What Kind of Summer Camp Jobs Are Available in the USA?
2 minutes
InterExchange places participants in a variety of jobs at many different types of camps. Here's an overview of the types of jobs available and a description of typical duties for each!
General Counselor:
As a general counselor, you'll be assigned to a group of campers, and you'll be more directly involved with them than anyone else. You'll sleep in the same area, eat at the same table and go almost everywhere together. You'll have a lot of responsibility, and for the summer, you become a teacher, and role model for your campers. You'll have the opportunity to make a big impact on your campers' lives. As a general counselor, you will participate or lead a variety of activities.
Activity Counselor:
Activity counselors are responsible for planning, organizing and teaching one or more specific activity area - such as swimming, art, tennis and many other activites. You can expect to teach large groups of children throughout the summer. Usually, you'll spend most of your time teaching your specialty to different children from various age groups. In some camps, you may work only as an activity counselor. In others, you might have general counselor responsibilities part of the time and work as an activity counselor during other times.
Special Needs Counselor:
Special needs counselors work with campers of various ages who have a wide variety of disabilities.
As a special needs counselor, you may need to help bathe or lift campers. If you have experience working with people with special needs, that's great. However, previous experience isn't required, as long as you are patient, energetic, have a respectful attitude toward people with disabilities and are open to a challenging but also incredibly rewarding experience.
Support Staff:
Support staff are responsible for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps camp running. In some camps, you may only do one job all summer and in others, you may rotate jobs throughout the week. Support staff jobs require long hours of physical labor, but you'll receive a slightly higher stipend than counselors. Specific jobs include:
- Driver: You may need to drive during the day or evening, lift heavy things into the camp truck and read maps. To be a driver, you'll need an international driver's license, and you should be very familiar with American road and highway signs.
- Housekeeper: You will vacuum or sweep, tidy up bunks or cabins, clean toilets and keep the rest of camp generally neat.
- Kitchen Staff: This is the most common support staff job. You will wash dishes, prepare food, clean tables and floors, set up the dining room and take out the garbage.
- Laundry Staff: You will collect, wash, dry and fold clothes.
- Maintenance Staff: You may be responsible for carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, mowing lawns, cleaning pools, painting or any other job needed to make sure camp looks nice and runs well.
- Office Workers: Working in the main office, you will answer phones, work with computers, and do other general office tasks. Strong English skills are very important to these positions.
* you may be placed in one position or rotate through a variety of jobs and tasks.

Creating a Search Listing Campaign
This article will cover how to create a featured ad and sponsored ad to appear in searches.
Logging in
In your browser, open the Campaign Manager (CM), at pan.placester.com. Enter your log in details and click Login.
Creating a campaign
On the home page, click the + (Plus) button next to Campaigns. A small drop-down menu will appear, giving you three campaign choices:
- Single - this will allow you to create a regular campaign with individual ads
- Bulk: Search Ads - this creates autogenerated campaigns, ie the campiagn populates itself with ads
- Bulk: Widget Ads - this autogenerates ads for specific placement types, ie the home page or the sidebars
Throughout these examples we will be using placeholder ads to illustrate the steps involved in creating campaigns and ads.
Creating a campaign - Settings
On the New Campaign page, fill in the settings as follows:
- Name: Give the campaign a name that makes sense to you. We like to name in the following convention: Name of publication - Campaign type (ie 'Featured Search') - name of city/agent or MLS ID (depending on type of ads being created). In our example: "Placester - Featured Search - Boston". With each different campaign type, you should change the campaign name for future reference. However, feel free to name in any way that makes sense to you.
- For What Site: Select the website that your campaign will appear on.
- Advertiser: Select the advertiser from the dropdown menu. Advertiser must already be created in the Advertiser tab.
- Pricing: We recommend that this should always be Share of Voice.
- Start/End: Enter a start and/or end date, if you want or need to. This is optional and not required to set up a campaign.
Example below. We have used "Placester chron" as an example advertiser.
Creating a campaign - Targeting
For Search Listings Campaigns, you don't need to enter any targeting. This is because once the ads are created within the campaign, they target themselves. What we mean by this is that our sites recognize which location the ad should be displaying in, and will appear on the relevant search result pages on the site.
Activating the campaign
To activate the campaign at any time, click the Start button. Once the campaign is started, this link will change to read Pause. You can Start and Pause the campaign at any time.
Clicking Archive will deactivate the campaign and all ads within it. This is unreversible.
Clicking Reports gives you the option to download reports about the campaign. These are available for the current month, last month, or the last three months.
Select Your 'Search Listing' for Your Ad Type
In the relevant campaign (in this example, Placester - Featured Search - Cambridge), click the large + (plus) button to create a new advert. Select the Search Listing option, then name the ad, using either the MLS ID or the first line of the address of the listing (we tend to use the MLS ID). Select the type of listing; Featured or Sponsored. Sponsored listings will always appear at the top of the listings page (there are only 2 Sponsored Listing slots available on any search results page), while Featured listings come after Sponsored ones and above regular listings. Select the site from the next drop-down and enter the MLS ID number in the Listings MLS ID box.
Select the Listing in the Dropdown
Having selected the site and entered the MLS ID, the CM will find the listing and show it in the Select Listing box. It is not necessary to fill out the other fields, but they can be used for further filtering the listings results. Select the listing by clicking on it, then click Add Line Item to complete the ad.
NB: If you have selected a Sponsored Listing, there will be a box at the bottom of the page (under the Select Listing box) that allows you to add an image to the listing - this can be used to add the logo of the office the listing is posted with. It is an optional field.

Since I last wrote you, more than a three monthhave passed. And so many things have changed.
Let me begin at the beginning...which is actually the end of April when I chronicled the post below...
I had been hinting that we were looking for a place of our own and while our first choices were Omro or Winneconne, there was nothing affordable that truly fit our needs. That being said, we found a great old house to rent in downtown Oshkosh. It's the lower half of the home, with the upper being completely chaotic in the midst of renovation, so we don't have upstairs housemates and likely won't for a long time. The yard is roughly 1/3 of an acre, right here in the heart of the city. There are three bedrooms, a large farmhouse kitchen, one bathroom, a huge dining room and living room. Also of note is the sizable front porch and ample space in the lawn for a garden. The ceilings are 14' and the original hardwood floors and woodwork make this home full of character and style. For Andy and I, it was the next best thing to a home of our own on a farmette. As part of the rental deal, the landlord renovated a room in the basement to serve as Andy's work-from-home office, which he is utilizing daily.
Here is a view of the front from across the street. Elly is flying past on Ethan's balance bike. The yard on both sides is ours. There is an alley in the back since our street is a one way and our garage is in the very back. We love the porch and cannot wait for warmer weather so we can have meals out there.
Also came with a tree swing in which Ethan here demonstrates his floating run. You can see the back alley and the kids toys to help you figure out what direction you are looking.
Inside, the home also came with a free set of bunkbeds which we needed for Elly and Ethan and a 1947 baby grand player piano. Andy is currently learning how to tune it himself. He's amazingly good at it since he can hear the notes perfectly. We've always wanted a piano!
Below, Liam and Ethan read books in one corner of the Elly and Ethan's room. Liam has his own space again, complete with crib (not a pack-n-play like he had for the last nine months) and rocking chair. It's the smallest of the three rooms and just the right size for him. (sorry, no photos yet).
I love the counter in the kitchen. The home came with two tall and stable bar stools that we fit into the corner when not in use. But we can fit the kids up there to help learn cooking and baking, or just watch us work in the kitchen. They love it and consistently fight over the two. Early on, Liam learned he could sit there too like the big kids and now he feels he has just as much right to a stool as anyone else. So...we figured out that if we scrunch the two stools together, we create a bench of sorts and then...
...Everyone can see! And, everyone can participate, just like they always wanted. Whew!
Above, you see another angle of the kids' room, with their new bunk bed. Below, you see their door. Yes, its a big beautiful pocket door and our bedroom has one too!
Above, this is a view of the living/dining/kitchen rooms. Complete with kid messes! :-)
Here Ethan works on some playdough while I blog and Liam naps. This is a shot of our kitchen with the 14' metal ceiling and farm kitchen cupboards. We had to put our canned goods and Grandma's cooking utensils on center stage. It just felt perfect. What you can't see is that we also had room for a "kitchen couch," thereby inviting guests and family alike to hang out in the kitchen when the cooking is being done. Let's be honest, it's where everyone gathers most the time anyway!
Fast forward to the month of June and there have been even more changes in our life...
1. I got a hair cut (ok, not that big of a deal, but it's still a nice change to mention). Before, then after!
2. Andy and I celebrated 6 years of marriage on May 6th! (and the reason I cut my hair; a gift to Andrew as he loves short hair on me)
3. Elly turned 5 years old on May 9th. (so soon!?)
4. Elly completed her first dance class with a single recital for all the kids in the Omro grade school gym. She was very excited about it, but after three months, she was definitely done with dancing.
5. I got a full time job.
6. We learned we are pregnant with our fourth child!
The last two combined caused me to be utterly spent at the end of each day and the thought of even checking my email made me want to curl up in a coma and sleep for a week.
My job was a temp job with a local corporation doing layout design and typesetting. Very agreeable work, but long hours. My longest week was 70 hours and the shortest was a typical 40. I say was, because the job ended last week. I had about 5 solid weeks of hard work and good pay to help us bank up a little reserve for the summer.
During that time, Andy took over being the head of the domestic arts and excelled at being father, chef, house-cleaner, home schooler and playdate maker. At any given moment, I'd receive an email at work with a photo of the kids' current events. It was very heartening for a newly working mother to know that all was safe, sound and very well at home. He put in a large garden in our back yard and nice looking fence row of raspberry transplants across the front of the yard. It was three weeks of intermittent labor, but it all looks amazing now!
I only had one incident at work in which the morning sickness overcame me but I was able to make it to the bathroom in time. JUST in time. Thankfully, I have come out of morning sickness stage and though I am still drained at the end of the day, I can eat most foods set in front of me. We think I'm due about New Years.
Because we weren't planning this fourth addition, we are now in need of a mini-van again. While the Plymouth Breeze has served us well, it won't fit another car seat in the already crowded back seat. :-)
That was our past two months. Really, really nutshelled that one, but I need to move on with current events. And naps are ending in T-minus ten minutes, I just know it!
In a couple weeks, our family has the privilege to travel for the Wisconsin Farmer's Union to North Dakota. This is for their FUE (Farmer's Union Enterprise) Young Couple's program. We applied to be this year's couple and were chosen to represent Wisconsin amongst four other states: Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. We will have the opportunity to travel to five locations across the nation in the next year starting with this leadership retreat in Medora, ND. The kids are welcome and we are making a family vacation out of it.
After the three day retreat we plan to visit some friends of ours in Colorado Springs from our CO days. However, with the wildfires causing so many homes destroyed, our friends may be evacuated! Our prayers are with them...
On our way home, we hope to visit our favorite editors at Grit and Mother Earth News!
Rebekah Sell lives on a small plot of land with her husband, Andy, on which they are hoping to build a sustainable homestead. With a small business and four kids, life is always interesting as Becky and Andy live fully the idea that the journey is the reward. Find her on Google+.

World Literature Weekend – Central Europe
The second session from Sunday's World Literature Weekend event held by the London Review Bookshop provided a chance to have a debate about a wide area – Central Europe.
Penguin has recently published a ten book series under the umbrella the Central European Classics and the series editor Simon Winder was flanked by several translators Michael Hofmann, George Szirtes and Tomáš Zmeškal to talk about what it meant to be central European when the books that covered the start of the last century up to around the end of the second world war and what it means now.
There were several conclusions that are worth capturing and sharing here.
The first, and once you think about it one of the most obvious, is that most of these writers were describing a world that no longer exists. Winder talked about one writer who had not only the name of his home ton changed but his entire country subsumed into another.
Add to that the quite widespread phenomenon of having cultures that hated each other tightly packed together and you had a melting pot of languages, migration both voluntarily and compulsory as well as war.
This produces an almost dream like quality to most of the writing where the world's that the writers inhabit are often imagined and fluid. That is a theme that the assembled speakers agreed went through the classics series.
The second theme was around the idea of an anti-state position. Michael Hofmann said that at first he didn't understand why Thomas Bernhard had been included until he came to look at it from this anti-state point of view. he said that during his writing career Bernhard was racked on the knuckles with writs and legal actions but had been slightly further east he would have been imprisoned and much more heavily censored.
Finally when it came to looking at the future there was a feeling that central Europe was potentially re-emerging having been squeezed out of common parlance after the end of the second world war. With the collapse of the Austro Hungarian Empire, then years later the spread of Soviet satellite states Europe became divided into East and West with not a great deal of room for the Central states to have their own identity in the middle.
That could potentially change as the political geography of Europe changes. The writers in the series are still read by their native Czech and Hungarian readerships and there was a sense that the world and mentality that emerges through the pages of the books in the Penguin series could come out of the shadows once more.

CPU usage is determined by what the app decides to encode and decode. In Neo, we encode 720p30, and that combined with Neo's Chromium-based rendering causes it to use more CPU. We have plans to improve Neo's CPU usage in upcoming releases.
Vidyo.io is only a video chat engine with a limited GUI and hence, uses less CPU.
If more optimization is needed with Vidyo.io, application developers have the freedom to choose encode/decode, thus controlling how much CPU is consumed. Also, Vidyo.io uses the SDK's native rendering pipeline, which is more CPU-efficient than that of Neo.

So I have been ALL about CHEAP Halloween decorations this year. Almost all of my decor has either been used from past years, or found at the Dollar store from this season. And no, I'm not talking about the Dollar General, I'm talking the actual $1 store; where everything is literally one dollar. It's pretty fabulous if you ask me.
As you can imagine, the dollar store doesn't always have the most sophisticated items. It takes a little bit of work to get them "Amy approved"! Thankfully I have a little theory that just about anything can be spray painted. I just made over my $1 store pumpkins, found here, and I was very happy with the outcome. Today I will be showing you the skulls I made over from that same shopping trip.
As soon as I saw these skulls, I knew they would look much nicer with a solid coat of white on them. I already had some matte white spray paint at home, so I grabbed a few skulls and threw them in my cart! It took about 3 good coats of paint, but once they were done, they were SO much more attractive! A perfect neutral to add to my halloween table scape.
And here is a sneak peek of my center piece where the skull is actually being used. Make sure to stop by on Thursday, October 17th to see my Halloween Home Tour! You will see my full centerpiece and much more!

What is it like to be a Pilot?
A career as a pilot can take you around the world. Whether you fly as a commercial pilot for an airline, training organisation, operate charter flights or as an instructor - the sky really is the limit.
For more information about a career as a Pilot, visit the Job Outlook website.
This data shows historical and projected employment levels (thousands) for this occupation. Data should be used as a guide only. Where exact job data has not been available, data from a related field has been used. Source: ABS Labour Force Survey.
Is it right for me?
Pilots need a keen eye for detail, ability to analyse and solve problems, the aptitude to make crucial operational decisions, and most importantly a passion for flying.
Other important skills include:
- critical thinking and problem solving
- active listening
- time management
- systems evaluation
To become a Pilot
To be able to become a Pilot, your study options will change based on your previous study experience or your preferred study pathway:
Professional Accreditation
Once you have successfully completed your flight training and graduated from the Bachelor of Aviation (Flight Operations), the Australian Civil Aviation Authority will issue your Commercial Pilot Licence, an Instrument Rating and Multi-engine endorsement.
This will allow you to start your career as a pilot in general aviation or perhaps enter a cadet program with an Airline. Further experience will allow you to seek employment with airlines across the globe.

Rush's new CD will come out sometime this year. It's their best ever, insists Geddy Lee! But he would, wouldn't he. Lee traveled the country and didn't find himself pleased with the religious right, so don't look for any U2-like embrace of their music by congregations. (RUSH-ashana, anyone?) Meanwhile Bright Eyes has an Ep in March and a new album April 10. Conor Oberst had one of the most overwhelming amounts of media focus for his album "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning," being constantly hailed as the new Dylan, which wasn't even a crazy comparison. Then the hype came to a complete halt the moment his album came out, which may have unnerved or probably relieved him.
Finally, Sony got a slap on the wrist for embedding secret software onto millions of people's computers and screwing with their performance and spying on them. We need a Privacy Amendment to the Constitution.

Guest Posting or Article Directory Marketing – Which Path to Follow For Efficient Link Building?
Internet blogging is growing day by day. Youngsters are considering it as a serious employment option but to succeed in it, you need to have a clear state of mind. You must have the ability to draw in large number of traffic which can be done only by effective link building.
That is when the dilemma starts to occur. As the topic suggests, there are two proven ways (Make no mistake, link building is not limited to these two techniques only) to build links and they are Guest posting and Article Directory Marketing. Let us do a comparative analysis on them and see what works better:
Article Directory Marketing
What is it?
Article directories are data warehouses that contain numerous articles posted by various authors. By posing the articles to these directories, the authors will get a chance to promote themselves and their product. On most article directories, there is a small 'about me' column under every post where the author could describe about himself. This lets the clients know about him.
After you publish your article to these directories, you will get some traffic. Since these websites have traffic all the time, there is no time barrier to your work. If the client likes your work, he will contact you through your e-mail address or telephone number. Moreover, there are author resource boxes, where you can add your links with relevant anchor texts, if a reader finds it interesting, he is bound to click on those links and get to your website.
- There are literally thousands of article directories available in the internet. One has to submit his article manually to these directories and it consumes loads of time (You can use article directory submission software, but, from my personal experience, I'll advise you to stay away from these). You could even end up submitting your work to a directory which hardly attracts traffic. It will end up being a colossal waste of time.
- These directories contain various topics and sub-topics under that. It is very common for authors to submit their work in the wrong topics. By doing so, the traffic to your articles will be limited giving you no profit.
- Also, if you have a site for selling something, chances are unlikely that you will get some customers from an article directory. They are mostly interested readers, hardly customers. There is an exception to this rule though if your article somehow gets ranked highly in Google (Again, after recent Google Panda update, article directories have been hit hard and chances of such an article being in the first page are leaner these days).
Guest Posting
What is it?
There is a subtle link between the adjectives easy and hard. Guest Posting comes under that link.
Guest Posting is nothing but publishing a post in a relevant blog in your niche. It serves both purposes, the webmaster gets valuable content and the author gets link backs to his site.
In order to do this, you will have to find a site that suits your niche. Just Google and you will find thousands of blogs. Most of these blogs will accept guest posting. A good idea will be to search the phrase "Write for us" and you will find plenty of blogs interested in getting a guest post.
Now, the choice of the site has to be good. It has to be an already established site with natural traffic. Then, observe the way their authors write their post. There must be a pattern. Observe that and e-mail your post to the website owner. Once it gets posted, continue your discussions there.
Pros and Cons
Once you start guest posting, you will be able to put links to your site inside that post or maybe, through an author resource box. Fill proper anchor texts and link back to your site (However, never spam the website with links, if this happens, the webmaster may never accept your guest post at the first place). This will automatically congregate you some visitors. Moreover, you will also get some valuable backlinks to your website.
The best part is that the traffic you get through guest posting is invaluable. You basically hijack the traffic of an already established website of your niche and you are given the opportunity of turning them to your regular reader as well. Also, Google loves in-content links these days, so, you will get plenty of link juice.
There is not a particular disadvantage to Guest Posting in general. It is a tried and tested method of effective link building. The only con may be that you need to write a unique content for each guest post unlike article directories where the same article can be republished in several of them. However, if you ask me, I won't call it a disadvantage. I personally own a discount coupon blog that gives away many coupon codes such as psprint gift code, diamonds USA coupon etc.
For promotional purpose of the same, I write some articles and published all of them into article directories. Well, many of those articles got syndicated into other websites (They were of good quality after all) and I saw some traffic as well. However, when I started guest posting into other blogs, the results were marvelous. Not only that I was getting at least 10 times more traffic than that of article directories, most of the visitors from those guest posts were genuinely interested in my blog and I basically created a loyal reader base.
So, as we saw above Guest Posting is way better than Article Directory Marketing. Though article directory marketing might generate you traffic, it will never give you a solid reputation or a returning user base. Through guest posting, you will be able to build backlinks with websites that are related to yours. Moreover, it could really establish you on the scene.

The "Achilles" Type Freighter is a space vessel of unknown class manufactered by Luigi Mendoza et Cle at Zanzibar Station orbiting Deneb IV.
Designed primarily for moving cargo between stations, the "Achilles" Type Freighter has no atmospheric capability and generally stays outside a station while it's cargo modules are transferred by tender to and from the station's cargo bays.
Known VesselsEdit
- Achilles: The Achilles was an Earth Alliance freighter. In 2258, the Achilles detected Raiders heading toward Babylon 5 in Grid Epsilon. The Achilles sent out a distress call, which was answered by Babylon 5. The Achilles was left alone, when the Delta Squadron arrived, because the attack was a diversion against Babylon 5. [1]
- Dionysus: The Dionysus was an Earth Alliance transport. In 2260, the Dionysus was on a holding pattern near Babylon 5 for two hours. [2]
- Red Star 9: In 2262 Red Star 9 was delivering a shipment of illegal supplies to the Drazi homeworld, when it was destroyed by Centauri warships under Drakh control. No one survived except the pilot Brannagan, who ejected in an escape pod.[3]
- Valjean: In 2266, Dureena Nafeel was a passenger on the Valjean when it docked at Babylon 5.[4]
- Unnamed Transport: Captained by David Slayner. In 2259, Lyta Alexander hired Slayner's ship to take her from Mars to Vorlon space. Taking her as far as the border of the Vorlon Empire, 10 days from the nearest Jumpgate began sending out a continuous signal inviting the Vorlons to appear. After three days the Vorlons still hadn't shown so Slayner decided to turn back. At which point, Lyta commandeered a life pod in exchange for the last of her money and ejected into space, leaving her there with only five days of air, food and water. Slayner would eventually send an account of his journey to IPX.[5][6]
Behind the ScenesEdit
- The Achilles was one of several variant designs based around a handful of common, reconfigurable parts. In this case, the ship was assembled by Mark Kochinski from tubular sections originally built by Ron Thornton for the tanker that appeared in ("Midnight on the Firing Line"), a recoloured bridge section that was also common to the Earthforce One and Hyperion class heavy cruiser models with the addition of cargo pods modelled by Kochinski himself.[7]

Gallery: San Francisco: 10 Hot Chocolates We Love
Hot Chocolate at Baker and Banker
Baker and Banker's hot chocolate ($3) is the ideal accompaniment to one of their decadent treats like the softball sized Pecan Sticky Buns. That's because there is a high milk to chocolate ratio, resulting in a creamy, almost refreshingly chocolaty drink. Though it's not watery by any means, it's a good choice of hot chocolate for those who want to drink their sweets and eat them too.
Baker and Banker:1701 Octavia Street San Francisco, CA 94109 (map); 415-351-2500; bakerandbanker.com
Spiced Hot Chocolate at Tcho
TCHO is serious about chocolate and all parts of the chocolate-making process. They go beyond fair trade practices to educate farmers and ensure transparency as the chocolate goes from bean to bar. But do good intentions translate to good hot chocolate? Here it certainly does. Each cup ($3) is intensely chocolaty, with a thick "this feels like a melted candy bar" richness. The cinnamon flavor is prominent and helps relieve the otherwise overpowering richness of the chocolate. This is a cup that's definitely meant to be drunk on its own, marshmallow free.
Tcho:Green Street Pier 17, San Francisco, CA 94111 (map); (415) 981-0189; tcho.com
Hot Chocolate at XOX Truffles
There is something wonderful about ordering a hot chocolate ($3) at XOX Truffles and watching your drink come together. First the chocolate syrup is poured into your cup, then the milk is frothed, then the milk is mixed into the cup by hand, using an adorably small wire whisk. The result is a very light and frothy hot chocolate, but one that still has a strong, complex chocolate flavor. As a bonus, each cocoa comes with a free truffle of your choice. (Trust me, choose Spicy Cayenne Tequila).
XOX Truffles:
754 Columbus Avenue San Francisco, CA 94133 (map); 415-421-4814; xoxtruffles.com
Hot and Spicy Extra Dark Hot Chocolate at Cocoabella
Beyond their expansive collection of chocolates, this pristine little shop sells hot chocolate for adults. Made to order with deliciously chocolaty cocoa powder, you can choose between white, milk, dark, and extra dark. Those in the know go for Extra Dark Hot and Spicy ($4). This cocoa is full bodied and creamy, especially when made with whole milk. The spice seems mellow at first, but after a few sips it gains a throat-tingling warmth. A final hint of bitterness balances out notes of vanilla.
Cocoabella: 2102 Union Street, San Francisco, CA (map)
415-931-6213 www.cocoabella.com
Hot Chocolate at Réveille Coffee Company
If you're lucky enough to stumble onto the Reveille Coffee Company truck, stop immediately. The truck is dedicated to high quality coffee, and their hot chocolate ($3.50) follows suit. It's more bitter than most hot chocolates and it has an extra creamy, thick pour of milk that would make Blue Bottle baristas proud. This combination of deep flavor and well steamed milk makes it the perfect option for coffee lovers who want a break from lattes.
Réveille Coffee Company: For locations call 415-789-6258 or follow @reveillecoffee on Twitter; reveillecoffee.com
European Drinking Chocolate at Boulette's Larder
If you're looking for a traditional European hot chocolate, head over to Boulette's Larder. To start, they keep their hot chocolate simmering away in a copper double boiler, waiting to be ladled out into dainty cups. The hot chocolate ($5) is the thickest I've found—you actually need to lick your teeth clean between every sip. But the chocolate is perfect: a balance of sweet and bitter, incredibly rich but not cloying or sludgy. The only problem I have is that they don't sell churros for dunking.
Boulette's Larder:1 Ferry Building # 48 San Francisco, CA 94111 (map); 415-399-1155; bouletteslarder.com
Hazelnut Hot Chocolate at Christopher Elbow
Christopher Elbow's artisanal chocolates are available in chocolate shops around the city, but there is one good reason to head down to Hayes Valley to visit his signature shop: the substantial menu of "liquid chocolate." The hot chocolate comes in flavors ranging from Chinese 5 Spice to Passion Fruit to 85% Dark Chocolate, and while most are good, I'd recommend trying the Hazelnut Hot Chocolate ($4.50). The chocolate is extra dark, with a pleasant bitterness that is rounded out by the richness of the hazelnut. Unlike many flavored hot chocolates, this isn't overly sweet or artificial tasting. Fans of Nutella will definitely approve.
Christopher Elbow:
401 Hayes Street San Francisco, CA 94102 (map) 415-355-1105 elbowchocolates.com
Rich Hot Chocolate at Butter Love Bakeshop
The problem with Butter Love Bakeshop's hot chocolate ($3) is that it's over-the-top delicious, but as of yet the shop has no brick and mortar store. Thick and milk chocolaty, this hot chocolate is exactly what you want to snuggle down with when it's cold outside. Esa Yonn-Brown's homemade vanilla marshmallows make the perfect topping: they're thick and pillowy, sweet and tinged with hot chocolate nostalgia.
Butter Love Bakeshop: Visit butterlovebakshop.com to find locations and for order information.
Hot Chocolate at Arlequin Cafe
I took one sip of this hot chocolate and said to myself, "Mmm. Brownies." A second sip confirmed that this cocoa ($2.75) tastes uncannily like brownie batter. The secret to the warm and fudgy flavor might be in the heavy pour of syrup—I saw that almost one quarter of my cup was filled with chocolate syrup, much more than other pours I've seen. Don't think I'm complaining—after watery or frustratingly weak hot chocolate, it's nice to get one that's sweet, rich, and tastes like cocoa.
Arlequin Café: 384 Hayes St # B San Francisco, CA 94102 (map); 415-626-1211; arlequincafe.com
Hot Chocolate at Leonidas Chocolate
There are times when you want hot chocolate that doesn't fall into the current trend toward grown-up cups that are bitter or spiced. Sometimes you want good old milky cocoa, not saccharine, but comforting. Leonidas sells this hot chocolate ($2.85) that's just the ticket. Their cocoa is made with actual chocolate chips and has a strong but not sharp chocolate flavor. It's a good hot chocolate for the young at heart.
Leonidas Chocolates:
50 Post Street San Francisco, CA 94104 (map); 415-956-2338; www.delicechocolate.com

One of my closest friends in Australia Chyka just so happens to be a ridiculously talented cook and caterer. She and her husband Bruce own Australia's finest (no, I'm not biased) catering company - The Big Group.
Not surprisingly even the most casual meal at their place is extraordinary. Barbecues in their backyard are one of my favourite ways to spend a day - sipping Pimm's, laughing at one of Bruce's stories and enjoying food that looks way too good to eat.
One staple at every BBQ is this delicious Spinach Dip.
3 packets of frozen spinach, thawed
600g tinned water chestnuts, chopped
1 bunch spring onions
1 carton vegetable soup
3 cups sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
Drain spinach and put in a bowl. Chop the water chestnuts and spring onions and add to the spinach. Mix all the ingredients together. It's that simple...

Have you ever noticed the cool designs you see on the underside of a mushroom? Each one is unique and different. You can use mushrooms and paint to create some fun mushroom prints. Here's how.
Collect the following materials: poster paint, paintbrushes, some shiny paper, a piece of cardboard or newspaper and of course, mushrooms.
Remember, that some mushrooms you find in nature are poisonous. So be careful and make sure to wash your hands when you're done…or you can use store bought portabellas.
First, break off the stem of your mushroom. You may also want to remove some of the outer cap of the mushroom if it's covering up the gills. Now, take your poster paint and paintbrush and paint the gills of your mushroom. You can use one color or multiple colors…you just need to make sure you have enough brushes for each color.
It's time to make your first print. Hold the painted mushroom, cap side down, over the paper where you want your print, and set it down gently. Now lightly press down on the mushroom to transfer the paint. You can probably get about two or three prints per coat of paint.
The design from the mushroom's gills creates an amazing design. Keep adding more prints to make a painting. You can cut some of the mushrooms into quarters to make different designs. Keep on going until you have a colorful creation that you can show off to your friends.

Recently Google announced support for Zero Touch Provisioning. The announcement understandably generated quite a bit of excitement throughout the industry and especially among MobileIron customers. We've always felt that, although we've made leaps and bounds over the years in simplifying the Android enrollment process, there has always been "room for improvement." Zero Touch Provisioning is the hallmark of a new era in Android device security, since it makes enrollment into an EMM simple and intuitive.
How it works
With Google's new "ZTP" feature, when devices are purchased by an organization through an approved reseller, IMEI's or serial numbers are transmitted to the Android Zero Touch Portal. An approved admin can then assign a configuration to the device, for instance, directing a device to enroll with a pre-populated username to MobileIron Cloud or Core. An Over-The-Air enrollment will occur on brand new devices or after a device has been reset to factory defaults. Admins can also decide whether Google's system apps will appear on a device and streamline the onboarding process by reducing the number of steps needed to enroll a device.
Image Courtesy: https://www.android.com/enterprise/management/zero-touch/
Devices that register with ZTP become fully managed and owned by the organization, which means that admins have greater control over the devices and heightened capabilities like the option to deploy apps silently or create kiosks on the device.
Today, Zero Touch Enrollment is supported on Google Pixel and Pixel 2 devices running Android 7.0 or newer. We're also beginning to see resellers and OEM partners announce support for the new standard for 8.0 devices, with Huawei recently announcing support for the Mate 10 and Sony for the Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact. Not all Android 8.0 devices support Zero Touch, so be sure to check with the manufacturer or with Google to see if they will be supporting this important new capability.
For the latest list of approved resellers and devices and instructions on how to participate in Zero Touch Provisioning, please be sure to check out these links from Google:
https://www.android.com/enterprise/management/zero-touch/ https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/7514005
Want to learn more?
MobileIron customers can take advantage of materials published to our Community portal and check out a video overview in our Zero Touch Provisioning Guide.
We'd also recommend checking out this article from bayton.org which includes a video demonstrating Zero Touch enrollment of a Sony device on MobileIron Core. Zero Touch provisioning is supported today on both MobileIron Cloud and Core.

But after Muller dropped the opener in a tiebreaker, he was broken in the third game of the second set."I had to be focused until the last point. I had a lot of break points, but Gilles was serving really well," Bautista Agut said.The final features players going for their second titles of the year.The 18th-ranked Bautista Agut won his third career title last month in Auckland."It is the best start to a season that I have ever had," he said.Troicki also won his third career title on the same day, in Sydney.

Head Games
Man, we love our football in Wisconsin.
Autumn and winter without the Badgers and Packers is difficult to imagine.
More than a game, these teams bind us as a community in ways politicians will never, ever be able to do.
But Saturdays and Sundays now require some serious thinking from fans. Perhaps even action. There is a truth we cannot dodge. As great as the game is for those who watch, it is dangerously damaging to those who play it.
Of course football has always had danger. That is its appeal. There is speed and mass and testosterone.
Any guy who ever played remembers the heightened adrenaline in the locker room, with the noise of the fans outside, the cleats echoing on the cement floor, your own breathing amplified inside your helmet. Sitting on that bench in those minutes before the game, wrapped in your gear and colors, you know that during the next two hours you will be hurt. Not necessarily injured, but bumped, bruised, shoved, pushed and flattened. Most plays, you get back up.
But the game of football has changed because the physics have been altered. The players are bigger, faster, more muscular and better trained. The turf allows for more velocity. The gear is lighter and sleeker. And so the collisions have more impact.
Mass plus velocity is an unalterable equation.
Although knees and backs and shoulders get hurt in the game of football, it is the brain damage that is the crisis for the sport. The players we loved to watch are displaying terrible damage—damage that is not always evident during their playing careers.
Madison has had a ringside seat for this growing national story. Our own Al Toon, a remarkable athlete and man, was one of the first brain trauma victims in the new era of football to draw national attention to the problem. Later, Mike Webster's sad, early death sounded further alarm. Now athletes we watched on Sundays only five years ago are exhibiting shocking neurological disabilities or deaths today.
In the short term, this isn't going to get better. It is going to get worse. Because the players of the new era, an era of year-round training and diet, are just entering retirement. More mass. More velocity. Greater impact.
So what can fans do? Simple. Support change. Don't grouse over tighter controls on cheap hits. Encourage rule and equipment improvements that make the game safer at the grade school, high school, college and professional levels.
Encourage better thinking from all. Not all football people are smart. Shun fans who amazingly still cheer when an opposing player is injured. Curb the blood lust of the fat guy next to you, or the ignorant youth football coach. Appreciate the game for its grace, skill, teamwork, sweat, complexity and beauty as much as for its violence.
And help those who own the game understand that we want improvements to protect those who play it. They are more than just names on our fantasy roster. We like a lot of these guys. We know them. They have to be protected in the sport they play. In some cases they have to be protected from themselves.
Over coffee, I asked a retired college and NFL player if any solutions exist. He offered a subtle, smart suggestion: Make the turf longer. It would slow the game and soften impact. It wouldn't stop all injuries, but it would reduce velocity. There will be more ideas like this.
Football is our most watchable, profitable sport. The masters of the game—those who run the NFL, specifically—are capable of incredible arrogance. ESPN and the networks tremble when the NFL clears its throat, because that rumble is the sound of billions of dollars. But that entertainment, drama and joy is created by the players on the field, not gyrating coaches on headsets, old owners in luxury boxes or league executives in bad suits. Some of these guys have dodged the problem long enough.
In this crisis, there is opportunity. Fans have money and power they can leverage. They should use them for the good of the players. We aren't Romans and this ain't no Colosseum.
A good fan, a smart fan, will use that power to protect those who play the game we love and the future of the game itself.
And in that way, each fan becomes a star.

Wuzzon is proud to introduce a new colleague to the lively Wuzzon team: Samer Al Adib.
What is Samer's role in the Wuzzon team?
Samer is responsible for Digital Media Buying and is part of the Cost Per Install (CPI) team. He buys direct media through our own sources as well as media buying partners, builds and maintains relations with publishers, advertisers, and media buying partners. With his analytical mindset, he creates, monitors, and optimises CPI campaigns in order to assure high quality traffic, with a higher engagement, and less costs.
A little something about Samer:
Samer is 30 years young, born in Syria, and lives in Amsterdam Noord. He loves to perform and chat about sports such as football, table tennis, and chess. Samer is good at optimising results, photoshopping, cuddling with his kittens, and drinking Argentinian Mate-tea. He is working on improving his posture when sitting behind his desk, biking through Amsterdam without seriously harming tourists, and staying in touch with a diverse, international group of people. Samer would like to fly with ducks in the future, and improve conversions with CPI traffic!
Samer aimed to work at Wuzzon for multiple reasons, amongst which learning more about the Dutch business work culture. He admires the level of honesty that is brought to the work floor and the trust that comes with it. This works well, since trust is one of Wuzzon's 5 key points!
Samer's welcome words:
"I have worked at Wuzzon for three months now and I feel at home in the Wuzzon team. The team is a strong, dedicated family that tackles problems as a unit. I have learned an vast amount of information in the last few months about affiliation as well as advertising on mobile. I enjoy the morning stand-up at Wuzzon, because it gives us the opportunity to understand and tackle the struggles of others and praise accomplishments. what the other is working on. Thus we can help each other and provide advice in order to work efficiently and positively. "

An off-the-grid fashion show on Monday, held at the Wally Findlay Gallery in New York, was the perfect setting for designer Michael Vollbracht to merge his two raisons d'etre: his tastefully feminine duds and his languid palette-knife paintings. His new "Ladies Painted" collection, which lined the walls of the space the models drifted in and out of, will open to the public tomorrow following a bash at the gallery this evening. And while "Ladies Painted" represents Vollbracht's official New York premiere, Findlay's Palm Beach staged an another exhibition, "Ladies and Gentle Beasts," at the end of last year. "They've been selling my paintings for a while now," said Vollbracht, as he hugged well-wishers after his fashion show. "That's how I eat."

Small solar energy producers face cut in rate
THE National Energy Policy Committee yesterday agreed to reduce the tariff for small solar energy producers.
The new tariff will be Bt4.12 per kilowatt-hour (unit) for a purchase period of 25 years. The previous price was Bt5.66 per kilowatt-hour. Developers in the Southern border provinces will get a Bt0.50/unit premium.
The Energy Regulatory Commission will work with involved agencies to set targets in line with the Alternative Energy Development Plan 2015 and submit them to the NEPC.
The NEPC, chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, also acknowledged the latest results from PTTnegotiations which called for a 20 per cent reduction in the price it pays Shell Eastern Trading and BP Singapore for liquefied natural gas. The reduction will reduce the payments to Shell, during its 15-year contract, and BP's 20-year-contract by a combined total of Bt115 billion.
Chevron's Thai unit holds concessions to operate the Erawan gas field, while PTTEP operates the Bongkot gas field. The two have combined production of 2.2 billion cubic feet per day, or 76 per cent of output in the Gulf of Thailand. The concessions are due to expire in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

Is the update currently being pushed?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Folks,
We know many of you are waiting anxiously for the Android M update on the Note 5 & S6/Edge devices. The update was delayed because of a bug Samsung discovered during testing.
We will post a revised timeline once the OEM submits a new build.
Any word on exactly when on the 16th the note 5 marshmallow update is supposed to hit...? 3:30 pm and still waiting...
I agree with you @silentace7. Still waiting too. Come on telus
What's the point of this page if the dates displayed are meaningless. Earlier today the note 5 showed due to receive marshmallow today. Now it's been pushed back once again to the 25th. Might as well put coming soon to all of them.
This is ridiculous. I bought a Nexus 6 cause it gets updated quickly. Then a warranty issue pops up and I'm sent the Note 5. It's a nice phone but cripes I had a Nexus cause I liked the updates and now you guys can't get your act together. It's total bs. How the heck do you delay the release again on the day it's set to roll out and you wait till 5pm to announce that. Get your freakin act together!
Hello Neighbours!
We know you're eagerly awaiting this update and definitely hear you.
While we try our best to ensure updates align as closely to the target date as possible, circumstances can sometimes arise that might see these dates being pushed back or delayed altogether.
We spoke to the product team about the current status and the good news is that the update is still happening - March 25th, tentative - while the bad is that it's been slightly pushed back from the original target.
If we receive any further news regarding this update, we'll share it with you here!

Note 5 goes from March 9th, to March 16th, go March 25th. At this rate Android N will be on Nexus devices before the Note gets M. I'm going back to Nexus for my next device for sure.
I understand the circumstances arise that cause updates to be pushed back, but there is no reason for the amount of delays in this case. Going from March 9 to 13 to 16 to 25 is simply unacceptable. I would be perfectly fine with a later date, say if the 16th had been the first date announced. In that case the delay to the 25 would of been hard, but acceptable. How this has been handled with the update being pushed back in the middle of the day, and no explanation is unacceptable.
Rogers and Bell are in the same boat. No release date. Samsung is well known for delaying updates because of bugs. Rogers doesn't even have a scheduled release date listed for any Samsung device currently.
With all repect there needs to be a date set and stick to it with a working update. This is the fourth change of date for this Note 5. First the 9th, 13th, 16th and now MAYBE the 25th. This is frustrating. No one can say this update was fine yesterday and not working today. I don't believe it will happen the 25th at this point. I don't know if it a telus issue or a Samsung issue, but it seems someone doesn't have their act together and it reflects poorly on both.
Maybe Telus should reset the date to coming soon. People like myself are frustrated because our expectations are being poorly managed. Better just to get a surprise update on our screens and have iphone guys joke about the poor schedule of updates on Android phones than to be resetting dates again and again and again and again. If we have a note 5 we have a premium device and are paying premium dollars for our plans. We expect and deserve better than this.
I agree with Paul. Since TELUS or Samsung are having problem delivering updates per their schedules, they should just say "Coming soon", or abandoning the whole concept of having a schedule. I do also understand that things don't always go as planned, but when you're pushing back an update for the THIRD time, don't embarass yourself by giving another date. People will just stop believing...
Please stop crushing our expectations!

A Kron, I appreciate the update but the disappointment is palpable.
You've got to understand that going from March 9 to March 25 by way of 3 or 4 extensions to what is now "Delayed" is just not sitting right with us. From all that is read and you guys published before, Samsung would ready the update after which Telus would review and test it with another Samsung update and Telus review. Why would Samsung still be finding bugs if its this close to release? What about the numerous carriers who have already pushed out the update? We're not hearing about massive failures around the globe, so why would this only be for the Canadian variant? Why not fix it ASAP post update with a much smaller bug fix or security update push? Yes, I get that software is notoriously difficult to deliver perfectly and on schedule, but this here seems like too much is done too late.
The problem is that we're completely losing faith in any of these posted dates. Again, I appreciate it that Telus wanted us to have a date that we could count on, as opposed to other carriers not even publishing it, but by now I'm I feel like I've worked through Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' 5 stages of grief enough times. And it's when you hit that 5th one, and accept that Telus and Samsung are not serious about keeping this schedule, that we consider joining Wind Mobile using our antiquated iPhone 4's. That horror, is at least one of our own making.
So, now the Note 5 Marshmallow update is "delayed" with no date given because Samsung found a "bug" in the software that has been available since October 2015 (I'm sure they had their development version earlier) for a device that has been on the market since August 2015. I struggle to see how the delays can be justified. This should have been available a long time ago. As consumers, we pay a lot of money to the carriers for these devices and should be able to have timely updates (security and functionality). Very disappointed in both Samsung and Telus.
@IT_Dave , as a consumer you should also be aware of what you're buying. What was released in October 2015 was the plain, stock version of Android. Samsung uses a heavily modified version of Android to enable all the features and Samsung crap they cram in there. Those heavy modifications add a lot of bugs. Some they catch before they release it, many afterwards. Samsung has a long documented history of delaying updates for devices in many countries due to bugs. Normally they are 4-6 months behind Nexus devices as are many other device manufacturers.
Note 5 now delayed ??? nkjfdsnhfjjikerunfgiwentuivefkcekdsjkfer !!! Too frustrated for words.
I bought a note 5 thinking marshmallow was already available on March 16th. I had read it would be available on the 9th. Now after seeing all these delays which have been going on all month. Come on telus get it together, the g3 shouldn't be updated before the note
Unfortunately, for those of you who may not be aware, pushing updates is not as simple as copying a file to a server and pushing a button.
Once Google provides the updated code to the phone maker, they go through it with fine toothed comb, add in their specific add-ons (except Nexus) then test and test and test. When they feel it's ready, they push to each of their OEM's like Telus, Rogers and Bell. All of this is controlled by Country obligations (India got M first, no idea why but they did), regional OEM (AT&T, Telus, Orange etc) and by things like volume sales and so forth.
Once Telus gets their hands on it, they go through it with fine toothed comb, add in their specific add-ons (except Nexus) then test and test and test (again). If anything comes up, it's back to square one. Fix it, then then test and test and test. Now imagine that this has to happen for ALL the devices that are identified as recipients by the manufacturers (HTC, LG, Samsung, Kyocera, etc). Resources are not limitless (although that's a seperate arguement altogether).
Now that all the testing is done, the scheduling begins, again perhaps the contractual obligations come into play (or not) however each scheduled device has a deployment date (usually includes a claw back period in case something nasty comes out that wasn't found in testing. Rare but it happens). And each device goes through the process.
So, for all of you raising concerns about why a device date was missed by a day or two or telling a service provider to "get your freakin act together", realize that you are part of a much larger project and your specific device may or may not be high up on the global deployment plan. Nobody is going to die if the upgrade takes a day or a week or a month longer. Chill out and be surprised when it does arrive. Just like Xmas only better.
Actually, Paul333 yes, they can. Samsung may have found something, another vendor may have found something, all sorts of reasons why.
I just got the update when I went to software update and clicked on check for update. I know it said tomorrow but here it is for the Note 5:

Moving from the back of the bus to the driver's seat
I entered the MEST program in August 2009 among eighteen other Entrepreneurs in Training (EITs), right after graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana. Before joining MEST, I had the opportunity to work with some very well known organizations here in Ghana, but ultimately chose to become involved with MEST for the following reasons:
- I had found something more inspiring than accounting: software!
- I wanted an opportunity to impact my community with my own innovation.
- I was looking for an environment where I could develop personally and professionally.
We (MEST Class of 2011) have come this far and I am proud of how we have developed individually after working together at MEST for a year now. In my first semester, things ran smoothly despite challenges for EITs with non-technical backgrounds who were new to the concept of programming, It was similar for folks from technical backgrounds who were also new to the concept of international business and entrepreneurship. Despite by background in Business Administration, I was proud to quickly pick up concepts in programming languages such as PHP and Java, eventually able to assist my classmates on programming-related questions.
Beyond programming skills, my first year also helped to further develop my business skills – particularly related to leadership. Towards the end of my first year, I was given responsibility to be the team lead on a class project. The task was challenging but straight-forward: take an ordinary idea, validate the idea as a viable business, build a prototype and finally pitch the idea and prototype to visiting business executives from around the world.
I had not led a team before, not to mention a team charged with delivering a high-level business pitch! I'm very shy by nature and prefer to be "behind the scenes," so you can imagine that this was certainly out of my comfort zone.
I'm proud to say that, while it was a bumpy road, I learned some valuable lessons I want to share with you:
- The team is responsible for delivering a final product, but the team lead should take ultimate responsibility of that product –it is something he or she should be proud of.
- Inviting my team members' contributions turned out to make my work easy. With a range of skill sets, integrating each individual's strengths compliments the process.
- It is important to understand that failure is ok and that you will not always get it right the first time – one must learn from these mistakes and make the final product stronger through the process of trial and error.
- Given the challenges, it's important to have a little fun with your team outside of work! :)
I hope that you found some useful tips in there for your team too, and I'm looking forward to growing through new challenges this coming year at MEST! ;)

Year 1 is an exciting year when we hope that the children's learning really takes off, especially in reading, writing, and number work.
The children feel at home as established members of the school community. They get used to a timetabled day and to taking care of each other and younger members of the school in the play ground and class room, especially younger siblings. Year 1 children begin swimming lessons and have the benefit of special trips including a day at the farm and a joint day with year 2 at the National Gallery. Most importantly, Year 1 pupils continue to enjoy and look forward to their school day. The Year 1 curriculum establishes the basis for the core school subjects for the rest of the children's education at Broomfield. With a strong emphasis on English and Maths, the children cover all the main subjects taught in school using topic work especially to explore Science, History, Geography and Art. The class teacher is closely supported by the Year 1 teaching assistant.
In English, the children extend their reading and writing skills considerably this year. In reading they increase the range and challenge of phonics, incorporating consonant clusters and middle blends. The children progress further through our school reading schemes, being heard two or three times a week at school plus at home with parents twice a week. The children also are inspired to learn through their spelling tests and sentence writing exercises and learn a practical understanding of English grammar and comprehension of texts. The spelling syllabus is aligned with the 2014 National Curriculum. Children's emergent writing is extended to include capital letters and full stops. Some children are beginning to use speech marks. In writing, pencil grip and correct posture are firmly established in Year 1, and the formation of letters in readiness for joined up handwriting is a feature of our work. Children are beginning to produce more structured pieces of free writing developing their spelling strategies and extending their vocabulary. In addition, our English work includes learning and thinking about poetry, limericks and rhyming words, an introduction to myths and legends, and listening to class stories.
In maths, we aim to give children a working knowledge of number up to 100, lots of practice at mental maths and simple everyday number problems. Addition exercises begin to use carrying numbers, and an understanding of tens and units is established. Mathematical symbols are introduced as are the learning of multiplication tables 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x. Shapes are investigated, as are a range of other key topics from time and measure, capacity, fractions, money and data handling. The syllabus is in line with the 2014 National Curriculum.
In science, we focus on parts of the human body, plants, sorting and using materials, light, forces and sound.
In French, children learn to greet people and say their name, as well as introductory vocabulary about food, clothes, colours, the weather and animals. The focus is on speaking and listening through a range of songs and games. The written word is gradually introduced through simple worksheets.
In swimming, the children go to Pools on the Park in Richmond. Under the supervision of our own staff and teachers from Pools on the Park, the Year 1 children learn basic strokes and to be confident and happy in the water. In PE, the children develop their body awareness, with jumping, rolling, stretching, balancing and other exercises.
Music and drama develops in complexity and interest this year, with the children being encouraged to sing short solos in class music lessons as well as poems and shows being a regular feature of Year 1 life. This culminates in the Christmas show as well as the participation by Year 1 in the school Harvest Festival and Poetry Day. In the summer term, the children also present music and drama workshops to their families. Children begin to take instrumental music lessons in school in Year 1, often beginning with piano or recorder. The fruits of their work are celebrated at the Junior Instrumental Concert at school near the end of the Spring Term. In addition, two Year 1 pupils are generally asked to sing a duet solo at one of our school carol concerts at local homes for the elderly.
Art lessons continue to extend children's imagination and creative ability. Their drawing, painting, cutting and sticking skills mature as they work with a greater variety of materials and a wider range of topics. Representational clay modelling begins. Year 1 often visits the National Gallery to look at a selection of paintings.
To support the children's development, we ask parents to read at home regularly with the children as well as supporting the children in their regular maths and spelling homework. Before children enter Year 1 it is essential they get as much practice as possible at the finer points of dressing themselves in their school uniform such as buttons, tying shoe laces and ties. It is also most helpful if parents can spend time with the children colouring in and cutting out to improve their fine motor skills, and in writing all letters of the alphabet and numbers 1-10 to prepare the children for learning in Year 1 The Year 1 classroom is located on the ground floor of the 3 storey section of Harrow House, opposite the drama studio and opening out onto the Kindergarten playground.

There's plenty of reason why an independent Scotland really appeals to me, not the least of which is that the endless Scottish whingeing about Westminster can finally fuck the fuck off. Labour destroyed for the foreseeable future? Well, suck my cock. David Cameron in a lose-lose situation? Cry me a river.
But the truth of it is that the Scots are going to bottle it. It's going to be a narrow No vote. Narrow enough that Alex Salmond is going to claim vindication and carry on banging on to acquire more powers for Alex Salmond.
Useless, desperate Westminster politicians will throw money and power without consequences at Holyrood in a desperate attempt to hang on to their own power.
The hated and despised English will continue to fork out for every fucking thing.
Alex Salmond isn't really interested in independence for Scotland, the hope thereof is his gimmick, his schtick for more power without any responsibility. If the Scots do vote Yes, what's going to be his unique selling point? People may start to look at his policies and start to question them.
He's not prepared fully for the consequences of independence, that's because he doesn't really want it. He's in a powerful position, pandering to the nationalist elements of the Scots, with massive power over what happens but equally no responsibilities and a handy scapegoat if shit goes wrong.
Which politician would want that happy gravy train to reach a destination?
Proof that democracy is a terrible thing shows in the fact that 97% of Scottish people think that the outcome this referendum is going to make their lives better. It's as stupid as people believing that UKIP will be any different to the existing political structure if they get any power.
The worst possible outcome (and therefore the most likely one) is that the No vote squeaks in. The Yes camp will be outraged, calling it a fix. Westminster will be fully cowed, aware that unless they accede to Salmond they will be only one referendum away from losing the thing that will cost them their own power. Everybody else's money will be thrown at the Scots to keep them quiet and Salmond will negotiate himself even more powers with even less accountability.
Ordinary Scots will be no better off than they are now, but the political elite in Holyrood will be much better off and may trumpet their "achievements" to appease the nationalist vote, to keep them on side.
Ultimately, the only true independence is the one where we walk away from the states that control and shepherd us. That will never happen because people are afraid of the responsibility that comes with that.
A small taste of that fear is what will keep Scotland in check. All the No campaign has offered is fear, uncertainty and doubt. It's much more powerful than hope and opportunity.
