When Peter had the idea for Movem, the property management portal for renters, he dropped straight out of Uni – and he hopes the Entrepreneur Festival will help him show his dad he's got a real job!
Peter has been nominated for the BQ Festival's Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year award, and you could be too!
Tell us about your business, what does it do?
Movem is a transparent portal, offering a community-focused alternative to the way people rent property. Tenants can create their free rental profile, build up feedback as a good renter, whilst reviewing their own rental experiences.
What did you do before you started this business?
I was studying at university, it's quite a typical story really isn't it?
What inspired you to start up?
I had to rent for the first time, and I was genuinely shocked at how archaic the whole system was. Normally I go online and read reviews of everything before I purchase something, but for this I had to go in blind.
So I made a basic website, and it blew up around uni. The next day I dropped out and just threw myself into this.
How would you describe your business to a novice?
In concept, it's similar to Airbnb but for residential tenancies. Or perhaps a LinkedIn account for renting, somewhere between the two.
Where do you get advice, support or help?
I have mentors, and fortunate enough to have some amazing investors who always give me time. Aside from that I read a lot. Also I have a few friends who are also creating companies, and that helps because we're a similar age.
Finance is one of the most common barriers to starting up. How did you access the finance you needed?
I bootstrapped the company for 2 and a bit years, working as a freelance web designer in the evenings. Since then we've raised twice, both a typical SEIS raise and crowdfunding.
What has been your biggest achievement so far?
That's actually a difficult one. In general I don't think raising finance is impressive, if anything it's more impressive when a company gets big without needing external funding. That said, we did crowdfund £200k in just 10 days, and I was pretty proud of that.
It was so important to me because at the time I wasn't sure if people really cared about what we did. It was great to see so many of our users actually invest money in Movem, because that was like "yeah, we're doing this, it's happening".
How do you differentiate your business from others?
Nobody loves Rightmove, Zoopla or (insert name of a property portal here). They only use them because the properties are there. People love Movem, and it stands for something more than just what's available. It's the transparency we've come to expect, and most people can see why it's really beneficial in general.
What's it like to be your own boss?
In all honesty, I don't think I take advantage of being my own boss enough.
I work long hours, I never really take weekends off, I'm always worrying about work and I don't stand around ordering people to do the dirty work. I'm still the one in the office who takes the bins out and cleans the dishes.
As the company grows I hope to be able to actually take holidays and relax a bit more.
Where do you see your business in 5 years time?
I want every tenant to have a Movem rental profile - called a Movem Passport - and be building up reputation as good renters. The housing industry is going to change, there's absolutely no doubt about that. In 5 years time it will be different. Hopefully Movem can somewhat lead that change and steer it in a positive direction.
What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs?
Read more, ask more questions, do less planning and more 'doing' and be more persistent. We've had so many adversities where the company has felt like it was about to end. I've had situations where I've thought 'this is it, there's no way out of this'.
But, from speaking to people, this happens to most founders of disruptive companies. You need to be persistent and just keep finding a way.
Why did you enter the BQ Emerging Entrepreneur Awards?
I thought it'd be interesting - I'm only young once, so I may as well enter now before I'm boring and old!
What would it mean to you to win an award?
It'd be great. My Dad keeps telling me to get a proper job, and so if I won I'd just keep spamming him the link until he accepted that this is what I'm doing now.

Here are the midrash examples in Resurrection Myth or Reality (John Shelby Spong) that the literalists in their evangelical system fail to grasp:
1. "The birth narratives are quite obviously Haggadic midrash"
2. "who was to hail from Bethlehem, like King David"
3. "The wise men came out of the sixth chapter of Isaiah, where kings were said to come to the brightness of God's rising"
4. "they came on camels and brought gold and frankincense … combined the elements from the visit of the queen of Sheba, who brought spices (myrrh?) to honor the king of the Jews"
5. "and the story of Balaam, a seer from the east who saw the star of David rise and came to bless the king of the Jews (Num. 22-24)"
6. "The guiding star had appeared earlier in the midrashic tradition in the stories of the birth of Abraham, Isaac, and even of Moses."
7. "The song of Mary was patterned on the song of Hannah."
8. "The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, childless in their old age, was a retelling of the story of Abraham and Sarah."
9. "The vision of Zechariah in the temple speaking with Gabriel was a retelling of the story of Daniel in the temple speaking with Gabriel."
10. "Jesus' flight to Egypt was a reliving of Israel's history."
11. "Jesus' father, Joseph, was created out of the whole cloth of the ancient patriarch to whom God also spoke in dreams, and who also served God's promise by fleeing to Egypt."
12. "Luke's shepherds came out of Bethlehem, home of the shepherd king David, and the tower-of-the-flocks story of Micah 2-5."
13. "The story of the young Jesus in the temple was patterned after Samuel and his experience in the temple."
Revelation is a book of midrashic examples in an apocalyptic universal age. It shows how ensamples become timeless and never to be taken literally in a religious dogmatic system that bonds people to controlled slavery.
The midrash way, the path less travelled, will be resurrected.

This blog was born out of an old idea to read a bunch of books. My friend Trace introduced me to Moxy Fruvous way back in 1997, and I've loved them ever since. Their first album, Bargainville, is a cracker; it's mostly topical stuff they wrote for a radio show while busking, but they were canny enough to write with the future in mind. Asked to write about a writer's festival in their home town of Toronto, they came up with "My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors", a song lamenting the narrator's girlfriend's preference for reading rather than spending time with him.
I had heard of many of the authors in the song, but apart from Margaret Atwood, I hadn't read a book by any of them. Perhaps I could read one by each? After all, it's very easy to just keep reading the authors you know and love, until of course they retire or die or you switch to spending too much of your time playing games instead (too much, in this context, being a hell of a lot; games are one of my other passions). The idea resurfaced every few years, but it wasn't until 2008, at a Christmas party I think, that my friend Aiden endorsed the idea and suggested it was worth starting a blog.
Well, I finished the original nine authors in 2009 - by the skin of my teeth! - and the blog is still here. There was a "gap year" in 2010 when I neglected to write about many of the books I read; I'm catching up on the ones from the end of the year now. 2011 will feature both a list drawn from reader suggestions, and my forays into Victorian literature with a book club Aiden is starting up amongst a few friends.
I hope you enjoy my bookish adventures, and please, comment if you have anything to say; I love to hear what other people think about books, and my writing about books. And please, if you've never tried reading a book for no reason other than you've never tried reading that author before, I implore you: give it a try. You never know what you might find.

I was waiting for my Domino's carb fix and picked up a "Now Hiring" business card.
The back said:
"We encourage you to use a free Internet resource (such as your local high school, public library, friend's house, etc.) to access our website at careers.dominos.com and view all open positions."
I like the leeching internet suggestion. If you're applying for a full-time job at Domino's you either live at home or probably shouldn't afford internet (ask Suze!).
Its nice of the company to recognize that. Now if you were to apply for a PART-TIME job you probably live three blocks away and are hoping they assign you one of those adorable bikes to deliver pizzas in ;)

A lovely Spring scene at a Buddhist temple in Kawasaki, Japan. Pink umenohana or plum blossoms are in full bloom over a bamboo fence. Behind is a 5-tier pagoda with a gold top, almost sparkling in the noonday sun. I took this photo on a cool, breezy day in March and added vignette and filters for a glowing effect with vintage warmth.

Similar to Spring Fever, Autumn Fever has hit with a vengeance. We really only got about a week or so of actual summer this year, so I've happily skipped on to Fall a bit early and switched out a portion of my wardrobe accordingly. No, I'm not making this up. Several of us witnessed actual healthy live trees with fully turned leaves yesterday. I knew my internal nesting clock wasn't wrong.
Almost as soon as the wedding dress was finished and the guests gone I started my fall and holiday knitting/crochet projects. I'm back to having several projects going at once. Yay! This is my natural state, since it allows me to have things of differing difficulty and technique going on at once. I pick up to work based on my mood, not what happens to be on the needles at that point in time. If I want something challenging, I pick up project A. If I want mindless TV work, I pick up project B. And so on. It works for me, at least until the deadlines loom.
So here's what I have going on for the second half of this year so far:
I cast on a lovely spinach green yarn for a pair of moderately easy lace and cables socks (Ravelry link). This pair is for me, to add to my sock stash. The pattern is easy enough to count as commuter knitting, but interesting enough to take to Knit Nite if I have nothing else portable on the needles.
Though I've discovered that my cute small project bag is just slightly too small for two-at-a-time socks. On the lookout for a slightly bigger small project bag to add to my wish list that will fit this purpose. I could make one myself, but there's no room for that in my project list!
This watch band replacement (Ravelry link) project was a quick Sunday afternoon knit. I had been looking at the bracelet project page for a while, thinking about whether I would actually wear a bracelet, when I had the idea to modify the pattern to thread through the band slits on my watch. I just used a bit of the sock yarn left over from my mom's sock project last year.
I'm more than happy with how it turned out. The color works with the majority of my wardrobe and the band is super comfortable to wear (not to mention much more attractive than that nasty velcro thing).
I discovered that some good friends are pregnant with their second daughter, due this winter. I made them a neutral colored cabled blanket for the first one. She was so happy with the color that I decided to repeat it for this daughter too. I finished this easy lace blanket (Ravelry link) last month and washed and blocked it last weekend. I'm very happy with how it turned out and the fact that I'm finished several months early.
I also started a large stealth crochet project for holiday gifting. No pics here, since the recipient is a devoted reader of this blog. My knitty friends know how to see the details. It's a little over halfway finished now, and is my mindless TV project. As it grows, each round is now taking just under an hour of TV time. Guess that's a trade-off for distracted crochet.
Last weekend Husband and I went yarn shopping for another stealth knitting holiday project. There are several things I don't like about the yarn we found, but I think I'm going to be happy with the finished project anyway. My frustrations are technical in nature and have no bearing on whether it is suitable for the project and will make the recipient happy.
I chose an advanced level pattern for this rectangular shawl project (Ravelry link) and was a little scared of all the twisted stitches when I began. But now that I'm well into it I can see their benefit and my hands are quite used to working them. Scary hurdle safely crossed. This is my challenging project, so I thought it would be difficult to multitask while working on it. I have successfully attended two knitting groups while working on it, so I guess it's not all that bad. I'm very excited about how it is turning out and can't wait to see how the twisted stitches pop the swirl pattern once it is blocked.
This weekend I tagged along with some knit girlfriends to a small fiber festival on a nearby island. We had a fabulous day and I picked up some yarn to knit up another pair of socks. I think these will be plain, since there is so much color variation.
The moms who went with us thought I should use it nearer my face, since the color agrees so much with my hair color, but I think I'm sticking with socks. The dyer is local, so I can always get more if I want a scarf or shawlette in a similar colorway later.
That's enough for now, don't you think?

A Nigerian police officer, DSP Alkali Mohammed, was beheaded during Saturday's rerun election in Rivers State.
Mohammed was killed during an ambush at Omoku, Onelga area of the state, CLEEN Foundation said in its report of the election. He was killed alongside his police aide.
Other police officers confirmed Mr. Mohammed's death to PT. They said he was a member of the Mobile Police 19 team in Port Harcourt and is a son of a retired police officer.
Very sad.There were several cases of violence, ballot box snatching in the Rivers election to elect lawmakers that would represent the state in local and federal parliaments.

another Korean poem in translatıon by Geul on the blog Cardiac Slaves of the Stars
(translated from the Korean by geul)
I went to Muneui in winter and saw.
How the road that led there
barely met others that split off.
Death wishes the road be desolate as death itself.
The roads close their ears once with dry sounds
and extend out toward the cold side.
But life turns around on the road
to return to the sleeping village to let fly the ashes
and because I abruptly cross my arms
the far mountain is too near.
Snow, you cover up death, what more will you cover?
I went to Muneui in winter and saw.
While holding life in its arms,
to the end, Death declines an individual death
then hearing the sound of people
it goes forward a ways and turns to look back.
Because everything is low
in this world the snow falls
and no matter how we throw stones
they do not…

About Delilah
You can find more about Delilah by visiting her main website. There also is a 'who' page; check it out.
About The Pigs Showroom / The Pigs Zone
The 'Pigs Showroom / Zone' is a well(cough)known old project of mine. I decided to collect here the pictures of my pigs. As many as possible, as the number of the piggies is growing and growing and I am very lazy at updating this little space of the web :)
It happens I like pigs. People know it, and I often get little plush animals and piggish tools, such the pig sponge or the pig-lamp.
Okay, I admit it, I have a serious crush on pigs.
I see pigs everywhere. And I got pigs everywhere, too. My room is quite a mess because of it.
Each piece has its own story and means something special to me. I obviously don't like pigs only -I own cows and sheep in large quantities as well- but pigs are the best imho.
I am not, in fact, collecting pigs. I just like them and everything happens is a consequence of it. A natural progression of my love for them I'd say :)
I'd love to have a little pig as a pet. Too bad my dad keeps blackmailing me about cooking it if I dare to [fries and rosemary would turn it in a good tasty one he claims] so I gave up for the moment.
So well, there you go. I like pigs and this is a weird website about them. gh.

Free Things To Do In NYC
From Free NYC Museums, boat rides, and whiskey tours; this list has you covered for fun free things to do in NYC today and any other day!
Free Things In NYC Today
If you would like a list of Free Things to Do In NYC Today or This Weekend, I highly recommend Time Out's special section devoted just to this. Click their image below to check out Time Out's epic free stuff in NYC section
See The Statue of Liberty From A Boat
The Staten Island Ferry is free 7 days a week. Take this fun trip to see the Statue of Liberty up close.
Free Brooklyn Brewery Tours
Free tours of Brooklyn Brewery run on the hour 1-5pm on Saturdays and 1-4pm Sundays.
Address: 79 N 11th St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
ID is required for all guests over 21 to purchase beer.
Walk The Brooklyn Bridge
Walking the Brooklyn Bridge is definitely one of my favorite Free things to do in NYC. You get to see many breath taking views at one time, contemplate the complexities of bridge engineering, and there are Wafles and Dinges waiting for you on the Manhattan side. O.K., only do the former occasionally when you can split it with a friend or afford the extra calories, which according to Fitness Pal is 242 calories and 14 grams of fat.
Van Brunt Stillhouse
While you're in Brooklyn, stop by my favorite neighborhood, Red Hook. You'll feel like you stepped back into the 1800's when ship building was all the rage.
Van Brunt Stillhouse makes Whiskey, Rum, Grappa, and Moonshine at its artisanal distillery in Red Hook, Brooklyn
Central Park
It speaks for itself really. Central Park has so many wonderful free things to see, the list goes on. Just go take a walk and see what you find!

Light and variable wins saw some challenging racing as the spring series continued. Nick Marlow was on top form winning the Silver and Fast fleets, whilst Mike Pritchard won the Gold Fleet and Brian Dennis the Bronze Fleet. In the Gold Fleet, only 65 seconds covered the top six boats on corrected time. After four races of the gold, silver and bronze series the pecking order is getting clearer. The Gold Fleet is currently led by Mike Pritchard and Bob Ceurstemont and looks like Jill Reid will be going straight back to the Silver fleet with Malcolm Davidson also a likely candidate. The remaining six in the fleet are separated by only four points so will be a long battle to survive in this fleet.
In the Silver Fleet the top three places for promotion seem to be between Nick Marlow, Paul Jago, Josie Adams and Nick Turnbull-Ross. Jeff Marshall looks like gaining mid-table security with the other five in danger of relegation to the Bronze Fleet. Duncan Adams is struggling to make an impression in the Bronze Fleet with pace setters being Roger Chilvers and Brendan McGrath and these two look favourite for promotion with Nick Whiles and the Mick Adams/Paul Mellows combo battling for third.
Overall the GSB series seems to have increased participation and after four races the gold fleet has an average entry of eight, silver six and bronze an average of eight with this series overall having higher Sunday entries than any over the last four years.
The Fast Fleet is led by Bob Ceurstemont, Kevin Milton and Keith Breton with the Slow Fleet led overall by Paul Jago, Ray Kemish and Mike Pritchard. Talk on the water was whether Paul Jago would be swapping a Streaker for a Supernova.
Next Sunday sees three races for the Bank Holiday Cup starting at 14:00hrs and this Wednesday sees the 17:00hrs race series starting – variously called the Old Codger, the School Skiver, the it Must be Time to Leave Work series.

Top Ten Songs with the Word "Moon" in the TitleLotuscandy As a night owl, often sleepless, I thought this could be a good idea.
All the words containing "moon" are also welcome.
Hope that all the sound samples will work!
The Top Ten
I think it's nice to see this song at number one. - Gg2000
This song is a tribute to comedian and performer Andy Kaufman, and gave its name to Miloš Forman's movie based on Kaufman's life. The movie is irresistible (as the song), starring Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman. The song "The Great Beyond" was written for the movie's soundtrack. - Lotuscandy
Great song, great movie, great comedian, great band, great soundtrack, great comment... - Billyv
Obviously timeless and beautiful, thank you Metal_Treasure! - Lotuscandy
This song is also known for its misheard lyrics - "There's a bathroom on the right" (actual lyric "There's a bad moon on the rise"). - Metal_Treasure
After writing them in his notebook during a drug-filled summer, Morrison shared these lyrics with UCLA acquaintance Ray Manzarek by writing them in the sand underneath Venice Pier, thus making it the first "official" Doors song.
It's known to be one of the first songs ever written by Jim Morrison and he supposedly wrote it on a rooftop in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California in 1965.
"Let's swim to the moon, let's climb through the tide, penetrate the evening that the city sleeps to hide" - Lotuscandy
I love Van Morrison. Unusual for a teenage girl right
I didn't listen to Metal since a while, except from some "classic" ones, this was refreshing! - Lotuscandy
The Contenders
Really nice add, thank you Metal_Treasure! - Lotuscandy
Can't believe I forgot Cat Stevens, thank you Billyv for adding him! - Lotuscandy
Bassist David J sang lead vocals on this one. - Lotuscandy
Really cool add, thanks Billyv (as for the other ones) - Lotuscandy
From the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's - Lotuscandy
Gothic Metal! Didn't remember it existed, that's cool, thank you! - Lotuscandy
Les Paul was an American guitarist, songwriter, luthier, and inventor.
He was one of the pioneers of the solid body electric guitar, which made the sound of rock and roll possible. He has made many recording innovations, was a guitar builder, and the Gibson Les Paul, one of the world's most famous electric guitars, was inspired by Paul's innovative guitar "The Log".
This song is a jazz standard, Les Paul and his wife Mary Ford recorded it in 1951. - Lotuscandy
Featuring Sinéad O'Connor - Lotuscandy
I love this version, it always reminds me to Bewitched's theme song (the 1960's series), maybe because it was produced in the same era. - Lotuscandy
It took time to decide which version of this song I wanted to add, I finally opted for the old-fashioned charm of this one - Lotuscandy

If you want to get started making your own unique fused glass jewellery, this is the taster course for you. Working with System 96 Fusing Glass, you will develop a basic understanding of glass fusing, and consider the design process, experimenting with colour and shape to create distinctive pieces. You can expect to create a number of experimental glass pendants which will be fired in our electric kilns. Individuality will be encouraged throughout the day and you will be shown a number of techniques including how to apply metal inclusions and the process of layering dichroic glass to make your kiln glass jewellery really stand out!

"Don´t make it too neat!"
"Don't make it too neat!"
Not much space is needed to feel the energy of local plant seeds, as the Japanese participants of the miniature garden-workshop SEEDS OF LIFE experience.
All eyes are focussed on John when he talks humorously about his project SEEDS OF LIFE. And then the workshop starts! Seeds of tomatoes, basil, beans, wheats, flowers and even Spanish peppers were buried in soil. It´s a warm spring-day, the last Sunday in April, and we are at the experimental Agri-Dining restaurant Roppongi Nouen. Close to the Roppongi metro station right in the center of Tokyo, we are attending a LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) workshop, hosted by SOTOKOTO Magazine and supported as well as organized by orgabits, a project to further the cultivation of organic cotton. While enjoying a delicious lunch, we are talking about nature and our everyday consumption. Afterwards all participants create their own miniature flower bed.
Letter-sized flower beds and a city farm
The workshop host is John Moore. The Irish man lives in Tsubayama, a small mountain village in Kochi prefecture in the south of Japan. This is where he works on his project SEEDS OF LIFE, which deals with the protection of native seeds. Besides his work as a social entrepreneur, John frequently organizes workshops and gives lectures about seeds, soil and nature. His most famous project, which is also the main topic of the workshop, is to plant a miniature herb garden the size of a sheet of paper.
Before the actual workshop starts it is time for a small refreshment. And a breathtaking atmosphere, as the tent offers a view of the surrounding city. The tent belongs to a restaurant which in turn is part of the Roppongi Nouen farm. Orgabits uses the farm's small field to plant ecological cotton, here, in the middle of the metropolis. In this special ambiance, the participants get to help themselves from a buffet consisting of seasonal vegetable dishes. After lunch everyone is excited to start the workshop. Among the participants are a number of SOTOKOTO readers. Some have even traveled to Tokyo from other prefectures.
The energy is in the seed
First of all, participants choose whether they want to work with an empty 2-liter plastic bottle or with a letter-sized plastic box. John explains: "Do you think that mountains are living creatures? I have been living in Kochi for three years, but just now I have figured out that even mountains can slowly change. It´s just that us humans no longer feel it in these fast-moving times. So what are `living creatures`? Mountains, stones and even seeds are living creatures. For a seed to grow, it needs soil, a bit of water and sun. Human interventions, such as fertilizer or pesticides, are hardly necessary. The necessary energy is already in the seed. The seeds communicate with each other and build a perfect environment for themselves. We can experience, learn and practice all of this in an area the size of a piece of paper."
And then we plant! Every now and then you can hear John call: "Don´t make it too neat! Make sure you don´t squeeze the soil too much." It´s important that there is not too much pressure on the ground so the soil can be loose and airy. "When raising flowers, you not only get to know the relationship of the different seeds to each other. You also learn about your own relationship with the seeds." In a different pot, cotton seeds are prepared for planting. The participants can take them home along with their small garden beds.
What has happened with my own miniature herb garden? I followed John´s advice and sprayed it with a little water three to four times every day. After a single week already, small green seedlings were shooting up from the soil. I am sure that as I write this the other participants of the workshop are equally happy with their little green gardens.

Online stores Amazon and eBay were two of the first E-Businesses to offer online payment options to their customers. Since then, the internet has become a part of our daily lives and invaluable resource for businesses both big and small. The evolving world of E-Commerce is giving consumers greater access to the goods and services they need on a daily basis. Internet shopping sites allow shoppers to browse items and checkout electronically day or night. Potential customers can compare items and prices to find what they're looking for quickly and easily with a few clicks of the mouse. Current advancements in mobile marketing and the growing popularity of Smartphone's more services than ever are being made available on the go with devices like the Android, iPhone, Palm and Blackberry.
The ability of E-Businesses to be found organically through search engines without the use of expensive advertising campaigns and promotions offers a distinct advantage over companies that do not have a strong online presence. Internet vendors also use technology to track the purchase history and preferences of their customers. This historical information can be used to market specifically to each consumer independently. Some E-Businesses also enjoy the benefit of fewer employees and lower overhead costs without sacrificing their ability to reach consumers around the world.
Undergraduate and graduate programs in technology and e-business are available to meet the needs of individuals at various academic levels. IT Certificate/Diploma Programs are available in a variety of specialties. This type of focused program is a great option for individuals looking to enter the job market quickly. Potential students can take classes online or on campus at a college or university in their area. Those who want to gain comprehensive knowledge about the computer industry may be best suited for a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. A bachelor's degree is often a requirement for jobs in the tech field and graduates who have earned a 4-year degree often land more advanced positions when seeking employment than those without such a degree. Of course, individuals seeking higher paying jobs in technical fields may consider extending their academic career by getting a Master's Degree in Information Technology.

Pupil, 15, is charged with murder of Spanish teacher who was stabbed to death in classroom as heartbroken students leave moving messages and staff pay respects at school 'shrine'
- Prosecutors charge 15-year-old boy with the murder of Ann Maguire
- Suspect is due to appear at Leeds Youth Court tomorrow
- Tributes pour in from around the world for Mrs Maguire
- Flowers, notes and tributes stretch for more than 150ft outside school
- Spanish tutor begged students to flee rather than witness attack
'Cornerstone of her school': Spanish teacher Anne Maguire, 61, who was stabbed to death on Monday at the school where she worked, Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds
A schoolboy of 15 has been charged with the murder of Spanish teacher Ann Maguire who was allegedly stabbed to death in her classroom.
The schoolboy was arrested on Monday and has been questioned by detectives in the wake of Mrs Maguire's death.
The suspect is due to appear at Leeds Youth Court tomorrow and at Leeds Crown Court for a bail hearing on Friday, according to prosecutors.
The news comes as thousands of tributes to the teacher continue to pour in from pupils, teachers and wellwishers from around the world, including Pope Francis.
Headteacher at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds, Steve Mort, has said the school had been 'overwhelmed by the amazing outpouring of love and affection for Ann'.
Mrs Maguire, 61, was allegedly stabbed to death in front of her Spanish class on Monday.
The school - where she taught for 40 years and was weeks from retirement - has been surrounded by flowers, card and other tributes.
Mrs Maguire - described today as 'simply the best' by past and present students - died in 'a truly shocking and appalling tragedy', Prime Minister David Cameron said today.
Pope Francis has also expressed his 'sincere sympathy' to her family conveyed by the Vatican's Ambassador to Britain.
Students have also been writing messages on the school's railings, likely to form part of a permanent tribute to Mrs Maguire, who was killed on her day off after coming in to help students prepare for the exams.
The floral and other tributes now cover a 164ft (50m) length of the school fence.
Standing outside the school gates with colleagues, including his assistant Kieran Sykes, who tackled the alleged killer, Mr Mort said: 'I want to say on behalf of the pupils, the staff and the governors and of the school that we are overwhelmed by the amazing outpouring of love and affection for Ann from the local community, from friends of the school past and present and from colleagues across the city.

The teacher who wrestled to the ground the teenager accused of killing Ann Maguire laid flowers at the school gates today.
Assistant headteacher at Corpus Christi Catholic College Kieran Sykes, right, had rushed towards the classroom where the 61-year-old died after hearing screams.
Witnesses said that as he entered the corridor he faced Mr Sykes who grabbed him and pulled him to ground.
The suspect was pinned down until the police arrived.
Today Mr Sykes spent around 15 minutes reading some of the hundreds of messages along with head Andy Mort, deputy head Cath Bielby, and fellow assistant head Andy Kellett.
'Over the past 48 hours we have drawn an incredible amount of strength and comfort from all the amazing tributes and messages of sympathy and support that we have received from right across the country and, indeed, the world.
'I am immensely proud to be headteacher at Corpus Christi. Our children have proven themselves to be great ambassadors for the school. And I want to pay particular tribute to them and to the professionalism and dedication demonstrated by our staff at this very difficult time.'
Mrs Maguire was working on her day off when she was stabbed to death and begged students to flee the classroom.
The 61-year-old was only in work for 45 minutes on Monday when she was attacked.
She had told her husband Don, 62, she could not spend the day with him at home because she wanted to help students prepare for their exams.
The popular Spanish teacher was also in her last term before retiring from full-time work at the school where she spent her entire 40-year career.
One teenager said: 'Mrs Maguire was screaming at the kids in the class telling them to get out because she didn't want them to see what was happening.'
This evening, Peter Mann, head of the Crown Prosecution Service for Yorkshire and Humberside Complex Casework Unit, said that the teacher's family had been told that the suspect had been charged.
He said in a statement: 'The family of Mrs Maguire have been informed of this decision and they will be offered a meeting to explain the trial process and answer any questions they may have.'

One note said: 'You made our year 11 experience truly amazing. You taught us things we will never forget. If every tear we shed for you became a star above you'll stroll in heaven's garden full of everlasting love.'
Another said: 'it's really not fair for it to end like this. I can't get it round my head that you have gone.'
The message added: 'Just this morning you was [sic] saying jokes and laughing. You were one of the best teachers I have ever had and this is hard for everyone.'
Another message simply said: 'You make us into the people we are today'.
Earlier today detectives had asked for more time to question the 15-year-old boy over the murder.
The whole class of 30 teenagers saw the alleged stabbing and many of them stayed at home with their families yesterday.
Mrs Maguire had been standing by the desk of teenager Holly Walker when the alleged attack happened. The 16-year-old's mother Clare told the Mail: 'Holly was so close that she had blood all over her and she said she thought she was going to be killed too.
'She was so traumatised by it all and she ran out of the classroom trying to find help.'
Sue Francis, who was taking a class nearby, rushed to find out what was happening. A pupil said: 'She ran in after hearing the screams but it was too late and Mrs Maguire just fell into her arms.'
The suspect is said to have fled into the corridor where he was grabbed by Kieran Sykes, an assistant headteacher.
Paramedics and police arrived within minutes but could not save Mrs Maguire's life. A post-mortem examination confirmed she died of multiple injuries.
The suspect's older brother was taught by Mrs Maguire - and was said to be close to her.
Police have refused to discuss details of the investigation or what they believe may be the reasons for the killing – the first of a teacher by a pupil inside a British school.
Detective Superintendent Simon Beldon of West Yorkshire Police said: 'The pupils who witnessed this incident are still being interviewed by specialist officers who are very experienced in dealing with child witnesses and will ensure that their safety is paramount.
'This is clearly an unprecedented and tragic incident which has left the school and wider community in a state of shock.'
Grieving: Mrs Maguire's husband Don Maguire leaves the family home yesterday following the death of his wife. She would have spent the day with him on Monday but said she wanted to work on her day off to help children with their exams
Many of the tributes left for the popular Spanish teacher thanked her for her kindness and support shown to pupils at the school
Family: Mrs Maguire's daughter Kerry, 32, a trainee osteopath, was seen leaving the family home today
A candle burns next to a book of condolence for teacher Ann Maguire at Corpus Christi Catholic Church
Pope Francis has expressed sympathy to the family of Ann Maguire and all those affected by her death in a message conveyed by the Vatican's Ambassador to Britain.
Archbishop Antonio Mennini, in a letter to the Diocese of Leeds, spoke of the 'spiritual closeness' of Pope Francis with all those affected by the tragedy including Mrs Maguire's family, friends, colleagues and the community of Corpus Christi Catholic College.
In a letter to the apostolic administrator of the diocese, Monsignor John Wilson, Archbishop Mennini asked for the message of 'sincere sympathy' to be conveyed on behalf of himself and the Pope.
'I assure you of my prayers for the repose of the soul of Mrs Maguire and for the consolation and strengthening of all those persons close to her and all those who mourn her sudden death,' Archbishop Mennini said.
'May the Lord grant her eternal rest and the reward of her life of dedication and of service to young people and to education.'
Police stressed that the school had no history of pupils carrying weapons.
The police 'safer schools officer' attached to Corpus Christi was at another school when the attack took place.
Around three quarters of the 1,000 pupils aged 11 to 16 turned up as usual yesterday.
There was a special assembly in the morning and counsellors were on hand to help with any pupils' concerns.
Martin Dowling, who is chairman of governors, said the reaction of the children had been amazing.
Headteacher Steve Mort defended the decision to stay open yesterday.
He said: 'Ann Maguire always put the needs of the children first. She was concerned about their welfare and safeguarding.
'And we are absolutely confident that Ann would have wanted the school to have been open today.' He praised her as the 'cornerstone of the school' who touched the hearts of generations of pupils.
These words were echoed outside the school gates, where pupils spanning four decades turned up to lay floral bouquets and praise 'simply the best' teacher around. She was described as a remarkable woman who not only taught languages and RE, but ran the choir, acted as an agony aunt and who was an undisputed mother figure to her pupils.
Chloe Ripley, 16, said there was a subdued atmosphere in class yesterday: 'Nobody was speaking, it was so sad. There have been a lot of tears.'
The suspect is believed to have also been assessed by a psychiatrist before being cleared to be questioned.
Mrs Maguire was married to Donald, 62, a landscape gardener, and they have two children Kerry, 32, a trainee osteopath, and Emma, 30, a dancer with the Royal Ballet.
They were all said to be too upset to make a public comment.
The mother of the schoolboy charged with murdering Ann Maguire has been suffering from multiple sclerosis, friends revealed last night.
They said she went on holiday before the tragedy without her 15-year-old son because the crippling neurological disease had left her needing to 'get away from it all'.
The single mother, 47, was in Gran Canaria with her new partner when she was told her son had been arrested on Monday. She is believed to have flown back before he was formally charged yesterday.
Last night, the human resources manager and mother of two was said to have been a keen swimmer before being diagnosed with the incurable disease – which can cause extreme fatigue and difficulties with walking.
A friend of the mother said she was diagnosed with MS two years ago but continued to work full-time. Others said the condition had made it increasingly difficult for her to cope.
They said the caring and thoughtful woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, faces 'every parent's worst nightmare' and would be devastated at the murder charge.
One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said she had MS medication delivered to the £115,000 semi-detached home she shares with her 19-year-old son and her younger boy, who has type 1 diabetes. Another said she was a 'lovely woman,' who 'lived for her work and her kids'.
The 15-year-old boy has lived on the road for about 12 years after his mother divorced his father, a 50-year-old council executive.

Conserve Energy At Home
LED Light Bulbs
LED light bulbs typically consume at least 75% less energy, and last 25 times longer, than incandescent lighting. They are widely available at stores that sell regular incandescent light bulbs.
Find efficient lighting information at www.energy.gov.
Energy Efficient Appliances
Look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying appliances. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices.
Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2006 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 25 million cars — all while saving $14 billion on their utility bills.
For more information check out www.energystar.gov.
Insulating Your Water Heater
Insulating your storage water heater tank is fairly simple and inexpensive, and it will pay for itself in about a year. You can find pre-cut jackets or blankets available from around $10–$20. Not sure if you need one? Feel your water heater - a tank that''s warm to the touch needs additional insulation.
Some instruction and precautions are needed for this project. For more detailed information, please go to www.eere.energy.gov.
Installing a Solar Water Heater
Solar water heaters use sunshine (something we have plenty of in the Tricities!) to generate hot water for your home. Information on how solar water heaters work, different types, and how to choose/install a system at www.energy.gov/energysaver/articles/solar-water-heaters
Adjusting Your Thermostat
You can save about 3% on your heating bill for every degree that you set back your thermostat.
Heating and cooling account for about 56% of the energy use in a typical U.S. home, making it the largest energy expense for most homes.
- When you''ll be out for an evening, turn down the thermostats. If you''ll be away for a weekend or more, lower the thermostats to 55 F. You''ll save on heating without risking a freeze-up of your water pipes.
- Put on a sweater. Turn your thermostat down when you are leaving the house for more than one hour, or get a programmable one that you can set to increase the heat a half hour before you return home.
Reducing Use of Gas Powered Equipment
The emissions from many gas mowers and other gas-powered tools are full of greenhouse gases. Some older or poorly running mowers create more pollution than a car! Idea: Try a reel lawn mower.

I would like everyone to congratulate Tracey who has dropped 6 pant sizes in her time with us (3 months). She came in for her first session on August 23rd and has been CrossFitting ever since. She has changed her diet to mostly, if not completely, Paleo. Can you inform everyone, Tracey, on your steps to success? She is not the only one losing inches (and I say inches because it's NOT weight that you typically notice first, it's the inches). Doug and Jon both have both taken their belt to the next loop. That's HUGE! I know there are others, but these are the comments that I can remember from this week alone. Anyone else who has noticed a difference, please feel free to comment on this post. I would love for you to share with everyone else. All of the hard work you put in here does and will continue to pay off! Nice job to all!

June 2, 2014: Glenn Lau-Kee Takes Office As New York State Bar Association President
June 2, 2014: Glenn Lau-Kee Takes Office As New York State Bar Association President
Glenn Lau-Kee, a partner in the New York City law firm of Kee & Lau-Kee, assumed office June 1 as the 117th president of the New York State Bar Association.
Lau-Kee is the first Asian-American president of the 75,000-member Association. He succeeds David M. Schraver of Rochester (Nixon Peabody).
The theme of Lau-Kee's presidency is "Continuity and Change: A Question of Balance."
"The legal profession is undergoing change, driven largely by technology, globalization and demographics. As stewards of the profession, the State Bar Association itself needs to adapt so it can best serve its members in a changing environment," Lau-Kee said.
"Amid change, we as attorneys must continue to embrace the basic values and obligations of our profession which are the foundations on which we must build. They provide the continuity that will help guide change in other aspects of our profession."
While pursuing that approach, Lau-Kee plans to build on Schraver's efforts to prepare law students for a rapidly evolving profession at a time when recent graduates face uncertain job prospects and six-figure debts. Last year, when Schraver asked the Association's Committee on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar to examine legal education, he said the committee's work would extend beyond his tenure.
"Dave started a process that will span years," said Lau-Kee, who plans to visit each of the 15 law schools in New York, meeting with faculty, administrators and students. "Law schools and practicing attorneys need to engage each other for the well-being and development of both students and the profession."
To help young lawyers succeed in their careers, Lau-Kee said the State Bar Association is developing a program that will offer practical skills and opportunities to learn from veteran attorneys. Many new graduates work for small firms or start their own practices, often with few opportunities for formal on-the-job training.
"Younger attorneys are not alone," he said. "Experienced attorneys need to keep up-to-date with their skills and build professional networks. We must ensure that we effectively communicate that Bar Association membership is a vital part of an attorney's ongoing development after law school.
"At the same time, we must seek to harness the tremendous reservoir of knowledge and wisdom that our members have developed over the years and make it accessible to the less experienced members of the profession. We must connect the generations."
Lau-Kee will serve a one-year term as State Bar president. David M. Miranda of Albany (Heslin Rothenberg Farley & Mesiti) became president-elect on June 1. He will succeed Lau-Kee as president on June 1, 2015.
Personal and Professional Background
Lau-Kee, a member of the State Bar Association for 25 years, spent the past year serving as president-elect and chairing the House of Delegates. He was co-chair of the Committee on Membership and the President's Section Diversity Challenge, as well as an active member of various committees and the board of directors of The New York Bar Foundation, the charitable arm of the State Bar.
He has served on the New York State Screening Committee for the First Department and was appointed by former Chief Judge Judith Kaye to the Committee to Promote Public Trust and Confidence in the Legal System, as well as the Commission to Examine Solo and Small Firm Practice.
Lau-Kee was the former president of the Asian American Bar Association of New York (1997-1999). He has served on the boards of directors of the New York County Lawyers' Association, Legal Services for New York City, Fund for Modern Courts, Queens Legal Services Corporation, YMCA of Greater New York and US-Asia Institute in Washington, D.C. He is former co-vice chair of the Commission on Human Rights of the City of New York.
A graduate of Yale University, Lau-Kee earned his law degree from Boston University School of Law. After law school, he was an associate with Coudert Brothers in Hong Kong.
He has been a partner at Kee & Lau-Kee since 1977. He and his father, Norman Kee, who founded the firm in 1956, are joint recipients of the 2010 Hon. George Bundy Smith Pioneer Award, given by the Commercial and Federal Litigation Section of the State Bar Association.
The 75,000-member New York State Bar Association is the largest voluntary state bar association in the nation. It was founded in 1876.

Removable dentures and partials
If you're missing one or several teeth, dentures are one of the most effective ways to get back your chewing ability and eat the foods you love. A denture also improves your smile's appearance and facial profile. Your Baytown, TX dentist recommends a partial denture for patients with some natural teeth remaining and the complete type for patients missing all of their teeth.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture consists of a gum-colored acrylic base and acrylic or ceramic replacement teeth. A partial denture can fill gaps in the mouth and are anchored in place by your natural teeth. If you want a more stable and comfortable fit, the partial can be fixed in place by crowns that are capped over natural teeth on either side of the space.
Complete Dentures
A complete denture replaces all the natural teeth in an entire upper or lower arch. Like partials, a full denture consist of resin or ceramic replacement teeth that rest on an acrylic base. A complete denture can be placed right after your remaining teeth are extracted (immediate) or once your gums have healed completely (conventional). An immediate denture will allow you to have replacement teeth right away, but the appliance must be adjusted or replaced once the gums heal and shrink.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For maximum comfort and stability, dental implants can anchor a partial or complete denture. An implant-supported denture is incredibly stable, and require no adhesive or cutting down of healthy teeth. Consider this option if stability and value are your top priorities.
Tooth Whitening
At Dynamic Dental Solutions, we create custom dentures and partials that:
- Look and function just like real teeth
- Look healthy and stunning
- Fit perfectly
- Are comfortable
Your dentist in Baytown, TX uses a minimum of four appointments to ensure that your dentures fit properly and look like natural teeth. Dr. Sea will take impressions and X-rays and make wax models that you will try in to check for fit and appearance.

What am I talking about?
Fleece. No not the sort that zips into your coat, a real one from real sheep. My very first.
Growing up the smell of fleece was a common one in my house. We didn't live on a sheep farm, my mum did something others mums didn't do. She spun. On a spinning wheel like Rumplestiltskin but with fleece and no ulterior motives.
My interest wasn't held for long when it came to the fleece. Occasionally I helped card (the process of aligning, mixing and blending fibers). There was an odd attempt of using the spinning wheel, but that was it.
A budding love affair
It has only been in the last year that my interest in wool and the process of fleece to yarn has been peaked.
I have taught myself to weave, crochet and loom knit as well as doing a little bit of felting. The more wool I bought the more interested in the process from sheep to yarn I became.
In April my sister, mother and I went to Wonderwool Wales at Builth Wells and I became hooked. I have never seen so many colours, ideas, techniques and fibres.
My first fleece
I'm lucky that my mother has a friend who supplies fleece from her Jacob sheep and so I had the pick of three.
I chose the middle fleece as it had the most light coloured fibres. My plan is to use it in its natural state for felting and try my hand at spinning and dyeing for weaving and crochet.
Firstly it helps if you know a little bit about wool, I have a walking, talking field guide in my mother which is handy. I also have two books (click the title for a link to Amazon) which I find invaluable as a beginner:
The Field Guide to Fleece by Deborah Robson and Carol Ekarius. This is a guide to 100 sheep breeds and how to use them. It is an excellent source of information on origins, length, colour and uses
Spinning, Dyeing and Weaving by Penny Walsh. Part of the self-sufficiency series this book isn't just about fleece as it explains all different types of fibres; how to prepare, spin, dye and use them. It even has four projects to attempt. This book focuses on using traditional techniques and natural dyes.
On receiving the fleece firstly unroll it. It should have been rolled up with the yucky end bits (skirtings) on the outside.
When it was unrolled I couldn't believe the size! My mum then showed me the different textures, the fibres at the front were softer than the coarser hair of the back end of the sheep.
The length of fibre (staple) also varies depending on which part of the sheep it is from. Generally the wool from the front (shoulders and back) is longer and the shorter wool is from its tummy, head and bum.
You will notice that if you have a full fleece it may have not been 'skirted'. This means pulling all the mucky short bits from around the edges. It can be used for felting or, as my mum does, use in the garden.
Once had we skirted the wool. It was then rolled back up and placed in a cotton pillow case to prevent it from sweating and our hands were given a very good wash!
I forgot to mention that the fleece feels almost tacky from the lanolin that is produced. Lanolin creates a waterproof barrier from the elements and can be very good for the skin though some people are allergic to it. It's used in lots of products, even in nipple cream for breast feeding mums! So after washing your hands they should feel softer.
Next time I will be sorting and scouring small amounts to use. I hope you will join me as I experiment and explore the methods used to create my own yarn.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have to admit, I had mixed feelings about moving the focus of the series (at least for this book) away from Summer and Decker. I should not have worried because Lizzy has proven once again that she has a talent for effortlessly weaving a complex narrative that combines her characters' minds and voices while managing to preserve their distinct personalities. Well done Lizzy!
I was ecstatic to delve into Morgan's mind. We were introduced to her briefly in a teaser exchange between her and Beck at the end of the previous book in the Witchling series, Autumn Storm. Let me just recap the how things stand at the end of Autumn Storm and at the beginning of Winter's Fire. There is so much about the situation that I like because it gives you an idea about what kind of character Morgan will be. In the last book: (1) Beck puts his soul on the line and doesn't get the girl (I didn't want him to be with Summer or anything, but you have to admit, this usually results in a bit of fangirling) (2) Beck comes to the grim realization that he may not be able to keep the Darkness at bay forever and that he has no one to help him to carry that responsibility both physically and emotionally (3) Beck and Decker wonder if the Master of Light could also have a counterbalance (You have to ask yourself, what kind of girl would even be a counterbalance for Beck? I mean, she would probably have to be strong and sarcastic, but other than that...?).
AND...in walks Morgan and offers to set Dawn's shoes on fire. Lizzy had me fully invested in a character in five pages. Sometimes it takes me a whole series to like a character...other times I never like protagonists. Five minutes...might be a record.
I was surprised to find Morgan to be the most believable and human of the characters in the series thus far. She seems like a teenager--but that may just be a result of the impulsiveness of her fire element. Even when she gets into trouble, I never felt like she needed saving. She was far from a damsel in distress. If anything, she is the princess who the white knight tries to save, but who knocks him off his horse and rides off into the sunset so that she can go save others. Throughout the book, she saves or protects others even if she is facing the possibility of pain or death. She was similar to Summer in this way, but while there are parallels between the two characters--they are both self-sacrificing, brave, and smart--but they are in no way replicas of one another.
Winter's Fire has an interesting plot that builds off the story arc of Dark Summer and Autumn Storm. It is face-paced that makes it anything but dull and (surprise!) it ends with another trademark-Lizzy cliffhanger. When I read the last pages, the five-year-old in me was stomping her feet in protest. The novel excels at weaving the voices of new characters like Morgan and Noah (Dawn's brother) while also, for the first time, letting us into the minds of those characters we already love. I was so relieved when I read Biji's thoughts that she is as snarky as I thought she was! She may be my favorite character in the series.
Lizzy, if you're reading this, more Biji please...all snarky all the time...
And, poor Sam...aren't there girl Sams in the world? He could use some yeti love.

Credit Cards in Kenya
The introduction of prepaid Credit Cards in Kenya has enabled many Kenyans to be able to have credit cards and conduct online purchases. In order to be able to use services like Paypal, one needs to have a credit card. Paypal is the best way to receive payment and make purchases as they have a buyers protection policy.
Credit Cards in Kenya – Paypal account
Using Paypal with your credit card is easy, one needs to link their credit card to their Paypal account, verify it, and after that they don't need to provide their credit card details again when they are making a purchase using Paypal. The best part is that a variety of merchants accept Paypal as way of payment, making it easy and convenient to use.
Credit Cards – Protected
If you have the chance to pay by credit card why not, it's easy and protected, it's possible you may pay a little more, as most safari companies are quite small businesses some of them pass the credit card fees on to the customer. KES is the local currency, it is best everywhere, for local shops, bars, restaurants, tipping, etc.
Credit Cards – Variations
Classic Card
The Classic Credit Card is designed for the middle income earner who wants to access credit when he needs it.
Gold Card
The Gold Credit card offers higher spending limits and exclusive packages to high income earners.
Credit Cards
Credit Cards in Kenya: All major international cards are accepted. Credit card fraud occurs in Kenya, as in most other parts of the world, and the usual precautions should be taken.
List of businesses that deal with credit cards in Kenya
A comprehensive list of all businesses that deal with Credit Cards in Kenya, their addresses (postal and physical), contacts (telephone and e-mail) and a link to the credit cards business websites.
