The data communication team has this week done an overhaul of the whole CBPS PABX (Private Automatic Branch Exchange) communication. This is an effort to increase efficiency in the telephone communication, and upgrade of the telecommunications to a much newer technology, reduce noise and increase in customer handling capacity.
PABX is an automatic telephone switching system which allows and controls the sharing of different phone lines between different communication devices
PABX (Private Automatic Branch Exchange) is mostly used in companies with lots of staff. This system of communication has a single access number with multiple lines which controls all incoming and outgoing calls; connect outside callers with inside extension lines and internal extensions with each other.
PABX is the improved version of PBX (Private Branch Exchange).

What Does An IP Address Look Like?
There are 2 versions of IP address in use today, IPv4 which has been in use since the early 80s, and IPv6 which is due to replace the current IPv4 system in the near future due to the lack of IPv4 addresses available.
What Does An IPv4 Address Look Like?
Here is an example of a typical IPv4 address: 18.104.22.168
The IPv4 address is grouped into 4 seperate decimal numbers, seperated by dots rangeing from 0 - 255
IPv4 Addresses are oganised into 5 different classes as below.
Class A: 184.108.40.206 - 127.255.255.255
Class B: 22.214.171.124 - 184.108.40.206
Class C: 192.0.0.0 - 126.96.36.199
Class D: 126.96.36.199 - 18.104.22.168
Class E: 240.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255
Classes A - C are used for general IP communication between computers and routers, whilst classes D and E are reserved for multicasting and experimental purposes.
What Does An IPv6 Address Look Like?
Here is an example of an IPv6 Address: 2001:CDBA:0000:0000:14AF:0000:0412:00BB
The IPv6 address is arranged into 8 seperate groups, consisting of 4 hexadecimal digits seperated by a colon. As hexademical is a base-16 number, each digit ranges from 0 - 9 and A - F.
As you can see the above IPv6 address is alot longer than the IPv4 address and more difficult to remember.
However, the engineers who developed the IPv6 system came up with a couple of rules that can make the IPv6 address shorter by eliminating zeros.
The first rule states you can use "::" to remove one or more groups of concsecutive zeros (0000)
But this can only be used once per IPv6 address.
If we use the example of: 2001:CDBA:0000:0000:14AF:0000:0412:00BB
This shortened address can become: 2001:CDBA::14AF:0000:0412:00BB or 2001:CDBA:0000:0000:14AF::0412:00BB
The second rules states you can eliminate leading zeros in a group until the group starts with a digit other than a zero, or if the final digit in a group is a zero. This can be used as many times as you like in an IPv6 address, you can also combine this with the first rule.
Let us take the same example: 2001:CDBA:0000:0000:14AF:0000:0412:00BB
Using the second rule, the IPv6 address can become: 2001:CDBA:0:0:14AF:0:412:BB
Using the first and second rules: 2001:CDBA::14AF:0:412:BB
All of a sudden, the IPv6 address becomes alot easier to digest.

A.Word.A.Day--ultima thule
ultima Thule (UL-tuh-muh THOO-lee) noun
1. The northernmost part of the world believed habitable by the ancients.
2. A distant or remote goal or place.
[Latin ultima, farthest, Thule, name of a place.]
"Opportunities? In culture's Ultima Thule? Absolutely, both Clink and Egan affirm." Mike Dunham, Growing Talent Pool Figures in 'Requiem', The Daily News (Anchorage, Alaska), Apr 9, 1999.
"It is much too early, say the experts, to presume Samurai's exile to ultima Thule wherein rust those firecracker Ford Pintos, runaway Audi 5000s and Ralph Nader's Corvairs that were unsafe at any speed." Paul Dean, Safety and the Samurai: Fans Don't Mind a Few Bumps, The Los Angeles Times, Jun 9, 1988.
Known to the ancients as the northern-most region of the habitable world, Thule had been variously identified as one of the Shetland islands, Norway, or Iceland. Today's Thule is in northwest Greenland, within the Arctic Circle.
Incidentally, the name Greenland is ironic, as more than four-fifths of the land is ice-capped. The palindromically named village of Qaanaaq, in the district of Thule, has the distinction of being the northern-most naturally inhabited place on earth.
At least one linguaphile lives in Greenland (with email address ending in gl, the domain code for Greenland), but we don't know if there's one in Thule.
During the rest of this week, we'll look at other words that take their names from faraway places in both fact and fiction. -Anu
Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort. -Charles Dickens, novelist (1812-1870)

Olathe Republican sues over redistricting
A Republican precinct committee member from Olathe filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court over the Kansas Legislature's failure so far to redraw the state's political boundaries.
The committee member, Robyn Renee Essex, suggested federal judges could impose new maps similar to ones favored by GOP conservatives.
Essex argues in the lawsuit that the state's existing political boundaries violate her constitutional rights because they haven't been adjusted yet to account for population changes in the past decade.
Essex is a Republican precinct committeewoman for the 1st Ward, 9th Precinct in Olathe. Her husband, Steve Essex, is the precinct committeeman. One of Essex's attorneys, Brent Haden, of Columbia, Mo., is a former chief of staff to Kansas House Speaker Mike O'Neal, a Hutchinson Republican.
Democrats and moderate Republican legislators said the lawsuit was premature, given lawmakers still are working in Topeka. They also questioned the motives.
"The fact that the speaker's former chief of staff is the plaintiff's attorney certainly leads to a great deal of speculation that this is an orchestrated effort that may have the implicit support of the governor and the speaker," said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat.
Messages left by The Associated Press seeking comment from Essex were not immediately returned. Haden, meanwhile, insisted Essex was his client and no others were involved with the lawsuit.
"I represent Robyn Essex, private citizen, who lives in a district that is unconstitutionally big," Haden said.
The lawsuit names Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the state's chief elections officer, as the defendant. Legislators have been told by Kobach and others that the maps need to be completed by May 11 and sent to the courts for approval to avoid delaying the June filing deadline and Aug. 7 primary.
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback hadn't seen the lawsuit, but he said it was late in the session for legislators to be finishing the maps without affecting the primary.
"I hope we can still get it done in that fashion instead of going through court," he said.
In the lawsuit, Essex expressed doubt that legislators will be able to break a stalemate on redistricting. She suggests one option would be for a panel of three federal judges to set new legislative and congressional districts. Essex submitted maps for Senate and congressional districts for the court to implement, including a variation of one the House redistricting committee will consider today. O'Neal is chairman of that committee.
O'Neal said Thursday that he wasn't aware of the lawsuit or who was involved before its filing.
"We knew that there were people looking at doing something," he said.
Senate Vice President John Vratil, a Leawood Republican and attorney, said the mechanics of filing a lawsuit suggest it had been planned for several weeks.
"I think it is a piece of their planned strategy all along. You don't just draft and file a lawsuit like that on the spur of the moment," Vratil said.

In the midst of our bountiful October harvest of Trump grotesqueries, the Russians and Julian Assange organized a WikiLeaks dump of private emails from the Clinton campaign. These revealed a shocking and scandalous fact about the former Secretary of State: she is a politician. Indeed, the documents represent one of the most reassuring moments of this calamitous campaign. The overwhelming impression is of the candidate's and her staff's competence and sanity--and something more: a refreshing sense of reality about the vagaries of politics.
The headline revelation came from one of Clinton's paid speeches. Clinton said it was necessary for politicians to have a "public and private position" on many issues. Gotcha! And even though Clinton had difficulty defending herself on this in the second debate, she's absolutely right. In one of his rare moments of candor earlier this year, Donald Trump agreed. He said his ludicrous tax-cut plan was an opening position that would be compromised--he might even back higher taxes--when negotiations began with Congress. This was deemed disastrous by conservative ideologues, and Trump quickly retreated from it. But he was, momentarily, speaking the truth.
Here's how Clinton put it in that 2013 speech, and be prepared, I'm going to quote her at length: "Politics is like sausage being made. It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody's watching ... all of the backroom discussions and the deals ... then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position. And finally, I think--I believe in evidence-based decisionmaking. I want to know what the facts are." Clinton is speaking an essential, uncontroversial truth about how things work in a democracy. And yet, for much of the public--and too much of our media--her sentiments are perceived as shifty, further evidence that she can't be trusted, as if a willingness to compromise were a sign of weakness, not a necessary strength.
As for the rest of the emails, there are the occasional screw-ups and embarrassing moments of candor, but--as with the WikiLeaks dump of the State Department's diplomatic cables--the most striking thing about them is the careful, intelligent way in which the Clinton staff goes about the business of politics. There is substantive consternation about how to deal with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on Wall Street, a careful massaging of where to come down on Warren's proposal for a new Glass-Steagall law to regulate banking. Clinton and her advisers believe that Sanders is being too simplistic, that they have an equally tough but more nuanced position--as indeed they did--and they worry about how to communicate that difference. Watching the deliberations unfold, I found myself thinking, Boy, Assange has done a public service. It's good to know how policy develops in a political campaign.
Another so-called embarrassment is the contretemps between Chelsea Clinton and her father's former top aide, Doug Band, who writes that she's acting like a "spoiled brat." Band left the Clinton fold and formed a private "consulting" firm called Teneo Holdings. Bill Clinton agreed to be a member of its advisory board, a very questionable position for a former President to take. Chelsea finds out in England that at least one Teneo employee is lobbying Members of Parliament "on behalf of President Clinton" to take positions favorable to Teneo clients "without my father's knowledge ... which would horrify my father." Bill Clinton soon cuts off his relationship with Band, a wise move. (Too bad Chelsea wasn't vetting the recently revealed, too-close-for-comfort emails between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation after the Haiti earthquake.)
Some on the left will find Clinton's attempts to flatter and find common ground with her Wall Street audiences offensive--her willingness to take money for these speeches was a big mistake--but if you look at the content of the talks, Clinton is essentially warning the bankers about the public's belief that they have behaved badly, while calling for more "transparency" and reform, a message her audiences may not have wanted to hear.
Here's a final outrage: Clinton told executives at Xerox that she wanted a "moderate" Democratic Party. Indeed, she wanted "two sensible, moderate, pragmatic political parties." Wow. How crazy is that?

Use of liver grafts from older donors presents similar survival outcomes as grafts from younger donor age. Therefore, it offers a viable option to expand the donor pool and increase number of OLTs.
However, there is higher incidence of retransplantation due to primary graft non-function, and longer hospital length of stay observed in the older donor age group.
Further studies using larger patient populations are needed to validate our results.

Hi everyone! February is the month of all things sweet. It doesnt have to be all about romantic relationship.
I'll be reviewing a sweet scented product from LUSH, the Red Fun! I got this in Santa's Belly gift set last month. It'll be expired this April so I have to use it all up. It's a part of Christmas gift set but its scent is so sweet that I think it's a Valentines item.
When those pesky grey clouds begin to roll in, seek refuge with this sunny sudser. Our bright and cheery Red FUN brings sunshine to your tub. We add a perky dose of orange and mandarin oils to each batch. Just one whiff and you'll be traveling through a sunny mandarin grove! For best results we suggest lathering a piece up in your loofah for a quick pick me up in the shower, or crumble into bath water for an extended orangey soak. Whether you use this at sunrise or sunset your mood will surely be brighter.
Talc, Cornflour (Zea mays), Glycerine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Orange Oil, Mandarin Oil (Citrus nobilis), *Limonene, Fragrance
-Affordable, Php 245 ($3)
-fruity scent
-Lathers quickly
-Little goes a long way
-Multifunctional; modeling clay, body soap, shampoo and bubble bar
-Doesnt leave a stain on the body
-Great for kids and kids at heart
-I enjoyed molding it into shapes, like I was in elementary again, seriously
-Can be drying
-Has Sodium Laureth Sulfate
The bubbles! Sorry if you have fear of holes. I forgot what it's called. I had to post it too so others have an idea.
Here are some samples of my Fun artwork. Please dont judge me. Hahaha. The first pic was supposed to be a pink snowman…. But it came out looking more like a penguin. I didnt create stick arms.😅❄
It says in the description that it can also be used on clothes. I wouldnt recommend that especially for anything white. Just to avoid stains.😋
I used it as my body soap. I lather it on my hands first. I like it's smell in the morning. It wakes me up and boosts my mood. This one's really nice for kids. Kids can mold it while in the bath. It's really called Fun for a reason. You can use it for bubble baths as well. 245 pesos for this weird soap in a clay form? I think it's a good deal.

Using the time-tested 7 Steps to Building Your Own Conspiracy Theory, here's an alternative explanation for the sinking of the Titanic.*
The RMS Titanic sank at 2 a.m. on April 15, 1912, after allegedly hitting an iceberg on 4/14. The governments of the United States and Great Britain have officially closed their investigations into the sinking of the Titanic, but many questions remain unanswered…
- Metal is harder than ice. Try hitting an ice cube with a hammer if you don't believe me.
- The Titanic sank in 1912. The Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
- Credible experts have shown that the angular cuts in the hull of the Titanic could only have come from THERMITE.
- If ice was stronger than metal, they would make boats out of it.
- The Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable — SO HOW DID IT SINK?
- Over 60% of the German gold was never recovered.
- According to Infowars.com, no Jews boarded the Titanic — were they tipped off by Mossad? Did President Taft and Israeli intelligence have foreknowledge?
- A bowl of ice will melt way faster than a bowl of metal at room temperature.
- Despite the fact she was the most advanced luxury cruise liner in the world, Titanic sailed on her maiden voywage with only half her capacity of 2,435 passengers. Coincidence?
- RMS Caronia, RMS Baltic, SS Amerika, and SS Californian all sent Titanic repeated warnings about icebergs in the area, but she continued on at FULL SPEED in the middle of the night.
- Only 20 lifeboats were available for over 2,000 people!
- Ice floats… so how did it supposedly break open Titanic's steel hull UNDERWATER?
- The German ship SS Amerika, which was in the area of the Titanic's sinking, was later seized by the US Navy in World War I. COINCIDENCE?
- Standard procedure is to blow up icebergs, so why did Vice President James S. Sherman order the US Navy to "stand down" on 4/14?
- PrisonPlanet.com reports that Captain William Murdoch and First Mate Edward Smith were seen ALIVE, living in Malaysia in 1914.
- Eyewitnesses reported hearing loud explosions BEFORE the Titanic supposedly hit the iceberg.
- No video of the Titanic's sinking has ever been released to the public.
- The founder of the Federal Reserve System built the Titanic and canceled his trip at the last second, after inviting all the critics of a central bank on its first cruise… COINCIDENCE??!?!?!11!!!
- The iceberg has never been found.
- This picture:
- Leonardo DiCaprio drowns, even though that piece of wreckage was TOTALLY big enough for two people!
(Yes, it's a joke. Please god, don't take it seriously.)

New research suggests that a woman's level of physical activity is a better sign than body weight of existing coronary artery disease and future heart problems. The study, which appeared in the September 8 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (2004; 292 [10], 1179–87), examined 906 women who had chest pain, suspected narrowing of the coronary arteries, or both. Researchers calculated each woman's body mass index (BMI), and patients were categorized as normal weight, overweight or obese. In addition, the women answered a questionnaire that assessed their physical activity levels and abilities.
In all, 76% of the participants were classified as overweight and 41% of those as obese. Low physical activity levels were reported by 70% of the women. The researchers detected no difference in the presence or severity of disease for women in different weight categories. However, a significant association emerged between low physical activity level and the existence of obstructive coronary artery disease.
Researchers concluded that low physical activity was a good indicator of future heart problems. Women who were at least moderately active had a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular events than women with a low physical activity level, no matter which weight category they were in.

Early College High School, Costa Mesa, graduate Ruben Morales, 20, was one of several fire Explorers to get their hands a little dirty on Wednesday during a training session at Costa Mesa Fire Station 4 on Placentia Avenue.
The Orange County Explorers, including several from the Costa Mesa post, learned how to use a jackhammer, move heavy objects, rescue someone and rappel down a five-story building during the one-day session.
"It was pretty brutal," Saxon Lyons, 17, of Lake Forest said of using the jackhammer. "It was pretty heavy."
Still, Saxon enjoyed the training, especially how to use heavy tools, which he said is useful if a building collapses or an earthquake occurs.
On Tuesday the Explorers visited the Orange County Great Park to learn about fighting wildfires, said Orange County Fire Authority Division Chief Michael Moore. In light of the recent loss of 19 firefighters with the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew, the Explorers focused on having escape zones, proper lookouts and fire shelters, Moore said.
Josh Martinez, 20, of Santa Ana said he appreciated the real-world training.
"It's definitely a great experience to use tools you read about in books," he said.
As part of the five-day training program, Explorers will next learn how to extract victims from vehicles. On Saturday they are scheduled to graduate from the program at a ceremony at Vanguard University, according to Exploring Director Lane Calvert.
The Costa Mesa Fire Explorer Post is open to Orange County residents 16 to 21 years old who have a minimum of a 2.0 GPA.
For Morales, the experience gave him new insight into his career plans. Initially interested in law enforcement, he is now considering marrying his interests in that and fire service by becoming an arson investigator.
The same held true for Savannah Grant, 20, of Mission Viejo, who hopes to connect her interests in nursing and firefighting by becoming a paramedic.
"I enjoy it," Grant said of the Explorer program. "I like the competition."

I love the "working out loud" approach. It's highly social, which now, after years of personal work, runs through me like a stick of rock. In that (ongoing) personal journey, I have learnt not only the benefits and indescribable joys (and sometimes, the excruciating pain) of joining the rest of the human race, but also… Continue reading A "working out loud" credo

Counter-acting the Stockholm Syndrome
Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages display empathy and sympathy for their captors, often developing positive feelings towards them and defending them. I'm often fascinated by how people, when they walk through the door of their workplaces, adopt behaviours akin to the symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome. Despite knowing in our hearts and… Continue reading Counter-acting the Stockholm Syndrome
Leadership is an inside job
So the world didn't end on December 21, surprise, surprise. Here we are in 2013, all systems still intact. I have heard some speak of the Mayan December 21 end-of-all-things-prediction not so much an end of the world, but more of an end of one cycle and the beginning of another. An end of things-as-they-were.… Continue reading Leadership is an inside job

When the revolution comes to leader development
I recently saw an #occupy placard which read, "I can't believe we still have to protest this s**t."

Can you teach a leader to be visionary?
I've recently been taking part in a really interesting thread on LinkedIn about visionary leaders. The question is "Is visionary leadership teachable? Can you teach a leader how to see the bigger picture?" I bang on about how everything is learnable, everyone is teachable…blah, blah, blah. I do actually believe this is absolutely true. In… Continue reading Can you teach a leader to be visionary?

John Cranko (1927–1973) was a celebrated choreographer of the mid-20th century who is credited with making Stuttgart Ballet one of the finest classical troupes in Europe. Born in South Africa, he trained with Cape Town Ballet School and created his first work, The Soldier's Tale, for Cape Town Ballet Club in 1945. That same year he moved to London and began training at Sadler's Wells School and soon joined Sadler's Wells Theatre Ballet, the precursor of The Royal Ballet. Within just four years, Cranko was named the company's resident choreographer. He was soon in demand internationally, also making works for the New York City Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, and La Scala in Milan.
In 1961, Cranko was appointed director of the Stuttgart Ballet. New works for Stuttgart included Romeo and Juliet in 1963, Onegin in 1965, and The Taming of the Shrew in 1969. Cranko had a clear gift for dramatic storytelling. The New York Times noted, "As a choreographer, Mr. Cranko took the risk of reviving the full‐evening story ballet at a time when most audiences favored the plotless one‐act work. It was a gamble he won."
His works have served as a great influence for choreographers who came after him, including most notably Sir Kenneth MacMillan and Peter Wright. In addition, he encouraged young dancers in his company—including Jiří Kylián and John Neumeier—to try their hand at choreography.
In 1973, Cranko died unexpectedly aboard an airplane coming back from a New York tour. His premature death cut short a brilliant career at its height.
In 2007 the Stuttgart Ballet celebrated what would have been Cranko's 80th birthday with the Cranko Festival. Glen Tetley created the ballet Voluntariesin his memory. The John Cranko Society in Stuttgart, founded in 1975, promotes knowledge of ballet and Cranko's work, supports performances and talented dancers, and every year presents the John Cranko Award.

Clock Made from Recycled Bike Parts
Bike parts are obviously mechanical--and that means they're graphically bold and symmetrical. So it makes sense that the parts, taken away from the whole, are very appealing to the eye and have a dramatic design impact. We've seen chairs made from bike parts, but we found this interesting clock, perfect for the bicycle enthusiast (or mechanical-minded person) in your life.
Made from recycled bike cogs and gears, this clock from Uncommon Goods (designed by Graham Bergh from Portland, OR) makes a bold statement. We could see this living on the walls of a stark, modern living room, or even hanging in a vintage kitchen. What do you think?

Con-Man: Salt Lake and the City of Lines
Afterwards, we walked to Wendy's where it was more lines as there must be something in the air here that no one is prepared as there was one cashier frantically and frustratingly trying to take then send orders off. At one point she exclaimed she was still waiting for 8 sandwiches. Are there no managers in the great Salt Lake? Does no one want their day to run smoother? I understand things run a little slower here than in Los Angeles but I doubt the locals like waiting in line at Wendy's either. Although my Double, fries, Frosty and chicken nuggets came out in excellent time and of course, were delicious.
Let's hope Friday and early entry pans out or there's going to be fucking madness.

(Adds detail on capital requirements, Danske Bank comment)
COPENHAGEN, May 3 (Reuters) - Denmark's financial watchdog said on Thursday it had found "serious weaknesses" in Danske Bank's governance after investigating management and senior employees as part of an anti-money-laundering probe into the bank's Estonian branch.
It concluded Denmark's biggest bank was exposed "to significantly higher compliance and reputational risks than previously assessed" and that it now would assess the bank's capital requirements.
"The case has uncovered serious weaknesses in the bank's governance in a number of areas," the Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) said in a statement.
The FSA said it initially estimated the increase to Danske Bank's Pillar II capital requirements should amount to 5 billion Danish crowns ($805 million), which would increase its capital ratio for ensuring solvency to 11.2 percent from 10.5 percent.
Danske Bank said it had a total capital ratio of 21.4 percent at the end of March and "will thus continue to have a considerable solvency buffer".
The investigation resulted in eight orders for reforms at Danske Bank and eight reprimands.
"We take the criticism expressed by the FSA very seriously," said chief executive officer Thomas Borgen.
"We agree that we should have understood the depth and scope of the problems in Estonia at an earlier stage and should have reacted faster and more forcefully".
The FSA also said on Thursday its chairman Henrik Ramlau-Hansen, a former finance chief at Danske Bank, had decided to step down as he did not think he should play any further role in the discussion of Danske Bank's handling of the case.
Last month, a senior executive quit Danske Bank after it concluded there should have been an earlier and deeper inquiry into alleged money laundering at the Estonian branch. According to media reports, the bank was first alerted to the allegations by a whistleblower in December 2013.
Danske Bank said it expected its own investigation, which is being conducted by Danish law firm Bruun & Hjejle and overseen by the bank's board, to be completed in September at the latest.
At 0810 GMT, Danske Bank shares were down 0.3 percent at 217.4 crowns.

Arif Ahmad, representing the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association UK, last week attended a reception held by the mayor of Appleby-in-Westmoreland.
Chief guest at the event was the Prince of Wales who was returning to Appleby-in-Westmoreland more than one year on from the devastating floods which hit the town in late 2015.
The reception was held to thank those organisations and individuals who helped the flood relief efforts.
In the aftermath of the floods across West and North Yorkshire the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association UK through its auxiliary Organisations – The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) and The Ahmadiyya Muslim Elder's Association (AMEA) – provided help and flood relief to local residents.
A spokesman for the groups said: "Members of AMYA and AMEA travelled on a daily basis from throughout the country (including Spen Valley) to the region.
"They distributed food and water to local residents and helped them clear debris and move furniture as well as offering moral support to those affected by the floods."
Over the last few years AMYA and AMEA have raised money for local charities based in the area – including the Cumbria Foundation, local foodbanks and the Gateway Centre based in Kendal.
For their efforts AMYA were awarded a special Spirit of Cumbria award last year and Tim Farron – Leader of the Liberal Democrats and MP for Kendal – also personally thanked the community for their efforts.
During the short audience with Prince Charles he thanked the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association for their humanitarian efforts and said that they were a "very special" community.

Full Question
How is the date for Easter determined? Last year it was very early.
Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. If the first full moon occurs on the equinox, Easter is the following Sunday. Thus, Easter can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25.

They each took it in turns to come in and help design something for me to sew for them and in Dot's case she actually did most of the sewing herself.
Being an eco-friendly girl she wanted to make a fabric shopping bag so that we use fewer plastic bags. This is the reversible bag we came up with - a bit on the long side but useful nonetheless!
The children have all been spending a lot of time drawing Manga style pictures this holiday and so it seemed a good idea to translate some of the designs into applique .
Daisy wants me to make her a new school bag so this is the beginning of it:
and this is the picture once the stitching had been done - still far from bag-like though!
Fred and I worked on a T-shirt design by borrowing the head from one cartoon character and adding it to the body of another to create this little boy:
Fred chose all the fabrics and coloured in his picture to show me how it should be.
and here he is modelling the finished t-shirt at the beach - you wouldn't believe it had only cost 75p from Asda would you?
We then turned his lizard stitchery - that he did two years ago when he was 5 and we were on holiday in Italy - into a cushion
Again Fred chose the fabrics and layout and then had fun making patterns of his own.
I also took a photo for those doubting-Thomases amongst you who don't believe that it is possible for me to keep my sewing room tidy.
This is the only "mess" ever left in the whole room at the end of each day!
I know I am!
But I'm less impressed with the Lucy Locket method of re-styling my own clothes.....................
Hmmmm, not quite the result I was after even though Mr Locket tried his very best and didn't complain that he was being made late for work.
Do you think it would have been better to take the t-shirt off first before cutting the sleeve???

My inspirational 7 point guide to achieving the look!
Image via the design files
Design styles and rules come and go, but what I'm loving about design trends this year is that there seem to be no set rules! This year, as mentioned here, the emphasis is on interiors with a personal and unique style that reflect the individuals living there.
And the word, and style that sums it up, is ECLECTIC!
We are all eclectic: We like a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and our surroundings should reflect the different aspects of our personalities, and our interiors should sum up our memories and experiences that we've collected throughout our lives.
Eclectic interiors have an effortless "anything goes" feel that comes along with your road to finding YOUR decorating style: Go with what you love and see how your space takes shape!
There is something magical that happens to an interior that resists the urge to meticulously match its furnishings in ONE design style and the main rule is to do it with confidence!
Eclectic design is by definition a mixture of different decorating styles: A blend of different cultures and time periods: Unexpected elements mixed together: Old is mixed with new, shiny and bright with muted and rustic, bold and graphic with soft and feminine...The possibilities are endless...and completely individual!!
But A successful eclectic design is not just a mish-mash of styles and colours: It should be a deliberate and planned design scheme that is unified by furnishings that relate to each other through color, shape, texture, finish or scale, so today I am not only sharing some inspirational images from the www featuring some amazing eclectic interiors, but also some tips (NOT rules) on how to make it work!
Start with a blank canvas
Image via the design files
Neutral wall colours create a blank canvas to really make your interior treasures pop!
Don't overwhelm your space with too much colour, but equally: don't be afraid to add some bright coloured accents!
Add an awesome Rug (or two...)
Image via bolig magasinet DK
A good place to start is from the floor and up:
Start with a patterned rug, "the jewel of the floor": Colourful tribal or geometric ones pack a punch...Or even try layering rugs in different patterns and shapes: See some tips on how here.
Add a plush sofa
Image via klikk.no
Adding an inviting and comfy looking sofa will be a great investment to any interior, but choosing a colourful one in a plush material ,like velvet will really help you achieve that Eclectic look.

There are unlimited way's to furnish a room for a truly eclectic interior: Make a statement by getting furniture from an era that is in juxtaposition with your home's architecture: Ie: a Mid century modern style in a Victorian house would look fantastic!
Or mix up the styles of furniture you choose: Vintage with modern, retro and Mid-century Modern with traditional, Industrial with antique....anything goes! Try to not keep to one design style, but really mix it up!
Image from helt enkelt
But think, not only about the Era's your furniture is from, but also the materials, patterns and colours:
worn and weathered with sleek and shiny, an antique chair reupholstered in a modern geometric fabric and soft hues mixed with strong graphic elements..Adding your own "twist" to things will help your interior confidently stand out and reflect your personality, and is the perfect way to decorate an eclectic space..
Offset your accessories

Opposites attract!
Again: Choosing accessories that is from completely different era's, styles and materials works wonderfully in an eclectic interior!
This goes for soft furnishings as well as decorative objects and lighting...

Add Art

As you can see in pretty much all the images in this post, the addition of art is very important!
Art is very personal! What art you choose to display should be a direct expression of who you are!
Nothing makes an eclectic space more than Art!
So use it to it's full potential, and display yours with pride!!
Make a statement with a huge abstract painting (The perfect counterpart to a bold rug and an eye-catching sofa), Or display a collection of "finds" from charity shops on a gallery wall, Or why not blow up family photos on a canvas or choose some great contemporary photography or posters to cheer up your walls! I am planning a series of ART inspired posts in the near future, so if you are feeling less than confident about making a statement with art, please say tuned for that!
Make your home come alive with plants
Filling your home with plants is not only good for the air quality in your home and your health, but will also make your interiors literally "Come alive"!
They add a certain genuine-ness to the decor! Keeping plants is a commitment and makes your interior seem confident and less contrived!
In my opinion: A MUST for a truly eclectic interior!
If you are anything less than green-fingered, like me, try adding a few easy to keep cactuses, and follow the #urbanjunglebloggers hash-tag on social media for loads of inspiration and tips on keeping plants!
That concludes my "guide" to eclectic interiors for today: I will be back on Saturday to show you all how to shop and put together an eclectic look, with my picks from the coming spring collections!
Have a great week!

Behavior as Communication
Students with disabilities often have difficulty advocating for themselves due to a lack of ability to communicate. Because of this, behaviors that are likely to be noticed are used in order to have their wants and needs met. This can lead to unwanted behaviors that will prevent the student from learning and potentially hurt himself or others around him. To the outsider, these behaviors may look like a student that is just behaving badly, but in reality they are trying to communicate with those around them in order to accomplish something.
Defining the Function
Every behavior has a function, or something that it is trying to communicate. There are three main functions that unwanted behaviors serve. Those are: behaviors seeking attention, behaviors done to escape a situation and sensory seeking behaviors. For example, every time a student is asked to complete a task, they begin screaming and hitting themselves. The result is that they are taken away from the desk and moved away from the class. In this case, the function of the behavior is to escape or get out of doing the task.
Determining the function of the unwanted behavior often requires input and data collection. One way to accomplish this is to use a functional behavior analysis in order to determine what is happening before and after the behavior occurs. This would be completed by anyone that witnesses the behavior on a regular basis. By understanding what causes the behavior and what the result is in every situation, a pattern will be identified. Knowing what the student is trying to communicate with the behavior will allow an alternative and more appropriate behavior to be taught.
Providing an Alternative
Introducing a new behavior involves preparation. Determining something that the student will be willing to use, teaching them how and when to use it, and setting up ways for him to be successful will insure that the alternative behavior is accepted as a way to communicate his needs. It is important to consider the individual student's needs when making the choice. When possible, the student should be included in finding a solution. Alternative behaviors such as utilizing communication devices for special needs kids can be as simple or as complex as needed. In the example of the student who yells to get out of a task, she could use a communication device that plays a recorded message asking for a break.
Assistive Technology
One example of an alternative solution is to provide the student with a piece of assistive technology that will give him a voice and allow him to make requests without having to act in an inappropriate way. Communication devices for special needs kids can range from a simple photograph that the student chooses to express a thought, to more complex augmentative communication devices with voice output such as the Dynavox. However, it is important to think about a student's common behaviors when deciding on assistive technology. Expensive breakable equipment is not the best choice for a student who throws things. When deciding on what assistive technology might work, always use age appropriate equipment. Take the student's cognitive ability into account when choosing equipment and be careful not to choose something that will be too difficult to use properly.

Give a girl the right shoes, Marilyn Monroe once said, and she can conquer the world. The problems start if, like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City or Victoria Beckham, you believe that Christian Louboutins, with their distinctive red soles, are the right shoes – and you don't currently have access to a Bob Diamond-size payoff. Now that's a depressing thought.
Except that Homebase thinks it has a solution. Perhaps the miserable summer is to blame, but something bizarre has been happening in the world of DIY. Instead of women stalking the aisles, coming to blows with their partner over wooden-versus-white loo seats, the hardware giant claims that it has noticed an increasing number furtively checking out their £1.49 tester paint pots.
Add to that a 40 per cent jump in sales of the shocking reds – Flame and Showstopper – and Homebase has put two and two together (which is more than I achieve when grappling with one of their flatpacks). It claims that women are using the paint to create DIY Louboutin heels. As Peter Rooney, store manager at Acton, told me: "We have recently noticed a significant number of girls in the store colour matching the tester pots to pictures of designer shoes in fashion magazines and requesting tips on how to paint on leather or rubber."
Tips on painting on rubber? Whether Acton is now overrun by those who are taking Fifty Shades of Grey to new extremes, or is swarming with ingenious designer wannabes, the idea is tempting. Louboutins are priced on average at £635 a pair. And it would be only doing what the designer himself did (he "invented" his signature look in 1992 by painting the soles of shoes with an assistant's nail polish). So could I recreate myself as a Victoria Beckham wannabe and still get change from a £20 note?
The first bit was easy: buy a pair of £16 platforms from Primark that resembled (from a distance, with poor eyesight) a pair of vertiginous Louboutins; invest in £1.49 tester pot; dig out small brush, and (loyally) a copy of The Daily Telegraph to lay out on the dining room floor for catching any splashes.
The DIY giant recommends using a primer beforehand and surface sealant afterwards, but Claire Stevenson, a 24-year-old PA from Croydon who claims to have fooled all her friends at a recent wedding with her fake red-soled New Look patent heels, assured me that one coat of paint was all that was needed. "You do need to let it dry overnight, though," she warned. "It's tempting to get overexcited, but waiting is key."
Maybe in retrospect I should have listened more carefully. But I was too busy trying to get the £16 price tag off the sole – which took longer than the painting (tip: use a scourer). And that was before I had to fiddle about so that the red paint stayed on the sole, rather than bleeding on to the platform itself (tip: have emergency kitchen roll nearby). But, despite all my cynicism, as I daubed on the paint, there was the beginning of a Louboutin‑esque feel (tip: have David Beckham standing by with glass of champagne to recreate designer experience in full).
Close up, there were tell-tale splodges, no matter how hard I'd tried. And one heel in particular looked rather patchy. But I was buoyed by the thought that if I was wearing them to a social event, people were unlikely to get close enough to see the imperfections. If you are at a wedding where everyone ends up sprawled on the floor at your feet, there are clearly far greater worries than whether someone points out you've used the wrong shade of Duracoat.
But unlike Claire Stevenson, I'd allowed my enthusiasm to get the better of me. Despite assuring myself the shoes were dry, tell-tale red splodges followed me as I teetered along. Fine if you are walking up the red carpet; not so great on your mother-in-law's new rug. And after a couple of promenades, scuffs started to wear away at the red, something Richard Johnson, senior paint buyer at Homebase, said was natural.
"These tester pots are water-based emulsions, so they aren't very durable. I don't think it would last an evening, particularly with the weather we're having," he advised. "We find that some women are buying instead our own-brand red gloss: it costs £12 to £14 a can, but it's more robust and you wouldn't get so many scuffs."
Yet even if I were tempted to pay as much for the paint as for the shoes, I would think twice. Louboutin is famously litigious over any infringements of his red soles: a case against the Spanish company Zara has only just been resolved; a suit against Yves St Laurent rumbles on.
The truth is, if I can't afford a pair of Louboutin's heels, I certainly can't afford to be sued by him. Perhaps the nearest I'll get to a Victoria Beckham lifestyle, then, is a scowl.

On the heels of the discussion and controversy around the recent film A DANGEROUS METHOD, "Out of the Shadows: A Story of Toni Wolff and Emma Jung" is a rich dialogue about shadow and the complexities of relationships and theory at the dawn of the field of psychology. The book is the featured selection for the Depth Psychology Alliance free online book club in September 2012.
The year is 1910. Sigmund Freud and his heir-apparent, Carl Jung, are changing the way we think about human nature and the mind. 22-year-old TONI WOLFF enters the heart of this world as Jung's patient. His wife, EMMA JUNG, is 26, a mother of four, aspiring to help her husband create the new science of psychology. Toni Wolff's fiercely curious mind, and her devotion to Jung, threaten this aspiration. Despite their passionate rivalry for Jung's mind and heart, the two women often find themselves allied.
Their relationship spans 40 years, from pre-World War I to the dawn of the Atomic Age. Their story follows the development of the field of psychology, and the moral and professional choices of some of its major players.
Join host Bonnie Bright with Elizabeth Clark-Stern, a psychotherapist in private practice in Seattle,Washington, as they discuss this unique book. Before embracing this beloved work, Elizabeth worked as a professional screenwriter and has produced multiple plays and teleplays. This play, "Out of the Shadows: A Story of Toni Wolff and Emma Jung", published by Fisher King Press, has been performed in Seattle, at the International Jungian Congress in South Africa, and for the Archetypal Theater Company in New Orleans.

Family relationships are complex
Whether you are a parent, child, sibling or spouse, navigating the waters of your family's relationships is an essential part of everyday life.
Sometimes, it's easy. Other times, we become so enmeshed in our own drama that we need an outside perspective to help us see what is happening.
That's where family counseling comes in.
How Family Counseling Works
At Well Clinic, families of all kinds and ages are welcome. While our therapists often work with children in one-on-one sessions, the family is seen as a systemic unit, and all members are invited to participate in family counseling.
Your family counselor will help you see first-hand exactly how your relationships are getting stuck. They also will call on your individual and shared strengths to move through these blocks and find new ways to love, support and be supported by each other.
Individual Therapy for Children
Individual therapy can be helpful at any age, especially when your child is acting out, withdrawing or falling behind in school.
By introducing your child to a skilled and supportive therapist, you can simultaneously support their personal growth and learn more effective parenting strategies to help them on your own. Additionally, we can provide therapy to family members, should it be beneficial for your child's treatment.
I absolutely love Well Clinic! From the beginning, my husband and I felt like we were in a comfortable and safe space.
Our couple's therapy bridged gaps in our relationship and helped us understand each other that much more.
Ivette B
Well Clinic is an oasis, especially for busy professionals like me.
It's a relaxing and safe space, nothing like the stuffy or drab offices you'd expect when going to a therapist.
Brianna S
Well Clinic's inviting and professional design makes me feel comfortable and at ease, which probably benefits the work I am doing.
In fact, it doesn't really feel like a therapy clinic at all, which I find awesome.
Jim M
Well Clinic is an amazing place for holistic healing and medicine. The services they offer — and the professionals they employ — are unparalleled.
They are a progressive and forward thinking bunch of healers who will make you feel at home. Huge thumbs up for this awesome team!!
Dan N

Tonight I'm really proud of myself.
A couple of days ago an idea crossed my mind: to make an inventory of my entire RPG collection. What a humongous task. I have something like 7 hundred books in my collection so Excel and manual data input was out of question, so I needed an alternative.
On paper both Anobii and GoodReads seemed acceptable, but the task of typing more then 7 hundred of ISBN was huge however.
A few clicks (and a couple of days) later I was the happy owner of a barcode USB reader.
I've tryed to use both services, but GoodReads was really a pain in the ass, needing 2 clicks after every barcode scan. Anobii allowed me to just scan one book after the other.
Today, in just one evening, I completely finished the job. Wow!
(Some books were missing and I'm waiting all my additions to be reviewed, but it's just a matter of a couple of days)
Wanna see the result?

profile | register | faq
By JOE MAHRBLADE STAFF WRITER
Mary Poppins. Jeffrey Dahmer. Janet Jackson. Chad Staton.Defiance County elections officials were confident the first three hadn't moved to their small community. But the fourth one lived there, and - in exchange for crack cocaine - tried to falsely submit the first three names and more than 100 others onto the county's voter registration rolls, police said.
Now Mr. Staton, 22, of Defiance, faces a felony charge of false registration in a case that has quickly gained national attention as part of a hotly contested presidential battle that's attracted a flurry of new voter registrations across the country - and a flurry of complaints of voter registration fraud.
Defiance County Sheriff David Westrick said that Mr. Staton was working on behalf of a Toledo woman, Georgianne Pitts, to register new voters. She, in turn, was working on behalf of the NAACP National Voter Fund, which was formed by the NAACP in 2000 to register new voters.
Sheriff Westrick said that Pitts, 41, of Toledo, admitted she gave Mr. Staton crack cocaine in lieu of cash for supplying her with completed voter registration forms. The sheriff declined to say how much crack cocaine Pitts supplied Mr. Staton, or to say whether Pitts knew that the forms Mr. Staton gave her were falsified.
"That remains under investigation," he said.
Defiance County sheriff's deputies and Toledo police searched Pitts' home on Woodland Avenue and found drug paraphernalia and voter registration forms, the sheriff said.
Pitts, who over the past two decades has been convicted of crimes ranging from domestic violence to resisting arrest, was not arrested this week. She could not be reached for comment. A month ago, she had just finished a year of probation for driving with a suspended license.
Pitts told police that she was recruited by Thaddeus J. Jackson II, who is coordinating the Toledo efforts of the NAACP Voter Fund.
Reached yesterday afternoon in Cleveland, Mr. Jackson described Pitts as a "volunteer" with the group but said he knew of no problems with her and of no voter fraud with her new-voter submissions.
"This is the first I've heard of it," he told The Blade.
He refused further comment on the case and representatives of the voter fund in Washington declined to elaborate on Pitts' involvement in the campaign.
In a statement issued late yesterday, Gregory Moore, the national executive director, said the group was "shocked" by the allegations, welcomed the investigation, and hoped it didn't hurt the reputation of other "volunteers and canvassers who have worked tirelessly to enfranchise the disenfranchised throughout the year."
Mr. Staton's 130 voter registration forms were among the 80,000 submitted to state officials by The National Voter Fund's Ohio office, based in Cleveland. The fund turned in Mr. Staton's completed forms to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, elections officials said.
Of the 130 forms submitted, county elections board director Wayne Olsson said that only six turned out to be legitimate.
Noting that the potentially new voters had listed addresses in Defiance County, Cuyahoga County elections officials sent the forms to Defiance County, where they arrived the afternoon of Oct. 8.
The package came with a small note inside from Cuyahoga County officials: Check the signatures on the cards for fraud.
Within an hour, Defiance County elections workers had deduced that the batch of 130 was mostly faked forms, said Laura Howell, the county elections board's deputy director.
"We could tell by the handwriting that many of them were written by the same person," she said. "And of course we know the streets. Defiance being a small town, many of [the forms] had streets not even in Defiance."
And so elections workers immediately began sending out letters, addressed to the people listed at those addresses, as a precaution to ensure that a Mary Poppins, a Jeffrey Dahmer, or a Janet Jackson didn't, in fact, live in Defiance County, she said.
Letters also went out to George Foreman, Brett Favre, Michael Jordan, and Dick Tracy, among others in the bundle to see if the post office would return them as undeliverable.
Letters even went out to a handful of people registered on forms with different personal identifiers but the same name: Chad Staton.
None of the Chad Statons made the cut.
In the meantime, elections officials contacted the office of Sheriff Westrick, a Republican, who began an investigation that included the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Mr. Staton as he walked along a Defiance street about 8 a.m. yesterday, and issued a press release by noon that soon spread across the Internet.
The Ohio Republican Party immediately seized on the scandal. In a statement issued hours later, spokesman Jason Mauk cited the case in claiming that "the effort to steal Ohio's election is under way, and it's being driven exclusively by interest groups working to register Democrat voters."
The Ohio Democratic Party responded that they don't condone any registration fraud. Spokesman Dan Trevas argued that, of the 500,000 forms submitted for newly registered voters, "the vast, vast majority are clearly eligible voters who did the right thing."
He called it a "stretch" to link the Democratic Party and the NAACP Voter Fund to fraud because "the volunteer to the volunteer did something fraudulent."
But it's not the first complaint of fraud against the NAACP Voter Fund, which insists it is nonpartisan.
Elections officials in Lake County, just east of Cleveland, last month began investigating the group and an anti-Bush group called Americans Coming Together, or ACT Ohio, for hundreds of suspicious registration forms and absentee ballot requests.
Among them was one, submitted by the NAACP Voter Fund, for a man who'd been dead for more than two decades.
Mr. Staton's arrest is not the first time someone who is paid to collect voter registrations or petition signatures has been accusing of falsifying them - such accusations have been made across the country.
And the NAACP Voter Fund is not the first group to come under fire.
Among the others are a Republican-linked group, Voters Outreach of America, which has been accused of destroying voter-registration forms its workers had collected from Democratic voters in Nevada and Oregon
