This are country music legends who don’t even need last names (though, unlike some hip-hop performers, they do have them). When I say Loretta, Willie, Tanya, Merle, Lynn, Ronnie, Vince and Ray, you know who I mean. The only “friend” you might have a problem with is “Neil”. No it’s not McCoy (he spells his name Neal) and this Neil is not country. It’s Neil Sedaka, who joins Mary Sarah on the only non-country song among the 10 tracks that form the “core album”. When did “Where The Boys Are” become country? There are really 13 tracks on the 44-minute album with the last three (including one with Big & Rich, One with the album’s Executive Producer and a solo on Brenda Lee’s hit, “I’m Sorry”Mary Sarah has some voice and she replicates the legendary ladies of classic country nearly note for note. Whether it’s Patsy, Dolly, Loretta, Tanya or Tammy (again, you know who I’m referring to). What’ll be really interesting is to watch for her follow-up album with songs we can’t all sing by heart. The voice is there; the future will be in her not being a “cover act” for female classic country singers. I’m pulling for her.The six-page color foldout inside the jewel box has photos of MS with her friends , a track list, the musicians on each of the three sessions (where groups of three or four of the tracks were laid down) and TWO pages of “thank you”’s in minuscule type face. The one thing that is missing – in my opinion – is a bio of MS. Honestly I still don’t know much about her (I guess I could co to her website) but I do like what I’m hearing here.One last comment. If Top40 country radio hooks on to Mary Sarah it may mean that they will actually put Willie, Merle and Dolly back on the radio. These days they only get played on "Americana" (usually non-commercial radio stations. That would be a bonus, in my opinion.I hope you found this review both informative and helpful.Steve Ramm“Anything Phonographic”

I can't think of a precedent where a newcomer records a selection of songs with a whole series of star guests. The only solo track is I'm sorry, the old Brenda Lee classic, but given what else is here, I wonder if the original intention was that Brenda Lee would join in too. Brenda is alive and well despite fake rumors to the contrary, which is the important thing, but she isn't here.So we get 12 duets and one solo track, although some of the guests feature more prominently than others. Another curiosity is the inclusion of Neil Sedaka (writer of Where the boys are) rather than Connie Francis (who, like Brenda Lee, is alive and well despite fake rumors to the contrary) but Neil does a great job, modifying the lyrics he sings appropriately.I was surprised to find that she had chosen The fighting side of me from all Merle Haggard's vast selection of songs. I found out that Mary Sarah had been performing it in concert, and that her fans love it, so fair enough. As with Willie Nelson and Ray Price, Merle's voice is past its peak, but still holding up remarkably well. Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker and Lynn Anderson are still in great form too. The only slight disappointment is that I couldn't hear Vince Gill clearly.Mary Sarah is a fantastic singer, but where does her career go next? I look forward to finding out.22 commentsWas this review helpful to you?YesNoSending feedback...Thank you for your feedback.Sorry, we failed to record your vote.

La. Gov. Bobby Jindal rails against Common Core State Standards - The Washington Post
La. Gov. Bobby Jindal rails against Common Core State Standards
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal shakes hands after speaking at a luncheon for the American Principles Project at the Mayflower Hotel on Feb. 5, 2015 in Washington, D.C. (Andrew Harnik/For The Washington Post)
Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana and a potential Republican presidential candidate, railed against the Common Core during a speech in Washington on Thursday, framing the academic standards as an attack on the conservative values of local control and American exceptionalism.
Jindal likened the Common Core State Standards to the Affordable Care Act program, saying both were produced by “the elite in D.C.” who “think they know better than we do.”
“Local parents, local teachers, local leaders need to make these decisions,” Jindal said at a luncheon sponsored by the American Principles Project, a conservative group that has rallied opposition to the Common Core nationwide. “In our entire history as a country, we’ve never allowed the federal government to make these decisions for us. Now is not the time to start.”
Jindal was an early supporter of the Common Core standards — new academic benchmarks adopted by most U.S. states — praising them as a way to “raise expectations for every child.” But his enthusiasm evaporated as the Common Core became a prominent target for tea party groups and other conservative Republicans.
Republican activists have said that opposition to the Common Core will be a litmus test for any candidate seeking the party’s presidential nomination in 2016.
Jindal also did not name Bush, but he went on the offensive against Republicans who he said have strayed from conservative priorities. “We don’t need Democrat-lite,’ ” he said.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Jindal’s own state superintendent of education have accused him of playing politics with standards that they argue will help make significant improvements in the nation’s public schools. Jindal brushed off those accusations Thursday, saying that his opposition to the standards stiffened as he learned more about how they would play out in classrooms.
Thursday’s event served as a kickoff for American Principles Project’s new effort to build an army of parents to fight the Common Core in statehouses around the country. Parents’ frustration with new Common Core tests and classroom materials have helped fuel opposition to the standards.
“Trust these moms,” Jindal said. “I have more confidence in the moms in this room than I do in any collection of bureaucrats.”
The Common Core State Standards are a set of guidelines describing what children should know and be able to do by the end of each grade level. They were designed to bring some consistency to academic expectations that have varied widely across the country, and they began as a bipartisan, state-led effort largely funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. One aim was to have a set of common exams that would allow student performance to be compared across states.
Jindal said several times Thursday that the standards mean the federal government is “making curriculum decisions for our local classrooms.” Though critics have consistently made that argument, the Common Core is not a curriculum or a set of lesson plans; states and local schools have the power to decide how to teach the required skills.
“The facts don’t back up his rhetoric,” said Chad Colby, spokesman for Achieve, a nonprofit group that managed the development of the standards. “Go to any classroom and you’ll see them using locally selected materials, in a Common Core state or in a non-Common Core state.”
The standards have helped push schools to teach math and language arts differently. Instead of teaching children to add and subtract only with the algorithms their parents learned in school, for example, the Common Core also emphasizes solving problems and applying math to real-life situations. In many classrooms now, it’s as important for children to be able to explain their thinking as it is for them to get the right answer.
Such changes have triggered frustration among many parents. Jindal tapped into those feelings Thursday, telling a story about his second-grade son who, he said, answered every question correctly on an addition and subtraction test but was marked down for failing to explain how he came to his answers.
“My little boy, all of 7 years old, had written for every single answer: ‘Just because it is,’ ” Jindal said to applause.
Colby, the Achieve spokesman, said students need to understand the reasoning behind the algorithms, not just tricks to get the right answer. “Being able to explain it in the early grades helps them as they progress through the math standards toward higher-level math,” Colby said.
The federal government had no official role in developing the standards, but the Obama administration gave $360 million to groups of states that are writing new Common Core tests. In addition, states that embraced “college and career-ready standards” such as Common Core had a better chance of winning grants from Obama’s $4.3 billion Race to the Top program.
Support for the standards has waned since 2011, when Louisiana was one of 45 states that fully adopted the Common Core. Indiana and Oklahoma have since dropped the standards, four states are moving to review and potentially replace them, and anti-Common Core bills have been filed in several state legislatures.
In June, Jindal tried to pull Louisiana out of the Common Core, but he was rebuffed by the state legislature, the state board of education and the state superintendent of education, all of whom supported the standards. Jindal then tried unsuccessfully to sue the state board of education over the standards. In August, he sued the Obama administration, alleging that the federal government had illegally coerced states to adopt the standards. That lawsuit is pending.
Louisiana is one of 12 states, plus the District of Columbia, that are slated this spring to administer new Common Core-aligned tests known as PARCC, or the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.
Last week, Jindal issued an executive order saying that because parents are increasingly expressing concern about PARCC and many want to opt out of the tests entirely, the state board of education should authorize alternative assessments. Chas Roemer, president of the state board, rejected that proposal and said it was an attempt by Jindal to create chaos for political gain. Some states have decided not to administer one of the two main Common Core tests this spring.
Jindal cheered such trends.
“At the end of the day, I’m confident we’re going to win,” Jindal said.“As more and more teachers, more and more kids and more and more parents are exposed to the fallacies of Common Core, our numbers continue to grow.”

By Anne Willan October 6, 1985
I've recently plunged again into the culinary --
at the Library of Congress, where Leonard Beck, Curator of Special Collections, gave me a glimpse of the outstanding rare cookbook collection. With the eager welcome of an enthusiast, Beck pulled book after book from the shelves.
Among the treasures were the manuscript of the first Italian Renaissance cookbook dating from the mid-1450s and the modest "American Cookery" by Amelia Simmons, the first and one of the rarest of all American cookbooks, published in 1796. It's hard to believe that only 30 years later came the brilliant, scarlet-bound volumes of Frenchman Antonin Care me, chef to Talleyrand, the prince regent, and Czar Alexander I.
Our ancestors were very good cooks, as I discovered years ago when I wrote a book on the history of cooking. Take the virtuoso Care me, inventor of the souffle' and architect of grandiose palaces of almond paste and pulled sugar. His autumn soup, which opens this menu, is simplicity itself, a nicely balanced combination of leek, celery, lettuce and green peas simmered in broth. Cream and fried croutons give the soup body, but in warm weather they could be omitted, leaving the fresh flavor of the vegetables to stand on their own.
The main course of veal stew dates to medieval times and Taillevent, cook to the 14th-century French King Charles V. Trestle tables would have been spread with a huge array of meats -- the French word "banquet" means bench, for that was where the guests sat. Copious amounts of spices, brought from the orient, were a sign of the affluence of the host, and in this recipe their flavor is balanced with vinegar and lemon juice (Taillevent's "verjuice" was made of sour grape or crab apple juice). The sauce is thickened with browned bread crumbs, giving a surprisingly light consistency.
Equally unusual is turnip cake, the toast of a party I gave recently. Layered with mozzarella cheese and seasoned with sugar, cinnamon and mace (or nutmeg), the cake dates from the early Renaissance, when vegetables first came into favor on the tables of the rich. From the same era comes zucchini salad, though its dressing of olive oil, vinegar, fennel and saffron could well be a creation of today's nouvelle cuisine. The salad also makes an excellent appetizer, an alternative to the autumn soup.
Last course is apple pie, reminding me of another trip back into history during a recent conference given by the Culinary Historians of Boston. The cookbooks of the Schlesinger Library of Harvard were background to discussions on such diverse subjects as the origins of johnnycake and the computer indexing of recipes. For more concrete sustenance, we enjoyed a colonial dinner, with recipes closely resembling this medieval pie.
Dried raisins and figs take the place of sugar (an almost unknown luxury in early colonial times), with a measure of sweet wine. Spices, of course, are mandatory, and this recipe contains onion -- unexpected, but a natural complement to apple. (Ever tried frying apples and onion to serve with pork or duck?) Old cookbooks often contain agreeable surprises. Timetable
In the accommodating manner of old recipes, all these dishes can be prepared well in advance for reheating at the last moment.
Up to 3 days ahead: make veal stew and refrigerate.
Up to 1 day ahead: make soup, fry croutons and refrigerate. In the morning, make zucchini salad and refrigerate. Bake apple pie and store in airtight container.
One hour before serving: decorate zucchini salad with parsley and leave at room temperature. Set the table. Chill cold duck or beer, if serving.
30 minutes before serving: heat oven to 350 degrees; heat veal stew and turnip cake.
10 minutes before serving: bring soup to boil on top of stove and add cream. Reheat croutons in oven.
After serving soup: if serving apple pie hot, reheat it in oven. AUTUMN SOUP (10 servings)
Homemade stock, whether of veal or chicken, makes a great difference to this soup. If using frozen peas, add them to the soup 5 minutes before cooking ends.
White part of 4 leeks, thinly sliced
1/2 head ( 3/4 pound) romaine lettuce, shredded
1 1/2 cups uncooked green peas
Celery tops (for garnish)
8 slices white bread, crusts removed and diced
Wash and drain leek, celery and lettuce strips. Bring stock to a boil. Add leek, celery, lettuce strips, peas, sugar, and salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are tender, for 15 to 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
To make the croutons: in a frying pan heat butter and oil and fry bread, stirring constantly so croutons brown evenly. Drain thoroughly on paper towels. If preparing croutons ahead, wrap them in foil. Soup and croutons can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
To finish, reheat croutons in foil in a low oven. Bring soup just to boil on top of stove. Stir in cream, spoon into bowls and top each one with a celery sprig. SPICED VEAL STEW (10 servings)
Reminiscent of an Indian curry, this recipe is good made with lamb or beef as well as veal. Serve it with boiled rice.
1 cup beef or veal stock, more if needed
3 pounds boneless leg or shoulder of veal
Pinch saffron, soaked in 2 to 3 tablespoons boiling water
For thickening mixture: bake bread until very dry and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes, in a 300-degree oven. Grind bread into crumbs in a food processor or rotary cheese grater. Stir in wine, let stand 5 minutes until crumbs are soft, then stir in stock.
Cut veal in 1 1/2-inch cubes, discarding sinew but leaving a little fat. In a flameproof casserole, heat lard or oil and brown pieces of veal on all sides, a few at a time. Take out veal, add onions and brown them also. Replace veal, stir in bread mixture and bring to a boil.
In a small bowl mix ginger, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, saffron and its liquid, adding more water to make a soft paste. Stir paste into veal stew with salt and pepper. Cover and cook in a 325-degree oven until meat is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add more stock during cooking if pan gets dry.
Stir in lemon juice and vinegar and taste for seasoning, adding more spices, salt, pepper or lemon juice. Veal stew can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated, or frozen. For serving, reheat it on top of the stove or in a 350-degree oven. UPSIDEDOWN TURNIP CAKE (10 servings)
If you don't have a nonstick pan, make turnip cake in a baking dish, sprinkle the top with more cheese, dot it with butter, and serve as a gratin directly from the dish.
4 pounds white turnips, thickly sliced
Put turnips in a large pan of salted water, cover and boil until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Mix sugar, cinnamon, pepper, cloves and mace or nutmeg. Butter a 10-inch frying pan or skillet, preferably nonstick, and set a layer of turnip slices in bottom in a neat pattern. Sprinkle with some of the spice mixture, top with a layer of cheese, sprinkle the cheese with more of the spice mixture, then add another layer of turnips. Continue adding layers until all ingredients are used, ending with turnip. Cake can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator.
Bake cake in a 350-degree oven until very hot and cheese has melted, 30 to 35 minutes. (To test, insert a skewer in the middle and leave for 30 seconds. It should be hot to the touch when removed.)
Transfer skillet to top of stove and cook until butter smells toasted, showing cake is browned on bottom, about 5 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake and unmold onto a platter.
Note: Cake can be cooked up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated, in the pan. Reheat it in a 350-degree oven and turn out just before serving. ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH SAFFRON (10 servings)
Good as a cold appetizer, or as a vegetable accompaniment to meats.
3 pounds zucchini, cut in medium slices
2 slices white bread, crusts discarded
Large pinch of saffron infused in 1/4 cup boiling water
Season flour with salt and pepper, sprinkle over zucchini and toss in a bowl until well coated; discard excess flour. In a frying pan heat a few spoons of oil and fry some of the zucchini, turning so the slices brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Take out, spread in a shallow serving dish and fry remaining zucchini in same way.
To make the dressing, pure'e fennel seed, half the parsley sprigs, garlic, bread, vinegar, saffron and liquid, and oil in a food processor or blender. Spoon dressing over zucchini, cover tightly and store in refrigerator at least 6 and up to 24 hours so flavors blend. Let salad come to room temperature and decorate with remaining parsley sprigs before serving. MEDIEVAL APPLE PIE (10 servings)
Using grated apples, with dried fruits instead of sugar, this unusual pie tastes more of tart mincemeat than apple.
1 cup port or sweet white wine
Fry onion in butter until very soft but not brown. Peel apples, core and coarsely grate them. At once mix with onion, figs, raisins, wine, cinnamon, ginger and anise.
Sift flour and salt into a bowl. With a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut in butter and shortening until mixture forms large crumbs. Mix eggs with 1/2 cup water and stir into flour mixture to form a soft dough. If necessary, add more water. (Do not overmix or the dough will be tough.) Chill dough before rolling.
Roll out 2/3 pastry dough and line a 10-inch springform pan, overlapping edge of pan with dough. Spread filling in pastry and brush dough edges with some of the glaze. Roll remaining dough to a 10-inch round and cover apple mixture. Roll rolling pin over edge of pan to cut off excess dough. Flute dough edges to decorate and seal them together. Brush top of pie with more egg glaze. Roll out pastry trimmings and use to decorate pie with leaves, flowers, etc. Brush decorations with glaze and chill pie for 15 to 20 minutes.
Brush pie again with remaining glaze and bake in a 375-degree oven until brown and dough starts to shrink from sides of pan, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours. The pie can be baked up to 12 hours ahead and stored in an airtight container. Serve it at room temperature or reheat it in a low oven.

What it’s like to quit your job and start teaching at 58 | Daily Mail Online
Lucy Kellaway, 58, worked for the Financial Times for 32 years as a columnist
She realized two years ago that she was no longer enjoying her career
She now works as a trainee maths teacher at Mossbourne Community Academy
She is also the co-founder of Now Teach which helps others to become teachers
Lucy shared the challenges and rewards of her new career
By Lucy Kellaway For The Daily Mail
Published: 17:18 EST, 7 January 2018 | Updated: 20:57 EST, 7 January 2018
Usually I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but for 2018 I have solemnly resolved to change ten things.
Among them: to tolerate no fiddling with rulers. To issue detentions to anyone who has not done their homework. To make corrections in green pen. To carry 18 glue sticks around in a transparent bag.
Until last September, I cared nothing for rulers. Nor detentions. I was a pampered columnist on the Financial Times where, for 32 years, I had led a happy working life writing about whatever took my fancy.
Now at 58, I am a trainee maths teacher at Mossbourne Community Academy, a strict comprehensive school in Hackney, East London. I am also the co-founder of a charity called Now Teach, set up to encourage other people with successful careers to join the world’s most noble profession: teaching.
Lucy Kellaway (pictured), 58, shared her experience of quitting her career as a columnist to become a teacher
My life has been turned upside down and inside out. What’s it like, people always ask. I wish there was an easier way of telling them that it’s all of this (usually at the same time): exhausting, invigorating, relentless, stretching, humiliating and deeply satisfying.
It started this time two years ago, when it occurred to me I no longer loved what I was doing. My columns weren’t getting better, possibly worse; my youngest child had left home for university; my father, who I’d been caring for, had recently died and my mortgage was paid off.
I was nearing the age when a previous generation would have been sloping towards retirement. But why would I want to do that? Dad had lived until he was 90; it’s probable I’ll live longer still. I expect to be working well into my 70s.
For this last career, there were two things I wanted: the excitement and fear of starting all over again, and the feeling of being useful. As my mother was a much-loved English teacher and my daughter is an inspiring teacher of history, useful could mean only one thing for me: following them.
Revealed: The Christmas present Meghan Markle gave the Queen... Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'DENIED' their choice of...
So NOW, as I start a new term, and with my first (and possibly hardest) term behind me, how is it going?
The sobering truth is that, if what I wanted was fear and excitement, I have got it in almost unmanageable quantity. So much so that most mornings I am wide awake at 5am, my head so full of lesson plans and children’s faces I can’t remain asleep.
As for feeling useful? Not yet. Though towards the end of last term a child who had been steadfast in their refusal to see that subtracting a negative number was the same as adding a positive one, suddenly got it.
In 35 years in the workplace, I don’t think I have experienced such a professional high as when I saw the student’s page of correct sums.
Lucy co-founded Now Teach to help people of all ages begin a career in teaching
Back in the spring of 2016, as I was plotting my escape from journalism, it occurred to me that instead of being unusual, I was surely typical for a fiftysomething professional.
It is normal to feel restless after a couple of decades of doing the same thing. It is normal to want to do a job that means something.
Every time I opened a paper, I read about the growing shortage of teachers, especially in science, and while there is nothing to stop someone my age becoming a teacher, all the recruitment material showed smiling pictures of 22-year-olds.
If there is Teach First, the organisation that recruits raw graduates to work in schools, where is Teach Last?
So, on a hunch, I co-founded Now Teach, did a bit of publicity and sat back to see what happened. Nothing prepared me for the flood of applications.
per cent of full-time teachers are in their 50s
Within 24 hours of writing about my plans, 20,000 people visited the Now Teach website and more than 100 applications arrived.
In total, 1,000 people of a certain age expressed an interest and in September, 47 of us cast off our old lives and started again, learning on the job in classrooms in challenging secondary schools in London.
At our assessment centre, qualified trainers grilled us on subject knowledge tests. We gave lessons we had prepared, before being interviewed by the schools we’d been matched with.
Now we work four days a week, spending three-and-a-half days in school and a half-day in training, which is provided by various teacher training bodies including Ark, the educational charity.
Buoyed by success, this year we are recruiting twice as many adults in schools in London and Hastings.
And just this past fortnight, Teach First revealed it was shifting its focus to older trainees, encouraging more middle-aged professionals to change careers to improve schools.

When we launched, various people accused me of doing something immoral. I had no idea about what it was really like working as a teacher, and yet there I was, in my ignorance persuading others to join one of the toughest professions in the world without knowing a thing about it.
Now a term in, I admit it was an act of hubris on my part, but I’m not remotely repentant. Just before Christmas, the first Now Teach cohort gathered for a drink to celebrate surviving our first term. Everyone looked thinner, a bit tougher, but also — oddly — younger.
Maybe it’s about being surrounded by the young. Or maybe it’s what happens to you when you start learning all over again.
With lukewarm prosecco and a slice of pizza, we toasted surviving the first term and talked until closing time about the kids in school, behaviour, planning.
Being a columnist was about me. Being a teacher is not about me. It’s about the children.
Only three of the 47 so far have not made it, and even if a few more fall by the wayside, the others are bringing to schools an experience of the world and true dedication.
As we shared stories of assorted humiliations and triumphs, we were agreed on one thing: teaching is brutal. Even if you are in schools where behaviour is excellent and where there is no chance of a child throwing a paper aeroplane, let alone a chair at you, it is still hard. Possibly the hardest thing we’ve ever done.
It’s not that the hours are long — they are no longer than many other professional jobs.
It’s not even that as a teacher you lose all the autonomy you used to have in your old life.
Former colleagues and contacts frequently say to me: ‘Let’s have lunch. Which day is best for you?’ They struggle to understand my answer: ‘Teachers don’t do lunch.’
Lucy says the best and hardest thing about being a teacher is 'the teaching itself'
At best you have a polystyrene box of shepherd’s pie and cake and custard at your desk while you finish your marking.
I don’t mind that structure. I rather like the comforting way my days are ruled by bells just as the children’s are. I don’t mind being junior, either. I relish it. I used to have a fancy title that commanded respect. But there is a simplicity to being at the bottom of the pile. I am responsible for only my own learning.
As a trainee teacher I’m on about £20,000, so I’m dipping into savings, but not as much as I’d expected as I’m hardly spending any money — I have no time for shopping.
The problem isn’t my age either. I haven’t felt for one second that I don’t have the energy for my new vocation. It’s tiring for everyone, but the people who seem worst affected by it are not the fiftysomethings, it’s the teachers who have young children at home.
If the kids think it is extraordinary to be taught by someone with grey hair, they don’t say so. With my young colleagues age is also irrelevant. We all happily work and joke together, so much so that I started to tell myself they didn’t even notice I was three decades older than them.
That is until one of them brought me back down to earth by saying I reminded her of her grandmother.
The thing that is hardest, is also the thing that’s the best: the teaching itself.
Lucy claims she needs to improve her ability to see what each child is doing, as she believes the best teachers know when to explain themselves and when to let the children work
I used to be rather good at my job, but now I am at best OK, and at worst dismal. Teaching turns out to be a difficult, highly skilled job, and I’m naturally feeble because I’m a novice. If I were a trainee heart surgeon, I’d be pretty ropey after my first term, too.
I suppose I expected that because teaching runs in the family, I would be a natural. I had visited too many schools to be expecting to experience the real-life equivalent of Dead Poets Society — the film where Robin Williams’s teaching is so inspirational that it quickly transforms his students’ lives — but privately I expected to be good right away.
The truth is I’m not. In every lesson I make scores of mistakes, only in teacher training they aren’t called that. They are euphemistically called ‘even better ifs’ (EBIs). My EBIs are legion. I need to learn not to talk until I have 100 per cent attention and no one is fiddling with rulers. I need to talk less altogether.
I need to do something about chaotic beginnings and endings to lessons, where I have forgotten to hand out the homework sheets and failed to bring the glue sticks. I need to do less of the heavy lifting and get the children to do more of it.
I need to master the electronic whiteboard, which still defeats me. (In each of my first four lessons I amused the children by writing on it with a felt pen, rather than the electronic one.)
More fundamentally, I need to be better at seeing what every child is up to, who is listening, who understands and who doesn’t. The best teachers know when to explain themselves and when to let the children work.
My mentor, Mariam Rizvi, is a formidable maths teacher 25 years my junior who is as demanding of me as she is of her students.
Do I mind being told what to do by someone who is barely older than my children? Not at all. Age is irrelevant. I respect her experience so I do as she says.
She sits in on my classes and will send me emails that tell me in no uncertain terms just how many things I am getting wrong.
I don’t take them amiss. I’m finding that being a novice is easier now than last time I was a novice some 35 years ago. When I am handed a list at the end of a lesson of all the things I’ve done wrong, I sigh inwardly, but then set about trying to put them right.
I’m not sure where this new thick skin comes from. As a columnist, I would smart for ages if anyone presumed to hint my work was wanting in any way. Possibly I’ve grown-up, but I doubt it. I think it is something more fundamental.
And this is what saved me on the darkest days at the end of last term, when I had forgotten to turn up for the detentions I had set myself, and failed to grasp that my explanation of substitution in algebra had gone straight over the heads of half the students.
On those days I think about the kids. On my mantelpiece at home I have a card from a student saying: ‘You are the best maths teacher I’ve ever had.’ I’m sure some students butter up all their teachers in that way, but still I treasure it.
I know I have a long way to go. But even now, after a day of teaching, children mostly come away from lessons knowing something they did not know at the start. And it feels wonderful.
I am writing this on the last day of the holidays, and the prospect of tomorrow fills me with even more excitement and dread than I felt on my first day back in September.
This time, unlike last time, I know exactly what I’m letting myself in for.
I don’t know what will happen to me in 2018. But I do know two things. First, I will not be bored for one moment. Second, I know that however hard I continue to find it, I will be on my way to being useful.
And for that reason, for the first time in my life, I am going to keep my New Year’s resolutions.

Your table manners are a reflection of how you will be perceived. If you are confident, capable and correct at the table, then people are willing to believe that you will be capable and correct in other aspects of your life. If you are rude and/or ignorant at the table, they will attribute that to you, as well. Excellent table manners take training and practice. Like any skill, practice makes perfect.

In the American style of eating, after cutting your meat you switch the fork to your right hand from the left, put your knife down on the plate and then eat it.
Place knife on plate, diagonally, on upper right corner between cuttings. Don’t cut meat up all at once; preferably one bite at a time.
When you have paused in eating but have not finished, leave your fork and knife in this position. A trained waiter will know that you are signaling him not to remove your plate. Place your napkin in your seat or to the left of the plate.
When you leave your fork and knife on the side of the plate in this position (fork tines may be up or down), it signals the waiter that you are through eating and that your plate may be removed.
the napkin to the left of the plate. Wait for the hostess to do so first. If the plate has already been removed, put the napkin in the plate’s place.
are passed counterclockwise (to the person on your right). ► If someone on the far end asks for something to be passed, and you want some when it goes by you, it’s okay to help yourself as it goes by as long as you don’t get the last serving. ► If you’re a guest at a dinner party, it’s a good idea to wait until the hostess offers seconds.
dishes and pitchers with handles should be passed with handle toward person receiving it. ► Remember to say “please” and “thank you.” ► When passing your plate to the head of the table for seconds, leave the knife and fork on the plate, and be sure they are far enough on not to topple off.
you must leave before the others have finished, always say, “May I be excused, please?” Then say, “I enjoyed it” to the hostess. ► Contribute your share to polite conversation. (not illness, dental work, etc.)
something is in your mouth that you need to discard, whether it’s a bone, seed, or whatever; as inconspicuously as possible, spit it into your fork or fingers and quickly place it on the edge of your plate. Do not spit it into your napkin. ► If it happens to be a bug, or a hair, quietly discard it under the table. No need to ruin everyone else’s meal. You may use your napkin for a bug. If in a restaurant, notify the waiter.
you have a bite of chewed meat you can’t swallow; as inconspicuously as possible, remove the unconquered portion with your fingers and sneak it safely out of sight under a piece potato skin. ► You may use a piece of bread to push food onto your fork if you need to, or you may hold your knife in your left hand and use the knife to push the food onto the fork.
may mop up the last bit with bread, provided you do it with your fork; not your fingers. ► Bread should be pulled apart into moderate-sized pieces with your fingers. You may use your knife for biscuits or toast. Don’t butter rolls ahead, rather butter each piece and then eat it.
you have a bread and butter plate, keep your roll there. If not, keep it on the top left side of your plate. You can discreetly pick up crumbs and put on your plate. ► Soup – Dip spoon away from you. Eat from the side of the spoon. ► Spaghetti – Twirl with a fork. Don’t cut.
use toothpicks or pick your teeth with your fingers at the table. Go to the restroom if you can’t wait. ► Sit erect with your feet on the floor, not on the furniture.
► Never
sprawl your legs out far enough under the table to encroach upon the territory of others. ► Never blow your food to cool it. ► Never serve yourself with your own silver. ► No elbows on the table. ► Hands in lap when not eating. ► When eating, keep the hand you are not using in your lap.
not talk with food in your mouth. ► Chew with your lips closed. ► Don’t gesture with your silverware. ► Don’t tip chairs. ► Don’t meet your food halfway. Bring it up to your mouth. ► If you have a spill…
 In a home – say “I’m sorry.” Help, if needed.  In a restaurant – Call the waiter.
until you have swallowed your food to take a drink. ► Don’t encircle your plate with one arm while eating with the other. ► Don’t push back your plate when finished. Wait until it is removed or you clear it.

Wylie was clearly one of the greatest historians who has ever lived. This book, which is one part of a much larger work, The History Of Protestantism, gives the history of the oldest group of Christians, which in fact date back to the Apostles many believe, the Waldenses. Their history is one of faithfulness to Christ and opposition to Antichrist who, they as well as all other Protestants, believed rightly to be the Roman Pontiff (Pope). The greatest part of this book deals with the wicked apostate Roman Church attempting slaughter them and shows their success in persevering through the abominations of the crusades and inquisitions which were carried out against them by the wicked Papal armies. Foxe's Book Of Martyrs shows the murders carried out by the Papal Church and the way in which the Christians died during the dark reign of the Papacy. The History Of The Waldenses shows how Christians lived during this time under the stress of Papal persecution.

Thomas Hawker, the former chief executive, said that the loans helped keep the bank in business, providing needed cash as deposits dwindled. But he said that it was clear in retrospect that County Bank was dead on its feet the whole time, thanks to its once-lucrative focus on financing construction of new homes in the Central Valley of California.“I think in most cases it is a lifeline that kind of provides a bridge to survival,” said Mr. Hawker, who left the bank in 2008. “In the case here, Merced County was ground zero for everything that could possibly have gone wrong with the economy.”The discount window is a basic feature of the central bank’s original design, intended to mitigate bank runs and other cash squeezes. But access to it historically has been limited to healthy banks with short-term problems.Those limits moved from custom to law in 1991, when Congress formally restricted the Fed’s ability to help failing banks. A Congressional investigation found that more than 300 banks that failed between 1985 and 1991 owed money to the Fed at the time of their failure. Critics said the Fed’s lending had increased the cost of those failures.The central bank was chastened for a generation but in 2007, facing a new banking crisis, the Fed once again started to broaden access to the discount window. It reduced the cost of borrowing and started offering loans for longer terms of up to 30 days.More than one thousand banks have taken advantage. A review of federal data, including records the Fed released last week, shows that at least 111 of those banks subsequently failed. Eight owed the Fed money on the day they failed, including Washington Mutual, the largest failed bank in American history.The Fed has said that it complied fully with the law in all of its emergency loans, and that its actions, including lending from the discount window, were intended to limit the impact of the crisis.Charles Calomiris, a finance professor at Columbia University who has studied discount window lending during previous crises, said the Fed had not released enough information for the public to determine whether some of the recipients were propped up inappropriately and should have been allowed to fail more quickly.
“Do we know whether the Fed did that? No, we don’t,” he said. “But the Fed has become more politicized than at any point in its history, and I do worry very much that a lot of Fed discount window lending may just be part of a political calculation.”In some cases the Fed’s lending had clear benefits, whether or not the loans meant going beyond the mandate.The F.D.I.C. almost always seizes banks on Friday evenings, so the new owners have two days before reopening. In some cases the Fed kept banks alive until the next Friday. The Bank of Clark County in Vancouver, Wash., took its first discount window loan on Monday, Jan. 12, 2009. It borrowed $8 million Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, then $14 million on Thursday and Friday. Then the F.D.I.C. closed its doors.In other cases, the Fed stopped lending to banks as the extent of their financial problems became clear. Alton Gilbert, a former official at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis who wrote a widely cited study of the Fed’s discount window lending in the 1980s, said that few banks failed with Fed loans on their books during the recent crisis. The central bank often suspended lending several months before they failed.Still, some experts said additional scrutiny was warranted for a subset of banks that received sustained support even though they faced clear problems.The most frequent visitors at the window were three subsidiaries of FBOP, a bank holding company based in Oak Park, Ill.Park National Bank in Chicago borrowed regularly from April 2008 until the day of its failure in October 2009, taking 129 loans in amounts that peaked at $345 million — the longest period of sustained support for any bank that failed during the crisis. Park used some of the money to finance the acquisition of assets from other banks, expanding its own balance sheet and potentially increasing the cost of its eventual failure. Bloomberg News first reported the details of the Fed’s discount window lending to the company.Two other failed banks owned by FBOP also took more than 100 loans from the discount window, California National Bank of Los Angeles and Pacific National Bank of San Francisco, although both stopped borrowing several months before failing.Marvin Goodfriend, a professor of economics at Carnegie Mellon University, said that such lending placed the Fed in the inappropriate position of deciding the fate of individual banks, choices that he said should be made by elected officials.

The world's most luxurious suites on cruise ships | Fox News
The world's most luxurious suites on cruise ships
By Andrea Rotondo | Architectural Digest
Cruise ships have come a long way since the early days of cramped staterooms dressed in staid colors. Now, top architects and designers vie for the opportunity to design the suites aboard luxury vessels.
Spanning thousands of square feet—and costing thousands per night—these posh pied-à-terre-style digs often include floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, en suite saunas or private spa treatment rooms, whirlpool tubs in the master bath (and sometimes on the veranda), and spacious living areas that are perfect for entertaining. Upholstery accents throughout may range from cashmere to crocodile, and it’s not uncommon for works by world-class artists to grace the walls.
Plus, the perks that may come with these top-notch suites are compelling: 24/7 butler service, priority embarkation, VIP access to the ship’s restaurants and entertainment, and entrance to private areas for suite passengers only. Take a look at the most beautiful cruise ship suites sailing the world’s oceans today.
1. Oceania Marina and Riviera Owner’s Suite
(Courtesy of Oceania)
The Owner’s Suite is the first accommodation at sea to be appointed throughout with furnishings, fabrics, lighting, and accessories from Ralph Lauren’s Home Collection. Designer Susan Bednar Long styled the 2,000-square-foot space that spans the full beam of the ship. The dramatic foyer features a black-and-white mosaic tile floor, a piano, and a mahogany bar with burnished silver stools covered in white crocodile. Enter the bedroom and you’ll find walls of Austyn cashmere and a Bel Air bed with a headboard upholstered in steel-blue mohair, while the dining room is decorated with a Mayfair-style table and caramel leather Clivedon chairs. From $11,499 per person for a seven-night cruise; oceaniacruises.com
2. Viking Sea’s Owner’s Suite
(Eric Laignel/Courtesy of Viking Ocean Cruises)
Designed by Rottet Studio and SMC Design as a personal retreat for Viking chairman Torstein Hagen, who collaborated with the team on the space, this 1,448-square-foot space exudes a warm Scandinavian vibe. Amenities include a sauna with an ocean view, an original oil canvas by Norwegian artist Jakob Weidemann, a conference room, and a high-tech touchpad that controls the lighting, television, and music. The sleekness of the suite comes from teak paneling and flooring, lacquered cabinets, and nail-studded leather upholstery. Don’t miss the heated floors in the master bath. From $17,549 per person for an eight-day cruise; vikingcruises.com
3. Regent Seven Seas Explorer’s Regent Suite
(Courtesy of Regent)
The two-bedroom, 3,875-square-foot Regent Suite has standout features such as floor-to-ceiling windows in the master bedroom, an immense living area with a custom-made Steinway Arabesque piano designed by Dakota Jackson, and a private spa treatment room with dual ceramic heated loungers (guests receive unlimited complimentary services here). This top suite is accented with marble, exotic woods, and a glass-enclosed Vista Garden at the bow that allows for a 270-degree view of the horizon. From $29,999 per person for a seven-night cruise; rssc.com
4. Crystal Serenity’s Crystal Penthouse
Toronto’s II by IV Design guided the development of the refined yet comfortable Crystal Penthouse, which reflects the style and sensibility of the posh hotels that line New York’s Fifth Avenue. Bathed in a palette of creams, grays, and soft browns accented by aubergine, gold, and light turquoise, the design elements herein are stunners. Look for the Swarovski sconces in the entryway and cut-crystal vessel sinks and heated floors in the master bath. Furniture is by Morgan. From $12,730 per person for a five-night cruise; crystalcruises.com
5. Celebrity Reflection’s Reflection Suite
(Michel Verdure/Courtesy of Celebrity)
The 1,800-square-foot Reflection Suite designed by New York’s BG Studio has an incredible glass-enclosed shower that is cantilevered over the sea. Staying in the only two-bedroom suite in Celebrity’s fleet has its privileges, including a personal butler plus access to Luminae VIP restaurant and Michael’s Club lounge (both exclusively for suite passengers). From $10,999 per person for a seven-night cruise; celebritycruises.com
