What is the Role of the Inspector and How Does Priestley Use Him to Reveal Ideas about the Birling Family and Society in General?
Extracts from this document...
What is the Role of the Inspector and How Does Priestley Use Him to Reveal Ideas about the Birling Family and Society in General? Written by J.B. Priestley in 1945, An Inspector Calls is a play that follows the story of the Birling Family and their dealings with a woman, Eva Smith. The Birlings are a wealthy family and are happily celebrating an engagement when their evening is rudely interrupted by a police Inspector investigating the death of a working class girl. Throughout the course of the evening, the Inspector deftly uncovers their dirty little secrets and each of their involvements in the girl's death. The play is set in an industrial town in the Midlands called Brumley. During 1912 in the Edwardian era, when the play was set, life was hard for the poor and even harder for women. There was very little help available for people and only the very desperate were given aid and even then they were sometimes not given enough. The local workhouse was available for the sick, old or handicapped but this was an unpleasant place. Women in 1912 were treated as inferior and they could not often do what men could; they were not allowed to vote, they were unlikely to go to university and get decent job and they were expected to give up their jobs once they were married. ...read more.
The Inspector's direct language makes the characters feel guilty and adds to the dramatic tension. When interrogating the characters, the Inspector treats each character differently. The second character that he questions is Sheila who he questions after Mr Birling. Sheila is treated less harshly by the Inspector, probably because she is a woman and in 1912, women were protected from unpleasant things. However, Sheila is more ready to answer the Inspector's questions and accepts the blame. She is greatly affected by her actions and is 'distressed' and begins 'crying'. Ready and willing to accept full responsibility Sheila asks the Inspector 'so, I'm really responsible?' but the Inspector, sympathetic towards Sheila because she has realised what she has done, says that it is not just her to blame, however he doesn't coat the situation in sugar for her just because she is a women; he makes sure that she cannot deny responsibility once she has accepted it. Eric reacts in a similar way to his sister, fully accepting his role in Eva's death. However, what Eric did is too much for the Inspector to sympathise with him. The Inspector, however, treats the two older Birlings in a totally different way, as they are stuck in their old ways and are too concerned about their social standings to care about what the Inspector has to say. ...read more.
She wanted twenty-five shillings...you made her pay a heavy price for that'. Because Eva wanted a better life she ended up dead; this echoes the times of the play when the poor could not better themselves. Before leaving, the Inspector has a final speech which conveys Priestley's views on society. The Inspector says 'we are responsible for each other'. Priestley, through the play, has shown the audience how only caring for yourself and your own can destroy people's lives and so he is trying to express the message of helping other people. Some commentators on the play have suggested that the Inspector's name, 'Goole', has something to do with his true identity which isn't revealed in the play. 'Goole' sounds similar to 'ghoul'; ghouls are sometimes raised to avenge deaths, like the death of Eva, or it may be indicating that the Inspector is a fake as ghouls are not real. However, what or who the Inspector actually is isn't as important as the messages he puts across throughout the play. The role of the Inspector in the play, An Inspector Calls is to show people that caring for each other and looking after each other is a good thing; Priestley is putting across his socialist views in an easily understood way so his message can reach a wider audience. The message is easily comprehended as it is shown in the play how selfishness is bad and how helping each other is good. However, his message comes across without preaching it, so more people are likely to accept it. ...read more.

As you noted in "Tuition has gone ballistic," college tuition costs are rising rapidly. As a finalist in the Honored Scholar Program of the National Alliance for Excellence, I have found that the greatest obstacle to receiving financial aid is finding merit scholarships that do not also require financial need.
Many middle-class families with gifted students are just high enough on the income bracket not to qualify for need-based aid but have insufficient funds to pay for ever-rising tuition costs. As a result, many extremely bright young people are unable to reach their full potential through a quality college education. Merit-based scholarships are essential if America is to protect the education of her finest and best.

PHILADELPHIA — The problem now is do you compare Ubaldo Jimenez to Roy Halladay or Halladay to Jimenez?
Jimenez leads baseball with 15 wins. Halladay leads the league with seven complete games. Halladay is as consistent as Boulder's atomic clock, and as dominant as any Broad Street bully. The former Arvada West star made quick work of the Rockies in the Phillies' 6-0 shutout win Friday.
"He mixes in a sinker, cutter, curve, and none of them are over the middle of the plate," Rockies outfielder Seth Smith said.
As is his custom, Halladay worked deep into the game. In his last three home starts, he has allowed one run in 26 innings. Only the Phillies' lead kept him from walking out for the ninth. Jimenez, who gets the ball today in what has become a critical game on this clumsy road trip, was baseball's best pitcher for the first two months.
On a muggy, 92-degree night at soldout Citizens Bank Park, there was no question who had the game's top arm.
Halladay toyed with the Rockies like a cat pawing at yarn. There were no loose threads. He allowed five hits, and only one Rockie reached third base.
"I didn't pitch exactly where I wanted," said Halladay who is 11-8 with a 2.28 ERA, "but I think I did a good job of keeping them off-balance."
Watching the Rockies over the past week, it's hard believe they are a playoff team. They look out of sorts, in large part, because they haven't hit. They are batting .191 on the trip (50-for-262), and have scored two runs or fewer five times.
"It just seems like we have never had three or four guys hot at the same time," Ian Stewart said.
The Rockies seem to be playing themselves out of contention. The fans' understandable frustration, however, doesn't reconcile with the standings. As poorly as the Rockies have performed in this three-city meltdown — their starters own a 4.79 ERA after Aaron Cook was pummeled for five runs — they remain within arm's reach of the wild card.
They sat two games behind the Giants, pending the outcome of their late game against Arizona. The reality is that Troy Tulowitzki's absence looms larger every day. The Rockies are 17-13 without him. He is expected back Tuesday, but even his presence won't matter if Brad Hawpe — he has two home runs since April 21 — or a mystery player starts hitting for power.
Cook wiggled out of trouble in the first and second thanks to terrific defensive plays by Smith and Jason Giambi. But the Phillies torched him in the fifth, Raul Ibañez's two-run double and Ross Gload's two-run home run the crucial blows. Gload is 7-for-9 against Cook, who fell to 1-6 on the road.
"It's disappointing. They put some good swings on the ball," Cook said. "And I left some pitches up."
There are three games remaining in Philadelphia. There's time to turn off the hazards, the Rockies insist, time to return to Denver with something besides a leaky transmission and tire tracks on their chests from getting running over by some of the game's best pitchers.
"We can salvage this," manager Jim Tracy said. "That's how we have to look at it."
Troy E. Renck: 303-954-1301 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Looking ahead
TODAY: Rockies at Phillies, 2:10 p.m., KDVR-31
Ubaldo Jimenez (15-1, 2.38 ERA) has not been dominant for four weeks, dealing with mechanical problems and pitch selection issues. Against the Marlins, Jimenez foolishly threw a changeup to Mike Stanton, the result a home run that cost him a victory. Jimenez has lost only one road start this season but has allowed at least four earned runs in five of his last six starts. Kyle Kendrick (5-4, 4.82) returns from Triple-A because of Jamie Moyer's potential career- ending injury. Kendrick has been torched for nine home runs in 42 innings at home, and Seth Smith (6-for-7) gives him fits.
Upcoming pitching matchups
Sunday: Rockies' Jeff Francis (3-3, 4.63 ERA) at Phillies' J.A. Happ (1-0, 0.00), 11:35 a.m., FSN, TBS
Monday: Rockies' Jason Hammel (7-5, 4.23) at Phillies' Joe Blanton (3-6, 6.03), 1:05 p.m., FSN
Tuesday: Pirates' Zach Duke (4-9, 5.22) at Rockies' Jorge De La Rosa (3-2, 5.65), 6:40 p.m., FSN
Wednesday: Pirates' Ross Ohlendorf (1-8, 4.39) at Rockies' Aaron Cook (4-6, 4.78), 6:40 p.m., FSN

Exam 2 , check offs, calculations test
The past week has been very busy.
On Tuesday 10/25/12 last week I took my drug calculations test and made a 95. The one I got wrong it was because I forgot to enter one of the numbers into the calculator.
On Thursday 10/27/12 I volunteered to go first for my lab section doing check-offs for Sterile gloves, sterile dressing, and medication administration. I was a little shaky in performing but was proficient in all requirements. 🙂
Yesterday (Tuesday, 10/2/12) I took my second exam in my Nursing 111 class. It covered, Communication, Collaboration, Teaching/Learning, Legal Issues, Ethics, Advocacy, Tissue Integrity, Infection, Inflammation, Comfort (pain and sleep) and Mobility. The test was 50 multiple choice and "select all that apply" (SATA). My final grade, after some questions were thrown out was an 84/C – one point from a B. — So I'm still not at my goal of having a B average, but I'm close.
Next on the list of things to learn is Physical Assessment! 🙂 — I really enjoy learning about this, so I'm excited with what we have already learned in class. Hard to believe that check-offs for it are next Friday, and clinical is just around the corner!
At the dojo we had testing Saturday and Silas received his brown belt. Five ladies received their orange belts, two Harris kids received yellow, and lil Eric, Conrad, Emerson, and Rainbow all received their blue belts. It was a productive day!
This past Sunday was "Sunday Celebration" where the RM and Nashville campuses came together to celebrate. I witnessed 10 babtisms, 2 baby dedications, and communion. It was a great service and I'm really looking forward to going again this Sunday! 😀

Growing Gratitude
Earth Mama 101 writes: Every Monday I will be posting…a "growing gratitude" post. Basking in our own state of gratitude as well as the gratitude of others always seems uplifting to me. Plus, I always love a good positive start to the beginning of each week.
I am linking up with her this week as part of an ongoing gratitude practice.
This week I am grateful for my mom who has dementia. My siblings and I share her care-our plan is that she spends 6 months in NH during our warmer months and 6 months in Florida during their cooler months. Caring for someone with dementia is very hard but she is not ready for a nursing home yet. Despite its challenges I am grateful to be able to give her loving care. She brought me into this world and cared for me, now I can do the same and make the days before she leaves this world joyful.

Have your summer outings taken your family to a planetarium or a space exhibit at a science museum, or did you take a trip to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida? Maybe you enjoyed camping at a state or national park under a starlit sky.
Whatever your adventure, capture the memory with a space-age craft that's fun, practical and will keep your child's curiosity about space alive. Decorate a plain, smooth lampshade you already have, or purchase an inexpensive version to create your night-sky theme. With just a few supplies from around the house, you and your kids can make an out-of-this-world shade to brighten a bedroom or family room.
Here's the stuff you'll need:
–Plain, standard smooth white lampshade
–Sheets of tissue paper in several colors (we used navy blue and shades of purple)
–Household white glue diluted with a few drops of water to create a milkshakelike consistency
–1-inch glow-in-the-dark adhesive-backed stars
–Darning needle
–Sturdy craft wire
–Medium and large buttons, beads, star-shaped charms and baubles with holes
Here's the fun:
1. Tear tissue paper into 1-inch-by-1-inch pieces. This is a fun job for preschoolers. Older children might prefer cutting straight-sided squares or rectangles with scissors.
2. Set the lampshade on a newspaper-covered work surface. Paint an outside section with the glue-and-water mixture over the top of the tissue paper and smooth each piece out with your fingers. When the shade is covered, finish it off with a coating of glue and water. Let dry.
3. Attach glow-in-the dark stars here and there on the tissue-paper-covered exterior, then use the darning needle to poke about 6-8 holes evenly around the top edge of the shade.
4. Now it's time to put planets and stars jutting outward in space, circling the shade. Start with a 10-inch length of wire. Poke and twist in place one end through the holes of a large flat button to represent a planet or the sun. Loop the opposite end of the wire through one of the holes in the shade.
Bend the wire outward so that it looks like it is suspended in space around the shade. Continue attaching a single charm, bead or button to additional pieces of cut wire to represent the International Space Station, the moon, stars and even a rocketship. Vary lengths. The sky's the limit when it comes to expressing your creativity.
5. Attach the shade to your lamp base to light up a desk, night table or dresser.

Gold hematite is the stone of inner peace, eliminating negativity and increasing intuition. It offers emotional balance, strength and grounding energy and reminds you that the only limitations in existence are the ones you place on yourself. Crafted with an elastic fit, semi-precious six-millimeter gold hematite beads are detailed with a hematite crystal and a brass spira logo charm or brown agate beads, hematite crystals and a brass hamsa evil eye charm.
Made in the United States.
Details: Elastic fit bracelets are available in three sizes. Each comes with an Eye of the Sea linen pouch and a gemstone meaning card. Beads and signature charms are from Greece. Colors and sizes of the beads may vary slightly, making each bracelet unique.
Care: Beaded bracelets are handmade from high quality semi-precious beads and metal components from Greece. Some metal components are highly sensitive to chemical elements, and can tarnish or lessen in luster over time. You should avoid extreme temperatures, body oils, perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics. We do not recommend sleeping, showering, swimming in chlorine or salt water, or exercising in this jewelry. If your bracelet gets wet, please dry it off. Exposure to the elements can cause the elastic cord that holds the bracelet together to weaken, and may contribute to it stretching or breaking in the future. To ensure the best care, roll the bracelet on or off your wrist, instead of pulling or stretching the elastic cord and beads. Repetitive pulling over time can cause the elastic to stretch and weaken.

|Bubble Panel Wave
Watch as glimmering bubbles make their way softly upward through the water filled panel. This bubble feature has a channeled acrylic panel for optimal bubble flow and integrated flourscent illumination with several colored light filters.
Bubble panels are enclosed water features with air pumped into the water through small holes. Bubble pillars are constructed with the highest quality clear cell-cast acrylic for optimum clarity and luster. This non-yellowing U.V. stabilized acrylic is ideal for the manufacturing process because it is as optically clear than glass and seventeen times stronger.
Each acrylic sheet is measured and cut to size with diamond-tipped precision. These highly scratch resistant acrylic panels are then sent to the drilling department to cut out notches and drill holes. Next, the panels are locked in a form for bending into one permanent piece. At the chemically precise point, the acrylic is removed and cooled into shape. Water features then proceed to the polishing department where any rough edges are removed. All edges are then flame polished to a clear luster finish.

oops sorry guys a bit late today... I had something else planned for you but unfortunately uni has been taking a little more of my time than usual... so here is tomorrow's post today!!
So how can you not think about Piñata's when you think of anything Mexican? I LOVE making Piñatas, they don't often end up getting smashed but I LOVE making them! I made 'E' and 'J' ones for the wedding, I made some more for the last Mexican party we had, I made a monster one for my nephew and a few weeks ago I made a clover Piñata for St Patrick's Day. I guess once you start you can't stop.
1. Cut out your shape on some cardboard (I usually use cereal boxes but alas we had none at the moment) trace around it and cut another one so you have two sides that are roughly the same
2. Cut yourself a middle section and tape tape tape away!! (see my other tutorial or this one on Oh Happy Day! if you need more help)
3. Now is a good time to grab a hole punch and make a hole to string your piñata up
4. I find it useful to cut all the strips you think you might need straight up so when things start getting messy you don't have to wash your hands a thousand times (for this one I used 1 sheet of each colour cut into 4)
5. Tape or glue your fringes on starting from the bottom and working your way up - you might need to cut normal paper (unfringed) to cover the difficult spots like the nose and under the 'tummy'
6. Attach a string, fill with lollies and destroy at your will!!

Current Projects
Current Projects
In accordance with our goal of promoting the a deeper understanding and also a more widespread knowledge of Medieval Canon Law, the Institute is currently supporting the following projects:
After many years of preliminary work by A. De Groot, further work was made possible with support of the Free State of Bavaria and carried out by R. Sorice in Munich, Leipzig and Troyes. De Groot's provisional edition was produced in 1996; the version prepared by R. Sorice for the MIC was published in Rome in the beginning of 2003 as MIC, A, 4.
Edition by G. Motta und G. Picasso, book 1 and 2 available: Joseph Motta, Collectio canonum trium librorum, pars prior, Liber I et II, MIC, B, 8, Roma 2005. Book 3 is still in preparation.
Here again the support of the State of Bavaria made possible the continuation, by O. Condorelli, of the preliminary work done under the direction of U. Prerovsky. O. Condorelli proofread the text of the first 18 Distinctiones which was then checked by R. Weigand and P. Landau using the notes made by F. Gillmann. This text is ready to go to press as the first volume of an edition in the MIC series.
The work begun by Rudolf Weigand and his team is being continued and brought to completion under the direction of P. Landau and Stephan Haering. Under the sponsorship of the DFG, the group, Waltraud Kozur, Karin Miethaner-Vent and Martin Petzold, have been working continously to prepare these enormous texts for publishing. The first volume, Pars I and Causa 1 (Fotos-word.doc) of Honorius' Summa Decretorum is already available (MIC A 5, Rom 2004). The next volume being prepared for the publisher is Pars I of the Summa Lipsiensis.
The next to follow are: Pars
II of the Summa Decretorum
Vol.2 (Causae 2-22), and Vol.3 (Causae 27-36) and of the
Summa Lipsiensis, Vol. 2 and 3 (Causae 1-36) and 4 ('De consecratione')
and Distinctio 1 and 2 of the Summa Quaestionis are still in preparation
Vol. 1, (Distinctio 1), Vol. 2, (Distinctio 2 and Distinctio 3 'De iure
naturali'); Distinctio 3 (Law of Marriage) was published in B. Grimm, Die Ehelehre des Magister Honorius,
Studia Gratiana 24, Rome 1989.
Of the planned third volume - the first two volumes have already been published in co-operation with the DHI Rome - there exists a rough version which was drawn up in Berkeley. The continuation is a rather complicated project because of the departure of the previous editors and the relocation of the Institute from Berkeley to Munich. With information supplied by M. Bertram, Rome, as well as data rescued from Berkeley, G. Dolezalek, Leipzig/Aberdeen, was able to make a preliminary assessment of the project materials on site in Rome. Currently the project can be worked only on sporadically due to the lack of resources. As a preliminary stage of the work and an aid to future efforts on the project, G. Dolezalek and a team are working to build up a database of the manuscripts. Work on the fourth volume and the index will begin only when the third volume is actually in publication.
Based on the preparatory work of W. Holtzmann,a preliminary version of the index is being prepared by S. Chodorow. An Internet version is to follow.
In continuation of the work Walther Holtzmann began for the Pius-Foundation efforts contine on the index of the Twelfth-Century Decretal.Gisela Drossbach had completed the digitalisation of Holtzmann's card file as first step toward a future electronic edition to be produced in cooperation with the MGH and the Bavrian State Library, Munich. Birgit Gilcher has made this work-in-progress version accessible via the internet with the assistance of the Bavarian Academy of Arts and Sciences in Munich. Link here.
G. Drossbach is working on an edition of the Francofortana in continuation of the preliminary work of W. Holtzmann and Peter Landau. The second draft of the manuscript has been completed and is being proofread in preparation for publication.
The library of the Stephan Kuttner Institute of Medieval Canon Law has Kuttner's extensive Collection of scholarly off-prints as well as his scholarly correspondence. A data base of these titles is now available at the Institute thanks to the efforts of Birgit Gilcher and Johannes Raue, and as soon finances permit, the database will be accessible via the Internet.
The preparation of a Register of Kuttner's scholarly correspondence has also been completed through the efforts of Andreas Hetzenecker. A catalogue of the correspondence are available at the institute. If there is sufficient demand, an index will be prepared for this work. Also, Andreas Hetzenecker has written a preliminary evaluation of the correspondence that is scheduled to appear in monograph form in the near future.
Future Projects
These projects have been carried out with the aid of scholars from all over Europe and the United Staes. Preliminary work has been published and discussed in the form of research reports and general surveys.

Finding low-cost child care
Great piece on The Today Show this morning on finding cost-effective child care -- a hot topic in this economy. As we all know good, inexpensive child care is hard to find. It can be particularly difficult right now because working parents are discovering their wages are stagnant and hours are longer, but child care still costs the same. The average cost of child care per year: $5,500.
Some suggestions: Nanny sharing. This is one I participate in with my neighbor. It works out great for both of us and saves us money. The nanny watches all of our children at the same time. There's another option, too -- Some families are sharing nannies who split their time between two households. There are websites out there to find parents in your area willing to nanny share. Google nanny share.
Another idea: babysitting co-ops, larger groups of parents who take turns babysitting for other families. And, there are babysitting services such as Sittercity.com that will provide people who can help with logistics, walking your child to school in the morning or chauffeuring her to dance class. This route might be less expensive than hiring a full-time nanny.
Of course bringing babies to work also is an option for some. (Might be worth asking about at your workplace)
You might also want to check out nannynetwork.com. A recent nanny convention (who knew there was such a thing) revealed nannies are declaring specialties such as working with multiples, kids with Autism, or newborns. These niche nannies get paid up to 50 percent more than traditional nannies so use them only if necessary.
Are your child care costs going up? Beyond government-funded child care, have you discovered other low-cost options? What do you think of nanny sharing?

A New Swaddle
Labels: diy
7 comments :
Just wanted to let you know that I love this! You should totally make a pattern and post it... or you could even sell the pattern! (I would buy it) You thought of everything! And such cute fabric. I especially love that you can swaddle with arms out or in and the fact that you can change their diaper without unswaddling - perfect for nighttime changes. I use the Swaddle Me wraps too and so far my girlie hasn't gotten out of it, but I have found her knee sticking out of the hand hole before...ReplyDelete
Perhaps I will! I really hate sewing with knits so maybe selling the pattern would be a good idea!ReplyDelete
I'm sure the swaddle me is very handy...but Lilly is just beautiful!!!ReplyDelete
I don't even remember how I came across your blog but it was for your crochet pattern for the baby sandals. I will have a new granddaughter in May and would like to make them for her. My husband just bought me a sewing machine a couple of weeks ago (I haven't sewn anything in over 20 years-probably more like 30) but I would like to attempt it again in my retirement. Maybe your swaddle me would be something to try. It does sound like it would be very handy.
I just have to tell you though....you made the most beautiful bride and you sound like such a lovely person. I went all the way back to the beginning of your blog and read every post. It was so awesome to read all about the babies as they were growing and to see pictures of you too. The pictures you had taken of you and Tristan you when you were off bed rest came out beautiful. You will be so glad you have them. I especially love the one where you have your hands on each other's bumm's.
It sounds like you have a truly wonderful husband and a blessed life even though I'm sure rest is in short supply right now. Also, you went through a very rough patch with that hit and run accident. I find it horrifying that anybody could do something like that and hope they somehow found the person responsible even though I know how unlikely that is. However, I do believe in a true and just God and I believe this person will pay.
For a total stranger I have blabbed on enough. Thank you for sharing your pattern...I look forward to making these soon. Also thank you for sharing your life. Your outer beauty is there for all to see but your inner beauty shines through in your writing.
Take Care & God Bless,
Thank you for the sweet words! I almost cried! You are a gem Cheribella :)Delete
I think you should write this up as a pattern for sale as well. This one is quite different from any I have looked at making for my granddaughter! You have beautiful girls and Congratulations!ReplyDelete
Thanks! I think I will! It's just crazy with twins to get anything really done!ReplyDelete
Genius! I wish I would've had these with my girls. They got out of their burritos quite often. Please do sell the pattern or kit even.ReplyDelete

This is my favourite model currently produced by Otherworld and,as such,I felt she deserved special attention.
She took just under six hours to complete. The figure was sculpted by Kev White from Hasslefree and she is incredible! The skin is made up of five or six layers each gently applied in a thin layer. While her clothes were built up in five layers. The snakes are four different species which all contrast and compliment her excellently. I'm ecstatically pleased with how she turned out. If only I had a camera good enough to take a descent picture of her… More on that next week!
What this model really represents though is a turning point in my painting style. Last week I produced a guide to prove that it is possible to produce great results without needing impressive skill. This model however shows what happens when you combine some of the skills I used last week with time and patience and a little (miniscule) amount of skill.

Are you thinking I'm going to show you here a picture of what I'm working on my studio right now?
Well... NO. Indeed, I'm going to show the STATE of my studio right now. I have NO SHAME.
It's really bad... I mean it... REALLY BAD. The worst part in my closet supplies. It's a jungle!
Why I'm showing you these pictures? Well, again, because I don't have shame... kidding (well, a little). I decided it;s time to put things in order here. I know it's the worst time to tackle this kind of project, but honestly, maybe it's the best time to do it. We are in the middle of the Chritsmas season, and this girl here have to start working (fast, really fast) on some presents. I'm pretty sure, in some little corner in the closet I can find some missing treasures, or some cool supplies I totally forgot I have, or some half done artwork. All those things will make AWESOME Christmas presents! Right?
And stay tune, because I bet you I will find some cool things like decal skins, fabrics, papers, and other treasures to share with you.
I can see a lot of crafting projects in my near future...
Happy Tuesday!

Otaki MP Nathan Guy says Air New Zealand has robbed the Kapiti community by withdrawing its Auckland to Kapiti Coast air service, with just three weeks' notice.
"The route has proved popular and profitable for the national carrier. It's hard to believe that the reason Air New Zealand is giving – a lack of pilots – has just crept up on them. It stinks," Mr Guy says.
"I also find it hypocritical of Air New Zealand to have been promoting flights from Kapiti Coast as recently as last weekend when they held an open day at the airport. They have deceived the community."
Mr Guy says Air New Zealand is displaying a lack of foresight.
"Our region is benefiting hugely by the massive investment taking place with the construction of Transmission Gully and the Kapiti Expressways. It's making us one of the fastest growing regions in the country.
"It is also disappointing that Air New Zealand has given the community insufficient time to come up with another option, so a similar service could continue."
Mr Guy is calling a meeting of representatives from the Kapiti Coast District Council, Air Chathams, Todd Property Group and the Kapiti Chamber of Commerce next week.
"The meeting aims to encourage a new carrier to take on the service and Air Chathams has already expressed an interest to me in doing so, but they won't be able to deliver a service in just three weeks.
"I'll certainly be doing all I can by working with interested groups to fight the decision."
Mr Guy successfully lobbied to get Air New Zealand to begin flights from Kapiti Coast in 2011.
"Air New Zealand has invested in the service and it is now performing well, which makes this knee-jerk decision all the more disappointing for regular users and our community."

I got my computer back from the nice computer doctor only to find out it's still locking up. I spent hours today trying to get it to boot up and now I'm afraid to ever turn it off again! I worked for hours getting my data backed up, but now I'm scared to change anything for fear It'll crash again before I get it backed up again! Arrrgh! Anyway, at the moment it's running, so I'm trying to get as much done on it as I can until I can get it back to the doctor.
Here are Midge and Gidget posing for their Valentine photos. I would have done a full spread with a giant box of chocolates, but you know how that would have gone! No, the girls don't even know what chocolate tastes like, but I do! It would have been a photo of Midge and Gidget sitting in a giant empty box of chocolates!
I'm excited about the pieces I finished for the Shepherd's Bush. They're headed to the Nashville market soon. Don't even bother to ask me what they look like, as I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you! Ha ha.
All in all, it was a good week. Here's what I got shipped out.
Until next time,

Reducing the password burden: Investigating the effectiveness of data-driven authentication on mobile (04 November, 2014)
Speaker: Dr Mike Just
Recent research on the effectiveness of performing implicit authentication on smart phones, where sensor data is used to authenticate a user based upon their behaviour.
I will overview our group's recent research on the effectiveness of performing implicit authentication on smart phones, where sensor data is used to authenticate a user based upon their behaviour. In addition to results related to usability, security, and resource consumption, I will discuss some practical deployment issues related to training duration, and behaviour stability.
Mike is a Senior Lecturer and the Associate Director of the Interactive and Trustworthy technologies group at GCU. He has published on many areas of computer security and cryptography, and is particularly interested in building usable security solutions. In 2003 he designed the Government of Canada's online account recovery solution, used by more than 6 million citizens and businesses. He recently lead a two-year EU project investigating the use of mobile phone sensors for authentication, that will be the subject of this presentation. Mike obtained his PhD from Carleton University (Canada), and in addition to his academic work, he spent 10 years in both the private and public sectors. You can find more information, including publications, at http://www.justmikejust.co.uk/
What I've learned so far about the recognition-based graphical passwords (Users and Developers Guidelines) (28 October, 2014)
Speaker: Hani Aljahdali
Development of Graphical Authentication Schemes
This talk will present guidelines about developing and using recognition-based graphical passwords properly in terms of usability and security. Those guidelines are based on in depth-interviews with 23 graphical password users from my previous studies. The guidelines will show the aspects that need to be considered for future work in the field of recognition-based graphical passwords.
A review of multiple graphical password user studies and reported results (21 October, 2014)
Speaker: Soumyadeb Chowdhury
Overview of user studies in graphical authentication.
This talk will present a brief review of all the user studies (known to me) in the field of GASs that had explored the memorability of multiple graphical passwords . The review for each of the user studies will discuss the system used for the experiment, the experimental protocol and the results obtained from the experiment and our inferences (which are based upon the research published by the respective authors).

Engineering Adaptive Software Systems (19 March, 2013)
Speaker: Dr Arosha Bandara
Adaptive software systems have been the focus of significant research activity due to their promise of addressing some of the complexity challenges associated with large software intensive systems. In 2003, Kephart and Chess published their vision of autonomic computing, which aimed to address some of the challenges of software complexity. In essence, they proposed that software architectures should incorporate a layer, analogous to the autonomic nervous system, that could adapt the behaviour of the system to meet particular quality attributes (e.g., security, usability, etc.). The challenges of engineering such systems encompass a range of computing disciplines, that include requirements engineering, software architectures and usability. This talk will explore these challenges, drawing on work being done at The Open University in the areas of adaptive user interfaces, information security and privacy.
Proactive Social Media Use of Emergency Authorities (19 March, 2013)
Speaker: Preben Bonnen & Martin Marcher
Preben Bonnén and Martin Marcher will be discussing the opportunities and perspectives of proactive social media use by civil authorities in the context of civil protection.
In the summer of 2012, the Danish Forum for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning / Forum for Samfundets Beredskab (FSB), started a large project focusing on the authorities' proactive use of social media, primarily Facebook and Twitter. The inspiration came from the Norwegian and Swedish police, who not only proactively use Facebook and Twitter, but they have also previously made thorough considerations regarding the possibilities and prospects for the use of social media.
The rationale behind the launch of an analysis, and later that year a seminar the 2nd of November 2012 in the Danish Parliament, were the growing challenges authorities are facing in relation to both the media and the press, and in relation to social media. In all cases there is an expectation of quick information, and even so more, in the possible event of a major incident where questions and the need for information would multiply. But when questions are many, the information from the authorities is typically and usually moderate. That may change with proactive use of social media.
Basically, there isn't much that can prevent authorities using social media in ensuring society preparedness. For example, the police force can use social media tools to convey important information to the public, create campaigns targeting specific social segments, communicate enquiries regarding criminals or missing persons, and issue traffic warnings. Besides reaching their target audience, who may not usually be involved in dialogue with police, there is a good possibility of increasing dialogue with the general public. This can be achieved through chats with the public on various issues chosen by citizens themselves, on issues they find relevant within their own society. In conclusion, police presence on social media over time will be expected as a normal part of their everyday job. Preben Bonnén and Martin Marcher from Forum for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning (FSB) will present a detailed presentation discussing the opportunities and perspectives that present themselves to authorities in society preparedness, and to what extent they do so.
Further Adventures with the Raspberry Pi Cloud (05 March, 2013)
Speaker: David White, Jeremy Singer (and L4 project student)
With money from GU Chancellor's Fund, we have been constructing a scale model of a cloud datacenter out of Raspberry Pi boards. In this presentation, we will give details of the aims of the project, potential deployment in research and teaching contexts, and progress to date.
Why am I not running the world? (26 February, 2013)
Speaker: Dave McKay
Inspired by Suranga Chandratillake's Turing lecture, I want to develop his theme of the "The Boffin Phallacy". Using wild assertions and examples from my own career, and with no humility whatsoever, I will point out some things that Suranga missed. I will put aside fears of losing my academic friends and alienating academic researchers everywhere, and try to show that a business life is exciting and sexy. Along the way, I hope to suggest some ways that we can turn out computing graduates who will one day run the globe.
The Black Hole Methodology (19 February, 2013)
Speaker: Wendy Goucher
Information processing in emergency management environments (12 February, 2013)
Speaker: Stefan Raue
In this talk I will discuss some of my work on information processing in emergency management environments. In particular, I will focus on crowdsourcing techniques to improve the response to adverse events resulting from natural or man-made hazards. I will talk about the information needs of emergency services during the early stages of response, and discuss the information processing activities to which crowdsourcing activities could be beneficial. There are multiple technical, social and ethical challenges arising from the prospect of involving the crowd in large-scale information processing tasks in this time- and safety-critical environment.
Multicriteria Optimization Approach to Select Images as Passwords in Recognition Based Graphical Authentication Systems (05 February, 2013)
Speaker: Soumyadeb Chowdhury
Recognition-based graphical authentication systems (RGBSs) use images as passwords. The major goal of our research is to investigate the usability and guessability i.e. vulnerability of the different image types, Mikon, doodle, art and object (sports, food, sculptures etc) to written and verbal descriptions, when used as passwords in RBGS. We conducted two longitudinal user studies over a period of 4 months to evaluate the usability (100 users) and guessability based on verbal descriptions (70 users), of these image types when used as passwords in RGBSs. After deriving conclusions based on a statistical analysis of the data, the research question was "How to rank image types based on both the criteria". Usability and guessability are in conflict, when assessing the suitability of an image for use as a password. Since the statistical analysis alone does not unambiguously identify the most suitable image to be used as password, here, we present a new approach which effectively integrates a series of techniques to rank images, taking into account the conflicting criteria.

Monday, March 19, 2007
To wit: I wanted to learn more about "Bali Flower Offerings", and typed into the Google search engine: "Bali Flower Offerings". So what did Google return? A bunch of stock photos I could buy. Some flower companies. A couple of wedding websites where I could buy my Bali flowers. Oh yeah, and of course, the 1-800-Flowers website. Reminds me of the definition of an economist: "Gives a lot of data and tells you nothing."!!
I do know that on Bali the Hindu population makes prolifc offering to the Gods. Yes, the Gods as there are many,both good and evil, for almost everything or spirits if you prefer. At Ketut's Place in Ubud, he explained that offerings were made each morning to the spirit of the ravine to appease the spirit for disrupting the area when he built his house.
This was left as a comment by Tanas Aramuk:
An offering is something tangible, presented to appease the Gods in times of prayer. Philosophically, an offering is a sort of self sacrifice. One spends a significant amount of time and money in making an offering, putting something of oneself into it.
The most common form of offering that is seen everywhere in Bali on a daily basis is known as canang. It placed in temples, shrines and strategic locations of importance with a waft from a stick of incense and sprinkle of holy water. Shop keepers place this kind of flower offering in front of their stall upon opening up for trade and taxi drivers invariably have one on the dashboard of their vehicle.
At the hotel in Legian, I was there for only two mornings, but each morning the design in the bowl was different. Next time I want to be there when the offering is made and designed. I wonder how long it took to create one of these.

By David Schultz
May 26 — Two new genetically modified crops from Dow AgroSciences and Monsanto have cleared crucial regulatory hurdles at the Agriculture Department, placing them one step closer to reaching farmers and consumers.
Both of these GMO crops are designed to address the growing problem of pests that have grown resistant to biotech pest control methods developed in the 1980s and 1990s.
The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service announced May 22 that it would grant preliminary approval to a strain of cotton that Dow has genetically modified to be tolerant of its Enlist Duo herbicide, a mixture of the chemicals glufosinate and 2,4-D.
On the same day, APHIS also issued an environmental assessment and a plant pest risk assessment for a new strain of corn from Monsanto that is modified to tolerate the herbicide glyphosate and to be resistant to the corn rootworm. Both assessments were favorable for Monsanto and are likely to lead to the service granting final approval for its corn as well.
APHIS announced both of these measures on its website. It said it will formally publish them in the Federal Register May 28.
The cotton from Dow is the third pillar of its Enlist crop management system, in which crops that can tolerate large doses of Enlist Duo are sold along with the herbicide. This allows farmers to use Enlist Duo liberally without harming their crops.
Enlist Duo's mixture of two chemicals makes it valuable to farmers who are grappling with herbicide-resistant weeds.
Dow already gained final USDA approval in 2014 for the other two pillars of its Enlist system: Enlist Duo-tolerant corn and soy crops.
The Environmental Protection Agency also granted approval in 2014 to use Enlist Duo on corn and soy. However, the agency hasn't yet approved using the herbicide mixture on cotton.
Pending final approval from the EPA and the USDA, Dow plans to begin selling its Enlist cotton in 2016, a Dow official told Bloomberg BNA. The official requested anonymity because the cotton is still going through the regulatory approval process.
Monsanto is touting its new GMO corn crop as the first in the next generation of plants with built-in insect resistant traits.
In addition to being genetically engineered to tolerate the herbicide glyphosate, the corn also has traits from the Bt bacterium that allow the corn to produce its insect-killing proteins.
Moreover, Monsanto's new strain of corn also contains a third trait that produces insect-killing proteins through an emerging technology called RNA interference.
RNA interference, part of a suite of new "gene editing" technologies that have emerged in recent years, involves the silencing of specific parts of a genome. In this instance, RNA-interference proteins from Monsanto's corn plant, after being eaten by an aggressive type of corn rootworm, silence the expression of one of the rootworm's genes, leading to its death.
This would be the first GMO corn crop approved by the USDA to utilize RNA interference, APHIS spokesman R. Andre Bell told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail.
Monsanto's inclusion of this RNA interference trait within its corn is an indication that the Bt trait alone is no longer enough. Many insect pests have developed a resistance to Bt corn, which has been planted throughout the world since the late-1990s.
These three traits, which Monsanto plans to combine with several other traits into its upcoming SmartStax PRO crop protection system, will "not only enhance the effectiveness of controlling this pest but also prolong the durability of the existing Bt technologies," Monsanto spokesman Jeff Neu told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail.
Neu said the company plans to take SmartStax PRO to the marketplace by the end of this decade, pending further regulatory approvals.

- The cash for clunkers and new homeowner tax credit have done nothing but subsidize inevitable purchases while pulling them forward creating a false impression that a rebound in demand had emerged. Unable to maintain these subsidies indefinitely, the government ultimately let them expire and sales promptly declined substantially as all potential buyers had rushed to beat the deadline. While sales activity will slowly normalize in the future, the programs did nothing to increase overall demand and simply distorted the market in an attempt to distort an inevitable correction.
- More than $700 billion in government spending and tax breaks promoted under the guise of "fiscal stimulus" was supposed to lead to dramatic employment gains and an unemployment rate of 8%. Instead, the unemployment rate remains at a deceptive 9.5% while a more accurate measure incorporating the millions that have grown discouraged or have been dropped from the pool of potential workers suggests that true unemployment is 16.5%.
- At a current $1.5 trillion annual budget deficit, the U.S. has little room for additional fiscal stimulus or government spending on productivity enhancing infrastructure.
- Increases in regulation, taxes, economic uncertainty, and the threat of government intervention or persecution leads many businesses to exercise caution, horde cash, and curtail growth plans. It simply is safer not to hire new employees or expand production until the environment becomes more certain. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are chronically unemployed and the centers of economic power are migrating from the U.S. and Europe to China and other developing nations.
In order to emerge from the economic quagmire that has paralyzed this great nation, true leadership must emerge. We must be willing to openly acknowledge our prior excesses and allow markets to enforce necessary corrections without doomed attempts at intervention. At the same time, we must focus all of our energy on encouraging economic innovation and activity through reduced regulatory burdens, strategic infrastructure investment, and incentives for domestic investment and production. We need to encourage companies to think of the U.S. first for all levels of economic activity rather than embrace previous notions of an information and service economy with none of the fundamental manufacturing that leads to innovation and learning. Finally, we need to acknowledge the untenable promises of the Social Security, Medicare, and Obamacare entitlement programs and restructure them in a sustainable manner.
These changes will take courage, strong leadership, and an ideological flexibility. President Obama is clearly not up to the challenge, so let us hope that another more courageous leader will emerge from the ashes of the American economy and restore it to its proper glory.

Property for sale in Egypt
Villas, Apartments, New-Build Investments
Property prices in Egypt are still low compared to Europe and the Middle East – however, since 2010 the areas of the Red Sea and Mediterranean have seen a boom in development and capital returns.
Resorts such as Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada are most popular with investors fueled by the increase in tourism and official encouragement of foreign investment.
Egypt, is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia, via a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. With over 86 million inhabitants, Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East, and the 15th-most populated in the world.
Much of Egypt's ancient history was a mystery until the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered with the discovery and help of the Rosetta Stone. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. The Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the other Seven Wonders, is gone.
At Sunshine Estates, we work with local developers and agents to find the best range of holiday homes and investment projects. We provide both new developments and resales.

Book Review: Emma In the Night
Isn't there a great sense of relief when an author you love comes out with a new book and you know without even reading the synposis that you're going to love it? That's how I feel about Wendy Walker. I loved All Is Not Forgotten so much. Christopher and I both read it and it was so great to talk about it together.
I was thrilled when I heard that Wendy published a new book, Emma in the Night. If you follow me on Instagram, you know by now that I read it non-stop and found it just as thrilling as AINF. The greatest element of these two thrillers is that Wendy's narrators are unreliable, yet you find yourself hanging on their every word. It's unnerving but addicting.
The tension had me literally hanging on every word, even when those word didn't quite match up.
Before I tell you more about Emma in the Night, check out this awesome book trailer from St. Martins Press:
Cass Tanner arrives home, three years after she and her sister Emma disappear. Everyone- her parents, her stepfather, siblings and the investigators on her case are all riveted by the story that she tells. They listen as she tells a tale that her sister is alive, there is a baby being held captive on an isolated island and many other torrid details.
But the scariest things that Cass knows are what she isn't telling them. There are family secrets that you will have a hard time believing, only because by the time Cass gets around to telling them, every one in the story seems to be lying to cover up their own dark sides.
It's thrilling, riveting and super twisted. Pick up a copy now!
