MONDAY, April 13 (HealthDay News) -- The military deployment of women, who currently account for 10 percent of the American forces posted in Afghanistan and Iraq, has a detrimental effect not only on their own health but also on the health of their adolescent children, according to a study presented at the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States' 114th Annual Meeting held in San Antonio in November 2008.
Mona P. Ternus, Ph.D., of the United States Air Force and George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., conducted a study of 77 military women with preadolescent and adolescent offspring, and looked at a range of themes related to the health and behavior of both the mothers and their children. Over 60 percent of the cohort had been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Deployment of military women led to a number of physical symptoms such as cough, headaches, chest pain, muscle aches and skin rashes, with severity of symptoms directly related to the length of time they were deployed, the study found. In turn, the extent of the adolescents' risk behaviors such as non-accidental physical injury, drug use, self-mutilation and attempted suicide, was significantly correlated to their mothers' symptoms during deployment, how long they were deployed for, and the extent of support they received, the author found.
"Health care providers can be sensitive to the life-changing experiences of deploying in wartime, maternal absence, and potential health or behavioral concerns when treating women veterans and their families," the author writes.

Join in with 'Beating the Bounds' in Kings Langley
8:30am Monday 12th May 2014 in News By Michael Knowles, Reporter
Residents will have the opportunity to take part in an ancient walk this month.
Beating the Bounds, which is being held on Sunday, May 25, will see participants walk round the edge of the Kings Langley Parish, learning more about the parish they live in. The walk starts at All Saints Church of England Church, Church Lane.
Walk leader, councillor Alan Anderson said: "This year we will be leaving from All Saints at 11am on Sunday, May 25, and if you wish to take part, I would be grateful if you could contact the parish council office to say you're attending, even if that is dependent on the day's weather.
"The walk passes through beautiful countryside, but it also involves a busy road junction, a padlocked gate and private land, so it has to be organised as a group walk."

Welsh Medium Schools Cluster- Bridgend
"Bore da!!" Just the start of a facinating day…
Another "First" for me. I have done a lot of work now with children and adults who communicate regularly with each other in a language other than English. I have always thought, though, that one of the most fascinating, expressive and mysterious languages I have ever encountered, a language I have close to NO understanding of, is spoken, not in some far away distant land, but just over the narrow stretch of water from where I live. Welsh.
I had the great privilege of working with teachers in the Welsh speaking schools of Bridgend today.
Teachers from Ysgol Bro Ogwr, Ysgol Cynwyd Sant, Ysgol Cwm Garw, and Ysgol y Ferch o'r Sgêr.
We are going to try an experiment and Blog in both English and Welsh :::::::::::>
Wedi mwynhau a dysgu llawer mewn awyrgylch ymlaciol a llawn hwyl. Mae'r gem yn wych.
A really enjoyable experience -in a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere!Loads of ideas! The game is fantastic.
John and Pete
Ffordd arbennig o ddal sylw plant y dosbarth. Nifer o syniadau gwreiddiol yn addas i bob oedran. Diolch am y cyflwyniad diddorol yma!
A unique way of grabbing the attention of the class. Many original ideas which are appropriate for every age. Thank you for this interesting presentation!
Jenny Davies
Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Ogwr.
Bydd y rhaglen yn wych ar gyfer ysbrydoli'r disgyblion i ysgrifennu'n greadigol, i ddatrys problemau, i wneud gwaith pâr, grwp a dosbarth ac i fwynhau a gwella'u sgiliau TGCh. Bydd y raglen yn arwain at waith Thesawrws fel bod y plant yn gallu disgrifio'r golygfeydd i'w llawn botensial. Gwych ar gyfer ysgolion cyfrwng Cymraeg! Cyflwyniad gwych gan Tim.
We're quite sure that Myst will prove to be brilliant for creative writing, problem solving, paired work, group and whole class activities and opportunity to develop and enjoy ICT skills. The program will lead to Thesaurus work so that the pupils will be able to describe, to their full potential, the excellent graphics. An excellent resource for Welsh medium schools. A brilliant presentation. Thanks!
Sian Phillips
Syniadau arbennig ar gyfer ysgrifennu creadigol – yn enwedig sut i ysgogi plant i ysgrifennu yn y ddwy iaith. Ffordd gwych o ddysgu ac addysgu trwy 'chwarae gemau'. Mae gan Tim Rylands bersonoliaeth unigryw sydd yn medru ysgogi athrawon a disgyblion fel ei gilydd. Gwych!
Excellent ideas for creative writing – especially how to inspire children to write in both languages. Fantastic way to learn through 'game play'. Tim Rylands has a unique peronality that is able to motivate and inspire pupils and teachers alike. Brilliant!
Rhian, Dewi a Rebecca
Adnodd wych i ysbrydoli plant yn eu gwaith ysgrifenedig a llafar. Cyflwynydd bywiog a dychmygol dros ben.
Excellent resource to inspire written and oral work. A lively and enthusiastic presentation.
ysgol cwm garw
Edrychais ar y rhaglen neithiwr heb ddeall llawer amdano ac, i ddweud y gwir, wedi bod yn 'frustrated' iawn. Ar ôl hanner awr gyda Tim, rydw i, nawr, gweld y rhaglen trwy llygaid newydd. Y syniad o ddisgrifio golygfeydd, defnyddio synhwyrau, ac ati, yn wych! Diolch yn fawr.
I looked at the programme last night and, to tell you the truth, didn't understand very much about it and felt very frustrated, as I am not a great fan of computer games. However, after half an hour with Tim, this morning, I now see the programme through new eyes. The ideas presented about describing scenes and using one's senses, etc are excellent. Thank you very much.
Vicky Waters
Nifer o syniadau arbennig ar gyfer addysgu yn y dosbarth. Wrth gael fy nghyflwyno i'r gem gwelais y potesial sydd ganddo o rhan cyflwyno profiadau a syniadau newydd i fi fel athro ac i fy nosbarth. Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Loads of brilliant ideas for teaching in the classroom. By being introduced to the game i saw the massive potential this game has for introducing new experiances and ideas to me as a teacher and for my class. Many, many thanks!
Aled ap Iwan
Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Ogwr
Adnodd cyffrous sydd yn addas ar gyfer pob oedran. Syniadau arbennig o dda sydd yn apelio at ddychymyg y plant. Diolch yn fawr!
Exciting resource which is suitable throughout the ages. Excellent ideas that appeal to the pupils imagination. Thank you very much!
Mari ac Ian
Cwrs defnyddiol, diddorol a unigryw. Yr amser wedi hedfan – doedden ni ddim wedi treulio'r dydd yn gwylio'r cloc!! Edrych ymlaen at yfory a gweld Tim yn gweithio gyda'r plant.
A useful, interesting and very unique course. The time has flown – we didn't spend our time clock watching!! Looking forward to tomorrow and seeing Tim working with the children.
Anne Marie +Ruth
Fe fydd yr adnodd yn fodd gyffroes o symbylu defnydd iaith – ar lafar – yn y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg. Credaf y bydd yn ddefnyddiol ar gyfer hybu ysgrifennu estynedig ymhlith disgyblion sy'n gyndyn o fynegi eu syniadau a'u sylwadau ar bapur. Rwyn falch iawn i mi fynychu'r seswn yn y bore – roedd y mewnbwn yn cynnig nifer fawn o syniadau ac arddulliau i hybu ysgrifennu creadigol.
Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld Tim wrth ei waith yn y dosbarth yfory. Yr hyn sy'n amhrisiadwy ynglyn a'r adnodd yw'r ffaith y gellid ei ddefnyddio drwy gyfrwng unrhyw iaith. Mae hyn yn fanteisiol i ysgolion Cyfrwng Cymraeg.
Rwy'n hoffi'r syniad o'r pennaeth yn ysgrifennu llythr at y dosbarthiadau "gwarthus ein bod yn defnyddio gemau DVD – angen basio hyn"!! Bendant am wneud rhywbeth tebyg i hyn.
This resource is an exciting tool to promote the use of oral and written language in both English and Welsh. I believe the resource will be useful in developing extended writing with children that are reluctant to express themselves through writing.
I am pleased to have had the opportunity to attend this mornings session. The input outlined many ideas and techniques that could be implimented within a classroom
I'm looking forward to observing Tim at work within a classroom tomorrrow. The priceless element of this resource is that it can be used through the medium of many languages. This is advantageous to us as school in the welsh medium sector.
I like the idea of the head teacher sending a letter to the classes .
I will do something simular to this!
Ann Williams
Ysbrydoliaeth ansbaradigaethus ar gyfer ysgrifennu estynedig i bob oedran! Roedd MYST yn hawdd i'w ddefnyddio ac yn amlwg yn mynd i fod yn adnodd amhrisadwy yn ein hysgol.
Mwynhad llwyr i'r athro a'r disgyblion sydd yn cynhyrchu gwaith traws-gwricwlaidd o'r safon uchaf.
Llwyddodd Tim i drosglwyddo ei frwdfrydedd i ni am MYST ~ mae'n amlwg mae ganddo ddawn i agor meddyliau plant.
Diolch yn fawr Tim – Rwyt ti'n seren!
Fantastic inspiration to aid extended writing for all ages! MYST was easy to use and will be an invaluable resource in our school. Total enjoyment for teacher and pupil that produces work of the highest standard.
Tim succeeded in transferring his enthusiasm about MYST to us ~ it is clear that he has a gift to unlock children's minds.
Thank you Tim – you're a star!

A first few iPad tools: The powerful Educreations; Get scientific with Science 360;
Today's Meet is designed as a place to create a "back channel" during an event, such as a meeting, or conference. It can make a good way to encourage, and record, communication in a learning environment too.
A potentially useful way to gather thoughts, and ideas, in a collaborative way. At the moment TodaysMeet is open, so anybody could contribute. This means you need to consider WHO might add in from "outside", but it is unlikely to attract people who you haven't given the URL to, and Today's Meet does not publish a list of active rooms. Give it a go.
The Answer Pad is a great, FREE, way of creating questions (in many styles), gathering answers, and keeping a track of the results. Use the reporting system for item analysis, reports by skill, by class, by student. Setting questions free.

The new Go Interactive component of The Answer Pad allows teachers to engage their students by "pushing" out different response types to the class. The students submit their responses and the teacher dashboard displays a great visual of all the students responses on one screen. The best part about Go Interactive is the fact that, since teachers are not typing in questions, or making slides and presentations, there is almost no preparation needed to use this tool in the classroom. The Go Interactive feature is currently only available with the TAPit Free app. A browser version is "coming soon".
Use the answer sheet feature for summative assessments, quizzes and tests and get immediate reporting, or the Go Interactive for formative assessment to drive lesson sessions.

CleVR provides a suite of online tools for creating and sharing panoramic photos.

This can also be embedded into other sites and blogs. Interactive hotspots can be added to the panorama, which can be clicked to display photos and text. Sign up is required, but the program is FREE.
|The software deliberately has fewer features than other photo stitching software, as the focus is on simplicity and ease of use. Stitching & uploading a panorama takes around 5 minutes & is fully automatedThe one you see, to the right, is not perfect as we did it at great pace, down at the side of the Bosphorus. Take a little more care and we wouldn't have the gap on the far shore, or a blurred dome. Hey ho!Get pupils to make a virtual tour of your school maybe, and embed it on a blog or website? A still image AND a moving panorama!CleVR eh? And, easy.

QuicktimeVR's and panoramas are superb tools for stimulating discussion as well. Some of the best can be found at Panoramas.dk, a huge and glorious collection of QTVRs of every landscape and event imaginable.
Don't forget, stand still, and get the most from a static sight, before you even think about moving.
As big fans of virtual panoramas, such as those to be found at Panoramas.dk, we can also recommend the excellent Arounder, for a collection of panoramas from locations around the world. Great for inspiring talk for writing.
It is important to not forget to take the time to stand still in each Panorama and write or discuss – before you even think about moving. It is the first movement that creates a bit of magic when using these with children.
Don't forget that you can also make your own panoramas with CleVR, Dermander, Photosynth and others.
Have YOU tried PhotoSynth yet? Photosynth offers two styles for creating immersive 3D experiences: synths and panoramas… and now its mobile too.
You can tilt and turn your way around a sight, zooming in on closer detail, and it is remarkably simple to create these engaging experiences.
Choose a panorama when you can capture everything from a single location with a single zoom level. Great for giving a sense of what it feels like to be in a one particular place. Can be 360° in both directions, but doesn't have to be. Panoramas are simple to navigate – you can go left/right, up/down and zoom in/out.
Synths are good for capturing different sides or details of an object. More complex to navigate than panoramas because you are moving from photo to photo., and somewhat more complex to create.
To make panoramas from your desktop, install Image Composite Editor and the Photosynth application.
To make synths, just install the Photosynth application.
The Photosynth app is available now for iOS in the iTunes App Store.
Other operating systems are supported too….
To make panoramas from your iPhone, get the Photosynth App from Apple's App Store.
We have tried it on a few scales: sat inside a car, and out in the great wide open. Both have problems but still end up being remarkable, speedy, ways to remember somewhere, and explore it again later. Try it in a room with a group who aren't able to sit still, and you get some gloriously, almost Picasso-like, mix ups. Worth exploring and developing this aspect, and turn it in to a strength in art project perhaps.
I wanted to give a shout out for PhotoSynth again, as I think it has a lot of additional potential now it has gone mobile. It might also be a good end of year challenge for some pupils: to make a virtual tour of the school they are leaving, for example, whether using the mobile, or desktop, version.
Something we have used for quite a while now, and involve as just one step in the process of bringing worlds alive, with the schools we work alongside, is the wonderful Google Street View Stereographic. This joyous gem makes your very own, free, explorable, mini planets!
Visit your location, in StreetView Stereographic, & then learn to fly, as it is possible to move around within your world.
Just one way remember, but a fantastic stimulus for talk, discussion, talk for writing, and a whole lot more. Fun! _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Now THIS is something worth a massive exploration: Soundation is a most impressive online digital music machine that has huge potential.
The FREE version allows a lot (except you can't save or mix down your end results).
Nature Sound Map, enables exploration of the wonders of the world, in some superb ambient audio recordings of landscapes, and animals, across the globe ~ from a rock pool in Devon, to jackals in the Kalahari, …& beyond. Sound!
A group of professional nature recordists from around the globe have collaborated to develop Nature Soundmap, an enjoyable and interactive way of exploring the natural sounds of our planet. Combining high-quality field recordings with the latest satellite imagery, the project brings together some of nature's most beautiful, interesting & inspiring sounds.
Hear the World Like Never Before
Immerse yourself in a pulsating insect chorus in Borneo's tropical rainforest, or climb the Himalayas and relax to the melodies of birdsong in an alpine meadow. Use Nature Soundmap to discover the wonderful soundscapes and wildlife sounds of our planet.
Many recordings in the collection are 'binaural' soundscapes, in other words, stereo recordings made with two microphones which capture sound in 360 degrees.This recording technique most accurately imitates the natural experience you would hear with your own two ears and provides a realistic representation of all of the sounds in a particular habitat or location. If you sit back, close you eyes and relax while listening to a well-recorded soundscape, it doesn't take long before you feel like you're actually there!
Great to enhance the atmosphere of a space, or create the soundtrack to the piece of descriptive narrative perhaps. Enjoy your exploring. Sounds good eh? _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Ambient Mixer makes it possible to listen to free audio atmospheres, or mix your own ambient sounds online.
Great for making background sounds to a piece of music, or descriptive narrative? Use as an underscore, to inspire talk for writing, as a way of making the soundtrack to a podcast or other audio broadcast.
Listen to relaxing music, ambient atmospheres and astonishing sound effect, use endless audio loops, or upload your own, to create a unique audio mix.
No software installations required. All ready made, mixable atmospheres use royalty free audio files, thanks to the Creative Commons Sampling Plus license.
A good way of experiencing mixing of sounds, level, crossfade, left to right placement, and more. You need to pay to download the end result, but don't need to & the process itself is free. Enjoy some relaxing sounds whilst you plan too.
With this sound board you could create a calming sonic atmosphere within your classroom. Mix the relative levels, and panned position, of different sounds, from a choice of birdsong, bonfire, creek, crickets, gulls, ocean, rain, thunder, and wind chime sound effects, & music. Sound!
Try Go Mix It too
Hyperlapse gets Streetview moving.
Set a start, and end point, (keep it short) in Streetview, and then watch, as Hyperlapse creates a swooping journey along the route, paying attention to landmarks along the way.
Hyper-lapse photography ~ combining time-lapse & sweeping camera movements ~ has been a growing trend on video sites.
It's not hard to find stunning examples on Vimeo. Creating them requires precision and many hours stitching together photos taken from carefully mapped locations.
TeehanLax labs aimed at making the process simpler by using Google Street View as an aid. It worked so well, they decided to design a User Interface around their "engine" and released Google Street View Hyperlapse.
The site settings are purposely low (for example, having a maximum of 60 frames per animation) for greater accessibility. However, all the source code is available on Github (including examples and documentation) so, if you feel brave, you could become a "developer", and play with higher frame rates, better image quality, and more complicated camera movements. Free & freeing! Get experimenting. We would LOVE to see your animated travels!
Like many people, we are big fans of Wordle and similar word cloud generators.
Our post on Wordles of Character created a bit of trend, with people from all over the place sending their own, pieces of art.
We have been having fun with students, exploring the magic of Tagxedo, since then.
Tagxedo brings a word-cloud alive. The layout of each cloud can be manipulated to a great level of detail: colour, shape, rotation and more.
When you hover your cursor over a word within that cloud, it spins, and forms a hyperlink to your chosen URL. (The default being a Google search based on that word.
Here is one on the theme of feet. Have fun experimenting.
earth album is a simple, slick Flickr mash-up that allows you to explore some of the most stunning photos in the world courtesy of Google maps and Flickr. To begin your journey, just click somewhere on the map… _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Ever wondered what, and where, is exactly on the other side of the world from where you live? With zfrank.com's Earth sandwich tool you can do just that.
Drag one map around, until you have placed the locator above where YOU are, & the other map will scroll into position showing where, if you dug through the globe, you'd end up. For many of us, it would be in the middle of an ocean. Pack goggles as well as your spade!

With Nice Translator, you just start typing, and it automatically turns what you have written in to multiple languages, all in one go.
This can be in your choice of Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Creole, Hebrew, Hindi, Hmong Daw, Hungarian, Italian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, & Vietnamese. A fascinating experience of languages.
Colours in Culture is an interactive exploration inspired by David McCandless' Information is Beautiful.
It is fascinating to think that a single colour could denote "love" & "marriage" in one culture, & "death" in another.
Colours are important in communication. Ideas, feelings and emotions can be expressed with a variety of tones and shades. Understanding them is vital. Not paying attention to how a colour is perceived, could result in embarrassing problems, or misunderstandings.
Woices encourages the recording of geo-located voice overs, guides, commentaries, or "echoes", about the places you explore. There are also free Iphone, Android, & Blackberry apps. What about trying this as a way of leading a guided walk, or challenge, around an environment? Potentially very useful.
Powered by Google Earth, and Google Maps, Hypercities is a huge collection of historic, and more modern maps, that can be viewed overlayed upon up to date plans.
HyperCities essentially allows users to go back in time to create and explore the historical layers of city spaces in an interactive way.
Cities mapped include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Rome, Lima, Ollantaytambo, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Tehran, Saigon, Toyko, Shanghai, Seoul, with more to come.
In looking at maps, old and new, we find the site "Wherethepath" to be really useful. It gives you the power to see different map formats, side-by-side, and to toggle between modern maps & old 1940s versions.
This a free site, (and OS impose a limit of 200000 map tile fetches per day"), but, if it runs out temporarily, the site will run with out of copyright 1940s OS Mapping. There is a version of this site without route planning HERE.
Here is a powerful tool, when carrying out a geography project of any kind: GeoPlanet Explorer. Here you can explore the geographical information provided by Yahoo in the GeoPlanet API and data set.
Simply enter a location in the form and submit it to get detailed information about the place you are looking for – including its "ancestors", "siblings", "children" (smaller regions of the area) and other relationships.
For example, when you look up Bristol (you can drill down much deeper and in more detail than that) it shows the ancestors as England and The United Kingdom. It "belongs to" category includes area codes, counties (both existing and historical) and much more.
This could be useful information when investigating a local area, or contrasting region somewhere else in the country, or indeed, the world.
eyePlorer is "an interactive data visualization of various facts and the relationships between them. Keywords related to a user-chosen topic are placed in a circle, which once selected, reveals the nature of the relationship. An engaging, visual exploration of information.
The colours within the circle denote different categories such as people, countries or organizations. Click on All Facts and see many of interrelated findings, by category.
We think eyePlorer is superb but has the one limitation that it is only based on Wikipedia entries, which are excellent sources of information but aren't exhaustive. Give it a go and let us know what you discover.
Snappy Words is a bit like InstaGrock, GraphWords, WordSift and Visuwords and has the advantage that you can sometimes double click on a node to dig deeper.
It's an online interactive English dictionary and thesaurus that helps you find the meanings of words and draw connections to associated words. You can easily see the meaning of each piece of vocabulary by simply placing the mouse cursor over it.
Learn how words associate in a visually interactive display. Get ideas to help write content for your blog, article, thesis or simply play with words!
For younger children, Snappy Words shows that words are malleable, playful delights, to be picked up & juggled with. For older students, it beats "right clicking words in Word"!
Type words in the search box and click Go or simply hit Enter. Once the words branch off the main query, you can double click a node to find other related words. To explore the features:
Place the mouse cursor over a word to view the meaning.
Double click a node from the branch to view other related words.
Scroll the mouse wheel over words to zoom in or out. This helps you see more
associations or view words and meanings more clearly.
Click and drag a word or branch to move it around and explore other branches.
Try out GraphWords, WordSift and Visuwords to see which one you find the most useful. Remember that InstaGrock uses the interlinked word and concepts graph, and then allows you to dig in a different way too. But the others focus on the word play and vocabulary aspects more fully.
Snappy Words requires no registration or software installation. All you need is an internet connection and a browser (Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer and others). It's free and fun! _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Spicy Nodes is something we have linked to before, but feel that is well worth further exploration. Present, store, link and group …almost anything.
Text, links, photos, and other media — are placed into "nodes," which are then linked together in an attractive, interactive interface that invites exploration.
Spicy Nodes allows you to add pieces of information and embed images and youtube videos. These elements can then be linked together as a mind map which, as you click on different 'nodes', changes to show all the linked bits and bobs.
One use: a research tool in that children can investigate a particular topic, link, and then expand upon, the information already posted. How about using Spicy Nodes for lesson or topic planning?
A delightful aspect of Spicy Nodes is that there are many design styles you can manipulate, to make your mind map unique.
You can embed links to external sites as well as create links to existing nodes.
Another use of Spicy Nodes, or any mind map, can be to present a non-linear argument or debate – opening up aspects, as they are needed, to add an argument to a group's standpoint. Powerful.
These dancing, malleable, interactive collections of thoughts, notes, headings, and more, can be viewed and manipulated full screen, and embedded into other sites. _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Talk Typer is a great online speech to text tool, which works within the Google Chrome browser. It does need a little help with some punctuation and, like any speech recognition, can make some mistakes, but is a good free way to experiment with spoken-to-written word. _______________________________________________________________________________________________
From Text To Speech is a free online Text To Speech (TTS) service with natural sounding voices. The voices aren't quite as convincing as those in Ivona, great for its accents and languages) but, after you have converted your text, you can then save your phrses into MP3 audio file to play it on your computer or iPod ~a useful tool.
Thank you to Gwynfor Owen (on the left here) for translating this. You could try Ivona to do some word juggling for you.

Ysgol Gymraeg Casnewydd ~ Day 2
A second day at Ysgol Gymraeg Casnewydd, this time with the staff, looking at a vast amount of digital delights to bring learning even more alive.
What we shared today fits so well with the school's ethos, and ways of working, already. We experienced some of the confidence, sense of humour, and imagination, of the children yesterday. Carrying out lessons, both in English, and Welsh, is a superb way to develop written, aural, and oral, dexterity. We looked at a huge range of tools that can be used in developing that word play, thought juggling, and imaginative inventiveness. Continue Reading
Ysgol Gymraeg Casnewydd ~ Day 1
Great to be back in Newport, for the first of two days alongside the children, and staff, of Ysgol Gymraeg Casnewydd.
Welsh really is a beautiful language, and perfect for poetic, descriptive, invention.
We carried out our lessons in that fascinating cross between two languages. As someone who grew up only a few miles across the River Severn, yet never managed more than a poor impression of spoken Welsh, it has always been intriguing to carry out lesson sessions in a mixture of tongues.

Zemeckis: No Back To The Future 4
9:16am Friday 1st February 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Robert Zemeckis has denied that there will be a fourth Back To The Future film.
Despite the long-running rumours surrounding another instalment of the time-travelling franchise, which starred Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the Oscar-winning director and writer said there are no plans for a fourth movie.
"There is no truth whatsoever," he said about the stories.
The Flight filmmaker previously told Empire: "There's no Back To The Future IV and there shouldn't be a Back To The Future IV. I don't think there should ever be a fourth sequel to anything. Three is a dramatic number. It's a three-act structure... Four is boring."
Robert directed and co-wrote the three films with Bob Gale, who has also debunked the rumours.
"Michael J Fox is not in the best of shape with his Parkinson's. The idea of making another Back To The Future movie without Michael J Fox... you know, that's like saying, 'I'm going to cook you a steak dinner and I'm going to hold the beef.' You can't do that," he said in 2008.
He added: "I'm sure Universal would love it if we were to say to them, 'Hey, let's do another one!' but we don't think we could ever make a fourth one that would live up to how great the first three are, so we're going to leave well enough alone."

Harsco Stock Hits New 52-Week High (HSC)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) hit a new 52-week high Tuesday as it traded at $36.63 compared with its previous 52-Week high of $36.49. Harsco is changing hands at $36.60 with 181,807 shares traded as of 10:51 a.m. ET. Average volume has been 763,500 shares over the past 30 days.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Stroke patients who receive a multidisciplinary intervention targeting management of fever, hyperglycemia, and swallowing dysfunction are less likely to be dead or dependent at 90 days and more likely to have better physical functioning, according to a study published online Oct. 12 in The Lancet.
Sandy Middleton, Ph.D., from the Australian Catholic University in Sydney, and colleagues investigated the impact of a multidisciplinary intervention with an evidence-based treatment protocol to manage fever, hyperglycemia, and swallowing dysfunction on patient outcomes at 90 days after hospitalization for stroke. English speaking patients, aged 18 years or older, presenting within 48 hours of onset of symptoms and diagnosed with ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage were included. Ten acute stroke units (ASUs) were randomized to receive the intervention and nine to receive an abridged version of existing guidelines (control). Data from pre-intervention and post-intervention patient cohorts were compared for 90-day death or dependency (modified Rankin scale [mRS], ≥2), functional dependency, and short form-36 (SF-36) physical and mental component summary scores.
The investigators found that irrespective of stroke severity, intervention ASU patients were significantly less likely to be dead or dependent at 90 days than the control group (42 versus 58 percent).The SF-36 mean physical component summary score was significantly better in the intervention than the control group (45.6 versus 42.5). There were no significant differences between the groups for mortality, SF-36 mean mental component summary scores, or functional dependency.
"Implementation of multidisciplinary supported evidence-based protocols initiated by nurses for the management of fever, hyperglycemia, and swallowing dysfunction delivers better patient outcomes after discharge from stroke units," the authors write.

So i go in the bathroom etc and of course im still soo confused about what it shoudl look like NOW (if i am over ovulation) can anyladies HELp me?
After ovulation you'll start to dry up again.
The following information describes the typical progression of the cervical mucus quantity and quality you can expect to see as you move through your menstrual cycle:
- After your menstrual period: The production of cervical mucus is at its lowest immediately following your period, and some women report

Cougars Team Up With PGSO
By 250 Sports
Prince George, B.C. – So what could the Prince George Cougars and the Prince George Symphony Orchestra possible have in common that would prompt them to hold a joint news conference.
I mean we have all witnessed the poetic artistry that a hockey player can exhibit on the ice: the sensationally sleek strides of an Eddie Shack(!), the passionate pirouette of a Phil Esposito, the shimmeringly smooth glide of Robert Gordon Orr (followed closely by Paul Douglas Coffey), the deftly devine form of a Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, and how about tossing in a bone-crushing, open ice hip check from Danny Hamhuis. All examples of majestic grace, right?
Well, back to reality here. What the Cougars and PGSO have announced is that after two years as Orchestra G.M., Marnie Hamagami is joining the Cougars as their new Director of Sales and Marketing, starting Monday. Hamagami is credited with infusing the orchestra organization with positivity, growing ticket sales by 15% and bringing about excellent labour relations with the musicians.
Hamagami says the two organizations will be working together on some very unique ideas for the future. The first joint effort has the Cougars sponsoring the Pops in the Park concert this September. The free event marks the beginning of the PGSO's new season.
Cougars Vice President of Business Andy Beesley says "I'm really looking forward to working with Marnie and having her play a major role with our team. She brings great energy and a wonderful sense of community engagement to our organization."

YES on Hagel. He is Republican, a Christian, Pro-Life, Pro-gun, Pro-family, a Veteran, a Businessman. The next candidate could be a Communist, anti-gun, non-Christian, Christian hating person, that would be happy to hunt down Christians. And they would probably want to get rid of or lower WMD since they would probably be Democrat. Plus Iran has pacts with Russia and China that if attacked,they will help her , and that could start WW3. Please GOP do not shoot yourselves in the foot.

Jennifer Kennedy defrauded me i payed her $375 plus for 15 sessions plus 6 free sessions and supplements that i payed for. she only gave me 3 sessions August 12, 16 and 20th of 2012... which she never trained me after the AUGUST 20th of 2012.
On August 20th of 2012 i gave Jen $50 dollars for Nike shoes, becuase she told me that "i needed running shoes and that one of her friends can hook me up wih nike shoes because i need good running shoes" and "you were going to help me get nike shoes". The total cost for the nike shoes were $100 but you told me you only needed $50 and you were going to put $50. [continued below]....
Jen Kennedy is a LIAR she is not even a Certified Personal Trainer, she told me that NASM( National Academy of sports medicine) certified her, but it wasent true. i called Nasm. they told me Jen Is not certified through them, and that she is probrably in good shape and tricks people that she is certified. I also called her workplace which she works at L.A FITNESS, el CAjon, CAlifornia and they told me Jen is just a Fitness coach NOT A PERSONAL TRAINER LIKE SHE TOLD ME
Jennifer took advantage of me, because i told her am stress out and i need help with my fitness goals which she tricked me saying stuff that would make me feel better but in reality she wanted me to trust her so that i can pay her the money and the $50 dollars Jennifer kennedy is Very Lack of consideration because when i payed her she said she was going to help me reach my fitness goals which the only thing she accomplished was giving me more stress, she dint even apoligize for what she did to me!!!... Also the money i gave her goes through supplements when on August 20th, 2012 she gave me a supplement that was halfway, the supplement was C-4... she also told me to take Jack 3d so that we can train i did and on August 13 and 15 of 2012 she bailed on me, even after we haved booked for the sessions.
Jennifer Kennedy is Very Unproffessional she dosent even no how to do business, when i payed her and she bailed on me on August 13and 15th. what kind of trainer does this to a client who payed for his sessions? this is very unfair. The second time we train on August 16, 2012 she was on her laptop almost the whole time thats VERY UNPROFFESIONAL, and she told me i give up on her. What kind of trainer criticize their clients. Trainers are suppose to help people out not criticize them.
Jennifer kennedy failed her fiduciary duty as a trainer, a trainer suppose help the trainee out not defraud him, telling him you give up on you, telling him am going to help you get nike shoes and your fitness goals come true!!! Jen used this excuse to defraud me and take an extra $50 from me. thats why she offered me 6 free sessions to lure me in which it did happened..the money that i payed for the sesions also included for the supplement, which one of the supplements was halfay empty... What kind of trainer does this? she even moved away from her complex where she was living in LA meza, because we trained in her gym in her complex were she lived. What kind of trainer takes advantage of a client who is stressed out, and you old me that you were going to help me, she even sweared on the bible and on her family. And i found out she was not even a trainer at L.A fitness like she told me she was at L.A fitness of NAVAJO ROAD.. JENNIFER IS JUST A FRONT DESK EMPLOYEE!!!! NOT A PERSONAL TRAINER OR A FITNESS COACH>>> JENNIFER IS JUST A PERSONAL COACH!!!
Jennifer deceived me with her looks. On August 16, 2012 she told me she is really going to help me out and she needed $100 for shoes but since she wanted me to trust her she told me she only needed $50 dollars for the shoes. Her innovent look did fool me.
Who ever is trying to get back in shape DO NOT HIRE JENNIFER KENNEDY, she DOESNT EVEN HAVE A BUSINESS LICENSE BECAUSE I TOLD HER MANY TIMES WHATS YOUR BUSINESS NAME AND EVERYTING AND SHE REFUSED TO ANSWER MY QUESTION. SHe also does MAke up artist DO NOT HIRE HER FOR ANY SORT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE SHE IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL,.... SHE DOES'NT EVEN WANT TO PAY ME BACK!! ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY BACK AND THATS IS>>>> I KNOW JENNIFER KENNEDY MADE SOME ELSE MAKE THE FAKE REPORT OF MIAMI FLORIDA>>> THE ONE OF FLORIDA IS NOT THE REAL REPORT THIS IS THE REAL REPORT>> JENNIFER PLANS TO DIP OUT TO FLORIDA WITHOUT PAYING ME>>>>> JUST PAY ME BACK!!!!!

Review: K-BAD
The folks over at KFFL.com have been gracious enough to invite me to participate in KFFL's Baseball Analysis Draft (K-BAD) the last couple of years. When you see how my team performed no wonder they invited me. I'm apparently an easy mark.
Ryan Doumit was great (.275-18-75). Not so much Kurt Suzuki who burned me in pretty much every league (literally every one huh?). As they say, love hurts.
Miguel Cabrera was my rock. Triple Crown winner (.330-44-139).
Howie Kendrick didn't match his 2011 effort but he was solid (.287-8-67-57-14).
Kevin Youkilis didn't come close to living up to my expectations with his worst season (.235/.336/.409).
Derek Jeter was one run and one steal from a .315-15-55-100-10 season.
Mark Reynolds and Dustin Ackley didn't exactly anchor my CI/MI spots.
Matt Holliday, B.J. Upton, Dexter Fowler and Shane Victorino were a strong base in the outfield, but Brennan Boesch (.240-12-54-52 in 470 at-bats) and Vernon Wells (.230-11-29-36 in 243 at-bats) were dreadful as my 5th outfield option. I should have listened to my own review of Boesch.
Daniel Murphy was solid and qualified at multiple positions. Rafael Furcal was spectacular for two months (.333 with 37 runs and eight steals in April-May) and good in the first half (.275 with 54 runs scored) before his work at the dish caved (.239 with a .600 OPS over his last 38 games). Oh, and finally my boy, Chris Davis, killed it. Davis socked 33 long balls and drive in 85 while scoring 75 times. I knew the power would eventually come out.
King Felix dominated. Ricky Romero was atrocious. Josh Beckett was as blah as blah gets. Brandon Morrow was great but missed two months with injury. Wandy Rodriguez was league average across the board. Ricky Nolasco was worse than Wandy. Scott Baker blew his arm out.
Sergio Santos blew his arm out. Frank Francisco was awful (5.53 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, 23 SVs). David Robertson was the closer for about 10 days before he was injured (I spent 35% of my FAAB budget to add him for that 10 day run. What luck, right?). Sergio Romo was nails as always (1.79 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 14 SVs).
CONGRATS: Joe Hamrahi of Baseball Prospectus.
FINAL RESULT: 11/12. This is the most embarrassed I think I have ever been at a club. My pitching was abysmal. Because I realized with a third of the year left that I have no shot at doing anything in the saves or ratio categories I tanked the ratios and gave up on relievers in an attempt to try and rack up strikeouts and wins. Even that didn't help. On offense, I was 13 RBIs from three more points, seven homers from two more points and two steals from another point. It's always close as I've been saying.
