In July 2012 the National Farmers Union (NFU) and Farmers for Action (FFA) embarked on a series of protests and actions against supermarkets and dairy processing companies. They claimed that buyers were forcing further price cuts on farmers when liquid milk prices were already below the cost of production.
DEFRA agreed that the average UK farmgate price for milk stood at 26.38 pence per litre (ppl) in July 2012(1) when the cost of production where a farmer could make a profit stood at over 30ppl.
Pressures such as low market prices for milk have been forcing farmers to leave the market and there are some fears that if prices continue to fall the dairy industry in the UK could disappear altogether. Between February 2005 and 2011, in Devon and Cornwall alone, 489 dairy farmers left the industry.(2)
Over the course of the last decade the way that milk is produced and supplied to consumers has changed dramatically. Just over 25 years ago, milkmen were a regular daily sight on city streets. However, when retail prices for liquid milk were deregulated in 1984, doorstep deliveries declined as shops began to sell milk more cheaply.
As most milk is now sold through supermarkets, this has led to stiff competition over price. In 2011, for example, Dairy Crest lost its contract to supply Tesco after it was beaten on price by competitors.(3)
Most of the main dairy processors also produce branded dairy milk for sale, and have been included on the main ranking table in the Milk buyers' guide. Below is a table of the biggest supermarkets with their positions (as of September 2012) on how much they pay for a litre of milk. The statements were taken from the NFU website – which has been campaigning for milk processors to pay more.
Included on the table are the main companies known to have been supplying the supermarkets – some are not publicly available.
DairyCo's website, which has a league table of the price of milk each contractor is paying, shows that M&S and Waitrose are actually paying the highest price in the industry for milk.
Morrisons' milk is supplied by Dairy Crest and Arla and the company has promised an additional 6ppl. However 3ppl is to support farmers through bad weather and will be reviewed in October.
Iceland stated that its current price agreement was sufficient, while Aldi and Lidl both promised to add 2ppl to milk brought from processors.
The focus of the campaigning has now turned to milk processors. Ethical Consumer contacted the three main milk processors in August 2012 asking how they would ensure farmers are being paid the right price.
Dairy Crest stated in July that it had delayed a farmgate milk price reduction it had planned from 1st August to allow discussions with its customers on whether they would support farmers by paying higher milk prices.
Mike Sheldon, Milk Procurement Director at Dairy Crest, commented:
"We are in no doubt about the difficulties our non-aligned farmers have been facing and are confident that all our customers are now also aware of these difficulties and many are prepared to pay more for their milk as a result".
Arla confirmed that with effect from 1 October, Arla's standard litre price will be 29.5 pence for Arla Food Milk Partnership members in the non-aligned Asda and Tesco seasonal milk pools.
Robert Wiseman owned by Muller Dairy UK did not respond to our enquiry, however it was reported in August 2012 that FFA held a protest at Muller's Dairy in Market Drayton. The company subsequently announced an increase of its milk to 29ppl. The changes will only affect farmers operating contracts directly with Muller UK or Wiseman.
Kevin Bellamy, a dairy analyst, told Dairyreporter.com in September 2012 that this was 'a good time for processors to honour their promises' as cream prices had recently risen and had boosted companies' profits. Bellamy went on to state that he thought the 'industry maybe turning a corner' and was interested to see what happened with Arla Foods, Robert Wiseman Dairies and Dairy Crest, and where they go next'.(4)
Ethical Consumer is part of a coalition of groups campaigning for a strong Grocery Code Adjudicator Bill which includes provisions on arbitrating disputes between retailers and suppliers, investigating complaints from suppliers to help end the 'climate of fear' and holding retailers accountable.
The bill received its first reading in the House of Commons on 3rd September 2012.

For more than half a century the brush factory has specialised in the production of fine art brushes.
In 1951 in a small artisan shop in Emilia, Wilma and Arturo Bonazzi, brother and sister, decided to set up their own business after years of training with the local masters, to learn the secrets of traditional gestures, their sequence and the capability to recognise the most suitable materials. Wilma married young Borciani and the union of the two surnames gave rise to the mark, which was immediately outstanding for quality of product, precise artisan craftsmanship and courtesy in satisfying the demands of professional restorers and painters who came to the brush factory searching for special tools for their works. Still today, repeating almost magically the ritual of gestures assimilated over time, the attention to raw materials along with artisan skills that have never been lost in our production (done entirely in Italy) satisfies the most demanding artists, lute makers, gilders and restorers who have preferred us for years and constantly keep us busy to live up to their expectations.
High quality, intense research and innovation applied to ancient painting techniques have been tested over and over.
We are pleased to share with you a part of our history which, along its way, brought shop experience to be competent for important interventions on monuments and works of art in Italy (such as the imposing restoration of the Sistine Chapel in Rome) and the prestigious national restoration schools (Istituto Centrale di Restauro [Central Restoration Institute] in Rome and Opificio delle Pietre Dure [Semiprecious Stone Works] in Florence).
How They Are Made
How is a brush made? If you want to learn how to make a brush and look for information about how to do it, you will find very little. You find something in the "Libro dell'arte" by Cennino Cennini from Colle val d'Elsa, painter at the service of the Lord of Padua, Francesco da Carrara, in the mid 15th century.
Nothing was left in writing by the Milanese Paola Pedretti in the second half of the 19th century, who successfully tried her hand in making brushes "for use in France and Rome" and deserved a prize because she was considered "among the industrious people who study for the redemption of our country from some tribute that was paid time ago to foreigners".
You can read something more in "La tecnica della pittura ad olio e del disegno artistico" ("Oil painting and artistic design technique") by Gino Piva, in 1985, but don't expect anything more than pointers. More information can be traced in the "Nuovissimo ricettario chimico" by Antonio Turco (1990 - Hoepli) but in this case too the consultation would probably leave many questions unanswered.
The fact is that creating a simple brush combines many specific, particular skills concerning raw materials, the tools necessary and extremely good manual capability. It takes patience, power of observation, curiosity, constancy and method to make a good brush. These are the main, essential components, along with manual dexterity, which lead us to think is more a natural gift rather than an acquired method.
Today the brush factory is the highest example of Italian production in the sector.
The rhythms of this precise, patient craft, tempting fate, are still alive today. The artisan aspect of the product, linked to nearly manual work, has been handed down – hitting the target of success right in the centre. Thus the excellence of our products is recognisable and recognised; on the other hand, low quality articles are easy to identify because the head of the brush is obtained by shaving the tuft to the desired form. This way the tip ("feather") of the hair is cut, losing the most precious part, the part that gives softness and precision to the stroke.
When visiting the company, there are encounters with the processing experts who, with more than fifty years of experience, create brush tips, trusting only the mastery they have acquired over time.

چکیده انگلیسی
Recent literature on project management has emphasised the effort which is spent by the management team during the project control process. Based on this effort, a functional distinction can be made between a top down and a bottom up project control approach. A top down control approach refers to the use of a project control system that generates project based performance metrics to give a general overview of the project performance. Actions are triggered based on these general performance metrics, which need further investigation to detect problems at the activity level. A bottom up project control system refers to a system in which detailed activity information needs to be available constantly during the project control process, which requires more effort. In this research, we propose two new project control approaches, which combines elements of both top down and bottom up control. To this end, we integrate the earned value management/earned schedule (EVM/ES) method with multiple control points inspired by critical chain/buffer management (CC/BM). We show how the EVM/ES control approach is complementary with the concept of buffers and how they can improve the project control process when cleverly combined. These combined top down approaches overcome some of the drawbacks of traditional EVM/ES mentioned in the literature, while minimally increasing the effort spent by the project manager. A large computational experiment is set up to test the approach against other control procedures within a broad range of simulated dynamic project progress situations.

The unfortunate thing about hurricane vases is that they can be so blasted expensive, with prices ranging from $15-$100 and up depending on the size and material it's made of. Yikes! I don't have that kind of money in my budget so I started looking around. Something I noticed is that the name of an item can affect its price. If you search for "hurricane vase" online, you get higher prices than searching for "glass flower vase", even if they look like the exact same thing. And it got me thinking, "Where can I find cheap glass cylinder vases?" The answer is: the dollar store!
So off I went to the dollar store and I found exactly what I was looking for--short and tall glass cylinder vases-- and I picked up two of each. I had decided I wanted them up on a small stand so I also grabbed some glass candlestick holders to glue to the bottom, also from the dollar store. I brought my purchase home and did a little research on the best type of glue to use for glass. I've used various brands of super glue before on other projects, but not glass and I wanted to make sure the candlestick didn't come off. I also wanted the glue to dry clear. The best solution I found was to use Loctite GO2 Glue. I bought it at Walmart for about $4. Armed with glass and glue, I was ready to start.
Before gluing the pieces together, I removed the stickers using Goo Gone, then wiped them clean of any residue and let them dry for a few minutes.
Then I opened the glue and gently squeezed it around the top part of the candlestick (see picture). I was fairly generous without letting it get too goopy. Then I turned the candlestick over and tried to get it as close to center as possible. This particular glue has a repositionable time frame of 5 minutes so I didn't stress out about getting it exactly in the right place the first time. I basically just rotated the vase around and eyeballed it and moved it around until I thought it looked centered. Then I repeated the steps on the other 3 vases/candlesticks.
The cure time for the glue I used is 24 hours, so after a few hours on the counter to let it set, I moved the vases to a more out of the way place to avoid getting them knocked over or touched by curious little hands.
*Note: If you use a glue other than the one I used, be sure to check the repositionable time, set time and cure time so you know how much time you are working with.
After the 24 hours were up, I turned the vases over and inspected my work and they looked awesome! The glue dried clear and strong and they looked store bought rather than handmade.
Since I've got a Thanksgiving/fall theme going on at my house right now, I filled one small vase with popcorn kernels and a small votive candle. The larger vase is filled with small pine cones. I also tied some cute ribbon around my vases to add to the overall look and tie it into the theme. When Christmas (or any other holiday/season) comes around, I will swap in something else.

Not sure what to put in your hurricane vase? No problem! I've compiled a list of ideas of items for both holidays and everyday decor. They would also be great to use for parties and fill with treats or other items. You can get a lot of these items from the dollar store!
Items to fill vases (Holiday)
- Valentine's Day: red cinnamon candy, conversation hearts
- St. Patrick's Day: plastic gold coins, rainbow candy (like Skittles)
- Easter: Peeps, plastic eggs
- Independence Day: flags, sparklers
- Halloween: skulls, plastic rats, candy corn, anything you'd fill an apothecary jar with
- Thanksgiving: popcorn kernels, acorns
- Christmas: small ball ornaments, bells, cinnamon sticks, pine cones
- Shells
- Candle
- Flowers
- Potpourri
- Plastic fruit, like lemons, limes or oranges
- Sticks/Branches
- Glass beads
What do you like to decorate with year round? Do you have other suggestions for what to put in hurricane vases?

File types we accept
When placing your order please attach your file to your email. We accept the following image types: jpg, jpeg, gif, ai, eps, pdf.
Image transparency

If certain areas of your design should be transparent, please let us know when you are ordering.
Artwork quality
In general, you should try and upload the best quality version of your logo or image you have to ensure the best end results. If you upload a file that is too low quality to print or embroider, our team will contact you to discuss how best to proceed.

After Care
We hope you enjoy your new garments for a very long time. Here are a few tips on how to best care for them. Always wash your garments inside out. It is advisable to wash your garments at 30 degrees (no higher than 40). Never ever tumble dry your garments – this might be obvious, but some people still do! It will ruin the print work or embroidery work. If you have any issue, please do get in touch.

Idle Happenings: This week the guys chat about a re-release of the controversial early nineties Sega CD game called Night Trap on the PS4 and Xbox One. Full motion video games were all the rage back in the early days of the video game on CD but they haven't aged well.
Goldblum is back and Andrew and Josh attempt to impersonate him while chatting about the recent announcement that he will reprise his role as Ian Malcolm in the upcoming JURASSIC WORLD sequel.
New this week is a segment featuring a drive-in movie selection from the book JOE BOB GOES TO THE DRIVE IN by drive-in movie critic and former Monstervision host, Joe Bob Briggs. Your fearless hosts will pick one movie from Joe Bob's book each week, watch it, then report their findings right here each week.
Featured Chatter: Andrew and Josh discuss lengthy movies and whether there is such a thing as a movie that is too long. What is your run time sweet spot? Is there ever a reason for a movie to run past three hours?

Week: 72
Hey everyone, sorry I couldn't write a ton last week, I'll try to make up for it this week. So, this week was one I had been dreading for a while, the day of our ward activity that I've been planning for over a month. All of you know I'm bad at organizing, planning, and throwing parties. Which is why it is funny that I got put in charge of all of this. The point of it was to help our members here learn simple ways they can invite their friends to learn more about the church and especially get them to this big shindig Rechnoy is putting on called open door night. After a week of frantically planning, making programs, finding props pojectors and instruments; the day finally came. We had called literally everyone in the area to come, and had a pretty good idea how few would be there, most of them cancelled on us write before, especially the ones that were supposed to take part. So we got there and only the Bishop, ward mission leader, first counselor and his daughter, and some other lady showed. It started off a little awkward because nobody was there but in the end we had a good time. Pres wanted us to show off for them, so there were some people playing music, and then those of us with less gifts recited russion poems, they love that junk in russia. At the last minute I signed myself up to accompany elder Anderson with a guitar and I haven't played in almost two years, it was pretty horendous, but at the end he whipped out his trumpet mouthpiece (he wasn't aloud to have a trumpet) and played the last verse of called to serve, they dug it. I won't go into more detail about what went down, but the people that were there love us now, and Bishop told everyone on sunday that they can trust us with their friends and family and that we are sick and legit (paraphrasing). I'm just glad that business is over though. As far as the work goes, we have one new investigator who is a goofy kid from ukraine that moved here with his family cuz it's safer. When I was talking to him after english club on wednesday he freaked out and said "Holland, why you so close man, you trying to kiss me or something". Then he talked about how he thought another elder was gay. (that was fair he is a little lady like). And then last night when we were teaching him about Jesus and repentance and forgiveness, he was like "Holland, I love what you're saying man but stop staring into my soul it's freaking me out". So we have a new young homophobic investigator from the ukraine who doesn't like to be looked in the eyes. I've been pretty fortunate to meet the people I have here, I know that nobody has been able to accept fully what we have to offer, but I count myself lucky for just being able to tell people about it. Also I can say I've seen how people who act upon what we teach find out that it's true. It's not easy to become a member out here, you give up a lot, I have a ton of respect for the people here that are willing to put everything on the line to do what they know is right, I don't think I could. We get transfers next week, I think I might actually be staying for one more round here. Game on. Miss you guys, thanks for all the love, see you later.
Elder Holland.

I, really like this book. I've read Tiger, Monkey, And Snake, which is my favorite one so far. Fu, is the main character, Fu means tiger in Cantonese. But still, next to the other two books (Monkey, And Snake) Tiger, outranks Harry Potter by four stars!
I love this series!

Domonic & Dezerae
Just yesterday we did a shoot of two great beautiful children. These are the children of two good friends of ours. You may recognize Domonic & Dezerae from a previous shoot we did about a year ago. These two kids were fun to work with yesterday despite the very very cold weather. Little Domonic was focused and ready to shoot. He has a serious look on his face in most of his pictures but don't be fooled, he was having a great time. Dezerae was having a good time just picking flowers while we were out there. But when it was time to shoot, she wanted to take her jacket off and be right next to her big brother. You can really tell that these two kids have a great bond and love each other very much.
The weather was very cold so we tried to hurry things up. Never did any one of them complain about the chilly temperature. They were both ready for the camera. The final products from this shoot will be a little more artsy rather than traditional. Here we have posted two sample photos but you can see the entire album of this shoot on our Facebook or MySpace profiles in a few days. These pictures will also be featured on our Website. Stay tuned and check back they are looking great.

Bagan favourites at home against Mumbai FCSeptember 26th, 2008 - 11:03 pm ICT by IANS
Kolkata, Sep 26 (IANS) Fame, form and a star-studded line-up make Mohun Bagan firm favourites as they clash with first timers Mumbai FC in their I-League opener at Barasat near here Saturday. Three-time champions Bagan, who played splendidly to annex the Calcutta Premier League title recently, have a fine combination of energetic greenhorns and seasoned footballers, and should not face much problem playing in home conditions against the visitors.
Apart from the redoubtable Brazilian Jose Ramirez Barreto and old warhorse Bhaichung Bhutia, the city giants have a clutch of Tata Football Academy cadets who gave a good account of themselves in the city league.
Coached by Karim Bencherifa, the green and maroon brigade have a good defence, but would miss the services of right-back Habibur Rahman, down with a thigh strain. Custodian Sangram Mukherjee is also ruled out with a sore knee, and Shilton Paul is likely to do duty under the bar.
With the dream combination of Barreto and Bhutia upfront, Bencharifa would be hoping for a good display from the likes of Ishfaq Ahmed and Shylo Malsawmtluanga to create the moves from the midfield.
Having last claimed top honours in the high-profile league seven years back, Bagan seem hungry to kickstart their campaign on a winning note at the Barasat Stadium Saturday.
"It's imperative that we begin with a win Saturday and then make further planning," said Bencherifa after the afternoon practice session.
The Mumbai club also have some renowned names on its roster, and the quality of Noel Wilson, Sanjay Parte, Jatin Singh Bisht and goalkeeper Kalyan Choubey could help them in throwing a challenge to the city outfit.
"I'm sure our players will adjust to the conditions in quick time. Plus, we have players in our squad who have had the experience of playing here," said Mumbai FC's British coach David Booth.

Apparently, some people are not happy with the sound of Metasonix modules.
Which "aren't loud enough". Or something.
So, Eric created the R-57. It's loud enough.
It replaces the R-51 VCA. However, if the R-51 could be compared to a rose-scented roll of premium extra-soft serviettes, by comparison the R-57 is a double wall of 20-grit sandpaper. Rose-scented, even.
The R-57 Dual VCA is now becoming increasingly rare as no longer available. This is our last unit.
"This goes to eleven" my ass. This goes to heaven, and hell.
It's a dual VCA. Each channel can also be used as an instrument/mic preamp with up to 50+ dB of gain available. It can be set for a sweet and happy clean sound, it can do some meaty tube distortion, or it can be set to rip your scalp off and pound your balls into a nice sausage meat to add to your lovely omelette. Plus, the INVERT switch sets channel 2's CV to operate its VCA oppositely to channel 1. That allows the R-57 to be used as a lovely stereo panner/crossfader.
Beware. This is not intended to be a nice, neat, clean, sweet and virginal VCA. It is what it is. It has a few warts and it will not reward idiotic usage. Big hug!
Power requirement: +-12v dc, 300 mA after warmup (800-850 mA cold startup is required for 3-5 seconds). Tiptop uZeus and "Happy Ending" power supplies cannot run the R-57 and are not recommended. Most Doepfer(tm), Monorocket(tm), Analogue Systems(tm) and other third-party cabinets should have no trouble powering the R-57.

Book to reveal city's history
IT HAS taken 400 hours and two years to compile, but the extraordinary life of the man who built an entire city from scratch will hit book stores this year.
The currently untitled biography of Springfield Land Corporation chairman Maha Sinnathamby will detail his rise from a farming village in Malaysia to one of Queensland's richest men.
It will describe the real life benefits of using his motto 'Chase success and the money will come'.
But the book will also be a study of politics as Springfield has been created under four different Queensland premiers.
In the book, Mr Sinnathamby recalls how he stalked former premier Wayne Goss for months in 1992, badgering him for a face-to-face meeting.
His persistence eventually paid off years later when Mr Goss was convinced to support the dream of Springfield.
"Goss thought I was bloody mad and maybe I was," Mr Sinnathamby said.
"I just kept showing up wherever he was. I would find out what functions he was going to and I would just show up there and be friendly with him and try to make a connection.
"No one thought it would work. But he eventually listened to me."
Most people do.
The city of Springfield is now thriving with 20,000 residents while population projections state the city will house more than 100,000 people within 20 years.
But in 1991 the land had no buyers until Mr Sinnathamby saw it had the potential to transform the Ipswich region.
"In 1991 the average price for an Ipswich home was $23,000. It was a deprived place," he said.
"I wanted to provide a nice place to live for people that could educate them and enable them to be better people.
"I think I have achieved that.
"I was told in 1992 that I could make an easy $8 million by dividing the land into big rural lots but I said no, I'm not going to do that, I'm going to fight to build a city here.
"Springfield could have been cows, tin sheds and barbed wire today if I had chosen to chase money instead of success."
In a few words
Mr Sinnathamby founded Greater Springfield 20 years ago on nearly 3000 hectares of land.
His favourite saying is "It's never a no, until it's a yes."
In 2009, he was the fifth richest person in Queensland with wealth estimated to exceed $700 million.
He travelled to Australia by boat in 1962 to study civil engineering at the University of New South Wales

Setting. Tanzania. Objective. To compare microscopy as conducted in direct observation of treatment, short course centers to pouched rats as detectors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Design. Ten pouched rats were trained to detect tuberculosis in sputum using operant conditioning techniques. The rats evaluated 910 samples previously evaluated by smear microscopy. All samples were also evaluated through culturing and multiplex polymerase chain reaction was performed on culture growths to classify the bacteria. Results. The patientwise sensitivity of microscopy was 58.0%, and the patient-wise specificity was 97.3%. Used as a group of 10 with a cutoff (defined as the number of rat indications to classify a sample as positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis) of 1, the rats increased new case detection by 46.8% relative to microscopy alone. The average samplewise sensitivity of the individual rats was 68.4% (range 61.1-73.8%), and the mean specificity was 87.3% (range 84.7-90.3%). Conclusion. These results suggest that pouched rats are a valuable adjunct to, and may be a viable substitute for, sputum smear microscopy as a tuberculosis diagnostic in resource-poor countries.

Dear Adriano Ariani,
Thanks very much for your contribution of these historical performances. Unfortunately, we absolutely need to know the publisher information and publication date in order to determine the copyright status of these recordings in the USA. We also require that you provide the dates of the artists listed in the recordings in order to determine their copyright status in Canada. The situation with respect to older recordings is ridiculously complicated in the USA, so these would be available on the EU server if they are free in Canada as well. Canada's rule on recordings is fairly simple, like the regular copyright law is - copyright expires 50 years after the death of the last surviving author. Unless we have a response from you in about 24 hours, we will have no choice but to take these down as possible copyright violations. Thanks, Carolus 05:43, 26 January 2011 (UTC) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)

Every aspect of life is better when you're healthy, so we present to you the potency of wildcrafted medicine! Here in this blog and through our beyond organic, super sustainable tea blends, we offer the super natural healing powers of plants! Knowledge is power; you can take responsibility for your own wellbeing when you know your options.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is a member of the marigold family. It is said to bloom on the first few days of the Roman calendar month (the "calends", which corresponded to the new moon cycle), hence the name. It is respected as a wildflower, grows cultivated as abeautiful ornamental in gardens, and has been used for healing throughout history all across the world!
The portion of the calendula plant that appears to be the flower is actually a specialized structure called an inflorescence.
Calendula has bright yellow to orange daisy-esque flowers. The flower heads are actually composed of wee little florets that blossom according to the geometric pattern of the Fibonnacci sequence, radiating out into the petals (which are specialized flowers themselves called ray florets). The hairy, oblong leaves are a rich green and alternate up the main stalk. The plant grows 40-70 cm tall (that's about 16"-28" for Americans) with a deep taproot.
Calendula contains essential oils, salicylic acid, phytosterols, carotenoids, glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, and tannins.
Calendula is used for cooking, teas, dyes, and as oil and skin tonic. The flowers and leaves are edible. The dried plant can be used as tea, tincture, or oil. Crushed fresh leaves can be applied to wounds.
Calendula healing powers:
- increases blood flow
- antibacterial & analgesic effects
- antispasmodic
- supports healthy skin
- heals wounds
- improves digestion
- antiviral
- anti-inflammatory
- detoxes through promotion of bile flow and induction of sweating
- fever reducer
- stimulates blood flow in pelvis, regulating menstruation
- can abort a weak pregnancy
- encourages healthy liver & lymphatic system
- alleviates sore throat
- anticancer
- promotes oral health

At Dalestorth our Long Term Maths Planning follows the new and revised White Rose Maths Scheme (September 2017). This scheme blocks areas of maths together so that children are taught topics 'in depth'. For Short Term Planning, staff use a combination of Abacus Evolve and White Rose planning.
KS1 have a daily maths lesson.
The lesson will always start with some counting work, before moving onto a mental starter. There will then be a main teaching input before the children will complete differentiated activities. The lesson will end with a plenary which may assess the children's learning from that lesson, introduce a new concept or recap previous learning. The daily lessons will combine a mixture of reasoning and arithmetic activities. Number bonds and tables tests will be given as and when appropriate.
KS2 have a daily maths lesson.
The lesson will always start with a mental starter. There will then be a main teaching input before the children will complete differentiated activities. The lesson will end with a plenary which may assess the children's learning from that lesson, introduce a new concept or recap previous learning. In KS2 at least one of the maths lessons each week is dedicated to times tables, arithmetic and reasoning practise (see below):
Years 3 and 4
Have one lesson per week, which consists of a tables test, arithmetic test and a reasoning problem solved in their maths books linked to problem of week. This practice will take place during the Autumn Term. From the Spring Term, years 3 and 4 will alternate arithmetic and reasoning tests with times tables tests and reasoning problem of the week continuing.
Year 5 and 6
Have one lesson per week which is a times tables test and arithmetic test, plus an additional half hour reasoning session per week, which includes a problem of the week solved in books. Years 5 and 6 will also trial 10 in 10 arithmetic tests at least once per week during Autumn Term 2017. From the Spring Term, year 5 will alternate arithmetic and reasoning tests with times tables tests and the extra reasoning session will continue. From the Spring Term, year 6 will teach extra maths lessons in afternoons in preparation for the SATs tests in May.
What should my child be learning in Maths in their particular year group?
What should they be able to do and how can I help?
Have a look at the Year Group Target Booklets at the bottom of this page and they will tell you what Maths objectives your child should cover and what they should be able to do by the end of the year. Our calculation policies will also help you see how we teach the four operations..

Times Tables Rewards
When a child achieved their number bonds to 10, 20 or their 2, 5 or 10 times tables they will receive a certificate in praise assembly.
When a child achieves a single times table from 2 to 12 they receive a sticker which is placed on the class times table chart. When a child achieves the bronze times table test within the set time they receive a certificate and a badge in praise assembly. These rewards are then continued for the silver challenge and above.
Abacus Online Learning
To help children make sense of and practice their maths, Abacus provides a combination of maths games, interactive activities, pupil videos and pupil worksheets, focused around an interactive pupil world where your child can earn rewards and personalise their learning.
Using the Abacus online pupil world with your child
The Abacus pupil world is the place that your child will log into to play maths games, complete interactive activities and access rewards. They earn rewards by completing the games and activities that their teacher has allocated to them. They can also watch pupil videos, which recap key teaching topics. These videos are accompanied by pupil worksheets that help children practice key maths skills, sometimes teachers may send the worksheets home as homework.
If you have access to an internet connection, your child can log into the Abacus pupil world at home with their personal login. They can do so via a computer or tablet.
Logging into the pupil world
The Abacus pupil world is powered by a website called ActiveLearn. To log into the pupil world, your child will need to:
1. Go to www.activelearnprimary.co.uk
2. Enter their login details and click "Log in".
Password: dps
School code: dapr
Once your child has logged in, they'll arrive at the Pupil Home. Children can personalise their home screen by choosing a world. The worlds differ depending on key stage but include Race World, Skate World and Future World.
"My Stuff"
This is where children can see the activities their teacher has allocated to them. They can see here how many coins each game or activity is worth before completing it.
"My Rewards"
'My Rewards' is where your child can go to select their rewards after completing allocated games and activities. They can also customise avatars, decorate a tree house, play games and much more. The more games and activities your child completes, the more rewards they can unlock and buy.
Need help?
Don't forget, if your child is having trouble using the pupil world, help can be found in the Help Section of ActiveLearn (in the top right-hand corner of the website).
Please note: We strongly recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browsers with ActiveLearn. If you prefer to use Internet Explorer, please check you have at least Internet Explorer 9 in order for everything to work as it should.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 3258
arpsnmp missing
Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:37:36 EST
(I cannot specify arpwatch as package in bugzilla, and since
its in the same source rpm as tcpdump, I filed it here)
arpwatch advertises in its description that it comes with

Today's sad holocaust tale comes from Ebi Gabor.
Ebi was only 16 years old when the evil Nazi's aptured her in Hungary. The Nazi's put 80 jews into each box car, and sent them to the death camp of Auschwitz. There was no food or water, and only a single poop bucket in the middle of the cattle car. The jews would drink their own pee just to survive.
When a jew died in the cattle car, the other jews would fight to sleep on the body.
At Auschwitz, Ebi saw people gassed or tortured to death, and killed by dogs.
The jews had no breakfast for breakfast-only coffee. The coffee was laced with medicine to stop the jews from menstruating. 5 jews had to share a single bowl of soup for lunch. For dinner the jews only got a piece of bread.
Miraculously, Ebi survived because her future husband used to throw cheese and sausage to her over the fence. Her future husband somehow got the cheese and sausage to throw to her, even though the jews only got 1 bowl of soup for 5 people. It's even more remarkable that her future husband managed to get the sausage and cheese while they were both in the death camp.
Ebi survived 3 other death camps. Below is a picture of Ebi, 3 months after she was liberated from the death camp where she only had a single piece of bread to eat all day.

gabriel kuri
gabriel kuri
* 1970, Mexico City
Focusing on the objects and space that mediate human relationships, Gabriel Kuri explores the potential for transformation latent in all familiar things and situations when observed from an unconventional angle. Playing with the principles of minimalism and the history of consumption, he integrates elements of everyday life into sculptures and collages. Plastic bags, advertising flyers, receipts and tickets –residues of the interactions that make us human– are brought together with stones, coins and cigarette butts, as well as industrial materials, such as cement, brushed steel and insulation rolls. In his work, the viewer's attention is drawn to the dynamic and unstable space that opens up at the intersection of two opposite concepts, in the precarious and yet precise meeting of the unexpected. The creation of systems is at the base of his artistic practice, ordering different elements until certain patterns begin to emerge and new semantic connections are generated between existing forms and their uses. Often accompanied by idioms and vernacular phrases, his pieces invite a multilayered dialogue between the verbal and the visual. Kuri's work questions the given tenets of contemporary culture, creating poetic juxtapositions and hybrid objects that serve to rethink the mundane, to find the eloquent and the extraordinary in daily life.
Gabriel Kuri was a part of the Taller de los Viernes with Gabriel Orozco from 1987 to 1991. He received his BA in Visual Arts at Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas, unam (Universidad Autónoma de México), Mexico City in 1992. In 1995 he also completed an MA in Fine Art from the Goldsmiths' College University of London, United Kingdom.
His most important exhibitions include: with personal thanks to their contractual thingness, The Aspen Art Museum, Aspen, United States (2014-2015); All probability resolves into form, The Common Guild, 2014, Glasgow, Scotland (2014); bottled water branded water, Parc Saint Leger-Centre d'art contemporain, Pougues-les-Eaux, France (2013); Gabriel Kuri, Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen, Norway (2012); Nobody Needs to Know the Price of Your Saab, The ICA Boston, Boston, United States (2011); Nobody Needs to Know the Price of Your Saab, The Art Museum of the University of Houston, Houston, United States (2010); Soft Information in your Hard Facts, Museion-Museo de Arte Moderna, Bolzano, Italy (2010); Join the Dots and Make a Point, Kunstverein Freiburg; Kunstverein Bielefeld, Germany (2010); Start To Stop Stopping, MUHKA Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen, Antwerp, Belgium (2003); Momento de importancia, Sala 7, Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City, Mexico (2000).

Getting wisdom teeth removed in Melbourne?
Here at Station Square Dental in Oakleigh we can guide you through the treatment options for painful wisdom teeth, including options for their removal.
When wisdom teeth decide to grow (usually between the ages of 17 and 25) they can cause some distress and pain. They are the last teeth to appear in the mouth and normally consist of two in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. Many wisdom teeth will not cause problems at all and may not need to be removed.
Wisdom teeth problems
Wisdom teeth can cause pain for many reasons including pain and trauma of the overlying gum when the teeth are partially exposed, or food trapping due to tilting of the wisdom tooth. You may also suffer from swelling, swollen lymph nodes or glands, fever, and have difficulty swallowing. If this occurs, you can use ibuprofen to relive the pain. Warm salt water will soothe as well. Contact us as soon as possible.
Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Wisdom teeth cause problems when they grow in the wrong position or when the mouth doesn't have enough space for them to come through. If the wisdom teeth are not in a favourable position to erupt than it is more than likely that they will continue to cause infection, crowding and cysts.
We will perform a special x-ray called OPG in order to determine this.
Is it difficult to have wisdom teeth removed?
It depends on the case. Some can be very easy, while some may require an oral surgeon. We will carefully x-ray and examine your mouth to determine the best approach. If we think the tooth is too difficult to remove safely ourselves, we won't hesitate to refer you to someone we believe can do the job.

How do Stem Cells Treat Degenerative Diseases?

How does the use of stem
cells to treat degenerative
diseases affect the metabolic
processes of body cells?
STEM CELLS: non-specialized cells that have two defining properties: the ability to differentiate into other cells and the ability to self-regenerate [1].

What effects does the use of stem cells to treat degenerative diseases have on metabolism?
A degenerative disease is a disease in which the function or structure of the affected tissues or organs will increasingly deteriorate over time, whether due to normal bodily wear or lifestyle choices such as exercise or eating habits. Degenerative diseases are often contrasted with infectious diseases.[4]
Lou Gehrig's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and osteoarthritis...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPS)
cancer of the blood and bone marrow
white blood cells (leukocytes) develop abnormally
in many forms of acute leukemia, the abnormal white blood cells (blasts) accumulate in the bone marrow and prevent white blood cells from defending against disease and infection in the body
requires immediate and intensive treatment
treatment options include chemotherapy, steroids, or haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
chemotherapy is the most effective, unfortunately it damages the healthy blood-forming cells in the bone marrow
haematopoietic stem cells transplants replace the damaged cells
blood-forming and immune cells are collected from the blood / bone marrow of a healthy donor with the same tissue type of the patient to fight the leukemia
adult cells, such as skin cells, are reprogrammed by genes found in stem cells
they are reprogrammed to act as embryonic stem cells, having the ability to develop into all types of specialized cells (man-made)
there is less of a chance of rejection by the immune system
hope to use them in transplantations [3]
Recent studies on metabolism in stem cells have revealed a shift in the balance of glycolysis, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and oxidative stress, during the maturation of adult stem cells and reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency [2]
requires daily insulin injections
pancreatic beta cells damaged by the immune system can no longer produce insulin
instead of pancreas / islet of Langerhans transplants, stem cells could be used
stem cells could be differentiated into beta cells
be used to prevent diabetes
repair the tissues that diabetes compromise over time

Embryonic stem cells have been reported to differentiate into dopamine-producing neurons in culture [1]
Stem cells exhibit precise regulation for self-renewal and differentiation to sustain tissue homeostasis in an organism
This is modulated by metabolic changes and modifications of nutrient-sensing pathways such as mTOR and AMPK

The federal government has not set aside any funds to compensate Canadian dairy farmers affected by the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership, Finance Minister Bill Morneau said Monday.
"As it's not yet ratified, we do not have any sort of contingency in our budget in that regard," Morneau told the House finance committee in response to a question from Conservative finance critic Lisa Raitt.
"We, as I know you've heard us say, we are committed to free trade," Morneau said. "We believe that it's important that Canadians have a role in consideration of the Trans-Pacific Partnership…Those discussions are ongoing, and we think that they've been very fruitful."
Any decisions around TPP, Morneau said, will be taken at a later date.
Canadian dairy, poultry and egg farmers were promised compensation by the previous Conservative government for concessions made under the pending agreement.
The $4.3 billion, unveiled in October, was to be distributed over 15 years and was designed to cover concessions made on supply management under CETA and the TPP.
However, the spending was never authorized by the federal cabinet — which meant the Liberals were not bound by the promise. International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland has since said the $4.3 billion compensation proposal is under review.
No compensation funding was outlined in the Liberals' inaugural March budget.
Morneau's admission comes as the fate of the multi-billion trade deal remains unclear – with all eyes on Washington. The 12-nation trade deal will not become a reality without ratification from the United States, which requires congressional approval. None of the potential presidential candidates has backed the TPP.
The finance minister's remarks also come as the federal government is in discussions with the dairy industry on several issues, including CETA compensation.
Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay promised May 2 to meet with the dairy industry within 30 days to discuss the matter.
MacAulay has repeatedly promised both in media interviews and in the House of Commons that the sector will be compensated.
On Monday, Morneau did not say whether any contingency funds have been set aside for concessions made under CETA – which Freeland has said she expects could be ratified by 2017.
Canadian dairy farmers are set to hold a rally on Parliament Hill on Thursday. A convoy of Quebec farmers, driving tractors, is currently en route to Ottawa for the rally.
While the rally was organized primarily to pressure the federal government on diafiltered milk, concerns about the future of supply management and promised compensation are also expected to be raised.
Morneau will face four hours of questions Monday evening in the House of Commons as part of a committee of the whole.
