This Is The Second Death
Around the Summer of 2004, melodic metalcore was just about at it's peak of popularity and critical acceptance. The more established acts in the genre (Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, Unearth, Lamb of God, God Forbid) were all releasing important second or third albums, and subtly (others not so subtly) pushing for mainstream acceptance. While these bands set out on headlining tours and capitalized on metal's reintroduction into popular culture, Harlots debut album, the awkwardly titled The Women You Saw is the Great City that Rules Over the Kings of Earth, slipped under everybody's radar. It was an abrasive and oddly epic approach to metalcore that chopped up, inverted, and simply fucked with melodic thrash and infused it with ethereal interludes and grinding intensity. To me, at least, it seemed like a harbinger of the kind of styles that would capture the hearts and minds of melodic metalcore fans once that scene's bubble burst. It's two Summers later and, expectedly, the New Wave of American Heavy Metal's critical stock is at an all time low. Now, Harlots have released the kind of album that should put them at the forefront of the more substantial, and artistically appealing style that will replace it.
This is the Second Death picks up right where the The Women You Saw ... left of. In fact, the two are so thematically and structurally similar that play almost as companion discs. Here, however, Harlots seem to focus slightly more on their caustic attempts at melodic thrash. The most immediate frame of reference I can offer is a darker, more acerbic version of Horse The Band. While this may throw some readers who are familiar with that Nintendo obsessed outfit, I encourage you to imagine a band playing a similarly riff heavy brand of metal that sets the humor aside and turns its focus on taking the riffing style of At the Gates or Gardenian, and making it sound absolutely sickened. "Asceticism" for example, sounds like the kind of track that would result if Mastodon or American Heritage were forced to collaborate with As I Lay Dying, or some such band. It's just bizarre enough to keep my attention, and still has a strong enough sense of trash to draw in listeners who are generally leery of experimental or dissonant music. "These are the Paths We Now Choose," and "These are the Paths We Now Create," flex the bands lingering spazz-core influence, and also feature some of the washed out, distant clean vocals that helped deepen and diversify the atmosphere of The Women You Saw...
Spacey, instrumental tracks serve as bookends to the more jarring songs on This is the Second Death, and account for some of the albums less thrilling moments. While "Those Days seemed a Hundred Years Ago," features an excellent, encompassing build up and glass shattering crescendo, "Moment of Sickness" plays like and overlong and tiresome distraction from the rest of the album.
Ultimately, this is a very satisfying album. While not terribly innovative, Harlots have both a keen sense of both thrash riffing and dissonant urgency that isn't heard very often. The scope of this album isn't as encompassing as they may have tried to make it with the instrumental songs, but they're still worth an initial listen. Also, you're never more than a press of your CD player's skip button away from another jarring and complex song. This is a Second Death is a compelling stew of styles that gently challenges some boundaries while keeping it's feet firmly planted in traditional heavy metal riff writing.

quattro 4dr 3.0T Premium Plus
Starting at $46,250 | Starting at 16 MPG City - 22 MPG Highway
The Q7 packs a lot of safety and luxury features into a large SUV. It's longer than almost any other luxury SUV, with lots of room for seven passengers in comfy leather seats. The NHTSA bestowed a 5-star crash-test rating on the Q7, and the IIHS granted it 'Top Safety Pick' status. Opting for the TDI clean diesel engine adds extra value in the form of fuel economy, with 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.
The Audi Q7 returns for 2012 essentially identical to the outgoing model.
For 2012, Audi has kept last year's power options with a 3.0L supercharged V6 available in two tuning levels and an optional 3.0L TDI diesel V6. The supercharged engine that comes in the Premium trim makes 272 hp and 295 lb-feet of torque. A higher performance version of the same engine that comes in the S Line makes 333 hp and 325 lb-feet of torque. The optional turbo diesel produces 225 hp and 406 lb-feet of torque. All Q7 models benefit from Audi's new 8-speed Tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive.

Beautiful and perfect fit!
I purchased the top and bottom of this suit, I went to Hawaii for 14 days, washed it in washer on delicate, hung dry overnight at least 7 times. It still looks brand new and the size hasn't changed a bit. This is a very high quality suit.

Very comfortable and can be mixed with other Tommy Bahama swim bottom prints. I have several two piece suits and love them all. The quality is outstanding!

awesome bikini top!
This is actually the second & third bikini top in this style I have ordered....first one I wore out! Now I have had two black tops and a new leopard print one. It is so flattering. I have a full figure (38 C top and a size 10 on bottom) and this top is perfect for me! Love it....don't even think about discontinuing it!

Great bikini top!
I usually wear a halter style top, and was happy to find this style in an underwire on TB. I bought this in black and plan to buy another, it looks great with the skirted bottoms or the sash high-waist bottoms, especially on a mature woman. I can always count on TB to make me look stylish yet comfortable!

Perfect Top
I love these tops. They're comfy, supportive and flattering! I normally wear a 34D bra, but ended up exchanging for a 34C in this top, it was gapping a bit at the top. I definitely recommend.
March 23, 2013
Finally a top that fits!
This top is well worth the money. I have purchased numerous tops from other srores in the past, and they were often too skimpy or unflattering in some other way. This top provides great coverage, while maintaining style. Great quality as well! Now I know where to buy my bathing suits!
March 15, 2013
True to size - great support!
So glad to find a top that is supportive enough to make me feel comfortable. I wore this while in Central America and I felt covered enough, but still felt that it was flattering!
As a 34D, it's difficult to find a top that isn't frumpy that holds everything in place like a bra, but this one is a winner! I wish it came in more colors/patterns!

"Excellent location! Just a few maintenance issues"
Stayed here after just randomly deciding that I needed a mini getaway from school and work. I'm a college grad student on a budget and saw this as the perfect place being centrally located to all the Miami nightlife as well as within minutes walking distance from the beach. That being said, anyone whos been to miami beach before knows that a hotel at […] that price or heck under about 250 a night is not going to be perfect. I realized after I booked the room that it was a suit and it was actually pretty roomy and clean. Check in/out process was efficient. Only problem was the door to my room. Apparently the screws stuck out a bit and I was sort "locked" while getting ice (which is upstairs on the rooftop outside). Maintenance guy did eventually come an fix it with a little hesitation at first (as his tv show may have been a little more important than my being stuck outside in a just a pair shorts and a tank top waiting to get back in the room to all my of personal belongings). It was finally fixed after making about 3 trips to the check in counter and a call to the manager off site. Other than that little setback it wasn't that bad at all and I still had time to enjoy myself that night. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"A Typical South Beach Property"
South Beach is popular and expensive, so I expected to pay inflated room rates and not get what I paid for. This was the case here, but it's not to say that this is a bad property. It is equivalent in quality to your standard Days Inn room. Our ACs (had a two bedroom room, so two separate ACs) hardly did the job and windows didn't open, so the rooms […] got hot. We stayed in February, so not a big issue, but I feel summer could be torture. The location is great - a couple blocks from the beach, so you don't the noise of Ocean, but you get the proximity to it. The sun deck is only good to use up to noon, and then it is shadowed. The staff is very friendly and helpful, just don't expect the Ritz when you walk in. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Much left to be desired"
The hotel left much to be desired. Although it was in a relatively convenient location, it did not justify the price. The room's walls and windows were extremely thin which made it impossible to sleep. There was little water pressure and equally not existent hot water.

"Wished I never heard of this hotel"
There is nothing royal about this hotel other than being a royal pain to stay at. The room we stayed in overlooked Washington Avenue which is quite busy with all the restaurants, shops, and nightlife which is fine but not so great when you're looking to get a night's rest. Allow us to explain further as follows. 1. The room only had a single light […] and the bulb was very dim. We could not see anything in the room. Called the front desk to have a brighter bulb put in but was told their maintenance will take care of it in the morning!?!? 2. The window facing the Washington Avenue was not sealed correctly so all of the street noise can be heard in the hotel room. My wife and I could not sleep all night because of all the cars, motorcyles, people yelling, and the occasional police sirens. Needless to say, we were not the only visitors that had the same problem because I spoke with another guest at the hotel the next day and they had the same problem with the noise. When we called the front desk to ask for another room, the receptionist simply said "the hotel is over 80 years old so there's nothing we can do about it." 3. The shower head had very low water pressure so the water coming out was dribbling at best. Needless to say, it literally took me over 40 minutes to shower.

"A good 'base' to stay."
Walk 3-5 minutes and you are in the thick of South Beach. The hotel staff were excellent. My wife and I arrived at around 12 noon and the guy on the front desk found us a room to check in to with o early check in charge, which was unexpected for Miami. Whilst the Hotel has a valet parking service the guy on front desk was happy to direct me to a self […] park option which was $20 as opposed to the $27 for valet, however we did end up opting for the valet for convenience (although wish wished we hadn't afterwards). If you use the valet parking be sure to remove everything from your car, even petty loose change! I left approximately $4 in quarters in my centre storage compartment and when I got the car back there was only 3 quarters left. Petty I know but stealing is stealing! There is a nightclub near the hotel and muffled faint music can be heard until 2am. We were on the second floor in room 209. Other than that we did not experience any other noise. The hotel was a great comfortable stay for a low cost somewhere to crash close to the action. I would not say that this hotel is somewhere where you would want to spend a day hanging out due to the lack of facilities.

My first impression was Mel, who worked the front desk when I called to confirm my check-in time. She could not have been any more pleasant and accommodating and put me in a great room. I liked that this was a small boutique hotel without all the bells and whistles, which made for a nice and simple visit at a great price. The location was excellent, […] as it was a five-minute walk to the beach. Unless I stay with friends who live on the beach, I will most likely be coming back to this hotel.

"confused initally, but would go back :)"
The hotel we booked 'on the fly' (in the taxi, leaving from the port of Miami after our cruise had docked, last second quick search from my Expedia.com iPhone app.) We were thrilled to find an affordable priced hotel in South Beach, that was only 2 blocks away from the beach! :) When we arrived, it was a bit of a shock to see what we were in for. The […] hotel decor of the 'reception area' looked old, run down, and like it was made out of the back of someones home... the elevator was a bit frighting to ride...lol, and the room itself... well, it was as if we walked into another era, with 70's white plastic decor. The hotel itself in its entirety looked absolutely nothing like the photos on the website(s). It was very misleading, which is why we were very disappointed. - The stay was only for one night, so it wasnt terrible. In the hotel's defense.. we didn't do much research on the place as far as past reviews go. (since we booked it so suddenly). It's just that we were expecting something a bit different. - Overall, the staff was accommodating, kind, and to be honest i would stay there again. just get new pictures up so people aren't shocked and annoyed! <3 Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The staff was friendly and there is a Subway in the building. The parking is in a garage one block away that is convenient although expensive, in my opinion.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"The place for me on South Beach!"
I like the smiling service that greets you when you enter the lobby. The cool lemon water that is available when you enter. The location is excellent. 2 blocks from the beach on Ocean Drive plus less than one block away is the local 25 cent bus at 8th and Washington that takes you to Lincoln Road and all around South Beach. The room was white and clean. […] There is a fridge, microwave, and a safe that can hold a laptop. The hotel is quiet and in a good area. On 9th street and Washington, there is a 7-11, and there are so many great eating places on Washington of all price ranges from Japanese, to Latin, to Italian to vegetarian salads. This hotel was wonderful for my nine-day stay, very convenient, clean and comfortable. I will certainly return. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"ART DECO- OLD South Beach"
Pictures on web had better lighting then the real thing. Rooms were clean but definitely older. Jacuzzi looked more like a bath tub- very small. Free computer internet in the lobby was helpful but would have preferred wifi in room. Good restaurant suggestions at desk. Soap in the bathroom would have been nice. Good deal for the area.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Royal South Becah Hotel"
Very central and quite convenient for anyone spending a lot of time on the beach (2 blocks away) & looking forward to a hectic night life. Noise levels at night are rather too high - all the hotel rooms are on the 1st level above 2 bars that belch loud music throught the night till wee hours.

My boyfriend and i stayed here in june and it was a pretty ok experience.

We stayed here one night before we left for our cruise, it was okay. You can't beat the location, it was perfect, especially for the price!! It wasn't a 5 star hotel or anything, don't expect that, but it works for a night. The water pressure wasn't to great and the $5 continental breakfast was pitiful. Other than that, it wasn't to bad for just one […] night. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

"Kelly" Johnson was a national treasure... a great
American. We as a nation profited handsomely from his talents! Ingenuity let loose in a can-do society produced a fantastic aircraft. We see this also in Burt Rutan and Elon Musk..may America always be a CAN DO nation.

Was at that undisclosed location 10+ years ago, before the U2(s) got the glass cockpit. First clue the planes were in house was when a Camaro with USAF drove by me on the way to the mess area the second day I was on sight. Great set of stories.

The U-2 with the camo pattern on the top is amusing -- who is going to be looking DOWN on a U-2 at 70,000 feet?

What about when they are on the ground?

If you are wondering who that pilot in the old school pressure suit above is, he is James A.(Jim) Barnes Jr. As far as I know the man who flew the most hours in the U-2.
Posted by mike mayfield on April 9,2012 | 11:33 PM
Ref the gray camo, it was put on the aircraft because of concerns within the US that the Brits might be concerned about the black "spy plane" image. In fact, when we got to RAF Wethersfield the Brits were almost universally disappointed that they were not the classic black. For them, it sort of removed the "romance" of the spy plane legacy. As to the effectiveness of the camo, it was a test deployment, and I don't think anybody even considered the effectiveness issue.
Posted by Ken Stanford on April 19,2012 | 02:44 PM
The U2 articles in Air & Space and the additional pics online were really eye openers on the aircraft and the men who fly them. Also the people who have kept them flying are to be commended.

Naturally, it is an all-hands-on-deck scenario, an ego-free opportunity to offer one's self to food preparation, serving, cleaning, and dishwashing.

SkillsActive is proud to launch the pilot of the Register of Playwork Professionals.
The Register of Playwork Professionals has been developed by SkillsActive in partnership with employers, playworkers and representatives from key national organisations involved in the development, delivery and support for children's play. The Register will ensure that standards within the Playwork industry are kept to a high level through annual Continued Professional Development (CPD) for all members. The Register is being piloted in England initially, with plans to roll out across the UK in October.
Successful applicants during the pilot will be given membership for one year free of charge and, in addition, the first 100 members to sign up to the Register of Playwork Professionals will also receive one year's free subscription to the forthcoming Journal of Playwork Practice.
"Having worked in children's services for over 20 years, I am very pleased that the Register of Playwork Professionals has been established by SkillsActive. Playwork professionals can now be qualified at various levels up to and including Foundation Degree, Honours Degree and Postgraduate Qualification; this recognition helps the hard working individuals and also the workforce in our contribution to helping children live satisfying and enjoyable lives." Prof Perry Else, Course Leader BA (Hons) Children and Playwork,
Using the expertise gained from the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs), the Register of Playwork Professionals is looking to build on this success within the playwork industry.
Driving a high standard of professionalism in the sector, the establishment of the Register of Playwork Professionals will:
- Recognise the importance of the role playworkers perform in the provision of play opportunities
- Offer much needed re-assurance to parents or carers that staff working with their children (aged 4 - 16 years old) are appropriately qualified
- Provide a system of regulation to ensure that individuals meet agreed National Occupational Standards, which describe the knowledge, competence and skills of good practice.
The entry levels and categories for the Register of Playwork Professionals will be based on the job roles and related qualifications held by each individual. The framework provided by the Register will offer verification that those working in the sector are fully qualified.
To ensure that members of the Register of Playwork Professional maintain skills in line with industry standards, they will be required to complete annual Continued Professional Development (CPD), which will be tracked by the activepassport system.
"We're delighted to be launching the pilot of the Register of Playwork Professionals. It's important that the playwork sector is recognised for the very valuable contributions playworkers make to the lives of our children. I believe the establishment of the Register will really put playwork on the map and raise the profile of playwork within the children's workforce. The Register will also ensure high quality throughout the industry and drive professionalisation throughout the playwork sector"
For further information about the Register of Playwork Professionals, please visit our website www.playworkregister.org
The Register of Playwork Professionals is proud to be supporting Create Training First Wessex, who in partnership with Portsmouth City Council Play Service and YMCA Portsmouth would like to invite you to attend:
The Portsmouth Playwork Conference - 'Risky Play and the importance of stimulation and challenge within the play environment'
Where: Landport Adventure Playground, Arundel Street, Portsmouth, PO1 1PH
When: Wednesday 12th June 2013, 9.30 – 2.30pm
There will be a small fee for this conference: £10 per person. However if you have qualified with Create Training in the past 12 months or are working towards your qualification with them then you will receive a 50% discount.
During the conference Stuart Lester, Senior Lecturer in Play and Playwork, from the University of Gloucestershire will enable playworkers to reflect upon how they support and facilitate the play process, by providing stimulating play spaces and resources, whilst challenging assumptions, barriers and blocks to risky play.
Playworkers will then have an opportunity to 'play' by participating in a variety of workshops that will challenge and stimulate their imagination and practice to incorporate and embed risky play within their play environments and play spaces.
Create Training provides training in a supportive community learning environment for people who may have had negative experiences of formal education; or have been out of any education or training for many years and lack confidence in their skills and abilities.
Create Training are part of First Wessex, a Hampshire based housing association, who provide homes and services to local communities throughout Hampshire and parts of Surrey.

The General Comment notes that, "environments in which play and recreational opportunities are available to all children provide the conditions for creativity; opportunities to exercise competence through self-initiated play enhance motivation, physical activity and skill development". The General Comment therefore recognises that play is essential to the health and well-being of children.
It goes on to state that these "benefits are diminished, particularly in developing creativity, leadership and team spirit if control by adults is so pervasive that it undermines children's own efforts to organise and conduct their play activities".
Of particular relevance is the statement that "Article 31 rights are being denied for children in many parts of the world as a consequence of an emphasis on formal academic success", with the UN Committee highlighting that "early childhood education is increasingly focused on academic targets and formal learning at the expense of participation in play and attainment of broader development outcomes."
Lesli Godfrey, UK Strategic Lead for Playwork and the Children's Workforce at SkillsActive says:
"This is something for the government to consider, coming at a time when they are proposing a new 'early years educator' role for people working with under 6s, and particularly in the face of recent Department of Education research which found that educational input for 2 year olds has no significant impact on their outcomes at 5 years old. Playworkers are the most appropriately qualified staff to ensure that children up to 16 years old gain access to their Article 31 right to play freely, without adult direction and control.
"I'd also like to highlight the role which The International Play Association in the publication of The General Comment as they were instrumental in its development."
The General Comment obliges signatories to adopt a wide range of measures to ensure Article 31 rights are fulfilled both at national and local levels. It strongly encourages the adoption of legislation to address the principle of sufficiency of provision, the development of a dedicated policy to address these rights and a national plan of action for their implementation.

Bydd cyllid Chwaraeon Cymru yn mynd tuag at nifer o fentrau y mae SkillsActive Cymru eisoes wedi dechrau eu gweithredu. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys:
• Cynhyrchu Adroddiad Blynyddol ar Gyflwr y Diwydiant ar gyfer Cymru, a fydd yn trafod bylchau a phrinderau penodol i'r sector
• Datblygu Un Fframwaith Cymwysterau wedi ei lunio a'i gytuno gyda phrif randdeiliaid yng Nghymru
• Cynnydd yn nifer aelodau REP Cymru (Cofrestr y gweithwyr ymarfer proffesiynol) o 1000 i 1100, a chynnydd o 10% yn nifer y cyflogwyr yng Nghymru sy'n cofrestru gydag REP a chynnydd o 5% yn nifer yr hyfforddwyr sydd â chymhwyster lefel 3.
• Hyrwyddo pwysigrwydd Pasbortau 'Active' ar draws y sector.
Dyma'r sylw a gafwyd gan Richard Todd, Rheolwr SkillsActive, ynglŷn â buddsoddiad Chwaraeon Cymru:
"Mae SkillsActive Cymru wedi cynnal perthynas weithio iach gyda Chwaraeon Cymru ers oddeutu 10 mlynedd. Bydd y gweithgareddau y cytunwyd iddynt fod yn rhan o'r rhaglen hon yn dylanwadu'n llesol iawn ar Weledigaeth Chwaraeon Cymru ar gyfer Chwaraeon ac yn enwedig hefyd yr 'elfen o weithlu medrus a llawn angerdd', ac ar y cyd-destun strategol sydd wedi ei amlinellu yn nogfen Llywodraeth Cymru 'Creu Cymru Egnïol."
Bydd Cynllun Peilot Cronfa Blaenoriaethau Sector Llywodraeth Cymru y mae SkillsActive Cymru hefyd wedi llwyddo i'w sicrhau, yn gymorth anferthol gyda chyflenwi hyfforddiant gwaith chwarae ledled Cymru, trwy sicrhau bod sgiliau a hyfforddiant digonol gan y gweithlu a bod ganddynt yr adnoddau cywir.
Nod y prosiect yw datblygu a chwblhau defnyddiau dysgu ac addysgu dwyieithog ar gyfer y cymhwyster Lefel 3 a ddatblygwyd yn ddiweddar, sef 'Egwyddorion Gwaith Chwarae ar Waith' project aims to develop and finalise bilingual learning and teaching materials for the recently (P3).
Bydd y cyllid yn fodd i SkillsActive Cymru arwain y gwaith o ddatblygu cyfres gyflawn o adnoddau ar gyfer y Dyfarniad, y Dystysgrif a'r Diploma a fydd yn hyrwyddo dysgu o'r radd flaenaf. Bydd hyfforddwyr sy'n darparu cymwysterau Gwaith Chwarae Lefel 2 ar hyn o bryd yn cael eu huwchsgilio hefyd, a fydd yn fodd iddynt fwrw ymlaen â darparu lefel 3 ar raddfa eang ledled Cymru.
Dyma'r sylw a gafwyd ynglŷn â chyllid ar gyfer gwaith chwarae gan Debbie Willett, Rheolwr Technegol SkillsActive, Gwledydd Prydain:
"Mae Mesur Plant a Theuluoedd (Cymru) yn gosod dyletswydd ar bob awdurdod lleol i ddarparu digon o gyfleoedd i chwarae ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc a bydd yn creu mwy o alw am gymwysterau yn y sector gwaith chwarae. Felly, bydd y prosiect hwn yn dylanwadu'n gadarnhaol ar y datblygiad strategol hwn a bydd yn gyfraniad sylweddol at fynd i'r afael â'r prinderau sgiliau sy'n bodoli ledled Cymru."
Mae darparu cymwysterau gwaith chwarae yn dal i fod yn ei ddyddiau cynnar yng Nghymru, felly bydd cynhyrchu'r adnoddau hyn yn dylanwadu'n llesol iawn ar ddatblygiad y seilwaith gwaith chwarae. Yn y pen draw, bydd dysgwyr yn elwa ar y datblygiadau hyn a byddant yn gallu datblygu ymhellach ar eu sgiliau gwaith chwarae.
Bydd y buddsoddiadau yn dod ag amrywiaeth gyflawn o fanteision i'r sectorau chwaraeon, ffitrwydd a gwaith chwarae yng Nghymru, rhai y bydd y gweithlu a'r cyhoedd yn ogystal yn elwa arnynt.
SkillsActive Wales has agreed a mutual programme of work with Sport Wales which will enable the delivery of an extensive programme over the coming year. SkillsActive Wales is also happy to have secured funding from the Welsh Government Sector Priorities Fund Pilot (SPFP) to develop innovative learning and teaching materials for the level 3 Playwork Principles into Practice (P3) qualification.
The investment from Sport Wales will have a positive impact on the delivery of the SkillsActive Wales Business Plan 2012-13 and will ensure the full involvement of Welsh employers across the Active Leisure, Learning and Well-being sector.
The Sport Wales funding will go towards a number of initiatives which SkillsActive Wales has already begun to implement. These include:
• The production of an Annual State of the Industry Report for Wales, exploring sector specific gaps and shortages
• The development of a Single Qualification Framework, produced and agreed with key stakeholders in Wales
• An increase in REPs Wales members from 1000 to 1100, plus a 10% increase in the number of Welsh employers registering with REPs and a 5% increase in the number of instructors holding a level 3 qualification
• Promoting the importance of Active Passports across the sector.
In relation to the Sport Wales investment, SkillsActive Manager Richard Tobutt commented:
"SkillsActive Wales has maintained a healthy working relationship with Sport Wales for around 10 years. The activities agreed as part of this programme will positively impact on both the Sport Wales Vision for Sport, and particularly the 'skilled and passionate workforce strand', and the strategic context outlined in the Welsh Government 'Creating an Active Wales' document."
The Welsh Government Sector Priorities Fund Pilot also secured by SkillsActive Wales will massively assist playwork training delivery across Wales, by ensuring that the workforce is adequately skilled, trained and possesses the correct resources.
The project aims to develop and finalise bilingual learning and teaching materials for the recently developed Level 3 qualification entitled 'Playwork Principles into Practice' (P3).
The funding will allow SkillsActive Wales to lead the development of a full suite of resources for the Award, Certificate and Diploma which will promote high quality learning. Trainers currently delivering level 2 Playwork qualifications will also be upskilled, allowing them to progress the wide scale delivery of level 3 across Wales.
Concerning playwork funding, SkillsActive Technical Manager, Home Countries, Debbie Willets comments:
"The Children and Families (Wales) Measure places a duty on each local authority to provide sufficient play opportunities for children and young people and will increase the demand for qualifications within the playwork sector. Therefore, this project will have a positive impact on this strategic development and will go some of the way to address the skills shortages that exist across Wales."
Playwork qualification delivery is in its infancy in Wales, therefore the production of these resources will have a positive impact on the development of the playwork infrastructure. Ultimately, learners will benefit from these developments and will be able to further develop their playwork skills.
The investments will bring a whole range of benefits to the sport, fitness and playwork sectors in Wales, benefitting both the workforce and the general public.
A General Comment is an official statement that elaborates on the meaning of an aspect of the UNCRC that requires further interpretation or emphasis. The General Comment will define all elements of Article 31 and explain their importance in the growth and development of children and their impact on children's overall wellbeing.
Article 31 ensures that 'State Parties recognise the right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities ... and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts.'
The General Comment will provide guidance to the governments of the 192 countries (States Parties) that are signatories.
The General Comment aims to:
• Enhance understanding of the importance of Article 31 for children's well-being and development
• Provide interpretation to States Parties of the provisions, and consequent obligations, associated with Article 31
• Provide guidance on the legislative, judicial, administrative, social and educational measures necessary to ensure its implementation for all children without discrimination and on the basis of equality of opportunity
SkillsActive's UK Strategic Lead for Playwork and the Children's Workforce, Lesli Godfrey, said:
'SkillsActive welcomes the news that the United Nations has adopted the General Comment on Article 31 of the Convention on the Right's of the Child. Too often and for too long, governments have neglected to recognize that play is vitally important in helping children to reach their full potential in ways that education cannot. By providing play opportunities for children in their out of school hours we can, in time, see the resulting positive impact on the economy, the health of the nation and social cohesion. '
The award, established in honour of the former Head of Play at SkillsActive and a well-loved member of the playwork family, aims to recognise an individual who has made a significant contribution to the play and playwork sector. There are 4 other award categories: training provider, playwork writer, local development: sustaining front line playwork and playwork team.
If you'd like to make a nomination, the please follow this link to see the criteria and submit your form. The closing date for nominations is 31 January 2013. And while you're there, why not consider coming to the conference to see if your nominee wins an Award?
The conference is taking place on 5 and 6 March at the Winter Gardens, Eastbourne where there will be a wide variety of workshops, speakers, exhibitors and opportunities to network. SkillsActive will have a stand and be offering two workshops there, providing you with your chance to tell us what you need.

The strategy will set out the Scottish government's vision for play and will outline the action they are taking to achieve it. The key aim will be the embedding of play within children's services through the forthcoming Children and Young People's Bill.
The Scottish government will be consulting with key partners across the play sector to achieve this, with an aim of publishing their eventual strategy in 2013.
Aileen Campbell The Minister for Children and Young People commented saying that:
"I'm committed to supporting our children and families so they get the best start in life and go on to thrive and flourish."
"And a central part of getting it right in the early years is play. Although clearly (and rightly) centred on fun, play is also hugely important to a child's development and key to their physical, cognitive and social development."
The strategy will pull together and build on work previously undertaken within the play sector. It is hoped that through this the value of play will be recognised throughout society and national awareness regarding its benefits will be raised.
As far as we are aware, this is the first time that a government has made it a statutory duty to provide play opportunities for their younger citizens.
The Play Sufficiency Duty comes as part of the Welsh Governments anti-poverty agenda which recognises that children can have a poverty of experience, opportunity and aspiration, and that this kind of poverty can affect children from all social, cultural and economic backgrounds across Wales.
Congratulations to Play Wales staff who have worked closely with the Welsh Government to reach this goal.
The new Dragon Multi-Skills and Sport blueprint, for children at key stages 1 and 2 (primary school ages 5-11), will be used in schools, sports clubs and community settings such as leisure centres.
A similar scheme is already run in Canada, New Zealand and Australia where practitioners have found a good grounding in basic agility, balance and co-ordination skills leads to greater competency, and enjoyment, across all sports.
Chair of Sport Wales, Laura McAllister, said: "We want more children playing sport to a higher standard and more children having the skills to take part in sport and physical activity through their lives.
"It's important that children have the right skills as young as possible because it sets them on the path for better sporting experiences.
"At the moment we have pockets of excellent practice in developing the skills of children but we want to make that consistent across the board."

Taylor drains 6 treys, Lady Zebras clip Collinsville, 49-46
When it comes to shooting, the Claremore Lady Zebras would rather drain three pointers than free throws.
Claremore's Monica Taylor converted four of her six treys in the second half for a game-high 18 points as the Lady Zebras held off Collinsville, 49-46 in the season opener Tuesday night at the Claremore High School Gym. -
'Season-Opening Sweep'
As the buzzer sounded, the Claremore Zebras found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
For the first time in two years, the Zebras were on the winning side of the scoreboard and pumping each other's chests after their 43-29 season-opening victory over the Collinsville Cardinals. -
Berryhill sweeps Sequoyah in opener
The Berryhill Chiefs boys' basketball team spoiled the Claremore Sequoyah Eagles' season opener with a dominant 69-44 road win Tuesday night at Olan Graham field house.
The Chiefs rained down with 10 3-pointers against the Eagles (0-1, 0-0). -
Cards soar past Sperry
In a big Class 3A gun down, No. 3 Verdigris had more weapons than No. 6 Sperry.
In their home opener, the 2-0 Cardinals buried eight three-point shots and converted 21-of-23 free throws in rolling past the Pirates 69-54. -
Battenfield, Hanslovan spark No. 4 Lady Cards past Sperry
Fourth-ranked Verdigris shot nearly 50 percent and forced Sperry into 22 turnovers, finally pulling away for a 73-41 home opening victory Tuesday night in Class 3A girls basketball.
NBA CAPSULES: Spurs clip Hawks, 102-100
Tim Duncan made a jumper with 0.4 seconds left to lift the San Antonio Spurs to a 102-100 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.
Duncan finished with 23 points and 21 rebounds as San Antonio dominated the middle against the younger and more athletic Atlanta front court. Boris Diaw had 16 points and Tiago Splitter finished with 11. -
K-State likely headed to Holiday Bowl
Nobody was talking about bowl games at Kansas State in mid-October, when the Wildcats were sitting at 2-4 and feeling bruised and battered after a loss to Baylor.
Nobody was giving up on the season, either.
So with the kind of steadfast resolve that has become a hallmark under Bill Snyder, Kansas State flipped the script. The Wildcats ripped off four straight wins to become bowl eligible, and then finished off their regular-season with a 31-10 rout of Kansas on Saturday. -
Tense victory at TCU keeps No. 9 Baylor in race
Baylor coach Art Briles threw his hat and his headset in a rare display of emotion on the interception that ended TCU's upset bid in the final seconds.
The No. 9 Bears had persevered and recovered from a blowout loss to Oklahoma State that ended their hopes for a national title a week earlier. They also won for a coach whose older brother, Eddie, died from an apparent head injury after a fall just three days before the tense 41-38 victory on Saturday. -
Meyer won't suspend ejected Ohio State players
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer says the players ejected from the Michigan game for fighting will not be suspended for the Big Ten championship game.
Stunning matchup for SEC title: Tigers vs. Tigers
Talk about an SEC surprise.
Just a year ago, the Auburn Tigers won all of three games and fired their coach. Just a year ago, the Missouri Tigers looked very much like a school that had no business joining the mighty Southeastern Conference.
Well, look at the matchup for Saturday's championship game.

Stunning -
K.Page, NY - 05/03/2011
Doesn't necessarily look like the picture-- much more delicate looking in person. It's more than I could have ever hoped for- received it as an anniversary present and couldn't be more pleased! Can't wait to wear it for years!
Stunning -
Paula, Lexington,Ky - 12/04/2010
I love this beautiful ring and have gotten so many great comments it's unreal. One guy saw it in my window by the sink and said...can I have that to go buy a new car? amazing!
Good keep -
Bridget, Houston - 09/26/2010
Beautifully crafted. The center stone is big but not fake-looking, completed with brilliant cut that fires under the light! I like the antique look of this ring. Received a lot of complement on this one.
Sparkly & Stunning! -
QueenCheeky, Florida - 09/09/2010
The picture really doesn't do it justice. This ring sparkles like a sunburst and the setting is stunning from the sides. So delicate and yet so impressive all at once. It's hard to keep your eyes off it. The center stone captures the light so beautiful. I may never buy real diamonds again! Who needs it with gorgeous pieces like this one.
gorgeous -
kaT, Toronto - 10/26/2009
This ring is stunning. Whomever has the real one I hope they cherish what they got. Me, I would rather shop for other things than diamonds and come to Eve's when I do crave that clear shiny little bauble. I do love it and do wear it on occasion and get tremendous compliments. It just sparkles so ! Thanks again for the great EVERYTHING Eve's has to offer-love you guys.

Thanks for rating this design!
A wonderfully rough looking idea for a business card! I love the concept that for a cargo company the business card could fold into a cargo box, ready to ship a teaspoon of coffee around the world!
The simple use of logos gives the card a powerful sense of authenticity!
