Learning outcomes
At the end of this module you will be able to:
Identify some strategies for explaining decisions to children.
Identify strategies to help children determine what course of action to pursue next.
Understand how you might use children's rights to support an appeal.
Appreciate the importance of working in conjunction with other services to support the child's wider needs.
If you can, please bring with you or have available the list or database of organisations to which you refer or signpost clients for support or advice on issues such as welfare benefits, asylum support, healthcare including mental health. You may also have a list of organisations providing general support, advocacy, or peer support.
It is a lawyer's responsibility to ensure that their child clients understand any decisions that are taken in relation to their case. This is important because:
The decision may have a profound impact on the child's life in the short, medium and/or longer term. Having a clear explanation of the decision and why it has been taken can help the child (and, indeed, those responsible for their care) to live with it. The advice you give now may be something that the child comes back to as they grow up.
The child needs to understand the decision before they can instruct you on how to act on it, particularly if there are options for further legal challenges.
Formal judicial decisions may present the child with other decisions linked, for example, to accessing ongoing support, such as social and welfare services. Children will need to understand their rights and obligations in order to make decisions in the future.
It is important that the child knows how and when to come back to you for further advice if a decision is not enforced properly or if their circumstances change.
Judgments and court rulings affecting children should be duly reasoned and explained to them in language that children can understand, particularly those decisions in which the child's views and opinions have not been followed.
Guideline 75
The child's lawyer, guardian ad litem or legal representative should communicate and explain the given decision or judgment to the child in a language adapted to the child's level of understanding and should give the necessary information on possible measures that could be taken, such as appeal or independent complaint mechanisms.
Explaining decisions to children
It is critically important to provide an honest, complete and clear explanation to a child of any official decision relating to their case. The explanation should include three main elements:
What has been decided
The reasons given for the decision, including the extent to which the child's expressed wishes and feelings were taken into account (although this may not always be apparent in the judge's reasoning).
The implications of the decision for the child in the short, medium and longer term. This should be as comprehensive as possible, and might cover immediate enforcement, further appeal, sanctions, access to compensation, criminal records, access to higher education, implications for family members, etc.
You should refer back to the materials in module 2 for suggestions of good practice when taking instruction from a child since many of the communication strategies outlined there will apply here as well.
Providing an honest and clear explanation can be difficult, particularly where the decision is not what the child was hoping for and where it has grave (perhaps even life-changing) consequences, such as removal or deportation of the child or a family member, loss of contact with a family member, or imprisonment. If you have carefully managed the child's expectations from the very outset of the case, this will go some way towards preparing the child for negative outcomes (see Modules 1, 2 and 4) but is unlikely to eliminate upset or distress. You will need to take into account that a child, like any other client, may find it difficult or impossible to take in information in the immediate aftermath of hearing bad news. With this in mind, think carefully not just about how you go about explaining decisions to a child, but when.
Belt and Braces: the importance of both written AND Face-to-face explanations
Decisions should always be explained in written form, usually in an advice letter. You will have already had experience of drafting a child friendly advice letter if you have completed module 2. Think seriously about whether your standard letters communicate decisions to children in the clearest, most sensitive terms possible. Since judges do not routinely address their judgments directly to children, your explanation is likely to be the only enduring record that the child will have of the decision. Look at the example provided by Peter Jackson in Re A: Letter to a Young Person [2017] EWFC 48 for some inspiration on how to communicate a decision to a teenager in the form of a letter.
Even the most child friendly written letter should be preceded by a face-to-face meeting with the child to explain the decision. A face-to-face meeting achieves three key aims:
To gauge the child's reaction to and understanding of the decision and of its implications. This is particularly important for decisions that deal with complex evidential and legal issues. Observing the child's reactions face-to-face will also enable you to assess what further support might be needed.
To consider what should happen next and to give the child the chance to ask questions on some of the wider implications of the decision. An example in an immigration case might be how they access funding for higher education or whether they can apply to be joined by their family members living elsewhere. In family cases, the child may have questions about how the decision will affect their schooling, their friendships, contact with siblings or grandparents, whether they can see their case file, and what might happen when they turn 18. You may have to prompt the child to consider some of these issues if it is appropriate to do so, as in many cases they may not be sufficiently informed or confident to raise them.
If there are options for challenging the decision, you can present these to the child and take instructions on what he or she would like to happen next. You might also need a meeting to complete legal aid forms and gather further information to support such a challenge.
To provide the child with a sense of closure if the decision marks the end of your involvement with them. This may involve signposting or referring the child to other sources of support that lie beyond the scope of legal advice and representation, and ensuring that the child is fully aware of how to contact you should they need help in the future.
Immigration law scenario
You represent an unaccompanied child asylum seeker – you have received a decision refusing asylum but granting leave to remain until just before the child's 18th birthday.
You know that you have an option to appeal the asylum decision, and judge the chances of success to be moderate.
Your view is that if you do not appeal that the Home Office will likely refuse to extend leave to remain and try to remove once your client is 18. You know that the chances of an asylum claim succeeding - if raised at the point of removal once the child is over 18 - are poor. In particular, you know that if the appeal is brought whilst they are still a child a more generous view will be taken of their evidence.
- What do you say to the child about the Home Office's decision? How much detail do you give about the reasons for refusal? Do you present this as a good outcome or a bad outcome? What do you tell them about their rights, their responsibilities, access to support and similar?
- What do you say to the child about the option of appealing? How much detail do you give about what is involved in this course of action? What do you say about legal aid? How do you encourage the child to instruct you to lodge the appeal? Or do you take their instructions on this issue for granted, given your advice about the importance of appealing now?
- What do you say to the child about the implications of not exercising their right of appeal and waiting until they are 18?
NB: In reflecting on your potential approach to this scenario, you may find it useful to consider some of the basic mistakes that lawyers make in this area, as revealed in recent research by Kent Law Clinic.
In this case, the Home Office decision is mixed news. Your client will be pleased that they have been given some form of leave, but this is the minimum that could be expected and you will already have advised them that current Home Office policy is to give leave to a child until they are 17.5 years old. You will want to advise in some detail about their rights and responsibilities, and what to expect, but you will also want to tell them why their claim has been refused and your view of the reasons for refusal.
This child should have strong advice encouraging them to appeal – for the reasons set out in the scenario – appealing and securing refugee status or HP is their best chance of long term leave to remain in the UK. You can advise about the availability of legal aid (CLR), complete the CLR form, and ask for specific instructions to lodge the appeal.
You should give detailed advice about the dangers of not exercising their right to appeal. Once they are 18 it will be harder to win an asylum appeal since they will not be afforded a more generous approach as a child, the vulnerable witness guidelines may well no longer apply, and it will be harder for them to give an accurate account of events which will be in the more distant past.
Family law scenario
You are representing a 13 year-old boy, Michael. He was removed from the care of his mother and placed in foster care when it came to the attention of the local authorities that his Mother had left him on his own while she travelled to Ireland for a holiday without having made proper arrangements for Michael's care.
Michael, who has full, independent party status in the proceedings, wishes desperately to return to the care of his mother and applied for leave to give evidence to the court via video link since he does not feel that the strength of his feelings [are] being sufficiently understood and expressed to the court.
The judge at first instance had met with Michael in her room in the presence of his solicitor and the guardian. The judge explained that she did not wish to use the meeting as an opportunity to ascertain Michael's wishes and feelings, because those wishes and feelings were already perfectly obvious from formal reports that the Court received. Instead, the judge used that meeting to explain to Michael that the task of the Court is to achieve a welfare outcome for the children, and that the Court has to look at the whole picture, all the evidence that is available about the children and about the people who have been looking after them.
The judge dismisses Michael's application to be returned to the care of his mother and his application to give evidence to the court on the basis that "…the giving of that evidence may make matters significantly harder for him should the case go against his express wishes", particularly as he may well feel responsible for the final decision.
- How do you go about explaining the different components of this decision to Michael?
- Do you agree with the judge's decision? If so, how does that affect your advice to Michael regarding next steps?
- Do you think there is a reasonable prospect of a successful appeal, and on what grounds would you propose pursuing an appeal? How do you explain these options to Michael? (see below)
- How do you go about ascertaining and facilitating support for Michael's related welfare needs?
This scenario is based on the real-life decision of P-S (Children) [2013] EWCA Civ 223 (note that the Court of Appeal upheld the decision but an alternative, fictive version has been drafted by Jane Williams as part of the Children's Rights Judgments Project, published in Rewriting Children's Rights Judgments: From Academic Vision to New Practice (2017, Oxford, Hart).
- Private judicial meetings with children are a weak substitute for direct participation as a witness in proceedings. The former places emphasis on the judge having the opportunity to explain to the child what' s going on in the process, not on the child having an opportunity to speak and the judge to listen and take those views into account.
- Should the views, wishes and feelings of a mature and eloquent teenager carry more weight than other welfare factors in such a case? Note, for example, the guidance of Thorpe LJ in Mabon v Mabon and others [2005] EWCA Civ 634. Here the Court of Appeal referred to the UK's obligations under Article 12 UNCRC and Article 8 ECHR and stated that the applicable domestic law was framed widely enough to meet international obligations under the UNCRC provided that:
'judges correctly focus on the sufficiency of the child's understanding and, in measuring that sufficiency, reflect the extent to which, in the 21st Century, there is a keener appreciation of the autonomy of the child and the child's consequential right to participate in decision making processes that fundamentally affect his family life' (per Thorpe LJ, para 26).
- Note also the comments of Briggs LJ in the factually similar case of Re R [2015] EWCA Civ 167, para 36 (in adhering to the wishes of a 14 year old girl to give evidence directly to the court concerning alleged sexual abuse by her father):
"The risk of harm which the process may cause to this bright and articulate fourteen-year- old does not seem to me to be more substantial than the risk of long-term harm at being denied the opportunity to have her evidence properly weighed in the determination by a court of matters of the utmost importance to her"
Appeals and further proceedings
Of course, the chance of a further appeal succeeding, and of getting legal aid funding to proceed, will depend on various factors – there are some factors outside your control, but there are others that are within it.
Following a children's rights approach (as set out in Modules 1, 2, 3 and 4) will mean you have laid the best foundations for an effective appeal. This could be on procedural grounds (if, for example, there was insufficient opportunity for the child to be heard) or substantive grounds (for example, a failure to properly assess best interests – after you have argued for an expansive approach to this issue). In other words, introducing children's rights arguments at an early stage and ensuring that these remain "live" throughout the case may provide you with the possibility of an onward appeal against a Tribunal or Court decision. Watch the video in Part 3 of Module 3 where the lawyer makes the point that front-loading children's rights arguments is important if you want to rely on them later in the process. It is very difficult to introduce new arguments on appeal from a first hearing.
You may have exhausted all domestic routes of appeal and want to consider if there are any international remedies available. Module 6 provides further guidance about this option. If so, you may find it useful to refer to the checklist of factors to consider if you are thinking about taking a case to the European Court of Human Rights, produced by the IDEA project.
Reflecting on your performance
An important aspect of any lawyer's development is the ability to reflect critically on their performance. A children's rights-based approach suggests that this involves eliciting feedback from your child client, ideally as the case progresses so that problematic practice can be corrected early, but certainly at the end of a case to enable you to improve your practice for future cases.
Reflective exercise
- What, in your view, is the purpose (if any) of obtaining feedback from child clients?
- Do you take time to get feedback from child client? If so, when?
- What form does this take? Is it in written (questionnaire) form, verbal or online?
- Can you experiment with other forms of communication (eg text / WhatsApp) to improve response rates?
- Are the questions child-friendly and do they specifically ask about issues of concern to child clients?
- Is there an independent mechanism of obtaining feedback to enable the child to do this honestly?
- How do you act on the feedback you receive?
- If the child raises specific issues that require action, how do you communicate your responses/action to the child?
- Look at the following feedback forms produced by CAFCASS for younger children and older children. Do you think this approach is helpful? What improvements would you make (if any) to this?
- Have you ever considered using a feedback app such as the Smiley Touch developed by 'happy or not'. What are the advantages/disadvantages of this type of tool for your practice?
After judgments in highly conflictual proceedings, guidance and support should be offered, ideally free of charge, to children and their families by specialised services.
Guideline 80
Particular health care and appropriate social and therapeutic intervention programmes or measures for victims of neglect, violence, abuse or other crimes should be provided, ideally free of charge, and children and their caregivers should be promptly and adequately informed of the availability of such services.
Closing files but keeping the door open
When you conclude a case, it is best practice to ensure that your client understands when they should revert to you for further advice and when they can do this. To do so, they will need to understand what to expect in the coming months and years. It is not uncommon for children to be involved in further proceedings, sometimes related to the case on which you have already provided representation, but sometimes in relation to a different issue.
When a decision has not been enforced, children should be informed, possibly through their lawyer, guardian ad litem or legal representative, of available remedies either through non-judicial mechanisms or access to justice.
In addition, there will be instances in which a decision reached in relation to a child has not been fully enforced, in which case the child may need advice and further support to give full effect to the decision. In all of these scenarios, it is important that the child has the opportunity to turn to a trusted advisor and advocate for follow-up assistance.
It is also important that the child is left with a clear indication of precisely who to go to for related non-legal support
Reflective exercise
- Do you leave it to children who have been clients to request follow-up support from you? Could you consider being proactive here, for example in a case where a child has been taken into care following up at fixed intervals to check up on progress? (NB it would probably be necessary to ask the child for permission to do this at the end of their case if you decide to adopt this approach).
- Do you do anything to check that the services or professionals to whom you have directed the child are responding as they should? If you work in a legal aid practice, there are contractual requirements to monitor what happens to referrals, but not in relation to signposting.
- Are there other young people (eg. support, campaign and advocacy groups involving other young people) that your client can be referred to and perhaps become more involved with as a member?

Based on a song from the album 'Professin' the Blues' this assemblage features Mardi Gras beads from Teddy's Juke Joint, Louisiana, with a patch from Tater Red's on Beale St, Memphis and painted poker chips...
Welcome to the new MERCH & ART STORE!
Here's where you buy can direct CONCERT TICKETS for selected shows - and matt framed ART PRINTS of Fiona's Mississippi-style folk art and photography, recently featured at selected gigs. Print images are 8"x10", in cello envelopes and posted in rigid mailers.
Based on a song from the album 'Professin'the Blues', this sculptural piece features a Gentleman Jack Tennessee whiskey bottle (contents consumed while on tour!) with BBQ rib bone, poker chips and Mardi Gras bead decorations.
An old church building behind my house provided the signature colour for my 'Box & Dice' album, with the cigar box guitar of the same name photographed here framed in one of the old hall windows.
With Mardi Gras beads from Teddy's iconic Juke Joint, this piece (based on a song from the 'Professin' the Blues' album) also incorporated a 'Day of the Dead' clergyman, a souvenir from one fo my recording trips to Austin, Texas
Playing cards, poker chips, bottle caps, BBQ rib bone...I went to town with this assemblage, even including the plastic 'grass' from some sushi take-away! The song of the same name can be found on 'Professin' the Blues' album
'Our Lady of Guadalupe' came from Mexico - a port-of-call souvenir from playing the USA Lefendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise. Here she's reflected in the shiny front of my Beeton resonator guitar. This photo was part of the CD package design for my 'Blues for Hard Times' album.
Another photographic image from the 'Blues for Hard Times' album - this moody shot of my Beeton resonator guitar was taken late at night, against a looming deadline for album artwork! It marks the beginning of my recent love affair with photography and folk art...
Hand-made embossing foil 'Milagros' heart combined with playing cards, beads and lucky charms, this piece is inspired by the song of the same name on my 'Professin' the Blues' album.
So many relocations! This little painted & decorated canvas was photographed on a 'bed' of maps from the local phone book, just before we left town to search (again!) for a new home. The song of the same name can be found on my 'Professin' the Blues' album, and is inspired by a sermon from The Preacher based on Jeremiah 6:16
'Card Sharp' (from 'Professin' the Blues') is one of the first pieces I made combining photography and folk art. Dice, poker ships and playing cards seemed right for the theme of a gambling, cheating man!
A detail from a series of pieces responding to the many 'flood' stories of the Clarence River, near my new home. The background are layers of glues tissue paper, soft pencil and acrylic washes, with the angel fashioned from embossing foil with oil paint decoration. The beautiful ballad that accompanying this image is on my 'Professin' the Blues' album.

Diamonds are the most sparkling, brilliant stones available on the market with a luster that is called adamantine which means unbreakable or extremely hard substance. Diamonds are indeed the hardest mineral on earth, with a hardness of 10 on the Mohs Scale of Mineral hardness. This scale is based on the ability of minerals of being scratch resistant, where a harder material scratches a softer material. Diamond being the only one at the top of the chart, with a 10 and talc being at the bottom with a 1.
This is one of the reasons diamonds are a perfect investment as they are durable over time and will not perish or get damaged very easily. But here are another 2 great reasons diamonds will always be a safe bet.
- The use of diamonds for industrial purposes
- The strict supply chain making diamonds an ethical investment
Most viewed diamond jewels
1.00 carat solitaire diamond ring in white gold with side diamondsFrom € 1.840 (excl. VAT)
1.20 carat solitaire diamond ring in white gold with side diamondsFrom € 1.840 (excl. VAT)

0.50 carat solitaire ring (full set) in red gold with side diamondsFrom € 3.030 (excl. VAT)
0.58 carat solitaire ring in platinum with oval diamondFrom € 2.250 (excl. VAT)
The use of diamonds for industrial purposes
Did you know that diamonds are not only used for jewellery and that gem quality diamonds only actually account for 25-30% of the worlds production? The rest is actually used in a variety of applications that are mainly industrial.
Industrial diamonds are mostly used in various manufacturing processes such as for the cutting, grinding, drilling, and polishing of gem quality diamonds and gemstones. The hardness and its heat conductive characteristics being the main qualities sought after in these procedures.
But that is not the only use, you can find diamonds in windows that cover x-rays and other rays, in microchips where they are used as a coating to conduct electricity and in other laboratory and medical equipments.
The strict supply chain making diamonds an ethical investment
We agree that in the past, just like when any other treasures were found, the discoveries of diamonds may have caused many problems, in particular in less resourceful, conflict-zone countries. The so-called blood diamonds have been an issue for decades, but countries & governments have united in the fight to eradicate conflict diamonds and in trying to make the supply chain ethical again.
This was achieved when the Kimberly Process (KP) was created. KP's commitment is to completely remove conflict diamonds from the global supply chain by imposing extensive requirements to its participants in a binding agreement. By preventing the free flow of conflict diamonds, the KP helps protecting the legitimate rough diamond trade, making the supply chain more ethical and reliable.
It is an international certification scheme that guarantees you are not purchasing a stone that has illegitimately funded wars against governments and mistreated people and children in the mines.
BAUNAT is proud to present its diamonds from a carefully controlled developed network of 'niche' diamond manufacturers, mainly located in Surat (India), providing the best quality product at a highly competitive pricing.

Both the Chaser books, Chaser and Raining Men, were books that I was not sure I was going to like but for every different reasons: Chaser because of it's interesting 'chubby chaser' theme and Raining Men because of my feelings towards the main character based on the experience of the first book. Luckily I enjoyed both immensely!
The Chaser series:
- Chaser (Book #1) Click to check out my review of Chaser
- Raining Men (Book #2) – in this review
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Blurb…
The character you loved to hate in Chaser becomes the character you will simply love in Raining Men.
It's been raining men for most of Bobby Nelson's adult life. Normally, he wouldn't have it any other way, but lately something's missing. Now, he wants the deluge to slow to a single special drop. But is it even possible for Bobby to find "the one" after endless years of hooking up?
When Bobby's father passes away, Bobby finally examines his rocky relationship with the man and how it might have contributed to his inability to find the love he yearns for. Guided by a sexy therapist, a Sex Addicts Anonymous group, a well-endowed Chihuahua named Johnny Wadd, and Bobby's own cache of memories, Bobby takes a spiritual, sexual, and emotional journey to discover that life's most satisfactory love connections lie in quality, not quantity. And when he's ready to love not only himself but someone else, sex and love fit, at last, into one perfect package
So what did I think?
Bobby did some pretty terrible things in Chaser, treating his best friend really poorly. So poorly that I thought he would really struggle to redeem himself in my eyes. However, Raining Men provides insight that really allows us to see deep inside Bobby to better understand why he did the things he did.
We get quite a different perspective of Bobby in this book. Originally he is portrayed as a really good looking guy who can get anyone he wants and he only settles for the best and most gorgeous guys. But in reality he has deep issues manifesting in a destructive sex addiction which results in him taking on nearly anyone and anything.
The first half of the story really focuses on Bobby and his behaviour, the men he hooks up with and his first attempts at getting help. A family tragedy also gets him thinking about his upbringing and his father. Plus he continues to dwell on how he betrayed Caden, wanting to make amends. It isn't exactly an enjoyable read, more an emotional journey where I really started to feel Bobby's pain.
There are two key men who come into Bobby's life, both of whom understand his issues, have been there themselves and can offer support and empathy. During the second half of the book, Bobby starts to explore a new relationship but continues to face heart-break and rejection.
What made this story great for me were the changes in Bobby, the idea that you can change the way you live your life, that there are such things as forgiveness and second chances and ultimately that everyone deserves love.
The book starts with Bobby dreaming to the song "It's Raining Men" by Martha Wash and the Weather Girls so I thought I would end with the song!

With each 10' x 10' booth purchased, your company receives one complimentary full-conference registration, which includes access to technical sessions, the exhibit hall, and all conference meal functions. Additional persons from your company who are either planning on attending sessions, or only need access to the exhibit booth, will need to register for an appropriate pass.
The goal of show management is to provide our exhibitors with the maximum amount of unopposed exhibit time possible, to maximize face-to-face networking between our exhibitors and their customers. We do this by offering all of our meals and refreshments in the exhibit hall – you will find morning and afternoon coffee and snacks served exclusively in the exhibit hall, as well as a daily lunch buffet. These meal functions are included in the cost of your exhibitor pass.
Exhibitors can customize their ION GNSS+ online exhibitor profile by uploading a logo, adding a company description, providing contact information to attendees, and even uploading electronic brochures. This information will be available to all attendees who visit the online exhibitor directory. You may edit your online exhibitor listing by logging into your ION web account, clicking on "My Account" and then clicking on the appropriate meeting listing under "My Exhibit Hall Profiles." If you have not yet set up a web account, you will need to do that first.

Views for and against, along with middle of the road opinions were expressed last night when educators got together to share thought on 'The relevance of a single sex school in the 21st century' as part of the Springer Memorial School's 50th anniversary celebrations.
The discussion was moderated by principal of Graydon Sealy Secondary School, Matthew Farley, and panelists were former Springer student and head girl, Bibi Aziz; UWI lecturer, Dr Ian Marshall; French and music teacher, Pastor Glenworth Joseph; former Coleridge Parry Principal, Senator Alwyn Adams; and head of Harrison's College English department and former Springer student, Dr Marva Lashley.
Dr Lashley's opening remarks appeared to forebear what emerged as the sentiments of panelists and members of the audience, comprising mainly teachers from a number of Barbados schools, and former Springer students, some of whom are now teaching at that institution.
"I believe that we need a lot of different changes. So I believe that we need single sex schools, and I believe that we need co-education schools. I believe we need schools for children with disabilities and for children without," she said.

Reed and Steve discuss many of the sights and sounds that they saw at the 2013 NRA show.
Welcome to episode #23 of the AR15 Podcast. I'm your host Reed Snyder with Co-host Steve, from Gun Guy Radio. This is THEE podcast about youuurrrr favorite black rifle! This show is for you; whether you're building your first AR or you've been building ARs for years. There's something we can all do to take our black rifle to the next level.
AR-15 Product of the Week:
Main Topic: NRA Show Wrapup
- State of the Industry
- Future of the MSR
- People are people everywhere
- Some ideas for the podcast
Listener Feedback:
Bill in Virginia: Hey Guys, great show , learning alot about ARs and how easy they are to work on and wish you could talk a little about the different triggers that are available because the standard triggers are gritty and hard to pull to pull and not very accurate. Thanks for an informative show
Warner: Love the show and thanks for taking to time to teach others about self defense making us laugh at your expense while doing it! I have just picked up shooting, a couple years now even though i have been active duty USAF for about 10 years. I am moving to Belgium and cannot bring my firearms, but want to continue to train and learn. I also want to keep my family interested, so my only two options for weapons training seems to be either a Basic SIRT pistol or a LoneWolf Dist airsoft pistol to train at home. I have a Glock 19 and that is the firearm my wife and I enjoy shooting th most so I\'d like to continue training on that platform while still having something for the kids to safely start handling. What do you think about either option for the price point? Thanks! I have been spreading the words to all my fellow Airman about you shows and affiliates here in Korea. God Bless the USA.
15% discount on SIRT products with FRNNRA2013 or LoneWolf 10% with FRN
Bill Stauter: Jake,
What are your thoughts on DPMS Panther Arms? Do they make a good product. I\'m looking for an AR that I can put a .22LR conversion and have a plinker that has multiple uses. Just curious on your thoughts.
Bryan Bolivar: Good interview with Mike Hughes on the SIRT AR-15 bolt. My co-host at I both have one and we really like them.
We did a review on episode 25 of Canadian Service Conditions Radio including tips on how to do the initial install. It\'s not really hard to figure out but we can all do with with a little help from our friends. I\'ll also say that the staff at Next Level Training are helpful and friendly. Don\'t hesitate to get in touch with them directly with questions and about ordering.
Here is a link the the episode.
Jared from NJ: I don't know if this e-mail will reach you in time before the NRA show or not. However if it does, check out the booth for Windham Weaponry.
When Bushmaster was sold to Freedom Group, a bunch of the employees from Bushmaster did not want to put up with bologna and limitations that Freedom Group put upon them. Therefore, they breached off and started Windham Weaponry. Windham is the name of the town that Bushmaster was based in up in Maine.
I own one of their NJ compliant AR-15's and absolutely love it.
Mike F.: Hey guys, PA reporting in. Here's a story generating some buzz in the local news. The sheriff of Chester County, Carolyn Bunny Walsh, is holding a fundraising raffle to help fund K-9 units. $20 a ticket gets your name in the running for bum...bum...bummmm..... a Colt AR-15! For better or for worse (and judging by how our neighboring states are looking, it may be worse), the scary black rifle is the topic of discussion.
Here's the link I read:
Keep rockin on!
Ps, I'm hoping to pick up an M&P Shield 9 at the Eagle Arms show this coming +Saturday. What\'s a fair price?

Overnight and early morning downpours swept from south to north across New England, and while rain and big puddles were the case for most – a few towns ended up with a much bigger story.
A tornado appears to have touched down, causing damage in Douglas, Upton, Uxbridge and Northbridge, Massachusetts.
While not all of those towns' damage may have come directly from a tornado touchdown (related strong winds may have caused some of it), our Early Warning Weather Meteorologist Michael Page was on the ground with our Weather Warrior truck since predawn.
He reports that a tornado seems quite likely to have been the culprit in Upton. Amazingly, no other damage reports were received anywhere else in New England.
New scattered downpours and thunderstorms will erupt Thursday afternoon and early evening, with all producing torrential rain and some creating lightning and locally strong wind gusts.
The action wanes after dinner with areas of overnight fog, then Friday starts humid but brings a slow decrease in humidity. Still, scattered mountain and hill thunder will develop, and an isolated storm is possible late or at night for the rest of us.
Saturday will also see scattered showers and thunder during the afternoon before much more comfortable air sweeps in with dry conditions Sunday and Monday…before we reload humid and unsettled conditions next week.`

China and Japan are two of the most financially influential countries in Mongolia's proximity. Both have a long history of trade and investment in the latter. Mongolia calls Japan its "Third Neighbor," which is a term first used in 1990 by then-U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker who referred to the United States as Mongolia's "Third Neighbor." Mongolia then adopted the "Third Neighbor" policy aim at broadening its foreign relations outside of China and Russia to other countries like Japan, the United States and European countries. Japan has traded with Mongolia since the 13th century through the Steppe Road and is currently Mongolia's third largest source of imports. Since Mongolia became a democratic country in 1990, Japan has consistently provided aid and assistance for its transition to a market economy.
China is one of Mongolia's closest partners and has traditionally been its biggest trader and investor. By July 2017, China directly invested $4.1 billion in the country which accounted for 30 percent of Mongolia's foreign investment. However, as China asserts more economic influence in Mongolia via the Belt and Road Initiative, the Tokyo-Beijing relationship has become increasingly complicated. With China's rise, Japan has felt the urgency to balance and compete with China in the region. Is the development competition between China and Japan beneficial or detrimental to Mongolia? And how can Mongolia maintain and expand its interests within this complicated relationship?

A quick "look" at some new glasses. Transitions Reveiw
We recently told you about some photochromic bifocals on Kickstarter, well we got pre-production pair to test. See what our not so eagle eyed reviewer thinks.
After receiving the glasses a call went out for someone with the right script to test these soon to be available glasses for a spin.
Forum member "Ex-hasbeen" answered that call and here is his review.
Roxii sent me a set of the Photochromic glasses last week for me to try out. Being an old bastard, I've been wearing reading glasses for the past 6 years, and have found over the past 3 that it's getting difficult to see the speedo on the bike. I've tried regular bi-focals, but they really aren't suitable for riding.
I've been for 2 rides in these now. The first was a short 30min ride during the day. The glasses felt great to ride in, and although not real dark, did provide good protection.
The 2nd ride was a bit longer, and went from just before dawn to an hour after. This is where these glasses come into their own. Not only are they a great clear lens, but with the small reading pane at the bottom inner corners, I could read the computer screen in the low light before sunrise when I normally have no chance. Then as the sun came up, they provided glare protection.
Overall, I was very happy with the glasses. They are light, comfortable, the lenses are very easy to see through, and they do what the maker says they will.
On the bike, the reading insert is in just the right spot to see the screen when in a normal position. On a cold morning, they keep the wind out of your eyes, but don't fog up like some other glasses do. The only time they fog is when you stop, but then defog almost instantly when you get going again.
The only minus I could find for them is they can't double as driving glasses, as the insert is not in the right place to see the dash instrumentation, but then again, that's not what they are designed for.
From me, it's a big thumbs up.

Listen to this article
Any individual in the workplace has come across " the workaround culture" problems you encounter during the course of your working day, which you manage to navigate, successfully to do your job. However you do not tackle the existing problem and are forced to work around it again the next time you encounter it.
Anita Tucker, associate professor of business administration in technology and operations management at Harvard Business School, has identified types of workaround cultures in a study of nurses at leading hospitals in the US. While these workarounds - such as borrowing medical equipment from another unit - work in the short term, in the longer term they can lead to medical errors, wasted resources - the time taken to locate and return the equipment and contribute to employee burnout, says Prof Tucker.
It can also she adds, create an established workaround culture in the organisation, which can in turn prompt people to dismiss the idea of trying to improve the situation and lead them instead to learn to live with the problem.
Prof Tucker's research identifies an organisation's policies and managerial behaviour as at the root of the issue. If a nurse believes that by alerting his or her manager to the problem it will be resolved then there is a greater chance that the problem will be reported. However, if the nurse feels under-valued and works in an organisation where managers have no interest in hearing of, or trying to resolve problems, the nurse is unlikely to report the problem and will instead continue to work around the issue.
The workaround culture: the unintended consequences of organisation heroes, was published on Nov 5.
IT- information technology - is becoming increasingly critical for successful global operations, with innovation being the watchword. But according to new research by academics, published in the MIT Sloan Management Review, chief information officers can no longer rely on tried and test managerial tools to deliver innovative results.
The key to success say the writers is to have networks of informal collaboration which can often produce solutions "through informal and unplanned interactions". This is due say the writers to the fact that individuals will look at the same problem with different perspectives.
Moreover, such collaborations often do not slot easily into an organisation's established processes and structures and so may be less visible to senior managers.
By analysing these networks and discovering how individual employees and teams connect, as well as designing information networks to make the most of the flow of good ideas, managers can create global IT organisations "that are more efficient and innovative than organisations that rely primarily on formal mechanisms," say the writers.
The paper "The collaborative organisation, how to make employee networks really work" was written by Rob Cross, associate professor of management at the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce, Peter Gray, an associate professor of commerce at the McIntire School, Shirley Cunningham, chief information officer at Monsanto, Mark Showers, chief information officer at Reinsurance Group of America and Robert Thomas, executive director at Accenture's Institute for High Performance.

The Good Job Site
How a House of Good Intention Makes All the Difference
Building a house is dirty work, but having the right team with the right goals and attitudes can make the process a whole lot more pleasant and rewarding. I'll use the example of our experience during the construction of a LEED certified home in Darien, CT, to give you an idea of what I mean.
Usually I tell clients that starting a project in the winter is no big deal. As long as we can get concrete in the ground, building in the winter generally doesn't cause problems—it's often just a matter of adjusting the schedule around any inclement weather. But this year was a completely different story. While this house was under construction, we had 85 inches of snow, and it was absolutely freezing for the first 6 weeks of the year. When the guys could make it to the job site, they were out shoveling foundations, roofs, driveways, and lumber stacks for hours on end. We had 2 to 3 feet of snow on the ground for most of the winter. Once the weather warmed up a bit, everything turned to mud. And then it wouldn't stop raining or sleeting or snowing and then raining again.
There's also the general sense of chaos that occurs on most big projects. On one of my visits to the job site, things seemed especially hectic. Temporary subfloor had been pulled up to install ducts. Holes were being cut in framing everywhere for plumbing and HVAC lines. It was all dark and mud and sawdust and way too many guys working and way too many holes in the floor to fall through. And of course I was wearing high heels.
Yet every person on this site was totally cheerful, nice, fun, and happy. It was the highlight of my day to go to the site.
There is just something better about building a green home. Everyone on board cares and likes what they do. We all believe in what we are doing. Everyone is sort of cut from the same cloth—the contractor, tradespeople, architects, and clients. Everyone is doing a really, really good job. This is a great job. This is the way a job should be.
People who have horrible building experiences have no idea what it is like to build a house of good intention. This is a completely different world. This is one of the bonuses of designing green homes: whenever we go to job sites we have a great day.

Weekly Table Setting: Through The Rain
This had been one rainy week here in Cambridge! While it's good for all of our plants, it certainly does take a toll on moods. I'm happy to report though that the sun is just now starting to peek out, clouds are parting, and the last of the raindrops seem to have fallen. What a good feeling - we made it through the rain! For the past few weeks, we've chosen bright, poppy colors to grace our table settings, but this week we're taking it back to warm summer neutrals -- the kinds of colors you see all around you, accentuated by all this rain in our natural, lush landscape. In place of stark white dinnerware, we have softer colors, set against a pleasing grey background with subtle accents. Contrast is key here, with touches of black and stainless steel adding a contemporary flair.
In place of traditional placemats, we used two Chilewich Boucle Tablerunners in Salt down each side of the table, to act as one long placemat shared by each of the place settings. To stand out against the soft grey background, we used stark white Libeco Home Vence Linen Napkins in Oyster.
Each place setting featured three pieces from the Heath Ceramics Coupe Collection, including a Dinner Plate in Mist, a Bread Plate in Linen, and a Cereal Bowl in Peridot/Linen. The soft, warm colors are reminiscent of summer, and really worked well together to create a harmonious setting.
The Alessi 40 Flatware also paired beautifully with the dinnerware, with it's soft round edges and shiny stainless steel. The contrast was lovely!
We chose to go lean on glassware and simply featured these Alessi Mami Red Wine Glasses. With delicate stems and full, round tops, they are wonderfully balanced glasses, and looked fitting with this setting.
In the center of the table we set Alessi serving pieces, including this white Alessi Ovale Stoneware Serving Container, and a stainless steel Alessi Ovale Salad Bowl. Also pictured above and below, but slightly hidden, is the Alessi Programma 8 Condiment Set. Perfect for indoor or outdoor use with condiments of your choosing.

The 2012 Olympic gold and 2008 Olympic bronze high jump medallist was reported to be among 14 Russians to have tested positive after Beijing samples were reanalysed
Russia's Anna Chicherova has been provisionally suspended, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has confirmed.
The provisional suspension comes after reports in May that the 2012 Olympic gold and 2008 Olympic bronze high jump medallist was among 14 Russian athletes to have tested positive after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) retested 454 selected doping samples from the Beijing Games. When announcing the reanalysis, the IOC stated that as a result, up to 31 athletes from six sports could be banned from competing at the Olympic Games in Rio.
Chicherova was later quoted by the BBC as saying: "It's the most complete shock. I can't explain how it could have happened. I was always sure what supplements and medicines I was using."
While highlighting that it is an IOC case, the IAAF confirmed to AW that Chicherova has been provisionally suspended and on Friday (July 1) the Russian high jumper was quoted by Russian news agency TASS as saying: "A letter has just come: the IAAF has suspended me starting today from all competitions for the time of the probe into the matter."
The TASS report continued to state in part: "The doping sample B-1 from the Beijing Olympics was opened on June 8. The results of opening sample B-2 are not yet known."
As well as her 2012 Olympic gold and 2008 Olympic bronze, Chicherova won the 2011 world title and has also claimed a further four outdoor world medals.
The 33-year-old competed at the Russian Championships on June 23, winning the high jump competition with a clearance of 1.98m.
The IAAF upheld the suspension of the Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) as an IAAF Member at an IAAF Council meeting in Vienna on June 17.
The suspension means that athletes remain banned from competing for Russia in international events, although a rule amendment left an opportunity for Russians to apply to compete at the Rio Olympic Games and other international competitions as "neutral" athletes.
On Friday, the IAAF announced that whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova is now eligible to compete internationally as an independent neutral athlete.

Wake Forest University
Jennifer Burg holds Master's degrees in French and English from the University of Florida and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Central Florida. She has been a member of the Wake Forest Department of Computer Science since 1993, serving as Chair from 2000-2004. Burg has been working on digital media curriculum development under two NSF grants for the past three years. She has also collaborated with alban elved dance company on two productions that combined mathematics and computer science, digital images, sound, and contemporary dance.
Digital media courses are not standard in the computer science curriculum. The perception is that digital media courses are inherently application-driven, taken up with teaching students how to use tools like Photoshop, Freehand, Pro Tools, Premiere, and Flash. This need not be the case. The science, mathematics, and algorithms underlying digital media are perfectly suitable topics for the computer science curriculum. Teaching these topics via a digital media course is a good way to capture student interest, since it so clearly relates science to practice.
The tutorial will be based on curriculum material created by the presenter. The material includes eight text-based chapters on digital imaging, digital audio, digital video, and multimedia programming. The chapters are supplemented with interactive demos, worksheets, programming assignments, and MATLAB exercises. The interactive demos are written in Macromedia Director and posted as Shockwave files on the web. Fundamental concepts include sampling, quantization, the Nyquist theorem, aliasing, dynamic range, color models, transforms, filters, compression algorithms, digital data communication. The curriculum material is freely available on the web at http://digitalmedia.wfu.edu. (See the section of the material marked "CS Module".)
In the tutorial, the presenter will
present an argument for integrating digital media into computer science as a way of interesting students in science and mathematics give an overview of the curriculum material and discuss the types of courses for which it is appropriate give a tutorial on representative topics in digital media and show how these topics can be taught to students via worksheets, exercises, programming assignments, and projects lay out a plan for integrating digital media into the computer science curriculum.

In this tutorial we present a relatively new wireless technology, commonly called wireless mesh networking (WMN). These networks have the potential to deliver Internet broadband access, connectivity and wireless coverage for both stationary and mobile hosts at low costs both for the service providers and customers. The core technology involves a network of wireless routers relaying each others' packets in a multihop fashion. We will present an introduction to the core technology, applications, design options, a survey of the state of the art and major research problems that have to be solved for the technology to be successful.

Dept. of Computer and Software Eng.
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University
Dr. Andrew J. Kornecki (http://faculty.erau.edu/korn) is full professor at the Department of Computing, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL. He has over twenty years of research/teaching experience in computer simulation, real-time software, and aviation applications. He teaches graduate software engineering courses on real-time design, performance analysis, and software safety. He contributed to research on intelligent simulation training systems, software engineering education, safety critical aviation systems, served as a visiting researcher with the Federal Aviation Administration, and delivered industrial training on real-time safety critical software in medical and aviation industries. With NSF funding, he established a Real Time Laboratory at ERAU. He has been Dr. Kornecki received M.Sc. (1970) in control and computer engineering and Ph.D. (1974) in systems engineering from the Academy of Mining and Metallurgy, Krakow, Poland. He is a member of IEEE.
This introductory half-day tutorial is designed to give the participants an additional perspective on the software component of a safety critical system in a regulated industry (aerospace, medical, nuclear, transportation, military). The objective of the presentation is to increase the awareness of concepts, principles, methods and techniques related to software safety as a part of the overall system safety. Safety critical systems and high integrity systems require additional activities to increase the level of safety assurance. The development of software intensive systems requires skills and knowledge often exceeding the material covered by colleges and universities in majority of computer science and engineering programs.
Safety affects all stages of the system lifecycle: requirements elicitation, selecting design options, applying implementation techniques, and providing guidance for the system operation. The tutorial will emphasize the lessons learned about the implication of the system safety on software development lifecycle; methods and tools used for assessment of dependability; role of formalisms in safety; approaches to improve fault tolerance. The participants will also learn how issues of safety may influence the development process and the product acceptance.
The tutorial will address the practical aspects of safety. The presented subjects include: (a) concepts and techniques, (b) practice of development, and (c) the implementation approaches. The tutorial is designed to provide basis for understanding the need for inclusion of safety practices into software development lifecycle and also into the computing curricula. The tutorial materials will be also available on-line via Internet.

Lush Don't Look At Me & Cosmetic Warrior Review
Hey guys! it's been a while hasn't it? i apologise for the lack of posts as of late. To be completely honest with you i kind of lost the passion i first had for blogging. It started to feel less like fun and more like a chore. I'm sure many of you with blogs know exactly what i mean. When that happens the best thing to do is to take a little break and that should reignite the love again- i'm back and excited to be blogging again :D
I don't know about you but i can't just walk past a lush store without popping in. It's probably due to the fact that you can smell the store before you see it lol ugh it's so enticing! I picked up these two face masks a few weeks ago and i'm so happy i did. I'd never heard anything about the DLAM face mask prior to purchasing it. The first thing i noticed was the colour and then the mention of murumuru butter and that was enough for me. I was sold! you may be interested to know that this mask is actually vegan, so for those of you that are looking for vegan cosmetics, this is one to add to your list.
DLAM is mainly composed of Murumuru butter, (moisturising) lemon juice (brightening & toning), kaolin clay and ground rice (exfoliating). Lemon juice can irritate some skin types so if you have extremely sensitive skin you may want to give this a miss (i, myself have sensitive skin but this didn't seem to bother me *shrugs*) Also the ground rice is quite rough on the skin so you really do want to be as gentle as possible when removing this. I know you're probably wondering what it smells like, right? to me, it's a pleasant citrusy smell which i can't get enough of! this is great for combination/ dry skin
Directions : Slather a generous amount all over your face/body and rinse off thoroughly after 15 minutes
This mask has left my skin looking visibly brighter, smoother and feeling very moisturised. Every time i use DLAM i spend about 10 minutes just staring at my skin in awe lol. I assure you it's totally worth spending 15 minutes looking like a smurf ;) I suggest using DLAM 2x a week
Ingredients: Glycerine, Kaolin, Water, (Aqua), Fresh Organic Lemon Juice (citrus limonum), Organic Silken Tofu, Rice Syrup (Oryza Sativa Syrup), Grounded White Rice (Oryza Sativa Starch), Rice Milk (Oryza Sativa), Murmur Butter (Astrocaryum Murumuru), Bentone (Hectorite), Colour 42090, Perfume, Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi), Neroili Oil (Citrus Aurantium amara), *Limonene, *Geraniol, *Linalool, *Farnesol.
Price: £6.75 for 75g
Rating: 5/5
Next up we have... *drum roll* ...Cosmetic warrior! now this is one of the most raved about masks and my curious self wanted to know if it really lived up to the hype. Cosmetic Warrior is mainly composed of honey (moisturising) egg whites (tightens pores), tea tree oil (anti-bacterial) and garlic (anti -inflammatory). And yes, that's exactly what it smells like lol but the smell is faint. It's great for those that suffer with acne-prone/ combination/ sensitive skin.
Directions : Slather a generous amount all over your face (do not let the mask dry completely) then rinse off after 10 minutes, followed up with your favourite toner and moisturiser.
A few days ago i had a pimple and decided to put CW to the test. I noticed that the redness and swelling had gone down and that was after the first use! The pimple just kept reducing in size with each use, i was surprised to be honest as i didn't expect to see a difference so soon. It's evened out my skin tone and minimized my pores- what's not to love?! I suggest using CW 3x a week.
Ingredients: Kaolin, Fresh Green Grapes (vitis vinifera), Fresh organic free range eggs, Honey, Cornstarch (zea mays), Glycerine, Fresh Garlic (Allium sativum), Tea Tree oil, (Melaleuca alternifolia), *Limonene, Perfume.
Price: £6.75 for 75g
Rating: 5/5
TIP: Pop your face mask in the freezer for a longer shelf life
In my opinion, both of these masks are great value for money as i've used them at least 5 times and applied a generous amount each time yet i still have plenty left over.
Have you tried these masks? if so, what are your thoughts on them?

Guest blog post
by Carrie Tumey, Regional Sales Manager
Tax compliance. It is one of those tasks that can drive your accounting department or bookkeeper crazy. It's also an unavoidable, statutory requirement. Undoubtedly you have developed a process that works, but do you know how that process will hold up in an audit? With an average audit penalty of $34,000 and the average total cost for a business to manage a sales tax audit of $96,552, most companies cannot afford to make a mistake, even if it's a little one. The consequences of making mistakes are dire.
In a time where states are short on revenue and looking at uncollected sales and use tax and exemption certificate mismanagement to help make up that gap, tax compliance practices are increasingly under the microscope. Now is a great time to examine your how you're managing compliance and determine just how much risk you carry. Here are a few things to consider:
Are you manually managing sales & use tax in Sage 300 ERP?
Perhaps you look up tax rates by ZIP code or download rate tables to update in Sage 300. This can be time consuming and error prone. Rate tables have to be continuously updated with rates that are constantly changing and State websites aren't always reliable. ZIP codes were created for the postal service and do not always line up with taxing jurisdictions. Relying on ZIP codes to determine tax rates can mean over or undercharging your clients.
Does the taxability of your products vary by jurisdiction?
Products that are taxable in one state may not be in another. In some states, for example, candy that contains flour is not considered "candy" for sales tax rate purposes and is taxed at a lower rate than at a combined state and local sales tax rate.
Are you doing business in multiple states?
Instead of thinking of sales and use tax obligations in terms of where your business is located, think about where you do business and the activities you engage in within those states. Why? Rules vary from state to state when it comes to what creates sales tax nexus. For example, certain trade show activities can trigger sales tax liability in Illinois, Texas, Nevada, Florida and California.
How are you managing exemption certificates?
Most businesses have a combination of fixed assets and inventoried items, which means you're likely not just dealing with sales and use tax, you have exemption certificates that need to be managed. Improper exemption certificates management is one of the top sources of negative audit findings. If you don't have a clear process set up to protect yourself and prove you're exempt from tax, you could be setting yourself up for trouble.
Reduce your risk:
Tax compliance is tricky, especially when manually keeping up with rate, rule and boundary changes in multiple jurisdictions. Reduce your risk of a negative audit by taking time to examine your compliance process and develop a consistent, defined work flow. Then, look for ways to increase tax calculation accuracy. Automating the tax calculation and decision process can save time, money and effort. Sage Sales Tax works right inside Sage 300 ERP and automates the transactional tax process, helping you achieve compliance and accuracy across the board.
