I take offense to the fact that people call my generation lazy, when there's absolutely nothing we did to cause the problems we face. ppl 21-31 are so screwed, coming out of college in massive debts, and for the past 10 years havent been able to find adequate jobs in their field. meanwhile the upper class continues to flourish, the middle class suffer, and yet that points to me somehow.
11 years ago, one of my favorite bands Blink 182 came out with a song called Anthem Pt. II, and the end of the chorus was "...if we're ****ed up, you're too blame."
Back then I just thought it meant people being ****ed up....now I know it doesnt.
I'm shot today...gonna have to take a nap before the game tonight.
Anyone doing anything for the game?
And to answer your question Dez...I get irritated all the time, but I never show it at work, especially with customers. My job is to solicit business from them, not put them in their place.
Gotta run. pizzout fools
Go Giants!!!
Look for me in the stands tonight fellas.

Growing up in New York City, musician and singer Alicia Keys had a special bond with her grandmother. Nana—as Keys called her—taught the future Grammy Award winner the values that she still holds today. The women's relationship is the inspiration behind a new animated storytelling app for kids, co-produced by Keys, called The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee..The app allows kids to explore LeeLee's room in New York City, write in her journal, play her piano and hear original music created by Keys. There's also LeeLee's bookshelf, which contains the stories that Mama Mae reads to LeeLee. Recently, TFK sat down with Keys to chat about the app, her new album Girl on Fire and her inspirations.
What inspired you to create an app specifically for kids?
It was right around the time I had just had my son. I was realizing just how much music is a part of [the stories that kids watch] and how cool it would be to be a part of creating something musical and also something with a great story. My colleague DJ Walton had these stories he was creating with his wife Jessica that they would tell their kids. I loved what they were about. They were about different cultures and places, so we decided to see what we could do with them.
At first, we thought it would be like a television [program], but then we realized what an incredible app it could be. Apps are uncharted territory. Whatever you can create can come to life. There's no format that you have to be stuck into, so we decided to anchor it around a little girl named LeeLee, who is loosely based off of me, and her grandmother, Mama Mae, and so that's how LeeLee gets to hear these stories. LeeLee gets to go to these places, hear the music and be introduced to these cultures. She sees how people of different cultures who are close to her age got through [their problems] and [learns] how to get through hers.
If, as a kid, you were handed this app, what do you think you would be most excited about?
I think I would definitely love the piano. The hub of the app is LeeLee's bedroom, so you see her bed and you see her piano, and you get to play it. [Your notes] come up on manuscript paper. You [also] have a music box, where it populates all the music that I've written for the book. The piano would be amazing because I would find that really cool, and then the books are just really incredible. It's almost like an interactive movie.
You learned to play an instrument at a really young age. What role did that play in your childhood?
Loving the piano and learning how to play the piano definitely gave me a lot. It taught me about discipline and how to focus and [how] you have to set aside the time to practice something. It set me free so that I could begin to learn notes and learn music and know how to read and know how to write it, so that now when it comes to writing music, I'm self-contained in that way, which I really appreciate. It exposed me to new worlds and sounds and different things that were on the radio. I think it was really good for me.
The app was influenced by your relationship with your Nana. Was there a lesson she taught you that you still use today?
I think one of the big lessons that she taught me was not even something she ever said; it's what she did. She was always really thoughtful. There was not one person's birthday that was missed, there was not one person's special moment that she didn't remember or celebrate, and I think there's something really beautiful about a person who can just think of other people like that. So she really taught me how to do that, how to be thoughtful and compassionate and really reach out to people.
How much does the app remind you of your childhood growing up in New York?
The bedroom is nothing like mine was. Mine was way smaller, way different, but I love how [LeeLee's] bedroom feels. You would really want this to be your bedroom. You feel really good in it. But the New York outside [LeeLee's] window is definitely [like mine].
What advice can you give kids for tapping into their creativity?
I would just say to give it a try. It's really cool to try things out for the first time. If you have an interest in banging on pots and you want to try to bang on some drums, try it. Or if you have an interest in painting or making a mess, color and paint. Try not to be restricted and just try things because you never know how you are going to like it.
Was there someone who inspired you musically in your childhood?
A bit inspiration for me was Nina Simone. She was a beautiful classical pianist. She knew classical piano. I studied classical piano. She also did jazz and she wrote her own songs and she had a very strong voice. She spoke out about different social issues that were happening that she felt weren't right, and I think that she was a really powerful voice.
And finally, congratulations on your new single and album, Girl on Fire! Can you talk about what "girl on fire" means?
Yes! "Girl on Fire," my new single, is also my new album. "Girl on Fire" is about being yourself. It's about being on your own path and not letting anybody deter you from that path. It doesn't mean that you're perfect. It doesn't mean you are not going to trip on that path sometimes, but at least you are not letting anybody stop you from following your direction. That's being a girl on fire.

Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) homepage
What are Advisory Services?
Through Advisory Services, IFC provides advice to governments, private companies, and industry sectors on how to grow sustainable businesses as well as to create a positive investment climate. Advisory services have developed into a substantial business line for IFC which involves nearly 1,200 IFC staff, of which about two-thirds are located in IFC field offices, that focus on five business lines:
- Access to Finance
- Business Enabling Environment
- Environment and Social Sustainability
- Infrastructure
- Corporate Advice
IFC's Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of Advisory Services
IFC introduced a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system for Advisory Services in 2006. The system involves first a self-assessment of performance by the project team by way of a Project Completion Report (PCR) followed by an independent review of the project and validation by IEG. The Results Measurement Unit within the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Department coordinates evaluation efforts for advisory services across IFC. IEG's Micro Evaluation Unit is responsible for the review and validation of Advisory Services projects. IEG evaluations of Advisory Services operations are used in all IEG sectoral, country and regional evaluation reports and the results of these validations are reported in IEG's Independent Review of IFC's Development Results (IEDR). An assessment of IFC's M&E system for Advisory Services s is presented in IEG's Biennial Report on Operations Evaluation in IFC.

I' m new about Linux and I'm trying Ubuntustudio. I have a Fastrack pro sound card and I was very happy when, for 35 seconds, I was able to record using Ardour and Jack.
After then I made a lot of tries without any result. I searched the forum, but I'm not able to find a post which shows how to solve my problem.
On the contrary, I found a lot of persons writing that my sound card is not fully supported in Ubuntu and this is the reason why I can't record my music (by the way: I can hear music).
As these posts are not so recent, my question is:
Have I to make a choose between
-1- change tha card to use Ubuntustudio
-2- go back to windows to use the card?
Thank a lot to whom will spend his time to answer me.
(Excuse my bad english)

Composition and Construction
Handmade by skilled artisans from fiberglass. Fiberglass was chosen for its durability and lightweight characteristics. Tempered glass is used on the top to bring light in for your pet. Tempered glass is one of two kinds of safety glass regularly used in applications in which standard glass could pose a potential danger. It is manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal glass.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Remove smudges with a cloth that has been slightly dampened with a solution of mild soap and water; dry thoroughly. Avoid the use of harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. In extreme cases of scratch, a very fine sandpaper can be used in conjunction with car wax to reduce the appearance of the scratch and return the original polished look.
1) It is important to get the right size to fit your décor and your pet! Measure your dog's height and length and write it down. That's right, grab the measuring tape, a piece of paper and pencil to make sure you get the right size! Or just use our handy PDF to record the measurements.
Measure height from CHIN to PAWS while dog is standing
Measure length from SHOULDERS/CHEST to REAR
2) Using your dog's height and length , compare it to the sizing chart (see below) to determine which size is right for you. Your dog needs to be able to walk in, turn around and lay down in his Den. Also, think about where the your Den will be placed in your home and the size of your furniture.
We recommend these sizes based on our experience. Beware if you buy a size too small your dog may feel cramped.

The ZenHaus represents core values that are critical to the team here at DenHaus: creativity, balance and craftsmanship. In bringing the ZenHaus to life we were focused on bringing harmony to a disruptive situation: ugly dog beds and crates in a modern, sophisticated home. So we put some creative minds together in a mission to create calm in a way that not only would be gorgeous, but unique. This is how the ZenHaus was born.
The ZenHaus design itself is impressive, but even more remarkable is the way it had to be and still is made – by hand. Each and every ZenHaus is unique and handcrafted by skilled artisans out of fiberglass. We chose fiberglass for its extraordinary ability to be both durable and light. Since these Dens are handmade, there are slight differences in each one. We love that we can offer completely individualistic Dens with each its own character and personality. Your ZenHaus Den will be completely unique and impossible to replicate.
We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers balance and calm with the handmade ZenHaus, straight from the hands of skilled artisans.

Furthermore,about Bob Sanders, he is a guy who: has Averaged less than 7 games per season over his 8 year career, a guy who has finished as many season on the IR as he has off the IR, has never once played a full season, has only had 2 good years in the NFL out of 8 which happened to be the only 2 years he played more than 6 games. and lastly, a guy who was picked in the 2nd round. Do you think mentioning his name helps or hurts your your argument that Mathieu will be considered a 1st round talent at safety? Personally, I kinda feel like you just proved my point for me and I think most NFL teams would admit that Bob Sanders was too small to be a safety in the NFL and his durability suffered for it.
I just do not see him being selected by a team to play safety prior to him being selected by a team to play corner. He is a FAR better prospect at corner. Teams need 3 good corners now since for most teams the nickle defense is on the field more than 60% of the time. The only way I see him being considered a safety 1st is if he runs a horrible 40 at the combine. Even then, he still wouldn't be considered a 1st round safety talent.

For a team that seldom, if ever, plays from behind, the Branson School volleyball team was tested in that regard on Saturday night and prevailed.
The Bulls dropped Game 1 of the NorCal semifinal to Notre Dame of Salinas 23-25, but rose to the challenge, winning the next three games 25-20, 25-15, 28-26, to stave off the Spirit's upset bid in a match played at College of Marin.
The top-seeded Bulls reached their fourth consecutive NorCal final where they will face No. 2 Priory — 25-18. 28-26, 26-24 winners against St. Joes of Alameda — on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at COM.
"I think that we were just waiting around a little bit at the beginning of the game and they went on a run," said Branson coach Michelle Brazil of losing Game 1. "Games 2 and 3 we did a good job of pretty much controlling everything. Game 4 we started off a little timid, waiting around a little bit too much, but I thought we did a really good job when push came to shove, taking big swings in order to get kills and executing the game plan."
After getting back on track in Games 2 and 3, Branson (40-3) got another big push from Notre Dame in Game 4. With its season on the line, the No. 4 Spirit gave the Bulls everything they could handle, trying to force the match to a Game 5.
"It was something that we really harped on them all season long, if you're gonna lose make sure you lose playing your best," Notre Dame coach Katie Harreld said. "I don't think there's any excuses for Game 4 and for the way they fought for that game."
The Spirit (24-12) survived two match points and battled its way to two game points of its own. The Bulls answered with a kill by Grace Roberts-Burbank to fend off the first game point and a block by Gaby Steiner and a pair of kills from Michelle Pereira to win the final three points and clinch the match. Pereira finished with 13 kills and 20 digs on the night.
"In the last game, especially when they had their game points, we made a conscious effort to not even think about the score because that's when you get distracted," said Steiner, who had 41 assists and 18 digs. "We just wanted to remember our game plan and trust each other. Just thinking about each other rather than the score is definitely key."
A team with so much balance and depth rarely needs a star, but when it does, like trailing by a game on Saturday, Sarah Wallace often rises to the occasion for the Bulls. Wallace provided the offensive spark with a game-high 20 kills and also provided 14 digs to get the Bulls back on track. Yet Wallace remained humble, passing the credit on to her teammates instead.
"We have a lot of really good leaders on the team, our team is good at stepping up when we need to, especially after that first loss," Wallace said. "We just stepped up and realized that we just needed to play better."
Branson got 13 blocks from Jordan Winters, followed by eight from McKenna Becker. Roberts-Burbank chipped in with nine kills, Whitney Hansen had a team-high 31 digs, followed by Cassie Chuljian with 14.
The Spirit was led by Blake Burnett with 19 kills and 14 digs, Emily Cunanan had 13 kills, Daisy Valladares had 35 digs and Erin DeSerpa had 40 assists with 11 digs.

The sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series Sedan (F10) was produced from 2011 - 2016 with LCI updates arriving in 2014. In the US BMW offered a hatchback 5 Series Gran Truismo (F07) and the rest of the world also go a Station Wagon/Touring version F11.

Schematics - Trailer Interface Module
In the USA, BMW doesn't make a trailer hitch for the F07, or for all of the other vehicles (only a select few). As a result, they don't put the trailer harness make ready plugs in the vehicle. I was given an OEM F10?/F07 trailer interface from another market for free, and would like to use it. The instructions are pretty simple, essentially, just plug it in. Problem is, in my vehicle, they didn't install the plugs!
So, if anyone has one installed, or has access to the schematics for the interface module, I'd love to hear from you so I could patch it into my vehicle! I need the pinout for the interface module. It's a 2011 535GT (USA), if that makes any difference, but I don't think it does. An (much more costly) alternative, Right Connections in the UK makes a package that is supposed to work (and I'm sure it does on the UK vehicles), but they would not guarantee it would work on the USA model, so I'm reluctant to spend the money.
While there are other CANBUS based passive interfaces that could give me lights, I really only want to disable the PDC when I have a bike carrier installed - the alarms are very annoying! I've got a light bar I could plug in, if I could get it wired. The factory interface (and supposedly the Right Connections one) recognizes when a trailer harness is plugged in and disables the PDC, changes the rear view camera view, and modifies the stability control...the aftermarket interfaces that just get you lights, don't.
It appears that the same interface module is used in most new BMWs. So, if anyone has one installed and would be willing to play a little and knows how to use a multimeter, it would be possible to figure out the pinout of the module and I could use the one I have. Anyody?

As The New Zealand Oracle User Group Conference kicks off, I got the chance to catch up with Doug Hughes, Oracle's Vice President Applications Development Asia Pacific to take a closer look at how recent developments such as the cloud, social networks and the rise of the tablet is working out for NZ business.
PP: You've talked about tension between the business and their IT department when it comes to implementing things like the cloud, what does that look like?
DH: Large transformation programs became the raison d'etre for the IT department over time. Some of these programs over promised and under delivered the outcome the business was looking for. The business became disenchanted. They knew that they might not see the changes that they needed, so they sought alternative solutions.
This is where cloud came in - they could get targeted solutions quickly to solve specific problems - and it was OPEX, not CAPEX, so didn't need IT sign off.
But this was at the cost of complying with IT standards for the corporation, and resulted in siloed solutions - which is what drove companies to enterprise solutions in the first place.
PP: So what is driving this tension on each side?
DH: Businesses are buying specific solutions to solve their problems via a cloud model - a sales solution product here, a recruiting product there. These are very good at solving specific issues within that specific line of business: it solves that line of business's local pain.
But it is not integrated to other solutions; now it is on a proprietary standard; and it creates holes in the corporation's business analytics solutions by having data gaps. IT looks and shakes its head. Add to this, the key tenets for business that are around scalability, reliability, security, and for some key industry sectors, data sovereignty.
PP: Why should (or shouldn't ) a business look seriously at a cloud deployment?
DH: cloud brings some real tangible benefits - time to deploy, OPEX vs CAPEX, infrastructure costs, flexibility of licensing. But as always, this comes with concerns - flexibility of solution, integration to existing systems, customising and configuring for specific items.
We see many small to medium companies starting with cloud because of these low costs to start, but in rapidly growing areas like India, as the companies grow, they want to bring some systems in-house.
PP: What's the next step for cloud infrastructure for businesses?
DH: We are seeing some of these changes already appearing with Oracle's announcements around Platform as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service.
Think of some of those great ideas that spring up in corporations. Up until now, some of these would not have seen light of day because of the high costs to play. These sorts of initiatives can now be handled through cloud based solutions that are used for the period of the prototyping, and could then be used as a transition area - an easy and tangible need for lost cost computing.
PP: For Kiwi businesses who tend to be small by world standards, what would you describe as the pros and cons of going into the cloud vs not adopting a cloud approach?
DH: Cloud provides many positives - but you need to get into the mantra of standardisation. For a small to medium business, this should be music to their ears. They will get the advantages of world leading practices from some of the best corporations globally, distilled into a common process for their organisation, and deployed without the high initial set up costs.
They can rely on their IT cloud partner to do what they do best - maintain systems and operate for them, while not needing to invest in a large IT department to do this internally.
However, the cost of customising systems to meet specific needs and requirements is costly and you have to question the benefit. Changing Financial systems - for example. A Kiwi company's way of paying bills, receiving funds, and reporting to management and boards is unlikely to be demonstrably different to that of the largest corporations in the world - taking into account adjustments for specific NZ regulatory requirements.
The other thing to look at is the need for enterprise systems. Understand what can be run in isolation, but ensure those systems that need to be interoperable, are - regardless of deployment model. You don't want to buy a so called quick and cheap solution to find that you have now become an IT integrator as a result of this.
PP: The IT world is very much a moving feast, how is it changing for businesses?
DH: consider how you do business as a consumer, and relate that to how your organisation should present itself and respond.
We research online, we chat with friends directly and electronically, we go to websites for pricing and reviews - all before we have any actual interaction with the end organisation. Then when we call, we have the website open as we speak and quote information to the agent.
The sale has so many facets, and if all of your organisation's systems are not in sync - and those of your chosen distribution agents - because you will be judged right up to the item arriving at the person's doorstep - in one quick tweet your business could be irreparably harmed. This is why I emphasise the consideration around integrated systems. Customer Experience is primary for growth.
PP: Are NZ IT shops unique? If so, how?
DH: I see NZ as a country where economic highs and lows impact dramatically and budgets are tight. This generates a level of innovation not seen in other countries.
The ability to do more with less, and this is apparent in the IT sphere. It is not surprising then that many of the CIOs, and even the CEOs of larger corporations in Australia and other parts of the world that I have interacted with have a Kiwi accent.
This drive to squeeze the most out of the IT budget to deliver results is very highly regarded by any organisation.
PP: So Is the pace of change speeding up or slowing? Why
DH: I would have to say it is speeding up. Think of just 10 years ago, a world without social media that we now take as ubiquitous and are now part of our lexicon.
Many IT changes before were constrained to the enterprise. They impacted the public consumer, but not in such a pervasive way. What we have seen with smartphones, tablets, social media, is a change in consumer behaviour that is tangible and demonstrable at a global level. This is driving massive change and disruption.
PP: So what will you be talking about at NZOUG (NZ Oracle User Group) Event?
DH: I am very fortunate to be on a Cloud Panel at NZOUG and I am also presenting a session on Oracle's new Fusion Applications - cloud ready, open standard, enterprise wide, next generation applications and looking at the differing ways to adopt these successfully in this changing time for IT with reduced disruption to the business.

Great kids birthday partyBy Happy Mum on 17/03/2017 11:11:05 AM
Highly recommend, all the kids had a great time and loved the painted plates they created. Ticky was excellent to deal with and Karina, our party host was lovely and kept the young ones engaged. Very easy party to organise for parents - all you have to bring is the cake and party bags!
Excellent Team Building Activity!By Lisa Liang on 15/12/2014 1:47:15 PM
One of the best team building activities. We had a 3 hours ceramic class for our Finance and HR team. Ticky went through step by step with us for the drawing and painting and encourage us to be creative. It is a very good exercise for Finance and HR people to be active. After about a week we picked up the final products which are very well fired and glazed. We had great fu (...) Read more

Both my boys attended a ceramic painting workshop with Ticky yesterday. We were so lucky we had the studio to ourselves and Ticky was able to give the two boys her full attention. The time she spent and extreme patience demonstrated ensured both boys got a lot out of the experience. They thoroughly enjoyed the time there and are very proud of their achievements.

Bridal shower party was fantastic!By Maria on 17/08/2013 10:26:54 PM
My sister's bridal shower party was held here and we all had a great time. Our party had about 15 people altogether attend. We had the studio all to ourselves and Ticky, the business manager, was able to give us her full attention for the day. She goes through step-by-step the process of drawing and painting the ceramics, and is always friendly in approaching a question (...) Read more
Excellent ServiceBy Mark and Joanna on 29/06/2013 8:08:18 PM
We had our son's 7th birthday here and the experience for the children was fabulous. With 24 children at the party, Ticky worked her magic and everyone had a great time. There was further excitement when the children got their plates back. We can recommend them for childrens birthday parties.
Birthday Party at Tennyson StudioBy heidi.lee.376043 on 18/06/2013 11:26:42 AM
We had my daughter's 6th Birthday Party at Tennyson Studio. Ticky kept the children entertained and engaged for the entire party. The plates they painted looked fabulous and each child was so happy and proud when we gave them their plates. Everyone had a ball and my daughter was so happy on her special day. It was a very easy party for us too as all we had to do was bring (...) Read more
Birthday partyBy Ernesa on 30/04/2013 3:52:53 PM
We had my daughter's 8th birthday party here, (girls only) and it was excellent. Girls were engaged, very interested and enjoyed painting their pieces, guided by fun and patient Ms Ticky. Games after the painting were a great fun, and pizzas served big hit – no leftovers. We brought our own music on a cd and Ms Ticky coordinated games with kids in a great fashion and (...) Read more

I took the two boys (aged 9 & 12) that I nanny to the Ceramic Painting course and they both had a great time.

Additionally both teachers present encouraged and assisted the boys when needed which was very helpful as one has ADHD and fin (...) Read more

text: My first post. I have a 1995 c2500 2wd Cheyenne. It has a 5.7l and an automatic trans with 166k miles. It is all original. I was looking under my truck and saw a spot of antifreeze about the size of a silver dollar. After inspecting it I found it was dripping of the one of the starter bolts. The spot is not there all the time. I have looked everywhere in the engine compartment and under the truck. I can not see where it is coming from. Has anybody experienced this? Does anybody know where it could be coming from? Thanks!

Entrance to the cemetery is through wrought iron gates from 3rd Street onto the cemetery's 4th Street., the office is on the right. The physical layout is arranged in blocks with four avenues, de l'Aigle, Estes, West Wall and East Wall, running North-South, and fifteen numbered streets running East-West.

I need some help on trying to determine what is going on. I got 2 - 5 frame nucs installed may 22. one is fine, one slow and weak from beginning.
noticed hive beetles within a couple of weeks and intalled screened bottom board with beetle trap. Weaker hive got a couple of beetles in trap and few larvae of something ( not sure whether it was beetle wax moth larvae- I think some of both) have kept trap in place all summer and have not had any evidence of SHB or any larvae.
I am very concerned about slow growth of hive and have contacted company I got nucs from several times and they have not offered any solutions to help. they only suggest feeding sugar water.
Finally, as it is getting so late in season, august 6 added second brood box to weaker hive. One weak later I took a frame of brood from the stronger hive and installed in the weaker on to help increase bee population. I have been feeding sugar water pretty frequently all summer and have stepped that up a bit in past couple of weeks, We have had 95 -100 degree days for 2 solid months and very little rain.
since adding second hive box started getting many dead bees on the ground at entrance of hive has dramatically increased in past 2 days. several bees on the ground that are obviously in distress. exhibiting very strange behavior. they are struggling, severe shaking, turn round in circles-buzzing- and fall over on back. struggle to get upright and continue this. wings and bodies look normal, I do not see any mites on the bees that are behaving this way.
on 8-6-10 added a super using super frames that were used to extract honey last year with comb left intact.-today bees are starting to work on those frames.
hive box was new, had 5 new frames and 4 frames that were in hive I lost to a mouse last year. these 4 frames had been stored in freezer since april. they were partially drawn out and some had pollen in cells. I did not completely clean old frames-nuc supplier told me it would be okay to leave the comb and pollen for new bees to clean up and use and they said storing in freezer would kill anything harmful to bees.
I am looking for anyone who can help me determine what is going on and what to do to correct it. Please if anyone can offer some advice-I would appreciate it.
I am also very concerned about hive strength for winter. I am concerned they will not be strong enough to keep hive warm nor have enough honey stored.
after reading many posts i am concerned about poison from the old frames I used? Except for the fact that I used 4 of the old frames in the second hive box put on the stronger hive installed about first of july on that hive and did not have this problem.

[quote user="bansaw"]we had something similar not last year but year before that one. We had that amount of snow for 4 5 straight days...got to the point I couldn't reach the top of the bamks on my driveway.
But we don't get tons of snow anymore...it's Buffalo that gets hammered, we sit on the north side of Erie and giggle at what the Lake effect they get. Buffalo gets it the worst by far
They predicted blizzard and hit right on. Every few years or so we have BAD winters. Yesterday I could not get out my front door [got out aside door], it's the first time I remember that happening. It was just the Eastern half of Long Island. The NYC news stations made it seem like it just a normal snow storm. 60 miles to the east , where we are , it was anything but. Must be tough in Buffalo on a consistent basis for these kind of storms</P>

A database of providers of Physical Education and sport coaching has been created based on information provided by organisations working in schools.
A link to the database is available on the EVOLVE system, under the Resources tab. If you do not have access to the EVOLVE system please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
The providers on the database meet the minimum safety management and safeguarding requirements of Hampshire County Council. It should be noted that it is for the establishment employing these coaches to determine whether or not they meet individual requirements.
Schools should:
ensure contractual arrangements are in place which are compliant with HCC requirements
confirm the coaches qualifications are registered with a recognised national governing body of sport
confirm that coaches have a minimum of £10 million public liability insurance
confirm that a current Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is in place.
carry out a risk assessment
ensure an induction process is in place for the coach
select a named qualified person who will retain responsibility for the pastoral care of the young people involved in the activity
ensure that a monitoring and evaluation system is in place.
For full information please see the ASL document 440 kB or Safety in PE & Sport [HCC 2012]
Please note: any schools with an early or later years setting, or providing breakfast club, after school or holiday club activities for children up to the age of 8, may have staff providing 'childcare' in those settings, and therefore the staff assessed as providing that childcare need to be checked that they are not disqualified, either directly or 'by association'.
For further information 140 kB
For providers wishing to venture into child care/early years further guidance can be found on the following Hampshire web page:
If you are using a company that is NOT listed on the database, they will need to complete the questionnaire and then email firstname.lastname@example.com . If they meet minimum requirements, that company will then be included on the database.
When engaging or forming any contract with providers or coaches, establishments need to be aware of and adhere to the safety advice and guidance as set out in Hampshire's Safety in Physical Education and Sport document (see below). Particular regard should be made to the qualifications required for non PE specialists and coaches.
Nationally, sports coaching qualifications are lead by Sports Coach UK who have required all National Governing Bodies (NGBs) to standardise their coaching qualifications.
Coaches qualifications are normally graded numerically in ascending order (see below). Where qualifications do not conform to this structure schools should consult the Outdoor Education, PE and DofE Service.
If any clarification is needed contact:
Charley Mills - Team Manager
Outdoor Education, PE & DofE Service,Hampshire Futures, Four Chimneys, Winton Close, SO22 6AB tel: 01962 876218 email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Coaches with level 1 should, at all times, work under the direct supervision of a qualified teacher, or a level 2 coach.
Coaches with level 2 qualification can, once schools have satisfied themselves of the appropriate nature of the coaching, work independently with groups of young people.
Coaches may, with the right experience, support the development of schemes of work and programmes of study.
In the normal way coaching qualifications are sport specific, therefore as a general rule coaches are not qualified to coach other sports. However it would be reasonable that where a coach with a Level 2 sport specific qualification in an invasion game such as football, also holds a Level 1 in another similar invasion game that coach could deliver introductory sessions in the sport for which he/she holds the Level 1. The same principle would be true for striking and net games, but would not apply to activities such as athletics, gymnastics, swimming or other potentially hazardous activities.
Where Level 2 coaches are delivering sports for which they hold a Level 1 qualification, schools are advised that they need to carry out separate monitoring for this activity, as it must not be assumed that the coach will have the same level of competence as that for their Level 2 sport. By allowing the Level 2 coach to deliver their Level 1 sport or activity independently the school must satisfy themselves that this is appropriate and that the young people under instruction will receive a positive experience.
A relatively recent addition to the menu of sports coaching qualifications is that of the 1st4sport Level 2 Award in Multi-Skills Development in Sport (QCF). Please contact email@example.com for details of local courses.
This qualification aims to develop the coaches' knowledge of child development and fundamental movement together with sports skills through the medium of 'Multi-Skills'. This is an appropriate qualification for coaches wishing to work with children of Key Stage 1 and lower Key Stage 2 age where the focus of Physical Education is the development of such skills. Where the activity develops into discreet sports an appropriate NGB award is required, as described above.
It is the responsibility of the Head teacher and Governors to ensure the safety and welfare of children and young people through effective monitoring of the quality of learning. This is regardless of the level of paper qualification a coach may bring to the establishment, club or centre (please see Appendix A – Safety in Physical Education and Sport).

The report finds that migrants in the region are regularly subjected to high levels of abuse and violence, which in turn makes them vulnerable to trafficking. It specifically identifies cases involving trafficking for sexual and labour exploitation, forced criminal activity such as the sale of illegal substances, servitude, extortion and other forms of exploitation. The report found that some migrant groups are particularly at risk, such as victims of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV); those who have been stranded, robbed or subjected to other forms of violence; women and girls involved in prostitution and transactional sexual behaviour; and unaccompanied minors travelling alone or with adults. Situated approximately 20 km from the Zimbabwean border, Musina is the point of entry for a large number of Zimbabwean migrants.More information about human trafficking on the website of IOM.
