Now there's an answer to a sad, strange and common question in mainland China: How can someone be a good Samaritan to an elderly person in need without getting scammed?
A "strike hard" campaign against what China calls terrorism in the largely Muslim region of Xinjiang and beyond has seen 181 gangs busted, authorities said Monday, a year after the controversial measures were launched.
Beijing is poised to take "de facto control" of the South China Sea, the Philippines warned Sunday, but its call for a robust Southeast Asian response at a regional summit was shot down.
Tibetans who set themselves on fire in protest at Chinese rule face "extreme physical and psychological suffering" if they survive, a rights group said, alleging amputations, repression and forced disappearances.
Rosalia Amarilla stepped into the international terminal of Beijing's cavernous main airport on the afternoon of July 24, 2012, wearing more than 3 kilograms of cocaine stuffed into her underwear and bra.
A Chinese court will give the parents of a teenager wrongfully executed for murder and rape 18 years ago more than two million yuan (US$330,000) compensation, it said Wednesday.
A Chinese scholar and rights advocate who founded an influential non-governmental think tank has been detained on the criminal charge of provoking troubles, his lawyer said Sunday.
A typhoon has killed 13 people in China and left thousands in need of basic living supplies, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said Sunday.
A man with a kitchen knife killed a 1-year-old boy and injured two other children Monday in the southern Chinese city of Zhongshan near Hong Kong, police said.
Dramatic images of two Chinese men catching a young child after he fell from a second story window were released on Friday by Chinese state media.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
by Roald Dahl
Character Role Analysis
Charlie and The Other Children
Charlie and the other children couldn't be more different. We know from the get-go that because Charlie is our hero, he definitely won't be the type of kid who's greedy (Augustus), who's spoiled (Veruca), who chews gum all day long (Violet), or who does nothing but watch television (Mike). Charlie's simply too busy being a good kid. In the end, it's the faults of the other children that eliminate them from the running in Wonka's secret competition. And it's Charlie's virtues (all the more obvious in comparison to the others' faults) that make him the ultimate winner.

Through Honoring Choices Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Medical Society is working to make advance care planning a routine and standard part of care across the state, in clinical settings and the community. Participants will learn the latest in ACP strategies and how they can improve ACP in their work.
Case managers play a pivotal role in supporting good transitions across the continuum. Guiding patients, their family caregivers to the care they need, when they need it, lies at the core of case management and it is critical in the new models of care aligned with the Affordable Care Act. Case managers are part of the collaborative care team working with providers, patients and family caregivers ensuring clear communication within the care team and across the continuum. The skills needed for this exciting role require strong-technical and interpersonal skills that drive excellent quality and patient safety during transitions and care coordination.
Dr. Wayne Saltsman
Patient-centered care is a complex process that demands communication, education and collaboration between a patient/family dynamic and multidisciplinary teams, at multiple disposition levels (i.e. acute care, post-acute care, and home with skilled care), to optimize quality and reduce unnecessary costs. Although the health-care system identifies success as reductions in lengths of stay and readmissions rates, success should also mean that the patient (and family) has realized the right care at the right place at the right time. This presentation follows the course of a real, complex patient through the continuum of care to demonstrate the considerations and challenges that need to be met in order to provide the best care within a complicated system.
All providers on the care spectrum have a role in reducing readmissions and improving care transitions. This session provides an overview of the care transitions improvement work being done in Wisconsin, why it is being done and the specific interventions hospitals are applying.
This session is for Nursing Home providers.
Engagement strategies present an overview of the Health and Human Services (HHS) National Quality Strategy (NQS) Triple Aim as a framework for healthcare transformation and engagement. They identify post-acute care cross cutting provider roles within the Triple Aim. They also identify strategies for supporting care transitions to meet requirements of evolving value based payment models and structures.
This panel presentation is Jefferson County Care Transitions Coalition. It is a network of community partners working together to support seniors and persons with disabilities during transitions from hospital to home. Hospital data showed aspiration pneumonia was a frequent cause of readmission in our county. Surveys among coalition members, including assisted living providers, indicated the need for more education to prevent aspiration pneumonia.
1. How we developed our project based on our root cause analysis.2. The impact of safe swallowing issues and readmissions in Jefferson County.3. How to launch, evaluate and maintain an educational/training trial.
This session provides participants with an understanding of how the use of evidence-based treatment protocols for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) can be implemented to improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of re-hospitalizations.
Nursing home and assisted living providers can find themselves in a bind when presented with a prospective admission for whom they have concerns about their ability to provide needed services. Providers may be particularly reluctant to decline an admission for fear that the referral source may remove them from consideration for future referrals. This session addresses legal, regulatory and practical considerations regarding admission referrals, including the pitfalls of accepting admissions driven by concerns of affecting referral relationships. As importantly, it also discusses the method and means to communicate your service capacities proactively, such that your saying no to a particular referral is received as a responsible act to protect the prospective resident and to minimize the potential for readmission and/or a future need for relocation.
This session is a repeat, see A8 for the summary of the presentation.
The Bridge Model was developed in partnership by hospitals and community-based organizations in Illinois, and over 50 hospitals and community-based organizations around the country have now been trained to replicate Bridge. Bridge focuses on developing strong partnerships across the care continuum to best support clients and their caregivers in their transitions from one care setting to another. Since 2005, the Bridge Model has been shown to positively impact 30-day readmission rates, emergency department utilization, and physician follow up at 7 and 14 days. In addition, the model results in several quality outcomes, including patient satisfaction, decreased caregiver burden, and improved understanding of the plan of care. This session explores payment models that include social workers, post-acute providers, and the Aging Network.
During this presentation you will learn:1. The core components of the Bridge Model and its impact on healthcare outcomes.2. The important role of community-based organizations in meeting transitional care needs of older adults.3. About quality measures and sustainability options for a transitional care program.
This presentation provides an overview of challenges and potential solutions to improving transitions in care for people with dementia as well as unique policy and care management considerations specific to transitions between hospitals and nursing homes.
During this presentation you will learn:1. Why people with dementia are at increased risk for experiencing poor transitional care outcomes.2. To identify components of effective transitions from hospital-to-home for people with dementia.3. Solutions for improving transitions between hospitals and nursing facilities for people with dementia.
Dr. Nancy Henry
The under treatment of pain is common, particularly in vulnerable populations. This presentation addresses those at risk for under treatment, identify strategies to improve assessment and describe safe and effective management techniques.
This session is for Assisted Living providers.
This breakout session is an interactive panel discussion which focuses on the various reporting requirements for Assisted Living Providers in DHS Chapters 83, 88, 50 and 13, including an overview of the self-reports that a provider must submit to the Bureau of Assisted Living. This session also provides an overview of the caregiver misconduct reporting requirements that must be submitted to the Office of Caregiver Quality per Chapter 13. By the end of this session, attendees will have a better understanding of the various reporting requirements, timeframes and processes used by both the Bureau of Assisted Living and the Office of Caregiver Quality in reviewing and investigating self-reports and/or reports of misconduct. An overview of the Caregiver Misconduct Registry is provided to assist providers in ensuring a caregiver's eligibility to work as a caregiver. Time is allowed for questions and answers following the panel discussion.
Safe and effective pain control requires an understanding of the underlying etiology or cause of that individual's pain. This information can be derived from a comprehensive assessment that includes thorough history taking and physical examination. Pharmacologic therapies provide the foundation for the management of pain associated with many syndromes, yet the risks and benefits of each of these agents must be considered when developing a treatment plan. Nonpharmacologic strategies, including cognitive-behavioral approaches along with physical measures, are also critical when developing a multimodal treatment plan.
This session is for Nursing Home providers.
Licensing and certification regulations define specific requirements to be addressed when developing a partnership. Nursing home staffs are responsible for identifying residents approaching end-of-life, initiating conversations regarding treatment decisions/advance directives, and incorporating the information into the care plan. Providers who do not comply with these requirements are subject to survey deficiencies/penalties and are prime targets from review organizations in recoupment activity. This session discusses the licensure/surveyor requirements for the partnership and provides operational guidance in developing a compliant partnership that meets the palliative care needs of nursing home residents.
Physician participation in the care of frail and elderly patients plays a central and crucial role in patient care, yet other care team members are often frustrated by a physician's performance and apparent lack of cooperation. This session is designed to explain some of these issues and identify possible techniques to develop effective interdisciplinary teams.
Aspiration pneumonia is a common problem among long term care residents that can lead to increased hospital transfers, morbidity and mortality. The goal of this presentation is to address different methods that can be implemented to help prevent aspiration from occurring. It also discusses the evidence behind the use of feeding tubes and how to manage difficult conversations with family members and patients regarding when to and when not to place a feeding tube.
This session is an overview of the regulatory requirements surrounding incidents and allegations of abuse and neglect. The focus is on conducting thorough investigations and creating a zero-tolerance culture for abuse and neglect by responding decisively to all incidents and allegations. A portion of the presentation covers interviewing techniques.

There's something about the mood and the contrast of her lashes to the lighting and the coarseness of her hair, that I just find truly beautiful. In my Flora Bellus series, I have 3 girls, each with a different kind of flower. I felt as though this image would be perfect for my Orchid notebook.
Reinventing Something Gorgeous
This last week I've had a couple encounters into other artist's works where I couldn't help but notice the striking resemblances. The age old saying that there is nothing new is in a way true, but also untrue in that things are constantly being reinterpreted or altered.
Earlier last week a friend of mine Stephanie Yu posted a photo she had taken of her friend Elizabeth Teach. It struck a cord with me of an old illustration I had done in college. While the two are completely unrelated, its like a complete (unintentional) reinvention of a preexisting piece of work!
(illustrations by Cate Parr)
This brings me to my next example of similarities. Yesterday I was browsing through a new blog I discovered called Honestly WTF and there was a post by a watercolor artist by the name of Cate Parr. Her works are colorful, fashion forward, and also use a lot of found images for reference…including one I also referenced.
I wish I could credit the original photographer, but I found the image on Wehearit.com. However, this is the beautiful black and white photo which I also referred to for my latest Gryphon notebook.
My work started as a simple vector line drawing.
Then filled in with layers of color and texture.
And finally…. ta da! The finished product turned out really nice, and I was sent a sample set for as a wedding gift, (thanks Michelle!) This drawing has truly received rave reviews from all my Gryphon fans, so thanks for your continual support.

He will be recognized at the Annual Test and Evaluation Conference awards luncheon on March 14, 2012 at the Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
Allen is responsible for testing the newly designed Electronic Image Intensification (EI2) camera. He leads a team of approximately 20 pilots, engineers, downrange target technicians, and ground crews to ensure that the AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter, the instrumentation, and the computer systems are performing optimally. The type of testing Allen and his team perform are typically completed at night between 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. to ensure that the optimal night time light conditions are achieved.
"I am honored by the recognition of the test community for our efforts in Apache Sensors," said Allen. "As the Flight Test lead I recognize that it is the unique composition of the entire Sensor's Team and their efforts that have enabled me to win this award. This award acknowledges events for which I was the visible member of the team but in actuality were the accomplishments of a dedicated group of highly skilled individuals. I look forward to continuing this task and appreciate the recognition of the army and NDIA."
Allen's achievements have directly benefited our Warfighters, helping to prove how well the system works before placing them in the hands of the Soldiers. His efforts is instrumental in providing our Soldiers with exceptional operational capability and secures that Apache's role as the most lethal attack helicopter in the world.

"I bought my Caliber new in June of 2006. It now has 198,000 miles on it and runs as well as it did when new. At 6'4" and 260 lbs, I was looking for something with room, and the Caliber has it. It is painfully slow at take-off thanks to the CVT, but gas mileage is respectable and is has good storage in the back - great with the seats folded down. It is comfortable on the highway as well. I live in North Texas and have driven it to the Gulf Coast in summer, the Rocky Mountains in winter, up to Lake Michigan for vacation and a brutal number of miles in Dallas-Fort Worth traffic. It has handles asphalt, snow and sand equally well. If Dodge had not quit making them, I'd buy another. The fit and finish is cheap, I admit. It is also not at all sporty. But it looks great and if utility and comfort are your thing, it's a good choice. Mine has satellite radio, U-Connect hands free Bluetooth, 9 speaker stereo, leather seats and power sun roof. I know not everyone's experience is the same, but after 198K with only predictable upkeep and minor repairs, I'd have to add that it's pretty reliable as well."

First of all if i new that low profile tires only lasted 20,000 mi. i would has kept looking for another car. Also the awd is usless because u can not find an agressive enough tire to grab in ice n snow! I put 57 miles a day on going to work and back. but all highway miles and i just had to put a new rack in it! Around 40,000 miles the control arms needed to be replaced, wishbone suspension had to be replaced last month and control arm, cruise control wont work anymome. Air bag light is on and check engine light! I baby this car and maintain it every 3,000 mi. However everytime it snows an inch or more i have to jump into my 1995 jeep cherokee with 300,000 miles on it.

"Ive owned the car for a about a year and a half and still love it! I drive it alot, have driven it 31,000 miles. It is very reliable. AMAZING HANDLING! Have not had any major problems. I love the warranty, full lifetime power train warranty. It is UNBEATABLE! I also love the cooler, 12v power outlet, AUX outlet, Ipod holder, Lit up cupholders, CVT Trans, Autostick, 18 inch wheels, sound system, fog lights, sliding armrest, 2 glove box compartments, steering wheel controls, and the AMAZING All Wheel Drive! I have also owned a 1999 Jeep Cherokee 4L 4x4, 2001 Mitsubshi Montero Limited, 2001 Land Rover Discovery II and I honestly favor the Caliber. Its all around amazing. BUY THIS CAR! Performance- Compared to other similar cars the performance is great. I gave it 4 stars because I believe they need to give it more power. The caliber has a 0-60 of a little over 10 seconds, i believe 10.1? In manual mode in first gear, the RPM's hesitates at 4,000 rpm's for a second, but after it passes 4,000 rpms in first gear it takes off. IF Dodge gave this car more power I believe they would have made a perfect car"

"I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who needs space, comfort, versatility and like a vehicle that looks great. I love my Caliber. I bought it in a blizzard so I got to test the quality of the AWD system. I was impressed as soon as I got behind the wheel. I no longer "white-knuckle" on my hour drive to and from work everyday. No matter what the weather, I feel safe. That is what is most important to me, not to meant you can't beat the price."

"I've had a few cars in the past, as well as a small truck, and the Dodge Caliber has by far been my favorite. My SXT has lots of "get-up-and-go," which I love. I've always had a thing for hatchbacks, but they usually feel so small. The Caliber doesn't drive or feel like a tiny car. It doesn't get as good fuel eceonomy as today's Hyundai's or Kia's, but with a 23/28 range, it still does pretty good. I do mostly city driving and actually average about 26 mpg; it gets even better highway. The interior is very roomy, and the 60/40 folding rear seats lets you load just about anything. I haven't taken it on any long road trips, but even on day trips the seats keep you nice and comfortable. I love the added features like the chilled drink compartment that is in the glove box as well as the lighted cup holders. I thought the lighted cup holders were a bit excessive at first, but I can't think of how many times I've been driving at night and trying to put a cup into its holder and you feel like you can never find it! The lighted cup holders really make it easy to get your cup where you need it so you can focus on driving. Overall, thanks to pretty good gas mileage and affordability, I've ranked the Dodge Caliber a 4 out of 5 stars."

Chill Zone doesn't cool drinks as advertised, can't change headlight bulbs as DIY--due to design of car. Also changing headlights can trigger computer to disable one (or both) low-beams, requiring dealer visit to clear the code. Loose fuel cap will trigger check engine light with code for oxygen sensor (almost replaced it too!), loud and rough engine (2.0L World Engine)--sounds like a sewing machine.

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have owned a Jeep Patriot for over two years and really like the car. When I was looking for a reliable second car, I initially thought about buying used. A local Dodge dealer had a "one day only" sale on a base Caliber Express. The price was $12k! If you have looked at the price of used cars lately, you know that $12k does not buy very much. Especially a car with power mirrors, windows and door locks and cruise control. From my experience with the Jeep, I knew that I would enjoy driving the Caliber just fine (as they share the same platform/engines/transmissions/suspensions, etc.). The Caliber drives even better than the Jeep. It does have the same too soft seats. I wish that they were firmer and had more support. But the seat material is improved from my Jeep. Is this car a Porsche? No, not by a long shot. Are there better cars out there? Yes, but nothing can touch this car for the money that I paid. The Caliber is a nice solid car with a decent ride, good reliability, great fuel economy and low maintenance. Nothing fancy. It just gets the job done reliabily and with a low cost."

SKS Microfinance Names Social Sector Expert Jacob Ombudsman
By Ashutosh Joshi of Dow Jones Newswires
Mumbai – SKS Microfinance Ltd. Wednesday named Verghese Jacob, a social and corporate sector expert, its ombudsman, in a move which could help the India's only listed micro-lender clear some air about its lending practices and damped investor sentiment.
The microfinance industry in India has been hit by a wave of loan defaults since late 2010 after the southern state of Andhra Pradesh–their largest market at that time–tightened rules governing the sector following allegations of aggressive loan-recovery practices and usurious interest rates.
SKS, which has now reported losses for four consecutive quarters, recently saw a change of guard at its top management, after founder Vikram Akula resigned from the position of executive chairman and the company named P.H. Ravikumar its interim non-executive chairman.
The company said Verghese has more than 30 years of experience in corporate and social sectors, and is currently the chief integrator of Byrraju Foundation, a non-government organization focused on rural transformation.
The appointment of Verghese will help us set new benchmarks of excellence in customer protection and redress of grievance, Mr. Ravikumar said in a statement.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- Tom Glavine has returned to the Atlanta
Braves, completing a $1 million, one-year contract that includes
another $3.5 million in possible bonuses based on roster time.
The Braves announced the deal Friday morning after a final round
of talks with Glavine's agent. The left-hander is baseball's active
wins leader with 305.
Glavine, who turns 43 next month, was 2-4 with a 5.54 ERA in 13
starts last season, cut short by an elbow injury. He will join the
Braves in March after continuing rehab in Atlanta from an operation
that also cleaned up his shoulder.

By Matthew Sherry at Headingley
Home favourite Joe Root gave the Headingley crowd plenty to cheer with a maiden Test century that enhanced his rapidly growing reputation.
Root is the country's form batsman and once again exhibited his vast talent, helping England – who opted to bat – recover from losing early wickets on day two of the second Investec Test against New Zealand.
His 104, backed up by Yorkshire team-mate Jonny Bairstow's 64 and Matt Prior's unbeaten 38, led the hosts to 337 for seven after the opening act was washed out.
It seemed remarkable, as Root prospered where his senior team-mates failed in converting a start, to think he had not even featured in international cricket this time last year.
Unexpectedly thrown in at the deep end for the final Test against India during the winter, the 22-year-old has never looked back since marking that occasion with scores of 73 and 20 not out.
He headed to the crease today on the back of 111 runs in the first Test at Lord's last week, which took his season tally to 757 in six innings, and having seen England lose experienced run-getters Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott in quick succession.
It was Nick Compton who was first to perish, for one, when edging Tim Southee – buoyed by 11 wickets at the home of cricket – to third slip, where Dean Brownlie gave another illustration of his brilliance as a close-catcher.
Cook and Trott had initially responded well to that dismissal, the latter finding the boundary regularly early to swing the momentum and begin a 56-run stand that left many expecting another of their mammoth alliances.
That did not materialise as, uncharacteristically, they failed to kick on; Trott drove loosely outside off stump to feather Neil Wagner behind and Cook fell victim of the sure-handed Brownlie, Doug Bracewell the successful bowler.
However, that wicket only heralded the arrival of Root.
On the surface, he appears very English: upright, favouring the back foot and waiting for anything short.
Yet today's innings, much like many in recent months, showed him as far from a one-trick pony.
Having initially thrived with early boundaries, he then prospered through calculated strike rotation akin to Mohammad Yousuf at his best.
As if he had not displayed enough of his repertoire, Root began to unfurl an array of inventive sweeps and dabs as he approached three figures with a calm which contrasted to his all screaming, all dancing celebration.
That he at no point appeared nervous in front of a raucous crowd made the outpouring of emotion even more special.
It was with Ian Bell, who enjoyed some fortune en route to 30 before edging Kane Williamson behind, that Root got himself in, yet his partnership with long-time friend Bairstow was particularly enjoyable.
If his partner's innings was impressive for its variety, Bairstow's was equally so for its power.
The pugnacious batsman is completely different to Root, a bottom-handed player who favours short-armed jabs and powerful, punchy drives.
That proved the perfect complement to Root's accumulation, much like it did in partnerships of 231 and 135 for Yorkshire and England Lions respectively this season.
Today's eventually ended on 124, when Root edged the first delivery off the new ball behind to give Trent Boult a deserved breakthrough, but that could not detract from a fine innings.
Indeed, his anger upon that dismissal will no doubt dissapate when he reflects on becoming the first White Rose player to hit a first Test ton at Headingley.
That was a feat Bairstow could not repeat as he fell in identical fashion off Boult, who then also had Broad caught behind – this time via an inside edge.
Prior and Graeme Swann responded with an unbroken fifty partnership, though, that completed a good day for England - one which many in attendance will not forget in a hurry.
Evening Session
Highlights of the evening session at Headingley can be viewed here.
7:06pm - STUMPS! England 337/7; Prior 38, Swann 21 - I imagine England will be disappointed to see the day end given how Swann and Prior have prospered over the last half-hour. The former finds another boundary through the off side in the penultimate over before his partner does likewise in the next, bringing up the fifty partnership. Doug Bracewell leaves the field appearing injured to compound his side's misery, which is brought to an end by the close of play!
6:50pm - This is more like it! Prior and Graeme Swann are suddenly finding the boundary with regularity as England end the day strongly.
6:35pm - DROPPED CHANCE! - Matt Prior has quickly moved on to 21 in typical fashion, yet gets a life as Doug Bracewell shells a difficult, one-handed chance at midwicket off Tim Southee. Here are the highlights from the afternoon session.
6:18pm - WICKET! Broad c McCullum b Boult 0; England 286/6 - This is a far cry from the cheery atmosphere when Root and Bairstow were flying. Boult is suddenly on a hat-trick as Stuart Broad inside-edges behind.
6:07pm - WICKET! Bairstow c McCullum b Boult 64; England 279/6 - Bairstow will not repeat that feat, unfortunately; he has fallen in identical fashion to Root.
5:58pm - WICKET! Root c McCullum b Boult 104; England 270/5 - Oh, what a shame. The new ball immediately yields a wicket as Root, playing at one he should have left, feathers Trent Boult behind. The youngster is furious with himself but will perhaps not be disgruntled tonight when he reflects on becoming the first Yorkshire batsman to strike a maiden Test ton at Headingley.
5:46pm - CENTURY! Root (156b 9x4 0x6) - What a celebration; what a scene! Chants of "Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire" echo around the ground as Root steers - some might say edge, but I disagree - down to the third-man boundary to herald an absolutely brilliant maiden Test ton. An innings matched only by his celebrations. Wonderful.
5:30pm - FIFTY! Bairstow (73b 7x4 0x6) - This is remarkable. This young duo are doing their best to take this game away from New Zealand, Bairstow moving to 50 with a glorious straight drive that heralds the century partnership.
5:25pm - REVIEW! - Hearts-in-mouths time at Headingley. Bairstow hits powerfully down the ground off Neil Wagner, who gets a finger to the ball and almost runs out Root backing up. Having survived that, the number five also has to nervously wait for a review with McCullum convinced he had edged behind down leg. However, replays show the ball hit pad and uphold umpire Erasmus' decision.
5:11pm - Root and Bairstow continue to find life comfortable alongside one another. The Yorkshire team-mates have taken the run-rate well beyond three an over now, with the latter hitting some crisp boundaries. He is on 39 and his partner in the 90s.
4:49pm - Nothing quite like the excitement of the previous update, but these two continue to manipulate the field expertly.
4:38pm - They are on their feet in the Western Terrace, at least the few who have not had too many pints! Jonny Bairstow gives an illustration of his impressive strength with an effortless, wristy flick to the midwicket boundary and after his partner picks up a further three runs on the back of an overthrow, Root produces three successive boundaries; the first comes as he uses his feet to hit a full-toss through leg, the second via a perfect fine sweep and third with a reverse-sweep. Williamson's over goes for 19, during which the fifty partnership and Root's highest Test score come up.
4:22pm - Brendon McCullum recalls golden arm Kane Williamson for the first over after the interval and the off-spinner almost gets the prized wicket of Root - who is hit on the pad sweeping. However, umpire Marais Erasmus rightly delivers a not-out verdict with the ball hitting him outside the line of off stump.
Afternoon Session
3:55pm - TEA! England 178/4; Root 61, Bairstow 13 - The crowd are loving this! Jonny Bairstow joins Yorkshire team-mate Root in the middle and gets off the mark with a back-foot punch for four through point before clipping another boundary off his pads just prior to the break. The latter comes during a quite brilliant Boult over, with the left-arm seamer swinging the ball both ways. Root, meanwhile, continues to accumulate effortlessly via ones and twos; it's highly impressive to watch.
3:38pm - FIFTY! Root (90b 5x4 0x6) - Chants of "Rooooootttt" reverberate around Headingley and rightly so. The 22-year-old edges Bracewell through third man for four before clipping two through leg to herald an excellent half-century.
3:31pm - WICKET! c McCullum b Williamson 30; England 146/4 - England again lose a wicket out of nowhere as Bell, playing a back-foot defensive shot, edges a Williamson delivery that does not turn behind. In the previous over, he had clipped a Bracewell leg-stump half-volley for four, and appeared increasingly at ease.
3:23pm - There's the first moment in alarm for a while; having excellently drove Williamson for four in his previous over, Bell almost perishes as he just clears mid-on when trying to hit down the ground.
3:13pm - Root and Bell are going along nicely now, with spinner Kane Williamson being introduced. Those of you keen to watch highlights of the morning session can do so by clicking here.
3:03pm - For now, file Root's effort in his ever-growing collection of remarkably mature displays. The 22-year-old has looked at ease and oozed class, no more so than when late cutting Wagner for four, an effort Bell followed up by driving Bracewell full-toss for a straight boundary.
2:49pm - Oh, to be Ian Bell. The number four adds his second boundary, seemingly mis-timing Neil Wagner down the ground. His version of a mis-time sees the ball fly to the boundary at pace, incredibly. Time for a drink.
2:38pm - That is truly glorious. Southee over-pitches slightly and Root leans into an off drive that reaches the boundary; oh, how the Yorkies in the crowd enjoyed that one.
2:30pm - It seems Bell is living a charmed life at the moment. He has just inside edged Boult behind - it was, admittedly, only a feather - but nobody really appealed. The batsman will certainly be relieved.
2:22pm - REVIEW! - And that's why the review system is in place. Tim Southee raps Bell on the pad and looks delighted as umpire Marais Erasmus raises the finger. However, the batsman calls for a review, which shows the ball was heading over the stumps.
2:13pm - This is really cracking stuff from New Zealand's bowlers, who continue to pile on the pressure. Trent Boult beats Bell with a beauty, prompting a loud caught-behind appeal that is rightly turned down given the ball hit thigh pad rather than bat. Root then gets stuck into two rare poor deliveries, cutting powerfully for four on both occasions.
2pm - Both Bell and Joe Root are playing with caution here, although the former did find the fence with a well-timed leg glance.
1:44pm - We're back under way with Ian Bell getting off the mark via a two before Doug Bracewell sends down four byes.
Morning Session
1:01pm - LUNCH! England 67/3; Bell 0, Root 0 - Local boy Joe Root, the country's form batsman, gets an excellent ovation and sees out five deliveries from Bracewell to end a fascinating session.
12:56pm - WICKET! Cook c Brownlie b Bracewell; England 67/3 - Well, well, well. Just as England appear to be taking control, they lose two wickets in as many balls. Cook goes this time, edging to third slip with Brownlie again taking a fine catch; he really looks outstanding in there.
12:55pm - WICKET! Trott c McCullum b Wagner 28; England 67/2 - Where did that come from? Having crunched Wagner through cover earlier in the over, Trott feathers behind attempting to repeat the trick.
12:50pm - Cook has now picked up the baton from his partner and is beginning to look in great nick. He drives three off Wagner before powerfully hooking Bracewell to the boundary.
12:37pm - There's Trott's first false shot of the day. Bracewell gets one to nip away late from the number three, who edges just short of slip and sees the ball run away for four.
12:21pm - REVIEW! - Well, that was certainly an eventful over from Doug Bracewell. After being effortlessly pushed for back-to-back boundaries through cover by Cook, the seamer responds by rapping England's skipper on the pad. McCullum, this time, makes the wrong decision as Marais Erasmus' verdict is upheld with the ball missing off stump.
12:08pm - England are starting to put together a good response now as Trott whips another boundary through leg before Cook strikes an off-side four.
11:52am - Oooh, a little scare for England as Boult raps Cook on the pads and leads a loud appeal. Umpire Steve Davis turns it down and Brendon McCullum's decision not to review is vindicated when replays show the ball was only just clipping the stumps.
11:39am - New Zealand are once again starving England impressively as Cook, in particular, struggles to get the ball away. It's been a good contest this morning with Southee and Boult bowling impressively.
11:29am - Jonathan Trott, as is often his way these days, gets off to a flying start with successive fours off Southee. Having been beaten by a jaffa from the paceman, he plays with soft hands to guide one through third man before whipping off his legs in emphatic fashion.
11:18am - WICKET! Compton c Brownlie b Southee 1; England 11/1 - Southee is picking up where he left off at the home of cricket and looking dangerous. He gets a wicket for his efforts as Compton, pushing forward to one that nips away, edges to third slip, where Dean Brownlie gives another exhibition of impressive close-catching.
11:12am - Shot skipper! After Nick Compton gets off the mark with a single to leg, Cook punches Tim Southee for a straight boundary. Despite yesterday's downpours, the outfield looks quick.
11:04am - England get off to a positive start as Alastair Cook clips fine off his hip for four as Trent Boult sends down the opening over. The conditions really are perfect for England's openers.
Pre-Play News
10:50am - The action will get under way in just 10 minutes. Cook and Compton will really fancy making hay in these conditions; they say you look up rather than down at Headingley and there is barely a cloud in the sky.
10:36am - Unsurprisingly given the nature of their victory at Lord's in the opening encounter of two, England have named an unchanged side.
Here are the teams:
England: Alastair Cook (captain), Nick Compton, Jonathan Trott, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Matt Prior (wicketkeeper), Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Steven Finn, James Anderson.
New Zealand: Peter Fulton, Hamish Rutherford, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Dean Brownlie, Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Doug Bracewell, Trent Boult.
10:33am - ENGLAND WIN THE TOSS & BAT - Brendon McCullum has called incorrectly and Alastair Cook has no hesitation in choosing to make first use of what appear perfect conditions.
10:25am - The inclement weather also ensured there was no toss yesterday, meaning it will take place in five minutes.
10:15am - Hello and welcome to ecb.co.uk's live commentary of the second Investec Test between England and New Zealand. The opening day was washed out at Headingley, but I've been greeted by bright sunshine this morning and we're set for uninterrupted play.

About Me
I'm Chrissy, I'm 28 and I live in Australia.
I love to make origami, and paper craft, since I was young.
This website was started in 2008, it's come along way from the weird clunky site it used to be, I've spent a lot of time on this website and the content on it, I hope that people enjoy what I have posted about and hopefully learned something!
I am a freelance web designer by day and manic paper folder by night. I have a few other hobbies and I switch it up when I get bored, yes there are times when I get so sick of folding paper I never want to see it ever again! But it is something that I always come back to. It is relaxing and rewarding. Eco friendly and economically friendly!
Please follow my social accounts on the right and share my website one Facebook and google+ !

Do you have a recommendation as to what kind of paper we buy? I actually stumbled across your site today trying to find the best instructions to make origami roses and I love everything on here 🙂 So I'm looking to order some origami paper online. Any ideas where I can buy some that are affordable and decent quality?
- Chrissy - Paper Kawaii says:
Hi there, thanks for your comment! I usually buy my paper locally, as online can be unpredictable, for origami roses especially you want paper that's not too thin and also paper that the colour won't transfer off of. I like to look at the paper in art and craft shops, if you have some cheap asian shops near you, check those out too. As for online, I like the paper by Djeco, this is my favourite http://discounttoyco.com.au/djeco-origami-100-sheets.html?gclid=CJzO3YDJ-sgCFZclvQodO9IBRg#.Vjv4N4TMCNg

Your origami pull out drawers are just plain brilliant! The way you have linked the two drawers together is so clever – you had me smacking my forehead 'why didn't I think of that!' The drawer pulls to – what a great idea! As always your directions were clear. Even when things are complex, like the pop up book, I so appreciate that you repeated the final book fold. I use you mini modular book instructions often with my students. You are a wonder and an inspiration! Thanks for all you do!

Hi, I found out about Paperkawaii a couple years ago and I just loved those ideas, and I still love them now. I just have a question, where do you get your origami paper? I'm Korean and when my dad visits there, he buys tons of paper for me. I'm assuming that Australia has stores with origami paper? I would be more than happy if you answered my question. Thanks!
Hi! I wish I could get some Korean paper! You can find 'ok' quality paper in Australia in shops like Kmart or privately owned stationary shops, usually I use whatever paper and cut it to square as sometimes square paper is not quite square! For the Japanese paper there is a shop called Daiso which sometimes has origami paper, and in Sydney there are few Japanese $2.50 or $3.50 shops that have very nice cute paper. But I do sometimes order paper from ebay ☺
Hope that answers your question!!!
- errido says:
Hi, I found your videos on youtube annd I loved them. Very cute and novel indeed. I have been wondering, though, where do you get the origami paper? The nice and fancier ones 😛 or simply the ones that are made of solid color and not cheap quality. Thank you so much!
Thanks, I'm glad you like them ☺
Yes it can be hard to find good origami paper. I have found good paper at shops like k-mart, the reject shop, asian stores (2.50 yen stores), Daiso, Target, Officeworks…
Try and find an art supply store, they often have nice paper, otherwise online I have bought from amazon.com and also ebay.com
I sometimes use gift wrap paper, comic book paper, music score paper, coloured printer paper and wallpaper.
Hope that helps!

My real name is Thomasina but most people just call me Tammy.
I've loved crochet since I was a child, when someone bought me the Ladybird Learn to Crochet book for Christmas. I tried to teach myself, and failed, so many times before it clicked. But, when it did, my parents couldn't have been happier!
No longer did I moan about having nothing to do.....a copy of Golden Hands and I was no trouble for days.
As I got older, I worked my way through most of the crafts in those magazines, (which I still have today), but crochet and sewing were the only ones to capture my imagination completely.
Back in the 80s, pregnant with my eldest daughter, I suddenly had a reason to crochet again - bonnets, booties, matinee jackets and no end of blankets awaited her arrival; it was something I picked up and put down many times over the years that followed.
It wasn't until the birth of baby number 5 (last year), that I started writing patterns for the things I made - I guess being teased by my family that I might get old and forget them was the prod I needed ;)
The patterns I bring you now are a mixture of both old and new designs - I hope you find something you like.
Thomasina Cummings Designs
PS: You can view my frequently asked questions, terms and conditions here: http://www.thomasinacummings.co.uk/faqs_about_patterns/
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need assistance.
This pattern is for quick and easy newborn size trousers and top set.
The trousers have built in feet (to keep little toes snug), an inside leg measurement of 11.5cm (41/2"), a waist of 40.5cm (16") and a rise of 38cm (15") including waistband.
The jumper has a 40.5cm (16") chest.
The pattern indicates where (and how) adjustments can be made to rise and lengths.
You will need: 200g (540m) DK yarn, a 3.50mm hook, a 4.00mm hook, 42.5cm (17") x 1.5 (1/2") soft elastic, two stitch markers, two 13mm (1/2") buttons and a needle for neatening ends and securing elastic.
Gauge: 14.5sts and 11 rows to 10cm (4") in htr.
The example in picture 1 is worked in the cross stitch design. A cluster design is also included as an option.
The pattern uses UK terms - a table of US equivalents is provided.
14.5 stitches and 11 rows = 4 inches in UK half treble (US half double crochet)
540 meters of DK weight
