Fertile ground- Gillingham Primary School
Gillingham Primary School is laying the foundations for literacy in North Dorset, as Joël Lacey discovered
Published in March '11
It may seem an obvious thing to say, but, without literacy, the rest of a child's education is much, much harder. At Gillingham Primary School, the focus on the children being able to read and to write permeates the school's whole being – not least because it is a centre for helping children across the district overcome any difficulties they may have reading and writing. Head teacher, Catharine Jessiman, who has just celebrated her second anniversary at the school, is incredibly proud both of what her pupils are achieving, and how members of her staff are going about helping them, by a combination of 'direct' teaching, cross-curricular learning, parent involvement and, probably most importantly of all, making learning fun.
As you walk around the school there are examples of children's work adorning the walls. There is nothing novel there, perhaps, but after a request from the children themselves, the walls are not merely covered in paintings and collages, but also in the written work that the children have produced. It is a small thing to give a piece of writing the same status of an artwork in terms of its physical display, but it represents a shift in how writing is now more highly valued by the school and the children.
There is, of course, no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to improving literacy, but what there is at Gillingham Primary School is an overarching philosophy that literacy will be at the heart of everything. So, for example, in year one (what was second year infants in old money), there is cross-curricular learning in maths and literacy. There is also cross-fertilisation between the years. When a writing den was set-up for the reception class, the older children saw it and wanted to have one themselves. When a writing club was set-up for the Key Stage 1 pupils, it was, seemingly against everything that we are led to believe, the boys who wanted to give up their playtime to be part of it.
This doesn't mean that the children are the only ones having fun. The final act of a project on the Great Fire of London will hopefully, fire service presence permitting, be a re-enactment of the fire itself in the playground, a reflection perhaps on how, as much as being an essential health and safety requirement, men in uniform are appreciated by children and teachers alike! A project on World War 2 involved the building of an Anderson shelter from wood and cardboard. The shelter became a place where lessons could take place, where relevant historical artefacts and information can be displayed too.
Gillingham Primary School is home to 360 children from the local area in the four to eleven age range, and it also plays host to nineteen children from within and outside Gillingham's catchment area who are part of the school's district-wide 'speech and language' work. As well as additional teaching in smaller groups, the 'Green Base' (infants) and 'Gold Base' (juniors) are integrated with the rest of the school's children in the afternoons, to permit them to have a main stream school experience as well as the extra help that they need in the Base. This socialisation element of learning is also evident, for example, in mixed-age reading groups (Year 3 and Year 4), and also through ideas like the 'classroom pets' scheme, where a book is produced based on a cuddly-toy's weekend trips to the home of each of the members of a given class. Sometimes the children write about what the pet has been doing and sometimes, where a little more imagination is used, the pet writes about what the child has been doing. In the younger classes children talk about the pet's weekend adventures prior to a writing exercise. This is all part of the school enabling the children to write from their own experiences ensuring they all are able to succeed. 'Hear My Voice' books are another example of this. Children have a book in which they are free to write on whatever subject in whatever style they wish. All writing is valued as well as giving the teachers examples of how the children are able to put into practice things they have been formerly taught and also areas teachers need to further devlop or repeat.
For those with memories of primary school teachers in mortar board and billowing gown who may be harrumphing at soft toys and 'free' writing being used to teach literacy, Gillingham Primary School also sets school-wide targets for specific areas of literacy; these may be specific elements of grammar or, as is the case at the moment, punctuation. The targets are layered into 'must', 'should' and 'could' targets; all children must be able to do the basics by the end of the year, most children should be able to do slightly more complicated work and some children could go yet further. In another nod to the past, a 'house' system has also been re-introduced in order to combine a competitive element between parts of the school with a team-building ethos within the houses.
Having mentioned a couple of elements that might appeal to traditionalists, it is fair to say that acres of red ink do not form part of the regime. Even the use of colours is quite instructive. In the 'Tickled Pink, Growing Green' initiative, where a child has absolutely understood and implemented the specific learning objective being taught, they see pink highlighting to show the teacher is 'tickled pink' with the child's effort. Where further work has yet to be done, green is the colour used to show where there is room for improvement. The use of the word 'growing' along with the colour green tries to get away from the 'SEE ME!' or 'NO' of yesteryear, but also to improve the child's understanding of the next steps by linking any 'growing greens' with an explanation of where a child may need to focus his or her attention. What marking on a particular topic explicitly does not do is to mark every mistake on a page, only those relating to the learning objective taught that day, so as not to lose the message of the lesson in a sea of unrelated corrections. The marking guide, which the children understand, lets them know how they are progressing and 'WALTs' (What am I Learning Today) together with success criteria, let the pupils know what they are going to do in a particular lesson and then they can see how they have done against that measure afterwards.
One of the key elements involved in dealing with the huge variety of educational and social backgrounds of the students from the local area, is in the efforts the school is making in trying to ensure that the parents are confident in working with their children, in initiatives like on World Book Day, where the children come in dressed as a character from their favourite book and read with their parents in school afterwards. Home/School reading is also encouraged at all ages through the school. Parents are also able to come in for reading taster sessions, where they can find out what they can do to support their children's reading and the school also has links with Gillingham's Family and Adult Learning Centre to help less-confident adults. This holistic policy also extends through to the four feeder pre-schools that send children on to Gillingham Primary School. The school is developing strong links with the pre-schools and staff visit to get to know the children, and the pre-school children visit their reception class before they actually start.
The team of teachers and teaching assistants at Gillingham Primary School are committed to continuing their learning and professional development and are specialists in their fields.
It may seem obvious that the flip-side of literacy being needed in order to learn any other subject is that any other subject can be used to teach literacy, but it is quite striking just how far the idea can be taken. It is really remarkable to see a science and design technology project on lighthouses, written by an eight year old, laminated and bound with a contents page, introduction, building instructions and even a glossary.
It is fair to say that for many people, literacy is something they take for granted. It is equally fair to say that nobody at Gillingham Primary School takes it for granted, nor is anybody there content to sit on their laurels. What is sure, although Catharine Jessiman is obviously far too diplomatic and too experienced to admit it, is that they would all be terribly disappointed if the school's efforts to improve literacy are not recognised in a future Ofsted visit.

The Second Battle of Aachen was a battle during the First Viking Wars. Led by Atticus I of the Eastern Roman and Frankish Empires, the battle was an attempt to retake the city of Aachen. Following the Carolingian Victory, the Vikings were pushed back to Maastricht.
The Rhine Raids had all but crippled the Frankish Empire in the German areas. With the Frankish Navy faltering and the Frankish armies losing battle after battle, the late 840s were grim for the Franks. The Vikings relied on hit-and-run attacks to keep the Franks on the run. Cities, towns, and other settlements along the Rhine River were sacked by the Vikings. Utrecht and Cologne were among the prosperous cities that had been sacked by the Vikings.
In 849, the Vikings sent a large raiding party down the Meuse River. The Vikings were only able to take their ships so far. In the spring of 849, Maastricht was sacked by the Vikings, allowing them to easily reach both Liége and Aachen. Most of the Rhine Raids only resulted in the sacking of towns. Maastricht, on the other hand, was occupied. From here, the Vikings launched raids against several other settlements before, finally, a Danish raiding party led by Ragnar Lodbrok reached Aachen.
So began the First Battle of Aachen. The battle resulted in the destruction of large swaths of the city, including much of the Palace of Aachen. The Frankish Emperor, Lothair I, was killed when the Palace of Aachen collapsed. The Vikings occupied the city for three weeks until the Franks were able to retake it.
Atticus I, unwilling to allow Francia to suffer more defeats and potentially fracture, bypassed several traditions and customs to become the Frankish Emperor. Doing so was seen as a dishonor to Lothair I and his children, but Atticus disregarded the controversy for another time. Lending several fleets and Byzantine tagmata to the Franks, Atticus I and his forces surrounded the city before storming it.
Using the breach in the wall created by the Vikings during the First Battle of Aachen, the Franks were able to pour into the city. At the same time, the Byzantines were storming the southern gates of Aachen. Once the gates were breached, the Franks and Byzantines were able to merge their armies, storming the Vikings inside Aachen. The battle was much shorter than the First Battle of Aachen, though it resulted ultimately in a Frankish/Eastern Roman victory. The Carolingian armies initially assumed Ragnar Lodbrok had died in the battle, but his body couldn't be found. They later discovered that he had survived when Verdun was raided by Ragnar.
The Second Battle of Aachen was a Frankish victory. Unlike the First Battle of Aachen, this battle wasn't as damaging to the city. The southern gates had to be rebuilt due to the immense amount of damage dealt by the Byzantine siege engines. The battle was seen as the entry of the Byzantine forces, though they had participated in limited numbers. With Atticus I on their side, however, the Byzantine presence in the war was much higher from then on.

I've been friends with him for about a year now. We hang out a lot in a group of friends. I think I like him, but I don't know what to do about it.
His Meyers Briggs personality type is istp, so that explains a lot about him if you look that up.
One of our mutual friends knows I like him and says I have a chance.
So advice?
Most Helpful Guy
Just sit next to him, cross one of your freshly shaved legs over his lap, put your hand on his chest, look him in the eyes and tell him you like him.
Jokes aside, just telling him face to face is the best. If you don't tell him or go after him, you have a 0% chance of a relationship. If you do tell him, worse thing possible that could happen is he doesn't feel the same and you have closure.00|00|0

Outdoor Party In Phoenix! 100+ Degrees!
Decorating By SugarMama602 Updated 31 May 2008 , 7:13pm by CeeTee
If I stiffen up the buttercream with meringue powder and cover with fondant, do you think it will be ok as long as it's not in direct sunlight??
Any and all comments are welcome!!
(There is no humidity here whatsoever.)
Sugarmama,I live in Phoenix also,and I doing a cupcake sale outside this weekend for my church and I am also worried about the heat, so does meringue stiffen buttercream without using shortning and still keep the buttercream stable but creamy in the heat? or would it be better to add meringue to a half butter and half shortning buttercream?and if so how much meringue to a batch?
I'm thinking a recipe with any butter would melt. Can an expert step in here and confirm?
My Wilton merigue gives suggestions on the side of the can, but I don't have it with me since I'm at work! I'll come back to this if no one gives you the answer before that.
When I lived in Yuma, i would add a bit of flour to the all shortening buttercream. Had a wedding at the fairgrounds with just swamp coolers and had no problems with the cake or the flowers.
Can't say I miss the heat of Yuma...still in Arizona but at 5300 feet and a LOT cooler temperatures here.....hardly ever gets to 100! DS lives in Phoenix so he is surely feeling the heat this week!
When you say a bit of flour - are you talking just a smidge? Or just enough to keep it from tasting funny?
I use an all shortening crusting BC, so your comments about the fairgroudns are encouraging!
Did you put fondant on it? Just curious....
Do you think there is any hope for a half butter and half shortning recipe on cupcakes? using all shortning leaves me alittle uneasy,knowing its a little cupcake with all that pure shortning on top.
I've actually heard that half butter is the better way to go to resist heat, but shortening has a higher melting temperature (butter is about 89-95 degrees, and shortenting is almost up to 110 degrees or so) so I tend to think that using an all shortening recipe would be best. Don't worry about the flavor, you can always fool your guests with great flavors, like 1/2 tsp. butter flavor, and 1/2 tsp. almond or vanilla. That makes excellent bc. I also found this recipe, which seems to work well in the heat: http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/ButtercreamIcing.htm
Good luck!
When I added flour, it was maybe 1/4-1/2 cup at the most. Just enough to give it some body.
That would be to a 2 lb powdered sugar-1 lb. Crisco batch.
Do you think there is any hope for a half butter and half shortning recipe on cupcakes? using all shortning leaves me alittle uneasy,knowing its a little cupcake with all that pure shortning on top.
Hi, fellow Zonie here too!
I hate shortening in icing, period. But, I have had one too many batches of pure butter icings melt on me over the past year so I know how handy it can be to have shortening around.
When I make a cake that I know is going to be outside for longer than 5 minutes, I do a half butter/half shortening icing, and use water instead of milk and add at least two tablespoons of meringue powder. It still comes out fairly tasty.
Though what really helps for me is I get gel ice packs and tape them to the lids and under the bottoms of my cake carriers. I have two coolers. One is small and fits my icing tubs and tips perfectly, the other is a large cooler to carry the actual cakes or cupcakes. If you are having an outdoor bakesale, it's best to keep the cakes in a cooler and only keep a couple of cupcakes out on the table at a time. This way you don't have to worry about them melting.

There's a lot to be afraid of in the world of horror. Vampires, werewolves, and undead monsters are just the tip of the iceberg; mad cannibalistic killers, rage churning viruses, and behemoths from the deep help keep up the mass. Talk of these things can be found throughout the internet in the vast plethora of horror discussion boards. Not yet mentioned among these fear-inducing monstrosities is one diseased abomination that always sparks up a fuss. This is one topic that consistently rears its blistered and scabbed head on every board, at least every third or fourth page, for everyone to sigh and shake their head at in exasperation as they realize this is one fear, one outrage, that seemingly will not die!
This is PG13-ification!
Fairness first; it's not true that all PG13 horror films are bad. The Ring was arguably the first film that started the U.S. Asian remake craze, and for the good reason that it actually is an extremely well executed horror film. While M. Night Shyamalan has his detractors among the horror community, few will argue that The Sixth Sense was not a powerfully done ghost story even at its teen-friendly rating of PG13. The Grudge is also spoken of with mostly a positive air, and Disturbia has found some solid support as well.
What is it then about the rest of the lot? Why are the films listed above the exception rather than the rule? The root of it is obvious, and we can all chant it together – money. The makers and distributors of films want to make money, and lots of it, and for many of them it is the making of money that is the focus and not the making of movies. It doesn't take much imagination to realize that more theater attendees will generate more cash. A lower rating, allowing more people into the theater, means a bigger bankroll. The math is simple.
While the desire to generate revenue is understandable, the end product we keep getting is not. PG13 horror films are some of the most loathed and despised of the entire industry, especially by fans of the genre. The filmmakers set out to make something clean and scary, and somehow churn out bits of dribble like The Covenant, Blood and Chocolate, or the infuriatingly bad Van Helsing. They lance and squeeze to ooze out the first Aliens vs. Predator, Skinwalkers, and horrible remakes such as The Fog. Over and over these movies come out like rabbit punches to the kidney, sent low, hard, and grabbing at your wallet like a mealy-mouthed orphan with a debt to pay. They're insipid, banal, and represent the complete dumbing-down of a story in order to appeal to what the filmmaker's think is the target audience.
This leads us to the truer cause of the badness of all of these films: the approach. If you look at the few exceptions of good PG13 films, you'll realize that all of them were made with the intent of simply creating a good scary film. If you look at the bad ones, you'll see that they were instead tailored and crafted for a specific rating. The differences in these approaches are enormous. The filmmakers who churn out so many pounds of PG13 offal are making the mistake of catering to the rating and the stereotypes behind it rather than simply trying to make a good film.
Filmmakers targeting a PG13 audience typically make the gross and fatal mistake of assuming all teenagers are stupid and small-minded, and thus they must keep the film downgraded to some basement level wit that they hope will appeal to this supposedly ignorant and pimply lot. A film like The Covenant makes the assumption that all teens must fantasize about being one of these big hunky moody guys with wow-wee powers. The fact is it would be much more fun to be an awkwardly dressed normal guy who creeps up behind one of these posturing jackasses and smacks them in the back of the head with a rock. Teens will agree with me, too. Go ahead, do some mass marketing research, and you'll find I'm right and owe me a taco for the tip.
The first rule that any filmmaker creating a PG13 movie needs to realize is this: In general, teenagers like the same things that adults do. Just because you're stripping out torture scenes and shaking boobs doesn't mean you need to turn off your brain. Make the damned thing smart, with a point, a purpose, and something to say besides "Buy Verizon". Keep it smart, and you'll actually make an impact with the younger generation and earn some good reviews, revenue, and respect to boot.
Another fatal faux pas is that teenagers do not like to be patronized by seeing actors struggle to act cool by using modern teen slang and other topical references. It is a painful thing to have to listen to teen slang drivel that was written by some gray bearded adult. Keep the dialogue organic, natural, and without strain. Never, in any circumstances, try to appeal to teens by over-using their slang or other fly-by-night fashions, or it will immediately jump-the-shark and leave you looking like a 40-year-old dancing the Macarena at her daughter's prom. It's embarrassing, and you're only going to drive the teens to drink to numb the pain of gross humiliation.
The world of the R rating has a profound advantage when it comes to horror. The genre is built around shock, and for obvious reasons most things shocking push a PG13 rating right to R. What a good PG13 horror film then needs to do is to build itself around contextual horror, a solid plot, and bits of clever humor. Keep the thing smart, don't dumb a single bit of it down, and you'll suddenly find yourself with something that both teens and adults will love in the theater. It's not impossible.
PG13-ification is a phenomenon that is here to stay. Filmmakers will continue to produce stupid films that they hope will appeal to people they assume to be stupid. The twist of the dagger is that the damned things often make money, and the filmmakers use this bank roll as some sort of twisted bit of justification for pummeling us with nonsense. What they don't realize is that they could create a PG13 horror film with greater longevity and sustain, something that could remain in the social consciousness longer than three weeks at the local mall, if they only worked to cater to the film, and not to the rating.
Editor's Note: At the time of this writing the PG13 Prom Night remake (review here) has raked in $22.7 million its opening weekend while the far superior R-rated The Ruins (review here) has made squat.

Is your baby spitting up a lot? Short answer: yes.
Madeleine had reflux. She spit up constantly, in varying amounts. She was breastfed too, and that did not improve the situation. Was it messy? Sure. Was it normal? Absolutely.
Most babies spit up, and it can last well into the 9th month and even to a year. But it's okay--once baby's digestive tract develops more completely, it should stop on its own.
Moms Expertise06/20/14
A couple of mine spit up a lot, there never seemed to be a cause that I knew of. Every baby is so different.
Aw.. I always feel bad for babes with acid reflux! Lucky for us Monroe isn't much of a spitter upper.. perhaps he knows how much of a clean freak I am? hehe JK!
My babies were never afflicted with refulx but my sisters children all had it ... it is no picnic... I feel for the children!

The development of agricultural markets in sub-Saharan Africa: the case of rice in Uganda
If agricultural markets do not work well in sub-Saharan Africa, it will be inconceivable to increase crop yields, as this requires the increased application of purchased inputs and the marketing of increased output. This study therefore investigates whether and to what extent rice markets function in Uganda, where rice is a new crop. We found that the number of rice millers has increased in response to the increase in rice production. As the number of rice millers and traders has increased, the price differentials of milled rice across wide areas have come to depend on transportation costs, which indicates the more efficient functioning of local rice markets.

Louisiana oyster farmers are concerned about the effect that importing and growing live bivalves will have on their industry. As reported by The Times-Picayune, their focus is on two problems: 1) Asian oysters (Crassostrea ariakensis) that are being seeded into the Chesapeake Bay, and 2) green mussels (Perna viridis) that were introduced by ballast water and threaten Louisiana oyster beds. If you are interested in the subject of introduced oysters, be sure to check out the book "Nonnative Oysters in the Chesapeake Bay," which is available in its entirety on the web here.

Remember Me
– to treat psychological, emotional and physical health issues
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), aka tapping, is a type of energy psychology intervention which unites Western clinical methods (exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring) with Eastern healing practices of acupressure to improve emotional and physical health.
ORIGINSTapping is one of the most popular forms of energy psychology. The modality was developed in 1995 by Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer graduate. Gary worked extensively with war veterans, finding EFT highly effective in healing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the soldiers he worked with. The Veterans Stress Project substantiated these claims in an award-winning documentary entitled Operation: Emotional Freedom, directed by Eric Huurre, showing the life stories of veterans and their families who recovered from PTSD using EFT.
HOW DOES TAPPING WORK?Tapping has been effective in treating several conditions such as depression, anxiety and phobias. There is an array of randomised controlled trials revealing the powerful effects of tapping, but the mechanism by which it works is still being explored.A good working hypothesis has been proposed by David Feinstein, PhD, co-author of Energy Medicine for Women and a clinical psychologist who served on the faculties of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Antioch College, and the California School of Professional Psychology. Feinstein says tapping works by 'bringing to mind an emotional trigger, problematic scene, or unresolved traumatic memory [that] activates the amygdala, arousing a threat response.'
Stimulating selected acupoints, according to the Harvard studies, simultaneously sends deactivating signals to the amygdala. In other words, when you expose yourself to a negative belief or traumatic memory (exposure therapy) and then practise self-acceptance (cognitive restructuring) while simultaneously tapping on acupressure points, a calming signal is sent to the brain. In the end, your brain creates new positive associations with the memory that no longer trigger the stress or anxiety response.
INTERESTING STUDIESAn interesting randomised controlled trial (RCT)1 with 83 subjects, conducted by Dawson Church, PhD, a health writer and researcher, demonstrated that an hour-long tapping session can significantly reduce cortisol levels (a stress hormone). Church and colleagues measured cortisol levels in a group that received traditional talk therapy, in another group that participated in a tapping session and in people who didn't receive any intervention. They found an average of 24% reduction in cortisol levels using EFT and some participants experienced as much as 50% reduction after a single session of tapping. Conversely, the participants who received traditional talk therapy didn't show improvements in cortisol levels and the same happened for the group that didn't receive any therapy at all. In other words, these people were just as stressed at the end of the session while those who tried tapping walked out significantly less stressed.
Lasting effectsOne of the questions asked by critics of EFT is about its lasting results. They often argue that healing of deep traumas and complex psychological and emotional issues cannot be achieved in a few sessions. Research conducted by Church 2 points to a different answer. In a recent study Church followed up with 59 PTSD veterans after three and six months of the initial intervention. The researcher found that the PTSD symptoms had not returned. Additionally, he surprisingly discovered that the patients had also experienced improvement in depression and anxiety symptoms. This research also opened up new possibilities to the energy psychology discussion, as tapping has been shown to simultaneously improve other conditions, even if those were not the primary focus of the treatment.
General safety and efficacyAnother advantage of EFT is the fact that it is considered a very safe option in the treatment of many physical and psychological conditions. For instance, Schulz3 demonstrated that survivors of childhood sexual abuse felt considerably better after EFT intervention with complete absence of abreaction (reliving the traumatic experience) during the treatment.
As substantiated in studies mentioned above, there is much evidence on the efficacy of tapping in treating severe conditions, such as PTSD, depression and childhood abuse trauma. EFT has also helped clients to manage food cravings and lose weight.4 Additionally, it can be used in pain management of fibromyalgia5 and other conditions.6 Furthermore, tapping can also be applied to enhance sports performance7 and to improve professional performance (e.g. public speaking anxiety and test anxiety).8, 9
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSIn theory, EFT can be used in any condition or situation, as it aims to clear any emotional blocks clients may have in relation to any issue that they have experienced in the past or are experiencing in their current life situation. In practice, the technique is being used to unblock limiting beliefs in relation to abundance, relationships and physical health. It has also helped heal physical ailments such as back and neck pains, chronic fatigue and many other conditions. One of my clients, after consulting many specialist doctors over the years, came to me to try and resolve issues with an overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. The client was also experiencing high levels of anxiety due to the condition. The sessions were first focused around the anxiety, which was overwhelming at the beginning of the treatment. Once the anxiety was resolved the work shifted towards a number of issues the patient was experiencing during the treatment. Then it was finally possible to focus on specific episodes when the client had negative experiences, thus emotional blocks, with the incontinence issue. After the treatment the patient experienced complete healing from the urinary incontinence and is now enjoying an anxiety-free life. A self-healing tool
Tapping is a client-centered approach that aims to alleviate the most pressing issues first, after which the focus can be shifted to more specific issues. Another advantage of this technique is that it can be taught to the clients, thus becoming a self-healing tool. This way clients can feel more empowered. The approach can be used in everyday life, for example, when feeling anxious before a job interview, clients can tap on themselves to ease the anxiety.
Releasing emotions trapped in the bodyIt is also interesting to note that the emotions that are blocked are often held in the body, thus causing discomfort and in many cases chronic pain. For instance, one of my patients came to me to resolve emotional issues around different subjects. At one of the sessions the focus was on the patient's difficult relationship with a close relative. After that specific session the patient reported having no more back pains. A few months later the client revealed that there was no need to seek monthly physiotherapy sessions, as the chronic back pain had subsided completely. He had blocks around the relationship with that family member and these emotions were being held in his back, causing chronic back pain that required monthly physiotherapy treatment. Although the client wasn't looking to alleviate his back pain, it was a pleasant surprise to find himself free from a long-term physical discomfort.
EFT AND EPIGENETICSThere is a growing field of research linking EFT's efficacy in influencing gene expression. Epigenetics is the science that studies modification of gene expression and how environment influences these changes. There is an array of studies10,11,12,13 showing the effects EFT can have on genes linked to overall health. According to Dr Bruce Lipton, a quantum biologist and proponent of EFT, thoughts and beliefs are the biggest environment for our cells. Lipton suggests that emotions can turn genes on and off (can send a signal to the genes, thus determining if these genes will be read or not). Therefore, it's imperative to clear emotional scars, traumas and limiting beliefs. EFT can correct these limitations, which will in turn regulate genetic expression. As Lipton succinctly puts it: 'The moment you change your perception is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body.'

Obama Gets Woody
Filed Under Current Events, Politics | Leave a Comment
The coveted Woody Allen endorsement goes to… Barack Obama:
US filmmaker Woody Allen, best known for such comedy classics as "Annie Hall," says it will be no laughing matter if Barack Obama fails to win the race for the White House.
"It would be a disgrace and a humiliation if Barack Obama does not win," he told Spanish journalists at the ongoing 56th San Sebastian film festival, where his latest film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is being screened.
And who knows "disgrace and humiliation" better than a guy who was bangin' his teenage step-daughter? Method actors… oye!
Another quality endorsement for Obama.
Update: If any more nut cases like this idiot join Woody and come out against conservatives, McCain and Palin are shoo-ins. Keep it up, boneheads.

She texted me saying she doesn't think she can make it out because she's still at work.

I like the page feature I have an answering service in season, cuz if'n ya miss one call or job due to not having a live person answer it can cost you alot of money. People don't like machines & it certainly is impressive when the service answers live & then they page you & you call back as soon as you are out of meeting, lunch etc.... go to nextel.com to see what info you can get they may not be in your area.

London: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting was present when New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum received a "business proposition" from ex-Black Caps star Chris Cairns, he told a London court yesterday.
Ricky Ponting
Appearing at Cairns' perjury trial via video link from Australia, Ponting, 40, said that he had been in a hotel room with McCullum in India in 2008 when the New Zealander received a phone-call from Cairns.
Ponting said that when McCullum told him it was a "business" matter, he "didn't ask any more questions".
McCullum had previously told the court that Cairns' proposition concerned spot-fixing.
Former all-rounder Cairns, one of New Zealand's greatest ever players, denies one charge of perjury and one charge of perverting the court of justice.
Ponting told Southwark Crown Court: "I was staying with Brendon in the (Kolkata Knight Riders) team hotel in Calcutta in 2008 on the eve of the first IPL (Indian Premier League) tournament.

It shall be the district's responsibility to provide a liaison to work with students who will become knowledgeable in the college's admissions criteria, academic procedures, academic regulations, and support services that apply to dual enrollment students. Further, the liaison will work with EWC college personnel with respect to student enrollment and course participation. The College's Outreach Coordinator will facilitate course registration, textbook purchases (as necessary), and serve as an exam proctor (if necessary) for the distance education classes. Typically physical space and appropriate technology is also available at the service area high schools. The Outreach Coordinator works closely with the high school principals, counselors, or other liaisons to ensure that all facets and details are handled. For students in Goshen County, registration is handled by the Torrington campus personnel.
The EWC personnel and/or Outreach Coordinators will communicate the expectations to the liaisons at the high schools.
Regular EWC policies and procedures shall apply to any conflict resolution situation. Since high school students are minors, they will be encouraged to sign an information release form so that appropriate information can be shared with parents, guardians, districts, or school administrators. College catalogs will be made available to all students which include references to college policies and practices.

Plain language is for everyone. That's the entire point.
"It's not that you should try to be not plain if you are, it's that you shouldn't try to be plain if you aren't."
Please tell me thats suposed to be ironic and hilarious. Translation?
@Chris Dean:
1. What is "R/I/B/BI"?
Context indicates: Roman, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic.
Terseness, rather than verbosity, marks, for example, a classified ad for an apartment to rent; and so in the description of a particular font, this was followed - to conserve bandwidth, and serve the primary audience.
If everything that the non-typographical reader could not immediately understand had to be spelled out in every post, that would make it cumbersome to post and so on...
Please tell me thats suposed to be ironic and hilarious. Translation?
Even if you are a technical expert, yes, you should try to be clear and understandable at all times - and to have the capacity to make yourself understandable to laypersons when appropriate.
However, pretending to be 'just plain folks' and adopting the speech of another social class is disrespectful, and can be interpreted as mockery. That could have been what he was referring to.
I know you're just acting stupid to make a point, but: be yourself; don't ask others to be yourself. Of course that's not a perfect translation. Nothing ever is. Oh and you know this supposedly simple thing they teach you called Synonym? No such thing. Language is way too powerful to be plain.
I wrote that in public, so you don't need my permission (but thanks for asking).
I really do appreciate your work at Typophile, but I do not take kindly to condescension. I prefer language that has precision, concision, clarity, and grace. But your being the Plain Language Police, or the nanny for your preferred posting language is a bit over the top. Of all the egregious errors in posting at Typophile, your singling out my post, in which I was trying to contribute to answers to your question, is misguided at best. I have no real problem with boilerplate when it is appropriate, but you use it indiscriminately. You're better than that. The issue is not just plain language, but appropriate language, something that "Plain Language" alone fails to address.
It'd be kind of coolio if there were a website such as open source typefaces or open source fonts (both of which are available as I write), which would list on going modifications of a particular typeface. In the notes the designers are given lines to explain what they see need be added etc..
And of course the website would be a go to for all open source typefaces.
Yep, domains urls. You can grab them through godaddy dot com.
...if there were a website...
This is turning into a Monty Python sketch isn't it?
Isn't it?
>This is turning into a Monty Python sketch isn't it?
Well, yes and no. They are both silly, but Monty Python was intentionally funny. This thread is ludicrous by the pretentiousness of some of the posts. Guess which ones.
To assist documentation:
"R/I/B/BI" – Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. O for Oblique may replace the I.
"SIL Open Font License" – An open-source (recognised as such by the Open Source Initiative) font licence developed by SIL (Summer Institute of Linguistics) for their own use and adopted by others.
"GPL with font exception" – The General Public License with an exception that specifically exempts (PDF) documents embedding the font(s) from the GPL.
Free – The problem with 'free' is that there are two kinds of it in English: Free beer (gratis, for free) and free speech (libre, freedom).

@Renaissance Man – There is still a lot of un- and badly-documented slang and jargon out there. Also, your infosheet was badly organised, with many assumptions. Using tags would have been more helpful, say:
Typeface: Andada
Foundry: Huerta Tipografica
License: OFL 1.1
Designer: Carolina Giovagnoli
Description: ...
Webfont URI: ...
Good tagging makes searches easier, too.
>many assumptions
What's a URI?
>Using tags would have been more helpful
Why am I being singled out? No other post in this thread uses those tags!
Yours was merely the most recent example.
URI = Uniform Resource Identifier, the New Order name for the humble URL or web link.
Chris, what's a "URL"?
Reynir, what do you mean by "documentation"?
@hrant – In myth, documentation was a process that would make things easier to use and/or understand.
What do you mean by "process"?
A series of actions that transforms an input into an output. Beyond this point, I'll have to point you towards encyclopedic sources, be they Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica or other similar sources.
Wait a second, you expect me to open a new window, and actually type something into Google?!
@Té Rowan:
URI = Uniform Resource Identifier, the New Order name for the humble URL or web link.
I was going to say...
They're very similar, and closely related, but they are not the same.
but I see that I was only half right.
A URL is still what it always was: an actual web address, the first part of which has a direct mapping to an IP address, its raw or internal form.
But there is also what I thought a URI was - an URN, or universal resource name; that follows a given site around, even as it gets hosted in different locations.
A URI can be either a URL or an URN.
This thread is ludicrous by the pretentiousness of some of the posts. Guess which ones.
But the whole I'd say most threads, especially the ones which are for the betterment of the forum(s), are most like a Kafka novel ... and in particular The Castle.
Just sayin'
@hrant – Sadly, I'm not omniscient. In particular, I did not know I looked so dreadfully boring to you lot.
Who said anything about boring?
But what do you mean by "omniscient"? Seems like a really unplain word.
Last time I checked, 'omniscient' had only one meaning: Knowing everything.
Chris Dean, I support, in general, your various posts regarding clear communication. And to everyone, don't assume you know the background or qualifications of everyone here. All are interested in type, but from different angles. They may be type designers, or students, or graphic designers or technical writers. They may be native English speakers or English may be the second or third language. So take the time to be clear, even if it means putting an explanatory phrase into your post if it is needed.

Google CALLS their collection of free web-fonts "open-source", but they don't appear to be.
The article, http://Why Google Web Fonts aren't really open source by Matthew Butterick from his website, Typography for Lawyers raises some very interesting points about Google's approach.
Crimson is a font designed by Sebastian Kosch and released under the SIL OFL:
The Arsenal free font for Cyrillic and Latin, winner of a Ukranian font competition hosted by the Mystetsky Arsenal Foundation and the Stairfors Design Studio was recently released by Andrij Shevchenko under the SIL OFL. According to Andrij in the discussion in the Release forum, giving the font away was one of the goals of the contest.
The Linux Libertine and Biolinum fonts have been released under both the SIL OFL and GNU GPL with font exception:
Cyreal hosts a number of fonts released under the SIL OFL:
Alice, designed by Ksenia Erulevich:
Wire, designed by Alexei Vanyashin and Gayaneh Bagdasaryan:
Junge, designed by Alexei Vanyashin:
Marmelad, designed by Manvel Shmavonyan:
Marko Horobchyk, designed by Zhenya Spizhovyi:
Lobster Cyrillic, an expansion of Pablo Impallari's Lobster by by Alexei Vanyashin and Gayaneh Bagdasaryan:
Volkorn by Friedrich Althausen is a nice family of four fonts which was http://originally released under a Creative Commons license but has subsequently been http://updated and released under the SIL OFL.
This is a good example of how important it is to try and trace the source of a given font to the original designer and check the application of a particular license as there are significant differences between the freedoms afforded by these two different licenses.
The Guidebook section of the Open Font Library site has a good overview of and links to information about various open source and free software licenses.
J. Tillman: > You left out styles, designer, language support, description."Take the time to be clear ... putting an explanatory phrase into your post if it is needed." What's a FAQ?
Chris: >"So far we have...": You left out Andada
To all those joining the "clear, plain, explanatory" Police: Oh ye of so little humor. You're all missing hrants point: He's mocking you!
If every post had every word, term, and fact spelled out in excruciating detail, each post would be longer than most threads, and we'd have little time left to do anything else. Instead of stooping to the lowest common denominator and assuming ignorance on a massive scale, let's give some credit to the Typophile audience. BTW (that's by the way) I'm ticked off by the hypocrisy of the Police: most don't even follow their own guidelines for clarity, detail, or organization. Glass houses, indeed!
How did a thread about "Open source typefaces" get to be about "plain language? Oh, yes, Chris started both. It would be nice it we stayed on topic. In General Discussions, "Anything goes." I thought that meant any topic was fair game for a thread, not that everything but the kitchen sink was OK within a thread.
Volkorn has no kerning table. No, I'm not going to explain that.
So for most of us, these are the three basic goals:
- stay alive
- have kids
- keep them alive
... in other words, quantity over quality.
So, suddenly a list of fonts starts to form.
My 2 cents: Unless a font being «Open Source» is your only criterion for choosing a font, such a list isn't very useful.
And I'm still wondering about «Open Source typefaces», that term doesn't make sense to me. What's the source of a typeface? The type designer's head? hand?
Robert, if you're assuming ignorance on a massive scale for your kids, please don't have any.
And I'm still wondering about «Open Source typefaces», that term doesn't make sense to me.
It would perhaps be more accurate to describe them as fonts released under an open source license, as much as you might describe fonts released by a major foundry as released under a commercial license.
Raph Levien has a couple, in particular Century Catalogue and Inconsolata.
The M+ series have the following, extremely simple, licence:
These fonts are free software. Unlimited permission is granted to use, copy, and distribute it, with or without modification, either commercially and noncommercially. THESE FONTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY.
Old Standard seems to be released under the SIL OFL.
So is Cardo.
RibengUni, designed by Bivuti Chakma and Jyoti Chakma with assistance from Jan Żurawski is a recently released font that supports the Chakma script. It is licensed under the SIL OFL and uses Paul Hunt's Source Sans Pro (Regular) as the basis for its Latin component.
How does 'open source' differ from 'public domain', where permission is explicitly granted to modify, re-publish, etc.?
How does 'open source' differ from 'public domain'
In my experience through the presence of an explicit license. Where I have seen fonts "released" into the public domain they are accompanied by a statement which makes that clear without imposing any kind of license. For example, Barry Schwartz's Goudy Bookletter 1911:
Clicking on the "Public Domain" link on that page takes you to the Wikipedia entry for public domain.
It would perhaps be more accurate to describe them as fonts released under an open source license, as much as you might describe fonts released by a major foundry as released under a commercial license.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, my confusion arose from the terms «Open source font» vs. «Open source typeface», as both were used in this thread, and my impression was that they were used to mean different things.
Open source fonts are easy to define for me, the source being a FontLab VFB file or FontForge or UFO file, and being made available together with the fonts under an Open Source licence.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, my confusion arose from the terms «Open source font» vs. «Open source typeface», as both were used in this thread, and my impression was that they were used to mean different things.
I am pretty sure that it comes down to them being used interchangeably as opposed to referring to different things, at least in the context of this thread but detailed re-reading may prove otherwise.
For my part I have been referring to fonts licensed under a specific open source license, as per your definition, sorry if I have added to the confusion by using the terms interchangeably. In some cases it may be the intention from the initiation of a concept, through the drawing of letters to engineering and distribution to consider the typeface as "open source" in whatever sense people choose to interpret that and the more philosophical debates at the beginning of the thread are certainly more along those lines, but as Chris was asking for a list (and as this is something I would find useful as well) that is what I have focused on.
Open Source and Public Domain are legal intellectual property right concepts. Whether it's type or not is somewhat irrelevant.
My (limited) understanding of Public Domain is that it can get messy due to how it's defined from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Open Source has one advantage over Public Domain in that (ideally) there is a clear license attached.
So, an OS product's use is dictated by its included license. A PD product's use is dictated by the laws in the jurisdiction the product belongs to.
At least in the US, if a property is public domain, you can take it and do whatever you want with it...give it away, resell it, redesign it, whatever.
Most open source licenses, however, (in the context of software) have a clause that any derivative software you make with it will need to retain the same open source license (either as a whole, meaning your entire product also needs to be open source, or as a noted credit for portion for your product, even if your bigger product uses a different license).
So, with type, I think one distinction could be that with a public domain typeface, I could take it, modify it, and sell it. With an open source typeface, I could take it, modify it, but would need to redistribute it with the same license as the original.
(Though the details all come down to the wording of the actual license, of course)
