"Anything Alice Honig writes is a treasure, and this book is no exception."
Research shows that stress in the crucial early years of a child's life can pose dramatic, lasting challenges to development, learning, and behavior. This is the practical book early childhood professionals need to recognize stress in young children and intervene with proven relief strategies before pressures turn into big problems. Developed by celebrated early childhood expert Alice Sterling Honig, this guidebook helps readers address the most common causes of stress in a young child's life, including separation anxiety, bullying, jealousy, and family circumstances. Educators and childcare providers will understand key factors that influence a child's stress level, including attachment, temperament, developmental and learning challenges, health issues, and family pressures become a keen observer of the varied and sometimes subtle ways that children express stress choose from a wide range of stress-busting techniques (see box) all innovative, time-tested, and clinically validated personalize stress-busters to meet the needs of individual children skillfully use stress-reducing strategies with groups of children from diverse backgrounds harness the power of storytelling to model solutions to problems and help children address negative feelings avoid burnout by handling the stresses in their own adult lives, from challenging interactions with parents to issues with co-workers Memorable stories inspired by Dr. Honig's 30+ years of experience show readers how these stress-busters can make a real difference in children's lives, and the questions at the end of each chapter are ideal aids for self-study or professional development courses. Packed with down-to-earth, easy-to-use ideas, this empowering book gives professionals the tools they need to conquer stress in any early childhood setting so children can develop the early social and academic skills they'll need to succeed in school.
"Anything Alice Honig writes is a treasure, and this book is no exception."
"This highly respected scholar presents a valuable antidote to the current academic emphasis in early education. Using an appropriate whole child approach, she provides practitioners with those tools required to reduce young children's stress which we know to be a major barrier to children's optimal education."
"Finally, an authoritative resource that offers parents and professionals a wealth of information about how to recognize signs of stress in the lives of young children, and more importantly, practical suggestions for what to do about it."
"Amazingly practical advice on understanding how family, school and public events and relationships influence children's behavior. The stress-reducing strategies will really benefit both children and the adults who care for and teach them."
"Offers very helpful resources to teachers including a framework for recognizing, understanding, and supporting children displaying stress in the classroom."
"Strikes the perfect balance between reducing stress and protecting children from harm while also promoting their coping skills and resilience. This powerful book is packed with practical strategies for teachers."
"...underscores the need to recognize and alleviate worrisome stressors in the lives of young children as early as infancy...This book provides practical and sensitive tools to address this compelling concern. "
"A book to help teachers understand and deal with stress among young children, parents, and teachers themselves . . . should find a place in the libraries of both veteran and novice teachers."
"Gives early childhood educators a tool box of ideas . . . on supporting children living in stressful situations. A summary of best practices in early childhood education."
"A detailed reader-friendly book for every teacher."
"A book that will challenge assumptions about children's behavior and emotional development, while also challenging assumptions of the role of emotional learning in today's early childhood classrooms, an aspect that is far too often cast aside in favor of more academic pursuits."
Every teacher needs a personal supply of strategies that work most of the time to calm children and increase classroom peacefulness. These techniques allow the adult to personalize and enhance positive interactions with each individual child. Included in this chapter are some stress-reducing strategies for children. No one stress technique works every time in every situation with every child. As you become a seasoned child observer, your special knowledge of each child will help you adapt techniques to a particular child in a particular situation. For example, you may find that picking up a child and holding him close in a big hug is a good method for calming that child during a challenging interaction. Your ingenuity and perceptive insights will help you to adapt methods to decrease the child's stress.
Touch is magic; touch is crucial (Honig, 2002). Use soothing touch whenever possible to calm an upset child. Caress a child's back with long, soothing strokes using an outstretched palm. When a tiny child is suffering from separation anxiety during the early times after entering care, holding and stroking the child are especially important to decrease stress. An infant carrier such as a kangaroo pouch works well for soothing a tiny baby with your body warmth and the rhythms of your movements. In the days after enrollment, a toddler often needs more cuddling time when suffering stranger anxiety or separation distress. Yet this same toddler can grin and run boldly away from a caregiver in a delighted show of his autonomy when he is feeling comfortable in the child care situation.
Give a Calming Massage
If a child is perpetually getting into disagreements with other children, set aside a few minutes twice a day as your special time with that child. Use this time to massage that child's back and shoulders, arms, and fingers with lotion; this strategy seems to work like magic for many children. Some preschoolers will even request a soothing rub with "magic" lotion when they are feeling distressed.
Watch an infant massage video. Learn specific gentle strokes, such as Indian milking, Swedish milking, paddlewheel, sun and moon, and other strokes that relax babies' bodies. Massage calms the soul and the body. Babies who are massaged regularly or daily begin to respond to massages with smiles and relaxation (Leboyer, 1976). Locate lotion with colorful sparkles inside. Some preschoolers who need daily arm and hand massages to bring down tense feelings are sure that lovely lotion with sparkling colors has even more magic to soothe worries.
A child who has been abused may stiffen and flinch if you approach frontally to caress the child. Try back rubs and soothing pats on the shoulder in your initial attempts to increase loving touches for that child.
Use Lowered Voice Tones
Use lowered voice tones when trying to calm an upset child. Speak slower and with a soothing, even hypnotic, reassuring tone. The calmness in your voice brings down stressful feelings. Lower rather than raised tones in response to the child's tense exhibition of distress will soothe the child's psyche. This technique often works well also with an adult who is frazzled, sharp toned, and sounds upset on the phone or at a parent conference.
Use a Child's Name Frequently and Lovingly
You have noticed how proud preschoolers are when they learn how to write some letters of their name. Now they can "sign" their own pictures to bring home for parents to display on t

In Conversation With Will Hunter, Director Of The New London School Of Architecture
The great schools of architecture have been around since time immemorial, or at least that's how it can often feel. In London, a city particularly dense with institutions of this calibre, this is perhaps felt more acutely. How, then, do you develop an entirely new school in this tightly packed environment which has the potency and capacity to compete? Will Hunter, former executive editor of the London-based Architectural Review, began a process to do just this with an article in 2012. Following this, he set up the ARFA—Alternative Routes For Architecture—in order to explore different models for architectural education, calling upon professionals and academics to contribute to a series of informal discussions.
"When the tuition fees in the UK escalated to around £9000 per year in 2013, it got me thinking about different models for architectural education," Hunter recalls. The casual meetings held around this time gradually become more serious until, "at a certain point, we decided to test them: to make a school." The project gathered momentum from that point on and now, two years later, the London School of Architecture (LSA) are preparing to take in their first 'trailblazing cohort' of postgraduate students.
RIBA Agrees Upon Major Changes To UK Architectural Education
Today, @RIBA Council aproved the structures to modernise architectural education pic.twitter.com/Iwt9tpGKt0
— RIBA Education (@RIBAEducation) March 24, 2015
Exactly one year ago an important event took place. A gathering of seventy student delegates, organised by the Architecture Students Network (ASN), met to discuss the future of architectural education. Their meeting was sparked by the latest directive from the European Union which seeks to "establish more uniformity across Europe by aligning the time it takes to qualify", making mutual recognition of the architect's title easier between countries.
The ASN's discussions concluded that the course content throughout the UK system of 'Part I, II, and III', and the duration of said course, urgently needs to be re-evaluated in order to reflect the changing needs of the profession – especially in light of the recent rise in tuition fees and associated university costs. Back then, a spokesperson for the ASN said that "it really felt like momentum for change has finally reached a tipping point."
SCI-Arc Offers Emerging Systems, Technologies & Media Post Professional Program
A dynamic post-professional program in Emerging Systems, Technologies, & Media (ESTm) offered by the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in Los Angeles has been charged with examining core contemporary issues facing architecture and design today. Spanning topics from advanced manufacturing methodologies to new building systems, this one year Master of Design Research track allows professionals to rethink architecture and design through the experimental hands-on approach of the SCI-Arc community.
The ESTm program tests new levels of environmental performance as it prepares students to successfully integrate formal, technical, logistical, and material processes into advanced architectural designs. The program is open to graduates in architecture, engineering, product design, computer sciences and other professionals who wish to develop advanced research and design skills in light of continuously evolving materials and new production paradigms of the 21st century.
ABDM and RAU Win Competition to Design College Campus in Kortrijk
A Practical Study in the Discipline of Architectural Modelmaking
Why do we make models? From sketch maquettes and detail tests to diagrammatic and presentation models, the discipline of physically crafting ideas to scale is fundamental to the architect's design process. For architect and educator Nick Dunn, architectural models ultimately "enable the designer to investigate, revise and further refine ideas in increasing detail until such a point that the project's design is sufficiently consolidated to be constructed." In Dunn's second edition of his practical guide and homage to the architectural model, the significance and versatility of this medium is expertly visualised and analysed in a collection of images, explanations, and case studies.
LOBBY: The Spectacle Of The "Un/Spectacle"
I was recently at a lecture at Rotterdam's Nieuwe Instituut in which Dirk van den Heuvel mediated a discussion between Kenneth Frampton and Herman Hertzberger. Talking of those who contributed to the Dutch Structuralist movement, Hertzberger lamented the fact that so many have faded into obscurity: "if you make the mistake of not writing" he said, "you're bound to be forgotten." Accompanying design with the written word is at the core of good practice, not only because it lends design an elevated meaning by cementing it into a wider discourse, but also because it often uncovers the subconscious significance of the process of architecture.
LOBBY is an attempt from students of London's Bartlett School of Architecture to anchor in-house research and external contributions in words, "creating both a space we lack and an action we desire." Their new journal is also a response to the school's current in-between state as they await their new building in temporary studio spaces. As such, LOBBY will serve as a platform for exchange and discussion in lieu of a physical lobbying space. The first issue explores the theme of Un/Spectacle, offering different layers, approaches, readings and perspectives on the topic of the '(un)spectacle' of the everyday.
Interview: Behind the Scenes of the University of Toronto's Mental Health Report
In a TED Talk from 2009, writer Elizabeth Gilbert muses about how uncomfortable she is with the assumption that "creativity and suffering are somehow inherently linked." The majority of Gilbert's thoughtful and humorous monologue is about finding sanity amidst both success and failure, or in other words, about finding a way to break this link. Earlier this year, the University of Toronto Graduate Architecture Landscape and Design Student Union's (GALDSU) set out to do just that – break the link between creativity and suffering at their school – and start a productive dialogue about mental health. GALDSU began by gathering the facts through a mental health study of their peers, the results of which we discussed several months ago.
To learn more about what's happened at their school (and beyond) since it was published, we sat down with Joel Leon, the man who spearheaded the effort and the newly elected president of the student union, as well as Elise Hunchuck, the vice-president of the student union.

Review: MacMag39, Mackintosh School of Architecture
MagMag, a student-edited compendium of essays, projects and ideas from Glasgow's Mackintosh School of Architecture, is now in its 39th edition. Following on from what has so far been a momentous year for the Mac, in which they've seen Steven Holl Architects' new Seona Reid Building formally open and parts of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's art school (along with a great deal of student work) devastated in a fire, MacMag39 is a celebration of the spirit of a school which is faced with a challenging question: how do they introduce and then reconcile the new alongside the existing against the backdrop of an academically rich, diverse and successful learning environment?
PlanGrid Launches Educational Offering

According to the company, they currently have "40,000 blueprints being uploaded to PlanGrid daily and over 9 million blueprints stored digitally", making the platform one of the fastest growing in its market.
Heatherwick Studio To Build "Learning Hub" in Singapore
London based Heatherwick Studio have won a competition to design a Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The construction of the Hub, part of a £360 million scheme, will be the first redevelopment of its campus in twenty years. Having already won the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award for Sustainability from the Singaporean Government, the design seeks to redefine the aspiration of a university building. Within this new context the purpose of the university is to "foster togetherness and sociability" so that students can meet and learn in a space that encourages collaboration.
How Will Architecture Respond to a "Boom" in UK University Spending?
With the recent news that Dutch practice Mecanoo, along with Penoyre & Prasad, have been selected for a £200 million new engineering campus at the University of Manchester, Amanda Baillieu of BDOnline argues that they "need to set their ambitions a whole lot higher." Alongside's Manchester's announcement, universities in Sheffield, Newcastle and Oxford also recently announced a big investment in their campuses. The trick, Baillieu suggests, will be in ensuring the architecture is not "safe and office-like" (which fits universities' "business-like" mindset). As we enter a "golden age" in university capital investment, educational architecture will be playing a central role. Read the article in full here.
Mental Health in Architecture School: Can the Culture Change?
The Graduate Architecture, Landscape, and Design Student Union (GALDSU) at the University of Toronto recently published the results of its first mental health survey, which asked students to reflect on their experience at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. Many past and present students have met the findings, which paint a blatantly bleak picture of the architecture student experience, with little to no surprise. The report brings the issue of poor mental and physical health in architecture schools to the forefront of our consciousness; however, the cool response it has elicited undercuts the initiative and raises important questions. If we were already aware of the problem, why hasn't change already been initiated? Will this always be the accepted, brutal reality of architecture education?
Strelka Unsettled: A New Future for Moscow's Most Neglected Architecture?
The Strelka Institute, Moscow's most innovative school for architecture and urbanism, "might be soon forced to leave its current venue in the heart of the Russian capital" due to proposed redevelopment of the area. Faced by the threat of this possibility, the school formed a competition in order to collect ideas for the relocation. The winning proposal, developed by Squadra Komanda, proposes a "visionary program of development for the disputed and immense architectural legacy from the late-Soviet period."
Late Soviet architecture constitutes "almost two third of all buildings in Moscow." As it represents "an unpleasant reminder of the recent past," many Russians dislike this kind of building. As a result, the Strelka Unsettled, with the possibility for collaboration with the outdated cultural institutions hosted inside the building of the All Russian State Library for Foreign Literature (built in 1966), seeks to offer new scenarios for this "neglected kind of architecture."
Why Africa's Cities Need African Planning
In this article, originally posted on Future Cape Town as "Designing African Cities: Urban Planning Education in Nigeria", Professors Vanessa Watson and Babatunde Agbola discuss a paradigm shift occurring in Nigerian Planning Schools: from the American and European planning theories that have so far been applied in Nigeria to new theories more suited to dealing with the unique challenges presented by African cities.
In June 2011, the Governor of Osun State inaugurated a 10 man Committee for the state Urban Renewal Programme. The Committee of which I was the Chairman was to prepare an Urban Renewal Master Plan for each of the 9 selected cities in the state. At the inauguration, the Governor emphasized and re-emphasized that the type of plans he anticipated for each of these cities are not the types and models of New York, Washington, London or any other Euro-American cities. The plans were to reflect African cities' realities and thus have relevance for the lives of the residents of these cities.
These observations of the Governor point to the widespread belief of Nigerians that there is an observable disconnect between what the planners learn and know and what they put into practice for the general welfare and liveability of the populace. Admittedly, theory feeds and inform practice but when theories of other climes are transplanted for practice in another, the result cannot but be disastrous. Such is the effect of received contemporary planning education and knowledge on the morphology of Nigerian towns and cities.

Lines Drawn: UK Architecture Students Network Discuss the Future of Architectural Education
Lines Drawn, the latest gathering of student delegates by the Architecture Students Network (ASN), recently met at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) to discuss the future of architectural education. Seventy RIBA Part 1, 2 and 3 students (including those on their placement years) from across twenty two schools of architecture gathered together to address and unify their voice in calling for improvements to the current pedagogy of UK's architectural education to reflect a changing society.
The weekend conference provoked questions surrounding the merits and pitfalls of the Part 1, 2 and 3 British route to qualification, raising aspirations of a more flexible education system. Sparked by the latest directive from the European Union (EU), which seeks to "establish more uniformity across Europe by aligning the time it takes to qualify" and by making mutual recognition of the architect's title easier between countries, the discussions centred around how architecture students' opinions can be harnessed at this critical moment of change to have voices heard.

Inter National Design Win Competition with Modular School Complex
Inter National Design (IND), based in Rotterdam and Istanbul, have won first prize in a restricted competition to design a large school complex in Viranşehir, Turkey. Five rectangular courtyards, together with five dynamic public strips, combine to envelop the collection of buildings with a variety of both neutral and dynamic voidal spaces. A degree of permeability with the city is designed into the scheme with the "two types of open spaces following a gradient using the buildings as filters from the hermetic façade of the courtyards to the permeable skins of the outer façade". Hills, pyramid stairs and areas of wild nature tie the atmosphere of the scheme into a unit within a "homogenous industrial roof profile and a modular structure".

"Cloud" – Now there's a topic that I had multiple conversations with Microsoft partners about at Worldwide Partner Conference, as well as one that was covered in many presentations, communications, sessions, updates, etc. both at Worldwide Partner Conference but also since then. One thing that I have heard or seen several times, and why I am putting up this post, is a perception that at Microsoft, "cloud" = BPOS and BPOS = "cloud." Now don't get me wrong, BPOS (Business Productivity Online Services) is a component of Microsoft cloud computing / Microsoft cloud services; however, it is not the holistic, all encompassing definition of Microsoft cloud computing / Microsoft cloud services, it is merely one offering available.
Let's take a look in a little more depth at what Microsoft Cloud Computing / Microsoft Cloud Services is and offers…
First, let's be clear on the timeline. I've heard some statements along the line of "Microsoft is new to offering cloud services." I guess it depends on how you define "new." Compared to how long the automobile has been on the road, sure 15 years could be considered "new," but in terms of "new" as in "just getting into it," then no, and I think this is something people forget. Here's a quick look over time at Microsoft involvement in cloud services/offerings (including before "cloud computing" was being used as a term).
- Click image for full size
The journey leading up to where we are today has been taking place for 15 years now, starting way back with Windows Live and Hotmail. Since then, the services and offerings served up online through cloud from Microsoft have continued and expanded. Today, there are a number of cloud based solutions available, enabling individuals and businesses around the world to do so much. Here's a look at some of these, with links to more information about each and trials of these for you:
Hopefully in the information above, you can see that when it comes to Microsoft cloud computing and Microsoft cloud services, BPOS is just one aspect and offering available, but it goes far beyond just that. Whether you are a business or a partner, the opportunity that cloud computing/cloud services and Microsoft brings to you are very exciting and continue to expand each and every day. Please be sure to utilize the resources above to either begin or continue your journey into what Microsoft and cloud/online services can bring to light for you. Also, if you are a business looking to learn more about what Microsoft's online/cloud solutions can do for your business, be sure to talk with a Microsoft partner near you to learn more.
Thank you and have a wonderful day,

I agree - Microsoft has a very robust set of cloud offerings (there are some in this list that I wasn't even familiar with.) It's interesting, though, that there still seems to be a perception (I hear it from our clients and our students) that Microsoft is trailing in this area rather than leading. Smaller vendors or Google always seem to be the first companies people think of when talking about the "cloud." While larger players, like Microsoft or SAP are being called late to the game, despite a robust set of offerings.
Awesome article ... A lot of things have been made clear in my mind now .. !

PCs have made a slow but steady recovery after more than two years of decline. Global PC shipments totaled 83.7 million units in Q4'14, a 1% increase from Q4'13. 1
Displacement of PCs by tablets peaked in 2013 and in the first half of 2014. However, tablets have now saturated key markets so consumer spending is slowly shifting back to PCs. The most popular products are mobile PCs, including regular, thin and light notebooks and 2-in-1 computers, or laptops with detachable screens. 1
While its overall growth rate slightly declined in PC shipments, HP was able to post single-digit growth to maintain the No. 2 position worldwide. HP was the No. 1 vendor in EMEA and the US. While HP announced its intention to split into two companies, the impact to the PC business operation should not be significant.1
Growth of PCs in the quarter has shown regional variation, with mature regions recording positive growth and emerging markets remaining weak. The US showed the highest growth in Q4'14. PC shipments in the US reached 18.1 million units in Q4'14, a 13.1% year-over-year increase and the highest growth seen in the US market in the last four years. HP showed the strongest year-over-year growth in shipments at 26.2% in Q4'14, and it accounted for 29.2% of all shipments in the US for the quarter. 1
There were 26.5 million PCs shipped in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in Q4'14, a 2.8% year-over-year increase. PC growth in EMEA was driven by the holiday season in Western Europe with high sales of consumer notebooks. The low prices of these devices ensured that consumer spending shifted to notebooks and two-in-ones from tablets, but had a negative impact on average selling prices (ASPs) and vendor margins.1
The Asia-Pacific PC market also showed recovery, where PC shipments reached 26.6 million units in Q4'14. This is a 2% year-over-year increase for the quarter. The PC user base in Asia-Pacific is stabilizing and replacement demand is recovering in the mature markets. However, consumers in emerging markets, such as China and India, continue to be attracted to smartphones. They are more focused on content consumption or on specific tasks that can be easily performed by a smartphone. Coupled with limited disposable income, these buyers do not see the need to invest in PCs.1
Global tablet shipments in 2014 recorded 4.4% growth, from 207 million units in 2013 to 216 million units in 2014.1, 2 This is in sharp contrast to the previous year, when tablet shipments grew by 53.4%, from 120 million units in 2012 to 207 million units in 2013.2, 3 The steep decline can be explained by a long refresh cycle. Lack of innovation in tablet hardware has led to consumers holding on to their tablets and spending money on phone upgrades.1
The tablet market is still very top heavy in the sense that it relies mostly on Apple and Samsung to carry the market forward each year. Although Apple expanded its iPad lineup by retaining older models and offering a lower entry price point of US$249, it still wasn't enough to spur iPad sales. Meanwhile, Samsung's struggles continue as low-cost vendors are undercutting mid-to-high-priced Android tablets with tablets that cost less but do not compromise on features.4
IBM posted Q4'14 revenue of US$24.1bn against US$22.4bn in Q3'14 and US$27.7bn in Q4'13. This equates to quarter-over-quarter growth of 7.7%, but a year-over-year decline of 12.9%. The decline can be attributed to divestment of System X and Customer Care units, which generated revenues of US$1.6bn in Q4'13. In addition, currency movements trimmed Q4'14 revenue by approximately US$1.2bn. Net income was US$5.5bn in Q4'14 against US$0.02bn in Q3'14. In Q3'14, the company realized US$3.5bn net income from continuing operations. However, during the same quarter, it recognized a US$3.4bn loss from discontinued operations. The loss includes an impairment to reflect fair value less estimated costs to sell the Microelectronics business assets, which it had classified as held for sale in Q3'14. The loss also included other estimated costs related to the transaction, including cash consideration of approximately US$1.5bn. The cash consideration is expected to be paid over the next three years and will be adjusted by working capital due to IBM, estimated to be US$0.2bn. In addition, discontinued operations in Q3'14 included operational net losses from the Microelectronics business of US$0.1bn.
Xerox Corp posted revenue of US$5.0bn in Q4'14 against US$5.1bn in Q3'14 and US$5.6bn in Q4'13. This results in a quarter-over-quarter decline of 1.7% and a year-over-year decline of 9.6%. The decline is attributed to exchange rate fluctuations. Net income of US$156.0mn in Q4'14 declined 41.4% quarter over quarter against US$266mn in Q3'14 and down 49% year over year decline against US$306mn in Q4'13. The decline in net income was due to a US$149mn loss incurred by Xerox's ITO business. The ITO business is now considered a discontinued operation.
Lenovo posted revenue of US$14.1bn in Q4'14 and 34.5% quarter-over-quarter growth against US$10.5bn in Q3'14 and 30.6% year-over-year growth against US$10.8bn inQ4'13. This jump in revenue is due to the addition of Motorola Mobility from Google and System X business unit from IBM. The cost of sales increased at a much lower rate, leading to almost a 90bps increase in margins. However, the margin benefit was not realized in net income due to US$708mn operating expenses incurred from the acquisitions. Overall, net income of US$256.8mn declined 2% quarter over quarter in Q4'14 against US$262.0mn in Q3'14 and a 3.1% year-over-year decline against US$265.0mn in Q4'13.

Owen O'Donnell
Chairman of the audit committee
The committee comprises the following non-executive directors (all of whom are independent):
|Date first appointed
|Owen O'Donnell
|Sept 2008
|Tim Scoble
|Oct 2013
|Ian Burke
|June 2014
Until 18 March 2014 the board had an audit committee comprised of three independent non-executive directors. However, upon the resignation of the former audit committee chairman on 18 March 2014, the audit committee membership reduced to two independent non-executive directors, chaired by Owen O'Donnell. Pending recruitment of a new non-executive director to serve on the audit committee, the Company's chairman has joined the committee on a temporary basis so that there are three committee members.
A rolling agenda and topical items determine the committee's discussions.
The board is satisfied that the committee has recent and relevant financial experience.
At the invitation of the audit committee chairman, the chief executive, finance director, company secretary, director of group financial control and director of internal audit normally attend committee meetings, as does the external auditor. Other directors are encouraged to attend at least one committee meeting a year at which the external auditor is present.
The internal and external auditors also meet the committee without executive directors and other employees being present.
The audit committee assists the board in reviewing and maintaining internal controls, the management of risk and our compliance with the law and regulation.
It monitors and reviews the effectiveness of the Group's internal audit function.
It also assesses the integrity of all public financial statements before their submission to the board, ensuring we present a fair assessment of the Group's ongoing position and prospects.
Any changes in accounting policies are authorised by the committee, which also reviews the objectivity and effectiveness of our external auditors every year.
The committee oversees the Company's internal code of conduct and monitors our whistle-blowing procedures, through which employees may, in confidence, raise concerns about possible improprieties in areas of financial reporting, financial control and other ethical matters.
The committee is regularly updated on accounting and legislative changes through briefing papers from the auditor, finance director and others.
In addition to a private meeting between the audit committee chair and the external audit partner, the committee met with the auditor following each audit committee meeting in a closed session without executive directors to assess the objectivity and accuracy of financial reporting and to hear any other observations that the auditor had to make.
The committee met formally three times in the year.
At its meetings in the year to 30 June 2014, the audit committee examined the effectiveness of the Group's approach to:
Part of the effectiveness of the external audit process was assessed by the use of a questionnaire, which posed questions in relation to different aspects of the external audit process. Those individuals employed by Rank most actively involved with the day-to-day aspects of the audit provided responses to certain questions asked of them. The responses were provided to audit committee members for discussion amongst themselves. Additionally, the audit committee considered the Financial Reporting Council's audit quality review findings of Ernst & Young LLP's group and subsidiary audit of Rank in respect of the 18-month period ended 30 June 2012 as outlined in its letter of 25 November 2013 to Ernst & Young LLP.Back to top

Exports hit 3-year high in February
Outbound PH shipments rose by 24.4% to $4.7B
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Philippine exports rose to a three-year peak in February due to the heavy volume of electronics and other commodities shipped out, according to official data released on Thursday.
The growth in exports for the month reflected higher demand for the country's products overseas, fueled by improved economic conditions of major trading partners such as China, Japan and the United States.
"Compared to the manufacture-driven growth in January 2014, the export performance in February 2014 was more broad-based, as all major commodity groups registered gains," said Emmanuel Esguerra, deputy director general of the National Economic Development Authority (Neda).
Merchandise exports, measured by their dollar value, expanded by 24.4 percent last February to $4.7 billion from $3.7 billion in the same month last year. The growth in February was also better than the 9.3-percent expansion recorded in January.
"Most of the selected economies in the East and Southeast Asian region posted positive export growth rates in February 2014, led by Vietnam and the Philippines," Esguerra said.
Japan remains the top destination of Philippine goods in February, with shipments totaling $1.2 billion. It accounted for about 25.4 percent of the country's total revenues from merchandise exports.
The People's Republic of China followed with a 14.7-percent share after the country's outbound shipments of electronic data processing (EDP) machines, semiconductors and chemicals grew by a hefty 79.3 percent in February.
Other top markets for Philippine exports were the United States (13.4% percent), Hong Kong (7 percent), Singapore (6.7 percent) and South Korea (4.5 percent).
Export earnings from manufactures grew year on year by 22.4 percent that same month to $3.9 billion from last year's $3.2 billion, data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed.
This was due to significant revenues from electronic products, wood manufactures, chemicals, electronic equipment and parts, processed food beverages, furniture and fixtures, non-metallic mineral manufactures, travel goods and handbags, baby carriage and toys, iron and steel, textile yarns and fabrics, and footwear.
Mineral products registered export earnings worth $237.3 million last February—139.9 percent up year on year due to higher revenues from copper concentrates, gold and chromium ore.
The two-month contraction in exports of agriculture-based products also ended, the PSA said. About $408 million worth of agricultural products were shipped during the month—up 18.7 percent year on year.

Yeah, I install games as I get them and if I'm not planning on playing a game again I'll uninstall it when I finish/get tired of the game. The saddest games are the ones that I install, never play and then uninstall when I get a better game that I feel like playing more and don't have enough disk space.
Currently I have about 25/200 games installed.

I have about half installed. I have been uninstalling things recently because games take up space D:
I suppose if i had enough space everything would be installed but at the same time i still have enough space for many more games so i really don't know. I tend to keep some games just in case or because i like some of them enough and think that i might want to replay them one day. Like Deus Ex Human Revolution, i finished it only once when it came out but never uninstalled it because i keep thinking one day i'll want to play it again.
I guess the real answer is that i'm completely inconsistent about it because now that i think about it there are definitely games i don't have installed that have way more chance of being played again then some already installed. I sorta stopped caring about it when my ISP started offering unlimited data plans.

My current tendency has been to uninstall them, as I like a nice clean hard drive and desktop. However, I just had a data cap instituted on my Internet, so I'm thinking I won't actually uninstall things anymore.

I only uninstall if I HAVE to. Which hasn't happened since I had my last computer. The one I've had currently for a few years, I have about 130+ games on Steam/disc/bought from other sites and still have plenty of room. I'd only uninstall a game if I really didn't like it and buying it was a bad choice.

My desktop has a two TB secondary drive. So right now I just leave the games as I install them since I have a ways to go before its filled. Also have seasons 6 to 20 of Top Gear UK on there too, along with 8 seasons of Mythbusters.....
Well shit. My 1TB HDD I use for games just went bad (or so windows says). All while trying to download my entire library on it. Got to about 140 and a Hard Disk failure warning came up. So now I'm down to two 129GB SSD's which should be good enough to just have this or that installed.
I own 458 games on Steam and currently have 9 installed, with a couple of them are about ready to be uninstalled. It has nothing to do with space for me (I have 358GB free of 465GB); I find that having only a limited number of games installed helps me focus on what games to play and finish, versus having everything there and getting overwhelmed.
Out of those there are only 2 games that I've had installed for longer then a month or so - Team Fortress 2 (which I've played for ~3 hours every month for the past few years) and Dota 2 (which I've played about 4-5 hours of every month for the past few months and much more before that).

Back when I only had a couple hundred, yeah, I had a separate 1TB drive with them (mostly) all installed. I'm up to 615 games now, which is obviously way more than can fit on a hard drive, so I just install games when I want to play them.
I try to transfer the games I'm not playing to my HDD. I only keep a few on my SSD because of space concerns -- 240GB just isn't enough to keep a maintain a sizeable library -- nothing worse than coming home after a Dota 2 update to find your drive has 0 bytes of free space! I have a couple of 3TB drives though so I don't uninstall games when I'm done.
I have 264 of my 758 games on Steam installed. I use a 2TB HD for my Steam Drive, I also have about 75 GOG installed as well.

I have only the ones I am currently playing and the ones I plan to play in the near future installed.
I used to download everything. Then I noticed I had pretty much no space left on my hard drive. Now I only have about 15-ish games downloaded (five games I could play any time, the current game I'm playing, and the rest games that I'm part ways through, but I keep them installed because some day I may go back and finish them).
I only have 125 installed at the moment (out of >600). It's basically stuff I've played but I'm not finished with or am planning to play soon. Or just games that I like having installed if I want to jump in for a quick session (binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy etc.)

I end up installing games and pretty much leaving them there until I notice how much space they are taking up on my hard drive.
I'm one of those horrible people that will buy a lot of games during sales (or in Humble Bundles) that I never actually end up installing. But for the most part the things I have installed are the things I'm either playing or will theoretically come back to in the foreseeable future.

After a pulsating match that saw the Peoples Elephants come from behind twice against a Warri Wolves that was attempting to lift the cup for the first time, the team from Aba lifted the cup via penalty kicks.
After scores were tied at 2 a piece, the match officials decided to call for penalty kicks against the traditional extra time. While Enyimba scored all their five kicks, goalkeeper Femi Thomas spoiled the fun for Super Eagles defender Azubuike Egwueke by stopping his kick to leave scores at 7-6.

Lagos Dealing With Population Surge
By Prince Dickson
By 2030, 60 percent of the world's population will live in cities (Port Harcourt, Abuja, Lagos and most of the state capitals). That could mean great things for economic growth, but that is if these cities handle their expansion wisely.
Leaders in developing nations must cope with urbanization on an unprecedented scale, stretched budgets and aging infrastructure are just a few constraints that they wrestle against.

I struggled with the aftermath of my wasted day and finally realized that I am an adult indentured to my existence on earth.
I had now joined the long stream of unemployed Nigerian Youths looking for a job, whilst silently cursing their parents for not being filthy (I stole government money) rich.
I had just spent the whole day, sitting at the reception lounge of a company, cap in hand, resume in my bag and an overstretched patient look on my face- and at the end of it, came out with nothing.

This is not to say that Lagos or Nigeria is not a great place to live in, (you can make lots of money and have so much fun) the people are funny, friendly, industrous and one of the best people to hang out with in the world - don't think about the internet scammers, a minority becoming our collective ulcer.

It is now 2010. I hope it will be a year that fulfills all our dreams. I'm sorry to serve this piece so early in the year when people are thinking about 'serious' things like starting the year on a speedy note, just like Hussein Bolt. I hope my writing will help. I want to talk about two things that should form a serious part of your agenda this year – making good money and having a good relationship. I will write about making good money some other time, I promise. But, for this piece, I will talk about how important a good, loving relationship is.

My second baby is 3.5 months old and EBF since birth. He is a big, hearty boy with a healthy appetite, nursing frequently when we are together. He takes bottles well and have been averaging four 4-ounce bottles per day at daycare. Over the past week, his teacher says he finishes the 4 ounces and is frantic for more even after burping or being offered a pacifier. She says he also is showing signs at 1.5 hours after a feeding (my instructions were to feed every 2-3 hours). I generally nurse him before leaving the house in the morning, immediately when we get home at night, at least once more before bedtime, and once or twice throughout the night. I am away from him for 10 hours a day and during three sessions at work am able to pump around 12 ounces. I've been dipping into my freezer stash to make up the shortfall each day, but I know this is not a good long-term solution since I really don't have much saved. I bought MotherLove More Milk Plus (the tincture - that stuff is terrible!) and have been taking it for nearly a week with no noticeable increase.
I know formula is *OKAY* to give him, but I'd really prefer to EBF as long as possible for his health, mine (12 more pounds to lose - haha), convenience for nights/weekends, and cost reasons.
That being said, I am tired... as a full-time working mother of two small children (my oldest just turned 2) plus a 7 year old stepson every other weekend and a husband that frequently travels for work, I just can't bring myself to get up and pump in the middle of the night when I know I would likely get a respectable amount. So, what do I do? Any other suggestions? I already pump 3 times a day at work and don't really feel comfortable adding in another session. I go to bed within 2 hours of getting the baby down at night, so I doubt a before-bed pump would yield much.

Fulguration, also called electrofulguration, is a procedure to destroy and remove tissue (such as a malignant tumor) using a high-frequency electric current applied with a needlelike electrode.
Fulguration, also called electrofulguration, is a procedure in which lesions are destroyed by the use of high frequency current and is essentially similar to cauterization. Fulgration is used to ablate tumors and other lesions such as hemangiomas and warts. It is either performed in an operation theater by a surgeon or an out-patient basis by a surgeon or dermatologist.

No. 12 Wisconsin beats North Dakota 103-85
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Frank Kaminsky was open, and the big man was going to take the shot. There was nothing that teammate Traevon Jackson could say to change his mind.
Kaminsky hit that first-half bucket en route to a school-record 43 points, powering No. 12 Wisconsin to a 103-85 win Tuesday night over pesky North Dakota.
"I said one more (pass), one more," Jackson said when asked to recount the moment he knew Kaminsky was going to have a big night. "He said, 'No, feelin' it.' That's exactly what he said."
Sam Dekker added 19 points for the Badgers (4-0), who overcame a career-high 37 points — 26 in the first half — from athletic sharpshooter Troy Huff.
But this night belonged to Kaminsky, the unlikely Badger who broke the school record of 42 points held by Ken Barnes (1965) and Michael Finley (1994).
"When those first couple of shots went in, I kind of said 'I'm feeling it,'" Kaminsky said. "I kept shooting and it kept going in."
Wisconsin shot 59 percent from the field, with Kaminsky (16-of-19 shooting) leading the way. He hit all six of his 3-point attempts and went 5 of 6 from the foul line.
A junior who became a starter this season, Kaminsky got the record with about a minute left after driving the lane and splitting two defenders for an easy layup.
Kaminsky went to the bench with about 5 minutes left with 41 points, prompting groans from the Wisconsin student section. "We want Frank! We Want Frank!" the students chanted before a timeout with 3 minutes left.
"I had no idea until the players on the bench pleaded to give him one more possession," coach Bo Ryan said.
The fans got their wish.
Kaminsky got a standing ovation from the appreciative crowd after setting the record, and some good-natured heckling after the game from teammates Dekker and Jackson (14 points, eight assists).
Sure Kaminsky had 16 points last week in a win over Green Bay, but few saw this outburst coming, not from someone averaging 3.2 points for his career coming into Tuesday.
"The last two games what I've seen, he's really come of age and they've really shown a lot of confidence in him," North Dakota coach Brian Jones said. "The way they shoot the ball already and spread the floor with the other four guys, it makes them that much harder to guard."
Kaminsky's dunk helped Wisconsin gradually turn its 10-point halftime lead into a 76-59 advantage on North Dakota (1-1) with 10:32 left.
The Badgers came out victorious after Kaminsky and Huff traded buckets much of the night. Huff was 15 of 22 from the field, and added nine rebounds.
A week after limiting Florida to 53 points, Wisconsin went up and down the Kohl Center court with a team picked by Big Sky coaches to finish second in the conference. Wisconsin went over the 100-point mark first the first time since a 105-70 win over Eastern Illinois on Dec. 28, 1995.

As the mom of a climber - I'd encourage you to teach the babe to safely get off the couch - and make this the focus of all couch-related activities until he gets it. I spent a lot of time saying "On your tummy, legs first!" and helping DS get on his tummy, hang his legs off the edge and scoot down. Afterall, if babe can get on the couch he needs to be able to get off the couch!

BODY language has been given a twist by three Russian inventors who have filed a European patent (766 218) on a method for simulating sight for the blind.
The technique uses a computer to convert text into pulses received by five vibrating pads fastened to the body. The letter A is represented by a buzz from a single pad, while B is a buzz from two points.
Fewer vibrating pads could be used if they switch between different frequencies, such as 20 Hz, 50 Hz and 120 Hz, as well as switching on and off. Alternatively, the patent suggests, the pads could switch between hot and cold.
The inventors say the system has been tried in a factory, with sensors on a blind worker's wrist. In three days the man learnt how to monitor and adjust the pressure on a steam generator, responding to pulses generated by the machine's pressure ...

|Terry Francona begins with Indians
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 08 October 2012 06:08
Francona was hired over the weekend by the Indians, signing a four-year contract. The 53-year-old was chosen over Sandy Alomar Jr., who served as the club's final six games after Manny Acta was fired. Francona takes overs an Indians team that went 68-94, the third time in the past four seasons they have lost at least 90 games.
Francona led Boston to two World Series titles and five straight playoff appearances. He was not brought back by the Red Sox following the team's historic September collapse in 2011.
He previously worked in Cleveland's front office, and Francona said the chance to work again with close friends was the most intriguing aspect of managing the Indians.

Governor signs pair of right-to-work laws amid fierce debate
Snyder said he expects the law to be challenged in court but believes it will stand. He said unions were largely responsible for its divisiveness, having ignored his advice and pushed an unsuccessful November ballot initiative seeking to make right-to-work laws unconstitutional. The bitter campaign over the ballot measure put the issue on center-stage.
"Introducing freedom-to-work in Michigan will contribute to our state's economic comeback while preserving the roles of unions and collective bargaining," Snyder said.
Protesters against the legislation began assembling before daylight outside the sandstone-and-brick Capitol, chanting and whistling in the chilly darkness and waving placards with slogans such as "Stop the War on Workers." Others joined a three-block march to the building, some wearing coveralls and hard hats.
Valerie Constance, a reading instructor for the Wayne County Community College District and member of the American Federation of Teachers, sat on the Capitol steps with a sign shaped like a tombstone. It read: "Here lies democracy."
"I do think this is a very sad day in Michigan history," Constance said.
The crowds filled the rotunda area, beating drums and chanting. The chorus rose to a deafening thunder as House members voted. Later, protesters surged toward a building across the street housing Snyder's office. Two people were arrested when they tried to get inside, state police said.
By late afternoon, the demonstrators had mostly dispersed.
The governor insisted the matter wasn't handled with undue haste, calling the debate in the House and Senate a "healthy discussion."
Michigan gives the right-to-work movement its strongest foothold yet in the Rust Belt, where the 2010 election and tea party movement produced assertive Republican majorities that have dealt unions repeated setbacks.
Opponents said they would press Snyder to use his line-item veto authority to remove a $1 million appropriation from the bills, making them eligible for a statewide referendum. But the House swiftly rejected a Democratic amendment to that effect.
Lawmakers who backed the bills "will be held accountable at the ballot box in 2014," said state Rep. Tim Greimel, the incoming House Democratic leader.
But Sen. John Proos, a Republican from St. Joseph who voted for both bills, predicted that objections would fade as the shift in policy brings more jobs to Michigan.
"As they say in sports," he said, "the atmosphere in the locker room gets a lot better when the team's winning."
Although Republicans control the state Capitol, Snyder, a former businessman who had not held public office before his election in 2010, had regularly sidestepped the most divisive issues — including right-to-work legislation — with talk of "relentless positive action."
This chapter came as a surprise to many here and seemed to open a new, wide gulf. Some lawmakers grew tearful, choked with emotion, as they argued over the matter on the House floor. Outside, exchanges between people turned tense, leaving some screaming curses at one another and jabbing fingers into the air.
By evening, two large canopies — that had belonged to supporters on opposite sides of the debate — lay crumpled on the Capitol lawn, the police said, and at least two people were arrested, said to have tried to press past one of the large clusters of state troopers that stood guard at the door to the George W. Romney building, which houses the governor's office. And at least one police officer had used a substance similar to pepper spray during the protests.
