The REAL Centre has been created to promote discussion and debate about how technology and furniture can support learning and as a space for experimentation for teachers, with or without their students and product developers. We are planning to do some Oxfordshire meetings here in the future, watch the Harnessing Technology newsletter to find out more!
The whole area is split into five learning zones, each equipped with tools and furniture to demonstrate versatility and total integration of ICT with learning and teaching.
1 - Communication Zone
The focus of this space is on developing communication skills with students of differing abilities including PMLD and sensory work. The whole area is built around the most up to date touch screens and height adjustable plasma screens (driven by infrared to match existing wheelchair technology), and had light beams, voice and modern switch activation. The idea is that instead of having a sensory room as we have in many of our special schools now, the whole building becomes an immersive, learning playground. It has height adjustable tables that can be placed in a horseshoe configuration with 45 degree tables that enables staff to engage directly with four students, so aiding concentration. It has multi-sensory seating allowing for positioning and integrated sensory activities. It has technologies that encourage students to communicate using the full range of senses we played with a computer driven totally by eye movements. This computer made social contact through e-mail so easy!
2 - Creative and Media
This area shows and example of how a classroom space can be re-organised for practical and creative activities. It has individual tables and chairs that can easily be cleared and stacked by students to create space for other activities. Six of us sat at a hexagonal arrangement of individual tables, we all had plenty of room but still actually took up very little space. The table and chair units can be moved to sit over the electrical boxes in the floor, so that power and cabling needed are already in the floor and the table unit is simple plugged in. This area includes a green screen video creating area with the pop-up background and cover providing as much or little exposure as required on the video clip. The green screen lens will fit any camera so it is quite versatile. We watched how a group of children had created an Amazon news report and placed themselves against a tropical backdrop showing the river and animals. The video and stop motion animation can be used across the curriculum to develop a creative and motivational approach to learning. There was also a music keyboard and headphones to create soundtracks for videos and podcasts, unfortunately this was Apple and Garage Band, most of our schools currently do not have access to Apple computers, it is a pity that nothing OC was added to the area. There was also an opportunity to create podcasts here.
3- Open Learning Area
This area demonstrates an open and flexible space that can be reconfigured to cater for a range of different activities to support project based and collaborative learning. There is a table where groups of students can work collaboratively on the same activity; this can be moved to anywhere there is an electrical box built into the floor. It has the most amazing new type of interactive board, built on an old but much improved technology – an e-beam! The board is a table with integrated ultra short throw projector, it can be raised or lowered by a simple winding mechanism, it also can be used as a vertical platform as well as flat table. The e-beam, fitted at one corner enables complete interactivity, the small laptop shelf remains in place at the same orientation so that the laptop can be left in place and connected while the board is changed to a table and visa versa. We could have stayed for hours studying Google maps – a whole group of us around the table looking at and discussing geographical images!
This area also had a mobile presentation and seating area with step seats used to create a pleasing support forum style debate, discussion and interaction horseshoe shaped arrangement. The back of the steps includes an internal resource storage which could have built in laptop charging facility. Once again it uses the project table as an interactive / projection screen and has the capability for using voting pads built in.
In the middle of the area is a Video diary room. This air conditioned pod can be as large or small as required featuring digital and video camera and audio. It is air conditioned and sound proofed, is constructed of clear panels as well as brightly coloured panels, it enables one to ones or group work. Pupils could do a quiet or noisy activity without interrupting the whole class. Teachers could do pupils briefings without having to worry about child protection issues they are very visible the whole time.
4 – The Da Vinci Studio
This area is a hub for practical, exploratory and creative activities that enables students to develop their expertise with hands on learning and problem solving. It is made up of a demonstration area that incorporates an interactive whiteboard and visualiser which can display objects in real time. The Teacher wall is very good, it is a standard IWB on the wall with cupboards built underneath, these have built in laptop charging facilities. To the left of the IWB there is a partition screen that one can pull out to form a partition wall but in this case it is also a projection screen. This areas has project tables for practical work that can easily re-configured, a range of LEGO® Education resources to support practical and problem solving learning incorporating machines, mechanisms and robotics and science resources including data loggers and microscopes listening activities that can be separate pod that incorporates data and audio activities or informal meetings video, mp3 recording devices.
5. Independent working area
This area gave ideas for equipment for students to work on their own or in groups. It had an oval sofa seating unit with integrated power. The orbital desks enable pupils to work alone or pull them up together for group working. The seats swivel so from anywhere in the room pupils can look at the teacher. As soon as the pupils sits at the desk the chair locks into place.

I got this dress last minute for a birthday party. I was a little worried with sizing. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the dress. The material is on the thicker side so it's perfect for this season. It's hugs in all the right places. I'm 5"5, 175 lbs & I got a size medium. The length is great. I got compliments all night & caught a few guys staring. :-)

Be Your MC, Master of Ceremonies
To capitalize on the energy of the keynote and the humor Allan brings to his talks, Allan can be the master of ceremonies throughout the entire meeting. This keeps the energy, consistency and fun everyday.

The five places inducted last week into the Chestnut Hill Historical Society's Architectural Hall of Fame are now forever a part of the neighborhood's rich and diverse historical past.
The CHHS created the Hall of Fame in 2015 to honor the places in Chestnut Hill that are both historically and architecturally significant. This year 10 places were nominated, and more than 1,400 votes from the general public decided the winners, which were announced at a sold-out cocktail gala at the historic home of Hill residents Karen and Jeff Regan. This year's inductees are as follows:
• Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania
• Chestnut Hill Fire Station
• Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields
• Krisheim
• 614 St. Andrews Road
The winners join last year's Hall of Fame inductees, which include: the Thomas Mill Covered Bridge (originally built 1731), Gravers Lane Station (Frank Furness, 1883), the Wissahickon Inn (G.W. and W.D. Hewitt, 1883-84), the Margaret Esherick House (Louis Kahn, 1960-61) and the Vanna Venturi House (Robert Venturi, 1962-64).
To join such an historical and important list of places and architects is for this year's inductees, then, an honor of the highest degree. Below are their reactions to being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
The Chestnut Hill Fire Station, 101 West Highland Avenue
The Chestnut Hill Fire Station was designed in 1894 by architect John T. Windrim in the Richardsonian Romanesque-style. The building is the oldest active fire house in Philadelphia and was added to the city's Register of Historic Places by the Chestnut Hill Historical Society in 2014. Windrim, along with others, also helped design the Franklin Institute.
Engine 37 Captain Timothy Gough told the Local that having the building inducted into the Hall of Fame brought pride and delight to the members of the historic fire house.
"The officers and members of this historic firehouse were honored to accept this great award from the CHHS," Gough said. "The members of Engine 37 take great pride in being one of the cornerstones of this tight knit community. We love being involved with many events and activities throughout this neighborhood. Tradition and history is important in the fire service and the work that the historical society is involved with helps keep this area rich in history and traditions."
Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, 8000 St. Martin's Lane
Designed by G.W. and W.D. Hewitt and built by William C. Mackie for Henry Howard Houston in 1888, the High Victorian Gothic Church was a part of Houston's planned development, Wissahickon Heights. Houston intended the church to be the center of the Chestnut Hill community, which at the time was beginning to grow both in space and residents. Theophilus P. Chandler Jr. added a baptistery to the church in 1889 and a new chancel in 1901, and in 1894 the Hewitts designed the church's choir room. The interior on the church was restored to its original appearance in 2000.
Natalee Hill, the associate for communications and administration at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, said that having the church inducted into the Hall of Fame has validated what the church has sought in the past and will continue to seek in the future: being an integral part of the community.
"This honor solidifies our connection to the past, our regard in Chestnut Hill's present, and looks forward to our place working in, with, and for the community and the world into the future," Hill said. "This recognition allows us the opportunity to say that we are open to all, at any place in your spiritual journey. Whether simply to admire a piece of Chestnut Hill's past, or to participate in its future. We look to the buildings in the Hall of Fame to remind us where the community has been and where it needs to go next."
Hill said the church is "a key part of the founding of this entire community."
"I believe that Houston intended to project that awe inspiring and welcoming spirit and certainly we continue to strive toward that here at St. Martin's and across Chestnut Hill," Hill said. "It is also a space where, for over 125 years people of Chestnut Hill and the surrounding area have come together and shared their deepest sorrows and greatest joys."
Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, 100 East Northwestern Avenue
Morris Arboretum was designed in 1887 by American architect Theophilus P. Chandler Jr. as the summer home for brother and sister John and Lydia Morris.
Previously known as "Compton," the Victoria-style estate features a varied landscape that includes a fernery, a rose garden, a swan pond and a Japanese overlook. The Morris' traveled the world and brought many ideas, ascetics and plants back to their estate and infused them into the architecture as well as the abounding natural landscape.
In 1890 Chandler founded the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, and over 40 years later, in 1932, in would become known as the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is also the official arboretum of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Krisheim, 7638 McCallum Street
Built for Henry Houston's daughter, Gertrude Woodward, and her husband, Dr. George Woodward, Krisheim was designed by the architectural firm of Robert Swain Peabody and John Goddard Stearns Jr. and completed in 1912. The landscape surrounding the property had been in the works for a decade before the house was even built, with the Olmsted Brothers firm working on its designs. The Tudor-Jacobean building was the Woodward's family residence for almost 50 years before it became a religious retreat in the 1960's and 1970's. Later on the home was split into apartments, but is now being restored to its original form by the Woodward family.
Chris Meyer, of Dennis F. Meyer Inc. & Meyer Woodworks Inc., which own the property, said it is "a tremendous honor and privilege for Krisheim to be inducted in the CHHS Hall of Fame."
"Krisheim embodies the spirit of Chestnut Hill and the golden age of architecture in America," Meyer said. "The mansion is a marvel of craftsmanship and planning. The iron work from Samuel Yellin graces all of the windows and doors. The meticulously chiseled Wissahickon schist and limestone adorn the inside and out. The finest quarter-sawn white oak flows throughout the house, with the figured ribbon pattern jumping off the floors and wall paneling. The famous Mercer tile is preserved throughout, as if it was installed only a few years ago. Krisheim is a living example of the culmination of every craftsmen working together to create a sum that is greater than all of its individual parts combined."
The importance of the CHHS and its Hall of Fame can not be understated, Meyer said, adding that the Hall of Fame is "a great way to showcase the pinnacle of great craftsmanship and architecture."
"It is extremely important to bring together the community to celebrate the wonderful architecture that brought all of us to Chestnut Hill," he said. "We are all stewards who are responsible for preserving every detail that makes each and every home unique."
614 St. Andrews Road
The most modern place this year to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, 614 St. Andrews Rd., was designed by owner and architect Elie-Antoine Atallah along with his firm, Studio of Metropolitan Design. The house, completed in 2013, features natural wood, brick and glass interiors and exteriors, a stormwater management system, and planting that is local to Pennsylvania. The goal, Atallah said, was to mesh facets of modern architecture with the traditional and classic aesthetics of Chestnut Hill.
Being added to this year's Hall of Fame was "quite stunning," Atallah said, and also a reflection of the community's ability to appreciate quality architecture, be it classic or modern.
"Having a new, modern house being appreciated by the neighborhood is only to prove that the neighborhood is not as fuddy-duddy as most people make it to be, and the fact that people are open to new ideas and new architecture is fantastic," Atallah said. "And being in the same league as the Esherick House and the Vanna Venturi House is phenomenal."
Atallah said he and his firm wanted to design the home to keep the footprints as small as possible on the site. He said there were various zoning restrictions due to the site's slope and the presence of the Wissahickon Watershed, which led to him installing a new stormwater management system in the front yard which uses existing paths to filter the water back to the Wissahickon. To further echo the surrounding natural environment in the designs, Atallah said almost all of the plantings on the property are native to the area, from the trees all the way down to the grass.
"The wildlife depends on native species," he said. "The songbirds, the bees, the insects are all local and related to that same ecosystem, so we tried to preserve that."
Speaking of the Hall of Fame, Atallah said that having an institution like the CHHS is what helps the community bond over common issues as well as its love of architecture. He said the CHHS is important for many reasons, but its dedication to preserving the environment, nature and character of the neighborhood, in tandem with its willingness to take bold steps into the future, is something that he finds "amazing."
"It's very nice to acknowledge that there are wonderful buildings designed by Peabody and George Howe, and by preserving them we can see many examples of good architecture and good environments throughout the ages," he said. "And by recognizing both old and new places and buildings, we can answer the question: 'What are we leaving behind for the next generation, what is there for them to look at to see not only what happened in the early-19th century, but also the 21st century?"

In the Rebels first game at home in a regional, Ole Miss kicked things off in emphatic fashion. The Rebels used two big innings to run-rule the Salukis in five innings and advance into the winners bracket game against Arizona State to begin the day on Saturday. Kaitlin Lee delivered another gem to shut out Southern Illinois while Kylan Becker led the way at the plate to help Ole Miss coast to an 8-0 regional victory.
Key Moment: After a quiet first inning, the Rebel bats came to life and put the game to rest in the second inning. A Miranda Strother walk followed by a Kaylee Horton double set the Rebels up with one out to grab the early lead, and Ole Miss took advantage of the opportunity. Courtney Syrett dropped down a perfect bunt to bring the first run of the game in on the squeeze play, and that opened the flood gates in the inning. Paige McKinney knocked in another run with an RBI single. The Rebels would proceed to load up the bases with two-outs, and Kylan Becker would deliver in a big way. A bases-clearing triple opened the lead up to 5-0, and Ole Miss would never look back. With a pitcher like Kaitlin Lee on the mound, that was plenty of runs.
Player of the Game: Kylan Becker. She came up with runners on base, and she made Southern Illinois pay by breaking the game wide open. The sophomore tallied a bases-clearing triple as well as an inside-the-park home run to drive in a career-high five runs and give Rebel ace Kaitlin Lee plenty of breathing room.
Numbers of the Game: When Ole Miss had opportunities to score, the Rebels took advance. In five at-bats with runners in scoring position, Ole Miss came through with a hit four times. On top of that, the Rebels managed a runner on third with fewer than two outs twice. Both times that runner crossed the plate. The offense was extremely efficient with the eight runs on eight hits.
On the mound, Lee didn't give the Salukis much of anything. She only allowed four hits in her five innings of shutout work and all of them were singles. Southern Illinois only managed two at-bats with runners in scoring position and came up empty both times.
Quotable: "It's a great day to be a Rebel," Ole Miss head coach Mike Smith said. "Wow, how electric was that crowd tonight? We're excited. It was a great game that Southern Illinois played tonight. They're a very good team. The score didn't indicate how good they are. They're a scrappy team. That's a good pitcher there. They attacked Kaitlin early. They had a really good game plan. They sat on the changeup. We swung the bats pretty well tonight. We're excited about being able to play in the confines of our complex. Hotty Toddy."

|I have 2 large dogs and I have planted things in my backyard and nothing survives. I have no grass anymore. Do you have any suggestions to what I can to do to try to have a yard that is half way decent?
|Dogs are pretty hard on any turf or groundcovers. In order for the lawn to recover, you will need to fence off the damaged areas for a while to keep traffic off. The only other alternative is to use a pet-friendly artificial turf in the area. There are many types to choose from and some have an amazingly natural look. For options, do a web search on synthetic turf.

As a follow up post to my previous Petit Monde blog entry, lemme share with you this one very fine dress that really captured my sense of style and taste. I just so love it that I think it's what I'm gonna wear in our company's upcoming year-end party. (Though, before spending on stuff this holiday season, particularly on those that you plan to wear in parties or give as gifts to friends and loved ones, please do give to the victims and survivors of Typhoon Yolanda as well. Thank you.)
Here. Take a look.
Guess which one?
This one!!! Don't you just love it? I love the fluidity of this dress. I think the print looks fabulous, too. I believe I will look good in it. CHOZ!
Kudos to this model. She rocked it. The dress didn't swallow her. She owned it. She pulled it off excellently.
I wish I can also do the same.
See? The dress really stands out. As far as I'm concerned.
Take a look at the rest of Petit Monde's Spring Summer 2014 collection.
The red one looks chic, too. But I don't think it'll fit on me.
I'm so gonna own you!
I love that dress so much.
That's all. Thank you.
♥ Mwah! ♥

This story originally appeared in The Produce News and is reprinted with permission. All rights reserved.
An industry friend called me not long ago and told me about his recent store visits. He explained that his trip took him to seven supermarkets and every one of the produce departments looked the same. They all had the usual displays of bananas, lettuce and apples. He claimed that he did not see anything new or different.
This conversation got me thinking. If he didn't see a difference, what did the customers see? What variations do departments need to make people stop in their tracks and draw their attention?A cut fruit and juice section is one way that a retailer can differentiate itself from its competition.
In this day and age, retailers need to differentiate their produce departments from their competition. While most departments have a nice appearance, they are all too common with the same displays, same advertising, same product line and the same basic operating programs. The problem with this similarity is it doesn't reflect any distinctive personality.
Shoppers rarely take note of the displays around them. That's mainly due to the fact that the produce departments are all too generic for them. When nothing is new, different or exciting, a shopper's focus becomes blurry. They tend to just pick up a few basic everyday items and make their way to the registers. They are not motivated to make extra purchases.
Display presentation has always been the main reason for drawing customers into the produce department. The way produce looks is oftentimes more important than the items being sold. Produce merchandising is an art and a science.
In order to capture a customer's attention these days, the produce department must provide a great shopping experience. People admire uniqueness and something that pops out at them while walking through the department. That uniqueness must grab a shopper's attentiveness in a split second. Once his or her senses are captivated, they can become easily influenced into making additional purchases. That uniqueness will also stick in their minds and turn them into devoted customers.
What characteristic do you have that is different from your competition? Is it unique? What is it that you want your customers to see in a split second?
Research studies have shown that 64 percent of purchase decisions made by shoppers occur while they are inside the stores. This means that something triggered customers to buy specific items right on the spot. Most had no preplanned intentions of making those purchases. Those were impulse sales generated by displays that were extraordinary.
Produce departments can capture the attention of customers with specialized displays that are also unique. These displays are called "Signature Sections."
A Signature Section is defined as a prominent niche that identifies an exceptional characteristic similar to a brand. These sections are special classification "departments within the produce department."
Types of Signature Sections include mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, fresh-cut fruit, fresh-cut vegetables, value-added salads, fresh herbs and fruit baskets. These sections are similar to family groupings of items, except they are enriched with visual elements of enhancement. They are driven by the number of varieties and choices that attract customers to the displays.
In produce, the differences between competitors comes down to who has the edge in the marketing area. Find a way to differentiate your produce from your competition. Signature Sections can give you that edge with niche merchandising vs. the common mainstream. The biggest challenge today is to define the niche that your produce operation does better than the competition.
The main components of Signature Sections are:
Make merchandising the focal point
Create state-of-the-art displays, showcase the product items within the overall display window, and use superior workmanship.
Go all out
Offer every available variety and choices in the section; carry all sizes of packages and bulk. For example, display 15 to 18 different pepper choices rather than just eight, and present up to 25 various types of tomatoes in bulk and packages. Handle anything and everything your competition does not carry.
Attract with colors
Produce is known for its dramatic colors, and the use of blended colors can be very effective in capturing customer attention.
Communicate persuasively
Post overhead descriptive signs above sections for identification and use informative selling signs that educate shoppers about the product.
These should be exceptional sections that are vibrant and picturesque. Make sure to frame your Signature Sections like masterpiece paintings hanging in a museum expressing uniqueness. When you do this, people will remember you as being different rather than common like your competition.

Mass Women's Demonstration on 8th March 2017 – Houses of Parliament LONDON
The Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) Campaign is organising a protest demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament in London, on the 8th March 2017.
The event aims to highlightto the wider public the hardship and unfairness suffered by women born in the 1950s, on or after the 6th April 1951, as a result of the Government's alterations to the State Pension Age (SPA) and, in particular, the lack of notice given to the changes, by the Department for Work and Pensions.
WASPI does not object to the increase in the women's SPA, but represents a cohort of women who have been unfairly disadvantaged by the speed of the increase, compounded by the absence of notice provided by successive Governments. In many cases, this has resulted in enormous hardship, with devastating consequences to them and their families.
A Coach is running from Plymouth, picking up at Newton Abbot/Trago Mills, Exeter, Tiverton / Honiton

Synopsis :
From the Academy Award®-nominated team of director Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.") and co-director Bob Peterson comes "Up," a comedic adventure taking off (and lifting spirits) in summer 2009. Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. "Up" takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures. When seeking adventure next summer – look "Up."
Summary :
A young Carl Fredrickson meets a young adventure spirited girl named Ellie. They both dream of going to a Lost Land in South America. 70 years later, Ellie has died. Carl remembers the promise he made to her. Then, when he inadvertently hits a construction worker, he is forced to go to a retirement home. But before they can take him, he and his house fly away. However he has a stowaway aboard. An 8 year old boy named Russell, whose trying to get an assisting the elderly badge. Together, they embark in an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain and a rare bird named Kevin.
During the show, we are given a chance to experienced the movie in 35mm digital print in few minutes. Basically i felt the 35mm color was warmer while d normal 1 was kinda harsh. Anyway what can i say from this movie? i give my thumb UP for this movie! It is nice and worth to watch. There are few scene that touched my heart which is the moment and adventures Fredrickson and Ellie spend together till d end where Ellie pass away.
And guess what? is totally not logic that a thousands (or billions?) balloon could support the house weight and gravity force and cause d house float to d air. Oh well, it was alwiz my dream to own a flying house =P
In the movie as well, i love Russel, Kevin and the brown dog (forgot it's name) character. The character was well develop and kevin is so cute! Same goes to the brown dog when he kept holding Kevin leg and said "pls be my prisoner"..hahaha
Overall, i love the movie story and development except some part that doesnt make sense at all which is the balloon can make d house fly, that old man Fredrickson already 70+ years old but still manage to run so fast and pull a house and din injured at all.
Anyway, great movie!! Thanks to Tim, Nuffnang and all Bloggers i met last nite =)

Many people visit Batam for business-related purposes, while others make weekend trips to the resorts. These short-stayers usually lack the time to explore the city's culture, food or points of attraction.
Here are five must-try and easy-to-find local delicacies that you can consider, so that you will not miss out on Batam's culinary delights.
Mie Lendir or Mie Rebus Kuah Kacang
If you are staying in the Nagoya area, this dish is recommended, despite the less-than-appetizing name.
Mie lendir (slimy noodle) owes its name to the thick gravy, made originally from fried peanut and herbs such as galangal, ginger, garlic and red onion. Slimy as it may be, the taste is sweet and creamy.
The yellow noodles and bean sprouts are boiled together with egg. Mie lendir is served with sliced chilli padi on the side.
Kedai Kopi In Star serves this noodle dish daily, priced at 8,000 rupiah (S$0.91). It is open from 6 am till 11.30 pm. Best to go early before the dish is sold out, thanks to its pocket-friendly price.
Ayam Bawang
This local dish, rich in garlic, is so famous that it is available on most menus in the city's restaurants. The fried-chicken dish is crunchy and salty, without being too oily. The blend of garlic and chicken is almost impeccable. Ayam bawang is best eaten with chilli sauce and warm rice.
The price ranges between 30,000 rupiah and 70,000 rupiah, depending on whether you want a whole or half a chicken.
One of the best ayam-bawang dishes is served in Xiang Xiang restaurant in the Baloi area. It opens for dinner from about 5 pm to 10 pm.
Ba Kut The
The Singapore influence in Batam is evident in this dish, perhaps because locals are attempting to cater to the many Singaporeans who visit during weekends.
Ba kut teh, which contains pork ribs, is a good dish for one of those rainy days when you are feeling slightly unwell. The soup is rich in herbs and spices and looks dark because of the soya sauce. It is usually served with cakwe (you tiao – Chinese fried bread sticks) to dip in the soup.
You can find ba kut teh in many food courts in Nagoya or Penuin. So far, the best ones serving the fare are the Shuang Hong restaurant in Nagoya Hill Mall and Mickey Mouse restaurant in Penuin.
The price ranges between 30,000 rupiah and 50,000 rupiah.
Sup Ikan Batam
Batam is known for its fresh and cheap seafood. One of the must-try seafood treats is the Batam fish soup. It is usually available in two options – just fish or mixed seafood. The fillet used is from the snapper. If you order the mixed variety, it comes with fish balls and shrimps.
The clear soup has a strong and rich fish stock. Those that have no problem with this sort of aroma will find the soup very fresh and tasty.
Try it at the famous Yong Kee restaurant or Sup Ikan in Penuin food court.
The price ranges between 30,000 rupiah and 50,000 rupiah, depending on the portion.
Whether you ordered them, otak-otak is usually served as snacks or appetizers when you are waiting for your food at an eatery. This finger food is made from mackerel mixed with egg, sago flour, garlic and coconut milk. It is usually wrapped in banana leaf and grilled before it is served.
The variety in Batam, unlike many variants in Indonesia, is slightly yellow in color because the mixture contains chilli paste. However, it is not that spicy. Otak-otak is usually served with peanut sauce.
The price for each otak-otak is 2,000 rupiah. One portion of this appetizer usually contains five pieces, but it is your choice to finish them all or just a few. The restaurant will usually just charge you for the ones you ate. – The Jakarta Post

Employment Racial Discrimination: Have You Been Discriminated Against?
Employment racial discrimination occurs any time an employer treats an employee or an applicant differently than other employees due to their race. Whether it's because of the color of their skin or their national origin this practice is illegal in all 50 states.
Other Considerations
Racial discrimination can also be considered when the spouse of someone who is of different ethnic origin is treated differently, or someone who associates with someone of a different ethnicity is treated differently, this can include being associated with an ethnic group as well.
The Perpetrator
The victim of racial discrimination may even be of the same ethnic origin of the person inflicting the discrimination.
Any employee can be guilty of discrimination. It doesn't have to be the supervisor or boss it can be a co worker or even a delivery person that comes to the building.
The Law
The law clearly states that it is illegal to harass a person due to their race or nationality. Forms of employment racial discrimination may include any of the following:
Racial slurs
Rude or derogatory comments in regards to a person's race
Displaying of racially offensive symbols (this includes clothing items as well as tagging personal property, lockers and other items)
If at any time a person is offended by a comment or symbols and has asked the other party to stop such behavior and it isn't stopped, it's considered harassment and is illegal if it continues. If the behavior results in the person of different race being fired or having a problem at work (demoted or put on tasks not associated with the job position) then it is considered harassment and discrimination. If the offending behavior makes the employee uncomfortable, its discrimination according to the law.
Employers Responsibility
Employers are supposed to make work a safe environment for everyone regardless of their race. Sadly, this often isn't the case.
Job positions must be open to any applicant regardless of race. Pay scale must be the same for the job positions regardless of the person's race. Advancement must also be available to all employees regardless of race.
Learn More
Employees that file charges of racial discrimination may not be retaliated against. Employers can be fined further if this happens. Employees who have filed charges may not be fired, demoted or otherwise harassed during any of the proceedings.
How to File if You Are the Victim
If you are the victim of employment racial discrimination, you may file at the EEOC website free of charge. You must make this filing within 180 days of being harassed or up to 300 days depending upon the state in which you are residing at the time of discrimination. You don't need a lawyer but you may wish to seek counsel and know your options if you have been discriminated against.
If you feel you have been discriminated against due to your race you can go to EOCC.gov for more information or to file your complaint against an employer.
Thank you and May God bless you!

Would you trade to prove you were right? Many brokers encourage you to keep on trading until you win big. That is because they make money every time you trade. However, this is not how Invest Diva graduates operate. If you are already enrolled in our education course, you would know that you should avoid placing an order if the market doesnt fulfill the Invest Diva Diamond Analysis 100%. If you are wondering what Im talking about, use your Thanksgiving holiday wisely and enroll in our Premium membership to learn all the secrets of currency trading in less than five hours.Last week we talked about different scenarios and trading strategies for US dollar vs. Canadian dollar. On Wednesday, we didnt see the confirmations that we were looking for in either direction, and the Ichimoku lines were still in consolidation mode. I didnt find enough evidence for my analysis and as a responsible trader, I let go of my ego and avoided the trade. On Thursday though, we saw an upward jump in the pair and Fridays market movement confirmed our uptrend scenario. But I didnt want to enter a trade on a Friday evening right before the market close because I wanted to avoid a Sunday evening open market surprise. Instead, I waited until Sunday evening EST, re-checked with all points of the Invest Diva Diamond Analysis, and entered a buy position at 1.05221 where the pair confirmed above the triangle and broke above the 0 level fibo. I set my limit order to take profit at a previous resistance level at 1.05678. Cha-ching!To learn more about responsible trading, enroll at the Invest Divas video education course today.

Winning a court case in Louisiana does not guarantee that you will receive the money owed to you, and collecting your court-mandated judgment can be a daunting task. As a creditor, if you violate federal debt collection laws laid down in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) you can find yourself on the defendant's stand. Meanwhile if you are a debtor, these laws can protect you from a collector unduly harassing you.
In a local case that illustrates the hazards of debt collection, in 2012 Don Wetherington and his wife filed suit in a New Orleans federal court against a debt collection agency for trying to collect his debt in a way that violates federal law. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants went to Wetherington's place of employment and left a printed note on the door that was visible to coworkers and that constituted a "prohibited third-party communication." The plaintiff also claims that the creditor tried to intimidate him into paying the debt using a loud and aggressive tone.
Weatherington accused the defendant of the violating the FDCPA, invading the plaintiffs' personal privacy, and intentionally inflicting of emotional distress.
Restrictions when Pursuing a Debtor: DON'Ts and MUSTs
There are a number of ways you can try to contact your debtor, but the FDCPA only sets out the guidelines for what you can't do, as well as what you must do, in order for your debt collection attempts to remain legally valid.
Here are some of the things you can't do:
- Continuing communication after the debtor tells you to stop or indicates a refusal to pay
- Repeatedly or continuously telephoning the debtor or call them outside the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time
- Contacting a debtor known to be represented by an attorney
- Threatening arrest or lawsuit or using abusive or profane language
- Using deceit, such as representing yourself as an attorney or law enforcement agent
- Publishing the debtor's name on a "bad debt" list or reporting false information on the debtor's credit report
Here are some of the things you must do:
- Identify yourself as a debt collector, as well as the name and address of the creditor, and notify the debtor that any information they give will be used to collect the debt
- Notify the debtor that they have the right to dispute the debt
- Provide verification of the debt if requested by the debtor
Keep in mind that the FDCPA does not apply to third-party commercial collection agencies, which are regulated instead by strict rules required for certified membership in the Commercial Collection Agency Association (CCAA). If the collection agency is not a CCAA member, they are not subject to the CCAA rules, and it is up to you to make sure that your creditor is playing fair.
Turn to Legal Specialists to Resolve Your Debt
The laws of debt collection are complex, and justice can only be served for both parties when you know and follow your federal and state guidelines. Contact the business law attorneys at Smiley Law to make sure that your debts are resolved.

What is it about the Lensbaby?
Why I've done so much with it – and still have much, much more to do!
I've been working with a Lensbaby Composer for about 3 years now, and remain just as intrigued by it as I did on the first day I opened the box.
I bought it originally to try and make images with a miniaturised effect on the subject, but soon I became fascinated by the defocussing effect. The human eye and brain doesn't take in an image all at once. We scan around the picture, picking out points of interest. It often seems to take a mental step backwards to try and appreciate all of a photograph in one go.
With its sweet spot the Lensbaby will only bring into focus a small area of the image, particularly if a wide aperture is fitted. The eye is directed to a specific point. This sounds restrictive, but I believe that it actually kicks the imagination into gear. The viewer has to untangle the defocussed areas and create their own connections in their mind. A Lensbaby image seems to draw you further and further in.
If the Lensbaby's sweet spot is directed toward the centre of the image the subject can seem to be miniaturised. I particularly like this when my subjects are people. We look at them like toys, and then maybe consider their characters and actions all the more deeply.
We also seem to zoom in on the focussed area. Sometimes it's as if the viewer falls into the image. Certain subjects can lead us to be lost in a photograph that is both abstract and intensely real at the same moment.
My gallery of Lensbaby images is sure to grow in time as the possibilities seem endless.

Deep Dive
July, 2015
16″ x 16″
I like to challenge myself at the pool: can I swim the 25 yards from one end of the pool to the other without taking a breath? Things are still under water. Swimmers in other lanes pass me by and I watch my bubbles rise to the surface. Swim harder, faster, push to stop my body from rising to the surface. I see the big black cross signaling the side of the pool, Can I make it? Two more kicks and yes, I made it! Up for air and breathe, breathe, breathe.

Six Songs You Might Not Know But Will Love Anyway
Written by Owen Kiernan
July 13, 2011 5:52 pm
In todays world we have access to a vast array of music on tap, and it is all too easy to let some great songs pass you by. Here a few favourites of mine from the past few years that you may have missed.
Silicone Soul – Feeling Blue (Soma; 2005)
Candi Staton's "You Got The Love" must be one of the most widely used vocal samples in dance music, from the original Frankie Knuckles classic, to The Sources massive 1990's club anthem and Florence + The Machines 2009 version, the use of "You Got The Love" is a sure-fire way to success. Quite why Scottish electronic music veterans Silicone Soul didn't experience the same level of popularity with this 2005 song which places a sample of the aforementioned vocal over an uplifting house track is still a mystery to this day.
Mathew Jonson – Marionette (Wagon Repair; 2005)
Canadian label owner Mathew Jonson created this behemoth of a track six years ago, but only got round to releasing an album last year. Clocking in at eleven and a half minutes long, this song is perhaps the definitive minimal techno tune. Used to great effect by Richie Hawtin during his now legendary set at Sonar in 2005, Marionette is a standout slice of perfection in the often bland world of minimal.
Thom Yorke – Harrowdown Hill (The Bug Remix) (XL; 2008)
Radiohead's Thom Yorke is a rare case of a true music visionary. Starting out during the grunge explosion of the early nineties, Yorke has constantly evolved his bands sound, in the process creating some of the greatest albums of their era. Before this years dubstep-influenced The King of Limbs, Yorke gave us a preview of the direction in which he was heading with his solo album The Eraser. This track, featured on the Japan-only Eraser Rmxs is remixed by The Bug into a hard hitting dancehall smash. With devastating amounts of low-end thunder in stark contrast to the delicacy of Yorke's voice this is a fantastic example of how to remix a song into another style, whilst staying respectful to the original.
Clark – Growls Garden (Warp; 2009)
During the early part of the noughties many people started to complain that Warp had lost their way, straying too far from their roots and making some suspect signings such as indie group Maximo Park and actor Vincent Gallo. Then came Chris Clark, whose early releases for the label started to win fans back. This track, Growls Garden, is a heavy, complicated, synth-laden track, with just enough of a hook to appeal to ears not used to the typical Warp sound that Clark has began to make his own.
LCD Soundsystem – Throw (DFA; 2010)
Cover versions are unusual in the world of dance music, there seems to be a consensus that electronic music doesn't lend itself well to reinterpretation or improvisation. Well, I don't agree with that, and nor it seems does LCD Soundsystems James Murphy as he decided to put his stamp on Carl Craig's classic Throw (recorded as Paperclip People). Whilst the original was a piece of Detroit Techno history, LCD's version brings it up to date whilst paying homage to the disco tunes that influenced the early Detroit producers.
Panda Bear – Surfers Hymn (Actress Primitive Patterns Remix) (Kompakt; 2011)
Panda Bear is better known for his work with psychedelic indie rockers Animal Collective, but he is also an accomplished artist in his own right, having released a number of critically received albums of similarly freakish tunes. This song sees London producer Actress take the remixing reins and apply his own brand of techno-influenced dubstep (or should that be dubstep-influenced techno?) to Surfers Hymn, perfectly complementing the originals off-kilter soundscape.

I haven't really been showing a lot of the reading and writing stations that the kids do throughout the week so I'm trying to get more of that up for you guys! There are four stations they kids go to every day in reading and writing, so they do 20 different activities every week! This week, we focused a lot on writing 3 letter words and sight words. They read their decodable for the week like they have been doing and we had a couple review stations for rhyming and compound words, but our main focus was writing!
|Practicing writing words that go along with pictures!
|This group is working on compound word penguins. My example shows "butterfly" (which they couldn't use). Some of the words the kids wrote were reindeer, Muleshoe, clubhouse, lipstick and football.
|The penguin is holding snowballs that have the two word parts, then they write the compound word on the penguin's belly.
|This group is working on tracing, writing, finding, building and using sight words in a sentence.
|Someone seems to break into song and dance every time I go to snap a picture of him working! :) He was singing his sight word (never a dull moment)!
|Concentrating real hard on finding the right sight word.
|Finding the letters she needs to build the sight word on her mat.
|This group is writing in their writing binders. Monday - Thursday their writing usually connects to their science or social studies from that day to reinforce what we talked about in the morning.
|Most of the time, the kids can write whatever they want on Friday. When I tell them they can write whatever they want as long as it's a complete sentence, they tend to whoot and holler. They have really good ideas!

Sardines are incredibly healthy and quick to make. First of all they are a great source of protein! In addition they are also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, and potassium. Something that is interesting is that one can contains 351 milligrams of bone building calcium, you should be reaching for 1,000 milligrams a day. This seems like a pretty good meal to me plus it keeps you full!
-Sardines (fresh is a much better option of course)
-Onions, Jalapenos, Tomatoes
-Minced Garlic
-Himalayan Salt, Black Pepper, Red Pepper Flakes
-Olive oil
Saute the onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, and the minced garlic. Put the can of sardines in and cook until they are tender. I like to add red pepper for extra spice, and black pepper with himalayan salt.
I have avocado for a very nutritious side, plus I love it 😉

giveaway: win £300 to spend on pendant lighting at Houseology
If there's one home related product that I've always hankered after, it's pendant lighting. As renters, we're always stuck with whatever guff the landlord has put in; horrific fluorescent strip lights in the kitchen, dull bulbs in the bedrooms and naff chandeliers in the lounge - what I wouldn't give to have the money to rip them out and have an electrician pop up something a bit more modern and pleasant.
If any of you are fellow lighting-lovers, I might be about to make your day. I've teamed up with those lovely folks at Houseology to offer you the chance to win £300 to spend on pendant lighting of your choice (click here to have a rummage through the category) - and I've even made a little collage of all my favourites, just in case you need some inspiration....

Swansea College of Art students design trophies for national award ceremony
Art and Design Foundation students at University of Wales Trinity Saint David, (UWTSD) Swansea College of Art, designed the Gwobrau'r Selar (Selar Award) trophies, under the direction of Gwenllian Beynon, the faculty's Co-ordinator of Welsh: Art and Design.
Art and Design Foundation students at University of Wales Trinity Saint David, (UWTSD) Swansea College of Art, designed the Gwobrau'r Selar (Selar Award) trophies, under the direction of Gwenllian Beynon, the faculty's Co-ordinator of Welsh: Art and Design.
The awards took place on Friday night, February 20th in Aberystwyth.
Gwobrau'r Selar is a nationally recognised Welsh music award ceremony, organized by magazine 'Y Selar' supporting the contemporary Welsh music scene.
Following the success of last year's trophies, designed by UWTSD Celf a Dylunio (Art and Design) students, Gwobrau'r Selar again this year selected UWTSD students to design and make the awards.
A number of part time Art and Design Foundation students worked on the trophy designs. The Awards were produced using the first rate facilities and the support of staff within the Swansea College of Art.
A number of designs were submitted by the students for selection, the winning design was produced by Jo Ellis.
Gwenllian Beynon said: "We were delighted to be able to work with Gwobrau'r Selar again this year. It was an amazing opportunity for the students last year and I was really happy to see the awards displayed at the National Eisteddfod. This was once again, a great opportunity for our students to work on real projects."
Gwenllian Beynon has recently been appointed as the faculty's Co-ordinator of Welsh: Art and Design (Cydlynydd Cymraeg: Celf a Dylunio) overseeing the development of Welsh medium provision within UWTSD's Faculty of Art and Design. Gwenllian is a member of staff with the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedalethol.
Tony Alexander, Art and Design Foundation student said: "Designing the awards has been a brilliant experience. We got stuck in to producing designs that were suitable for manufacturing at the UWTSD workshops straight away. The whole experience was very interesting and instructive. We hope that the winners will enjoy the results of our efforts."
The Cert HE Art and Design Foundation course provides the basis for the study of art and design. This makes it the preferred route into specialised study within higher education. The programme is predominantly visual and practical, with elements of written work, and develops students' understanding of concept, contexts and making.
The UWTSD Group had a wider partnership with the national awards ceremony with UWTSD's School of Film and Digital Media sponsoring the video booth at the event and Coleg Ceredigion sponsoring the award for Best Instrumentalist, awarded to Gwilym Bowen Rhys.
"Coleg Ceredigion is proud to support this fantastic event that celebrates the best in Welsh music," commented Rhys Huws from Coleg Ceredigion who presented the award. "This is the third year we've sponsored Gwobrau'r Selar, and it's great for Ceredigion to be able to host one of the most important nights in the Welsh music scene calendar. We're proud to be able to support a new generation of artists and help nurture our thriving music scene."
Coleg Ceredigion is a subsidiary company of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and both partners were delighted to support the awards.
Owain Schiavone, Senior editor at Y Selar, said:
"We are very pleased to have Coleg Ceredigion sponsoring us again for the 'Best Instrumentalist' award. The event is one that is of particular interest to young people, and as the awards have become established in Ceredigion, it's great to have a further education institution such as Coleg Ceredigion supporting us again which we appreciate immensely.
"We are also grateful to Art and Design students at UWTSD's Swansea College of Art, for creating the trophies for the awards again this year. We were keen for the awards to be original artworks and have a sense of Welsh identity, and we knew that the task would be in safe hands with the students. The design of the awards this year are unique and original, and I'm sure the winners will treasure them."
Coleg Ceredigion Principal, Jacqui Wetherburn, said: "We're absolutely delighted to be sponsoring the Y Selar awards which highlight the enormous talent we have in Wales. The celebration of the Welsh language in music and song is central to our culture and heritage, and the importance of this award in continuing the tradition across a range of musical styles and providing a platform for young performers cannot be underestimated."

Separate the tenderloins from the breasts. Between sheets of plastic wrap pound the thicker side of the breast to make it more even in thickness. Season the chicken with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the chicken breasts and tenderloins. Saute for about 4 to 5 minutes. You'll know to turn the chicken over when the top looks opaque (tenderloins may take only 2 to 3 minutes per side). Saute on other side 4 to 5 minutes or until the interior is cooked through. Mix lemon zest and lemon juice into chicken broth.
Remove the chicken to a plate. Give the lemon broth cornstarch mixture a stir and add it to skillet. Deglaze the pan and simmer for a two minutes or until the sauce looks thick and glossy. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the butter if you wish. Pour the sauce pour over the chicken and sprinkle the scallions on top.
