Serving Central and Lower Bucks County, PA
Seniors Helping Seniors® In-Home Services is a unique in-home service that matches seniors needing help with other seniors who want to help. This creates the support you or your family member requires from someone who will understand them & their needs; building relationships on mutual respect, understanding and assistance. Quite simply, those who give and those who receive learn from each other and each grows a little bit more each day.
When cognitive deficits have eliminated the ability of the receiver to remember and grow from the relationship, the sense of comfort and well-being that comes from being in relationships with one who cares allows moment-to-moment experiences, which result in reduced anxiety and calmer behaviors.
In some situations, Seniors Helping Seniors® services are provided just for a few hours a week to take care of light housekeeping, meal prep or transportation to run errands and/or medical appointments. Some seniors who live with their family have become very frail or cognitively challenged and benefit from having a helper with them when the family is at work or school.
Seniors Helping Seniors® services of Bucks County has been serving the seniors of Central and Lower Bucks County since August 2007. We were voted Best of Bucks for 2008, 2009 and 2010.

It's possible that northeastern Louisiana soon will be able to provide a final resting place of honor for those who have served their country.
A new veterans cemetery could be constructed in Richland Parish if the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs issues a grant next month.
The state already has veterans cemeteries in northwestern Louisiana in Keithville, central Louisiana in Leesville and will open the southeastern Louisiana cemetery in Slidell in 2014.
"It's not a done deal yet, but we're feeling pretty good now," said Robin Keller, a spokeswoman for the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs.
Keller said the state's request for the grant, which could total between $7 million and $10 million, got a boost recently when a new assessment from the federal Veterans Administration showed an increased number of local veterans are under-served with access to a veterans cemetery. Already in place is an $800,000 state match that will be fully reimbursed by the federal VA.
The study also showed the 60-acre tract for the Northeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery near Rayville that was donated by the Franklin family meets environmental requirements.
The state veterans cemeteries are often described as mini-Arlingtons, referring to Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington in Virginia.
They have similar amenities and employ a staff of 10 to 15 workers. Once the federal agency pays for planning and construction, the state takes over the operating expense.
Plans for the Northeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery include a carillon, or music tower, that will pipe sacred music throughout the grounds; a chapel, administration building; maintenance facilities; 24-hour kiosk that visitors can use to locate individual graves; white, upright headstones; columbarium, or vault for those who choose cremation; fountains and sidewalks.
The state cemeteries are available for veterans, their spouses and dependent children. Services provided include opening and closing of grave or columbarium niche, provision of grave liner, memorial headstone or marker, memorial flag, military honors and a facility for committal service. There is no charge for veterans. A fee is charged for spouses and children.
U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Ruston, who will take over as the Louisiana secretary of veterans affairs in October, said the veterans cemetery will be among his top priorities.
"It's badly needed and will be state of the art," Alexander said. "It will certainly be a great way to honor veterans who deserve the very best at their sunset."
We agree.

Ligonier Valley star Grimm on to Kent St.
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Unfortunately for Ligonier Valley and several of its coaches, senior do-everything Maddy Grimm will be graduating this June.
Of course, one school's loss will be another's gain.
Grimm, perhaps the most decorated athlete in Ligonier Valley history, signed a national letter of intent to play softball at Kent State.
"Everything about Kent State felt right," Grimm said. "I had narrowed it down to Kent State and Pitt. Everything at Kent State was just a good match, and I loved everything about it."
Grimm will play shortstop for the Golden Flashes. She will be joined by two other recruits — Ronnie Ladines (Arlington, Wash.) and Nicole Teefy (Hiram, Ga.).
"While this class is small in numbers, we feel that it will be an impactful class," Kent State softball coach Karen Linder said. "This class will help add depth to our roster, and we expect a few to contribute to our program immediately."
Linder is anticipating Grimm, a three-time all-state selection, to help the team early in her career.
"We are excited to have Maddy join our program as she is an athlete that will make an immediate impact in various phases of the game," Linder said. "As a shortstop, she has great range and a strong arm. As a hitter, she has tremendous power. And as an athlete, she is a fierce competitor."
As a junior, Grimm led Ligonier Valley to its third consecutive conference title by hitting 10 home runs, collecting 31 RBI and posting a whopping .579 batting average.
The two-time Tribune-Review Female Athlete of the Year also has starred in soccer and basketball for the Rams. In addition, Grimm was the kicker for the football team.
This past soccer season, Grimm set a school record by scoring 46 goals. In her career, she put in 112.
"Four to five times a week every week she'll do things so incredible that I just shake my head and tell whoever will listen that I'm just glad she's on my side," soccer coach Eric Vogelsang said. "Maddy was admired by all of her teammates, and she will leave a lasting legacy on this program. All 27 of the returning girls looked up to her, and I know will want to continue the tradition and legacy she's started."
Despite her success on the soccer field, Grimm said her college decision came down to choosing between basketball and softball.
"For the first time in my (athletic) life I had to make a choice," she said. "I've been asked a few times recently about maybe trying to walk-on the basketball team in college. I never really thought about it. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to play two Division I sports."
When her career at Ligonier Valley comes to a close, there's no doubt about the legacy she'll leave behind. As a leader not only on athletic fields but also in the classroom (4.0 GPA), Grimm is wrapping up a truly remarkable era in Ligonier Valley history.
"My time here has been very successful," Grimm said. "I'd like to thank all of my coaches from over the years. They all helped shape me in different ways."

Hillsborough County commissioners unanimously voted yesterday to create a policy banning the county's 1,200 registered sex offenders and predators from public hurricane shelters.
Sheriff David Gee proposed the ban. He says the sex offenders "ought to fend for themselves." Gee says sex offenders will be arrested if they come near public shelters.
A convicted sex offender is charged with murder for the abduction and killing of Hillsborough County 13-year-old Sarah Lunde in April.
Earlier this month, Seminole County's sheriff proposed making a separate hurricane shelter for sex offenders, to keep them out of public shelters.
And Jacksonville officials approved legislation requiring sex offenders who seek emergency shelter during a hurricane to disclose their sex crime conviction to shelter operators upon arrival.

When Tim Cox bought the building at 101 W. Beverley St. back in 2004, the third floor was an open space with exposed brick walls - a clean canvas for the contractor and cabinet maker. The building itself is a gorgeous historic structure opposite the landmark Clocktower. But Cox wanted something different for the top floor.

Volta (voltafootwear.it) is aimed at creating and marketing "instant classics". Volta Footwear is the first brand line, launched europe-wide at the beginning of 2008.
Taking inspiration from the "classics" of footwear, we created a comfortable hybrid between sneakers and boots, designed and crafted to become part of our daily life. One-style-only, unisex, affordable, the first-born mid-cut shape was called Classic.
When the challenge is to redefine and actualize classic standards based on people's needs nowadays, Volta's mission will be carried-on through seasons and trends.
That is how, in 2009 Volta Boot was designed and launched; not only a further developement of the Volta Classic signature shape, but also a new, strong statement on the "sneakerboot" concept.
In 2010 Volta Footwear turned 3 years old with the launch of a new shape, developed in collaboration with Vibram: its name is Strada, an everyday cross- trainer. Thought to set a new standard in footwear design, the new model has the same mission of any other Volta products: to be an instant classic.
Volta footwear is available in selected shops and department-stores worldwide and has been featured in several national and international magazines and websites.

It is part of the company's $1.1 million investment in five Texas watersheds.
Dr Pepper's project is a small part of what experts estimate is a more than $500 million investment in the last five years by large beverage makers.
Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Miller, MolsonCoors and others have opened their wallets to protect a resource that's listed as a long-term risk, one they can't afford to lose.
They are investing in water to ensure they have it to make and sell their products for years to come.

If you were to ask anyone connected with the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia or the famous Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, you would find that most will want to talk about Tony Cable who is coming up for a record 46th race to Hobart in December; but not Tony, records don't mean a thing to the yachtie who still retains an air of youthfulness.
Tony Cable on the boom of DUENDE, the TP52 on which Cable is to sail his 46th Sydney-Hobart race.
Cable will head south on Duende, the Judel/Vrolijk 52 owned by friend, Damien Parkes Quite possibly strangely, Cable couldn't give two hoots that he is about to create a new record and history, he's more interested in the great mates he has met along the way – and mostly, the adventure. 'I just like sailing - and sailing in the ocean,' he says.
'If it's a nice Hobart, I look forward to sailing down the coast, even though to some degree it's pretty repetitive.'
'Nice Hobart's' don't come along too often; just ask Cable, or 'Glark' (after famous actor Clark Gable) as he is known to sailing mates at the CYCA. And when you read some of what he's been through, in the race, and ashore, it makes you realise how lucky he is for his terrific sense of humour and sense of the ridiculous.
Coming up for 46 races, Cable has seen it all. 'The toughest, although I didn't know it at the time, was 1963 aboard Sylph VI with Lawso (David Lawson) and his uncle Archie. It was my third Hobart and the most protracted and heavy one – up to 80 knots was recorded off Tasman Island. I remember two boats did 360 degree turns without meaning to,' Cable says.
'One was Aqua Bleu, and Bob Ross, the sailing journalist, was on it. The other was Four Winds II, with Rear Admiral Chris Oxenbould aboard.' Oxenbould was to become Chairman of the Race Committee for the Rolex Sydney Hobart during the 1990's.
Bob Ross remembers it slightly differently: 'We took a hammering and ended up far left into the Tasmania in a big south-westerly blow. We retired when, on re-hoisting the mainsail when the blow eased, it split. We didn't do a 360 though.
'We ended up back in Eden with, among other boats, Stan Gibson's Four Winds II, which suffered two knockdowns. Bernie Case (who has sailed 40 Hobarts) was on board and took pride in showing us the cheese slices stuck to the inside of the cabin top roof during a knockdown,' Ross recalled.
'The boat that rolled 360 degrees was John Farren-Price's Lolita, skippered by Bob Young. It was dismasted in the rollover around 140 nautical miles east-north-east of St Helens. The British submarine Trump, fortunately heading up the coast, diverted to take her in tow.
'Winds were light and variable for the first three days of that race, before a strong south-westerly change. The gale lasted 48 hours, with gusts of 60-65 knots and gusts of up to 70 in Storm Bay,' Ross added.
Cable recollected: 'That was the longest trip ever – seven days 17 hours (13 minutes and two seconds to be exact).
'It was only my third Hobart, so I was prepared to think it (the weather) was normal. I was a foredeck hand then – there was such a big wave came over the foredeck that I lied face down and held on for dear life – it was as high as the roof at the Club,' he said pointing to the CYCA's roof.
Asked if he remembered where the wind was coming from at the time, Cable responded: 'It was immaterial where the bloody wind was coming from - it didn't matter - it was horrible no matter what the direction was.'
Still at sea on New Year's Eve, midnight came around. 'The only person nearby me was a character called 'Bubbles' – Bill Manning – so we shared a New Year's kiss on the deck of Sylph,' Cable said.
Sylph VI, he said, was an old clunker, made from indestructible 3/16 inch steel plate owned by the Lawson brothers Archie, Mick and Jim, the latter being Lawso's father.
Asked how Uncle Archie and Lawso were handling the weather, Cable said: 'They were nice and safe in the cockpit.' What he didn't say, was that it was because the two's roles were normally below deck; Uncle Archie as cook and Lawso navigator.
What he also failed to mention was that Sylph VI finished dead last overall and second last on line. However, she did finish when ten others did not.

Lawso, whom Cable also sailed his first Hobart with on the yacht Tarni in 1961 (it retired), has since bowed out from long ocean races, but he has his share of 'Cable stories' too.
'Cable turned up looking for a ride in an ocean race we were doing to Coogee when he was about 19. We were based at Rose Bay in those days, and when he arrived, we told him he'd be doing the foredeck. He looked at the bow and threw up before he even got on board,' a laughing Lawso remembered.
'Another time, on Fare Thee Well, we busted the steering in rough weather and went to an emergency tiller. When we arrived at Constitution Dock, he was on the bow of the yacht in a busman's shirt and hat and was yelling 'fares please, fares please'.'
Cable has a fund of stories about himself and others – you could live on them for weeks – and he remembers all the old-time famous salts who he got to share the rail with.
A member of the CYCA for 50 years come January, Cable also started sailing to Hobart 50 years ago, and later helped Alby Mitchell, who will start this year's Rolex Sydney Hobart, to find his first ocean racing rides.
'I've sailed with something like 250 fellas, including Olympic gold medallists such as Peter 'Pod' O'Donnell, through to a Danish bloke who at the last minute jumped aboard Boomerang VII on Boxing Day in 1972 and we never saw him again after that race and I never knew his name,' Cable said.
He recalls names like Raw Meat, Earings, Thunder, Sid Brown, George Pearce, Russ Williams, Dudley Burridge, Jim McCloy and so many more, who are now long gone. And Boy Messenger, who taught him to sail and mentored Syd Fischer's early sailing career too.
Into the mid 1970's, as he became better known, Cable started to get rides aboard the big famous maxis such as Apollo (Jack Rooklyn), Gretel, Vengeance and Sovereign all owned by Bernard Lewis, and Condor of Currabubula (Tony Paola).
Sailing master on Vengeance and Sovereign during those days was David Kellett, well known in sailing circles and at one time as the Vice President of ISAF. He now heads the CYCA's Radio Relay Vessel team for big race south and had a great yarn to tell about his sailing mate being arrested in Hobart during the 1980's.
'We noticed a parade going through the streets of Hobart, there was a jazz band in it – Cable thought it would be good to have them for the QLD (Quiet Little Drink - founded by Cable and John 'Dawso' Dawson at the end of the 1969 race), so he got the number and rang.
'The guy he spoke to was Bob Thorpe – and they've stayed great mates. Bob had a friend who was the Inspector of Police and he had to come to Sydney for some training, and Bob asked us to look after him, so we invited the Inspector to lunch at the CYCA,' Kellett said.
'After a huge lunch, Cable started to get into Tassie stories, and got onto one about having to have operations to remove Tasmanians' second heads. The Inspector took it in good grace, but told Cable he ought to look after himself in Hobart that year.
'When we got to Hobart, various police would regularly come up to Cable wherever he happened to be, touch him on the shoulder and say: 'The Inspector's compliments.' Finally, New Year's Eve came around, and at dinner, a policeman arrived. Cable couldn't take it anymore - so put his hands on his head and said 'take me'.
'This went on for two days,' Kellett said, 'and next day at the QLD, the police arrived and asked if anyone knew Tony Cable – and he got hauled off in a police car. They took him to Hobart prison, and photographed him with a serial number and put him in a cell for a couple of hours. Later that day, we went to Governors House – where Cable thanked the Governor for his pleasure!'
Despite the carry on, when it came to the Hobart race, it was all business - serious sailing – and Cable is most proud of getting the rare double of line honours and the overall win on Sovereign in 1987, when Kellett skippered the yacht in the owner's absence. He also got line honours on Vengeance in 1981. 'It was a good era,' Cable reckons.
Among his favourite Hobart rides was with old mate, Don Mickleborough, on Southerly. It started in 1994 and ended with the tragic 1998 race, which the yacht retired the yacht from. During that era, and very much tongue in cheek, Cable became known as 'The Boy Bowman'.
'The first long race I did was on Southerly to Montague Island – and 50 years later I'm at the bar at the CYCA still having drinks with Don and other crew members, Stork (David Reid), Jacko (Bruce Jackson), Sighty (Richard Hammond), Chas from Tas (Charles Blundell) and others,' Cable tells.
'I find it incredible that I started ocean racing as a 19 year old on Tarni and 50 years later here I am sailing on Duende,' Cable said, whose birthday is 8 December. 'It was a time when I started to meet the remnants of the founding fathers of the CYCA,' he remembered.
'It's also incredible to me now, that at the time, the Hobart had only been going for 15 years,' Cable said.
During the early years, the yachtsman wondered the docks looking for a ride, such was his enthusiasm. 'I met a lot of the old salts and other interesting people and they accepted me,' he said. 'I started out with all these hot shots and here I am still going.
Tony Cable third from left checks the course aboard Tarni in his first Hobart
'All of a sudden, here we are and there are still a few left from those days. Gouldy (Bruce Gould), Woody (John Woodford), Parksey (Damien Parkes), Roof Racks (Geoff Rouvray) and Tip Toes (Colin Tipney),' he said, adding: 'Once me and Tip Toes (who does not fit the nickname) bought tutus and danced the Sugar Plum Fairy at the QLD.'
And now, while 18 year-old Jessica Watson is getting all the publicity, regular public relations massaging and respect; in contrast, most of Cable's mates are taking the mickey out of him publicly – starting with a large sign on the boom of Duende which reads: 'Short Fat Bald Man - sponsored by Phillips Foote'.
On the port side of the boat, aft, Parkes has had inscribed: 'Tony Cable 46'; anyone seeing it might think it was the design of the yacht, as it is in the spot where such things normally are. And there are other surprises in store, according to Parkes' son, Nick, who will also sail on Duende, which his Dad recently purchased out of Spain.
And, says Cable's mate Stork, 'Donald Graham (a police inspector) has been appointed his probationary officer.'
Southerly skipper, Don Mickleborough chips in: 'When he sailed with me, we got him to share a bunk with Jacko (they were on opposite watches) because they're both bald so the pillow never got wet. They slept forward on Southerly – we called it 'Heroes Headquarters.'
We asked Mickleborough what he thought the young people on Duende tackling their first Hobart might make of madcap Cable. 'They'll think he's an idiot,' was the quick reply, 'but he's a really good boat hand, actually.'
Talking about his mate, it took the veteran yachtsman (he turned 87 in November) back to the 1994 race.
'We were off the Tassie coast near Maria Island, and a big rolling cloud came over. I knew a southerly buster was in the offing. Glark asked what we were going to do, and I handed him an 8' long x 6' wide bundle. He asked what it was, and I answered: 'It doesn't matter what it is, just put it up.'
'It was the storm jib. He got no further than putting it in the slides and the whole bloody lot blew up – it was blowing 60 knots,' Mickleborough says.
Does he mind all the teasing? 'I have no choice but to cop the ribbing,' Cable says - famous ocean racer or not.
A little long in the tooth for the bow these days, Cable will be 'somewhere in the cockpit,' the driest area on the 52ft Duende.
Married for 41 years to the long-suffering Ada, Cable said his marriage contract stated he had to go to Hobart once a year.
'It was a point of tension, but in the last two years when I didn't do the race, Ada was going around telling people she wished I was going to Hobart – so I copped it both ways,' says Cable, the father of two sons, Ross and Geoffrey. Ross has followed in his father's footsteps, having contested the race a handful of times.

SALISBURY — Police have closed an investigation into the death of a 4-month-old child this week after it was determined the cause was sudden infant death syndrome.
Detective Sgt. Martin Fisher of the Wicomico County Child Advocacy Center said the agency was called in to investigate because it was an unattended death that was later ruled as SIDS.
Theres nothing sinister here, he said.
The death occurred at a day care center on the east side of Wicomico County. Fisher said he could not release the name of the day care provider due to agency policy.
The Maryland State Department of Education is the licensing agency for day care centers in the state and normally would not investigate a death unless it was caused by a licensing issue such as lack of a baby gate, spokesman William Reinhard said.

First came news from my fave NYC newlywed journo Matt Chabon that insanely annoying OJ Simpson-loving and torture-defending attorney Alan
Whatshisname Dershowitz hates the Food Coop like poison and is planning on boycotting.
And yesterday, also via the Observer, a late-breaking boycott promise from NY Post columnist Andrea Peyser, possibly the most godawful resident in all of Brooklyn (and that's saying something). How could I have forgotten to have include her in my list of Brooklyn's 100 Most Embarrassing Residents, btw???
Thank you, haters of Israeli products (whatever they may actually be: dead sea facial cleanser and body wash?)!
Of course, the empty threat to sue Barney's Co-op for coopting the "coop" name still takes top prize for dumbest never-gonna-happen non-event at the Food Coop but this whole Humbugs for Hummus deal is a definite runner up… Does the Food Coop even carry any Israeli products? I thought all hummus came from Queens.
As I reported months ago, "Israel lovers are banding together in defense of this proverbial assassination attempt on the Jewish state by evil, anti-semitic lefties. We need to help them come up with a better name for their organization than the current "More Hummus Please." Folks, help out your Zionist neighbors here."
But whatever you think, you've got to admit that this proposed boycott is AWESOME!
I will never have to worry about being checked out by Andrea Peyser or Alan Dershowitz. I may actually make it through a shift in peace if this keeps up!
And there's always the possibility of a live hummus-wrestling event between outraged Zionists and self-righteous lefties. That's enough to make my day right there!

Representatives from the local landfill are still pushing for a zone change that would pave the way for what they say is a much needed expansion of the county dump.
But residents of the Huntington Woods Subdivision, which is near the Browning-Ferris Industries landfill in western Franklin County, remain opposed.
A public hearing on the zone change was held Thursday before the Frankfort-Franklin County Planning Commission. BFI is seeking to rezone 211 acres from "RR" (Rural Residential) and "CH" (Highway Commercial) to "EZ-L" (exclusive use zone for landfills).
"This is the only logical place in the county for the expansion," BFI's environmental attorney Dennis Conniff said following the meeting. "Hopefully, the planning commission will take that into consideration and agree."
Currently, BFI has applied for a zone change with the Frankfort-Franklin County Planning Commission for property north of the county's existing landfill and closer to the subdivision. The expansion would border Highway 151 to the east, Interstate 64 to the north and Benson Creek to the west.

Dudley Simpson

|Dudley Simpson
|Dudley George Simpson
4 October 1922
Melbourne, Australia
|Known for
|Music for Doctor Who
Dudley Simpson (born 4 October 1922) is an Australian television composer who is best known for his work on Doctor Who. He was born in Melbourne.
Prior to leaving Australia, Simpson composed for the Borovansky Ballet Company, forerunner to the Australian Ballet. Among his early television work was the music for Moonstrike (1963). Simpson was also responsible for the memorable theme music for The Brothers (1972), The Tomorrow People (1973), Moonbase 3 (1973), The Ascent of Man (1973), Blake's 7 (1978) and the 1985 production of Titus Andronicus.
Blake's 7[edit]
Blake's 7 ran for 4 series of 13 episodes each, a total of 52 episodes. Simpson provided the incidental music for 50 of the 52 episodes that were broadcast from 1978 to 1981. The two exceptions are the episode entitled Duel (the eighth episode of Series 1) for which director Douglas Camfield chose to use stock music and Gambit (the eleventh episode of the second series) which was scored by the special sound creator of Series 2-4, Elizabeth Parker.
Doctor Who[edit]
Simpson's first work on Doctor Who was during William Hartnell's era as the First Doctor in Planet of Giants, in 1964, but he is primarily associated with the programme in the 1970s. He also appeared on screen as a music hall conductor in the 1977 story The Talons of Weng-Chiang at the invitation of Philip Hinchcliffe who was the show's producer at the time.[1] Simpson had to be paid a special fee for this appearance, as he was a member of the Musicians' Union and not Equity.
When John Nathan-Turner became producer of Doctor Who in 1980, he decided that the music needed to be updated, and took Simpson out for a meal telling him how much he appreciated his work on Doctor Who but that it would no longer be required as he intended to have the BBC Radiophonic Workshop provide music from now on. Simpson's last broadcast work on Doctor Who was for The Horns of Nimon.
Between 1964 and 1980, Simpson composed the incidental music for the following Doctor Who serials:
- Planet of Giants
- The Crusade
- The Chase
- The Celestial Toymaker
- The Underwater Menace
- The Macra Terror
- The Evil of the Daleks
- The Ice Warriors
- Fury from the Deep

I agree with this completely
I get what you are saying, but the way I see it, the amount of technique one needs to learn in order to get started with expressing concepts with the camera is minimal; much, much, much more minimal than almost any other artistic medium, IMO. The basic techniques take about a day to explain to a group of students (composing, how shutter speeds and apertures affect the picture, exposure, how light meters work and how to use them, focusing, depth of field). Then it is just a little practice, and you can start expressing concepts visually. The great (and terrible) thing about photography is that you can do a whole lot with it if you have just a little bit of very basic information.
So, I think there is an initial technical hurdle that takes just a little bit of understanding and practice, but after that, most of the visual vocabulary is complete, and there are just bits and pieces to learn as you go on practicing.
I believe "artistry" is mainly something that is a characteristic of a person, and has little to do with medium or technique. These things simply hone and focus ones artistry. I don't think that you can become an artist just because you start using a medium that is used for making art.

Combining Teaching and Library Work: the Hybrid Academic
This paper focuses on some of the issues raised when professional library staff combine archive management with an active teaching role, drawing on my own experience as an archivist in the University of Sussex Library. There are of course many archivists who are also teachers on professional training courses for prospective archivists but my concern here is teaching in higher education in subject areas other than library, archive and information sciences while using archival resources.

China's JD is edging closer to its US IPO, having first filed for it in January. JD's latest update reveals that the ecommerce company is pricing its shares in the US$16 to $18 range, which values the site at up to $24.6 billion once it eventually hits the markets.
JD – formerly called 360Buy – will list on NASDAQ with the 'JD' stock ticker. It'll raise up to $1.7 billion from the IPO.
JD's updated prospectus has also refreshed its corporate numbers, showing that it now has 47.4 million active user accounts. It sold RMB 125.5 billion ($20.7 billion) worth of items in 2013.
This IPO will inevitably be eclipsed by that of JD's larger rival, Alibaba. After first filing earlier this month, Alibaba is on course to raise about $15 billion at an estimated valuation of $170 billion.
While Alibaba's Tmall and Taobao dominate the consumer-oriented eshopping sector in China, JD differentiates itself by mostly shipping items directly to consumers, rather than Alibaba's model of serving as just a virtual storefront for small merchants and major brands.
JD's upcoming IPO could be boosted by the recent investment from Tencent (HKG:0700) that will likely see JD become integrated into WeChat, Tencent's hugely popular messaging app.

Ryan King was the King of Crates after David Crabtree set fast time.
