There's hope for people wanting to buy a new home but have been struggling to raise a decent deposit, reports Bill Hearld.
THERE'S some good news for people who buy new-build homes in Yorkshire – they will see their deposits cut by at least £15,000 by using the government-backed NewBuy scheme, according to local housebuilder Barratt Homes.
Homebuyers taking on a property at £150,000 previously would have paid a 15 per cent deposit of £22,500, but with the five per cent deposit available with the NewBuy scheme, this is slashed to just £7,500.
Barratt, which has the NewBuy scheme available at its developments in Derwenthorpe, Osbaldwick, York and at Market Weighton – says the scheme is already proving popular with customers in the region and ten per cent of the company's buyers are already using the new deal because of the lower deposit required.
Sales director Paul Hogan said: "We see this as a game-changer for the Yorkshire housing market. Creditworthy families who have put their plans to buy a new home on hold for the last few years can once again think of their future. It's fantastic news for local homebuyers and the economy alike.
"Many have been frustrated with the huge deposits of 15 per cent or more needed on the open market, and the new scheme is enabling homebuyers to finally get moving.
Thanks to this scheme, the deposit needed for a new home has been radically reduced – customers can borrow more at a lower interest rate than was previously the case.
He added: "We're beginning to see significantly more sales using this scheme and homebuyers' confidence is growing. But it's important to understand that the scheme only applies to new-build properties in the area and is not available for secondhand homes."
NewBuy, the 95 per cent mortgage backed by the Government, means all buyers of new-build homes, not just first-time buyers, can take advantage of the reduced five per cent deposit.
Meanwhile, there's an attractive new home opportunity in The Village, Haxby, near York.
J M Carr & Son in conjunction with Hilton Properties have started to build a five-bedroom, detached family property set in the heart of this sought-after village.
Designed by local architect Mark Tabert, the property sits on a goodsized backwater plot with large gardens and within easy reach of all village amenities. It will be finished to the highest of standards and will boast gas-fired central heating, UPVC double glazing throughout with engineered oak-wood flooring, solid oak doors and log-burning stove. It will go up for sale at £495,000.
Completion on the property is set for spring next year, with partexchange considered and LABC warranty.
It is well worth a look, so why not contact agents Stephensons, on 01904 409906.
And at David Wilson's Bradley Park development in Market Weighton, sales have been spectacular and only three homes are left, so if you are interested, get in quick.
One of the homes on offer is Plot 1, the Renoir home, an impressive fivebedroomed detached property complete with double garage. The features include a contemporary breakfast kitchen/family room, spacious lounge with French doors leading into a landscaped garden and a separate dining room for more formal occasions.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms, with en-suite facilities to the guest bedroom, and the entire top floor is dedicated to the master bedroom which comes complete with dressing room and the second en-suite. The Renoir will cost you £339,995 and is ready to move into today.
For buyers with a home to sell, the Renoir can be bought under a partexchange scheme.
The part-exchange process is simple – choose a new home and the sales team will arrange for two independent professional valuations of the current property, then offer the average price. It is an ideal solution to aid the move from a house to a home. It means no hassle, no chain, no estate agents' fees and no lastminute price haggling.
David Wilson Homes reckon Bradley Park to be its best-looking and most desirable development to date, with each of the homes being designed after extensive market research into what local people want. All of the individual homes have been named after famous artists.
The intimate development consists of just 39 homes, all of which are never-seen-before house types.
Katie Charlesworth, sales manager for Bradley Park, said: "The Renoir is a great example of why people love this development so much. It is a wonderful home which offers everything buyers would need and at a superb price.
"House-hunters searching for a five-bedroom home will struggle to find a better property than the Renoir, and the fact that they can simply exchange their existing home for five-star luxury is sure to seal the deal in record time."
To book an appointment to view Bradley Park, call 0800 590733, open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm, or visit www.dwh.co.uk

But why bother with Moby Dick, at all? If all you need is a field flapping, why not draw it as an inherent flapping in the magnetotail, that strengthens and weakens but always normally originates from the center line? Couldn't the mysterious cause just be a fortuitous resonance that temporarily amplified the flapping instead of damping it?

A dog-eared copy of his 216-page "Let's keep building South Australia" re-election document was brandished by South Australian Premier
It outlined a four-year plan for the state, which is labouring under high debt levels after heavy public sector investment in a new $2 billion Royal Adelaide Hospital and a $535 million redevelopment of Adelaide Oval, and could be downloaded by the public from his Jay4SA website.
But the vision was also backed up by bare-knuckle streetfighting tactics. Campaign strategists and the trade union movement combined in the final week of the campaign in a well-drilled operation, including last-minute automated phone calls to households in marginal electorates that stoked fears about what might happen to penalty rates for workers under a state Liberal Party closely aligned to Prime Minister
SA Liberal Party leader
His elevation came after the state Liberal Party went through three different leaders from 2006 in Iain Evans, Martin Hamilton-Smith and then Isobel Redmond, as the party suffered periodic flare-ups over that time of the factional instability which has been a hallmark of the SA Liberals for two generations.
Marshall opted for a small target strategy in the election campaign. He outlined cuts in payroll tax and land tax and promised to scrap a planned $750-per-spot Adelaide CBD car-parking tax.
After 12 years of Labor government, a mood for change in SA which had been captured in opinion polls for months beforehand seemed as though it would deliver the state a Liberal government and Marshall would stride into the top job.
'I am just profoundly disappointed'
But it has all gone wrong again for the SA Liberals, it appears, although there is still a chance of surprises in tight seats as counting of votes starts again on Tuesday. Questions are being asked about why there wasn't a much tighter focus by the Liberals on the 10 to 12 seats that decide elections in SA.
The count stopped on Monday while the Electoral Commission checked the validity of the large number of postal and absentee votes. With 70 per cent counted, the Liberal Party has 52.5 per cent of the two-party preferred vote, versus Labor's 47.5 per cent, but – in a mirror image of state elections in 2010, 2002 and 1989 – it has failed to convert that into winning enou0gh seats where they count.
The most likely outcome is Labor with 23 seats, the Liberals with 22 and the balance of power held by two independent MPs, Geoff Brock and Bob Such.
Prior to the 2014 election, Labor held eight suburban seats in Adelaide by margins ranging from 0.1 per cent to 3.9 per cent. The recriminations inside the Liberal Party about campaign tactics and why it didn't do better in the city seats that count won't go into overdrive just yet, with a clear result needed first.
There was some success, with the Liberals winning back the seat of Mt Gambier, in SA's south-east, where local businessman Troy Bell unseated independent MP Don Pegler.
Former Victorian premier
"It is absurd," Kennett says. "More of the same definitely won't bring the change in culture that is needed to have South Australia shaken out of its malaise."
Libs' lack of detail criticised
Kennett addressed the SA Liberals shadow cabinet in February 2013, on the day Steven Marshall was elected unopposed as Liberals leader.
He says the likely outcome will be detrimental to the SA economy. "I see Jay as being highly political, I see Steven as having a different approach that would be so very good for South Australia."
Weatherill had a dig at a press conference on Sunday at Kennett's influence, and is adamant that being up front with the public has been important, crediting voters with having the intelligence to closely scrutinise the contrasting plans and being wary of the lack of detail from the Liberal Party. "I think it's been utterly rejected," Weatherill said.
Two Labor ministers, Grace Portolesi and Chloe Fox, have lost their seats, but SA Manufacturing Minister Tom Kenyon looks set to hang on to his north-eastern Adelaide seat of Newland against Liberal candidate Glenn Docherty, the local Playford Council Mayor.
Kenyon said on Monday there had been an uneasiness among people in his electorate about the lack of detail from the Liberal Party, and in particular concern about a lack of clear plans both in SA and nationally for the economy after the decision by the Abbott government not to support the car manufacturing industry. His seat is adjacent to the electorate where the General Motors-Holden factory is located in northern Adelaide. It will close in 2017.
"I think there was a general unease about that, and SPC and Qantas," Kenyon says. "What I think people were really uneasy about was there didn't seem to be a plan to pick up the slack."
The Liberal Party threw substantial resources behind former ABC Radio Country Hour journalist Kendall Jackson in the seat of Frome, which centres on the industrial city of Port Pirie in northern SA. It is the very seat that has been won again by independent MP Geoff Brock, one of the two kingmakers who will decide which party will form government.
The factions run deep in the SA Liberal Party. In the southern Adelaide seat of Fisher, where the other independent MP, Bob Such, re-won his seat, there were undercurrents of ill will. Such, a former Liberal who turned independent in 2000, was unhappy during the 2014 campaign about what he termed "dirty tricks", which he blamed on the Liberal Party. Decades ago, Such was a fierce rival of the father of current shadow treasurer

Thanks for the quick response. I have just checked and the url is formatted correctly.
Even the link to http://www.flabell.com on the first image, which is already in the xml file in the download, does not work for me in either Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Is it possible to make the slideshow pause when the mouse is hovering over an image, to prevent the image from changing before the user clicks?
1. Call the release of the pause button when the user hovers over the scene (same time when the navigation buttons appear).
2. Call the same function when the user rolls out over the scene (same thing as above, the navigation disappears).
It should be pretty easy with a bit of Flash skills. Otherwise, let me know and I'll send the modified AS file. (so you can recompile the swf)
I just sent an email from my google mail address to [email protected], so you should have my google mail address now.

1) How do I make the arrows appear constantly rather than on mouse over only the way?
2) How do I make the first image appear immediately when page is loaded, I currently can see a split second of the preloader circles before image is loaded.
Thank you much!

Regarding #2, there's nothing we can do there. The images are preloaded before anything is displayed on screen.

i am having mouse scrolling problems when using your Flash component in Safari (mac), also with the trackpad going up and down is not possible.
wondering if you have a solution for this problem.
the website is: killaunu.com
I don't think this is a problem from our component. If I open http://www.flabell.com/flash/Fade-In-F... on a Mac in Safari the scroll works fine.
Have you tried without the component?

The Jewish Community Services Building in Center City served as a launching pad for activists heading to Washington to lobby for immigration reform.
HIAS joined a coalition of groups in Washington on Tuesday to lobby lawmakers on immigration reform. The Jewish Community Services Building in Center City, where the local HIAS office is housed, served as one of the local points of departure.
Some 650 Pennsylvanians were expected to participate, according to Beth Yenis of the Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition, which organized the state's participation in the national effort.
A bi-partisan group of senators, known as the "Gang of Eight," is expected to unveil a comprehensive immigration reform bill soon. The rally, which was expected to draw thousands from around the country, was timed to bolster support among lawmakers and the public for new measures.

The start of the school year brings with it the start of youth sports programs. Too often, that means an increase in sports-related injuries. While organized sports provide a great way to keep kids healthy, as well as help them develop important life skills, it's also vital that kids learn safety precautions to use on and off the field. So if your son or daughter is one of the more than 38 million U.S. children involved in organized sports each year, how can you help to minimize the possibility of injuries?
Truth is, all sports carry with them the risk of injury. Obviously, however, the more contact involved in sports such as football and hockey, the greater the likelihood of injuries. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these tips for parents of kids involved in sports:
HAVE A PRE-PARTICIPATION SPORTS PHYSICAL PERFORMED BY YOUR CHILD'S PERSONAL PHYSICIAN. For many adolescents, the sports physical may be the only time they see their physician for the year. In addition to ensuring that your child is physically ready for sports, your physician can offer tips for fitness, appropriate exercise, and strengthening and weight control guidelines. A visit to the doctor also offers your child the opportunity to ask questions and gives physicians a chance to ensure that all immunizations and preventive health measures are up to date.
WEAR THE CORRECT GEAR. To protect your child, regardless of the sport he or she plays, make sure the appropriate safety gear, i.e. pads, mouth guards, helmets, etc., is worn at all times.
STRENGTHEN MUSCLES. Performing conditioning exercises before games and during practice can strengthen muscles used in play. Many high schools offer strength and conditioning programs during the summer break. Take advantage of these excellent opportunities to work with the coaching staff.
INCREASE FLEXIBILITY. It is important that your child stretches before and after games or practice to increase flexibility.
USE THE PROPER TECHNIQUE. Any time a sport is practiced or a game is played, proper technique must be used to help minimize injury. This applies especially to contact sports. Make sure your athlete has been trained to use proper techniques for his or her sport, and emphasize the importance of this for their safety and the safety of others.
TAKE BREAKS. Rest periods during practices and games can reduce injuries. When the weather is hot, they can prevent heat-related illness.
PLAY SAFE. Strict rules against headfirst sliding (baseball and softball), spearing (football) and body checking (ice hockey) should be enforced.
AVOID HEAT INJURY. Have your child drink plenty of fluids before, during and after exercise or play. Shorten or cancel practices or competitions during high heat/humidity periods. And in hot weather, always make sure your child wears light clothing.
Because kids are starting to participate in sports earlier and earlier, parents should also keep in mind emotional readiness. Pressure to win can cause stress on a child, especially younger children. The pressure can come from many sources, including parents. So take a step back and make sure you are not putting too much stress or pressure on your child.

Writing and life
Sometimes writing means transforming the stuff of life into art. Distilling experience, crystallizing it so that readers recognize it instantly and say, "Yes, that's what life is like."
Often writing means pausing from life, retiring behind a closed door, to make sense of everything that has happened, to digest it.
Sometimes the stuff of life is so immediate, urgent, and troubling--or so thrilling and absorbing--that we can't write. We're too preoccupied with living.
Sometimes we break away from our writing desks to make sure we don't miss life.
Sometimes we live with a mental keyboard in our heads, recording notes. Sometimes in this way, we capture a part of life that we would otherwise forget. Sometimes we write down those notes to fix them more permanently.
Sometimes the writing desk is a solace, an escape from tedium or pain in daily life.
Sometimes writing is a celebration. Sometimes it's a way to process painful truths.
Writing is a life examined, which is supposed to be a life worth living. But a life can't be spent only writing.
Sometimes we put down writing for a while. Sometimes it refuses to be put down.

Annual toy drive up and running
The Mon Valley Leathernecks are a group of former Marines, many of them battle-hardened from the treachery of Vietnam and other wars.
But Wally Fronzaglio has watched many a fellow Leatherneck beam at the sight of a needy child hoisting a brand new toy they otherwise would not have received for Christmas.
"Let me tell you all these are hard-nosed guys, but when it comes down to taking care of the kids, they're just as soft and gentle as everyone else," he said. "I'm talking about some tough, tough guys that have been through hell. But when it comes to the kids, they're smiling, grinning and running around passing out the stuff."
Thanksgiving kicks off the Leathernecks' annual Toys for Tots collection drive. Folks can donate by purchasing a new toy and dropping it at any of the umpteen collection boxes located around most Mid-Mon Valley municipalities – from West Newton to Smithton to Charleroi to Elizabeth. The Leathernecks will also accept monetary donations that go directly toward the purchase of additional toys.
"We converge on all towns," Fronzaglio said with a laugh. "Every morning, I go and put out more boxes. Right about now, you have a lot of businesses calling … doctors, chiropractors, beauty shops. They call and I go running."
"They call me, 'Wally the Begger'," he added. "They say, 'Here comes Wally, it must be that time of year.'"
Fronzaglio and his brethren collect the toys and store them in a large truck or at a building owned by the Donora Volunteer Fire Department. The toys will be distributed to needy children Dec. 21 at the Donora Fire Hall.
"When it comes to expenses, all my guys provide their own vans and trucks, pay their own gas, so any cash donations go to the toys," he said. "At the end of the year, I say, 'You guys are out of work'."
The local Toys for Tots program began in 1986, the same year the Mon Valley Leathernecks was founded. This will be Year No. 26.
"Believe me, I've got it down to a science," Fronzaglio said.
Parents or guardians of disadvantaged kids can apply at several locations, including Department of Public Welfare offices, the NAACP office on Sixth Street in Monessen, Bill's Golfland on Route 51 in Rostraver and the Herman Bigi Law Office in Charleroi. Most of the children come from families on public assistance, Fronzaglio said.
"More and more people get on board every year, but it seems like every year, more and more people are in need," Fronzaglio said. "It gets to the point where you have more and more people coming to you for help, so we have to go out there and dig harder for more toys."
"With the economy like it is, (cash) donations have gone down the past few years," he added. "The Salvation Army is working hard as well and we wish that they are successful as well."
The Leathernecks enlist the help of firefighters to help stock the toys. A group of students from Belle Vernon Area and Ringgold - including football players and members of the Interact Club - carry in and set up the toys for the big day. Tables are stacked with toys according to age and gender and price tags are removed to prevent any returns. Fronzaglio said a fair estimate is more than 10,000 toys.
"The fire hall looks like a giant Toy Land, it's really something to see," he said. "One of the biggest things I've learned over the years is to have patience with this. You're always thinking you won't have enough, but it always seems to work out. People are more generous than you would initially think. I see people who are struggling that want to donate and that's what makes this program great."
When it comes time for the kids to claim their bounty, Fronzaglio and crew keep the entrance blocked off so parents cannot run interference. This day is always solely about the kids.
"I have a conglomerate of guys in law enforcement controlling the doors. We have it blocked off," said Fronzaglio, a constable for Washington County. "Two students take one child and they get their pick, so the parents can't scream and holler, 'Get this, get that!' We even have a table if they need batteries. I've never seen any kid walk out with less than seven or eight toys."
Fronzaglio noted two of his group's senior members - Joe Frantz of Charleroi and Mike Yusko of Monessen - who both fought at Iwo Jima. Both are in their late 80s, Fronzaglio said, but both enjoy the benefits of their labor.
"They might be struggling a little bit, but they're out there trying to pick up toys and help out," Fronzaglio said. "I don't care how tough you are. Seeing that does something to your heart."
Anyone interested in either donating or applying for the Toys for Tots program can contact Fronzaglio at 724-379-8888. Checks made payable to Toys for Tots can also be sent to 204 Brokaw Avenue, Donora, PA. 15033.

This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Good location, sports bar next door, helpful staff and clean.
The hotel was horrible. It was dirty, poor service, no WIFI, and an overall horrible experience. I didn't even get a refund after I left early. The only thing I liked was when I left! The toilet wasn't attached to the wall. Peanut shells were everywhere. The comforters on the beds had paint stains on them. Floors were sticky. Shower was disgusting! The entire hotel smelled like horrible smoke. Service was horrendous. No WIFI.
Great staff. Good breakfast. Location. There was an electrical outlet that was bad and it was fixed immediately. Dust bunnies hanging from ceiling
The location was adequate. The staff was defensive on derogatory comments. The recliner was broken, stained, torn and frayed. The bathtub had been poorly repaired, large holes. The bed had lumps and bed spread was faded, stained and smelled. Staff said there were no other rooms.
First morning I went down stairs to have breakfast. I got a bowl of oatmesl and then started to pour myself a glass of milk. The man behind the desk started yelling at me in his Indian Language.Finally he said in English you drink coffee, not milk.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
location could use some routine maintenance
Just your standard room nothing special. Only complaint is that I'm a side sleeper and the mattress was very stiff and made me sore.
Friendly staff and a clean, well furnished room No cleaning service during my stay.
Finding another to go to. Everything.
Staff very pleasant and helpful X
The price Room was hot, hallway was hot, wifi did not work, bathroom was dirty, room had been turned into a king room from a double room. The old headboard was still leaning on the wall. The bathroom wall had some sort of foreign liquid on it. Breakfast was bad.
Window wasn't locked and couldn't be locked. Really nasty for a quick stop. Won't stay again.

Stevens agrees new deal
The 26-year-old was awarded his county cap this year and was chosen to spend the winter at the National Academy in Adelaide.
Stevens also enjoyed a taste of Test cricket when he acted as substitute fielder during one of the Ashes Tests.
Leicestershire general manager Kevin Hill said: "We are delighted that Darren has committed himself to the club for a further two years.
"He is one of the most exciting young batting talents in the game and has a big part to play in our future."
The Leicestershire playing staff has undergone a major upheaval since the end of the 2002 season.
Former skipper Vince Wells and batsman Iain Sutcliffe have left the club, while six new players have arrived including spinner Jeremy Snape, wicket-keeper Paul Nixon and seam bowler David Masters.

The Rev. Charles A. Deacon: Talking about sports helped pave way in life
Banking and sports are a unique combination, particularly for me. Buffalo is a sports-minded city, having the Bills, the Bisons and the Sabres, along with college teams.
Now with the possibility of the sale of the Bills, and with the football season upon us, I am reminded of my first job in a bank where sports made a big difference.
In 1954 I graduated from Boston University with a BA degree in history, but had no job prospects. I thought I might return to college to qualify for a teaching position. At that time a local bank advertised for a teller. I applied, took the test and passed.
I was hired as a night deposit teller for a bank in Quincy, Mass. This was my first paying job. My duties were to process the night deposit bags that businesses dropped into the vault at night.
Since I had never dealt with customers before, I was nervous. Fortunately, there was a trainer in the teller's cage with me. The cage had wire on three sides, and we were locked in.
I worked slowly at first, trying to remember the sequence in giving out the empty bags, making sure to get the proper signature on the card and handing out the correct bag.
When a customer came to my window, I would say in a shaky voice, "Good morning," and mention something about the weather. When the transaction was done, I would say "thank you."
One afternoon after the bank closed, Mr. Wilkinson, the assistant head teller, spoke to me concerning the fact that some of my customers would like me to be more talkative, especially about sports. He told me that I was doing well, but I needed to talk more to the customers. He suggested I start reading up on sports.
As time went on, I began to realize that Mr. Wilkinson was right; some of the customers did want to talk about sports. Since the bank was 10 miles south of Boston, customers were interested in having a conversation about what happened yesterday with the Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox or the Milwaukee Braves, formerly the Boston Braves, or even local school sports.
My interest in sports was low. I played only JV football one season in high school, and no sports in college. Since I started working in the winter, the main sports were hockey and basketball.
When I went home after work, I began reading the sports section of the local newspapers, especially about the Bruins and the Celtics. The next morning when the customers came to pick up their night deposit bags, I was able to say something about what went on in the sports world the night before. What was interesting to me was the fact that women as well as men were interested in sports.
As I became comfortable in the job, and talking with the customers, we began to learn about each other. We not only talked sports but also about our own lives. One customer, Mr. Ryan, loved to talk sports. He knew the statistics of all the players. When a customer saw me outside the bank, we would stop and talk.
After about a year and a half, I became assistant head teller, which meant I was in the regular tellers cage. A year later I was appointed head teller.
What I learned in the bank as a teller helped me the rest of my life. In fact, even as an Episcopal priest I still need to know about sports, especially in Buffalo.

The third week of July produced slightly above average temperatures in the northwest two-thirds of Iowa, with southeast Iowa right on average. We are now entering the second part of the traditional dog days of summer, a period from July 3 to about August 11. It is named for the astronomical pairing of the sun with the dog star, Sirius, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere. Ancients thought the dog star added to the heat of the sun and attributed the star with oppressive summer heat.
Crops are progressing, but particularly in dry areas, soybeans have been slow to fill rows (if they have) and corn has now pollinated for the most part. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, any rain would be welcome nearly anywhere in the Iowa.
Rich Pope is an extension program specialist working with the Iowa State University Corn and Soybean Initiative.

text: Hello, I have experience in Linux and BSD, and I gave PC-BSD a try last saturday. What I like about PC-BSD is that it's very easy to install and to use for the "layman". But, I have found a "major" flaw: When I switch to the virtual consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, and so on), I can't log on, with any user. After scratching my head, I found out the reason is that I'm typing the password on a US (QWERTY) keyboard. After finally logging in (with some password that has only numbers, no letters) I found out that indeed on the console you're in the US (QWERTY) keymap. And with all the virtual consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, and so on..) But I have found the solution :) Since I have a FreeBSD 6.2 box handy, I have looked into its /etc/rc.conf. The solution is to add, on the PC-BSD machine, in the file /etc/rc.conf keymap="be.iso" One might argue that the "layman" would probably not do Ctrl-Alt-F1 and type commands, and that it will only use the GUI. Well, maybe :) Greetings, -- Pierre Bauduin Linux enthusiast since 1996 Linux registered user #64711 Debian GNU/Linux user Red Hat Certified Engineer website: http://pierre.baudu.in/ mail/msn/gaim: pierre at baudu.in -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Stuck for fun or new ways to teach about the 50 states (or Canadian provinces and Australian states)? This week, Education World offers five lessons to liven up your 50 States unit. Included: Lessons in language, math, phys ed, more!
Have you run out of ideas for teaching about the U.S. states -- or Canadian provinces or Australian provinces, states, and territories? Are you looking for ideas to engage students in learning about neighboring states or regions? Many teachers have found that ABC books are a great way to actively involve students in learning about the world they live in. Those teachers share state ABC books from the library, then challenge students to research and create their own ABC books about their home state or another state. ABC books can be created in paper format or on a Web page. Ask the school librarian to set aside part of a bookshelf so students can share their ABC books with their schoolmates. Take a look at examples of online ABC books:
You might also check out this cool lesson, ABC Book of Washington.
If you don't think ABC books are the way to go, you also might consider

LSNJ LAW has just been redesigned to better answer your legal questions,
help you with your legal problems, or just teach you more about the law. Please visit our new Web site at http://www.lsnjlaw.org.
This article will explain what to do if you believe that a child is being abused or neglected. It will discuss how to report your concerns to the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS). Reporting child abuse or neglect to DYFS is a serious act. You must have a good reason to believe that a child is being abused or neglected before you make a report. DYFS will investigate the report. If DYFS does not find any cause for concern, it will close the case. However, if DYFS is concerned about a child, it may try to provide services to help the family. If the family does not agree to accept services, DYFS may file a court case and seek a court order requiring the family to accept supervision and/or services from DYFS. If DYFS believes that the child is unsafe at home, it may file a court case seeking to remove the child from his or her home and place the child in a foster home or other out-of-home placement.
New Jersey's law defining child abuse and neglect uses general terms. According to the law, child abuse or neglect means that a parent, guardian, or caretaker has done one of the following things:
New Jersey law requires that any person having reasonable cause to believe that a child has been subjected to abuse or neglect must report it immediately to the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS).
No, not unless you give information that you know is wrong. You have immunity from any criminal or civil liability if you make a report to DYFS that you believe to be true.
If you have reasonable cause to believe a child is being abused or neglected and fail to report it to DYFS, you can be charged with a disorderly persons offense. A person convicted of a disorderly persons offense is subject to a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail.
No. You have a right to remain anonymous or to ask that your name be kept confidential by DYFS. However, you may want to consider giving your name when making a referral. If DYFS has your name, DYFS can get back to you to get further information that may help its investigation.
Call the local DYFS office in the county where the child you are concerned about resides. Call on weekdays between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
On weekends, holidays, or after hours, call DYFS' Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-792-8610.
DYFS accepts referrals by telephone, in writing, or in person from all sources. If you want to make a referral in writing, send it to the DYFS office in the county where the child lives.
The time frame for DYFS to conduct its investigation depends on several factors. The most important is the risk to the child. DYFS conducts immediate investigations in cases where there is a claim that:
DYFS will begin an investigation within 24 hours if:
In general, investigations of neglect referrals are started within 72 hours. However, neglect investigations will start immediately if the child is at risk of harm.
Investigations of child sexual abuse frequently require additional time to plan and coordinate. These investigations generally occur as soon as possible, within 72 hours. However, they will take place immediately if:
Yes, if the allegations involve suspected criminal conduct. If DYFS suspects that the case may involve criminal conduct, it may conduct a joint investigation of the case with law enforcement. New Jersey law requires DYFS to report all cases of child abuse and serious neglect to the County Prosecutor for criminal investigation.

In need of some inspiring eye candy? Ben Heine blurs imagination and reality with his striking and surreal images. Prepare to do a double take.
Ben Heine masterfully mixes handmade drawings with photography to create each vivid image in his mind-bendingly clever Pencil Vs Camera project.
The noted Belgian multidisciplinary artist launched the popular series in 2010 and recently released his 77th installment (image at right). With his hand in view, Heine takes a photo of one of his drawings perfectly matched up in front of a compelling real-life background. He made Pencil Vs Camera – 77, for instance, in downtown Seoul, South Korea.
For some time now, I've been a fan of Heine's work, which also includes the inventive art projects Digital Circlism and Flesh and Arcylic. But I continue to be particularly amazed by and, well, drawn to Pencil Vs Camera. I reached out to Heine to learn more about the ongoing project – and what he enjoys most about the series.
"I like the fact that there is no limit," Heine said. "Any idea, concept or message can be drawn on the piece of paper. The only limit is my own imagination. I also think it's fun to use simple tools like pencils, small pieces of paper and cameras, but the end result can be powerful."
Bringing the pictures to life is a highly involved, time-consuming process. "It can take up to one full week of work because I like to spend time on the drawing, adding details and shadows," Heine said. "Taking the photo at the chosen location is much faster. Finally, I also spend a bit of time in post-production."
You can get behind-the-scenes details about Heine's creative process on his Facebook page. And if you're a fan of surreal art (or work with someone who is), you can purchase Pencil Vs Camera prints, postcards, puzzles, t-shirts and other items on Heine's online store.
Here are a few of my favorite Pencil Vs Camera images by Ben Heine:

The woman at the centre of the Defence Force's Skype affair plans to sue the military after what she says has been 2½ years of sexual harassment, ending in her discharge.
''Kate'' said her chief motivation was to force change in the sexual culture of the Defence Force, although she added that she needed money to rebuild her life.
In 2011, Kate had sex with a fellow cadet, who secretly filmed the couple and sent the images to his friends in another room at the Australian Defence Force Academy.
Daniel McDonald and Dylan Deblaquiere, both 21, were found guilty over the incident in an ACT Supreme Court and last month received 12-month good behaviour bonds.
Kate lashed out at the sentencing and urged the Department of Public Prosecution to appeal, saying it set a ''scary example'' and would deter other victims of sexual assault from coming forward.
She told the ABC on Monday she had wanted to continue with her career but suffered repeated harassment, even after changing bases.
''[Some] boys . . . thought it was fun to terrorise me and call me the Skype slut,'' she said, adding that she had been discharged on medical and psychological grounds and planned to take legal action.
Kate alleges Defence not only failed to support her but actively tried to discredit her name, including most seriously by leaking her personal medical records to the press.
''It was just yet another invasion of my privacy,'' she told ABC's 7.30. ''The only place that it could come from is the defence force.''
Defence has vehemently denied the claims, with a spokesperson saying the department never provided her medical information to the media.
''Defence has only provided records to official investigators, in accordance with the Privacy Act,'' Defence said in a statement.
''Defence has provided extensive support including logistics, medical, administrative and legal support to assist the member and will continue to do so.''
The department said complaints from Kate had been investigated with the highest priority and it had not yet received a legal claim.
She separately told Channel Ten that she would file a case against the Defence Department in the Australian Human Rights Commission within days.

About Me
***** Working on re-doing the port, have yet to add new edited photos. Watch this space.
Professional Amateur- been doing this since I picked up my first camera a decade or two ago, but finally starting to do it for more than just fun.
Right now I'm focusing on what I'd term as "Jewelry modeling" under the premise that beautiful jewelry already accentuates a beautiful body. I've been working with this concept for a while now, and I aim to either perfect it or move on when I get bored, but that doesn't mean I won't shoot Glamour, Noir, Goth, Sports Action, whathaveyou!
I feel bad for you guys, because based on what some of the models I've worked with have told me, you must have had to work with some real jerks!
I promise you, if you work with me, youll have a great time! I'm told I'm very easy to work with, and since I pick models very carefully, I don't too much to demand from you other than a positive attitude and a willingness to bring some of your own ideas to the plate.
Really, please do bring some ideas for any shoot I contract you for. I, much as anyone who holds himself to a high standard, am still learning what it means to be a "photographer."

Fixed issues in version 6.0.5 of Sigma Photo Pro software include:

- It has corrected the phenomenon that the print size in the print window occasionally goes back to the default settings.
- It has corrected the phenomenon that X3F files are not properly processed when the images are taken with the SD1 or Merrill series cameras and the color space is set at Adobe RGB.

An alternative would be to lift the Medicare levy from 1.5 per cent to 1.6 per cent for one year. Dr Pesce said this would cover the UMP liabilities and would avoid needy patients being hit with fee increases.
The Government has foreshadowed the doctors' levy to recoup the cost of its guarantee to meet claims against UMP-AMIL that had been incurred but not registered, estimated at $368 million to $500 million.
The Government's package is also expected to include proposals for tort law reforms, financial assistance for doctors in extreme risk specialties, and a national scheme to care for catastrophically injured patients.
The Assistant Treasurer, Helen Coonan, yesterday dismissed as a "knee-jerk reaction" pressure from the NSW Government and doctors for the package to be released.
A group of senior medical representatives and the NSW Health Minister, Craig Knowles, called on the Federal Government to urgently release details to give doctors some certainty about their coverage.
"We are now a minute to midnight ... doctors cannot wait until December for this issue to be resolved," Mr Knowles said.
Senator Coonan
played down the prospect of the Commonwealth adopting a proposal by an expert committee for a uniform premium on all doctors set at 2.5 per cent of their income from Medicare.
The Australian Health Ministers Advisory Committee on legal reform said the 2.5 per cent rate would match premiums currently collected, and could be varied to match different risk specialties.
The legal reform group has also proposed measures for caps on damages awards; "open disclosure" giving legal protection to doctors' apologies to patients; and measures to encourage early settlement and restrain the use of "hired gun" expert witnesses in negligence cases.
Mr Knowles said the key questions were whether the Commonwealth would extend its guarantee beyond December 31 and whether it would develop a plan to deal with the catastrophically injured.
The president of the NSW Neurosurgical Association, Dr Warwick Stening, said one-third of the state's 30 neurosurgeons would not practise next year if the medical indemnity crisis was not resolved.

What's up, readers? I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving full of food and family and most likely Pepto-Bismol. Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that really requires stamina and intestinal fortitude, and turning a blind eye when your family drunkenly asks your date inappropriate questions about their life. If you're lucky, you have today off and can recover from the festivities. And, you're in luck! I've compiled a list of things for you to do on this lazy post-Thanksgiving Friday!
Here's your Friday Night in the Big Town!
Eat pie for breakfast
Breakfast is generally my least favorite meal of the day. I like a good brunch that involves home fries and mimosas, but the average breakfast just can't hold a candle to that kind of tastiness. But today, readers, breakfast is awesome! If you've never had pie for breakfast, then your life is a meaningless void where your jeans always fit. (Bitch ass skinny bitches…) So grab that pecan pie out of the fridge and throw it in a cereal bowl lest your parents question your breakfast choice and remind you how large you actually are. Bonus points awarded if you eat a pumpkin pie, because that's like a vegetable and that means it's healthy.
Murder a stranger for parking at Penn Square Mall
Some people spend the Friday after Thanksgiving shopping. I think that's weird. As a member of Gen Y, I know where you can find better deals on merchandise online all year round and don't see a need to actually ever set foot in a mall. But maybe you're the type that thinks you need to wait in line forever and sprint into a store to grab something your kid will play with for two weeks and then forget about. And if you go to Penn Square Mall today, then you experience the awful parking in a way most of us will never know. I'm sure there will be bullets flying through the air, and lots of slashed tires. The definition of anger is finding parking at Penn Square Mall during the Christmas shopping season. So if you go, I hope you're ready to earn that teardrop tattoo. Thug life.
Hang out with people from high school
There's no place like home for the holidays. And I would add that there's nothing like masturbating in your childhood bedroom. If you're spending the weekend in your hometown, it's inevitable that at some point today you'll see a Facebook post from a high school friend letting everyone know what bar they'll be at tonight and how everyone should come out too. Now, if you've made something of yourself, this could feel like a bit of a regression. If you're like me, then seeing successful people you used to know will send you spiraling into an awful depression that makes you face the failure you've become. So, ENHS class of '04, I'll see you at the Wolf Trap tonight. I'll be the drunk girl calling everyone out and crying sporadically for no reason.
That's all for this weekend, readers. Enjoy your weekend, and if you're working retail today, I'm sorry. So, so sorry.
