The word is: "If you don't vote for Donald, you waste your vote and help elect Hillary!by Bayou Reformed on 10/08/16
It's not a matter of life and math. God isn't rolling dice. The lot isn't cast by chance. So, what do you do with your vote in this upcoming election? You do what any other ordinary person should do: Pray / Vote your conscience./ Then, after sleeping well and early the next day, get up and praise God you are breathing and remember which limbs are to be covered by your t-shirt and continue dressing accordingly. Then, grab that coffee mug and go online to check out who the manifested will of God has placed in authority over us for the next four years.
A wise Catholic monk once said (to paraphrase and use in a different context): It is not wise nor safe to go against one's conscience. Oh, and another said in Proverbs: "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD."

In an update on an old story, an investment banker asks the client to pay by placing one penny on the first square of a chessboard, two pennies on the second square, four on the third, doubling the number on each square that follows. If the banker had asked for this on only the white squares, the initial penny would double thirty-one times to \$21,474,836 on the last square. Using both the black and the white squares, the sum on the last square is \$92,233,720,368,547,758.
People are reasonably good at estimating how things add up, but for compounding, which involved repeated multiplication, we fail to appreciate how quickly things grow. As a result, we often lose sight of how important even small changes in the average rate of growth can be. For an investment banker, the choice between a payment that doubles with every square on the chessboard and one that doubles with every other square is more important than any other part of the contract. Who cares whether the payment is in pennies, pounds, or pesos? For a nation, the choices that determine whether income doubles in one generation or two dwarf all other economic policy concerns.

Early philosophers often engaged in debates concerning the nature of humor, posing each other enigmatic questions beginning with "What's the deal with" and ending with "Am I right?" Indulge in classic rhetoric with this GrouponLive deal to see Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood: Two Man Group at Lowell Memorial Auditorium. For $25, you get one ticket for Friday, April 13, at 8 p.m. (up to a $49.50 value, including all fees). Reserved seating will be the best available at the time of redemption.
Longtime Whose Line Is It Anyway? stars Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood have toted their quick-witted, improvised comedy around the country for years. Not bound by scripts, the duo takes suggestions from the audience and fluidly bounces off each other's screwball bits to craft hilarious scenes on the fly. As the evening rolls on, they draft game but uncoached audience members into the onstage action. Though audiences can expect daredevil games and easy patter between the two stage vets, the form of any given show won't unfold until the night of the performance—as Mochrie reported to the Herald-Review, they've "developed an aversion to ever performing the same joke or routine twice." Built in 1920 to commemorate World War II veterans, the auditorium suffuses even the most lighthearted events with a sense of history and the patronage of local bald-eagle populations.
Lowell Memorial Auditorium
Founded to commemorate local US veterans, Lowell Memorial Auditorium's imposing, neoclassical exterior is ringed with inscriptions immortalizing famous generals and pivotal battles throughout the years, including Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, and San Juan Hill. The venue's history hasn't been all serious, however—in its early years, shortly after Word War I, its most popular event was the weekly Bingo game, which often attracted up to 3,000 participants and prompted Life to call Lowell a "natural Bingopolis." The decades following saw everything from conventions and civic affairs to performances by Benny Goodman and the Golden Gloves boxing tournament. By 1979 the building was so worn down from floods, hurricanes, and economic depression that it necessitated a major renovation to bring it into the modern era. Today, its stage is fit for Broadway-scale shows, the behind-the-stage balcony is gone, and air conditioning protects against summer heat and litigious snowmen.

Local Search Optimization
Local Search Optimization is the increasingly important component of a competitive internet marketing campaign that is focused on attracting highly targeted local traffic to your website. Today's consumers use the internet as their primary source of information about local business, making traditional methods of local advertising, like the Yellow Pages, obsolete. By implementing a solid Local Search Optimization strategy, your company will be uniquely poised to capitalize on this shift in consumer behavior.
Internet users searching for local information are extremely likely to convert into sales or leads: A full 82% of the people who discover your business through local search will follow up with a phone call or a walk-in visit. -TMP/Comscore
This tendency for potential customers to contact you directly provides an exceptional growth opportunity for businesses that firmly establish their online presence through Local Search Optimization.
The Search Engines Are Adapting – Are You?
The major search engines Google, Yahoo, and Bing work to consistently provide the most relevant results possible. The growing trend among internet users to include geographically specific keywords in their search queries has continued to build momentum, and the search engines have taken note:
Google recently reported that a full 20% of its search queries included geographically specific terms. With roughly 14.3 billion total searches performed each month, nearly 3 billion contain local search terms.
Google has responded to the surge of geo-specific search queries by giving locally optimized results considerably more weight. They prominently display local business locations using Google Maps at the top of their results pages, along with contact information and customer reviews on a Google Places page.
Yahoo Local and Bing Local have followed suit, making it easier than ever for searchers to find businesses in their area. Moreover, the algorithms the search engines use to rank these invaluable local search results positions are significantly different than those used for traditional search results. This gives your business the ability to outrank competitors with substantially higher advertising budgets, making Local Search Optimization an integral component of a successful online marketing strategy.
Mobile Search: A Way of Life
As smartphones like the iPhone and Android continue to command a growing share of the mobile marketplace, and tablets like the iPad increase in popularity, the relevance of mobile search has proved to be more than just a passing fad:
In early 2011, the U.S. alone had more than 234 million mobile phone users, and nearly 50% of them used their mobile devices for search within a given month. -Search Engine Watch (May 2011)
For local businesses, this is great news. Mobile phone and tablet users are among the most likely to search for local businesses, especially while on the go. Mobile devices naturally encourage shorter search queries and hyper-local results, so a top ranking in Google Places and other local search platforms gives your business a distinct advantage over your competition.
Leveraging the Power of Local Search Optimization
Our Local Search Optimization service combines specialized techniques that will propel you to the top of the Google Places, Yahoo Local, and Bing Local with traditional SEO strategies that will raise your position in the organic search results pages. Our comprehensive research process allows us to formulate a thorough plan to expand your customer base and build authority in your local market.
By creating, locating, and optimizing online profiles for your business, we ensure that the information your customers are finding on the web is accurate and up to date. Additionally, our Local Search Optimization strategy embraces the growing popularity of "socially relevant" sites and mobile applications like Foursquare, Yelp, and Citysearch. We encourage customer reviews and testimonials that will improve your position in the local search results pages and provide the "social proof" that transforms curious searchers into loyal customers.
Our Local Search Optimization services allow your business to harness the potential of this rapidly growing traffic source. Our unique combination of technical expertise and marketing savvy will put your business "on the map", allowing you to attract a steady stream of new customers and leads, and maximizing the ROI from your marketing campaign.

California's longstanding budget deadlock ended well past dawn on Thursday with a single vote from Republican Abel Maldonado, ending a stalemate that had left California without an operational budget for over three months. With a new budget in place, lawmakers are hopeful that they can stave off looming state job layoffs and a potentially crippling $41 billion deficit.
The budget, written primarily by Democrats, included substantial tax increases which Republicans deeply opposed. Without at least three Republican votes the budget remained in limbo until Democrats were able to convince Maldonado to approve more than $12 billion in tax increases in exchange for changing local election rules he believed were unfairly benefiting Democrats.
Governor Schwarzenegger, who was elected in part on a no new taxes platform, was happy to finally see the budget passed and hopeful for California's fiscal and political future.
"This is a very difficult budget, but we have turned this crisis into an
opportunity to make real, lasting reforms for California," Schwarzenegger said
in a statement. "Some special interests may not like this budget
-- but like I always say, what's good for the people is not always good for
special interests."
Popular VideoThis young teenage singer was shocked when Keith Urban invited her on stage at his concert. A few moments later, he made her wildest dreams come true.
It's unknown if Schwarzenegger will still have to follow through on his promise to layoff more than 10,000 state workers.

Good Class Bungalows and landed properties in prime locations are out of reach for most home buyers, but suburban landed homes provide affordable alternatives with good investment potential.
The Business Times | MARCH 01, 2013
While the non-landed residential property market has been attracting much interest over the past two years, landed homes have maintained their charm as an attractive investment segment, with its prestigious home proposition and promising capital appreciation.
Although Good Class Bungalows (GCB) remain the most sought after class of landed homes, only a very small proportion of the population gets to own these crème de la crème homes, given their limited supply and high price.
Smaller bungalows on land plots below 1,400 sq metres (15,069.46 sq ft) provide a suitable alternative for home buyers who strive for landed properties but are unable to afford a GCB. Alongside bungalows, semi-detached and terrace houses are also popular choices for well-heeled Singaporeans.
The following overview on conventional landed homes pertains only to landed properties smaller than 1,400 sq metres in land area, excluding all strata-landed properties as well as landed homes in Sentosa.
Homestyle flexibility
Owning a landed property enables homeowners to live up to their aspirations and preferences when it comes to designing or renovating the house. This is unlikely to be achieved in strata-landed properties where homeowners share common facilities with other strata owners.
Unlike single dwellings that require approval solely from the planning authority, renovating a strata unit is more difficult due to the consent required from the management corporation, considerations from neighbouring unit(s) and the need to use common areas during the renovation process.
For these reasons, it is increasingly common for purchasers to buy old landed properties and redevelop them to their preferred design with greater flexibility.
Although common facilities are often touted as a unique selling point of strata-landed developments, some developers also provide similar facilities within the private compound of detached or semi-detached houses, enhancing the luxurious offering of conventional landed homes.
Besides GCBs as the most prestigious housing option in Singapore, smaller bungalows with land areas ranging from 400 sq m to 1,400 sq m, semi-detached and terrace houses are also popular with landed-home buyers given that they are more affordable.
In addition, maintenance of conventional landed properties is seen to be less challenging compared with GCBs because of their more manageable sizes and there being less restrictions on planning.
Price appreciation
Home buyers have shown stronger interest for landed properties in recent years, in light of the limited supply and the potential for price appreciation. Prices of landed homes have appreciated considerably more than non-landed homes since the trough period in 2009.
Between Q2 2009 and Q4 2012, the Urban Redevelopment Authority's landed property price index rose 85.8 per cent, outpacing a 52 per cent appreciation in its non-landed property price index. Detached houses saw the largest price appreciation of 90.6 per cent, followed by terrace houses with an 87.2 per cent increase and semi-detached houses with 77.1 per cent price gain.
With an average price tag of between $20 and $30 million apiece, GCBs appeal to the most affluent segment of home buyers. Generally, detached houses with sizes ranging from 400 sq m to less than 1,400 sq m, also called "small bungalows", changed hands at around $4 million to $13 million last year. "Entry players" in the landed property segment usually go for terrace houses, which cost less, at between $1.5 million and $3.5 million each. Meanwhile, semi-detached homes are the "sandwiched" option, priced at $2.5 million to $6 million apiece.
Landed-home ownership, which is tantamount to having a stake in the country, is essentially a privilege reserved for Singapore citizens.
Purchases of landed homes on mainland Singapore by foreigners (including Singapore permanent residents) is restricted. Such buyers have to obtain permission from the Land Dealings (Approval) Unit or LDAU. Applicants have to fulfil certain criteria before permission is granted, including being a Singapore PR and making a significant economic contribution to the country.
Sentosa Cove is the only place in Singapore where non-PR foreigners may buy a landed home, though still subject to LDAU's nod. A foreigner (including a PR) may own only one landed home in Singapore (including Sentosa Cove) and this must be used for owner occupation. The land area for the property must not exceed 15,000 sq ft.
Suburban landed homes
As landed properties in prime locations might be out of reach for most home buyers as prices rise, suburban landed homes provide affordable alternatives with good investment potential. With improvements in the transportation network, living in suburban locations would not compromise transport connectivity to town. While prime districts offer a desirable lifestyle and convenience with close proximity to the city centre, landed homes in suburban areas could be a good choice for buyers with lower budgets.
In 2012, the average transacted price of detached, semi-detached and terrace houses in prime districts 9, 10, 11 were about $13.6 million, $5.5 million and $4.3 million respectively - or almost twice the prices of landed properties in the Outside Central Region (OCR) of $6.2 million, $3.5 million and $2.4 million respectively.
In addition, some landed homes in suburban areas could cost less than high-end non-landed properties. The average price quantum for non-landed properties in Districts 9, 10, 11 was about $3 million last year, higher than an average price of $2.4 million for a terrace house in the OCR.
Where are the value deals? In 2012, the most popular suburban destinations for landed homes in terms of transaction volumes were Districts 15 (which includes places like Katong, Joo Chiat and Amber Road), 19 (including Serangoon Garden, Hougang and Punggol) and 28 (which covers the Seletar area). These locations are also among those with the highest concentration of landed houses in Singapore. District 19 accounted for 20 per cent of total landed property transactions in 2012, followed by District 15 (13 per cent) and District 28 (7.4 per cent).
Home buyers looking for value buys can go for Districts 18, 22, and 25. The average prices of landed homes in these areas, including Pasir Ris-Elias, Jurong West and Woodlands, were the lowest among all districts last year. The average price of landed properties in District 18 last year was $808 per square foot (psf) on land area, while for District 22, the figure was $809 psf and District 25, $706 psf.
Although price appreciation of landed houses in these areas varies with the location and property age, investment in landed properties in these suburban districts could offer decent capital returns, in light of the recently released Land Use Plan which outlined plans to develop suburban regions such as the Jurong Lake District and North Coast Innovation Corridor.

Patient safety in primary care – the human element
6 Jun, 14 | by BMJ Quality
A health foundation research scan (2) suggests three key causes of harm in primary care: clinical complexity, systems issues and human factors. Paresh Dawda's Human Reliability in Primary Care blog brought to you by BMJ Quality, focuses on the human factors element.
We hear lots about patient safety, but the voice of primary care is not heard as loudly as that from the acute sector. Primary care is equally prone to patient safety threats and risks. The research is limited, but estimates of patient safety incidents are estimated at between 0.004-240.0 per 1000 primary care consultations with 45%-76% of all "errors" thought to be preventable.(1)
Spend a few minutes and reflect on:
• Interruptions during your consultations
• How alert you feel towards the end of a three hour session compared to the beginning
• How often you find that something you need, e.g. a form, a piece of equipment is not there and you have to go looking for it
• How often do you experience communication related misunderstandings between yourself and others e.g. receptionists, nurses, care home staff, other doctors or patients.
These are just a few everyday common occurrences. Of course, they do not always lead to patient harm but still they have the potential to do so. Clinical human factors are about "enhancing clinical performance through an understanding of the effects of teamwork, tasks, equipment, workspace, culture, organisation on human behaviour and abilities, and application of that knowledge in clinical settings." (3) Put another way, "human factors are all the things that make us different from logical, completely predictable machines. In simple terms they are all those things that enhance or reduce human performance." (3)
The delivery of healthcare relies on us, as humans, interacting in a multitude of ways with the health care system; whether it is operating our clinical computer system, undertaking a procedure, or talking with colleagues or patients. Moreover, it also encompasses the way our patients relate to the system since those same human factors that affect us also affect our patients. Recognising and appreciating this is the first step in enhancing clinical performance. The second step is to understand how, as humans, we interact with other components of the system and carry out tasks. The third is to understand the multiple variables that impact on the quality of that interaction and strategies to reduce that impact. These may be personal factors such as fatigue, illness, irregular work patterns, and reliance on memory, or they may be environmental factors such as distractions (through noise, motion, clutter, heat, lighting), poorly designed procedures, or simply lack of training.
When I was on the faculty of the NHS Institute's (now NHS IQ) safer care faculty, we had a simple mantra: "make it easier to do the right thing, make it harder to do the wrong thing." However, in order to improve human reliability we have to go a step further and appreciate the inevitability of human error. Therefore we also have to put in place mechanisms to spot and stop errors before they become a safety threat.
My first purposeful application of this understanding was in a project implementing the NICE guidelines on assessing febrile children (CG160) (4), and in particular the clinical assessment of febrile children, a key priority for implementation. One of the NICE recommendations is to "measure and record temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and capillary refill time as part of the routine assessment of a child with fever." On the face of it this is a simple recommendation, but to reliably implement it required many human factor related interventions. One simple example is a prompt to measure the four items. We knew from our data that the temperature was beings checked 70% of the time. Therefore, associating the reminder prompt with the task of checking the temperature would potential yield positive results. The task of checking the temperature mostly entails using a tympanic thermometer and then reading the temperature on the LCD screen, so a prompt at this point would achieve the objective. Just as with any other change idea, the model for improvement can then be used to test out the idea and refine it using iterative cycles.
More information on this and other examples from the project are given in the video and in either the NICE shared learning example or the Clinical Human Factors Group's 'How to Guide' ( ), whose website hosts resources on clinical human factors.
The Health Foundation's research scan concluded that "the potential for improving safety in primary care is significant, not least because of the volume of consultations taking place, the complexity of the interactions involved and the uncertainty associated with providing care in the community." Applying clinical human factors is a powerful mechanism to achieve that improvement.
Paresh has worked in UK general practice, is an experienced trainer, and developed, delivered and coached on leadership, quality and patient safety improvement programs for NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement before migrating to Australia in 2012. He is a member of WONCA's working party on quality and safety, leading a chapter on transitions of care for WHO and on the editorial board of the Australasian Medical Journal.

I've written about uniform before; having gone to a school where there was a uniform until the last two years of school at which time we were allowed to wear mufti I think I can reasonably argue the case having experienced both sides.
At the moment, across the UK there are head teachers staring at their budgets, wondering how on earth they are going to make ends meet. There will be cuts and redundancies, and possibly even the decision to run on a deficit in the hope that it will be cleared when the new funding formula kicks in.
In September last year the biggest sociology exam board, AQA, dropped a seminal study into suicide from their curriculum. The 1897 Emile Durkheim is regarded as an important point in sociology being regarded as a science, and also history in general. AQA have stated that their decision to remove this important study was taken in consultation with teachers in order to avoid undue distress to pupils, and to keep lesson content interesting.
The fact that there is a whole legion of supply teachers who are able to eke out a living from plugging gaps in our education system, shows just what state our education system is in. There is anecdotal evidence that supply teachers at the moment are barely going a term-time day without work, and some schools have between 5-10 supply teachers a day!
In the 1960s two distinct effects were discovered; the Pygmalion Effect and the Golem Effect. Both showed that expectations influence attainment. The Golem effect demonstrated that low expectations often meant that subjects achieved less that they were due to, with the Pygmalion effect showing the opposite. The 1960s study picked random students and told their teachers that these students were identified as being full of potential, these students then went on to make significantly more progress than their peers.
There's much in the media these days about how over tested children are, and the fallout from this. In line with this thinking, Lego has released the results from one of its studies which shows that children learn mainly through playing until they are eight years old, which is Year 3 in modern currency, by when British children have already been though one of their many SATs.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has looked at today's school children and remarked on the difference between them and myself at that age. Nowadays children seem so much more knowledgeable about the world, and more grown up than I was – be that a good thing or bad.
Autism, or 'Autistic Psychopathy' as it was known then, was first recognised over 70 years ago. When first 'discovered' it was thought that only males were affected by the condition, even though this thinking has since been revised, even now most people assume that it affects mainly men.
In today's society there is a preoccupation with everyone having the same opportunities, and rightly so. However, we must be careful not to compound the issue when attempting to fix it.
Just as soon as you get your head around the latest advice about young people and their online lives, some new research comes out of the woodwork and changes everything. Recent evidence shows that far from being the worst-thing-ever to happen to children, video games are actually good for kids whilst networking on social media sites is bad.
I think at every stage in your life you look back on the stage preceding your current one and realise with hindsight that you've never had it so good. I wished I was back in Junior School when I was in Seniors, I wished I could do my GCSEs again when I was doing my A-Levels and so on and so forth. When I was at university I definitely wanted to be back at school (not having to cook/clean/pay for anything), however I wonder if children currently in school will look back on their school life with such rose-tinted glasses.
We all know about the perils of social media for young people these days; self-esteem tied to the number of "likes" your selfie got, grooming by adults and cyber-bullying to mention a few. However, as with all things, social media can also be a force for good, and maybe especially so for teachers.
After Jimmy Saville's true colours were uncovered, and the "success" (if one can call it that) of Operation Yewtree, child sexual abuse is at the forefront of our minds. With the discovery of the extensive Rotheram Paedophilia ring as well, the police are now better trained to deal with sex offences, and especially those that involve children. 70,000 child sex abuse cases were reported in 2015, of those 75% were recent, and we know that statistically only one in eight victims are likely to come to the attention of the authorities so we can estimate that the true number, whilst illusive, is probably staggeringly large.
In my previous life I worked in a prep school doing marketing, and one of the biggest marketing points we pushed was the forest school recently introduced. To be honest, not much marketing had to be done because once the parents had visited the school and seen the little faces filled with wonder when exploring a "bug hotel", toasting marshmallows, and climbing trees, they were signing on the dotted line. Outdoor learning is something which has been championed in recent years and really seems to be working; although the proof will be the all-important exam results of the children who have grown up with that being part of the curriculum.
Teachers these days seem to have more and more loaded on their plate at every opportunity; wearing more hats than ever before. Every time a child doesn't achieve their full potential, the fingers seems to be pointed squarely at the education system, rather than the family. Admittedly, 50 or so years ago, most households only had one earner, and the other parent was on hand 24/7 to monitor homework, and make sure children were fed and watered. Nowadays most parents work, and so rely on teachers to pick up some of their slack; but is that really fair?
With the recent election of Theresa May as Prime Minister, there was much excitement about whether or not she would be overturning the policy banning the building of new grammar schools. Policy makers seems to be of the opinion that she will be overturning this legislation, being a grammar school girl herself. However, recent evidence suggests that the introduction of grammar schools may not have a positive effect on the poorest families.
Somehow during my education, I managed to miss the bit where I was taught what a verb, noun, adjective etc. were. I'm not entirely sure how this happened, as English was one of my favourite subjects, but until GCSE year I lived in fear of being picked on to identify one of these in a sentence. I wasn't a stupid child, and I can only imagine that in my three school changes in two years, combined with a fairly debilitating illness meant that this information wasn't imparted,or maybe just not retained. However, in my GCSE year, I finally 'fessed up to my best friend who showed me the way.
With the cabinet reshuffle, and the appointment of a new Secretary of State for Education, it was always going to be the case that previous policy targets would not be met. However, the news that the new system for funding schools (due to be implemented in 2017-2018) is now going to be delayed by a year, has been met with dismay.
King College London have recently announced that they have come up with a revolutionary new DNA test which can predict how well children will do in their education. This is based on a 'polygenic score' which is worked out from the presence or absence of over 20,000 common DNA variants. All together these DNA variants account for roughly 10% of children's academic achievement by the age of 16. Whilst 10% may not seem like a lot, when one considers that the difference in natural ability in Maths between boys and girls is explained by 1% of DNA, one can understand how great the implications of this score can be. Researchers have suggested that these findings could be used to give an insight into whether a child could develop learning difficulties later on in life. This would allow teachers and specialists to advise parents on additional support that may be required throughout their child's learning journey, so that the child has the best possible education.
The teacher recruitment and retention crisis is well publicised at the moment to summarise: more teachers are leaving than are joining, those who are joining aren't staying, and the quality standard is not always closely monitored. The most recent statistic is that 10% of state school teachers left the education system last year, and another 40% have said that they plan on following suit within the next 5 years.
The (admittedly now reshuffled) education department recently stated that they intend to implement the "Shanghai Model" of teaching into British schools. This decision has been met, on the whole, with complaints and derision.
At the moment, the education sector is in the midst of a sea of crises, chief amongst which appears to be the recruitment and retention of teachers. Put simply: we are losing more teachers than we are training.
An official forecast has just been released which estimates that an extra 750,000 school places will be needed by 2025. This has mainly been driven by the UK's rising birth rate, probably due to a higher percentage than historically, of non-UK mothers living here who tend to have bigger families. However, this forecast was calculated without taking into account the potential effect of Brexit, and before any solid plan has been made as to immigration post-Brexit.
With more and more households having both parents work, and therefore less able to spend time with their children poring over homework planners in the evening, schools are concerned that this lack of parental engagement could be contributing to increasing levels of truancy, missed homework and declining test results. There have been many experiments trying to combat this, including asking parents to come in for their own lessons on the "three r's" (parental absence rates were high).
Obviously, teachers do not chose their profession with dreams of making the big bucks; if you ask them (especially those who are freshly minted) they will tell you of noble ambitions, and selfless goals. That being said, they do want to be able to live, and enjoy life in a reasonable manner.
Introduced by the Labour government, the academy system has been much discussed; does it actually help, or is it just shifting the problem onto someone else's plate? A recent report has suggested that the academy system is a bit of a mixed bag – it works well (really well in some cases) for the best and worst schools, but for those middling schools who decide to convert it may actually make things a tiny bit worse.
As the summer holidays approach, and the holiday prices rise (extortionately in some cases), the subject of term time holidays is brought up again. Following Jon Platt's victory against his local council for refusing to pay the fine awarded due to his taking his daughter out of school during term time, a number of councils have dropped their cases. Mr Platt was told that as his daughter's attendance record was otherwise satisfactory he had no case to answer, although it is worth noting that his local council have since been told that they may reapply should they wish.
Like most younger siblings, my little brother always wanted to be like me; unfortunately, I'm a bit of a bookworm who has managed to coast through life being somewhat intellectually lazy. My brother on the other hand, has strengths that lay elsewhere – he hated reading (still does) but whilst I came up with cunning skiving techniques to get out of the horror of double hockey on a Monday afternoon, he flourished as captain of the hockey AND rugby team. I like to stay in five star hotels, with fluffy towels, his idea of a good time is a sleeping bag with a tarpaulin stretched overhead. I would argue that you couldn't find too more different siblings, yet we grew up (fairly) well-adjusted adults because our parents recognised our individual strengths and weaknesses and nurtured them. As the saying goes "everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb trees, it will live its whole life believing it is an idiot".
At the age of 10 I was moved from my co-ed boarding school, to an all-girls one. There were many reasons for this, but I suspect that there were concerns about the effect that teenage hormones could potentially have on my skirt length. Ironically, had I stayed at the co-ed school I would have been made to wear a baggy jumper and ankle-length skirt until I was 18 years old, whereas at my all girls' school the rules were considerably laxer. There were no boys around to impress, indeed we were the other side of town to the boys' school and the two co-ed ones, yet still we "accidentally" shrunk our jumpers, bought shirts 4 sizes too small, and rolled our skirts up several inches. Why? Everyone else did, and it was a way to show that we were a la mode.
It doesn't seem like that long ago I was at school (7 years), and yet now my peers are the teachers and not the pupils, and they talk of problems at school that didn't exist when I was there. Nowadays, the bullying doesn't stop when you leave school, children compare themselves against an unrealistic and over-filtered ideal wondering why their immature bodies don't look like that, and there are pressures to grow up and become sexualised at an age where I was still under the impression boys were "yucky".
The education system is in disarray, if the press is anything to go by, and so those in command are looking for increasingly left-field solutions to the crisis facing them. The Learnometer Project was set up in response to this and to examine the physical conditions of classrooms (CO2 levels, temperature, light etc.) and see what effect they had on the children in them.
At a meet up with some friends this weekend, the talk inevitably turned to work. We're a varied group; army officer, accountant, scientist, plumber etc. but it was the teacher whose work was of most interest to the table. She told us of how much pressure both teachers and students were under to achieve good exam results, despite her school proclaiming that they're "not an exam factory".
Another month, more budget cuts, and yet another strike. This time, teachers: the NUT had a 91.7% in favour vote for a strike on 5th July, and have threatened further action later on in the summer. Understandably parents and the department of education are up in arms about the disruption this will cause. Lots of people are unimpressed with the double standards this situation creates; parents are fined if they take their children out of school in order to be able to afford a summer holiday as it will disrupt their education, but the very people who are meant to be enforcing this are now themselves disrupting education.
The build-up is over, the public has decided and whether or not we were on the winning side, we all have to pick ourselves up and move forward with the decision. Many government-funded institutions are already wondering what this means for their future; not least the healthcare and education sectors.
Governments have always been known for tinkering with education so that it fits with their political aims and ideology, in the hope that this will lead to the best performing schools the country has ever seen. However, are schools' performance affected by this change from above, or is it rather the "boots on the ground" leadership that determines whether or not a school is truly high-performing?

'What you are going to do, do quickly.'
Mighty Reader and I spent four days on the coast, where it was sunny and not sunny but there was a big damn ocean and no office jobs. We returned to the city on Sunday, neither riding on an ass nor weeping. The photo above shows the scanty breakfast we ate aboard the ferry that took us across Puget Sound to the Olympic peninsula, from where we drove drove drove south to the central Oregon coast. What you don't see through the window is the open water of the Sound. Did we buy more books while on vacation? Yes, we did.
Wait: now I remember what this post was supposed to be about. Last week I had what I think is a great idea for the novel Go Home, Miss America, which novel I thought I'd finished revising. But the idea refuses to go away so I am compelled to attempt to revise the manuscript, and find out if the idea is actually a good one. So that's what I'll be doing for a while, revising Go Home, Miss America, mostly the chapters about the David Molloy character. I'd planned to work on a different book entirely. But I think the revisions will make GHMA a better book, a richer and funnier book. What is this idea? What are these revisions? Maybe someday I'll talk about that, but only if someone actually publishes the novel. Otherwise, who cares, right? Why am I even typing all of this? Don't ask me, man.

The Fatal Flaw
It is a constant theme: Anglicanism is intrinsically flawed by its comprehensiveness and doctrinal relativism because of the lack of a teaching authority (magisterium). It is one argument that convinces Anglicans who are new to it to become Roman Catholics. … Continue reading

We missed doing 18 month pictures for little A, but this was soon after. She wasn't so sure about it, but once she got her favorite baby doll she was happy as can be.

Astral Trader
Astral Trader is a turn based space trading game in the style of old school BBS door games. You are given a number of daily action points (AP) in which to make your turn. Your AP is determined by your ship configuartion and damage you have take. AP costs for movement is dsiplayed on the map screens. It also costs 1 AP to port at a station, info screen is free but not as deatiled. The game does allow combat, however combat is not the focus of the game and is designed to be expensive and equally deadly to all in involved.
What is interesting about this Space Trading game is that the markets are dynamic in that the price and production fluctuates. Also many items have an actual in game use. Parts are needed to repair your ship, fuel is needed to jump, and for a shipyard to even create upgrade to buy they must be supplied with raw materials.

Silvia that appears in Pop'n Music 9, her song is titled "Mori no kodou" by N.A.R.D. The theme is Pastoral.
Silvia is a very shy forest fairy. So shy in fact that she tends to vanish the moment she hears someone approach. She enjoys the quiet and peaceful nature surrounding her.
Songs ListEdit
- PM9: Mori no kodou
Silvia is a pale skinned woman whose age is unknown, as she is a fairy. She has sandy-blonde, long length hair neatly framing her face and worn with a simple white flower crown. Her eyes are dark green-teal colored and she has small wings with markings of blue and green. She wears a plain white flowing dress.
