Little information is available on the optimal management of toxic shock syndrome and on its sequelae. The most appropriate antibiotic treatment, the efficacy of colloid infusions, and the potential role of gamma globulin preparations have not yet been completely ascertained. Coagulase-positive staphylococci associated with toxic shock syndrome had minimal inhibitory concentrations of 0.06 µg/mL or less to rifampin, 0.25 µg/mL or less to gentamicin, and 0.50 µg/mL or less to both nafcillin and clindamycin. In the 36 patients studied abnormal chest roentgenograms were commoner in those who had received albumin than in those who had not. Radioimmunoassay showed antibody titers to staphylococcal enterotoxin F, a marker protein in toxic shock syndrome, of 1:4000 or more for intravenous gamma globulin (12/15 lots) and 1:40 000 or more for intramuscular gamma globulin. Major sequelae of toxic shock syndrome include late-onset rash, compromised renal function, cyanotic extremities, and prolonged neuromuscular abnormalities.

Uh...color looks bland...very bland...like even for a small cubical office job.
And I'd say get rid of that border for the side menu and extend that lightish grey all the way to the bottom border and make that color your side bar...kind of like how Microsoft did their other websites that were part of windows, but not the Windows product itself (like update.microsoft.com).
2. Laughter at the bare minimum is pronounciation from the vocal cords like any other noise you can produce. It is associated with the expression of happiness or reaction to being tickled as that is a common human response to such items.
3. In a world of red, blue is not defined and does not exist. In other terms, it means nothing...it's just an arrangement of letters. It is possible for blue to be assigned another meaning such as feeling the "blues" in which case the core word "blue" means depressed.
4. Aside from the obvious Chuck Norris meme, I have not an answer for this one. I'll take LM's answer of a river
5. One. Fire is a chemical reaction and thus will not take away from the original chemical reaction of the torch as it spreads to the million candles.
6. The letters that have 2 perpendicular lines of symmetry required for all conditions:H, I, O, S, X, ZThe only ones I can construct is "SOS", and "I"
7. You do not have enough force and matter to produce a sound that is audible. Furthermore, there is no density for sound to travel through solid objects in your body such as bones.
8. The concept of stereo vision. It's brain can process two independent images and determin the location and distance of an object within it's eyesight range.
9. A word that contains an infinite amount of letters (Division by Zero error must be created).
10. Yes.

And I hope circumstances let him be a metaphysical again someday soon.
It hinges on the assumption that the Vatican or its metaphysical emanation, the Holy See, is a state.
The green line has no metaphysical status; Israel has legally defined borders only insofar as we make hard distinctions.
early 15c., "pertaining to metaphysics," from methaphesik (late 14c.) + -al, and in part from Medieval Latin metaphysicalis, from Medieval Latin metaphysica (see metaphysics). It came to be used in the sense of "abstract, speculative" (e.g. by Johnson, who applied it to certain 17c. poets, notably Donne and Cowley, who used "witty conceits" and abstruse imagery). Related: Metaphysically.


text: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in large mixing bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets. (I formed my cookies into circles, for uniform sizing, and placed them on a baking pan that had been sprayed with cooking oil spray.) Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Transfer cookies to a nice serving plate when they have cooled. This amount of dough will make about 5 dozen cookies; however, I only made one pan of 12 cookies and saved the rest of the dough for a super cool cookie treat that you will see in the next video! Yummy! And Yummier!!!

[Identification of item], Bank of Kentucky Ledger, 1807-1810, 98SC255,Library Special Collections and Archives, Kentucky Historical Society, Frankfort.
1 v.; 34 cm.
The Bank of Kentucky was chartered in 1806 by the state legislature as part of a compromise that ended the controversy over private banking. It was modeled on the Bank of the United States and was governed by a president and a twelve-member board of directors. Robert Alexander of Versailles was elected president in 1807 and served for fourteen years during which the bank was sound, profitable, and conservatively administered. The bank's charter was repealed in 1822 by a hard-money legislature after the newly chartered Bank of the Commonwealth flooded the state with its own currency, thus provoking runaway inflation and a collapse in property values.
This one item collection is a Bank of Kentucky ledger dated 1807-1810. The ledger includes information about stocks in the bank vault and notes offered for discount.

This recipe, from chili scholar John Thorne, was published in a slightly different format in the Winter, 1989 issue of The Whole Chile Pepper magazine, in the Special Chili con Carne Issue that I edited. John commented: "On the Texas range, firewood meant mesquite. Not only did the trail cook use it for his open pit cooking, but the ranch cook used it to fire his wood stove. Until it was replaced with gas and electric, mesquite-flavored grilling dominated rural Texas cooking with its distinctive sweet savor. The meat for this chili is seared over charcoal where mesquite chips have been set to flame (the taste of mesquite charcoal is indistinguishable from that of any other hardwood), which gives the resulting chili a haunting hint of smoke--and without tasting a bit like barbecue, since there is no onion or tomato in it, none at all."

Customer Reviews of Kingston DataTraveler 108 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive
Should've bought more!12/21/2013
I bought two for my wife and daughter each last April. They love it and they are still using it!
This thing is perfect. It is a great size easy to carry around and use.
It depends on USB port. Make a note.7/24/2012
This USB drive is small and portable. It is a good device to carry in your pocket, or attach it to your key chain. So, it is a good backup device for emergency. There are two warnings however. (1). The drive is small and it requires you to flip the cover to open it. You need to be careful to open and close the cover. Otherwise, the cover can be broken easily. (2). This drive is not like the other USB drive in term of power dependency. This drive may not work on some USB ports. (I had to do some research and finally found this answer in Kingston's web site). For some computers, the front USB port is not powerful enough for this USB drive. So, you need to use the port in the rear of the computer for this USB drive. Or you can use an extension cord to attach to the rear of tUSB he computer. (You can't tell whether the front port would work, until you actually attach this drive to it.
Stopped working after first couple of uses.7/19/2012
It only worked for a couple of times. After that it stopped working. It does not even show up in MacbookPro and also not in my Windows 7 laptop. Waste of money.
This is a wonderful little USP drive. I like that it is small, so it is easier to carry around. It is very easy to put and take stuff on and of the drive. The one thing I would change, is the USP drive's plastic covering. I think that it was a wonderful price.
Worked as expected5/25/2012
Had no problems with using the flash drive. Just plugged it in and could copy the files easily. At first, I noticed that the available capacity is slightly more than 14 GB even though the drive capacity is marked as 16GB. Later I realized that the preloaded urDrive software consumed a little more than 1GB space. But I could not copy more than 9 GB. Not sure if the number of files that can be copied is limited.
5.0 out of 5 stars It's good. It works. It's cool.5/16/2012
This review is just to say that this model of USB drive, along with its different-colored and sized brothers, is NOT hard to open. At all. There is a small thumb-nail notch at the opening end (on the very end of the black part). Just look more closely: you'll see it. Open it right up: it's perfectly easy!
Perfect size5/16/2012
I think Kingston knocked it out of the park with this one. Its not heavy at all but sturdy, thin, very fast (14 Mb/s) and has the protective cover. The ring could be a little bigger. love it and would surely reccomend you to buy the product and enjoy it for less price
Works like a dream, no complaints at all. Just need to find a good carry case for it.
great :)5/5/2012
small with lots of capacity
I have no doubt about the quality, it being Kingston, but delivery is already a day late and still nothing from USPS
Best Valued Flash Drive4/18/2012
Kingston has by far been the most reliable memory manufacturer for decades. I've purchased many of these drives for personal and business purposes with great luck. The best thing about this specific flash drive is the price! Great job Buy.com
I think Kingston knocked it out of the park with this one. Its not heavy at all but sturdy, thin, very fast (14 Mb/s) and has the protective cover. The ring could be a little bigger. love it and would surely reccomend you to buty the product and enjoy it for less price
Very Good3/18/2012
Small size and more capacity... Liked it a lot
Works fine!
The connector is mostly plastic, but protected by a metal piece. Sturdier than expected, and very light.
Compact Flashdrive11/8/2011
Very small and fits will in my key ring. Pre-installed with urDrive software. Installs easily.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Great little guy8/17/2011
I bought this thumb drive to replace a Sandisk Blade thumb drive that was slow (4 Mb/s) and kinda flimsy. I think Kingston knocked it out of the park with this one. Its not heavy at all but sturdy, thin, very fast (14 Mb/s) and has the protective cover. The ring could be a little bigger. The urDrive didnt start right away on Win 7, but i dont really care, I need the space, not the software.
My favorite jump drive7/31/2011
Very nice. Compact but protected by a flip cover. Definitely the best jump drive for a key ring that I have purchased.

1793 C-2, B-2 Half Cent, MS61 Brown1793 1/2 C MS61 Brown PCGS. CAC. C-2, B-2, R.3. Manley Die State 1 as always, with the obverse die rusted and the reverse die perfect. The obverse die was used for C-1 and C-2 and is quickly recognized by the smoothly curved bust line just above the date. This is the most visible diagnostic, although some note the position of the forecurl below the I in LIBERTY. The other obverse has this line sharply bent where it joins the hair and forecurl below the L. The reverse legend is widely spaced, with the final A joined to the right stem end. Each wreath branch has 15 leaves.
From the Richard Picker Collection
From the Richard Picker Collection
Ronald Manley writes in The Half Cents Die State Book that this variety is normally found in low grades, but at least two Mint State pieces exist. Walter Breen recorded five Uncirculated pieces and six AU coins, acknowledging that some of those listings may be duplicates. This specimen is one of the AU pieces in Breen's roster, from the Richard Picker Collection, where it was cataloged as Uncirculated.
For the benefit of those who lack access to the September 1968 Merkin catalog offering this piece, we reprint the description of lot 27:
"1793 Gilbert 3. Forelock below I; fraction bar bent between ribbons; heavily rusted dies. Unc., light brown, plenty of faded mint color. No significant blemishes inflicted after striking. Between Y and hair are two shallow pre-striking flan chips; opposite D and 200 are two edge planchet defects superficially looking like rim dents, though careful examination with a glass shows their true origin. Obv. die rust is as advanced as we have ever seen' rev. die rust is as on some Gilbert 1's [Cohen-3], unpublished die state, hitherto unknown. At present only six are recorded in mint state; which of these is finer is principally a matter of color preference. From a very old noncollector estate; never before auctioned."
Today, we are unable to add more to the description or to clarify any parts thereof. The coin has lovely intermingled light and medium brown, with considerable gold faded from mint red, and patina of pale blue and lilac, especially on the obverse. MRB AU55.
Ex: Richard Picker Collection (Lester Merkin, 9/1968), lot 27; later, The Madison Collection (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 3567, where it realized $126,500.(Registry values: P8) (NGC ID# 2222, PCGS# 1000)

A guide to Newbridge Primary School
'The Time of Our Lives'
Our School
Newbridge Primary School is a Bath and North East Somerset county school with approximately 450 pupils on roll. It stands in extensive grounds on the western outskirts of Bath, between Newbridge Road and Newbridge Hill. The primary school opened in September 2006 as a result of the amalgamation of the Infant and Junior schools which are located no more than fifty metres apart. The Junior school, now known as the upper school, is a two storey building which opened its doors to children for the first time in 1953. The Infant building, completed in 1970, and now known as the lower school, is a series of single storey buildings connected by walkways. The administrative/reception area sits between the two sites, linking the two parts of the school together.
There are school halls in both sides of the school which are used for assemblies, PE and meal times. We boast an impressive school lending library based in the upper school and a number of smaller teaching areas around the site. The external environment is extensive and includes a number of play areas, a field and a large conservation area.
The school is organised into 15 classes with two classes in all year groups, except the current Year 3, which has three. Children in Early Years Foundation Stage, Year 1 and Year 2 are based in classrooms on the lower school site. Children in Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 are based in classrooms in the upper school site. The organisation of teaching staff is: Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, four Phase Leaders (experienced teachers who have management responsibility for the teaching and learning in four phases; Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1, Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2.) The Head, Deputy Head and Phase leaders make up the senior management team.
The teaching staff are ably supported by a team of experienced Teaching Assistants. The running of the school management and finance is overseen by our administration team who are based in the reception/administration area.
Lunchtimes are staffed by a team of SMSAs (School Meals Supervisory Assistants) who organise and care for pupils through the lunch break. The school has a site manager, who oversees the extensive grounds and buildings and all school meals are cooked on site by B&NES catering staff.
Our Values and Vision
We at Newbridge Primary School, the children, parents and carers, staff and governors have a common vision and four core values. These are to Respect, to be Responsible, to Aspire and to Learn.
Together we share a passion for education, which we believe should be liberally sprinkled with plenty of 'wow' and 'eureka' moments. We support our children to aspire to be the best they can be. We help them to be responsible for themselves, while respecting others and the world around them. We encourage them to find value and enjoyment in learning, both now and throughout their lives.
Although unified through our shared vision and values, we also recognise that each part of our school community has its own focus. Members of our children, parents, staff and governors have collaborated to write a statement that best captures each area of focus.
What the Children say: Our school is special because everyone is respected for who they are and are supported as individuals. No-one feels left out; it is like being part of a big family. We also make the most of our good indoor and outdoor space and have lessons inside and out, including Forest School. The list of clubs is endless. They boost our confidence and give us good opportunities to develop our talents. We also have a great variety of exciting school trips, including amazing residentials. Everyone has the chance to achieve the best they can and have fun doing it; we like to go home with a great big smile on our faces. We aim to work for many awards; together we have achieved Gold Sing Up and we are also a Silver Eco School. These opportunities help improve our teamwork and give us the chance to learn new skills. We have caring teachers who reassure us, keep us safe and inspire us with their enthusiasm. Older children look out for the younger children, so everyone enjoys school and has fun. It doesn't matter how old you are, or what you look like, we are all treated equally.
We have brilliant facilities such as: a library, ICT suite, adventure trail, four playgrounds, a spiritual garden, conservation area and a massive field. We love to learn and are always ready to find out something new. Kindness and friendship are never far away. If you're a new pupil at Newbridge, you'll have a warm welcome from all of us and can look forward to having the time of your life with us.
What the Parents and Carers say: As parents and carers of children at Newbridge, we feel part of the school community and see ourselves as partners with the school in the education of our children.
We support our children as individuals and the ethos of the school as a whole. We are welcomed into the school in a variety of roles and through special events. We take the work of the school seriously, supporting it through a commitment to the home-school agreement, and in recognising that our children continue to learn and enjoy wow moments outside of school hours too.
What the Staff say: As members of both the teaching and support staff at Newbridge, we are united in our commitment to providing excellent and fun learning opportunities for our children. We believe in lifelong learning and encourage each other and ourselves to seek new and creative ways of teaching and learning. We promote a rich extra-curricular experience for our children and aim to support our community through the provision of 'wrap-around care with such provision as breakfast and afterschool clubs. We are committed to creating an enjoyable and inclusive environment, in which our children can learn a range of skills from 'life skills' such as resilience, to academic skills such as the 3Rs. We believe in showing that learning can be fun not just in the playgrounds but also in classrooms and through links with home. All staff work alongside the children to model our values and make sure all areas of the school are welcoming places where learning and respect for others are central. The children are at the heart of all we do and their development, both educational and social, is made relevant to them so that they can be excited and challenged and work towards reaching their potential.
What the Governors say: As Governors, we are ultimately responsible for agreeing and overseeing the implementation of our school's vision and policies. We support the school's commitment to creating an enjoyable learning environment that recognises the importance of play as a learning tool. In addition to our statutory duties, we have an integral and strategic role in the school community and spend time getting to understand our school through a variety of ways including regular visits, meetings and analysis of data. We work as objective supporters of the school and use questions and challenges to help identify and celebrate best practice, while always retaining the ultimate goal that all children are provided with the best education and an enjoyable school life that stimulates and inspires them to reach for lifelong learning and success. It is also our duty to pay attention to those children who are not enjoying school, to ask why and support them to turn this around.
The Curriculum
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) applies to children from birth to five years of age. The final year of the EYFS is referred to as the reception year. In our school, all children join us at the beginning of the school year in which they are five (compulsory schooling begins at the start of the term after a child's fifth birthday.)
At Newbridge Primary we are committed to underpinning our provision with the four distinct but complimentary themes of the Early Years Foundation Stage in our reception classes. A Unique Child, Positive Relationships, Enabling Environments, Learning and Development.
Aims of the Foundation Stage
In the EYFS setting at Newbridge Primary School we believe that all children are entitled to the best possible start in their school life, both intellectually and emotionally, in order to enable them to develop their full potential.
We aim to support each child's welfare, learning and developmental needs by:
Active Learning through Play
At Newbridge Primary School we recognise that young children learn best through being active. We understand that active learning involves other people, objects, ideas and events that engage and involve the children for sustained periods. Therefore, we believe that Early Years education should be as practical as possible and our EYFS has an ethos of learning through play. We recognise the importance of children's play. It is an essential and rich part of their learning process, supporting them in all areas of development. Play is a powerful motivator, encouraging children to be creative and to develop their ideas, understanding and language. Play is also flexible and able to suit the preferred learning style of the child. It can provide multiple ways for children to learn a variety of skills and concepts.
In the EYFS at Newbridge Primary School practitioners provide both structured and unstructured play opportunities inside outside. These activities are designed to engage children in practical, first-hand experiences which will support children to discover, explore, investigate, develop their personal interests and areas of curiosity, and help to make sense of the world around them as they begin to understand specific concepts. Play opportunities are also set up to provide children with opportunities to apply newly acquired knowledge, demonstrating their skills and levels of understanding.
In providing these active learning opportunities through play we understand the central position of play within the EYFS framework. This is essentially a play based curriculum and pedagogy as the provision of play opportunities underpins its delivery within settings.
Assessment and Record Keeping
Ongoing assessment is an essential aspect of the effective running of the EYFS setting at Newbridge Primary School. Regular, planned and focused assessments are made of the children's learning and individual needs. A record of each child's progress in all areas of their learning is kept by and filing their assessment data. The main EYFS assessment method is through and practitioners' observations of children in different teaching and learning contexts, including both adult focused activities and child initiated play. Learning Journeys record children's progress over the academic year in all areas of learning and development of the EYFS framework.
THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM 2014 (Years 1 to 6)
The government has very recently revised the National Curriculum for Primary Schools and as a school we have decided to develop an exciting and innovative model of teaching and learning which will engage children in learning whilst equipping them with the knowledge and skills which they will need to be responsible and aspiring members of the community and the future.
From September 2014 we are basing our curriculum on an inquiry learning model. This will be known as 'The Newbridge 50'.
Inquiry-based learning is an approach in which the children have ownership of their learning. It starts with exploration and questioning and leads to investigation into a question, issue, problem or idea. It involves asking questions, gathering and analysing information and generating solutions, making decisions, justifying conclusions and taking action.
We will often launch each inquiry with a 'hook' day. A day which may take the children by surprise, but allows them to be full engaged in the learning process.
Inquiry-based learning provides opportunities for children to reflect on their learning. It also allows the opportunity to build on prior learning skills, knowledge and values and the ability to draw conclusions and make connections between new ideas.
The purpose at the end of the inquiry is to identify what the children have learnt and to relate their learning to real life situations. An example of activities related to this could be the publishing of findings through newsletters or posters, organising a public performance or causing change by the children's own learned and developed knowledge.
By integrating national curriculum subjects, children are able to make clear links between learning and therefore develop their understanding at a deeper level.
With the fantastic resource of our own Conservation Area, we are able to offer Forest Schools and outdoor learning. The EYFS receive 'Explore Outdoors' where they learn through play and adventure in the area.
Currently children in Year 2 and Year 4 have weekly Forest Schools, led by a trained Forest School teacher. The children cannot tell you enough how much they enjoy this time learning outside and all of the skills they develop through doing so. There is a small voluntary charge for this element of the curriculum.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION and COLLECTIVE WORSHIP
'Awareness, Mystery and Value' is the agreed syllabus for the teaching of Religious Education in all church and community schools in Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset and North Somerset. Assemblies are held daily for all children.
SEX and RELATIONSHIPS EDUCATION
Sex Education is part of our teaching on Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development (SMSC), and linked to Science elements of the curriculum. Information letters are sent home in advance of specific teaching, giving details about opportunities to view curriculum resources. Parents and carers have the right to request that a pupil be wholly or partly excused from Sex and Relationships Education lessons. Any parent/carer wishing to exercise this right should arrange an appointment via the School Office to discuss the matter with the Headteacher.
All children will have the opportunity to have swimming lessons during their time at Newbridge. Currently we use the outdoor pool at the RUH, which has proved excellent and supports reduced travel time and cost.
PLANNING, PREPARATION and ASSESSMENT
All teachers' are entitled to half a day per week for Planning, Preparation and Assessment time. This is covered by a team of specialist teachers. EYFS and Year 1 will each be supported by experienced class teachers for half a day a week to allow for this.
From Year 2 upwards, the PPA is supported by teachers who offer expertise in Art, Drama, PE and Music.
Working in Partnership
Working together with you is an imperative to your child's happiness and success in our school. Our Home/School Agreement is drawn up through careful consideration with children, parents and carers, teachers and governors. It is at the heart of everything we do at Newbridge Primary School.
We please ask that children and parents/carers read the document carefully before signing it next term.
There is an expectation that all parents and carers support their child in practicing and extending learning at home. There is school policy with regards to our expectations for each year group. Each class teacher will share this with parents and carers at the 'Getting to Know You' sessions in September.
Strong lines of communication are important to ensure that as a parent or carer you have a clear understanding of what your child is being taught, ways in which you can support your child's learning, the school's aims and expectations and also general information about the life of our busy school.
There are a number of ways in which we will communicate with you:
There will be occasions when as a parent or carer you will wish to make contact with the class teacher. Due to the school's layout and design, the school's lower school teachers are more readily available, if this is required. The upper school layout does not offer this access so easily, but it is very important to note that we are an open school who welcomes any queries, questions or concerns. If you would like to make an appointment to see your class teacher, then please make an appointment via the School Office.
The NPSA is a very active and successful group. It won a national award in 2008 for its fund raising achievements for ReNewbridge and in 2011/2012 it achieved a target of �25000 for the Fizzbook and IPad campaign. The association is formed by parents, carers and members of staff who organise events and generally support the school to provide extras for the children. Parents and Carers are automatically part of the association but have to be nominated at the AGM, which is held in September, to serve on the committee. This is a great way to get to know other parents and carers and feel a part of the school community. There are also members of the committee who are class representatives. This works particularly well when organising the part that year groups/classes play in fund raising activities.
Many events and activities are held throughout the year, including a Christmas and Summer Fair, a Family Barbeque, Quiz Night and even ice-skating! There is something for everyone to come and enjoy and to get to know others in the school community.
Being at the centre of the local community is one of our central aims and we are very grateful for the amount and quality of voluntary help available to us at Newbridge. Parents, carers, grandparents and community members are most welcome to join our volunteer team to offer support in school and on school trips.
Tony Day coordinates all voluntary help in the school, compiling a database of existing volunteers as well as a database of need. All volunteers will need to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service check. Please contact Mr Day who will be able to answer any questions you may have.
As a school we clearly see the important role we all have to play in our local community. We want to instil a sense of belonging for all of the children, whilst ensuring they understand the contribution they can and do make. In this way we ensure the children have the opportunity to visit local people and places, for example the choir performing their annual tour of the local hospital and care homes. We also very much welcome visitors into our school community and appreciate the skills and wealth of knowledge which they can share with our children.
All of the children belong to one of four houses; Ospreys, Falcons, Eagles or Owls. These houses are used throughout the year for team events. Siblings are members of the same house Individual children can be awarded House Points. The number of house merits achieved by each house is then celebrated in a termly whole school assembly. A trophy is presented to the winning house at Christmas, Easter and the end of the school year.
The children take great pride in their house achievements and this is another way of promoting a sense of belonging to the school community.
Some children, at some stage may require additional support in determining their needs and therefore ensuring that through provision, they are able to access the school curriculum. We value parents' and carers' knowledge and insight of their own child's needs and will always consult with parents and carers and agree ways of working together.
These processes will be overseen by our Inclusion Coordinator (sometimes known as the 'SENCO') who ensures that strategies are agreed and put in place to support the child. The school will work closely with other agencies that have more specific skills. These agencies include Educational Psychology, Specialist Behaviour Service, Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists, the Sensory Support Team and Speech and Language Therapists. The school follows the SEN Code of Practice for supporting children with special educational needs.
We are committed to providing an appropriate and high quality education for all, regardless of, gender, ethnicity, needs, attainment or family background.
Pupil Voice
The pupils' voice is valued in the running of the school.
Each year the children elect a new School Council to represent the views of the pupils. They take their role of responsibility very seriously and have been at the heart of some significant changes in the school.
The School Council also plays a part in organising fund-raising events for charities which have been nominated by the children.
Our Expectations
Our Rationale: At Newbridge Primary School, we encourage mutual respect, care and concern for others. As a school we want our children to develop a clear view of right from wrong and to feel safe, secure and valued. We want them to appreciate the needs of others and of the community around them.
Our Aims: It is our primary aim that every member of the school community feels valued and respected, with each person treated fairly and well. We are a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. The school's Behaviour & Discipline and Anti-Bullying Policy is therefore designed to support the way in which all members of the school can live and work together in a supportive way. It aims to promote an environment where everyone feels happy, safe and secure.
The school has a number of rules, but our Behaviour & Discipline and Anti-Bullying Policy is not primarily concerned with rule enforcement. It is a means of promoting good relationships, so that people can work together with the common purpose of helping everyone to learn. This Policy supports the school community in aiming to allow everyone to work together in an effective, respectful and considerate way.
The school expects every member of the school community to behave in a considerate way towards others, to contribute to standards of behaviour and uphold the school values. We treat all children fairly and apply the Behaviour & Discipline and Anti-Bullying Policy in a consistent way.
This Policy aims to help children grow in a safe and secure environment, and to become positive, responsible, confident, well-motivated and increasingly independent members of the school community. The school rewards good behaviour and sanctions inappropriate behaviour, as it believes that this will develop an ethos of kindness and cooperation. This Policy is designed to promote good behaviour, rather than merely deter anti-social behaviour.
THE ROLE OF PARENTS and CARERS
We work collaboratively with parents and carers to support their child's learning, and encourage supportive dialogue between the home and the school. We expect parents and carers, while on the school premises, to support and reinforce the school's Behaviour and Discipline Policy by demonstrating appropriate behaviour, both physical and verbal. Parents and carers can be asked, for a fixed term period, to vacate the premises if they use inappropriate verbal or physical standards of behaviour.
If the school has to use reasonable sanctions to punish a child, we expect parents/carers to support the actions of the school. If parents and carers have any concerns they should raise it with the School Leadership Team in the first instance. If the concern remains, they should contact the Headteacher and, thereafter, the school governors. If these discussions cannot resolve the problem, a formal grievance or appeal process can be implemented. Parents and carers who are concerned that their child might be being bullied, or who suspect that their child may be the perpetrator of bullying, should contact their child's class teacher immediately. Depending on the severity of the alleged offence, it may be appropriate for parents to contact the phase leader, deputy head or Headteacher. Parents have a responsibility to support the school's anti-bullying policy and to actively encourage their child to be a positive member of the school.
The full Behaviour & Discipline and Anti-Bullying Policy can be found on the school website.
Extra-Curricular Activities
The extra-curricular programme is a strength of the school. There are a wide range of extra-curricular clubs available during the year at Newbridge and great importance is attached to extending and broadening the children's horizons. The activities provide sporting, creative and social opportunities.
Recent and current clubs include: Football, Cricket, Tennis, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Tag Rugby, Dance, Drumming, Art, Craft, Drama, Dance, German and Forest Schools. A list of extra- curricular activities is updated throughout the year. Clubs run by outside coaches are independent and a fee is charged.
Residential trips are organised for Year 6 and Year 5 children. The experience of living and learning together alongside friends away from home is invaluable. Our Year 5 residential trip to Kilve Court offers a wide range of activities which we cannot be accommodated in the school, such as abseiling, archery and climbing.
Children in Year 6 undertake a more extensive visit and this is key to their next steps as secondary school approaches. On their return all of the children talk very fondly about their visit and remember it for years to come.
Peripatetic Music Teachers visit the school and offer a range of musical tuition such as cello, guitar violin and flute. Parents and Carers must understand that these lessons are taught during the school day and should therefore be aware that curriculum lessons will be missed in order to attend.
In line with the school's Charging Policy, there is a 'not for profit' charge for these lessons.
The School Day
Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1
(EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2)
Key Stage 2
(Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6)
Lower School (Early Years Foundation Stage to Year 2)
In the lower school children arrive on the playground with parents or carers from 8:40am. At 8.50am a bell will sound which will indicate the children should go to their class lines, a second bell will then sound which indicates the time for all parents/carers to leave the playground.
At the end of the school day all children in the lower school must be met by a responsible adult. The class teacher will dismiss children into the care of a parent or carer. If your child is to be collected by someone other than the named parent or carer, then this must be recorded in the Going Home Book which is kept in the cloakroom area of each lower school classroom. Please also use this book if your child is to be collected by a member of the After School Club. If a parent or carer is late collecting a child from school due to an emergency, then please telephone the School Office.
Upper School (Years 3 to 6)
In the upper school children more often arrive by themselves. Children can begin entering the school building, through the cloakroom door, from 8:45am when a whistle will sound. Registration will commence at 8:55am.
Children in the upper school are allowed to depart school by themselves, once they have been dismissed by their class teacher. The children will leave school through the black gate via the playground.
School Uniform, Code of Dress and Equipment
There is an expectation that all children will follow the school's code of dress, as we believe that dress and appearance reflects the standards to which we aspire. The uniform is as follows:
Red sweatshirt or sweatshirt style cardigan with school logo
As above, plus -
PE Kit
Red round neck t-shirt
Please can all parents and carers ensure that all clothing and belongings are clearly named.
Children should not bring any stationery (pens, pencils, notepads, etc) in to school from home. We provide everything that the children need.
All children should be supplied with some form of protective clothing for use during painting/craft lessons. An old shirt is ideal.
Children will also need a water bottle which should be named.
Children will need wellies and waterproof coats and trousers when participating in Forest Schools.
In the summer time we ask that children wear hats. A Newbridge hat can be purchased at the School Office.
Some children like to use the Newbridge Book Bag. This can be purchased from the school office.
Healthy Lifestyles, Healthy Children
We ask that your child only has water to drink in school. They should come to school each day with a freshly filled water bottle, which can then be re-filled from the water coolers in school.
Free milk is available for children until the day of their fifth birthday. This needs to be ordered in the School Office.
Newbridge Primary School belongs to the 'Free Fruit for Schools Scheme' which provides fruit to EYFS, and Key Stage 1 children. We encourage the children to eat healthy snacks of either fruit or vegetables during snack time.
Key Stage 2 children may bring in a healthy snack for consumption at break time. This must be a piece of fruit or vegetable.
If you are able to support the 'Free Fruit for Schools Scheme' by helping to distribute the fruit/vegetables into bowls and collecting waste please see your child's class teacher.
Our school meals are popular and accommodate all tastes as well as providing excellent value for money. From September 2014 all children in Early Years Foundation Stage, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under a government initiative.
If you are paying for a meal for an elder child, it will cost �2.00 and should be paid for in advance on the first day of every week. The correct money should be sent in a sealed envelope clearly marked with the child's name and class.
Please make cheques payable to B&NES. Dinner money can be paid weekly, monthly or termly and the amount required will be included in the newsletter at the end of each term for the following months. Meals must be taken on a weekly basis but can be alternated weekly with sandwiches. This enables the kitchen to order and provide the correct amount of fresh fruit and vegetables. A vegetarian alternative is always available to the main meal, as is a choice of vegetables or salad and traditional pudding, fresh fruit or yoghurt.
If your family receives elements of the new Universal Credit, you may be eligible to claim for free school meals. Please enquire at the School Office for further details. Even if your child wishes to have sandwiches, please apply for free school meals, as eligibility may mean your child can access additional provision in school including part payment of trips, clubs and activities.
You may prefer to send your child with a packed lunch, please ensure all lunch boxes and containers are clearly labelled with your child's name and class.
We ask that packed lunches do not contain nuts as we have some children in school who are severely allergic to them. Only water is to be drunk with the packed lunch and this is provided at each meal time. Please do not send another option to school.
As a part of our Healthy Schools and Eco Schools' status, we encourage walking and/or cycling to school. We have bicycle/scooter racks where bikes/scooters can be stored during the school day. The school cannot take responsibility for any loss/damage so please do ensure that a padlock is used to secure your property.
Punctuality, Attendance and Leave of Absence
Regular attendance at school is a parent and carer's legal duty. Staff and Governors believe it is of the utmost importance that children attend regularly. Therefore we ask that you read the following guidelines carefully and also refer to the Attendance Policy on the school's website.
At our school, we expect children to arrive at school on time. The beginning of the school day is an important time to ensure that children are settled, organised and ready to start learning. Poor punctuality not only has an impact on an individual's ability to begin learning but can impact on the rest of the class if the class teacher has to spend time supporting latecomers
The Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher monitor children's arrival at school on a weekly basis. The Headteacher and/or the Deputy Headteacher will contact parents and carers of a child who is persistently late, to discuss and resolve any barriers that may be preventing a child from attending school on time.
A pupil arriving late should report to the School Office via the main entrance and the parent or carer should give a reason for the lateness in the file on the desk.
On the first day a child is absent the parent/carer should inform the school by telephone before 9:30am.
A child's absence will be recorded as unauthorised if no satisfactory explanation is given for absence or if the school considers the information received from a parent/carer is not an acceptable reason for absence, eg the parent is ill and unable to bring the child to school. The Deputy Headteacher monitors attendance on a regular basis and works closely with the Local Authority Children Missing Education Officer when there is a concern. Parents and Carers will be informed of their child's low attendance level by a letter and invited to discuss their child's attendance when:
The school will only grant leave of absence in exceptional circumstances and any request for absence will need to be made in person at a meeting with the Deputy Headteacher, prior to making any arrangements. The Deputy Headteacher will assess each request on an individual basis, considering both the impact missing school will have on the child's education and any special circumstances of which you make the school aware.
Should you need to make an appointment with the Deputy Headteacher, this can be arranged through the School Office and should be done well in advance of the event. You will need to bring with you to this meeting any relevant supporting evidence, eg wedding invitation, letter from employer, etc.
We do not consider the availability of cheap holidays, the availability of desired accommodation, poor weather experienced in school holidays or an overlap with the beginning or end of term as exceptional circumstances and therefore such leave will not be authorised.
Where the school and the parents/carers fail to reach an agreement and the child is then absent from school, the absence is marked as unauthorised and the Local Authority is informed.
Please arrange for routine clinical or dental appointments to be made outside of school hours.
We have robust systems in place for safeguarding children and take any concerns parents and carers, or children or school staff, may have, very seriously. Our aim is to work closely with parents and carers if a concern arises, however parents/carers must be aware that if this concern indicates a child may be at risk of significant harm, the school has a duty to contact Social Care immediately. The Designated Lead for Safeguarding at Newbridge is Gill Kennaugh.
Throughout their time at school, your child may have worries and concerns. Importantly, we will ensure that your child knows who they can speak to in school to receive any necessary support and action. Likewise, if you, as a parent or carer have any concerns or are aware of changes in family circumstances which may affect your child, please do talk to your child's class teacher in the first instance.
E-safety is a focus in all areas of the curriculum and staff reinforce e-safety messages in the use of Computing across the curriculum. In lessons where the internet is accessed, pupils are guided to sites checked as suitable for their use and processes are in place for dealing with any unsuitable material that is found in internet searches.
Pupils are taught in all lessons to be critically aware of the materials/content they access on- line and be guided to validate the accuracy of information
Parents and carers play a crucial role in ensuring that their children understand the need to use the internet and mobile devices in an appropriate way. The school will therefore take every opportunity to help parents and carers to understand these issues through parents' evenings, newsletters, letters, website and information about national and local e-safety campaigns and literature.
Parents and carers will be responsible for:
There are 2 entrances to the school, one is off Charmouth Road and the other is from Newbridge Hill. The gates at each end of the site are locked between 9:10am and 3:00pm each day. To gain access to the school during the school day, visitors must use the intercom based at the Charmouth Road end.
All volunteers and visitors must sign in at the School Office, based in the middle of the school site and wear a school visitor badge if they are staying on site. If a parent or carer is collecting or returning a child, then he/she must be signed out/in at the School Office.
Medical Matters
We understand that from time to time your child may be required to be administered with a prescribed medicine during the school day. The following guidance is taken from the Bath and North East Somerset Schools' Medicine Policy, which has been adopted by our school.
It is at the Headteacher's discretion as to whether or not prescribed medicines can be administered in school. However, as a school we wish to do all we can to support this request. The following policy regarding the administering of medicines will apply:
A number of children in school will have prescribed inhalers for asthmatic needs. These, along with any additional equipment, must be placed in a suitable, sealed and labelled container and handed to the class teacher. These will be kept in a central place in your child's classroom. Please note that a permission and disclaimer form must be completed in the School Office and that it is the parent/carer's responsibility to check the date on the inhaler.
Illness and accidents do, unfortunately, occur. Many of our staff are trained in first aid, including paediatric first aid. If a child is unwell or has an injury giving cause for any concern, it is our policy to contact parents and carers as soon as possible.
It is vital that parents and carers have notified the school office of any changes to addresses, telephone numbers or named contacts.
We ask that parents and carers make regular checks for headlice and treat accordingly. Children with long hair must tie it back as this reduces the chances of spreading the unwanted visitors. If we find that a child has headlice in school, we will inform the parent of carer so that it can be treated immediately and so that the risk of spreading is reduced.
Wrap Around Provision
Newbridge Primary has its own Breakfast Club which runs from 7.45am every morning. Children who attend receive a healthy breakfast, as well as taking part in a range of exciting activities. Details of cost and bookings can be obtained from the School Office.
The Newbridge After School Club runs from the end of school until 6.00pm every day. Children have a light tea as well as having full use of our resources for play and organised activities. Please contact the school office for details of cost and booking.
Formal complaints, in the first instance, should be made to the Headteacher and it is hoped that, in most cases, these will be resolved at this informal level. However, in the unlikely event that attempts at a local level fail, there is an agreed complaints procedure that should be followed. If you require further information on the complaints procedure, full details are available from the School Office.
Some school activities will only be possible if parents and carers make a voluntary contribution and, where this is the case, parents and carers will be informed at the outset. If there are not enough contributions received, an activity may have to be cancelled. The school's Charging Policy is published on our website and a hard copy may be seen on request. In certain circumstances, it may be possible to pay by instalments. Please contact the School Office for more details.
When sending your child to school, please can you ensure that every item of clothing they are wearing is clearly marked. This includes bicycles and scooters. Any lost items will be kept for a limited period. At the end of each term, cloakrooms will be cleared and items of unclaimed property will be displayed for collection. Any remaining items will be recycled.
It has been the occasion that the school has had to be closed due to severe weather. If this decision does need to made, it will be displayed on the school website, the Bath and North East Somerset website and also a text message will be sent to parents and carers.

Gear Question
I purchased the med a while back and love...
I purchased the med a while back and love knowing my gear will stay dry. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but how do you keep the stupid things compressed? I have tried several different variations of stuffing, rolling the top, and using the valve to remove air. Usually only takes 15 min or so for the bag to "reinflate" itself, yes I tightened the valve all the way. What am I doing wrong?
james tepner
I don't think it's your fault Jdawg, in my experience and what I gather from other reviews, these bags seep.
you can just wrap some Teflon around the threads of the valve. Get this at Home Depot or any hardware store. This should create a tighter seal to allow the valve to stay tight.
Steven Jones
Good idea Kris, I have had the same issue with seepage. Not a huge downer, but it would be nice if they stayed compressed longer.
Thanks guys.

|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|For filling
|Low fat cottage cheese
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Part skim ricotta cheese
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Vanilla beans/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
|Cream cheese
|4 Ounce (At Room Temperature)
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Egg white
|Plain nonfat yogurt
|3 Tablespoon, drained
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Unsweetened cocoa powder
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Poached figs
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Passion fruit sauce
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Passion fruit puree
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Orange juice
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Grapefruit juice
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|3 Teaspoon (Leveled)
|Cherry sauce
|1 Tablespoon
|Dried cherries
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|6 Tablespoon
|Dry red wine
|12 Cup (192 tbs)
|Ground cinnamon
|1 Pinch
|2 Teaspoon
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
To prepare the crust: Chop the nuts finely in a food processor.
Combine in a bowl with the graham cracker crumbs and just enough orange juice to bring the mixture together.
Press a thin layer of crust into the bottom of a 9-inch square or 10-inch round baking pan.
Bake the crust until it is crisp and resembles a cookie, about 1 5 minutes.
To prepare the filling: Puree the cottage cheese and ricotta cheese in a food processor.
Split the vanilla beans, if using, in half lengthwise and scrape out the pulp.
Add the vanilla pulp or the vanilla extract, if using, and all remaining ingredients to the puree and process until smooth.
Pour onto the crust.
Place the cake on the middle rack of the oven, then turn the temperature down to 200°F.
Place a small bowl of water on the bottom rack of the oven.
Bake for 90 minutes or until just set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
Meanwhile, make the two sauces.
To make the passion fruit sauce: Combine the passion fruit puree and juices in a small saucepan.
Place several tablespoons of the mixture in a bowl and mix with the cornstarch.
Heat the mixture in the pan over medium heat until bubbles begin to appear, then stir and mix in the cornstarch mixture.
Bring to a boil.
As soon as the sauce thickens, remove immediately and let cool.
Transfer to a squeeze bottle or a cup with a spout.
To make the cherry sauce: Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and add water to cover.
Simmer until the cherries are tender, then puree in a blender until smooth.
Strain by pressing forcefully through a fine-meshed sieve and let cool.
Transfer to a squeeze bottle or a cup with a spout.
When the cheesecake is fully chilled, cut out hearts from the cake with a heart-shaped cookie cutter, or make a paper template and cut around it with a sharp knife.
Cover the hearts and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Decorate each serving plate, using the two sauces, with a free-form design of drips and splats.
Place a cheesecake heart in the center and a fig half on the side.
If you like, add a small scoop of ice cream.

Although I had no problem with what I ate, the waitress was clueless. When I asked about the flan, she said she's have to read the ingredients list, but assured me if there was any gluten, it'd be so small as to not affect me. I asked her to please check anyways and all was fine. However, she seemed to not understand that ANY is not okay.
2947 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
Yes, they have gf buns, but they taste like cardboard. I'd rather do a lettuce wrap, but I appreciate that they are trying!
3411 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
Very friendly staff and lots of Yumminess in this store! I recommend getting a cupcake and picking up the pizza crust for dinner.

The pancakes are delicious. Waffles are okay. Very happy with the variety that the gf menu offers!!

Require components from node programs
It allows to require components from node modules as well as share them with npm community.
Require stand-alone component (with all dependencies in a components dir):
var component = require'component-as-module'var min = component'component-min'
Add additional lookup paths or enable dev dependencies:
var boot = component'boot' loaderaddLookup'node_modules' loaderdevelopment
Alternative way to require components is to create a special require function:
var req = componentcreateRequire loaderaddLookup'components' var min = req'component-min'
This differs from the above examples in that all loaded components are preserved
between calls, so, for example, requiring
component-min second time is fast and
you recieve the same instance.
To make a component consumable with npm:
Create a package.json file
Set the
name field to either full or partial component name,
i.e. to
username-foo or to
List dependencies. Because npm understands github urls you can safely specify them in a component style:
moduleexports = require'component-as-module'__dirname
After that you can safely publish it to npm. It will work like any other npm module. (Just don't forget to include
component.json to package.)
I believe there should be only one package convention for the web. No matter what side it is. Component is a good one. This project should help to use it for both node and browser.
with npm
npm install component-as-module
To run tests
npm install -dnpm test

ANNOUNCER: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Live from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, once again, Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos.
GIBSON: Back to the Philadelphia debate, the Democratic debate, just less than a week now before the Pennsylvania primary. And I would be remiss, tonight, if I didn't take note of the fact that today is the one-year anniversary of Virginia Tech. And I think it's fair to say that probably every American during this day at one point or another, said a small prayer for the great people of that university and for those who died.
It also, I suspect, makes this an appropriate time to talk about guns. And it has not been talked about much in this campaign. And it's an important issue in the state of Pennsylvania. Both of you, in the past, have supported strong gun control measures. But now, when I listen to you on the campaign, I hear you emphasizing that you believe in an individual's right to bear arms. Both of you were strong advocates for licensing of guns. Both of you were strong advocates for the registration of guns.
Why don't you emphasize that now, Senator Clinton?
CLINTON: Well, Charlie, on Friday, I was with Mayor Nutter, who is here, in west Philadelphia, at the YMCA there, to talk about what we could do together to bring down the crime rate that has ravaged Philadelphia.
You know, more than one person, on average, a day is murdered in Philadelphia. And Mayor Nutter is very committed, as the mayor of this great city, to try to do what he can to stem the violence.
And what I said then is what I have been saying, that I will be a good partner for cities like Philadelphia as president, because I will bring back the COPS program, the so-called COPS program, where we had 100,000 police on the streets, which really helped drive down the crime rate and also helped create better community relations.
I will also work to reinstate the assault weapons ban. We had it during the 1990s. It really was an aid to our police officers, who are now, once again, because it has lapsed and the Republicans will not reinstate it, are being outgunned on our streets by these military-style weapons.
I will also work to make sure that police departments in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, across America, get access to the federal information that will enable them to track illegal guns. Because the numbers are astounding. Probably 80 percent of the guns used in gun crimes are in the hands of that criminal, that gang member, unfortunately people who are sometimes, you know, mentally challenged, because it got there illegally. And under the Republicans, that information was kept from local law enforcement.
So I believe that we can balance what I think is the right equation. I respect the Second Amendment. I respect the rights of lawful gun owners to own guns, to use their guns. But I also believe that most lawful gun owners, whom I have spoken with for many years across our country, also want to be sure that we keep those guns out of the wrong hands.
And as president, I will work to try to bridge this divide, which I think has been polarizing and, frankly, doesn't reflect the common sense of the American people.

Wrong interpolation between 2 vertices
Hi all,
I am using the experimental drivers 195.36.07.04 (I want modern OpenGL support).
I am drawing a line, from P0 to P1.
I have a varying variable declared like this in my vertex shader:
noperspective out vec3 var_debug_color;
In my vertex shader, I assign to var_debug_color the value vec3(0.0, 0.5, 0.0) for P0 and vec3(0.5, 0.0, 0.0) for P1.
P0 is visible, P1 is not inside the view frustum (behind the camera).
In my fragment shader, I just output vec4(var_debug_color, 0.0).
Problem: the values which appear on screen are above 127 for the green component!
Example RGB output I get:
0, 127, 0
0, 129, 0
0, 131, 0
0, 135, 0
I suppose this is a bug in the driver. I think I could provide a test case, if someone is willing to investigate this bug.
Thank you.
Re: Wrong interpolation between 2 vertices
195.36.07.04 is old, I'd suggest using 256.35. If the problem still occurs with that, then please do attach a simple test case, along with an nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file.

A large fraction of take-home pay for Directors of Non-Profit Development comes from commissions — close to a third on average, in fact. The median overall income in this field is approximately $58K. Total cash compensation to Directors of Non-Profit Development bottoms out near $36K and approaches $92K on the high end; the biggest paychecks include approximately $7K from bonuses and almost $10K from profit sharing. The specific employer is the main element affecting pay for this group — geography and experience level are driving factors as well. Most workers in this position report high levels of job satisfaction. Medical benefits are awarded to a strong majority, and more than half earn dental coverage. Participants in PayScale's salary questionnaire provided the particulars of this report.

In a non-profit organization, the director of development (or development director) is responsible for ensuring that the organization has necessary funding to function. This means the director of development creates and implements a fundraising plan detailing how the organization can obtain financial support; often, the plan identifies sources such as individual investors, grants, charitable events, marketing opportunities, and corporate investors. The fundraising plan also contains strategies to successfully build a large donor base and ensure effective fundraising. The director of development then reports this plan to the other senior leadership and the organization's board of directors. At a small nonprofit organization, the director of development may be required to personally solicit donors, be responsible for the organization's branding, and play a large role in the organization's public relations strategies. At a large nonprofit organization, the director of development most likely oversees a development team which they would be responsible for staffing and maintaining.Read More...
To become a director of development, a bachelor's degree is often required, usually in business or a related field. As with most senior positions, a master's degree may not be required, but may be preferred. A director of development would also be required to have at least five years of experience in a non-profit leadership position or similar fundraising experience. Prospective directors must be familiar with operational processes in nonprofits and legalities surrounding non-profit fundraising techniques.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Directors of Non-Profit Development' salaries may rise greatly for those who assume a higher-end position such as a VP of Operations. The average VP of Operations brings home $122K per year. Directors of Non-Profit Development typically move into roles as Non-Profit Executive Directors or Directors of Fundraising Development, and those positions pay $1K more and $2K more, respectively.
YMCA, Habitat For Humanity, The Salvation Army, Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), and Special Olympics, Inc. are among the top companies that take on many Directors of Non-Profit Development. The Salvation Army does shell out the biggest paychecks — the median in that office is $85K — but the company pay scale is greatly mixed, meaning that workers on the low end may earn only $33K while workers on the upper end may rake in up to $148K. Other leaders in compensation levels are Big Brothers Big Sisters at $58K, Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) at $50K, and Special Olympics, Inc., where Directors of Non-Profit Development annually earn $49K.
With a reported median salary of only $42K, Habitat For Humanity easily takes the cake for lowest-paying firm in town; earnings are less than half of the top paying company's rate. Others at the bottom of the scale for this job include Boy Scouts of America at $43K, and YMCA where $44K is the norm, but it is worth noting that some Directors of Non-Profit Development there earn up to $69K.
Survey results imply that Directors of Non-Profit Development deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, skills in Strategic Planning, Project Management, Customer Relationship Management, and Fundraising are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Windows Operating System General Use, Media / Public Relations, and Event Planning. Most people experienced in Fundraising also know Event Planning.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Directors of Non-Profit Development, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $49K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $60K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Directors of Non-Profit Development claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $67K. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $70K.
Home to some of the best pay for Directors of Non-Profit Development, San Francisco offers exceptional salaries, 38 percent above the national average. Directors of Non-Profit Development can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Washington (+29 percent), New York (+29 percent), Los Angeles (+27 percent), and Boston (+25 percent). Those in the field find the lowest salaries in Portland, 16 percent below the national average.
