Church restoration is boosted by grant fund from heritage authority
PUBLISHED: 08:42 14 June 2019
An historic village church has secured a grant worth thousands of pounds which will allow it to begin an ambitious regeneration project.
All Saints Church in Rayne has been awarded a £77,500 grant from the Heritage Fund, part of the National Lottery, meaning work can begin on a project which will see renovations and other ventures involving the community.
Rev Beth Bendrey, rector of All Saints, said: "We've worked hard developing this project, in conjunction with the local community, and we are thrilled that the Heritage Fund has awarded us this grant, the largest ever received by All Saints. Whilst it does benefit the church, it also provides benefits to the local community."
The project, which focuses on increasing use of All Saints Church and promoting the church's history, aims to create a heritage trail with guided tours, provide learning opportunities for and with Rayne Primary School, working with local historians to understand the role of the church in Rayne and how it has changed from Tudor times, opening the church for research, repairing and redecorating the church, repairing damaged stained glass and installing an audio visual system.
The project is expected to cost about £100,000 and will commence within the next 18 months.
Katie Lambert, from Rayne Primary School, said: "Rayne Primary School pupils are looking forward to participating in the project. Our close link with the church will continue to support our learning and we are excited to learn more about the history of Rayne and the church."
There has been a church on the current site for at least 1,000 years. However, in the late 1830s the building was in a poor state of repair and most of it was pulled down and rebuilt, leaving only the Tudor tower, itself a later addition to the original building. There was a further small but significant extension in 1914, when the sanctuary was added.
A fundraising campaign for the church was launched last July at a cheese and wine evening where Bishop Roger Morris of Colchester spoke with members of the fundraising group.

Implementing new technology, competition, accountability and effective funding will be the key to preparing Arizona's children for the complex global marketplace that now awaits them, a panel of education experts said Tuesday.
But there was little consensus over the exact ways Arizona's K-12 education system needs to change in order to produce the best results, and the lawmakers, lobbyists and advocates who debated the topic at the Arizona Capitol Times' Morning Scoop discussion previewed how the next legislative session will try to grapple with possible solutions.
Rep. Doris Goodale, a Kingman Republican and chair of the House Education Committee, said the most daunting problem facing the public education system today is that it largely has not changed with the times.
"If Ben Franklin came back today, the only thing he'd recognize is our public education system," Goodale said.
And she also pointed out that the system of funding public education in Arizona has largely stayed the same for more than 30 years.
"We can no longer use a business model from 1980 for public education funding," she said.
Goodale advocated for increasing competitiveness between traditional public schools, charter schools and private schools.
Eileen Sigmund, CEO of the Arizona Charter Schools Association, said the benefits of the charter school system, which was created nearly two decades ago in Arizona, are just beginning to become evident, as the mechanism that evaluates student performance, then closes under-performing schools is only starting to take effect in Arizona.
"This only started in 2010," Sigmund said. "But we'll be actively closing schools that aren't improving student achievement."
While some panelists, including Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal, said the state's competitive education environment – due in large part to an early adoption of charter schools and tax credits that expand opportunities for students to go to private schools – is a boon for Arizona, Senate Minority Leader David Schapira said policy makers can't lose sight of the public school system. About 90 percent of current students in the state attend a traditional public school now, and the vast majority always will, he said.
"Right now we're letting our district schools fail, while we say, 'Oh, well, we have all these options over here with charter schools.' We can't let our school systems fail," Schapira said.
Huppenthal said schools need to improve on how they use technology, arguing that new research has shed light on promising methods to integrate blended learning environments, where traditional and computer-based learning are used in complement, reducing overall costs.
"It might be the silver bullet," Huppenthal said. "And if we can maximize academic value for our children with those technologies, we can bring physical education and arts back into schools."
Steve Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council, said he was encouraged by the discussion, and by Huppenthal's enthusiasm for boosting technology in Arizona's classrooms.
But while Zylstra said he looks forward to seeing how technology becomes a focus in improving Arizona's schools, the trend toward slashing education expenses to cope with massive state budget deficits presents an equal challenge that has to be dealt with.
"Profound education reform – that's going to be the No. 1 focus of the next session of the Legislature, now that the economy seems to be doing better and the jobs package has been passed," he said. "There's a lot of diversity of views on solutions, but one thing we all agree on is that funding can't go backward."
John Hartsell, the CEO of Hardsale Communications and prime sponsor of the panel, said the panelists demonstrated the disparate, and often partisan, ideas about improving education, which is important to understand before real progress can be made.
"No matter how strong a person's political ideology is, I truly believe that our elected officials have the best interest of students at heart," Hartsell said. "But we've seen an attack on schools in the past few years, and that's unfair. It's not a political issue."
Hartsell urged elected officials to find the common ground over the shared desire to achieve top-notch education for every child in the state, and to pay close attention to the researchers who are proposing solutions that will have widespread benefit, not for just one set of students.

I love hearing how people spend their money. Unfortunately, people lie — they share purchases that are socially acceptable ("organic fruit"), but not the purchases they really make.
So we created The Money Diaries (based off New York Magazine's Sex Diaries), where we've collected stories from real people about their spending habits over seven days and anonymized them. To be featured anonymously in a future Money Diary, click here.
In this week's post, an out-of-work Web developer is starting over from scratch financially at age 30. Given her financial and professional situation, what advice would you give her?
* * * * *
Day 1
8:00 a.m.: The latest hurricane has left us without power for the past 36 hours. No microwave. No hot leftovers. I convince myself going out for breakfast would be a waste of money and make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
9:00 a.m.: At the library—which has electricity—I spend time writing cover letters and sending out résumés. I also work on my personal project, concluding there's no possible way I can earn enough money from it before I run out of money in 3.5 months, and I don't have friends or family to tap for startup funding.
A 30-year-old Web developer living in CA, I've been out of work for 4 months, resting and figuring out the next stage of my life. Now almost broke, I'm starting to look seriously for a new job while traveling on the East Coast. Over the previous 2 years, I had paid off all debts (except student loans), saved $17,000 in cash and put $5,000 in an IRA.
Unfortunately, 7 months ago, I had an accident without health insurance and built up $13,000 in medical bills. A month later, I discovered my dog had cancer, and I spent $11,000 for multiple surgeries and chemotherapy. 2 months later, I had become so miserable at my job that I quit. My bills exceeded my liquid assets.
Deciding my IRA was the most important thing, I put $5,000 into that, only to discover the bank posted it for 2011 instead of 2010, causing me to lose $5k from my retirement anyway. I kept $5,000 in cash for myself and paid my bills with $7,000 in cash and $8,500 in credit card debt. I have $8,500 in unpaid bills and am keeping my eye out for when they send me to collections.
My boyfriend owes me money, so he is paying most of my living expenses, while my student loans and credit card payments are coming out of my $5,000 in cash reserves. I was actually ahead on my student loan payments before, so I don't owe anything for 10 months.
1:00 p.m.: Returning to my friend's place from the library, I give in to a $5 slice of pizza that turns into a $10 dinner, plus $5 tip—leaving anything less than a $5 tip is almost an insult. I put the $15 on the joint spending account I share with my boyfriend.
6:30 p.m.: The friends I am staying with decide to go out for pizza, and they nearly pay for my fried dough without my noticing! I argued, but they insisted on paying. I hate when people pay for me. I was raised in a poor household, and to me, paying for myself shows I am self reliant. Even though I chose to quit my job, and even though I'll survive 7 months without income, I'm still self conscious about my economic image.
8:00 p.m.: Back at the library with my friend, I continue looking for jobs. I'm happy I can ignore jobs that don't interest me. I decide to apply for a part-time job teaching Web development. Hopefully the salary is better than my worst-case estimate.
Day 2
8:30 a.m.: The owner of a cat sanctuary returns my call about my mother and grandmother adopting a cat.
10:00 a.m.: I'm at the library. It's the end of the month, and I have to do my finances. I'm a bit scared to see where I am at. What if my projections were wrong? What if I look at my checking account and find it's overdrawn? These are ridiculous fears, considering my projections for the past 4 months have been accurate.
I handle my finances once a month, paying then any bills not on autopay. I use Quicken because it tracks future expenses and provides a graphical projection of a given account. These projections help assure me I'm safe for the next 6 months and that it's OK for me to relax. Several years ago, I was so poor I had only $15 a week for groceries. Even after two years of economic comfort, I still have anxiety.
I share my savings account with my grandmother, so she can draw on it in emergencies (which, unfortunately, she has had a lot of lately). I feel awful that I only have the minimum $300 in there, instead of the $5,000 I promised her. I still haven't told her about my medical bills, because I don't want her to know I'm barely keeping my head above water.
My checking account now has $5,684.27. How did I get more money? When I left work 4 months ago, I only had $5,000. Sometimes I think money just magically appears. Even at my poorest, I always seemed to be able to scrape up money. The old me would have spent days figuring out the discrepancy, but to reduce stress, I'm going to let it go.
The interest on the $5,778.28 balance on my primary credit card this month was $62.66. I have been meaning to transfer the balance to a new credit card with a 0% promotional rate, but I don't want a fifth credit card. My indecision is costing me money.
It turns out I messed up my projections for our primary joint account, so we'll be overdrawn by $55 by the end of the month. I will contribute $200 for this month to cover the shortfall. I texted my boyfriend a reminder that he needs to put $2,650 into our joint account for the next month's expenses.
2:45 p.m.: I finally finished doing my finances!
4:30 p.m.: The good news is the electricity turned on a few minutes ago. The bad news is my friend who picked me up at the library might lose her job.
Day 3
8:45 a.m.: I wake up to crying and run downstairs to find my friend in tears and her mother comforting her. She was fired. Her earned overtime, two weeks of pay, vacation, and severance compensation come to over $4,000—two months of living expenses. I advise her to use that time to rest and build her portfolio.
10:30 a.m.: My friend and I hunt for jobs. I find an incredibly awesome prospect and draft a cover letter.
11:00 a.m.: I decide to create a portfolio website for my friend to help her be more competitive while job hunting and to improve her salary prospects. This 2-3 week project means dramatically less time for me to work on my own job applications and projects. I try to talk myself out of it, but can't. I can't stop giving to others, even at the sacrifice of myself.
11:30 p.m.: I was so excited about going to the cat sanctuary tomorrow that I couldn't stop thinking about the cats. I am going to buy for my parents all supplies the cats will need.
I shopped on Amazon until 2:30 in the morning! It was a lot of fun. I like "window shopping" on Amazon, building wish lists, putting items in my cart…and then not buying anything! I have no problem walking away from my full shopping cart and coming back to it weeks or months later. I get the satisfaction of shopping without spending money. Win win in my book.
Day 4
9:00 a.m.: I reviewed my selected cat supplies on Amazon. The total is now $147 without shipping. Not bad.
11:00 a.m.: The owner of the cat sanctuary and I decide on two male cats that would be perfect for my grandmother. Next step: get the OK from my parents.
11:45 a.m.: My friend decided to cancel a job interview for a position that's totally beneath her. Thank goodness!
6:30 p.m.: I finished off the last of my leftovers. Between the two sets of leftovers, I spent around $28 for 5 meals. $5.60 a meal isn't as much of a deal as I thought it would be.
9:30 p.m.: My boyfriend returned hungry from his visit in New York, so I gave him the other half of my sandwich. At $7.22 for two meals, it comes to $3.61 per meal.
Day 5
9:00 a.m.: The four of us go out for breakfast on main street. My boyfriend insists we pay for everyone. The total comes to $28.24, which we put on our joint account.
10:45 a.m.: I called my grandmother to talk about the cats. She said they sounded great and that she'd love to adopt them!
11:00 a.m.: I called the owner of the cat sanctuary with the good news. She tells me the typical donation requirement is $125 per cat, but since we are taking two cats and neither needed medical care, that I can donate whatever I want. I want to be generous, so I had planned to give $100 more than their asking donation, which would come to $350.
My boyfriend said he would be happy to pitch in on this as a gift, so I should put all the expenses on our joint account. I declined. This was my idea and my responsibility, so I should pay for it.
12:30 p.m.: We arrived in Providence, RI and had sushi for lunch. After tip and taxes, the total came to $34.08.
2:30 p.m.: We stopped by my old favorite pet store on our way to the dog park. I walked in knowing I wanted to buy something, and left having spent $112.84 from our joint account.
Day 6
1:45 p.m.: Headed to New Hampshire to visit my parents.
7:00 p.m.: Went out to dinner with my parents and my boyfriend, who elected to pay the whole $69.98 from our joint account. I'm a bit nervous; after breakfast ($17.85) and getting gas ($44.50), we only had $100 left, and I'm not sure we have enough money to cover it.
8:30 p.m.: Bought my parents the cat supplies on Amazon. The total had grown to $180, and feeling anxious, I chipped the purchase down to $155 and put it on my personal credit card.
10:00 p.m.: Received an email from my roommate saying our landlords received a lien notice on their house! Ugh. I am so embarrassed. I should have found out exactly why I wasn't receiving the garbage bills, instead of just waiting around.
Day 7
7:30 a.m.: Sent an email to my landlord profusely apologizing for the lien. I am embarrassed beyond words.
9:30 a.m.: Stopped off at Subway for two sandwiches and water, for $12.54.
10:30 a.m.: We arrived at my friend's house again. Her boyfriend tells us she's at her new job! I am astonished and disappointed. Taking the wrong job because she's anxious about money could seriously jeopardize her long-term career. She was given two months of expenses and yet couldn't wait a week to polish up her portfolio.
11:00 a.m.: My boyfriend wants to cook lunch for all of us and the dog. $35.50 for groceries and $39.90 for gas, on the joint account.
7:00 p.m.: My friend finally comes home from her job. Fortunately, it's a contract position, which gives me hope that she will find a good job for herself. We talk a lot about her anxiety and I coach her on how to be more confident in herself. Then my friend and I head to Staples. Fortunately, I resist buying anything.
In Sum
Total expenses: $1714.62
Total income: $0
$222.43 on food, despite my desire to reduce food expenses; from my joint checking account
$222.54 for other expenses; on the joint account
$519.65 added to my overburdened personal credit card
$750 for the cats, replacing a lost dog license, putting money in our joint account, and my credit card
In reading back, I realize just how anxious I really am over money. Regardless of the fact that I am trying to preserve my current cash supply, I still appear to have residual issues. Expenses add up. However, despite that, things always manage to work out, and because of that, I feel it is OK for me to not stress about my finances.

(a) All large certificated air carriers are placed into three basic air carrier groupings based upon their level of operations and the nature of these operations. In order to determine the level of operations, total operating revenues for a twelve-month period are used. The following operating revenue ranges are used to establish air carrier groupings:
For reporting purposes, Group I air carriers are further divided into two subgroups: (1) Air carriers with total annual operating revenues from $20,000,000 to $100,000,000 and (2) Air carriers with total annual operating revenues below $20,000,000.
(b) Both the criteria for establishing air carrier groupings and the assignment of each air carrier to a specific group of carriers will be reviewed periodically by the Director, Office of Airline Information, to assure the maintenance of appropriate standards for the grouping of carriers. When an air carrier's level of operations passes the upper or lower limit of its currently assigned carrier grouping, the carrier is not automatically transferred to a different group and a new level of reporting. The Office of Airline Statistics will issue an updated listing of the carrier groups on an annual basis. A carrier may petition for reconsideration of its assigned carrier grouping or request a waiver from the accounting and reporting requirements that are applicable to a particular group under

One of the things I'm going to miss most about this shop is that we're in our eclectic building with mazes of hallways and stairs and ramps and elevators. It took me a while to figure out all the turns, but one of my favourite things to do is to wander the halls with Caleb, and now, for just a few short months, the new baby.
These hallways have been a lifesaver on stormy or cold winter days, a place to get out and stretch our legs, but also they've been a source of excitement and fun and adventure. There are signs all over the place people have put up, directing them to their own unit with arrows and directions, and I've bumped into delivery guys all the time lost or asking for directions. Stairs and freight elevators and ramps and drainage holes and all sorts of people.
I remember when Caleb was just a little guy, and he had started walking quite early, and he would casually plod along the hallways, occasionally stopping to look in doors. People wouldn't see me just a dozen steps ahead or behind and they would be delighted or confused and come out into the hallway to laugh and see who this little baby was in his onesie and stripey shoes, walking along.
And now he's tearing along up and down and around me in circles. Tea in hand, baby on back, wandering through these halls.
Caleb's favourite thing to do, is to hover and loiter around the bicycle repair shop. There's a lovely and funny dog there (the only reason why I acquiesce to this), but Caleb's greatest hope is that they'll be repairing the bicycles out in the hall. He's too shy to actually go look into the workshop, but every once in a while they have a bike out by the door, and someone or a few guys are out there inspecting and using tools and spraying things. They're all super nice there, but of course Caleb is a bit too shy to actually go up to them, and just wants to supervise.
Even after everyone has gone back into the repair shop, and I've finally dragged him away, he continues to ask if we should stick around, or go back and see what's going on. "Do you think we should go back, mama? Do you think we should go back and see? Now?"
We're down to nearly one month left in this place. It's surreal and a bit scary. It's very exciting, and I love how everyone who comes into the shop says: "amazing! I'm so excited for you guys! Can't wait! This is going to be fabulous!"
But it's also a little bit of Jon getting off the phone and saying: "Liz your sink in the back of the studio shop is going to cost me $800 just to get the drawings and get the permit and that doesn't even count actually buying the sink or having the plumber come and do the plumbing or having contractor install it." We need to wash out pens, Jon.
There's no denying that our shop and family and staff-family are growing,* although sometimes I wonder about the growth of a business and the joys of running a small and intimate business.** With all of this growth are huge learning curves in every way for us.
The other day someone commented on the Wonder Pens Instagram account asking why I don't name all of the items in my photos, making it easier for people to buy these things. I think he was a little frustrated that it was so hard to figure out what was in my photos so he could look up more details on them. At first, I didn't really have an answer – he did sort of have a point about how I'm running a stationery shop, and I should be selling all of my stationery items that I'm so excited about.
As we grow, I know I need to be more and more "strategic" about our social media and how we post things, and I know especially now as we approach this big move, the main shop moving to the west end, and our new, smaller studio shop opening sometime mid-summer (everyone please continue your nightly rain dances and/or petitions to city hall to get us through permits and zoning), we're sort of bulging forward into a new level of growth, and I need to be more thoughtful and intentional in how and what I post.
I can't deny that gives me a little bit of the heebie jeebies to think I'm just "selling" you all the time – we found each other, I think, because we love stationery! And pens and paper and writing and fresh notebooks and the sound of something making a mark on a page. And yes, I know that I need to sell things to pay the staff and the rent and the diapers, but I guess I'm sort of hoping that those of you who follow along on our blog and Instagram are following our journey and growth and finding inspiration in seeing how we use things and finding new items that might spark something in your own writing or drawing. And if you happen to find something you need, that's just terrific, because hopefully that transaction between us makes you happy and keeps the lights on here.
I hope you are indeed writing or drawing or note-taking with something, and while we're always here with enthusiasm if you need something new to jump start your brain or to replace something broken or just to have a little fun, I hope that the stories we share here are more than just selling stuff. I'm optimistic enough that there is enough business to go around to last us another day, and if things start drying up, then I'll have to try another strategy, or maybe it'll be too late but boy, will we have had a fantastic run and a lot of stories to tell.
I know I've hit a rough patch that I need to re-navigate if the people who are following me are getting frustrated – the more and more I do this, the more I see that there's a science to cracking SEOs and algorithms (no idea, don't ask me), but an art to telling a story.
We are telling our stories about the handwritten word not dying but in fact coming alive on the page as more and more folks across all demographics and ages are finding writing again, and the story of small family businesses surviving and growing in big cities with abundant, abundant red tape and massively inflating commercial rent, and the story of how I'm writing in my journals and on paper and in correspondence with treasured friends around the world.
I like the idea that despite distance and time and all the other things that might separate you from walking into our shop, I can wish you a Happy Chinese New Year, with a photo of beautiful stationery, because that's what you and I both love, and that's our wish for you – a happy new year or happy afternoon with coffee and some pens with ink and a few bright hours of sun. I don't want to wish you a Happy Chinese New Year in order to sell you something.
Yes, of course social media is the place for showing off shiny new things and big and small announcements, but what we're really trying to do is help people write again. Offering the supplies they need to write, and the inspiration to get the ink flowing. I want you to use the things you get from us! Or from anywhere. I want your leather to have patina on it, I want your notebooks to have crinkly pages, I want you to experience the deeply-satisfying thrill of an empty ink bottle.
Our story is that writing by hand can be personal and powerful and tactile and connect you to ideas and people, hopefully including us.
That's all to say, as we grow we're still figuring things out. I'm still figuring out how to balance telling our stories with helping you find what you need, but we are so glad for your support and friendship over these years that we've sprouted up from a fledgling shop with no sign*** on the window to trying to figure out the logistics of moving a warehouse with metal shelves that are tied together with rope.
*We're still hiring! And who wouldn't want to come work with us now, at this exact point in time, ready to pack up dozens (hundreds?) of boxes of paper and packing supplies and ink and stack and carry it all into and out of trucks and cars and across the city while supervising a dog and a cat running amok and possibly holding babies.
**While of course there is joy in running a small and intimate business, there are also significant joys in not working 7 days a week and 16 hours days and being able to go to a doctor's appointment or have a baby without shutting down the shop and having any sort of extremely limited financial stability that comes with not running a teeny tiny operation where you're sitting with your fingers crossed wondering if someone is going to walk through the door and buy something so you can go home and have dinner.
***Actually, we did have a sign at 906 Dundas West, despite several customers expressing concern that we didn't. It was just a very small decal sign, not very well placed (by yours truly) low on the window, not visible to the street due to cars parked in front of the shop. The cost of replacing the current awning was truly astronomical for a small business, so we just lived with telling people on the phone to look for a faded "Global Travel" on the top. Learning curves.

The tsunami unleashed by a massive 8.8 magnitude quake off Chile has killed at least four people and left 11 others missing on the remote Robinson Crusoe islands.
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet sent two aid ships, two helicopters and a plane to the small archipelago of some 600 inhabitants more than 700 kilometres offshore in the Pacific Ocean.
The casualties were confirmed by Ivan de la Masa, the governor of Valparaiso, the nearest city on the Chilean mainland.
A huge wave measuring 2.34 metres crashed onto the Chilean coastal town of Talcahuano just after the quake struck.
The quake has left at least 214 people dead, though officials warned the toll could rise.
A team of French marine archaeologists working in the archipelago on the wreck of a Spanish galleon could not immediately be reached despite several attempts to contact them.
Their leader Arnaud Cazenave de la Roche spoke by telephone to AFP earlier this week.
The Robinson Crusoe islands get their name from the hero of Daniel Defoe's novel, whose adventures were based on those of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor marooned there in real life by his captain in 1704.

This year has just flown right by....Submitted by trifecta-admin on Fri, 11/22/2019 - 15:56
This year has just flown right by. I can't believe the holidays are here. As I reflect back on this year I am overwhelmed with the feeling of gratitude. Glo-Marr continues to thrive each year and we have now been manufacturing for over a half century, 54 years. Personally, I will be celebrating my 30th year working here in 2020. I am so grateful to be a part of the pet industry. However, more than anything, I am thankful with realizing the blessing of working alongside my family. Family is everything.

Teenagers Scolded For Running Down The Up Roosevelt Island Subway Station Platform Escalator - Teens Deliberately Tried To Break Subway Escalator Says Resident
A Roosevelt Island resident reports:
On Tuesday 1/19/16 at about 5:30 pm I saw several teenage males racing down the lower level escalator in the Roosevelt Island subway station. They took large jumps and landed on the bottom step with all their might.Here's what happened when one man tried going down an
Image Of Roosevelt Island Escalators at Lower Level Platform
They then raced to the escalator that goes from the downtown platform up to the mezzanine and ran down those steps, against the stair flow. Perhaps they executed a similar maneuver, although I could not see what they did.
About a minute later, I approached three teenagers on the platform, as I saw them laughing. I told them what they had done was not in the least funny. Other teenage males joined the group. Two other Island adult male residents approached the group of six and scolded them for breaking the escalator. When one adult asked if they lived on the Island, they mocked him and laughed.
In the attempt by the adults to have a rational discussion, several of the teens were egging each other on. They mocked the three adults, while a fourth adult went to the police cabin at the end of the platform to report the misconduct. (There was no police officer on duty at the time.)
I said to the two adults, "Let's take a picture," since it was clear that the young men did not believe they had behaved inappropriately. One adult took out his cellphone, but the teens ran away from the adults.
This incident is disturbing because of the deliberate effort the teens made to break the escalator and their complete disregard for the consequences of their reckless behavior.
I wonder if any of this activity was captured on a video camera in the station.

It is 1976 and Vanessa's mother is traveling to Mexico on a regular basis to receive treatment for her leukemia. Despite their promise, these treatments (which are not approved for use in the United States) are not helping and soon Vanessa's mom breaks the news that she is terminal. Vanessa and her two sisters are struggling with the knowledge that everything they do is probably the last time with their mother. Vanessa finds some comfort in her piano playing even though she can't consider the possibility of attending a conservatory what with all the turmoil that already exists in the family. She is also finding solace from Caleb, another cancer patient who comes to stay with their family so that he and his mother won't have to travel so far to get to the clinic in Mexico. But it turns out that sometimes there are things worse than cancer.
The more I reflect on this book the more I find myself annoyed with it even though I gave it three stars. I see many other reviews mentioning the exquisite writing style but to me the writing was in the style of other books I've read recently and haven't liked. It seemed somewhat hazy and detached - almost purposely low key as if to make a point about contrasting the writing style with the outrageous events that are happening in the plot. We Were Liars is an example of another book written this way. It feels pretentious and I don't like it.
About 2/3 of the way into the book Vanessa goes to visit her music teacher. Her teacher has pictures of her two grown sons, Jackson and Philip. Then there is this passage:
"She taps Jackson. 'He was drafted the first year of the war. He died after a few weeks in Vietnam.'
That would have been in 1970. He's been dead for six years, since before I met Mrs. Albright."
I stopped reading there to ponder that and to try to think about what I knew about the Vietnam War. I was pretty sure it started before 1970 so I went to a few websites to double check myself. Sure enough, the war started many years before 1970. Then I went back and reread the passage about ten times thinking that I must've somehow misinterpreted it. Surely the author didn't say that the war started in 1970, right? I couldn't come up with a different way to look at that. Then I ran it by my husband and a close friend and neither of them could think of a different way to interpret that. So I have a real problem with that and, as you can obviously see, it completely drew me out of the story.
I wonder sometimes if people love books or movies simply because they didn't see the twist coming. Is it the M. Night Shyamalan effect? I DID see the twist coming and even guessed what it was so I can't separate that out from my overall impression, but I am speculating that some of the rave reviews are based on the surprise readers had about that revelation. In regards to that twist, more should've been explained about Dad's need to protect the kids. The basis for his fear and the danger they faced was not explicit and I think it would be unclear to some readers.
Another issue was
brought to my attention by another reviewer on Goodreads. She wrote
about the blurb on the back that makes a big point about how the
neighbors call the sisters brats and despise them. However, this is not
or barely mentioned in the book. It seems to me that everyone is
pretty nice to them. Certainly people at school are supportive. Is
this from an earlier edition of the book or is it just a way to try to
hook readers?
Adrienne's character felt overly dramatic and poser-ish although I have certainly known people exactly like her. The swearing is an issue for me in terms of selling the book to readers because it shows up very early. On page six she says "shit-faced rat fucker" in one of the few references to why people don't like them. That doesn't mean anything when it comes to having the book in my library collection, but having the f word so early in the book makes it difficult to put it on any sort of list that could be considered "required" in any way.
Are there more issues? Probably but this is enough for now. Except that I will say this has a very bad cover as well. That is not the author's responsibility but she ought to consider saying something to the publisher for any future editions. I'm not getting any of the references on there and even if it all tied into the story somehow, it will not sell to teens at all.

ERP System Enables Gearmaker to Achieve Needed Agility
ERP software enabled a New York gearmaker to improve scheduling practices to meet the increasing demands of customers.
#casestudy #gearproduction
For years, Gear Motions managed its business with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that lacked the ability to track data in real time. It relied on users to manually input data in order to update the system. Because of this, changes to schedules or supplier deliveries could render it useless. Without real-time information on stock and machine space availability, the company's ability to accurately quote potential customers suffered at a time when customer demands were increasing.
Three divisions comprise western New York's Gear Motions, which distributes its products domestically and abroad. The company's services include gear grinding and cutting; turning; milling and drilling; broaching and keyseating; inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) grinding; ID honing; and inspection. It can manufacture gears ranging from a fraction of an inch to as large as 6 feet in diameter.
Featured Content
Providing this array of services became increasingly difficult to schedule and cost because customers want product a lot quicker than they used to, says plant manager Dan Bartelli. Jobs that used to take eight to 10 weeks to complete are now expected in three to five weeks, he says.
The time crunch provided a significant challenge to the business. Cutting machining time in half meant that supplier delays and machine scheduling could significantly affect its ability to meet customers demands.
Making Information Accessible
To remedy this, Gear Motions turned to Global Shop Solutions' ERP system, which was able to provide accurate, up-to-date information on all aspects of the company's operation. According to materials manager Dan Sierotnik, "Information from suppliers automatically updates, and it pulls information from different parts of the company together to make scheduling more intuitive."
Various modules comprise the software to provide detailed information about the shop, including which jobs are in progress, who is logged into a machine, what order a user is working on and how far along a job is. According to Suzanne Waters, director of accounting and information technology, the ERP system helps get the product out quicker by providing a more global view of the shop floor. "It also helps us order and purchase materials more efficiently by showing what we have in inventory, how much we need to order and the lead times for purchasing those materials," she says. Further, as a modular product, the shop only needs to implement the modules that specifically speaks to its needs.
One of the biggest draws for Gear Motions was the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) module, which assists in scheduling jobs. "Scheduling with APS enables us to execute more effectively because it gives detailed views from a job, department and entire shopfloor perspective," Mr. Bartelli says. "It provides many different ways to slice and dice the data, so we can tell what we need to do and when to meet tighter shipping deadlines." This provides the company with better information for both short- and long-term planning.
Mr. Bartelli says he feels confident in the data's accuracy and uses it to make necessary adjustments to meet customer deadlines. "The system automatically updates the data every five minutes, so we can see exactly what's going on in the shop in real time," he says. "This allows us to act in the moment rather than looking at a report a month later and saying we should have done something differently."
The Supply and Demand module has also proven to be helpful. It enables the user to bring numerous pieces of data together on one screen, including work order, sales and purchase history. By bringing this data together in an easy-to-understand format, the system enables Gear Motions to be more accurate in costing and quoting. "It gives us a very efficient quality check process to make sure we did things right and correct things when we did not," Ms. Waters says.
Reinforcing Company Culture
The company uses the ERP software to create custom Crystal reports. One of these reports tracks output for machine operators on a daily basis, providing a powerful feedback tool for improving performance and accountability. According to Ms. Waters, the company prints a copy of this report and gives it to all machine operators each day. The report shows which jobs they worked on the day before, when they started and ended, how many parts they completed or scrapped, and so on. It also identifies setup time, indirect time and whether they forgot to log in or out of a particular sequence, she says.
However, the company says it does not use the reports punitively. It is not a tool for spying, but for helping operators to review their work and make corrections. "The report gives operators the ability to validate their input from the day before and make adjustments when needed," Mr. Bartelli says. "They also like seeing how their performance compares to engineering standard." The company worked hard to create a culture of feedback and open communication. Providing reliable performance data without judgment is part of maintaining that culture.

One of New York's best-known contemporary painters, Alyssa Monks—famous for her striking photo-realistic images—continues to wow with her 2014 series. The thirty-seven-year-old's unique figurative style, combined with the way she manages to capture intense human expression, creates an immediate emotional connection with the viewer. Her portraits are especially engaging: eyes filled with emotion, her subjects stare directly and deeply into the audience, plunging the viewer into a very honest moment, almost of conversation, with the portrait.
Compared with Monks' 2013 bather series—in which she painted her subjects taking a bath or shower behind water, steam or glass as a filter—most of her 2014 works are presented without any pictorial barrier between subject and audience. The result exposes every facial expression and surface as pure emotional narrative. On Monks' website, she explains that she arrived at this point through an obsession with realism, until it evolved—or dissolved—into something more:
She has also created one-word titles for her works, such as 'Love', 'Loss' and 'Misunderstood' to focus us on a single emotion for her subjects; yet through her signature hyper-realistic representation, Monks makes us realize how complex each emotions can be. It's almost a confrontation.
If you happen to be in the New York area and would like to experience Alyssa Monks' larger-than-life works, consider yourself lucky: Monks has two upcoming shows in NYC; Art Southampton 2014 with NYAA on July 24th through 28th, and the New York Academy Summer Exhibition at Flowers Gallery, which opened on June 19th.
Alyssa Monks was born in 1977 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. She is traditionally trained with a B.A and MFA, and also studied painting at Lorenzo de'Medici in Florence, Italy. Along with her numerous shows in the United States, she has earned several international exhibits and awards. She is also an educator: Monks has taught Flesh Painting at the New York Academy of Art, as well as Montclair State University and the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS Snow Funwear
Through the selection of the best high-tech materials and our sophisticated Growing System, WeeDo Snow Funwear incorporates longevity.
Our snowsuits are waterproof, breathable and will keep up with any adventure our kids experience day after day.
Here are a few pointers for the right care - so your child has even more pleasure in his snowsuit.
Only wash if absolutely necessary - for the sake of the environment *!
Small stains can often be removed with a damp cloth. For airing, you can simply hang the suit outside for a few hours.
Wash only in the gentle program at maximum 30 ° C.
DO NOT tumble dry!
Hang on a hanger to dry. On the left things may dry faster, this is especially true for the gloves.
So the suit stays waterproof and breathable
Durable Water Repellancy Impregnation is the main reason that our snowsuits are waterproof and breathable. After several washes, this effect subsides, but it can be easily reactivated.
Reactivate the DWR impregnation after washing
Just put a damp cloth on the fabric from the outside and iron LOWER temperature about it. As if by magic, the heat reactivates the water-repellent properties. Never iron too hot, because that would ruin the fabric!
* At WeeDo we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint. That is why we work with the most environmentally friendly materials and prioritise longevity e.g. through our growing system and a planned reseller group on Facebook.

New Album 'BAD BLOOD RISING' out 10th NOV Worldwide.
SANTA CRUZ is a Finnish modern hard rock band formed on the hot summer of 2007 in Helsinki by Archie and Johnny. With the mutual aspiration of playing their rear ends off and kicking people's derrieres the two teens shared the same goals and similar same passion for a band to be. Inspired by greats as Skid Row and Guns N' Roses, the name Santa Cruz was chosen as the title of their vision of a perfect hard rock band. In the beginning of the following year, Middy joined in to play the bass. A year and a half (and two drummers) later Taz was found to man the drum throne permanently, cementing the line-up of the 4-piece band.
Introducing themselves to a larger audience in the semifinal stage of the Finnish nationwide band competition Ääni ja Vimma in 2009, Santa Cruz released two demos in 2008–2009, the latter of which, "Another Rush Of Adrenaline", received remarkable reviews on the media. Word of mouth about Cruz crew's explosive stage presence and rabble-rousing shows spread like wildfire, resulting in a lengthy succession of shows (the band played well over a 150 shows while still in demo stage) which in turn established the band as the hardest working men of metal mayhem in Finland.
Watch 'River Phoenix' the first single from Santa Cruz' upcoming third album.

How To Avoid Wear and Tear Damage To Your Wood Kitchen Cabinetry
Like anything else your wood kitchen cabinetry is subject to wear and tear. To keep your wood kitchen cabinetry looking beautiful for years to come follow these simple tips.
Avoid Moisture Damage
Avoid draping damp clothes or dishtowels over cabinet doors. This moisture can cause permanent damage — such as peeling and discoloration — to the cabinet's finish.
Avoid Heat Damage
The heat generated when using an oven's self-cleaning feature is much greater than during normal cooking. If this heat escapes from the oven, it can damage your cabinets. While this is a rare circumstance, you can minimize the risk of wood kitchen cabinetry damage by removing cabinet doors and drawers nearest the oven before using its self-cleaning feature.
Avoid Light Damage
Exposure to direct sunlight tends to darken the color of natural wood kitchen cabinetry products. Sunlight can also fade painted wood surfaces and laminated surfaces. You should consider draperies or blinds to shield your cabinets from direct sunlight.
Avoid Scratches Gouges and Nicks
Most scratches and nicks occur when we are in a hurry or trying to do too many things at once. It is easy to grab a heavy pot or pan and hit the cabinet with it on the way out or when putting it away. Arranging your cabinets so you have easy access to the things you use most and plenty of clearance for larger items can help. Knives or sharp utensils kept in drawers should be anchored with drawer liner or utensil trays so they do not slide around and potentially create nicks and scratches inside the drawers. You may have children who play with toys in the kitchen, especially the riding kind that can unknowingly dent or bruise lower cabinets. Pets can also unknowingly cause damage to your fine wood kitchen cabinetry. It is best to keep play and pets out of the area where cabinets are.
A Touch-Up Kit may be available to hide small surface damage. Contact the place of business where you purchased your cabinetry to purchase the color-matched touch-up kit for your specific cabinets. Use the kit's touch-up pen to hide minor blemishes. Use the kit's tinted putty stick to fill small scratches, gouges or nicks. Detailed instructions are provided in each kit.
If you have deep or severe damage, it is best to contact your kitchen pro for repair advice.

Reasons Why People Consider Bankruptcy Services In Scottsdale
Credit Card Debt
If you carry a high credit card balance and are not in the position to pay the balance or the amount you'd need to pay seems unrealistic, that's a sign of financial trouble. Credit card debt is often considered "unsecured debt." This type of debt could be discharged if you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Medical Debt
According to statistics, medical bills have overtaken credit card bills as the leading cause of bankruptcy. If you have a large amount of unsecured debt, which can include medical bills, you may consider Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This may be what you need to get a fresh financial start. If you have a large amount of medical debt, bankruptcy might offer you some peace of mind.
Borrowing From Your Retirement Account
If you're borrowed funds from your retirement account to pay debts or are considering it, that's a red flag that shows you're financially overwhelmed. It's a bad idea to pay off your dischargeable debt using your retirement money. Once you use this money it's unlikely you'll be able to replace it. That means you may be in deeper financial trouble when it comes time for you to retire.
Repossession and Foreclosure
If you're about to lose your car to repossession or your home to foreclosure, you should contact your bankruptcy lawyer to discuss the available options. Filing bankruptcy might stop a vehicle repossession or home foreclosure in its tracks. Bankruptcy may offer you the opportunity to save the valuable assets you worked hard to acquire.
Creditor Harassment
If you're getting harassing or threatening messages and calls from creditors about your debts, you should understand the filing for bankruptcy can stop this harassment. Filing for bankruptcy can prevent creditors from communicating with you in any form, including demand letters and calls. This can help give you some peace.
Wage Garnishment
If part of your paycheck is being taken through garnishment because you owe money, it's a sign of trouble. A garnishment can take a significant amount of money from your paycheck. This could put you deeper in the hole because you won't have money to invest or save. You'll end up trying to make ends meet while living paycheck to paycheck. When an emergency arises you won't have the funds to handle it.
Poor Credit
Many people believe bankruptcy will permanently ruin their credit. However, this is not true. Your credit rating will initially take a hard hit, however, you can immediately begin to rebuild your credit after the bankruptcy is discharged. After you're relieved of your current debt and have a chance to reorganize your finances, your credit score will increase. When you begin to make better financial decisions, a bankruptcy filing can help improve your credit over time.

eLearning FAQ
Who are online classes for?
Online courses were developed to increase access to Northwest courses by adults and other students who cannot attend campus-based classes because of work, family responsibilities or distance from campus.
How much does it cost to take an online class?
The cost of taking online classes is the same rate as for the traditional classroom. Financial Aid is available for online courses.
Can anyone enroll for online classes?
Students who are current or former Northwest students can enroll in an online course after consulting with their adviser. Students new to Northwest must first apply for admission to the college. Registration for online courses is conducted at the same time as campus-based courses.
How are online classes conducted?
Online classes are conducted using an educational platform called Canvas. When a student logs in to Canvas, a link to each online course that he/she is enrolled in will be visible at the top of the page. The link takes the student to his/her virtual classroom. There, the student can read class announcements, check for homework assignments, view the course syllabus and communicate with the instructor and other students through a variety of tools such as e-mail, Canvas Instant Messaging, discussion boards, wikis or blogs.

Stephanie posted a recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Muffins yesterday, and it was just too tasty and easy not to share!
1 – 15 oz can of 100% pure pumpkin
1 – box of spice cake mix
1 – cup of semi-sweet or white chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350-degrees. Mix the 3 ingredients together. Do NOT add the eggs and oil the cake mix tells you to add. Grease your muffin tins and bake for 18-22 minutes. It can't get much easier than that!
I actually used the miniature chocolate chips and made mini-muffins, which yielded about 4 dozen (and didn't take quite as long to bake, about 16 minutes). Otherwise, Stephanie says that you get about 15 regular sized muffins.
For somebody who loves to cook but hasn't really been able to for the last 9 months, this was great! I actually felt somewhat useful again, even though this was super quick and really simple. I'm all about the 3-ingredient recipes these days, especially ones that don't keep me on my feet for more than 15-20 minutes! Thanks, Stephanie!

The C102 VC LFO is a voltage controlled low frequency oscillator with five waveforms available simultaneously.
With three frequency ranges ( L, M, H ) the VC LFO can oscillate from 7 minutes per cycle up to 800 Hz. Using the FM MOD input this range can be even extended.With this wide frequency range, the LFO can be used to produce really slow and subtle modulations and audio frequency modulation (FM sounds).
Another important feature is that the oscillation frequency can be voltage controlled using the FM input. You can modulate the frequency with an envelope, other LFO , sequencer etc. Using the FM input, it's also possible to create new waveforms like hyperbolic sine wave, hyperbolic cosine wave and more. Just connect one of the VC-LFO outputs to its own FM input and turn up the FM level potentiometer.
Also the C102 VC LFO has a Sync / Reset input (not available in L mode). Every time a trigger signal is detected, the LFO will restart the waveform to the beginning of its cycle.
This module is built using high quality electronic components, Switchcraft jacks, NKK switches, Cosmo knobs (the same used by Moog Modular) , silk screened front-panel....

About this Research Topic
Plants constantly face many kinds of abiotic and biotic stresses. One of the major threats is from many plant fungal, oomycete, viral, bacterial and nematode pathogens. Plant diseases caused by these pathogens reduce crop yield by 10-15% worldwide every year. Throughout the human history, plant diseases are responsible for many famines including the infamous Irish Potato Famine. Besides the negative impact on the yield, the quality of the infected crop will be adversely affected and the toxins produced by plant pathogens pose threat to human health.
During the co-evolution between plants and pathogens, plants developed elegant defense system against pathogen infection and plant pathogens deploy a variety of strategies to suppress plant innate immunity. A deeper understanding the molecular mechanisms on the activation of plant defense in plants and suppression of plant defense by plant pathogens will be crucial to develop effective ways to minimize the detrimental effects from plant diseases on human beings.
This Research Topic aims to increase our understanding on the molecular interactions between plants and pathogens. We welcome the submission of Original Research Articles, Reviews, Mini- review, Perspectives, and Methods related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
• MAMP-triggered immunity (MTI)
• Effector-trigged immunity (ETI)
• Avirulence (Avr) proteins and resistance (R) protein
• Salicylic acid-mediated plant defense
• Pathogen effectors
• Pathogen toxins
• PR proteins
• Reactive oxygen species
• Callose deposition
• MAP kinase pathway
• Priming
• Systemic acquired resistance
• Mobile signals
• Hypersensitive responses
• Virus-induced gene silencing,
• Plant-nematode interaction
By focusing on the latest developments in both plant immunity and plant pathology, we hope to uncover the interconnections between and the biological relevance of the important molecular events during dynamic plant-pathogen interactions. The readers will particularly benefit from the wide range of systems used in these studies. Our collection of papers will showcase the defense and counter defense strategies deployed by plants and pathogens during their arms race. In addition, our wide range of listed topics will be helpful in revealing the big picture and common themes in molecular interactions between plants and pathogens.
Keywords: MAMP-triggered Immunity, Effector-triggered Immunity, Salicylic Acid, Reactive Oxygen Species
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.

Have you had your home inspected for lead recently? If you're anything like most San Franciscans, the answer is probably no.
But consider this: 94 percent of the city's houses were built before 1978, when the federal government banned lead-based paint. This puts urban dwellers — especially kids — at high risk for contracting lead poisoning.
To reduce lead poisoning while creating jobs for community members, the Mission Economic Development Agency has launched a program called Lead Free, LLC. The initiative will educate families about the dangers of lead poisoning and provide lead assessments, cleaning services and lead removal. It fosters economic development by offering training, certification and employment opportunities for low-income people to work in lead abatement.
The issue of childhood lead poisoning is a national one — approximately 500,000 U.S. children between the ages of 1 and 5 years old have blood lead levels above the safety threshold as established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That risk is heightened in San Francisco, where the overwhelming majority of structures were built before the 1978 ban.
Lead poisoning cases are concentrated in low-income and minority communities, research has shown. Symptoms can include anemia and organ damage. Children are especially vulnerable to the toxic effects of breathing or swallowing lead dust due to their rapidly developing nervous systems and brains, according to the National Institutes of Health. Testing and treatment can detect and remove lead from the body. Best of all is prevention through careful lead removal from the home.
That's where Lead Free comes in. It offers testing for lead levels at home, certified lead dust cleaning, certified post-construction and post-remodeling cleanup to remove residual lead, education services and certified training.
This week, city staff members, contractors and community members gathered inside a buzzing room at Plaza Adelante to celebrate the launch of Lead Free. On hand to back the initiative were Supervisor David Campos, Ginny Fontenot, Lead Free's social enterprise program manager, and Malea Chavez, the director of Plaza Adelante special projects.
"Lead Free is an innovative idea to try to solve a problem that affects a lot of people, not only in the country but specifically in San Francisco," said Chavez. "As a parent, I can speak to the fact that this is a real concern and a near and dear issue to my heart … education is key."
The Mission neighborhood is rich with iconic old buildings, but many of these crumbling beauties contain lead paint from decades ago — and due to general lack of education and community outreach, most families have no idea they're residing in contaminated spaces. Through the Lead Free initiative, MEDA hopes to work with neighborhood schools and families to educate residents about how to protect themselves from lead exposure.
"We're very committed to getting out in the community and talking about the dangers of lead poisoning," said Fontenot.
The program's most innovative aspect, Fontenot says, is its economic empowerment model: providing lead certified training, certification and employment for low-income community members.
"This has really worked out nicely, because one of my trainees is a single mom," said Fontenot. "This will be her first full-time job with benefits. She's made something of herself … I see it as giving individuals a chance at having a job that can sustain their family, instead of struggling."
