West Ham beat Tottenham 2-0 on Saturday to make it three wins from three against their London rivals this term and end any relegation fears.
Sam Allardyce's men won twice at White Hart Lane earlier this season, in the Premier League and League Cup, and were dominant for large spells on this occasion against a Spurs side reduced to 10 men during the first half.
After a reasonably open start to proceedings, Younes Kaboul was sent off after 25 minutes for bringing down Stewart Downing as the winger bore down on goal.
Things got worse for Tim Sherwood when an Andy Carroll header deflected in off Harry Kane just two minutes later and, on the stroke of half-time, Downing scored his first goal for West Ham with a free-kick from the edge of the area.
The result dents sixth-placed Spurs' hopes of securing UEFA Europa League football for next season.
West Ham, meanwhile, are guaranteed another campaign in the top flight, with a first win in five providing a welcome boost to manager Allardyce, who has been the subject of regular criticism from his own fans of late.
Carroll caused the visiting defence problems early on but it was Emmanuel Adebayor at the other end who should have opened the scoring.
After Christian Eriksen cleverly played him in, the Spurs forward side-footed a tame effort straight at Adrian.
Guy Demel almost profited from Carroll's aerial presence to strike the crossbar with a mis-hit strike on the turn.
Spurs then appeared to have little reason for complaint as Kaboul bundled over Downing just outside the area and was sent off.
Carroll's free-kick forced Hugo Lloris to make a smart stop and the England international helped open the scoring from the resulting corner, with his header clipping Kane and looping over Tottenham's goalkeeper to cap off a woeful few minutes for the visitors.
West Ham piled on the pressure for the remainder of the half and another foul on the edge of the box led to their second goal.
Mark Noble was brought down by Michael Dawson before Downing converted the free-kick, with Lloris likely to be disappointed with the lack of protection offered by his wall.
Mohamed Diame found the target with an overhead kick shortly after the break, while Nolan was also thwarted by a busy Lloris.
The introduction of Roberto Soldado and Sandro had little effect as Tottenham struggled to find a way back into the game, with the former spurning two half-chances.
Adrian made a fine save to deny Danny Rose in injury time, but West Ham were all but assured of victory by then and Sherwood's men could now find themselves pipped to the final Europa League place by Manchester United.

EfficientLegal Representation Is Crucial In Financial Cases
Financial offenses are different from many the rest in the legal structure. Even though several people today who happen to be charged with these kinds of offenses have to spend some time in prison, the best consequences happen to be linked to the injury to the defendant's name. As soon as accused of an offense linked to mismanagement or perhaps theft involving client funds, an offender is going to find it difficult earning the faith of consumers or even employers.
It's great for somebody who will be faced with a white collar crime to get hold of a
palm beach jail search
as quickly as possible. An attorney might make clear the offense and also the potential fees and penalties of the criminal offense. It's essential to begin arranging a strategy without delay to get the best chance to sometimes avoid legal charges or even solve all of them with the cheapest charges probable.
In many cases, a legal professional just might negotiate a binding agreement immediately with all the prosecutor well before a case. If a trial is needed, an individual faced with a corporate crime could possibly steer clear of serving a jail time period using the professional services of a qualified white collar criminal defense lawyer or attorney. Attempting to resolve most of these charges without an experienced lawyer or attorney basically doesn't sound right. Fiscal criminal acts are actually sophisticated and many people are struggling to stand for on their own successfully. Speaking to a lawyer who has successfully
litigated organizational
cases can give a defendant perception and let them make smart selections.

Title: Problems with Ashe juniper from Lakeway TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Dear Sir/Madam, I have been living for the last three years in Lakeway, Texas approximately 20 miles west of Austin. In my back garden there are several ashe junipers about 15-20ft tall. However, I am most concerned about the one in the center of the garden which is about 30-35ft tall. There are green needles only on the upper third of the tree due, I believe, to the age of the tree. It is the only one in the past month that has developed a wide spread of brown clumps of needles that have begun to fall to the ground. I cannot ascertain if this is symptomatic of its growth, if it is diseased or if it has been traumatized. Last month a major storm snapped off a couple of huge limbs which had to be sawed off. It was after this incidence that I became aware of the falling clumps of needles. I would be most appreciative if you could tell me if I should be concerned about the health of the tree and what measures, if any, I should take.
Here is a previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer on browning of Juniperus ashei (Ashe juniper) due to drought. It has been very dry in Central Texas this year, although it is raining outside as we speak, but it sounds like you may have other problems in your tree. We are particularly concerned about the storm damage and removed limbs. If the area of the trunk where the branches were sawed off were not treated with pruning paint, there might have been the possibility of some disease or damaging insect gaining access to the vascular system in the tree through those wounds.
From Texas A&M Forest Service, we found this article on the juniper webworm, the symptoms of which sound very similar to what you are reporting. In fact, Lakeway, in Travis County, is mentioned in this article:
"The author thanks Carrie Burns, forester for the City of Lakeway; Eric Beckers, oak wilt forester for the Texas A&M Forest Service; and Ron Billings, principal entomologist with the Texas A&M Forest Service for information and photos included in this report."
This report was written in 2002, but the fact that the forester for the City of Lakeway did a report on this problem is an indication that the insect is around in your area. Another problem that we learned of is juniper blight, which we researched in an article from Clemson University Extension. This did not sound that specific to the problems you discuss, and we also learned that juniper blight was more apt to occur east of the Mississippi, so that may not be your situation, but we still recommend you read the whole article and look for similarities.
We are inclined, purely on symptomatic results, to believe the juniper webworm is your problem and hope you will study that whole article, too. However, we are not entomologists and recommend you contact the Texas A&M AgriLIFE Extension Office for Tarrant County to see if they have some updated infomation on the problem. Here are some pictures and more information on the juniper webworm.
The pictures below are from our native plant Image Gallery. With the exception of the first picture, they are all showing normal growth. Unfortunately, we have no information on what caused the browning in the first picture.

The present invention relates to the art of placing lawn debris and other trash in bags. More specifically, the invention relates to a device for holding and supporting a plastic bag in an open position which may be used in the yard or garage. In addition, the device eliminates the need for stooping and lifting debris by providing an open mouth of the bag at ground level. The device may be easily moved about by using a handle provided thereon. A support device is also provided to steady the device while debris is being deposited in the bag.
Heretofore, there have been various means for holding plastic bags in an open position. These have not been entirely satisfactory in the securement of the bag to the device and in the stability of the device.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,805,858 discloses a frame device adapted to hold a refuse bag in an open position. The refuse bag is held on the frame by a cord. The frame includes a channel into which the cord is received. One side of the frame includes a stake to enable the frame to be anchored and support the frame in a vertical position. The vertical frame then permits refuse or lawn debris to be raked into the bag.
This device has several shortcomings. It is difficult to move about the area to be cleaned, requires the stake to be inserted into the ground and does not provide a handle for carrying.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,615,743 discloses a U-shaped tubular frame which is flexible to adjust to variations in bag size. The bag is held on the frame by friction which may be enhanced by providing particulate matter such as sand on the frame. This frame appears to be unstable and not readily moveable from sight to sight.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,775,123 discloses a frame for supporting a bag in a manner such that refuse may be swept in or dropped in. The device includes a wall mounted bracket for hanging the bag in a vertical position. The frame includes an improved manner of attaching the bag to the frame including pulling a "tail" of the bag through a finger hold and securing the tail in a notch.
This device does not appear to be stable and does not include a handle.
The present invention provides a stable frame member to which a bag may be quickly attached, can be easily moved and maybe mounted to a wall.
The present invention provides an improved bag holding device which is portable and easily and securely holds the bag on the frame.
In a preferred embodiment, the frame is provided in a generally D-shaped configuration with a straight portion adapted to be the support base. An elastic band is attached to the frame and securely attaches the mouth of the bag to the frame. A handle is provided so that the frame and bag may be easily moved about. Finally, a foot support is provided which holds the frame steady while raking material into the bag.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel bag holding apparatus which is simple and affective.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a stable frame member which holds the bag mouth open.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which does not have the tendency to have the bag dislodged during normal use.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which is portable and securable to a wall.
The above and further objects, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a bag holding apparatus with a bag thereon in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates a front view of a bag holding apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-section view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 illustrates a bottom view of a bag holding apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 5 illustrates the relationship between the strap, rim and bag.
As shown in FIG. 1, the bag holding apparatus is designated generally by the numeral 10. The apparatus is designed to accommodate 33 gallon or larger bags and includes a generally D-shaped frame member 11, a handle 12, an elastic strap 13, an attachment means 13' and a footpad 14.
The frame member 11 includes a base 15 and upper rounded portion 16. The base 15 is of a sufficient width such that the apparatus 10 will stand without outside support. Base 15 may optionally include a beveled edge or be curved downwardly to make loading of the bag easier. Footpad 14 is provided to permit a user of the apparatus a means to secure the frame 11 in place while refuse or debris is being inserted or raked through the frame into a bag 30. Pad 14 is offset from the base 15 by extension 17 which includes cut-out 18 to permit passage of strap 13 around the apparatus.
Handle 12 is attached to the forward side of the frame 11 with a rearwardly extending grasping portion.
As best seen in FIG. 5, the rear side of the frame 11 includes a rolled or curled rim 21 and forms a channel. Rim 21 engages with the bag mouth and cooperates with strap 13 to secure the bag to the frame. Rim 21 also provides a means for securing strap 13 to the frame. Portions 20 comprise strap securement means and show where the rim 21 has been further bent to "pinch" and thus secure strap 13 between the rim 21 and frame 11. The strap securement means may comprise other well known means for securing a strap such as rivets, etc.
Strap 13 is preferably a one piece elastic strap with reinforced holes 20 at each end. The strap 13 is of sufficient length such that each end may be attached at means 13' and extend around the upper member 16 and base 15. The strap 13, when fully extended and fastened at means 13', acts to secure the mouth of bag 30 to apparatus 10. The ends of strap 13 are secured to means 13' by placing means 13' in the holes 20.
The handle 12 provides the apparatus 10 with the capability of being easily moved about. This "dustpan feature" permits the apparatus to be used in a manner similar to a person using a broom and dustpan. Handle 12 may also be employed to fasten the apparatus to extend outwardly from a wall (not shown). A bracket or eye hook adapted to receive handle 12 would be mounted to a wall at a height to permit the bag 30 to reach the ground.
Footpad 14 provides a means for holding the apparatus steady without using the handle 12. In use, after the apparatus has been moved to the desired location, a user would place a foot on pad 14 while sweeping or raking material into the bag 30. Even though frame 11 is designed to be stable and stand upright, the act of pushing material into the apparatus may cause the apparatus to fall over. Thus, pad 14, when stood upon, is a means for stabilizing the apparatus for the insertion of material or refuse. One advantage of this type of stabilizing device is that the apparatus does not have to be modified if it is desired to hand the frame from a bracket mounted to a wall. Preferably, the user places their toes against the frame 11 while raking material into the device.
As best seen in FIG. 5, the bag 30 is secured to the apparatus 10, and more specifically, to upper curve member 16, by placing the mouth of the bag 30 over the rim 21 and attaching strap 13 to means 13'. The bag 30 is thus secured by the strap 13 which provides a clamping force. In addition, strap 13 naturally fits beneath rim 21 into the channel and thus forcing bag 30 beneath rim 21 forming crease 25 in bag 30. The ends of the bag 30 may be folded over strap 13. Portions 20 prevent bag 30 from being secured beneath strap 13 under the base 15 and at the lower portions of upper member 16. However, the mouth of the bag is frictionally held onto the frame at these portions of the device.
The invention is characterized by extreme simplicity, economy of manufacturing, durability and convenience of use. Its uncomplicated nature and ready attachability and removal of a refuse bag renders the invention practical where much of the known prior art has proven to be impractical.
Although there has been described what is at present considered to be preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be understood that various modifications and variations maybe made therein, and it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

'I got my taxi back and saved £20,000 thanks to a simple app': What to do if your smartphone is lost or stolen
Losing a mobile phone is painful – without adequate insurance it will cost hundreds of pounds to replace most smartphone handsets and if you can't afford the heavy price tag then you're stuck paying the remainder of an 18 or 24 month contract.
And even if you have mobile cover you could find yourself liable for thousands of pounds worth of calls if the thieves use your phone.
The loss of a smartphone also poses a risk to your security. Many users treat their mobile as a portable password bank, holding details to online banking, email, social networks and even PIN numbers.
Crime: Mobile phone thefts have been blamed for an 8 per cent increase of personal thefts in England and Wales during the last year, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics
Mobile phone thefts have been blamed for an 8 per cent increase of personal thefts in England and Wales during the last year, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics
And with more than 10,000 phones are stolen every month in the greater London area according to the Metropolitan Police, mobile users need to make sure their data is protected.
Protecting your phone
Register your phone at www.immobilise.com. This recommended by the police and will mean your phone is logged on a database that is then used to alert the second-hand trade if you report it stolen. Perhaps of most use is that registration will speed up insurance claims and police reports because it helps prove your ownership of the handset.
- Use your phone's security lock code or PIN.
- Keep a separate record of your electronic serial number (ESN) and consider separate insurance.
- Some phones have an IMEI number which your insurer to may need to process a claim. Providers might require it to lock your phone if it's stolen. Keep a record of this in a safe place. You can obtain this number by typing *#06# (star hash 06 hash) into your mobile phone and it will display a 15 digit number.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket
It's common sense - do not keep bank details or PIN codes saved on your phone. Make sure you delete any information from your phone to ensure that you're protected, this could mean deleting text messages that include such details.
If your phone is stolen
You should report a lost or stolen phone to the police immediately. You should also inform your service provider and your insurance firm as soon as possible.
Your provider will be able to place a bar or block on your SIM to stop calls being made on your account. Your provider can also stop anyone else from using your phone by blocking its IMEI.

Taxi driver Rob McNamara, 34, had his taxi stolen while working late on a Friday evening in February when he nipped into shop to buy a soft drink, leaving the vehicle unlocked.
For Rob, who lives in Birmingham, this was potentially devastating because he relies on the vehicle to work – his quick-thinking helped him recover not only his taxi, worth £18,000, but his mobile phone, iPod and satellite navigation system.
Luckily he had previously downloaded a free location and security app, called Lookout, on to his his HTC One smartphone which helped him find out the location of his taxi almost immediately.
Lucky: Rob used a smartphone app to trace his phone and help recover his taxi - saving him a potential £20,000.
He said: 'Once I'd picked up my jaw from the floor I rang the Police and went home.
'By the time I got home the police were already there. I logged into the Lookout website and immediately found the location of my phone and taxi.
'The police radioed through and sent out some officers – my taxi was found within an hour of it being stolen, fully intact.'
But some of his possessions, including his phone, were still missing. The next day he logged into the security app's website again and found the items were in the same place that his car had been found.
Once he was there Rob used another feature of the app, called 'scream', which makes his phone play a siren. This meant he could find his phone, iPod and satellite navigation system, which were hidden underneath a nearby bush.
Ah-ha! The app that Rob used to recover his phone is called Lookout. He was able to recover his possessions within an hour of them being stolen.
The insurance for his taxi would have meant that he was covered for the theft but the app helped him avoid a massive inconvenience and potentially saved him £20,000 - the total value of his car and possessions.
He said: 'I like to keep up-to-date with the latest gadgets and "boys toys" and when a friend told me about phone security apps I looked online to find one - it helped me recover all my things within an hour of them being stolen.'
The Lookout app is available to download on Android and iOS (iPhone and iPad) operating systems for free. It includes a locate and 'scream' function.
A premium version of the app, costing £1.99 a month or £19.99 a year, also includes a safe browsing function – to protect against phishing attacks – as well as a remote lock and wipe service.

Further delay on upgrade to SH2
Relevant offers
Work on upgrading State Highway 2 between Woodville and Dannevirke may not finish until late next year, a further delay for the troubled project.
The news comes just days after one headache for motorists travelling between Manawatu and Hawke's Bay was relieved slightly with the announcement the Manawatu Gorge would reopen to one-way traffic within a month.
What was originally slated as a $10.9m project on SH2 hit a road block when construction firm Hurlestone Earthmoving folded in July.
Work began in October 2010 but stalled until Fulton Hogan was awarded the tender in December for the remaining work.
The total cost of the upgrade, which includes straightening a section of road, a new bridge over Mangaatua Stream and a new rail underpass at Papatawa, is now estimated at $12.6m. NZ Transport Agency regional state highways manager David McGonigal said work on the Papatawa section of the realignment was "on track to finish late next year".
The project was originally to be completed by later this year.
But work at Papatawa was now going "full steam ahead", Mr McGonigal said.
"Contractors are working to finish laying the new road surface at the southern end of the project.
"Throughout winter motorists will be driving on a fully sealed road surface and physical work will resume again when the construction season begins later this year."
At the Corby curves, the last 600 metres of new pavement was being prepared for sealing and would be finished this month, weather permitting.
Mr McGonigal said about 35,000 cubic metres of material from the Manawatu Gorge slip had been used on the SH2 work, saving about $160,000.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Backupify, the leading provider of online backup services for cloud application data, today launched "Backupify Winter Release 2012," the new version of its backup and recovery solution for enterprises using Google Apps. Designed to better meet the needs of larger organizations that have more complex internal structures, legal requirements and subdomains, Backupify for Google Apps now provides customers with a strong set of administrative control features and a centralized interface for managing their business-critical data stored in the cloud.
The Winter Release delivers on Backupify's promise of incorporating new features based on customer feedback during the initial launch of the Enterprise Edition of Backupify for Google Apps in August. With larger organizations receiving automated backups three times per day, Backupify has remained committed to providing enterprise-level organizations with the industry's most trustworthy and comprehensive backup and restore solution.
"This year Google Apps in the enterprise space has reached new heights and we'll continue to see enterprise-level organizations migrating to the cloud in increasing numbers," said Rob May, CEO and co-founder of Backupify. "Larger organizations like the Museum of Modern Art, the Financial Times, Jawbone, Park Hotels and Auberge Resorts, and leading academic institutions like Berklee College of Music and Rice University trust Backupify to safeguard their Google Apps data. As we work with these organizations to ensure they always have a secure second copy of their data, we've developed better tools that give more control to the administrator while managing multiple sets of daily backups."
Backupify for Google Apps now includes the following advanced data management and admin controls for enterprise organizations:
Multiple Administrator Management provides enterprise organizations with multiple administrators across different departments, business lines and locations with a central portal to manage a Backupify account. Now, a company can empower multiple Backupify Administrators to easily and securely add users, or initiate a restore or export on behalf of their end users.
Audit Logs provide a comprehensive audit log, which allows administrators to monitor all actions within their Backupify account, including those taken by both the administrator and end users. Each log entry includes action type, action description, username, IP address and timestamp.
Subdomain Management allows administrators to easily add and securely manage the backups for multiple Google Apps subdomains from one Backupify account, providing the three times daily backups to all existing accounts under the parent domain.
"Backupify makes it easy for our administrators to manage the growing number of Google Apps users and data within our organizational structure," said Dave Ouyang, IT Manager at leading residential solar company, Sungevity, Inc. "Our confidence in Backupify is based on its ongoing developments with Google Apps as Sungevity continues to grow. With Backupify, our mission critical data is always being backed up across the company no matter how many users we add to the cloud."
The new release comes on the heels of the company's rapid growth in 2012. With more than 5,000 paying business customers to date, Backupify reached the following milestones in the past six months:
- Grew data under management to more than 900TB
- Grew number of stored Gmail messages by 35 percent to 3 billion
- Grew number of documents backed up by 29 percent from 500 million to 700 million
- Added the one-millionth online account for backup; across the services that we support, Backupify is now backing up more than one million accounts in total

Backupify for Google Apps is available for larger organizations through two plans. The Enterprise Edition is $4 per month per user, which requires a minimum of 25 seats and includes unlimited storage. The Enterprise Plus Edition backs up an unlimited amount of users with up to one terabyte of data for $990 per month, with the option to buy additional storage as needed.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

The month saw fighting escalate again in Syria and Afghanistan, and erupt in Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenian-backed separatists and Azerbaijani forces. In Bangladesh, election violence and killings by extremist groups showed how new heights of government-opposition rivalry and state repression have benefitted violent political party wings and extremist groups alike. Political tensions intensified in Iraq and Macedonia, and security forces severely supressed opposition protests in the Republic of Congo and Gambia.
Nairobi, 29 April 2016 – The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) today launched its 2015 Annual Report website and print edition in all six UN languages. The report showcases many of UNEP's big results of the last year – from key work in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement to securing investor pledges to decarbonize $600 billion worth of assets under management – and zooms in on projects helping communities in countries like Colombia and Cambodia to adapt to climate change and develop sustainable livelihoods.
Projected Food Assistance Needs for October 2016
Syria: In recent weeks, clashes between Islamic State and other non-government forces over the border area between Turkey and Syria have intensified. IDPs in camps located along the border are at risk: over 35,000 have fled the area since 14 April and are in need of protection. Additional displacement is likely.
Increased rainfall forecast for dry areas in Guatemala and the Greater Horn of Africa

The Global Weather Hazards report anticipates severe weather or climate events in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Central Asia. This product provides maps with current weather and climate information; short and medium range weather forecasts (up to one week); and the potential impact on crop and pasture conditions. It does not reflect long range forecasts or food security conditions.
The month saw violent extremist movements, including the Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda-linked groups, carry out major deadly attacks in Turkey, Pakistan, Côte d'Ivoire, Tunisia and Belgium. In Libya, the arrival of Prime Minister Serraj in Tripoli despite warnings from multiple factions could lead to further destabilisation. Meanwhile in Central Africa, political violence rose in Burundi and could break out in Chad around the 10 April presidential election.
Drought develops over Afghanistan and Tajikistan; early season dryness in the Gulf of Guinea region
Africa Weather Hazards
The month saw conflict continue to rage in Turkey's south east between Ankara and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), looking likely to further escalate in March. Afghanistan and Somalia both saw armed insurgencies capture new territories. In Africa, political tensions rose in Chad, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, while in Venezuela, deadlock between the opposition-held parliament and government has brought the country closer to political and economic implosion.
Pakistan: Over 190 children have died and 22,000 have been hospitalised in Tharparkar district in 2016 because of drought-related waterborne and viral diseases. Tharparkar is facing severe drought for the fourth consecutive year, and access to health services is reported to be very difficult, with families travelling an average distance of 17km to reach the nearest health facility.
The month saw an intensification of Yemen's war, amid heightened regional rivalries between Saudi Arabia and Iran complicating prospects for peace. Political tensions increased in Haiti, Guinea-Bissau and Moldova, where protests over endemic corruption and a lack of confidence in the government could escalate. In Africa, Boko Haram's deadly attacks increased in northern Cameroon, and Burkina Faso was hit by an unprecedented terror attack.
Genetic diversity of livestock can help feed a hotter, harsher world
Despite growing interest in safeguarding biodiversity of livestock and poultry,genetic erosion continues
DRC: Violence between Hutu and Nande, in Miriki, Lubero, Nord-Kivu, allegedly over land, has left 17 dead and over 20,000 displaced. The displaced urgently need food and drinking water.
Iraq: In Ramadi and Hawija, Islamic State has stalled civilians' attempts to escape conflict zones and persecution. People from Hawija must trek for two days across mountainous terrain to reach safety: 60 people were reported to have died on the journey between November 2015 and January 2016.
Zimbabwe: A poor 2014/2015 harvest coupled with delayed onset of rains this cropping season have left 1.5 million people facing food insecurity from January through March 2016. Government maize stocks are dangerously low and humanitarian food assistance plans underfunded. Over 850,000 people urgently require assistance.

Snapshot 16–22 December 2015
Cameroon: 2.9 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. 2.4 million are in need of protection assistance, predominantly in the Far North Region. The government has reportedly urged men to join self-defence groups in the northern areas affected by Boko Haram. The same reports suggest the government has made provisions in its 2016 budget to support the self-defence groups.

Bullying: Why Zero-Tolerance Doesn't Work
When grown-ups realized bullying was a big, bad problem, they did what they usually do: they banned it. Zero-tolerance. Automatic suspension. Kids forced to sign contracts to report bullies. Now the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, an independent … Continue reading

Makes sense to me.
"You can't solve a problem by wishing it away. Or banning it. Or expressing zero-tolerance."
That quote should be sent to every lawmaker, legislator, policy maker, school official, and rule maker in the country. Too often, well-intentioned, but misguided and/ or lazy adults believe that simply passing a law will fix any problem that comes up.
Our local school district has typical anti-bullying policies that are as ineffectual as most.
Great Heather! As usual, you are right on! Kids have to learn what to do not just what not to do. Jan Waters

Makes sense to me!
I was astonished this weekend when at an overnight SCOUT camp all the children were told by the director NOT to run outdoors as they might trip and get hurt. I thought Scouting was supposed to be all about outdoor activity! On a similar note, a friend shared how her son's finger started bleeding at soccer practice after being hit by a ball (who would have thunk, at a soccer practice?) The hit aggravated a prior injury, which the 8-year old calmly explained. My friend, however, who had taken her other two children for a walk away from the field, subsequently received a stern notice that the soccer league was not a drop-off program, that coaches were not responsible (!) and parents were required to be in physical attendance at all times. For safety's sake, of course. Good grief.
I love this! I've pretended I didn't see "no running" signs in places where it made no sense to me to limit running. And since my kids can't yet read, they were none the wiser.
I also love the idea of teaching them how to fall, as well as teaching other safety skills (such as how to cross the street). But I'm not always sure of the best ways to do that teaching, or how to judge that the kids understand a skill well enough to tackle the next challenge (such as crossing the street alone).
I've read Gavin de Becker's "Protecting The Gift" and I'm familiar with (but need to revisit now that my kids are older) Free Range Kids. Do you have other good resources for helping parents give their kids the skills they need to take reasonable risks and assess which ones the kids are ready for?
Love your message and hope parents everywhere will see how it applies to academic challenges young children face as well. Teachers and parents need to create safe environments in which children can take risks in their pursuit of new knowledge and recognize how a perceived failure can fuel future success. It's not about the failing moment, be it a test or assignment or wrong answer in class. The most important thing is what we do and model after a failed experience that counts for that is often where true learning takes place, perseverance is learned and growth is possible. Adversity builds strength and confidence. In the words of Mary Poppins, we are all "perfectly imperfect". Thank you for sharing your message.
What types of play or experiences have you seen adults ban recently? Hmm, where do I start.
1. When my daughter was 18 months old, I was chided by a passer-by for letting my daughter play about two feet from a street trash can while waiting in a bus station. `What if she touches it?" (I'll wash her hands?)
2. When my daughter was 2 years old, I was forbidden to let her climb up and down the stairs of a restaurant terrace. "She's going to fall, and you are going to sue me!" (No and no.)
3. When my daughter was 3 years old, I was scolded for letting her unattended in the house (which was locked up tight) while I was napping. "What if she burns the house down or injures herself?" (No she won't. Trust me to know what my own kid can handle?).
4. When my daughter was 4 years old, we were scolded for keeping blunt but sharp scissors on her craft table, and also letting her play with coins and buttons. "She may injure herself! She might swallow them and choke!" (Why would she do that?)
5. When my daughter was 5 years old, we got a scolding by park rangers because she was jumping from rock to rock at the beach. "The rocks are slippery and she may fall!" (She's barefoot for better grip, and she's been doing that for a week already with no harm.).
These are just some samples of the many times over the years we have had conversations on this topic. People, this kid only learns from experience (possibly all kids do?). Let her have the experience. We promise you we are doing the utmost to control any serious danger. She's 6 now, and she has not injured herself or destroyed property.
Thanks for the new book! I loved "It's OK not to share". It was a breath of fresh air.

One Response to What's Fair and What's Equal
One of my biggest pet peeves is how most people freely interchange the terms "fair" and "equal." Equal is rarely fair, and fair should rarely be equal. Why? Because we are all unique!
I feel stuck sometimes, especially with kids when they all want the approval of adults. Your example of praising the 12-yr-old and the father immediately mentioning his other children is a great example. Let the ones being praised have their 100% moment of glory. and insist on the same treatment when the next child has his/her success.

Love this! I call it "natural consequences." Children learn from natural consequences if adults don't step in and stop them from happening. The little girl's behavior had a natural consequence – the children didn't want to play with her any longer. I bet she learned from it too.
Excellent observation. I'm amazed that everything you say about raising children is 100% common sense and based on how children see their world, not an adult's interpretation of a child's world.

Thank you for this. After working in a handful of daycare centers when I was in college, I am horrified and often repulsed to see how that time has snuck its way into my parenting. I tend to default back to those years and I hate it. This is one of those phrases that I have heard, that I have USED, but it has always bugged me, though I couldn't put my finger on why.
I love the phrase "neutral and helpful." So much more effective.
"It's ok to go up the slide." What a great title for a book!

Congratulations Heather! I look forward to reading it!
Congratulations on your new book release, Heather. I see you'll be in Madison next month at UWWI. Hope to see you there to say hi and get an autographed copy.
On the topic questions you posed, the biggest stress I see is overscheduling of children by their parents. I think downtime has gotten pushed aside because everyone wants their kid to be the best and brightest at whatever the establishment tells them we need. Today it's STEM, ten years ago it was computer anything, tomorrow it may be stand up comedy for all I know. Give kids "dead time" to just sit, think, daydream, imagine, ponder, ask questions, and I think they have a much better chance of deciding for themselves what path their lives should take.
Warmest congratulations!
Please know that I am only trying to understand the logic in no homework when I ask: " Are your beliefs of over scheduling after school the same for children with learning difficulties? Those that are playing catch up in school and who's neuro's suggest non typical practice of social skills and discrete trail ABA?" What is your take on that? For our family I think we have fined tuned knowing limits of my son and that he benefits more from being led outside his comfort zones. That for us is a little social and academic work Afterschool but mostly goal oriented fun. He benefits both scheduled time after school and free time. Most often free time is a new science project that he has come up with:). With the other subjects he looks to be led until he is confident or NEEDS to be led to build confidence. Again, this is all scheduled until he is indepedant. What are your thoughts?
Read your interview article in THE NEWS today your title for the new book is excellent Its so good to see that you understand the importance of free play in a childs life.I have recently moved here from England UK where i was very involved in play provision for many decades establishing adventure playgrounds and managing town wide play programmes. I admin a facebook page on play and also write non fiction and poetry.I wish you every success with the new book .Im looking for publisher for mine which is a history of organised play provision over the years largely based on my own experiences.Take good care ,Ray Wills

6 Responses to Who has Mentored You?
My dad was a great mentor. He quietly persevered through whatever came his way, and showed me the value of play, sports, discipline, and practicing to get better.
Another mentor is one of my two best friends, Dennis. The great lesson he taught me was life is too short to save all the fun and recreation until retirement. He's had great balance between work and play in his life, and my life is richer because he taught me that by example.
Thank you for recognizing and remembering Bev Bos. She was the best! Jan Waters
I was sad to read your post about Bev. I heard her speak many times and even had the pleasure of having dinner with her at an event! Every time I read (or reread) one of her books, I learned something new. Wouldn't it be great if there was a compilation of all her wonderful and inspiring quotes, like the one you posted!!!

As our family moves through public school, I've heard six years' worth of teachers explain why kids don't write fiction in their class. "Frankly, kids aren't very good at fiction. They only write about explosions, aliens and robots," one teacher … Continue reading

Yes fiction writing is alive and well in our school. My son's stories are so creative. He is becoming a great story teller. Is his spelling, grammar, and punctuation perfect? Absolutely not. There stories sometimes don't flow very well, but most importantly they are really creative, funny and strange.
I think the problem is teaching to the tests. It is crazy high stakes in public schools that have not found a creative way around to actually teach kids. For those schools that find ways to actually teach, they often find ways to develop the creativity in kids. Creativity in one area helps in other areas. The problem is when you feel like you only have time to teach the facts, the basics, the test, then you can look at creativity as a luxury instead of a necessity. I sure hope this will change soon.
I'm so happy you wrote this one. My best childhood moments were being alone, making up wild stories about witches and queens, and yes, even princes and princesses, but the witches, oh I had such good and terrible witches. And in these fantasies, I was allowed to die and resurrect on a regular basis. It is truly the basis for an active imagination.
What are they doing to creativity???? They are dumbing down kids' education! Who are these people who don't value the creative spirit? Preschoolers write wonderful stories and an adult can write it down. We are not educating scholars we are educating technicians. Jan
That teacher's reasoning is so crazy. I presume she has also cancelled math, since some kids aren't that good at it? And art – after all, 6-year-olds' drawings are hardly known for artistic merit. In my first years of piano lessons, my playing really sucked – clearly my parents should have quit giving me music lessons. In fact, isn't it the very nature of any skill that needs to be taught and/or practiced, that the student is bad at the beginning?
My son's teacher has them write journal pages twice a week. They all have a blank top for a picture and then lines to write something. Some start with prompters such as "I wish", "My Mom", "I wonder".
He writes the most hilarious 1-4 sentence stories in his first grade spelling with really simple but extremely expressive pictures.
I wish there was more writing and encouraging to write, but it seems like I should be happy about what his teacher already does.
