The performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are dependent on interfacial processes at the positive and negative electrodes. For example, the surface layers that form on cathodes and anodes are known to affect the kinetics and capacity of LIBs. Interfacial reactions between the electrolyte and the electrodes are also known to initiate electrolyte combustion during thermal runaway events that compromise battery safety. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) are thin film deposition techniques based on sequential, self-limiting surface reactions. ALD and MLD can deposit ultrathin and conformal films on high aspect ratio and porous substrates such as composite particulate electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. The effects of electrode surface modification via ALD and MLD are studied using a variety of techniques. It was found that sub-nm thick coatings of Al2O3 deposited via ALD have beneficial effects on the stability of LIB anodes and cathodes. These same Al2O3 ALD films were found to improve the safety of graphite based anodes through prevention of exothermic solid electrolyte interface (SEI) degradation at elevated temperatures.
Ultrathin and conformal metal alkoxide polymer films known as "metalcones" were grown utilizing MLD techniques with trimethylaluminum (TMA) or titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) and organic diols or triols, such as ethylene glycol (EG), glycerol (GL) or hydroquinone (HQ), as the reactants. Pyrolysis of these metalcone films under inert gas conditions led to the development of conductive metal oxide/carbon composites. The composites were found to contain sp2 carbon using micro-Raman spectroscopy in the pyrolyzed films with pyrolysis temperatures ≥ 600°C. Four point probe measurements demonstrated that the graphitic sp2 carbon domains in the metalcone films grown using GL and HQ led to significant conductivity. The pyrolysis of conformal MLD films to obtain conductive metal oxide/carbon composite films is presented as a method for enabling non-conductive, but possibly electrochemically active materials, to be used for electrochemical applications.

According to the study released in November problem of American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons 'water on the knee' could be the early indicator that you have Lyme condition. Discoveries made in this research study could aid identify Lyme illness faster and begin with its treatment immediately. Maintain reading this post to figure out much more.
Study Revelations
The research study was carried out by Elizabeth Matzkin, MD aide professor of orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School. The group of scientists led by Matzkin evaluated released literary works as well as researches concerning Lyme illness. Below, you can see the most significant discoveries that were released in their paper:
- Lyme condition is one of the most usual vector-borne health problem sent by bugs. It is most common in the Northeast and top Midwest regions of the United States.
- More than 30,000 new situations of Lyme illness are reported to Centers for Condition Control and also Avoidance yearly. It is assumed that 300,000 cases of this disease go unreported each year.
- Half of all individuals do not remember a tick bite or observe a rash. Very early signs typically aren't constantly found when a doctor diagnoses a knee effusion which is most commonly recognized as 'water on the knee'
- Knee effusions created by Lyme condition are frequently really big, not actively-related, and also are usually pain-free
- Early symptoms of Lyme illness occur 3 to 30 days after direct exposure as well as aren't constantly present.
- Including Lyme disease in the differential diagnosis as a potential source of spontaneous knee effusion could protect against growth of much more serious signs and symptoms linked with this disease.
According to professor Matzkin, it is extremely important to catch and deal with Lyme illness early because signs obtain progressively even worse overtime. The laboratory tests that are made use of to detect Lyme disease could take time to process as well as in some cases patient has to take an antibiotic prior to the laboratory outcomes are complete.
Lyme illness has to be treated immediately. If illness is left neglected, 60 % people establish Lyme arthritis and enhance the threat of long-term joint damage. Professor Matzkin concluded the paper with guidance that in areas where Lyme condition is most common, medical professionals should take into consideration evaluating whether spontaneous knee effusion could be brought on by illness then, examination appropriately. In locations where Lyme disease isn't common, doctors need to ask the patient whether he or she traveled to such an area prior to they make a diagnosis.
Symptoms Of Lyme Disease
According to the research study conducted by professor Matzkin, 'water on the knee' typically appears prior to various other Lyme illness symptoms. Actually, in some patients, knee effusion reveals up also if a patient does not experience other signs connected with this disease. This is why spontaneous knee effusion could be thought about as one of the primary as well as earliest indicators of Lyme illness. Various other signs and symptoms include:
- Rash – takes place from 3 to 1 Month after the tick bite. The breakout typically isn't uncomfortable or itchy
- Flu-like symptoms – tiredness, high temperature, chills, headache, as well as body pains normally go along with the rash
- Joint pain – severe joint pain and swelling which affects your knees the most. Discomfort could frequently shift from one joint to another.
- Neurological problems – weeks, months, or perhaps years after the infection the impacted person may experience pins and needles or weak point in limbs, temporary paralysis of one side of individual's face etc.
Who goes to Risk Of Obtaining Lyme Disease?
The most typical threat factors for this illness include:
- Spending a lot of time in verdant or wooded areas where ticks thrive
- Having revealed skin in location where ticks are common
- Not removing ticks correctly and promptly.
Prevention And Treatment Tips
- Avoid spending quality time in habitats where ticks prevail. If taking a walk in these areas and so on you ought to wear clothes that cover your whole body.
- When in tick-infested areas, use light clothing so you can detect ticks a lot more quickly and get rid of them before they reach your skin
- Wear rubber boots when in grassy or woody areas
- Ticks should be eliminated carefully with tweezers
- Take antibiotics after a tick bite
- As quickly as you discover knee effusion or other signs and symptoms of Lyme condition after a tick bite, consult your medical care carrier
- When suffering from joint pain created by Lyme illness you could soothe the pain with supplements. Dietary supplements use all-natural formula to offer pain
- When traveling, put on bug spray.
- Check yourself, your youngsters, and your pet dogs for ticks.
relief. For instance, FlexoPlex lubes joints, minimizes joint inflammation, decreases joint discomfort, and reinforces joint cartilage for far better flexibility.

Banks and contractors doing business with the Niger Delta Affairs, NDA, may need to gird their loins as the interventionist agency is ready to stop all those contributing to the delays in the completion of development projects in the Niger Delta region. Stating the no-nonsense position of the commission, after inspecting some of its major projects in Rivers State at the weekend, the NDA Executive Director Projects, Engr. Tuoyo Omatsuli, warned that all offending parties may face sanctions.
The inspection covered the two proto-type hostel projects at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RUST); the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT); the Niger Delta Regional Specialist Hospital; the 15-floor new NDA headquarters; the permanent site of the Rivers State office and the Eliozu-Oroigwe-Elimgbu Road, all in the Port Harcourt metropolis.
Engr. Omatsuli frowned at the slow pace of work at the UNIPORT hostel, which he blamed on the non-release of funds by a particular bank to the contractor. "We paid in the money for work to continue on the project three months ago and the bank failed to make it available to the contractor. This is totally un-acceptable and we are going to tackle the matter at the board level to act against any bank that is delaying our work," he said.
He warned that the banks working with the commission stood the risk of being blacklisted if they hinder the work of contractors, noting that it was wrong for some of the banks to set up different conditions for the contractors outside the guidelines by the commission for Advanced Payment Guaranty (APG) disbursement.
The situation at the RUST hostel was also not impressive, as the NDA Executive Director charged the contractor to correct a number of flaws that were detected during the inspection. To ensure that standards were not compromised, he said that a special monitoring team would be set up by the commission to supervise the contractor to effect all the necessary corrections.
At the Specialist Hospital, comprising the orthopaedic complex and the four-storey cardiovascular centre, Engr. Omatsuli, said that apart from putting up the structures, the NDA was already partnering with professionals in medical administration for the running of the two specialist hospitals.
He said that the orthopaedic unit would deal with the correction of injuries to the skeletal system, associated muscles, joints and ligaments, while the cardiovascular section would treat heart-related problems. He further said that the NDA was building similar hospitals in Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River and Delta States to discourage increasing cases of medical tourism among Nigerians.
After inspecting the Eliozu-Elimgbu Road with two bridges, the NDA executive director regretted that the poor state of the road was giving the commission a bad image. He, therefore, declared that the job would be re-assigned to a more competent contractor.

The Top Advantages of XHTML5
Code quality assurance
Due to the strict nature of the browser when parsing XHTML5 any errors or broken code will immediately case an error to show in the browser.
In other standards the browser will accept broken code without warning the developer. This often leads to cross browser bugs and broken pages on browsers that have not been tested. high quality well formed XHTML5 is more likely to work consistently across browsers and platforms as well as to be indexed correctly by search engines.
Makes validation and accessibility easier to implement.
Since the browser will not render invalid XHTML5 it is possible for it to validate on the first try rather than having to go back and correct many errors that were not apparent before validation.

Streamline and automate new employee setup in Microsoft Dynamics GP
Are you hiring?
If you are you like many businesses in this current economy, you probably are. This is great news, right?
As anyone in payroll or human resources knows, while hiring new employees is typically good for the business, it does create an additional workload on payroll and HR staff.
So, what can you do to kick-start the process of adding new employees in Dynamics GP Payroll and HR?
Leverage Employee Class
When I first began working with Dynamics GP back in 2009, I completely underestimated how powerful the Employee Class field was within GP. Along with many other GP users, I viewed this field as a way to group and classify employees much like the Employee Department, for example.
The Employee Class can be assigned to an Employee Maintenance card directly on the main page (see-highlighted area below).

Providers criticize CMS for ambiguity in staff training on whistleblowers
More than 800 Medicaid providers have voiced their disapproval of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' interpretation of a Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 provision that requires them to educate all employees, contractors and agents on the federal False Claims Act.Beginning Jan. 1, healthcare providers who receive Medicaid payments totaling $5 million or more per year have been required to provide information to their staff on the federal False Claims Act and its whistleblower protections, according to the CMS guidance. Many nursing home operators fit into that category.
The guidance was insufficient, many providers claimed in a phone briefing with CMS's Medicaid Program Integrity Group Acting Director Robb Miller recently. While Miller defended the agency's interpretation of the law and the guidance, he also added that his group was still reviewing certain aspects of the provision and would provide additional guidance to states and providers at a later date.

Question about Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z60 Digital Camera
Posted by elleynl on
I can go to favourites and then view my photos by pressing view then
but when i go to take a photo the lense comes out but then goes back straight away and the camera turns itself off.
It is very easy to fix. Just Be Very Careful when doing the following Repair.
You will need the Following a Size 0 Screw Driver, and a Small Eye Glass Flat Head Screw driver.
1. remove the 4 Screws holding the side panels. (Make sure you do not mix these screws with the ones on step 2) as these screws are shorter.
2. Remove the 6 Screws on the bottom of the camera
3. Now carefully pull apart from the bottom up. You will see 2 more screws on the left side but do not remove them.
4. Seperate the Front faceplate carefully around the Lens assembly.
5. while keeping the Camera with the lens Facing Strate Up, remove the Two Screws on the right side of the Lens, but keep caution not to move the camera while the screws are out of place.
6. remove the Cover to the Lens Gears.
7. Now this is very important!!!!, Take the Small Eyeglass Flat head Screw Driver and Pry the Gear To the Left, not the one by the motor. you do not have to take the gear off, however just enough to allow you to Move the Lens Assembly manualy.
8. Turn the Lower half of the Lens assembly carefully until the Lens is compleatly In and lens protector flaps Shut.
9. Put the Gear back on.
10. put the Gear Cover back on and Screw the Two screws back in. Make sure they are Firmly tightened
11. Put the Front Face Plate back on by putting on the top first, then closeing the bottom.
12. make sure the side pannel with the Wrist Strap is in Correctly before screwing it in.
13. Place the Side Pannels back on and Screw them in.
14. Screw the 6 Bottom Screws back in.
Now put the Battery Back in and test it out. This should fix the error you were having. i just perfomed this on my camera 15 min before i Wrote these instructions it worked! Step 15 get back to taking great shots!

iOS UIColor Category Adds Hex Value Support (With Or W/O Alpha) Color Comparisons And More
There are a number of issues that come up when using UIColor because of how colors are treated, and recently I mentioned a Mac OS X colorpicker plugin that adds the capability of generating UIColor values and an Xcode plugin to help solve those issues.
Here's a library from Nick Lockwood called ColorUtils that provides a number of UIColor convenience methods for solving any color related issues.
With this library you can:
– Create colors from hexadecmial strings (with or without alpha).
– Get the integer value of a UIColor (with or without alpha).
– Get the name associated with a UIColor if it exists.
– Check if the color is monochrome or RGB
– Compare colors.
As the readme states:
UIColor is a thin wrapper around CGColor, which supports a wide variety of different formats, making it very flexible. This flexibility seems to come at a bit of a cost to usability for common tasks however. For example, it's non-trivial to access the red, green and blue components of an RGB color, and it is difficult to compare colors because [UIColor blackColor] is treated as different from [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1] even though they are identical on screen. ColorUtils makes this tasks easy.
Another common problem is that RGBA UIColors are specified using four floating point values in the range 0 to 1, but virtually all graphics software treats colors as having integer components in the range 0 – 255, often represented as a hexadecimal string. ColorUtils lets you specify colors as hexadecimals so you can copy and paste values directly from PhotoShop.
You can download ColorUtils on Github here.
Included is a sample project showing ColorUtils in action – very straightforward to use.

I wrote one review, but it doesn't appear that it can be edited. So, I'm writing another review. Dr.Rottenberg is a wonderful person, but his staff, in the Atlanta office, is terrible. They lost around $600.00 worth of my medicine, that comes to that office, for me, from a pharmaceutical company, from a patient in need program. The medicine was sent 2 different times,a 90 day supply, but was never found. I've gotten medicine through other doctor's offices, but have never had this problem. The other doctor's office calls me when the medicine comes in, but the staff at the Atlanta office, makes me "chase" the medicine down, as I have to do, before they lose it.

Dr. Richard Zakheim wasn't Steve Austin, TV's Six Million Dollar Man.
But he really was to his patients.
"The special thing about him was his ear … and it was better than an echocardiogram, better than anything. I could only hope some people have half the ear he had — or 10 percent," said Hialeah Commissioner Paul Hernandez, Jr., one of his patients.
Hernandez, born with a congenital heart defect, had a 27-year relationship with the Miami Children's Hospital cardiologist who founded the Pediatric Cardiology Department in 1977 and the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Clinic in 2006 at the Kendall area medical institution, which was recently renamed Nicklaus Children's Hospital.
Zakheim's wife, Pamela, who formed the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami with her husband in 1999, has heard so many similar stories after his death on Tuesday at age 78 of cancer.
"He was one of those doctors trained in the old-fashioned way when all the wonderful, extraordinary tests were not developed. He had the ability to diagnose people with his ears and his eyes. Very unusual. He had the ability to connect with his patients in a way that they found to be profound," she said from their Pinecrest home.
Hernandez, who had five open-heart surgeries under Zakheim's care, considered him "a father figure. Every milestone I've crossed in this life I've always thought of him right away next to my parents. The night I was elected I reached out to him just to see that smile on his face. He had a sense of pride in seeing his patients succeed and do well."
Sgt. Paul Hernandez Sr. of the Miami-Dade Police Department, took one look at Zakheim decades ago and refused to get a second opinion. He just knew this man could help his son.
"I could tell by his face," he said. "He looked at me and said, 'Your son is very ill. We'll straighten him up.' I was in my 20s and that's all I needed to know. Hearing him talk was such a comfort to any parent. Let's leave the 'Human X-ray' to look at it and he'll tell you what's up."
Zakheim, born in New York City on Feb. 26, 1937, received his medical degree at Albert Einstein Medical School. After serving as a pediatrician and cardiologist at the Malcolm Grow USAF Medical Center at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., and as a director of the cardiology program at the University of Texas Health Science Center, he moved to Miami Children's in 1977.
Zakheim worked there until April this year, devoted to patient care from childhood onward, hence his dedication to the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Clinic. "He wanted to assure Miami had a place where they could be seen as well," his wife Pamela said. The city of Miami proclaimed June 4, 2013, "Dr. Richard M. Zakheim Day" for such commitment.
"He was an icon to generations of patients and residents at Miami Children's Hospital, cardiology fellows and colleagues. I aspire to be like Dick all the time, and I've been here 18 years," said Dr. Robert Hannan, a cardiac surgeon at Nicklaus. "We all have our feet of clay, but I'd have a hard time telling you what Dick's feet of clay were."
In addition to his wife, Zakheim is survived by his son, Dr. Alan Zakheim and daughter Amy Saffer, and grandchildren Brett, Nadine, Emory and Colby.
Services are at 10 a.m. Sunday at Mount Nebo/Kendall Memorial Gardens, 5900 SW 77th Ave., Miami. Donations may be made to the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami.
Follow @HowardCohen on Twitter.
Remembering Dr. Richard Zakheim
Jane Salvaggio, nurse practitioner in cardiovascular surgery at Nicklaus Children's Hospital:
"Many members of our [community] aren't aware of Dr. Zakheim's contributions and vision. I remember one night he stayed up all night at the bedside of a baby with complex congenital heart disease where there was no surgical option, trying his hardest to save the infant. He recruited surgeons and specialists to create the first heart program at Miami Children's Hospital. He is the 'Founding Father' of all the excellence we have now."
Joe Natoli, Senior Vice President for Business and Finance and Chief Financial Officer, University of Miami:
"My wife and I first met Dick Zakheim more than 25 years ago, when our then 6-year old son was suffering from a terrible illness. He made an immediate impact. He was a brilliant physician, but it was the compassion that he showed to our son and our family that made him so remarkable. Over the years, I've met many other parents who encountered Dick Zakheim at the lowest point in their lives and we all had the same experience."
Pamela Zakheim, cofounder of the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami with her husband, Dr. Zakheim:
"He was an extraordinary, kind man with tremendous integrity. He would never do a test that wasn't necessary. He would be able to know what was going on with you. It was inherent in him, tremendous passion. This was a man who read a cardiology journal every single day of his life."
Dr. Deise Granado, Senior Vice President of Medical and Academic Affairs and Chief Medical Officer, Nicklaus:
"Dr. Zakheim will be deeply missed, however he has left his permanent imprints of hope and commitment to every child he cared for during his remarkable career. An excellent colleague and an outstanding clinician who will always be remembered by all of us and by the countless families and children whose lives he touched."

چکیده انگلیسی
This paper provides an overview of the literature on private equity and leveraged buyouts, focusing on global evidence related to both governance and returns to private equity and leveraged buyouts. We distinguish between financial and real returns to this activity, where the latter refers to productivity and broader performance measures. We also outline a research agenda on this topic.
مقدمه انگلیسی
The recent resurgence of leveraged buyouts (henceforth, LBOs) and the concomitant rise of "private equity" markets in the U.S. and internationally, has been accompanied by renewed concerns about their effects (e.g. Financial Services Authority, 2006). These concerns emphasize a need to evaluate the impact of these transactions on organizations and society. Researchers typically assess the impact of such changes in ownership on firm performance by examining effects on short-run stock prices ("event studies"), long-run stock prices, returns to investors, or accounting profits of publicly-traded firms.3 This approach provides evidence on the firm-level, financial "returns" to buyouts.
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
There is ample scope for additional research on private equity and buyouts. First, it would be useful to examine the productivity impact of different types of buyouts. For instance, there is some debate about the pre-buyout agency cost problems in private firms. On the one hand, private firms could have lower agency costs than publicly-traded firms, since they are usually owned and managed by a small, concentrated group of shareholders (e.g., a founder and his family). On the other hand, there is recognition that some family firms have diverse ownership and control structures that can introduce agency problems (Schulze et al., 2001; Morck and Yeung, 2003; Howorth et al., 2004; Scholes et al., in press). Thus, further research could examine whether there are differences in the productivity effects of public to private and private to private buyouts. As well, there is the phenomenon of the "reverse" buyout (Degeorge and Zeckhauser, 1993), which occurs when an MBO goes public again. While we have evidence that private to public buyouts yield improvements in financial and accounting performance, these improvements appear to decline over time (Holthausen and Larcker, 1996). Studies also reveal that IPOs of MBOs backed by more reputable private equity firms perform better than those backed by less prestigious private equity firms (Jelic et al., 2005). It might also be useful to analyze productivity before and after reverse MBOs.

|The East That Goes On
|Eden of the East TV series
Sara ni Tsuzuku Higashi
|Original air date
June 18, 2009
The East That Goes On (さらにつづく東 Sara ni Tsuzuku Higashi ) is the eleventh and final episode of the Eden of the East anime television series. It aired on June 18, 2009.
Saki and Micchon return to the multiplex, which has been invaded by the 20,000 NEETs. Saki explains to Eden that Takizawa recruited the NEETs to help evacuate citizens before Careless Monday, disguised as government personnel. However, in order to cover his involvement, Takizawa took responsibility for Careless Monday and shipped the NEETs to Dubai for three months to keep them out of the public eye. Out of guilt and despair for what had happened, Takizawa erased his memories. After analyzing the data, Eden discovers that the missiles are targeted all over Japan, including the multiplex. Takizawa then contacts all of the NEETs and tells them he has arranged a bigger missile attack, and instructs them to figure out the best way to intercept the missiles and upload it to Eden.
Using the NEETs' collective knowledge, Juiz organizes a network of F-15 jet fighters and Patriot missile launchers to intercept the missiles. Everybody, including Itazu and the remaining Seleçãos look on as the missiles are destroyed. Knowing that this event will be much harder to cover up than Careless Monday, Takizawa instructs Juiz to use all of his remaining money to make him "King of Japan". His reasoning is that there are many smart people in Japan, but none of them are willing to bear the responsibility of leadership, so it is up to him to take it. In order to become King, Takizawa uses his phone to brainwash himself and he slips it into Saki's pocket. The episode ends with Saki contemplating what will happen to Japan now that Takizawa is a King.

We take the safety, happiness and well-being of our children seriously and have ensure all staff are trained and updated annually in Safeguarding by Lesley Pollard, an external advisor well experienced and qualified in safeguarding. All staff have had copies of relevant procedures and information eg Working Together 2016 documents and also have completed the relevant Disqualification forms. Staff are aware of their responsibilities for online safety too (see below).
Our Designated Persons for Safeguarding are Mrs Green (Head), Miss Sheen (SENCO) and Miss Franklin (KS2 leader). Their training is up to date and updated bi-annually as required.
Mrs Holden (Chair of Governors) is our Safeguarding and Online Safety governor. She oversees the procedures and policies related to Safeguarding. The Health and Safety committee of governors also overview Safeguarding aspects including our annual audit and action plan.
The school carries out DBS checks and has an up to date Single Central Record of employees and volunteers who regularly work with our children to ensure that adults in school are safe. This is checked by the headteacher and Chair of Governors.
We operate Safer Recruitment practices for recruitment e.g. ID checks on arrival, qualifications checked and two references in place prior to interview. Mrs Green and Mrs Holden have all completed the statutory training for Safer Recruitment and all training is in date.
Staff and governors are trained in Managing Allegations Against School Staff and all staff are aware of the Whistle Blowing Policy which is below and on our staff area of the website and in school.
Supply agencies are provided with copies of our policies and health and safety information prior to sending us staff and the Head/School Business Manager will ensure supply staff know fire procedures and also child protection procedures on arrival. We use the same companies and, where we can, the same staff so pupils know a familiar face. In Key Stage 2 (juniors) we have two qualified and experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) who are able to cover for teachers in their absence too.
Staff are aware of the protocols to follow if they have a worry about a child and forms are used to record worries and actions by the Designated Person. Parents are kept informed of concerns, when they arise, in line with our policy.
We talk to children about their safety and have worry boxes in school to help them with concerns.
To help families experiencing difficulties there is access to a Parent Support Advisor, funded by school. Hayley Harvey is located at Loatlands and can be reached on email@example.com or 07527324844. She can advise on any parenting worry such as behaviour, bereavement or financial support.
We have an adult and a young persons committee for Anti-Bullying. These committees are pro-active and meet regularly. There are two themed weeks per year around anti-bullying and the children's group lead worship too.
We work hard to provide a culture where bullying is not tolerated and where children will tell adults if this is a worry for them.
In our curriculum we talk about staying safe in a range of subjects e.g. Science and PHSE and also in worship. For example, younger pupils learn about medicines, road safety and all pupils have an assembly about the Firework Code before Bonfire Night organised by the local Police. Each term the children have refresher lessons on online safety too. Also, before pupils leave in Year 6 the local Police lead a Drugs Education session and teachers from a local secondary school provide our Sex Education which includes elements about self esteem and well-being. We also talk to children about Stranger Danger and safety around animals in the curriculum.
Evolve Risk Assesment Program for Trips Off Site:
Miss Franklin is the Educational Visits Co-ordinator. She is fully trained. All staff leading trips off site have been trained to do so and the headteacher is confident of their ability to do so. The Evolve program is used to plan and risk assess trips. Staff complete this online and it is approved online prior to the trip proceeding. Any hazardous activities must be approved by our MAT leader for trips, Marc Jordan.
Staff complete relevant risk assessments for trips and also for activities in school e.g. cooking.
Staff complete online health and safety training regularly and also are aware of their responsibilities for their own areas of school.
Early Help:
Mrs Green and Miss Sheen (our SENCO) can both help with Early Help facilities and support if you are in need of help with your family. Please speak to our PSA Hayley Harvey confidentially first and she can refer you to the right agency for support or speak to us. (See above)
Our Safeguarding Policy is below and we remind parents to speak to us if you are worried. If you are worried about a child outside of school time you can call the local Multi Agency Support Hub for advice (anonymously if needs be) on 0300 126 1000.
Online Safety
Simon Aston is the Online SAFETY officer who trains staff and also leads parent workshops. Please find below all of the information from his area of the NCC website. His contact details are: email@example.com. You can find his page of information at Northamptonshire County Council, click on the A-Z and find Online Safety there.
All of the links to the websites that he recommends are below too.
The internet is an amazing tool but children need to use it safely. We teach children how to do this in school. However, Simon's workshop shows that 75% of pupils forget to 'be safe' at home. Use the links and advice below to ensure that your child is safe and ensure that they are online in a family area not in their own room with their own devices.

I really wanted to call this book Replacing Web Pages with Applications. Or, something even more provocative such as The End of Web Pages. Considering that Macromedia Flash is the tool that will bring such changes, I suppose it's only fair it's in the title. But I still think we're at the beginning of a real change.
When new technologies arise, people tend to impress old metaphors onto them. If you look at the first motion pictures, they're little more than a camera pointed at a stage play. When D. W. Griffith decided to move the camera to different positions and insert carefully timed edits, it was a major revolution. In the case of the web, the whole concept of "pages" comes from books. Books are good at what they do, so there's no point trying to re-create books on the web. Instead, we need to exploit the computer for what it is good at. In many ways, we still don't know what that is. I'm convinced, however, that the computer's calling is certainly more than just displaying "pages."
Even Flash's short history is marked by mini-milestones. The original gabocorp.com site convinced a generation of Flash developers that a site with little more than an interface and natural transitions could be really cool. Then, yugop.com (built in Flash 4 no less) blew everyone away by showing that you can use math to animate. And then the first examples shown on wireframe.co.za demonstrated practical ways to apply isometric math to make things look realistic. You can also find countless cases where Flash cartoons using sophomoric humor rose to cult status.
The point about many such examples is that although they certainly help Flash advance, they don't necessarily offer something better than an alternative. That is, they're cool and there's nothing like them, but it's not as though average folks say "ah, now that's going to help me do this better." Flash users might say "wow, someone's going to use this for something practical—eventually." I suppose this is part of the reason another milestone in Flash history was Dr. Jakob Nielsen's article, "Flash: 99% Bad." My point here is only that Flash needed a push toward usability; otherwise, it would have continued to chart its own course as just a cool animation tool.
To be fair to the revolutionaries responsible for the sites mentioned previously, I should add this note: I know for a fact that they have gone on to make practical and usable applications.
Also, I don't want to ever suggest that animation is only useful for entertainment or eye-candy. In fact, it's as important and unique a communication medium as pictures or words.
Although Dr. Nielsen may have pushed Flash toward usability, we still aren't to the point where people immediately think of Flash when they need to solve a problem. It would seem the obvious goal for Flash would be to replace existing applications that use traditional technologies such as HTML. However, this makes sense only if Flash could do something notably better. That is, if I could replace your email software with Flash, would you be any better off? You wouldn't, unless my Flash emailer was markedly better in some way. Just "spicing up" an application by redoing it in Flash is no better than colorizing a black-and-white movie. The target for Flash applications needs to be solving otherwise unresolved problems. In a way, this takes more creativity because you have to think of new ideas. On the other hand, if Flash is well-suited to solve the problem, it'll be easy to make a case for your application because it won't compete with other technologies.

About 3 week before your arrival, I just couldn't wait to find out who was growing inside of me! So I peaked into the most exciting present I've ever opened...an envelope telling me that I was having a BOY!
From that point on I was able to envision our caboose and all of the fun that you would bring our family. Daddy planned a fun surprise to show you brothers and sister who you were. He took the labels off of bottles of silly string and on the count of three they sprayed the cans and when they saw blue they (including your Daddy) were able to see that another boy was on the way. Now the hard part. What to name you? We had so many fun names to choose from that we just couldn't decide.
Your older brother Sam came so quickly that as we approached your due date, I became pretty anxious about getting to the hospital in time. I had a condition where it was important to get medicine three hours before you arrived so I wanted to time it just right!! So I went in 1 time prematurely thinking you were ready to arrive. When my due date was only days away we and the doctors decided your time had come because we wanted to make sure you came safely with plenty of time for the medicine you needed. You were my only baby that did not come on your own time...we had to speed it up for you. We shall see if this plays out in other areas of your life : )
So the morning before your due date (October 29th), with Nana in town for a sleepover, we set our alarms and set out for the hospital. It was amazing to not leave in a rush!! After that everything was pretty uneventful (except for your entrance into the world of course). They started giving me my medicine at 7 am and then at 10 am they started my second dose. They asked me what I wanted my pain level to be on a scale from 0-10. I said "0" of course (what a silly question). So before they started contractions they gave me a special medicine called an epidural so that I didn't feel any pain (praise God!) . Then at 11 am they broke my water and you started your entrance into the world. About 12 I started feeling some pain (Mommy's back is silly and curves a bit so it's hard for them to get it right) but after they fixed it I was no longer in pain (I truly wanted a "0"). While you were making your way out, we decided to get serious about names and we just really couldn't find the right one. So we did something we hadn't done yet, we waited until we saw you to decide... and 3 hours later (3:15 pm) you were here!!
My easiest labor yet...thank you! Much to our surprise you weighed 9 lb 11oz and were 20 1/2 inches. Not only were you the EXACT same weight as your brother, Sam, but you looked just like him (possibly your size because you don't look like him now) that I started to say "SSSSSS(am)" and had to stop myself.
So it was then and there that we decided on Silas, so we had the safety of the "S" and we thought how great Sam and Silas go together in hopes that you would be 2 peas in a pod, thick as thieves : ) Speaking of, we named you after Silas from the Bible. It has 2 meanings...three (or third) which you are our third boy! It also means "of the woods" and we hope you are mighty and strong just like the glorious forests that God created. Silas was such an amazing person in the Bible. In Acts 16 we learn that Paul and Silas were in jail for their faith in Jesus. Despite their surroundings they prayed and sang hymns of joy. Because of this joy in the midst of suffering the jailer put his faith in Jesus! We hope that your faith in Jesus is just as real and contagious to those you come in contact with. That isn't they only part of your name that is really important to us, but we chose Eugene as your middle name after your Great Grandpa, Eugene. Eugene has been such a great leader for his family with a heart to give and a heart for Jesus. We are so glad you were able to meet him so soon after your birth!
Immediately you were the caboose of the family, the final piece to the puzzle that makes us complete. (as far as we know ; ) ) We love you so much and can't wait to see God do great things through you!!

In a world where promiscuity and self-centeredness is celebrated, a story about a virgin-mother offers a refreshing change to the norm.
Jacksonville, AR (PRWEB) June 05, 2015
With her new book, Memoirs of a Virgin, Black Mother, ($9.99, paperback, 9781498429795; $4.99, e-book, 9781498429801) Mahalia R. Watson's powerful mission is to show that marital, financial, nor societal status can impact the gift of motherhood like the disarming force of God's love. Her story is certainly a unique one. As an adult virgin, never having been married, the author answered the divine call to become a single foster mother to not one, but two young children. The text describes her spiritual walk in the midst of and after these major life events, as well as God's impact on the lives of her children.
"In a world where promiscuity and self-centeredness is celebrated, a story about a virgin-mother offers a refreshing change to the norm," states the author. "This story allows audiences to experience, in a very real way, what a workaholic, single woman experienced as a mother... without never biblically 'knowing' a man. For every virgin, every mother, every person who has ever messed up, and every person needing love, grace, and forgiveness, this is a journey worth embarking upon."
Miss Mahalia R. Watson, MA, a native of Greenville, MS, is a graduate of Oral Roberts University. She began her career as a therapist to abused foster children, and is now an author, motivational speaker, recording artist, ordained evangelist, and founder of the much-acclaimed Anti-F.I.S.T. Project.
Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world's largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 12,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Memoirs of a Virgin, Black Mother through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Liberal organizations in Wisconsin have managed to do it again.
One Wisconsin Now, a Soros-funded state partner of the Progress Now network, in their quixotic desire to defeat Governor Scott Walker are now accusing him of wasting taxpayer dollars for his lawsuit to force the Government Accountability Board to review the recall signatures for obvious fraud and duplicate signatures. In a press release issued on Monday, the left-wing organization issued this gem of logic:
Gov. Scott Walker's effort to require taxpayers to finance the recall signature review campaign process should be disallowed, given Walker has been crisscrossing the country raising unlimited and unprecedented amounts of campaign cash, according to One Wisconsin Now.
"Gov. Walker can't have it both ways," said Scot Ross, One Wisconsin Now Executive Director. "When Gov. Walker started raising unlimited money, he obligated his campaign to pay for campaign costs associated with his recall – not the taxpayers."
So lets follow One Wisconsin Now's leap in logic.
- On December 12, One Wisconsin Now was outraged that Governor Walker was actually raising money from outside of Wisconsin. Nevermind that One Wisconsin Now gave Big Labor a free pass for the nearly $9 million in national money poured into the summer recall elections.
- Then, on December 20, One Wisconsin Now was simply outraged that Governor Walker was raising money at all!
- Now, One Wisconsin Now (so self-righteously angry that Gov. Walker would raise money to defend himself), have determined that because he is raising money (to defend himself), Governor Walker should also pay for the integrity of the recall process even though the state of Wisconsin has an entire agency (the Government Accountability Board) dedicated for just such a process. Not to mention thatOne Wisconsin Now has actually encouraged fraud and duplicate signatures by informing signers it is their "right" to sign a petition more than once!
It can only be determined that in light of the news that the recall election will likely cost the state of Wisconsin nearly $9 million, One Wisconsin Now will at some point in the near future demand that Governor Walker pay for his own recall. It would certainly fit their twisted logic.

Long Live the Revolution
The 10th annual Revolutions International Theatre Festival
The mark of brilliance may just be that it stays with you. It affects the way you think about something or, perhaps, the way you look at everything. You contemplate it after you've engaged with it. Your future actions and interactions are, in some regard, altered by having experienced it. As it so happens, this is also the mark of revolution. Coincidence? Certainly not in the case of the Revolutions International Theatre Festival.
Founded by Tricklock Company back when it was still known as Riverside Ensemble, Revolutions is a truly global gathering. This year, the festival's 10th, includes contributors from our home sweet home, as well as Canada, Colombia, Poland and Israel—in other words: theater from four continents. Though every group involved brings something characteristically distinctive to the stage, there are common threads among them. Namely, they demonstrate art as a holistic, sensory and cerebral pursuit of a different truth. The ultimate aim of their artistry is to change the way we understand theater and, in so doing, to change the way we understand the world.
Cynics might dismiss this objective as preposterous; you might even conceive of theater as trivial or frivolous—and far from mind- (let alone life- or globe-) altering. But look back, behind you, before you. Art, in all its manifold incarnations, is our voice. It is our inheritance and our endowment, surviving generations, embodying and preserving our progress. It is very often the impetus for palpable and progressive social change—for the realization of a different truth and the creation of a different consciousness.
Over the course of 19 days, Revolutions International Theatre Festival offers you the opportunity to share these realizations and take part in this artistic brilliance. So, accept. Engage. Contemplate. And long live the revolution.

A Passion for Nature : The Life of John Muir Paperback
by Donald (Hall Distinguished Professor of American History, University of Kansas) Worster
Donald Worster's A Passion for Nature is the most complete account of the great conservationist and founder of the Sierra Club ever written.
It is the first to be based on Muir's full private correspondence and to meet modern scholarly standards, yet it is also full of rich detail and personal anecdote, uncovering the complex inner life behind the legend of the solitary mountain man.
It traces Muir from his boyhood in Scotland and frontier Wisconsin to hisadult life in California right after the Civil War up to his death on the eve of World War I.
It explores his marriage and family life, his relationship with his abusive father, his many friendships with the humble and famous (including Theodore Roosevelt and Ralph Waldo Emerson), and his role in founding themodern American conservation movement.
Inspired by Muir's passion for the wilderness, Americans created a long and stunning list of national parks and wilderness areas, Yosemite most prominent among them.
Yet the book also describes a Muir who was a successful fruit-grower, a talented scientist and world-traveler, a doting father and husband, and a self-made man of wealth and political influence.
The winner of numerous book awards, A Passion for Nature was also named a Best Book of2008 by Washington Post Book World.
It is the first comprehensive biography of Muir to appear in six decades.

Positive Youth Development (PYD) provides organized sports activities for children 4-12 years of age. After years of operating the PYD program, the YWCA has become convinced that children benefit strongly when they participate in physical activities that are fun, safe, and that foster a sense of self-worth and belonging. To this end, the PYD program offers sports leagues and water training, through which boys and girls can develop self-awareness, improve fitness and increase their development of interpersonal skills. PYD uses the Character Counts curriculum to emphasize the life lessons that one can learn from participation in a team situation. PYD brings families together, as children learn, develop self-confidence and participate in sports activities.
