One of Saudi Arabia's most progressive developments prepares to host the world's best golfers for the nation's inaugural European Tour event
Dubai, UAE, January 28, 2019: Anticipation is building amongst the world's best players as they prepare to make their first visit to Saudi Arabia for the inaugural Saudi International presented by SBIA, the first European Tour golf event to be held in Saudi Arabia, which will take place at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) from Thursday 31 January to Sunday 3 February.
One of Saudi Arabia's most progressive cities, and a champion of a modern Saudi lifestyle, KAEC has made headlines around the globe as the ambitious vision for the 181 million sqm city comes to life with new residences, leisure amenities, infrastructure and an ever-expanding commercial district.
"From the outset we believed King Abdullah Economic City and Royal Greens Golf & Country Club were the perfect partners for the event," commented His Excellency Yasir Bin Othman Al Rumayyan, Chairman of the Saudi Golf Federation. "The setting is tailor-made for staging on and off-course activities and we know the players, VIPs, sponsors, guests and spectators will be treated to the finest service and hospitality."
One of KAEC's flagship features is the award-winning Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, Saudi Arabia's first 18-hole championship golf course that will test the world's best players and set the scene for television viewers around the world. Set against some of the most picturesque, natural Red Sea coastline, the European Golf Design layout has been manicured to perfection in anticipation of one of the strongest European Tour fields in history.
"We could not be prouder to host such an illustrious event at KAEC and to recognise the significance the Saudi International presented by SBIA will have for the nation's transition and Vision 2030," commented Ahmed Linjawi, CEO King Abdullah Economic City. "KAEC is a diverse destination that affords our residents and guests the option to indulge in a progressive way of living. As we develop our amenities and underline our commitment to staging high-profile events, the lifestyle offered in KAEC will become further recognised as a distinct feature throughout Saudi Arabia."
The city is already highly regarded in many sectors. As a business and commercial hub, KAEC is pioneering partnership investments, attracting major interest from international organisations making initial steps in the country. It has grown into a vibrant residential community, designed to enrich the lives of the local population; as a hospitality and entertainment hotspot, it offers leading international hotels and a roster of entertainment events worthy of any major city; as a leisure experience, it will boast one of the most complete sports centres and an expansive activity sector and, as a champion of Vision 2030 and advocate of Quality of Life 2020, it is projecting a new vision for Saudi Arabia.

Provides automatic control of the videos loaded inside the panels. For example, the video will pause automatically when the panel closes, or the autoplay, if enabled, will stop when a video starts playing. Inside the accordion, videos can be added in the main panel container or inside layers.
The video types or providers supported by this module are: YouTube, Vimeo, HTML5, Video.js and SublimeVideo.
In order to have a video automatically controlled by the accordion, the video must have the
ga-video class. Also, there are some provider-specific requirements for the videos, as presented below.
The videos need to have the
enablejsapi=1 parameter appended to the URL of the video. It's also recommended to append the
wmode=opaque parameter. The parameters need to be delimited by
& .

The videos need to have the
api=1 parameter appended to the URL of the video.

Simple HTML5 videos don't need any preparations other than having the
ga-video class.
<video class="ga-video" poster="path/to/poster.jpg" width="500" height="350" controls="controls" preload="none"> <source src="path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4"/> <source src="path/to/video.ogv" type="video/ogg"/> </video>
Each Video.js video must have a unique 'id' attribute. Also, because the Video.js library changes the HTML markup of the video, we'll create a container element and add the
ga-video class to that element instead. Also, the container element must have the
data-video-id attribute, which is used to specify the 'id' attribute of the video.

 <video id="video1" class="ga-video video-js vjs-default-skin" poster="path/to/poster.jpg" width="500" height="350" controls="controls" preload="none" data-setup="{}"> <source src="path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4"/> <source src="path/to/video.ogv" type="video/ogg"/> </video>

Please note that, in order to use Video.js, you need to load the Video.js JavaScript and CSS files in your page. More information about how to use Video.js, in general, can be found on theofficial Video.js page .
Each SublimeVideo instance must have a unique 'id' attribute.
<video id="video2" class="ga-video sublime" poster="path/to/poster.jpg" width="500" height="350" controls="controls" preload="none"> <source src="path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4"/> <source src="path/to/video.ogv" type="video/ogg"/> </video>
Please note that, in order to use SublimeVideo, you will also need to load a script in your page which you need to download from the SublimeVideo page. More information about how to use SublimeVideo, in general, can be found on the official SublimeVideo page .
Most of the videos will work correctly only if the page is on a server. It can be a local server or an online server.
iOS doesn't allow videos to play automatically, so an initial user action is required in order to play the video. After the initial action, the videos will be controlled automatically.
When pausing a YouTube video automatically, on iOS, the video will be stopped instead, because only pausing it makes the entire region that the video occupies unresponsive to user input. For example, if another video slides in over the YouTube video, we won't be able to play this video because the controls will be unresponsive. However, this doesn't occur if the YouTube video is stopped instead of paused, so the accordion does this.
The control bar of SublimeVideo videos will become unresponsive on iOS if the 'auto' responsive mode is used. It seems that, in general, scaling SublimeVideo using the CSS3 'transform' property will make them unresponsive to user input.
This module is showcased in example3.html.

In case there was any doubt about Christie's insane level of popularity in New Jersey or his prospects for reelection this November, just take a look at the man's fundraising tallies so far. Can't touch this:
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is raising record cash for his re-election bid. …
In December, before Democrats had even rallied around a candidate, Christie had amassed almost as much as he raised in the entire 2009 primary. He has since begun an out-of-state fundraising swing, with an event last month at Facebook Inc (FB). co- founder Mark Zuckerberg's California home and an appearance last week in Wisconsin with Governor Scott Walker.
Christie, 50, is enjoying record approval in New Jersey for his response to Hurricane Sandy. Almost half of Democratic voters say he deserves another term as he leads his challenger, state Senator Barbara Buono, by 36 percentage points. …
Christie had raised $2.3 million by 2009's June primary, more than any other New Jersey candidate for governor who didn't finance his or her own campaign. For this year's race, he raised $2.1 million through Dec. 31, while Buono drew $215,000. The next fundraising reports are due in April.
Two birds, one stone: His gubernatorial reelection is a great way to build up a national donor base and show off his fundraising prowess, a pretty important skill set when it comes to running for president — and when his very probable landslide victory is in the rearview, he can really get to work on trying to mitigate some of the national Republican ire he's accrued recently (from RNC keynote to CPAC snub — politics is certainly a fickle beast).
What's more, Christie will be the head of the Republican Governors' Association in 2014, the year of both the Congressional midterms and a whole raft of gubernatorial races — and there's nothing like likeability/popularity and fundraising capacity to help get you back in everyone good's graces.

Historic Sites
Heceta Head Lighthouse signals to seafarers from atop a magnificent forested promontory just 14 miles south of Yachats. This working lighthouse, circa 1894, sits 205 ft above the ocean, and its beacon shines 21 miles out to sea, the strongest light on the coast. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. The historic assistant light keeper's house is a bed and breakfast. The elevation at Heceta Head reaches 1,000 ft. and is a nesting area for seabirds.
Free docent led programs and tours are offered at Heceta Head Lightstation year round, weather and staffing dependent.
LIGHTHOUSE INTERPRETIVE PROGRAMS: 11am-3pm daily
$5/vehicle/day use fee or valid OSP parking pass or Oregon Coast Passport
Visit the web site for lighthouse history and additional information.
24 miles N of Yachats
This Queen-Anne Victorian building holds a long and colorful history – from home, to boarding house, to funeral parlor, to museum.
Hours: 11am to 4pm, Thursday thru Sunday
Admission: $5 for adults, kids under 12 get in free.
Please check the web site below for additional information.
25 miles N of Yachats
Housed in an impressive former home on Newport's historic bayfront, the museum's exhibits and programming are dedicated to telling the stories of those who share a desire to live and work where sea meets land, and along its rivers and estuaries.
Hours: 11am-4pm Thursday through Sunday.
Admission: $5 for adults, kids 12 and under get in free.
The Little Log Church Museum at the corner of W 3rd and Pontiac streets houses historic photographs of the area, settler exhibits, and works by former resident artists and authors. It is staffed by volunteers and is open to visitors daily from Noon to 3 p.m. – closed Thursdays.
The church was built in the late 1920s by community volunteers using local timber hauled down the Yachats River. It was completed and dedicated in 1930. When the congregation outgrew this site, the church and property was sold to the Oregon Historical Society in 1969 and became a museum the following year. It was deeded to the city of Yachats in 1986.
From town, take a 9-mile scenic drive up the Yachats River Road to visit the historic North Fork of the Yachats River Covered Bridge. Seven miles up Yachats River Rd., you will cross a small cement bridge – turn left here onto the N Fork Yachats River Rd – a well-maintained gravel road – for the final two miles. (Street cars are fine, but the road will not accommodate RVs). Park in the small turn-out before the bridge and walk across. The N Fork Yachats Covered Bridge was built in 1938 with a Queenpost truss, one of the few of this type remaining in Oregon. It was faithfully restored in 1989, and in 2014. Look up the hillside above the bridge for a view of a giant old-growth Spruce tree that is 350 years old. If you make this trip in the early morning or evening, watch for elk grazing in pastureland shared by goats, sheep, horses and belted black cattle, affectionately referred to by local children as the oreo cows.
From the Visitor Center at Cape Perpetua you may hike The Giant Spruce Trail (2 miles round trip). The majestic old Sitka Spruce at the end of this trail is nearly 600 years old, more than 180 feet tall, and has a 40 foot circumference. It has been designated an Oregon Heritage Tree, and it has a truly amazing story of survival. See the article linked below.
26 miles S of Yachats (about a 40 minute drive)
Historic displays feature the pioneers whose occupations were primarily as loggers and fishermen, and whose primary means of transportation was the Siuslaw River.
If you are a group of 10 or more, please call to make reservations. Please check the web site linked below for additional information, current hours, and admission fees.
A History Walking Tour is also available.
The historic Yachats 804 Trail probably first served as a footpath for tribal people. It later became part of County Road 804, which included the 7-mile stretch of beach between Yachats and Waldport at low tide. County Road 804 served as the settler's route of travel between the farmland of the upper Yachats River valley and Waldport's Alsea Bay until the 1930s and the completion of Hwy 101. The highway replaced the oceanside portion of County Road 804.
The 804 Trail North begins from the parking lot of Smelt Sands Recreation Site and winds north 3/4 mile where it connects to the 7-mile stretch of sandy beach. During the 1970s a long legal battle ensued to have this section of trail vacated. Oregon's high court finally ended the argument with its ruling in the mid-1980s that the 804 Trail N must be continued. This 3/4 mile section of trail subsequently became part of Oregon State Parks.
Successful mediation with local home owners in the late 1990s allowed for the completion of the 804 Trail South. The 804 Trail South is about a mile in length, stretching from the south edge of Smelt Sands Recreation Site, across the lawn behind the Adobe Resort, through oceanside neighborhoods to Yachats State Recreation Area (at the west end of 2nd St) and to downtown Yachats on the north side of the Yachats River.

On the public release of carbon dioxide flux estimates based on the observational data by the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT)

The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT), developed jointly by the Ministry of the Environment Japan, the National Institute for Environmental Studies, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (hereinafter the Three Parties), is the world's first satellite designed specifically for monitoring atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from space. The satellite has been in operation since its launch on January 23, 2009.
The Three Parties will now publicly distribute the data of global CO2 fluxes on a monthly and regional basis for the one-year period between June 2009 and May 2010. These flux values were estimated from ground-based CO2 monitoring data and improved GOSAT-based CO2 concentration data.
It has been confirmed that uncertainties in CO2 flux estimates can be reduced by the addition of GOSAT data to the ground-based observations. This is the first concrete demonstration of the utility of satellite-based concentration data in the estimation of global CO2 fluxes.
It is expected that this progress in the field of global carbon cycle research will lead to more reliable climate change prediction and to the development of effective environmental policies for mitigating global warming in the future.
In order to obtain better CO2 flux estimates, the Three Parties will continue the effort of refining the data processing algorithms for the retrieval of CO2 concentrations from GOSAT data and the estimation of CO2 fluxes.
1. Summary of the data product release
(1) Net CO2 flux estimates
The Three Parties will publicly distribute the monthly estimates of net CO2 fluxes (Note 1) for 64 sub-continental regions from June 2009 to May 2010. These flux values were estimated from the global distribution of CO2 concentration retrieved from GOSAT observational data and ground-based CO2 monitoring data (Note 2), using an atmospheric tracer transport model (Note 3) and a Bayesian inverse modeling scheme (Note 4). Further explanations of the net CO2 flux estimation technique are found in the appendix to this document (attached). As examples, the net CO2 fluxes for July 2009 and January 2010 are presented in Figure 1.
(2) Reduction of uncertainties in flux estimates
It has been confirmed that uncertainties in CO2 flux estimates can be reduced by as much as 40% (annual average) with the addition of GOSAT data to the ground-based monitoring data. In particular, uncertainties of CO2 fluxes estimated for regions that are not covered by the ground-based monitoring network (e.g. the western seaboard regions of central Africa, southeastern Africa, the Middle and Near East, and India) were reduced by 20-30% (Figure 2). Thanks to these reduced uncertainties, it has become more definite that whether these "blank" regions serve as net sinks or sources of CO2.
(3) Simulation of CO2 distribution in the three-dimensional space
Based on the above-mentioned CO2 flux estimates, global three-dimensional CO2 distributions have been simulated. These estimated CO2 distributions will now also be released to the general public. It should be noted that these are the products of model simulations and include uncertainties intrinsic to modeling (the results and more details can be found in the appendix). The simulation results will be viewable at the NIES GOSAT Project website, after the statement by the Japanese Minister of the Environment at UNFCCC COP18. (URL:https://data.gosat.nies.go.jp/ – Click on "Gallery" in the left column to access the figures.)
2. Next steps
(1) Expanding temporal coverage
The temporal coverage of the 64-regional net CO2 flux estimates released this time (one year from June 2009 to May 2010) will later be extended to May 2011. The extended results will then be released to affiliated researchers, selected by means of GOSAT Research Announcements for Principal Investigators, in order for these estimates to be evaluated and verified. In addition, we will evaluate the accuracy and consistency of the results by means of comparisons with independent flux estimation results from other research groups. After the evaluation mentioned above, the extended data product will be released to the general public.
Additional information: development of a GOSAT follow-on mission
To further improve the accuracy of global flux estimates, it is required to enhance the capability of space-based greenhouse gas observation that covers the entire globe. Today, only GOSAT carries out this observation in the world. This year, the Three Parties have begun the process of developing GOSAT-2, a GOSAT successor with enhanced observing capabilities, aiming for a launch in 2017.
In developing GOSAT-2, the Three Parties also plan to refine the data processing algorithms used to analyze the satellite observational data and to estimate CO2 fluxes.
As space missions similar to GOSAT-2 are being planned and implemented by the U.S. and by other nations, the Three Parties will seek to broaden the international cooperation on space-based greenhouse gases observation.
1) Difference between the sum of CO2 emissions (anthropogenic emissions, wildfire emissions, and respiration by soil and terrestrial plants) and that of absorptions (uptake by terrestrial plants and oceans) on a regional basis.
2) Ground-based CO2 network data provided by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (GLOBALVIEW-CO2). Data available online at http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/globalview/index.html.
3) A computer program for modeling the transport and diffusion of atmospheric trace gases such as CO2 and CH4. The program is used to simulate spatial and temporal changes in the distribution of those gases. An atmospheric tracer transport model developed at NIES was used for this analysis. For the atmospheric transport simulations, the JCDAS meteorological data provided by the JRA-25 long-term reanalysis project, promoted by the Japan Meteorological Agency and the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, were used.
4) A scheme based on Bayes' rule to infer parameters from observational data. Detailed explanations on the data processing algorithm can be found in a peer-reviewed paper by Maksyutov et al. (2012): Regional CO2 flux estimates for 2009-2010 based on GOSAT and ground-based CO2 observations, Atmos. Chem. Phys. Discuss., 12 29235-29288, doi: 10.5194/acpd-12-29235-2012.
5) gC/m2/day: a unit for net CO2 flux. It expresses the net amount of CO2, converted into the amount of carbon, exchanged in one square meter of surface in one day.

Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), over the weekend led thousands of church members and others to call on God to defend the country from enemies waging war against her.
Shortly after honouring God through praise at the beginning of his sermon of the July Holy Ghost Service of the church at the Redemption Camp in Ogun State, he called on the congregation, which included people at viewing centres around the world, to pray for the defence of the country afflicted by tragedies and sorrow.
"Father, the Lord of Host; arise and defend Nigeria. Put an end to all the tragedies, sorrows, accidents and deaths in this nation," he led the congregational prayer.
He continued the call for God's intervention in his opening prayer that followed: "Father, today in every home where there is sorrow; let the Comforter comfort them in Jesus Name. In this country, let there be no more tragedies, killings, accidents and crises.
"Prince of Peace, please let your peace reign in Nigeria. Arise Oh Lord and defend Nigeria. Defend all the nations that the enemies are waging war against."
In recent times Pastor Adeboye has been commiserating on social media with families that suffer tragedies. He wore a solemn look as he prayed on early Saturday morning during the service with the theme Stronger Than Your Enemies – Part 7: (Permanent All Round Victory)
The theme runs through about six-hour long service of special prayers, praise and worship, testimonies and sermons, which draws people from around Nigeria and watched in over 160 countries where the church has branches.
The agents of death
In his own sermon, the first part of which was devoted to the need for salvation and a call to the altar, Pastor Adeboye pointed out death as a common enemy of everyone, and the war it wages through it agents – sickness, poverty and bondage.
Drawing a link between sin and the agents of death, he concluded: "So if you want freedom and victory tonight, then you need to get Jesus Christ quickly so that His blood can wash away your sins."
Tens of people responded to the altar call.
Pastor Adeboye's sermon on total and complete victory, which followed the altar call, dwelt on the story of Naaman, read from2 Kings 5: 1-14
"When we talk of complete victory, all round victory; it simply means that there is no area of your life whereby you are suffering any defeat again. It simply means that there is no reproach in your life," he said and noted that Naaman had a reproach in his life that reduced his success or victory in other areas of his life to nothing.
"He was at top of his career, wealthy, famous and loved by the King but he was a leper. This reduced all that he had to nothing."
The rich man who ate from the trash bin
Recalling an experience in the early days of the church at its headquarters in Ebutte Metta Lagos, he said people have various forms of reproach they try to hide.
He said, during a service what God told him to announce, he was afraid to repeat: That there was a very wealthy man in the congregation who ate from the trash bin and needed deliverance.
Later, during the testimony of the man he couldn't share in public, he confirmed to Pastor Adeboye that there was no meal he couldn't afford, but that after eating the choice meals, he would steal into the trash bin at night and eat from the leftovers in it.
The choice for Naaman as a case study was, as he said, because when God finished with him; his body was like that of a newborn baby – his victory was complete, absolute, permanent and he was never a leper again.
"The journey to this victory started within his house. There was one maid there who was brought in from a foreign country who wished the General could visit a Prophet in her native land as there was help at hand there.
"Watch from the story very well; the girl spoke to the wife of Naaman (she didn't do anything about it). But while speaking to her, others heard, told Naaman about it. Naaman told his King about it, his King wrote a letter to the King of Israel. The King of Israel got the letter, tore his dress and somehow someone told Elisha about it. Note the linkages.
God works in mysterious ways
"God works in mysterious ways. I don't know how God will do it tonight; He will do it in a mysterious way for you and connect you to the helper of your destiny as He did for Naaman."
He said Naaman was connected to the one who will give him permanent victory, but he nearly destroyed the plan of God for his life – the Man of God told him to go down to River Jordan and wash in it seven times but he got angry.
Describing Naaman's big problems as pride and anger, Pastor Adeboye, urged people to put anger and pride in check in order not to rob themselves of God's blessings.
Still on the Naaman story, he recalled that as Naaman was going away furiously in a rage, one of his servants stopped him to advise him. "If you know anything about the Military; even when Generals are not angry before you talk to them you must take a salute for permission. However, this man was in a rage, but because of God's special plans for him, a servant was able to stop him and advise him."
"When God has made up His mind to help you, nothing can stop Him," Pastor Adeboye stressed.
Forced trip to Akure
He illustrated this with another testimony! He had gone to preach at the University of Ife, as it was called then. But during the trip back to Lagos, God ordered him to turn left to Akure, instead of turning right. He said he obeyed, not knowing what he was going there for.
But on arrival in Akure, he was told to visit a home he was reluctant to go to. The host was in the bathroom and his wife who received him was shocked to see him.
When her husband emerged, he asked in nervous energy, "What are you doing here?"
"God sent me to you," Pastor Adeboye responded.
"Yes," the visitor confirmed.
"Ha! Okay, from now on it is Jesus all the way, no divided loyalty," the man promised.
Pastor Adeboye said the man was seated on the altar as he narrated the story that night,
The Naaman story, he pointed out, also shows how important it is to pay attention to details. "If God is talking to you; for your victory to be total, pay attention to details. Naaman was told to wash in River Jordan seven times and not five or six times. He dipped himself in River Jordan six times nothing happened; it was the 7th time that he came out clean.
"The Bible says that if you hearken diligently to the Word of God to do all the things that He commands you that is when things will happen."
Giving thanks
Concluding the sermon, he said one of the important things to do for one's victory to be permanent is giving thanks after God's intervention.
"After Naaman received his victory, he returned to say thank you. He returned to Elisha in 2 Kings 5: 15-19. The man of God said congratulations.
"The reason why most of us never had more than one breakthrough in life is because we never testify about what God did for us. We won't witness what God did for us to others.
"The elders have a saying that if a child is grateful for what he received yesterday, he will receive another one; and the person who is ungrateful is like an armed robber that stole your valuables.
"If that is to be true then I regret to say that there are many armed robbers among the Christians. Many cannot say thank you to Jesus Christ. He has healed so many people but they would not come out to testify so that others can listen to them."
Pastor Adeboye closed the sermon with his traditional blessing of the congregation, relished by all: "The Almighty God will bless you permanently. He will support you permanently. Whatever the enemies may want to toy with in your life will go. He will uphold you to the end. This month, He will link you up with Helpers of your Destiny.
"The Lord will bless your offerings, sanctify them and use it for His Glory. From now on, you will never lack. Your victory will be permanent.
"As you go, the Lord will go with you. You will find favour with God and men. On your way, Miracles will follow you. At home, Miracles will be waiting for you. In Jesus Name we prayed … Amen!!!"
As usual, there were testimonies from people God had touched. The most moving was that of Mr. Ola Erokin. For 24 years after marriage, they were trusting God for the fruit of the womb, until last year when Pastor Adeboye gave a word of knowledge that someone who was troubled over children should "relax because your case is settled".
Within a few months, Erokin said "things began to change" and in April 2018, they had their first child – after 24 years of waiting.

Milan Limbu is 21 Years old and has recently graduated from University for the Creative Arts with a BA (Hons) in Architecture.
He was inspired to follow this form of discipline due to the different level of interactions humans have with architecture; as well as his passions for nature and how architecture can influence our movement and attitude due to its form and materiality.
Artists such as Picasso, Braque and Mondrian have been an influence in Milan's art works since studying art at GCSE. As seen in his creations and design, Milan works with a lot of abstract forms in order to show a relationship between nature and architecture.
Lately he has taken an interest in kinetic forms and creates works that expresses how a human body reacts to the changing forms. The forms of the installations are developed to show a certain reaction he wants to create.
To find out more about Milan you can visit his website HERE or pop into the Gallery.

Ofsted Inspection
As an independent school, we are assessed against the Independent School Standards. The outcome of this latest inspection (7-9 February 2017) can be accessed below.
We are also inspected, as are all schools in England, under the Common Inspection Framework.
We are an 'Outstanding' School
Some quotes from the report:
Effectiveness of leadership and management – "The daily leadership of the school is innovatively led by co-headteachers, one with teaching and learning expertise, the other with social care and safeguarding skills. Together, the team oversees a truly effective therapeutic provision that uniquely and successfully teaches pupils who have autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health difficulties, together."
"Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a key strength, threaded through every possible aspect of the school's work…. Pupils are given every opportunity to reflect and understand how people from different cultures and backgrounds contribute to life in modern Britain. The school's work to teach pupils about equality and diversity, as exemplified during lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) history month, is highly effective."
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment – "The school's approach to teaching pupils is innovative and unique. In addition to more traditional class-based teaching of core subjects and a wide range of accredited courses, pupils are taught leadership, and thinking and social skills. These skills are taught in an integrated way through an engaging, therapeutic curriculum. As a result, pupils make excellent progress."
Personal development, behaviour and welfare – "Pupils' social and emotional well-being is developed as a matter of priority. As well as through the offer of individual therapies, pupils rapidly develop their social skills and resilience to manage their emotions through the school's unique therapeutic approach."
Outcomes for pupils – "Observations in lessons and pupils' work show that current pupils in all year groups make rapid rates of progress in a range of subjects, particularly in English, mathematics, science and art. Pupils make especially excellent progress in their social and communication skills, and emotional well-being. More recently, progress in reading has improved even further as a result of the daily 'drop everything and read' initiative."

Presentations associated with porphyrias in intensive care units
Porphyrias are a group of uncommon congenital metabolic diseases that are difficult to diagnose as they often present with nonspecific symptoms, mimicking other diseases. A significant number of patients with porphyrias have been admitted to intensive care units with acute abdominal pain, neuro-psychiatric symptoms, or hyponatremia. Due to the nonspecific symptoms, many patients have a delayed diagnosis. Moreover, some patients have received treatments that precipitate acute porphyric attacks, such as antibiotics or antiepileptics, causing worsening of symptoms. This article reviews the various clinical presentations and appropriate treatment of acute porphyrias in the ICU. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are important for preventing long-term disability and achieving good outcomes.

so in the new x299 mobos, there are 5 physical pcie slots but can i realistically use all 5 at the same time? i get confusing explanations and even the mobo support can't conclusively provide me with a solid answer. eg gigabyte has 5 physical pcie slots and their user guide mentions something about if you have a 44 lane cpu you can use 3 slots in a 16/16/8 configuration. if you have a 28 lane cpu, you can only go 2-way in a 16/8 configuration. but is that pertaining only to gpus or all types of cards which means if i had a 28 lane cpu, i'm relegated to only using 2 slots. then they mention something about the remaining 2 running at x4/x4. does that mean i can use those 2 slots regardless of whether i use the other 3 or 2 higher speed slots?
i've googled this to death and i can't find any answers.

I typically have a red nose and it's always got these little bumps on like spots. My dermatologist did say a while ago it was acne rosacea but my nose was much worse back then so not sure if it's still the same thing but just not as aggravated? I've tried course after course of anti biotics for it but it just comes back. I haven't managed to find any skincare or any foods in particular that calm it down, it's just really bad one day and one day it's fine.
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Roll Tide Roll
Dear Micah,
I have a kinda unique problem. My husband has gone Alabama football crazy. We just moved to Birmingham this summer from Washington (the state not the capital). He's from Alabama and we moved to be closer to his family. I never knew my husband to be so wild over football. He never went this crazy over watching the Cougars. Now we have Crimson Tide stickers all over our cars and he decks out in Tide shirts, pants, hats, jackets, the whole enchilada. Have I lost my husband to a cult? On Saturdays among his family and friends, I feel like the only one the pods haven't overtaken. Is this just my life now or does it eventually settle down to a livable level?
Dear Nonbeliever,
It will never get better and it will never stop. Grasp that concept and love your husband through it. It's just for football season, if you're lucky. There is a slight possibility that you may also encounter similar fervor during Alabama baseball and basketball seasons. Although that typically doesn't excite as many people as the football does. It's been my experience, being born and raised in Tuscaloosa, that the most avid baseball and basketball fans usually live in Tuscaloosa.
Your husband's newfound devotion to Team Alabama probably is not new. If he is from here, then he was this way before he moved to Washington. You just didn't know him back then. Now he's home and around fellow Bama fans, and that is bound to increase and exaggerate his devotion. You are not going to stop this. I suppose that where you come from, sports are an enjoyable past time, not a religion. But you are in Bama country now, and the rules are much different.
I myself do not partake in the football frenzy. As I said, I come from the backyard of the Crimson Tide, and my mother worked for the University, so I've had my fill, thank you. However I can understand the kind of exhilaration the Tide might incite. You mentioned watching the Cougar; maybe you felt something similar when you watched them. I am assuming the Cougars are a sports team and not a group of middle-aged oversexed women, although watching that could be fun, too. I myself might feel the same kind of excitement if the cast of One Life to Live came to town.
For your husband, the Crimson Tide is the thing in life that makes him giddy. It is a nostalgic piece of the past for him while simultaneously remaining current and new. My advice to you is to join the pod people. You will not stop the game from playing on your TV and you will not succeed in cleansing the Tide off of him. I am from here. I know. I've seen wives try. They always fail. Down here, the most successful marriages are the ones where the couple share the football craze. It's a religion here. So like it or not, Nonbeliever, you need to indoctrinate yourself.
My suggestion is that you actually attend some of the home football games in Tuscaloosa. I detest football and find the whole thing ridiculously overblown, yet even I get caught up in it and find myself cheering and joining in on the few times I have attended a game in person. There is just something about being there: The tailgaters, the different memorabilia stands, the energy of the crowd in the stands. You'll find yourself jumping up and doing "the wave" the moment it starts moving around the stadium. Although, I could never seem to get in sync with the wave and catch it at the right time; I always seemed to stand up and toss my arms in the air seconds after the wave had passed, looking like a complete fool.
Anyway, as I said, your only options are to divorce and go home or join him. And at the end of the day, silly as it all may seem to you and me, isn't it really a good thing? In this world of greed and hate and people always drawing distinctions between themselves and others, there is something like football that has the power to draw many of the people together as one big family of fans. They are all equal and they are all brothers, sisters, and neighbors when they are donning a crimson shirt with a slanted A. (Or an orange and blue shirt with a bird on it for Auburn fans). And as for those stickers covering your car, you stand a much better chance of having a stranger stop to help you change a flat tire if you have Alabama decals on your back windshield, because one fan would never leave another fan in distress!
I'll Have a Blue Christmas
Dear Micha,
I share custody of my kids with my ex-husband. We have an unusual situation in that we get along really well. I have a request I need to make of him and I don't know how to bring it up. I don't want to risk ruining our good standing with each other. Last Christmas morning our kids were with me. This Christmas they are supposed to be with him. This has been a tough year for me. I had a parent die and a relationship that broke up. Christmas looks pretty depressing for me. I really want my kids with me Christmas morning. Do you think I should ask him to let me have them again this year? And if so how do I bring it up?
Dear Jenna,
Maybe he'll see this post, know it's you, and offer. If not, then let's hash it all out together. First of all, sorry about your loss on both fronts. That's hard to handle with the holidays looming. I completely understand your desire to have your children with you. The problem is that your ex had to sacrifice his Christmas morning with his children last year as per your agreement, and he complied without issue. It's really not fair to deprive him again this year. And what happens next year when it's your turn again? Will you let him have them or make the assumption that he "passed" his turn to you and it's your turn again? Should you let him have the kids for the next two years to make up for his loss during the last two? Or will you just have the kids three years running and then it's almost as if the kids' Christmas tradition is with mom and it'll be strange whenever they finally go to Dad's for Christmas?
I think it is a mistake to change the plan. I really believe that the kids need to go to Dad's this Christmas. You didn't elaborate, but I am assuming that the plan is for Dad to get the kids on Christmas Eve, so perhaps you could do your Christmas with them on Christmas Eve morning, or even Christmas Eve afternoon. Also, I wonder if Dad has remarried? Has a girlfriend? Is there any reason why you couldn't ask him if you could pop over sometime on Christmas Day to see the kids? If you have a good relationship, he probably wouldn't mind as long as it doesn't make a girlfriend or spouse uncomfortable. It never hurts to ask. Or perhaps you don't even have to ask. Maybe just mention when you're talking to him how depressing this Christmas is going to be for you. Who knows, he may invite you on his own.
The only thing I can say for certain is, though I sympathize with your feelings this year, I do not think it's right or fair to put your children's father in the awkward position of having to deny you something in your heartbroken condition or have to sacrifice his own holiday cheer for you. Just try to nudge him into letting you drop by for an hour or so.
(P.S. You spelled my name wrong. Normally I'd have changed it but lots of people misspell it this way, so I decided to use you as an example. It's written right here on the page, people!).
Battle of the Meat Eater and the Vegan
Dear Micah,
My wife has turned vegetarian and has begun to put pressure on me and my son to go veggie too. We are meat men. I can't go the rest of my life without my steaks and ribs and burgers. She just keeps bitching. What can I do?
Dear Carnivore,
Kill her. Then eat her.
Seriously though, this is a difficult problem. I don't know what I'd do. I WILL NOT give up meat. I'd divorce first. I'm not kidding. If I crashed in the Andes with a plane full of people, I'd be the first one to pull out a bottle of Dales and suggest we eat some folks. I cannot go without my meat. I love my bacon and chicken and steak and pork belly and ribs and all of it! I also hate vegetables. In fact I don't think I even eat any. I have been told that peas, beans and potatoes aren't vegetables, so if that's the case, I don't eat any vegetables at all.
Your wife is from one of two camps: she just wants you to live a healthy lifestyle, or she's become a radical anti-meat person and will not stop until you give in to her. I don't know which category she falls into. The first can be reasoned with, the second cannot. There are vast nutritional advantages to eating vegetables, just like there are also health advantages to eating meat. So, I really don't think it's healthy for your children to be total vegan or too meat-oriented. I think during their formative years, they need a mix of both. But I'm not a doctor, so check with one if you need to.
Explain to your wife that you feel just as fervently about your diet choices as she does her own. Let her know that it is possible for the three of you to live in a household together and each have different eating habits. Granted, you should not expect her to cook your meat for you if she feels revolted by it, but you can make it yourself. Surely she will acquiesce a little and compromise. Maybe she'll leave you to your meat and allow your son to decide for himself when he's at an appropriate age. If there is a debate going on between you and your wife over your son's diet, let your pediatrician make the decision of what is best for your child to eat. He will probably encourage vegetables and understand the need for a small meat portion. If your wife is indignant and refuses to compromise, then turn vegetarian or leave her. Or eat her like I first said.
If you have a question you'd like to ask Micah, please email it to [email protected]. your question may be selected for a future article!

It's cool how every single aikido class gets better and better. We literally have no mundane classes at our dojo.
Tonite for half the class we worked on owaza #1-5 from 2-wrist grab conditions, then for the second half we worked on junana 1-5 using a cool teaching method that Usher-san showed this weekend. Nice flow, good intensity, plenty of falling, and decent repetition.
It's really cool having the best aikido class and the best aikido teacher around right here at our school!

Pete Rameys New Book
LassieLu replied to BlakGrafix drawings's topic in Horse HoofSent you pm!
Happy birthday! :)
OK, here's my update post....neener neener (lol) Trimmer doesn't clear quarters, doesn't really pull toes back, puts bevel on back of heels to get them back further. They have trimmed twice now, and I just can't keep my hands off afterwards...They came out prepared to put on leather pads and casts for all her pathology but changed mind when saw her and how much progress I had made since last visit. I think their 4 wk schedule is much too long when dealing with these feet. When they left, I was told to apply bevel to heels about every 2 wks, call if I had any questions or needed them to come back out. Also said there is a shoulder disparity, and that RF needs to be raised, possibly could do a wedge to raise heel up (after cutting way down to help stimulate proper pressure/growth) and take wedge down as heel grew in correctly...but that wasn't something I wanted to do anyway. Lets treat the correct foot...the one that is TOO LONG. And the hinds are another story. After lots of questions by me on how to deal with it, they finally realized they were being misled by what they were seeing. They had to go back and redo the hinds after measuring as they had missed it too. So now I will be addressing the wall heights by measuring CG. Hope that will start some long awaited transformation. I know, still a LONG way to go, but the way they are approaching it...I don't see a decent foot happening for over a year or more at their rate. Left Front - kinda small Right Front and PS - don't try to take pictures of a horse who is not squared up, and who is on uneven ground and tell me about limb differences. Get on a flat surface. I am a detail oriented person.... Actual hoof pics in album http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/aa288/Jumps4Lu/Lassie%20Hooves%20%20Sept%2023%202012/

LassieLu replied to Smilie's topic in Horse HoofThank you!
Thrush Treatment
LassieLu replied to pcs's topic in Horse HoofYes, you are thinking of "Ramey's goo" One tube of antibiotic cream and one tube of athletes foot cream mixed together. White Lightning can be purchased for about $15 for a bottle, mix it with vinegar and then soak. Oxine is another one you can mix with vinegar and soak. Clean Trax is another. If you look around the web, I think I have found it for about $16 on someones website (a barefoot trimmer) Hope that helps?
Changing Barns - Worried About Nsc Level...+ Vent
LassieLu replied to LassieLu's topic in Horse HoofNo, I haven't. I will see if I can get in touch with them this weekend. The feed store told me they didn't have an NSC value since it was an expensive test....is that true? I mean, they make their own mix and supply a lot of barns. My current barn uses their mix but has bran added to it as well (but also feeds other feeds).
Thought this was interesting and a helpful visual http://blog.easycareinc.com/blog/bootmeister-natural-hoof-care-tips/heels

Changing Barns - Worried About Nsc Level...+ Vent
LassieLu posted a topic in Horse HoofCurrent barn was just put up for sale last month, so that plus 3 medical issues in 3 weeks indicates a change is really needed. New barn will have approx. 6-7 hours turnout M-F. They also grow their own hay (I think she said they have it tested, but am not sure). Downfall...is they feed a local mix that is a 12% sweet feed. When I called feed store, they didn't know NSC value, but said it would be close to a Purina Omolene 100. What I found online says its 40% !!!!! Not sure if its the Straatman version or CheckRMix. This is Straatman's 12%: For maintenance of horses Guaranteed Analysis Crude Protein, not less than 12.00% Crude Fat, not less that 2.75% Crude Fiber, not more than 15.00% Calcium, min 1.00% Calcium, max 1.50% Phosphorus, min 0.50% Copper, min 21ppm Selenium, min 0.45ppm Zinc, min 95ppm Vitamin A 3,000IU/lb Ingredients Processed grain by-products, grain products, forage products, magnesium mica, calcium carbonate, molasses products, salt, grain products, plant protein products, vitamin A supplement, ethylemediamine dihydruidide, maganous oxide, copper, sulfate, zinc oxide, vitamin E supplement, vitamin D supplement, ferrous sulfate, sodium selenite, cobalt carbonate. Feeding Directions Feed with hay and/or pasture to make a complete ration for horses. Feed mature horses at a rate of ? to 1 pound per 100 pounds body weight, along with 1 pound to 1 ? pound hay or equivalent pasture per 100 pounds body weight daily. After observing your horse for a period of time, you may want to increase of decrease the daily feeding of Straatmann Country Pride Sweet 12 to keep your horse in the desired condition. The amount required will vary, depending on the quality and amount of hay or pasture consumed. That is the only feed they use. She said that most horses do well with the 2 flakes of hay in Am and 2 flakes in PM, plus a 1/2 of 3qt scoop at each feeding of the sweetfeed. Now I am worrying that this will not be a good thing. This place is 12 miles further out, and more expensive. A place where I can do pasture board is an hour and 15 minutes away, and I know she keeps a good eye on her horses, as she breeds and sells TB's/sport horses. The distance / gas was the deciding issue on that place - I would be lucky to get out there once a week, plus about $28 for gas round trip (diesel truck) I am just so frustrated right now with this. I sold my 'good' smooth older horse, who my daughter adored (due to financial difficulties and time). Now my mare is being a freight train, not listening when being ridden, crow hopping when asked to canter and just being a butt head, and I sure don't want to put my daughter on her if she is acting up. (This has gone on since I moved her down to the stall with a run 2.5 months ago). I am worried my daughter is going to hate horses since my mare is much bouncier than old horse, and I feel like I never get to ride since horse is always having an issue. I have a 'new' barefoot trimmer that has offered to take care of horse's hooves if she can do a case study. I was not impressed with the first time she trimmed and casted...but am willing to give it a go if I don't have to pay for it. I think they follow the equine podiatry train of thought. I guess main thing is...what do I do about the huge jump in NSC level? She is currently on Strategy GX, and gets a total of 6lbs a day, and 4 flakes grass hay. Please help... EDITED because I wasn't in my right mind when I posted

Soli Deo Gloria
Home About Images Workshops Contact Storytelling FCC School of Photography
As primarily a documentary photographer this section represents the bulk of what I do. I love to show the diversity and vitality of life in a variety of ways and perspectives. These are past and present stories from the Diablo Canyon Nuclear protests of the 70 and 80's to the ongoing Kings River Project. Presented as a historical documentation of what was, what is, and perhaps giving us a window into what our future might be.
The West
While primarily a documentarian, I'm also drawn to abstracts and fine art of photography. There is a certain thrill of creation when working a fine art idea that seems absent in storytelling. Each has its unique place in my heart, but there is just something about a single refined image. Throughout the West I find an incredible palette of images and people that reflect not only our individuality, but also our dependence on understanding one another and our surrounding environment.
For many Americans Europe is the ultimate destination. It is quaint, historic and holds many areas of incredible beauty. Over the last several years I have been fortunate to travel to 'The Continent' and see many of these areas. However, my travels are not the normal tourist type, but more like wanderings in the humble places. Some of the images here are iconic, but others are just subtle. For Europe, like America, there is much to be found away for the major centers.
Off the Beaten Path
Every photographer has a portion of their work that they really don't know what to do with. Off The Beaten Path is mine. These are images that I found funny, stupid or just plain weird reflecting the absurdity of the human condition. While man can celebrate his accomplishments and show his greatness, I think there are times we need to show our silliness. Please enjoy.
Hey, what can I say, my main medium is B&W and is my first love, but the world wants color so here is a concession to it.
Mechanicals & Botanicals
This project was undertaken out of shear boredom! My wife was sick with the flu and I found myself housebound. I had an idea of contrasting God's creation vs. mechanical objects. I starting pulling things out of my kitchen, garage and garden. I investigated various pairings of items. The result was a series that have been called disturbing and elegant. I refer to them as "Parables" because each relates to the perfection of the natural world contrasted against the mechanical man-made objects of obsolescence. A storied contrast of our material verses God's natural world.

T-G Staff Writer
In anticipation of the release of the final installment of the Harry Potter book series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," children and parents gathered at the Cookie Cafe Monday to watch the first four Harry Potter films.
The Cookie Cafe is one of the area businesses to feed Harry Potter mania, hosting a film festival featuring an altered Harry Potter-friendly menu and movie trivia all week. Each beverage is named after a character in the book and can be ordered in mud blood, half blood and full blood sizes.
Children relaxed on bean bags under Slytherin and Dumbledore banners, munching on popcorn while several parents sat on tiny chairs to refresh their memories of Harry Potter chronology. As they watched, approximately 20 children filled out trivia sheets, whispering to each other to get enough clues to answer questions.
"I've read the first four books," 12-year-old Patrick Brean said. "I'll probably skip to the last one when it comes out, though."
Brean came to watch the film with his father and brother who got him started on the series several years ago. According to Brean, they all saw the fifth movie last Friday at midnight and plan to buy copies of the last book for themselves Saturday morning.
"I like the fifth one the best," 10-year-old Leif McFrederick of Ashland said. "I'm not sure why, but it's probably the action."
McFrederick said he began reading Harry Potter books with his mother when he was in second grade and currently was halfway through the sixth book. Leif's mother Susan brought her three children to the event, along with two friends of the family.
"The books are just fascinating," Susan said. "When they first came out the church thought they were bad and we didn't read them for a while, but we kept hearing about how good they were."
According to Susan, though the series deals with witchcraft and magic, she tells her children
the family believes in God and not magic.
"It's what you put into it," Susan said. "It's fiction like any other fiction book you read -- you tell your kids it's not going to happen."
The McFrederick family plans to come back to the Cookie Cafe for the films, go to the party Friday and watch the fifth film on the weekend.
"A lot of people do the movie marathons, but we saw doing the movies as a great way to build anticipation with readers," Cookie Cafe co-owner Skip Fulton said. "It also expands the big event Friday."
Before the book release 12 a.m. Saturday, the Cookie Cafe will host a non-stop Harry Potter movie marathon until the Muggle Mania '07 release party at 9 p.m. The movies will be shown continuously 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday. The party will feature a Bertie Bott's jelly bean-tasting contest, costume contest, oragami, Harry Potter trivia and face painting.
"We did this with the last book and it was a huge success," said co-owner of the Cookie Cafe, Cheryl Coon. "We had 225 people last time and that was when we stopped counting -- it may be even more this year."
In the event as many as 300-plus Harry Potter fans arrive to the release party, Fulton said the Commerce Mall hallway will open. The entire mall fell under the Harry Potter spell for the week, temporarily renaming their businesses with banners proclaiming "The Leaky Cauldron" for Scorchers and "Gringotts" for Sutton Bank. If the room is needed and weather permits, an overflow of fans may move outside as well.
"People who read the book at 12 to 13 years old 10 years ago are in their 20s, so there will be some other fans here," Fulton said. "Last time we had someone who was easily in their mid-50s for his own interest, not his kids."
Fulton said even though the majority of attendees to the event two years ago were adults, there is an expectation of the event being a night for children.
To get ready for the rush of Potter readers, the cafe ordered 200 copies of the book. As people enter the Cookie Cafe, they will be given raffle tickets to keep their numbers in line to buy the book. According to Fulton, so far the figure covers more than enough to meet advance orders. Scholastic Press and Bloomsbury have not placed a cap on how many copies a retailer may order, but booksellers may need to wait for the book up to three days between shipments.
"We just hope we don't run out until we get the next shipment," Fulton said. "I'm guessing the madness will die down after about two weeks, though."
Until the release of the book, all book retailers must keep the novels within their business and not offer any prior release privileges to employees. Coon and Fulton said with the leaks of the sixth book, publishers required companies to sign multiple strict releases concering the book to ensure no one ruins it. Any retailer caught distributing the book ahead of time will be barred from ever carrying the books.
Ashland Public Library ordered six copies of the book that will be available Monday and Loudonville Public Library ordered 10 copies of the book that will be available Saturday. Ashland University bookstore, Eagles Nest and office of student activities will host a movie marathon 3 p.m. Friday until the release of the book at 12:01 a.m. Saturday at the bookstore. All events are free of charge and open to the public.

Hello All,
This newsletter is bit late this month, please forgive me, I've been on the road quite a bit lately and fell a little behind. Summer is drawing to a close, but there's still plenty of time to squeeze in some beautiful outdoor photos, whether you are the photographer or the one being photographed.
July saw several projects here at Dengrove Studios. I completed my second shoot in an abandoned location. This time it was an abandoned insane asylum in Rockland County, NY. It was definitely creepy, but resulted in some great images. Look for them to be posted shortly.
August is a great time to have a swimsuit shoot done. The weather is warm, skin is tan, and by now everyone has gotten their bodies into perfect shape for the summer. Speaking of which, I will be shooting a beach shoot with a model in a week or two that should produce some very striking images.
If you or anyone you know would like to schedule your own beach shoot, simply click here and fill out the form. For a limited time we'll wave the location fee. That's a $50 value!!
Don't forget to visit the new Dengrove Studios Blog. Currently we are in the middle of our 5-part series discussing how to use the different exposure modes on your camera. You are guaranteed to pick up some great photography tips, no matter what skill level you have and type of camera you use!
I hope everyone has a great end to the summer, and as always comments and feedback are welcome and appreciated, and now you can post them on the blog. If you have need of a photographer or know anyone who does we are always looking for new projects and business.
Scott Dengrove

Find out more about what we're planning for Baby Loss Awareness Week 2015 here.
The 9th-15th October is Baby Loss Awareness Week. Throughout the week bereaved parents can commemorate their babies' all-too-brief lives, knowing that thousands of parents elsewhere in the world will be doing the same. The week also provides a crucial opportunity for people to talk openly about the subject of stillbirth and neonatal death and raise awareness of an issue that needs more attention.
The week ends with Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on 15th October. On this day, we would like to invite you to take part in the global 'Wave of Light' to remember all the babies that died during pregnancy, at, during or after birth. Simply light a candle at 7pm and leave it burning for at least 1 hour. This can be done individually or in a group, at home or in a communal space. Wherever you do this, you will be joining a wave of light uniting the world in honour of those babies who lit up our lives for such a short time.
You can also show your support by wearing a Baby Loss Awareness pin.

I let Facebook know of my recent descent into vampirism: mainly how I am shunning the day for long hours spent roaming around skyrim with mage hands and watching Studio Ghibli movies and reading ASoIaF as fast as I can. I feel like I should be saying how sorry I am that I am able to do this, but really I'm just happy as a clam (a clam tucked up into pajamas and flufflies).
I roped my mom into it too, though she's only playing Bingo on a horribly stingy Facebook app and providing a warm side leg for the cats.
We occasionally venture out to Starbucks and hiss at the sun.
So there's my current state. I only made the list for the Spring textbooks today and soon I have to enter reality again. After New Year's Day of course. I'll be ringing in 2012 the sci-fi or fantasy style.

How Videos Are Found And Consumed Online
To try to understand—let alone guess—the future of video advertising, one needs to start by looking at the biggest trend in media over the past few decades. In November 2006, Bear Stearns Cable and Satellite analyst Spencer Wang published a study called "Why Aggregation & Context and Not (Necessarily) Content are King in Entertainment". While Bear Stearns has since been acquired by JP Morgan and is now a mere footnote in business books, the study's findings are more relevant than ever. Let's examine 8 key factors behind online video consumption
Factor 1: Media is Fragmenting
According to a recent NY Times article, in the 1952-53 season, more than 30% of American households watched NBC during prime time, according to Nielsen. In fact, up until twenty years ago, you could buy a 30-second spot on CBS, NBC or ABC and reach "everyone." Today, NBC's prime time reach is 5%. Sure, NBC is lagging CBS and ABC, but neither the Tiffany network nor Disney's counterpart is faring much better. The secret's out: fewer people watch TV and teenagers spend every waking minute connected to the Internet, increasingly through the mobile web.
