16 Exceptional Australia 2016 Emerging category Q How did the idea for The Bikini Body Training Company come about? Kayla: I set up an Instagram account of my work-outs to indulge my little cousins, believing the photos were limited to my friends only, until I received a message from a 'follower' wanting advice on my work-out routine. Q You were both entrepreneurial with your own independent successful personal training businesses before you started The Bikini Body Training company. Where did this spirit come from? Tobias: From age 10 I traded lunchtime snacks at school. As I got older I actively sought challenges to set for myself, to test my limits and have something to work towards with an aim to exceed those goals. Once I achieved success, I would simply move on and seek out the next challenge. Kayla: I was always my own person and my own boss, using myself as my own motivation. When I wanted something done, I would work out how to do it and then apply it myself. I started my own business from my parents' backyard and made it work. duo A dynamic Q The internet and social media were instrumental in the success of your business in the early days. Tell us about that? Kayla: Based on the success of my Instagram account, we identified a potential opportunity and invested our time aggressively, using social media to quickly build the brand globally. Tobias: The internet is without borders so our business model lends itself to easy market penetration, which allowed us to be an international company from day one. Eighty-five per cent of revenue is generated through digital product distribution, including the sale of ebooks, nutrition plans and recipes. Q How will you maintain The Bikini Body Training Company's competitiveness? Tobias: We understand the need for continual development and are working on a multi-device application to create a subscription membership base, built off our social media following and loyal consumers. This will secure repeat sustainable earnings by transitioning from a single purchase model. Kayla: This will enable the company to target different demographics and provide more sustainable revenue. Further developments include expansion into new markets including China, India, Europe and South Africa, as well as continuing to strengthen our presence across the UK, the US, Australia and New Zealand.

Some practical and forgiving lessons for the New Year's Resolutions we all end up making at one point in our lives. For instance:
You first have to focus on positive goals rather than negative ones. A positive goal is an action you want to perform; a negative goal is something you want to stop doing. Your habits are memories of actions you perform in a particular situation. You can't learn not to do something, so if you focus yourself only on stopping behaviors, you will never develop new habits.
Sounds good to us! What are your New Year Resolutions?

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are a pretty nasty topic; as CEO Artur Bergman notes, it's emotionally damaging to be a victim of a DDoS. Fundamentally, a DDoS is an attempt to make machine or network resources unavailable to the intended users: an attack on your infrastructure, customers, and employees — on the entire being of your company. As an edge cloud platform with a large network of globally distributed points of presence (POPs), we're in a unique position to track global traffic patterns, and we defend our customers against attacks on a daily basis. In this post, we'll take a look back at the history of DDoS, sharing how these attacks have evolved and the trends we're seeing. Getting a handle on the various shapes and sizes of DDoS will help inform how you address these attacks on your own infrastructure — you may not always be able to predict attacks, but knowing what's out there and preparing for the worst will help you protect and mitigate.
In the last 20 years, DDoS attacks have become front-page news; they're often tied to high-profile events — everything from the Olympics and Super Bowl to political events such as elections, political parties, and news coverage are targeted. DDoS attacks are an easy, accessible way for people to achieve their aims — whether that's putting a competitor out of business or silencing somebody. It's all about making a statement in a very visible, impactful way.
For context, here's what normal traffic looks like:
Here's a DDoS attack – you have traffic coming from a lot of different sources and going where it shouldn't:
Here's another view — a medium-sized DDoS, at about 160 Gbps:
You can see the DDoS begin probing about two hours before the full attack, and then the floodgates open.
DDoSes can be divided into types:
The rise in popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices — like DVRs, IP cameras, and NVRs (network video recorders) — has set the stage for massive IoT botnet attacks. The largest and perhaps most famous of these were last year's Mirai attacks against security journalist Brian Krebs and DNS provider Dyn. The connections poorly secured IoT devices have to big networks plus an uptick in bitcoin-enabled extortion provide ample and easy opportunities for attackers. For this reason a number of people in the industry have been keeping and eye on the new IOT Reaper (aka IOTROOP) botnet, which has yet to launch any DDoS attacks of note.
The nature and complexity of DDoS attacks can vary, however — i.e., in terms of whether you're being attacked at the application layer, in the kernel, or the network, and whether you're being attacked directly or indirectly. Attacks can change as they're happening as attackers try to evade defenses.
Here's how varied and complex DDoS attacks can be (adapted from a 2004 paper by J Mirkovic and P Reiher):
How did we get here? Here's a look back at DDoS attack traffic evolution:
Throughout this time, the theme has remained the same: the attacker wishes to overwhelm the victim's resources, and malware or exploits provided leverage. The victim must expend time and effort to drop attack traffic and maintain legitimate traffic. Each side must expect different amounts of work to achieve their aims, with the defender typically paying more money than the attacker.
Stay tuned — in our next post, we'll share some of the methods we use to protect our customers from DDoS attacks, including leveraging both the Security Research and Network Engineering teams. We'll offer an inside look at a DDoS attack, plus how you can apply the lessons we've learned to your own infrastructure.

One of our favorite places to look for social emotional products is Etsy. Because so many mamas, dads and teachers have Etsy shops on the side, it is a fantastic way to see what ideas are working for others. Check out what we found:
Blue Umbrella Designs is selling this awesome feelings chart. This would be easy for younger children to understand and we love that it's made of felt. $15.00
Zooble sells these adorable and colorful Waldorf emotions dolls. These would be fantastic for pretend play or games. $16.90
Zooble also sells these pretend felt bandages. Great for medical play and who doesn't love a band-aid? $18.50
Designs by Raja makes these cool felt emotions spinners. These would be great for bedtime "How was your day?" conversations or anytime that a visual would be helpful. $8.00
All About Feelings has this great feelings "flipper" that has solutions to the feelings on the back. This would work well for ages 4 and up. $18.00
My Mookie makes these funny little moldable stress balls. You can change the expressions! $12.00
Lastly, and perhaps the most fun, Life Remembered will take your personal photos and turn them into a custom photo book of feelings. It is a bit pricey but totally awesome! $65.00 Use the promo code FLEDGLING10 to get $10 off your next purchase with Life Remembered (expires 3/31/16).
That's all for now! We are continuously impressed with how creative these Etsy folks are and will be adding to this list periodically. These are all wonderful gift options for young children and will be great additions to your home or classroom.
Let Them Fly!

Christopher Langton, M.D., probably a native of Yorkshire, was educated at Eton, and elected thence in 1538 to King's College, Cambridge, where he proceeded A.B. 1542-3. [On the 11th Jan 1545-6 he had a licence from the faculty office of the Archbishop of Canterbury to marry Margaret Chambers of the City of London. Harveian Soc? vol.ixxiv p.6.] He stands in our Annals as a doctor of medicine of Cambridge, and was admitted a Fellow, 30th September, 1552; but on the 17th July, 1558, in the presidency of Dr. J. Caius, was expelled, and, as the following extract from the Annals shows, on ample professional and moral grounds. "1558, xvii. Julii. Christopher Langton exclusus est collegio ob temeritatem, levitatem, et stultam contentionem suam cum collegis in visitationibus ægrotantium, præasentibus arbitris, contra statuta collegii, etiam ter culpæ admonitus: obque vanam gloriam et superbiam quibus passim utitur, et se ridiculum præbet omnibus, contra honorem collegii: et quasdem incontinentiæ notas, quas omitto." His moral character, says Mr. Cooper, (1) must have been very bad, as on 16th June, 1563, he was, for his incontinency, carted through London in ridiculous attire.
He died in 1578, and was buried in the church of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate [Bishopsgate struck out by Munk, and replaced with 'Billingsgate'], London. He was the author of –

Riot Games has a long list of features that it is working on around the clock to release for the new League of Legends client.
Posting on the official forums, writer Ryan "Cactopus" Rigney shared a road-map of the developer's future plans. Riot Games is currently working on a handful of features, after which it will move on to another list of prioritized changes.
Features in Development
The developer will soon be bringing out another batch of improvements for the general chat window, client stability, and the time it takes to get to the end-of-game screen. In addition, the amount of time it takes to enter the champion-select screen is being reduced.
Features Planned for Development
There are five features that the developer has highlighted for high priority. These include the ability to purchase skins while inside the champion-select screen, making the mastery-editing page inside the champion-select screen smaller, and allowing players to choose a skin after locking in a champion. Finally, the developer is interested in improving the response time of navigational buttons in the client to not feel sluggish and bettering the "recently played" list.
While no release dates were mentioned, Riot Games noted that it expects to be done with most of these by the end of the year.
New Features
Riot Games has not forgotten about long-requested features. Rejoice knowing that the League of Legends client will indeed get a separate tab to showcase all skins purchased. Descriptions for summoner icons are incoming and the developer is also interested in allowing everyone to preview chroma packs before purchasing.
At extremely low priority is the ability to spectate high-elo games. According to Riot Games, the feature was removed from the legacy client last year because of a security vulnerability. This is yet to be solved and the developer is considering other ways to tackle the problem.
Strangely, the road-map for the League of Legends client did not mention voice communications. It was only last week when the South Korean branch of Riot Games confirmed that the client will soon be updated to allow players to voice chat. Perhaps it was talking about its regional client.
Last month, the opening login animation of the League of Legends client triggered a mild epilepsy attack for a community member. Riot Games responded quickly by taking down the login animation.

There was a time when buying holiday property meant, for the British, a caravan in Cornwall or, for the rain tolerant, the Lake District. These day's we've branched out a bit and, like our colonial forebears, aren't afraid to go global in the property search. Buying in France, Spain or further a-field in Florida or the Caribbean is now not unheard of. The States and the Caribbean can both offer one very attractive thing to us Brits; bloody good weather. However, buying abroad can be a risky business and for anybody considering the Caribbean it's worth taking your time and not rushing to buy the first beach hut you find!
Where is the Caribbean?
No, I'm not being facetious; after all, Columbus thought he'd found India. The problem with the Caribbean is that it's a small word that covers a big area. Nor is it one neatly defined jurisdiction but covers a whole massive great range of states, most of which are tiny. St Kitts and Nevis, for example, covers a startlingly small area and has a parliament consisting of fewer members than a town council back home in the UK. At the other end of the scale are the big Caribbean states, Cuba, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. In the case of St Kitts and Nevis, like so many Caribbean states, there's a slightly bigger power behind the throne, or in St Kitts case, on it. Formerly a British colony, St Kitts is now an Overseas Territory, which is a bit like being part of the UK, only way better. Jamaica, while independent still has the Queen as head of state, while Cuba has been one of the smaller, but feisty, communist nations in global history. You can also add to this mix the independent Dominican Republic and the politically confused "country most likely to become the 51st US state" (Puerto Rico) and Belize. Formerly British Honduras, Belize is also listed as a Caribbean state, though technically in Central America, this former British colony is also a popular ex-pat home from home. As you can see that "buying a home in the Caribbean" is never going to be straightforward!

So where to look?
So what does this mean for those starting their search for the dream home in paradise? Tread carefully and consider where you would like to settle is probably good advice. The Caribbean states are not known for their political upheaval in recent years. In the past the area was strategically important and riddled with pirates; these days things are quieter, but potential for trouble remains in Cuba and uncertainty as to status is possibly a national past time in Puerto Rico. Belize is considered one of the most politically stable countries in the region, although neighbouring Guatemala has some issues over the exact borders. The smaller islands in the Caribbean often offer the most stable, not to mention unspoilt, places to hang your hat, sunglasses and exotic cocktail. For British ex-pats islands like St Kitts and Nevis may well hold the strongest appeal.
Residency requirements
There are around 7000 islands in the Caribbean that have laws allowing foreigners to buy property. Some require a licence, like Tobago, while others have no restrictions. St Kitts and Nevis have an economic citizenship scheme, which allows those investing over $400,000 in property to become citizens of the country. This has some significant tax advantages for many British individuals who can take advantage of the warm and friendly tax climate, whilst retaining their rights to travel freely in EU states. The biggest advantage too many facing increasing costs and taxes in the UK are almost certainly financial, although the climate may be more than enough of a reason for many British people.
St Kitts real estate can offer a little slice of paradise for those looking for a more exotic home from home. With attractive tax arrangements and an even more attractive climate this tiny Caribbean nation offers a great deal for investors and ex-pats alike.

Rock-a-Bye BabyGirls: Thoughts and Other Journeys of the Mind
Paperback, 46 Pages
Price: $9.99
Prints in 3-5 business days
A collection of writings about the fetish of infantilism. It's not an educational read about infantilism, but rather a romantic fantasy about role playing. Some role playing themes affect one in a physical way. Some affect emotions. Some go so deeply as to affect the heart, mind and soul. One such theme is infantilism, aka The Daddy's Girl fetish. The age difference between the roles played becomes a foundation for a relationship. A girl pretends to be little and a guy pretends to be her father. The attraction is the feeling of vulnerability met with the "Daddy's" nurturing care. She dresses in clothing fitting to the age she role plays. It can include infantile behavior, diapers, pacifiers, bibs, bottles, toys, cribs, nurseries, high chairs and other things. If you like role playing, erotic fantasy, infantilism, or adult fetishes, this book is a must read. THIS SUBJECT MATTER IS OF AN ADULT-NATURE AND NOT INTENDED FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18.

I've already posted this on the Education board but thought is also relevant for here
DS has just got the results of his Junior Cert Maths (H) mocks - horrendous result. All but four of the class failed and the ones who passed got a D's. It's a small class - 15 in total doing higher level. DS did say that the paper was way harder that any of the past papers that they have done. He said that the teacher just roared and bawled at them yesterday saying that they should have been able to do it and is now telling all of those who failed that they will have to do ordinary level for the Junior Cert.
None of the boys in the class like this teacher, DS says that its difficult to ask him questions in class as all his answer is "look at the example in the book", we and other parents have found him to be very unapproachable.
Now my boy is no angel and hasn't been killing himself with work, but when the brighest boys in the class are only geting a D and low D's at that, is this a reflection on the teacher and what should we do apart from grinds.
Ds even said he would consider changing schools in 5th year as he sees no hope for himself doing well in maths for leaving cert with this teacher. Its a small school with only two maths teachers.
Another maths teacher here. I've also written mock papers, corrected mock papers, and corrected JC papers.
First of all, to dispel some myths. They do not "Mark the mocks very hard" and they don't "think by marking the papers tough it will make the kids work harder." Also I doubt that the mock paper was "harder than any of the other papers done before".
The job of the person setting the mock paper is to make a paper and marking scheme as similar as possible in standard to all previous papers. They are set & corrected by private companies, and usually the paper will be overseen by 2 experienced teachers before being printed. About 4 of these companies will send their papers to all the different schools, and a school can pick their favourite. There is little difference in price between the companies so cost isn't usually a decider.
So, assuming the paper was a fair level, and not marked any harder than a real paper, why do students do so badly in mock maths papers? Well, one reason is that JC and LC grades have to fit in within a bell curve of results, so sometimes people will be given a pass with less than 40%, whereas in the mocks the true result is given.
Another reason, the main one I believe, is that maths takes a lot of "coming together" at the end. The students spend 2.5 years learning all kinds of new concepts, and most students will understand most concepts at the time in school. However pulling that all together is very difficult for students, and really only happens towards the very end of third year, following lots of revision. I myself, was very strong in maths through school, but went from a D in the mocks to an A in the Leaving Cert. It wasn't marked easier, I just couldn't get it all together in time for the mocks, and I could for the LC.
I am a believer in grinds, when I give them myself I see huge jumps in student's achievements. I also have experience of sending students to the revision days in Trinity, which they have found very beneficial. In general I would say if the student is coping in class up until now, then a revision day is probably the best way to go (big classes, good lectures, clear notes booklets). If the student struggles in class on a day to day basis, then grinds is probably more suitable.
In maths, moreso than in other subjects (I teach 2 other subjects), the results are likely to come up between the mocks and the final exam.
Joe Duffy is discussing project maths - it will be on the RTE site if anyone is interested.
I'm a maths teacher, so let me add my 2c. Just to be clear, half of this thread refers to last year's JC (which would have been the old JC course unless the OP was in a pilot school for project maths) and half is the current JC which as junebebe says, is sort of half and half.
The problem of students doing badly at HL maths in the mocks has been around a while, it isn't just Project Maths related. Very often students stick with HL despite the fact that they aren't able for it, or else they just haven't done the work. Either way a poor grade can be a wake-up call.
There are definitely massive problems with the new way of asking questions in project maths exams. I'm not altogether convinced that the new format of questions is fair - there is way too much text to wade through, subjectivity in answers, too many questions (15 on paper 2, all with different recommended times of 5 mins, 10 mins etc), and worst of all, no indication of how marks are awarded within questions so students don't know if it is worthwhile spending extra time trying to solve a tricky problem - a real nightmare. The only positive is that it is really testing understanding - so rote learning a technique won't get you a good grade. You have to understand what you are doing.
I disagree with the idea that all students should have a go at higher level, though of course I would encourage as many as possible to do so if they are able. I find that approx the top 75% of students can cope with HL maths for JC - it isn't for everyone. And students definitely learn more actual maths if they are studying it at an appropriate level. Many students who got a D in HL maths in their JC don't have as good a foundation in the basic concepts as those who did OL and got an A or a B or even a C. Even worse, they throw their hat at the idea of understanding and rely on a few tricks and tips to get them through, like mud sticking to a wall.
To all the parents of this year's JC mock students, if you can, take a look at the actual exam paper they submitted and ask the teacher for a copy of the marking scheme. It is unbelievable how many smart students leave fairly straightforward questions unattempted in exams, or misread what they are asked, or don't give the right units or write illegibly, or too faintly on those damned boxes, or throw away marks on other really simple stuff. The marking schemes of the real JC will offer a very high proportion of the marks for attempts so it is always worth trying. Also, find out if they had everything covered in time for the mocks - it could well be the case that they hadn't yet finished the course and that might account for 10% or more of the missing marks.
Hi girls, I have dd doing jc higher level maths. She went from an A at Christmas to 50% in her mocks . In general it was paper 2 containing project maths questions that threw most students. In my dds class 11 out of 28 passed. On the back of this I rang examinations board to ask them about the format of higher level maths for jc this and also expressed our concern that the kids couldn't figure out what in fact they were being asked for! The lady there was very very helpful and said paper 1 is the old maths questions and there would be just 2 project maths questions on paper 2. Although our kids are the 1st full JC yr doing the project maths it has been in trial for 2 yrs at JC level and nearly 5 yrs at LC in trial schools. According to her teachers were given full training but IMO I think a lot of teachers still can't get their heads around it. She also said that if in June the majority of students do not get it they will mark accordingly! She did say there was a lot of vocabulary in the questions and this seems to throw most kids. Literally the answer to the question is in the question they just need to read it very very carefully. I too am shelling out for grinds so as to pick up the slack on poor teaching!
Hi kopgirl, I was delighted to see your post on Junior cert maths. My son has also just completed junior cert mocks. We decided to send him for grinds last October because he was struggling in the higher paper. His grades went from a bare pass to 87% in the christmas exams. His grinds teacher informed me that he was well capable of thehigher level paper. However on the day of the Maths mocks he came out of the exam very upset at the paper. He said it was much more difficult than any papers they had done previously. His teacher is also hinting that he should do the lower paper now but I'm just not sure who I should be listening to.
DD is getting her reults back in dribs and drabs. Her Honours English was around 37 which we were surpised about. As far as I can gather this years JC Maths paper will be half project maths and half the old course so it seems very hard for the teachers to predict with any certaintity what will come up. Even rewise wise aren't publisihing a maths book this year for JC or LC as they are obviously unsure what to cover in their book. Also DD reckons they have probably only coverd 70% of the course as the teacher they had in 1st year didn't cover enough and they are behind. Her teacher is even giving an extra hours class on a Wednesday to try and catch up.
There is an online tutorial called themathstutor.ie which might help. Project maths keeps changing...
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
Hi, I am delighted to see you post this as I am currently concerned with this issue. I am based outside Dublin and though my son hasnt got his results yet, in the other higher class only one pass getting 43%.
In one of the other schools in the town there was only one passed Junior Cert Maths in total. A third school modified the results before giving them back because they said the bad results didnt accurately reflect the children as some areas hadnt been covered yet!
I talked to a friend this morning and her son in a North Side school also failed his maths and only 3 passed with 'D's in his class.
Parents I know are in a panic about getting grinds and wondering should they move them to lower level maths but I think there is a bigger problem here that schools need to address with the Department. What is taught in class in obviously not what is coming up in the papers. The lack of sample papers is also an issue as this project maths is all so new. My son had a great maths teacher but I wonder does he know what he should be teaching. Thanks for raising the topic. I plan to talk to the principal of the school when my son gets his results and I hope others will do the same.
check out www.digitalgrinds. my son is in second year and was stuck on a couple of things. this disc proved very helpful. they are interactive grinds for the computer. you can also contact the guys who developed it if you need help. check with them if its suitable for higher level junior cert but i think it is. i think their grinds for leaving cert may deal a lot with project maths but i'm not sure. good for junior cert though.
hi all
youngsters have differing learning mechanisms, what works for one may not work for another, what you need to do is have them assessed by someone who has the skills to show them three or four different ways of doing the same maths problem, in a normal school setting the teachers dont have the time to do this individual work, it wont cost you a whole lot and it should kick start your teenagers, really good for their confidence. the only person i have experience of is my own son (david mckenna 0874191306) he is an engineering graduate who has a really good way with teenagers, i have used his services myself as i work with teens in crisis, any work he has done for us has been greatly appreciated by the teens themselves.
try it or at least get another reccomendation

annie40 - thats pure mad deciding higher or lower in first year almost irrespective of the results. A child changes so much after 1st year when they are just settling into secondary. What on earth can a school be thinking of to let a child with 97% move to lower grade maths. It would virtually close off so many college courses he might want to do as doing lower level for JC makes it impossible to do higher for LC, and it flies in the face of trying to raise the standards of maths in this country to take such a lackadasical attitude to a child's future. my ds struggled a bit in 2nd year but nothing major, he didn't like the teacher but there was no question of him doing lower by the school. In JC this year and new teacher working really well with him and talking of him being capable for higher for the LC which I never thought he would be capable of even attempting.
tresicar - I think your right about marking the mocks too hard and discouraging kids rather than it making them work harder. If they get such a low mark then of course some of them are going to move to lower level when they might well be quite capable of the higher level.
they mark the mocks very hard. I was in terrible panic last year 23% in eng(H) the best in the class was 50%. How do you send in a child to do honours after that result? but I was told once the levels are put down for junior cert you can't change and certainly not on the day of the exam. As far as I know you can with the LC. They think by marking the papers tough it will make the kids work harder. It is not a very positive attitude. Then when they get a much better result in the real thing they get a false security about exams.
Thanks for all replies. We discussed it with DS at the weekend and he has agreed to have grinds. The teacher who is giving him the grinds has a son in DS's class and he was shocked at his sons's result, he is helping mih and was amazes at how little he knew.
There is only about 15 in the class and a bit of messing has gone on - we have had plenty of harsh words with DS over this but from what I can gather from the parent teacher meeting and speaking to his year head - it's just typical boy stuff. In my opinion a teacher should be able to nip this in the bud anyway, other teachers have no problem in that regard.
Apporaching the principal could be awkard as he (the principal) is the only other maths teacher in the school, he is taking the ordinary level JC class.
Hopefully the grinds will help some bit, but an hour a week between now and June...........
Hi Kopgirl, sorry to read of your ds difficulty with his Maths exam. The quality or lack of quality in a teacher can have such an effect on the childs learning. Some kids just need to have a concept explained in a little more detail to grasp it. Look at the example in the book is not exactly helpful. How is the relationship between parents of students and the school principal? We are lucky to have a very good and very approachable Principal at our school who will admit where there are shortcomings. Maybe ring and see if you can make an appointment to chat with the principal about this issue. If you and others feel strongly enough perhaps ye could approach him as a group with your concerns. After all the kids will only get one chance at the exam and time is of the essense. Good luck with it....

Parents Night
It's that time of year again, folks: Parents' Night. Can I just say that we is proud parents. See me with the puffed up chest.
There was one minor complaint from Teach. The wee fella has an excellent attitude and wants nothing more than to do well. This has an unfortunate side effect. As the Teach put it, he has a "fondness for an exclamation". If things don't quite go his way, he has a tendency to shout out his frustrations.
So while his wee pals are bent over their desks doing their thing he's all...
You can see how that might be off-putting. I would certainly be off-putted if I was sat beside him. However, when Teach told me this I could do nothing but laugh. Am I bad? Does this a bad parent me make?
I was hoping Teach would put me over the desk and give me a good caning as a punishment for this response. She just gave me THAT look and I was 10 again.
Needless to say, the wee man doesn't like his teacher. She's "too shouty".
A sentence with "pot" and "kettle" jumps into my mind.

One of the best things about kids is that they usually say what they really think/feel until adults force the sincerity out of them. It's a shame some adults feel compelled to do just that, goddammit!ReplyDelete
I know, it's crud!ReplyDelete
yeah, it stinks!! so happy to hear the wee one is applying himself to his studies!ReplyDelete

Exactly I was thinking - she doesn't like the competition. Er, she doesn't read your blog does she???ReplyDelete
I left teaching because I strongly believe kids today require generals instead of teachers :)ReplyDelete

Select the correct size furniture, another important room ideas for decorating includes selecting the right size of furniture. When you are ready to shop for bedroom furniture, consider the floor plan and the measurement of the bedroom space. Furniture picked up should fit in the bedroom. Avoid selecting heavy and large dressers and beds for a small bedroom. On the other accessories that are very small tend to get lost in a large bedroom.
When it is time to retire for the evening, rest comes much easier in a relaxing room with a soft, beautiful decor. The seascape bedroom will provide comfort, sound and the illusion of rocking waves that gently puts a person into a deep slumber. It takes so little to create the beauty of the sea shore in the bedroom of your choice.

Refurbishing Utilised Storage Containers For the Fresh new Look

Even if they may be applied, these containers are strong and strong because they may be designed from factors of high quality metal that make it possible for them being stacked along with other containers. You will find 3 regular dimensions. There are 10 toes Storage Containers, twenty ft storage containers and forty ft storage containers. These containers are low-cost and provide quick non permanent cupboard space that can mix with their environment. When the want for them is up, you may take away them quickly from your premises. This can be a much more hassle-free and functional system of safekeeping of bigger merchandise. Rather than building an additional space, you are able to rent or invest in one based on your requirements.

Needing to win out, with a little bit of help, the Gonzales Apaches have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after taking a 48-28 loss to San Antonio Veterans Memorial on Tuesday, Feb. 6.
The loss comes after another close loss, this one against top-district contending Wimberley on Friday, Feb 2. Head Coach A.J. Irwin called the game "the best basketball I've ever seen these guys played."
On Friday, the Apaches took a surprising 9-8 lead to end the first quarter against the Texans.
"The last time we beat Wimberley was Feb. 25, 2003, a regional quarterfinal game," Irwin explained. "We won 70-64 and that game sent us to the regional tournament where we ended up losing in the regional final to Aransas Pass."
But the Apaches had three more quarters to play to accomplish something they haven't done all district season.
"I told the guys, 'you know what our problem is right now?'" Irwin recounted. "And they're saying different things, 'we're missing block outs' 'we're missing free throws' 'we're missing layups.' I'm like, 'all those things, you're correct, but that's not what I'm looking for.' They're like, 'well what?' I look at the scoreboard, they look up, I say 'the only problem we've got is there's still time on the clock,' and they got a kick out of that."
The Texans would pull away in the second quarter, ending the half up 35-25. The Apaches would keep pace in the third quarter, still within 10 entering the final period. Ultimately, foul troubles, among other growing pains would be too much to overcome as Wimberley won the game by 18, a 66-48 decision.
"I think [that game] speaks volumes to where these guys are in terms of growth as basketball players, but not only as basketball players, their leadership," Irwin said.
"Some things don't go out way, and that's going to happen in anything, even in life," he continued. "But I think these boys handled the adversity well and it was a game all the way down to the end. I've never seen that Wimberley coach so frustrated, ever. Especially playing against us. We just — I'm extremely proud of where these boys have gotten."
Trevion McNeil ended that night with a double-double, scoring 16 points and 11 rebounds. He added two assists and one steal to the stat sheet. Eight total players scored points, including sophomore Mason Richter who had eight points, one rebound and three steals and Contrell Smith who had six points, two rebounds, one assist and a team-leading three steals.
On Tuesday night, needing a win and some teams to lose, the Apaches lost by 20 to San Antonio Veterans Memorial, eliminating Gonzales from playoff contention. The Apaches drop down to 0-8, with two more district games left in the season. They take on Austin Eastside Memorial (5-3) at home on Friday, then travel to play Navarro (3-5) on Tuesday in hopes of playing spoiler.

The week ahead.
US stocks have received a slight boost as oil prices retreat and new home sales unexpectedly rose on a month on month basis. However, we shouldn't really read too much into this, as there is a margin for error in these figures and new home sales in the US are still down 42% year on year. In addition, the Case-Schiller benchmark house price index is now showing a record decline of 14%. During the early 90s housing recession, this figure reached just -2.8%, which is a real indicator of the absolute capitulation in the US housing market. Predictions of double digit losses for the UK housing market may not be far off the mark, especially in light of recent house price data showing record month on month falls.
There isnt the immediate connection between UK house prices and the FTSE as there is with oil and equities at the moment. Before the credit crunch broke, US house prices were on the retreat, yet stock markets continued to rally. Oil currently has a more immediate relationship with equity performance because of its daily volatility and that fact that many traders have already moved to price in a UK housing slump. The banking sector itself however, does have more significant correlation between house prices and share prices. Banks were amongst the worst performing sectors last week as fears of repossessions and negative equity caused many to question the values of their loan books. RBS also dragged the sector down with rumours that its rights issue would fail.
The FTSE finished the week below its European peers and well below US markets, who actually managed a decent gain on the week. In the US, the Nasdaq led the charge with Google up on encouraging pay per click data. Ironically, it may have been lower oil prices that hit the FTSE hardest last week. Oil finished down, around $8 from the peak of $135, sending oil majors such as BP and Shell lower over the reduced trading week. Financial stocks contribute around 25% of the FTSEs total weighting and Oil & Gas stocks arent far behind at just under 20%.
While there is still scope for oil to at least contain its price inflation, there is a long way to go before the impact of high oil prices is nullified. Todays pull back was welcomed in the short term by traders, but the realisation is setting in that sky-rocketing oil prices have left a trail of inflationary destruction in their wake that wont disappear over night, even if prices dip back below $100.
The stand out announcements next week revolve around interest rates. On Thursday, the BoEs Monitory Policy committee will announce the latest headline interest rate decision. A rate cut seems to be off the cards given recent comments from Governor King. The most likely decision will be to keep rates at 5%, there is always a small potential for upside. In Europe, the ECB has been taking a stronger line on inflation for longer with the German central bank calling for rate hikes. Elsewhere we have important employment data from the US on Friday on top of top tier manufacturing data earlier in the week. The Halifax house price index is tentative for some time on Tuesday, an announcement that could cement the UK housing decline.
The GB Pound/ US Dollar exchange rate, known as cable was virtually unchanged over the week, but given the raft of announcements due on both sides of the pond, there could be some significant movement next week. An Up or Down trade wins if either of two barrier levels are hit within the specified time. An Up or Down trade on GBP/ USD to touch either 1.9454 or 1.992 within the next 10 days could return 11%.

Exclusive: Judge Tosses Sean Kingston's $900K Catch Fade Case Against Nightclub
"Beautiful Girls" Singer Sued Club Where He Said He Was Jumped & Robbed Of $330k In Jewelry
An L.A. judge has thrown out Sean Kingston's lawsuit accusing a Hollywood nightspot's security guards of being in on his beat down and robbery after the singer straight up stopped coming to court over the matter.
Sean Kingston sued SK WS Enterprises, the owners of Playhouse nightclub in 2016, accusing the club's security of helping to set him up to get jumped and robbed of necklaces worth more $300,000. The club owners said in court papers that they had nothing to do with Sean's assault and robbery inside the venue.
The case was supposed to head to trial, but Sean abruptly stopped moving the legal proceedings forward. He missed his last two court hearings, and the fed up judge ordered the case dismissed last month, according to court papers obtained by BOSSIP. The judge said Sean didn't tell the court why he was blowing the case off, but the singer's major money troubles could be the blame. Last year, he admitted in court papers in a suit over unpaid legal work that he had less than $500 in the bank and was living with his mother.
On the night of the alleged assault, Sean said he was hanging out in the VIP section, when the club's security approached him and asked him to visit with another high profile guest. But as the singer approached, an unknown person began hitting him with their fists and knocked him over the head with a champagne bottle, according to his complaint.
When Kingston's friends tried to intervene on the assault, he said the club's security guards stopped them in their tracks. He said a robber then snatched his chains – worth more than $300,000 – and fled the scene.
Kingston demanded $900,000 for his pain and suffering and he'd been living in fear and suffered from crippling anxiety as a result of getting jumped and robbed. But last month, the judge dismissed the case, with prejudice, which means he can sue the club again if he wants.

Garlic consumption has quadrupled in the United States since 1980, and now it stands at two-and-a-half pounds per capita — and demand continues to grow annually.
In years of normal weather patterns, around 24,000 to 26,000 acres of garlic are planted in the United States, with the strongest concentration in California.
The United States is the largest importer of garlic, primarily from China, Argentina, Mexico and Spain. This year, due to the drought and moisture problems during harvesting in California, a rise in imports is a realistic scenario.
"Demand for California garlic is going to be very strong," said Jim Provost, owner of I Love Produce in Kelton, PA. "The crop is reduced in 2015 versus 2014 due to a combination of reasons, including the weather and seed. In the Northern Hemisphere — in addition to California — China and Spain are major garlic producers.
"China's acreage was reduced by about 10 percent for 2015, but due to increased production yields, the crop looks to be about average in size," he continued. "Spain has a good quality crop for 2015, although its overall production has declined compared to 2014, and some areas did receive some rain damage."
He pointed out that the overall garlic market in North America will be strong, in part because of decreased yields in California and also because of U.S. Customs & Border Protection enforcement efforts on Chinese garlic.
"With garlic demand growing year over year, with this year being no exception, North America will keep a strong market in 2015," noted Provost. "The main variable on pricing will be the amount of Chinese garlic that comes into the U.S. market. If Chinese shippers don't over-ship to the market, prices will remain stable."
Provost added that Spanish garlic will be an important part of I Love Produce's 2015 program because availability of California garlic will be tight this year.
A leading distributor of garlic, ginger, pearl and Cippolini onions and sun dried tomatoes in a variety of fresh and value-added formats, I Love Produce also offers an organic line.
"We have now introduced U.S.-produced organic chopped and organic crushed garlic to our line," Provost added.

Pain does not discriminate on the basis of race, class or gender; however, the suffering from pain does.
Chronic pain–pain that extends beyond the expected period of healing– is a serious public health issue afflicting more Americans than cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease combined.
Poorly controlled pain erodes the quality of life for patients and their families. It often leads to isolation, suffering and despair. In fact, pain is usually the most difficult part of any medical challenge.
Pain is called "the great equalizer."
However, disparities in the suffering from pain fall along lines of class, age, gender and ethnicity.
We see a world with less pain. We've launched a radio campaign to reach medically underserved communities.

Implementation of Block based Data Encryption at Bit - Level
Sanjit Mazumder, Sujoy Dasgupta, Pranam Paul
Vol. 11 No. 2 pp. 18-23
With the growth of internet and network, the need for secure data transmission become more and more essential and important, as security is a major concern in the internet world. Data likely to be kept hide from all people except from the authorized user cannot be sent in plane text. So the plane text should be codified i.e. by the process of encryption. Each type of data has its own features, therefore different techniques should be used to protect confidential data from unauthorized access. Here I introduced a new algorithm based on symmetric key block encryption technique. In this algorithm encryption is done on binary file. Since this encryption is done on binary file so this algorithm is applicable for any data such as text as well as multimedia data.

Remember your loved ones at special Suffolk services
Thanksgiving services paying tribute to lost loved ones, organised by St Nicholas Hospice Care, are being held in Bury St Edmunds and Thetford this festive season.
The annual Bury Light up a Life service, on Sunday, December 11, will combine a church service at St Mary's Church (6pm), candlelit procession to Angel Hill and a moving ceremony.
Anyone wanting to take part will be offered a candle to carry from the church, as well as have the name of their loved one read out by Hospice staff, volunteers and supporters.
A service will also be held at the United Reformed Church, Thetford, on Wednesday, December 7 (6.30pm).
Sharon Connell, St Nicholas Hospice Care's chaplain and spiritual care co-ordinator, said: "The Light up a Life events offer people who are bereaved, their family and friends an opportunity to join together and remember those that they have lost.
"It is a chance to celebrate and give thanks for their lives. These services are something we would like the whole community to share in, whether they have been touched by the Hospice or not."
There is no charge for those attending a Light up a Life service, but donations to the Hospice are welcome.
Kevin Clements, the Hospice's fundraising and marketing director, said: "We warmly invite families to take part in Light up a Life over the Christmas period to remember a name or simply light a candle."
Reservations are not required at Light up a Life services, other than the ceremony at the main Hospice site, in Bury, on December 3, from 5pm, where space is limited. For more information or to book a place, go to www.stnicholashospicecare.org.uk/lightupalife or telephone 01284 715572.
