Staying Safe Online
We have been made aware that there is currently some disturbing video content online, particularly on You Tube and You Tube for Kids. We would like to remind parents that we regularly discuss online safety in school, but it is equally important to check your device settings and parental controls and to talk regularly to your child about their online use. Talking regularly with your child will encourage them to be honest and give them the confidence to talk to a trusted adult about any issues or concerns they may have. Cleveland Police have issued a short clip from their Cyber Crime Team on how to keep your child safe.

Drawing Club – Visit to Darlington Library
On Wednesday 13th February, a group of children from our after school Drawing Club attended Crown Street Library to take part in their 'Art Project' – themed Roald Dahl. In the first half of the session, the children listened to extracts from The BFG which was read to them by two staff members from the library. Next, the children were taken in pairs to meet Donna, a professional artist, who had many pots of paint ready for the children to decorate the amazing reading bench which is shaped like a book! Once the children had painted the back of the bench, they painted their thumbs orange and were allowed to leave a thumb print on the seat of the bench, where it will remain there forever! As well a painting and reading, the group played with lego, designed a book cover and drew a 'Jar of Dreams' from their very own imagination. The library project has been running as part of the Darlington Bookfest Schools programme and the benches will be unveiled to the public during Festival Week. The children had a fantastic visit and they were excited to learn that their paintwork and orange thumbprints will be used in the library for generations to come!
Reception visit to The Bowes Museum
Our Art focus has been the Take One Picture project which involved a visit to The Bowes Museum to learn how to respond to a painting by Alexander van Bredael called "Cattle Market in Antwerp". We enjoyed finding animals and other objects in the painting and had fun making masks and a swan. Later, in the summer, there will be the opportunity for parents to attend an exhibition at the museum where all the artwork we have produced in response to the painting, will be on show.
Safer Internet Day
On Tuesday 5th February, Firthmoor Primary School celebrated Safer Internet Day 2019. The theme for this year was Our Internet, Our Choice: Understanding Consent in a Digital World. Classes explored the theme of consent/permission in various ways, including through role play, reading activities, watching videos and studying real-life examples. Children in Mr Jefferies' Year 5 class, for example, learnt the definitions of important 'data jargon' such as Cookies and Terms and Conditions and then came up with their own responses to an imaginary online request to post photos online. In Years 3 and 4, children decided if they needed permission or not in online scenarios, while in Year 2, the focus was on knowing which websites, apps and games are appropriate. Mrs Irwin led an assembly which further explored the idea of consent and the Year 6 Cybersquad were also on hand at breaktime to answer any questions children had about staying safe online and using the Internet responsibly.
An actor in the making!
Our Year 4 pupil, Jasmine, is to star in Peter Pan as a Lost Boy. The Disney classic will be showing at Darlington Hippodrome during the Easter holiday, and Jasmine will perform on Sunday 13th April. Jasmine joined an amateur dramatics group at the Hippodrome when she gave up her beloved dancing classes to pursue acting instead. In the show, not only does Jasmine have a prolific speaking part, but she also does a dance routine! Jasmine says "It's a lot of fun being in the pantomime, but sometimes it's really hard to remember everything! I'm really looking forward to the experience"
Visit to Lucy Pittaway Exhibition at Preston Park Museum
Children from Y3VM and Y3/4SB went on a trip to Preston Park. Prior to our visit we studied a map of Tees Heritage Park, the area around Preston Park. We were able to follow the direction of the 8 compass points to be able to find our way around the map and see what physical features we would pass on our journey. Once at Preston Park we were fortunate enough to observe a Lucy Pittaway exhibition and see her art work in real life as well as find out how much the prints would cost to buy! We were shocked! The most expensive painting was £565! We also spent a lot of time in the Victorian Street, finding out what life would be like for the characters in our class text, Ice Monster. We visited a grocery store, a chemist, a sweet shop and a police station and found out how different life was like then compared to now. The museum is huge but we managed to make our way round the museum and its grounds by following a map of the area and reading the coordinates; in order to find the location of the different rooms within the museum. There was so much to see we could have spent another day there!

Loved playing football on Summit in front of your house.
across from Fazio's. When I was 10 I was your paperboy. Bill used to chase us.
Hi Mary Lou. Sorry, I just noticed Dave Manco took down the info for the summer picnic to put up a golf outing website. That should only be up for a few days. The picnic itself is on Saturday July 30, 2016 from 1-10 at the Rose Barn in North Park. I look forward to seeing you again, and spread the word to other classmates that you may talk to. Take care

Thanks for the message. I lived in Cambridge, MA for about 6 years while I was doing my graduate program at MIT. What part of the Boston area do you live in?
My family and I are in Pittsburgh - in the Fox Chapel area, which we like quite a bit. When I first returned to Pittsburgh in the late 80s, I actually lived in my parents home (both were deceased at the time) for about two years. Bellevue seemed so different then as comparison to when we grew up. It really lacked the vibracy that we knew.
How is Bill doing? I hope that I might see you or your brother at some reunion in the future.
Let's keep in touch.

Hi Marylou:
Yes, it was great to see you also at Norma's party. I do plan on attending this reunion. Should be interesting with so many different classes attending. I love the pictures you posted.. Ann Marie.
Hey girl, another classmate from the best class ever at BHS jumps aboard; thanks! Hope you are planning on attending the picnic at the end of the month. It's in lieu of our '40th.

September 11: Teaching Tragedy
Updated September 2, 2019
As the eighteenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks nears, the Smithsonian continues to offer its September 11: Bewaring Witness to History. Along with blog posts, the site also links to the extensive resources of the three memorial websites. Though some of the links from its 2011 collections no longer work, others link to a digital archive of on-site photographs and objects from the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Also for teachers, Pam Moran makes the argument for including 9/11 in students' study of history in a NYT Learning Network post from 2011. Last year, at the 10th anniversary, the Learning Network also posted teachers' 9/11 lesson ideas and projects.
Scholastic also offers its 9/11 resources assembled last year. A set of FAQs is available for younger students. "I Was 11 on 9/11" describes sixth-grader Emily Sussell's escape from a school four blocks from the Twin Towers and the days that followed. The article is detailed enough to provide a timeline of events. Writing for older middle grades children, a Scholastic editor remembers the morning of 9/11 when her brother died in one of the Twin Towers and the impact of the almost 3000 deaths on families and friends. Elsewhere on the site, Scholastic provides an October, 2011 article on the war in Afghanistan, including the death of Osama bin Laden. A December, 2011 article, in noting the end of the war in Iraq, gives a quick review of the US fighting in that country.
If you decide to use video and audio of the attacks, the History Channel provides timelines and interactive maps with linked video clips. The recently updated site also contains resources on the rebirth of the World Trade Center.
The anti-Muslim/anti-foreigner hate crimes that erupted immediately following 9/11 continued. in 2011 a Joplin, Missouri mosque was burned and a Murfreesboro, Tennessee Islamic center opened after months of vandalism, arson, and court challenges. In the same month a gunman killed six members of the Sikh community in Oak Creek, Wisconsin as they worshiped. This op-ed article in the Atlanta Black Star expresses concern about the lack of "national outrage."
The Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance project provides lessons to help students recognize stereotyping. "Debunking Muslim Myths" uses graphs to show Muslims' place in American society. "Because I Had a Turban" goes inside schools to report students' experiences of discrimination. The lesson offers suggestions for building tolerance in the classroom. You will also find links to other Teaching Tolerance lessons on the sensitivity and legal issues around discussing religion in the classroom. "Bringing 9/11 in the Classroom—Useful Lessons," from 2011, links to several with most resources still available.
Students can see how writers respond to loss in "The Names," a poem by former poet laureate Billy Collins, read at PBS News Hour September 11, 2011. The video features photographs of people killed on 9/11.
In a Book Whisperer post on books to build community in the classroom, Donalyn Miller recommends 14 Cows for America by Carmen Agra Deedy. The book recounts how Maasai villagers in Kenya responded to the 9/11 attacks by giving 14 cows, their most prized possessions, to America.

Australian and international farm policy news
Brexit – aftershocks or opportunity for Australia?
The vote by British citizens in the June referendum to leave the European Union has shocked not only the EU, but also many of the British people. This was evident when it became apparent the British Government had no plans in place to manage the exit process.
There has been enormous amount of speculation and commentary of what may happen in the future, only time will determine what policies are put in place. UK farmers will be eager and lobbying hard to secure funding to support their agricultural industry from their own government. There is little doubt that future funding will not be as lucrative as the current CAP payments under the EU agreement. The Australian wine industry will be watching with great interest, as Britain is its number one destination for exports by volume. Britain is Australia's seventh largest trading partner and second in the supply of direct foreign investment into Australia. While opportunities for Australian agriculture may not be apparent, the progress in this space will be watched with great interest.
Bird flu devastates central Africa
Countries across west and central Africa are on high alert as highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 continues to spread. Six countries have encountered the virus, these being Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Niger, Nigeria and Cameroon. Nigeria continues to be the most affected with 750 outbreaks and 3.5 million birds dead or culled. The FAO is concerned the disease could travel southwards, and international emergency responses have been triggered to help contain the spread.
Avian influzena continues to be a huge biosecurity concern to the poultry industry across the globe. Only 12 months ago up to 48 million birds (turkeys and layer hens) were affected in the Midwest of the US. These outbreaks should act as a caution to those in Australia who advocate that all of the poultry industry should be based on free-range production systems.
EU dairy industry receives crucial support
Dairy supply continues to exceed demand in world markets, and a market turnaround is not predicted until at least 2017. Low dairy prices are having an impact in both domestic and international markets. In response, the European Commission has announced a suite of measures worth €500 million to support EU dairy farmers.
The three main elements of the funding are: an EU-wide scheme to incentivise a reduction in milk production; conditional adjustment aid (implemented at Member State level); and a range of technical measures to provide greater flexibility (these include early payments and stockholding of milk powder by the EU). This is an additional and separate package from the €500 million made available to the sector by the EU last September via a range of measures, including permitting milk producers to enter into voluntary agreements to limit milk production.
Record wheat crop predicted for 2016/17
In Australia, 2016 is shaping up to be a solid season for winter cereals due to widespread rainfalls from west coast to the east coast. The recent WASDE report (July 2016) shows that global wheat supplies have been increased due to favourable weather conditions in Russia and the Ukraine (an extra 1 million tonnes increase). Along with a smaller increase for production in Argentina, Australia and Canada (0.5 million tonnes increase). These extra increases of production have offset a decrease in the EU, which is largely due to the impact of heavy rain in France (down 1 million tonnes) and Algeria (0.7 million tonnes). The report went on to state total world production is now projected at a record 738.5 million tonnes. Global use is estimated at 729.3 million tonnes, rising due to increased feed usage. This leaves the world wheat stocks at the high level of 253.7 million tonnes. Domestically wheat prices look like continuing in a price trough. This may create some challenges on-farm in covering the cost of production.
New Zealand has a big plan to tackle predators
In July, the NZ Government announced the Predator Free New Zealand 2050 target and its plans to set up a new public-private partnership company by the beginning of 2017. This company will help fund regional large-scale predator eradication programs. The main predators to be targeted are possums, rats and stoats. This program will have positive impacts for farmers and the primary sector. Possums and ferrets are the main carrier of bovine tuberculosis which is very destructive disease for cattle and deer. A great conservation project with agricultural productivity benefits, it will be interesting to observe if the ambitious goals, collective efforts, shared resources and utilisation of current technology can achieve the predator free status in New Zealand by 2050.

It is about a teenager named Katherine whose normal life is turned upside down with the threat of an impending landslide. A series of choices leads her to the decision on whether or not to risk her life to save a young neighbor.
Hope you enjoy it. Feedback is always welcome.
Katherine awoke to the soft tapping of rain on the windows. She groaned and rolled over. "Fourth day in a row. Gotta love Mother Nature," she muttered. A beep from beside her made her glance at her cell phone. It was a message from Emma Smith asking if she wanted to get together and finish their economics project. "Here's hoping there's no school. We are so far behind," she muttered as she ran a brush through her raven hair. She threw on a pair of black jean shorts and a blue t-shirt before heading into the kitchen.
"Morning Mom. They cancel school again today?" Katherine grabbed a bagel and a glass of orange juice and looked over at her mother.
"Uh-huh," her mother answered as she turned up the little weather radio on the counter. "Katherine, I want you to stay close to the house today."
"But Mom, I was gonna meet up with Emma and work on our project. Mr. Larson said it will be due as soon as we get back," Katherine complained as she took out her cell to text Emma back.
"No buts Katherine. This weather is making the mountain unstable. A slide can happen any second."
Katherine rolled her eyes. "The rain is stopping, Mother. It's only a light drizzle now," she said as she glanced out the window. The sky was lightening up for the first time in days. The mountain the locals called "Bear" towered over the neighbors' homes down the road. "Emma is just down the road. I won't be far."
"Emma is farther up the mountain. The danger isn't over just because the rain is," her mother replied as she tied her shoes. "I'm sure you and Emma can work on your project just fine over the computer. You seem to be able to do everything else on it."
Katherine looked up from the cell phone and her bagel. "You're going into work? After telling me to stay here?"
"Don't be sassy with me, Katherine. I have to go man the phones at the 911 Center. Larry, Micah, and Rose are all stranded on the other side of the river. It's just me and Josh in case something happens. Evacuate if you notice anything unusual: sagging trees, mud sliding down."
Katherine tuned her mother out. It was all information she had heard before. Every few years there was a landslide scare around Bear Mountain and nothing ever happened. She was tired of hearing it.
"…You hear me, Katherine? The keys to the Honda are on the shelf in the hallway. Katherine!"
"Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Bye Mom," Katherine retorted as she finished texting Emma. She had no intention of staying home; there was no way Emma could send her all those pages with their budgets and finances. Besides, she hadn't seen her BFF in forever!
"I mean it, Katherine. I have a bad feeling about this."
"I know, Mom. Just like you claim that everyone in the family sees dead relatives just before they are about to die," Katherine snorted.
"Don't joke about that! Your Uncle Henry saw your great grandfather two hours before his heart attack and your cousin Maria saw Aunt Sissy three days before….You know what, forget it. I'm going to be late," her mom snapped as she headed out the door.
Katherine got up and stretched. "I cannot believe Mom still expects me to believe that story. How old does she think I am? Eight?" she muttered as she retrieved her book bag from her room.
She paused in the kitchen again and listened to the little white weather radio. There were warnings about floods in the valley from spotters, but nothing that would suggest Bear was in any danger of collapsing. Her mom was overreacting … again.
Katherine shook her head and turned off the radio. She had more important things to worry about, like getting all those numbers figured out so she and Emma didn't fail Econ. If they failed, they wouldn't be able to graduate and Katherine had worked too damn long to let one stupid class get in her way.
She slid her phone down into her pocket and hefted her heavy black book bag over her right shoulder. Who would have thought it only contained stuff for Econ; it was as heavy as the rest of her books combined. "I'll be so glad when this evil class is over," Katherine grumbled as she grabbed the keys on her way out the door.
She dumped the bag in the passenger seat of the blue Honda, slid into the driver's seat, cranked up the volume of the CD player for Brantley Gilbert's "Hell on Wheels," and headed down the road.
About halfway to Emma's house, Katherine noticed a white car pulled over on the side of the road. It looked like her friend's family car. She pulled up behind it as seven cars passed her, heading down the mountain.
Emma's father was standing on the Johnsons' front pouch. As she got out, Katherine saw Emma jump out of the other car. "Kathy, I just tried to text you! You need to get outta here, girl!"
Katherine looked at her in confusion and noticed the fear in her friend's blue eyes. "What's going on? I thought we were getting together at your . . ."
"Grandpa thinks a landslide is imminent. We were headed down the mountain warning the neighbors. The Johnsons and the Murphys are the only ones we did not get ahold of yet," Emma replied.
Katherine looked toward the porch where Emma's father was talking to Mrs. Johnson, who was holding baby Peter. Katherine knew the whole family because she had often been their babysitter. Mrs. Johnson looked frantic as she started calling, "Robby! Robby, come here right now!"
Katherine and Emma looked at each other. Robby was the Johnsons' eldest boy. The girls waited for the seven year old to appear, but no one did. Katherine looked back at the porch. "He wanted to go catch frogs. I told him no, but he must have took off anyway," Mrs. Johnson explained. "I have to go find him."
"No, I'll find him," Mr. Smith said firmly. "You need to get the baby and yourself out of here right now." He grabbed her arm and started guiding her toward the family car.
"I'll help you look for Robby," Katherine volunteered as they got closer to the cars.
"No Katherine. You need to leave with Emma and the others. It's not safe," he said as they heard a soft rumble.
"What's that?" Katherine asked, looking around.
"It's the mountain. We need to get out of here. Get in the cars," Emma's dad ordered as he pushed Emma back towards the car.
"Robby doesn't know you. He won't come to strangers. You have to let me help," Katherine pleaded.
Mr. Smith glanced over at Robby's mom. "It's true. Robby's really shy. He loves Katherine though."
He sighed. "Fine. The rest of you get out of here now and call 911. Katherine, stay close. Have your car keys ready," he replied. "Where would he go to catch frogs?"
"There's a big pond about 6 houses up the mountain. The boys always find frogs around there," Katherine replied as they started running up the street. The other car left, speeding down the street.
As they got closer to the pond, Katherine noticed some of the dark evergreens leaning toward the road. She frowned, trying to remember if they were always tilted like that. She couldn't remember. Mr. Smith was looking around. "I don't see him. Call for him, Katherine."
"Robby! Hey Robby, come here!" Katherine shouted. She winced, wondering whether you could trigger a landslide with a loud noise like an avalanche. She looked around, trying to see the boy. "Robby!" she said again.
A moment later, she saw a little boy with muddy clothes run up from the backyard. Robby was grinning, clutching a giant bullfrog in his tiny hands. "Kathy, look what I found!"
Katherine smiled in relief. "Cool, but we gotta go, Robby."
Robby stopped and looked at Mr. Smith. "Who's that? Why do we gotta go?"
"That is my friend's dad. The weather is bad," Katherine said as she picked the boy up. She staggered under his weight as they started back. She tried to hand the boy to Mr. Smith, but he resisted, dropping the bullfrog to wrap his arms around her neck.
"Here, take my keys, Mr. Smith," she said, awkwardly dropping them into his hand. "I won't be able to unlock the car with him hanging on so tight."
"The weather is not bad," Robby complained as they kept going. Katherine ignored him, focusing all her attention on walking. She looked up as several sharp cracks filled the air.
"What is-" she started when Mr. Smith suddenly snatched Robby from her arms and started running. The movement was so sudden that the boy did not have time to react before he was in the stranger's arms.
"The trees are giving out! Run," he shouted. Katherine did as she was told, even as she glanced up to see trees high up the mountain disappearing from sight. Panic filled her. She realized that if she had listened to her mom she would have gotten Emma's text at home and would have been safely down in the valley by now. But if she had listened who would have rescued Robby? Mrs. Johnson could not have run with two children in her arms, and Robby would not have gone to Mr. Smith if he had been alone.
She pushed her body to go faster as the distant rumbling and snapping of trees turned into a deafening roar. Mr. Smith was ahead of her with Robby and she could see his lips moving as he turned and tried to say something but she could not hear him.
A flash of orange from her left side caught her eye and she stopped suddenly, realizing there was another child still on the mountain. Katherine turned slightly and froze as she recognized her little cousin Maria. The blonde girl was wearing the same orange shirt she had had on when she had been hit by the car.
Katherine screamed just before her world went dark.
When consciousness reasserted itself, Katherine tried to open her eyes. Immediately she realized all she could see was blackness. She couldn't see! Why couldn't she see? She opened her mouth to scream and started choking as soft particles clogged her throat and nose.
She tried to move whatever it was that was on top of her and found it difficult to shift her arms. The substance around her crumbled against her fingers and felt slightly moist. Katherine coughed, straining to get air. She felt her heartbeat accelerating, although its distinctive lub-dub could barely be heard.
Katherine's stomach felt as if it had dropped several nauseating feet as she grasped the situation. She was imprisoned under the earth. Her first instinct was to scream again but she bit her lip firmly to prevent it, knowing it would only fill her lungs with soil. She had to get out and quickly. She curled her fingers and started to claw at the dirt above her. Grains of earth slid across her face as she fought to break free. Her arms seemed to drag through an endless amount of dirt and they started to tremble. Katherine swallowed a glob of saliva that had accumulated in her throat and wondered where the air was. How far down could she be?
Katherine hoped that Mr. Smith and Robby had made it to her car, made it out. The image of her cousin in her bright shirt standing in the wet grass filled her with fear. All the tales about her family were true. They really did see dead relatives before they died.
She felt a burning sensation deep in her chest as her body demanded air. The urge to open her mouth or inhale through her mouth intensified as the agony in her chest sharpened until she gasped involuntarily and a river of dirt flowed into her lungs. Tears wet her cheeks and the particles of soil around her face and hands. She was going to die.

The 6th annual So iLL Showdown is only two days away! We rebooted this event in 2014 and in the time since, the Showdown has quickly become the most anticipated climbing competition in the region. Each year, we have the privilege of working with a talented team whose skills and experience help us deliver an incredible event.
This year, we are proud to announce that two guest setters are working alongside Climb So iLL's house routesetting team to create the range of problems that will ultimately decide the 2019 Men's and Women's Showdown Champions.
Photo: Touchstone Climbing
Lauren Reynolds
USAC Level 2 Routesetter
Lauren Reynolds will be rejoining the team this year; hailing from Vancouver, WA, Lauren is a freelance competition setter.
Lauren began her setting career shortly after she began climbing. Her drive to learn new techniques and climbing movement motivated her to make the shift from climber to routesetter. In that time, Lauren has set for various USA Climbing youth competitions. Most notable, Lauren set for the Woman Up competition at Touchstone's San Francisco location – Dogpath Boulders. This event was set entirely by a female routesetting team for a female-only competitor pool.
"Routesetting and climbing is a male dominated industry. Encouraging other women to participate in climbing and setting is one factor that influences me to continue setting. There have been days where I want to get a typical 9 to 5 and make the big bucks because setting is hard, hard work. But if I drop out, that's one less woman there to help the trade progress. And that's what setting is all about: progress."
Steven Jeffery
USAC Level 4 Routesetter
Steven Jeffrey joins us from Salt Lake City, UT. His career as a professional routesetter spans 25 years at gyms across the United States and overseas. That career includes being the head setter for the Psicobloc Masters series five years running, the head setter for the Portland Boulder Rally (2012-2015), and setting for USA Climbing's Sport Nationals in 2006 and 2007.
"I was a professional rock climber for years; becoming a top-level competition climber made it easy for me to move into routesetting as a career. To be a versatile setter, you need to be a good climber all-around and have a true understanding of how climbing movement works.
"I have always seen the Showdown from afar and loved the So iLL mentality of thinking outside the box…I'm psyched to hang out and see what we can do as a team this year."

On Monday night's gut-wrenching episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki Gunvalson found out on camera that her mom had passed away that morning. It was heartbreaking to watch her hang up the phone and cry to the other Housewives as they tried to comfort her, but it's possibly one of the most real pieces of reality TV ever.
Gunvalson opened up to series creator Andy Cohen about filming that scene, and she said she had no regrets.
"It's part of my reality. I lost my mother. I signed up for all areas of my life to be exposed -- the good and the bad. There's been a lot of great moments that have been aired and there's a lot of moments that I wish I wasn't on a reality show," she said in the pre-recorded interview.
She continued, "This is not a moment that I feel, as of right now, that I regret, because statistically people are going to lose their parents, right? We're going to be alive when our parents die, statistically ... I don't blame Bravo, I don't blame [production company behind RHOC] Evolution, I don't blame anybody -- it's my life."
I'm amazed that she felt brave enough to let viewers see her in her grief like that. Her mom, Joanne Steinmetz, died unexpectedly just this past February, so it's still fresh for the reality star. She said that it will hit her randomly, like overhearing someone talk to their own mother on the phone. "I was like, 'Oh my God, I would give anything right now to call my mom and tell her I love her,'" she said. "Anything. I would give my life to be able to call her."
More from The Stir: Vicki Gunvalson Lashes Out at Fans Who Don't Like Brooks Ayers
It will be interesting to see how this may affect her own relationship with her daughter Briana, who has taken issue with her mom for dating Brooks Ayers. Ayers has been abusive to Vicki in the past, and her daughter is obviously worried about her. Then again, Brooks developed stage three non-Hodgkin's lymphoma late last year, so maybe that's given him the wake-up call he needed to treat Vicki right?
No matter what happens, I think letting us into that dark corner of her life was a commendable thing for Vicki to do. We're so used to table-throwing drama on these shows that it's a poignant reminder in cases like this that these are real people, not just characters on a show.
Vicki concluded about filming the scene, "It's life. And we're all going to die ... We're all going to die one day." That's true. Just most of us likely won't have cameras rolling.

Quotes by Rabindranath Tagore you should read every once in a while
The very first non- European to win Nobel Prize award in the year 1913 for Literature, Rabindranath Tagore was born today, i.e. 7th May. On the occasion of his birth anniversary, here are some benevolent quotes by Gurudev for you…
I Traveled the Old Road
"I traveled the old road every day, I took my fruits to the market,
my cattle to the meadows, I ferried my boat across the stream and
all the ways were well known to me.
One morning my basket was heavy with wares. Men were busy in
the fields, the pastures crowded with cattle; the breast of earth
heaved with the mirth of ripening rice.
Suddenly there was a tremor in the air, and the sky seemed to
kiss me on my forehead. My mind started up like the morning out of
I forgot to follow the track. I stepped a few paces from the
path, and my familiar world appeared strange to me, like a flower
I had only known in bud.
My everyday wisdom was ashamed. I went astray in the fairyland
of things. It was the best luck of my life that I lost my path that
morning, and found my eternal childhood."
"Where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders."
"The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence."
"The mind of the child is always on the alert, restless and eager to receive firsthand knowledge from mother nature. Children should be surrounded with the things of nature which have their own educational value. Their minds should be allowed to stumble upon and surprised at everything that happens in today's life"
"The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough."
"It sometimes strikes me how immensely fortunate I am that each day should take its place in my life, either reddened with the rising and setting sun, or refreshingly cool with deep, dark clouds, or blooming like a white flower in the moonlight. What untold wealth!"
"Who are you, reader, reading my poems an hundred years hence?
I cannot send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold from yonder clouds. Open your doors and look abroad."
"The traveler has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, and one has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end."
Rabindranath Tagore loved to travel, rather that was a family trait that was transformed to him. Tagore also had his siblings who were artist, painters, writers themselves. His first book got published under his real name when he was merely sixteen years and his work is appreciated still almost everywhere around the globe.
Tagore wrote poetry which is the most appreciated along with dramas, novels and short stories. A series called "Stories by Rabindranath Tagore" has been made by the EPIC channel which very beautifully brings the imaginary tales to life. You can also watch them on NETFLIX.
Here's to pure, simple and beautiful literature that keeps us all sane through tough times…

These Climate Scientists Think House Science Chair Lamar Smith Has No Idea What He's Talking About
Source: Gizmodo
Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, the Republican chair of the House Science Committee who also happens to believe global warming might actually be a really good thing, flew off the hook this week. The cause? The New York Times publicized a draft version of a federal scientific report which climate scientists worry Donald Trump's administration is preparing to suppress or doctor.
In a statement, Smith argued the "alarmist media is at it again" and tried to one-up the thousands of studies referred to in the report, suggesting he knows better than the tens of thousands of scientists who wrote them.
Seriously, Smith is done with the whole Republican "I'm not a scientist" line. In his telling, Smith has practically done the research himself, with his mighty brain striking like thunder at dubious scientific methodology.

The sun is shining and I'm sitting in the shade of a pavement café in West London enjoying the frothiest of coffees, and watching the world pass me by. Bank Holidays, don't you just love them?
Or do you? If you are a Freelancer or a Contractor what do you really think of Bank Holidays?
These days many employees in the private sector have no option but to work on a Bank Holiday; think of all those people working in retail today or the smiley waitress who brought me my coffee earlier. They won't be paid any extra for working on this 'special day'.
But as we know there are still many firms who close the doors completely and their employees will enjoy this 3 day weekend with their feet up and the same monthly salary hitting their bank account at the end of the month.
What if your current contract is onsite and your clients' offices are closed today?
That's one less day's billing for you in August.
Maybe you have an outstanding invoice with another client…
It's going to be tomorrow before you can call up and chase someone for it.
Estimates suggest that each bank holiday costs the economy around 6 billion in lost revenue, how much will it cost you?
A survey of PCG (check them out here) members in 2011 which asked 'what do bank holidays mean to you?' discovered that:
• 44.6% found them to be a mixed blessing with benefits
• 20.9% said it meant a welcome day off
• 18.1% said what's a Bank Holiday, I work
• 16.4% responded that they were unwelcome costs
Contracting or Freelancing can bring lots of benefits; you're your own boss and hopefully you'll be working on projects of your choosing at a place and time that suits you. But will that time be Monday 27th August?
At FW Accounting, we are often open on Bank Holidays, so please feel free to contact us.

Ribera del Duero Wine. Designation of Origin.
It is a crime to pass by Soria and not try some of its incomparable wines. They don't say that Soria has liquid gold for nothing.
In 1982, the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food granted Ribera del Duero wines a Designation of Origin status thanks to an initiative carried out by the vine growers themselves who were concerned with the quality of their wines and wanted to promote and commercialise them.
The Regulating Council ensures that the bottles with their authenticity stamp go through a rigorous production process and it promotes the brand both in the Spanish territory and internationally. It also funds research to investigate processes that could potentially improve its quality. The labels and back labels of Ribera del Duero wine are made in the Spanish National Mint, with invisible ink marked on the label in order to guarantee authenticity. This way, consumers can rest assured that they are acquiring one of the best Spanish wines.
The wine grape varieties that are mainly used to produce this wine are known as Tinta del País and Albillo. However, the Regulating Council also accepts a small amount of French must and Grenache grapes. These varieties give place to four very differentiated types of wine:
Young wines, that can be red or rosé, matured in a barrel less than 12 months that give them their fresh and light texture and their characteristic fruity flavour with a hint of acidity.
Crianza wines, with an intense fruity aroma that must undergo a maturation process of one year minimum in an oak barrel.
Reserve wine can only be sold after at least 36 months of ageing in a barrel and then in the bottle.
Grand Reserve wines mature a total of 60 months, 24 in the barrel and 36 in the bottle. Weather conditions play a big part in how the vine grows as well as how the grape matures. Moderate rainfalls, dry summers and long cold winters that are characteristic of Soria favourably impact the quality of the grape harvest as well as the quality of its wines.
Due to this incomparable quality, the region's wines are used to elaborate certain delicacies such as obispos (bishops), which are similar to Spanish torrijas, tinada which is a sort of sweet broth, or zurracapote, Soria's most characteristic local beverage.

Mobile Check Cashing: How It Works and the Best Free Apps
Even in this age of digital finance, many of us still need to cash a check from time to time. Fortunately, checking technology is catching up quickly and making it possible to cash a check from anywhere, without stopping at the bank. Mobile checking apps on your phone or other devices allow you to cash a check remotely, using only a camera and your internet connection. Mobile check cashing is a great way to cash or deposit checks online, whenever and wherever it's convenient for you.
Table of Contents
- 1 How Mobile Check Cashing Works
- 2 Can You Cash a Check After a Mobile Deposit?
- 3 Mobile Check Cashing Apps
- 4 Check Deposit Apps for Prepaid Cards
How Mobile Check Cashing Works
In order to start cashing your checks using a mobile device, you'll need a few things:
- A check made out to you. Mobile check cashing is very convenient, but this convenience means that some less common forms of checking won't be available to you. For example, you may not be able to cash a third party check using a mobile app. There may also be limits on the maximum or minimum value that you can deposit at a given time.
- A mobile phone or other device that uses apps and has a camera. Today's mobile checking apps are designed to work on phones that take apps, such as iPhones, phones that run on Android, or Windows phones. Check cashing apps should work with most modern phones.
- A mobile check cashing app. There are a variety of check cashing apps available and we'll cover some of the big ones below. Some banks have check cashing apps of their own, but you can also use an independent app if you like.
Once you have all these things ready, you'll need to sign the back of your check, endorsing it, and take a picture of both sides of the check with your phone. Using your mobile checking app, send the photos to the bank or other financial institution that will cash your check. You may also be asked to type in the information that appears on the check, such as the amount, payee, and check number.
Once you have submitted the relevant information and the two important pictures of the check, a computer will read the check and initiate the depositing process. However, if your photos are unfocused or in poor lighting, the computer may not be able to read the information and your mobile deposit will be rejected. If this happens, you can try taking better pictures and resubmit, or you can deposit your check at your bank.
Mobile Check Cashing Through Bank Apps
Some popular check cashing apps are operated by independent developers, with no connection to any given bank. However, if it makes you feel more secure, or you want access to specific features of your account, you can ask your bank if they have a mobile checking app of their own.
Using your bank's mobile checking app, you can deposit checks into your bank account after hours or from home as easily as if you were at your local branch. Exact terms will vary from bank to bank, so be sure to check your bank's website for details. However, as with most in-person deposits, funds deposited through mobile checking will typically be available the next business day, although smaller checks may become available immediately.
Mobile Check Cashing for Prepaid Card Loading
If you don't have a bank account or you'd prefer not to use yours for a particular check, mobile checking is still available to you. Some mobile checking apps will deposit the value of your check onto a prepaid card and use it like you would a credit or debit card. In this case, the check that you deposit bypasses your bank account completely and goes straight onto your prepaid card.
Can You Cash a Check After a Mobile Deposit?
Once you cash a check and you have verified that the funds are in your account, that check is null and void. You can keep the check for your own records if you like, or you can dispose of it in a secure manner — either by shredding it or manually rendering it unrecognizable — to protect yourself from identity theft. If you do hold on to the check, be sure to write "deposited" or "cashed" across the front in large letters.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to deposit a check in-person at local bank branch or check cashing store if you have already cashed that check using a mobile checking app. This is checking fraud, and the bank will find out that you're attempting to defraud them. Each check has a unique identifying number, so duplicate checks are easy to identify.
Mobile Check Cashing Apps
There are many mobile check cashing apps available. Here are some of the most well-known apps out there:
Your Bank's Mobile Checking App
Many major U.S. banks, such as Bank of America, Chase, or Wells Fargo have their very own mobile checking apps. The advantage of using your own bank's mobile checking app is that it connects you directly to your checking account provider, cutting out any middlemen in the process. Bank-specific apps may also be loaded with other features related to your account. However, bank-specific apps are exactly that: tied to a particular bank. So if your bank has an app that doesn't run well or that you don't like, you're stuck with it unless you want to switch banks or use an independent app.
Lodefast Check Cashing App
Lodefast is an independent financial group with its own check cashing app. Unlike many other independent apps, Lodefast allows you to deposit your checks directly into your bank account, rather than using a prepaid card. Lodefast is more flexible than apps that are tied to a specific bank, but you can expect to be charged a 3 to 5 percent processing fee for each check that you cash using the app.
Ingo Money
Ingo money is a popular checking app with options for consumers as well as small businesses. The app is incredibly versatile, with options to deposit money onto a prepaid card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express or to deposit your checks into a PayPal or Amazon account. Unlike many independent checking apps, Ingo Money does allow you to deposit checks into your bank account. The app guarantees your funds within 10 days with no fee, although there is a fee option if you'd like speedier processing.
Check Deposit Apps for Prepaid Cards
Many independent check cashing apps will allow you to deposit your checks onto a prepaid card, rather than sending them to your bank account. This allows them to work freely with a wide variety of users without going through the hassle of working with each individual bank. Here are some popular apps to consider:
Boost Mobile Wallet
Boost Mobile Wallet uses a prepaid Mastercard to deposit checking funds onto. This app is exceptionally speedy and most users will have access to their funds just minutes after submitting check photos. The app is subscription-based, so it can be ideal if you find yourself depositing a lot of checks each month. For example, if you work as a freelancer with a wide range of clients. Fees for Boost Mobile Wallet start at $1.95 per month, with additional fees for certain types of deposits (including mobile check cashing) and special services like card replacement.
Waleteros is a mobile checking app developed specifically for use by Latino migrants. Users are able to deposit checks over the app into a prepaid card and the app also contains unique options for sending funds abroad to countries in Latin America. The app has no monthly fee and direct deposits are free. Checks that cashed within 10 days have no fee, but faster options and government check deposits will be charged a fee. International payments come at no cost.
The Check Cashing Store
This popular chain is exactly what the name suggests: a store where you can go to cash checks. In addition to many brick and mortar locations, the store also offers mobile checking through its app. Unlike many other apps, which exist solely in cyberspace, The Check Cashing Store has many physical locations that you can go to if you're having trouble with the app. However, The Checking Cashing Store provides no fee schedule for the app on their website, so if you decide to use it, be sure to track your fees carefully and compare them to the fees offered by other apps.

Christmas is on its Way!
Ella is so excited about her 1st Christmas!
The holiday season is officially upon us! Last week Ella made her first trip to the outlets-something myself and Mom do every year around this time. This is when I normally start my Christmas shopping and this year was no different. She was SO good and just loved looking at everything and being adorable. She also enjoyed listening to the next table's conversation during lunch.
Ella will celebrate her first Thanksgiving next week and she is even more excited about her first Christmas. She officially has two teeth now and we are thinking that another one is trying to make its way through but we aren't positive yet because we can't see or feel anything. She is sitting up for a couple minutes and she can go longer if she is trying to get something or if she is playing. She has also been practicing her "swimming" and I don't think it will be too long before she is crawling all over the place chasing Meryl all over the house.
She had her first official photo shoot in her dad's office and she is very excited about her first xmas cards! Meryl didn't quite cooperate-maybe next year. This week will be busy as always and Pete will be spending the end of the week in Mexico.
