Get children excited by making back-to-school shopping a family affair.
Gather supplies and play school. Let your kids be the teachers and you be the student. This is a great time to talk about their concerns.
A few weeks before school begins, set a realistic bedtime so that kids get the recommended 10 to 12 hours of sleep.
Practice the morning routine so that everyone gets to school on time. Practice the route to school. If your children ride the bus, review the rules.
Attend back-to-school events, such as meet-the-teacher night.
Arrange to visit your new school before classes begin.
Get a school map and study it before the first day.
Write notes to remember important information, such as locker combinations.
Pack your backpack the night before to prevent morning panic. And tuck a few dollars in it for emergencies.
Eat a healthy breakfast.

Keep your belongings and personal information safe when you head off to college. Here are some tips:
Keep your Social Security card locked in a safe place, and do not share the number with anyone without knowing why they need it.
Store your laptop in a locked container when it's not in your sight.
Use your home address as a permanent mailing address. This will be less complicated than using a temporary address while in school, where mailboxes may not always be locked.
Never lend your credit or debit cards, driver's license or ID card .
Shred credit card offers and bills before throwing them out.

Children are using computers at younger and younger ages, but they aren't necessarily learning proper typing techniques. The State Board of Education expects this of Texas students:
Grades K-2: Use proper keyboarding techniques such as correct hand and body positions and correct operation of the alphabetic, numeric, punctuation and symbol keys.
Grades 3-5: Use proper touch keyboarding techniques such as correct hand and body positions and smooth and rhythmic keystrokes.
Grades 6-8: Use correct keyboarding techniques while building speed and accuracy.
Grades 9-12: Demonstrate proficiency in the use of a variety of electronic devices, such as a keyboard, by incorporating such a component in the development of a Web page.
Tips: Give your child a head start by making sure he or she:
Sits up straight.
Knows the home row position for his or her hands.
Doesn't look at the keys while typing.
Focuses on accuracy, not speed. Speed will come with time.
For more tips, visit keyboarding.ccsd.edu.
Lessons: Typing games can be found online at websites such as learninggamesforkids.com. Typing software, such as Mavis Beacon Keyboarding Kidz for $19.99, is recommended for children 7 years and older and teaches them accuracy and speed through games and practice.

Plan for college
Getting ready for college is a lengthy process. Start early and take a few steps each year to get into your dream school. Here are some tips:
7th and 8th grades
Think realistically about tuition and start a savings plan.
Practice good study habits and time management. This will prepare you to keep your grades up in high school.
9th grade
Note that your grades are now being calculated into your GPA.
Start keeping a file of awards and honors, volunteer work and activities. This will make résumé-building easier.
Learn about Advanced Placement and honors courses that help prepare you for college or earn college credit.
10th grade
Take the PSAT in October. It's good practice for junior year, when your PSAT scores will count for National Merit Scholar consideration. It will also give you a good idea of what the SAT will be like.
You don't have to pick a career path yet, but by joining teams and clubs, volunteering and thinking about what classes you like best, you can figure out what you like to do.
11th grade
Colleges really look at your grades from this year when making admission decisions, so take challenging classes and stay focused.
Take the PSAT, SAT, SAT subject tests and ACT. Conveniently, many colleges will take your "super score," meaning they will combine your highest score from each part of the test into one high score, so take them more than once.
Research colleges and compare financial aid plans. By the end of this year, you should have a good idea of where you want to apply.
Between 11th and 12th
Without full days of school and extra activities to distract you, now is the time to start working on your application essays.
If you are really interested in a particular school, you may want to think about applying for "early decision" or "early action" by November. Keep in mind that if you are accepted for "early decision," you will have to withdraw all other applications, which will not give you time to compare financial aid offers. Applying for "early action" will give you an early response through a nonbinding agreement.
Many colleges are on the online Common Application (commonapp.org). Now would be a good time to set up an account and start filling out basic information.
12th grade
Edit your essays and review your applications with your college counselor before you submit anything. Get applications in before deadlines.
Work with your parents to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and, if necessary, the CSS/PROFILE. Apply for scholarships throughout the year.
In January, have your high school send official transcripts to the colleges where you have applied.
After hearing back from your schools by mid-April, commit to a college by Decision Day, May 1.
College-prep website
On bigfuture.collegeboard.org, the College Board wraps up everything you need to know about applying to college, from picking schools to testing to financial aid. Use it to search for the right school, to follow a guide for financial aid, and to find tips for essays and standardized tests.
Tuition Tracker
Check Tuition Tracker at tuitiontracker.org to see how much students pay to attend specific colleges based on their family income. The net prices reflect the cost to attend for a full year, minus any grants or scholarships from the college or government sources. Often the out-of-pocket cost is much less than the published sticker price. The data are for full-time freshmen who received any federal financial aid, including loans, grants and work study.

Alan Stam Ph.D., Ecology, as a university professor has organized and led approximately 35 educational/natural history trips to Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, Belize, Ecuador and the Galapagos, Bahamas, and Cuba; of these, over 20 to Costa Rica. He is currently working on a book of the natural history of Costa Rica for non-scientists. He lives with garden, fruit trees, and cats and dogs on 35 acres of ever-teaching, ever-changing Nature in southeastern Ohio. He believes that a day without Nature is a day that we should never have to experience--unless for some reason we need a fair amount of "character enrichment".
Cheryl Rapose M.Ed., LISW, has been practicing and teaching mindfulness meditation practices to a wide variety of groups and individuals for over 14 years. She studied with Jon Kabat-Zinn approximately 15 years ago and has since attended various week-long and multiple day meditation retreats, including an Advanced Teacher's Training by University of Massachusetts Senior Staff. Her love of nature and appreciation of nature poets and writers drew her to develop and offer several programs on "mindfulness in nature". She considers herself to be responsible, curious, open-hearted and playful. When not working, she can be found outdoors playing, exploring, backpacking or biking. She adores the natural world and all that it has to teach.

Biomass Heating Plant
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Longwood's use of biomass (sawdust) to produce steam for providing heat and hot water to campus buildings. Longwood is the only public institution of higher education in Virginia and one of only two state agencies that burns biomass for heating fuel.
Longwood University completed construction of an 11,420 sq. ft. replacement heating plant in 2011. The $14 million facility located on campus contains two biomass boilers (one new boiler and one relocated boiler from the original heating plant). The new heating plant was designed to contain three boilers but due to escalating costs, the design was modified to include the installation of only two boilers and reserved space for additional boiler capacity. The two wood-fired boilers currently provide approximately 80% of the campus' heat and hot water. Number two oil provides the additional 20% of the campus' steam demand.
The new facility also includes two sawdust storage silos, sawdust handling system, pollution control devices, auxiliary equipment, administrative space, and space for additional boiler capacity. Sawdust is stored in two silos with a combined capacity of 18,500 cu. ft. approximately one week's worth of fuel. Sawdust is loaded into the top of the silos by way of a bucket elevator; augers at the bottom of the silos distribute the fuel using a first-in, first-out method to each boiler minimizing fuel degradation and ensuring consistent moisture content. Augers and pneumatic tubing at the base of the silos transport sawdust from the silos to the metering bins of each boiler. Pneumatic tubing then feeds the sawdust into the boilers.
Biomass Processing Facility
In addition to the biomass heating plant, the University is constructing a biomass processing facility to provide adequate storage space for sawdust and expand its wood fuel stream. This facility, located 11 miles from campus, consists of 17.68 acres. Once site preparation is complete, the facility will include a truck tipper, truck scales, and space to stockpile sawdust. Future plans include purchasing additional equipment, such as a chipper, to manipulate wood waste from sawmills, logging and tree trimming operations, land clearing, weather-related disasters, and municipalities. Once the wood is processed, the wood fuel will be stored at the processing facility until it is transported to the new heating plant.
Biomass Facts
- Test firing of new boiler occurred in July 2010
- Campus uses 10,000-35,000 lbs. of steam/hour
- Each boiler produces a maximum of 20,000 lbs. of steam/hour
- Purchase sawdust from several local sawmills
- Permitted to burn 34,000 tons of sawdust/year
- Utilize 20-40 tons of sawdust/day (approx. 1-2 truckloads)
- Each silo is 48 ft. in height and has a capacity of 18,500 cu. ft.
- Produces approximately 700 lbs. of ash/week

Senate Banking Committee to Vote on Fed Nominees on April 29
WASHINGTON–The Senate Banking Committee will vote next Tuesday on three of President Barack Obama's nominees for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, including Stanley Fischer, his choice for vice chairman.
The committee will vote April 29, on the nominations of Mr. Fischer, Jerome Powell and Lael Brainard, the panel said Thursday in a press release. Mr. Powell is a current member of the Fed board who has been nominated for another term. Ms. Brainard is a former Treasury official. Mr. Fischer is the former head of the Israeli central bank.
Mr. Obama nominated the three for the Fed in January and the committee held a hearing on their nominations in March. If the committee votes to approve their nominations, they would proceed to the Senate floor for final confirmation votes.
Another Fed governor, Jeremy Stein, announced this month he will step down on May 28. If Mr. Fischer and Ms. Brainard haven't been confirmed by then, the seven-member Fed board will have four vacancies

DPN - More Knitting Jargon
So far the only time I've had to use DPN's in knitting is when I am decreasing on a hat which actually hasn't been terrible since I already have the bulk of the hat done. Easing into the use of DPN's has been pretty smooth and giving me the courage to attempt other projects using them instead of two circs. I really do love watching my friends use their tiny DPN's and work the magic on their socks. Of course, my fascination with hand knitted socks is really the driving force of DPN's but, if it gets me to try another technique then all the better.
Brother Bear wore me down last night and I cranked about 20 rows out on his Owl using DPN's. I would have used two circs but...I only had one Size 6 needle since I have about a bazillion hats going right now and needed two. I got out my DPN's and cast on.
I will tell you that I tore apart my knitting a few times last night (again, the coordination issue) but I finally got my groove and once I completed a few rows and had a wee bit of structure I was doing good.
My resolution (for the next few small projects) is to use DPN's while knitting in the round so that I can truly feel comfortable with the process and the coordination. I will even try using different sizes. Who knows, I might even revisit Magic Loop next. Ok, that was a bit much, wasn't it? Tehehe
I resist change and prefer to keep my comfort zone but if I want to grow as a knitter then I need to try different types of needles, stitches, techniques, yarns and patterns. If it doesn't work out, I can always tear back. Whoa! Did I just say that? I never look back...yeah, I said it (another sign that I'm ready to grow as a knitter).

Good for you trying new things! DPNs are a struggle for everyone at the beginning of projects. They seem to flop all around. But once you get a bit of structure it gets easier. Let me know if you need any help! {Hugs}ReplyDelete
I prefer circulars as well and just finished a hat. It's not that I'm not coordinated for the DPN,s but on occasion my knitting has fallen off !! Not good! I currently have a couple of projects in the works and one is a pair of socks on DPN's, which is temporarily on hold so that I can knit up some Christmas Gifts!ReplyDelete
I have yet to tackle the dreaded DPN's and don't see me braving them any time soon! I have some lovely sock yarn sitting and waiting, but those DPN's just scare me!!ReplyDelete
The owl is looking good! I love dpns, find magic loop a fiddly PITA and two circulars means you need two of all the circulars. Everyone is different- do what makes you happy :)ReplyDelete
It's true - dpns work best when you already have some of the project started (like for the top of a hat). But, once you get used to starting out with that whole wrestling an octopus feeling, it really does get easier each time.ReplyDelete
Kudos to you for breaking out of your comfort zone!
I find them to be fiddly in the beginning... though I'm no expert as I'm still on that first sock project. It seems like it takes me about 5 minutes to get out of my own way whenever I pick the sock back up. You can do it though! Love to hear about our creative growth process.ReplyDelete
Sometimes we just need to take the plunge and try new things or things we think may be tricky. I think i need to step out of my comfort zone and try some new techniques. I have to admit that i'm bit rusty though.ReplyDelete
Yay for the DPNS! I am comfortable with those but its using two circular that I get myself in a tangle with :-) You know what they say....practice makes perfect and it looks lovely to me!ReplyDelete
So proud of you. :-)ReplyDelete

I recently looked into my son's sweet eyes and told him about this great place called preschool. Mommy and Daddy pay money for him to go there and play and learn to share and nap on an armylike cot. I told Benjamin to be brave and try not to put everything in his mouth.
He responded by throwing all three of his pacifiers in my face.
I know how he feels. It's overwhelming. When you start a family, they tell you about the sleepless nights. They tell you about potty training. The elusive "they" even tell you how to get cradle cap off your kid's head (warm olive oil and a comb). But no one tells you how to choose a preschool.
What's the optimal age? Montessori or Reggio Emilia? Spanish or Chinese immersion?
Parents aren't sure. We tend to do what our friends do because things have changed so much since our parents had us. My mother admits she isn't much help in this category. She didn't even consider preschool until we were 4. "Back then, everyone kept their little ones at home," she recently told me. "But you guys didn't know your ABCs and numbers as early as kids do now."
Things certainly have changed. Early childhood education is high on President Barack Obama's agenda, and today's average smartphone-savvy 2-year-old has a different set of skills and curiosities than his preschool-age predecessors. Also, each child is an individual. Put Benjamin in a park, and he'll always prefer the sandbox to the slide. He can draw for hours, loves reading books to his stuffed animals, and thrives one-on-one. Can I trust a preschool to see all that?
While I know preschool is not going to give Benjamin a leg up in the Ivy League, I want to pick the preschool that is the best fit for him; the one with teachers who "get" him and can help me start my little man on the path to being the most confident, well-adjusted version of himself.
That could be a challenge. What we know from child development experts such as Harvard psychologist Anthony Rao of "The Way of Boys" is that little boys develop social and emotional skills in different ways and at a different rate than girls.
Rao says that the expectations in preschool -- to sit quietly, take turns and work well in groups -- are areas where girls excel. Boys are hard-wired to prefer tactile, hands-on learning and more physical movement than most schools provide. The result? Teachers tend to pathologize boys and their tendencies to grab, kick, fidget, act out or refuse to make eye contact.
It's enough to make me keep Benjamin at home with Thomas and Dora forever. However, I know that's not best for him. So I push on. I've toured the best. I've interviewed the directors. I've even gone back with Benjamin in the hopes that I'll see a spark of preference in his wide, hazel eyes.
Recently, at a top Montessori in Walnut Creek, my shy guy pulled his face out of my crotch long enough to join the tail end of circle time. My lip began to quiver as I watched him slowly open up, smile at the pretty teacher, and follow her instructions to count the wooden sticks in a set of narrow drawers. "It's funny," he said when they got to 10 and clapped. I smiled. He meant, "It's fun." He was having fun.
Still, I procrastinate on making the big decision. So does my husband. Recently, we tried to get in the mood by fanning the brochures from our top three schools all around us on our living room floor. With a bag of Annie's Organic Fruit Snacks between us and Sesame Street songs streaming on the Roku, my eyes fell on a welcome letter from the director of a new, soon-to-open preschool around the corner from my office:
"We recognize that each child is a confident, capable and proficient individual ... our educators observe, document and interpret each child's thinking and learning in order to deepen their knowledge and guide the child toward becoming a thoughtful, confident, individual thinker and respectful citizen of our immediate community and the world as a whole."
It gives me hope. But my search continues.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - The Pentagon has raised questions about the design of a proposed building that would destroy Kentucky's stockpile of chemical weapons, and the concerns threaten to delay construction of the project.
Concrete was expected to be poured this summer at the munitions demilitarization building, the primary facility at Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond where Cold War-era rockets and other lethal weapons are set to be destroyed by 2017 to comply with an international treaty.
But John Schlatter, spokesman for Bechtel Parsons Bluegrass, the company in charge of the construction project, said Monday that timetable may have hit a snag after a Pentagon agency questioned the design of a room in the building that must be able to withstand an explosion.
The Defense Department Explosive Safety Board told the company last week that it can't accept the plans in their current form because they rely on a relatively new design regarding how the steel beams holding the concrete are connected.
Executives from the company expect to meet with the board this spring to discuss the engineering, Schlatter said. If the plans aren't approved by June, construction could be delayed indefinitely, he said.
"We're not going to do anything to sacrifice the safety," Schlatter said. "If there is ever a choice between safety and schedule, safety is the thing that wins out."

Hydrology of the Bryant Watershed
Hydrology is all about water. This section includes information
about Bryant Creek and the springs that feed
it. It tells about the rainwater that flows and trickles into creeks and
filters through the earth to become groundwater.
Groundwater flows underground from one place to another to feed the creeks
and our wells.
Bryant Creek is a narrow, swift-flowing stream fed by several large springs. Many small springs flow into the Bryant and its tributaries. Limestone bluffs tower along the stream in places.
The dictionary defines hydrology as "a science dealing with the properties, distribution and circulation of water on and below the earth's surface and in the atmosphere." Studying hydrology gives us information to help us explore and understand the waters of the Bryant, from its water quality and stream flow to its fish habitats and plant life. The Bryant is similar to most Ozark streams with its series of short pools separated by shallow riffles. Pools are deep and slow moving. Fish use them for cover and nesting. Riffles are faster and are used by fish for feeding and spawning.
What are the parts that make up a stream?
The parts of a stream include the watershed, the floodplain and the stream corridor, as well as the stream channel itself. The watershed is the land that drains into the stream. The floodplain is the relatively flat area along the stream. The floodplain carries the flood waters that the channel can't handle after heavy rains. The stream corridor is the area immediately along the stream that is typically forested. The Department of Conservation recommends that the wooded border should be about one hundred feet wide, at least. This benefits the stream and landowners along it by controlling streambank erosion, filtering sediment and enhancing fish and wildlife habitat.

|Here are some details about my project:
What materials did you use? I cleaned out my closest and discovered that I obviously have never met a cardigan I did not like. Yikes! So I decided to give some away. Then I thought - huh, wonder if could do a cut work border on a knit sweater? Why not try it out on one of these "extra" cardigans I have? I chose this one because it was my least favorite in the pile of give-away's and if I ruined it that would be okay. It's a cotton/linen knit sweater, very finely knit and stretchy.
I used the class designs to re-create a cardigan! I have to admit it was a little scary thinking about stitching on so fine and stretchy fabric - but it worked just fine. The trick was in stabilizing the entire hem area with stick on wash-away stabilizer before I began even my design layout. I made sure I didn't stretch the sweater AT ALL when applying that first layer of stabilizer. Then I followed the class instructions for hooping and stitching. The only thing I did different was that I started in the center of the cardigan back and worked to the front from either end of that center motif. I mirror imaged my designs for half of the hem so that the design would begin stitching where the previous one ended. This was easier than I thought and a lot of fun!
I have been trying to think of other things to do with cutwork. You have started to make me think "out of the box." This is a wonderful idea!
Yay! I hope you make a cardi too :-)

Working with Grid Formats
Why Use Grid Formats?
You may wonder why the GED Mathematics Test has students generate answers and fill in grids.
Think about it. In real life, a person is rarely asked to solve a problem by selecting one of five multiple-choice answers. When you go to the store to purchase carpet for a room in your house, you are not asked to select a possible square footage of the room. It is up to you to provide the correct footage so the salesperson can help you complete the purchase.
To more closely simulate real-life problem solving, twenty percent (20%) of the questions on the Math Test will require the student to generate an answer to a problem and record that answer on a grid format.
If this is cause for concern for your students, give them this advice:
As you help students prepare for the GED Mathematics Test, you will want to take some time to talk about strategies for using grid formats.
Read the information about test-taking strategies. You may wish to print this list for your students.

I hold no brief for Saddam Hussein. He is a gruesome dictator who is much
better out of power, and a dangerous man who is much better in captivity. I am
nonetheless sorry he will be murdered by the State. Iraq has seen quite enough
death already, and like so many of the others, this will merely engender more.
Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died already due to the Bush/Blair
invasion. The vast majority of them were totally innocent. If you kill hundreds
of thousands of innocent people, you are bound to kill the odd guilty one from
time to time, whether by accident or design. That is the measure of the
Bush/Blair achievement.
This death, just like that of al-Zaqarwi, will be hailed as a "Turning-point" by the invaders, their leaders, puppets and media spokesmen. So was the capture of Saddam, so were the elections, so was the formation of the government, so was the disbanding of the army. It is unsurprising that there have been so many - a downward spiral is just an unending circle of turning points, and Iraq has been embarked on a helter-skelter ride to Hell. Given what came after him, Bush/Blair have achieved the near impossible feat of making Saddam Hussein look like a comparatively better leader for the Iraqi people.
The trial itself was a political charade with the Americans as puppeteers. Judges were repeatedly changed if they showed any sign of independent thought. Defence lawyers who looked too effective were simply murdered. The TV cameras were turned off on the show trial if it got sticky for the US - with an American hand on the button. And the ultimate in stage management, the verdict was handed down two days before the US mid-term elections. Who honestly does not believe that timing was contrived?
I am all in favour of Dictators and War Criminals being punished. I wish Saddam had received a fair trial, and think the Hague would have been much better - he would have been seen to get a fair trial, and I am pretty sure a fair guilty verdict. We should not lose sight of the need to hold justice over the mighty. Bush and Blair are responsible for the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign state, against the wishes of the UN Security Council. They have on their hands the blood of hundreds of thousands of people. I live hope that I will see the day when they are in the dock.
I will still be against the death penalty.

How Charles Tollemache Scott transformed the Bosworth Estate
Article by James Holden, reprinted from "New Aspect", November 2005
The landed gentry needed staying power. Making your fortune and buying your estate was one thing, but then generation after generation of your descendants had to have the ability and common sense to keep it. The Dixies of Market Bosworth managed this trick for two and a half centuries, but then in 1872 along came the 11th Baronet, Beaumont Dixie. Driven by drink, gambling and hopeless financial speculations, he rapidly exhausted the family's accumulated wealth. In the end, inevitably, the estate had to be sold: the Dixie dynasty was ended.
The new owner was Charles Tollemache Scott, and he could hardly have been a greater contrast to the feckless Sir Beaumont. Buying the estate in the summer of 1885, he at once started work on altering the Hall and building the East Lodge. And he continued the same way; as the Hinckley Times' obituary of his wife in 1912 put it: "Since the time when the Bosworth estate and residence were purchased, there have been remarkable changes in the condition of the historic house, now one of the most beautiful in the Midlands. The old-time mansion has been restored, the squalid farm-houses have been re-built and improved in design and utility, the surroundings of the Hall have been beautified, and the appearance of the whole neighbourhood has improved almost beyond recognition."
A hundred years later, there is still much evidence of Scott's building work. Most conspicuous are the buildings in the 'Queen Anne revival' style: the delightful East Lodge by the park gates, the water tower at the rear of the walled kitchen garden, the alterations to the service courtyard at the Hall where the present hotel entrance is situated; and are those similar Dutch gables on the barns at Upper Far Coton Farm?
The distinctive square plan and broad central chimney of the East Lodge give the clue to a series of other Scott buildings, sharing less ornately those same features: the Home Farm on Barton Road; the Cadeby Lodge opposite the rugby club, sympathetically extended a few years ago; and the lodges at Coton Priory and Far Coton. Yet another style is to be found in the half-timbering and ornate gable barge-boards of the Keeper's House in the park and at 4 Rectory Lane, again with broad and ornate chimneys; and similarly ornate barge-boards were applied to the much older cottages in the corner of the market place. We know that Friezeland Farm was also his work, and must suppose that other buildings survive as well, dotted across the 3000 acres of the estate.
Did this prodigious building programme mean Scott was trying to set up a dynasty to rival that of the Dixies? Certainly he set about it the right way. Born plain Charles Scott, he married in 1882 Lady Agnes Tollemache, sister and heir to the 11th Earl of Dysart, and added her name to his own. Then the search for a suitable estate started, much assisted by his wife's £40,000 dowry. Acquiring the Bosworth estate was not straightforward, however, for the first auction in July 1885 resulted in a final bid of £128,000, below the reserve. A number of individual buildings and parcels of land were then sold as separate lots before Scott stepped in to buy the main part of the estate.
Next he needed an architect. He turned to Thomas Garner, junior half of the prominent partnership of Bodley and Garner which also carried out work for the Dysart family at Ham House near London. They were best known for their many Gothic Revival churches, a style which remained supreme for church architecture up to and beyond the turn of the century.
But Victorian domestic architecture was never so dominated by the impracticalities of the Gothic and a wide range of styles was used, the best architects choosing elements from the architecture of previous centuries to create buildings distinctively of their own time. Prominent amongst these towards the end of the century was the 'Queen Anne revival'. This owed little to the architecture of Queen Anne's time, but was an attempt to revive the domestic classical style of the mid 17th century, favouring red brick or terracotta, white-painted woodwork, and details from a variety of Dutch, French and English sources.
Bodley and Garner were closely associated with this style. Both had been apprenticed to Sir George Gilbert Scott, the most famous architect of the Gothic Revival and responsible amongst many other buildings for the Albert Memorial and the St Pancras Hotel. Both soon threw off Gilbert Scott's influence but became friendly with his son of the same name, himself an advocate of the Queen Anne style; for a time the three of them lived almost next door to each other in Hampstead. By the early 1870s, Bodley and Garner had abandoned the use of Gothic for domestic architecture and it was increasingly Garner who carried out their domestic commissions, including of course the work at Bosworth.
The Queen Anne style fits comfortably with the reserved but elegant late seventeenth century architecture of Bosworth hall, making it an obvious choice for Scott. Garner transformed the service court there with his prominent Dutch gables, and re-shaped the forecourt, the ornate new ironwork containing Tollemache Scott's initials. It seems highly likely that it was he also who was responsible for the East Lodge, the water tower and the Home Farm, and it is possible that he designed in addition the gate pillars flanking the main road by that lodge as well as some of the more modest estate buildings. Each will have his or her own favourite amongst all these but for me it is East Lodge, set self-confidently back from the road, symmetrical gables with boldly flowing white stone edgings proclaiming its status, stout chimney emulating those of the Hall, and firm string course at first floor level tying thewhole together like a grand parcel. And above the door, proudly displayed, we have the Tollemache Scott coat of arms, proclaiming the new dynasty of Bosworth.
But the dynasty was not to be. Lady Agnes died in 1912 and by the terms of the marriage settlement her only child Wenefryde inherited the estate when she married Owain Greaves the following year. Wenefryde moved to Wales and put the estate up for sale, leaving her father to retire to Gloucestershire. One wonders how he felt when his herd of pure-bred longhorn cattle was sold off in July 1913, or perhaps still more when an official attended the Police Court to revise the list of parliamentary voters in September of that year. The right to vote still depended partly on property ownership and an agent for the Liberals objected to Scott's name "being retained on the owner's list for the parish of Bosworth, on the grounds that the property was in the possession of his daughter, Mrs Greaves..." Despite pleas from the Conservative agent, Scott's name was deleted from the register.
So the dynasty never happened, but Charles Tollemache Scott rescued the Bosworth estate from ruin and left the town with a legacy of buildings of interest and distinction.

2011 Climate Summary for
North and Central Georgia
As was the case for many parts of the country, north and central Georgia experienced its share of extreme weather in 2011. From a crippling snow/sleet storm in early January to a historic tornado outbreak in late April, to one of the hottest summers on record, the region was certainly subjected to a variety of extraordinary conditions.
January began on a mild note, but this was abruptly reversed by an arctic outbreak on the 8th, followed by a record setting winter storm on the 9th-10th. An upper level disturbance tracked across the northern Gulf of Mexico dumping 8.8" of snow on Athens, while Atlanta received a snow and sleet mix totaling 4.4". This was the most snow from a single storm in Athens on record, and the greatest storm total in the capital city since January 2nd-3rd, 2002. Colder than normal temperatures lingered through much of the month until unseasonably mild conditions arrived for the final 4 days. On the 29th, Columbus and Macon soared to high temperatures of 73°F and 72°F, respectively, followed the next day by Atlanta reaching 70°F and Athens 73°F. Although not records, the warmth was a welcomed relief from a colder than average month. Monthly averages ranged from 39.7°F in Athens to 43.6°F in Columbus which were -2.5°F and -3.2°F from the normal, respectively. Consequently, the abundance of dry, cool air masses for much of the month led to precipitation deficits in all four cities. Departures from normal ranged from -1.37" in Athens to -2.40" in Atlanta.

Heat Report: 10.03.14
The Abbotsford Heat ran into some hefty challenges over the last week
When it rains it pours, and the Abbotsford Heat are feeling the loss of many of its top players post-trade deadline. The Heat's winless streak is now at eight games following four losses this week to the Texas Stars and Chicago Wolves.
Tuesday morning's annual school day game saw a ruckus crowd of 6827 fans, mostly children from the surrounding Fraser Valley area, look on as the Heat were downed 3-1 by the Texas Stars.
Sven Baertschi opened the scoring with less than five minutes remaining in the opening frame on a nifty feed from Corey Locke. With just 0:39 seconds remaining in the period, veteran Dustin Jeffrey picked up his first of the season to tie it up at one apiece. Jeffrey made it 2-1 midway through the second period to give the Stars a 2-1 lead and Brett Ritchie later added an insurance marker to seal the win for Texas.
Joey MacDonald stopped 22 of the 25 shots he faced, while Blair Jones led the Heat with five shots on goal.
In Wednesday's rematch the Heat showed a feisty ability to claw back late in the game, but ultimately fell 4-3 to the Stars in overtime.
The AHL's leading scorer, Travis Morin, put his Stars up 1-0 at 6:53 of the first period on the power play. Just minutes later, Baertschi stayed red hot with his third goal in his last four games with some sweet passing from Josh Jooris and Locke.
The Stars dominated the second period as hulking defender Jamie Oleksiak and Scott Glennie put their team up 3-1 going into the second intermission. Midway through the final frame, Jones potted his fourteenth of the campaign to bring the Heat to within one goal. With less than four minutes remaining in the game, rookie Turner Elson and Carter Bancks grinded it out down low and found Brett Olson in front to force overtime.
In the extra frame it was defenceman Cameron Gaunce who netted his third of the season and first game-winning goal in nearly two years to win it for the Stars. Olivier Roy stopped 27 shots in the losing effort. Ben Street led the Heat with six shots on goal.
On Saturday night, the Heat faced the Chicago Wolves, but were burned 7-2 thanks to a hat trick from Pat Cannone.
The Wolves took an early two-goal lead in the first period with markers from former Flames farmhand Adam Cracknell and Michael Davies. In the middle frame, Olson picked up his second goal in as many games just 0:29 second into the period to bring the score to 2-1. It was all Chicago from that point on as Joe Corvo and Cannone made it 4-1.
In the final period, Roy was pulled from the crease after allowing an Eric Selleck goal. Street was able to pull the score to 5-2, but Cannone added two late tallies to down the Heat.
The Heat finished off the week against the Wolves once again. Unfortunately, the depleted lineup couldn't solve Chicago as they fell 4-1.
In the opening period, Alexandre Bolduc, Cody Beach and Dmitrij Jaskin combined for three goals in a 5:07 span to go into the first intermission with a comfortable lead. The flurry of goals chased Roy from the net as Ward opted to replace him with Dell. The Heat had a strong push in the second period. Brady Lamb, playing out of position at forward, picked up a chip off the boards, split the defence and went backhand shelf over Matt Climie's glove. In the final period, Tyler Shattock took a two-on-one feed from Cannone who made no mistake sliding it past Dell to make it 4-1.
The Heat will have a much needed week of rest to prepare for the Utica Comets who they will face at the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre on Friday and Saturday evening.
The NHL's trade deadline typically causes quite a stir in the hockey world - a stir whose reverberations were felt by the Abbotsford Heat in a big way.
In just the last week, the Heat have had an exodus of big minute players hop a flight to Calgary to live their dream of playing in the NHL. These players included rookies Markus Granlund, Max Reinhart, Corban Knight, Joni Ortio, Ben Hanowski and Tyler Wotherspoon, along with veteran netminder Joey MacDonald.
It would be reasonable to make excuses for the team's sudden lack of wins, but Ward and his players are refusing to submit to excuses.
"It's been tough," said Bancks. "We've had guys going in and out of our lineup, but we can't make excuses. We have a lot of good guys here, a lot of really good hockey players. The bottom line is we're kind of shooting ourselves in the foot."
Players playing outside of the minutes they're capable of is one of the biggest aspects of the team's tough stretch as of late, according to Ward.
"It's like parenting," Ward explained calmly. "Just be patient. Be patient. It's mid-March, we don't have our regular team, but every other team goes through it. Every family goes through difficult times. You be patient, you continue to teach and you just stay with the process.
"You guys look at the score. We're really not. We're just trying to survive and fight and claw. We're trying to rest guys in the third period that have got to play tomorrow … We've just got to survive this. I can't force the group to play beyond the minutes they're capable of playing. We don't even have Baertschi tonight. Where's Baertschi? He's hurt because guys are playing over their minutes … Those aren't excuses, those are the realities. We're never going to have any excuses."
When one door closes, another one opens, which has given ample opportunities to those who would otherwise be playing in smaller roles. The additions of tough guy Brett Lyon, winger Jordan Knackstedt, rookie defender Zach Davies and backup goaltender Aaron Dell have given them an opportunity to showcase themselves and chew up some minutes.
"That's how we look at it: as an opportunity," Ward said. "We had wonderful opportunities from Brett Lyon to Jordan Kremyr to Turner Elson in a checking line role. We had guys all over the ice that don't normally play in those spots, and what a wonderful opportunity."
Until players begin to trickle down from Calgary, the Abbotsford Heat will look to make the best out of their situation. They are still comfortably within a playoff spot, seated nine points ahead of the ninth placed Oklahoma City Barons.
"We'll just chip away," Ward told reporters. "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. We're just going to chip away. It's where we're at. We'll just deal with it."
All is not doom and gloom for the Abbotsford Heat players and coaching staff. In fact, there's been a sense of excitement the last several days.
Whenever a player is recalled to the Calgary Flames, there's a familial pride felt throughout the dressing room that it was a team effort that helped get that player a promotion.
"We talk about it. We're kind of losing, but we're also kind of winning," said Ward.
"That's the way the team looks at it too. Every one of those guys that's up is a reflection of the guys in our room. They maybe would not have been there had we not had the season we've had to this point, even in the skid we're in.
"There's a lot of guys that are just super excited for Corban [Knight], Rhino [Reinhart], Wotherspoon got an assist last night, they're super excited for that … In general, they've won some games up there and those guys have had an impact on their team a little bit, similar to what we had last year … We're proud of those guys that are playing really well for Bob [Hartley] and his staff. We take a lot of pride in that."

What do the numbers mean on the coat of arms of David Johnston, Canada's Governor-General?
Canada's Governor-General, David Johnston, like all Governors-General, has an official coat of arms.
David's coat of arms is quite a busy one and includes stripes (representing family, knowledge, order and organization), a crown (because the G-G represents the Queen), books (representing knowledge and the law), a bookshelf (representing the acquisition of knowledge) with five books (one for each of his daughters), two Latin mottoes, a couple of astrolabes (representing exploration), a pair of winged feet (representing physical activity and communication), a candle (representing learning and enlightenment), and … unicorns!
The Latin mottoes are "Desiderantes Meliorem Patriam", meaning "they desire a better country", which is the motto of the Order of Canada of which David Johnston is a member, and "Contemplare Meliora" which means "to envisage a better world".
At the bottom is a black strip with some golden digits, all of which are zeroes or ones. This forms a binary number 33 bits long (a bit is a binary digit). That's an unusual length, because the main use for binary numbers is in computing where the most common lengths are 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits.
The official description of the coat of arms simply says this:
The wavy band inscribed with zeros and ones represents a flow of information, digital communication and modern media.
But why was this particular combination of ones and zeroes chosen: 110010111001001010100100111010011 ? David Johnston was president of the University of Waterloo and is a bright guy. This won't just be some strong of digits that looked good to a graphic designer.
If we convert that number to decimal notation we get 6830770643. On the face of it that's uninteresting, but it turns out that it is a prime number. In other words, no other numbers can be multiplied together to get that number.
As numbers get larger and larger, prime numbers become more scarce. Nevertheless, it's not hard to prove that there are an infinite number of prime numbers.
Take another look at that 33-digit binary number, and you'll see that it reads the same forwards and backwards. That makes it a palindrome (like, for example, the name Hannah). To be more specific, it is a palindromic binary number that is also prime.
These palindromic primes (also known as palprimes) are of interest to mathematicians because they are rare. Almost all palindromic numbers are composite, i.e. non-prime (here's a proof).
Finally, 6830770643 is approximately the human population of our planet. The global population is estimated to have passed that figure during 2010, the year this coat of arms was adopted.

I noticed the population possibility, as well.
The number is also a Sophie Germain prime.
I present an update to the story. This deals strictly with the binary sequence and demonstrates its mysterious features.
This video represents a small percentage of what is actually going on.
Thank you.
Back in October of 2010 the Coat of Arms of the Governor General of Canada received a fair bit of attention for awhile because of the string of binary featured. Since then, the internet has gone silent on the subject and no significant progress was made.
I present an update to the story. I hope it will intrigue the naturally curious and intelligent people here. I also think you will be able to help me.
This video represents a small percentage of what is actually going on. There is more. But this should get people interested.
Thank you.

Intuit Launches Mobile Payments Service in U.K.
Intuit, a company best-known for its small business accounts software particularly Quickbooks, has brought its mobile payments service to the U.K. ahead of fellow U.S. company PayPal. Both are aiming to attract the millions of small businesses that do not take credit card payments.
This space is getting very crowded with a number of players fighting for a small slice of a very large pie. Recently PayPal launched its own device, but companies like Square in the U.S., Sweden's iZettle, Germany's SumUp and Payleven, and the U.K.'s Powa, have all either launched or are about to launch card readers — either chip-and-pin devices or chip-and-sign.
Intuit recently took a stake in the Danish startup TradeShift, a social invoicing company.
Rather than a tablet or smartphone dongle the Intuit service uses a card-reader with its own keypad which appears to be more readily acceptable to credit card companies. Initially, at least, the readers will be given away. Transactions will be charged at a 2.75% flat rate. Intuit Pay will integrate easily with Quickbooks, explains TechCrunch.
Intuit Pay, which was first announced back in November 2012, is launching in the UK first, but this is just the beginning. Terry Hicks, VP of products for Intuit's global business division, told TechCrunch in an interview that the intention is to use the UK as the first market ahead of a wider European and worldwide rollout. Hicks points to QuickBooks, when it rolled out globally, debuted first in the UK and then shot over to Singapore. It's rolling out initially with an iOS app, although other platforms like Android are on their way soon…
The fact that Intuit has a strong suite of other business products to sell alongside and integrate into Intuit Pay are two of the reasons why the company is so bullish about entering new markets. "We think of Intuit Pay as part of an operating system, one that includes QuickBooks but other products, too," Hicks told TechCrunch. "Intuit Pay embraces the fact that it provides a one-stop shop. Once you sign up, you get all the invoice, payment, offline, mobile invoicing included."
TechCrunch: Ahead Of U.S. Rival PayPal Here, Intuit Pay Rolls Out Its Mobile Commerce Service In The UK

One friend next to you when you're crying is worth more than fifty friends next to you at your party.
Friends are the family you choose.
Every girl needs a friend to make her smile again.
Lots of memories. Some good , some bad. But as long as they're with you, they're the best I ever had.
Giving up doesn't mean you're a quitter, it just means whatever you're fighting for is no longer worth the fight.
Never mind what people say, hold your head high and turn away.
You need to see the black and white in you to realize what actually colors your life.
I thought watching you leave was hard, but knowing you weren't coming back was even harder.
True friendship is when they are there for you when you need them the most.
Don't matter what people say, do it your own way.
Put your head up like a girl, not like a bitch.
The best things in life are unseen, that's why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry and dream.
Never regret something that made you smile.
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see, I'll be the light to guide you.
Alcohol is not the answer, it just makes you forget the question.
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea, I'll sail the world to find you.
Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
Actions speak louder than words.
If tomorrow never comes, tell that someone that you love just what you're thinking of.
You were born an original, don't die a copy.
If my time on earth were through, is the love I gave in the past, gonna be enough to last.
Friends are angels who help us to our feet when our wings have forgotten how to fly.
Be sure to taste your words before you spit them out.
He who angers you controls you.
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.
A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not why ships are built.
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
The road to a friends house is never too long.
