Teenagers 'Step-Up' to receive awards
Young people who had previously been struggling with mainstream education have been honoured for their achievements at Romsey Mill's 'Step-Up' graduation night, held at Cambridge University Press.
The 'Step-Up' education programme is Romsey Mill's course for young people (aged 14-16) who are struggling to engage with mainstream school including those who have been, or are at risk of being, excluded. It aims to re-engage and provide vocational courses and qualifications.
The course has been inspired by experience in schools, colleges, and Pupil Referral Units (centres managed by local authorities for people excluded from mainstream school), and has been developed over a number of years.
Courses and awards offered as part of 'Step-Up' focus on enterprise, leadership, personal and team skills, and contribution to the community. They include: Arts Awards, St John's Ambulance Young First Aider Award, Sports Leadership, Cooking and Catering, Music Technology, Lifeguard training, Childcare, and a Diploma for Entry to the Uniformed Services (Fire, Police, Prison Service, RAF, Navy or Army).
For Ashley Hood, 16, attendance at 'Step-Up' has transformed his life. Ashley joined the course in September last year, having been excluded from mainstream schools a number of times, with behaviour he now describes himself as 'appalling'. He has turned things around and through 'Step-Up' and volunteering at Romsey Mill's Children's Centre, he is now on a career path towards becoming a qualified youth worker.
Neil Perry, CEO of Romsey Mill, said: "We are so proud of what these young people have achieved. It speaks volumes of their efforts and their hard work, and the efforts of the community they have around them - especially staff and volunteers from Romsey Mill and Cambridge University Press - who have given their time, money and support to the Step-Up programme and proved to these young people that they are valued and that there are options."
Heidi Mulvey, Head of Community Engagement for Cambridge University Press, said: "As an educational publisher and a major employer, Cambridge University Press is very proud to offer support to this vital education programme and to the young people involved on it. The awards night was a fantastic way of celebrating with their family and friends the result of their hard work, commitment and determination. We are sure they will all continue to pursue their new positive plans for the future."
Cambridge University Press has supported Romsey Mill since 2010, in particular its two education programmes, one of which is 'Step-Up', by offering expertise on projects, staff volunteering hours, services in kind, and donating, with the majority through staff fundraising efforts, £29,000 to Romsey Mill's education programmes so far.

Massacre Records (2011)
Original if weird name is just about the only such about this band. Presented is death metal encased (heavily!) in Killswitch Engage metalcore= deathcore!
7/10 compositions are your standard Killswitch Engage/Caliban/As I Lay Dying riffery and melodies so if you own even 1 CD of any of those 3 you've already heard most of the riffs on "Architects Of Perfection". The remaining 3 songs are where I would suggest to seek inspiration for the sequel.
The first, "Perfection", is a fine melodic tune but still very metalcore. "My Poison" and the closer are well-crafted and interesting tracks where an unusual clean croon is introduced. Finally, "Wandering" serves as a pleasant interlude before the closer.
Unless the experimentative tendencies prevail, I'm afraid Six Reasons To Kill might easily drown in the ocean of similar metalcore bands. There's some real potential and skill and even talent but this debut is a mess of well-conceived yet poorly organized ideas which had better change on album number two.

United face Chelsea on Monday night in Moyes' first Premier League game at Old Trafford since replacing Sir Alex Ferguson.
Despite opening their campaign with an eye-catching 4-1 win at Swansea, and seeing major rivals Manchester City surprisingly beaten at Cardiff on Sunday, there remains an air of negativity surrounding the club.
With no new signings and Wayne Rooney's future remaining uncertain, many outsiders wonder if United will have the durability to resist a challenge from Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho in particular.
Moyes expects the response to be a positive one.
"We are getting written off quite often," said the Scot.
"In the main, when that is the case, this club tends to say 'we'll show you'.
"It is in my nature. It was definitely in the previous manager's nature. And the supporters here understand that as well."
That United have been able to post what they claim to be a British record 63,000 season ticket sales underlines that their fans remain solidly behind Moyes.

Trane Commercial
In a direct-expansion (DX) unitary system, the evaporator is in direct contact with the air stream, so the cooling coil of the airside loop is also the evaporator of the refrigeration loop. The term "direct" refers to the position of the evaporator with respect to the airside loop.
The term "expansion" refers to the method used to introduce the refrigerant into the cooling coil. The liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion device (usually a valve) just before entering the cooling coil (the evaporator). This expansion device reduces the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant to the point where it is colder than the air passing through the coil.
The components of the DX unitary system refrigeration loop (evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion device and even some unit controls) may be packaged together, which provides for factory assembly and testing of all components, including the electrical wiring, the refrigerant piping, and the controls. This is called a Packaged DX system.
Alternatively, the components of the refrigeration loop may be split apart, allowing for increased flexibility in the system design. This is called a Split DX system. Separating the elements has the advantage of providing the system design engineer with complete flexibility to match components in order to achieve the desired performance.
One of the most common reasons for selecting a DX system, especially a packaged DX system, is that, in a smaller building, it frequently has a lower installed cost than a chilled-water system because it requires less field labor and has fewer materials to install. Packaged DX systems that use air-cooled condensers can be located on the roof of a building, in a small equipment room, or even within the perimeter wall of the building.
Additionally, if the tenants are paying the utility bills, multiple packaged DX units may make it easier to track energy use, as only the specific unit serving that tenant would be used to meet the individual cooling or heating requirements.
Factors affecting the decision to select DX Unitary or Chiller-Based Applied systems include:

Note: Items from this manufacturer normally ship within 3 days. However from time to time backorders occur; if this happens we will let you know as promptly as possible.
Every Bluetooth wireless enabled Kestrel will include custom communication software designed to quickly and easily configure your data transmission frequency, download logged data, graph data, and transfer data to other applications.
Data transmission range adjustment allows you to maximize power to communicate with your Kestrel at up to a 30 feet range, or reduce power for closer, more secure operation. Individual unit IDs ensure you pair with the Kestrel you want, even when more than one system is operating in the same area.
A little about NV: This unit has a night-vision preserving backlight which helps users to sustain natural night vision. The NV's backlight incorporates an optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. Additionally, NV backlights are also much dimmer than a standard backlight, making it more difficult to detect with the naked eye in night operations. This backlight appears soft grayish pink, not red, and is still in the visible spectrum, so is not compatible with night-vision equipment.

It takes 30 to 45 minutes for the average eye to adapt to darkness and maximize night vision.

Imagine the challenges we face in the U.S. of taking early-stage research from the lab to the marketplace, and combine those with the infrastructural and economic hardships faced by many African nations. Recent reports published on BioMed Central describe some of the challenges African nations experience when trying to turn local discoveries into drugs and other health-care inventions.
- Scientists in Africa have no incentive to commercialize results
- African nations have scant institutional support for knowledge transfer
- Venture capital is scarce
- Existing weak regulatory frameworks inhibit innovation and intellectual property protection

N.Korea tough for U.S. intel
North Korea is a challenge for the intelligence community but "the coverage is very extensive" and utilizes "imagery, intercepts and other means," a former senior U.S. official says.
"It's hard to get in there, but we do have external capabilities. Looking, listening and watching are all in play," the recently retired official said.
The apparent deployment comes amid escalating tensions in the region.
North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un has threatened to wage war against the United States and South Korea. Pyongyang has also severed a key military hotline with Seoul, declared void the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War, and announced it would restart a nuclear reactor.
Combined with forceful statements in support of its allies, the United States has displayed its armed prowess during annual military training exercises with South Korea.
North Korea then accused the United States of pushing the region to the "brink of war."
A U.S. official with direct knowledge of latest developments told CNN earlier on Thursday that missile and launch components were moved to the east coast of North Korea within the past few days.
The components, the official said, are consistent with those of a Musudan missile, which has a 2,500-mile range, meaning it could threaten South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia.
The United States has been looking for a hidden North Korean east coast launch site or mobile launchers, a concern because a launch from the East would go over Japan, the official said.
Moving a missile to the East coast is "very discernible," the former official said.
The mobile launchers are more difficult -- one or two might get through, the source said. But North Korea has limited routes to take whether by rail or road.
"It's not a large country with an intricate transportation system," the former official said.
What is difficult to ascertain is its uranium enrichment program. It could be buried in underground facilities where there are no air samples.
There are other shortfalls for gathering intelligence on North Korea, including a lack of human intelligence.
"We don't have physical access, minimal, if at all," the former official said.
The source said "we don't necessarily know where all facilities are, the amount of fissile material it has, how many actual weapons they have produced."
The former official agrees with the moves the United States has taken in response to the North Korea situation.
"Kim Jung Un and the hardliners need to know we are very serious, we have capabilities that are extensive, which extend to our allies in Japan and South Korea and that we are prepared to use them if North Korea does anything of a kinetic nature," the former official said.

The program base is historic Quito, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Educational excursions take students to the high sierras of the Andes, the epiphyte-rich cloud forest, the rugged snow-line páramo, and the vast rainforest of the Ecuadorian Amazon. A guided, weeklong visit to the extraordinary Galápagos Islands provides access to plant and animal species found nowhere else on earth.
In country resources and program partners generally include:
- Galápagos National Park
- Tiputini Biological Station
- La Florida Cloud Forest Reserve
- Papallacta Highlands
- La Hesperia reserve
- Jocotoco Foundation

Ecuador alum presents ISP at major undergraduate research conference Program alumna Marisa Martínez was selected to present research conducted for her Independent Study Project at the 2011 National Conference on Undergraduate Research out of a pool of over 4,000 papers. In Marisa's study, "Social Functioning of Vocal Duetting in the Rufous wren", birds were recorded before, during, and after playbacks. The data suggest that Rufous wrens engage in duetting as a method of jointly defending territory. Marisa collaborated with SIT's local partner in Ecuador, Fundación Jocotoco—which works with conservation projects—the Academy of Sciences of Philadelphia and in particular with Dr. Robert Ridgely; and the Cornell Ornithology Lab, which is one of the most important ornithology labs in the world and where Marisa continues her research. |

Well, the stand location and water access seem like a sound plan / location.
The deer are still pounding the beans in my area. Not sure why you are not seeing deer. May be time to move your stand just a bit.
Regarding calls, I've tried very light rattling and calling lately to deer I've spotted. All I've accomplished is to scare them away. Not exactly sure why. Maybe I need a decoy to complete the deception.

"The Passport for Life tool will bring a unique and innovative online approach to teaching our children about physical literacy," said Minister of State Gosal. "Thanks to PHE Canada, our young generation will have more tools to learn about basic sport and movement skills, so they can be motivated and equipped to lead active, healthy lives. We encourage teachers from across Canada to try out this great new online resource!"
"Every journey begins with a recognition of where you are and where you want to go. The power of Passport for Life is that it gives students, parents, and teachers a roadmap to understanding their development of physical literacy skills," said Chris Jones, Executive Director and CEO of PHE Canada. "With this map in hand, children can continue a path toward being active, happy, and healthy throughout their lives."
Passport for Life is an online tool that supports the assessment, development and advancement of physical literacy among students and teachers. It is also intended to increase knowledge, awareness, and understanding of physical literacy.
Physical and Health Education Canada is this country's premier professional organization for physical and health educators. It supports schools in becoming "Health Promoting Schools" that include the provision of quality daily physical education and foster healthy school communities. PHE Canada assists schools through a range of programs, resources, and initiatives.
The Government of Canada has provided funding of $152,700 in 2013-2014 to PHE Canada through Sport Canada's Sport Support Program. This program aims to develop athletes and coaches at the highest international levels, provide sound technically based sport programming for all athletes, increase the number of Canadians from all segments of society involved in sport, and advance our country's interests and values here and abroad.

Comments about Blinds Steve's Exclusive Collection Faux Wood Shutters Grand View Poly Grand View Poly:
I love how the shutters enhanced the decor of my home. They looked even better than I expected. My friends did not believe they were not real wood as they look so good. They were easy to install and I got them very fast. I have a view and these came with a hidden tilt rod. I especially appreciate that they were made in America.
Thank you Steve's Blinds

I am very pleased with these shutters. They fit perfectly and were easy to install. I did a lot of research and especially like that they are paint and formaldehyde free. Safety for my family is a priority for me.
Fantastic Value!
By Kihei Chris
from Maui, Hawaii
I love these shutters. They installed easily, look really great from both inside and out side the home. Fantastic value and the best price ANYWHERE.The only 2 changes I would suggest are, 1=include the #8 sync bit for side frame additional screws, and 2=add latches to keep them closed as the magnets alone did not hold them and any breeze will push them open. I bought and installed white latches to keep them in the closed position when the windows are open and shutter slats are slightly opened. That made these Shutters perfect, and that minor addition would earn them 5 stars. Thank you for a great enhancement for our island home.
Great Shutters - Easy to Install
By Bel Air Car Guy
from Bel Air, Maryland
Could not have been easier to order and install. I have new Pella windows, so they are true and square. Even if you had old windows with a house that settled and the windows were slightly out of line, the process of installing was easy, and would compensate for out of alignment windows. They are beautiful, and also the shutters I ordered had "split" shutters, so you could open or close only 1/2 of the height of the shutter. This is quite nice, and different from other plantation shutters we have on windows in our home (20 years old). I will certainly order these again, when we need more.
Great product, would recommend.

The original order was not correct. After talking with the help desk, eventually the problem was corrected and the shutter was remade again. It did prolong the process of getting the shutter delivered.
Love our shutters
By Paula
from Lawndale, CA
My only suggestion would be in the delivery. We were told we would receive an email for a delivery date and we did not. A note was left at our house stating they had tried to deliver but we were not home. We were not notified that they were coming. They brought them out the next day.
Love it.

By Donadonat
from South carolina
I ordered shutters. After waiting for some kind of update I finally called to see what was up. My original order was on 4/9/13. The rep told me there was a problem with the sizing, why didn't they call me? Anyway after 2 weeks we got that straight. Received the shutters which were very nice with the exception of them being two completly different sizes. Called again, now it is 5/26/13 and still have not received any info on them correcting my order. I have also ordered wood binds in which I received in March, there was no problem and the quality is great.
they are well made and easy to clean.

Adapted by Mary Zimmerman, directed by Allison Bergman Thursday April 12-Sunday April 15, Wednesday April 18-Sunday April 22, Titmus Theatre Evening shows at 7:30 pm, Sunday matinee at 2 pm First written down somewhere around Syria and Egypt in the tenth century, The Arabian Nights have been translated and adapted numerous times over the last millennium. Scheherezade's predicament frames the storytelling that begins when The King walks in on his wife passionately embracing another man. To be certain he will never be betrayed again, the King marries a new woman every night and kills her the next morning. When it is Scheherezade's turn, she devises a clever plan to save herself and the other girls. Each night, she tells the King a story, a series of magical tales, stopping at the critical moment of the story. The King must wait to learn the resolution, thus sparing the gifted storyteller to weave the tales another day. But she must keep the king interested, or she will forfeit her life. Always on the edge of danger, Scheherezade unfolds her stories, each more wondrous than the last, with action and adventure, humor, and sometimes even a touch of naughty. Some adult themes.

Pakistan on the Brink
The Future of America, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
Ahmed Rashid - Author
An urgent, on-the-ground report from Pakistan—from the bestselling author of Descent Into Chaos and Taliban Ahmed Rashid, one of the world's leading experts on the social and political situations in Pakistan and Afghanistan, offers a highly anticipated update on the possibilities—and hazards—facing the United States after the death of Osama bin Laden and as Operation Enduring Freedom winds down. With the characteristic professionalism that has made him the preeminent independent journalist in Pakistan for three decades, Rashid asks the important questions and delivers informed insights about the future of U.S. relations with the troubled region. His most urgent book to date, Pakistan on the Brink is the third volume in a comprehensive series that is a call to action to our nation's leaders and an exposition of this conflict's impact on the security of the world. IN JANUARY 2009, when Barack Obama was inaugurated as the first black president of the United States, hopes of Americans and Europeans were high that he would make a greater U.S. commitment to Afghanistan in terms of money, troops, economic development, and state building — and above all, to finding a political solution to end the war. Obama's promise to do all of that, and his expressed desire for a regional solution that would bring Afghanistan's neighbors together in order to help the peace process, were even more welcome. Obama did commit more of everything to Afghanistan, and many fields (such as education, health, media, the building of a new Afghan Army, and the degrading of Al Qaeda) have seen substantial improvements. However, the country has also seen a steady deterioration at almost every level — military, political, economic, and human. Violence has increased substantially, and the Taliban insurgency is now a nationwide movement. Tragically, as the endgame approaches, the administration still lacks a political strategy: the U.S. military and intelligence are in the driver's seat. The United States and NATO now plan to leave by 2014. The administration makes statements about Western forces transitioning and about handing over authority to the Afghan government and army, but it offers no clarity about how that can be accomplished in the midst of a civil war. The escalation of the war has helped prolong and deepen an already-long-running crisis in Pakistan. Its political and military leadership has shown neither the courage nor the will nor the intelligence to carry out major reforms in the country's foreign and economic policies. The Pakistani state still fosters many extremist jihadi fighters belonging to various groups, even as the Pakistani Taliban directly threatens that very state. The military has allowed the Afghan Taliban factions and their leaders safe sanctuary and support ever since 2001 — something the Americans knew well but failed to raise effectively. Social services are near collapse, law enforcement is abysmal, economic hardship is widespread, natural disasters occur with little or no government assistance, and the majority of the population has no security. Undeniably, the military and political situation in both Afghanistan and Pakistan has deteriorated considerably during Obama's tenure in office. Moreover, for two years, the critical U.S.-Pakistan relationship has been in a steady process of breakdown or deterioration. Obama and his senior officials share a major part of the blame because their failure to act as a team has resulted in contradictory policies, intense political infighting, and uncertainty about U.S. aims and objectives in the region. Regional players have been allowed to manipulate these very contradictions. The legacies of the cold war and the war on terror are still with us. Against the backdrop of an American and European recession, we are still trying to wipe clean those historical legacies so that we can get on with improving our world. China and India are making huge economic advances, the Muslim world has seen the upswing known as the Arab Spring, struggles for democracy are occurring in countries that have hitherto known nothing but dictatorship, and women worldwide have made enormous strides. Sadly, such progress made has not been duplicated in South and Central Asia. This vital part of the world, the birthplace of Al Qaeda, remains beset by extremist groups and nuclear weapons. Yet Afghanistan and Pakistan have a greater impact on the world's stability than any other place on earth. We ignore efforts to forge peace and stability there at our peril. This is my third book on the wars in Afghanistan, and on political developments in Pakistan and Central Asia, framed by the U.S. administrations that have tried to tackle these issues. For three decades, I have traveled, reported, written, and spoken about the wars and political events I have witnessed. During those 30 years, I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to help politicians and diplomats find a solution to Afghanistan. I have spent much of my adult life writing this trilogy. The first book, Taliban, covers the Afghanistan of the 1980s and 1990s and the rise of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, seen through the eyes of one of the few reporters on the ground there. It is very much a reporter's notebook. My second book, Descent into Chaos1>, is an attempt at a comprehensive history of the first eight years after September 11, 2001, during which the United States went to war in Afghanistan, and Pakistan became a reluctant partner. It covers the presidency of George Bush and looks at events from the different perspectives of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. This third book, Pakistan on the Brink, is neither a reporter's notebook, a historical epic, nor a comprehensive history. It describes selected events during the first term of the Obama presidency; the focus is on the current crisis and on the solutions that are needed to ensure a future peace. It resembles a book of essays, each dealing with a different aspect of the same problem, discussing the processes that have led to the present impasse. As such, it can be opened anywhere, and any chapter can be read separately from the rest. All parties to the conflict in Afghanistan and to the deterioration in Pakistan have made terrible mistakes. Almost all the major players have shown arrogance, hubris, rigidity, and stubbornness; all have, to some degree, lived in the past and been unable to change their thinking. As an observer of these events, however, I have also found this period to be a time of exhilaration and hope. No one who has covered the never-ending Afghanistan wars, as I have, can expect to be an optimist, but I am constantly looking for that open window and hoping it will stay open long enough for peace to emerge. I hope younger readers will one day read my trilogy as a single document that covers a terrible period of mankind's history, from which crucial lessons were learned that made it impossible to repeat such death and destruction. Even though the same miseries have been inflicted on the same people, only in different eras under different masters, I believe fervently that we do learn from our mistakes, and that is where hope lies.

FIGHT BOREDOM ZINE RESIDENCY / Deadline to apply is April 5th, 2013.
About The Residency: The Fight Boredom Zine Residency was inspired by and modelled after the zine residency that takes place at the Roberts Street Social Centre / Anchor Archive in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Funding is graciously provided by the Union For Gender Empowerment. After years of traveling to various cities for zinefests and the like, I want to invite far-away zinesters to explore and create in my home base of Montréal, Québec.
2012 Residents: Brianna Dearest / Khristina Acosta
2013 Residents: Bee / Audrey / Jami Sailor (links to come)
How It Works: For two weeks, you will find yourself living at the Tulip Farm in beautiful Montréal, Québec. This is not a farm, but in fact an adorable two-bedroom apartment in the heart of St-Henri. You will be provided with a pullout couch, bedding, fun times, and a whole lotta zine supplies (I have basic craft supplies like paper, scissors and glue, as well as numerous typewriters). You're encouraged to bring anything you feel you may need. Although we may be able to provide you with a small stipend for travel costs, you will be responsible for things like meals and public transportation – but don't worry, we like to share food and we can find you an extra bike.
You'll be staying with Amber Dearest, author of The Triumph Of Our Tired Eyes and Culture Slut, and proprietor of Fight Boredom Distro – a pink-haired weirdo who loves root beer, karaoke, and Anaïs Nin – and Stefanie Canadia, a longtime zinester, activist, and artist, who loves animals and is punk as fuck. This is a cat-friendly, vegetarian, alcohol-free and smoke-free household.
During these two weeks, you'll be working on your project with the goal of finishing it on time for a launch party. But, we want you to get out and have fun, too! We'll show you around the neighbourhood and do what we can to help you feel comfortable, plus you'll have access to the Ste-Émilie Skillshare, which is only a five-minute walk away from the Tulip Farm and includes a screenprinting studio, a black-and-white darkroom, sewing machines, craft supplies and a workshop / gallery space. Other nearby goodies include grocery stores, a post office, parks, the Lachine Canal, the Atwater Market, and all kinda of secret spots for you to find.
Important Notes: The Tulip Farm and the Ste-Émilie Skillshare are both located in second-floor apartments and are, regrettably, not wheelchair accessible. There is a friendly cat named Sebastian who lives at the Tulip Farm, so you will ideally not have allergies. There are nearby train tracks, and while we love the sound (and imagined adventures!) of trains passing by, you may not. The Tulip Farm is only a two-minute walk from the metro, which means the rest of the city is basically at your fingertips. Please read the Ste-Émilie Skillshare's mandate here and Fight Boredom Distro's submission guidelines here. When applying, please keep in mind that if you live outside of Canada, you're required to have a passport to enter the country. Feel free to send any questions our way.
How To Apply: Simply copy and paste the questions below, and send them, along with your responses, to amber.norrean @ gmail.com. I can't stress enough how important it is to fill out the application in full, with the questions in order – it makes it a lot easier for us to read it when it comes time to choose a resident, and to skim to specific questions when necessary. You can also apply by snail mail – and we'd love to see any zines you've created in the past!
In a few sentences, please tell us about the project you'd like to work on during your stay.
Can you give us a brief timeline of your project? What would you like to accomplish during your stay? What is the goal of your project? How do you imagine the finished project? Feel free to include as many details as you'd like.
In the end, we'd like for you to host a launch party for your project, and / or a skillshare / workshop. Please tell us about some ideas and themes you might have for the final event.
Tell us about projects that you've worked on in the past. This can include zines, crafts, volunteer efforts, activist organizing, et cetera. Feel free to include your bio here.
