Kazakhmys announces 40% increase in power capacity at Ekibastuz by 2014 and acceleration of investment programme
Kazakhmys PLC ("Kazakhmys") announces the approval of a further $400 million of capital expenditure at the Ekibastuz GRES-1 power station. This significant expenditure accelerates the investment programme by 12 months from the schedule planned in May 2008, when the business was acquired.
Ekibastuz GRES-1 currently has 5 active turbines with a capacity of 2,500 MW, from an original nameplate capacity of 8 turbines and 4,000 MW. Rehabilitation work began on one of the three non-operational turbines at the end of 2009. This additional capital expenditure will allow the rehabilitation of a second turbine, taking capacity to 3,500 MW by the end of 2014.
Funding for the increase in capacity will be supported entirely from the internally generated cashflows of Ekibastuz GRES-1
Oleg Novachuk, Chief Executive of Kazakhmys PLC, stated: "Demand for power in Kazakhstan has been strong over the past 12 months, creating good cashflows within Ekibastuz GRES-1 and enabling the capital expenditure programme to be significantly accelerated ahead of the original schedule. This is positive for Kazakhmys and, as Ekibastuz GRES-1 is the largest power station in Kazakhstan, for the continued development of the national economy."

Ekibastuz GRES-1, is located in northeastern Kazakhstan's Pavlodar region. It is the largest power plant in Kazakhstan and was commissioned in the 1980's with a nameplate capacity of 4,000 MW, operating from 8 turbines. Capacity declined at the plant following the break up of the Soviet Union. The plant has been undergoing an extensive investment programme, since its purchase by Kazakhmys in May 2008. In 2009, the power plant produced 9,737 GWh of electricity, from net dependable capacity of 2,012 MW. The investment programme is self funded from the cashflows generated within the business and will return the plant to its nameplate capacity over the next five years. Ekibastuz GRES-1 is jointly owned by Kazakhmys and National Welfare Fund Samruk-Kazyna JSC.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2014 (1098 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Annie Kay was 87 years old when she lost her common-law spouse.
She had no family to speak of, just a cousin. She did have a caregiver who helped her with her day-to-day needs and made it possible for her to remain in her house. She also had assets worth roughly $3.2 million. This tale played out in England but could just have easily occurred in Canada. Greed knows no nationality.
The caregiver, a woman named Mrs. Spillman, mentioned the old woman's situation to her husband, Mr. Spillman. He masterminded a scheme and sprung it into action.
They waited for the woman to leave town for three days, and then brought a different old woman into the house. They trained her to replicate the absent and wealthy Kay's signature. They doctored her appearance so she looked as much as possible like the absent and wealthy Kay. They hid any photographs of the real Kay that were on the walls or tables. They coached the imposter on the right answers to give to questions such as "Who is in your family?"
Most importantly, they coached her on the answer they wanted the imposter to give to the question, "Who should inherit your estate?" The answer: "My faithful caregiver, Mrs. Spillman, and her husband, too."
After everything was perfect, they called in a lawyer. The lawyer met with the imposter in Kay's house and took instructions for a new will for Kay from the imposter. The will left the whole of Kay's fortune to the caregiver and her husband. The lawyer met with the imposter again, and the imposter signed the will.
The fraudulent Mr. and Mrs. Spillman hustled around Kay's house and removed any trace the imposter had been there. They put all the photographs back. Everything was back to normal when the real Kay came back home from her brief trip.
Kay passed away within a year. Mr. and Mrs. Spillman produced the fake will and attempted to claim their prize. What could go wrong? The lawyer would testify he had met "Annie," taken her instructions and signed the will. It was a house call. The woman he met gave all of the right answers to the questions he posed.
The fraudsters got caught. The will was rejected. Mrs. Spillman was sentenced to five years, three months behind bars. Mr. Spillman was sentenced to seven years. His sentence was longer because he masterminded the scheme. He tried to blame it all on his wife. She blamed it all on him.
How were they caught? Someone got nosey. Kay had a will done by a different lawyer. He would have been her executor under the earlier will. The whole thing struck him as fishy. He obtained a copy of the new will from the courthouse. The signature looked wrong. More questions were asked. A photo of the real Kay was shown to the lawyer who met with the imposter. It looked wrong.
Ultimately, the smoking gun was Kay's calendar. It showed she was out of town on the day she allegedly signed the will.
The case caused a stir in the legal profession. Some lawyers are starting to ask for a passport or driver's licence so they can compare the photo with the person making the will. If the lawyer asks all of the detailed questions he or she is supposed to, the person across the desk will generally draw a blank about something they should rightly know. A lawyer doing a good job is a protection against all of this.
This story is a true one. No details have been changed.
What happened to the imposter? Mrs. Spillman had actually convinced her own mother to impersonate Kay. Her mother pleaded guilty. She then testified against her daughter and son-in-law to mitigate her sentence.

Rome (Nov. 15)
About 200 Jewish refugees continue to enter Italy daily seeking passage to Palestine. They are being placed in UNRRA camps in northern Italy.
A committee of the Central Committee of Displaced Persons, representing about 25,000 Jewish DP's in Italy, has submitted a memorandum to the Italian Ministry of the Interior protesting against the "libelous campaign" launched by a section of the Italian press against the DP's, charging that they are "terrorists" and responsible for the recent bombing of the British embassy in Rome.

Given the popularity of the containers, further investment in the telco/cable industry is needed to transition existing VM-based solutions to containerized cloud native deployments. The networking architecture of the solution isolates the network traffic into different network planes (e.g., management, control, and media). This naturally makes support for multiple interfaces in container orchestration engines an indispensable requirement.

Similarly, any data science project has to have a go to production strategy from its first days, so it could go beyond proof-of-concept.

THE FRIDAY SIX: Q&As with Your Favorite Broadway Stars- FIRST DATE's Sara Chase!
Welcome to THE FRIDAY SIX: Q&As With Your Favorite Broadway Stars. Want to know what hooked them to a career in the theater? Their dream roles? Their Broadway crushes? Read on!
In this week's edition, we caught up with Sara Chase, who is starring as 'Grandma Ida/ Lauren/Aaron's Mother' in First Date- currently in previews at the Longacre Theatre; opening August 8.
What is the first Broadway show you ever saw?
I saw MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS when I was 7. They had a real ice skating rink on stage. What?!
What is your most unique pre-show ritual?
I am trying really hard to make my dressing room the cool hangout area at FIRST DATE, so Chatty McGee here is usually trying to finish getting ready after they've already called "places."
What is your most memorable "the show must go on" moment?
In THE TOXIC AVENGER, my character unrolls a carpet for Toxie to sit on while barefoot and only wearing a thin nightgown. One night, I unrolled the carpet and a live mouse jumps out and scurries across my bare foot and onto the set. My character is also supposed to be blind so I "couldn't" see it and I couldn't run off the stage screaming like a little girl either.
What is the one role you want to play before you die?
Anna Leonowens in THE KING AND I. Those songs! Those costumes! Oh my.
Who is your Broadway crush?
Harry Connick Jr. please.
Where can people stalk you online?

I thought I must have heard him wrong, because all the business units did agile and, from what I understood, had been for quite some time. It seemed a strange and uninformed question. It did not bode well for the project.
Was it worth the wait?
They finally came back with their new system for us to try out, and I looked into it. I wanted to find the methods for login as well as the process we could use to check our customer's balance. The login was there, along with a couple more parameters than I would have liked. I was told we weren't the only one using this, so I accepted that someone else must need them.
But I couldn't find anything to tell us the available balance. I emailed back and forth with the back-office team asking if all our methods were implemented or if this was just a first draft. I was told that everything we requested was there, so I inquired, "How do I see a user's balance?" The answer was as follows:
- Call the order method, passing in our customer's ID
- Iterate over that list and collect all of the order line-item IDs
- Pass the order line-item IDs to a separate method and get a list of all order line items
- Look through the list of order line items for our product code and sum all credits
- Call the transactions method, passing in our customer's ID
- Iterate over all the transactions for our product code and sum the debits
- Take the difference between the debits and credits -- that was the balance for the customer
They had taken a single query against a SQL Server and turned it into multiple Web requests that returned much more data than was needed.
As we fought this design, we repeatedly came up against a canned refrain: "This is a top priority for the company executives. We have a hard date this fall that we have to make. If we make your change, we won't be able to hit that. You'll just have to write the code this way." It seemed no matter who we appealed to, all we heard was no.
When the hard date came, 20 to 30 people in the office were needed to roll out the system. After about 10 hours, we'd cut over about 10 percent of our unit to the new system. Not only was the new system quite complicated, but some of the upper managers didn't trust it and refused to switch over.
It took another two years before even 50 percent of our unit was on the new system, and results were similar with other business units throughout the company. In that time, the team working on the back-end product dwindled in number from about 15 people to 3. Some moved on to different jobs in the company, but most left the company entirely.
And the system? Well, more than 20 upgrades were rolled out in those two years. Last I heard, they were thinking about rewriting the entire project from scratch because it's grown too messy. Go figure.

Articles tagged with: touch screen
We covered a multimedia table from Pioneer just a week ago, and it looks like Microsoft and Samsung were working on a multimedia table of their own.
Microsoft has just shipped a test version of Windows 8 to PC makers, so based on the timeframe of past releases it should be available to users in late 2012. This version is reportedly being offered through Microsoft Connect, a program for extra-special beta testers. Windows 8 is important for Microsoft because it will be the first version of Windows with special features for tablets, such as compatibility with ARM processors, and a design with touch screens in mind.
Distressing to Microsoft–and fueling its tablet affinity–is the fact that Apple's iPad is overtaking sales of consumer notebooks running Windows. However, Microsoft seems in no huge hurry to break out any tablets, despite the increasingly crowded market.
Sources say Microsoft is expected to show the first beta of the OS at its Professional Developers' Conference, set to take place later this year. Similar test versions in the past have had security measures to prevent leaks, such as a one-time use password. However, we should never underestimate the ingenuity of nosy geeks, so I'll be holding out for some leaks.

4.0 stars 26 totalReview Gary Williams
Posted by Theresa
Mr. Williams is a wonderful lawyer. He listens and really makes you feel like you have someone that is one your side looking out for your best interests. I went through a very nasty divorce with a crazy ex that made all sorts of outrageous claims and did his best to make my life a living hell. Mr. Williams and his staff did a wonderful job easing me through this very painful, horrible event in my life. He and his staff always made sure I understood what my rights were and what I was entitled to, which went a long way in allaying concerns that would arise from the ridiculous threats my ex and his lawyer would make intended to get me to settle early and for much less than I was entitled. Mr. Williams also has a large, professional, and knowledgeable staff. By delegating work to other members of his staff, rather than having to do all the work himself, Mr. Williams was able to save me quite a bit of money on legal fees. My ex paid his lawyer twice what I paid mine, because his lawyer had no staff. If you are going through a difficult divorce with a bully that is trying to convince you to take less than you are entitled to, I highly recommend Mr. Williams. He is a great guy to have on your side.
Posted by Kathy
I highly recommend Gary Williams and his staff. Gary takes a very strategic approach to divorce and carefully explains the realities of your case rather than what you want to hear. Gary and his staff truly care about you as a person and your family and not just the case. He achieved an outcome for me that was better and smoother than I anticipated and was worth every penny of his fee.

Mr. Williams and his staff could not be better. They do what they say. They are always available and extremely professional. They communicate over phone and email. I originally selected another attorney and spent thousands without getting any results or movement. This firm develops a plan, and does it. I am very grateful for their represnation. In my opinion, they are the best family law practice in the Tampa Bay area.

A year ago, my ex-wife filed suit in another state, that did not have jurisdiction, trying to terminate my parental rights for my son. I hired this attorney to represent me. The first thing that he did was to file suit in the proper state and county and then he won the hearing on jurisdiction and kept the case here in Florida.
He then negotiated a solution to the law suit that maintained my parental rights and got me back the visitation that my ex-wife had been denying to me for years. My son and I had a great summer this year, visiting Disney, Adventure Island and the beaches, because this lawyer did a great job for me. Thank you.

Gary Williams is an amazing attorney! I went through a horrible and extremely complicated child custody/ dependency case and had another attorney before him that just made it worse. It never should have went the way it did in the first place and it went on for over a year and a half. Gary came in in the most complicated part if the case. I didn't understand any of it and he explained everything to me and told me to trust him. Trusting any attorney was difficult for me at that point in time, but I did and it was the best decision I've ever made. He was extremely understanding with my situation. Between him and his staff they kept me informed and up to date with the entire case. I would recommend him to anyone and have. He was incredibly informed. I can't Thank Mr. Williams and Chris Smith enough for all their had work and putting my family back together. If it wernt for him I don't know what would have happened. He took my case with a promise and turned it from a disaster to a dream. Thank you so much! If your looking for an attorney he's the best one you'll ever be able to find!

My divorce case was difficult and complicated. It involved complex financial issues, including stock options and pension rights and significant amounts of premarital assets. My case also involved a major custody fight and a high level of conflict between the parents. Gary, his Associate Attorneys and his Paralegals were all outstanding to work with. They understood the issues involved in the financial side of the case and they brought in a Parent Coordinator to assist my wife and I resolve our differences about parenting. Ultimately my case settled and I was very pleased with the overall handling of my case.

I went to Attorney Williams and The Law Firm for Family Law with a complex situation: (1) custody case where I was being denied time with my daughter because I entered a relationship with another woman, whom I later married; (2) the custody case drew out so long and got so ugly that my new wife wanted me to leave - she filed for divorce when I told her I was going to file (we were separated for about 2 yrs at that point); (3) relating to the custody case, the ex-wife opened another case against me for intellectual property theft in order to keep evidence out of the custody case (she never moved forward on it - it was only to keep evidence out of family law court); (4) mounting attorney bills caused me to lose my house to foreclosure; there were two cases filed against me in the foreclosure, one for each mortgage; (5) this eventually led to bankruptcy. When, in a deposition, the ex-wife accused me of child sexual abuse as the reason for preventing me from seeing my daughter, Attorney Williams asked me if this was true. Of course it was not! So he told me I had a case to get full custody since ex-wife never went to the Dept of Children and Families (DCF), i.e. she was negligent. He asked if I wanted to get full custody...well, since the X had by now shown how over-the-top she is I accepted his advice that I could win custody. I felt that if she's going to accuse me of misconduct that I never perpetrated, then the less influence she had over our daughter, the better. A court appointed psychologist found no evidence to support her allegations. Of course, that wasn't free, either. By this time (around 2008), I had married the other woman and we had a daughter, now my 2nd child. A year later (late 2009), still no resolution in the custody case, and I predicted to Gary Williams that my money was running out, might last another year. He kept reassuring me not to worry about the money. A year after that things had deteriorated with my wife to the point I wanted a divorce in order to establish my rights for time sharing with my 2nd daughter. I had discussed this with Williams first, and he agreed to represent me. A mistake I made was in going to my wife and telling her my intent before Williams could file. So she filed the very next day, then did nothing to move the divorce forward. That was late 2010 - today I'm still trying to get divorced from her. In the meantime, I borrowed as much as I could against my house and credit cards until I couldn't keep up with payments any more. I was able to stave off bankruptcy until 2012. All the while, Williams told me not to worry about the money. I kept thinking, 'this has to end soon'. But I went bankrupt first. Lost my house. The intellectual property theft case was thrown out in the bankruptcy, not that it had any merit in the first place. When all my money was gone and I had no choice but to declare bankruptcy, that's when Williams gave me a work-up on how much of a retainer he needed in order to keep going. I could pay it, if I borrowed the max allowable against my 401k. So I started that process. He recused himself before I could get the loan money from the 401k account. I'm glad he did. If I had paid him that money, I'd still have no progress - I'm certain of it. He didn't do anything to move things forward for me. All he did was add to the conflict, and when hearings went poorly for me he had the audacity to tell me it was my fault. If you find yourself in need of a family law attorney, you would do well to steer clear of this man. He has a lot of personal charisma, and he's effective at generating revenue for his office, but he's not going to serve your interests.

My case was mishandlde from the start. Lots of promises that were not even possible were made to get me as a client. Handed me off on an inexperienced lawyer, and mistake after mistake was made. I am with a new lawyer to undo all that was done. It was a disaster with the judge more on my side then Gary. My ex's lawyer had him cowering and doing whatever she wanted. It cost me lots of money just so he wouldn't have to lose in court. He just rolled over and talked me into signing off on so many things. What a disaster.

My case has been a rollercoaster wich lead to an ongoing battel for about 6 years, and still going. I have retained Gary for the last 4 years. He and his staff have gone above and beyond for me and my daughter! My last lawyer did not have the experience or the ability to stand up to a much more experinced lawyer, a liar and a bully. Gary and his team have always made me feel confident in their abilities and helped me stand up for what is rightfully mine. Thank you for standing up to a bully and helping me have a voice that other wise might not have been heard.
My Deepest Thanks to Gary, Joe, Christy, Fay and the entire team.

Having worked extensively with attorneys in my professional life, I was immediately impressed with Mr. Williams' quick grasp of the relevant details of dispute in my divorce case. His advice was aggressively in my interests, yet pragmatic in helping move the case to a quickly negotiated and favorable yet fair resolution. Thank you Gary Williams!

Our organized tours are led by an English speaking expert on Catharism who lives locally, just south of Carcassonne in the heart of Cathar Country. He has written a number of books and is the author of the leading English Language website on the Cathars (www.cathar.info). You will not need to speak any French on our escorted tours.
Our Unique Seling point is that our tours cover historical information in much greater breadth and depth than any other source, and are founded on primary sources. Tours include guided visits to "Cathar Castles" and other Cathar related sites, informal illustrated lectures and talks on Catharism, Cathar beliefs and practices, the concept of heresy, Medieval warfare and the Albigensian Crusade, along with the history of the "Pays Cathare" - Cathar Country. Talks also cover the ancient culture of the area including the role of the medieval Counts of Toulouse and the medieval Inquisition. You can also learn about the local language, Occitan, the first post-classical literary language of Europe, spoken throughout Occitania. (Occitan was the language of the troubadours and the first language of Richard the Lionheart).
Information provided includes historical and cultural background, illustrations, maps and timelines - even an introduction to the esoteric world of Gnostic Dualism. You will learn how to spot medieval Cathars and how to besiege a Medieval Castle. Escorted visits include trips to key historic locations such as Carcassonne and Montsegur. While we endeavor to ensure strict historical accuracy of the information provided, we appreciate that this is a vacation in the South of France, rather than a university course. - and no one will mind if you decide to spend some of your holiday sitting in the Languedoc sun and drinking some of the famous Languedoc wines.
We offer a choice of tour.

In an interview on Monday's edition of "Democracy Now" on radical (and taxpayer-supported) Pacifica Radio, host Amy Goodman relayed listener questions to Cindy Sheehan on her self-pitying Withdrawal from Politics tour. We learned again that Sheehan will not run for office: "I have been asked by the Green Party to run for president, but, you know, that's not anything that I want." (Imagine what Hillary Clinton would try to do to a female third-party threat. Eek.)
It was funnier when Goodman passed along a question from left wing "PR Watch" guru John Stauber: "What is your opinion of MoveOn and the role it played in the recent congressional debate over war funding?" Sheehan found it hilarious that the "corporate media" would categorize MoveOn as part of the "antiwar left." So where the devil on the ideological spectrum is it? She said:
"I know John Stauber. He has been struggling against MoveOn. I was really upset with MoveOn, and plus with the corporate media, who were characterizing MoveOn as the antiwar left in America, which was just really, for people who are on the inside know how hilarious that is. So I think that MoveOn has a lot of resources, and they should be trying to represent -- truly represent the opposition to, instead of being, you know, so tied in with the Democratic Party, to really represent the views of the left."

India batting great Sunil Gavaskar will chair the next meeting of the International Cricket Council's cricket committee in May but will then have to explain to his fellow administrators whether he feels he can continue in the role while pursuing a career as a media analyst.
Former India captain Gavaskar, following a series of contentious comments, met with ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed at the global governing body's headquarters in Dubai on Wednesday.
An ICC statement said "Sunil will convey his views to the ICC " having chaired the upcoming meeting of the ICC Cricket Committee on May 5-6.
"The ICC board will then review the issue at its annual conference between June 29-July 4.
In January, Gavaskar criticised match referee Mike Procter for the way in which the former South Africa all-rounder found Harbhajan Singh, the India off-spinner, guilty of racially abusing Australia's Andrew Symonds, a decision overturned on appeal.
"By accepting the word of the Australian players and not the Indian players, the match referee has exposed himself to the charge of taking a decision based not on facts, but on emotion," Gavaskar wrote in the Hindustan Times.
"Millions of Indians want to know if it was a 'white man' taking the 'white man's' word against that of the 'brown man'."
Gavaskar's remarks did little to defuse an already volatile situation and led to questions over whether it was right for someone in his position to make such public comments about a fellow ICC official.
Then, after the ICC's executive board meeting in Dubai last week, Gavaskar turned his attention to the boards of England and Australia, who he said needed to recognise India's increasingly influential role in world cricket.
"Gone are the days when two countries, England and Australia, had the veto power in international cricket, even though the dinosaurs may not open their eyes and see the reality," he wrote.
"The cricketing world has found that India has no longer a diffident voice but a confident one that knows what is good for its cricket, and will strive to get it."

Apple recently released an SMC firmware update for the redesigned Mac Pro that enhances Power Nap fan control and fixes an issue that caused low-speed USB devices to remain undetected on system startup. The Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 2.0 tweaks system control settings to allow certain Power Nap processes to run without spooling up the fans. That being said, the exact Power Nap activities covered in the updated settings werent detailed in the release notes.
For those of you who dont already know, Power Nap is an energy-saving feature that allows Macs to keep up to date even while sleeping. For example, with Power Nap enabled, Mail is able to collect new messages in the background without waking the Mac from sleep.
The recent update also fixes a rare issue in which low-speed USB devices werent being detected at boot.
Apples firmware update comes two months after the company released an EFI update which addressed various bugs in December before the computer shipped out to customers. Recommended for all late-2013 Mac Pro models, the Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 2.0 comes in at 544KB and can be downloaded via Apples Support Downloads webpage or via Software Update.

Simplified KiwiSaver reporting goes online
Craig Foss
21 October, 2013
Simplified KiwiSaver reporting goes online
Commerce Minister Craig Foss has welcomed the publication of the first KiwiSaver disclosure statements under new regulations that require providers to disclose fund information into an easy-to-understand format.
From today, providers are required to present their disclosure statements online in a simplified format which will allow members to check how their funds are performing.
"Making KiwiSaver reporting more accessible is part of the Government's Business Growth Agenda, which includes a comprehensive range of actions to build high-performing capital markets to support business growth," says Mr Foss.
Under the new regulations, providers' reports will include information about fees as a percentage of members' investments in the funds and information about past returns after fees and tax.
Providers will also be required to publish information about the targeted investment mix (broken down by cash, New Zealand or international fixed interest, equities and property) and the investment mix that was actually achieved.
"The new reporting requirements give New Zealanders the information they need to make an informed decisions about their own KiwiSaver fund.
"Standardised reporting will help KiwiSaver members decide whether their fund is best for their individual circumstances at any given time," says Mr Foss.
For further information about the new reporting framework visit www.fma.govt.nz/help-me-invest/kiwisaver/kiwisaver-scheme-reporting/scheme-disclosure-statements/

The Future of Shooters
April 8, 2010 - Like most games conferences, the Triangle Games Conference is a great link between game creators and those who want to become game creators. Though all of the panels and lectures have been interesting, the one that stood out the most to me was The Future of Shooters. Gathering together five of the leading names in the genre, the panel explored the questions of how shooters will evolve in terms of content, character and control over the next five years.

Sitting on the north side of the Auglaize River with roughly 1,850 ft of river bank this farm is a major funnel. Numerous areas for food plots on the southwest portion of the property would make for great hunting with the prevailing west winds in this area. Some standing dead timber has been cleaned up off the property recently which will create more thick bedding in the future. With over 1,000 ft of road frontage off TWP RD 198 and great building sites virtually anywhere near the road you could build and still have a great recreational property to hunt or play on.

Take him out of school or wait and see?(10 Posts)
Thats a good idea about finding something out of school they could go to.She did offer to take them to swimming lessons when there are some available,and there is a football club on a saturday he goes to in the summer at weekends he could go to too,we talked about football after school and he said he didnt like it because he had been at school all day and just wanted to go home,he did like the football he was just tired!
Oh yes I agree ommmward. I suppose it's partly generational? She certainly had no time for me to be unhappy with school. But I don't begrudge her that, her life then was so different to mine now. My mum is lovely and was (is) a brilliantly mum, but I do remember a general feeling as a child that my view was largely unimportant and I didn't have much of a voice. It's hard to explain to her that I don't want to be like her! But I do get why she was how she was, too (single parent v tough but I felt loved, happy - can't present that to her without her hearing criticism which she cannot abide).
Your mum, lady, is not the person having to force/jolly/cajole a weeping child every day of the week. Might be worth reminding her of that.
And find out about the HE socialising in your area. Ours is mostly done via facebook now, and there are organised things going on every day,and also just people saying "I'm going to park X tomorrow, anyone want to join us?" That's a good way of heading your mother off at the pass.
Hi, I don't have any advice as in a similar boat but finding ommmwards posts so helpful so wanted to say thank you.
My son is year 1 too and hating it, every say he cries, doesn't want to go. He had a couple of 'better' days so I thought it was a phase that was passing but this week has got worse each day.
Like you I had always been keen on the ideal of home educating but gave school a try and he loved reception so much I thought that was that.
I only have one younger child at home though, she's just started preschool and loves it.
My son also has a couple of boys he would miss; one I think we would lose touch with but the oh her has just started Beavers with him so might be a more sustainable friendship, is this something your son and his friend might enjoy now/later? My mum thinks HE is an awful idea, she seems to think school is the only way to get social interaction. She would be a challenge.
Waffling now but good luck ringaringarosy
The important thing with your DS's friend's Mum will be to practise talking about your decision not as "we think school is awful and most children hate it" but "Oh, I think school is wonderful and an excellent fit for lots of children, but Jimmy was just hating it, so we've decided to take him out and see how he gets on learning at home for the rest of the year. Would you like a biscuit?"
He said he would miss his friend,that was it really,he wondered off and did me a lovely picture of a dinosaur skeleton!
He only lives 5 minutes walk away so staying in touch would be easy as long as his mum was up for it,i know things can get difficult.Plus he is going to find another best friend at school when my sons not there isnt he?
Ive been talking to my mum about it,she doesnt really see my children much,maybe once or twice a year,she thinks its an awful idea but i knew that from before,she thinks its not normal for kids not to like school and that there must be something wrong with him.....it cant just be me that thinks most kids dnt really like school?all of ds1s friends say they dont like it,the way i see it is that some kids really just arent suited to that system.
And what would he miss from school?
what does he miss from school when he's at home?
You might just have to arrange lots of weekend/holiday playdates with this best friend...
thats great advice thanks,just did the list,he said things he likes are going on the computer and seeing his best friend.he said things he hates are church,prayers,assembly,sitting on the carpet,kieron(big boy who is quite rough with him)football and the fact it takes so long(the school day).
he said if he were t home he would play with his baby brother,go on the computer,read,play in the garden and fix stuff :-)
Think really carefully about what sort of HE you'd do - autonomous/structured/semi-structued. Think carefully about how it would interact with your commitments to the younger children.
Make sure OH is on side.
Then present it to him as an option, with your idea of how it would be. Maybe get him to list all the things he likes about school and all the things he thinks he'd like about not going to school. Things he'd miss out on if he didn't go to school; things he misses out on because he does go to school. Obviously you scribe for him - he doesn't have to write it all down (Sheesh!).
Revisit your idea of how the HE would look based on his ideas of what HE would/should be like.
Then look at it with him and with his father. Listen to him. Make it clear that, if he comes out, then he won't get to chop and change - agree a timescale (like, he could go in again after Christmas if he likes, or go in again next Autumn).
I give your next child down a month, tops, before they ask to come out too
Sorry title is rubbish.
I have 4 kids and another on the way,eldest is 5 and in yr one.
We always planned to HE,but for some reason when ds1 got to that age where he would be starting school i decided to give it a try,i think because i was pg with number 4 and probably a bit tired and wondering how i was going to do it,as soon as dc4 was born i felt so much more normal and kind if wished id just seen it through.
Anyway,ds1 liked reception,it took him a while but i would say by april this year,the last term,he was at the point where he was looking forward to going,before then it was always a bit difficult and i had to coax him to go.Ds2 is now in reception and seems to like it too,
However,ds1 is not impressed with y1 at all,everyone has said its supposed to be a gradual thing changing to ks1 but he has really noticed it and just seems generally unhappy.
There are tears every morning,he seems angry all the time and is being quite rude and aggressive.Other school mums say its his age but i dont think it is.He has a best friend who he adores and i think that is the only thing keeping him going at the moment.
He doesnt seem to enjoy anything,he went to football club and enjoyed it,the last two times hes cried when i got him ans said please dont make me go again i hate it,hes like that about everything at the moment,doesnt seem to enjoy anything.
Im not sure what to do,dh is very pro HE and actually quite anti school so i know what he would say,but i dont want to take him out and regret it,or take him out then have him cry because he misses his friend.Also ds2 seems happy there,im not sure what he would want to do.
I hate the way school dictates our life,when we can and cant go on holiday,what they can and cant eat for lunch,wether they have a late night or not,i miss our old life but im worried i have rose tinted specs on.
Obviously with so many under a certain age its hard to do one on one stuff,and i have to admit to liking the break i get,i get to sleep in the day with the baby!Not sure what to do....
