Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
To operate a fully functional maintenance division requires highly skilled technicians. South African Airways Technical Training has recognised this need, and in order to meet the high and exacting standards, has established Apprentice training programmes for eleven trade disciplines. Qualified Senior Instructors, each a specialist in his/her field, facilitate and coach apprentices to ensure total mastery of skills.
Apprentices are trained at South African Airways Technical which is located at ORT International Airport. This accredited training facility is one of the most respected in Africa.
South African Airways Technical Training apprentice programmes are based on the Competency Based Modular Training (CBMT) philosophy .The Apprentice Training Department is the leading developer for this training. CBMT is an individualised, structured learning process, which is self-paced but time managed. A course map indicating the objective and the number of modules is arranged in a logical sequential order. Each module covers a specific area of the course/s and deals adequately with the skill/s. Each module is concluded by successfully completing a criterion test.
Although each respective course is not time bound, but performance bound, the time taken to successfully master the required modules depends largely on an individual's own initiative and motivation: nevertheless on average an apprentice should complete a full course in 2-3 years. If required, apprentices are expected to attend and pass one Technical College block course, thereafter college studies are optional. Each trade has specific tasks/responsibilities to ensure airworthiness and safety of aircraft. It is expected from each applicant to choose, in order of preference from the list of trades and according to their interests, capabilities and potential, the trade that interests him/her the most.

All personal information is collected and processed in accordance with the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act (Wet Bescherming Persoonsgegevens), based on EU Directive 95/46/EC.
6.2 Information provided by the Passengers is primarily used for the purposes of (i) Reservation and purchase of their Ticket, (ii) provision of specific services in associated with the transportation service, (iii) canvassing, retention, guidance and commercial information, and (iv) performance of statistical studies. It may also be used for the purpose of facilitating the completion of administrative formalities relating to immigration and entering a territory, preventing non-payment and combating fraud, as well as guaranteeing the security and safety of flights.
6.3 Passengers are advised that any incident occurred during the execution of the Contract of Carriage which could possibly jeopardise the safety or security of a flight will be registered in a computerised system and may be disclosed to the appropriate Government Authorities.
Passengers are informed and accept that the provision of certain specific ancillary services like special meals and/or medical assistance may require the Carrier to record in its data base data that is likely to fall in article 16 of the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act. This data is only used for the specific additional services requested by the Passenger.
6.4 The data collected may be made accessible to authorised staff of the Carrier, or its partners (Authorised Agents, Carriers as defined in Article 1 above, etc.) or of its ancillary service providers, as part of the fulfilment of the requested services referred to above.
6.5 In accordance with applicable laws and regulations both in the Netherlands and internationally, the Carrier is also occasionally obliged to make personal data available to authorised Dutch or foreign authorities (e.g. customs, police, immigration, etc.), in particular for the purpose of preventing and combating terrorism or other crimes.
It is stipulated that some of the recipients mentioned above may be based outside the European Union and have access to some or all personal data collected by the Carrier (surname, first name, passport number, travel details, etc.), for the performance of the Passenger's Contract of Carriage or due to a specific legal authorisation. Data transfers conducted outside the European Union are carried out in accordance with the conditions defined in the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act.
6.6 Under the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act, Passengers have rights to access, correct, remove or object to data collected relating to themselves. These rights are to be exercised by sending a letter to the following address: KLM Privacy Office – AMSPI, P.O. Box 7700, 1117ZL Schiphol, the Netherlands.
6.7 Subject to the regulations in force, the Carrier reserves the right to use Passengers data under the conditions and for the purposes specified in this Article. More information regarding the processing of personal data by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines can be found in the Privacy policy on www.klm.com.

The Passenger may, subsequently, object to it's data being used for such purposes by sending a letter to the address mentioned in Article 6.6.
6.10 It is stipulated that the collection of certain personal data is essential to make the Reservation possible and to fulfil the Contract of Carriage. Passengers can exercise their right to object to the collection and processing of their data, but shall be informed that this may result in cancellation of the flight or inability to receive some of the specific requested ancillary services (e.g. special meals, etc.). It is also specified that, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in the Netherlands and internationally, the lack of some personal information or the inaccuracy of the supplied information may lead to a decision to deny boarding or entry into a foreign territory. This without the Carrier incurring any liability as a result.
7.1 The carriage of unaccompanied children, Passengers with Reduced Mobility, and persons with illnesses or any other persons who require special assistance, may be subject to special conditions. In certain situations the carriage shall only be performed subject to the Carrier's prior consent.

Analog PHP is a short and simple logging package for PHP 5.3+ based around the idea of using closures for configurability and extensibility. It functions as a static class, but you can completely control the handling of log messages through closures (aka anonymous functions), and it also comes with a dozen pre-written handlers. It is well-documented, with examples for each type of log handler, and ultra-concise. The core is literally only 43 lines of clear, non-obfuscated code, and the whole is only a fraction of the size of comparable packages (for example, 293 total lines vs 1021 for Monolog).
Archipel is a solution to manage and supervise virtual machines. No matter if you have a few locally on your computer or thousands through data centers, Archipel is a central solution to manage them all. You can use all libvirt-supported virtualization engines like KVM, Xen, OpenVZ, or VMWare. You can perform all basic virtualization commands and many other things like live migration, VMCasts, packages, etc. Archipel uses XMPP for all communication. There is no Web service or custom protocol. You just need at least one XMPP server, like eJabberd, to start playing with it. This allows Archipel to work completely in real time. You never have to refresh the user interface. You'll be notified as soon as something happens. You can even use your favorite chat clients to command your infrastructure. You can open a chat conversation with your virtual machine and say things like "How are you today?" or "Hey, please reboot."
AstroStack is an easy-to-use astronomical imaging and processing tool geared towards the use of inexpensive webcam CCDs. It provides a very tunable environment to produce the best quality images. It supports the following features: tunable webcam sampling; image stacking (averaging, additive etc.); pre and post-capture gamma (brightness) and contrast correction; dark-shot CCD calibration (subtractive); and an internal 16-bit grey-scale format for optimal resolution.
Beneath A Binary Sky is an engine that simulates a world in which robots controlled by programs can live, work, fight, and even bear new children. The long-term goal of the project is to create a fully configurable engine that can simulates any kind of world, from simple to complex ones with many rules and events.
Canvas Events is an object that can emulate mouse events on canvas elements. It extends the HTML 5 canvas context object for a given canvas element, and can register event handlers to be called when mouse events on the canvas element occur. Currently, it supports the events click, dblclick, mouseover, mouseout, mousemove, mouseup, and mousedown events.
Colubris helps small creative teams track projects and clients. It focuses on Budgets, agreements between your team and your client to pay you money for your work. It helps your developer or design team focus on projects which are profitable and prevent you from doing any "extra" or "free" work. It is developed in Agile Toolkit and can be customized to your own needs or workflow.
District Builder is a software application designed to give the public transparent, accessible, and easy-to-use mapping tools to draw the boundaries of their communities or to generate redistricting plans for their state and localities. The drawing of electoral districts is among the least transparent processes in democratic governance. All too often, redistricting authorities maintain power by obstructing public participation. The resulting districts embody the goals of politicians to the detriment of the representational interests of communities and the public at large. With District Builder, the public has the capacity to create and submit district plans for municipal, county, and state governments, support redistricting competitions, and keep the entire process open. In addition to legislative redistricting, District Builder's flexibility accommodates school districts, police districts, and many other redistricting needs.
Email Address Validator is a PHP class that allows the developer to validate email addresses according to the RFC 5321 or RFC 5322 standards. It can also check to see if the domain can be resolved to MX RRs. Acceptable local-parts include dot-atom, quoted string, and obsolete. Acceptable domains include domain name, IPv4 address, IPv6 address, and IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. Folding white spaces and nested comments are also supported.

Periodontal disease can be diagnosed during a regular dental examination. Your dentist will perform a careful survey of the appearance of your gums, check each tooth for looseness, and use a probe to identify and measure any spaces, known as pockets, which may have formed between your gums and teeth. In periodontal disease, these pockets will measure more than 3 millimeters (mm) in depth. Your dentist may also do a dental x-ray. This type of x-ray can reveal whether or not the bones that support your teeth show signs of deterioration. Evidence of bone loss around teeth is one of the signs of more advanced periodontal disease.

Intel leapfrogs ARM (for now) with Atom server SoC
20 comments
SAN JOSE, Calif. Leaping ahead of a growing onslaught of ARM server SoCs, Intel Corp. rolled out its dual-core, 64-bit Atom enterprise SoC, claiming 20 design wins in microservers, comms and storage. It also said it will pack an Ethernet fabric on to its next-generation, Avoton, a 22-nm chip shipping in 2013 that is expected to use out-of-order cores for greater performance.
The move puts Intel well ahead of a half-dozen ARM-based competitors, none of which will have 64-bit chips until sometime in 2013. Even those who have working 32-bit chips now have far fewer design wins.
Intel claims the new S1200 chip, dubbed Centerton, displaces the PowerPC in a comms control plane design and ARM in a storage system. The design wins span a range of top-tier OEMs to little known names, including Accusys, CETC, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Huawei, Inspur, Microsan, Qsan, Quanta, Supermicro and Wiwynn.
The battle is only just begun. ARM server SoC backers now include Advanced Micro Devices, Applied Micro, Cavium, Calxeda, Nvidia and Samsung. In addition, Freescale, LSI and Cavium are moving toward ARM cores for server and storage SoCs, joining Texas Instruments.
Many in the ARM camp have committed to 64-bit products which likely won't enter volume production until 2014. Intel vowed to provide annual upgrades of its new Atom enterprise SoC line, including a 14-nm part to come as early as 2014.
This doesnt have a big impact on the ARM 64-bit players because they have developed their road maps with Intels Centerton and Avoton in mind, said Patrick Moorhead, principal of Moor Insights and Strategy (Austin, Texas). The new Atom chip, will not be lowest power or densest solution compared with ARM-based solutions from Calxeda, Applied Micro or AMD, he added.

All graduates are teachersDecember 17, 2011
No matter what degree they earned, all Emporia State University graduates are teachers, Dr. J. Richard Schrock told new graduates during commencement exercises Saturday, Dec. 17, 2011
Schrock, ESU's 2011 Roe R. Cross Distinguished Professor, delivered the commencement address at White Auditorium in Emporia. More than 550 students were candidates for bachelor's and master's degrees during the winter 2011 ceremony.
"All of you will become the most important teacher to your children," Schrock told the graduates. "If you go to work in a cubicle or a factory, what you have learned about ethics, honesty, work, study and character will stay with you, and you are a teacher to others."
That teaching is important, Schrock said, as he related to the graduates a memory when he started his undergraduate career in 1964. His brother, eight years his elder, made a point of taking Schrock's course catalog and crossing out names of professors and instructors to avoid while circling even more.
"You take these professors whenever you have the opportunity," Schrock's older brother advised. "You take teachers not courses."
Schrock went on to tell of Dr. Otis J. Aggertt, who singled the freshman out on his first day of classes at Indiana State University. Aggertt moved the freshman Schrock to the senior debate team. Throughout his college career, Schrock said, Aggertt was his mentor.
A professor in ESU's biology department, Schrock encouraged the new graduates to pass along their knowledge to others they discover plan to attend Emporia State University.
Take the list of faculty names, Schrock said, and circle them while offering the following advice:
"These are the teachers you should take," Schrock said. "These are the teachers who will change your life.
"You take teachers not courses."

It is Jundo's question that is intimate for me..
Could/can you still manage to diligently and sincerely pursue the activities nonetheless (like Bodhidharma so diligently sitting for so long) working toward its successful accomplishment?
Is this just "going with the flow"? I don't think so. Some things require the rousing of energy and inspiration on demand, placing this against that, and putting our backs into it. There are times when....in all honesty... denying that an outcome is deeply important to us, is just kidding ourselves. So can there still be that fully human passion ...that total involvement, and "Great Space Nothing Holy"...... at once ? That is what this is about for me, it has to be. It is all fine on the cushion, or on retreat where I just follow a schedule. But in a life of many responsibilities that must be met every day...

Client-side Security Exit for DTCC (SX4DTCC) is a solution that allows a company to perform verification with a DTCC (Depository Trust Clearing Corporation) queue manager. It operates with WebSphere MQ 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, or 7.5 in Windows, Unix, IBM i, and Linux environments. It works with Sender, Server, and Cluster-Sender channels of WebSphere MQ queue manager.
MQ Set UserID (MQSUI) is a new solution that allows a company the ability to explicitly set a UserID via a MQ Channel's Send, Receive, or Message Exit. It operates with WebSphere MQ 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, or 7.5 in Windows, Unix, IBM i, and Linux environments, and works with Server Connection, Receiver, Cluster-Receiver, and Cluster-Sender channels of WebSphere MQ queue manager.
MQ Channel Auto Creation Manager (MQCACM) is an MQ Channel Auto-Definition (MQ CHAD) exit which allows a company to control and restrict incoming connection requests to auto-create a channel. MQCACM is invoked when a request is received to start an undefined Receiver, Server-Connection, Cluster-Receiver, or Cluster-Sender channel. MQCACM can modify or clear the supplied default channel definition values for an instance of the channel, so there is no exit incompatibility (cross-platform or otherwise).
dbf is an easy-to-use command line tool to show and convert the content of dBASE III, IV, and 5.0 files, as well as of FoxBase and Visual FoxPro. It reads xBASE-compatible databases and prints the content to the screen or converts it to comma-separated (*.csv) files which can be opened in Excel, StarOffice, and most other spread sheets. It can also be used to show some statistics about the content.
GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or using remote computers. A job is typically a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. If you use xargs today you will find GNU parallel very easy to use, as GNU parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU parallel as input for other programs.

Miracles Platform
The Fit Expert
Keith from our store says:
Amazing supportive pitch with slightly narrow toes.
Whether you're walking on water, or learning the Cha Cha Cha, Miracles happen every day (at least they do here at Fluevog). The Bunford is a simple slingback infused with playful triangular shaped patterns and pop sensibilities inspired by stained glass windows. A two tone colour contrast between the upper and the platform adds a sense of drama and suspense. Created in a Peruvian factory that has a reputation for outstanding quality and craftsmanship, the Bunford slingback features 4" leather wrapped heels, supple Argentinian leathers built on a comfy 1" platform, and a foot molding leather sole that will ensure you reflect all jealous glares as you glide across the dance floor. Practice the daily Miracle of giving.
Watch the creation of a Fluevog Miracle!

Amazing supportive pitch with slightly narrow toes.
Great staff, great shoes!
A quick note on sizing: I usually wear an 11. (Malibran; Mini Gorgeous; Summertime heels; the list goes on and on...) I wear an 11.5 in a couple (Erika; Promise Hope) and a 10.5 in a couple (Zaza). My feet are kind of wide. These fit well in a 10.5. The length is perfect. The back strap doesn't feel like it's wanting to fall off, and although the front feels initially a little tight, even while I'm just wearing them around my apartment I can tell the leather is loosening up.

How to develop Z-Wave devices
5 comments
Z-Wave is an international standard for wireless communication in smart homes. It is based on ITU G.9959 specification and defines all aspects of the communication to ensure interoperability of devices implementing the protocol. This article describes the development process for hardware, SoC firmware, host communication and the certification and gives a good overview how to get started developing products for the Z-Wave ecosystem.
1. What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave has become the new star on the horizon of smart home technology with now more than 700 interoperable devices in the market. It opens a great opportunity for newcomers to add smart and new ideas to this large ecosystem of interoperable products and leverages the existing installed base.
This article describes the development process and the tools available to design and test Z-Wave compatible devices. Technically, Z-Wave is a specification for a low bit-rate communication protocol that allows different devices in buildings to communicate with each other wirelessly. These devices include fix-installed gear such as light switches and heating control, mobile devices such as remote controls and also gateways to Internet-based services on mobile phones or in the Internet. The specification covers all aspects of the communication from the radio layer up to the way devices generate events and execute actions. Only devices with complete implementations of all aspects of the communication protocol are called Z-Wave compatible or short a Z-Wave certified device.
2. Hardware
To support the Z-Wave radio layer a special Z-Wave transceiver hardware is needed. The main supplier for this transceiver is the US company Sigma Designs. A second supplier, Mitsumi Corporation, offers a function and pin compatible silicon [Mitsumi2012]. The current chip generation of Sigma Designs is called Series 400 with the ZM4101 as standard component. Sigma or Mitsumi do not sell separate radio transceivers but the radio as one part of a whole SOC. The radio transceiver is available as a chip to very high volume applications where it can be embedded in the base designs but most customers purchase a SOC that integrates all functions of a computing system with radio interface:
CPU Core, compatible to 8051

The absence of women in tech is not a recent phenomenon, nor is it isolated to any specific region. Whether it be lack of opportunity, exposure, and even discrimination, female coders and engineers are unfortunately few and far between when compared to their male counterparts.
In a recent article from ChicagoBusiness.com, Katherine Raz explores a different angle what's really going on with female entrepreneurs. Although her insights are based in Chicago, the issue is universally applicable.
She says, perhaps it's the "entrepreneurial space that's the problem".
"Many female business owners I know don't have MBAs or a network of potential investors. They're not developers and don't know any. And they're not interested in making their businesses "massively scalable." Most women I know actually think a million — not a billion — dollars is cool. They'd like to head a sustainable company that employs eight people and occupies a loft office in Ravenswood where people bring their dogs. But not a lot of angels or venture capitalists are interested in making that happen."
What do you think? Does the fault lie with investors who fail to see the potential in these types of female-run businesses, or is there more to it?
In response to this issue, the Founder Institute implemented the Female Founder Fellowship - a full scholarship given to an outstanding female applicant of each Founder Institute semester. Since launching the program in 2011, FI has seen a 62% global increase in our percentage of female graduates, which has now reached 26% worldwide. Additionally, FI has graduated over 150 female-led companies, many of which are venture and angel backed, including CakeHealth, Zirtual, Fashioning Change, Skimble, Memetales, Ecobold, Kindara, Piggybackr, and 2RedBeans..
If you are a woman interested in launching a tech startup in Chicago, apply for the Female Founder Fellowship today. In order to be eligible for the Fellowship for the Chicago Autumn 2013 Semester, you must complete your application and Admissions Test by the early Application Deadline of 11:59 PM on Sunday, September 22, 2013. Any woman who follows those guidelines will be automatically eligible - no further steps are required. Click here to learn more.

Boutonnière deformity (BD) prevents you from straightening your finger. The disorder affects the finger's system of tendons. The tendons allow you to flex and straighten your finger.
In BD, the tendon on the top of the finger (called the central slip) is torn or cut from the other tendons. This creates a tear that resembles a buttonhole (or boutonnière in French). The first finger joint is forced down and the fingertip bends back at the second joint. The tendons on this part of the finger are flat and thin. They are prone to injury. If you have BD in the thumb, it affects a joint called the metacarpophalangeal (MCP).
BD can be caused by:
- A powerful blow to the finger
- A cut to the finger's central slip
- An injury to the first finger joint—called the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint
- A severe burn on the hand
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of developing BD include:
- Having rheumatoid arthritis or Dupuytren's contracture
- Participating in contact sports, especially those involving catching and throwing balls such as football and basketball
Symptoms may include:
- Pain and swelling on the top of the finger's middle joint—the PIP joint
- Inability to straighten the finger at the middle joint
- Sign of injury (such as fracture or dislocation) to the PIP joint
- Sign of injury (such as fracture or dislocation) to the MCP joint if the thumb is involved
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done, paying close attention to:
- Muscle strength
- Joint damage
- Range of motion
- Presence of swelling
- Evidence of infection
- Tenderness in the finger
An x-ray may be done to see if you have a fracture.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Your doctor may recommend the following medications:
- Corticosteroids—to reduce inflammation
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—to reduce pain and inflammation
Nonsurgical Approaches
For milder cases, the treatment is nonsurgical and may involve:
- Applied to the middle joint to fully extend it
- Used for 3-6 weeks
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- Other techniques: massage, ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation
If your finger does not improve, you may need surgery.
Surgery is needed in severe cases. For example, when the tendon is cut or when the deformity has lasted a long time. Surgery generally does not return your finger to the way it was working before the injury. But, you may have some improvement. After surgery, you will have to do exercises to strengthen the finger.
To help reduce your chance of getting BD:
- Wear the proper equipment when playing sports.
- If you have rheumatoid arthritis, ask you doctor about ways to protect your joints.

MONTREAL — The Jewish community should consider levying a "tax" on all Jewish families to offset the rising cost of Jewish day school education, says one of the most experienced administrators in the field.
Evie Blanshay, who was executive director of Hebrew Foundation School (HFS) from 1979 until last year, said in an interview upon her retirement that Jewish families, whether or not they have children in the system, should be asked to contribute to some kind of community-wide fund.
Such a fund, she said, would benefit middle-income parents, in particular, who are increasingly finding it difficult to pay the fees, which at HFS, an elementary school in Dollard des Ormeaux, are now $7,000 to $8,000 a year per child.
Blanshay, who is continuing to serve the school as a consultant, said Jewish education should be regarded as a benefit to the community as a whole, and therefore the responsibility of all its members.
"The finances are a huge obstacle, especially if you have two or three or four children. The low-income are helped and the rich don't need it. It's the middle income that is being squeezed," she said.
"And time is of the essence. Every year that [assistance is unavailable], another child goes without a Jewish education."
She believes many parents are not sending their children to a Jewish day school, or at least not enrolling them in a Jewish high school after they graduate from elementary, for financial reasons.
HFS is the only Jewish day school on the West Island, an area commonly described as a growing, younger community.
Yet, HFS' enrolment has declined from a peak of "well over 500" to 325 today, she said. The former figure included the nursery, which was an integral part of the school at that time, while the latter does not include the $7-a-day centre de la petite enfance, housed at the school.
Money is not the only obstacle, she acknowledges. "There is not the same commitment among parents to Jewish education that there was 30 years ago," she said. "In my day, there were three things you did first: get a roof over your head, put food on the table, and provide your children with a Jewish education…
"People today are not prepared to give up everything for a Jewish education. Many think an afternoon school or tutoring one or two hours a week are enough."
She emphatically does not agree.
The situation is likely only to worsen, because teachers at most Jewish schools are unionized, she said, and are paid salaries that are line with those of their public sector counterparts.
"Salaries account for 85 to 90 per cent of the budget. And there is no tax break for parents, except for a little on Judaic studies in federal taxes."
Blanshay thinks that having a Jewish high school on the West Island would reduce the current enrolment falloff after elementary school, and she regrets that Federation CJA's plan to open a high school fell through in 2011.
At one time, about two-thirds of HFS graduates went on to a Jewish high school, mostly Herzliah High School in St. Laurent, which is now closed, said Blanshay. Today, 20 to 30 per cent do so, and that's an improvement over a few years ago, she said.
A large number go to the private West Island College, even though there is bus transportation to Herzliah's Snowdon campus and Bialik High School in Côte St. Luc.
Tribute will be paid to Blanshay, who continues to work for HFS as a consultant, the evening of March 12 at Congregation Beth Tikvah at 7:15 p.m. It will begin with light hors d'oeuvres, followed by presentations and entertainment, and ending with a sweet table.
Messages to Blanshay may be sent online through the school's website at www.hfs.qc.ca, or call 514-684-6270 for information. The Evie Blanshay Tuition Assistance Fund, to help needy HFS students, has been established to commemorate her long and distinguished leadership. About 15 per cent of HFS students receive subsidies.
Blanshay, whose training is in social work, has been associated with HFS since 1970. When the elder of her two sons began going there, she started volunteering, and served as president before becoming executive director.
HFS began in 1965 with 10 children as a nursery school affiliated with Beth Tikvah, added a kindergarten in 1969 and a grade each year thereafter. By 1972, it had its own premises, which were expanded several times until 1989.
Despite its history with the Orthodox synagogue, HFS is open to Jewish families of all backgrounds.
In line with Blanshay's strong conviction that a day school Jewish education should be available to all Jewish children, HFS has for many years run a program for those with learning disabilities as a satellite of Vanguard School. The children attend regular classes at HFS, with remedial instruction by special education teachers.
HFS was a pioneer in French immersion school in the 1970s. Today, students in grades 1 through 3 receive only one hour a week of English instruction, which jumps to 7-1/2 hours after that.
This year, Blanshay is helping the school achieve accreditation with the Canadian Educational Standards Institute, an organization that evaluates independent schools, and is involved in contract talks with the teachers' union.
"I'm still working five days a week," said Blanshay, who hopes to continue to serve the school after this year. "Although it would be nice to have a day off."
Blanshay has had a major influence on teachers, parents and students over the years, and enjoys widespread esteem.
Marlene Weinstein, HFS' learning centre co-ordinator, who began teaching at the school in 1981, described Blanshay as a person with "a phenomenal sense of morality and an acute judgment, who commands respect."
Yet, despite her "prim and proper, soft-spoken" persona, "she has a crazy sense of humour."
The low turnover of teachers may be attributed to her support to the staff. "She is always there as a sounding board, in good times and bad. She's really, really fair. She's a mensch," said Weinstein.
Parent Renana Chemtov, a past president who worked closely with Blanshay for some 20 years as a volunteer, said, "she embodies what a Jewish educational leader should be… For her, 'every Jewish child deserves a Jewish education' is not just a slogan.
"She has done all in her power, and then some, to give the gift of Jewish education to as many as possible… She's my mentor."
Today's youngsters think enough of her to help raise money for the scholarship fund in Blanshay's name.
Students in kindergarten through Grade 3 are skipping rope and the older ones are shooting hoops for donations, which they will hand over at the March 12 tribute.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Blood pressure is a measure of how hard the blood pushes against the walls of your arteries as it moves through your body. Blood pressure readings consist of an upper number and a lower number (such as 120 over 90 or 120/90). High blood pressure is 140/90 or higher.
When blood pressure is high, it starts to damage the blood vessels, heart, and kidneys. This can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other problems.
High blood pressure is also called hypertension. It can be managed with lifestyle changes and medicines.

Scottie Wilbekin only had 36 hours to prepare for the SEC Preseason Player of the Year. He even had a few papers to write.
Scottie Wilbekin only had 36 hours to prepare for the SEC Preseason Player of the Year. He even had a few papers to write.
Still, that was enough time for Wilbekin to not only shut down Missouri point guard Phil Pressey, but to put together his best overall performance as a Gator in Florida's 83-52 win over Missouri.
"Every time I'm playing against somebody who's obviously a well-known, good player is a personal challenge for me, but it's also a challenge for the rest of the team," said Wilbekin, who got the bulk of the assignment against Pressey, forcing him into a career-high 10 turnovers. "Each player holds each other accountable."
Just two days after holding Texas A&M's Elston Turner to four points on 1-for-10 shooting, Wilbekin's pesky defense left Pressey with only two points on 1-for-7 shooting.
"Scottie's really good. I played with him in AAU. I played against him in high school," said junior forward Will Yeguete. "I think it's a whole team effort (defensively), and it starts with Scottie obviously."
The offense was also sparked by Wilbekin on Saturday, starting with his bucket that came four seconds into the contest. The junior went on to record his first career double-double with 13 points on 6-for-8 shooting with 10 assists.
The Gainesville native did it all, whether it was tossing an alley-oop to Patric Young, whipping a cross-court pass to a wide-open Mike Rosario for a 3-pointer, taking it to the hoop for points himself or bottling up one of the SEC's elite point guards.
And with about six minutes to go, Wilbekin officially turned the O'Dome into what he later called "a rock concert."
His acrobatic layup on a fast break brought the sold-out O'Connell Center crowd of 12,597 to its feet. Thirty seconds later, the decibel level peaked when Wilbekin took his third steal of the game up the floor and dished his final assist to Yeguete, who threw it down with two hands.
"Other teams can take it however they want," Wilbekin said. "All I know is they're going to get a great effort when they play us, and they're going to get five guys tuned in on defense and locked in and ready to play the right way."
