Best books for toddlers
The best way to make sure you�re keeping up to speed with your little one, and to keep their progress fast and fun, is to supply them with plenty of great books. This collection ranges from classics you might remember yourself from when you were little, to some of the newer offerings on the shelves.
We've included good old fashioned favourites like Winnie The Pooh and Peter Rabbit and some shiny new ones, too. Think Aliens Love Underpants (yes, that really is its title) and the Charlie And Lola stories, which somehow have an inexplicable grip over all small children it seems.
There are options suitable for tiny tots with plenty of pictures to keep them entertained, to stories that will be best for between 3-5 year olds with trickier words and longer sentences to stretch their vocabulary and reading skills. Plus, you�ll be pleased to know, there�s not a Biff and Chip book in sight!
Cuddle up at bedtime and enjoy listening to some of these tales with your little one, although be warned - once they find one they love you might have to listen to the same story every night for the next six weeks solid. Or is that just our lot?
Scroll through using the arrows to discover what it is we love about each of the books and why we think your kids will love them too. Once you�ve found a few favourites you can search for them in your local library, look out for them in expensive charity shops or buy them online.

Discussion in 'Star Trek - The Original & Animated Series' started by Keith1701, May 28, 2013.
The fact that they're still making Bond films today is testament to how huge Bond was then.
T.J. Hooker...oh, the horror.
He did seem to get a bit huskier which I think might have made him look a bit older.
It's funny back when each movie was being released you could hear remarks on how the cast were so obviously aging. Now when you look back they look younger than we remembered, particularly in the first few films.
GR put a blond wig on Majel and slipped her back into the show, but as I understand it the NBC execs noticed her right off. This time around they seem to let it pass possibly because she wasn't a major character anymore.
His marriage was falling apart around that time, so he undoubtedly was under a lot of stress.
funny in that altered pic he looks pretty much like he did in the films / Hooker. Funny what hair style does.
maybe if hed had TOS type hair in the films hed have looked alot more like he did back in the 60s in the films (esp the first couple of films)
His nose changed quite a bit over the years, too.
Anyway, I hope I'm half as active and successful as Mr. Shatner is when I'm 83…if I even live that long ..
The cartilage in the nose and ears slowly grows as we age. This can be accelerated by a number of factors, including alcohol consumption. It usually can't be noticed over short spans, but several decades can show a pronounced effect.
Usually if I want to change the hair style I will buy the cheap hair wigs at the online shop so that it will neither cost me a lot and I can reach the goal of change my hair style easily. And just a week before I bought one short style wigs online and it makes me look better.
His beer-gut would've done much to distract from his Elvis wig ... that boy loves to eat!
Can't blame him... I love to eat too!
The good thing is Shatner never has to eat fruit salad again, unless he wants to.
It's taken me nearly 6 months and I'm - almost - down to Shatner's "third season girth." So I have nothing critical to say. I just wish I had the money to buy his hair....
Gerrold's The World of Star Trek, first edition, pp. 96-97:
"You know, when I changed my hair, the fans noticed it immediately. I just wasn't happy with it, but I didn't like it combed back either. I thought it looked like hell. But when I went to put it back the old way, Gene didn't like it. He decided I'd have to have a new hairdo, so he sent me to Sebring's. After that it was better, I was able to make it match more easily. It hasn't changed much since then, now it's just a little longer." (As verified by the 1972-73 photo of Doohan in the book.)
("Sebring's" must refer to the famous L.A. hair stylist Jay Sebring, who was one of Sharon Tate's guests killed by the Charles Manson gang in August 1969.)
Shatner's sideburns were still semi-pointy but a lot bushier in season 3, but I always assumed that was because in the real world most adult males (and even some teenagers) had bigger sideburns in 1968 than in '67.
That photo above must have been before shooting started. I recall a panicky memo from Roddenberry to Justman about how much weight Shatner had put on between seasons, and, from memory, Shatner agreed and went on a crash diet. And it worked, he slimmed down a lot.
Kirk's appearance was very different in Season 3 - he appears a lot older in the face (no doubt due to the personal dramas Shatner was having that Melakon mentioned). His hair/wig is darker and thicker, and even though he looks pudgy in the face, around the belly (in the season proper) he looks in the best shape he's been in since Season 1.

Bollywood star Aamir Khan's stylish movie Dhoom 3 is heading towards a massive release worldwide in December. With the third instalment from the Dhoom franchise getting ready to hit the screens, speculations and talks have already begun on its next movie in the series. Well, the buzz in the Tollywood has put Ajith Kumar to step into the shoes of Aamir Khan in Dhoom 4.
Kollywood, like every other industry, is awaiting the release of Dhoom 3, has started a debate on Dhoom 4. Many in the industry have started discussing about the next instalment even before the Aamir Khan's latest film hit the screens. The industry believes that Tamil star Ajith Kumar could be the ideal candidate to carry forward the Dhoom franchise.
There are many reasons for them to suggest Ajith Kumar's name. The actor is a passionate biker and avid car racer. Thala has participated in Formula One and also he has a pilot license. All these factors make him a favourite name for the Dhoom 4, which is about style, race and action.
Not to forget, the lead star will be projected in grey shades in Dhoom franchise and Ajith Kumar has delivered a couple of hits in negative role. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
Ajith In Negative Roles
Ajith Kumar's Mankatha and Vaali are some of his best movies in negative roles. The industry insiders point out this factor too to prove their argument that the Tamil actor could be the ideal man for Dhoom 4.
Ajith, The Best Bet
Well, whether the movie bosses of Dhoom franchise consider this or not, but Ajith Kumar could be the best bet, say traders in the Kollywood.
Ajith, A Stylish Star
Ajith Kumar is known as a stylish star in Tamil films. His immense popularity down South will benefit, if roped in for Dhoom 4, claims his fans on social networking sites.
Ajith's Bollywood Debut
Ajith Kumar had made his Bollywood debut in Shahrukh Khan's historical movie Asoka. He was seen in the negative role.
Rajinikanth's Dhoom Connect
Well, it is not the first time where a Tamil star's name is connected with the Dhoom franchise. When Dhoom 3 was announced, Tamil superstar Rajinikanth's name was doing rounds.
Rajinikanth's Superhero Look
It was the time when Rajinikanth's superhero look in Endhiran had taken the nation by storm. So, this factor had made rumour mongers to speculate that the Tamil superstar was being considered for the role, which has been played by Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3.
Rumours Turned Untrue
However, with respect, the makers of Dhoom series gave a clarification that Rajinikanth was not considered for the role.
Dhoom Franchise
Dhoom 3 stars Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles. In the earlier versions, John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan were seen in the negative roles in Dhoom 1 and 2, respectively.
Abhishek Bachchan
Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra have been part of all the instalments of Dhoom franchise. While the former plays the role of a cop, the latter will be mainly seen as his side-kick.

By Andy Grundberg
Published: September 4, 1983
Consider this scene: on a warm summer's night, a teen-age boy and girl are watching a drive-in movie, snuggled up in the front seat of a 1950's Buick convertible. To their right, on an embankment just beyond the last row of speaker posts, a smoking locomotive roars past, pulling its load of cars through the night. Yet neither the teen- agers nor any of the other moviegoers on hand appear to notice the train's dramatic intrusion.
Or this scene: in a typical mid-American living room, furnished in mainstream 50's taste, sit an average- looking American housewife and her child. On the floor in front of them, apparently asleep, is the faithful family dog. Next to the dog is the faithful cat. Behind the woman, not more than 20 feet from the room's picture window and framed by it, are the churning steel wheels of a passing train. The child waves as the train goes by.
Paintings by an unsung American Magritte, perhaps? Not quite. What these two scenes have in common, besides the bizarre and unexpected presence of trains, is that they are both found in photographs. The photographs were taken some 25 years ago by O. Winston Link, a commercial photographer and railroading buff whose work has only recently begun receiving the attention it deserves. About 30 of his images of trains and trainmen - a good many of them as strange as the ones I've described - can be seen at the International Center of Photography (1130 Fifth Avenue) through Sept. 22, in an exhibition organized by the Akron Art Museum. Visitors to the I.C.P.'s concurrent exhibition, ''The American Image,'' which was reviewed on these pages last week, should save some time and visual energy for Mr. Link's delightful and frequently incredible depictions of the allure of steam.
The pictures on view were taken in Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia, along the tracks of a single railroad, the Norfolk and Western, which Mr. Link first encountered in 1955 in the course of a commercial assignment. We are told by Carolyn Carr, the show's curator, that for the next five years the photographer made it his private mission to document the steam railroad, making trips south from his home base in New York whenever business was slack. In return for his unflagging (and presumably noncommercial) attentions, the railroad and its employees gave Mr. Link considerable cooperation, running trains either fast or slow, changing their schedules and - as is clear from the pictures themselves - venting buckets of steam whenever the photograph required it. Sometimes Mr. Link photographed the trains during the day, but his main preoccupation (and the focus of the exhibition) was to capture them at night, frozen in the actinic glare of the photographer's lights.
Seldom has the machine age been paid such fond and uncritical affection, and it is fitting that the act of taking these night photographs is as much a testament to technology as their steaming, clattering subjects. Using flashbulbs at a rate that machine guns use bullets, and stringing them together with thousands of feet of electrical wire, Mr. Link and his assistant choreographed these images as if they were still back in his New York studio. Preparations often required a day or more, and there was only one chance to make the preparations pay off - changing all those flashbulbs for a second exposure meant more hours of work. When the history of artificial- light photography is written Mr. Link - now 70 and still active - should get a chapter all to himself.
Besides performing technical feats, however, the photographer obviously meant to document the fast-disappearing era of steam railroading. He even went so far as to record the sounds of the bleats, belches and whistles of the locomotives. This documentary intention accounts for the more normative images to be seen in the show, portraits of trainmen and pictures of whistle-stop towns and junctions. These pictures - done in the glorifying style characteristic of industrial photography, with everything and everybody carefully posed and lit - seem a bit overelaborated for their purpose, but they do show us pieces of railroad life that we might otherwise never see.
Yet our interest today in Mr. Link's pictures, I would venture to say, is only partly due to his specific documentary intention. True, we may look with a mixture of amusement and awe at the bullet-nosed, streamlined- styled engines that were ''modern'' in their time, and marvel at their size, weight and power. But we are just as likely to notice the frumpy styling of the clothes and furniture in evidence in the photographs, or the contented, open-faced expressions of the various engineers, mechanics and stationmasters portrayed. Clearly we are in the presence of more than trains; as Miss Carr writes, ''Ostensibly documents of the last years of steam locomotion in the Shenandoah Valley, these photographs also depict the waning years of America's age of innocence.''
What also holds our attention in the best of these pictures is the unlikelihood of the situations they purport to document. How is it that a family is happily cavorting in a stream underneath a railroad trestle in the dead of night, or that a bevy of bathing beauties is relaxing on the edge of a swimming pool long past their curfew? Even when the pictures are not so obviously arranged we have trouble accounting for them. One, for example, shows the Norfolk and Western's main line running smack dab through the middle of the main street of North Fork, W. Va. If we look carefully, we can see a man in a third-floor window settling in for the night.

Anyone who missed Monday morning's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court missed an exceptional lesson in how some elected officials view the money they are given to operate.
Throughout a lengthy discussion on whether the Cooperative Extension District should be able to levee its own taxes, we heard comment after comment from the judge-executive and magistrates as they discussed "their" money and "their budget." Not once did they mention the very people who are forced to give them "their" money: the taxpayers.
Instead, the discussion devolved into a ridiculous game of figuring out how best to rob Peter to pay Paul.
Here's how: While discussing how much "rent" to charge the Extension for using the building that was built for it in the park, the court debated the average square-foot cost to rent "commercial" real estate. Magistrate John Wayne Conway took the low-ball approach and said he would be content with $11 a square foot, netting the county about $30,000 after it paid the building's utilities, on top of the $100,000 the county would save by allowing the Extension to set its own tax rate.
(Left to his own devices, it's doubtful that Conway would even want to charge rent or utilities - which would make the most sense - but only made that suggestion as part of his effort to get the agency out from under the county's thumb.)
Judge-Executive Steve Cornish said $11 per square foot is "cheap." He said commercial real estate in Lawrenceburg averages $20 per square foot, quickly adding that he wasn't suggesting that's how much the court should charge.
Conway countered that the Extension isn't "commercial," and on they went.
Next came the debate over whether the rent should include utilities, as magistrates debated how much of the electric bill the Extension should pay being that it only uses part of the building, etc.
While we certainly appreciate the court's fiscal watch-dog display, the bottom line is that it doesn't really matter how much rent is charged or who pays the utilities because the money is all coming from the same place: the taxpayers!
Whether the court or Extension taxes us to pay the electric bill makes no difference. The same amount of tax dollars will be used to pay the bill, regardless who writes the check.
Whether the court charges $1 per square foot or $100 per square foot makes no difference, either. Taxpayers are already paying the debt on the building, helping cover the costs for those who perform their duties in that building and paying the bills associated with that building. Giving the Extension tax dollars only to have it turn around and give that money to the court is an exercise in futility and amounts to nothing more than a shell game.
That would be akin to parents giving their children an allowance, only to collect it at the end of each month in the form of rent. Or sneaking into the bank, furtively transferring $1,000 from your savings to your checking account and thinking you now have more money to spend.
The Extension is a terrific organization which provides services to an estimated 11,000 people each year. That's a whole lot of bang for very little buck, folks.
It makes perfect sense to let that agency levee its own taxes, and we hope that the court eventually allows it to do so.
But rather than trying to figure out how to come out of this debate with more tax dollars in "their" account, we'd prefer our elected officials concern themselves with how this idea will best benefit those who give them "their" money to begin with.

30 June 1941, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Larry Hall was responsible for one Top 20 hit, 1960s Sandy. He first recorded the Terry Fell composition in 1959 for the tiny Hot 1 label. The rocking number went nowhere until the New York-based Strand label picked it up for distribution and the single went to number 15 in the US. Hall recorded another single, A Girl Like You, but it failed to chart. His subsequent efforts for the label also met with little response and after a few singles for the Gold Leaf label, Hall disappeared from the music scene. The one album he recorded for Strand, Sandy And Other Larry Hall Hits, is a valuable collectors item.

(Originally posted on Sunday, 24 July 2016; updated on Thursday, 15 June 2017)
I updated all the results after the end of the 2016-2017 season.
This is an altered version of my previous post on this topic. Now I calculate the draft value a little differently. I also eliminated a minor flaw in my formula for the draft value and now the draft value of a player who played in very few games will be close to zero, no matter how well he played in those games.
In this post:
How to compare NBA players (improved analysis)
I described a way to compare NBA players. To compare different NBA drafts I used the values of basketball statistics I had described there.
To compare NBA drafts I needed to gather data for over 2000 players, so at this point I would like to thank Mike from the site
who answered my plea for more precise NBA draft data by explaining to me how I could gather the required data in a very easy way. Thank You!
Mike explained to me that I can "filter by draft year for searches in the player season finder and can set the search for career stats", with this example:
Now to the point of my post. I decided to gather the data from the last 41 NBA drafts (1976-2016), because the year 1976 was the year when NBA merged with the ABA and the players from that draft were the first ones to play their whole NBA career against all the best players in the world. Obviously the most recent drafts will be properly judged in about 20 years.
The main problem I had to tackle was the definition of the "draft value". People can understand it in many different ways. One way of calculating the draft value is to judge the number of awards earned by the players from a particular draft, but not every MVP (and not every all-star) was equally good.
The only value that can be easily understood on its own is a per-game average, so I decided that I will calculate the draft value in a similar way.
The issue I had to address was the fact that some players played for only 10 years and some other played for over 20 years. The players who played for only 10 years were on average much younger when they ended their careers, so they had an easier time to post high career averages, comparing to the players who played over 20 years.
It's clear that the "star-players" who played more seasons were more valuable to their teams and overall to the league. Wouldn't it be better if Michael Jordan played 20 full seasons instead of taking two breaks from playing? Let's analyse an example. Below there are 6 different players that, just for the sake of the example, I analyse only as scorers.
1) 28.0 PPG in 1500 games = 42.000 PTS,
2) 30.0 PPG in 1000 games = 30.000 PTS,
3) 25.0 PPG in 1000 games = 25.000 PTS,
4) 20.0 PPG in 1300 games = 26.000 PTS,
5) 25.0 PPG in 500 games = 12.500 PTS,
Obviously player-1 is better (as a scorer) than player-2. It can actually be the same player who simply played more games and his PPG average dropped down a little when he was older. Imagine Michael Jordan who played 19 seasons without major injuries.
Player-4 may have a better career PTS total than player-3, but after 1000 games his PPG career average was definitely lower than the PPG career average of payer-4. So the player-3 was better than player-4.
Player-5 should be approaching the peak of his career, but we don't know how well and how long he will be playing in the future. He should not become better than player-4, but may become better than player-3. Right now he stands out from the crowd, but he is not among the best players ever, yet.
There were two main problems connected with the precise formula for the draft value:
1. What should be the reference point for a "valuable draft pick"?
2. How should be calculated the draft value for players who are OVER the reference point?
1. Reference point for a "valuable draft pick".
Common sense points out that star-players (with high per-game averages) should be preferred over non-star players (with lower per-game averages) who were more durable and played more seasons. On the other hand a star-player who played more seasons should be preferred over a star-player who played fewer seasons. These two aspects of a player (per-game average and numer of games played) are combined in his career totals, so the reference point should be based on career total value-points.
I decided that the reference point will be 20.000 career total value-points (overall value) – it's as if a player played in 800 games (10 seasons with only 20 games missed) and averaged 25.0 value-points per-game. In the analysed drafts there were only 35 NBA players with the overall value over 20.000, at least so far.
My formula for the draft value of players with the overall value of LESS than 20.000:
Draft value = overall value / games played * (1 + (overall value – 20000) * 1 / 20000)
The formula means that the draft value multiplier will be exactly 1 at the reference point, so the draft value will be equal to the value-points per-game average of the player. The multiplier for the players with lower overall value will be between 1 and 0.
2. Bonus for durable star-players.
Some of the star-players played in over 1400 games (Karl Malone) accumulating much more career total value-points than some other star-players who played in only 900 games (Larry Bird and Magic Johnson). Karl Malone was awesome on his own, but he should not be rewarded for his durability too much, otherwise his draft value will be unnaturally high. However he does deserve some bonus for his long and reliable career. I decided that the draft value multiplier above the reference point should be less sensitive to the overall value than below the reference point. I decided that the sensitivity above the reference point will be only 25% of the sensitivity below the reference point.
My formula for the draft value of players with the overall value of MORE than 20.000:
Draft value = overall value / games played * (1 + 0.25 * (overall value – 20000) * 1 / 20000)
The formula means that every player gets +5% of his value-points per-game average for every 4000 career total value-points above the reference point.
Let's see the draft values of the players from the example (assuming that overall value = PTS):
1) 35.7
2) 33.8
3) 26.6
4) 21.5
5) 15.6
Now, let's see the best players (according to my values of basketball statistics and my draft value formula) drafted in the last 40 years:
1. Michael Jordan: 32.3
2. Karl Malone: 31.2
3. LeBron James: 30.7
4. Hakeem Olajuwon: 28.8
5. Larry Bird: 28.3
6. Magic Johnson: 28.1
7. Charles Barkley: 27.5
8. Shaquille O'Neal: 27.4
9. David Robinson: 27.0
10. Kobe Bryant: 26.0
11. Tim Duncan: 25.8
12. Allen Iverson: 25.2
13. Kevin Garnett: 24.7
14. Chris Paul: 24.0
15. Dirk Nowitzki: 23.7
16. Patrick Ewing: 23.7
17. Clyde Drexler: 23.3
18. Dwyane Wade: 23.1
19. Dominique Wilkins: 22.8
20. Carmelo Anthony: 22.2
21. Kevin Durant: 22.1
22. John Stockton: 22.0
23. Isiah Thomas: 22.0
24. Chris Webber: 21.8
25. Dwight Howard: 21.7
26. Adrian Dantley: 21.4
27. Pau Gasol: 21.3
28. Jason Kidd: 21.2
29. Paul Pierce: 20.5
30. Russell Westbrook: 20.2
These lists make even more sense than before. Now Michael Jordan is at the top of the list, instead of Karl Malone, but Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan are behind David Robinson. Well, any way of calculating the draft value would be more or less controversial. I believe that the case for Karl Malone as the most valuable draft pick ever is still viable – it seems to me that he is usually criminally underrated:
This is the box-score for the game:

This is certainly the hottest summer I have experienced in India in 20 years and it's only just past April. May used to be the month for mangoes and morbid heat. Global warming is hitting us hard and fast and if we don't all watch Al Gore's documentary on the subject and get ourselves a collective conscience, there will be little point writing on delectable dishes because there won't be much available. How dismal is that prospect?
Let us console ourselves that mangoes are still available, albeit in smaller quantities this year, I have been reliably informed. This means that prices will be much higher. As I write this, I can hear thunder and, more than likely, another downpour (we had our first a few days ago), which means even fewer Alphonso mangoes. The saying on the west coast of India is that you must eat your last Alphonso as soon as the rains begin. From then onwards, the seeds start to cobweb and you get a delicious but fragmented fruit that often rots from the inside.
Although there is no fat in a mango, it's a high-carb fruit, thanks to all that natural sugar. It also contains a heap of vitamin C. So, if you are not really worried too much about calories, you can go ahead and splurge.
Eating a mango must be one of life's true pleasures; it is delicious, with a creamy sensual texture and soul satisfying at the same time. When I was living in London in the 1970s, I saw mangoes appear one day on the fruit shelves of Marks & Spencer. Two weeks later, they had stickers on them with instructions on how to eat them: peel, cut into pieces and so on. Apparently, people were biting into them, with the skin, like an apple, and then complaining about the fruit.
Mango is native to India and, unlike many things which came here from the New World, the mango was one thing the Portuguese actually took back to South America and Africa. There are hundreds of varieties and uses. In the West, trendy chefs are now using it in salads with chicken and seafood and in chutney form to add sweetness and flavour to barbecues and roasts. Desserts with mango are legendary. I especially like the way every region in India has its own mango pickle and raw mango chutneys. I recently had one in Ahmedabad, made with ground raw mango, jaggery, chilli and onion.
As far as varieties go, the king is Alphonso. I say that proudly since I come from the west coast of India. But I have to say that, over the years, I have been disappointed by the Alphonso. You have to get your hands on really good ones for the experience to be memorable. The owners of the Cidade de Goa hotel in Goa have managed to identify Alphonso orchards which produce fantastic, organic fruit. They also grow on their property the much underrated Goan variety, Mancorade, which is fragrant and truly wonderful. A common, not so sought after variety I love is the Banganapali from Tamil Nadu. These are sweet, inexpensive fruit and are available in season all along the streets of Chennai.
This week, I share with you one of my all-time favourite recipes, Chicken with Mango Mayonnaise, a deliciously wicked summer recipe. If you can get hold of smoked duck, it is even better than chicken. Use Alphonso or any flavoursome ripe mango, which isn't stringy.
Chicken in Mango Mayonnaise
A superior chicken or duck salad.
Serves 2
400gm chicken breast (boneless), roasted or pan-fried and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 red peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 to 6 red radishes, cut into rounds
100gm water chestnuts (singada), fresh or tinned, cut into rounds
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1-1/2 tsp Madras curry powder
1 large fresh mango, cut into cubes (discard seed)
1/4 cup mango juice
For the dressing, mix mayonnaise roughly with the mango pieces and the curry powder. Add mango juice. Reserve a few good slices of radish for garnish. Mix rest of the ingredients with the dressing and arrange on a platter. Garnish with red radish and serve chilled on a bed of lettuce.

So as some of you know, I was given the chance to write my very first IGN Guide. All my other works were IGN Walkthroughs or FAQs. I was very excited and grateful for the opportunity I was given. Zipper and Playstation allowed me into the private beta, and I wrote a short beta guide the week after. For those of you who are unfamiliar with my work, I specialize in the multiplayer area of video games. I can do single player, and I even do pretty good side game stuff like Zombies, but I seem to do best in multiplayer.
After a lengthy multiplayer beta, the game finally released April 19. Many old school SOCOM fans didn't enjoy SOCOM 4, and I took heat for enjoying a decent game - weird but whatevs. They uped the experience points a whole lot, so I wasn't able to rank up things as fast as I could in the beta. I wanted to finish the multiplayer section first, then move onto the single player. But, as you all know, Playstation Network went down the night after the release day. I wasn't able to get too much information on the multiplayer, outside of the beta info which may have changed. I had no choice but to play single player now. I went through both Story Campaign and Custom Campaign. I found all hidden junk, played through elite, and platinumed the game within 4 days I believe. You can find the SOCOM 4 Guide by clicking here.
Playstation Network is still down and may be down until next Tuesday. That's two weeks after the game's release! I was really disappointed with PSN. It pretty much screwed up my big chance to shine! I will still add the multiplayer information when PSN is comes back up, but that won't be for awhile. At the same time, more game DLC will be coming out that I've been planning to work on. My video game worlds are colliding!
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the SOCOM 4 Guide. I also hope I get more chances to show my worth. This Tuesday is the Escalation Map Pack for Call of Duty Black Ops. I'll try my best to work on that and give full zombie maps and details, just like the others. You will be able to view the DLC Walkthroughs on both IGN and HXCFPS.com. SOCOM 4 is IGN only. I did a quick and small breakdown of the first zombie trailer a few days ago. If you haven't seen it, you can check it out here.

Hello, everyone! I hope you have been keeping well and as happy as possible in the onset of winter and impending deadlines and exams. Since the last edition of The Squealer I have supported and gathered responses for the UCSU Housing Survey. The survey aims to provide students with information about the quality of local accommodation and we hope to reveal the results soon. I've talked to students across campuses, promoting the Headspace app and discussing the changes you would like to see with UCSU support. I've advised you on accommodation issues in Ambleside and Carlisle and ensured that action was taken on your behalf. Working with LiSS International, I supported the International Food Bazaar in Lancaster. With my fellow officers I delivered "Vote of Thanks" speeches at the Cathedral during Graduation Week. I also ensured completion of a number of surveys regarding your awareness of services that the University delivers to support students with disabilities. I will provide a summary of results to the participants and to the University, to further promote awareness and effectiveness of UoC Student Support. I'm always willing to talk with you and get feedback about any health & wellbeing, accommodation and personal welfare topics or concerns that you may have, so that we can do what we can to make sure you have the happiest and healthiest time at university as you possibly can!
The Squealer | Officer Update
BETHANY CUTTER Welcome back to a new year at UCSU! We had a very busy end of semester 1, and we have lots planned for 2017! Since our last update, I've been very busy at all your campuses. In November, I ran the #thisUCSUgirlcan week which saw 16 events ran by student groups across campuses and a sweaty selfie competition. We also had Ghyll scrambling in Ambleside which you can find out about on page 22. I've helped RAG society run some events to raise money for Look Good Feel Better cancer charity and we had the first 2 panel meetings, giving me lots to do with your ideas! One of the things the Panel have achieved is getting the Rigg Cottage opened as a social space at Ambleside campus. I will be continuing to work on water dispensers, microwaves and all the other ideas you have. At the 2016 Graduations, I gave the vote of thanks, and I attended the new Vice Chancellors Inauguration. On Brampton Road, we had an Artsy Fartsy Pizza Party, where we received some great feedback, and during December I ran around dressed as an elf, handing out candy canes spreading Christmas cheer! You can imagine we were ready for break after all that! As well as all this, we've been planning the next semester of events and activities so keep an eye out for fun around campuses. I'll be working with students to plan and run Fairtrade Fortnight, helping out with our elections, working on your Panel ideas and continuing to talk to as many of you as possible. If you want help with an idea you have or anything else, please do contact me. Let's have a great 2017 at Cumbria!

THERESA PELLEGRINO Welcome back! Christmas, presents, family, time off, New Year, and countless naps; the holidays are always a good time to relax. Here's hoping you have all had a good rest and have come back refreshed, ready for Semester 2. For some of you these next few months will be the home stretch; which means completing dissertations and the end of your time at Uni. I found this time of my Uni life the most difficult. There are days you might consider giving up, just as I did; however, keep going – I promise it will be worth it! Make sure you give yourself enough time to complete assignments, take many breaks (or even naps, I guarantee this will help!), keep yourself hydrated and fed and make sure you book in time to chat to friends, who are a great source of support! The LiSS team are also available to help out with referencing, regulation queries and further support so be sure to use them. And if you are still finding it difficult, just pop into the office or get in touch for a chat. Our support team are fantastic and I am available for chats through Facebook, Twitter, email or in person – don't struggle alone! In the next few months I will be holding drop-in sessions in the various cafeterias on different campuses (dates and time will be found on our website and social media soon). I will be available for any advice you might need on all things academic over a tea or coffee, and will try my best to help were I can – I look forward to meeting lots of you! Till next time … T

The Squealer | Officer Elections
So it'll soon be election time again where you'll be voting for your UCSU officers for the 2017/18 academic year. That's all well and good but I can hear you asking what exactly are UCSU elections? Why should I put myself forward as a candidate? Why should I vote? Hello everyone, my name is Matt Bradbury and I have been a candidate in three UCSU elections now. Winning two Panel elections to become Department of Business, Law, Policing and Social Sciences rep in 2015/16 and to become Postgraduate rep for 2016/17 and in the middle I ran unsuccessfully for Welfare and Support Officer. This means I've been on both sides of the election results but for once; it actually is the taking part that counts. The reason why I first stood as a candidate in the Panel election is because I'd had a taster of what UCSU is and does, through my role as a team leader and academic rep. I wanted to get students' voices heard and ensure they were listened to as the most integral part of the university. Not only that, but the pride you get from being able to say that you represent your peers is hugely rewarding and it all helps the CV too. After being on the Panel in 2015/16, I was amazed at how much the students actually get a say on. For example, any student can submit any idea that they think would improve any aspect of life at the University of Cumbria and through the Panel students can have their say on the biggest of decisions such as our affiliation with NUS for example. 7
Elections are your opportunity to vote for who you want to represent you as your Panel reps and officers, and with the officer elections looming you don't want to miss out. Even if being a candidate isn't for you, make sure you use your vote and have your say on who you want representing you to be the person that makes sure your voice is heard. If you're unsure about any aspect of the elections, pop into your UCSU office and speak to one of the team, their door's always open. In addition to being a postgraduate psychology student, I also work full-time for the university in marketing and recruitment and I can confidently say that having the experience of being involved in UCSU elections helped me to get my job. See, that's the best thing about being a candidate; the confidence it gives you and the people you get to meet. I mentioned earlier that it really is the taking part that counts and that's because of what you get from being a part of a UCSU election. So if you want to meet a variety of new people across all campuses and courses as well as gain confidence and skills whilst improving your CV, what are you waiting for? Visit your UCSU office and find out more about the elections and being a candidate. Written by Matt Bradbury

The Squealer | LGBT History Awareness Month
KILLED The names you see here are the names of those who have died because of antitransgender violence. 386 deaths have been confirmed through the media in the last 5 years with many more which have gone unreported. Whilst we are celebrating LGBT History awareness, we must never forget those who have lost their lives because of ignorance, bigotry and fascism. From the Admiral Duncan pub bombing, to the Pulse Orlando shooting, from those who are still killed and imprisoned in 76 states to the thousands of LGBT people killed in the holocaust. WE REMEMBER. In pride and solidarity. UCSU
February sees the celebration of LGBT History Awareness month in 2017. The aim of the celebration for 2017 is focused on Citizenship, Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE) and Law. It also marks the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of male homosexuality in England and Wales. The overriding aim of LGBT History month is to promote equality and diversity • Increasing the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ("LGBT") people, their history, lives and their experiences in the curriculum and culture of educational and other institutions, and the wider community; • Raising awareness and advancing education on matters affecting the LGBT community; • Working to make educational and other institutions safe spaces for all LGBT communities; and • Promoting the welfare of LGBT people, by ensuring that the education system recognises and enables LGBT people to achieve their full potential, so they contribute fully to society and lead fulfilled lives, thus benefiting society as a whole.* (*Quoted directly from http://lgbthistorymonth.org. uk/about/)
NUS are marking February as LGBT + History Month, with the theme being QTIPOC (Queer Trans Intersex People of Colour) and NUS are launching a 'QTIPOC history'. NUS will also be marking the awareness month through the celebration of LGBT+ women in history and will be touring Student Unions throughout the UK during February. Get Involved For more information about the aims of LGBT History Awareness Month 2017 and how you could get involved visit: http://lgbthistorymonth.org.uk/ Did you know there is an LGBTQ representative on the UCSU Panel? Callum Baines was elected in October. If you want to get in touch with him, please do so via firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also contact your Welfare and Support Officer, Rowan at email@example.com

Volunteering Volunteering with Sense Holidays Written by Rebekah Russell, Student Occupational Therapist and Sense Volunteer
I wanted to do something different with my summer. Something positive that would further myself and my career prospects. When I found out about Sense holidays and short breaks I applied straight away; what could be more rewarding than giving a child with complex needs an exciting holiday? Volunteering with deafblind children would be new to me. I thought it could be a perfect opportunity for me to gain new skills and experiences to benefit my future career as I work towards becoming a paediatric Occupational Therapist, demonstrating how even outside of my course I am striving to develop myself as a healthcare professional – perfect for my Continuing Professional Development portfolio! As a group of four children, five volunteers and one experienced holiday leader we spent a week exploring the local attractions of Wiltshire; from Legoland to strawberry picking, and enjoying swimming in the pool at our cottage. During the holiday I developed my Makaton and communication skills, and became confident in supporting each child as an individual, learning how to manage their environment to keep them happy, and how to calm them when they felt overwhelmed. Most importantly I encouraged the holidaymaker I was paired with over the week to engage in the world around her and watched her joy as she did. I couldn't have hoped to work with a more amazing bunch of volunteers; we were such a strong and positive team from the moment we arrived. Cheesy as it sounds, it was like a family. I have so many fond memories of my Sense holiday; as you'd expect, it had its challenges at times, but they were certainly outweighed by the smiles and laughs. Will I be back next year? 100% yes.
Sense organise holidays and short breaks throughout the year and all around the UK for people of all ages with multisensory impairments and complex needs. You can find out more information about the work we do and how you can get involved by visiting www.ucsu.me/volunteering-opportunities

Volunteering Fair Tuesday 29th November On the 29th November the University of Cumbria, UCSU and Cumbria CVS held a volunteering fair in the Learning Gateway at the Fusehill Street Campus. Students and members of the public came to find out about different things they could get involved in that would develop their skills and experience whilst fitting in with the time they have available. The event was attended by the following organisations: Age UK Carlisle & Eden, Cumbria Law Centre, East Cumbria Family Support, Cumbria Youth Offending Team, Prison Advice and Care Trust (Pact), Carlisle Youth Zone, Victim Support, Carlisle Carers, Circles of Support/CROPT, People First Independent Advocacy, Eden Valley Hospice, Cumbria Constabulary, Oxfam Bookshop, Carlisle Key and the British Red Cross. The fair was a great way to talk informally to different charities and find opportunities that would fit in with your interests and link with studies and career paths. For those of you who weren't able to get to the fair but would like to find out about different volunteering roles in your area please visit our volunteering platform where you can read about what's available and how it can work for you: www.ucsu.me/volunteering
National Student Volunteering Week – February 2017 Student Volunteering Week will highlight all the volunteering students currently take part in in their communities and will take place from Monday 20th - Friday 24th February 2017. We would love to hear from any students who currently volunteer and for you to tell us more about what you do and the organisations you volunteer with – whatever and wherever it may be. UCSU will also be teaming up with local organisations to host volunteering project days for students from all sites to get involved in so it will be a fantastic opportunity for you to give volunteering a go, do something different, have fun, meet new people and gain new skills. If you'd like to get involved, contact firstname.lastname@example.com

We're a society formed solely to evangelise, we're nondenominational and welcome all students to our meetings where we are trained to share the gospel both with our friends and through the events we run. Here's a quick round up of what we got up to last semester: We had a large growth in membership with an official count of 28 members, which is amazing. We have loved meeting new people and having a chance to engage in many different conversations about Christian life and advise each other with any issues that we may have. Last semester we also had our first series of talks called the 'WHY?' series. This series has allowed us to explore the questions that we ask ourselves within our own Christian lives such as 'why do we have to go to church?'. It has allowed us to grow in ways that we never thought we would and has also allowed to have a better understand of life as a young Christian. We would like to just take this opportunity to thank all the speakers that were involved in this series. We really appreciate all the preparation that you had to go through and the encouragement that you have brought to us. At the end of October we had the opportunity to meet with the other CUs of the University of Cumbria and the University of Central Lancashire. We had a great time worshipping God together and learning new things from different CU's that have the same aim and vision as us of spreading the gospel around their campuses. This weekend had also allowed to grow more as a CU by getting to know each other more and benefitting from many different activities and different perspective of the word. At the end of the year we teamed with The Way and the University of Cumbria Chaplaincy. This was a great way to finish the year and a great opportunity to spread the gospel and also have a great time singing different carols. In addition to this we had the pleasure of having the CU band play during the service and would just like to say well done to them for doing so well.
Carols in the Castle Written by Gemma Acton
The Carols in the Castle Service is a combined event between Lancaster University Christian Union and University of Cumbria Christian Union which took place on Thursday 8th December. We organised a free service at Lancaster Castle and free mulled wine and mince pies were provided. Adrian Holloway spoke and a number of local choirs/ bands performed across the evening. It was a really great way to spend a Thursday night on the lead up to Christmas.

TO CHEER E M O C L E W – S T IN UCSU SA UCSU Saints have had a great first semester! There are currently over 30 members of hardworking, committed, spirited girls. Cheerleading has regained members from last year's drop while Pom Dance has sustained interest around campus. The captain has implemented an inclusive coaching style which has allowed for a diverse group of cheerleaders this year with a whole range of special skills! Practice is well under way for competition in March, and we are confident for our chances of getting a trophy. In cheerleading, we are stunting our Pyramid and stunt groups; the flyers are increasing in confidence and the girls' jumps are getting much higher and cleaner. Pom Dance have learned their competition routine and are working on being perfectly timed and not dropping our poms (this is harder than it seems!) in the pom pass. You may have seen some of the routine, as we performed for the #thisUCSUgirlcan campaign to help raise money. We are sponsored by Student Housing Lancaster and Dalton Rooms; come say hi if you see us around, we'll be wearing our bows. Come see us in January at the Refreshers fair, we are always looking for new members. If you are hardworking and enthusiastic you are perfect for the team! This year we will be holding events to raise money for Manchester Children's Hospital to support the fantastic job they do in supporting children and their families. Keep an eye out for more details. Congratulations to Abigail Grimshaw and Paige Hadley for completing their Level 2 cheerleading coaching, ready to run Cheer Society 20172018. Best of luck girls!

n o e r u t A fea Graduation
Images credited to Ede & Ravenscroft
In November we were pleased to celebrate the achievements of a new set of University of Cumbria graduates, including three of our own staff members. Your officers represented UCSU at each of the graduation ceremonies, giving a "vote of thanks" and taking part in the academic procession. This was the first time they had been invited to do so, and they each enjoyed taking part in the ceremonies. Theresa, your academic officer, also represented UCSU at the formal inauguration of Professor Julie Mennell as the institution's vice chancellor. The ceremony, led by the Most Reverend and Right Honourable Dr John Sentamu, Chancellor of University of Cumbria and Archbishop of York, took place at Carlisle Cathedral on Thursday 24 November. In her inaugural speech, Professor Mennell spoke of her determination to make the university "a strong anchor institution" developing a strong STEM, rural and visitor economy, arts and culture, health and well-being and education portfolio for Cumbria, Lancashire and beyond." And with the university set to mark its tenth anniversary in August she told staff and students of her desire to build on the institution's success so far: "I make a firm commitment to all of you here today to ensure that as the university's new vice chancellor I provide, the leadership, directly and by supporting and empowering others, needed for us to enable and inspire success." Prior to becoming vice chancellor, Professor Mennell was at the University of Sunderland spending time as deputy vice chancellor where her recent role involved leading the university's development activities including international and transnational activities, student recruitment and product development. She has also held senior positions at Northumbria and Teesside universities and is a former president and honorary member of the North East Association of Science Education and a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, The Chartered Society for Forensic Sciences, Institute of Measurement & Control and the RSA. In her speech, Theresa said "With challenging times ahead in higher education the students of the University of Cumbria look more than ever to the Vice Chancellor for inspirational leadership. We request that her approach is both innovative and progressive and one that places the importance of the learner at the very heart of the future developments of the university across all of its campuses."

The Panel What we did in December The Panel reps met for the second time on Saturday 10th December and had a somewhat unusual meeting where some housekeeping issues were discussed in order to make meetings run more smoothly and give all representatives a better chance to voice their opinions. Alyson Dickson, the Associate Dean, also visited to present and discuss with the Panel the principles and effects of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). The Framework is part of the current government's reform plan for Higher Education Institutions and aims at grading the quality of teaching provision in UK Universities. You can read more about the TEF at www.hefce.ac.uk/lt/tef/ More Ideas need your attention on our Student Voice platform and from there you can also view what your Officers, Bethany, Theresa and Rowan are currently working on.

So what sort of things could I get information and support about? Academic Appeals - seek support fast, as you will only have 10 working days from the day that your results are officially released to you. Student Complaints - if you're unsure of what to do, book a consultation and a caseworker will listen to you and chat through potential options. Adjudications - don't be alone. If you are subject to an adjudication procedure, UCSU is here to support you through the process.
S sta ART y a step ahead
Did you know that you can now book an appointment to see one of our Student Support case workers via our website? It's really easy... if you think you need support or information about any academic related or student life issues just go to: www.ucsu.me/ support and click on the appropriate links at the bottom of the page. You can book an initial consultation, or if you're already receiving support, further appointments with available case workers, at a time and day that that's convenient for you. Who are we? The team is a friendly bunch. We run an impartial, confidential and nonjudgemental service to support you, whatever it is you're going through. And if we can't help we will try and refer you to a person, service or organisation that may be able to.
Malpractice Panels - If you are suspected of things like plagiarism or collusion, you can get help from our caseworkers throughout the process. Progress Reviews - Not sure about what this means? Don't be afraid to approach the UCSU Student Support team. And anything else... just come and chat things through with us and if we are unable to provide you with the best support, we will try our hardest to point you in the right direction.

From Monday 7th November – Sunday 13th November UCSU took part in the national This Girl Can campaign by holding a range of events for #thisUCSUgirlcan. Led by your officer Bethany Cutter, a range of student groups put on activities encouraging you to try everything from tennis to cheerleading. In addition to getting active, RAG society put on events in Carlisle, Ambleside and Lancaster which led to them raising over £100 for the Look Good Feel Better charity.
For the #thisUCSUgirlcan campaign week, the SU put on a Ghyll Scramble event for the Ambleside campus. Ghyll Scrambling is essentially walking/climbing up a river, with rock jumps and slides.
It had snowed lots in the Lakes the day before, and it was pretty cold, but four girls hardened up and we met our lovely instructor Dave. The water was COLD, but we had so much fun! Lots of climbing up a rock-face to jump into a pool, as well as my favourite bit- a rock slide that just ends half way down and then you drop! We had a really fun time, despite the cold- but thanks to the SU for putting it on! It was really great to hang out as a group of girls and do something a bit different!

Ingredients 1 sheet of ready rolled puff pastry 40g butter 350g leeks (chopped up) Dried oregano to taste 2 rashers of unsmoked bacon cut into small pieces 100g cheese of your choice (I used cheddar) Milk, for brushing
Method • Place the pastry squares on a baking sheet and use the tip of a sharp knife to score each one about 1cm from the edge all the way around. • Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the leeks and fry gently, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the bacon, and continue frying. Add the oregano, salt and pepper to season to taste. Divide the leek mixture between the pastry squares, placing it inside the scored lines. • Top each tartlet with cheese and brush the pastry with milk. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Serve warm. I enjoyed the tartlets with spiced potato wedges and salad. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and are great cold for lunch the next day. Enjoy! Contributed by Nicola Haydon, UCSU Communications and Marketing Co-ordinator

(4:52 p.m. EST) -- Beginning in November, fans of "Beauty and the Beast" can enjoy a new Disney Cruise Line musical production show of the same name aboard Disney Dream.
Joining the ranks of the"Golden Mickeys" and "Disney Believe," "Beauty and the Beast" will debut on Disney Dream's November 6 voyage. The production, set inside a music box, will feature favorite songs from the animated film, as well as new tunes from Disney's live-action remake, which will be showing in theaters and on Disney ships beginning March 17.
In addition to music and dancing, the show will employ high-definition projections, elaborate costumes and puppetry; enchanted objects -- think Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts -- will come to life on stage.
This will mark the third consecutive year that Disney has launched a new musical production aboard its cruise ships. The first,"Tangled, the Musical," rolled out on Disney Magic in fall 2015, and"Frozen, the Musical" joined Disney Wonder in fall 2016.

This exploratory study compares the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores between 143 students who received mental health services and 144 students who received medical services at a southern California community college through the on-campus Student Health Center during the academic year 2013–2014. It describes the type of problems that brought students to medical or mental health services, the kind of services provided, and the ethnic diversity of the students who were provided treatment. Results indicated that the majority of medical and mental health clients were female, ranging in age from seventeen to fifty-nine years. No age or ethnic differences were found between groups. The mean PHQ-9 scores of mental health clients were significantly higher than those of medical clients. Mental health clients had a mean of 12.31 while medical clients had a mean of 3.33 (t = 13.70, p < .001). The most frequently recorded medical services provided were required physical examinations for nursing classes or sport activities (12.5%) and tuberculosis testing (7.6%). Of note, 25.9 percent of medical clients indicated clinically significant levels of depression on the PHQ-9. Additionally, 35 percent of medical clients indicated that their symptoms made it difficult to do their work, take care of things at home, or get along with other people. Mental health diagnoses included: depression 55.2 percent, anxiety 34.3 percent, and stress 4.2 percent. Mental health clients received a mean of 4.75 counseling sessions using a brief therapy model (up to 8 sessions). Clinical implications are provided. Areas for future research are outlined.
