Introduction: Muff Set
I wanted to make something really elegant for Lily this winter, something that you don't see as much nowadays and something that would complete her new coat. I started thinking about old fashion classics which brought me to the hand muff. Two matching pieces would be better than one and thus the ear muffs.
The hand muff is a highly elegant accessory brought to the fashion world in the 16th century. It was originally made from fur, nowadays we have other options to choose from. You can use fake fur or plush. The size is kind of universal, although the muff was made for a child, my normal-sized hands fit in it as well. And thanks to the strap you don't need to think about where to put the muff when you need your hands.
The ear muffs keep the ears warm, looks great and together with the hand muff it is just so elegant!
Both these pieces are fairly easy to make, therefore I put them in one single instructable. I will start with the hand muff and the second part is dedicated to the ear muffs.
Step 1: Material Needed for the Hand Muff
- rectangle 33 x 32 cm - outside fabric (left on the photo) - such as fake fur, I got mine at a fabric leftover store
- rectangle 33 x 32 cm - inside fabric (center on the photo) - plush or other warm material
- rectangle 33 x 32 cm - batting (right on the photo) - I used woolen batting 120 g/m2
- cotton canvas 130 x 20 cm
- 1 strap adjuster and 1 strap rectangle size 2,5 cm
- matching thread
Step 2: Strap for the Muff
Start by making the strap. Cut a strap 130 cm long and 10 cm and then cut a square 10 x 10 cm. Do the following steps with both: fold in half lengthwise and iron. Open, fold the long edges to the center and iron again. Fold lengthwise in half and iron. Stitch the open long side. (photos 1 - 3)
From the square you now have a strap 10 cm long. Pull it through the strap rectangle, fold and stitch about 2 cm from the rectangle. (photo 4)
Now take the longer strap, pull is through the strap adjuster, fold one end and also stitch 2 cm from the adjuster. (photos 5 and 6)
Take the other end of the long strap and pull it through the strap rectangle as shown in the pictures 7 and 8.
Then pull this end also through the strap adjuster. Don't stitch the end, you will later attach is to the muff. (photos 9 and 10)
The strap is done, you can adjust its length. Set it aside. (photo 11)
Step 3: Making Base for the Muff
Now to make the muff. First place the plush on the batting, the plush should be right side up. Stitch all four sides. Place the fur on the plush right side down. That means the right sides of the plush and the fur should be facing each other. Stitch two opposite sides - the longer ones. Turn the piece right side out, the batting should be inside now.
Step 4: Shaping It and Attaching the Strap
Now you need to join the open (unstitched) sides but only the inside ones - the plush and batting. Do not stitch the fur. Pin the edges of the inside layer together as shown in the picture and sew them together. (photos 1 and 2)
Turn the whole muff so that the batting is on the outside and the fur on the other. The fur is wrong side out. (photo 3)
Open the fur and place the strap inside. Pin the ends of the strap to the edge of the fur there where you want the strap to be attached (usually in the corner). (photos 4 and 5)
Pin the edges of the fur and stitch, leaving a 10 cm opening. Now your muff is wrong side out. (photos 6 and 7)
You need to turn it right side out through the opening. It requires patience but don't worry, 10 cm is enough to turn it. Close the opening using the hidden stitch. The warm plush should be on the inside. You muff is done. (photos 8 - 10)
Photos 11 - 13 give you an idea of what the finished muff should look like.
Step 5: Material Needed for the Ear Muffs
- metal base for a headband, standard size and wide between 5 and 10 mm
- stripe 32 x 5 cm - fake fur
- stripe 32 x 4 cm - plush
- 2 circles 9 x 9 cm - fake fur
- 2 circles 9 x 9 cm - plush
- 2 circles 9 x 9 cm - batting, I used woolen batting 120 g/m2
- thread
- glue gun
Step 6: The Head Part
Place both stripes right sides together. Stitch the long sides together about 0,5 cm from the edge and leaving a 5 cm opening on one side. (photos 1 and 2)
Turn the stripe right side up through the opening which you then stitch with the hidden stitch. (photo 3)
Pull the stripe on the metal base. (photo 4)
Step 7: The Ear Part
Now take the circles, place the batting on the wrong side of the plush and stitch the whole circumference. (photos 1 and 2)
Place the fur circle right side on the plush and stitch again the circumference, this time leaving a 3 cm opening. (photo 3)
Turn both circles right sides up. (photo 4)
Step 8: Assembling
Put some hot glue on the ends of the metal headband and put on the circles. Press where the ends of the metal headband are to make the circles stick in place. As you can see, we still have the circles open. (photo 1)
Stitch the edges of the circles and the stripe using the hidden stitch and your headband is done. (photos 2 - 4)

Closing in the Long Grass
Sculpture of three running Wild Dog
Bronze Africa 'Closing in the Long Grass'
I call this sculpture 'Closing In The Long Grass'. I feel that anyone who may envisage the terrain where these animals occur would imagine the short grass plains of the Serengeti or the sand deserts of the Savuti in Botswana. Well they occur in those places of course but I have also seen them in the Mulobezi Game Management Area in Zambia and the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania where the grass was anything but short. Here they have to hunt in tall grass and their under bellies are shaved clean by the grass they are forced to hunt in. Here then is how I see these splendid, highly successful little hunters.

Legislative Update June 2012
NTSB Safety Recommendations
On May 24, 2012, the National Transportation Safety Board issued safety recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration, which were derived from the NTSB's investigation of the July 14, 2009, collision of a Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad train and 19 stationary railcars from a BNSF Railway local train in Bettendorf, Iowa. These recommendations were issued to address incorrect alignment of a hand-operated switch in non-signaled territory, inadequate job briefing between train crewmembers, inadequate job briefing requirements for train crewmembers and train dispatchers prior to releasing track occupancy authority, and the absence of appropriate switch position technology. The recommendations are as follows:
- Require railroads to install, along main lines in non-signaled territory not equipped with positive train control, appropriate technology that warns approaching trains of incorrectly lined main track switches sufficiently in advance to permit stopping. (R-12-27)
- Revise Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Section 218.105(d)(1) to require that, until the appropriate switch position technology is installed on main track switches in non-signaled territories that are not equipped with positive train control, train crews releasing track authority to the dispatcher must hold job briefings with the dispatcher and clearly convey the position of all main track switches that were used prior to releasing track warrant authority. (R-12-28)
- Require that until appropriate switch position warning technology is installed on main track switches (in non-signaled territory not equipped with positive train control), when a main track switch has been reported relined for a main track, the next train to pass the location approach the switch location at restricted speed. That train crew should then report to the dispatcher that the switch is correctly lined for the main track before trains are allowed to operate at maximum authorized speed. (R-12-29)
The NTSB reclassifies the following previously issued recommendation to the FRA:
Require that, along main lines in non-signaled territory, railroads install an automatically activated device, independent of the switch banner that will, visually or electronically, compellingly capture the attention of employees involved with switch operations and clearly convey the status of the switch both in daylight and in darkness. (R-05-14)
Negotiations Continue on Surface Transportation Reauthorization
The House-Senate conference committee on the federal surface transportation reauthorization bills, H.R. 4348 and S. 1813, kicked off its first official meeting with all 47 House and Senate conferees (33 Representatives and 14 Senators) on May 8. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) was named as the chairman of the conference committee and House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman John Mica (R-FL) was named as vice chairman.
Background on the House-Senate Conference: Back on January 31, the original five-year, $260 billion Surface Transportation Bill, H.R. 7, was introduced by Rep. Mica; however, it was blocked by House Republicans for several reasons and never made it to the House floor. Meanwhile, the Senate passed a $109 billion bipartisan transportation and infrastructure bill on March 14 that would have financed the program for two years. The House Republican leadership was never able to secure the floor votes needed to pass H.R. 7, and instead passed a 90-day extension bill, H.R. 4348, on March 29. That extension is set to expire on June 30. The House is technically using its three-month extension bill (H.R. 4348) as the conference vehicle with the Senate's two-year, $109 billion measure (S. 1813).
As you may recall from the March update, H.R. 7 contains a number of provisions that are detrimental for rail employees, including: (1) privatizing food and beverage service and other state-supported services on Amtrak, which would result in nearly 15% of Amtrak employees losing their jobs; (2) significant cuts to Amtrak's operating funding (3) delaying the implementation of Positive Train Control systems on the nation's railroads by five years; and (4) weakening the Federal Railroad Administration, making it more difficult, if not impossible, for that agency to create regulations that are good policy.
Please contact your U.S. Representative and Senators, especially those who have been named as conferees (see list below), to ask them to support a transportation reauthorization bill that will provide a level of certainty to our industry that is currently lacking due to the nine short-term extensions under which the federal programs have been operating since 2009.

Becca Hills is thirty-five-years-old and was baptised Concepta Burns after her Irish grandmother. The Burns' are a notorious criminal family from London's East End and Becca's mother did her best to turn Becca into her so Becca could take over from her when the time came, or become head of her own family of drug dealers eventually.
Becca was sent away to boarding school and wasn't allowed to mix with the local children when at home. Becca always felt as if she didn't belong with the Burns', hated her names and being brought up wrapped in cotton wool and longed to escape.
As soon as she could, Becca changed her name to Rebecca Burns, moved away and joined the London Metropolitan Police. One of the other police probationers was Stephen Connor. They fell in love and moved into a flat together. But the Burns' wouldn't leave her alone and arranged for her to be attacked. The attack left Becca deaf in one ear and she had to leave the police.
Becca and Stephen decided to try for a baby and they spent a long weekend in Brighton on England's south coast. Soon afterwards, Becca discovered she was pregnant. One day, she forgot her Oyster travel card, returned to the flat and found Stephen and her sister-in-law, Jackie Burns, in bed together.
Jackie was told she couldn't have children and her husband walked out on her. Money and drugs buy information and Jackie found Becca, discovered Becca was pregnant and was madly jealous. Jackie couldn't allow Becca to be happy while she wasn't, so she threw herself at Stephen, knowing exactly what to do, where to do it, and for how long. Stephen and Jackie had sex in the hall, in the bathroom and in the bedroom. For Becca, this was the ultimate betrayal and she disappeared.
Changing her name again, Becca Hills and her son, Tommy live a deliberately quiet life in a council flat on the twenty-fourth floor of a north London tower block. When Tommy started school, Becca began working part-time in a local crime bookshop. She misses Stephen, still loves him, but knows she will never trust him again.
Then, one morning, Becca wakes up late. She has forgotten to top up the electricity meter, the power went off in the middle of the night and her clock radio failed to wake her at eight o'clock. She gets Tommy ready as quickly as she can and they manage to arrive at his school shortly after nine o'clock.
Crouching down outside the gates to kiss him goodbye and pass him his rucksack, she is pushed over and a woman grabs Tommy. It is Jackie Burns. Jackie runs across the road carrying Tommy and when Becca goes after them, she is struck by a car.
When Becca comes to, her vision is blurred but, from the stink of disinfectant, she works out that she is lying in a hospital bed and she can see the outline of someone sitting beside her bed. When she wakes again, her vision has cleared. She is in an Accident and Emergency Department cubicle and the person sitting beside her bed holding a lock of her waist-length blonde hair in his fingers is Stephen…
Sooner or later, your past will catch up with you.
Rebecca Burns has been running and hiding from her drug-dealing family all her adult life and trusts no one. An injury ended her career in London's Metropolitan Police, and when she took a chance on love, she discovered Stephen cheating on her.
Changing her name, she runs and hides again, despite being pregnant with Stephen's child. 'Becca Hills' and her son live a deliberately quiet life in a London tower block, but when she is involved in a road traffic accident, she finds Stephen and her past catching up with her. Can Becca allow herself to trust, forgive and love again?
An Excerpt From Chapter Two
Following a detour by way of a supermarket, the cab dropped them off on Dixon Street. Tommy was almost asleep on Stephen's shoulder as he let them into the apartment.
"I want Bear," Tommy mumbled again.
"I know, but," they went into Stephen's bedroom and he opened the wardrobe, "meet Humphrey." He pulled out a very old and battered teddy bear. "I'm sure Humphrey wouldn't mind standing in for Bear for now."
"Thank you, Daddy." Tommy clutched Humphrey to him.
Five minutes later Tommy, in one of Stephen's T-shirts, and Humphrey, in his birthday suit, were tucked up and fast asleep in the double bed in the mauve bedroom.
"A drink?" Stephen whispered to her.
"Yes, please." She followed him into the living area. "A large one."
"Coming up," he said, going to a kitchen cupboard, and taking down a bottle of Irish whisky and two glasses.
"I really thought I'd left them all behind. I'm surprised I didn't have television companies ringing up wanting to do programmes on the Family From Hell."
He poured the whisky and passed her a glass. "Here. Think about taking out an injunction, I won't have them putting you and Tommy in danger. Better still, come and live here."
"What the hell is it with you?" he demanded, slamming his glass down on the worktop. "Every time I try to help you, you throw it back in my face."
"I've just got out of the habit of asking for help. I never liked doing it anyway."
"I know." The telephone began to ring and he went to answer it. "Connor." He listened for a couple of moments before sighing. "No. No. Why? Because it's over. Please don't call me again."
"After one date? Well, fuck you, Stephen," she heard a woman's voice shout and the call was promptly ended.
"Women trouble?" she enquired as he put the handset down.
"Not anymore. I just couldn't commit to any of them."
"How many were there?" She pulled a stool out from under the breakfast bar and sat down.
"A few." Pulling out a second stool, he sat down opposite her and took a sip of the whisky. "How about you?"
"Did they last longer than a month?"
She met his eyes. "No," she told him truthfully. "The first just liked the idea of having sex with a single mum. The second didn't like Tommy so that was it with him."
"And what about you?"
She shrugged. "All I wanted from the first was meaningless sex. Tommy was still a baby and he wasn't aware of him being around but the second just didn't like Tommy and Tommy didn't like him and I wasn't going to have strange men in the flat. I'd seen enough of that at home with Mum's boyfriends when I was growing up and I didn't want to turn into her."
"You can't hide from your family forever, Becca."
"But what the hell can I do?" She rested her head on a fist.
"Take out an injunction. You should have done it years ago." Reaching across the breakfast bar, he gently caressed her deaf ear. It felt wonderful and she fought a hard battle not to visibly shiver with pleasure. "Before they did this to you."
"I know, but it's too late now."
"Does Tommy know about it?"
She nodded and took a sip of whisky. "He thinks it was an accident, though, not an attack."
"Does he ever ask about them?"
"No, because I haven't told him anything about them." She sighed, cradling the whisky glass in her hands. "I wish I could. I wish they were worth telling him about but they're not. He has no idea what it is like to be not the black sheep of the family but the white sheep, the only good person in a family of scumbags. And for me to join the police was just the last straw for them. So they did this so I'd have to leave." She touched her ear. "And then there was you and me. If Jackie hadn't waded in in her size sevens they still would have broken us up somehow."
"But they hadn't betted on Tommy, had they?" he said quietly.
"No. And I'm scared…I never thought I'd be found and I don't know what to do anymore." She put her glass down on the breakfast bar before she dropped it. "And I'm so tired all the time. I'm going to bed, it's probably going to be a long day tomorrow."
"Before you go to bed, listen to me," he begged, clasping her hands in his. "Live here, please? I will be here as much as I possibly can. It has to be better than you being in that flat on your own with Tommy."
"But if they find out?"
"The injunction, Becca. Think about it?"
"Yeah." She extracted her hands from his and finished her whisky before sliding off the stool. "You'll have to lend me a T-shirt or something."
"Okay, come with me."
She followed him into his bedroom, noticing again just how austere it was. Kneeling down at the drawers beneath the wardrobe, she watched as he opened one and pulled out an item of clothing.
She took it and held it up. It was a pink silk-effect nightdress with thin shoulder straps she had left behind in her rush to leave. "You kept this all this time?"
He nodded. "In the hope that you might come back."
Oh, God. "I see." Putting it over an arm, she retreated to the door. "Well, thanks. Goodnight."
Closing the door behind her, she hurried down the hall to the mauve bedroom.
Tommy was fast asleep still clutching Humphrey as she turned the bedside lamp on, undoing her plait, and shaking out her hair. She got undressed and slipped into the nightdress, finding it a little tight over her bust. Since she had last worn it, she had both given birth to and breastfed Tommy. Getting into the double bed beside him, she turned off the bedside lamp. She stared up at the ceiling, remembering the nights she and Stephen had sat at their old kitchen table talking into the small hours putting the world to rights. Oh, God, how she missed those nights. And, God, how she missed him, too.
* * *
Two hours later, she was still staring up at the ceiling. This was hopeless. Getting out of the bed without disturbing Tommy, she went to the kitchen and took a carton of milk out of the fridge. She poured some of the milk into a mug and put it in the microwave oven for forty-five seconds but opened the door with one second to go before it pinged. Taking the mug over to the display cabinet, she stared at the photograph of herself and Stephen with all the cardboard boxes. When had she laughed like that since?
Opening one of the doors in the bottom of the cabinet, she found two large photograph albums and pulled them out. Taking the albums over to one of the sofas, she sat down, opened one, and took a sip of the warm milk. 'The Two PC Plods' was written under a photo of the two of them as police probationers. She smiled, shaking her head, they were so young. The photograph below it was taken by Stephen's younger brother, Gerard. She and Stephen were kissing. Talk about a tongue sandwich and a half. She quickly turned the page.
"That's one of my favourites."
She jumped, almost spilling the milk down her front. "Stephen," she hissed.
"I couldn't sleep either." He sat on the sofa opposite her, dressed for bed in his usual T-shirt and boxer shorts. "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you heard me coming in."
"Well, I didn't." She watched his eyes move up and down, taking in her loose hair and how fully she now filled the nightdress. God, how she wanted to straddle him and sit on his lap and push her breasts into his face and let him kiss them and – oh, God – so many other things she missed so much. "I helped myself to some milk," she said instead.
"Good." He smiled, raising his eyes to her face.
"How's Gerard?"
"He's very well, thanks. He told me that I was a bloody fool to mess you around."
She groaned. "Let's not go into that now, I'm too tired."
"Why couldn't you sleep?" he asked. "Are you ill?"
"No, just overtired." She drained the mug. "And sad. And fucking angry. They took all my photograph albums – all the photos you looked at of Tommy as a baby. Spying on me and trashing the flat I can take, kind of, because they're scum and that's what scum does. But taking the photos…only the lowest of the low would do something like that."
"Live with me?" he added quietly. "Let me look after you both."
"Stephen." Banging the mug down on the coffee table, she got to her feet, the photograph albums falling to the floor. "We don't need looking after."
"Becca." He got up from the sofa and grasped her shoulders. "Please?"
"Let me go."
He complied and bent down to retrieve the albums. "The nights I lay awake wondering if that bloody family of yours had done something else to you. Every time a female body was found it used to scare the shit out of me…"
"But they know where you are now, Becca."
She rubbed her forehead. "I know. I'll just have to move again."
"But think of Tommy and school?"
"Don't you dare accuse me of not thinking about him," she spat. "I think and worry about him every day – ever since he was born – ever since I found out that I was pregnant if you must know. I even thought about getting an abortion after I left you but I couldn't."
"Tell me why not?" He pointed to the sofa. "Please?"
She sighed and sat down and he re-took his seat, placing the albums beside him.
"The baby was yours and mine. Ours. Not my bloody family's – ours. Despite everything that happened I just couldn't get rid of him. We made him. It was on that long weekend in Brighton, just after we'd agreed to try for a baby."
"Brighton?" He smiled. "I'm not surprised, we hardly left the hotel room."
"I know, but I hadn't counted on me getting pregnant immediately."
"I should have asked you to marry me there."
Her eyebrows rose. "Before, during, or just after?"
He shook his head. "Over dinner the first evening. I've regretted it ever since. And I've grabbed every chance that has come my way since. And, yes, I do want to make chief inspector before I'm forty."
"Jan was right," she muttered. "You are married to the job."
"You could have made inspector, too."
"Well, there's no point saying that now." She touched her ear. "I'm happy at the bookshop."
"There's a crime bookshop here, just around the corner," he told her. "And Tommy could go to St James' Primary School. It's only five minutes walk away."
"I do know where it is."
"So what's your excuse?" he challenged.
She gave him a defiant stare. "Don't bloody interrogate me, Stephen."
"All right." He got up, went to the kitchen, and poured himself a whisky. "But I'm only worried about you."
"I know you are," she replied quietly. Getting up from the sofa, she went to him, turned his face towards hers and kissed his cheek. "I need to try and get some sleep."
"Becca." He caught her hand. "Before you go, tell me what it was like being pregnant. Please? I missed out on so much."
"I was huge. And he kicked my insides black and blue."
"How big were you?" he asked, putting his whisky glass down, standing behind her and taking her hands. "Will you show me?"
She could feel his body pressing against hers, his breath on her ear, and couldn't help but tense. It felt far too good. "My stomach was out here." She held his hands out from her body, not at all sure how accurate she was being but just wanting to show him something and then move away from him. "It was huge. I waddled for the last few weeks." Letting his hands go, she turned around, backing away from him. "I was in labour for sixteen hours and Tommy weighed eight pounds and one ounce."
"You breastfed him?"
"Yes, I did," she replied matter-of-factly, not wanting to move onto the subject of her breasts. "And now I really must try and get some sleep," she told him, walking to the hall door and opening it. "Goodnight," she added and closed it behind her. She leant back against the door for a moment, raising her hand to her forehead, and finding it damp with perspiration. "Fuck you, Stephen," she whispered.

Nashville, TN -- With 2018 already in full swing, Nu-Blu is happy to announce the addition of Justin Harrison to the band. The 24-year-old Morehead State University graduate from the Traditional Music Program will serve as the group's new mandolin player. Harrison will join other band members, including lead singer / bass player Carolyn Routh, lead guitarist Daniel Routh and banjo player TJ Honaker.
"The move to join Nu-Blu was an easy choice to make. They are poised to make big moves in the next several years, and the band structure and marketing is set up like none that I've ever seen," says Harrison. "I am looking forward to all the music and memories to come."
Harrison has a rich history as a musician, with the performer's father also playing mandolin. The instrumentalist has experience performing for Bluegrass fans already, after a recent tenure with The Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show. The North Carolina native also has experience touring stateside and internationally, including a tour in China with the Morehead State University Mountain Music Ambassadors Band.
"Timing is everything, and that's definitely evident with the way things have worked out to bring Justin into Nu-Blu," said Daniel Routh. "With the opportunities we have on the horizon and the direction we are going, he's the perfect fit for the band." Fans can learn more about Nu-Blu's upcoming tour dates by visiting the band's official website, nu-blu.com.
Hailing from Siler City, NC, the textbook definition of a picturesque small southern town, Nu-Blu's heart and soul is husband-and-wife duo Daniel and Carolyn Routh. Carolyn's caramel-coated soprano is one of the band's defining traits, at times a tender lullaby, at times a freight train headed straight for you, but always unwinding a surprising tale. Daniel is the group's backbone, a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who also handles band management. TJ Honaker on vocals and banjo, and Justin Harrison on fiddle/mandolin round out the quartet's warm, layered, American roots sound. Together they deliver upbeat, blazing-fingers pick work just as well as gentle, heartwarming ballads, and they do it all with a natural togetherness that can't be faked, forged over hundreds of shows on the road.
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer

The British Commonwealth-sponsored Trans-Antarctic Expedition (TAE) of 1957-58, under the leadership of Dr Vivian Fuchs, completed the first overland crossing of Antarctica, via the South Pole. A pioneering and hazardous journey, and not without controversial elements, it also included scientists participating in International Geophysical Year research.
Jon Stephenson was a geologist on that expedition. As well as giving his account of the Expedition, its planning and its aftermath, he supplies a history of Antarctic exploration since James Cook's voyage of 1775, an account of other Antarctic exploration and scientific study contemporaneous with TAE, and an overview of subsequent expeditions.
A notable feature of the book are the author's remarkable photographs, which were exhibited in Sydney in September 2007 in a 50th anniversary commemoration of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition and the International Geophysical year. This book includes a Foreword from another pioneer of Antarctic scientific activity, Dr Phillip Law.

Dear Parents / Carers
Please see below the latest update from Alex Russell at BET. It would greatly help if you could complete our survey monkey (link is on the letter attached to the Parentmail sent this morning) if you fall into the groups mentioned. Please note that this is an initial enquiry and until we receive further guidance we are unable to give firm commitments regarding our current plans.
Many thanks
Laura Benardout
19th March 2020
Dear Parents/Carers, Following on from my last update, I'm now writing to let you know that we have now been instructed to close the school to almost all children after this Friday until further notice.
As advised by the government, we will do all we can to stay open for the children of key workers (e.g. NHS staff, police, others in frontline services) and children with certain needs. We are waiting for the government to publish more information on what this means, but it would help us in the meantime if you can answer the questions that are on the Survey Monkey questionnaire by clicking on the link (in the Parentmail sent earlier today).
Please do not email the school with regards to this, or complete the survey unless you think that either parent falls into the Key Worker category or your child has the needs stated.
We'll be in touch again with confirmation of the list of Key Workers which is due to be published today by the Cabinet Office. All other children will need to stay at home, so we ask that you do not send your child into school from Monday onwards.
Please note that this is a national closure – as you may have heard in the news – so while it is a challenging situation, we are not alone. We'll re-open fully as soon as we can and will let you know when this is by emailing parents and carers.
Best wishes
Alex Alex Russell

Aerial Combat Experience
- Hotel pick up
Think you've seen it all? Well on this tour we'll recreate aerial combat, with you piloting the most advanced acrobatic plane in the world. Think again!
The Flight
Over your 35-40 minutes in the air, you'll make manoeuvres such as loop the loops, inversions, and high G turns (up to 8.5!), vertical ascent, and much more. And the best of all: you'll be the one piloting the plane, supervised of course by a professional combat pilot.
As well as the acrobatic manoeuvres, you'll fight up to 5 combat battles, and make a low altitude pass, simulating bombardment. During the air battles you can shoot your adversary (with a laser) and the plane will emit smoke, falling in a tailspin. Totally realistic!
This wild ride is obviously only for the most intrepid!
Not enough excitement?
If you feel like all that isn't enough, you can add the pack with advanced manoeuvres, including moves such as the hammerhead, the Cuban eight, or the 'abracadabra' - and you'll miss nothing: by reserving the option with advanced acrobatics the flight time is extended.
The plane for this experience is the Extra 330LC: with 330 horsepower, speeds of up to 400 km/h and certified to take up to 10G it's the most advanced aerobatic aeroplane in the world.
The plane has two seats, you sit up front, with a professional pilot behind, and it's him who will take the controls to correct any error which you might make - but don't worry - these planes are easy to fly!
The requirements for this tour are that you weigh between 36 and 122 kg (80 and 269 lbs, 5.7 and 19 stone) and be less than 1.98 metres (6 foot 5). You should have no heart problems, neck or back problems, or suffer from motion sickness. This activity is not suitable for pregnant women.
As this is an aerial combat, it should be taken by two people. If you are only one, you'll fight against an instructor flying the other plane, which will involve a supplemental charge.
Photo and Video
The plane has 3 cameras installed, one at the front, another on the wing and a third focussed on your face. If you want the video of the experience, you can purchase it there and then.
Covid-19 Measures
All of our providers comply with local legislation and applicable health recommendations regarding protective material and safety to help avoid the spread of Covid-19.

Renovating the whole home sounds like a disruptive and troublesome event, but we at DBM (www.dbm.net.au) pride ourselves on being skilled in carrying out complete home renovations for Sydney homeowners in a minimally intrusive way, transforming your house into a sleek modern masterpiece while disturbing the normal rhythms of your day and life as little as possible.
Renovating the interior of an entire house so that the result is unified yet varied, comfortable yet intriguing, requires a dynamic combination of experience, knowledge, and creativity. Our professional interior decorators are able to keep a keen eye on the larger picture, noting the spatial flow of your home's interior and how best to fit each room into that space to make a cohesive whole, yet also attending carefully to all the details which together create both convenience and sophisticated style.
Lines of sight, the balance of light in the interior, and the flow of both open space and that occupied by furniture must be taken into full consideration at each stage of the process. If one side of the house is bright and the other dark, for example, it will create a lopsided, uncomfortable feeling that will cause people to avoid the darker side of the structure's interior.
Lines of sight need to be kept open so that the home feels free, unconfined, and spacious. Even a small home can be made to seem like a place where you have room to stretch out and relax if your eye has a window or other opening to fall upon from nearly any direction, extending perspectives into the outdoors. Transitions from room to room should be definite but smooth, and the whole interior decorated to the same standard to ensure that your house feels well proportioned and harmonious.
Colour, shape, geometry, and texture are used boldly in contemporary design to create striking effects undreamed of throughout history. Whether you prefer a traditional look with just enough freshness and individuality to bring it into the modern age, or an unconventional, futuristic look, DBM can provide you with thorough home renovations in Sydney at an affordable price and unimpeachable quality.

SAN JOSE — After an anchoring Nob Hill grocery store closed in a prominent shopping center two years ago, the owners of a Chinese restaurant a few doors down hoped a new retailer would jump right in.
It hasn't happened. The former supermarket building at 7076 Santa Teresa Boulevard has sat empty. And instead of drawing hungry shoppers, it gathers trash and a pesky new tenant — rats.

It's the match between the guru and his successor, Ashwin, who has played under MSD for years, will be playing against him. Both of the captains are known for their tactics and cleverness, it will be interesting to see how they play in MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Match Details: Kings XI Punjab vs Chennai Super Kings
Date: 06th April, 2019
Time: 04:00 pm IST
Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
Pitch Report: This pitch played better in the last match because of dew, but this is a day match, so expect a spinner to play a big role in this match.
CSK vs KXIP Squad:
Chennai Super Kings
Mahendra Singh Dhoni(C), Suresh Raina, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Kedhar Jadhav, Dhruv Shorey, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sam Billings, David Willey, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Karn Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Mohit Sharma, Monu Kumar, KM Asif, Murali Vijay, Chaitanya Bishnoi, N Jagadeesan.
Kings XI Punjab
Chris Gayle, KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Mandeep Singh, Sam Curran, R Ashwin (c), Varun Chakravarthy, Andrew Tye, Mohammed Shami, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, David Miller, Simran Singh, Nicholas Pooran, Sarfaraz Khan, Murugan Ashwin, Ankit Rajpoot, Hardus Viljoen, Arshdeep Singh, Moises Henriques, Darshan Nalkande, Agnivesh Ayachi, Harpreet Brar
CSK vs KXIP Fantasy Tips
Chennai Super Kings:
Chennai is coming off a loss from their previous match against Mumbai Indians. Chasing a competitive target of 171, Super Kings were never really in the hunt as they lost top 3 batsmen cheaply which meant Jadhav and Dhoni had to rebuild but the latter in particular never looked settled tonight. Once the partnership was broken, there wasn't much that Jadhav (58) could do and the game petered out to a rather dull finish. They have more problems to face as Dwyane Bravo has pulled hamstring injury, they have already lost Ngidi and Willey. Santner is looking probable prospect for Bravo replacement.
Probable XI: Shane Watson, MS Dhoni (c &wk), Suresh Raina, RavindraJadeja, KedarJadhav, AmbatiRayudu, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Mohit Sharma, Shardul Thakur, M Santner
Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab moves to second on the points table – courtesy three wins in four matches. Wins like these will lift the morale of the team. In the absence of Gayle, Ashwin experimented a lot, something which he's never afraid to do, and ended up on the winning side against Delhi. Sam Curran opened the innings and played some eye-pleasing strokes but got out, but his role with the ball was amazing. He turned the match on its head he took 4 wickets for just 11 runs (including a hat trick). All the bowlers responded well under pressure situation. Ashwin will play a huge role in this pitch as he has played for years at this pitch. Along with him, Mujeeb will have a crucial role in this match, also they might bring Andrew Tye in place of HardusViljoen.
Probable XI: RavichandranAshwin (c), MayankAgarwal, Mandeep Singh, David Miller, Mohammed Shami, Lokesh Rahul (wk), MuruganAshwin, Sarfaraz Khan, HardusViljoen/Andrew Tye, Sam Curran, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Abit Fatality AN9 32X nForce 590 SLI Motherboard
There are only a scant few Nvidia nForce 590 SLI platforms for Socket-AM2 on the market today, all showing off fairly similar designs and feature sets. Any motherboard based on this chipset will give you great performance with a pair of graphics cards, and Abit's entry is one of our favorite Socket-AM2 boards we've tested thus far. Abit has nailed their design, providing a solid feature set with no un-necessary frills and concentrating their focus on the hard-core gamer and overclocker.
While it's not particularly attractive to have a pro gamer's name tattooed over everything related to this motherboard, we do highly approve of the sleek red and black look which Abit has used for this motherboard. Beyond color, the design of the AN9 32X is excellent, maximizing airflow between SLI graphics cards, leaving plenty of space for large CPU coolers, and providing dedicated low-noise cooling for the chipset. We also like that Abit moved the audio jacks and CODEC off on to a separate PCB in order to provide additional jacks and decrease electrical noise.
Even more attractive is that Abit is selling this board for lower amounts than their competitors, while at the same time providing a comparable feature set. The Abit platform is missing things like WiFi, eSATA, and diagnostic LCD's, but the core feature set will match up with any other nForce 590 SLI board without question. Throw in a sleek design, excellent overclocking ability, and a nice bundle of extras, and you've got a very solid overall product. If you're looking to build an AMD based gaming system, the Fatality AN9 32X is a superb choice to base it off of. We're giving the Abit AN9 32X a strong 9 on the Heat Meter.

Solid progress yesterday, today.
I enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on Alki and banged out 300 words. More importantly I feel like writing again. The second novel is starting out with a definitively dark tone and I'm going to have to pull it back from the abyss a bit to keep it safely in YA-land. I might need to write a little bit on the contemporary fiction project just to get the darkness out of my system, but then again - darkness seems to be the coloration that sells novels best these days.

Former ECC employee and forum moderator Craig Hill admitted publicly in 2013 that Echinacities does business with crooks at the China Dail Mail. He also said that site is owned by a CCP member who according this link is probably giving resumes of expat foreign job applicants to the government http://www.realscam.com/f8/echinacities-com-feeding-esl-foreign-teacher-resumes-chinese-police-new-world-esl-job-scam-3559/#post78314
Keep in mind Echinacities.com is the same comapny caught last year by wildlife activists for selling animal body parts of enfangered species (rhino horn, bear bile, tiger penis, etc...) see the 4th post in this thread http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=620902
The following comment are not my own. They are posted at another ESL message board but I think the guy who wrote this really connected all the dots...
If you have the time to read 6 threads you will see who ends up with your resumes when you send resumes to these websites. The owner of these two websites is a man named George Xu who is a member of the communist party famous for selling animal parts of endangered species on his website in 2013. See: http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=620902 (see post #4)
Then China Scam Patrol and Fraudwatchers caught them selling resumes to third parties for $100 each and one of the buyers was identified as a known identity thief operating from South China where he has protection from government friends. See: http://ChinaScamPatrol.wordpress.com
Currently a bunch of teachers are getting burned in a police sting operation where fake ads posted at Echinacities.com lead to fake jobs, fake interviews run by the cops who are checking for Z visa and real university degrees. Nobody gets a job from that interview but dozens got arrested and deported (going on for about a month now) See: http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=635700 and also this post here:http://eslwatch.info/china-2/scams-or-schemes-in-china/12226-china-esl-job-recruiter-maggie-liu-new-world-esl-is-a-scam-they-set-me-up.html
An Austrailian guy named Craig who worked for Xu as a moderator at Echinacities.com for two years resigned in protest and exposed many things about their operation and admitted that Xu willfully does business with fake and shady recruiters and unlicensed business partners here: http://chinadailymail.com/2013/12/18...ganda-machine/
I personally signed on to Echinacities as a user named "Monsieur" and asked them directly "What happens to resumes received by Echinacities.com since I got a lot of spam emails and unsolicited calls from non-job related Chinese people?" Within 24 hours my question was deleted. Another user named "Tarzan" asked the question a bit differently and asked about the allegations and he also was deleted within 3 days after people started making comments. The entire thread was deleted! If you doubt this go to the "Answers" section and try it yourself. See: http://ChinaScamWatch.worpress.com - END QUOTE

About Us
The 2018-2019 academic year will be the inaugural year of the UA Debate Series, a monthly forum dedicated to addressing matters of public concern, including (but not limited to) public health, crime, economics, social issues, foreign affairs, and entertainment. Our students debate in British Parliamentary format, both traveling to intercollegiate tournaments and facing off against visiting universities. We gladly invite any schools who may be interested in visiting to contact us!
Interested in joining the UA Debate Series? Want to join the University of Arizona's debate team and get class credit while participating? Fill out the internship application today!
Mission statement
The UA Debate Series is envisioned to engage Arizona's public university students in civil discourse. We honor participants for articulating dramatically different points of view in an environment where combatants can remain friends. It should be our goal to graduate well-educated human beings capable of resolving differences that exist in a democracy in an environment of civil discourse rather than force. Our campuses should provide an opportunity for people to say foolish things in a process that safely allows for change, growth, and correction. It is through such a process that one will come to say smarter things – which of course is the process we call education.
The Inaugural Regents' Cup
November 16, 2019
Optional reception: Friday, November 15, 2019 at University of Arizona
The University of Arizona and the Board of Regents is giving potential applicants the opportunity to compete with ASU and NAU in a tri-university competition highlighting civil discourse through Debate, Discussion, and Storytelling events. This is a great opportunity!
First, second, and third place winning teams will receive scholarship money to apply toward the advancement of their education. Students who are selected to take part in the Regents' Cup also may be eligible to receive either internship or course credit at their university for their work.
Thirteen UA students will be chosen to participate in the events and must meet the following criteria:
- Freshmen through graduate students
- Full-time UA student 2.5 or higher cumulative GPA
- Able to meet university expectations for preparation and participation
Applications are due April 26, 2019. You must submit a 700-1000 word essay to your University. Mock tryouts for finalists will take place during last week of August
Past Debates
November 2018 – Political Correctness
In these divisive times, what we say, and how we say it, matters. Political correctness was in many ways conjured up as a way to address this, but has political consequences gone too far? Are we shutting down conversation when we "watch what we say," or simply becoming more cognizant of who hears us? Watch UA Debates and Dr. Jen Roth-Gordon for a powerful talk on political correctness and language.
October 2018 – Rights to Information
Does the government have the right to protect its information from the press in the interest of national security? Does the press have the right to protect its anonymous sources from the government? Who's looking out for your best interests? Watch for a spirited discussion of this very topical issue! We were joined by the UA Journalism department's own Dr. David Cuillier, security expert Volodymyr Lysenko, and Arizona Public Media's Christopher Conover and Nancy Montoya!
October 2018 – Rights to Vote
How do we ensure free and fair elections? Can our democratic process handle its ideologically diverse citizenry? Have gerrymandering, voter ID laws, and the repeal of the Voting Rights Act fractured our "one person, one vote" philosophy? Are there—should there—be restrictions on who can partake in the voting process? We were joined for a special midterms edition of our speaker series, featuring the whip-smart debate team from Santa Clara University who argued the negative, and our very own debate members Sam Sheeder, Nathan Sawyer, Vincent Jasso, and Savannah Day argued the affirmative on this resolution: That Voting Rights Should be Extended to All.
September 2018 – Immigration
How does immigration law affect our day-to-day lives? What is its impact on our country, and our very own state of Arizona? Get ready and get out to our inaugural Distinguished Speaker Series Event on Immigration and Asylum, featuring three superb experts on the topic, Shefali Milczarek-Desai esq., Dorien Ediger-Seto esq., and Representative Sally Ann Gonzales!

Interview: Pierre Bastien - The Mechanical Wizard
Pierre Bastien reveals a glimpse of his fascinating music universe.
"In this music you are usually more interested in the process of doing music rather than the final result. There's a communion with the other musicians and the audience and the place. This is what is important in this kind of music."

The teams just called in with an update, but it won't be the last one of the day... All teams are on a mission to reach the North Pole! There have been no further signs of bear- no tracks, no bears- great news! Current positions are: Team Yellow N 89° 57.30, East 111° 58 Super Combined Team N 89° 53.9, East 110° 58. Team Yellow has been confronted by a large lead so they are heading East in hopes of finding a way around it and making the last 2.5 nautical miles to the Pole.
With the finish line so close in their sights, they are determined to get there. Super Combined Team are taking a break for dinner, rehydrating and getting a little rest. They plan to break camp in a few hours and continue their trek, skiing through the night till they reach the top of the world! Everyone is pumped up, psyched, full of gritty determination. Once they reach the Pole, they are looking for a rapid helicopter flight to Barneo and perhaps quickly back to Longyearbyen.
Go, go, go! Go, teams, go! Please help in sending them positive Polar energy- we know they have a lot of support behind them so let's all get it out there in the Universe!!
Stay tuned- more update coming as we hear from them at the Pole!

In Berlin to celebrate the New Year? Our club guide should help you find the best way to bring in '09.
If it's house and techno you're looking for, Berlin seems like the obvious place to bring in 2009. The big three clubs all have line-ups to make your mouth water, depending on what you're looking for. Perlon take over the 12th floor of Alexanderplatz's Weekend with one of their feted Superlongevity parties, with sets coming from Matt John, Daniel Bell, Ricardo Villalobos and Zip. If you're into your quirky minimal and want to dance the morning away as you watch the sun rise over the city, then that'll be the party for you.
If, on the other hand, you like your surroundings to be dark and industrial with the music to match, you could do a lot worse than head to Berghain's Klubnacht. With an all-star cast of their residents (Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, Len Faki, Cassy, Prosumer and more) as well as sets from Dinky, Luke Slater and techno stalwart Adam Beyer, it promises to be one hell of a party. If you're looking for something a bit more saucy, disco professor Daniel Wang will be one of the many DJs soundtracking the freaky sexual shenanigans going on in Berghain's Laboratory.
You won't get to see any sex in Watergate, but there'll be plenty of dancing fun to be had with music from Sebo K, Guido Schneider, Konrad Black, Sascha Funke and even a live set from My My. It looks like this is the place to be for fans of M_nus, as it will also see appearances from Magda, Marc Houle and Heartthrob.
Tired of the usual techno tourism nightspots? Maria am Ostbahnhof might be your best bet. Both Thomas Brinkmann and Fehlmann will be on hand, and there'll be a chance to check out Deadbeat's new live set for fans of dubwise dance floor action. There's also a party at .Bhc featuring DFA's Justin Miller and Gomma's Diskokaine for disco fans who don't want to risk a venture into the Laboratory for Daniel Wang's set.
Elsewhere, Blake Baxter will be taking things back to the old school at Tresor, Icon hosts Ed Banger's Vicarious Bliss and Trickski will play Cookies alongside Tiefschwarz. With most of the parties going well into Thursday daytime, we're sure that you'll find plenty of kicks in Berlin this New Year's Eve.
