'Doctor Who' thing of the day: balloon TARDIS
Lanna is a reader of this site, and she also happens to be a person who twists balloons into funny and/or interesting and/or weird shapes. You know, for fun. (She appears in the documentary Twisted: A Balloonamentary.) Her friend and fellow balloon twister Flip Florey made a TARDIS pretty near life-size (on the outside, anyway) out of balloons:
His TARDIS is aka the "Twisted And Radically Designed Inflated Structure," and you can see more pix at WherestheTARDIS.com, a contest sponsored by BBC America. Lanna says of Flip:
He is looking for votes so he can have a screening of Doctor Who in Bangor Maine – which would be so fantastic!
So go on over, look at some more pix, and vote for Flip's balloon TARDIS.
(If you stumble across a cool Doctor Who thing, feel free to email me with a link.)

- About us
Our Oyster Ridge cuvée honors an outcropping in our estate Margarita Vineyard that never fails to astonish. Here, large white oyster fossils are literally spilling out of the ground, fostering the type of calcium-rich soil that is coveted by winemakers worldwide.
Each year, this cuvée comes from superior sections of the vineyard that are fastidiously farmed to maximize the fruit's potential and meet the standards of the Oyster Ridge program.
The final blend is assembled from only those barrels that exhibit exemplary complexity, structure and aging potential, often resulting in an unconventional union of varietals.
This brings us to the 2014 vintage, which is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (51%), Merlot (36%), Syrah (5%), Petite Sirah (5%) and Malbec (3%). The mouthfeel of this wine is broad and plush, framed by luscious accents of new oak. Lively acidity and long tannins converge with impeccable balance on a sleek, structured finish
We are proud to share that this vintage is ringing the bells of top wine critics, as noted below. We invite you to experience this remarkable wine at our tasting room, and you may also order right here on our web site.
"94 POINTS…Plush with layered flavors of lavender to mulled plum and blackberry to dusted cocoa."
-Tasting Panel Magazine
"92 POINTS…Firmly structured…Possessing great harmony and depth."
-Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
-Wine Enthusiast
"91 POINTS…Wall-to-wall flavors offer complexity, texture, richness and length…Long and fulfilling on the finish."
-Wine Spectator
We are excited to share that our 2014 Oyster Ridge red blend won a Double Gold medal and earned the distinction of Class Champion at the prestigious 2018 Rodeo Uncorked! International Wine Competition in Houston, Texas. Additionally, our 2015 Renegade red blend also earned a Double Gold medal.
This 15th annual competition was a record-breaking event with 3,188 wine entries, which were evaluated by 120 judges. The results were verified by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Each year, we craft the limited-edition Oyster Ridge cuvée to exemplify our finest winemaking efforts. The 2014 vintage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (51%), Merlot (36%), Syrah (5%), Petite Sirah (5%) and Malbec (3%), all from meticulously farmed vineyard blocks cultivated for the Oyster Ridge program.
The 2014 Oyster Ridge has also earned a rating of 92 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, while the 2015 Renegade was recently accorded a score of 93 points by Wine Enthusiast.
We invite you to experience these wines at our Paso Robles tasting room and winery cafe.
We invite you to "live off the land" with Ancient Peaks at a couple of exciting happenings this weekend.
U-Pick Pumpkins on October 14
We will be out of our gourds on Saturday as we host a "pick your own pumpkin" affair at Santa Margarita Ranch from 9 a.m. to noon. The festivities include special family photo locations and rides on our vintage Hummer. Proceeds benefit the Santa Margarita 4-H club. Small pumpkins are $3, mediums are $5 and larges are $8. This pumpkin patch was lovingly planted and tended by our vineyard manager, Jaime Muniz. Just come out to 5990 West Pozo Road to pick your pumpkin!
Gone Fishing on October 15
Let Ancient Peaks Winery co-proprietor Karl Wittstrom show you the ropes and help you create some fish tales as he leads you to our 13-acre reservoir at Margarita Vineyard for a casual fishing expedition. He will teach his catch and release techniques for the reservoir's largemouth bass. This event is open to beginner through experienced fisherman. A fishing license and gear are required. Hats and sunscreen recommended. Please meet at the tasting room by 9 a.m. Cost is $15, click here to secure your spot.
Our estate Margarita Vineyard resides on the historic Santa Margarita Ranch, which is one of California's oldest continuously operated cattle ranches.
Needless to say, we know a thing or two about horseback riding. In fact, during the branding season, you will see our ownership families riding and roping right alongside ranch manager Jeff McKee and his cowboys.
It is in this spirit that we now offer a unique horseback riding experience for everyone on August 11--and it concludes on a delectable note!
Indeed, we have teamed up with Central Coast Trail Rides for a guided one-hour horseback ride across some of the ranch's most beautiful terrain, with views of mountains, vineyards and oak savannahs. Afterward, we will retire to our tasting room and cafe, where brunch or lunch will be paired with Ancient Peaks wines.
There are two rides offered on August 11: 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. followed by brunch, and 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., followed by lunch.
Click here to reserve your saddle. We look forward to riding with you!
We will file this one to perfect timing...
Shortly after we spotlighted our new release 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon in our previous blog entry, we learned of another blog post featuring the same wine. Indeed, our Cabernet Sauvignon was showcased in the Official Whole Foods Market Blog in a piece by Devon Broglie, master sommelier and the global beverage buyer at Whole Foods Market.
Under the title of "More Can't Miss Summer Favorites," Mr. Broglie wrote: "And you can put Ancient Peaks Cabernet Sauvignon up against way more expensive wines any day. A classic Paso Robles cab — dense, ripe, toasty. Yes with a perfectly grilled rib-eye."
Click here to read the full piece, which provides some great insights into other summer picks and trends.
If you are looking for a wine that epitomizes Ancient Peaks, it might just be our Renegade red blend, and specifically the new release 2015 vintage now available at our tasting room.
The name Renegade not only speaks to the western heritage of Santa Margarita Ranch, but also to the unconventional "outlaw" nature of the blend itself. This is a wine that is constantly evolving, but the vision always remains the same—to craft a rich, boldly flavored blend that nevertheless exhibits structure and finesse.
Syrah typically leads the way with its rich dark fruit qualities. From there, it all depends on what the vintage delivers. There are no rules, and that is the point. For the 2015 Renegade, the final blend is Syrah 55%, Zinfandel 27%, Petite Sirah 13% and Petit Verdot 5%. Needless to day, it is a blend that defies tradition.
There has been one constant since our first vintage of Renegade in 2009, and that is the fact that it has consistently been one of our highest-rated wines. We invite you to come out to try it at our Paso Robles wine country tasting room in Santa Margarita.
The wildflowers are blooming, the temperatures are warming and spring is in the air, which means the dry rosé wine season is upon us.
Fittingly, we have just released our 2016 Rosé in our tasting room, and as you can see in the video above, it is full of spring fever.
Modeled after the refreshingly dry rosés of Europe, the 2016 Rosé is made wholly from Pinot Noir from our estate Margarita Vineyard. It seduces the nose with lively scents of pear, green apple, citrus zest and jasmine. A clean, quenching texture is counterbalanced with rounded flavors of dried cherry, strawberry, kiwi and peach. Hints of pink grapefruit linger on a crisp, tangy finish.
Come try it at our tasting room in Santa Margarita, and while you're at it, pair it with a bite from the Ancient Peaks Cafe, one of the best places to eat in Paso Robles.
We are thrilled to share that Rachel Collier has joined Ancient Peaks as our new VP of National Accounts.
In this new position, Rachel is charged with growing our national accounts and corporate retail business.
Rachel comes to us from The Henry Wine Group, where she worked for the past 20 years, most recently as the VP of corporate sales. The Henry Wine Group wa--and remains--our first distributor, and we have long held Rachel in the highest regard. Needless to say, we are excited to have her on our team.
"Rachel's depth of experience as a management executive, leader and trainer is exactly what we need to take our corporate sales to the next level," says Amanda Wittstrom-Higgins, our VP of operations.
She adds, "The Henry Wine Group has been a fantastic partner. Rachel and I and everyone here at Ancient Peaks look forward to working even more closely with them and to forging many more successful years together."
At the time, we had to keep it under wraps, but now the word is out on national television!
Indeed, last summer we had the privilege of hosting the Manzo family of the hit Bravo reality television show "Manzo'd with Children."
It was all part of an episode featuring a Manzo family vacation with a birthday celebration right here at our estate Margarita Vineyard and the surrounding Santa Margarita Ranch. Not only did they enjoy a meal from our Ancient Peaks Café, they also got to soar across the ziplines of our affiliated Margarita Adventures.
"It was really a fun day," says Amanda Wittstrom-Higgins, our VP of operations. "The Manzo family was kind, witty and really down to earth. Building special memories is what Ancient Peaks and Margarita Adventures are all about, and I think we accomplished that."
The resulting episode just aired. You can click here to watch the episode online, or search for "Manzo'd with Children Episode 8 California Dreamin'" on Amazon or other on-demand providers.
Here's how the episode teaser puts it: "The family vacation continues on Lauren's birthday and Vito has pulled out all the stops to plan a special day. Much to Caroline's dismay, Vito booked a zip-lining excursion high above a beautiful vineyard..."
Spoiler alert: they had a blast!
We really enjoyed our time with the Manzo family, and are thrilled to be featured in their show.
When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. But when you get too many pumpkins, well, that's when things need to get really creative.
Such was our dilemma when we were faced with an unexpected bumper crop of pumpkins here on the Santa Margarita Ranch. Then the light bulb went off: rather than plow the gourds under or let them rot, what if we could find them some happy homes?
With that thought, our staff got in the spirit and mobilized, stuffing their vehicles with pumpkins and hitting the road.
Click here and here to read a few local media stories about what happened next. We were overjoyed and touched by all the little smiling faces we were met with along the way, and thrilled to see our pumpkins land in happy hands.

Dealing With Chicago Street Sweeping
(Pardon the delay on the article good readers)
Bright orange flyers should be showing up in your neighborhood soon if they aren't already, as April first marks the beginning of the Chicago street sweeping season. This means that side streets will have an occasional sweeping schedule marked by cardboard signs on poles, and some main streets will have permanent signs with cleaning schedules that will go into effect.
Those moving into the city for the first time are often surprised by the suddenness of street sweeping season as well as the penalty. The orange cardboard posters are put up by members of the Department of Streets and Sanitation only the day before the sweeping commences, and any cars left on the street during that time are hit with between a 50 and 60 dollar fine in an orange envelope tucked under their wiper blades. While the inconvenience affects just about everyone the worst of it falls on those who live in Chicago condos or Chicago apartments that don't have dedicated parking. If the individual doesn't need to leave home that day or if they simply leave their car parked and take the train to work they can get hit by the fine without ever seeing it coming.
For this reason it is a good idea to go to the City of Chicago Street Sweeping Cheap page and check the schedule for your ward. You can also sign up for email updates in certain areas. online Pills Buy
Buy As inconvenient as the scheduled cleanups are they do serve an important purpose. Fallen leaves, rubbish, even dead animals begin to pile up, especially after a few long months of winter. As Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation Commissioner Thomas G. Byrne states, "Keeping the streets clean is critical for allowing safe travel for motorists and for sustaining effective storm water management in our sewer system." If it never happened you would miss it.
Just make sure to pay attention and avoid the fines in your area. Parking violations regarding street sweeping add up into the millions for the city every year—better to just pay your taxes and move your car when you need to.

What Is a Tangelo Orange?
You may have seen tangelos (Citrus paradisi × Citrus reticulata) at the grocery store and mistaken them for oranges. The sweet-fleshed, juicy fruit is a hybrid of grapefruit or pummelo, and any variety of mandarin orange. Tangelos can be the size of a normal orange, but may grow as large as grapefruits. They have a stubby neck of peel at one end and are typically dark-skinned. Tangelo hardiness depends on cultivar. One of the most common varieties, the Minneola Tangelo, thrives in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 9 and 10.
Although one of the first tangelo crosses was made by Herbert Webber in Riverside, California in 1898, the trees are uncommon in California today. Tangelos thrive in the hot, humid climate of Florida where they are grown commercially and shipped around the country.
Tangelos are an excellent low-calorie source of nutrients. One fruit has roughly 70 calories, 2 grams of fiber and 100 percent of your daily required vitamin C, according to Produce Oasis.

Foraging and finding food in the wild can be quite exciting and when you learn what to look out for it starts to become more than hobby and more like an addiction.
In this series I explore various wild foods, which could be helpful for you in any apocalyptic scenario (or simply if you've an interest in trying something new). This week:
Also known as Navelwort, this bright green bite of the wild can be found in many places across Ireland. A fleshy plant, it's so named for its umbilicate (or navel-like) leaves.
Found on cliffs, stone walls and stony banks, it has quite a distinctive look and can be enjoyed simply by plucking off the leaves and popping them into your mouth.
(Image via WikimediaCommons/Geograph)
From June to September, you'll see pennywort with large bell-shaped flowers that veer upward into a spiral.
According to Kerry folklore, the perennial plant was "known to be a cure for corns", though I've yet to see proof of that!
This plant is perfect as an addition to any salad as it gives a juicy bite to the rest of the leaves.
It has a lovely texture and makes for a nice contrast against the softer plants.
Easy to snap up if you're in a hurry, it's no wonder that this little plant is also known as "bread and butter". Happy foraging!

On track for a record year due to unabated growth and strong profitability in the first nine months
The global transport and logistics group Panalpina persistently continues its solid performance and posts excellent results for the first nine months of 2006. Fueled by favorable world market conditions, substantial new business wins and successful cost management, both Ebitda, Ebit and net earnings have already reached the full-year results level of 2005.
Monika Ribar, Chief Executive Officer of Panalpina, comments: "We are very satisfied with the development of the first nine months of 2006, not only in view of these convincing figures as such, but also because we manage to keep delivering what we forecast. This consistent performance, which is even above our recently raised targets, proves the soundness of our business model and the strong commitment of our staff, which justifies our positive outlook regarding the full-year results."
Panalpina Group: Results for the first nine months of 2006
in million CHF Q1-Q3 2006 Q1-Q3 2005 + / -
Gross revenue 6 773.6 5 917.7 + 14.5%
Net forwarding revenue 5 636.3 4 967.3 + 13.5%
Contribution margin (gross profit) 1 162.3 1 022.8 + 13.6%
Ebitda 204.5 143.5 + 42.5 %
Ebit 168.6 107.6 + 56.7%
Net earnings 119.1 82.6 + 44.2%
All regions showing a strong performance
Top-line growth continued throughout all of Panalpina's four reporting regions with net forwarding revenue – in comparison to the previous year's period – increasing by 13.5% in Europe / Africa / Middle East / CIS, by 16.0% in Asia / Pacific, by 16.4% in North America and by 3.8% in Central and South America. The restructuring in North America is progressing very well and puts this region ahead of the break-even target for the full year. Profitability, also, was generally strong in all regions despite investments to further strengthen the organizations in China, North and West Africa as well as in Central Asia. Latin America managed to more than double its profitability and increased gross profit by 11.1% despite adverse currency impacts and a temporary slowdown in project business.
Further consistent growth in all key activities
All of Panalpina's three key activities grew both in terms of revenue and tonnage. In air freight net forwarding revenue went up 9.7%, in ocean freight 18.1% and in supply chain management 14.7%. The transported volumes and tonnages once again outperformed the respective market growth rates in air and ocean freight. The ongoing global trend to outsource industry processes manifested in a continued strong customer demand for logistics solutions. Panalpina successfully mets such demands based on its asset-light approach in supply chain management services.
Additional and new business in all industry verticals
Throughout all of the Group's strategic key industries – namely the oil and gas, the automotive, the healthcare, the retail and fashion, and the hi-tech sectors – Panalpina contracted substantial new business and further enlarged its customer base. Once more, an excellent performance was achieved in the booming supply chain (up-stream) services for the global oil and gas industry.
Outlook on a record year
In view of the facts that the traditionally strongest quarter is still ahead, that the globalization-driven world economy shows no signs of weakening and that the forecasts for air freight, ocean freight and logistics demands remain positive, Panalpina is confident to meet its targets for the full year results 2006. With the recent enlargement of the Executive Board, the management team is in an excellent position to continue to lead the Group to a further successful future development.
The Panalpina Group
The Panalpina Group is one of the world's leading suppliers of forwarding and logistics services, specializing in intercontinental air freight and ocean freight shipments and associated supply chain management solutions. Thanks to its in-depth industry know-how and state-of-the-art IT systems, Panalpina provides globally integrated door-to-door forwarding solutions tailored to its customers' individual needs.

Love starved backwood teaser farm girl hot eyed bride
stone cold blonde a quivering menace atomic wallop wholesale murder
we want out
we fish at night
sex in heaven
tough town
a cruel touch
sailors leave
sirens screaming
lap of luxury
a show of violence
take off your mask
lay off my brother
kiss my fist
stop at nothing
a steaming swamp
and a troubled heart
the sky is red
and i can't stop running
her baby stares
the secret's there
so help us god
i'll swing at your funeral
the stubborn air
the killer mob
a red bone woman
a double cross
big fake bitter love underbelly freezing jungle
one step more he'll stir your senses scratch your surface and nail your head
murded angels
bodies in bedlam
a women scorned
you can't hang me
tied to my job a blast scene alibi tied to a tree in a blind alley
nothing before
a big fear
don't get caught
by her father's friends
swamp girl faded
the tiger's wife
a frenzied love
hot climate
twisted passions
flesh parade
dead ahead
a world so wide
big river love camp

Big Red Car here. The Boss has been driving me hard because of the perfectly lovely weather here in the ATX. I love it. Wind whipping around and growling along.
So The Boss is talking with his friend about unemployment. Suddenly, The Boss says: "Cut the crap, unemployment is still a huge problem. Let me show you."
The inanity of "adjustments"
No government bean counter is ever happy to just give you the raw data — they have to adjust it because you are too stupid to understand the raw data. OK?
In the course of making adjustments, some adjustments get made and institutionalized for reasons that are just dumb. How dumb?
One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork.
Adjustments and other sleight of hand
Well, maybe not. Here goes.
There are two common measurements of unemployment that sometimes work their way into polite conversation: U-3 and U-6.
1. U-3 is what I call the stupid standard as it is absolutely NOT accurate. It is what is in the newspapers and what the government wants you to think is the right standard.
You may call this the T-ball standard. Everyone gets a hit, everyone gets on base, nobody is ever out, everyone goes out for ice cream and everybody gets a big trophy.
Like T-ball, it is not really true to life.
2. U-6 is the standard for folks who can handle a bit of the truth but really need sunglasses to look directly at it.
The Boss calls it the — "hey, does my unemployment look fat in these numbers?" Hell, yes!
U-6, what the heck is it, Big Red Car?
U-6 is U-3 as your main course plus a couple of side dishes.
1. U-6 includes "marginally attached" workers — folks who have looked for work sometime in the last year.
2. U-6 includes "discouraged" workers — folks who have given up looking for work.
3. U-6 includes folks who have had to settle for "part time" work because they cannot find full time work. This is the nuclear physicist flipping hamburgers.
But what it still does not include are workers who do not fit in the above categories but who have been on the unemployment rolls for more than 52 weeks.
Hmmm — so if you are unemployed for more than 52 weeks, then you are dropped off the rolls? YES, says the Big Red Car.
Now why is that important?
Here's why it is important.
Today you can receive up to 99 weeks of unemployment. That is right — 99 weeks of unemployment but they disappear you off the rolls at week 52.
One more time — if you are unemployed you can get 99 weeks of payments but you are considered MIA at week 52 as if you had MAGICALLY become employed.
But even better — you are no longer considered as part of the unemployed and you are no longer in the workforce.
U-7 the right number
U-7, the older and smarter sister of U-6, adds back in the magical number of folks who are still unemployed after week 52 meaning those folks who MAGICALLY disappeared when they hit week 52. The unemployed, still collecting benefits, Missing in Action.
Well, Big Red Car, this is a very discouraging little graph, is it not?
What is shows is that some realistic measure of unemployment in the United States — this meanspirited little U-7 which apparently counts the actual unemployed — is almost 22% of the labor force in the United States.
Why, Big Red Car, that's more than twice the 7.9% U-3 rate that was in the newspaper. Indeed. U-3 is unemployment if it looked like say, Kate Upton. Tarted up a bit. Made to look much better than it really is. U-7's sluttly little sister and not the girl YOU are going home with tonight.
Did you see that sexy…………………………………………………………convertible? Haha, you crack me up, Big Red Car.
But, hey, what the Hell do I know anyway? I'm just a Big Red Car and I'm hustling to keep this job.
So be kind to yourselves and truthful.

Earamichia "Encyclopedia" Brown: My love of fiber arts and all things craft began as a child. My family had a set of the World Book Encyclopedia series and the Childcraft – The How and Why Library. Within that Childcraft series there was a volume called "Make and Do", which I did plenty of. I wanted to become a fashion designer, but settled for plan B. I am an attorney by day to support my love of fiber.
My love of crafts and fiber continued to flourish throughout the years as a hobby, side jobs, and gift giving. I became an avid knitter, designed and knitted garments as gifts and by commissions, and taught knitting. In 2000, I was introduced to quilting and began taking sewing classes to improve on my techniques and learn the tips of this craft. And the story continues as I continue to grow creatively.

Calliostoma modestulum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Calliostomatidae. The height of the shell attains 13 mm. This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, the Falkland Islands and Tierra del Fuego at depths between 66 m and 251 m. Sinai Jewish Primary School is a large three form entry voluntary aided modern orthodox Jewish primary school, under the auspices of the United Synagogue and is situated in Kenton in the London Borough of Brent.
The Michael Sobell Sinai School started life as the Bayswater Jewish School, founded by members of the Bayswater Synagogue for the children of "poorer brethren". Originally based at St James's Terrace, Harrow Road, the school opened its doors in 1866 at 1 Westbourne Park Villas. Eleven years later it moved to a new building in Harrow Road in 1879, and by the year 1903 it had accommodation large enough for and educated 419 pupils. In 1902, 222 of its pupils took part in the Paddington Children's Coronation Procession.
The new Michael Sobell Sinai School (MSSS) opened in September 1981 with the pupils and staff coming from Solomon Wolfson and Yavneh schools to form the new nucleus of the school. There was far too little space to serve the pupils and staff of the already expanding school, and so the first ten-year plan was developed, and the school started to grow, with a new music room and computer suite, a dedicated learning block for Years Five and Six, a gymnasium, and a purpose-built block housing the school's nursery and reception classes.
With the appointment in April 1996 of Mrs Vivienne Orloff as Headteacher and Joanna Walker as Deputy Headteacher in 1997, the school grew into the largest Jewish primary school in Europe. After leading the school for over 15 years, in December 2011 Mrs Vivienne Orloff retired. In 2005, the Michael Sobell Sinai school was chosen for one of the first national "short Ofsted inspections", for which only the top schools were chosen. On 25 September 2008, Michael Sobell Sinai School pupils interviewed the NASA astronaut Gregory Chamitoff through a live satellite link up while he was aboard the Space Shuttle.

Clover and Dime Pte Ltd Launch Panopedia Platform for the Creation of Virtual Property Tours
Panopedia, by Clover and Dime Pte Ltd, announces the go-to- market launch of its revolutionary platform for property owners, real estate agents and anyone with a space to promote. Developed in mid-2016, and insidiously adopted by tech and marketing- savvy property agents, Panopedia has to date, amassed a total of 6,000 virtual tours of various properties on its portal, making it the world's largest single repository of PanoTours.
Created as a hobby project with a "why not" from its young developers, the Clover and Dime team took the cool factors associated with anything virtual, anything 360 and anything immersive and combined them into a quirky, but eventually useful tool.
To their surprise, they found ready users and even investors at an early stage, willing to buy over the software and its rights from them. The team finally decided on the name Panopedia once they saw the global potential of their creation.
"Panopedia was coined because we realised that we could become like the encyclopedia of panoramic videos. This definition is so new that it's not even in the dictionary! At Panopedia, we provide a panoramic, 360 view of the space, making it more realistic and easier for people to visualize the actual space for their needs. In any case, we managed to marry many cool things to create a tangible product that seems to be much sought after in the property industry!" enthuses Randy Png, founder and main developer of Panopedia.
With the many offers to buy over his company, Randy realised that the company could set its sights on something bigger. "Panopedia's goal right now, is to create a lively, almost living portal, where property can be viewed in as close to their realistic states as possible, and even purchased. This factor alone helps property seekers filter out the unsuitable ones and allows both property agents and property buyers to save time. What you see is almost what you will get, give and take technical limitations," explains Randy. "More importantly, we save the most expensive premium of all – time – and this helps agents be more productive."
Panopedia also promotes itself as a marketing tool, to be used by savvy agents and property owners, to present their properties in a more engaging manner. To introduce its functionality as a marketing tool for F&B outlets, Panopedia has tied up with the Dine At Stevens enclave of 11 outlets, and CHUG, the drinking app, to help its F&B merchants create 360 videos of their premises which they may use to promote their venues for corporate events and functions.
"I believe that we can help businesses market themselves better by providing them easy-to-use and inexpensive tools like Panopedia. Technology can help them improve on their bottom line, and be more profitable as a whole," says Randy, referring to businesses in the F&B and retail industries, notorious for the short runway for shops to turn a profit and stay in business.
Indeed, it is this helpful attitude that has Panopedia to set its pricing a really affordable rates. Panopedia may be accessed through a monthly subscription plan, of which there are 3 tiers, from S$8 per month for five PanoTours to S$19 a month for up to 25 PanoTours and S$25 a month for 100 PanoTours.

Faulty crosswalk signal lights cause danger in CBD
As thousands of visitors make their way through downtown New Orleans this holiday season, there's a safety hazard that locals say is putting the pedestrians at risk.
About a dozen lights at pedestrian crosswalks are broken along Canal Street.
'Tis the season in the Crescent City.
But with all the decorations donning downtown, there are some essential lights in the dark that many are calling a safety hazard.
"You walk, you see traffic coming, then you see traffic stop and you kind of have to play that waiting game. it's like a roll of the dice every time you cross the street," said downtown worker Paul Loisel.
The pedestrian light at Canal and North Peters is out completely out.
So are the one at the intersection of Dauphine and Burgundy.
One even tells pedestrians to stop, however when it turns to give them the green light, the hand stays up as the walking sign illuminates giving conflicting directions.
Others give the stop sign, but the walking indicator never illuminates, confusing pedestrians.
Workers downtown say the lights have been this way for years and sends the wrong signal to visitors in the Crescent City.
"I see a lot of tourists and visitors come to the city and they're huddled up on the corner, hoping they're picking the best time to cross the street," said Loisel. "I think it's very important we take the opportunity to make sure our infrastructure matches the expectations of those tourists."
When contacting the city, a spokesman said they are aware that there is a problem with the downtown crosswalks and sent WDSU this statement, which reads in part:
"We are working to repair the crosswalk signals on Canal Street and encourage citizens to use standard precautions before crossing the street."
The city has the green light to start the downtown countdown timer project, which will add countdown timers to the existing pedestrian signals along Canal Street, similar to the ones on Magazine Street. The city also has the green light to add 20 new signals throughout the Central Business District.
There are also utility and wiring issues with the current crosswalks that this project will address.
"This being a major tourist area, I think it's important to get these things back up and running so our visitors are safe and come back to the city," said Loisel.
But the visitors will have to wait until next holiday season to see the changes since the project isn't expected to start until fall of 2014.
The timer project will also address the underground wiring issues many lights are experiencing right now.

Structured inquiry: a contradiction in terms?
The idea that classroom inquiry is, by its very nature, open and free has its origins in US progressive schools during the inter-war period. The First World War was a turning point in progressive circles as the doctrine of creative self-expression took hold:
The 'new education', as Dewey called it, defined itself in opposition to traditional classrooms and aimed to be everything they were not. Dewey characterised this as Either-Or thinking. The progressives counterposed the imposition of authority from above to the cultivation of individuality, external discipline to free activity and learning from textbooks to learning through experience. As Cremin observes, "In too many classrooms license began to pass for liberty, planlessness for spontaneity, recalcitrance for individuality, obfuscation for art, and chaos for education - all justified in the rhetoric of expressionism" (p. 207).
Dewey argued that just because traditional teaching emphasised external control of students' experiences and paid little attention to internal child-centred factors did not mean progressives were justified in their focus on the internal to the exclusion of the external. The traditionalists' violation of the principle of interaction from one side, he claimed, did not mean progressives should violate it from the other:
Dewey continues that children who escape the control of the traditional teacher have only the illusion of freedom if their actions are then controlled by whim and caprice. He concluded that, "Since freedom resides in the operations of intelligent observation and judgement by which a purpose is developed, guidance given by the teacher to the exercise of the pupils' intelligence is an aid to freedom, not a restriction upon it" (p. 71, my italics).
Trevor relates how agency shifts from the teacher to students as the year progresses. At the start his class learns through a structured inquiry model before transitioning to controlled inquiry and then pushing on to a guided approach. If the students are ready, Trevor finishes the year with a free inquiry. He explains why viewing inquiry as an open process from the start is problematic:
"In my experience, without flipping control in the classroom, empowering student learning, and scaffolding with the Types of Student Inquiry, students will not feel as confident, supported, or empowered through their inquiry journey.... By the time students encounter Free Inquiry, they have a variety of tools to help them successfully curb the perceived risks of inquiry." (pp. 27 and 30-31).
The types of student inquiry in Dive into Inquiry are similar to the levels published on this website. Both involve a gradual relinquishing of teacher control as students take a greater role in directing the inquiry. However, in my secondary school classroom it takes much longer to reach open inquiry. Students might be experiencing inquiry learning only in their mathematics lessons, which means it can take up to three or four years before students have the habits of mind and level of self-regulation to inquire independently.
Even then, I am aware that a class is never a homogeneous group. It is inconceivable to me that all students in a class will be engaged in exactly the same type or level of inquiry at any one time. As Kath Murdoch says in The Power of Inquiry, when the teacher begins to offer more choice through, let's say, a guided approach it is common for a few students to struggle to use their time effectively. One of the main reasons for this, Kath contends, is because the teacher has not sufficiently developed routines, systems and structures to support the student who finds self-direction challenging. In such circumstances, with control being yielded to the students, the teacher has to remain "a vital force in 'holding the space' and keeping students connected to their learning, accountable to expectations and, most of all, inspired" (p. 124). Indeed, Kath recently tweeted that inquiry is always guided in some way.

Paint was a project initiated by Interplay Theatre, it was the continuation of a project they had been working on for some years involving the experimental use of paint and working with disabilities. They asked us to run some workshop continuing this theme using FriiSpray. We worked with two schools in Yorkshire with an installation of FriiSpray accompanied with the cellist skills of Simon Mccory.
This project really pushed all aspects of FriiSpray, both the hardware, software and the Jam Jar team as creative practitioners. Hardware wise we had to develop new input devices such as infra-red pens, some with on/off switches and some that were always switched on. This enabled students with limited physical ability to be able to paint. Simon played the cello live to the students painting, this extra sensory addition added depth to the students expression enabling those who were more attune to audio stimulus to paint with this as a creative structure.
As well as using the Friispray software, we also used flash based programs, where a touch on the screen with a infra-red pen or spray can created flourishes of leaves, colours and sounds. We have always discussed different ways of human computer interaction as part of the Jam Jar Collective, but to see the expression by the students in these workshops, brought a simplicity to the tangible nature of friispray and other infra-red devices as a way of interacting with a computer.
The software at this stage was still in early development, since doing paint and other special education projects with Friispray we have decided to develop a interface specifically for this aspect of expression. Since doing the paint project we have partnered with Holly Bank Trust to develop all aspects of friispray and other ideas from Jam Jar for work in the area.
As creative practitioners we have all done workshops in the past with disabilities, but the paint project was one of the most challenging yet, each student had very different abilities both mentally and physically, Every student had to be treated differently, sometimes individually but sometimes the group collectively painted or engaged with the process. We learned a lot from all the people we have worked with and from the students we taught. One the many rewarding moments we had was a girl drawing herself with long hair. She had recently had her head shaved due to an operation and not expressed this to her carers since. This was one example of where friispray was used as a vehicle for expression from student to the carers.
We are currently developing the paint project in collaboration with Interplay Theatre over 2010.

We all have a unique identity, but what makes up our identity? Is it:
- the name or nickname we're known by.
- where we live.
- the place we're from.
- our age.
- our date of birth.
- our star sign.
- our hobbies.
- our clothes.
- our football team.
- the films, books or television programs we like.
- the things we do, people we know, places we go.
- the friends we speak to.
- the family or people we contact in case of emergency?
What really defines you?
Banks, mobile phone operators and other organisations use personal information to identify you. This is usually cross-referenced with passwords and/or a personal identification number (your PIN) to make sure that you are who you say you are.
How easily can people find out key information about you?
Fraudsters try to find out information so that they can pretend to be you and carry out illegal activities in your name. Methods they can use include:
- Sending emails pretending to be from a bank or other organisation and asking you to send them information (or enter it into a form) that they then use to take money from your bank account or to set up another account in your name.
- Befriending you in Internet chat rooms and asking you innocent-sounding questions that they can piece together to get a fuller picture about you.
- Getting you to download programmes to your computer that then spy on you by capturing information when you make an online payment, use social media or register for online services.
- Fitting equipment to cashpoint machines that steal your card details and spy on you as you enter your PIN.
- Telephoning you and asking you to send them your bankcard and your PIN.
- Distracting you at a cashpoint so you turn away as your money comes out of the machine or looking over your shoulder at a cashpoint machine to get your PIN and then stealing your card to access your money.
- Trawling social media sites e.g. Facebook, Twitter for information that hasn't been protected with privacy settings.
- Searching the Internet for information about people e.g. Google searches.
This Drama activity Who Are You To A Stranger? looks at how fraudsters can change their identity to steal yours.

While visiting different countries, we have seen some trend to subcontract farm raw milk collection to external operators. We think this can be very counter productive for the dairies to achieve the maximum efficiency. Nowadays, we see differences in collection costs between the in-house and out-sourced process.

That Congress prohibit the use of international intervention in foreign countries.
I've had that in my head since 1970 when I took debate as a high school sophomore!
That was the national forensic debate topic for the 1969-1970 school year. I actually dropped the class but I've had the words stuck in my brain since then. Right next to the song "It's A Small World After All".
I just googled it.
It's actually Resolved: That Congress should prohibit unilateral United States military intervention in foreign countries.
Oh, thank God! That makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE! For 43 years, I've been thinking What in the hell is international intervention???????
I wonder if I've got the words to "It's A Small World After All" all wrong.......
But anyway....
I like the idea of resolutions. New Year's Resolutions, birthday resolutions, Monday morning resolutions..... all kinds. That doesn't necessarily mean I DO them but I like the idea of making up my mind.
That's one of my personality traits I'm ambivalent about (speaking of making up my mind)...... I can go with most anything. You give me the Republican viewpoint and I'll truly think "Yeah, I can see that." You give me to Democrat viewpoint and I'll honestly think "Yes, I agree". You tell me that Christianity is the only way and I'll really think "Yes, we're on the same page". You tell me about Hinduism and I'll absolutely think "Yes, I'm there with you". You tell me it's best to breast feed until a child is four and I'll genuinely think "Yes, that's the road to attachment". You tell me that breast feeding a potty-trained child is secondary sexual abuse and I'll duly think "Uh-huh, I'm with ya".
I'm ambivalent about my ambivalence because ...... it makes for a good social worker and a good therapist, I think.
But, it's just so damned wishy-washy!!
And speaking of the Time cover this week, I want to announce to my little blogging world that I only breastfed Tyler for three days. That's right.
But we are attached. In fact, enmeshed.
Is it possible that if I had breast fed him longer, I could let go of him easier???????
But that's a different blogging topic. And one I don't want to go into.
Back to resolutions......
Three days ago, I resolved to blog every day for a week and to go to Curves for a month - in order to get myself back on track.... centered... uncockeyed.
It feels so much better to be resolved about something. It feels in control. Like I've reined in the internal wild horses. Wild pigs. Whatever.
The scales aren't showing it yet. I'm still back up to 206. But I still feel like I'm facing forward.
Thank you, God.
I love you guys. No matter your politics, religion, or breastfeeding beliefs.

A great barber he takes his time and like to be friendly to people he talks to them I totally recommend him 10/10
Nick P
Incredibly talented barber. A great conversationalist and a perfection artist in regards to the fit and finish of his craft. This is to date the cleanest haircut I have ever experienced. Ben takes his time to ensure that you leave looking your very best. Highly recommend!
Chris D
I've been going to see Ben for several months now, and I've never been disappointed. He takes his time, doesn't rush, and leaves me looking and feeling great! I can't say enough good things, just know that when you go see him here you'll be very pleased.
Colin H.
Dropped in because my regular place was too busy. Ben took great care of me. I will be back soon!
Had my first haircut this morning with Ben in Springboro. He did a great job, asking me how I wanted it and making adjustments as he went along, confirming exactly what I wanted. A good conversationalist and obviously concerned with doing well, I can recommend Ben as a professional and friendly barber! Thanks, Ben. Keep up the good work.

What the school says...
Surrounded by ancient forest and only 30 minutes from central London, Forest School is an independent day school located on the edge of Epping Forest. One of the very few diamond structure schools in the country, our 1,300 boys and girls, aged between 4 and 18, are taught in single-sex classes from 7-16 before joining a coeducational Sixth Form. Beyond the classroom, however, they enjoy all the benefits of a coeducational environment - the best of all worlds.
Our pupils are as busy outside the classroom as they are within it - a strong curriculum is supported by an equally strong co-curriculum programme, so our pupils can pursue their interests in music and the sporting field, for example, all while achieving outstanding GCSE and A level results. ...Read more

Other features
All-through school (for example 3-18 years). - An all-through school covers junior and senior education. It may start at 3 or 4, or later, and continue through to 16 or 18. Some all-through schools set exams at 11 or 13 that pupils must pass to move on.
What The Good Schools Guide says
Since 2016, Marcus Cliff Hodges (50s). An imposing man – looks tough and dynamic – but thoughtful, likeable and very easy to meet. A career schoolmaster in the very best sense of the word: an English degree from Cardiff plus a masters from the Institute of Education then teaching posts in Gstaad, followed by Bedford and the assistant headship at Latymer Upper. Hit the top spot (warden) at Forest after a spell as head of the boys' senior school and acting warden. No sense at all of his being overawed by the job – 'it's actually a very liberating experience' - and he is evidently devoted to a school he knows and understands intimately. A keen fisherman and mountaineer, he communicates calm dependability. Married with a teenage son (a pupil). 'Steeped in the place and a great appointment,' said one parent, adding, 'he's quite formal and old-fashioned in some ways. No bad thing.'
Selection for the pre-prep takes the form of a morning of low-key activities for which parents are asked – perhaps more in hope than expectation? - not to coach their children for the 32 places (16 boys and 16 girls). There are further entry points at 7+, at 11+ (the start of the senior school, at which point some 120 pupils are selected from at least 750 applicants) and 16+, where the school might well take in another 20 or 30 pupils, depending on availability.
Almost all the prep school pupils move into the senior school, unless families are relocating, and the same applies to the GCSE cohort. A few leave at this point, sometimes because of families relocating, and there will be a tiny contingent who decide it's not for them or who don't cut the mustard academically for the sixth form. This is a high-octane environment: six to Oxbridge in 2019 and almost all leavers go on to Russell Group universities. The broad base of subjects studied at university testifies to the school's academic range and depth.
Teaching and learning
A highly efficient and effective feel to the teaching backed up by excellent results. At A level in 2019, 35 per cent A*/A grades; 66 per cent A*-B. At GCSE in 2019, 75 per cent of all grades were 9-7. Maths, science, English and history appear particularly strong. Less obvious drive to continue with modern languages - take-up at A level is slight. Masses of (trained) support for those with organisational difficulties and specific learning difficulties. The overall sense is of very capable and determined teachers plus a school packed to the gunnels with bright students and a few very high flyers. 'It's a high-achieving school,' said one parent, 'but not a hothouse. That's suited us. I really hope that it stays that way'.
Teaching was judged 'excellent' in the latest ISI report and there is no sign of anything less than ongoing commitment. 'My teachers really mind,' said one girl, 'and it makes such a difference to the way we all work'. The warden agrees: 'There is masses of good practice,' he says, 'but the real challenge is to make teaching and learning tailored around each individual pupil. Not to pander to them, but to empower them.' Forest has made a big play of 'learning characteristics' – independence and flexibility being two of them. Teachers use these to check on their charges' progress.
Professional but pragmatic attitudes to special educational needs: basic screening tests are given to all pupils on entry and parents are told immediately if extra support is needed. A learning support department with four qualified staff lead the drive to help, whether that means specialist lessons to pupils or advising subject teachers how to contribute. There are no pupils on EHC plans, but about 80 currently have IEPs.
The great singularity of Forest is its diamond structure. Between the ages of 4 and 7, the school is fully co-ed. Between 7 and the end of GCSEs, classes are single-sex. Eating, recreation, sport and most other activities all take place together – it's just that boys and girls learn separately. At sixth form, they revert to co-ed. 'We haven't retained it as an historical curiosity,' says the warden. 'We believe in it. We think it's best.' As it is a one-site school, he has a valid argument that the school falls in the co-ed camp.
Sitting on 50 green acres on the edge of Epping Forest, sporty children are in clover. The facilities are astonishing – a sports centre on site and an Olympic swimming pool. Football, in the warden's words, 'is deep in the DNA of the school', but he believes that no one sport enjoys a monopoly of prestige. 'Having sufficient alternatives is critical if people aren't going to feel excluded,' he insists. The U15 footballers have recently been in the ISFA final, and hockey is making a strong comeback, with three U15 players (two girls and one boy) in the England squad. Girls' football is also booming and the school tries to cater to all tastes and talents, taking advantage of the Olympic velodrome, West Essex golf club and local rowing clubs. All pupils have to do four games or activity periods per week, right up to their last year. 'It's simple,' said one pupil, 'they want us to have something to think about as well as our work, otherwise, you can end up fretting.'
Very strong dance (musical theatre, street, ballet and tap) welds into performance. There's an annual multicultural music and dance spectacular – the so-called FUSION. Every house enters the annual house drama competition and the school theatre stages three major productions each year. The Michaelmas Play draws its cast from the whole school community. Recent productions include Oh What A Lovely War! and Dick Barton - Special Agent! They are rightly proud of old pupil Paapa Essiedu, who graduated from studying theatre studies here to playing Hamlet at Stratford. For the past five years at least one pupil per year has won a place at a musical conservatoire. Clear indications are appearing of the booming significance art, design and technology play in the life of the school.
Ethos and heritage
Began life as a proprietary grammar school in 1834. Forest's founders included the Spode industrialist, William Copeland, and the governor of the Bank of England, William Cotton. It grew sufficiently rapidly to have sacrificed some 100 old boys in the Great War but the big growth came in the last century, with girls being admitted in 1981.
The campus feels more like a well-ordered village rather than an institution, despite the number of pupils – modern, dynamic youngsters with an eye on what's happening next but without the brittle, jarring quality of some metropolitan children. The way in which they wear their uniforms, and interact with their teachers and each other, backs up their positive view of the school. One parent said: 'All types of pupils and all kinds of achievement are celebrated. The teachers set the example and the older pupils take their lead from them, and it seeps all the way down the school'.
The school communicates a palpable ethos of teamwork and service. DofE and CCF are both massively popular, and being linked to the Royal Green Jackets augurs a commendable degree of toughness. Civic engagement is highly prized: there is a close link to Haven House, a local children's hospice. 'We're not going to solve its funding,' says the warden, 'but our ongoing involvement is about more than money'. New initiatives are constantly springing up, most recently with pupils helping run a youth club in Chelmsford for young people with mental health issues.
The vast selection of lunchtime and after-school clubs show that Forest embraces irony as well as all that is wholesome. Warhammer and chess clubs, well-known destinations for some who are less than extrovert or athletic, enjoy prominence, as do those for Manfood and cake decoration. Alongside the medicine, engineering and law societies, those of a less squeamish disposition may enjoy time spent at the dissection society.
Pastoral care, inclusivity and discipline
Discipline is low key, but the school does not shy away from addressing occasional poor behaviour. 'We have most of the usual teenage issues to confront but I believe the safeguarding here is outstanding and that the whole ethos of pastoral care is embraced by the staff,' says the warden.
Forest is, depending on how you look at it, two schools (or even three), albeit on one campus and sharing the same ethos and genus: there's the pre-prep, the prep and the senior school - the latter divided into lower and middle schools and sixth form. Each has its own head of section who oversees pupils' academic progress.
Pupils' own tutors and housemistresses and housemasters look after pastoral care. Houses exercise a big hold on pupil identity as well as holding considerable importance in terms of school competitions (note – not just sport but also including art, dance, drama and MasterChef). There's also a chaplain (and a very beautiful school chapel) and compulsory year group services each week. It has a very Church of England feel but the susceptibilities of those of other faiths are carefully considered when it comes to hymn selection. 'I'd actually prefer it to be completely secular,' said a parent, admitting that was 'a minority view'.
Pupils and parents
Buses bring in children every day from places as far afield as Epping, Docklands and Highbury, although many pupils make their own way to school using the excellent public transport links. Liaison with parents is taken seriously: in addition to termly written reports and an annual parents' evening, there is a yearly information evening in September. 'This way parents become clued-up rapidly about what we see as important over the next 12 months, and it gives them confidence and a good reason to work with us,' says the warden. Lots of other events as well – the parental conference programme includes talks on revision, drug awareness, IT – but there is no sense that this is a school which would ever allow an 'in-crowd' of parents to emerge, and is all the better for it.
Distinguished alumni cover all bases: H Tubb and WJ Cutbill were founding members of the Football Association, and Paralympian equestrian Liz Stone won gold at Atlanta in 1996, whilst Ella Purnell and Nicola Walker are enjoying successful stage, TV and film careers. Less generally famous perhaps is squadron leader Geoffrey Wellum DFC, a renowned Battle of Britain spitfire pilot. He has credited Forest with giving him the spiritual support, courtesy of his time in chapel, to fight another day in the clouds.
Money matters
There is a range of scholarships and exhibitions, for both academic and musical prowess, as well as bursarial assistance, depending on means.
The last word
A powerhouse with a heart. The school has an immensely purposeful feel to it – no doubt influenced by the warden, but also by skilled and serious-minded teachers and parents.

Special Education Needs
As a matter of good practice we administer basic screening tests to all pupils on entry and notify parents if we believe that a pupil may need extra support or should be referred further for formal assessment. We employ an SEN coordinator who advises parents, offers support and specialist lessons to pupils and assists teachers in devising appropiate strategies for teaching. Our approach to pupils with SEN taking examinations (public and internal) is in line with accepted good practice. Although we have no statemented pupils, approximately 50 have IEPs. 09-09

from The Century Dictionary.
- noun The quality of being bashful; excessive or extreme modesty; timorous shyness; want of confidence. [Formerly, like
bashful, a term of commendation, equivalent to modesty.
- noun Synonyms Bashfulness, Modesty, Diffidence, Shyness, Coyness, timidity, sheepishness. Bashfulness, literally readiness to be abashed, designates timidity and a disturbed state of feeling at meeting with others, or being brought into any prominence. It is natural and not unbecoming to the young, but with advancing years seems a defect; it is often a transient state of feeling. Modesty goes deeper into the character; it is either a proper and becoming distrust of one's self and one's powers, or a high-minded freedom from assurance and assumption; it is always an excellence, unless explicitly said to be excessive. Diffidence is a defect; it is an undue distrust of self, with fear of being censured for failure, tending to unfit one for duty. Shyness is simply a constitutional shrinking from contact with others; it is the result of sensitiveness. Coyness is shyness where advances are made by others; a shrinking from familiarity, perhaps in a coquettish way.

Nuzhat al-Zaman bowed her head in bashfulness when she heard what he said and communed with herself,

Then we sat down to converse and I hung my head earthwards in bashfulness, but she delayed not long ere she set before me a tray of the most exquisite viands, marinated meats, fritters soaked in bee's536 honeys and chickens stuffed with sugar and pistachio nuts, whereof we ate till we were satisfied.
Steele mentions with great tenderness that remarkable bashfulness, which is a cloak that hides and muffles merit; and tells us, that his abilities were covered only by modesty, which doubles the beauties which are seen, and gives credit and esteem to all that are concealed.
It does not seem, indeed, as if men were ever born modest, unless we dub with the name of modesty a sort of purely physical bashfulness, which is nearer to pride than is generally supposed.
He exhibits a reserve, diffidence, and even bashfulness, which is in some degree attractive, and leads the observer to thinly that the ferocious and bloodthirsty character imputed to the race must be grossly exaggerated.

Steele mentions, with great tenderness, "that remarkable bashfulness, which is a cloak that hides and muffles merit;" and tells us, "that his abilities were covered only by modesty, which doubles the beauties which are seen, and gives credit and esteem to all that are concealed."
She replied not without timidity, but without that hasty bashfulness which is so often taken for modesty.
He had a kind of bashfulness that a married man would have lost.
There may be many difficulties in your way, such as bashfulness, want of fluent speech, awkwardness of manner, and ignorance.
