Entry Rationale
Kiwis have been collecting points and redeeming rewards with Fly Buys for over 21 years. However, with Fly Buys' competitors becoming more aggressive in the market, it was time to take a fresh look at how to market rewards and remain top of mind with members.
The Points Summary DM had traditionally been sent out with a 32 page, cheap to produce guide showcasing 400 rewards. At that time Fly Buys needed to highlight the benefits of the programme, develop a campaign to inform members of the points they'd earned, provide meaningful content and connection to the Fly Buys brand, and inspire members with the range of rewards available to them.
The outcome was a magalogue 'Reward', a glossy, content rich 68-page A4 magazine mailed together with a highly data driven and personalised points summary statement which detailed what points members had earnt and where.
The primary objective of the magalogue was to drive redemptions of rewards from Fly Buys, which in turn, increases swipe rates in the network. Both of these are key to maintaining the ongoing health of the programme.
The delivery of Reward magazine was supported by activity across other owned channels, including 6 x eDMs, an intensive social schedule and the creation of reward.co.nz; a dedicated microsite hosting additional rewards content.
The results were fantastic with Reward driving an 81% uplift against the control in redemptions, representing an incremental 10 million points redeemed. Colmar Brunton research following delivery of Reward showed that 51% of active members thought that the magalogue had changed their impression of Fly Buys for the better.

No Temporary Solution
Ontario's shifting college and university workforce
by Erika Shaker and Robin Shaban
February 8, 2018
While post-secondary institutions are places of learning, they also employ thousands of people across a broad spectrum of job classifications. This report explores the extent to which workers in Canada's post-secondary institutions are experiencing precarity. More precisely, it asks whether employment on university and college campuses in Ontario is becoming more precarious, for whom and for what reasons.
This report combines quantitative analysis of Labour Force Survey (LFS) data with qualitative accounts of the lived experience of precarity from post-secondary employees. Overall, the LFS data analysis suggests that 53% of post-secondary education workers in Ontario are, to some extent, precariously employed. Specifically, the report identifies a rise in work categories that are more precarious (e.g., research assistants and teaching assistants) alongside a decline in others that have traditionally been less precarious (e.g., librarians).

I watched this Ted talk some time ago about a Saudi woman who dared to drive.and had gone to jail to fighting for her right to be in the driver's seat. She was asked by a friend when she thought women would be allowed to drive.
Her response had been simply
Only when we stop asking when and take action to make it now.
Manal al-Sharif
I was shown this picture yesterday which gave me hope. It was Faisal BaDughaish teaching his wife to drive with a broad grin on his face.

5 Essential Factors to Consider In Selecting a Wedding Photographer in Kent
Most people want their weddings to be perfect. We always have a vision which we want to fit everything that happens on that day. Right from those in charge of catering and the band performing, we want things to flow seamlessly, and even the weather to be favorable. And then there is the photo man to capture it all and save it for future memories. For those who normally keen on details, finding the right photographer can be quite frustrating. If you live out in Kent or have just recently moved to the place, you will have to look into a number of factors before settling on a photographer for your wedding. Here are the things to have in mind.
Amount of Fees Charged
This is always the single most important factor to consider. There are numerous ranges of prices to choose from for a wedding photographer, depending on your budget. Professional photographers sometimes cost a fortune. You should, therefore, think carefully as to whether you can afford the photographer or not.
The photography field usually has many photographers; some professional while the others are just amateurs. Its unfortunate that the government cannot guarantee professionalism since there are no such legal requirements. That's why you need to shop around first before making your choice. Doing an online background check to establish the photographers level of skill is always the best step to take. You can also obtain valuable Intel on the reliability of a photo man from friends and colleagues at work.
Your Likings
Even though a professional may recommend some good settings and venues for the photo-shoot, you ultimately hold the decision as to how it will be done. This calls for a clear communication of your likes and dislikes so that the photographer can determine how to accommodate them in the photo session.
Traveling Logistics
The photographer you choose should be residing as near the wedding venue as possible. This is to ensure that they arrive at the venue early enough to set up their equipment before the event begins. There may also be need to assess the venue beforehand for lighting setting and you don't want being inconvenienced by a photographer stuck in traffic somewhere afar off.
Additional Services
Comprehensive coverage with more than two cameras, discounts as well as pre-wedding shoots are some of the extra services a photographer can offer. If you can get them to offer you as many of these services within your budget, then you certainly will be better off.
It can therefore be concluded that selecting the perfect wedding photographer needs skill, patience and effort. This is what you need to make your partner happy by getting your wedding day to run smoothly.

Build a Solar Cell in a Microwave
Wednesday, May 8, 2013 @ 03:05 PM gHale
An old microwave oven was able to produce a nanocrystal semiconductor rapidly using cheap, abundant and less toxic metals than other semiconductors. This is just one more step toward creating more efficient photovoltaic solar cells and LED lights, biological sensors and systems to convert waste heat to electricity.
Using microwaves "is a fast way to make these particles that have a broad range of applications," said Michael Free, an University of Utah professor of metallurgical engineering. "We hope in the next five years there will be some commercial products from this, and we are continuing to pursue applications and improvements. It's a good market, but we don't know exactly where the market will go."
Graphene Could Harness Sun's Energy
Greater Solar Cell Efficiency
Snail Teeth can Boost Solar Cells
Bent Willow Means More Biofuel
In the study, Free and the study's lead author, Prashant Sarswat, a research associate in metallurgical engineering,determined the optimum time required to produce the most uniform crystals of the microwaved photovoltaic semiconductor – known as CZTS for copper, zinc, tin and sulfur – is 18 minutes in the microwave oven. They also confirmed the material indeed was CZTS by using a variety of tests, such as X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and ultraviolet spectroscopy. They also built a small photovoltaic solar cell to confirm the material works and demonstrate that smaller nanocrystals display "quantum confinement," a property that makes them versatile for different uses.
"It's not an easy material to make," Sarswat said. "There are a lot of unwanted compounds that can form if it is not made properly."
Sarswat said compared with photovoltaic semiconductors that use highly toxic cadmium and arsenic, ingredients for CZTS photovoltaic material "are more environmentally friendly."
"The materials used for this are much lower cost and much more available than alternatives," such as indium and gallium often used in semiconductors, Free said.
Swiss researchers first invented CZTS in 1967 using another method. Other researchers discovered in 1998 that it could serve as a photovoltaic material. But until recently, "people haven't explored this material very much," Sarswat said. CZTS belongs to a family of materials named quaternary chalcogenides.
Without knowing it at first, Free and Sarswat have been in a race to develop the microwave method of making CZTS with a group of researchers at Oregon State University. Sarswat synthesized the material using microwaves in 2011. Free and Sarswat filed an invention disclosure on their method in January 2012, but the other group beat them into print with a study published in August 2012.
The method developed by Sarswat and Free has some unique features, including different "precursor" chemicals (acetate salts instead of chloride salts) used to start the process of making CZTS and a different solvent (oleylamine instead of ethylene glycol).
Sarswat said organic compounds end up synthesized with microwaves, and Free said microwaves sometimes end up used in metallurgy to extract metal from ore for analysis. They say using microwaves to process materials is fast and often suppresses unwanted chemical "side reactions," resulting in higher yields of the desired materials.
Researchers previously made CZTS using various methods, but many took multiple steps and four to five hours to make a thin film of the material, known technically as a "p-type photovoltaic absorber," which is the active layer in a solar cell to convert sunlight to electricity.
A more recent method known as "colloidal synthesis" – preparing the crystals as a suspension or "colloid" in a liquid by heating the ingredients in a large flask – reduced preparation time to 45 to 90 minutes.
Sarswat decided to try microwave production of CZTS when the University of Utah's Department of Metallurgical Engineering decided to get a new microwave oven for the kitchen where students heat up their lunches and make coffee.
"Our department secretary had a microwave to throw away," so Sarswat said he took it to replace one that had just burned up during other lab experiments.
"The bottom line is you can use just a simple microwave oven to make the CZTS semiconductor," Free said, adding, "Don't do it at home. You have to be cautious when using these kinds of materials in a microwave."
By controlling how long they microwave the ingredients, the metallurgists could control the size of the resulting nanocrystals and thus their possible uses. Formation of CZTS began after 8 minutes in the microwave, but the researchers found they came out most uniform in size after 18 minutes.
To make CZTS, salts of the metals dissolve in a solvent and then heat up in a microwave, forming an "ink" containing suspended CZTS nanocrystals. The "ink" then can then end up painted onto a surface and combine with other coatings to form a solar cell.
"This [CZTS] is the filling that is the heart of solar cells," Free said. "It is the absorber layer – the active layer – of the solar cell."
He said the easy-to-make CZTS photovoltaic semiconductor works in more efficient, multilayer solar cell designs.
In addition, Sarswat and Free said CZTS has other potential uses:
• Theromoelectric conversion of heat to electricity, including waste heat from automobiles and industry, or perhaps heat from the ground to power a military camp.
• Biosensors, made by painting the nanocrystal "ink" onto a surface and sensitizing the crystals with an organic molecule that allows them to detect small electrical currents created when an enzyme in the body becomes active. These biosensors may play a role in future tests to help diagnose cardiovascular disease, diabetes and kidney disease, Sarswat said.
• As circuit components in a wide variety of electronics, include devices to convert heat to electricity.
• To use solar energy to break down water to produce hydrogen for fuel cells.
The microwave method produced crystals ranging from 3 nanometers to 20 nanometers in size, and the optimum sought by researchers was between 7 nanometers and 12 nanometers, depending on the intended use for the crystals. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, or roughly one 25-millionth of an inch.
Larger crystals of CZTS make a good photovoltaic material. Sarswat said the study also demonstrated that smaller crystals of CZTS – those smaller than 5 nanometers – have "quantum confinement," a change in a material's optical and electronic properties when the crystals become sufficiently small.

In order to build a clinical information system (CIS) that improves patient care, it's important that clinicians, clinical and operational experts, leaders and patients continue to contribute to the Connect Care Clinical System Design (CSD) process by developing clinical content – the CIS documentation, decision and inquiry support tools.
The Connect Care Executive Committee discussed and was supportive of a CSD mapping guide, which outlines how various CSD tasks are allocated to specific oversight groups. Core CSD affects most clinical areas and is largely handled by clinical documentation and clinical decision support committees. Specialty CSD addresses more specific needs and is mostly handled by Connect Care Area Councils. The mapping guide will evolve as our experience with CSD decisions grows.
The specialty mapping guide, and a wealth of other design information, can be found in the CSD Handbook, available in all committees and councils collaborative workspaces.

Cockroaches can eat nearly anything making them accurate survivors. They may be brought into your house from numerous locations including a storage facility, the supermarket, work, or someone is dwelling to call a couple. These pests can hide during daytime hours making their detection and reproduction permitted to begin and are nocturnal.
A quicker reaction can lead to a simpler removal of roaches when you find an outbreak of cockroaches. Anything from bug bombs to a lot and sprays of other insect killers will kill them. The inquiry is: Is killing them on contact how you can get rid of the public? The reply is only – no.
You kill merely that which you see should you kill cockroaches observable to you personally when you open a drawer or cupboard. Little does the novice understand, you will find tons more you cannot see. The amount of unknown is debatable but the fact is tons of family members are hiding in others cupboards the walls as well as the numerous other areas a cockroach can match.
Consider putting cockroach bait around the location you see an infestation of roaches as opposed to killing them. Why? He will bring it back to the nest to feed the remainder of the tribe when you put a lure along with the cockroach eats it. I prefer to use lure sold in tubes and also you just put a dab of lure all around the region that is contaminated. Days or hours later with respect to the sort of lure and eating the roach, together with all of the roaches, which were fed, will expire. Do not forget the nest is away in a location that is concealed and potential even not in range of bug bombs or a bug spray.
View lure eating and keep the lure rich. Do not spray on any insecticide on or close to the lure the roaches don't eat the lure. Hoover their feces as well as the dead roaches having a HEPA vacuum. Everything clean including the behind, floor and ledges appliances.
Roach Bait Advantages
- Decreased exposure to substances that are dangerous. Boric acid lure just wants one program and is low in toxicity.
- Teases have almost no smell after use. You will not find it is there.
- It is simple to see not or if the lure is left. So you do not actually understand what is going on, other uses, like insecticide, you cannot find the merchandise.
- Lure is more suitable. You do not have to move around empty shelves or food products.
- One program will continue for as much as a complete year. Other uses just last to get weeks or a number of months.
- expensive since you just want one program.
- Exceptional control. Powder and fumigation get. Lure could be put in one area that is special also it surely will remain there.
Where To Employ Lure
Water and food sources would be the best spots for use. Pantry, appliances, toilets, bathtubs, sinks, cupboards, and drawers are great areas to begin. The main spot to employ the product is under sinks. A tiny dab should really be put under each sink in your home.
The tools needed are just a spatula or caulk gun. Laughs at, before use, need a little stirring like paint. Stir before the consistency is comparable to off-white toothpaste. Subsequently, apply to places that are infested.

Thomas Piper is also the quotidian identity which Thomas Lynn and Polly initially invent for Tan Coul -- an ironmonger in Stow-on-the-Water who is unaware of his heroic nature until Hero arrives and tells him. He is quite strong from carrying around hardware supplies all day. Edna, his bullying sister, refuses to let him spend money on books; he had to give up tobacco in order to buy them, and then had to hide them in different covers, since Edna does not approve of pleasure reading. He resembles Don Quixote, since he is tall and thin, with an active, untrained imagination. His first heroic deed is driving a giant out of the local supermarket; he accomplishes this at Hero's urging, despite his own insistence that there are no such things as giants.

Gourmet produce also abound, with locally made cheeses, condiments, ice-creams, chocolates, and sweets available across the hinterland.
Out and About
Whether for a special occasion, a restful few days away, or an afternoon drive along a pristine lush mountain range, getting out and about in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, is a great way to enjoy this picturesque area all year round.
In summer the hinterland is blessed with cooling breezes, cascading waterfalls, refreshing rockpools, and shady rainforests … perfect for that invigorating bushwalk.

Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, Gardner's Falls, Lake Baroon Lookout, Kondalilla Falls, and Mapleton Falls are some of the popular walking trails between Maleny and Mapleton, all providing something different. If you bring your swimmers; a camera; a picnic lunch; and copious amounts of water, you'll be well prepared to enjoy your day, however it evolves.
For those who enjoy a glass of wine, the hinterland has a couple of wineries, where one can enjoy a relaxing afternoon.
Flame Hill Winery, Western Avenue, MontvilleFlame Hill Montville Vineyard and Kurrajong Lyra Vineyard conspire to provide a spectrum of estate grown wines in their Cellar Door and dining facilities.
The romance of wine is the ardent, emotional attachment between the land, the season, and the people, that despite common adversity, the passion and dedication collaborate positively, much like the romance of life. The variable seasons keep the romance challenging but exciting … sound familiar?
Each grape variety, like each one of us, possesses its own individual romance – some more – some less – some feminine – some masculine – so ladies, take care it is someone you love if you stroll down under the big Camphor Laurel tree at Flame Hill – the Verdelho wines are all around you whispering "Go on and kiss him" – you won't be able to resist the romance of the wine.
The Flame Hill Deck has become synonomous with fine dining, strictly boutique, seating some fifty patrons and driven by an ambitious kitchen team – the epicurean options vary – the quality persists.
Maleny Mountain WinesIf you enjoy a drop of wine, why not take the time to visit Maleny Mountain Winery. They have a large range of wines in their unique 8 metre high wine barrel showroom. Whatever your flavour, they have a wine to suit your palate. Their range includes reds, whites, fortified and dessert wines. There are many sweet and dry choices available for you to taste and take home with you. You are guaranteed to find a wine that you'll enjoy.
Maleny Mountain Winery is open 7 days a week, from 10:00am to 5.00pm for wine tastings and sales. They also offer cheese and antipasto platters, along with coffee and desserts.
Located on the way into Maleny the barrel cellar door is hard to miss. There's also a range of local artworks and products to enjoy.

It's not enough for Laura Mullen that influential volleyball coach Rick Butler has been banned for life by USA Volleyball, permanently disqualified by the Amateur Athletic Union and indefinitely suspended from participating in any Junior Volleyball Association-hosted or insured events due to multiple women accusing Butler of years-long sexual abuse.
According to Mullen's attorney, Jay Edelson (who is representing Mullen pro bono), the main objective behind Mullen's explosive class-action civil lawsuit filed against Butler, his wife Cheryl, and the Sports Performance Volleyball Club and Great Lakes Center Butler started more than three decades ago, is to prevent the Butlers from ever interacting with minors.
"If we can prove our allegations — and we feel good about that — the objective is, we think, that Butler and his wife should not be around kids," Edelson told the Daily News. "This is not about money."
Mullen, the lead plaintiff and whose daughter played for Butler at Sports Performance, filed the complaint in Illinois federal court Tuesday. Mullen accuses Butler and his wife of "deceiving parents and youth volleyball players to become members of the Sports Performance Volleyball Club based upon false information and material omissions of fact regarding Defendant Butler's sexual abuse of underage girls."
Butler, 63, has never faced criminal charges, even though abuse allegations were first levied against him more than 20 years ago. Christine Tuzi, Sarah Powers-Barnhard and Julie Romias all played volleyball for Butler in the 1980s when they were teenagers. All three women testified before a USA Volleyball ethics panel in 1995 that Butler sexually abused them when they were minors.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (IDCFS) also investigated Butler and determined in 1995 that "credible evidence supported an indicated report of abuse." USA Volleyball banned Butler for life in 1995, but then reinstated him in an administrative capacity only five years later, in 2000. The second time Butler was banned for life from USA Volleyball occurred in January.
Tuzi told the Daily News in a 2016 interview that Butler impregnated her when she was a teenager, and then told her to "get rid of it." The details of Tuzi's abortion and the alleged physical and mental abuse she suffered at the hands of Butler are detailed in Mullen's lawsuit, as is testimony from that '95 USAV ethics hearing and details of the IDCFS investigation of Butler.
"Butler has sexually abused, as well as physically and emotionally abused, no fewer than six - and on information belief, numerous more - underage girls in his care," the lawsuit filed by Mullen says.
The lawsuit provides graphic evidence of Butler's alleged abuse and accuses him of rape several times. The suit describes one instance where Powers-Barnhard, then 16-years-old, was "summoned" to Butler's house to "discuss a problem on the team."
"After they had some food, Butler grabbed her hand and walked her to the bedroom, undressed her, and proceeded to rape her as she lay motionless in a terrified state," the suit says, referring to the alleged incident involving Powers-Barnhard.
Butler did not return a call or email for comment to The News. Attorney Terry Ekl, who represented Butler in a separate legal matter, told The News that he is not Butler's lawyer for the federal class-action suit. "Butler is in the process of hiring an attorney to represent him," said Ekl.
Edelson said the next important stage in the class-action suit will be deposing Butler and his wife, a process Edelson said will happen soon.
"Rick has made a lot of statements, very general denials. He's argued he's wanted his day in court. We want him under oath," said Edelson. "We want to see what he says. We are very eager to get that done as quickly as possible, and the same thing with his wife. That will be a key marker in the case."
Although the JVA issued its indefinite suspension of Butler over the weekend of Feb. 10-11, the Mullen lawsuit claims that Butler "attended a JVA sanctioned tournament at the Great Lakes Center" in the weeks after the JVA ruling.
"(Butler) was viewed standing by the court that one of his teams was playing on and was in direct physical proximity to multiple young female volleyball players. On information and belief, Butler continues to coach youth players," the lawsuit says.
Jenny Hahn, JVA's executive director, responded to the claims in the lawsuit with the following statement to The News: "The JVA Board voted last month to indefinitely suspend Rick Butler from participating in all JVA-hosted and JVA-insured events. That suspension remains in place. Our understanding is that while Mr. Butler did attend the event, which was held at a facility he owns, he did not coach. We take this matter very seriously and expect all facilities that host a JVA event or use JVA insurance to abide by this suspension. It should be noted that JVA is not a sanctioning organization and follows the lead of the AAU on sanctions. Nonetheless, we expect our ban of Mr. Butler to be enforced. Groups and facilities that fail to abide by this decision run the risk of losing their JVA insurance and JVA's position as a hosting organization."
The suit accuses the Butlers of violating the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, which mirrors a lawsuit Powers-Barnhard filed in Florida state court against the AAU in 2016. That case is still open.
Edelson said that the #MeToo movement within the last six months has created an environment where abuse victims are more comfortable coming forward to tell their stories. He added that he thinks more victims of Butler may come forward in the future. Edelson also said the groundswell of voices against sexual abuse and sexual assault may have put more pressure on organizations like USA Volleyball to act.
"Our view is that a large number of adults in organizations have supported Butler and his club, either implicitly or explicitly," said Edelson. "He has so much power in the volleyball community. People didn't want to go against him. The reasons for the change — we're in a different era than we were even last year. A lot of adults are realizing, if you know of things, or have suspicions of things, you have to take action. I think that's why there was so much pressure on these three organizations to finally step up and do the right thing."

Heroes Remembered
Lord Bladepoint
When i reminisce about the past..there is always one noble Lord that reminds me of the "good-old" days. Lord Bladepoint, a ranger, and a friend, was one of the few "nobles" around when i began. He taught me about the realm, about friendship, and about wisdom. There was nothing he couldn't do or he didn't know. To Bladepoint, thanks for the wisdom, I will always remember you.
- Lord Merdrith
How can i ever forget a man who helped bail Jypta out of jail. Jypta was in the catacombs spelling up the young because of the "bullies" and poachers, when she accidentally casted the wrong spell and imploded the area, injuring many and killing 4. She felt terribly for that happening and worse after she found out her fine was <cringe> 2mil and had only an hour to come up with the coins or lose everything she owned. My family helped me out alot, giving me every coin they had but i was still short 500k. My brother Mordlin and Lord Bladepoint saved my butt. I thank him til this day for being so kind to a Lady he hardly knew at the time. I am greatful to Lord Bladepoint and my family for being there when i needed them.
Lord Bladepoint, where ever you are, I curtsy to you in respect and hope someday you return to the lands to teach other young ones the caring and respect you showed me.
- Jypta
Lord Baser
Lord Baser Strongfist the Dark Elf.
He appears to be in his 100's, has short, braided black hair, green eyes, and tanned skin. He has a tattooed symbol of Onar on his forearm. He is holding a shimmering vultite longsword in his right hand and a rolaren shield etched with the image of hordes of undead being swept into a cyclone, their souls screaming in anguish in his left hand. He is wearing a fiery royal diadem, a miniature dagger suspended from a sparkling sea glass earring, a glass amulet, a ruby amulet, a multicolor tiny disk, a black onyx Onar talisman, a dark elegant silk tunic embroidered on the chest with the crest of House Faendryl and belted at the waist with a nobleman's sash, a crystal wedding band set with a diamond moon entwined in iceblossom vines, a dark enruned band, an intricately braided silver bracelet set with green garnets, a tiny crystal skull, a black sack, a tightly-woven mithril alloy belt, some dark silk pants embossed down the sides with intricate Faendryl symbols, some polished dark leather boots with the hilt of a dagger barely visible, and a rune-covered Faendryl pack.
Ohh, Baser was always a good friend and a gentleman. I remember when he found love. He was so happy...so tender. They were unseparable, and when they had both died, he begged me to see to her safety first. But that was how he was with everyone...a truly unselfish man, kind to a fault. I'll always smile when I think of him.
Hugs, Galadril
I can not think of a nicer, less agressive person then Baser. His memory is still one of the most respected ever to walk the lands.
~ Robin/Titaniia
Baser is one of THEE nicest guys i've met. He is gentle and kind, strongwilled, honest, handsome, witty and unselfish. I cherish the chats we had and how one time he was so concerned for Jypta, comforting her when her heart was broken and she in turn comforted him when he was down. He was such a gentleman and was always the first to ask you if you needed assisstance.aYou couldn't help but smile when he spoke, his words always so soothing & uplifting.
Bless you Baser, for being you. May happiness follow you everywhere you travel.
~ Laura (player of Jypsie/Jypta)
Lord Hailiya
These two men (Dionket & Hailiya) have always been total sweethearts to Bronnwyn. Ive not seen them in a while but when I do see them they are so kind and pleasant to run into. I do miss being around them as often as I used to be but our hunting grounds and such prevent us from that.
They are wonderful people and I only wish the lands had more of them.
I'd like all those who knew Hailiya Windermyer to give him a small place in your hearts, he joined us all in the lands for 3 years. Over the course of those years he became a close and dear friend of mine. Much to my suprise he retired on August 10th, 1998. He didn't tell many people that he was doing so, but rather told myself and mutual friend of our's, Lord Jamousii Thunderblow that he would be retiring. He wanted us to pass on the word that he enjoyed his stay for as long as it was bearable, but it was his time to leave. He left as a hero, wandering off to a room, rather then losing his soul to the demonic.
Hailiya.. Jypsie very much admired this wonderful soul. He risked life and limb without complaint to help fallen hunters and took the time to offer his friendship and wisdom to the young. To see this man everyday with his friendly greeting and warm smile, was an inspiration to us all. He would give the armor off his back to help anyone in need. When a hunter befell a tragic demise in an area that was hard to get to, Hailiya would be there in a heartbeat. When a friend needed a shoulder to cry on, Hailiya would be there. When a young hunter was searching for knowledge or simply needing a hunting partner, Hailiya was there. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and enjoyed his life in Elanthia to the fullest.
If ever a true Hero and Legend roamed these lands, it is Hailiya Windermyer.
Gentleman Lord Dionket
Only thing about Dionket I can recall is that Featherhair spent time with him and eventually married him... after she stopped hanging out and doing rescues with Virtis. :P I think they were on Teras and Virtis preferred to stay in the Landing.
He seemed like a decent person when Virtis met him later on.
~Virtis' player
Dionket has always been a dear. He's always been there to lend a hand ifn ones been needed.
Yep, I remember him in the tree probably four or more years ago when I was there
He was popping a box and I asked him where it came from and he said zombies. I asked where those were and he pointed to the south. He then popped some more and pulled nice gems out before my eyes ;) I always remembered the hood he had with the dragon's flame. As far as I know he's still around, thankfully, cause I saw him a few weeks ago. And who can forget the:
Dionket smiles gently.
Hmmm...cute story, and this just happened yesterday (dated Spring 2000)
Cryheart, Tordane, Dionket and I were sitting outside of House Pheonix.
Newbie just arrived. Newbie offers a sealed message to Dionket.
Dionket accepts a sealed message
Dionket gets a white opal out of his pocket and hands it to newbie.
Dionket exclaims 'Excellent job! Your service is not to go unrewarded!"
Avantos stares at Dionket and falls to the ground laughing hysterically.
Dionket exclaims "My first message!"
We couldnt stop laughing. We then pointed out the doorkeeper to the newbie and Dionket refused to take the opal back.
Jypta remembers Dionket...Thoryn introduced her to him once in the treehouse. Such a perfect gentleman he is. A gentle aura about him and that warm friendly smile won her over at first meeting. She has never felt more comfortable with anyone as she does when she is around him.
Jypsie also has had the pleasure of interacting with this gentle soul. He'd always politely ask her to take a look at his wounds and showing her where he hurt the most. After she mended his wounds he would kiss her hand while trying to sneak a few coins or exquisite gem in her pocket... Silly Man.
~Jypta & Jypsie
Out of all the people in Elanthia I have perhaps have had the most respect for Dionket, most likely because he is a father figure of my character Briars. He knows I appreciate him and his role-playing always, he's had a great impact on me and I assume many others. Enough of one where it'd be impossible to forget him.
- Briars
Lord Groggle
Groggle was one of the best roleplayers I ever had the pleasure of being around. There was not one time I can remember that he went out of character, not even in whispers. On a side note, he was only around 15 years old when he came into the lands. His imagination and creativy is extraordinary. Thanks for bringing thoughts of him back again.
If you ever get a chance to meet a Dwarf name Brutii, he's another individual that exemplifies roleplaying.
The rogue behind Baser
I have no idea how many people remember him actually and he does no longer play Gemstone but for some reason when I do hear any mention of the word role-playing I always have to include Groggle. That is all.
- The Player of Briars
Ah, Groggle, He is one among the few roleplayers i have enoyed watching and interacting with in my years here. Jypsie didn't get to interact with him as much as she would have liked to but she is honored to have the chance did have. I'm sorry he has departed the lands and i hope someday he returns in yet another one of his outstanding roles.
~Jypsie and her player
Note: Rumor has it that Hailiya was around a few months after he retired, but soon departed again. He eventually returned in yet another outstanding role as Lord Driikn. Welcome home, friend!
As for Dionket, Well, Luckily this handsome gentleman still walks among us. If you ever you bump into a handsomely ol' Wizard who gently smiles at you, don't be surprised to automatically be smiling back...it's catchy ;)

VIROQUA — Craig and Connie Minowa of the band Cloud Cult had been living in Minneapolis and were looking to settle in a small, progressive town with a thriving food culture — a place to get "back to the land."
They found Viroqua.
This small town about two hours northwest of Madison is helping put Wisconsin on the culinary map.
Organic Valley, a farming cooperative with 500 farmer members, started in 1988 in nearby La Farge and has been a foundation for the food landscape in Viroqua, which now boasts a James Beard-nominated restaurant to attract food tourists.
One big livability indicator for the Minowas was the quality of a town's food co-op, and when they toured Viroqua, they found a huge, thriving grocery cooperative. That sealed the deal.
Elevated above Main Street, the Viroqua Food Co-op, established in 1995, is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. It has 4,400 square feet of retail space and is undergoing an expansion that will double its size, said Charlene Elderkin, the co-op's marketing manager.
In a town of 4,300, the co-op has more than 3,500 members.
"The people here, they are educated about food. They want to have that connection with their local farms and with clean food," she said.
More than 30 percent of the co-op's sales are local products, defined as coming from within 100 miles. And that's not just produce. It's also meat and cheese, and items like Wisco Pop natural soda and Kickapoo Coffee, two Viroqua companies with fans in Madison and beyond.
Sustainable lifestyle hub
Jamie Lamonde worked for Organic Valley for 11 years before leaving to stay home with her children. She's now editor and publisher of Edible Madison, a 7-year-old magazine focused on food and agriculture in Southern Wisconsin.
While Lamonde has a P.O. box in Viroqua, she lives about 30 minutes away in La Farge. The magazine's writers and photographers live in Madison and all over Southwest Wisconsin.
She picked the name Edible Madison because of Madison's foodie credentials, but admits that Viroqua's food culture is "pretty amazing."
"It's just really been a pioneer in organic, sustainable farming practices" and Vernon County and Viroqua are hubs of the lifestyle that goes with it, Lamonde said.
That ethic is reflected in everything from the area's alternative schooling options, to its outdoor recreation, its musical life and its farm-to-table local food focus.
And it's drawing like-minded residents, such as the Minowas, from bigger cities.
"There are so many transplants from all over the place," Craig Minowa said.
A big honor
These days, Driftless Cafe is the heart and soul of Viroqua, tucked just off Main Street at 118 Court St. It's busy day and night, particularly since its chef and co-owner, Luke Zahm, became a 2017 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Midwest.
That recognition, considered one of the highest honors in the restaurant business, has brought in a lot of customers from outside Viroqua, and Zahm is happy to expose them to the town that he loves.
Zahm, 37, grew up in La Farge, and, his wife, Ruthie, 38, in Viroqua. After many years living in Madison, they moved back to Vernon County to raise their three children and have operated Driftless since 2013.
Ruthie Zahm said before they moved back, they would hit a certain point on their drive to Vernon County, and Luke would feel the call of home.
"We love camping as a family, we love canoeing. Although you can do that in Madison … it just wasn't the same home feeling," she said. "Paired with knowing that he could get really great ingredients here and always wanting to kind of come back home, was quite a big push."
Beyond beer and cheese
Luke Zahm, who worked in the kitchen at Epic Systems in Verona and at Lombardino's in Madison, said he has no idea how the Beard judges knew about him, but guesses it could have come through the advocacy work he's been part of in Washington, D.C.
He's traveled to the nation's capital to lobby for truthful labeling, specifically in regard to GMO products.
Zahm likes to take the opportunity to tell the story of what's happening in Vernon County, which he says with 220 certified organic farms has the highest concentration of organic farms of any county in Wisconsin. Zahm gives that statistic not just as a restaurant owner who uses organic ingredients, but also as president of Viroqua's Chamber of Commerce.
"That is a big, big driver economically," Zahm said about the farming community.
He's pleased that organic farmers from the area are starting to branch out.
When recruiting other chefs at the Culinary Institute of America in 2011 in Hyde Park, New York, he cooked at the campus in the evening. His team was sandwiched between Bobby Flay's people and Mario Batali's people and he said he was overwhelmed by the perceptions of Wisconsin that he heard.
They really only knew about beer, cheese and the Packers, he said. In trying to establish credibility and luring soon-to-be graduates to the Midwest to cook, Zahm kept emphasizing that this is the area where food comes from. "This is the bread basket."
The CIA's star students prepared a meal one night and on a list of their sources were four ingredients from the Driftless Region.
"And that for me was the light bulb," Zahm said.
It's called the "Driftless" Region because of its unglaciated geography. The area doesn't lend itself to industrial farming and one of the reasons Organic Valley started was to find a way for small family farms to make it and not have to "go big or go broke," said the co-op's Elderkin. The landscape really lent itself to smaller farms, she said.
Drawing in food tourists
Joe Rogan-Nordstorm runs Cowboy David's Coffee & Bake Shoppe on Main Street in Viroqua, selling vegan, low-sugar and gluten-free bakery items.
The bakery developed out of the popular La Farge lodging property Rogan-Nordstorm co-owns with his husband, David, where they leave one of their signature double chocolate chip-walnut cookies for each guest.
Joe Rogan-Nordstorm said food tourists will drive from Illinois or from Madison on a Saturday to get two dozen of their cookies or their famous cashew, ginger carrot cakes, shop at the town's farmers' market and then eat at Driftless Cafe.
As Driftless' Zahm spoke with a reporter one Thursday in early June, Viroqua's most famous son, Garbage co-founder and music producer Butch Vig, walked into the artfully designed, two-room cafe with his brother.
And Vig, who lives in Los Angeles, was happy to discuss the amazing food culture that is shaping his hometown.
"Viroqua has had a complete 180-degree transformation in the last 20 years," he said. "When I left here in the '70s and went to UW, it was a dying community and people were moving out."
The Vig brothers were in Viroqua that day to visit their father, who is 94. Every time they come to town, they eat at Driftless Cafe for lunch and dinner, Butch Vig said.
Back in the early '90s, Vig said his father told him, "the hippies are saving Viroqua."
"In a way, he's right because it's a little left-wing counterculture that's come in here. It's not what people consider traditional farming. They've transformed this area, and now to have a restaurant like Driftless here is incredible."
A completely different town
A self-described "foodie" who loves dining out, Vig said he's been lucky to travel with his band Garbage and eat in some of the world's best restaurants.
And he's noticed that when he eats out in Madison, or visits the Dane County Farmers' Market, that a portion of the produce is coming from Viroqua.
Sarah Elliott, market manager for the Dane County Farmers' Market, said the market has five members from Vernon County, three of which are from Viroqua proper. Western Wisconsin as a whole is well represented at the market, with a total of 23 vendors from a group made up of Vernon, Crawford, Richland, La Crosse and Monroe counties.
Eddy Nix, who owns Driftless Books and Music in Viroqua, likens his "slow media" business — getting away from technology and smartphone addiction — to the slow food movement.
The food scene is part of what brings people to Viroqua, but good food can't exist without the people who buy it, Nix said. He credits Zahm with pulling off something amazing.
"It wouldn't have worked in most other towns. And if it wasn't for (Driftless Cafe), it would be a completely different town."
The food culture in Viroqua is far different now than when he was a kid in La Farge High School's graduating class of 1998, Zahm said.
"This was another dying farming community in southwestern Wisconsin. Then it wasn't."

Ok, so I was all ready today to post on blueberry picking, and kitties in the sun and I sat down to get started and BAM! There was a very loud noise and everything was shaking and heaving upwards. It was completely terrifying. Probably only lasted 5 or 6 seconds but I have never been so scared in my life. Pictures fell off the walls, shoes went flying, shelves and books fell and it was super loud.
My first earthquake happened today.
I checked on the neighbors when I was calmer and could stop shaking. They're all fine. Shaken, but fine. Apparently this one was more than some had seen, less than others were accustomed to.
Max hid under the bed. Emily went THROUGH the back door screen and remains under the shed. She tore her collar off in the escape. I've caught sight of her several times, but she's not coming out until she gets good and ready.
I am going to have nightmares about this, I think.
Will post on happier things soon …
** Update later: Emily did finally come out from under the shed in early afternoon. She meowled softly to call me and I came and got her. We snuggled and all was better. Lucky for cats they live in the moment and she'll forget this in no time. **

The number one question people want to know about the NEBOSH General Certificate is, of course, how much does it cost? The answer is – it depends.
The price of the course will be different for each course provider and is largely determined by your chosen learning method and location. Whatever learning method you choose, you'll also need to consider additional costs such travel, extra support, exams and VAT.
Is the NEBOSH General Certificate worth the cost?
Before we jump into costs, it's important you understand exactly what you'll be getting out of the NEBOSH General Certificate so you can make an informed decision as to whether the cost of the course is worth it to you, and your employer. Our delegates tell us that there are 4 main reasons for taking the NEBOSH General Certificate:
- Develop your career opportunities – over 90% of HSE job advertisements ask for the NEBOSH General Certificate as a minimum.
- Increase your health and safety knowledge – the NEBOSH General Certificate will give you an understanding of key issues so you're able to manage health and safety within your role.
- Gain practical skills to use in your job – the practical elements of the course will help you develop the skills such as planning, assessing situations and management report writing.
- Achieve and maintain compliance in your company – a key element of the NEBOSH General Certificate is the HSE legal system and regulations, so you'll be able to make sure your company is meeting recognised standards and adhering to legislation and codes of practice.
NEBOSH General Certificate online prices
Astutis offers the NEBOSH General Certificate online course at £450 (excluding exams & VAT).
The price of the online course with other providers will differ based on the amount of support on offer and the amount of time you have access for. Some course providers may have sneaky additional fees so make sure you check some of the following before you book:
Additional support
Every online course will give you access to course materials, but additional support features such as webinars, assignment feedback, tutor support or revision sessions may come at an additional cost. It's worth asking for a trial or demo of the course so you can get to grips with it, and then ask your provider about any additional features you think you may need.
Exam fees
The NEBOSH General Certificate requires you to sit 2 x exams and a written assignment. Exams are run throughout the year so as an online learner, you have the flexibility to sit your exams at any point, when you feel ready. However this does mean that exam fees aren't usually included in the price of your online course. Astutis offers the NEBOSH General Certificate exams for £250 + VAT, which includes registration fees.
Extension fees
You'll want to check how long you have access to your course for. If you're getting towards the end of your course and you feel you aren't ready to sit your exams yet and want to extend your access, you'll usually be charged an extension fee. Check how much this is before you book so that you don't get any costly surprises.
NEBOSH General Certificate classroom prices
Classroom courses are usually the more expensive learning option. The price of your course will always include tuition for the duration of the course (this can vary between providers but is usually 2 weeks) and course materials, but there are additional costs that you'll need to consider too, such as:
- Lunch and refreshments throughout your course
- Parking costs
- Travel costs
- Accommodation costs
- Exams – most providers will include these within your classroom course price, however it's always worth checking, just in case!

In Search Of A Decent Example Of A College Research Paper
When you are searching for a decent example of a college research paper you have many options at your disposal.
If you are searching for an example of a research paper consider looking in the following locations:
- Start off by turning to your professor. Visit your professor during office hours or speak with them outside of class immediately following the assignment being given out in class. Your professor has likely given this assignment many times before and they have certainly written this type of paper many times before. It is for this reason that you should turn to them first and inquire as to whether they have samples available which you can either take home in the form of a tangible copy or have emailed to you in the form of an electronic copy.
- If they are unable to provide you with what you need or you were simply unable to meet with them because of time constraints there still other options available to you. Even if the assignment is not for your English class, you can look through writing guides or textbooks associated with an English class just to gain a better idea of what is required of you. Broad based writing guides will contain a breakdown of each type of academic assignments you may be required to complete as well as a corresponding previously written text. They will go into comprehensive detail as to each aspect of the final product and what role it serves. This makes for a wonderful learning opportunity.
- One place you can look is the Internet. The Internet is full of services and companies available to write something on your behalf. But if all you're looking for is something that you can use as a tool or template you can still visit these websites and look over their portfolio. In many cases they have to publish a portfolio in order to access clients. This portfolio should contain different examples of different papers. If you search specifically on websites designed to offer research-based content you will find previously written research-based content in their portfolio and this you can use as a learning tool.
- You can also search through academic websites or academic institutional websites for posted content or helpful resources from which you could glean tips or samples. This can prove highly beneficial for any course and any subject on which you are currently writing.

What is Model United Nations?
In the Model United Nations project we simulated a United Nations conference for 2 days about the Syrian Refugee Crisis. During this project we learned abut the workings of the UN and global issues. We studied the Syrian civil war, Syrian refugees, and what our countries stance is on the issue. I was assigned to committee 4 where I represented Russia.
Researching Russia
Russia is a semi-presidential federation in Asia. Currently, Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev are in power as President and Prime Minister. Under the rule of Putin, Russia has become an authoritarian society with a heavily controlled media. The Russian Federation is against taking in refugees from Syria. In fact, Russia will only be granting 300 Syrian students scholarships to enter this year. Russia is more interested in addressing the Syrian refugee crisis at the root of its cause. Russia as allied with Syria and assists by providing weaponry to the Syrian government to fight ISIS. Russia has also protected Syria in the UN Security Council by vetoing resolutions that would hold the Assad Regime accountable for breaking international law in the use of chemical weapons against Syrians. Many believe that Putin is allied with the Assad Regime as means to gain influence in the Middle East. As I was portraying Russia in this MUN conference, I tried to emphasize the threat of ISIS and pull focus from others antagonizing Assad.
As I was researching my country, I found plenty of sources criticizing Russia for standing with Syria. I found this article extremely helpful because it gave a very direct explanation to Russia's view on the Syrian government and chemical weapons. In this article I learned that Russia uses its hate for the "western world" to fuel its motives for supporting Syria. Finding this article was quite difficult but assisted my research because it was first hand reporting from a reliable source.
My Position Paper - Russia
The key to writing my position paper was a foundation of thorough research. Because I knew Russia's stance on the issue I found it easier to write a strong position paper. Throughout the multiple drafts it took to finalize my paper I focused on the wording I used, trying to increase the professionalism of my paper. Some of the most helpful pieces of feedback I received were about further research I could do to strengthen my arguments. After receiving this feedback I did more research about ISIS and included more statistics in my paper. I am most proud of how accurately my paper portrays the Russia's perspective on the issue.
Opening Speech
Again, having thorough research really helped me write my opening speech. I had a lot of fun writing this piece because it was the foundation I used to start convincing other countries in my committee to side with me. One of the key parts I edited most in my speech was selecting and using information that would benefit my argument and outdo opposing countries. I was extremely proud of my opening speech because of my articulate writing and strong delivery.
MUN Conference
I really enjoyed my experience during the MUN Conference. My committee was very active and constantly had exciting debates. I was very proud of how invested I was in my country's views. I had to constantly push myself during the conference because the views that I was representing were very polar to my own. I think because my personal views were opposing, I was able to anticipate arguments that would be used against my country and develop strong rebuttals.
An important moment in the conference was when my committee was debating about the Syrian government and their use of chemical weapons. Although I had few allies that stood with me in supporting the Syrian government, we were very prepared to defend our arguments and even persuade other countries.
As was mentioned before, strong research was really the key to being successful in this project. I worked very hard to research and represent Russia's views as was recognized when I was awarded the "most accurate portrayal of country" award.

The grand unveiling of Sundance Ridge [sponsored]
When Rodrock Development began planning the community that would encompass the gorgeous terrain just east of Mission Road on 175th Street, the Rodrock team envisioned something spectacular. Marked by rolling acreage, winding creeks, and mature trees, Darol Rodrock proudly called it "absolutely the most beautiful piece of ground in Overland Park. Nothing compares."
Such breathtaking land required years of careful planning and thoughtful design before Sundance Ridge officially opened in August of 2017. This distinguished community will encompass in excess of 500 acres once completed and is comprised of three neighborhoods: Big Sky, Red Fox Run, and Archers Landing. Archers Landing offers homes between $450,000 and $600,000, while Red Fox Run has prices ranging from the low $600,000's to the mid $900,000's. Finally, Big Sky boasts homes ranging from $900,000 to $1,000,000-plus.
"More than two years of meticulous planning went into this community, and it represents the finest qualities for which Rodrock Developments are renowned: truly beautiful homes, protected values, richly-appointed amenities, and a neighborhood that will foster the growth of lifelong friends and families," says Brenda Sanders, President of Rodrock & Associates, Realtors.
"The Spring Parade of Homes was a grand unveiling for Sundance Ridge—and an incredible one at that," says community manager Bruce Stout. "We had 5 Silver award winners and 1 Gold award winner out of 7 total entries, which is phenomenal. Such a validating response by the judges lends credibility to the exceptional homebuilder pool assembled in Sundance Ridge. And the turnout by the general public has been far and away the strongest I've ever seen for a Parade. There is no doubt that this community is unparalleled!"
Fittingly, the plans for the community are exquisite and include a jaw-dropping entryway with natural rock water features, bronze statuary, and thoughtfully designed landscaping.
But this is merely the beginning: Once completed, a 4,000-plus-square-foot Montana-lodge-styled clubhouse will offer conference rooms, a stately fireplace and bar, fitness center, and a common area overlooking a beautiful valley. An indoor gymnasium (with a seating capacity for 300 and stage for community events) will be phased into the community in the future as additional phases are developed.
Enhancing the clubhouse complex will be a series of three pools—including an Olympic-sized and a zero-entry pool with splash pads and fountains. Additional amenities planned include well-equipped playgrounds, picnic areas, some 3.5 miles of paved trails linking the various neighborhoods, and green spaces.
And since Sundance Ridge is in the nationally rated Blue Valley School District and home to Darol Rodrock's groundbreaking Moms' Council—which plans an array of community-building holiday gatherings—the community is an ideal place for families to grow and flourish.
Needless to say, the homebuilding community had a strong reaction to such extraordinary plans. "We sold an amazing 42 lots within 48 hours of releasing land for construction to the building community," says Bruce.
Sundance Ridge was designed to be the finest, most distinguished Rodrock Development in the company's 35-plus year history. As Darol promised, there is simply no other community that can compare.

Once feeding has been completed there should be no food left on the surface of the water or floating around in the tank. If you find there is food floating around then you are feeding too much and need to net out this surplus food . Ideally, you want to feed your fish every day with a small amount to avoid excessive waste. Fish like humans require a balanced diet to stay healthy and retain an effective immune system. A good balance between flake food, frozen food and live food will provide all the nutrition they will need to grow and stay healthy and happy. Please call us or click here to email us for advice on feeding, we are here to help.

We missed you TahunaFiled under: Nelson;
And we are back to our fav spot with blue skies, a crazy happy dog, ice cream and decent coffee!!
Wow what a trip!One last breakfast with Jan in the executive lounge, which now feels like home. I'm sure the boys will be expecting canapes and drinks each afternoon when we get home! Alas, finally time to say goodbye and thank you to Jan for a wonderful time in London and Wales. We have been throughly spoilt with all the trips, shows, movies, museums, shops, treats and meals creating so much laughter and so many memories, We cant wait to see you again next year. Thank you so much for your generosity Jan.
So that's it time to pack and head home. It was a long slog and none of us slept much but we finally arrived back home on Tuesday morning to very excited dog and over grown garden thats turned in to a jungle and a beautiful clean and tidy house with a kitchen and fridge full of the essentials thank you so much Lucy for being so very thoughtful.
Wow what can we say? We did it! So many months of secret planning all came to fruition in a whirl wind tour of a place we used to call home. Thomas we are so proud of how you conducted yourself on our trip. You were polite, thoughtful, confident and full of mischief. We are so pleased that you got to meet your Uk family and spend time with them. My only regret is that your Grandma Kuhlmann never got to experience this with us. She would have loved to have spent time with you and I just know she was there with us in her own special way.
In loving memory…
Day 39 Hello again Paul and Goode bye again
Today another dream came true for Thomas. Aftet a rather long tube journey we arrived at Southfields and found our way to the Seido London dojo!
The community there were so welcoming and we were all so proud of Thomas as he took his place amongst the other advance brown belts. The entire class lined up and introduced themselves to Thomas. After nearly six weeks of no training it must have been hard work but he gave it his all.
After the class everyone grasiously posed for group photos. Now Thomas is thinking our next holiday with Jan could consist of an around New Zealand tour taking in all the dojos here.
After our goodbyes we jumped back on the tube and met Paul in Covent garden for our final farewell. How lucky was I to spend the afternoon with my four favourite men. So lovely to see Thomas interacting with both his uncles at the same time and finally it's happened not once but twice on our trip . Thank your Paul for coming back up to London to spend more time with us and boy did we pack a lot into our final afternoon. Starting with Covent garden for the best pies and roasted tatoes at the Battersea pie company, then Leicester square for one last trip to the Legostore.
back to Fortnum and Mason for afternoon tea and the biggest knickerbocker glory !
Then the National Gallery which was so crowded as everyone was trying to dodge the rain.
Of course there was also time for sillyness amongst the classics and master pieces. These four are one of a kind originals!
and then one final trip to China town for dinner.
Followed by a walk to Foyles book shop for one last coffee and goodbyes which are never easy… I tried so hard but indeed there were tears but looking through all these wonderful photos and seeing all the wonderful memories we have created makes me smile from ear to ear.
Goodebye Paul see you soon.
Day 38 museum and market.
We started the day at the Museum of London and could easily have spent the day there if it wasn't for the hoards of school children visiting at the same time! The Museum of London documents the history of London from prehistoric to modern times.It is the largest urban history collection in the world, with more than six million objects. It hosts more than one million visitors each year.
We had a break for coffee and much to Thomas delight my tweet was broadcasted on the screen in front of us.
We couldn't cope with the noisy school children so jumped on the tube to get to our next stop,Camden Market. It's been quite a few years since I last visited Camden Market. The vibe is the same and the massive range of unusual items for sale in the seemingly million stalls and shops is still the same.
There is multitude of stalls selling everything that you could possibly want, handmade goods, one off gifts, it is wonderful to just wander around. We had some fantastic Chinese food for lunch.
Suitably refuelled we continued to browse through the market and making a couple of purchasing before heading back down Camden high street taking in the atmosphere and looking at the eclectic shop fronts before heading back to the hotel.
Day 37 -What is that bright light in the sky?
That was the first question Thomas asked today when we awoke to sunshine and blue skies today. We made the most of it with lots of walking and sight seeing. First up was a trip on the DLR through to Canary Wharf which is a major business district in London, within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is one of the United Kingdom's two main financial centres – along with the City of London – and contains many of Europe's tallest buildings, including the second-tallest in the UK, One Canada Square.
We then walked under the Thames through the Greenwich foot tunnel. I was fine until ian asked " are you bothered by the fact so many tiles have cracked?" A quick exit for me up in the lift.
Then on to explore the Cutty Sark. The Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. She was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest.
Check out the blue sky!
Jan was craving traditional fish and chips so off we went in search of a good pub. Luckily we found one right beside our next tourist stop, HMS Belfast.

What's happening
I hope you all had a relaxing and restful break. I sure enjoyed my time with my family.
This week we will be finishing tides and begin seasons. Students will be doing a 3 day station exploration on seasons. They must practice good time management to get through all the stations. I am hopeful they learned this skill after the planet project.
