Children's Out of School Classes
Artzone run may high quality children's art classes in community centres, parish centres and clubs across the city, open to students from all schools. The Classes typically split in Juniors (5-7 years); Seniors (8 – 12 years) and Teens (13+);
Class Groups
We keep children together in their age groups wherever possible. We research and develop two new themed, age-appropriate and progressive portfolios every term for class groups in public venues:-
- Juniors – 5 – 7 year old students
- Seniors – 8 – 12 year old students
This model may vary in venues depending on availability of rooms, space or class sizes. See Public Venues, Days and Times for both groups below.
Artzone Junior Classes:
Junior Classes are suitable for all early primary school (5-7 years) pupils, both boys and girls. Classes are above all fun, instructive and encouraging. We promote friendship, skills development and confidence building with our junior crew. Artzone Teachers are all qualified Art Teachers, working to a structured curriculum, producing new and exciting portfolios every term.
'Garden Explorer' is the seasonal theme for Autumn Term 1 Junior portfolio.
Artzone was recommended for my daughter who needed to work on her motor coordination skills. Within weeks her two brothers were begging to join – the teachers are so welcoming and the projects are 'so cool' (their words, not mine!). It is the one activity, every week, they all look forwards to. It has changed my attitude to Art.
Maebhdh , Parent, Artzone Castleknock 201+
Artzone Senior Classes:
Once our juniors master the basic art concepts, skills and media, and have built their confidence they move on to the Senior Group, designed for 8 – 12 year olds. The senior group engage in a more in-depth exploration of various art techniques, taking a mini-project approach. They learn more about colour, shape, texture, painting styles, and a variety of drawing techniques. Classes are still fun, with more freedom, and more focused on individual flair, design and creativity.
"The Raven" is the cool and challenging theme for the Autumn Term portfolio
This is a perfect time for new students to join – new students accepted throughout the term subject to availability!
"Cant say enough good things about the Artzone Classes .. had my daughters in after school classes but Artzone is light years ahead … a real art education!!!"

Discussion in 'Cuckold Forum' started by Deke, Aug 3, 2015.
I would like to see everyone's favorite cuckold films!
I like the fetishfunfilms for example Sir.
Seeing some great stuff on Xhamster
The video above is so good. I love it when she points to the floor telling her husband to get down there. And the point at which she gets up and sits on his face is priceless. This is the essence of cuckolding. It's saying to the husband "You are here to service me".
I love the camera Anyways and if its a cuckold session.. Awwwe man..that type of video would turn anybody on....
I loved the xhamster vid. My dream come true.
aww damn i cant wait more to see my wife fucking with a big black man
i eat bbc creampies too
damn wish if i was me
How can the cuckoo take such good films using only one hand?
This is just amazing. She is drunk off that cock.
LOVED this vid. That is one lucky cuck. Shows the humiliation of the bull fucking and getting to cum in the sexy hot wife but the cuck only gets to eat his cum out of her and he wants to so desperately ! Just like me
Love at the end when he is about to burst inside her, the wife gets all turned on and starts yelling at her husband that he is going to eat his cum. Like it was REALLY important to her that he KNOWS he is going to have to eat it. Hot.
hope it's OK to link this. sorry, no humiliation, and may be slow for some....but worth it. this looks and sounds like just the kind of connecting -- fearless, sensuous, joyous, and ultimately mutually explosive -- that could get some people off the fence, start others to thinking.
and can anyone possibly think, even for a second, that her husband didn't enjoy this too? that any husband who loves seeing his wife in ecstasy wouldn't?

Yesterday, as a passenger on my way to the city, I couldn't capture the beauty of the goldenrod. I ended up with either an electric pole in the middle the picture or a blur of colour, but, as you can see from the pic, beauty can't be denied.
Usually I have my knitting in tow, but yesterday I was happy to look out at the wildflowers. In many areas the goldenrod was complimented by banks of purple wildflowers.
Fortunately, I've noticed that there are a few more wild bees around this year.
Several years ago, I took an Apiculture course from Simon Fraser University. As a child, I collected and released many bees so I was aware that they are engaging creatures, but I also learned, among many other things, that they not only navigate by following landmarks, but that they also use the tilt of the sun and the magnetic field.
In early spring they send out a scouts and the when these scouter bees return to the hive they dance out the directions to the source of nectar/pollen for the other worker bees. They have several dances in their repertoire.
For the bees' sake and ours, we need to save these wee creatures. Please sign the petitions against the use of pesticides.
One day, recently, I could have worn this hat; it was 12C or 53.6F. Thankfully, it's warmer now. The hat is taking longer than I expected, but I am a few rounds closer to the finish line.
Have fun this weekend! And thanks for reading...

After falling 32 votes short of the required total
I'm still laughing about this!! You know how pissed off he must be??
Oh, yeah. We do know: These people are not conservatives. They are not Republicans. Theyre radical libertarians and Im offended by it,
The arrogance is similar to Arlen Specter's: "I'm simply not going to subject my 29-year record in the United States Senate to that Republican primary electorate."
God forbid the people that sustain you in office decide to throw you out of it. The office isn't yours, senator. It's ours.
At the same time we need the new blood over on the Democrat side (BTW)
Absolutely brilliant!!!! Quote of the year, IMHO...Well said. Kudos!!!
"You know how pissed off he must be??"
No, I think that he is scared to death of losing his gov't check.

When Kathy Burden and her husband were thinking about moving to Benalla, she did her homework to see if it was feasible to commute to her job in Melbourne several days a week.
On the face of it, the rail service could work.
Just a couple of hours on the train, which could be spent working on a laptop.
But things haven't quite panned out that way for the past 18 months she's been taking the troubled journey.
''I commute into Melbourne two or three days a week and work from home for the other days,'' Ms Burden said.
''I noticed it's a very unreliable service, so I started keeping notes on everything.
''I get the XPT in the morning, which leaves at 5am because that's the only way I can get in before 9 (am). It gets in at 7.30.
''Then the only train home is the V/Line at 6pm. It's meant to get here (Benalla) at 8.36 (pm) but most of the time it's late.
''It leaves on time, but there's always excuses, like recently because of all the rain we had over winter, the tracks have got mud holes.
''There's always something. Last night there was a sick staff member, so there was no buffet car. They might seem like little things, but it's constant.''
During the past fortnight, services have been affected by ''seasonal heat restrictions''.
Public Transport Victoria performance results show that from November 2015 to 2016, on-time performance punctuality on the Albury line dropped nearly 40 per cent, from 94.9 per to just 55.2 per cent of trains arriving on time.
Ms Burden has been meticulously cataloguing all the problems with the service and believes more people would use the train if it was reliable.
''I always talk to people on the way home and quite often they've said, 'this is the first time I've caught it in ages. I normally drive in,' or they drive to Seymour,'' she said.
''There's 20 train services to Seymour each day. ''There's five (to Albury) and two of those are the XPT.
''When these things (delays) happen all the time, you just sort of think, this is broken.
''I thought, I'm in the best position to say how broken it is because I'm on it regularly. So now every time I travel I log it all.
''I sent it to BRAG (Border Rail Action Group) and then I send it to Steph Ryan (Member for Euroa) and Jaclyn Symes (Member for Northern Victoria) and Cathy McGowan (Federal Member for Indi).
''If there's a real issue, when it goes wrong it goes horribly wrong, those I flag with Daniel Andrews (Victorian Premier) and Jacinta Allan (Minister for Public Transport).''
So what's the worst things that's happened?
''There was one night in November, I got to the station at 10 to six to come home and there's an announcement being made that the train to Albury is departing in 12 minutes, and you look at the platform and there's no train and you think, ahhhh, am I on the right platform?
''So I walk out and check the monitor and yes, it is meant to be on this platform.
''A minute to go, there's still no train, no further announcements, then after a while we get, 'oh yeah, the train is on its way, it will get there in 15 minutes'. Forty-five minutes later there's still no train.
''After a while they say, we'll put you on the Seymour train at 10 to eight.
''And you think, 'if you'd told me earlier I could have got to Seymour.' That Seymour train was 20 minutes late, so it was well after 11 o'clock before we got home.''
Another trip, the doors locked on the train and the passengers could not get off in Benalla.
''Normally the train sits (at the station) for a few minutes. I don't think the train was there for 30 seconds, it just took off and there was a whole heap of us just like, 'Umm we can't get off. My husband is waiting for me at the station'.
''We ended up going through to Wangaratta. The guard didn't even come out to talk to us. We were banging on his door and he just shouted, 'I know there's a problem, I'll be out'.
''So we get to Wangaratta, they put us in a taxi back. One lady said, 'Where's my luggage?' They'd put it in the V/Line office and the V/Line staff had gone home and locked the office.
''This lady said, 'but my medication is in there.' Who knows what health implications that could have.
''And you think, these things happen and no-one seems to care about it.''
Despite all this, Ms Burden loves her life at Chesney Vale and won't be moving soon.
''I do work for a good company and they're very understanding,'' she said.
''The fact that I can work from home a couple of days a week, and this lifestyle, it's pretty good. In that regard, it is worth it.''

Reviews — From the September 2008 issue
Perhaps the most degraded level on which we may find ourselves reading a memoir is that of pure gossip. A friend from San Francisco told me that one reason Sean Wilsey's Oh the Glory of It All was such a hit in his native city was that many people felt they were acquainted (from life, or from the society pages) with the wicked stepmother whom Wilsey portrays, with understandable relish, as the socialite equivalent of a fanged, taloned fairy-tale villain. This approach may be all but unavoidable when we actually do know the writer or any of the characters who figure in the narrative. That might have been the case for literary Manhattanites reading Her Last Death, the well- received memoir by Susanna Sonnenberg, whose father (name changes did little to disguise the identities of the principals) was a prominent figure on the New York cultural scene. At its extreme, such a reading can assume the rhythm of a curious child paging through a steamy novel in search of the dirty bits, or of a celebrity-gossip hound reading a Hollywood roman à clef, skimming for insinuations too libelous for the tabloids.
The next level on which memoirs can be read involves our sense that a writer is telling the world something we might not confide to our best friend. This sort of reading experience is provided by the increasingly crowded subgenre of autobiographies that portray the outrageous exploits of parents who have remained, in the writer's memory, larger than life, just as they would have seemed to a child. Some of the most popular recent memoirs—Augusten Burroughs's Running with Scissors, Jeannette Walls's The Glass Castle—fall into this group. The writer's courage or boldness in making the private public may be part of the reason why so many first-person accounts (Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love is yet another example) may fulfill a self-help function, and why thousands of readers find their encounters with these intimate narratives to be less voyeuristic than therapeutic. The traumas of the reader's own dysfunctional childhood or painful divorce seem suddenly less taboo, less isolating, less fraught. Hidden secrets may come spilling out in the supportive context of the book group—a less expensive alternative to psychotherapy—and the reader may feel heartened and encouraged by the fact that the writer (such as Margaret B. Jones) has not only survived but triumphed.
To read in this way is to enter into a relationship with a book and a writer that is not only extra-literary but personal, a phenomenon that may be partly responsible for the orgies of recrimination that have followed the exposure of memoirists with faulty recall or vivid imaginations. It's less as if a writer has lied or exaggerated than as if one's therapist has been found guilty of practicing with false credentials.

College coach defends Cousins' character
When Brian Sabean speaks to Scott Cousins(notes), he will find the young man he bullied and threatened is a wonderful friend and teammate.
He will discover that Scott Cousins is the adult you'd like your own little boy to grow up like.
He will, if he bothers to ask, learn that Scott Cousins came from very little, became a standout student anyway, attended college on the merits of his baseball and desire alone, and earned his way onto that big-league ball field nearly a week-and-a-half ago.
"I think what's been overshadowed here is the character the young man has as a human being," said Nino Giarratano, Cousins' former coach at the University of San Francisco. "Look at how he's handled it. All he's done is care about what's important – Buster Posey(notes) getting healthy and Buster Posey getting back in the game."
Cousins, you can be sure, will take Sabean's call. And he'll probably accept Sabean's apology. He's that kind of kid, Giarratano said.
"The people who are talking about [Cousins]," he said, "they don't know him as a person, a teammate and a role model."
Cousins played three seasons for the Dons after Giarratano recruited him out of Reno, Nev. He had a big arm, good speed, a power bat and a good head for the game.
"And we were interested in him as a person," Giarratano said. "A lot of schools jumped off him because he didn't have the money to go to school. I thought, given time, he could blossom into a superstar here."
An outfielder and pitcher, Cousins was named USF's MVP twice.
He left by way of the third round in the 2006 draft to the Florida Marlins. Five years later, carrying a go-ahead run in extra innings, he bore down on Posey.
Since, Giarratano has spoken often to his former player. He attempted to soothe Cousins' sadness for Posey, his regret for the outcome of a play that won the Marlins a game but killed Posey's season.
"Scott, it's time to move on," he told him recently. "Buster needs to heal. And you need to get on with the season and get on with your career."
By Friday evening, the San Francisco Giants came close to apologizing for Sabean's contention that Cousins had acted maliciously, and for the particularly heartless sentiment, "If I never hear from Cousins again, or he doesn't play another day in the big leagues, I think we'll all be happy."
A statement from the Giants reported that Sabean's comments came from "frustration and out of true concern for Buster and were not meant to vilify Scott Cousins."
But, of course they were.
Cousins responded, "I hope and believe that Mr. Sabean's comments were made in the heat of the moment and are based more on his fondness for Buster Posey than on any animosity towards me. This situation is still an open wound for many, including myself. As I have stated previously, nobody outside of Buster feels worse about his injury than I do.
"I have a responsibility to myself, my teammates, and my organization to play the game hard. This is what has gotten me to the big leagues, and hopefully this is what will keep me here."
Meanwhile, Giarratano was on a bus to UCLA, where his Dons would play in an NCAA regional game. He'd seen the play over and over. He'd heard about the death threats and read Sabean's words.
"I feel sorry for those people," he said. "I can't tell you how disappointed I am with the statements being made about Scott. It couldn't be farther from the truth. It's just so far-fetched and preposterous."
Finally, he is struck by the aftermath of the play. You want to know Scott Cousins? Watch the video. As he lay tangled with Posey, the ball having rolled free, Cousins reached out to console the catcher.
"He said, 'Let me help you,' " Giarratano said. "You want to judge somebody's character? That's it right there. That's Scott."

African countries should withdraw foreign exchange reserves
by June 10, 2015 5:35 pm0
African countries should withdraw foreign exchange reserves deployed in foreign markets and use the money to fund infrastructure projects at home where returns are better and risk is improving.
"It really doesn't make sense to be buying the bonds of developed countries and funding their fiscal deficits when the needs are great here and the returns are so low," Professor Leonce Ndikumana of the University of Massachusetts said at the annual general meeting of the African Export Import Bank in Lusaka, Zambia on Wednesday.
The United Economic Commission for Africa estimates the continent's 54 central banks hold an estimated 500 billion largely in dollars, euros and the Chinese yuan as a risk measure at a time when Africa has an infrastructure financing gap of $93 billion.
With global benchmark bonds including US treasuries and German bunds yielding less than three per cent, African countries are missing a huge opportunity for better returns while fixing a key sector hobbling growth, Ndikumana said in a paper looking at mobilizing resources for export diversification.
In some cases, the same money was recycled back to Africa as higher cost loans, he said. While previously these reserves were held offshore as a risk measure, the 2008 global financial crisis had exposed the fallacy of some of the risk assumptions and perceptions, Ndikumana said.
On their own, African countries could help reduce the funding gap by selling infrastructure bonds and using domestic resources residing in sovereign wealth funds and pension funds.
Capital flight, estimated to have cost the continent some $1.3 trillion since 1970 could also be plugged by improving governance, Ndikumana said. Justin Lin, a former World Bank Chief Economist, said successful economies developed competitive market systems with the state playing a facilitation role.
"Poor development performance in Africa is due to the fact that the governments' policies for development and transition were shaped by inadequate ideas," he said. "With right ideas, African countries can grow as dynamically as other successful economies in the world."
Afreximbank, as the bank is known, has approved $35 billion in credit facilities since 1994, with $4.5 billion being disbursed in 2014. It's holding its 22nd annual general meeting in Lusaka as Jean-Louis Ekra, its president for the past decade, steps down.
Ekra, an Ivorian, has overseen an expansion of trade across the continent which saw trade worth $1.4 trillion in 2014 versus $260 billion when the bank was set up in 1993. Under his leadership, the bank received an investment grade rating from Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch. He has also pushed to diversify the continent's exports away from raw materials.
Former African presidents Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria, South Africa's Thabo Mbeki and Joaquim Chissano of Mozambique are among hundreds of delegates attending the three day meetings. The bank is also holding seminars of its Advisory Group on Trade Finance and Export Development in Africa.

Monthly Mash: Customer Experience Tools and The HootSuite Owl
Volume 2: November 2011 Mashup
Welcome to the Monthly Mash, a mashup of tools, tales and tips on customer service and the customer experience from around the blogosphere.
Customer Experience Resource: "Hootie" The HootSuite Owl
This month's spotlight is on HootSuite, a social media management dashboard, who has affectionately been renamed Hootie in my household.
How does HootSuite relate to the customer experience? As social media increasingly becomes part of the customer experience for businesses across industries and sizes, properly scaling social media monitoring and response is essential to enhancing the customer experience and responding to customer service complaints made in the social sphere.
Multiple social platforms can be challenging to maintain. HootSuite enables organizations to consolidate most of their social media management, monitoring multiple streams in one location.
For instance, with Twitter, you can have a column for lists, a column for keywords, a column for @mentions, and more. HootSuite allows me to keep track of Facebook and Twitter for multiple retail businesses, as well as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn for my personal/blog — all with one login.
HootSuite's mobile app (at least for iPhone) is an excellent way to keep on top of social accounts; however, if you suffer from any type of smart phone addiction, it is likely to only increase the condition. "Please put Hootie down and take out the trash" has been heard quite a few times around my house.
One of the best selling points for HootSuite is it scales economically for small organizations but is robust enough to be used by large media companies like Fox and The Huffington Post.
HootSuite provides an excellent way to delegate responsibility without giving up control. If you are concerned at all about Facebook fan page security (and you should be), then HootSuite allows you to have others manage the page without giving up dangerous admin privileges.
While HootSuite has too many features to list in this short spotlight, I hope this brief introduction has helped expose you to some of the possibilities for monitoring and managing social customer service. While HootSuite is not the only platform for managing multiple social accounts, it is one of the most popular and, to my mind, the best in class.
The Month in Customer Service Blogging
A collection of the best posts about customer service and the customer experience I read this past month.
- CX Insights from Marriott and JetBlue – Really interesting insights into two challenging customer experience environments. The data from JetBlue is fascinating.
- Silent Gratitude Isn't Very Much Use to Anyone — To me, gratitude is at the heart of customer service. Some great quotes and thoughts here for business and life.
- Spotting Erroneous Customer Research – Insightful views on Martin Lindstrom's controversial You "Love" Your iPhone NYT op-ed.
- How Customer Experience Pros Can Cut Through The Controversy And Capitalize On Net Promoter – Solid tips to make sure that NPS is not just measured but capitalized on within your organization.
- Language Engineering: Finding the Right Words to Use with Customers – Careful word choices are an integral part of not only reactive customer service but also of the customer experience as a whole.
- Do You Believe Customers Are an Asset… Or a Cost Center? – Many firms need to evaluate whether they have systems in place that inconvenience the 99% just to protect them from the 1%. Context is everything in this discussion, but most businesses fail to have the discussion at all.
- Customer Equity — Should you treat all customers equally? An interesting post that ties in well with the discussion of Customer Lifetime Value from earlier this week.
- Infographic: The Word and The World of Customers — An interesting look at word of mouth marketing both online and off.
And in the spirit of the holiday season, a couple of posts on how to get, not give, better service…
- How to Get Better Service This Holiday Season – Has thoughts from a number of CustServ professionals on how to ensure you get better service during "peak" season.
- How to Receive Customer Service – Sometimes you need to walk a mile in the other person's shoes. Be the dream customer for someone else.
Someone Was Listening
Sometimes the most popular post from the previous month; sometimes just the one I am most proud of.
- Understanding Customer Lifetime Value: A Non-Geek's Guide. Calculating Customer Lifetime Value can be a complicated undertaking, but extremely worthwhile. This post takes an exhaustive look at CLV using a back of the napkin approach. This is the longest post on this site, and it has received the most initial traffic of any post yet.
Thoughts on the Customer
"Even loyal customers like to try new things."
Jack Mackey
As you might know, I recently heard Mackey speak at The Secret Service Summit. This quote really stood out, because I believe it strikes at the heart of how customers view loyalty versus how many businesses do.
Much writing on customer loyalty tends to view the customer relationship as a marriage, as if customers are only truly loyal if they don't stray. Companies have even attempted to reinforce the idea through marketing (particularly cigarette companies back in the day): "Us Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch." "I'd walk a mile for a camel."
However, in most cases, customers do not view loyalty the way we wish they did. Our customers will always be tempted to try the competition, and it is human nature to want to experience new things. Accept that loyal customers will stray on occasion, and remember that your service experience and value proposition should be ready to withstand the enticements of newness.
Customer loyalty should not be viewed as a chain that binds but as a home where the door is always open.
I hope you enjoyed the Monthly Mash. Please join others in sharing it using the social share buttons below.

Multi-century perspectives on current and future streamflow in the Missouri River Basin
Science Center Objects
The Missouri River Basin (MRB) is the only major river headwaters in the western U.S. for which hydrologic reconstructions from tree rings have not been generated in any systematic way. This knowledge gap is critical given that the region is facing an array of water resource issues that are challenged by hydrologic variability – experiencing both severe floods and droughts in the recent past. Providing a longer context for understanding past variability of flow and the climatic controls on it, particularly at decadal and longer time scales, is critical for anticipating and managing future water supplies. Historical discharge records are too short for such assessments; hence, the value of tree-ring based hydrologic reconstructions that span the past several centuries to millennium.
Here we present early progress in a collaborative research project that seeks to address this data and knowledge gap by developing Hierarchical Bayesian Models (HBM) for streamflow reconstruction on the MRB drainage network using existing, new, and updated tree-ring collections. The HBMs will be constructed to directly consider the spatial dependence structure of flows in the drainage network leading to improved regional assessments of potential non-stationarity in past, present, and projected future changes in streamflow. A variety of hydrologic, climatic, and land-use modeling experiments will also provide information on the likely drivers of historic and future drought and pluvial events. Flow reconstructions developed using the HBM methods will be compared to results obtained from a suite of more traditional to novel reconstruction methods that are less complex, but offer other potential advantages such as enhanced retention of low-frequency climate information. Reconstruction of annual (water year) total flows and seasonal low flows will be targeted due to their importance for navigation, reservoir operation, and environmental regulation and ecology.
Stakeholder Engagement
The Missouri River system is the life-blood of the American Midwest. Our research team will collaborate closely with the US Army Corps of Engineers Institute of Water Resources and their Upper Missouri Basin Offices to develop and test paleoclimatic scenarios that can be used for different aspects of the Corps' operations on the river system, ultimately leading to better multi-stakeholder discussions on how best to manage climate induced risk in the region. This direct engagement will enhance the application of the research products, as well as provide guidance for their design. The analyses of the spatio-temporal structure of low-frequency variability in the MRB will be invaluable for evaluating reservoir and river system operation policies and for drought preparation. The low-flow simulations across multiple years and across the river network will be valuable for ecological assessments and river restoration programs as they relate to the EPA regulatory processes. To engage Montana water users, we will convene a workshop for local, state, tribal, and national management agency personnel, modeled after a series of workshops that several of the PIs have held for resource managers in other western states, with the goal to build capacity to incorporate scientific information into planning and management.
Research Questions and Objectives
- Develop a general Hierarchical Bayesian Model for streamflow reconstruction on a river network using tree-ring chronologies and apply it to the MRB annual and summer flow series.
- Extend this model and its applications to include a strategy for the space-time stochastic simulation of streamflow on the network considering explicit modeling of interannual and longer quasi-oscillatory flow regimes.
- Use the reconstructions to analyze drought risk over the MRB station network focusing on the potential spatial structure and regime-like persistence of drought. Identify canonical drought signatures and their correspondence to large-scale atmospheric circulation features through comparisons with independent paleo-reconstructions across the American West. Assess the post-1900 record for trends and changes given the longer context.
- Introduce the reconstruction and simulation tools into the US Army Corps of Engineers' planning and operation evaluation process, and develop an understanding of potential current and future applications for a range of stakeholders, including Montana water users.

The construction boom in Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China and Dubai has led to a shortage of quantity surveyors and building surveyors. Holding the master key to Hong Kong's prosperity, the education sector is quick to respond.
Over the years, HKCyberU (the e-learning arm of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University) has formed partnerships with an array of reputable overseas education institutions, helping to facilitate world-class learning and training for local and international students. The College of Estate Management (CEM) in the UK is one such partner.
Founded in 1919, the CEM currently enjoys international recognition at the forefront of specialist land and construction management programmes. Its partnership with HKCyberU continues to prosper as greater numbers of Hong Kong students opt to join learners from over 80 different countries and study with CEM.
Ann Heywood, principal, The College of Estate Management, UK notes the college is a popular choice for a few good reasons. "CEM is a leading distance learning provider for the property and construction professions. The market is indeed a niche one and the CEM is devoted solely to e-learning. However, in the UK and Hong Kong, due to the large numbers of students enrolled, face-to-face teaching takes place at least twice a year," Dr Heywood says.
"Most of our students are earning while they are learning. The average age is 34 so more often than not, enrolled learners can test out their knowledge in the workplace," she adds. Learning is subsequently quicker and also more thorough when such practicality is involved.
Dr Heywood also stresses that the CEM analyses feedback from major employers in Hong Kong as the local property and construction industry is contained yet incredibly buoyant. As a result and since the CEM has no restrictions on student numbers, the college is proactively increasing its intake of both such professionals to meet local skill shortages.
The programmes on offer at CEM include the entry-level diploma in surveying practice, a technical qualification accredited by both the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS). Alternatively, available at the upper end of the academic spectrum, is the MBA in construction. "We currently have 4,000 students and it is not unusual to see alumni returning to begin a new qualification with us at a higher level," Dr Heywood remarks.
"At present the breakdown of students is 70 per cent UK, 30 per cent international. We want to reverse that and leverage on our partnership with HKCyberU in doing so," she adds. Course material will also become more international to cater for a more global student body.
Concerning corporate social responsibility, as chair of the RICS Presidential Commission on Sustainability, Dr Heywood is also acutely aware of the need for sustainable development across the entire spectrum of the international property and construction industry from architects through to builders. "CEM's goal is an industry-wide ripple effect, whereby environmental sustainability is respected at every level," she concludes.

We premiered his video earlier today, now we've got a bit of information on Nikko's new single and dedication to girlfriend Mimi Faust of hit reality show, 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta'. Nikko's new single, I"m Ready Girl", may be more personal than we all thought.
In the visual, Nikko sings of wanting back his love that has now moved on to another man. He's now ready to settle down and make things right but it may be too late. The singer's new single may very well be about Mimi. In the last several months, she and Nikko has had an on-off again relationship. In fact, she was recently rumored to have moved on to a white man during a brief breakup with Nikko. Therefore, it's not surprising the woman in the video is seen in a new relationship with a white man.
Could Nikko be the man Mimi Faust needs to finally get her off the Stevie J bus? In a recent episode of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" we see Mimi now living on her own after a fall out with Stevie over his new girlfriend Joseline Hernandez. The same woman he cheated on her with.
We'll finally get to see Mimi and Nikko's relationship take flight as he makes his television premiere on the popular VH1 hit reality show. Will you be tuning?
Check out Nikko's video, once again, for "I'm Ready Girl" and tell us what you think.

Advanced Training
Recognizing that Fellows link their knowledge to action in a wide range of settings, we are developing an advanced training program that will address needs of collaborators working in a specific context. Fellows will have an opportunity following their initial Fellowship year to select from a menu of advanced training options that best support the vision they formulated during the core training year. The advanced training programs will focus on a specific skill or context that participants need to understand in order to integrate science into practice. The program options will fall into three categories:
• In-depth skill development
These offerings will focus on a specific skill such as dialogue and negotiations, facilitating interdisciplinary teams, or leading a strategic planning initiative. This category of training will be for Fellows only or for those researchers who have had significant prior leadership development experience and/or training.
• Integrating science into practice
These will be context-specific programs broadening participants' understanding of an organization (legislative body, NGO, regulatory agency), or a geographic location (urban China, rainforests in the Amazon, Pacific Island nations). Non-Fellow participants will be welcome.
• Fellow-initiated programs
We anticipate that a Fellow (or group of Fellows) will propose specific topics for specific groups and act as champions for those ideas and follow through after the training. These offerings may be similar to research working groups but focus instead on solution building, i.e. planning a small- or large-scale transformation that links knowledge to action.

Entry #11
I took my first open studio figure drawing session and I have to say that it was pretty much what I expected it to be. Now I know that may sounds like a douchey thing to say so let me start this story off by saying that I got a lot of experience from that one session alone and I will be doing figure drawing sessions on a weekly basis.
When I say it was pretty much what I expected I mean that I wasn't nervous or anything. I guess I been prepping for it for so long I was completley ready to see a 65 year old naked dude. What did surpise me was that there was an artisit from Disney there but I didn't ask him much because he comes by often and it already seemed like he was being swarmed by others. Now for anyone interested in figure drawing that's reading this and has never done it before let me make a few things clear. To start an open studio figure drawing session is a thing where you bring your own supplies and you pay a small fee while whoevers hosting the session provides you with a model that you can draw, you're usually timed on each pose but other than that there's no clear guidance it's not like a class or anything. Never be apprehensive of figure drawing anyone will tell you that once you start drawing you'll forget why you were even nervous in the first place.
I mean unless you get squeemish and vomit around nude people then there's a problem, but go for it anyways.
It was pretty fun, I met people that I really felt I could relate too, you know, the kind of people who love video games, Movies, Netflix, and can appreciate the subtle atmosphere a cartoon gives more than reality tv shows (Translation-people who like to watch cartoons intstead of two and a half men, the big bang theory, Cops, and various dramas. I'm just trying to make it sound smart). The model like I said was a 65 year old skinny dude with a slight beer belly which I expected because I live in Florida and that pretty much describes the whole population. He was a nice guy, when I drew him though I was so confused by the curves of his belly there's like 3 drawings I did where he looks really fat. It's not his fault it's mine but i'm hoping to fix that over the next few years. I can't say much else about it, I did really poorly with the hands on some poses and the feet and others but its a start.
Now that i'm taking a weekly session I can get back to animating. Sure i've been animating a little bit here and there with the 'Lip' project I never spoke of but I haven't animated in so long I tried making a gif with a character I madeand it was just.....
Just a mess...
I've gotten back to my storyboard though which my teacher hated and what got me into figure drawing in the first place which is a not so subtle transition to the last thing I need to say.
I lied and i've been a dick without really realizing it. I mention a lot of times that i'm a novice artist but I guess just saying doesn't mean i've embraced it. There's a lot of times when I say that this isn't the best I could do, I rushed, I can do better but if I really felt that way then i guessed I've would have worked harder at it so in that sense I lied to myself. Truth is if I could do better I would, but I can't, the only thing I can do is try to improve. So from now on I'm putting everything out there even the pictures I never finished. Bathe in my noviceness, until I get better this is all I got.

Need Commercial Door Hinge Set
A handy person from USA says:
January 14, 2016
I need a commercial door hinge set. The door opens outward from the outside with the hinges offset on the right hand side. I've included pics of the bottom hinge (outside view) and the top hinge from an inside view. If you need to see an outside view of the top hinge I'll have to get it for you. The door is to a gas station office, maybe at the most 28 inches wide so its not that heavy.
Do you have anything that would work?

Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
January 14, 2016
I appears from your photos you have the 79-123 pivot set. I believe you will have to re-drill into the door for the top door pivot. The original older doors had three holes in the door to attach the top door pivot. The newer version, 79-123, has two mounting holes at 1-1/4". Take a look and let me know what you think.

It has come as a bit of a shock to return to normality after spending 10 pampered nights at the Residence.
This was my second time at this part of the Royal Mirage but I have stayed at The Palace and then the Arabian Court many times before.
Everything was thought of from very well trained staff.
I agree with a previous reviewer about Gareth, a pleasant, genuine restaurant manager, Swiss trained and you could tell.
Other staff members that deserve a mention were Noura and Dijo in the restaurant and the best room cleaner of all time Jahirul. I have never stayed in such a well cleaned and looked after hotel room.
The hotel does have some external noise problems with noisy party boats mainly at weekends anchoring just off shore and unfortunately when I was there the World Parachuting Championships were going on and there were noisy helicopters flying over the hotel to drop the competitors at Skydive Dubai.
I have experienced the resort pre Palm construction and even though it is now quite different externally the quality and service in the hotel remains second to none.

Sep 2 2008
Changes in the air?
Well 2008 is screaming by, and nothing much has changed here. I may post some of the work I've been doing later in the year. I am also considering giving this place a new lick of paint! The site design was originally intended to be plain and simple to keep attention on the actual work, but I think ultimately it failed, and instead looks rather drab and dull... the physical layout and general structure of the site could use some attention as well, and so I shall be looking into redeveloping the site, time permitting. It's unlikely anything will be rolled out this year, but hopefully next year!

The human race has more access to more information than ever before. Anything we want or need to know is literally within reaching distance of our fingertips. Unfortunately, some of the people who deliver it make us long for the day when news was tied to a brick and thrown at your front door. The news may not have always been accurate or even true, but at least it gave you something useful, like a brick. These are the TV talking heads who make us wish they would just stop talking.
10. Keith Olbermann
Source: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images
It pains us to put a man on this list who goes after some of the more egregious placeholders below with the foaming mouth of a rabid dog that swallowed a couple of extra strength Alka-Seltzer tablets. It is the more personal stories that get to us. He sometimes likes to dedicate part of his nightly MSNBC show to taking down people who have tried to take him and his network down by addressing their stories and gossip on the air. It's the news, not the World Wrestling Federation. If you have a beef with someone or a rivalry that needs fixing, do the classy thing. Address it off the air, slap on your rassling spandex, and challenge them to a no-holds barred cage match at Madison Square Garden. Then make sure the rest of us can watch it on Pay-Per-View. On second thought, lose the spandex. I just realized Olbermann has a lot of beefs with Rush Limbaugh.

The worst public relations job in the world right now has to be the guys and gals who represent New York stock trading firms. They must just sit in their offices all day long and dream about the easy, carefree workdays they led when they worked for the tobacco companies back in the 1980s. Rick Santelli doesn't seem to mind being their spokesperson when he's reporting live on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade and screaming about the losers getting money from the government with the kind of crazy indignation that you usually only see in Raiders fans or transients who argue with their shoes in public.

A lot of news shows, particularly morning news shows, are finding themselves in such dire financial straits that they have to take on sponsors that almost engulf their entire show, like the way MSNBC's Morning Joe did when they struck a deal with Starbucks. Fox & Friends should be next, except they really should think about striking a deal with the makers of Seroquel. Every day, hosts Brian Kilmeade, Gretchen Carlson, and Steve Doocy find something that they are convinced is a threat to the American people that, if not immediately addressed, will give them herpes or something. Except it's not something that actually has an effect on the people that are watching such as lack of affordable health care, increased standards for education, or a mandatory 10-foot strip club lap dance law. It's usually something that comes with two scoops of crazy.

Source:Kris Connor/Getty Images
The left wing media sphere needed a red meat-eating, gun-totin' good ol' boy and Ed Schultz stepped up to the plate with his little space of airwave called The Ed Show. MSNBC was happy to do it, for reasons other than the fact that they could prove they are keeping America safe by having one less gun out there that Dick Cheney could operate. They could also use his image to prove that not all gun-loving, high school football career-bragging average Joes are the reason their state is red. Unfortunately, he uses it to show that left-wingers can be just as loud and psychotically crazy as those on the right. He yells and screams just about every night, even as people are trying to talk, and uses his mutant power of projection (his X-Men name is "Diaphragmanny") to void the warranty on that new surround sound system you saved all summer to score. His behavior paints himself as the kind of TV screamer who probably thinks "Network" was a documentary.
6. Lou Dobbs
Source: M. Von Holden/FilmMagic/Getty Images
What if all news shows abandoned the idea of diversifying their news stories and instead decided to focus on just one topic? That's exactly what Lou Dobbs' show is like. It's the journalistic equivalent of Neopolitan ice cream if Neopolitan ice cream didn't come with strawberry or chocolate. Every issue on his show is linked back to his number one cause, illegal immigration, in some bizarre, twisted "Kevin Bacon Game" way. He has not only used it to create his slice of CNN ratings heaven, but it's also become a fun trick he can do at parties. Just name the issue and he'll link it back to illegal immigrants. Give it a try, any one will do: healthcare reform, the bank bailout, Barbara Eden's navel...
5. Glenn Beck
Source:M. Caulfield/WireImage/Getty Images
Imagine if a major nationally syndicated news network gave that guy at the bus station who screams about how the country is controlled by genetically-modified gerbils his own television show. That's not what Glenn Beck's show is like. But if you gave that guy a haircut that looked like Steve Martin had enlisted in the Army, then you'd have the Glenn Beck Program. A man so scared of his country's future under a non-Bush president that his white hair reflects his emotions (when he's happy, it turns spruce green), Beck treats every story with the wild-eyed look of a crazed conspiracy theorist who could prove his wackjob claims if the voices in his head would stop trying to talk over one another. He's made wild, unsubstantiated claims about how the U.S. Census and gay marriage will rip through the very fabric of America. He feels so strongly about these issues that he has broken down in tears on more than one occasion while he is still on the air.

4. Sean Hannity

It's hard to know where to start with Sean Hannity, so we'll go chronologically, which is the first time the word "logic" and "Sean Hannity" have ever appeared together in the same sentence. He hosted Fox News' first and only debate show with liberal commentator Alan Colmes where every debate consisted of just how wrong Colmes was on any particular issue. Then when Colmes left the show, he replaced his once formidable opponent with…Sean Hannity. Just about every news clip and sound byte on his show is taken out of context to fit his editorials and chopped up more than Steve Buscemi in Fargo.

His panelists are stacked to the nines with such insightful and well-reasoned news analysts like former Saturday Night Live actress Victoria Jackson. The news can swing whichever way Hannity wants it to when it's on his show. It's the television equivalent of riding a seesaw with former Chicago Bears defensive lineman William "The Refrigerator" Perry.
3. Alan Colmes
Source:Duffy-Marie Arnoult/WireImage/Getty Images
The only person worse than Hannity is his former counterpart, a weak-kneed left wing pundit who became the first person in television history hired for a news debate show to not participate in the debate. His trembling voice and weakened frame served as the perfect ying to Hannity's yang, if by perfect you mean letting an injured wildebeest share the same space with a fully grown African lion for 30 minutes a night. I've seen punching bags that put up more of a fight.
2. Bill O'Reilly
Source: Jeffrey Ufberg/WireImage/Getty Images
I could dedicate a new New Testament-length list of reasons for why Bill O'Reilly has one of the douchiest shows in the history of television. He yells and bullies guests who dare to express an opinion that he doesn't hold to at least within 1/100ths of a percent. He calls people he disagrees with pinheads and tells them to "shut up" while he is interviewing them and if they don't, he shuts their mic off. He stalks people who won't go on his show. Actually, he doesn't even stalk these people himself...he gets one of his staff members to do it for him.

Ever hear of the legal phrase "innocent until proven guilty"? Nancy hasn't. Her legal expertise seems to reflect that of a gossipy hair salon owner who bases all of her proof and evidence on the walls of public bathrooms and highway CB radio chatter. Every case that comes across her news desk is stamped guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which is her style because reasonable doesn't seem to exist in her vocabulary. And if the case happens to fall apart or fail to garner a conviction, she has a rather neat way of addressing the necessary correction: She gets someone else to report it! Sounds like someone went to the Bill O'Reilly School of Broadcast Journalism. I believe it is located right in between the Mike Tyson School of Voice and Diction and the Alan Colmes Debate College.
Luckily, not everyone falls for her crap.

The CMJ convention wrapped up in New York over the weekend with a healthy dose of Les Claypool. The Primus founder and rock innovator gave a lively keynote speech Saturday to the DIY section of the seminar, then performed with his band Frog Brigade later that night.
"Depending on what you want, being tied to a major label can be more of a hindrance than a help," he told a packed crowd of young musicians at the conference. "If you sound like Stone Temple Pilots or Korn, a major label is a good place to be. Get a good lawyer and in 10 years your career will be over. If you sound different, you want to be on an independent label."
Claypool used his own experience as a guide, describing how he built Primus up from scratch, then abandoned that group for other projects when he felt it was getting too predictable.
"It's harder to do commercial radio and TV that way," said Claypool, "but at this point in my career I'm not looking for that anyway."
Claypool concluded that "touring is the key to it all, especially now with the Internet and the new jam band audience out there."
Carlos Santana added another first to his long list of career achievements when "Shaman" entered the Billboard 200 Album chart and the Top Internet chart at No. 1, his first such debut ever. "Shaman" features collaborations with Michelle Branch, Seal, Dido, Macy Gray, P.O.D., Citizen Cope, Musiq, Chad Kroeger, Ozomatli and Placido Domingo among others.
The album racked up first week sales of 298,973 units, over four times the first-week total of the worldwide 25-million selling "Supernatural" album in 1999. The fast-breaking success of "Shaman" is propelled by its top five status on the Modern and Hot AC charts, and Top 10 place on top 40 and Mainstream AC for the album's first official single pick, "The Game Of Love," featuring multi-platinum singer Michelle Branch ("Everywhere"). In the third week since its impact date, "The Game Of Love" logged more than 78 million listens, according to BDS figures.
The promo video for "The Game Of Love," shot on location in Chicago by director Paul Fedor, already is firmly entrenched on the VH1 and MTV playlists. On opening night of the NBA season, millions of TNT cable viewers watched Santana and Michelle Branch perform "The Game Of Love" live during the pre-game festivities at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Singer-songwriter Paul Simon has a new greatest hits collection, "The Paul Simon Collection: On My Way, Don't Know Where I'm Goin'," just out on Warner Bros. The set features 19 Simon singles and album tracks released by Columbia and Warner Bros. from 1972-2000. The classic tunes include "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard," "Kodachrome," "Loves Me Like A Rock," "Still Crazy After All These Years," "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover," "Slip Slidin' Away," "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes," "You Can Call Me Al" and "Graceland." Also included are two tracks from Simon's "You're The One" album, "Love" and "Hurricane Eye."
The package also includes a limited-edition bonus disc featuring five previously unreleased live tracks -- "American Tune" (recorded in New York City, 1973) "Duncan" (recorded in London, 1973), "The Coast" (recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, 2002), "Mrs. Robinson" (recorded in New York City, 1999), and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Aaron Neville (recorded in New Orleans, 2001).
Bruce Springsteen showed up over the weekend for an impromptu jam session at the Light of Day benefit. Springsteen joined longtime pal Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers for a 90-minute set that included "I Can't Turn You Loose," "Fire," "Boom Boom," "96 Tears" (with Garland Jeffries), and "The Twist" (with Gary US Bonds).
Another figure in the rap world was gunned down over the weekend in New York, just days after Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC fame was killed. Kenneth Walker, 31, a Yonkers-based rap promoter, was shot and killed while sitting in his van in the Bronx. Police officials, who have been investigating the possibility Jam Master Jay's slaying was the beginning of a new rap gang war, have so far been unable to establish a connection between the two attacks.

Pottery in the region began around 1849, after John Caldwell Bloomfield inherited his father's estate.[2] Seeking to provide employment for his tenants, who had been affected by the Irish potato famine and, being an amateur mineralogist, he ordered a geological survey of his land. On finding that the area was rich in minerals, Bloomfield went into partnership with London architect Robert Williams Armstrong and Dublin merchant David McBirney. In setting up a pottery business, Bloomfield managed to get a railway line built to Belleek so that coal could be delivered with which to fire kilns.
Building started on the pottery in 1858. Initially starting with domestic products, it wasn't until 1863 that small amounts of the Parian porcelain for which Belleek is famous for to this day, was successfully produced. By 1865, the prestige of the company had increased enough that its market included Ireland, England, the United States, Canada and Australia, and clients included the Prince of Wales, Queen Victoria and the nobility.
