Description of the book "Graceful Exits: How Great Beings Die":Death is a subject obscured by fear and denial. When we do think of dying, we are more often concerned with how to avoid the pain and suffering that may accompany our death than we are with really confronting the meaning of death and how to approach it. Sushila Blackman places death--and life--in a truer perspective, by telling us of others who have left this world with dignity. "Graceful Exits " offers valuable guidance in the form of 108 stories recounting the ways in which Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, and Zen masters, both ancient and modern, have confronted their own deaths PDF. By directly presenting the grace, clarity, and even humor with which great spiritual teachers have met the end of their days, Blackman provides inspiration and nourishment to anyone truly concerned with the fundamental issues of life and death.

Welcome to OPA (NI)
The Oesophageal Patients Association is a National Registered Charity and was formed in 1985 when a few survivors of oesophageal cancer met and found tremendous reassurance in sharing experiences. The members of the Association are all patients who have experienced such difficulties. We have prepared leaflets on the problems, which we can talk about at first hand and we understand the fears that can be generated, the pains that can be suffered, and the effects on the digestive system that can be experienced. Patients who have had their stomachs removed (gastrectomy) will also find our leaflets helpful as they experience very similar effects
Charity Number: 1062461

Unique Villas - uniquevillas.gr purchased this villa in 2011
Rates are for 4 persons. Every extra person 30 Euro per night. July and August - 35 Euro per night.
In april 2015 my wife and I and two of our friends stayed in one of the beautiful Danae villa's. We loved the house, the pool, the view, the host and his lovely daughter. Combined with the mild springtime weather, we look back on a splendid vacation.
De eigenaar woont naast de 3 villa's. Hij ontving ons keurig en heeft ons zelfs even naar de supermarkt op en neer gereden, zodat we de 1e dag meteen van alles waren voorzien. Alle kamers zijn keurig en ruim. Beide kamers op de verdieping hebben een eigen balkon en een gedeelde badkamer. Beneden is de 3e (grote) slaapkamer, met direct ernaast een grote badkamer. De keuken en woonkamer zijn tevens ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Ontzettend mooi uitzicht vanaf de tuin/terras. Met een groot zwembad a 12,5 meter, een pooltafel, een buitendouche, tafeltennistafel, ligbedden eettafel en stoelen, grill, hoef je bijna niet de deur uit om een heerlijke vakantie te genieten.
Dagelijks maakt de eigenaar de zwembaden schoon en 2x per week wordt alles schoongemaakt in en rondom huis.
De villa's bevinden zich halverwege en direct boven (300meter een steile helping beklimmen/afdalen) het mooie plaatsje koutouloufari.
Een aanrader!
Koutouloufari is a small village located at the root of Mount Harakas, 26km east of the city of Heraklion. Having maintained a traditional and peaceful character throughout the years of rapid touristy development in the surrounding region and at a close distance from sites of archaeological, historical, cultural and athletic interest, Koutouloufari is the ideal destination for those who seek an alternative vacation plan.
Limani Hersonissou (the Greek words for Port of Hersonissos) is a seaside town 25km east from the city of Heraklion. Limani Hersonissou served as an important seaport and commercial center from the Ancient on to the Roman and Byzantine Times. The contemporary town stands over the ruins of ancient Hersonissos and is a cosmopolitan touristic destination, famous for the sandy beaches and vivid night life.
Heraklion is the largest city and capital of the island of Crete. For centuries the city was known as Candia, an adaptation of the Greek name "Χάνδαξ" (pronounced Chándax, the Greek word for "moat"), which was used to describe a big moat constructed around the city by the Arab occupators in the 9th century AD. Nowadays, Heraklion is considered one of the most important commercial and touristic centres of Greece.

YAY! Margaret Cho Reality Show!
I got the G-shot as part of my new VH1 show, "The Cho Show," which I am filming right now and it is so fucking awesome you are going to just scream when you see it – I am so excited! Anyway, the G-Shot is an injection of collagen into your G-Spot that is supposed to enhance any kind of stimulation there. It is for women who have limited sensation in their vagina, which is me. My puss is more clitoral than vaginal. I am more into the outside than the inside. I am more about display than content. Whenever I go to a party, I tend to hang out on the steps rather than in the house and I never go into the backyard. And to keep the party analogy going, I don't even have a G-Spot, per say, one place where the party is all centered, but there are lots of smaller events happening all over the area. Mine isn't a G-Spot. More like a G-Block Party. My pussy is a lot like Coachella. There are a lot of bands hanging around waiting to play. - Read the rest @ ONTDFabulous news, VH1's doing a Margaret Cho show woohoo. Cho just published a blog on myspace about it. Myspace promptly pulled its blog service due to this overwhelming demand for Cho service. (Seriously though, lot of downtime over there these days right?)

Sam Woollard: the Power of Participation
Giving News
As someone who works with charitable giving every day, Sam Woollard of Austin knows the power of small gifts.
"One of the things I know from having worked with nonprofits is that small gifts oftentimes can be more flexible" because they're less likely to have strings attached, she said. That makes it possible to address unexpected needs and opportunities as they arise.
And "many small gifts build up to be a large gift," Woollard said.
Woollard knows what she's talking about. The 1988 social work graduate is a principal in Successful Giving, a consulting firm that brings businesses and nonprofit organizations together to realize their philanthropic goals.
Woollard does more than just talk about giving. She has given to UT every year during the Campaign for Texas. She believes in giving consistently.
"It's difficult for organizations to rely on funding if it's intermittent," she said. "If there's some regularity then it helps them to know how to build their budgets."

Builders need 9,500 cups of tea to build a three- bedroom house!November 26th, 2007 - 6:55 pm ICT by admin
London, Nov 26 (ANI): A new research has claimed that builders need about 9,500 cups of tea to construct the average three- bedroom house.
According to the research, Britains builders go through more than three million cuppas every day, taking an average of four breaks, reports The Sun.
In a poll of 100 building firms, three quarters reported taking regular tea breaks make them more productive at work.
For seven out of ten builders, the drink has relaxing and stress-relieving properties, while 80 per cent say it helps them bond with fellow workers.
It was also found that just eight per cent of builders choose coffee over tea. (ANI)

Some Great Benefits Of Serviced Spaces For Businesses
Renting a space to carry out the daily business operations can be expensive, and you will have to spend when it comes to furnishing, office equipment and to create a professional environment. Additionally, if your business does not go as planned, it can be difficult to get out of a lease or contract that has been signed. While serviced spaces might be more expensive, you will also get the facilities, equipment and other important things that are necessary when it comes to running a business. Of course, each company offering these types of services will offer different packages and services – and you can make selections based on what you need.
Find Out About Better Locations
Any business needs to find the right location that will benefit their operations. Long-term options will need to be carefully selected – preferably in an area where your business will be successful and it should not cost you heavily. But when changing locations with flexible leases from different areas, you have the freedom to experiment. This means that you can find out which areas in your city are more beneficial to your business and which ones you should avoid.
Facilities And Services
Another benefit of a serviced office Hong Kong over long-term options is that there won't be extra expenditure when it comes to setting up communication systems, equipment or maintenance. It won't be necessary setup a kitchen and lunch areas, or even meeting rooms with equipment when everything you need is provided. The provision of facilities and services will help the business when it comes to budgeting and avoiding hidden costs. Facilities will also include regular cleaning and maintenance – so avoid spending on janitorial services here.
Less Downtime After Moving
Moving into a new place will require a certain amount of downtime to set up the professional environment – which can affect the business negatively if not handled in a responsible or organised manner. Downtime will require certain changes or even postpone meetings – or dealing with clients. However, when moving into a serviced office, it won't be necessary to set up anything and time can be spent on organsing business matters instead.
More Flexibility
Rather than being stagnant in just one location, you can sign a lease for as short as a month – which can be ideal for freelancers or start-ups who are still figuring things out. Businesses that are dealing with constant changes can experience more flexibility when it comes to the lease. A fixed location will have over-head and utility costs – but a flexible lease will be easier to handle.

Federal government offices in Gatineau to remain closed Tuesday because of floods
Federal government offices in Gatineau will remain closed Tuesday and public service workers who normally travel across interprovincial bridges are being asked to stay at home as the region continues to deal with record flooding.
The Treasury Board Secretariat said the Government of Canada is continuing to advise its employees not to travel to their offices on Tuesday, May 9 if they normally travel to their offices via the interprovincial bridges or work in federal buildings in Gatineau, as those buildings will remain closed.
It is the second straight day that federal employees have been directed to stay home.
"With the flood situation in many regions of Ontario and Quebec, the top priority is the safety and security of employees and those in the affected communities," said the Treasury Board. "The Government of Canada, through the Government Operations Centre, continues to monitor and assess the national flooding situation carefully as it continues to evolve."
The government said further updates would be provided as needed.
Anyone affected by these measures who may require immediate service can contact 1-800-OCANADA (1-800-622-6232).

I feel just awful not getting this up much sooner. With the excitement of being a new wife, getting back to the groove of things has not been so easy. Back from vacation/wedding/viva las vegas weekend, there is only one word....EXHAUSTION...It must be true that they pump the casinos full of rich oxygen, I slept only 4 hours each night. I felt refreshed and revived by the warm desert sun and the excitement of a new day with a town full of possibilities! When we got home, we crashed.
The flight itself was uneventful except for the extreme vertigo I felt for four days after landing. it has bnever happened to me before in all my flying. Peter felt it too. We would stand and immediatly feel like the ground under our feet was moving. I really think they may have messed up the oxygen in our plane (too little) i thought it was the rapture of a new place, getting married and the show....We braved it out and eventually it did go away. The winds here upon landing were gusting up and just as we were to touch on the tarmack the plane veered and teetered hard to the right. I was white knuckling it. I thought we were going into a deathroll. I never had that happen before. you could feel the plane pulling so hard but whatever the pilot did we were just fine. They don't pay those pilots enough in my book. The flight attendants, sorry, thats another story. I only met 2 in all my flying (trip to Barcelona) that were kind, sweet, and helpful. That may be because of what they encounter on flights on a regular basis, but we are so easy...
When we were ready to take off I took Petes jacket and put it behind me and closed my eyes, ready to get a catnap, The attendant comes over and RIPS the jacket from under my head and screams, " There should be nothing over these seats!" It was not over the seat it was behind my head. We both looked at her like she was a crazy person ie: POWER TRIP. She ran away so quickly as soon as she realized she was wrong, we did not have time to react...the 2 of us are just looking at each other wondering what the fuck just happened.
Prior to this, I suggested we wear masks on the flight in order not to get the slightest of a cold/germs from other passengers. We sat at the boarding gate masks on , ready to go. An attendant approached us and in a loud voice proceeded to start a quibble with us over the masks. "What are you wearing that for ?" before we had a chance to reply, "When you board, they are gonna ask you, why you are wearing THOSE THINGS". Now, if we were of the asian persuasion, no one would have EVER asked us this. They are the smart ones and we were trying to follow suit. we looked at each other again and we responded that we were trying to prevent our holiday from disaster. She looked at us like we had to heads. When she walked away pete said we should have told her we had TB! (when we boarded NO ONE asked us about the masks) Oh, this is US Airways we are talking about, BTW...
We stayed at the Stratosphere, http://www.stratospherehotel.com/ close to the Little Chapel of the Flowers so we could be close to the wedding. Our reception was in a private dining room in the clouds at TOP OF THE WORLD RESTURANT http://www.stratospherehotel.com/Tower/Dining/Top-of-the-world in the Strat. The Strat is also closest to the Clark County Marriage License Center, Fremont Street http://www.vegasexperience.com/, and the World Famous as seen on TV Gold and Silver (Pawn Stars) http://www.history.com/shows/pawn-stars The bus system there is very easy to master and we used it frequently to get around. http://www.rtcsouthernnevada.com/ This was after one day, our first, spending 160.00 on cab fare to get to the chapel, licence center, Fat Burger (which was our first official stop after we checked in) and the Orleans for the show. Can prices here are above ridiculous in my book. We frequent NYC often and comparably, NYC is about 1/3 of the price to get a cab. Cabbies in Vegas are nice, helpful, and interesting, so it was not bad company on our pricy rides about town. (they also suggest a 15% tip on top of the cab fare, which we DID NOT do)
Our First order of business upon landing was FAT BURGER http://www.fatburger.com/home/ We met our friends Erin and Rosie who flew in the day before. I ordered an animal style burger (onions special sauce cheese ketchup mustard) By the second bite i was hooked. Coming from the east coast where we do not have the franchise, it was a good experience. Who can say no to fresh cut fries?
From there we hopped a cab to the Clark County municipal for our marriage license, easy and simple. The fast food of licences. They have a long counter with a 10 inch stack of forms and a boxful of pencils. It was funny, I was thinking that Britney Spears was at this same counter filling this out, why I was thinking about her is beyound me but she sprung to mind...kinda neat...The line moved quick and they did not even ask us for our decrees, just drivers license, forms, and cash. It took from start to finish , less than 15 minutes! On the way up we passed Gold and Silver and thought we would walk back from the licence center to take a peek. Nothing much to see on the way back. Your in downtown and some residential as you walk, a few no descript hotels, lots of for sale, for rent.
We walked the few blocks and there was no line but many people milling about the shop in and out. As you walk in you see its a bit bigger than on TV and I have never seen their merch (t-shirts, hats, mugs, you name it) featured on TV. Some of the items were fun and unusual, prices very high...Lots of lookers, some of the jewelry was insanely unique. None of the guys were there at the time but they were filming some "filler". I had a white hat on with a black ribbon, so maybe you'll see me? We did not take photos of the inside but snapped some of Pedro standing outside...
We went back uptown to meet with Erin and Rosie and take in some of the sites. We visited many hotels that had decorated for the easter weekend. Tulips for miles, indoor greenhouses replete with monarch butterflies. Our Favorite was the Cosmopolitian. It was upbeat, urban, chic, modern.
Got a frantic call the day before the wedding from the chapel florist...I wanted a succulent bouquet and the chapel florist called and we went to have a look. The succulents were not petite and the monster bouquet weighed about 10 pounds! We scaled it back (a ton) and added some roses, not what I wanted, but lovely all the same! In the morning we got up and wait straight to the pool at the Strat 8 floors up it has a lovely view of th mountains, mw in my curlers, had a light lunch and took in the sunshine! Billy Idols, WHITE WEDDING played on the pools intercom, It was gonna be a very good day.
Later on, before we were to be picked up at the hotel by the chapels limo service, we ordered in Champagne tuxedo strawberries fruit and cheese. Erin stopped by to make sure we had everything under control. We were more than ready and enjoying our little celebration.The rest of our friends met us at the chapel...
The minister who married us was so jolly and fun, he made it such a joyous event.We met with him briefly and talked a little bit, he put as so at ease, no nerves for either one of us, just a buzzing excitement.
The Wedding at Chapel of the Flowers was fantastic. http://www.littlechapel.com/ Their staff, location, and treatment were top notch. They changed their site recently and it really looks great. Before in our planning stages, we were really going on site unseen, as they did not have good photos of the chapel we wanted to be married in, and the photography shown was really not all that great. Being the #1 place to get married in Vegas, I am so glad they tweeked their site, it shows their quality now. I was really concerned about the photographer, since the pics on the site were not all that great, we just crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. From what we experienced, our Photog Joe was fun, cool, and had a great eye for capturing our personalities. We were extremely pleased. Here are some photos of us taken at the chapel, pretty good, huh? Candid and posed....
We had a very small group at our wedding...My dear friend Erin which I have known for a lifetime was our witness, Jaime Constantine a super Jessica Rabbit 'billy gal pal of mine and her sweet man Shawn and Petes funloving boss Stewart and his lovely wife Dearest (yes she has the coolest name) This was all we needed to make a party!
We had the great pleasure of a fun musician ukulele extrodinaire Vincent Cortese and his devoted wife Pat attend and play for the ceremony (no canned music for us) He was so good and fun, he played the tiniest soprano uke (a Martin) and he was just brilliant, it made for a perfect mood, a happy one!
No one thought to record him at dinner when he played we are all too busy sipping Cosmos (ladies) and who knows what the men were drinking. We do have our wedding video, which was included in the wedding package. We refuse to watch it. In one year we will...
So after the ceremony and some pics, we hoped in a limo and went right to dinner in the Renasaince room a private dining room in the Strat. We had a small security screening before going up, no biggie...The elevator was a trip so smooth! The operator was a scream, he joked and laughed with all of us. Upon arriving at our floor, it was so peculiar. We were in a round room with five doors surrounding us. It was like Alice In Wonderland! Someone called to us in part of it and we saw a hand flash to us that led the way to our suite dining.
It was beyond perfect with subdued lighting and high end decor. The food and presentation was one of the best I ever had. Five courses all paired with complimentary wines. Our host, Herman was so attentive and charming. he was originally from Alaska, but did not ask how he ended up here in the middle of the desert. We laughed and spoke of Vegas the sights the sounds, the guests who did not know each other before coming here, made very fast friends, it was a wonderful intimate setting and I would not have changed for the world. We were able to be present for everyone. (try to do that with even 50 people)
The funny thing about our room Herman told us right away that we should not be alarmed when we see people falling outside the window, (it was the sky jump above us) We noticed it right away at cocktail hour and amazing to sit in the middle of dinner and see this, with the strip beyond...
After dinner we proceeded to go to the very top to the scenic outlook at the very top of the building. (this is where the 3 rides are) There is a club on top too and is round so we ambled around and to the outside, VERY WINDY! We did not last long, but it was a neat thing to do. They had a picture booth that pete and I hopped in and Dearest bought our quick session of candids, she snuck in to one of the shops and got us a licence plate JUST WED, that gal is so thoughtful and fun. We went downstairs and parted ways bidding everyone a happy time in Vegas. more adventures for us and we were now headed to the VLV Rockabilly Weekender at the Orleans with Jamie and Shawn...
AltF Photography..... http://www.altf.com/
We were really not sure how the wedding photography was going to be and I wanted, needed, to do something special to mark our time in Vegas. I had found this talented duo of John Micheal and Dalisa Cooper a year ago, had them bookedmarked as an "wish" to work with them. I already had a photographer in mind that would be in Vegas.
To make a long story short, my photog bowed out and 2 months before the wedding I make a frantic call to ALTF. Things happen for a reason, no doubt and I have no regrets. The work is simply amazing. I learned he was the originator of the whole "Trash that Dress" He has an amazing blog as well and the pics are the best I have seen in the wedding genre... http://www.earth13.com/
This photog is a MUST HAVE for any special occassion. Right now he is doing anti portraits and I cannot wait to see... I wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary and they were so happy to play along, just take a look, he captured my strip poker idea beautifully! The one regret is that we do not live in and around the Vegas area, I think we would be fast friends!
Well I am suppossed to report on the VLV show as well and have tons of pics and stories but it will have to wait till next blog. I am in the process of raising little Barred Rock Chicks, gardening, doing the vintage thing, going to shows and pouring wine, there is not enough time in the day so look for part 2 very soon!

West Residence | Raining | 5am
I threw the book across the attic, raking my fingernails through my hair. I respected books, but the frustration I was experiencing had gone beyond respect. I was still no closer to understanding what any of it meant. I grabbed another one, pulling it open so hard the spine creased and flipping manically through the pages. Symbols, words in unknown languages and codes.. what did it mean?! What did any of it mean?!
I let the book fall back down into the pile and sank down next to it, glaring with intensity. I felt like such a failure. Wasn't I intelligent, genius, more advanced than anyone I'd possible met in my lifetime? And yet none of that was helping me. Even branching out to other mediums, to Sebastien, yielded no results. The way my grandfather had recorded and written was not a way known to mediums, but obviously some independent, unique code. It was frustrating beyond belief, and at the same time so alluring. The lengths he'd gone to in order to keep these secrets.. the spells, or diary entries, experiences or whatever the books strewn before me contained had to be so precious. So precious and so powerful, for so much effort to be put into keeping them safe. Had my grandfather unlocked necromancy powers, been a man before his time? Was it a power greater even than that? I had known my grandfather was a powerful medium but beyond that... it felt like I'd hardly known him at all.
I picked up the book again, holding it more carefully in my hands. The page fell open to a symbol, sketched and with seemingly nonsensical words littered around it. It was a page I'd seen before, and I knew the symbol. It was a detailed, illustrative quincunx. I knew the shape had symbolism in alchemy among other areas, but that didn't help with the mystery of what it meant in the book, or what any of the scrawl around it was recording. It could just be a pretty picture to go with a spell or idea, for all I knew. The books were full of them. The more I looked into the meaning of some of the symbols, the more meanings from different cultures I found out they had. How was I meant to know which meaning my grandfather had given it? It was impossible. Other symbols were edited, personalized, or combined with others to form bastard new symbols. Whatever reason my grandfather had to make these notes and then hide them so well, it had to be a good one. And I felt certain that something within had to pertain to his death.. to the likely treachery of the vile vampires that had caused it. They would pay.. for the first time in their existence, with their own blood.
I placed the book down, and then set to tidying them back within the trunk I'd originally found them in. I felt like I needed a mental break, or to focus my efforts on something else for awhile. I closed the trunk, locked it, and headed to my room for a change of clothes. I'd finally realised how important physical appearance, and strength, would be in my journey to avenge my grandfather and was forcing myself to train. I wasn't going to let him down due to some idiot overpowering me. I was determined not to let him down at all.

The bankruptcy estate can be created voluntarily or involuntarily, and consists of all the property of the bankrupt spouse. This includes property in the State of Michigan and outside the state. While a bankruptcy action is ongoing, the Michigan family court's ability to take action against property is automatically halted and paused; this is called a "stay". For bankruptcy purposes, property is defined as interests in property, proceeds of estate property, funds contributed to certain educational plans, undivided co-ownership interests, and inheritances, property settlements and life insurance policies if the bankrupt party is entitled to their receipt within 180 days of the bankruptcy petition.
Either party of a Michigan divorce may file a motion with the bankruptcy court to seek abstention of the bankruptcy court and/or relief from the automatic stay. If the bankruptcy court does not agree, and the Michigan divorce court takes action, those actions could be void.
There are certain things that are exempted from a bankruptcy proceeding. The following is not meant to be an exhaustive list; please prefer to the U.S. Bankruptcy code for further detail.
- Home value up to a certain value
- Motor vehicle up to a certain value
- Household furnishing up to a certain value
- Jewelry up to a certain value
- Tools used for your work trade up to a certain value
- Certain life insurance contracts
- Right to receive social security, veterans, disability, alimony or support and payment under certain financial instruments like bonds, stock etc
- Right to receive restitution as a victim of a crime, wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits
The State of Michigan had additional exempted property for a Michigan divorce.
If my spouse files Bankruptcy in a Michigan case, can he/she avoid paying child and spousal support?
No, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides that certain debts/obligations are not dischargeable in bankruptcy court. This means that a Michigan court will be able to order support payments to the other spouse.
One of the obligations that are not dis-chargeable are domestic support obligations. A domestic support obligation in Michigan would be alimony, maintenance or support, and this support can be payable to a spouse, former spouse or a child. One of the most important things about a domestic support obligation it is is granted priority of payment, which means it's paid before the creditors of the spouse that filed for bankruptcy. These domestic support obligations are subject to modification in a Michigan.

Suppose you're working on a silk painting of a large flower and you want it to be orange. You don't have "The" orange in your stash of colors, so you decide to mix up a nice shade. You pour a little yellow and a little magenta dye into a cup. It's a little too yellow; add some more magenta. Now it's perfect! You begin painting your flower and, uh-oh, you're running out of orange. Now, how do you re-create that exact color so you can finish your painting? If you have extra orange left over, do you throw it out or save it to possibly use in a future painting? How do you remember exactly what shade of orange it is, and how do you keep track of it?
Here's another one: You love the dolphin color you made in one of your past silk paintings, and now you want to do another dolphin painting. How did you make that color back then? No idea? Now you have to experiment again until you find a formula you like. Wouldn't you rather be doing the fun part… painting??
When it comes to creating and saving dye colors, you should get in the habit of taking a few simple steps that will save you time and dye in the long run. There are several methods of doing this, but I've found the steps listed here to be the simplest way to keep colors recorded and organized.
Here we go:
Designate a small notebook for your silk painting notes. Keep it next to you while you paint. Title and date each painting and make notes on what you did and how you did it. Write down what colors you used for which objects, what techniques you used, special notes, and anything else you can think of. Take a photograph of every painting so you'll have a complete record of what you've done.
Always have a scrap of silk taped to the edge of your work table. This will be your color tester. The silk should hang free so the wet test colors don't touch your work surface. You could also clip the color tester silk into a small silk painting frame, but taping it to the the table is simpler and saves space. It's up to you.
Keep a watercolor palette (or plastic ice cube tray) and an eyedropper close by as you work. When you want to create a new color, use the eyedropper to take up dyes. Count the number of drops as you drip the dyes into a palette well for mixing. If you made a new orange color and used 3 drops of yellow and 1 drop of magenta, you know your color is 3 parts yellow and 1 part magenta (record it as 3 yel. + 1 mag.).
Take up all of the new color with a brush and paint it in a small blob shape onto the color tester silk (make sure the brush bristles have been soaked in water for a few minutes and dried off). It should spread into at least a 3-inch circle. Let it dry for a couple of minutes and write the color formula next to it on the silk using a fine point permanent marker. Make sure you use permanent marker so it won't run and fade out in the steamer. Label this color with your formula even if you don't like it; it might be perfect in a future painting for something else. Continue to use this same piece of color tester silk indefinitely until you fill it with color samples; you can steam it along with some paintings when it gets full.
If you like one of your color experiments and want to make a batch of that new color, use a graduated eyedropper or syringe to measure it into a small cup or jar with a lid. Your 3 drops yellow + 1 drop magenta would translate to 3 ml. (or 1/4 teaspoons, whatever your eyedropper shows) of yellow and 1 ml. of magenta dye put into the cup. If you think you'll need a larger amount, double the formula to 6 yellow + 2 magenta. Since you have the exact measurements, you can make this same color any time you need more.
Put a small piece of masking tape on the jar and the lid. Write your formula on both pieces of tape (3 yel. + 1 mag.) using the fine point permanent marker. That way, you can see your color from the top as well as the side of the jar.
When the color tester silk has been steamed, rinsed, and ironed, you'll want to save your new colors individually onto index cards that can be kept in a small file box (like a recipe box). Here's the most efficient way I've found to do this:
Place a strip of wide masking tape (my tape is 2 inches wide) onto a fabric cutting board; line it up straight along the inch marks. With a fabric cutting wheel, cut across the tape so that it cuts into 2 1/2 inch long pieces. I have a designated fabric cutting wheel just for cutting tape. That way, I don't have to keep replacing blades when I need a sharp one for fabric.
Using a fabric cutting ruler for a straight edge, cut the tape the long way into four pieces (each little piece of tape is now 2 1/2 inches by 1/2 inch). You could also buy 1/4 inch masking tape and skip this tape-cutting step. I use the 2-inch wide tape because I have so much of it on hand (I also use it for steaming silk and lots of other things around the studio).
Now cut a 2-inch square of color from your color tester silk using a fabric cutting wheel. I've found if you cut these color squares too small, it's not as easy to see the colors accurately. Two to two-and-a-half inches seems to be the largest size that will fit on the card, which is about right.
Next, tape the swatch to an index card with the 2 1/2 inch pieces of masking tape you cut. Leave as much color showing as you can.
Now label your card with the dye brand, the date (month/year), and the name of the color or the formula. You should make a card swatch of each of the colors you buy as well as the ones you mix.
In your color box, you should have a section for each color family. I have a divider for each of the following: Reds, Oranges, Yellows, Greens, Blues, Purples, Browns/Blacks/Grays, and Miscellaneous Notes.
You will love your color box! You can use it to see what colors look best together when choosing color groups for paintings. You'll be able to see what your colors will look like after they've been steamed, so you can get an idea ahead of time what will look best for what you need. You'll be able to re-create the colors you love best. You can keep special notes on the backs of the cards, like "great skin tone" or "perfect blue sky color". And you'll save dye by knowing your color formulas before you even start to paint.
Don't let the number of steps in this process throw you off, it's well worth taking the time to make these cards. You will keep them for years, so they will save you time and money in the long run.

to Our English Speaking Visitors
This Maurice Zundel English garden offers various quotations translated by a few members of the AMZ Canada and drawn from the anthology published in 2007 by les éditions du Jubilé. » Dieu n'habite pas derrière les étoiles (God does not live behind the stars) As for any flower bed in a garden may these quotations from Maurice Zundel feeds your meditation.
No one knows who he is. The "me" that we keep uttering constantly is the biological "me ". In the most favorable cases, the personal 'me' is in the making: it is being made. (p. 16)
The human body thus is a body in the making, a body in becoming, a body being spiritualized, a body becoming a spirit, a body being immortalized, a body that breathes God and reveals Him. (p. 17)
Each of us is called to be an incarnation of God, each of us is called to let divinity irradiate, each of us is called to become transparency, and all the human grandness is there! (p. 18)
If we do not offer freedom the inner space necessary for its expansion, whose infinite requirement cannot bear any limit, the physical universe will close its borders more and more tightly on us. (p. 23)
The only way we can integrate and overcome our determinisms, is the disappropriation of ourselves which is the essence of love. (p. 44)
If we are supposed to get to know God by faith, as by an inner light, it is precisely because God cannot impose Himself on us. (p. 45)
Freedom does not mean: to do what I want; freedom means: to be free from myself, to become an unlimited space where the entire universe can be received. (3-338)
Freedom is the key to any experience of God (p. 26)
You will also find on the bibliography section the list of the few translated books of Maurice Zundel we are aware of. To buy them, as they are mostly second hand, amazon et ebay and a few other web sites may be your best bet.

If you've been reading these pages over the last few weeks, you'll know that this Perfect Storm has been gathering momentum. Sweden's Vanbot – whose very name sounds like the glorious mix of Scandi-pop and an automaton – has an array of immaculate, glass-like synth-pop ready to go. You only need to listen to recent releases Seven and The Way You Say It to know that.
But for all the steely aesthetics, Ester Ideskog's approach feels very organic. Hooking up with Johannes Berglund (also responsible for the likes of I Break Horses), there's a recognisable sound that somehow never sounds derivative. "There's no one that will take you from me," she cries on Trooper, starting the record off by replacing a genre-standard disaffectedness with a lot more heart. And, of course, there's more than enough of her hometown flair on tracks like Better In The Light, one of the most thumping examples of Swedish pop the year has seen so far.
There are some moments the album could do without – Bite The Bullet slows her roll somewhat – and by the end there's definitely a bit of synth-fatigue. But there's no denying that this is an incredibly polished pop album. A little less dependence on the 'bot' part of Vanbot would be welcome next time, but for now this is a storm worth weathering.

Foraging Behavior of Odontomachus bauri on Barro Colorado Island, Panama
Theodor-Boveri-Institut, Lehrstuhl für Verhaltensphysiologie und Soziobiologie der Universität (Zoologie II), Am Hubland, Würzburg D-97074, Germany

Foraging behavior and partitioning of foraging areas of Odonomachus bauri were investigated on Barro Colorado Island in Panama. The activity of the ants did not show any daily pattern; foragers were active day and night. The type of prey captured by O. bauri supports the idea that in higher Odontomachus and Anochetus species, the high speed of mandible closure serves more for generating power than capturing elusive prey. Polydomous nests may enable O. bauri colonies to enlarge their foraging areas.

I knew that I was going to continue to work outside the home after having children. We live in an area with a high cost of living, and in order for us to meet our financial goals each month, my income is necessary. I went into my first pregnancy with the mindset that my child would go to daycare. It was a decision that my husband and I made early, because we knew that we had level heads when we were making the decision. Having a child was uncharted territory, and we couldn't save a big decision like that for after the baby was born.
After having my son, I had 3 months of maternity leave, half of which was paid. The United States isn't known for its generous maternity leave policy, but I was able to take more than the bare minimum that some women get. I am grateful for that. When it came time for me to return to work, I cried. Dropping off my 3-month old baby at daycare felt like abandoning him. You are at the mercy of a near-stranger to take care of the human that just changed your life forever in the best way that you never knew was possible.
I know everyone's experience with their children is different, but we all share common themes. Hopefully I can touch on some of those common themes below. Here are a few of the toughest challenges I have experienced as a working mother, and how I have managed them:
- The initial drop-off when you first return to work. My first morning back to work was hard. I do love my job, but leaving your baby with someone else for the first time is emotional. My husband came with us, and we both gave the baby lots of kisses and held him before we left. Walking back to our cars, I cried. Having my husband there helped me not run back inside for one more snuggle, and actually get to work on time.
- Driving to work, looking back, and seeing an empty car seat. I hadn't been alone for the last 3 months of my life, and suddenly, my constant companion wasn't there. It felt like a sad scene from a sad movie. Even now, over a year later, I still glance in the rearview mirror and see the empty car seat and my heart strings feel a slight tug, but I can promise that it gets easier with time, and the new routine becomes comforting in its own way.
- Getting out the door on time in the morning. I've never been the best person at waking up early. I have quickly learned becoming a mother doesn't make it any easier. Not only do I have to dress myself, I have to dress a squirmy toddler who isn't always in the mood to put his socks on and can't make his own lunch. Do manage all the extra things that need to be done in the morning, I get as much done the night before as possible. For example, lunch usually involves some dinner leftovers, so I pack them into the right containers, bag them, and stick the whole thing in the fridge so I can grab and go the next morning. I also try to pick out our clothes the night before. (Keep an eye out for a longer post that details our morning routine for tips on how to shorten yours as well!)
- Finding the energy to play at the end of a long work day. Most days, I pick up my son from daycare and come home tired. I have found the easiest way to get past this is to stay outside and play before coming inside. For me, coming inside means it's time to prepare dinner and do laundry and other chores. If I stay outside, the fresh air helps revitalize me for a short while so we can play together.
There are always more challenges to being a mom, whether you stay home or work outside the home. I know that as I continue along the journey of motherhood, I will find new challenges. But I will also find new solutions. No problem is too big for a mother who wants the best for her children!

A Carter County man was arrested early Tuesday for allegedly stabbing a man twice in the buttocks during a fight at a home in Hitchens.
John Clark Jr., 19, was charged with first-degree assault, a class B felony, in the stabbing of Glen Wallace, according to a news release from state police. Clark was being held at the Carter County jail.
Police said the assault happened about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, when Clark and Wallace got into a physical altercation. Police say Clark stabbed Wallace during the fight. Wallace was taken to Kings Daughters Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
Investigators said the cause of the altercation is under investigation but alcohol was suspected as a factor.

Kathmandu, 13 October, 2017 : Parliament's meeting on Friday is going to be the last meeting of the legislature which was elected as second the Constituent Assembly (CA) in November 2013. Leaders said Friday's meeting will be the last meeting of the CA-turned-parliament if the government didn't defer the elections to the federal and provincial parliaments scheduled for November 26 and December 7.
The 601-member CA that accomplished its major task by promulgating the new constitution on September 20, 2015, was given continuity as the transitional parliament to lay the ground for the next election to elect a new parliament.
Since its first meeting on January 26, 2014, the present parliament has spent nearly 1,000 hours to hold 394 meetings in 958 days, until Thursday.
Parliament held seven sessions during its four-year term and also recorded a precedent of the longest house session of 381 days last year. The House is set to go idle from Friday due to Article 296 of the constitution which states that the term of the incumbent parliament will expire a day before the nominations for the election to the federal parliament. The Election Commission (EC) has scheduled the nomination under the Proportional Representation (PR) category for Sunday.
This parliament elected four governments, respectively led by Sushil Koirala of Nepali Congress (NC), K P Oli of CPN-UML, Pushpa Kamal Dahal of CPN (Maoist Center) and Sher Bahadur Deuba of NC during its four-year tenure. Though the new constitution included a provision to ensure a stable government, the first post-constitution government led by Oli faced a no-confidence motion in parliament. Oli resigned before the motion was put to vote in the House.
This parliament which delivered the new constitution in its capacity as the CA also witnessed some nasty incidents such as a brawl among Maoist lawmakers, boycott by lawmakers from the Madhes-based political parties and a no-confidence motion against a prime minister and impeachment motions.
The impeachment motions were registered in this parliament against the chief of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) Lokman Singh Karki and the then Chief Justice Sushila Karki. But the impeachment motion against the CIAA chief was terminated without being put to vote as the Apex Court disqualified him for the post while the impeachment motion against the chief justice was withdrawn following public pressure.
The parliament endorsed some milestone laws, including the replacement of the 180-year-old Muluki Ain (Civil Code) and the bill to establish transitional justice mechanisms. Likewise, this parliament endorsed over two dozen constitution implementation laws including the election-related bills, formation of various commissions and high courts, among others.
The parliament amended the new constitution within a year of its promulgation but the second bill to amend the constitution failed in the House.

On 16 and 17 October, Labgov will present the first co-working session for Labgov 2016.
This two-day workshop is based on the proposal to imagine Rome in an innovative way.
The project CO-ROMA is focused on the idea that a city should learn to share, collaborate and cooperate with the institutions, the civil society, universities and all the possible stakeholders in order to create a collaborative community, that wants to improve the quality of life and save the Italian cognitive and cultural heritage.
The programme of this first co-working-day will be structured into four working groups, which will be: urban design; communication; community organization through service design, and sustainability.
The most competent experts in every field will hold the round tables; they will transfer their know-how to the neo-labgovers, and they will imagine all together this transformation for Rome.
Several forces are already present in this new collaborative city: active citizens, voluntary associations, schools, urban gardens, co-working spaces, fab-labs, business leaders, and professionals for the common good.
Moreover, on Saturday morning at 9.00 am, the 2016 Labgov students will work for the first time in the garden, with our technical partner for horticulture, Zappata Romana. It will be a fantastic weekend, full of experiences and adventures. The detailed programme will be published as soon as possible.
For further information, please write to our official address.

Jason Willis believes there is a general misconception about the severity of poverty in Floyd County, where some may cut the issue down to individuals making "bad choices." But really poverty is the fact of individuals having "no choices," he said in the Rome News-Tribune on Saturday.
"We're here to be a hand up, not a handout," said Willis, the regional director for the Northwest Region of Action Ministries, a statewide nonprofit. "Poverty is real. People's perception is a lot of the time wrong."
According to 2015 statistics compiled by the Floyd County Kids Count Data Center, 21 percent of adults in the county live in severe poverty and one in three kids live in poverty. Also, the center's data reflects that 60 percent of kids in the county live in low-income households. And with a single parent in the Rome metro area working full time having an average monthly income of $1,256, an income gap of $1,735 presents itself — the average monthly cost of living for a parent with one child in Rome is $2,991.
To solve this "crisis," Willis said Action Ministries predominately focuses on three areas of need: housing, hunger relief and education.

Hello and happy back to school season!
Tonight I kissed my boys goodnight before their first day of school tomorrow. They will awake to new teachers, a new school (for one), and so much excitement as they enter 5th and 3rd grade.
We had an absolutely fantastic summer filled with family, sun, the lake, and of course books too! There is something magical about reading throughout the summer. So many choices: what to read, when and where to read, oh the possibilities. In my mind, there is nothing like reading outside with the sun gently warming your skin.
We did a lot of reading this summer and had some memorable books to pass along. Quinn and Keegan each are proud to share their favorites:
Quinn's Picks
Big Nate Series by Lincoln Pierce
The Squish Series by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm
And best of all Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
And now Keegan happily shares his favorite reads this summer-
El Deafo by Cece Bell, Frankie Pickle and the Closet of Doom by Eric Wright and Scooby Doo Howling on the Playground by Gail Herman
And together we read and LOVED Small Steps by Louis Sachar
So as we begin a brand new school year my heart is warmed by the memories of the summer we had together as a family, the adventures we shared, the memories we shared, and the stories we read. I hope your summer was filled with joy, warmth, and great stories!
Here's to the new school year and the many books we explore together.

extra virgin olive oil
Cru di Cures is made by the expert hands of Laura Fagiolo and her niece Antonella in Fara Sabina, in the region of Lazio. Sabina is one of the most historic areas of Italy, with evidence of human settlement from the Paleolithic period. Olive cultivation in this region is just as historic; Sabina olive oil was the first Italian oil to gain DOP status by the European Community, in recognition of a tradition stretching back thousands of years. Laura named her olive oil Cures after the Latin name for the ancient capital of Sabina, near Passo Corese.
At her farm, Azienda Agricola Fagiolo, Laura cultivates a number of local olive varieties, picked according to each cultivar's ripening point. The 2017/2018 is a blend make up of 50% Frantoio olives, 20% Carboncella, 20% Leccino, 10% Raja. After harvest, the olives are pressed immediately at the family mill to ensure maximum flavor and freshness in the oil. Laura also maintains a small agriturismo where she hosts local school children who come to learn about olive oil production and play with her animals. She is extremely picky about who sells her products, and Gustiamo is proud to offer this oil from a producer like Laura working to safeguard one of the oldest and finest examples of Italian olive oil culture.
... Clear, unfiltered, pale green with gold highlights, it has a delicate fruity flavor but is well-balanced with bitterness and pungency in the after taste. Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Published: Friday, April 24, 2009
The News Herald
Former Eastlake Police Detective Frank "Dak" Cochran apologized Thursday for receiving and distributing child pornography.
"I've made some serious improper decisions that hurt a lot of people and I take 100 percent responsibility," Cochran said. "What bothers me most is that my actions further promote the exploitation of children. I know better. I shouldn't be here."
The 52-year-old Mentor resident was in U.S. District Court in Akron to ask Judge Sara Lioi to sentence him to the minimum five years in prison. He received the five-year sentence and was labeled a sex offender.
Lioi called Cochran's conduct "egregious and illegal," but granted his request based on the fact that the 19-year member of the police force was a well-respected part of the community prior to his crimes.
"He's not the typical offender, if there is such a thing," Lioi said. "The case is perplexing because Mr. Cochran, you led such an exemplary life for many years. You were even involved in investigations in child pornography. But there is no indication you acted out on any impulses."
The 1994 "Eastlake Officer of the Year" faced up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty in February to one count of distributing images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
When officials raided his home in 2007, there were between 10 and 100 images of pre-pubescent children.
Yet most of Cochran's friends and family members never stopped standing by him.
Eleven people came to support Cochran on Thursday.
None of them spoke during the hearing, but many in attendance wrote letters on his behalf that the judge took into consideration. The letters revealed a far different person from the one who committed the offenses.
His wife, Theresa, said she was divorced with two very young children when she met Cochran at their job at TRW.
She began dating him after he never left her side during a family tragedy in which her 3-year-old nephew died after being hit by a car.
After they were married a year later, Cochran treated his wife's children as his own and continues to be a positive force in their lives, defense attorney Jennifer Schwartz said.
Wendy Barcik, his stepdaughter, said she was estranged from her natural father for years but that Cochran was always there for her.
"My father was not there for me as a child or in my early adulthood years," she wrote. "Frank was the one who taught me how to drive and then helped me buy my first car. Frank was the one who gave me the encouragement to go to college and pursue an area I am passionate about. Frank was the one who helped mend the relationship between my mother and me when we were not getting along. Without his guidance, things could have had a very different outcome for my brother and I."
Megan Cochran, the former detective's only natural child, also asked the judge for leniency, noting that his dedication also applied to his highly decorated career.
One of Cochran's former neighbors told the judge she never noticed anything unusual about his interactions with children.
"Mr. Cochran does not engage in relationships with the neighborhood children," wrote Kathleen Tagliamonte. "He doesn't loiter where children congregate, position himself to observe children or put himself on display. He has not attempted to become chummy with neighbors to gain access to our children. I feel confident in asserting that Mr. Cochran's behavior in our neighborhood and towards our children is utterly inconsistent with his pornography interest. I have never feared him, nor feared having him near our children."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan acknowledged that the mistakes Cochran made does not erase the overall life he lived.
"We don't dispute the positive influence he's had on others," Sullivan said.
Cochran — dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit — said he still does not know why he became interested in child porn, and is hoping to find answers in the prison counseling program.
"I'm very lucky to have such a loving and supportive family," he said before being led back behind bars. "I will work hard to regain your trust."
Tracey Read, The News Herald
A former Eastlake police detective has been remanded to the custody of U.S. marshals after pleading guilty Wednesday to receiving and distributing child pornography.
Frank "Dak" Cochran Jr., 52, of Mentor, is being detained without bail.
He faces between 5 and 20 years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine when he is sentenced April 24 by U.S. District Judge Sara Lioi in Akron.
Cochran's home was raided by federal agents Nov. 9, 2007.
Agents found more than 10 and fewer than 150 images of "real, pre-pubescent minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct" on his computer, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan said.
The images were transmitted across state lines between Sept. 2, 2006, and Aug. 14, 2007.
"He sent and received e-mail images through the Internet to Georgia using America Online," Sullivan said.
Cochran remained on paid administrative leave from the police department for more than a year until he resigned last month. His attorneys, Niki and Jennifer Schwartz, attempted to argue that Cochran be allowed to remain free because of the "extraordinary circumstances" of his job.
"We believe his safety would be in jeopardy if he would be confined in a local facility," Jennifer Schwartz said.
Sullivan successfully argued that Cochran is facing mandatory prison time, making him a possible flight risk.
Cochran — a onetime "Eastlake Officer of the Year" — did not speak on his own behalf other than to politely answer routine questions.
Eastlake Police Chief John Ruth — who did not attend the hearing — declined comment afterward.
"I really have nothing further to say," Ruth said.
Eastlake Mayor/Safety Director Ted Andrzejewski said the city took appropriate action against the veteran detective.
"I'm saddened by the crimes committed by Detective Cochran," the mayor said. "But he is no longer a member of the police force, and his actions should not reflect on the entire city's police department and all the work the men and women do to protect the city of Eastlake."
Cochran previously signed a 14-page plea agreement between the U.S. Attorney's Office and defense attorneys. But that agreement is not yet public record, and Lioi does not have to adopt it.
After he completes his prison sentence, the judge can order that Cochran be placed on supervised release for life. His attorneys could argue that sentencing guidelines be lowered.
"Consideration could be made for acceptance of responsibility," the judge said.
Cochran has agreed to forfeit the laptop computer and other materials that were seized at his home.
The case was investigated by the Cleveland office of the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
By Jason Lea , Lake County News-Herald Wednesday, January 28, 2009 12:48 AM EST
Former Eastlake Police Detective Frank "Dak" Cochran Jr. was charged via information with one count of receiving and distributing child pornography Tuesday morning in the United States Northern District of Ohio Court.
The charge stems from activity that occurred between Sept. 2, 2006 to Aug. 14, 2007, according to information released from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Cochran is accused of receiving and disseminating child pornography by computer.
Cochran's Mentor home was raided by federal agents Nov. 9, 2007. Agents wearing U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement hats removed boxes of potential evidence from the home. Cochran remained on paid administrative leave from the police department until he tendered his resignation earlier this month.
If convicted, Cochran would face between five and 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines.
Judge Sara Lioi will preside over the case. The case is being prosecuted by U.S. Attorney Michael A. Sullivan and was investigated by the Cleveland office of the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Isn't Dak A Great Guy?

I had a fantastic education at Trinity in the 1970s/80s. But that's ancient history. What I like about Trinity now is that it teaches young people curiosity, independence of mind, maturity and respect while helping them achieve the very best they can – academically and otherwise. Many other schools make empty claims to do similar things, but Trinity is underpinned by a powerful philosophy that really makes it happen.
School governors play a key role in exercising effective governance by supporting the leadership of Trinity Catholic School and working, together with staff to make sure that the school provides a challenging and supportive environment for students.
The Chair of the Governing Board at Trinity Catholic School is Mr Christopher Snelson. Christopher was born in London and brought up in Karachi, Pakistan, and Germany before returning to England in his teens. Trained as an accountant, he has worked in industry for most of his career, first as an accountant in the oil and gas exploration industry, and for the last 26 years with a major electricity utility company mostly specialising in the capital investment field. He has lived mostly in the Leamington Spa area since 1992.
Christopher became a Foundation Governor in 2008 and Chair of Governors in 2015. His early life has given him a love of travel, varied cultures, and an insight into different models of education, both state-maintained and privately funded.
Publication of Governors' Details
In the interests of transparency, the Governing Body is now required to publish up-to-date details of the governance arrangements for the school.
The information we provide includes:
- The structure and remit of the Governing Body and its Committees, and the full names of the Chair of each.

- Their full names, date of appointment, term of office, date they stepped down (where applicable), who appointed them (in accordance with the Trinity School Instrument of Government).
- Relevant business and pecuniary interests (as recorded in the register of interests) including:
- Governance roles in other educational institutions;
- Any material interests arising from relationships between Governors or relationships between Governors and school staff (including spouses, partners and close relatives);
- Their attendance record at Governing Body and Committee meetings over the last academic year.
- The Governing Body will also publish this information for any Associate Members, making clear whether they have voting rights on any of the committees to which they have been appointed.
- The Governing Body will make it clear in their Code of Conduct that this information will be published on their Governors and any Associate Members. Any Governor failing to provide information to enable the Governing Body to fulfil their responsibilities may be in breach of the Code of Conduct and as a result be bringing the Governing Body into disrepute. In such cases the Governing Body may consider suspending the Governor.
The Register of Interests of the Governing Body of Trinity School
It is a statutory requirement that the Governing Body of Trinity School, a state-maintained school, is required to publish a Register of Interests on the school website, according to statutory guidance (The Constitution of Governing Bodies of Maintained Schools, March 2015).
Declarations of interest will include:
- Any association with individuals, businesses, contractors, directorships, or shareholdings in any organisation that may provide goods or services to the school.
- Association with persons such as parent, spouse, co-habitee, child or business partners where influence could be brought to bear needs to be declared.
