The upmarket La Lucia Mall almost never leaves visitors wanting. This shopping mall features luxurious restaurants, pubs, cinemas, and even a convenient gym.
The pristine and tranquil beaches of La Lucia, boasting warm water and grassy sand dunes, also have quaint beach cabins. Activities such as swimming, snorkelling, surfing and diving are ideal due to the warm temperature range of the Indian Ocean. Warm white sand, colourful tropical fish and exotic coral reefs are features that add to the equatorial, relaxing appeal that the area has.
A few minutes' drive to Umhlanga will get you to lively entertainment centres such as the Gateway Theatre of Shopping which is the home of the Wave House Fun Park. Just 8 kilometres from La Lucia is also the popular Sibaya Casino and under 6 kilometres away you'll find the hundreds of year's old indigenous woodland, Hawaan Forest.
La Lucia gained its name from the founder of the sugar cane farm it developed on, namely La Lucia Farm. La Lucia farm was founded by Lucia Michel and her husband Albert Michel.

The increasing use of retrospective action in the tax system could undermine the fundamental principle of certainty, warned the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) this week.
The institute raised concerns following an announcement by the Treasury's financial secretary Stephen Timms this week week, amending the tax rules relating to manufactured dividends which will be applied to the period dating from 1 October 2007.
"The use of retrospective legislation always concerns us greatly; we think it damages the key principle of certainty in the tax system that is so important to its reputation and is inherently unfair", said John Whiting, tax policy director at CIOT.
"We can understand that at times the government wants to take action to 'confirm the general understanding...

Mathews Mar Athenasius Episcopa was the first missionary bishop of the Mar Thoma Church. As a diocesan Episcopa he did remarkable pioneering work in organizing parishes and new mission fields. His evangelical ardour and concern for the unreached area, made him forge ahead expansion programmes and colonization schemes besides establishing of several institutions.[1]
He was noted for his deep personal dedication to Jesus Christ and his zeal for the spread of the Gospel, continuity in the Evangelical tradition of the Mar Thoma Church. He was full of energy and sacrificial spirit.
Early days.
Mathews Mar Athenasius Episcopa was born on June 7, 1900 at Ayroor, in Kerala. He was the son of Thomas Kurudamannil,Ayroor. His mother was Aleyamma, sister of Titus II Mar Thoma Metropolitan, Palakunnathu, Maramon. Parents called him Mathaichen.
Primary education was at Ayroor, Kozhencherry and at Kottayam. For higher studies he joined Kolkata (Calcutta) Bishops College high school and Saint Paul's College. In 1925 he was able to obtain a BA degree and in 1929 a BEd degree. In 1934, he proceeded to join Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto, Canada.
Keezhillam school.
At the age of 21 he left home to go to the North Travancore which was an underdeveloped area. It had been selected as a mission field of the Evangelistic Association. In 1929 he and fellow workers started a school at Keezhillam as a means to reach out and help the people living in that area, with a group of fellow workers, having only their faith in God as their resource. They worked hard and opened the way for education for hundreds of children in poor families. In those days education wasn't free and many of the people couldn't afford schooling. By giving concessions in fees to such students, they were encouraged to study and the money for their education was taken from the meagre salary of the teachers who were gracious enough to accept it as a way of serving the Lord. Gradually education began to spread in those areas and people began to see the truth of the Gospel in the lives of their teachers. Many from that area like Rev K.C Paily (He ,Dr.T. John and Rev P.C Cherian worked together to make the school to be one of the top schools in Kerala ), Very Rev. A A Pylee, who was one of the Vicars General of the Church stands testimony to this fact. The school at Keezhillam developed to be a High School in 1947 with a well- managed boarding home. Rev K.C Paily was the boarding master for a long time and Rev. P.C. Cherian became the Head Master
Perumbavoor School.
Rev. C T Mathew (Mar Athanasius) moved to Perumbavoor seeing the need of that area. He was supported by a small group of friends including Rev.C.I.Abraham and Mr.A. Cherian (who later became a judge). A High School was opened and classes began on June 1, 1931. Here teachers worked on fellowship basis, on the pattern of the Union Christian College, Aluva and of Madras Christian College, Chennai. A group of dedicated teachers under the leadership of Rev. C T Mathew, the headmaster, became the nucleus of an Ashram. The school was known as the Ashram High School. The teachers shared everything in common and lived a life of fellowship as the first century Christians, devoting all their time to the welfare of the students. The boarding home and the school became highly reputed across the state.
Soon after opening the school at Keezhillam, he was ordained as a Semmasan (deacon) by Abraham Mar Thoma in 1929. While at Perumbavoor, in 1933 he was made a Kassessa. (priest). Then while he was studying at Wycliffe College, Rev.C.T.Mathew was selected by the Prathinidhi Mandalam (Church Parliament) to be an episcopa of the church.
Rev.C.T.Mathew along with Rev.C.M.John were consecrated as Episcpas on December 30, 1937 at Tiruvalla, by Titus II Mar Thoma Metropolitan assisted by Abraham Mar Thoma Suffragan Metropolitan and Kuriakose Mar Koorilose of Malabar Independent Syrian Church. Rev. C.T.Mathew was given the episcopal title Mathews Mar Athenasius and Rev.C.M.John, Juhanon Mar Timotheous (later Juhanon Mar Thomaand Metropolitan.)
As an episcopa.
North Kerala area.
His deep devotion and sacrificial life and the spirit of fellowship were the special characteristics of his service as Bishop. This spirit of adventure and trust in God made him a master builder of the Church. Wherever he saw the need, he ventured into action even when no resources were in sight. Undeveloped areas in Malabar became his concern as the Diocesan Bishop. He went to un-accessed areas and helped small congregation of people who had migrated from Central Travancore, seeking opportunity to make a living. They were helped to settle down and developed as on small communities in a spirit of co-operation. Nilambur and Chungathara and other places up to Gudalloor were all reached by him and the small congregations were encouraged and supported in various ways.
Travancore area.
Later when he was in charge of the diocese in Central Travancore, he concentrated his efforts in developing the congregations among the new settlers in Chittar, Seethathodu, Angamoozhy and other places which were very difficult to reach in those days.
Outside Kerala.
When the Evangelistic work of the Church expanded he was the first Missionary Bishop of the Church, travelling all over India, visiting the scattered congregations and encouraging the Ashrams. He was present in many international Evangelistic conferences in Tokyo and other places. He was the first Bishop of the Mar Thoma Church to visit our congregations in Malaysia and Singapore.
Other developments.
He opened dispensaries and clinics and schools while also caring for their spiritual needs. The Olivet Aramana at Chengannur, the Retreat Centre at Maramon and the Kalalayam at Ayroor came into being as a result of his enterprising spirit. It was owing to his farsight that the Charal Mount which has since become a favourite camp sight was bought and made available for the church.
Last days.
Even though suffering from diabetes for many years, nothing could stop him from all out endeavour in the cause of the spread of the Gospel. After a short period, he succumbed to his illness and was called to his heavenly reward on November 30, 1973 at the age of 73.He was that the in the Bishops' cemetery in the SCS Compound, Tiruvalla.

The program
Following the great success of the International English Programs, The University of Toronto now invites high school students to participate in its first-ever International Summer Theatre Program. Designed to help aspiring young artists explore their potential in the expressive arts, this intensive arts immersion program offers students the exciting opportunity to work with some of Canada's finest creative talents and to enhance their understanding of the global arts landscape through direct exposure to Toronto's rich, multicultural, and thriving arts scene.
Students will experience daily professional-level workshops in the dramatic arts, where they will be challenged to develop their own unique artistic voices and cultivate self-discipline as they learn how to work cooperatively with others to achieve team goals. The program's small class sizes will ensure that students are given the chance to work closely with workshop instructors to receive personalized attention and get feedback on individual creative projects.
Outside daytime classes, students will be encouraged to take part in the city's diverse, world-class cultural activities. Extracurricular group outings to professional theatre productions and concerts will be regularly organized for students and are a crucial feature of the program.
Beyond learning key concepts in the performing arts, students will learn invaluable social, leadership, and communication skills. The program includes daily two-hour English language classes with outstanding instructors. Being immersed in an English environment where students can continually practice their language skills will facilitate students' linguistic abilities while helping them to build confidence.
Furthermore, the program will introduce youth to what is involved in becoming a student at The University of Toronto, one of North America's most prestigious academic institutions. From living on campus in the beautiful dormitories at University College to experiencing the school's reputably high standards in coursework, students will gain first-hand experience of life at The University of Toronto while making like-minded friends from other countries.

Reviews of Mayfair Manor

I am a friend or relative of a resident
We love Mayfair Manor because the nurses are wonderful, the staff is really accommodating and on top of things, and it's clean. My mother-in-law likes it. There were a couple of times where I needed to ask questions, and they were helpful right away.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
My mom is at Mayfair Manor. They really try hard to take care of and do the best they can for my mom. They try to keep the place clean. I've seen several meals in the dining area which all seemed to have four or five different items including water and, normally, a soft drink for my mom. The food looks good and the dining room is clean. They have a variety of activities for the residents; in fact, they have calendars of activities hung throughout the building.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
My uncle was a resident of Mayfair Manor. I chose this place because of it smells clean and the high ratio of workers to patients. The walls have accents and the lighting was good in the place when you walk through. The staff were very good and seemed knowledgeable. There were a few trainees, but they are certainly knowledgeable.

I am a past client of this provider
Mayfair Manor is understaffed because they don't want to hire any body and they pay minimum wage. So there just wasn't enough attention given to the patient. They weren't doing what they should have been doing. As a matter of fact, my husband got bedsores over there.

10 Cool Things We Saw at the 2014 Modern Phoenix Home Tour of Arcadia
One standout stop along the tour was in the Ingleside Inn neighborhood.
Becky Bartkowski
Modern Phoenix's 2014 home tour found Midcentury Modern fans trekking through greater Arcadia on Sunday, April 6, to take a peek into homes with vintage (and curb) appeal.
With 16 residential stops and a nice sampling of Arizona's most notable architects, including Paolo Soleri, Al Beadle, and Ralph Haver, the sold-out event featured homes and condos that ranged from full-on remodels to well preserved gems. Here are the 10 coolest things -- from cement blocks to a cantilever porch -- that Jackalope Ranch spotted during the must-attend event.

10. This Lance Enyart design was the sole stop in the Ingleside Inn neighborhood, and this Scottsdale-adjacent 1962 ranch near 60th Street and Thomas Road featured subtle modern updates, walnut floors, and a few pops of orange on the exterior.
Arcadia Green was designed by Pierson Miller and Ware.
Becky Bartkowski
9. While it was difficult to get a feel for the interiors of Arcadia Green's 1967 patio homes, located north of Thomas Road off 48th Street, (many looked like they've been renovated throughout the years without an eye toward the original Spanish Midcentury Modern style), the clubhouse was home to light fixtures that made us smile. Shaped like strawberries dangling from the ceiling, these bright red lights complemented minty green beams.

It could have been much much worse to be honest, you should be thankful you weren't drunk enough for it to go further than a kiss, otherwise things would have been properly awkward between you.11|00|0

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
At this time of year, compensation professionals are usually finishing up their annual sales incentive design process. They're feeling good about the results, and positive that the amount of time, input, and effort that went into the new incentive plan design will pay off.

 Executives will like it; the sales force will love it. "Our work is done," they're probably thinking.

 But not so fast. One of the most important aspects of developing a sales incentive plan is how it is communicated to the field. Remember, the field is not aware of what has gone into the process. Salespeople haven't sat through the design sessions dissecting the data, pouring over interviews and designing the "perfect plan."

 In short, they are skeptical out of the gate. And without a thoughtful communication plan that involves sales managers, your shiny new incentive plan may not be as effective as you'd hoped.

 Effective communication of a new incentive plan begins with disseminating the plan and quotas early in the new year. According to the recently released 2009 Incentive Practices Research (IPR) study conducted by ZS Associates, most firms distribute their sales incentive plans to the field within the first two weeks of the year.

 But not all companies are as diligent, as some don't roll out their plan until the second or third month of the year—some firms even wait six months. At such companies, salespeople don't know the parameters of their pay, and therefore don't know where they should focus.

 Many slow their pace until they know exactly how they are paid and their exact sales quota, resulting in confusion, lower productivity, and distrust of management.

 The IPR study suggests quotas should be out to the field between two and four weeks after the start of the year, or just slightly later than the sales incentive plans are communicated. Ideally, quotas would go to the field at the same time the sales incentive plans are distributed (within two weeks).

 But many firms wait until they have all of the previous year's data, they have finalized sales forecasts, and their managers have had time to review and refine the initial quotas before they are rolled out to the field. This takes time, and the desire to have as much recent data as possible in the process can prevent the quotas from being distributed at the same time as the incentive plan.

 Another IPR survey finding is that companies use an average of three methods to communicate the sales incentive plan to their salespeople. These methods include national sales meetings, regional sales meetings, one-on-one meetings between salespeople and managers, Web meetings, e-mails to the field announcing the plan, and Intranet announcements of the plan including all of the supporting documentation.

 It is critical to repeatedly reinforce the plan's objectives, how the plan works, and how salespeople are paid—a single communication is not enough. The plan needs to be communicated early and often, with follow-up calls shortly after the first incentive payment to answer any questions from the field. It's always easier to listen and understand the plan once it has affected their pocketbook.

 Another IPR question revolved around the most effective way to communicate the plans. The results are not surprising: The most effective methods are personalized methods like one-on-one meetings, regional meetings, and Internet conferences.

 While knowing the overall details of the incentive plan are important, salespeople are always asking themselves these questions: "How does it affect me?" "If I hit my quota, how will I be paid?" "If I perform exactly as I did last year, how much more or less will I be paid under the new plan?" "How does any change in quota-setting methodology affect my quota—and therefore, my pay?"

 Carefully modeling each salesperson's payout and providing them with a detailed report can help smooth out the transition to the new plan. The report lets them know how they need to perform under the new plan to earn the income they want. Among the elements included in such reports:

 • What will be the payout next year if the performance is the same as the previous year?

 • How well must they perform to earn $X?

 • What performance level must they achieve to earn the same as last year?

 No matter what, sales representatives will be asking these questions…so you are far better off answering them before they ask.

 If your company is like most organizations, it has already decided much of its 2010 sales plan—the metrics, payout curves, and other pertinent factors. But without effectively communicating the plan to the field, they won't be able to put the plan into effect.

 You can ensure plans are understood and internalized by communicating them via multiple, effective methods, and by personalizing the information to each individual. Without effective communication, the new plan will not take hold and have its desired impact.

 But effective communication will lead to clarity of vision between salespeople and sales management, with everyone driving toward a common set of results.

Report summaryFor the second consecutive winter, volatile crude prices wreaked havoc on the Canadian upstream sector as transportation constraints impacted Canadian and North Dakota barrels travelling to southern demand centres. At times, Western Canadian Select (WCS) traded at as much as US$40/bbl below WTI. Following a similar price blowout in early-2012, we predicted that volatile Canadian prices were here to stay. The differential has since narrowed to US$25/bbl, as temporary pipeline issues have,

Correction Appended
The Microsoft Corporation has a blunt message for the rest of the computer industry: The world's largest software publisher plans to continue expanding its empire to embrace ever-larger parts of the corporate computing and consumer electronics markets.
That message, spelled out on Wednesday and again today by Microsoft executives as part of an annual two-day financial and technical briefing for reporters and analysts, comes as the software giant is mounting its most aggressive campaign yet to move beyond desktop PC's by aiming software at the business-network market and the world of digital television.
Microsoft said today that it had shipped more than one million copies of its business-network Windows NT operating system in the last year and that a new version of the program with additional features would become available for public testing in September.
The software company, based in Redmond, Wash., has long drawn the ire of other software developers and periodically the attention of the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department by continuing to add features and functions to its software operating systems that subsumed individual programs previously sold by Microsoft's rivals.
Now it is accelerating that strategy as it prepares to enter markets that have traditionally been the province of large computer systems vendors such as I.B.M. and the Digital Equipment Corporation.Continue reading the main story
For example, the company demonstrated a feature of the coming version of its network software, Windows NT Server 5.0, that will be called the Active Directory. Currently, directory software for offices networks -- which enable users to easily find one another, communicate and share documents -- is an important part of the products offered by the Novell Corporation and the Netscape Communications Corporation.
''Our strategy is simple,'' said James Allchin, a Microsoft senior vice president. ''It's integration.''
Integration will also be the tactic by which Microsoft hopes to expand into the consumer electronics market. The next version of its market-dominating PC operating system, Windows 98, planned for next year, will be designed to let home computers function as interactive televisions.
That is but one means by which Microsoft hopes to become the standard-setter, and software seller, for the computerized TV set-top boxes that are expected eventually to replace current cable tuners in the predicted convergence of computing and cable television. Already, Microsoft has introduced a consumer-electronics version of Windows, called Windows CE, that is making its way into hand-held computers, and is expected to be the basis of the company's set-top TV software.
Other recent Microsoft efforts to set the digital television agenda include the acquisition of Web TV Networks, which offers Internet service through TV sets, and the $1 billion investment in the Comcast Corporation, the nation's fourth-largest cable television operator.
''Interactive television for Microsoft is all about the home market where there are 110 million households,'' said David Readerman, an analyst at Montgomery Securities. ''They need to find new markets to grow in.''
Indeed, as aggressive as Microsoft's outreach may seem, in many ways the company is becoming increasingly defensive. Sales of Windows 95 have begun to flag, and its current big product, the Office 97 suite of productivity programs, also slowed more quickly than expected. And for all its potential, Windows NT is still not widely considered a full-fledged competitor for the market-leading Netware network software from Novell.
Meanwhile, many of the company's hardware and software competitors are banding together to promote the so-called network computer as an inexpensive non-Microsoft replacement for the standard PC.
''If the network computers catch fire at all, they have the possibility of really retarding growth of personal computers, and that's really scary for us,'' said Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's executive vice president.
Mr. Ballmer was among the top executives who warned analysts here that Microsoft's earnings growth would continue to slow as the company stepped up its investments in sales and marketing and research and development.
And Greg Maffei, Microsoft's newly appointed chief financial officer, warned: ''None of us think that Windows 98 will have the financial impact of Windows 95. As a result we will have slower revenue growth.''
The company also said that its stock value had reached a dangerously high level that might be difficult to maintain. At its closing price of $138 yesterday, Microsoft's shares have a stratospheric price-to-earnings ratio of 52.37.
''The challenge is how does Microsoft sustain a $180 million market capitalization in the face of some of these slowing markets,'' Mr. Readerman, the analyst, said.
Another challenge for Microsoft here was making its newest technology work on command. On Wednesday, the company's technical demonstrations were marked by a larger than usual number of glitches and bugs, to the occasional amusement of executives and audience alike.
At one point, for example, as a Microsoft executive tried to demonstrate the integration of the personal computer and the television, the futuristic, shoot-'em-up game he was showing simply froze on the screen.
''I guess we're basically stuck in outer space,'' he said.
Correction: July 26, 1997, Saturday An article in Business Day yesterday about a new strategy by the Microsoft Corporation rendered the company's stock market value incorrectly in a quotation from David Readerman, an analyst with Montgomery Securities, who was commenting on Microsoft's growth prospects. The value was $180 billion, not $180 million.Continue reading the main story

Whatever works: uncertainty and technological hybrids in medical innovation
The persistent uncertainty that looms over the search for solutions to health problems offers important conceptual insights for the study of technological change. This paper explores the notion of hybridization, namely the embodiment of multiple competing operational principles within a single medical device, as strategy to deal with the practical shortcomings due to said uncertainty. The history of the development of the hybrid artificial disk affords the elaboration of an alternative view of hybridization and, at the same time, the articulation of a dualism between medical science as area of basic research (e.g. what disease is) and as practical knowledge (e.g. how disease can be tackled).

The end of last year saw
While the Australian Securities and Investments Commission has no comment on the specific matter, broadly the case highlights ASIC's truth-in-takeovers policy and our commitment to market integrity.
An important application of the truth-in-takeovers policy is in relation to "last and final statements". These are statements by a bidder, target or substantial holder that it will or will not do something in the course of the bid. They are designed to influence the actions of target shareholders. For example, in order to push target shareholders into accepting a bid, a bidder may say it will not increase its price under the bid, its offer is final.
A company departs from a last and final statement if its conduct – action or statement – is inconsistent with what it has said. For example, a bidder departs from a no-increase statement if it ups the price it is offering for the target securities.
ASIC's position is clear: we expect companies to honour a last and final statement. The statement is made voluntarily. The company should assume the risk for its statement.
ASIC's truth-in-takeovers policy says: "Market participants that make a last and final statement should be held to it, as with a promise". Where a bidder makes a clear last and final statement in the course of a bid we believe investors in a target company are entitled to expect the bidder will act consistently with their statement.
Anything else harms market integrity, and for ASIC this is not acceptable. The level and quality of disclosure go to the heart of ASIC's priority of fair and efficient financial markets. Compliance with disclosure in these circumstances is essential, not only for investors who may have made investment decisions in reliance to that disclosure, but for the broader capital markets.
Bidders and targets can reserve the right to change their minds, but they must say so upfront to ensure investors are not misled. This can be via a clear and unambiguous qualification, but whatever language used, a bidder must convey the message that it can still change its mind. For example, a bidder may say: "We do not presently intend to increase our bid price, although we reserve the right to do so". In these circumstances, if the bidder's stated intentions change then it should update the market as soon as possible to give investors what they need to assess the deal.
ASIC considers the truth-in-takeovers principles apply not just to statements about the offer price, but to other statements that can influence the decisions investors make. It applies to the terms of the offer as a whole, including terms which can affect the value of the offer in the hands of the shareholder. The principles can also apply to statements made by other key players in a transaction, such as the target board or major shareholders.
Departing from the policy, without qualification, may be misleading and deceptive, and ASIC or others may take action, including by seeking action by the Takeovers Panel.
Another ASIC priority is confident and informed investors. We seek to ensure that those in the market making investment decisions, including target shareholders deciding whether or not to accept a bid for their securities, do so in a confident and informed manner.
For ASIC this not only means that the disclosure in the market about a bid is clear, including last and final statements, but also that gatekeepers are properly discharging their function. The relevant gatekeepers in this context are the directors, who need to understand and apply ASIC's truth-in-takeovers policy so they assist investors to make well-informed decisions.
If no one believes key "last and final" statements made to get investors to act in the course of takeovers, then market confidence will be eroded. Confusion will be the result.
Remember, in any takeover, ASIC has to balance the potential benefits that particular shareholders may have against potential detriment to the market, which can be played out over a long time.

The hallmark of Racine's 4th of July parade are the famous military floats sponsored by the American Legion and Vietnam Veterans of America.
If at no other time - Racine takes a moment to honor and thank the veterans who have sacrificed so much for our county.
This is why it was a little weird that the Journal Times chose today - the day before the 4th of July to weigh in on the outcome of the court case against Mark Dement who forged seven names on a recall petition last year.
Dement faced a fine and a possible maximum of 3 years in prison for his behavior. The judge, imposed a $2,500 fine and no jail time - which the JT found to be lame according to today's editorial:
"Some time behind bars would have sent a message to Demet and the community that election fraud is taken seriously. Also, spending Independence Day behind bars would have been a good reminder of the value of our country's democracy and what happens if you try to mess with it."Mark Dement committed a crime, there is no doubt. Mark Dement is also a veteran on disability. A disabled vet who let his emotions get out of control causing him to sign seven names on a petition.
For that, the Journal Times thinks he should be in jail - over the 4th of July weekend. They are bastards - one and all.
The Siren doesn't know Mark Dement and we don't know exactly what prompted him to become so carried away that he thought it was a good idea to sign his family's and some of his neighbor's names to a recall petition sheet. We do know that a lot of veterans are out in society grappling with big issues, few jobs and long waits for services.
Perhaps on the 4th of July - especially on the 4th of July - the Journal Times might want to reflect a little harder on what the holiday means and shut their fucking mouths.

My name's Alex, owner of www.ipbskinning.com. I've been creating forum skins for IPB for around three years and am considering expanding to xenforo.
My question, is there much of a market for skinning here yet compared to Invision Power Board? If any other seasoned skinners could provide an insight into what skinning for xenforo is like compared to IPB that would be much appreciated.
Thanks all!

Since 2014, CDSM have been responsible for providing Welsh teachers with a national digital content repository: Hwb. A key feature in Hwb is 'Playlists', our answer to the current demand for quick, easy-to-use content creation tools for teachers. Although the Internet provides teachers with a wealth of sources to choose from, having a bank of resources at their fingertips that are curriculum-relevant and rights-cleared is of benefit. That's exactly why CDSM teamed up with Britannica Digital Learning.
Britannica Digital Learning's award-winning resources are designed for all ages and abilities. Written by Nobel laureates and other renowned authors, they are reviewed and updated regularly by the world's leading editorial experts. The resources support curriculum objectives in core subject areas, providing curated articles from encyclopaedias, journals and magazines; primary sources, images and videos; interactive lessons, activities and games; and many other high-quality research tools for learners. The differentiated reading levels help deliver personalised and self-directed learning.
Britannica® ImageQuest™ gives our Hwb users access to millions of rights-cleared images from over 50 of the best collections around the globe, including images from the National Geographic Society, the British Library and the National Trust. Teachers can safely search through the best and broadest collection of educational images, saving them time when creating their own digital resources.
Playlists not only enables teachers to aggregate resources from the Internet, Britannica Digital Learning and other resources within Hwb, but customise it too. This gives teachers an opportunity to contextualise content, making it relevant to their learners and what they are doing in the classroom. Introducing a video or explaining the significance of an image, poem or scientific experiment gives learners the support they need. Fun and engaging activities and assessments can be added to their Playlists, which can then be shared or assigned, and finally assessed within Hwb.
With our easy-to-use Playlists tool, teachers in Wales are creating first-class materials for a variety of purposes, including classroom-based activities, homework and revision. What's more, they are letting us know about it on Twitter:
But Playlists and Britannica Digital Learning are not just tools for teachers. Learners have access to them too, giving them control over their learning.

text: WASHINGTON (AP) a¿¿ The Federal Reserve on Thursday proposed that big banks keep enough cash, government bonds and other high-quality assets on hand to survive during a severe downturn on par with the 2008 financial crisis.The proposal subjects U.S. banks for the first time to so-called "liquidity" requirements, referring to the ability to access cash quickly. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said it would foster a more resilient and safer financial system, along with other reforms. ___ US unemployment aid applications drop to 350,000 WASHINGTON (AP) a¿¿ The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits dropped 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 350,000 last week, though the total was elevated for the third straight week by technical problems in California. The Labor Department said Thursday that the less volatile four-week average jumped by nearly 11,000 to 348,250. Weekly applications have been inflated for the past three weeks, largely because California has been processing a huge number of applications that were delayed because of a computer upgrade. The 16-day partial government shutdown has also lifted claims this month because a number of government contractors were laid off temporarily. A government spokesman said the backlog in California affected last week's figures but noted shutdown's impact appears to be fading. ___ Average US rate on 30-year mortgage at 4.13 pct. WASHINGTON (AP) a¿¿ Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages dropped this week to their lowest levels in four months, a positive sign for the housing recovery. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate on the 30-year loan fell to 4.13 percent. That's down from 4.28 percent. The average on the 15-year fixed loan declined to 3.24 percent from 3.33 percent. Both averages are the lowest since June 20. Mortgage rates have been falling since September, when the Federal Reserve held off slowing its $85-billion-a-month in bond purchases. The bond buys are intended to keep longer-term interest rates low, including mortgage rates. And a slowdown in hiring in September makes it more likely that the Fed will continue its stimulus into next year.

Witches Wealth slot - Free Play - Game Review
Witches Wealth video slot is another highly rewarding game from Microgaming. It has a simple layout of 5 reels and 9 lines. You can get generous rewards in many ways from features like wild symbols, line payouts, scatters and bonus rounds with double and triple wins.
This game will take you into the rewarding and mysterious world of the witches. You will get to traverse the world with a witch to claim your share of the wealth. The game has an exciting, yet dark environment, and a background with sound effects.
All the reel symbols are inspired by its magical theme. They include a black cat, dark witch, spell book, owl, mysterious signs and symbols, golden chalice, potions, bat, magical sand and various others.
You can claim a win line payout if you get at least three identical symbols on any activated line. The highest line payout will be given when 5x Serena Witch symbols show up to give 6,000 coins.
To start playing, you would choose the lines to activate, the number of coins to put on each as well as coin value to place your bets. The wagering range varies between £0.01 and 180 credits for each spin. These amounts can appeal to both low and high rollers.
The Witch Serena is the wild symbol. She will utilise her dark magic skills to help you create a payable combination of symbols after transforming into any of the other reel symbols.
The bat represents the scatter symbol and it will pay you generous rewards. If you can get at least three of the scatter bats on the reels, you will earn a nice cash prize.
Lastly, you can activate a bonus round when 5x of the Mr. Twinkles icons appear when you play Witches Wealth video slot machine online. This will give you a mystery prize.
After that, the witch will attempt to avoid falling items by going to the roof of the next house. Double prize will be awarded if she makes it safely, and triple wins if she returns home.

so we dated for the summer time. the break up was mutual but he wanted it more than I did. it was about 60/40. we didn't talk for a couple months I always took intitiative to talk to him. and I even told him off because he was still acting like a jerk to me like he was when we were going out. so we got that settled and everything was okay. we didn't talk for a few months and then I decided one day that I really wanted my friend back and started talking again. but I'm always the one taking initiative to talk and stuff. but we have hung out -with other people- and we are fine we laugh and joke all the time and its just like old times. and its just weird he doesn't take action to talk to me. and its just bizarre to me because he was the one that said "oh I defenitely still like you and I defenitely still want to be friends". and wiht this past semester he blamed not talking to me on all of his work and school work. which I understand but it doesn't take a lot of time to text someone or email and I just don't understand why. I figured that maybe he's with someone else now and just feels weird. and it seems like an issue if its ever the case where just the two of us were to hang out just eat or something...and its' just weird and I'm trying to understand why and hope that someone will be able to help me! sorry for the looooong note
I dated my best guy friend he said he wanted to be friends now he rarely takes initiative to talk why?

You already now why. He feels weird about it so he acts strange. If you date a friend and it doesn't work out it's common for that friendship to be less than great. Give him some time but know that their may be a chance you two may never be as close as you once were.00|00|0

The adult magazine's purple cover graced by the mother of three boasts the tagline 'The Devil in Marge Simpson'.
The latest girl to shed her clothes for the Playboy magazine cover is none other than Marge Simpson. Previously only a rumor, it has developed into a serious one as TMZ has obtained its cover. The cartoon character from FOX's long-running series "The Simpsons" appears naked on the November issue cover, sitting on a bunny chair that hardly conceals her curves.
Back in August, Hugh Hefner himself has posted a tease of this stint, writing "Marge Simpson has a surprise for her fans in the November issue of Playboy." A report from E! Online emerged to reveal more details. Marge will be featured in a three-page pictorial complete with an interview and a data sheet.
The November issue comes in celebration of the cartoon's 20th anniversary. It will also include a tribute to Farrah Fawcett, an interview with Benicio Del Toro and a feature about "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan.
"The Simpsons" has been renewed for two further seasons, making it a potentially the longest-running primetime series on TV after "Gunsmoke".

INDEPENDENTS REPORT: One big stop
Buehler's Fresh Foods' new format takes the grocer from 'vanilla' to '32 flavors' of retailing excellence.
Buehler's Fresh Foods has created a "Big Stir" in northeast Ohio -- and it's just one of many unique features that has customers flocking to its new 90,000-square-foot independently owned supermarket.
Located in affluent Jackson Township, just minutes from Canton's Pro Football Hall of Fame, the store celebrated its grand opening weeks ago.
In addition to The Big Stir, a made-to-order pasta and noodle kitchen that invites customers to "personalize their pasta," the store showcases a number of other unique departments and services developed to meet the demands of today's time-starved consumers: a full-service 10,000-square-foot Ace Hardware outlet; The Scenic River Coffee Co.; The Oven Works, featuring oven-baked pizzas and subs; a Kidzpark child care and learning center; a full-service sit-down restaurant called Buehler's Main Street Grill; an extensive natural and organic department; a pharmacy; a scratch bakery; and lots more.
Need to drop off the dry cleaning, send flowers to a loved one via FTD, or even have a favorite pair of shoes mended? How about that morning trip to the U.S. Post Office? There's not much that consumers can't do at the new Buehler's.
This state-of-the-art supermarket likely features all of the products and services a customer could possibly want, but most impressive is the level of customer service provided by store manager Jackie Kirby and her 200-plus associate staff -- a level of service that's been the foundation of Buehler's Fresh Foods for nearly 80 years.
Founded as a small corner grocery in 1929 by E.L. "Ed" Buehler and his wife, Helen, the Wooster, Ohio-based independent now operates 13 conventional stores. It's recognized as a leading independent that continues to embrace change, not just to satisfy customers, but also to provide growth opportunities for associates.
And like so many successful grocers, the Buehlers understand that change should start at the top.
"Three years ago we restructured our entire organization," says director of consumer affairs Mary McMillen. "It was an important process that identified specific areas of responsibility for all family leaders and key associates. At the same time, we began to look at growth opportunities in the market. That's when we identified Jackson Township as a place where we wanted to do business."
Adds Kirby: "With the assistance of our wholesaler, Nash Finch, who performed market studies and a site analysis for us, and the unconditional support of the local Jackson Township officials and chamber of commerce, here we are today, operating this fantastic new store."
While the building is new, so is the retail concept, which was inspired solely by Buehler's fourth generation of family leaders and designed in conjunction with Los Angeles-based Shook Kelly, an award-winning architectural firm with whom the retailer became acquainted through FMI.
"We're no longer 'vanilla,'" laughs McMillen. "We're 32 different flavors. This store is spacious and so colorful. It's awesome!"
And it's also not likely to be the last show-stopper for the Buehler organization, which is recognized nationwide as a pacesetter for independents, not only for its commitment to customer service, but also for its innovation and for operating at all times in a fiscally responsible manner.
Relying on a diverse and devoted management team, the company also continues to focus intently on opportunities that will allow its people to grow.
"Our employees are the heart and soul of our business," confirms McMillen. "In this company we have two No. 1's: our employees and our customers."
She adds: "The best thing about working for Buehler's is the trust, honor, and kindness that the family shares with all of us. They empower us to manage the organization, yet they applaud our failures. We're applauded for trying, and encouraged to focus on what lessons we can take with us."
"The family truly understands that they need us," concurs Kirby, who began her career at Buehler's as a part-time produce clerk 27 years ago. "They acknowledge all associates every single day, and it's become contagious. We in turn pass that appreciation on to our customers."
