"Tell me, and I'll forget. Show me, and I might remember. Involve me, and I will learn ."
Monkey See Monkey Do is a Learning Centre. My staff and I will provide you services that go above and beyond your expectations. They spend their days stimulating all the children physically, emotionally, and educationally. Each of our teachers brings with them an array of experience and skills. Some are extremely artistic, some are creative and some are linguistic or musically inclined. Our teachers are also a great resource to you. If you ever have any questions regarding child related issues, feel free to ask our teachers for opinions/advice.
Welcome to Monkey See Monkey Do Childcare and Development Centres.
Our childcare facility offers a safe, happy and healthy environment for children to flourish in all aspects of life. Our philosophy fosters an educational experience enhanced by visual arts, sensory, music, science, phonics, yoga, fitness and hands on cooking. Children will achieve optimum learning through play, social interaction with staff and peers, emotional support and intellectual development.
Our current philosophy coupled with the Ministry of Educations pedagogy "How Does Learning Happen", has filled the gaps to further help families, staff and children better understand education. Together we make learning a priority to help enhance caregiver/child interactions. This partnership further assists the skill set needed to reach all milestones within the centre, through cognitive, gross motor, fine motor and sensorial activities. These experiences lead to positive outcomes in the classroom allowing the children, staff and parents to think outside the box. The four foundation's of Belonging, well being, engagement and expression help our centre focus on what really matters regardless of the child's age, ability, culture or language.
Our Preschool Room follows a 1:8 ratio. The age group in this classroom is 2.5 years to 4 years of age. To accommodate the array of learning needs in this classroom, the children are placed into groups according to their cognitive abilities. This allows each child to be continuously challenged.
Our Toddler Room follows a 1:5 ratio with an age group ranging from 15 months to 2.5 years of age. This program plan introduces the basic fundamentals to phonics, colors, numbers and self help skills. The teachers are educated in child development, which gives them the skills to develop goals for the young children, i.e. social, emotional, cognitive, fine motor, etc. at an age appropriate level.
Our Infant program provides learning activities that are developmentally appropriate by stimulating the Infants through an enriched learning environment. This program is for ages 6 weeks-18 months and follows a 1:3 ratio. The children are able to learn freely at their own pace through play and activities. Discovery is based on children's own experience and understandings. Infants are given opportunities to explore and discover with hands-on experiences through creative, fine motor and gross motor activities.
Everyday, in each classroom, the children are offered a creative activity to partake in. This artwork is displayed for some time and will than be taken home to cherish. Sometimes the creative experience may be individual or as a group.
The teachers also conduct daily gathering times where all the children partake in songs, stories, cognitive games, science experiments, discussions about current events, language activities, show and tell, etc.
In addition to providing more information about each of our classrooms, I want to convey the message that learning occurs at all times. Whether the children are dressing up in the dramatic area, they are learning to be 'big people'. Cooking, cleaning, taking care of children, they are learning to be just like you – everything that they see you do, they want to do! The children learn patience, empathy, understanding, acceptance, and friendship, through socializing with their peers. They learn about shapes, spatial differences, matching, sequencing, etc. through fine motor games, puzzles, and shape sorters. The children express themselves creatively throughout many activities and are always thrilled to show or demonstrate their achievements. Our teachers attempt to foster the individuality of each child!, It is important to understand that no matter what age a child is, they all learn through play. When the children are together they strengthen each other's social skills as they become inquisitive about their world around them. Our teachers are here to nurture this inquisitiveness and appreciate the desires and preferences of each individual child.

Well, it's time to make some notes to myself again.
There are many wonderful tales to tell about upgrading babbage from Leopard server to Lion server this summer, but today's topic is just about getting sqlplus working. The sqlplus command works best, as does psql, php, and others, when run under rlwrap. It turned out that getting rlwrap to build under Lion was problematic enough to warrant a reminder here.

A simple day, today. After the social butterflying and story completion of yesterday, it was time for a return to the word mines, and an attempt to get some serious traction on Ghost Tracks.
Having spent the last 4 days staring out at the same view, I decided to pack up my computer and head into the nearby town of Midland to write, just for the change of scenery. It worked: I managed 2500 words, and shaped up the next part of the narrative, so that the next day or two of writing should come as easily as today's.
That represents an important turning point for me: I'm not a plotter, which means that I rarely have more than a general sense of where I'm going in the short term. I usually know where I want to end up-- I have the ending of this novel all sewn up, for example-- but the details of the journey are often only discovered very shortly before the characters find out. In loose terms, my writing comes to me in three stages:
- The big picture: I've got a story to tell. I know how it begins ( A boy derails a ghost train, and has to travel to the ghost world to make amends). I know how it ends (Oh, it's so good. It's so great. You didn't think I'd actually tell you here, did you? ;) ). I know the overarching reason behind the narrative (There's this [REDACTED] named [REDACTED] , and s/he wants to [REDACTED] by[REDACTED] a [REDACTED]). And that's pretty much it.
- The lilypads: like a frog trying to cross the Great Lakes, I know where I'm sitting. I can see maybe one, maybe two actions ahead. I know the lake is freaking enormous. I'm trusting that there are enough lilypads to get me across. before this morning, I'd written roughly a third of the novel. Paul, my protagonist, and Aoife, his sidekick, had escaped the first major set piece of the story, and had reached a surprise location. I know I want them to reach a completely different location by the time the novel turns towards the climax. How they get there, not so much.
- The details: all the fun bits to write, like dialogue, and new characters, and the bricks that make the wall that make the tower. Two days ago, did I know there would be a monster? And a family of abandoned children who lived in a cubby house they'd built from their memories? And that the monster would prove to be not a monster at all, but possibly the biggest victim in the whole book? Nope, nope, and uh-uh. But this is the fun thing, for me: the discoveries I make along the way. the surprises and magical moments where my subconscious tape me on the shoulder, and says "Hey, Rocky..."
And as we all know, the fun lies in the fact that it's never a rabbit.
Today was a good day, with excitement, and danger, and really cool things. Tomorrow? Who knows? But half the fun is getting there.

Andaman Seaview is aptly named. A friendly and unpretentious seafront hotel, guests will enjoy the pleasing blue-and-white colour scheme throughout the property, the large central freeform swimming pool hemmed in by mature frangipanis and the handy location in southern Karon, only minutes walk from Kata Beach.
Classic Sino-Portuguese in theme, practical by nature, the hotel's modest size works to its advantage, lending it a distinct intimacy.
- Phuket FantaSea Cultural Theme Park
- Phi Phi Islands Tour with Express Boat
- James Bond Island Full-Day Tour via Big Boat
- Coral & Racha Islands Full-Day Tour
- Whitewater Rafting & 4-Wheel-Drive Adventure
- Sea Kayaking at Ang Thong Marine Park
- Flying Hanuman Ziplining Experience
- Canoeing Excursion in Phang Nga Bay with Thai Buffet Lunch
- Introduction to City Tour
- John Gray's Cave Canoeing Tour in Phang Nga Bay
Where Is It?
The hotel is situated some metres back from the Karon Beach Road at the south end of the beach, close to a headland that separates Kata and Karon beaches. This means Kata is a mere stroll away and the soft white sand of Karon just over the relatively quiet road.
Karon Beach is approximately three kilometres long and its town centre is found at the northern end. However, nightlife, dining and shopping is just around the corner on Karon's Soi Bangla and Kata is also a lively alternative. Karon is a 50-minute drive from Phuket International Airport and 15 minutes from Patong Beach. (View location map...)
How Many Rooms/Suites?
Andaman Seaview has 141 Superior 40sqm rooms and 20 Deluxe 75sqm rooms. All rooms have full or partial sea views and are equipped with refrigerator, cable and satellite TV with 50 channels, hair dryer, safety box, key card control, telephone, complimentary coffee and tea-making facilities, mini-bar, plug-in internet and complimentary seasonal fruits.
Room Facilities
My Superior Room has a soothing white colour scheme (guests can choose between green, white orange and blue-themed rooms) with blue trimmings, lending it a classic feel. A chill-out area next to the sliding doors that lead out to a balcony features Thai-style bedding/cushions.
Bed combinations vary according to guests' needs and my room has a king size and a single bed. The bathroom offers plenty of toweling options, a bath and a walk-in shower, adequate complimentary toiletries, robes, slippers and a well-stocked mini-bar.
The beach bag, ready packed with two brightly coloured beach towels, is a nice touch and the gorgeous Karon Beach sunset views a definite plus.
Restaurants & Bars
The signature restaurant at Andaman Seaview is Maneekram – a Sino-Portuguese designed dining space. Open-sided and poolside, the 60-cover eatery doubles as a breakfast space and serves Thai and international food and offers all-day dining.
The outdoor Sunset Terrace is the place to be during Phuket's high season from November to April as it features evening barbecues, entertainment and al fresco candlelit dining beneath the stars – as all of this is poolside and in the midst of fragrant frangipanis there's magic in the air.
For swimming-and-eating aficionados the Pool Bar serves light snacks and cool drinks.
Leisure Facilities
With two outdoor swimming pools, one a large freeform pool set in idyllic surroundings, and a shady children's pool, guests hardly need to leave the premises for aquatic fun but it's reassuring to know that the Andaman Sea and Karon Beach are mere steps away. There are plenty of sun loungers so early-morning towel depositing is largely unnecessary.
For those looking for true relaxation the Samunprai Spa has a wide menu of massages, treatments, programs, scrubs, baths, steam treatments, facials and a beauty salon service. Kids will have fun at the poolside playground while parents looking for some nightlife need anticipate no problem due to the hotel's babysitting facilities.
An air-conditioned reading room with a great selection of paperbacks and magazines in various languages doubles as a modest fitness room while guests without laptops can avail themselves of the internet room behind the classically appointed reception area.
Andaman Seaview is a victory of substance over style, of functionality over image.
The 161-room hotel retains a tangible homey feel that sets it apart from the other mega-projects along Karon seafront and its old-world charm sits well with its classic feel. All in all, a good family destination.

Hasan Minhaj keynote speech at the 2017 White House Correspondents Association dinner
Hasan Minhaj faced an uphill task taking on the keynote speech at the 2017 White House Correspondents Association dinner, the first in 36 years to not feature the sitting president (and that, in 1981, was because President Reagan had been shot in an assassination attempt). No Trump. No Trump lackeys in his stead. And Samantha Bee, host of Full Frontal on TBS, was throwing a star-studded Not The White House Correspondents Dinner a few blocks away. Minhaj, a correspondent for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central, joked about how many other top comedians passed on the...Read More

I want to talk to you about something important. You see, I think you have a unique opportunity to make some money by following my advice with a specific investment in the stock market. Now, if I under any circumstances ever say anything like that to you, RUN! Why? Because you should not trust me in things in which I don't know what I am talking about. And trust me on this: I don't know anything about the stock market! Trust is warranted if the person you are trusting knows what they are doing and are experts in that field.
But what about trusting in God? Some say we can trust God when it comes to spiritual or religious matters, but in other areas of life God isn't involved enough in our lives to follow His advice. Some trust God to lead the church and their spiritual life, but not other areas of their lives. This morning, as we continue our study of the section in the Heidelberg Catechism on the apostle's Creed, we look at God the Father, the first person of the Trinity. Can we trust him? The answer is resoundingly "YES!" Why? Because He is God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Let's read Ephesians 3:1-19. We will focus on verses 14-16.
I. The first thing we want to notice is God is the essence of fatherhood.
What does fatherhood mean? Often when we think of fathers we think of our own fathers or fathers whom we know. We know that fathers are supposed to be kind, compassionate and loving. We think of earthly fathers because that is what we hopefully see and experience. And then when we read in the Bible of God as Father, we logically assume that God as Father is like a greatly enlarged and perfected humanly father. Earthly fathers care for their children, so God perfectly takes care of His children. Earthly fathers love their children, so God perfectly loves His children. But we didn't come up with the idea of fatherhood and use it to describe God.
Rather God is Father "from whom his whole family in heaven and earth derives its name." A family is a group of people who share a father or a common ancestor. God is the Father of all of mankind, the whole family He has created. The word family comes from the same root as fatherhood. Paul is saying that God as Father is the One who defines what fatherhood really is. Any type of fatherhood you can imagine comes from God our Father in heaven. That is the meaning of "derives its name." God the Father is the first or model Father. It is this aspect of fatherhood that we want to focus on this morning. In Ephesians 3:14-16, we have some very clear insights into what it means for God to be our Father.
II. What is seen first is that God is Almighty Father.
Paul says in verse 14: "For this reason I kneel before the Father." Paul has been talking about the greatness of the grace of Christ which brings life to those who were dead in sin. God sent His Son, Jesus, to suffer and die to bring us forgiveness. He has brought us into a new relationship with Him and with others who believe. This "reason" points to the greatness of what God has been doing in the lives of Christians and in the church.
Moreover, verse 16 says that the Father is one who has glorious riches. This means that God has inexhaustible glory, that which makes God, God. God has an infinite supply of wisdom, power and love. There is no one who is as great as God is or who has more glory than God has. In fact, God is the source of all power and of all things.
That is what Question and Answer 26 is saying. The question asks: "What do you believe when you say, "I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth"? The answer states: "That the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who out of nothing created heaven and earth and everything in them, who still upholds and rules them by his eternal counsel and providence is my God and Father because of Christ his Son." God created this world out of nothing. And He continues to uphold and rule over it with His unending power. God is the God of all glorious riches, the Almighty, all-powerful who can do all things!
III. But notice that while God is Almighty God, God is also our loving Father.
And because God is our Father, we are able to pray to him, go to Him as our Father. We can bring our needs to Almighty God in heaven and call Him Father. Because of what God has done for us in Jesus we can pray to God in Jesus' name. God is our loving, perfect Father whom we can call "Abba," or "Dad." Second, we can be assured that God will answer us from out of his great store-house of glorious riches. Almighty God who has all the glorious riches is also willing to share those riches with His children. God will not lose anything by giving the things Paul is asking for.
For what reason? So that we may be strengthened in power in our inner being. Our inner being is not just our soul or personality. The inner being is the new life which the Spirit has created in us. Elsewhere, Paul teaches that the inner being is that part of us that is being recreated to become more and more like Jesus Himself. So what Paul is asking is that God shares His wisdom and power so that we may become more and more like Jesus whose Spirit is already living inside of us. That is God the Father's goal for our lives. He is willing and eager to give us all that we need so that we will become more and more like Christ Jesus, His Son. God is a great and almighty God who can do all things, but He is also a loving Father who enables us to be what is truly best for us.
IV. For that reason we can trust our heavenly Father.
The last part of Answer 26 says what we can specifically trust God for. "I trust him so much that I do not doubt he will provide whatever I need for body and soul, and he will turn to my good whatever adversity he sends me in this sad world." We can trust that God will provide for us. That includes material and physical needs like jobs, food, shelter, and clothing. God will take care of us on this earth and provide whatever we need for body and soul; we can fully believe that and trust God for that! That calls for a complete willingness to give ourselves over to Him. Go watch a family playing together in a swimming pool sometime. The father is in the water and the children are standing on the edge of the pool, dripping wet and giggling. One at a time, again and again, they leap out over the water, trusting completely that their father will catch them. He doesn't disappoint. There may be a few near misses, but the father is focused on his task and is determined to be reliable. And he is. God will always be there to catch us when we trust in him in all things.
Moreover, we can also trust that God will turn to good whatever adversity he sends us in this sad world. Now think about that a moment. Does God really send adversity to us? Does God send sickness, unemployment and problems to us? God does send us trouble and adversity just as God allows Satan and our own sin to cause us problems and grief. But this opening statement of the Apostles' Creed says that we believe in God Almighty who creates and controls all things. That means that God controls and guides all things; yes, even the bad things. But we must remember that God is also our Father who loves us deeply and will not do anything that will be truly harmful to us. Whatever God allows or does is for our own good and for our own benefit. God's goal is to strengthen our inner being so that we become more and more like Christ Himself and that may well involve hardship and adversity. But we can trust God our Father that he will watch over us in times of hardship as well and will turn this to good.
Why? The last statement of the Question 26 summarizes this nicely. "He is able to do this because he is almighty God; he desires to do this because he is a faithful Father." What a powerful statement of faith for a believer to make! God is the great God who can do all things. There is nothing He cannot do. God is also our loving Father who will always do what is best for His children. He desires to do all that is needed for the good of His children. There is nothing that he will withhold from us if it is really for our good. God is truly the perfect Father who perfectly cares for all His children.
Now perhaps you have trouble accepting that. You look at your circumstances in your lives and you wonder if God isn't playing some cruel games with you. Please know that God is your loving Father who not only can do all things, but will do whatever is best for you. God does love you and wants what is best for you, even if we can't understand it. And the important thing to remember this morning is that God can and will do whatever it takes to do what is truly best for us. Are you living your life trusting in God our Almighty Father completely?

It's beautiful. :)ReplyDelete
So, so sweet.ReplyDelete
I Love it! So sweet!ReplyDelete
Just beautiful Molly.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful project & special way to celebrate Lucy & Vic's birthday. You are so creative, Molly!ReplyDelete
I loved seeing it in person. It's beautiful. I remember coming to see you and Vic at Primary's on his birthday and what a hard time that was. I am sure Lucy is with him and you always. Thanks again for inviting us this past weekend. Love you.ReplyDelete
It's absolutely beautiful. The meaning behind it makes it so special. It's a perfect tribute. I'm so glad you found inspiration in the croc wreath. Thank you for letting me know and for your sweet email.ReplyDelete
So beautiful Molly! I love it!ReplyDelete
I love it! What a great birthday thought for Vic. David's birthday is on July 7th and Gabe died on the 12th. How does Vic handle that. David said his birthday will always be horrible now. I hope I can honor both of them as you do. I'm open for tips if you have them. Our one year mark is coming up and the more I anticipate it the harded life seems to get.
Love Amy
Molly, I think that is so beautiful :) I don't think I could ever tell you enough how much I admire you & your strength.ReplyDelete
It's perfect.ReplyDelete
Very very sweet.
I about melted when I saw her little shoes.
love! What a great idea!! I especially love the picture charm :) I know this time of year is so hard...I'm glad you get to go do something fun! have great vacation!!! xoReplyDelete
I thought of you and yours at least a hundred times yesterday. Mass was beautiful. The Gospel and subsequent homily were about how we are each endowed with certain, special gifts that build the Kingdom o Heaven living stone by living stone (I am Catholic and this is a core belief in our faith). I saw precious Lucy so clearly sitting in that church, the church I have grown up in since my own baptism 44 years ago. I saw your lovely girl and all that she graces Heaven with. I know that the unfairness of it all is deep and aching and threatens to pull focus from the joy that is Lucy's precious, precious life. I fought of your girl, beautiful blue eyes, spun gold curls, spitfire that she is. I thought of her and smiled. And I hope for even a tiny millisecond that takes the sting away from losing her.ReplyDelete
Best part about this Gospel reading...it is from the letter of Pau to St. Peter. Your children are named well dear one.
God Bless you!
Oh my gosh I love it Molly! You are awesome. A Lucy wreath. Such a great idea.ReplyDelete
It's just perfect...as is the one that inspired it!!!ReplyDelete
Very special!ReplyDelete
I think YOUR Miss LUCY wreath is PERFECT!ReplyDelete
it's perfect.ReplyDelete
I have read your blog off and on for the last few years...I guess I didn't realize that your little one passed the same week as your husbands birthday. Oddly...our son passed the same week as my husbands birthday as well, and he says the same thing...it's hard to have a "happy" birthday after something so tragic. The wreath is lovely. What a neat way to remember her.ReplyDelete

As Josh pointed out yesterday, Big Bang Theory, the most popular show in America, doesn't technically have a cast at the moment, as the actors and studio are currently involved in rather intense negotiations over whether the former deserve a Friends-esque bump in pay. This made the show's writers' panel at Comic-Con today somewhat awkward, especially when one reporter tried to ask about it and apparently got shut down by an excitable monitor. From Deadline:
However, the Comic-Con hall monitors, who typically let most questions through to the panel, were definitely on guard. When a Deadline reporter tried to ask Bill Prady and [executive producer Steve] Molaro a question about the cast negotiation, the monitor exclaimed, "We can't let you ask about that — it's a legal question."
The first thing I'd like to point out here is how ridiculous it is that a reporter was apparently forbidden to ask a relevant question during an open Q&A session. Steve Molaro is the executive producer of the show. He's more than capable of issuing a tap-dancing "no comment" about an ongoing legal situation. Not to go all Woodward and Bernstein on you guys over a panel at a fan service festival that people use as an excuse to go to San Diego for a week, but come on.
The second thing I'd like to point out is how silly this all is. I get that nobody can comment while the lawyers are involved, but this deal is getting done. Obviously. The show is too valuable to everyone. It's like those stories that pop up every few years about the Simpsons voice cast wanting more money, and how they're perfectly happy to walk away if they don't get a better deal. Well, yeah. That's the one move they have. "Pay us or we won't do the thing." Then other side leaks something about the extraordinary demands they're supposedly making ("KALEY CUOCO WILL ONLY TRAVEL BY HELICOPTER, A SOURCE SAYS. EVEN FROM THE SET TO HER TRAILER"), and everything goes down to the last minute before POOF! A deal. That's how these things work, generally.

A ruthless species of interplanetary goo-like beings who amassed an interstellar empire before their ultimate defeat in an ill-fated winter campaign at the hands of the Hegemony of Man. They range in size. The smallest Blobulins can be crushed by a Gungeoneer's dodge roll, while Blobulords are ranked by how many stars they have consumed. While the vanilla variety deals contact damage, varieties like the Cubulon, Blizzbulon, Bloodbulon, and Poopbulon can fire projectiles.
Blobulon[edit | edit source]
Blobulons move towards the player and attempt to deal contact damage. They split into two Blobuloids upon death.
Blobulons leave trails of goop where they go. This trail usually does nothing other than wipe away other liquids on the floor, helping prevent damage from poison, electrocuted water and flaming oil.
If a Blobulon is jammed, the two Blobuloids it splits into will also be jammed; otherwise, they'll have independent chances to be jammed if any curse has obtained.
Blobuloid[edit | edit source]
Blobuloids move towards the player at a slightly greater speed than Blobulons and attempt to deal contact damage. They split into two Blobulins upon death.
Just like Blobulons, the Blobulins they split into will be guaranteed to be jammed if the Blobuloid that spawned them was also jammed.
Blobulin[edit | edit source]
Blobulins move towards the player at much higher speeds and attempt to deal contact damage. They have extremely low health and can be killed without taking damage by rolling into them, even if they are jammed.
Blobulins always get killed after touching the player, making Live Ammo, Blast Helmet, or Armor of Thorns an easy way to deal with them without having to shoot or roll into them.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- One of the possible modifiers in Challenge Mode is Blobulin Rancher, which makes the player's missed bullets spawn Blobulins.
Poisbulon[edit | edit source]
Poisbulons move towards the player and leave a trail of poison. They spawn a single Poisbuloid upon death as opposed to Blobulons spawning two Blobuloids.
Poisbuloid[edit | edit source]
Poisbuloids move towards the player and leave a trail of poison. They spawn two Poisbulins upon death.
Poisbulin[edit | edit source]
Poisbulins move towards the player, faster than that of a Poisbuloid, and leave a trail of poison. Fortunately because the trail is relative to their size, it can be easily escaped from quickly. Like Blobulins, they have extremely low health and can be killed without taking damage by rolling into them, even if they are jammed.
Poisbulins always get killed after touching the player, making Live Ammo, Blast Helmet, or Armor of Thorns an easy way to deal with them without having to shoot or roll into them.
Blizzbulon[edit | edit source]
Blizzbulons fire triangular bullets in all directions, followed by several spreads of 3 triangular bullets towards the player. They leave a trail of water. They freeze upon death and can be shattered by either shooting at them or dodge rolling into them, leaving a small pool of water. Using a blank will only push the body.
Leadbulon[edit | edit source]
Leadbulons move towards the player and attempt to deal contact damage. After taking enough damage, they will become enraged and continue to chase the player, leaving a trail of fire and slowly shrinking until they burn out and die automatically. They can still be damaged while enraged to make them shrink faster. While enraged, their run speed dramatically increases.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The flavor text "L-1000" is reference to the T-1000 from the Terminator movie series. This model was composed of fluid-like metal. In the movie, the Terminator is defeated by falling into molten steel, where it melts beyond its ability to reform, a behavior referenced by the Leadbulon when it ignites which causes it to fade away.
Poopulon[edit | edit source]
Poopulons slide towards the player, occasionally spinning, releasing a large amount of spiraling bullets in all directions. The bullets always spiral clockwise.
Poopulons occasionally drop a piece of corn upon death, which turns into popcorn upon receiving damage. While this corn technically counts as an enemy, it does not need to be killed to complete the room.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- If the player has curse, Poopulon's corn has a chance to be jammed and deal contact damage.
- The flavor text is a reference to "Great Mighty Poo" from Conker's Bad Fur Day.
- The fact that there is a living piece of corn inside the enemy may also link to the reference.
- There is a chance that the corn will spawn after a Poopulon is transmogrified.
Bloodbulon[edit | edit source]
Bloodbulons move towards the player and grow as they take damage. They become slower the larger they grow. Upon death, they release many strings of bullets in all directions.
Bloodbulons have two stages of growth, and take a certain amount of time to grow independent of how much damage they have taken. If a Bloodbulon has taken fatal damage before it has finished swelling into its largest form, all the damage that exceeded its final hit points will be nullified. Because of this, weapons that can freeze them are generally poor choices, as while they will temporarily immobilize the Bloodbulon, they will also interrupt its growing animations, and it cannot be shattered while frozen. The player will have to wait until it has fully grown, then deal one more blow to finish it off. This damage nullification does not occur with the first stage of growth.
Because of their ability to absorb large amounts of damage without results, this can make them a rather dangerous opponent when attempting to hide behind cover from other enemies.

You are here : Home > Campus > Associations > Setting up an association
Associations are governed by the French law of 1st July 1901, , which stipulates how they are to be created and run.Information and advice are available at the Department of Student Life (Division de la Vie Etudiante - DVE). There are several stages to setting up an association.
The articles of association specify the name, purpose and address or registered office of the association. They must also include the joining conditions for members and the annual subscription fee they are required to pay. They detail how the association is to be run (the constitution of the committee, elections and meetings of an executive board, etc.). Any changes to the articles of association must be declared to the Prefecture (the Prefecture website carries information and template statutes).
If you wish to use the university as the registered address of your association, make a written request to the university president before submitting your application to the Prefecture. To be considered, your request must be accompanied by a copy of the statutes and the composition of the committee; the purpose of the association must be linked to the university's missions and activities.
Any association registered at UPS provides the university with an annual committee list, the minutes of its Annual General Meeting, and its financial and non-financial report.
Submit the association's articles, signed by the committee members, with a declaration of association in a plain letter.
Préfecture de la Haute Garonne
1, rue Sainte Anne
31038 Toulouse Cedex 9
The necessary form is available from the Prefecture.
Once the association has been declared to the Prefecture, you will need to take out civil liability insurance for the association and open a bank account in its name.

Amanda Marcotte of Slate asked this question last year in her piece covering changes to NIH policies on sex of research animals and cells. In 2014, the NIH released a multi-phase plan to reach greater balance of male versus female animals in pre-clinical studies.
Until recently, most research was conducted on all-male cohorts of animals and cells—male was considered the default gender. Using all males avoided heterogeneous results and the 'issue' of the female menstrual cycle. Many researchers felt that for the bulk of experiments, sex would not play a significant role.
I became increasingly interested in this topic when a paper was published in June of 2015 that described biological differences in the development of pain between female and male mice. Findings by Jeffrey Mogil and Michael Salter's research groups suggest that while pain in male mice is driven by microglial cells, pain in female mice is likely driven by T cells. My reaction was: "What?! How is it possible that pain sensitivity is driven by completely different cells in males vs. females?" (This was also the paper that made me reconsider one of my Aims during my PhD qualifying exam… I primarily study female rats because I am investigating a pathology that occurs in female patients at a ratio of 9 to 1.)
I'm glad others felt the same way. Dr. Salter told Chemical & Engineering News, "Every time I talk about this, I look at the audience, and I can tell they simply don't believe it," he says. "And I tell them, 'I didn't believe it either at first.'"
Beginning in the early 1990s, the NIH, with the influence of the Office of Research on Women's Health, (check out their website for lots of interesting information!), pushed for increased inclusion of women in clinical trials. Today, half of clinical trial participants are women. With this change, a number of important findings came to light, including different effects of low-dose aspirin in males versus females and discrepancies in dosing requirements for many drugs. Despite these changes in the clinical realm, the lab rats and cells did not follow suit.
However, in the wake of new NIH grant requirements and heightened awareness amongst scientists, practices are beginning to change. In the last year or so, a swath of interesting results point to how important sex-balance is in pre-clinical and basic science research. Please note that overall these findings are quite preliminary. These are some of my favorites from a variety of fields.
- Different immune cells mediate mechanical pain hypersensitivity in male and female mice (Nature Neuroscience, June 2015)
- Individuality and Variation of Personal Regulomes in Primary Human T Cells (Cell Systems, July 2015)
- Systems analysis of sex differences reveals an immunosuppressive role for testosterone in the response to influenza vaccination (PNAS, January 2014)
- Rapamycin-mediated lifespan increase in mice is dose and sex dependent and metabolically distinct from dietary restriction (Aging Cell, June 2014)
- IL-4 Is Required for Sex Differences in Vulnerability to Focal Ischemia in Mice (Stroke, June 2015)
- Sex and Genetic Factors Determine Osteoblastic Differentiation Potential of Murine Bone Marrow Stromal Cells (PLOS One, January 2014)
How can your work support sex-balanced pre-clinical research? Include male and female animals in your work, mixtures of XX and XY cells in your cultures, and report your findings. More messy? Certainly. But some really cool (and important!) stuff is in that mess.
If you are interested in learning more about animal-based research and would like to hear from a vet that specializes in laboratory medicine, check out my piece from earlier this year.

The Pass are an electro pop four-piece from Louisville, Kentucky. Weaving together psychedelic rock, mainstream pop, and '80s dance with unforgettable melodies and dance floor ready beats, The Pass have created a sound entirely of their own.
After four years of touring, writing, and releasing singles…The Pass are back with their brand new LP: Canyons. Excited to share this new collection of songs with their fans and the music world, the album features a wide variety influences ranging from 80s pop to uptempo rock and roll. Utilizing layers and layers of synthesizers against a classic guitar, bass, and drums backing…the band explores the known rock sound set against an electronic landscape where sounds bubble to the surface and excite. Recorded at the legendary La La Land Studios in Louisville, Kentucky, The Pass worked with engineer Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket, Twin Limb) to help maximize sound, work flow, and ideas in the studio to create an album the band has long been trying to achieve. It is now ready to see the life of day.
With a raucous live show defined by high energy, lasers, fog, and an LED-synched backdrop, The Pass turn any venue into a foot sliding, head bobbing, hands in the air dance party. Since the release of their debut album Burst in 2011, they have been on a steady touring diet, playing at over 30 national festivals, thousand seat arenas, and venues from east to west coast sharing the stage with everyone from Cage the Elephant to Fall Out Boy to Walk The Moon, and more.
Over the past few years, The Pass have seen their music grow nationally and internationally through featured spots on HBO, FOX, ABC, The CW, MTV, and over 40 other TV and movie placements. Their collection of music videos have reached over 500,000 plays and over 200,000 Soundcloud/Bandcamp plays over the course of two full length LPs, a four 7″ vinyl series, and two EPs.


text: Play therapy in schools Written by: Jeff Thomas | Published: 10 September 2015 Photo: iStock Comment on this article Many schools engage with play therapy services to help support their pupils' mental health and wellbeing. Jeff Thomas looks at how primary schools can ensure they offer safe, effective and sustainable services The latest estimates from Play Therapy UK (PTUK) show that as many as 23,000 play therapists are needed in the UK, up 19 per cent since the previous Census. This is mainly due to the growth in the population of children aged from four to 12 and also an increase in the number of sessions that an average child requires (from 12 to 15).It is estimated that around 1,800 primary schools either use teaching staff in a dual role or contract out a therapy service to an individual practitioner or an external charity or organisation. Teachers and teaching assistants with at least two years' experience are well-qualified for training as registered play therapists. The overriding consideration is the need for a service that is safe, effective and sustainable.Why is play therapy effective? There are many modalities of therapies. Most are used with adults and based on talking. However, many children either cannot or will not talk about their problems. Play therapy uses creative arts media as well as other forms of play which access unconscious as well as conscious processes.The children choose the medium. The therapist is trained to communicate with the child using the chosen medium. On average only seven per cent of the session time is spent by the child in talking. The proportion rises with age to 14 per cent, still only a small percentage and yes, girls do talk more than boys, even at a young age.Measuring outcomesOne of the chief criticisms of some organisations providing play therapy services is that they fail to show how the money is spent in terms of precise measured outcomes, as opposed to their activities.The clinical outcomes of play therapy, which is effective for primary school pupils, are easily measured using the Goodman Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. This has been used in two national surveys of the Mental Health of British Children and is highly regarded as a good all-round psychometric instrument. It takes about 10 minutes to be completed by the teacher and optionally by the parent. It is quick to score.By taking pre and post-therapy measures, the changes in the pupils' emotional, behaviour and other mental health issues can be measured. The latest analysis of PTUK's national database of more than 25,000 cases shows that 73 per cent of all children show a positive change after they have received therapy delivered to PTUK's standards; 83 per cent of children with severe issues show a positive change.Focus on the main objectivesSchools should focus on the support that therapy provides in enabling the potential of each pupil to learn, in the broadest sense. This is also fairly straightforward to measure once the school has agreed its therapy-related objectives, such as improved concentration on work, better listening, communication skills, reduced unauthorised absences etc.A sound financial modelAs a benchmark, PTUK's data shows that an average of 15 sessions is required at an average cost of £45 per session – i.e. £675 per pupil – to achieve the outcomes shown above. However, children at risk and who are not capable of functioning normally will need many more sessions than average.How can a school prove the potential effectiveness of a play therapy service, without committing to a significant budget and so that expectations can be managed?PTUK's accredited training provider working in a collaborative partnership with Leeds Beckett University manages one-year pilot schemes nationwide that test the feasibility, effectiveness and compatibility of a new service. The cost to a school is a few hundred pounds. This programme has a present capacity of 300 new schemes a year and is not dependent upon government, local authority or charitable funding.Delegation without controlIt is vital that the headteacher or an appointed deputy maintains tight control and integration of a play therapy service within the school. This means no "black boxes" where nobody knows exactly what is going on, no therapists "hiding" in their play room, but regular meetings and presentations to all school staff. Without breaking the personal confidentiality of the pupil's therapy, the progress of the pupil can and should be regularly reported upon. PTUK advises its registrants upon the format and content of service management reports and provides free software to produce them efficiently.Quality assuranceFortunately for schools there is now a robust method of quality assurance – only use therapists who are on a register overseen by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).Unfortunately too many examples keep coming to light of unsafe practice in schools. Too many schools are using organisations whose staff are not on an accredited register. An Ofsted official has stated that "it is not sufficient just to have a Disclosure and Barring Service check, when working with pupils' minds, they must be adequately trained and clinically supervised".The PSA reports directly to Parliament and oversees all health and social care professions in the UK. In 2012, it was commissioned to produce a new more effective programme of registering health professions using Right Touch Regulation principles. This programme of Accredited Registers (AR) now includes play therapists, counsellors and child psychotherapists. There are a number of standards that an AR must meet and which are checked each year. They include protection of the public, public confidence, good risk-management, financial viability, ability to manage a register, corporate governance, registrant standards of practice, education/training and an effective complaints procedure.

Linux.com Interview: Mark Micire of the Center for Robotic Assisted Search and Rescue at the University of South Florida.
Mark Micire helps build and deploy the robots used to speed the search for survivors in the rubble of the World Trade Center. The CRASAR Lab that create these remarkable robots use Linux for most of their computing needs. Linux, and the geeks, researchers and professors who use it are speeding the development of critical technologies like USAR Robotics, technologies that help save lives. Linux.com got in touch with this lab in South Florida to get a closer look at who they are, what they do, and what they do it with.

Mark Micire is a graduate student at the University of South Florida CRASAR lab -- The Center for Robotic Assisted Search and Rescue. He's one of a team of four people led by Dr Robin Murphy who responded with 24 hours to the dramatic search and rescue presented to the nation on September 11th. The team has research interests in unstructured environments and victim detection. In addition, each member of the team is themselves formally trained in Urban Search and Rescue. Imagine for a second when this team of rescue academics from florida show up with a mass of robots, most packable by a human being, but as it turns out it is the smallest marsupial machines that really perform. Small, sturdy robots (about the size of a big loaf of bread) are the critters that can go down drains and squeeze through cracks, where no human can go, no matter how determined. It's possible these designs still proved the most adept at finding victims in the rubble.
The robotocist teams are still at work on the rubble even today, though the mission has long been changed to analysis and inspection duties. Neverthless, for the days following September 11th, this first use of robots to help target victims is considered a dramatic success, as you may have already seen in the media.
Incidentally, most of the robots that have a brain at all run Linux for their primitive nervous systems, so we were also interested in why so many critters might share the same operating system. (As a side note we should mention here that the marsupial robots have, as yet, no processor.)
Anyway, turns out it's much more than just price that puts Linux into all these exciting robots. Mike Micire told us "Linux and robotics are very closely tied... You only have to go to a single robotics competition and see how many people are using Linux to understand."
OK, so don't tell us twice, we know a Linux success story when we see one!
Today Linux.com caught up with Mike Micire, now that he is 'back in the office' and asked him about the experience and about the robots he works with every day.
Click through to read the interview and see the pictures of the team in action (with robots descending drains) and thanks for visiting Linux.com.

Help us name our Making Memories Bear!
We're celebrating a Well Done Thursday in the Development office today. Today is the Belgrade's fantastic family fun day, so we thought today would be the perfect day to introduce our visitors to our lovely Making Memories Bear.
The bear is spending the day at the box office meeting lots of children, and is hoping that they can help it find a name! Nathan and Nicole had a great time enjoying the drama games and dressing up, and even got a great big hug from the bear!
The bear will be at box office until the New Year, and anyone who wishes to help name it can do so by donating £1 to Making Memories.
We're incredibly proud of the work that we do; however, none of this would be possible without the support of our audiences, funders, donors and Members.
To find out how you can help support the work of the Belgrade, click here.
The Belgrade Theatre Trust is a registered charity (number 219163). This means that all the money given, raised or earned is not distributed as profit but kept and reinvested in the work that we do.

Annie Bany performed at the Hydrocephalus Association Portland charity WALK to raise awareness and funds for hydrocephalus, an incurable brain condition affecting one million Americans.
Bethesda, MD | June 28, 2013
Annie Bany, a local singer-songwriter best known for her alternative pop-country style, performed songs from her newly released album, Barefoot and Young, at the Hydrocephalus Association's 4th annual WALK, on Saturday, June 15 at Blue Lake Park in Fairview, OR. More than 500 walkers representing local families, schools, corporations, and organizations came out for the event. To date, this year's event has raised more than $33,000 to support the Hydrocephalus Association's mission to eliminate the challenges of hydrocephalus by funding critical research and program services.
"There is no cure for hydrocephalus and the current treatment option requires brain surgery, often many surgeries over the course of a person's lifetime," stated Mike Schwab, a member of the Hydrocephalus Association Board of Directors and the father of 11-year old Joseph, who has hydrocephalus. "As Annie sang her song, Barefoot and Young, the lyrics 'little ray of sunshine…' struck a chord with me in terms of the hope and comfort this event provides to all those kids, adults, and families impacted by hydrocephalus."
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain. About two in every 1,000 babies are born with hydrocephalus. It can also develop as the result of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or as a part of the aging process in the senior population where it is often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
"Anyone can develop hydrocephalus at any time. It's more prevalent than most people think. It's time to find a cure," stated WALK co-founder Tara Miller whose son, Grant, was born with hydrocephalus. She and her husband, Jerrod, began the WALK four years ago to raise awareness of the condition. They were pleased to have Annie join the festivities this year and perform as the walkers were returning from the two-mile walk.
Moved by the event, Annie graciously donated 100% of the proceeds from the sale of her CDs that day to assist the cause. She also accompanied on guitar young 11-year old Chase Swearingen, who has hydrocephalus, as he spontaneously sang to the crowd at the end of her performance.
"It was a moving day for me. I had not heard of hydrocephalus before performing at the WALK. I didn't realize how it impacts the kids and adults living with this condition, who work hard to live normal lives, but may all of the sudden need emergency brain surgery," stated Bany. "I'm so glad I had a chance to meet everyone, learn about hydrocephalus, and raise money for such an important cause."
About the Hydrocephalus Association
The Hydrocephalus Association (HA) is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating the challenges of hydrocephalus by stimulating research and supporting people who are affected by this condition. Incorporated in 1986, HA is now the nation's largest and most widely respected organization dedicated solely to serving those affected by hydrocephalus. HA has been instrumental in creating a community of individuals, families and health care professionals addressing the complexities of hydrocephalus in all age groups. In 2009, HA launched its Research Initiative and has funded $2 million in research to enhance the understanding of this complex condition as well as to find better treatment options and, ultimately, a cure.

Tim Ingold Keynote #ifip82dublin
It seems to me that, over the course of my lifetime, science has increasingly lost its ecological bearings, while the arts have increasingly gained them. As regards the journey in my own teaching and research, I now imagine it as an Odyssey – a journey home – to the kind of science imbibed in childhood, as the son of a mycologist. This was a science grounded in tacit wonder at the exquisite beauty of the natural world, and in silent gratitude for what we owe to this world for our existence. Today's science, however, has turned wonder and gratitude into commodities. They no longer guide its practices, but are rather invoked to advertise its results. The goals of science are modelling, prediction and control. Perhaps this is why, more and more, we turn to art to rediscover the humility that science has lost? It seems to me that the people who are doing what I understood – forty years ago – to be science are now artists. Thus, my project is now one that seeks to integrate anthropology with the practices of art, architecture and design.
Karin Knorr-Cetina Keynote #ifip82dublin
Trading screens are not supposed to be black. In fact, when we see them on trading floors, on TV , or in media centres, they attract us with catching colours and blinking information. They project urgency, speed, and power – the power of big money, the power of winning and losing. When we are near them, we feel their heat. We want to give in to their considerable attraction. We want to be players of the game and part of the action.

I Don't Know Your Life
At the time, I took it for what it was– a punchline. I found the story funny and yet I resented it to some degree because it made me hungry for something I didn't have– a bucket of crispy, salty, golden fried chicken– and more disappointed in the steaming pot of hen flesh in front of me that seemed to fall apart in my hand.

This article appears in Volume 1 – Issue 1 of SKUNK Magazine.
THE WEED in the picture was some seriously stanky dank that was grown organically in the great outdoors. It had gained some slightly purple hues from the cool nights and was glazed with crystal and crumble dry. One puff (and two coughs) later it became clear that the day was going to consist of indulgence in a phat sack of this tasty, heavy-set smoke. One joint later, the smoking a phat sack idea was out the window, replaced by maybe a phat joint or two.
Outdoors it created short bushes with multiple tops. The buds were rounded and easy to trim with the shake making high-grade water hash. If you like hash, this is a great pick. More known for its indoor potential, one should expect dense buds on shorter plants there as well. The smell is definitely present but not so powerful that a good carbon filter won't cover it up. The smoke also mellows with age so curing this one a bit longer will make a big difference in the hack factor.

Now everyone probably realizes that not all light bulbs are created equally. Of course, there are different types of light bulbs you got, incandescent, fluorescent and LED.
But did you know there are actually different types of quality of the light that is actually produced by each bulb, and you can actually measure it using something called CRI – color rendering index.
The first question: How can you possibly measure the quality of light isn't that pretty subjective?
Well, it's basically comparing the light, that is produced by a particular bulb to a natural light source, usually in this case the sun. And specifically we're comparing, how that light reflects and reveals colors it shines on to, that we then see and we usually use the Sun as a reference, and it's said to have a perfect 100 CRI and you can kind of see on the spectrum of light it produces. It's relatively smooth, there are no big spikes or anything like that. It's also a good reference, because that's the light source that our eyes evolved under. So it's probably better to use a natural light source for the better reference as opposed to an artificial one, that our eyes aren't used to, maybe you could say.
Besides the Sun, the only other light source that would really be a hundred CRI is some sort of blackbody radiation emitting.
For example, that would just be a chunk of matter, that is ideal and does not reflect any light. It's kind of a physics term, but when you heat it up, it emits a certain spectrum of light at a certain color temperature based on how hot it gets. That's where you get the terms like 5,500K. 6500K is basically referring to the color temperature that would be emitted by an ideal blackbody of matter. At that temperature, one example of a blackbody emitting light source is an incandescent light.
It's not obviously an ideal blackbody, which doesn't really exist, but it's close enough and incandescent lights actually have a 100 CRI. It just uses heated upon stand metal and you can see also on its light spectrum, that it's very smooth, it's obviously not exactly like the Sun.
Because it's more shifted towards the red and infrared, but because it's so smooth that there are no spikes or anything, so it produces very good color representation.
Now 100 is the highest CRI you can get, but there is really no lower limit. As a matter of fact, there are some light sources that are negative.
For example, low pressure sodium light bulbs are actually in the negative 40s typically, that's because they really only produce one band of yellow light. It's just a big spike and it's monochrome, so if you shine that at something, it's really gonna make everything look yellow, which is obviously completely inaccurate.
The only advantage of that type of light is that it is very efficient, so uses power even more efficiently than LEDs. But because it produces color so poorly, you really only see low pressure sodium lights in street lamps and outside, and that sort of thing like in Los Angeles up until recently where they switch to LEDs.
Where do LEDs and fluorescents stack up? It really depends on the individual bulb, the manufacturer. You can probably expect a CRI only of about 50, because if you look at the spectrum fluorescents typically have a big spike in the green, also in the orange.
So a lot of times if you use fluorescent lights on video for video lighting, it usually casts kind of a green cue that you have to edit out later. It's not that big a deal, but it is there.
However, there are high CRI fluorescent lights. They use multiple different phosphors in the light, they get illuminated, so it more evens out the spikes.
It's a higher CRI and it's more uniform even though you still get the spikes.
It is a better quality especially for video for LED lights. You usually see a higher CRI usually 80, or higher and that's because it really doesn't have any spikes like the fluorescents do, and also there are high CRI LEDs.
Some claim that they can go up to the high 90s like 97 CRI. That's getting pretty close to tungsten incandescence, and they're often used because they're just so power efficient. It kind of gives a trade-off, a good trade-off compared to the really power-hungry incandescence.
What's the point of having this measurement and why would you want a high CRI?
There are many places where you'd want a good light source. For example, if you have an art gallery. That's obviously very important to have good color representation, because you know people want to go and see the colors used in the art, or whatever.
So you want a high CRI light so that you're actually seeing what's on the painting or whatever.
Also say you own a clothing shop and you are selling clothes and trying to show different colored shirts or something like that. The customers probably want to have a really good representation of the real color of that shirt or whatever. When they leave the store and go out in the sunlight, it doesn't look completely different than what they expected. It probably wouldn't look completely different, but you know what happened.
Anywhere, color is important to the location or situation, you probably want to have a good light source because color is all about the light source really.
Anyway, now CRI isn't a perfect system, there are some cases where it's not the best measurement, especially in cases where the color temperature of the light is less than 5,000 Kelvin. There are other color appearance models, that's what they're called then are less popular, but might be better in other situations.
For example, there's one metric called TLC eye television lighting consistency index, which is specifically designed to represent how color is going to be revealed on video sensors. Not necessarily the human eye, because video sensors obviously use a completely different method of capturing light data than the human eye. You want that to be consistent because what you see might be completely different than what the video camera sees.
There are different models that might even be more accurate than CRI, but it's still the most popular. The next time you go to buy light bulb and you see that one is way more expensive than the other, it might be produce better light. It's something worth checking out maybe on the box, it might tell you the CRI or at least something you can look up later, or if you are doing some video work then you probably want to go for a higher CRI or even do some research. If you own a shop or something like that hopefully you found this idears useful and interesting.
