About the training provider
We have a long history of training teachers within the Trust and have developed a rigorous and robust training programme. This consists of a combination of practical and theoretical elements delivered by a dedicated team at the Trust Training Centre.
We recognise that trainees come with varying levels of previous school experience and our training is therefore tailored to the individual. Those who have plenty of relevant classroom experience have the opportunity to begin teaching whole classes early on in the programme. Those with less relevant experience will receive more guidance at the beginning, to build a firm foundation on which to base their classroom practice.
Our belief in the importance of trainees having sufficient time to work with more experienced staff means our aim is to make School Direct appointments supernumerary. This provides time for trainees to work closely with mentors and others to develop high level skills before being given full responsibility for classes.
Swale Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. School Direct positions are subject to an enhanced DBS check.
Training with disabilities and other needs
Over recent years, schools and academies have (in line with other institutions and public bodies) been working towards an improved understanding of the diverse nature of their communities. Much of the work is in response to new legislation that places an increased duty on schools, academies and other settings to tackle radicalisation and to establish a positive ethos of British Values. Legislation requires schools and academies both to eliminate direct or indirect discrimination, victimisation or harassment and to promote equalities for students, staff and others who use their facilities.
In our Trust we work to ensure that there is equality of opportunity for all members of our community who hold a range of protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010, as well as having regard to other factors which have the potential to cause inequality, such as, socio-economic factors.

In the middle of the book of Jeremiah, there's this verse that I suspect most Christians consider their "life verse." It's everywhere. It's on t-shirts, coffee cups, posters (maybe with a beautiful landscape or cute fuzzy animals), greeting cards… you name it, there's probably a product with this verse on it:
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope — Jeremiah 29:11
It's a great verse, no doubt. It's incredibly inspiring. Many read it and, in application to themselves say, "Wow, God has a plan for me. A plan for my welfare and for my future!" And while that's true (see Romans 8:28-29), there's something else going on. When God said this to the Israelites, in a letter from Jeremiah, they had just been taken into exile in Babylon. And during that time, many "prophets" were giving the people false hope, telling them that they would be back in Jerusalem on top of the world in a couple years, tops. But this is not God's plan for them; just the opposite, in fact. [Read more…] about The Persevering Prophet: I Know the Plans I Have for You

Well it was supposed to be a sure thing…
Wednesday's episode of Law & Order SVU guest-starring Mike Tyson, which was, of course, a controversial casting choice from the moment it was announced, was supposed to be a sure ratings grabber. But it turned out instead to be just the opposite.
The episode entitled Monster's Legacy, in which Tyson played a convicted killer on death row who claims that the sexual abuse he suffered as a child led to his crimes, came in third in its time slot after Modern Family on ABC and Criminal Minds on CBS. The episode attracted 5.2 million veiwers which is the lowest audience ever for an original, regularly scheduled episode in the series' history.
And to add insult to injury, the show's ratings were 12% lower than the previous week's show and Modern Family actually posted its lowset ratings numbers in years and yet still beat out SUV.
No doubt the controversy and the criticisms about the casting of Tyson may have taken a toll on the show's ratings.

What do I do concerning gift-giving? Well, to be honest, not much anymore. Maybe I picked that up from my Dutch hub who has never been a gift giver? Or maybe I find the whole concept of trying to find something suitable for giving is a mind-boggling experience? Maybe I am just too thrifty (read cheap!)? Or maybe I have seen and heard how too many gifts have been "regifted," returned to shops, or just stashed in the back of closets and drawers.
This week my two brothers, one sister-in-law, and my hub started sorting out my mom's home. Of course, we found some wonderful old and dear mementos of our youth and some of Momma and Daddy's treasures, but we also ran across quite a few items that were in the original boxes or wrappings and had never been used. Gifts from the three of us or our children to my parents that were completely useless and perhaps not even wanted.
As I collected some of those (still in the original packing) gifts I had schlepped across the Atlantic Ocean in overfull suitcases, I thought it might be a good time to give my holiday shopping advice.
1. Know your gift receiver's clothes/shoe size before purchasing any clothing. If it won't fit, it won't ever be worn! Plain and simple.
2. Know what colors your receiver likes/hates.
3. Find out what your receiver has really been needing (according to them, not you!).
4. Tell your other family members what you are planning to gift to the receiver. If it is an expensive item, they might chip in. If not, at least you can discuss if the item is really something that will be used and not left in the closet for someone to find in the future. (Side note: I once told my dad what I would be gifting everyone in our family, and he duplicated the entire list. I am still trying to figure out that one!!!)
5. Back to the "know your receiver," if you know they never do something (like serve hot tea), don't give them a gift (like a tea set) that will collect dust.
6. And just come right out and ask what gift the receiver would like and really use or enjoy having. Maybe it is time for adults, as well as kiddies, to write letters to Santa (or whatever) with gift requests.
I know some readers are raging at my suggestions, since gifts should be special and a surprise.
But one of the best gifts my dear mom ever gave me was a warm pair of gloves. They were just my size, just my color, just what I needed, and she decorated the wrapping to give me a hint of what would be inside. And I am sure they didn't stretch her budget.
They were the perfect gift!

Help is there and so is Vengeance

Essay by: Zexsoul
The moon was glowing brightly with tiny, little stars surrounding it. The night was drizzling at wee hour. The graveyard was eerie and quiet. I had been here for hours now, standing in front of the gate - staring at the rusty gate… I was waiting in the small hut nearby the graveyard but for no one. A young man came out of his car and saw me sitting in the hut. He smiled at me and came nearer. "Hello, are you waiting for someone?" he asked politely, while caressing the gate's crest. I looked up at him solemnly. I shook my head. Then, the young man walked away, in confusion, and went back into the car with questions on his head. I was pondering why the young man came here. I reminded myself that no one ever came to this graveyard because it was long abandoned; maybe he was just passing by…
I moved away from the gate and began to walk back to my manor. On the way there, a very similar car was crashed by a tree. Then, a young man was struggling to get out. It was the same man from just now. I helped him out of the crashed car. He thanked me and I invited him to my manor for a night. My manor was empty all the time and now, it was quite old and ancient - well, I didn't tell the young man, of course. The man looked around the front yard and asked, "You live here alone?" The atmosphere began to feel colloq and the man quivered tremendously. I just kept quiet and opened the door. I had not been in the front hall for so long; usually I just climb inside from the side stairs. I switched on the light and tried to recall something that seemed missing. The young man came in and locked the door. My expression was blank for a moment because I haven't been in the front hall for too long, everything seemed different. I was walking into the living room and the young man followed behind with curiosity showing on his face.
"How long did you not clean your house?" the young man asked with much astonishment.
"I don't know. I don't remember…," I shuddered after failing to recall the time I last cleaned the house and dropped on the couch. There was a huge family portrait above the grand chimney and one of the five happy members was me. The young man analyzed the portrait with great sadness and I wondered why he should feel that way. He sat next to me, while grabbing something that was dangling from his chest, and I was disappearing into the thin air. He was shocked and moved away from me. Suddenly, a bone-shrilling scream was heard from the upper floor and the young man jerked up from his position. He was going to run but I grabbed his hand: shook my head.
"Not now. You will be killed by them," I finally spoke up and he was pale.
"Very well then," he replied with his whole body shivering from the coldness that I spread to his hand.
"What is your name?" I asked after he calmed down and the scream was fading away.
"Louvre De Caprio," he answered when he slowly sit down on the couch. Then, a bright fire was lighted in the chimney, and once again, he got shocked but I was soothing his hand gently. The next moment the fire lit up, my entire outfit changed into something else: a white gleaming dress with a bow on my head and a string of pearls was streaming on my neck. The young man wanted to scream but he didn't.
"It is alright," I said while smiling at him. The whole room was transformed into a nice and clean room. A man with rich clothing was walking in. He was taking a bunch of documents in his hand and he just walked away to the door without any words from him.
"Who is that person?" Louvre asked while observing the surrounding scene. I sighed sadly with tears welling up in my pair of eyes and replied, "My father. Our family is the richest in the town and all my parents cared about is forever being rich." Then, a butler appeared in the hall that we were in; with him was a tray of food and beside the chimney fire was my elder brother and twin brother- reading books and telling the younger me stories. I had never been in this scene for a long time and tears were falling down like a river, falling onto the ground silently. Louvre was trying to comfort me but never know how since I was blurry in the form of ghost. "The house was always so lonely and only my brothers are my comfort until one day. The day when my elder brother went missing, kidnapped by thieves, my parents went mad like a kid who lost his sweet. They never once again spoke of him, pretend that he do not exist at all. Day by day went by, they became stranger and weirder," I explained to Louvre, as I explained word by word the scene slowly changed into different scenery; this time, the mansion was giving a grim feeling and it was untidy.
"What happened to both of you? Your twin brother and you?" Louvre asked with much sympathy in his voice; usually, I would just snapped at the guest for their sympathy but this time, I felt that he was sincere in feeling sorry for me and my twin brother.
"Things just get worse when father's company went bankrupt several months after that. He began to hallucinate of everything he sees until the doctor had to come every day to give him drugs. Mother locked herself in her room, singing lullaby alone," I replied him in my whispering voice and he tried to ruffle my hair to cheer me up but failed, as he can't touch me.
The mansion living hall turned bright and there was a banner with writing on it: Happy Birthday to Eren and Elena. The candle was burning bright but giving the hall an eerie feeling and the candle light kept on flicking from left to right. The younger me was sitting at one end of the table with a huge cake in front of me, dressing like a little doll, and, then, a woman in a beautiful dress brought in a huge present and lay it in front me. She said with a cheerful tone, "Here is your present, sweetheart. Eren will open his later because he is eating cake with Father right now." She walked to the side of my chair, smiling weirdly, and I stood up to open the present. The next moment that I blinked my eyes, I was in a crate filled with poison snakes biting every single part of my body and my mother was smiling eerily to me, opened her mouth and said, "Happy birthday, Elena! Your father and I decided that if your eldest brother is no longer with us, neither should you and Eren." She skipped happily away from the crate, ignoring my screams of help…
"Oh My God! What about your twin brother, Eren?" Louvre asked shockingly after the living hall went dark again and cold. I looked at him in the eyes and shook my head.
"Why? What's wrong?" Louvre asked again his questions and I pointed towards the door of the living room. He turned around and, there he was my twin brother, Eren was walking towards us with much elegance as a gentleman.
"Elena, you wandered out again. I don't really cared for the living but still, you should not just bring someone you don't want to harm into our mansion like that," Eren nagged at me just like an elder brother should and he stared at Louvre properly to get a better look.
"Well, since he is a guest of yours, let's lighten the place," Eren spoke after a long pause and clicked his finger; the entire mansion lighted up brightly.
"I, on the other hand, was forced to eat poison cake by my father. That is because I always want to become a doctor. He did that to make me feel like a trash and by that, he achieved happiness from my suffering. I realized about the poison and kept on refusing to taste the cake without Elena but after several of turns of refusing to eat the cake, he just tied me up with chains and pushed the cake down my throat," Eren answered Louvre's question without any feeling while reading a book that appeared out of nowhere; as though it didn't happened to him at all. Louvre was stunned for a while until a bone-shrilling scream was heard again.
The mansion scenery went crazy, from brightly painted house to a grim-looking house, and the wind was blowing like a whirlwind around us. Then, everything went calm again and Eren, who was holding a book in his hand, looking so calm. He stood up and the book vanished into thin air.
"They are causing trouble again. I will never let go of their soul, even if Hell freezes over, and they will forever trap within our power. Elena, send our guest back to the road and never come back," Eren said those sentences evilly and when he left the room, he turned around and muttered one word before smiling sadly.
I pulled Louvre's hand and walked out of the room into the garden. The surrounding area was lightened up and there were ghostly shops, houses and restless souls. Louvre's eye kept on blinking at such scenery and he was completely stoned. A couple of ghosts bowed and smiled at me and, I dragged Louvre to the road where his car crashed. He was filled with much emotion that he doesn't know how to begin our conversation now.
"What did Eren say before he left the room?" Louvre asked without looking into my eyes but he was clutching his necklace tightly. I hesitated to tell him because he might not be the person that Eren and I hoped to be.
"You know, I was kidnapped when I was ten and saved by a military officer but he didn't bring me back to my family. He named me under a different name, so, that reporters would not disturb me regarding about the incident. I had asked for so long about the incident and finally, last week, he told me about my family and the village that I lived in. He said that I was found together with this necklace that has my family picture. He gave the necklace to me and explained to me that there are only three persons in this picture," Louvre held the necklace even tighter when he explained his past to me; at that time, I was so sure that Eren was hearing as well.
"I never open it yet. The officer also said that the whole village was murdered by a pair of couple who lost their eldest child and then committed suicide. The village was never touched by anyone after that incident nor did the authorities do anything about it. I assumed that the village I saw just now was the missing village," Louvre declared his suspicions to me word by word and I listened carefully, so I would not miss a word from his mouth. He continued his sentence after a short silence of exchanging looks between the necklace and me, "That incident happened fifteen years ago. I thought I might get a clue about my family if I just wandered around here. The officer told me that the couple might be my parents. At first, I don't want to believe it because if I believed it, then, I might have to lose all hopes to see anyone from my family. But now, I have to believe that they are gone forever."
"Well, all I can say is that no matter what happen, you are still alive and moving. Therefore, live on and be what we can't be as a human, but never say that you are alone because you will have those precious memories in you," I replied his declaration with confidence in my voice that he is the one Eren and I searched for years. I slowly disappeared into the morning fog and he was still looking at the necklace solemnly.
"The word that Eren muttered just now was brother. Now, at least, we know that you are still alive and that, you are not involved in this tragedy. Live well, brother," I told him about the word that he asked earlier and, when the morning sun was glowing brightly, the last sentence was said by Eren and me happily. Louvre looked up and the necklace was opened; tears were falling from his cheeks and the picture was taken on our last Halloween party; Eren in vampire suit, Louvre in knight outfit and I as fairy princess smiling happily.
As I walked back to the mansion, the sun was shining brightly but it did not affect the other world at all. "Miss Elena, that fine young man just now was Young Master Ezleon, wasn't it?" some of the villager ghosts asked me and I just smiled sweetly at them. Eren was at the doorstep, greeting me home, and he was smiling at me. The bone-shrilling scream was continued when I stepped back into the mansion. It was the punishment for them after killing everyone in the village thinking that they will escape the punishment if they committed suicide. Little did they know, they were brought back by the villagers' vengeance for their sin, and the village was brought back from the Underworld by our immense vengeance and anger. The torture will literally engrave to their soul and it will continue until both of us are satisfied.
"Thus, the nightmare continues," Eren and I said in unison with wicked smile on our face, dressed gothic royalty clothes, sitting on the living hall couch.

Well, Mr Larkin, there's one guy who SHOULD have known something about Jimmy's alleged, lack of popularity and it's David Griffiths. Remember him ?
Well Guys and Gals. I've just gone through more than 200 pages of the 358 Lampard Report and, so far, I haven't seen one mention of Mr Griffiths. In my pre-report burrowing for FACTS I did however come across ONE interesting story involving Jimmy. This time it's 2004 and Jimmy's being 'left out' of a calender called 'St Georges Heavenly Hunks'
Blimey, I hope I can find Tracey in the report ! Or even Griffiths. Where is the man who called Jimmy, 'Stoke Mandeville's Best Friend' ?
To be continued !

Is your double chin preventing you from achieving the attractive facial definition you desire? Men and women who suffer from moderate to severe submental fat may find it difficult to improve their profile through diet and exercise. KYBELLA® is a quick and safe injection designed to eliminate fatty accumulations below the chin for a slimmer facial appearance.
A: KYBELLA® is intended for patients with excess fat accumulation under their chin. Patients who have an infection in the treatment area shouldn't receive KYBELLA®. To lower your risk of a negative reaction, discuss with your doctor if you have had previous cosmetic treatments on your face.
A: The most common side effects of KYBELLA® include swelling, bruising, numbness, and redness. While rare, more serious side effects can occur that include trouble swallowing and nerve injury.
A: KYBELLA® is administered during an in-office session that lasts between 15 and 20 minutes.
A: One benefit of KYBELLA® is that there is no recovery period. Most patients can immediately resume their regular activities, including makeup application, following their treatment.
A: KYBELLA® takes effect over time, destroying fat cells for the body to absorb. Improvement will occur within four to six weeks, and repeat treatments may be necessary to achieve the results you desire.
A: Once you have achieved your desired aesthetic, your final results should be long lasting. The deoxycholic acid in KYBELLA® helps prevent new fat cells from forming.

Icy roads warning for motorists in South Yorkshire
Drivers have been warned of hazardous conditions after heavy snowfall and continuing freezing temperatures.
A Met Office yellow warning for snow remained in force for South Yorkshire on Monday night. A yellow warning of ice has been issued for Tuesday.
The snow, as much as 18cm (7in) in places, caused widespread disruption with almost half the county's schools, about 300, closed.
Robin Hood Airport near Doncaster also briefly closed.
Trams and train services had been unaffected by the snow but some bus routes had been hit, the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive said.
David Young, from the organisation, said: "It has been pretty quiet on the roads and throughout the day more and more bus services have been returning to normal."
Outpatient appointments at hospitals in Sheffield and Barnsley were also affected by the snow, with the cancellation of non-urgent patient transport services.
BBC Weather forecaster Paul Hudson said the snow had "fizzled out" and the worst was over.
"The emphasis now changes to widespread ice on untreated surfaces," he said.
Councils across the county have said gritting teams would continue working through the night to keep major routes clear.
Streets Ahead in Sheffield have asked residents to "park sensibly" to assist them in getting trucks down as many streets as possible.

Game Goals:
To help each individual develop their mathematical skills with action and fun through games.
Game Overview:
You are a NERD who was able to develop telekinetic Destruction power and will destroy robots that will annihilate mankind, well by trying to cross the screen from left to right were in right side is our base. Along your defensive line are the Carriers came from different organizations with special ability to help you stop the extinction of man.
Game Story:
WR Incorporated (Wave Robotics) has been developing robotics structures to provide solutions and make human lives easier. In Year 9019 they developed a super computer named "Arti" with an Artificial intelligence that revolves in 2 main rules, first is to help human and second is to protect human.
In certain ways the Arti evolved and discover that the number one threat of humanity that will lead to human extinction is humanity itself, as the Arti evolved he is able to adapt and find human weakness and found a way to counter human weaponry.
Arti designed a combination of high density alloy called Enecymia, a metal that is very unique that it can disable all offensive and defensive weaponry that man created hence the new breed of cyborg ENEBOT. ENEBOT are able to disable any weaponry that are created by human, It can automatically defuse the point of explosion and absorb it in couple of mini seconds, its so fast human is unable to react, the only thing that they can do is...
Is there any other way humanity can survive? Is there someone who can immediately destroy ENEBOT and shut down Arti…
No matter how hard WMU (World Military Union) humanities weaponry is no match with the capability Enecymia Alloy and the continuous evolving the Arti. Nuclear weapon are disabled as they can stop nuclear launch, all aircraft weaponry are unable to engage as it will be disabled by the ENEBOT . Humanity are inside a huge cage controlled by the Arti…
But there is one more way to eliminate ENEBOT , one last hope of humanities freedom… Telekinetic Destruction… yes you heard me right… Telekinetic Destruction…
Telekinetic Destruction is a way of creating a destruction into a matter that does not involve physical contact. Without chip that can overwritten, without detonator to disable, Telekinetic Destruction will sneak up on the ENEBOT without them knowing.
This is the only way how we can destroy ENEBOT and stop invading the world, and there could only one species that has the ability to do that...
Game Controls:
Player need to tap on the numbers on the right, each number corresponds with numerical value which will add once it is tapped. Once it sums up with the corresponding number assigned in the robots number located on the top of its head... KABABOOOOOMM!!! the robot will be destroyed.
Well of course everyone has limitations so in each stage you will have different formula so make sure you check the equation first but don't worry your not fighting alone, some undisclosed organization will help you and will give you Carriers.
These Carriers will activate their own special abilities that will help you, slow-down, weaken, or even get more cash from the enemies
The team is currently in debugging stage and planning to initiate a soft launch this April 27, 2016.
Below are the following updates to follow:
- Additional Carriers, planned carriers 20-30
- Facebook sharing integration
- Additional Enemies skin
- Additional Stages and level

Regulations Will NOT Do Much for Enviroment
and Will Slow Business for Years
The EPA has admitted that tough new greenhouse gas regulations will "slow construction nationwide for years," while only reducing global temperatures by 0.0015 of a degree Celsius, CNSNews.com reports.
CNS cites a GOP minority report, issued last Wednesday, which says a series of proposed and partially implemented new regulations on industrial boilers, greenhouse gas emitters, and ozone levels will put over 800,000 jobs at risk with little environmental benefit.
"The authors cite the EPA's own staff to show that greenhouse gas regulations, which would require major sources of CO2 (carbon dioxide) to obtain permits and limit their output, could seriously harm the economy if implemented," CNS news reports.
Obtaining those permits, the EPA said in a June 3 report referenced by CNS and obtained through the Federal Register, would cause "delays, at the outset, that would be at least a decade or longer, and that would only grow worse over time as each year, the number of new permit applications would exceed permitting authority resources for that year."
The report adds that during that time "tens of thousands of [permit applicants] each year would be prevented from constructing or modifying," and that companies trying to obtain permits would "be forced to abandon altogether plans to construct or modify." The backlog could "slow construction nationwide for years, with all of the adverse effects that this would have on economic development."
CNS explains the reasoning behind the regulation:
All of these complications stem from EPA's desire to regulate mobile sources of greenhouse gases — primarily automobiles. By issuing a finding last spring that carbon dioxide is a danger to public health, the EPA is able to regulate mobile output of the gas; but the ancillary effect is that stationary CO2 emitters — factories, schools, office buildings — are now subject to those Clean Air Act regulations as well.
However, analysis by the EPA puts in question whether the 80,000 jobs that Republicans estimate these regulations could cost are worth it.
According to CNS the EPA writes in rule-making documents from April 2010 that "Based on the reanalysis the results for projected atmospheric CO2 concentrations are estimated to be reduced by an average of 2.9 ppm [parts per million] (previously 3.0 ppm), global mean temperature is estimated to by reduced by 0.006 to 0.0015 ˚C by 2100."
Or, as James Inhofe (R-OK) said on the Senate floor last week, "they would reduce global temperatures by … an amount so small it can't be measured on a ground-based thermometer."
The EPA has created "tailoring" rules that would protect many businesses from having to file for permits. But, CNS reports, Republicans on the Senate EPW committee fear a federal court could strike the tailoring rule, deciding it does not follow explicit guidelines set out for the process of issuing permits for pollutants in the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Should that rule be struck down, the Republicans point to a study by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which says that the EPA "could be forced to regulate" about 260,000 office buildings, 150,000 warehouses, 92,000 health care facilities, 92,000 health-care facilities, 37,000 churches, and 17,000 farms, among other things.
That could have a crippling affect on businesses and the economy.

The following stories from the April 23, 2010, edition of AOPA ePilot were provided to AOPA members who expressed an interest in the particular subject areas. Any AOPA member can receive information tailored to their areas of interest by updating their preferences online.
TRAINING TIPs
Terms and conditions
A seemingly simple knowledge test question can probe your knowledge on more than one level, but a student pilot who has carefully studied the material won't be fazed. Consider this sample question from the private pilot knowledge test: "Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates:
First, note that the term for which a proper definition is desired is altitude, and the condition for applying the term is field elevation. From hitting the books you recall that a pilot must consider several types of altitude. "Altitude in itself is a relevant term only when it is specifically stated to which type of altitude a pilot is referring. Normally when the term altitude is used, it is referring to altitude above sea level since this is the altitude which is used to depict obstacles and airspace, as well as to separate air traffic," says Chapter 7 of the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (7-6) . It discusses five altitude terms that mainly concern pilots: indicated, true, absolute, pressure, and density altitude.
Memory aids may help you remember the meanings. Indicated altitude is just that—the altimeter's indication at the current altimeter setting. Pressure altitude is what you get when you set standard pressure (29.92 inches hg) on your altimeter. Density altitude is an important calculation telling how air density at any level is affected by nonstandard temperature and pressure. See the May 31, 2002, " Training Tip". True altitude is defined as the "vertical distance above sea level." Think of it as the true yardstick measure. Absolute altitude is the vertical distance of an aircraft above ground level, and is an exception to the above rule that altitudes are usually referenced to sea level.
Now let's review that test question. Discard answer A; this is not an altitude term used in the text. Don't be misled by the similar-sounding, more commonly used term calibrated airspeed. Answer B fails because at field elevation absolute altitude is zero. The correct answer is C. Note the aeronautical handbook definition of true altitude states that "airport, terrain, and obstacles elevations on aeronautical charts are true altitudes."
Sporty's Pilot Shop enhances electronic products
Sporty's Pilot Shop's recreational pilot, private pilot, and instrument rating courses have been updated with the company's shift to mobile. For $49.95 extra with every course price, pilots can access the video portions of the courses through multiple handheld devices, such as an iPhone, iPad, and many other smartphones. The videos have been optimized for use through wireless networks and for use over cellular phone networks.
Note: Products listed have not been evaluated by ePilot editors unless otherwise noted. AOPA assumes no responsibility for products or services listed or for claims or actions by manufacturers or vendors.
Question: I am a private pilot without a current medical. Is it possible for me to log pilot-in-command flight time?
Answer: This question is perhaps one of the most frequently asked at AOPA and the short answer is yes. This question is specifically addressed in the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 61.51, " Pilot logbooks." Section (e)(i) allows a sport, recreational, private, commercial, or airline transport pilot to log pilot-in-command flight time when the individual is the sole manipulator of the controls in an aircraft in which the individual is rated or holds privileges. The important distinction is between logging pilot-in-command flight time and acting as pilot in command. The regulation just referenced is for logging pilot-in-command flight time and in that case a current medical is not necessary as long as another pilot on board the aircraft can act as pilot in command. The acting pilot in command would be required to hold a current medical, assuming the operation required it. For more on the topic, including several real-world scenarios, read the AOPA subject report, Logbooks and Logging Time.

HOLYOKE – Two local colleges have fine-tuned their worker-training efforts into a business.
Holyoke Community College and Springfield Technical Community College joined efforts in October to establish Training and Workforce Options, or "TWO," in which the two institutions combine their resources to offer training suited to a company's needs.
"It's primarily meant to help existing businesses with their incumbent workers through customized, contract training," said Jeffrey P. Hayden, HCC vice president for business and community services.
The training-for-hire can include teaching workers Spanish, helping them use a particular kind of software and working with managers on how to supervise difficult employees, he said.
The collaboration makes sense for two schools where budgets, and the competition to provide worker training in the same market, can be tight, said Michael Suzor, STCC assistant to the president.
"We share the experience and we share the net revenue," Suzor said.
Fees that TWO will charge will vary according to a company's needs, Hayden said. A company that wants a workshop on how to improve worker productivity for 10 employees might be charged $2,500, or $250 per worker, he said.
TWO has been operating less than four months, so it is hard to tell whether it will be a money-maker or even successful, but Suzor said the response from businesses has been positive.
"They're saying, 'We need training, we need workforce training,'" Suzor said.
To businesses that need workers trained, TWO offers the two schools' faculty and the pledge to hire independent consultants if delivery of a particular kind of training is beyond their resources. Training can deal with healthcare, precision machining, hospitality, technology and other areas, officials said.
TWO is working with the Regional Employment Board of Hampden County Inc. The nonprofit corporation was established in 1980 by federal and state legislation to help the workforce develop.
The board runs the so-called one-stop, worker-helping centers CareerPoint, in Holyoke, and FutureWorks, in Springfield. It makes sense to work with two colleges that have combined their efforts, said J. William Ward, board president and chief executive officer.
"It's that old saying that the two of us are smarter than one of us and two of us have more resources than one of us," Ward said.
Hayden, Suzor and Ward said the goal is that the three instutitions working together will be enough to tap into the worker-training needs of Western Massachusetts businesses.
One business intrigued by TWO is Peter Pan Bus Lines of Springfield. It was unclear if Peter Pan would hire TWO, as some worker training for the company is specialized and done in-house, such as for bus drivers and those who maintain the vehicles, said Robert J. Schwarz, Peter Pan executive vice president.
"Any time you can train your employees is a good thing," Schwarz said. "They really challenged us to think about it."
Besides Hayden and Suzor, the TWO staff consists of senior account representatives Iraida Delgado, Brooks Fitch and Larry Grenier, and Kate Sullivan, marketing specialist and senior account representative. That's in addition to oversight from Keith Hensley, HCC executive director of workforce and economic development, and Debbie Bellucci, STCC dean of continuing education, Hayden said.
The colleges are state facilities. The Regional Employment Board receives funding for its $13 million-a-year-budget from the state and federal governments and private foundations, Ward said.
The Training and Workforce Options web page is accessible at hcc.edu by writing "TWO" in the search box.
'Training and Workforce Options' is a program offered by Holyoke Community College and Springfield Technical Community College

If you're learning Japanese, these Apps will definitely help.
News Manga (漫画ã®æ–°èž)
News Manga has a team of around 100 artists who draw short mangas for news stories every day. Apparently it's to keep young people engaged with the news. Good for learning too, and available from the US App store. The news is way more interesting when you're trying to piece it together whilst waiting for a bus, with a sub-rudimentary understanding of kanji and some cartoons. And it's free.
It's all very clean and tidy and you zoom in enough to read it well:
Free Japanese dictionary based on the JMdict (Japanese-Multilingual Dictionary). Free, comprehensive and frequently updated. Of course the Nintendo DS Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten is better because you can write the characters straight on to the screen, but it's not free and this is a post about iPhone apps not Nintendo, so it's bewildering that I'd even bring it up, pointlessly making a long post even longer, but hey that's what happens when you get to publish without any editorial restraint I suppose. Here a screenshot for your eyes to skip distractedly to, and hopefully avoid this whole sorry paragraph:
Sim City
I grabbed this when it went on sale a few weeks ago, presuming that it would be completely unplayable compared to the PC version (the Mac version is completely unplayable without any excuses), but for 99 cents it was worth a try. Surprisingly it's very good, redeemed entirely by the fact that you get to move and confirm everything you do before you do it. So you can't accidentally put a freeway through a shopping mall. Without that feature it would be useless. And, doubly-surprising, if your phone is set to Japanese the game has full Japanese text:
This one I haven't used for a while, but was a good way to drill the hiragana and katakana in. It's reasonably well put together (I remember one or two words being clipped slightly, but that might have been fixed now) and the weird blue dog and yellow gremlin are oddly encouraging.
Anki is my SRS of choice and it's great. Not that I've used any of the others, so have no frame of reference to compare it, but the computer application works fine and it's free. For the iPhone I've been using AnkiOnline, which has a slightly complicated setup but does work fine. Now there is the dedicated iPhone App which is currently on sale for the princely sum of $24.99 which seems extoritionate compared to most of the other dross in the App Store. However, considering it's a language learning device, which seems to be a field of notoriously expensive aids and abettors, and also considering the desktop download and AnkiOnline are still free, I suppose it's quite reasonable for something you're going to be using many times a day for many years. I haven't bought it yet, but I think if I hit the wrong link on the AnkiOnline screen with my fat fingers one more time, thus being expelled from my deck to a definition page, I'll probably buy it immediately.
Here's a screenshot of the official App:
And this is AnkiOnline, showing an incredibly useful word that I plan to use everyday when I next go to Japan:
Human Japanese
For a well-written way into the grammar of Japanese I think this warrants a look, especially as there is a free version as well as the full $9.99 version. It has the usual slightly daft memory tile games that many apps seem to favour, but the best thing about Human Japanese is the conversational and encouraging tone of the writing. It actually makes grammar rules and sentence structure explanations almost interesting.
Besides these Apps, the iPhone is of course good for podcasts and music to help with immersion. And I suppose if you actually know some real Japanese people you could use the oft-neglected phone feature and speak to them in, if you're me, broken, stilted and incomprehensible Japanish with a bad accent. Which gets you laughed at.

Miami Dolphins player on London:
"I couldn't find London on a map if they didn't have the names of the countries. I swear to God. I don't know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him. That's the closest thing I know to London. He's black, so I'm sure he's not from London. I'm sure that's a coincidental name."
The second from last sentence is amazing
it is pretty funny but I could laugh more heartily
if I didn't know in my heart that plenty of our footballers could give him a run for his money.
anyway, how fucking disgusting was this whole NFL showcase anyway?
You might think their stupid fucking game was soaking in enough money already - but no they feel the need to promote it further around the world. Must increase market share, must increase market share, must increase market share. Scumbags.
And there are people, like me, who love the game
Nearly a million others as well, considering the ticket reservations.
As for the quote, I think he's being a little facetious.
The Premier League will quite blatantly do this
as well. The idea of a loyal season ticket holder losing a home game to a 'soccer' fan across the Atlantic is pretty lame
because no soccer club ever does that.
Oh my GOD I KNOW
It's like it's a fucking BUSINESS or something!?!?
I read a couple of the new Premiership chairman saying how great it would be to do this in reverse.
You keep thinking, 'it can't get any worse', but it seems there is no end to how far 'soccer' can sink.
not going to happen
wouldn't fit into home/away game league pattern, and would be deemed to give certain teams advantages and a whole grey area of legal issues arising from that.
I saw it suggested that it might work for cup games rather than league games, with a semi-final neutral venue in the US rather than Villa Park or wherever. That won't happen either - can you imagine Ferguson, Wenger et al being happy with carting their players halfway across the world with key end of season fixtures piling up? It's bad enough as it is.
this made me weep
how can one man be so stupid?

Season two of House of Cards has been available to stream on Netflix since Friday, meaning you've probably gorged on all thirteen episodes already. (WARNING: Some [non-critical] spoilers lie ahead.) The best worst part? An Anonymous-style hacker and his faithful sidekick, Cashew the guinea pig—every single second of which was absolutely, phenomenally over-the-top ridiculous.
Pretty much every computer nerd/hacker stereotype manages to make its way in. A penchant for pulsing, abrasive techno at unreasonable volumes? Check. Monster display setup with streams of code a la The Matrix? Check. Quirky animal friend? Check. A demeanor equally creepy, pompous, and paranoid? Check, check, and... check.
It's baffling to think that, even today, writers of what may be the best show on (sort-of) television are still resorting to this absurd archetype of the hacker evil genius. But even more baffling? How the hacker's page up key somehow controls every single function on every single computer program.
