Few people who drive south along Swift Road realize that they are passing one of Sarasota's most unusual and historic neighborhoods. The Maine Colony Historic District, now part of the Phillippi Crest community and one of the earliest vacation/retirement enclaves in the county, was developed by northerners who wanted to enjoy mild Florida winters.
In 1916, David Wade, an investor in Sarasota real estate, bought land near Phillippi Creek from the Palmer family on behalf of a group of railroad retirees from the Boston area and Maine. The announcement of plans to build winter homes and a community clubhouse four miles south of downtown made front-page news in the Sarasota Times newspaper.
World War I delayed development, but by the early 1920s, before that decade's Florida land boom, a number of homes had sprung up along Ashton Road, Portland Way, Burlington Lane and Damariscotta Place, with some of those streets named after the hometowns of residents.
Many of the houses were kit homes shipped by train to Tampa and then by boat to the Maine Colony site. These one-story, wood-frame houses feature gabled roofs, large front porches and many windows to take advantage of the breezes from the creek. The clubhouse, built in 1923, is a good example. It has many of these attributes, plus a corbelled brick chimney at the north gable end.
As the focal point of the community, the clubhouse hosted a lively social life. In the early years of the colony, the clubhouse's fish frys, picnics, covered-dish suppers, dances and card and costume parties attracted prominent Sarasota citizens.
In those days, the club had two names: The Maine Colony Club and The Phillippi Crest Club.
Over the years, the area has had its share of famous residents. Syd Solomon, the well-known painter, lived there when he came to Sarasota in 1946, before he built a house and studio on Siesta Key. Saturday Evening Post cover artist Thornton Utz arrived in 1953 with his family and made his first Sarasota-area home there, too.
In the 1950s, two streets to the south of Ashton Road, Arapaho and Apache, were built out with the one-story Florida ranch homes typical of that era and became part of Phillippi Crest Community.
In 2005, the area bounded by Swift and Ashton roads, Portland Way and Grafton Street was put on the National Register of Historic Places as the Maine Colony Historic District. More than 80 percent of the houses, constructed from 1920 to 1955, were listed as "contributing" buildings to the historic designation.
Today, the neighborhood maintains its secluded charm. The old frame homes are on wide and deep lots shaded by large oak trees, giving the area a rural feeling. Some side streets and alleys are paved with shell.
"I like that it's a down-to-earth neighborhood," said Susan Hicks, a board member of the Phillippi Crest Community Club who has lived there 10 years.
The residents are a mix of working families and retirees. "You can find your own level of being sociable and private," Hicks said. "There are people you hardly ever see, and others, who belong to the club, take pies across the street to newcomers and take care of each other."
Ryan Carson, a Realtor for RE/MAX, has two listings next to each other on Ashton Road, each with an asking price of $119,000. One, a Florida cottage-style frame house, was built in the 1930s. The other is a concrete-block home from 1951.
He pointed out one of the area's main attractions: Riverview High School is just up the road on Lords Avenue. "The people we've been showing to either want to develop the properties, or are families that want to be in the school district," he said.
Phillippi Crest Community was hit hard during the latest housing boom and decline, Hicks said. A number of short sales and foreclosures occurred there. Six houses are listed now, priced from $99,900 to $125,678.
Although the clubhouse fell into disrepair for a while, it is being used for meetings again. New plumbing has been installed, and further renovations are planned.
"Years ago, there were potlucks, yard sales, anniversaries and Halloween parties there," Hicks said. "We're trying to get it to the point where we can have lots of community functions again."
Inside, there's a board with the names of the original club members. Above the fireplace, a small blackboard warns, "WATCH OUT FOR GHOSTS."

In 1976, the Mitsubishi company began work on creating a new main combat tank, which was supposed to replace the existing Type 61 and 74 vehicles. In addition to Japanese engineers, specialists from the German companies MaK and Krauss-Maffei took part in the development of the tank, who took part in the creation of the German main battle tank Leopard. The influence of German designers was reflected in the appearance of the Japanese tank. In 1989, after a series of tests and refinements, the tank was adopted by the Japanese Self-Defense Army under the index "90". The installation batch of tanks was released in 1990, since 1992, mass production has begun. As of 2010, the Japanese Self-Defense Army was armed with 341 Type 90 tanks. The initial need for Japanese armored forces in new tanks was estimated at 600 units.
According to a number of specialists, the Type 90 tank is rightfully among the best tanks of the day. This tank is also one of the most expensive, the 1 vehicle costs the Japanese government 8-9 million dollars, only Leclerc is more expensive - 10 million dollars per tank.
MBT Type 90 is designed according to the classical scheme with rear arrangement of the MTS - engine compartment. In front of the tank is the control compartment, which is shifted to the left side, on the starboard side in front is part of the gun ammunition. The fighting compartment is located in the central part of the tank. In the armored turret on both sides of the gun are the gunner and commander, gunner on the left, the commander on the right. The use of an automatic loader on the tank allowed to exclude one person from the crew. In this Japanese tank repeats Soviet cars T-64, T-72 and T-80, as well as the French Leclerc.
The tank hull and its tower have a welded structure. The armor of the tank is multi-layered, spaced out, with the extensive use of ceramic elements, which are produced by Kyoto Ceramics Company. The upper frontal hull sheet is installed at a very large angle to the vertical, while the frontal and side parts of the tank tower are almost at a right angle. The hull sides and undercarriage of the tank are equipped with additional protection in the form of steel anti-cumulative screens. The combat weight of the tank reaches 50,2 tons.
The basic one weapons The tank is a X-NUMX-mm smooth-bore cannon Rh-M-120 of the German company Rheinmetall, produced in Japan under license. The gun is stabilized in two planes. The corners of the pickup in the vertical plane are in the range from -120 to + 12 degrees. It is possible to shoot a gun with all 15 ammunition developed for the German Leopard-120 tank and the American МХNUMXА2 Abrams. Mitsubishi developed a special machine gun to load the gun using a mechanized ammo pack, placed in the turret niche and containing 1 shots. The necessary conditions for the implementation of automatic loader is the return of the gun barrel after a shot at a zero angle of elevation. After charging, the gun automatically returns to the specified angle of fire.
The striker is separated from the remaining space of the turret by an armored partition, and to reduce the destructive effect of the detonation of the ammunition in the turret's roof, special expelling panels are mounted. In addition to 20 shots, which are in the mechanized combat pack, 20 shots are also stored in the tank hull. With the exception of 120-mm smooth-bore guns, which are manufactured in Japan under the license of the German company Rheinmetall, all units and assemblies of the tank Type 90 are of Japanese origin.
Created by "Mitsubishi" fire control system (FCS) is considered one of the best in the world. The OMS includes panoramic tank observation and guidance devices stabilized in two planes, gunner observation and guidance devices stabilized in one plane, a laser range finder, an 32 bit electronic digital ballistic computer, an automatic tracking system for the target, and a sensor system, responsible for the transfer of information to the ballistic computer to calculate the corrections when shooting.
The gunner's sight is equipped with a daytime optical channel, a thermal imaging channel, and a laser rangefinder. The manufacturer of the gunner's sight is Nikon Corporation, the commander's sights are made by Fuji. The fire control system provides the ability to auto-follow targets based on the operation of a thermal imager. Thanks to the LMS, the tank is able to fire in motion and from a place at any time of the day, both at moving and at fixed targets. Without the use of automatic target tracking, the commander and the gunner can manually lead the targets. To use the target tracking machine, the tank commander or gunner must press the Capture button as soon as the target is detected and falls within the scope of the Capture target in the sight. In the event that the object disappears for some time, for example, behind a shelter, the sight continues to follow the target at the same speed, so that in case of a target appearing from behind the shelter, the gunner can quickly put it "on hold".
The commander's sight stabilized in the 2-x planes, which has only a day-time optical channel, allows not only to detect and hit targets directly, but also has such a function as a "tank killer". When you press a button on your control panel, the commander has the ability to "transfer" the object he finds to the gunner, while he himself may continue to search for new targets, at this time the gunner hits the first detected target.
The signal from the thermal channel of the sight of the gunner's sight is displayed on the 2 monitor. One of them is mounted at the gunner's place, the second at the commanding workplace. The heart of the OMS is the 32-bit digital ballistic computer. With the defeat of both fixed and moving targets, he amends for distance, wind, ambient air temperature (data comes from sensors located on the tower of the tank), the bend of the gun barrel and the angle of inclination of its axle axles.
Auxiliary armament of the tank includes an 7,62-mm machine gun coupled with an X-gun and an anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on the commander's turret of the 12,7-mm. On the sides of the tower closer to the stern, installations for launching smoke grenades are mounted. In addition to smoke grenades, a smoke screen can be installed by special thermal smoke equipment, also mounted on a tank.
In the engine compartment is a V-shaped 10-cylinder diesel engine 10 ZG manufactured by Mitsubishi. The engine is equipped with a turbocharging system, has liquid cooling and at 2400 rpm is able to develop maximum power in 1500 hp In one block with the engine, a hydromechanical transmission is made with an automatic planetary gearbox, which is locked by a torque converter and a special hydrovolume transmission in the steering drive. The automatic transmission has 4 transmissions forward and 2 rear. The maximum speed of the tank on the highway reaches 70 km / h, the maximum reverse speed - 42 km / h.
The power of a ten-cylinder engine allows the tank to cross the 20 meters from the spot in 200 seconds. When traveling over rough terrain, MBT is able to overcome a ditch with a width of 2,7 m., A vertical wall with a height of 1 m., And a ford to a depth of 2 m. The cruising range of the tank equals 350 km., With fully filled tanks (1100 liters).
In the undercarriage of a tank from each side, there are 6 dual rubber-supported and 3 supporting rollers. Driving wheels are at the back. Combined suspension. Hydropneumatic servomotors are on the two front and two rear support rollers on each side, and torsion shafts on all others. This suspension scheme allows the tank to tilt the hull in the longitudinal plane, as well as change the amount of clearance in the range from 200 to 600 mm. Caterpillars of steel tank with rubber-metal hinge, equipped with removable rubber pads.
A laser radiation sensor is mounted on the front of the tower's roof, which beeps and also indicates the direction of radiation to the tank commander's workplace. This system can be used in conjunction with the automatic shooting of smoke grenades to counteract missiles with an infrared beam guidance system. In addition, the tank equipment includes a system of protection against weapons of mass destruction, a high-speed fire extinguishing system, a tank intercom and a radio station.
On the basis of the OBT Type 90, an armored repair and recovery vehicle BREM 90 was created. BREM received a new superstructure of the hull with a crane mounted on the front right, a bulldozer mounted on the front of the hull and a hydraulic winch. Also, work is underway to create an 91 Type Bridge Construction Tank, which is capable of covering obstacles up to 20 meters in width with a bridge carrying capacity of 60 tons.

Claiming a "first" in Australian banking, Macquarie says it has developed its new Internet banking suite of products and services after looking at the way Spotify, Facebook, and Netflix use technology for their own services.
The head of personal banking for Macquarie's Banking and Financial Services Group, Ben Perham, says the company had the opportunity to build its digital environment from the ground up, "so we looked beyond financial services to digital companies leading in customer experience".
"We set out to provide customers with tools to manage their money that look and feel more like social media sites, search engines and video or music streaming services.
"The result for our customers is a personalised and intuitive digital banking environment, offering the full range of products including transaction accounts, savings accounts, credit cards and home loans."
Perham says features of the bank's digital services including search-how-you-speak technology, the ability to tag and track transactions, upload receipts and warranties, set saving and spending goals, and automatically categorising spending through machine learning technology.
"Delivering intuitive technology to our customers transforms the static information they usually receive into a service that empowers them to achieve their financial goals," he says.
In addition Macquarie says its new transaction and savings accounts also offer benefits including: no monthly fees, no fees at any ATM in Australia (through a refund of fees charged by other organisations), no fees on international purchases, and a 50c rebate on cash withdrawals more than $100 in store, and stepped interest rates.
Luis Uguina, chief digital officer for Macquarie's Banking and Financial Services Group, says Macquarie is seeking input from early users of its digital experience to further enhance and build on its future offering.
"Our approach is highly agile and we're actively seeking feedback from our customers so we can continue to develop and enhance our offering based on their needs and preferences.
"As well as experiencing everything we've delivered already, we'll be giving early adopters of our products access to our beta environment, so they can test our innovations in their daily lives, tell us what they think and what they want to see next.
"For people who want to bank digitally, we believe our new offering and the approach we're taking to its future development will be both exciting and empowering," Uguina says.

The US refining industry has been on an upward trajectory over the past decade. Global oil consumption growth has been solid, while trapped Western Canadian and sometimes US crude has contributed towards significant price discounts and a strong competitive advantage among US refiners compared with their global competitors.
But the ride came to a sudden end in the last third of March, when the sector suffered massive demand destruction as Covid-19 closed down economies and enforced global lockdowns.
US refining margins initially looked as if they might hold up, despite a large drop off in crude runs, because of the short-lived oil price war. Since then, the spectre of negative oil prices has led to a significant contraction in global and North American oil supply and substantially lower discounts—if not rare price premiums—for inland US crude.
Fortunately, the US oil refining industry was resilient in the first quarter and posted solid profits, ignoring charges for special non-cash items. But the refining companies appear to be preparing for a rough ride over the rest of this year, if not for substantially longer.
The decline in global oil consumption has been of historic proportions. Global lockdowns caused demand to collapse by 25mn bl/d, or around 25pc, year-on-year in April, according to the IEA's most-recent monthly Oil Market Report.
Data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) appears to support the IEA numbers (see Figure 1). Since the week ending 20 March, petroleum products supplied by US refining companies—a proxy for oil consumption—have declined by 23pc compared with the same period in 2019, to 15.45mn bl/d.
Gasoline has declined by a substantial 36pc, distillates by a relatively modest 13pc and jet fuel by an enormous 61pc. US refinery throughputs averaged just below 13.6mn bl/d between the week ending 20 March and the week ending 8 May—18pc less than for the same period in 2019.
The IEA is forecasting a modest rebound in global refinery activity in June, but it has warned that this could be slowed somewhat by crude prices rising faster than petroleum products, further squeezing refinery margins. The agency forecasts global crude refining throughput at 66.2mn bl/d in May, the same as for April and down more than 14mn bl/d year-on-year.
Opec+ agreed to reduce crude production by 9.7mn bl/d as of 1 May, while several cartel members have since said they will cut output more than originally pledged. Opec kingpin Saudi Arabia has indicated it will slash production by 5mn bl/d in June—1mn bl/d more than its original commitment. In North America, Canadian oil production may already be down by 1mn bl/d and US output by twice that amount, with the Bakken accounting for almost a quarter the US total.
As a result, WTI crude for near-month delivery has surged above $30/bl in recent days after falling to minus $38/bl on delivery day last month—a wake-up call for producers concerned about lack of storage capacity.
Bakken crude at the Clearbrook, Minnesota hub has been trading $2/bl above WTI, its highest level since late 2017. Western Canadian Select (WCS) has recently been trading at around a $5/bl discount to WTI futures, compared with a more normal $10-12/bl, as US refiners suddenly find themselves scrambling to source oil despite highly diminished activity. The US refinery utilisation rate has down to 68pc in recent weeks, near an all-time low.
According to researcher JBC Energy, recent crude market strength has caused its global weighted average refining margin to fall into the red for the first time since the second quarter of 2014. Diesel margins in the US are currently less than $11/bl, the lowest on a seasonal basis in the past decade.
On the whole, the five largest independent oil refiners in the US by crude capacity—Marathon Petroleum, Valero Energy, Phillips 66, PBF Energy and HollyFrontier—had relatively robust financial results in the first quarter, discounting non-cash charges for goodwill and the value of crude and product inventories (see Table 1). The five companies in total had an operating profit of $3.71bn, with only PBF showing a small loss. Total refinery throughput was just shy of 9mn bl/d, the same as the first quarter of 2019 despite volumes dropping off over the last third of March.
But the companies took a massive $18.66bn in non-cash charges for special items in the first quarter. Most of the charges for individual firms were to account for changed inventory values, with Marathon the major exception. The company took almost $12.4bn in charges, and while roughly $3.3bn was for the revaluation of its inventories, most of the rest was a goodwill impairment charge.
The major independent US refiners have announced substantial cuts to refinery throughputs for the second quarter to prepare for a more difficult future—with the exception of Phillips 66, which has not released this information. The companies will also reduce capital spending plans for 2020 and, in many cases, scale back share repurchase programmes or quarterly dividends.
Four of the independents have announced plans to reduce refinery throughputs by 25pc in the second quarter, which would be roughly the volume of oil demand decline in the US since the week ending 20 March. Marathon and HollyFrontier are both planning to reduce refinery runs by around 30pc compared with first-quarter levels, and Valero and PBF by about 20pc.
The refiners have reduced their original capital spending plans by an average of 22pc, to $9.05bn. PBF has cut spending in half, to $350mn, whereas Phillips 66 has lowered spending by only 9pc, to $3.03bn.
Marathon, Valero and Phillips 66 suspended their share buyback programmes in late March. PBF, which did not have a programme in place when the pandemic hit, suspended its quarterly dividend on 30 March.

'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Is Back for Season Two
Mark your calendars, and check out the brand-new trailer
"One year ago, my old life ended and my new life began…" Thus begins the first full-length trailer introducing season two of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Amy Sherman-Palladino's eight-time Emmy Award-winning series about a fledgling comic struggling to make it in the 1950s New York comedy scene. The season two trailer has just been released, as has the season's premiere date. Mark your calendars: You can expect the new season on December 5 of this year.
Watch the trailer:
Season two drops viewers back into the life of Miriam "Midge" Maisel and the quirky cast of characters that peoples her life. According to Amazon, "After Midge's triumph at the Gaslight, the fallout from her takedown of Sophie Lennon looms large, making her climb up the comedy ladder more challenging than ever. As the actual grind of being a comic begins to take its toll on Midge, the pressure to come clean to her family weighs on here—especially as her choices have a ripple effect on everyone around her."
After taking home eight awards at the 2018 Emmys—including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for star Rachel Brosnahan, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Alex Borstein—The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is back with more laughs, more hijinks, and more of the characters we've come to know and love.
The new season will premiere on December 5, 2018, and you can find it then on Amazon Prime Video. In the meantime, be sure to catch up on season one (you can find it on Amazon Prime Video too) so that you're ready to dive back into the show when the season two is released in December.

Shell to Sea Update from Erris & the 'Reinstating' of Glengad.

Shell to Sea / Rossport Solidarity Camp Update from Erris Co. Mayo. November 2009.
While Glengad and Shell issues have largely gone from the public eye, and indeed things have quietened down some what, that's not to say that stuff hasnt been going on, it just doesnt always make the media.
* Shell have completely vacated the Glengad compound in the last few week or so. Unfortunately they havent done a wonderful job of cleaning up after themselves. Plenty of rubble was left behind on the beach from the causeway that they extended out to sea and then removed.

That $hell and the Co.Co of mayo have managed to make a mess of the coastline comes as no supprise. Thankfully this is not nigeria and the "mess" amounts to conversion of a sandy beach to rock strewn scree. What are the "parks and wildlife service" doing. Hot on evicting the low impact "camp" last year with the full vigore of the corrupt law. But dead slow to tackle $hell and the mess they created. Would the small question of brown envelopes have anything to do with this?. Murder in Nigeria? Corruption in Ireland? - Smells of $hell! - the stench streches from Drumcondra to Mayo gets stronger by the second. ENDS

SHell and their contractors do NOT care about the destruction they cause or the environment mess ( DESTRUCTION ) they make or leave behind. Would the people of Westport or any other beach front property like it , if this was done to their Beach. I think NOT ! So why is it that they ($h£LL) can just leave this dangerous mess on a beach where people go surfing, never mind trying to walk; which use to be a flat sandy beach. When are the Government officials going face up to the fact that this destruction will not be tolerated, where are the Parks and Wildlife officers? If local people did this in any area around Ireland, would there not be an investigation and prosecutions? Well shit ; we all know who did this destruction, Parks and Wildlife know. The locals should bring them all to court as we know that the local Judge does not stand for land or sea pollution. SO lets sue Mayo C.C. parks and Wildlife and most important shell and their contractors. They can not get away with this: Lets start the court actions and Legal proceedings ! ! !

The photos are very good, but can't show the degree of damage to nesting-sites of sand-martins, wheatears, ringed plovers, & other waders, nor the grease & other pollutants on a public beach.

Maybe it's time to ask Karen Gaynor for her opinion on this destruction. Afterall, it was her opinion regarding the alleged destruction upon the machair system by the S2S camp that facilitated Mayo CC bringing a case against the campers and having them evicted from the area. Which in turn facilitated Shell's wanton destruction, in no small way, in the immediate and surrounding area.

Easter Celebration in Mexico: Semana Santa (Holy Week)
Faithful to its Catholic tradition, the Mexican people celebrate each year Semana Santa, a reminder of the time when Jesus Christ died on the cross.
Semana Santa includes both Holy Week and Easter. The Holy Week, beginning on Palm Sunday and ending Easter Saturday) and Pascua (Starting with Easter Sunday and ending the following Saturday). This year, it starts on April 9th and ends on the 22nd.
It is a period of fasting and reflexion for the believers. You can see ceremonies, rituals and representations of the Passion or Viacrucis. (the walk of Jesus with the cross on his shoulders) in every city.
Many people decide to not eat meat during the Holy Week, so seafood shops can get crowded. At the same time, they increase their stock with a variety of very fresh items.
This holiday is so important in Mexico that many places stop any activity Holy week's Thursday and Friday, such as banks, government offices and institutions. Schools are also closed during the two-week period. It increases the national tourism in every part of the country, specially on the beach areas.
You'll see buses traveling all over the highways. Big Mexican families rent them to move together from one place to another. This is a relief for commerce and services industry, which find in this period a good way to earn some profit before low season.

President of the Republic Barham Salih affirmed, in a telephone conversation with his French counterpart, that Iraq is keen on peace-building in the region.
The President received a phone call from his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron where they exchanged views on the rapid developments in the country and the region, according to a statement issued by the Media Office of the president to Iraqi News Agency – INA.
The statement included that Salih expressed Iraq's appreciation for the support provided by friends as a main party that supports stability in the region, stressing that "Iraq is keen to be a factor of stability and harmony in the region and the world, and not to allow the conflict to spread to its lands or turn it into an arena of disputes,"
Salih also stressed, according to the statement, "Protecting sovereignty and keep on making victories against terrorism in addition to adopt reconstruction is a priority for Iraq and the international community,"
The French President stressed his country's keenness on the stability of Iraq, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, noting that the stability of the Middle East requires action to spare Iraq from the repercussions of international and regional crises.
Macron called everyone to work to prevent Iraq from turning into a battleground between the conflicting parties in international crises, and that partners continue to support the Iraqi state and its institutions to maintain security and sovereignty.

Subject: Second official Test Cycle for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 scheduled

The next step to release `potato' alias Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 will be
taken soon. On Wednesday, May 24th, the first official Test Cycle[1]
ends. During the next days after the end packages scheduled for
installation will be installed and packages with release critical bugs
will be purged.
Special attention has to be taken for packages whose bugs don't appear
in `potato' but only in `woody'. This is also a request for
developers to review the list of release critical bugs[2] and mark
them properly. The `woody' distribution is the successor of `potato'
and currently tagged `unstable'. It is already being actively
"The first test cycle flushed out some coordination problems", says
Richard Braakman, current Release-Manager for the Debian Project. "We
hope that the next cycle will be a more thorough test of the
distribution itself."
On Monday, May 29th, the next test cycle will start. During the next
days after Monday boot-floppies and cd images will stabilize and
demonstrate the high quality of the distribution.

text: BETTER safe than sorry. Parents with such a mentality tend to be risk-averse, anti-adventure, possibly even paranoid. These are the sorts of parents who tend to encourage their children to spend less CCA or co-curricular hours in a week. Why don't they support those grueling, six-hour or more CCAs, like sports or uniformed groups? No, too taxing, too time-consuming. No wonder the students who go for CCAs such as Media Resources and Astrology Club are considered wimps—losers, if you will. Continue reading

Welcome to our Mental Maths Olympics Page
Learning times tables is really important. After all, they're the building blocks of maths, and with your multiplications mastered, you can do almost anything! Memorising tables makes it far quicker and easier for children to work out maths problems in their heads. It can also help to develop the ability to internally add, subtract and divide! Knowing their times tables can also help your child more readily grasp other important aspects of maths, such as fractions, division and percentages.
With this in mind, we felt it was important for your child to continue their times table journey even during these unprecedented times. Therefore we have created this page so that you can readily access the Mental Maths Olympics sheets which we use to support your child's learning of times tables and other key number facts in class.
Below are the practise sheets your child will have been learning in class (and at home). There is a guide for each key stage, outlining the order in which the sheets should be completed.
Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2)
KS1 Guide to Mental Maths Olympics Sheets
Key Stage 2 (Years 3,4,5 & 6)

After a months-long build-up, a timid but highly publicised beef, three multi-platinum singles, and one carefully timed Degrassi reunion, Drake's eighth full-length project, Scorpion, wafted out into the world like so much Instagrammed cigar smoke last night. Its 25 songs spread out over 90 minutes, so there's plenty of space for the OVO honcho and basketball enthusiast to work in different styles and moods without flattening his through line. Every song here will find its way onto a different Spotify playlist, but they pull together impressively.
Unlike Kanye West, who now seems to have a team of people scouring Numero Group reissues for samples but nobody in any particular hurry to clear the tracks before they're released, Drake and his team have pulled from an unlikely range of musicians to create Scorpion's exoskeleton. Beyond the newly unearthed Michael Jackson track on "Don't Matter to Me" and the Mariah Carey remix on "Emotionless," there are some sounds that need to be picked apart. They are these:
Claude Larson's "Telex" on "Survival"
Claude Larson was a pseudonym for Klaus Netzle, a German composer and keyboardist born in Munich in 1926. And because this is something akin to library music – a stock track put together by a session musician, despite all of "Telex"'s nimble eeriness – that's all the information that's out there about the man. The song made it onto "Vinyle Archéologie: Crate Digging & Break Excavation," a Facebook group started by the Michigan-based producer Nati^e$ound. And while I'd love to think that Drake found Larson/Netzle while using an anonymous Facebook profile, "Survival" was co-produced by No I.D. and Noah "40" Shebib, both avid crate-diggers themselves. So there's every chance they just found this while tripping through anonymous, utopian keyboard sounds from the late-70s. If you want to step up from "Telex"'s lush glitches, go get lost in the terrifying sci-fi synths of Netzle and Raven Kane's Silicon Valley over your lunch break. If you want something a little less nightmare-inducing, here's a far more placid Larson-helmed 1983 album called Plantlife that I've been listening to for the past half-hour.
Magnolia Shorty's "Smoking Gun" on "In My Feelings"
Drake's history with New Orleans bounce has been well documented (thanks, Phil), though it doesn't find its into the mix as often as I expected on Scorpion – it's pretty much Big Freedia on "Nice for What" and the late Magnolia Shorty on the mellowed-down "In My Feelings." She was one of the first women to sign to Cash Money – shortly after Ms. Tee – and her debut album Monkey On Tha D$ck is still considered a bounce classic. But she was shot dead in a 2010 drive-by, and her second album was never completed. "Smoking Gun" is relentless and joyful and it couldn't be further away from the sad-sack vibe that Drake's courting on "In My Feelings." Which, in itself, puts Drake in the perfect Drake position – sitting down with a bottle of his own whiskey, thinking about someone else having more fun.
A very funny Facebook video uploaded by Floridian rapper Plies on "8 Out of 10"
We could sit here and talk about the fact that Plies actually didn't deserve all the shit he took in the first place; we could discuss the merits of his Obama meditation, as Skinny Friedman did at Noisey six years ago; we could all go listen to "Ran Off on da Plug Twice" and admire the 41-year-old Floridian rapper's unlikely return to relevance. But the only way to truly understand Drake's decision to sample this is to watch the thing. (And I'd bet my World Cup gambling fund on the fact that it was Drake and not Boi-1da or Jahan Sweet or OB who picked this out.) Marvel at the way Plies commits to the bit, observe the way in which he stares directly into the camera and barely looks away, and then consider bringing back ringtones so you can hear Plies softly whisper "you mad" every time you get a text.
Dorothy Ashby's "The Windmills of Your Mind" on "Final Fantasy"
Noel Harrison's version of "The Windmills of Your Mind" is the first song you'll hear if you rewatch the original, 1968 version of The Thomas Crown Affair, and the song won composer Michel Legrand his first Academy Award that same year. (The cover that Sting recorded for the 1999 remake wasn't quite as haunting.) But the version sampled here is from Dorothy Ashby's. Described by Tom Moon as one of the most unjustly under-loved jazz greats of the 1950s," Ashby struggled for recognition as a harpist in an extremely white, male scene through the middle of the 20th Century. She's still revered by many, and there's absolutely no excuse not to go listen to her right now. (She even made a turn towards the Japanese koto in the '70s and experimented with new, unfamiliar styles on the harp.) If Ashby sounds familiar here, you might've heard this sample, chopped up into much smaller pieces, on Common's Finding Forever cut "Start the Show."

Confirming buyer intent matters. But confirming a buyer's fit is just as critical. Even if the lead you're handing to Sales has high intent to purchase, they won't be a viable lead if you don't serve their industry or can't meet their needs. However, if Marketing can ascertain the prospect has intent to purchase and expressed that their needs and goals fit what your organization provides, you have a qualified lead to give to Sales.
Marketing Automation Has Transformed Both Marketing and Sales
Marketing automation systems have changed the lives of marketers. They can personalize content or send timed, targeted emails to prospects who have expressed intent to purchase. But beyond executing and streamlining tedious processes, marketing automation technology has also transformed the sales funnel.
In an EverString blog post titled, "Why Should I Care About Fit & Intent?", Matt Amundson writes that when marketing automation tools hit their peak roughly six years ago, consumers quickly caught the scent of these new stacks. It was obvious when they started receiving engagement (sales calls, digital follow-ups) immediately after viewing a first-party site. Once the automated engagement and lead generation became apparent, consumers underwent a transformation of their own: they started consuming content based on the the topical authority of third-party sites like Forbes or Business Insider.
For first-party firms, this meant a loss of control and zero visibility into the information captured by the marketing automation systems at those third-party sites. In simpler words, it threw a major kink into marketing operations. Marketers need context to determine whether a visitor to their website has intent to purchase and is the right fit to be considered a quality lead.
Buyer Intent Data Only Matters If the Buyer Is a Fit
Buyer intent data is the fuel that keeps the many moving parts of the marketing automation system feeding sales funnels. But, without the right fit, intent data alone doesn't guarantee valuable prospects. Engaging a client who fits your targeted demographic and intends to make a purchase on a product like yours saves your organization money, time, and energy. It also saves the client time and energy. Amundson posits that if a prospect meets your buyer intent and fit criteria, and if you understand theirs, that prospect is more likely to spend more, and to spend quickly, which results in a shorter sales cycle through the funnel.
Aberdeen supports much of this sentiment; buyer intent context fuels everything we do. Our job is to ascertain the most crucial factors that determine a qualified lead. Who is in-market to buy? Who's in which market? What are their perceptions of the market and its players (including you)? How do they engage with which types of content? These are the kinds of context we discover, investigate, synthesize, and then provide. A qualified lead isn't boiled down to a "win." A qualified lead means your organization has diverted its energy, dollars, and minutes to a prospect who had buying intent and was the right fit.
So, to answer the question in Amundson's headline: You, and we, should care about both fit and intent, because buyer intent data missing that critical fit context is not much more than extra unstructured lead-gen data.
We don't like wasting our time. We have zero intent of wasting a client's time. Ensuring that any prospect who indicates intent to buy is also the right fit is, at Aberdeen, the right way to qualify a prospect.
Do you know which specific companies are currently in-market to buy your product? Wouldn't it be easier to sell to them if you already knew who they were, what they thought of you, and what they thought of your competitors? Good news – It is now possible to know this, with up to 91% accuracy. Check out Aberdeen's comprehensive report Demystifying B2B Purchase Intent Data to learn more.

Discover Your Voice
I firmly believe that we each have a unique voice with which to express ourselves - and that we deserve to know how to care for it and use it to its fullest extent.
Teaching voice, and music in general, is an incredible honor as it allows us as humans to explore new pathways and ways of expressing ourselves. It encourages the most intimate level of self knowledge, being able to acknowledge and address tension and relaxation throughout the physical body, take on new physicality as different characters, and to try new extremes of our own emotional journeys in ways that are not always accessible in our modern daily lives.
I teach singers and pianists of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels in downtown Baltimore and via Skype. My students range from hobbyists to students to professionals.
Let's explore together!

Add labels to desktop
Please could you add the ability to add labels to the desktop.
Our desktop has many different graphs for different applications but we have to remember which graph is which. For instance, if you put 2 database graphs side by side, there is no way to know which one is which. If we could add labels to the desktop on the portal, we could use that to lay out different sections.

Want to save money on sound effects? Here's what's on sale right now
Order for $500 dollars or more & get a free copy of Krypton included!
You get (at least) 8+ GB free SFX with ANY order right now
"Slush and Wet Streets" is a library that contains 34 tracks (92 minutes total) that are recorded in winter urban environments. You will hear sounds of passing cars and people on slush, wet or snow-covered streets.
Atmospheres are recorded at different times of the day and night and at various locations. There are ambiences in the collection that track urban traffic at varying intensities, from an almost empty street with 1 or 2 pass by cars to busy traffic on a wet boulevard. Also, microphones are placed in different positions, from 2m to 30m from moving cars.
You will encounter sounds of people who walk in slush and snow, voices and other sounds typical of the winter urban environment. The library was recorded in Sofia, Bulgaria. All files are meta-tagged in Soundminer.
Gear used: Neumann KM184st, Rode NT4, Edirol R4pro.
Enjoy the winter streets.
Small crowd sound effect libraries can be hard to find – but here's the solution: The Small Crowds Outdoors SFX library gets you crowds samples from 1 to 15 people. 649 sounds are included in three mic placements each (MS near, MS far, ORTF rear), for a total of 1947 sounds.
Includes crowd reactions with everything from painful groans, excited cheering, roaring, short words, booing, applauding, whistling, panic screams, battle shouts, battlefield attack calls, monster grunts, ritualistic incantations and so much more.
This library was made for the small stuff. I have always had a hard time finding small fire sounds. I work mostly in games, and trying to find a small fireplace sound, or torches on the wall in a castle, or perhaps a candle or oil lamp sound, are impossible to find in commercial libraries! I've always been unhappy with what I had to make for those elements. So, I went to work getting small and delicate fire sounds.
It took multiple field recording trips using a variety of different materials to find the best small fire sounds. Finally, after a lot of hard work (and smoke to the lungs), here is the Small Fire SFX Library!
Meet this small amphibious hovercraft, which is beloved by locals in a archipelago. It has one engine to make it hoover and one to make it go forward.
The recordings consist of a 7 minute 41 second session from six onboard channels near the main exhaust, main engine, two front engine, hull front, and the propeller. The library also contains several startups, idle, stops, revving at constant RPMs standing still, and lots of driving at different speeds on both water and land. These are the sounds of pure fun!
Here is a simple sound library that can prove to be useful.
These are close perspective recordings of small click button of the real world (or some would say "analog" in differentiation from the digital world)
Only small machines button, switch, press,… see file list for details.
These sounds are well edited and ready to be used.
Small Motors – Volume 1 is a collection of pristine close mic recordings of electric and battery powered motors and mechanisms. It's the perfect source material for creating robot movement, sci-fi doors, alarms, futuristic devices, flying vehicles, alien technology and so much more.
Recorded and edited in 96K 24 bit with a stereo pair of DPA 4060s, this library contains over 30 different objects, including beard trimmers, blenders, drills, electric toothbrushes, epilators, hair clippers, juicers, toys, vacuum cleaners, sanders and many more.
It includes a variety of starts and stops, short and long takes and plenty of objects to choose from, selecting the perfect source material for your designs will be easy with this library.
This library is all about the small insignificant sounds that occur everyday in any small office along with some very special sounds made from those items. All sounds are recorded cleanly with many variations to choose from and named meticulously. They´ve also been noise treated and edited carefully to make the use a seamless experience.
Since a lot of the sounds very recorded very closely, they open up new possibilities to sound designer. Some of the sounds could easily be used for weapon or impact and other kinds of sound design.
Some of the categories used in this library are: paperclips, hole punchers, staplers, fax-machine, printers, shredders, lots and lots of paper variations, drawers, file cabinets, ringbinders, post-its, books, keyboards and more.
The Smart Fortwo is a unique everyday car. Under the hood, or rather under the trunk (it's a rear mounted engine) this hatchback sports a tiny 41hp diesel engine. Normally covered for obvious reasons, we opened it up to expose the engine and get some super clean onboard recordings from inside the car.
Also, because the Fortwo has a quasi-manual transmission, we were able to perform the gear changes with dramatic sequences in mind. So they are more pronounced, adding some character that is sometimes lost in a fully automatic transmission.
Included are a full set of exterior and onboard (engine/tailpipe) recordings at varying speeds as well as all the doors and a couple dashboard chimes.
smart:comp is the latest addition to the product line of A.I. powered plug-ins by sonible. This unique spectro-dynamic compressor finds the parameters for well-balanced compression results in just a few seconds. Through frequency-selective processing, smart:comp also ensures unparalleled transparency. With this multidimensional approach, compression has evolved to the next level.
smart:comp is the synergy of intelligently enhanced time-domain compression and trailblazing spectral compression. Behind the user-friendly and intuitive interface of this new plug-in, runs the smart:engine – an A.I.-based, content-aware system designed on the basis of psychoacoustic principles as well as extensive hands-on mixing experience.
The time-domain compressor recommends the most appropriate settings for threshold, ratio, attack and release with a single click, as the spectral compression dynamically keeps an eye on the tonal balance of the input signal.
The interrelated nature of compression parameters can make the crucial task of compression time-consuming and tedious. smart:comp significantly speeds up this process and delivers results with greater precision than ever, making it a valuable assistant for mixing and mastering professionals and aspiring talents alike.
Getting the best out of a track: content-aware parametrization and tonal balance
When activating the learning mode of smart:comp, the plug-in analyzes the incoming audio signal and sets specific parameters that result in well-balanced compression – all with the familiar look and handling of a single band compressor.
The spectral compression is all about giving a track the best possible definition and maximum transparency. By continuously analyzing the input signal across more than 2000 bands, smart:comp acts like an intelligent, ultra-high-resolution multiband compressor that dynamically smoothes out tonal imbalances. It only applies compression where it is really needed and therefore ensures a consistent tonal and dynamic balance at all times.
Creating space: frequency-dependent sidechain ducking
In order to seamlessly merge signals that compete for attention within the same spectral regions, smart:comp 'listens' for potential spectral clashes between the input and the sidechain signals, when operating in sidechain mode. By dynamically ducking affected frequency regions of the input signal, it creates space for the sidechain signal.
Users' choice – easy to use and fast
smart:comp comes with a lean and intuitive user interface that allows for easy handling of this high-tech tool. Although the plug-in greatly assists in creating a fast workflow when the smart:engine is activated, users retain their control over the final outcome and are able to access and adjust all essential parameters.
Similar to sonible's smart:EQ 2, the new compressor plug-in smart:comp comes equipped with profiles for different audio sources. These profiles allow smart:comp to optimally adapt its internal processing to the characteristics of the respective input signal.
"As compression is probably the most critical task in the mixing process, the development of smart:comp has been a fascinating challenge. Together with our engineering team, we wanted to take the next step in the evolution of audio compression – and now we can proudly say: We have taken it!"
smart:comp – key features
• Automatic, content-aware compression parametrization
• Spectral compression with sensitivity control
• Attack and release shaper
• Frequency-dependent ducking in sidechain mode
• Smart auto gain
Groundbreaking A.I. technology for transparent mixes
smart:EQ 2 analyzes your audio material and generates a custom filter curve to create a natural sounding tonal balance. Add clarity to your mixes, more punch to single tracks or carve out the harsh parts of your vocal recordings – in seconds and with unprecedented precision.
May we introduce you to your new go-to EQ
Refine your audio production workflow with the updated super-intuitive interface design of smart:EQ 2. Reach your mixing goals in less time without sacrificing sound quality. Additional M/S processing options allow you to fully control the sonic space of your tracks. Last but not least, the musical and natural sounding filters of smart:EQ 2 turn it into your new go-to EQ.
Collective intelligence
smart:EQ 2 includes new profiles for content-aware audio processing. Choose the profile for the sound source you are working with. The smart:filter will adapt to the characteristics of the signal. Edit, create, save and share your own custom made profiles. Build your personal library and transfer profiles to your friends and partners. smart:EQ 2 becomes a tool tailored to your personal mixing style.
The new adaptive equalizer from sonible continuously analyses audio signals and optimizes them in real-time. smart:EQ live has your back, so you can focus on the things that really count when mixing live.
Hand in hand: Fully controllable AI
smart:EQ live belongs to the latest generation of AI mixing assistants. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, however, sonible provides a sophisticated and powerful EQing tool. The plug-in provides detailed but intuitive controls and allows adjusting the algorithm to the mixing task at hand. Informed by years of hands-on experience, the practice-oriented selection of parameters facilitates a targeted adaptation and control of the smart:engineTM algorithm to your purposes. Bandwidth, responsiveness and the weighting of the autonomous calculated filter curve can be precisely defined. The threshold and the limit line of the smart-band primes the algorithm for the essential signal components. Custom-made profiles add even more flexibility by optimizing the smart algorithm for different source signals. The profiles tell the AI what kind of instrument or voice it deals with. Similar to a preset, the user can edit and save them individually.
All the world's a stage: from intimate concert to international broadcasting
In addition to helping to mix at concerts, smart:EQ live also brings significant advantages at corporate events and live broadcasting. The software is perfect for complementing other adaptive live technologies: it handles challenges like less-than-ideal microphone positioning or fast back-and-forth switching between different speakers without any artifacts.
On top of that, smart:EQ live can also function like a capable safety net. The adaptive filter banks are very resistant to feedback. They automatically detect and eliminate critical resonances. The smart-band intervenes long before the relevant parameters can be accessed manually by the user.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We'll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.

Possibly relevant excerpt from email Martin Hepp have send yesterday to GoodRelations mailing list: "[...] Also note that gr:ProductOrService is not disjoint from any other class in GoodRelations, so it is perfectly okay to e.g. offer a gr:Location for sale etc." -- http://ebusiness-unibw.org/pipermail/goodrelations/2013-December/000544.html It makes sense to me that one can offer pretty much any Thing - Book, Movie, Event, Place etc. I wonder if one can just state that same resource has multiple types just to use properties which support any of them?
