What is ISO 9001?
In today's competitive world consumers are increasingly demanding for even higher limits of quality. Those who can provide are certainly in demand and consumers lay more trust in them.
The ISO 9001 Quality Management System is the world's most popular quality improvement standard, with over one million certified organizations in 180 countries around the globe. It is the only standard in the 9000 family of standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that can be used for the purpose of conformity assessment. ISO 9001 also serves as the basis for many other important sector-specific standards, including ISO 13485 medical devices), ISO/TS 16949 (automotive) and AS/EN 9100 (aerospace).
The competitiveness of organizations in the international market is determined by the quality of its business processes. The quality management system is an efficient instrument for quality management requirements that are placed in front of a modern, innovative organization.
Why is it important?
ISO 9001 certification demonstrates your organization`s ability to consistently meet and exceed customer expectations. For this reason, many buyers require suppliers to be ISO 9001 certified to minimize their risk of purchasing a poor product or service. A business that achieves ISO 9001 certification will be able to attain significant improvements in organizational efficiency and product quality by minimizing waste and errors, and increasing productivity.
· Save money and time - through quality management practices that increase your organizational efficiency, productivity and profitability.
· Minimise risk - by consistently achieving a level of quality defined by the standard, thus ensuring your products and services are less likely to fall short of customer expectations.
· Brand - TÜV SÜD, an internationally recognised and respected brand.
· Increase your competitiveness - with a quality management system certified by TÜV SÜD that attracts investors and lowers trade barriers to your business.
Standard promotes orientation of the organization towards the process approach in management. The advantage of this approach is reflected primarily in the transparency and the possibility of improving planning processes, defining responsibilities and authority within these processes, identifying flows of information, methods used in the system of debate, identifying necessary resources and better control of business processes.
The advantage of the standard and its introduction encourages companies to strive for continuous improvement in accordance with the principle of PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act), with special emphasis on the motivation of employees towards continuous improvement, as well as corrective and preventive measures.
Why choose TMS ?

Stewie, aka "Mr. Smiley" is a lovable, intelligent, energetic and loyal 45 lb beagle/foxhound mix whose eagerness to please will melt your heart!
At 18 months old, Stewart (His full name is Stewart, but his loving foster says he is a Stewie) still has plenty of puppy charm and is up for anything, but is also mature enough to be able to focus and learn. He particularly loves to wrestle, run, and play fetch and tug-of-war with his canine companions. He likes walks in the woods, rides in the car and has just discovered the joys of a swim in the lake with his humans. When he's finished playing, he settles easily and will sit by your side, sleep at your feet, or snuggle on the couch next to you.
Clever Stewie loves to use his mind –- and his nose — to learn new things. He's housebroken, sleeps through the night, and is very responsive to training. He already knows many basic commands (come, sit, stay, down, paw) and he learned how to roll over in about five minutes. Teaching him tricks is easy and fun! It's what he loves best.
If you're looking for a smart and sweet pup to be your best buddy, smiley Stewie is the dog for you!

Trends Disrupting Loyalty: Paid Memberships
Today's customer wants preferential treatment and is willing to pay a premium for it. In a recent study, 37% of customers are willing to pay more for a tier that unlocks preferential benefits. This percentage increases when looking at younger generations segments: 47% for Gen Z and 46% for millennials. And we can see the benefits resulting from paid loyalty, with winning examples such as Amazon Prime.
There are many benefits to paid loyalty. Restoration Hardware (now RH) has seen 95% of its core business is driven by members who pay $100 annually for 25% savings on RH products and 10% savings on sales items, among other perks. Additionally, they've been able to level off on the usual peaks and valleys of seasonality and sales. RH has also reported an easing in operational challenges such as inventory, and while their competitors may be closing stores, RH is investing in high-end experiences sure to appeal to their customer base and retain the brick and mortar locations as a destination site. Competitors like Wayfair are starting to follow suit, although it's yet to be determined if their value proposition matches their premium loyalty fee in the same way.
Likewise, popular subscription models continue to grow, increasing more than 890% since 2014. Brands such as Ipsy, Blue Apron and Dollar Shave Club are capitalizing on consumer willingness to share data for a better or friction-free experience, and are able to use this data to personalize at scale. And not only do these types of memberships continue to attract and grow customers, but Dollar Shave Club's ingenuity in the subscription space retains more than 50% of customers after 12 months, and more than 25% after four years. Again, this is monthly incoming revenue that customers continue to pay after four years – a retention stat we imagine all brands would love to see.
While this model won't work for everyone, it could be a tactical strategy for many. The largest categories currently in the space are food and beauty, but creative marketers can see how a supplemental subscription model can benefit their brand.
To make these strategies work, customers need:
– an understanding of the value from your brand
– an ongoing realized value from your brand
– a desire or need for more convenience or willingness to pay a premium for friction-free experiences.
To make these strategies work, brands need:
– frequently (repeatedly purchased) products and/or services
– complicated purchases where an added subscription service removes friction
– premium priced items where a discount or added service provide true value for customers
Undoubtedly, there is plenty of room for leadership in this area. Some examples or considerations for launching a paid tier or subscription plan:
- Grocery: When the same items are purchased weekly or monthly, a brand could offer free pick up or delivery, or even have items pre-packaged for a premium fee
- Beauty: One of the biggest players in the subscription model, beauty still has room to grow. As lotions, makeup and facewashes all have predictable, limited life, subscription boxes of preferred items makes sense
- Hotels: IHG's loyalty program is $200 annually for perks such as an automatic room upgrade, free weekend night stay, welcome gift and more. Many luxury hotels are following this example in order to invest more in its highest value customers who desire preferential treatment
- Retail: Some retail brands already offer subscription services, such as Nordstrom's Trunk Club But they could also explore a paid loyalty tier for the right customer set. Lululemon, which has always had a strong cult following, is doing precisely this with their paid program in which members receive a free pair of pants, as well as popular workout experiences
In terms of paid programs, Aimia has seen much value from members who "pay to play." Members in a paid program spend on average 5 times more than members in a non-paid program and also make 3 times the number of trips over a non-paid member.
We're very interested in how paid loyalty and subscriptions will continue to develop. It's certainly not a silver bullet, but if the value proposition is right, the experience is frictionless, and the program is relevant, it could certainly be a significant source of incremental revenue for brands to continue to invest in their highest value customers.

How is the intake of sugar excessive, and does that apply to you? We tend to take this life a day at a time since the stress of it, family responsibilities and work demands take the lion's share of our focus. Eating often occurs hurriedly–a brief activity between tasks on our list.
To understand how excessive sugar has become in our everyday diets, look at the big picture. Consider the current annual intake per person with that of the past three centuries.The annual consumption of sugar per person in the 1700's was four pounds. Compare that to 2009. The average annual amount of sugar per person was 180 pounds. That percentage of increase is a whopping 4400%.*
Sugar is an ingredient in almost all processed foods that take up the center aisles of the grocery store and what you order in a fast food restaurant. Unless you are shopping with health in mind as your family's "quality control" food expert, chances are you've missed label reading 101. Take 10 minutes to scan the flour products, snacks, drinks (sodas, fruit juice, energy drinks), canned and frozen vegetables, canned fruits, nut butters, dairy products (ice cream, yogurt, etc.), processed meats, condiments and dessert items in your kitchen. It is rare to pick up any of these items and not see sugar or one of its other names in the list of ingredients. Often, you'll find two, three or four different names for sugar per item. The most common are high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, sucrose, sugar, maltodextrin, dextrose or any of 95 more names. Only when you consider the amount of this type of food you eat every single day, do you begin to see the big picture of sugar excess in the diet?
Let's be conservative and say if you're downing three cans of colas per day with an average of 15 teaspoons per can , you're getting around 45 teaspoons of sugar right there. Many teenagers average six cans per day or around 90 teaspoons! You won't notice teaspoons on the label; it will say grams. There are approximately 4.8 teaspoons of sugar per gram. Again, imagine the number of total grams in a day with all you've eaten in processed foods. It's a real eye opener. From that perception, move on to the alarming rise in the rate of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and obesity, all linked to increased sugar use. Of course it isn't excessive sugar one day and disease the next. But, it occurs over a period of time. In the interim, you may have more cavities, fatigue, mood swings, tight muscles, bloating, headaches, lightheadedness, more frequent colds and other infections, and a list of other symptoms indicating a body out of balance for good reason.
Sugar-linked disease is a topic commonly reported in news arenas. One such example is an article entitled, "Excess Sugar Linked To Cancer," which appeared February 1, 2013, in Science Daily. Three points stood out in the article: 1) High blood sugar is a known cause of diabetes and obesity, which in turn are linked to an increase in cancer risk. 2) According to epidemiological studies, the diabetic population has up to double chances to suffer pancreatic or colon cancer among others. 3) Scientists at University Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid have uncovered a key mechanism linking obesity and diabetes with cancer: high sugar levels, which increase activity of a gene widely implicated in cancer progression.
It's not as though the general populace is totally unaware of the harm caused by high sugar consumption. Here is a small sampling of book titles conveying this negative message: Sugar Blues, Sugar Nation, 21-day Sugar Detox, Salt Sugar Fat: How The Food Giants Hooked Us, Sweet Deception, Pure, White and Deadly: How Sugar Is Killing Us, and Suicide By Sugar. Poor health to a large degree is due to excess sugar and a chemical stew. There's a side of me that kicks in, having to put thoughts into rhyme. Summarizing the aforementioned thoughts, here it is off the top of my head:
Sugar-coated Epiphany
It's the 21st century. Now, what is this story?
Escalation of sugar use—details get gory.
18th century– one had 4 lbs. per year.
(That's 1-lb. less than (1) 5-lb. bag. Clear?
19th century– jumped to 18-lbs.
Or, 3-lbs. plus (3) 5-lb. bags. That astounds.
20th century brought 90 lbs. each–
(That's (18) 5-lb. bags. Quite a big reach!
2009? 180 lbs. in one year!
(Or, (36) 5-lb. bags— That's severe!
Sugar is found in most all processed foods
causing obesity; impacting moods.
Avoiding sugar is really a chore,
unless you read labels when you're at the store.
But it's not so simple, for I can recite
Over one hundred names that it goes by. That's right.
There's one out of four in 2014,
deaths caused by cancer on America's scene.
Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, too.
Sugar causes more than just these few.
Sugar feeds tumors research has shown
Candida loves sugar, makes symptoms full blown.
Check liver disease and premature aging,
Immune system lowers and brittle bones—raging.
The big concern is "refined and addictive".
They'll suggest artificial to be more restrictive.
These are even more toxic. Investigate, hear?
Brain and the nerves they'll devastate, dear.
What is the moral to this truly sad plight?
Become empowered to treat your body just right.
We're clearly ingesting what's become a bane.
Get balanced, in good health, your body re-train.
There's much to be learned, yet not out of your reach.
You can glean from a mentor who sure loves to teach.
You'll start where you are and strategically go
to a place of good health, with you in the know.
The time is now, don't deny or delay.
It is you who can make these changes today.
Make health a priority, it's priceless and rare,
Live your life fully! Show others you care.
In its natural state, sugar cane has nutrients in balance. Once it undergoes the refining process, these nutrients are stripped away, leaving virtually a highly-refined, dead food. Sugar Blues by William Duffy, published in 1975, updated 1986, is most enlightening as well as any of the other books mentioned in this article. They continue to shout out the warning of a diet too high in sugar.
* ( To calculate percentage of increase: 1) 180-4= 176. 2) 176 divided by 4= 44. 3) 44 x 100%= 4400%.)

From the Telegraph (UK)
Far-right leader slams BBC - IOL
More than a fifth of the public would consider voting for the British National Party, according to the first opinion poll taken since the appearance of its leader, Nick Griffin, on Question Time.
Support for the party has increased in the last month, a survey for The Daily Telegraph indicated.
The findings will lead to accusations that the BBC's decision to invite the far-Right MEP on to its flagship current affairs programme may have backfired by giving him a national platform.
The YouGov poll was taken hours after Mr Griffin's appearance on Thursday, before which anti-fascist protesters rioted outside BBC Television Centre in London.
The survey found that 22 per cent of voters would "seriously consider" voting for the BNP in a future local, general or European election. This included four per cent who said they would "definitely" consider voting for the party, three per cent who would "probably" consider it, and 15 per cent who said they were "possible" BNP voters.
Two-thirds said they would not consider voting for the party "under any circumstances" with the rest unsure.
Mr Griffin's performance, during which he was challenged about his views on the Holocaust, immigration, Islam and homosexuality, has divided the political establishment. Some senior figures criticised the BBC for inviting him on to the programme.
David Lammy, the Higher Education Minister and one of the first black men to serve in a British government, gave warning of a potential rise in racist and anti-Semitic attacks, saying he was "very worried about the days which will follow".
More than half of those questioned said they agreed with the BNP, or thought that it "had a point" in wishing to "speak up for the interests of the indigenous, white British people ... which successive governments have done far too little to protect."
This included 43 per cent who said that, while they shared some of its concerns, they had "no sympathy for the party itself".
Twelve per cent said they completely agreed with the BNP, while 38 per cent said they "disagree totally with the BNP's political outlook".
YouGov found that overall voter support for the party had risen from two to three per cent since last month.
The party claimed that 3,000 people had registered to sign up as members since Mr Griffin's Question Time appearance. The BBC is likely to face further questions if Mr Griffin's appearance results in a rise in racial assaults.
France's far-Right leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, praised the corporation for inviting the BNP to appear and predicted the party would enjoy a surge as a result.
In a vindication of the BBC's stance, however, the poll showed that nearly three quarters of the public supported the decision to invite Mr Griffin to appear, compared with 63 per cent when the same question was asked last week.
Labour encouraged mass immigration to help socially engineer a "multicultural" country and to try to "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair.
[How the BNP described the event: Throughout today a flood of public sympathy has been deluging our telephone and email systems. The BBC, Lib-Lab-Con and the media have truly turned the BNP into the obvious opposition to the political elite. The media have slammed the BNP in recent times for pretending to be the victims of political and media bias - thanks to the huge own goal of a stage-managed Question Time ambush they have, without a shadow of doubt, turned the BNP into the victims of British politics and the only party that is not afraid to say what everyone actually thinks.]

One in four Britons would now consider voting for BNP
From the Telegraph (UK)
4 Opinion(s):
Was interesting to watch how the
"oh so liberal and peaceloving " professional shitstirrers were bussed in before the event. I have seen this time and again in my life. Commie agitators at work supported by commie media.

Whatever your views on BNP and Nick Griffin, he was the ONLY panel member who didn't interrupt other speakers and behaved in a decent manner.
Nice one, Nick. You exposed the Leftist Liberal Loser Lackeys for what they are - scum of the earth.

Is it not ironic to see the left displaying such animal blood lust and hatred towards a minority? If they could get Griffin alone, without bodyguards, they would tear him limb from limb with their bare hands. Hate filled Hypocrites.

Eleventh Annual Homeschool Mom Retreat
This is a small group of close friends who gather together each June to spend several days away from internet, television, laundry and come together for fellowship, prayer and homeschool planning. There is no schedule to follow. Just time to sit and "be". As moms sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the day to day responsibilities.
This year was bittersweet as my precious friend Monica's daddy went home to be with Jesus while I was gone. Scotty called me and I was able to talk with her, but I was so sad that I wasn't local to hug her. (((Monica))) There is a picture below of my chair on the dock. That was where I went to pray for her and sat crying as I felt her pain. Thinking of her even tonight as I post this entry.
I missed my boys and was so thankful for my daily doses of conversation. (Big Smile) My Scott surprised me and came and picked me up so we could catch up on the drive home. I missed him.
(Sweet Sandy homeschool mom of FIVE spending time w/ Jesus)
This last picture is my favorite as it shows my favorite part of the whole weekend. Rain pouring down outside.... hitting a tin roof, cozy little lights, quiet time with the Lord.

Tour Guides at Ride the Ducks are incredible at their jobs not only because they're passionate about entertaining all of you, but they truly love the city of Seattle—really, they just can't get enough! Our Guides are always exploring and constantly on the look-out for new and exciting tidbits to share on their tours. In this enlightening blog series we call Duck Diaries, prepare to follow our Wacky Tour Guide's adventures and experiences around Seattle—plus get some tips written by none other than the pros themselves!
Meet Ellie Kopter- our enthusiastic Tour Guide who'll quack you up on land and water- but not in the air like her name suggests! Follow her to Theo Chocolates, where you can take a tour of their chocolate facroty and try endless flavors that will amaze you.
Theo Chocolates
My dad is a frequent visitor to Seattle, so I'm always trying to hunt down unique and cool experiences for us to do while he is visiting. We found that unique and awesome experience in the Theo Chocolate Factory tour!
Located in Fremont, just a few blocks west of our tour route, is the Theo Chocolate Factory. In the mornings when we leave the Duck Nest and head on up to the ticket booth, we can actually smell the chocolate being made, so I've been excited to check out the factory tour for a long time! The cost is just $10 per person for the regular chocolate tours. Children under 5 are not permitted on the regular chocolate tour, including infants in arms and strollers. If you have children under 5 or infants in your group, they do offer kids chocolate story time tours. The tour lasts approximately one hour. Because this is a factory, they do discourage wearing heavy scents, including perfumes and colognes.
The tour is pretty popular so they recommend you make reservations ahead of time on their website. We actually got on the waiting list and were able to get in on a day of tour!
The first half of the tour is kind of like a seated presentation. You get to learn about how cocoa beans are grown and processed and basically everything that happens to the chocolate before it becomes chocolate! What I loved is learning about Theo's organic and fair trade certifications and what that all means. After learning about the farms, the trees and the beans, we moved into the actual factory. You'll see different machinery in action depending on what is in operation the day you visit, and the tour guide shows videos that let you get an up close and personal view of the process. It was all very interesting and informative!
Then there were the samples. Lets be real, trying the chocolate was why we showed up. And they DELIVERED. The sheer amount of chocolate we got to try was worth the $10. We tried 5 different samples of completed chocolate before going into the actual factory. This included an 85% dark, one of the richest, and deliciously bitter chocolates I had ever tried. Once inside the actual factory, we got to try chocolate at different stages in the manufacturing process, including cocoa nibs! The tour ended in the gift shop, where we got to try two delicious confections. My favorite, a burnt sugar truffle. To top everything off, we got a nice discount so we could take some of our favorites home. I couldn't help but do a fair amount of my holiday shopping here.
Overall, the Theo Chocolate Factory tour was well worth my time and my money. Chocolate lovers will be in heaven. You just might find a new favorite chocolate!

I love to weave, to follow an idea through and make it happen by interweaving fibres, creating textures is very special. I am inspired by land and seascapes,colour, ancient cultures, stone marks and rock art. I have always been attracted to texture/ cloth and natural fibres leading me to spinning and creating my own yarns and then to using dyes from fungi. I now specialise in using dyes from mushrooms and this interest has taken me on many journeys across Australia,USA,Scandinavia, EU & Baltic countries opening up new pathways to creative interpretation.
In my weaving I tend to work intuitively exploring the weave and fibre/colour but always the progress of the weave is exciting.
I enjoy teaching tapestry weaving and provide a range of beginner /refresher; texture & design workshops. I will also give talks about my work and dyeing with fungi.
Open Studio – my studio in Balerno is open by appointment. Balerno is a small village below the Pentlands to the west side of Edinburgh.

Are you sure the mech is sitting correctly in the case?

Re: Several allwins on ebay
The upper of the two 5 Wins has parts missing (coin entry and ball release, for starters) and the lower one has had a new base and an ugly 1D sign stuck over the token entry slot. The owner claimed it was 'totally original' but never replied when I queried his description.

I fully agree with the previous posts...a very expensive option for such a basic bandit. I've done loads of these, turned from rusty piles of crap to shiny boys toys in a couple of days max. They are so easy to work on, and parts easy to find. Can't be bothered any more, not a challenge for me.

Re: Jennings plastic inserts
I'd support the polishing over the plating option. Some of these early castings were done using aircraft alloy, rather than the usual 'pot' ali, which makes DIY polishing much harder, ( which is why there was a sudden upsurge in orders to Germany from the factories, just before WW2).

Here's our Hydrangea bush. Like all of our flowers this season, it is slow to bloom but it is finally starting to show some color.
Our Hibiscus is doing well this year after it was attacked by aphids last year. Mom moved it to a different spot on our porch and it likes the new spot very much!
Our Rose Geranium is looking good. Mom is not a big Geranium fan but she likes this one because it smells like roses and needs very little upkeep.
This is Valerian, which is also called Neptune's Beard. It grows like a weed here and volunteers all over our yard. We like it because it attracts butterflies. Mom has not yet tried to dry the roots, which is the part of the plant that cats (like us!) love.
Here is our "Hot Lips" Salvia. It's another plant that the butterflies and hummingbirds love. It's doing very well this year. Mom fed it with fish emulsion. Boy, she sure did smell yummy when she came back in the house that day!
We hope you enjoyed our garden stroll today friends! Don't forget to visit all the other Feline Gardeners today.

Boardwalk Empire Episode 9 Recap: Van Alden Halts The Invevitable
Last week in Episode 8 of Boardwalk Empire, it was a turning point for Nucky when his brother Eli was shot following a casino robbery. He may have been out to Chicago for "political business" but the underlying reason is that he wanted Jimmy back.
In Episode 9 entitled "Belle Femme" it leads to some major drama with Jimmy back in town. It always seems that chaos and calamity follows Jimmy wherever he goes.
Nucky Wants Jimmy To Do the Deed
Jimmy is back in Atlantic City and has one modest request for Nucky and that he bring Richard Harrow (the sniper) into the fold. Nucky acquiesces. Jimmy also makes it a point to tell Nucky that he "is a murderer" foremost as much as he tries to embody the body and soul of a politician. He makes him say in his words that he wants to kill the D'Allesio brothers and Lucky Luciano who have been creating havoc in AC and even "the kid."
Jimmy's Mom Has Lucky Cornered...Literally
Jimmy's mom is hanging out with Lucky and in walks Jimmy. The jig is up and Lucky has been played. Jimmy marches him out of the room to his inevitable execution. Just when we think that Lucky will get his comeuppance, in walks Van Alden and his partner. Jimmy is in deep you know what and facing murder charges. Suddenly it wouldn't feel so bad to be back out in Chi-town with Al Capone.
Van Alden Has Really Lost It
Van Alden is interrogating Jimmy and his obsession with Margaret Schroeder has reached the boiling point - to the point that he asks Jimmy if Nucky is hooking up with her. Jimmy eloquently asks, "you want to know who Nucky is f****ing?" Van Alden is your prototypical "scumbag" in this series, but don't worry about Van Alden being the villain for very long. Clearly - Van Alden is a lunatic and it's a matter of time before he'll bring himself down.
Jimmy Gets Off The Hook With Help From An Insider
Nucky visits Jimmy down in the slammer and assures him that things will be taken care of; it just won't involve the legal system. Turns out that Van Alden's partner Agent Sebso is an insider. When he's transporting the snitch to a safe haven he promptly shoots him dead and bashes himself in the head with a rock to make it look like a legit "hit." Alas, the one guy who could testify against Jimmy is taken out.
Rothstein Has Himself Some Cannon Fodder For His Scotch Smuggling Operation
The D'Alessio Brothers, Lansky, Lucky, and Micky Doyle pay Rothstein a visit at his apartment. He says there are two ways to make money off the liquor trade. One is to water down the product, which he wants no part of. And, the other is to get in on the booming scotch trade. He wants to set up a business to import scotch and have boats with crews waiting outside the 3-mile limit so all they need to do is smuggle it on land. At this point Nucky is unwilling to work with him so he needs some outside help. They agree to sign off on their life insurance policies. Basically it's a foregone conclusion that they are nothing more than cannon fodder for Rothstein.
Nucky Stares Death in the Face Twice
Nucky visits his mentor the Commodore who is dying rapidly. He doesn't want a reformer to run for Mayor. Nucky finds another man to run. Finally, Nucky escapes an attempted hit by "the kid" when he's out with Margaret. Fortunately, both he and Margaret escape death. The same can't be said for the poor women who was in the line of fire.
Ultimately, Van Alden is simply just halting what will inevitably happen and that's a bloodbath of mythical proportions. There are just three episodes left in Season One and lots of blood letting is going to ensue. Not to spoil things, but don't expect Arnold Rothstein to get whacked. In reality he didn't die until 1928 and Boardwalk started at the beginning of prohibition in 1920. So Rothstein has some years to live yet!
Watch Boardwalk Empire every Sunday night at 9 P.M. on HBO.

A look at Labour's education plan
Labour leader David Cunliffe pulled the covers off Labour's shiny new education policy at the recent Labour Party Congress. With Education spokesman Chris Hipkins on his right shoulder and Deputy Leader David Parker on his left, he promised Labour will invest $873 million into education over the next four years. This includes smaller class sizes and more teachers, subsidised netbooks for all students, and initiatives to promote expertise-sharing among schools.
It's a mega-policy—Labour clearly cares about better educational outcomes for our children. It's also a smart election year move. Education consistently ranks among voters' most important issues, and National's been able to gain some traction in it recently. But will Labour's policy improve student's outcomes?
Labour's promised to reduce class sizes. This follows some evidence that smaller class sizes help improve student outcomes. But will reducing classes by three students on average really make much of a difference? National's made the point that teacher quality is more important than reducing class sizes. Yes, there's evidence for this as well, but in an ideal world, we'd have smaller classes in our schools and we'd have high quality teaching. Labour has tried to capture this by also promising to enhance teacher quality through "pre-screening" teacher training and a "school advisory service" that offers professional development opportunities.
Labour's promised to subsidise netbooks for every student in Years 5 to 13. Again, there's evidence that computers can help enhance student learning. But there's also evidence that the same principles of learning with no computer apply with a computer. The computer is merely a device the teacher can use to improve student's learning. That's why it's important teachers know how to use computers to good effect. Labour seems to understand this by investing $25 million into teachers' professional development.
Labour's promised to share expertise among schools. Spreading expertise is an idea that's had success both here (within some school clusters) and overseas. It's also the principle that underlies National's "Investing in Educational Success" policy. The operational aspects of each party's policy will look different, certainly, but improving leadership and teaching lies at the heart of both.
Overall, Labour's promised big things and pledged big money. But questions linger, as often with policy. Is the cost to the taxpayer accurate and is it too high? Will Labour's technology policies produce benefits over and above what National is already doing through its 21st Century Learning initiative? Some may answer "yes" to both of these questions, others "no." But of course an informed response can really only follow with the passage of time; it'll be interesting to see how the policy unfolds in our schools if Labour get the opportunity.
In any case, it's encouraging to see some overlap between the parties on the importance of school leadership and teaching, and the common, general focus on what many of us care about—education.

Hi to all beatboxers!
I'm a PhD Student at Integra Lab, Birmingham City University (UK). My research is focused on the design and development of an application for mobile devices and Myo armband, which allows beatboxers to spatialise their vocal's sounds through already learnt gestures.
Below you find a video clip realised during tests to explore the Myo armband capabilities.
During the last year my work has already been published and presented in various conferences: ICAD (Austria), CUK (UK), MTFScandi (Sweden), MTFCentral (Slovenia), RESCON14 (UK), RESCON15 (UK), Royal College of Music (UK) and the software developed through the gained knowledge has been used for Contemporary music performances at Frontiers Festival (UK), electroAQustica (Italy), EmuFest (Italy).
I'm currently designing a new application, which will be able to sample and loop and process beatboxers' vocal sounds using gestural control.
To do so, I'm gathering data and ideas through looking at performances and published interviews. Unfortunately, there is hardly any material concerning this topic on the internet; thus, I need to collect such info from you guys.
To do so, I'm looking forward to interviewing you!
If you are keen to give your contribution or support my work, please email me at: email@example.com or sign up here.
For more info about myself and work, have a look at the other pages and blog posts published on my website. If you wish, you can also watch some more videos on my YouTube and Vimeo channel.

Smyzer and Blyde
is an action comic with a very, very graphic style, the likes of which I haven't seen before. It seems to rely on the shapes of the areas of light and shadow to create depth, maybe moreso than line, and it's really sharp and intense, which definitely goes with the story it's telling (It's sharp and intense :D). Very fast-paced. And it's a good read, you get pulled in pretty quickly. From the beginning you know there's something going on. So go read it!

In the realities of the modern world, when the natural habitat is rapidly disappearing and the number of imperiled plants is constantly growing, ex situ conservation is gaining importance.
Restoration projects that support pollinators are becoming increasingly popular. Pollinating insects require resources, including nectar and pollen, throughout the growing season.
In 2012, more than two million acres of important sage-brush habitat burned in four Western States.
Native plant communities are key to ecosystem health, resiliency, and productivity.
Complete and accurate plant records are a defining feature of arboreta and botanic gardens.
Recent estimates indicate that one-fifth of botanical species worldwide are considered at risk of becoming extinct in the wild.
Impacts of global climate change, habitat loss, and other environmental changes on the world's biota and peoples continue to increase, especially on islands and in high elevation areas.
As multidisciplinary institutions at the interface between people and plants, botanic gardens are prime centres for botanical research and plant conservation.
This handbook provides guidelines for the maintenance of standardized plant records at Welkinweir.
The purpose of the Denver Botanic Gardens' 2017 Collections Management Policy is to ensure that the living collections are well managed, now and into the future.

When the scandal broke about two foreign language teachers tongue wrestling in a classroom last week, students at James Madison High School learned a lot, but it wasn't all sex ed.
They also learned how a rumor could spread like wildfire and, if it's spicy enough, end up on the cover of a major city tabloid whether they approve or not.
A quick read of the Facebook page "The Infamous Ms. Brito Rumor" — a digital depot of comments, rants about French teacher Cindy Mauro, 33, of Bay Ridge and Spanish teacher Alini Brito, 29, of Queens and their moment of passion while students took part in a singing competition in the Bedford Avenue school's auditorium — shows that students were conflicted about the rumor going too far.
Many of the commentators blamed the scandal on the creator of the Facebook page, who in turn blamed the New York Daily News, which broke the story.
"To the Daily News: Thanks a lot a**holes for giving our great school a bad name, ruining and affecting the lives of both students and teachers, and taking this way out of proportion," wrote the still unnamed administrator of the Facebook page. "I hope the news media is proud of itself."
"Our purpose was just to discuss the rumor as Madison students and now its spread even outside of NYC," the administrator continued. "Now the media has impacted their lives and has portrayed this group as 'THE BAD GUY.' We don't nor ever did wish to harm anyone."
But if loose lips sink ships, loose Internet chat can flatten mountains and, possibly in this case, ruin careers.
While the Facebook page was designed to giggle over how Mauro and Brito were suspended after a school janitor claimed to have caught them undressed and engaging in a sex act back on November 20, it soon became so popular that non-students and reporters began visiting it.
The rumors reported in "The Infamous Ms. Brito Rumor" soon became tabloid news, to the chagrin of many students.
"This group's purpose was to destroy and ruin two lives and you have accomplished this already. Good job," wrote student Andrew You. "Harm has already been done and your hands are covered with blood. Good job."
Yet reporters didn't stop at Brito and Mauro. They soon found that a third teacher, 31-year-old Allison Musacchio, may have had a relationship with a student. Investigators discovered that 200 text messages were sent between the teacher and students over the past few months.
"This page is not to blame!!!" wrote Matt Martin. "[The] media blows everything up! Especially in the Tri state area."
"All comments like 'media evil,' 'media out of hand,' 'media to blame,' are WRONG," countered commentator Trip Nesbitt. "I think this is what we call a 'teaching moment' (if you'll pardon the pun) for all the kids at JMHS. Capitalism and a free press are defining characteristics of our society. If you don't like it, move to the Middle East or Asia. If you want to live in the "free world," accept that this is the system we have, and learn to not run your mouths about titillating gossip if you don't want to find it repeated — possibly world-wide."
Department of Education (DOE) officials said that all three teachers have been suspended and reassigned to other duties within the district.
The DOE was still investigating the allegations against Brito and Mauro — which the two teachers vehemently deny — as this paper went to press, noted spokesperson Margie Feinberg.
The United Federation of Teachers had nothing to say about the scandal, other than noting that no charges have been filed against either teacher.
"The investigation is still underway," a spokesperson said.
But it seems that both teachers have been tried in the court of public opinion. Students, in turn, are starting to feel bad about their plight.
A commentator noted that one of the two teachers was suffering from depression now that their alleged indiscretions have been made quite public.
"She's too embarrassed to come to the school," the scribe wrote.
Others just expressed their shock over what happened.
"I had Ms. Mauro as a teacher for three and a half years," wrote Sabih Ahmadwerd. "[She was a] great teacher and great person, but when I heard this I was like…wow. Honestly it doesn't matter what the teachers do but they must have been smoking some good sh** if they thought they could do something like that in the school and expect to get away with it."
As this paper went to press, it seemed that the administrator had taken down the Facebook page, apparently learning a lesson that the DOE already has down pat.
"We don't discuss rumors," DOE spokesperson Feinberg said, when asked to comment on the Facebook page.

Great article and couldn't agree more. We are 4th in the UEFA
club rankings which is surely as high as we have ever been. It
does feel like if arsenal won the quadruple without losing a
game then many fans would complain that they they should
have not conceded a goal and wenger should be sacked! I
suppose these fans are newer and have not gone through
decades without anything?
I would add though that united are also a model club and run
extremely well. Their debt has nothing to do with SAF
spending. It's a LBO (leverage buyout). The glaziers borrowed
lots of money to buy united. Once they owned it, they
transferred the debt on to united's books, so in effect united
borrowed lots of money to make glaziers their owners. That is
the debt. This was done with the help of arsenal supporters
who had bought lots of united shares when there was a
bidding war over united, and they wonderfully sold their
significant holdings to Glazier, making a big profit and
leaving united with a massive debt. Now that's a good
supporter doing his bit. Though this was just as much about
a horse which cost the same as united but that's another
story 🙂

Food is meant to feed us, not give us pleasure. Originally we ate to survive and to be able to procreate. We ate to get energy so that we could remain active, which enabled us to do things. That was the only purpose of food, so people focused on productive activities instead of battling with the difficult decision of what kind of flavoured crisps they were going to eat next. The food our ancestors ate was what was available in the environment, so choice was limited but it was however very nutritious. Once in a while they would come across...

Summer School Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will hopefully find the answers to any question you may have about the Summer School from 'How do I apply?' to 'Where will I be staying?'. If you don't find the answer you are looking for please email us and we will respond as soon as possible.
Do I need to be an experienced literary translator to attend?
The answer is no you do not need to be an experienced literary translator to attend. The Summer School attracts a wide variety of people from across the world with varied experiences. Some may just be exploring literary translation whereas others may be more established literary translators that have already published work. Some may do literary translation as a hobby whereas others are more serious about establishing a career in literary tranlsation - it is a real mix.
I have already published a translation, is the Summer School still relevant to me?
As the answer above stresses, the Summer School attracts a wide variety of people from newcomers to the more established literary translators. Each person that attends will take something away from the week, whether it be knowledge of the industry, strategies for certain translation challenges, contacts, friends...the list goes on. The Summer School is open to all levels of experience.
How do I apply?
Visit our 'How to Apply' page on the website for details of how to make an application.
If I apply am I guaranteed a place on the course?
The BCLT Summer School has been running for over 20 years and is a popular Summer School with a very good reputation. Therefore, some of our workshops can be oversubscribed. This is why we ask applicants to choose a first and second preference if that is possible for them and their interests. If your application is not successful on this occasion we are always happy to provide feedback. If a workshop is oversubscribed we work with the workshop leader to try to create a group that we feel will work well together based on the information from your application. We contact all applicants after the deadline to state whether your application has been succesful. It is at that point that we will send you a link to book onto and pay for the course in full.
What do the literary translation workshops involve?
The core activity of the week is the literary translation workshops, led by experienced literary translators and/or editors, working from a range of languages into English. During these sessions the participants work on a consensus translation of one particular text. In a majority of the workshops the author is present to talk about his or her work, answer questions and contribute to the translation process. This year languages on offer are Danish, Dutch and French (plus another TBC). The focus is on the process, rather than the end product. While each group is expected to come up with a consensus translation at the end of the week, it doesn't really matter how much or how little text is actually translated. What is important is that, as a group, you really think about the possibilities, and engage with your workshop leader, author and one another in a creative, collaborative exercise.
For translators working from other languages, we will be running two multilingual workshops, one for prose and one for theatre. These will be for translators working from any language into English.
All the workshops are designed to encourage collaboration and peer learning.
What do the creative writing workshops involve?
The Tuesday and Thursday mornings begin with creative writing workshops for all delegates, developing different creative writing skills for translators. The whole cohort are divided between two tutors. These sessions are designed to help literary translators focus on themselves as creative writers and take a practical, exercise-based, rather than a theoretical approach.
Where do the workshops take place?
All of the workshops take place in the Enterprise Centre on campus at University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK, famed for being the 'Greenest building in the UK'.
Do we have any free time to explore Norwich?
Wednesday afternoon and evening is kept free for participants to explore Norwich city centre and the surrounding area if they would like to. Find out more about what Norwich has to offer.
What happens on the final celebratory afternoon and evening and do I need to wear formal dress?
On the Friday afternoon each group gets to present their weeks' work to the whole Summer School. It is a wonderful celebratory afternoon and is always great fun. We will also present each attendee with a certificate for taking part in the Summer School. This is all followed by a drinks reception and some food and wine. Participants are not required to wear formal dress.
Are any bursaries available to me?
We occasionally have bursaries available to participants of the Summer School. More details can be found on the dedicated 'Bursaries' page. It is also worth investigating other sources of funding that might be available to you in your home country, such as Arts Council grants or funding provided by your relevant embassy, college or university.
If I choose the residential package what is included?
The 2020 residential package is £700 and includes all tuition, accommodation for 6 nights on the beautiful UEA campus in a single en-suite room, breakfast, morning and afternoon refreshments, lunch and dinner. There will be a mixture of dinners, including buffets, possibly a BBQ and a closing event with wine. Wednesday will be a free afternoon and evening where afternoon refreshments and evening dinner are not included. Note that accommodation is in university student halls of residence on campus. The accommodation is therefore basic, but very comfortable and in a convenient location.
If I choose the non-residential package what is included?

There will be an option to book onto other evening meals if you would like to attend them - this will come at an extra cost.

If I am a non-residential participant can I attend the evening meals?
There will be an option to book onto evening meals on the Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings if you would like to attend them - this will come at an extra cost. However the opening drinks reception and meal on the Sunday evening is included and also the closing celebratory event is included.

How to Pay Student Loans with Credit Card
How to Pay Student Loans with Credit Card.
How to Pay Student Loans with Credit Card – A Mastercard balance exchange for a student is conceivable and could be a keen move for you. Nonetheless, it's not as straightforward as exchanging adjusts between Visas. Pursue this manual for play out a student equalization exchange to a zero-intrigue Visa — and ensure you're really ending up as a winner simultaneously.
Step by step instructions to exchange an understudy advance to a zero-intrigue charge card
Basically, an equalization exchange for a student uses reserves given by your Mastercard guarantor to satisfy your understudy obligation.
Be that as it may, the real procedure can be somewhat confounded. Here's a review of the means engaged with an understudy credit balance exchange.
1. Get the correct zero-intrigue charge card
By and large, Mastercards convey higher rates than most customers pay on student credits. So a student equalization exchange to a charge card possibly bodes well in case you're moving the obligation to a Mastercard with a 0% starting APR and satisfying the parity before that introduction period is up.
Be that as it may, few out of every odd charge card guarantor enables cardholders to perform balance exchanges for understudy advances. As indicated by WalletHub, the accompanying charge card backers permit understudy credit balance exchanges:
- Bank of America
- Barclaycard
- Capital One
- Citi
- Find
- PenFed
- U.S. Bank
- Wells Fargo
- SunTrust Bank
Invest some energy shopping and contrasting charge cards with discover one that offers both understudy advance parity exchanges and 0% APRs for a starting period. You ought to likewise search for cards that don't have or will postpone balance exchange expenses. When you discover one you like, you can apply for the Mastercard. Upon endorsement, you're prepared for the subsequent stage.
2. Demand an understudy credit balance exchange
The following stage will be to utilize your new 0% charge card to satisfy your understudy credit. Your credit limit may put a top on the amount you can obtain to use for an understudy advance equalization exchange. To boost investment funds, be key and focus on the understudy advance with the most astounding financing cost.
- Make sense of the equalization exchange sum you need to get and use to reimburse your understudy obligation. Be prepared with the equalization exchange add up to demand.
- Have understudy credit data close by, for example, your understudy advance servicer and record number. The Visa organization may require this data to process the equalization exchange and pay off your old advance.
- Next, connect with your charge card backer and confirm their procedure for giving parity exchanges for understudy advances. They can layout how to approach asking for an equalization exchange and utilizing it to satisfy an understudy credit.
- Check with your student advance servicer ensure they will acknowledge a check from your Visa organization. Contingent upon how your Visa guarantor handles understudy advance parity exchanges, they may pay out these assets specifically to your understudy advance servicer; you'll need to make certain they will process the installment from a Visa organization.
As a rule, you will utilize an equalization exchange check from your charge card backer to finish the procedure. These work like ordinary checks, however as opposed to being fixing to a ledger, they draw assets from your charge card account.
These assets are paid out to you or your understudy moneylender. Many Mastercard guarantors can likewise total this procedure on the web or by telephone.
As you push ahead in this procedure, ensure you're not stirring up a loan with a parity exchange. The two offers can be worded likewise, yet a loan frequently has higher charges and expenses related with it.
3. Use assets to reimburse understudy advances
After you ask for the equalization exchange, the exchange will process and post. Ensure you get a receipt of installment from the understudy credit balance exchange to demonstrate your understudy advance servicer got the assets.
On the other hand, the parity exchange assets may be stored straightforwardly into your financial balance. Endeavor to quickly utilize these assets as an installment toward your understudy obligation. Try not to give the cash a chance to sit in your record, where you'll just be enticed to spend it.
4. Reimburse your charge card balance before the 0% APR terminates
When the assets from your parity exchange have satisfied your understudy obligation, it's a great opportunity to reimburse your new Mastercard balance — and quick.
On the off chance that regardless you have an equalization after the 0% APR lapses, you'll likely face a higher rate than you had on your understudy credits. Mastercard rates are regularly around 15% APR or higher. Any funds you may have foreseen by having an intrigue free card could rapidly be undermined by new, higher intrigue charges.
Tirelessly pay additional on your charge card every month. Furthermore, ensure you put it aside and don't add new buys to the parity, either.
Pros and cons of a student credit balance exchange
Presently you realize how to approach getting a Visa balance exchange for an understudy credit. Yet, is this a savvy move for you? Here are some potential advantages, downsides, and different contemplations you ought to weigh before choosing.
Save money on understudy credit premium
The most evident advantage of an understudy advance parity exchange to a 0% APR Mastercard is the reserve funds on intrigue. The amount you could spare will rely upon the equalization you need to exchange and how high your understudy advance rate is.
Possibly you have a $10,000 understudy advance at 6% APR that is simply entering reimbursement. Exchanging the parity to a 0% Visa and paying it off in a year would spare you $3,322 in enthusiasm, over a 10-year Standard Repayment Plan.
Be that as it may, what might you spare on the off chance that you satisfied the credit in a year without the equalization exchange? You'd in any case pay some intrigue — yet very little. Paying the $937 every month it would take to satisfy the $10,000 balance in a year, you'd pay $302 in enthusiasm (sparing $3,021).
When choosing whether you ought to complete an understudy advance equalization exchange to a charge card with 0% APR or prepay your understudy credit, the funds are there. In any case, they probably won't be as steep as you're anticipating.
Keep yourself propelled to satisfy obligation
Another potential advantage of utilizing an understudy advance parity exchange is that doing as such can keep you inspired to rapidly satisfy a huge piece of understudy obligation. The period that you have a 0% APR on the charge card is the main time you can reimburse the obligation without bringing about more intrigue expenses.
With the lapse of your 0% rate approaching, you have a due date to move in the direction of. This can keep you responsible and restrained as you progress in the direction of reimbursing obligation. Escaping obligation frequently boils down to evolving practices, so this advantage can be amazing.
Parity exchange expense
You'll additionally need to represent an equalization exchange expense. Most Visas will charge this expense, which is more often than not around 3 percent of the parity exchange sum.
Take the $10,000 understudy credit balance referenced previously. On the off chance that your Visa charged a 3 percent equalization exchange expense, you'd pay $300. That clears out a major lump of your investment funds.
Search for Visas that don't charge an equalization exchange expense. For example, the Barclaycard Ring has no equalization exchange or yearly expenses. Furthermore, it conveys a 0% APR for the initial 15 months for parity moves made in the initial 45 days.
In the event that that is impossible, you can generally call your Visa guarantor and request that they forgo or decrease the parity exchange expense.
Exchanging a high parity can be dangerous
Exchanging a high equalization implies you're stuck sending immense installments every month in the event that you need to finish before time runs out on your 0% basic rate. This can rapidly eat into your income and may be more difficult than you anticipate.
Furthermore, you'll have to fit the bill for a sufficiently high credit limit to try and utilize this methodology.
What's more, regardless of whether you have, say, a $15,000 credit limit on your new card, you likely shouldn't go through everything with a parity exchange. Obtaining excessively against this limit could build your credit usage proportion excessively, which may antagonistically influence your FICO rating.
On the off chance that you need to satisfy understudy advances with this system, ensure the equalization exchange sum is 30 percent or not exactly your all out credit limit. For example, that would be about $5,000 of as far as possible.
Consider understudy credit renegotiating
With an understudy credit balance exchange, the 0% loan cost is a major draw. Be that as it may, it can likewise accompany bothers like looking for precisely the correct charge card or planning with your understudy credit servicer. What's more, you'll need to drive yourself to make huge installments every month to remain in front of the lapse date on the 0% APR.
There may be a superior method to save money on understudy advance enthusiasm: Refinancing your understudy advance with a private loan specialist rather than a charge card.
The best understudy credit renegotiating loan specialists offer rates as low as 1.95%. Furthermore, you're probably not going to confront costs like a 3 percent parity exchange expense or a 15 percent loan fee climb after an early on rate lapses. You can likewise pick a more drawn out reimbursement period to keep regularly scheduled installments reasonable.
Utilize this understudy credit renegotiating adding machine to perceive how extraordinary financing costs and advance terms would influence your advantage expenses and regularly scheduled installments.
In any case, there are a few drawbacks to look for. You'll have to ensure both your Mastercard organization and understudy credit servicer permit this exchange. You ought to likewise invest some energy ascertaining the potential reserve funds of having premium free obligation for the early on period. What's more, think about whether costs like parity exchange charges may counterbalance funds.
Generally, on the off chance that you set aside the opportunity to locate the correct minimal effort charge card and fork over the required funds previously your 0% APR lapses, you could beat the competition.
