Hi all,
We're going to head to Baltimore for the weekend of the 21st to 23rd of March. This should be the first proper weekend away of the 2014 diving season.
As usual this weekend is open to everyone, but places will be limited (the boat can only take so many and we can only do so many trips out per day) so I'll sign people up on a first come first served basis.
If you're planning to come down I need you to give me the following information:
-What night(s) you intend to stay (Fri/Sat).
-If you need a lift.
-If you are driving, how many passengers you can take.
-If you're a trainee, how many dives you've done.
Our plan will be to bring the boat and dive in the sea, but just in case the weather is against us, I'm going to ask everyone coming to fill out a permit application for Lough Hyne. The form is here. These need to be returned to me by the 1st of March. This is a restriction placed upon us by National Parks and Wildlife Service. If you don't return the permit in time, and we end up having to dive Lough Hyne, you won't be able to dive.
Costs should be pretty much the same as a normal dive weekend. I haven't finalised these figures, so they are subject to change, but as a rough estimate:
-€25 pp/night for accommodation.
-€10 pp/day for food.
-€10 per dive for boat dives (depends on how much fuel we use).
Any questions, give me a shout!

This Imps&Elfs collection focuses on comfortable, colourful designs in trend-led cuts for your little darlings. The Dutch brand isn't just a pretty face, however - all pieces are fair trade and use organically grown cotton to give you a clean conscience (no matter how muddy your kid gets).
With many garments crafted from elasticated jersey, the Imps&Elfs collection is all about making sure your children's playtime outfit is not only super cute but comfortable too. Darker-coloured tops are ideal for creative (read: messy) little ones - watch their faces light up when they see the humorous slogans on the front. Team with a pair of stretchy blue jeans and a some velcro trainers for a perfected park look (that's easy to put in the wash). Printed joggers from the range will give your little bundles of energy the freedom to run around in style. Pair with a grey hoodie and rubber sandals for a versatile outfit.
Taking the family to a relative's for a special occasion? Your little prince will do you proud dressed in a printed Imps&Elfs T-shirt, blazer and chinos - just add some gel in his hair for ultimate cuteness appeal. For your mini princess, a pretty Imps&Elfs dress or skirt teamed with white tights and glitzy sandals make for perfect celebration style. Don't forget the colourful hair bows and glittery bobbles to pull the look together (although make sure she doesn't upstage the birthday girl). For those chillier days outdoors, keep your mini adventurer warm with the collection of snug hats on offer. Look out for cosy but classic colours as a handy addition to a puffer jacket and mittens.

It's still spring in Chicago. Even though the sun may be shining a jacket is often necessary. Along with really big sunglasses. I want a pair of vintage oversize sunglasses with really dark lenses.
I want these to be mine! These fabulous shades are for sale at my favorite online vintage place Etsy. I really think I want them…
This is an eggplant leather motorcycle jacket with a snake print by Biba a German fashion co. I found this jacket at a garage sale in West Virginia.
The floral dress is vintage by All That Jazz found at a Salvation Army in West Virginia. Long dresses aren't exactly in my comfort zone. They're ok, but I usually chop long dresses shorter. Since this isn't my favorite dress I'm going to add it to the vintage store because it's quite lovely. It flatters the feminine shape by flaring at the hips, but being tight across the waist. Plus, I enjoyed how the skirt flounced up and down when I walked. I felt like a kid playing with a toy and my toy was my skirt.
The feminine detailing continues with buttons up the back and cap sleeves. I call these dresses granny dresses or grandma dresses because they are flowery and long. They are a common find in thrift stores and a great thrift score. You can make these dresses into your own by cutting them shorter or pairing them with contrasting pieces like I did with the motorcycle jacket. I wore vintage nude heels, found at a Village Discount in Chicago, but this dress would look good paired with knee high doc martens to roughen up the look. If I went that route, I would definitely cut the dress short and wear it with these velvet doc martens.
How do you wear your vintage dresses? Are you into granny dresses?

Ko, who turns only 14 tomorrow, becomes the first golfer to have won both the New Zealand and Australian Strokeplay titles in the same year.
In both events, Ko defeated her good friend and rival Cecilia Cho although this time the margin was nine shots compared to the narrow playoff victory she recorded over Cho in Australia.
Ko took a five shot lead into today's final round and at no stage did she appear likely to be caught. The winning margin would eventually be nine but such was the pair's domination of the event that there was a massive 10 shots back to the third placed Jayvie Agojo of the Philippines.
The leading 32 qualifiers from this week's event will qualify for the New Zealand Women's Amateur Championship beginning tomorrow morning at the same venue.

Check out this art show I helped assist with at Neff Headwear. It also happened to be hosted and curated by The Seventh Letter, whom I have been a huge fan of for the past six years, so needless to say, this was a huge deal for me. The theme of the show was Sesame Street, in which every artist illustrated/ painted/ collaged/ created their own rendition of their favorite 80's characters. I am also happy to note that a large percentage of all the work sold at the show (everything sold btw) will be donated to the City of Hope's Pediatrics department.The event turned out so amazing, I can't thank everyone whom was involved enough. Special thanks to Aaron Levant and Tal Cooperman for all their hard work curating the show and Neff Headwear for making it happen!

COMPAS Youth Boost with Bailey Cahlander/
Our first of many interviews catching up with past ArtsWork and ArtScope participants who spent a part of their youth working alongside COMPAS artists. Let's see what the experience meant to Bailey who was a participant in 2007.
* Hey Bailey, do you remember how you first became interested in the arts?
I've been immersed in art my whole life. My mom proactively kept crafting materials in her purse at all times to entertain me. Art and music were always my favorite subjects in school; I felt at peace in those classrooms and with the people in them.
*What years were you in ArtsWork – what did you do?
I found out about ArtsWork in 2007 after contacting mosaic artist Sharra Frank on a whim. I sent her an e-mail expressing my love for her work, and how inspiring her pieces were to me as an aspiring mosaic artist, and she directed me to the COMPAS/ArtsWork website, encouraging me to apply. Working for ArtsWork was an adventure for me. My family is from Chaska, so the drive to downtown Saint Paul was my first official experience with navigating rush hour traffic, parking ramps, and finding my way through a city. At the EcoLab plaza, we worked outside in tents creating three mosaic panels for the GoodWill/Easter Seals. The second year, we created a Dia de los Muertos mirror, and the third year, a mosaic for the NE Minneapolis COOP parking lot wall.
* How do you think ArtsWork made an impact on you that a "regular" job wouldn't have?
Having a job as an artist is a unique experience, and ArtsWork helped with ushering in the professional techniques and exposure to the process of creating from beginning to end. I learned very valuable skills that I wouldn't have learned anywhere else, due to their specific focus with mosaics. When I started at ArtsWork, my mosaic process consisted of skimming craft books, and basically doing everything wrong. Sharra gave me the confidence and the knowledge to move forward in art.
* Besides gaining artistic skills, what did you learn during your time with ArtsWork?
Through ArtsWork, I learned the ability to work with a wide variety of artists; something I'd never experienced before. Before ArtsWork, I preferred to work independently from others because I enjoyed the reflective process it provides. I feel I've gained a valuable skill by working in the ArtsWork groups I was involved with, and can say I'm a more effective, collaborative worker because of it.
Recently, I collaborated with Maggie Thompson, another ArtsWork alumni, on a window installation for the Made Here initiative, and found it to be a great exercise in combining vision and skill.
* How did working with a mentor artist (Sharra Frank) affect your choice of education and/or work?
Sharra Frank will always be my mentor, even after having finished ArtsWork. She is an enormous talent, and is highly respected in the mosaic art world (and outside the mosaic art world), and I am extremely lucky to have had her instruction and her continued friendship.
* What are you doing now?
Currently, I am working at Hennepin Theatre Trust as a Program Associate for the Made Here initiative. Made Here is an urban walking gallery in downtown Minneapolis that fills empty storefronts with artist installations. I work under the Cultural District Arts Coordinator, Joan Vorderbruggen, who is an unbelievably visionary artist in her own right. For Made Here, I develop content, which usually comes in the form of videos (I have a passion for video creation), and also manage the website, social media, and whatever Joan needs assistance with!
* Did your involvement with COMPAS play a role in that choice?
COMPAS inspired me to work in an arts-based nonprofit because of the impact it has on the community. Made Here works in a similar way, which was attractive to me when I was job searching.
* Where do you hope to be with your work in 10 years?
I would love to be working as a full-time artist at some point in my life, whether that's ten years from now, or thirty... at some point, I will make it happen! My dream is to mosaic a giant exterior wall of a building.

Gold futures on Wednesday finished lower a day after notching a three-week closing high as investors pared expectations for how aggressively the Federal Reserve would move to increase interest rates.
The interest-rate debate continues to change with each data point and Fed speaker, including a hawkish-sounding speech late Tuesday by San Francisco Fed President John Williams.
December gold US:GCZ6 fell $4.80, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,349.20 an ounce. The contract had posted gains over the past three trading sessions. It rose 2.1% Tuesday to settle at $1,354.00, its highest since Aug. 18, according to FactSet data.
December silver US:SIZ6 lost 29 cents, or 1.4%, to $19.848 an ounce. Silver soared 4% to $20.138 an ounce a day earlier, marking the highest settlement since Aug. 10.
"The recent 3.5%, three-day bounce for gold and 8% bounce in silver have both found some day traders' profit targets and I think we're just seeing some normal consolidation here," said Adam Koos, president of Libertas Wealth Management Group. "With a Fed interest rate hike virtually off the table until December, I think gold and silver both look very healthy and should be purchased on any pullbacks in price."
The ICE U.S. Dollar Index DXY, +0.07% traded about 0.2% higher Wednesday, pressuring dollar-denominated prices of gold. But the greenback had fallen sharply Tuesday after a report showed a drop in a U.S. service-sector index to its weakest in over six years. That report fueled speculation that the Fed could take a pass on raising interest rates later this month, although the panel may still signal the chance for a late-year rate increase.
Data released Wednesday, however, showed that U.S. job openings jumped in July to an all-time high of 5.87 million. The Fed's beige book report, which collects business feedback from across the central bank's districts, was released shortly after gold futures settled. It sees a "modest pace" of growth through the end of August.
The Fed has been eyeing economic data to gauge when it will raise rates. A slow-moving Fed is positive news for gold bulls as gold, which doesn't carry interest, is typically more appealing in a low-rate environment. U.S. currency weakness is also a positive for dollar-priced gold, making it relatively cheaper to buyers using other currencies.
The rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee will hold their next meeting on Sept. 20-21.
Late Tuesday, San Francisco Fed President John Williams painted a rosy picture of the economy and argued that a rate hike makes sense 'sooner rather than later'," said Ilya Spivak, currency strategist with Daily FX.
Among exchange-traded funds, the SPDR Gold Trust GLD, -0.64% was down 0.3% and the iShares Silver Trust SLV, -0.68% fell 1.4%. The VanEck Vectors Gold GDX, -1.57% dropped 1.6%.
Elsewhere in the metals complex, December copper US:HGZ6 ended nearly a penny higher, or 0.4%, at $2.098 a pound. October platinum US:PLV6 fell $9.90, or 0.9%, to $1,092.80 an ounce, while December palladium US:PAZ6 fell $12.30, or 1.8%, to $688.35 an ounce.

|ModusLink Global Solutions Reports 2013 Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Financial Results
Fourth Quarter Financial Summary and Supplemental Information
ModusLink reported net revenue of
The increase in revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was
primarily driven by higher revenue from a program for a consumer
electronics client and an aftermarket services program related to the
repair and refurbishment of mobile devices. The reduced operating loss
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to improved
gross margin, which was favorably impacted by (a) improved revenue mix,
(b) the effects of actions taken by the Company to reduce cost, (c) the
recognition of previously deferred revenue for a client program, which
increased revenue by
Both gross margin and SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013 benefited from the Company's actions to reduce capacity and costs
during the year. Among those actions were the consolidation of two
significant facilities and several non-strategic sites in the U.S. and
ModusLink reported Adjusted EBITDA of
For fiscal year 2013, net revenue was
Non-GAAP Information
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, the Company uses Adjusted
EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess its performance. EBITDA
represents earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation
and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the
effects of professional fees associated with our
We believe that providing Adjusted EBITDA to investors is useful as this measure provides important supplemental information of our performance to investors and permits investors and management to evaluate the operating performance of our core supply chain business. We use Adjusted EBITDA in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors, determining a component of incentive compensation for executive officers and other key employees based on operating performance and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our core supply chain business. We believe that the Adjusted EBITDA financial measure assists in providing an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage the core supply chain business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision making.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
A table reconciling the Company's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to its GAAP net income/(loss), is included in this release.
This release contains forward-looking statements, which address a
variety of subjects. All statements other than statements of
historical fact, including without limitation, those with respect to the
Company's goals, plans, expectations and strategies set forth herein are
forward-looking statements. The following important factors and
uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: the
Company's ability to execute on its business strategy, including its
cost reduction plans and the continued and increased demand for and
market acceptance of its services, which could negatively affect the
Company's ability to meet its revenue, operating income and cost savings
targets, maintain and improve its cash position, expand its operations
and revenue, lower its costs, improve its gross margins, reach and
sustain profitability, reach its long-term objectives and operate
optimally; uncertainties and volatility relating to global economic
conditions, especially in the technology sector; unanticipated declines
in, or failure to achieve the anticipated levels of, the demand for our
clients' products; potential strains on managerial and operational
resources resulting from expanded operations; failure to realize
expected benefits of restructuring and cost-cutting actions; inability
to expand operations in accordance with the Company's business strategy;
insufficient cash balances that could prevent the Company from meeting
business or investment goals; difficulties integrating technologies,
operations and personnel in accordance with the Company's business
strategy; customer losses; demand variability in supply chain management
clients, to which the Company sells on a purchase order basis rather
than pursuant to contracts with minimum purchase requirements; risks
inherent with conducting international operations; changes in tax rates
in jurisdictions where profits are determined to be earned and taxed;
changes in estimates of tax credits, benefits and deductions;
unfavorable resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various
tax authorities, including payment of interest and penalties and the
ability to realize deferred tax assets; adverse conditions in the
mergers and acquisitions or IPO markets, which could prevent liquidity
for securities in the Company's venture capital portfolio; and increased
competition and technological changes in the markets in which the
Company competes. For a detailed discussion of cautionary
statements that may affect the Company's future results of operations
and financial results, please refer to the Company's filings with the

HIV treatment to be free for foreign nationals28th February 2012
The Department of Health has revealed plans to offer people who were born abroad no-cost treatment for HIV on the NHS.
Currently foreign nationals with HIV are not treated by the health service unless they pay, although they can be treated for other conditions for free.
This group incorporates students, tourists and unsuccessful asylum seekers.
Around 25,000 people are believed to have undiagnosed HIV in England and a large proportion of that number are thought to have been born overseas.
The government said the plans would tally with changes made in Wales and Scotland, and they would ensure measures were put in place to prevent "health tourism".
Public Health Minister Anne Milton said: "This measure will protect the public and brings HIV treatment in to line with all other infectious diseases. Treating people with HIV means they are very unlikely to pass the infection on to others."
Yusef Azad, director of policy at the National Aids Trust, said: "If someone is tested and treated early, it is much cheaper than them presenting themselves in hospital with a much more serious, complex condition that can cost tens of thousands of pounds to treat."
An amendment to the Health and Social Care Bill, which is being considered in the House of Lords at present, would see free treatment for HIV given to people who had been living in the UK for six months or longer.
Professor Jane Anderson, chairwoman of the British HIV Association, said: "This is good news for people living in the UK who are HIV positive and also for public health in general."

Goodies from Switzerland! Thank You Rose Hansen.
I had a wonderful suprise yesterday- I recieved a package from my dear friend, Rose Hansen from Switzerland. Rose sent me some vintage Swiss childrens books! I love them because I collect vintage childrens books as well as greeting cards which I have written about in my earlier posts. I love looking at the retro style illustrations from the 60's and 70's. My favorite is the Balerina, die cut book.
Below are the Swiss books she sent me:
Here are some with the black & white Illustrations by Swiss artist Godi Hofman:
Rose and I met in Fribourg, Switzerland and she has been one of my first closest friends while I was living there. It was in Fribourg where my daughter Bianca was born . We lived in Switzerland until we moved back to the States when Bianca was nine years old. Below is La Vielle Ville or the Old Town in Fribourg where we used to live in a street called Rue de la Samaritaine:

(Bulgur wheat pilaf, served at November 2003 co-op banquet)
To make the bulgar wheat: Bring to a boil one part rinsed whole Oklahoma wheat berries plus two parts water or other liquid, then simmer the berries are tender (about one hour). Spread the berries on a cookie sheet and bake in a 225° F oven, stirring occasionally, until dry (about one hour). Grind in a blender, or grain grinder, or crush with a rolling pin, to the consistency of cracked wheat. Sift before cooking, to remove any fine flour.
To make the bulgar wheat pilaf: saute onions and garlic and bulgar wheat in olive oil. Add 3 parts broth, stock, water with bouillion, to one part bulgar wheat, plus dried herbs such as sage, thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano, parsley. Cooked or stir-fried vegetables and/or chunks of mat can also be added. Be liberal with the seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer until liquid is absorbed. Longer and slower cooking is better.
Served at the November 2003 co-op banquet.
(9 inch)
1 cup honey
1 1/2 cups pecans
3 eggs
2 Tbl. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1/4 cup butter
(Roasted with honey and wine, served at the November 2003 cooperative banquet)
3-4 c. peeled & cubed turnips
1/2 c. honey
2 c. red wine
1/4 c. butter
Place turnips in saucepan; add remaining ingredients & enough water to barely cover. Simmer until tender. Pour into baking dish & bake at 350 1/2 hour. 4 servings.
(cooked mixed spring or fall greens, at the November 2003 co-op banquet, the greens were mustard, kale, and turnip.)
Wash greens and tear into pieces, including the stems. Add crushed red pepper and dried Italian herbs, saute in olive oil until wilted, cover with stock, broth, or water with bouillion, add a little Liquid Smoke, bring to a boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes to a half hour. This can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight, the flavors are more intense and mingled the second day. It can be cooked longer if desired. Serve with a sprinkling of vinegar.
30 pounds Ground Oklahoma beef
8 pounds ground Oklahoma pork
1.5 pounds finely minced onions
6.25 quarts fine bread crumbs
16 beaten eggs from pastured chickens
9.5 cups goats milk
8 cups tomato sauce
seasonings - salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, minced garlic
To make the tomato sauce: take about ten pounds of fresh vine ripened tomatoes, drop in boiling water to remove skins, take off the core/stem attachment, chop and put with a small amount of water in a sauce pan and simmer for a couple of hours.
1. Thoroughly blend meat, seasonings, onion, and crumbs by hand. Machine mixing will harden the loaf.
2. Add beaten eggs, milk, and tomato juice and mix thoroughly.
3. Bake in large pans at 325 degrees F. for about one and one-half hours.
This recipe is based on a recipe from the book Quantity Cooking, by Nola Treat and Lenore Richards, of the Richards Treat Cafeteria and Food Shop, printed in 1951.

Kirstie Alley Weight Loss
Kirsten Louise "Kirstie Alley" has been in the news for a while with her weight loss and gain thing. If you are not familiar with the name, then you should be familiar with "Rebecca Howe" from the award winning comedy series "Cheers" (1982-1993) or you might remeber her in the less popular show "Veronica's Closet" in the late 90's. She's engaged in other stuffs too.
Kirstie Alley Before After Weight Loss
At some point in her career, she gained a bunch of weight. In 2005, her weight increased to over 200 lb (91 kg). Now at this time what one would do? Just exercise, crash diets, regular workouts and so on. Normally, when a famous actress gains a couple of pounds, then she is not the girl that finds the Guys anymore, rather she's an Aunt or something like that oldie and ugly roles in the film.
Kirstie Alley On Oprah Winfrey Show
Kirstie Alley revealing bikini on Oprah Winfrey ShowBut after quitting the Jenny Craig weight-loss program, she started it all over again. She gained almost 83 pounds (37.6 kg) after that.
Now that she has struggled in her career and have gone through many ups and downs, we should encourage people like them, shouldn't we? So, what do you guys think about Kirstie Alley and her weight loss struggle. Have anyone else suffered from this thing?

At West Horndon Primary School we are passionate about providing a curriculum for our learners which meets their needs in the 21st Century. Our approach to curriculum planning is bespoke and flexible so that it can be adapted to meet the needs of learners over time.
As a maintained primary school we start by ensuring that we meet the requirements of the National Curriculum.

Phonic development
There is a great emphasis on the systematic teaching of phonics as a prime means of teaching children how to read and spell. At West Horndon, phonic skills are primarily taught through the use of Letters and Sounds (DFES 2007). Letters and Sounds consists of a six phase programme which is introduced in the Early Years Foundation Stage and progresses throughout Key Stage One (and beyond as needed), as a discrete daily teaching programme.
The principles underlying Letters and Sounds ensure:
- Importance is placed on the development of speaking and listening skills in their own right and for paving the way to success in reading and writing.
- Children are taught grapheme/phoneme correspondence (GPCs) in a clearly defined sequence.
- The important skills of blending (synthesising) and segmenting phonemes are taught alongside the knowledge that the processes are reversible. In turn these skills are practised and applied by the children, enabling words to be read and spelled.
- The assessment formats that are encompassed within it allow individualised learning, enabling pupils to progress between the phases as required.
Acquisition of the phonic code is supported by use of the associated actions and stories, outlined in the Jolly Phonics Handbook. However the teaching of the alphabetic code follows the sequence outlined in Letters and Sounds and this is supported by LCP phonics planning. Whilst teachers are able to adapt the delivery of the programme, the content is set. This approach ensures a rigorous format is applied, which provides consistency throughout the school.
Being able to read is the most important skill children will learn during their early schooling and has far reaching implications for life long confidence and well being. (Adonis & Hughes 2007)
The benefits of being a frequent and enthusiastic reader are well documented. The more you read, and enjoy reading, the better and more confident you become at reading and the more you want to do it. Whilst creating skilled, confident readers who are able and eager to access the curriculum is fundamental to our school environment, creating a culture that promotes reading for pleasure is equally paramount. Attaining this will enable children to enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and, consequently, to accomplish economic wellbeing later in life, (adapted from the Literacy Trust /readingconnects, 2008).
- To provide an environment where reading is seen as both important and enjoyable.
- To promote opportunities for speaking and listening as part of early reading development
- To develop fluent and automatic word recognition skills based on acquisition and use of phonic knowledge.
- To develop language comprehension that facilitates a transition from learning to read to reading to learn.
- To actively teach children to read, so they grow into confident and competent readers
- To actively involve parents in helping their child to read and ensure they realise their importance in this role throughout their child's school career.
Throughout the school a variety of activities are used to develop and promote reading.
Developing readers
Oxford Reading Tree (ORT) materials are used to support reading development. These consist of clearly structured progressive resources which incorporate both fiction and non-fiction genres. Teachers should endeavour to encourage children to choose from the books which are readily accessible to children in the ORT library area, downstairs. Guidance needs to be given to pupils so that they can independently select and replace materials at appropriate levels, whilst respecting the books and library area.
The programme must be used to meet the individual needs of each child and progress through the stages and onto 'general' reading materials is only made at the discretion of the class teacher. It is not specific to age, year group or key stage. Progress through ORT reading scheme is supported by the progress sheets in the ORT handbook. These include guidance about the specific GPCs and frequent words covered in each book. These can be used alongside the more detailed reading assessment which is continuously carried out using Assessing Pupil Progress materials, (see assessment).
Competent readers
Once children have progressed through the program and are reading confidently with good understanding, they can choose from a selection of reading books, within each class library. Books will range in genre, length and difficulty and children will initially be guided in how to make appropriate selections. They may have material from their personal collections, local library or other source as their reading choice.
When reading at this level, children will record the books they choose using Junior Librarian. This system enables teachers to periodically monitor the books they are choosing and ensure children explore a variety of genre. Teacher will positively encourage children to access a wide variety of books by suggesting specific reading materials to pupils.
Oxford Reading Tree Library
This area is located on the lower floor communal area. Books are arranged in stage order and need to be scanned in and out using the junior librarian system which is installed on the PC in the ORT area. See the developing reader section above for details of the ORT scheme.
Reference Library
The library is situated in a designated area. It contains a variety of non-fiction reading materials suitable for all year groups which are organised under the Dewey classification system.
All classes are allocated a day on which the library is available for group use. This is organised at the teacher's discretion, however during the allotted day opportunities should be made for children to choose and exchange books from the library for their individual use. Library books should be taken home alongside a reading book, in the child's books folder. KS2 teachers need to allow time for trained library monitors to organise/re-shelf resources in the library at the end of their session. Learning Support Assistants from all classes should also take regular opportunities to maintain the overall appearance of the library.
Class libraries
Each class has a designated reading area, of high quality and value, where children can sit and enjoy a wide range of books. The area should be clearly identifiable and be used as far as possible to display relevant materials for example; particular book genres being studied, a focused author, newly exchanged or purchased books as this will further enhance the schools promotion of reading. Class libraries are stocked with books provided by the school or those on loan from Essex School Library Service. Children should be allowed to choose from these books as part of their self-chosen reading material.
Opportunities for reading as part of other subjects including the use of ICT
Reading is intrinsically incorporated across the curriculum, whether it be reading a problem in numeracy, accessing instructions in a food technology session, using inference and deduction to explore a painting in art or sourcing information for a topic from a book or the internet. Teachers must exploit every opportunity for making reading real. Children should be exposed to a wide variety of real literature and alternative texts, including ICT based materials and DVDs to enable them to develop skills in reading for meaning at varying levels. It is important to emphasise that reading skills such as inference and deduction can be developed through a wide genre of texts aside from writing or print.
Computers are now part of everyday life. For most of us, technology is essential to our lives, at home and at work. 'Computational thinking' is a skill pupils must be taught if they are to be ready for the workplace and able to participate effectively in this digital world. The new 2014 National Curriculum for computing has been developed to equip young people in England with the foundational skills, knowledge and understanding of computing they will need for the rest of their lives. Through the new programme of study for computing, they will learn how computers and computer systems work; they will design and build programs, develop their ideas using technology and create a range of content. This represents continuity and change, challenge and opportunity. Computing is concerned with how computers and computer systems work, and how they are designed and programmed. Pupils studying computing will gain an understanding of computational systems of all kinds, whether or not they include computers. Computational thinking provides insights into many areas of the curriculum, and influences work at the cutting edge of a wide range of disciplines. Why is computational thinking so important? It allows pupils to solve problems, design systems, and understand the power and limits of human and machine intelligence. It is a skill that empowers, and one that all pupils should be aware of and develop competence in. Pupils who can think computationally are better able to conceptualise, understand and use computer-based technology, and so are better prepared for today's world and the future. Computing is a practical subject, in which invention and resourcefulness are encouraged. The ideas of computing are applied to understanding real-world systems and creating purposeful products. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

Sarah Ward Faber & Faber has acquired two novels by debut UK author Sarah Ward. Crime Editor Katherine Armstrong bought world rights from Kirsty McLachlan at David Godwin Associates for In Bitter Chill and an as-yet-unnamed second book.
Armstrong said: 'I am thrilled to be publishing Sarah Ward's In Bitter Chill. This is a compelling debut from a new and exciting voice and it struck a chord with me from the moment I started reading. Two girls are abducted in Derbyshire in the late 1970s and only one returns home. Cut to the present day and the mother of the still missing girl commits suicide, re-opening old wounds for the girl who came back. This is a story that gets to the heart of a community and the legacy of a tragedy like this. It's a story about loss and secrets – those we tell ourselves and those we tell each other.'

Mountain Bike Holiday and Pyrenees Trip
Tim and his group choose a Basque MTB mountain bike holiday for the second year running, including a trip to the South Pyrenees.
Mountain Bike Holiday in North Spain With a Trip to the Pyrenees.I have got a bit behind with the blogs from our mountain bike holidays. I had computer issues it's taken ages to replace the computer and all the software. I'll catch up! The first holiday in September was a special week for everyone at Basque MTB because Tim and his group from Bristol were returning for their second mountain bike holiday with Basque MTB. That isn't too unusual but it was special for us because these guys have been to lots of other companies but this was the first time they have ever been to the same place twice. Tim was keen to experience the mountain biking we offer on our South Pyrenees Mountain Bike Holidays but was also keen to repeat his stay on the Basque Coast. After discussing it we decided to do a normal Basque Coast mountain bike holiday, based in Hondarribia near San Sebastian, but take two nights away and travel through the Pyrenees. Read on to see how we got on.
First Day of the Holiday: Stinky Goat and Celtic Flo

|Big Uplifted Mountain Biking in the Pyrenees.
Returning to the Basque Coast to continue our mountain bike holiday.We set of the next morning for the Basque coast. It took us around two and a half hours, through some beautiful parts of Spain. Just before we reached the Basque Coast I dropped the guys off at the top of a hill on the border between France and Spain. I left them with a GPS loaded with a route to take them back to their accommodation in Hondarribia, I returned their bags and the guys spent the rest of the day riding back.

The 2015-2016 El Niño has been dubbed "Godzilla El Niño" by weather experts—and with good reason. Just like the giant lizard that destroyed anything in its path, so too has the current El Niño cycle wreaked havoc across the globe, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.
El Niño last occurred during the winter of 2009-2010, but then the weather changes were only considered "moderate," compared with this winter's "very strong"–a designation only given two other times since records began 65 years ago. Some news outlets are reporting this El Niño cycle is the worst we've ever seen.
On Thursday, February 17, The World Meteorological Organization announced that El Niño had passed its peak, but it'll be months before we see improved conditions in North America. Meanwhile, we're left to pick up the pieces of destruction caused by the extreme and unusual weather.
"El Niño" Defined
El Niño, and its twin La Niña, which occur every two to seven years, are complex weather patterns that originate near the equator and come about through changes in the ocean's temperatures.
Though El Niño can last for nine to 12 months (and in rare cases, even longer), in North America we usually see effects during the winter months. The NOAA reports that the Western and Northern U.S. experience warmer-than-average temperatures, while the Gulf Coast and Florida see wetter-than-average conditions, and the Midwest and Pacific Northwest have drier-than-average conditions.
Effects of El Niño
We're now in the midst of the strongest El Niño cycle since the winter of 1997-1998, and while facts and figures aren't in yet on total damages or losses from this cycle, looking at what happened 18 years ago can show us where we might be headed. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association reports that the last time El Niño hit so hard, "The result was unusual weather in parts of the world, including the U.S. Severe weather events included flooding in the southeastern United States, major storms in the Northeast, and flooding in California."
The heavy rains, flash floods, strong winds, and snowy conditions associated with El Niño impact everything from crops to travel plans, but El Niño can also have a very real impact on the number of car crashes and the amount of vehicle damage we experience.
El Niño and Cars
In the U.S., we experience the effects of El Niño to a greater or lesser extent depending on which line of latitude our home is located. This year in the Northeast, we've had several days of below-freezing weather and high winds followed quickly by an almost spring-like reprieve, only to be thrust back into the polar depths—all due to El Niño's effects. And California has already had so much rain that many people are hopeful drought conditions might improve. Intense weather changes affect our day-to-day activities, of course, but they also can have a big impact on the cars we drive. A few examples of vehicular damage from this year's El Niño weather system:
- One person was killed when a tree fell on a car during a January storm in Southern California.
- Heavy rains and high winds in California left drivers stranded and forced to abandon their cars, and a big San Francisco storm during peak commuting time flooded roads and caused car crashes.
- Florida has seen an increase in tornadoes from El Niño, and one "tossed cars and trucks about Florida's Turnpike," according to the Sun-Sentinel.
- ABC 9 reports "A treacherous mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain caused car crashes from the Mid-Atlantic states through Pennsylvania to northern New England on Tuesday, February 16," including three deaths on slick roads in Virginia.
Other ways El Niño can ruin vehicles include exceptional rainfall which often causes irreparable water damage, big changes in temperature which can stress the engine, and tornados and high winds which can cause large objects to crush cars. And, of course, all of these scenarios can impact auto insurance rates.
El Niño and Auto Insurance
Property Casualty 360 reports that the El Niño-driven cooler, wetter conditions in the South, and above-average temperatures in the North, may be contributing to more car crashes this winter, which will mean more auto insurance claims. And we all know what an increase in claims means: an increase in price for policyholders. This is especially bad because auto insurance prices were already set to rise this year due to the increase in driving and car crashes nationally over the last year.
Insurance prices are likely to change regionally, with places heavily impacted by El Niño seeing the biggest increases. The Palm Beach Post reports that Florida already makes the most flood-related claims of any state in the union, and with the unusually wet conditions the state is now experiencing during their dry season, that rate is sure to climb this year, bringing higher rates for policyholders.
We'll have to wait until the season ends for hard numbers about changes in auto insurance rates, but the increase in crashes and claims across the U.S. is likely to mean higher premiums for many drivers, even ones who didn't make a claim themselves.
El Niño Preventative Measures
First, weatherproof your car for whichever climate you're in, and factor El Niño-related changes into your plans. From our region-by-region weather proofing guide:
- Continuous subzero temperatures can cause stress on your car's engine, so take extra care when monitoring your battery and fluids, and regularly have the engine's belts and hoses inspected for cracks.
- Be sure your tires' tread and pressure meet regulations so you don't slip around on wet roads, and have your brakes checked regularly.
- Make sure your defroster is working well, and replenish the anti-freeze fluids so your radiator doesn't crack.
If heavy rain is expected and floods are predicted, take preventative measures where you can: get your car to high ground (it takes fewer than two feet to carry off a car, and if waters rise above the floorboards, most insurers will declare the car a total loss), close all windows and sunroofs, and make sure the trunk is secured shut.
If you live in a region of the U.S. likely to see increased rains this El Niño cycle, be sure your policy covers floods. Most comprehensive policies do, but you'll have to look carefully at your own or speak with your agent to know for sure. For more driving advice, check out our guide for driving in extreme weather.

Q: In 1996 we moved into a home in the Creekwood subdivision. We understood Creekwood is in the Huntsville city limits - we have Huntsville Utilities. Recently I have read about our beautiful Indian Creek Greenway, playground and dog fenced area. Last, the disc golf course was finished.
This is a very nice area for families, adults and teens. Huntsville city I assumed has built and developed this whole area - not Madison as indicated in an article by Mark McCarter. Are my assumptions correct?
A. According to Taylor Edge, an aide to the mayor of Madison, the greenway was a joint project of the cities of Huntsville and Madison, and the Madison County Commission. - Yvonne Betowt

euRobotics AISBL (Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif) is a Brussels based international non-profit association for all stakeholders in European robotics.
One of the association's main missions is to collaborate with the European Commission (EC) to develop and implement a strategy and a roadmap for research, technological development and innovation in robotics, in view of the launch of the next framework program Horizon 2020. Towards this end, euRobotics AISBL was formed to engage from the private side in a contractual Public-Private Partnership, SPARC, with the European Union as the public side.
Website: www.eu-robotics.net
At the end of 2015 we had the great opportunity to collaborate with euRobotics AISBL. While designing a series of graphic elements for online and print, we took into consideration the current graphic design standards, the euRobotics brandbook and the events' themes:
- "Brokerage Day 2015" event – graphic design for the poster and participants' badges
- "euRobotics Week 2015" event – graphic design for the two posters of the event (one addressed to young people and the othe to adults) and for the online banner
- "euRobotics Forum 2016" event – graphic design for the sponsors' and exhibitors' handbook

Sick days, Weathrman, and you/
So I'm home sick today, and going through the laundry list of things I haven't gotten around to recently.
Weathrman is on that list.
I've pushed a new version of the server that performs searches on behalf of app users up. This is designed to do two things: reduce the cost of running the service, and improve the search quality.
In order to reduce the cost, I'm going to do the obvious thing: I'm going to produce fewer searches. Specifically, that means:
- Instead of asking for a 3-hour window, we're asking for a 4-hour window around 'now'.
- Increase the search window from 3 months to 4 months (2 in either direction)
- Fetch 4 pages of results instead of 5.
- Reduce the minimum number of results needed at any search level from 5 to 3.
- Remove street-level searching (level 16) - it too rarely has results, and just creates latency.
This means our worst case goes from being 7 tiers of 5 parallel searches to being 6 tiers of 4 parallel searches. It also means the average case, which cost 1 tier of 5 searches before we were likely to find any results, will now get faster, and I won't be paying for that wasted time.
The downside is that I'm only fetching four pages of results; searches cover the entire four-month window, and it's possible that none of the first four pages will have photos taken within the required time-of-day range; if that happens, we skip up a level. Dropping one of the pages of search results makes that more likely, and it's probably not completely mitigated by the widening of the 3-hour window to 4. The net effect is that searches may feel… a little less local.
Hopefully, these changes mean I'll be able to continue supporting this service for longer, and more cheaply. Going back to the days when the client was responsible for performing all these searches just isn't going to happen - it's just too convenient to be able to run the searches from the server, and much more reliable. It does mean that I'm bearing the cost of a free app - but as long as I can keep the costs down, I don't mind.

As a result of our emphasis on relationships, candidates are comfortable talking to us about their aspirations and concerns. Because we take the trouble to understand the background and the context for an appointment, we are able to act as informed ambassadors for your business, promoting your identity while assessing the real suitability of candidates. Our two principal consultants are ex-Servicemen who between them have now spent more time recruiting in the commercial world than serving in the Armed Forces; we do understand the business we are in.
If you appoint the right person, you can expect them to grow and evolve with your organisation over time. The role in which they start will be the basis for a sustained contribution to your success over a number of years. In finding you the candidates most suitable for the role and the company, we expect to deliver:
- strong cultural and personal 'fit' in candidates
- lateral thinking in developing innovative solutions
- market intelligence and advice on additional resourcing issues
- promotion of your corporate values, identity and 'brand' to candidates who are involved in the process
The majority of our candidates have spent at least part of their career in the Armed Forces. Many have subsequently developed successful careers in management in commercial organisations, so now offer an excellent combination of qualities and attributes. We understand how powerful it can be to combine current business management skills with the background of a well educated and well trained 'ex-Services' individual; we also understand the questions that many companies have when considering employing ex-Forces men and women at any level.

This Falcon Miniature is the newest addition to my vintage camera collection. It was made in 1939 by the Utility Manufacturing Company in New York. The body is made of Bakelite, and it takes 127 roll film. It came with a 50mm lens with a fixed aperture and fixed focus. The simple spring rotary shutter offers only one speed, 1/25.
It's nice to also have the original box. Can't wait to find some 127 film and test it out!

Last week I had two "seniors" in the studio...Kya and Maisy, a couple of older pugs who were so funny. I find pug faces hilarious, and after seeing these portraits I dare you to disagree.
This is Maisy, who is about 11 years old. Maisy was the more cooperative of the two. All I had to do was pop a couple of treats onto the bench and up she went!
This is Kya, who is 10 years old and blind. She was a little more confused about the whole situation but once she got comfortable she posed for me for a few good shots. I love both the dogs' colouring; they looked great against the grey background.
I also wanted to do some Christmas portraits and that little hat was so cute. Maisy wasn't that amused as you can probably see, but she gladly laid up on the chair for quite a while, and even started falling asleep! Doesn't it feel like she is wondering what the heck is going on with this thing on her head?
Kya wasn't as impressed with the Santa hat but I thought the scarf looked great on her!
To end off, here is one last one that I thought was so funny! Oh Maisy, you're awesome.
Thanks to Karen for bringing in her hilarious dogs.
There's still time to get pet portraits done in time for Christmas! I have a limited time offer from now until Dec.22. Pet portrait sessions are only $99! (Prints sold separately, some exceptions apply). Give me a call if you'd like to book: 250-650-7389. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you!

Dynamic FTP Adapter in SOA 10.1.3
The Outbound dynamic configuration is supported via JCA dynamic partnerlinks. There are 2 possible scenarios for this (which are described in detail in Oracle SOA tutorial 140.AdapterFramework\DynamicPartnerlinks) :
a) the dynamic part is the jca:address location attribute
<jca:address location="eis/ftp/anonymous">
The BPEL process can decide which JCA Connection Factory (JNDI entry) to use. The dynamically chosen JNDI name at runtime must already be defined in oc4j-ra.xml .
b) the dynamic part are the JCA connection properties:
<jca:address ManagedConnectionFactory="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.FTPManagedConnectionFactory"
where the dynamic attributes include Host, Port, Username and Password. Then attribute ManagedConnectionFactory is not changeable. This solution is independent of the existence of any oc4j-ra.xml defined connection factory locations.
For the Inbound synchronous read the solution is to use the synchronous read operations available for the adapter.

How To Repair Your Damaged Kidney Naturally Using 1 Teaspoon Of Baking Soda
Firstly, it is necessary to know the reasons for kidney damaging so that you can understand how it is usually treated and how sodium bicarbonate is different from all remaining contemporary methods for treatment.
The endocrine system produces enzymes and hormones so that the food can safely digest into chemicals which our body is able to process more easily. The pancreas is the organ that produces the major part of sodium bicarbonate which protects the kidneys during digestion. However, there are situations when the kidneys will produce surplus amounts of this enzyme depending on one's own diet. What's more, if you burden these two organs excessively, by consuming a lot of sugar, fatty foods and other unhealthy ingredients, their ability to produce sodium bicarbonate naturally will reduce. And, without enough bicarbonate, which neutralizes the acids produced during digestion, these acids can damage your kidneys, other organs can deteriorate and the aging process in adults will speed up.
Therefore, there is a natural method that can help you slow the progress of kidney stones- sodium bicarbonate or baking soda. A study conducted by the Royal London Hospital showed that this household product can help with kidney stones and also people on dialysis by reversing the kidney failure so that it no longer needs dialysis.
Sodium bicarbonate is naturally produced by the kidneys and this is a guardian of the kidneys. So, if the levels are low enough, the kidneys will gather the slack and begin with production. When the kidneys fail to produce sodium bicarbonate or to get bicarbonate into the urine (many other diseases can also cause the same situation), the bicarbonate will enter the blood and it will become over acidic. Moreover, during kidney failure, the kidneys are unable to remove any acids from the blood. When the kidneys become able to transfer the acid into the urine, acidic blood disappears.
According to the British scientists, when sodium bicarbonate is used together with a given treatment for kidney failure, the decline of the kidney functions slows down. By the end of the two years of the research, only 6, 5 percent of the participants had the need for dialysis which was a great reduction when compared to the 33 percent of the participants who still needed dialysis.
When given orally in conjunction with dialysis, sodium bicarbonate y enters the blood stream directly and improves the efficiency of the dialysis. By adding a basic substance, it also keeps the kidneys from being burnt. Furthermore, acids that enter the kidneys such as sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus, which come from our food, must take a basic compound with them. Moreover, this neutralizes them and allows them to pass through the kidneys without causing any damage.
Also, cancer patients are often times given sodium bicarbonate to help in the neutralization of the effects from the chemicals used in chemotherapy. Additionally, overdose with chemicals and toxins can be resolved with the help of this amazing compound.
Dissolve a half teaspoon under your tongue the first day. Afterwards, drink 1, 5 liters of water daily with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate and half a teaspoon of cooking or table salt.
Always bear in mind that your nutrition and overall lifestyle can have serious consequences for your kidneys as well as your overall health.

Delaware 50+ Voters
AARP commissioned a survey in Delaware to gauge the views of voters ages 50+ on a range of issues affecting their state. Key findings include the following:
- Delaware voters ages 50+ view the economy and the drug epidemic as the most important issues facing their state.
- Division in America is a top concern among Delaware voters ages 50+.
- Although the majority of Delaware voters ages 50+ feel that the U.S. economy overall is getting stronger, few feel that they personally are getting ahead financially.
- The vast majority of Delaware voters ages 50+ express support for reform to reduce the prices of prescription drugs.
- Many Delaware voters ages 50+ are concerned about changes that Congress may make to programs that matter to them, such as Medicare and Social Security.
This survey was conducted from November 30 through December 5, 2017 by Benenson Strategy Group and GS Strategy Group for AARP. The sample included 800 registered voters ages 50+ in Delaware. All interviews were completed by telephone using landlines and cell phones. For more information, contact S. Kathi Brown of AARP Research at email@example.com. Inquiries from the Media should be directed to AARP's Media Relations Department at email@example.com.

Friend of the Space, Barbara, shares her maiden voyage abroad with her Brompton.
What was the inspiration for the trip?
My 84-year old mother has been wanting to do a 'roots' trip back to where she grew up in Germany. So I took her to where she'd lived, Hamburg and Bremen. While there, I took advantage of the times that my mother slept in or spent hours shopping to run errands or go for "scouting rides." After she left I took trains to some other lovely towns bordering the North & Baltic Seas where her grandparents were from (no luck finding any relatives, though). Since the best flights I found for myself were in & out of Berlin, and I have friends there, I also spent a few days in leafy, uncrowded Berlin.
Did you consider any other bikes before getting a Brompton? A full size bike is too much to deal with on this kind of trip. I considered other folders, but found them too flimsy and unstable in comparison.
Did you have any reservations? I was a little afraid of how overnight accommodations would receive a bicycle coming in, but it was never perceived as a bother or unusual. I hadn't been to Germany since the wall came down (26 years ago!), and did not know how safe or easy it would be to get around by bike, so it was nice to find it's not just cool, but ubiquitous! There is cycling infrastructure absolutely everywhere, and it's not thought of as anything special. If anything, driving is the non-standard mode of transport.
Why was a Brompton such a good travel companion? Having the Brompton felt like having a travel companion who's 100% in sync with you. With the 'brommie,' and a $10 local SIM card installed in my phone, I felt fearless to go anywhere without much baggage, guide books, or fixed itinerary. It was super easy to take it on trains, and once at a destination, I saw things and chatted with locals so much more than I would've if I'd relied on driving, or even subways. There are extensive subway systems in the cities (which you can also take a bike onto if uncrowded), but I prefer being above ground – you never know what you'll see!
How long have you had your Brompton? I'd been hankering after one for a while, so planning for this trip was just the last bit of motivation needed. I only bought it a few weeks before leaving!
What do you use your Brompton for? Do you have a multi-modal commute? I have a too-long & hilly multi-modal commute! I'm not ready to give up my share bike membership yet, but do use the Brompton on occasional trips to work or shop. It's pretty handy since you can take it on the metro anytime.
Any tips for traveling with a Brompton? Surprisingly, the T-bag gave me enough space to pack for a 3 week trip. I've been experimenting with ways to pack the bike for travel (a Brompton cardboard box, regular luggage, fancy bags made for it, and Ikea storage bags), and have found the original cardboard box that it came in held up the best and could be disposed of on arrival. The only trick is finding one for the return trip. It wasn't hard to do in Germany, since there are bike shops that specialize in Bromptons.
Are you planning any other Brompton trips in the future? From here on out, it's going to hard to imagine going anywhere without it!

What ecostore customers say about our products
Well my husband decided to give me a shirt the day before a wedding and asks me to remove an inground stain, of coffee ! It was washed by him previously after a long time in the closet!! Haha I said leave it to me! So i made a paste using about a tablespoon of your amazing product, ' Laundry Soaker and Stain Remover !' spread it on the stain , left it for around 30 minutes, then in the machine with your laundry liquid, and voila!! Stain gone!! We love all your products, they are so good, safe, and appreciate all that you do to make our planet safe! Thank you so much!- Liza & Baz
How fantastic your soaker is. I have converted all of my home to safer cleaning products but, found it very hard to let go off a well known chemical based soaker. Recently my youngest child has broken out in eczema all over his body & this prompted me to switch to a safer style of soaker. I must say I am using far less & the whites are far whiter than the chemical based option. I feel much happier that I now have a safe & effective option to use in my laundry.- Kenneth

This article is dedicated only to vehicle rebalance. Click 9.15 Patch Notes for more information regarding other changes.
If you want to see differences between 19 improved tank models from 9.15 Supertest, here are the First Part and the Second Part.
It should be mentioned that these adjustments are not final. The results of the tests can affect tank stats dramatically.
We've increased firing power and aiming parameters. Now this tank can land shots on weak points of its opponents with high DPM. Increased view range will not only allow spotting an enemy sooner but adds more chance for tank to survive if the advantage is exploited to the full extent. Increased reversre speed makes this tank even harder to destroy because it will be able to quickly leave the flash point even moving backwards.

The Gentry Grooming Co. has two types of shave creams, one of which I've already reviewed earlier this year (see here).
Their 2nd shave cream – The 3D Shave, is a 3-in-1 shave cream that comes equipped to be used as a pre-shave, shave cream and a moisturizer. It's performance as a shave cream, is certainly on the top of the list of lotion-based (non-lather) shave creams on the market. And with their Black Pepper & Mint signature ingredients, it keeps it interesting, in a good way!
The moisturizing component of this cream works very well in calming the skin with the aid of jojoba oil. My only hang-up was that the fragrance lasted a bit too long. The fact that I wear a mustache added to the lingering scent and made the amazing combo of black pepper & mint no longer appealing. If very careful, you can avert this issue by avoiding your lip hair during the application process if the fragrance bothers you.
Overall, it came through in doing what it said it would, and is a great choice as a shave cream.
