eSafety Policy
New technologies have become integral to the lives of children and young people in today's society, both within schools and in their lives outside school.
The internet and other digital and information technologies are powerful tools, which open up new opportunities for everyone. Electronic communication helps teachers and pupils learn from each other. These technologies can stimulate discussion, promote creativity and increase awareness of context to promote effective learning. Children and young people should have an entitlement to safe internet access at all times.
The requirement to ensure that children and young people are able to use the internet and related communications technologies appropriately and safely is addressed as part of the wider duty of care to which all who work in schools are bound. The school e-safety policy will help to ensure safe and appropriate use. The development and implementation of the policy will involve all the stakeholders in a child's education from the Headteacher and governors to the senior leaders and classroom teachers, support staff, parents, members of the community and the pupils themselves.
The use of these exciting and innovative tools in school and at home has been shown to raise educational standards and promote pupil achievement.
However, the use of these new technologies can put young people at risk within and outside the school. Some of the dangers they may face include:
- Access to illegal, harmful or inappropriate images or other content
- Unauthorised access to / loss of / sharing of personal information
- The risk of being subject to grooming by those with whom they make contact on the internet
- The sharing / distribution of personal images without an individual's consent or knowledge
- Inappropriate communication / contact with others, including strangers
- Cyber-bullying
- Access to unsuitable video / internet games
- An inability to evaluate the quality, accuracy and relevance of information on the internet
- Plagiarism and copyright infringement
- Illegal downloading of music or video files
- The potential for excessive use, which may affect the social and emotional development and learning of the young person
Many of these risks reflect situations in the off-line world and it is essential that this e-safety policy is used in conjunction with other school policies (eg behaviour, anti-bullying and child protection policies).
As with all other risks, it is impossible to eliminate those risks. It is therefore essential, through good educational provision to build pupils' resilience to the risks to which they may be exposed, so that they have the confidence and skills to face and deal with these risks.
The school will demonstrate that it has provided the necessary safeguards to help ensure that we have done everything that could reasonably be expected, to manage and reduce these risks. The e-safety policy that follows explains how we intend to do this, while also addressing wider educational issues in order to help young people (and their parents / carers) to be responsible users and stay safe while using the internet and other communications technologies for educational, personal and recreational use.
Schedule for Development / Monitoring / Review
|This e-safety policy was approved by the Governing Body
|The implementation of this e-safety policy will be monitored by :
|Mrs C Pye
|Monitoring will take place at regular intervals:
|Safeguarding Governors
|The Governing Body / Governors Sub Committee will receive a report on the implementation of the e-safety policy generated by the monitoring group (which will include anonymous details of e-safety incidents) at regular intervals:
|The E-Safety Policy will be reviewed annually, or more regularly in the light of any significant new developments in the use of the technologies, new threats to e-safety or incidents that have taken place. The next anticipated review date will be:
|Should serious e-safety incidents take place, the following external persons / agencies should be informed:
|Lancashire Safeguarding Children BoardTim Booth (LADO) (01772) 536694 firstname.lastname@example.com Schools' eSafetyLead Officer Mr Graham Lowe eSafetyContact (TBC) (01257 516360) email@example.com
This policy applies to all members of the school community (including staff, pupils, governors, volunteers, parents / carers, visitors, community users) who have access to and are users of school ICT systems, both in and out of school.
The Education and Inspections Act 2006 empowers Headteachers, to such extent as is reasonable, to regulate the behaviour of pupils when they are off the school site and empowers members of staff to impose disciplinary penalties for inappropriate behaviour. This is pertinent to incidents of cyber bullying, or other e-safety incidents covered by this policy, which may take place out of school, but is linked to membership of the school.
The school will deal with such incidents within this policy and associated behaviour and anti-bullying policies and will, where known, inform parents / carers of incidents of inappropriate e-safety behaviour that take place out of school.
Roles and Responsibilities
The following section outlines the roles and responsibilities for e-safety of individuals and groups within the school:
Governors are responsible for the approval of the E-Safety Policy and for reviewing the effectiveness of the policy. This will be carried out by the Governors receiving regular information about e-safety incidents and monitoring reports as part of Headteacher's termly report.

Parents / Carers
Parents / Carers play a crucial role in ensuring that their children understand the need to use the internet / mobile devices in an appropriate way. Research shows that many parents and carers do not fully understand the issues and are less experienced in the use of ICT than their children are. The school will therefore take every opportunity to help parents understand these issues through parents' evenings, newsletters, letters, website / VLE and information about national / local e-safety campaigns / literature.
Parents and carers will be responsible for:
- Endorsing (by signature) the Pupil Acceptable Use Policy
Policy Statements
Education – Pupils
Whilst regulation and technical solutions are very important, their use must be balanced by educating pupils to take a responsible approach. The education of pupils in e-safety is therefore an essential part of the school's e-safety provision. Children and young people need the help and support of the school to recognise and avoid e-safety risks and build their resilience.
E-Safety education will be provided in the following ways:
- A planned e-safety programme should be provided as part of ICT / PHSE / other lessons and should be regularly revisited – this will cover both the use of ICT and new technologies in school and outside school
- Key e-safety messages should be reinforced as part of a planned programme of assemblies
- Pupils should be taught in all lessons to be critically aware of the materials / content they access on-line and be guided to validate the accuracy of information
- Pupils should be helped to understand the need for the pupil (acceptable use policy) AUP and encouraged to adopt safe and responsible use of ICT, the internet and mobile devices both within and outside school
- Pupils should be taught to acknowledge the source of information used and to respect copyright when using material accessed on the internet
- Rules for use of ICT systems / internet will be posted in all room
Education – Parents / Carers
Many parents and carers have only a limited understanding of e-safety risks and issues, yet they play an essential role in the education of their children and in the monitoring / regulation of the children's on-line experiences. Parents often either underestimate or do not realise how often children and young people come across potentially harmful and inappropriate material on the internet and are often unsure about what they would do about it. "There is a generational digital divide". (Byron Report).
The school will therefore seek to provide information and awareness to parents and carers through:
- Letters, newsletters, web site, VLE
- Parents' evenings
Education & Training – Staff
It is essential that all staff receive e-safety training and understand their responsibilities, as outlined in this policy. Training will be offered as follows:
- E-safety training will be made available to staff.
- All new staff should receive e-safety training as part of their induction programme, ensuring that they fully understand the school e-safety policy and Acceptable Use Policies
- The E-Safety Designated person will receive regular updates through attendance at LGfL / LA / other information / training sessions and by reviewing guidance documents released by LGfL / LA and others.
- This E-Safety policy and its updates will be presented to and discussed by staff in staff meetings / INSET days.
- The E-Safety Designated person will provide advice / guidance / training to individuals as required
Training – Governors
Governors should take part in e-safety training / awareness sessions, with particular importance for those who are members of any subcommittee / group involved in ICT / e-safety / health and safety / child protection. This may be offered in a number of ways:
- Attendance at training provided by the Local Authority / National Governors Association / LGfL or other relevant organisation.
- Participation in school training / information sessions for staff or parents
Technical – infrastructure / equipment, filtering and monitoring
The school will be responsible for ensuring that the school infrastructure / network is as safe and secure as is reasonably possible and that policies and procedures approved within this policy are implemented. It will also need to ensure that the relevant people named in the above sections will be effective in carrying out their e-safety responsibilities:
- School ICT systems will be managed in ways that ensure that the school meets the e-safety technical requirements outlined in the LGfL Security Policy and Acceptable Usage Policy and any relevant Local Authority E-Safety Policy and guidance
- There will be regular reviews and audits of the safety and security of school ICT systems
- Servers, wireless systems and cabling must be securely located and physical access restricted
- All users will have clearly defined access rights to school ICT systems. Details of the access rights available to groups of users will be recorded by the Technicians
- All users will be provided with a username and password by (Technicians) who will keep an up to date record of users and their usernames.
- The "master / administrator" passwords for the school ICT system, used by the Technicians must also be available to the Headteacher and e-Safety Designated person (eg school safe)
- Users will be made responsible for the security of their username and password. They must not allow other users to access the systems using their log on details and must immediately report any suspicion or evidence that there has been a breach of security.
- The school maintains and supports the managed filtering service provided by LGfL
- In the event of the Technicians needing to switch off the filtering for any reason, or for any user, this must be logged and carried out by a process that is agreed by the Headteacher and/or the e-Safety Designated person.
- Any filtering issues should be reported immediately to LGfL.
- Requests from staff for sites to be removed from the filtered list will be considered by the Technicians and e-Safety Designated person. If the request is agreed, the IT technician will add the entry to MyLGFL filtering system as an Allowed Site.
- School ICT technical staff regularly monitor and record the activity of users on the school ICT systems and users are made aware of this in the Acceptable Use Policy.
- An appropriate system is in place for users to report any actual / potential e-safety incident.
- Appropriate security measures are in place to protect the servers, firewalls, routers, wireless systems, workstations, hand held devices etc from accidental or malicious attempts, which might threaten the security of the school systems and data.
- An agreed policy is in place for the provision of temporary access of "guests" (eg trainee teachers, visitors) onto the school system.
- An agreed policy is in place that restricts staff from installing programmes on school workstations / portable devices.
- The school infrastructure and individual workstations are protected by up to date virus software.
- Personal data cannot be sent over the internet or taken off the school site unless safely encrypted or otherwise secured.
E-safety should be a focus in all areas of the curriculum and staff should reinforce e-safety messages in the use of ICT across the curriculum.
In lessons where internet use is pre-planned, it is best practice that pupils should be guided to sites checked as suitable for their use and that processes are in place for dealing with any unsuitable material that is found in internet searches.
Where pupils are allowed to search freely the internet, eg using search engines, staff should be vigilant in monitoring the content of the websites the young people visit.
It is accepted that from time to time, for good educational reasons, pupils may need to research topics (e.g. racism, drugs, discrimination) that would normally result in internet searches being blocked. In such a situation, staff can request that the Technicians and the e-Safety Designated person can temporarily remove those sites from the filtered list for the period of study. Any request to do so, should be auditable, with clear reasons for the need.
Pupils should be taught in all lessons to be critically aware of the materials / content they access on-line and be guided to validate the accuracy of information
Pupils should be taught to acknowledge the source of information used and to respect copyright when using material accessed on the internet.
Use of digital and video images – Photographic, Video
The development of digital imaging technologies has created significant benefits to learning, allowing staff and pupils instant use of images that they have recorded themselves or downloaded from the internet. However, staff and pupils need to be aware of the risks associated with sharing images and with posting digital images on the internet. Those images may remain available on the internet forever and may cause harm or embarrassment to individuals in the short or longer term. There are many reported incidents of employers carrying out internet searches for information about potential and existing employees. The school will inform and educate users about these risks and will implement policies to reduce the likelihood of the potential for harm:
- When using digital images, staff should inform and educate pupils about the risks associated with the taking, use, sharing, publication and distribution of images. In particular they should recognise the risks attached to publishing their own images on the internet eg on social networking sites.
- Staff are allowed to take digital / video images to support educational aims, but must follow school policies concerning the sharing, distribution and publication of those images. Those images should only be taken on school equipment; the personal equipment of staff should not be used for such purposes.
- Care should be taken when taking digital / video images that pupils are appropriately dressed and are not participating in activities that might bring the individuals or the school into disrepute.
- Pupils must not take, use, share, publish or distribute images of others without their permission
- Photographs published on the website, or elsewhere that include pupils will be selected carefully and will comply with good practice guidance on the use of such images.
- Pupils' full names will not be used anywhere on a website or blog, particularly in association with photographs.
- Parents or carers will have the option to opt out of any photographs of pupils are used for educational or marketing purposes.
Data Protection
Personal data will be recorded, processed, transferred and made available according to the Data Protection Act 1998, which states that personal data must be:
- Fairly and lawfully processed
- Processed for limited purposes
- Adequate, relevant and not excessive
- Accurate
- Kept no longer than is necessary
- Processed in accordance with the data subject's rights
- Secure
- Only transferred to others with adequate protection
Staff must ensure that they:
- At all times, take care to ensure the safekeeping of personal data, minimising the risk of its loss or misuse.
- Use personal data only on secure password protected computers and other devices, ensuring that they are properly "logged-off" at the end of any session in which they are using personal data.
- Transfer data using encryption and secure password protected devices.
- When personal data is stored on any portable computer system, USB stick or any other removable media:
- The data must be encrypted and password protected
- The device must be password protected
- The data must be securely deleted from the device, in line with school policy once it has been transferred or its use is complete
- The device must offer approved virus and malware checking software
When using communication technologies the school considers the following as good practice:
- The official school email service may be regarded as safe and secure and is monitored. Staff and pupils should therefore use only the school email service to communicate with others when in school, or on school systems (eg by remote access).
- Users must immediately report, to the e-Safety the receipt of any email that makes them feel uncomfortable, is offensive, threatening or bullying in nature and must not respond to any such email.
- Any digital communication between staff and pupils or parents / carers (email, chat, VLE etc) must be professional in tone and content. These communications may only take place on official school systems. Personal email addresses, text messaging or public chat / social networking programmes must not be used for these communications.
- Pupils should be taught about email safety issues, such as the risks attached to the use of personal details. They should also be taught strategies to deal with inappropriate emails and be reminded of the need to write emails clearly and correctly and not include any unsuitable or abusive material.
- Personal information should not be posted on the school website and only official email addresses should be used to identify members of staff.
Responding to incidents of misuse
It is hoped that all members of the school community will be responsible users of ICT, who understand and follow this policy. However, there may be times when infringements of the policy could take place, through careless or irresponsible or, very rarely, through deliberate misuse. Listed below are the responses that will be made to any apparent or actual incidents of misuse:
If any apparent or actual misuse appears to involve illegal activity i.e.:
- Child sexual abuse images
- Adult material, which potentially breaches the Obscene Publications Act
- Criminally racist material
- Other criminal conduct, activity or materials
The LGfL flow chart – should be consulted and actions followed in line with the flow chart, in particular the sections on reporting the incident to the police and the preservation of evidence.
You will find a wealth of useful information on the Lancashire National Grid for Learning (lancsngfl) website.

First, I spent a little time coloring in a sheet, trying to get just the right color combo and then moved on to fabric selection. The purple one really was challenging for me and not sure I got the best color combo on it as I struggled with the light and dark areas on it.
I colored it in darker in the middle but then switched it to the lighter area, still not sure which would have been the better choice.
All the pieces are made and its time to see how they'll look arranged correctly.
The orange one is my favorite --- even though yellow is my favorite color. I am finding I don't usually like the red in the low volume fabrics as they like to steal the show but I think it works here as it looks like flowers growing amongst the tulips in the garden. When I started piecing it all together I noticed I forgot one piece in one of the yellow tulip sections.
At first I didn't notice it and sewed it in place and realized it needed corrected. Almost decided not to fix it but I love the extra piece in it and am glad I took the time to redo it. Plus since I added a piece of fabric that is in the second yellow tulip it adds cohesiveness to the two yellow tulips.
I have to say this one turned out stunningly beautiful!
Thanks so much Janeen for another fabulous pattern to work with this month. You can join this BOM anytime. Each month the featured block is a free pattern during that month and past patterns can be bought in her craftsy shop for a small fee plus she now offers a Digital online magazine called Paper Piecing 1/4" featuring some of her other fabulous patterns and other artists great designs, too.

ETH Bibliographyyes
There is growing evidence that children's poor health can affect mothers' labor market outcomes, however, most of the literature on children's health has focused on disability or general health status. This study focuses on one of the leading chronic diseases in children, asthma, and it investigates (i) the effects of having an asthmatic child on mothers' labor supply and wages; (ii) whether there are age-specific differences on the effects of child health on mothers' labor market outcomes, and (iii) whether the effects differ between single mothers and mothers with partners. This study uses the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey for U.S. households with children 0-17 years old from 1996 to 2002, and controls for mothers' unobserved heterogeneity and sample selectivity. The results suggest that the effects differ by the age group of the ill child, and between single mothers and mothers with partners. In particular, single mothers, and mothers with asthmatic preschool children or asthmatic adolescents are the most affected groups Show more

When North Carolina residents suffer injuries, they expect to receive top-notch treatment from their local doctor or hospital. However, some medical professionals fail to recognize the risks involved when they don't act quickly enough to remedy a person's medical situation. Two doctors are now paying the price for their negligence -- to the tune of $4.5 million -- after a woman died while under their care.
The victim's family filed a medical malpractice lawsuit, claiming negligence on behalf of the doctors. The trial lasted two weeks and even though the patient prevailed, Massachusetts General Hospital believes that the doctors acted appropriately in the situation. Both are still employed by the hospital.
In March 2005, the 62-year-old woman fell off a ladder while cleaning her home. She was taken to a local hospital, where a scan of her chest and pelvis was performed. It was found that she had broken three ribs. The tip of one of the broken ribs was next to her aorta.
The woman was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital and while doctors assessed her condition, no immediate surgery or imaging was done. Instead, doctors waited until the next day for an X-ray. Meanwhile, the woman began to develop a cough, which caused the broken rib to puncture her aorta.
The woman went into cardiac arrest and while doctors attempted life-saving measures, she was unresponsive. She died less than 20 minutes later.
Delaying medical treatment was a fatal mistake for the doctors. With a puncture likely, medical staff should have stepped in immediately to prevent injury to the aorta -- the body's largest artery. Now a woman is dead due to the doctors' negligence, but at least the family may be able to move on now after holding the two doctors responsible for their loved one's death.

One Rank One Pension
- One Rank One Pension (OROP) is a longstanding demand of Indian veterans and armed forces—to have their pensions revised to an equal scale among all servicemen from one rank, irrespective of when they retired.
- OROP was first provoked by a unilateral decision made by Indian National Congress government in 1973, just two years after Bangladesh War of 1971.
- The main aim of this plan was to decrease the pension of armed forces by 20% to 40% and increase than of civilian pensions by 20%.
- Theprovocation was brought in without consulting the headquarters of armed forces.
- Between 2008 and 2014, complaints by armed forces personnel OROP a powerful rallying call. It was used for resonating with veterans of different ranks.
- Against this background of perceived discrimination and dismissive government response, the armed forces veterans started a campaign in 2008.
- The campaigns comprised public protests nationwide, and hunger strikes.
- To respond to the OROP protests, in 2011 the UPA government appointed parliamentary committee, which found merit in veterans demand for the OROP.
Revised Pensions under OROP
- When the first OROP came into existence, the amount allotted for the ex-servicemen were a mere amount of 500 crore.
- This was proven to be inadequate for the entire sector of ex-servicemen, under the One Rank One Pension plan. The sum was increased to 1000 crore.
- Later, in the year 2015, PM Narendra Modi revised the amount to 5500 crore, and kept his promise in 2016.

Zimling: 'The first half was exceptional'
Munich - It may have ultimately been a disappointing trip to the Allianz Arena for 1. FSV Mainz 05, as they were humbled 4-1 by reigning champions FC Bayern München, but midfielder Niki Zimling wasn't despairing.
bundesliga.com spoke to the Dane after the game and found out what he had to say about Bayern, Braunschweig next week, and Mainz's current form.
bundesliga.com: How would you sum up Mainz's efforts against Bayern?
Niki Zimling: We played a very good first half, created some big chances and coverted one. I think the first half was exceptional. In the second, they put us under pressure, changed the way they played a little bit and got some goals, but I think it was a good effort by us to try and get something from the game.
bundesliga.com: What was the atmosphere like in the dressing room after going into the break a goal up? Were you surprised to be ahead at that stage?
Zimling: No, not really. The coach told us to keep being aggressive and to keep going, but it was a tough game. After an hour, you could see our players were tired, but that's normal when you play the best team in Europe and it's tough to stop them from creating chances. Overall, I think we did a good job.
bundesliga.com: Despite an ultimately heavy defeat, what are the positives Mainz can take out of the game?
Zimling: There are a lot of things to take with us. We had some corners during the game that, with a bit of luck, could have resulted in goals. Unfortunately for us, that didn't happen, they scored their third goal and the game was finished.
bundesliga.com: Mainz have only picked up one point in the league since Matchday 3. Is confidence an issue at all?
Zimling: I don't think so. The Bayern game showed that everyone gives 100 per cent, that they're concentrated and disciplined. I think that's what we need to pick up more points and improve the team.
bundesliga.com: You play Eintracht Braunschweig next. How important is it that Mainz get all three points from that match?
Zimling: It's a big game for us against the new team in the Bundesliga. Like any game, it's important we do our best to try and win it.
bundesliga.com: Does it take on added significance, though, considering your current form?
Zimling: I wouldn't say it's a six-pointer or anything, but it's a game we'd give everything to win. Braunschweig almost picked up a very good result against Schalke, but it's a game like any other really. It'll be a tough game, but we're at home, so we should win. I think we will.

Organic Gardening:
Bark As a Potting Soil Amendment and Mulch
by John Yazo
Bark mulch is becoming more commonly used as a potting mulch. It can be used as a potting soil amendment to increase the drainage along with adding airspace in soil mixtures and serves as an excellent organic mulch for your landscape or garden needs.
The use of bark as a soil amendment is best used when plants are mature and don't require a lot of water retention in the soil. There are two basic types of bark mulch that are most commonly used in mulch, shredded and chunk. Shredded bark mulch is much finer than chunk mulch and decomposes easier. Chunk bark mulch is a lot larger and serves better as an aeration aid to soil mixes. The use of bark mulch in a soil mix that is going to be used for starting seeds could cause the soil not to retain enough moisture, needed for the seeds to germinate. There is a propagation bark that is specially designed for an amendment for potting soil mixes.
Propagation bark is a fine, mature bark that is designed to be used in potting soil mixes along with peat or other suitable alternatives like coir. It is made specifically for the propagation of plants and is usually mixed at a ratio of twenty five percent of the potting soil mix.
There is a large variety of potting soil mixes that can be purchased at most local garden centers. The ingredients of potting soil mixes are designed for a variety of different types of plants and can be either soil mix or a soil-less mix.
When choosing potting soil mix you should take the time to carefully read the labels to make sure it meets the needs of the plants that you are growing.
An environment friendly and healthy way of gardening, organic gardening is away of gardening in harmony with nature, growing a healthy and productive crop in a way that is healthier for both you and the environment.

Love Coffee? Find Out How To Choose The Best Coffee
There's nothing better than great coffee. There are so many different options available that simply choosing a good coffee can end up becoming overwhelming. The available flavors and varieties are endless, and the choices at cafes are numerous. This article will help to sort all things coffee out for you.
Quality often costs more when it comes to the best coffee beans. Investing in a good machine and fresh beans will give you the best results. The tendency to cut costs can leave you with a less than satisfying cup of coffee.
If sugar is an issue, use Stevia instead. Stevia comes from plants and is a natural sweetener that sweetens your beverage without glucose or excess calories. You can find this product in your local health food store.
Stir the coffee in the pot immediately after brewing it. To bring out the aroma and flavor of your coffee, stir it briefly. The coffee will be served with a more robust and richer taste.
If your coffee machine is a bit outdated, this trick will more than make up for it. Before you start to brew coffee, simply brew a whole pot of water. Once the water is hot, add your grounds and pour the water back through the machine. This makes the hottest and tastiest coffee you can get.
Leftover coffee should never be saved for later and reheated. Just buy yourself a mug that will stay hot for a long time. If that's not possible, you can brew another pot for better taste.
Coffee Beans
Freshly roasted beans make the best coffee. Buyers of whole coffee beans should find out when the beans were roasted by checking their expiration date. Rather than purchasing coffee beans at a grocery store, consider a coffee shop or other specialty store.
Avoid storing your coffee near the oven or any other heat source. If you coffee is stored near a heat source, it can lose its flavor. Steer clear of counter tops and cabinets, even if it is above the oven itself.
Think ahead about how many cups of coffee you need before you determine the balance of water and beans. Traditional coffee cups can hold around six ounces and a measuring cup can hold eight. The ideal mix is water, six ounces, and coffee, two tablespoons. Your brew will be watered down if you use a measuring cup.
Coffee that is fair trade is a great way to benefit the planet. This is expensive but has a much higher quality for you to serve to your family. There's the added benefit of making a positive difference in the lives of small farmers in developing countries all over the world.
As mentioned, the options you have with coffee are many. The number of choices you will face when buying coffee from a coffee shop or grocery store is substantial. This article should have made everything a little easier for you.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Reorganising the investment bank at UBS will take two to three years to complete, its chairman said on Sunday, a day after Chief Executive Oswald Gruebel quit over the $2.3 billion rogue trading scandal.
The UBS board on Saturday accepted the resignation of its 67-year-old German-born chief executive and appointed as his interim replacement Sergio Ermotti, 51, who hails from Switzerland's Italian-speaking region of Ticino.
The board is looking at both internal and external candidates to fill the post permanently and Chairman Kaspar Villiger has said ex-Bundesbank head Axel Weber has already been involved in the CEO selection process as an independent advisor.
But Weber is still not due to take over as UBS's chairman until 2013, Villiger said.
Switzerland's biggest bank has asked the dapper, multi-lingual Ermotti, who was passed over for the CEO job at Italy's UniCredit, to speed up a scaling back of the investment bank.
"Revamping the bank will probably take the next two or three years until it's all completed," Villiger told the NZZ am Sonntag.
He also said that Ermotti, who joined UBS in April as head of Europe, Middle East and Africa, and has worked in London and New York, is a strong candidate to remain as CEO.
"He has lots of experience and brings a lot of what's needed to run the bank. I also think it's good that he's Swiss," Villiger said.
With the Swiss public losing its patience with UBS after a series of crippling crises, Ermotti's nationality may give him an edge over competitors and help him deal with politicians and regulators.
"He's a professional, open to the bureaucrats and Swiss concerns, but beyond any patronage," Der Sonntag quoted the Swiss financier Tito Tettamanti as saying.
Meanwhile Villiger, a former Swiss finance minister who also faced calls to resign over the scandal, said in a conference call with reporters on Saturday that the bank was sticking to plans for Weber to join the board next year and take over as chairman in 2013.
He reiterated that point on Sunday.
"It's not optimal for the president and the chief executive to step down at the same time. This way Axel Weber has the chance to get up to speed, Villiger told the NZZ.
"He'll also live in Switzerland and get to know the Helvetic characteristics. We see no reason to change this plan."
Gruebel, a banking industry veteran who helped turn around UBS's rival Credit Suisse, was brought out of retirement to revamp UBS after it almost collapsed in 2008 under the weight of more than $50 billion lost on toxic assets.
In a memo to staff Gruebel said the trading loss had shocked him deeply and that it was in the bank's interest to move ahead with someone new at the helm. Villiger said he had asked Gruebel to stay.
Gruebel initially wanted to stay on and decided to make his exit only in the course of board meetings in Singapore, when he realized some board members no longer backed him, the German-language SonntagsZeitung said, citing UBS insiders.
Opposition to Gruebel's strategy of a banking group focusing both on wealth management and investment banking had been rising in recent months, the newspaper said.
The Swiss parliament also looks set to enact new capital adequacy standards for big banks that go beyond the Basel III rules, and Gruebel made sharp criticisms of the plan earlier this year. UBS has said it will not pay a dividend as it seeks to shore up capital to comply with the new rules
Ermotti said on Saturday UBS will use its investment bank to service its private banking clients, scaling back but not exiting the fixed income business.
"Without restructuring, over half of UBS's capital base will be tied up in fixed income when investors want to buy a fabulous Swiss asset and wealth manager with a profitable but materially smaller brokerage operation," said Morgan Stanley analyst Huw van Steenis, adding UBS should refocus on areas such as equities and M&A.
Gruebel's decision to step down following the $2.3 billion loss was also welcomed by several Swiss politicians on Sunday and the center-left Social Democrats (SP) last week pushed for a ban on risky investment banking during a parliamentary session debating the 'Too Big To Fail' higher bank capital requirements.
The trading scandal showed risk controls were inadequate, and Gruebel's stepping down was a first step forward, prominent SP-member Susanne Leutenegger Oberholzer told local agency AWP.
For Pirmin Bischof of the center-right Christian Democrats, Gruebel's resignation and Ermotti's promotion meant UBS was keen to steer a new course.
"Gruebel couldn't identify with the 'Too Big To Fail' package," AWP quoted Bischof as saying, adding that Gruebel could sense the times were changing. "And for this new epoch he wasn't the right figure head."

so the other night my girlfriend, jess, mentioned something about me brainwashing people. hail was walking by and said, "she brainwashed me."
me: no, i didn't. i gave you the information and then you made your own choices. i have always let you make your own choices and you know it. would you rather be like everyone else? (insert my getting defensive tone)
h: no, but you did shelter me.
me: HOW???
h: mom, i have never even had lucky charms!
me: but you have had frosted flakes and cocoa pebbles.
h: but mom, the other night john was going on and on about lucky charms and i had to admit that i had never tasted them. even john has tasted lucky charms and john has never been to school and his mom is a hippie! i am 18 years old and i have never even tasted lucky charms because you wouldn't buy them. and what about the night i was at mike's house and he asked me if i wanted a hot pocket. i didn't know what a hot pocket was. you know how embarrassing that is?
syd: what's a hot pocket?
hailey has grown up in protests and rallies and hanging with my friends and going to fest. she has traveled the country with me and spent her childhood hanging out with musicians, artists and assorted freaks. she has been taught that she controls her sexuality. she has had boyfriends and girlfriends and both at the same time. she has had her hair every color you can think of and has always been allowed to paint and write on her walls. she has not had a bedtime since she was 8 and never been forced to eat food she didn't like. she has read bust and bitch since she was 13...and she is sheltered.
when i pointed this all out she did admit that people are fascinated by the life she has led in her 18 short years. she admitted that she has lived more and done more than anyone she knows, but she thinks she would like to try some lucky charms.
i wonder if she is ready for them. i wonder if she is mature enough to handle the lucky charms and not get sucked into the corporate brainwashing they are sure invoke. will she be able to handle the sugar high? it is so hard to just let go and trust our children.
my little girl is growing up.
being a parent is so complicated.
my kids are insane.
hailey is getting a box of lucky charms for solstice.

You might get too difficult science homework to deal with. If you don't know how to respond to this because you aren't sure whether you'll be able to solve it in time, you should find somebody to help you. Fortunately, there are plenty of good and reliable sources that you may ask for advice and assistance.
Local Sources to Help Me with My Homework
- Your classmates.
- Study groups.
- Tutors.
To improve the efficiency of your work, you may invite several classmates to do home assignments together. It's likely that in a group, you'll be able to do your tasks faster. Moreover, you'll be less likely to make any errors in your calculations if you check each other's solutions.
Your school might hold study groups after lessons during which several students may deal with their home tasks in one room under the supervision of a teacher. In such an atmosphere, nothing should distract you from your work which might positively affect your working capacity. Moreover, you'll be able to consult your teacher-supervisor if something is unclear to you.
If you struggle with particular types of homework, you may hire tutors to give you additional lessons in the problematic subjects. They should also spend some time helping you with your actual school assignments.
Looking for a Homework Helper Online
- Read online educational materials.
- Go to student forums.
- Hire online tutors.
In order to improve your understanding of particular concepts that are unclear to you, you may read well-written articles about them on the Internet. On the web, you may also find examples of how to solve the types of tasks you have problems with.
If you have plenty of questions related to your homework, you may get registered on a large student forum and post them there. It's likely that the experienced forum members will provide you with good answers to your questions.
If you cannot find decent tutors in your local area, you may hire the ones who work online. The effectiveness of this option might be slightly lower but online lessons should also cost you less money.
Who Can Do My Homework Instead of Me?
If you don't have the time for consultations and advice, you may ask somebody else to deal with your home tasks. Here are the sources you may approach:
- Skilled students.
- Local specialists.
- Freelancers.
- Homework cheat websites.
It's likely that you know some students who don't have any problems with solving home assignments. For a small payment, one of them should agree to complete your tasks.
In your city, there should be some experts who can provide you with correct solutions to your assignments. Ask your friends for help to find the contact details of the needed specialists.
The world web is full of websites where one may hire freelancers who specialize in solving the tasks in particular school subjects. Check the reliability of a freelancer before giving them your money, however.
On the Internet, you may also start cooperation with agencies that solve home tasks in different school subjects. Using this option is beneficial if you need all your assignments to be done by a third party rather than the tasks in a particular subject.
Now, you know how to respond to getting too difficult home assignments. Find somebody who can help you get the right answers or hire a person or company that will solve your assignments instead of you.

Honor & Sacrifice
The Colonel
Directed by Tim Williams
Short Narrative
United States | 21 min | 2016
"The Colonel" begins in 1969 when a heralded Marine, Hap Tasker, on the brink of promotion to Brigadier, is told he has a deficient heart that prevents him from future military service.
Crestfallen, he turns his disappointment into determination to continue serving his country through instructing his nation's youth in his "time honored values." Meanwhile, Glen Meadows, a freshly started prep school in Fort Worth is battling rebellion, entitlement and bankruptcy.
In addition, many of the students and the widowed Colonel deal with difficult family issues. Desperate, Chuck Holtz, the school's headmaster hires the Colonel as athletic director and middle school football coach to unify the school by whipping the kids into shape.
Many are skeptical, but Colonel knows if he can get the kids to participate on his team, he can show them how to confront and overcome their personal demons.
Tim Williams
Director, Producer, Writer
Texas native Tim Williams is an award-winning writer, director and producer of commercials, documentaries and feature shorts. His first job at 13 was picking cantaloupes in the arid fields of Presidio, Texas. Somehow, the heat and heavy lifting of farming would prove a fitting indoctrination to a career in filmmaking.
The second of three children of a retired Air Force Captain, Williams was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. He attended Fort Worth Country Day School where he was coached and mentored by Lt. Colonel Ralph "C." (Rocky) Rosacker USMC (Ret.). The Colonel's instruction proved instrumental, helping Williams excel as a scholar athlete in creative writing, history and football. His success soon attracted offers to play football at Brown, Tulane and Colorado State University.
Williams went on to study literature and business management as well as play football at Colorado State. After an injury sidelined his football career, Williams transferred to the University of Arizona where he earned his B.A. in Journalism and Theater.
During college, Williams worked in the oil business driving 18-wheelers and operating hydraulic fracturing pumps in East Texas. Following graduation, Williams moved to Los Angeles and quickly earned positions in assorted film productions and acting roles on POLICE ACADEMY II, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, FIRST AND TEN, and many others. Williams continued to develop his writing and film skills at USC, enrolling in numerous cinema and television courses. In 1988, he returned to Texas to work as a set dresser on Oliver Stone's BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. In the years that followed, Williams worked on national and international projects for many Fortune 500 companies. Of note, in 2009 and 2010, Williams wrote, produced and directed two TV commercial campaigns for Tostitos; filmed in Baghdad and Balad, Iraq, respectively.
In addition to writing and directing the short for THE COLONEL, starring Kevin Durand (The Strain, Fruitvale Station), Williams holds all rights and has a completed feature-length screenplay of the project. Based on a true story, THE COLONEL is his sixth screenplay. Williams is also writing a multi-episode futuristic drama for television. For the past fifteen years, Tim Williams has owned and operated Thunderbolt Films, Inc., a commercial production company in Dallas where he lives with his wife, Mary and their dog, Dutch. They have four grown children.

Strategic Advisory
As solution partners to three major platforms and years of experience in delivering e-commerce solutions, we are able to bring a holistic view of both technical challenges and business trends to the strategic decision making process. Leverage our team of subject-area experts when considering a new initiative to synchronize resource planning with marketing, design with systems integration. Ensure that your goals are in line with your competitive landscape, that your systems are readied for new traffic profiles and the downstream systems are communicating in lock-step for final delivery.
Online retail customers are foremost human beings who crave unique, authentic experiences that convey a sense of belonging and express an aspirational purpose. We demand great products, but more than that we seek out brands that augment and provide nuance to our own identities. In an increasingly noisy marketplace, success in online retail is greatly determined by the manner in which customers feel touched by their shopping experiences.
Innovation across retail sectors, from eyewear to apparel, is being driven by customer expectations for uniquely personal products and services that go further than simply sharing the keys to the warehouse. As such, a deep understanding of the opportunities presented by emerging technologies is key to capturing the imaginations of sophisticated shoppers, both online and away from the screen. Taking e-commerce beyond the cart has been a key goal in many or our development engagements.
Systems Integration
An organization's people are it's key assets, and are most effectively leveraged by providing processes that remove roadblocks to their creativity. The value we provide by stitching together disparate business platforms is to unlock our clients' human potential to focus on core businesses and, by proxy, provide an excellent end user experience.
Performance Optimization
Maintaining acceptable page load times (even during peak traffic) is a key component in converting users to customers. Given that site administrators generally have roughly 8 seconds to capture the attention of users before the initial impulse to abandon, site administrators must focus relentlessly on delivering up content as quickly as possible. Furthermore, preparing for traffic spikes is perhaps just as important, as site behavior can change drastically under load.

Coconut and turmeric curry of blue swimmer crab
COMO Metropolitan Bangkok, 27 South Sathorn Road, Tungmahamek Sathorn, Bangkok 10120

Get ready for flavour: Chef David Thompson and his team take exquisite pains to ensure their dishes are perfectly balanced, but when Thai food is your metier, there's an undeniable power to the flavours on the plate, with smoke, heat, sourness, funk and bitterness all playing their part.
Not your everyday Thai food, then? Not unless your local does a fine line in the likes of clear soup of roast pigeon, crab and tapioca, steamed coral trout with yellow beans and pickled garlic, or red curry of calf's tongue, peanuts and Thai basil.
What's the royal connection? Much of Thompson's cooking is informed by his close study of recipes in Thai memorial books, some of which came from members of the court kitchen. Meanwhile some of the ingredients used at the restaurant – the guinea fowl, for instance – are sourced from the Royal Project in Chiang Mai, an initiative to introduce alternative crops to hill tribes, sponsored by the King of Thailand.
And beyond Nahm? Thompson's more casual brand is Long Chim, a restaurant specialising in the street food of Bangkok. It has branches in Singapore and Perth, with more to come. The chef is also working on a new Asian-inspired 'healthy fast food' concept to open in the UK, which will be called Tuk Shop, in collaboration with Leon.

Police have appealed for information or witnesses after a sexual assault in Milton Keynes.
The victim, a woman in her twenties, was walking from the cash point to her car in the car park in Westcroft Retail Park at about 11.30pm on Thursday, August 3.
A man approached her and tried to engage her in conversation, saying 'you're really gorgeous'.
He then grabbed the victim by her arm, pushed her head and pinched her cheeks and nose.
The victim fought off the offender before getting into her car and driving away from the scene.
Investigating officer, PC Paul Mabbutt said: "I am appealing to anyone with any information about the incident or anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward. Perhaps you saw or heard something unusual in the car park that evening, if you did please contact police.
"We believe that the offender's intentions were sexual, therefore the offence is being investigated as a sexual assault.
"Thankfully the victim fought off the offender and was able to get into her vehicle and drive away from the scene. However, she sustained concussion during the incident and required hospital treatment. She has since been discharged but is still receiving ongoing treatement.
"There has been a delay in publishing an appeal because unfortunately the victim has sustained some memory loss due to the attack, however I hope there were some witnesses to the offence and I urge them to come forward.
"If you have any information about the incident please call police by visiting a police station or calling 101 and quoting reference number 43170234021.
Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

text: Angiography is still the workhorse imaging approach for the vast majority of PCR (Percutaneous coronary revascularization) cases. However the limitations of angiographic guidance for coronary procedures are well established. This case report demonstrates how 3-Dimensional Optical Cohorence Tomography (3-D OCT) changes the treatment strategy, which seemed to be straight forward, if only angiography would have been considered. A 67 years old male patient presented with Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The coronary angiogram revealed a tight lesion of the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD). Angiographically, the vessel ostium seemed not to be involved. To clarify the disease border and determine the right stenting strategy, a 3-Dimensional optical cohorence tomography (3-D OCT; Optis SJM/Lightlab Imag) was performed. Measurements revealed a heavy disease of the LAD, ranging from the ostium to the left main coronary artery (LMCA). It was decided to proceed with a provisional stenting strategy of the LMCA and LAD. After postdilatation, the angiography showed a good result of the LAD, but revealed a significant pinching of the ostium of the LCx. Thus the kissing balloon technique was applied at the LAD/LCx bifurcation The final OCT examination documented a well-expanded stent without areas of malapposition and an open LCx ostium without significant narrowing. Intracoronary images obtained by optical coherence tomography add significant information to what is provided by angiography alone, thereby improving the understanding of interpreting angiographic images, giving us the opportunity to plan the PCR procedure.

Simon Verelst (1644-1721)
Charles II (1630-1685) c. 1677-85
The Dutch artist Simon Verelst was working in London by 1669 as a highly accomplished flower painter; Samuel Pepys was captivated when he saw 'a little flower-pot […] the finest thing that ever, I think, I saw in the life'.Verelst also gained financial success as a portrait painter, with sitters mainly from the court circle, including both Charles II and James II, and the king's mistresses, Louise de Kéroualle (1649–1734; RCIN 402652) and Nell Gwyn (c.1651–87; National Portrait Gallery). Perhaps Verelst's most distinctive portrait is that of Mary of Modena when Duchess of York, which shows her wearing a richly embroidered riding habit depicted in meticulous detail. Presumably painted for either the Duchess or the Duke of York, that work was recorded in the collection of James II, hanging in Whitehall next to a companion portrait of James by Verelst, which is no longer in the Royal Collection. In the present portrait Charles II is portrayed wearing the sumptuous robes and insignia of the Order of the Garter. The Collar and Great George were those supplied to the king by the royal goldsmith, Robert Vyner, in 1661, although the Great George is shown erroneously in reverse. The king was painted many times in Garter robes and insignia, most notably by John Michael Wright. The celebration of the Order in painted form reached its apogee in Verrio's frescoes in St George's Hall, Windsor of 1682–4 , in which the emblems of the Garter proliferated.

Call Now for your Appointment:
11345 Alamo Ranch Parkway, Suite 104,
San Antonio, TX 78253
Have you experienced persistent jaw pain, tension headaches or worn teeth? Have you been told that you grind your teeth at night? Do you clench your jaw and feel muscle tension around your face? If so, you may be experiencing TMD (Temporomandibular Disease or Disorder) that affects the TMJ (temporal mandibular joint). This is a potentially painful jaw disorder that if left untreated can get worse over time.
If you feel that you have experienced this, give us a call to explain the options that you have.
An occlusal guard is a horse-shoe shaped appliance that is worn over the teeth to protect them against damage caused by clenching or grinding. It can be worn over natural teeth and is also recommended for patients who have had a history of many restorations (crowns, veneers & bridges) to protect them against hard biting forces.
The occlusal guard that we ask our dental lab to fabricate is usually a thermoplastic (which means hard on the outside to protect teeth, but soft on the inside) so that they are comfortable for the patient. Occlusal guards are not all equal! Some guards made years ago are bulky, super-hard guards that are not comfortable for the patient to wear. Our goal is comfort so patient compliance is optimized.
Snore Appliance
Snoring is one of the symptoms of sleep apnea. It is estimated that 30%-50% of the U.S. population experiences snoring. Those who snore significantly can also experience sleep disturbances, spouse/partner disturbances and waking episodes on an on-going basis. For those affected by this, a snore appliance may be a solution.
Keep in mind, that snoring does not indicate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but those with OSA usually do snore.
Mouth Guards are thick, impact-resistant material custom molded to your teeth to help protect against any impacts or shocks occurring during sports such as basketball, baseball, football or any other contact sport. These can be made to fit over natural teeth or over braces.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- A nearly 20% increase in sales helped propel Chico's FAS to double-digit profit growth in its fiscal first quarter but some tough same-store-sales comparisons for the remainder of the year led the retailer to trim its 2006 earnings outlook. Chico's earned $52 million, or 29 cents a share, up from $47 million, or 26 cents in the year-ago period. Sales came in at a record $392 million, up from $327 million, while same-store sales were up 6.6%. However, Chico's CHS, +0.80% edged down profit expectations to a range of $1.20 to $1.24 per share from $1.23 to $1.26 as several of its brands face difficult year-over-year sales comparisons.

Most of us want our logs to be written to a file externally.
Whether they are application logs,console logs.
In our case have used to grab the logs for the WebDriver C# bindings using the log4net.dll's
Below are step by step instructions as to go about using log4net :
1. Add a config section in the app.config file under configuration
2. Add a appSettings section where you define a key value pair
Which would facilitate ConfigurationManager to get the value
3. I have created a config file other than that of the app.config & named it as log4net.config - below is the configuration
Have used RollingFileAppender and specified a location where these logs are to be written.
RollingFileAppender - This is just like LogFileAppender with an exception doesn't create a new file
Until it has reached the MaximumFilesize that we have configured initially
4. The below code snippet shows how we need to initialize the logger
private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(
5. Now accessing the key value pair from the app.config file
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["log4netConfig"]));

Gabriela Leon Exhibit at UCSC
This exhibition is a multi-media artistic response to the popular revolt and resistance that unfolded in Oaxaca in 2006 and the first traveling solo exhibition outside of Mexico for artist Gabriela León. Some of the elements of the exhibition will consist of a "barricade dress" made of barbed-wire, tire treads and mattress springs found amidst the detritus; a video projection of the artist wearing the dress walking among protesters and police; a sound installation that evokes the voices of the crowds; and tarps inspired by the temporary living structures during the lengthy protest.
Gabriela spoke at the opening of her event and posed a question that presents itself to her; 'what is the role of an artist during times of social conflict and injustice?' "It is impossible not to be affected by a situation that goes over and beyond one's limit of tolerance, confusion, frustration, euphoric hope or anxious despair. My response to the Oaxaquenan conflict was to walk peacefully with my dog wearing a dress made from the evidence of the social awakening repressed with violence."
Leon contextualized her art with the chronology of escalating violence and repression in Oaxaca. By the time Leon walked through the Zocalo on a Sunday of November 19th 2006, the people of Oaxaca had been attacked during peaceful protests with tear gas and guns, shootings had been taking place during the night, the military and PFP had taken over the State, a group of women peacefully and remarkably took control of local radio and television stations to break through the media black-out, the dialogs between the teachers union, the government and APPO were going nowhere, a demonstration of thousands of people walked from Oaxaca to Mexico City, students were kidnapped, 21 members of APPO went on a hunger strike, Indymedia journalist Brad Will had been shot, Vicente Fox had ordered the intervention of the federal police, whom illegally attacked the University and escalated their violence. After the infamous attacks of November 2nd, human rights organizations announced that 98 people were declared disappeared for politically motivated reasons, 93 people were jailed, 109 wounded and 15 dead. On November 18th (one day before the art demonstration of Gabriela Leon) a woman was raped by members of the Federal Police in the Zocalo.
"These were very emotion times", Leon expressed and began to re-address her originally posed question, "I found myself responding in unconscious ways, not having any particular idea in mind. I started collecting random objects from the barricades, the streets, from the demonstrations. I gathered ashes and soot from the burned-out tires, wires from the burned mattresses used to keep the protesters warm and safe during the night. I was interested in these objects because the barricades represented outposts of peoples' hopes and resistance, whereas the police and paramilitary barricades reflected the magnitude and scale of state power. Forming in my mind was a general idea that the leading history of this struggle, no matter what the final outcome, needed to be captured and preserved and not sanitized into oblivion."
Senson Gallery
Porter College, UC Santa Cruz
Exhibition: January 29 - March 8, 2008
Tuesday-Saturday noon to 5:00PM.
* Admission is free and parking is free on Saturdays.

Give us a few hours, we will give you an opportunity to make lasting memories
Many people in Central Virginia know what the Virginia Historical Society (VHS) is and the many programs we offer. Thousands in the Richmond area have visited the museum to see the interesting items on display in the galleries or frequented the research library to explore the materials in our collection.
But there are still large numbers of residents who we haven't interacted with yet.
I have to admit, before I started working at the VHS more than five years ago, I had never visited. I didn't know that the VHS is an awesome history museum, open seven days a week (with extended hours on Tuesdays and Fridays until 8:00 p.m.), and free. I had no idea that the VHS has George Washington's diary from the first year he was president, a button from Pocahontas's outfit, Patrick Henry's eyeglasses, the largest collection of Robert E. Lee–related material anywhere, the first cookbook published in America, and so much more.
Why is it that there are so many people out there like me—people who have lived in the Richmond area their whole life and have never visited the VHS? Is it that they have never heard of it? Probably for some of them. Is it that they don't know what the VHS is or what it has? Again, yes that's probably true for some. Is it that they haven't made the time? I imagine that this is the largest group of non-visitors.
People are busy. Believe me when I say that I completely understand.
The VHS is in competition for a few hours of your time. Many hours each day are reserved for important and necessary activities like working, going to the grocery store, making dinner for the kids, sleeping, etc. Only a few hours remain for doing fun activities.
So, I am asking you to give us just a few of those "fun" hours and let the VHS give you the opportunity to make lasting memories.
There is no better time to visit than on Saturday, July 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., during the Virginia Historical Society's Free Family Day Open House.
The Open House features a day full of games, historical demonstrations, children's crafts and activities, music, trivia contests, scavenger hunts, behind the scenes tours, and much more. And the best part is admission and all activities are free!
This year the VHS Museum Shop is hosting a huge book sale. For one day only, more than 4,000 gently used books will be sold at deeply discounted prices. Donated by our supporters, the selection includes hard and soft cover fiction and nonfiction books related to history.
If you haven't been to the VHS before (and even if you have), the Open House gives you a great opportunity to see all of the exhibitions currently on display. VHS staff are in the building all day to answer questions about the various objects featured in the museum galleries. If you've ever wanted to get the curator's perspective on an exhibit, this is the time.
VHS staff will also be doing educational demonstrations with replica artifacts including animal pelts, reproduction tools from Powhatan society, household goods from the Colonial period, supplies used by pioneers moving westward, toys from around the time of the Civil War, and musical instruments used by African Americans in the 18th and 19th centuries. There will also be craft activities for young visitors, such as women's suffrage paper dolls, Henry "Box" Brown boxes, coloring sheets, and word searches.
VHS historians will be offering visitors the opportunity to explore secret and locked spaces at the museum. Behind the scenes tours will offer an up close and personal glimpse at items recently pulled from the oldest part of the society's stone building. The materials were buried in the cornerstone in 1912 and just recently discovered and uncovered in late April (see this blog for more information).
The VHS paper conservation lab will be open that day for special tours. Visitors will see what fragile and damaged items the conservators are currently cleaning and preserving. And the Richmond Conservation Studio staff will be working on cleaning the Hoffbauer Civil War murals that day. If you haven't seen the dramatic difference the cleaning has made on those massive pieces of art, that alone is worth a visit on July 21st. Historians are also pulling out some special collection pieces, including items related to the Titanic, Woodrow Wilson's presidential campaign, and James A. Kline and the cars he manufactured in Richmond in the early part of the 20th century.
Richmond Discoveries will be demonstrating life on the Civil War battle front and home front. Costumed interpreters will be available throughout the day to interact with visitors and talk about Richmond during the Civil War.
And the ever-popular Richmond food trucks will be parked on the front lawn to serve lunch items, ice cream, and coffee drinks.
As you can see from the pictures from past open houses, visitors of all ages love the activities the VHS offers during the event. But, I think more than that, visitors appreciate and remember what an interesting, educational, and enjoyable time they had at the VHS.
I hope to see you on Saturday, July 21, at the Virginia Historical Society Free Family Day Open House. Invite friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers along with you to make lasting memories.
