For many students, writing in APA format can be a challenge. Some majors in particular, such as Nursing, now require students to observe strict APA format for their essays. There are a variety of resources available online and in the library to help you write in proper APA format. Here are a few of the highlights.
One of our favorites is the Purdue OWL APA Formatting and Style Guide. The tabs on the left side of the webpage offer a variety of different situations and categories to choose from. Also, when you click on one of these options, there are usually numerous sub-categories as you scroll down the page. Spend some time clicking through the tabs to familiarize yourself with the website content so that you can find what you need.
One of the best parts of the Purdue OWL website is the APA Sample Paper. It not only shows you what the formatting looks like, but also includes comment boxes that explain the rules for each part. This can be a great easy reference to get an idea of how to format your paper.
One of the common questions we also get is about citation formatting. Both the Purdue OWL website as well as a handout available on the Writing Studio website can help you, but it takes some patience to find the right format for the type of source you are using. There are also a variety of automatic citation generators available online, as software, and even included in Microsoft Word. These, however, are only tools and ultimately you are responsible for making sure they are correct.
If you have more questions about APA, feel free to make an appointment at the Writing Studio to work on it with a consultant. Good luck!

Not a pro-finish but it looks good and is durable. I cleaned up the frets and made a new bone nut and also built up the neck pocket with epoxy so the neck fits nice and snug now.

There are a lot of details that go into planning a wedding. There is the ceremony itself, the party afterwards, and dozens of other aspects. Interestingly enough, one of the details that are paid the most attention are the wedding invitations. People tend to spend an incredible amount of money trying to design the most beautiful wedding invitations. It seems as though people consider the invites to be an accurate depiction of the future event.
However, you may not want to waste a lot of money on your invitation cards. Your option, instead, is to design and create them yourselves. While this may seem like a daunting task, it is actually a lot easier than imagined. You simply need to decide on a layout, add the necessary decorations, and have a lovely inscription that is hopefully handwritten. You can always take calligraphy classes in preparation for your card creating. Here are some guidelines for doing undertaking this task:
Set a Budget
The goal is to save some money with this endeavour. Thus, it is important to ensure that you do not mistakenly end up spending too much money on the project. Decide how much you can spare and set the money aside. Only use this cache, to pay for all invitation related items.
Pick a Design
Clearly, this is one of the most difficult steps of the process. To help make this decision, think about the theme of your wedding. For instance, what are the dominant colours involved with the ceremony and the reception? Figuring out the right shades to use is the first step to deciding upon a design. Then you can choose to have a single card that will act as an insert. You can also choose to have a foldable card. If you want to go for something unusual and do not mind expending a little effort, you can even make a pop up or box card.
The Inscription
It is easy enough to type up some words and print it out and affix it to your card. If you truly want to make your invitations stand out, however, consider a handwritten note. Not just any old handwriting either – opt for calligraphy. If you have not mastered this skill, consider taking calligraphy classes in Dubai prior to starting on the cards. If this is a little too time consuming, perhaps you can find a willing friend to do it for you.
As a final touch to your magnificent cards, try to post the cards the old fashion way. This will be a nice surprise to receive in the mail and will make the experience a little more magical.

Mary Cassatt
c. 1904
An original Mary Cassatt lithograph print.
c. 1904
Original lithograph printed in black ink on laid paper bearing the "MBM (FRANCE) Ingres d'Arches" watermark, and the "MBM" countermark
Signed on the stone lower right Mary Cassatt. A superb, richly printed impression of the only state of this scarce lithograph, from the edition of unrecorded size, most probably printed with the assistance and at the studio of Auguste Clot, Paris.
Catalog: Breeskin 198 only state.
20 x 16 7/16 inches
Sheet Size: 24 5/8 x 18 7/8 inches
This very large study is one of only two experiments undertaken by Mary Cassatt in the medium of lithography. It is closely related to a pastel of Sara in the same pose currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum in New York (Breeskin 454). The handling of the lithographic crayon, with a combination of pointwork and shading with the flat edge, is very similar in feeling to the artist's drawings. The lithograph was almost certainly printed at the studio of Auguste Clot. It is not known whether it was commissioned by Ambroise Vollard or done at the suggestion of Clot, but it seems possible that if drawn with the encouragement of Vollard that it may have been intended for the third L'Album des peintres-graveurs which was abandoned by Vollard before completion. The edition size is not precisely known but certainly does not appear to have been large. Impressions of this lithograph are quite rare today.
Attesting to the beauty and importance of this fine lithograph, examples can be found in the following institutional collections: New York Public Library; Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland; Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris; The Brooklyn Museum, New York; Cleveland Museum of Art; Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Grand Rapids Museum of Art, Michigan; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Studies of children, or of mothers and their children, formed the central inspiration of Cassatt's art. She was very much a female artist and yet at the same time her approach was the essence of Impressionism. She echoed Degas' emphasis on the need to find subjects which reflected "real modern life". Thus, her drawings of young girls are never romantic in concept, they show actual children in everyday poses. Above all she was able through her marvelous draftsmanship to capture all the momentary emotions in their faces and create an almost tangible sense of communication between viewer and subject.

Influx of support in Llanelli can help offset loss of Ruddock and McCarthy
Success can be a double-edged sword. Mike McCarthy and Rhys Ruddock will be Ireland's gain, and a massive loss for Leinster, who were once more asked to provide the national side with key performers.
Ruddock, just back from injury, was always set to make an impact for whatever team he lined out for when fit.
The good news is that Leinster should have strong support for tonight's game against top-of-the -table Scarlets in Llanelli, with the inflow of Irish support for the weekend.
For Leinster, there is some gratification to the fact that both Ireland voids will be filled by their players.
It is also noticeable that the lines of communication between Leinster and Ireland management have improved significantly over the past couple of months.
A mutual respect between country and province will benefit both parties, particularly when it comes to the back-to-back European games.
If Leinster were to remain competitive during this disruptive time and, in turn, maintain confidence, the Champions Cup pool draw, which was so jarring to fans and players, may not look so daunting.
Leinster's performance against the Scarlett's in this venue last season was less than encouraging, though they still could have won.
Scarlets moved home from Stradey Park to Parc y Scarlets seven years ago and the move epitomised the financial and logistical trouble the Welsh clubs were in at the time.
The dull surrounds of Parc y Scarlets provide no atmosphere for the home team.
The Leinster squad would have revelled in the last two games in the RDS, and the introduction of new caps in the home environment gives great confidence to the players and introduces them to the home crowd.
Different to cup campaigns, winning away in the league is vital for securing the points that matter towards the end of the season.
For the youngsters, winning outside their comfort zone is vital to their progression this season.
Scarlets have won their last seven games in the Pro 12 and are always difficult to play at home.
However, they are not the team of old and Leinster's record against them up to last season was impressive.
Today marks a run of 16 games that will define Leinster's season, so victory over the Scarlets can provide an invaluable psychological boost.
Not only that, Scarlets are leading the pack, albeit very early in the day. But they have a 100pc record this season, and to be the first team to hand them a loss could have untold benefits for all involved.
It would somewhat offset the loss of McCarthy and Ruddock, and claiming victory in such a difficult environment would see the younger guys grow by the foot in stature.
Furthermore, for the coaches to have a first competitive away win under their belts would also go a long way.
Throughout the years, foreign signings have always been a gamble.
You can gauge their success by the noise that awaits them by the fans in the RDS or the Aviva.
With Leo retired and Mike McCarthy called up, Leinster have lost a hard experienced edge.
Hayden Triggs will no doubt fill that gap this season and the sooner he is integrated into the team the better.
His experiences should almost match that of Rocky Elsom and Brad Thorn and, when the pressure is on, this will count.
Although the World Cup has affected the availability of players at this point of the season, the Irish performances will lift all provinces.
And if Leinster can keep standards high, this part of the season might be the only serious test of their resilience.

If you've ever implemented an interface, you've probably encountered the requirement that the member you are implementing must be public. For example, you cannot define a property in an interface and then make the setter internal as demonstrated by the following example:
If you attempt to compile the above code, you will receive an error stating that the class does not implement the interface member because it's not public.
There are use cases for implementing interfaces and make the members non-public. Building off the example above, suppose I want all entity objects to have a an Id property that anyone can get, but only internal classes can set.
I'll walk you through a series of code revisions and solve the problem using explicit interface implementation. Explicit implementation essentially hides the class member so that it can only be accessed through the interface. To use this feature, prefix the member you are implementing with the interface name, as demonstrated by the Id property below:
Now the Id property is no longer visible from the Customer class:
To access an explicitly implemented member, cast it to the interface that contains the member (IEntity in this example):
I don't want my consumers to have to cast entity objects to IEntity every time they need to access the Id property, so I'll add a read-only Id property on the class. At first it might feel strange having a member with the same name without using overloading, overriding or hiding (new keyword), but it actually is pretty logical. A class can implement many interfaces, and explicit implementation is the mechanism that handles name clashes when two interfaces define a member with the same name.
Although it may appear we have arrived at the solution, we aren't quite there yet. Explicit implementation hides the member, but it does not restrict access to it; consumers can still cast the object and access the member. To restrict access, we will split non-public members into an interface, and put an appropriate access modifier on the interface. This way consumers cannot cast to that interface and access explicitly implemented members, because they can't access the interface. Let's revisit the example and make some changes. First, the public interface should only contain that which is public, so we'll remove the setter.
Now we'll move the Id property setter into a new interface that is only visible internally:
Next, we'll update the Customer entity to explicitly implement the IEntityIdSetter interface:
For illustrative purposes and to demonstrate why we used interfaces in the first place, we'll also implement an Employee class that implements the same interfaces:
Now any class within the assembly can set the Id property and the interface enables us to operate on different types yet treat them as one. In this example, we don't care if it's an Employee or a Customer, just that it supports setting the Id:
If any class outside the assembly attempts to set the property, the compiler will display an error that the property is read only:
Sometimes you need to implement an interface and don't want a member to be public. To achieve this, perform the following steps:
- Separate non-public members into an interface
- Set the interface access modifier to internal (you can't use private, protected or protected internal)
- Explicitly implement the non-public interface member(s)

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Origins Available: English, French
Painchaud is a name of ancient Norman origin. It arrived in England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Painchaud family lived in Devon. Their name, however, is a reference to Pontchardon, in Argentan, Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
Painchaud Early Origins
Devon where Robert de Pontcardon held lands in 1083. He was from Pontcardon (Pontchardon), near Neauffla in Normandy. Almost one hundred years later, William de Punchardon held six fees in Somerset and Devon. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Painchaud Spelling Variations
Painchaud Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Painchaud are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Painchaud include Punchon, Puncheon, Punchard, Punshardon, Punshow and many more.

Glamour magazine found a genius way to stress the importance of gender equality by giving the Woman of the Year award to the U2 front-man, Bono. The Glamour magazine has had the "Woman of the Year" award for 26 years. But until now people rarely paid attention to it.
Now since Bono is on the list, the news is taking the internet by storm. We all finally know about the prize, and it's importance in the fight against discrimination. "I'm sure I don't deserve it. But I'm grateful for this award as a chance to say the battle for gender equality can't be won unless men lead it along with women. We're largely responsible for the problem, so we have to be involved in the solutions". Bono told Glamour after he was told of the award.
He is on a list that also includes Gwen Stefani, actress and campaigner Zendaya, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, designer Miuccia Prada, International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde and the Stanford sexual assault case ssurvivor known only as Emily Doe whose witness impact statement went viral.
But the Glamour magazine's decision was heavily criticized on social media. A tweeter user named Stephanie Peat wrote: "Bono has been named Glamour's woman of the year. To be fair with only 3.7 billion women it must be tough to find a worthy one."
The award comes after Bono and his One campaign launched the Poverty is Sexist' movement last year. Cindi Leive, the magazine's editor-in-chief said:
"The idea that a man who could select any cause in the world to call his own, or no cause at all, is choosing to work, and not just for one night or at a special event, but consistently day after day and month after month on behalf of women, is incredibly cool and absolutely deserves applause".
Cindi explained that they had talked for years about including a man but had always ruled it out.
"It started to seem that that might be an outdated way of looking at things. There are so many men who really are doing wonderful things for women these days. Some men get it and Bono is one of those guys", she said.
The Glamour magazine decision is supported by CNN's Christiane Amanpour. She wrote an article in praise of her friend Bono for the magazine:
"I'm on Glamour's side: I think Bono is the perfect choice for this first-time honor because, now 56, he's been trying to do good for as long as he's been making music. By establishing Poverty Is Sexist, Bono is making it clear that powerful men can, and should, take on these deep-rooted issues."
As Glamour says this gesture of giving a Woman of the Year award to a man, was also inspired by the woman-friendly actions of other men, including President Obama identifying as a feminist and "super-cool actors" endorsing the United Nations' #HeForShe campaign.

New Delhi, Sep. 8 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed an appeal made by a farmers' body and upheld the Mayawati Government's land acquisition policy for development of projects alongside the Yamuna Expressway connecting Delhi with Agra.
The apex court did not agree with the contention of the farmers that the land was acquired for a private purpose and not for a public purpose.
It dismissed an appeal filed by some farmers challenging the verdict of the Allahabad High Court, which had upheld the policy of the Mayawati Government.
Three farmers have been killed in police firing while they were protesting against inadequate compensation for land acquired in an area bordering Aligarh and Mathura Districts.
The State Government had earlier fixed compensation at the rate of Rs 425 per sq m for the financial year 2010-11 for Aligarh District. Besides, an ex-gratia amount of Rs 24 per sq m was also being given.
The 165-km eight-lane Yamuna Expressway has been taken up by the UP Government to reduce the driving time between New Delhi and Agra. (ANI)

Occupation of employment
There were more professionals in Dernancourt in 2011 than any other occupation.
Dernancourt's occupation statistics quantify the occupations in which the residents work (which may be within the residing area or elsewhere). This will be influenced by the economic base and employment opportunities available in the area, education levels, and the working and social aspirations of the population. When viewed with other indicators, such as Educational Qualifications and Individual Income, Occupation is a key measure for evaluating Dernancourt's socio-economic status and skill base.
Derived from the two Census questions:
'In the main job held last week, what was the person's occupation?' and 'What are the main tasks that the person himself/herself usually performs in that occupation?'
Persons aged 15 years and over

This is the story of an entrepreneur, from humble beginning as a deck hand (laborer) on a fishing boat to ship's Captain, living his dream of being at sea after landing this dream job at the young age of 19. But that was not to be his destiny. By chance, a newspaper advertisement for a car salesman was about to change his life forever. He worked his way from car salesman on the showroom floor to ultimately building and owning his own business empire. He made impossible deals, built a business, and eventually became one of the largest Chevrolet dealers in the United States, just to see it all crumble in 2008 and land him in prison. He was sent to prison for money he did not steal, nonetheless having made bad business decisions that lead to his losses and incarceration. This is the untold inside story of state prison life from a white collar inmate who had never been in trouble with the law. This story includes fishing-boat tales, car salesman stories, accounts of the growth and collapse of a business empire, jail house tells, and more: the enlightenment that followed and, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the rise and resurrection of an entrepreneur and his re-entrance into the business world. This book is his mission to share this journey with others. Follow this philanthropist, community leader, and businessman on his vocation and journey of sharing, listening, and educating, seeing and speaking to those that wish to grow, overcome, succeed, and be all they were intended to be, the entrepreneurship you thought was only a dream. All the while teaching the lessons learned, mistakes made, and how to reemerge a better yet stronger person with faith, family, and friends. This book will give you a new insight into those deserving of a second chance. We all make mistakes, have losses in life, even tragedy happen to ourselves and loved ones; you can and must learn, while understanding those mistakes or tragedies were stepping stones in this journey we call life.

This is where you can have your say. You can have a 'Rave On' I'll select articles that can be hard hitting but not slanderous or identifying anyone.
19th June, 2011
The Neglect is rampant, the over Breeding is too and basically the Industry is out of control. It is out of control during a revolutionary time that will be fashioned by Social Networking.
The advent of the Internet has given every one a say and what is reported is a complete lack of uniformity across the organization of the Horse Industry, something that I can predict will eventually bit it right on the Ass.
We already see the Jumps Racing in the sights of the Liberationists, now Whips in Racing and there is even a petition on the Net to ban Dressage. Meanwhile, the Industry in it's fragmented form lurches onward with no Captain. As I have asked for Years now, "Who's looking after the Horses?"
So who should be? The Australian Horse Council, the EA or a Body like Horsesa? One thing for sure, none of them are and such an Organization that encompasses all is urgently needed so as to beat the 'Tree Huggers' to the punch and to protect the Industry, as well of course to ensure the Health and Welfare of our Horses that are in such urgent need.
We shall see. Will it ever happen? or will the Govt Public Servants and 'Faceless Men" suddenly write Laws that will be to the detriment of all? Do nothing and this is the fate of the Industry.
13th March, 2011
The Sights and Sounds at Gainsborough are ever changing and you never know what you may see next but I have to admit that this one saddened most who were present on the property yesterday. What oh what do you do? It was 20 Degrees and Humid, the Humans Strappers were dressed for the Weather but not the Horses. They were prepared for a big Hack Show today and had been prepared. Completed with 3 Rugs, a Skinny Hood and another Hood :(
Now I can hear the Hackies Poo Hoo me and completely not understand what my position is. Here he goes again with his biased views. I will be a Villain and they are doing what they think is natural. When you move in Circles of Humans that all do the same thing and have a culture unilateral behaviour, they cannot have any understanding of what they are inflicting upon their precious Horses. They just cannot have for why would so many People inflict pain upon those that they profess to Love?
Uncle Pat says that 'Normal' is what everyone else does around you and normal changes every 100k across the World, dependant upon what everyone is doing at the time in that area. This is true of course, but normal in this Sport extends right across the Land we live in. There were a couple of British Ladies there at the time and I asked them whether this was the norm in the Land where the Sport came from. They assured me it wasn't so how come?
Imho, this is a Human sickness of the mind. They know not what they do. A sickness that sees Racking and the pouring of Caustic Soda and other things on their Pasterns, a Western Sports Fashion where Horses are being Bred like Porka Pigs and much more. The Humans involved know not what they do because everyone does it. So they think feeding arsenic to Hacks is normal, chronic over rugging is normal, lunging Horses for 7 Hours over Night in shift work because the Humans inviolved can't sustain what the Horse must, putting Horses under Lights like Battery Hens is normal, having thick hot Boots around Tendons 24/7 is normal and Drugging to the Max is normal.
It is a Sad World Folks and your personal beliefs often get compromised for how many People are you going to upset in the defence of Horses? The one thing I know is this. Just like the Sport of Jumps Racing and now Flat Racing with whips, this Sport of Saddle Horse is going to come under the microscope sooner rather than later. When that happens, they will only have themselves to blame.
I was discussing the other Night, about the crookedness that goes on in all of the sides of the Horse Industry and how not only in this Industry but in Society in general, the Crooks are getting on top of the people who retain morals. Take Ben Cousins for instance. Well not for me.
Society has turned around to where the Victim runs and hides and the thugs walk around as if nothing has happened. In the Horse Industry, I continually see those who are ripped off by Criminals...yes Fraud is Criminal, cop it sweet and keep their silence apart from complaining bitterly about the matter amongst their close Friends. There is this increasing fashion that when a 'Name' in the Industry sells you a crooked Horse that you don't dare complain, you just bend over and cop it sweet, because you think you are not going to progress in that discipline of the Sport because the influence of the 'name' will get you beat and stop your dream.
The reason why those up and coming think that is because in today's Jungle, such is true but it is only allowed to be true and perpetuated, by latent but hidden percentage of those at the top who go along with such activities as they too are Crooks. I could recite cases that would make your Hair Curl and keep your Face Books melting down for weeks.
It is the weakness of the aggrieved though, that ensure such despicable behaviour will remain alive and well with Victims hiding behind their walls of silence and the bare faced Crooks walking around bigger than ever and as large as life itself because they become more financially powerful and can afford better Trucks, better Horses, more expensive Stallions and so on. Al very impressionable to the next crop of Christians that are entering the Industry at the time.
And so it was that today, the Lady who was complaining about just that sort of behaviour, that prompted my piece the other Night, cancelled her Daughters Lesson with Mrs. HP for this Thursday. So be it, no skin off our nose but thereby completely proving my point. Incidentally, Mrs. HP was the only one that had the decency and the Guts to get her money back but that one will be lost in the process.
Do these Victims think these Sellers of known Crooked Horses are the Mafia, that are going to put a contract out on them, fire bomb their Houses and the like? I don't think so but what is it? What is the intimidation that allows People to freely empty the Bank Accounts of innocent People and put their Daughters at grave risk of death or a wheel chair? This is not a Game, this is Hell serious.
So what is the intimidation that allows this to go free? It can only then be Peer pressure or the love of a piece of felt and if that is the case, the shallowness of Industry maybe so that they all deserve each other. That may be fact because I note that these Horses go around and around and the Victims sell them and sell them and sell them, just as readily as the original Crook.
So some of the custodians of the Sport that they got their name within, will glide right along, raiding peoples Credit Cards and Bank Accounts just like common Criminals and putting young Kids on Buck Jumping Horses, risking their lives and with Mothers being kicked. Until the Victims grow some Balls, it will be same old and the Families Bread Winners who slave to earn a dollar and support the dreams of their Kids will continue to pay in silence. It is a shame that this Lady chooses to side with the Crooks :(

I love this site. I read it
daily looking for any tidbits that may assist me. However it is very
tiresome reading the multitude of letters that criticize pony club and
or EFA. They are not perfect by any means, but then who can claim that
they are. We are all reading this web site and searching for other
sources of information because we do love our horses and therefore want
to improve our knowledge. My daughter takes her pony to pony club and
loves it. Sometimes she is told to do things that I don't agree with so
I have told her to say thank you politely and then ignore it. If I see
anything I don't agree with I tell the person concerned then and there.
What they do with that is up to them.

I also agree with your ranting page- the lack of basic
horse mastership
30th July, 2003
This week my beef is Horse Committee members/ administrators. Not Pony Club but, here is our State it is the E.F.A.and the Eventing committees that seem to attract FAILED/INCOMPETENT RIDERS / OR THOSE WHO NEVER ACTUALLY SAT ON A HORSE people to their ranks. These people have plenty of time to be on these committees, because they actually don't have any animals to feed and look after and compete on, in between working and looking after family members etc. These type of people love the POWER they wield( so they think!!) and give the rest of poor buggers who are trying to have ago the shits.
When interstate trips( junkets- fully paid for by the members of course) they flit around the country hobnobbing, while the members are left to face the ever increasing cost of membership and entry fees as the clubs never have enough money!!!
Going for a ride to the beach or through the bush instead of competing is looking more and more attractive every day ( we do this any way) and we wouldn't have to pay several lots of insurance as we do now!!!

My family is involved in the rodeo world and I cant agree with you more, when you talk about pony clubbers and the rest of the "gentleman " horse sports. I see some disturbing things "behind the scenes" at rodeo but the majority of competitors are true horse people with a deep love and respect for their fellow equine friends. I find it sad when people talk about "cowboys" it nearly always means something derogatory and while sometimes it is true it is not always the case. The same goes for pony clubbers, people tend to think they are great, but sadly a lot of them aren't. They are exactly what you write, either looking for prestige or just have no idea. Keep up the good work
29th September, 2003
Hi there
I am just writing to you to say thank you for saying something about the cruelty caused to standard reds. I used to work in the industry. I have seen many a horse treated very poorly buy trainers. One horse I saw sweating and trembling in it's stable (you know the ones they have for SB at the races) and the owner calling it a Sl*t and B***H etc. he wondered why the horse ran like a dog, she left everything at the stable poor thing made me sick.
another time I saw a certain man training a yearling. it had a head check ( a necessity for a young sb) a harsh bit cant remember exactly what it was, a complete waste of time, poor thing) spreaders of course a young horse might hit they are growing, why not knee boots and tendon boots) and an underhead check (poor thing couldn't move it's head at all) this young horse ran a really nice time once (he had a lot of potential) much to his own demise, as the man who owned him the spent the next three months working him everyday, for at least 30-40 mins in hopples and pace working to try and get that speed again he never gave it as in the beginning he was growing, and was out of balance etc, in the end he was just plain exhautsted). He used to pull the horse up and try to make him stand for 5mins or so, he was a yearling and he just didn't have the patience for it(derr does a 12 yr old child stand still) he would move, man would fight, and oneday the horse reared over. The man tried to kick the horse etc to get it to get up, but of course he had both his head checks on, that is the one and only time I have seen someone have a go at him, someone abused him and told him that the horse can't get up as the head checks restrict his head to much, he undid the head checks and the horse got straight up.
I used to go down the track with my trainer and if that man was there with his young horse, he would always say come on time to leave, it would break my heart to see this little young horse go out on the track exusted before it had even begun.
one day we went down and i noticed that the little horse wans't in it's stable, made an off hand comment to my trainer that the gentle man must have finally woke up to his self and but the horse to pasture (where it belinged, the horse only need to be broken, driven, taught to pace and sent out again asap and he was a gangly looking thing that was never going to make a 2yr old) my trainer told me no, apparently the day before it had got it's head caught in the rails of his yard and snapped his neck.
I think the saddest thing is that I ended up thinking to my self, that the horse was so much better off, it made me sick to think how glad I was that the little feller was dead.
*sigh* if only people would realise SB for the gems they are, I have never meet horses with bigger hearts. My mother made me realise that everyone genuinely thought I had a good hand with SBs on the ground and on the track, what they didn't realise was that I cared about them, treated them as well as I could and I guess they respected me for that, as I never had a problem with them, of the 25 r 30 horses that came throught the stables I worked at in the 6yrs i worked there ( it was a small one, mostly their own) there was only one horse i couldn't drive (it would pull it's self down, he had some serious problems that I think he would never have recovered from enough to race, we only had him for a little while as he was to dangerous and we couldn't get any weight on him).
well I am sure I am boring you. to get to the point, thanks for standing up for my fav breed even if it was only in your Day in the life, and only reaches a few people. I wish I had of had the guts to stand up for that yearling, I should have rung the RSPCA, but I was scared to I was only 14, but I know now and would not hesitate in a heart beat. If only some of the adults had of had the heart.

Just caught up with
your comments on the treatment of Standardbreds. I have owned a OTT STB
for the last 5 months and am a total convert to the breed. Luckily for her
she was bred and trained by a local horseman who is very well respected in
our area for his years of experience and his calm kind way with horses. As
a consequence I have a beautifully mannered, honest horse with loads of
horsy personality - found my partner for life! (brag picture below) It
hurts to think about the thousands of this gorgeous breed that end up at
abattoirs each year - an unbelievable heartbreaking waste.
I'd like to add my opinion to the issue with Standardbreds...
Firstly, they are not the only horses which get the rough end of the deal. It happens. I wish it didn't. You only have to look at some gallopers, Dressage horses, Pony Clubbers, campdrafters etc etc etc... you name it. And their owners. There are going to be people out there who do unspeakable things to horses in any discipline, as much as it pains me to think of it.
You have only to visit the local sales... Here, the majority of horses being sold for dog meat are either ill/unsound (why can't people have them put down caringly?) or horses that PEOPLE don't need or don't get on with. Sometimes that's an outgrown child's pony, one that doesn't suit someone or horses surplus to the racing industries. Ultimately, people are the reason why horses have come to end up being sold as meat.
Yes, I transgress. In the wild, survival of the fitness etc...
Where money comes into the equation, horses HAVE to produce. And not all owners/trainers take the long view. I wish they would, but that's how it is, sadly. I would like to think that the majority of owners/trainers have their horses' welfare at heart.
Some, or I might say the majority of trainers/handlers/owners are pressured to produce money from their horses. Add to that personal issues and you have a recipe for some dreadful things happening to horses. I would like to think that the majority of trainers do care for their horses.
I have to say that thinking of things like this happening to Standardbreds is utterly repugnant. I have found STBs, without exception so far, (and I've owned a lot of them and trained many more) to be the outstanding breed which has a truly genuine work ethic and great temperament as well as being athletic individuals.
I am not by an means excusing the behaviour described in the previous post! I sincerely wish that more people could get to know Standardbreds at first hand and offer more good homes for Standardbreds after racing! They are very much worthwhile working with and the myths currently extant of them being "ugly", "clumsy" etc are easily dispelled when you see some of the fabulous Standardbreds who have had the opportunity to have a life after racing.

Hi, he was raced from 2 1/2yrs for 6 months around the nsw country pace races. He was last in nearly all his 7 starts. This is from his freeze brand info. I also have his breeders name but can't find anything on the net about him. .......... has been flogged with a halter or bridle and a rope. He shows me this went I pick up or hang on his fence either one. He is also very ear shy on the right side that I haven't been able to work through. I gather it was twisted to restrain him at some point. He has some leading manners but will try for dominant horse. It's subtle most of the time, but having raised horses from foals in a herd environment, I see it, it only takes one reminder though, in the situation. When I am leading, he stops with me, walks slow or fast, trots, turns with me, left or right , lowers and raises his head with little pressure. BUT as soon as someone or something else comes into the area, he'll spin away to face them/it up or bolt away. I can pick up his feet after a battle of wills (he try's to sit down), I guess the farrier wasn't kind. He ties whilst I'm there, but if I walk away he panics and pulls back, he broke a fence paling doing this, so I dont leave him alone tied now. If I leave him untied in the roundyard, he'll pace the fence till I'm back insight. Once he even started calling out. This doesn't happen when he's free in the paddock. I have found that if I don't talk to him whilst working with him he works things out quicker and more relaxed. I guess he was yelled at a lot. I have never ridden him, I would not have control enough. I can tell from the ground. The woman I got him from hadn't, she could never catch him. She got him from the sales, his pen gate had "doggers" marked on it. She was told he was in a paddock for 10yrs after being raced. I put a bridle on him once. He was calm till I went to take it off. He started shaking his head like a dog does when it's wet. It traumatized ME to much to try again. I don't mind if he's just a lawn mower, we have a sort of bond. He has a home for life, I just thought maybe there was something else I should be doing. I spend a lot of time sitting in the paddock reading or watching him and I think he might even like my company, as long as I don't invade his space too much. I'm hoping one day something will click, but I guess the damage is too deep. Thanks for listening to me. Sorry it's so long winded. Your the first person who hasn't said "what did you buy a dud horse for" "you should send him to be canned". In --------- defense, he has NEVER struck, bit, kicked, reared, charged or run over me. He's not that way, thank God for him. If you have any advice, I would appreciate it. Again, thank you. Kylie
To utter the immortal words of Slim Dusty.....
"Well he's lookin kind of jaded and his sight is not the best and the hair around his muzzle is turning grey.
He has seen a 100 musters and I think it's only fair, that we leave him in the long yard here today."
You are a very nice horse owner and your horse is lucky to have you.

I have ridden most of my life (38) and I still feel like I know nothing. My Father bred/rode/trained/campdrafted etc.(A million years ago.) He was a quiet unassuming small gentle man, I hope I am the same, except for the man part. I have a bit of trouble with the old know it all's at Pony Club,(kids) Adult Riding Club (me) etc. An example: My Daughter rides a beautiful conformed and well behaved 14.2 quarter horse mare. someone rode up her backside at a hundred miles an hour at pony club and she made it clear she was'nt happy, now she has an unjustified reputation, I've even been told by an aged old bag to tie beer cans to her tail and leave them there untill she stops kicking.
The Point! I will get there!!! I like your style, I am always scared to speak up and more than likely let people behaving badly walk all over me I really enjoy your soapbox and "A day in the life of"
Madge, ignore the old bags. Every Pony Club has at least one. Anyway, from a training point of view, wouldn't the 'old bag' be better off teaching the kids to stay away from the rear end of every horse instead of just selected ones? The ones with red ribbons for instance? They all have their days and they can all kick given the right circumstance. Perhaps you may dress all the other Pony Club horses up as beer cans after the re-education. That aughta fix her!

I am responding to all those people regarding pony club committees.
I am pleased to say that every one on the committee of the pony club of which I attend all own and ride horses at all different levels. It makes the club alot more interesting and fun for everyone. Not just beguinners or those at such a high level you know the only reason they attend is to get enough quallies so as to attend at state level shows.
The comradery at our club is exceptional.
I was a breed shower years ago and up until recently felt the same way about pony club. People were bitchy, never helpful and flat out SNOBS! I flat out refused to go, until a friend of mine kept telling me about her pony club. It's only been around for a few years and is still relatively small. The best part is that the bickering and backstabbing found in some of the older clubs is non existant in ours. Well, it took her about 3 months until I finally caved in. Now I am on the committee!!
We are active in Zone events and participate in alot of fun activities. We were also selected to go to the State Champs this year! Sure there are mothers on our commitee, but they all ride and so do thier kids. Northern Hills began by a few people who got sick of all the bull found in other clubs, so the left and began their own.
If you want to have some fun, further your instruction (we get alot of guest instruction too!), go on a few trail rides amongst some fantastic scenery (rolling hills, grass, creek etc etc) and we also have our end of year party. No boring presentation night for us. Get the DJ, pump out the music and have a barn dance!!! YEA!
No Northern Hills Pony Club is not your average pony club. And you know what? We are all very glad about that.
Contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.
Dear Mr. O'Leary:
Thanks for that. Very interesting. I guess the difference is in the number of games that people learn and how they are restricted within them. There are the 7 games, good ones of course and then Ray Hunt and the like would have about 10,007 different games . I am still inventing new games, every day and on every horse. I'll catch up with you one day soon.
Dear Mr and Mrs HP,
This letter, makes me think about Pony Club in yet another way and brings the reality of the problems within it, into the realm of simplicity. You have put it perfectly. My motivation has always been to make things better for the horses of Pony Club and for the Riders' of Pony Club. What you have described is reality. That is what happens. Exactly. So how bad is that? It borders on the terrorization and almost cruelty of the one we are supposed to love the most. The horse. We want them all to hang off the mouths of these poor unfortunate animals, for hours on end and yet we won't teach the kids why, how, to thus bring relief to the horses. You are dead right. They should all ride on loopy reins until such time as proper, qualified, proven and experienced Instructors attend. That means NCAS, EFA Instructors, NOT PONY CLUB INSTRUCTORS with the phony accreditation that means nothing. It is an appalling state of affairs and just another reason why I get so frustrated about it. Pull rank on them or leave.
In response to your ranting page, I'd just like to add my 2 bobs worth
just recently had and new outside mare and foal arrive from a very
respectable stud. The foal had a very wonky for use of better term hind
leg, hock swivelled to 90 degrees from body when he walked and his hoof
on that side was half the size of his other hind hoof. Hence after
advising new client his foal was stuffed we had it exrayed and scanned
to reveal the poor little bugger had had a crushed and dislocated pelvis
which had healed suprise suprise incorrectly.
17th August, 2005I have read some of the stories about the pony clubbers in the world.
Well I found out the hard way if you say to much they give you a hard job to try and shut you up (made me Chief Instructor), but I am glad to say that I am now very proud of our club, we do lots of different things, we introduce ground skills, presentation, in hand showing, care of the pony and horse all hands on, some theory thrown in for good measure, we also pride ourselves in being a club were all instructors still ride (in some form or other) and some even compete against their children in jumping and hacking. To say that some even have to lift their game and jump a little higher to be in front of the 11 and 13 year old competing on ponies and already jumping 85cm. We also have a great club when traveling and share our uniforms if they are in short supply for events. When I took over Chief instructor (with much input from the outgoing one) and advice from the parents who ride through their kids, I have developed a system for lessons from one rally to the other, I encourage the children to watch other people having lessons, even their average mum or instructor learning new ways, I also find that our instructors are always passing on what they have learnt from another person.
I went to pony club with my instructor never having even sat on a horse (and good thing to a 19hh Shire would have been the only horse to carry her) and I believe that text book instructors are not the best at times, there is no fear factor if a pony bolts past they don't know what is going through the child's mind. I like the idea that all Level 1 trainees (EFA) have to pass a riding test which includes dressage scores and jumping 90cm. At our club we also include other horse industry people (being parents mostly) race horse trainers, camp drafting people, harness drivers etc to give these children a broad view of the horses in general.
But mostly we do need to educate the owners and parents of the good feeding and care of the ponies they buy, I have also invited the local RSPCA person (who happens to be my good friend) to talk to kids and show them the horrid things that some uncaring and uneducated animal owners do to their charges, that did shake a few kids up but they also learnt a very important lesson about feeding and care. I as a horse owner spend more on horse feed each week than the family meals, we don't go without but buy cheaper and grow our own, I was always taught to feed my horse first as he cant go shopping for the things he wants and cut back on the luxury we don't need. My children would rather go to a horse event and compete than the movies or have a lunch order each week, and funny enough the movies is nearly the same price as the entry fee to a horse event. We love doing things as a family having 4 out of 5 that ride (partner has a boat and keeps us in fresh fish). I believe that the pony club is the cheapest form of instruction we provide and is the one day a month we (hopefully) have the attention of the little dears so lets try and make the best of it and teach them the life skills they need to enjoy their ponies/horses until their old age.
I was wondering if you could post this on your soap box.

It's no secret that web development, coding, and fundamental programming are at the forefront of job recruiter's wish lists. Having basic computer science knowledge can give you the extra edge you need to land that big job after completing your undergrad. Computer Science offers a new approach to problem solving that business, science, and engineering majors rarely use. The addition of these skills can truly give you a new outlook on problem solving while shaping you into a more well balanced professional.
CS50 is Harvard's introductory Computer Science Class. It is the most commonly taken class in all of Harvard. It has video lectures, video tutorials, real TAs that actually answer your emails, and a cool prof that will add you on Facebook. Oh, best of all… it's offered FREE online.
Because then you can create dope stuff yourself and you won't have to think of genius ideas only to realize you have no idea how to create a website or app.
The course runs through an online site called edX. You can enroll into the course using the following link: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x . From there you will have CS50 available under "my courses" and use the tab labeled "courseware" to access all lectures, tutorials and problem sets.
What Am I Getting Myself Into?
CS50 is the military initiation into Computer Science. It is the juice cleanse of programming. Harvard's CS50 is to programming what P90X is to weight lifting (if you don't get the reference then maybe look up P90X too). Bottom line: CS50 is for the dedicated professional looking to add programming to their skill set while doing so on their own time.
What will I learn?
You will leave the course with a broad and robust understanding of computer science and programming. You will learn concepts like abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development. Those all may seem like mumbo jumbo now but they are the most in demand sectors of computer science. You will also learn a number of coding languages, including C, PHP, JavaScript, SQL, CSS, and HTML.
What Now?
For those looking to challenge themselves and develop programming skills, CS50 is the perfect opportunity to do so. You don't have to want to become a programmer; just the basic knowledge itself will benefit you immensely in your future career. CS50 can take you 1.5 months if you're a keener or 5-6 months if you're super busy with other commitments, but the point is finishing it at your own pace and actually learning the concepts.

Patient information sheet
Not available in web format, please use the contact details below to request a patient information sheet
Cardiovascular disease risk
Subjects will be given a single dose of 100,000 units of oral vitamin D3 or matching placebo. This dose will be given after baseline assessments. Ingestion will occur in the presence of the research team to ensure 100% adherence to medication.
Intervention type
Not Applicable
Drug names
Vitamin D supplementation
Primary outcome measures
Change in macrovascular endothelial function, which will be assessed by flow mediated dilation (FMD) according to standard guidelines. All measurements will be taken at the start of the study (i.e., before the intervention) and at 4 and 8 weeks post-intervention.
Secondary outcome measures
1. Microvascular endothelial function will be tested using Iontophoresis according to standard guidelines
2. Change in arterial stiffness as measured by pulse wave velocity using the validated SphygmoCor pulse waveform analysis system
3. Change in office blood pressure measured by oscillometric automatic blood pressure device
4. Change in metabolic and inflammatory markers:
4.1. Fasting serum lipid profiles: (COBAS Bio Autoanalyser)
4.2. Fasting glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and insulin levels: estimates of insulin resistance will be calculated using the Homeostasis Model (HOMA) (fasting glucose x fasting insulin/22.5)
4.3. Adiponectin and leptin using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with good sensitivity and reproducibility
4.4. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and tissue plasminogen activator antigen, both measured by ELISA
4.5. C-reactive protein will be measured using a high sensitivity automated turbidimetric assay
4.6. Tumour necrotising factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 will be measured by high sensitivity ELISA
4.7. E-selectin - an adhesion molecule expressed only on activated endothelial cells, measured by ELISA
5. Change in serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels
All measurements will be taken at the start of the study (i.e., before the intervention) and at 4 and 8 weeks post-intervention.

Participant exclusion criteria
1. Symptomatic
2. Cardiovascular disease (including previous stroke, transient ischaemic attack [TIA], angina, myocardial infarction, angioplasty, coronary bypass grafting, symptomatic peripheral vascular disease, chronic heart failure, atrial fibrillation)
3. Already taking vitamin D supplements. Consumption of fish oils will not be a contraindication to enrolment as the vitamin D content is very low relative to the dose used in the study.
4. Estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 40 ml/min (by four-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] equation)
5. Liver function tests (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase) greater than 3 x normal. These two criteria will ensure that sufficient renal and hepatic function is available to convert vitamin D to the active 1,25 hydroxy form.
6. Unable to give written informed consent
7. Corrected calcium level of greater than 2.60 or less than 2.15 mmol/L
8. Clinical diagnosis of osteomalacia
9. History of renal calculi, sarcoidosis or metastatic malignancy. Excluding these groups will minimise the risk of side effects from vitamin D supplementation.

Sky Light Hospitality's regulatory filings show Rs 10 crore received from DLF as advance in 2008-09, the year in which it paid the second instalment on the Manesar land.
Separately, another Rs 15 crore advance was received from DLF for the Faridabad land deal, which later fell through.
By 2009-10, Rs 50 crore had been received, separate from the Rs 10 crore received earlier and which apparently remained with Sky Light Hospitality till 2010-11.
While Rs 15 crore was returned on account of the abortive Faridabad deal, Sky Light Hospitality was now cash-rich - in less than two years of Mr Vadra having got going in real estate with a single transaction.
The company would now go on to fund Mr Vadra's other real-estate firms, investments in high-end apartments, and other transactions which would follow thick and fast.

Nocturnal Depression is a Depressive Black Metal band from France, formed in 2004. L'Isolement is their 17th release since then. This being a 7″ vinyl, it only contains 2 tracks, with a playtime of a little over 12 minutes. If you're familiar with Nocturnal Depression then this release is exactly what you can expect and likely what you want to add to your collection. If you're not familiar with them and you're looking for a new Depressive Black Metal release to add to your collection, I suggest you get one of their full lengths instead. It's just as good and the playtime will be a lot longer.
