Refreshments will be available on arrival and there will be a break during the afternoon for discussion.
Who should attend?
Primary practitioners who wish to start teaching French in Key Stage 2; Primary French Subject Coordinators; initial teacher trainees; classroom teaching assistants; headteachers.
Why should I attend?
This one-day course, part of the Primary French Project, will provide classroom teaching resources and support so that you can start to teach French in Key Stage 2. The course is based on teaching materials devised as part of the project, and which are freely available to all participants. The teaching materials do not comprise a full scheme of work, but provide exemplification of the Key Stage 2 Programme of Study for Languages. Practitioners attending this training course are encouraged to use the materials to teach French in school, thereby extending their training and enhancing their subject knowledge.
Niveau bleu materials are aimed at children in Year 3, or children in their first year of learning French in Key Stage 2.
Niveau bleu materials are fully aligned with the new Programme of Study for Languages in Key Stage 2, and are very simple and user-friendly. They comprise lesson plans in Word format, and PowerPoint presentations designed for use on the interactive whiteboard.
This course will help you to:
- Teach French in Key Stage 2, using the materials provided;
- Understand the Key Stage 2 Programme of Study, and how it can help me to plan and teach French;
- Use suitable methodology for teaching French in Key Stage 2;
- Understand how children can make progress in French;
- Improve my subject knowledge;
- Make links with children's prior and concurrent learning, especially in English;
- Develop many innovative ideas and practical strategies for use in the classroom;
- Acquire the confidence to get started, and to understand how to use a wider range of resources.
What is the Primary French Project?
The Primary French Project was launched on 14th March 2013 at the French Embassy in London and involves a high-profile partnership that aims to support primary schools throughout England. The Primary French Project Partnership brings together three organisations:
- Institut français du Royaume Uni (IFRU)
- ALL – The Association for Language Learning
- Network for Languages
All three organisations came together for the purpose of supporting primary schools wishing to teach French as part of the new statutory curriculum from September 2014.
The support will include the development of teaching resources to exemplify the Key Stage 2 Programme of Study for Languages (French), outreach to as many primary schools as possible, the development of training courses for teachers, and professional development opportunities, such as "Getting Started with French – Niveau bleu".
Further information about the Primary French Project can be found at: www.culturetheque.org.uk/learn/primary-french

Quality Assurance
The Network-based courses for language teachers have been compiled and accredited by leading practitioners from across the country. They have been rigorously monitored and evaluated and are updated and added to regularly.
New courses and workshops are being created by our teams of consultants and trainers – we are constantly on the look-out for ideas and suggestions that will help us to meet the needs of teachers across the region. We share these ideas with the network and undertake internal or cross-regional monitoring and evaluation procedures.
We have an Academic Board made up of colleagues from regional universities, and the business sector as well as experienced teachers and school leaders. Their role is to oversee the work of the service and advise us on its activities as well as helping us to measure its impact and the outcomes of its work.
Courses and workshops are regularly observed by external assessors in order to assess the quality of contact and delivery and their value for money. Feedback and evaluation forms are completed at the end of each event and follow-up feedback sought from delegates.

1 A Circus Come to Town [ C-rank Mission | Solo ] on Mon Nov 14, 2016 9:04 pm
- The Mission:
- Mission name: Gatekeeper
Mission rank: C
Objective: Guard the gate.
Location: Konoha
Reward: 150 ryo
Mission description: Standard mission. Take a standard 6 hr shift at the great gate leading intto Konoha as a guard.
Mission details: Not a very interesting job. Keep an eye on those entering and leaving the village with another shinobi ( this can be an NPC ). The gate is the village's first defense. Make sure paperwork gets done for those who need it when they're visiting, like wanderers, and make sure that no shinobi leave the village without proper permissions. If anything out of the ordinary happens report to the administration building when finished.
While time is relative, time of course always remained at the same pace. But to Ginza, the moon was slow to set and the sun, equally slow to rise on this particular morning. The blond, of course, didn't really know why he felt like that today as he watched the sky slowly lighten with pink, red, and orange hues with the sunrise to the east, but he wanted the time to go faster; Even if he didn't really have any reason to be anxious about the time today. There was nothing particularly exciting was on his schedule, but he supposed that he was bored just sitting reading a book. Perhaps that, and the fact that the material he was reading was rather dry, was the reason why?
Ginza had woken up rather early today, nearly four hours ahead of schedule at three a.m. in the morning of all things, when his mission didn't start until eight in the morning. But now that the sun was finally rising he supposed that it would spur him into action from where he'd simply been lying in his bed with his book. Giving a hum he set the book on his bedside table, looking over the red cover that was stamped on the binding with the title of "The Structure of Akido," for a brief moment before giving a great stretch, attempting to relieve the tension that had developed in his muscles.
A yawn escaped him as he finally found the energy to get up from his bed and go about his usual morning routine, bathroom first for showering, brushing his teeth, and other such personal hygiene things. Then out and to his closet to dress in his typical uniform, and then to breakfast. Breakfast wasn't anything particularly interesting for the shinobi, just a simple oatmeal, giving how tight his funds were at the current moment in time. Still, that didn't keep him from doctoring it up just a bit with some sugar. The shinobi took his time eating the oatmeal until he finished and looked over at his clock. It was just about time to leave for the day.
So, gather the items that he would need for the day and head out the shinobi did, wandering towards his assignment at the front gate of Konohagakure. He'd had the assignment once already with a friend of his named Kubo, and it hadn't been bad at all. Though, he knew that he likely wouldn't be paired with the other man for a while, considering that the other was a Jounin and he was only a genin still – though not for much longer. So, he found himself wondering who it was who he'd be assigned to this time, and the times in the future that he knew that he'd be assigned to this very same post as he walked. It would be interesting to get to know them and gather intel on them all.

Partly. Many parents who are 'in the know' register their children from a very young age to ensure that they have a place reserved in our Nursery or Reception classes. However we are a large school and to meet demand we have recently expanded our numbers (although we have also reduced our class sizes), so this makes things a little easier. It is always worth calling the school to find out the latest position on places. We also have a fresh intake of girls join us every year into Years 3 and 5.
No, but we hope when your child leaves us he or she will be! Many of our children are of what one might term 'average ability' but, through the tuition they receive, achieve well above average levels of achievement. More to the point, we give them the confidence and opportunity to uncover abilities and skills in other areas, and therefore show that they are by no means average!
We are not academically selective before the age of 7. All we want to be sure of is that your child will flourish and be happy at Warwick Prep. We establish this by means of a taster day.
If you would like your daughter to join Warwick Prep from Year 3 onwards, she will have to pass an entrance test to ensure that she will be able to benefit from the academic nature of the work covered in Key Stage 2, which includes much specialist teaching. If you would like us to carry out an informal assessment of your daughter prior to the assessment itself, please contact the Marketing & Admissions Department who will be pleased to assist.
That's quite hard to say because all schools are so different and offer such a variety of opportunities to their pupils. There are several key areas in which Warwick Prep might be different.
We work very hard to provide parents with the best possible value for money. We benefit greatly from 'economies of scale', being a large school. We have modern, purpose-built facilities which are relatively efficient to maintain, heat and light. Our connections with Warwick School and King's High School mean that we can also benefit from their facilities without the cost of building and maintaining them ourselves - Warwick School's indoor swimming pool and chapel, the Bridge House Theatre and Bridge Sports Centre, to name but a few.
Warwick Prep does have a large number of very academically able pupils, as well as some highly talented athletes, musicians, actors, artists and linguists. Expectations are high but one of the secrets of our success is that we have extremely creative teachers who make lessons not just challenging, but also interesting and relevant. Working hard to be your best and to do your best is the norm. As a result, each year scholarships and awards are won to a variety of senior schools and our pupils have opportunities to succeed at a high level in national competitions and events, academically, musically and in sport.
The majority of our pupils live within Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth and Stratford, plus the surrounding villages. Being a very popular school with an excellent and long-standing reputation, we also draw our pupils from a much larger area to include Coventry and Rugby to the north, Banbury to the east, Evesham and the Cotswolds to the south and Solihull, Bromsgrove and Birmingham to the west. There is a Foundation bus service available to those who live in these more distant locations for pupils aged from 7 to 11.
Yes and many do so with great success each year. Typically these are girls who may appear to be coasting a little and who would benefit from the specialist teaching and wide range of extra-curricular oportunities offered by the school. Warwick Prep is an excellent choice if parents are considering more academic options for senior school, including King's High.
No. Based on their progress at Warwick Prep, and their aptitude, girls will be offered a place at King's High during the Spring Term of Year 5. If there are any concerns about whether a girl will continue to thrive at King's High this will be addressed with parents in advance and then the Entrance Examination may be used to determine a place, as with candidates from outside the Foundation.
If a girl joins Warwick Prep during Year 5 or Year 6, then again, the Entrance Examination may be used to determine a place, as with candidates from outside the Foundation.
Children can be dropped off from 7:45am each morning as there is full supervision until the day starts formally at 8.40 am. There is no charge for this early morning session.
Children from Nursery upwards can join our After School Care provision for either a short time or through to 5.45 pm. If staying later, the children receive a light tea of sandwiches, cake and a drink. Additional charges for After School Care apply.
There is also a significant number of after school clubs and activities which many children like to take part in.

Congress has yet to audit it. Congressman Wright Patman was Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency for 40 years. For 20 of those years, he introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913.
Congressman Henry Gonzales, Chairman of a banking committee, introduces legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913 nearly every year. It's always defeated, the media remains silent, and the public never learns the truth. The same bankers who own the FED control the media and give huge political contributions to sympathetic members of Congress (Reference 12, P. 155-163, Reference 22, P. 158, 159, 166).
We, the People, are at fault for being passive and allowing this to continue. Rep. Louis T. McFadden (R. Pa.) rose from office boy to become cashier and then President of the First National Bank in Canton Ohio. For 12 years he served as Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, making him one of the foremost financial authorities in America. He fought continuously for fiscal integrity and a return to constitutional government (Reference 1).
(Sidebar): Louis Thomas McFadden (July 25, 1876 – October 1, 1936) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.
In 1914, McFadden was elected as a Republican Representative to the Sixty-fourth Congress and to the nine succeeding Congresses. He served as Chairman of the United States House Committee on Banking and Currency during the Sixty-sixth through Seventy-first Congresses, or 1920-31. Though re-elected without opposition in 1932, in 1934 he lost to the Democratic nominee. He was an unsuccessful candidate for nomination in 1936.
McFadden's main official legacy was the working on and the passing of the McFadden Act of 1927 limiting federal branch banks to the city in which the main branch operates. The Act sought to give national banks competitive equality with state-chartered banks by letting national banks branch to the extent permitted by state law. The McFadden Act specifically prohibited interstate branching by allowing national banks to branch only within the state in which it is situated. Although the Riegel-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 repealed this provision of the McFadden Act, it specified that state law continues to control intrastate branching, or branching within a state's borders, for both state and national banks.
McFadden is also remembered as a "vociferous foe of the Federal Reserve," which he claimed was created and operated by European banking interests who conspired to economically control the United States.
On June 10, 1932, McFadden made a 25-minute speech before the House of Representatives, in which he accused the Federal Reserve of deliberately causing the Great Depression.
McFadden also claimed that Wall Street bankers funded the Bolshevik Revolution through the Federal Reserve banks and the European central banks with which it cooperated.
McFadden moved to impeach President Herbert Hoover in 1932, and also introduced a resolution bringing conspiracy charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The impeachment resolution was defeated by a vote of 361 to 8; it was seen as a big vote of confidence to President Hoover from the House.
According to Time magazine McFadden was "denounced and condemned by all Republicans for his 'contemptible gesture'. The Central Press Association reported that he was "virtually read out of his party…[had] his committee posts…taken away from him…was ostracized by Republicans [and] called crazy…".
Sen. David A. Reed (R-PA) said "We intend to act to all practical purposes as though McFadden had died".
(Sidebar): A stellar lesson for an individual who would seek ethics and honesty.
(Editorial): Corruption has always owned the biggest gun, albeit as history has proven time and again (right) ..in the proper venue will conquer (might) ..every time.
In 1933, he introduced House Resolution No. 158, articles of impeachment for the Secretary of the Treasury, two assistant Secretaries of the Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and the officers and directors of its twelve regional banks.
In 1934 he made several Anti-Semitic comments from the floor of the house and in newsletters to his constituents wherein he cited the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, claimed the Roosevelt administration was controlled by Jews and objected to Henry Morgenthau Jr., a Jew, becoming Secretary of the Treasury.
Drew Pearson claimed in his Washington Merry-Go-Round column that McFaddon had, in an publication by the Silver Shirts, made various comments "in support of Adolf Hitler".
In September the Nazi tabloid Der Stuermer praised McFadden.
He was also lauded by the publications of William Dudley Pelley, leader of the fascist Silver Shirts, on several occasions.
On election day that year he lost to Charles E. Dietrich by "about 2,000 votes". This was the only election between 1912 and 1950 when the district elected a Democrat.
According his Jewish Telegraphic Agency obituary 'In January 1935, he announced his candidacy for president with the backing of an organization called "the Independent Republican National Christian-Gentile Committee" on a platform to"keep the Jew out of control of the Republican Party!"
Not garnering much support for his presidential bid he tried to win back his congressional seat but lost the nomination by a wide-margin to Col. Albert G. Rutherford who went on to win the general election. (Source Wikipedia).
The following are portions of Rep. McFadden's speech, quoted from the Congressional Record, pages 12595-12603:
The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks acting together have cost this country;
About the Federal Reserve banks, Rep. McFadden said, "They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; the rich and predatory money lenders. This is an era of economic misery and for the reasons that caused that misery, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks are fully liable."
On the subject of media control he state, "Half a million dollars was spent on one part of the propaganda organized by those same European bankers for the purpose of misleading public opinion in regard to it." Rep. McFadden continued, "Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has…
No man and no body of men is more entrenched in power than the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks.
These evil-doers have robbed this country of more than enough money to pay the national debt.
What the Government has permitted the Federal Reserve Board to steal from the people should now be restored to the people."
"Our people's money to the extent of $1,200,000,000 has within the last few months been shipped abroad to redeem Federal Reserve Notes and to pay other gambling debts of the traitorous Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks.
The greater part of our monetary stock has been shipped to foreigners. Why should we promise to pay the debts of foreigners to foreigners?
Why should American Farmers and wage earners add millions of foreigners to the number of their dependents?
Why should the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks be permitted to finance our competitors in all parts of the world?"
Rep. McFadden asked. "The Federal Reserve Act should be repealed and the Federal Reserve banks, having violated their charters, should be liquidated immediately.
Rep. McFadden concluded (Reference 1, contains an entire chapter on Rep. McFadden's speech)…
If the media is unbiased, independent and completely thorough, why haven't they discussed the FED? Currently, half the states have at least a grass roots movement in action to abolish the FED, but there's no press coverage.
In July, 1968, the House Banking Subcommittee reported that Rockefeller, through Chase Manhattan Bank, controlled 5.9% of the stock in CBS. Furthermore, the bank had gained interlocking directorates with ABC.
In 1974, Congress issued a report stating that the Chase Manhattan Bank's stake in CBS rose to 14.1% and NBC to 4.5% (through RCA, the parent company of NBC).
The same report said that the Chase Manhattan Bank held stock in 28 broadcasting firms. After this report, the Chase Manhattan Bank obtained 6.7% of ABC, and today the percentage could be much greater.
It only requires 5% ownership to significantly influence the media (Reference 14, P. 56-57). This is only one of 300 wealthy shareholders of the FED. It is believed other FED owners have similar holdings in the media. To control the media, FED bankers call in their loans if the media disagrees with them (Reference 25, P. 134-137).
Rockefeller also controls the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the sole purpose of which is to aid in stimulating greater interest in foreign affairs and in a one world government.
Nearly every major newscaster belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations. The Council on Foreign Relations controls many major newspapers and magazines.
Additionally, major corporations owned by FED shareholders are the source of huge advertising revenues which surely would influence the media (Reference 14, P. 56-59).
It can be no wonder why groups such as FED-UP(tm). receive minimal, if any, press attention. How do taxpayers stop financing those whose purpose it is to destroy us?
First, expose their activity, then demand change.
THE SOLUTION: Currently all we do is exchange FED money (interest attached) for real U.S. money (interest-free) dollar for dollar as Kennedy tried to do. We should not be required to pay interest on our own currency.
According to Benjamin Franklin, this was one of the primary reasons we fought the Revolutionary War. Today we are still fighting the same family of bankers (Reference 4, Reference 1, P. 5.) 211, 212).
The U.S. Government can buy back the FED at any time for $450 million (per Congressional record). The U.S. Treasury could then collect all the profit on our money instead of the 300 original shareholders of the FED.
The $4 trillion of U.S. debt could be exchanged dollar for dollar with U.S. non- interest bearing currency when the debt becomes due.
There would be no inflation because there would be no additional currency in circulation. Personal income tax could be cut if we bought back the FED and therefore, the economy would expand.
According to the Constitution, Congress is to control the creation of money, keeping the amount of inflation or deflation in check.
If Congress isn't doing their job, they should be voted out of office.
Unfortunately, voters can't vote the FED or its Chairman out of office.
If the government has a deficit, we could handle it as Lincoln and Kennedy did. Print money and circulate it into the economy, but this time interest-free.
Today the FED, through foreign banks, owns much of our debt and therefore controls us. The FED will cease to exist as taxpayers become informed and tell other taxpayers. The news media and Congress will have no choice but to meet the demands of grass roots America. (Reference 1, P. 17, 22)
AMERICA DECEIVED By law (check the Congressional record), we can buy back the FED for the original investment of the FED's 300 shareholders, which is $450 million dollars. (Reference 1, P. 227, Reference 17, P. 36).
If each taxpayer paid $25, we could buy back the FED and all the profit would flow into the U.S. Treasury.
In other words, by Congress allowing the constitutionally illegal FED to continue, much of your taxes go to the shareholders of the FED and their bankers.
Note: The people who enacted the FED started the IRS, within months of the FED's inception. ***
The FED buys U.S. debt with money they printed from nothing, then charges the U.S. taxpayers interest.
The government had to create income tax to pay the interest expense to the FED's shareholders, but the income tax was never legally passed (Reference 20 shows details, state-by-state why it was not legally passed).
The FED is illegal, per Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. Not one state legally ratified the 16th Amendment making income tax legal.
Currently, fewer and fewer Americans are being convicted for refusal to pay income taxes.
In IRS jury trials, the jury, by law, must decide if the law is just.
If taxpayers do not believe the law is just, the jury may declare the accused innocent.
Judges are legally bound to inform juries of their right to determine the fairness of a law. Judges often do not disclose this information so they can control the court outcome.
Luckily, more and more citizens are becoming informed. If one juror feels the law is unfair, they can find the defendant innocent (Reference 19).
In Utah, the IRS quit prosecuting taxpayers because jurors verdict is not guilty.
Please tell your friends and sit in the next jury. If we eliminate the FED and uphold the Constitution, we could balance the budget and cut personal income tax to almost nothing.
In Congressional hearings on September 30, 1941, FED Chairman Eccles admitted that the FED creates new money from thin air (printing press), and loans it back to us at interest (Reference 17, P. 93).
On June 6, 1960, FED President Mr. Allen admitted essentially the same thing (Reference 22, P. 164).
If you or I did this we would go to jail. It is time to abolish the FED!
To Be Continued…
Don't take any wooden nickels, I'll be back tomorrow
Crusader Rabbit…

In the battle against cart abandonment, a well-quarantined checkout can prove to be a powerful weapon.
At Ometria's latest breakfast seminar, renowned ecommerce expert Dr Mike Baxter gave us a lesson in checkout quarantining, alongside eleven other ecommerce conversion 'hacks' (now available in a downloadable ebook called 12 hacks for boosting your online selling power.)
In the video, Mike explains why it's important to quarantine your checkout, as well offering some technical advice on how to achieve this without a huge development project.
Quarantining the checkout area - this is something that I've been barking on about for years, it seems. Essentially, when someone enters your checkout, there's only one place you want them to go and that's the end of the checkout.
So why surround them with all sort of interesting global navigation, drop down menus, promotions and footers: you want the basic information there and you want to get rid of all the rest.
So here in Currys' case you move from quite a rich navigational context to this checkout area where you can go 1, 2, 3, finish. There's no header bar. The logo is hyperlinked to the homepage and this button will get you back to the basket. There may be some links to terms and conditions, but apart from that everything else goes.
The thing that I think is worth noting is that this sounds like an awful lot of hard work but it doesn't necessarily have to be. What you're doing is you're trying to hide certain components, so just use CSS display:none. They can still be there, just not visible.
So I think that for many organisations this is a hack that is very achievable, even though it sounds like you might have to redesign your whole checkout."

Make sure that you've chosen the right stair lifts specialists to provide the services you need before entering into any agreement. Hiring the bad service provider can have stressful and expensive consequences. It's crucial to check out online reviews and ratings and talk with references to verify claims made by a potential service provider. If you follow our suggestions, you'll make the right decision about which Surprise stair lifts firm to work with.
Because customers ultimately make or break a business, make customer relations a pillar of your business strategy. Enlist customer care executives to train all of your workers in customer relations skills. Customers remain loyal until you give them a reason never to be.
Make certain the businesses you hire carry insurance and are bonded. Through the insurance policies, your investment will probably be protected even when the stair lifts specialists fails to live up to the legal agreement. It's also worth it to have peace of mind while the project is being completed.
When you are looking to sign a legal contract with a service provider, ensure that you feel the stair lifts specialists is one with integrity. Businesses that truly value their customer relationships won't charge you more than was agreed upon and will always meet your quality standards. Integrity also means that the Surprise stair lifts firm readily fixes any blunders made.
Every stair lifts specialists needs to have an effective process for resolving customer complaints in a manner that honors and preserves customer relationships. This will not only reinstate some amount of trust in the client but it surely is also likely that they will give the Surprise stair lifts firm another chance to deliver the order. Most customers understand that businesses are run by imperfect people, and they are willing to forgive an error if it's quickly rectified. However, it is crucial to note that this can only be achieved if all of us practice honesty and transparency.
When you have a time-sensitive project, ask each stair lifts specialists you interview whether or not it can spare its staff for overtime. Hire only a business that's willing to put staff on your project for as many hours as possible to complete the job. Even if the Surprise stair lifts firm hasn't dealt with a problem like yours before, it should be willing to adapt its practices to fit your needs.
If you work as a customer service representative, never end a conversation with a customer until you are absolutely sure that she is satisfied with the current status of the situation. Paying attention to the needs of the customer will be extremely important in helping them. Effective communication skills are also required to prevent misunderstandings that can damage customer relationships.
Whenever a low estimate on a project seems too good to be true, it probably is. Conversely, high prices aren't any guarantee of high quality. If you select a stair lifts specialists that charges a moderate price, however, you will probably get the best combination of value and quality.

The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Coralie's father runs a sideshow on Coney Island, although he prettifies it by calling his establishment a museum — the museum of the title, to be precise. And he's groomed his daughter her whole life to become one of the exhibits in that sideshow. With Dreamland, the amusement park, undergoing expansion just a short walk away, the Professor (as he prefers to be called) is struggling to hold on to the tiny niche he's carved out for himself. With Coralie as his living mermaid, he thinks he's found his draw. Coralie, a dutiful daughter, does as she's told, and doesn't truly understand how she's abused. This treatment is her norm, although she doesn't like it, and she practices tiny rebellions to alleviate her miserable existence.
Eddie, an erstwhile tailor's apprentice and bookmaker's runner, left his father and his Jewish heritage behind with scarcely a look back, and currently makes a living as a photographer, stalking the streets of New York in search of news, and occasionally wandering into the wilds along the Hudson to shoot nature and commune with the quiet. As you may expect, eventually Coralie's and Eddie's worlds collide, and therein lies our story.
New York in the early 1900s makes a bustling and dramatic backdrop for our hero and heroine to play against: both the horrific Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the conflagration that destroys Dreamland figure heavily into Hoffman's plot. And I know I'm not doing that plot justice with this synopsis. Let me just say that within the confines of this novel you'll find people of all sorts: beautiful, disfigured, frightening, gentle, loving, manipulative, terrified, overbearing, wealthy, destitute, determined, hopeless, and most of all wonderfully human: people who are making their way the best way they can in the cold cold city.
A sweet and unsettling story.

and a few days later I was in Macao and entered upon my duty as a folder on a salary of $4.50 a month. My board and lodging came to $1.50 —the balance of $3.00 was punctually sent to my mother every month. I did not get rich quickly in this employment, for I had been there but four months when a call for me to quit work came from a quarter I least expected. It had more the sound of heaven in it. It came from a Dr. Benjamin Hobson, a medical missionary in Macao whose hospital was not more than a mile from the printer's office. He sent word that he wanted to see me; that he had been hunting for me for months. I knew Dr. Hobson well, for I saw him a number of times at Mrs. Gutzlaff's. So I called on him. At the outset, I thought he was going to take me in to make a doctor of me, but no, he said he had a promise to fulfill. Mrs. Gutzlaff's last message to him, before she embarked for America with the three blind girls, was to be sure to find out where I was and to put me into the Morrison Education Society School as soon as it was opened for pupils.
"This is what I wanted to see you for," said Dr. Hobson. "Before you leave your employment and after you get the consent of your mother to let you go to the Morrison School, I would like to have you come to the hospital and stay with me for a short time so that I may become better acquainted with you, before I take you to the Morrison School, which is already opened for pupils, and introduce you to the teacher."
At the end of the interview, I went home to see my mother who, after some reluctance, gave her consent. I returned to Macao, bade farewell to the priest who, though reticent and reserved, not having said a word to me during all the four months I was in his employ, yet did not find fault with me in my work. I went over to the hospital. Dr. Hobson immediately set me to work with the mortar and pestle, preparing materials for ointments and pills. I used to carry a tray and accompany him in his rounds to visit the patients, in the benevolent work of alleviating their pains and sufferings. I was with him about a couple of months in the hospital work, at the end of which time he took me one day and introduced me to the Rev. Samuel Robins Brown, the teacher of the Morrison Education Society School.
The Morrison School was opened on the 1st of November, 1839, under the charge of the Rev. S. R. Brown who, with his wife, Mrs. Brown, landed at Macao on the 19th of February, 1839. Brown, who was afterwards made a D.D., was a graduate of Yale of the class of 1832. From his antecedents, he was eminently fitted to pioneer the first English school in China. I entered the school in 1841. I found that five other boys had entered ahead of me by one year. They were all studying primary arithmetic, geography, and reading. I had the start of them only in reading and pronouncing English well. We studied English in the forenoon, and Chinese in the afternoon. The names of the five boys were: 1. Wong Shing; 2. Li Kan; 3. Chow Wan; 4. Tong Chik; 5. Wong Foon. I made the sixth one and was the youngest of all. We formed the first class of the school, and became Brown's oldest pupils throughout, from first to last, till he left China in December, 1846, on account of poor health. Half of our original number accompanied him to this country, on his return.
The Morrison Education Society School came about in this way: Not long after the death of Dr. Robert Morrison, which occurred on the 1st of August, 1834, a circular was issued among the foreign residents on the 26th of January, 1835, calling for the formation of an Association to be named the "Morrison Education Society." Its object was to "improve and promote English education in China by schools and other means." It was called "Morrison" to commemorate the labors and works of that distinguished man who was sent out by the London Missionary Society as the first missionary to China in 1807. He crossed the Atlantic from London to New York where he embarked for China in the sailing vessel "Trident" on the 31st of January, 1807. He tried to land in Macao, but the jealousy of the Jesuits thwarted his purpose. He was obliged to go up to Canton. Finally, on account of the unsettled relations between the Chinese government and the foreign merchants there, he repaired to Malacca, and made that place the basis of his labors. He was the author of the first Anglo-Chinese dictionary, of three quarto volumes. He translated the Bible into Chinese; Leang Afah was his first Chinese convert and trained by him to preach. Leang afterwards became a powerful preacher. The importance and bearing of his dictionary and the translation of the Bible into Chinese, on subsequent missionary work in China, were fundamental and paramount. The preaching of his convert, Leang Afah, likewise contributed in no small degree towards opening up a new era in the religious life of China. His memory, therefore, is worthy of being kept alive by the establishment of a school named after him. Indeed, a university ought to have been permanently founded for that purpose instead of a school, whose existence was solely dependent upon the precarious and ephemeral subscriptions of transient foreign merchants in China.
At the close of the Opium War in 1840, and after the Island of Hong Kong had been ceded to the British government, the Morrison school was removed to Hong Kong in 1842. The site chosen for it was on the top of a hill about six hundred feet above the level of the sea. The hill is situated on the eastern end of Victoria Colony and was called "Morrison Hill" after the name of the school. It commands a fine view of the harbor, as that stretches from east to west.

Hello. My name is Dave Jacobson and I am responsible for the contents of this site.
During the end of Obama's presidency, we all could start to see how broken our system of government has become. And it has only gotten worse.
Last summer I watched for the second time: Liberty: The American Revolution. It is a documentary that focuses on the Revolutionary War, and in episode 6, the last, it covers the development of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is where I first heard the phrase "Tyranny of the Majority." The Founding Fathers and citizens were VERY worried that the Federal government would become the Tyranny of the Majority, and usurp the rights they had fought for. And so they wrote the Bill of Rights to protect us.
I can't exactly say it came to me in a flash, but soon thereafter I realized that we have gone completely off the rails with regard to how the Founding Fathers expected the government to work: Each state making its own laws, and its people pursuing happiness according to their family values. Federal Government only "as required".
The key to change at this time in our history is dumping the Democrats and Republicans in the trash. We can do this if we come together…and the powers that be can't do anything about it!
Let me know what you think. And please share if you agree!

GARY — Two men were killed in separate shootings late Thursday into Friday morning, police said.
One man was killed in an apparent domestic dispute, while another man appeared to have been shot dead while driving, police Cmdr. Jack Hamady said.
The two cases bring the total number of homicides in Gary so far this year to 30, compared with 25 at the same time last year. The number of people wounded in shootings was 55, down from 65 at the same time last year, Hamady said.
Kevin Hayden, 54, of Chicago Heights, was found inside a home in the 4000 block of West 10th Avenue about 5:27 p.m. Thursday after his ex-girlfriend called police to report a gunshot victim, police said.
The 40-year-old Gary woman met officers at the home and was taken into custody for questioning, Hamady said.
Hayden was taken to Methodist Hospitals Northlake Campus, where he was pronounced dead about 7:15 p.m.
Hayden's death was ruled a homicide, but the cause of death was pending further investigation, according to the Lake County coroner's office.
On Friday morning, police responded to the area of 17th Avenue and VanBuren Street for a report of a car off the road with a driver slumped over the wheel, Hamady said.
Officers located a car in a grassy area at 9:42 a.m. occupied by a male driver who appeared to be lifeless, he said. The man was identified as a 24-year-old Marquis Sample from Gary.
Damage from gunfire was found on the car, he said.
Anyone with information for either case is asked to call the Lake County/Gary Metro Homicide Unit at 219-755-3852. Detective Gregory Fayson is investigating Hayden's homicide, and Detective Michael Equihua is handling the case with the 24-year-old Gary victim.
To anonymously report crime in Gary, call 866-CRIME-GP.

The Centre hopes to build strong interdisciplinary collaborations amongst researchers so as to promote "ground-breaking" research.
Western's Mary J. Wright Research and Education Centre is a community-university partnership between the Faculty of Education, Western University, and a Community Agency ("soon to be announced) – a collaboration that is committed to generating, coordinating, and overseeing state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research that has the potential to inform our understanding of the conditions that influence early childhood outcomes and, in turn, the development of evidence-based early childhood education and intervention programs and services. Specific attention is paid toward translational research designed to address significant inequalities in opportunity, foster the health and well-being of our most vulnerable children, and identify the protective processes for enhancing outcomes for all children. Researchers are also committed to serving as "capacity-building" agents who hold responsibility for sharing their research and development with child professionals to build ownership and capacity for the institutionalization and sustainability of their findings. Moreover, emphasis is also directed toward preparing the next generation of developmental and family researchers and professionals through service learning, practicums, and internships.
Please contact Dr. Vicki Schwean if you wish to be a member of the Centre.

Colossians 1:21-23 MSG
"You yourselves are a case study of what He does. At one time you all had your backs turned to God, thinking rebellious thoughts of Him, giving Him trouble every chance you got. But now, by giving Himself completely at the Cross, actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God's side and put your lives together, whole and holy in His presence. You don't walk away from a gift like that! You stay grounded and steady in that bond of trust, constantly tuned in to the Message, careful not to be distracted or diverted. There is no other Message – just this one. Every creature under heaven gets this same Message. I, Paul, am a messenger of this Message."
This podcast is a repost, originally published on January 21, 2016.
Colossians 1:21-23, is beautifully articulated by Paul on how Jesus brought us from where we were to where we are.
Your life is a testimony of what God has done and can do. It's a case study of what He does. God is a God of love, mercy, grace and favor. He enjoys lavishing His love upon His children. He not only gave Himself completely for you, but He gave His own life up for your sake, so that He can buy you and bring you into God's side and put your lives together.
Jesus died so that you are not only forgiven, but you can be whole and holy.
You are complete because Jesus died for you.
The way that we see ourselves is the way we will live. If we live thinking that it is in our hands to work out our future to still go to heaven, then we will never be able to do it. But if you have the belief and the understanding that, Jesus died not only to forgive our sins, but also to make us whole and holy then that perspective changes your mind. You will not be worried about what others think of you. You begin to think what you are to God. That's when you begin to realize how valuable you are as a person and the way that you use your words, body, money and relationships changes. It all brings real eternal outcome. You no longer want to spend your life with something that doesn't bring you value. Because, when Jesus died for your life, He believed that there's some eternal value inside of you that is worth dying for and is of worth to purchase your entire life. When you believe that, you begin to realize that you are not loved because of what you do, but because Jesus loved you even when you were in the pit of sin. When you come to this knowledge, you would preach this message on the cross that Jesus died for you.
When you receive this gift of God, you don't walk away from it. You bind yourself to it. You stay grounded. You will stay steady on it. You will not get diverted. I pray that this is how you will be able to live your life today.
"Father, I pray that the spirit of grace to come upon my friend's. That they will have the earnest belief that they are loved and cared for from heaven. Even when disappointing things come and things that doesn't glorify you happen in their life, we know that You still love them. I speak Your love upon their hearts and I declare that this week they will live a victorious life. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen!"

Blockchain Tourpool
The first blockchain sports pool
Maximum of 8 riders
When you go to the next page you can click the register button. You will then be asked to pay the transaction fees (usually around € 0.50 in Ethereum, but currently around € 5).

We will show your standing in the pool and also the top 10 wallet addresses public keys and their points.
The winner will automatically get paid
When the final Tour de France results are communicated we will finish the stage first and then award all the points based on the rules. The contract will automatically decide on the winner and transfer the 1 Ethereum to him or her as a reward. The biggest reward is of course the title of winner of the first Blockchain sports pool ever!
If you don't have an Ethereum wallet and/or MetaMask, it's quite easy to get started. First of all you'll have to use a laptop or desktop computer to do all of this.
To create an Ethereum wallet you can go to myetherwallet.com. You can click on create new wallet and think of a password. Then be sure to download the keystore file of your wallet.

The first post-war, comprehensive Gdynia Downtown Plan was at the same time one of the first spatial development plans in Poland defining the directions of transformation of multifunctional downtown structures in the new system and legal realities. It was the Plan of the Polish Breakthrough related to the realities of the downtown area of Gdynia. The study area included the Gdynia Valley limited by the hills of Kamienna Góra, Redłowo and Chylońskie Forests with the development of a complete pre-war city developing in accordance with the fi rst plan of Adam Kuncewicz from 1925 in the zone of 3 km, counted from the center of the inner port. The aim of the plan was to look for centralizing potential in the fi eld of research. This concept was treated as a power degree related to the then existing state, as well as the possibility of further development or transformation.

This paper aims to describe how the largest suburban development area for the city of Gdynia has been redesigned according to "New Urbanism" principles to become a new town district for potentially 40,000 inhabitants. Before MAU's engagement in the project, a comprehensive vision for the area was lacking: new housing developments tended towards its car-dependent sub-urbanisation. The author was charged with organising an urban planning Charrette in May 2012 bringing together developers, city officials, inhabitants and experts in urban design, planning, architecture, traffic, sociology and location marketing. Key to the solution was the necessity of the restructuring of the road network, which had to be redesigned to enable the development of walkable neighborhoods and a distinctive new town center for the district. This would allow to have most daily uses within a 5 minute walking distance, such as schools, shops, recreation areas and public transport. In addition, three different pro-active strategies have been proposed to accommodate workplaces within the district, based on the economic profile and potential of Gdynia. A new Master Plan for the district was accordingly devised, planning procedures were set in motion, and a new legal plan (MPZP) fi nally approved in August 2017.

The main objective of the article is an attempt to indicate factors which determine the image of a city as a good place to live as well as to reveal the ways in which they affect the citizens' quality of life. In order to do so, the author selected the city of Gdynia which is perceived as the best city to live in by its citizens. Among the most important factors determining the quality of life in general there are: the scale of a city, local identity, public spaces, symbolic places, housing environment, perception of a place, personal satisfaction of a place where a particular person lives, urban policies as well as presence and activeness of local leaders. The article presents the results of a social study carried out by the author herself during two periods of time – in 2004 and 2014 as well as the results of the Social Diagnosis 2015.

Gdynia Sea City – Development Strategies on Post-harbour Sites

During the 1920s and 1930s Gdynia transformed from a small fishing village into a dynamically developing city through the construction in its vicinity of the largest seaport of interwar Poland. The city's first expansion plan (1926, Adam Kuncewicz, Roman Feliński), designed for approximately 100 000 inhabitants, had to be revised already within a few years because development of the port has proved to be faster and the terrain requirements of the port substantially greater than originally predicted. In effect grounds originally planned for general city functions were yielded to the rapidly developing port. It was not until 2003 when the port boundaries shifted significantly as a result of restrictions and changes in the nature of port activity. These changes freed around 53 ha of post-harbour sites for new development, attractively located in the immediate vicinity of the existing city centre and waterfront. In 2015 the port boundaries shifted again adding 3 ha more of post-harbour sites. The changes also spurred investment in the north of downtown Gdynia – in accordance with the intentions of first city planners. Ideas how to make good use of post-harbour areas have been invented and evolved since 1990s. The concept which is currently under development was prepared in 2008 by the City Planning Offi ce of Gdynia. Since 2010 analyses and studies of future development have been conducted using 3D model. The concept is continuously updated and new details are added based on projects obtained through architectural competitions. Since 2015 development areas of the northern part of the city center were rebranded as Gdynia Sea City. In accordance with this concept Gdynia Sea City will be the modern city centre with areas designed for leisure, relaxation and business and will be inhabited by more than 10 thousand people. The area's new grid is a continuation of the urban grid of historical downtown Gdynia and draws upon unrealized city plans of the interwar period. The scale of new buildings in the area is reminiscent of the historical buildings in the area. Groups of higher buildings are allowed outside of a protected area of the historic center, in areas selected through view and cityscape analysis. The residential and commercial complex Sea Towers together with two other newly constructed tall buildings is currently the dominant in this area. Several new development complexes are under construction. Planning concepts assume public availability of quays around the port basins and maintaining spacious openings towards the sea. Construction of marinas is expected using part of the docks and the ability to expand and reduce existing wharves, movement of pedestrians and cyclists between Fishermen Pier and South Pier will be facilitated through the construction of a bridge or a ferry connection. The planned enlargement into the post-harbour areas will double the current potential of Gdynia downtown, and enlarge the scope of representative areas and change the panorama from the historic city center and from the sea. Attractive downtown sites can provide an answer to the issue of uncontrolled urban spill into peripheral areas of adjacent municipalities.

Mt. Airy resident Bill Simon's memoir, "Frontline Human Services Delivery 1970-2011; Was I part of the Problem or Part of the Solution?" tells the story of how a member of the Dog Town gang became a youth services gang control worker, where he discovers his passion for empowering and advocating youth. He discusses the extreme stress and depression that social workers, mental health workers and other professionals in the human services department face on a daily basis.
From his carefree and reckless days as a member of the Dog Town gang to a determined youth gang service worker, where he discovered his passion for social service work. Simon, 65, discusses how the extreme stress and trauma he experienced while working as a juvenile detention worker eventually led to his addiction with drugs and alcohol.
His journey to become a social service professional began on that fateful night of April 4, 1968, when Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed. "We used to hang out at the sandlot on the 100 block of Sharpnack Street across from the Richmond junkyard," he said. "Every spring, we would have what we called the opening of the corner to drink wine, shoot dice and plot mischief. There was always this gladiator mentality. We would send our charge out, and the other gang would have their charge to see who was the best with their fists. I was 16 at the time and one of the youngest members of the gang."
Simon said Johnny Boy, a youth-gang worker from the United Progressives, headed by Melvin Burgess, informed the boys that Martin Luther King, Jr., the "turn-the-other-cheek, peaceful preacher" had just been assassinated. He said the news filled the gang members with rage.
"Brother Dave and Johnny Boy urged us to make sure Dr. King's assassination would not be in vain. They said we had to cease our gang turf wars, cut off our processed hair, clean up our community and learn who we were as a people…we attended their community-organizing and political education classes…and became a shadow to Brother Dave and Johnny Boy."
As a community organizer for the Republic of New Africa during the race riots at Tasker Homes Housing Projects, he worked to organize street-youth gangs and encourage them to participate in "purposeful community activities like the breakfast program."
On July 4, 1970, Simon was arrested after nearly being beaten to death by a group of drunk white men. After the charges were dropped, Lt. George Fencl, head of the Philadelphia Police Civil Disobedience Unit, helped him get his first job in social service as an "Indigenous Gang Member Youth Service Member.
"My assigned street gangs were Mau-Mau, Black Bottom and Tasker Pjs. Our job was to build a rapport with gang members and pacify and mentor them through various programs, including job placement, mentoring, truancy-intervention programs, family counseling and organized sports."
The services were delivered "24/7 on an on-call basis to defuse tension within the gang or rival gangs."
Simon said service members met monthly with several at-risk youth-related agencies including school truancy programs, the police's Juvenile-Aid Division, the Recreation Department, community sports leagues, performing arts groups and civic organizations. And the program worked until the city cut funding and privatized the gang-control unit.
In 1977, Simon got a job at a long-term juvenile detention facility working with adjudicated delinquent youth. "I was 27 years old at the time," he said. "The kids housed there were between the ages of 12 and 21. It was always a challenge not to be looked upon as just one of the kids. Many times kids would tell me stuff that they wouldn't tell older youth leaders.
"My most stressful job was at the Youth Study Center. The dungeon-like building was built in 1951 to be an intake facility. Youth were only supposed to stay there for 30 days until the court decided if they would go to jail or a group home. It was a jailhouse mentality there. It had all the ills of prison. Kids would often be intimidated out of food and have to make bargains for extra food. Many one-on-one physical fights happened there daily. Two times during my employment there were mass inmate riots requiring police intervention. The unit that housed the youths 16 to 21 had taken one of our staff members as hostage on two occasions during my tenure at the facility."
Eventually the extreme stress and exhausting work schedule of seven days on, two days off, four days on and then four days off took its toll on him. In the book, he writes, "For me, seeing so many youths that were just a generation younger than me being incarcerated and warehoused was disheartening on a daily basis…One night I was introduced to freebase cocaine by some friends…and became instantly addicted to the drug. In late 1988, I was on the run from the drug dealers, who took up residence in my home. I owed them money…so I disappeared into the homeless shelter system so I wouldn't have to give them my welfare check and food stamps."
By the spring of 1989, he was red carded from almost every shelter in the city due to his continued drug use. "Soon I found myself living in vacant crack house on welfare days," Simon wrote. "Then I would live and sleep in Vernon Park when I ran out of money." Until one August night in 1990, while sleeping in the rain under a filthy rug on a park bench in Vernon Park, he had "a moment of clarity" that hit him "like a thunderbolt."
"In my mind I saw my mother, who passed away in 1974, say clearly to me, 'Son, I did not raise you to live like this,' Simon wrote. The next morning he attempted to get a shelter bed but was denied due to his "track record." He was sitting in the waiting area when he saw a woman he used to work with at The Youth Service Agency.
"I got the bed with strings attached," Simon wrote. "I would first have to go to detox."
After nine months of being clean and sober, he got a job as a residential counselor at a men's homeless shelter. "Ironically, or because of the Creator's plan, the job was with one of the shelters I had lost a bed at due to noncompliance to the rules while in my active addiction," he wrote. "Poverty causes one to make decisions outside of the paradigm of right and wrong."
Simon retired in 2011 and is now the founder and president of Philadelphia Public and Human Services Guild Inc., whose mission is to advocate, consult and partner with grassroots helping organizations on best practices of frontline human services delivery.
Simon will have a book signing Thursday, Nov. 3, 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6 at Platinum Grille Restaurant in Market Square Plaza, 7719 Crittenden St. More information and RSVP at 215-668-7747.
