The course was excellent and the trainer was amazing!
I completed the Common Core Skills and Knowledge course to become an Ofsted registered nanny. The course was excellent and the trainer was amazing! He was clear when explaining, professional in delivering the course and was also friendly and supportive. The content of the course was very useful and I learnt many useful things. The assessment helped me to deepen my knowledge in many subjects which is key for a nanny who wants to develop professionally. I highly recommend Babyem to everybody who wants to develop further in childcare. Worth every penny!!
Cecilia Olmos Marangoni, 2015
The course was productive and informative
Common Core skills training was very productive and informative. Paul's instruction skills and presence kept me and fellow students interested all day. The team building exercises for communication, was fun, yet the learning curve point was direct to all.
Teresa Quinlan, 2015
I now have the skills and confidence to communicate effectively with children
I am a community development worker and recently completed the Babyem Paediatric First Aid and Common Core skills course. Both training sessions have given me the skills and confidence to communicate effectively with children. We worked a lot as a team, covering key areas including child protection and child development, essential in my role.
Equally I learnt a lot from the paediatric first aid course which was full of useful information regarding how to give first aid to children of all ages. I strongly recommend both courses.

Kinx's Book Nook Guest Post: A short story from the world of The Fifth Knight, followed by a related post on Aelred of Rievaulx
Brother Cuthbert's Story
Episcopal Palace, Canterbury Cathedral, England
29 December, 1170
Though the time is close to the holy hour of Vespers, I am no longer wanted. Men of my advanced age, with a voice that quavers and cracks when singing the Divine Office and a mind that can no longer recall the words with ease, are not welcome. Instead, I am asked to do other work. Important work, I am assured. Like lighting the scores of candles in the cathedral, followed by a long trek through the corridors of my Lord Becket's Palace to illuminate that too.
"Vital, necessary work," said the Prior, when he came to see me on a special visit. "So vital, we have to give you an assistant. Young Brother Matthew here will be your apprentice."
I am not a fool. They have given me the young, red-cheeked Matthew, hair like dried straw, to make sure I do not burn the place to the ground. With my unsteady hands and my forgetful ways, I cannot be trusted.
Matthew makes his way behind me along our last section, the high-ceilinged hallway. I know full well he checks that each sconce is steady, that there is no chance the lit pillars of wax will tip over, falling against a priceless tapestry or a carved wood cabinet.
"All perfect as usual, Brother Cuthbert!" comes his cheery call, echoing to me as he follows along with an armful of spare new candles.
My shoulders tighten. A quarter my age, he has been my overseer for, for- it escapes me. A long time. But still he pretends that he is learning from me, his wide, innocent face beaming with gratitude.
"Good." I spit my resentment on the taper to quench it, and wrench open the door in the far corner of the hallway that leads back to the stores.
A sudden series of thuds halts me. It sounds as if it has come from the closed and locked front door. I look back. Paused, Brother Matthew looks towards the door too.
"A strange way to knock." Brother Matthew gives me a questioning look.
"Open up, in the name of King Henry!" The muffled male voice from the other side of door has great authority.
"I had better see what this man wants." Brother Matthew places his pile of candles on a nearby chest with care.
More pounding, another shout. "Open up, I say!"
"Wait, Matthew. We should seek help." My years give me caution. No, fear. Where once I would have opened the door on a dark evening to Satan himself, now I quail.
Brother Matthew gives me another of his sunny smiles. "Don't worry, Brother Cuthbert. It sounds like it's important. And be sure, I'll send them on their way if not. You carry on back to the stores."
But I don't. I don't know why I stand in the shadows and watch as Matthew slides the thick metal bolt and opens the tall, heavy door.
The light from our lit candles spills out. Standing there is a group of knights, I don't know how many. All with weapons drawn.
Matthew pulls in a breath, but does not falter, does not step back, does not try to save himself. Instead, he raises a courageous hand. "No. You cannot enter this place." He gestures for them to stand back.
Then as I hold the door handle, hold it as my legs threaten to give from under me, the biggest one, a monster with a scarred face, pulls back his huge broadsword and plunges it into Matthew.
The blade slices clean through him. It emerges from his back, stained with his blood. He makes no sound, doubles over and falls to the ground as the monster pulls it back out of him. They all surge over him, these demons that have come this night.
The hall echoes under their surging steps. Then one, one with unnatural blue eyes, speeds up. Speeds up towards me as I shudder uselessly in the gloom.
"You there!" His axe is raised.
He stops before me. "Take us to the Archbishop. At once."
I haul my gaze from the raised weapon to poor Matthew, lying in a pool of his own blood across the threshold.
I cross myself, but whether it is for his soul or for my own, I do not know. "What errand of the devil are you on? We are all men of God in here. No-one will fight you, sir knight."
My old, foolish voice trembles out, shows my terror. The knight brings the blade to my throat. I feel its keen edge against my quivering flesh and I know he could take my head in an eye-blink. "Take us to Thomas Becket. Now. Or you can join your young friend in Paradise."
I should have Matthew's courage, I should. But I don't. I point a foolish, shaking finger to the passage that leads to the Archbishop's rooms.
The knight removes his weapon from my pulsing neck, indicates for the others to follow him to my lord Becket.
My breath escapes me, rattling and wheezing in my chest as if it is my last.
Another of the demons, a stocky red-bearded man, yanks me to my tip-toes by the front of my robe.
I stare into his hard eyes, his thick red beard half-concealing his sneer.
"Paradise not so appealing when you think you're going there, eh?"
He is so close, his spit mists my face. "Please, have mercy." I beg like a maid.
"Put him down," comes the order from the blue-eyed one. "We have a task to finish."
My head meets the red and black tiles. As I open my mouth to cry out in pain, a savage boot lands in my ribs. I feel some go, my thin old bones shattering in agony. I writhe on the ground, trying to breathe but trying not to, as pain overcomes me.
"All yours, Palmer." Red-beard's feet move away.
Like a dying fish, I look up at a tall, dark young knight. Dear Christ, his powerful legs and feet could finish me off. I try to jerk away but he simply bows his head and moves on.
They go. They all go, their murderous shouts fading. They will go to do what other evil, I don't know. But I'm alive.
I try to rise to my feet but the pain grips me harder. I manage to get to my hands and knees. I crawl over to Matthew. The cold tiles under my palms are warm and sticky with his pooled blood as I near him.
I grasp him by one shoulder to turn his face up. He is so heavy, so dreadfully heavy. It is the weight of death. I knew that already but my agonized touch confirms it. His blue eyes, the ones that lit with his easy smile, are blank and empty. His ruddy cheeks, his healthy, placid, kind face now an empty pale mask.
I stroke his hair and my keening cries spark fresh agony in my chest. I do not care. This man, this young man, had only ever offered me his friendship, his spiritual friendship, just as our beloved Aelred says we should do. He gave me his help, but made it seem like I was helping him. And because he was young, I had resented him, despised him. He'd accepted my bad humor with the best of grace, fulfilling his vows in every moment he looked after me.
It should have been me. I should have gone to that door. I should have had courage as he had, faith that whatever happened, was in Christ's hands. But I didn't.
And now my old, broken bones live on, while he is no more. My heart is broken too.

Who was Aelred of Rievaulx?
In The Fifth Knight, we see Sister Theodosia Bertrand (the young nun cloistered in Canterbury Cathedral) draw on the teachings of the great Aelred of Rievaulx for spiritual guidance. He is also of huge importance to Brother Cuthbert, the monk in the book who witnesses the arrival of the knights at Canterbury.
Aelred was one of the great monastic educators and teachers in early medieval times. He was born around 1110 into a good family with aristocratic connections. When he was about fifteen, he was sent to the court of the King of Scots as part of the fosterage system that existed at the time for upper class families. Though Aelred was successful at Court, he still longed to fulfill an emerging vocation to join the Church. He was hugely drawn to the religious life and struggled with this up to his early twenties. While on a mission to York on behalf of the archbishop at the time, Aelred encountered a new monastery at Rievaulx. After a night's deliberation, he offered himself as a monk at its gates. Aelred's calling to the religious life was never in doubt. He rose to become Abbot of Rievaulx and doubled it in size. He wrote many important texts on faith and spirituality. He also traveled extensively across Britain and France, supervising the setting up of new monasteries. One of Aelred's greatest written works is 'Spiritual Friendship', where he writes of the value of 'the love of friendship.' He insists on the importance of the love of friends, making it as important as the love of God.
This is a remarkable world view for someone who lived over 900 years ago. I believe Brother Matthew in Cuthbert's story, held it too.
The Fifth Knight by E.M. Powell
Publication Date: January 22, 2013
Thomas & Mercer Publishing
Paperback; 390p
To escape a lifetime of poverty, mercenary Sir Benedict Palmer agrees to one final, lucrative job: help King Henry II's knights seize the traitor Archbishop Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. But what begins as a clandestine arrest ends in cold-blooded murder. And when Fitzurse, the knights' ringleader, kidnaps Theodosia, a beautiful young nun who witnessed the crime, Palmer can sit silently by no longer. For not only is Theodosia's virtue at stake, so too is the secret she unknowingly carries—a secret he knows Fitzurse will torture out of her. Now Palmer and Theodosia are on the run, strangers from different worlds forced to rely only on each other as they race to uncover the hidden motive behind Becket's grisly murder—and the shocking truth that could destroy a kingdom.

Research Interests
Research Interests Molly E. Brown, PhD My research contributes to NASA's mission: 'to advance and communicate scientific knowledge and understanding of the earth, the solar system, and the universe'. Two NASA earth science questions are at the center of my work: 'How does the earth system respond to natural and human-induced changes?' and 'What are the consequences of change in the earth system for human civilization?' To explore these questions, I conduct research in four areas: data fusion to develop long term data records of vegetation dynamics for carbon cycle and terrestrial ecosystem modeling; research to develop science data and analysis for societal applications; modeling of land cover and land use in the context of climate variability; and the development of models and methods that enable the quantification of the impact of climate change on human economic and political systems. Ongoing projects include:
- Developing new methods to integrate remote sensing data into econometric and food security models to improve the understanding of the effect of weather and climate on society;
- Improving methods to fuse remote sensing data observations of vegetation from multiple sensors;
- Working with local, national and international organizations to incorporate Earth science data and models to improve hazard early warning and understand of the threats of climate change;
- Communicating the impacts of climate change and variability to private and government land managers in Maryland, particularly on forest resources.

osisID/annotateRef error
I'm using osis2mod (succesfully now, thanks to help from this forum) to create a sword module. However I get the following error now that I'm trying to decipher (there were others but they've been solved):
You are running osis2mod: $Rev: 2435 $
ERROR(REF): Invalid osisID/annotateRef:
I'm guessing that I have a conflict between certain elements... Not sure which ones though! I'm working on a commentary. Any ideas?
|Posted by Johann at Nov 10, 2009 2:25:26 PM
Re: osisID/annotateRef error
Never mind :) Figured it out.
|Posted by dmsmith at Nov 13, 2009 4:59:54 AM
Re: osisID/annotateRef error
If you'd give your solution, it might help others that hit the same error message.
If the error message is misleading or insufficient, I can make it clearer.

Re: osisID/annotateRef error
Hi, it's been a while since I got the error so I don't remember exactly what the solution was. I believe it was a conflict that arose because I was trying to use commentary-style annotateRef arguments and the verse osisID formatting at the same time. The solution was to be consistent with only one style.
I think :)

Golden Delicious Oatmeal
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 10 mins
Another goodie with oatmeal. UPDATE:12/05. I have changed the amount of servings to one instead of two. I was thinking about the amount I eat with my protein shake, instead of what the general public would probably eat.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄3 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1⁄2 cup golden delicious apple, cored, unpared, diced
- 1⁄3 cup water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh grated
- 1⁄3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
- Combine all but the oatmeal in saucepan.
- Bring to a boil.
- Stir in oats and cook 1 minute.
- Cover and let stand several minutes, then serve.
Most Helpful
Nutritious, fast and tasty - what more can you ask for on a weekday morning? :) I slightly increased the amounts, 'cause I *really* like my oatmeal, and this recipe makes me glad I did. It's a great way to get in your morning's whole grains and fruit - I eat the rest of the apple as the oatmeal cooks, and then breakfast is ready! Thanks for posting.
Delcious! This didn't even need any sugar because it had so much taste to it! I didn't make any changes, it was perfect! Thanks for the recipe Happy Harry #2!
Pretty good oatmeal recipe. Definitely not enough for 2 servings though, it wasn't quite as much as I like for 1 serving. Nice taste and texture though. Thanks Harry!

I love photo's of forests in any way shape or form. This picture makes me want to run through them and find a quiet and lovely place to sit and draw or read. It's absolutly beautiful!
I see that a lot of your pictures focus around the beauty and radiance of trees. I respect that, I've always found trees to be quite interesting. Keep up the good work!, I'd love to see more!
Why do i need to become a member :/ fuck you too.

Tankersley Manor - QHotels
We were disappointed with the location, it appears to be on big grounds/gardens in its photos, advertisements.
However we were greeted by a big car park and a hotel resembling a posh premier inn. Staff were lovely and friendly. Rooms very basic, not even a spare pillow. No milk sachets and only enough coffee for one cup each. Just expected a little more luxury for a 4 star place that looks amazing in its pictures. Breakfast was great, so much choice, very fresh and hot.
VERY Disappointed on our second night to go down to the bar for a drink to be told to read the sign on the door which said diners only!. Not enough tables if we weren't ordering food!. How very Rude when it is a bar. We enjoyed our stay and really don't like to complain but in all honesty very disappointing!

bad, or ugly) is welcome. I've also gotten fairly far on a prototype

before it is presentable.

things in the works. Zero Dice has been updated to include Fate and
regular dice. I created a one page version of The Trouble with Rose,

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has issued summons to the accused in the case pertaining to the purchase of the Progas Pakistan Limited (PPL) assets by the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL), which caused a huge loss to the national kitty, sources told Daily Times on Sunday.
Sources further revealed that the former managing director of the SSGCL Azim Iqbal Siddique and the incumbent MD, Zohair Siddique misled the gas utility company board by saying that the PPL assets purchase would lead to a profit of Rs 1,600 million in the financial year 2011-12. The management of the SSGCL, including Zuhair Siddique MD, Yousaf J Ansari, Syed Arslan Iqbal, Irafan Zafar, Rahat Kamal, Azam Akhtar, Madni Arfat, Shahid Jaffery, Usman and former SSGCL MD Azim Iqbal Siddique besides Abass Hyder Bilgrammi chief executive PPL, Muhammad Tenvir Makhdomi, Ghalib Jalees Secretary PPL and Dr Ali Allawi Member and Debenture of PPL were summoned by the federal watchdog for further interrogation and investigation the sources added.
Similarly, NAB has recorded the statements of PPL Director Umer Saboor, Arslan Iqbal Abbass GM Finance SSGCL, Abbass Bilgrami of PPL and Sohail Qureshi of SLL, a subsidiary of the SSGCL, the sources said. The PPL owners have initiated arbitration proceedings against the government on the grounds that due to the interference and policies of some government organisations, the PPL was rendered unable to carry on a profitable business of LPG in Pakistan. That the policies of government had an effect equivalent to nationalisation or expropriation of the assets and investments of PPL the sources added.
Earlier, the NAB had initiated an inquiry into the lease, liquidation and purchase of bank defaulter PPL company assets by the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited management, which entered into a over $550 million deal without considering colossal financial blow to the national kitty. On the directives of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif the federal watchdog has kicked off investigation against the officials of the SSGCL who managed the purchase of PPL in connivance with its chief executive, Abass Haider Bilgrami, without any due diligence, sources added.
According to sources, the PPL assets were purchased in 2011 by the SSGCL management while ignoring the fact that in 2010 the owner of the PPL had served a legal notice on the federation of Pakistan. In its legal notice the company, through its lawyers, has alleged that the government in contravention of its promises of de-regulation of the LPG sector, the government and its regulator, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) intervened to manipulate LPG pricing for the advantage of local LPG companies, the sources added.
According to reports, the SSGCL management purchased the Progas assets as sole bidder and paid Rs 2.5 billion to the banks which have the decree against it as a defaulter gas company while accepting the self-tailored evaluation by the Progas owners that the value of the company assets is around Rs 6 billion against secured and unsecured liabilities of Rs 2 billion in May 2011 the sources further said.

The driver leaves the braking to the last possible moment, and decelerates from 250km/h to 80km/h in a distance of 80m (whilst in a straight line). How many G's has the Superkart and driver experienced ? Thanks, Chris.

Thanks to the proliferation of film, comic-book and cartoon characters, companies are bombarding consumers with an incredible selection of action figures. With tongue in cheek, let"s take a peek at some of the specimens worthy of a place in Zad"s Toy Vault.
Captain Benjamin Sisko
Diamond Select Toys continues to boldly go where pop-culture product-makers have already gone before with a new series of action figures based on the television series "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."
Even though the Trekkie fan base has shrunk considerably, the company has teamed up with design powerhouse Art Asylum to offer multiarticulated, 7-inch-tall gems of Lt. Cmdr. Jadzia Dax, Lt. Ezri Dax, Constable Odo and the head honcho of the outpost tasked with guarding the Bajoran wormhole.
Figure profile: According to the packaging: "Assigned to command an outpost on the edge of Federation space, Commander Benjamin Sisko's destiny was forever altered by his discovery of the Bajoran wormhole, the only stable wormhole known to exist in the galaxy."
Responsible for exploring the new gateway to the Gamma Quadrant, Sisko and his crew are the last line of defense against any number of threats: Cardassians, the Dominion, Pah-wraiths and untold others.
Accessories: With a near-perfect head sculpt of actor Avery Brooks, the figure is smartly dressed in his season five and later Starfleet Uniform, highlighted down to immaculately shined boots, and has 16 points of articulation. He also gets a PADD (hand-held computer), a detailed phaser rifle, a type 2 phaser, a baseball cap (fondly remembered from the episode "Take Me Out to the Holosuite") and mounted baseball.
Price: $9.99.
Read all about it: IDW Publishing holds the "Star Trek" sequential-art publishing rights and has only hinted at a "Deep Space Nine" series for release — maybe — later this year. Those looking for DS9 comics have a couple of options. Hunt for trade paperbacks (about $10) from the British publisher Boxtree (compiling the Malibu Comics' monthly series from the mid-1990s). Or seek out DC Comics' four-part limited series N-Vector, compiled into the "Star Trek: Other Realities" ($12.99) trade paperback.
What's it worth? The market is small but rabid for these well-designed and -equipped Trek figures. However, I expect things to heat up quickly around the holidays with the release of the new "Star Trek" film, which will expose a new generation of fans to the sci-fi franchise.
Leia as Boushh
Sideshow Collectibles continues to give "Star Wars" fans a reason to spend money with the release of more 12-inch dolls. Based on moments from the six space-fantasy movies, the latest figures pay tribute to the Heroes of the Rebellion. A few of the legends represented include Bespin Luke, "A New Hope's" Ben Kenobi, Padme Amidala and Princess Leia, a lady who even would dress up as a bounty hunter for her man.
Profile: According to the packaging: "Princess Leia Organa, disguised as an Ubese tracker named Boushh, travels to Tatooine, with Chewbacca as her apparent prisoner, in an attempt to free a carbonite encased Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt's desert palace."
Price: $59.99.
Accessories: As with all of Sideshow's 12-inch masterpieces, detailed cloth costuming and well-researched accessories make the doll.
In the case of Leia, she gets a soft pleather wardrobe highlighted by traditional Ubese boots, an Ogygian cloak and an impact armor mantle. Especially impressive are the spiked, gloved extension on the undershirt, pleated pants and weathered jacket. In the category of stuff, she gets an electrostaff weapon, canister packs and, of course, a thermal detonator. A display base and reusable packaging adorned with information, scenes from the film and a magnetic lid complete the set.
Note: Leia also comes with a second head with a detailed Boushh helmet permanently attached. Owners should be careful when changing the heads with the body. Make sure you don't damage or bend the torso's connector pin. It's a tight fit and can be a daunting task.
Read all about it: Dark Horse Comics reprints Marvel Comics' original sequential-art adaptation of the famed movie in its trade paperback "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi — The Special Edition" ($9.95). The book also includes 30 pages of sketches from the film's pre-production artists.
What's it worth: Artist Andy Bergholtz almost perfectly captures the head sculpt of a very serious-looking Carrie Fisher. This artistic vision, along with the price point and fine costuming, should keep Leia in a display case and not a bedroom toy bin.
Strange but cool
A short look at bizarre products with a pop-culture twist.
• "Spider-Man 3" Minimates (Diamond Select Toys, $6.99 for each two-pack).
These 2.5-inch figures with interchangeable parts offer a blocky tribute to last year's sequential-art-inspired blockbusters. Available in three two-packs — Transformation Spider-Man and Venom; Unmasked Black Suit Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy; and Battle Damage Spider-Man & Sandman — this 18th series of Minimates will please any Web-slinger fan.
Highlights to the minifigures (larger than Legos and way more detailed) include a removable face cover and hairpiece for the Unmasked Spidey, black web detail that pops out of Transformation Spider-Man's chest and a Sandman with extra-large fists posed in a pile of his favorite substance.
• AT-AP Walker (Lego, $39.99).
Devotees of the "Star Wars" universe are just 392 buildable pieces away from admiring a fully functional All Terrain-Attack Pod featured in the movie "Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith." Eight inches tall and packaged with a pair of mini Shocktroopers, the vehicle features opening top and side hatches to access the driver area, a retractable third leg, a heavy mounted cannon and a rotating blaster cannon.
An ambitious 8-year-old will take about four hours to construct the pop-culture piece, while help from dad probably can cut the project time in half.
This kit works great in tandem with Lego's Battle Packs ($9.99 each), which include Droids (with seven minifigures and transport carrier) and Clone Troopers (with four minifigures and speeder bike) to create the beginnings of a Clone War.

Ex-Sullivan legislator Dave Sager fired from social services post
MONTICELLO – Former legislator David Sager was fired Wednesday as deputy commissioner of Sullivan County's Department of Family Services, less than six months after being hired.
Sager posted a statement on his Facebook page claiming he was fired Wednesday afternoon "without warning or explanation."
"I am both saddened and perplexed by the unexpected nature of this action, and in the coming days I intend to do all I can to get to the bottom of this," Sager wrote.
Legislature Chairman Scott Samuelson said the decision was solely made by Division of Health and Family Services Commissioner Randy Parker, who hired Sager for the $76,000-a-year position.
"The commissioner made a decision and carried it through," Samuelson said. "The only thing I know is that he was having problems and he wanted to be supported in his decision."

The methods on this class are redundant and inflexible as they are static - the principal from the authentication should just be passed directly to the SessionRegistry, allowing the implementation to interpret it as it wishes. Likewise, the "obtainSessionId..." method should be art of ConcurrentSessionControllerImpl. The error message for a missing authentication "details" object should also be improved.
I've removed the class and inlined the methods. This also means that the actual principal object will be used as the key into the map (normally a UserDetails object). This could be useful when accessing the SessionRegistry for other purposes (e.g. in a UI). It also means that in cases where the username in the object is not unique (e.g. because there is an additional "company" field, for example, which differentiates between them) then there will be no danger of users overwriting each other's data (provided equals and hashcode methods are properly implemented).
