By Lee Lueck
Even though I live 500 miles away from her, my mother is my constant companion in the kitchen. On the many nights I make spaetzle for my family, I measure flour with the scoop I scavenged years ago from her overflowing utensil drawers. I load the batter in the spaetzle maker Mom gave me because every self-respecting Czech-Slovak-American cook needs this essential kitchen tool. The batter falls like ribbons into the boiling water in the copper-bottomed Revereware passed down to me from her mother. I drain the tender dumplings in another of Mom's castoffs, a colander I've used for the past 25 years, and serve them in the scalloped stoneware bowl that once belonged to her aunt.
My family is the fourth generation to eat at our golden oak table. How many times did Mom open it wide to serve a dozen people a holiday meal at which we eagerly stuffed ourselves fuller than she packed the turkey, debated our views of the day's events and laughed as our seemingly meek grandma displayed her sassy side? Even after savoring the last bite of pumpkin pie, nobody wanted to leave.
The table's solid presence in my cozy room represents the perfect image of Mom's presence in my life. It's as tangible as the pots and pitchers she has lavished on me over the years, but it also embodies her very identity as Wife, Mother, Daughter, Friend, Nurturer. Mom doesn't need to read any of the now-popular books telling my fast-food and fad-food generation about The Shared Table or coming Back to the Table. Throughout the nearly 40 years she had her five children or ailing mom and uncle living with her and the following years as an empty nester, her life has written The Welcoming Table for family and friends fortunate to share in her simple seasonal meals and lively conversation.
She understands that food was meant for sharing, that meals should be eaten together – at the table, not in the car – and that she not only feeds bodies, but nourishes souls. She knows that tasty food does not need to be fussy or complicated or take an entire afternoon to prepare and that often the best dishes are the happy accidents discovered as you try to find yet another way in August to serve zucchini.
Mom is 82 now, walking on an artificial hip and knee, her right femur held together with a rod and screws. She spends the majority of her day visiting Dad at his nursing home. Yet she still feeds us.
I spent a week with her and Dad earlier this summer after Dad's latest stroke. Six weeks earlier – during Mom's recovery from knee surgery – he and I had cooked and cleaned together. We'd gone to Walgreens for Mom's medication. Now the once animated storyteller was unable to speak; it took me 15 minutes during my first day with him to figure out he wanted the blinds lowered in his room. He could barely grasp his fork; "Look at your hand, Dad. You really have to concentrate on your grip," I gently reminded him as I cleaned the gravy off the handle for the fourth time.
I returned to Mom's house after settling Dad in his room. She stood at the stove sautéing zucchini and frying pork chops, her cane hooked on the countertop. She must have seen my exhaustion because she insisted I sit down. "How do you bear it?" I asked as she brought our plates to the table. "It's so hard to see Dad like this." Her eyes filled with tears. "He doesn't deserve this," she agreed, knowing she would be by his side through the lengthy recovery.
Just as she was by my side right then, as I cut into the chop and let myself savor the tender, peppery bite. "Thanks for supper, Mom," I said as I sopped up all the juice. "I didn't realize how hungry I was."
Lee Lueck spends her daytime hours marketing medical software. Last week she told a group of friends she needed to start taking better care of herself. That meant getting a haircut, having her teeth cleaned, walking with a friend and writing about topics that truly mattered to her. The next day she saw the announcement for the Woman of Valor Contest. As soon as she finished this piece about her mom, she hurried to her son's house, eating a cheeseburger in the car on her way over. Lee also has three daughters, a husband, two in-law children and a 9-month-old granddaughter, Hazel. She blogs at Sketches and Notes., and has written a special tribute to her mom today.
This post is part of our Women of Valor series. Eshet chayil—woman of valor— has long been a blessing of praise in the Jewish community. Husbands often sing the line from Proverbs 31 to their wives at Sabbath meals. Women cheer one another on through accomplishments in homemaking, career, education, parenting, and justice by shouting a hearty "eshet chayil!" after each milestone. Great women of the faith, like Sarah and Ruth and Deborah, are identified as women of valor. One of my goals after completing my year of biblical womanhood was to "take back" Proverbs 31 as a blessing, not a to-do list, by identifying and celebrating women of valor. To help me in this, you submitted nearly 100 essays to our Women of Valor essay contest. There were so many essays that made me laugh, cry, and think I've decided that, in addition to the eight winners we featured in August, I will select several more to feature as guest posts throughout the fall.
We have honored a single mom, a feisty professor, a midwife, a foster parent, an abuse survivor, a brave grandmother, a master seamstress, a young Ugandan woman who reached out to a sister in need, and many more.

A Quranic Name for Girls
Meaning: Beautiful and Radiant
Maleehah is variant of Maliha and has the exact same meaning and pronunciation (see below for full meaning). You can use either Maleehah or Maliha, both are correct and acceptable. If you like this variant more and you'd like to pronounce it the way it is spelled (different than the original name), this is perfectly acceptable. For more details please see the main entry at: Maliha.
Full Meaning of Maleehah
Maleehah is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means "woman with happy glowing face", "beautiful", "well-spoken". It is derived from the M-L-H6 root (salt, beauty) which is used twice in the Quran.
It is He who released the two bodies of flowing water, one sweet and fresh and the other salty and bitter, and set up an insurmountable barrier between them. (Quran 25:53)

One Texas artist starts a cozy revolution, inspiring knitters worldwide to take to the streets.
Author Sloane Crosley Illustration Kate Jenkins
You couldn't ask for better symbolism. In 2005, Magda Sayeg was sitting in her Houston clothing boutique when the then-31-year-old found herself overcome with an unfamiliar sensation: boredom • "I was just staring at the doorknob and I thought,
I think I'm going to knit that today
. That doorknob changed the course of my life."
To meet Sayeg is to have great difficulty picturing her bored anytime, ever. The stylish mother of three had already founded Brasil restaurant in 1991 and a clothing shop called Raye in 2004—both back in her native Houston—when the doorknob beckoned. After she finished knitting it a tiny sweater, she walked through that door to found Knitta Please, a collective of crafters frustrated with all their unfinished projects and looking to make unexpected corners of their city a little warmer. Growing from Sayeg's imagination into a small army of volunteers and impassioned local knitters, the group's mission was to "take yarn out of the home and onto the streets," knitting colorful sleeves for lampposts, stop signs, benches, fire hydrants, parking meters, bicycles and buses—oh my. "I wanted to make these things more beautiful. But I didn't have a spray can. I had yarn." Think of it as graffiti with a heart of spool.
And so, armed with her yarn, Sayeg (then known only by her nom de needle, PolyCotN) would sneak around in the night, leading teams wielding knitting needles and knapsacks of colorful yarn. Gradually, Knitta's work evolved from madcap parking meter decor to an organized effort to beautify the city. She knit the tree trunks on Houston's Allen Parkway in time for the city's annual Art Car Parade. That turned out to be a turning point for the collective. After the parade, Knitta Please was commissioned to do public projects in Seattle and Los Angeles. Around that time Sayeg outed herself as the leader of the group (which has since dwindled just to her) and joined the ranks of renowned street artists. What she does might technically stretch the letter of the law, but who needs to arrest someone who knits a cozy for a city bus?
Self-described "guerrilla knitters" or "yarn bombers" around the country have taken on this peculiar mission of beautification. Pockets thrive throughout the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia. According to Vancouver-based Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain, who coauthored Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet and Knit Graffiti, the handmade movement began to grow as the economy slowed. "Some people are doing this just because they think it's delightful, to add cheer to their landscape," Moore says. "But there's definitely a message about counterconsumption in it."
The finished product has to be functional, Sayeg says. "That's the point, to build on what's already there. Like when I did a whole bus in Mexico City, I refused to do the tires. I get frustrated if I see a bicycle so knitted over that it couldn't possibly be ridden." She owns an old Vespa on which she can often be seen riding around Austin. Every inch is covered in a blue, green, white, purple, black and red chevron pattern—except, of course, for the tires.
WHEN WE MEET AT GUERO'S TACO Bar, a local favorite with a legitimately faded Anthropologie look, Sayeg is dressed like a haute hippie mother: crinkled loose white dress, brown suede shoes, aviator glasses and a long, bright scarf sleeping around her neck.
"I got this in Bali," she says, touching the scarf. "I think I'm still dressing like I'm there. Bali was mind-blowingly awesome. I have to say travel has been the biggest perk of Knitta. I've seen the whole wide world."
Indeed, Sayeg has done public knitting installations across the United States and in such far-flung locales as Australia, Italy, Indonesia, Mexico and China, where she created a kind of loose-knit cable muff for a randomly chosen rock on the Great Wall of China. Lucky rock.
That's not to say that Austin, Sayeg's home since early 2009, is hurting for knit pieces. Her work is on view throughout the city—if you know where to look. There's the lightpost just outside of the art bookstore she co-owns, Domy. Or the five-foot-tall letters at Jo's Café next to the chic San Jose hotel, a gift for the café's owner, Liz Lambert. The loveliness of Sayeg's work is undeniable, but the lasting impact is how simultaneously distinctive and natural it seems. When you stroll past a telephone pole adorned in cream-colored yarn, there's a double-take and an unavoidable smile—because there is a delightfully anthropomorphic effect when it comes to yarn graffiti. This otherwise unremarkable pole seems to be saying: Yeah, I'm wearing a doily. What of it?
I take in the authentically rundown decor as Sayeg and I munch on chips and guacamole. Knit graffiti doesn't have the permanence of sculpture or even regular graffiti. It's not weatherproof and isn't immune to unraveling or even the occasional vandal. Sayeg doesn't mind. "I'm not so concerned about the everlasting quality of my work," she says. "It's more about myself and the people who see what I've done having an interaction with an inanimate piece of steel."
She's careful not to describe her work as folk art, though. "I think folk art is making things pretty without a required explanation," Sayeg says. "What I do is something different. Which isn't to say I wasn't influenced by folk art. Especially growing up in Houston, being exposed at a young age to houses made of beer cans. I was truly charmed by it. How can you not be?"
But Sayeg thinks of her art as something evolving in step with the larger scene. Last year, she collaborated with local artist and architect Carl Trominski. His Moments, a series of plain blue reflector signs installed under the Lamar overpass, were not so popular among Austin residents. So Sayeg called the artist directly and suggested she might be able to help.
"I got his blessing to knit his work. I wouldn't have done anything without his permission," she says. "A lamppost is one thing, but this was someone else's art. He was great, and the city shut down the road for us. I put a ladder in the back of a truck to reach. I had help but as it got later it kind of diminished to one person—me, just knitting throughout the night. And it worked. This cold streetscape became softer and warmer."
This quasi-collaboration was part of the reason Knitta was selected as the Austin Chronicle's 2010 "Reader's Choice for Best Public Art." Now Sayeg's work has become so popular, she has spent the last year knitting five or six massive commissioned pieces and corporate installations. Crafts site Etsy. com recently hired her to come to their offices and complete what Sayeg refers to as "an air duct cozy extravaganza," where she covered the exposed ducts with granny squares. She designed a line of iPhone cases and covered hotel lobbies, and anyone who attended the Austin City Limits festival saw the rainbow-colored poles of light and free- standing letters spelling "ART" in the middle of Zilker Park. As if there was any doubt.
AFTER LUNCH, SAYEG TAKES me on a driving tour of her work. There's the striped drainpipe at the Alamo Drafthouse cinema in an unassuming shopping center; the multicolor striped light post outside Domy, across the street from a dark mural of a cityscape; and the cheerfully striped Jo's Café sign on trendy South Congress, with each letter done in two different colors.
We pull into the driveway of Sayeg's modern ranch-style home, and I accidentally open the car door into a wall of cacti, breaking some of the branches. Sayeg doesn't mind. In fact, she says, the house suffers from a form-over-function design. "The builders put the driveway so that you have to pull into this exact spot but then they put a wall of plants along the entire right side. It looks cool but it makes no sense."
Inside we are greeted by an English bulldog named Stella and piles upon piles of yarn, some vintage and some new. Her kitchen and garage are a combination of Santa's workshop and Rainbow Brite's closet. She talks about where she wants to go next with Knitta Please.
"I want to make the actual yarn," she says, and pulls out a '60s-style swatch of canary yellow and light brown. "There are beautiful afghans in these old colors you can't find anymore. Where are they in the aisles of craft stores? There are amazing patterns, a lot that can be done, and knitting is no longer just a cute crafts thing."
Some of those guerrilla knitters who do still think of their art as "a cute crafts thing" are flocking to stores to buy Prain and Moore's book, looking for inspiration from people with tags such as Captain Plaknit and Lady Loop, trying to fill some need to "do happy things that don't cost money," as Prain puts it. This cheery army of friendly graffiti artists is slowly besweatering the world's most unassuming streetscapes.
Meanwhile, Sayeg is in talks with the Standard Hotel, a company she's worked with several times before, about doing a stairwell in their New York location. On my way out, she shows me a sketch of the plans. It looks a bit like a Cray-Pas Rothko on a white piece of paper—blocks of orange and red stacked unevenly atop one another. If I had seen the drawing before meeting Sayeg, I wouldn't have known I was looking at the blueprint for something massive and striking. It's doubtful my brain would have even registered "staircase."
Examining the blueprint, I think of that bare doorknob in Houston years ago and what a sketch for its life-altering sweater might have looked like. Probably like a big blob of primary colors. So in Magda Sayeg's hands, there's no telling where those carefully sketched stairs will lead.
New York–based writer SLOANE CROSLEY is the author of essay collections I Was Told There'd Be Cake and How Did You Get This Number.
I loved reading this story. It was intriguing, artsy, informative and inspirational. Bravo Soane Crosley. You captured the excitement and energy of the artist with your words and imagery and made me want to purchase knitting needles and start decorating my neighborhood.
I loved the article, I feel as though we're kindred spirits, so something I would do.
Thanks for sharing! Lynnell

Ross wrote:Thought I'd have a proper dip in here - the music making board is a pretty quiet place these days, but wanted to write something as encouragement when you're starting off is always important. Only commenting on the YouTube tracks so far, but here are some honest thoughts…
I'm really impressed with how you're doing for somebody who's only just really beginning with your current setup. I don't know much about the Circuit, but it's obviously a nice box to get some good chunky sounds out of, which you're doing well with. Overall I'd say the limited palette doesn't always help, which is something you admitted yourself in the opening post, so I'm sure as you gradually pick up more gear over time that'll be ironed out. I'd say some of the tracks are maybe a bit overlong too, which I find is very common with people starting out. Loads of my early tracks were seven minutes when they should have been three. I spend as much time chopping stuff out of songs and albums these days as I do actually creating the music.
Typically the more ambient and strangely structured stuff is a lot more up my street than the mid-tempo, breaksy beaty type stuff - although there's an Orbital vibe in some of those tracks that I dig. The Ambientwerks pieces were nice in their kind of intuitive, jamming way - I do enjoy tracks that just seem to go off in strange directions like that. 03 is my favourite of those.
Enjoyed the strange textural nature of Into the Forest a lot. Ground Cover is similarly engaging. I think maybe I just like delays a lot. Spaces in Places has a wonderful atmosphere to it. Corridor and Rust are really good.
For single tracks, I'd recommend uploading to SoundCloud rather than YouTube. Although SC is a shadow of what it used to be, there's still the option for more interaction, especially if you're following people, commenting on their tracks, sharing etc. It can feel a little like shouting into a void at times, but you have the chance of being discovered by strangers on there.
All this said, I'm not really a single track kind of person, so I'll give the albums a listen soon. Similarly with the above recommendation, try uploading to Bandcamp for album releases. Again, you always have the chance of being discovered - everything I've put on there for free has been downloaded plenty of times simply by people browsing new releases or through tags. You can also build up a discography in a nicely structured, visual way on there.
You're obviously doing well with programming the Circuit and getting tracks out of it, which is a great first step. In terms of what I was saying about editing, this is all part of finding your own musical 'voice', which is something that comes over time. I churned out a lot of material back in the day before I came up with an album that felt completely 'me'. You seem to be able to cover a lot of musical ground well, so it's likely you'll find a way to tie that all together with a certain consistency that allows your tracks to be recognisably 'you' over time.
Anyway, that's my take on it all based on my experiences as a musician and listener, but your perspective might be totally different anyway, in which case you can ignore me all together!
btw the SX-1 is likely to be a very expensive box, but it'll be followed shortly after by the very affordable HALia which looks set to be a staggeringly versatile bit of kit.
Concept wrote:What's been keeping me away from Bandkamp are wavs. I've been recording MP3's at 260kbps instead of recording files as wav and I read in their terms and conditions that that's not really recommended. Another thing is that I don't think my stuff is good enough to sell quite yet, and I'd like to offer it for free.
Any idea on when the HALia is supposed to be out? What other gear would you recommend at an early stage to accompany a groovebox/hardware sequencer that's in the sub-£500 range?
Ross wrote:You can offer it up for free download on Bandcamp, or set it to 0.00 and allow people to pay if they like.
A LOT of my music was either originally rendered to mp3 or samples a lot of mp3s. Most listeners aren't going to tell
Depends what you're after. The Korg Volca series are all pretty nice - the FM has basically the same workings as the classic Yamaha DX-7, and you can even use patches from it, so it's pretty versatile. The MicroKorg XL is a nice synth for pads and general playing that's not too expensive - I picked up mine second hand for about £150.
The HALia will follow the SX-1 - typically with FSOL everything is taking longer than originally predicted. But I reckon probably the end of the year. Last thing I heard it will be very affordable. And given that Symphony for HALia was made entirely on it, it's going to be a wonderful little box.
Concept wrote:A Korg sounds like a good idea. I was this close to picking up the Electribe before I went for the Circuit. What's the gear that you most return to? I read in another thread that you're mostly hardware-based these days?
Are there ever going to be any articles as to the working process? How deep are Brian and Gaz involved with the technical design/developing synth patches and the like?

With the late night show Friday night keeping me out until roughly 5am, I was much less ambitious with photos on my second day at JazzFest. Not to mention there were easily 30% more people on Saturday vs. Friday meaning that if I wanted to push my way up to the front of some of the more popular stages (CeeLo, Tom Petty), it would mean telling Keri and my friends goodbye for the next few hours. I decided to spend most of my time sticking around my friends and snapping photos of some of the people of JazzFest. It's funny that one of the common themes I found throughout the day was lots of love in the air. Coupled with the engagement I saw on Friday, there were lots of lovey-dovey people all over! It was all really sweet to me. While I came for the music and the food, others came for love- maybe just bringing couples closer together. I decided to feature some of of here in addition to the shows I caught.
Though these next two in these photos aren't together, Alex and Allie just got married in October and are a very awesome couple... especially since they bought matching RayBans at the 'fest. :)
Now for other photos. Here is Feist on the Gentilly Stage:

Top Ten Hindi Sufi Rock Bandsfinnyjacob These are bands that have an element of raw rock to there Hindi sufi Band...
The Top Ten
This band from New-Delhi, Sifar is an alt-rock band that was shaped in 2008. Listen to "Dastan" from their collection titled 2, which is a grunge-substantial, cutting edge rock single that makes them raring to go. - finnyjacob
Probably the best rock band in the country
Finally a list that actually seems to be actual Hindi bands and not ones that mention Urdu Pakistani bands
Faridkot, however a band that has been on the non mainstream circuit for quite a while now, can't be overlooked on this rundown. Hailing from Delhi, the band amalgamates Sufi impacts with their stone ethos. Faridkot make music that differs from pop shake to dynamic rock. For whatever length of time that they're making superlative music, we're overjoyed. - finnyjacob
The Local Train is an Indian rock band from Delhi, India. Shaped in Chandigarh Tricity in 2008, the band has been perceived for its dynamic part in social celebrations in Indian universities. Their presentation collection "Aalas Ka Pedh" was discharged in September 2015. - finnyjacob
Lagori is a recreational game played by thumping down stones with a ball (much like rocking the bowling alley), trailed by a pursuit arrangement, guided by limit. Much like the adrenaline controlled by the amusement, the combination rock act Lagori as well, conveys sweet melodic riffs and prompts the table. Listen to their crushing blend of "Garaj Baras" (Junoon) and "Pardesi" (Dev D) beneath. - finnyjacob
A heady mix of Indian folk and rock n' roll makes them one of the peppiest Indian bands around. Steadily gaining in popularity with a string on live performances that always have the audience on its toes, their re-interpretation of folk has all the folks astir. - finnyjacob
Established by Kailash Kher, Kailasa mixes sufi, rock and western music alongside components of Indian traditional to serve a delightful blend no music significant other can avoid. Having performed in more than 100 urban areas, the gatherings of people absolutely appear to love what they are singing. - finnyjacob
Awesome band..Fusion
Asif khan voice amazing for sufi tracks
They are just amazingV 3 Comments
Pune rockers Rohit Vasudevan Diaries ought to be on everybody's radar. Frontman Rohit Vasudevan's entrancing vocals gives it an edge numerous groups discover hard to coordinate up to. Listen to the single "Zindagi Ek Khoj". It will unbelievably lift your soul up. - finnyjacob
Had you been to Bangalore's gigging venue CounterCulture early this year, you would've seen an uncommon beverage called Ziyankar. You'd be excited to realize that this beverage was made to group reserve Parvaaz's most recent immersive offering - the collection, Baran. Smart devotion is everything we can say. Listen to "Khufiya Dastan" underneath. - finnyjacob

Dinner Party
I keep attending the same old dinner party, over and over again. I go back because I can't stand the thought of missing out.
Oh, you're there too. We all go to the function night after night.
And we listen to the same old stories about baking cookies. The same people prattle on about their cat's cute antics. I should know. I'm a teller of those tales.
We get caught in the corner by that person who simply will not stop talking politics, not allowing us a word in edgewise. We look imploringly to others for help when we're being held hostage by the soul who has told us more about their last visit to the dentist than we can bear to hear.
We're a little in dread over who we'll be sitting next to, and we wonder if this will be the evening when the aloof family member will take notice of our presence and give us a nod.
We tell ourselves that we're taking a break. We don't need to be there all the time. So what if we miss out on some big news? Someone will surely fill us in. But, like the moth to the flame, we return.
See you on Facebook.
One Response to "Dinner Party"
Ha! I love it 😉

Mechanical Dummy got the scoop on one of the hottest headwear brands that's on the top of everyones' heads right now. You've seen Jay Z, French Montana and others don the bold hats from Paislee, and brand director Richie Perna explained what sets the brand apart and where they get inspiration.
Mechanical Dummy: What inspired the creation of the brand?
Paislee Hats: We saw a void in the hat market, its really easy to get a hat with your favorite team, your hometown, even most brands now offer hats with their logo or brand all over it. But there wasn't really anything that stood apart from the crowd and we just went from there.
MD: Where do you seek inspiration for new designs?
PH: Sounds cliché, but everywhere. Popular song lyrics, 80's & 90's pop culture, movies, anywhere really; each snapback has its own story.
MD: What separates your product from other headwear brands?
PH: Our quality for starters, we started like most on blanks from a really popular manufacturer, but we pushed forward and designed our own snapback and it's really second to none. The lining, the golden "Paislee" on the back lets our customers know we spared no expense to deliver one of the freshest hats around. Also we really strive to be different, in this day and age the imitators come fast and furious so we constantly push the envelope with our acrylic. But we keep it clean because you still want people to wear them.
MD: Why are your prices high?
PH: Supply and demand. No just kidding, I think our product is modestly priced for what you receive, a unique hat, assembled in New York City by hand that is instantly an attention grabber the second you enter a room.
MD: What's the ultimate goal of your brand?
PH: Honestly the ultimate goal was achieved already, we just wanted to influence the culture. And we did just that with clients as notable as Jay-Z, Lebron James, Swizz Beats, Alicia Keys, Rick Ross, and boutiques carrying us as far away as Australia we've made an impact, now we just have continue to innovate.
MD: What pieces have gotten the most love/ hate?
PH: Depends on whom you ask? The "yen dollar pound" is our top seller, but no matter what the hat says it definitely evokes a response from on lookers. The high fashion types prefer "PARIS" or "MERCY"; the adventurous types like the ones that are a little more profane like "FUCK". We feel like there is a Paislee hat for everyone and if there isn't, just wait.
MD: What's Next?
PH: Got some collaborations coming up of course I can't say with whom just yet, the lawyers don't like it when we leak stuff. Apparel is definitely on deck, you can expect t-shirts this spring summer as well as socks. But really we just want to keep having fun manifesting this dream.

Chapter 4 7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.8 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:9 Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,10 And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such a time.11 This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.12 Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.13 Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.14 Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;15 That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.16 We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.17 Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.18 The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.19 And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.20 There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.21 Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?23 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Chapter 5 1 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.

The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium gives schools additional funding to support year 7 pupils who did not achieve the expected standard in reading or maths at the end of Key Stage 2.
- What is the Catch-Up Premium funding?
- How can I know how much my school has been allocated?
- How is the funding spent?
- How will the impact of this intervention be measured?
- Will you be informed if your child is identified as being eligible for the catch-up premium?
- Where can I find further information?
Catch-up at DHFS overview
The students who come to Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School below the expected level for reading and/or mathematics follow a weekly intervention programme. They are removed from selected lessons, for high quality focused support in reading and/or mathematics for 2 hours per week. This support is personalised and delivered in very small groups. The progress of students is analysed by their progress in their maths and English lessons. The staff who deliver the lessons liaise closely with the English and maths staff and when the students have are securely caught up they no longer attend the intervention sessions. Intervention is also delivered to students in Year 8 and Year 9 where appropriate. This is coordinated through close liaison between maths, English and Learning Support.
Outcomes from 2015-16
On average students increased their reading age by 20 months (in 10 months), and their maths level by 2.68 levels. This was an excellent outcome for the students concerned.
Where progress was more limited, the students still receive intervention in Year 8 and will do in Year 9 if appropriate. It is our intention to help these students to continue to make as much progress as possible with these core skills.
Catch-up Premium Update November 2017
|Literacy Progress Sept-July 2017

- Download the Catch-Up Premium Funding report for Curriculum Governors - November 2017 (.pdf | 514kb)
What is the Catch-Up Premium funding?
Prior to the removal of national curriculum levels (September 2015) the Government allocated £500 per pupil to those pupils arriving in Year 7 who did not achieve Level 4 in reading and / or mathematics. Since then the same amount of funding has come into schools each year to tackle the issue of Year 7 students not reaching the required standard in reading or maths. The actual results from the secondary ready test show that 23% of students were not 'secondary ready' equating to approximately 70 students. The decision was taken to provide support for as many as possible whilst not diluting the support.
How can I know how much my school has been allocated?
In 2015-16, there were 24 Year 7 pupils eligible for the funding which resulted in a budget of £12,000. This figure has been matched in recent years.
How is the funding spent?
Literacy and maths are taught to small groups of students from Year 7 who are withdrawn from mainstream lessons for 2 hours a week. The students are withdrawn from drama and / or RE. Support is also offered to Year 8 and Year 9 students who still struggle with literacy and maths. Overall approximately 70 students across Key Stage 3 receive support.
How will the impact of this intervention be measured?
Progress in literacy is delivered through LEXIA and tracked in detail by Learning Support staff and then tested using NFER tests (September and July).
Progress in maths is tracked by the class teacher and by the intervention teacher. Progress is measured by performance in whole school exams in February and July.
Will you be informed if your child is identified as being eligible for the catch-up premium?
All parents are informed in writing and receive details of the intervention that their child will receive.
Where can I find further information?

There was a moment in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" - only one, and a brief one, but a genuine one - when I felt the promise of awe. The Starship Enterprise was indeed going where no man had gone before, through the fabled Great Barrier, which represents the end of the finite universe. What would lie beyond? Would it be an endless void, or a black hole, or some kind of singularity of space and time that would turn the voyagers inside out and deposit them in another universe? Or would the Barrier even reveal, as one of the characters believes, the place where life began? The place called by the name of Eden and countless other words? As the Enterprise approached the Barrier, I found my attention gathering. The movie had been slow and boring until then, with an interminable, utterly inconsequential first act and a plot that seemed to exist in a space-time singularity all its own. But now, at last, the fifth "Star Trek" movie seemed to be remembering what was best about the fictional world of "Star Trek": those moments when man and his ideas are challenged by the limitless possibilities of creation.
As I've said, my awe was real. It was also brief. Once the Enterprise crew members (and the Vulcan who was holding them hostage) landed on the world beyond the Barrier, the possibilities of god or Eden or whatever quickly disintegrated into an anticlimactic special effects show with a touch of "The Wizard of Oz" thrown in for good measure. I do not want to give away important elements in the plot, but after you've seen the movie, ask yourself these questions: 1) How was it known that the voyagers would go beyond the Barrier; 2) what was the motivation behind what they found there; 3) how was it known that they would come to stand at exactly the point where the stone pillars came up from the Earth; 4) In a version of a question asked by Capt. Kirk, why would any entity capable of staging such a show need its own starship; and 5) is the Great Barrier indeed real, or simply a deceptive stage setting for what was found behind it? (What I'm really complaining about, I think, is that "Star Trek V" allows itself enormous latitude in the logic beneath its plot. If the Barrier is real, what exactly are we to make of the use to which it is put?) Before we get to ask those questions, "Star Trek V" spends much of its time meandering through some of the goofiest scenes in the entire series. The movie opens with the taking of three hostages on a desert planet, who have been captured for the sole purpose of luring Capt. Kirk and his starship to the planet so that the ship can be commandeered for the voyage through the Barrier. I have explained these plot details in one sentence. The movie takes endless scenes, during which the key crew members of the Enterprise need to be summoned back to their ship in the middle of a shore leave. And that process, in turn, requires interminable scenes of Kirk, Spock and Bones on a camping trip in Yosemite, during which they attempt to sing "Row, row, row your boat" and nearly succeed in sinking the entire movie. If there is a sillier and more awkwardly written scene in the entire "Star Trek" saga than this one, I've missed it.
After the pointless opening scenes, the movie begins to develop a plot of sorts, but it is so confused and inadequately explained that there are times when we simply give up and wait for what's next. That was particularly the case during the inexplicable closing scenes, where the humans and the Klingons seem to join sides after an off-camera speech by a former Klingon leader who had been put out to pasture. Since this leader is identified as having been badly treated by the Klingons in his retirement, how did he suddenly regain the authority to negotiate a truce? And do we really want to see the mighty Klingons reduced to the status of guests at a cocktail party? One of the trademarks of the "Star Trek" saga has been the way the supporting characters are kept alive in little subplots. In "Star Trek V," the Enterprise starts its voyage while the shop is suffering a series of mechanical failures, and that involves countless brief scenes in which Scotty, the chief engineer, emerges from beneath a piece of equipment, brandishes his wrench and says he'll have things fixed in a moment. Two or three of these scenes might have been enough.
Another irritation is the way in which we meet apparently major characters, including those played by David Warner, Laurence Luckinbill and Cynthia Gouw, who are introduced with fanfares of dialogue and then never developed or given anything to do. The entire movie seems crowded with loose ends, overlooked developments and forgotten characters, and there are little snatches of dialogue where some of these minor characters seem to be soldiering on in their original subplots as if unaware that they've been cut from the movie.
"Star Trek V" is pretty much of a mess - a movie that betrays all the signs of having gone into production at a point where the script doctoring should have begun in earnest. There is no clear line from the beginning of the movie to the end, not much danger, no characters to really care about, little suspense, uninteresting or incomprehensible villains, and a great deal of small talk and pointless dead ends. Of all of the "Star Trek" movies, this is the worst.
