Company History
Aim for the Tangent Theatre is a Toronto based theatre company with an interest in providing creative opportunities and mentorship for emerging artists, and finding innovative ways to tell old stories through the development of new work.
Aim for the Tangent Theatre officially debuted in 2012 to great success with The Wakowski Bros. in the Toronto Fringe. Garnering 4, 4 ½, and 5 star reviews, it picked up numerous accolades including "Outstanding Production" (NOW Magazine), "Critic's Pick", and "Best of Fringe Uptown" – continuing on to an extended run at the Toronto Centre for Performing Arts.
Later that summer, the company staged a three night public performance of a workshop production of Mature Young Adults, a play which had been previously published and then extended and workshopped by the company. This winter, the company has been involved in further workshops, developing the religious farce Genesis and Other Stories by Rosamund Small, with help from the Paprika Festival. As well, Artistic Director Wesley J. Colford has been developing a new play, The Muse Sarcophagus, which was supported by the company through informal readings last fall. In August, the company will take Mature Young Adults to the Atlantic Fringe Festival in Halifax, in anticipation of a future Toronto run.
Wesley J. Colford, Artistic Director
Wesley J. Colford is an emerging actor/playwright and Artistic Director of Aim for the Tangent Theatre. Originally from Sydney, Nova Scotia, he is currently based in Toronto having completed studies at Sheridan College and George Brown Theatre School. In the past four years, Wesley has written five full-length plays (including two musicals), nine one-acts, eight short plays for children, and has been produced in three provinces. His most recent success includes the hit Toronto Fringe Vaudeville Musical, The Wakowski Bros., which was honored with rave reviews, a sold out run, and inclusion in the 2012 Best of Fringe. It will receive its professional premiere at Talk is Free Theatre in Barrie, ON in 2014.
As an actor, he has recently been seen in Genesis & Other Stories (Toronto Fringe Festival), The Seagull (Upstart Theatre), Performing Occupy (Docket Theatre), and Tam Lin (Toronto Fringe/Epona Productions).
Other plays include: Excuse Me, Would You Like to Buy a Bar? (Toronto Fringe Festival 2011, winner of Tarragon Theatre's "Under 20 by Under 20's Playwriting Competition"), Mature Young Adults, (published in the anthology: Out on a Limb: Short Plays by New Playwrights, edited by Kit Brennan, Signature Editions, 2011), and My Friend's Best Friend's Boyfriend (New Ideas Festival 2013).
In May 2013, he received a Professional Development grant from Theatre Ontario to study producing and Artistic Direction under the mentorship of Jacob Zimmer at Small Wooden Shoe.
Wesley is a proud alumni of the Summerworks Leadership Intensive Program and is a member of both the Playwright's Atlantic Resource Centre (PARC) and the Playwright's Guild of Canada.
He is represented by Pam Winter at the Gary Goddard Agency in Toronto.

Breaking News Emails
Ariel Castro's desire for his young daughter to live a normal life ate at him so much that he eventually eased up on the three women he held captive for a decade, hoping they and the girl would escape his house of horrors, his attorney said.
But he didn't have the "courage" to just go to police and surrender, attorney Craig Weintraub told NBC affiliate WKYC in Cleveland in an exclusive interview.
Weintraub spoke to WKYC almost exactly one year to the day after Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus were rescued from Castro's Cleveland house. The daughter that Berry had given birth to while being held, 6 years old at the time, was also saved on May 6, 2013.
Castro became attached to the little girl, and as she grew older, he realized she needed to live outside the confines of the home, Weintraub said. Six months to a year before the women escaped, Castro told Berry he knew the end was coming.
"It wasn't going well any longer. His daughter was at an age that she should not be in the house anymore. She needed to be in school and be in a normal environment, and she needed friends," Weintraub said.
So Castro intentionally became "much more negligent in the house about locking the door," he said.
Over the years, Castro would barricade the women in rooms upstairs when he had company over, tying them up in chains, Knight told NBC News in interviews that aired this week. He would play mind games with the women, sometimes leaving their doors open but coming in frequently to make sure they didn't try to escape, she said.
But his love for the girl was so strong that he dismissed thoughts of killing the women because of how it might affect his daughter, Weintraub said.
Castro even went so far as to celebrate holidays with his captives. Weintraub described home videos, now in the possession of the FBI, of the group celebrating Easter and Christmas.
"What was startling to me was watching the videos of the Easter celebrations in the house, searching for Easter eggs, hunting for Easter eggs, as well as the Christmas celebration, like it was a normal family," he said.
Weintraub described his client as a sociopath and said he would joke with the women about the books they would write once they were free.
Weintraub was one of two attorneys for Castro and talked with his client extensively in jail after Castro's arrest. He said Castro would frequently toy with him, insisting on talking to him naked inside his cell and avoiding answering questions about evidence by making Weintraub turn off the air conditioning.
Castro pleaded guilty to hundreds of charges and was sentenced in August to life in prison plus 1,000 years. The following month, he committed suicide in his prison cell.
Weintraub's revelations came on the same day that new documents in the case were made public.
Hundreds of pages, including police files, internal memos, and court records, were released Monday by Cuyahoga County prosecutors and published by The Cleveland Plain Dealer. More records are expected to be released later.
Reams of pages were redacted, and some of the information published in the papers had already been made public in the case.
But many details were revealed for the first time, including:
Castro was sexually abused as a young boy, but didn't use his childhood as an excuse for the decade of torture that he forced three women to endure inside his house.
- Berry, Knight, and DeJesus said they didn't want the case to go to trial, if possible. "They say they understand the need to put Castro away for life," Blaise Thomas, an assistant county prosecutor, wrote in an interoffice memo. In the same memo, he said that Berry told authorities she "did not want to participate in killing her child's father."
- Prosecutors wanted Castro to take a lie-detector test to figure out whether there were any other victims. The test showed there were not.
- Castro said he and the mother of his other children, Grimilda Figueroa, had an abusive relationship. He blamed her for the violence, claiming he was defending himself. Court records show he often beat her, breaking her ribs and giving her a head injury.
- Castro's school records, which prosecutors pulled, showed he was a below-average student who struggled in high school, despite graduating in 1979.

Illinois Schools Participate in Practice Exams
About 125,000 Illinois public school students will be taking practice exams beginning this week to determine the effectiveness of progress assessments the state will adopt next year.
The tests, which are being administered in about 1,800 schools, are tied to learning goals called the Common Core Standards that have been adopted by Illinois and dozens of other states.
Illinois will implement the testing in all 860 districts next year.
The tests by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers replaces the current Illinois Standards Achievement test that's given to third- through eighth-graders, and the Prairie State Achievement Exam that's given to high school juniors.
The Illinois State Board of Education says the pilot test takers are a representative sample of Illinois students.

At least 17 of the inshore pod of bottlenose dolphins hung around Penzance all day today. They displayed many behaviors from feeding to socialising to resting, which were interesting to watch.
We have been keeping photo identification records of the South Wests inshore bottlenose dolphins since 2007 and now have nearly 40 recognised individuals in our catalogue – the 2013 version is here . As well as the photos we collect numerous other information during an encounter. This helps us to understand how they are using the area as well as where they travel to when they are not off Penzance. Through working with Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Marine Life, Devon and Dorset Wildlife Trusts we are starting to build a picture of their range. It is important to keep good records as these can be used to help inform decisions about where we might set up protected areas and how we might manage them.

Advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently associated with dementia. The pathogenesis of this dementia is complex, related to deficiency of several biogenic amines and cortical Lewy body deposition, as well as co-existent age related brain changes, both of the Alzheimer's type and vascular. However, degeneration of the cholinergic neurons in the nucleus basalis of Meynert may have an important contribution to the cognitive decline. The dementia of PD has a grave effect on the quality of life of the patients and their caregivers, as well as negative effect on their survival. The treatment of dementia associated with PD therefore must encompass several agents. Cholinesterase inhibitors, such as rivastigmine, produced gratifying results. Future studies should define the exact role of this agent in the treatment of the dementia of PD.

MIDDLEBURY — The Counseling Service of Addison County (CSAC) has put the finishing touches on a $650,000 fund-raising campaign and is now seeking permission from the town of Middlebury to proceed with two major building projects to accommodate its ever growing list of clients and services.
The most ambitious of the projects is a proposed 19,000-square-foot building in Catamount Park off Exchange Street that would house CSAC's administrative offices and its "Community Associates" program that provides services to people with developmental disabilities in Addison County. That program has outgrown its current headquarters at 61 Court St.
CSAC is also advancing a plan to build a 2,528-square-foot addition on its office building at 89 Main St. That structure currently houses CSAC's adult mental health, psychiatry, out-patient and emergency services departments. The addition would accommodate four new offices; a large "group area"; a clinical records storage space; and sprinkler/fire alarm systems for the entire building.

VERGENNES — The Vergennes Development Review Board on Monday held a public hearing but made no ruling on a topic that has intrigued city officials: a proposal by the Champlain Valley Christian School (CVSC) to put four wind turbines on top of the new high school it is building off Church Street on the Waltham town line.
CVSC representative Ted Boelens said on Tuesday that school officials estimate that the four turbines, which he said at the Monday hearing looked like larger versions of "55-gallon drums," would save the school about $6,000 a year in its power bills.
The purchase and installation of the four wind turbines, plus smaller power-generating solar panels and needed electronic equipment, will cost about $36,000, Boelens said. Efficiency Vermont is granting the school $18,000 toward the project.

BRISTOL — Papier-mâché sculptures of the Madonna, usually dressed in clothes native to Nepal, graced Bristol's Main Street in the window of Folkheart for years until the store closed at the beginning of this year.
For many in town they were one set of unique Christmas decorations among many, but to their creator, Pamela Smith, they meant a lot more. To the 56-year-old Bristol resident the sculptures are a way to honor motherhood, which she feels is underappreciated in our culture.
"If you're having a child, the most important job is to raise that child so that they're healthy, mentally and spiritually," Smith said. "We all come from a mother, and I think that we need to give them credence."
MIDDLEBURY — The Gailer School will not move into the Congregational Church of Middlebury's Charter House after all. Instead, school officials will reopen their search for a new campus somewhere else in Middlebury.
Gailer officials confirmed on Thursday they weren't able to raise enough money in a short enough period of time to buy the Charter House and finance the renovations necessary to transform the North Pleasant Street building into a school.
That means the small private school will continue to use the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society (CVUUS) campus as a temporary home, while it rekindles its search for a permanent headquarters in Middlebury village.
It also leaves the Congregational Church in somewhat of a bind, at least temporarily. The church had cleared the Charter House of tenants in anticipation of the sale, which was announced in March, and had begun planning an addition at its Main Street worship hall to accommodate Sunday school and other functions that had been based at the Charter House.

ADDISON COUNTY — Eight brand new Middlebury College freshmen scraped at the pale blue paint on Lori and Mike Wallace's Vergennes house on Labor Day weekend. The Wallaces had their hearts set on a new look: granite grey with pink trim.
"It's unusual, I know, but it's what we wanted," Lori said.
The trouble was, both are disabled. Mike broke his neck and Lori suffered a brain hemorrhage a few years ago. So getting out there on ladders wasn't really an option for them.
Luckily, through the Champlain Valley Agency on Ageing (CVAA) the couple was paired up with 10 eager college students — two upperclassmen led the group — looking for some way to get to know the community before diving into their first semester.
The students, who started classes on Monday, were part of Middlebury Outdoor Orientation (MOO), a 20-year-old program that this year drew more than 200 of the 645 incoming freshmen. MOO is designed to give new students a feel for the environment surrounding the college while offering them an opportunity to bond with each other.

MIDDLEBURY — Addison County town clerks have developed their own policies on releasing citizens' property tax information until the Legislature revisits the manner in which education funding information is reflected in public tax records.
That was the word from officials in several area towns last week, as they continued to grapple with the new way in which property tax prebates are distributed to qualifying taxpayers under the Vermont's education funding laws.
To spread the cost of education equally, the state's Act 60 and Act 68 education funding laws until this year mandated that the Vermont Department of Taxes set a statewide property tax rate, calculate property owners' tax bills based on local conditions, and send checks, called prebates, to homeowners whose incomes do not surpass a given threshold.
WHITING — The Whiting Free Library has no heat, no electricity and no plumbing. Operating out of the town's old Baptist church pressed right up against Route 30, it doesn't provide patrons with anywhere to park either. The building is equipped with a small woodstove, but librarian Tammy Wilbur says the ceilings are so high it never really warms up. So for as long as anyone can remember, the library has been open only an hour a week, and during the winter it is always closed.
But all this could change, if Wilbur and a group of library trustees and volunteers get their way.
Inspired by some classes she recently took with the Vermont Department of Libraries, Wilbur decided it was about time to revitalize the old library, open it for more hours during the week and work to transform it into a welcoming community center.
"It's not that it hasn't been open, kids have been using it," Wilbur said. "But if we're going to really make something of this we have to really jumpstart it a little."

As every American schoolchild knows, the highest mountain in North America is Alaska's Mount McKinley (elevation: 20,320 ft., a mere 8,708 ft. lower than the Himalayas' Mount Everest). But centuries before paleface cartographers gave the peak that name, Alaskan Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos called it by another: Denali, or "the Great One" in the Athabascan Indian dialect. Now native Alaskans are lobbying hard to restore the original Indian name. The state legislature has adopted a resolution to rechristen the mountain Denali, and both Governor Jay Hammond and Senator Mike Gravel are campaigning to persuade the U.S. Interior Department to make the...

Tap to Play
Salina Yoon - Balzar and Bray - 15.99 - 9780062286840

By tapping the red dot, the narrator of this simple story, readers embark on quest similar to a video game which requires shaking, tilting, flapping and knocking.

Sure to produce giggles and smiles, this book is recommended for school libraries and will be requested by students in the primary grades, particularly Preschool through first.
#prehistoric Follow the Dinosaurs
Scholastic - 9.99- 9780545823418 -John Bailey Owen
What if the prehistoric era had a social media site? That's the premise for this book featuring over 60 dinosaurs, early mammals, and major prehistoric events and places who post facts about themselves in the "about me" section of their page, and interact with each other via a message board. InterruptingDina, also known as Iguanadon, is the first to join the social site. He is soon followed by the trillobite, screen name Trill_O_byte who reminds any confused friends that he is the ancestor for the now ubiquitous insect. Plenty of favorites appear, including the velociraptor and the woolly mammoth, with a few surprise members like Pangea and something with the screen name "AttackPony." This is a clever way for dino lovers to find out more about their favorite lizards and prehistoric animals. It has plenty of full color pictures and maps to help readers visualize the online predator or prey. Fun screen names and hashtags are educational as well, such as Official_Rex1, soon to be known as Tyrockasaurus Rexington with #rebrand. Elasmosaurus (KillerSeaGiraffe22) tags with #PebblesHelpWithDigestion and #MiraclePebblesDiet. This book is recommended for school libraries who will find it flying off the shelves into the hands of readers grades 2-6.
Temple Run-Run for YOur Life!: Doom Lagoon
Egmont, Chase Wilder, 6.99 9781606845721
Jungle Trek 9781606845714
Based on the popular video game, these choose-your-own-adventure books are a fun and easy read, perfect for boys or reluctant readers. The covers feature Guy Dangerous and Scarlett Fox, characters in each book, as well as a boy who is the "you" in the stories. Both books are set in remote areas where simple choices at the bottom of the page can lead the reader to further adventures, or sudden death by crocodiles, drowning or demon monkeys! It is quite easy to start again and to read a new ending to the story, and would be a great read-aloud for students in lower grades. Students in grades 3-7 will enjoy reading the books on their own. These are recommended for school libraries.
Unnatural Selections
Wallace Edwards
Orca Book Publishers 19.95
Wallace Steven's beautiful illustrations are the highlight of this book featuring crazily mixed-up creatures from the mind of Professor I.B. Doodling. From the first page where the Whalephant leaps into the air above the ocean, giggling readers will be captivated by the magical silliness of the colorful drawings. Some animal mixes are quite rega according to the rhyming couplet that accompanies each illustration- the proud Hawkodile "sits and ponders all the while." However, others are just plain awkward, including the Toraffe whose tortoise backside must held up by a balloon while her giraffe head is "held up with pride." The last two pages of the book include additional creatures that appear the book with rhyming couplets. It will lead to rereads of the book as readers scan the illustrations to locate the mismatched animals. Perfect for read-alouds, this book is recommended for grades K-5.
The Magic Thief: Home
Sarah Prineas
Harper Collins 17.99
The third book in The Magic Thief series finds Conn returning to his roots. Despite proving himself as a trustworthy wizard, the elder wizards don't believe he can ever be anything more than a common pickpocket. Determined to prove he is not the culprit in the disappearance of the powerful locus magicalicus stones that give the magicians their power, Conn returns to his thieving and grubby beginnings. With the help of his royal best friend, Conn must make find the real thief and avoid being pulled back into the grip of old enemies who'd like to see him fail. This series is a perfect fit for readers who are in search of Harry Potter but aren't ready to fail in their quest due to a higher reading level. Older primary students in grades 3-6 will enjoy the characters and magical setting. It is recommended for school libraries who have the other books in the series.
Micol Ostow
Egmont 16.99
Ostow's book uses the real-life murders from the newspaper and not the novel and movie that put the town of "Amity" on the map as the basis for this book. Told in two voices, the book spans across a decade. Connor moved into the house in Amity ten years before Gwen and her family did. Both share their experiences in the house, from bad dreams and shadows to violence and death. The house in Amity is the power in both stories, and its presence looms largely in the lives of the teens. In the end, their live parallel each other more than either would ever want, and Amity claims it's last victim. Teen readers who are not familiar with the real story of what happened in the house in Amityville, New York may find a compelling read in this novel. However, the book and movie have had a large impact on popular culture, and their influence will be hard for readers to shake. There are some creepy parts to be sure, and readers will find themselves reading this in a well-lit place, but overall, the story is not compelling enough to compete with the fictional images from the movie. It is an optional purchase for readers in grades 9-12.

Transfer companies (sometimes called postcard, rescue, or relief companies) are businesses that solicit timeshare owners like you to give up or transfer ownership of your timeshare to another entity or person for a fee (usually several thousands of dollars)—thus "unburdening" you from paying maintenance fees and other costs. We will refer to all these kinds of businesses simply as transfer companies.
Based on research and information we have received from timeshare owners as well as management companies and developers, transfer companies seem to come in all shapes and sizes, offering various types of services to timeshare owners. While there are transfer companies that fulfill their promise to transfer ownership of your timeshare, you should be aware of the potential pitfalls of using the services of a transfer company and what might happen to your timeshare even if the transfer takes place.
The worst example of this type of activity occurs when the transfer company takes your money and simply does nothing or fails to properly transfer your interest. If the company does not keep its promises, you will still own your timeshare and possibly owe past-due maintenance fees—in addition to the high fee you paid to the transfer company!
Even if the transfer company does what it promises, it often transfers the timeshare to an asset-less or "shell" corporation that has no intention of paying maintenance fees. This will leave your resort owners' association with unpaid annual assessments and expensive foreclosure actions, meaning more debt for your owners' association.

Transfer companies may use various "scare tactics." Some of their tactics are exaggerations—and some are total lies. See some of the frequently reported misrepresentations that we have heard from consumers and directly from representatives of transfer companies.

I tend to bury it until I explode. I don't want to talk to anyone…[but]......just stay in bed, hide away, hope it goes away". "I didn't know how to like talk to people" "Like if there weren't organisations like Kids Company about I would have been terrorising the streets, literally like a menace to society….something I would not like to have become, but luckily I had Kids Company Aims and Methods • Aims: • to assess the outcomes for a sample of young people accessing Kids Company's services • to assess the process of change through listening to young people reflecting on their experiences • to make a contribution to understanding how Kids Company interventions impact on the lives and issues facing young people • Methods • Qualitative longitudinal Interviewing (QLI) • Practice-near methods: • (Briggs and Froggett 2009; Froggett and Briggs 2012) Sample and data collection • Sample: • Young people (age 13-24 )were interviewed 3 times at 6 monthly intervals i.e. over a 12 month period • 29 young people at baseline, • 27 after 6 months and • 22 after (at least) 12 months • Data Collection • In depth qualitative interviews with young people • In depth interviews with 10 key workers • Case notes Data Analysis Narratives Profiles Case studies 22 participants interviewed at 6 monthly intervals Categories from interviews tabulated Structured accounts to illustrate journeys Focus on interactions/ Clustering by age group Initial assessment emotional qualities Backgrounds Issues at first interview Analysed using 'practice near' methods Outcomes assessed as both 'hard' and 'soft' categories Changes after 6 months Changes after 12 months Gains (positive outcomes) Current challenges Cluster Number of YPs completing the evaluation Number of YPs at baseline Under 16 4 4 16-19 5 7 19-22 7 9 22 and above 6 9 total 22 29 FINDINGS Background characteristics • Family backgrounds were traumatising through: • Abusive/neglecting/violent • Poverty/marginalisation • Disrupted/separated • Mental ill health • Substance abuse • criminality • Young people were • Marginalised • Enduring poverty • Educational failure • Mental and physical health problems • Engaged in risky/antisocial behaviours • Failed by societies support systems Baseline Characteristics "a grim picture was identified of the backgrounds and issues faced by these young people" • Cluster 1 (up to 16 years): • limited, neglectful and potentially abusing families impacting on development • Cluster 2 (16-19 years) • abusive and difficult family relationships precipitate young people to face these years outside their families • Clusters 3 and 4 (19-23/25 years) • These years are spent aiming to recover and repair earlier traumas and disadvantages whilst experiencing the challenges of young adulthood Their basic needs have not been met……. • Out of the 29 young people:• 17 had problems with sleeping • 13 had problems with eating • 25 had serious housing problem • of which 14 faced homelessness • 19 had involvement in crime and • 16 left school with no qualifications. 'Sometimes I want to kill myself when I'm in my flat' – no TV, no nothing'. "I was in a wave of crime, a wave of bullying, a wave of…..a lot of things which really made me an unhappy person. It's the trauma I experienced as a young person and stuff that I saw which made me go into that stuff". "I wasn't getting on well with my school work, I kept having problems understanding what to do" (participant, 12 years) "I smile all the time" Kids Company Interventions "the comprehensiveness of the provision, the volume of work and the teamwork involved are key features" • Addressing trauma therapeutically to bring about healing and repair… • at the practical level, direct provision of food • • • • • • • (meals in the centres), food vouchers, money for travel, paying rent; support for accommodation, furnishings, decorating ('Colour a Child's Life') advocacy and negotiation with housing, children's services, UKBA classes for GCSE's, bronze/silver/gold awards in dance, drama, art, photography, fashion activities for younger children in the centres mentoring and 'positive experiences' for school/college work, CVs, applications, work, apprenticeship applications, work placements physical fitness facilities camps and expeditions; shows therapies of various modalities and massage "I love my keyworker, she's great" Keyworkers "If you genuinely need someone to talk to there's someone here that will listen to you. No misconceptions, unlike other agencies. Unconditional attention, round the clock. There are no "empty promises" at Kids Company." "The people here to support us are doing a terrific job like we may not act like it, but we are grateful no matter how much we swear at you, no matter how much we cuss at you. It all comes from a loving place" Outcomes reduced risks to personal safety increased stability in practical living (housing, finance, legal status) being in education and achieving educationally and/or in employment improvements in mental well-being, including selfesteem, self- confidence and reduced mental ill health reduction or cessation of offending behaviours raised aspirations (and working towards putting these into practice) improved interpersonal and familial relationships Summary of Outcomes • All young people made gains in some areas, increasing • • • • • achievement and reducing adversities Most continue to face challenges Positive outcomes (gains) outweighed continuing challenges for 13/22 Additionally, the in-depth working continually addresses new challenges as they occur Prevention of some potentially negative outcomes is not captured directly (e.g. prevention of family breakdown, school exclusion etc) 'The Spiral of fluctuations' Challenges Setbacks Interventions Improvements 'It gives me pride to get (good grades at university). Is this really mine? I couldn't believe it'. "you get to be yourself and just have fun and join with loads of different activities and meet new people and just express yourself and have fun" (11 year old about Kenbury) "…now and again I've got myself into little predicaments because obviously there's still people around me….like a lot of my friends are still caught up in a lot of things so obviously I'm gonna be around certain situations. ……..Kids Company has just given me the knowledge to kind of see like you've got options, your choice if you wanna do it you do it, but you know there might be some unfortunate consequences" How do the interventions support better outcomes for young people? • The Kids Company relational/attachment/holistic approach: • Develops resilience to adversity • Provides social capital to assist the transition to adulthood • Supports investments in competences, aspirations and achievements Love + 'agency' = potential for change! "I decided I loved physical fitness more than I loved cannabis" Conclusions • The study used QLI methods to generate nuanced, • • • • • contextualised data about process and outcomes for a sample of kids This sample had extensive and serious experiences of abuse and deprivation in their childhood/adolescent years causing severe difficulties across all aspects of their development and functioning The holistic, 'wrap around' model of care fits the needs of these young people; the extent of their needs and the intensity of the input varies according to the extent of the prior deprivation and trauma All young people demonstrated improved outcomes (in 1 or more of the 6 key areas)l these are impressive for this sample The outcomes are subject to fluctuation rather than linear; setbacks generate new challenges The young people focussed on the relationships with Kids Company as central to their investments and improvements

- Sunday 5th May - 2pm - Islands of the World (Download Flyer)
- Sunday 1st September - 2pm - tba
- Sunday 8th December- 2pm - tba
Islands of the World: What could be better in May than dreaming of visiting an island paradise, somewhere far away from all the hustle and bustle of busy life. Our fascination with islands knows no bounds, maybe due to being the inhabitants of the worlds largest, or maybe just because they can look so darn inviting! Composers are likewise drawn to these fascinating landmasses, ranging from paradise on earth to inhospitable rocky desolation, and the peoples and cultures they support. Join us as we beach the good ship KGWO on a few to sample their unique musical flavours. BYO sand and sunscreen. Expect to be entertained!!
Parking: Please note that parking will be limited for this concert due to a wedding also being held at The Old Museum. Please consider parking at the Gregory Terrace - The Royal International Convention Centre Car Park (600 Gregory Terrace - see map) which costs $15 for all day parking on the weekends.
We are a community-based orchestra of more than 70 musicians. Our ages, professions, and cultural backgrounds vary, but what unites us is a joy of rehearsing and performing a wide range of music for the people of Brisbane and our city's many visitors. Each of our concerts presents a selection of works based around a theme.
The KGWO sound - brass, woodwind and percussion - is ideal for a variety of musical styles. We perform serious symphonic repertoire, light classical works, contemporary works, and popular pieces. Our goal is to present enjoyable, memorable concerts where the quality of performance, the breadth of music, and the affordability keeps audiences coming back. Our concerts are enjoyed by people of all ages.
Since 1997, KGWO has been the talk of the town thanks to its wide range of quality, entertaining concerts. As a Community Orchestra, we believe in engaging with the community and embracing the talents of our local aspiring artists. Our goal is to offer audiences a diverse variety of dazzling concerts at very affordable prices. Expect to be entertained!
KGWO – Celebrating 20+ Years!
2017 was KGWO's 20th Anniversary! From humble beginnings as an adult starter band, we have developed into a 70 piece advanced Wind orchestra. Each year we stage three very well attended concerts that showcase the depth of talent this community orchestra has developed over the years. Join us for a walk down memory lane with a look back in time at all our past concerts!
KGWO, arguably Brisbane's most successful community wind orchestra, celebrated their 20th anniversary with a sold out performance at The Old Museum on Sunday 10 December 2017. With special guests Julie Lea Goodwin (Principle Soprano at the Australian Opera) and Alex Raineri (renowned pianist) joining then for one performance only, this was a highlight concert for this dynamic local orchestra.
The 450 seat capacity concert hall at The Old Museum sold out early, a testament to the strong and loyal patrons base the orchestra has established. "Usually at this time we would invite Brisbane's music lovers to join us on the day," observed KGWO president Denis Madigan "but we have run out of seats! We do though warmly welcome everyone to join us for our first concert next year which will be themed around sport, to tie in with the Commonwealth Games next year."
KGWO's Musical Director, Dale Hubbard, believes that KGWO's focus on putting on the most entertaining concerts possible remains a key element in the orchestra's success, along with a very dedicated committee and army of volunteer helpers, and a strategic approach to selecting repertoire. "We have created a very unique product, a first class community ensemble."
The orchestra's web site (kgwo.org.au) has a complete history of all past concerts, including downloadable programs, if you want to learn more about the orchestra's road to success.

This card is so bright and happy! Love it!So glad that you join the fun over Simon Says Stamp Wednesday "Splatter It" Challenge! Awesome details and design! Super work!
Simon Says Stamp – Artsy Fruits Again
Remember back when I posted this card? I told you that I had made another card with the piece left from my ink-blended piece. This is that card. I decided to post it because Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge is Splatter It (and also their Flickr challenge), and it's perfect. Lookie:
GOJUS!!! I loved the citrus image because it really functions as just a fun motif and the colors I had used on the last card were really reminiscent of the fruit slices you can buy at candy stores, still one of my faves, ever since *I* used to work at Fanny Farmer Candy. Yeah, all the candy I cared to eat during working hours (they encouraged it!) Their theory was you'd eat so much you'd get tired of it. But I never ever got tired of dark chocolate and caramel. Ever. Never ever. Anyway…I stamped the citrus image in all the different colors on my background. And I got a little smudge on it! Which led me to grab my Tim Holtz Distress Spritzer and my SU! markers and spritz that sucker up! And I liked it better! Happy accident!
I decided to add some interest to the ink blended piece by grabbing a die I've had for a while from My Favorite Things called Stitched Strip. It comes with little accent dies you can cut and place on the stitching lines so I decided to use some glitter cardstock with the little circle die for that.
I used a new set from Simon called Big Greetings 1 to do this piece on Bermuda Bay card stock, embossing it with white embossing powder and then coloring in the letters with my favorite Sakura Stardust pen. I used the Stitched Scallop dies from Simon to cut the edges of the strip and added of few of my glitter dots to accent that as well.
It's so happy!
Below is my list of products that I used, and I have used compensated affiliate links where they were available, as I now participate in affiliate programs for Simon Says Stamp, Amazon, Ellen Hutson LLC, Scrapbook.com, Gina K, Sizzix, and Blick Art Supplies. Stampin' Up! links lead to my BFF Wendy Weixler's store, whose friendship is something I highly value, and I'm always happy to throw business her way. She does not reimburse me for doing so. If you have your own demo, you can of course change over to them. Buying through these links costs you nothing extra and helps support my blog and my artistic endeavors, and I thank you.
Enjoy! Ta!

Oscar nominations: Who's been hottest so far this awards season?
LIVE COVERAGE: 84th Annual Academy Award nominations
Oscar nominations will be unveiled today shortly after 5:30 a.m. PST. So what films, directors and actors have the most momentum going into the big dance at the Academy Awards? The Los Angeles Times' Heatmeter system, using statistical analysis of a bevy of awards and nominations to date, sizes up the race. Check out each race by category at heatmeter.latimes.com, using the drop-down menus at the top of the page.
"The Artist" took home top laurels from the Producers Guild of America on Saturday night, and now leads in the overall Heatmeter scoring in the best picture category. "The Descendants" is second.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this year is adopting a new system for the best picture race –- there may be anywhere between five and 10 best picture contenders -– but, according to our tabulations, only "The Descendants" still has a shot to overtake "The Artist for the Heatmeter's overall best picture score.
HEATMETER: Who's too hot to stop this awards season?
In the best actor category, George Clooney looks like a lock for his role in "The Descendants." Hot on his trail are Brad Pitt ("Moneyball"), Jean Dujardin ("The Artist"), Michael Fassbender ("Shame") and Leonardo DiCaprio ("J. Edgar"). Ryan Gosling ("Drive") and Michael Shannon ("Take Shelter") look like long-shots.
As for best actress, the Heatmeter puts Meryl Streep on top for her turn as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady." She's got more than twice the points of Michelle Williams ("My Week With Marilyn"). In a surprising third place is South Korean actress Yun Jung-Hee, whose performance in "Poetry" earned her numerous critics awards. Viola Davis ("The Help") is fourth, and tied for fifth place are Tilda Swinton for "We Need to Talk About Kevin" and Glenn Close for "Albert Nobbs." Though Yun has far more points than Davis, Swinton and Close, it will still be a surprise if the academy gives the South Korean a nomination, given that "Poetry" has probably been seen by far fewer voters.
In the best director category, Martin Scorsese is in the lead for his 3-D children's movie "Hugo," followed closely by "The Artist's" Michel Hazanavicius, Terrence Malick for "The Tree of Life," Alexander Payne for "The Descendants" and Woody Allen for "Midnight in Paris." Clooney ("The Ides of March") and David Fincher ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") go into the noms as underdogs.
In some categories, such as documentaries and foreign film, the academy has already released shortlists of prospective nominees that exclude films with the most heat on the meter. For example, in the documentary race, the Heatmeter shows Werner Herzog's "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" and "Senna" as contenders, yet the documentary branch has already ruled them out of the race. In the foreign film category, China's "City of Life and Death" and Angelina Jolie's Balkans war drama "In the Land of Blood and Honey" are among films that came into the Oscar nominations with heat but have been excluded from contention by the academy's foreign-film committee.
Have fun checking all the categories. We'll update the Heatmeter shortly after nominations, so you can see which movies, actors and filmmakers have the best shot at taking home a trophy on Feb. 26, when the Academy Awards are handed out at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

See, what people need to understand is that we need fresh blood in the White House, Obama has a long history of grassroots organizing, leadership and service and Michelle Obama will be the best first lady ever!
I took a blind voter's poll solely based on the issues I believe in and, as it turns out, Barack Obama and John Edwards are my top two candidates. I am also more than mindful that Barack announced his candidacy and began his campaign in 'post-Katrina' and 'Hurricane Bush' New Orleans.
Merry Christmas and Barack the Vote!

Cape Town is a city that thrives on tourism and it has had its fair share of bad press when it comes to transport with the recent Dewani murder case in 2010. But transport in Cape Town is generally safe and since the FIFA World Cup of 2010 there have been some significant improvements to the transport infrastructure of the city. But what forms of transport are there that are safe?
Mini Bus Taxis
The mini bus taxis that honk and race their way through the Cape Town Traffic have become almost a standing joke in the City. The majority of these taxis and their drivers are safe and they form a key cog in the public transport wheel for Cape Town. Affordable and generally reliable a journey on a minibus taxi is very much a bucket list item for anyone visiting Cape Town. Common sense should always prevail, if the taxi looks unsafe, if something just doesn't seem right or look right then don't use it.
Metred Taxis
Metred Taxis that today include Cape Town's own Rikkis Taxis are popular with tourists. Again common sense prevails when booking and using a cab, Rikkis taxis are easily identifiable whilst others are less so, if the taxi looks unsafe then caution it and don't use. Rikkis also has the in and around town shuttle, small half load Suzuki vehicles where rides are shared making them an affordable, fun and reliable form of transport for the tourist.
Uber Cabs
Uber has taken off in Cape Town. Uber cabs in Cape Town are safe, reliable and very affordable and are available in most suburbs. Cape Town has embraced Uber cabs so much so that Uber drivers in the city are now being offered plans to purchase better, safer and more reliable vehicles. Like Uber all over the world, the Cape Town Uber Cab service is a tried and tested transport service.
Golden Arrow Buses
For over a century Golden Arrow has provided the bus service for Cape Town. From the early days of horse drawn carriages Golden Arrow has been "The Bus for Us†in the City and the company has an extensive route network that allows for a person to be transported almost anywhere within a wide area. A recent upgrade and purchase of new buses has given Golden Arrow a new lease of life and like the minibus taxis the Golden Arrow buses are a vital part of Cape Town's Transport infrastructure.
Trains have been part of transport in Cape Town for well over 100 years. The rail network is not the most reliable in the world and the routes are a little limited. In recent years upgrades to the network have begun with new trains and roiling stock but still the trains are not something favoured by tourists. In a few years' time things will have improved.
The Red Bus
The Red Bus is not really a public transport system but is a transport solution dedicated to tourists. With three routes Red, Blue and Yellow the City Sightseeing bus is the ideal way to explore the city and surrounds. The hop on hop off system allows tourists to plan their day and visit places of interest at their leisure on comfortable air-conditioned and open top buses.
Perhaps the most exciting transport development in Cape Town has been the introduction of the MyCiti Bus service. This sophisticated integrated rapid transport system is expanding fast in and around Cape Town. With a dedicated airport shuttle service, MyCiti is the most reliable, safe and affordable way to get to and from the airport and the interconnected buses from the central Cape Town terminus can take many visitors to within a hundred metres of so of their hotel. The MyCiti bus is affordable and is a reliable way to explore Cape Town and get to know people and the city.
Overall Cape Town has superb public transport for tourists and with the recent announcement of more direct flights to the city, from Europe, USA and Africa the transport system looks set to improve.

My name is Víctor Caveda and I love everything about technology. I dedicate my life to create software …. and I really love doing it.
I hold a Master's degree in Computing Sciencie from University of Oviedo in 2003 (dissertation stillpending). While I was studying I worked for Zitron S.A., a civil engineering company located in Gijón. It was around two years working as Visual Basic developer (great memories!).
Currently, I'm working as Software Architect at Panda Security. I joined Panda in June of 2003 and, for the first 5 years, I was mainly working as C/C++ developer on networking projects (including mail protection and a desktop firewall from the scratch). More than nine years in an antivirus company have given me a strong background in computer security, particularly in network security. Actually, I hold a GAWN (Wireless Networks Auditor) certification by SANS Institute. Right now I'm part of the development team of Panda Cloud Antivirus.
Besides that, in my spare time, I worked for a while on the .NET universe (hold a MCP). But a couple of years ago I dove headfirst into the Android world. Actually I've co-founded Quoders Mobile, an independent development studio specialized in mobile technologies. Check out our apps and let me know what you think.

SAE 2 Pin Assemblies Manufactured in the USA !!!
by sae2pinray on Feb.09, 2012, under USA #1
Our own SAE 2 Pin assemblies are manufactured right here in the USA. The quality is indicative of American workmanship. Each and every piece is visually inspected in an effort to assure the highest level of quality is maintained.
We make other manufacturer's products available, as well – some of which may have been produced outside of the USA. These are quality products, as well, meeting the necessary form, fit, and function requirements of their intended use. The companies that manufacture these products (or contract for their manufacture), conduct quality control inspections of these products and stand behind them.
There are also the mass produced SAE 2 Pin connector assemblies available on the market (generally found in discount automotive stores). Having handled thousands of these light duty SAE 2 Pin assemblies produced outside of the USA, we have become accustomed to seeing a significant number of what we call "blems". These "blemished" assemblies generally have a visual defect, cosmetic in nature. For example, a very small (sometimes almost indiscernible) void in the molded plastic of the connector body which exposes a minute amount of insulation. Again, these are cosmetic in nature, and do not negatively impact the form, fit, and function of the connector – they can still carry out their intended function in a perfectly safe manner. If you were to buy a number of these individually packaged SAE 2 Pin assemblies, you would likely come upon a "blem" or two.
Our position is one based in perceiving a world of plenty. There exists an opportunity for any manufacturer to bring their products to the global marketplace. The world will be the judge of the viability of those products – based on their quality, price, and availability.
As American Citizens, and as a U.S. Citizen-owned companies – We are committed to putting America 1st. Manufacturing in America 1st, and obtaining supplies and services here in America 1st. That's conscientiously doing Our part as American Citizens to keep America 1st by giving Americans the opportunity to produce 1st. It is up to each and every one of US, as American Citizens, to see to it We are competitive in the Global Marketplace. When we're not, the sales and the supporting production will go to those who are – that's inherant in the "free" marketplace.

We invite you to visit www.bohemianbiker.com for additional information – you'll find a blog format there too!

I don't know how I'd missed this, but Dr. Brian Goldman of CBC's White Coat Black Art did a TEDx talk last year, and it's wonderful. It's called: "Doctors make mistakes, can we talk about that?" (The video is at the bottom of this post if you'd like to watch it in its entirety.)
On my health pilgrimage, and as part of working on my zine, I've been tracing back through my medical history, trying to connect dots between all the possible factors that got me into this state of less-than-ideal health. I've been researching root causes of various symptoms and ailments, and how they're all intertwined. I've been thinking back to all the various extremely traumatizing interactions I've had with healthcare practitioners over the years.
One thing is crystal clear: doctors make mistakes. And some of the really good ones are starting to admit it.
I've been meaning to write this post for ages, to tell you all about another one of my little TMI secrets... I have tricky gums!
By tricky I don't mean they are sneaking around setting up practical jokes, I mean my gums are temperamental and hard to keep happy. If I don't floss enough, they get all inflamed and bleedy. And for years and years, if I didn't use Colgate Total (ie. a toothpaste containing triclosan) on a daily basis, they got all inflamed and bleedy. So I used it for probably 20 years.
Ok, so I keep hearing people talking about "ease" and moving towards doing what comes with more "ease". The work I was doing before was mostly things that I felt came pretty naturally to me (being organized, mediating between different stakeholders, writing emails, planning), but work didn't feel full of "ease" by any means.
Socializing didn't feel easy. Taking care of myself didn't feel easy. Even when I left my job in the spring, NOTHING felt easy.
Resting didn't feel easy, thinking about what I wanted to do with my life didn't feel easy, I felt fucking stressed and anxious all the time, in between trips and visitors all through the summer. I tried to go take art classes, and that all fell apart quickly. I did creative projects at home. I floundered. And then a couple weeks ago, it suddenly hit me.
I'm embarking on a health pilgrimmage. More on this later...maybe. I've also been working on my first zine, Chronically Yours, about living with chronic illness, so I've been doing a lot of reading and research about coping and support for chronic illnesses and chronic pain. I've found some really wonderful resources and readings, and some of them deserve full posts but for now I wanted to take a moment to share some of my favourites with you.
#8 on my Life to-do list: Make a zine. Check!
You heard me right. After wanting to make a zine since my teen years, and never getting up the guts to fully write and publish one, I've done it!
Issue #1 of Chronically Yours is up for sale in my new Etsy shop as of this morning!
As I mentioned, one of the things I've been focused on this summer is self-care. Health (mental and physical), habits, diet, exercise, you name it I'm working on it.
I've been reading, journaling, and experimenting with what helps me feel better - trying things that are out of my comfort zone, and even outside of my belief system. Who knew real rest - not just resting because I'm already sick and worn out - was one of these.
I blame Jeff Rogers, Bon Iver, and a couple of inspiring friends (ie. my fitness idols) for what happened after work today: I exercised.
Not just my occasional yoga routine, or slow lane puttering in the pool. I did a workout. I did a workout DVD. I did a workout DVD with Bon Iver. It involved squats, weights, and cardio, and some heavy breathing. Things that I haven't done in a long while.
From Huff Post:
After all the great feedback on the previous post on Burnout, and Randy Fay's excellent talk (video included) and blog posts.
A few things that I can say for sure:
Randy Fay is doing a session at DrupalCon on Burnout:
We have an incredible group of people who invest deeply in our common project. Some significant portion of this group is near burnout at any given time, and we've lost important contributors, some famously, as a result of this.
The more general problem is: How can we help our contributors to manage their work so they don't get so close to burnout? How can we help people find (or regain) balance while dealing with the technical and social problems of contributing to our great project?
Proposed solution:
- Begin a concentrated initiative to grow and keep our contributors, and to keep them happy.
- Make this a goal a key project responsibility.
He just posted a blog post, on defining burnout and signs of it, this week as well.
(Note: Some of this first half will be redundant if you're a regular reader.) Somewhere in the midst of being cooped up at home sick for weeks on end this spring, something in me clicked. I stopped caring about not being able to do it all. I don't know if it's so much giving in, or self preservation, or just not needing to beat myself up for things I can't change. Maybe it was survival instinct, or maybe it was being forced to accept the reality of my energy and wellness levels. I'm sure a question my counselor asked me a while back got this all circulating in the back of my mind: "What would happen if you didn't do everything that you want, what then?" My answer at the time: "I feel like if I had to give up doing all these things, that I would cease to exist."

Buying Quality Thread
The thread you choose for any sewing project should be similar in fiber content to that of your fabric. cotton, polyester and cotton/poly threads are the most widely used.
If your fabric has a pattern, choose a color thread that matches the most dominant color in your design. If you are unable to find a perfect match, select a thread that is one or two shades darker. Stitches made with a lighter shade of thread will stand out more.
Use cotton thread for light to medium-weight fabrics that have little or no stretch to them. Cotton thread will not "give," and the stitches may break if used on a stretchy knit fabric.
Use polyester thread for most hand and machine stitching. This thread is most suitable for synthetic fabrics or fabrics with a lot of stretch to them. The finish of this thread, however, can appear waxy or shiny.
Use a cotton-wrapped polyester thread for most sewing projects. This thread is usually labeled "all-purpose" and is the thread you will see most frequently in fabric stores. It is suitable for all types of fabrics and for both hand and machine sewing. Keep in mind the quality of what you buy. Find a brand you like, and stick with it.
Use fine cotton or silk thread on very thin or delicately woven fabrics such as those used for lingerie or sheer garments. Silk thread is more elastic than cotton, so opt for silk if your garment fabric has any stretch to it at all.
Look for thread labeled "heavy duty" for projects that require extra strength and durability in stitches. For example, an upholstery project that uses very heavy or stiff fabric will require heavy-duty thread. Some apparel items made with a similar type of fabric will also require this thread.
Use metallic thread for both machine and hand embroidery. Make sure, however, that the thread you use for machine embroidery is labeled suitable for machine sewing.
Use quilting thread for your hand or machine quilting projects and for projects that are similarly layered. Most quilting thread is all-cotton and has a finish that allows the thread to slip more easily through the fabric and batting layers.
- Refer to your sewing pattern for any special thread recommendations.
- Most all-purpose threads are about a size 50 weight. In thread sizing, this is medium-weight. The higher the number, the finer the thread.
- Purchase all-purpose thread in large cones for use with your serger.

Ha, ha, ha! My books totally admire your husband's wet/dry vac. We covet its shiny newness 'cause our shop vac is covered in German Shepherd fur and our new floor vacuum got its roller all clogged up with Daughter #2's hip length hair and bits of chewed-up rope from the dog's toy.ReplyDelete
