Who needs a Food Handlers Certificate?
Food is a basic need that everyone needs to live and survive. As such, there are safety measures that are related to any food handler since it goes into your stomach and body. There are food safety programs that are available for people who plan to deal with and work in areas of food. The food handling certificate is a course (Accredited Food Handlers Certificate SITXOHS002A Follow workplace hygiene procedures) that is best suited to help people meet the legal obligations that are related to food safety. It is an important course for staff working in the food industry or any place where there is handling of food before it is served, especially to customers or clients. This food handling certificate is required in most states of Australia.
There is an online food handlers certificate that is meant to help those who cannot go for the physical classes. This program may take a shorter time as you potentially can do the food handling certificate from home. The food handlers certificate is typically completed in 2-4 hours. It has questions that you have to answer at the end of each quiz and upon completion, you can download proof of competency and a nationally accredited food handling certificate is posted to you in the mail. The process of getting a food handlers certificate is therefore quite straightforward.
This online Food Handling course can be paid for using the credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard or American These are available in different languages therefore you can choose the one that you are comfortable with. Express or by other methods as found on the website. This program provides the curriculum and testing methods that are valid for the food handling certificate. It has a food safety manual and materials for testing. Within the food handlers certificate course, text is narrated as well appearing in written form, therefore this may be helpful for people from non-English speaking backgrounds.
There are some basics for the food handlers certificate online that help to ensure that you are competent. Some of these basics include the fact that you have unlimited attempts at each quiz. Questions for the food handlers certificate come from a random bank so if you don't get the answer right at first there is no need to worry, you just attempt the quiz again. You need to get 90 percent in all the quizzes in order to pass the course and your highest attempt is always recorded. The length of time it takes to complete the food handling course varies from 2 to 4 hours depending upon your skill, experience and computer literacy. You have 90 days to complete the course from your first login.
You don't need to complete the online food handling certificate in one session. You may decide to save the progress you make anytime you answer the questions. The course is divided up into a series of modules and we advise you to aim to finish the food handlers module once you start one (each module lasts for approximately 10-15 minutes). Each of the food safety modules has a presentation and quiz that has to be completed. There is a function that allows you to pause in case you are unable to complete the session and therefore you can resume when you come back. The food handlers certificate is open to anyone who handles food.

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the daughter of a World War II veteran, today released the following statement on the announcement by the Department of Defense that they are seeking to eliminate a commander's authority to modify the findings of a court-martial:
"This is a big win for survivors of sexual assault in the military, and for the causes of justice and accountability. A commander who has not listened to the testimony should not be able to unilaterally overturn a jury verdict or change an offender's sentence without explanation-and it's great news that Secretary Hagel agrees. I look forward to working with the Secretary and others to pass this crucial legislation that prevents this kind of abuse of authority."
In response to a recent sexual assault case at Aviano Air Base in Italy, McCaskill grilled military leaders in two Senate hearings, and subsequently introduced legislation that would curtail the authority of military commanders to dismiss jury convictions against sex offenders. McCaskill's bill would also require written justifications when sentences are lessened or commuted, a requirement also endorsed today by Secretary Hagel.
McCaskill previously took action to respond to reports of sexual assault occurring at Fort Leonard Wood that were detailed in a St. Louis Post-Dispatch investigation. McCaskill won inclusion of provisions in the 2012 and 2013 National Defense Authorization Acts designed to improve the military's response to sexual assault and encourage the services to adopt training for sexual assault investigators developed at the Army's Military Police School at Fort Leonard Wood.

Doctor responds to letter-writers
I love letters. Good letters are the best, but push-back letters give me a chance to reflect on my opinions. I thought I'd share two of them with you today, along with my follow-up comments. They have been edited for brevity but still keep with the spirit of the letter-writers.
Dear Dr. Paster: On behalf of the Florida Department of Citrus, I am writing in response to recent comments you made on TV equating orange juice with Coke.
While we appreciate the viewpoint on calories, it is important to recognize the distinction between nutrient-dense 100 percent orange juice and grapefruit juice, and sugar-sweetened beverages like soda that contain few, if any, nutrients. As a fellow health professional, I wanted to clarify this.
– GR, registered dietitian, University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences
A: This letter makes a good point. Orange juice is a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and other vitamins and minerals. Taken in moderate quantities, it's a good food. But you can't ignore the calorie issue – 20 ounces of O.J. clocks in at 300 calories, while the same amount of Coke is actually a bit less, at 240.
My mom would give me a glass of juice every morning. That was a 6-ounce tumbler. Juices in moderation are fine, with orange and grapefruit so much better than grape. But portion size here is key.
On that same TV interview, I gave my opinion that a piece of fruit is better than juice. That's because fruit has fiber, while juice has little. Which is more satisfying – drinking 8 ounces of orange juice or eating the three or four oranges it takes to make that juice?
If you want to know more about good eating, read Michael Pollan's book "In Defense of Food." You'll love it.
Dear Dr. Paster: It truly bothers me when doctors exaggerate their claims to make a valid point. In your column about the HPV vaccine, you said the vaccine would eliminate cervical cancer. But you must know that the vaccine doesn't kill all strains of HPV, just the most common ones. I think the other strains might just take over.
Also, you said that lifelong lesbians are protected. Well, what if they had sex with a guy when they were younger? You told them not to get a pap test. Bad job doc.
– Dr. B.
A: First off, I think you missed the point of the column. Parents should immunize their children against cancer by getting the human papillomavirus vaccine. Thinking that giving this shot in middle school will encourage them to have sex when they're 16 is just plain bunk. Sex education starts at home, and I can tell you as a parent, it was one of the most difficult conversations I've ever had.
But let me clarify the other issue, the pap test. Pap tests will not become a thing of the past, but we are doing them less and less often because we now understand the risk factors better – that is HPV infection. If we could get rid of 95 percent of the HPV, then we would get rid of nearly all cervical cancer.
I never said not to get a pap test but rather that it might become a thing of the past. And wouldn't that be nice?
Immunize those kids. Stay well.

SAN JOSE Ryane Clowe will not play on Tuesday night when the Sharks host the Columbus Blue Jackets, but it became clear after the teams morning skate that he is out only due to a facial fracture and not a head injury.
Clowe went face first into the glass on Jan. 10 in Minnesota, played in the next three games, and then sat out the teams five games leading up to the All-Star break.
When I came off the ice when it happened in Minnesota, thats what they asked me afterward when they knew there was something wrong, Clowe said. My nose was bleeding, but I didnt feel anything like that. I know I struck my face off the boards, but as far as my head and all that, that felt good. Right away, I had no issues with that. We flew after the game and that was fine.
PREVIEW: Sharks-Blue Jackets, what to watch for
Clowe had not had any sort of baseline concussion test, and flew home to Newfoundland over the break.
He would like to play on Thursday night against Dallas.
I feel good, he said. I just want another day of skating tomorrow, and I think I should be good to go.
He would also like to make sure he can return without wearing a cage, as he did in the three subsequent games after the hit before he removed it midway through the Sharks game in Chicago on Jan. 15.
In other words, he doesnt want to have any anxiety caused by possibly re-injuring himself.
I guess the biggest worry is just getting hit there again, he said. I dont want to wear a cage obviously when I come back. I want to make sure if I do get hit there or if something happens like a fight and I get punched there, its alright, and Im not out another few weeks.
Another factor in the decision to wait at least one more game is that Clowe had not skated in two weeks before Mondays practice, and needs to get his game legs back.
Todd McLellan said: We want to make sure when he does go in, hes ready to play and play the way he can.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against qualified applicants on the basis of a physical or mental disability. As of 1994, the act applies to all employers with 15 or more employees.
Before you make a job offer, the ADA allows you to ask questions about an applicant's ability to perform job functions but prohibits you from inquiring about a specific disability. Nor can you ask questions that are likely to reveal a disability. For example, don't ask an applicant what prescription drugs he or she takes; the answer may reveal a disability, such as diabetes or depression.
Also, you can't ask whether the applicant is participating in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program. Participation in such programs is protected by the ADA. You can, however, ask if the applicant is using any illegal drugs because the law doesn't protect current users of illegal drugs.
You may test applicants for either physical or mental capacity to perform the job. Be sure to explain the test to the applicant ahead of time. If the applicant reveals a disability, you may ask if he or she requires an accommodation. If so, you and the applicant should determine together what reasonable accommodation is appropriate.
The key point to remember: The test must have a business necessity. Usually, this means that the test is gauging the candidate's ability to perform an essential function of the job. Consequently, any accommodation for testing should be similar to what would be available to the person performing the job on a regular basis. Employers should keep this in mind when discussing reasonable accommodations for tests.
Note: Federal contractors and subcontractors that are covered by the affirmative action requirements of Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act can ask individuals with disabilities to identify themselves on a job application form or by other pre-employment inquiry, to satisfy the affirmative action requirements of that section.

This week our lectionary guide leaves us a while longer in the wilderness. Be still for a while. Breathe in the silence. Listen: a voice sounds:
'Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight.
Every valley shall be filled,
and every mountain and hill
shall be made low,
and the crooked shall be made
and the rough ways made
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' Luke 3:4-6 NRSV
It is John the Baptist, speaking then, and speaking now: calling us to clear the road of all the clutter which gets in the way. Clutter which may be hidden behind bright lights and the urge to buy. (After all, Christmas is about gifts, isn't it?) But the clutter can get in the way of God's coming among us. When the King of heaven comes, our pedigree will not help us here; no special name cards and seats at the banquet because we were born into the right family and faith tradition. Pointing to the stones on the ground, and in the bed of the river, John reminds us all that "God is able from these stones to raise up children . . . "
If our family history cannot help us, then what do we need? What must we do to be ready, to see the salvation of our God? To be rescued by God from the clutches and trauma of the world's ways?
As we wait on the banks of the river, we realize that baptism is a beginning. This ritual of entering into the water, being washed, dying to our past way of living and rising to new life (Romans 6:1-4) and being indwelt by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit – as the water is poured over our body – does prepare us for Jesus' coming. Jesus comes in countless ways, and moves to greater and greater depth within our person and being. Here we begin to know the presence and peace of God which invades our heart, surpasses all understanding, and which guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7)
This baptism – and each renewal of our baptism — carries all this meaning – the action of God within us. What does this presence and work of God within us look like?
That is the question of the crowd, the tax collectors, and the military. John knows the poverty of the masses: how little they earn, and how much they are taxed, how hungry they are when the harvest is not good, and how few clothes children, men, and women have to wear. To them he says, "Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise."
In this way we clear the way for the coming of Jesus, and enter into Jesus' work to "save the lame and gather the outcast" and "change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth." (Zephaniah 3:19)
To the tax collectors – those who collected taxes from the Israelites to pay the Roman occupation political and military machine, and who demanded more than was required to line their own pockets – John says: "Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you." They are to turn from their greed, to be honest and fair, and not to use their office for their own gain.
To the military John says, "Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages." Again, a call to turn from greed and mis-use of power. And a reminder to learn to be satisfied with what they do receive in the way of earnings.
These tangible, but life-changing changes are just a beginning. But such actions of generosity, turning from greed, and being content with less, are ways in which we become awake to Jesus' coming. We are prepared to meet and welcome him in the many ways in which he comes–beyond his birth in the manger in Bethlehem.
This baptismal turning results in basic change of how we see others, and how we loosen our grip on things, money, and power.
This week, pay attention to how the Spirit of Jesus addresses you as you ask, "What then should I do?" Notice how you respond, and what changes within you as you do.
Lord Jesus,
You come to us
In the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Help me to be present to you –
To be with you,
To listen —
With the ears of my heart.
Continue to free me from the stuff of this world which holds me captive.
Lead me in your Way of life.

O Holy Night
- Artist: Elizabeth
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 12/18/2007
|your cart is empty
'Elizabeth', the latest singing sensation from Tulsa, Oklahoma, is comprised of Bet Wallace and her daughter, Ashtyn. They share the same middle name, Elizabeth, which means, "set-apart", 'Consecrated to God' or 'dedicated to God'. The Wallaces have each been singing their entire lives but didn't start singing together until Ashtyn's junior year in high school. Ashtyn was already singing her heart out at the age of three when she could sing all the lyrics to all the songs from Les Miserables. As she grew up she sang and acted in various musical productions, and during high school, Ashtyn sang with the four-girl singing group, American Girlz. The girls traveled extensively and performed over 200 shows in a two-year period. During that time Ashtyn wrote and helped arrange several songs for their CD, American Girlz, Live! The girls were also featured on the first Tulsa's Best and Brightest CD. Ashtyn now resides in Nashville where she is pursuing a career in the music business and is currently working on a demo CD. Bet Wallace has been singing and performing her entire life, as well. From her first performance of "O Holy Night" as a nine year old at the Christmas Eve service at a church in Oklahoma City, to her current position as a worship leader in a large church in Tulsa, OK, Bet has sung in many different musical genres, and in all types of musical settings, her favorite, of course, being with her daughter, Ashtyn. She previously released a solo album, What Wondrous Love, and had a recording contract in the 70's with Midland International Records. It was during this time that the pop single, Shauna was released under the name of 'Elizabeth Jane'. Bet resides in Tulsa with her fifteen year old son, Sam. She owns and operates a music studio where she teaches voice and piano. Last Christmas Eve, Bet and Ashtyn sang "O Holy Night" together and were later approached by Jeff Glendening, a member of their church about sponsoring a recording project for them. His vision was to find a way for the rest of the world to have the privilege of hearing the Wallaces sing. After deciding on the name, Elizabeth, they recorded "O Holy Night" because of it's audience appeal and it's ability to cross-over into almost any music genre at this time of year. They added two other songs, "Serving You", for Christian and Adult Contemporary markets, and "I Don't Wanna Go", for Country, Adult Contemporary, and Christian markets. Elizabeth's ultimate goal is to touch lives with their voices, knowing full-well that their "DNA blend" is God-given. They hope their lives will reflect the meaning of their name and that their music will be a shining light to others in a sometimes dark world.

Every year in early March, judges who will be meet referees for the six NCAA women's gymnastics regionals in April get together via teleconference and clarify the way postseason routines will be judged.
Then they send out letters to coaches letting them know specific things they'll expect.
This year's clarifications, received by coaches last Friday, lit a little extra fire in the Ute camp.
No. 2-ranked Utah, which is at No. 3 Florida Friday night for its final road meet of the regular season, has made a number of changes in its floor exercise routines over the season, tweaking first and last passes to ensure the highest degree of difficulty to comply with the new code of points for this season.
As they upgraded first and last passes, several gymnasts did lighter middle passes under the impression that, since they got bonus points for connecting two "B" level skills, they were fulfilling requirements. Gritt Hofmann, Ashley Postell and Nicolle Ford have always planned on upgrading their middle passes once they perfected the other two.
The clarification, however, says judges will take compositional deductions for any pass not containing at least a "C" skill, even though connected "Bs" are bonus. Passes don't have to have bonuses, just "Cs," said Ute associate head coach Megan Marsden.
This adds urgency to Utah's upgrades, and they began on them in earnest in practice Sunday, knowing they have only two regular-season meets left to compete the upgraded passes and learn how judges will accept them, Marsden said.
A couple of Utes also changed some of their floor routines three weeks ago because a judge said she preferred a balance of dance and acrobatic skills rather than an acro-heavy routine.
Recently Utah, known for its finesse and clean lines, has recruited more power gymnasts to elevate its tumbling.
"We know that tumbling has been a weakness of ours in the past up against the other top teams," said Megan Marsden. "This year one of our goals was to set about addressing that. We felt that it was important to do that in a progressive manner." She said her husband, head coach Greg Marsden, didn't want athletes "pushing the envelope" every week for 14 weeks, so it's been a gradual process.
Greg Marsden is, however, allowing power athletes like Postell to make more errors while perfecting big-skill routines. Postell had a preseason elbow injury that kept her from training until the season started, so she's had to get back into competitive shape on the job.
With falls and some unexpected deductions from judges like the one who wanted dance/acro balance, the Utes this week found themselves in an unaccustomed spot shut out of the individual floor rankings and standing ninth nationally as a team in that event. They were 12th last week in floor but had an individual ranked.
They're not used to that, but they're taking it in stride.
"In our process of getting where we ultimately want to be," said Megan Marsden, "it's cost us some consistency, and it's also cost us some high scores with some routines that didn't have tumbling that we ultimately plan to use.Comment on this story
"It's because we've had some inconsistencies," Greg Marsden said. "Ashley went through that (falling) spell, otherwise I think she could be there." Nicolle Ford and Kristina Baskett "have been off and on" and Hofmann has stepped out of bounds a time or two for deductions.
"Those four people are very competitive on floor with anybody, and it's just a matter of being more consistent and cleaner," Marsden said.
Nina Kim is also working on an upgrade to her routine. "We're just as good as the other teams, just we're not doing it all just yet," she said. "We're still working on it."
She said she's upgrading because she wants to, and so are others."As long as I can hit it and score big, why not?" said Hofmann.

Is there a way to calculate these two quantities if I'm throwing two twelve sided die and adding the results that's easier than going through all possible combination and their probabilities?
Look at this webpage
Scroll down to the fully expanded form of the expression.
That gives you all the impossibles.
For example the term tells us that there eleven ways to roll a sum of fourteen. So the probability is of getting a sum of fourteen.

Constructing new learning opportunities: Using mobile learning for technical vocational education and training (TVET)
Mr Borhène Chakroun | Presentation (PDF)
UNESCO's researches and consultations, for example through UNESCO-UNEVOC Network, in the field of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) have identified TVET teachers and trainers professionalization, pedagogical development and decentralisation as important factors for the improvement of teaching and learning in TVET. While it is possible for top-down reform to create conditions that encourage the development of these factors, international experiences suggest that top-down and bottom-up initiatives must be combined.
UNESCO researches also show that the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), web-based and mobile technology for TVET teachers and trainers training is expanding. Increasingly, there are a variety of initiatives being explored across the regions and recent experience of implementation and its challenges.
Using web-based resources and mobile learning is important in building networks and sharing resources. There is also a case to invest further in networks that encourage communication through mobile technologies. The development of such networks offers a way to empower dynamic TVET teachers that have the ambition to shape their professions. Providing support for such network could represent an efficient policy investment.
It is therefore important to explore options for initiatives that directly support TVET teachers and trainers and their leaders at the level of schools, colleges, training centres and units. There is also considerable potential for the development and sharing of mobile learning resources nationally and across regions. However, there is a need to enable teachers and trainers to make use of this powerful new medium.
The audience can share its own experiences, initiatives and lessons learned while helping to identify promising practices and relevant initiatives in this field.
Borhène Chakroun is an engineer with a PhD in Education Sciences from Bourgogne University in France. His academic work focuses on the certification and validation of prior learning. During the 1990s, Borhène worked as a trainer, chief trainer and VET project manager.

Why aren't your hydrangea blooming this year and more August garden chores
With the month of August now upon us there are several things you can and should be doing around your gardens and lawns. Let's start with lawns.
It's been a year with adequate moisture for many of us. If you are reading this in a year when there is drought or a lack of regular rainfall you will likely need to be watering quite a bit. Containers still need to be watered regularly, but those in the shade might not need it daily anymore. Check the soil with your fingers a couple of inches into the pot.
I still feed my container plants this time of the year with a good liquid fertilizer and a small amount of a granular fertilizer as well. If you put your plants in over 3 months ago many of the time release fertilizers might have stopped working.
Late this month you can start to think about reseeding or overseeding the lawn. It's still too early and the sun is still going to dry out the soil too quickly. There is likely some crabgrass in the lawn this time of year. Rather than spraying with a chemical try pulling it out by hand. If you do this a bit each day you can often remove a lot of the grass without synthetic chemicals which are harmful the environment and you. Keep your lawn cut to 3 to 3.5 inches. This will help prevent weed seeds from germinating in the lawn.
Many you have asked about why your hydrangeas are not blooming so well this year. There are all sorts of varieties of these plants, but largely there are two groups of blooming habit. Some hydrangea bloom on old wood (last year's growth) and some bloom on new wood (this year's growth). There are hybrids as well that do both. The blue and pink mophead hydrangeas are called macrophylla and bloom mostly on old wood. There are new varieties that bloom on this year's growth as well. Here's the problem. When a plant blooms on old wood it sets the blooms for the following spring in the summer and fall of the previous year. So the blooms for your hydrangea were set in the summer and fall of 2103 and sat on those branches all winter. There are two potential problems for why you have no blooms. First, if you cut the sticks back in the fall or early this spring you removed any chance of blooms this year. More likely if you left the woody growth is that the cold killed the bloom blossoms and thus you have a lot of new growth but little or no flowers.
See more in the video below and feel free to tweet me a question on Twitter @growingwisdom
Assuming this winter isn't as bad, next year will be better. You could also use an anti-desiccant like Wiltpruf on your plants late this fall and again in mid-February. This can help prevent the bloom buds from drying out from the cold. By all means, don't cut the sticks back!
It's not too late to plant lots of things in the garden. You can plant seeds of beets, kales, lettuces, radish, turnip, carrots, choys, peas, beans and even try cucumbers this week. As we get later into the month, put some of these seeds in a container you can easily protect from an early frost. If you plan things right, you'll be able to keep harvesting these things well into October and November.

For Charleston's West Side native Zachery Miller, hometown roots grow long and deep in West Virginia soil.
The old saying, "there's no place like home" rings loud and true for Miller, who decided to come back to where it all started for him in order to launch Kanawha Individual Development Solutions, or K.I.D.S., a community-based educational center.
"I knew this was exactly where I needed to be. I needed to do this on the West Side," Miller said. "It's where I started.
"This is where I'm from. This is where I grew up. This is the community that matters the most to me."
On Oct. 12, K.I.D.S debuted with its grand opening called "Paint the Town," which encouraged kids of all ages to create their own vision of the city alongside local artist Charly Hamilton as he painted his rendition of Charleston's West Side.
Miller said the grand opening "definitely generated some interest" and that people immediately noticed the space, energy and environment of the education center.
The center is open 3-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 2-8 p.m. Sunday. Scheduled visits also are available.
What K.I.D.S offers
K.I.D.S offers standard educational services that include individualized academic coaching, individualized learning assessments, core workshops, learning foundations and homework help.
Miller said educational instruction is based on the individual student's needs and tailored accordingly.
Once inside the center, with its display of artwork and exposed brick walls, students can take advantage of the reading area or sit at a long desk complete with computers to finish homework or a school paper.
For those looking for one-on-one tutoring, sectioned-off cubicles provide privacy and quiet. A conference-style table allows for discussion and exchange of ideas and information.
For the time being, Miller said he and his father will be handling the actual tutoring and will have teachers on standby on a need basis.
"I plan on taking on the first 15 students," Miller said.
Stephanie Johnson, executive director of West Side Main Street, said she is thrilled to have a new business come to the area.
With the combination of unique and traditional businesses, Johnson said K.I.D.S showcases the diversity of the West Side.
"(K.I.D.S) is unique and fits into what we have to offer," she said.
Johnson describes Miller as having abundant enthusiasm and passion, which she said is important in any business endeavor.
"We're glad (Zachary) made the West Side his home," she said.
What is important in education
"I really believe in the individual and I think we're not taught that the individual is powerful," Miller said. "We're not taught the individual has all the tools they need."
He hopes to change that.
Miller said he has always been socially aware and that the issue of education is a social one.
"I consider myself a social entrepreneur because I want to enact social change for the better of my community," he said.
What schools lack, and what he hopes to supplement through the K.I.D.S program, is the one-on-one experience he said is impossible to do in the current school system. Each child's psychology is different and each child develops in his or her own way, Miller said.
That is why individualization is important.
"Granted, in the global society you have to have schools, you have to have these systems, you have to have the socialization, but it's lacking in that individual element," Miller said.
"We need a change, or at least something outside of that, that will fill that need, and that's kind of what I'm here to do."
In addition to being a supplemental source, Miller said K.I.D.S is also an alternative educational source.
"There's issues there that can't be accomplished in the structure that is established," he said. "Forty-nine percent proficiency; that's what I came home to.
"I want to make a change in education. There has to be a new way."
Through K.I.D.S, parents have other additional educational options and the chance to round out any educational gaps they feel may exist.
What about private school?
That's great, Miller said, but it has the potential to cost a lot of money.
"For $25, you can bring a student once a week and really have some supplemental programs that might help them in the long run as opposed to a $15,000 school bill," he said.
Because K.I.D.S is privately funded, Miller said he has more flexibility to change a student's plan if his or her individual needs require it.
"I want to be able to work with a student for that student and, if that night, that student wants to change their plan completely, I don't want to have to answer five or 10 other people before I make that change," he said. "That student's education is in their hands here. And that's what sets us apart.
"It's about them, what they want and need, teaching them that that matters and that's what's going to fuel success."
Inspirational mentors
One person Miller credits with taking time to work with him individually is Mika Elovaara, one of Miller's professors during graduate school at University of North Carolina Wilmington. Miller received his undergraduate degree from Marshall University.
"It's the mentors, the people that came into my life that said, 'That sounds really awesome. Why don't you think about it this way? Why don't you try it out this way?''' Miller said. "It wasn't until I had these one-on-one experiences with these really impressive, educated intelligent people that I really figured out what it meant to learn and what it meant to teach.
"And that's what I really want to bring to this, one-on-one experience that matters."
Another person who has helped Miller achieve his educational goal is his father, who agreed to put some money toward the project.
"He's run several businesses in the past, so he's such an essential part of this," Miller said.
"I see myself as a teacher and really marketing and getting out there and having these products and the supply and demand is so far beyond my line of thinking. Dad is helping with that."
Past experience
In addition to earning a degree in education and becoming a licensed teacher, Miller also tutored for five years.
"I've done the hands-on tutoring thing for a long time," he said.
While at UNCW, Miller participated in student teaching through being a teaching assistant.
For a few semesters, he also worked at an after-school program that focused on illiteracy.
Implementing the plan
"When you put your energy in a place and people collectively put their energy in a place, that produces an effect on that place," Miller said.
While it will take time to build a new business, Miller said he anticipates its peak time coming in either February or March. He said once school is winding down, students may realize extra help might be needed in order to pass their classes.
"My experience with tutoring independently is that if you get one or two clients, word of mouth spreads really fast, especially if you're effective," Miller said. "I basically paid for six months rent.
"I have a year lease, and this is my shot at making a little difference in education."

There's a new viral video making the rounds that has Producer Angie all hot and bothered!
Jillian Pavlica, a news anchor from Huntsville, Alabama, unknowingly became the subject of breaking news when her boyfriend proposed to her live on air.
"We've got breaking news to share with you tonight. FOX54 has just learned that a Huntsville news anchor is being proposed to on live TV right now," she read aloud.
Pavlica accepted, but if Producer Angie were in her shoes, she wouldn't be so thrilled!
Turns out Producer Angie isn't a fan of public proposals.
"I think it's cheesy," she told Carson. "I think it's such a personal moment. Like I said, to each their own. To me, I would hate to be proposed to that way!"
Carson was utterly flabbergasted by this revelation. Take a listen to their debate:
- Do you think the on air proposal was romantic or should that moment be a private affair? Sound off in the comments section!

ESCONDIDO -- The thought had not even crossed Chandra Lukes' mind until after her final swimming race Friday at Jim Stone Pool.
When it finally hit her, the San Pasqual High senior was shocked as memories of a lifetime in that pool came flooding back to her.
After winning four more races in a 112-68 victory over rival Escondido, the Lukes Era in Escondido came to an end after nearly two decades.
"I've been in this pool my whole life,'' Lukes said. "I was born when my older sister was swimming at Escondido, so I've been here since I was born.
"There's not one memory. Just a whole bunch of them. It's only right to make my last meet here against our rival.''
Chandra is the fourth and final sibling to compete in both swimming and water polo. Older sister Simmone went to Escondido, but when the family moved to the other side of town, Alexander and Brienne became Eagles.
"Simmone used to coach at Escondido for a while,'' Chandra said following wins in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100 backstroke, as well as swimming a leg of the winning 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay races. "I used to give her grief about that all the time.''
The Eagles gave the Cougars grief all day long. In addition to the girls' victory, San Pasqual's boys also claimed a 100-70 win.
Cameron Gruwell and Mitchell Huxhold led the way for the boys. Gruwell won the 100 butterfly and the 100 breaststroke, as well as the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay races. Huxhold captured the 50 freestyle and the 100 backstroke along with the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay races.
Huxhold posted a 47.80 anchor leg of the 400 freestyle relay to edge the Cougars at the wall.
"He needed all that for the win,'' San Pasqual coach Ed Talbott said. "He made up 4 seconds on the final leg of that.''
In addition to Lukes, the Eagles' girls got four wins from Kylie Brown -- the 200 and 500 freestyles, along with the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay races -- and three from Theresa Dorian -- the 100 breaststroke, along with the 200 medley and the 400 freestyle relay races.
"It's hard to swim against your friends,'' Lukes said. "It's kind of sad, but I've had to beat a lot of my friends in this pool for a long time.''
Lukes, who will swim and play water polo at Redlands in the fall, will leave San Pasqual in less than three weeks with at least five school records, which is even more impressive considering she missed her junior season.
Determined to receive a varsity letter in wrestling, Lukes was two weeks into the season when she injured her knee running laps in the gym.
The torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee cost her both the water polo and swimming seasons. She spent that whole time on dry land.
"Don't tell my doctor, but I got into the pool a few times earlier than he wanted,'' Lukes said. "If he asks, I'm going to tell him I slipped in.
"That year was the first time I didn't smell like chlorine all the time, but I hated it. I came to every meet, but it wasn't the same. I had no place to work off all my energy.''
Now she'll have to do that somewhere other than Jim Stone Pool.

How to Give Yourself Over to Romance and Glamour
I don't know about you, but when I think of natural-looking makeup, I picture lavender eye shadow, violently applied blush, and frosted lipstick. Fortunately, we have this hilarious straight-from-the-'80s video, in which Knots Landing star Donna Mills shows you how to get in touch with your sensual side. (Apparently, doing so involves purring while taking a bubble bath, then wearing shoulder pads galore.) Check it out if you want a laugh, but don't get too flashy. There's a time and a place for flash, after all.

Subject: [CI] Brookfield Farm ?, Beaumont ?.
Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:26:39 +1000
G'Day Everyone,
Can anyone identify the location of a farm on Jersey for me. My father
called the farm "Brookfield Farm, Beaumont", but I was going through some
old photos recently and one of them has a note on the back "This is a snap
of the old farm Brookfield with tomatoes out front". I understand the farm,
which was mainly used for growing early season tomatoes for the Covent
Garden Market in England was owned by Frank Mauger and family, I don't know
the Christian name of Frank's wife, she was a Gibaut, the sister of my great
grandmother Jane Gibaut, but they had a son Percival, a daughter Elsie and
later a grandson Percy (the son of Percival). One of the listers has advised
me that there is or was a Village in St Peter parish called Beaumont, this
is possibly the location of the farm, but I have found a Mauger family,
complete with Francis P. Mauger ( possibly my Frank ? ) at the head, in the
British 1881 census. This family is located at "The Miles, St Brelade,
Jersey" and Francis is described as a Farmer 9 acres. I don't know if this
is the farm in the photographs or indeed if this Francis is "mine". Does
anyone have any ideas ?

We are so excited to be able to make our own mats for photographs and original artwork. The Mat Cutter is very easy to use and performs well.

You get so much more in this package at a great price. Even if you don't think you will use all the pieces; you will find yourself using them and you will be glad you purchased this item as opposed to buying parts separately.
By None
from Eugene, oregon
I'm new at cutting my own mats. The Logan 750-1 made it so easy for me to learn. The cost was by far the best I found. I saved so much that it was shocking. Love my cutter.
I wish I could quit my day job and play with thing all day!
By Tenaj - #9
from Zimmerman, MN
I started because I am an artist and need to present my artwork in a professional manner. This did the trick, saves me tons of money and running around having someone else do it. I've learned how to do 'v-groves now and I am matting for others as well. I like the ease of use - a monkey could do it! I have no complaints to share -

economical and versatile product
By Yoko the print maker
from San Antonio, TX
I'm print maker, so, cutting own mat board with this product saves me a lot ob money in long term.This product is especially versatile and economical with plastic cutter and glass cutter. Although,when I cut clear plastic plate with this,it was a little tricky to make a clean cut.
Dose what is billed to do
By bill
from lapeer, mi
In my opinion this is an expensive item based on what it actually would cost to build. But the design is very workable and it functions as described with a little practice. Again the instructions are very poor quality. Fortunately the framing book that came as a bonus with the 750 is very helpful. It is easy to get the slip sheet miss-positioned causing the sheet to become damaged. I don't like stuff that has damage to it so I wanted to purchase a new slip sheet, but I have been unable to locate this item. Will probably end up calling blick once I work out all the details of use. I'm getting pretty good with it now and if I can remember to check the slip sheet position before I cut every time, then I will look for the replacement.
Merchant response: Thank you for your review! A slip sheet is just a piece of scrap mat board that is placed beneath the mat when bevel cutting. Although we don't sell these scraps, you should have plenty available from your own mat cutting. If you ever have questions on the use of a product you purchase from us, we hope you'll reach out to our Product Information Department. They're available weekdays from 8am to 5:30pm CST at 1-800-933-2542, or you can email email@example.com. They're happy to assist you!

I've never had a mat cutter before but I 've looked at them for a long time and wanted to buy. I have been told by other artists not to get an inexpensive one or I would not be happy, so I did my homework. I'm producing more art now and wanted a lifelong tool. This is perfect.

text: 26 March 2014 Two new synthetic turf pitches in Ontario, Canada In the spring of 2013 a delegation from the University of Western Ontario, Canada visited several rugby projects in Ireland and the UK which were installed with Edel Future DS 60 from Edel Grass. The delegation, including a number of players, were very enthusiastic about the product, resulting in an order for two fields. One synthetic turf pitch will be used for rugby and soccer while the other one will be used for lacrosse and soccer. The purple color of the synthetic fiber for this field was specially made by TenCate Grass. The second project that was finalized is a synthetic turf field for the Cardinal Newman School in Ontario, Canada. This synthetic turf field is installed with 10,000 m² Edel Soccer Future DS 55. To realize a natural look the grass surface has a mowing effect. The field will be used for American Football, soccer and hockey.

Mr Uncool: Chris Martin says that being a top geek is the key to Coldplay's success
POP geeks Coldplay reckon it's nerd power that keeps them at No 1.
Chris Martin and the boys scored the fastest selling album of the year this week with their magnificent sixth effort Ghost Stories.
But being a tad unfashionable has had its advantages for the band's career longevity.
Singer Chris, 37, admitted: "We have never been the coolest thing or the most fashionable thing.
"Well, maybe for a period.
"It just feels like we're able to keep rolling and no-one really notices.
"I feel like every day we're given is a real blessing.
"I could not have asked for a more dreamy job."
"We have never been the coolest thing or the most fashionable thing"Chris Martin
But the quartet are aware that their chart-topping days may not last forever.
The modest star added: "If we're in that place in 10 years, that's amazing.
"But if we're not, that's OK."
Chris has always promised he would never split the band up and go solo.
In fact he's so adamant Coldplay will stick together, he even had nightmares about sacking drummer Will Champion, 35.
The frontman laughed: "I woke up in a cold sweat and I called Will.
"From that day forward, we've always shared all the money and all the credit."
Bar a few one-off shows Coldplay have confirmed that they won't be touring this year.
And that should allow the fuss to die down over Chris's split from wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 41.
The frontman told Radio 1 recently: "What Ghost Stories means to me is you've got to open yourself up to love.
"And if you really do, of course it will be painful, but then it will be great."

Accurate and up-to-date information about the legal requirements for homeschooling is vital for homeschooling parents, families considering home education, and legislators and public school officials. An accurate understanding of what homeschooling families are and are not required to do in order to comply with the law is the best foundation for safeguarding homeschooling freedoms. Similarly, a clear understanding of the role of public school superintendents, school boards and staff in receiving homeschooling paperwork and ensuring compliance is the best route to building positive working relationships between homeschoolers and their local pubic school divisions.
Virginia Homeschooling – Quick Reference
VaHomeschoolers is pleased to offer the following documents that we believe will help homeschooling parents, school divisions and legislators all gain an accurate understanding of the various options available to Virginia's home educators. While we are not licensed attorneys (and therefore these documents should not be construed as legal advice), we would like to share the expert knowledge we have gained through years of experience working with parents, public school superintendents and their staffs, as well as our history of working with legislators to craft and safeguard Virginia's Home Instruction Statute and related laws.
These documents are provided at no cost, and may be copied and distributed as long as credit is given to The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers.
Homeschooling in Virginia: Avenues for Legal Compliance (pdf)
In Virginia, parents have three legal avenues for overseeing their children's educations, in lieu of sending them to public or private school. Each of these options requires parents to communicate with their local school division. VaHomeschoolers has created this publication to clarify the roles of homeschooling families and school divisions regarding each educational avenue.
Quick Reference Guide to Homeschooling in Virginia (pdf)
Virginia's options for home education are simple in practice but incorporate a number of details that can be difficult to keep in mind, particularly with regard to some of the less-often used legal avenues. The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers (VaHomeschoolers) has created this publication to clarify the roles of homeschooling families and school divisions regarding each educational avenue.
2012 Amendments to Virginia's Home Instruction Statute (pdf)
The Home Instruction Statute was amended by the 2012 Virginia General Assembly to clarify the requirements of the curriculum description in § 22.1-254.1B. These amendments, effective July 1, 2012, are highlighted in this document.
VaHomeschoolers' School Division Policy Review Project
VaHomeschoolers Government Affairs team reviewed home instruction policies and related materials on the websites of all Virginia public school divisions. We identified "All-Star Divisions" whose home instruction policies and other materials are up-to-date and in line with the law, and who allow part-time enrollment by homeschooled students.
To read more about the Review Project, see: VaHomeschoolers School Division Policy Review Project
To find out which school divisions made the cut, see: VaHomeschoolers All-Star School Divisions
If you have questions or concerns about these or any other homeschooling legislative or policy issues, please contact us at VaHomeschoolers Government Affairs. We look forward to hearing from you.

Scenes of laser-lit dance clubs, nearly-naked girls having a playful pillow fight, guys hosing girls down in a wet T-shirt contest, tabletops strewn with prescription pills and a bong, handfuls of weed and an endless stream of plastic beer cups.
Welcome to Frosh Week in Ottawa.
At least as envisioned by Aficionado Studios, a local event planner that proudly announced "the only frosh for all schools" with a two-minute trailer posted to YouTube. (Warning: video contains graphic content)
"It's excessive in every aspect," Nicole Desnoyers, vice-president of the University of Ottawa Students' Federation, said.
Executive director Jarett Lopez didn't respond to interview requests, but issued a statement calling his video "a marketing technique to gain people's attention," and dismissing allegations of drug use and binge drinking as "slanderous."
"Aficionado Studios is a professional student-run company, which strives to give students a safe and responsible way to enjoy their time in our wonderful city."

Australia's retail sector has continued its modest post-election recovery, with turnover increasing 0.5 per cent in October, in seasonally adjusted terms.
That follows an upwardly-revised bump of 0.9 per cent in September, which earlier prompted Treasurer
Turnover in cafes, restaurants and takeaway food services posted the strongest growth of the sectors at 1.2 per cent in the month, with clothing, footwear and personal accessory retailing the next-strongest at 0.6 per cent.
The Australian Capital Territory was the strongest state or territory with growth of 1.4 per cent, offset by falls in South Australia and the Northern Territory of 0.3 per cent and 1.1 per cent respectively.
Growth was strong on a year-to-year basis, up 3.6 per cent in October 2013 compared to the 12 months to October 2012.
The Australian dollar jumped briefly above the US91.2¢ mark after the release. The ASX 200, which had been on a downward trajectory since earlier this morning, was largely unmoved.

Griffins Society Research - into the treatment of women and girls in the criminal justice system
The Society has been sponsoring research carried out by criminal justice practitioners since 2001.
Every year we invite practitioners to submit their ideas for possible research projects and we appoint up to six research fellows each year. Critically, we look for thought-provoking proposals where the candidates have clearly identified a gap in current understanding or particular issues around practice and policy that the society agrees need exploring.
If you work with women in the criminal justice system or related areas like health and have a research idea you would like to explore, why not look under 'Our Fellowships' for details on who is eligible and how to apply. You will find some 'Frequently Asked Questions' there that will hopefully tell you what you need to know, or you can e-mail the society with your question firstname.lastname@example.com
The findings from sucessfully completed research fellowships are promoted by the society and published here on our site under Our research listings

So I…lifted as much information as I could about this tea from the company's website but because they change their teas and suppliers fairly regularly, this is as much as I could gather.
This tea looked lovely as it flowered, with a distinctive olive green and a splash of red in the centre, it was a lovely experience to watch it bloom. The waitress described this tea as a 'soft jasmine.' Soft indeed. I was quite disappointed with this tea, but perhaps I haven't had enough jasmine tea? It…had a taste, but often the notes and flavour was quickly lost.
It was warm, and delicate and lovely to drink it out of a glass, but overall a little underwhelming. It wasn't the worst tea I've had, and I would drink it again if offered it. I'm a little on the fence about this tea, though. Maybe I should try again? I would like to. This tea is soft, and delicate, and maybe I just didn't approach it in the right way? I expected something totally different. I think I'll try more jasmine teas and return to this tea later.
It has a certain soft, ethereal quality, and I'll focus on that when I next drink it.
EDIT: My expectations for this tea was based on the fact that it reminded both my friend and I of Percy Shelley's poem, Ozymandias. It's difficult to correlate the imagery of the poem (sand, heat, the desert) with such a mellow, subtle jasmine blend. But I'm willing to try again.

* Prices may differ from that shown
Over Christmas my dad moved into a new much smaller office and as part of the de-cluttering, I have been the recipient of several items which were destined for the charity shop or skip - one of them being this laptop bag. The bag came as part of a package deal when my dad bought a HP laptop several years ago, and was used for a couple of years until he upgraded the computer - the bag, however, is still good as new.
It is black and sized to perfectly house an 18" laptop. It is surrounded by a zip which goes all the way round three sides to enable it to open fully which has two zipper tabs to use.
The bag has a generous zipped pocket on the front which is approximately A4 size, and it too is zipped all the way round although it has restrictions stitched into the sides of the pocket - it doesn't just flop down open wide. Those restrictions mean that although the pocket is big in terms of height and width, it's not very deep at all. It's suitable for small items but not a great deal else really, although there are three pen slots inside. Along the back of the bag is a full width pocket for documents, with a simple square of Velcro to hold the pocket closed. The bag is designed to be quite sturdy in its shape, so documents do stay flat when this is in use.
The design of this bag is quite basic - it opens up to a single main compartment for the laptop with no frills or additional slots or pockets. The inside feels sturdy and well padded, nice and secure for your laptop and there is a strap with Velcro fastening to hold it tight and safe for extra reassurance.
Attached to the bag is a generous shoulder strap with a nice padded patch to place on your actual shoulder to take the weight. It's made of tough nylon and is about 2 inches wide.The strap is fully adjustable in its length and the pad can also be moved along the length. It is attached by two metal g-clips to the bag, so can be easily removed if needed.
One thing I really don't like about this bag is the carry handles. They are hard and flat "D-shapes", approximately 3cm wide along their three sides, and for me they are not comfy for carrying the bag around. In reality I'm not using the bag for carrying my laptop, I use it to keep my laptop protected at home, so it's not an issue, but it certainly would put me off buying this bag for everyday work use.
The only embellishment to the design is the "HP" logo on the front of the front pocket, so the design is very unfussy. The only other design feature is four plastic buttons underneath which protect the bag when it's put on the floor. All the stitching on the bag is very well finished off and shows no sign of wear and tear, and the same goes for the fabric piping around the edges.
Overall this is a well made basic laptop bag, but looking online and seeing it selling for £20 I don't think that represents especially great value, it's not a price I'd have paid for this bag.
