How to Repair a Leaking Concrete Tile Roof
Though a correctly installed concrete tile roof will usually be durable enough to prove an ideal house covering, this doesn't stop problems that can arise if it is hit by a tree branch or adverse weather. By carefully following the required steps, you will find it relatively easy to replace any leaking tiles.
Step 1 – Inspect Roof
Begin the repair process by examining the entire concrete tile roof to determine the full extent of the damage; this will let you know how many replacement tiles are required. Though you may be able to see damaged tiles from the ground, a proper inspection should still be undertaken in which you directly examine the tiles up close. Doing this will ensure that you do not miss any tiles that are cracked and appear that they are still intact.
Though you may not be able to access the roof from the attic, you may be able to get an idea of the extent of the damage if there has been water damage to the attic.
Step 2 – Gather Equipment
Once you are aware of how many tiles need replacing, you can be sure that you will get the correct number of replacements. If necessary, remove one of the broken or cracked tiles from the concrete tile roof and take this with you when you purchase new ones. Gather all the other equipment you will need to complete the job, including shoes with suitable soles that will allow you to move around on the roof without breaking further tiles or slipping.
Step 3 – Remove Damaged Tiles
Ascend the ladder with your tools and carefully make your way to the leaking section of the concrete tile roof. If several tiles must be replaced, begin at one end and work your way across. Identify the first tile to be removed and carefully lift the tile above it enough to allow you to slide the crowbar beneath it. Let the length of the crowbar rest diagonally and to the right on the roof that is intact. You can then lift the tile to the left of the one to be removed and keep it held up with the other crowbar. You can then slide the tile out of place, though you may need to raise it first to unhook it from its holding.
Step 4 – Replace Tiles
To replace new tiles onto your concrete tile roof, reverse the procedure that you used to remove the tiles. Though the crowbars should provide sufficient clearance to enable you to see the holdings, adjust them if it is necessary. Otherwise, it should be easy to carefully manipulate the tile into place. Once you are satisfied that it is properly aligned with the neighboring tiles, hold onto the raised tiles as you carefully slide the first crowbar from where it is wedged, being careful to avoid scratching any tiles in the process, do the same with the second crowbar. If the broken tiles have caused damage to the flashing, ensure that you also replace this.

Expert Gardening Tips for Growing your Own Herbs
Author: Annie Deakin
Growing your own herbs is easy once you know how, and can add colour and scent to your garden or windowsill all year round. Ceri Thomas, editor of Which? Gardening gives advice on stockists and suppliers, and all you need to grow three of the most popular herbs basil, coriander and rosemary.
Supermarket herbs
Many common kitchen herbs are now available from supermarkets as potted plants, but they can be tricky to keep going. However, the majority of these, such as basil, coriander and parsley, are actually a collection of seedlings crammed into the pot rather than a single established plant. You can use this to your advantage and it can be an easy, convenient way to get a lot of herb plants. Just separate the individual seedlings, and re-pot separately.
Growing from seed is the cheapest method for annual herbs. Cut parsley, coriander and chives to within 5cm of the base before re-potting, and separate the individual plantlets and re-pot each one in its own container. Take care when dividing coriander, parsley and basil, as they all resent having their roots disturbed. If basil has become leggy, you can re-plant it more deeply to encourage stronger growth.
How to grow basil
You can start sowing basil towards the end of March in a greenhouse or on a sunny windowsill. It's very sensitive to cold and will blacken at the slightest hint of frost, so make sure your early sowings are protected. Once the young plants reach about 15cm tall, remove the shoot tip to encourage more leafy growth and a bushier plant. When the warmth of June arrives, you can sow another batch outside and move any indoor plants outside to the patio. Make a final sowing in August to give you fresh basil into autumn.
Alternatively, you can buy basil in posts from the supermarket or garden centre. Look for bushy plants with lots of side-shoots and no sign of flowering. You can then make more plants by taking cuttings.
Keep your basil in the sunniest spot that you can find - preferably a south-facing windowsill or patio, once there's no risk of frost. Water sparingly and remove flower spikes - if these are allowed to mature, your plants will stop growing new leaves.
Pick individual leaves from the top of the plant and feed with a liquid fertiliser afterwards. Then leave it to grow again. If you find that you have a bumper crop at the end of summer, pick the lot and make it into pesto. It freezes really well if you leave out the parmesan, which can be added before use.
Recommended varieties of basil
Sweet basil, often sold as 'Sweet Genovese' has the classic basil taste. Greek basil is compact and bushy with tiny leaves, so there's no need to chop them before cooking. 'Green Ruffles' has the classic basil flavour with a crinkly leaf texture, while 'Thai basil' is spicy and hot.
'Cinnamon basil' has a flavour rather like aniseed sweets, or for a fresh lemony tang try 'Mrs Burns' Lemon'. For ornamental use in window boxes or edging beds, try 'Purple Ruffles' for its crinkly purple leaves.
How to grow coriander
Coriander doesn't like being moved, so it's best sown where you want it to grow, either in the ground or in large pots. Sow in late spring or early summer, and in August sow some more in pots on the windowsill for a supply during autumn and winter. Well-drained soil in a sunny spot is essential for growing coriander, and if you're growing it indoors on a windowsill, give it plenty of light and don't over water.
Coriander is annoyingly quick to flower and set seed before it has produced much leaf, so it's best to sow little and often. Watch out for fine, feathery leaves - a sure sign the plants are about to flower.
Keep picking mature leaves as and when you need them. Regular cropping should delay flowering, but once the plants do flower, allow them to set seed. The seed is ripe when it stops smelling unpleasant. Collect it and use in cooking, keeping some to sow for another crop.
Recommended varieties of coriander
If you want the leaves choose 'Cilantro' and 'Leisure', which are slow to form seeds. If it's seed you're after, go for Moroccan coriander.
How to grow rosemary
Rosemary is widely available as established plants in garden centres for planting in spring. For more plants, take cuttings from young shoots in spring or summer. Rosemary is slightly tender and needs a sunny, sheltered position in well-drained soil; it does well in chalky soils. If you are growing it in a container, add some grit to the compost to aid drainage and don't over water. After flowering in March, trim into shape and feed.
You can pick leaves from this evergreen all year round. It's a good idea to dry some leaves at the end of summer if you want to use lots of rosemary over the winter, or add a sprig to olive oil for salad dressings.
Recommended varieties of rosemary
The Common rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is the hardiest form and most used in cooking. 'Miss Jessopp's Upright' is a more vigorous and upright variety and makes a good focal point in a herb bed.
The Prostratus Group are low-growing forms ideal for the top of a wall or rock garden. Corsican rosemary has a more pungent scent.

The Alternative Funding: New Solutions To Old Problems conference has been well received and generated plenty of media coverage, notably from our friends at Share Radio. Hear Money&Co. CEO Nicola Horlick interviewed by Share Radio's Ed Bowsher.
But alternative sources of finance are still a minority taste – for the moment at least. Witness a new report published today by TheCityUK, a financial-services campaigning group, and accountants and consultants, EY. It finds that future European financial stability could be at risk over the long-term because of a lack of sufficient knowledge and awareness about complementary and alternative forms of finance among EU growth companies.
News aggregation site Mondovisione comments: "The report argues that not only could this hinder their future growth potential, but that sole reliance on bank funding could leave businesses exposed in the event of future economic downturns if credit supplies are constrained, or when quantitative easing stops.
"Following the publication of the European Commission's Action Plan on Capital Markets Union (CMU), the report – 'Capital Markets Union: The perspective of European growth companies' – found that most of the 37 mid-sized EU companies surveyed expressed reluctance to 'step into the unknown' of alternative financing. Just over half had little or no knowledge of complementary or alternative financing sources, with two-thirds stating their intention to remain loyal to bank funding as their sole source of finance – despite many admitting to applying for less funding than needed for fear of being turned down. Overall, with more than 50% citing lack of information and awareness as a critical or very important issue, the report highlights the need for this – along with better information and advice from financial providers and advisers – to be addressed."
The full report is available here.

- Aviary
An aviary is a large enclosure for confining
birds. Unlike "cages", aviaries allow birds a larger living space where they can fly; hence, aviaries are also sometimes known as "flight cages". Aviaries often contain plants and shrubbery to simulate a natural environment.
Types of aviaries
Public aviary
Large aviaries are often found in the setting of a zoological garden (for example,
London Zoo, Washington Zoo and San Diego Zoo).
Pittsburgh is home to the USA's
National Aviary, perhaps the most prominent example of an aviary not set inside a zoo. The first large aviary inside a zoological garden was established in 1880 in the setting of the Rotterdam Zoo.
In 1902, a flying cage was completed in the setting of the National Zoological Park of the
Smithsonian Institution.A new "Great Flying Cage" was built in 1964. [ [http://siarchives.si.edu/findingaids/faru0074.htm National Zoological Park, Records, 1887-1966] , Smithsonian Institution Archives.]
The Saint Louis Zoo is home to the 1904 World's Fair Flight Cage. It is one of only two permanent structures built for the World's Fair which still remain (the other is the
Saint Louis Art Museum's Cass Gilbertbuilding). In 1904, it was the largest bird cage ever built. It remains one of the world's largest free-flight aviaries. The convert|228|ft|m long, convert|84|ft|m wide, and convert|50|ft|m high cage was built specifically for the St. Louis World's Fair. Local pride in the giant cage motivated St. Louis to finally establish a zoo in 1910.

Home aviary
Home aviaries are popular with bird fanciers who have the space for them. Many bird breeders list themselves as "aviaries", since most bird pairs breed best in aviaries in contrast to breeding "cages". The traditional home aviary is a
do-it-yourselfproduct, although these days sturdy, commercial aviaries are available to fit all spaces (indoor/outdoor), sizes and budgets.
There are two main subcategories of home aviaries: grounded aviaries and suspended aviaries. Grounded aviaries are affixed to the ground with a
concretebase to prevent rats and other vermin from entering. Suspended aviaries are suspended in the air with only the 'legs' of the aviaries affixed to the ground; hence, the need for a protective base is eliminated in suspended aviaries. Most grounded aviaries typically feature a woodworkor PVCframe unlike the metalframe of public aviaries; however, it isn't uncommon for suspended aviaries to feature a metal frame.

5th Class took part in the Big Grow Project again this year.
Planting our cress, peas and tomatoes was pretty messy but we didn't mind!
We watered our plants and left them on a sunny window sill in our classroom to help them grow. We really enjoyed it although we have found that growing tomatoes is a little tricky!
During our Science lessons we learned more about plants including how they reproduce and all about photosynthesis. We then learned about many different plants that changed the world. In groups, we chose one of these plants to investigate further and we presented our projects to our class.
When it had been growing for a while, we tasted the cress (mixed reactions!!) and this week we transplanted our tomato plants into bigger pots.
We hope to harvest our pea shoots soon and we are still keeping our fingers crossed for some tomatoes before the end of the year!

The draft Toxicological Review of hexachloroethane provides scientific support and rationale for the hazard and dose-response assessment pertaining to chronic exposure to hexachloroethane. Hexachloroethane (C2Cl6) is a colorless, nonflammable, crystalline solid primarily used in the military for pyrotechnic devices. Hexachloroethane has been used as a polymer additive, moth repellant, plasticizer for cellulose esters, insecticide solvent, and for refining aluminum alloys. Hexachloroethane is not commercially distributed in the United States. Exposure to hexachloroethane is primarily occupational, via inhalation and dermal exposure during hexachloroethane manufacturing and metal refining. Exposure may occur in military or civilian personnel working with pyrotechnic devices containing hexachloroethane and via ingestion of contaminated drinking water or fish. Hexachloroethane was identified in Superfund sites.
This assessment contains the derivation of a chronic oral reference dose (RfD), chronic inhalation reference concentration (RfC), and an oral cancer slope factor.
|The oral RfD and cancer assessment for hexachloroethane was posted to the IRIS database.
|Apr 2010
|EPA initiated the interagency science consultation on the draft Toxicological Review of Hexachloroethane.
|May 2010
|EPA released the draft Toxicological Review and federal agency comments from the Interagency Science consultation. Additionally, EPA released the External Review Draft of Hexachloroethane for public review and comment.
Following external peer review the draft report will be revised taking into consideration external peer review and public comments, will undergo a final EPA internal review and a review by a science discussion with other federal agencies and White House offices, and then will finally be posted to the IRIS Web site.

How to Deal with Homesickness when Studying Away from Home
written by myrra kate
(Note: I'm sorry for not posting yesterday, loves! I didn't forget though; I just was so preoccupied with academic things – particularly, an assignment in a major subject. That was why I slept last night feeling guilty that I hadn't had the chance to blog. Anyhow, here's to compensate for what I've missed! Happy reading!)
When I first came here in my university as a freshman student, I became so homesick. I was so used to being with my family and friends that when I entered this unfamiliar territory, I felt like a stranger. I didn't know anyone and I felt so lost. Nights were spent crying over the things I miss back home and days were spent thinking of what it may be like, at that moment, back home. Home indeed is where you belong, and this – this new place – may just be somewhere I couldn't ever belong to.
READ: What It's Like Taking College Away from Home
But that's because I thought of it like that. According to Dr. Josh Kaplow of the University of Alabama at Birmingham as was cited in the Her Campus site, "[Homesickness is] not about missing home—[your] house, [your] bed. Very often it's about missing what's normal and comfortable, what we're used to, and not quite being comfortable with your new way of life." He also added that "feeling homesick is part of learning to live a new life—you can't do it without going through some sort of adjustment period."
Thus, homesickness, unless it reached the most severe level, is not something to be worried so much about because it's normal. We go through it while adapting to a new environment.
This is also where we can probably the quote "mind over matter". Because I thought of my new university as someplace I do not belong to, that's what I felt is truly happening to me. So the day I started to work on it and realize that it's just normal to miss home and what used to be my everyday life there, I have finally accepted and embraced my new life.
Here are some tips in dealing with homesickness for when you're studying abroad or away from home, or even when you simply are staying in a place quite far from home:
1. Read about it.
Simply put, when you know what you're feeling or experiencing and have processed the how's and why's of it then surely, you will have found a way to get out of it. In this case, knowing more about homesickness through research, books, or advice from other people will let you understand that "Yes, right now, I may have this trouble but I have ways to solve it."
2. Let it out.
Don't be embarrassed that you're feeling this way. We, as people who adapt to new surroundings and things, usually feel homesick even when we are not aware of it. We can feel it in varying degrees and we may get over it in different ways.
So cry if you need to, write if you want to, yell if you like to. As long as you're not harming anybody then let it out. It's good to release the bad vibes and welcome the good ones, right?
3. Call home… sometimes.
Don't hesitate to call your parents or text your friends to ask how they are doing or what you are missing back home. It's fine, go ahead! Communication is indeed necessary, especially in times like this.
However, don't do it too much. Let yourself slowly adjust to a life away from them and a life that you will have to independently live. By doing so, you are making yourself more mature and more resilient.
4. Busy yourself with other relevant things.
This is where reading books or binge-watching your favorite series will probably help you in busying yourself. This is for you not to think of home too much.
You can also find some organizations that you'd like to be a part of or maybe even volunteer. Just do some things that would take your mind off home. Then, let's see how it goes.
5. Find and meet new friends.
Cmon, you didn't actually go here just to live a lonely life, correct? Go and meet new friends. Have conversations with lots of people so you can be more aware of what it is like in your new place or what your college life would be. Who knows, maybe some or one of these people may be a true friend you will treasure in the future, right?
6. Be familiar with your new place and the new people in it.
Not only by doing #5 can you familiarize yourself with your new environment but also by traveling. You may visit some new places either with a friend or alone. Find cafes that you can hang out to or benches that will give you that peaceful feeling. Just go and wander! Make yourself a place in your 'new' home and find somewhere you feel you belong to.
7. Keep a journal.
This isn't required, of course, but this sure helps a lot. Writing your feelings out may give you that satisfaction that someone is actually listening to you and accepting you as you are, even with your private thoughts. Trust me, journals are one of the bestest friends you can even have (even if the relationship is only one-way perhaps).
8. Know that it will just pass.
Everything does. You'll be shocked that one day, you're already used to your new life to the point where you actually don't want to leave it. Just remember that even if what you're feeling now may seem somewhat unbearable and endless, it actually is the opposite. Remember, though, that sometimes, it takes an effort in getting out of your shell and adapting to the new life you have. And yes, actually, this is growing up. This is you entering a new phase in your life, making new memories, and stepping out of your horizons. That's just quite thrilling, isn't it?
Have you experienced homesickness as well? Share some tips on how you dealt with it and maybe, you can just help someone who is experiencing it now. Thanks for reading!

FHFA has issued a revised cap structure for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac multi-family loans purchases; new purchase caps with be $100 for each GSE.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency has revised Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's cap structure for multifamily businesses. The new multifamily loan purchase caps will be $100 billion for each Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE), a combined total of $200 billion in support to the multifamily market, for the five-quarter period beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019 through the fourth quarter of 2020. The new caps apply to all multifamily business and includes no exclusions. According to FHFA Director Mark Calabria, the new multifamily caps "eliminate loopholes, provide ample support for the market without crowding out private capital, and significantly increase affordable housing support over previous levels. The Enterprises should also manage under the caps to provide consistent, stable liquidity to the market throughout the entire five-quarter period."
The FHFA also directed that at least 37.5 percent of the Enterprises' multifamily business be mission-driven, affordable housing. This new minimum of 37.5 percent is meant to assure that the Enterprises' multifamily businesses "have a strong and growing commitment to affordable housing finance," according to the agency's release. Loans that finance energy and water efficiency improvements will be considered conventional business, unless they meet other mission-driven afford ability requirements.
The FHFA Fact Sheet describes the growth of the multifamily market, and how the Enterprise share of multifamily loan originations has expanded, putting the GSEs "in a pro-cyclical role in the multifamily market." Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's share of new multifamily originations increased from approximately 36 percent in 2015 to 49 percent in 2017 and, based on preliminary estimates, 42 percent in 2018. According to the Fact Sheet, the recent growth in Enterprise multifamily market share is largely attributable to the exclusion of green loans from the caps starting in 2016. By 2017, and continuing in 2018, approximately 50% of Enterprise production was excluded from the cap altogether.
Appendix A explained the Revisions to the 2019 FHFA Conservatorship Scorecard and how the FHFA will now treat mission-driven loans, including the following:
- loans on targeted affordable housing properties;
- loans on other affordable units;
- loans on properties located in rural areas;
- loans on small multifamily properties;
- manufactured housing rental community blanket loans;
- loans on seniors housing assisted living properties.

"India suffer shock defeat at the hands of Malaysia"
"Coach Harendra Singh resigns in the wake of Hockey debacle"
"Coach Brasa hits out at the umpires and the FIH for bad decisions"
The hockey fan needs to glean the truth behind the headlines for himself by actually watching the hockey matches. Did the Indian team really goof up things thereby losing out to minnows Malaysia in the semifinal? Malaysia has a fairly long tradition of playing hockey, having played their first tournament in the 1958 Asiad at Tokyo. In the 1975 World Cup it was the same Malaysia, who led India 2-1 till the dying minutes of the semifinal when Aslam Sher Khan, coming in from the benches converted a penalty corner and equalised and a nation of seventy crores heaved a sigh of relief. Before that, in the words of the Indian skipper Ashok Kumar, "the Indian team was falling apart". Harcharan Singh scored in the extra time to put India in the finals. Subsequently we went on to win the final 2-1 against Pakistan, which was the only World Cup win we ever scripted.
Coming down to the present, to regard Malaysia as a pushover is to expose one's own ignorance about the present hockey scenario. It is coached by Dutchman Stephen Van Huizen who is a master tactician employing every tool in modern hockey including video analysis, unique variations in penalty corner batteries and specific tactics to neutralize opponent attackers and drag flickers.
It is indeed unfortunate that on a given day the Indian strategy failed to click and the defensive strategy employed by the Malaysians worked. However, it took an umpiring gaffe for Malaysia to get the penalty corner, which they converted thereby getting the golden goal. Coach Brasa's gripe at the umpiring and the FIH's decision not to employ video referral system that worked so well during the hockey world cup 2010 at Delhi is quite understandable. To depict it as a case of sour grapes is not fair. Coach Harendra Singh, obviously distressed at India's loss in the semifinals broke down and put in his papers. But was it a debacle as projected?
Having watched the bronze medal play-off between India and South Korea, one could not have missed observing that the Indian strategy for the match was way ahead that of South Korea's which is ranked above India in the FIH rankings. In fact, India played a perfectly modern game in the second half concentrating on ball possession and denying the Koreans the opportunity to even get to the ball. Sardara Singh's defending and immaculate short passes even in deep defence were a treat to watch as India literally dictated terms giving no quarter to the Koreans.
It was not a debacle by any stretch of imagination. Agreed, we haven't won the gold medal, which would have given us a direct berth in the Olympics. But Coach Brasa has succeeded in doing what he was supposed to do. He has taken the Indian national side several strides forward through a higher doctrine of modern hockey, which none of his predecessors could do. He has given a level of consistency to India's performance, as shown by the four consecutive wins against Pakistan. It's no flash in the pan. Hats off to Rajpal and his boys for imbibing what coach Brasa had to offer. My argument has been borne out than none other than Sardara Singh, easily the pillar of strength of the present Indian squad immediately following the recently concluded Guangzhou Asiad.
Unfortunately, what the mind does not know, the eyes cannot see. Ignoring the fact that hockey is no longer India's monopoly, that is it a different ball game altogether today, that our boys are struggling against a better trained better equipped plethora of teams is being overly simplistic.
It is only a matter of time the army of parasites thriving on our Government run institutions like the Hockey India and the Sports Authority of India including some of our former Olympians starts baying for Brasa's blood.
Unless the Government-run inefficient system is buried six feet beneath the ground and the army of non-performing parasites feeding on the taxpayer's money banished into the wilderness there is no hope for Indian Hockey in the long run. It's these faceless bureaucrats and the government nominated former Olympians whose heads should roll and not that of Jose Brasa.
We can however, keep on hiring and firing coaches of the caliber of Brasa as a quick means of committing suicide.

Brandon has been closely involved in the expansion of screening meetings over the internet.
Customers can watch the meetings on their computer and have a bet at the same time. This has helped to swell the track's Tote pools as well as attracting interest from all over the country - and beyond.
Meetings appear on www.24dogs.com and pictures are beamed onto the internet, sparking interest from abroad, which is an area the Coventry staff are keeping a close watch on.
They have a link with Betshop, a company which could soon screen their meetings across Europe. And the scope is even wider.
General manager Malcom Francis says he wouldn't rule out racing at unusual times to tap in to markets with more pronounced time zone differentials.
He said: "Mr Sandhu has connections in many countries - Indonesia and Malaysia are just two possibilities - and we're looking at places such as Russia and Latvia. There is potentially a large market for our racing.
"If staging a meeting at 10.30am to transmit to say, Russia, could help us move forward, then we'd have no qualms in pursuing our goals"

f Prevalence and Risk Factors for Hepatitis C Virus Infection among Young Thai Men
Epidemiologic studies of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are unusual in developing countries, especially Thailand. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors for HCV among military conscripts, including a sample of 5,246 men (1:30 sample), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 positive men (N = 500) between 2005 and 2008. The HCV prevalence was 2.2% in the sampled group and 8.4% in HIV-1 sero-positives. Among the sampled group, HIV-1 infection, injection drug use (IDU) history, and unsafe injections were associated with HCV infection; adjusted prevalence rate ratios [RRs; 95% confidence intervals (CIs)] were 3.7 (1.04–12.77), 1.9 (1.04–3.54), and 1.8 (1.02–3.11), respectively. Among HIV-1 sero-positives, an IDU history and residence in southern Thailand were associated with HCV prevalence; adjusted RRs (95% CIs) were 3.5 (1.71–7.24) and 2.6 (1.18–5.61), respectively. Public health measures to prevent HCV in Thailand should focus on reducing injection drug use and other exposures to unsafe injections among young Thai men.

24th Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival
Weapon of Choice
director: Fritz Ofner
original title: Weapon of Choice
country: Austria
year: 2017
running time: 89 min.
The Glock handgun is popular among black rappers, Austrian soldiers, and Middle Eastern tyrants. But the person who loves it most is its inventor, Gaston Glock. In this short reportage on the controversial arms industry, Austrian director Fritz Ofner's clear objective is to demystify the story of a weapon, supposedly invented in a garage, that never fails.
Fritz Ofner (1977) studied journalism and cultural anthropology in Vienna, where he currently works. In 2011, the Ji.hlava IDFF showed his film Evolution of Violence (2011).

The film searches for the root cause of extremist thinking of some contemporary Germans. The dark tones of an early indoctrination of children's souls is illustrated by watercolor animation of idealized memories. Nostalgic sequences frame the testimonials of today's representatives of the German middle class. The psychoanalytic study of (neo)Nazi ideology as a lifestyle reveals the four fundamentals of revived Germanic mythology and mentality ─ xenophobia, eugenics, exalted rhetoric and Christian kitsch. The closed enclave of right-wing extremism of the Pegida movement is slowly revealed by open talks in which the renegade patriotic orthodoxy unmask the movement's demagogy.

This social documentary imitates the process of the investigative journalists who uncovered a whole mesh of intrigue, blackmail, bribery, and cover ups of sexual violence committed by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The film goes from showing the testimonies of the individual victims of the assaults to recognizing and analysing the patterns of compulsive behaviour based on years of long-lived illusions of "untouchability." Accusing an individual in reference to the #MeToo movement becomes an unflattering result of society as a whole. Weinstein's predatory behaviour would not have been possible without looking away from impending evil, self-bought cooperation, and coercion of forced silence. "The pain experienced by Weinstein's accusers is palpable in the film, but there's also a sense that private anguish can be transformed into collective strength." U. Macfarlane

Since 2013, when the Syrian regime and its allies first led the chemical war against Syrian civilians, many millions have fled in a desperate bid for survival. Those who remained are trapped. All borders are closed. There is no way out. In an underground hospital in the besieged town of Ghouta, a team of dedicated doctors works tirelessly to treat bombing victims and are constantly forced to battle systemic sexism. The film primarily follows the daily activities of pediatrician and hospital manager Dr. Amani Ballor, who attempts to improve her small patients' lot in life. In an observational manner, it creates a snapshot portrait of an unlikely heroine. "I wanted people to see that an ordinary woman can do amazing things. Maybe that can change the world. She can remind us that we're all human and that we have a shared humanity that is more powerful than violence." F. Fayyad

It follows Manning from her first steps after her release to meetings with the friends who supported her during her time in prison and her entry into the world of politics, which changes significantly with the presidency of Donald Trump.

We observe the former presidential adviser in particular during working meetings with journalists and American and European politicians and businessmen, which he used to spread right-wing views and to consolidate Republican positions of power. Although the controversial strategist apparently attempts to use the presence of the camera to promote himself, the occasional falling out of character reveals that his success is due primarily to prejudices, hypocrisy, and lies that help spread malice and hatred. "I felt he was being given so much power by the image constructed by media. I thought that if we could follow him for an extended period of time we could demystify him, and that would be valuable."

A right-wing Polish newspaper has run its front page with an article giving readers advice on "how to recognise a Jew".
Weekly newspaper Tylko Polska, or Only Poland in English, listed "name, anthropological features, way of speaking, self presentation, character, methods of action and misinformation actions" as ways in which readers could supposedly spot if someone were Jewish.
The front page also included the line: "How to defeat them? This cannot go on!"
The i politics newsletter cut through the noise
'How to defeat them?'
One of the newspaper's headlines – "Attack on Poland at a conference in Paris" – is a reference to a Holocaust conference held in Paris last month.
The page also features a picture of Jan Goss, a Polish-Jewish scholar who has been targeted by nationalists for suggesting some Poles were complicit in the murdering of Jews in WWII.
Last year, the Polish government passed a law which made it punishable by jail to suggest that Poles were complicit in the Holocaust – for example, by referring to the Nazi concentration camps as "Polish death camps".
'Absolute scandal'
Polish politician Michal Kaminski, who is a member of the conservative opposition party Poland Comes First, spoke out against the front page while addressing press in Poland's lower house of parliament – the Sejm.
According to Polish news site Polsat, Kaminski said it was an "absolute scandal" the newspaper was being sold and was even available to purchase from kiosks within the Sejm.
"I consider it an absolute scandal that articles as filthy as as those from Nazi newspapers are sold in the Polish Sejm" he said.
'Particularly upsetting and awful'
Jonathan Ornstein, director of Krakow's Jewish Community Center, told The Washington Post: "'How to spot a Jew' is particularly upsetting and awful".
"I don't think it necessarily represents mainstream Polish thinking at all. It's an extreme publication, an extreme far right publication."
The Sejm has said that "the Chancellery of the Sejm will request the publication's removal from the press kit".

I have tabled a Parliamentary Question to ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration have Ministers given to mitigating the security issues surrounding the location in St Pancras of the UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation and its laboratories that will be working with highly dangerous viruses?
This follows reports that:
"One of Britain's leading bio-scientists .. [has] .. voiced fears over the safety of a £600 million virus "superlab" planned for St Pancras.
Professor Guy Dodson, who has worked at Oxford University, warned that the 14-storey, maximum security site containing viruses including malaria, tuberculosis, bird and swine flu, cancer cells and HIV would need to be "bulletproof"."
UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation is to be built in London on the redeveloped St Pancras site. In principle, this is excellent news. However, the laboratory could be a magnet for terrorists.
As Guy Dodson comments:
"The issues are if you have an earthquake, some idiot lets a bomb off or there's a fire at St Pancras International.
"These are extreme examples but you don't want that building to suffer a serious knockabout when you've got this material in there.
"The unspoken concern is terrorism because it's a natural target. We need to know the capacity they have for dealing with the unexpected."
The plans have been approved by Mayor Boris Johnson – so that's all right then ……

We are very excited to announce the first keynote speaker at Asia-Pacific International Schools Conference (AISC) — Shelley Moore, the Inclusion Consultant from Vancouver, British Columbia.
Shelley Moore is a highly sought after teacher, researcher, speaker and storyteller and has worked with school districts and community organizations throughout both Canada and the United States. Her research and work has been featured at national and international conferences and are constructed based on theory and effective practices of inclusion, special education, curriculum and teacher professional development. Her first book entitled, "One Without the Other" was released to follow up her TEDx talk hosted in January 2016. Shelley completed an undergraduate degree in Special Education at the University of Alberta, her masters at Simon Fraser University, and is currently a SSHRC funded PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia.
Keynote Presentation:
Inclusive Education: Who, What, Where, When, Why?!
In the keynote speech, she will deconstruct what inclusive education means in today's classrooms and communities and will also discuss common misunderstandings and myths and leave with ideas and possibilities of inclusive leaning communities and all who benefit.
"Inclusive education is becoming more and more important as classrooms become more and more diverse. It is less about trying to included "a couple" students with disabilities, and towards supporting teachers to teach TO the diversity. Inclusion is still often associated with disability, tends are moving towards diversity education, which include disability, but also include all the the many ways that we are diverse including race, gender, religion, language etc.
I am personally interested in inclusive education because of my own experience in school. I struggled and it took me way to long to realize what my strengths were. We need to build up students by supporting them and allowing them to uncover their strengths and contributions, rather than trying to make everyone fit into the same box."

Musings of a Beaverton Teen: Heat dangers to dogs and children
By Lani Garcia (11th Grader)
July is one of the hottest months in Beaverton, where temperatures can reach up and over 90 degrees. It's easy to imagine fun days at the pool drinking cold lemonade, but we can't forget about the dangers that this heat brings. Especially for dogs and children.
Every summer there are reports of children or pets being left in hot cars. It may seem like it's cool enough to leave them in the car, but some people don't realize how quickly the interior of a car can heat up. A study conducted by Stanford found that regardless of the outside temperature (as long as there is sun), the interior of a car can heat up by an average 40 degrees F within one hour. This proves that even for a short amount of time leaving a loved one in the car can be deadly.
Be careful of hot cars
Measures are taken by people to try to combat hot cars, like cracking windows or running the air conditioner before they leave, but these actions have an insignificant impact on the temperature. The only way to avoid the deaths of pets and children because of heat is to not leave them in a car, period. If you're worried about forgetting them in a car, then set an alarm on your phone or place something in the front seat that reminds you of them.
Be careful of hot pavement
Another danger that the heat brings for dogs is the temperature of pavement outside. Asphalt can exceed 145 degrees F. While humans have shoes and might not notice it, dogs have paws that are very sensitive to this heat. To check if it's too hot to walk your dog on the sidewalk, you can touch the back of your hand to the ground and hold it for ten seconds. If it's too hot for you to do that, then it's too hot for you dog.
It's easy to keep your pets and children safe if you're mindful of the dangers and take simple actions to prevent them, like never leaving them in a car on a sunny day.
Be safe, and protect your pets and children!

Ademola Olonilua and Timileyin Akinkahunsi
Mofoluwato Anidugbe, brother to hip-hop sensation, Kizz Daniel, has said even though many people expect him to ride on his sibling's fame to be in the limelight himself, he won't do so as he is proud of his own achievements as a person.
The lanky dude, who cuts a striking resemblance to his musician brother, said that as a businessman and strategist, he is excited about the result of his hard work and would not look to hide under anyone's shadow to become a household name.
Anidugbe, Chief Executive Officer of OMG Fashion, recently launched an online store for his brand following the growth of his entrepreneurial strife and increased demand for his services.
He said, "A lot of people expect me to hide behind my brother's fame and become as popular, but that is a wrong expectation as far as I am concerned.
"What people fail to understand is that I am my own man and has built my business and brand to an international level without needing any sort of influence. As a matter of fact, it is for this reason that we have even launched our new online fashion store."

The Age » Screen Play
Posted by Jason Hill
January 17, 2008 7:24 AM
The Australian Film Commission (AFC) and ABC TV want to help fund the development of a new game communally designed by Australian gamers.
The first project of its kind in Australia, the Good Game initiative will let viewers have input on the game design document, while the game prototype will be created by a professional development team and playable online via the ABC website.
The AFC hope the project will then be picked up by a publisher and eventually receive a commercial release, creating another Australian success story to join other home-grown heroes such as Puzzle Quest, Heroes of the Pacific and Destroy All Humans.
Applications from developers interested in the scheme close on February 15. The successful company or team will be responsible for reviewing, selecting and implementing viewer ideas or suggestions in the construction of the game.

New Explorations into Science, Technology and Math High School (NEST+m)
Share this school
Manhattan NY 10002
Our Insights
What's Special
Fast-paced instruction for advanced students
The Downside
Friction between principal and staff
2020 UPDATE: In July 2020, Meaghan Lynch was appointed the school's interim-acting principal.
2018 REVIEW: One of five citywide gifted programs, and the only one to serve children in grades K-12, New Explorations into Science, Technology & Math (NEST+m) has a demanding curriculum, hyper-involved parents, and children who love to come to school.
New students are admitted in kindergarten, 6th grade, and 9th grade, with a handful admitted in other grades. Although some students stay for the entire 13 years, many leave to attend the large specialized high schools and other competitive schools so there are a significant number of seats for new 9th graders. While most of the children in the early grades are white and Asian, more black and Latino children enter in high school.
The elementary grades mix progressive and traditional techniques. Kindergarten classrooms emphasize academic skills, rather than dramatic play: they don't have dress-up corners or play kitchens that more progressive schools have, for example. A super-active PTA pays for assistant teachers in the lower grades.
NEST+m uses Singapore math in grades K-5, a fast-paced, thoughtful curriculum that combines quick recall of arithmetic facts with a deep understanding of math concepts. About 50 children in grades 2-8 take part in a math team that meets at 7 a.m. several times a week; these children take part in competitions with other schools.
In social studies lessons are woven around interdisciplinary themes such as Central Park (how to read maps or build bridges, or what kind of wildlife lives there). The school takes part in the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project, in which children write multiple drafts of essays before "publishing" a final copy.
Mark Berkowitz, who became principal in July 2015, has implemented significant changes, particularly in the middle and high school grades. He replaced desks in rows with small tables to encourage class discussions and group work, rather than lectures by teachers. He broadened reading lists to include more black and Latino authors. He worked with staff to foster "culturally responsive" education, that is, teaching techniques that better reflect the experiences of non-white children.
In the fall of 2018, William Kamkwamba, an African author and inventor, visited the school to talk about his book, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, the story of his experiences creating a windmill to bring electricity to his village in Malawi. Berkowitz said this book and visit are examples of the kind of education he wants to foster; work that draws on different disciplines, such as literature and science, and that exposes children to different cultures.
Perhaps the biggest shift in the school's philosophy is its approach to students with disabilities. In the middle and high schools grades, Berkowitz added team-teaching classes, with two teachers, one of whom is certified in special education, that mix students with disabilities and general education students.
While students from both groups must be high-achieving to be admitted, the standards are slightly more flexible for those with disabilities. (The shift has not affected the elementary school, which has more limited special education services. Admission to the elementary school continues to be based on the city's gifted exam.)
There's been a mixed reaction to the changes. One mother said it's "a warmer, happier place." She said the principal knows every child by name and seems to enjoy talking to students. Another said "kids take their work seriously" but the teachers "manage to make it all fun." Other parents praise the teachers and the college office.
But some parents and teachers criticize Berkowitz's management style and say he is unresponsive to their concerns. A significant number of teachers mistrust the principal, according to school surveys. Some maintain that the changes have come at the expense of academic rigor and that the new focus on English and history has come at the expense of math and science.
Berkowitz replies that standards are as high as ever, pointing to the robust Advanced Placement offerings and admissions to highly selective colleges and universities including MIT, Wesleyan, Swarthmore, Yale, Columbia, Brown and Cooper Union. He was formerly assistant principal at NYC Lab School for Collaborative Studies, a school that prides itself on serving high-achieving students with disabilities.
SPECIAL EDUCATION: In the elementary school grades, children with disabilities such as dyslexia and ADHD receive SETSS (special education teacher support services). Occupational, physical, and speech therapists assist children, and a psychologist is on hand two days a week. The middle and high school grades have ICT, or team-teaching, classes for students with a range of disabilities.
ADMISSIONS: Kindergartners must score in the 99th percentile on the city's gifted and talented exam to even be considered. (Siblings of current students may apply if they score in the 97th percentile.)
For kindergarten admissions, parents must submit a request for testing in October; children are tested in January.
Middle and high school students are admitted based on their grades, attendance and state test scores. General education students generally must have a grade point average of 90 or above and score at least level 3 on standardized tests; students with disabilities who require team-teaching classes may have a GPA of 85 and test scores of 2.75.
There are about 30 new seats in 6th grade, when the school adds a class; there are 10-15 new seats in 7th grade, when some students leave for Hunter College High School. There are more than 100 new seats in 9th grade.
Current elementary students are guaranteed admission into middle school; current middle school students are guaranteed admission into high school. Free yellow school bus service is provided for children in grades K-6 living in Manhattan, within a 5.5-mile drive of the school. Parents in other boroughs and other parts of Manhattan may pay for private bus service. (Clara Hemphill, September 2018)

85mm 1:8 Nikkor Lens Qui
Just bought one of these second hand last night for $345. They sell new at http://www.jd-online.com for $600 or Maxwells quote $949.
Great lens! Sharp and very quick to focus. This lens is an AF not AFS. The kit lens is AFS, meaning a motor in the lens which is usually a faster method than AF which is a little screwdriver sticking out of your camera and turning a screw (you can see the screwdriver at 7 o'clock on your lens mount). Still even with older technology this is a very quick to focus lens, probably because it is a prime not a zoom.
Nice big aperture of 1:8 meant a few shots taken today on aperture priority were at 1/5000sec. Interestingly the front glass is huge, this is the only lens I have where I can look into the lens and read things on the other side of the viewfinder! This lens is perfect for portraits, at 1.5m it neatly fits my 19"monitor with 1cm frame into its viewfinder edge to edge. The bokeh (out of focus elements) seems reasonable and was happy with the shots I took today. I bought this lens for portraits, especially low light ones, and I think it will be great for that.
Would I buy it again? In a flash!
Would I buy it on a budget? Yes

Congratulation on the lens you've just got, it's excellent lens, I got one before and passed it to my friend and settled on the 85 f.1.4, you perhaps will take some portraits and see yourself some difference in between this Saturday at the meet with my 85 f1.4
Have fun

I've just posted an image of Birddog, taken with his 85mm 1.4, in the lens lust thread. What a beatiful lens; the detail that is showing on the NEF is simply amazing.
I know your's isn't quite the same, but it should be, from a practical point of view, just as good. Have fun.

"Processions to be policed in accordance with the law"
Montenegrin police will guard onlythose gatherings that have been registeredin accordance with the law, the Police Directorate said.
They explained that the earlier announced decision of the Police Directorate was a result of reviewing the circumstances and evaluations of the heads of security centers, "because the Metropolitan of the Montenegrin Coast and the Dioceses of the Serbian Orthodox Church did not register public gatherings in accordance with the law."
"Moreover, as it was stated that the church structures cannot control the gatherings of citizens, butalso based on the concrete information we received from the field, the conclusion of the police officials was logical and their stance was in the spirit of the prescribed proceduresobligations," police explained.
Police says that the security of the state and the security of the citizens are a common interest, as is the exercise of the democratic rights of each individual.
"Appreciating the circumstances, the Police Directorate will continue to guardprocessions in accordance with the law and precisely defined procedures, insisting on full compliance with clear obligations and procedures and increased responsibility of the organizers," police said.

T&T Van Remoortel: New B-2-B cash & carry concept for the Belgian home, gift, garden, and fashion branch
Van Remoortel NV and PW Markets enter into strategic partnership
New B-2-B cash & carry concept for the home, gift, garden, and fashion sector
Van Remoortel NV and PW Markets – B2B cash & carry retailers active in the home, gift, and garden sector in the Netherlands and Belgium – are joining forces to develop a new cash & carry concept that caters to markets in Belgium and northern France. Van Remoortel owns a wholesale company and a cash & carry marketplace in the Belgian city of Belsele. PW Markets owns the cash & carry concepts Trends & Trade, FashionExtras, and TICA, all of which are located in the Netherlands. Today, director Winny de Cock senior of Van Remoortel NV and director Robert Segers of PW Markets will jointly announce their plans to combine their activities on the Belgian and northern French markets as part of a strategic partnership.
Both companies have been serving the same customer groups for years with their cash & carry concept, but they operate in different countries and regions. They expect the strategic partnership to be advantageous for supply and demand and therefore benefit both purchasing retailers and selling exhibitors.
The parties will jointly implement a new cash & carry concept on 1 October 2016. As part of this concept, some fifty national and international manufacturers and importers of home, gift, and garden products will sell their goods in their own cash & carry shop-in-shop in Belsele, which has a total floor area of 9,500 m². The product range will also be expanded as of this date with 1,000 m² of shop-in-shop fashion exhibitors. Some 25 entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to present their fashion accessories, clothing, jewellery, and personal care products in an enclosed space.
Dutch companies Trends & Trade Venlo and TICA and Belgian company Van Remoortel are wholesale concepts based on the cash & carry principle. Interior and exterior products are offered to professional retailers on 10,000 to 20,000 square metres of shop floor space. The product range is supplied by various manufacturers and importers. The wholesalers attract professional retailers in their immediate areas, including interior design stores, gift shops, florists, and similar stores.
