Welcome MPHers!
The Bloomberg School's new MPH students get oriented.
Their classes haven't begun yet—and won't until Wednesday, July 2—but for the School's new MPH students, these first couple days will rank among the busiest of the 11-month degree program.
From today's 8 a.m. breakfast, ID-badge photo session and meetings with faculty and student affairs staff, to tomorrow evening's ice cream social, members of the school's 96th MPH class, are booked solid.
This dynamic two-day orientation introduces students to the school, said MPH program chair Marie Diener-West, PhD, by giving them "… an opportunity to meet and socialize right away with fellow students, alumni, faculty and staff."
The class of 2015 is 62 percent women, 35 percent physicians and 16 percent medical students. The student body also includes dentists, pharmacists, nurses, physical therapists, teachers and public health administrators. They hail from the U.S. and 36 countries
One of the first items on the orientation agenda for the 260-member class was an official welcome from Dean Michael J. Klag, MD, and MPH alum, class of 1987. Recalling his own experience, he promised students that they are embarking on a life-changing year.
"You will change the way you look at problems and think of solutions," he said. "I've never had anyone come back to me and say it's not true.
"So sit down, buckle up and get ready."

A comfortable 52 point win to the AIS-AFL U17s in fine but chilly conditions. They were a class above the Peel squad (composed of mainly colts and reserves players) and never looked in any great trouble at any stage during the game.
NOTE: * = eligible for this year's (2009) draft
Australian (AIS-AFL) U17s
#1 Rhys Mott~ – Found plenty of the footy inside/out/linking through the midfield when he was on - his use was generally OK-sound. Pushed forward late in the game and kicked a goal.
#4 Kaine Stevens – solid, consistent game through the midfield, racked up plenty of the football in his time on the ground all manners and his use was sound, occasionally very good.
#5 Ryan Harwood* – Started on the bench and had an immediate impact when he came on in the first quarter being released into the midfield. As always his vision and movement through traffic is high quality - damaging in those situations, but as an outside player I think he struggles to really have an impact – he played mostly as a wingman when on for the rest of the game and struggled to get involved in the play. Kicking lacks power behind it and I think his technique will need some remodelling (a bit too mechanical).
#6 Jesse Crichton* – Hard not to notice him with the frizzy hair and headband. Started in defence, and moved further up the ground as the game. Showed plenty of pace off the mark and over distance - was afforded too much space and had a bit of a field day with several multiple bounce runs. Showed good agility, composure and DM in traffic on the occasions he won it in close. His footskills were generally sound today although a few of his kicks lacked power/penetration.
#8 David Swallow – Didn't notice him as much in the first half, but he was much more involved in the 2nd half, where he played through the midfield and kicked an impressive goal after splitting a pack from a stoppage I50 to goal from 30-40m? out. Showed good pace off the mark on several occassions and ability to break the lines with continuous hard running and 1-2 linking.
#10 Josh Toy~ – played mainly off HB, showing genuine pace off the mark and over distance on multiple occassions including a devastating 100m+ play in the first quarter off HB where he sprinted 40-50m through the corridor and kicked long (~60m) I50 to a forward dropping back into space who marked and goaled easily. Also showed excellent penetration and power by foot, very good attack on the football, very good 1-1 ball winning ability, courage and good hands overhead backing back to take several marks. Some of his feeds were a bit off the mark (on a few occasions it looked like there was too much power behind them/he was thinking too quickly for his teammates?)
#14 Trent McKenzie~ – played in defence. Gained plenty of metreage with his disposals - covers the ground very well and has a very penetrating and accurate left foot on him.
#16 Koby Stevens* – impacted early in the game with a very good 1st quarter - showed very good attack on the footy, strength and power through the hips breaking through tackles and providing good drive from the stoppages. His delivery by foot I50 was generally very good and his passes had good power behind them.
#21 Jordan Gysberts* – Played mainly through the midfield in the first half, spent a fair bit of time I50 in the 2nd half IIRC. Worked well with Stevens in the first quarter – showed fluency in movement, clean hand skills and very good ability to stream away and spread the ball from stoppages. Kicked 2 goals (IIRC one was a running goal from just inside 50 in the first half and another came from a lead and mark set shot in the 2nd half).
#20 Jack Darling – spent most his time up the ground across HB with limited time in the true CHF position – showed good competitiveness, attack on the ball and general effort but struggled to really get into the game in an unnatural role.
#29 Scott Lycett – rucked for most the game – highly impressive mover for a 200cm 16yo – excellent pace, agility and mobility. Didn't seem to find much of the ball around the ground nor have a significant impact when he got it. Spent little time up forward but kicked 1 goal from a quick lead out to the boundary and finished off very well with the set shot.
#30 Tom Nicholls~ – spent much of the time on the bench, but showed very good mobility and athleticism when he was on the ground. It was good to see him get his hands dirty and extract and use the ball from stoppages effectively on a few occasions.
#15 Shaun Atley - had a good, consistent game and others like #23 Steven May~ (massive build for a 16yo, presented and marked well OH, moves like Buddy - very agile and has time with the footy, long left foot kick, kicked 2 goals), #26 Kyle Hartigan* and #28 Alex Keath~ (presented well in the 3rd quarter particularly) showed some glimpses.
#3 Harley Bennell* – Medium-tall rebounding defender who showed very good pace (particularly ability to cover ground), good decision making and clean, penetrating footskills. Also pushed forward for a goal.
#26 Rhett Mason* – Was looking out for him, while he was generally clean and neat with the ball when he got it, he wasn't prolific at all. Looked to be mainly playing of the flanks/wings.
Didn't notice many of the other WA U18 academy players listed (D.Beswick, Brown, Luff, Wilson).
* = eligible for the 2009 AFL Draft\
~ = eligible for GC17 2009 17yo intake

The CPA has released the findings from its April survey of members. The survey received 3959 responses.
CPA Chairman Micheál Briody said: "We are releasing the latest survey results in their entirety in the interests of transparency. We have asked the questions that we felt we need a steer and some background detail upon before we engage with the new Director General and his team. We will also publish them on our website and through social media so anyone that wants to can view them.
He added: "The responses would confirm the anecdotal evidence we have had among members and from email feedback relating to continued issues around fixtures; the absence of master fixtures plan; differing approaches and attitudes to April in the absence of any enforcement measures and the need for more clearly designated periods for club, county and college competition.
"We asked our members for their views on escalating the CPA response and going a different route in the light of our experiences with Congress. This question elicited 499 written responses expressing frustration, anger and annoyance. The question was not sufficiently clearly worded on our behalf and that attracted some criticism from around 25 people. We accept that criticism."
"The responses show that as an Association we are still failing to provide for our members their most basic requirements: a programme of regular meaningful games.
The survey indicated continuing dissatisfaction among over 70% of respondents with the fixtures situation in their county. The survey also confirms that there has been very much a mixed response to April as a club only designated month by the GAA.
58% of respondents have not received a master fixtures plan setting out their matches for the 2018 season.
Headline points.
- 72% of respondents are not happy with the organisation of club fixtures in their county.
- 56% of respondents state that April was successfully set aside in their county for club activity.
- 41% of those responding have received a master fixture plan with specified dates for all games for the remainder of 2018. The remainder say they have not.
- 89% of respondents would like to see designated periods for club, intercounty and college so that there is no overlap.

Week 4: Beren's
Adventures on the LOTR Blue Screen Set
Monday started off with finishing Saturday's stuff, so that was more stuff in Fangorn. Now this was another very very cool day, John Rhys-Davies was on doing Treebeards voice. This only happened a couple of times while we were shooting, we usually had a stand in voice. I suppose that's what happens when you play two characters. Johns voice is great in this role, very deep and booming, what you would expect Treebeard to sound like. This was another excellent casting choice on Peter's part.
The second scene we shot was more stuff I don't really think I should talk about. Then we did a shot of Merry in Fangorn, again nothing spectacular what we shot but when it's all finished it should look great. Then we did some Treebeard walking shots, now this Treebeard we were using is big enough to pick up a cguple of actors and move them around. This is all done with poles. He sits on a rocker so he can move from side to side to get the walking motion and his legs go back and forward.
So you can have Treebeard striding through the forest, then add into this a radio controlled head with a mouth that moves, eyes the open and close and a head that moves from side to side as well as up and down. Now imagine all this working at once, it's a site I can tell you, on film it is going to look really great. But if you stop him from moving and close his eyes you would think it was a tree. I will say now that when we finally get to see him in about two years with all the postproduction work done to it, it should look totally amazing.
The detail is really great to, his skin looks like tree bark, his beard is made of twigs and has a snail living in it. He has fungus growing on him, basically imagine an old gnarled tree that's been around for a hundred plus years and you'll start getting a picture of what he looks like. But it's a bit hard to describe exactly what he looks like, you will just have to wait to see for yourselves.
The final shot for the day was Treebeard striding through the forest with Merry and Pippin sitting on him. They had to wear harnesses when they were up on Treebeard because of the height factor and we were also doing the walking motion, which moves them around quite a bit. In this scene all the ents are following and the hobbits have to look around in wonder at them all. And so ended the first day of week four.

MIAMI — The Coast Guard assisted three people from two different disabled vessels early Wednesday morning in South Florida.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Miami received a notification from Palm Beach Fire Rescue at approximately 3:15 a.m. of a disabled 20-foot boat with one person aboard at the entrance to Lake Worth Inlet. The watchstanders directed the launch of a Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet 33-foot Special Purpose Craft-Law Enforcement boatcrew and towed the vessel to Phil Foster Park with no further incidents.
In addition, Sector Miami watchstanders received another notification at approximately 4:30 a.m. of a disabled 34-foot boat with two people aboard adrift in the shipping lane at Port Everglades.The watchstanders directed the launch of a Coast Guard Station Fort Lauderdale 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boatcrew and towed the vessel to the 15th Street Boat Ramp with no further incidents.
"We recommend all mariners in distress contact the Coast Guard via VHF-FM channel 16 radio," said Petty Officer 3rd Class Brandon Murray, spokesman for Coast Guard 7th District.

We pray for people all the time. When was the last time you prayed for plants?
If you are a farmer, maybe recently.
So let's pray for good crops.
Let's pray for trees–their beauty, shelter to creatures big and small, for the wood they give, for the air they clean.
Let's pray for flowers–that they grow and continue to color our world, that they continue to be signs of celebrations good and sad.
Let's pray for grass–the green carpets we see each day that lay dormant all winter.
For weeds–that are so strong and hardy, and that help us appreciate the other plants so much.
For vegetables and fruits.
God is so good that He created a multitude of plants of all shapes, sizes, colors, and uses. God is so good that He gave humans dominion over them that we may enjoy them. Let us be thankful.

All was not well at the Heaven Complex, North Pole. Last Christmas was God's last hurrah; it was time to hang up his big red coat and, maybe, trim the beard. For months the Elves wondered who would take over the family business, but try as they might, no one was able to both fill his boots and fly the Sleigh at the same time.
Christmas drew ever closer, but still there was no one to deliver the presents. But little did the Elves know that God had planned for this very eventuality many years previously. In his early 30s God had frozen a sample of his sperm at the High Security North Pole Sperm Bank. Later, as retirement drew closer, he employed the services of a surrogate whom he know only by the name "Mary". Nine months later, Jesus Nicholas Christ was born in The Manger, a pub in Suffolk, England.
God was waiting for Jesus at the North Pole International Airport, where they would catch a Dog back to the Heaven Complex. Jesus had been studying abroad, and was looking forward to showing his dad his excellent woodwork skills. North Pole Flight-1 was delayed due to what the Information Assistant described as an 'act of God', which God was none to pleased about, as he hadn't ordered any plagues for years, but he let it slide as it was Christmas after all. God sat, bored, in the arrivals lounge waiting for Jesus to arrive, entertaining himself by creating tiny universes in the little circular drilled holes in the chairs. Three hours later, Jesus finally arrived.
"Jesus!" God cried, opening his arms to receive him.
"God-all-mighty!" Jesus replied, pointing both fingers like the Fonz.
"It's so good to see you, Jesus" said God, hugging him tightly.
"It's good to see you too, dad." Jesus replied, "but 'Jesus' is so passé, my friends call me St. Nick, or just Nick."
Back at the Heaven Complex, God was showing Nick around the Elves' workshop, when suddenly the Foreman came storming out of the office and started to hurrumph his way towards them.
"Oh great" God said under his breath, "I regretted hiring this guy from day one."
"He can't be that bad" said Nick, "look at the size of him, if he waddles any quicker he'll set his Long Johns on fire."
"Yeah, that's happened a couple of times" said God. "Hello, Ebenezer, what is it this time?"
"Don't patronise me" said the Foreman "I do more work than all of you! And what do I get? Nuffin'!"
"You get quite a lot" God interrupts, "but you spend it all on Hookers and Blackjack. Now what's the problem?"
"It's the bloody Inspectors again. All three of them are on there way right now. Bloody Wise Men" moaned Ebenezer.
"Three wise men?" Nick asked, "I met them in Birminghem, great bunch of lads, always bring me gifts. There was this one time, right, Jim bought me a voucher for a massage, only when I turned up it turned out to be a Thai . . . err. . ."
". . .right" said God, worriedly, "yes, well, not those three wise men, it's the three ghosts of Christmas; Past, Present and Future, you know. Anyway, it's not a big deal, Ebenezer, they come every year, and we always pass."
"Yeah, but this year we don't have anyone to deliver the presents, so we're not gunna pass. If we don't pass we don't get our rebate, or any VAT back, and if they start lookin' at the books they'll find our offshore accounts" warned Ebenezer.
"It's a good job I'm not an inspector" said Nick.
"True-dat" God said.
Ebenezer glared at Nick with an investigative eye, "yeah, who are you?" he growled.
"This, Ebenezer, is my Son, Jesus." God declared proudly.
"but you can call me Nick, everyone does" Nick said.
"He is here to take over the family business" gleams God.
"Him?" Ebenezer asked sarcastically.
"What of it?" asked God.
"Well look at him, there's nuffin' of him! He's never gunna get round the whole world in one night!" Ebenezer jeered "and I doubt he'll even get through Bootcamp!" And with that, Ebenezer sulked off back to the office from whence he came.
"I never should have hired him" God sighed.
"What's this about Bootcamp, dad?" asked Nick, changing the subject.
"Well, if you're going to be Santa, you're going to need the right Boots." said God "lets go and see the Quartermaster."
To be continued. . .

Parties in Port Strike Agree to Federal Mediation
Cuz the feds make everything better
Both sides in the strike that has crippled the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have agreed to federal mediation, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Tuesday at a news conference.
Villaraigosa said the agreement was an encouraging sign and could help bring an end to the strike, now in its eighth day. He said the parties negotiated throughout the night and there had been some recent movement.

Good Super Bowl. Saints deserved to win. Brees outplayed Peyton. Mardi Gras will be long this year.
The Who put on a solid performance – although I kept thinking: 1) I hope Roger Daltrey doesn't have a heart attack; and, 2) It's time to leave behind the rock icons and start using current stars. (Guessing next year in Dallas, Jerry Jones will serve up an array of country acts – George Strait, Kenny Chesney and Carrie Underwood.)
Like the game, the commercials will go down as good, not great. The ad execs were as conservative as the Colts offense. No one showed the kind of risk-taking Sean Payton took with that onside kick to open the second half.
Here is my Top 10 for 2010:
10. Budweiser "Clydesdales" – I wanted to put the Super Bowl Shuffle remix here; however, any ad that includes a Bevo lookalike works for me.
9. Audi "Green Police" – Great concept that built toward a surprise ending as a car commercial.
8. Google "Paris" – This one probably didn't make your list…but for simplicity and creativity, it was a winner (especially since my daughter spent last summer in France).
7. Kia "Sock Monkey" – Anyone willing to bring back that classic symbol of the stock market bubble deserves recognition. Really liked the robot doing the robot.
6. CBS "Letterman" – Great connection with recent NBC late night challenges. Oprah mediated as Leno took subtle swipe at his own network.
5. Denny's "Grand Slam" – It was corny, but I liked the screaming chickens.
4. Budweiser "Bridge" – Nice take using a 'B' movie approach. I could hear some small town folks in west Texas saying, "Yep, we'd do that here."
3. Tru.tv "Troy Polamalu" – Well-timed Groundhog Day premise with a shocking ending. Good follow-up to his shampoo commercials that appeared all season.
2. Snickers "Betty White" – The moment it came on, I said, "That looks like Betty White." Turns out it was. Liked the Abe Vigoda ending. Surprised to learn he's still alive.
1. Doritos "My Momma" – Ads with children and pets always work, especially when the kid gets in the face of mom's date.
Finally, I hope all the pundits and folks who criticized Tim Tebow learned a lesson. Before you make negative comments, watch the ad. This turned out to be one of the better ones – and a great way to handle a difficult subject. Focus on the Family got a lot of value from its investment.

Shipyard worker with occupational arthritis wins discrimination case
A woman sacked after developing a disability at work has won her case for disability discrimination and unfair dismissal.
Louise Brooks, 31, was dismissed by her employer, ship repair company
A&P Falmouth, four years after being diagnosed with an arthritic
type disability.
Brooks' job involved dismantling and reassembling dockyard equipment,
which was repetitive work and required high levels of dexterity and
strength in her wrists.
She had started work in the shipyard when she was 16 but had to stop
working at the age of 27 after complaining of pains in her arms. She
was diagnosed with an arthritic disability and went on sick leave in
She was then dismissed in 2006, after spending the
greater part of the four years unpaid. Brooks won her case at the
Employment Tribunal after successfully arguing that A&P
discriminated against her by not making reasonable adjustments or
offering alternative work. The Tribunal criticised A&P for adopting
an 'out of sight, out of mind' approach to Brooks after she went on
sick leave.

The Best New Years Resolution Memes for 2020
02 January
New Year's is all about spending time with your friends, family, and thinking about how you can be a better person. Who am I kidding? It's about pretending to be better for a day or so, and then going back to your old ways and focus on New Years resolution memes instead of actually doing work.

Plus, most of the memes feature the Great Gatsby because we are back in the roaring 20s after all. So, wish everyone a happy New Year, and scout social media for the best memes for this new decade.

Reddit
You all spend way too much time on Reddit. Especially when you're supposed to be working. It is normal for that to be your New Year's resolution. But let's be honest, you're not changing. You're still going to spend hours in a Reddit hole, reading about insane Star Trek conspiracy theories and looking at memes. And, if you find any good ones please send them my way.

What's a resolution?
Dogs talking are always funny. Also, trying to explain society's weird traditions like "resolutions" or the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade sounds insane. Think about it, the world completes it's orbit around the sun and we somehow believe that we're gonna be better people even if we don't change at all. Hilarious.

Kylie Jenner said it.
We never stop learning. We never truly stop realizing stuff. So, make sure 2020 is really about realizing stuff. Or, the year we finally stop keeping up with the Kardashians. Either one is fine. Losing weight is too cliche. Instead focus on personal growth and make Google your new best friend.

"New me"
Some people gracefully slide into a new year with purpose and nice resolutions. Others (*cough me cough*) kinda slip and fall into the new year while being the same old person. Meaning we haven't changed one bit, and we're probably going to keep being a mess. Kinda like that girl. Face first and with no preparation whatsoever.

Get it together!
Yeah, we can take some baby steps towards being a good person. Or, hear me out, we can just be a good person. Say please and thank you, clean up after yourself, and sometimes think about other people. It's not that hard! But seriously, just trying to get your life together and actually taking action is better than making a list of resolutions and letting it gather dust while hanging on the fridge.

Expectations vs. Reality
We all know that the expectations are usually boring and unattainable. No one is actually meal prepping and going to the gym for the rest of the year. So, just focus on reality. And, if reality is you sitting on a couch and eating chips while re-watching "The Office" then let it be that. Wonder what Michael Scott's resolutions would be? Probably to be better at improv. Which is a terrible resolution to be honest.

A**hole
Let me tell you, "new year, new me" has never worked. We all know you're gonna try to be a better person, and by the end of January you'll be complaining to your friends about that annoying coworker who microwaves fish in the break room. Plus, we all know the only reason you're going through memes is because you are still hungover after the New Year's eve party.

Resolution
It's 2020. If your pictures are still blurry you're doing something wrong. Technology is more advance than ever and you can always use a YouTube tutorial to figure out Photoshop. Just use the right resolution so I can scroll through Instagram without having to squint.

Year vs. decade
Fight all you want about whether the decade ends with 2019 or 2020, but it's still terrifying to see 10 years of our life just fly by. Especially since this happened to be a very intense decade for many. Which seems obvious. Ten years are many years. Anyway, it's a shock to all we've made it this far, hopefully we kick butt in the next one.

Before talking
More people should think before speaking but some people's brains are just not connected to their mouths. We don't need people thinking they're gonna eat healthy or exercise daily. We need more people who think about what they're saying, or writing, or tweeting. Especially tweeting.

SURFSIDE (CBSMiami) — Nineteen World War II veterans were recognized Wednesday by France at a ceremony in Surfside.
The French Consulate awarded the insignia of "Knight in the National Order of the Legion of Honor" to the U.S. veterans who fought alongside France during the war.
The ceremony was held at Temple Shul in Surfside.
A statement from the French Consulate said the Legion of Honor was created to reward eminent military and civil merits in the service of France. It's the highest distinction that can be awarded on a French citizen or foreigner.
The Legion was founded in 1802 by Napoléon Bonaparte.
Notable Americans who have received the award include: Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, General Douglas MacArthur, the astronomer Simon Newcomb, Dwight D. Eisenhower and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Apple gave up on Xserve G5, its 1U rack server, more than a year ago, and with it, its drive to gain share in the enterprise server market. Apple doesn't talk about what doesn't work or why, but I speculate that Apple's enterprise program took so long to get off the ground that by the time success was within reach, the market had moved on.
Moved on to what? The Intel Inside campaign, which successfully tarred AMD and Mac PowerPC architectures as exotic and risky, deserves a share of the credit for scaring the market into staying in step with Intel's road map.
It is backing away from its unsuccessful enterprise push and targeting SMBs instead. That makes a lot of sense. I still see the enterprise as poorly served by available platform options, and I had hoped that Apple would make inroads for the enterprise's benefit. But Apple has chosen another community that really needs what Apple brings to the market. The objectives of the SMB market give that category reach beyond its apparent borders.
Of course SMBs need set-and-forget servers. Xserve Xeon with OS X Server delivers well more than its money's worth in functionality when compared with Windows Server System, and there are no client licenses. There are a lot of bicycle shops, private couriers, limousine companies, and landscape contractors who need one box that gives them a presence on the Web, reliable and spam-filtered e-mail, compatibility with Java server software, and click-and-go access to pre-built, self-installing open source projects. Xserve Xeon manages beautifully from the road, with its best quality being that only basic computing skills -- not server knowledge -- are required. I kid you not, and Leopard takes Apple's no-touch server story to a new level.
But outside the SMB domain, externally hosted services are replacing intranets for companies with geographically diverse workforces and which use a mix of contracted, local, and offshore workers. The push toward SaaS (software as a service) and other pay-as-you-go models do reduce the need for IT geniuses, but hosted services are like cable: The channel you really want to watch is always in the next tier. And hosted services don't just host your services. They host your data and see all of the Internet traffic generated in the course of your business.
It struck me in my first day of hands-on evaluation with Xserve Xeon that this server feels like an externally hosted service provider that just happens to be plugged in to your AC outlet and business DSL or cable jack. The x86 standard architecture -- to which Apple adhered but carried way beyond the mundane and familiar -- makes Xserve Xeon disappear. If you give Xserve Xeon a static IP address, it is the services portal for you, your co-workers, your contractors, your customers, and whoever else needs client services that work just as well with Windows as with any other OS. Instead of ponying up the extra dough for a service provider's backup facility, buy an extra Drive Module, slide it in and set up drag-and-drop or automated backup of your own.
This is a thread I'll keep pulling as Xserve Xeon matures and OS X Tiger Server gives way to next year's Leopard. But it looks as if Apple's come up with a buy-once approach to a healthy array of self-managing, secure external services. If it helps, just look at Xserve Xeon like a big DSL router. And I can send you a monthly bill for the services that came with the box.

First posts are always the most difficult. Promises today that more information, cards and creativity will flow as time goes on. I have been making cards, 3D projects and home decor items for years. I also dabbled in scrap booking. In the past year I became a participate in ACEP or (Altenew Educator Certification Program)#Altenew. I am still a first level. I have learned so much. I hope to continue to learn and share all my future projects with you. Today the post will be about the Irresistible Inking class taught by Sara Naumann. The course has 4 individual classes. Each one teaches different techniques using inks. I learned to use acrylic stamp blocks to put ink on paper. I had never done this before. It really turns plain paper into artsy looking background paper. Another technique was ink to paper by inking up a brayer and rolling the ink on. I incorporated both of these techniques in the card below.. The picture below is of my final card project for this class.

Below are a few pictures of my work space at different stages of this card making.

It's that time of the year when all the homes are enlightened with colourful lights and treat yourself with favourite savouries.Fireworks and crackers make it irresistible for us to stay away from them.Although dangerous we manage to make ourselves and near ones protected from it.However,our buddies on four wheelers are often left to fend for themselves.Instead of waking up the next morning with a sight of damaged vehicle,it is important to check the tips mentioned below.
Garage parking
For those who do not own a private parking space,making an arrangement for the one in this diwali is necessary irrespective of the ban on the crackers and fireworks.A covered garage will always protect the car from all kinds of threats from the fireworks.
Avoid car covers
Avoid car parking covers as most of the covers are not fire resistant or susceptible to sparks or fire when keeping the car outside in Diwali.
Alertness while driving
While driving,watch out for the people lighting firecrackers on the road side.In the event of a sudden loud cracker burst near you,there are chances that you loose control on your vehicle and steering .Moreover,you do not want the crackers going off near the fuel pipes and tank.
Keep windows shut
Always ensure that the car windows are tightly shut while running or when parked.The interior is inflammable and there is a possibility of catching fire form random bursts of the fireworks inside the car.
Fire Extinguisher
Festive season or otherwise make a habit to carry a fire extinguisher in the vehicle.Carrying it makes it easier to control the fire when in the awkward conditions.It should be kept where it is easily accessible.
As a responsible citizen,avoid burst the crackers behind someone else's car,just the way we don't want anyone playing around the car with the crackers.Let us make this Diwali bright and cheering with the diya and enlighten everyone around.Happy Diwali!

Dibspace Wonders If You Could Live One Year On Nothing But Virtual Coins
Dominic Canterbury, founder of dibspace.com, is looking to promote his site through an unusual pledge: to live one whole year on nothing but virtual coins. That's right. Dibspace.com's currency, known as dibits, are used for virtual bartering within the site where nearly half a million in goods and services have been acquired to date. Will a land lord be willing to accept Canterbury's offer? Read more after the jump.
Canterbury's pledge, as profound as it is, could be severely challenging for the Seattle based entrepreneur. Everything from food, lodging, entertainment and travel will have to be acquired using dibits. He has till the end of this month to get ready to live off dibits and doesn't seem to be worried.
"I'm excited," said Canterbury. "Living purely on a secondary currency is uncharted territory, but given the strength of the Dibspace economy, I should be able to live pretty lavishly.
There's over 1,500 goods and services available on the site and over 4,000 people have used the site to purchase goods or services. How does the site make money? Members are able to purchase dibits directly through the site using credit cards or paypal. Dibspace also aims to support small business and individuals through their services. By offering dibits-based services/goods to the community, the incentive strongly favors them to be chosen over competition.
"Freelancers, solopreneurs and small businesses of all stripes are turning to Dibspace in droves," said Canterbury. "With cash and clients in short supply, many are finding this new barter currency just might save them and their businesses from becoming another casualty of the economy."
Canterbury will be documenting his experience using blogs and videos and showcasing the lively economy of the Dibspace community. Follow his adventures here.

CHILDREN from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi are reportedly trafficked into Uganda for sexual exploitation, commercial and agricultural labour, according to a United States report.
CHILDREN from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi are reportedly trafficked into Uganda for sexual exploitation, commercial and agricultural labour, according to a United States report.
The leading traffickers, according to the report, are employers, companies which send security guards to Iraq and the LRA rebels.
"Some security companies in Kampala recruit Ugandans to serve as security guards in Iraq where, at times, reportedly they withhold their travel documents and pay as a means to prevent their departure; this may constitute trafficking.â€
The report is titled '2008 Trafficking in Persons' and was issued ON June 11.
Uganda, it said, is a destination of forced labour workers from Pakistan, India and China.
Ugandan children, the report states, are trafficked within or taken to Canada, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia for sexual slavery.
"Karimojong women and children are sold in cattle markets or by intermediaries and forced into domestic servitude, sexual exploitation, herding and begging,†the report said.
The report, the eighth of its kind, was released by the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on June 4 to raise the level of awareness worldwide and to stimulate action to address the crime of human trafficking.
The various forms of human trafficking, the report stated, constitute "modern-day slavery.â€
It singled out Uganda as "a steadfast partner†and promised to stand by any nation committed to fighting the crime.
"We are aware of that problem. The Government is dealing with it in collaboration with international partners,†internal affairs minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda said yesterday.
On the LRA, the report noted: "Until August 2006, the terrorist rebel organisation abducted children and adults in northern Uganda to serve as soldiers, sex slaves and porters.†It said the LRA exported its abductions to the Central African Republic and the DR Congo where at least 300 additional people, mostly children, were abducted since February.
Ugandan Police say child trafficking crimes increased last year. In a report, the Police chief Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura, said 54 children had been kidnapped, abducted or stolen. Seven victims of trafficking were rescued, the Police said.
The US report saluted a rights group, the Law and Advocacy for Women in Uganda, for delivering a private members Bill in Parliament urging legislators to address the problem.
"Together, we remain committed to act as a voice for the many voiceless victims of this crime,†the report said.

Security and Cryptography
The most serious data breaches that emerged in the last few years were initiated by compromising connected hardware devices. The most expensive security attacks today are found to be directed to industrial installations, sometimes with very dangerous threat for humans operating them.
An era of autonomous drive and driver less public transportation is about to come and all prototypes and experimentations would not live without communication over the Internet. The consequences of a malicious intrusion in such situations are even difficult to forecast.
Cryptography was born mainly for military communication, then adopted by financial institutions and governments and developed under the control of high tech institutions and big companies.
Today entire ranges of products we use are becoming a target for security attacks. Cryptography and the concept of Security by Design are fundamental while developing almost anything. Vehicles, industrial equipment, medical instruments, white goods and home automation accessories are fields of experience where Bluewind can help designing robust products with the help of our Security Experts.
Deploying the firmware during production and upgrading over the air requires that an architecture for secure federated identification and authorization is in place since the first field tests of a new product.
Bluewind is at the center of a network of specialists for all security needs. We have access to Universities labs, Penetration Testers, Software Solution Vendors. Bluewind Security Experts know the algorithms and architectures needed for a Secure by Design development process.

The issue of abandoned trolleys is a collective responsibility – between Council, local residents, shopping centre managers, shoppers and retailers.
Abandoned shopping trolleys should be reported directly to the appropriate owner of the trolley or their nominated collection service provider. Here are some useful contacts:
Lindfield - 9416 7496
Turramurra - 9449 4582
St Ives - 9394 3262
www.trolleytracker.com.au or 1800 641 497
We have a created a policy to provide a guide for Council staff, retailers, developers and the community on how to manage shopping trolleys so as to reduce trolley abandonment.
See Council's policy on Abandoned Shopping Trolleys (pdf. 331KB)
One great alternative to shopping trolleys is to use a personal shopping trolley bag with wheels, available from many discount variety stores for around $20.
This is very convenient for those who may not have a car and have to carry a lot of groceries home and are good for the environment as you can do away with plastic bags.
They fold down, are lightweight and can carry a full load of groceries.

Cara Cara is a navel orange with a flavourful, juicy pink flesh reminiscent of strawberries and raspberries. It's sweet and mildly acidic. Cara Cara is called Red Navel and ripens from autumn into winter. These oranges can be juiced, eaten or cooked into jams, jellies and other spreads. Production early May to mid/late June.
Navellates are also known as late navels. This type of eating orange is characterised by its deep orange colour and it delivers a delicious sweet burst of juicy goodness. Production is between early/mid-April and end-July/early August.
Delta is a smooth-rinded South African variety which resembles the Valencia but matures somewhat earlier. It's a seedless fruit of high quality and is popular because it's less acidic and thus great-tasting. Production is mid-June to mid-October.
Midknight is a larger fruit and virtually seedless. It has a high juice percentage and its intense flavour makes it excellent for eating or juicing. Production mid-June to end-September.
Rosé is a pink-fleshed grapefruit with some blush to the peel. It's thin-skinned with excellent flavour and masses of juice. Also known as Ruby Red, Tropical Ruby or Redblush.
Star Ruby is the benchmark standard of grapefruit for colour, flavour and fragrance. It's an attractive red-blushed fruit with a smooth yellow rind and the segmented flesh is aromatically bright, rich ruby in colour, juicy and low-seeded or seedless. Star Ruby's season of maturity is mid- to late-season, early April to early June.
White Marsh is the most popular variety of grapefruit. Both sweet and acidic, it has yellow-white flesh and yellow skin. Other Marsh grapefruits include the pink Marsh. Production is end-March/early April to end-July.
Soft Citrus
Clementines have a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. They can be separated into between 7 and 14 segments. They're almost always seedless and are typically juicy and sweet.
Mandarins are native to south-eastern Asia and the Philippines and are members of Citrus reticulate Blanco. Dubbed 'kid-glove' oranges, mandarins have a thin, loose peel. The name 'tangerine' can be applied as an alternate name to the whole group, but is usually confined to the types with red-orange skin in the trade. Smaller and less spherical than oranges, they're pebbly-skinned.
Nadorcotts are from Morocco or Spain. A patented, late-season seedless variety, it's distinguished by its red-orange colour and thinner peel. Nadorcott is decidedly less sweet and more tart and bitter in flavour than the other soft citrus varieties.
Novas are medium to large with the rind being a reddish-orange and the flesh deep orange. Juicy and sweet, production is from early March to end-June.
Satsumas owe their name to a former Japanese province, now Kagoshima Prefecture, on the southern tip of Kyushu Island, where they're believed to have originated. Medium-small to medium, oblate to sub-globose, satsumas are sometimes slightly necked and seedless. Its thin rind is somewhat leathery.

Winter is too much fun to be side-lined with a cold or flu. Wouldn't you rather be skiing, snowshoeing, fort- making and skating than staying indoors nursing your symptoms? Following the suggestions listed below will help you have a healthier season... and a quicker recovery when illness does occur!
1. Avoid sugar Refined sugar has been clinically shown to reduce immune function for up to 4 hours after ingestion. This does not just pertain to candies and sweets, however; bottled, jarred and prepared foods often have sugar in them (eg. salad dressings, mayonnaise, ketchup, pasta sauce, etc.). Sugar will be listed on ingredient labels as 'syrup', 'cane juice' or any word ending with '-ose' (eg. glucose, fructose, dextrose, lactose, etc.). Prevention: consciously reduce your sugar intake throughout the winter months. Treatment: at first sign of illness, completely eliminate all refined sugars from your diet, including most cough syrups.
2. Avoid dairy products when you are suffering from a cold or flu. Dairy products increase the natural production of mucus in your body. This can increase congestion in your sinuses, nose, throat, lungs, urinary tract and intestines, leading to greater discomfort and longer duration of illness. Dairy includes milk, butter, cheese, yogourt, ice cream, cottage cheese and anything else that originated in the udder of a cow, goat or sheep!
3. Drink water in preference to other beverages. Your body is ~70% water and requires adequate ingestion for optimal health. A good way to calculate your water needs in a day is half your body weight, in ounces. Eg. a 160 lb person requires 80 ounces of water each day (=10 cups or 2.5L) Caffeine (coffee, black tea, hot chocolate) and alcohol are diuretics and increase your need for water.
4. Move your body every day. Mild to moderate exercise on a daily basis, preferably in the morning, will help support your immune function. Begin with 3x weekly for 20+ minutes; your goal being 45minutes a day, 1 day for each decade of your life. Eg. if you are in your 60s, be active 6 days of the week. Also, be sure to spend at least 10 minutes outside each day, breathing deeply.
5. Probiotic supplementation Probiotics, such as Acidophilus and Bifidus, are the friendly bacteria that reside primarily in your digestive tract and are a very important frontline factor in your immune health. These bacteria are negatively impacted by the use antibiotics as well as the chlorine in your water, pesticides on your foods, and inadequate fibre intake. Taking 1 capsule daily will help prevent infection this winter.
Also of great importance is the consumption of foods abundant in health-promoting nutrients. Did you know that vegetables and fruits contain a nutrient profile that is not found in any other food group? If you are 160lb, aim for 600g of vegetables (raw weight) each day.
And perhaps most importantly, pleasure has been shown to positively impact immune function... so have fun out there on the snow this season!

Sects, lies, displays of hate
NEW Zealanders awoke this week to the startling allegation that the country was being run by Darth Vader, who surprisingly is a lesbian and one who looks very much like Helen Clark. Cartoons parodying the Labour Prime Minister do not usually count as serious news across the Tasman, but they do when the political climate is charged with claims of adultery and corruption, denials of covert homosexuality, and the re-emergence of the secretive Exclusive Brethren.
Tension between Clark and the leader of the main opposition National Party, Don Brash, has been building for some time, ever since Brash's views on race relations caught Labour off-guard two years ago.
However, after months of rising anger, this week it turned extraordinarily feral. Clark felt it necessary to deny that her husband, Peter Davis, is gay, a denial that was repeated despite scant evidence to suggest that he is.
The Young Nationals did its worst to push things downhill midweek with the Darth Vader cartoon, posted on its website, showing Clark's head on the dark Star Wars villain's body. The caption read: "Luke, I am your lesbian father."
THE National Party needs to topple Clark to win office. She is to Labour what John Howard is to the Liberal Party, without the competition for the leadership. Her deputy, the Finance Minister, Michael Cullen, doesn't want her job. Her authority is unquestioned.
In many ways, she is the fifth Labour Government - at least, she's seen that way - which is why the National Party calls Wellington "Helengrad".
Much of the political discourse has become so personal because Clark so dominates political life, far more so than her recent predecessors.
She's been dubbed the Minister for Everything, and should the National Party lower her popularity, it's got a much better chance of leading a coalition after the 2008 election.
However, targeting Clark is risky, even if it is necessary. She has a reputation for giving back as good, or better, as she gets. That combination - punch and counter-punch - has done more than anything else to light this week's flames.
The temperature began to rise early in 2004 when Brash gave a controversial speech to Rotarians attacking the Maori "grievance industry" and claiming there was "dangerous drift towards racial separatism".
It gave him a huge boost in the polls, surprisingly so in a country that prides itself on its race relations and that is particularly fond of comparing the lot of most Maori to Australian Aborigines.
Clark claims the speech was nothing more than dog whistling to those who believe Maori get special treatment. Brash says it was an unremarkable declaration that there should be one rule for all.
In any event, it stung Labour, which took months to counter the U-turn in the National Party's political fortunes, and the effects of that surprise have done much to alter the landscape.
Even niggly things increase the pressure. Brash caused one furore when he accused Clark of being indifferent to marriage, and another when he justified his loss in an election debate by virtue of his opponent's gender: "I think it's not entirely appropriate for a man to aggressively attack a woman and I restrained myself for that reason."
At last September's election, Labour narrowly held off the resurgent National Party to lead the governing coalition, but things have not settled down.
The former associate education minister, David Benson-Pope, was labelled a "pervert" in Parliament for entering a girls' dormitory while he was a headmaster. The attorney-general, David Parker, was forced to resign - unjustly, it turned out - after Investigate magazine accused him of filing false company declarations. A third minister, Taito Phillip Field, was forced out of office by an immigration scandal.
Things got really out of hand over the use of public funds for political advertising, which led the National Party to call Clark's Government the most corrupt in New Zealand's history.
Few but Brash see the spending as corruption, but in a country declared the second-least corrupt in the world, the allegation hurts.
In a draft report, the Auditor-General determined that Labour's advertising spending was unlawful. The National Party used that finding to call Labour's spending corrupt, despite it having spent public money in a similar fashion. The audit finding annoyed Clark, but she erupted when she was called corrupt.
Debate in the House of Representatives deteriorated to such a point - National MPs screaming at Labour ministers, ministers screaming back - that the minor parties threatened a parliamentary walkout. And that was before the gay rumours and claims that the Exclusive Brethren had hired a private investigator to dig for prime ministerial dirt.
A well-known former detective was named by Television New Zealand as the man hired by the reclusive sect to tag Davis, a claim supported by Clark. The reclusive Christian sect despises the liberal social policies of both Labour and the Greens, including civil unions for gay couples.
During last year's election, the sect poured large amounts of secretive cash into the election campaign to try and help the National Party win power, despite its prohibition on its members voting in elections. When the Exclusive Brethren's involvement became public, Brash initially falsely denied meeting sect members. When his denial came unstuck, Clark had a chance to fulminate against the surreptitious campaigning by "extremely right-wing people".
New Zealanders, in the main, are uncomfortable with religion entering politics, and it rarely does, which is why the Exclusive Brethren's involvement attracts so much attention.
It denies hiring a private investigator to follow Clark's husband, as does the detective named, but it strongly defends its right to influence politics.
After its secretive involvement in the election, Clark's claim that the Exclusive Brethren flogged innuendo when it found no dirt on her husband resonated.
The Sunday Star-Times published a denial of a suggestion raised by Investigate's publication of a photograph of Davis being embraced by former candidate Ian Scott on election night. It was innocuous. One commentator told the Herald the man had a habit of embracing people, regardless of their willingness. However, the rumours fitted neatly with an old story about a sham marriage, which first circulated even before Clark entered Parliament in 1981, a story that was usually evidenced by her physical appearance and the fact the couple is childless.
"I think that there has been quite a concerted campaign for many years to smear me," Clark told one television program. "Now there's an attempt to have a go at my husband. They can spend as much as they like on the private investigator. There's nothing to find."
She said his life was "so dull" and the highlight of his daily life seemed to be getting the bus home at night, something prime ministerial spouses do in New Zealand.
As far as it is possible to tell, all the rumours are bunkum, but the Prime Minister strongly defended her husband, stoking a fire few think should have been lit, and aiming her fury squarely at the National Party and the Exclusive Brethren.
BRASH says most of Clark's reaction was a diversion from the political funding controversy, but he has good reason to keep things clean because he has his own problems.
As the country's central banker, he was best known for thriftily washing his socks in overseas hotel basins, but now he's an adulterous libertine, struggling to stay leader of his party.
Two alternative leadership teams were publicly floated after he took leave last week to save his marriage, following an affair with a wealthy business lobbyist.
Unlikely as it may seem for a decidedly beige man, Brash has adulterous form: while first married, he had an affair with his secretary, Je Lan, who is now his unimpressed second wife.
His insistence on repeatedly calling Clark corrupt is doing nothing to calm the situation. Besides, Labour isn't as clean as Clark makes out. Brash's affair became public in part because of leaks from a testy National Party caucus meeting, but also from a loud-mouthed Labour minister, Trevor Mallard, whose intemperate interjection in Parliament did much to torpedo Clark's claim that her side does not play dirty.
Mallard was duly scolded by his leader, but her case wasn't helped by saying Brash had a "corrosive and cancerous" effect on political discourse.
Few know where this will end. Clark says it is when Brash goes; Brash says it's when Labour pays back the unlawful spending. Mercifully, Parliament is in recess and the Darth Vader cartoon has gone.

School Heritage
Our Heritage
Dulwich International High School Suzhou was the sixth school to join the Dulwich College International family of schools. Dulwich International High School Suzhou is made up of approximately 750 students from age 14 to age 19, with over six different nationalities represented in our diverse student body.
Our links to Dulwich College, founded in 1619, are strong, and we collaborate closely with the other schools in the network to encourage an international outlook and create an extended community where academic ability is fostered, creativity is valued, and diversity is celebrated.
We are proud to share a common heritage with all the schools in the DCI network, and equally value the traditions, unique to our school, that we have created since we opened.
Our Traditions
A school's traditions help to build a sense of belonging and community spirit. They also provide a thread of continuity from one generation of students to another and connect the school to its past, present and future. Here are some of the annual traditions in the life of Dulwich International High School Suzhou.
Halloween Treasure Hunt
This event is unique to our school. During the day the whole student body is invited to dress up in Halloween or other costumes and each form votes for the student with the most ingenious or outstanding costume. There is a parade of all the winners at lunchtime in the gym and the best three costumes in the school are selected by a panel of judges. Students pay a nominal amount to take part, and the proceeds go to one of our charities. In the evening we have a Halloween-themes dinner. The treasure hunt in the evening is a student-led and organised event that involves almost every student and teacher in the school. In teams of up to 20, they go on a frantic hunt for clues concealed around the school, trying to beat the clock and the other teams. Each cryptic clue reveals the location of the next clue and the clues become increasingly difficult. Some of the clues involve the solving of difficult Maths brain teasers and only a few teams manage to find and solve them all.
Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony
Our students gather in the lobby in front of the Christmas tree for carols sung by a mixed choir of students and staff and a performance by our handbells group before the Christmas tree lights are switched on.
Chinese New Year Celebration
We spend a day celebrating Chinese culture in all its rich and varied forms. Year 10s are off timetable for the day and we invite students from Suzhou High School SIP, DCSZ and No. 6 Middle School to come and join us. The students participate in two workshops covering a diverse range of activities, including Chinese calligraphy, olive pit carving, tea ceremony, dumpling making, Chinese opera and paper-cutting. The day culminates in a concert for all our students and our visitors including some outside performers, such as Chinese opera singers, gymnasts and face-changers. The event is organised by our Chinese Department and our parents.
Video Challenge
Students are invited to join the Video Challenge competition, which involves students working in groups to produce a short video that is judged by a panel including a prominent local film producer. There are numerous categories of videos and prizes are awarded for music composition, videography, choreography, best actor, best producer, and most creative script. The competition culminates in a glamorous and glittering Academy Award-like event, showcasing the winners of our annual Talent Show and some of our best of our school bands.
The Anniversary of the Official Opening of our SIP Campus
We hold a special annual event to celebrate the official opening of our new school campus on the 22nd of April, which also coincides with two other special events: Earth Day on the 22nd of April and Shakespeare's birthday on the 23rd. The annual Dulwich Shakespeare Festival had its origins in our school and we feel a special connection with Shakespeare and Edward Alleyn, an Elizabethan actor who founded Dulwich College. We place a high value on sustainability and take seriously our individual ethical responsibility for the care and the protection of our planet. All the students work on the theme of sustainability and we hold a special assembly to celebrate this meaningful day for Dulwich International High School Suzhou.
Student Leadership
We encourage students to involve themselves in the wider school community and offer support to one another. Our Student Council is made up of students from each year group, who learn to listen and work with one another while voicing the views of their peers. Our most senior students are encouraged to take on additional responsibilities and to act as ambassadors for the school. Each year, our Head Boy and Head Girl are selected from our most senior students and a select number of students are nominated to take on the role of prefects. Our student leadership team set a strong example to younger students and acts as a point of contact for students throughout the school.
Pastoral Care and the House System
The system of pastoral care is highly developed at Dulwich International High School Suzhou. Every student is supported by the form tutor as well as the school's pastoral team, and our students follow a Personal, Social and Health Education course appropriate to their age and coordinated across the year groups.
Our House system is a key component of the school's pastoral care structure, building a sense of community within the student body and helping to develop students' leadership skills. Our House Captains are responsible for helping to organise House activities, which normally take the form of friendly competitions.
Our Houses
On arriving at our school, all students and staff are allocated to one of four Houses, where they remain during their time with us. Our Houses are named after inspirational and accomplished people: Fan Zhongyan, Sir Richard Grenville, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Edmund Spenser.
Named for Fan Zhongyan (989 – 1052). Fan Zhongyan is one of the most prominent figures in Chinese history. As a founder of Neo-Confucianism and a great statesman, philosopher, writer, educator, military strategist, and philanthropist, Fan was one of the most eminent figures of the Song Dynasty. Fan rose to the seat of Chancellor over the entire Chinese empire nearing the zenith of its pre-modern economic, social, and cultural development. Fan 's philosophical, educational and political legacy is one which changed the course of Chinese history, one so powerful that it continues to exert a profound impact on Chinese civilization today and his philosophy and writings remain a core component of the Chinese literary canon.
Named for Sir Richard Grenville (1542 – 1591). Sir Richard Grenville was an English sea captain and explorer who is best remembered for fighting heroically against overwhelming odds, and refusing to surrender his ship. His single ship, the Revenge, met 53 Spanish war ships near Flores in the Azores where he and his crew fought them in a three-day running battle. Grenville was also a soldier, merchant fleet owner, privateer and explorer.
Named for Sir Walter Raleigh (1552 – 1618). Sir Walter Raleigh was an English adventurer, writer and soldier. He played an instrumental role in the English colonisation of North America and conducted two expeditions to Venezuela.
Named for Edmund Spenser (1552/1553 – 1599). Edmund Spenser was an English poet who is remembered for single-handedly creating a new form of English poetry of which the nation and Queen Elizabeth I could be proud. To this day he is considered one of the greatest writers in the English poetic tradition. He is best known for The Faerie Queene, an epic poem and fantastical allegory.
Students at DHSZ are required to wear school uniform, reflecting a long-standing tradition from Dulwich College. Uniform is a badge of pride and school identity.

Homemade Christmas Decorations: Scrabble Tile Christmas Magnet Boards
My husband has a rule in our house – that no Christmas movies are allowed to be watched, and no Christmas decorations are allowed to be put up, until he has consumed his very last bite of Thanksgiving dinner.
He's the only one in this house who follows that rule. 😉
I'm a Christmas nut.
I inherited it from my mother and I plan to pass this lovely gene onto my children. My daughters had their kids Christmas tree up in their room before December 1st (based on their request, not mine!).
ALL Christmas movies on Netflix have already been watched. (I recently purchased this Hallmark Holiday Collection DVD because I'm out of Christmas movies to watch (and I don't have cable) I am very much enjoying my decorated house for the most wonderful time of the year.
As of late, I'm having fun creating my own Christmas decorations, ranging from a Ribbon Christmas Card Display, Tizzy Yarn Christmas Trees, or this Christmas wreath.
I have also created a homemade Christmas decoration in the form of these Scrabble Tile Christmas Magnet Boards. If you want to learn how to make these yourself – then check out this tutorial on how to make your own homemade DIY magnet boards!
These are a holiday spin-off other inspirational magnet boards that I have for sale over in my Handmade Amazon shop.
This year I created a line of Christmas inspired magnet boards, all using scrabble tiles. Each scrabble tile has a rare earth magnet attached to it, so that it will attach to the circular tin magnetic board.
This "Merry Christmas" Scrabble tile magnet board pictured above is actually for sale over on my Handmade Amazon shop for less than $20 shipped! (recently sold out!)
I have a few different varieties to choose from – each with both scrabble time magnets and other seasonal magnets such as a Christmas tree and glitter glass magnet, representing the star.
Oh Holy Night is my favorite Christmas carol and I love seeing the title of this using scrabble tiles!
Farmhouse and rustic decor is all the rage right now – and these magnet boards fit right into that trendy theme!
The wood of the scrabble tiles and in this case the wooden snow flakes hanging above a milk paint distressed mantel would look just lovely!
Peace, Love, Joy. Three of my favorite words to ponder and reflect on this time of year.
Since these are magnet letters, you can easily move them around the board. You can use them to hold up pictures! Maybe you could even attach your favorite Christmas card to one of these boards.
And if you have anyone with a sense of humor in your home, you are bound to see "CEEPA, VOLE, YOJ" before the season ends. 😉
Let us celebrate Christmas together with these homemade Christmas decorations.
And if you don't want to make this yourself, that's OK! I've got you covered!
There are multiple styles and Christmas phrases available for sale. Take a look and shop OVER HERE! Again – all of these are for less than $20, including shipping!

They can grab a single SOIC pin, but the plastic head is so big you can only probe one at a time, not 2 adjacent ones.

These IC clips to pigtails are great for testing .. I have used for my breadboard to connect power and also to test my servos, the pigtail pins fit great into the servo plugs. Great stuff I will share it with my other friends who love this stuff as much as I do.

Quite useful for hooking up parts I want to test and not damage by soldering leads.

dave2, "description suggests only huge packages" is reasonably accurate. I'm sitting here with a package of these in my hand. I'd say they will be good for 0.1 headers, solderless breadboard work, passive lead clipping, standard dips, meaty connection points like that. I don't expect these would do well with fine pitch ICs. These are NOT micro-grabbers. At $5 for 5 don't expect them to be.

Any idea how fine these can tap single IC pins? Looking for something which can cope with at least 0.8mm pitch TQFP. Bonus points if it can live with 0.65mm SSOP or 0.5mm TQFP.
 SOIC in description suggests only huge packages.

This blog is part of our Rails 5 series.
In Rails 5, whenever we define a
belongs_to association,
it is required to have the associated record
present by default after this change.
It triggers validation error if associated record is not present.
As we can see,
we can't create any
post record
without having an associated
user record.
How to achieve this behavior before Rails 5
In Rails 4.x world To add validation on
belongs_to association,
we need to add option

By default,
required option is set to

We can pass

Accidental death and dismemberment coverage provides you and your family with the security of knowing that in the event of a tragic accident, your family will be financially stable. If your loved one passes away or becomes dismembered after an unexpected disabilty accident, this type of insurance may pay out benefits to help you cover medical costs and continue paying daily living expenses, such as mortgage or rent, or it may pay a lump sum one time payment.
Unlike life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment coverage provides disability benefits if the insured loses a limb, speech, hearing or sight from an accident. The comparatively low premiums of this type of insurance, compared to its substantial payouts, make this a wise investment for any family or business. However, loved ones are left dealing with grief and wondering how to stay afloat when accidental death and dismemberment claims are unfairly denied by the insurance companies.
There are time limits to all legal claims and any delay in proceeding may be subject to a deadline. You should not delay in proceeding with your accidental death or dismemberment claim or obtaining legal advice to clarify these deadlines.

Once upon a time, a business page in Facebook could reach their entire audience, those who have "liked" or "followed" their page, with each post they made. Given the social and sharing nature of Facebook, experts estimate a successful Facebook post could reach up to 300% of their audience, via engagement and sharing with friends. Once Facebook became a public company, however, those numbers sharply fell by over 50 percent, due to changes in algortihims and Facebook's desire to increase "sponsored" (paid) advertising.
The good news is there are proven methodologies. It is absolutely still possible to create very successful organic marketing on Facebook Mari Smith, often referred to as the 'Queen of Facebook' - has written an informative article to help small business owners increase their organic outreach thru 3 simple steps.
