Bankside Yards is a 1.4 million sq ft residential, office and retail development at the site of the Ludgate House and Sampson House in London SE1.
A planning consent for the redevelopment of the 5.3-acre site, designed by PLP Architecture, was secured by Carlyle Group in March 2014 and comprises permission for 489 apartments and 288,000 sq ft of offices, as well as retail, leisure and cultural facilities. When completed, the project will comprise five residential buildings and four office buildings.
The development will rise from 13 to 49 storeys and will create new routes reconnecting the eastern and western sides of a railway viaduct where the existing buildings have formed an impermeable barrier through the site since the 1970s.
The planning consent also ensures a payment in lieu of affordable housing of £65 million payable to Southwark Council.
The developer is an international consortium comprising Native Land, Temasek, HPL and Amcorp Properties.
The consortium has acquired Sampson House and Ludgate House with an existing planning consent obtained by previous owner The Carlyle Group.
Native Land is appointed as development manager to the consortium also comprising Singapore's Temasek and Hotel Properties Limited (HPL) and Malaysia's Amcorp Properties.
Native Land intends to deliver the project in a series of phases, with the first phase including a 49-storey tower comprising 211 apartments fronting the River Thames. The subsequent phase will deliver a Grade A office building, with later phases including the redevelopment of Sampson House, which is currently leased to IBM until 2025 but with a mutual break option in June 2018.
The development's three tallest towers are designed by PLP as a "family of forms", with masonry of a warm colour borrowed from adjacent existing buildings and ensuring that the development relates to its surroundings and the river Thames.
The overall site has been identified as an 'opportunity area' in the Mayor of London's London Plan, and is immediately adjacent to Blackfriars Station's southern entrance. It also benefits from excellent links to the City of London, the West End, Canary Wharf and the capital's international transport destinations.
2016 October - Initial demolition works commenced on select areas of Ludgate house in October 2016. Specialist contractor, McGee undertook the works on the western edge of the site, on Blackfriars Road.

Power thought cards
No, i didn't invented them… they already exist and they are wonderfull! I have them on my desk since a year now, so each day i have one card facing my workplace. I also use them as bookmark (which is quite effective since i am reading at least 4 books at the same time).
Each card is really nicely illustrated by the illustrators from Lila Rogers studio with on one side of the card a powerfull affirmation, following a little explanation at the back.
I wish i could have made them, they are such a great source of support and inspiration!

Born and raised in NYC, NYC is in my blood. Growing up in the concrete jungle you had to eat or be eaten. You learn that in order to get ahead you must truly work hard and relentlessly every single day. I attended Brooklyn Technical Highschool and then earned my bachelor's in finance from City College. I lived in Astoria my whole life so I know the neighborhood very well and one of my passions is spreading love and happiness to everyone I meet.

11. Had we all been still independent, we could have had more faith in their not attempting any change; but the greater number being their subjects, while they were treating us as equals, they would naturally chafe under this solitary instance of independence as contrasted with the submission of the majority; particularly as they daily grew more powerful, and we more destitute. [2] Now the only sure basis of an alliance is for each party to be equally afraid of the other: he who would like to encroach is then deterred by the reflection that he will not have odds in his favour. [3] Again, if we were left independent, it was only because they thought they saw their way to empire more clearly by specious language and by the paths of policy than by those of force. [4] Not only were we useful as evidence that powers who had votes, like themselves, would not, surely, join them in their expeditions, against their will, without the party attacked being in the wrong; but the same system also enabled them to lead the stronger states against the weaker first, and so to leave the former to the last, stripped of their natural allies, and less capable of resistance. [5] But if they had begun with us, while all the states still had their resources under their own control, and there was a center to rally round, the work of subjugation would have been found less easy. [6] Besides this, our navy gave them some apprehension: it was always possible that it might unite with you or with some other power, and become dangerous to Athens. [7] The court which we paid to their commons and its leaders for the time being, also helped us to maintain our independence. [8] However, we did not expect to be able to do so much longer, if this war had not broken out, from the examples that we had had of their conduct to the rest.

Major projects need funds. During the Soccer Stadium Informational Session that was held early in November, Ms. Linda Ghaffari proposed an idea to help raise funds for the building of BHA's much needed soccer stadium. A barbecue to fulfill Coach Chelsey Rictor's suggestion for a fundraiser where the students are involved, since the future soccer stadium will belong to them. BBQ meals, sponsored by the BHA P.E. Department and the students, were set to roll. Scheduling and organization were priorities, but Ms. Rictor said, "The biggest problem was getting the menu." Mr. Ali El-Khalid from Bismillah, an international grocery store in Plano, provided the most important part of a BBQ: the chicken. He precooked the chicken, so it wouldn't have to be barbecued for too long. He made no profit from this sale because he sold it at cost. People were given a box with BBQ chicken, beans, potato salad and a roll for $10. The beans, potato salad and rolls were provided by the volunteers. "I thought the food was good, but I didn't like the potato salad," Faten Mohammed[9] said. There were quite a few student volunteers, mainly from high school, who helped a lot. "I don't feel like mentioning one without mentioning them all," Rictor said. Coach Rictor, Coach Arbad Ismail, Ms. Linda

If you're like me, you like to procrastinate down to the very last hour right before the test. However, there are just some inevitable forces that are set in place to prevent us from doing exactly that; they're called study guides. They ruin our perfectly free time by making us crack a book, but in the end they are very helpful. Why? They actually make you study. See, it's the guilt factor in play. You feel guilt so you're forced to do a study guide, and therefore, you subconsciously train your mind to retain the information after answering hours of questions. ChaCha (Q&A website) says it takes your brain about seven times to remember something. Many opinions have sustained the same fact; you need to see "learn" something 7-21 times to recall the information. Most study guides are set up to repeat the same questions over and over in different formats and variations to get the brain to open up to different possibilities. Study guides are made to help you study. Even if it is four pages long, it's much shorter than skimming all the notes and the textbook. Think about it: how will you study
Page 2
without a study guide? Our curriculum has used them so long that your mind will begin to make a list of the things you need to study, also known as a study guide. So, instead of having your brain do double the work of making up questions and answering them, your teacher has nicely complied the list for you all typed up and ready to go. The preparation for a test comes omes down to studying. ng. If you're not going to o study using a study guide, then how w are you going to o study? Either using your own or a teacherprovided ed one, you will always ways need a study guide to study. It's t's the most efficientt way y to help organize ganize the main n points over a wide range ange of topics. s. If you u don't like study guides then you u obviously sly don't like ke good grades. rades.
[sigh] Before the eagerly awaited winter break, we had to go through something that could have caused severe brain damage: the dreaded MIDTERMS! Midterms come every year, and in preparation for that, we have to complete study guides. I always question the purpose of study guides. Are they supposed to just help us "get through" the exams? Are they the means for students who do not study to pass? Are they really meant to help us prepare for the exams, or are they cumbersome just a cum task that we w have complete before to complet the exam? Now, in cases, study some cases guides may be half a slip o of paper just saying sayin what we have covered through the year and what wh parts we need to ne study. In I others, it may not n be so easy.
Some Som study guides may guide be up u to 16 PAGES PAGE LONG and full of questions, some of which you may not n even r e m e m b e r. Some study
guides may even contain study material from previous grades and even some from old tests. In one such case, I saw a study guide which just had questions from old study guides and they were not even changed! I believe that even if you are giving the same study guide, you should at least mix it up; remove some of the material, make it more interesting, so the students feel that, "You know, I actually learned something from the study guide and that it will help me on the test!" Many parents also complain that the study guides are extremely long and students as young as 3rd grade are not capable of finishing 10-15 pages of material. Teachers make it either optional or mandatory, which confuses some students. Most students, if given the optional choice, do not do the study guide and are said by teachers to have not retained the information. These students state that, "The study guides do not help; they handicap us and are a useless waste of time. In conclusion, I think that study guides should be discarded; class reviews should take their place, and students should be provided just the chapter objectives to help them prepare for the exams.
Test before Tests = Too Much Stress Aisha Lee Managing Editor
Aseel Dweik [10] said. "Whenever I studied for those. it was extra reviewing." Some teachers do not want to put any pressure on the students, but they are required to have at least three test grades for each nine weeks. "Sometimes we're forced to do it even though it's not the best situation," Ms. Sofia Zamir, a math teacher, said. Other teachers focus on assigning the required three tests much earlier, and then dedicate the last week for a study guide and review. "The very last week we should be wrapping up the material and students are busy working on study guides," Insaf Lachtar,
Head of the Social Studies Department, said. "It's better to plan." Even though teachers are required to have lesson plans, sometimes the unexpected happens. These unplanned events delay the lesson plans and postpone the tests. "My friends [...] have their plans, but unplanned things come up and mess up the plans," Lachtar said. The BHA policy states that students are required to have sufficient reviewing time in order to perform the best for major exams. "Teachers are highly discouraged from giving major exams or projects during the week of such exams," Dr. Adnan Omran, Principal, said. "Certainly,
The week before the departmental exams can be extremely stressful for students. This stress is caused by the load of work given during that week, which includes: regular tests, projects and quizzes, as well as the usual amount of homework. "It's not fair to students because they're expected to divide their focus and attention between tests and departmentals," Aaminah Farooq [9], said. "It's also harmful to their health because it adds to the already high stress level." Though this higher-thanusual level of work can be an overdose, some students take advantage of the opportunity to look over the chapters again. "I actually like them,"
I will remind the teachers about the importance of considering the level of pressure and apprehension
that students have due to such significant exams."

High school should be a good experience, but with rapidly changing curriculums, exams, tons of homework, and assignment deadlines, it turns out not to be. Students are constantly under pressure by colleges, their fellow classmates, the society, and especially by parents. We have overscheduled, overstressed, and over competitive school kids. Colleges are known to look for high grades, extracurricular involvement and interests that make people 'unique'. In the race to get into the best colleges, students over-stress themselves to BE the best. To win in this race, you need to be involved in the arts, sports; you have to be smart, and at the same time you have to find yourself, because if you don't, you'll pretty much lose yourself. Students are also always worrying about the job they're going to get, and how much money they will make; this is what success
In the race to become the best, they are pressured to perform well, but they are not necessarily pressured to learn deeply and comprehensively. But what good will it do when we have an entire population of dentists and doctors who cannot think critically? These jobs need people to be problem solvers, but the factors that get students to think are pushed aside most of the time. Most of the students' time goes away in just doing endless tedious homework. There is a saying of the Prophet (pbuh)* that says that whenever his companions would come to learn new verses of the Holy Quran, he would usually give them no more than ten. The companions would first memorize them, then fully
UNDERSTAND them, then ACT upon them, and then go on to the next set of verses. If we develop this method in our education system, students would be able to learn more conceptually. Students also have a tendency to cram in all the information needed, but forget it right after they are done with the exam. This technique isn't very productive. It becomes a problem when students get to college. The college system requires critical thinking, to which most high school students have not been accustomed. If cramming persists, future professionals will look back not remembering anything they have learned. In a race, there are also competitors; in this case, they are fellow classmates. Students are always competing to be the best. They overstress themselves with their many hours of
homework, and then on top of that, they go into extracurricular activities, sports, and more. They also have to deal with their own social life, and it may just turn into a complete cycle of depression. This depression may get so bad, it may cause suicide thoughts or suicide. Society today expects a lot from children. They want us to be the future generation, but sometimes you have to take it one step at a time. School pressure is taken into two different aspects: cope or drop. Some students have the courage to cope with it, but much of the time, we forget that there are the students who look at this system, and don't want to deal with it. This creates a huge gap in the education levels of our society. We are left with an outcome of high achievers and under achievers. Without a middle class to balance us, it may create turmoil of a class system in society. Parents nowadays are afraid that their children won't be as successful as they are. They push their kids to be the best, therefore just adding to the pressure on the kids. Kids' social lives are also at stake in this entire cycle.

People have associated good grades with good personality. For example, if a child has good grades, he/she is known to be a good kid. If a child has bad grades, he/she is known to be a bad kid; whereas, this might not be the case. Children need start to being appreciated for other things such as creativity and critical thinking.

Every year the Sophomore Class of BHA hosts the Hajj Simulation for the elementary students. This year was no different; the class of 2013 hosted the Hajj Simulation in the ECE building on November 11, 2010, the day of Eid celebrations. Each student in this class receives a grade for participating. Every student is assigned a specific station and group. The group works together to build their stations and helps

other groups with their station since this is a group effort. Then, the ECE students come, one grade at a time. They learn, or are reminded of, the steps of Hajj and the proper process. Afterwards, when the students are gone and the passports are checked, clean up begins. Cleaning up is much faster than setting up. In the end, it is a success due to the cooperation and the effort of everyone involved.
4th graders pretend to spend the night in Muzdalifah, a city in Saudi Arabia in route between Arafah and Mina, before proceeding to Ramil-Jamrat in Mina. Yasmine Itani [10] is putting final touches on the path between Safa and Marwa during the setup. Performing Sa'i between the two hills of Safa and Marwa serves to commemorate Hagar's search for water and God's mercy in answering prayers.

Rahel Usman [10] and her classmates put their final touches to the Ka'bah during the simulation's setup. 4th graders throw rocks at the Jamrat. This ritual of stoning the devil, symbolizes the trials of Abraham as he was comanded to sacrifice his son. Each pillar represents Abraham's refusal of the devil's enticement. God had mercy and spared Abraham's son, and commanded him to sacrifice a ram instead.

Students and teachers expressed positive feedback about the event.

This year BHA students celebrated the momentous occasion of Eid-ul-Adha on November 11, 2010 with various activities organizedby the PTO.

Students had a lot of fun and enjoyed the day celebrating Eid," Ms. Noor Taleb (Middle School English teacher) said. "Although, they could improve it in the upcoming years by having a wider variety of activities for the students to participate in," she added. "There is always room for improvement, such as implementing Eid activities in our school calendar and getting more parents to volunteer for future activities. All the teachers and staff collaborated somehow in the celebration. Thanks to them for their great help and support," Hosny said.

they know the importance of the project and will help by donating funds and time," said Ms. Ghaffari. Although the BBQ was successful and we're closer to our goal of $250,000 to build our soccer stadium, more activities to raise money are needed. In order to reach this goal, the cooperation and spirit of the students, staff, and parents is needed. A soccer stadium will open new doors for BHA's future, but it's still only a model on a piece of paper. "The soccer stadium will provide a safe environment for the students to exercise and play in; to relax and bond with their fellow Muslim friends, instead of seeing other places for enjoyment. It will also encourage participation in soccer games and allow BHA to represent themselves in the community and expose it to our children practicing their religion. Hopefully, this will help us make
da'wah and open up more minds to who and what we really are," said Ms. Ghaffari. Hopefully, students, teachers, and parents want to keep up to date on how the funding for the future soccer stadium is going.

There were cup-cakes and desserts, sad good-byes, hugs, tears and presents in the foyer all surrounding a smiling Ms. Noor Taleb, now former teacher of seventh and eighth grade English. " She was one of the best teachers I've ever had because she understood the students. " (Former Student of Ms. Noor) Ms. Noor recently shared the news of her engagement. However, it was a shock to many when students and staff learned that she will also be moving to North Carolina.

BHA was the first place Ms. Noor taught; most teachers can tell you that the first few years are the hardest. "She got through the hard part. She did well for a novice teacher. The results of the work from the ninth graders are above average, due to her." (Ms. Jaena) But a door has now opened in North Carolina and Ms. Noor is stepping through it.

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
Safa Mohammed Staff Writer
The Lost Hero, the first book in the follow up to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, continues the story of the lives of demigods. Demigods are a combination of Greek or Roman gods and humans. The setting is in modern U.S.A. At over 500 pages, it is extremely long and takes some time to read and to understand. Personally, I wouldn't have ever picked up The Lost Hero if I hadn't heard about how great it is and had not already read and enjoyed the Percy Jackson series. The story starts off quickly by introducing the three main characters who are Jason, Piper and Leo, and also raising several questions, some of which are answered by the end of the book. Others questions may only be answered in future books in the series. One annoying element throughout the book was the collection of vividly detailed, supposedly
Rating: 3.5 bookmarks out of 5 important "obstacles" the trio runs into that I really did not care about. I barely remember these details because I skimmed over most of them, and I probably won't reread the entire book to recall them. Also, since there are three main characters, each character has their own chapter and their own point of view. To me, this is unnecessary since the whole book is written in third person and all three characters have one dimensional personalities. Something else I didn't like was the way all the Greek and Roman monsters and other characters were thrown into the plot without a scenario to help the reader remember them. It simply made the book more confusing. The last thing that truly irritated me throughout the book, was the way the characters didn't really develop. They stayed more or less the
same from beginning to end. Even though there were many things I disliked in the book, there were a few things that kept me reading and will probably lead me to read the next book on the Heroes of Olympus series. Many parts of The Lost Hero are really funny and show that Rick Riordan, the author, has not lost his humorous touch. Also, instead of just dealing with Greek mythology, as in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Heroes of Olympus series combines both Greek and Roman mythology which results in a much more complex and intriguing plot. The book ends with one of the main problems solved, and with a bit of suspense. All in all, even though the first book, The Lost Hero, wasn't great, it wasn't too bad either. It is a mildly enjoyable read if you have the time. I am not that excited for the next book in the series, The Son of Neptune, however when it comes out, I may end up reading it.

IP, New Delhi
Bad thing is that during summers we used to suffer a lot. I want some a/c facility much be provided to us :-P and yes the quality of food that is served in the college canteen seriously requires to get improved.
I gave no entrance exam for admission in the college. It was on the basis of marks and the percentage. In the first cut off i got the admission and as ip college for women is the top college in Delhi university so I didn't think twice and took admission in the college.
Fee structure is really very feasible. I mean like my graduation just completed only in 1 lac including my all expenses as well.For a year fees was 18000 only for a year. And examination fees was 1100 for each semester
There were many companies which came to our college. I actually didn't opted for any placements. Companies lile EY google and many more packages were 1-2lacs annually.
I don't really know about the hostel facility because I myself live in delhi. But all that i have listened through my friends there is mixed reactions about the facilities some are good and some are bad food is not that good no facilities during summers But yes many events for them are organised like other colleges had dinner in our college only the hostel people inter hostel college dinner and many more events.
Senior students were quite supportive and used to guide us. They used to gyide us abiut thd books and if we had any issue relating to college they used to help us. Also the seniors were the president or Vice President of college therefore if we had any problems we can ask them to solve it or anything relating to events.
Faculty was quite supportive and all the teachers were quite helpful. Our college had the top most teachers with great experience of each and every subject they used to teach us.
These activities were quite active in our college. These activities were very frequent. Every week such events used to take place like debates speeches etc.In sports activities like volleyball badminton cricket there were wide opportunities for it We also had swimming competition And sports was compulsory for those who took admission through sports quota
Exam structure were wuite good. No it didn't leave us to a hectic day. We had normal exams in the college itself.
Curriculum was very challenging for me. Some subjects were really tough but some were really very easy because we have already studied them in our higher classes.
Yes we did have internship project in summers. It was required to attain marks. The internship was for 25 marks we either had to do some internship with the companies or have to prepare the project on the topics given by the college. I did internship in hdfc bank for a month as 30 days work experience was required and no stipend was given to me as i was just a trainee for just a month.
We use to celebrate many events.First in January we use to celebrate 26th January that is the Republic day The college host the flag hosting ceremony and then we use to have many dance performances and songa and then the national anthem Then in February college fest take placeMany renowned people come to our college Then sports day Also we have educational discussions meetings Like online e commerce An annual meeting took place So we have many functions and events.
No I didn't have any scholarship. But yes some students of our class were given the scholarship and they were offered a trip to singapore.

Tragic New York Accident Shines Light on Teen Drivers
A "horrific" accident Monday left four teenagers dead and one seriously injured. The lone survivor of the crash, the 17-year-old driver, was behind the wheel around 3:30 a.m. when he failed to negotiate a curve on the Southern State Parkway in Malverne, New York. The vehicle hit a tree killing all four passengers instantly. The extent of the driver's injuries are unknown.
This accident raises awareness of the risks many teen drivers take, and shines a light on New York's graduated driver's licensing program. According to news reports, the driver of the car was driving with just a learner's permit, and should not have been allowed to drive under any of the conditions.
This accident could have been avoided if the GDL laws of New York were followed. New York drivers with learner's permits are prohibited from driving unless accompanied by a supervising driver, age 21 or older with a valid license. In addition, the New York GDL program limits the number of passengers in a teen's vehicle. The program prohibits more than one passenger younger than age 21 unless a parent or guardian is in the vehicle. The program further prohibits unsupervised nighttime driving between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. All of the passengers in the car at the time of the accident were just 18-years-old.
National Teen Driver Safety Week
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has a mission to keep Americans safe on our highways, and does that through safety campaigns aimed at raising awareness of highway dangers. Next week, Oct. 14-20, the NHTSA has designated the week National Teen Driver Safety Week.
According to the NHTSA, drivers ages 15- to 20-years old, are especially vulnerable to death and injury on U.S. roadways. In fact, traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in America. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers.
In an effort to change these statistics, the NHTSA is conducting a multi-tiered strategy to prevent motor vehicle-related deaths and injuries among teen drivers. The week's campaign is focusing on: increasing seat belt use, implementing graduated driver licensing, reducing teens' access to alcohol, and parental responsibility.
Our Binghamton car accident attorneys encourage parents to take an active role in keeping their teens safe on New York highways. Serving as a mentor and enforcing NY driving laws can help keep your teens safer when driving. We agree with the NHTSA: "It's not just good parenting, it's a matter of life and death." Please talk to your children about safe driving behaviors.

Your hands, head and feet constitute your body's initial warning system when temperatures start dropping.
Due to their high surface area to mass ratio, these are the places that you are likely to feel the cold first.
You may be decked out in the puffiest of down jackets and pants, but if your extremities aren't properly protected, chances are you will be sorrier than a steer in a stockyard. In the event that these areas are exposed to extreme cold for an extended period, you run the risk of incurring frostnip or frostbite.
Layering System for Hands
When it comes to keeping my hands comfortable in freezing conditions, I take the same approach as I do to my overall clothing system – layering.
I usually go for a three or four tier combination, as opposed to a single thick or bulky layer.
The reason? Adaptability.
Over the course of a multi-day winter or shoulder season backpacking trip, it's not uncommon to encounter a relatively wide range of conditions. By having a versatile system, you maximize your chances of staying comfortable irrespective of what Mother Nature throws at you.
Layers can be removed or added according to the weather and/or exertion level at any given time.
Let's break it down into the same standard categories that most hikers use when it comes to their clothing system: Base, Insulation and Outer Layers.
Base Layer
I use thin liner gloves made of merino wool. They are breathable, weigh next to nothing (usually around 1-1.2 oz), dry quickly and can be used on their own when the temperatures aren't too cold.
The one caveat with these gloves is durability. In some two decades of wearing both merino and synthetic models, I have yet to find a pair that lasts more than a month or two before holes start to develop.
In recent times, I've used Merino liners from Montbell, but other companies such as Smartwool, Icebreaker and Ibex make similar products. If you're looking to save some cash, you can buy slightly heavier wool versions (1.5 oz a pair; Pmags.com recommended no less!) at Army Surplus stores for less than half the price of name brands.
Insulating Layer
Wool, fleece or down mittens are a good choice as your insulating layer in cooler temps. If it turns out to be chillier than expected, you can always add your sleeping socks as an extra layer.
Depending on the conditions, over the last few years I have swapped and changed between Smartwool Cozy Mittens (weight: 2.3 oz) and the Outdoor Research PI 400 Sensor Mittens (weight: 2.9 oz – used in colder temps) for my insulating layer.
Outer Layer
I generally use MLD eVent rain mittens, which are lightweight (1.4 oz), quick drying and provide reasonable wind and rain protection (Note: As with all breathable "waterproof" garments, they will wet out with extended exposure to inclement conditions). Since 2008, I have carried these mittens on virtually all of my backcountry trips, irrespective of the season.
Extra Layer: Plastic Disposable Gloves
I often carry Plastic Disposable Kitchen gloves when backpacking. They weigh practically nothing (0.1 oz tops) and I prefer them to the Latex or Nitrile models, which I find to be a bit fidgety getting on and off in cold and wet conditions.
I use the Plastic Disposable gloves in the following two ways:
- In freezing rain I'll wear them over the liner gloves and under the MLD Rain Mitts. In such a scenario even if the outer layer gets soaked, my liners stay relatively dry.
- When temps are well below freezing, they can be useful as a Vapor Barrier Liner (VBL). Once again, I'll use them over the merino base layer, and under both the insulating mittens and the eVent outer layer. Some hikers use them directly against the skin, however, personally I've found that my hands tend to get a bit clammy when employing this method.
When it comes to layering systems, whether it be for your hands or clothes in general, ideally your selections should compliment one another. Each layer working together as part of a flexible system designed to minimize duplicity and maximize efficiency.
The versatile combination I describe above weighs in at between 5 and 5.6 oz, and has an overall cost of less than $100. It has served me well in both freezing rain, as well as heavy snow and temperatures down to 0°F (i.e. -17°C).
*Tip: One of the things I like most about this system is that all three layers dry relatively quickly. Indeed, I have found that if any layers have gotten wet during the course of the hiking day, all I need to do is put them underneath my beanie or down my long johns at night, and they are pretty much 100% dry by the time I wake up the following morning.

This expression, as I am sure you know, is borrowed from French. Literally, it means 'Long live the difference!'. In truth, we French don't use it that much (if at all). In fact, once again, I think of 'Vive la difference' as a British idiom, even if the words are French. What can I say? Life is incredibly complicated.
Let's go back to the definition, shall we? 'Vive la difference!' is an expression of approval of difference, especially between the sexes. When I hear it reminds me to appreciate the uniqueness of everyone and everything. Of course variety is great!! Embrace it. Don't be afraid of it.
Well, that's the theory, right? The reality is, indeed, different (pun intended!). Why is is so hard to be different, even if it's just a little bit? I really wonder. But let's face it, it's bloody hard.
For instance, what is it with this obsession with the French First lady, Brigitte Macron? I read yet another article on how her dress was matching her husband's. Seriously? What can I say? Unlike in France, women in the UK seem to become invisible after a certain age. We French still value mature women, and have timeless icons such as Catherine Deneuve (73 years old), but the British have difficulties in accepting an older French lady. Maybe it is her sense of style? It is more likely her Frenchness, and, let's face it, there isn't much she can do about it. She is not going to apologise for who she is anyway. Can't we just leave her alone?

Sweden, winter, 1991. Inspector Kurt Wallander and his team receive an anonymous tip-off. A few days later a life raft is washed up on a beach. In it are two men, dressed in expensive suits, shot dead.
The dead men were criminals, victims of what seems to have been a gangland hit. But what appears to be an open-and-shut case soon takes on a far more sinister aspect. Wallander travels across the Baltic Sea, to Riga in Latvia, where he is plunged into a frozen, alien world of police surveillance, scarcely veiled threats, and lies. Doomed always to be one step behind the shadowy figures he pursues, only Wallander's obstinate desire to see that justice is done brings the truth to light.
The Dogs of Riga is the second book in the Wallander series. It was published in Sweden in 1992 and in English 2001.

Connecting with Science Newsletter March 2013
elcome to the Spring Newsletter for the Irish American primary schools science network. Spring is definitely in the air, the days are getting longer and it won't be long until Easter is here. In this issue we look at some of the opportunities that involvement with initiatives such as Greenwave offers and we include an article about Spring from Tom Finnerty, the local co-ordinator of the Western Seaboard Science Project. There is also a competition on the back page for children to enter.
Signs of Spring The first sign of Spring to me is one which comes without any fanfare. It is the arrival of the snowdrop. I've always been struck by its quiet sense of determination to appear in the most adverse of weather. Its designated time could not have been worse. It pushes its way through the frosty crust and from under melting banks of snow. We admire the arrival of the hyacinth on the inside of the window but how much more difficult was that of the snowdrop? It stands there hanging its beautiful bell shaped white head humbly waiting to be discovered. It is the first to tweet the hope of Spring. Contrast that with the "Johnny come lately" daffodil, trumpeting its own glorious arrival. In the garden it shyly grows at the foot of the hedge always living life in the shadow of others, particularly the beech hedge which is the most reluctant to recognize that Spring has arrived, still holding on to last year's coat. The snowdrop's passing is even more humble than its arrival. It fades away in the forest of the growing grass. The sycamore tree too signals the arrival of spring. The bark seems clothed in new emerald green livening up its greyness. The moss has
taken on the task of dressmaker. On flat wall tops the moss gets really excited. It sports a dashing orange mullet hairstyle. In the hedges the honey suckle is already putting out tentative shoots. However, the hazel is the plant which shows the most activity. Hard green catkins have almost doubled in size. Their colour will change from lime green to a glowing gold in the next weeks as they unwind to their full length. This is only the male flower. The female flower must still make her entrance. The casual observer will miss her completely. She is no bigger than the head of a match. She wears a beautiful burgundy crown. She lasts no more than a week most people completely unaware of her presence. When we notice the raucous behaviour of the crows from the top branches we have the definite sign. The posturing and the bowing and scraping of prospective grooms towards the ladies, the faction fights of the older couples, the trespassing, the evictions and the thieving of building material from each other signal a building boom. Spring is definitely here! By Tom Finnerty

Greenwave Perhaps you don't think winter is over yet but spring is definitely in the air. You could use your observation skills to check if there are any signs of spring in your area. You could join in a project to help scientists with their work. It is called Greenwave and you can find out more details and how to join on www.greenwave.ie. Some scientists say that if you look at Europe from outer space you will see a Green Wave moving up across the continent in spring time. This is caused by the green buds on the trees and hedges opening. The Green Wave begins in the south of Europe in February and moves up across the continent as temperatures rise. It is said to move at about 160 kilometres per week. If this is true, it should take about three weeks to move up through Ireland from Mizen Head to Malin Head. What you have to do is observe when certain trees get their leaves and also when certain flowers, birds and animals appear. You then have to register the information on the Greenwave website. By doing this you will help scientists to check if spring is arriving earlier each year.
Snowdrop experiment Snowdrops are able to flower early in the year because they have lots of food stored in a bulb underground. This gives them a head start over many other flowers. The white flower is a little bit unusual in that botanists say it has no petals. The white structures are known as tepals. Children can change the white to a different colour as the activity below show. You will need: • • • •
Snowdrops (or similar white flower e.g. white carnation) Green food colouring Water A container e.g. jam jar or beaker
What to do: 1. Fill the container with water and add a few drops of green food colouring. 2. Carefully cut the end off the bottom of the stem. 3. Put the flower in the container of food colouring and water. 4. Check it every few hours to see if you notice any changes. Record your observations. 5. Leave the flower in the water for a day or so. What happens to the flower? Did you know
Page 2
The tepals changed colour because the coloured water travelled up the stem of the flower and went into the tepals. What do you think would happen if you split the stem of a flower in half and put each part of the stem into two containers of different coloured water? Different colour combinations could be tested e.g. red and yellow; red and blue; blue and yellow. Pupils could be asked to predict what colour will result and then test their predictions.
A patriotic posy With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner you will see the colours green, white and orange all over the place. So why not ask the pupils to design and make a special St. Patrick's Day posy of green, white and orange flowers. You will need: • • • • •
White flowers such as carnations or snowdrops Celery stalks (optional) Plastic or paper cups Green, red and yellow colouring Water
What to do: 1. Pour some water into two cups. 2. Pour some green food colouring into one of the cups. 3. Pour some red and yellow food colouring into the other cup. What colour will that make? 4. Put one white flower into the green water and another white flower into the other coloured water. 5. Leave the flowers for a few hours or overnight. Predict what will happen to the white petals. 6. When the petals have changed colour make a patriotic posy of green, white and orange flowers. Why does this happen
A plant has small tubes called veins that carry water, minerals and food into every part of a plant. So the water with the food colouring gets carried up to the petals. When the colouring reaches the petals of the flower it changes the colour of the flower.
Simple identification keys for children can be found at; www.saps.org.uk/.../ SAPS%20Grouping%20 &%20classification%20 The Field Studies Council produces excellent picture identification keys for all habitats that you are likely to encounter. Their keys are laminated which makes it possible to use them in very damp conditions. They can be contacted at email@example.com or visit the website at www.fieldstudies-council.org/
Insects and spring One of the first insects to appear in Spring is the Bumble bee. But soon many other insects will appear and children may not know their names. Scientists use identification keys to put names on plants and animals and children could get some practice with keys by either making or using a simple branching key like the one below. Does the insect have wings?
One pair of wings
Does the body end in pincers?

Site Prep
Clear Trees and Brush
Site Prep involved clearing brush, downing trees, bringing in some heavy equipment to remove stumps and leveling the site.
Remove Stumps
Heavy equipment was brought in to remove stumps and remnants of a concrete pads and walkway
Level the Site
A skid loader was brought in to level the site after the stumps and remnants were removed
Early June, 2017
Design changes slowed the work for a month and a half. It was decided that as much as a smaller footprint would have been nice, ya gotta have at least a 24' width on the garage to have a nice shop. So site prep didn't begin until Jun 1. We settled on a two-story plan that called for 25'W x 32'L footprint.
After the site was cleared and somewhat level, a load of lime waste was brought in to level the site.

Because plants have long been jealous of our ability to live indoors, they attempt to infiltrate our finest mansions and universities by slowly climbing stony facades. Visit a place built specifically to contain these floral strivers with today's Groupon: for $11, you get two adult admissions to the Franklin Park Conservatory located in Columbus (a $22 value). Today's Groupon cannot be redeemed on Thursday evenings.
Since 1895, the Franklin Park Conservatory has greeted visitors with a lush, diverse ecosystem of more than 400 species of colorful plants and a schedule of eye-opening exhibits. The conservatory's 88 acres of urban oasis expand from various biomes into surrounding gardens. Watch as trees blossom in the spring and thrive in summer's welcoming warmth, or simply file through the campus and botanical gardens to revel in Franklin Park's herbs, plants, buzzing apiary, and community gardens.
Visitors can marvel at the metamorphosis of more than 100 types of butterflies at Blooms & Butterflies (through September 11), where hundreds of pupas emerge before casual onlookers and entomologists alike. Butterflies test-drive their new wings when released into the conservatory's Pacific Island Garden twice daily (1 p.m., 3 p.m.), followed by a short presentation from conservatory staff. Those visiting after August 20 can learn about local food trends through Hungry Planet (through November 6), a photographic exhibit exploring American eating habits, food attitudes, and why some get a cathartic release by shouting at their mashed potatoes. Feel free to stroll the museum's signature collection of original Dale Chihuly glass art, or watch as in-house professional glass blowers use careful craftsmanship to create twinkling vessels.
CoupFlip is a marketplace for people to buy and sell deals from "daily deal" (also known as "group buying") sites such as Groupon. On CoupFlip you can buy deals you missed, look for interesting deals in your area, or sell any deal you bought and won't use. The purchase is immediate - pick the deal, pay, download the voucher instantly and enjoy. Every voucher is guaranteed to be authentic by CoupFlip. For sellers, we provide the opportunity to sell your unwanted deal immediately without the hassle of listing your voucher and praying someone comes along and decides they feel like buying it.
It is completely free to buy and sell vouchers on CoupFlip!
See our FAQ page!
Daily deals make it possible for you to try something new or indulge in something lavish without the high price tag these things usually come with. If you ever have the need to buy and sell deals at any time, we're here to help. At CoupFlip, there's no need to worry about limited time offers on city deals or the long wait for a buyer.
What makes our listing different is that you can feel free to browse through our selection of vouchers at your leisure and pick the ones that you need. Thinking of going out for a meal or planning a vacation? Use our search bar to find the best deals you might have missed on Groupon.

K9's LamentSep. 18th, 2012 10:22 pm
Author: qafkinnetic
Rating: G
Pairings/Characters: Jack Harkness, Torchwood team, K-9
Spoilers/Warnings: None
Summary: The team go to Ealing to collect a dear friend's pet.
Author's Note: This story completely ignores and denies the deaths of Owen, Ianto, and Tosh, and also ignores the canon fact that K-9 left Sarah Jane. The title comes from a song by Chameleon Circuit (even though the song is about something totally different).

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 5 nights
In heart of Park City, a completely restored two-bedroom, two-bath miner's lodge. Located on Park Ave one block from the Park City Town Lift. A short walk to EVERYTHING Park City has to offer.
The perfect location for the Christmas skiing vacation or if attending the Sundance Film festival. Truly a year round get-away; includes private hot tub.
Keywords:ski,park city,ski in,ski in-ski out,2bed2bath,private house,pet-friendly
I grew up in Chicago and first came to Park City on a college ski trip in the mid 80's. I immediately fell in love with the town and the townspeople. During my career I found myself spending all of my free time in Park City. I bought my first property here in 1996 and started letting my friends and family use it when I was not in town, which led me to the idea of renting out my property for vacationers. I eventually bought this historic miner's lodge for vacationers and myself with all the benefits of convenience and enjoyment in mind. I want everyone else to experience the same love of Park City that I did and do it in comfort and style.
The whole family had a good time. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace and comfy beds. Being able to walk to town was great and the shuttles in front of the house were also very convenient. See you next year.
The house was perfect for what we needed:) super close walk to bars n restaurants and our lil baby (dog) got to join us for the trip:) would def stay again:)
Perfect to quick access to bus and downtown
We love the location of the home. It's right across from a shuttle stop which made travel to town very easy. That home is very cozy and had everything we needed.
I stayed here with a friend for a long weekend. The house is cozy, well appointed and warm. The hot tub was 105 degrees! Best of all is the location. Right in downtown Park City with an easy walk to restaurants and shops. The owner is super communicative.
The house was really well maintained and the location is hard to beat. We were two blocks from the town lift. Jim was a great host and extremely easy to work with. I would stay here again on any future park city trip.
Great location and super nice and helpful host. Highly recommend. Hope to make this a Sundance tradition!
