The EYFS has four themes which act as 'golden threads' pulling together all of the principles and research that underpin the requirements for teaching and learning of babies and young children in England. These themes reflect the pre-requisites to enable children to become confident learners, who form positive relationships with others and are inspired to love learning forever.
A Unique child
Babies and young children are first and foremost individuals, with unique personalities and a variety of abilities. Ideally, schedules and routines should flow with the child's needs and not be tailored to meet the needs of adults. Our planning for babies and children starts with talking to parents and carers and spending time with and observing in order to understand and consider children's current interests, development and learning preferences.
Positive relationships
The foundations for learning start when children feel safe, secure and happy. Where children form strong attachments with adults, they go on to become confident adults in the future (Bowlby, 1986). Building a strong and trusting relationship with a child helps practitioners to know how best to plan for their learning. They take into account: preferences, learning style, home culture and development stage. Good planning meets the 'holistic' (whole person) needs of the child and ensures effective foundations for learning. Our "play partner" system allows children to build strong, caring bonds so that they feel secure and confident in the nursery and beyond.
Enabling environments
Everything in the environment can't be planned for on paper but cleverly organised environments encourage learning and promote thinking. A learning-rich environment is considered to be the 'third teacher' (Malaguzzi, 1995) in which children's experiences should respond to their individual interests, needs and learning styles. Our interactive planning provides not only planned 'adult initiated' activities for groups and individuals, but allows us the flexibility to take advantage of 'teachable moments' that occur throughout the day, using spontaneous and unexpected occurrences. For example, the discovery of a spider in the garden, a rainbow or a fall of snow, all provide wonderful learning opportunities for practitioners to utilize, whilst the child is captivated and interested in the phenomenon. We have the privilege of observing a child's reaction to seeing something for the first time and so we embrace and extend this rather unique opportunity, rather than take the child away from what they are enjoying to do something else. Pivotal learning takes place when children are engaged, stimulated and highly interested.
Different ways of learning
Where the EYFS themes are well catered for, learning and development naturally happens. We know that all children have different ways of learning and some will reach certain milestones quicker than others; this is normal. Some children become skilled in areas such as creativity; others walk or talk earlier or later than their peers; this is all normal. There is no such thing as a 'typical' child; only a 'unique' child. However, sometimes children will struggle and some children will need extra help from time to time to enable them to reach their potential. Where assessments show significant gaps in learning, it is our job to work with parents and carers to identify what we can do to support the child's learning, to narrow these gaps.
How we plan for your child
The EYFS Framework explains how and what children will need to learn to support their development. The characteristics of effective learning (EYFS, 2014) explain how children learn through: Exploration, Critical thinking, Having a go.We promote independent learning in our children, so that they have lots of time to explore, talk and think and try things out for themselves. This is how they will learn to make decisions and become confident to learn through their mistakes and successes.
Areas of learning and development
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage which focuses on the distinct needs of children from birth to 5 years of age. It is divided into 3 Prime Areas and 4 Specific areas as follows. Three prime areas are particularly crucial for igniting children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive. These are 'time bound' and set the foundations for further learning. All children, from all cultures across the globe, need to learn skills within these three areas. Ideally, children need to learn these key skills before they are three years old, in order that they have the tools they need for the future. They are:
Communication and language
Speaking, listening and understanding
Physical development
Self-care, moving and handling
Personal, social & emotional development
Making relationships, confidence and understanding appropriate behavior
As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas that link to the National Curriculum in schools. These areas of learning help children to learn specific skills that relate to their learning in the future and will vary from country to country. In England the specific areas of learning are:
Reading & writing
Numbers, shape, space and measurements, problem-solving
Understanding the world
How does my world works?
Early science, geography, history
Expressive arts & design
Music, art and craft, dance, storytelling, drama
Summative assessment
Regular observation informs planning. Play partners will often stand aside for a while and leave room for learning, observe carefully what children do and use their observation to try to think what the child will want to do next. They build on children's existing knowledge and their interests to plan activities that will allow children to learn new skills and build on what they already know and can do. Ongoing (formative) and summative (12 weekly) assessment plays an important part in helping parents, carers and practitioners to recognise children's progress, understand their learning needs and plan activities that support children's development.
We never test children and children never know they are being assessed; our practitioners adapt activities to suit the age and stage and needs of individuals and extend learning as they see it happen through appropriate challenge.
Regularly throughout the year you will receive your child's "summative assessment" and between the ages of 2 and 3 years a `two year progress check'. You can arrange to meet with your child's play partner and the nursery manager at any time should you wish to discuss your child's development.
Within the summative assessment, the play partner will make a professional 'best-fit' judgement about the age and stage the child is working within, using the 'Early Years Outcomes' document and decide if the child is emerging, developing, or secure. This information is taken from written and visual observations, our experiences with the child and contributions from parents and any other professionals that may be working with the child. Appropriate supportive next steps will be planned in each area of learning. The most important thing is for the practitioners to check how well the child has progressed since their last assessment regardless of where they are on their personal learning journey.
What does curriculum planning look like?
We use 'wipe boards' for planning. That way we can be spontaneous and flexible. We plan different activities every day and sometimes we repeat favourite activities to allow children to revisit and consolidate their learning. Also, children who enjoy repeated behaviours (Schema) are able to review their 'research theories' and add to their knowledge.
Specific planned meaningful experiences that differ from what is already readily available to the children in the environment – this means that we enhance the continuous provision.
E.g. facilitating an experiment in the art area; taking a trip to the library after talking about a favourite book; planting seeds in the gardening to grow our own vegetables etc.
Mixture of adult and child-led.
Babies' planning will be mainly child-led, focused on individual development activities with the balance of adult-led changing as children are preparing for school.
Children's current interests, schemas and spontaneous planning.
These are the things that we add as we spot them through observations. They might prompt a separate activity idea, a specific story or allow us to adapt the environment to reflect children's interests.
Indoor and outdoor play opportunities to make sure children's preferred learning environment provides activities that are right for them.
For example, if a child likes to be outside, there is little point in putting his favourite toy indoors; if boys have the opportunity to record the number of buckets of gravel they need to make the scales balance, it is more likely that they will engage in mathematics than if we try to keep them indoors.
Ideas from parents.
We always welcome ideas from our families, please feel free to make some suggestions. For example, tell us when your child has learned to ride a bike and we'll make sure the bikes are outside to help him to build on the new skill.
Practitioner role modelling, behaviour or language.
Here we add in what the adult will do or must be aware of with certain activities when considering the needs of the room e.g. provide key words in certain languages, allow babies time to respond, include time for post activity discussion, adult to demonstrate etc.
Make a bug hotel in the garden
Example of how one activity can support so many areas of learning
•Carrying and sorting resources
•Team work and problem solving
•Putting wellies and raincoats on
•Assessing risk before, during and after
•Discussing what a bug hotel is
•What resources and actions are needed?
•Designing the bug hotel
•Collecting resources
Once we have achieved what we set out to do, no doubt with numerous additions and contributions from the children, we consider how the activity may become a tool to extend learning if the children are still interested:
•Create imaginative designs for other bug hotels with junk modelling, construction or sketches
•Discuss how to care for living creatures and how this applies to us humans
•Consider stories and songs about bugs that could be brought into the provision
•Spot and count the insects that are using the bug hotel
•Make a bug hotel diary
•Draw pictures of bugs and write their names
What does curriculum planning look like for babies?
For younger babies the planning will look very different. It is important to remember with babies we are focusing on Communication and Language, Physical development and Personal, Social and Emotional development, not an end product or post activity discussion. This relies on the adult being alert and reflective 'in the moment' and knowing the child well enough to know how to extend their learning. Staff in the baby room will adapt and change activities many times throughout the day to capture babies' excitement and interests.
The treasure basket
Example of learning through exploration of the outer world for babies
•Give children time to explore
•Put items in reach for children to grasp
•Provide a range of sizes and shape to hold to
•Adults to site nearby to observe and interact with them
•Adults to talk about what is happening using gentle tone
Teaching and learning is not limited to what we plan for and we know that different children will learn different things from the same experience. Learning is everywhere reflected in the environments, the resources, the daily routines and the relationships with parents and carers and of course… the other children. It is our job is to identify those 'teachable moments' and make the most of them.
School Readiness - Preparing for school
Children must be given time to develop at their own rate putting the necessary foundations in place at each stage for them to be socially and emotionally ready for school. OFSTED are clear that the teaching methods between early years and schools will be different and the reception year at school is a bridging gap between the two; so please don't worry that your child needs to be fully prepared to adapt to a classroom situation and routine from the day they start school.
Through the Specific areas of learning, children will learn essential skills that will prepare them for school. Counting the number of children at the table, laying the table for lunch and helping to prepare snack, all help to provide the foundations for early mathematics (calculation, subtraction and addition). Pouring drinks and serving their own lunch provides opportunities to learn about capacity and develop new physical skills.
Sharing books, developing group stories in the role play area and self-registration, all support early reading. Songs, rhymes and music provide the basics for phonics, whilst listening to stories and circle time activities are essential for developing early listening skills, providing the building blocks for recognising sounds in words later on.
Children are encouraged to write for a purpose, so they can see themselves as writers of the future.
They write their names on artwork; shopping lists or parking fines; they give meaning to the marks they make when they paint and draw. Babies and younger children make marks as they explore the food that they spill on the table or play in shaving foam in the tough-spot. Rolling sausage shapes in the dough provides opportunities to develop fine muscle skills and moulding those sausages into letters to 'write' your name is much more fun than doing it on paper.
Practitioners as teachers
Early years practitioners hold a range of qualifications from apprenticeships to post graduate degrees, with many practitioners having specialist skills and interests through attending various courses. All are considered as teachers in the context of Early Years. This diversity is important in order that the children we care for have access to many different skill sets and experiences.
Children's interest and skills in Mathematics, Science, English language and literacy are nurtured from an early age in nursery through the routines, activities and environments provided. The manager's analysis of children's assessments helps the nursery to understand how well they support children's learning and what their next steps for priority are.
Learning through play
Play is the main focus of our nursery day; play is the natural way in which children learn. It is the process through which children can explore, investigate, recreate and come to understand their world. Play is a means for children to establish, practice and test everything they know as well as make sense of what is new. Play is vital to children's early brain development and establishing the type of learner they will be as they grow.

Three patients in a mental institution prepare for an examination given by the head psychiatrist. If the patients pass the exam, they will be free to leave the hospital. However, if they fail, the institution will detain them for five years.
The doctor takes the three patients to the top of a diving board looking over an empty swimming pool, and asks the first patient to jump.
The first patient jumps head first into the pool and breaks both arms.
Then the second patient jumps and breaks both legs.
The third patient looks over the side and refuses to jump. "Congratulations! You're a free man. Just tell me why didn't you jump?" asked the doctor.
To which the third patient answered, "Well Doc, I can't swim!"

Open up, sir! It's the Grammar Police! We've had complaints about your misuse of the word "golfer" when it is clear you meant "gopher." Possibly you could pay your "poof" readers a proper wage to avoid future visits from us. Our commander, Captain Otto Korrect, enjoys your column but he does have limits regarding spelling and grammar. Now, on the other side, if, in fact, you DID mean "golfer," then we apologize since that there's funny right there. I don't care who ya are.
Sorry, but I did mean to write "golfer" in the column, but I am impressed by your response time and attention to detail. Thanks for reading and offering me your feedback. Well played! And, hey, get your friends to subscribe. People could really use a laugh, or groan, these days.

I look forward to this particular outdoor page more than any other of the entire year. It's even more special this time around.
That's because, up until a few years ago, 12- and 13-year olds were restricted to bowhunting for deer. This time around during Michigan's youth deer season Sept. 27-28, young hunters across the state took advantage of the reduced age for rifle hunting and took to the woods.
This page proves two things: First, with a hunters' safety course under their belt, and with proper supervision and guidance, 12- and 13-year-olds can be safe and successful gun hunters.
Second, though hunting is often regarded as a predominantly-male sport, women and young girls also share a passion for hunting. Just look — five of these six successful hunters are girls, two of whom were hunting with either their aunt or mom; and all of whom, I must say, are a heckuva shot with a firearm.

MLS suddenly puts brakes on expansion
League decision to postpone awarding next team comes day after Nashville announcement
Major League Soccer is postponing a decision on its next expansion team until next year.
A day after selecting Nashville, Tennessee, as one of its next two additions, MLS said Thursday it still is considering which market to add from among Cincinnati, Detroit and Sacramento, California.
MLS announced last December that it would select its 25th and 26th teams during the second or third quarter of 2017 and they would start play by 2020. Twelve areas submitted bids the following month, when MLS said it would announce the two selected by the end of the year. Contenders were pared to four finalists on Nov. 29, and the groups made presentations to the league's expansion committee on Dec. 6.
Los Angeles FC, the league's 23rd team, starts play next season. The 24th team, provisionally awarded to Miami and David Beckham in 2014, still has not finalized a stadium location and remains on hold.
MLS commissioner Don Garber said Wednesday it was not clear when Nashville will start play. The league prefers to have an even number of teams, allowing all to be in action on weekends.

POTS: A Little-Known Cause of Extreme Fatigue
Featured Experts:
Everyone knows what being tired feels like at the end of a long day. But some people experience fatigue so severe and so seemingly random that it's hard to describe. If that sounds familiar, there could be more going on than daily stress.
While there are many causes of fatigue, one of them is frequently missed and misdiagnosed: postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Physical medicine and neuromuscular specialist Tae Chung, M.D., answers questions about POTS and extreme fatigue as one of its symptoms.
When is fatigue considered extreme?
There is no good criteria for assessing the level of fatigue — it depends on the person. However, most people know when their tiredness is more than a lack of sleep. Some of my patients remember the exact day they got hit with fatigue so overwhelming that they knew something was wrong.
How would you describe fatigue associated with POTS?
People with POTS experience fatigue differently. Many describe it as feeling beyond exhausted. It's as if your energy is completely depleted. The fatigue is probably hundreds of times worse than your worst flu. People with POTS may also have trouble concentrating and thinking straight. Doing simple tasks may feel like you've just ran a marathon.
This fatigue might come and go, hitting you without warning daily, weekly or less frequently. For some people, extreme fatigue lasts for days. Others may experience periodic "attacks." It can come on at any moment — even if you just woke up. And there is no amount of sleep or coffee that can make it go away.
What is POTS and why does it cause fatigue?
POTS is a group of symptoms resulting from dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. This branch of the nervous system regulates functions we don't consciously control like sweating and blood circulation.
In people with POTS, more blood collects in the lower body when standing upright. The heart beats faster to pump it up to the brain, but with little success. The causes of POTS are unknown, but the problem is thought to lie in the communication breakdown between the brain and the cardiovascular system.
POTS-related fatigue is physical in nature and the mechanism behind it is not fully understood. It may have several causes, including your body working harder to move the blood.
What are other symptoms of POTS besides the extreme fatigue?
People with POTS may experience different symptoms to a different extent. These symptoms may include but are not limited to:
- Dizziness when standing
- Nausea and vomiting
- Lightheadedness and fainting
- Brain fog
- Muscle pain and cramps
- Headaches
- Excessive sweating
- Shakiness
Some people feel as though their heart is beating really fast or skipping a beat. This is called heart palpitations.
Is POTS more common in certain people?
There are no established risk factors for POTS. However, it is known to run in families, so it could have a genetic component. Researchers have also established a link between POTS and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (highly mobile joints). So if you have one of these conditions, you might also have the other.
A big group of those diagnosed with POTS is young women and teens. However, this doesn't mean they are more likely to develop this condition.
Is it possible that I have POTS and was incorrectly diagnosed?
This is entirely possible. Given how common POTS symptoms are and how unfamiliar many doctors are with this condition, diagnostic mishaps happen. POTS is frequently misidentified as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, anxiety disorder, ADHD, irritable bowel syndrome, myositis, etc. It is also possible that you have both POTS and one of these conditions, which may complicate the diagnosis. Sometimes people with POTS are told that "it's all in your head," implying that the cause of their symptoms is psychological. If you feel like something is physically wrong, don't hesitate to seek a second, and even a third or fourth opinion.
How is a POTS diagnosis made?
Problems with the autonomic nervous system can be difficult to diagnose. The standard test for POTS is the tilt table test. During the test, you are secured to a table that tilts from being horizontal to almost a 90-degree angle. The test measures your heart's response to switching from laying down to standing up. Some people with POTS faint during this test, even if they rarely faint standing up.
Although the test seems straightforward, many things can interfere with it. It's important that a POTS specialist oversees it. It's best to work with a doctor who has diagnosed and treated patients with POTS. This could be a cardiologist, a neuromuscular specialist or another doctor.
Is POTS treatable?
While there is nothing that can make POTS go away for good, there are ways to address the symptoms. One treatment option is a diet that involves increasing your salt and water intake. This helps your body retain fluids and increase the blood volume.
The other treatment is exercise — even though it may be the last thing on your mind. Pushing through fatigue is difficult, but exercise can help you maintain healthy blood circulation. Exercise should be prescribed and closely monitored by your doctor. It often starts as low-intensity exercise that can be done while you are lying down, and gradually increases as your body is able to tolerate more physical activity, although each person's experience is different.
POTS treatment has to be tailored to address your specific symptoms and underlying conditions. Be wary of trying treatments you find online without consulting with your doctor. A treatment that makes one POTS patient better may make another worse.

Last weekend Shooters Snooker & Sports Club in Scarborough Ontario held an open no handicap tournament. These types of tournaments have been lacking in all of Ontario not just the Greater Toronto Area (G.T.A). Handicap tournaments as a whole have been gaining in popularity over the past decade in North America, but at what cost?
I credit this popularity because these handicap systems present the illusion that everyone has a chance to win. However this thought process comes with some major pitfalls. For example if Erik Hjorleifson, John Morra, or Mario Morra are playing on one of the various tours in the G.T.A, these three have a talent level that is above any field that can be can be assembled in the area. Thus they are the favourites to win any event they play and if participants are being honest with themselves they should feel that this is perfectly reasonable. Because these three players are perfect examples of people who have dedicated their lives to mastering the sport of pool, therefore their talent and motivation have earned them this edge in play.
By the end of the season there are people who like to look back and see how many tournaments "The Big Three" have won. Lets say that number is around 60% of the tournaments, based on the handicap philosophy this would not seem right. In this thought process ideally if there were 10 tournaments there should be at least 7/8 different winners, so what happens from here? Keeping inline with the handicap mantra there needs to be an adjustment. In the G.T.A what has happened if "The Big Three" have to race to 11 they introduce something called an 11 minus.
This is another method to try and take the edge away. Meaning if you are an 11 minus when you play a 6 they race to 5 or if you play a 7 they race to 6. You can imagine when they play higher ranked players whether they are 8,9,10 how difficult this could be. That being said these three are elite professionals. With their knowledge of the rack, ability to keep calm under pressure and the intimidation factor they bring to the table they still find a way to win the majority of the time.
Thus the next step is you see countless of tournament posters with the fine print that reads "No Pro's."
It is not just the Pro's being left out now you will also see a lot of tournaments where no one over "8" permitted. So there has been an outcry of late for traditional tournaments with straight up races. Going back to last weekend, 36 players ended up showing up with most of them being between the 5-7 level. There was a big gap of players in the 8-10 range who are not only the better players in the area but the ones who were a part of the outcry for these types of tournaments.
Now 36 players showed up for a non handicap tournament less then a month after 115 play a 7 and under tournament at the same location. So when push comes to shove the players who wanted this most did not show up. Of course it is summer and people don't play as much but it still does not account for the low turn out of the higher skilled players. This fact begins to make me ponder the will of amateur players. As a group, is our ego and pride so fragile that we cannot even enter a tournament anymore where we are not some sort of favourite, or with the illusion of being a favourite? Is this what handicap tournaments have done to the sport, where pool room owners and tournament organizers have to cater to the lowest common denominator.
Combined with this, these top players have to deal with insulting statements like, "I am just here to donate," or "they are here to rob us." Not only insulting to people who have dedicated their lives to the sport but how much more short sided could these statements be. Especially in the format that was just presented at Shooters which had staggered entry fee's for the different levels. The value in this is to compete against high level competition without a spot to see what you got, and toughen you up and see what needs to be worked on.
Living in Cornwall, Ontario an hour outside of Montreal I play most of my pool in Quebec each season. In the Quebec Federation there are only 2-3 Handicap tournaments a season and they are mostly frowned upon. They have the luxury of having enough players to fill division for players ranked "C" through to Professional without the need for handicaps. In fact many of the Quebec players are against Handicaps as a whole. I have noticed the benefit in just the last two years alone playing the most tournaments I have ever played. As a "A" ranked player this year I secured wins over a Semi-Pro and some other higher ranked players straight up. My game and my confidence has benefited greatly from these tests and am on my way to consistently playing at a higher level.
If I would compare this system to that of the ABO handicap system in the Ottawa/Gatineau region, which I have played on and off for 5 years. It is easy to notice that many of those players who solely play these handicap events have not improved at all since I began to play. This has nothing to do in my opinion with talent level but however with these players not needing to improve. Because they have had moderate success with many mid-level cashes and the occasional tournament win. However all the while not earning enough points to be bumped up to the next level.
The result of this is we are not developing players and thus not progressing the sport we all love. Now I wont argue the fact that handicap tournaments have their place, especially for weekend enthusiasts. However we cannot let it get to the point where we are heading now. Which is we are excluding our pro's from the majority of the tournaments and handicapping them in ways where their opponents might not even have to play well to win. We need to be embracing our talented players rather then turning our backs on them, and in a sense berating them for their high level play rather then celebrating it.
Finally I would like to make the point, if Tiger Woods came strolling into our local Golf Club, and decided to play the weekend tournament. Would everyone be saying to themselves "I am not playing because I don't have chance." I think not, people would be lining up to play because they have a chance to play with one of the best players in the world and see how he handles himself ,how he hits the ball, what his approach to the game is. It is the responsibility of all players and enthusiasts alike to treat our sport in the same way, because if we don't no one will.
Currently we have two Canadian players ranked well within the top 20 in the world, John Morra and Jason Klatt. They have done this with zero government support, minimal sponsorship and at time when the sport is recovering from the lowest point ever seen. A truly commendable accomplishment and a testament to their will and determination. I can guarantee you they got to this level by competing in hundreds of tournaments in which they where far from the favourite. I fear if we continue on this path we are just a few years away from a talent drain in our Canadian Pool community, which could be devastating to the future of competitive pool in Canada.

I was thinking about the phrase used in the bible to "Come, follow me". The Savior uses this phrase as He is calling to fishermen and inviting them to leave their work and to instead fish for men. He asks them to Follow Him.
That is the most important thing, to follow Christ. Why do we follow Him? Because He is good. He helps us become better. He reminds us of who we are and our divine potential. He is our Savior and knows us in a profound way through His suffering of the Atonement. We learn from His example of goodness.
I was thinking about social media and how we follow people on instagram, facebook, twitter, etc. We follow them. We may follow celebrities, talk show hosts, magazine editors, or old high school friends.
We are influenced by what they post. The pictures are stuck in our mind, the things they say bug us or inspire us. But by following someone we are in fact being influenced by them in a negative or positive way.
If we are asked to follow our Savior so that we can become more like Him and learn from Him, then wouldn't there be a correlation between who we are following or watching on social media? We are influenced by the people we follow, either in reality and who we spend real time with, or in virtual non reality.
So stop following people who make you feel bad. Stop following people who you compare yourself with. Stop following people who make you feel arrogant.
A few months ago I stopped following old high school friends who posted pictures that made me feel uncomfortable in any way. I wanted to feel uplifted by the people I follow and the people I associate with, even if it's only on Instagram or Facebook. I even stopped following people who posted pictures of babies with stats or accomplishments in the description. P.S. Totally fine for people to do this, it just wasn't okay for me to be comparing myself with them or feeling negative for seeing those things.
I chose to stop following people who weren't helping me become better and I feel like it clicked for me today. By doing that and by surrounding myself with uplifting images (like the editor of Bon Appetite posting what he's eating for dinner...yes please)! I was actually following my Savior more.
So stop following people if you want to. Here's your push. Go through your friends and delete those who make you compare yourself, who make you get angry because of the things they post, who post pictures that aren't appropriate.
Instead follow people who help you feel better about yourself, who you feel happy for in their happiness, and set good examples for you. By doing so, you are following our Savior who asks us to come and follow Him.

Much of the United States suffered through one of the worst weathers this past summer, and the Pacific Northwest Region was blessed again with a normal summer without excess rainfall, heat or humidity. At the same time, the grounds staff at Oakmont had to struggle with weather to complete the U.S. Women's Open, and both the U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Amateur were concluded in weather conditions that were challenging, yet helpful in achieving the desired goal of firm and fast. But what exactly is firm and fast?
The U.S. Senior Open was conducted at Sahalee CC in late July. To achieve firm and fast conditions in this heavily treed situation required far more than just the 30 maintenance staff, expertly led by Rich Taylor. It also involved another 20-30 volunteers who gave countless hours of assistance throughout the event. However, it was in the area of water management where Mr. Taylor and his staff truly hit the firm and fast home run. A combination of shutting off the automatic irrigation system and switching to precision irrigation (hand watering) minimized soft areas on the fairways, approaches and putting surfaces. The USGA TruFirm, along with the Spectrum 3000 moisture sensing unit, were used twice daily to apply suitable amounts of water over nine quadrants of each green. As the greens began to dry, USGA officials observed ball reaction early in the practice rounds, with a penetration value of 0.345 - 0.360 inches, the desired range for the four rounds of the championship. At the same time, the USGA Stimpmeter was used and a desired speed of 12'6 inches was determined to be perfect for the hole locations selected for the four rounds of the championship.
So, how close did the maintenance staff come to hitting the target of firm and fast? It was a bull's-eye, with all four days averaging 0.350 inches and the greens average from 12'3 – 12'9 inches. Players were positive, and turf loss did not occur. Mr. Taylor and his staff deserved the highest of accolades for the presentation of the golf course. This, then, led to Act II of the firm and fast Pacific Northwest play with the U.S. Amateur at Chambers Bay in late August.
As opposed to Sahalee, Chambers Bay has one tree on site. It is links-like golf with the ground dictating the action, and a place where lofted wedges are best left to rust. Again, Superintendent Dave Wienecke and his staff of 40 were not enough to maintain this type of championship, so nearly 50 volunteers from all over the Pacific Northwest assisted the maintenance staff. With nearly 90 acres of sand to rake daily, this site was dramatically different from Sahalee.
As with the Senior Open, the automatic irrigation system was shut down, yet earlier than the Poa annua dominated Sahalee site. The near-dominant fescue at Chambers Bay, with regionalUpdateContenting depths beyond six inches in the greens, and more than a foot on the fairways, required far less water. This exceptional drought tolerance resulted in a off-color and dormant golf course, yet is the essence of "firm and fast" that is so desired for links golf. The same tools used at the Senior Open were applied to Chambers Bay. During the prep week, USGA officials determined quite different values at Chambers Bay compared to Sahalee. In regard to green speed, it was decided that the heavily contoured greens at Chambers Bay could tolerate an average speed of 11'6 inches. The same held true for firmness, with the perfect ball reaction noted at the very low penetration value of 0.250-0.260 inches without wind, and 0.260-0.270 inches with wind. So, how did these values equate to the play of this longer lasting championship?
Green speeds were consistently 11'-11'6" during practice rounds, qualifying rounds and the five days of match play. When heavy winds were forecast, greens speeds were slowed down slightly to keep balls from rolling off the greens. Players and USGA officials alike had no concerns in regard to the fast part of the firm and fast equation.
On the firm side, significant information was discovered that will be useful in preparation for the 2015 U.S. Open Championship at Chambers Bay. The wind at Chambers Bay has a major effect on the surface of the greens when they are dried down well in advance of play. When qualifying rounds were over, eight minutes of water was applied to the entire golf course (firmer greens received slightly more) to replenish moisture in the 100% sand profile. The response was immediate, with softer-than-desirable firmness noted on some greens during the first round of match play. The next day brought even softer readings, as water wicked to the surface. Regardless of this interesting result, the three staff persons responsible for both late-afternoon and early-morning precision irrigation nailed the firmness that was desired for this unique site.
The superintendents and their staffs at both championships produced exactly the type of firm and fast playing conditions desired by the USGA. At the same time, there are take-home messages that golfers need to understand if you try to do this at your home course.
- You need a major increase in labor. This is especially true when it comes to precision irrigation compared to automatic systems.
- The dormant nature of fescue does not translate well to other cool season grasses. Most other cool season grasses just turn around and leave town.
- The vast majority of golfers are nowhere near the playing level of the best senior professionals and rising amateurs.
The concept of firm and fast is superior to what you get on a totally green golf course, and they are far less expensive to maintain. Some turf loss on fairways and roughs may occur with this philosophy, but most golf courses would be better off with a philosophy of playing-surface first, and color second, rather than the opposite approach. I, for one, hope firm and fast will last.

We also identified buy KU-0063794 the PEA15 Ser116 flanking sequences are very conserved amid mammals and it matches together with the presently characterized AMPK phosphorylation internet sites in a variety of substrates. These analyses suggested that PEA15 might be a substrate for AMPK. To assess this, we to start with gauged in the event the two proteins interacted. Co IP assays undertaken with MS lysates and MCF7 cells expressing myc tagged AMPK exposed association of AMPK with PEA15. We then assessed if AMPK can immediately phosphorylate PEA15. To accomplish so, we undertook in vitro kinase assays with commercially procured PEA15 and active hete rotrimeric sort of AMPK proteins. Subsequent im munoblot analysis utilizing an antibody that especially recognizes PEA15 phosphorylated at Ser116 residue exposed direct phosphorylation of this residue within the presence of energetic AMPK.

 In addition, in vi tro kinase assays performed inside the presence of ATP also confirmed direct phosphorylation of PEA15 by AMPK. As a result, these final results uncovered that PEA15 could indeed be a novel target of AMPK. Taken together, these buy Lenalidomide data revealed that activation of AMPK and phosphorylation of PEA15 at Ser116 facilitates MS formation by inhibiting apoptosis. Our examine thus iden tifies a novel AMPK PEA15 axis within the anoikis resistant outgrowth of a subset of normal HMECs as MS. AMPK PEA15 axis is critical to the anchorage independent growth of breast cancer cells Considering the fact that anchorage independent development is really a basic house of solid tumors, we following investigated should the AMPK PEA15 axis played any part inside the tumorigenicity of breast cancer cells.

 For this, we 1st in contrast the status of AMPK and PEA15 signaling in MCF7 and BT474 breast cancer cell lines grown as ADH monolayer cultures or as cancer spheres in methylcellulose. Immunoblot analysis revealed a significant LY2603618 価格 boost inside the ranges of pACC in cancer spheres when compared to ADH cultures, indicating activation of AMPK pathway in matrix deprived cancer cells, consistent with latest re ports. Compared to ADH cultures, cells rising as cancer spheres also showed a rise in the ranges of pPEA15 Ser116. ranges of total PEA15 didn't demonstrate any significant variation. Primary breast cancer derived cells also showed elevated AMPK action and pPEA15 Ser116 ranges compared to these developing in ADH problem.

 So, equivalent to HMECs, breast cancer cells also showed an increase in AMPK ac tivity and PEA15 Ser116 phosphorylation on matrix deprivation, suggesting the attainable involvement of an AMPK PEA15 axis inside the survival of matrix deprived breast cancer cells also. We up coming investigated the necessity of AMPK during the anchorage independent development of breast cancer cells as spheres. Remedy with AMPK inhibitor Compound C or knockdown of AMPK two substantially decreased sphere formation in MCF7, MDAMB231 and BT 474 breast cancer cell lines. Additional, inhibition or knockdown of AMPK also impaired PEA15 Ser116 phosphorylation in these cells, and greater apoptosis, as unveiled by elevated PARP amounts. As a result, these data revealed the necessity of AMPK activation for sphere formation by breast cancer cells. We following assessed the significance of PEA15 and its phosphorylation downstream of AMPK activation inside the anoikis resistant development of breast cancer cells.

United make Burnley pay
Manchester United struck three times after half-time to overcome battling Burnley 3-0 at Old Trafford.
Dimitar Berbatov broke the deadlock just after the hour mark when his shot flicked off Michael Duff and flew past Brian Jensen.
Wayne Rooney added his 16th goal of the season shortly afterwards and substitute Mame Biram Diouf added another late on to leave new manager Brian Laws to reflect on the failure of both Steven Fletcher and David Nugent to convert golden opportunities when the game was still deadlocked.
Although they dominated possession, it was not until the final minutes of the first half, when Nani's overhead kick was clawed behind by Brian Jensen that United looked dangerous.
Steven Fletcher should have made more of the opening period's best chance when he was played in by David Nugent. Fletcher went for the far corner but could only turn away in frustration as his shot rolled narrowly wide.
Just before the hour mark, Berbatov produced a brilliant piece of close control to turn onto Valencia's cross then, from six yards, drilled his shot wide. If Nugent had made them pay immediately afterwards, United would have had no-one to blame but themselves.
However, after latching onto Eagles' pass and outpacing Gary Neville, the former Preston striker failed to find the target. It proved to be a costly miss as United immediately enjoyed their pivotal five-minute purple patch.
First Berbatov's shot flicked past Jensen off the base of Michael Duff's foot to break the deadlock.
Then Rooney collected the rebound after Berbatov had been denied by the Burnley keeper and, after taking a while to steady himself, eventually drilled home.
New boy Diouf nodded Valencia's cross past the onrushing Jensen to complete the scoring.

Before 2008, the City of Rhome, Texas had never had a public park. Today, the community has a gathering place—and much more.
THE CITY OF RHOME, TEXAS has increasingly felt the effects of suburban growth from nearby Fort Worth—including increased demands on public services. In particular, residents clamored for a place where neighbors—especially children—could play and enjoy the outdoors.
Civic leaders approached Public Management, Inc. with the community's wishes. Soon, planning began for the first-ever public park in Rhome, Texas.
Early in the process, Public Management planners and project managers learned that the city owned one acre of undeveloped land in an accessible location close to a residential area. City officials worked with Public Management designers to map out a variety of recreational features and amenities.
Since the project was largely dependent on securing a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife (TP&W) Small Cities Grant program, the team followed a detailed grading system to ensure a successful application and funding.
The state granted Rhome $50,000 toward the park, and the city matched the grant with another $50,000. Public Management oversaw construction and TP&W compliance on the $100,000 project.
Rhome Family Park features a walking trail with exercise stations, a basketball court, a playground, BBQ grills, picnic tables, benches and a butterfly garden. It's not only a place for gathering and recreation, but also a source of pride for the entire community.
Before 2008, the City of Rhome, Texas had never had a public park. Today, the community has a gathering place—and much more.
By working together, the City of Brenham and Washington County fixed a bad situation—and made life safer and healthier for rural residents.
Going forward, city leaders will use the new plan for guidance to pursue other community goals—and to help facilitate economic development activities in line with Liberty's vision for the future.
Public Management helped ensure that each project addressed residents' needs, all while maintaining compliance with the various agencies' requirements for funding. Since many of the projects were financed with grant funds, city leaders were able to direct resources to other recovery efforts—and eliminate the need to issue bonds or increase taxes.
Public Management kept everyone focused on strengthening the community. That way, everyone could rally around a common vision—and a shared commitment.
Public Management oversaw the demolition and complete reconstruction of 11 single-family homes—each of which met or exceeded HUD and IBC standards for safe, decent housing.
Big things are happening in communities large and small. See how we've helped.

So...what do you do when it's perfect weather and your boys are full of energy? Ride bikes, of course!!! I found a vacant parking lot by the old fire station that they could scoot around without worrying about getting hit by cars. :)
Pedal faster!
Corbin's concentrating hard, so he won't fall off the bike.
Gage fell off one too many times...so by the time I took this picture...he was done!
In the middle of the bike ride...the boys started bunny hunting. (bunny running on the sidewalk) Very short attention spans!
Well, this is my first week of my break from school and there is 0% precipitation in the forecast...so I'm sure we'll be having a lot of outdoor fun this week! Stay tuned...

The traffic consists of bicycles and motorcycles and the drivers honk all the time to alert pedestrians and other drivers around the corner. I can imagine that during rush hour there are accidents. Its a lot of scratches and damage on the walls at the corners. I am convinced that it is from the motorcycles crashing into the wall.
During my first weeks I got lost all the time. If you give it some time and learn to find your way you will discover amazing things. All of a sudden the narrow alleys opens up and there is a crowded market place with vegetables, meat and fish in every shape you can imagine. And its fresh to. Fish and shrimps splash around in pods and hens cluck in their cages unaware that they are about to be slaughtered.
For those who do not like big open spaces, it is ideal to live here ( This is not to recommend for Ulf Lundell). Most things can be arranged and purchased here. You do not need to leave the alleys. So far, I have seen hairdressers, restaurants, cafes, shops, tailors, massage therapists, dentists, watchmakers, blacksmith, garages and repairshops of all kinds. You name it, its probably there just around the corner.

Law, Economics and Evolutionary Theory
Edited by Peer Zumbansen and Gralf-Peter Calliess
Chapter 2: The Unbearable Lightness of A – Useful Knowledge and Economic Growth
Thráinn Eggertsson
Thráinn Eggertsson 1. INTRODUCTION Economists usually sing with the same hymn sheet when they are questioned about the role of technology in economic growth. They generally agree that sustained long-term growth in productivity, which began in Western Europe some two centuries ago, could not have been maintained in an environment of stagnant production technologies. Whether we consult Karl Heinrich Marx, Joseph Alois Schumpeter or Robert Merton Solow, the answer is the same: new technologies are the source of long-term economic growth. Economists, as we know, usually argue that the production and utilization of new technologies depend critically on appropriate social institutions, such as competition, decentralized markets, secure property rights, enforceable contracts, and norms of trust and reciprocity. Yet virtually no one argues that long-term growth in output per worker is possible in an economy with stationary production techniques.1 In his pioneering contribution to modern (neo-classical) growth theory, Solow (1956; 1957) uses the letter A to represent technology. Specifically, in Solow-type growth models the letter A symbolizes the stock of technology, which for convenience is assumed to increase with time at a fixed rate. The exogenous increase in A is assumed to be labor saving, which means that technical change makes it possible to produce a given level of output by using fewer labor units than before and the same amount of capital. In equation (1) y, average output per capita for an economy, is a function of the state of technology, A, and the ratio of capital to labor,...

Salmon Cakes with Avocado Salsa
Salmon cakes with avocado salsa – healthy fats – yummy taste – growing brains.
Yes, Please!!
The Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and avocado are super healthy, so many amazing benefits and support of brain development and health. Getting your kids to eat them, not always easy. Kids can be picky about fish. That is why these salmon cakes are the perfect solution to getting your kids to eating this healthy fish.
These were a huge hit with my family. Using canned wild salmon is significantly less expensive than buying it fresh or frozen. Plus, you can stash several cans in your pantry to whip up dinner in no time at all.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days (or freeze for up to 3 months). To reheat, microwave 20 to 30 seconds; check the temperature before serving.

This is the story of the formation of the Justice League, an alliance of superheroes formed to fight evil in the world. Batman and Superman make the most appearances, but the cast also includes Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and The Flash, among others. The villains are sufficiently evil, challenging the superheroes at all turns. A fast pace and first-rate production will please young adults. S.D.

Hello all you beautiful souls. Firstly, I want thank you for the support on my latest post, I am overwhelmed with the responses I've received. I worked on that post for a really long time and it truly means a lot to me. If you haven't read it yet (what are you doing with your life man?), you can check it out here.
Anyhoo, considering the huge responses I get to real life posts, I thought why not expand a bit more. This one is something that I don't really speak about to many people because I often feel like its a bit controversial. I say this because I've heard many conversations between people on opposing sides and whilst I do love a good debate, this really comes down to preference. So whilst I will be covering just one perspective, just know that ultimately it comes down to you. Take it or leave it, I guess.
Right, let's get the obvious's out of the way : I come from a middle class (sort of) Indian family in Durban, I had a baby when I was 17, I had a High School education and I had never traveled out of the City until I was 22, I think. These are important to mention so that you can gauge what type of circumstances I had and why I had to choose the decisions that I did. I think it's safe to say that growing up in a small Indian community definitely affects your decisions, especially when you're a female. It isn't really ideal to move out of your parents' house when you're 18, for a number of reasons – let's list some of them :
Why not?
- Financial reasons – this one will apply to everyone who does not have loads of cash waiting in their trust fund for when they turn 18. And let's be honest here, stuff is extremely expensive, so if you're telling me that at 18, you are able to afford rent, food AND petrol… please show me your ways because I am 26 and still eat 2-minute noodles lol. And if you're a student then your parents are already taking out a second mortgage just to cover textbooks every year. You still need to worry about paying for electricity, water and the real devil – DATA. I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it's extremely difficult – especially with the state of debt that we as a nation are in.
- Family dynamics (or lack thereof) – no Indian person can tell me that their parent/s are REALLY happy when their kid moves out. We all heard the usual threats, "You must just go and live on your own if you don't want to listen", and "When I'm not around, then you will know", or my personal favourite, "I will have so much of peace when you leave this house". We all know that those are just words spoken out of anger/frustration and the day you even THINK of moving out, their hearts will be aching. This is a tough one because on the one hand, we have a young person who needs to be on their own in order to learn responsibility and grow as an individual but on the other hand, the parents are just experts at mollycoddling. Most of the time, this results in an entitled adult, unable to take care of themselves and we just see these vicious cycles based on an unhealthy dependency.
- Outside influences – sadly, I don't think that this is just limited to the Indian community. We just are so concerned with what other people think or what they say that we neglect to see what is important for our own growth. Instead of seeing moving out as a form of liberation, a start of a new chapter in your life, a right of passage to adulthood, it starts to seem wrong because you're too young? Are you though?
You know, these few reasons can just discourage you completely from wanting to move out on your own. Sometimes it's so easy to just crawl back into that small-town mentality and just want to live with your mother until she leaves. So what could moving out possibly teach you? I'm going to share a few things that I've learnt, and am still learning :
What I've learnt
- Respect – this one seems weird, but it's a new found respect that I have for my mother. She worked a full-time job, had 2 children and yet you would still struggle to find a stained dishcloth anywhere in the house. I cannot begin to tell you how extremely lazy I was growing up, I HATED cleaning up, washing dishes (I still hate dishes), ironing and just about anything that meant me being pried away from the TV. I lived with my father for a bit and he's always been the one who did everything for me, so best believe that when I got a place of my own, it was SO difficult for me to adjust. Heck, I'm still adjusting, but I really do take my hat off for everyone who runs a household. You're a real one.
- Financial Independence – I almost don't want to share too much on this because I'm not the most financially savvy person there is. It's really sad though because financial education is IMPERATIVE to everyone. But what I can say is that having to pay R80 for a block of cheese really puts things into perspective for you. Moving out on your own (should) force you to budget properly, maybe even be a little less frivolous when it comes to spending your hard earned money. This is actually something that we're trying to teach to my 9 year old because THAT is how important money management is.
- Getting to know ME – I can't even begin to put into words how much I've changed over the years – I don't even think that I'm the same person that I was yesterday. And this is such an amazing journey that you will find yourself on, which is why it is so important that you take on this journey by yourself. It is so much easier to have your own space and "find yourself". Remember in my previous post, I mentioned healing yourself and being complete – being alone doesn't have to mean that you're lonely. Some of the best conversations that I've had were with myself – really, I hardly ever disagree with myself! But trust me, knowing exactly who you are is so much easier to do BEFORE you attempt to let someone else figure you out.
- Responsibility & Accountability – I think this one is just an expansion of my first point. There's just something about having to do laundry every single day that just humbles you, you know? (I'm actually crying on the inside because that laundry basket is bottomless) This is for both males and females because this sort of thing sets you up for the kind of life you will probably have with your significant other. I've had my fair share of relationships where I was "expected" to be a servant at home – not because they were physically unable to put a plate in the sink but because they've never had to take care of themselves. PARENTS, STOP DOING THAT TO YOUR KIDS! It just creates such crappy human beings and unhealthy future relationships… we don't need that. Over time, it starts becoming less of a duty and more of a habit. Also, if you can afford to pay someone to do these things for you – no shame in that. To each their own.
- Maturity – this is and isn't an age specific thing. But there needs to be context because you need all of these things to almost work hand-in-hand. You're not really going to know what maturity is if you don't understand what it takes to run a household. Whatever that means to you – paying the bills, budgeting, cleaning, cooking, etc. You're not going to be a mature individual if you haven't been able to grow as a person – sometimes this comes with time or experience and other times you can realise it on your own. I can tell you that it is important to remember that there is a time for everything so don't be in a rush to be mature. It's kind of tricky this one, but I would bring it back to knowing yourself and where you are as a person. Can you track Bitcoin prices and still watch Spongebob? Sure, there are split screens. 🙂
If you want to read a bit more on moving out or if you're considering it, check out this article. There are so many resources available online and you can even speak to someone that you trust. These are important conversations though, so be mindful of the source.
Did you like this one? Let me know about anything you'd like to add or want me to expand on. I love hearing from you.
Until next time
