The revised EYFS framework was published this week, the existing framework, EYFS 2008, remains in place until the end of August, the new framework called EYFS 2012 will be mandated from the 1st September. The revised framework aims to reduce bureaucracy and simplify learning and development requirements, reducing the early learning goals from 69 to 17. The framework concentrates on the three areas of learning deemed the most important:-
- Communication and language
- Physical
- Personal, social and emotional development
In addition to these 'Prime Areas' there are also four futher 'Specific Areas':-
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
At ToucanLearn we will revise our system to tie in with EYFS 2012, ready for launch on 1st September. At the same time we will launch some new features to offer new tools to help childcarers implement the EYFS. We're excited about these changes, while we always felt that the EYFS offered a great platform for early learning, we also think that these revisions help to focus on the important parts of learning and will help those who might have struggled with the breadth of coverage of EYFS 2008. We will write more about the revised EYFS framework over the next few months, and keep you informaed of changes coming toToucanLearn.

Jumping Jacks!

Jumping Games are fun and a great way of doing some exercise, here are some jumping games for you to play with your little ones...
- Think about your landing: knees bent, arms forward, toes then flat foot.
- Jump on the spot and them move around the room. How does it feel different?
- Run and jump - is it easy or hard?
- Jump over - some cushions or a brave Teddy!
- Jump over a moving object - how about a swirling rope or a path or a brook if you have one nearby!
- Jump like animals that the children suggest. If they suggest animals that not everyone knows about, look them up on line and find them!
- What does jumping do to our bodies? Heart beat faster, legs ache (a bit!), arms swing, feet make a noise on the floor as we land etc.
- Hang some ribbons or balloons from a height just above the children's reach (on a washing line perhaps!) and see if they can bat the balloons. Or, hang bells or shakers that will make a noise when batted.
- How many an the children reach? Count the number of noises you hear for each child.
- Follow my Jumper - one person leads and jumps in different ways as all the children behind have to follow.
Have fun!

It has been found that children today are more likely to be able to use a mouse to play a game on a computer, than tie their shoe laces or ride a bike.
While it seems a shame that so many can't or won't ride a bike, is it really their fault? After all, it the parents who put them in front of the computer and are pleased when they learn to use it. It's the parents who use their iPhone in front of the children or encourage them to play a game to 'keep them quiet' and it's the parents again who are not helping them tie shoe laces by providing them with velcro fastening shoes! But, as long as parents try to show and teach a balanced way of life (a bit of TV and a bit of swimming; a game on the computer then a nice blowy walk) then it's great that our children are being exposed to such brilliant and creative technology that computers provide.
The research published information that suggested 70% of children aged 2-5 can play computer games but that only 20% of them could swim on their own. Well, to be honest, the stats may sound threatening, but swimming unaided is actually a great deal more tricky to master at 5 than using a computer which is, after all, very simple to use, and the type of games the children play are specifically designed for children... It's not rocket science to suggest this might be the case!
S0me people suggest that in this digital age, children's skills are being measured by their ability on a computer. It says that parents are too busy or too lazy to help their children learn practical and physical skills. This is rather harsh. The fact remains that we do live in a digital world. It's not negotiable. We have to embrace the digital age or we simply won't be able to function! What we need to do is teach them all the traditional values and skills in addition to all the new-fangled ones. Then we will develop balanced and well rounded young people who don't sit in front of the TV all day, but who can ride bikes, swim but also use a computer.
Baby's Building Blocks
Sign up FREE to ToucanLearn to receive hundreds of activities, games and craft for preschool children! Find out more...
Building blocks are a timeless toy and a set of soft blocks made from material, or even knitted from wool, will bring your baby loads of enjoyment in their first few years. An early game to play with babies is to stack up toys near them and encourage your baby to knock them down. Clap and cheer when your baby achieves this and they will quickly associate their actions with your praise and this will encourage them to knock down your towers.
Blocks usually come in bright colours and often have pictures, letters or numbers on their faces. This early exposure to colours and patterns will help them to distinguish between colours and to recognise the different shapes later on. When they are able to grasp blocks for themselves, your little one will delight in trying to build their own towers and knocking them down themselves. All of this helps to refine their motor skills and to understand how objects interact with one another and how they act when knocked over.
As your children grow older, plain blocks can be change for construction blocks such as Duplo, Lego or Megablocks. These appeal both to boys and girls and will last an entire childhood, teaching children how to construct models and giving them a great understanding of the physical world.
Let's Get Physical!

In this cold weather it's understandable that parents don't want to ge too far from the warmth and comfort of home, but don't think this means you have to stay inactive. It is important that little ones do keep active because its only when they use their bodies to the limit that they begin to understand what they can do by themselves and how to mange their own bodies. The more practice they get the better they will be, not to mention safer when they are playing and better co-ordinated in general.
There are lots of physical activities you can do at home as long as you clear a bit of space. Here are a few ideas - but do supervise as some of the activites are a bit adventurous!!
- Let's Go To Bed. Clear a double bed of its covers, and have a bit of fun bouncing and rolling around on it. Try head-over-heels in the middle of the bed. Get your little one to stand with wide open legs and see if they can look through the middle, going upside down! Try moving round the bed by bouncing on their bottom; or just try walking without falling over! Make sure you explain that this is a special treat and shouldn't be done when you're not around... but have some fun!
- Lets Go For A walk. Go for a walk around the house and follow any lines you have on your carpet. Or throw a skipping rope or some string on the floor and try to tight-rope walk around the place for a while. Try following the rope while crawling or being an animal!
- Ball games. Try rolling a blown up beach ball to each other, or kicking it back and forth. Try using your head too! The beach ball is lovely and soft and light, so its a good one for indoor use. Just make sure all valuables are hidden away!
- Fetch. Throw a little toy into the room and run to get it. Try it as a race! Try the game on stairs if you have some. Throw the small toy up the stairs and you both try and climb to that step to retrive the toy. Make sure with very little ones you remember to teach them to trun round on the stairs safely and come down carefully.
- Jumping Jacks. Try doing some different jumps together. Jump over cushions or toys. Jump in time with music or while singing nursery rhymes.
Have a safe, fun time!

Winx Club - Episode 419
this wiki
A pinch of Fairy Dust will do it!
|This Episodes Article is a B! This article is on its way to completion, but does need some minor changes.
In Diana's Kingdom is the nineteenth episode of the fourth season of Winx Club.
After Diana's attack on Gardenia, the Winx travel to the Amazon to find her, and rescue the kidnapped Specialists.
PlotThe Winx, Nabu and Roxy are talking to Faragonda about Diana's kingdom, and ask her what she means about having to go beyond Believix. Faragonda says that she will leave it to someone else to explain, and three mysterious fairies appear. They explain that they are the Ethereal Fairies, and tell them about the Gifts of Destiny, which will make their Believix powers much more powerful.
The first gift the Winx will receive is Sophix, the gift of wisdom, which they need to take on Diana. The second gift is Lovix, an ice and snow transformation for Aurora, the Major Fairy of the North. And the last is an object that could bring someone back to life. The fairies each receive their gifts, except Roxy. The Winx and Nabu decide to travel to Diana's kingdom, while telling Roxy to stay behind to watch the pets since she doesn't have her full Believix powers. The Winx use the Zoomix wings to teleport to the Amazon Rainforest. They start searching for Diana, using the Tracix wings to confirm that they are headed in the right direction.Stella doesn't feel like walking, so she transforms and flies into a tree, where she spots Diana's temple in the distance. Some Amazon fairies appear, and go after the Winx, sensing their magical power. Nabu convinces the Winx to distract the amazon fairies, while he goes to investigate the castle. The Winx manage to throw the amazon fairies off their trail by returning to their civilian forms. Flora discovers an area where trees have been cut down, and collapses. Bloom heals Flora, which the people who cut down the trees notice and accuse the Winx of being the Amazon fairies who chased them away. The Amazon fairies show up and begin trapping the people who cut down the trees, the Winx transform into their new Sophix forms and use their nature powers to trap the Amazon fairies and make the people who were cutting down the trees see the beauty of nature and believe in magic.
Seeing this, the Amazon fairies are not sure what to believe, as Diana had told them they were enemies. Bloom, Tecna and Stella decide to go search for the source of Diana's power, while Aisha, Musa and Flora decide to catch up to Nabu.Bloom, Stella and Tecna are guided by the forest itself, which leads them to the sacred bud, the source of Diana and the rainforest's magic. The three meet up with some natives to the area, who witnessed them using their Sophix powers to connect with nature earlier, and are grateful to have their help. Meanwhile, Aisha, Musa and Flora are searching for the Specialists, and manage to find them chained up in one of the rooms. Aisha uses her magic to release them, while Musa talks to Riven, telling him that she has not really figured things out when it comes to their relationship. However, Aisha is more concerned about Nabu, and asks the other Specialists if they know where he is, as he had come to rescue them earlier. Suddenly, one of Diana's amazon fairies appear, and uses her magic to chain her, Musa and Flora to the wall, while knocking out the other Specialists with magical flower pollen. The Amazon fairies then reveal that they have captured Nabu.

E's Eberron Campaign, Session 2: 11/3/09
I had a plan. It was a great plan. It involved the most ingenious way to introduce our 5th PC into the party. Ask Dante from StupidRanger - it's just super awesome. I spent all week planning it and putting all the details into my secret GM-only area of Obsidian Portal.
Then Tuesday morning rolled around and my 5th player contacted me to say he was really sick and wouldn't be able to make it. And of course, I hadn't given any thought to what would happen without him.
So there I was, the very day of the game and now I had no plans. I can't run what I planned on running because the plot depended on the 5th PC being there. It wasn't as easy as just modding encounters – it was a roleplay-heavy session that just flat-out wouldn't WORK without the 5th PC there.
Since the original four PCs were all going to attend and I had left them at the Ghallanda enclave, where they were supposed to be laying low and avoiding notice by the forces that had imprisoned them, I needed some sort of quest they could do in or near the enclave.
Why not a mini dungeon delve?
But wait… let's back up…
I wanted to hear from my PCs what they were thinking while in the Ghallanda enclave that first night, immediately after their rescue.
On our campaign forum (yet another reason I love Obsidian Portal!), I posted an opportunity for bonus XP (25) for a short blurb about what their character was thinking about that night. Here's what they said:
Jelly, Half-Elf Cleric:
Why on earth would they have put me in such a high-security prison… slated to be executed??? As far as I know, I was just rounded up accidentally with nuisance rabble during a riot. Did they mistake me for someone else entirely? Some sort of ringleader? Did my paperwork get mixed up with some hardened criminal?
Why was I grouped with these other particular prisoners – and, moving on to subsequent events, why did someone think it important enough that we should all be rescued? Are we to undertake some sort of Very Important Mission? It seems that whoever got us out of there already has some pretty competent people at their disposal (Jes and – dang, what was that wunderkind pilot's name? M-something-short?)
Well, I'm REALLY glad we were rescued. That cell was pretty bleak, and sealed up tighter than a duck's ass. While I'm all up for a touch of danger in my life, being executed for crimes unknown was not the way I planned to go out! I'm a little worried we may have gotten out of the frying pan and into the fire – although I'm not sure there's much worse than execution for no good reason. Well, okay, there's definitely worse ways to go, but that's one's right down there.
All of us certainly owe our mysterious rescuer/s something – I hope it's not a debt I'm going to have a problem repaying. It would suck to feel forced or blackmailed to do something that goes completely against my nature. I hope we don't end up getting tangled up in politics that might make me enemies for life. Then again, thinking back to that jail cell, maybe I've already made some enemies for life – I just don't know who or why!
Beatdown Machine, Warforged Fighter (aka DaveTheGame):
Beatdown Machine War Journal, Entry #1.0 Post-Awakening
Current status: Preparing for Unsleeping Watcher state in the special House Ghallanda Warforged privacy suite (known to meat-creatures as "the closet.") Body has been repaired sufficiently by the squishy creature identified as "Jelly." Once fought beside a Warforged with the designation Jelly, but that was only after being exposed to a battalion of flame-sorcerers.
I defeated 1 Chain Golem*, 8 guards, and 5 flyers. I could have defeated, if I had so chosen: 4 airship sailors, 1 airship captain, 1 wizardess designated Jes, 1 electric flesh-thing designated as Cyd, 1 semi-competent warrior designated Evan. Note to self: get extra crossbows installed at first opportunity.
Percentage chance for battle while with this group remains high, so I will continue to travel with them for now, confidant that I could destroy them if I chose. However, if the term "rusty" continues to be thrown around, I may have to sever limbs, as is proper procedure.
Must remember to follow-up Re: Last War ending.
End War Journal Entry.
*indicates something that I had not previously defeated.
Evan Macdowell, Human Rogue
Evan Macdowell's Journal:
- I owe a favour to this Jes and her employer. The first job will be on the house.
- Why this group? Isn't it too much of a coincidence that we were all to be put to death for an unknown reason by an unknown group? And on top of that, we were all housed in the same jailblock? Like we were being corralled together for a reason? Makes you wonder. I have to keep my eyes open. There is a small, though non-zero, chance of this Jes and her employer being our enemies. I should have time to investigate. They obviously need us for something.
- I don't know what to make of this "Jes". She can seemingly teleport at will, or at least that's the hypothesis since she got through my, and presumably the other's, magic cell barriers with that method. I should make note of her relationship with that Half-Elven airship captain. Might be useful information in the future.
- On "Jelly" and that quiet wizard "Cyd", They seem mostly harmless, at least toward myself. I shouldn't have to worry too much about them. Cyd looks like he has enough problems on his own, and Jelly seems kind of carefree.
- That Warforged, on the other hand, might be another story. I should keep my eye on him(it?). I have a bad feeling about him. Though, that just might be my unease about Warforged in general.
- What's happened in the last 3-4 days? I wonder if our incarceration was to keep us from being involved in something during that timeframe. Why else keep us out all that time? Though, that might either have been a side effect of whatever drug or magic we were under, or it was the time to transport us from whatever town we were in to that prison complex. Still, the time period is quite suspicious. I shall inquire about this with the mysterious "employer".
- As soon as their jobs run out, I will need to find out about this sorceress with my mother's name. It can't be her, but I need to be sure.
Cyd, the Genasi(?) Wizard did not opt to complete the optional XP for session 1. I leave it as an option so people don't necessarily HAVE to do it if they don't have time or any other reason.
The party awakens in the Ghallanda enclave…
The party meets with Jes at breakfast at Three Times Round, the Ghallanda enclave. The dog's head crest of Ghallanda hangs on the wall. It's a large, underground building, but the magical lighting is so effective that it's as light and bright as any inn on the surface.
Lady Rose bustles around the tables and in and out of the kitchen, bringing plates of hot goose eggs and boar bacon to the tables and filling your glasses with fresh blended mango juice. A basket of fruits is in the center of the table and a loaf of freshly baked bread sits next to small bowls of preserves and butter.
Rose giggles at the fact that the party seems unaware of the fact that they're in Xen'drik and then hints to Jelly that she's never "had one" of a man quite like Cyd. She seems friendly… very friendly.
Jes explains that the party needs to lay low for a week or two, just to throw off the investigators who are trying to find them and return them to the jail. Ren made it look like the airship was headed for Stormreach and made a turn after losing the flying archers, so hopefully they shook their captors, but you can never be too sure. In the meantime, the fine folks who run Three Times Round could use some help.
Kaleb explains that there's a cavern about a half day's walk to the west that they know contains Khyber dragonshards. Since dragonshards are worth a bit of money, he'd appreciate the party going there and bringing them back. Jes volunteered the party's services since it will be a dangerous mission and since Beatdown seems so keen on killing things, it only seems right to "feed" him what he wants.
Kaleb offers the party a Bag of Holding and says they can keep the bag and anything they find other than the Khyber shards.
Garrett will come with the party, but only to the cave's entrance. Since he's afraid of kobolds (and is VERY unhappy about his father spilling the beans to everyone), he won't go into the cave. He knows the jungle well enough to keep the party from succumbing to the traveler's curse. He'll await their return to the surface, scout out a safe place to spend the night, and lead them back to the enclave the next day.
At the mouth of the cave, there are two black kobolds. After being shot at by the sniper rogue and the wizard, they run back into the cave and the party runs into follow them before they summon reinforcements. Two additional sentries arrive as well as a chief with a feather hat.
Beatdown finds himself surrounded by kobolds, utters his new catchphrase, "You have now entered Cleave-land!" and gets bloodied nearly every round (a consequence of being the only melee character – we have a wizard, a laser cleric and a sniper rogue. Thankfully our 5th PC is a barbarian, so Beatdown will be slightly less beat-up in the future!).
But the PCs persevere and defeat the kobolds. Beatdown steals the feather hat and puts it on, looking quite ridiculous.
After a short rest, they press deeper into the cavern and enter the second room. Evan the rogue notices tiny holes in the walls and has a very bad feeling that they may be part of a trap. However, he can' t seem to find a way to disable it. It's a poison dart trap and it shoots from both walls once per round. Luckily the PCs take advantage of the stone columns in the room, using them as shields against the darts. (Beatdown even chooses to fall prone after one attack to avoid being shot by the darts… again.)
We have a pretty impressive sniper rogue. He can pretty much be across the universe and still shoot things with his crossbow. Jelly is constantly cheerful, but a little wary about getting too close to the action. She comments about how the encounter reminds her of the "good ol' days" adventuring with her parents.
Another short rest and the party presses still deeper into the cavern where they come to a room with bones on the floor. Evan sneaks in, but isn't quite sneaky enough. Vile necrotic energy blasts him and he's firmly rooted to the ground as a dracolich emerges from the corner.
The bad news: It's a Stoneborn Dracolich.
The good news: It doesn't appear to be feeling well. (Well, as much as an undead creature can feel "well.")
I ran the level 11 dracolich with 1/2 hit points, minus 2 to all defenses, and weakened (1/2 damage). It appears he'd seen much better days. (Yes, I know that there are apparently better ways to nerf a monster. I'm a n00b, so cut me some slack while I'm learnin', k?)
Immobilizing the rogue was fun!! I finally got to do stuff to him! Mwah ha ha! Even when the wizard cast his circle of dazed crappiness, the dracolich wasn't that bothered. He could still breathe on everyone and do his reaction bone shards attack and bite the warforged.
Jelly experimented with her Guardian of Faith, which she hadn't yet summoned until that encounter. What mini was handy? Doctor Who. Yeah, seriously, DaveTheGame uses a Doctor Who mini for his character in Bartoneus' game, so it was just hanging around within reach. Doctor Who wasn't particularly effective in hitting the dracolich, but it was amusing having him in the battle!
The party finally defeats the dracolich and in the pile of bones in the corner of the lair, they find 5 small Khyber shards and one large one. In the pockets of some abandoned armor, they find coin purses with a total of 300 gp. (Shush, I'm a fan of round numbers.)
They return to the cave entrance and find Garrett has uncovered a secret chamber near the mouth of the cave where the kobolds once slept. It's not the most hospitable place, but it's a safe place to rest for the night. While Garrett isn't looking, Jelly and Evan find two Siberys shards and decide that since they aren't Khyber shards, it's only fair that they keep them.
The next morning, they walk back to Three Times Round. Seeing the entrance by daylight is very interesting. It's so well hidden in the thick jungle that they didn't even notice the door until Garrett points it out.
Garrett swings open the door and they walk down the entrance hall, past the enclave guards, and into the tavern area. Kaleb looks pleased to see them and rushes forward to thank them for a job well done. He brings them to the bar just as they are raising mugs of drinks to celebrate, Violet d'Ghallanda runs into the room screaming. "MURDER!! THERE'S BEEN A MURDER!"
…next session will be 11/17/09.

Racing Action
John Player Team Senna
Nigel Roebuck
Away from a race track, Ayrton is a different man. Not that he ever stops thinking about racing,
understand, just that a sense of humour emerges. The normal human being behind the racing driver. Prost believes that his driving improved immeasurably when he managed to bring other things into his life, put cars from his mind for a while. If Senna ever manages to do that, the rest are in for a very thin time.
Elio de Angelis could see, by the beginning of the 1985 season that John Player Special Team Senna was taking shape, but initially he responded to this new challenge far more effectively than I expected. To qualify ahead of Ayrton at Rio was, in itself, a remarkable achievement and a big psychological point. And through the first half of the season he kept in reasonable touch with his new hot-shoe team mate, where one might have expected him to wilt. At Montreal, indeed, he even beat Senna to the pole.
Eventually during the later races, though, he did become demoralised and the gap between them widened. Elio was clearly not enjoying his motor racing very much by this stage. He said: "I know now how Mansell felt last year" — and it was no surprise when he finally sought new employment, after six years.
De Angelis is a beautiful stylist in a racecar, and very, very, quick when all is right. I still believe he has talent to throw away, and that he makes full use of it only occasionally. He is not at his best in a battle — I would have bet my house on Johansson passing him on the last lap at Ricard — but I still see him as a man who, in the right circumstances, could win races going away. His only victory in 1985, at Imola, was inherited after Prost had been disqualified. With fluctuating boost he drove a cautious race, and so his fuel lasted and he made the finish. If Gordon Murray's radical BT55 is up to snuff, envisage a lot of success for Elio.
Three wins for lotus, and their best season since 1978. Ducarouge's 97T, a further refinement of his very fleet 95T, invariably handled beautifully, but Renault unreliability let it down frequently. There could, and should, have been more victories, however. I agree with Peter Warr's sentiments, expressed after Imola, that Formula I and fuel economy are strange and unnatural bedfellows, but as Jimmy Durante used to say, "Dese are de conditions dat prevail." And in the circumstances,
was extraordinary that Lotus drivers had neither fuel monitor nor radio link to the pits available until well past half-season.

What Are The Three Deadly Viruses
We live in virus ridden times where we are surrounded by viruses causing the annoying yet non-fatal common cold, chicken pox to more fatal ones like HIV, Ebola and now ZIKA. Viruses raise their head when our immune system is weak; today stress, pollution and adulterated food have contributed to our weakened immunity, making us more susceptible than ever before, to a host of diseases.
Ebola virus is by far one of the deadliest viruses' known to mankind with a mortality rate of 90%. The first outbreak was reported in the African Continent but thanks to a global world there are cases all over the world now. Ebola virus was first contracted from an infected monkey. An infected person can transmit the disease to others via blood, contaminated needles and through bodily fluids. It is characterized by muscle pain, headache, intense weakness, vomiting and in severe cases internal bleeding too. There is no treatment for the virus yet.
AIDS still remains one of the most feared diseases that man can encounter. As is common knowledge the HIV is spread by contact with contaminated blood, semen and vaginal fluids. As of 2015 there are 36.9 million people who are HIV infected.
Finally, the latest is Zika Virus; once again it has its origins in Africa. An infected Aedes mosquito plays the villain here when it bites people and transmits the virus. Human to human transmission is also possible though sexual activity. This disease is symptomized by muscle pain, joint weakness, headache, fever, skin rash and conjunctivitis. Though Zika by itself doesn't cause death, it does causes fetal brain damage. Hence pregnant mothers should take precautions to protect their unborn children.Once again there is no vaccine.
It is in our hands to maintain a healthy body and healthy mind and guard ourselves from the rampant viruses around.

What changes will make the 2018 Audi Q3 different?
Everything. A restyled body on a new platform, revised powertrains, and updated safety and convenience features mark the debut of an all-new Q3. Launching the second-generation of this premium subcompact crossover, the '18 Q3 will be roomier, better performing, and more fuel efficient than its predecessor.
The outgoing Q3 is the oldest vehicle in Audi's lineup, having gone on sale in Europe for model-year 2011 and coming to America for model-year '14. The redesigned 2018 Q3 will adopt the critically acclaimed "MQB" architecture that underpins several models from parent-company Volkswagen, including the latest Golf family of compact cars, the redesigned 2018 Tiguan compact crossover, and Audi's own A3 subcompact car. The Q3 will again slot into Audi's lineup below the compact-class Q5 crossover, although some reports say the automaker is considering filling even that gap with a sporty, coupe-like crossover tentatively called the Q4.
The Q3's competitive set isn't enormous but it is interesting. It reveals premium brands in pursuit of buyers who want prestige badges but not large, expensive SUVs. Indeed, every entry in the class represents its maker's smallest crossover and in some cases, its least expensive vehicle. Q3's direct rivals are the BMW X1, Lexus NX, Volvo XC40, and the Infiniti QX30 and its mechanically similar crossover from Mercedes-Benz, the GLA. The NX is the volume leader but none is a big seller, with the first-generation Q3 languishing near the bottom.
Why should I wait for the 2018?
To see how the all-new Q3 stacks up against its rivals and whether it suits you better than the original. Compared with the outgoing model, the redesigned Q3 will be about 2 inches longer overall and in wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear axles), as well as about 2 inches wider. That should translate to a more comfortable ride, more stable handling, and increased passenger and cargo volume. The MQB platform also accommodates conventional hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems, but don't expect such variants until at least 2019.
All 2018 Q3s will retain a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, though it'll be a newer design than the outgoing one. Front-wheel drive will remain standard, with Audi's excellent quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) system optional. Expect a repeat of the 2017 three-tier lineup consisting of base Premium, volume-selling Premium Plus, and flagship Prestige models.
Should I buy a 2017 model instead?
It's worth considering, if you can get a great price as dealers begin to clear inventories ahead of the '18's arrival. Base prices start at $32,750 and top out at $42,250 for the AWD Prestige. The '17 Q3 is a pleasant, refined small crossover with arguably the most upscale interior décor in the class. That cabin isn't very big, though; VW's Golf hatchback has more passenger space and cargo volume. At 23 mpg city-highway combined with both front-drive and AWD, fuel economy is at the back of the premium compact-crossover pack. And more modern entries from BMW and Lexus ride and handle better.
Will the styling be different?
Yes, but not dramatically. Expect the new Q3 to adopt the design language of other recently introduced Audis, including the Q5 and A4 sedan, bringing more sharply cut lines and a more angular grille. Full LED exterior lighting should be standard across the board.
The interior is where you'll see the lion's share of updates. The outgoing model's somewhat scattershot arrangement of controls will be revamped in favor of the slicker, more ergonomic layout of the A4 and Q5. Expect Audi's virtual cockpit instrument display to be available on the Prestige. It replaces a traditional gauge cluster with a 12.3-inch LCD display that can be driver-configured to show a variety of driving data. On paper, it's an interesting piece of "gee-whiz" technology. In practice, though, it comes off as more of a gimmick, and we worry about what could happen in the event that the display suffers a catastrophic failure. One thing that shouldn't change is the quality of interior materials. Despite Q3 being one of Audi's entry-level models, its generous application of textured, soft-touch plastics would feel right at home in a vehicle costing twice as much.
The redesigned Q3's extra length and width should translate into much improved passenger and cargo room. The back seat in the outgoing model is rather tight, even for average-size adults. While it likely won't match the class-leading X1 for overall cargo capacity, expect the new Q3 to improve on the old models' rather modest 48.2 cubic feet of space with the rear seatbacks folded.
Any mechanical changes?
Yes. Replacing a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque would be the turbo 2.0-liter four from Audi's A3 subcompact car. Expect about 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Combined with the redesigned 2018 Q3's lighter curb weight, acceleration should easily beat the outgoing model's middling 0-60-mph times of 7.8 seconds with front-drive and 8.2 with AWD. And if our experience with a variety of other VW and Audi vehicles on the MQB platform, overall road manners are almost certain to improve, as well.
Replacing a six-speed automatic as the sole transmission would likely be a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Front-wheel drive would return as standard, with AWD again a highly recommend option, at around $2,100. Audi's quattro system isn't intended for off-road use but does provide a noticeable improvement in both dry- and wet-road handling.
Will fuel economy improve?
Undoubtedly. Despite being one of the smaller entries in the competitive set, the outgoing Q3 is the least fuel efficient. Even with additional power, the '18 Q3 should exceed its EPA ratings. Expect something like 22/31/25 mpg city/highway/combined for both front- and all-wheel drive. Also expect Audi to continue to recommend, though not require, premium-grade 91-octane gasoline for the Q3.
Will it have new features?
Yes. Audi will bring the redesigned Q3 fully up to date in terms of luxury, convenience, and, most important, safety features. The outgoing model lacks both the active and passive driver aids that are either standard or optional on all rivals. While it scored well in crash tests done by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, earning top "Good" marks across the board, the '17 Q3 is not eligible for the coveted Top Safety Pick award because is isn't available with autonomous emergency braking, automatic steering correction, radar cruise control, or forward-collision warning. Expect Audi to rectify this on the '18 – and we hope it'll make them available – or standard – on all models, not just the costliest.
Expect the brand's cabin-décor superiority to continue, with all '18 Q3s including leather upholstery and 12-way power front seats. Almost certain to be available for the first time will be the stunning Audi virtual cockpit, a 12.3-inch hi-def display the projects in the main instrument pod detailed navigation mapping and a host of other vehicle and infotainment data. Also aboard for '18 will be a programmable power liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, front- and rear-obstacle detection, rain-sensing windshield wipers, ambient LED interior lighting, and a panoramic moonroof.
Expect the '18 Premium Plus to again add power-folding exterior mirrors and keyless access with pushbutton ignition. Prestige versions would have Audi connect infotainment with support for Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto; in-dash GPS navigation with Google Maps; blind-spot alert, and a Bose-brand audio system.
How will 2018 prices be different?
They'll likely rise, but what pricing strategy Audi will follow only its bean counters know. The automaker stands to reduce the cost of Q3 production because assembly of the redesigned model will move from Europe to the automaker's plant in Mexico. Will it pass the savings along by holding price increases to a minimum? That would surely be a compelling competitive move. Or will it pocket the savings and boost profitability by increasing prices?
As a baseline, here are the starting prices for the 2017 Q3 line, including Audi's $950 destination fee: with front-wheel drive, the Premium model begins at $32,750, the Premium Plus starts at $35,450, and the Prestige at $40,150. Quattro adds another $2,100 to all.
Audi could expand standard features on the '18, making keyless entry with pushbutton ignition standard across the board rather than charging Premium-trim buyers $850 for it. As another baseline, this time for an idea of options prices, are a selection of the 2017 extra-cost features. On the Premium model, $500 for heated front seats and $2,100 for GPS navigation with Audi's MMI control interface. The navigation system costs $2,600 on the Premium Plus but includes blind-spot alert as well (Audi could make it standard on the '18).
The Premium Plus's $550 Sport Interior Package adds sport bucket seats, driver adjustable suspension and throttle settings, a black cloth headliner, and steering-wheel paddle shifters. The Prestige's standard 19-inch wheels are available as an $800 standalone option on the Premium Plus. And $350 replaces the Premium Plus' standard aluminum interior trim with woodgrain.
The items in the Premium Plus' Sport Interior Package are also available on the Prestige, along with piano-black interior trim and unique wheels as part of a $950 Sport Plus Package. For 2018, the virtual cockpit and other high-tech goodies would probably be bundled into some kind of Technology Package for the Prestige that could cost anywhere from $2,000-$4,000. On all models, paint colors other than black or white are $575; for $3,900, you can ask Audi to match a Q3 to any color you choose (within reason).
Even at these prices, it might be a bit difficult to make a compelling case for the Q3. That's because for similar money or not much more, you can get into a larger, more powerful compact-class premium crossover, such as the Acura RDX.
When will it come out?
Expect a fall 2017 release date for the 2018 Audi Q3.

BMW X1, Infiniti QX30, Lexus NX, Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class
What change would make it better?
Q3's redesign should address most of our concerns with the outgoing model, namely its back-of-the-pack fuel economy and lack of driver-assistance features. Hopefully these will come along with reduced starting prices. A $30,000 figure would make more sense, giving the new Q3 a better chance of piquing consumer interest, which Audi needs if it hopes to make headway against the class-leading Lexus NX.

Tamsin Greig says there are no roles that a woman cannot play following her appearance in the latest gender-blind production to hit the London stage.
The National Theatre's Twelfth Night, in which she plays Malvolia, a female version of male character Malvolio, follows Glenda Jackson's triumph as King Lear at the Old Vic and the Donmar Warehouse's all-female Shakespearean trilogy.
Greig, 50, said at first she believed that changing the gender of several characters in the play, including her own and Doon Mackichan's Feste, might be "a gimmick" but was persuaded by director Simon Godwin.
"There is no part that a woman can't do," she said. "The Globe is about to do a whole series of really interesting takes on Shakespearean casting and their Twelfth Night is going to be very interesting. They're doing similar investigations into how things change when you change the gender.
"Glenda Jackson did it so successfully in Lear. I think it's not shoving a square peg into a round hole, I think it's about just testing the boundaries of things, given we are testing the boundaries of society wherever we go now."
Greig admitted she had had "lots of conversations" with the theatre after she was approached with the idea. She said: "My immediate response was to smile gleefully at the boldness of it and then spend a long time saying, 'I don't think it is going to work, I don't know how I can make it work'."
Greig said the comedy, about mistaken identity and a woman disguised as a man, was an obvious choice for the approach because it was "already dealing with the topic of confusion and topsy-turvy nature". "Shakespeare is already saying how can we make boys bishops and servants kings and men women? So it is ripe for that kind of possibility," she said.
But some examples of gender-blind casting have been met with hostility. Leslie Jones, a star in the all-female film remake of Ghostbusters, was forced off social media after suffering racist and sexist abuse.

Greig, whose career includes TV roles in Episodes and Green Wing, said: "I think the way Simon has directed it, he has really opened the conversation about the fluidity of identity. We don't define ourselves nowadays — possibly always, but the conversation is hot now — within recognised boundaries anymore.
"Because it is a hot conversation you have to be careful about how you participate in it, and not just participate in it for its own sake."

text: 000 FXUS63 KDVN 300856 AFDDVN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 356 AM CDT Sun Apr 30 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 330 AM CDT Sun Apr 30 2017 Water vapor imagery loop showing strong cut-off mid level low rolling into the southwestern plains, while large scale convective episode ongoing from the southwestern plains and up the OH RVR Valley. More of a stratiform field to the north of that activity trying to spread north and northeast acrs the local area but encountering tight north to northeasterly llvl pressure gradient and flow making it a battle to push northward. The main upper low center projected by most 00z model runs/decent agreement to eject out northeastward over the CWA by Mon morning, and not move into the northern GRt LKS until Tue and continue to be a WX maker for the time being including a possible stronger thunder storm episode this afternoon and evening for the local area. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT Sun Apr 30 2017 Today...Stratiform precip shield will move acrs mainly the southeastern half of the CWA this morning, with spotty lighter rain or drizzle to the northwest and north of it. extrapolation of more widespread moderate with pockets of heavier stratiform rain and embedded thunder will look to keep just south and southeast of the DVN CWA through mid morning, but areas from Kahoka MO to northeast of Macomb may get and unneeded additional 0.25 to 0.40 tenths of an inch of rain aggravating any ongoing nuisance urban and small stream flooding in those areas from previous heavy rain episodes on Sat. But will bank on stratiform nature over a period of time limiting flash flood threat this morning through midday. Like the 00z 4KM NAMnest idea of a lull period acrs much of the local fcst area from 15z through noon or 1 PM after the stratiform shield exits off to the east...maybe just some lingering sprinkles in spots during that window. Then as the upper low moves into eastern KS and it`s leeside deep lift and shear fields move acrs eastern IA and IL, with upstream dry slot streaking acrs eastern KS and western MO, the stage will be set for rounds of afternoon into evening thunderstorm activity moving up acrs the region. Both llvl and deep layer shear fields continue to be advertised by most models and fcst vertical profiles to be very strong to extreme in or near the local area this afternoon and evening. But the real wild card continues to be the extent of instability available for this strong shear to utilize. Some signs of advancing warm front to lee of llvl cyclone, and associated triple point interacting with at least 200-500 J/KG MUCAPES moving up acrs western IL and to the I80 corridor along and east of the Quad City area from mid afternoon into early evening. If this shear and thermodynamic profile where to verify, could see the scenario of sctrd low topped supper cells with damaging wind and tornado threats in these areas from 3 pm through 7-8 pm. More prime area possible just to the southeast of the CWA and could see an upgrade from Slight to enhanced severe risk acrs central into southern IL later this morning. Otherwise, again like the 00z 4KM NAMNest idea, as well as a few other Hires solutions of suggesting bands or spokes of broken lines of showers and thunderstorms moving up acrs the area this afternoon just to lee in in-building dry slot. Couldn`t rule out at least an isolated severe storm further to the west, but better chances appear to be along and east of the MS RVR. With saturated grounds and more of a convective burst heavy rain scenario, could see localized flash flood potentail in the south and east this afternoon with the bands of storms, but coverage and storm progression uncertainties preclude the need for a widespread flash flood headline at this juncture unless things change later this morning. High temps may occur not until late afternoon or early this evening with warm sector and adjacent areas arrival at that time. Large temp gradient from northwest-to-southeast and tricky temp fcst- "bust" potential scenario in between. Some higher sfc DPTS possible in the warm sector pushing the upper 50s or 60 degrees in our far southeast, but again confidence low with this as well as the above mentioned instability uncertainties. But the potentail is there. Tonight...With currently accepted model choices and storm progression, see the more organized bands or evolving squalls of storm lines moving north and northeast out of the DVN CWA by 9-11 PM or so this evening, possibly faster. Then a dry slot lull during mid evening into the overnight, before sctrd light showers, sprinkles or even drizzle arrive from the west well after midnight as the upper low approaches. Lows back down in the 40s toward dawn Monday morning. ..12.. .LONG TERM...(Monday through next Saturday) ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT Sun Apr 30 2017 The occluded upper and surface low will continue to strongly influence our weather through Monday evening, as moisture wraps around the low, after Monday evening, dry air will begin to win the war on the latest wet pattern. While showers on Monday will be scattered in nature, the morning and early afternoon hours are expected to see enough move through most location to still indicate a likely POP. Like the past few days, it will be windy, cloudy, and cold. Highs will stuggle to climb out of the 40s once again. No doubt this low will have a significant dent in this month`s climate data. What follows this pattern will not be above normal temperatures, but a slow climb back to near seasonal normals by the end of the week. The cool, but dry air over the region will result in wide diurnal ranges, with highs in the lower to mid 60s and lows in the mid 30 to near 40. This could allow for some frost potential in the north, and that will be more closely addressed as we move into a quieter pattern where details like this can be explored with higher confidence. In the extended, there is a few periods of lingering low pops, due to earlier runs showing another storm brushing southwest of the area, but that is a lower threat than currently indicated. The one wet model is the ECMWF 00z run, but that seems to be overly wet given the strength and track of the system. ERVIN && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday Night) ISSUED AT 1147 PM CDT Sat Apr 29 2017 Expect mainly periods of light rain and drizzle overnight, with the exception of KBRL, which will likely see a period of heavier rain prior to daybreak. IFR ceilings and MVFR visibilities will be the dominate conditions. Later this afternoon, showers and embedded thunderstorms will push from south to north across the area and have timed a several hour window at each site. Some of the storms could be strong with gusty winds and briefly IFR visibilities, details for later TAF issuances and updates. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 330 AM CDT Sun Apr 30 2017 Heavy rains yesterday fell mainly southeast of a line from Iowa City to Mt Carrol Illinois. That axis is farther south than QPF fields that were used in river forecasts yesterday. In the southeast 1/2 of our area, rainfall of 1 to possibly 3 inches did occur, and fell most heavily in the Rock, Green, La Moine, Mississippi, and Illinois River basins. Flooding is already forecast at moderate levels for many of these areas, and statements concerning each are already sent. Today`s rainfall is mainly forecast to be less than 1 inch. These amounts were already included in river forecasts run last evening. Locally higher amounts are possible today, as thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and early evening. Movement of storms is unlikly to parallel basins, thus the impact of storms should not be a widespread influence. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IA...NONE. IL...NONE.

Statement By Harney County Judge Steve Grasty on the January 6, 2016, Community Meeting
I have never been more proud of our community than I was tonight. The overflow crowd at the Memorial building at the Harney County Fairgrounds was passionate about coming together as a community. The majority of the crowd was clear in its desire to see the militants at the Refuge go home to their families. In fact, Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward offered to escort them out of the county. Attendees were also very appreciative of the work that Sheriff Ward has done on behalf of Harney County. Citizens had an opportunity to ask questions or just make statements and they took full advantage of that opportunity. Many pointed out that this event may have helped raise awareness and spur the community to action. Speakers were passionate about doing what was best for the community. Thank you to the hundreds of people who attended this meeting. Harney County is strong. January 6, 2016

One can argue that two of the most notable milestones in the history of doing business are the Industrial Revolution—which reached almost a century—and the development of the World Wide Web in 1989. Today, online marketing and SEO are two techniques that companies are immensely taking advantage of. Both are important 21st century tools that basically operate according to the following factors:
Getting to Page One
Bing, Yahoo, and Google are the most commonly used internet search engines. These online libraries determine and arrange which internet sites can adequately give the particular information that searchers require. From academic posts to item and service endorsements, these search engines scour the Internet for the perfect data offered then continue to put them on the first page. This is where your company's website link must be at.
Online Traffic. Search engines also control online traffic along with guaranteeing that the most appropriate internet sites are at the top of the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). This is so that their users won't have a difficult time getting what they require. Web surfers are directed to certain sites, which the search engines have deemed much more helpful and better structured than other internet sites.
Quality Content. If you desire to get to the first page of the SERP of commonly used search engines, then you should think about getting the expertise of a Las Vegas search engine optimization (SEO) company. SEO experts can help determine the right keywords for your internet site depending on the products and services that you're offering. With the vital information that you'll provide them, they can help boost the quality of your website's content, thereby increasing its likelihoods of getting to a higher spot in the SERP.
Stressing the Value of Simplicity
Getting on the first page of Google, Bing, and Yahoo could be your primary goal, but it is not the only one. Keep in mind that you can have a much better chance of increasing website visits by simplifying your Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and also the contents of your internet site. In some cases, complexity can be detrimental since site visitors do not prefer to have a difficult time looking for whatever it is they require. Reliable San Diego search engine optimization solutions will guide you with this one.
Disseminating Information
It is also crucial that you recognize ways to spread the word about your company's internet site by publishing your simplified website address through social media. With the guidance and services of a really good Las Vegas SEO firm, you'll be able to efficiently reach your target audience. For more details about search engine optimization, please see businessinsider.com/10-basic-seo-tips-everyone-should-know-2010-1?op=1.

Director of football David Pleat issued a brief statement after Thatcher left to the effect that further talks would be needed before any deal could be reached.
And he told the Spurs official web-site at 7pm on Friday: "We have had some discussions this afternoon. There were many points to consider, not all financial, but we were not able to get a final decision."
He said the medical tests on Thatcher had been fine.
After Wimbledon accepted an offer in the region of L5m on Thursday, Pleat said: "We were determined to get an orthodox left-back. We hope... he will be wearing a Spurs training top on Monday and then travel to Sweden with the team.
"He is a potential England left-back and playing for our club can only help him in that direction."
Thatcher has made a huge impression since signing for Wimbledon from Millwall for L1.6m. Recruited by Joe Kinnear, the former Tottenham player described him as the next Stuart Pearce.

General Motors (GM) and Walt Disney World Resort's Epcot Theme Park in Florida have come together to produce an innovative exhibit they call "Fuel for Thought." Advances in fuel cell technology, hybrid vehicles, and ethanol-powered cars and trucks are on display for the "edutainment" of all ages. "Fuel for Thought" is designed to be a bona fide playground for the senses with luminous graphics, interactive kiosks, challenging games, and live presentations dedicated to the expansion of the public's knowledge of alternative fuel technology.
The exhibit begins by walking down the livegreengoyellow.com pathway. On one side, visitors are greeted by a huge plasma wall picturing a brilliant cornfield. On the other, GM introduces several of its environmental endeavors taking place all over the world. Once inside, visitors walk on to an enormous graphic that, at first, appears to be corn kernels held in a circle. Motion sensors soon detect footsteps, and the kernels explode into popcorn! E85 messages also appear through the spectacular graphics.
The main purpose of the exhibit is education; however, GM and Epcot combine forces to make the experience exciting for the whole family. A FlexFuel E85-compatible vehicle is on display, and visitors are strongly welcomed to climb right in. Another display consists of a Chevy Tahoe chassis complete with a light show to explain two-mode hybrid technology.
As you exit "Fuel for Thought," GM and Epcot grant a glimpse into the future of alternative fuels technology as they present to you the AUTOnomy. First introduced by GM in 2002, the AUTOnomy is the world's first vehicle designed completely around a fuel cell propulsion system.
Commenting on the exhibit, Betsy Lazar, executive director of advertising and media operations for GM, said, "Epcot is an amazing imaginative theme park. With the addition of 'Fuel for Thought,' visitors will now have an opportunity to explore innovative aspects and applications of automotive technology through a fun-filled experience."
For more information on the "Fuel for Thought" exhibit, visit GM's Web site at www.gm.com.

Miranda Hart Shows Thinning Hair After Knee Operation
She's famous for her starring role in hit TV show Miranda, and has popped up in many other programmes including a regular role in Call the Midwife. However, the comedienne and actress has been struggling to smile lately on account of a knee injury that has resulted in an operation for the star, who has been seen hopping about on crutches as she bravely attempts to continue her fundraising effort 'Miranda's Mad March'.
After undergoing surgery a fortnight ago, the star still looked to be in considerable pain as she hopped into a taxi earlier today, and her hair looked particularly thin, indicating that Miranda may be experiencing hair loss.
Hopping Towards Hair Loss?
Having an operation can lead to hair loss in the form of Telogen Effluvium. However this usually occurs after serious surgery and though hair prematurely enters the telogen, or resting phase of its cycly early, it still takes about three months before the hair sheds.
So, it's probably unlikely that Miranda is losing hair due to her operation, and more likely that she's experiencing a condition called female pattern hair loss. Pattern hair loss occurs when the androgen DHT causes hair follicles on the top of the scalp to shrink and produce thinner, weaker hair. Whilst in men this condition often results in a thinning crown or a receding hairline, in women an overall thinning atop the head occurs.
Because we inherit the predisposition to pattern hair loss from our family tree, as yet there is no 'cure' for it. That said, if Miranda wanted to prevent her hair thinning further and even regrow some of her loss, she could begin a hair loss treatment programme that contained minoxidil, the only clinically proven hair loss medication for women that has been licensed by the MHRA and approved by the FDA, the UK and US medical regulatory bodies respectively.
The Clinically Proven Way
Minoxidil is applied directly to the scalp twice a day, and up to a combined daily dose of 18% can be achieved with Belgravia's high strength minoxidil formulation, which is significantly more effective on tough cases of hair loss than the 2% solution available from the chemist.
A comprehensive hair loss treatment plan brings together several key elements of the treatment process, from proven medication to 7 days a week support over the phone, in person or via the internet for our patients. Check-ups every three months allow Belgravia hair loss specialists to monitor the progress of our patients by comparing detailed multi-angle images, and then to make any necessary changes to the treatment plan to ensure that he optimum combination of medication and hair growth boosters is in place at all times.
The Belgravia Centre—————————————————————————————————–
The Belgravia Centre is the leader in hair loss treatment in the UK, with two clinics based in Central London. We offer clinically proven treatments for hair loss, as part of comprehensive treatment programmes offered by our hair loss specialists. Our in-house pharmacies produce high-strength medications for hair loss that contain medically proven ingredients and are available at no other clinic worldwide. Treatment programmes are available by visiting the centres or for home-use, anywhere in the UK or the rest of the world. View our hair loss success stories, which are the largest collection of such success stories in the world and demonstrate the levels of hair regrowth that so many of Belgravia's patients achieve. You can also phone 0800 077 6666 for our hair loss helpline or to arrange a free consultation.
