Student Database Design
Hi folks,
I'm doing a final year project for university which involves building a database to store student results, from which student transcripts can be automatically generated. Most of the marks for this project will be awarded for an accompanying written report, rather than the database itself. I'm on the System Design chapter now, so I'm talking about how I went about designing the database from an ER diagram, and considered important things like normalization.
At the moment, the academic administrator inputs the results into Excel spreadsheets, and copies the marks from various Excel files to produce a transcript. An annoying aspect of this project is that Excel must be retained for inputting data, which is then exported to my database.
I've attached a diagram showing the tables in my database. Basically, I want to write that I considered normalisation and referential integrity and all that lark. But I realise my design is not optimal. I know, for example, that the student table shouldn't have the overall marks for each year; these should be in a separate table. How should this work? Should it be like this:
studentNo (PK)
(JF stands for Junior Freshman etc)
Bear in mind that first year students will only have a JFmark value and second years will have a JFmark and SFmark etc etc etc. Or maybe someone has a much better suggestion? Also note that the overall marks absolutely must be stored in this database, because I'm not allowed run a query that will automatically calculate it from the studentresult table when needed.
Any tips appreciated,
PS I will admit: I am not a database programmer; I'm a complete amateur at this. I just want my report to look like I know what I'm talking about and the database structure is actually good. The people who will be marking it are not experts either.

Is this just an assignment, or are people actually going to use this system?
Because your requirements are asinine. If this is what they are actually teaching you in your classes that is shameful.
Off the top of my head, you need to normalize the Marks into a separate table. What if someone repeats a year? Or graduates early? Aggregate functions such as summing or averaging the marks will also be easier to perform if your schema is normalized.If it's not practically useful, then it's practically useless.

This is just an assignment. We were never taught about normalization. We were just given a brief overview of ER diagrams and referential integrity.
I have revised the database structure as you suggested. I'd be grateful if you could look at the attachment and tell me what you think.

Anyhoo - looking at your design - you have some unique constraints\ alternate keys that are not correct. It is not possible to work out any composite PKs or alternate keys either. Are all your PK columns underlined? Because if so there are errors - typically not enough columns for your PK.
Exam results - what's the deal with two year attributes?

It's a business degree with a bit of IT ;-)
In the ExamResults table, YearOfStudy refers to whether its Junior Freshman, Senior Freshman and so on. Year refers to the actual year the exam was taken e.g.2007. I know this isn't the optimal, but could you tell me how I could improve it, or where I could find a sample database for a student info system?
Best regards,

It's the OK magazine awards 2008 at the Pullman Hotel, King Power Complex in Bangkok. I guess it must be magazine award season because just a few days ago, Seventeen magazinee had their award show.
Celebrity sighting…
Hey it's old time pra'ek Sam Yuranan and "Lukkade" Metinee Kingpayom
Actor Mario Maurer and his checkered gray suit. Why Mario? Why would you do this to yourself? Why? I'm all for odd style but this is tacky.
Actor"Tack" Paranyoo Rodjanawuttitham, the suit looks too small. The pants….kinda tight?
Actress Tangmoe Pattarathida and Hi-So bf Gong
Paula Taylor, the shoes are nice but doesn't go with the dress. It's distracting.
Actress Nadia Nimitwanich has the right idea, blend. I notice her dress, but nothing else. It's flawless. I like her.
Dude, What in the heck are you wearing woman? Actress Cherry Khemupsorn wearing what appears to be the reincarnation of Bjork's 2001 Swan Dress at the Oscars.
The guy and the girl are young stars that I don't pay attention too. I believe the guy starred in the Thai Movie "Hormones". ??
Actor Pong Nawat plays escort to Miss OK magazine ambassador. She's cute.

Pong Nawat presenting Miss OK ambassador to the audience.
Ruj: the star accepting the Male Hot Stuff award.
Mario Maurer wins the Rising Star award. The guy in black is Tor Saksit.
Paula Taylor wins Male Heartthrob award, it's not what you think. She's not a person of the third category, meaning a transgender. The award means males love her. She makes their heart throb.
Chakrit Yamnam wins the Female Heartthrob award.
Tangmoe wins the Media Darling award.
The rest, I don't know.

Marquez poised to restart MotoGP winning streak after taking pole for British GP
Marc Marquez is poised to restart his MotoGP winning streak in Sunday's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The young Spaniard swept aside his rivals in qualifying to score his tenth pole position of the season with a huge 0.31s margin over Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso.
Completing the front row for the 20-lap race is 2013 Silverstone winner Jorge Lorenzo.
Marquez was in sublime form in qualifying over the fast bumps of Silverstone and dismissed the setback of a crash in the morning free practice session.
It is this sort of nerveless pace that was a crucial part of Marquez's opening sequence of 10 consecutive wins this season before losing out with fourth place at Brno last week.
Winner of the Czech GP was Marquez's Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa, who has qualified fifth at Silverstone.
The interruption to Marquez's winning streak has had no impact on his ambitions and mindset and he has a confidence-boosting time gap going into this race.
"I pushed for just one lap in qualifying and when I saw it was fast I slowed. Everything is going very well this weekend and I feel good on the bike over the bumps, I'm enjoying it," Marquez said.
"I am happy for my race rhythm, it is very strong. Now I'm just hoping for a sunny day and to fight for the win."
There are seven races remaining this season, including Silverstone.
Dovizioso continued his run of front-row starts on the Ducati that has the benefit of a supersoft tire allowed for Open class bikes.
If the weather remains cool and Ducati can race this softer tire then Dovizioso is justified in feeling confident with his race pace.
Meanwhile Lorenzo has found the Yamaha M1 much more difficult to handle at Silverstone this year following the switch to the heat-layered rear tire construction which does not suit his high corner speed style.
But he outpaced his teammate Valentino Rossi who will start sixth on the second row.
"I am very proud of my qualifying lap, I pushed to the limit even though the bike is difficult," Lorenzo said.
"I used the soft front tire but I'm not sure it is possible to race this tire."
Lorenzo is still searching for his first win of the season and it was his victory in this race last year that triggered a late season surge of wins.
But Marquez is at a much higher level than his 2013 rookie season and the Silverstone race, which normally favors Yamaha, will be crucial benchmark for the rest of the season.

It is difficult to describe the traditional approach used to train and manage staff because no standard approach has been determined to be effective in dementia care. However, it is known that adult learning is facilitated by specificity and job relevance. At Abe's Garden, these principles are incorporated into a staff training and management model developed and evaluated by Vanderbilt Center for Quality Aging researchers. This model is further evaluated and refined at Abe's Garden under the supervision of Vanderbilt faculty.
All care staff meet weekly for at least 10-20 minutes to focus on one specific aspect of care provision and learn strategies for improvement.
For example, training materials have been developed describing how to communicate with individuals who have dementia to promote independence and foster their ability to make choices about their daily care. To start, staff watch a brief video illustrating the desired staff behavior. Supervisory observations are conducted the week following the training session to determine if staff is practicing the strategies illustrated in the training. The subsequent weekly session provide staff feedback regarding observed behavior with an opportunity to discuss related matters. A new topic will also be introduced at this time.
Topics to be covered in the weekly staff training sessions include:
- Fostering a resident's independence
- Managing an agitated resident
- Recognizing side effects of medications (e.g., lethargy, excessive sleepiness)
- Improving a resident's food and fluid intake
- Socially engaging residents throughout the day
The training is weekly and ongoing, as it is designed to address concepts identified as important for maintaining quality of life for residents with dementia. Families may be invited to attend sessions and share strategies that their loved one prefers.
Enhancing Resident-Centered Care
Researchers from the Vanderbilt Center for Quality Aging recently completed a National Institute of Health (NIH) sponsored study that implemented a staff training and management model to enhance resident-centered care provision. Specifically, research staff shared video vignettes of staff-resident interactions during brief, weekly feedback sessions to demonstrate how to provide resident centered care.
Transferring Out of Bed
Incontinence Care
Dining Location
Coupled with the direct caregiver staff training, research staff also trained supervisory staff on how to conduct standardized observations of care for ongoing staff training and management purposes. The training and management model resulted in an increase in the staff provision of choice during morning care for all long-term care residents, including those with dementia.

Bloemfontein - Police overseeing the ANC centenary celebrations in Bloemfontein at the weekend need to separate their political affiliations from their sworn duty as officers, acting national police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi said on Thursday.
"This event is the first of its kind. We warn you, you might have voted, and might be a card carrying member of a party, but you are still police," he told over 3 000 officers at the Bennies Park police recreation centre in Bloemfontein.
"If I find anyone playing politics, we will deal with you severely."
Mkhwanazi said he was happy with security procedures in place for the centenary.
"We are comfortable and ready to police the events. You officers must focus and keep all members, VIPs, citizens and attendees safe."
He said a no-fly zone had been declared above Bloemfontein.
"We are policing the airspace. No aircraft will be flying here to come and crash into the stadium.
"We are also going to look underground for all those who use the tunnels like a mouse. Those with ill intentions will not be able to come here."
Mkhwanazi warned the officers to be on their best behaviour.
"We need to maintain a perfect image of the police officer. There will be no down time for the event. You are all on duty until the end, so there is no time to drink. We will not tolerate drunk officers."
He said the police presence in the town would be greater than at the climate change COP17 conference in Durban last year.
"In COP17 we had six heads of state. Now, we have 56 VIPs, including... heads of state, or former heads of state," he said.
"We are prepared to protect, and there will be no compromises."
More than 100 000 people were expected to attend festivities in the province, where the South African Native National Congress was founded on January 8 1912. It was renamed the African National Congress in 1923.
The party said all were welcome and no accreditation was needed. The army had been deployed to ensure security, particularly because of the heads of state who had confirmed their attendance.
They included Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, Nigeria's Goodluck Jonathan and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni.
It was still unclear if former president Nelson Mandela would attend the celebrations.
Nee blerrie Hel....! Dan gaan ek maar die naweek uit Bloem na Bloemhof toe !
You have freedom of choice and movement Oom Andries!
wonder if the smell is gona count as weapons of mass destruction....
English or Sepedi only!
One wonders if a white man aged 33 would be welcome.
I am sure you will be... Us South Africans are actually very tolerant and understanding of each other.
Certainly so... ANC is a non racial and non sexist political party. And everyone is invited to the celebrations, no accreditation required. Can even come along with my girlfriend and i.
If the ANC is non racial why do they sing 'Kill the boer' songs and implement racist policies like racial classification when applying for jobs, bursaries etc?
what a dumb c$%t. The whole SAPS is ANC. Only ANC card carriers get promoted. They are bussing in cops from the country for this jol at tax payers expense. The Nats were in charge for 56 years and never had a 50 year party.
No Fly Zone - Damn , I was hoping I could use my 'Floating Shark' over the weekend.
A no fly zone over bloem!?... Does that mean that all planes flying between cape town and jozi should reroute? What about those flying to bloem? Since when did the ANC buy the airspace, forgive my ignorance but I was unaware that one could buy airspace,(I didnt see that tender go up). Are they going to buy all the air in bloem as well so that on one but those at the celebrations are allowed to breathe?
The anc can fly aircraft? Really?
All that food. Hot as hell in Bloemfontein. No-fly zone? I doubt it.
I saw the footage as the police men received the threat to not be seen doing politics! I think there are no minors in the police force and maybe I don't understand why he being rude when saying that but..... why would you speak to people that way? R.E.S.P.E.C.T. If people working in the police force are so disrespected, why do you think they feel belittled and dishonored most of the time? The best way for them to express the way they feel is to turn the gun to their families and themselves. I might be wrong, but I believe when you work with people you treat them with respect no matter their position.
Sorry Karabo but this is how it works in the police and military, all over the world.
"We are policing the airspace. No aircraft will be flying here to come and crash into the stadium.
"We are also going to look underground for all those who use the tunnels like a mouse. Those with ill intentions will not be able to come here."
Paranoid much??? Lol
no terrorist would want to fly an aeroplane into the stadium, it'll only make a better place if that happened. - largely counter productive from a terrorist point of view :/
censored censored censored censored. gee thanks N24.
I'm in Bloemfontein. My stubborn 12-year old son would not listen when I ask him to ground his remote-controlled helicopter, which he ussually flies around the yard, until the heat is off. He maintains the "no-fly" rule does not apply to him, but I don't want to take any chances. Is he looking for trouble?
This is funny, you made my day.
I still say this is the opportunity of the century for ...............

Chiropody & Podiatry
In the UK podiatry is simply the new name for chiropody. The name was changed to podiatry in 1993 as it's the international recognised name for a foot specialist and also as it's slightly more appropriate; 'podiatry' refers just to feet while 'chiropody' refers to both feet and hands.
It's not just the name that has changed though. Podiatry is a constantly evolving profession, the extensive training given to students over the 3 or 4 years of their full time course and the continuing education after graduation enable Podiatrists to treat a vast array of foot and lower limb problems. Along with the most obvious treatments for corns and hard skin, specialties exist within the profession for almost any lower limb problem.
A common area of practice within podiatry, this deals with problems arising from the way your joints are aligned and your muscles function. Pain from poor alignment can affect not just your feet but your knees, hips and lower back.
These are custom made insoles that aim to reduce the symptoms resulting from biomechanical problems. Often these are used for controlling excessive pronation, commonly known as flat feet or fallen arches, but they can be useful for many other conditions.
High risk patient management
The largest group is patients with diabetes who benefit greatly from regular foot care and advice, but also those with arthritis, neurological or vascular conditions tend to have 'high risk' feet and should see a Podiatrist regularly.
Sports injuries
Often working alongside physiotherapists the Podiatrist's knowledge of lower limb function and orthotic treatments are put to good use in diagnosing and treating many lower limb sports injuries.
This technique is currently available at our Edinburgh 0131 662 0250 and Stranraer 01776 704 702 clinics.

Kochi, Mar 17 (UNI) The Nedumbaserry International Airport, near here, will be closed for day-time operations between November, 2008, and May, 2009, due to recarpeting of the runway, Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL) Managing Director S Bharath said today.
In a statement here, he said the bituminous runway needed to be recarpeted after seven to eight years of operation to maintain the surface and ensure longer life.
The runway at Cochin Airport will be completing nine years of operation in June, 2008, and its entire length now needed to be recarpeted.
Mr Bharath said CIAL has given advance intimation to all operating airlines and other agencies and requested them to reschedule their flights.
The CIAL MD was confident that the recarpeting work, which will see the airport closed for operations between 1000 hrs and 2000 hrs everyday, will not lead to any reduction in flight or passenger movement.
Responding to criticism from some quarters about the recarpeting being taken up at the height of the tourism season, Mr Bharath said this was unavoidable as the work could be done only after the rainy season.
Both domestic and international flights will continue to operate at Cochin airport, but with a different schedule, he added.

If you want proof that old saying 'a race car for the road' is more than a clich�, then combine Porsche's new 911 GT3 with a racetrack and let fly.
That's what Porsche Cars Australia did for the local media launch of the latest update to the GT3 this week, taking motoring hacks to Queensland Raceway for a day unfettered by speed limits, police radar and oncoming traffic.
It wasn't just a case of grab the keys and go your hardest though, as the launch was built around Porsche's Level 4 skills day, or Master Class. It's a day of structured on-track lapping designed to hone driving skills and improve lap times.
Conducted by former Bathurst 1000 winner Tomas Mezera, who runs the Porsche Sport Driving School, the Master Class included not only 40 laps per driver, but also detailed briefings and lap-by-lap satellite data analysis with an expert team of driving instructors.
If you're a punter it will cost nearly $3000 for the day, plus thousands more for the three training levels you must complete before taking part in the Master Class.
But if you want to know the process a racing driver goes through when testing or qualifying then this is as close as most of us will ever get. Appropriate really, because the GT3 is as close to a racing car as most of us will ever get.
On-sale for a little over $280,000, a rise of about $25,000 primarily blamed on the luxury car tax, the third revision of the GT3 continues to be an homologation special for Porsche's customer motorsport program, paying only lip service to road use.
It misses out on direct injection of its new 3.8-litre flat six engine, standard on other 911s. That's because this economy and performance enhancing feature is illegal under world motorsport rules for the GT3 sports car category.
It also misses out on PDK, the new dual-clutch transmission developed with Getrrag that is spreading through much of the 911 range. Again, in deference to the GT3's motorsport role, it comes only with a six-speed manual transmission.
What the new 911 GT3 drivetrain does get is a series of go-faster updates. First off, the engine is pretty much all-new compared to its predecessor, rising in capacity from 3.6 to 3.8-litres. �Variocam� variable valve adjustment is now standard on the exhaust as well as inlet valves, there are new inlet and exhaust manifolds and a louder sports exhaust.
The result of this work is a 15kW power increase to 320kW, torque rises from 405 to 430Nm, the 0-100km/h figures drops from 4.3 to 4.1 sec, the 0-160km/h from 8.7 to 8.2 secs and the top speed rises from 310km/h to 312km/h. Combined fuel consumption continues at 12.6L/100km and the engine meets the EU V emissions standard.
Aerodynamic improvements have doubled downforce for added grip. Other dynamic additions include standard stability control (PSM), lighter alloy wheels with centre-locking and the larger front brake rotors that grow in diameter from 350mm to 380mm. Active PASM suspension remains standard, but a new option is PADM, or Porsche Active Damper Mounts.
Worth $2890, they are claimed to improve the stance of the car in corners as they stiffen up hydraulically, then soften in a straight line to improve the ride. Another innovative feature, but aimed at the road, is a front-axle lift system that raises the nose by 30mm so steeper driveways and gutters can be crossed.
Add in visual and cosmetic updates including bi-Xenon headlights, larger air inlets, a new three-spoke steering wheel and more leather trim and the GT3 package is complete and ready to go on the road... or in this case the racetrack.
Mezera set a benchmark time around the Clubman version of Queensland Raceway for the media of 60.1 secs and then basically stood on the wall for much of the rest of the day and watched us miss the mark by varying amounts, depending on skill levels.
Yours truly sat back in the pack at 62.4 secs, 0.8 sec off the pace set by the day's fastest student, Michelin communications boss Adam Storey. He was officially there to tell us about Porsche's technical collaboration with Michelin that stretches back to 1969, but also put the GT3's Sport Cup Plus tyres to good use.
While Storey was starring, the rest of us were having our shortcomings exposed through the data. Too fast into corners, too slow out, not braking hard enough, braking too hard, the wrong line or just wrong-headed.
Between each session we would studiously troop in to be schooled by our instructor, who would overlay our squiggly data on top of Mezera's much smoother lap. Our flaws were exposed, there were no excuses, but there was plenty of advice and encouragement. Everyone managed to improve by the end of the day.
The two GT3s shared between the eight of us copped it all, impervious to some ham-fisted driving. Mezera had insisted the stability control stay on all day and it was a good call, the electronic safety net reigning in some over-ambitious driving, usually with little discernible evidence except the tell-tale light flickering on the dash.
It might sound crazy, but the car really did almost disappear into the background. The focus of the day became rectifying your own faults. That's because the GT3 does everything on the racetrack so well with so few vices it both flatters and exposes the driver at the same time.
But there are some memories that will linger for a long time. The rock-solid stability under hard braking at the end of the lumpy front straight, the brilliant consistency and longevity of the optional ceramic discs (a mere $20,590), the bark of the flat six on downchanges, its snarl under flat-out acceleration, the millimetric response of the steering and the amazing combination of mechanical and aerodynamic grip in high-speed corners.
Is it better than the old GT3? Who cares. The old one was pretty darn good and so is this one and Porsche will easily sell all 80 it plans to bring to Australia.
At the end of it all the cars disappeared for a wash, a check-over and a new set of tyres, in preparation for being wheeled out to do it all again today, tomorrow and the day after that. Mezera says the school's old cars are being retired after two years of trouble-free service.
The 911 GT3 is a racer for the road alright. But undoubtedly it's at its best when it's simply allowed to be a racer.

American Association for the Advancement of Science
Magnesium oxide, one of the simplest minerals on Earth, transforms into liquid metal under certain conditions likely to exist inside giant, Earth-like planets known as "super Earths", reports a new study in the journal Science.
The results hint that inside super Earths, the rocky substance of the deep mantle could actually be metallic, blurring the distinction between what is traditionally thought of as core (liquid metal) and mantle (rock). Liquid magnesium oxide may also produce a geodynamo, which is responsible for creating the magnetic field of planets.
On Earth, magnesium oxide is found everywhere, from the Earth's surface to its deepest mantle. Ryan Stewart McWilliams and colleagues found that at the extreme temperatures and pressures found inside large planets, magnesium oxide is completely transformed from a transparent ceramic to a liquid metal.
In their experiment, the researchers fired powerful lasers at a small piece of magnesium oxide. In just 1 billionth of a second, the sample was heated and squeezed to conditions found inside giant planets. The researchers observed the changing properties of the sample, which first morphed into a solid with a new crystal structure, and finally into a liquid metal.

The average life expectancy for a female born in 2010 is a ripe old 82.3 years, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), while a baby boy born in the same year can expect to grace the earth for an average 78.2 years.
But even many of today's adult Britons are aware that, with the value of their pension pots eroding faster than they are, they will have to continue working longer than expected. But what happens after that? It's almost impossible to envisage real old age before we get there but, if we are 'lucky' enough to reach it, who's going to take care of us, and how are we going to pay them?
When it comes to long-term care, rules and government budgets are akin to shifting sands but if you or someone you look after is going to need long-term care any time soon, here's a summary of what to expect...
Staying in your own home
According to a recent long-term care survey carried out by consumer group Which?, 88% of Britons would prefer to stay in their own home as they enter old age - even if they are no longer able to physically cope. And this means drafting in some help.
It is possible to employ care workers - also known as 'home help' or 'care attendants' - through your Local Authority (find contact details here) who will come to your home and provide personal care and practical support such as shopping, cleaning and cooking.
You will first need to pass a community care assessment test and demonstrate you are unable to complete tasks like this independently.
After the community care assessment, you will be told what care you might be eligible for. You will then need to undergo a separate financial assessment to establish how much you can afford to contribute to this cost.
Unfortunately, state support for care at home varies considerably between Local Authorities so your post code as well as your wallet will also determine the amount you may be able to claim.
If you are not eligible for Local Authority funding, it is possible to organise private care in the home through an independent home care provider. Make sure it is regulated by the Care Quality Commission as it legally should be. It may also be worth checking out local charities in your area, such as Age UK, to see if there is any other free support available to keep you in your home.
It may be the case that a family member is able and willing to look after you and the good news is they may not have to do it for free. The government pays a Carer's Allowance if your carer meets certain criteria, such as being over 16 and spending at least 35 hours a week looking after you. It's only £58.45 a week but many carers do not claim what they are entitled to.
You can find out more about Carer's allowance by calling the Carer's Allowance Unit on 0845 608 4321. Or you can make a claim to receive it online.
An equity release plan is another possible means of staying in your own home. This is where you take a mortgage against part or all of your property but don't repay the loan until you die or go into long-term care and the home is sold.
Known as a lifetime mortgage, the interest (the rate is fixed at the start) rolls up but, so long as the equity release provider is a member of trade body, The Equity Release Council (formerly SHIP), the debt is guaranteed never to exceed the market value of the property at the time of sale.
Home reversion plans are the other kind of equity release plan. This is where you sell (rather than mortgage) all or part of your home upfront for a tax-free lump sum and are permitted to stay there rent-free until you die.
Clearly though, this means the price you sell for will be well under market-value. How much less will depend on your age - the younger you are, the less you will pocket. You can find out more about equity release plans at the Equity Release Council's website. Always take independent financial advice before opting for any kind of equity release plan.
Residential care homes
For some elderly people, going into a live-in care home may be the only option available. But, even if you don't require day-to-day nursing while you are there, it's pricey.
According to a recent survey from nursing care agency, Prestige Nursing+Care, the annual cost of a single room in a UK residential care home in 2012, is a staggering £27,404, which is 5.6% or £1,451 higher than last year, and more than twice the rate of inflation.
On this basis, the average older person's savings pot would only be able to meet residential care costs for seven months, the research found. Average costs in some parts of the country are higher still, with London having even broken the £30,000 barrier.
If you require day-to-day nursing in your residential care home - or are moving to a specialist nursing home - costs are higher still. According to not-for-profit website, Payforcare.org, the average cost of a nursing home (or a residential home where nursing is required) is a staggering £37,500 a year.
Even if you don't need nursing care now, you may in the future. So how on earth can you pay for it? We take a look at the options:
See where you stand with your Local Authority
Many people are still under the impression that, if you are unable to look after yourself and need to go into a care home, the state will pick up the bill. But for many elderly people, this is not the case.
Nevertheless, you should still make your Local Authority your first port of call if you are planning on going into long-term care. It will carry out an assessment to see how much financial help you may be eligible for. As a benchmark, if your financial assets (which, unfortunately, includes your home) combine to a total value of less than £14,250, you are likely to qualify for full Local Authority funding for long-term care.
At the other end of the scale, if you have more than £23,250 in total assets, you will normally be expected to pay for your own care in full. And if you have assets between these two amounts you could receive partial Local Authority funding, although in this case you will be expected to pay £1 a week for every £250 of value over £14,250.
It's important to note that, even if you are accepted for all or some government funding, your choices of which care home to attend will be severely limited.
Use your capital to generate an income flow
If you do not qualify for adequate funding from the state for your long-term care, and you are a property owner, the obvious solution is to sell-up or downsize and release the equity. If you have dependants and want to hang onto your home until they can inherit, you could consider renting it out instead, which would mean retaining your capital.
This is a contentious and difficult choice that an estimated 20,000 older people face every year, according to Payingforcare.org. If you release capital from your property you should invest in a way that provides a steady and secure stream of income - for example, from government bonds, a savings account or low-risk equity investment - which will meet your monthly care home fees.
However, you will have to factor in tax which will be payable on both investment income (though not ISAs) and rental payments.
Your income from capital may also fluctuate while care home fees are likely to stay the same or rise - so this may not always form an adequate income.
Buy a care home annuity
If you are particularly elderly and have a sum available for investment, it is possible to buy annuity from a specialist care home provider that deals in impaired life expectancy. Because of the niche market, you may be offered a better guaranteed lifetime income than you would from buying an annuity on the general market. And, as the income from one of these products is paid straight to the care home, it can also prove tax-efficient.
While annuity income is usually fixed and care home fees are probably only going to rise, a specialist care home annuity providers may also reach an agreement with the care home on factoring in these rises upfront - say by 3% a year - freeing you and your family from any concerns about meeting future costs as, according to figures, one of four self-funders in care homes will run out of money and be left at the mercy of the state.
You can find out more about this option at Payingforcare.org. However, it is always important to shop around first for the best annuity on the open market.
Take out a long-term care plan
If you have a lump sum available, you could also consider buying a long-term care plan. These fall into categories of Immediate Funding and Deferred Funding, depending on when you need the money.
Once purchased, the company that provides the plan will then pay out money to help fund your care fees - for as long as you stay alive. The longer this is likely to be, the more expensive the care plan will be. It is possible to have the plan paid directly to the care home which, as discussed, can be a tax-efficient option.

'Aiyya' shows 'Jhalak' of J.J. School of Arts
In the movie, the male protagonist Suraj, played by southern actor Prithviraj, is a painting student. To bring more reality to the film, several parts of the film were shot in the institute, which was set up in Mumbai in 1857.
In 2010, the state government had banned shooting inside the prestigious institution after four 125 years old sculptures were severely damaged during a film shoot, but the makers of 'Aiyya' managed to get the permission from the school trustees.
The film is about a Marathi girl, Meenakshi Deshapande (Rani Mukerji) whose parents are trying to get her married and she falls in love with Suraj. Co-produced by Anurag Kashyap and Viacom 18, it is expected to hit theatres Oct 12.

when I promised to come back to it in more detail). So here it is.
It all started when I went to the internet to check some facts about how spinal TB was treated, including the use of plaster beds. I googled "tuberculosis of the spine", and came across a reference to a film held at the Wellcome Library in London, called "A demonstration by diagram and illustration of preparing anterior and posterior shells in the treatment of tuberculosis of the spine in children". So I decided to follow it up.
Because the film is very old, you have to view it with a member of the library staff in a special viewing room. So last July I made my first visit to the library – I've been a few times since then, and it's a fascinating place with lots of interesting medical history documents, objects and pictures. My appointment was with Angela Saward, Wellcome's curator of moving images, and I went with her to view the film in a special viewing room. She made sure I was comfortable and in a position to take notes, and offered to stop the film if I needed time to write, which I did at a couple of points. In fact, I was rather glad to have her there and that the viewing was set up in this rather academic way – it kept me fairly detached from what I was watching, rather than projecting myself into it more personally, as I might have done had I seen it on my own.
It's a black and white silent film, quite grainy and faded in places, so the only sound effects were the whirring of the projection, and my own hasty scribblings. It was made in 1936 at Abergate Sanatorium,
It shows the making of two plaster beds on a small boy – an "anterior shell", for him to lie on his front – and a "posterior shell", for lying on his back. As the film progresses, the different stages of the process are illustrated with diagrams at the bottom of the film. I've tried to reproduce some of these to illustrate the stages. My drawing skills are not very sophisticated, but I hope the diagrams will help make the process clear.
The posterior bed they made in the film went up over the child's head, as though for patients who had upper spinal problems, like some of you who have contributed to the blog. For this, the boy was placed face down on a frame, with a crossbar passing roughly under the stomach, to "ensure a degree of hyperextension of the spine" it said; in other words to keep it stretched and not curving inwards. His legs were bent and the shins and feet were raised by another pair of crossbars, one over the knees and one under the ankles – so that the finished bed would keep his legs slightly bent. (See diagram 1).
Diagram 1: Patient lying face down for making of
"posterior shell"
Next he was rubbed all over with Vaseline, and his head wrapped in a cloth. Then they laid strips of bandage-cloth impregnated with wet Plaster of Paris on the child's body in a carefully designed pattern, slightly overlapping and patted down till they all melded into a single piece (see Diagram 2 below).
Diagram 2: Patient lying face down for making of "posterior shell". The numbers show the order in which the strips were placed, and the arrows the direction of the strips
In the film, the first strip went from the bottom of the child's torso (leaving the behind clear) right up the centre of the back and over the head, and was carefully tucked in to follow the curve of the neck (1). Next came side slabs (2). Then a curved slab was placed round each shoulder just touching onto the central one (3), and another went across all three (sorry, I omitted this from the diagram, and I don't want to re-scan it). For the legs, a single strip was placed along the back of each leg, from the groin right down to the ankle (4). Then bandages soaked in plaster of Paris were rolled back and forth crossways to this slab, moving from thigh to ankle and creating a curved shell (5). As the different sections were applied, they were smoothed and slathered down very firmly until they form a continuous whole, with seam-lines down them which looked like those on a certain design of dress, or the taped joins of the 'liberty bodices' I remember wearing later on.
Finally, presumably when the plaster had dried enough to keep its shape, you saw the whole shell being removed, and placed on a wooden frame. The final frames show the child lying on his back in the plaster bed on the frame.
The process for the anterior bed – made on the front of the body for lying in face down – was pretty similar, except that the child's legs were straight, and there weren't any crossbars to maintain the correct position of the spine. In this one, the leg slabs went to just above the knee, with no further bandaging to and fro.
As to how it all relates to what I remember, this is quite a difficult question. Angela asked me if we had been as compliant as this child, who kept so still I thought they must have used a doll – which Angela doubted – or that he was anaesthetized. Both processes, but particularly the one for the 'posterior bed', looked extremely uncomfortable, so perhaps anaesthetization was used. Yet I don't remember any such discomfort, and I was certainly conscious throughout. What I do remember vividly was the feel of the plaster slabs, warm, wet, sticky and smelly, and the slapping and smoothing involved in their application. I imagine the Vaseline-ing must have been a strange sensation, too, though I don't remember that either. I wonder how they cleaned it off us afterwards – we must have had to have some sort of bed bath, I suppose.
I mentioned this film to Cynthia Coultas when we had a long talk on the phone not long ago. It seems that by the time Cynthia was involved in this process at Thorpe Arch, they used single sheets, rather than strips, laying them over the whole back, or front. Apparently, each patient had an anterior and a posterior bed made, because we had to be turned frequently to prevent bed sores. Funnily enough, I have no memory of being turned, yet from what Cynthia says it must have been quite a frequent process.
So watching the film jogged my memory, but also left me with a whole series of questions. For instance, I wonder what happened to our muscles over so many years of lying flat, and what kind of preparatory physiotherapy we were given before the magic moment when we actually stood up to walk. Without any at all our legs would surely have crumpled under us!
I wonder, too, why I didn't ask more questions about this all once I'd come out. I suppose at that age children take an awful lot for granted, and don't question something which, though it appears peculiar with hindsight, was our 'normality'. Then, coming home, it must have all faded into the background as I moved forward into a new 'normal life'. I did tend to explain my inability to perform certain physical activities in terms of my having been in hospital – for instance, I always found it very difficult to sit on the ground cross-legged, but really without analysing it too much at all.
Does any of this jog memories for anyone else? Does it contradict your memories, or help fill them in? Or does it jog other memories altogether? Perhaps Cynthia will have a look at this, too, and fill in details from the nursing point of view. Please comment and add details, questions, differences of view, and so on.

Philosophy Lexicon of Arguments
|Meta data
Books on Amazon
Definition mental reference/terminology/Boer: Thinking of: be a mental analogue to speaker reference.
Speaker reference/some authors: thesis: never exists in isolation, but is only partial aspect of a speech act (utterance).
Mental reference: should then only be a partial aspect of thinking-of-something. Probably, there is also predication.
Definition mental reference/Boer: to be in a state of thought with a content of thought which defines a fulfillment condition of which the object is a constituent.
Problem: non-existent objects.
Mental reference/Boer: it is hardly controversial to assume that it is a participation-independent relation, i.e. weakly metaphysical intentional.
It is controversial whether mental reference is also strongly metaphysical intentional.
Belief attribution: in everyday life, we regard e.g. "Some people believe that Atlantis sank in the sea" as true.
Problem: one may be afraid to attribute to these people an intentional relation to something non-existent.
Mental reference/Boer: Thesis: after having accepted the distinction "there is/exists", we can consider mental reference as an existence-independent relation.
On the other hand:
Belief/Boer: (instead of mental reference): here it is not so clear whether this is an existence-independent relation, solely because of the fact that we have the being/existent distinction.
Thought content/GI: Problem: we still do not know what thought contents are.
Platonism/N.B.: if we assume that thought content could be equated with propositions, states, or properties and that they would be accepted as Platonic in existence without having to participate in the world, then we would not have to assume the belief relation as existence-independent. But for this we need a proper theory of the nature of thought contents and attitude relations to them.
Mental reference/concept dependency/Boer: is it also dependent on the concept?
Concept dependency/logical form/Boer: according to (D5) would it be sufficient that mental reference (thinking about) implies that for a representation z, an intrinsic property of z and a behavior-determining relation Q:
A) x has Q z z
B) z contains something that expresses or maps y for x
C) Whether x has the relation Q to a representation of y depends on whether the representation has one or more of a range of intrinsic features. But this presupposes believe as a concept-dependent relation.
Believe/question: whether believe is a relation mediated by representations.
B) z has a fulfillment condition defined by y and
C) as above.
Believe/Representation/Boer: to clarify whether believe is a representational-mediated relation, we need a theory of propositional attitudes._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.

Launch to Learn Initiative Designed to Curb Summer Learning Loss
Albuquerque – Through a public/private/philanthropic partnership led by Mayor Richard J. Berry, Albuquerque children can have summer learning adventures designed to help curb summer learning loss through the Launch to Learn: Summer Learning Initiative program. Today, it was announced that this new program to combat the "summer slide" for children is will start late May.
Launch to Learn is a collaboration of community partners including the City of Albuquerque, Mission: Graduate, the Early Childhood Accountability Partnership, Albuquerque Public Schools, New Mexico PBS, Bernalillo County, Explora, The New Mexico Office of School and Adolescent Health, and dozens of youth-serving organizations that engage young people in the summer months. The summer learning framework has three core objectives:
- Connect youth to quality, integrated summer learning activities;
- Ensure that youth have access to healthy meals and snacks in the summer months; and
- Ensure that youth have access to quality health care services in preparation for the school year.
Using a "passport" system, Launch to Learn will create pathways to fun, engaging learning opportunities for students and their families. For students needing additional support in core subject areas (math, reading, science), this integrated system will illuminate ways to connect to libraries, museums, community centers, and maker spaces to mitigate the effects of the "summer slide."
The summer 2015 pilot will be open to preschool, elementary, and middle school students, but outreach efforts will be focused on elementary school students. Passports will be distributed to all APS Title I summer school students and will also be available at partner sites – museums, libraries, recreation centers, and other summer programs. During the summer months transportation can sometimes be a barrier to accessing the city's libraries, community centers and outdoor spaces. In response to this Mayor Berry has committed to provide 5,000 bus passes to students and their families in Title I school communities. These bus passes will give families the opportunity to explore the city's real world learning laboratory at the BioPark, museums, Explora, nature trails, libraries, and community centers. This large donation was made possible by ABQ Ride with the generous support of Nusenda Credit Union.
Through Launch to Learn, children are encouraged to visit participating partner sites to get their passports stamped; students can also complete activities of their own, such as retelling a story, creating art or getting exercise. Students will exchange their passports for prizes at the end of the summer.

Voiceworks #87 Play
Edited by Johannes Jakob
Voiceworks 87 'Play' is like the cute puppy that follows you around and wants to play fetch all the time. You can't afford not to pick it up and cuddle it (and buy it).
In this issue, Sian Campbell has a 'standard' Dungeons and Dragons experience, Alexandra Neill becomes a Quidditch player and Bronwyn Orr looks at the stories behind zoo animals. Katia Pase forgets to call her mother on her fiftieth birthday and J. Alberto Vasquez Sanchez recalls watching B-Movies about giant, evil turtles in El Salvador.
Also! We have all the stories and poems from the John Marsden Prize winners, there's an interview with playwright Chris Summers, the corners of the magazine are a flipbook and the cover is a DIY join-the-dots sort of a deal.
