Seven Stories
|Newcastle upon Tyne, England
|Collection size
|Children's literature and illustration from 1930s to the present day
|Kate Edwards
Seven Stories - The National Centre for Children's Books in the United Kingdom is based in the Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne, close to the city's newly regenerated quayside. The centre takes its name from the theory[citation needed] that there are only seven basic plots in literature, and the fact that the renovated Victorian mill in which it is housed has seven levels.[1]
Seven Stories is the first and only museum in the UK wholly dedicated to the art of British children's books.[2] Their archive is housed in a separate building in Felling.[3]
It has a changing programme of ground breaking exhibitions aimed at both children and adults. Recognised as the National home for children's literature,[4] Seven Stories brings together original manuscripts and illustrations from some of the nation's best loved children's books, to excite visitors in an exploration of creativity, literature and art.
Substantial original artwork and manuscripts has been donated to the centre and the collection continues to grow.[citation needed] Jacqueline Wilson, Terry Jones, Philip Pullman and Quentin Blake are among some of the centre's most distinguished patrons.
Seven Stories curates its own exhibitions, many of which go on to tour nationally including Judith Kerr, Anthony Browne and Jacqueline Wilson. They also provide a range of workshops, visits and resources for schools and education professionals from pre-school to post graduates including the University of Newcastle upon Tyne with which it jointly hosts a number of PhD studentships funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
Many children's authors and illustrators visit the centre to run workshops and give talks, including David Almond, Catherine Rayner, Michael Foreman, Terry Deary, Judith Kerr, Julia Donaldson, Mick Manning, Brita Granström and Oliver Jeffers.
Activities include dressing-up and dramatic fun, creative writing and wordplay, illustration and craft. The museum includes one of the largest independent, specialist children's bookshops in Britain,[citation needed] with over 50,000 titles.
Seven Stories opened in August 2005 and is the operating name of The National Centre for Children's Books, a registered charity.[5]
In March 2006 the centre received the Centre Vision Award, the Civic Trust's national award for best practice in town centre regeneration.[6]
Seven Stories celebrated their fifth birthday in August 2010 with an exclusive golden ticket event with popular children's author Dame Jacqueline Wilson.[7]
In September 2010, Seven Stories purchased several original typescripts by Enid Blyton, making Seven Stories the largest public collector of Blyton material. The purchase was made possible by special funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund, and two private donations.[8]
In 2010 Seven Stories was awarded the Eleanor Farjeon Award, made for distinguished service to the world of British children's books.[9]
The centre closed for refurbishment in April 2015 and reopened in July 2015. The refurbishment was intended to focus on improving the visitor experience, functionality for school groups and the energy efficiency of the building.[10] The centre re-opened on Sunday 19 July 2015.[11]
In October 2015 author Michael Morpurgo donated a collection of manuscripts, notebooks and letters to the museum.[12]

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Oklahoma basketball coach Kelvin Sampson's 72-year-old father had emergency brain surgery after falling ill during the Sooners' practice Tuesday.
John W. Sampson, known as Ned, had surgery for a subdural hematoma, or blood collecting on the brain, at about midnight, Oklahoma team physician Brock Schnebel said Wednesday.
"My father, growing up, he was a high school basketball coach ..." Kelvin Sampson said before breaking down in tears.
"I'm sorry," he said, covering his eyes with his hand.
Oklahoma Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson ponders a question during a news conference Saturday, March 16, 2002 in Dallas. Oklahoma will play Xavier in the second round of the NCAA Division I tournament on Sunday.

Several moments passed before he continued.
"You're experiences shape who you are. He's a worker. He was tough. The adversity that you were raised in shapes you as you get older," he said, his eyes red with tears. "I've always appreciated that."
Sampson was not specific about his father's condition.
"Your experiences shape who you are. He's a worker.He was tough. The adversity you were raised in shapes you as you get older. I've always appreciated that."
OU coach Kelvin Sampson speaking about his father
"I was with him obviously all night and this morning," Sampson said as the second-seeded Sooners prepared to face third-seeded Arizona tonight in the NCAA West Regional at the Compaq Center.
Ned Sampson launched his son's career, coaching him at Pembroke High School in North Carolina. The younger Sampson has taken Oklahoma to the NCAA tournament every season since he became head coach eight years ago. He was named Coach of the Year in 1995.
Schnebel said he noticed that Ned Sampson was walking strangely at the Sooners' practice Tuesday at nearby San Jose City College.
"He's a tough guy like his son," Schnebel said. "He said it was nothing, but I said I thought we should probably get it taken care of."
The surgical procedure to drain blood from his brain took about an hour, Schnebel said.
The elder Sampson, who had a stroke 20 years ago, was speaking but not yet walking, and a full recovery is expected,' Schnebel said.
The physician added that Ned Sampson could be out of the hospital by Saturday, when the winner of Oklahoma's game faces the winner of Thursday night's other game between eighth-seeded UCLA and No. 12 Missouri.
Kelvin Sampson said it was his understanding that his father would be in the hospital for 7-to-10 days.
"He's a pretty tough guy," he said. "God has a way of not putting more on us than we can handle.
"He can handle this. He's a tough guy."

Check Out This Elegant, Focused Chardonnay
Published: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 8:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 8:39 a.m.
2009 Dierberg Chardonnay
This is a beauty of a Chardonnay from Santa Maria Valley, elegant and minerally, with some sass to it and a bright acidity that sends you back to the glass for another sip. It's brilliant as an aperitif but ready to escort grilled swordfish, steamed shellfish or even a chicken fricassee to the table. I might try it with fried chicken or sweetbreads too. And certainly with sushi.

Buprenorphine 'Underused' in Primary Care as Opioid Abuse Soars »
"Despite being at the front lines in the nation's battle against opioid addiction as the first to treat chronic pain, and opioid overuse, few primary care and family physicians use the one drug available to them to treat addiction, buprenorphine, "...
Read the Buprenorphine 'Underused' in Primary Care as Opioid Abuse Soars article »
1. Opioid analgesics impair the mental or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially dangerous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery. Effects such as drowsiness or dizziness can appear, usually within the first hour after dosing. These effects may persist for varying periods of time after dosing. Patients who have taken butorphanol should not drive or operate dangerous machinery for at least 1 hour and until the effects of the drug are no longer present.
2. Alcohol should not be consumed while using butorphanol. Concurrent use of butorphanol with drugs that affect the central nervous system (e.g., alcohol, barbiturates, tranquilizers, and antihistamines) may result in increased central nervous system depressant effects such as drowsiness, dizziness and impaired mental function.
3. Butorphanol is one of a class of drugs known to be abused and thus should be handled accordingly (see DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE).
4. Patients should be instructed on the proper use of STADOL NS (see PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS in HOW SUPPLIED).

It was such a joy to spend time at the Knoxville Habitat for Humanity Blitz Week 2013 with my tool of choice – a camera. They wanted coverage of day one of building seven houses in seven days, so assistant Cassidy and I hit the pavement and snapped away. I barely turned in the subdivision before I hopped out to take a picture of the mountain view, such a beautiful frame for Silver Leaf Community. All I could hear was the symphony of hammers pounding, and I immediately knew I was in for a blessing. It's inspiring to be a part of an event like this, surrounded by people who are willing to sacrifice their time and resources for these deserving families. All of the volunteers were focused on their task, but most were willing to flash me a quick smile or wave. Thanks to each of you for allowing me to interrupt your important work for a quick photo!

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It depends. Not only products are different, but support is different too.
Take a basic software product which does not require specific skills for the support. The daily work of the support is just to help basic users with no enough IT knowledge to understand how to accomplish some tasks with the software. The only thing to know for the person to work in support is how to use it.
Compare this to a huge software product which is used by IT professionals and system administrators, which require years of experience in IT in general and years of learning of your product. Now you have to hire more experienced people, pay them more and train them longer.
Support scale:
Take a basic support by mail: customers ask you how to do things, you answer.
Compare it to a need of building a call center for the 24h/24 support by phone, hiring specialists who will travel to help the customers in their companies for the most difficult tasks, having people who can answer specific needs quickly under pressure, etc.
Example 1:
You are a freelancer and one of your customers ask you to build a tool which will analyze the server logs to provide some useful data about the visitors, what they do, etc. You have:
The cost of such support may be very low. You don't have to hire anyone; you don't even have to be available. You can spend a few days answering, because an issue with your product does not affect business continuity of your user.
Example 2:
You are a software company and you're requested to create a software product which is used by several hospitals to control MRI scanners. You have:
Now the cost will be extremely high. You have to build a call center, hire people, and you can't afford spending days answering questions in such environment.

Re: Has your opinion of Capital One changed?
It has changed somewhat...there's a shred of hope now, IMO.
Their biggest problem is not letting their lower-tier customers graduate into "prime" customers. Now it's at least been proven that it CAN happen, but it's really a shame that you must go through the executive office in order to do it.
If they fix that bridge, and let those of us who start out with little/bad credit graduate into prime customers with better cards, CLI's, etc. then they can be a very good company.

- Marivi And John's Airbnb Symbol
Hey, I'm Marivi And John!
I've been told I'm AirBnB's youngest host. There is a large portrait of me and a few other interesting hosts hanging in the new AirBnB headquarters in San Francisco. My profile photo is one of the pictures that was taken during the photoshoot for this portrait.
I've been doing this since I was 14. My parents have allowed me to use our family home for my AirBnB business. I use the proceeds of the business to help pay my educational expenses, to fund my modeling and acting endeavors, and pageant activities.
I was Miss New York Junior Teen in 2012, USA National Miss New York Teen and Miss New York High School in 2014 . I was the youngest contestant in the Miss New York (Miss America) 2015 pageant, and was the youngest contestant in memory to finish in the Top Ten.
I graduated with high honors at a private girls prep school, and as of August 18, 2015 I am a student at Duke University. I continue to be your host when I'm home on breaks but when I'm at school, my Dad, John Howell, runs the business for me.
Dad has a little business on the side giving private insider tours of Buffalo. His fees for all of this are reasonable and he knows a lot about Buffalo's history and factoids you'd like to know. He charges a cash fee for these services.
We also offer transportation to guests when our schedules allow. Our fees for transportation are a little less than taxi cab fare, and you don't have to tip us. Many of our guests traveling by air, train, or bus, have appreciated the convenience of our help with rides to and from the airport, train stations or bus terminal. We are also often asked to take guests to Niagara Falls.
My father is also a novelist, and you can get an autographed copy of one of his books if you want one.

Popular O.C. food truck chefs to create 'pop-up' eatery
Updated 9/14: As of this morning, I don't see a way to buy tickets for the event on the limelight website. However, the reservation system is working on the www.doschinos.com site.
[caption id="attachment_103989" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Jason Quinn, far left, is creating a "pop-up" menu with Dos Chinos owner/founder Hop Phan. (Photos courtesy Food Network)"][/caption]
The culinary� gurus� behind two of Orange County's most popular food trucks are joining forces Monday to produce a six-course one-night only menu.
Hop Phan of Dos Chinos and Jason Quinn of The Lime Truck are creating a family style meal for 200 people at the Shark Club in Costa Mesa. The menu is a secret and tickets ($50 per person) go on sale later today for the Monday, Sept. 19, dinner party.
Tickets will be sold for groups of two, three and four for seating times at 6 p.m. or 9 p.m. � Each dining� session can host 100 people, who will be seated in tables of 10.
No one knows the menu -- not even Phan's wife, who has been begging him to reveal details over the last few days. "I tell her, 'It's a secret. I can't tell you.'" laughs Phan, whose menu of fusion Latin and Asian� tacos and burritos was featured earlier this year in a� New York Times food story.
What Quinn and Phan can say is this:
[caption id="attachment_99463" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Pork belly taco from Dos Chinos.� "][/caption]
"It'll be food that we don't normally have on the truck. It's not going to be tacos or burritos," � said Phan, who is in charge of the odd (1st, 3rd and 5th) courses.
Quinn, who will create the even (2nd, 4th and 6th) courses, said: � "It's not heavy in one area. It's not tons of seafood. Not tons of meat. It's balanced. It will be a great menu for budding foodies. We're not doing anything predictable.� It'll be fantastic."
These semi-spontaneous dining events -- known in the restaurant industry as a "pop-up" restaurant, are popular in Los Angeles and New York. � A pop-up� experience� typically involves a well-known chef setting up his kitchen for one night in another venue, often at an eatery that is only open for breakfast and lunch.
On Monday night, Quinn and Phan are creating their ultra-secret "mash-up" menu at the Shark Club, a nightclub that also acts as the headquarters for Dos Chinos. � Phan, whose been friends with Quinn since both started their food trucks a couple of years ago, said he thought it would be fun to collaborate with Quinn.
The Lime Truck chef -- who has taken time off from the truck to prepare for the grand opening of his new� brick and mortar restaurant in Santa Ana, jumped at the opportunity to cook, again, for his fans. (Read more: Jason Quinn of The Lime Truck to open Playground, slated to open in four to five weeks)
"We love feeding people, so much," he said. "For me, it's nurturing, making people have a great experience."
"We are really trying to do a unique dining experience in O.C. Everything is presented family style, and we're encouraging people to bring friends and meet new people."
Tell us: Are you excited about this pop-up dining event? Would � you like to see more pop-ups in Orange County?
Monday Night Pop-Up Details
Tickets: $50 per person (additional $40 per person for cocktail pairing for each course� prepared� by the mixologist for Charlie Palmer at Bloomingdale's). Tickets go on sale later tonight (Tuesday) at� www.limelight.la (Shark Club site) or at� www.doschinos.com.
Location: Shark Club, 841 Baker Street, Costa Mesa.
Time: 6 p.m. or 9 p.m. seatings

When should I insure jewelry or a laptop?
Good Question!
Published: Sunday, June 1, 2008 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 30, 2008 at 5:33 p.m.
I've heard there are insurance policies that I can buy for my new engagement ring, digital camera or golf clubs that may not be covered by other insurance I hold. When is it a good idea to get one of these policies?
The young and newly engaged sometimes look down at their ring fingers and see the most valuable thing they own. Insurers say this leads many to the next thought, which is, what would I do if I lost it?
"You get engaged, and you get this expensive item, then you start thinking about getting a better apartment together or buying a house down the road, and it starts to trigger that insurance discussion," said Jeanne Salvatore, a spokeswoman at the Insurance Information Institute, an industry group.
That thinking leads many to buy personal article policies, otherwise known as floater policies, that insure anything from diamond rings to digital cameras, artwork and musical instruments. They have the option of buying the policies as add-on coverage to their homeowners or renters insurance or as stand-alone policies.
State Farm spokesman Kip Diggs said 70 percent of floaters are bought to cover jewelry, and one of the fastest growing areas of floater policies is for jewelry pieces that cost $25,000 and more.
More often, though, consumers are buying policies to cover their treasured rings, necklaces and earrings that cost more than $1,000 or $2,000, prices that can put them above the range of what is covered in their standard homeowner or renters policies.
Mike Maley, a vice president at Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co., said separate policies to cover jewelry cost between 1 percent and 3 percent of the value of the item. And the size of the market is potentially big, Maley said, noting that Americans spent $63 billion on jewelry and watches in 2007.
Besides $25,000-plus jewelry, another growing area for floater insurance is computers, State Farms' Diggs said. That has doubled in the past five years, with about 81,700 add-on or standalone policies in place at the end of 2007.
Among the 2 million floater policies State Farm has sold, Diggs said people also buy coverage for things like pianos, paintings and postage stamps.
Most insurers offer two options for coverage. One type of policy pays what the item would be worth when it was lost, assuming some depreciation in value, while replacement policies pay the cost of replacing the item.
Maley said consumers must settle on their personal cost threshold, and decide whether they want a policy, based on their own risk tolerance, where they live and other factors. One thing is consistent, Maley said, and that is the reason for the majority of claims. Most are attributed to accidental loss, or what insurers refer to as "mysterious disappearance."
"They left it on top of the soap dispenser at the airport, and it went down the drain," Maley said of engagement rings. "Somewhere out there, there's a lot of lost jewelry."

I am hoping that someone (or some people) could help us with a problem that we have wrangled with for a few days. How to organize our business objects given the attached diagram?
We are looking for any assistance (ideas about where to or how to search for the design pattern(s)/object model(s) we could use in order to solve this problem. Our situation is slightly more complex, but we have tried to simplify it best we could for the purposes of asking this question.
Some Details:
Some companies have product lines and some don't.
Each company has a list of contacts. If a company has at least one product line, some of those company contacts are ALSO associated with at least one product line.
A few of the contacts are references (business/personal) for other contacts.
Each company and each contact can have zero or more addresses.
Thank you for any assistance finding a more appropriate solution (My assumption is that we will need to use multiple models/patterns).

** (from the diagram) Our company has employees/internal application users who are included with contacts because they can also be references, etc.
