Twitter Enhances Self-Service Features for Small Businesses
Photo of the author, Jennifer Beese by Jennifer Beese on September 07, 2012
Twitter has introduced two new features to its self-serve advertising platform: follower growth reporting and manual Promoted Tweet selection.
Initially launched in March, Twitter's self-service advertising program enables you to buy ads directly from the website instead of a sales representative.
Not only has Twitter given small businesses easier access to Promoted Accounts and Promoted Tweets, but now you'll also be able to track your follower growth over time. A new chart for Promoted Accounts will give you an at-a-glance view of your audience growth — both paid and unpaid followers.
Additionally, the company is giving you more control over which tweets are promoted as part of a promotion or event. Currently Twitter automatically selects your most engaging tweets, but moving forward you'll be able to manually choose which tweets get promoted.
Although minor, these updates put more control in your hands and give you insight into whether your ad dollars are being spent wisely. If you're interested in advertising on Twitter, U.S.-based businesses can apply for access.

i've been raring to write a review for this hotel. the team here has truly made my stay in Delhi memorable. multiple reasons:
1. though i went for a compact room, i had a very comfortable stay. they've delivered on every aspect that they have promised in their website presentations. a great bed, clean shower area. to sum it up: cool, clean, and comfortable.
2. the whole team, the people at the front-desk, the driver of their city shuttle, have always provided service with a smile, are very courteous and of a helping nature. their guidance made it easy to find my way around this part of Delhi and that in-fact encouraged me to go footloose. they have maps and guides printed in a pocket-sized format which is all i needed to roam around in Delhi, from Akshardham to Nizamuddin area to Rajiv Chowk.
3. the hotel is located right opposite the Jangpura metro station and walking distance from the Jangpura Market. it's a few minutes drive from the Humayun Tomb, Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah, Lodhi Gardens and Khan Market. the free city shuttle service takes care of dropping you off at these locations multiple times a day.
4. they don't suffer from the typical service mentality that you encounter often in this part of the world, they say 'yes' to almost everything the customer asks for, and offer even more, which would delight us. to cite an example, their in-campus amici cafe serves only cafe menu and i had to order food from outside. when i asked them for plates, they surprised me by welcoming me into the amici cafe area and use their stuff and ambience, so that i didn't have to worry about anything. a typical reaction, which i have encountered many times is to discourage the customer from buying any stuff from outside the hotel.
5. i had a lot of time to spare after check-out and before i got a travel connection back to my hometown. so i asked them if i could spend time in the lounge about their cafe, they happily agreed. the lounge has a small bookshelf containing a few travel guides and novels, a tv, 2 imacs (one of which i am using to fill this review, yes i admit they pulled me into writing this for them) and is nice and cozy.
6. not to forget, 2 basic necessities: wifi and, pure drinking water available round the clock and they provide their own bloomroom bottles to contain it.
7. all these services don't come for an exorbitant price tag. i'd say, it's less pricey than most places i've stayed in.
great work team ! keep it up !
i'd love to check-in here again and hope to see the same fresh and clean look every time i come here.

Great food and always, very attentive service.
(**** 14 april 2016 av Margaret Evans från Cardiff
On arrival, service was attentive but we were offered a table in a 2 x 2 "cubicle", one table already occupied and only 2 feet from the other. Nearly all the other tables were empty so we asked to be seated away from the existing diners. Aperitifs were offered but there was no choice of sparkling waters, one only available in small bottles. We chose tap water rather than several small bottles. One champagne arrived as requested which had very little fizz but was exchanged on request, with the comment that the bottle had been half full. There was no mention of how long the bottle had been open.
Lobster salad as a starter was unimaginative and disappointing, the tagliolini was pretty good. As pointed out on ordering a rare steak, the cut was thin, so it was suggested that medium rare would be more appropriate. It did not seem possible to increase the heat to caramelise the outside but leave the inside rare. The burger was dry with nothing to bind it together and the foie gras was over-cooked, the chips were very pale and certainly not crisp with the suggestion of having been kept warm for ages.
Service continued to be good throughout the meal but the restaurant was not busy, so it was not tested properly.
All in all this was a very disappointing experience, having looked forward to the use use of truffles in the cooking. The truffle was only added as a topping of shavings rather than clever use in the preparation of the courses. I could have done that myself.

Herman Cain Harassment
November 2, 2011 by staff
Herman Cain Harassment, Herman Cain in the presidential campaign continued to struggle with the damage control today as questions swirled about the inconsistencies in the history of the candidate for sexual harassment complaints, first reported by Politico.
In the clearest sign that his campaign is serious about the controversy, The New York Times reported that the private famous Cain's wife, Gloria, is in talks to sit for an interview with Greta Van Susteren FOX News Channel Friday the night.
Cain had said earlier that his wife prefers to concentrate on his family life to accompany him on the campaign trail.
Politico reported Sunday that at least two former female staff members of the National Restaurant Association complained to his colleagues on "sexually suggestive behavior" by Cain, when he served as president of the trade association in the 1990s. Political, said women were paid separation of the association after his accusations.
The former CEO of Godfather Pizza – who served as president and CEO of the NRA between 1996 and 1999 – first, said Monday that he was unaware of the settlements with former employees.
However, in subsequent interviews, Mr. Cain acknowledged that he had knowledge of a formal complaint of sexual harassment by a member of Washington's communications staff and turned the matter to the NRA general counsel and director of human resources, that "it seemed unfounded."
Today, Cain blamed the inconsistencies in a hazy memory.
"After 12 hours during the day, many events, many interviews, I was able to recover gradually more and more details about what happened 12 years ago," Cain told CNN HLN. "I was not given the opportunity to think about it for a day before I had to start answering questions."
Meanwhile, one of his accusers reportedly wants to share her version of events, despite currently being blocked by the non-disclosure agreement he signed with the NRA.
"It's frustrating that Herman Cain is going around saying bad things about the two complainants, and my client is blocked by a confidentiality agreement," said her lawyer, Joel P Bennett, told The Washington Post. "The National Restaurant Association released and allowed to respond."
Bennett later told Politico that he would petition the General Council of the NRA asks that non-disclosure language be removed from the liquidation of the woman.
"I will ask you to send me something in writing saying that they are giving to the relevant paragraphs of resolution 1999," he said.
NRA officials responded to Bennett, said he would handle requests, provided they received.
"We've seen the reports of the media that the attorney Joel Bennett is publicly making requests on behalf of a former employee of the National Restaurant Association. Bennett has not been in contact with the Association. If we are in contact with Mr. Bennett, we will respond as appropriate, "Sue Hensley, senior vice president of communications for public affairs for the NRA, said in a statement delivered to Fox News Channel.
In an interview today with Fox News Channel's Bret Baier, Cain asked if women should be freed of tenders.
"I can not answer that now, Bret, because there are legal implications," said Cain, adding that he would discuss the matter with an attorney.
When pressed on whether he had broken the agreement itself discussing the accusations of the media, the candidate said no. "Having never used his name," said Cain. "One of them, I did not even know the name."
Mr. Cain also suggested that his race may have been a motivation in the revelation of the story.
"I think the answer is yes, but we have no evidence to support it," Cain said to Fox News when asked by FOX contributor Charles Krauthammer if he believed that race was a factor.
"We believe that yes, there are some people who are Democrats, liberals do not want to see me win the nomination, and could have some people on the right that does not want me -. Because I'm not the appointment, the establishment candidate unquote "he said.
"In relation to the left believe that race is a factor bigger," he continued. "I do not think it is a determining factor on the right."
As ain continued to deny the accusations, calling them part of a "smear campaign", which may have given a boost to his war booty of the campaign.
Fox News reported that Mr. Cain campaign uses the scandal to achieve its best-ever day in terms of total fundraising on Monday, bringing in and 290,000.

Sorry this is a bit late; I've had unexpected relatives today.
Many, many thanks to everyone who's reviewed; I'm particularly impressed to have been reviewed by three of my favourite writers; Tweeter, Richefic and Celestial.
All your questions will be answered…
He was cut off abruptly as Gibbs grabbed him by the shoulders of his hazmat suit and slammed him into the nearest wall, getting right up in his face; or his mask, at least.
"What the hell did you give to Tony?" He demanded.
"I told you," the doctor blustered. "Prophylactics; vitamins, broad spectrum antibiotics, antivirals… You all had the same…" Gibbs slammed his back into the bulkhead again.
"He told me he'd been drugged; and believe me he knows what that feels like. What did you give him?" Hansen stared into eyes burning with rage; they were a lot worse this close up.
"There was nothing harmful, I swear!" He said, voice shrill and panicky.
Gibbs' voice dropped to a menacing growl. "I am not going to ask again, Doctor. What did you do to my agent?"
"I… It was just a sedative, that's all! And it was for his own good…"
"You drugged a patient without his knowledge or consent." Said Ducky, disgusted. "And you call yourself a doctor?"
"He needed that IV," explained Hansen miserably. "With his history, he was the most vulnerable of you all and he wouldn't take something that could save his life. I had to do it; it was a chemical restraint or a physical one and I couldn't do that to a patient until I knew beyond a doubt he was sick…"
"You drugged him to stick a needle in his hand?" Asked Gibbs incredulously. "And you didn't even tell us, when we thought he could have been dying?"
"All I wanted to do was give your friend the best possible chance of survival, Agent Gibbs. It was the only way…"
"I want Tony back in here where we can keep an eye on him," Gibbs commanded.
"Ok; ok if that's what you want."
"It is; and I want another call to my director so I can tell her she has another career to end. From now on, you don't give any medication to any of us without Dr Mallard's approval; are we clear?"
"Clear, Agent Gibbs; just please, let me go?" Gibbs shoved himself away from the thoroughly cowed Hansen and wiped his hands on his sweats in revulsion.
"Get out of my sight," he said. "And get Tony back in here in the next five minutes or next time I see you I won't stop at a shove. And believe me, I will see you again."
The terrified Hansen scuttled towards the door; Ziva tripped him expertly and his head slammed into the glass as he fell. She leaned close and whispered something. Hansen's eyes widened in terror. He scrambled away on all fours, dragging himself up to pass through the iris scan and leave the sickbay.
"What did you say to him, Ziva?" Asked McGee.
"Nothing much, McGee," she said, sounding pleased with herself. "I simply informed him of what I would do with his testicles if he failed to obey Gibbs' orders."
Gibbs smiled. "Good job, Ziva."
Jenny rounded on Skinner. "Why the hell didn't you tell me there was radioactive material on that ship?" She demanded.
The commander couldn'tve looked more surprised if she'd asked him if he was wearing ladies underwear.
"What? How did he... You must be mistaken..." Skinner stuttered.
"Lieutenant Sanders died from radiation poisoning, Commander," Shepard informed him. "And I am waiting for an answer!"
"It's... need to know, Director. You didn't, and neither did Agent Gibbs until he was already on the ship and we didn't have a safe way to contact him. It was a matter of national security..." Jenny's patience snapped.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs has done more in the name of national security than you ever will, you pen pushing bureaucratic piece of crap!" She yelled. "And if you don't tell me what the hell is going on in the next ten seconds I'll shove that bug sweeper so far up your ass you'll be chewing on it!"
"Uh, Director?" Said Cynthia through the intercom.
Jenny managed to control her voice. "What is it, Cynthia?"
"The Secretary of the Navy is here to see you. And these walls aren't that thick."
"Send him in," Jenny replied, taking a deep breath.
True to his word, Hansen sent Clarke and Simmonds, the two corpsmen, to deliver Tony back into the main sickbay. True to Gibbs', he wisely didn't accompany them.
"About damn time," said Gibbs, furiously.
"I'm sorry about that, Agent Gibbs," said Clarke, manoeuvring the bed back into place. He grinned. "Dr Hansen had to go change his pants before he gave us orders to bring Agent DiNozzo back in." Ziva chuckled softly.
"And for the record, we didn't know he'd drugged your friend," added Simmonds, checking the IV line in Tony's left hand. "Although I'd pay good money to see the arrogant SOB piss his pants again. You want me to take the IV out before he wakes up?"
Ducky joined Gibbs by Tony's side. "What was the drug; and the dosage?" He asked, recognising that Gibbs wasn't going to speak. He'd stopped listening; the silver haired man simply gazed down into the peaceful face of his senior field agent. Tony's stillness just seemed wrong. It was too like the plague; and that frightened him more than he was willing to admit. Tony looked so young…
"Jethro?" Ducky placed a hand on his friend's arm.
Gibbs blinked several times; and then saw that the hated needle was still in Tony's hand. "Why the hell is that still there?" He asked dangerously.
"Hansen was right about one thing; despicable as he is," Ducky replied. "Tony does need that IV. It's nearly empty and he'll be unconscious for at least another hour; I'll take it out before he wakes."
"All right," said Gibbs grudgingly. "How much longer before we get the blood tests back?"
"With any luck, we should have the results by morning. And since it's very unlikely that we could have been infected without showing some kind of symptoms by now, I think it's safe to say they'll be negative."
"Good." Gibbs looked around to see the whole team gathered around Tony's bed. "What are you all doing?" He asked. "Go and get some sleep."
"Yes, boss," said the still green McGee, heading back to his bed. Ziva bent and said something in Hebrew to the unconscious Tony before moving away; it sounded like a blessing.
Ducky stretched and took a seat on the edge of Tony's bed. "I have to wait and take the needle out," he said. "Go on, Jethro; he's fine. Follow your own advice."
"See you in the morning, Duck," said Gibbs, doing just that.
"Jenny," said the SecNav, entering the office. "Always a pleasure. And may I say, you're in fine voice today."
"I'm sorry you had to hear that, Philip," she replied with a smile, as he pecked her on the cheek. "But it's been a long day; mostly thanks to Commander Skinner. Please, sit."
"Thank you. You may leave us, Commander; Director Shepard and I have things to discuss which lie significantly above your security clearance."
"Just wait outside with Cynthia," said Jenny, smirking.
"Yes, Sir; ma'am." Skinner saluted and left, looking highly resentful.
"Now; I've been fully briefed on the situation," said the SecNav, as the door closed behind him. "I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the Chimera's crew, with the exception of Ferris, the radio operator, have been picked up by the USS Foster. Midas the cook I understand is aboard the Hydra with your people. The area around the wreck has been checked for survivors, but it looks unlikely that any of the intruders made it."
"Do you know who gave the order to blow up the Chimera?" Asked Jenny.
"I don't; but I'm trying very hard to find out. It was definitely someone higher up the chain of command than me."
"They almost killed five of my best people, Philip."
"I know; and I'm as pissed as you are. But on a positive note, I've had a message from the Hydra and it seems that Agent DiNozzo's illness was a false alarm."
"Thank God," said Jenny in relief. "Tony is the second best agent I've ever worked with; and I hate to think what Gibbs would have done to Skinner if anything had happened to him. I would have been doing the paperwork for weeks."
"On that subject, I've also received a complaint from the Hydra's chief medic that he was physically assaulted and threatened by Agent Gibbs and Officer David."
"Same old Jethro; he's very protective of his team."
"Considering the situation, I'm sure we can overlook the incident."
"D'you want to tell me what's going on, Philip? Because Skinner won't and Gibbs can't, except in code. I know there were nuclear as well as biological weapons aboard that ship."
"The Chimera was carrying a Russian nuclear warhead that had been recovered from the sea floor by divers. Dr Takada was investigating the effect of the radiation on the bacteria in the sea floor around it. The virus that killed him was brought on board by Ferris; there was never any serious biological threat. But since he was the only doctor on board, the crew weren't to know that. They abandoned ship and Ferris stayed behind to help his Russian friends recover their warhead."
"The only thing he didn't count on was Gibbs showing up and stealing the missile first. He and his team made off in the Russian's boat with the warhead and then the intruders got crisped by the missile. Provided the blood tests come back clear, which I understand is very likely, I see no reason why your people can't return to DC tomorrow."
"That's excellent news, Philip. And Skinner?"
"Is going to receive a new assignment pushing paper. His handling of the situation has been a disaster."
"Thank you for coming by to fill me in, Philip. Getting information on this operation has been next to impossible. Can I offer you a drink?"
"No; I'm afraid I have to be going. Cleaning up this mess is going to take a lot of my time." He rose and they shook hands.
"Well, then I appreciate your personal visit even more," said Jenny warmly.
"You are most welcome, Jenny. I'll keep you informed on what I find out. Oh, and do feel free to let Gibbs know what is going on; unofficially, of course."
"Knowing Jethro, he probably figured it out before anyone else."
The SecNav chuckled. "It wouldn't surprise me. I'll stay in touch." He left, closing the door behind him. Jenny poured herself a drink and curled up on her couch, kicking off her heels. It had indeed been a long day.
Tony groaned; someone was poking him.
"Come on, Tony," said Ziva. "It's time to wake up."
"Does anyone have any superglue?" Asked McGee. "Or maybe a permanent marker?"
"Really, Timothy; you shouldn't take advantage of poor Anthony," Ducky chided gently.
"D'you think another needle in his butt would wake him?" Asked Ziva.
Tony sat bolt upright. "I'm awake, I'm awake! What happened?"
"Hansen drugged you to get an IV in your arm," drawled Gibbs. "Don't worry; I had Ducky take it out."
"The blood tests?" He asked warily.
"All negative, my dear boy. In fact, our helicopter should be arriving soon to take us back to Anacostia."
"I can't wait," said McGee miserably. "I've been permanently seasick for two whole days."
"It's not easy being green, Captain Smallit," Tony grinned. Gibbs smacked him on the head.
"Shut up and get moving, Gonzo," he ordered.
"Yes, boss."
Ziva looked between them as if they were completely insane. "I have no idea what you are talking about," she said.
"I'll lend you the DVD, Miss Piggy," said Tony. Ziva's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"If you were familiar with the character, my dear, I'm sure you'd be rather flattered," said Ducky. "Come along; it's almost time for our flight."
Let me know what you thought.

The LG KF750 Secret is the most exciting phone to land so far this year. It looks dreamy, it's loaded with features and it's as tough as a honey badger.
Mobile Choice will of course be giving the phone a full review very shortly, but these are our first thoughts after one full day with the phone.
The phone feels as good as it looks. It's perfectly weighted for a luxury handset and manages to marry great styling with a really robust build. The tempered glass screen is promoted as being scratch proof. We'd like to say that we really gave it a beating, but the phone is just too pretty to be mean to, so we had to make do with jabbing it with our house keys a few times. However, while it seems immune to key scratches it does attract fingerprint smudges, so regular polishing is required.
As for the rest of the device, the top is encased in toughened plastic, the back is carbon fiber and the sides and base of the phone have a rubberised feel. All of the materials feel tough, sleek and expensive, which is some feat.
The KF750 is not a full touchscreen phone in the mould of the Apple iPhone or the LG Viewty. Instead, the handset offers six touch-sensitive keys which sit just beneath the display, as well as four mechanical soft keys. As with other handsets which employ a similar semi-touchscreen system, it works to a point.
When menu options appear on screen, your instinct is to press them to interact with them as you can with the Viewty, the KF700 or the iPhone. You must get used to operating the phone with a combination of haptic (vibrating) virtual keys and mechanical keys.
However, you have to hand it to LG, they know how to make virtual haptic keys sexy. Every time you press one, as well as feeling a small vibration, you'll see a ripple effect of blue neon light which looks very pretty.
The LG Secret has grabbed headlines for being the world's slimmest mobile to carry a 5 megapioxel camera. But is the camera any good? To be honest, there's such a demand for more megapixels that most consumers will be happy just to have the 5 megapixel boxed ticked. The camera functions in the same way as the version on other recent LG phones, with a series of on-screen settings and commands which are navigated with the virtual four-way joypad.
Functions include macro and a flash that can be set to automatic and settings include brightness, white balance, ISO, timer, continuous shot and panoramic.
The shutter speed is quick and the shots appear clear, even indoors. Our only niggle concerned the touch sensitive controls, which are a little fiddly while navigating settings.
There are also a couple of editing 'cheats' if your photo making skills are not quite up to scratch. Morphing lets you edit a subject's face (streching noses and padding lips, etc), while SmartLight auto-sdjusts the picture's light settings.
The LG Secret has loads of tricks up its sleeve, including the Yahoo search engine, the mobile broadband HSDPA browsing speeds and the DivX quality video. But the feature that really makes us smile is the gaming functionality.
Choose M-Toy in the Secret's games menu and you'll be able to choose from six games which all employ the phone's accelerometer or movement sensor. For example, if you're playing the darts game, you aim the dart by tilting the phone gently from left to right and throws the dart by flicking the wrist. Flick it too softyle and you'll aim low, flick it hard and you'll aim high. It's simple to grasp, tough to master and, as a one-handed game, works perfectly on a mobile phone.
Other 'accelerometer' games such as Magic Ball, Maze, Fishing, Hammer and Homerun Derby (baseball), all employ similar gameplay principles, but all work brilliantly.
The games are so impressive that you can't help feeling that this, rather than N-Gage could be the future of mobile gaming.
We've only given you a quick overview of this phone's capabilities, so you'll have to watch out for our full review for the complete product rating. However, while the LG Secret is not perfect, it's without doubt the most exciting and well put together phone we've yet seen this year.

The Time Machine
In this film based on the classic novel by H.G. Wells, a scientist (Rod Taylor) invents a time machine that allows him to explore the earth's distant future -- a place of idyllic beauty that also harbors a sinister evil. Co-starring Yvette Mimieux as a docile inhabitant of the future, this sci-fi classic won an Oscar for its trippy special effects that were hands-down ahead of their time. Beware the Morlocks!

THREE SPRINGS Creating a Satisfying Lifestyle
- Jessica Small

1 THREE SPRINGS Creating a Satisfying Lifestyle A village of rural renewal that will inherently have meaning and purpose, and will provide children with a safe, stimulating, beautiful environment in which to live and learn. 1
2 Three Springs is a design concept for a living community. Essentially it is a village, containing all the ecological, biological, and sociological elements needed to promote a sustainable, holistic, and quality lifestyle. It is proposed as an inspiring model for the wider community. The nucleus of the village will be a school. The school will provide a genuine heart, where emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, kinesthetic intelligence, and beauty are prized. It will infuse enthusiasm and purpose into the entire project. The workshops, homes, farms, and businesses; craftspeople, artists, families and individuals will have a direct, practical link to the educational provision. School as Heart 'In an age of secularism I hope with all my heart that, in the new millennium, we will begin to rediscover a sense of the sacred in all that surrounds us, whether in the way we grow our crops or raise our livestock on the land that God has given us, whether in the way we create places for people to live in the countryside we have inherited, whether in the way we treat disease in our fellow human beings or whether in the way we educate or motivate our young people. Prince Charles 2000 The School Within the pattern of homes and buildings, paths and gardens, fields and flowers - at the heart of the community, stands the school. It will focus and inspire the entire Three Springs endeavour. The school will provide for twelve classes and three kindergartens of approximately fifteen children each. It will be a unique educational environment that responds to an ever-present need for an alternative education that will encourage a committed, gradually changing group of parents and other family members into the locality. Learning/Life Interface The wonderful result of designing an ecologically and socially sustainable community is that it is also an excellent context for educational life. Those factors that make the community self- supporting and self-regulating will become living, learning situations for the students. The school will have buildings and beautiful grounds that may be used for community activities such as seasonal festivals and cultural events. It will provide a meeting place for the local and wider community. The elderly will be given their rightful place within the social fabric of the community, both they and the children benefiting from the interchange of wisdom and energy. The school will be a healthy focus for the community as it involves those most precious to us, and also gives the villagers a worthwhile creative task that is constantly evolving. 2
3 Living In And Around The Village People who are attracted towards the village will be fully autonomous. They may choose to buy privately in the surrounding area as properties are offered for sale, or to purchase land from Three Springs. In the latter case, covenants will protect land use and building design so that the ecological and educational ideals are enhanced. No further limitations will be placed on residents. The children will have the opportunity to go to the school, which will involve a walk through orchards and gardens, animals and plants, all thriving in a varied and sustainable environment. Work The adults will have satisfying employment options if they want to work within the village structure. A variety of avenues will be available. The adults will further the wider purpose of the community by welcoming the children from the school into their daily work environments. The curriculum will ensure that this is well managed. Commonality of Purpose In the Village the educational provision will give commonality of purpose to three central aspects of human activity, Commercial, Cultural, and Residential. The Educational Provision: An Early Childhood Centre and Primary School, Years 1 to 7, and secondary school, years 8 to 12 will be the heart of the Village. The purpose, curriculum, architecture and landscape are founded on holistic educational insights that recognise and reflect the unique culture that is childhood. When this culture is respected, children are affirmed. How? Simple observation can identify three major stages within this culture of childhood. The path from birth to adulthood begins with the development of physical competency. This is followed by a period of subjective and enthusiastic interest. Finally, during adolescence a stage of critical, independent thought emerges. Although we understand that these developmental stages are not mutually exclusive, we nevertheless operate three styles in order to support and respect the prevalent trend of development. 3
4 Our entire curriculum is designed to reflect and strengthen the phases implicit within this broad framework. The subject matter and teaching methods are shaped by the observable physical and psychological needs of the students and not by outer dictates - for example economics, or mere linear logic. By building around this foundation, we fulfil the basic purpose of this education - that of producing well-rounded personalities, assured of their self worth, who are eager to learn and take their part in society. We already have a fully developed, comprehensive, detailed curriculum, derived from this picture of child development, which fulfils all the requirements of the national standards of New Zealand and Australia and has received approval from the Educational Review Office and curriculum advisory services in Canberra and New South Wales. Three Styles The three major phases of childhood influence the teaching strategies as follows: Firstly, in the time which is essentially bodily activity, where the infant develops physical dexterity (approximately birth to six years), a major portion of the learning takes place by: copying the activities of adults, engaging in the movement games of early childhood, responding to a rich warm environment, and by playing. Next, in the period of subjective and imaginative interaction, where the child develops emotional diversity (approximately six to thirteen), a major portion of the learning takes place by: developing artistic talents, (especially music, drama, painting, and drawing) working with traditional stories, and by the example of committed, vocationally minded teachers. Thirdly, in the stage of critical thinking, where the young person develops conceptual agility (approximately fourteen to eighteen),a major portion of the learning takes place by: debating the merits of arguments, opposing some defined positions, and by clarifying personal beliefs and opinions. STUDENTS EDUCATED IN THIS WAY ARE LIKE SWIMMERS ENTERING WATER AT THEIR OWN BODY TEMPERATURE. 4
5 Architectural and Environmental Consequences My question is: what does it really take to build up a world in which our houses sustain and enlarge childish, innocent life in us? Christopher Alexander 1994 The design of the entire school environment is guided by the following brief: Three Springs Early Childhood, Primary, and Secondary School sections will provide environments that: A) Nourish the imagination of the child. B) Are secure and child-centred. C) Are healthy and ecologically sustainable. D) Contain technologies that may be understood and used by everyone. This brief will have a number of consequences: The School will be a village in itself, with subdivisions arranged as defined hamlets. A gatehouse serving as administration, reception, and exhibition area will be the boundary between the outer social and inner school village. At the heart of the school will be a community hall and common green, linked by natural footpaths to the different hamlets. Organic gardens and fields will surround the hamlets, which will include natural allweather play areas. Scattered through the landscape will be enigmatic monumental works e.g. standing stones and carved tree stumps. Defined by boundaries and various features, the children will pass from the common areas of the school through a significant gate into the security of their own hamlet. 5
6 The defined hamlets will be: Hamlet One Early Childhood. Hamlet Two Years 1, 2, and 3. Hamlet Three Years 4 and 5. Hamlet Four Years 6 and 7 Hamlet Five Years 8 and 9 Hamlet Six Years 10, 11, and 12 The hamlet gardens will contain planting and wildlife to encourage student involvement. Animal habitats will abound, such as rabbit warrens, dovecotes, and duck shelters. Laced throughout the area will be nooks and crannies, quiet spaces and features for the eye, ear, and heart to play with. There will be a school cottage for each class within the particular hamlets. Students will pass through a small gate to enter the security of their own garden. Each cottage will contain a kitchen, bathroom, two quiet rooms and a main learning area. The cottages, inside and out, will have soft contours, large and small windows, and features for encouraging sunny areas and the play of dappled light. Each school home will blend and move into its garden with gentle building edges, bay windows, built in seats, and varying levels of indoor and outdoor space. Crafted but not over finished features will abound; suitable for a philosophy which values emotional intelligence. All services within the buildings will be sustainable and sensitive to the wider environment. Hot water will be made through solar power and wood burning stoves. Water will be pumped by water rams and windmills to tanks for gravity feeding. Power will be generated by water turbine and photovoltaic cells, and stored in transportable batteries. Food waste and effluent will be composted through a dry toilet system such as a Clivus. Animal waste will be used for methane production. All of these fundamental utilities will be maintained and operated by the older students. 6
7 The Commercial Purpose Three Springs will provide for lease a number of premises, built to accommodate a variety of small businesses and crafts. These will be designed as small village work areas, with a winding road, footpaths, lunch areas and a common green, all placed within the current boundary though separate from the school. A long term plan is to include vacant buildings in the locality, which may act as retail shops and foster links between village and town, and provide the children with the opportunity to spread out into the wider world. The workshops will be open-fronted to encourage open dialogue and activity between the shop and students or visitors. (A successful precedent is the Hoglund Glassblowing Studio in Nelson. Workshop, gallery and café are set in a park like environment that offers visitors a stimulating and complete experience. The buildings will contain sustainable utilities, and the design will flow and change throughout with alcoves, balconies, windows and stairs to different levels. Noise and other polluting factors will be carefully considered. Business or crafts people will receive: A flow of customers and visitors. Cross fertilisation from other workshops. Beautiful, aesthetically pleasing surroundings. A clean, healthy, sustainable environment. A further purpose educating the young. Business or crafts people will provide: Crafted items for the learning environment. Quality and ambience to the larger village. Lease monies to the school body. Learning opportunities for the students. 7
8 Possible ventures might include: Farm Livestock of all types Horticulture and Agriculture (C.S.A.) Small Business or Crafts Bakery Cheese, Butter and Ice Cream Electrical Foundry and Blacksmith Furniture Glass Blowing Jewellery Leather Mechanic Sustainable Power and Eco Equipment Textiles Hospitality Café Accommodation Shopping Health Medical centre Elderly Care Veterinary Advisory Eco Building Eco Power and Systems Education 8
9 The Cultural Purpose Three Springs will provide premises that will be made available to local musicians, artists, movement and drama specialists. The community hall and other areas will be possible venues for performance, exhibitions and adult education. A covenant will unite the use of the facilities with the ethos of the village. In this way Three Springs will ensure the Arts are an integral part of life, and not separate from the daily activities of work and learning. Colour, warmth, and feeling will be added and bring to the whole village a satisfying way of seeing the world. This cultural component is seen as vital for a successful, healthy community, and will lift the tone of the whole venture. Artists, musicians and performers will receive: A creative environment. Customers/audiences. Crafted aesthetic surroundings. Cross fertilisation from other artists. Joining with the further purpose of education Artists, musicians and performers will provide: A rich learning opportunity for students through performance and teaching. Cultural quality and beauty. Possible rental money for facilities. God respects me when I work But He loves me when I sing. Tagore 9
10 The Residential Purpose Three Springs will provide a small number of residential allotments for purchase within the boundaries, and plans to obtain further residential blocks and/or properties in the neighbourhood that may also be sold to families who are attracted to the area. A covenant will unite these residential properties with the ethos of the school. In this way Three Springs will ensure a consistent approach to the close environment, and encouragement towards a larger village style of settlement. In brief, the covenant will ensure that: Appropriate technology is used throughout the homes and buildings: solar heating for water and home comfort, alternative power generation, and ecologically sound effluent disposal. Designs will make use of environmentally friendly materials, local and recycled products, earth or straw based walls, to create healthy, safe, energy efficient homes. Home and garden design is of the sort that encourages imagination and beauty, and a sense of the social working of form and structure within a village setting. (See appendices Christopher Alexander) The structures are supportive of the school village and wider environs. 10
11 Residents of the wider village will receive: Community life. A beautiful environment. Healthy sustainable surroundings. Opportunities to join local work places. A sense of purpose and meaning. Residents of the wider village will provide: Aesthetic ambience through building and landscape. Capital return from properties for the school. Intention. Response ability. Social framework. Legal Structure It is intended to form an Incorporated Society of at least twelve persons, drawn from those who are most interested in the commencement of an alternative independent school. Competent people, who are willing to serve, will be found with wide and varied expertise in management, trusteeship, education, accountancy and legal areas. A management board will be appointed, directly responsible to the Society for the administration of Three Springs, and the conduct of the School in accordance with the relevant Education Acts. The management board will consist of three main facilitators, for the areas of education, business, and environment. Funding Endowments will enable Three Springs to have a healthy, sustainable life for the school, and will allow independent operation from the State. If the school can establish itself in this way, the plan has income generating components that will ensure a sustainable future. It will mean that all school buildings and facilities can be put in place, surrounding land may be protected and held for future use, and the seed for village areas - both commercial and residential - can be initiated. We want to build a community around the school that will support the most fundamental principles of education, and show that a school can be a fulfilling, self regulating body without State intervention; a village of rural renewal that will inherently have meaning and purpose, and provide children with a safe, stimulating, beautiful world. 11

13 Appendix A Christopher Alexander We imagine a world in which each part is nurtured, cared for, and integrated harmoniously into nature, and into the threads of human existence. We seek a process which is capable of returning the world to a state, in which people are themselves, can discover themselves, and are truly free in a psychological and emotional sense We need to develop a conception of the world as nature, but yet as a creation of ours an approach where the artifacts of the modern world, roads, bridges, (homes, schools) etc. are united with nature in a new form of humanmade construction where we are once again consciously creating nature. Alexander A New Vision of the World, Christopher Christopher Alexander with colleagues from the Centre for Environmental Structure published three books in 1977 that lay a basis for the rebuilding of our entire human environment: A Pattern Language, The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment. They are a new approach to what until now has been unspoken in the world of architecture, building, planning, environmental design and appreciation. The books speak of a language of patterns that have been taken for granted and largely forgotten in our modern world. Patterns that give human beings a sense of who they are, within the spaces that they live. The books are a practical commentary on making large and small environments, from cities to cupboards, that can encourage healthy social living. They give a fundamental picture of where we have come to as human beings, and where we must go in order to continue through the new millenium in conscious appreciation of our surroundings. The books, and further works by Christopher Alexander, will be a great aid in establishing many of the aspects of the village environments educational, commercial, and residential - that Three Springs wishes to initiate. Encompassing social spaces that offer warmth, grace, and beauty. Places that our selves will naturally reflect when given time and gentle nurture. An archetypal core of all possible languages, which can make people feel alive and human. C.A. 13
14 Appendix B Our Part in the Global Village The concepts within Three Springs School allow us to see how a child may be held within many layers of their world. This is of great pedagogical significance, for the further a child enters into the microcosm, the deeper their reverence will become. From that quiet space, aided by the vision of a teacher and a holistic curriculum, they may in turn gaze back into their world. Through successive layers of the years, and in growing complexity and knowledge, they will return in a conscious manner, to become part of the Global Village. CHILD COTTAGE HAMLET SCHOOL VILLAGE COMMUNITY REGIONAL NATIONAL GLOBAL The creation of true community is the first step to world peace. M. Scott Peck 14

On the map in George Michael's dorm, there are three pins in it. 2 in California and 1 in Portugal. A reference to how no one in the family (apart from George Michael) seems to know that Portugal is in Europe and not South America.
British news reporters microphone reads "WEE O.C."
As Michael and George Michael come up the stairs, there is a sign on the notice board that says "Korean Club." Also, as they walk along the corridor, there is a sign on a door that says "Hello" -- a possible reference to Annyong.
On the wall outside the shop that GOB buys, his Roofie's is a sign that reads:
Are you in a Roofie Circle
How to tell:
The shame feels like it won't go away.
People are surprised when you're surprised to see them.
Loss of month.
Weight Gain.
Michael: No one likes to share their identity.
A nod to Jason Bateman's 2013 film The Identity Thief, where his identity is stolen.
The opening scene is a parody of "The Grinch," a Dr Seuss book. The story is about a cold and heartless green recluse, who scorns the holiday season. He lives on a cliff overlooking Whoville, a cheery and joyful town.
The film was directed by Ron Howard and Jeffrey Tambor (George Sr) plays the Mayor.

|Reviews for The Princess and The Duke
| Y2Jen chapter 8 . 1/16/2006
hmm, I wonder now... Steph and Chris are going to give it another go, but, will it work? I mean, I'm kinda thinking here, Rich and Steph did it too right? What if it works, but the baby isn't actually Chris's?
| ChrisBenoitRules chapter 8 . 1/15/2006
i absolutely LOVE this story!
please update soon
| katierobin23 chapter 8 . 1/15/2006
Thats really cute that Chris and Steph are gonna have a baby!
good chapter
| DCFanatic4life chapter 8 . 1/15/2006
I'll try not to leave you a long review again lol. So...I guess it's official, Chris has gone absolutely crazy. Will the next chapter be him being admitted into a sanitarium. I love that he wants to help Stephanie, but Chris has some really misguided ideas. Does he even hear what he's saying anymore? He's a nutcase. Helping Stephanie is a really noble idea, and it's sweet that he wants to give her a baby, but does he realize the repercussions as to what he wants to do? I hardly think so. I'm starting to think he DOES have feelings for Stephanie, maybe even love her to some extent, judging by some of the reactions he has to her. Maybe her sleeping with Rich awakened a sleeping giant so to speak. Once Chris realized he could lose Stephanie he realized how he felt about her, and maybe that's what is making him so desperate to be with her, because he DOES love her and simply can't stand to be without her. I have a strange feeling I know what's going to happen, I'll have to wait and see, but I honestly did not see Chris offering to give her a baby, that one just about knocked me out of the park. Can't wait for more. :)
| ChrisBenoitRules chapter 7 . 1/13/2006
i LOVE this story. . . great chapter and please update soon!
| Y2Jen chapter 7 . 1/13/2006
hey, ther is NOTHING wrong with fantasies! especially when they're about a guy like Chris.
| DCFanatic4life chapter 7 . 1/13/2006
Wow, the closet scene was totally hot, those two are crazy. The one thing that concerns me (not about your writing, but about the characters themselves in context of the story) is the cavalier attitude by Chris and Stephanie, and to a degree Rich, but especially Chris. He seriously doesn't seem to care he's going to cheat on his wife, and then he's throwing Stephanie up against the walls and grinding himself into her while his son is literally in the other room, sleeping. I'm thinking perhaps this is onset by Rich sleeping with Stephanie and suddenly Chris is totally jealous and he's being blinded by the jealousy. I could be totally wrong, but that's what I feel. Just how he talks about having to have sex with Stephanie, it's almost like he has something to prove to himself about it, what, I don't know.
It almost makes me feel bad for Stephanie, because I think she does have real feelings for Chris, and she does truly want him, but his feelings might not be as genuine as he thinks they are. She seemingly has a conscience, recognizing the fact that Jessica will be coming out, and other stuff. Of course, she seems privy to sleeping together as well. I think what I see going on is the two friends who have this incredible sexual tension going on and they need to get it out of their system just to make sure that there aren't any romantic feelings for them, but this is Jericho and Stephanie we're talking about, once they sleep together, I see all sorts of strings getting attached.
I haven't reviewed the past chapters, but I had to mention one thing about them. The pregnancy by Stephanie that she lost; I think that's going to play an important part in whatever unfolds. In a previous conversation with Rich, Chris mentioned how devastated THEY were, but then corrected himself. Could it be he wanted a child with Stephanie, no matter how they came about having the baby? I'm getting that sense, and I hope that plays a role in future chapters as I'm anxious to hear what happened there and what's going to be brought about by it. I have the feeling that Chris was a little more than biologically involved in that one, and perhaps it all plays into whatever feelings he has for Stephanie, these weird feelings that cause him to forget that he's married with a son. ;)
Wow, sorry for rambling on so much, suffice to say I'm anticipating what's in store for Jericho and Stephanie. :)
| Y2Jen chapter 6 . 1/10/2006
I wonder if Jess suspects anything... hell, it's VERY had to write a fic with Steph and Chris in it and not have them fall for each other... in the one I'm writing, Steph and Chris are broken up after an incident, but they still love and yearn for each other and get back together... so I know it's hard to keep them separate when opposites attract, lol. can't wait to read more.
| DCFanatic4life chapter 6 . 1/10/2006
You gave in to the power of Jericho/Stephanie, happens to the best of us. Sometimes you just can't escape those two. They're, simply put, great together. Now, onto this chapter. Wow, Chris sure is a naughty boy. Not only was he going to have sex with Stephanie while his wife was in the house, he was going to do it in the room next to his son's. And if they do have sex later, then it'll be even naughtier. Man, Chris at least have a little discretion, your wife is in the house.
There's going to be a lot of messed up shit coming up, I can tell, you're setting up a rather precarious love triangle here with Rich and Chris. I know who I want her with. ;) I'm going to review the rest of the chapters later, but I wanted to just give you this one now and say that I'll probably read more of this as it's getting very interesting. :)
| ChrisBenoitRules chapter 6 . 1/9/2006
YAY! Chris and Stephanie are together! LOL
please update soon!
| Y2Jen chapter 5 . 1/9/2006
Ash is so smart, yay so glad to read another chap.
| ChrisBenoitRules chapter 5 . 1/8/2006
great chapter! i sorta want stephanie and chris to get together, even though he is married. . .
please update soon!
| StephanieIrvine chapter 5 . 1/8/2006
You so hafta make this a Stephanie/Chris fic...I was so going for a Stephanie and Rich pairing...but my love for Smoochy over took me, so please make it a Stephanie/Chris fic! Please! *begs*
| Shana chapter 4 . 1/5/2006
The Princess & the Duke is a good story! Please update soon!
| Y2Jen chapter 4 . 12/20/2005
Steph has a way with hot married guys doesn't she? man she went from nearly kissing Chris to laying it on with Rich. w00t!

Parents camp out to nab preschool places
Dozens of people have camped out at preschool in Sydney's inner-west in a bid to get a spot for their children next year.
Parents outside Birchgrove Preschool say there are 40 positions there for 2009 and 25 of them are available for families who live in the local area.
The pre-school is attached to a state primary school and only costs $85 a week.
One of the parents in the queue, Tom Stock, says it is important for his daughter to go there.
"Everyone is trying to give their children the best advantages that they possibly can get and this is held in fairly high regard within the community," he said.
"It's really only one of the few preschool offerings within the area."
Roberta Chahoud has triplets and says it was necessary to line up to get a place for them.
"Just progressively over the past two years, it's got really bad," she said.
"There are so many more people in this area that have young children and unfortunately, there are not enough spots available, so there's a big shortage."
The State Opposition wants action taken to ensure there are more preschool places available and cheaper fees across NSW.
The Opposition's community services spokeswoman, Katrina Hodgkinson, says NSW has the lowest participation rates and the highest preschool fees of all the states in Australia.
"If pre-schools were more affordable in NSW then people wouldn't be forced to camp out overnight to secure a place at one of the less expensive preschools," she said.
Ms Hodgkinson has called on the Premier to address the issue.
"Morris Iemma should be looking at this. It's right under his nose," she said.
"Parents in NSW, parents in Sydney, the greater metropolitan area and right across NSW simply cannot afford to send their children to preschool and that's criminal."

There are many reasons to meditate, some more profound than others. Whether it be to lower your blood pressure or reduce your stress and anxiety, it's safe to say that meditation works by shifting your focus from the external to the internal. Put another way, meditation gives you the precious opportunity to cultivate that ever important relationship with self.
Susan Scott Morales, in this recent Ann Arbor post, reminds us that meditation can be practiced anywhere and at anytime. According to Morales, becoming mindful of your internal experience as you go about your daily activities creates a sense of objectivity that can lead to a non-judgemental stance toward yourself and others.
So, try this. Anytime you happen to remember this concept, ask yourself, "What am I thinking about?" or "How is my body feeling today?" or "What's my emotional state?"
By doing this, you're exercising a very important part of your brain that allows you to see yourself objectively. In my teaching and writing, I've often advised against switching into judgmental mode. I can't stress this enough.
If you find yourself being judgmental, coax your focus back to witnessing yourself as if in a movie. It helps if you concentrate on the feelings in your body.
Read more from Morales on using meditation to create objectivity here.

How He Wiped Out $70K In Debt In 90 days
I want to let you in on a little secret…
One of my biggest fears is being remembered as one of those 'going to' people. You know the people that say they are 'going to do this' and 'going to do that' but never actually do anything.
Now although I do try and follow my passions, there have been times where I just don't know the answer.
And I'm not the only one.
Time and time again I hear from good people who are fed up, frustrated, and just plain discouraged about their ability to reliably manifest what they want in life.
Do you ever feel like that?
If so, you're not alone. And even if you've gotten your brain wrapped around the concept of the Law of Attraction and are whole-hearted in your manifesting efforts–you still may have the nagging feeling you're not quite hitting with all cylinders.
That's why I'd suggest you take a few minutes to watch this…
For one thing, you'll hear from Bob Doyle from 'The Secret' as he The Law of Attraction "101"…and how to use it in your life NOW to manifest whatever it is you most desire. This energizing chat simplifies visualization in a way I've never seen before!
Then, you'll hear from none other than Bob Proctor (another key speaker from The Secret.)
Bob has been at this a long time–decades in fact–and he's pretty much got the whole visualization thing dialed in.
One of the things Bob talks about are some of the most common misconceptions about visualization, and boy can I relate. I remember when I first began exploring the Law of Attraction. I pretty much made ALL of these mistakes!
For example…
1.You make some effort to practice visualizations for a few days–but nothing happens. So you decide it's a waste of time and stop. And guess what? Nothing happens. Duh.
2. You think you have to spend hours every day intensely focused on the things you want most. You settle down in the Lazy Boy and have at it–and you either fall asleep, get a pounding headache, or start thinking about a problem you're having at work. What a hassle–no wonder you've given up!
3. You've painstakingly glued a vision board together and you stare at it every day. You don't want anyone to know this, but you're bored. This whole activity is dull as dust and you don't feel much of anything except distracted.
4. You're not completely sure visualization will work–so you figure it's not worth trying unless you are 100% certain something wonderful will happen.
In fact, you've perfected "why bother" into an art form. Any of these things sound familiar? Well here's the good news…
Here's one of my favorite quotes from this video…
"Even if you don't believe in it–do it anyway. My attitude is: if your way isn't working, try mine. I'm doing alright.I'm healthy, happy, and I'm wealthy. I earn more money in one hour than I used to in twenty years. So I must know something. And I know that this works."
~Bob Proctor
I sincerely hope you find this as encouraging as I do–because the thing is, even if you're not sure visualization will work for you and result in successful manifesting–just do it! Give it a try and see what happens.
But not for just a day or two–or even a week or two.
What you've got to do is make the commitment to spend a few minutes on this every single day–and I do mean EVERY DAY!
Maybe even morning and night–but consistently make the effort. Because according to Bob Proctor (and he should know!) it's the REPETITION of your visualizations that add up to a grand slam eventually.
He explains it all so clearly and much better than I ever could.
But it has to do with the repetition creating a new frequency–a new vibration that then changes your actions–and then opens the door to what you want being attracted into your life.
Make sense? You bet it does! And no worries about how to wedge it into your schedule, because you don't have to spend a lot of time on it either. Just a few minutes a day will do it IF you do it the right way.
All you have to do is follow the simple strategies Bob Proctor and Bob Doyle explain in this video. It's easy. And when you do, here's what happens…
It's exciting and it's totally achievable with a very simple shift in your thinking and actions–believe me, I've personally experienced how powerful this is and it is truly the key to creating your most perfect destiny.
I don't want to give away all the goods here–so just take a minute and watch the video OK? In the next ten minutes you could literally have the keys to the kingdom.
P.S. Have you ever gotten so excited about something you had a kind of tingle at the core of your being? Or you just felt like every nerve ending was on high alert?
That's what happens when you experience strong emotions.
And here's a hint–those emotions have EVERYTHING to do with creating successful visualizations. And now the two Bob's are going to explain exactly how you can access that fantastic energy to supercharge your visualizations.
