Water supplies serving 700,000 at risk from contamination
EPA report identifies 90 public drinking supplies in need of improvement by Irish Water

Almost 90 public drinking supplies serving more than 700,000 people have been classified as "at risk" of threatening human health.
Counties Kerry, Cork and Donegal account for almost half of the 87 "at risk" supplies identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in a water quality review published on Tuesday.
These are categorised as most in need of improvement based on a threat to human health or likelihood of chemical contamination.
The EPA Drinking Water Report for 2016 also states that action programme dates set out by Irish Water to improve 24 "at risk" supplies have slipped.
The EPA identifies 32 supplies at the end of 2016 serving more than 163,000 people in need of adequate treatment to prevent cryptosporidium occurring in water. It is a microscopic parasite that often causes severe gastrointestinal illness when it gets into supplies, though it is easy to remove in water treatment works by use of filters and, in some instances, ultra-violet light.
The report also highlights high levels of disinfection by-products in supplies; persistent pesticide failures in some supplies, and a continuing incidence of lead pipe connections in public networks and private houses.
The agency issued 41 "boil water notices" during 2016, affecting supplies for more than 84,000 people.
Remedial action undertaken by Irish Water, which is responsible for providing and developing public water services, reduced the areas where notices were required to 10 supplies by the end of the year, affecting 5,654 people.
Water consumption
The report says "the overall quality of drinking water in public supplies remains high though further improvements are necessary to improve the security of supplies" and to avoid restrictions on water consumption.
Drinking water testing throughout 2016 confirmed a very high level of compliance with microbiological (99.9 per cent) and chemical standards (99.5 per cent), indicating the majority of water supplies are safe. Only three supplies were found to contain E. coli bacteria which can cause debilitating illness.
The report sets out key priorities for Irish Water. These include minimising the harmful disinfection by-product known as Trihalomethane (THM) arising in water by providing treatment that adequately removes organic matter in water.
It says the utility should ensure the elimination of long-term boil notices "by providing robust disinfection systems".
The EPA also seeks the implementation of a national plan to eliminate pesticides in drinking water, as well as the elimination of lead piping in water networks.
Irish Water should be managing risks to all 904 public water supplies serving 1.3 million households by adopting "drinking water safety plans" in each case, it says. Such an approach "identifies problems before they become a risk", explained the EPA's senior drinking water inspector Darragh Page.
Microbiological standards
Irish public water supplies were among the best in Europe in meeting microbiological standards but below the EU average for chemical standards, notably THM, he said.
A total of 15 "directions" were issued to Irish Water by the EPA in 2016. These arise where the agency is notified of a water quality failure but is unhappy with the investigation of the cause, or with actions being taken. In such cases the agency sets out what needs to be done.
Gerard O'Leary, director of the EPA's office of environmental enforcement, welcomed the overall improvement in water supplies but confirmed boil water notices were still in force in areas across nine counties.
"While the removal of long-term boil water notices in supplies like the Whitegate regional supply in Cork and Loughrea public water supply in Galway in 2016 was welcome, there remains over 3,600 people on a boil water notice today."
The EPA's "remedial action lists" are available at epa.ie/pubs/reports/water/drinking/

Speculative Albums
Albums for which early rumors have started to surface but no concrete details have been given. Nevertheless, we are hopeful to hear them in 2013.
Abe Vigoda
It's been almost three years since Cali Punks Abe Vigoda had their last reinvention. After starting out as The Smell's resident tropical influenced band, Abe Vigoda ditched those island influences for the gothic recesses of synthy post punk. With all this ADD genre jumping, you might imagine that the band hasn't quite found their own sound yet, but they have this way of owning whatever corners of indie rock they squeeze themselves into. As of February of last year, the band was in the process of writing their next record so one might imagine, given the recent dearth of live dates that they're hard at work on the latest incarnation of their sound. It seems pretty likely that we'll see something from them this year.
– Colin Joyce
Arctic Monkeys
After testing out their pop chops on Suck It And See, the lairy lads from Sheffield are returning to the Joshua Tree desert for album number five. In case you've forgotten, the desert was the spawning ground for the perpetually underappreciated Humbug back in 2009. The Monkeys have built up some solid intra-album buzz, collecting no small amount of goodwill thanks to the success of last year's one-off single "R U Mine?". With a series of festival dates already confirmed and the band's well-established reputation for prolificacy, a summer release seems likely.
– Brendan Frank
Bradford Cox's prolificacy is already the stuff of modern legend, and with good reason – see the release of Atlas Sound's four volume Bedroom Databank series within about a year of both of his most recent solo outings for a particularly clear example of his output level. Between the main band, Atlas Sound, and Lockett Pundt's solo project, Lotus Plaza, there hasn't been a year since 2007 (!) without at least one Deerhunter-affiliated release, and I'd wager that 2013 will be no different. New material could very well take the form of a new Atlas Sound release or a debut from Cox and Cole Alexander's Ghetto Cross project, but, given that Microcastle and Halcyon Digest are still some of my most revisited records, I'm holding out hope for a new Deerhunter record. Please.
– Ryan Stanley
Eminem – TBA
Oh, Marshall. It's been a hard road for longtime Eminem fans, to hear their ringleader silenced, only to witness a return dependent on accents, and then worse, bells, whistles, and a Rihanna hook. For all intents and purposes, it seems like the real Slim Shady sat down quite some time ago. Yet, as the gears begin grinding in support of LP #8, a spot of promise looms: no one knows, in the least, what it will sound like. Glimmers of hope remain: just check out his verse on the already infamous Shady Cypher with his label mates: Mathers literally envelops all other comers. Rumors abound of his despising the pop Jimmy Iovine "forced" down his throat do battle with rumors that he's only journeyed farther down commercial lanes. In truth, Em has been typically quiet, letting nothing on aside from that fact that is happening. Maybe those weighty words on 50 Cent's "My Life" are true: 'he wishes he'd never made Recovery.' So do we, and I can only hope Slim has found his voice again. One thing is certain: no matter what he does, everyone will be listening.
– Chase McMullen
Kanye West
Kanye's been busy. Since his last solo album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (the first, and only album (so far) to be rewarded a perfect 100% score by BPM on initial release, and our 2010 album of the year), he's released an album with his idol Jay-Z, and a compilation for his own record imprint G.O.O.D. Music. On the side he launched his own fashion line, released another shoe with Nike, started dating Kim Kardashian, and well, got her pregnant.
So things have been looking up for Mr. West since the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, prior to the release of which he was dealing with the death of his mother and the isolating Taylor Swift incident. Still, that's no reason to dismiss the chances of the polarizing and prolific producer turned emcee dropping another classic album.
Plus, he's purchased the rights to TNGHT's original version of "Higher Ground," entitled "R U Ready?," so why wouldn't you be excited?
There's also talks of a Cruel Summer follow-up called Cruel Winter but if it comes out at all we'll probably be waiting til Cruel Spring.
– Evan Kaloudis
Los Campesinos!
Los Campesinos! officially brought an end to their Hello Sadness era with a Christmas blowout gig last month. The band will now get their heads down and work on their new album, sadly this time without bassist and original member Ellen, but it's not as if losing a member is something new for the Welsh troupe. What the album will sound like can be somewhat surmised; the band has grown out of the tweeness of their early releases, but the raucous nature and cheeky attitude has never left them (evidenced daily by Gareth Campesinos' highly amusing twitter feed) so we can expect to hear more of that on LP5. Whether it will be a sprawling epic like Romance Is Boring, a more concise release like Hello Sadness or somewhere in between, there are almost guaranteed to be tracks that will get you hopping around madly sitting comfortably alongside gutwrenching tracks that make you choke into your drink – and we can't wait.
– Rob Hakimian
It's been three years since Spoon released their last album, Transference, and while we loved last year's release from Britt Daniel's new band Divine Fits, there are certain idiosyncrasies to Spoon's sound that we're not going to get anywhere else. In his recent Reddit AMA Daniel told us that he was hopeful that he and Spoon's co-mastermind Jim Eno would be getting together in February to start discussing ideas for a new album. It's a long way short of confirming that there will be a new album in 2013, but if sparks of brilliance and inspiration fly when they reconvene, you never know what they might be able to produce before the year draws to a close.

Despite the gentrification of its core over the past decade, Winston-Salem is still a sleepy Southern town on a summer Sunday evening. I get off the highway at Martin Luther King Drive and make my way to Trade Street, a five-block stretch, without passing more than a few scattered pedestrians. The white folks outside the bar on the corner don't seem to realize this place is about to become ground zero for America's 21st-century civil rights struggle.
But they know something is stirring — at least, they do if they're anything like the other white folks I've been talking to in North Carolina's Piedmont this weekend. Twenty miles north, where I grew up, the Southern Baptist church was astir with stories about the caravan of pick-up trucks that rode proudly before the senior citizens' front porch rockers, spilling a stream of Confederate flags across the landscape they oversee. They weren't even sure what had given rise to this display, but it felt ominous to them.
Back on Trade Street, I see both sides of the street lined with cars that have spilled out of the Union Baptist Church parking lot. A young African-American police officer stands at the corner, not directing the crowd but watching it, like the overseers on their porches in the county. This isn't a normal Sunday evening beat for him either. What's a white man in a minivan doing at Winston-Salem's largest black church?
Some answers are on the evening news: on Monday, July 13, the case of the NC NAACP vs. McCrory (North Carolina's sitting governor) is scheduled to open in federal court. "Winston-Salem is our Selma," says North Carolina NAACP President, Dr. William J. Barber, II. His organization is suing the state because a piece of legislation signed by the governor in 2013 — HB 589 — gives black and poor people in North Carolina less access to the franchise than they had on August 6, 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act.
But a court case alone doesn't stir up a sleepy Southern town on a Sunday evening. To see what's happening in Winston-Salem, we must go inside the sanctuary of the Union Baptist Church. But this is harder than it sounds. Though, as I said, it's the largest black church in town — a sanctuary that easily seats 1,200 — a peek through the windows at the back reveals that it's standing room only. I stand against the back wall with a dozen ushers, scanning the crowd to see who is here. Many are locals, meeting for the first time the Moral Movement family. But the faithful are there too, from across the state. I see a retired doctor from Chatham County, a minister from Greensboro, an agrarian from outside of Charlotte. I recognize student activists from NCA&T and North Carolina Central. Since the mid-2000s this coalition of justice-loving people has been working together to build power for a new kind of politics in the South. These are the people who got North Carolina to vote for Barack Obama in 2008 — not because he was the Democratic candidate (N.C. hadn't gone blue in half a century), but because he promised change we could believe in.
The people in this room know, though almost no news outlet has been able to get it, that the onslaught of regressive policies in North Carolina since 2010 are a direct and concerted backlash against our grassroots organizing. The millions of dollars in mystery money that poured into state legislature races, the gerrymandering of voting districts that followed this power grab, the supermajority that was won in 2012 at the state level, and the radical remaking of our state government that followed in 2013 — all of it was a corporately funded attack on the radical democracy represented in this sanctuary.
Which is why more than 1,000 of us were arrested in the summer of 2013, week after week in the largest state government-focused civil disobedience campaign in American history.
It's why, despite the fact that the media's attention has turned to other things, Moral Mondays have continued, with more than 200 events organized across North Carolina for the past two years.
This is why a state superior court judge already ruled the arrests made at our state house in 2013 illegal. The people, upon whose consent our government is based, have been exercising our right to assemble and petition our elected officials for the redress of grievances. If the language sounds a bit dated, it's because it's straight out of our state Constitution, rewritten and ratified by black and white folks after the Civil War to right the wrongs committed under the Confederate flag.
Rev. Barber, who has been the architect and chief spokesperson for this Moral Movement, is greeted at the pulpit in the same way Tar Heels used to greet Coach Dean Smith. Every person in this room trusts him, not because he floats above the people on another plane but because we've seen his character, his commitment, and his gift. In the midst of complex situations, Rev. Barber can see, like the biblical prophets, with a clarity that is both personal and political. We are here, Rev. Barber says simply, because the truth demands a necessary interruption. This is why Jesus turned over the tables in the temple on the "first Moral Monday." It's why we interrupted the state house when they were legislating evil. It's why we went to court to defend our actions, and it's why we're back in court now.
NC NAACP vs. McCrory is a necessary interruption to the institutionalized racism that is killing black and brown people. For all the talk around "black lives matter," Rev. Barber warns, we are in danger of only affirming that black death matters if we accept that the martyrs of Charleston deserve nothing more than the removal of a Confederate flag from their state house. Yes, the flags should come down. But if they go away while the unjust laws remain, then it may be even harder for us to see that the root of injustice is in an imbalance of power.
And the fundamental power of citizenship in this country is still the franchise.
Yes, this is our Selma. But maybe it is more. It is, after all, quite literally the Voting Rights Act's Jubilee. Between now and Aug. 6, the 50th anniversary of that legislative victory, a case will be made in federal court that the work of Freedom Summer and the Dallas County Voters League, of SCLC and SNCC and hundreds of Citizenship Schools, has been undone by James Crow, Esq., the sophisticated Southern strategist who followed his father in spirit if not in form.
In Leviticus 25, God tells Israel that every 50 years they shall proclaim a jubilee. Debts should be canceled, slaves liberated, and land returned to its original owners. The persistent nature of injustice is a given among broken human beings, the Bible says. Every 50 years or so, an interruption is necessary.
Some Bible scholars say the strange thing about the jubilee legislation is that we have next to no historical evidence that is was ever practiced. For people of faith, Winston-Salem is one opportunity to set the record straight.

One of the World's largest and fastest ever gold rushes swept through Lawrence and the surrounding area in the 1860's and you can still get a real sense of the rich history today.
This itinerary could be done in one day or spread out over a few days combining with the Clutha Gold Cycling and Walking Trail.
Start or end with a trip on our fantastic free ferry, the Tuapeka Punt which crosses New Zealand's mightiest Clutha River every morning and afternoon running between 8-10am and 4-6pm. It dates back to the 1890's and is the only one of its kind left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Take the cross country route to Lawrence via Tuapeka or take the river route up to Beaumont and on to Lawrence hugging the amazing turquoise blue hue of the country's most impressive waterway.
Once you get to lovely Lawrence saunter round the historic town with its Victorian gems like Anthem House where you guessed it the music for New Zealand's national anthem was composed.
Pop into the museum for a taste of the good old days before strolling to the very pretty Bellview wetlands in the heart of town.
Just down the road is Gabriel's Gully named after the guy who found the first really big golden nugget in 1861. It's a lovely walk with panels along the way telling the story.
A longer stroll from the town centre or quick drive gets you to the Chinese Gold Miners Camp which is one of the most important sites of its kind in the whole country. And yes you can also pan for gold around the town.
If you are in the area on a Spring weekend then you could check out the dazzling delightful daffodil display in the ruins of the Weatherstons Brewery on Waipori Road.
Perhaps the best way to truly soak up that heritage of early New Zealand is to get out and about on the Clutha Gold Cycle and Walking Trail.
Follow in the steps of Maori moa hunters, Chinese gold miners and pioneer settlers who have all made this stunning valley their home. It is set to get even bigger and better, with the route being extended all the way south to Lake Waihola!
The Clutha Gold Cycling & Walking Trail already links with the Roxburgh Gorge Trail.
A jet boat ride links the two trails and this is the only one of New Zealand's great rides to have a wonderful on the water experience! Check the Beaumont Jet website

Healthy Eating Tip: Could Eating Less Keep Your Mind Sharp?
The research of some Italian scientists recently published in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences presents an intriguing idea: a calorie-restricted diet might prevent age-related memory loss. The positive results of this new research could be the key to healthy aging.
The scientists, led by Dr. Giovambattista Pani at the Institute of General Pathology, Catholic University of Sacred Heart in Rome, say that they have discovered the molecular process by which a strict diet may save the brain from the ravages of age. They found that in mice, a calorie-restricted diet triggered a protein molecule, CREB1, which activates a host of genes linked to longevity and good brain function.
"Our hope is to find a way to activate CREB1, for example through new drugs, so to keep the brain young without the need of a strict diet," said Dr. Pani.
Previous studies have shown that mice on calorie-restricted diets showed better cognitive abilities and memory, less aggression, and tended to avoid or delay Alzheimer's disease. But they have not known exactly why.
"CREB1 is known to regulate important brain functions as memory, learning and anxiety control, and its activity is reduced or physiologically compromised by aging," said the study's authors.
Mice that were genetically altered to lack CREB1 showed none of the same memory benefits if they were on a low-calorie diet as mice that had the molecule, and showed the same brain disabilities as mice that were overfed. Therefore, CREB1 appears to be the critical factor in preserving cognitive ability.
According to Marc Gordon, chief of neurology at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, New York, the findings could explain on why some people who are obese in middle age experience cognitive problems later in life.
"Mid-life obesity has been associated with late-life dementia. However, the physiological basis for this association remains unclear," said Gordon, who was not part of the study.

Hello, what in your opinion is the least known country in Africa that allows hunting? I'd love to find out about more opportunities in these lesser known destinations! My vote would go to Gabon for duiker hunting.

The sister of The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) star James "Arg" Argent is to return her London Marathon finisher's medal after allegations of cheating.
Natasha Argent was recorded as completing the 26.2 miles in three hours 44 minutes but it was soon noted that she had appeared to run the second half of the race faster than elite athletes.
Members of the public flagged up that her results showed her as running the final 20km in under an hour.
Earlier this week organisers of the event told Sky News the results were "extremely questionable".
Argent's results have now been wiped from the official London Marathon website.
Hugh Brasher, event director, said: "Our results team has been in touch with Natasha Argent, along with a small number of other runners, to request an explanation for the missing split times in her results from Sunday's Virgin Money London Marathon.
"At her request, we have removed her results from the system and she will be returning her finisher's medal to us."
Argent's results page showed she started Sunday's race at 10.16am and had completed the first 20km by 12.33pm.
However, her timings for the next 20km were not visible on the site.
She then reappeared at the 40km mark at 1.21pm and finished at 2pm.
Organisers said there are a number of suspect times every year and around 20 out of 39,000 entrants are being investigated this year.
James Argent completed the London Marathon in 2012 with a time of just over six hours.
On Sunday he congratulated his sister on Twitter for her achievement but the tweet was later deleted.
Sky News has contacted his representative for a comment.

It wouldn't be a Macworld without the rumors that inevitably swirl around what announcements Apple Computer CEO, Steve Jobs, has cooked up for the show. This year, when the Macworld Creative Pro conference opens its doors in New York today, it will be no different.
Courtesy of two leading Mac rumor Web sites, Spymac.com and Macrumors.com, the leading buzz appears to be a G5 PowerBook by February 2004, G5 iMacs next [Northern] summer and for the enterprise, a G5 xServe by the end of this year.
Whether it is rumour or wishful thinking, an xServe based on G5 and the Panther OS has many enterprise-level vendors and customers salivating, according to Steve Olsen, director of engineering at Sybase.
To Olsen, even more important than the G5 64-bit processor co-developed with IBM is the asynchronous I/O support in Panther. In benchmarks done last fall with Apple's Jaguar OS, the CPU was running at only 30 to 40 per cent capacity.
"This means the I/O system was the bottleneck," Olsen said. "Apple solved that problem and is implementing it at the kernel level. It is rock solid and has made a huge difference in [performance] of our database."
Unfortunately, the introduction of the Power Mac G5 may also be the source of problems for Apple value-added resellers in the enterprise space.
"XServe sales are dead," said one VAR who asked not to be identified.
The source said that the day Apple came out with the G5, xServe died.
"I couldn't give it away to my grandmother," he said.
Up until the G5 announcement, the VAR said he was having great success with xServe bundled with the xServe RAID solution.
While Apple tries to keep a tight lid on new product announcements, Matthew Ott, director of marketing and communications at Terayon, a broadband access communications company, said the steep discounts Apple was now offering developers may be an indication that they are clearing the channel to make way for a new product. Currently, Apple developers pay about $US2300 for a two-processor system.
"We can now get 25 per cent off the developer price, which is already quite generous," Ott said. "With 25 per cent, that is almost half off."
Chairman of the Standish Group, Jim Johnson, said that Apple strategists told him that the value of surprising the market with new announcements was worth millions of dollars. It may create a buzz and a buzz may generate more sales. But, certainly if one VAR's experience with selling products that are perceived to be at the end of their life cycle is accurate, Apple has another reason to keep things quiet.

Repackaging API
You can use the CRS repackaging API to transcode non-HLS ad creatives ahead of time, so an HLS version is available when you need to run it, eliminating the 2-4 minute delay associated with just-in-time (JIT) repackaging.
HTTP Request
Send an HTTP POST command to the specified URL to tell CRS which ad creative you want transcoded and which options you'd like it to use. The response code reports success or failure and other information.
This request requires a username and password. You can obtain these from your Adobe technical account manager. If you need information about authenticating, contact your Adobe Primetime Enablement representative.
To submit a transcoding request to CRS, send an HTTP message as follows:
- Method - POST
- Auth - Digest
- Header - Content-Type: text/xml
- Body - XML as in the following example:
<RepackageList> <Repackage> <AdSystem>Auditude</AdSystem> <AdID>AUD1</AdID> <CreativeID>AUD-CR1</CreativeID> <CreativeURL>https://cdn.auditude.com/assets/ip/starbucks2.mp4</CreativeURL> <Zone>3</Zone> </Repackage> <Repackage> <AdSystem>Auditude</AdSystem> <AdID>AUD2</AdID> <CreativeID>AUD-CR1</CreativeID> <CreativeURL>https://cdn.auditude.com/assets/ip/starbucks2.mp4</CreativeURL> <Format>id3 targetdur=5</Format> <Zone>3</Zone> </Repackage> </RepackageList>
The RepackageList block in the Body can contain 1 to 300 Repackage blocks. If the number of Repackage blocks in the Body exceeds 300, then the HTTP Request will fail with the following error:
<codeph> HTTP 413 Request Entity Too Large: Validation fail: Too many requests. Max limit is 300 </codeph>.
The required and optional parameters in a Repackage block are as follows:
- AdSystem (Required) - The source ad server, for example, Auditude , FreeWheel , Apad.tv . This is a string value that corresponds to the VAST element AdSystem .
- AdId (Required) - This is an identifier for the 3rd party ad server specified in the request. It corresponds to the id attribute of the Ad element in a VAST response.
- CreativeURL (Required) - The location (URI) of the ad creative to be transcoded. This corresponds to the VAST MediaFile element.
- CreativeID (optional) - The identifier for the ad creative that is to be included as part of ad-experience.
- Zone (Required) - Zone ID for your account (obtain from your technical account manager). This is a numerical value that corresponds to the Auditude platform publisher_site_id setting.
- Format (optional) - Parameters to control how CRS transcodes the ad creative:
You must provide this parameter if you want the repackaged ad to be compatible with Client Side Ad Insertion. If you do not provide this, the repackaged ad will only be compatible with Server Side Ad Insertion.
- clientside - Generate output compatible with the URL that TVSDK uses to communicate with the CDN.
DASH-compatible assets are not compatible with Adobe Primetime ad insertion.
- hls - Generate an HLS-compatible transcoded ad creative.
- dash - Generate a DASH-compatible transcoded ad creative.
- id3 - Inject ID3 timed metadata tags into the transcoded ad creative.
- targetdur - Segment duration (in seconds) for the transcoded ad creative. Default is targetdur=4 . This value should correspond to the value specified in the manifest for <s> in the target duration tag: #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:<s> .
To ensure smoothest playback, set targetdur to match the content chunk duration.
HTTP Response
CRS responds to the request with one of the following status codes:
- HTTP 202 - Accepted (with empty body). This indicates success. CRS uploads the transcoded ad to the CDN server.
- HTTP 400 - Bad Request. The posted XML is invalid.
- HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error. The server encountered an internal problem (for example, the server was unable to connect to a database).
Pre-transcoding assets for SSAI or CSAI
Using the repackaging API, you can pre-transcode future SSAI or CSAI events. If the assets are intended to be used with SSAI in future, make sure that all the parameters in the POST calls are unique. The parameters are: AdSystem, AdId, CreativeURL, Zone, Format. Any differences in this set of parameters, result in a new transcoding request for SSAI.
For assets used with CSAI in the future, the asset uniqueness depends on Zone and CreativeURL. AdSystem and AdId do not result in different transcoded assets and these are available to clients.

I was elated to see our fair city pass a food truck ordinance last month.
Food trucks will open up a variety of cuisines and cooking styles for us to experience and enjoy. Many of my restaurant friends already have or are building a food truck for catering and attending festivals. Miss Sophie's isn't one of them. I've experienced food truck life and I think I'll sit this one out.
Love for my children took me into the food truck phase of my life. In the summer of 1997, my oldest son, Larry, fulfilled a dream of his and joined Carolina Crown, a drum and bugle corps based out of Fort Mill, S.C. Drum and bugle corps travel all summer competing and performing with other drum corps across the country. Back then a drum and bugle corps consisted of 135 members ranging from age 14 to 21. The members, instructional staff and administrative staff traveled together in four charter buses, a 15-passenger van, an equipment tractor trailer, and a food truck tractor trailer.
The food truck was run by volunteers, mostly parents of the members who, like me, couldn't bear to be away from their children that long. I volunteered to help them out for one week that summer and actually enjoyed it.
The next year, Larry didn't march, but his brother Jeremiah and his sister Loraine did. I ended up traveling with them the entire summer working in the food truck under Sherry, who had been running the food truck for three summers. The next year, Sherry retired and I was passed the torch which I carried for the next five years - the last two of those years, none of my children were members.
The food truck was equipped with a commercial stove, griddle, three-compartment sink, and eventually a convection oven and small walk-in cooler. All non-perishable food was stored in the back portion of the truck. The one thing it didn't have was air conditioning.
Out of that truck, we fed the members breakfast, lunch, dinner and a late night snack. Some days, breakfast, lunch and dinner all took place between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. and by 5, the truck had to be loaded and secured to travel to the show site. After the performance, we served a late-night snack before they loaded the buses and traveled to the next show. Sometimes they arrived at their housing site (usually schools with football fields) within two to three hours; some nights it would be six hours or more.
They slept on the buses and crashed on gym floors for a few hours after arriving at the housing site. The volunteers did the same. I learned to shower in locker rooms again, even when there wasn't any hot water, and to sleep pretty soundly on a classroom floor. On average, Crown traveled 8,000 to 10,000 miles in an eight-week period. Oh, did I mention that I volunteered to do this without pay?
As part of my job, I had to plan meals around how much time I had to cook them. I sent my food orders to the home office every two weeks and they made arrangements to have a US Foods truck meet us at our location.
One of my fondest memories is getting a $4,000 food truck order in the parking lot of Hershey Park in the middle of a hot July day. The heat from the concrete parking lot made the temperature of the truck well over 100 degrees. We were hurrying to get the food loaded and in the refrigerator before it spoiled and the truck generator quit working. We quickly shoved everything into the truck and I scoured the area for electricity. We ended up unplugging a couple of drink machines on the outside of the park and using the receptacles to power the refrigerator. I felt kind of bad, but you do what you have to do.
I have hundreds of stories like the Hershey Park incident, and while I wouldn't take anything for my summers with those amazing young men and women, I just can't bring myself to get excited about operating a food truck. So for the time being, I'll just wish all you food truck entrepreneurs the best of luck, while I stand at the stove of my stationary and well air-conditioned kitchen.
Meals from the food truck were simple, but always enjoyed. One meal we named "Trevor's Meal" because Trevor asked every single day when we were having it again. A few months ago, I had some smoked sausage left over from a lowcountry boil and decided to make Steve Trevor's meal and he loved it. I was thinking as I made it how quickly a meal can come together with smoked sausage, so I played with some recipes for quick smoked sausage meals. I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites.

When Oscar (Macagal) moves to what is known as Metro Manila with his wife and two children they enter the fray with eyes firmly blinkered and unaware of the treachery lurking around every corner. They very quickly find themselves without money or a place to live until they wander into an unused slum. Oscar does find work as an armoured car driver but it is a dangerous profession with a high mortality rate and is openly referred to as the "Wild West" by his new boss and partner Ong (Arcilla) With Mai (Vega) taking a job in the wrong kind of bar they quickly find themselves with more moral conundrums than they can handle and it isn't long before the wheels really start to come off."
English director Ellis really went out on a limb on this as he went to a country where he did not speak the language and managed to craft an unoriginal yet surprisingly riveting piece. The story takes its time to get from family drama to high pace heist movie but it's the journey that makes it all worthwhile. It is the simple things like Oscar becoming indebted to his boss and falling prey to his new found wealth and friends that allow the audience to get inside the characters. In one particularly saddening scene Oscar drinks with his workmates as Mai degrades herself in the bar. Put simply, it's tragic.
The score is thoroughly enjoyable as Ellis mixes beautiful Asian music with the hustle and bustle of Manila. There is always an overriding feeling that Manila is alive, that it has it's own heartbeat and that it's inhabitants are merely along for the ride. The cinematography is also something to behold with the beautiful on location shots of the Northern Philippines and the tight tense shots of Manila sucking the audience in even further.
Bringing it all together are three wonderful performances by Macagal, Vega and Arcilla. You get to know their characters in depth and can do nothing bar look on in horror as they affect one another's chances of survival. When it comes down to it you will be praying for Oscar to do whatever is necessary to save himself and his family.
Taking a very simple premise and crafting it into something so riveting makes Metro Manila a film that you can not afford to miss.

Uncivil War: Alien: Isolation - Who Can Live The Longest?
Alien: Isolation - Who Can Live The Longest?
Jim and Yahtzee try to deal with a perfect organism whose structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
"Tall, dark and phallic."
I think this might have actually sold me on the game. I mean, I was planning on getting it, but probably on a Steam sale. After seeing this, I'm considering coughing up the full price.
Those foot stomps make me feel like the alien has gained weight. So it is a fat cock now!
PS: I'd suggest you guys try and see who survives the longest on Organ Trail, but you'd need to set up some rules so the video doesn't last too long.
I did not realise it spent so much time trotting around upright; it seems odd for the Alien to do that, but maybe I'm just misremembering how much time it spent on all fours in the movies.
"xenomorph body pillows" To google or not to google... *googles* They don't exist.
Rogue Legacy. Whoever can get the most gold in a single run with no upgrades.
I second this, it's a really good idea!
They're probably smart enough to realise they get a better view if they stand upright.
This is the one time where I REALLY wished the Uncivil War theme song was playing in the background during this episode. ^^:
Wonder when we'll see Yahtzee's review of Alien: Isolation? Will he even enjoy it? Better still, will his underpants remain white after playing it?
You secure that shit, Yahtzee!
Yes. YES.
Abe's Odyssee - get as many Mudokans killed as you can in five minutes.
If we go on the movies different xenomorphs behave in different ways. Some rely on stealth by hiding in the scenery and only moving to pounce, some hunt in packs and try to overwhelm their opponents. In the original movie the xenomorph used vents to move around and very rarely made any sound whatsoever, but this would not make for a good game and would only feel frustrating. In the later movies we saw them running on walls and behaving like bees protecting a hive, but that would work better in action games (like the AvP series). The series (and later the AvP movies) expanded the diversity by showing how xenomorphs change both behavior and physical characteristics based on environments and prey, showing that they are highly adaptive.
Gameplay-wise it's understandable why they made the xenomorph walk upright and make a lot of noise. It gives the player more information to act on to reduce frustration, as well as making the xenomorph really scary. I would probably have preferred a game where they made the AI less rubber-bandy and had it utilize the scenery more to blend in, to really mess with the mind of the player, but that would also mean risking a full play-through where you barely ever encounter it.
This game is absolutely terrifying. It's quite a joy to play.
On a side note, after watching Jim's defense of Alien 3 I went and watched the extended version of the movie, and I think he's right. If you can get past the deaths of Hicks and Newt and some of the movie's other flaws (It's not very scary, ugly and repetitive set design) it's a fantastic movie. Fox completely butchered Fincher's cut. Don't watch the original theatrical cut that they released. Watch the extended version.
This video has done a better job than reviews to make me want to play the game. Maybe I should watch Let's Plays and so on after all.
Is it just RNG that made Yahtzee not die? It seems odd to me that the Xenomorph didn't kill him (unless they can only kill from behind because duh).
In the first one you get a surprising amount of screen time with the alien in plain view, standing up. I watched it again after seeing this with that in mind and was surprised at how bold they are with the xenomorph; at times it's just there but you kind of overlook it until it moves-- that's good scripting and screenplay if anything.
Oh watching this is nerve wracking! The whole time I was like "Jim, why don't you have your scanner up! Yahtzee has his up! Up the Damn thing UP The Alien could be anywhere!"
Great game
And also, xenomorphs take on the characteristics of their host. In the history of aliens, there's been human aliens, a dog alien, and all manner of types if you take the spinoff movies into consideration.
Yes, this video sold me on the game as well. A king of the hill style survival mode sounds like some great multiplayer.
While I enjoyed watching this, I dont think I'd enjoy the game... reckon I'd get too frustrated at all the sneaky-sneakying.
Will however state that A3 is pretty good, found the story to be surprisingly solid for a sequel.
How come Yahtzee isn't an Alien nerd!? Didn't know they can see pretty damn well, didn't get the "I won't lie to you about your chances" quote. I am disappoint!
Jim might have gotten used to hearing the alien during his review play, and avoiding the motion tracker (the alien can get attracted to its beeps.
Jim got beat playing the Alien game.
That doesn't bode well, if you're Team Sterling.
While there is some luck to it the reason it just slapped Yahtzee was that he sprayed it with his flamethrower before it jumped him, this makes the alien panic abit and just run you over instead of finishing you. If the alien gets you in any other situation you are dead. Always.
Other than that Yahtzee just kept better track of it with his motion tracker, so he had time to react instead of getting jumped from behind like Jim, it can also however hide in vents both in the ceiling and in the walls, if you pass these it jumps out and kills you.
AAAH. Oh god. This game looks brilliant and no, no, I cannot buy it. Guys, I actually screamed out loud (a small scream! perhaps even a squeak!) at the end where Jim was lurking under the desk and he turned and the xeno was there. Perversely, I feel like I should buy it to reward these devs, but no. No playing. Perhaps Lets Plays during the day when my pathetic squeaks of terror will blend in with the sounds of neighborhood children at delightful play. (Outside even, I don't know what the kids around here are being fed, it's so wholesome and last century. I mean they still draw dicks on the sidewalks with chalk, but that's a constant across all platforms.)
This was the most nerve racking episode yet. I love you guys.
The Alien Can Get Attracted To Its Beeps!?! I'm Out! Done! Not Going Back, Can't Make Me!
You know, I almost think that a full play through where you barely actually meet it, but always know it's there, would be bloody interesting. It would pump up the psych-horror aspect of the game. Of course, I haven't played the game personally so I don't know if that would ruin other aspects of it, but it sounds like a neat idea.
Nice call back to Jim's Movie Defense of Alien 3. The odd thing is that its the one movie David Fincher directed that he totally hated, and the stories of all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans sound way more interesting than the story in the movie itself. But no mention of Resurrection?
Given the not-at-all subtle imagery of the whole franchise, I'm quite scared of Googling what other official/unofficial paraphernalia it has. And not just because I'm at work now.
To me, he seemed to know a lot about the franchise in his reviews of their games. Watch his videos for AvP (the most recent one, not a retro-review) and Aliens:Colonial Marines. Or watch them anyway, because they're really funny.
Indeed. The director's cut follows the book (which is actually pretty good) and fleshes it out quite nicely.
Damn, son... I did not expect Jim loosing this one... and I'm mostly on #TeamYahtzee...
Regardless, this was a pretty tense match on my end... Those "slaps" really put me on edge a bit...
Yahtzee doesn't seem to be a movie buff, he's probably more into books and videogames.
Well it is partly a stealth game, Yahtzee is pretty good at them.
Worse yet, Yahtzee got two fat joke in one episode. I hope that doesn't weigh too heavily on Jim.
Yes, but the range of that beep to be heard is quite short (and on easy basically non-existant)
Aliens are terrible hide and seek players. They never want to hide for long. I'm guessing if you just sat back in the starting room and hoped for the other guy to mess up, it would eventually get bored and come find you.
Well done, private Croshaw. Guess it's down to the deciding best of 15 next time, though I hope you continue past 15, maybe eventually having an episode with other Escapist staff on board
Alright, that was proper pants-wetting terror plus funny commentary. In short, gold.
I feel like since there's a magic ten victories that the case of a 9-to-9 tie-off needs to be something special. Anyone have any ideas?

This is going to be the biggest movie that NOBODY seems to be talking about..yet. The premise is BRILLIANT and It's from the Director of Slumdog Millionaire.
It's called "Yesterday" - Just Imagine if you woke up in a world where the Beatles never existed... but you knew all of their songs.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

As we remember the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and celebrate my grandmother's birthday – she was 20 years old on June 6, 1944 and is still very much with us – I want to show you an interesting photo I came across.
And I do this a bit gingerly, as Ford had well, mixed feelings at best about the Third Reich, and Jews. He promoted antisemitism, and well, look it's a sordid history worth a read on its own. But for this little quick snap let's look at a photo.
The photo is of Henry Ford sitting on his first car of sorts – called the Ford Quadracycle. He introduced his car on June 4, 1896.
Four bicycle tires, tiller steering, four horsepower.
As this is a photo blog, let's just concentrate on one thing… This photo was supposedly taken in 1896 when Ford was debuting his new car – a tech still in its infancy. Ford didn't invent cars, but he was at the forefront of development and ultimately mass production.
But look at that photo, supposedly taken the day he debuted the car. There is ANOTHER car, a way better one, in the reflection in the storefront. That and some cool looking 19th century people. But yes, a car…
I'm sure there is a simple explanation. Photo was not taken in 1896, someone had imported a Benz, something. But it is a reminder that images have more than a creamy center.
They have sides, and details, and reflections, and depth. There is often more there than you first pick up on. More to the story. We tend to look right in the middle, or at whatever main subject jumps out.
But we shouldn't be quick to ignore the periphery.
Next time you glance at a photo, take a moment to look into the corners and sides. Never know what you might find.

Burberry is planning to remove their products from certain shops
that are not luxury and renovate their own shops. Companies like Louis Vuitton has
created their label and distinction on expensive leather handbags and
Burberry's aim is to compete with companies like that. Burberry thinks that by
selling high-priced handbag they will be able to boost their margins. For
comparable products Louis Vuitton charges higher prices. They are also making
alterations in crucial employees. Their designer Christopher Bailey who has
been with the company for 17 years will be replaced and they are looking for
somoneone with extensive expertise in designing handbags. (CNN)
Their aim is to turn the brand into a luxury brand. They will
expand their handbag offering because handbags create higher margins than
trench coats, which is Buberry's signature item. Louis Vuitton has bigger array
of leather goods. They will reduce the number of the outlet stores. By training
in-store employees on leather goods and styling they want to improve buyer's
experience and boost their efficieny. Making the most out of digital media
remains one of the goals. The british designer was one of the first who entered
a »see now, buy now« model which allowes custmoers to purchase immediately
after a fashion shows. That was a bold move and a very different way of
shopping and fewer chances for forgery. All this will result in profitability.
They expect revenue and operating margins will be stable over the next two
years and in 2021 they predict growth. (businessoffashion).

Louis Vuitton knows how to differentiate itself. Louis Vuitton
handbags are compared to Burberry's higher in price. Another thing that differs
Burberry from Louis Vuitton is that Louis Vuitton never has a sale, they never
mark down prices because they believe all customers should pay the same price
for products. NAGASAWA says that Louis Vuitton goes for premium pricing
strategy, which is a symbol of prestige value.

Rugul Aprins, the prayer meeting on the mountain in Ponoara, Bihor county, came to its 13th edition. The event started in August 3rd and it continued for five days, with participants coming in thousands from Romania and abroad. Christians of various denominations came together to listen to sermons and to benefit from prayers for physical and emotional healing.
Rugul Aprins Interdenominational Organization invited ministers of the Word from Romania and abroad, missionaries from Nigeria and Italy as well as praise and worship bands.
This is the 13th edition of Rugul Aprins in Ponoara, manifestation that came to life as a result of Gods communications. Decades have passed since I came to the Lord, 64 years to be exact, and during this time I watched what was happening in churches and wherever I went. I noticed that people are needing the Lord. Then I discovered that the Bible tells us Jesus sacrifice provides solutions for every problem anyone might have. After having noticed this, I wondered what is to be done. I wondered if it was better to help people make connections and collaborations, or to help them find individual solutions to the problems they are faced with. I came to the conclusion the answers can be found through prayers to Jesus. Each and every year, I noticed that God works in continuity.
What starts Thursday evening continues until Monday. If youre not involved daily, you lose. Ive seen how this idea of continuity becomes more and more obvious.
I think the people we invite here are praying a lot. Moreover, we have a prayer group sustaining us with 21 days of prayer and fasting before the event.
God told me to do Esthers fast for an outpouring of grace upon all the pastors and ministers of God participating in the ministry, for the teaching they will do. Prayer and preaching are not the only important things. They are good, but the Word addressed directly to the point and to peoples need is much more meaningful. God poured his grace upon the ministers so that they would be able to explain to us how the victory can be achieved, considering the situation in Romania and in the world.
The talks concentrated on the need for repentance, lifestyle change, on Gods Word transforming power, on forgiveness and unity among Christians regardless of their confession. Mircea Rosca, an ex-parliamentarian, brought to attention the challenges facing the family and the church in the European context, emphasizing the importance of prayer when promoting Christian values in politics.
I told people about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. I spoke with parliamentarians who are sad, discouraged people. We live in a country thats not ruled by the Parliament anymore. Its no longer ruled by institutions due to devils involvement in the HOWs. On this planet, there is no other place like Romania. We watched others wanting to be just like them for 25 years. But we have the greatest blessing. We werent able to use money coming from the EU because they didnt want to teach us how to proceed. Although we couldnt take that money and upgrade the infrastructure, prince Charles could see the countrys blessings when he came to Romania. It smells of nettle and grass. What a blessed country ! This country is so blessed, we just have to open our eyes to see it. We, the ones who know Christ, are the first to do this because He Is our light and He makes the difference.
One of the most important messages at this 13th edition of Rugul Aprins was given by pastor Viorel Iuga, president of The Alliance of Christian Baptist Churches of Romania. He spoke about the Christian familys importance and its need of submitting to God.
My dear brothers, family life isnt like what you see in the movies, but with Gods help, it can be beautiful. Praise the Lord ! Brothers and sisters, this year we have to speak and defend family and normalcy. God set this principle. Thousands of years of history proved God knew what He was doing, therefore we believe it is in our benefit to have written in the supreme law, the Constitution, that family is the union between a man and a woman. Amen !
If we dont respect Gods guidelines for family life, but we do speak about Him all day, people will notice the hypocrisy. As for God, He would condemn us sternly for having no shame. He would tell us to go to the garden of Eden, the showroom where He displayed the final product, the family. Only there we can see what He meant by saying It is not good for man to live alone. If we dont want to fix our family life, we should at least have the courage to admit our life is a disaster not because God would have wanted so, but because we and our spouses dont listen to Him. My question today is: If you insist on advocating for the family, are you ready to commit to submitting to God as a man after Gods heart and have that reflected in your own home ?

One oft-heard concern on factor investing is that factors could be arbitraged away. Indeed, studies on the US equity market suggest that market anomalies become weaker after publication, with performance deteriorating by over 50%.
This study1, however, found that these results do not carry over to international equity markets. The authors examined over 200 anomalies for 39 countries and found that only the US exhibited a post-publication performance drop. None of the other countries showed noticeable decline in performance, or even a slight improvement. The authors considered the various explanations for these conflicting results.
They dismissed most of these, but found weak evidence supporting the notion that anomalies are more difficult to arbitrage away internationally. We suggest a different explanation, namely that most anomaly studies focus on the US market and have been optimized to produce the best results there. Such data fitting would explain why subsequent performance is weaker in the US market, but not in other markets where the strategies were not initially tested.

Tish Stevenson
Hello, I'm Tish!
My love and passion for birth work is rooted in my deep desire to nurture and empower others. My experience with infertility set a path for me to share my love and mothering soul with families. Through intimate relationship + bond I am whole and purposeful. I am certified as both a birth and postpartum doula through Doula Canada and have had various trainings around sex + birth, intimacy and relationships, trauma support and I have a calling to holding space for other mama's whom are experiencing infertility. I am a sex + intimacy coach, doula, creative artist, photographer and traveller.
This past year my partner and I sold all our belongings and moving into our RV to live a more minimalistic, resourceful and nomadic life. My belief in all things birth and in life is that with all things beautiful there is grit, with all things divine there is pain, and without the contrast of both and the resilience it takes to grow through those experiences with vulnerability, trust and perseverance we wouldn't fully know the true and deepest experience of conscious living. You are everything light with a touch of darkness, you are all you need to be and with the support of those who love you most, you can accomplish anything! Trust in the grit as much as you trust in the grace of your life and birth 🖤
My vision is simple; connecting humans to their partners, to their families and most importantly to themselves. Through my doula work, blogging, workshops and one-on-one work, I seek to empower through intimacy, vulnerability, sharing and discovery.

Different outfits have called for a hartal in Kerala on Thursday after two women of "menstrual age" entered the Sabarimala temple and offered prayers on Wednesday. Bindu and Kanakadurga made history as the first women to enter the shrine since the Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all ages entry into the temple.
Hartal tomorrow, UDF to observe 'black day'
The Sabarimala Karma Samiti, an umbrella group of right-wing Hindu groups, has called a hartal in Kerala on Thursday. The BJP has extended support to the hartal and also said it would observe a two-day protest. The opposition front, UDF, has said it would observe a 'black day' on Thursday.
Antharashtriya Hindu Parishad has also called for a hartal.
This is the the seventh shutdown called by right-wing groups in just three months over the Sabarimala issue, according to PTI.
Trade bodies reject hartal
Traders' organisations, such as the All-Kerala Vyapari Vyavasayi Ekopana Samiti, have said they will not cooperate with the shutdown and sought police protection to open their establishments.
Exams postponed
Exams to be held on Thursday by the Kerala University and the Calicut University have been postponed. The universities will announce fresh dates later, Malayala Manorama reported.
Exams to be held by the Technical University, the Health University and the Agricultural and Veterinary University have also been postponed.
NSS to continue legal battle
The Nair Service Society has condemned the women's entry into Sabarimala and said it would continue its legal battle to protect the faith of Ayyappa devotees.
NSS, which has filed a review plea in the Supreme Court challenging its verdict, said it would approach the Centre if the apex court rejects its plea.
Clashes and protests across Kerala
The state is likely to see widespread protests. On Wednesday, BJP and CPI(M) workers clashed outside the Secretariat in the capital and pelted stones at each other. Police fired teargas and used water cannons to disperse the protesters outside the Secretariat, television news channels showed.
BJP workers also took out a protest march in the state capital. In Kasaragod, they blocked traffic on the national highway.
BJP workers waved black flags at Devaswom minister Kadakampally Surendran in Guruvayur and at Health minister KK Shylaja in Kannur.
Treachery, says opposition
"This is treachery ... The government will have to pay the price for the violation of the custom," K Sudhakaran, vice-president of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee, said in a statement.
The Kerala state president of the BJP described the visit to the temple by the two women as "a conspiracy by the atheist rulers to destroy the Hindu temples". PS Sreedharan Pillai, told TV channels the BJP would "support the struggles against the destruction of faith by the Communists".
"Let all the devotees come forward and protest this," he said.

Brain, Tooth size may not be Linked in HumansMonday, February 20, 2017
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 -- A recent study has revealed that brain enlargement and tooth size in humans were likely affected by diverse ecological and behavioral factors. For the study, the researchers from George Washington University scrutinized eight different hominin species and assessed this complexity by evaluating and comparing the rates at which teeth and brains evolved among different humans. The findings of the study revealed that different ecological and behavioral factors affected the evolution of brain and tooth size in humans. It was also noted that hominins had larger brains before chewing teeth diminished. Fast-evolving species were spotted when a comparative analysis was conducted between groups and hence the researchers clearly stated differences between tooth evolution and brain evolution. However, this novel finding challenges the common perception that diminishing of tooth size in hominins is associated with having a larger brain. The study appeared in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Green Hat Workshops
PLANKS, are dynamic technical building blocks designed to inspire creative minds. Identical in size and shape, cut precisely from 100% farmed pine and individually finished for consistent quality. PLANKS are specifically proportioned to allow exploration of design, engineering and gravity in order to build almost anything you can imagine.
In their school program, children will work with others to create a range of constructions from Green Hat Workshop's collection of thousands of PLANKS.
While authentic self directed play is the primary objective of this program, particular emphasis is also placed on children's emerging sense of Identity, Community, Well-being, reflection on the reasons for their choices and Communication with others.
Introducing formal terms, creative challenges and problem solving.
Green Hat Workshop staff will take advantage of opportunities to discuss children's understandings of the forces and movements at work, how best to co-operate, negotiate and collaborate with others and will share the successes of individuals in the group.
Science Understanding
Green Hat Workshop staff will help children develop an understanding of concepts and words such as friction, counterbalance and support.
– Science Inquiry – Curiosity and use of evidence to make observations. Both formal and informal discussions of why things have and have not worked are a feature of each workshop, prompting investigations into what might work and how strategies can be applied in different ways.
– Science as a human endeavour – Recognising scientific concepts in everyday life. Green Hat Workshop Staff use the concepts being explored to draw out children's understandings of the forces at work and their wider uses in our world.
Plank building offers varied ability groups the opportunity to work collaboratively. Structures can be simple or incredibly complex calling upon higher order problem solving, communication, teamwork and creativity skills. Students become engineers, inventors and sculptors and discover abilities they never knew they had.
Concepts in Brief
Balance, counterbalance, leverage, mass/Forces relationships, optimum proportions related to counter balance, 2D & 3D design, linear and parabolic shapes, symmetry, problem solving, innovation, teamwork, quantitative maths, geometric shapes, reasoned decision making.

Website security tips you need to check
Website security is one of the most important parts of your actual website. Without the proper security it won't be long before you find yourself with unwanted visitors knocking down your metaphorical door. The online medium is known for its many threats and dangers and you need to stay protected if you are to prosper and see your website grow into mainstream recognition. Once you achieve that status, that's where the challenge really begins as security will be under more pressure than ever.
So what can be done?
Security solutions are varied and in huge numbers. There are many things that you can do to protect your website. There are advanced, more complex solutions and there are smaller ones that focus on details. Today we will be focusing on the latter category and present some important tips that many website owners just overlook for different reasons.
Upgrade your antivirus service
If you are still using the free version of an antivirus program then you might want to consider upgrading to the full version. Yes, it's paid, but it also offers extra features which you could put to good use. When you are a simple user, you can sometimes get away with only having the free version. However when you administer an entire website, you have a lot more threats to worry about and every bit of help counts. Luckily, you don't have to spend a fortune on your antivirus solution. You can find good deals online, such as malwarebytes deals.
Always update
You would be surprised how many websites have an outdated platform. Updating the software is not optional. It is a mandatory requirement and not managing to fulfill this duty you have towards your own website will probably result in having to deal with hackers and external threats. Updating plays a huge part in keeping the entire infrastructure safe.
Manage permissions and access
If you currently grant high end permissions to a lot of people, you might want to reconsider that position. Make sure that the circle of people who have access to the highest levels of security clearance on your website is as small as possible. The best way to keep a website out of harm's way is to reduce the chances of it being compromised right from the start.
Stay up to date with the latest about your tools
If you use plugins, software or features to enhance your website, you need to make it your business to always know what state they are in. If a dangerous vulnerability is found in a plugin you are using, you need to find out about it as soon as possible so you can remove it from your website.
