According to #HMRC's report, "the '#Manufacturing', '#Professional, #Scientific and #Technical', and '#Information and #Communication' #sectors continued to have the greatest volume of #claims for tax credits from HMRC, making up a total of 71% of claims and 75% of the total amount claimed for 2016-17."
"Mark Tighe, CEO of Tax Relief Specialists for Catax, pointed out that the "Government is aware that Britain has a global reputation for innovation and so is actively trying to encourage firms of all sizes to invest in R&D."
Caroline Hunt, Director at National Audit, Tax, Advisory and Risk Firm for Crowe UK, said: "Given that the majority of those companies using R&D tax credits are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the uptake in the relief used could encourage many innovative businesses to grow and expand and reach their full potential."
For 2016-17, 39,960 R&D tax credit claims were made. 34,060 of these are in the SME R&D scheme, and yet there are still more claims to come as submissions remain open." (Accountancy Age, 2018)

Children lose things! It's one of those things and developmentally appropriate. At times of rapid growth, children have difficulty keeping up with themselves let alone anything they happen to be carrying around with them at the time!
Regularly losing clothing and other necessary items can become very expensive, so, in order to minimise the expense please label ALL items of uniform (and anything else they bring into school that you can attach a label to!) For our part we will endeavour to return any named items we find – but we can only do this if items are labelled.
Here are some links to sites that provide labels (we advise you to get a goodly number of them!)
Second-hand Uniform Stall
We all know how fast children grow! They often get so little wear out of their clothes before they need the next size up…
At Woodbridge Primary we have a small selection of good quality second-hand uniform available to parents in exchange for a small donation to the school. If you would like to take a look at what we have please see the office staff.
If you are a parent in possession of good quality uniform that you would be willing to donate to the school, please also see the office staff – thank you.

Felicity Nove
Felicity Nove's creations use poured paint that allow colors to flow and mix naturally. The Australian artist says her fluid paintings spill over and collide in much the same way that humans do with nature, and her art is meant to question how we can live sustainably within the environment. Nove creates her masterpieces on sustainably farmed Gessoboard, and she uses only recycled aluminum stretches. She says her interest in the environment comes from her father, an artist and engineer who designs sustainable energy schemes.

Fourth weekend/New Festival for Lost Princess!!
Well folks, we just finished our fourth weekend of the Carolina Renaissance Festival and, frankly, it was some fun. Even after three days during the week prior for "Student Days" (around 20,000 students in three days and also fun), we had a beautiful weekend. The weather was near perfect and the streets of the festival were busy with happy people. You know this is the time of year we just love here. Cool nights and gorgeous days! Only three weekends left, (plus Boo and Brew this Friday night). Time really flies when your having fun and being busy!
Speaking of busy — I've been listening to Martha Gay's tracks for her first solo CD (we are producing it as Blind Dog Entertainment) and her rendition of Wild Mountain Thyme brought tears — happy tears — to my eyes.
We're going into the studio this week to finish up recording Sarah Mullen's newest CD project. We're using a studio in Charlotte that comes well recommended by musician-type friends — Wire Knot studios. Bret Blackshear and Eddie Jeff Cahill will be adding their talents to the Carolina part of the recording!
EXCITING NEWS!!!! THE LOST PRINCESS just got accepted to the Eureka Springs Digital Film Festival in Eureka Springs Arkansas. (I hear from friends that its a very cool city!) The festival runs November 8 through November 13. THE LOST PRINCESS will be playing on Saturday Morning the 12th at 9 a.m. for The program "Breakfast with Eureka Kids". Plus the director informed me that it might play at another time during the run of the event! If you're in the area please go to a screening — support the festival and support THE LOST PRINCESS. Their website is www.eurekafilms.org.
This is our fourth festival acceptance! It seems that we hit our mark in trying to make a family film - Eureka Springs plus the endorsement by KIDS FIRST! — The Coalition for Quality in Children's Media (Go to www.kidsfirst.org and search titles for THE LOST PRINCESS) make me happy knowing we've created something the whole family can enjoy! Thank you all for your support!

Evelyn I. Evans, 84, known as Nana to her beloved grandchildren, went into the arms of the Lord on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009, at the Fort Hudson Health Care Center. Her death was on the anniversary of her marriage to her beloved husband, Chuck.
Born on Oct. 16, 1925, in Granville, she was the daughter of the late Hugh and Emily (Evans) Roberts.
Insisting she go with her sisters, Evelyn started school at the age of 3 years old. She graduated at the top of her class from Granville High School at the age of 16.
On Oct. 20, 1951, she married Forrest "Chuck" Evans at the Granville Baptist Church. Together they were proud to have built their beautiful home on East LaBarge Street in Hudson Falls. He passed away on April 2, 1998.
She worked as a bookkeeper for Telescope Folding Furniture in Granville and also worked in the insurance business. She had an unbelievable work ethic and was very proud of that. Evelyn was also active in many women's insurance associations, including the Glens Falls Area Insurance Women. Her incredible work ethic was admired by all.
Her strong devotion to the Hudson Falls Baptist Church was very evident in the fact that she served on many church committees, was a member of the St. David's Society, the Christian Women's Club and worked year round painting pictures, crafting decorations and other various artworks to sell at the church bazaar every November. Evelyn attended as many church activities as possible. Other activities relating to her beloved church included teaching Sunday School, being a member of the Pastoral Relations Board, the American Baptist Women, the
Women's Bible Study, the Adirondack Association-American Baptist Church, and especially the Board of Missions, of which she served as chairperson for many years. Her forte was the Board of Missions. While growing up in Granville, she was also very active in the Granville Baptist Church.
Evelyn was very proud of the fact that she started the Girls Scout Organization in Granville.
She was a very talented and well known oil and tole painter. Most of all, she was a wonderful mother and Nana to her grandchildren. Her sense of humor will be missed, as well as the comical stories she told. During World War II Mrs. Evans kept a scrapbook of all the news clippings, stories and pictures of the Granville area soldiers. Recently, because of the great detail of this scrapbook, it has gained interest from the Post Star and the Granville Historical Society.
Educating her children about national and historic sites while traveling with her family was very important to Evelyn. A three-week cross-country trip with her young girls and husband meant so much to her. Traveling to Europe, Hawaii, California, Florida, Cape Cod and Scarsdale with her family, husband, sister and brother -in- law gave her immense pleasure.
Her faith in God never wavered during her time of illness.
In addition to her parents and husband, she is predeceased by a sister, Florence Jones.
She is survived by her daughters, Sheila Itzo and her husband, Paul, of South Glens Falls and Wendy Bacon and her husband, Arthur, of Hudson Falls; her beloved grandchildren, David Itzo, Holly Itzo and Lindsay Bacon; her sister, Eleanor Retallack and her husband, Raymond, of Eldorado Hills, Calif.; one nephew, Mark Retallack and his wife, Betsy, and their children of Beverly, Mass.; one niece, Cindy Gregory and her husband, Kevin, and their children of Carmichael, Calif.; three cousins, Ken Williams and his wife, Ethel, of Athens, Pat Roberts of
Poultney, Vt, and Janice McFayden of North Carolina; and many dear close friends, whom she
Calling hours were held Monday at the Carleton Funeral Home Inc., 68 Main St., Hudson Falls.
Funeral services were conducted on Tuesday at the First Baptist Church of Hudson Falls on Main Street in Hudson Falls. Interment followed at Union Cemetery in the town of Fort Edward.
Family and friends gathered at Evelyn's Home following the funeral.
Evelyn's family would like to thank Dr. Joseph Mihindu and Dr. Scott Munroe as well as the Fort Hudson health Care Center, especially Roberta "Bobby" France, the director and a close friend of Sheila for 40 years, for their wonderful care, support and compassion during her illness.
They also ask that memorial donations in her memory be made to the American
Heart Association, P.O. Box 3049, Syracuse, N.Y. 13220, the First Baptist Church of Hudson Falls, 114 Main St., Hudson Falls, N.Y. 12839 , and Hospice of Washington County, 415 Lower Main St., Hudson Falls, N.Y. 12839.
Online condolences may be made to www.carletonfuneralhome.com.

As always, you are a great mom and advocater for your daughter.
There's a new nurse at our pedi's office.. I love our pedi, we've been with the practice for 10 years now, and literally they are a lifesaver.
I asked for a camp health form to be filled out... the new nurse checked off dd has psychological and behavioral issues due to.... her cerebral palsy!! ACK!!! She did NOT check off physical limitations... dd walks with a mild limp, so yes, there are mild physical limitations...
When I called, she said that's the typical symptoms with spastic diplegia... uhm, nope, actually it isn't... typical symptoms are decreased strength mostly in the lower torso. She asked if she could white out and resend. I requested a new form to be completed....
Geez, this is just so frustrating!! I'm taking deep breaths, deep breaths..
The ignorance is just beyond annoying, especially from a trained professional!!
Thanks for letting me vent!!! XOX!
As always, you are a great mom and advocater for your daughter.
Thank you Chaya!! XOX!! N
OK, that is not only infuriating from a SN parent perspective, it is terrifying from a patient care perspective. Who can possibly finish nursing school (and, like, *be* a nurse) thinking that CP is a psych/behavioral diagnosis and *not* a physical one?! I would seriously consider alerting the ped to this ignorance. It's scary!
Setting aside the medical care issue, it upsets me that so many people lump all people with disabilities together, like a big undifferentiated set of "can't." "Cerebral palsy" sounds the same to many people's ears as "autism" or "cognitive impairment" or "bipolar disorder." Those people don't bother getting to know our kiddos or adults with disabilities. That a nurse would succumb to the same ignorance is doubly disappointing!
sorry that happened!
Thanks Ladies!! It's just so sad and upsetting and... especially since the nurse had just met Leela... ugh!!
I did send a very nice response to the nurse, educating her about the dx... she thanked me for educating her about dd's diagnosis...
This is the hard part, on top of everything else to deal with ignorance...
Thank you and XOX!! N
I appreciate that you are nice and she was seemingly gracious, but like Leela really needs that in her life -- especially from people who should know better. Well, I guess we educate one person at a time sometimes.
Yep, we do educate one person at a time.. I'm so over it, to be honest though...
Thanks again! N

Membership for any group is by invitation only. Admins and hosts have the final say on who gets in, and who goes. This saves it from being a free-for-all.
Probably the first and best way to get started is to go through your contact list. Personally invite a select few whom you already enjoy following, and know would make for a great group.
If they're interested, share their profile with the group hosts.
Rinse and repeat!
Note: Don't be afraid to say no! Group hosts know how many 'applicants' are in the wings, and often opts for the member who best fits the tone of the group.
5. Share the Article!
Every new member should add a tweaked version of this article to their profile as a condition of membership. This helps spread the message!

Propeace Chesterfield has been awarded £10,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund through their First World War: then and now programme. The money will fund an exciting local project called Courage of Conscience which will discover and celebrate the stories of Derbyshire conscientious objectors, other resisters to the war, and their families.
Local and national research is the first phase of the project. So the group would be delighted to hear from local people about their stories of resistance to World War 1. Nationally there were 16,000 conscientious objectors, who refused to fight, for religious, ethical or political reasons. These brave and principled men often suffered great hostility from families and communities, and had to make their case before tribunals which usually refused them. Their fate varied from working with ambulance corps, imprisonment or the death sentence.
Despite the contempt they were shown at the time, a number of the COs later became respected for their principled opposition to the war including George Benson who was Labour MP for Chesterfield for most of the period between 1929 and 1964.
The Courage of Conscience project kicks off with two public meetings about local stories of resistance to the war and how everyone can help to find out more to contribute to the archives. The first will be at Chesterfield Labour Club on Saturday 29 November 2014, at 7pm, when Ben Copsey, Project Officer at the Peace Pledge Union, will talk about George Benson and others imprisoned for their stand, whose stories are held in the records of the Peace Pledge Union. Everyone is welcome to attend. See listings and advert for more information.
And at 1.00 p.m. on Saturday 17 January 2015 at Chesterfield Library Cyril Pearce, retired lecturer from Leeds University and authority on First World War conscientious objectors, will speak about his extensive research and how to explore local resources for more information. He is the author of "Comrades in Conscience" and has compiled a database of Conscientious Objectors, which he will explain.
Using the research, River Wolton, a former Derbyshire poet laureate will work with young writers in Derbyshire to create their own responses. If you are between 16 and 30 and this interests you please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Gertie Whitfield from Whitworks will also be creating history and drama materials based on the real experiences for use in classrooms in local schools. Finally the information will be available through a new Courage of Conscience website, the Propeace website, and the Derbyshire Record Office " Derbyshire Lives in the First World War" website.
Sue Owen from PropeaceChesterfield said: "We are absolutely thrilled to have received the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund for our Courage of Conscience project. We hope to raise awareness about the brave men and women who went against the national tide of opinion and enormous government and public pressure, and remained true to their principles by opposing the war and refusing to take up arms. We are really keen to hear from anyone who has any information about the conscientious objectors in Derbyshire, or would like to do research or be involved in the project in any way, so please get in touch with us."
Sue can be contacted by email at email@example.com

From Denise
I wanted to let you know that before my daughter came to you guys she had always been in a private daycare. She has learned so much since being at Kingdom Kids. We noticed in a matter of two weeks how she had grown already. I was so nervous about putting her in a public daycare, but you all have treated her so well. I am so glad that we decided to bring her to KK. Knowing that she is learning in a safe environment is the best thing a parent could ask for. I love knowing that the care she gets there is the same as we would give at home.

Food Tips
Comfort foods for fall
Beef and Green Bean Stew

Food Tips
Comfort foods for fall
So bittersweet is the autumn season. While we adore the awe-inspiring canvas of fall colours and reap the rewards of summer's bounty, old Jack Frost creeps over our gardens and cars as we sleep, reminding us that winter is right on time.
As the evenings cool down, give in to your desires for cozy fare. We've compiled a list of harvest favourites, plus some comfort staples to ease you into winter. Enjoy!
• Autumn Leek and Carrot Creamed Soup with Chive Oil
Alternatives to garnish this autumn soup could be crispy bacon sprinkles, chopped herbs or even just a dollop of sour cream.
• Roasted Mushroom Soup
Roasting the mushrooms develops their rich, woodsy flavour for this soup, which is wonderful for entertaining. Serve with Sun-Dried Tomato and Herb Focaccia.
• Cauliflower Soup
This soup skips the frying step so less fat is used and nutrients are preserved in the stock. Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable; members of this family are associated with reducing the risk of cancer.
• Corn and Cheddar Chowder
Chock full of veggies, this chowder is great with a spinach salad. End the meal with wedges of watermelon.
• French Onion Soup
This classic soup isn't hard to make, and it's a good way to use up stale bread.
• Sweet Potato Vichyssoise
A creamy, sweet delight.
• Thai Squash and Coconut Soup with Shrimp
Perfect for entertaining, this lightly spiced soup can be prepared a few days in advance. Use the stems and the carefully cleaned roots of the coriander for the fullest flavour.
• Chicken Stew with Dumplings
Thick sauce and juicy chunks of chicken and vegetables, topped off with fluffy dumplings, combine to make this stew the ultimate comfort food.
• Pork and Mushroom Stew
Serve this stew with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty Italian bread. The beef stock gives a rich meaty flavour to the oyster mushrooms and the sauce.
• Beef and Green Bean Stew
Choose an outside or inside round oven roast or shoulder pot roast. Starting with one piece of meat rather than precut stewing beef means that all the chunks will be similar in size and texture and will require the same cooking time.
• Braised Shallots and Squash Stew
Simmering the whole shallots and garlic cloves in the stew enhances their natural sweetness. If you like, you can substitute other seasonal favourites, such as rutabaga and carrots, for the squash and top the stew with crunchy croutons or toasted bread crumbs.
• Chicken Vindaloo
Garnish this stew with sprigs of coriander and serve with side dishes of plain yogurt, chutney, rice, cooked spinach and pappadams (spicy Indian wafers).
• Lamb Tagine with Artichokes and Mint
In Morocco, tagines, or stews, are cooked in a special pottery dish called a tagine slaoui, which has a conical lid that helps capture the steam to produce moist stews in thick sauces. You can use a large Dutch oven or saucepan for similar results. Serve this stew with couscous or warmed flatbreads.

From the oven
• Baked Beans with Apples
A great source of protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre, beans are something we should include more of in our diet. However, some delicious bean recipes can have a lot of sugar and saturated fat. This no-added-fat quick vegan version uses a bit of molasses and the natural sweetness of apples to weigh in at about half the fat and calories of traditional baked beans.
• Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
This bubbly, savoury lasagna is irresistible with its layers of roasted vegetables, tomato sauce and béchamel sauce. Since the recipe makes two dishes, enjoy one right away and freeze one for later.
• Mexican Lasagna
"Students like the spice in this lasagna," says Earl. "It outsells our regular lasagna." As in many of the cafeteria's dishes, the chef enlisted the help and taste buds of one of the students - this time a girl from Mexico.
• Baked Penne with Beef, Zucchini and Fontina Cheese
Leftovers are ideal to take to work or school in vacuum bottles.
• Moussaka
A hearty and filling Greek classic.
Comfort staples
• Classic Mashed Potatoes
This ultimate comfort food, flavoured in a myriad of ways, suits just about any meal. Makes a super side dish.
• Buttermilk Biscuits
This biscuit dough forms the base of many delectable rolled and shaped creations. Speedy enough to make for breakfast, you can stir up a batch even more quickly by measuring out the dry ingredients the night before.
• Cinnamon buns
Watch these little gems disappear before your eyes.
• Almond Baked Apples
A great way to use up fresh fall apples, and they smell wonderful.

Anti-adblock helped increase my blog earnings with Adnow
Wanted to share my experience about adblock problem. Was losing money due to adblock users constantly last year. Read lots of articles about how to block it for sure, but nothing really worked. And all of a sudden got a clue from a friend of mine. Turns out one of our common ad nets AdNow launched anti-adblock plugin to solve this problem. Installed it not being sure anything would've changed. But the miracle has happened at last. This week got 50 dollars more than the last one. Hope it's gonna work forever because I really like my income to grow. Though, it was a big challenge to set it up cause I'm not a wordpress user. Hope they will make it easier or at least will write an instruction for webs. Maybe it will help someone to solve adblock problem in the future.
By the way, do you have any suggestions how to solve this problem on other ad platforms? Thanks.

It's been 49 years, and some months, since Martin Luther King encouraged blacks (and all Americans) to move more of their assets into black-owned and -operated community banks.
Sadly, Dr. King's cri de couer has not yet been fully realized — and, indeed, over the last generation, has been reversed. As we've noted elsewhere, minority banks across the board continue a steep decline; there are now only 20 black-owned banks in the country.
Now, Bank Black USA proposes to do something about it. The organization has targeted an ambitious $500 million in increased assets for black banks by Martin Luther King Day, 2018.
As we've noted elsewhere, regulatory solutions seem to have failed both the minority banking and inter-related community banking sectors. Growth — and voluntary action like the program Bank Black USA is suggesting — may be the answer.

Soviet tractors in the 1930s
This was a booklet produced in the Soviet Union sometime in the 1930s on the country's tractors. Although he knew nothing about farming, like the party hacks sent into the countryside to manage collective farms, Stalin was a fan of tractors and propaganda films of the time often featured them and at least one showed him driving one.
In the early 1930s the Soviet Union had set ambitious plans to mechanise farming with three major tractor factories, a combine harvestor factory and a large machinery factory completed between 1930 and 1933. But, as with all their other industrial plans, the ambitious output targets were not reached.

The Ultimate Mini Album Website
I learned about the ticket book from the book Re-Bound: Creating Handmade Books from Recycled and Repurposed Materials. I truly think this is one of my favorite books on making books out of recycled items.
want to apologize for the coloring in the photos for this project. It
was a rainy day the day I made this and the lighting and my camera
skills were just not a good mix. But you should easily be able to understand the steps used in creating this book.
To make this mini book you will need two contrasting colors of tickets. You can purchase these tickets at office supply and party supply stores. I totally lucked out and got three different colors at a yard sale! Have I mentioned I love going to yard sales just for all the great crafting items to be found? :-)
So you will need:
Take three of the 4-ticket lengths and line them up vertically. Place
a piece of masking tape across the top of the three tickets with the
bottom of the tape 1-1/2" from the top of the tickets. The original
instructions said to use low-tack tape, but I didn't have any. I read on
the internet that if you stick the tape to your clothes you can make
your own low tack tape. Although I tried this, it still pulled some of
the ticket up when I took the tape off. Then I realized if I was careful
it didn't really matter because the pieces where the tape is placed is
actually folded over or cut off and never shows in the finished book.
Adhere another piece of masking tape across the bottom. It can overhang a bit.
Weave the other colored tickets over and under the vertical tickets, alternating whether you begin over or under the first ticket. Tape down both ends of these horizontal rows.
Remove tape from table and turn over. Remove tape from horizontal sides. Fold over the first, third and fifth tickets so that they are flush with the vertical tickets. Glue down with a glue stick. I found I needed to place something heavy on top until the glue dries. Remove tape from vertical sides. Fold over the middle ticket on the vertical tickets. Glue down.
Cut off all the other edges so that everything is even.
Repeat these steps for the remaining tickets to create the back cover.
Adhere decorative scrapbook paper to the backs of each cover.
Binding this book is extra fun because the loops in the tickets are part of the binding.
your inside pages in half. Use a piece of scrap paper the same size for
a template. Place it next to one of the covers and mark a line where
the tickets meet on the cover. You will have four lines.
Stack all the pages for your inside pages together. Using your marked template punch holes into the center of your signatures.
Cut a piece of bookbinding thread about 30". Begin at the bottom of the cover of your ticket book and slip needle and thread through the first ticket. Leave a few inches hanging out. Enter the bottom hole of the signature from the outside.
Come up the next hole and thread through the middle ticket.
Pull the thread close to the spine edge.
Go back in the third hole and exit the 4th hole.
Go through the top ticket.
Take your back cover and bring the thread across the top of the signature and under the top ticket.
Sew the back cover to the signature in the same way you sewed the front cover to the signature.
Your inside signature will look like this.
When you get to the bottom ticket on the back cover of your ticket book,
bring the thread underneath the book to the front again and under the
first bottom ticket again and into the bottom hole.
Take the needle off the bottom of the thread. Re-thread it with the tail
thread. Go across the ticket book to the back cover. Go under the first
ticket again and into the hold in the signature at the bottom. Tie in a
knot and trim.
Return from Ticket Book to Recycled Books

Hall, ESQ || 1-Oct-2014 A car accident is a terrifying experience and is even more so when someone is hit by a car. Anauto accident recently took place in Frederick County. Tragically, a Maryland pedestrian died at the scene. The accident occurred on a recent Sunday on Route 194. Authorities arrived at the scene and conducted a preliminary investigation. According to reports, a Volkswagen sedan crashed into a woman. After the crash, the driver stopped and reported the incident. The woman was reportedly wearing dark clothing and walking along the roadway at the time of the crash. In addition, the weather was foggy and dark. Authorities do not believe that speed was a contributing factor in the accident. It's not known if the driver is expected to be charged and no other information about this incident has been reported. A pedestrian involved auto accident is a horrific encounter for victims as well as their families. A pedestrian has died as a result of this tragedy and her family is left behind to grieve their loss. Understandably, the family of the deceased may ultimately decide to initiate legal action against the driver in the wake of the incident. Depending on the outcome of this investigation, the family may choose to file a wrongful death claim against the driver who hit the pedestrian. A successfully litigated claim -- which must be based upon actual proof of driver negligence that is found to have caused or materially contributed to the fatal accident -- may result in a Maryland civil courtroom awarding financial relief to the victim's surviving family.

Kuwait's Road Project
The MTCC contract signed by Ministry of Public Works is one of several projects in its pipeline to upgrade and improve the country's road network. It is expected to be completed in the next two years.
Located on the city's eastern coastline where Al Blajat Street meets Al Ta'awon Street and the Fifth Ring Road, Al Bidda Roundabout is a busy junction that often suffers from a slowdown in the flow of traffic.
Given existent construction in the area surrounding Al Bidda Roundabout, no changes will be made to its current size and shape, said a statement from the contractor.
As per the deal, Mushrif 's role will be to construct a grade separated interchange at a north-south axis along the coastal roads, said a senior official.
"Mushrif has been a long-standing partner to the Ministry of Public Works on several projects over the last four decades and has delivered over 20 road projects since," remarked its chief executive Chris Preece.
"We are proud to be an integral part of Kuwait's ongoing development efforts and it's not only about improving traffic conditions, but playing a lead role in 'building' Kuwait," he stated.
According to Preeece, this is the second road contract to be awarded to Mushrif within the last four months.
"We had outbid nine major international and local contractors with an offer at KD82.8 million ($272 million) for ministry tender for a 40-km road serving new developments in the cities of Sabah Al Ahmad and Mina Abdulla including the Mina Abdulla industrial area, and allow for safe access to and from Al Wafra," he added.
In addition to protecting and relocating utilities in the area, Mushrif will be managing traffic during the construction phase to keep the busy Al Bidda Roundabout operational as per Ministry of Interior (MoI) requirements, revealed Preece.
It will also work closely with MoI to install ducting, cabling and CCTV masts for future traffic surveillance and management, while relocating existing security cameras, he added.-

Disparities in U.S. Asylum Rulings
- Variability among judges: "Denial rates for the 208 judges ranged from a low of 10% to a high of 98%."
- Legal representation: "While having a lawyer by no means ensures success -- 64% of these requests are denied -- the denial rate for those without it is far higher, 93%."
- Nationality of asylum-seeker: "Since FY 2000, more than 80 percent of individuals from El Salvador, Mexico and Haiti...have been denied asylum. At the other extreme are asylum seekers, while less numerous, from Afghanistan and Burma whose odds of denial are less than 30 percent."
TRAC reports on asylum law and process will be available 10 August 2006.

Colombia: internal displacement - policies and problems (June 2006) [text]
- A WriteNet paper.
For comparison, I did some searches in ecoi.net's re-designed site. The WriteNet paper isn't in their database yet, but the IDMC profile is. However, it did not appear in my search results for IDPs in Colombia. That said, other recent information was retrieved; some examples:
Colombia : Voices of the displaced in Pasto (17 July 2006) [text]
- From Refugees International.
The role of young IDPs as child soldiers (17 July 2006) [text]
- From the Colombia Journal.
Colombian laws and framework to assist IDPS are good, but their non-application affects enjoyment of rights, UN expert says (27 June 2006) [text]
- From OHCHR.
The moral of the story is, if you are undertaking comprehensive research, use a variety of information tools and resources to cover all your bases.

ecoi.net search features
Here are a few notes re. searching the re-designed ecoi.net site:
Browse by country:
- When you select a country from the drop-down list, you'll be presented with a country menu providing access to country and human rights reports, organized in reverse chronological order so the most recent items appear first.
- Other options lead you to background country information (mainly from AlertNet, the BBC, CIA World Fact Book and the U.S. State Department), maps, national laws and links. Most countries don't have much listed for the latter two at this early stage of development.
- Some countries also have a link to "Topics and Issues," which leads to another menu with access to documents by topic (protection, security, humanitarian...), by human rights issue, by background country category, etc. [Note: The white font on the yellow background is very hard to read on this menu.]
If you select a country and enter a search term, the search will be conducted throughout the ecoi.net database, so more documents are searched than the specific ones listed in the individual country menus.
Alternatively, you can just enter a search term or terms. Depending on the term entered, it can sometimes take a while before your search results are displayed. Moreover, there is no indication that the search is being processed, which can be a bit confusing. It would be helpful to have some confirmation that a search is actually taking place.
Advanced search allows you to focus your search to a specific source/publisher, document type and/or language. You can also indicate a time frame to limit your results. You have the option to sort your search results by publication date, publication on ecoi.net (i.e., when it was posted to the site, which is not necessarily the same was when it was published), and relevance.
Search results:
If you search by a keyword, the results include a snippet of the report displaying the keywords in context. The link, however, still connects you to the original document and source. This is helpful for verification purposes. A link is also provided to the homepage of the publisher/source.
Overall, most features from the original site have been retained. However, the revised site is more streamlined than it was before. The previous homepage was too busy - there was a lot to have to sift through. The new ecoi.net is now better structured, and users are not immediately confronted with a mass of information, particularly when selecting an individual country.
Now it's up to COI users to determine the efficacy of the search engine and site and its ability to support the COI research process!

New Issues in Refugee Research
"UNHCR's newly established Policy Development and Evaluation Service (PDES) has assumed responsibility for the publication of the research paper series, 'New Issues in Refugee Research.' PDES is hoping to increase the number of papers published in the series, and would like to hear from anyone who has a paper to contribute. Papers submitted to the series should be based on original research or thinking on refugee, humanitarian and migration issues. UNHCR aims to publish the papers as quickly as possible, and has no objection to the papers being republished in journals or books. For all correspondence, please contact email@example.com."
Three new working papers in this series were posted 14 July on the UNHCR site.
Forced displacement in Africa: Dimensions, difficulties and policy directions, Working Paper No. 126 [text]
The Refugee Convention as a rights blueprint for persons in need of international protection, Working Paper No. 125 [text]

Re-organized sites: AidWorkers.net and ECOI.net
Aidworkers Network is a "comprehensive resource for busy field workers needing practical advice and proven resources to help with their current work." The refreshed site retains most of the same sections as the original incarnation, including the "Forum" where practitioners can post or answer questions, the "Aid Workers Exchange" which is an email bulletin with short, practical articles, and the "Advice pages" with guidance, links and references to key support materials. A new feature is the "Journals" section, which appears to be a news service that aggregates relevant stories from various blogs. Hopefully, the site creators will add more information about how to navigate around and what users can expect to find where.
ecoi.net is a gateway for locating country of origin information. The site "gathers, structures and processes publicly available country of origin information with a focus on the needs of asylum lawyers, refugee counsels and persons deciding on claims for asylum and other forms of international protection." Not all changes have been fully implemented as of this writing. For example, some sub-sections under the "Sorted Research Resources" have not yet been populated with links. I haven't had a chance to fully explore the site to determine what's new and different. The newest features and design changes have not been fully described at this point. This will be helpful, once it becomes available. Upon first glance, though, it would appear that the site is more search-driven than it was previously, so several trial searches would be worth undertaking. Next week's task!

Diabetes can cause problems with brothers and sisters, but it won't always be like that.
Are you or your brothers and sisters jealous?
You might feel jealous if you think your brothers and sisters are allowed to do more than you while your mum and dad are trying to get used to looking after your diabetes. Or, your brothers and sisters might feel that you're getting all the attention because of your diabetes, and they have to make a big fuss to get your mum and dad to remember they exist.
Talk to your brothers and sisters and ask what's upsetting them.
Do your brothers and sisters understand?
If your brothers and sisters don't understand about diabetes, they might be frightened or worry they won't know what to do if you have a hypo. They might also be scared that they're going to get diabetes too.
Explain as much as you can about your diabetes - show them how you do a test and inject. Ask your mum or dad to see if your nurse can come and talk to your brothers and sisters about diabetes.
- Your mum and dad will need to learn about diabetes just like you.
- Your brother or sister might feel left out so talk to them and get them involved with your diabetes.
How to help them
There are some simple things you and Mum and Dad can do to make things easier with your brother or sister.

Making a website is difficult if you want to make it from scratch. And seeing how I am a big fan of making things difficult for myself… This is the main reason why I have not been updating this blog to often lately.
I am slowly learning to use Dreamweaver, and the site is actually starting to come along now 😀 I'll let you guys know when I upload it.
And since this is a drawing blog, I have decided to add a quick drawing I made while taking a break from drawing buttons for my website.
I started the drawing with no plans on what to draw, and just added lines until I ended up with this…
Sometimes, I scare myself.

At the same time they are more efficient, with fewer emissions and better performance than their predecessors. These innovative engines combine the latest fuel injection technology and fully variable valve control including Double-VANOS with state-of-the-art turbocharger technology and represents a milestone in the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy.

I think this is going to be the summer of popsicles for me. It might have something to do with the Florida humidity, or at least that's my excuse. The latest batch I made are these Coconut Mango Lime Popsicles and I just can't get enough of them!
We ate up all the Fruit Smoothie Popsicles and it was time for a new batch of popsicles to keep in the freezer. You know what I love about popsicles? They have built in portion control. For a girl like me that loves ALL frozen treats (especially ice cream), that's a good thing. I could seriously eat several of these coconut mango lime popsicles throughout the day if I wasn't careful. They're sweet, coconut-y, a little tart with a hint of mango.
The thing to remember about making popsicles is you need to make them sweeter than you think. Once the mixture is frozen it doesn't taste as sweet as it does right out of the blender. I used frozen mango chunks this time around and they weren't as sweet as I would have liked so I used more cream of coconut (the sweetened coconut stuff used in Pina Coladas). If you have really sweet mangos you could probably cut back on the amount of cream of coconut.
These Coconut Mango Lime Popsicles are such a delicious, creamy, yummy treat! (P.S. I bet they'd be good with a little rum added in the mix…just sayin'…)
- 1 can coconut milk
- ½ - ¾ C. cream of coconut* (sweetened coconut cream, comes in a can and is what is typically used for Pina Coladas)
- 1 lime, juiced and zested
- 1½ C. mango chunks (I used frozen mango cubes)
- Put all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into popsicles molds and freeze several hours until frozen*
I put a few diced pieces of mango in the bottom of a couple popsicle molds prior to filling them, you can do that too if you want but it's not necessary.
I use this type of popsicle mold (affiliate link) but you can use any type you like.
Catch up with me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or Twitter. I'd love for you to follow along!
