- Description
Employing a truly unique two-layer design, the Kelty Tru.Comfort 20 Degree Women's sleeping bag delivers modular warmth and exceptional comfort for 3-season camping.
Kelty's Women's sleeping bag models are cut to more closely follow the contours of a woman's body, maximizing thermal efficiency. Compared to the men's versions, these bags are narrower at the shoulders, roomier at the hips and have extra insulation in the mid-section and foot of the bag, which are prime areas for heat loss.
The bag is insulated with Kelty's ThermaPro, a synthetic insulation that is easy-care and maintains its high-loft softness and insulating properties over time. Unlike down fill, ThermaPro retains most of its insulating capabilities even when wet, making the bag a good choice for overnight adventures wet or damp climates. Both the shell of the sleeping bag and the lining are made of 50D polyester taffeta.
Where the bag really stands out from others is in its layered design. At a glance it looks like a fairly traditional bag, though an innovative zipper that cuts across the face of the bag just above the footbox hints at the Tru.Comfort bag being something out of the norm. When you peel back the top layer, you discover an internal blanket that bolsters warmth when temperatures dip, but can serve as your sole top cover when the mercury rises. Two-way construction on the bag's zipper also creates venting options.
Other features include an insulated oversized, adjustable hood, sleeping pad security loops, and hang loops for convenient storage. A stuff sack is also included.
The Kelty Tru.Comfort 20 Degree Women's sleeping bag fits up to 5' 8".

Right Place to Set Sail – Morris Pan
As a new analyst at MUFG, I was particularly looking forward to the four week product and financial training. This would provide an essential foundation for my future career at MUFG by providing me with the basic financial and professional knowledge to help me succeed.
Throughout the past four weeks, we had lectures, conversations with MUFG business leaders, trading simulations, a trade idea presentation and many social networking sessions. I especially enjoyed meeting my colleagues that come from offices from around the world because it exposed me to new ideas that I may not have thought of on my own.
The class was a great opportunity to discover answers to some questions that have been puzzling me for months. For some of my classmates who didn't have a financial background, they were able to learn about the capital markets businesses and become familiar with the products MUFG offers. Ultimately, we all learned how to recognize appropriate applications for new products and demonstrate how to implement complex strategies with clients. The exams on every Monday were crucial to help us digest the material from the previous week.
We also had business speakers come over every day; some from the London office and some from the New York or Asia offices. We had the opportunity to speak with employees from all levels of the organization; from analysts like us right up to CEO's from all the international offices. We even got to have lunch with the Head of the International Business – how many grads in other organisations can say that they've done that?
Meeting these members of the senior management team really enhanced the training program as it gave us the chance to understand the structure of MUFG, business straregy, client base and international collaboration. Besides this, there were networking sessions after work with MUFG employees. I found this very valuable as I could talk to junior and senior colleagues across the support functions and front office. I am sure the relationships with my colleagues and senior executives will be an asset in the future.

The latest trailer shows off the scale of Walker's newest adventure, and hints at the return of Oscar the automaton, one of the most memorable characters from the original title.

card-length power
as simply zero.four by means of 2.3 by way of three.0 inches (hwd) and 1.eight oz, the t5 is imperceptibly heavier and the same length as its predecessor, the samsung transportable ssd t3. the 1tb ($399.ninety nine) and 2tb versions have a monochromatic black end, even as the 250gb ($129.99) and 500gb ($199.99) capacities are blue. it's plenty greater subdued than the smaller, gold adata se730 outside ssd, and a chunk extra appealing than the noticeably undeniable-looking owc envoy seasoned ex, which has a greater period, but in any other case similar dimensions. all 3 of these drives will fit in a pocket extra effortlessly than the g-technology g-drive slim ssd, a historically sized pressure (0.39 by way of five.08 by means of 3.23 inches). the t5's case is aluminum, and there aren't any shifting components, and it is rated to live on a tumble up to 6.6 feet.
the force connects via usb-c, matching the g-force slim, adata se730, and our present day pinnacle select, the sandisk excessive 900 (the envoy seasoned ex$549.seventy five at amazon uses a legacy micro usb 3.0 port.) like the extreme 900 and g-power slim, the t5 ssd comes with both usb-c-to-usb-c and usb-c-to-usb-3.0 cables, so you can use it with virtually all laptops and computer systems. (the preceding samsung portable t3 ssd and adata se730 don't come with usb-c cables.)

the 2tb generation of the t5 ssd works out to 39 cents in keeping with gigabyte, which is affordable compared with the higher in line with-gigabyte ratio of fifty two cents for the sandisk excessive 900. the g-power slim$379.95 at amazon is comparable at 38 cents according to gigabyte, but our cutting-edge ssd co-champion, the oyen virtual minipro 3.1 usb-c transportable strong-kingdom force, has the fine ratio (29 cents in step with gigabyte at a 1tb ability). to be honest, the minipro three.1$339.00 at amazon is physically larger, extra similar to a computer drive than the smaller se730, t3, and t5. paying a bit greater for the t5's miniature case is really worth it, particularly when you remember it is $50 less than the t3 on the same capacity.
software is relatively sparse. the force consists of the samsung portable ssd software application, which activates and manages the force's integrated aes 256-bit encryption through password, however it is about it. the encryption software program works on android drugs and telephones, macs, and windows pcs. the t5 ssd is exfat formatted, so it's going to work with all three working systems out of the box. samsung backs the power with a three-12 months assurance, which is on par for this elegance of portable ssds. due to the fact that there aren't any transferring elements, there is now not lots that may move wrong.

the t5 ssd controlled remarkable results on the pcmark 7 secondary garage test on the usb-c (5,449 points) and usb 3.0 (5,371) interfaces. that topped the rankings of the sandisk intense 900$459.99 at amazon (4,980), the samsung t3 (four,908), the visiontek usb pocket ssd (four,127), and the adata se730$one hundred twenty.19 at amazon (3,076). the simplest ssd that scored better turned into the sandisk severe 500 (5,649).

Educators and researchers agree that it's generally not worth it to delay kindergarten start time
CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwired - April 11, 2017) - Each year, millions of parents nationwide must make a seemingly life-altering decision for their soon-to-be kindergartener: to redshirt or not to redshirt. "Redshirting," or the act of delaying a student's kindergarten entrance by one year, many parents believe, will give their child time to develop cognitive and social skills that will make him more successful in school. But is redshirting preschoolers really advantageous? In a new article for Education Next, Diane Schanzenbach, an education professor at Northwestern University, and Stephanie Larson, director of Rose Hall Montessori School in Wilmette, Illinois, weigh the evidence and conclude that postponing a student's entrance into kindergarten does more harm than good both academically and socially and that where there are academic advantages, they are short-lived.
Using data from the Department of Education's Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Schanzenbach and Larson find that among parents of the kindergarten class that entered in fall 2010, 6.2 percent delayed their child's entrance into school by a year, with that share 2 percentage points higher for boys than girls. The redshirting rate is higher among children of highly educated parents, with college graduates approximately twice as likely to redshirt their sons as those with a high school degree. The rates are particularly high for boys with summer birthdays. As many as one in five summer-born boys with college-educated parents was redshirted in 2010. (See figure below).
Though it is difficult to isolate the effects of redshirting from those of other characteristics, such as family background, two recent studies that take advantage of either variation in state birthday cut-off dates or the random assignment of students to kindergarten classrooms have enabled researchers to measure the impact of being among the oldest students in a class. Both studies find that a redshirted student is likely to perform better on standardized tests in early grades, simply by virtue of being older, but that this academic advantage disappears by high school.
The authors also consider the influence of peers, noting the research shows that being among the youngest in a class is actually beneficial in both the short and long run. Younger students gain an advantage by learning from and competing with older students, who tend to be higher achieving and better behaved. Meanwhile, a redshirted student may find herself bored in class and socially isolated from less mature peers. Schanzenbach and Larson also note that the perceived developmental delays that often prompt parents to choose redshirting in the spring have often resolved themselves by the fall, when kindergarten begins.
"Both research and experience suggest that the gains that accrue from being an older student are likely to be short-lived," say Schanzenbach and Larson.

'Redshirting' may do more harm than good" is available now on educationnext.org and will appear in the Summer 2017 issue of Education Next, available in print on May 24, 2017.

Pack Rat
August 26, 2009
I am a pack rat. I collect things. So many things I rediscover with a puzzled look on my face, trying to remember why I kept them in the first place. It's terrible.
This trait has spread to my computer as well, as I meander across the internet plane. I visit design blogs on a regular basis, random image sites, bouncing from one place to the other, all the while collecting tons of images. Some folders to contain such images have been named Scary, Bizarre, Koot and Cats among others. It should also be noted I have over 20 gigs of music on this computer. *Sigh* I do love my music tho.
So here are a few random images I found in the 'Scary' folder. Beware, some images may disturb the viewer.

This happened awhile ago but I thought I'd share it anyhow. I spilt my water one day (hit it with my foot) and it formed the most peculiar shape.
It brought thoughts of a certain movie where a man gets hit on the head and becomes obsessed with dolphins. Crazy. It should be mentioned that I am a fan of dolphins myself, been collecting stuffed sea mammals since I was a bebe. Mervin was my favorite, a manatee I got from Florida.

So, a few weeks back Three Speach asked for gamers questions for Evan Wells, and here are the answers. The second part of the interview will follow tomorrow.
Well, that's that on that... It don't sound like Uncharted 2 will hit any time soon. Probably J&D "to play it safe" What a joke.... hope you ANAL LEAKS are happy.
Great interview.
His comments re: ratings were interesting:
"[Q] Best physics in a game, but why not incorporate the rag doll physics on downed enemies? I know they are there, but they only react when you run over them. Nothing happens when you shoot them. What was the reason behind this?
[EW] Actually we had the bodies reacting to bullets all the way up until the last couple of weeks of development. It came down to a ratings issue, and we really didn't think that it was worth the risk of receiving a more mature rating for such a small feature.
[Q] There are beautifully animated fish in the water, but I can't shoot them?
[EW] Same thing here. We had hit reactions and even some death animations for the wildlife in the game but we chose to remove it. It was flagged as a potential issue by the ESRB and it seemed like a small concession to make in order to maintain our "Teen" rating. It may have also affected the rating in Europe."

Update in the 50 tonn category
On the occasion of the Liebherr Information Tour for the International Construction Trade Press was shown new crawler tractor PR 766.
Innovative engine management, proactive power adjustment and Eco mode to optimise machine performance and fuel consumption
Stage IV/Tier 4 emission standards by means of SCR only (without diesel particulate filter)
Work efficiently, safely and comfortably thanks to the continued development of ergonomics
Successful Liebherr drive technology ensures a high level of reliability
With operating weights of between 46,200 kg and 54,200 kg, the PR 766 is the successor model to the successful PR 764. The latest model in the crawler tractor generation is driven by a powerful 310 kW (422 hp) 8-cylinder V-engine.
The diesel unit in the PR 766 embodies the latest generation of Liebherr engine technology and therefore complies with Stage IV/Tier 4 emission standards. In this generation of engines, Liebherr combines emission reduction in compliance with the applicable standards with additional combustion savings in two technological steps.
As a result of the hydrostatic drive in the PR 766, the speed of the diesel engine can be kept constant in practical use regardless of the required load. The unit therefore always runs at the optimum efficient speed. The fact that speed fluctuations are avoided, sets the Liebherr travel drive apart from all other large crawler tractor drive concepts currently available on the market. Essential drivetrain components are developed in-house and optimally coordinated, which increases the efficiency of the system as a whole.
As with all of Liebherr's Generation 6 crawler tractors, the PR 766 comes equipped with the 'ECO function' .

Of all the soaps on the drying racks, this is the one that repeatedly catches our noses.
It's no wonder that the ylang ylang essential oil we use to scent this soap comes from what locals refer to as 'the perfume tree', as the scent has a boldly floral and intoxicating quality reminiscent of that precious scent you might dab behind your ears before a special night out.
Carefully blended from 6 essential oils & resins in total though, the layering and richness of the fragrance goes beyond the lovely Ylang Ylang flower. An unusual and somewhat floral, somewhat green note is lent by the beautiful lime flower, and as for the other notes? Well we won't spoil your enjoyment by revealing all this soap's hidden secrets. Instead, we invite you to let your nose guide you as they open and reveal themselves to you as your bathroom gets warmer and unlocks the many layers and heart of this soap's scent.
The sensorial indulgence of this soap also doesn't end with the nose. The feel of it on your skin as you wash is simply indulgent. The lather rich and smooth, and the feeling it leaves on your skin is one of comfort and relaxation.
Suitable for all skin types (except extremely sensitive), the powerful and wise essential oils used in the soap have a balancing effect on the skin, and leave it neither too dry or oily no matter what your skin type.
Go ahead, indulge your senses.
SIZE: Each soap bar measures approximately 10 x 5.5 x 2.5 cms.
WEIGHT: Each soap bar weighs at least 115 grams.
Being handmade and truly natural, our soaps vary a little in size and colour from bar to bar and batch to batch.

In my courses, I move toward facilitating open inquiry-based, student-centered projects. These projects incorporate research and writing into an overall project that a student pursues as the culmination of their work in a given semester.
As a teacher and adviser, I ask myself, "What can I do to facilitate an
individual's ability to make a substantial, distinctive contribution?"
If I can help facilitate a student's realization of him- or herself as an
outstanding individual who may make a substantial, valuable, distinctive
contribution -- then I feel a great deal of satisfaction.
I find that taking a
student-centered, inquiry-based approach to student research, writing, and
media projects proves successful. As I tell students,
If you ask the research question or pose the problem to be solved, you will find that your writing and critical thinking skills may develop light years ahead of where they would be otherwise. Because the source of the project is you yourself, an automatic self-adjustment may take place for you in regard to the work you are about to tackle. In so doing, whether you are aware of it or not, you may self-position your ability, desire, and openness to knowledge toward something that is or may be distinctive – possibly a writing project that could not have been written by anyone else in the world but you. (Bennett-Carpenter, 2012, pp. 49-50)
I adopt, then, any method or strategy, within reason, that works to
facilitate a student's success. Thus, I employ various approaches from
time to time. These include attention to learning styles, discussion
and seminar-style formats, brief lecture formats, problem-based projects, case studies, experiential and community-based
learning, and the employment of various media environments (Nilson
1998), including online venues. In short, I am a romanticist when it
comes to my belief in the immense potential of every student.
Meanwhile, I am pragmatic about a student's real learning situation and

"Providing Solar Solutions for 23 years" 1300 799 603
Solar Choice Australia provides families & friends - including neighbours and work colleagues, with generous savings when group orders are made.
"Save More with Solar Choice Australia"More Information
A solar hot water system uses the sun's energy to heat your water, instead of electricity generated from coal fired power stations. According to the Australian Government, water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Australian home, accounting for around 28% of home energy use.
According to the Australian Government, a solar hot water system can reduce electricity bills by between $300 and $700 per year. Actual savings will vary depending on location, system capacity and energy/water consumption.
Solar collectors should be placed in an area that is as shade free as possible. If shade falls on your solar collectors, this will reduce the efficiency of your solar hot water system. If shade is only partial or for short periods at certain times of the day, your system will still provide you with hot water.
Solar hot water systems are fitted with a gas or electric booster as a 'back up' to ensure your water is always heated to the correct temperature - even when the sun isn't shining.
The installation of your solar hot water system takes approximately 3-4 hours, and can usually be installed within 2 weeks of order.
Solar hot water collectors absorb heat from the sun to heat the cold water which flows through them. The hot water is then fed into a storage tank. Solar PV electricity panels use sunlight (UV rays) to generate electricity to be used within the home or to feed back to the electricity grid. They are different technologies and operate independently of each other.
The Australian government's renewable energy bonus scheme encourages Australians to switch to energy efficient hot water systems, such as solar hot water and heat pump systems. A rebate of $1,000 is available when you replace an electric hot water system with a solar hot water system, in an existing home.
Applications for the renewable energy bonus scheme rebate can be submitted following the installation of your solar hot water system.
Applicants must apply for the rebate within six months of installing an eligible system.
No, rebates are currently not available for new homes. The renewable energy bonus scheme has been designed specifically to help households replace inefficient electric hot water services.
Yes, the renewable energy bonus scheme rebate is applicable only if the installation address is a principal place of residence, including a principal place of residence for a tenant.
For successful applicants, the rebate will be paid into a nominated Australian bank account within 6 to 8 weeks of receiving a completed application form.
Various state and territory governments offer additional rebates depending on eligibility. See Solar Hot Water Rebates & Incentives.

HD telepresence is an investment showing our continuous commitment to providing innovation in Big Data and Data Science Higher Education from France to all over the world.
We have equipped both of our campuses with telepresence equipment and advanced software, including smart, interactive and digital whiteboards of the latest technology for amazing end-to-end exchange of knowledge.
All off-campus students are given accounts to join the classes.
Whether you live in London, Cape Town, Buenos Aires for early morning classes or New Delhi for afternoon and night classes, you can follow our programmes directly from your laptop in the comfort of your own home (DSL connection required).

Off-campus students are enrolled identically to on-campus students, and receive an enrolment certificate.
Being an off-campus student doesn't require applying for a student visa.
Programme content?
The tuition is identical in both modes, and online students follow classes with their on-campus classmates.
Industrial projects and placements cannot be guaranteed.
Tuition fees
The following tuition fees apply only to students living outside of France.
Online Education students living in France are considered "On-Campus" and therefore the "On-Campus" tuition fees apply.

You can, however, be employed as an intern, under a French Higher Education Internship Agreement, even if you are working abroad, anywhere in the world, knowing that
French Labour Law enforces that an internship cannot be longer than 6 months full-time (12 months part-time) with the same employer.
Two or more internships can be done with different employers.
DSTI won't provide industrial support in finding these internships abroad, but will provide its usual support with administrative processes and liaising with your employer.
Education quality and programme aims*
The high quality of our MSc programmes is our main focus.
Except for support with work placements, no other terms are changing: cohorts are kept small, regardless of being on or off-campus.
All students have the benefits of the Teaching Chairs* as per described on our Partners page.

* Provided you are not subject to any Sanction Programmes of the United States of America which would affect your rights to take these classes and/or examinations.
The application form remains the same, just make sure to select the "OFF CAMPUS" programmes.
Do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions or need extra information.

Learn how to read scientific papers if you should implement the techniques or products mentioned while avoiding the main pitfalls of using this approach to performance.
This episode continues on from a previous show I did based a talk given by Jason Boynton called Finding the truth in endurance sports.
I asked Jason to come onto the show to talk in more detail about how to read scientific papers and reviews in order to gain a better answer to questions on your endurance training. And also how to apply the information from the papers to your own cycling.
Knowing if you should implement the techniques or products into your own cycling is just as important as knowing how to interpret the results of a scientific study or review.
There are plenty of pitfalls to navigate through and Jason does a great job in steering you around these, while also setting up the metal shift that needs to take place when looking for answers to the best way we have to decipher reality.
A bit more on Jason – he is an exercise physiologist, researcher, USA Cycling level 1 certified coach, and elite level cyclist. His educational background includes a Masters in Exercise Physiology from Eastern Michigan University and an honors degree in Cell Biology & Physiology from UW- Whitewater. During his masters degree, he studied under Associate Professor and USA Cycling Faculty member Stephen McGregor.
It is here he laid the groundwork for much of his coaching philosophy. As a researcher, he started working with trained endurance athletes in a lab setting in 2005. This has given him extensive experience and insight working with athletes above and beyond coaching.

The advancement of social media has created changes in our society in how we think and even what we celebrate. I have become aware this fall of the emergence of #GivingTuesday. When I opened up my email this past Tuesday morning, I saw at least 10 references to this particular charitable cause.
But I have a confession to make. Until last month, I had never heard of #GivingTuesday. Park Lawn, a great organization based in Oak Lawn that works to assist mentally and physically impaired individuals, sent us some releases a month ago about #GivingTuesday.
It was not long after that other organizations and schools sent us information of how to donate for various causes they are involved in relating to #GivingTuesday. My initial response after seeing #GivingTuesday was to edit it. I was thinking there must be some typos in there somewhere.
Several of the releases did mention that this day arrives the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. When I learned that #GivingTuesday was in its fifth year, I did not feel so bad. But I never recall hearing about this before. It just seems to have become more popular this fall.
From what I have learned is that #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 at the Belfer Center for Innovation and Social Impact at the 92nd Street Y, a cultural center in New York City. They have been in existence since 1874. The idea behind the organization is to bring people together around the values of service and giving back.
That is where the idea of #GivingTuesday comes from. The Belfer Center and other organizations want to connect diverse groups of individuals, communities and organizations around the world for one purpose – to celebrate and encourage giving. These organizers offered their expertise and launched the idea of #GivingTuesday.
Social media has helped spread the word that apparently has escalated this year. The Belfer Center has referred to this day of charity as a movement. Along with Park Lawn, the staff and students at Mount Carmel High School have become active in #GivingTuesday. While reading about the origin of this day and the expanding resources, my advice is to contact local organizations, such as Park Lawn. This way, you know that donations will help them out.
From what I have read, individuals can donate time and/or funding to assist certain institutions. Businesses and organizations are asked to join in to help. In that regard, I'm all for #Giving Tuesday. How can anyone oppose giving back and philanthropy?
I guess some of us get a little weary when we see these new references. It is difficult enough just to keep up with technology. Now you need a guide book to see what days are set aside for various causes. My initial reaction was to think about people who complain that Thanksgiving is getting squeezed between Halloween and Christmas.
Now you have #GivingTuesday. We have already talked earlier about "Black Friday," which is the day after Thanksgiving in which millions of Americans go to shopping malls looking for deals.
I recall being in college and coming home for Thanksgiving break and going out on Wednesday night, the day before the holiday. The bars were crowded as college kids come home meeting friends from their neighborhoods or from school. Sometimes it was a combination of both. After a couple of years of going out on these nights I realized that everyone seemed to be out.
Well, I guess in my age group at the time many people were out. Kids that were going away to college were off and mostly everyone else was, too. Now I turn on the TV and I see this day is referred to as "Black Wednesday." Without any further explanation, I knew it was in reference to bars and restaurant owners whose cash registers are ringing on this day and night.
When I was in college, there was no reference to Black Wednesday. But I'm all for encouraging consumers to shop at small businesses during this period. Small Business Day is the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I like the idea of reminding shoppers to visit small businesses in cities, towns and suburbs across the U.S. The giant retailers don't always need our help. Small businesses need us and we need them.
And we also have Cyber Monday, which is not been in existence that long. The idea behind this day is to get on your computer or phones and put in your orders for holiday gifts. Since I have not taken part in this phenomenon, I assume there are plenty of deals out there. But I kind of find this day kind of amusing. I mean aren't people supposed to be working on Monday?
Maybe that's why #GivingTuesday, which is the following day, was created. Maybe we need to be reminded the holiday season is about more than just sales.

The "HMRC" Scam
Watch Out – the HMRC Scam is back
Residents are reporting that they are once again receiving scam telephone calls purporting to be from HMRC, and informing them that due to their failure to pay the correct tax they are being taken to Court. The perpetrators then leave a number to call back on. To many of us this is an obvious scam, but to some this could give rise to anxiety and the urge to call back to find out what it's all about.
Just ignore the call. HMRC would not contact you in this way, and who knows what calling back might cost you!
Neighbourhood Watch - Sept 2017
The MET are working hard to keep the public safe and make the streets a hostile territory for criminals who use scooters, mopeds, motorbikes and bicycles to snatch valuables from members of the public.
Operations Officers are conducting targeted operations throughout London and through intelligence-led investigations and operations to prevent and detect moped theft. This includes, among other things, raids on individuals suspected of stealing motorcycles and using them to commit crimes, high visibility patrols in key areas and increased street searches for stolen motorcycles.
Reducing opportunities
Officers are reducing the opportunities for theft to take place in the first place through a combination of approaches - such as making owners aware of what they can do about reducing the thefts - and working with industry and councils to protect, or design the theft options out of the vehicles, reducing the ability of the offenders to use the vehicles in crime; Improving public awareness and protection; and removing markets for offenders to dispose of goods.
There have been concentrated media campaigns for public awareness focusing on distinct victim groups. There has been engagement with Secondhand phone shops, markets, scooter dealers and garages, to improve intelligence and remove locations that will buy the stolen property.
Bringing offenders to justice
The police use intelligence and CCTV to identify linked offences and bring offenders to justice. There is a proactive stance with sting vehicles, targeted operations and a focus on criminal cohort, to reduce high volume offenders. Also working in partnership with Youth Services and third sector groups to discuss diversion opportunities.
How can riders prevent their bikes being stolen?
· Parking: Choose designated parking with a stand and security loop, or if this is not available try areas with lots of people, good lighting and CCTV
· Locks: Use more than one lock, focusing on disc locks and chain locks, fitted tight to the bike and through difficult to remove parts
· Time: When leaving your bike for a long period or overnight, lock it to something secure and use a motorbike cover. At home consider using fitted anchors to secure your bike

Pursuit guidelines
The MPS can and will undertake pursuits in any situation where it is necessary and proportionate to do so. Any pursuit carries risk, and additional safeguards are in place for pursuit of two wheeled vehicles. Only specially trained officers are authorised to engage in pursuit activity and they are supported by a tactical advisor, and a senior officer in our Command and Control centre has oversight.
A driver or pillion removing their crash helmet does not automatically require a pursuit to be terminated and the police will review the risk posed, balanced against the type of criminality under consideration and the additional risk posed to other road users.,

Wimbledon Police Station - Closure
Planned Closure of Wimbledon Police Station
As many of you will have had by now, on the 1st November, the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime announced the result of their engagement consultation regarding the closure of several police stations across the MET, including Wimbledon police Station.
For us in Merton the impact is relatively significant. They have announced the planned sale of Wimbledon Police Stationto release £7m and save £444k pa running costs. However, an important caveat is that this may take up to two years to go through.
The report also announces that the 24/7 front counter provision for Merton will move to Mitcham Police Station.
MOPAC said "While opposition to these proposals was significant, there was no specific proposal set out by respondents which would allow us to revise our plans whilst also meeting the requirements to make significant savings across the MPS estate, and ensure capital receipts are as high as possible."
Borough Commander Steve Wallace made these points:
· We currently respond effectively to emergency and non-emergency Borough calls from Wimbledon – we are confident this would be maintained at Mitcham Station
· Having the 24/7 front office at Wimbledon does work well now – but could also work at Mitcham and logically follows the 24/7 location
Some other important points:
· Mitcham front counter will be refurbished and upgraded
· Actively looking for "DWO hubs" in Wimbledon for officers to work from
· The 'One 'O' Clock Club' site in Wimbledon park is being retained as a DWO hub.
Neighbourhood Watch committee
The neighbourhood Watch committee, who are made up of local neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators, are really keen to hear from anyone who can spare some time to help improve and expand the work we do to help keep Merton safe. You do not need any prior experience, just a keen interest in community safety and the ability to get stuck in and work as part of a team.

American evangelicals can trace their philosophical roots back to John Calvin, and the fingerprints of his theology are evident in our history. His was a particularly engaged form of protest against the papacy. Protestants felt that an intercessory priest and Pope were not necessary; the common person could engage Christ directly, without formal education. Protestants have therefore always been predisposed toward do-it-yourselfism. Calvin added a few of key elements that persist in the DNA of fundamentalism in America.
He introduced the idea of literal readings of the Bible--lacking the organization of the church, the Bible itself took the place of the priest. Since it was an intact text of the literal word of God, anyone who picked it up could use it as a blueprint for religion. Next, he believed in orienting society around the teachings (literal, in his theology) of the Bible. And finally, he introduced a strange doctrine of predestination:
Calvin, on the other hand, built his reformed church on the concept that salvation was not a choice, but was rather pre-decided by God from the beginning of time. This mean that individuals were "elected" for salvation by God; this "elect" would form the population of the Calvinist church.... It was incumbent on churches filled with living saints to only admit other living saints; this organizational principle was called voluntary associations. Voluntary associations are predicated on the idea that a community or association chooses its own members and those members, of their own free will, choose to be a member of that community or association.Falwell's theology, and his interest in merging society, religion, and the church, can be traced back in a pretty clear line to Calvin. In the language that he used and the way he ordered his organization, you can see this old predestination, the eternally damned and saved, populate his world. When he condemned the evil liberals and abortionists who caused 9/11, he was invoking the threat of the damed--and the danger that they brought through their association with good, Godfearing Americans. When some Christians overlook the fetid corruption that infests the Republican Party, they see instead the saved, those who commit small infractions but whose souls remain unstained.
The effect has been the poisoning, not joining, of both church and state. For those not party to this worldview, it is viscious and malignant. Public policy falls outside the realm of discussion--it will either be managed by the saved or damned, and the consequence is of transcendental proportion. That's why the resultant GOP movement was unyielding and disinterested in compromise. It is a purely undemocratic view; why on earth would you ever accede to the will of the damned, the evildoers? It has resulted in binary politics, us or them.
The same has happened in a far less noticed or documented way, within churches. The same kind of certainty and autocracy has taken hold in many churches; for liberal evangelicals, voting GOP is a matter of faith. And when politics become acts of theology, there is very little give in the system. Churches have driven away congregants for what appears absurdly petty: voting for the wrong candidate.
A lot of the invective directed at Falwell was tinged with a kind of certainty he would have recognized. Many are glad he's dead, confident that he was as evil and malignant as they imagine. But although his cultural legacy was most certainly malignant, I'm reluctant to say anything about the nature of a person I haven't met. Let us do him an honor he may not have done for those he disagreed with: let us treat his death with the respect any member of our community is due. It's the liberal thing to do.

I sat with a mom of a struggling son. Sighs of exhaustion and tears of grief crept in and out of the conversation. What is the plan? She asked. I love plans, goals, and achievement, but today that was not the answer. Words roamed my head, remaining silent…… the plan….. The plan is to be fascinated by his strengths, grateful for his tenacity, impressed by his resilience and wowed by his spirit and in awe of his story. The plan is to encourage his small steps while loving him large. Everyday, simply dwell on the great. Never ever lose sight.
The words of advice finally came out. "Be careful who you listen to. Don't worry about what people think. There is no race to finish line. There is no perfect decision or perfect mom. There is no shame in making a mistake. There is time. And maybe try this…..listen to his pain spoken and unspoken in the quiet of the night when all is still and not stirred up.
And when he goes to bed, sit near him and whisper the words you long to say. Share words of love that can enter his restful soul while he isn't struggling through the day. Tell him you are sorry he hurts. That he doesn't have to fit in. Forgive those who hurt him. Forgive yourself. Tell him you love him and you will always do your best. Tell him of his gifts. Share your hopes. Encourage his dreams. Tell him you understand. Tell him anything you have on your heart. Tell him he is enough. Pray for him. Do this every night until you know all is well."
I did this tonight in the quietness of my room, picturing him sleeping, while I spoke to the heavens. Good advice I thought. I wish I had heard it years ago. But today I realize this angel named Beau has taught me well.

It is an amazing and wonderful thing to be able to capture the joy and the emotions for families and couples.

What People Are Saying About C Wagner Photography & Design here and on Yelp:
"We've been so delighted with our pictures. Everyone has commented on what a wonderful job you did. I couldn't imagine having had anyone else do our pictures!" June 2014 wedding clients Aaron + Zemeira
"Thank you so so much. For your words, for your photos, and for your presence. You were such a welcome part of the team. Your energy was perfect. You were there but not in the foreground but you somehow had amazing little things to say that made such a difference at the time... I can't thank you enough for documenting the process. What a birth experience. I feel blessed beyond belief... You're obviously amazing at your craft and you performed it like a dance for our birth and I am so so grateful. What a gift you can give all of us mamas. A chance to see our own story and power through the eyes of another. It gives me chills!!" {Birth Story, 2013}
"Oh my God, these photos are just unbelievably gorgeous! Thank you so much! Please, if you ever need a referral, testimonial, recommendation (are those all the same :), let us know, or let this function as such. You are just an absolute gem. A true artist, giving and perceptive, you have a beautiful spirit and a great eye for capturing the decisive moment. I don't think anyone could have been a better fit for us. Thank you, Noemi" {Engagement Session & Wedding day coverage}
"Cherlyn photographed the birth of my 4th child. She was great, when I look at the pictures I am surprised at the detail and intimacy. She was present without adding herself to the birth experience. I have never had birth photographs done before. I am so very glad I did. There is something amazing about being able to look at those moments frozen in time. The whole birth appears miraculous and sacred. I am incredibly thankful Cherlyn was there. This ended up being my longest and most emotional labor and to have these pictures to look back at re-frames the experience I had, into something of strength and beauty. Cherlyn's talent really shines though and her ability to capture the intimacy and first moment's of my son's journey and life are something priceless. I would invite her again to my birth if I ever have the chance. " - Michelle G. {Birth Story, 2013}
"what a gift for us and everyone you take pics of! thank you!" - Dawn N. {First Birthday Party, 2013}

I have always had dry hair. I think almost everyone who has natural 4c hair has had a struggle with dry hair at the beginning of their hair journey. The reason for this is that at the beginning we don't have the proper products, tools, and technique to achieve well moisturised hair.
Keeping hair moisturized is a crucial part of growing and having natural hair.
The reason we have to keep our hair moisturized is simple, length and health. If you want your hair to grow you have to keep it moisturized. It's a simple concept that many of us fail to understand and execute. If your hair is dry, it will get split ends, single strand knots and will break easily and easy breakage means and you will end up not retaining length and be stuck with a short afro.
There are literally only two things you have to do to be able to keep your hair moisturized, namely deep conditioning and moisturizing consistently
Deep Conditioning
Deep conditioning treatments can literally save your hair. I remember the first time I did a moisturizing treatment I could believe how soft my hair was. I didn't even know it was possible for my hair to be that soft and manageable.
There are two types of deep conditioning treatments, Moisturizing and Protein.
With moisturising, you will have to do it every week preferably or every two weeks but never go past that. The reason for this is because deep conditioners penetrate your hair to make sure it is well conditioned and remains healthy. Some recommended products are Afro Botanics Deep Conditioner or the Native Child Deep Conditioner because they are both affordable and work great.
The second type is protein treatments. These should be done once a month at most if you have limp hair but most of the time natural hair (4c) lacks moisture so protein is only for once in a long while. But the importance is still there because it makes your hair strong and in this way, it won't break easily. A recommended product is the ORS Hair Mayonnaise.
Moisturizing CONSISTENTLY
While you can condition once a week to keep your hair moisturized, you still have to keep adding it to the hair so it doesn't get dry throughout the week. You do this by moisturizing daily if possible.
You do this by using the LOC method which simply means you start with a liquid (leave in conditioner or water based moisturizer), then use in oil (coconut, avocado, grapeseed etc), then a cream (Shea butter). Do it in that order.
Check out Native Child. They have a combo of Shampoo, conditioner, castor oil and shea butter for R239. The best deal ever
Doing it this way will make sure your hair is always moisturized at all times, and moisture = length and health. If you take away one thing from this, just remember to deep condition with moisture.

Shoestring News is No More --long live Shoestring Sally!
After careful thought, I have chosen to rebrand the blog and it's affiliated social media presence across the board as Shoestring Sally. It dovetails more sweetly with the url shoestringsally.com, a custom url I acquired after the inception of Shoestring News and one that has increasingly come to signify what this blog is all about. Therefore, my decision to align my branding with my "Blogger Ego" is very much a natural evolution. I'll have more thoughts on that later, Shoestringers!
Please bear with us during the transition process. You may see the odd "Shoestring News" pop up on the site here and there until everything is nice and tidy again.
Thank you for your continued support.

Are Dads Shirking Their "Home" Work?
By: John Hoffman
The following is an op-ed piece written by John Hoffman, Communications Coordinator of the Father Involvement Research Alliance
Media interest in whether or not fathers are doing their fair share of housework and child care goes back at least as far as 1989. That's when American sociologist Arlie Hochschild coined the term "The Second Shift" to describe the extra load of housework and child care that working moms were doing at home after a full day at work.
This debate resurfaces regularly. In 2013 the Globe and Mail ran a series of articles on housework and work-life balance. Much of the discussion was around whether or not men are doing enough. And in 2012, around the time of Mother's Day, the CBC (and subsequently the Huffington Post) ran a web story with the headline: "Canada's working moms still earning less, doing more than dads."
Among other things, the article stated that Canadian mothers do about twice as much child care as fathers, citing data from a Statistics Canada publication. Again, the implication was that fathers could and should be doing much more home front.
The Paid Work Gap
However, both the CBC and the Globe and Mail, and in fact, most media articles on this topic, fail to take into account one very important fact. Fathers have less time for housework and child care than mothers because, on average, they spend more time at their paid jobs than mothers. This holds true even in dual-income families where both parents work full-time.
The CBC story cited figures from a part of Statistic's Canada's General Social Survey (GSS) which asked parents to estimate the amount of time they spend on various activities. Mothers estimated they spent 50 hours a week on child care, compared to the 27 weekly hours estimated by fathers. However, the Statistics Canada publication which reported the data (Women in Canada: A Gender-based Statistical Report) did not include any information on parent's hours of paid work.
The Parent Work Day
A different part of he GSS, the 2010 General Social Survey on Time Use, asks respondents to report on their main activity at different time points of a single day (the previous day). Figures from the Time-Use survey show that in dual-income families where both parents work full-time, fathers average 1.6 more daily hours of paid work and commuting than moms. Conversely, mothers average 1.7 more daily hours on child care and housework than fathers. If we add paid and unpaid work together, the total workday is about the same length for moms and dads.
Does this mean that the division of child care and housework is perfectly balanced in Canadian families? Not necessarily. But it does show that fathers have less time available for child care and housework than mothers.
Some Parenting Responsibilities Are Hard to Measure
Even so, time-use surveys are not perfect. In truth, parents' child care responsibilities and caregiving tasks are not easily compartmentalized and measured. Moreover there is one area in which most people would agree that mothers bear a greater load than fathers: keeping track. "The scheduling and planning of family life falls almost exclusively to mothers. That's very clear in research that I've done, and other research that I've seen," says Kerry Daly, retired dean of the University of Guelph's College of Social and Applied Human Sciences and former chair of FIRA's research project. Daly, a sociologist, has studied father involvement and family time. "It's very hard to measure the keeping track aspect of mothering because it is not a separate activity," he says. "It's layered on top of all the other things mothers do."
It's also fair to say that the keeping track function of parenting and household management is not easily shared, so we may need to move a little farther down the road of gender role convergence before fathers and mothers learn how share these less measureable responsibilities along with the concrete daily tasks of raising children and maintaining a household.
In the end, the complexities of father/mother role sharing will be sorted out in individual families, not the media. For those who feel compelled to continue debating these issues in public forum, at least take into account all the facts. And the one reality that keeps getting ignored is that fathers work longer paid hours than mothers, and so they have less time available for domestic work. To read more about fathers, mothers, work, child care and household chores, read "Are Dads Pulling Their Weight at Home?"
More facts about Canadian fathers can be found in our About Father Involvement section.
