Newcastle College is a Further Education and Higher Education college in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The college has a complex history, being an amalgamation of various colleges and training providers. The college is a part of a larger corporation called NCG (formerly the Newcastle College Group).
Ofsted downgraded the college to 'good' following its inspection in 2012, having been graded 'outstanding' in both 2004 and 2008.[2][3][4] The college has attracted further controversy in recent years, with accusations of workplace bullying, high redundancies in teaching staff, and the ejection of inspectors from the premises.[1][5]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (February 2012)
The College was founded in 1894 as Rutherford Memorial College, becoming Rutherford College Secondary School for Boys in 1945.[4] In 1930, the President of the Board of Education Charles Trevelyan founded the Trevelyan Building for girls.[citation needed] In 1962 the college was divided into two separate divisions, the college of Further Education and the Charles Trevelyan Technical College. In 1972 the two colleges merged and became known as Newcastle College.[4]
According to The Journal, the college was falling into disrepair in the late twentieth century. Dame Jackie Fisher, who joined the college as principal in 2000 and later became chief executive of the group, suggests that the buildings were in a poor state due to lack of investment in the 1990s and that the structure of the college was wasteful. The restructuring took Fisher and her team three and a half years, with the college, as of September 2011, turning over £150m a year, compared to £45m in 2003.[6]
Newcastle College is a division of NCG (formerly Newcastle College Group). With a turnover of more than £155million, NCG is one of the largest education, training and employability organisations in the UK.[7]
In August 2007, the college merged with Skelmersdale & Ormskirk College, a college in Lancashire;[8] it was later renamed West Lancashire College in August 2011.[9]
Intraining was formed in March 2008, following the acquisition of TWL Training in December 2007,[10] and the purchase of the troubled training organisation Carter & Carter in March 2008.[11] This led to the introduction of the Newcastle College Group (NCG).
In November 2011, the group also acquired the British youth charity Rathbone Training.[12] The college attempted to merge with Northumberland College, but the Ashington-based college rejected the merger plans in response to feedback from their staff, students and local MPs.[13]
In November 2005, the Times Educational Supplement reported that lecturers who rebelled, "against new contracts, were defeated after they faced losing their jobs."[14] Following cuts by the coalition government, the college reorganised its curriculum structure leading to 200-equivalent full-time job losses, with 188 new jobs created in 2011. The restructure lead to the grade, and therefore salary, reduction of many teaching staff.[15] Shortly after redundancies were announced, The Guardian reported that NCG's chief executive, Dame Jackie Fisher, "enjoyed a pay rise, including bonus and retention payment, of almost £73,000."[15] However, the report mentions a spokeswoman's defence of the pay rise, pointing out "that Fisher is responsible for three divisions with an annual turnover of £152m in 2009-10."[15] Also in 2011, allegations of workplace bullying were publicly made against college management and reported on the BBC's regional Inside Out programme in January 2012.[5][16] NCG vehemently refuted these allegations stating that "it takes any allegation of bullying extremely seriously and has a clear and transparent process for dealing with staff concerns. All reported allegations are always thoroughly investigated and dealt with appropriately.[16]
Ofsted downgraded the college from 'outstanding' to 'good' following an inspection in 2012.[2] It was widely reported that college management had ejected the inspection team from the premises, and that some inspectors were offered counselling as a result of the process.[17][18]
In March 2014, Newcastle Sixth Form College, a Further Education college in Newcastle upon Tyne, was official opened.[19]
In August 2014, Kidderminster College was acquired by NCG.[20]
The main campus is situated at Rye Hill, close to Newcastle city centre. However, some courses and services are delivered from elsewhere. The Sandyford Building is located within Northumbria University's main campus, and Newcastle Aviation Academy is located next to Newcastle International Airport.[21] There are several other campuses in neighbouring towns, such as the John Marley Centre (also known as West End College) in Denton Burn, the Energy Academy and Aviation Academy in Wallsend at Newcastle International Airport respectively and a construction centre at Low Walker.
Work started on the construction of a new Sixth Form college at the Rye Hill campus in August 2011. Designed by international architects RMJM, the building was scheduled to open in 2013.[22] The college was official opened in 2014 as Newcastle Sixth Form College and is no longer part of Newcastle College, but instead a separate division within NCG.[23]
Performance Academy: Opened in November 2004, the £21m Performance Academy at Newcastle College is one of the UK's leading training centres for music, performing arts and media.[24][25] The facility comprises a 250-seat theatre; ten recording studios; acting, music and dance studios;[24] and its own record label.[26] Former students from the Performance Academy include Joe McElderry and Perrie Edwards from Little Mix who won The X-Factor in 2009 and 2011 respectively.
Lifestyle Academy: September 2006 saw the opening of the £40m Lifestyle Academy, for students studying hospitality, beauty, hairdressing, travel and tourism, and sport.[27]
Energy Academy: The Energy Academy in Wallsend is a centre of innovation, training, and development for the offshore wind sector.[28] Opened September in 2011, the 20,000 sq ft centre provides skills training to employers within the renewable energies sector and to young people in the region.
Newcastle Sixth Form College: In 2013 Newcastle College opened its doors to a brand new building to open the brand new sixth form which was new to the college.
Higher education[edit]
Newcastle College also offers HE qualifications. These include Foundation Degrees bachelor's degrees and master's degrees. The college has over 3,000 HE students and is one of the biggest providers of HE in FE. These students have access to HE-only facilities such as Space.
The college previously offered foundation degrees validated by universities, including Leeds Metropolitan, Northumbria, and Sunderland. In July 2011, Newcastle College was awarded Foundation Degree(FD) Awarding Powers, allowing it to develop and validate its own FD programmes.[29]

Halle Berry Blamed For Ferry Crash
October 23, 2011 by staff
Halle Berry Blamed For Ferry Crash, Halle Berry has been convicted of a ferry accident that took place in March. The beautiful actress made waves (literally) in your Catwoman costume, and sxy moves in the film, obviously, the cause of the accident.
According to TMZ, the Condor Vitesse crashed into a small boat called Les Marquises, killing the captain! The explanation of the crisis? Vitesse captain Condon said he was tired after staying up late watching Catwoman. He and another crew member were talking about the actress when the collision occurred. So Halle Berry is (of course), responsible for this accident.
Naturally, no one is pressing charges against the actress (I?), But it's quite interesting that her name came when the crew asked what happened. It is very easy to get distracted by a beautiful woman, but it's really unfortunate and distasteful, that Halle Berry's name was mentioned in this tragedy. It was not her fault, and really had nothing to do with it. It's amazing what people are saying these days.

Jacuzzi Brothers pool filters are built to highest standard to meet the challenges of pool upkeep and maintenance. The compatible filters are a great option when the original ones fail to sustain their performance.
Pool filters have become an indispensible aspect of pool upkeep and maintenance. Your swimming pool would become hot bed of germs and harmful micro-organisms if proper maintenance is not maintained. It thus becomes extremely essential to install superlative quality pool maintenance equipment such as filters, sanitizers, robotic cleaners, and more. Pool filters from Jacuzzi Brothers offer high-end performance in terms of pool/ spa water filtration.
Designed using most advanced technology, Jacuzzi Brothers pool filters are built to highest standards to provide you with years of hassle free performance. These filters have many advanced features that make them preferred choice of pool owners. Filters of this brand feature antimicrobial protection that prevents growth of harmful microbes that cause bad odour. Besides this the filter also features free flow core to achieve better water flow which amplifies filtration, and reduces pump wear and tear.
Howsoever, well these filters perform, they are subject to some or the other sort of wear and tear after optimum filtration point is reached. By ensuring regular upkeep and maintenance, you can increase the longevity of these filters as well as their performance. Maintaining these filters is simple and hassle free as it requires simply being hosed off with a garden hose with a medium pressure jet.
Besides this the filter requires being soaked in a filter cleaner solution so that contaminants such as body oils, sunscreen lotion, grime etc that do not get washed away simply by hosing or rinsing with water is got rid of. The filter after being soaked overnight in the cleaning solution should be rinsed thoroughly with water followed by sun drying it properly before being re-installed in the filter housing.
As a matter of fact, howsoever well you maintain your filter, its performance is sure to deteriorate after a certain period of time. It thus becomes important to ensure timely replacement of your filter with a compatible filtering element. Replacement filters for Jacuzzi Brothers pool filters are manufactured by leading brands such as Unicel, Pleatco and Filbur.

Let's start back in July if we can since it sounds like that was a pivotal time in the Duke recruiting process. What do you remember about that time and how you were feeling about the Duke recruiting situation then?
Yeah that Peach Invitational was the first time that Coach K had actually seen me play. I had been on campus before for a visit and we had started building a relationship that way, but then they saw me play in the Peach Invitational and started showing more interest. At that point though I was just looking at it the same way as I was with other schools.
So then the Olympics happened… How did you deal with the reality that Coach K was out of the country for awhile and you weren't having a ton of communication with him at that point?
It wasn't that big a deal to me because I was staying in touch with all the assistant coaches and they were telling me that they didn't want to take things to the next level until Coach K was going to be back. I definitely understood that and respected it.
Was there anything particularly helpful that you heard from them at that time?
The big thing was just because Coach K isn't around, their interest is still really high and that I was one of their top priorities. They were telling me about other guys they were recruiting in my class and that I was one of their high priorities. So I knew the interest level was there and it was still a very intriguing option for me. I was definitely excited that I was being recruited by Duke and was talking with the staff and about possibly being a part of the Duke Family.
What was going through your mind as you were nearing the phone call with Coach K from after he returned from Rio?
It was just good to hear from him after being out of the country for awhile. I was open to hearing what he had to say and wanted to consider all my options, and take everything in that moment.
How did you react on that call when he officially extended the scholarship offer to you?
I was extremely excited. Having all the other offers from the summer, when you have the Duke offer it just lets you know how much exposure you had gotten and how well you had played. It's tremendous to know that I had a Duke offer and that Coach K was interested in me and wanted me to play for his program. I was definitely excited to see his name come up on my phone screen when he was calling me. He was telling me about the success that this Olympics team had had, then we started talking about me. He had already seen me play and we had had some talks, then he said he offered me and I was really at a loss for words because that doesn't happen to everybody. I didn't know what to say at first but I told him thank you Coach for your belief in me as a player and your belief that I can become the best player that I can be. He was very excited when I committed, it wasn't something that he expected to hear, but it definitely made his day from what he said and it made mine too.
What's the follow up communication with Duke centered around since then?
It's been really good. It's more comfortable communication now since I know those are my coaches for next year and for my time in college. We just talk a lot about everyday, normal things. They've told me that they see a very bright future for me and they are really excited to get me up there and be a part of the Brotherhood and they are excited to work with me and help me have the best college career I can.
So what are your expectations for your freshman season?
You know I don't know, that's something we can't tell right now. I'll get up there during the summer and work my butt off and we'll go from there.
So then you went on your official visit to Duke, what was that experience like for you?
Oh man it was great. I got to play with the guys a few times and get more comfortable with them and I also got to hang out with the guys a lot. I really started to feel like I was part of the family and I'm looking forward to getting back up there again this season for some games and Countdown to Craziness and all that type of stuff. It's been great to start building a relationship with all of them. It's been great and I had a great time on the visit.
How did the pickup games go with the guys? Who did you match up with?
It was good. The competition level is as a high as it gets and the talent level is too, so it was great to see where your game stacks up and it was a lot of fun because I started feeling more and more comfortable every game. I could definitely see myself playing with those guys. It was a sort of mix of guys I played against because it depended on how screens were being switched and all that. Most of the time it was either Grayson Allen or Matt Jones or Jack White. There were even times I was guarding Javin (DeLaurier). I also got to spend a lot of time with the coaches and all the players. In the morning we got to have breakfast at Coach K's house and I had a lot of time with Coach Capel and Coach James, but unfortunately Nolan Smith wasn't there due to being at a wedding. Would have been great to see him because that whole staff top to bottom is just outstanding including Nolan.
So what was most memorable for you either in terms of what you saw or heard on the official visit?
Just probably not one certain thing, but feeling closer with the players and feeling a part of the family. It was great to feel accepted into the family by all of them, that was a great feeling that I left Duke with.
Ok last question, is there anything you want to express to your future fans?
The only thing I can really say is thank you to all of you for your support and I can't wait to be a Blue Devil.

Prevent sub-users from deleting submissions when "view submissions" permission is checkedAsked by tarbellforms on January 08, 2016 at 03:04 PM
I'm aware that we can share form submission by making them public which prevents viewers from deleting however a lot of users here seem to need the Sub User accounts w/ "View Submissions" selected, to actually do what is says... JUST VIEW, NOT EDIT/DELETE.
Usually, "View" implies just that.. viewing. So I HOPE the developers deem this feature as important enough to implement. This way, the users whom I give a sub user account to will be able to view all submission w/o me having to select each form one by one, make it public, set a password, copy the link, then email that link to a user for them to view and not delete submissions.
JotForm Support
I think that's a good reason to separate both "view submission" and "delete submission" permissions. I have raised this as a feature request. You will be informed here once this is rolled out if ever this gets considered to be implemented in the future.
Thank you!
+1 for this feature request - I've since learned about the public sharing via this article https://www.jotform.com/help/199-How-to-Share-Form-s-Submissions-Page. That works pretty well, but it's not exactly what I'd really like.
We're a new user. We have the same desire to provide View-only (e.g. Read-only) access to form submissions.
It's scary that "viewers" have access to the "Delete All" button.
FWIW, we're blown away by the product. Congrats on the 4.0 release.
JotForm Support
We have moved your request to a separate thread here https://www.jotform.com/answers/1053939 so once this is implemented, you will get updates via your thread.
And thanks for your remark. Glad you like the 4.0 version :)

Hidden Message® wishbone NECKLACE
The wishbone is a symbol of good luck. When participating in the wishbone tradition at Thanksgiving, two people tug on either ends of the bone (we know you've played this game!), and whoever ends up with the longer piece, is said to have their wish granted.
Pendants are matte finished sterling silver. Standard chain length 16''-18''. Handmade in NYC.
Shown in sterling silver and 14k yellow gold plate. Want more options? Make it your own with our custom necklace builder.
Upon first glance, the pendants appear as structural and abstract elements until the wearer flips them up, revealing their true form: a letter, number, or symbol. Influenced by a career in architecture, Beth Macri's designs were inspired by the I-beam, where the shape of each character follows the form along the entire length of the charm.
We try our best to keep ample stock of all charms. When your custom combination is in stock, it will ship within 3-5 business days - this does not include shipping time. For full details please see our order policies page.

Slokat is an planet with Human inhabitants located near Cardassian space.
In 2370, Slokat became part of the Demilitarized Zone and was later conquered and occupied by the Cardassians and the Dominion during the Dominion War. The Human population were not harmed by the Jem'Hadar during the occupation and some helped Cardassians to survive when the Dominion began killing Cardassians at the end of the war in 2375. In 2376, Slokat was being supplied by the Lotos on behalf of the Allied Reconstruction Forces. (DS9 novel: The Never-Ending Sacrifice)

I think that is what you will have to do, ask Princess that is, as Mrs M so rightly says. I searched through all of the information from Princess on their web pages and there is not a mention of their smoking policy that is immediately obvious. It is no good looking at the 2008/9 brochures because they will probably have changed their policy by the time you cruise. I will say this though; most of the changes being made favour the non-smoker. .... Neil.
Ask Princess?
Thanks to both people for answering. In the end I did ask Princess who said smoking WAS allowed in staterooms. However if a room had been smoked in they did a deep clean befoer the next occupant & if really impregnated with smoke, curtains were changed etc & carpet steamed, so that is partly reassuring as I get sinus trouble from fumes etc. Other than that, there are only designated areas for smokers inside and out. Mnay thanks, Linten.

… Akufo Addo to brief media today
Meanwhile, the flagbearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo and his running mate Dr Mahamadu Bawumia will address the media today, in Accra, on the need for a new electoral roll as the country gears towards voters the 2016 general elections.
The highlight of the event will be a presentation by Dr. Bawumia, which according to the party would expose the flaws in the current register.
Preceding the press conference, the General Secretary of the party, Kwabena Agyepong, and Dr. Bawumia, will present a document to Mrs Charlotte Osei, Chairperson of the EC, at the commission's headquarters in Accra.
The document is believed to contain some evidence of the NPP's case for the need for a new register.
Relatedly, a political science lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah, has also backed calls for a new voters register, insisting that a new register would guarantee credible polls in 2016.
According to Dr. Amoako-Baah, the current voters register has raised suspicion among the political parties themselves and just cleansing would not be an option.
The NPP has always argued that with a voter population of about 14 million, the country had a questionable and statistically indefensible rate of 56 per cent of its population being above 18 years and on the electoral roll.

Karachi: Pakistan is likely to name Kenya to host a three-way home series against Australia and New Zealand as security fears continue to haunt cricketing in the country, an official said Tuesday.
"Kenya is most likely to host our tri-nation series because it suits all the participating teams as well as our broadcasters," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) director Brigadier Munawwar Rana told reporters. He said Bangladesh was also ready to host the October Test series against Australia. A final decision would be announced later in the month. Sri Lanka and the UAE were also possible venues for the Test series, Rana added. "This is a continuing setback for us that due to international events we have to relocate our home series to neutral venues," Australia and New Zealand have voiced security concerns about playing in Pakistan after terrorist attacks in Karachi killed 11 French naval engineers on May 8, and 12 Pakistanis outside the US consulate on June 14. New Zealand was the first team to tour Pakistan in April but it had to cut short its tour after the May 8 suicide bomb attack outside its hotel. The June bomb attack outside the US consulate forced the Australians to rethink their tour to Pakistan. "The Australian Cricket Board (ACB) and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) have in principle agreed to play at neutral venue, but we would take their consent on the choice once its finalised," Rana said. Rana held meetings with ACB and NZC officials on the sidelines of the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in London last month. He said Pakistan would further incur huge financial losses from relocating the series. Public interest was also waning. "If you continue to play your series outside, then public interest goes down and it's an alarming situation." Pakistan had to play its home series against the West Indies in the UAE in February and March this year after the West Indies refused to tour Pakistan citing concerns at tensions with India.

Birkat hanatan mikvodo
The blessing on seeing a king or queen
There are blessings in Judaism for seeing a king or queen. The one for seeing a non-Jewish monarch runs: "Blessed are you… who gives from his glory to flesh and blood" .The one for a Jewish king is worded slightly differently. It is not currently relevant, and probably won't be until the Messiah comes.
The blessing implies two important ideas. First, the glory and splendour surrounding the monarch are somehow a reflection of those qualities that attach to God. Second, that the human being who has acquired this glory, is after all, flesh and blood, a regular, fallible person just like us. The Shulchan Aruch adds that one should seek opportunities to see kings in order to say this blessing and glimpse this reflected glory. Today of course, now that we know just exactly the ways in which the royals are fallible flesh and blood, it is rather hard to appreciate this idea.
The question of whether you may say the blessing if you see the monarch on TV or the internet recently came up around the royal wedding. I think the answer is probably no - otherwise royal junkies plugged into 24-hour news stations would be saying it constantly.

Florence: "Do not write on the walls," reads the message on a Renaissance stone wall in the cathedral on this city's central square. Unfortunately, the instruction, scrawled in black marker, was the defiant graffiti of a visitor who had decided to mock the plastic sign just above it by saying the same thing.
The official missive, on a wall at the end of a steep staircase leading up to the dome of the Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral, better known as the Duomo, had clearly failed in its mission.
Elsewhere, tourists through the decades had defaced walls and other parts of the monument with declarations of eternal love, political slogans, spontaneous feelings and frustrations or other, generally inane, musings.
"I hate the stairs", read one. "Cate, I want to marry you", another proclaimed. Or at least that was the stated desire back in November 1999.
Very recently, February 28 to be precise, "Jackie+Denise," a couple from the US state of New Jersey, decided to make sure the world knew they had visited Florence's bell tower, designed by one of the pioneer artists of the Renaissance, Giotto di Bondone. They wrote their names in dark red pencil on the 18th-century bronze bell.
For years, officials in Florence have tried to discourage visitors from around the world from using this city's old stone walls as a time capsule for such musings. But the human urge to generate graffiti, it seems, is a powerful instinct, difficult to tame.
So the officials have decided to try a digital solution to their age-old problem, starting with Giotto's bell tower, the Campanile. Having finally cleaned up all the walls along the 414-step climb to the bell tower earlier this year, officials have placed three tablets there, hoping visitors will leave their marks, virtually, without damaging the monument itself.
Messages will be stored on a website and archived, for eternity, online. Any other mark will be removed swiftly, a large billboard at the entrance of the bell tower explains in both Italian and English.
"We needed something to act as a deterrent against new graffiti, once all the walls were clean, and we hope that this app will do that," said Alice Filipponi, the social media strategist at the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, the institution that oversees Florence's Duomo complex.
"Our goal was to let people leave their testimony without smearing the walls again," Ms Filipponi said.
It took Beatrice Agostini, the institution architect who manages and maintains the site, three months with a team of nine restoration experts to clean up the walls in the tower using solvent gels and lasers. The task is not one she and her team want to repeat, especially since various parts of the cathedral, where graffiti remains, must still be cleaned.
"We want to tell people that a mark is not only an eyesore, but it's a real damage to the monument," she said. "Removing the different writings is a problem. On marble, it's almost impossible; a ring stain remains forever."
She added: "We can't put cameras everywhere, the space is so narrow, so we thought that providing an alternative was our best bet."
It's a bet the two women seem to be winning in the bell tower. In the first three days of their experiment, there were more than 3000 visitors, 304 digital messages and no new graffiti scrawls.
With virtual graffiti, visitors can select the background they want to write on: wood or marble, iron or plaster, like that found in the monument. Then, with their tool of choice, from lipstick to spray paint, they are able to use their fingertips to etch symbols, names and messages.
Users are asked to leave their email addresses, so that once their messages are approved, they can receive notice of publication.
In years to come, the messages may be printed and included in the paper archive of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, whose documents date back to 1296.
"Whether we manage to educate people remains to be seen," said the institution's president, Franco Lucchesi. "But as of now, our Internet is full of messages, and the walls are not. We can therefore say that it's working."
Still, the problem has defied solutions before, and is certainly not a new one. One of the engravings on top of the tower bell is from 1899.
"I hope it will work out, but based on my experience, there is no definitive solution to these actions," said Giorgio Moretti, president of a Florence-based urban volunteer group, the Angels of Beauty, which has been cleaning up the historic city for years. "Any initiative is important, and this is a very nice project, but it's equally important to constantly remove the marks," he said.
In Florence, the battle to protect monuments from compulsive scribblers as well as from vandals goes back decades, but it has intensified in recent years. In 2015, the cathedral churchyard was equipped with an alarm system and a camera after janitors arrived to find new writings nearly every morning.
Some have confessed to their misdeeds. Lucchesi recalls the "pilgrimages" of a Japanese class coming to apologise for the damage done by students - three years in a row.
"The fact that the monument is so clean also helps," said Laura Bachmann, a 21-year-old from Germany who was visiting Florence with a friend. "None dares to be the first one to dirty it up."
To the experts, that cleanness is the main deterrent. "Vandals do it where everyone can see their mark. Unfortunately, I fear it's not a tablet that can prevent recidivism," Andrea Amato, president of Italy's National Anti-Graffiti Association, said about the effort in Florence. "Cameras don't hamper graffiti; entire walls available for graffiti writers have not impeded them to dirty up elsewhere."
He added: "But it's important that we don't abandon our monuments to degradation. If we clean them, it's psychologically harder for people to smear them up again."

text: Three years ago, we launched the Big Dig, a project which transformed the lives of 134,000 people in rural Malawi with clean, safe water. This summer, we went back to the village of Kaniche to see how the community were getting on – and we were thrilled to see a very familiar face. Meeting Mary In 2012, Mary was 22 years old and already highly respected in the community. When the Big Dig project began, she joined the village water committee, led prayers and meetings, and frequently spoke up on behalf of her friends and neighbours. She was also one of the people who live-blogged the project's progress on Instagram, inspiring many of you to write to her with messages of support. Mary & her friends can not wait longer,she is busy collecting water during pump development.'M A photo posted by @thebigdig on Sep 13, 2012 at 5:16am PDT The moment Kaniche got clean water for the first time, in 2012. Behind the scenes, Mary's life had been far from easy; she has HIV, and is a single mum. In 2012, living without access to clean water and toilets was also taking a heavy toll. "This was a very unhygienic place," she reminds us. "We fetched water from two rivers and it was very dirty, especially in the rainy season. There were 120 households and only 20 toilets." How everyone's lives have changed for the better Fast forward to 2015, and it's clear that everyone's lives have changed for the better. The water pump is well-maintained, with each household making a contribution towards its upkeep, and not having to walk four hours a day to collect water means people have more time for work, education and their families. Left: Mary leads villagers to the new borehole in 2012. Right: Mary by the water pump in July 2015. The impact good hygiene has had on the village has also inspired the residents of Kaniche to spread the word – and once again Mary is leading the way. Along with some other villagers, she's put together an educational play on using toilets and the importance of good hygiene which is being performed in nearby villages. Mary is a passionate advocate for the changes that have taken place. "Now there are very few cases of diarrhoea and no one gets cholera anymore," she tells us. "I used to be thin, but now I don't have diarrhoea any more, I'm getting very fat!"

But after taking a step back and reconsidering his options he has decided to switch things up and has made the decision to switch his commitment to another program.
On Monday, the Scout.com three-star defensive end confirmed that he had indeed de-committed from A&M and revealed the news that he made a new commitment to Oklahoma State.
"Yes, I did yesterday afternoon," Davis informed when asked if he had committed to the Cowboys.
Davis, who was mainly playing inside at defensive tackle when we saw the Lions square off against East Texas rival Longview, feels the "the 4-3 front" that OSU employs on defense will better fit his talents.
John Tyler is off to a tough 0-3 start, but will look to get things rolling on the right track next weekend against Hallsville High.

Hello! Husband & I will be driving to Boston for 4 days this summer. We love museums, historic sites, local food, and local attractions. What are the "must sees" in and around Boston, Salem, Nantucket, Hyannis, Martha's Vineyard, or ??? Also, what is the best way to get around Boston? I have been told NOT to try driving. Which of the islands are really worth seeing? Anything we should skip? THANKS!!!

What to see in 4 days? Boston, Nantucket, Salem, Hyannis area
Report Abuse
Feet and the subway system are good for Boston. I take you have a guidebook?
The Freedom Trail of course. The Boston Public Library is really nice. The Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum if nice if you like the type of art they have there (http://www.gardnermuseum.org/home). Boston Commons, the North End, Cambridge. That is what I saw in three days there a few years ago.
With only four days, I don't know if it's worth leaving the city (unless the day trips referred to are separate from the Boston trip).
Report Abuse
Maybe you could go to Salem for a day or Plymouth. The Cape is large and it would be a lot of driving for a day.
Report Abuse
How many days total do you have for Massachusetts? How are you arriving? Are you flying in?
Boston could easily fill up all four days. You could do a day trip to Salem by train, or Provincetown by boat, but anything else would require a car. And you do not want a car IN Boston.
Report Abuse
We loved the food tours with Michelle Topor. I have done both the North End (Italian) and China Town (which ends with a dim sum lunch). Both include food samples as you tour the neighborhoods and interesting information about the area. You will not have time to shop while on the tour so you will need to allow time to go back to favorite spots.
If you want to visit the Kennedy Library you should do that first since it's on the outskirts, convenient to the highway and has free parking. I enjoyed this far more than I expected but keep in mind Kennedy was in office when I was in high school.
Agree that once you get to your hotel, don't use your car again. Should you decide to go to Salem, do it on your last day as you leave the city. Visit the Peabody Essex Museum and get tickets to see the Chinese house (timed tours).
The Quincy Market/Fanueil Hall area is fun but don't waste time shopping in stores you might see back home. There are some old Boston restaurants in the area. I still enjoyed having lunch at Durgin Park because we went there when I was a child.
I think the Cape and any islands should be a separate visit. We did a one day ferry trip to MV a couple of years ago and that takes an entire day. We did not try to take our car. Took a van tour while we were there.
Report Abuse
In my opinion, too short a visit for Boston, Cape and/or Nantucket. However, if you want to see a couple of small, nice seaside towns, there is Scituate Harbor and Cohasset harbor. Scituate has one of the prettiest harbors south of Boston. Both have nice restaurants and plenty of free parking. They are about 25 mins south of Boston. Hope you enjoy Boston. It's a great walking city.
Report Abuse
What are you interested in doing? In Boston, walking the Freedom Trail is one of the most popular things to do. You can take a harbor cruise and visit the harbor islands, or go on a whale watch trip. Depending on the timing of your trip, you can attend a Red Sox game or just take a tour of Fenway Park.
There are a lot of special summer activities but it depends on your interests. Seafood, especially lobster rolls, fried clams, oysters, and clam chowder are all worth trying. Boston also has a vibrant food truck scene with many different types of food.
Maybe spend three nights in Boston, and then another night near Salem and drive around Cape Ann, or go South to Plymouth or Falmouth on the Cape. With only four days, I wouldn't recommend trying to do both Boston and the Cape and islands. Where are you coming from?
Report Abuse
Trying to hit the Cape or one of the islands would take a big chunk out of your 4 days.
Consider the itinerary if you tried to go to Ntckt or MV. You'd have to rent a car, drive to the Falmouth to get the ferry to MV or drive to Hyannis to ferry to Ntckt. Would you stay overnight? BTW, I personally like MV better than Ntckt.
Skip Hyannis. It's a zoo in the summer, as is most of the Cape, but you might like Chatham or P'Town better.
I think I'd drop the idea of Salem and spend an extra day in Boston.
Report Abuse
In the summer you can get to Salem by boat, which I think would make a very nice day trip from Boston. Visit the Peabody Essex museum, be sure to see their Chinese house, walk around town, and take a tour of the house of Seven Gables. And dire, you van probably fit in a witch museum too.
Report Abuse
I think that going to Cape Cod or the islands would take up too much of your 4 days. You could consider some time on Cape Ann instead but really I would stay closer to Boston if you have never been there before.
You should also think about spending at least half a day in Cambridge which is easy to reach on the T from Boston. The Harvard museums and Longfellow House are well worth visiting.
Salem is a another good idea. There is an interesting national historic site which I would recommend
Concord is also a great side trip for people interested in museums and historic sites.
Report Abuse
I live on Nantucket but agree that you are best off concentrating on Boston.
The boat ride BACK from Salem TO Boston is spectacular because you are approaching the airport and the city. The way out, not so much. I would suggest the commuter train from North Station to Salem, then the ferry back. All the good stuff is in between the two. Taking the last ferry back might get you a sunset, but I don't know the schedule. Of course, if you miss it . . . .

text: Windsong beautifully punctuates the entrance to this residential community in Prosper, Texas. The wind blowing through the trees, the variety of birds, rolling hills, ponds, lakes, beautiful grass were inspiration for this 85-foot-long and 25-foot-high sculpture. Brad Oldham chose stainless steel for the sculpture's material so the artwork would appear very fluid, like a stream of air. The way this sturdy metal is twisted and shaped requires master skills. The mirror-polish finish of the stainless steel picks up ambient colors and light, which results in a low-maintenance, low-tech, naturally dynamic installation that will change throughout the day and year and will stay beautiful for many years ahead.

The casting of the film is moving faster than an angry Tracker Jacker. Yesterday it leaked that Elizabeth Banks was in talks to play Effie Trinket and today it was announced that Gary Ross has cast relative newcomer Willow Shields to play the role of Prim. He was quoted as saying "It's so exciting to find an amazing young actress like the one we just met. Prim is an emotionally demanding role, and in many ways, she is the cornerstone of the story. Willow Shields will make an amazing Prim and we're very lucky to have her."
In the book, Katniss describes her sister "fresh as a raindrop, as lovely as the primerose for which she was named." I'd say that a pretty apt description of this photo of Willow. What do you think? And has anybody seen her act before? Apparently she was in In Plain Sight... ?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I used to be a junky.
I got over it in an unusual way, Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) which effectively scared me from using heroin anymore.
Fast forward - things are normal. I write software/design websites and things are fairly mellow.
I drank with a suicidal brother one day (I was helping him move) and long story short I put a knife to my throat and asked "You see what it looks like ?"
This was after he had an AK-47 to his head.
He flipped out, we fought, I left, he called cops, told them I was suicidal. I got taken to the hospital (cop wouldn't listen) and security searched me.
A random nurse came in and saw a pouch I had with old needles and DMT I found at my bro's.
She opened the pouch without my nor security's permission and said she was giving it to the cops. Is this legal?
Most officers are going to have no idea what DMT is. She is a private citizen and the ability to suppress information a private citizen finds is completely different from a police officer. Congratulations on getting over your heroin addiction, but please know that DMT is still an illegal substance in the US!

I added a little more as I ran out of room in my original post. If you wouldn't mind looking at my post again I would extremely appreciate it. Either way, thanks for your response.
I agree with Mr. Shaffer. At this point, it is unclear what, if any, charges you may face. If you do face charges, please contact an attorney. I would also advise you not to share details online. Instead, visit an attorney in the confidential setting of his or her office.
