But hardly Scorpios pay attention to it, especially if they face the prospect loomed close to success. Basically, you, if you want, it will be able to set goals and achieve, and harmonious relationships with others to save, but to do so you have to take care not only about your self-interests, but the interests of the people close to you! Generally, January would not the easiest month for interpersonal relationships Scorpios, as in this Isa can accumulate too many unsolved problems.

Here Are the Perfect Thee Oh Sees Albums for Every Occasion
Thee Oh Sees frontman John Dwyer's garage-freakout art-noise bonafides are ironclad (see also: The Coachwhips; Pink and Brown), and it usually takes only one album-length dose of his most enduring and best band to start craving more.
And more there is. The San Francisco-based act has released nearly 20 full-lengths in the past dozen years. Picking out the best stuff from such a massive discography relies on a simple-enough hierarchy: here's the weird demo stuff, here's the one the blogs went nuts over, here's the experiment that shook off the bandwagon fans, and so on.
Thee Oh Sees are coming to the Amsterdam this Friday -- just in time to knock you out of your post-Thanksgiving turkey coma. Once you've done your civic duty of picking up their most recent record, the slickly produced yet still vertigo-inducing Drop, you might want a next step. So here are the best records for specific life situations, preferably ones where you have no idea how they'll end.[jump] I Want to Stump for "Their Old Stuff" Without Looking Like a Schmuck:
OCS (Tumult, 2003)
It doesn't get any more "old stuff" than the home-taped instrumentals Dwyer recorded over a six-year span from 1995 to 2001. A 53-song, two-CD collection of untitled songs under two subtitles (34 Reasons Why Life Goes On Without You and 18 Reasons to Love Your Hater to Death), OCS (a.k.a. 1) is ridiculously unwieldy and practically demands cherrypicking. But sitting through the sketched-out, kind of sloppy (in an endearing way) ultra-lo-fi moments is worth it when you're able to catch a moment of off-kilter folk-blues acoustic guitar prettiness or a mind-bending squall of abstract noise -- sometimes, in the first disc's seventh track, frantically decaying from one to the other.
OK But Seriously, What's Their Big Breakthrough Point of Entry:
Help (In the Red, 2009)
While 2006's The Cool Death of Island Raiders saw a quick emergence of Thee Oh Sees as a potential Big Deal -- they even got one of those enviable "produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek" credits -- Help was where they really caught fire beyond the noise faithful. Their first release for deathless garage-punk purveyors In the Red is a gem, where melodic, riff-happy scuzz-rock is given a massive overdrive; think a '67 mixup where Syd Barrett wound up stumbling into the Standells. Not just in sound, but in verse: "Peanut Butter Oven" -- "One thing to be/ would be the dust on TV/ one thing to be/ stones wet with sympathy" -- is enigmatic psych poetry at its best. You could call it "cheerfully aggressive," but that makes it sound more dopey and sociopathic than the oddball, amped-up fun it really is. I Want to Smash Something (I Promise it Will Not Be an Act of Illegal Vandalism):
The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending A Night In (Tomlab, 2008)
Even with the undercurrents of confrontational weirdness that run through their noisiest work, the energy of Thee Oh Sees is largely a positive one; with more straightforward lyrics and less fuzzed-out, blown-out, echo-drenched delirium it could almost be slotted somewhere in the general neighborhood of power pop. But as it exists, their music exists at a level beyond the actual power that can be calculated in the boundaries of that genre -- it's real sledgehammer-to-drywall stuff, clobber-beat music for steel-toed feet. That's what happens when everything feels like a rhythm section, from Mike Shoun playing drums knuckles-first to Petey Dammit's bass lurking in the shadows to the motorized snarl of Dwyer's guitar. This is where their fusion of catchiness and punchiness really first came into its own, and the giddy energy to cuts like "Poison Finger" and "Adult Acid" is music to scrap cars by.
I Have a Bag of Something That Will Require an Appropriate Soundtrack:
Warm Slime (In the Red, 2010)
If psychedelia and garage-punk are two opposite ends of a long continuum -- and Thee Oh Sees exist in a world where that's not necessarily the case -- it easy enough to figure that they lean towards that latter end. That's mostly because they're not regularly prone to extended jams, even though the opening 13 1/2-minute title cut of Warm Slime justifies their biggest foray into that turf. If all it really requires in this example is a shit-ton of reverb on everything -- including Dwyer's increasingly antsy guitar, the harmonies with Brigid Dawson on insistent "All you need is a summertime" refrain, and Shoun's loping gallop of a drumbeat -- then it's a wonder they don't do it more often. Not a huge wonder, though; the more concentrated doses of three-ish-minute pokes to the third eye ("Everything Went Black"; "Flash Bats") are just as wild.
I Want to Smash Something (Like Maybe Your Face):
Floating Coffin (Castle Face, 2013)
Here's where things get vicious. Sure, the lyrics aren't that much more specific than the usual semi-abstract shards of phrases that make up your typical Oh Sees song. But picking up phrases here and there -- "Everyone's a problem sometimes;" "Splash blood upon the ground;" "I've been cleaning enough bodies;" enough conjugations of the verb "slay" to unnerve Noddy Holder -- makes it their prime horror album, the feral weirdness of the fanged-strawberry kaleidoscope album art a prime indicator of the record's grotesque color. Expect manic falsettos, gooey synthesizers, sludge metal, creaking violas, and enough sinister atmosphere to make that unnerving sensation really pop out. It's 4 a.m. and I'm Driving the Only Car on Hiawatha Avenue:
Sucks Blood (Castle Face, 2007)
Given Thee Oh Sees' origins as a one-man side project leaning heavily on acoustic guitars, it's kind of strange that the bulk of music put out under their banner doesn't really call back to it much. That does attest to the wide-ranging mutation Dwyer's capable of when he's got like-minded collaborators and a full studio at his disposal, but an album that carries a quiet (well, quieter) reflection throughout is a comparative rarity in the Oh Sees catalog. Sucks Blood carries a lot of its strengths in moments like that, even if the sense of spare, downbeat solitude in "Iceberg," "Ship," "The Gouger," and the droning Theremin-laced (or is that a musical saw?) title track leans more towards the unsettling side of quietude than the relaxing side.
I Am With That Special Someone:
Castlemania (In the Red, 2011)
OK, have fun on your weird date. Really, though, even if there's nothing overtly romantic about the themes of Castlemania (the first five tracks invoke death; the fifth is called "Pleasure Blimp"), it's damn near their cheeriest-sounding record, with goofy burbling Mellotron, gobs of yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah/la-la-la-la/ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba vocals, and Dwyer's (mostly) one-man band ramshackleness keeping things high-spirited to the point that it borders bubblegum. Even at its most abrasive, it's oddly sweet music for oddballs in love -- picture the happy little montage you could have to "I Won't Hurt You."
I Want to Get an Idea of How They Sound Live But I'm Deathly Afraid of Saint Paul:
Live at Death By Audio 2012 (Famous Class, 2013)
I get it, not everybody can handle the prospect of seeing this band in person and eating a big basket of frites with peanut satay sauce in the same night. That is some intimidating weight to bear, decadence-wise. So this 2012 set from the recently dearly-departed Brooklyn venue Death by Audio is a good home-listening approximation, where their studio material is given, more velocity, more room to stretch out, and more equalizing energy to gather up all their myriad tendencies into one frantic, manic, high-octane free-for-all. If this release motivates you to shake your ambivalence about the capitol city, it can also serve as a preview for what you might get: expect at least a couple of their shorter songs roiled up into krautrock-gone-nova rave-ups, like they did here for "Block of Ice" and "Dead Energy."

Evoking sounds of serene waves rhythmically ebbing on the shore and relaxing evenings watching the sunsets over the ocean, beach house interiors transport us to the blissful world of holidays and a carefree existence. Hike the level of luxury up a notch to some of the most exclusive beachfront real estate in the world, and we instantly think of deluxe Malibu beach homes.
Here our designers recommend 10 Malibu beach house decor tips to help you get that breezy, luxury look.
1. Celebrate Nature
Perhaps you have an envious position right upon the seafront or you've got spectacular ocean views from further in land; either way beach house interiors demand that outdoor living is integral to the design. Terraces should be dressed with luxurious wicker furniture for a classic look, floor to ceiling glass doors should offer sea views and beautiful outdoor lighting should transform the day into a romantic oasis at night.
Our Malibu beach style design for Excellare celebrates the property's extensive terraces and it's magnificent position overlooking the crisp blue coast.
2. Open, Airy Spaces
An essential factor in Malibu beach house decor is planning the furnishings carefully to create a refreshing feeling of expansive space. Open plan rooms should be augmented with an ergonomic approach, glass doors should be left open to allow revitalising breezes to blow through the home and the design should be uncluttered and luxuriously minimalist.
3. Organic Furnishings
Bring elements of the beautiful outdoors into your beach house with handmade ocean driftwood sculptures, wooden artisan coffee tables and wicker chairs. Enhance that feeling of nature throughout your interiors and give it an organic, nourishing feel.
4. Botanics
Inject vibrancy into your beach home interiors with indoor plants. The verdant greenery of botanics in your scheme will add a pop of nourishing colour and reinforce the theme of nature throughout.
5. Maritime Themes
Enhance the feeling of your seafront or sea view position by introducing nautical themes into your beach home interiors. From classic blue and white stripe fabrics to enchanting boat ornaments to wall-hanging anchor accessories, bring a touch of marine charm to the space.
This maritime pendant light adds a metallic edge to our Malibu beach house master bedroom design, the gold hues complementing the soft textures and tones in the surrounding furnishings.
6. Light and Refreshing
Summer holidays conjure thoughts of sun-filled days and beautiful blue skies – we want to continue this refreshing lightness through into our interiors to get the Malibu beach house look. Decorate with light, crisp furnishings and let 'white' set your design colour palette. Add depth and a sense of homeliness with the organic furnishings and let the white create a feeling of space.
7. Tropical Retreat
Malibu beach house decor would not be complete without a touch of the exotic. Accent your beach home with dramatic palm trees and tropical plants and let them sway in the ocean breeze.
8. Holiday Spirit
Add a hint of holiday magic to your beach house interiors with carefully considered accessories and decor; seashells, corals and starfish.
A row of summer hats add light-hearted, care-free personality to our Malibu beach house interior, the natural organic theme echoed in the beautiful wooden mirror.
9. Blue
Turquoise waters and clear-blue skies entice us to punctuate our beach home interiors with beautiful blues. Deep blue cushion fabrics, vivid artwork and exquisite chinaware are all simple ways to get the breezy, beach look.
Injecting our bedroom design with evocative personality, the rich blue tones of the circular mirror and refined desk pop vividly against the warm brass frame and handles, whilst the chair and roses bring soft femininity.
10. Comforting Textures
A holiday beach house is a place to relax back and feel completely comfortable. Malibu beach home decor requires a certain level of luxury and there is no better way to introduce this into your interiors than with lavish textures and fabrics. Think exquisite faux fur throws or indulgent heavy knit blankets, 1000+ thread count Egyptian cotton bed sheets and beautifully soft fabric cushions. You can also layer depth and texture into the interiors with luxurious wallpaper.
Powerful and dynamic, this kilim-like wallpaper by Thibaut with modern paisley shapes has a warm, simulated antiquing effect, bringing ever more depth and texture to our vibrant Malibu-style study design.
If we can assist you with your Malibu beach house decor, please feel free to get in touch.

Poor Clara. We went to a birthday party at the children's museum and Clara was having so much fun playing that she forgot to tell me in time that she had to go pee. By the time she ran to tell me, all of a sudden it came pouring out all over her pants. She was so upset. I brought her in to the bathroom and took off her pants and forced her to put on Reid's jacket upside down. She was so embarrassed to be wearing such a thing that she screamed and made me hold her in a corner where no one could see her. I got her to get down for a second and that is when I hurried a snapped this photo. Immediately after this photo she ran back to me crying. I felt so bad for her. I thought to go buy her some pants in the mall, but I worried that by the time I got her back the party would be over. She kept saying I should have brought extra pants. And I really should have. Reid had a lot of fun though and so did Clara until the accident:(

GALLIPOLIS — Jamie Steger was crowned Miss Gallia County 2018 during the annual Miss Gallia Pageant Monday night among nine ladies vying for the title.
Alexis Wothe was named first runner-up, Josie Jones second, Katie Carpenter third and Lexi Taylor fourth. Isabella Moore was named Miss Congeniality.
Steger resides in Gallipolis and is the daughter of Jeff and Tracy Steger. She is a senior at Gallia Academy High School. During school, she has been involved in Gallia Academy Varsity Cheer Squad, Varsity Track and Field, Leo Club, Key Club, Gallipolis FFA Livestock, Equine, and Soil judging.
In her community, she has taken part in Adopt a Highway with the Gallipois FFA, picking trash from the side of State Route 141. She has also has volunteered at the Gallipolis River Recreational Festival, the Gallipolis Hoop Project, serving dinners at the Veterans of Foreign Wars and has helped maintain the landscaping of the VFW Farm. She has placed brand new flags at the grave sites of veterans, has volunteered at Holzer Senior Care and Arbors Senior Care.
She plans to attend Ohio University and will study nursing.
"Cheerleading has been a very big part of my life, starting in grade school with midget league cheerleading," said Steger to emcee Tina Diddle," moving onto junior high and high school cheerleading as well as competitive cheerleading. I recently tried out and made the UCA All-American Cheerleading Team, where I now have the opportunity to travel to London, England, and perform in their New Year's Day Parade. But through all of my amazing experiences with cheerleading, I have gained attributes that have helped me excel in other aspects of my life such as goal setting and keeping track of my score. Cheerleading is definitely not all about the glitz and the glam. It's about love, passion and definitely dedication. I hope as a result I grow these skills as I become an adult, utilizing my dedication to contribute to others."
Diddle asked Steger to open an envelope with a pageant question designated for her, as all the contestants did. The emcee asked Steger what could Gallia County do to encourage young adults to stay and work in the area.
"I think that to encourage young adults to stay in this area is to definitely make it easier and more available to get scholarships for college for them to stay home so they would have job opportunities to stay here," said Steger.
Once named, Steger was crowned by 2017's Miss Gallia Kaylee Lambert.

The folks who told us 67% of Americans are unhappy with the quality of journalism these days may not have come up with any concrete suggestions for how to make them happy again, but Jeff Jarvis has one: invite your readers to collaborate with you.
Here are a few of his suggestions:
* Put large amounts of data or documents online and ask the public to help find the stories there. The Dallas Morning News did this with the just-released JFK documents. The Ft. Myers News Press did it with a FOIA on a botched hurricane-relief effort. The Sunlight Foundation has us exposing earmarks in spending bills.
* Ask the public to help gather data points around a story. The quickly classical example of this was Brian Lehrer's WNYC show asking listeners to find out the prices of milk, lettuce, and beer to find out who is being gouged where (which then enables the journalists to ask why — put their price maps against maps of income and race in New York and stories emerge). This should work particularly well on a local level: Ask people to tell you the price they pay for drugs and doctors and map that. Ask them to tell you just how late or dirty their trains are. And on and on. If you get enough data, you can pay attention to the center of the bell curve; the outliers are either mistakes are damned good stories.
* Get the public to help file no end of FOIAs to birddog government. Create a FOIA repository where you can help train them how to do it and record the responses (that bit's a great idea from Tom Loosemore in the UK) and collect what's learned.There are more suggestions along similar lines. Plus this last one: To get started, I'd hire a collaboration editor charged with getting such projects going all around the newsroom.
I like that. Anyone looking for a collaboration editor?

greek superleague - matchday 1
|2 - 1
|Asteras Tripolis
|Fortounis 54'
Marin 90'+3'
|Mazza (p) 26'
Marin scored the winner in the third minute of second half stoppage time to give Olympiacos a 2-1 comeback victory over Asteras Tripolis at the Karaiskakis Stadium. The visitors opened the scoring with Mazza's penalty in the 26th minute and a TREMENDOUS goal from Fortounis brought Olympiacos level on 54 minutes. The win keeps Olympiacos in control of first place in the standings.
Olympiacos began their pressure early on creating multiple opportunities in Asteras' half in the opening 15 minutes of play. However, it was Asteras Tripolis who took the surprising lead in the 26th minute, when Leali was called for a foul on Mazza in the penalty area, resulting in a spot kick for the visitors. From 11-meters, Mazza made no mistake to give Asteras the 0-1 lead, which stood until halftime. If the Arkades had more composure in front of goal, they could have taken a larger lead into the break.
In the opening minutes of the second half, both Cardozo and Viana failed to convert with close ranged headers before Fortounis' ROCKET from well outside the penalty area brought Olympiacos level on the night. Marko Marin, who has been left out of the roster for many games this season, was subbed on later in the half as Olympiacos pressed on for the winner. In the final ten minutes, Olympiacos pinned Asteras in their penalty area with Donnarumma coming up with big saves to keep the score at 1-1.
However, in the third minute of stoppage time, Olympiacos found the breakthrough when Marin brilliantly found de la Bella unmarked in the penalty area and the Spaniard's shot was well-saved by Donnarumma; the ball then fell to Marin whose rebounded effort found the back of the net, completing the late comeback victory for the Erythrolefki.
Marin's late goal keeps Olympiacos well on track for this year's Superleague title. Olympiacos is now 9-points clear of second placed Xanthi and 12-points ahead of third placed Panathinaikos, who play tomorrow against Platanias. Asteras Tripolis are only four points clear of the drop zone, level with Levadiakos on 12 points.
This weekend Olympiacos will travel to second placed Xanthi (unbeaten in 11 games) in an anticipated match while Asteras host AEK in Tripoli.

screening & evaluation
Any behavior which seems inappropriate may indicate a need for professional evaluation. Pediatric occupational therapists are skilled in identifying clusters of symptoms that may indicate sensory processing disorders or other types of developmental disorders that may require further evaluation. Please contact us to schedule a free screening of your child.
Symptoms to look for when evaluating your child's behavior:
Slow to reach developmental milestones such as sitting, crawling, walking, etc.
Unusually over or under active
Excessive seeking or avoiding of sensory stimulation
Over-sensitive to clothing textures, being touched, or messy hands
Trouble with hand and finger coordination
Intense dislike of or gagging on food with certain textures
Messy eater, spills food from mouth or stuffs food
Poor social skills
Difficulty transitioning from one activity to another
Uses too much or too little force when playing or using objects
Difficulty with puzzles and shape sorting
Inability to follow simple directions
Lack of awareness of danger or safety issues
Difficult sucking, swallowing, or chewing
Chewing on non-food items; not related to teething
Seems under-sensitive to pain
Poor posture, constantly propping self up
Difficulty learning new motor tasks, experiences frustration
Messy handwriting
How can I get a child evaluated?
You may refer your child without a professional. Many of our patients are referred to us by physicians or Child Development Services Agency (CDSA). Frequently, other adults in a child's life such as daycare providers, teachers or relatives observe behaviors which concern them and make a referral for evaluation. With the parent's permission, they call us and schedule a free screening. We evaluate the child and offer a comprehensive report on our findings. The report also indicates short and long term goals we believe we can achieve through therapy
How do occupational therapists determine whether problems exist?
The skills children should have at certain ages are fairly well determined. Occupational therapists use standardized testing, clinical observations, and input from caregivers to identify any challenges a child may have. Depending on the types of difficulties reported, assessment can include evaluation of sensory processing, postural development, motor planning and coordination, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive skills and visual perceptual development.Occupational therapists will also consider the quality of the child's performance, how a child functions across different settings, and to what degree a child's difficulties are impacting his ability to participate in the activities of daily life. This assessment can clearly identify if and how therapy would be beneficial. Occupational therapy assessment can also help to identify problems that may need further evaluation and referral to other specialists such as physicians, physical therapists or speech-language pathologists.
We help your children by determining which of these conditions they may have:
Cerebral Palsy
Developmental delays
Birth defects
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
Behavioral problems
Spina Bifida
Issues related to prematurity
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Genetic Disorders
Orthopaedic Problems
Traumatic Brain Injury
Spinal Cord Injury
Down Syndrome
Treatment Techniques We Use
Beckman Oral Motor Assessment and Intervention

Styled Home Shoot with Miter Renovations (pt 2)
For those of you who follow along with me on my Instagram stories, you probably recognize Brendan Drohan of Miter Renovations – the unaware yet good-natured star of countless on-site boomerangs! Brendan is a contractor (a great one, at that!), and he and his wife, Rebecca started their own design/build company, Miter Renovations in 2017. Believe it or not, Brendan connected through my favourite app (Instagram, duh!). We met for a coffee, got along right away, and I had the pleasure of working alongside him + his trades to bring the Hanson Ranch Overhaul to life.
Before they started Miter, Brendan and Rebecca renovated their own builder-grade home in Calgary's northwest. They did a great job, and when they asked me to help style their home to get some professional photos done, I jumped at the opportunity. Nothing makes my job more fun than awesome clients with great taste + personalities, and the Drohans have BOTH! Take a look at the photos of the main floor (pt 1) to see what we came up with. In "part 2" of this styled home shoot, our goal was to highlight the master bedroom and Brendan and Rebecca's young daughter's room, both of which have been upgraded with the Drohan's touch. The master ensuite has also been fully renovated, and we wanted to emphasize the unique storage solutions and gorgeous craftsmanship. Thanks to Justine Milton for the beautiful photographs!

As a special feature you can include the little witch or take a "tuck" in the pattern and leave her out. I recommend including her in some rows, but not in others to prevent a strong vertical "column" of witches.
Have fun and don't eat too much candy!

For instance, in addition to the table Contact, we create a table named ContactEmailAddress_lookup that enables us to retrieve a Contact by using their email address.
Lookup types
Depending on the type of data, there are three different types of lookups:
- Unique lookups
- Multiple lookups
- Regular lookups
Unique lookups
When we want to ensure that the data is unique, we define a unique lookup:
- The json file describing the lookup is defined with "lookup_type":is_unique: true.
- The column that stores the object ID is defined with columntype: regular which is the default column type.
- The other columns are defined with columntype: partitionKey.
Inserting into unique lookups is done with INSERT IF NOT EXISTS statements, so there is only one record with this key. Any attempt to insert another row with the same key will fail.
Multiple lookups
When we don't need to ensure that the data is unique, we define a multiple lookup:
- The json file describing the lookup is defined with "lookup_type": multiple.
- The column that stores the object ID is defined with columntype: clusteringKey so that it is part of the primary key.
- The other columns are defined with columntype: partitionKey.
Inserting into mutliple lookups is done with a regular INSERT statement, because there is no need to fail if another record exists with the same key. In any case, the partition key contains the object ID, so there is no possibility of duplication.
Regular lookups
When the data is usually unique but can be duplicated (such as a Phone Number, which can be shared by several persons), we define a regular lookup:
- The json file describing the lookup is defined with "lookup_type": "regular"
- The column that stores the object ID is defined with "columntype": "regular" which is the default type.
- One or more columns are defined with "columntype": "partitionKey" and one or more columns are defined with "columntype": "clusteringKey".
Inserting into regular lookups is done with several INSERT IF NOT EXISTS statements, but the insertion of the contact itself does not fail if a record already exists. When further searching with the lookup, this new Contact or an existing one will be returned according to the available parameters.
Lookup behavior
For each operation on the object table, there are corresponding operations to conduct on the lookup tables. For instance, when inserting a contact into the Contact table with an email address, we need to insert the corresponding row in the ContactEmailAddress lookup table, and delete it when deleting the contact.
Inserting lookup records
The names of the columns in the lookup table correspond to the names of the columns in the main table. Some columns in the lookup tables can correspond to inner values; for instance, the EmailAddress attribute in the Contact table is not directly stored in a column, but is in the Attribute field.
A row must be created in the lookup table if the object has a value for each field of the lookup table. If a contact has no email address, then we do not need to create any record in the lookup table.
Creating an object
The first thing to do when inserting an object is to create the corresponding rows in the unique lookups. This is done with INSERT IF NOT EXISTS statements so that inserting the object fails if there is a conflict in one of the unique lookups.
Because these IF NOT EXISTS statements correspond to different tables, these requests cannot be done by a BATCH statement—they have to be done one by one.
When dealing with several unique lookups, we may face the situation where we successfully inserted a record in one lookup table, but failed to insert the record in the second table. This is why the LookupManager creates insert/delete pairs of statements. When the second insert fails, we are able to rollback the insert in the first table.
If all the unique lookups rows were successfully created, then we insert them into the multiple lookups and the main object table, this time in a BATCH.
Deleting an object
All the DELETE statements (from unique and multiple lookups and from the main table) are done in BATCH statements.
Modifying an object
An object is a collection of attributes. Modifying an object can be considered as deleting and adding attributes. The modification of an attribute is processed as deleting the previous value and inserting the new value.
Deleting an attribute
When deleting an attribute, the lookup tables that contain this attribute are affected, and the corresponding rows must be deleted. If the deletion succeeds, then we delete the attribute from the main table.
Adding an attribute
When adding an attribute to an object, we follow the same algorithm as the one for creating an object, because the insertion into the unique lookups can possibly fail.

Any colour you like, as long as it's Red
Ferrari Club visit to Summerhill Stud and Hartford House
(Photos : Annet Becker and Greig Muir)
This was new history in the making. Not only for Ferraris' trademark "red", but especially for the quality of the "fillies" these aging fellows had in tow!"
I was down at the Final Call stable block on a "refreshingly cool" Saturday morning, when I heard the unmistakable growl that precedes the start of a Formula One Grand Prix. Potholes generally preclude racing cars from inhabiting our neck of the woods, so I immediately thought it had to be a Nampo (as in "national maize producers organisation") harvest day, with all the big machines that such a procession involves. There's a stone-clad arch that frames the entrance to the yard, and as I glanced through it, the old wrought iron gates that announce your arrival at Summerhill, were being gently thrust aside to accommodate the "Red Army".
Greg Petzer, the man behind Astrapak's sponsorship of the old Republic Day Handicap in 2002, was in the lead Ferrari, and there was nothing behind him worth less than a million, with some of them commanding sums in the vicinity of "five". The difference, as we pointed out to these "magnificent men in their flying machines", is that a stallion of that value can return you several million Rands a year tax-free, while the dividend on their side is that guttural "bark" and the adrenalin rush that turns big men into little boys. One day perhaps, we might be able to trade the badge on their Ferraris for a proper horse on his hindlegs, but we're a subtle bunch here, as you know, and we desisted from any direct hints.
We've witnessed the launch of new models of Range Rover, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Bugatti motorbikes here at Hartford, we've seen streams of "Harleys", vintage cars and horse buggies across these storied paddocks, but this was new history in the making. Not only for Ferraris' trademark "red", but especially for the quality of the "fillies" these aging fellows had in tow! There's an old saying from Richard The Lionheart's days about what "the outside of a horse does for the inside of a man", but there's something about the outside of a Ferrari that a woman just cannot resist!

I seem to be developing this very familiar pattern that every time I forget to take my camera I stumble across something of interest and today was no exception.
This morning I dropped into Marine Studios in Albert Terrace to give the studio my collection of items that I picked up last year and this winter including the Mitten crab samples, about twenty pieces of Amber and a collection of clams. As I looked out of the window across the main sands the tide was out. Directly out from Godden gap on Marine Terrace on the low water mark I could see this gully that the Margate metal detector users have been telling me about. From where I was standing I could see a few timbers from the wreck that had exposed this winter in the same gully.
I had heard about the wreck uncovering a few months ago and this was the first opportunity I have had to give it a good look. By closer examination I estimate the wooden wreckage to be about 25 feet long and between 6 to 8 feet wide and scattered around there are a number of ribs from the wreckage. The condition of the timber is excellent and the ribs are laying loose so they can easily be carried off the beach. Around the wreckage are deposits of clay from the Tivoli Brooks and a mixture of shingle and loose chalk. Amongst the layers of chalk and clay there were shards of plate, clay pipe stems, broken bottles, worn beach glass and all the debris associated with the Victorian / Edwardian seaside up until the 1930's. I carried out a quick search of the area and it was quick with the tide coming in. Finds included a complete lamont pattern mineral water bottle circa 1880's and a part of a M J Harlow mineral water bottle minus a neck probably dated around pre First World War. I also came across a large granite block which may have been ballast from the Wreck.
Dating a wreck like this can be difficult and does take a great deal of research, however I do have a theory.
As soon as I saw the wreckage I was amazed at the amount of timber because being so close to Margate as a single wreck would have been completely salvaged as every available piece would have been used by the local population even if it was used for firewood. Therefore I would assume that the wrecking could have happened at a time when more than one vessel was wrecked. The theory being that rich and easy pickings and financial reward would take priority of firewood. This would then point to the storm of 24th November 1877 when the wind changed dramatically from SSE to NNE severe force gale driving all the shipping anchored in the Margate Roads onto the shore. This events surrounding this storm are well documented in the Margate Historical Society archives by Mick Twyman, John Willaims and Chris Sandwell.
In the Margate area alone seven ships were wrecked during that storm and many were driven ashore damaged. On Michael's Thanetonline, Michael published a postcard some time back of a badly damaged Margate Jetty that was damaged by the " Charles Davenport" that had been driven along the coast by this gale and sliced into the Jetty. In the background of this postcard many sailing ships can be seen aground in the bay and on the Nayland which would have occupied all the available local labour from carpenters , seamen and salvagers. Also taking into consideration all the loses on the North Kent coast I am sure the coastline would have been littered with easy pickings for the local population who would have had the luxury of ignoring such a bounty on Margate main sands.
I stress this is only a plausible theory until further research is carried out

Your Church Sound System is in Good Hands
At House of Worship Technology, we strive to be the absolute best at what we do, so whether you have old equipment that needs repairs, need a quote for an entirely new system, require a consultation in order to figure out what you need, or simply need training for the equipment that you do have, we're here to help.
We've been doing what we do for quite some time and we'd love nothing more than to make your church into the house of worship that you feel called to be.

We recently received some cool toys from Hasbro's Playskool Heroes range and although little Mister is a bit young for these toys - little Miss was more than happy to test them out - who said boys toys aren't for girls!
The Playskool Heroes range is especially designed for little hands and is all about cool characters like Captain America, Spiderman, the Hulk, Star Wars and Transformers. Perfect for little ones this Christmas.
We received Transformers Rescue Bots and Star Wars Galactic Heroes and as soon as they arrived, they were ripped out of their packaging and tested immediately!
Based on the old school Transformers, kids can transform their favourite robot warrior back and forth and go on adventures with them!
Little Miss didn't need instructions to work out how to transform each bot from robot to car (and back) and liked playing with them (although her little brother has now taken them)!
We also received a few famous characters from the Star Wars Galactic Heroes collection. To be expected, R2-D2 and C-3PO were the true favourite gang!
Perfect size for little Miss' hands or little Mister who has grabbed them (thrown them) a few times without any trouble and without us worrying for small parts as most (except for the Storm Trooper's shield) are attached to the figurine. They are also great for role playing and some old school galactic arguments!
And of course as every toy in the house seems to end up - they are great for mixing up and extending the fun!
We had a great time reviewing toys from the Playskool Heroes range and recommend them for little hands (boys or girls) and super heroes' fans.

There are many beautiful women in this world of ours, that much is certain. But only one of them delivered my two great kids and I have loved for twenty years. So it is impossible to imagine a different life or course of action than I'm on. That being said, if Sarah turned up at my front door one evening, I'd sure have to think twice!

If you've been listening to uplifting trance over the years, then you should already be acquainted with the hallmark trance sounds of Afternova. After having released a plethora of trance bangers on his labels Afternova Music and Time Leap Records under aliases such as Night Sky, Northern Skyline, and Third Point, Afternova blesses us with a three track EP titled Afternova Essential Mixes Part 1. These singles will surely gratify any trance fan's yearnings for uplifting melodies and pounding basslines.
The lead single "Watching the Stars (Essential Mix)" kicks into gear in typical fashion with a punchy kick and a rolling mid bassline to set the groove of the track. Before you know it, the intro lead melody kicks in which leads up to the melodic breakdown. From there the track effortlessly ascends off into pure euphoria as the full melody is ultimately revealed. This one has a very distinctive, summerish vibe to it and is destined for the clubs.
The other two singles off the EP "Integrity (Essential Mix)" and "Way of Life (Essential Mix)" are just as melodic and uplifting as the lead single. If you're an avid Afternova follower, then you know he never disappoints with the leads and these three tracks display his penchant for uplifting trance melodies. On that note, be sure to pick this one up and add to your collections.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - IDEX Janus Growth Fund manager Ed Keely is scouring the stock market for companies still growing their top-line in these tough economic times.
It's a tall order, but he seems to be holding his own. Although the fund IDETX is off 4.75 percent year-to-date, it ranks 62nd among the roughly 680 funds in the Lipper Large Cap classification.
And for the fourth quarter, Keely says his holdings managed to grow revenue by 19 percent, compared to an increase of roughly 7 percent for the general market. The fund has assets of roughly $1.1 billion.
Once an interesting prospect is settled upon, Keely zeroes in on companies that display at least one of three other virtues. The first of these is an ability to raise prices even when the economy is displaying low inflation.
At present, the only industries he believes are able to do this are the managed care and insurance firms. Next is good unit growth, usually driven by new products or increases in market share. Lastly, he targets secular growth, searching in industries that are relatively immune to the economy.
Two other key concerns are cash flow and valuation. "In this uncertain economy cash flow is more important than earnings," he says. "And of course, the valuation has to be sensible."
One of Keely's longtime holdings is Medtronic MDT, +0.60%. The Minneapolis-based firm is a leader in a secular growth area, medical devices, and it's poised to benefit from a likely legislative change that would allow Medicare reimbursement for implantation of defibrillators. A panel has recommended the reimbursement but a decision still needs to be finalized and approved by Congress. Shares rose $1.05 to close at $44.15 on Friday.
"This is a very large, market expanding opportunity," Keely notes. "It could boost the overall (defibrillator) market by as much as 300,000 patients per year."
Another stock that Keely likes is slot machine manufacturer International Game Technology IGT, +0.21%. With 70 percent market share, IGT is at the top of the list of companies set to benefit from a major machine replacement cycle heralded by recent news of aggressive capital spending plans at casinos such as MGM Mirage MGG, -0.80%, and Mandalay Resort Group MBG, +0.08%. Shares of IGT rose $1.80 to $75.87.
Keely also singled out SLM Corp. SLM, +0.96%, or Sallie Mae, for attention. The company competes with the federal government to provide financial assistance for students. He's confident SLM's efficiency will allow it to continue to take market share from Uncle Sam, which still services 30 percent of student loans.
In addition, rising tuition costs should pump up profits because Sallie Mae can earn more money on the higher principle with little increase in costs. The government is also expected to raise the maximum borrowing amount for student loans in the next few years, Keely said, providing another potential catalyst for the shares. Shares closed up $3.02 on Friday at $107.84.

From Camilla Morton, in Paris
IN the other half of the Grande Palais, the refurbished venue was still to be marvelled at, yet this time the set was also ready to write a blockbuster in the shape of the Chanel show. As a zeppelin with camera attached flew over the crowds, guests sat down to a weighty book about the installation and ooh la la restoration and - perhaps more excitingly - a parasol in either pistachio or a shade of strawberry shortcake. The pink draped curtains crowned the wide flat grey base that was merely a platform for a 30x50 foot plasma screen and keyboard – a larger than lifesize laptop. This time instead of hitting the keys you could jump and jab you heels on them. The show notes said this was Coco meets James Dean and what a rebel with a cause this combination was going to be. The show started with frantic touch typing on the keyboard, fingers like scurrying mice, and then the electronic rock version of "This town ain't big enough for the both of us" and the Coco v Dean rivalry/frisson began. A floppy black and white Prince of Wales check coat with monotone booties was followed round the rampage by a denim-clad Dean but he was hotly chased by slimfit denims slashed at the knee, denim jacket complete with the house camellia corsage and a girl with an expression of determination. Tweed bomber jackets were zipped up front and classic Chanel frock coats were worn with slimfit pants cut off at the knees - all done in buttery black leather for bike rides after dark. Girls followed by boys, chased by girls, and the pursuit ended as they all stood in formation on the quirky keyboard – every need from A to Z was covered and punctuated. Denim pants were tight and worn with tweed or a dash of evening attire. Classic Delanay-style prints in chiffon billowed over the tight gamine Natalie Wood denim. Yes there were the classic Chanel tweeds but why not in technivision – try yellow with peachy trim or a blushed tweed with biker black underneath or plum tweed with chunky zips and bell sleeves. Cocktail to evening and Coco's spirt still preferred things black and chic. Silver trim on a masculine military style jacket over lace cropped shorts and best of all , a black tux complete with ruffled satin shirt was a slimfit Le Smoking avec le slim shorts. The lacy crochet section in black and white and the Eighties electronic <I>Weird Science</I> style lesson continued as black chiffon and stripes stood to attention. A bronze sequinned corsage, pinned on a black top, was teamed with a bronze sequinned skirt made up of more camellias. Carman Kass looked girly in a black ruffle chiffon dress, Maria Carla like a doll in a black dress with white sequinned fan bodice and Gemma Ward was angelic in the off-white finale - a chiffon dress, camellia at her heart and on the hem. Then all the assembled letters needed only one man to come and make the jumble into the prose that is Coco meets James Dean. (October 7 2005, AM)

A Hurting Phillies Fan
Reigning NL East Champs
Phillies Stuff
Phillies Book
- The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly: Philadelphia Phillies: Heart-Pounding, Jaw-Dropping,
Amazon.com: The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly: Philadelphia Phillies: Heart-Pounding, Jaw-Dropping, and Gut-Wrenching Moments from Philadelphia Phillies History (9781600781643): Todd Zolecki, Scott Franzke: Books
As many of you know, I'm a die hard Philadelphia fan in every sport. No longer living in the Philadelphia area makes this even harder for me. As I had to give in to the fact the NY Giants won the Super Bowl after teh Eagles waiting too long before they decided to play football, I am now suffering through an unexpected, painful baseball season!! The Phillies have just been absolutely horrible this season.
I'm not going to hide behind the fact of their major injuries, which are definitely playing a role in this sub-par season, but even without the big guns of Utley and Howard, the quality pitching they have should keep them in any penant race. Of course, the offense does need to provide "some" runs, something the Phils have been unable to do all year. You tell me how it took Cliff Lee until July 5 to win his first game of the season. Haliday as well as suffered due to the lack of offense. Hamels could probably be closer to 20 wins at the mid-way part of the season had they been able to produce alittle more support for him.
Anyway, losing and being in last place is not something this Phillies fan is used to experiencing, at least not in recent years. Yes, when I was little, the Phillies were perennial cellar dwellings, but in the past decade, they've owned the NL East.
So here is the question I am posing to all you baseball fans out there, regardless of whether or not your a Phillies fan. Will the Phillies make a run for the penant in the second half of the season. Granted, they are 12 games out at the midway part of the season. Chase Utley has recently returned to the lineup after missing the entire season to date and has already hit a few home runs in his first week back. Ryan Howard could be back as early as this coming weekend (July 10) and we all know the impact he alone can have on an offense. Given Hamels has been having a great year and Lee, now with his first win, will hopefully get some more offensive support, do you think the Phils can pull off a turnaround? Haliday is sitll a few weeks away from being back on the mound in a game so that will just add to the potential fire power needed to make a serious run!!
If Ruiz continues as hot as he's been all year, Victorino gets out of his recent slump, and Rollins who has been hot of late, joins Pence in getting on base, I think you really can't count the Phils out just yet!!!
They only have a few weeks to prove that htey can still be a contender, otherwise, I think you're going to see a fire sale in Philly. Hamels and Victorino are free agents, so they would be the first to go!!
Anyway, I am making my claim right now, on July 7, that the Phils aren't done yet. I want to hear what you baseball fans out there think of my opinion? Let me know via comments below and enjoy the rest of hte season!!
Are Playoffs in the Phillies 2012 Future?
Do you think the Phillies have a chance to make a comeback this year?

My love affair with dance
Dong Mei is a freelance solo dance artist residing in Vancouver, Canada. She was born in Guangxi, China, and was once a youth instructor at the Beijing Dance Academy before moving to Vancouver in 2014. At the age of 11, she began her studies at the Beijing Dance Academy's associated high school and continued on to earn her Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) degree there. During her third year Bachelors studies, Dong Mei was already awarded the highest honour, the "Solo Chinese Cultural Performance Award" presented to her by the professional performing arts section of the People's Republic of China's Department of Culture. When she entered the Student Cup Competition in her second year of undergrad, the Assistant Executive Director of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony, Mr. Zhang Ji Gang, gave her high praise commenting: "When Dong Mei was performing the dance 'A Blossoming Apricot Branch,' not only was her body moving fluidly, she was full of emotion. A good performer with depth and potential." When she was in university, the Academy hired a renown Uyghur performing artist from Xinjiang, Hailiqermu Xidiker, to teach a professional leveled course. Dong Mei finished with a perfect score which had never been achieved by anyone since the establishment of Beijing Dance Academy's exam system. She has performed many dance dramas and repertoire pieces in venues such as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Lincoln Theatre and the Beijing National Theatre, demonstrating her rich experience in stage performance.
In an artistic journey that has spanned nearly 20 years, Dong Mei has created a one-of-a-kind vocabulary of physical movement inspired by tradition, innovation, and a unique worldview. In September of 2018, she collaborated with new media performing artist Sammy to create Flow(er), which premiered in Vancouver. In October of 2017, she was invited to the 3rd Fall for Dance North (FFDN), the most prestigious international dance festival in Toronto, to perform her solo "A Blossoming Apricot Branch." It was the only solo dance presented in the festival and received great reviews from local artists and audience. Between 2016 and 2018, Dong Mei used three consecutive years to create a series of new works, including "Water," "The Journey of Wang Zhaojun" and "Zhu Lai", for the Chinese New Year Galas in Vancouver. In June of 2014, she choreographed and directed her solo dance show, Dong Mei and Water--A dialogue about Life, premiered at the Dance Center Theatre in Vancouver. At the same time, she explored through the creation of merging dance and short films: "Water," "½", and "Clash.

The awards include Wenhua Award of the Year, Wenhua Award for Original Production, and individual categories such as Outstanding Artist, Outstanding Director, Outstanding Playwright, Outstanding Stage Design etc.

Every day, we are bombarded with consumer product choices – ads tailored specifically to our browsing history pop up on our social media feeds. Amazon sends personalized emails with product suggestions; a product recently viewed is suddenly shown in the margin of the news article we are reading. We (or at least I) spend hours comparing products, consumer reviews, and prices to determine what we want to purchase. Traditionally, however, we don't face this same level of consumption choice in healthcare as various constraints such as what providers are in our health insurer's network, what services are included in our coverage, and lack of price transparency restrict the choices. Still, there is much debate in the industry among healthcare and business professionals if patients should be viewed as consumers.
As many who believe patients should be seen purely as consumers argue, those seeking healthcare services have more choice than ever. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) gave patients the options to shop for insurance plans on the marketplace exchange. Reports have consistently shown that individuals make their choices for health plans on the marketplace exchange based on their ability to afford each plan, similar to a typical consumer. Additionally, the ability to access healthcare services, just like any other goods-producing industry, are increasingly becoming available 24/7. Patients can now often access their medical records through mobile apps, schedule their own appointments, and attend tele-visits with providers. There are even apps such as Amwell that allow patients to receive visits on demand with prescriptions sent electronically to a chosen pharmacy. Technological advances and individuals' desire to make more informed decisions have forced healthcare companies to adapt and become more transparent and accessible to those seeking care. The argument of many that see patients as consumers is that, like everything else in the digital age, control of healthcare must continue to shift to the individual.
Many healthcare professionals, on the other hand, strongly believe that it is a grave error to view patients purely as customers. One article in the New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst, for example, argues that viewing healthcare as merely another commodity bought by consumers is a misrepresentation of the nature of the work. They support this argument with the truth that ethical constraints and obligations are different in healthcare than in typical consumer products industries. It is true that the information age has given us the access to all of Google's answers to what is ailing us at the moment, but in reality, the typical person is not appropriately equipped or qualified to determine the best treatment and must depend on a professional. Another commonly cited reason against categorizing patients purely as customers is that patients, when extremely sick or in need of a life-saving procedure, disregard cost and have no choice but to place a high degree of trust in another individual – one who has studied and practiced for years in preparation to become a healthcare practitioner – to intervene to save their lives. That level of trust is not typically placed in someone else in a typical consumer industry.
A commonly held opinion is that those receiving care are both consumers and patients. Because of the piece of healthcare that involves making choices, such as the purchase of insurance plans, which provider organization to receive care from, and increases in visit-type availability, there is a consumer role in the healthcare market. Although the choices aren't as robust as in other industries, they are still present, and that factor cannot be ignored. However, patients can never be fully replaced with the idea of consumers and remain unique. The reality is that we are all both patients and consumers.

What is a standard SSL certificate?
Article Number: 1109 | Rating: 4/5 from 1 votes | Last Updated: Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 10:49 AM
What is a standard SSL certificate?
For a more general overview of SSL certificates, see What are SSL certificates?
Standard SSL certificates are server security certificates that provide the lowest level of validation available from commercial certificate authorities.
Client requirements
In order to obtain a standard SSL certificate, you must prove you own the domain by responding to an email or phone call using the information in the WHOIS record of the domain.
Standard SSL certificates can be issued by the Certificate Authority (CA), who will verify that a contact at the domain in question approves the certificate request. This approval is usually done by email, but can also be done via telephone or through alternate methods. However, your company does not have to be validated and no organization name is entered in the certificate. Refer to How to purchase a standard SSL certificate for more information.
The standard SSL certificate issuance can usually be automated. Standard SSL certificates are offered at prices much lower than premium or extended validation (EV) SSL certificates.
The following are some of the attributes provided by a standard SSL certificate:
If you wish to purchase a standard SSL certificate, visit the Nexcess website or refer to How to purchase a standard SSL certificate.
For more information or sales inquiries, visit the Nexcess website or contact our Sales Team between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. eastern time (ET), Monday - Friday.

You've just tucked them in bed, sung a soothing lullaby and dimmed the bedroom lights. You are looking forward to a quiet evening toasting your toes in front of the fire or catching up on the latest news with your friend on the telephone.
But the pleasure is shortlived. Just as you've begun to unwind you hear a cry. By the time you've reached the top of the stairs it has developed into an ear piercing wail.
No amount of gentle words or stroking will soothe baby who is keen to get out of her cot and into your arms. Eventually, you give in and take her downstairs and spend the evening cuddling this wily bundle as you juggle tea-making with back rubbing.
Research indicates most children, especially pre-schoolers, spend half their time in bed. This is hard to believe if you are the parent of a lively toddler who with steely determination shuns much shut-eye, preferring to get on with the exciting business of living life to the full.
Experts say sleep problems are universal among pre-school children. Many simply do not want to go to bed, others settle down early but wake up several times during the night.
For some, this may be a security issue, maybe they are worried their parents will not be there so they wake up to check. Or the birth of a new baby, particularly if your other child has been an only child for some time, may cause a break in normal sleeping patterns.
Babies may not have established a set sleeping pattern yet or may have colic or some other condition which causes discomfort and prevents them from settling down.
However, sometimes it may be hard to discover why junior keeps waking up night after night and no amount of psychoanalysis may uncover the truth. Some sleep specialists put it all down to bad habits. They say children expect their parents to come in at night and give a drink, snack or cuddle. So, they wake in anticipation of this treat. Parents must break this pattern and sleep association if they want their child to develop a good sleeping system.
Desperate parents are willing to try anything to solve the situation from bringing their child into their own bed nightly to singing endless nursery rhymes and giving regular bottles to toddlers in the hope of calming them.
Other parents let their children cry but give up shortly and check on them. A vicious circle can then arise and the child gets more awake and the parents more frustrated. And so it goes on, night after night.
What can parents do to get their children to sleep through the night? Is it all a matter of being firm and following a routine? Or do you need to adopt devious tactics to outwit these smart little people who have difficulty pronouncing the word 'bottle' but have more cunning in their baby fingers than most of us accumulate in a lifetime?
Think out clearly in the daytime the plan of action you need to put into force at night when the child wakes. Your aim is to settle your child back to sleep. Do not start routines which take hours or you will be up all night. Set a pleasant but unalterable bedtime routine.
Although children's sleep needs vary experts say a new born baby should be getting 16 to 17 hours a day, in about seven sleeping and waking periods. A six month old baby should be sleeping 11 to 12 hours a night with an hour's nap after lunch.
Tips for getting children to sleep
* Put them to bed at the same time each night. Make bedtime a ritual - perhaps including reading a story - pleasant and unvarying. Canadian sleep expert Dr Richard Ferber says one cardinal rule is: do not go to your child the moment you hear the first yell. He recommends the first time waiting five minutes, then go in briefly. Do not pick up the child, rock or cuddle him - just let him know you are there. After a couple of minutes go out again. On the second night of crying wait for 10 minutes before going in and on the third night wait 15. Within a week of this regime, says Dr Ferber, you should have a good sleeper in your midst.
* Do not be tempted to use bed or bedtime as a punishment. This would only reinforce the message that bed and bedtime is a separation from loved ones and fun. Do not even suggest it indirectly by saying, "You must be tired or you wouldn't be so cranky."
* Leaving children's bedroom doors open at night may help ease the separation from parents and give them a means of communicating with you.
* Many children are afraid of the dark. A small light or a dimmer switch will help combat this fear.
* Encourage children to make their bedroom into a mini-home which they can fill with their own possessions.
* Make their beds as attractive as possible because this will entice them to get to bed. Pretty duvets or pyjamas are well worth buying because they may make bedtime more pleasant.
* A musical box or radio will provide friendly noise. Many children find silence threatening.
* Most children have special bed toys or comforters. It may be a battered teddybear or a favourite half chewed blanket. Be sure to give these pride of place and if possible, have replacement toys, so you will not have to go on a massive hunt for them before bedtime.
* Many children experience nightmares. Some of these stem from stories children have heard or programmes they have seen on television during the day. Be vigilant about pre-bedtime influences. If children wake up at night reassure them gently and put them back to sleep in their own bed.
