Partial re-opening of school for years 10 and 12
Date published: Tue 12 May 2020
Category: Academic
Tuesday May 12th 2020
Dear Parents and Carers,
Following the announcements and guidance released over the last two days, I am writing to update you on our plans to partially reopen the Bulmershe School for year 10 and 12. We will also be continuing to provide care provision for the children of key workers and those who have additional needs or are considered vulnerable. Please read the information in this letter carefully.
Firstly, it is important to remember that although the date of 1st June has been announced, this is a potential target date which could change. We will be working to this target date to be ready to receive children back into school anytime from 1st June.
As parents, you are not obliged to send your child to school during this time. Every family's circumstances are unique and I would encourage you to consider your own personal circumstances very carefully before returning your child to school.
School life will feel very different for us all when we return. Government guidance has been published to support student and staff wellbeing and schools are to take a flexible approach to how this is managed in context. The list below contains some examples of changes that are likely to happen in order to ensure pupils and staff are safe and well:
1. Staggered starts and ends to the school day to prevent groups of children and their parents mixing
2. Changes to daily routine
3. No mixing of staff or children between groups in school
4. Children bringing their own equipment such as pens & pencils to school
5. Classrooms rearranged to create space and accommodate no more than 10 in a class
6. Regular hand washing
7. No external visitors to school
8. An adjusted curriculum which will remain aligned with the distance learning provision
There may be more changes as plans develop and we will keep you informed accordingly. In short, our focus for reopening will be on keeping everyone safe and well.
Please note that the government has not recommended the use of PPE, in schools. Face masks will therefore not be provided by school and there will be no requirement for your child to wear one. Staff and pupils, however, may choose to wear a face mask or face covering.
I know that you are all very concerned and will have a lot of questions over the coming days. I would like to reassure you that the staff and I are considering every option available to us to ensure that all the children, whether they return to school or remain at home, continue to receive the very best that we can provide. I will be writing to you regularly to update you on our next steps and what this means for you and your family. I would be grateful for your patience over the next week as we work through the planning process.
Thank you once again for all that you continue to do to support your child at home and for the kind messages we have received over the last few weeks.
Take care
Amanda Woodfin

|Acne Prevention Tips and Home Remedies
Acne Prevention TipsUse a honey mask on a weekly basis. Honey is considered as a disinfectant and a great way for healing pimples. It can also kill bacteria found in your skin.
Cut your hair short if it's long. Hair has oil. When you are moving, dust particles often culminate in your hair, and as your hair touches your face, neck, or forehead, it can provoke acne or worsen an affected area.
Take a powerful multi-vitamin twice every day; the biggest organ—your skin
—requires proper nutrients to stay healthy.
Take vitamin A daily. It both protects your skin and prevents acne. Plus, vitamin A reduces sebum production.
Avoid over washing and rubbing or scrubbing your skin excessively. Acne is not caused by not washing or by having dirty skin.
Some people, especially students, have claimed that their acne grows worse when experiencing stressful situations. Advise: if it's in your power, cut down on stress.
Drink 8 glasses of water everyday. Water helps to clean and hydrate the skin.
Avoid alcohol-based creams and lotions.
Either change or wash your pillowcase everyday.
Eat food rich in zinc. A deficiency in zinc may cause acne breakouts.
Add a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables to your daily diet.
When you are undergoing much stress, breathe deeply. It has been discovered that there exists a direct connection between acne and stress.
Exercise regularly, for it helps your blood to circulate and to remove toxins.
Eat a well-balanced diet to reduce the reoccurrence of acne.
Choose your cosmetics very carefully. Sometimes what you wear to disguise acne can actually turn out to be the root cause of a skin disorder.
Acne Home Remedy TipsPut ripe tomato pulp on your pimples, and keep them there for as long as one hour. Next, wash the treated areas.
Apply the juice of raw papaya on your swelling pimples.
On and around your pimples apply fresh garlic. Pimples will fade away when this treatment is used regularly, not leaving a mark.
Drink wheatgrass juice; it can remove acne.
Create a paste from orange peel by grinding the peel in water. Then, apply this paste on and around your pimples.

Gems is now closed due to the coronavirus restrictions
We hope you are all safe and well
In the autumn of 1997 St Peter's Church was offered what remained of 'Pipsqueaks' equipment. The following January Lulu Button started a mother and toddler group for St Peter's as a service to the community and called it Little Gems. It soon became very popular, and with increasing numbers of new mums, the baby corner at Little Gems was under pressure so something had to be done. In September 1999 Lulu secured St Peter's church hall to hold an afternoon group and 'Baby Gems' was born. At that time there were no other groups especially for mums and babies apart from NCT events.
Time rolled by and the babies grew and it wasn't long before the mums were asking for different toys, space and a group where their children could play and explore without trampling on babies . So, in 2004 'Mini Gems' started on Mondays. The three groups continued for some years and it was only in the summer of 2010 with the advent of the Children's Centres and many more mums returning to work that 'Baby Gems' finally closed.
There have been holiday clubs, girls nights out, parties, picnics, outings, visits by police, firemen, fire engines, vicars, health visitors, entertainers, sales and we have hunted for thousands of chocolate eggs over the years. There have been lots of ups and downs, much fun, laughter, tears and of course many births; so many children have come and enjoyed time at Gems. It is a delight I see many of them come to St Peter's for end of term services.
The Gemmery, as it is now called, continues with Lulu Button running Mini Gems on a Monday and Little Gems on Tuesdays.

3 Common Event Pitfalls and How To Avoid ThemMonday, June 4, 2018
Your event may be months, even years in the making, but if you neglect to prepare for these very common issues, your extensive planning may be all for not. Make sure each of these issues is addressed during your planning stages and ensure a memorable, exceptional event.
Designate a Delegator
Regardless of how large your planning team may be, designate one chief organizer and allow then to delegate the big day. Too many bosses make for more confusion than order, so get in front of any disagreements by allowing one voice to run the event.
Make Guest Experience a Priority
There are no bad ideas in a brainstorm, but your event can quickly spin out of control if every great idea is included in the final product. Be judicious in planning and ensure that the guest experience is put before the organizer's pride.
Allow for Flexibility in Your Budget
Never assume your budget is locked down. Unexpected expenses are always lurking just out of sight. Prepare for them by making sure your budget is flexible and cleverly allocated.

A Discourse Approach to Athabaskan Grammar
Melissa Axelrod, University of New Mexico
This paper focuses verb composition in an indigenous polysynthetic language spoken in Alaska – Koyukon, a member of the Athabaskan language family. An examination of verb patterning and function in discourse supports a view of the complex Athabaskan verb itself as the locus for a grammar consisting of "a network of interrelated constructions" (Goldberg 1998:205).
This paper focuses verb composition in an indigenous polysynthetic language spoken in Alaska – Koyukon, a member of the Athabaskan language family. The paper begins with a description of the complex morphology found in this language. Polysynthetic languages typically have a great deal of synthesis (many morphemes per word) and a high degree of fusion (with the possibility of each morpheme representing more than one meaning and a high degree of opacity of morpheme boundaries). These languages tend to have multiple affixes which may express the bulk of the semantic content of a particular verb word, and a single verb can contain the meaning expressed by a full sentence in a non-polysythetic language.
Example (1) below provides an example of a polysynthetic verb in Koyukon.
(1) Edeghoyeneegheleedeneek
ede + gho # yenee # ghe + le + ee + de + neek
self + towards # mind # akt + asp + 2sgSubj + valence + stem = touch, feel
'Take care of yourself'
Note that the stem (the aspectually modified root) is at the rightmost edge of the verb, its last syllable. The stem is preceded by a series of prefixes. The first of these ede is a postpositional object meaning 'self' and it is followed by the postposition gho 'towards'.[1] This is followed in turn by an incorporated noun yenee 'mind' which is the verb's grammatical direct object. Following the object noun incorporate are prefixes indicating temporal notions, person and number, and finally a valence marker de, which in this case agrees with the indirect reflexive postpositional phrase. Notice that the stem neek has a very general meaning, 'touch' or 'feel', and it is the combination of stem plus prefixes that yields the whole verb word's meaning, 'take care of yourself'.
The level of complexity seen in Koyukon verbs raises the question of how a language like this might be learned. Research on construction grammar and verb learning (e.g., Goldeberg 1998, Tomasello 2003) is discussed and an application to languages with particularly rich morphologies is proposed. In previous discussions of the Athabaskan verb the string of prefixes preceding the verb root has been described as an ordered prefix template, an item and slot arrangement of inflection and conjugation markers. In contrast, I propose analyzing the prefixes as comprising constructions. Looking at verb formation in Koyukon as a layering of constructions, provides a view of the polysynthetic verb that is more in line with our notions of cognitive functioning and with the principles of language acquisition.
The first part of the paper describes how the notion of constructions, as defined by Goldberg (1995), can be applied to languages with particularly rich morphologies. I describe three separate but linked kinds of constructions that layer together in the composition of the Koyukon verb.
I then provide an examination of discourse from across the Athabaskan family, including folk stories, personal narrative, and conversation. Examples illustrate frequent patterns of verb structure occuring as chunks or formulae, supporting the proposal that verbs are learned as constructional forms. The examples show how patterns of repetition function to tie referents to the prior discourse and provide cohesion in the flow of information.

In an unusual line-up, the Supreme Court holds that states may collect sales taxes from online consumers via online retailers.
States will be able to force more people to pay sales tax when they make online purchases under a Supreme Court decision Thursday that will leave shoppers with lighter wallets. Retail trade groups praised the ruling, saying it levels the playing field for local and online businesses. The losers are online-only retailers, especially smaller ones, who will need to implement mechanisms to comply with various state sales tax laws.

El Doardo 15 YO, Special Reserve Rum
Demerara Distillers flagship brand, the El Dorado 15 Year Old Special Reserve Rum has been a Gold Medal winner for many years and voted "The Best Rum" at the International Wines & Spirits Competition held annually in London.
El Dorado Special Reserve can therefore be reckoned as the finest 15 year old rum on the market and is designed for long contemplative sipping.
In this blend of selected aged rums, each of the constituent rums is at least 15 year old.
The bold smoky rum is best enjoyed with just a splash of water but will add a rich flavor to almost any dark rum cocktail.
The 15 year old El Dorado rum from Guyana (South-America) is a special mix of rum distilled on some truly unique stills.
Demerara Distillers is the proud owner of the only operational wooden continuous Coffey still as well as the only operational wooden single and double pot stills in the world.
Rums from these stills, first located at the former Enmore, Versailles and Port Mourant sugar Estates, form the hart of this unique Special Reserve Rum.
Using other rums as well the 15 year old is blended to perfection by Demerara Distillers Master Blender making this rum is a true joy for connoisseurs.
The rums are aged in oak barrels in Guyana (South-America) with its ideal climate for ageing.
At temperatures of 30 – 34 degrees Celsius the oxidation process is more rapid and creates delicate aromas.
Under these conditions, unwanted congeners are absorbed easily by the oak wood.
The loss of these congeners is called mellowing and this process continues for as long as the rum is in direct contact with wood.
Most of the rums are stored in used Bourbon barrels sometimes re-charred on the inside to help impart more of the character from the wood.
Tasting Notes:
Dark mahogany and burnished bronze color rum.
Full nose packed with dark coffee, candied orange and dark fruit - prune, almonds, baked blackberries and oiled leather, dark chocolate with rich vanilla.
Beautifully rounded with such depth body and with all the nose and a wonderful sweetness, which invites you to taste the dark spirit.
Great spread of flavors across the mouth.
Deep, rich underlying fruit, super harmony.
Magnificent, long, well ordered finish of smoky oak, treacle, leather and cigar tobacco with just a touch of sweetness.
Recent Awards:
International Wine & Spirits Competition, London 2009 – Gold "best in class"
International Wine & Spirits Competition, London 2008 – Gold "best in class" & IWSC RUM Trophy – "Best rum in the world"
International Wine & Spirits Competition, London 2007 – Gold "best in class"
International Wine & Spirits Competition, London 2006 – Gold "best in class"
International Wine & Spirits Competition, London 2005 – Silver
This rum was also awarded the gold medal and voted "Rum of the year" in the "Internationaler Spirituosen Wettbewerb" held in Germany.
The Chicago Beverage Testing Institute awarded the Best Spirit and Platinum Medal to this rum.
The El Dorado 15YO Special Reserve Rum is packed in a gold embossed presentation box illustrated with a maritime design, underlying Demerara Distillers association with ancient maritime traditions.
The unique custom designed bottle was inspired by the shape of the old hand blown flasks used over centuries ago by the sugar planters on the banks of the Demerara River.
Bottled at 43 % alcohol by volume, 0.7 l.

The cost of Delhi's free power
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's move to offer free power has shaken up the power sector. The announcement shatters hopes of a shift to market-driven policies easing the pressure on power distribution utilities. Last week Kejriwal in a 'mega announcement' declared that Delhi residents consuming up to 200 units of electricity a month will get free power. Those consuming from 201 to 400 units will get a 50 per cent rebate. But is this power free? The Delhi government has allocated ₹1,720 crore (out of ₹1,790 crore under energy sector) for providing subsidies to consumers through Power Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) in the Budget 2019-20. In the Budget 2018-19, the Kejriwal government had provisioned ₹1,815 crore for the energy sector; this was reduced to ₹1,759 crore in the Revised Estimates.
The endorsement of subsidy sets the cat among pigeons for power sector players. They were hopeful of the Centre's push towards tariffs reflective of the cost of power supply and eventual phasing out of freebies. As per the Electricity Tariff Schedule for 2019-20 to be followed by DISCOMs, individual connections with a consumption of over 1,200 units have to pay ₹8 a unit, up from ₹7.75 a unit in the Tariff Schedule for the financial year 2018-19. A new tariff slab for non-domestic consumers has also been introduced in the new tariff schedule at ₹8.50 a unit. Overall, tariffs for other than individual connections have been hiked, reflecting higher cross subsidy in the new tariff schedule. The opposition parties in Delhi are quick to term Kejriwal's move as a political gimmick.
As per the law, setting power tariffs and fixed costs are a prerogative of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission, a declared independent body. But the Kejriwal government has been claiming credit for keeping tariffs under check too, raising questions on how independent these power distribution sector regulators are in the States.

The Not-So-Black-And-White Rules of Personal Finance
A lot of us understand personal finance from conventional wisdom that has been passed along through the generations or a basic economic class we took in high school decades ago. But many of these "rules" are out of date and need revamping. What was once a black and white area for our parents or grandparents in regards to finances may now actually be quite gray in today's economy.
Here are nine personal finance rules that may or may not need to be broken for you to experience true, sustaining wealth.
- No frivolous spending.
Our grandparents grew up in a time where spending money was viewed as a sin. But you can't cut spending altogether, regardless if it's "necessary" or "frivolous."
"If you don't ever splurge, you're going to feel frustrated and defeated and think, 'This is no fun.' You don't want to spend too much—or be scared of spending anything," says Maggie Baker, a psychologist who specializes in financial issues.
Life is too short to put all "fun" spending on hold while you attempt to accumulate as much wealth as possible. Be wise in how you spend your hard earned cash, opting to pay for experiences over things, because that will give you longer lasting happiness.
- Always use cash over cards.
By abiding by this rule, you're admitting that you can't handle the purchasing power of plastic. If you have the cash, it's actually the perfect time to use a card, as long as you are diligent in paying it off every month.
For purchases you would have made regardless, like gas and groceries, using a credit card is completely acceptable as long as you commit to paying it off at the end of the month before it accrues interest. Using a card helps build your credit report and you can earn valuable free rewards from credit companies as well.
- Carry a balance to build credit.
This rule is just wrong. It stems from the misinterpretation of how credit works. You do not need to carry a credit card balance to build a better credit rating; you simply need to use credit to do so.
Use your credit card wisely and pay it off completely every single month. This will show creditors that you are responsible and you'll also avoid any extra interest.
- Max out your 401k.
A 401k is an excellent way to begin saving for retirement. By all means, if your employer offers a company match, you should minimally meet that match, otherwise it's like throwing away free money.
Anything over that match is up to you. A wise financial planner will help you determine how to best invest your money, which may not be in the form of a traditional 401k. Other investments may yield a higher return.
- Take the largest mortgage the bank will give.
This is a misconception that got us into the recent catastrophic housing crises here in the US. Ultimately, banks do not have your best interest in mind. They're a business trying to make money, so the more you spend, the more they make.
To figure out a comfortable mortgage, this is a fairly good rule of thumb:
- Put at least a 10% down payment on a home, preferably 20% so you can avoid the extra PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) costs.
- Select a 15-year conventional home loan.
- Aim for payment amounts that do not exceed 25% of your monthly take home pay.
There is no magic number to determine your ideal mortgage. Everyone's situation varies. This is simply a good starting point for ensuring your mortgage doesn't drown your finances.
- Pay off your house before saving for retirement.
You should always try to pay off your home as quickly as possible, but this doesn't mean you can't also start investing for retirement at the same time. With compound interest, the earlier you begin saving, the more you'll have, exponentially, upon retiring. Continue to make faithful mortgage payments, but also establish yourself for retirement as soon as you can afford to. Anything left over can be applied as extra toward your mortgage payment every month.
- Tax refunds are good.
Wrong! Tax refunds, for the most part, are bad! Some people view a refund as "found money" and squander it right away. However, a tax refund is nothing more than the government holding onto your money and earning interest on it for an entire year!
By selecting fewer tax exemptions on your employer tax forms, you'll have more money now and will be less likely to splurge your refund come tax season.
- Never take a pay cut.
Career paths are rarely straight anymore and oftentimes require taking detours. While conventional wisdom tells you to only accept positions that increase your pay, we live in a time where there are other considerations to factor in.
Taking a lower paying position now may mean you get other incentives you're looking for, like the opportunity to branch out into something new, a job title you'd rather have than your current one, new professional experiences, better benefits, or moving to an area with a lower cost of living.
- Buying is better than renting.
This is not always the case. A few generations ago, renting seemed like "throwing away money," but that's not always true anymore. People are settling down later in life and renting is a very feasible way to accommodate this while you build wealth by other means. Also, if you can't take the previous recommended mortgage steps, renting is an affordable way to live until you can make a wise home purchase.
As you can see, not all financial rules are absolutes anymore. While many will still be black and white for some people, others may be gray. It's up to you to do your research to find out which rules of finance you should break or keep.

I only see one kind of Grails configuration labeled just "Grails". I was able to run a single integration test by creating a Grails config with the command line "test-app <name of my test class>". Is that the recommended approach? Surely this is not intuitive. In particular, right-clicking on a Grails integration test class should "just work", right now that creates a JUnit test configuration that is not initialized properly and fails.

Today the National Hispanic Medical Association informed the leader of the Customs and Border Protection Agency of the Department of Homeland Security about our strong concerns about the treatment of immigrants who are being detained for their Refugee/Documentation hearings.
The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of the Inspector General released its findings today from inspections of five Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities in south Texas in June. DHS found squalid conditions in several detention centers for migrant families and children in Texas, including serious overcrowding, minors going without hot meals for days, lack of clean clothes, and flu outbreaks. "We are concerned that overcrowding and prolonged detention represent an immediate risk to the health and safety of DHS agents and officers, and to those detained," the report said.
Under a 1997 court judgment referred to as the Flores settlement, the U.S. government is required to provide a certain level of humane care to children in its custody, including that any facility must be "safe
and sanitary." Flores requires that immigrant children "accompanied" by parents have to be released within 20 days. Due to the backlog and the immense numbers of immigrants, the detention centers have become overcrowded and unhealthy and very stressful for all involved.
We are very concerned and need more physician volunteers to provide care for our communities in Federal Detention Centers at the Border. If you or colleagues are interested — send us your name and contact information to Wanda Salcedo at email@example.com.

So that's it, it's all over! The wedding was amazing – as was the honeymoon – but it all went so quickly, I just want to do it all again.
The rain clouds parted and the sun was shining on the day, which meant we could get married in The Meadow at the Reid Rooms (thereidrooms.co.uk). I had my final dress fitting just days before, and was over the moon. The seamstress at Mia Sposa (miasposa.co.uk) in South Woodford did a great job for me, it was just as I wanted it.
On the day, I got ready in the Reid Room's Farmhouse, which is where my family and a lot of my friends stayed, but I made sure no one saw me before the ceremony. James Ruane (jamesruane.co.uk), our amazing photographer, was there taking shots while I was having my hair and make-up done by Emma Carvell (emmacarvell.piczo.com).
Before long, it was time to make the journey to The Meadow. Little did my guests know they would be taken by trailer, decorated in wedding garb, pulled by tractors – in keeping with the farm theme. I wish I could have seen their faces as they climbed aboard, the photos look great, and it was something people are still talking about today.
My three bridesmaids (my sisters) and our page boy (my nephew Callum), were taken to The Meadow before my dad and I made the journey. I was excited on the way there, it was only a five-minute drive, but it seemed to take ages! I was almost breathless with nerves, but that could have just been the corset-style dress.
When we pulled up, our classical singers, Martha Benyunes-Nockolds and Alexandra Roger, performed The Flower Duet as I walked down the aisle on my dad's arm towards Rich.
We had three readings, one from my brother-in-law, Glyn, another by my sister-in-law Noemi, and a final reading made up of seven of my best girlfriends, each reading a few lines from Always.
After the ceremony, Rich and I (despite the huge dress!) got into a small boat, which took us along The Meadow to where our guests were waiting. They all travelled back to the Reid Rooms for canapes, champagne and Pimm's served by our caterer Magpie Catering (magpiecatering.com).
While everyone was chatting, we posed for our scenic shots. James chose various scenarios, which gave us some fantastic alternatives to the usual poses. And he had brought an assistant (at no extra cost to us), who was taking photos of our guests to make sure every angle was covered.
Then it was time to make our way into the wedding breakfast room. We chose Sweet Tree By Rivera for our centre pieces (sweettreebyrivera.co.uk) – the three-foot-high edible trees were made out of Maltesers, marshmallows and lollies.
We also hired a vintage typewriter for our wedding book from Vintage Style Hire (vintagestylehire.co.uk) and my sister bought us a 'wedding fingerprint tree'.
Magpie Catering prepared and served our Moroccan-style platters to start, followed by a fish, chicken or veggie option with flavoured mash. For dessert, we ate our wedding cake from the English Cheesecake Company; (englishcheesecake.com), a four-tiered cheesecake topped with chocolate brownies and strawberries.
The speeches were amazing. My dad had everyone in tears of laughter, as did the best man, while my best friend Anucyia, who flew over from Malaysia for the wedding, made a lovely speech which made everyone sob!
After, it was time to hit the disco for our first dance. Ali Robertson was DJing and started to play our record, Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. As we began to dance, Rich pulled away, saying to her: "wait, wait; it's the wrong version."
Ali hunted around and began to play a DVD – a complete surprise. It was an American acapella group called Straight No Chaser. We had seen them support Katherine Jenkins in concert last year and I loved their version of the song.
Rich had been in touch with them and they had recorded a version especially for us (see video here). It was amazing!
The rest of the evening was a whirlwind blur of laughing with our guests and dancing to great music. It was such an amazing day and I'd like to say a huge thanks to everyone who made it extra special. The next day we were off for a Balinese adventure, staying at the stunning Alila resorts – the perfect way to end a magical day and to start our married life together.

After 1,000 days of the Trump Show, the capacity for surprise has long since diminished and comments or actions that would have sparked days of front-page coverage and howls from Capitol Hill now barely register. The shocker that consumed Twitter three hours ago is so quickly overwhelmed by the next one that it seems impossible to digest any single moment to assess its meaning or consequences.
"Unconventional" was the word the president himself used repeatedly on Thursday.
He used it specifically to describe his let-them-go-to-war policy with respect to two American allies, Turkey and the Kurds, followed by a cease-fire days later. All part of the plan, he assured Americans. Just a little "tough love" to get the two sides to resolve their differences.
Never mind that their differences are nowhere near solved, even as bodies are strewn in northern Syria, Kurds are forced out of their homes and Russia, Iran, Bashar al-Assad and even the Islamic State are celebrating.
"We were a little bit unconventional," Mr. Trump explained, offering his foreign policy doctrine in a setting that was itself a little bit unconventional, a Louis Vuitton workshop near Keene, Texas, where they make Parisian bags while cattle graze outside. The president had stopped by in between a Fort Worth fund-raiser and his Dallas rally to cut the ribbon on the new factory as a favor to Bernard Arnault, the luxury industry giant, bringing French sensibility to the Lone Star State.
"Louis Vuitton — a name I know very well," Mr. Trump said to laughter, even as he mispronounced the name he knows well. "It cost me a lot of money over the years."
Fortunately for him, his Trump National Doral near Miami will soon have plenty of new business as the leaders of not just France but also Germany, Britain, Canada, Italy and Japan — and maybe Russia — will descend on the club next spring along with thousands of officials, diplomats, journalists and others who attend each year's G7 summit meeting.

Losing weight, losing my mind
I've been eating an awful lot of spinach lately. That, or pecking on low-fat cheese sticks and, from time to time, my left arm. This is not a result of a newly developed obsessive compulsive disorder. I'm just awfully hungry.
Dieting has a way of doing that. Day 1 you tell yourself, "This is going to be easy. It just takes discipline." Day 2 your stomach starts to suck inward; it feels sort of like curdled milk looks. By Day 3 you gaze wistfully at every bite, caressing it with your eyes, willing it to last, wishing it would leave you feeling just a bit satisfied. (Perhaps you remember the old ballad, "I dreamed of pasta with its light brown sauce?")
Between meals, a radish never looked so seductive. And that's 20 minutes after clearing the dishes.
My current eating regimen is the South Beach diet, an eminently sensible approach developed by a heart specialist. It includes three meals a day and snacks between breakfast and lunch and again between lunch and dinner. The food is healthy -- vegetables by the bushel, fish and meat in whatever quantities keep you from going insane, salads galore. After a week I've lost 14 pounds, nearly halfway to my goal of 30. And I'm losing my mind.
For those of you who diet, I know you hear the same little voice: "There's got to be a better way." Even if I make it, I fear that the day I tip the scale at 190 pounds, my target weight, I'll lose myself in a vat of hot fudge sundae. Or down a dozen baked potatoes with butter and sour cream. Heck, fruit salad sounds awfully enticing right now. Or a piece of bread. Or a cracker with cheese. They're all forbidden.
"Don't you love all the fresh ingredients?" asks Kathy, head chef, cheerleader, my partner and taskmaster for 33 years.
No dear, fresh cilantro doesn't give me the chills.
Dieting must be done one day at a time. The first day we were in our conversational French class at Alliance Francais, the French Cultural Institute of Boston. Our teacher, a quintessential Parisienne from her carefree scarves to her brightly colored heels wrinkled her eyes just a bit before catching herself. "Diet?" she asked. "And why would you do that?" I'm too polite to probe, but I get the impression dieting in France carries the class of, say, drinking Coca-Cola with coq au vin. It's not the height of style. But just how do the French manage to eat great food, drink great wine and remain "les tombeurs" (the heartthrobs) of the civilized world?
One day at a time. Exercising helps. So, if you are a compulsive muncher like me, does locking the refrigerator and cabinets. This year I joined a gym closer to home. I'm going tomorrow, I promise. After two years of losing weight in spring and summer and gaining in fall and early winter, I'm determined to stay lean year round. And I'm doing this for a higher calling -- my longevity, not my waistline. At least I think so. For the past two years, my general practitioner has told me my cholesterol is fine but my triglycerides are high. This is what he told me about triglycerides: Absolutely nothing. He did, however, get me out of the office in four minutes.
Thankfully, the Internet provided what modern medical practice can't be bothered with -- a translation. Triglycerides, as far as I can figure, can sneak up on you. They've been linked with a higher rate of strokes, and I'm pretty brain dead already. So when I discovered the South Beach diet could lower triglycerides, I knew I could embark on it with virtue, not vanity..
Then a member of that troublesome French class put a boulder in the middle of my high road. Somewhere on the Internet, she discovered this bit of wisdom about health and dieting:
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausage and fats and suffer fewer heart
attacks than Americans.
CONCUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
Thankfully, we all know the Internet's facts are suspect. And radishes can be ravishing.

StopTech Sport Kit Axle Packs are pre-matched, direct-fit brake pad and rotor pairings designed to simplify brake service and brake system upgrades for virtually any car or truck on the road. They are the easiest way for drivers to replace their existing rotors and pads with high quality, premium feature, high performance components from the championship-winning team at StopTech.Available as front axle, rear axle or 4-wheel kits, Axle Packs simplify the upgrade process by providing application-specific, pre-matched systems, that take the guesswork out of mixing and matching individual components. The rotors and pads are carefully matched to provide optimal performance for a variety of specific vehicle and driver needs.
StopTech Sport Kit Axle Packs are ideal for sports cars and sport sedans that are routinely driven hard on the street, autocrossed or tracked.
StopTech Sport Rotors look great behind custom wheels, improve the initial bite of the brake pads, and help wipe away the debris that forms between the pad and the disc. A set of StopTech rear replacement Sport Rotors is a great way to match the aesthetics of a StopTech Big Brake Kit.
Most StopTech Sport Rotors are finished with black e-coating on both sides of the hat, inside the cooling vanes, and on the outside edge. E-coating is a superior electro-statically applied finish designed to withstand 400 hours of salt water exposure without rusting. This is especially important on both mounting faces of the hat where it touches the hub flange and back face of the wheel. Any accumulation of rust in these area can lead to installed lateral run out issues.
Power Alloy metallurgy is an exclusive feature of many StopTech rotors. In specific vehicle applications, StopTech works with foundry partners to increase the molybdenum or carbon content of the castings, and to carefully control the cooling rate during production to reach targets for hardness and tensile strength.
Nearly all StopTech 1-piece rotors have unique slot or hole patterns for the left and right sides of the vehicle. For these directional patterns, straight vane or pillar vane rotors are used to ensure that a drilled hole never touches a cooling vane.

Hopefully we get more footage in the coming days since we did see a number of cameras on the deck!
Check out Vans BMX Pro Cup – Sydney FULL RESULTS

Amid the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak and the advice set out by the Government not to leave our homes, there is naturally less property coming to the market. But for anyone who was interested in making a move before the pandemic, the market will return to normal once it's all over. The best thing we can do, is prepare.
As none of us can go out to the shops and buy nice new co-ordinating cushions and curtains to help stage our homes, here's our advice for what you can do to prepare your home for sale without leaving it. #stayathome #savelives
Use this extra time at home to give your home a real going over. Dusty lampshades, skirting, appliances, windows…areas that may often get missed out of the weekly clean need attention before you put your home on the market. Get the rubber gloves out and make it sparkle!
All those odd jobs that you keep meaning to get around to, now is the time. You may have already bought the paint to touch up those scuff marks on the walls; or perhaps it's a loose door handle or leaky tap. Buyers do notice the little things that go unnoticed to you, so make the best impression by completing your to-do list.
Kerb appeal is a huge pull for buyers and can make a huge difference when it comes to taking photographs. Pulling up weeds, jet washing the driveway and cleaning down the window sills at the front of your home are all things you can do during lock-down and don't cost a penny. Then, if you want to consider putting in some colourful plants post-pandemic, you can start doing some online research or put together a Pinterest board!
Indoor plants can create a more welcoming environment and it is said that they also have benefits on mental health and well-being. If you have any herbs outdoors or plant pots that you can bring inside to dress window sills, it will help to stage your home and hopefully lift your mood during these tough times.
And get organised! A huge factor that can deter a buyer is clutter, because whilst you are used to it, your buyer has to try and see past it to envisage their own belongings in your home. Take this opportunity to begin clearing out what you haven't used in the past 12 months, what you wouldn't want to take with you to your next home and then organise the stuff that's left in a way that is as contemporary as possible. Pinterest and Houzz are great places to look for inspiration on getting organized.
The best way to showcase a room, in any size home, is to give it a purpose. The spare room that you've been using as an office/guest room/dumping ground now needs to become a space that your buyers can visualise using. While most homes have a dumping ground of sorts, perhaps not the best way to promote the space! Follow step 5 and then pick one use for the room and clearly stage the room.
The aim here is to make buyers picture living in your home by creating inviting spaces. Have a think about areas that you can promote as homely. For example, perhaps you've got a nice throw tucked away that you can drape over an armchair; and add some pretty books to the side table next to it. This creates a reading area. Instagram and Pinterest are your friends here.
For the majority of buyers, it can be tricky to envisage living in a home that is already full of someone else's personal things. These are all distractions from the space that they are trying to view. Limit the number of photographs you have on display to a minimum and remove the kids' artwork from the fridge. It can all be put back as you like it when you're in your new home!

This post has already been read 592 times!
The Kremlin is guided by this saying, organizing informational campaigns that are beneficial to it and that can last for years with the help of controlled media, dishonest officials and populists.
And to the shame of Western democracy, freedom of speech and pluralism of opinion, it must be admitted that Moscow succeeds.
On October 8, the Dutch parliament unanimously voted to investigate the role of Ukraine in the crash of the passenger liner MH17 over Donbass in 2014.
This event was preceded by the demand on October 1 of the Christian Democratic Party (CDA) and the Socialist Party (SP) to initiate a "full investigation" of Ukraine.
Dutch Foreign Minister Stefan Blok, in turn, said that such an investigation is not an easy task, as it will require cooperation not only from Ukraine, but also from Russia.
It is Russia that is seeking its own participation in the investigation in order to directly influence the results, to replace investigative actions and evidence.
A month ago, Vladimir Putin said on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok that Moscow would not recognize anything without Russia's full participation in the investigation of the Boeing777 disaster.
In unison with him, Malaysia, as the Kremlin's longtime lawyer in this case, insisted on a new investigation involving Russia, given the "mistakes" made by the international investigation team (JIT). Kuala Lumpur also repeatedly raised the topic of responsibility of a country that did not close airspace over the war zone, and also spread frank misinformation, stating that Ukraine had lowered its flight level for flight MH17.
It is noteworthy that in early September, the Russian-Malaysian wave of the Kremlin's exclusion from involvement in the crash occurred immediately after the visit of Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev to Kuala Lumpur (08/27/2019), which discussed in detail with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad an investigation into the crash.
Obviously, after Malaysia came the turn of Europe itself.
After returning to PACE and completely ignoring the assembly of the findings of the MH17 investigation, Moscow has stepped up the process of dismantling the JIT, as well as the powers of the Security Council of the Netherlands (DSB), given to it by a UN Security Council resolution to investigate the disaster.
Thus, the Kremlin is completely destroying international institutions, the legal field and the very foundations of a democratic society.
Chris van Dam, a Christian Democratic MP, said on Twitter that Dutch MPs were worried about why Ukraine hadn't closed airspace over the armed conflict zone.
It should be noted that back in 2014, the JIT established that the Ukrainian authorities closed the airspace over the conflict zone from July 1 to the FL260 level (7900 m), and from July 14 to the FL320 level (9750 m).
These data are also confirmed by the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation – the airliner was on the authorized flight level FL330 (10,050 m), which significantly exceeds the ceiling of flights of the military transport aviation of Ukraine, which suffered significant losses on the eve of the incident.
It was also established that Ukrainian air traffic controllers offered Boeing pilots to change the level to an even higher level, which they refused.
But the Dutch parliamentarians, initiating the question of investigating the role of Ukraine in the disaster, do not mention the long-established facts. They operate on the results of a survey conducted this year, which showed: 87.5% of the relatives of the victims believe that Ukraine should be held accountable.
The Russian media consider progress that the Dutch parliament raised the question that Kiev, having allowed criminal negligence, should be brought to justice.
Moreover, they are already forming the following agenda: with an objective investigation of Ukraine's involvement in the disaster, conclusions about Russia's fault will crumble to dust.
This means that as the date of the meeting of the Hague Circuit Court approaches (03/09/2020), exclamations about the Kremlin's non-involvement in the death of the liner and calls for the lifting of sanctions will sound more often and louder.
In conclusion, it should be noted that, despite the decision made in Amsterdam, parliamentarians themselves do not depart from the position of Russia's guilt.
During the debate in the House of Representatives, confirmation of this sounded repeatedly. Therefore, the official version that the plane was shot down by Russian "Buk" from the territory not controlled by Kiev is not called into question.
Let us hope that the Dutch understand that the will of others is more terrible than captivity.

Hi, everyone! How are you all and how was the weekend? We got our girl back from Thailand, and she was a sight for sore eyes! We were so happy to have her here over the weekend before heading back to Austin. She LOVED Thailand and looks and feels so much better! It was so fun to hear all about the Ashram where she stayed, the yoga program, the people she met, the food, and how she is changing her life for the better (in a healthy way). She came back a vegan! We all tried to eat that way this past weekend, and though I know it can be a healthy way to eat (all depends on your body type), I'm not sure I can go without fish and chicken. She's also looking for cute faux leather shoe brands if anyone knows where she can get those. Anyway, today I am throwing some fall vibes your way with this adorable and affordable boyfriend style blazer.
An Adorable and Affordable Boyfriend Style Blazer
I am a Fall clothes kind of girl! Spring and Summer clothes are just a necessity for me. When August hits the calendar, I get so excited for Fall clothes, and all I want are plaid and fall colors (pumpkin spice is next!). Lately, I have been seeing plaid boyfriend style blazers everywhere from Neimans to H & M. I love this boxy style done in a menswear plaid and, did I mention how adorable and affordable it is? Also, I ordered these jeans (on sale) and loved the way they look with the blazer. I paired the blazer with a rust color tank (because it was scorching out) but will wear a tee with it most of the time in this rust color and white.
The Square Toe Is A Big Trend For Fall
The booties are my new fall purchase. They are a splurge (I thought about them for a month for purchasing), but I know I will wear them regularly. Additionally, they have a square toe (a big trend for fall) and a fun shaped lower heel. They are also available in black leather and green suede. The leather is incredibly soft, and they are so comfortable that I am debating about getting them in black as well. I am a size 8M in shoes and typically get an 8 1/2 in most boots. I took a 7 1/2 in these.
I have the busiest day today. First, I am shooting a few things for the blog this morning (trying to beat the heat) then running a lot of errands. Also, I have to pack, and that gives me such anxiety! I am headed to Florida tomorrow for a fun trip with Soma Intimates. There are eleven other bloggers/influencers going, and I am so excited to see one of my best buddies from Nashville, Brooke Webb, of KBStyled.com/. When I lived in Nashville, Brooke was one of two bloggers that I spent a lot of time with, and she is a doll! I am so grateful that I get to go on this trip. One of the best perks of blogging is getting to meet other women who do what I do. I have met some of the loveliest women and have made life long friends from all over the country!
Have a great Monday and stay cool and hydrated!

Roush Fenway Racing's Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won't be the only person honoring Darrell Waltrip on Sunday, but he'll be the one doing it with the most style.
For Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350, Stenhouse will run a special throwback paint scheme to honor Waltrip, who will retire from NASCAR broadcasting after the race. The scheme will feature a chrome-colored No. 17 and resemble the car that Waltrip drove in the Cup Series from 1987 to 1998.
"Darrell Waltrip has meant a great deal to our sport as both a competitor and a member of the broadcast media," RFR owner Jack Roush said in a statement. "The thing that stands out to me about Darrell is that after I just announced I was starting the team with Mark Martin, I was invited into a driver's meeting that season.
"Darrell Waltrip was one of the first to welcome me into the fold and say 'come on in Jack, we are going to have a lot of fun with you' and we sure have over the years."
Check out these shots of the No. 17 Ford Mustang that Stenhouse will drive at Sonoma Raceway:
Pretty sharp, if you ask us.
And here's the car being loaded into the No. 17 team's hauler before the trip to California:
Finally, here are some cool photos of Waltrip's No. 17, courtesy of late NASCAR artist Sam Bass:
"With as much as he's done in the sport on and off the track, Darrell will definitely be missed," Stenhouse said in a statement. "I have enjoyed all the sit-downs and seeing his passion that he has for the sport.
"I've gotten to pay homage to him with two Darlington throwback schemes so it will be extra special to drive his iconic paint scheme for his last appearance in the booth."

A Little Riot: Matthew McMilon's Re-Presentation of Gender Identity | KCET
A Little Riot: Matthew McMilon's Re-Presentation of Gender Identity
Matthew McMilon wants you to see it all. And he's not afraid to show it.
With a bold marriage of his passion for sociology, gender and sexuality studies, Matthew McMilon's art is a bit like walking into a stranger's house for the first time. Each work echoes something private, moving and all too familiar. McMilon deftly presents moments of transitional intimacy.
Born and raised in the Inland Empire, McMilon's formal art education first began when he attended and later graduated from the University of La Verne with a B.A. in 2008, dual majoring in Studio Art and Gender Studies. Upon completing his degree McMilon took up a few odd jobs including employment with non-profit organizations as well as a brief stint as a hairstylist. Ultimately deciding to further his education in the arts by pursuing a Master's degree, McMilon teetered between moving back east to attend rural Vermont's Goddard College and California State University San Bernardino's MFA program. McMilon was eventually won over by the prospect of a larger studio space while being able to remain close to his family, and so the 32-year old visual artist entered into his first year of graduate school in San Bernardino.
For McMilon, the largest influence for his work remains as a constant search in finding ways to tear down preconceived notions revolving around gender and sexuality. Specifically in regards to his most recent works is an attempt to conjoin all of the different mediums he currently works with, including photography, painting, and clay. Most heavily influenced by interdisciplinary and multi-media artists, a few of his personal icons include Ida Applebroog, English artist Tracey Emin and Frida Kahlo. The artists who interest him include, as McMilon puts it, "anyone that blends personal elements. That's the kind of artist that I strive to be. Someone who's not afraid to overshare or say too much. I try to put things out there and not care too much about the consequences."
As for working and creating art in San Bernardino, work that often deals with issues pertaining to the LGBTQIA community, there's a small revolutionary struggle that takes place within McMilon's studio every day. But rather than fleeing to produce art in more openly liberal cities such as San Francisco, McMilon has instead chosen to be inspired by his surroundings and work through the barriers others might not choose to cross.
"I think that all of us in this area are constantly being belittled and scrutinized because of where we come from and that this is basically seen as a less than environment," he says. "I think it's totally untrue and I'd like to dispel some of those myths. But, at the same time, I do feel like this is a very oppressive place, a very homophobic place, a very racist and sexist place. Still, I prefer to stay where I'm at and try to have a little riot."
With a whirlwind of intimate, behind the scenes looks into McMilon's personal life, the artist's unabashed candor translates into moving poetry, depicting a life of pain and joy that anyone of any gender or sexual orientation can find relatable whether that work reflects the untimely demise of a relationship or the beauty shared within a lover's arms.
Story continues below
His recent solo exhibition, "Re-Presentations" at The Dutton Family Gallery in San Bernardino is a nod to this idea, perpetually luring the viewer into a brief, yet detailed glance into his private affairs, sharing everything from a nude embrace to a re-polished engagement ring.
Among the works included within "Re-Presentations" are a few modestly sized paintings that exude a fluidity that mimics the re-occurring theme of transition, metamorphosing from a soft, flat use of color to more impasto styled compositions. Joyfully splatted with strips of pink, silver and white that have dried while dripping down the canvas, each painting is juxtaposed alongside performance stills depicting those closest to McMilon. A best friend of 15 years poised bare and an out of focus significant other at rest are among those included. With photographs that blur the lines of femininity and masculinity, the subjects' ambiguously gendered bodies shine through with a sort of bittersweet gentleness that could only be conveyed by someone close enough to care. Moving through an array of mediums that transcend the first, second, and third dimension, McMilon's sculptural works such as "Moonlight Bay," "2014" and "The Invocation and Subsequent Burial of Your Ghost, 2014" delicately outline the decay of McMilon's decade long relationship, each vessel preparing for its inevitable May, 2014 burial at sea.
With a body of work that explores not only aspects specific to McMilon's own life experiences but re-examines queer identity entirely, his art remains invigorated with a lasting vibration that consistently walks the line between gender politics and autobiographical narrative.

General Electric will establish a new independent Internet of Things (IoT) company from the GE Digital business and several of its technologies, according to the company.
The new company will start with $1.2 billion in yearly software revenue and an established global customer base. It is intended to be a wholly GE-owned, independently run business, but with a new brand and identity. It will have its own equity structure and also its own board of directors.
"As an early leader in IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), GE has built a strong business with its industrial customers thanks to deep domain knowledge and software expertise," said GE CEO H. Lawrence Culp. "As an independently operated company, our digital business will be best positioned to advance our strategy to focus on our core verticals, deliver greater value for our customers and generate new value for shareholders."
Also, GE Digital CEO Bill Ruh is leaving to pursue other opportunities, and the company will search both internally and externally for a replacement. GE plans to announce more details about the new venture in the first quarter of 2019.
GE also announced it has agreed to sell a majority stake in ServiceMax, a provider of field service management software, to Silver Lake, a private equity firm that focuses on tech investments. GE acquired ServiceMax in November of 2016 for $915 million. GE will retain a 10 percent equity in ServiceMax.
"ServiceMax has a strong foundation of customers inside and outside the GE customer base," said Scott Berg, CEO of ServiceMax. "In Silver Lake, we have found a partner with a technology growth mindset and unique expertise in separating companies into standalone businesses. Joining the Silver Lake family will provide the investment we need in continued technology development and market expansion in areas where we have seen significant traction, such as medical devices, construction and manufacturing industries. The new company structure gives us both the flexibility to provide solutions to all industrial manufacturers and the strategic backing of GE to continue to pursue the industrial asset operator markets."
