"As adults, we do know more, but we don't know enough. People can be very unthinkingly callous." Dennis Potter (1935-1994, info link)
Is your heating contractor certified, educated and licensed for their trade?
What a customer expects and what they get from their boiler engineer or heating technician may be entirely different from the quality and safety they actually get. It has been known that most consumers do not know much about the mechanics of their furnace, water heater, or any other household appliance including their cooling air conditioner.
Precisely stated then, the customer must trust the company and the technician they have chosen to install, service or troubleshoot the brand of the specified system. This applies to residential as well as commercial customers. The company and all of their employees must keep up with changes in technologies, requirements for testing & verifications, educational opportunities and expanded professional affiliations for growth and support of the business. This also means continuing education for their trade and profession.
Regarding combustion appliances, the company technician at minimum should acquire credentialed and continuous education regarding the equipment they will be charged with; this includes having the instrumentation to conduct the measureable tests required to verify the safe and efficient operation of combustion systems described as Category I, Category II, Category III, or Category IV that utilizes natural gas, propane, fuel oil or other combustible fuels. Companies that resist certification and permits are not saving their customers money. They generally end up costing them more, sometimes their lives.
In addition to knowing the performance mechanics of the combustion systems they are working on, these technicians must understand building pressure dynamics and how to measure these pressures, as they can influence the safe and efficient operation of the system. We do not want the building make our equipment underperform the expectations by generating, through construction or mechanical means, opposing pressures that restrict combustion air or exhaust gas performance. If you do not understand this discussion, get busy and start learning about it. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Welcome to a new school year at Aki Kurose Middle School!
The best way to reach me is by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
I am in the nurse's office Monday-Friday from 8:30am-4:00pm
Medication at School
An Authorization to Administer Medications at School form must be completed each year for medication your student will/may need at school and school camps. This includes all prescription and over-the-counter medications and remedies (Ibuprofen, Tylenol, anti-itch cream, etc.). An authorization form is also required for students to self-carry and self-administer any medications at school.
This form can be found at the school office or Seattle Public Schools website at: https://www.seattleschools.org/departments/health_services/forms/. (The form is available in English, Amharic, Chinese, Somali, Spanish and Vietnamese.)
Wellness Center
In addition to the school nurse, we are fortunate to have a clinic at school with a Nurse Practitioner and Mental Health Counselor. This clinic is run by Kaiser Permanente and is available for all students at Aki Kurose regardless of their insurance or ability to pay. Once your child signs up they can access clinic services for the duration of their time at Aki Kurose. I am attaching a copy of the registration form.
Flu Shots
Flu shots are important to keep all our students and teachers safe and healthy throughout the school year. A flu vaccine can: keep you from getting the flu, make flu less severe if you do get it and keep you from spreading the flu to others.
Vision and Hearing Screenings
Vision and hearing screenings are typically done in the fall. If your child does not pass the basic hearing or vision screening at school, I will send a letter home, stating the need for further evaluation by their primary care provider or an eye care professional.
Being fully immunized is important to keep all our students and staff safe and healthy. Some immunizations are required for continued attendance at school. Non-compliant students may be excluded.
Seattle Public Schools uses the Washington state Immunization Information System (WAIIS) to track a student's compliance. You may register with WAIIS to have access to your child's immunization information.
When Should Your Child Stay Home from School?
It is our goal for students to attend classes every day school is in session! However, there are times when students need to stay home for their own health and the health and safety of others.
Below are some guidelines to help you decide when to keep students at home:
Missing school
If your student is absent from school, please report the reason for the absence to the Aki Kurose office staff.
Important Reminder: Washing hands with soap and water is the most effective way to stop the transmission of germs and reduce illnesses and reactions to allergens! Please review this with your child and be a good role model.
Please contact me if you have questions, concerns.
Meredith Lirman, RN BSN
School Nurse, Aki Kurose Middle School

You need not purchase a health club membership or costly food regimen program to drop extra pounds. All it's essential to do is have a plan and stick with it. First off, make the choice that you will train each day. You'll be able to mix cardiovascular and weight coaching into one train, or you are able to do cardio on at some point and weight coaching on the subsequent day. For cardiovascular train, you possibly can go bike using, energy strolling, working, curler skating, or become involved in a really bodily sport. Good sports activities for cardio train can be basketball, racquetball, tennis or soccer. Swimming can also be an awesome train for each cardiovascular and weight coaching because it tones your muscle tissue.
To your weight coaching workout routines, you as soon as once more don't must spend some huge cash. You should purchase a set of hand weights for lower than twenty {dollars} to get you began. They'll most likely be enough for fairly some time because it does take time to construct each power and endurance. It is necessary to not skip the load coaching as a result of it's going to put you prone to dropping muscle weight, which can make you weaker. A typical false impression is that weight coaching will result in seen muscle mass. Belief me; you'll not flip right into a physique builder over evening.
Be taught what meals it's best to keep away from consuming, and keep away from them. Usually talking, it's best to keep away from consuming deep-fried meals, processed meals, meals containing refined sugar like baked sweets, chocolate, white bread, and something that comes smothered in cheese (i.e. smothered cheese fries). Give attention to maintaining a healthy diet meals like recent fruits, raw greens, entire grains breads, brown rice, lean meats and fish. Be sure you eat a mixture of proteins (meat) and carbohydrates (pasta and breads).
For the most effective weight reduction outcomes, it's best to cease consuming two or three meals a day, and attempt to eat six meals a day. Consuming extra typically will assist cease you from overeating since you will not really feel extraordinarily hungry while you sit down. You also needs to make a conscience effort to drink a minimum of 8 – Eight oz. glasses of water every day. The water will assist forestall bloating and hold all of your programs working easily. Now this plan will not work over evening. You must stick with the plan for a minimum of eight weeks earlier than making a choice on its effectiveness. Keep in mind the fundamentals and hold it easy. Weight reduction doesn't have to be overly sophisticated.

|The top Vietnamese enterprises are creating prosperity on their journey to the top
In the Forbes list of the richest billionaires in the world in 2019, Vietnam boasted five slots on the list, the biggest being Vingroup chairman Pham Nhat Vuong.
Vuong, said to hold a total asset value of $6.6 billion, is ranked 239th, higher than US President Donald Trump ($3.1 billion), former CEO of Uber Travis Kalanick ($5.8 billion), and many globally-famous figures.
This is the seventh consecutive year Vuong has been named on the Forbes list. Last year, his total assets were valued at $4.3 billion, making him the 499th richest person at the time.
Second in Vietnamese terms is Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, general director of Vietjet, who has been named for the third time on the Forbes ranking. Thao holds a total asset value of $2.3 billion and is now ranked 1,008th.
THACO chairman Tran Ba Duong made his second appearance, placing 1,349th with total asset value of $1.7 billion. The two new Vietnamese billionaires as cited by Forbes are Ho Hung Anh, chairman of Techcombank ($1.7 billion and placed 1,349th), and Masan chairman Nguyen Dang Quang ($1.3 billion and ranked 1,717th).
Tran Dinh Long, chairman of Hoa Phat Group listed by Forbes last year, does not appear in the 2019 edition, but in the real-time list of the magazine, Long's existing assets are valued by Forbes at around $1 billion.
These Vietnamese billionaires show that though Vietnam remains a developing nation, its private economic sector has been growing spectacularly. Their strong development has been partly thanks to the government's business-friendly policies, and that Vietnam's law system has been made more favourable for enterprises.
However, the success of major groups such as Vingroup and THACO, or many other big enterprises like Vinamit, Tan Tan, TH, and Thanh Thanh Cong has been made by specific individuals.
These are enterprising businesspeople who have used their own business and investment methods to drive their enterprises forwards, through novel values and innovation.
They have one thing in common: instead of trying to joining global value chains via co-operation with foreign-invested enterprises, they developed their businesses on their own strengths. After their businesses have grown strongly enough, they then established investment chains which later became magnets to other enterprises.
This fact is manifesting the increasing growth of Vietnamese enterprises, and also mirroring their big responsibility in making the country more affluent.
National pride
Almost all major enterprises in Vietnam's private economic sector are trying to make themselves the focus of national pride through the improvement of the material and mental life of Vietnamese people.
Inamori Kazuo, one of Japan's biggest entrepreneurs, said, "Such businesspeople must first place their biggest priorities into making their employees happy in terms of material and spirit. To this end, they must have an ambition to develop their company to a national level, then a regional level, and finally a global level.
"Furthermore, they must be impartial, always make efforts to develop, display patience in their business, and know how to grasp opportunities."
Vietnam now can take pride in these strongly-growing private enterprises which are taking the lead in many sectors, and contributing remarkably to national development.
However, the country needs to create a level playing field for all private enterprises to play. They must be entitled to engage in the sectors currently largely invested in by state-owned enterprises, such as infrastructure in roads, waterways, railways, and aviation, as well as modern transport means.
These entrepreneurs also contribute to inspiring other enterprises to grow, with the startup spirit beginning to show nationwide.
Huynh The Du, lecturer in public policy at Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management, said that Vietnamese billionaires are a point of national pride thanks to the big values they create.
"We can talk about Vietjet as an example," Du said. "For me, Vietjet is the pride for Vietnam and a bright example for inclusive development because this firm has enabled almost all Vietnamese people to travel by air. In another case Vingroup, despite some debate over its development, is a pride story because it has provided better homes to hundreds of thousands of people thanks to their housing and urban development projects."
"I have also visited THACO, and see that this is a success story of Vietnam's industrial manufacturing industry that many big enterprises in the country have failed to replicate," Du added.
Journey to prosperity
Nguyen Dinh Cung, head of the Central Institute for Economic Management, has been mulling over the question on whether Vietnam can become a prosperous nation by 2045, when the country will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of National Day.
Cung helped compile the landmark Vietnam 2035 report, a joint Vietnam-World Bank Group study titled "Toward Prosperity, Creativity, Equity, and Democracy".
Cung said, "A prosperous economy can be measured by such criteria as GDP and per capita income. However, people are not interested in those criteria theoretically. They are only interested in how they can increase their income, how can they develop themselves fairly and safely, and what opportunities they can grab."
According to Cung, all issues must be solved by internal strength, such as national competitiveness, innovation, and renewal which must be developed based on modern state governance, transparency, and respect to law.
He said that all Vietnamese people have their own aspiration to make themselves rich and make their nation prosperous. This dream can be realised if they have favourable conditions.
"During the wars, Vietnam's leaders won great confidence from people, creating aggregate strength to liberalise the country. Now in more peaceful times, we must do the same: to foster confidence among people toward an affluent nation," Cung stressed.
"To this end, the country's leaders must have strong aspiration for national prosperity, and must have specific actions in order to inspire all people."
Aspirations for 2035
By 2035, 60 years after reunification, Vietnam aspires to become a modern, industrialised economy - next in a succession of East Asian economies to have made the transformative journey to upper-middle or high-income status.
The many achievements since the launch of doi moi have certainly contributed to the ambitious goals. The strong record of regional peers such as South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and China, together with the fear of being permanently left behind, have further fuelled Vietnam's ambitions. There is still an inherent desire to catch up with the world and the modern institutional norms of countries within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development for living standards, the rule of law, and creativity. Vietnam has also signed up to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, which set a comprehensive global development agenda for the next 15 years and will give more concrete shape to some of Vietnam's key long-term goals. The Ninth Party Congress adopted the phrase "socialist-oriented market economy" as the official way to describe Vietnam's economic system in 2001, codified in the 2013 revision of the Constitution. The 2011-2020 Socio-economic Development Strategy set forth the objective to become a basic industrialised country with the foundation of a modern and industrial country by 2020.
Some objectives have been set for 2035:
- A GDP per capita of at least $18,000, roughly equivalent to Malaysia in 2010.
- A majority (over 50 per cent) of the Vietnamese population living in urban areas.
- A share of industry and services in GDP at more than 90 per cent, and in employment at more than 70 per cent.
- A private-sector share in GDP of at least 80 per cent.
- A score of at least 0.7 on the UN's Human Development Index.

The huge feud between Kailyn Lowry and Briana DeJesus is actually just starting! That being said, we have learned that Lowry is not alone in this war! Apparently, the other Teen Mom stars are all teaming up in order to 'destroy' baby daddy Javi Marroquin's now ex.
Over the weekend, Briana slammed Kailyn for her decision to criticize her and Marroquin and talk about their breakup on Coffee Convos podcast with Lindsie Chrisley.
Afterwards, the war seemed to end when Briana deleted her Twitter account but not before she invited Kailyn to 'suck [her] d**k.'
Insiders have revealed that not only Javi but also co-stars McKenzie McKee and Leah Messer are set to stop by the podcast in future episodes.
Once there, the goal is simple – 'destroy' Briana!
'Briana's Twitter meltdown was 100% directed at Kail,' one source on set claimed, noting that Kailyn did not reply to Briana's insults, therefore, downplaying the entire drama.
But there was a really good reason why Lowry did not fire back.
'Javi's expected to return on the podcast in the next couple of weeks, as well as Leah and McKenzie. They couldn't believe what was coming out of Briana's mouth and are going to defend Kail for sure! Briana started the battle, and she's going to get what is coming to her. Kailyn's fans are really upset over this, and so are her friends. No one's going to let Briana get away with what she said,' our insider dished.
It sounds like the war between the two women just got a lot bigger!
Whose side are you on? Cruise down to the comment section below and tell us your opinion on this Teen Mom drama.

Read time - 02:13Most companies expect their employees to be productive at work and maintain high energy levels throughout the day. But this is not always practical as we are prone to fatigue, stress and boredom in the workplace. How can this be curbed and energy increased without you taking time away from work?
Here are 4 things you should practice in order to feel revitalised at work.
Deal with a burnout proactively Chasing deadlines, solving problems or being stuck in a loop can lead to burnout. But as an individual, it is best to always have a plan of action on how you can proactively deal with burnouts when they occur, as they are inventible. For example, taking regular breaks in the office. Research suggest that taking 15 minutes breaks for every 90 minutes re-energises your productivity levels. So take regular breaks even if they are not 15 minutes long.
Understand your chronotype Your chronotype or your body's biological clock is the way in which your circadian rhythm is set to manage energy levels throughout the day – it is your body's natural timeline for various activities you do on a daily basis like eating and sleeping. By understanding your body's chronotype, you can work in harmony with it in order to get the most out of your day. For example, figuring out if you are a morning person or night owl can make a difference in how you live each day.
Eat for energy Digestion is one of the major drains on your energy supplies, so Harvard Medical School reckons you should eat for energy. This is because your body needs fuel (food) to function, and without it, your energy can slope down. You don't have to change your diet altogether as you may already be eating some of these foods like fresh fruits and nuts but what you have to do now is eat them at the right amount and right time. For example, quit having heavy dinner, what are you going to do with all those calories in your sleep?
Be happy Research shows that happiness has a direct link to a rich source of energy that no amount of exercise or healthy eating can match. So make sure that you really are happy at work, happy with your colleagues, at home or other spaces where you consciously spend time in or risk using unnecessary energy that could be used to your overall satisfaction and career growth in trying to solve those problems that caused you to be unhappy.
Exercise Contrary to what you might believe about exercise – it does not make you feel tired. In fact, it gives you more energy. In a study published by the journal of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, researchers found that inactive people who complained of fatigue could increase their energy by 20%, by simply participating in low-intensity exercise. The study further found that; when people walked more steps, they ended the day with more energy than on days when they walked less.
So include exercise in your daily or weekly routine. You do not necessarily have to go to gym, your house, regular walks and generally keeping active will make a difference.

Should You Lease A Credit Card Terminal?
Those selling points might sound persuasive, but you should be aware that a renting or leasing a terminal will end up costing you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over the life of your rental or leasing agreement.
With the fees you'll end up paying to rent or lease a credit card terminal, you could purchase that same machine in a matter of months…if not immediately. In fact, you could probably buy more than one. Additionally, if you rent or lease a credit card terminal you may be required to purchase equipment insurance, which is another added cost. And, you may even have to return the terminal at the end of your lease or buy it out for not much less than it would have cost you to buy it in the first place.
Why Buying a Credit Card Processing Terminal Is Your Best Option
A terminal lease typically involves a 48 month lease agreement. The cost of that lease can run anywhere from $50-$100 a month. That is a long time to be paying for a terminal that doesn't cost more than $800 these days (even the most expensive, high tech models). Why not just purchase your credit card processing terminal outright?
In fact, right now, if you buy your credit card processing terminal from Canada First, we will give you a $500 cash back on your purchase. For some models, this means that you will get your credit card processing terminal for free.
The cost of your purchase is completely tax deductible, and you won't get stuck paying $2400 for a machine that costs as little as $500.00 in interest over the course of four years.
Even if you can't afford to pay cash for your credit card machine, you can just charge it to your card. The interest paid is still tax deductible, and assuming you have a 14 percent APR, if you pay the same $50/month toward your credit card balance that you would have paid toward your lease, you'll have the terminal paid off in less than eleven months. That's a savings of nearly $2,000 that can be better directed into developing and expanding your business. It's really a no-brainer.
If you're currently locked into a lease, you probably think you won't able to break the contract. However, these days, the Canadian Processors Code of Conduct provides you with a number of opportunities to cancel your lease without a penalty.
Nevertheless most of the time if If you want to purchase a machine you'll have to find out when your rental or leasing term ends before you can walk away without a penalty. Email us or give us a call to discuss your situation you may be pleasantly surprised.

At ARCSA-USA, we take a lot of pride in providing the most affordable costs and taking care of all your tree service demands in Farmington, Connecticut. Our certified and expert arborist team in Farmington, CT works to ensure that you along with your tree and other plants will get the quality of service that you are entitled to. Though we enjoy rewarding clients in Farmington and hearing their positive feedback, we have to give a good deal of credit to the machinery, equipment, and gear we utilize. We also do the smaller things, such as simply just showing up on-time so you aren't totally wasting your whole afternoon waiting on a specialist in Farmington, Connecticut. Get in touch with ARCSA-USA in Farmington at 888-405-6810 at this time when you have questions regarding a future tree service or wish to plan a tree trimming or tree removal.
Farmington, CT Residents Learn to Avoid Performing Their Own Tree Services
While some residents in Farmington, CT may be able to complete their own tree trimming work, this is not the situation with everybody. Having said that, there is some science involved in the techniques used to complete tree removal to make certain that your tree looks as healthy as it can. To make issues even more challenging for the normal person, you will likely need to have expensive equipment when the tree grows taller. The chance of injury also quickly comes into play whenever you are working with taller trees. Tree trimming, tree removal, and other services are very high risk and should only be handled by professional stump grinding arborists like ARCSA-USA. The thing you really have to decipher is whether it is worth getting hurt instead of investing the slightest amount of money with a tree care firm.
Our Tools in Farmington, CT
Pruners and shears are two of the common tools we utilize when conducting tree service within the Farmington, CT area. Making certain that we can give the tree its best appearance comes as a result of these kinds of tools. When it comes to tree removal, many people assume that simply using a chainsaw to cut the tree to the ground is all that needs to be completed. While we do make use of chainsaws and other tools to safely bring the tree down, its roots will stay in place beneath the surface. The issue with the roots still being underground is that they will interfere with the attempted growth of a new tree planted within the same area. Chippers, cherrypickers, and various kinds of ladders are also used during nearly all of our tree service procedures.
If you do not want to invest money into expensive tools and end up with a tree that looks as if it was cut in half, our stump grinding company in Farmington, CT is a wonderful option. Economical pricing and professional service are just a couple of benefits you will receive when you work with our firm. Give our staff at ARCSA-USA a call at this time at 888-405-6810, and we will discuss your tree service or removal needs.
Which Tree Trimming Company in Farmington, CT is Best for You?
Any crew member in Farmington, CT from ARCSA-USA will explain that trees can easily make or break the appearance of your home or company in the Farmington, Connecticut region. Tree trimming and pruning are a couple of of the most crucial services to have carried out at least every year as this helps the tree take its shape. As sad as it may seem, there will also come a point in time when you will need help with tree removal. It is always best to allow a Farmington tree service company to handle all of these tasks as they know how to do them safely and they have already made the costly investment in tools and other equipment. If you do not have expensive tools and do not want to risk getting hurt, our tree service crew in Farmington would love to hear from you, so call us at 888-405-6810.
Level of Service in Farmington, CT
While completing the tree service within Farmington, CT without causing more harm than good is essential, we also believe that all companies should provide the highest possible level of customer support. This is why we always offer the utmost level of customer service. Competitive pricing and timely arrival are a couple of the customer service tools we are renowned for. In fact, we also provide emergency services in situations where it looks like your tree may split in half any minute.
Evaluating Farmington, CT Equipment
Even though customer service is very important, a tree service company in Farmington, CT will be unable to get the job finished without the right tools. Several sizes of ladders along with cherrypickers are a couple of of the most crucial tools every tree business should have. Tree trimming providers should also have chippers, or they are going to have a very tough time when it comes to hauling the pieces of a tree off. To ensure ideal results are obtained from the tree trimming services, pruners and shears also need to be utilized. Lastly, if they promote tree removal services, you will need to ensure that they own both chainsaws and stump grinders. Although chainsaws are used to cut the tree down, the stump grinding tool is employed to ground the stump up before also having the roots pulled out of the ground. Although our arborists might not bring the large trucks and chippers out for just a tree trimming service, we do have them stored at our facilities. Likewise, don't forget to visit some other places for instance, tree trimming Gambier, OH to find out if we offer services in your community.
Tree trimming and all tree-related services are not things you want to let anyone in Farmington, CT do since it only takes one wrong move to ruin your tree's appearance. Whenever ARCSA-USA does your tree service work, we take a sense of ownership in the looks of your tree because we want you to tell others about our degree of service. To arrange anything from a tree trimming to a removal, call us at 888-405-6810 today. If you have friends or family members in other regions for instance tree trimming Fredericktown, OH, tell them that we provide options all over the country.

Fall prevention is a very important topic. One in five falls cause a serious injury, like broken bones, or head injury. Nearly 3 million people are treated for unintentional falls every year, and more than 25% of people over the age of 65 fall each year. The cost for these falls, and the subsequent hospital stays and doctors visits, is over $50 billion since 2015. These accidents can be prevented by following these tips below:
Talk to your doctor
Ask your doctor or healthcare professional about your risk of falling. Ask them to evaluate the medications you may be taking, which may make your sense of balance worse. Ask them about vitamins and supplements you could be taking to improve strength and your bones, like Vitamin D. Give your doctor proper case history as well:
- Have you fallen before?
- Could current health conditions increase your risk for falling?
- o you feel dizzy or off-balance while standing or walking?
Strengthen your balance by moving
Perform exercises that help strengthen your legs, core, and balance. Some exercises, like tai chi, use slow, deliberate movements to help you concentrate on what you're moving and how you're moving. Simple exercises like walking, or low-impact movements like water workouts can help with your coordination as well. If you have any questions regarding your physical ability to perform any exercise, ask your doctor prior to beginning. This will not only ensure your workout protocol is appropriate for you, but will ensure you don't hinder your progress in reducing your fall risk.
Have your vision checked
Some falls can be prevented with a simple check of your vision. An updated vision exam allows for you to not only be sure items in your environment won't cause a fall, like a snagged rug, or wire, but actually reduce the likelihood of your fall risk. Using under or over prescribed lenses can make objects seem closer or further away, which can lead to depth perception issues.
Safe House, Safe Home
Speaking of your environment, take a look around your home. Remove any items or barriers between you and your pathway through the home. Be sure to flatten out area rugs, push electrical wires against the wall, repair broken floorboards, and straighten up loose papers and magazines so they don't easily fall on the floor. You can also have security railings installed in your bathroom, bedroom, and along the stairs for an easier grip while moving about your home.
Get your balance tested
If you feel like your balance is off, or you suffer from vertigo (spinning sensation) when standing, sitting or moving your head, have your balance tested by an audiologist. We can identify the reason for your imbalance and, in most cases, treat the issue the same day in our office.

Technology: NASA names a date for the first people on Mars
PRESIDENT Bush has received the first response to his call for a timetable
and a price tag for a return to the Moon and a crewed mission to Mars. Twenty
years after the first Apollo landings on the Moon, NASA has sent the National
Space Council its estimate of the timing and the technology that would be
needed in sending people to explore the Solar System. But the agency has
avoided any mention of costs.
NASA says that its report is meant as a database to help the National
Space Council to assess the answers to the President's questions. The report
outlines five timetables for exploring the Moon and Mars. At the earliest,
the agency envisages a permanently-crewed base on the Moon by 2002, and
people landing on Mars by 2011.
Whatever the timetable, NASA will need to develop a formidable array
of technologies before it sends people to explore the Solar System. New
shuttles and launchers will be needed to put loads of between 50 and 140
tonnes into orbit around the Earth. The present shuttle can lift a cargo
of 17.3 tonnes. Other vehicles would ferry loads to orbit around the Moon
or Mars and from there down to the surface.
The agency would initially launch robotic missions to the Moon and Mars.
In particular, it needs to explore the Martian surface far more thoroughly
before it can select a site for a base. The first robotic mission to Mars
would consist of two spacecraft, each comprising an orbiter and a landing
vehicle. The orbiters would map the surface, while the landing craft would
gather seismological and meteorological data.
This would be followed by the 'global network mission', which would
deploy several vehicles at different places on Mars. The landing craft would
implant scientific instruments beneath the surface and deposit others on
the surface. These instruments would relay data back to Earth via their
parent spacecraft, which would remain in orbit around Mars. This mission
would help scientists to model the planet's geology,and give further details
on seismology, meteorology and the atmosphere's interaction with the planet's
Next, NASA would launch a spacecraft that would bring a 5-kilogram sample
of Martian rock, soil and atmosphere back to Earth. Finally, the agency
would launch two spacecraft, each comprising an orbiter and a communication
satellite. The orbiter will provide detailed remote-sensing data of specific
The communication satellite would be positioned to pick up data from
all parts of the orbiters' path around Mars, and to return that data to
Earth. Vehicles roving the planet's surface would make a detailed check
of proposed landing sites selected from the data provided by the earlier
During the robotic flights to Mars, the spacecraft will take measurements
of high-energy cosmic radiation and of the radiation from solar flares.
Engineers need this information if they are to design spacecraft that will
protect people from radiation.
Although NASA attaches no cost to this early study, space analysts believe
that it would cost at least $30 billion. John Pike, from the Federation
of American Scientists, says: 'The trouble with the study is that they traded
the technical benefits of different approaches, not cost and technology.
When they trade costs, the plans may change drastically.'

Hi everyone! I'm sharing this about 10 hours late today because, well, let's just say I'll be glad when this week is over! From kidney stones, to a car collision (no one was hurt), to arguing with our bank, and all of the everyday stuff in between, I'm beat! I am normally up until midnight or one am working on here, but the past two nights I can't keep my eyes open past eleven - and before then I'm not doing much work because my brain is just exhausted.
I am working on a couple posts today though, and tomorrow I'll have all of the photos and recap of Noah's 4th birthday party to share! We went to the aquatic center last Sunday and he had so much fun.
So tell me, how is your week going? Accomplished anything you'd like to share?
This link up to to share anything and everything that inspires you, or that you've created.
Create.Simplify.Inspire. #69

Setting up a free school requires having a team with the necessary expertise and availability to complete the DfE's application form in a way that meets their criteria. This team must be able to lead the project through to completion.
The application process
- Setting up a free school involves completing a Department for Education application form, which you submit to the DfE in one of their application windows.
- The DfE ask you to pre-register.
- The DfE assess your application against their criteria and decide whether or not to invite you to attend an interview where they will question you on your proposal. They then decide whether or not to approve your proposal based on your application and your performance at interview.
A summary of wave 14 criteria can be found here.
Regional Schools Commissioners
Regional Schools Commissioners have a role in deciding which free school applications are approved and deciding whether to cancel, defer or enter into funding agreements with free school projects. More information about RSCs can be found on the DfE's website and in their free school pre-opening guide.
For more information on what free schools are and how to go about submitting an application, read our introduction to free schools document.
When can I apply
The amount of time you will need to complete your application will vary depending on your experience of running schools and how developed your proposals are. In our experience of supporting applicant groups, it takes 3-6 months to develop a free school application. The most recent free school application window has now closed and we are awaiting information about future free school waves. However, there are still things that applicants can be doing outside of free school waves to develop their proposals:
Vision: Developing your vision is crucial to your bid. A vision statement sets the guiding principles for the project. It Is essential that your vision is created in response to the needs of the pupils who will be attending the school and what you want them to achieve. With this as your foundation, your vision should detail the key features of your proposed free school, the rationale for setting it up and any innovation it may bring to the sector.
If you are an existing provider, you will need to consider any plans for the growth and development of your academy trust and explain how the new school will fit within that structure.
Your vision statement should not be fixed in the first instance and is likely to develop over time. It is important that all core members of your team buy into the vision for the new free school.
Need and standards (mainstream): In the most recent wave of mainstream free school applications, wave 14, the Department for Education were looking to approve free schools in places where there is:
- both a demonstrable shortage of places in an area such that a new school is needed and;
- where current educational standards are significantly lower than the local and national average.
A new set of application criteria is published with every new free school wave. This means the criteria for demonstrating evidence of need may be different in the future. However, based upon our understanding of previous waves, it is highly likely that applicants will still be required to demonstrate an understanding of the local educational context in terms of demographic need, and standards of existing schools in the area.

Potential applicants are advised to speak to their local authority about the need for a new school in the local area and to maintain an open dialogue throughout the process.
Team: To demonstrate that you have the capacity and capability to open a successful new school, you must have the appropriate expertise across your core team. Skills gaps – such as project management, marketing, HR, safeguarding and health & safety – can be filled at a later stage in the process, but the following roles are essential for the application phase:
- Education Lead: This should be a serving, or recently serving head teacher or deputy head teacher of an Ofsted rated Good or Outstanding state school of the same phase, type and designation (special) that you want to set up.
- Finance Lead: This must be a qualified individual with school finance experience, preferably in an academy, such as a school business manager or chief finance officer of an academy trust. If you are proposing to set up a special school you should seek an individual with experience of special school finance.
- Governance Lead: This should be someone with experience of academies governance and the Department for Education's Governance Handbook, ideally the chair of trustees of an academy trust or the chair of governors of a Good or Outstanding school. This person will lead on the governance section of your application.
If you are not already an existing school or academy trust, then you could secure this expertise through a partnership with an existing education provider (see below information on partnerships).
Community engagement: As part of your application you will need to evidence support from the community through engagement with key stakeholders. All applicants will need to evidence that they have engaged with a cross-section of the community, including disadvantaged groups. Special free school applicants will also need to demonstrate engagement with local authority commissioners.
Early conversations with stakeholders should be conducted with care to manage the expectations of the community as there is not currently a live application window. You should also be aware that once a free school application is approved by the DfE, the school it is typical for there to be a period of 2-3 years in the pre-opening stage before the school is ready to open.
Partnerships: To help deliver your vision for the new school, you may wish to draw upon additional support from external partners. Partnerships can bring a variety of benefits and will strengthen the free school's network. Educational partners can provide expertise to your project, or simply advise on certain sections of your application. They can also share staff and resources with the new free school once opened, depending on the nature of the relationship. Businesses can provide careers guidance and work experience opportunities to pupils in the school, as well as additional capital for projects and materials central to your vision*.
As with engaging members of the community, preliminary conversations with potential partners should conducted sensitively and with an awareness that the free school application process is competitive and there is no guarantee that your application will be successful.
Faith schools: Proposers setting up a mainstream free school can choose to set up a free school with a faith ethos or faith designation. Groups proposing a school with a faith ethos or designation must show that the school will be inclusive to all pupils, including those of other and no faith. Groups proposing to establish a free school with a faith basis or designation must meet additional criteria to demonstrate their commitment to inclusion. More information on setting up a faith can be found here.
*The new school must not be dependent on borrowing, third-party or nursery income to break even in any year.

Our Story
The Emporium is an independent, family run homewares and gift shop, located in the idyllic Derbyshire countryside. We sell unique, statement pieces for your home that you simply won't find anywhere else. But where did we begin? And who are we?
The Emporium was founded by Maria, an interior designer who has an eye like a magpie! Running a successful show home business for more than 10 years, she had built a collection of ex show home furniture that clients no longer needed. This furniture was as good as new, but was sitting in storage collecting dust. All those years as an interior designer also gave Maria a wealth of knowledge about where to source the most unique and one off pieces that can't be found on the high street.
So, in November 2015, The Emporium was officially launched. Tucked away in The Courtyard, it's an Aladdin's cave of unique pieces you can't help but fall in love with. We sell ex-show furniture, new furniture as well as gifts, artwork, homewares and lighting to name but a few.
Now, we have a small team of interior designers and interior architecture designers who can all help you be inspired and sort out whatever project you may have, big or small. We can come up with colour schemes, source furniture and supply all the accessories you need.
In 2018 we set up our new ecommerce website and we are now looking to increase our community involvement, both in our local area and on social media.
Our website is brimming with all our treasures. Here you can shop our current stock, keep up to date with what we're doing, and even reserve items you want to collect. We hope you like what you see, and if you're ever in Derbyshire, pop in and say hello! We'd love to see you.

I had requested a withdrawal of $2000 in excess of 2 months ago. I was initially told I would need to complete the docs required which I did so within the first week. I have been asking every couple of weeks for the status and told by live support reps every time they are waiting for a tracking number. This is unacceptable since it has been months.
I asked who I could email within their support and they told me it would do no good since they did not respond to outside emails so customer support does not exist. These are the last two transcripts of the conversations: The following is a record of your online chat.

On Wednesday, the Ohio Legislature took a major step forward towards much-needed regulatory reform. Senate Bill 221, which has long been an Ohio Chamber priority bill, passed through the House and the Senate and is now on its way to Governor Kasich's desk.
Both bodies approved this bill by large margins; 73-20 in the House and the Senate agreed to the changes made by the House by a margin of 23-6. The actions taken on Wednesday signify the legislature's understanding that rule and regulatory reform is necessary in our state. To see whether or not your lawmakers voted to ensure Ohio's rules and regulations are jobs-friendly, check out our updated Free Enterprise Index.
As can be seen by the large margin in each of the votes, this issue is not a Republican or Democrat issue. This is a common sense, pro-business piece of legislation that helps improve the regulatory climate in our state. Though the Kasich Administration has expressed reservations about the bill from the beginning, it is our hope that the governor quickly signs SB 221 into law.
For more information on the bill, please see last week's post which outlines what the bill does and how it will help your business.
