The progress of students from year 7 to 11 is similar to the results achieved in the top 10% of schools nationally. Ofsted, in September 2016, commented that the 'Leaders have established a powerful mentoring system where every pupil meets their form tutor for a one-to-one' and also praised the way in which pupils are prepared for entering the school in Year 7.
Need identified
A feature of the school is the strong pastoral care that we provide for our young people.
We have embedded a pastoral system that includes:
A mentor for every child in the school. All children have the opportunity, at least every term, to meet with a mentor to provide them with pastoral support. Because this is for everyone, we are able to tailor this to need, with children with greater need having more support and access. This ensures that the child has always a point of contact within the school, usually their tutor, with whom they are entitled to meet with regularly;
We also draw on our more experienced SEND staff, as well as our SLT, to have suitable mentees and reduce the number for the tutors. We are very careful to match mentors with their mentees;
Our tutors follow their tutor groups through their time at the school, to enable them to build up relationships of trust. This also supports the relationships with parents, who establish a point of contact;
We ensure that there is a joined up approach with any external agency working with a child, and readily, but sensitively, sharing appropriate information to support our young people with their school journey;
Mentors record details of the sessions and these are monitored by heads of year and senior leaders;
We place much emphasis on our transition between primary and secondary, to ensure that pupils and their parents are confident that their child's needs will be met upon arrival in high school;
We provide training to support staff and have a whole scheme of work for PSHE to ensure that tutors are delivering high quality lessons.
Resources Required
Staff really see the benefit of this type of work and the impact that it has on pupils, so it is well-supported.
Worth Mentioning
"Teachers foster good relationships with pupils and encourage them to work hard. Pupils behave well in lessons, around school and at breaktimes." Ofsted 2016

Surely I can count my chickens _now_
Sitting in Carob's living room. 5.45am and I haven't really been able to sleep yet, so was time to get out of bed - especially because it was getting kinda tight in there as C and Ella spread out a bit
More on this later.
Yeah, so much has happened since last time I posted.
C's been hating work and really needs a change. Friends of his living in the same city Sugar & I have moved to suggested he take up work there. Would be good for him and, as a very pleasant side effect, mean we don't have to do long-distance, but...
Carob has just hooked up with this girl Ella and dynamics between them are such that it would be quite tough and possibly not viable to try long-distance for their relationship at this stage. So, he's pretty much having to weigh up options, i.e. 'do I stay or do I go'
When I describe the facts of the matter like that, it seems like a simple thing, but it's been slightly fucking with me a bit cos... y'know... missing. And hoping he gets what he needs. And not wanting to be too emotionally invested in what he picks in advance of him making up his mind. I mean, regardless of whether he moves to where I am or stays in our home town, we'll make it work.
That said, I'd obviously love if he was nearer. But if I dream dreams of him moving over, I reckon that just sets me up to feel almost personally rejected if he chooses to stay. I've seen little windows of this. So I've pushed pause in that little corner of my hope snowglobe - pending his decision, which should be soon.
That could come across as a bit unhealthy, like head-in-sand or something, but yeah. Given the dynamic - he's in a new relationship with someone in our home town, and LDR with me - I'd like to give myself the best chance of seeing things from a good perspective rather than warped by jealousy/insecurity/longing/disappointment/whatever. Things are a smidgen messy geographically right now, but... we can do this.
Meanwhile, Sugar had applied for a job back in our home town that would start once his current contract finishes. Unfortunately, he didn't get the job which was pretty shit for him personally and also for the neatness of our future plans. His chosen vocation is notoriously thin on the ground with permanent jobs, so for the foreseeable future (once this job ends early next year) he's either (a) giving up his dream occupation, and trying to cope with that (in the past, he's felt quite down when he hasn't been working in that field, and if you stay out too long it jeopardises your chances of returning to the profession) or (b) accepting short term assignments, possibly anywhere around the world...
He doesn't really want to choose (b) but not sure if (a) will make him happy. Guess we'll find out. Again, I'm trying to stay fairly detached from that. I'm keeping myself busy and cultivating a stable headspace, and also keeping open-minded as to where I live and work in the next few years. Our current plan is moving back to our home city once this job runs out, but really - who knows?
My only confidence is we can make it work, and we'll do our best to communicate through to the best solutions rather than slip into lowest common denominator by default. Have had "We can work it out" looping through my head fairly frequently of late
OK OK so enough of that already. I had fucking amazing sex last night. At the moment I'm back to home city for a visit. Sugar and I had to go to a friend's wedding in a nearby city so we thought we'd take the opportunity to drop by. S had to return to work but I'm staying another week. Is the first time I've been back since Carob and Ella hooked up, so... yeah. Before Sugar went back, we had a dinner the four of us. Was a tad off-kilter e.g. among other things: C had just told Ella the previous day that he was thinking of moving away, and she was understandably upset and I imagine feeling quite insecure about things... as for me, I hadn't yet caught up with Carob one-on-one since I'd been back, before the dinner. The order of things had got a bit topsy-turvy, but it needed to be that way to make time for everyone to meet up before S scooted off.
Still with me?
Anyway, now Sugar is back and I'm here for another week by myself. Ella said she'd like to catch up with me once or twice before I go, so we took the chance to hang out a bit yesterday.
Well now.
She made me coffee and we were outside sitting on the grass at her place talking. First time we'd talked just the two of us since she and Carob got together. She wrote me a letter (handwritten letter, woo! Lady after my own tastes) which kinda expressed a bit of how she was feeling, but of course it's far superior to talk in person. We covered a bit of ground, then at one point she said "do you want to make out?"
Now Carob had teasingly mentioned things like threesomes, and dripped fantasies into my ear about how it would be to make out with Ella. I ran with them as fantasies sometimes, but really thought that it was presumptuous to assume that would be the case - especially since, as far as I knew, C hadn't brought this up with Ella.
Anyway, I actually had to think about whether I wanted to kiss her or not. I mean, if not for complicating factors, I'd be carefree and go with the vibe and see where things go. But I felt like I shouldn't be that impulsive, given their new relationship and not wanting to affect the healthy trajectory of that, esp with C still not sure of what he wants to do with moving or not. So I thought for a moment about potential pitfalls, if I felt like this was a right step... (this is very unusual for me, maybe I have finally grown up! Haha)
Anyway all signs pointed to: YES.
We kissed. We talked some more. We cuddled. It got darker. We made out some more. I shared passionately my limited knowledge of the visible constellations. She seemed to like that. We got cold, and went to bed. She is really beautiful and said that I was 'smokin hot', which floored me in the best way. At some point we got hungry as we both hadn't eaten since breakfast.
She suggested we catch up with Carob for food. I didn't mind either way - meeting up with him or not. The initial plan (before, ah, god, the sweet nakedness and taste of her skin) was for me to catch up with Ella and then swing round to C's and stay there the night. Now it seemed like we were gonna try this out, how nice is a triangle in bed together?
Turns out - VERY VERY VERY VERY nice. Holy fuck we had fun. I've had a few experiences of group sex but not many. This was a first for me - negotiating the emotions of three people in I suppose a V-shaped relationship bringing bodies together... I was concerned that everyone would feel included and safe and loved. From my perspective, that definitely happened. Lots of touching, group cuddles, I felt held and reassured even when I had the briefest press of skin-on-skin.
We dabbled with a bit of psychological play (apparently she's been discovering her submissiveness since she met Carob) and general roleplaying and a toyed a bit with the pain/pleasure tightrope. Not too much, just a taste. It was good.
We cuddled to sleep the three of us. Is a squeeze in the bed but we made an admirable effort to be sure. Unfortunately for me, though, I was too hyped up to be able to sleep. Not sure when we eventually turned in, but I gave sleeping a good go, at least 3 hours. It was cosy and I didn't want to hop out of bed as I usually do when I can't get to sleep. Also I didn't want them to wake up and wonder where I was, and worry I didn't feel like I had enough room, or I wasn't feeling comfortable for whatever reason.
Anyway, we're definitely going to have to step gently over the next wee while getting used to things. I want to leave enough room for Carob to figure what he wants. I want to let C and Ella's relationship between themselves stand up on its own legs. I'm open to things developing more as a threesome (or maybe foursome, I guess that's the inevitable question, though obviously not the foregone conclusion!) but it's early for their relationship and I'd like them to enjoy and navigate things a bit more just the two of them. If Carob decides to stay, they'll get plenty of space for that by default. So I can see why staying would be good for their relationship. If C can find better work here and sort himself out so he doesn't feel stuck in a rut here (like he does at the moment) it could be the neatest solution. But yeah, guess I'll see what he chooses.
Meanwhile, I'm still feeling really high from the spectacular sexing. My god, the intensity. I really really liked it. I'm keen to find out what the other two's verdicts are. They mumbled positively as they fell asleep but I'd like to look them in the eye over breakfast
We're hopefully going to the local cafe at which the staff who know us seem to have assumed that Carob is cheating on me since I've been away. Hehe. Will be fun.
Okay, managed to kill an hour and a half writing this and other e-mails. 7am... wonder if I can persuade C + E to wake up. Maybe if I took coffee to bed...

Workshop on Valuation and Well-Being
On March 10th, we will host a workshop on valuation and well-being in Stirling University. Those with an interest in the area are welcome to attend. There is no registration fee but places are limited by space and we would ask people to register in advance at the following link. The preliminary programme is below and will be updated shortly.
Scope of Workshop
The key aim of the workshop is to advance understanding of the comparison between different methods of revealing preferences and valuations for public and private goods. One key aspect of this is to understand how well-being and stated preferences measures compare and contrast. While there has been some literature on this, there is still a lot needed to be learned about this comparison. Furthermore, we would like to understand what new methods such as the day reconstruction method contribute to understanding about revealed preference.
- Comparing well-being and stated preference measures to value cultural and heritage goods
- Using day reconstruction methods to develop new measures of well-being and revealed preference
- The potential for validated mental health measures to be used in valuing public goods
- Examining psychological features of stated preference elicitation
- Comparing revealed and stated preference measures
9am to 915am: Opening and Introduction: Liam Delaney (University College Dublin).
9.15 to 10am: Nick Hanley (St Andrews): "Emotions, personality and stated choices for environmental public goods", (with Christopher and Mikolaj Czajkowski.)
10am to 1045am: Mirko Moro (Stirling): "Valuing the Environment using Well-Being Data".
11am to 11.45: David Comerford (Stirling): "Inferring Preferences from Choice Data: The Role of Act Utility". (with Leo Lades).
11.45 to 1230: Susana Mourato (LSE): "Well-Being and Stated Preference Approaches for Valuing Cultural and Heritage Goods".
1230 to 130: Lunch
1.30 to 2.15: Leo Lades (Stirling): "Assessing subjective well-being when preferences are dynamically inconsistent" (with Liam Delaney).
2.15 to 3pm: Verity Watson (Aberdeen): "Using social psychology to improve stated preference responses: Evidence from the lab".
3pm to 345pm: Professor Danny Campbell (Stirling); "Response latency in stated preference surveys: does it matter?".
Conclusion and Keynote: Glenn Harrison (George State University).

Use Social Media and Gaming for Employee Training
Use Social Media and Gaming for Employee Training
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
The way we absorb information is a tricky subject. Just think about that hit song on the radio you listen to once. The next time you hear it, you instantly recognize the beat, the rhythm, and can even sing along with it. However, when it comes to recognizing an answer to a question you read a week before, like on a test, your brain just doesn't seem to pull up the answer so regularly.
It all has to do with the way our brains absorb and process information. We are social animals. We evolved that way. We were not programmed to sit down and study in a quiet, boring atmosphere. We're roamers and hunters and, well, chatterers. Humans excel far more in social environments where they're engaged, entertained and are having fun. So why has the world been so slow to recognize this and to institute changes in the workplace environment?
Thanks to innovative and engaging methods of employee training, we can explore new ways to train in a social, peer-to-peer, knowledge-rich environment that's intriguing, entertaining, and actually encouraging for employees.
New Methods of Training for Better Retention
In today's technology driven age, people are less receptive to by-the-book learning and training methods. This is a fact found across the board, even with children, as statistics suggest that children who watch engaging, entertaining web videos dealing with math (division, multiplication, geometry, calculus) absorb and retain much more of the material. When presented in a fun, engaging, interactive way, the student actually wants to learn; they want to participate. The same can be said with on-the-job training of your employees.
If employees are presented with enticing, interactive training methods that actually explore the imagination and make the learning and development of skill-sets something intriguing, the employees are going to pick up the material faster, retain more of it, and the atmosphere this develops will help the workforce become a more productive force for the company.
Let's focus on the social learning aspect and discuss how it can benefit employees in multiple ways.
Social Learning: Its Unique Benefits and Implementation
There's a lot that falls under the banner of social learning. It has to do with using today's technology and "networking" atmosphere to create more communication amongst your workforce. It also deals in peer-to-peer training, knowledge sharing, and a bottom-up training routine that emphasizes effectiveness in the workplace.
For instance, it has long been the standard that a manager train employees based on the instructions coming from the top-down. Corporate or the head wig sets the standards, and thus they must trickle down – everyone must conform. With a peer-to-peer social learning approach, the actual employees of the company are responsible for helping to train one another. It's a way of keeping things more "in the family," so to speak, rather than having a head power dictate rules. This type of knowledge sharing and peer involvement creates enthusiasm in the workplace. Employees want to achieve higher standards; they want to outperform and do better.
Example of a Key Benefit
One of the biggest benefits of this type of social learning is engagement. Engagement, in a social context, is vital for growth and development. The more engaged your employees are with your company and with one another, the more productive they will be. Social learning here places emphasis on different games and employee exercises.
Games can deal with trivia, different apps and polls, training-based games, games that present different statistics in a fun way, etc. Instead of working from the top down, implementing games into the workplace allows for a bottom-up way of learning, where the entire workforce grows together.
Example of Implementation
The implementation of social learning techniques in the workplace can be rather simple. A great example here would be allowing your team to actually train one another in a peer-to-peer format. Using social-based learning and different games, employees can help each other grow and understand what is required in the workplace. This can be extrapolated past the initial learning process and can become a conducive element of the environment. Employees competition against one another in contests writing questions, offering suggestions, choosing the best new project, etc – these are all ways to help your employees embrace the idea of social learning, gaming, and bottom-up learning.
These techniques are often used in the education of students via charter schools and online universities. Employers needing to make a profit have been slow to institute these changes, because there's always the fear of change in business. But as social media becomes more popular and relied upon more heavily, more and more employers are going to start introducing social learning methods into the workplace environment.

Do you often tell yourself that you can't do something? I probably say "I can't" at least once a day, if not more. More often than not, that is the thing that prevents me from accomplishing a goal. Not circumstances. Not another person. My own brain holds me back. We all have those things that we think we are naturally good at, and those things that we think we just can't do. Why do we develop these beliefs about ourselves? Did someone tell you that you couldn't do something? Do you have a fear of stepping outside of the box you feel comfortable in? Are you worried about being judged if you don't get something exactly right the first time?
Often times our mental narratives are built by childhood and adolescent experiences. Sometimes it was a negative experience that formulated this belief. Sometimes it was a seemingly benign statement by an authority figure. You observed someone you respected and identified with have the same beliefs about themselves. A bully made fun of us for something. A teacher told us that we just are better at one thing and not very good at another. A parent who had low self-esteem or an ingrained belief about what was possible or not possible for them to achieve.
So what can we do about this? How can we push ourselves past our biggest obstacles? The obstacle of the ingrained belief system is the hardest obstacle to crack. Once you know you can do something, it becomes easier and easier over time. Positive reinforcement that you CAN do something creates a new belief in the mind and eradicates the old doubts. These 3 steps can help you achieve exactly that.
Step 1: Setting Goals and Formulating a Plan
What is something that you want to do so badly, but believe that you just can't do? What exactly is the belief you tell yourself is the reason why you cannot achieve this goal? What is your why? Why do you want to do it and why do you think that you can't?
Now I want you to think of ways you can work around those obstacles you tell yourself exist. What can you actually do that can solve the problem that exists? Do you not feel knowledgeable enough? What are some steps you can take to increase your knowledge on it so that you can combat that belief you hold? Do you feel physically incapable of doing something? What aids can you use to get you to the point where you can do something you currently can't? If there is something that doesn't already exist to help you solve your problem that holds you back then can you create something yourself to do so?
Make out your plan to help you overcome the things you believe are holding you back. It's rarely an outside influence that holds us back, but an internal belief that there is no way to overcome an obstacle. There are always resources we can find to help us achieve most of the things we want to do. So what tools can you use and what plan can you follow to take you from point A, where you are now, to point B, the end result of achieving your goal? Write it all down. Make a flow chart. Form a storyboard or vision board. Whatever you need to see how you can put your plan into action.
Step 2: Put Your Plan Into Action
Now this is the step where people get tripped up. We all know or are those people who talk about someday I'm going to do this or eventually I'm going to do that. They make a million plans but never take action on them. So many people dream and dream big but never DO anything to achieve those dreams. They are still holding themselves back. Their mind is telling them that they can't, and so they don't even try.
So how does a person overcome this? How do you get past your mind telling you that you just can't do it and put your plan into action? You don't focus on the end zone. Focusing on the end result gives you a kind of tunnel vision where you can only see where you aren't at rather than how to get there. When you plan a trip, do you just look at a picture of the place and wish your way there and then lament when you haven't gotten there yet despite wishing every day? No. When you plan a trip you chop it up into smaller pieces and formulate your plan to get there (step 1). Then you have to actually set foot outside your door and make your way there. We are not Dorothy and able to click our heels to get where we want to be. You have to put in the legwork to get there.
Focus on ONLY the first step. It makes it so much easier to tell yourself you only have to do this one small thing. Once you achieve this one small step on your way to the bigger end goal, you will have developed a trust that you can achieve that one small thing and it becomes that much less scary. You've already done it! You obviously can do that one thing after you've shown yourself you can. Then the journey is that much shorter and less intimidating. So then you move on to focusing only on the second step, and so on and so on. Each small achievement increases your faith in yourself to be able to accomplish your goal, increment by increment. This is how we battle the mindset. We prove to ourselves that it is false and replace it with a new true belief.
Step 3: Enlist the Aid of Others
Find your crew that will sing your praises, the people you can rely on to back you up when you need it. If you don't have anyone like that in your personal life (many people put their own beliefs and fears into you when it comes to our family, friends, etc…), then find yourself a mentor. Search online for motivational speakers, people who know how to succeed at what you are trying to do, teachers, counselors, consultants, or anyone else that can keep you active in your plan and on the right track. Find books, videos, courses, retreats…whatever you need to keep you motivated.
People who succeed will often tell you, they didn't do it all on their own. They sought help when they needed it to help them get to where they are now. They didn't sit around waiting for help to magically show up on their doorstep and do it for them. They kept themselves motivated. Once you start, you need to find ways to keep your momentum going. If the ball stops, it takes more energy and effort to get it going again than while it is already in motion. Don't be afraid to ask for help. We all need help to get where we want to go in life. It is not weakness to admit you need others to keep you on track. It is strength.
You are stronger and more capable than you think you are. Don't be afraid to try. Don't be afraid to fail. You are stronger than your negative self-beliefs. And remember, failure is only one step on the way to success. We learn each time we fail, so just remind yourself that failure is positive as long as you keep going. It is only negative when you let it discourage you, and you give up.
To review: Formulate your plan, Put it into action one step at a time, and Find people to help you keep on track. These 3 steps will help you naturally overcome the limits you put on yourself and build new positive self-beliefs while shattering the old negative ones.

Most Saint Paul residents would like to think they have many years remaining to live. At the same time, individuals understand that any day could be the last one for a person on Earth, as accidents and other incidents occur that can unexpectedly take a person's life.
What can a power of attorney do for me?
Every now and again, many St. Paul residents need a little bit of help in order to manage their affairs. While it often works well to handle these issues informally, there are circumstances in which it may be necessary to have a more formal arrangement in place. Through a power of attorney, individuals can give another person the responsibility of acting on their behalf.
Meeting your goals through trust planning
A little bit of planning can go a long way for St. Paul residents. On a smaller scale, individuals plan their activities more than they may realize, whether it be planning for meetings at work, or planning for a vacation. When it comes to major events in life, however, there is no question that planning is important in order to make sure every detail is taken care of and considered before the event occurs.
Taking the time to create the right estate plan
Many baby-boomers in Minnesota have spent years, even decades, planning for their retirement. Unfortunately, the same individuals often have not spent nearly the same amount of time and care engaging in estate planning, which will determine the distribution of assets that will occur upon their death.

Texas Hold em Poker Regulation
The Essential Texas Hold 'em Poker Regulation is to earn the very best possible 5 card mix straight from both opening cards plus the five neighborhood bank cards. Before every flop, turn or river is dealt, shed cards are disposed of to make sure that dishonesty has actually potentially not been done. Opening cards need to constantly be dealt face location down or else a misdeal is likely to be called and playing cards, reshuffled. If hole cards are subjected prematurely as an outcome of the dealer, a re-deal is likely to be done; if that error was a player's, the game passes.
Profitable poker games

Delight in anything, they had to work out ways to win and deal with doing it quite a few times before they could do it efficiently. It's also a superb deterrent for a get-rich-quick scheme kind people who think they are going to obtain some convenient money playing Holdem poker. If you genuinely most certainly are a fully committed poker games and want to truly make several significant cash making use of Poker, learn even a lot more currently.
Terrified money does not necessarily win poker cash
Gradually the adhering to little change in mindset, my state of mind, made all that difference. I quickly found my opponents folding to a re-raises. I have actually been winning larger planting pots, my plays got extra regard, and it transformed my extensive cash video game approximately. I had much more significant losses some days or weeks too, but all around, it enhanced my cash money video game a great deal.
I had actually lately been playing as "scared cash" and really did not also know it at the time.

Recently I decided to take a knitting class. It's nearly fall here even though it is going to be 96°F today. The leaves are starting to turn orange and I have always thought of knitting as a fall and winter activity like with a cozy fire crackling in the fireplace, a mug of hot tea steaming, and knitting needles clicking away. I don't have a fireplace, but I'm working on the mug of tea and knitting part.
I'm still sewing often, blog posts to come, but I'm kind of excited to have a real "slow craft" project. I whipped up a simple black dress on my sewing machine in a couple of hours this weekend which is great! Don't get me wrong! But, there is something about working on a piece for several weeks, not just because of mistakes, that I am looking forward to. Slow craft really gives you time to think and reflect while you are working with your hands.

Why add a friend
or friends?
Who is a friend/contact?
Anyone you
know who you want to link to. Old friends, new friends, acquaintances,
colleagues - people you've met here on this website. You can be selective or gregarious. Some people just list one
friend who - someone who has written about them on their profile
"It's not what you know it's who you know"...
Adding friends gives your profile increased interest and
credibility. A lot of the worry about the whole Internet Dating business
is as to whether people are real and what is their motive. If you're linked to a
few reasonable looking people who say you're a nice guy then people are more
likely to take you seriously.
Don't just think Internet Dating - think Social Networking! This is a
great opportunity to interact with other people for your mutual benefit.
What can you do with
this feature?
Double dates - parties - match up friends - find out more
about people ++
Use your imagination - go people-surfing!
How do I add a friend/contact?
You can do this from their
profile (where there is a link) or from the Friends page (press 'People' on main
navigation bar). It is really good if you add a little description about your
friend - so that people can at least tell if they're really old friends - or new
I have friends who
aren't members - what can I do?
You can also add non-member friends. Maybe they're up for
going on a double date or to social events with you but can't be bothered to
fill in a profile
Also you can then easily send them profiles of members to tempt
them to join. You just need to add a brief description of your friend - so
people know what they're like. Their email address is kept strictly confidential
and is for your use only.
Can everyone see who all my friends are?
It depends. You have complete control over what your Friends gallery
looks like and you can 'hide' certain friends. Your Friends
gallery is the public page that displays
your friends to other members.
Someone has added me as a friend/contact - what do I do?
How do I know if someone has friends?
There will be a link on their
profile. You can also search for members who have listed friends/contacts.
Any other cool
Checkout your Friends of Friends gallery to
see who your friends friends are. This can be very interesting!

Faculty of Community and Health Sciences
Title: Assessing factors contributing to staff attrition among Primary Health Care workers in Bwari Area Council of FCT, Nigeria
Student Name: Adah-Ogoh Anne Ene
Student Number: 3116456
Type of Thesis (choose one): Mini-thesis or Full Masters Thesis or Doctoral Thesis Mini Thesis
Degree: MPH
Department/School: School of Public Health, University of Western Cape
Supervisor: Dr. Busisiwe Nkosi
Co-Supervisor: (if any)
Date: 28/ 01/2013
10 Keywords: Attrition, Health care workers, Rural, urban, factors, primary health care centres, employment, facilities, rates, Nigeria
Attrition can be defined as the number of health workers who permanently leave their posts, retire, and relocate to other health facilities nationally or internationally Attrition among health care workers is due to a number of reasons which include but are not limited to retirement, death, dismissal and voluntary resignation Attrition among health care workers in Nigeria is a major factor that contributes to the plummeting health indices of the country. Even though frequently spoken about, there are very few recent studies that are available in Nigeria describing the factors contributing to attrition among health care workers. The objectives of the study are to explore the factors that contribute to the exit of employees from health care facility where they previously worked or contribute to them seeking employment in another health facility. The study also seeks to verify if there are differences between the factors that contribute to attrition in the rural area and the urban primary health care centres within Bwari area council since some existing literature over ten years old especially in the west area of Nigeria suggest so. In this descriptive observational study, self-administered pre tested questionnaires will be distributed to specialized cadre of health care workers which includes doctors, pharmacists, nurses and laboratory scientist or technicians who have left their jobs in eight out of the twenty five primary health care centres located in Bwari area council of Abuja. These Self-administered questioners will describe the various factors that contribute to attrition among the health care workers. The study sample would consist of health care workers who have resigned from health facilities in Bwari area council but still reside in Bwari. The data collected would be analysed using epi info statistical system and presented to the health care workers and members of the administration of Bwari area council as statistical tables, bar graphs and pie charts. The study also would serve as basis for other researchers who might want to describe associations between any of the factors that contributed to attrition as described in the study.
Attrition among health care workers results in decreased availability, accessibility, quality and utilization of health services especially in rural areas.This is very significant especially in Nigeria where more than 70% of the populations live in the rural areas and have access to primary health care centres providing only basic level care and refferals. The health workforce in Nigeria is mostly concentrated in urban areas which consists more of secondary and tertiary health care services.This has contributed significantly to the declining or stagnating key health indices in Nigeria where recent statistics reveal that life expectancy dropped from 53.8 years for females and 52.6 years for males in 1991 to 48.2 years for females and 46.8 years for males in 2000. The infant mortality rate (IMR) rose from 87.2 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 105 in 1999. Nigerian urban areas are also more attractive to healthcare professionals due to the social, cultural and professional advantages of urban work. Large metropolitan centres offer greater opportunities for career...

I have two simple conditions setup on my form - if condition A fulfilled, send email #1. If condition B is fulfulled, send email #2. The conditions are the two options on a radio button (so it is impossible to select both). It is required, so it is also impossible to select neither.
But any time I complete the form, but emails #1 and #2 are being sent.

I was making soft pretzels the other day when I needed several minutes to do the steps without being bothered. I'd remembered eating at Il Vicino with the Anyanonu's months ago and thought it was interesting that they gave kids some pizza dough to play with while we waited for our meal. So while Canaan was in his high chair, I pinched out some dough for him and kneaded it with flour so it wasn't sticky. I let him play with it until he got tired of it...about 20 minutes. Boys and girls, I thought that was spectacular for a 19 month old active little boy!
So the next time you're cooking and needing a few minutes without your kids running wild. Have them "cook" with you by giving them some dough for them to "make their own" whatever.
TIP: Make a batch or 1/2 batch every week. Keep in fridge for times of need.
TIP 2: Give them tools to play with the dough. Spoons, wooden dowls as rolling pins, forks, straws, etc.
Any bread dough will work. Here's an easy one:
Pizza/soft pretzel dough
2 cups warm water
1 T sugar
1 pkg yeast (or 2 1/4 t)
5 to 6 cups flour
Activities for the kids so you can get stuff done #2: Pizza Dough

Ask: "What are some of your favorite stories of prayers being answered?" (Possible answers: Joseph Smith, Enos, Daniel, Nephi, and, hopefully, the children's own prayers or a family story.)
Make the following wordstrips with the corresponding questions on the backs:
• WHO? / Who needs to pray? To whom do we pray? In whose name do we pray? Who answers our prayers?
• WHAT? / What is a prayer? What different prayers might you hear today? (e.g., prayer in a congregation, personal prayer, family prayer, sacrament prayers, blessing of a baby, blessing of a sick person, setting apart of someone)
• WHEN? / When should we pray? (see Alma 32:17–27 and My Achievement Days booklet, front cover)
• WHERE? / Where should we pray? (see Matt. 6:6 and My Achievement Days booklet, front cover)
• WHY? / Why do we pray? (to talk to Heavenly Father, to find out His will, to thank Him, to ask for blessings)
• HOW? / If someone didn't know how to pray, how would you teach him/her? (see "I Pray in Faith," CS, p. 14), What special language do we use when we pray? (see Friend, Apr. 1991, pp. 36–37).
Distribute the wordstrips among the classes, then have them determine the answers and choose a panelist to make a brief presentation. After all presentations, let the other children ask any related questions; direct them to the appropriate panelist.
Sing a song about prayer with which the children are familiar (see "Prayer" in the CS Topics index).
Share a personal experience and/or invite one or two children to share a personal or family story about an answer to prayer.
For younger children: Using pictures from the library, tell stories of prayer from the scriptures. Teach the children that we begin prayers by addressing Heavenly Father and end them in the name of Jesus Christ.
Sing "I Pray in Faith" (CS, p. 14). Talk about when and where they can pray.
Have them repeat the statement on the front cover of the My Achievement Days booklet—"I can pray to Heavenly Father anytime, anywhere."

Finns' lunch - nachos
This was Finns' lunch today. Sort of thrown together. I used what was on hand.
I browned off some lean beef mince with some homemade taco seasoning and some tomato puree. It looks a little dry, I should have added a splash of water to it.
I added the beef to the layer of tortilla chips and then added some sour cream, avocado, grated cheese, sweet chile sauce and the chopped mango (only because I know Finn likes it).
Add whatever you like, olives, tomato salsa, refried beans, fresh herbs and make a large plate for everyone to share.

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share you ideas and experiences.
I have a Thundercraft F14? Sprint, with a Merc 350 (35H.P.).
I've been trying to get information on-line about this boat / motor, but can't seem to find it...
I was wondering if anyone here might know some good links or leads I could follow up??
Any and all information is greatly appriciated!!
The boat was given to me, it is about 15 feet long, has 4 seets, and was born with a 50HP merc? It came with a great trailer. I have never had one on the water, so I'm desperately looking forward to it!!
I checked the compression yesterday, it is 130(top plug) 135(bottom plug). I also checked the ?gearbox? at the prop... there was a little water inside (1/4 cup, maybe), then just oil ran out.
The boat has sat for a couple of years, in someones backyard.
Any tips would be great!! I don't want to miss anything and cook it... I know about the 'water muffs' now when I start it out of water. I think that's about it...
Follow Ups:
And for goodness sake, if you live where it gets cold in the winter, do not let the motor sit outside. Water in the lower end will expand and crack the metal housing and who knows what else. Can be expensive to repair. Replace the lube just before storing it. Happy boating.
Your Motor info, Year and tech info can be found at www.maxrules.com They have an excellent tech board for help with repairs etc. It is where retired motor techs and outboard hotrodders hang out. As for the water, could be a bad prop shaft seal. This should not be too difficult to fix in your yard, if you are mechanically inclined and have a few tools.I would test it first by filling with lube and running for a short hop maybe 5 miles at varied speeds on the water.Bring the boat home tilt the motor down all the way. Place a peice of card board under the prop area, let it sit all night and see if you have any leaks the next morning. If oil can seep out. Water will get in. Goodluck,TG

So, it's June.
You made that resolution in January
How's that working out for you?
Well, of course I know it's not working
I can help with that
First step, let's set you up for success
I want to be in your life more, but let's not make goals that aren't realistic
I want you to sit down tonight and write down your favorite time with me
Now write down one goal around that experience
Can you attend church once a month?
How about starting to pray as a family at a meal in the next week?
Maybe reading one bible verse a month?
Attend a Christian music concert this year?
Start a journal around our time together?
Whatever you decide, make it simple and meaningful to you
And remember, you should only make one goal.
Now, put it somewhere you will see it regularly.
That smartphone calendar seems to work good, try putting it in there as a recurring reminder.
It meant a lot to me that you took the time to read this.
I'm so proud of you, keep up the great work!
"If ye ask anything in my name, I will do it" John 14:14
P.S. I can help you make your resolution next year. One more tip . I've seen your crazy schedule, you may just want to throw a resolution planning reminder in the smart phone too. I've got time, but you tend to get overbooked.

"Oslo" was the big news!
November 13, 2007
It has been about good two weeks that I am back from Microsoft SOA & BPM Conference and finally have a chance to throw something in my blog. And the big news is "Oslo"!
What is "Oslo"? Oslo is a Microsoft's Next Generation SOA based on multitude of technologies combined to create this visionary platform which includes .NET Framework, Visual Studio, BizTalk Server and System Center as a whole. The vision is fairly wide and open and even Microsoft doesn't seem to have laid out the blueprint of "Oslo" yet. Expect to see several rounds of this technoglogy over a period of another year or two.
The big bang idea behind "Oslo" is a Model Driven Development (MDD) where models are the abstraction implemented directly over the underlying code. Models are just one third of the "Oslo" story and if you would like to read more about it, visit Charles Young's blog or Microsoft SOA.

For more details, email Julian.
Chichester Humanists talk 15th August: Being Gay in the UK
Peter Cornwell of Worthing Pride gave us a well presented and interesting talk about the problems faced by the Gay and Lesbian community in the UK.
His approach was to outline the main historical changes to UK law. Queen Victoria was partlly responsible for the first anti-homosexual Act in 1885; this only applied to men, because she didn't think lesbianism was possible. A few years later, Oscar Wilde was put on trial.

The CIA developed a small espionage drone back in the 1970s that resembled a dragonfly. Now that it is on display, viewers are truly impressed by how realistic the tiny spy looks.
According to Business Insider, the drone was called an "Insectothopter," and was used as a discreet way of recording and collecting audio intelligence.
The ahead-of-its-time drone is now on display at CIA Museum in Langley, Virginia, and is an object of intrigue to everyone who comes to view the exhibit. Because of security considerations, only a select few are able to personally visit the museum to gaze at the spy tech of the past.
Advertisement - story continues below
"Its five galleries are hidden from public view, accessible only to CIA employees and special guests who've been granted security clearance," Slate reported. "In these rooms lie artifacts from decades of espionage dating back to World War II, when the CIA's predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was established."
But in the digital world, physical presence is no longer required. The has made some of its considerable collection available for online viewing.
TRENDING: Provision Hidden in Border Compromise Deal Lets Small Town Mayors Cripple Trump: Report
The Insectothopter was one of the agency's tiniest spies, measuring in at just 2.3 inches long and weighing only one gram. According to the CIA, it was created to, "prove the concept of such miniaturized platforms for intelligence collection" was possible.
"A tiny, gas-powered engine crammed into the insectothopter's thorax moved the wings up and down, giving the tiny drone height and thrust. A laser beam, according to the CIA's insectothopter video, 'provided guidance and acted as the data link for the audio sensor payload,'" Atlas Obscura explained.

I mean, how cool is it that a dragonfly had a laser beam on its head?!
The technology was created with help from a watchmaker and during the test flights the drones had an impressive range of about 650-feet, but had a flight time of only 60 seconds.
According to multiple outlets, the project was eventually canceled and the dragonfly drones were decommissioned after they proved to be too susceptible to crosswinds in the field.
This project, however, opened the door to many more spy drones based on animals. Another one on display at the museum is known as Charlie. Charlie was a robotic fish with a communication system built into its belly, and was able to operate unmanned and underwater.
Advertisement - story continues below
According to the CIA, Charlie's capabilities included, "speed, endurance, maneuverability, depth control, navigational accuracy," and most freaky of all, "autonomy."
Add Charlie and the Insectothopter to the fact that the CIA used to use camera-mounted pigeons, and you'll see why the museum is such a hit with the few visitors who are allowed in.
But considering the engineering advances that have taken place since the 1970s in the fields of robotics, miniature devices and cameras, it is a little disconcerting to consider the possibility that innocent-appearing dragonflies you see, or even fish underwater, could be spies for the CIA.
Talk about thinking outside the box!

Juvenile Charges
The handling of criminal offenses that involve juveniles is much different than those that involve adults. A specific set of rules and procedures exist for juvenile offenses. One major difference is that these cases are not decided by a jury, but solely by a juvenile court judge.

Let us help you during this pivotal time in your life. The attorneys at Nooney & Roberts understand juvenile criminal cases. We are familiar with the system and understand that the juvenile justice system functions differently than the standard justice system for adults. If you are the parent or guardian of a child charged with a crime, we can help. Having an experienced defense attorney to represent you is just as crucial in the juvenile justice system as it is in the adult justice system.

The Price of Magic, Senta and the Steel Dragon Book 7, was set up in book 6. Reading through them, they really feel like parts one and two of a story arc, although that wasn't quite the way I planned it. I wanted it to be a bit more open-ended.
The Price of Magic was much easier to write than The Sorceress and her Lovers. It's probably the longest book that I've written straight through without stopping. I had just finished His Robot Girlfriend: Charity and started in on Astrid Maxxim and the Electric Racecar Challenge, stopped that and wrote a bit on Kanana the Jungle Girl. Finally, I set all that aside and jumped back into Birmisia and Senta, and it seemed like that was what I was meant to be writing.
Perhaps what made it so much fun to write was that I was dealing with Iolana Dechantagne Staff as a fourteen-year-old. I seem to be making a career of writing about teen girls– between Senta in The Drache Girl and Astrid Maxxim. In any case, I really enjoyed writing Iolana's portions of the book as well as Tokkenoht's. She had not been one of the primary characters up until this point.
When I finished, the pieces of the next book just fell into place. I sat down and wrote out a very complete outline for it. I'm kind of itching to get started on it. As usual, this story will follow five characters, two of them we know, but have not seen the world from their point of view before. Another has been a primary character, but not for several books. Mostly I'm excited because there are lot's of "oh my God!" moments for long-time readers of the series. I've mentioned the title before– A Plague of Wizards.

I was just working on a blog post, and I accidentally clicked "Close Other Tabs" on the tab context menu. Oops. There went that post. I really wish they would use the same warning dialog that pops up when you're closing the browser while viewing multiple tabs. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

Fitur, the International Tourism Trade Fair in Madrid
IFEMA carries out studies on business opportunities in fields which interest exporters and helps those companies and professionals participating at trade fairs.The Prince and the Princess of Asturias inaugurated the trade fair which is expected to generate an economic impact estimated at some 180 million euros, will bring together an extensive range of destinations and the best tools when it comes to enhancing business, promotional and marketing strategies within the field of tourism. The trade fair, which will feature the participation of nine thousand companies from 165 countries and expects to attract more than 200,000 visitors, will have an important economic impact on the City of Madrid. That demonstrates the importance of FITUR on the international circuit of tourism sector events.
FITUR will occupy an exhibition area measuring 54,000 sq. metres, distributed throughout Halls at Feria de Madrid. One of the main added-value aspects of the trade fair will once again take the form of FITUR's different monographic sections, consisting of a series of different trade meetings and conferences, as well as the corresponding exhibitions areas. These sections have grown and developed over the years, offering different forums for business and analysis within the industry.
FITUR Gay 2014 introduces members of the industry to the LGBT Market, which accounts for 15% of worldwide travel expenditure. It will provide the ideal setting for professionals to discover all of the products and services aimed at this growing tourist market. In this respect, alongside the exhibition area, participants in this section of the trade fair will find an extensive programme of conferences and roundtables.
We must bear in mind that tourism has become an important business within the realm of international trade, based on a turnover that is high as or even surpasses activity that several industries. In this respect, it is an activity that must be made compatible with nature and society.

So there has been a bit of controversy going around the tech world over the last few weeks. Nothing new there really, there's always some new cutting edge process or piece of software coming out that causes a lot of discussion. But this time the controversy isn't about a new system, but a new policy to be rolled out by Google called 'Funding Choices'. This initiative is due to be rolled out in North America, the UK, Germany, Australia and New Zealand over the next few months, and will require Google users who use ad-blockers to either enable advertising or make a payment to view content without ads. That's all well and good, but what does it mean in real English?
Ad blockers are a very commonly used piece of software that prevent those annoying advertisements and pop up windows appearing when you're trying to view content online. Pop up ads were particularly popular in the 90's, and ad blockers were created to combat the wave of frustrated users who just wanted to view their online content. People block advertisements for a variety of reasons, and you are not asked what these are when you download the software. But for example, some people find that advertisements interrupt their content viewing, find them irritating or even stressful at times. This style of marketing is called 'interrupt marketing', which is intrusive by design and comes between the user and their content deliberately to try and sell their products or services. It's no surprise then that so many people use ad blockers to make their web viewing experience as painless as possible. In fact, many anti-virus and internet protection software programmes come with ad blockers built in, so the user might not even know that they are there.
Funding Choices presents a controversial move by Google, and one that may prove unpopular with users, but very popular with those engaging in interrupt marketing. Many have commented that ad blockers take a big toll on publishers and producers who rely on advertising revenue, and that these new changes will ensure that all content producers, big or small, will now have a sustainable way to fund their work with online advertising. In the same breath, Google has also announced that it is working on an ad blocker of its own, which will block specific ads that don't meet their high standards. This is part of their campaign in conjunction with the Coalition for Better Ads, whose aim is to improve user experience and business profits by only allowing high quality adverts to be displayed online.
But for regular users and content consumers Iike us, this creates a dilemma. Either we have to put up with irritating adverts popping up all over put screens as we browse online, or we will be forced to pay a fee to make them go away. The fee has not yet been announced by Google, but with 22% of web users (that's more than 100 million people) employing ad blockers, the money generated from this could skyrocket very quickly. But on the plus side, a large number of the 'junk' adverts should disappear from your screens very soon. For more information, and to keep up with new developments in the world of business tech, why not sign up to our newsletter today?

" Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." Revelation 4:11
The word pleasure is synonymous with the word joy. Pleasure brings joy. We were created to bring pleasure and joy to the Lord every day of our lives. How do we do that you may ask? The answer is simply this: When we observe to do all that is written in The Book.
The knowledge that we are bringing pleasure and joy to the Lord, causes us to experience pleasure and joy ourselves. Knowing that God is pleased with us and our relationship with Him, is supposed to bring a smile to our faces and overall joy to our lives. There is nothing more potent to lift a person's spirit than joy.
Joy is also contagious. When there is one joyful person in the room, everyone there experiences joy also.
One of the characteristics of the Kingdom of God is joy. Our God is full of joy, and so, as His children we too must be full of joy.
Doing exactly what the Word commands brings that joy. Others may not understand it, but we do. In God's presence there is fullness of joy. As we maintain a continuous, intimate relationship with God, we too will continuously experience His joy.
Today, purpose in your heart to bring pleasure and joy to the Father by walking in obedience to His word. As you do so you will experience a joy that is unspeakable and full, so full of glory.
Child of God, God's joy is available to you right now. Tap into it. Soak in it. Refuse to let the cares of the world rob you of God's joy. God's got everything under control. Let go and let God have His way.
As you do that you will begin to feel the effects of God's joy and you will sing again.
Let God's joy be your strength and your joy today.
