The Ultimate List Of Books For Children of All Ages – Teacher Recommended Books For Children By Age
My teenage son reads every day but given the choice, he would rather read "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" over and over again. It seems as if reading is work for him so he chooses easy books to read instead. Nothing wrong with that but this article got me thinking and worrying. It highlights that teenagers are selecting "easier reads" when choosing books rather than more challenging classics. As a consequence they are seriously struggling with English.
I've noticed a lack of quality reading in my students too. Read more, read every day, read challenging books, read, read, read…This is a mantra I teach my students to help them become competent readers and writers. You can tell if a child is a keen reader from their writing. Reading helps with imagination and flare and children are more aware of literary devices. Children who don't read enough often have writing which is "wooden" and doesn't flow. There is a lack of vivid vocabulary, poor sentence structure and it fails to keep the reader interested.
So to encourage my students to read, I have introduced an extended reading programme at my centre for all pupils on our english programmes. This is a list of recommended authors and their books which are literary classics. All the authors on the list have won prizes for their books and are likely to be used by schools on their reading lists. Children aim to read at least 6 books a year and after each book they have to do an extended writing task. This could be something as simple as summarising the book or ceating an alternative book cover. The idea is that it makes the student think deeply about the book. The activities also tie in with the national curriculum and provide an oppportunity to do a longer piece of writing.
The reading lists are for year 1 to year 9 and roughly arranged according to the reading age. Just let your child choose the book they want to read.

My 4 Tips To Get The Most From The Summer Reading Challenge
The summer reading challenge is a scheme happening in libraries all over the country and is designed to encourage children to read over the long summer break. It has been proven that children actually fall back academically during the 6 week break and one of the easiest ways of keeping on top of things is to get children reading.
Children taking part in it are encouragement to complete it by getting rewards and stickers. They have to read 6 or more books to complete the challenge. Parents love the scheme as a visit to the library is a free day out and it is educational. I think that without the challenge, the libraries would be dead!
So every year on the first day of the summer holidays I take the kids to the library to take part in the summer reading challenge and I have been doing this not just with my own kids but nephews, nieces and friends' children as well. That's the joys of being a teacher; everyone wants you to take their children to the library because you should know what you are doing.
I've picked up a few good ideas along the way, and you can use all or some of these as you wish.
1. Have a List of Authors
I have a list of authors who are either recommended authors for texts used in schools or who have won prizes for their books. This ensures that your children reading quality works and not just nonsense.
2. Don't Pick The First Book You See.
Take your time at the library and pick more books than you need. Then go through each book and choose the best ones. Teach your child how to choose a good book by reading the summary on the back cover or by reading the first page. If they like the first page, they should like the rest.
3. Read The Books Your Child Reads.
This is especially effective to get reluctant readers to talk about their books and take more interest. They will begin to see that books can entertain just like movies. When I was at the library there was little girl returning her books, and the librarian asked her about every book even though she had not read them herself. When I asked the librarian why she had done that, she said that it made the children choose more books and come back and tell her all about them.
4. Write About The Books.
After reading you could get your child to write a review or simply just to score it out of 10. You can write online reviews and add it onto the book list on the summer reading challenge website too.
I will be posting some other written tasks you can do after reading a book on this blog. I will also be posting the list of authors on this blog too. So please join my mailing list if you would like to be notified.
Kip McGrath Luton Summer School 2015
For most children, summer is a time to leave classes and homework behind. While summer is a holiday from school, it does not have to be a holiday from learning. The summer holiday is great for recharging your children's batteries, because if they are not using the skills and knowledge that was learned in the classroom, they will find themselves lagging behind when school starts up again.Children can lose on average two month's worth of knowledge over the summer if their brains are not actively engaged in educational activities.
Kip McGrath Luton can offer you the perfect solution to this problem. Our summer school runs Monday to Friday throughout August. Your child can attend one or more 2 hour teaching session per week and complete a small amount of homework. After an initial assessment we can pin-point any areas of weakness that need to be targeted and put together a programme of work designed to focus on these areas and prepare them for the coming school year. This small amount of effort can make a huge difference and mean that your child is ready to learn in the new school year instead of having to spend the first month relearning skills and wasting valuable time.
Who Comes To Kip McGrath Summer School?
✓ Children sitting the 11 plus exam
✓ Children who need to catchup in Maths and English
✓ Children who have learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Autism
✓ Children who lack confidence in their abilities
✓ Children who are not working at the level they are capable of
Monday 3rd August to Friday 28th August
10.00 am to 12.00
If your wish you child to attend our summer school please feel free to call us on 01582 402225 to arrange the initial assessment and discuss in detail your child's individual needs. Or fill in this contact form and we can arrange a convenient time to call you back.
All our English courses are taught by qualified English specialist teachers and focus on 2 main areas.
Creative Writing Creative writing is something many students find challenging! This module breaks down the elements needed to become more confident in relation to creative writing. Students are encouraged to plan, think about their audience and the tone and style of their writing in order to produce a piece with quality and depth. Special attention is given to detail and description, and the student is shown how to apply their knowledge to all types of writing.
Reading and SPaG (Spelling, punctuation and Grammar) This module helps children to understand the difference between nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and the finer points of using an apostrophe and speech marks. A whole range of grammatical activities will enable your child to understand how the English language works. It will also focus on the student's understanding of a range of texts at an appropriate level, and also to extend their vocabulary. They will be shown how to find the right answers by skimming and scanning, and also how to work out an answer if it is only implied in the text.
At Kip McGrath our aim is to put the fun back in the subject and build confidence in both mental maths and problem solving through clear and simple explanations. The student drives the pace of the lesson so if more revision time is needed there is no pressure to 'move on' to the next topic. Maths skills are consolidated by applying knowledge to problem solving questions. We help develop these skills by teaching the student to read the question and extract the maths needed to answer the question effectively.
11 Plus
One of the changes in the 11+ is the timing of exams. These now take place in September rather than October as in the past. To help with maintaining learning and keep brain cells "fresh" during the summer holidays, we will be holding 11+ Intensive Courses. We recommend that your child attends at least 3 days a week during the summer school.
The course will widen the knowledge base of students so that they are equipped to answer the broad and challenging English, Maths and non-verbal questions. They will be taught examination strategies and how to think positively when faced with a question they find daunting. Students will write a mock exam extracted from the new specification.

Brain Active Summer School – Kip McGrath Luton Summer School 2014
Are you looking for ideas for the summer holiday?
Are you worried about your child sitting the 11+ exam in September?
Does your child lack confidence/ need to catch up/ forget what they have learnt too easily?
The Kip McGrath Luton South summer school has successfully helped students aged 4 – 16 to:
Bridge the gap when going into a new school year, moving from primary to secondary or nursery to reception
Help children catch up if they have fallen behind at school
Learn how to revise, study and prepare for GCSE exams effectively
Prepare for the Buckinghamshire (and other counties) 11+ exams in September
Build confidence and enjoy learning
Be one step ahead when they start the new school year
When a child starts school in September after a 6 week summer break, teachers have to help them catch up on all the work they have forgotten. Most teachers will tell you that this is called "THE SUMMER BRAIN DRAIN". But this can be avoided by enrolling your child on our summer school.
The sessions are in the mornings from 10.00 am, so it still leaves the rest of the day to enjoy the summer. There are only 20 places available, so book now.

Mother's Day Poetry Competition Winner
Our poetry competition was a great success. We had over 40 entries out of which we had to pick one. It was not an easy decision to make. Here is the winning poem as promised. It was written by Kyle age 15.
You're always there when I need you,
Almost as much as a foot needs a shoe,
Let's be honest, you will always be my best friend,
I will always love you to the end,
We love to fight, then it turns into a scrap,
We both know I must learn when to shut my trap,
Like a puppy loves to chew,
Don't forget I really love you,
You will always be my favourite woman in my life,
Yes, even more than my future wife,
As Mother's day comes around,
I send you all my love,
I thank you for all your help,
You're my mother sent from above,
It's about time this poem comes to an end,
Don't worry, my love will never descend.
Love from Kyle
And here are the flowers, chocolates and original poem in the card which were hand delivered to the lucky mum this morning.

Helping Reluctant Writers
For many children, writing can be a daunting task. When presented with a blank piece of paper and a writing task like "write a recount about what you did today", they manage to squeeze out only 3 or 4 lines in 30 minutes. I usually get the questions "how do I start?" or "how long does it have to be", and then a bit of time-wasting whilst pencils are sharpened and rubbers are found. There is evidence of lots and lots of rubbing out, correction and re-phrasing. It shows lack of confidence and writers block and children don't really get why their writing is so bad; they can't tell you how to improve it.
So how can you help a child with weak writing skills? The easy answer is to get your child to keep a diary or sit down and write a story every day, but even professional writers find this difficult to do. And for the reluctant writer, this is equivalent to climbing a mountain. Below are some practical and easy methods which work.
The Slow and Untidy Writer
If you have a child who is a slow writer and focuses all his concentration and effort into the actual art of writing, then this is stopping the flow of ideas. So in this case, you could act as a scribe for your child. The child dictates and you write their story for them. The point is that your child gets his ideas on paper in a logical order, that it makes sense and that it uses his imagination. Ask lots of questions to extend ideas and prompt for better vocabulary. Encourage your child to add more details like adjectives and adverbs, and encourage him to formulate the full sentence in his mind before dictating it. You will find that your child will have written much more than 3 or 4 lines and this in itself is a very good motivator to write more.
The Child Who Doesn't See The Point In Writing
If you have a child who says "who's going to read this anyway" or "what's the point in writing" it means that they don't value the art of writing. They find it easier to just say it, and writing it down is wasted time.
Talk to your child about the importance of writing and why we need to learn to write. I think the writing process involves three stages of evolution. First we write to communicate. Most children understand this and it's how children start to learn to write. They start by making lists and writing messages, even annotating pictures they have drawn. You could start off this as a daily activity. Ask your child to write a shopping list, a birthday wish list or even a list of things to do. There are more ideas on lists here.Set a good example by writing things on post it notes and leaving them about the house for your child to find. Children follow by example.
The next stage is the "writing to entertain" stage. Who are they entertaining? Well at first it's themsleves so they have to write about something that interests them. I have a collection of writing prompts on my Pinterest and you can pick and choose one which will be suitable for your child. One of my teachers picks interesting topics for her students to write about. She teaches older children and often her essay titles are about issues which affect them. So instead of asking them to write a speech persuading their school to give money to a charity of their choice, she will ask them to write a speech to persuade their school to allow students to manage the school Instagram account.
The final stage is the "writing to express" stage. Expression takes time to develop. It can be in the form of poetry, or just by the words and the tone of the writing. You should be able to hear the writers voice through the writing. It uses emotion and can be quite honest writing. I have had reluctant writers who love to write poetry.
The Child Who Doesn't Know What To Write
A child who writes the bare minimum and finds it difficult to add detail and interest in his writing is suffering from writers block. They need guidance on how to pad out their writing and they need to know specifically how to extend their writing. They start writing without thinking about content and stumble after just writing the first sentence.
Brainstorming ideas and plots before writing can help unravel a child's writing brain and helps to visualise the direction the writing is going in. Brainstorming can be mind maps, spider diagrams, flow charts or even lists.
Checklists are also useful to remind children about features of different writing types and what they should be including in their writing. A simple internet search will yield checklists for "recount writing" for instance. If the checklist reminds a child to "say or show how a character reacted to an event" then the child is more likely to do so at each stage of the story.
Another method I use is to get the child to write a sentence followed by a question word to help extend the writing. For example the child writes "I saw a boy playing football". This could be followed by "who, why, when, where or how" to add in some detail. Ask specific questions about your child's writing:
How did that happen?
Did you react to that event?
What did you do?
Can you tell me more about…?
What are some other words you could use to describe…?
Where were you?
Why did that happen?
Once your child has produced their masterpiece, then avoid the urge to criticise it. Writing is a personal process, a form of expression, so any criticism on the writing can feel like you're criticising the child. Always make positive comments and acknowledge improvements first before you pick on the bad bits. I will finish with a few websites I use to motivate writers and provide inspiration.
Storybird -Storybirds are short, art-inspired stories you make to share, read, and print. Read them like books, play them like games, and send them like greeting cards. They're curiously fun. Storybird reverses the process of visual storytelling by starting with the image and "unlocking" the story inside. Choose an artist or a theme, get inspired, and start writing. Children can either write their own books using the pictures to inspire and create plots, or just as a prompt for a piece of writing. In this case they choose a picture and just describe what they see in the picture.
21 Stunning Photographs With Meaning – stunning photos of a variety of subjects, including children, flowers, people, and more. Each photo was selected not only for being stunning, but also for an underlying meaning that will be sure to brighten your day. Hopefully, these beauties will inspire your child to create beautiful pieces of writing.
The Literacy Shed – this website has lots of cartoons and short films to inspire your child to write. We use this as a starting point for writing, and one of the simplest tasks is to get the child to watch the video, and write a summary of the stroy line. It's a matter of simple recall, but don't be surprised when your child says she can't remember anything aprt from the first scene. That's because she's not used to focusing on the storyline and just watching for entertainment. As she practices more, she will remember more and more details. Another great feature of this website is that it has lesson ideas too, so if you wanted to do something more in line with the national curriculum, then theres plenty of material to work on.
But if you haven't got the time or struggle to explain things simply to your child, get a professional to help. Our fully qualified teachers can unlock the writing bug in any child!
At the initial assessment I can work out why your child is struggling with writing, then I can design a unique programme for him to follow.

So You Didn't get a "C" in English and Maths GCSE….
Exam results are out this week, and I'm hoping the 40 or so students I helped this year have achieved the grades they aimed for. I get a lot of calls from panicking parents and students who don't know what to do when they fail their GCSE English and Maths exams. It's not the end of the world. Here's a guide to what you should do next if you get a "D" grade or below.
Most people think of a fail as NOT getting a grade "C" because this is the minimum grade expected of students if they want to go into further education. In fact, getting that all important "C" in English and Maths is so important that universities can refuse to give you a place even if you've got A* s in all your other subjects.
So a lot of students have to re-take their GCSEs. I have taught students taking their GCSE's for the first time and those who are re-taking. Students re-taking their exams face the following problems:
Students often have fewer lessons when retaking because they are at college and often have a busy timetable dedicating more time to the new subjects.
They are either over-confident and get complacent. They think they will pass because they've done it all before. They have all their other subjects' work to do as well and tend concentrate on those.
They can get too negative and start thinking that they will never pass. Some get a mental block and continue to fail….
Students are very rusty – the last time they did maths or English was at least 3 months ago.
Students quite often GET THE SAME GRADE again!
To avoid all of the above, retake the exams as soon as possible and be prepared to do more work!
If you do not achieve a "C" grade pass in English language, then you can re-sit the exam in January 2013. The exam is on 10th January 2013.
As a general guideline, if you got a "D" overall then you can re-sit in January. Anything lower than that means that you have to repeat the whole year and retake the exam in June next year. You can re-submit your controlled assessments and speaking and listening assignments from year 11 if they are good.
If you want to re-sit in January then you'd better get your skates on! I've calculated that there are only 18 teaching weeks left. First you will have re-learn all of the course, then make sure that you know what you need to do to get a "C" grade and finally get in plenty of exam practice. If you do mock tests and past papers, then these should be marked and graded so that you know where you are going wrong. You can either mark them yourself or get them marked by a teacher. If you are re-sitting in June next year then you have more time, but you also have more work to do.
The GCSE Maths re-sits are in November. There are 2 papers, paper 1 is on 6th November 2012, and paper 2 is on 8th November 2012. The results will be published in January 2013. There are only 11 teaching weeks left, so don't waste any time.
It is important that all the main exam topics are covered several times before the exam, but if you are short of time, then prioritise the topics you need to know to pass the exam. A good way of doing this is by doing a mock test and looking at the results to see what you know and don't know. Then work on what you can't do.
Don't just revise 'favourite' topics – this won't be enough, something must be changed this time around.
As with GCSE English, get in plenty of exam practice and get used to working under timed conditions. Always mark the papers or get them marked and monitor how you are improving.
My blog article on understanding your examination results slip will help you to work out how close you were to a C grade.
Nobody wants to retake exams, but if you do find yourself in this situation, let us help you pass. Book a free assessment and we will show you the way.

Heaven Hill Brands has expanded its portfolio today, tapping into the Irish spirit market with the purchase of two well-known liqueurs — Carolans Irish Cream and Irish Mist — from Gruppo Campari for $165 million. The Bardstown-based company will purchase 100 percent of the share capital of TJ Carolan & Son Ltd., and part of the sale will include a distribution agreement with Gruppo Campari.
Heaven Hill is known for its top-selling bourbons like Evan Williams, Elijah Craig, Larceny and Henry McKenna, but it also owns brands like Deep Eddy Vodka, Lunazul Tequila and HPNOTIQ Liqueur.
Carolans Irish Cream is the second-largest selling Irish cream in the world, and it is made from a blend of fresh cream, honey and Irish whiskey. Meanwhile, Irish Mist comes two ways — as a liqueur and as a whiskey. The liqueur was the first to be produced in Ireland and is a blend of whiskey, honey and natural spices.
"We are excited to add to Carolans and Irish Mist to our portfolio of leading brands," said Max L. Shapira, president of Heaven Hill, in a press release. "The historic brands are certainly complementary fits for a Heaven Hill portfolio built on quality and innovation. We look forward to building on the success these brands have achieved both in the U.S. and around the world."
Carolans was developed in 1978 and has grown steadily ever since. It's second in the marketplace for Irish creams, with Bailey's being the largest seller. Irish Mist was first developed in Tullamore, Ireland, in 1947, and its recipe is believed to be about 1,000 years old.
The sale is expected to close on Aug. 1.

text: One morning during winter break, as I was sitting on my couch with a mug of coffee in hand, I remember reveling to my mom: "It's incredible how much majoring in anthropology kept on proving itself useful in medical school. Who would have known?" In college, I chose to major in a social science, anthropology—surely the less traditional route for students interested in medicine—because I was drawn to the sheer diversity of research areas and the engaging, experience-based fieldwork methods. Later, I happily discovered that studying anthropology was not only intellectually interesting and exciting but also practically useful in preparing for the MCAT—the CARS section is known to test critical reasoning skills on passages from science, social science, and the humanities, and analyzing plenty of Durkheim, Foucault, Marx, and Weber surely helped me tackle those potentially tough readings. But how else has studying a social science helped me grow? Below are 3 important skills in medicine that anthropology helped me hone before even beginning medical school:Read More

Crowell gives us great service. I find that Crowell & Moring lawyers are always engaging. You know they're good to talk to. They know a lot more than just our case. They know a lot of things around our case. I like that. I appreciate curiosity, and I try to be curious. I try to work about the edges, and they're always versatile in that respect. They're down to earth. So, I'm not talking to lawyers who have their nose in the air. They speak to us just peer to peer.
On billing practices, Crowell shows a fair amount of flexibility and that is very appreciated. We've done several different types of alternative fee arrangements, and I think they've all worked out well. And I believe Crowell staffs matters efficiently.
The Crowell antitrust team was a critical part of our ability to acquire the Hostess brands, and they did an amazing job for Flowers.
One thing I wish law firms understood more is our sensitivity to billing and charges that get passed on to us. Crowell is really outstanding in that regard. They're very sensitive to what our concerns are and work very closely with us to resolve them. Other firms that we've had issues with are not so sensitive to that, and it's pretty interesting to see it on this side.
Today's jury decision is an enormous victory for global intellectual property protection and the millions of users of DuPont™ Kevlar® technology and products. The size of this award is one of the largest in defense of business processes and technologies.
We use Crowell & Moring because they are among the most innovative antitrust counsel around. They have aggressively pursued recovery opportunities for us and are tenacious and formidable antitrust litigators whom we trust with our toughest cases.
We rely on Crowell as a true partner helping us achieve our growth and other business goals. Their experience and knowledge of the marketplace for California technology companies better enable us to capitalize on new opportunities. Whether on legal issues such as complex transactions or litigation or other aspects of our business, they take our business interests to heart and view our success as their success.

Coming June 1 from Wings ePress
TV hostess: Welcome to today's edition of Who's Who. My guest today is Aria DeLuca owner of St Francis Animal Clinic. As most of you know, the clinic is located just outside town. Dr. DeLuca, welcome to our show. We appreciate your time.
Aria: I've very glad to be here.
TV hostess: Can you tell us a little about your practice?
Aria: Yes of course. I started St. Francis after I got my veterinarian degree. As time went by we expanded our services, and today we offer boarding, and training as well as preventative and sick care.
TV hostess: Isn't it true that you have a rather unusual employee working at St. Francis?
Aria: Oh? Who might that be?
TV hostess: Don't you have an ex-convict working at St. Francis?
Aria: (lips thinning) Yes, I do, but I don't think there's anything so unusual about it. He's paid his debt to society, and with his knowledge of animal behavior I'm lucky to have found him.
TV hostess: I understand you had a break-in at St. Francis a few weeks ago. You don't suspect your new employee do you?
Aria: (eyes snapping) I certainly do not! No wonder so many ex-convicts return to prison. No one will give them a chance to start over. Be careful what you say. My father is a lawyer, and he might call this slander.
TV hostess: Please excuse me. I didn't mean to offend. Dr. DeLuca, thank you for coming today.
Aria: (voice cold) You're welcome.

In today's reality our appearance assumes a critical part in our everyday life. In a wide range of calling, men and ladies need to look respectable. Despite our body sort, skin tone, stature and weight, we have to endeavour o look great and satisfactory. Regardless of the fact that we are not conceived looking 'impeccable', we can upgrade our looks with the assistance of innovation. Because of the progression in innovation, we can get the appearance that we require, by deciding on different stylish medicines. Nonetheless, keeping in mind the end goal to benefit of these medications, or for getting appropriate healthy skin, we have to pick the right skin facility.
Here are a couple of things that you ought to consider while picking a skin facility:
1) Services offered-verging on each men or ladies will have the requirement for an assortment of skin related administrations. Along these lines, you ought to first decide the sort of administrations the salon or the foundation offers. For instance, when you choose a treatment for male pattern baldness, you may likewise require different administrations, for example, skin inflammation treatment, spots diminishment and so forth. Subsequently, it is better that you pick an organization that offers you with everything that you require.
2) Experience of the staff-if the staff of a skin centre are not experienced, qualified and professionally prepared, they won't have the capacity to benefit an occupation for you. Moreover, they may even wind up harming you or making harm your skin. For instance, medicines like laser hair evacuation are entirely dubious and must be performed via prepared experts. Subsequently, you ought to ensure that the foundation utilizes professionally prepared and experienced people.
3) Equipment and apparatuses in this period of innovation, the gear and devices utilized as a part of the universe of beautifying agents change quickly. Keeping in mind the end goal to give you the most ideal administration, the organization ought to have entry to the most recent instruments and gear. Additionally, the instruments they utilize ought to be of good quality, and those which are endorsed by authorities in the field of tasteful medication. On the off chance that they utilize obsolete apparatuses, they won't not have the capacity to offer an extensive variety of corrective medications.
4) Affordability – in these brutal monetary times, we can't disregard the component of reasonableness. Each city has numerous salons and excellence organizations, thus the skin centre that you pick ought to be the one that offer you with high calibre and reasonable administrations.
A skin centre utilizes experts who can help an assortment of people with their appearance challenges. There are numerous issues that can be revised or enhanced by aestheticians, dermatologists, or restorative experts. A few facilities are restorative spas where spoiling and therapeutic medicines go as an inseparable unit. Whether a man is experiencing a condition, an infection, or simply needs to look better, there are numerous sorts of systems that can work for them. Aestheticians are authorized cosmetologists that spend significant time in skin.

Squadron, Quart on NY1 re: Police Body Camera Footage
From NY1:
Last year, in an interview on Inside City Hall, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said that if he had his way, the recordings would never be public.
"We have never released 911 calls, and video recorded by these officers, I think it would be under the same protection of not being released, even to FOIL requests," Bratton said in September 2015."
But last month, in a letter to state Senator Daniel Squadron, who is co-sponsoring the legislation, the commissioner changed his tune. Bratton says, "The New York City Police Department believes that the videos captured by the body-worn cameras are records that are subject to FOIL and its exemptions."
"The commissioner being clear that body camera footage is in fact eligible for FOIL, which he had said it was not before, is great news for the public and great news as we expand this technology," Squadron said."

While there are some folk that are fond of critters and insects, there are those that aren't. By assumption, I'd say that a vast majority of the population are not. I for one, am part of the latter group of people, and the mere site of an insect is enough to send shivers down my spine. Franticly searching the pantry cupboard for a can of insecticide, while eyeballing the little bastard (careful not to lose sight of it), is usually my first response to any insect encounter. And when that can is found, I am not afraid to say that I go in with guns blazing, the aftermath of what resembles a battlefield of chemical warfare!
This technique of dealing with pests has been tried and tested, and works like a charm for most insects. I reiterate 'most insects' for there are some that seem to be immune to commercial insecticides. One such insect is the Parktown Prawn.
Resembling its distant cousin, this species of insect has been classified as part of the King Cricket family due its enormous size. Growing up to 7 cm in length, the Parktown Prawn is fully equipped with a stocky body, long whip like antennae, large mandibles and oversized rear legs all covered in a tough deep red exoskeleton. Frightening many a home owner, it is hard to miss and an encounter is sure to leave one with nightmares for some time after.
Habitat and Activity
Suburbs! Where lush, green gardens are plentiful and dirt is in abundance. A nocturnal creature, they usually rear their ugly heads after rainstorms, where they cautiously navigate open spaces with the hope of either breeding or setting up a new home. This is when they tend to enter houses (usually through an open window or the gap underneath the door) much to the fright of residents.
Defense Mechanism
They tend to emit a hissing type of sound to ward off any nearby threats. Should that prove ineffective, they are known to pinch anything that comes into contact with them. Also they tend to release a black like faecal liquid that not only smells foul, but is sure to leave a stain on any light coloured fabric. With their oversized rear legs, they are able to jump over a meter in the air.
This is what I find most interesting about this extraordinary insect. Nobody can say for certain where they are from, and scientists are of the opinion that the Park Town Prawn is an evolved species. The first specimen was discovered in the 1800's in Barberton, while the first sighting in Johannesburg was made in the 60's in the suburb of Park Town.
How to Kill
While commercial insecticides prove useless against the Parktown Prawn, one could always opt for the age old method of extermination, where rubber sole meets floor in an action packed jam that resembles a scene from 'Stomp the Yard'. The problem with this method is that, firstly one has to be in the close proximity to the insect, and not being able to anticipate when this creature decides to jump can be quite nerve wrecking. The second problem with this method, is having to clean up the bug juice after the extermination which is never a good sight.
GH Method
Thanks to the team at Gadget Hunters, we have found a safe and easy way of dealing with this pesky pest. Not only efficient, but rather clean too, this method is by far the most effective way to get rid of any unwanted guests.
Gadgets Required:
- Bucket
- Toy water pistol
- Some dishwashing liquid soap
- Brave assistant
- Mix some dishwashing liquid with water. The solution must not be too liquid neither too thick. Getting the correct mix here can be tedious, so our advice is to keep things simple and to dilute the dishwashing liquid with just enough water to allow for the solution to be sprayed out of the water pistol.
- Ask the 'brave assistant' to cover the pest using the bucket (turned upside down). This is to secure the insect to one confined location.
- With the water pistol loaded, you are now ready to take aim.
- Ask the assistant to lift the bucket just high enough to allow for a clean shot. Be cautious here as once the solution comes into contact with the insect, it is going to go berserk.
- Replace bucket and go have a cup of tea.
- Return and lift away the bucket. Parktown Prawn should be vanquished.
- Dispose of corpse, no clean up of bug juice necessary.

As Free As A BirdHave you ever felt trapped in your life? Like you are drifting through it with the feeling that no one notices you or even cares about you? Well whether you have or not, these are deep emotions and with the great advancements in video games it has become easier to portray them. Graphics have allowed for deeper facial expressions, voice acting to bring life to the characters and even blockbuster screenwriters have contributed but what if the game was without all of these factors. What if there was no spoken words and was set in a 16 bit world? Will it have the same effect? To be honest - it is a lot better.
A Birds Story is a short one hour interactive game about a child who is lost in his own little world. He goes day by day being ignored by the world. His parents communicate using notes, he sits at the back of his lessons and spare time is just as lonely. I feel like this child has already seen the harsher side of life and with him being so young, it is hard for him to pick himself up. The only way in which he seems to cope is by getting himself lost in day dreams. This is until he finds an injured bird, who is grounded due to a broken wing. Just like the child, the bird is now trapped but unlike the child, it is not through its own doing. This is where the true tale begins and that is as far as I am going to explain it as A Bird Story is all about the journey. Yes, it is a short tale but it manges to get the point of itself across to the player. It is an experience that revels itself across 8 chapters. It is an emotional roller coaster and like the real thing you must ride it to experience it.
There are times when you feel joy for the characters and sometimes great sadness but the factor which makes these emotions so strong is that there is no spoken or written word showing you that. It is just portrayed using excellent visual queues and a fantastic soundtrack. Seriously, if you do end up purchasing this game please pay a little more to get the soundtrack - it is magical and a joy to listen too. I may be a little bias here but I personally think a good soundtrack can add a hell of a lot to a game. It is a guide for how you should be feeling and it is right on queue here. Most if the pieces involving the child and bird are very happy moments but there are some that really make you think about the scene currently in play.
When the final scenes are being played out and you begin to understand what is happening, the music is there to make sure of it. Players who are really in touch with their emotions (or who have experienced a similar situation) may shed a tear. It is not all doom and gloom though - there is a chase scene which had a musical piece that closely resembled Benny Hill (if you are British and do not know this reference then go educate yourself!)

I have played a lot of games in my lifetime and titles which are eight times size did not touch me as much. The issue with these larger games is that there is a lot filler in between key moments meaning that the emotions felt lets say at the beginning may be lost or forgot by the time you get to the next key moment. It is an odd situation - here we have a tiny game full of story but as gamers we demand the most for our money. A Bird Story is an anomaly to this I believe. I feel that even though it is short you will get the most out of it as it will sit with you in your thoughts for a few days later. Upon completing I had to sit for a while thinking over what I had just experienced.
The art work of A Bird Story is just incredible too. Even using a 16bit look the attention to detail is huge! As you travel between scenes you find that they blend together - classrooms become forests and it works. It helps to blend the ideas of a child imagination into the harsh real world. Pixel art is widely used for Indie games at the moment and this is a fine example of it being used correctly.
A Bird Story is a bitter sweet story about finding hope in the smallest of places. It is a life lesson, a journey and an experience. It may been an experience you already have been through but seeing it through the eyes of this lonely child can be heartbreaking sometimes. For a game that had such a small development team and a short length I am truly impressed by what I played. We all have either a game, film or book that we could easily play, watch or read again and this is one of them.
It is a small game, with a simple story but a big message.
Who Should Play This?
- Any one with a spare hour on their hands
- If you are looking for a simple yet deep story - you will find that here
- If you enjoy getting lost in a world then A Bird Story is perfect for you
Who Should NOT Play This?
- If you are looking for more than an hour of gameplay, you will be dissopointed here
- Incapable of feeling feelings? Give this one a miss

Read Time: 6 Minutes
If you own or run a small business, it is highly recommended to switch electricity companies every 12 months to get the best rates available and manage monthly electricity costs. The average small business can save over 15% by switching energy supplier and plans each year. If your energy plan is up for renewal, here is a step-by-step guide on making the switch to a better rate and long-term savings.
This is the easy part and it starts online. Today, businesses have a variety of online websites and tools to search and compare energy providers, plans, and rates. The best way to compare providers is to use a simple and agnostic marketplace like EnergyBot.com. In less than 5 minutes, you can enter basic information about your business, like your zip code and monthly electricity bill, and then search and compare dozens of top energy suppliers in your area to find the lowest energy rate.
When you are comparing electricity plans, it will pay – literally – to take time to review the plan details, contract terms, and legal copy. Energy companies may entice you with a low rate, yet the fine print will reveal that it is a variable rate – that is only applicable when you are in a specific range of kWh usage. Also, review the contract term, cancellation fees, and out clauses before signing up for a new plan.
In many cases, the website you are using to find a new electricity bill will ask you to upload your most recent electricity bill. Although this may feel a bit intrusive, it is very pertinent and important to finding and securing the best rate available that day for your business. Your energy bill has your business information as well as the data that outlines your monthly energy usage. At Energybot, we will complete a quick bill analysis to make sure you are signing up for the best plan for your business.
To add, your new energy supplier requires a proof of your energy usage and your electricity bill is the easiest way to meet the requirement.
If you own or run a larger business with high energy usage (and higher monthly bill), then it may be beneficial to request a custom pricing quote. For larger companies, the process is a bit different. Due to your high energy usage, energy suppliers require a comprehensive review of your energy usage to provide a custom quote on a new plan and rate. At EnergyBot, you can get custom pricing support from one of our energy experts. To request a quote, get started by uploading your bill here.
If you use EnergyBot to switch energy providers, you will receive a confirmation email with the plan details and start date. It's very important to review the plan you authorized and the new start date. The transition to a new supplier will be seamless… you won't even notice until you get the electricity bill the next month. Then you can do a happy dance with all the money you saved because of the switch.
While changing energy suppliers may sound like a big deal, it's really not. Energy companies are constantly adding and removing service addresses. All of the changes happen behind the scenes without any service interruption to your home or business.
No. This is the biggest misconception when changing energy providers. The energy you are using isn't changing, just the way you are charged. You are just paying a new company for the power you are using. There won't be any an interruption to your electricity service, no new wires, or hardware installed.
Your new plan and rate will go into effect on the exact date on your new contract. That is why it's important to review your contract when you sign up.
Will my new energy supplier contact me?
Every energy supplier is different yet in most cases, you will receive a confirmation email and/or a welcome packet in the mail within a couple of weeks of switching.
No. After your switch date, you will only receive a bill from the new energy provider. Just make sure that your account from your old supplier is paid in full.
Yes. You can switch suppliers as often as you like, but depending on the length of your contract you may be charged a cancellation fee to switch. Again, read your contract terms.
In most cases, you can save your business money by signing up for a new plan every 12 months and switching providers every year. In some cases, you may even be able to find a great rate with your current supplier. Yet, make sure you do not let your energy supplier simply renew your plan as they may increase your rates. Energy costs are important to your bottom line so take the time to complete your research, compare plans online, and find the best rate for your business.
You probably already have an energy plan for your business. So why think about a future energy plan, in say, 2021… As a business owner or manager, it can pay off to think about energy plans and rates now – even a few years from now.
When it comes to buying pretty much anything – a car, furniture, shoes, or even pizza…we are all looking for the best price. Which is, of course, usually the lowest price. So we shop around…visiting online stores or stopping by traditional brick-and-mortar stores or even simply asking friends for recommendations. Eventually, we will find a price that we're willing to pay and make the purchase.
If you made the commitment to be a green business, or just want to be a little more green, then signing up for an energy plan that includes green energy sources is one of the simplest ways to take that first step and reduce the carbon footprint for your business.

(WTVM) - One of the most famous men in Columbus told the story that he was born the day after Veteran's Day in 1932, so his aunt thought he should be named Lieutenant.
And for years, Lieutenant Stevens had to explain that it wasn't his rank in the military, that was actually his name.
Lieutenant Stevens died last week at 87, famous for being the cook extraordinaire at Dinglewood Pharmacy, the man who perfected the scramble dog.
For connoisseurs of the meal, it was the chili that made the red hot dogs underneath it so good. The chili was Lieutenant's specialty.
He was a famous employee at a famous eatery, in the rear of the Dinglewood Pharmacy, standing since 1918. It's a place that can take you back in time.
The lunch counter, where Lieutenant worked until 2002, when he finally retired, could be a stand-in for a lot of other '50's style lunch counters across the south.
At a similar lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, a peaceful sit-in in 1960 sparked the successful civil rights movement that desegregated dining rooms throughout the south.
Lieutenant Stevens worked the same kind of lunch counter during those days, and beyond. In fact he started working at the age of 16.
Both the pharmacy, which turned 100 last year, and Lieutenant Stevens proudly stood the test of time.
Even though he's gone now, Lieutenant will always be fondly remembered by Columbus natives, who told us he was always optimistic, always sunny, always smiling.
Lieutenant's legacy includes his longevity and dedication to his job, and helping make - and keep - the Dinglewood Pharmacy scramble dog a world famous lunchtime tradition.

Building on the success of the Malampa Handicraft Centre
Project Name: Skills Centres supporting Women in Provincial Vanuatu – contributing towards inclusive economic growth
Project Partner: Vanuatu Skills Partnership (TVET Program)
Total Funding: $800,000 (part of a larger program)
Funding timeframe: 2016–2019
The Malampa Handicraft Centre is a local initiative that has become a vibrant and thriving place for producers to sell their handicrafts. It is now looking to grow from a community run store within one province, to a sustainable and profitable social enterprise by 2020, facilitating domestic and international trade.
The Malampa Handicraft Centre is a community enterprise in Norsup, Malekula. Over 300 local producers participate in the initiative, 90 per cent of whom are women, including women with disabilities. Its aim is to unite women, men and children by providing a space to engage in sustainable business and showcase and sell locally-made crafts.
Sales at the Malampa Handicraft Centre generated 2.8 million vatu during 2016–2017. The producers retain 80 per cent of profits and the remainder is reinvested into the Malampa Handicraft Centre.
Pacific Women is supporting the Department of Women's Affairs and the Department of Industry through the Vanuatu Skills Partnership to capitalise on this potential. A three-year business plan has been developed to link rural producers from the Malampa Handicraft Centre with vendors who are based on islands that are more frequented by tourists. A suite of customised skills training is being delivered through the Vanuatu Skills Partnership, focused on product design, quality control and business management. The improvement in product quality is now also leading to interest from international buyers.
Building on the lessons from the Malampa model, handicraft centres are being established in Tafea and Torba provinces. In Torba, the handicraft centre will open in October 2017 in a newly constructed community space. In Tafea, a handicraft industry working group has been established and the Department of Industry has mobilised a full-time officer to lead the development of a new centre there, linked to the volcano-based tourism industry.
The impact of the Malampa Handicraft Centre goes beyond improving livelihoods for individual women. There have also been changes in gender-related attitudes amongst those involved with the initiative. Producer Marie-Anne says her husband now assists with her basket weaving enterprise.
'Before the Malampa Handicraft Centre was established, men in our village never touched pandanus – it was 'women's work'. This has changed; with the community seeing more sales from handicrafts, the men have begun supporting the collection of pandanus.'
Marie-Anne's husband now goes into the bush to collect the pandanus leave for her baskets. He cleans, dries and prepares the wheel. Once Marie-Anne finishes weaving, her husband closes the basket with pandanus and adds the colour. Their story is just one example of the Malampa Handicraft Centre meeting its objective of bringing women and men together in this empowering space.
*This Story of Change was originally published in the Pacific Women Annual Progress Report 2016 – 2017. All values are consistent with that reporting period. For the most up-to-date value of activities, visit our interactive map.

"Adventure," L. Ron Hubbard said, "I well know, is in the heart, not in the view." In his stories, which were uniquely drawn from true-to-life experiences, including then-rare voyages to Asia and the South Pacific, he adventured grandly, carrying readers into the cold, storm-swept sea, or the heat of a vast desert or the wild currents of the air. A member of the famed Explorers Club, Mr. Hubbard delivered in these stories a sharp jolt of reality with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding bold adventure.
The 17-book collection includes 24 short stories, illustrations from the original publications and glossaries of historical terms.

My brother bishops, dear brothers and sisters in Christ,1
What a glorious morning to give thanks to our good God and to renew our faith in Jesus Christ and his Catholic Church!
In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus describes the Church as the new family of God gathered by his words and actions.
Those who hear the Word of God and act on that Word are members of his family, he tells us.
This is a beautiful definition of who we are as Catholics. We are the family of God. And that means one of us is a child of God! That means that each one of us is a sister or brother to one another. That is the beautiful reality in our Catholic Church and in our lives.
The Gospel today reminds us that in Baptism, we are reborn by his Word and sacrament, by the power of his Holy Spirit. The family of the Church is not a family related by blood ties or ethnicity or nationality. We are a family born of the Spirit, united in his Body and Blood that we receive in the Eucharist.
So we remember today also that our Catholic Church, the family of God, is a family that has no borders. We are one family of families — drawn from every nation, tribe, people and tongue!
And Jesus Christ, as we know, called his Church to spread his Gospel to the ends of the earth, to make disciples of all nations. We remember today in this holy Mass the heroic men and women who brought the good news of Jesus Christ and his salvation to Korea.
The holy martyrs, St. Andrew Kim, St. Paul Chong, and some 100 of their companions, all laid down their their lives so that future generations would know Christ's salvation. What a beautiful example for all of us.
So let us today be inspired by their memory and ask their intercession as we rededicate ourselves to the work of the new evangelization in our country.
And let me finish with the beautiful words of a newly beatified woman, Mother María Inés Teresa Arias. She lived here in Los Angeles and on December 12, 1930, she received her call to be a missionary in a special way. She is going to be beatified next April 21 in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
She said: "Joy in our daily Mass, our adoration and meditation, in our daily apostolate, in any type of work we do — in all the actions of our daily lives. While we eat and sleep, as well as when we rest. We need to be missionaries by every breath, by every palpitation of our hearts, minute by minute of our lives."2
And let us ask our Blessed Mother May, who kept all the words she heard about her Son and pondered them in her heart, to help us to hear Christ's Word and to live by it, and to really be the family of God!

The first thing that grabbed our attention after entering More Than Meow was the animal odor that hung about the place. Inside, a number of cats were showcased in a glass room near the stairs leading to the second floor. A few felines wandered about, and occasionally a hairless Sphinx cat jumped onto our table.
What sets this venue apart from the others on this list is the fact that it isn't a cafe. With a full menu of Western and Japanese dishes, including pasta, steak, German sausages and unagi rice, among others, we consider More Than Meow a full-fledged restaurant.
Drink options here are numerous and range from alcoholic beverages such as wine, to coffee, milk tea and milkshakes.

« Evers Still Silent on Budget Intentions | Home | Evers Calls for the Budget »
Notes on Budget Process
By John Forester | June 27, 2019
From The Wheeler Report . . .
The budget has passed both houses of the legislature and is ready to be enrolled. It is expected that enrollment will be done quickly with the possibility of the leadership of both houses signing the bill cover on Friday. It is expected that Speaker Vos will direct the Assembly Chief Clerks office to deliver the budget to the Governor per Assembly Rule 23(4). If the budget is delivered to the Governor and the Legislature does not wait for the bill to be called for by the Governor, it will be the first time that has occurred. The Speaker's office has directed the Chief Clerk to deliver bills to the Governor before, but never the budget. If delivered to the Governor on Friday, the 6 day clock will begin on Saturday, meaning the Governor would have until Friday, July 5 to act.

text: raptor15sc 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Hi. I'm making a simple one screen program in Visual Studio 2008 and I just need to add 4 links to it (which i don't know how to do) and make it into a CAB (i need to learn this too) I've attached a "template" of the program (app) that i think may have the code that i've created so far for Visual Studio 2008. It is in C#. Also, I've attached a picture of the single screen with the 4 buttons that need to be made into links that open up the linked webpage in the phone's default browser. The links that correspond to the text buttons in the picture are attached in a notepad doc as well. Here is the code in question with the buttons that just needs to be turned into links that open up the default browser to the websites (i've also attached this code in notepad): using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace SmartDeviceProject3 { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } } } One last question, I also have to make this same app for the iPhone, is there any simple conversion tool for that? Or am i going to have to borrow my friends mac book pro and iPhone? Any and all help is much appreciated. Thanks!

The iShares MSCI Singapore Index (NYSEArca: EWS) exchange traded fund (ETF) was a decent performer in 2010, as far as global ETFs go. But this year may not necessarily bring more of the same.
The most recent hit to EWS came as Singapore's government pulled the lid off tightening measures to keep housing prices in check, explains Murray Coleman for Barron's. [Singapore ETF Positioned for Growth In 2011.]
On top of that, Gaurav Raghuvanshi for The Wall Street Journal reports that export growth slowed to a 13-month low in December as shipments of key electronics products and pharmaceuticals declined.
Growth picked up in the last three months of the year, but that may be short-lived. Fourth-quarter growth was a nice 6.9%. V. Phani Kumar for MarketWatch reports that this year, however, growth could be more in the 4% to 6% range. [7 Reasons to Think About Singapore ETF.]
Is that any reason to forget Singapore this year? No – that kind of growth is still growth that many developed nations would fall all over themselves for at this point. EWS is still about 5% above its long-term trend line. Although growth may be more tempered this year, Singapore still looks to be on the right track.

Saying Goodbye to Walt Disney Collectors Society
With the last issue of Sketches the Walt Disney Collectors Society included a letter explaining that the company will no longer be supporting this society and that Sketches will cease publication. While I am sad to see it go, in a sense, I feel a sense of relief. Maybe I might be able to keep up with the few releases they have left! That being said - I was very excited to find that TJ Maxx has many Walt Disney Classic Collection pieces including the "beautiful dance among the stars".
The collectors society had two membership pieces. One in 2002 - "Won't You Smile For Me" Snow White (seen pictured in article) and again in 2009 - "Gleeful Grin" Dopey . For more detailed information and images of each piece look at Duckman's WDCC Inside Report.

Celebrations: Discovering the Magic of WDW
At the D23 Expo I found out about Celebrations Press and their magazine celebrating Walt Disney World. I am a West coaster and a Disneyland passholder but this magazine won me over. (Don't get me wrong - I love visiting WDW - on the rare occasion I make it to the east coast). I had been saving up the issues to read during this winter vacation break and was pleasantly surprised to find information about Snow White! The November December 2009 issue featured Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs as the feature film. It had even included one fact I hadn't read before! Then the September/October 2009 issue informed me that a Beatles song "Do you want to know a secret?" is based on "I'm Wishing"! No wonder I love that Beatles song! I'll have to order the back issues and see what I have missed!

Last night, a gunman killed 12 (confirmed) people at a Colorado opening of The Dark Knight Rises. He wore a gas mask and released an unknown gas into the crowd and opened fire upon them. Several people were killed and 50 were injured. Due to this, the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises scheduled for Friday in Paris has been canceled as well. The gunman is James Holmes, a student who dropped out of the University of Colorado Medical School last month! A total of 71 persons were shot by the suspect.
Let's remember the following people in this tragedy…
- John Blunk, 26
- AJ Boik, 18
- Air Force Staff Sgt. Jesse E. Childress, 29
- Gordon W. Cowden, 51
- Jessica Ghawi, 24
- John Larimer USN, 27
- Matt McQuinn, 27
- Micayla Medek, 23
- Veronica Moser-Sullivan, 6
- Alex Sullivan, 27
- Alexander Teves, 24
- Rebecca Ann Wingo, 32
I just want to say that my thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and families of the shooting at the Century 16 movie theater in Colorado. (Gunman kills 12 at 'Dark Knight Rises' screening in Colorado) (images from ABC)

The following is a statement by director Christopher Nolan about the tragic events that happened in Aurora, Colorado.
Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community.
I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime.
The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me.
Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families.
President Obama has issued a proclamation that orders flags to fly at half-staff from now until sunset on Wednesday.
"As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on July 20, 2012, in Aurora, Colorado, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, July 25, 2012. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations."
