Before I scoped out any nurseries, I expected them to all be pretty much the same. What I found, was that each was very different from the next.
This can either work to your advantage or disadvantage. For me, it was an advantage, as one fitted perfectly, but I'm sure there are nurseries out there where compromises may have to be made to pick the right one.
So here is a run down of five factors that I used to rate the nurseries on, which I hope will help others to make their own minds up.
I've not covered location, as that's usually something that you'll think about before you take a look round.
1. Price
Price plays a major role in the decision of which nursery to go to – after all, you don't want to be spending all your hard earnings on a nursery place! Unfortunately, this is something that is often not put on websites – probably as a way of making sure that their competition can't check up on their pricing structure without doing some under cover recon.
For me, this was really annoying as price is a really important factor that actually made a sway decision for us between two nurseries. Having to go and have a tour before they gave us their pricing structure meant that one nursery was immediately ruled out after being £6 more expensive per day.
Each nursery will also have a different plan for what the price includes – but most will include food for those that have been (or are being) weaned. One of the nurseries I looked at even included branded nappies and formula, making it less faff to take in nappies and formula pots.
It depends if you have this choice, but when comparing nurseries it's important to consider what's included as one may be slightly more expensive, but may include nappies etc making it cheaper in the long run.
2. Outdoor play
For me, having a nice place to play outdoors is really important. I want Georgia to be able to have a bit of fresh air rather than being cooped up indoors all day. Each of the three nurseries we looked at had different outdoor spaces.
One just had a small concrete outdoor area which I wasn't too keen on, one had a lovely grassed area split into different sections so that the bigger kids don't trample the smaller, while the last one had a shared outdoor area, but take it in turns to go outside.
They each also had different outdoor play equipment, ranging from ride ons, sand tables and even an area to make dens.
It's also important to look at sunshade – do they have shaded areas to be out when it's really sunny? What is their policy on suncream?
3. Times available
Each nursery had completely different times available. Some have morning and afternoon sessions with a full day from 7.30am to 630pm as standard whereas other nurseries have an hourly rate so you can pick and choose.
It will all depend on where you work as to which choice is best for you!
4. Food standards
Food is an important factor to consider when you're looking at nurseries. Will they stick to your weaning diet? What does their menu look like and it is nutritional? Do they buy local (if this is important to you!)?
As they prepare food, it's also good to see how they rate for food safety. It's also important to have a look at when they offer food. Most will offer breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, but this may differ between nurseries.
5. That fuzzy feeling
Each nursery will also have different play equipment and be in different surroundings. For me, I got that warm fuzzy feeling in one nursery and I just knew that Georgia would love playing there. It could be down to the type of toys that they have, how independent the children are allowed to be with play (toys in boxes to pull out rather than 100% structured) and what sort of group activities they do – such as messy play!
Choosing a nursery is a very personal decision that will be a mixture of logic and heart to make. It's recommended to see at least three to compare the differences as no two will be alike!

Today is a new day! Today is a day of uprising, of unity, of revolution!
Today, women across this great land will claim what we've long toiled in the shadows to earn, what has always been just out of reach, what is our sacred birthright.
Today, we step to freedom and take our rightful place at that mightiest of backyard thrones — the grill.
The jig is up, grill oppressors! No longer will women run around organizing salads, doing dishes, changing diapers, greeting guests, and setting tables while you men stand – tongs in one hand, refreshing adult beverage in the other, calmly surveying your backyard empire – with only one chore before you.
No! No more! We see you there, relaxing and chatting with your buddies, regaling tales of the fish that got away, dreaming of old cars restored, and chuckling about yet another day of Bob's hilarious office antics.
We see you there. Yes, we see you there, and we are on to you. We know what you love and why you love it. The fire! The danger! The sausages! And, of course, the glorious joy of having only one dinnertime task.
Oh, yes. We're coming for you.
Gird your loins, men! And by that I mean, bring me the pork loin! For, as you're well aware, I am unable to leave the grill unattended to fetch it myself.
Therein lies the rub, no? And by "rub" I mean: while you're in the kitchen collecting condiments, cutting watermelon, and making potato salad, please apply that dry-rub to the steak. Because, as you're well aware, I am unable to leave the grill unattended to prepare the steak myself.
Is that not what you've taught us all these years? That a grill chef never leaves his grill? That, in fact, a man at his grill is not physically able to move outside of a tight 10 to 12 foot radius for the duration of the barbecue? That all other associated responsibilities – from child-rearing to side-dish preparing to clean-up – must be delegated lest the chicken be set ablaze.
Just how will this revolution happen? How will we, at long last, become queens of the barbecue, sipping our Prosecco, and gleefully socializing, while occasionally turning the kebobs or sprinkling salt?
Easy! Follow these 7 simple steps:
1 | Make the announcement.
Announce to all involved parties — this will generally include husbands, or any partner who has kept you down with their pervasive and hurtful grillism — that a new day has dawned!
Henceforth, YOU, yes YOU, will be manning — or shall i say woman-ing — the grill.
Expect to anger the masses. Never back down!
2 | Mark your territory.
After your announcement, go immediately to your grill and mark your territory!
This could mean anything from distributing your urine nearby, to decorating the grill with dream-catchers, to spray painting that beast with gold-flecked neon orange.
It matters not what you do, it matters only that you do you. This is YOUR grill now, queen. Be the grill queen.
3 | Have a barbecue.
Invite your friends and family over for a cookout and take your rightful place at the grill!
Stand in full power pose at all times — feet apart, arms akimbo — appearing sturdy, fierce, and unassailable in your new and honorable role.
4 | Fire!
Build and stoke a triumphant fire! (Or, you know, just turn it on if it's propane.)
Either way, let loose a victorious cackle at the sight of flames, big or small, orange or blue.
Pound your chest and exclaim: ME MAKE FIRE!
5 | Make demands!
Since you can NEVER leave your grill unattended, you must immediately begin making demands.
Bring me the pork chops! I need more sauce! I'm out of booze! QUICK! TELL YOUR FATHER I NEED A KNIFE!
Ah, yes, bask in the glory of your power and freedom.
6 | Be vigilant.
Never succumb to trickery, for there are those who wish to sabotage your reign.
Stay alert and look out for phrases like, "Hey, why don't you take a break," and "Honey, can you come and show me how to shuck corn?" or even, "You do realize you'll probably singe your eyebrows, right?"
Stay completely calm, even in the face of the weighty and unnerving eyebrow threat.
7 | Enjoy!
No longer will you languish in the confines of the kitchen while your grill oppressor breathes in that smokey air elixir, enjoying the camaraderie of friends, and watching a beautiful sunset you cannot even see.
No more. No longer.
Welcome, sisters. Welcome to your vast queendom. Welcome to your grill.

Based on international human rights norms and standards, the Guiding Principles provide for the first time global policy guidelines focusing specifically on the human rights of people living in poverty. They are intended as a practical tool for policy-makers to ensure that public policies (including poverty eradication efforts) reach the poorest members of society, respect and uphold their rights, and take into account the significant social, cultural, economic and structural obstacles to human rights enjoyment faced by persons living in poverty.
The Human Rights Council adopted the Guiding Principles at its 21st session in September 2012. The Principles are available in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish in a full-colour booklet format. They are also available in English - French - Spanish - Arabic - Chinese - Russian - Italian - Polish - Portuguese
In 2001, the former United Nations Commission on Human Rights (the predecessor to the Human Rights Council) stressed the need to develop a set of Principles on the implementation of existing human rights norms and standards in the fight against extreme poverty. In response, the former UN Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights entrusted an ad hoc group of experts with the task of preparing the Draft Guiding Principles on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights (DGPs).
The DGPs were submitted to the Human Rights Council (HRC) at its second session in 2007. In 2008, through resolution 7/27, the HRC requested the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR) to undertake a consultation and organise a seminar on the DGPs to gather the views of various stakeholders. OHCHR distributed the DGPs for comments to all relevant stakeholders including States, United Nations agencies, treaty bodies, and special procedure mandate-holders, other intergovernmental organisations, national human rights institutions and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The Seminar was held in Geneva on 27 and 28 January 2009 and participants included State and UN representatives, human rights experts and civil society organizations. Background documents to this seminar are available here.
Following OHCHR's report of the seminar (A/HRC/11/32) and the recommendations of the Seminar contained therein, in September 2009, through resolution 12/19, the HRC invited the Special Rapporteur (then Independent Expert) on extreme poverty and human rights to pursue further work on the existing DGPs and present a progress report with her recommendations on how to improve the current draft to the HRC in September 2010, to allow the Council to take a decision on the way forward with a view to a possible adoption of guiding principles by 2012.
The Special Rapporteur undertook several formal and informal consultations on the Draft Guiding Principles, with representatives of States, UN agencies and civil society organizations. For example, in March 2010, the Special Rapporteur organised a consultation on the Draft Guiding Principles on Extreme Poverty with development practitioners at Brandeis University, and in May 2010 she organised an Expert Consultation on the Draft Guiding Principles in collaboration with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Geneva.
The Special Rapporteur's report was presented at the 15th session of the Human Rights Council in September 2010. It included both the rationale behind the report's proposals and the basic conceptual definitions that framed them. It also outlined the main challenges experienced by persons living in extreme poverty that must be taken into account when preparing the Guiding Principles. Lastly it presented an annotated outline of the Special Rapporteur's proposal on how to improve the draft guiding principles.
The report is available here E S and unofficial translation into French.
Human Rights Council resolution 15/19 of 30 September 2010 invited OHCHR to organize a two-day consultation on the Special Rapporteur's report. This consultation took place on 22 and 23 June 2011in Geneva.
To obtain more precise information and suggestions on this theme, OHCHR requested written comments and submissions on the report. The written submissions were provided according to the following questionnaire in English - French - Spanish.
The contributions that were received by States, Experts and civil society can be found here.
Based on the consultation on 22 and 23 June and on the written comments received, OHCHR submitted an analytical compilation of the submissions received in writing and made at the consultation, as a report to the Human Rights Council at its 19th session.
The report (A/HRC/19/32) is available here: E F S A C R
The Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Ms. Magdalena Sepúlveda, pursued further work and consultation on the draft guiding principles and submitted a final draft of the revised guiding principles to the Council at its 21st session (A/HRC/21/39: E F S A C R). The Special Rapporteur's statement to the Human Rights Council can be found here: E S.
On September 27th, the Human Rights Council adopted the Guiding Principles on extreme poverty and human rights, by consensus, in resolution 21/11 (E F S A C R).
On 20 December 2012, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on human rights and extreme poverty where it "Takes note with appreciation of the guiding principles on extreme poverty and human rights, adopted by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 21/11 as a useful tool for States in the formulation and implementation of poverty reduction and eradication policies, as appropriate." (A/RES/67/164, paragraph 17).
Now that States have shown their commitment to eliminating extreme poverty in a human rights-based manner, it is crucial that they put this into practice through the application of the Guiding Principles in all poverty eradication measures and other policies that impact on the rights of persons living in poverty. The Special Rapporteur is working to promote the wide dissemination and application of the Guiding Principles, in partnership with civil society organisations at the national and international levels.

Leaf guards
The issue of leaf matter presents a problem for gutter systems, especially in areas with vast amounts of trees and shrubs. The installation of a Leaf Guard system attempts to avoid problems such as blockages, rust, overflows, and vermin entry. Leaf Guards are available in a range of materials and styles (Aluminium, Stainless Steel,Zincalume), specifically applied to varying degrees of leaf problems.
- All safety requirements adhered to
- 15 year warranty on all leaf guard products
- Fire rating of Zero for Zinc,Aluminuim & Stainless
- Leaf Diverters
Light to Medium Leaf Problems
For light to medium leaf problems, an internal corrigated aluminium leaf guard system is suitable, which sits inside the Gutter above the internal brackets and stops leaves reaching the lower section of the gutter, allowing a clear area for water to flow.
This system involves a small amount of maintenance, as it is necessary for the built up leaf matter to be periodically removed from above the Leaf Guard system. This leafguard system is not visible from any point, and therefore is only available in a non-painted finish.
Medium to High Leaf Problems
For more serious leaf problems, an external high quality polyethylene mesh leaf guard system is more suitable. This mesh system is U.V. stabilized and fire retarded and is made from a very high quality polyethylene. This system actually stops any leaf matter entering the gutter system at all, sitting over the first row of tiles. Due to the angle of the mesh, any leaf matter merely slides over the mesh and off the edge of the gutter, falling back into the garden. This removes any need for maintenance as the leaf matter removal is totally automated by gravity.
It is fitted to the front bead of the gutter and bridges the gap to the roof, covering the top of the Gutter. On a Tile roof it also covers the bottom row of tiles. The mesh therefore follows the slope of the roof and allows any material falling on the roof to slide straight off, whilst the water filters through the mesh and into the gutter. This leaf guard is the only leaf filtering product that we recommend for use on any low back gutters as it prevents water back-flowing into the roof space. The mesh is available in a wide range of colours to match almost any roof colour, allowing it to seemlessly become a part of any roof.
Vermin Control
Leaf guard mesh is also excellent for vermin control, as it covers the first row of tiles, which helps to prevent Birds, Possums, Rats, Mice and other vermin from entering your roof space, Gutter systems and therefore your water tank.
Pre-installation job setup
- We provide you with a schedule of the job, and an approximate commencement date.
- We contact you 1-2 weeks prior to commencement with delivery details and expected start.
- We inspect delivery of materials to check they are correct regarding quality, colour and quantity.
- We make sure all materials are safely stored and do not cause you any inconvenience.
During leaf guard / gutter installation
- We check weather forecasts.
- We only remove the roof and gutter sections to be replaced that day. This ensures your home is not left exposed to the elements overnight.
- We inspect roofing / guttering timbers and advise you of any defects that require attention.
- We remove any birds nest or other foreign matter.
- We install roofing and guttering materials as per Australian standards.
- We make sure your roof is water tight and secure before leaving at end of each day.
Completion of leaf guard / gutter installation
- We check that all gutters have the correct fall and stormwater is directed away from the building.
- We remove all debris and iron filings (swarf) from roof and gutters.
- We clean up all related rubbish on site into one area for removal.
- We have a site inspection with you, to make sure you are very happy with the work.

Modelled on London's famed Spitalfields Market and hidden in Oak Place near bustling Chapel Street, the compact South Yarra Market houses a number of stalls showcasing contemporary craft by up and coming local makers, all available to purchase.
Unlike some markets, awash with cheap trinkets and garments well beyond their use-by date, South Yarra's stallholders offer a range of high quality goods including fashion, art, vinyl and vintage that may be well loved but is still in good nick. The market opens for business at the civilised hour of 11am, so buyers can enjoy a luxurious sleep-in before trawling through tables with like-minded bargain hunters.
There's a food stall set up alongside a mishmash of lounge chairs, where visitors can enjoy soup or poffertje (mini Dutch pancakes), washed down with a comforting mulled wine or mug of Columbian coffee.
Whilst the opening weekend saw the market get off to a leisurely start we predict rapid growth ahead. Best to get in before the secret gets out.
To arrange a stall, visit the South Yarra Market website.

Everybody wants a crossover SUV, except for driving enthusiasts because weight + taller center of gravity = sad face emoji.
If you like to drive, but daily life demands more space for passengers and cargo in a safe, all-wheel-drive vehicle, don't worry. There are several crossover SUVs that meet the criteria without sucking all of the joy out of your commute.
Personally, my favorite is the 2017 Ford Edge Sport, equipped with a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, available 21-inch wheels and performance tires, and a driving thrill unmatched by anything at its price. Unfortunately, it does not qualify as a "Top Safety Pick" according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), coming up short in the small overlap frontal-impact test.
The five vehicles that follow, however, do earn this crash protection designation. So if that's your most important consideration, as it should be for any vehicle in which you're planning to carry your family, check out one of these fun and safe crossover SUVs. They are listed in alphabetical order.

| Tatenhill airfield is a few miles away and the nearest aerodrome of Second World War vintage to home. My interest in Tatenhill aerodrome started when I was about 14 (circa 1968). With my school friend Gary I would cycle up to the airfield and we would 'trespass' at high speed along the peri track pretending to be Graham Hill or Jim Clark in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. More recently my wife and I have walked along the footpaths of the Needwood area and so I've become reacquainted with the history of the site that survives today.
The airfield is still used for flying by local clubs and moneyed individuals and became licensed by the CAA for commercial flying in 1997. There has been a marked increase in activity over the past year or so.
"Best described as the aerodrome no one wanted, its war was spent as an RLG for a number of Midlands training units. Tatenhill had the last laugh though because it continued to operate aeroplanes long after its contemporaries were ploughed-up and still does now. Being the nearest airfield to Burton-on-Trent, centre of the English brewing industry, it was the obvious choice from which to operate a succession of business aircraft, the latest of which is the Beech Super King-Air G-BCUZ. A Cessna Citation executive jet visited recently and crop-spraying aircraft are often seen here too.
|"These modern aircraft look very out of place amidst the fenced-off runways and crumbling wartime buildings. The King-Air is kept at one end of the east-west runway in a post-war hangar which resembles a cut-down 'T2' and there is a small control tower attached. The original hangars, a 'T2' and two Blisters, have gone but the old watch tower still stands in good condition a few hundred yards from its modern replacement. It is one of the small satellite types with four windows at the front, all very small to facilitate blacking-out. The upstairs control room retains its wooden floor and some of the internal doors are left, although all the inscriptions are now illegible. A small concrete block-house with no windows stands just behind it, once the 'speech broadcasting station'.
|"Built in 1941 in picturesque rolling countryside, it was intended as a satellite for 27 OTU who flew Wellingtons from Lichfield on night-bomber training. This it became on November 2 1941, one of the OTU's Flights being detached here. There is also some evidence that it was used by 16 EFTS as an RLG for Burnaston during 1941, until Abbots Bromley became available, although this seems doubtful if construction was in progress.
The airfield was provided with a bomb dump on the south-east side and a number of frying pan dispersals were built on land to the north of the B5234 road, the hangars being situated in this area too. However, Tatenhill was found wanting and considered unsuitable for Wellingtons. It was only used until the larger aerodrome at Church Broughton was completed in October 1942 and was then left under a care and maintenance party. All flying facilities were retained and were used again on November 7 1942 when the station was loaned to Flying Training Command for 15 (P) AFU. This was an Oxford-equipped unit which was forced to use satellites literally all over the country after being displaced from its HQ at Leconfield to Andover for operational reasons.
"Tatenhill was next allocated to 5 (P) AFU at Tern Hill as a satellite for single-engined training. The Oxfords of the 15 (P) AFU detachment were to go to Grove in Berkshire. Indicative of the 'musical chairs' situation often prevailing in wartime airfield allocations, it was necessary to move the Heavy Glider Conversion Unit operating from Grove to Brize Norton as soon as possible. When the former station was vacated Tatenhill's Oxfords could go there, leaving room for the Miles Masters. This complicated re-shuffle was achieved by May 4 1943 and 'E' Flight of 5 (P) AFU started flying from Tatenhill, specializing in navigation and night training. This went on until January 28 1944 when the airfield was transferred to the control of 21 (P) AFU and Oxfords reappeared in the circuit.
"One of these Oxfords was destroyed in a spectacular crash on August 17 when EB731's trainee pilot failed to notice an aircraft below him on the approach. The runway controller fired a red Very light to warn him, whereupon he turned steeply to starboard and lost control. A wing tip struck the ground rolling the aircraft over and the pilot was very lucky to escape with minor injuries.
|"On November 27 1944 the surrounding countryside was split by a mighty explosion, said to have been the biggest blast ever heard in the British Isles. The underground bomb-store used by 21 MU at Fauld, only three miles to the north of Tatenhill, had blown up with much loss of life and the huge overgrown crater can still be seen. No 21 MU now had to find a new base and eventually took over Tatenhill, the 21 (P) AFU aircraft moving to Seighford on January 26 1945.
|"The RAF School of Explosives was also here from October 1945 until January 1947. The airfield was sold in the 1950s and the land between the runways has been cultivated. Many of the buildings near the tower have been converted into chicken houses but the dome-shaped astro trainer on this site has been demolished."
[David J Smith 1990]
|Following the post-war release of Tatenhill aerodrome by the RAF to the Duchy of Lancaster's tenants in c1953, it was disused for a few years. The Burton-Newborough road (B5234), which traverses the site, had been closed 'for the duration' and was reopened in May 1954.
|In 1959 the Burton upon Trent based Ind Coope brewery, who had a fleet of executive aircraft based at Burnaston airfield, acquired the lease to Tatenhill and transferred its operations there. On the north-east side of the perimeter track the company erected a remodelled, re-used Bellman hanger with a new control tower and office suite attached. At first only the eastern two-thirds of runway 08/26 was used. The other runways deteriorated rapidly and were used only occasionally. Runway 16/34 became disused very quickly while 014/22 was soon suitable for light aircraft only. Runway 08/26 was later extended to its present length of 1200m (1312 yds). A radar facility was erected at the convergence of 08/26 and 16/34 to deal with the dense winter fogs encountered over the Needwood Forest.
|At commencement of operations Ind Coope transferred Captain David Lancaster (ex-RAF Fighter pilot) from Manchester to Tatenhill to become Chief Pilot. Captain Wally Evans DFC was appointed as his no. 2, with Chief Engineer Terry McCarthy completing the team. In 1961 Dave Moon replaced Terry McCarthy and he remained as Chief Engineer throughout, taking retirement in 1985. The team were joined by Captain Laurie Walford (ex-RAF) in 1968, who went on to became Chief Pilot upon David Lancaster's retirement. At its height the company had five pilots on site. At various times the brewery owned several executive aircraft based at Tatenhill including: G-APCZ de Havilland 104 Dove, G-ARDE de Havilland 104 Dove 6, G-ASNO Beech B55 Baron, Beech B 58 Baron S-ASIU Beech B65-A80 Queen Air, G-ASXV Beech B65-A80 Queen Air, and G-BCUZ Beech King Air 200. By the end of its operation the company had a Beechcraft King Air 90 and a Beechcraft King Air 200.
|A highlight for all the staff at Tatenhill was a visit by HM the Queen in 1982 who, after visiting the Duchy of Lancaster estates in the Needwood Forest, flew out from the airfield in a Royal Flight aircraft. Laurie Walford, Dave Moon and other members of the team were presented to her before she departed.
|The wartime watch tower became derelict during this period and was considered structurally unsafe. Concern was expressed that children using it as a playground might be injured and it was demolished in 1982/3.
|The years 1984-5 saw large cutbacks at Allied Breweries which resulted in the closure of operations at Tatenhill in July 1985. The workforce, including Laurie Walford and Dave Moon, were made redundant and the aircraft sold. Thus ended a period of over 25 years private flying from the airfield.
|A couple of years later the site came into the hands of Merlin Automatics Ltd, operating as an unlicensed airfield. It gained a licence in 1996, after the company became Tatenhill aviation. The second runway, 04/22, became disused some time after 2003.
|The 21st century has brought a new development to the site. Due to the airfield's strategic position within the midland counties, the Midlands Air Ambulance have stationed a rescue helicopter (G-EMAA) on the northern peri-track west of the control tower and and flight operation buildings (see here).

The authors conducted experiments on the effect of RFR on bacterial cultures. They exposed the cultures to 835 MHz RFR at a SAR of 4 W/kg for 48 hours. They compared the effect of the RFR with control cultures on bacterial reverse mutation and on DNA degradation.
The RFR alone showed no effect in these experiments. When a mutagen was added, the RFR exposed groups showed alterations in the reverse mutation frequency, but the results were inconsistent.

Ever hear of Eye Modeling? Parts Modeling tips
A girl recently found my blog and reached out on Facebook, she asked about how to get into eye modeling. This was my reply and it might help a girl looking to get into parts modeling:
Eye modeling is a part of a type of modeling called "parts modelng" Well you totally need some photos of your eyes, close ups. Do you have any?
I suggest focusing on ads and editorials in magazines that involve makeup, glasses, skincare, even tweezer brands need eyes and eye brows for their packaging I imagine. I would do some research on where you see eyes used in the advertising world. I would try to target your photos to look like ads. Look up, look straight at the camera, also do a profile shot, show your eyes natural without makeup and then with makeup. Once you have a selection of photos it is best to put together a compcard. I use www.compcard.com - Then you can print up a compcard fousing on parts and print modeling, aside the "eye shots" include a nice headshot/beauty shot. Natural, not too cakey with makeup. Be yourself. You might also want to include a nice shot of you casual in jeans or a dress smiling as well. Then you would mail the photos to modeling agencies that book parts models, or have a parts division. I know Flaunt Models does, FFT Models, Parts Models, CESD, have parts divisions. So your best bet is to mail, mail, mail your photos and keep a compcard handy as well for your own promotion. Perhaps at a beauty expo, tradeshow, or event you can attend and network with brands that might need a model. Modeling is about self promotion, about making what you want to happen, it does take work...modeling is not a show off game- like many girls think- modeling is about how well you market yourself. Photos are key.. so get those eye photos!
I hope this helps!

I have a few days off from work now to spend time with my family and get my preparations for my move fro the UK to Australia on the 8th August so wanted to try and catch up on my blogging especially as the sales have been so good recently 🙂
My look centres around the maxi skirt that is by Emery at the current round of FaMESHed and is an outfit I would wear in RL as well. The skin was the gorgeous release by Belleza for Fifty Linden Friday and I have found in the past that whilst it is not for sale for $50L, you can sometimes find it for sale in store still so worth a visit if you want to snap it up.

St. Paul speaks of marriage, where man and woman become one flesh, in reference to Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:31-32). The love that Christ has for his Church is represented in the faithful, fruitful, free, and total love between two baptized spouses. The free consent of the couple in the presence of the Church's minister and two witnesses binds the couple together until the death of one of the spouses. God seals their union and "what God has joined together no human being must separate" (Matthew 19:3-6). Once the consent exchanged between a baptized man and a baptized woman is consummated, the marriage is absolutely indissoluble. The indissolubility of marriage protects the two purposes of marriage, which are the good of the couple and the generation and education of children.
Would you like to learn how to enrich your marriage?

It's been almost two years since I went on my first long haul vacation to Las Vegas, and I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
That's what the city does to you. It advertises that it is the best place on Earth, and it didn't take me much convincing to believe it. Before I'd even been, I dreamt of going and had pictures and collages all over my walls of clippings from travel brochures (my favourite film is also Casino), and when my aunt, who lives there, invited me to celebrate my 21st Birthday with her, there was no refusal. Despite the fact that I knew she would be waiting for me at the airport when I got there, this was a truly solo experience, as I'd essentially not seen my aunt since I was about 7, so it was like meeting a new person. I flew alone, which was the scariest yet most invigorating experience of my life, and I proved to myself that I could do it. Before Vegas, the idea of flying was unthinkable, I intended to do my travels via cruise and cargo ships, as I vowed never to get on a plane. Long story short, I have an anxiety disorder and an irrational fear of heights and speed, so it wasn't even the crashing element that most people fear about flying that got me. Anyway, that's another story for another time. This is all about what I did when I got there and to share some of the magical and strange moments I had in the wonderful city that is Las Vegas.
Driving the Strip upon arrival
The first thing I do see, the Paris casino, which, I'll mention now, was the highlight of my entire trip. It was as beautiful as I'd have ever imagined, inside and out, and had this gorgeous sweet smell like French perfume. Without a doubt my favourite casino to explore.
On day 2, after a walk around the Strip and to various casinos, we stopped for lunch at Mon Ami Gabi, a French bistro/cafe with outdoor seating over looking the Bellagio Fountain. It was there I enjoyed a glass of red wine for the first time (I haven't looked back since).
We also booked a table for the following day at the Eiffel Tower restaurant, seeing as my aunt could tell how much I loved being in Paris. And again, the food was incredible. For dessert I had the best creme brûlée of my life.

Dinner at Eiffel Tower restaurant, Paris Casino
Roof-top shots of the various casinos on Las Vegas Strip
I must admit, I did not get to see each and every casino on the Strip, it would have been impossible unless I was at a hotel located there. But that's one of the best parts of my experience, I still have lots more to see and do, and I also got a taste of what actually living in America is like, the glitz and glamour of the Strip aside. We went to Red Rock Canyon, and I honestly thought Clint Eastwood was gonna walk out into the middle of the road, (although I am aware that many Westerns were not actually filmed in the US) it was so naturally beautiful, with landscapes I never thought I'd see in my life. I think a lot of people forget about where Vegas is actually located, and the gorgeous scenery that can be seen beyond the bright lights. Like the Strip itself, it just doesn't look real.
Red Rock Canyon
Some other highlights of my trip…
Flamingo Casino
Fremont Street, Downtown
Enchilada omelette, the BEST omelette I've ever had, The Cracked Egg
Night drive on the Strip (more footage on my video)
The Venetian
The Las Vegas Sign
On my first day at university, my lecturer asked the group if any of us had been to the Eiffel Tower. I shouted out, "no, but I've been to the one in Las Vegas!" That can really sum up what being in Vegas is like – you're in America, in the middle of the desert, but somehow, you're also in France, New York, Ancient Rome, Ancient Egypt, Italy and so on. I don't think anyone could truly tire of the city with that much variation, excitement and culture. The history of the city alone is unique, so by incorporating those of ancient times and global cultures and architecture, you are in a place that is one of a kind, and an experience of a lifetime.
For a review of the best desserts I had in Las Vegas, please check my other post, and below is a video diary of my trip which has SO much more amazing footage (I think I spent more time capturing videos than I did taking pictures). Please leave a comment telling me about your time in Vegas, or if you have any questions about a future trip you're planning, I'd be glad to help in any way I can.

This study — in its focus on Kingdom values — challenges us to trust in God's provision while living into the humility and love that Jesus models. In addition, each week we'll consider how members of the early church understood God's compassion and what it meant to be Jesus' disciples. May our minds and our hearts long for the righteousness only Jesus' Spirit can bring, open to deeper understanding and fiercely committed to following our Guide no matter the cost.

- 1oos chart
- Unifix – enough to cover nearly every number (98 or so)
- cards with 1-100
Students start with their 100s chart covered in unifix with only a couple of numbers being showed. Each student takes it in turn to turn over a card. They must then try to take off the correct unifix block. If they get it right, they keep the unifix block. If incorrect they need to place it back.

High blood pressure cannot be cured, but it can be controlled through a combination of lifestyle changes and, in many cases, medicine.
Lifestyle changes are the first form of treatment. Fortunately, they will improve your quality of life, as well as help control your high blood pressure. It may take 3 to 6 months before your healthcare provider sees the full benefit of lifestyle changes on your condition.
Some of these changes may include: weight loss, exercise, cutting down the salt in your diet, quitting smoking, reducing stress, and drinking less alcohol.
Try to lose weight, if you are overweight. It does strain your heart to carry extra weight. Also, as people gain weight, their blood pressure tends to rise. Losing weight can make high blood pressure drop back down. Your healthcare providers can help you pick a diet that's right for you. A low fat, low cholesterol, and low salt diet will usually be recommended along with an exercise program.
Many people think this means you have to exercise hard every day. Not true. A moderate exercise program will help keep your heart and blood vessels in shape. Your healthcare provider can help you with an exercise plan. Even walking at a brisk pace three days a week, for 30 to 60 minutes a day is considered "regular physical activity" by the American Heart Association. Also, you don't have to do it all in one exercise session. You can break it up into ten-minute sessions, or whatever works best for you.
Salt can make your blood vessels and body tissues swell and fill with fluid. This puts an extra strain on your heart. Nutrition labels on food packages will tell you the levels of salt in certain foods, and it will be listed as sodium.
Your doctor will let you know how much is too much. Also, there are a lot of different herbs and spices you can experiment with to flavor your meals, and many restaurants offer low-salt choices. Pre-packaged foods are usually processed with high amounts of sodium. As a good rule of thumb, it's better to buy fresh foods.
Nicotine in cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, and pipe tobacco can make blood vessels narrow and lead to high blood pressure.
Stress may be a major factor in your life, and may be partly causing your health problems by putting extra pressure on your heart and blood vessels, among other things. You may rely on unhealthy habits to ease your stress, like smoking, alcohol, and overeating. All of these things can lead to other health problems. Something as simple as spending a small amount of time relaxing every day, even at work, can help a lot. Make time to do things you enjoy.
Cut down on alcohol, if you drink more than 1-2 drinks a day. A person with high blood pressure can usually drink once in a while. However, your doctor can tell you how much is dangerous. Drinking alcohol may be one of the most common causes of high blood pressure.
Changing your habits is a very hard thing to do, and many people can feel overwhelmed with the changes they're told they need to make, especially when they were not feeling that bad to begin with. Just keep in mind that one healthy choice is better than none, and take it one day at a time.

Resembling an ancient proto-pinball machine crafted eons ago and found centuries later in a Javanese burial chamber, Gamelan Wizard is an eight player pinball game housed in an intricately carved octagon pendopo that incorporates Gamelan instrumentation into its playfield so that as you play it plays. Unlike Lucas Abela's previous musical instrument/pinball hybrids, this new machine is totally acoustic, taking advantage of the naturally loud Gamelan instrumentation resonating within the body of the game. To create GamelanWizard Abela teamed up with two of Yogyakarta's most celebrated musicians, Wukir Suryadi and Rully Shabara, in addition to working with famed Gamelan master Wibowo who, along with his skilled craftspeople, handcrafted the cabinet and forged the Gamelan. By pitting together our two disparate icons, Pinball and Gamelan, we created a unique participatory installation that meshes together our respective cultural identities.
Tactically Abela uses the pinball experience to lure people to play what are in fact instruments disguised as pinball machines. Essentially this is the fundamental motivation behind the work, to create experiential situations that inadvertently place audiences in a performing role. When idle, the machines are typically quiet or droning depending on the effects settings at any given time. Only when the audience engages do the machines come alive aurally, designed for hands-on, up close and personal experiences. By appropriating pinball for these participatory installations, Abela has managed to tap into an affinity people have with these much-loved amusements. Once at the controls, audiences seem to possess an innate understanding of the language of the game, the tactile format containing a certain level of intuitiveness that provides audiences with a palpability that sparks instant immediacy.
Lucas Abela (AU) is a free-noise musician & participatory sound installation artist whose practice evolved from within the international noise music underground. Best known for vibrating shards of glass with his mouth to create oddly controlled, while strangely musical, cacophonies, performed ecstatically with deft defying techniques.Wukir Suryadi and Rully Shabara
Wukir Suryadi and Rully Shabara (ID) together form Yogyakarta's Senyawa, a unique band that embodies the aural elements of traditional Indonesian music whilst exploring the framework of experimental music practice, pushing the boundaries of both traditions. Their music strikes a perfect balance between their avant-garde influences and cultural heritage to create truly contemporary Indonesian new music. Their sound is comprised of Shabara's deft extended vocal techniques punctuating the frenetic sounds of instrument builder Suryadi's modern-primitive instrumentation.
Conceived by Lucas Abela
Additional development: Wukir Suryadi and Rully Shabara.
Pendopo, Carvings and Gamelan instruments: Wibowo

In the current days, when deploying a proper marketing strategy plays a vital role in the success of a business or product in the market, the role of booklets is immense. A properly designed booklet not only promotes the brands and upholds the corporate image of the company, but shares information about the products with the target customer base in a very effective manner. Looking at the various benefits of booklets in the interest of the business, it is always a good idea to get booklets printed from a reputed company which offers services of booklet printing Melbourne wide, and who would have the right experience and equipment to print high quality booklets for you.
While choosing a company for booklet printing Melbourne market has today, you would obviously opt for the most economical printing services. However, it is important that you also consider a few points apart from the cost. These are discussed in detail below.
Variety should be offered
Needless to say, the printing company should be able to provide you with multiple choices of the printing paper that would be used to print the booklet. The quality of ink that they would be using should be one of the best in the market so that the printing on the booklets turns out to be the most professional one.
The booklet printing company should have the competency to offer both digital as well as offset printing to their customers. While digital printing is what most customers and printers prefer these days, but the era of offset printing has not gone completely; hence the firms should have the provision for offset printing as well.
Uncompromised quality of service irrespective of quantity
Not every customer is a corporate customer who would need thousands of booklets to be printed at once. If your requirement of booklet count is less, your printer should not ignore your needs. At the same time, they should have the infrastructure and printing equipment to handle bulk printing consignments as well.
While talking about printing in bulk, another point needs to be considered. The delivery time taken by the booklet printing Melbourne company should not be very high while handling bulk printing orders. Irrespective of the size of the order, they should have the reputation of not busting timelines.
Graphic designing services should be there
In case you do not have designs for the booklet, the printing company that you choose for your booklet printing task should be able to help you with the graphic designing as well. This way, you would not be required pay extra to professional graphic designers. The graphic designers of the printing company should be trained with latest designing software so that the designs that they make are at par with the market standards.
Most booklet printers use state of the art printing equipment, which enable them to print high quality and elegant looking booklets. What matters the most is whether the printing company is able to live up to the expectations of their customers. Going through the reviews and testimonials about the company would let you know whether you are dealing with one such printing company or not.

So far we've seen copious shots of both Christian Bale's returning Batman suit, as well as what Tom Hardy will be wearing as Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises." But one costume we've seen absolutely nada for has been Anne Hathaway's Catwoman outfit…until now. Click the image below to help us pick out all the nitty gritties of your favorite burglar's catsuit!
Where are the ears!? If this is indeed Hathaway as Catwoman, and not just a look at her sleekly dressed alter ego, Selina Kyle, the suit has omitted the character's signature cat ears. In fact, unless it's just fallen down behind, the suit is also lacking the standard Catwoman cowl.
While there might not be cat ears, the costume does make use of goggles, like most recent depictions of the character. Catwoman goggles it up in both the regular DC comic books as well as in her appearances in video games like "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe".
In the comic books, underneath the goggles and cat-eared cowl, Selina Kyle usually sports short, dark black hair, while on "Batman: The Animated Series," the cat burglar had long blonde hair. In "Dark Knight Rises," though, the character will be depicted with Anne Hathaway's familiar long brown hair.
While some things about her look may have changed, Catwoman's behavior certainly hasn't. Check out that bike – it looks suspiciously similar to Batman's, and we're guessing he didn't just hand over the keys.
Nobody told us, but it's looking like dimples are the new hotness when it comes to superhero costumes. Catwoman's suit boasts the same texture as Henry Cavill's in "Man of Steel" and Andrew Garfield's in "The Amazing Spider-Man."
Do you think Anne Hathaway has the claws to play Catwoman? Vote in our poll and let us know what you think in the comments and on Twitter!

Pressure sensors
A blocked DPF is often down to failed active or passive regenerations due to driving conditions and can also be down to other component failure such as the EGR system. Pressure sensors detect a filter that is beginning to get clogged up when it is about 45% blocked and the vehicle will then attempt an active regeneration to burn off the soot. It needs to be driven at a constant throttle for several minutes to achieve this, if a vehicle only ever doers short, town commutes then this process is never completed. If it gets to 75% blocked the DPF warning light will come on and the vehicle may go into 'limp home' mode - it may be possible to do a forced regeneration using a diagnostic tool such as Blue Print's G-Scan. If the light is ignored, the filter will completely block and will need to be replaced. Blue Print's range of DPFs include 31 part numbers for 44 applications.

Making a physical scale-model of the solar system can really drive home basic ideas about our little corner of space. Below is the Lab Report I have my students prepare before we take a solar system walk.
I first share how we know the sizes of the suna and planets and how we know the distances to them.
Then introduce the ida of scale size, then ask them to write down a couple preconceptions about size and distance.
Then we use an 8″ bowling ball to represent the Sun, and we do the math establishing a scale of 1 inch for every 100,000 miles.
Given the real size of the planets teams of students determine the scale size and make a model using clay. Then we establish the distances and go outside to lay the Sun and planets on the ground to the same scale as their sizes.
Scaling the Solar System
Purpose: To understand the sizes and distances of solar system objects by making a scale model of the solar system based on the Sun as an eight-inch bowling ball.
Prediction: If an 8" bowling ball represents the size of the Sun, what common object would represent the size of the Earth, to scale? (5 pts)
- How far away would that object (a. above)have to be from the bowling ball to represent the correct distance from the Earth to the Sun, to scale?? (5 pts)
The Sun is about eight hundred thousand miles wide in diameter. The bowling ball is eight inches in diameter.
- Calculate the scale factor. Work it out on a different piece of paper, then neatly copy your work here: (3 pts
- Scale factor (distance) 1 inch = ________________ miles. (2 pts)
The Earth is about eight thousand miles wide. If one inch represents a hundred thousand miles, what size must our model Earth be to scale? Divide the size of the real Earth by the Scale Factor to get the scale size for the model.
- Scale model of the Earth must be about ____________ inches in diameter. 3 pts)
Using the Scale Factor, fill out the Scaled Diameter for each object in Table I. Using the same Scale Factor, fill out the Scaled Distances for each object in Table I. Do not calculate a scaled distance for the Sun; we're going to use it as our starting point.
Also, measure the scaled size and distance of the Moon from the Earth.
Table I : Scaling the Sizes and Distances of Solar System Objects (30 points)
Diameter (miles)
Scaled diameter
|Distance from the Sun (miles)
|Scaled Distance
|Scaled Distance (yards)
|36 million
|67 million
|93 million
The Moon
|249,000 *
|142 million
|485 million
|889 million
|1.8 billion
|2.8 billion
|3.7 billion
* For the Moon, calculate the distance from Earth
Small groups will be assigned one of the Solar System objects in Table I. Your group will make a sphere of the approximate scale and attach your scale model to an index card. (5 points)
Other Group members ________________________________________
Solar system object _________________ c. Approximate size (drawn)
Scaled diameter ____________________
6. Compare your predictions (#1 above) to the observed data in Table 1. How close to true were your predictions? (5 pts)
7. On another paper, describe in detail what you just learned about the scale of the solar system. (1st paragraph: your preconceptions, 2nd: sizes, 3rd: distances, 4th: current understandings) (50 points)
Before writing the essay, we go outside, and put the bowling ball down. I
saw some things about the Sun, then we step of the number of yards to Mercury (10 yards.) We take the model of Mercury that has been taped to a card and stake it down, I say a few things about Mercury, answer questions, then we step of to Venus. We usually get out to "Jupiter" when I can tell the students get the idea.
We return to the classroom and student write an essay.

To commemorate the life of award-winning photojournalist Rick Corrales, CCNMA is honored to administer a scholarship in his name beginning 2016.
The Richard Corrales Memorial Scholarship was created by Corrales' sister, Sandy Corrales Favila. The award will go to a student interested in photojournalism. Students pursuing journalism will also be considered.
Corrales died on Nov. 7, 2005. He was 48.
Among his many achievements, Corrales invented the 360-degree Spinshot camera and was an innovator in 3-D animation software. In 1984, Corrales helped the Los Angeles Times team win the Pulitzer Prize for public service with his photos of Latinos in Southern California. He was also awarded the Pulitzer Prize for photo coverage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
More details about the scholarship will be available in January 2016.
