Japan is known worldwide for its unbelievably crazy inventions. But even though people around the world view their inventions as "weird" and unnecessary, these actually have their respective benefits. Japan also has a huge market for strange and niche face-toning beauty products which the country is famous for.
Here are 10 of the weirdest and head-scratching beauty gadgets from Japan:
Bigan Beauty Face Expander
Although when worn, this beauty product makes an unsightly visual, the Bigan Beauty Face Expander is a unique face muscle training mask which helps you keep your skin youthful and pliant.
Comfortable to wear and easy to use, the expander works on the cheeks, chin and other areas of the face that sag with age as it is used by wrapping the ends of the mask around your ears and placing the mouthpiece between your lips.
For best results, users should use the expander everyday while mouthing words such as "pa" and "ku" over and over again for 10 minutes.
Small Face Slimmer Wings Exerciser
Like the Bigan face expander, the Small Face Slimmer Wings Exerciser is a unique beauty tool that helps you achieve a slimmer and youthful look.
This should be bitten for 30 seconds a day. Aside from training your cheeks and mouth, this mouthpiece has wings that, when flapped up and down, will exercise your jaw and help fight sagging cheeks and aging. Breathing rhythmically through the mouthpiece also helps slim your stomach.
Facial Lift at Once Face Trainer
This beauty gadget not only draws attention for its very unusual design, but also because of its simple yet effective functionality.
The Facial Lift At Once tool brings a vibrating effect that works on your cheeks, chin, lips, mouth and even nose. The electric pulse has four different levels of strength and in a complete 360-degree spread, pushing and working on facial muscles little by little every time.
It is easy to use, just put the tool in your mouth once a day for three minutes and feel the electric buzzing work all over your face. Make sure that the device avoids contact from the teeth.
Facewaver Exercise Mask
Made of nylon and polyurethane, the Facewaver mask exercises the face muscles in several directions as it stretches and tightens the face and cheeks, kneading out wrinkles, lines and sag, and improving and increasing blood circulation to the surface of your face.
This might give an awkward appearance and sensation, but it's worth trying for the sake of beauty. Use it only five minutes a day and your face will appear more youthful and energetic.
Germanium Kogao Sauna Face Mask
To get rid of the unwanted face fats, this beauty tool is quite handy. Using the power of sweat, this mask brings a sauna-like feel as you strap it on your face.
The Germanium materials used in the mask tenses muscles and produces sweat, shrinking the face to create a more slender, attractive profile. After using, results can be noticed immediately. This can be used by both men and women.
Kuwaete Sukkiri Tongue Exerciser
The Kuwaete Sukkiri Tongue Exerciser can be used with three muscle-building techniques that can help improve your face line and flabby, sagging cheeks. For one minute a day, put the mouthpiece over your tongue and feel it work as you exercise your mouth and facial muscles. Although awkward to use, the device is actually quite comfortable and even has a grapefruit flavor!
Taruman Mouth Exercise Training Figure
This invention is weird and funny as it needs to be put on your lips. This is the Taruman Mouth Exercise Training Figure — a little elastic man which is used to help train numerous parts of your mouth and face that you don't regularly use.
As the little figure is balanced on your mouth, the user must close it without the teeth touching. Do it 3 minutes a day and it will help tighten the muscles around your mouth and jaw, fighting skin sag and other signs of aging.
Eyelid Frame Trainer
Since one of the loved features of Japanese women is their double eyelid, this kind of beauty tool is one painless and cheap way to get rid of mono-lid.
The Eyelid Trainer is worn like normal pair of glasses. It looks silly but, as you blink, you're eyelids will be trained to achieve a bigger size. This product is "reported to have sold 7,000 units in its first month of sales alone" according to the Japan Trend Shop.
Hana Tsun Nose Straightener
Many people are insecure about the structure of their nose. Without undergoing plastic surgery, you can now achieve a perfect nose. This beauty product is an easier and less expensive way to achieve it..
This might look silly but, if used 20 minutes per day, it is believed to create a slimmer and taller nose. It is easy to wear and has widely shaped so it can fit a greater variety of nostrils and noses. It also comes with adjusters to change the tightness of the fit.
Breast Gymnastics Hand Massager
No, it is not what you think it is. Most women, aside from their nose, gets insecure with their breast size. Bizarre as it looks, this tool is a special massager that helps shape and tone the bust into a better form.
This helping "hand" can return the breast to their original buoyant beauty. Not only that, it can also be used for many other purposes like reaching points of your back that your hands can't reach.

The People's Power Party, the newest political party on the block, will contest Chua Chu Kang GRC in the upcoming polls.
Its founder, veteran opposition politican Goh Meng Seng, will likely lead the team. He announced this during a walkabout around Lot 1 shopping mall on Sunday morning.
The area falls under Chua Chu Kang GRC, currently led by Health Minister Gan Kim Yong.
It has been redrawn from a five-MP to a four-MP GRC.
Mr Alex Yam's Yew Tee ward will no longer be part of the constituency in the upcoming polls. It will, instead, join the Woodgrove and Marsiling wards in the new Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC.
In the 2011 general election, the People's Action Party defeated the National Solidarity Party(NSP) in Chua Chu Kang GRC, clinching 61.2 per cent of the vote.
Mr Goh is former secretary-general of the NSP.
On Sunday, Mr Goh, 45, was accompanied by Mr Syafarin Sarif, 39, who ran with Mr Goh in Tampines GRC in 2011, and three men in purple, the party colour.
The party has so far kept tight-lipped about its party members and potential slate of candidates. Mr Goh said they would disclose more details in good time.
The PPP is also looking at possibly standing in an SMC, but Mr Goh said he would announce their decision after a meeting of opposition parties on Monday night.

MARSEILLE boss Rudi Garcia has slammed Patrice Evra for his Cantona-style kick on a fan.
The former Manchester United defender lashed out at a supporter after a heated exchange of words BEFORE the Europa League clash against Vitoria Guimaraes.
Evra then swung a leg towards the crowd starting a mass melee and Garcia acknowledged a player of the Frenchman's experience should have kept his cool.
Garcia told BeIn Sports: "Pat has experience and he must not react, it's obvious.
"Patrice is a more than experienced player and we cannot respond to insults so low and so incredible because they come from one of our supporters."
Garcia also blamed the victim of Evra's karate kick, claiming he is not a true fan of the club after continuously insulting their own players.
On the fan, Garcia said: "He is not a supporter of OM, because you cannot insult your own players, you have to be behind everyone."
Video from the incident appears to show Evra scale the advertising and barriers to get to the fan in the Estadio D Afonso Henriques in Guimaraes.
PAT ATTACK Evra does a Cantona and KICKS Marseille fan in the head before referee sends off star
French newspaper L'Equipe are claiming it could be Evra's last ever act in a Marseille shirt.
Evra won five Premier League titles and the Champions League during his eight-year spell at Old Trafford, but has made two appearances for Marseille this season.
most read in football
Former France boss Raymond Domenech described the action as a "suicide" to L'Equipe TV.
Domenech, who coached Evra for the national team, added: "He knows it's over and he will not play anymore."
Evra has come under-fire from supporters and former players for his lacklustre performances and antics off the pitch.

PE & Sport Premium
KS2 Physical Education and Sport Premium
At Trevelyan Middle School we are very proud of what we have on offer and our specialist provision; we recognise the significant contribution of PE to the health and well-being of all children. In addition, we believe that a varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all children. We actively involve our Year 8 Sports Leaders in the organisation and activities offered to KS2 pupils.
The government has allocated additional funding on improving physical education (PE) and sport in primary school academic years. The funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport. As a middle school we will receive funding for our key stage 2 pupils. We will use this allocated money for the benefit of all pupils regardless of their sporting ability and further extend our range on offer.
KS2 Physical Education and Sport Premium - Action Plan 2018
Sports Premium Projected Spend 2019-2020
Sports Premium Projected Spend 2020-2021
As a Middle School we do not offer swimming to our KS2 students as they receive lessons at their first schools at KS1.
There is a clip from the Swim England website stating that additional swimming can be provided to target pupils:
About the PE and sport premium funding:
Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6 (or pupils aged five to 10 if they don't follow year groups).
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE and sport they offer. For swimming and water safety this includes:
provide additional swimming provision targeted to pupils not able to meet the swimming requirements of the national curriculum
Based on this advice we send out a questionnaire to parents of students in Year 6 in Term 1 / 2 and ask them to confirm what first school their child attends, whether their child has ever received swimming lessons and whether their child can swim 25m (which they should be aware of from their first school).
Based on this information received it is collated into a spreadsheet and the students who have been listed as not being able to swim 25m are offered Booster sessions with a contribution from the Sport Premium funding.
In 2018 we are taking 16 children off to Windsor Leisure Centre for booster sessions during Term 5.
Questionnaire Results for 2017/2018
Had Swimming lessons in first schools
Yes 97% (146 pupils)
No 1% (1 pupils)
No response 2% (3 pupils)
Parents Declaration their child can swim 25m
Yes 80% (120 pupils)
No 18% (27 pupils)

How to hack Gangstar Vegas? Read below!
Are you depressed by the fact that almost all weapons are closed? Would you like to open it, and also get a huge amount of money, and keys, and much more? In this case, we have something that you need so much.
Gangstar Vegas not mod is an impressive sandbox game, giving the player the opportunity to relax from everyday life and enjoy an explosive action, take part in exciting races or enjoy poker in a casino – otherwise, which is Vegas. Neon signs, bright lights of gigantic skyscrapers, wide streets and draw attention to themselves, not seriously dragging into the world of the game, which is created on the principle "what I want, then I turn." If someone is not interested in just performing tasks in sandbox`e, then you can perform story missions, which is quite enough.
Cheat codes Gangstar Vegas Android and iOS:
- To get 990 000 free Cash Gangstar Vegas – B-fg239gwiv – free code
One thing only a little darkens the gameplay of the game – a possible shortage of so-called "game currencies": diamonds, cash banknotes and keys. But without them we are deprived of many opportunities provided by the developer. Without diamonds, we can not see the VIP status with its special bonuses, such as accelerated energy recovery and increased credibility.
Without banknotes, consider that the store (and therefore new cars with steeper "guns") is literally gone. Keys of course are not so necessary for a full-fledged game, but you will not want to remain a deprived case player.
What to do? Of course you can enter the game every day, actively perform all tasks, raise the level of the character, but agree that all this is a little boring and very quickly annoying. Fortunately, the craftsmen for this purpose came up with a so-called hacked Gangstar Vegas cheats, which by simple machinations allows you to get at once an almost countless number of game currency, and therefore instantly discover new opportunities. Difficulties in hack almost should not arise – just need to download and install a modified cheat file (file with Apk-extension) of the game Gangstar Vegas, after unpacking the game cache for the device.
Incoming Terms:
- Gangstar Vegas
- Gangstar Vegas hack
- Gangstar Vegas android
- Gangstar Vegas mod

text: y Larry Neely . . . The National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws (NARSOL) has filed an amicus curiae brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in support of Stephen Edward May, whose conviction for child molestation in an Arizona case has been set aside by the federal court in Arizona. NARSOL's interest in May's case rests on the Arizona statute defining the offense of child molestation to require the accused to prove that any contact with an underage child did not result from a sexual interest or motivation. The law, which was upheld by the Arizona Supreme Court in State v. Holle, 240 Ariz. 300, 379 P.3d 197 (2016), essentially requires an accused to prove that he is not guilty of the crime, rather than preserving the traditional presumption in American law that the individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

1. Tell us a little bit about your role at Examinetics, and how your role contributes to the overall mission of Examinetics.
My role as a Client Engagement Specialist is to be the voice for the client. As part of a dedicated team focused on client needs in day-to-day operation, we have made client satisfaction a top priority. The Client Engagement Team ensures helpful assistance and timely communication for our clients. As the Examinetics mission is largely focused on customer satisfaction, the Client Engagement role shines as an example of our commitment.
2. How does your role contribute to the health and safety of America's workforce?
Education is key! My daily mission is to inform and educate our clients. For instance, I help clients learn occupational protocols, services and requirements as well as how to utilize the tools Examinetics provides. In the Client Engagement role, our team focuses on being the best source of information to help our clients manage their program confidently.
3. What's the most rewarding part of your job?
The most rewarding part of my job is knowing that our clients have someone they can contact when in need. When a client calls and asks for assistance on reporting, or understanding the services we offer, or simply knowing their regulatory agency requirements, we are here to help. So much of my role involves keeping our customer partners informed and when that happens, it makes a world of difference in the confidence our clients put in us!
4. What is the key to developing trusting relationships?
I find constant communication really contributes to a trusting relationship, internally and with our clients. Recently, I spoke with a customer who was in immediate need of a report. Within minutes, I was able to provide the requested report and the customer was extremely grateful. Relationships are not only about reactive communication but proactive – anticipating what someone may need and being there for support. I think that being available, responsive, professional and knowledgeable in the services we offer, all contribute to a successful business relationship with our clients.
5. What projects are you working on now? What's planned for the client engagement team?

The polyphonic BASS9 Bass Machine transforms a guitar into nine different basses and requires no special pickups, MIDI or instrument modifications. It relies on the same technology powering all EHX 9 Series pedals, like the award winning MEL9 Tape Replay Machine, but features a new algorithm maximized for transposing one to two octaves down with superior dynamics and tracking.
A rotary switch allows the user to select the sound of their choice, as follows:
PRECISION: Pays homage to the iconic Fender P Bass
LONGHORN: Emulates the Danelectro 6-string bass, ideal for baritone type tones
FRETLESS: Features both electric and standup fretless basses.
SYNTH: A tribute to the classic Taurus Synthesizer
VIRTUAL: Lets the user adjust the basss body density and neck length for a variety of bass sounds
BOWED: Classic bowed bass
SPLIT BASS: Makes it possible for the guitarist to play bass on the lower strings (all notes below F#3) and chords or melody with the higher strings.
3:03: A polyphonic salute to the sought after Roland TB-303 vintage bass synth
FLIP-FLOP: Inspired by EHXs Octave Multiplexer, it provides a 70s style logic driven sub-octave generator that tracks without glitches.
The pedal is equipped with independent Effect and Dry volume controls so guitarists can precisely tune their mix at the Effects output jack, plus an always-active Dry output jack that outputs the input signal at unity gain.
Controls 1 and 2 have been designed to adjust specific parameters for each of the nine programs. For example, in PRECISION, CTRL 1 controls the sub-octaves while CTRL 2 imitates the original instruments tone control.
The BASS9 comes equipped with a standard EHX 9.6DC200mA power supply.

Quick Start
1. Install the OpsDash Smart Agent on the Apache or Nginx server that you wish to monitor. If you need instructions for how to do this, here they are: Debian/Ubuntu, CentOS/RHEL, Generic.
2. Edit the OpsDash Smart Agent configuration file at /etc/opsdash/agent.cfg and add a new service:
# choose a good, unique name for the service (here my-haproxy-1 is used)service "my-haproxy-1" {type = "haproxy"# point to the HTTP URL for the stats pageurl = "http://127.0.0.1:9999/haproxy?stats"# you can also set the username and password if you have basic auth for the URL#user = "myuser"#pass = "mypass"# you can also use the stats socket instead of the HTTP URL:# url = "unix:///var/lib/haproxy/stats"}
3. Reload the OpsDash Smart Agent so that it picks up the new configuration:
sudo service opsdash-agent reload
4. You should see the service my-haproxy-1 appear under https://app.opsdash.com/sources within a minute or so. Clicking on it should take you to the dashboard at https://app.opsdash.com/source/my-haproxy-1. If it does not, check the agent log file at /var/log/opsdash/agent.log.
HAProxy Configuration
OpsDash supports HAProxy 1.4 and above. Please refer the HAProxy documentation for all the options. Typically, the relevant parts of the configuration are something like this:
globalstats socket /var/lib/haproxy/statslisten statsbind 127.0.0.1:9999mode httpstats enablestats uri /haproxy?statsstats auth myuser:mypass

Blue = PU2
Green = PU20
Red = PU40
Pile Up 2 = Blue
Pile Up 20 = Green
Pile up 40 = Red
Energy of the Superclusters located exclusivly within the barrel (0.0 < #eta < 1.48). The effect of pile up increases the number of low energy Superclusters that are formed. This is expressed in the peak at low energies. The flat distrabution across the majority of the energy band is a representation of the flat distrabution simulated by the dielectron gun simulation. A quick drop off at 500 GeV occurs because the simuation only was set create electrons up to 500 GeV.
Energy of the Super Clusters located exclusivly within the endcap (1.5 < #eta 3.0). Here the effect of pile up creating low energy Superclusters is more pronounced. One hypothesis for this having a larger effect within the endcap is the number of minbias particles that are below the in-spiral threshold. The flat disbrabution of the simulation is shown again and a sharp drop off at 500 GeV again occurs.
This shows the total collection of unmatched superclusters in the detector. This is the of the suberclusters that were not matched to an electron from the dielectron gun. Thus ,apart from misreconstruction, this is the collection of superclusters that were created exclusively due to pile up. The two seperate peaks show that the minbias particles statistically tend to form superclusters at two different energies. As pile up increase it can be seen that both number of superclusters formed and mean energy of the supercluster go up.
This is the collection of unmatched superclusters that are within the barrel. It appears to be a zoomed in image of the smaller peak on the collection of all unmatched superclusters. The relation between increasing pile up and increasing number and energy of the supercluster collection is visble here as well. The drop off at 0 GeV is a shape which indicates that there is an energy cut on an element of the reconstruction. There is also a drop in the high side tail which is most noticeable in the 20 and 40 pile up case.
This is the collection of unmatched superclusters that are within the endcap. This appears to be the higher of the peaks seen on the plot of all unmatched superclusers. Again the relation between increasing pile up and increasing number and energy of the supercluster collection is visble. The cut near 0 GeV here occurs at a higher energy. The high side tail is smooth and continuous for all three pile up simulations. There are many more unmatched superclusers within the endcap as compared to the barrel. This is believed to be mostly due to in-spiral.

My mom has taught in very urban schools since I was just a small child. When I went to work with her on days I didn't have school, I was able to see just how different my life was from those of her students. Where I had hundreds of books in my room at home, some of her kids didn't have even one book in their whole house. I give books away across the state of Ohio and anywhere they are needed. So far, I have donated over 70,000 books!

How Much Tax Will the $1.6 Billion Mega Millions Lottery Winner Have to Pay?
The media has been on fire with lottery stories these past few weeks, as the Mega Millions lottery in the U.S. crept ever higher, before finally reaching a near-record breaking $1.6 billion dollars. Now, it has been revealed that a single ticket sold in South Carolina is the winner- meaning that one person (or group of people) is set to hear life-changing news. While the win is historic, it will also come with… Read More

Leaves are changing. Temperatures are dropping. Swimsuits have been traded for sweaters, and summer shandys for autumnal brews. It's officially fall, the season for carving pumpkins, picking apples, getting lost in corn mazes, and seeking the "good" kind of scares. Whether you're looking to carry on timeless traditions, or try something new, we've got a cornucopia of fun fall activities for you to choose from.
Pumpkins Galore
Whether you like 'em tall and skinny or squat and wide, painted, carved, or left as-is, no fall is complete without that perfect pumpkin. Find yours at DeCastro Farms, Quonset View Farm, or Escobar's Farm in Portsmouth; Old Stone Orchard or Young Family Farm in Little Compton; Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown; or Frerichs Farm in Warren, where you can also witness gigantic gourds during their annual Pumpkin Weigh-Off on October 12!
Pick Apples
Apple picking is a timeless, treasured fall tradition, and lucky for us, rural Rhode Island is ripe with farms full of McIntosh, Macouns, and more! Fill your basket or bag with fruit from Old Stone Orchard in Little Compton or Rocky Brook Orchard and Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown.
Fun Frights
Beware – this Rhody haunt is not for the faint of heart. If you're a thrill-seeker, check out the real-life haunted Fort Adams in Newport that transforms into Fortress of Nightmares the last two weekends of this month.
Get Lost
There's nothing quite like the corn maze at Escobar's Farm in Portsmouth. It's eight acres of themed fun, this year celebrating the wizarding world. Once you find your way out of the maze, enjoy other attractions like concessions and hayrides.

Google, in its next phone, wants to introduce the next big thing: a way to control our screens without touching the screen.
Google's gesture technology is a glimpse of a touchless future. When Google's next flagship smartphone, the Pixel 4, arrives this fall, it will respond to a series of gesture interactions—a pinch of the fingers, or a wave of the hand—without the user ever needing to touch the screen. Taken together, Google calls these controls "Motion Sense." A teaser video shows a woman unlocking her new Pixel with a blink, then waving her hand to cycle through a series of songs playing on her phone.
When the Pixel 4 comes out, it will only have a few gesture controls: snoozing alarms, skipping songs, silencing phone calls. But by the time Pixel owners get used to pinching their fingers together and rotating their thumb on invisible dials, a seismic shift will already be underway. Gesture technology will further turn our devices into extensions of ourselves; we move our fingers, and the feedback shows up on a screen. That type of interaction won't end with phones. One day, we might control every screen with a flick of the wrist.
Google's gesture technology is merely a glimpse of a touchless future. Just like the iPhone taught millions of people to interact with their world by tapping and swiping, the Pixel may train us on a new kind of interaction, changing how we expect to interact with all of our devices going forward.
Ivan Poupyrev, the technical projects lead at Google's Advanced Technology and Projects division, has been working toward that future for years. Five years ago, Poupyrev founded Project Soli, a skunkworks lab at Google to invent better gesture controls using miniaturized radar technology. The team developed a chip that's smaller than the size of a nickel and studded with sensors. Those sensors emit electromagnetic waves that pick up on motion, then translate it into data. Google says the technology works better than 3D cameras to capture fine motions, like pinching together two fingers to "press" a button on the screen.
In January, the Federal Communications Commission gave the technology its nod of approval, noting that the Soli chip "will serve the public interest by providing for innovative device control features using touchless hand gesture technology." The Pixel 4, expected to land in October, will be its commercial debut.
But Google's vision goes beyond just consumer convenience. As Brandon Barbello, a product manager for Pixel, put it in a blog post, the initial capabilities of Motion Sense "are just the start." Poupyrev has already worked on efforts to create connected textiles, like a denim jacket that lets you answer a phone call with a swipe of the sleeve. And the Soli chip could just as easily slide into the crown of a smartwatch, or the visor of a VR headset, or the dashboard of a smart car.
If Google gets it right, the Pixel 4 won't just be a popular smartphone. It will be the start of a new kind of interaction with our devices.

Rather than get into the very clear and self-explanatory parable of the seed and the sower, along with all its moral implications, let's focus on something simpler. "Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea." Why? Maybe it had nothing to do with theological or pedagogical reasons. After all, he talks about a farmer when he's sitting next to a lake. You'd think he would use a parable about fishing.
What if the reason he went and sat down by the sea was just so he could enjoy nature. Looking out over the beautiful Sea of Galilee may have been something he wanted to do, just to do it. The crowds came and gathered around him but his intention may have been just to appreciate creation and be calm beside the waters he would later walk on.
What's the point? Stop today, leave your house or place of work and sit down to appreciate nature, even just for a short time. Appreciate God's creation before you, whether it be the sky, a body of water, a forest, a field- whatever. Take a deep breath, relax, and soak it all in. Jesus did.

Pompeii: The Last Day
From DocuWiki
[edit] General Information
History Documentary published by BBC, Discovery Channel in 2003 - English narration
[edit] Cover
[edit] Information
On 24 August AD79, the sleeping giant Mount Vesuvius erupted with horrifying force, destroying the prosperous Roman cities Pompeii and Herculeneum. Their inhabitants were subjected to 24 hours of untold horror. Four million tonnes of pumice, rock and ash rained on the towns, suffocating the life out of the cities, and burying alove those who had been unable to flee.
Pompeii - The Last Day recreates that momentous day, and shows first hand the horror of Pompeii's last hours. Factual characters based on historical and forensic evidence unearthed in Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as extracts from Gauis Plinius Monor's account of the disaster, help bring to life one of the most notorious disasters in history.
Using stunning visual effects, the film recreates each stage of the 24 hour eruption and explores the devastating impact on the main characters; Julius Polybius, wealthy baker and aspiring politician; Stephanus, a cloth worker and social climber and his wife Fortunata Celadus the celebrity gladiator; Pliny the elder, in charge of the rescue mission; and, finally, Pliny the younger, who documents the horrors of the tragedy.
The highest ever rated history documentary on the BBC at the time of its release in 2003, it was reportedly watched by more than 10 million people.

In the second of two discussions chaired by Catering Insight editor, Clare Nicholls, at the inaugural Commercial Kitchen show, the subject of value engineering was under the spotlight, and whether equipment substitution is making a mockery of the market.
An expert panel comprising Iain Munro, MD of ScoMac Catering Equipment, Tyron Stephens-Smith, designer, TAG Catering Equipment, and Carla McKenzie, MD of MYA Consulting, discussed how project partners can really get value out of a commercial kitchen scheme.
CN: What is your response when end users request that a kitchen project is value engineered?
CM: Before you start a project you should establish a sensible and realistic budget with the client. On that basis you would have teased out a substantial design brief and looked at the business proposition to accompany that and a number of other factors. So if you're at the point where you are looking for large scale savings, then I think that it's important to go back to the first principles of that design and where the client started with the vision.
IM: Value engineering is a difficult topic, particularly with independent clients who have perhaps set an unrealistic aspirational budget about the equipment they want to select. There are a number of other reasons the question might be asked, such as building constraints. The bottom line is that the kitchen is always going to be sacrificed to the front of house when it comes down to budget.
But I think the concern we would have is about establishing that they fully understand what the budget requirements are to deliver the offer that they are trying to set up. So it is a situation where we could easily help them in providing alternatives around some of the less key elements.
On a project where the end user has engaged with a professional consultant, it would probably be the builders that are asking us for value engineering, because they are looking to take advantage of the specification. We have regularly lost work because people have exposed or taken advantage of a specification. The client may not know what he's actually got until the end result. But that's not saying that some clients do go through that process with a professional consultant to come up with a scheme, and then want to start making savings.

Since the month of April when Aarohi's project to "Reduce Infant and Maternal Mortality in the Himalaya" was posted on Global Giving's website, people from all walks of life have found it in their hearts to contribute. These contributions have had an incredibly positive impact on the project, benefiting whole communities through Aarohi's Mother and Child health program.
Located in the Kumaon Himalyas of Uttarakhand, India, Aarohi's project serves a population of approximately 12,500. Funds raised on the Global Giving website have enabled Aarohi to offer extensive community-based training to Traditional Birth Attendants and local Health Workers. Under the guidance of Aarohi's health team, these Traditional Birth Attendants and Health Workers provided support to 240 pregnant women in the months of April and May, performing essential antenatal check-ups and treatment for anemia. For the 43 women who gave birth during these months, all have received postnatal check-ups to see that both mother and child are in good health and well-looked after. Following all births in the villages, Health Workers are trained to monitor the growth and development of the child through Aarohi's comprehensive program to prevent and combat malnourishment. Currently this program looks after nearly 800 children from ages 0-3 years and has recently provided full primary immunizations to 224 children. Because not all illness among children in the villages can be avoided, during the months of April and May Health Workers also provided treatment to the 234 children who fell sick, referring them to a hospital when necessary.
This work has been made possible by all those who have kindly donated to Aarohi's project. We truly cannot thank you enough for your generosity. With continued support Aarohi's project will surely benefit many more Mothers and Children, while providing a sustainable livelihood to local Health Workers and Traditional Birth Attendants in these remote mountain villages.
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you will get an e-mail when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports via e-mail without donating.
We'll only email you new reports and updates about this project.

The issue is when stress becomes persistent, and is not pleasurable. This then contributes to chronic elevation of the stress hormone cortisol, instantly triggering anxiousness.

So, I realize this is something that is typically found in an LCMS type product, but I do see other competitors starting to really merge the two types of systems into one.
When I say course modularity:
- I create Course A with (in context of Bridge):
- Welcome page
- Content Video slide
- 3 Questions slides
- Now I create Course B
- I want to use the same video that's in Course A, but I don't want to have to upload the same video a second time.
Basically I'm thinking about a Media Library. Have the LMS have a repository of media content that can be referenced multiple times. Then if I update 1 video that's referenced in 6 courses, all 6 courses are updated where they have that video.
Thoughts everyone?
Edit (2/21/2017):
Honestly, just looking at how an LCMS functions, if Bridge were able to really merge the overall functionality of an LCMS into Bridge, I feel like that may attract a larger audience.

"Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." 1Sa 7:12
The Bible says, "Then Samuel took a stone…and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, 'Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.'" As you end this year and look back, what do you see? Monuments to failure? Wasted opportunities? When it comes to your failures, God says, "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins" (Isa 43:25). When it comes to your wasted opportunities, God says, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten" (Joel 2:25 NKJV). A wise man said, "If we do not learn from the past we are doomed to repeat it." It's okay to look back and learn, but if you drive looking in the rearview mirror you'll end up in a ditch. Whether good or bad, don't get stuck in the past. "Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this" (Ecc 7:10). One of the dangers of growing old is that you become more excited over the past than you are over the future. A lady wrote to a newspaper editor and said, "Your newspaper is not as good as it used to be." He wrote back and quipped, "It never has been." God says, "I know the plans I have for you…they are plans for good" (Jer 29:11 TLB). God has a plan for you this year. So, "hats off to the past and coats off to the future!" Roll up your sleeves, go to work, and expect great things from God.

World is Work
From December 4th (2010) until January 22nd (2011) at Martin Kwade's project-room Kwadrat (Adalberstr.20, Berlin) the exhibition World is Work has brought together work of two Spanish artists Santiago Sierra and Octavi Comeron and the German-born Ignacio Uriarte plus the Spanish artists team PSJM formed by Pablo San José and Cynthia Viera. Curated by the art historian José María Durán, the exhibition departs from a discussion with the classical Greek conception of 'poiesis' (doing) which is used to unveil the intrinsic bond existing between artistic activity and the world of labour. The works on exhibition represent different approaches to labour: from Sierra's absurd task to PSJM's presentation of the artist as brand, through Comeron's tribute to the blue-collar and Uriarte's recovery of the aesthetic side of routine labour. These approaches serve to rethink artistic creation in terms of work.

The Family Faculty Organization of Jerabek Elementary School (FFO) is an organization similar to a PTA, made up of parents, community members, and staff who work together to provide students with added enrichment to their existing curriculum.
The FFO consists of its Members, the FFO Board, the FFO Executive Board, and the FFO Programs/ Fundraisers. The enrichment can take the form of supplies, and programs such as Art Corps or DARE or aides in our Library and Computer Labs. The FFO Programs each have a designated purpose.
They are chaired by parents and can represent enrichment or fundraising or both. Some examples are: Yearbook, Field Day, Ranch Round-up, Family Math and Family Science Nights, Wrapping Paper sales, Super Pledge Drive and Book Fair. The FFO Board meets monthly to discuss all matters of FFO business. Officers on this Board are the President, President-Elect, Past-President, Treasurers, Secretary, the Vice-Presidents, the Members-at-Large, Administration and Faculty Representatives.
All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend any Board meeting. FFO meetings are generally held the first Friday of each month at 9:15 am. The FFO is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible.
Parents and guardians should join the FFO because any contribution you make, whether it is financial or personal, will significantly improve the quality of education at Jerabek. Historically, the FFO has been highly visible at Jerabek and it shows. It shows in our enthusiastic student population, the quality of learning they experience, and the healthy and enriched environment we have helped create for them.
Although volunteer work is often thankless and demanding, it is also rewarding in ways that cannot be easily measured. Volunteer work comes from the heart, and that in itself is its own reward.

Drove to the post office after work yesterday and picked up my own PYO painted for me from the Windstone Forum PYO swap. It's a darling blue-eyed kirin and I really love it!
And today brings the fun of juxtaposition. Good Friday today (so work is pretty empty) AND as there's a full moon, it's the Spring Council meeting today as well. Not only that, but my book 2 verbal edits have brought me to the Spring Council meeting chapters. What a treat!
They're talking 3 or more inches (7.6 cm) of snow today...this could be fun!

Starz's film download service shuts
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Liberty Media Corp.'s pay TV subsidiary Starz is pulling the plug on its Vongo movie-download service in favor of letting Verizon Communications Inc. and other affiliates market a similar service.
Starz said it had notified visitors to Vongo's website that it was no longer accepting new subscribers as of Aug. 1 and that the Vongo service would cease after Sept. 30.
It directed users to sign up for Starz Play, an identical service offered through Verizon for $5.99 a month, regardless of whether they were already a Verizon customer.
Starz is looking to partner with additional service providers.

One should never start by apologising – but sorry for the slight hiatus in publishing updates; this was due to the regular key tapper taking a trip to Germany to carry out research for the Trust's magazine – Moseley Matters. Available to members four times a year (visit www.mrt.org.uk to become a member). To prove it, one of the photos is NOT taken at Apedale – can you spot it? Anyway, back to home happenings. As we come to the end of the winter maintenance period, many projects are coming to fruition. The steam locos have all been undergoing the annual examinations, and Mr Boiler seems happy. "Stanhope" is in the last year of the current boiler ticket, so best to see it in action this year if you have the chance.
The new coach, ex the Ffestiniog Railway, has run into a couple of engineering issues which have delayed completion – but we are through those now. The second bogie has been fitted back under the coach. This was rather more complicated than it sounds, because the coach stands on a dead-end road, and it's not possible to run the second bogie all the way under the vehicle. Hence the bogie had to be run down a parallel track, and then traversed across the the track on which the coach stands – what could be simpler?

Grubb Properties Moves Ahead with Plans for $35.5M Link-Branded Apartment Project
- By
- May 07, 2014
by Adriana Pop, Associate Editor
The Triangle's first Link-branded apartment community will soon rise in the vibrant Glenwood South district of downtown Raleigh.
According to the Triangle Business Journal, Grubb Properties and its New York-based equity partner, The Kalikow Group, have recently acquired the development's 1.3-acre site for $5.45 million.
Upon completion in the spring of 2015, the $36.5 million Link Apartments Glenwood South project at 201 N. Harrington Street will offer a total of 203 apartments, including studio, one and two-bedroom units.
Located within walking distance to several shops, restaurants, and clubs, the six-story property will also feature a variety of amenities, including an integrated parking deck for 243 cars, a clubhouse and leasing center, a fitness center, a cycle center, a dog park and a large outdoor pool and terrace area with a summer kitchen pavilion.
Designed by architecture firm Cline Design Associates, the apartments will be developed under Grubb's Link brand, which targets millennial renters who prefer to live in urban areas that offer easy access to jobs, entertainment and cultural amenities.
Todd Williams, executive vice president of investments for Grubb Properties, told the newspaper that the Glenwood South project would be the company's third Link-branded apartment development. Grubb's first such community opened in Richmond in 2013, and the second one is scheduled to open in Winston-Salem this summer.
In regional news, the Triangle Business Journal reports that a group of North Carolina investors and real estate developers are planning the construction of a 2,100-acre senior living community at Oak Island along the North Carolina coastline.
Plans call for a total of 2,250 residential units, including single-family and multi-family homes, cottages, condominiums, townhouses and assisted living facilities.
Known as The Charles, the development could nearly double Oak Island's population of approximately 6,700 people. Construction on the first phase of the project, which will include health care, retail services and independent living units, could begin this fall.

What is the World Bank doing sponsoring a fashion show, as models sashayed in various shades of blue down the ramp in Mumbai, India, this March?
The event, called the Blue Runway, marked the launch of the Bank's WEvolve program, which aims to empower young men and women to challenge societal norms that lead to gender-based violence. The color blue was used to represent a call to action against gender-based violence – from both men and women – and the program uses power of the creative industries – including fashion, digital and social media, performing arts, film, music etc. – to create awareness and drive social change.
The concept was visualized by Maria Correia, Manager for Social Development in South Asia, and one of the Bank's leading advocates on gender issues. It is based on the premise that young people can 'evolve', develop new attitudes and behaviors, and build healthy relationships that reduce the risk of gender violence.
While the subject is still taboo in many parts of the world, the statistics point to a grim reality: the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than one billion women – or 35 percent of women worldwide - have faced, or will face, intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.
And the problem does not affect just women alone. Violence against men, which is both under-researched and under-reported, is a closely related issue.
