Class Masters
Class masters is an opportunity for students to work on public speaking skills. We will be using our Science Topics of Chemistry & Natural Disasters as the context for our speeches.
There are 3 styles of public speaking that students will all participate in:
- Debating (persuasive)
- Prepared informative speeches
- Impromptu speaking (made up on the spot)
This timetable shows what speeches you will be giving and when- please check carefully as you will need to prepare your speeches in your own time- debating teams will need to use lunch/recess & before & after school to make sure your team covers everything you are expected to.
Here are some videos to help with your speeches:

REAL to REEL FILM SERIES: The Tillman Story
Thursday, February 17, 7:00 p.m.
When Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002, he became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately far more heroic, than the caricature. And when the government tried to turn his death into propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in Northern California, Pat's mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family's crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son's life and death. Amir Bar-Lev's riveting and enraging documentary, THE TILLMAN STORY, resounds with emotion and insight, and goes beyond an indictment of the government to touch on themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself. The Saugatuck Center for the Arts is located Downtown Saugatuck
Hit the Antique Mall, head over to the Saugatuck Center for the Arts and see the new exhibit Printmaking, This unique collection of fine art prints showcases both a variety of notable artists and printing styles from the 16th century forward. "Fine Print" includes pieces by Albrecht Durer, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Nathaniel Steinberg, Margo Hoff, Bruce McCombs, and more.

Starting your first job can be overwhelming. There are so many decisions you need to make leading up to your first day. Then there are all the decisions you need to make during the first week, so much so that you need to know the right questions to ask to avoid making any glaring mistakes.
I remember the weeks leading up to my first day. I was moving from Pittsburgh to Baltimore to work for a huge defense contractor, and I was a mess. It was my first real job, with a real paycheck. I was putting a huge deposit down on my first apartment. I bought a new car. I was overwhelmed by the huge employee manual, and my human resources rep asked if I wanted to contribute to a 401K. A 401—what?
I had no idea what I was doing.
Fortunately, I had a friend who had done this all before and he gave me some great advice. When I look back, I'm thankful for his guidance because he helped me avoid many headaches and build up an above-average net worth. Here's what he told me.
1. Build Up Your Emergency Fund
An emergency fund is a crucial defense against financial disaster. Whether it's an accident or something needing repair, an emergency fund helps you manage the problem without you having to go into debt. (Here are a few ways to turbocharge your emergency savings.)
When you don't have a fund and your car breaks down, how will you fix it? You still need to get to work or you might get fired, which is worse than a broken-down car. If you don't have the cash, your only choice is to put the costly repair on your credit card with its double-digit interest rate. Now you have a problem made much bigger by debt. (Debt can have a significant impact on your credit as well. You can see how by viewing two of your credit scores for free on Credit.com.)
Make the choice to start an emergency fund. At a minimum, have three to six months' worth of expenses saved. Disaster will strike, so start saving today so you are ready.
2. Save for Retirement
When you start making real money, it's time to start thinking about retirement. Retirement is a long way off, but your decisions today can have a huge impact on when and if you'll be able to retire when you want.
If your employer offers a retirement plan, learn the details on how you can benefit. Many employers that offer a defined contribution plan, like a 401K, usually offer incentives for you to contribute. My first employer matched 50% of my contributions up to 4% of my salary. When I contributed 4% of my salary, they added an extra 2%.
With investments, time is your best friend and saving early is key.
If your employer doesn't offer a 401K plan, you can still invest in a taxable brokerage account or turn to an IRA. In those accounts, you can take advantage of index funds, which are some of the cheapest and best ways to invest money.
3. Keep Housing Costs Low
Remember this important money ratio: Keep your housing costs less than 30% of your income. It's easy to fall in love with an awesome apartment or house in a new area. And it's easy to commit to a high monthly payment because you tell yourself it's worth it. But don't fall into that trap!
By keeping your monthly fixed costs low, the largest of which will likely be your housing, you can save more money or use it to pay down debt like student loans.
4. Get Enough Insurance
Insurance is something you pay for and hope you'll never need to use. If you end up needing it, however, you'll be glad you have enough.
How much is enough insurance? That depends on your financial and family situation. If you've had time to build up a sizable emergency fund, you can increase your deductibles. If you don't have a big emergency fund, you can keep your deductibles lower for now. Once you build up those reserves, increase the deductible to something with which you're comfortable.
5. Build Your Social Network
This may not seem like a financial decision, but it is. Work toward building a network of friends and professional contacts in your field. The vast majority of jobs are not filled by being listed on a job site but through referrals. I got my second job, and a 15% raise, because of someone I knew.
Building up a network doesn't have to feel slimy. It's as simple as maintaining existing relationships and finding places to meet new people. It will also help make life a little more interesting.

What kind of financial blow has the widening scandal surrounding Carlos Ghosn delivered to Nissan Motor Co. and Renault SA? The industry will get a glimpse when the automakers' earnings are reported this week.
The alliance partners have spent the last two months coping with a major reputation hit from Ghosn's arrest, indictments by Tokyo prosecutors over allegations of financial improprieties and an unflattering spotlight on both companies' corporate governance controls.
Then there's the sluggish sales in China and the U.S., Britain's potentially jarring exit from the European Union and huge investments in electric and autonomous vehicles hovering over the entire auto industry.
Taken together, these negatives could leave the alliance partners falling behind competitors such as Volkswagen AG and Toyota Motor Corp. in the race to adapt to the changing terrain. The risks may be greater for Nissan since the lion's share of allegations against Ghosn reflect his tenure there, and its business challenges are tougher than Renault's.
Nissan is struggling in China and the U.S., and it owns the largest automotive plant in Britain. The company reports earnings Tuesday, providing the first indications of its performance since Ghosn's arrest in November. Renault's earnings are due two days later, just after an internal probe found Ghosn may have improperly used a company sponsorship deal to help pay for his Marie Antoinette-themed wedding in Versailles.
"Automakers are starting 2019 with a hangover," said Pierre Quemener, an analyst at MainFirst Bank AG in Paris. As for the Renault-Nissan alliance, "there's not much upside to be expected from it at this point."
Nissan's operating profit is forecast to fall 10 percent to 517.1 billion yen ($4.7 billion) in the fiscal year ending in March, the lowest in five years, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Renault will probably report an 8.8 percent decline in operating profit for last year to 3.47 billion euros ($3.93 billion).
For years, Nissan's earnings dwarfed Renault's, making a significant contribution to the French carmaker's bottom line. A bigger global footprint and sales 46 percent larger than Renault's may be motivating Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa's push to rebalance their alliance — which includes Mitsubishi Motors Corp. — to give his company more say in strategic decisions.
Renault's new chairman, Jean-Dominique Senard, pledged to work toward mending the partnership. He's also expected to unveil his plans for Renault's governance to the board next month, a person familiar with the matter said.
Here are more major issues facing the alliance.

The bi-annual Auto Haulers Association of America Conference was in Fernandino Beach, FL. this fall, and Super Dispatch was happy to be in attendance for the second time ever.
Earlier this spring, we made a blog post about the ultimate takeaways our company had from the AHAA conference. The key difference between the fall and the spring was the amount of in-depth feedback we were able to get from all of the carriers at the conference. In the spring, we walked away from AHAA with a lasting impression about how time consuming it is for carriers to run a car hauling enterprise. This fall, our biggest takeaway was the extensive feedback we got on how carriers business needs change as they scale up. We were happy to hear that carriers really appreciate how focused Super Dispatch is on implementing their feedback, and we were surprised that it was not more common place.

Ever wanted to be able to see records before committing them? I bet you have. It is not possible in Dynamics AX, but you can do it in SQL Server Management Studio. It is really easy as well.
Start Management Studio and connect to the SQL Server. Now navigate to Tools -> Options. From there, Query Execution -> SQL Server -> Advanced. There is a setting called SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL. Set it to READ UNCOMMITED. Click OK button and you are done.
Just remember that unless you always want to see uncommited data, it is good to reset this setting once done.

Towards the last two months of my last visit to India in the spring of 2012, I encountered the Tibetan community in exile in India experiencing painful news of their people self-immolating in fire one after another in China-occupied Tibet. My experiences in the past visits in India (drawing a cremation site in Varanasi, documenting fire pits, cremation alters, and contemplating on life and death around fire) synchronized with this particular movement, an extreme way of 'offering' their bodies to 'fire' for asking freedom and peace.I could not help drawing large and small drawings as emotional response and with a sense of mourning.
After coming back to Vancouver, the self-immolation kept happening and I felt that my personal and professional task is not finished.
I have come back to India to continue to document and draw under the same theme. email@example.com
3 December 2013
For Konchok Tseten
Who self-immolated in Meruma town, Ngaba, Amdo, Tibet on December 3rd.
Survived by his wife and two children
Kunchok Tseten shouted "Long live Gyalwa Tenzin Gyatso, lets unite our brothers here and those in exile", before collapsing a few metres away.
Tseten's wife Namnang, 28, and a few of his relatives were arrested. A few bystanders involved in manhandling with the police were also arrested.
I only pray here, feeling cold air in his homeland.

Welcome to the Misty M. Beller Launch Team application!
What exactly is this team?
So glad you asked! A launch team is a group of readers who are ready and willing (and eager!) to get the word out on the street about my books. When I think of my launch team, I think of my first readers, my inside circle, my front lines, my most enthusiastic fans.
What am I looking for in launch team members?
Readers who have read and are excited about my books, and want to share that excitement with their sphere of influence. Enthusiasm trumps all. Availability is important too!
What's involved in such an endeavor?
As a launch team member, you will receive free, advanced copies of all Misty M. Beller novels. Members are asked to read the book prior to release, then–if they like it (if you don't like it, you aren't required to do anything)–spread the word, as far and wide as possible!
The single most important thing launch team members do? Write a brief review for Amazon, Goodreads, and any other online review site where you'd like to post it. It only needs to be a paragraph or two!
Beyond that, anything else you do is icing on the cake! Here are some ideas, but none of these are mandatory. Whatever you feel comfortable with. The biggest help is the review!
Members will receive periodic emails from me to keep up-to-date on the latest happenings. They will also be part of a super-secret Misty M. Beller Launch Team group on Facebook, where we can share ideas and get to know one another.
What do you get out of the deal?
Besides receiving free copies of my books and my undying gratitude, there are some added perks. Such as receiving the occasional special gift from me! And being privy to insider information. Including, but not limited to, being the first to see cover art, hearing about new titles, reading snippets of my early drafts, helping me name characters, choosing settings, and more!
If this sounds like a team you'd like to be part of, please fill out the form below:

It has come to light that 4,000 lives and a trillion dollars were wasted by an idiot president who mounted a ridiculous crusade against the evil doers of Gog and Magog. There doesn't seem to be any reason to doubt the veracity of these reports.
While placing our nation under the guidance of a god who long ago stopped scooping her kids out of traffic, and one who has pretty much told the human race to go play nice while mama watches her stories, is a bad thing, it is a worse thing to be subjected to a president who feels compelled to send citizens to war to defend that god from imaginary cosmic enemies.
The monkey, George W. Bush, did exactly that.

It's official! The 100th Operation Playground project will take place on Saturday, June 14 at Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Park in Bay St. Louis, fulfilling a commitment we made to build 100 playgrounds in the areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The project will kick off with a Design Day on Apr. 28. Our partners for this special build are the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, Fannie Mae, the Foundation for the MidSouth, the Hancock Housing Resource Center and the City of Bay St. Louis.
The first Operation Playground project took place on Dec. 17, 2005 at Carol Vegas Park in Bay St. Louis, and it is so fitting that we will fulfill our commitment back where Operation Playground began nearly three years ago. More than 600 volunteers gathered on that day to help build the first new playground in the Gulf Coast after Katrina and Rita devastated the landscape. It was an amazing day that launched our commitment to build 100 playgrounds in areas affected by the hurricanes. Since then, KaBOOM! and our partners have built 90 playgrounds in towns from Houston to Mobile, bringing play back to the lives of children living in these areas and giving neighbors old and new the chance to rebuild a sense of community lost in the storms. While we will continue to build in the Gulf after the 100th playground, this important milestone will allow us to celebrate our success with friends, draw attention to the ongoing needs of those living in the Gulf and remind people about the importance of having safe and fun places children can play.

When are music students ready to study chord construction?
When students are familiar with note naming (click for a free note naming worksheet), intervals of a whole and half step and the construction of Major and minor scales then they are ready to apply themselves to the construction of chords (download our Free Music Lesson Plans to give you a working method for getting them to this stage as quickly and easily as possible)
The materials on this website provide a "step by step" working method designed to take music students from a place where they have no functional "joined up" knowledge of music theory to a situation where they fully understand scales, chords and harmonic systems.
The material can be presented to students as individual sheets during lessons or can be compiled into workbooks for revision or assessment purposes and in addition can be "customised" to take into account the strengths and weaknesses of individual students
This material can even be used to form the basis of music theory power point presentations.
A flexible,simple and effective music theory teaching resource that will last a lifetime for less than the price of a single textbook. No more clumsy (and probably illegal?) photocopying from books required.
These resources are especially designed to make life easier for classroom music theory or instrumental teacher's who need to explain music theory. They have been put together so that an individual music educator might work with all ability levels within a single session as many of the materials are presented using a range of levels of support.
Some of the sheets have blank keyboard diagrams on them and some ask only for the note name (rather than the notation).
In this way it is possible to ensure that a student develops an understanding of music theory using concepts they are already familiar with (the alphabet from A to G and the ability to count from one to twelve) before moving on to develop that understanding to take in written notation etc.
The chord worksheet that you can download below is one of a range of handouts that are designed to encourage students to understand the construction of major and minor triads.
It simply consists of a collection of root position chords with different starting notes to be studied and identified.
The beauty of using this system is that by asking your students to provide the "letter name" of notes before attempting to write the note on a staff of music you will be able to identify examples of "enharmonic thinking" (eg regarding a note of F# as a Gb) and take steps to explain what difference thinking the "right way" makes to developing a useful working knowledge of music theory
In order to give you some idea of the quality and value of our materials to music teachers just download it and use it with our blessing.

We're a hawk on the issues.
Small Business Owner Fights Back Against Starbuck's 'F Word' Threat
A small business owner replied to Starbuck's recent cease and desist letter with a hilarious note that apologizes profusely to the mega-coffee retailer for its use of the 'F Word.' Jeff Britton, owner of a small Missouri pub penned the note after Starbucks threatened suit for use of its patented phrase 'frappuccino.'
The legalese-rich threat mailed to the pub in early December ordered Britton's Exit 6 Pub and Brewery to "cease and desist all use (or agree from re-commencing use) of the term 'frappicino' or any other mark that is likely to cause confusion with Starbucks Coffee Co.'s 'frappuccino.'"
In reply, Britton wrote back to the lawyers representing Starbucks admitted that, indeed, he had sold product under the name. "It has recently come to Exit 6 Pub and Brewerys attention that there were three check-ins for the beer with a similar name to the F Word," Britton explained.
He further insisted that the fact the spelling was different from Starbuck's patented trademark was also his fault. "Unfortunately, it was only similar to the F Word because we meant to call it the same thing. Lucky for us, we are poor spelers."
He went on to assure the lawyers that he was properly ashamed of his 'crime.' "We are bad people. We feel shame," he wrote adding that he had seen the error of his ways. "Know this, Exit 6 has ceased and desisted in the use of the F Word and no further use of the F Word in the naming of the beers."
To reimburse Starbucks for the cost of any product that he claimed may have confused Starbucks customers who believed "they could get Starbucks at a local bar," he offered them a check for the sum total of his profits on the 'F Word beer'-$6.00.
He concluded that "We just want to help a business like Starbucks. Us small business owners need to stick together."

I recently went on a hunt for reformed music and found my way to Reformed Praise. Reformed Praise is a music ministry dedicated to providing songs for corporate worship which are rich in theology, diverse in musical style, and centered on the gospel of grace, that our praise might be informed by Biblical truth.
Reformed Praise was founded by David Ward, whom is the Director of Worship Ministries for Redeemer Bible Church in Minnetonka, MN. David has released a CD of reformed hymns called Cross Centered Worship. David's music has a modern sound while remaining faithful to scripture. I've loaded Cross Centered Worship up on my mp3 player right along side of my other favorite modernized worship music: Page CXVI and Rain City Hymnal. David was kind enough to give up his time for an interview to give us a closer look at his ministry.
1) I smell a little Jazz mixed in your music. Does the music world have a name for your musical style?
Musical styles are notoriously hard to define. The most influential genres on me have probably been classic jazz, classical music, and some classic rock when I was a teenager. Once I became a Christian at age 12, I became heavily influenced by the praise songs of the 70s and 80s, which itself flowed out of the folk song tradition of the 60s. Nowadays I listen to a variety of music intentionally to broaden my tastes, but still favor classic jazz or "worship" (songs for congregational singing) for pleasure and leisure. In addition to my weekly worship playing/leading, I play in a big band and occasional small jazz combos, so jazz is still a big part of my life.
When it comes to songwriting, one of the most helpful courses I've taken has been jazz theory. In college I was a music major and our school, Rutgers University, had a jazz studies major. Because of this program, I was able to take things like jazz theory and improvisation in addition to the standard harmony and counterpoint classes. Jazz theory explored the rhythms and harmonies that make up this complex genre and the ear training and chord training I learned in the class were invaluable. We had to dictate 6 note polyphonic chords and identify what they called bi-tonals – these have helped me in dictation and transcription to this day. During this time I learned all about substitutions and upper extensions of chords, the so-called "color" tones that feel tense.
What drew me to jazz (and still does) is the intense contrast of tension to resolution. There's something about a seventh chord with a flat 9th and 13th resolving to a major 7th chord that still gets me every time! These sounds and approaches to resolution work their way into my songs occasionally, but for the most part I'm writing folk, pop, or more classical music that is suitable for congregational singing. In the folk/pop genres, the chords and harmonies are very simple – that's a defining mark of the genres.
2) How is your Hymns on God's Attributes going? Have you recorded The Lord is Holy yet? Will each Hymn one be to the same tune?
Your question about this project is timely as Eric and I will be working on finishing draft versions of the hymns on Monday, October 5th. We have 8 attributes to go. Our desire for the project is to turn it into a small book that is devotional in nature. Each attribute will have a short introduction and we hope to include sheet music, a recording to sing with, and possibly application questions. The book would be great for private/family worship and the hymns could be useful for public worship as well.
We are currently trying to get a good, published author to join us and write the introductions, but so far have been unable to find one. If we cannot find another author Eric and I will write them ourselves. Once the work is finished we'll contact publishers with our proposal, and if it is turned down we'll simply self-publish it. Depending on how the publisher wants to protect the hymn texts, we may or may not be able to publish it freely on Reformed Praise; but I hope we can! We will probably not record someone singing each hymn since the tune and music are so widely known and yes, each hymn will be set to the same tune of A Mighty Fortress.
3) I see you play piano, saxophone, guitar, and you sing. Can you do all that while tapping your head and rubbing your belly too? Seriourly, that is a lot of talent. How do you wear so many hats at once?
There are several ways to look at this question. First, I know plenty of people who are far more talented than me – people who are professional multi-instrumentalists who write, arrange, produce, speak, and even homeschool. These are the people I tend to envy. One such person who I was able to meet when he put on a concert at our church is Michael Card. His musicianship just blew me away. On the other hand, there are plenty of people who have record albums and lead worship who have far less talent than me. These are the people I tend to look down on. Nothing good comes from looking at my talents through the lens of the talents of other people; only envy or pride.
The question that I hope will be more helpful to your readers for me to answer is "how does your abundance of talents affect your relationship with God?" You've already seen a hint at this answer by my admissions above. Because I have so many areas of giftedness and have a tendency to find my identity in how I use those gifts (especially when it comes to being creative and working on projects) I often pursue using my talents before pursuing knowing and loving God and before knowing and loving people. Rather than being an outflow of devotion to the Lord for His grace shown to me at the cross, I fall into believing that He'll be pleased with me only if I write another "hit" or prove that I'm a hard worker by showing off all of the ways I've been "busy." I know this about what motivates me before the Lord because that's how I often feel before other people. When I'm in a bad mood, or just generally low, chances are that the idol of my productivity or achievements is not being served enough or is being threatened.
One of my favorite stories in the life of Jesus is the encounter with Mary and Martha in Luke 10. I'm a lot like Martha and need to remember Jesus' instruction to turn from her distractions and remember the "one thing that is necessary," seeking Jesus first. When this begins to happen, I work on songs or projects with a completely different motive. I remember once writing a song and feeling dejected that I had no one to show it (off) to. I was feeling hesitant to show it to those close to me because I'd appear to be showing off (which is inverted pride – I needed to remain humble in appearance). The Lord reminded me of how my own young children show me their works of creativity and how we put it up on the refrigerator, even though they are artistically terrible. It's not their quality that drives me to put them up – it's the fact that they made it for me and showed me because they love me. It dawned on me that God, my daddy, wants me to "show" him my songs – He wants me to write for Him first. It's easy to say that but far harder to actually do it. And even though my songs and the motives behind them are tainted with sin and in the light of God's creativity frankly suck, He rejoices in them because He accepts me on the basis of Jesus' righteousness, not the quality of my works. So this long-winded answer is intended to simply say that I do indeed struggle with having many talents and ideas.
A more circumstantial answer to your question is that I'm not the best singer (my CD featured the amazing invention of vocal tuning) but am adequate for leading people in worship songs (I sing well enough to not distract). When I first started playing in public worship I didn't sing since I didn't have the skills to play and sing at the same time. I was almost singularly devoted to the saxophone for many years and only worked at the guitar and piano much later. Even now, I have to memorize most of the music so that I'm not distracted by reading notes, chords, AND lyrics at the same time. Memorizing has the added benefit of allowing me to look at the lyrics in paragraph form, which greatly helps me to think more deeply about them and be affected by them.
4) I understand you are quite fond of "Our Own Hymn-Book" published by Charles Spurgeon. What Hymnal would I find in the pews of your church? Are you happy with the pew hymnal at your church?
Our Own Hymn-Book is probably my favorite hymnal and the one I use most for songwriting fodder. You didn't ask, but one of the main reasons I love it so much is because of the volume of hymns about the gospel and about intimacy with Jesus. It has sections like gospel invitations, gospel expostulations, gospel stated, gospel received, contrite cries, and even includes an entire section called "the Golden Book of Communion with Jesus." When you look at modern hymnals you typically don't find so many cross-centered songs.
We use the Trinity Hymnal, from the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, although we rarely "use" them physically. Sometimes we'll do a favorite hymn evening where we take requests, and sometimes we'll do an a capella service (but the words are still on a screen). Each time we sing a song in the hymnal, the hymnal number is on the screen so that people can follow the music (if they know how). Nowadays I find that the vast majority of people can't read music and many that say they do only follow the "up and downs" of the notes to help guide them and can't read harmony. But, as hymnals go, I'm very pleased with this one. The arrangements are musically excellent and the text choices are doctrinally sound and much more full of content than many other hymnals today. In fact, many of the best hymns of Our Own Hymn-Book are in there but usually to a tune that we don't know or, in my opinion, does not match the text.
5) What does your worship team look like? How many lead worship and what instruments do you use?
We have about 15 people who rotate according to their availability, so on a given Sunday we'll have between 4 and 8 people. We have drums, a keyboardist, usually one vocalist (in addition to the leader singing the melody), a violinist, a mandolin player (who also plays banjo and Irish whistles), piano, and acoustic guitar. We haven't had a regular bass player or electric guitarist in quite some time. We also have one other worship leader in addition to myself who leads occasionally and fills in for me when I'm away. You didn't ask, but with this lineup of instruments we play everything from hymns in an orchestral style, hymn tunes with creative back-beat arrangements including jazz styles, modern worship songs, praise songs, black gospel styles (admittedly poorly especially since we don't have a bass player!), and a fair amount of country/bluegrass strummin'. I lead from the piano (my favorite instrument to lead from) about two thirds of the time, and from the guitar the other third.

"Think Bike" campaign under way in Kent and Medway
An eight-week campaign has been launched by police and councils in Kent to cut down on the number of accidents involving cyclists and motorbike riders.
Between 2010 and 2012, there were 2,000 casualties on the county's roads.
Of those, 27 were fatal accidents.
Road users are being urged to "Think Bike" or "Biker Think", with highly visible boards being put up to remind people to be aware of each other.
Motorcyclists make up less than 1% of road users but they account for almost a quarter of all road deaths every year in Kent and Medway.

The 51-year-old owner left the blue Yahama Trials bike locked and chained in a padlocked shed in his garden.
The bike was at an address in Shaftesbury Street on Friday 6th September but when he returned the next day, the bike was gone.
Police are appealing for sighting of the bike and as the bike is difficult to start, it is likely the thieves will seek assistance from service centres.

What can I say?… sometimes I love this city, sometimes I hate it. It's the best of times, it's the worst of times. When the rhythm of the city coincides with my own personal highs and lows, it can feel like pure elation or absolute purgatory. This past week we landed on the former and there are two collections of musicians to thank: This Ambitious Orchestra and Gato Loco.
Benjamin Ickies undeniably brings the party with his Ambitious Orchestra (a 22-piece electric orchestra plus rock band). Most recently, the party was for Freddie Mercury's 65th Birthday. Next Magazine wrote a review on both Ickies and the Queen tribute which was organized by Oh!You Pretty Things and featured dozens of artists celebrating lifestyle and music in epic fashion, which ended in the fabulously smashing, glammed-up charade that it should have. Boys who like girls, girls who like boys, girls who like girls, boys who like boys, robots who like toys…this night had it all and NickyDigital.com (along with Coach Mike Pics) caught it all on camera (you probably want to take a peek at those pics). Leather chaps, mustaches, spandex, electrical tape (yeah- we've all seen that trick), satin, vacuum cleaners… whaa? yeah. Anyways…the "people watching" alone would have proven a satisfactory night but to also perform/sing with this group was a trip. Myself and Lisa D (flutist) belted Queen's "Bicycle Race" as a duet. (Sidenote: I taught that song to my brother when he was 5 and I'm an avid Queen fan, so I was honored to pay homage to Freddie and happy to chant the anthem at le Poisson Rouge).
WATCH OUR VIDEO of Bicycle Race:
Later in the week I played in Washington Square Park with musical phenomenon Gato Loco. If you haven't heard of these guys – check 'em out. Not too many people perform like this… Stefan Zeniuk (brainchild/mad genius) knows how to enthuse an entertaining group onstage and the band brings a "YOU LOOKING AT ME?!!!!" attitude without a vocalist. They can be found around NYC but these guys are in Europe every other day (not literally, but alot. See their upcoming shows). Their music has an untraceable quality to it- whether it's the soundscape in Lower Manhattan or Istanbul, all you need to know is…DANCE! I was pleased as rum punch to be surrounded by Stefan, Clifton Hyde, TubaJoe Exley, Jesse Selengut, Ric Becker, Kevin Garcia, Ari Folman-Cohen aaaaand… Kiku Collins!! (Kiku was also subbing on the gig, fiercely fabulous- as always). Clifton Hyde (who I just discovered is on wikipedia) is the french hornist for Gato Loco and also an insane guitarist (see him perform in NYC's Blue Man Group on the zither…yes, the zither). Playing horn next to him was completely entertaining and it's easy to see how Gato Loco received such a solid review in All About Jazz Magazine. Fantastic energy level, outrageous collective talent and an attitude that cannot and will not be checked at the door, this band delivers. The crowd (veteran Loco fans and also some innocent bystanders) was sonically assaulted in Washington Square Park and absolutely loved the music. This fun was also more than worthwhile- the concert was a musical offering to commemorate the events of 9/11.
The night ended at DROM NYC (where I have forgotten my own horn on occasion…the sound guy there is reigning champion as overnight instrument keeper). Ric Becker (trombone) played another set with NY Ska-Jazz Ensemble (NYSJE) for their CD Release Party. Ummm…."Boy can play bone." I'll go ahead and say it- I met a sick rock trombonist last week. 'nuff said.
Another week survived in NYC. It was a good week.
Oh yeah- here's a random pic of a car in my neighborhood.

ReThink's Talent Assessment Protocol — HEADSx — provides companies with the first ever scientific approach to evaluating the crucial yet often puzzling aspects of elite investing and trading performance. HEADSx quantifies the thinking styles identified by more than 30 years of research showing that qualitative skills—perhaps more than analytical or quantitative skills—underlie consistently exceptional trading and investing performance.
For the hiring managers on trading desks or for investors and allocators making manager selection decisions, identifying the candidates who will manifest this X factor is a challenging task. Simultaneously, traders and portfolio managers who lose money—or even those who under-perform their benchmarks—need to be avoided.
ReThink's HEADSx offers a revolutionary set of metrics on a candidate's potential – or lack thereof – to produce Behavioral Alpha through their qualitative approaches to reading markets and differentiating risks.

The Dessert- My Great Briton
YES! I FINALLY GOT A 10!!!! Obviously I am delighted to have eventually achieved that 10 I've been waiting for.

In September 1976, James O. (Jay) Fergeson Jr., realized his desire to return to Sarasota and establish a "boutique" law firm specializing exclusively in the areas of federal and state taxation, wills, trusts and estates.
Mr. Fergeson opened his practice in what was then known as the United First Federal Savings and Loan Association Building located on Main Street at Pineapple Avenue. J. Ronald Skipper, a specialist in wills, trusts and estates, joined Jay in 1978.
Growing to meet the needs of our clients, the firm expanded with the addition of Andrew Shaw in 1979. As a civil trial attorney, Mr. Shaw's presence marked the beginning of our transformation from a specialty firm to the full-service firm that exists today.
On January 1, 1984, trial attorney David J. Baron and real estate attorneys Stephen B. Keyser and E. Ralph Tirabassi merged their law practice into the firm and Fergeson Skipper, P.A., was established.
The continued growth and expansion of the firm and the increase in space demands resulted in a move to larger accommodations in April 1993. The firm presently occupies the 10th floor of the Northern Trust Plaza in the center of downtown Sarasota. The firm offers a full range of legal services to complement Sarasota's growing economy and the expectations of our clients. All services are provided by knowledgeable and experienced attorneys with the assistance of a proficient and dedicated support staff.
The complexity of both the law and our judicial system has engendered specialization within our profession. In 1982, The Florida Bar initiated a certification program to identify for the general public and the profession those attorneys who have demonstrated special knowledge, skills and proficiency in certain areas of the law. Most of our attorneys have attained certification from The Florida Bar in one or more of the areas of specialization including taxation, wills, trusts, estates, civil trial litigation, and real estate law. Two of our attorneys have been elected to the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, or ACTEC, in recognition of their skill as trusts and estates lawyers and their contributions to the practice of trusts and estates law.

THE STORY OF WILLIAM TELLPosted on September 27th, 2014 No comments
The people of Switzerland were not always free and happy as they are to-day. Many years ago a proud tyrant, whose name was Gessler, ruled over them, and made their lot a bitter one indeed.
One day this tyrant set up a tall pole in the public square, and put his own cap on the top of it, and then he gave orders that every man who came into the town should bow down before it. But there was one man, named William Tell, who would not do this. He stood up straight with folded arms, and laughed at the swinging cap. He would not bow down to Gessler himself.
When Gessler heard of this, he was very angry. He was afraid that other men would disobey, and that soon the whole country would rebel against him. So he made up his mind to punish the bold man.
William Tell's home was among the mountains, and he was a famous hunter. No one in all the land could shoot with bow and arrow so well as he. Gessler knew this, and so he thought of a cruel plan to make the hunter's own skill bring him to grief. He ordered that Tell's little boy should be made to stand up in the public square with an apple on his head, and then he bade Tell shoot the apple with one of his arrows.
Tell begged the tyrant not to have him make this test of his skill. What if the boy should move? What if the bowman's hand should tremble? What if the arrow should not carry true?
"Will you make me kill my boy?" he said.
"Say no more," said Gessler. "You must hit the apple with your one arrow. If you fail, my soldiers shall kill the boy before your eyes."
Then, without another word, Tell fitted the arrow to his bow. He took aim, and let it fly. The boy stood firm and still. He was not afraid, for he had all faith in his father's skill.
The arrow whistled through the air. It struck the apple fairly in the center, and carried it away. The people who saw it shouted with joy.
As Tell was turning away from the place, an arrow which he had hidden under his coat dropped to the ground.
"Fellow!" cried Gessler, "what mean you with this second arrow?"
"Tyrant!" was Tell's proud answer, "this arrow was for your heart if I had hurt my child."
And there is an old story, that, not long after this, Tell did shoot the tyrant with one of his arrows, and thus he set his country free.
DON QUIXOTE de la MANCHAPosted on September 24th, 2014 No comments
Don Quixote liked to read. He liked to read a lot. He liked to read so much that he pretty much stopped doing everything else. This is not a good idea unless you are very rich, and he was not. He lived on a farm that had once been fairly prosperous and large, but in addition to ignoring his daily chores, he had begun to sell off pieces of his property in order to buy more books. But the real problem seemed to be his choice of books. He read every book about knights and knight-errantry he could get his paws on.
The Fortunate FishPosted on September 20th, 2014 No comments
Once upon a time, King Brahmadatta had a very wise adviser who understood the speech of animals. He understood what they said, and he could speak to them in their languages.
One day the adviser was wandering along the riverbank with his followers. They came upon some fishermen who had cast a big net into the river. While peering into the water, they noticed a big handsome fish who was following his pretty wife.

The Golden Plate (Greed and Honesty)Posted on September 19th, 2014 No comments
Once upon a time in a place called Seri, there were two salesmen of pots and pans and hand-made trinkets. They agreed to divide the town between them. They also said that after one had gone through his area, it was all right for the other to try and sell where the first had already been. One day, while one of them was coming down a street, a poor little girl saw him and asked her grandmother to buy her a bracelet. Read the rest of this entry »
The Tree That Acted Like a HunterPosted on August 7th, 2012 No comments
Once upon a time, there was an antelope who lived in the deep forest. He ate the fruits that fell from the trees. There was one tree that had become his favorite.
In the same area there was a hunter who captured and killed antelopes and deer. He put down fruit as bait under a tree. Then he waited, hiding in the branches above. He held a rope noose hanging down to the ground around the fruits. When an animal ate the fruit, the hunter tightened the noose and caught him.
