Given the time and effort it takes to compile a grant application, it remains extraordinary the sheer number of applications which are actually ineligible for the funding they apply for.
A notable UK study in 2009 found almost 35% of funding applications made to UK charitable trusts were ineligible. Yes, more than a third of every application made during 2009 fell at the first hurdle by failing the fundersĺ stated criteria.
This of course represents a massive waste of resources - not only for those groups chasing funding, but those providing it.
Every ineligible grant application is not only a waste of time, effort and money for the grantseeker, but for the grantmaker as well.
Fewer ineligible applications could mean quicker responses to the eligible ones, better feedback or engagement with applicants ľ a common request among grant applicants ľ or more resources to allocate as grants.
So it is in everyoneĺs interest for grantseekers to submit eligible grant applications.
1 - Have a plan
It can be tempting to apply for every grant in sight, sending out many applications hither and yon, on the logic that eventually one of them will hit the mark and result in success.
Resist that temptation.
Recklessly sending out applications for every grant that you might be eligible for guarantees plenty of rejections and is more than likely going to raise the ire of grantmakers stuck reading ľ and most likely discarding ľ your applications.
Before you send out grant applications (and in fact, before you start fundraising in any way), develop a fundraising plan. And the Funding Centre is of course a great place to start.
Having plans will help you decide exactly what you need to apply for grants towards, and will clarify in your own minds the types of grants ľ covering grants providers, geographical area, grant amount limits and funding categories ľ your projects best fit into before you even look at the range of grants available.
2 - Read the grant guidelines
Once you start searching for specific grants to apply for, your priority should be to carefully read the programĺs eligibility guidelines
Good grantmakers will ensure these guidelines are clear, easy to find and easy to read.
By taking five minutes to carefully read and understand the guidelines ľ including the eligibility critieria ľ you should quickly discern if your group is not eligible on obvious grounds like geographical area, funding category, grant size and/or other pre-requisites.
If you do believe your group is eligible for the grant, your next step is to ...
3 - Contact the grantmaker directly
The majority of grantmakers and grants programs include contact details for inquiries ľ be they a phone number, email address or otherwise.
If you are unsure about your eligibility for a grant, your priority must be to get in touch with the grantmaker and ask them directly.
Sensible grantmakers have a vested interest in ensuring applicants are eligible. It lightens their workload by reducing the number of ineligible applications they have to look through. It also makes it easier for them to give away the money they have.
Find the right person at the grantmaking organistation ľ for example, the grants or program co-ordinator ľ and discuss with them the specific funding program you are interested in, and the project, program or group you are chasing funding for.
Ask them also if there are any key things you should look to include in your application. This information can guide you further down the right track towards a relevant, eligible application.
4 - Look at past grant rounds
While you are on the phone to the grantmaker, you could ask for information on previous receipients of the grant you wish to apply for.
Another alternative is to scan the grantmakerĺs website or other publicly available information to find out who has received funding in the past.
Sometimes chatting with previous funding recipients can help you ensure your application is eligible, and can also shed light on what you could do to have your application best address any stated criteria.
5 - Present the argument yourself
Where appropriate, your application should emphasise how you meet stated eligibility critieria.
You might need to (or want to) frame some sections of your application directly around certain key eligibility criteria, responding to them and directly relating your groupĺs aims back to the grantĺs criteria.

Oh, heh, that reminds me, I should probably clarify: Nomad Air uses actual airliners, they don't ferry giant groups of paying customers around alfresco on sky bison (although that is probably a popular tourism service, like those helicopter and/or blimp flights that you can get in some cities). Early in the history of Dìqiú aviation (shortly after the canon), a subculture of Air Commonwealth citizens with an interest in muggle flight technology developed, and they and various foreign friends and suppliers (not least the great Asami Sato, who is almost always referred to by all four words in the 3rd century :) didn't take long to determine that Air Nomads' instincts for three-dimensional movement and aerodynamics made them well-suited to operate conventional aircraft as well as those powered by airbending. The airline was formally established in 202 ASC, in part by a few prominent veterans of the Project Phoenix Flight support organization.
Little history lesson for the day.
--G.Speaking of Phoenix Flight, I know you guys haven't heard much about CTCS lately, but don't fret - the text is largely in place, now we're working on the "making the whole package awesome" part, in amongst all the other stuff we're cooking up at the same time.

Description of Problem:
I installed samba-common and samba-client RPM packages for Winbind
authentication only. After configuring the system-auth file appropriately, I
still could not log on until I created /var/log/samba and /var/run/samba
directories. I assume that these are only created in the samba-server RPM and
should probably be moved to the samba-common RPM.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How Reproducible:
Without directories, log and pid files won't create and therefore not start the
winbind service.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Modify nsswitch.conf, system-auth and smb.conf to use Winbind.
2. /etc/init.d/winbind start - will not start until directories are created.
3. wbinfo -u - should list domain users
Actual Results:
/var/log/messages shows 'Couldn not open logfile: /var/log/samba/log.winbindd'
wbinfo gives 'Error looking up domain users'
Expected Results:

The last 16 finalists of the 2nd edition of Total Petroleum's 'Startupper of the Year' challenge have presented their projects to a jury ahead of announcing a winner on March 1.
The projects of the finalists spanned health, sanitation, deforestation, food and nutrition, software, education, and agribusiness among others.
The Startupper of the Year challenge is an initiative of the Total Petroleum Group to support business creation and development in African countries and rest of the world.
Ten judges drawn from academia, entrepreneurship, the first edition winner, and Mr. Eric Fanchini-Managing Director of Total Petroleum Ghana Limited, questioned finalists after they each made a 10-minute presentation on their products.
Bright Dokosi, Human Resource Manager of Total Petroleum Ghana and Project Coordinator for the initiative, said a total of 1,197 applications were received over a period of five weeks, from which 481 were selected and 100 shortlisted – with the 16 finalists emerging from them.
He explained that even though there were supposed to 15 finalists, the jury decided on 16 as there was a tie among some applicants.
Commenting on the pitching session, a member of the jury – Adomako Bonsu – said the jury was impressed by the quality of projects the finalists presented.
He stated that the initiative by Total Petroleum buttresses the point that entrepreneurship must be made an integral part of the Ghanaian education system, so that graduates do not get fixated about always getting into white-collar jobs.
Project Coordinator Mr. Dokosi said GH¢1.3million was budgeted for this year's edition, and judging by the success enjoyed so far, that amount will have to be increased.
Winner announcement
The jury will announce the names of three winners who will receive financial support of up to GH¢90,000 for the overall winner; GH¢54,000 for second-placed and GH¢36,000 for the second runner-up.
There will also be personalised support and coaching from Total Petroleum Ghana Limited, and a communications campaign to publicise the winning projects. There will also be a Top Female Entrepreneur award for one of the finalists to support her project.

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2005--Schnitzer Steel
Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCHN) today reported net income of $42.9
million or $1.38 per diluted share on revenues of $199.0 million for
its fiscal 2005 first quarter that ended November 30, 2004. In
comparison, the Company reported net income of $12.2 million or $0.39
per diluted share on revenues of $128.4 million for the fiscal 2004
first quarter that ended November 30, 2003.
"I am very pleased with Schnitzer Steel's excellent first quarter
financial performance," said Robert W. Philip, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. "Our net income exceeded our previous record high
that was reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and our
operating income finished near the high end of our guidance given in
our previous earnings release. The strong financial performance was
again the result of good market conditions for all of our business
segments; in particular we continued to experience excellent pricing
for our products, which is directly a result of strong worldwide
consumption of both recycled metal and finished steel products. What
is especially pleasing is that the market fundamentals remain healthy,
which should bode well for our businesses in the quarters to come."
Metals Recycling Business
The Metals Recycling Business' operating income amounted to $33.8
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $9.9 million
earned in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The improved operating
margin was caused by strong worldwide demand for finished steel which
resulted in growing consumption of recycled ferrous metal and higher
selling prices. Selling prices for ferrous recycled metal averaged
$236 per ton during the first quarter of fiscal 2005, which compares
to $140 per ton reported in last year's first quarter and $199 per ton
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Also, first quarter 2005 sales
volume amounted to 471,000 tons, which was 15% above the first quarter
of fiscal 2004 due to the timing of when export orders are received
and ultimately shipped. Partially offsetting the higher average
selling prices and increased sales volumes were increases in our cost
of sales. During the quarter we saw the cost of unprocessed metal rise
sharply over the amount paid in the 2004 first fiscal quarter. Also,
first quarter 2005 ocean freight rates increased by 47% over the first
quarter of fiscal 2004, which was due to the combination of strong
Asian demand for dry bulk carriers and higher fuel costs.
Joint Venture Businesses
First quarter 2005 operating income from joint ventures amounted
to $20.5 million, which compares to $5.9 million reported for last
year's first quarter. The profit improvement was principally caused by
higher average selling prices resulting from the same factors
affecting the Company's wholly-owned Metals Recycling Business. Also
contributing to the profit improvement was a 38% increase in the
processing joint ventures' sales volumes. This volume growth was
driven by the combination of the increased raw material intake and
from the timing of when export orders are received and shipped. During
last year's first fiscal quarter, sales volume from the processing
joint ventures was adversely affected by delays in securing ocean
charters, which did not occur during the Company's most recent fiscal
quarter. The higher average selling prices and sales volumes were
offset in part by significant increases in the amounts paid to procure
unprocessed metal as well as increases in the cost of ocean charters.
Auto Parts Business
The Auto Parts Business reported operating income of $7.3 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, which represents a 25% increase
over the prior year amount. The earnings growth was partially due to
the addition of three new stores in Canada that were purchased in
March 2004 as well as from higher wholesale revenues caused by
increasing recycled metal prices. These improvements were offset in
part by higher costs to procure inventory and increases in general and
administrative expenses incurred to support the anticipated growth of
the Auto Parts Business.
On January 4, 2005, the Company announced that it signed a
definitive agreement, subject to certain closing conditions, to
acquire four stores in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri, Columbus,
Ohio, and Virginia Beach, Virginia. The transaction is expected to
close on January 10, 2005. The St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbus
stores will increase the Company's existing midwest store base. The
Virginia Beach store is expected to provide Pick-n-Pull with an
eastern presence, giving it the ability to expand along the East
Coast. The four new stores will be operated under the Pick-n-Pull name
and will bring the total number of Pick-n-Pull stores to 30. The
Company believes this acquisition will be accretive to earnings in
fiscal 2005 and produce returns that exceed its cost of capital under
the Economic Value Added (EVA(R)) model used by the Company.
Steel Manufacturing Business
The Steel Manufacturing Business reported an operating profit of
$12.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, which compares to
an operating loss of $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
The improved profitability was primarily caused by significant
increases in steel consumption resulting in higher average selling
prices. Selling prices averaged a record $534 per ton in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005, representing a 72% and 5% increase over the
first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2004, respectively. The higher
selling prices were offset in part by lower sales volumes and higher
raw material costs, including the cost of alloys and scrap metal.
The consumption of finished steel was strong during the first
quarter of fiscal 2005. However, the Steel Manufacturing Business'
sales volumes were unusually low during the same period due to
abnormally high inventory levels held by its customers who fabricate
and distribute steel. Throughout fiscal 2004, demand and selling
prices for finished steel grew rapidly. The rise in selling prices
caused many fabricators and distributors to buy ahead of end user
demand in anticipation of even higher prices. This buying pattern
resulted in unusually high market inventory levels of finished steel.
In anticipation of seasonal declines in consumption that occur in the
late fall and winter months, many distributors and fabricators reduced
their steel purchases to balance their inventories. Sales volumes of
certain products were also adversely affected by rising levels of
Japanese steel imports. As a result, first quarter fiscal 2005 sales
volumes amounted to 126,000 tons, which compares to 163,000 tons
shipped during the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
Second Quarter 2005 Outlook
Over the last three quarters, the Company saw recycled metal
markets experience unusual levels of price volatility. However,
consumption of recycled metal continued to remain strong. Based upon
the Company's wholly-owned Metals Recycling Businesses' current order
backlog, contracted average selling prices that are expected to be
shipped in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 approximate price levels
reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and remain well ahead of
the averages realized during the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The
Metals Recycling Business' second quarter 2005 ferrous sales volume is
anticipated to be in the 430,000 to 475,000 ton range. Ocean freight
rates remain high from an historical context and are expected to
approximate first quarter 2005 levels. The cost of unprocessed ferrous
metal remains very competitive and is anticipated to generally follow
the trend of selling prices.
The joint venture processors in the metals recycling business are
expected to experience similar market trends as the Company's wholly
owned Metals Recycling Business; however, their financial results may
vary depending on geographical locations, competition and other
The Auto Parts Business generally experiences its weakest period
for retail sales in the second quarter of the fiscal year due to cold
and wet weather conditions slowing demand. The Auto Parts Business has
experienced increasing costs to procure inventory due to rising
ferrous metal prices. This trend is expected to continue into the
second quarter of fiscal 2005 and may impact margins.
During the second fiscal quarter of each year, demand for finished
steel declines due to the seasonal nature of the construction
industry. It is also expected that fabricators and distributors will
continue to reduce inventory levels and purchases of finished steel.
Importers of finished steel are anticipated to continue to
aggressively compete for certain product categories. Also, as planned,
in December 2004 the Company's steel mill temporarily shut down its
melt shop to replace its electric arc furnace. The furnace
replacement, completed in late December, reduced the production of
billets and caused production costs to rise. Raw material costs,
including the costs of alloys, are expected to increase modestly
relative to the first quarter of 2005.
The Company's effective second quarter tax rate is expected to
approximate 35%.
The Company estimates its second quarter 2005 operating income to
be in the $50 million to $56 million range. This amount compares to
operating income of $24.2 million reported for the second quarter of
fiscal 2004.

Men, Women alike, children & senior citizens alike, youth and others alike. Everyone has the same issue. Power corrupts and the justice lies with the rich and mighty.
6. Providing free of cost and fair justice is the state subject. Support those state govrnments who are atleast trying to provide for it.... Please don;t politicise safety. It is immaterial if it is AAP or BJP or Congress or any other party....
7. The educated middle class who are part of this forum, constitute only 20-25% of the votes. Majority of the votes are provided by the illiterate and poor.... Hence we need to have free and fair education for all..

Welcome to a very special addition of Flourishes Friday! Today the Flourishes design team and friends are honoring the owner of Flourishes stamps, Jan Marie, with a surprise birthday celebration! Jan Marie is one of the sweetest, kindest people you will ever meet. I hope you will stop by her blog and leave her some love. Happy, happy birthday, sweet lady! :)
For my card, I chose to use the gorgeous Butterflies and Blossoms stamp set, and paired it up with some soft and pretty Annalee patterned paper. I colored the image with Copic markers and cut out extra blossoms and a butterfly and popped them up on Dimensionals. I then added some Lemon Yellow Flower Soft to the flower centers and Clear Stardust Glitter Glaze to the flower petals.
Pretty velvet ribbon and braided trim give it that extra special feel; but the real grand-finale are the swirls of pretty pink rhinestones from Zva...love those babies!
The sketch is this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch. My card also fits with this week's Timeless Tuesday Challenge, which is to create a birthday card.

Lucy is one of the most relaxed little newborns I have ever photographed. Don't get me wrong I'm fine to wait through tears, feedings and changings (these things go hand in hand with newborn babes) but once in a while there comes along a little babe such as Lucy who just smiles and chills throughout the whole session.
Here are some of my favourites:

Mall expands -- parking doesn't / Shoppers are urged to take public transit to Bloomingdale's
A new mall and Bloomingdale's store, opening today in downtown San Francisco, will lure big crowds to the shops, restaurants and movie theaters. But visitors also could encounter traffic jams and parking shortages -- at least during the holidays and big events at Moscone Center.
On Wednesday, shoppers attending a special preview of the new Westfield San Francisco Centre found that the Fifth and Mission parking garage was full at midday. Traffic backed up outside the mall because of lines of contractors' trucks and big rigs carrying last-minute merchandise deliveries.
No new parking was built to accommodate the 25 million people a year expected to visit the mall, which has tripled in size. The decision not to add parking is in keeping with the city's "transit first" policy, which encourages the use of public transportation.
City officials say that policy has worked elsewhere, namely at the Giants' AT&T Park, which opened in 2000 with little new parking. Thirty-two transit lines -- including BART and Muni -- serve the new Westfield San Francisco Centre, billed as the largest urban shopping center west of the Mississippi.
Jim Chappell, president of the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association, or SPUR, said parking is likely to be limited a few times each year. But that isn't reason enough to build more garages, he said.
"No shopping center in the world, I don't care if you're in the middle of Kansas, can provide the parking you need between Thanksgiving and Christmas," he said. "You have to plan for what a normal day is."
And on a normal day, he said, plenty of parking is available in city garages and smaller private lots. Across the street, the city's largest garage -- the 2,585-space Fifth and Mission Garage -- is only 60 percent full on average at the busiest time of day.
"At this point, it appears there is ample parking," said Maggie Lynch, spokeswoman for the Department of Parking and Traffic. "But I'm certainly not a psychic. We feel our parking and traffic people have prepared, but we're going to monitor the situation."
In addition to the nearby cable car lines, historic streetcars and bus routes, visitors can take the new direct entrance from the mall's concourse level to the Powell Station, which serves BART and Muni Metro. New BART entry gates were installed near the shopping center's entrance.
"The use of mass transit is the most convenient way to go to the center," said Steve Eimer, vice president of development for Westfield Group, the mall's owner.
Westfield officials won't say whether more parking is needed, but Eimer said it should be considered given South of Market development.
"Transportation in the mid-Market and South of Market areas is a city infrastructure issue that needs sound planning, long-term thinking and creative solutions," Eimer said.
BART spokesman Linton Johnson said his agency hopes the mall will increase ridership, although Tom Radulovich, a BART director and SoMa resident, said he was disappointed that Westfield didn't provide more bicycle parking. The company also should have done more to promote transit, he said.
"They need to be doing what the ballpark did," he said. "Being very, very proactive, saying 'Don't drive. Walk, bike, take transit.' "
Marian Lebrun, 55, of Novato and Maxine Parrick, 59, of San Francisco waited in lines with thousands of other shoppers Wednesday for a special sneak peek inside. They parked across the street at the Fifth and Mission Garage.
"It wasn't a problem at all," Lebrun said. "The lines were a little insane, though," especially in the morning, when they went around the block.
But Parrick expects problems as more high-end merchants move into a neighborhood that was once largely ignored.
"If they're going to keep adding stores, they're going to have to add some parking or some direct transit," she said.
Developers Westfield Group and Forest City paid the city $1.5 million for future parking projects as part of the development deal. They also restriped Mission Street to create a valet parking zone in front of the main Bloomingdale's entrance and will help pay for traffic control officers when needed, including at today's grand opening.
Mall deliveries are to be made outside of commute hours at an enclosed loading dock on Jessie Street West. Westfield officials say the truck traffic should ease considerably once construction crews disappear and stores are stocked.
Aside from the grand opening, the area surrounding the center is likely to get its first big congestion test Oct. 22-26 during Oracle Open World 2006. The convention is expected to draw 41,000 people, including many Northern Californians who will drive to the event. A block of Howard Street between Third and Fourth streets will be closed and filled with tents.
"There are shows that trigger more local attendance," said Lysa Lewin, director of sales for the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau. "We try to connect them with BART or Muni so they can buy passes to get their (attendees) up here."
But even big conventions aren't likely to create a persistent problem, said Chappell, SPUR's chief.
"Most of what happens at Moscone is not bringing in people with cars," he said. "They're staying at hotels and taking cabs or buses or walking."
Potential parking problems
Parking around the new Westfield mall could be a problem during the holidays and large conventions that draw locals as well as out-of-town visitors:
Today-Saturday: American Society for Microbiology convention is expected to draw 16,000 people.
Oct. 22-26: Oracle Open World 2006 is expected to draw 41,000 people, including Northern California residents, to all three Moscone Center venues. Howard Street will be closed and lined with tents between Third and Fourth streets.
Nov. 18-26: San Francisco International Auto Show usually draws about 400,000 visitors over nine days.
Dec. 11-15: American Geophysical Union could draw up to 12,000 people.

Here's a review we received from Karen S. in NW Portland:
Our roof needed maintenace prior to painting the house. Bid was good, they didn't forget about us throughout the rainy spring, and they completed the job. Service rep Todd was very helpful; even fixed some minor problems for free prior to our accepting their bid. We received follow up calls after each step to make sure we were happy. They appreciated our business, which is very nice these days.

Crace, John. "Is Criticism Dying, or is That Just Your View?" GUARDIAN December 18, 2007.
It's tough being a serious critic in these relativist times and many thought John Carey, emeritus Merton professor of English literature at Oxford University and distinguished literary critic, who has twice chaired the Booker prize judging committee, had done for the profession completely with his 2005 book, What Good Are the Arts?, in which he argued that there are no objective aesthetic standards. Two years on, Carey stands by what he wrote. "There are only opinions," he says, "albeit some more informed than others. The idea of evaulation - what I like is better than what you like and my feelings are more important than yours - is just illogical. You cannot know the state of another person's consciousness, so you can't make those judgments. I also got taken to task for apparently suggesting that literature was different - that it responded to the rationality of criticism in a way that no other art form did. But I never said any such thing. I made it clear that my ideas on literature were mine alone, and that I was writing from a personal perspective." None of this went uncontested by other academics and one of the first out of the blocks was Justin O'Connor, chair of cultural industries at Leeds University, with a lengthy critique in the journal Critical Quarterly. "There is clearly a hierarchy of the good and not so good in the arts," he insists, "and it's established by the critics. People's everyday experience leads them to make judgments, and together we make collective judgments. Pure relativism is absurd; regardless of whether you like Ian McEwan's novels, you have to accept that his judgments on literature carry more weight, simply because he is a practitioner, engaging with writing every day. . . .

Story highlights
- Virginia, Justice Department reach settlement
- It covers services for those with developmental disabilities
In a closely watched case with implications for other states, Virginia reached a broad settlement with the Justice Department Thursday on protecting the legal rights of people with developmental disabilities, both physical and intellectual. The agreement also will resolve violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Virginia agreed to provide an estimated 5,000 citizens with community services that will allow them to live in community-based settings, including family homes, rather than being institutionalized.
The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is pressing states to comply with a Supreme Court ruling that says the developmentally disabled have a right to receive services in the most integrated settings appropriate to their needs.
Justice officials say the case is particularly relevant to ongoing investigations in Oregon, Florida and Utah. In addition, the Justice Department has issued its findings but not yet reached agreement with officials in New Hampshire, North Carolina and Mississippi.
The Justice Department has reached agreements previously with Georgia and Delaware.
Virginia has allocated $60 million to help integrate the individuals covered, and the federal government will match that with Medicaid waivers, according to Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, who announced the settlement.
Perez, an Obama administration appointee, praised Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell and other GOP leaders in Virginia for their cooperation in reaching the agreement. Perez says he is confident the agreement to minimize the institutionalization of individuals will save Virginia money in the long run.
The settlement follows a federal investigation of Virginia's system that found the commonwealth had ADA violations.

I've embedded a short video in this post covering the two roundabouts that feature in the route to Breaston from Long Eaton (following signs to Castle Donington). There is no audio on this video so, using the time sequence noted at the bottom of the video,:-
First Roundabout:-
09:46:01 – The road sign shows that Castle Donington is the second exit (there is a small notch to show a minor road as the first exit), but note that the direction of the second exit is slightly to the right of being exactly straight.
09:46:06 – Lanes become visible. Left lane for second exit but noting that two lanes go into the roundabout so you need to keep on the left hand side of the roundabout all the way to the second exit. This is similar to other roundabouts where there are no markings in the roundabout (e.g. university, west entrance)
09:47:27 – Note the speed limit increases from 30mph to 40mph. Many people miss this and continue as if is is still 30mph.
09:48:45 – The sign for the next roundabout again shows Castle Donington as the second exit (there is a small notch to show a minor road as the first exit) but note this time that Castle Donington is quite a lot "to the left" of being straight.
09:48:59 – The lane markings become visible. As Castle Donington is to the left of being straight, you need to be in the left lane because the second exit is on the left. The right lane (marked straight on and right) goes to the 3rd and 4th exits.
09:49:04 – You can see both the 1st and 2nd exits (very close to each other). Both exits go under the arches of a railway bridge.
09:50:22 – On this route, you will probably then be following signs for Breaston. The sign is visible here (and you need to signal almost immediately as you need to move into the right lane at 09:50:28).

I've made it a tradition to travel for my birthday, either trips to beautiful locales I have not had the good fortune to visit yet, or to go find snow, my favorite thing in the world. My mother always made a point of celebrating our birthdays, and I learned to carry on that tradition. So many people dread the thought of getting another year older, but I relish the thought of celebrating life… my life…another trip around the sun, and God willing, many more to come.
About six years ago, I stayed home for my birthday, which does not happen too often. I had turned 40 the year before and took a big trip south of the border and learned to surf for that celebration. But at 41, I stayed home. I ventured out on my bike on the morning of my birthday, and while biking I did a little exploring and poking around the seminary and convent near my home. While walking through a beautiful arbor I discovered (that also happens to be the main photo of my blog), I stumbled upon a little cabin. There was a sign out front, and I immediately became intrigued with whatever a "hermitage" was.
So of course I went home and immediately looked it up. Continue reading

Eungai RFS visit by Minister for Emergency Services, David Elliott
It's been about 20 years since the RFS brigade at Eungai had a new tanker but what they have now was certainly worth the wait.
The brand new Category 1 Bush Fire Tanker, complete with drop down window shields, tyre sprinklers and halo system to protect the crews in case of a fire storm was welcomed by volunteers at a reception today.
While it's automatic transmission remains less popular, no one was complaining when the Minister for Emergency Services, David Elliott, the Member for Oxley, Melinda Pavey, and NSW Rural Fire Service Chief Superintendent,Tim Butcher, turned up for the official launch.
Lower North Coast Zone manager Lachlann Ison said the event was an opportunity to open the doors officially on the latest station extensions, which include an additional vehicle bay, training room with kitchen and amenities plus additional storage capacity. And the cream was a new tanker, plus a chance to acknowledge the work of the volunteers.
"This brigade is central to the zone - it services two towns, all the surrounding bushland and also the Pacific Highway," Lachlann said.
The entire investment of the gear and upgrade was $536,000, an amount the Minister said was more than deserved.
"The best part of this job is coming to dedicate facilities to our emergency service workers," Minister Elliott said.
"Back when I was a kid, we put fires out with a hessian sack and a stick ... now this Department has an air wing, an investigations unit, 80,000 officers and a media unit.
"But it is the brigades themselves that are the backbone of so many communities ... what we have here today is still only a small token of what you deserve."
The brigade's president, 76-year-old Bob Moore, assisted the Minister with the unveiling of the plaque.
"This truck and the upgrade have been coming and coming for a long time - it's good they have finally arrived."
The day was tinged with reflection, as it was previous brigade captain, the late Steve Flockton, who really got the process of renewal underway - his wife Peggy and daughter Sandy were there as special guests.

By now, you've probably seen a clip or two starring Forky from Toy Story 4. The loveable spork-toy has shown up in plenty of merchandise, and will also be making his inflated debut during H2O Glow Nights at Typhoon Lagoon this summer. But now, you can enjoy Forky with a fork. That's right! The Forky Cupcake has premiered at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort and we're in love.
We appreciate the that this cupcake has a lot of detail worked into it. Besides the large white chocolate image of Forky, there's also a white chocolate Pixar Luxo Ball sticking out of the side and several swirls of different-colored buttercream. The vanilla frosting is inspired by the colors of Forky––white, yellow, red, and teal.
When you remove the cupcake from the wrapper, your anxiety might reach Forky-esque levels once the tiny sprinkles spill everywhere.
Everywhere. Sprinkles were on the plate, the wrapper, the table, a small child next to me… they were everywhere. (Don't worry, I always make sure I clean up after myself. I know how hard Cast Members work!)
Finally, I grabbed a fork and went for it. The cake was fresh and cool from the case. It cut easily, even though it's kind of become an Inside Out cupcake now. Wrong movie. Shockingly, there were even more sprinkles inside.
The buttercream has a nice consistency. It's cool, but not frozen, and easy to disperse over the cake. Despite the fact that there were sprinkles everywhere, I have no complaints. They actually enhance the taste rather than overpower the cupcake.
The simple combination of chocolate cupcake, vanilla buttercream, and Toy Story 4 decorations is definitely a win. It's sure to be a popular treat as we get closer to the release of the film. The cupcake is $5.99 and available at World Premiere Food Court. Are you excited to see Forky in Toy Story 4 this summer?

RxNorm provides normalized names for clinical drugs and links its names to many of the drug vocabularies commonly used in pharmacy management and drug interaction software, including those of First Databank, Micromedex, MediSpan, Gold Standard Drug Database, and Multum. By providing links between these vocabularies, RxNorm can mediate messages between systems not using the same software and vocabulary.
This dataset is a subset of currently prescribable drugs found in RxNorm. NLM intends it to be an approximation of the prescription drugs currently marketed in the US. The subset also includes some frequently-prescribed over-the-counter drugs.
The subset includes only the active RxNorm normalized names, codes (RxCUIs), attributes, and relationships, as well as the FDA structured product label drugs and ingredients and the small set of CMS data. It does not include data from any of the other 14 RxNorm data providers, such as First DataBank, Micromedex, or the Veterans Administration. We also removed suppressed and obsolete data SAB=RXNORM.
This dataset associates attributes data with RXAtom_AUI_IDs and RXConcept_CUI_IDs. The corresponding drug names for these RXAtom_AUI_IDs and RXConcept_CUI_IDs are found in "RxNorm Drugs Names and Identifiers" dataset.
A base atom can be identified by the existence of an attribute, where the Attribute_Name_ATN='AMBIGUITY_FLAG' and the Attribute_Value_ATV='Base'. Similarly, the duplicate atoms are identified with Attribute_Name_ATN ='AMBIGUITY_FLAG' and Attribute_Value_ATV ='Duplicate'. This attribute will carry the Source_Abbreviation=RXNORM.

Jones Mansion
About 1910: Just a few blocks away were other subjects of the present study, Joseph Presley Carter at 2604 Main, the Second Presbyterian Church at 2702 Main, Fannie Wolf at 2703 Main. Lower Main Street in 1910 was about the most prestigious address in town, but by the middle of the next decade most of these families had moved to the newly developed River Oaks gated residential district.
6 June 2018: The neighborhood is now called Midtown, and the block where the house once stood was turned into Midtown Park in 2017. Behind the viewer on the east side of the block, a development company from Melbourne, Caydon Property Group, is constructing The Midtown at 2850 Fannin, a 27-story, 357-unit apartment tower, soon-to-be the first high-rise in Houston's Midtown.
This grand house at 2908 Main Street was built in 1899 by Houston architect George E. Dickey for James Ira Campbell, a Texas lumberman who had moved to Houston from Lampasas in 1895. The house occupied the entire block between Main, Travis, Anita, and Tuam, and was faced with cypress blocks cut to look like stone. The style echoed a French Chateau architectural theme with a stepped gable and flanking towers. Outbuildings on Travis consisted of stables, a greenhouse, and servants quarters for the maids, cooks, and gardener.
James I. Campbell died in 1904 and the house came into the possession of the widow of a fellow lumberman, Martin Tilford Jones. M. T. had died in 1898, and his widow Louisa Woolard Jones took up residence in the home with her children and a nephew, Jesse Holman Jones. Jesse Jones lived in the house while he settled his uncle's estate, turning the stables into a garage for one of Houston's first automobiles, a pricey Pierce Arrow. More than any other Houstonian, Jesse Jones shaped the 20th century face of Houston, and is memorialized in many Houston landmarks: Jesse H. Jones Hall, home of the Houston Symphony; Jones High School; Jesse H. Jones School of Business at TSU; Rice University's Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management and The Jesse H. Jones Student Life Center; The Jesse H. Jones Student Life Center at Downtown UH; The Jones Library at the Texas Medical Center; and Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center in Humble.
Even though it was near the southern edge of Houston (about where I-69 has covered old railroad lines), the neighborhood between McGowen and Elgin was where the most prosperous citizens of Houston lived in the early 20th century. Behind the viewer, the block facing 2908 Main there were three large houses. At 2901 was Wiley C. Munn, the general manager of Mistrot-Munn, later Munn's, one of the largest dry goods store of the time. W. C. was also the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce and president of the Houston Turning Basin Investment Company. Also at that address was Charles A. Bryan, a real estate agent working from the First National Bank Building. At 2911 was Thomas J. Freeman, the receiver and general manager of the I & G. N. R. R. Co. (International and Great Northern Rail Road Company), whose offices were in the Paul Building. Marcellus E. Foster lived at the corner of Anita and Main at 2915. Foster was the president and publisher of the Houston Chronicle, with offices in the Chronicle Building (in those days sometimes referred to as the Foster Bulding, now demolished).
After Jesse Jones settled the complicated estate, the Jones house was sold to Settegast-Kopf for a funeral home after about 1910, then to the Arabia Temple (Shriners) in 1915 for its Houston Headquarters. In the 1930's the residence was used as a boarding house until it was demolished in 1937. The neighborhood languished for many years, but as Houstonians retreated from the distant suburban commute, the area has once again become fashionable.

Our trip definitely started off on a great note. This was my first time in Portugal and it was breathtaking I met so many amazing people there, I had locals giving me tips of places to go. On this trip my friend and I decided to stay at a hostel at first I was against it as I always viewed them as dirty and was worried about my belongings being stolen but it was the best deciosn we made of course we've saved ton of money but it's great for the social aspect we met some really cool people.

Ethics and Corporate Governance
Davos 2016 - Issue Briefing: Ethics and Corporate Governance Business and government leaders worry about a multitude of issues these days. Climate change, weapons of mass destruction, water scarcity, migration, and energy are the greatest threats we face, according to the 750 experts surveyed for the World Economic Forum's Global Risk Report 2016. Learn first-hand about how corporate governance can ensure that high ethical standards are met to restore trust. «It is easy for companies to see far-off risks that they cannot control. It is a lot harder, but a lot more important, for them to acknowledge the risks stemming from how they operate. And it is harder still to persuade those business leaders who do comprehend such risks to talk about them on a public stage. World Economic Forum © 2016

In Month's Past
Part 3
September 05, 2016
As we continue our series, In Month's Past, I want to spend a few moments focusing on the importance of healing and restoration. God has designed a personalized plan for each of us. His plan is greater than anything that we might imagine; however, we can get lost in our own grief, hurt, anger, and disappointment. Until we let go and work through these issues, we will not be able to fulfill or even see God's plan.
Job 29:1-5 reads,
Job further continued his discourse, and said: "Oh, that I were as in months past, As in the days when God watched over me; When His lamp shone upon my head, And when by His light I walked through darkness; Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent; When the Almighty was yet with me, When my children were around me… (NKJV)
Four Areas of Chronic Unhealthiness
1. Trauma: divorce, abuse, abortion, failure, adultery, etc.
Are you carrying any of these burdens? Are you among the walking wounded? Face them because hurting people hurt people.
2. Blame: people who won't take responsibility for their actions.
Adam and Eve – blame others, deflect, defensive, unapproachable, hide, etc. Are you willing to accept your own responsibilities and actions? Envy, Jealousy, Anger, Bitterness, and Fear are unhealthy emotions the devil uses to do incredible damage in the body of Christ.
All of us experience negative emotions at times, but emotionally healthy people recognize them as wrong and overcome them.
3. Unhealthy relationships: allowing unhealthy people to influence us.
Sampson – Delilah had her own agenda and manipulated him to get what she wanted: his outcome was not a good one. Do your friends challenge or support your choices? Are those choices healthy ones?
4. Manipulation and Control: using every trick possible to avoid confrontation about bad behavior.
Jezebel – she works hard to make sure that no one could confront her. Do you have friends/family who will say NO to you? Do you have accountability partners?
Your first step to emotional and spiritual health may be in recognizing elements of these things in your life. If God is speaking to you, spend some time with Him in prayer and reflection. Allow Him to show you areas that need to be faced.
He loves you and wants the best for your life.
Christ-centered for Life,
Pastor Paul

Almost Two Out Of Three PIP Claims Refused Finds Report
With thanks to Benefits And Work.
Almost two out of three people who apply for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) get nothing at all unless they are terminally ill, DWP figures released today reveal. The statistics also expose the massive backlog created by the combined failures of Atos, Capita and the DWP, with fewer than one in six claims having so far been decided.
Not including claims under Special Rules (for those who are terminally ill), by the end of December 2013, the total number of new claims for PIP reached 220,300.
By the end of the same period, only 34,200 claimants had been given a decision – a mere 15.4% of the new claims made.
Of these, only 37% were awarded some rate of PIP.
To put this in perspective, this means that only 12,654 people, out of the 220,300 who have made a new claim for PIP in the 9 months since the beginning of April 2013, have been awarded PIP.
This contrasts with the report on the success of new DLA claims, which in the year ending March 2011, showed an award rate of 43%.
It would appear that the government is on track to be successful in reducing the spend on welfare benefits, by not only delaying awards and payments for many months, but also finding claimants ineligible at a higher percentage rate.
Of those claiming under Special Rules, 100% received a decision to award PIP. Notably, the number of decisions under Special Rules exceeds the number of new claims by 200; the DWP indicates that this could be due to claimants being assessed as eligible, despite not having claimed under those rules.
Read the full report from the DWP here

New guidelines proposed on use of NRIC numbers by companies
SINGAPORE: Singapore's privacy watchdog the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) has proposed changes to guidelines on how companies handle individuals' NRIC numbers, collects the physical NRIC or a copy of it.
In revising the advisory guidelines, PDPC said in a press release on Tuesday (Nov 7) it had taken into consideration current industry practices, as well as feedback from individuals on the handling of their NRIC numbers.
"The NRIC number is a unique identifier assigned by the Government to each Singapore resident that is often used as a required document or identifier for transactions with the Government, as well as certain commercial transactions," PDPC said.
"As the NRIC number is a permanent and irreplaceable identifier which can be used to unlock large amounts of information relating to the individual, the indiscriminate collection and use of individuals' NRIC numbers is of special concern as it increases the risk that the NRIC numbers may be obtained and used for illegal activities such as identity theft and fraud," it added.
The collection of an individual's physical NRIC, or a copy of it, is also of concern, PDPC said.
"The physical NRIC not only contains the individual's NRIC number, but also other personal data, such as the individual's full name, photograph, thumbprint and residential address," it added.
In general, PDPC said organisations should not collect, use or disclose an individual's NRIC number or a copy of the NRIC, except when it is required under the law or when it is necessary to verify the identity of the individual.
These situations include when seeking medical treatment at a clinic, enrolling children into childcare centres, checking into a hotel and subscribing to a mobile telephone line, or when entering into high-value contracts such as property transactions and applying for insurance.
Scenarios where the collection, use or disclosure of NRIC numbers or a copy of the NRIC is not required under any law include the redemption of free parking, online purchase of movie tickets as well as when signing up for retail memberships and lucky draws.
Organisations also should not retain an individual's physical NRIC unless required under the law, or where it is necessary to accurately establish and verify the identity of the individual.
"To be clear, even if an organisation temporarily retains an individual's physical NRIC (eg as collateral) without recording any personal data contained in the NRIC, PDPC generally considers the organisation to have collected all the personal data in the NRIC, for the duration the physical NRIC is in the possession or under the control of the organisation," PDPC said.
Hence, organisations are to comply with the obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act, such as to make reasonable security arrangements to protect the personal data from unauthorised disclosure, it added.
Instances listed by the commission where organisations should not retain an individual's NRIC include when renting a bicycle or when issuing visitor badges for buildings.
In certain circumstances, an organisation may merely have sight of an individual's physical NRIC and the information on it for verification purposes, the commission added. This includes the checking of NRICs for the sale of cigarette to verify the customer's age.
PDPC has proposed a period of up to 12 months from the issuance of the revised guidelines for organisations to adopt alternatives in place of collecting NRICs or NRIC numbers.
Organisations should consider using alternatives such as organisation or user-generated IDs or passwords, tracking numbers, QR codes, or monetary deposit, PDPC said.
A public consultation has been launched to solicit feedback on the proposed guidelines, and whether there are "additional issues or common scenarios" that the guidelines should address.
Those who wish to give feedback can do so by Dec 18 at 5pm via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Details of the consultation paper and submission procedures are available on the PDPC website.

Editor's Perspective:
What We Already Know about This Topic:
Whether crystalloid or colloids are preferable for treatment of hypovolemic shock in surgical patients remains unclear
What This Article Tells Us That Is New:
In a preplanned subgroup analysis of a previous trial, the authors compared 28-day mortality in 741 surgical patients with hypovolemic shock who were randomized to crystalloids or colloids
Mortality at 30 and 90 days was similar in the two groups, and colloid administration did not increase the need for dialysis
Colloid administration did not improve mortality but also did not cause renal injury
The multicenter randomized Colloids versus Crystalloids for the Resuscitation of the Critically Ill (CRISTAL) trial was designed to test whether colloids altered mortality compared to crystalloids in the resuscitation of intensive care unit patients with hypovolemic shock. This preplanned analysis tested the same hypothesis in the subgroup of surgical patients.
The CRISTAL trial prospectively defined patients as critically ill surgical patients whenever they underwent emergency or scheduled surgery immediately before or within 24 h of intensive care unit admission and had hypovolemic shock. The primary outcome measure was death by day 28. Secondary outcome measures included death by day 90, the need for renal replacement therapy, or the need for fresh frozen plasma transfusion.
There were 741 critically ill surgical patients, 356 and 385 in the crystalloid and colloid arm, respectively. Median (interquartile range) age was 66 (52 to 76) yr, and 484 (65.3%) patients were male. Surgery was unscheduled in 543 (73.3%) cases. Mortality by day 28 did not significantly differ for crystalloids 84 (23.6%) versus colloids 100 (26%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.61 to 1.21; P = 0.768). Death by day 90 (111 [31.2%] vs. 122 [31.7%]; adjusted odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.70 to 1.33; P = 0.919) did not significantly differ between groups. Renal replacement therapy was required for 42 (11.8%) patients in the crystalloids arm versus 49 (12.7%) in the colloids arm (P = 0.871).
The authors found no survival benefit when comparing crystalloids to colloids in critically ill surgical patients.
