Published: v Aston Villa, 26th October 2018
Talking Hoops
The slippery slope Rangers were on appears to have been gritted finally. So much so that we can finally risk taking a look at the Championship table.
Dave Barton
Along with the leaves falling, the clocks going back and the nights drawing in, autumn usually means things change at QPR. Not this time around, though, believes Dave.
Love & Hate
Ever wondered how popular QPR are out there in Championship land? Not very is the short answer.
Vox Pop
The bit where we invite a group of Rangers fans to share their views on a variety of topics. This time around it's their views on the team and on the manager, whether a play-off position is or isn't within the realms of possibility for us, whether Steve McClaren was right to select a second string XI at Blackpool in the EFL Cup - and concerns over low Loftus Road attendances so far this season, and what can be done about it.
T'Ain't What You Do
Managing a football club? Hardest job in the world, right? John Leighton doesn't think so - and reckons the key to being a successful manager is simple.
On balance, Beth Peach is pleased to see more experienced players arriving on loan - but worries whether that will be to the cost of developing the younger players.
In The Pink
No prizes for guessing from the title that Ray Eaton's focus this time around is on the current second kit design. And not just that, Ray takes a wider look at the design of QPR kits and thinks that it's not possible to better the iconic hoops, in both blue & white and the classic red & black.
Young At Heart
Keith Young continues his memories of a lifetime supporting QPR. Here he's in the 1970s, recently moved to the back of beyond - or Chalfont, as it's better known. He's also travelling to games in Stanley, his new car, cadging tickets off players, running the gauntlet at away games, and occasionally finding himself sitting next to a former Miss World.
Ratings & Stats
A two-page table with the standings of our own player ratings, match by match - and the goal times, which show that Rangers are yet to score a goal in the last 25 minutes of ANY game this season!
Match by Match
Ratings, comments and observations from a whole raft of matches, starting at Bolton in mid-September right up to Ipswich away.
Puzzles & Quizzes
A chance to test the old grey matter.
Fund-Raising Calendar
We are delighted to promote the Stan Bowles calendar.
High Jinx
Editor Dave Thomas has been AWOL this season - and he's not happy about it.

In 2014, the GBVIMS Steering Committee commissioned an external evaluation of the GBVIMS. There were several reasons for this. Despite an increase in demand for the GBVIMS throughout the humanitarian and donor communities, in the five years since GBVIMS roll-outs began in earnest, there had been few comprehensive evaluations providing evidence on the actual results of the GBVIMS and its relevance, efficiency and effectiveness in different contexts.
The increase in the number of users and countries that are implementing the GBVIMS had resulted in greater attention to key issues for the IMS, such as ownership and sustainability, intersections with other IMs, and requests for the GBVIMS to be used in non-humanitarian contexts; which made the evaluation of the GBVIMS highly relevant.
The evaluation identified evidence, good practice, and lessons and and made recommendations regarding to what extent, how, why and when (in what contexts) the GBVIMS had reached and/or could reach its intended objectives and fulfill the expectations it set out to meet.
Information gathered for this evaluation are forward-looking, with the intention of informing future GBVIMS roll-outs, including by instituting critical changes in approach and/or methods.
An Evaluation Brief presents the main findings and results of this five-year external evaluation.

Dealing with pests can be stressful and frustrating. It can be costly to hire an exterminator. You should learn to handle them on your own and save some money. This article helps you with that.
An easy way to kill any flying bug in your home is to douse it with hairspray until it falls. The spray contains chemicals that will kill bugs and scents that prevent their return.
Make sure that your screens are fully functional at all times. Screens on doors and windows keep both flying and crawling bugs out. It's important to repair any holes in screens around your home.
Make sure you seal off any cracks and crevices around your home. These are one of the most common entry points for bugs into a home. They fit between even the tiniest cracks. If you close them off, the pests won't be able to get in.
Fleas are notorious for being hard to kill, but there are some steps you can take. You need to vacuum daily, and use a flea spray. Keep in mind that your vacuum bag should be disposed of immediately upon finishing vacuuming.
If you are considering new tree plantings and your area attracts rodents, avoid planting these trees too close in proximity to your house. Rodents can easily climb trees and get into the house through attics and roofs. Make sure they are a minimum of 15 feet away from the house.
Outdoor lighting can look great when you have company over or if you're trying to deter people from trespassing, but they can also attract pests. Outdoor insects are attracted to any type of lighting, so use light bulbs that are not white, such as pink or yellow, if you wish to minimize this.
It can work really well to use an electronic repellent for pests in and around your home. The quiet buzzing emitted by these devices plugged into outlets in each room repels rodents. Humans cannot hear the sound, and it does not harm pets or humans in any way. Rodents, on the other hand, aren't fond of the sound, and will evacuate the area.
If you've got pets, avoid mouse or rat poison. If a dog or cat catches the sick rodent or starts playing with one that's dead, it may consume the poison too. If you have kids, it is likewise inappropriate to use these poisons in your home. They may believe that the small pellets on the floor are candy and eat them, which can be deadly.
Store food properly to keep pests from getting into it. Glass containers and plastic containers are great if they have lids to be sealed with. Steer clear of paper or cardboard packaging, because pests can chew through them.
Do you use lights on the outside of your home? If so, then it is likely they are attracting pests. Lighting around your home's entrance should only be turned on when needed, not left on continuously. You can also reduce the chances of these bugs getting in your home by using yellow or orange lights that bugs are not attracted to as much.
Pests can create issues within your house. Since it can cost a lot to hire an exterminator, you ought to learn what you can about ridding your home of them yourself. These tips can help you get rid of pests.

Sunscreen is not our friend. Sure, it protects us from deadly UV rays and keeps us from looking like the witch in Snow White and all that, but it's a total pain to deal with. Reapplying all the time, the grease, the subsequent breakouts — so not our thing.
Thankfully, there is a way to protect your skin that doesn't involve any of the above: sunscreen powders. Made from highly refined minerals, these powders offer a high level of broad-spectrum protection, according to dermatologist Dr. Annie Chiu. Most SPF powders are comprised of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and iron oxide particles — the same ingredients you will find in many traditional SPF lotions. "The iron oxide and titanium dioxide particles are large molecular structures that help block infrared rays and keep skin cool," explains Dr. Chiu. The powder creates a physical block over top of your skin, shielding it from UV rays by not allowing them to penetrate through.
In addition, Dr. Chiu says powders have particles that vary in size, which means they can fill in any "gaps" and provide more complete protection. "I often see that around the nose or by the hairline can be missed by creams or lotion SPF coverage, but powders can easily be blended into these areas," she says.
We were skeptical at first — if the powder just sits on top of your skin instead of absorbing into it, how does it not just wipe off the minute you walk outside or touch your face? "A well-made, high-integrity mineral powder sunscreen will stay in place because of the particle size," says Dr. Chiu. She adds that the skin's natural oils also help it adhere to the skin. That said, she recommends that you should still reapply every two to three hours, or after swimming or sweating. She also notes that because the powder sits on top of your skin, it's important to make sure your other skin care products are completely dry and absorbed into the skin before you apply your powder. Otherwise, your protection may not be as effective.
Now, you may have heard some chatter recently about SPF powders posing a health risk due to inhalation. Says Dr. Chiu, "There was some concern in the media that nanoparticles were of such a small size they could be absorbed into the skin or inhaled and cause problems down the line. Most cosmetic companies sheer their sunscreen particles into various sizes that are well above the nanoparticle range, to not penetrate the skin or be dangerous if inhaled." And now you know.
We're big fans of SPF powders because they make sunscreen protection so damn easy. You don't need to wait around for it to absorb in order to be effective, you can apply it multiple times throughout the day without getting greasy or messing up your makeup, and it is super-portable so you can pop one in your purse and know that you always have sun protection handy.
Since we know you are now seriously involved with SPF powders, we've gone ahead and rounded up 5 of our faves for your browsing pleasure. Stock up now, people — those UV rays mean business.

Examiners from the British Horse Society are to send out results by post because they're fed up with being verbally abused and even attacked by failed candidates.
The BHS, based at Stoneleigh Deer Park, Stoneleigh, conducts exams in riding and horse care leading to a range of professional qualifications for the equestrian industry.
Until now, examiners would tell candidates the results in person at the end of their gruelling, day-long assessment.
But in recent months examiners have been on the receiving end of the equine equivalent of road rage.
Last September, the father of a failed student grabbed an examiner by the neck. In another incident, a 19-year-old who had failed an exam started a fight with his father.
They frightened beginner riders and their horses by throwing stones. And in a third incident a middle-aged candidate who had failed started swearing at the examiner and other students.
BHS bosses fear the problems are fuelled by the extreme pressure on 16 plus candidates to pass the exams and the high expectations of parents who spend thousands on teaching their children to ride.
Chairman of the BHS examinations advisory group Carole Broad said: "It is a long, tiring day for candidates and can provoke the equestrian equivalent of road rage, both from them and their parents.
"These young adults fail because they are not good enough but they cannot accept that. We seem to live in a world where your children are not supposed to fail anything and someone has to be blamed for failure.
"It is often the parents who seem to take failure the worst and then take it out on the examiners."

Creation Date
"In The Hood-Portraits of African American Professionals Wearing a Hoodie #5", 2013, Technique Mixte on canvas, 48"w x 48"h.
"In The Hood- Portraits of Professional African Americans", a project of large scale paintings done in Technique Mixte of African American professionals, male and female wearing a "Hoodie". The project is to continue the dialogue in perception, race-relations, stigmas, images, stereotypes, generalizations. This project was inspired by the tragedy of the 17 y.o. African American teenager, Trayvon Martin who was shot and killed last year while wearing a hoodie in a Florida neighborhood. "Until we see each other beyond "The Hood"and into "Humanity", we perhaps can achieve peace and erase color lines."

The brief
Portmeirion is a tourist village in Gwynedd, North Wales. It was designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 in the style of an Italian village, and is now owned by a charitable trust. Vision XS was approached to produce a 5 years strategic plan that would significantly improve the visitor experience in the day attraction at Portmeirion Village and improve the attractiveness of the Portmeirion Resort as a major tourist destination in North Wales.
The task
Vision XS was asked to produce a market model, a business plan and a visitor experience development roadmap.
The results
A five year plan was developed involving improving the flow around the Village, the building of a new visitor reception and adding new experiences such as the educational guided tour and the woodland train ride. The Village is currently in year 5 of the plan and starting to reap the rewards of having all the staff committed to a plan they were involved in creating.

The Church honors the memory of St. Clare of Assisi (1193/94-1253), liturgically, today. She is known as the first woman to join St. Francis and his companions in their new form of living the Gospel in a radical way.
Clare met Francis who impressed upon her the virtue –not just a value– of being a part of what he determined to be a life of penance and "life according to the Holy Gospel". Called by God, Clare decided to abandon her family and social status, like Francis and his companions, in 1211 or 1212 be a part of the new movement. Her "Franciscan" life first was lived in her family home but later moved to a more fitting environment. It was Francis who taught:
"Since by divine inspiration you have made yourselves daughters and servants of the most High King, the heavenly Father, and have taken the Holy Spirit as your spouse, choosing to live according to the perfection of the Holy Gospel, I resolve and promise for myself and for my brothers always to have the same loving care and special solicitude for you as I have for them."
As she wrote to St. Agnes of Prague: "If so great and good Lord, then, on coming into the Virgin's womb, chose to appear despised, needy, and poor in this world, so that people who were in utter poverty and want, suffering hunger for heavenly nourishment, might become rich in him by possessing the kingdom of heaven, then rejoice and be glad! . . What a great and praiseworthy exchange: to leave the things of time for those of eternity, to choose the things of heaven for the goods of earth, to receive the hundred-fold in place of one, and to possess a blessed and eternal life!"
The early sisters of Clare lived simply and prayerfully at the Church of San Damiano for over 40 years, sustained by their own work. The her monastic Rule was finally approved by Pope Innocent IV shortly before her death in 1253. She was canonized two years later in 1255.

Google has just updated their search engine algorithm with the most recent Panda keep informed. They have functional the vary in the US and it has fashioned argument and destruction in the internet industry.
As Google progress, its engineers, who were mainly paying attention on construction the explore engine results as applicable to users as potential, continual to vocation on ways to bring to an end people from devious, and give the impression of being at supplementary ways to illustrate the nearly everyone applicable pages at the summit of their searches.
The algorithm at the moment looks at hundreds of diverse feature. The rationale of Panda was to endeavor to demonstrate high-quality sites superior in search consequences and relegate sites that possibly will be of subordinate superiority.
What is Google Panda Effect Algorithm When It Updates
This algorithm transform was anonymous when it original move toward elsewhere, and numerous of us describe it the "Farmer" update as it give the impression to influence contented farms. Publishing comfortable presently for the heck of traffic is not a good quality suggestion.
This is the most important grounds why Google made the keep informed for the reason that a assortment of sites acquire a assortment of contented presently for them to be a magnet for supplementary visitors from the investigate engines to go to their site and present a quantity of impersonation and clicks to the ads.
In nearly everyone cases, sites that were pretentious by Panda were punch moderately hard. But, I have also distinguished sites that have in use a unimportant loss on the date of a Panda update. Panda is liable to be a site-wide issue which earnings that it doesn't just demote confident pages of your site in the investigate locomotive results, but as an alternative, Google regard as the complete site to be of junior eminence.

Delete Unused Code with Webpack and unused-files-webpack-plugin
As you refactor and modify applications, it's difficult to manage and keep track of files as they become unused. Keeping this "dead" code around adds noise to your application and reduces clarity. Just as ESLint can tell us when variables become unused, Webpack (with the help of the unused-files-webpack-plugin) can tell us when entire files become unused. First, we'll install the plugin with npm and save it as a devDependency. Next, we'll use npm run scripts to build a new command that will run Webpack with the plugin. Finally, we'll learn how to use Webpack environment variables to conditionally add plugins to your Webpack config. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a useful cli command you can run to check for unused modules in your Webpack build

This report presents the findings of the second part of a two-part series of full-scale electrical cabinet fire tests conducted by Sandia National Laboratories for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The first part of this test series investigated the effects of various cabinet parameters on a cabinet fire. The second part of the test series, described here, investigated the effects of such a fire on a large (18.3x12.2x6.1-m or 60x4Ox20-ft) enclosure.
Five tests involving a fire in a control cabinet were conducted under Part 2 of the test series. These tests investigated the effects of fuel type, cabinet configuration, and enclosure ventilation rate on the development of the enclosure environment. Although fires as large as 1300 kW resulted, enclosure peak temperatures (outside the fire plume itself) were typically less than 150 °C, with significant vertical thermal stratification observed. The most significant impact on the test enclosure environment was that dense smoke, in all cases, resulted in total obscuration of the enclosure within 6–15 min of fire ignition. Enclosure ventilation rates as high as 8 room air changes per hour were found to be ineffective in purging the smoke from this large enclosure. Similar obscuration problems had also been observed in the Part 1 tests, which utilized a smaller enclosure with ventilation rates as high as 15 room air changes per hour.

The Kitchen Ministries at Faith United Methodist Church provides numerous opportunities for Sharing Christ's Love Through Faith. Many volunteers are always needed to work in the kitchen, on the serving line, setting the tables, and cleaning up. Fellowship is enjoyed as we work together, and friendships are grown. Additional volunteers are always needed who are willing to become familiar with our church kitchen and learn how they can become more involved in our active ministry.
Kitchen Ministries, under the leadership of Joann Emanuele, is the main trunk of the various branches/groups that prepare and serve food. Perhaps participation in one or more of the following groups/branches of Kitchen Ministries provides an opportunity for you to help in the sharing of Christ's love through service at Faith UMC.
Hospitality: The co-chairs for this group are Cindy Plance, Joy Spang, and Marcy Wagner. This group provides hospitality and breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner for Greensburg District events as requested and accepted. They organize the annual "Wild Game Night" in January and the group has organized and prepared the annual "First Responders Breakfast" in August. They organize and prepare the sample plates of food for the Seder explanation presented by Jeff Kipp and his "Messiah in Passover" program.
Funeral Luncheons: Leadership is provided by Marge Kratofil as a service to Faith families who request a funeral luncheon in our Fellowship Hall. Volunteers are needed to bake desserts, prepare deviled eggs, provide salad fixings, and help prepare and serve the meal.
Apple Dumpling Holy Rollers: Leadership is provided by Marge Kratofil. Many volunteers are needed to help in various capacities over at least two days a week for two weeks in late summer so that apple dumplings are available to sell during Delmont Daze, the Pilgrimage, and Lenten Fish & More Dinners. Dough needs to be made, measured & rolled into individual balls, and then flattened in preparation for the apples. Apples need to be peeled and cored. The apple dumplings are created, baked, and individually-boxed or placed in boxes of six. Boxes need to be assembled, and cinnamon sauce is made and divided into individual containers.
Pilgrimage: Leadership is provided by Joann Emanuele. This event takes place the first weekend of December. Volunteers are needed in the kitchen, on the line, helping wash dishes, setting up for the event, and cleaning up afterwards. Bakers are needed to make pies and cookies at home for the display of desserts when close to 2000 people could come through our food line over the course of the 2-day event.
Lenten Fish & More Dinners: Lots of volunteers are needed to have this 6-week event run smoothly each Friday during Lent. (We do not provide meals on Good Friday.) There is always a day of prep prior to the Friday event,usually Thursday, when tables are set, food line is set up, tartar sauce and cocktail sauce are made and placed in individual containers, cabbage is cut for haluski, cole slaw is made, strawberries are cut for the pies, clam chowder soup is made, etc. Pies and cookies are needed for the display of desserts on the line. Many volunteers are needed each Friday to cut the buns, plate the desserts, wash the dishes, prepare the food, work on the line, and clean up.
The major fund raisers for the Kitchen Ministries come from the profits made during the Lenten Fish & More Dinners, the Pilgrimage, and the selling of our apple dumplings. The Kitchen Committee consists of anyone who participates in the church's kitchen activities. Concerns are brought up and handled by the committee with voting. 10% of the profits are tithed to the church. The remaining monies go to missions and other needs as presented to the committee and voted upon.

The library offers access to over 513,000 rolls of microfilm and 55,000 compiled genealogy volumes, privately published family histories, an impressive collection of state and territorial censuses, and many other unique resources. It's an invaluable repository for genealogists, and for those with family roots in Indiana, it's one of a kind.
This year, past president Jane Knowles Lindsey leads intermediate-level researchers in a new format: participants will do independent research but have the opportunity to network with others during the week.
This year's trip runs concurrently with the annual conference of the Federation of Genealogical Societies. We have hotel rooms set aside for CGS members who wish to go to just the conference.
But the deadline to reserve your spot or hotel room is fast approaching! Contact Jane Lindsey by June 15 to confirm.

According to Freud the unconscious mind is controlled by the ego that is developed by the id in infancy to satisfy our pleasure feelings. As we grow from childhood to adulthood our feelings of pleasure are satisfied by the superego.
My theory is that the human mind has three instincts that we are all born with and the strength of these instincts are either magnified by the environment we are raised up in or they are not taught to be controlled because of the environment that we grow up in.
The three instincts; the Will to Survive, the Pleasure Instinct, and the Herding Instinct.
Throughout the history of the human race, we have made laws based on controlling or satisfying the power or strength of these instincts in people. For example, since the pleasure instinct controls sexual behavior, personal laziness, drug addiction and bad eating habits, we have made many laws to protect children from the power of the pleasure instinct that can cause adults to sexually harm children. Probably most of our laws were made to protect us from the too strong pleasure instinct in individuals. An example of a law we made to satisfy our herding instinct is the freedom to join any type of religious affiliation you may want to belong to. Our herding instinct is satisfied in many modern ways such as following your favorite sports team. A law that was made to satisfy our will to survive is thou shall not steal from another. The reason that satisfies our will to survive is that it gives one the peace of mind that what you have accumulated to sustain your life is safe.
In later blogs I will discuss more of the logic behind this theory.

The Power of Pillows
Categories: Accessorizing, Bedding, Decorative Pillows, Fabrics, Home Styling, Interior Design, Master Bedroom, Patterns, Teen Bedding
Does your space need a quick facelift? Pillows are the Botox of interior design!
Pillows are an inexpensive, quick way to add the much – desired pop that will update your space. Just like an actual facelift, the point of the pillow "implant" is to help the design look fresh-but if it's done poorly, your space will look disastorous. Keep it classy – have fun!
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Pillows
1. Puffy isn't always the answer and there is such a thing as "too much". The critical piece of a nice pillow design is to not get too crazy with color schemes. As tempting as it is to try every color in the crayon box, there is no reason to deviate outside the room's already-established color palette.
2. It's okay to get funky with the mixing of textures, colors, and patterns. The backdrop should remain relatively neutral and solid though, so that the pillows are not competing with the remaining design. Never be afraid to mix elements; some of the best groups of pillows are those that you would think would never work together. It's all in the details: look at the colors, frills, and textures closely to make sure they work as a pairing. Change it up every season! You can dramatically change the look of a room just by replacing your set with different pillows and throws.
3. The final variable is size. The bigger the pillow the better! Mixing large pillows with small pillows provides a subtle depth to the sofa or bed.

Kojima explains why Metal Gear Solid story is so...complicated
Hideo Kojima admits he did not have the entire story put together when he made the first game.
The Metal Gear Solid franchise is well-known for its complicated story that many say is as complex or even moreso than the twist-heavy TV show Lost. But series creator Hideo Kojima did not intend for it to be this way; in fact, he told Game Informer in a new interview that ideally a story should be simple, at least on the surface.
"Having a complex story is not my intention at all," Kojima said. "It's nothing I ever shoot for or try to do. Ideally what I want to do is, for example, make a story that's seems very simple, it's very easy to understand on the surface, and once you zoom in there's a lot of details and a lot of things that you can see there. But overall, ideally I try to stay within a story that once you zoom out the main story is rather simple."
Part of the reason the overarching series narrative might be so complicated is because Kojima did not have the entire plot assembled when he made the first game, he said. This can lead to story inconsistencies, like the ones Kojima previously warned Metal Gear Solid V players to expect.
"When you do that sometimes the veins [of stories] get lost, change, or get stuck. From there I need to create new bloodlines so the story can keep going," he said. "One thing that I try not to do is sacrifice certain things just so I can keep the original story intact. Sometimes I need to accept these inconsistencies in order to be able to achieve what I want for the story."
Game Informer's wide-ranging interview with Kojima also reveals that the industry veteran is good friends with Pan's Labyrinth and Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro. In fact, the last time Kojima saw del Toro, the pair went out to sing karaoke. Kojima said del Toro was very interested in singing Japanese anime songs.
"That's what we were singing," Kojima said.
Asked if Kojima would like to work with del Toro in a professional--and presumably non-singing capacity--someday Kojima said, "Yeah, that would be great." del Toro is currently shopping around his game project InSane, after it was canceled in the THQ bankruptcy fallout.
Finally, Kojima, who is nearly 50, said the Metal Gear Franchise sometimes feels "a bit heavy to carry" and "difficult to handle." As such, he said would like to pass the reins on the franchise to a new director, but so far he has had no luck in this regard, he explained.
"Ideally I would like to step out from the Metal Gear franchise as a producer and dedicate myself to other games," Kojima said. "So far that has proven to be a bit difficult."
If he were able to leave the Metal Gear Solid franchise behind, Kojima said he would like to make games with an "indie game taste" to them, or really anything that's different than a big-budget game.
Next up for Kojima is Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, which launches on March 18 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. The game is a prequel to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which Kojima said features a game world that is 200 times larger than that of Ground Zeroes.

Gotabhaya Rajapaksa's speach against Tamil Nadu GoverntmentRecently Gotabhaya Rajapaksa's spoke wrongly about TN Government, CM & Assembly. But Central Government didn't condemned it and they are giving Red Carpet to Sinhalese MPs. Why India is afraid to speak about Srilanka?
Hilary's meeting with TN CM shows that even America is not believe India's Speech on Srilanka. Thats why she didn't speak this issue with SM Krishna.

Authorization for Non-VA Medical Services; Withdrawal, 76064 [2013-29312]Download as PDF
[Federal Register Volume 78, Number 241 (Monday, December 16, 2013)] [Rules and Regulations] [Page 76064] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2013-29312] [[Page 76064]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS 38 CFR Part 17 RIN 2900-AO47 Authorization for Non-VA Medical Services; Withdrawal AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a direct final rule in the Federal Register on November 28, 2012, that would have amended its regulations regarding payment by VA for medical services under VA's statutory authority to provide non-VA medical care. VA sought to remove an outdated regulatory limitation on veterans' eligibility to be referred for non-VA medical care. On the same date, VA also published a companion proposed rule containing the same amendments as the direct final rule. Because VA received adverse comments on this action, we are withdrawing the direct final rule. In a companion document in the Federal Register, VA is publishing a final rule that addresses comments received on the proposed and direct final rules. DATES: The direct final rule published on November 28, 2013 (77 FR 70893), is withdrawn as of December 16, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Brown, Chief, Policy Management Department, Department of Veterans Affairs, Chief Business Office, Purchased Care, 3773 Cherry Creek North Drive, Suite 450, Denver, CO 80209 at (303) 331-7829. This is not a toll-free number. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a direct final rule published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2012, 77 FR 70893, VA would have amended its regulations authorizing non-VA medical care effective January 28, 2013. Under the non-VA medical care authority in 38 U.S.C. 1703, VA may provide certain hospital care (inpatient care) and medical services (outpatient care) for eligible veterans when VA facilities are not capable of providing necessary treatment due to geographical inaccessibility or are not capable of providing the services needed. The direct final rule would have revised VA's existing regulation, at 38 CFR 17.52(a)(2)(ii), to remove a limitation that barred VA from authorizing non-VA medical services for certain veterans who had not previously been furnished VA hospital care. Without this revision, these veterans were eligible for non-VA medical services under Sec. 17.52(a)(2)(ii) to complete treatment of a nonservice-connected disability only if they had received VA hospital care for that disability. VA published a companion proposed rule on the same date, at 77 FR 70967, proposing the same amendments as the direct final rule. The direct final rule and proposed rule each provided a 30-day comment period that ended on December 28, 2012. VA received comments on the proposed rule and direct final rule, including some adverse comments. VA is therefore withdrawing the direct final rule, ``Authorization for Non-VA Medical Services,'' RIN 2900-AO47, which did not become effective on January 28, 2013 because VA received adverse comments on the proposed rule and direct final rule during the 30-day comment period. VA is publishing a final rulemaking, ``Authorization for Non-VA Medical Services,'' RIN 2900-AO46, in this issue of the Federal Register that addresses comments received on both the direct final rule and the proposed rule. These actions are consistent with the procedures stated in the direct final rule and the proposed rule. Signing Authority The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or designee, approved this document and authorized the undersigned to sign and submit the document to the Office of the Federal Register for publication electronically as an official document of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Jose D. Riojas, Chief of Staff, Department of Veterans Affairs, approved this document on November 6, 2013 for publication. Dated: December 4, 2013. Robert C. McFetridge, Director, Regulation Policy and Management, Office of the General Counsel, Department of Veterans Affairs. [FR Doc. 2013-29312 Filed 12-13-13; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8320-01-P

What does the research say about direct instruction?
There are many lists of the effective principles for vocabulary instruction. Larry Ferlazzo has 'The Big 10' and Reading Rockets summarises research to end up with Four Pragmatic Principles for Enhancing Vocabulary Instruction.
However, Graves¹ has summarised the main principles from a range of research and identified six key areas that underpin effective vocabulary teaching that we need to attend to in direct instruction.
1. Include both definitional and contextual information
Whilst just working with definitions of words can make some difference to pupils' vocabulary, it has been found time and again that definitions together with context has a greater effect on pupils' vocabulary.
When defining words, it is best to create pupil-friendly definitions as some dictionary definitions can use more complex language than the word being looked up. One piece of research by Mckeown (1983)³ provided two groups of pupils with different definitions; one from a dictionary and one developed by the researcher. Pupils were then asked to write sentences that included the defined words. Those that had the dictionary definition wrote 25% of their sentences using the word appropriately and 75% where it was not. The group that had the carefully constructed definition wrote 50% of their sentences using the word correctly.
When using the context to develop an understanding of the word, it is obvious that the first time a word is met the understanding is limited but grows each time it is met in different contexts. This means contextual teaching needs to be robust, and well-planned in order for it to be effective. One example of this is the word 'set'. The English Oxford Living Dictionary has over 20 definitions for the word on its own and then many more if followed by an adverbial, e.g. set about or as a phrasal verb such as 'set off' or 'set in'. If we take the definition of 'set' as located in a specific position as in 'The village was set amongst trees and hills', it will be difficult to make sense of the instruction to 'set the table'. This article lists 164 definitions of 'set'. 'Run' is another example of a word that has many definitions. How many different ways of using it can you think of? Baths, noses, rivers, traffic lights …
2. Involve active and deep processing of the words
Stahl and Fairbanks, 1986² and Beck and Mckeown, 1991³ define deep processing as comparing and contrasting word meanings, thinking about and discussing the nuances of words, applying words in talk and writing in specific contexts and then in pupils' own contexts.
3. Provide multiple exposures to the word.
Implicit in what has been said about the previous two principles is the fact that meeting a word once will not enable pupils to make that word their own and to choose when to use it correctly. Multiple exposures to the word are necessary and these exposures need to demand that pupils explore the words in different ways.
4. Review, rehearse and remind pupils about the word in various contexts over time.
Coming back to vocabulary already learned and reviewing and reminding pupils about it is a key aspect of vocabulary instruction. By their very definition, the words being taught are not words that children will meet in everyday speech. This will demand planned activities to ensure the words are being used and understanding of them deepened.
5. Include discussion as a prominent part of instruction.
Purposeful talk to explore, try out and consolidate learning is essential. Vocabulary instruction is not a quiet, individual activity but one where pupils grapple with new words, the meanings of these words in relation to their lives and when and how to use them. Also important is teacher talk: the quantity and quality, the variety and sophistication of the vocabulary used and repetition and paraphrasing of pupil talk; all of which have been shown⁴ to positively affect vocabulary children's vocabulary acquisition.
6. Spend a significant amount of time on the word.
This will all take time and the implication is that we can not teach all words to the same depth. We need to select the words that we teach in depth carefully so that they are worthy of the time we will spend on them. There is also an implication here that time needs to be clearly identified within the curriculum.
Think back to the list of vocabulary activities that you completed in week one. Look again at the Direct Instruction column and identify which of the principles are involved in some of your activities.
If you have a good example of an activity that embodies some of the above principles, describe it in the comments and explain which principles are involved.
If you find that few of the principles are evidenced, take one of the activities and think about how you could adapt it to incorporate more of the principles of effective instruction.
Share what adaptations you made to the activity in the comments.
When you have done that, look at what others have posted and join in the conversation to discuss examples or ideas that most interest you.

Seeing Pests and Insects
This may go without saying, but if you actually see rodents or bugs while you're touring a rental property, this is a blatant red flag. To do this, you'll need to recognize pests and differentiate between them to understand what kind of infestation may be present. For instance, seeing a fly or two may not be big deal, but spotting and recognizing cockroaches is a very bad sign. And an ant problem is more easily controllable than a bed bug infestation.
Look carefully in the kitchen and bathrooms for any bugs. Some renters may have a wishful hope that spotting a pest doesn't mean there's necessarily an infestation. This may be true, but spotting a pest does indicate that even if there isn't an infestation yet, there soon could be. And don't give landlords the benefit of the doubt if they claim to be unaware of an infestation.

And Lisa Vanderpump thought The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills could be vicious.
Photos: 23 Housewives Looks You've Gotta See
Tuesday night's Dancing with the Stars results show sent our favorite pink lady packing as she and pro dance partner Gleb Savchenko received the least number of votes combined with their performance score from the judges.
Watch: Jonathan Knight Walks Off Stage at NKOTB Concert
It had been a particularly taxing week for Lisa, who fainted during rehearsals and complained of swollen glands and other such symptoms that don't exactly equal a recipe for ballroom dancing success. But the 52-year-old restaurateur braved the dancefloor regardless, despite advice from her doctor.
OK! News: What's In Your Beauty Bag, Ashley Rickards?
"It was 10 minutes before the show started," says Gleb of the game-time decision for the duo to dance on Monday night's episode. "I was walking through the corridor and I tried to call her (Lisa) and she didn't answer the phone. No one knew where she was. She was in the trailer with the doctor and the producers. The doctor was telling her not to do it. The producers were saying, 'It's up to you.' Lisa was throwing up every five minutes and then she was like, 'Okay, I want to do it.'"
And cha-cha she did—to the tune of Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" in honor of her daughter Pandora's wedding last year. Lisa admits that as she stood on stage she was incredibly nervous.
"I just stood there and I actually did question my sanity," she said, "I thought, 'Oh my God.'"

So post elimination, how does Lisa feel?
"Well I didn't feel good and I still don't feel good today," she explains. "I mean now adrenaline has kicked in and I'm a bit more…but all day I just felt a bit weak and my glands still hurt. It's been an amazing experience. I knew that if we didn't leave this week we would have left within the next couple of weeks so I think everybody is sad to see somebody go. When Dorothy (Hamill) left and Wynonna (Judd) is gone—you start chipping away. I've been doing it for six weeks now, this is our fourth week of the show, and it's a hell of a commitment. It's time for me to get back to my life."

Would Lisa tell any of her fellow Housewives to give the show a try?
"I think it's an honor to be asked but, wow, I think you better get prepared for it because it hits you like a train," she says.

NIMET predicts heavy rainfall in four states
The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) on Friday predicted normal rainfall in Nigeria during the year except in Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger and Kwara states, which might experience excessive rainfall.
The Director-General of NIMET, Dr Anthony Anuforom, made the information known at the public presentation of the 2013 Seasonal Rainfall Prediction (SRP) and Nigeria Climate Review Bulletin in Abuja.
He said the rainfall pattern in most parts of Nigeria was likely to be similar to that of 2012.
"However, some areas in the North-western parts of the country, which also fall within the catchment area of River Niger, the total rainfall predicted for 2013 may exceed that of 2012.
"Rainfall for 2013 is predicted to be normal over large areas of the country. The expected changes in the annual rainfall are well below normal in Abeokuta and above normal over Ibadan and Yelwa areas.
"The predicted rainfall for the Northwest areas of Sokoto , Kebbi, Niger, Kwara and environs is likely to be above normal in comparison to 2012,'' he said.
Anuforom advised relevant authorities to use NIMET's updates issued regularly to control possible adverse impacts.
He said the forecast was not automatic as the predictions could change due to climate change.
Anuforom said the volume of rainfall for the year would range from 420 cubic metres spread over 120 days in the extreme North-East to 2,980 cubic metres over a period of 290 days.
"These forecasts are statements of probability and are based on the available scientific knowledge and data.
"Man's knowledge is still limited and, therefore, some margin of error within tolerable limits is not unusual.
"The conditions that determine the rainfall pattern over Nigeria have become more variable due to the effects of climate change and global warming.
"This is a big challenge for atmospheric scientists all over the world. NIMET will continue to monitor the trend in all parts of the country and publish updates as the rainy season progresses,'' Anuforom said.
He explained that the early release of the forecast was to create good lead-time for adequate preparation against risks and hazards associated with weather and climate extremes.
The Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, who was represented by Mr Clement Dosunmu, the Acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, said weather information was important to humanity.
She urged NIMET to fulfil to its mandate by ensuring that the information got to the end users in time.
"The information in these publications are useful for planning, decision-making and policy formulation, especially in those sectors of the economy that are sensitive to weather.
"It is expected that the early release of the 2013 SRP will enable all stakeholders apply the information in planning and executing their activities in such a way as to reduce vulnerability to climate extremes,'' Oduah said. (NAN)

- Details
50mm foam earpads, bag of 100 - Part No: F-30-100
- Each sealed bag contains 100 pieces of the 50mm size foam earpads
- These black foam sponge cushions are made of open cell foam sized for headphones and headsets
- The foam ear cushions fit a headphone earpiece that is about the size of a US dollar coin
- The 50mm size foam earpads start out as a circular foam earpad, however they can be stretched to fit an oval shape earpiece
- Replace degraded foam for your own personal headphone or headset
- Remove and replace the foam earpad sponge cushions on headphones that are shared by many users
- Most call-center headsets will accept either the 40mm, 50mm or 60mm size earpads or cushions
Maintain Effective Hygiene Between Headphone Users
- Re-fresh headphones to keep them sanitary so headphones can be shared and kept clean and safe
- Prevent the spread of head-lice, bacteria, influenza, common cold, hepatitis, viruses and help reduce absenteeism
- Fresh Earpads will limit users from sharing hair, body fluids and skin cells that find their way into the foam earpad material
- Maintain good health and hygiene through the use of clean fresh sponge foam earpad cushions
Three methods to measure your earpiece (following removal of the earpad)
- Circular earpieces - You can measure the diameter going across the earpiece from edge to edge
- Oval earpieces - You can measure across the earpiece and then from top-to-bottom of the edges; add those values together and then divide by 2 to get the average
- Oval or Odd Shape earpieces - Use a string, dental floss or thin strip of paper to measure the circumference (around the earpiece) and then divide by 3.14
- Lets say your oval earpiece circumference measures 5 5/16 inches long (5.338) so you use this formula: 5.338 ÷ 3.14 = 1.7 inches
- If the earpiece diameter is 1.7 inches, you can see that our 50mm foam earpads will fit because it is between 1.375 and 1.75 inches in diameter
- This same method works for metric measurements: If the circumference is 135mm) and we divide that by 3.14 it equals 43mm and that is between the range of 35 and 44mm so our 50mm earpad will fit
- The 50mm foam earpads will fit an earpiece between 1 3/8 and 1 3/4 in (1.375 in. to 1.75 inches) or 35 to 44mm in size
Product Composition
The foam headphone cushions are made out of a polyurethane open-cell foam material that is flexible and will stretch around the circular and oval shaped earpieces. The foam material that we use is generally higher in quality (and made to last longer) than the foam earpads that originally came with most headphones and headsets. These hypoallergenic foam earpads are completely latex-free and come packaged in a clear plastic bag. No heavy metals were used in the production of our foam ear pads; therefore they are RoHS compliant.
