I'd been planning this for weeks, including submitting to voy-zone. She is the most incredible, open, sexy woman I've ever met. And although she is very trusting of me, all of this was a stretch for her. Throughout the evening she had to open envelopes marked red (hard) or green (easier) and could not back out of what was inside. She chose all RED!! She's incredible! The night included me stripping her naked and giving her head to orgasm on our very public 4th floor deck, teasing/torturing her with a feather, ice cube, tines of a fork, vibrators and more. And, of course, feeding her some of my cock now and then.
This was the first shoot of springbreak 2003. Actually I hit Keywest first, because theres this one bar that has awesome wet t shirt contests. So I called them up and asked them if I could bring my camera and video camera down there. They told me no, but If I brought them $1500 for the week it would be cool. Thats a lot of money but I figured I need to update Naked Spring Break Wild Flasher World for my PA members so why not and it would be fun to be in Keywest for the week. Anyways when I get there I ask to see the general manager as he told me, but then he tells me "things have changed". It turns out that a local company who does real porn sites now has an exclusive. So basically I travelled 3000 miles to shoot wet t shirt contest pics for nothing. But not for nothing, is my attitude on springbreak and the very next day I drove up to Daytona Plage and got these pics. I was right in front of the crowd. Overall it turned out pretty good I got over 2000 pictures, not counting what I got from South Padre and Mexico.From this day I shot 468 shots though That are updated on my site. Expect to see more contributions that actually get real wild.

The Purpose Driven Life Story
The Purpose Driven Church
The Purpose Driven Life is the title of a book authored by Dr. Rick Warren, the pastor of Saddleback Church in California. It has been on top of every major bestseller list since its debut in 2002 and has become the bestselling hardback nonfiction book in history selling over 20 million copies in just less than two years. The book challenges readers to take a spiritual journey called the 40 Days of Purpose to answer the question "What on earth am I here for?" The six-week spiritual journey teaches that life on earth is preparation for eternity and that meaning in life comes from doing the five things God created us to do: worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and missions.
Millions of people have participated in 40 Days of Purpose reading groups including corporations, schools, dozens of professional sports teams, the United States Senate, prisons, and over 20,000 churches, representing 80 different denominations. The 40 Days of Purpose campaign has spawned the Purpose Driven movement which has become a world wide phenomenon featured in over 300 newspapers, magazines, radio shows, and TV shows including USA Today, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fox News, ABC, NBC, FORBES, and TIME magazine.

What are special triangles? How do they apply to the unit circle?
Trig functions take an angle as an "argument" and are equal to the ratio of one side of the triangle to another side of the triangle, this ratio is dependent on the function being used. The unit circle is a circle with radius one. When talking about the unit circle, cosine represents x and sine represents y, and we know that the radius is one. Special triangles that have a hypotenuse of one, meaning they fit on the unit circle (radius = 1). If we use the Pythagorean Theorem or the ratio of the sides, i.e., trig functions, we can find the sides of these triangles. This ratio of x, y, and the hypotenuse gives the value of the trig functions with the interior angle of a special triangle.
What does it mean to measure the area under a curve?
The area under the curve is defined as an integral in calculus. Given a curve, f(x), we can start to look at the area but breaking the domain into small parts and summing the area of the blocks created by breaking up the domain (I would draw a picture and start by using bigger blocks where there is clearly an error in the estimation). As you can see in the picture, there is area under-accounted and over-accounted, so when we add up the area of the blocks our estimation will be inaccurate. What if we drew smaller blocks? I would then draw blocks approx. half the size of the original. From the picture we can tell that the estimation will be closer. I would then repeat this process again showing that as we make the blocks smaller and smaller the estimation will get closer and closer to the actual value of the area under the curve. What if we made these blocks smaller and smaller? Our estimation would be getting closer to the area under the curve (this should be visible in the picture because more area under the curve would be accounted for and there would be less over-estimation). This is the definition of an integral, the sum of infinitely small sections that give us a precise estimation of the area of under the curve. The sum of these blocks are called Reimann Sums. The pictures I would draw would be similar to the picture found at this link: created.https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/Riemann_sum_convergence.png/1200px-Riemann_sum_convergence.png
At 9am car A began a journey from a point traveling at 40 mpg. At 10am another car, car B, started traveling from the same point as car A traveling in the same direction at 60 mph. At what time will car B pass car A?
First, I would have the student go through the problem and pull out all relevant information, assign variables where needed, and determine what the equation is asking. I would assign ra =40 mph, rb =60 mph as given. Next, we would assign the time that car A left (ta) to be t and I would explain that since car B is leaving one hour later, we have to assign tb = (t-1) since it is the time relative to car A. I would then start explaining the problem they are being asked by drawing a position-time graph displaying both cars and their point of intersection. I would emphasize that the slope of car B is steeper than car A since it is covering more distance in a shorter amount of time. As shown in the picture, we can then see that we are looking for the time that the cars have travelled the same distance. I would then introduce the equation distance = rate x time and explain to the student using the picture that the cars have traveled the same distance on the point of intersection on the graph. I would then relate the graph to the equation, since we are looking for the distance that car A and car B are the same we can set these values equal to each other, thus giving us the equation rata=rbtb. We can then plug in the values and solve for the time. We then must answer the question being asked. The time (t) found in the equation is the time it takes for the cars to travel the same distance, we must plug this value back in to find the how long it takes for the cars to meet.

The origin of Jordan Brand can be traced back to one very particular NBA athlete, who was the star player of the Chicago Bulls back in 1985. The brand was ultimately named after him. He was eventually dubbed the G.O.A.T. He is none other than Michael Jordan. Since most of the illustrious moments of his career took place while he was a member of the Chicago Bulls, the team has been one of the foremost sources of inspiration for iconic Air Jordan colorways. Two such colorways were the Air Jordan 1 "Bred" and "Chicago," which Jordan Brand combined in a single, brand new iteration last year.
Back in August 2017, Jordan Brand unveiled a colorway of the Air Jordan 1 that was referred to as "Homage To Home." The sneaker featured the original Air Jordan 1 silhouette, but the colorway itself could be best described as a hybrid of two previous, classic colorways. While it was Nike Air Ship that Michael Jordan was banned from wearing by the NBA, the "Banned" color scheme became recognized as an Air Jordan 1 colorway, eventually also being referred to as "Bred." Later, the Air Jordan 1 "Chicago" was whipped up, a colorway that adhered to the NBA's "uniformity of uniform rule."
The nickname of the Air Jordan 1 "Homage to Home" likely signifies the fact that it is paying homage to the team that Michael Jordan used to call home. Each shoe features both colorways, splitting the sneaker in the middle. The lateral side resembles that of the Air Jordan 1 "Banned," dressed up in Black and Red, while the medial side resembles that of the Air Jordan 1 "Chicago," sporting the iconic combination of Black, Red and White. Additionally, the "Nike Air" branding can also be spotted on the tongues, adding an OG touch to this brand new colorway.
Until recently, there were no expectations or speculations that this colorway would end up joining this year's Air Jordan releases 2018 as it was presumed to be nothing more than a sample. According to the latest reports and rumors though, it seems that the Air Jordan 1 "Homage to Home" will end up hitting the shelves on April 21st, 2018 and will retail at a price of $190.

Described as a "Social Media Hellraiser" by The New York Times, Jon Morter is best known for his gatecrashing of the music industry in 2009 with his phenomenal 'Rage Against The X Factor' campaign, sweeping Rap/Metal band Rage Against The Machine into the sought after UK Christmas No.1 spot. His carefully executed plan not only outsold the previously unbeatable X Factor single, but broke a Guinness chart record in the process as well as raising over £150,000 for charity. This success opened the door for Jon to work on campaigns for some big artists in the industry including Nirvana, Sex Pistols, Rod Stewart, a No.1 album for The Rolling Stones, plus the 2012 Christmas No.1 campaign for The Justice Collective.
Jon has won awards for his social media and charity work including the Metal Hammer Golden God award (the one he's most proud of), and nominated for many others including the National Marketer of the Year award (losing to the Compare The Meerkat campaign).
Aside from music-related projects, Jon was also a key member of the Save 6Music campaign, plus has worked with many large brands such as IKEA, Confused.com, and Hyundai.
Not only is Jon also infamous for creating the 'Condescending Corporate Brand', a cheeky swipe at large companies trying to 'do' social media, but did you know he 'designed' the 25th anniversary sandwich for Pret a Manger? …their 'Bacon' sandwich!

Are the Isrealis really to be blamed?
Or the Hamas?
Isreali women and children, wounded and/or killed.
Palestinian women and children, killed and/or wounded.
What are we doing? Eating our chips, eating our nuts, sleeping, laughing with family members, safe in the arms of the ones we love, not in constant fear of husbands, wives, children, brothers, sisters, cousins, mothers, fathers, being killed off one by one.
True, we can't do much. We can pray. Pray that our Muslim brothers and sisters remember Allah. For He is the ONLY ONE who has the power to change things around. It is this time, it is this hour that our brothers and sisters NEED to seek Allah's help.
Frightening images on CNN have caused me to stop watching TV. There goes my new years resolution.

I agree with you. There's so much turmoil in it that I can't help but think of myself as fortunate despite the fact that I'm not exactly enjoying life jobless and aimless. It would be good if someone just posted me over there. I think I'll be happier, at least I can do something instead of slacking.ReplyDelete

the palestinians have said that there is nothing you can do if you DO post yourself over there. THe best thing they would want you to do, is to learn about their history and know more about the situation there. Understand how it happened and things will become clearer.ReplyDelete

This is from CBS 11 Dallas,Ft.Worth.
This is about as stupid as you can get.
It is a shame this punk did not get The Darwin Award.
I am betting he is an Obama supporter.
WILMER (CBSDFW.COM) – If you had to pick a place to rob — a police station would probably be at the bottom of the list. That would be you. But one would-be North Texas robber apparently thought PD was a good place to 'knock off.'
Police say Keithan Manuel walked into the Wilmer Police Department Saturday evening. The 18-year-old had a white towel covering his hands.
Police Chief Victor Kemp described the incident saying, "Yeah well, a young man walked into the lobby and approached the dispatch window there and told our Communications Officer 'give me all your money.'"
After pointing a towel-covered hand at the officer and making the statement, Manuel soon changed his tune and claimed he was there to get some information.
"He said he'd like to check on a warrant, but it was pretty obvious it was a situation…he gave a different name and after a few moments of maybe playing it off he said 'you do know I have a gun'. At that point he seemed to be very serious," Chief Kemp said.
It was then the officer decided she didn't feel like 'joking'.
"She called for officers immediately and called for backup from another agency," Kemp recalled. "The officers arrived and were able to take him down at gunpoint."
Manuel didn't have a weapon.
Manuel remains is in the Dallas County Jail with a $200,000 bond for several charges, including Robbery.
Of the entire incident Chief Kemp said, "This young man wasn't using his head for sure." "You hear of those World's Dumbest Criminals every once in a while but you never think it's gonna happen in your city."

Helping you care for your best friend!
Prior to becoming a veterinarian Dr. Coleman completed his Bachelor's degrees in Biology and then due to an interest in math went to graduate school in engineering completing both his MS and his PhD in chemical (electrochemical) engineering. After graduate school, he worked as a software development consultant teaching software development to businesses around the country (with some short stints teaching in a couple of other countries as well). While software development, engineering, and teaching were enjoyable and are still interests of Dr. Coleman, becoming a veterinarian was always in the back of his mind. So in 2002 Dr. Coleman went back to school to become veterinarian.
Dr. Coleman obtained his DVM degree in 2006 from Texas A&M University. After graduating veterinary school, he completed a 1 year rotating internship at a specialty and emergency hospital in Sacramento. After completing this internship, he practiced in Northern California and Texas before moving back to California and our San Bernardino Mountains in 2012. His interests include both general practice and emergency medicine.
In his off time Dr. Coleman enjoys spending time with his wife and son and 4 dogs, and hiking and enjoying all the outdoors here have to offer.
Dr. Rains was born and raised in Southern California. He attended Claremont High School and served as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division. Following his discharge, he attended Oklahoma State University, earning his doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 1975.
After graduation, he returned to So. California, joining a small animal practice in Chino for two years and then also worked for a year at an emergency clinic in Montclair. In 1979 he purchased Arrowhead Veterinary Hospital and moved with his family to the mountains. Dr. Rains is proud to say he has spent half his life on the mountains. His sons are graduates of Rim High School.
An active participant in the community, Dr. Rains has been a member of the local Rotary Club for 33 years, serving as president in 2008. In 2010 he and his wife, Jo Bonita, were honored as Lake Arrowhead's citizens of the Year.
Indeed, their Arrowhead Animal Hospital has digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house blood profiling, computerized record keeping and amenities not found in many veterinary practices. Their partnership provides the foundation for a veterinary hospital that combines modern technology with old-fashioned care and compassion.
Drs. Coleman, Rains and Mayne are proud of their facility and their ability to provide first class veterinary care to the community they love. They feel fortunate for the opportunity to work together with a talented and caring staff in one of California's most beautiful landscapes.
Dr. Mayne's passion in caring for animals began early, when as a young child in rural upstate New York he watched veterinarians diagnose and treat livestock, dogs, and cats in the surrounding barnyards and pastures.
After high school, he attended Cornell College of Agriculture. He was awarded a full scholarship in his junior year to attend the Universidad de Buenos Aires in Argentina, beginning an interest in Spanish and international events. After receiving his undergraduate degree, he remained at Cornell, graduating from the College of Veterinary Medicine where he particularly enjoyed studying small animal surgery. Even now he devotes a large part of his practice to surgical cases.
Following graduation, Dr. Mayne practiced in several veterinary hospitals in the Boston community. He conceived and built the Vickory Hill Veterinary Hospital in Southboro, MA which won the Veterinary Economics Magazine National Hospital Design 'Merit of Honor Award'. He went on to study business at Boston University and, after receiving his MBA degree, he moved with his family to southern California.
For three years he owned and operated Alpine Animal Hospital in Rim Forest before joining practice with Dr. Rains.

Good morning!
Since last night was the LAST & FINAL night of the fair when all of the vendors pull down their stands& either head home or to the Nebraska state fair, my husband worked late into the night.
I was also working, but on a FUN project that popped into my head.
I knew I wanted to create another dress for lily,
BUT I hadn't put much thought into the specifics& felt it would be fun to wing it.
i do that a lot. lol
I found this plaid bandanna in my stash& cut it in half& sewing it into a tube for the skirt. Then I used this awesome awesome grey rib knit for the main body. I didn't want it to look exactly like the last bandanna dress I made her, so I set it aside & got to thinking about how I would finish the top to make it unique.
|::the green bandanna dress::
What I decided to do (after lying in bed for who knows how long planning my sewing strategy, am i the only one who does this??lol) ... i decided to add an off the shoulder strap.
I've never made this type of shoulder before, but after all that planning..
you know, when i was suppose to be falling asleep...
I felt like it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out.
I measured lily around her shoulders& it was 26 inches. I didn't add any extra length since i was going to use another knit& it would be able to stretch.
THEN, I created a tube using a 6x26 inch piece of fabric. I folded it in half to make it 3x26 in. I ironed the hem& sandwiched the front& back of the dress body between it before sewing.
It really only took me 15 minutes this morning the finish the top&
thats saying a lot for being my first time!
** I'm really figuring out the the iron is my friend. It absolutely helps a project move along smoothly.
hope you all have a great day!

Though, in general I'm sort of optimistic about it despite the inauspicious beginnings. :-)
We had a fun party last night. It went until about 04:00 or so. We even got in a round or 2 of Cricket Cricket towards the end, and discovered that with just 5 people things don't drift nearly as much as you'd expect. :-) Or maybe you just draw better when you're badly in need of sleep. :-)
It was mostly all klicrai and Jeremy's friends. Though wolfieboy showed up early before everybody else, but also had to leave for work early, before everybody else. But I get along well with many of klicrai's friends and I generally really enjoyed all the people who came over.
We did have a guy show up who I wasn't so happy about as the party progressed. He works as a caretaker for the nearby church, and he let us all in to climb into the bell-tower of the church to see the various things happening in Seattle at midnight. He is also an ex-marine.
But, he also incessantly hit on all the women he perceived as single. And over time he drank an enormous quantity of alcohol, smoked 4 joints and ate half a bag of mushrooms. So, he became weirder and more obnoxious as the night wore on. We finally had to ask him to leave because he was making a lot of people uncomfortable.
But, seeing Seattle from the bell-tower was kind of fun, and I may have gotten some good pictures out of it.
Where did it start? Is there some canonical online explanation for this game that I can point to?
(The name comes from a game where the phrase was "liar, liar, pants on fire". Someone drew a lyre for "liar", and the next person thought it looked like a cricket…)

"If there is one thing which has been conclusively demonstrated in this inquiry, it is that provided you can persuade the masses to believe that something they are asked to do is religiously right or enjoined by religion, you can set them to any course of action, regardless of all considerations of discipline, loyalty, decency, morality or civic sense."
The inquiry was first demanded by Shaukat Hayat Khan, a veteran politician and colleague of Pakistan's founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Hayat had had a falling out with his former associate and Chief Minister of Punjab, Mian Mumtaz Daultana, when, in 1953, violent riots erupted in the Punjab against the Ahmadi community. The riots were largely perpetrated by a group of religious parties demanding the excommunication of the Ahmadis from the fold of mainstream Islam.
Martial Law was proclaimed in the province and the riots were ultimately crushed by the army. The commotion badly shook the centrist Muslim League government.
More than half a decade has gone by, yet the relevance of the 1954 report on anti-Ahmadi riots in Punjab is debatable
Hayat accused the Punjab CM, Mumtaz Daultana, of 'engineering' the turmoil in the Punjab to dethrone the then sitting prime minister, Khwaja Nazimuddin. He claimed that Daultana had given the rioters his 'tacit support.'
Two government ordinances were issued a few months later, ordering a full inquiry into the causes of the disturbances.
Over the decades, the Munir-Kayani Inquiry Report has often been quoted in the on-going debate between the country's 'modernist Muslims' and conservatives. The modernists specifically mention that section of the report which suggests that no two Muslim scholars agree upon even a single aspect of the faith. Each had their own interpretations which they believed were the correct ones.
This finding was penned by the judges after they had interviewed 117 Islamic scholars from all Muslim sects and sub-sects in the country. The conservatives, however, are critical of the report, claiming that it was biased against them and that both the judges had preconceived notions about the ulema and the clergy.
In his book, Religious Exclusion in Pakistan, professor of history and author, Ali Usman Qasmi, writes that more than being just an inquiry into the 1953 disturbances, the extensive report actually took the shape of becoming an elaborate mediation on the evolution of Muslim nationalism and 'modernist Islam' in South Asia.
The report remarked that Muslim nationalism (upon which Jinnah's Pakistan came into being) was a moderate and modern entity which was being challenged by those trying to raise a 'religious Leviathan' (totalitarian state) based on an intransigent and rigid understanding of the faith.
Twenty-five years later, Justice Munir, in his 1979 book, From Jinnah to Zia, wrote that his (and Kayani's) report had predicted a situation such as the one Pakistan faced when a general pulled off a military coup in July 1977 (Zia), and began to shape a more rigid and myopic regime and society.
Opponents of the report claim that, in 1953, the judges were influenced by the government to 'implicate the ulema' by already 'painting them in a bad light' before the inquiry.
By this the critics of the report mean an incident which Ali Usman also details in his book: Right after the military crushed the rioting, famous Islamic scholar, Khalifa Abdul Hakim, penned a pamphlet titled, Iqbal & Mullahism.
An authority on Islamic texts and also on the writings of South Asian poet-philosopher, Mohammad Iqbal (d. 1938), Khalifa used verses from some of Iqbal's poems and quoted Iqbal's scholarly opinions on the clergy to suggest that the views of the clergy and many of the ulema were contrary to the understanding of the faith of Pakistan's founders.
The government published 5,000 copies of the pamphlet and then another 4,500, including an Urdu translation of the text. It then distributed them free of cost across the Punjab.
Justice Munir was born into an affluent family in Hoshiarpur. After bagging a degree in Economics from college, he passed the bar exam and became a successful lawyer. In 1943, he became a judge of the Lahore High Court. He was well liked by Jinnah.
In 1954 he was elevated to the position of chief justice of Pakistan. Munir was a sophisticated, well-read and calm man. In 1958, he went on to back the military coup of Ayub Khan and partially influenced Ayub's public disposition as a 'moderate and modernist Muslim'.
Justice Kayani on the other hand, was born in a village near Kohat. After his initial schooling at a village school, he was sent to Lahore by his father to further his studies at a college. He did well there and got accepted into the civil service. He then won a scholarship to study at the prestigious Cambridge University in the UK. On his return, he joined law and became part of the judiciary.
Kayani was well-versed in English, Persian, Pashto, Punjabi and Urdu, and was a practicing Muslim. Ali Usman informs that though he was regular in his prayers and read the holy book every morning before going to court, he was vehemently against the mixing of religion with politics. In the 1960s, Kayani and Munir drifted apart when, unlike Munir, Kayani opposed the Ayub dictatorship.
Their report's relevance went beyond Pakistan. For example, in an era when Muslim nationalists in most Muslim-majority countries were aggressively trying to merge the concept of their respective nationalisms with modernity, the Munir-Kayani Report was requested by and ended up (to be studied) in Iran (during the Shah regime), Turkey and Egypt (during the Arab nationalist government of Gamal Abdel Nasser).
Many of its exponents today believe that in this day and age when Pakistan is embroiled in an 'existentialist battle' against extremism, the report is now even more relevant than ever. Its critics continue to disagree.

Award-winning photographer Rania Matar's new book A Girl and Her Room depicts in beautiful simplicity the lives and identities of teenage girls. Matar was inspired by her own teenage daughter and friends in the midst of the transformation from girl to woman. She discovered that in a group, the girls were self-conscious and highly aware of each other's presences. It was then when she set off to capture images of each girl alone and in her own personal space.
Most teenagers regard their bedrooms as their only true space and a tangible representation of their identities. In order to enter that space, Matar spent time with her subjects to ensure that they were comfortable with her and the project. It was only after that relationship and trust were built up did she begin the photography session. On her website, she describes each session as a "beautiful and intimate collaboration."
A prevalent theme of the project is the development of a girl when she's "on the cusp", or in between girl and woman. Bedrooms are sanctuaries that are molded by the passing of time and marked by changing interests. Stuffed animals lie next to computers, the new toy of choice while posters of Disney celebrities hang next to or under posters of bands and models – transition is taking place.
And it's taking place all over the world. The project was soon expanded to include girls from the Middle East – another world that Matar considers part of her. By including subjects from two different cultures, religions and backgrounds, Matar was not hoping to draw comparisons, but rather to emphasize the universality of issues that girls at that age face. True enough, the photos blur the boundaries between countries and cultures in an elegant and understated way.
Perhaps more striking than the images we do see is the story we can only infer from the unique details that touch each viewer in a different way. Matar's simple photographs are rich with life and possibilities, reminding us that everyone has a story and that so much can be said from the minutest details. The detail-heavy photos make flipping through the 128-page book enjoyable, and provide a different experience every time.
If there's anything us humans like more than knowing, it's not knowing and the gray area in between. When viewing the collection, our minds are allowed to wander and we draw parallels, we make up stories, and we connect with the photographs on an unprecedented level.

Alongside this, you will explore the psychological approaches to learning and also study an Early Childhood module (which includes the social construct of childhood and child development).
In Years 2 and 3 you will continue to broaden your knowledge of these key theoretical areas. You will also study the National Curriculum Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, alongside: special needs and inclusion, comparative education, equality issues and research methods.
In Year 3 you will also conduct an independent research project, gain practical experience on placement and select from a choice of modules to complement your learning, including: leadership and management in early years settings, the social and emotional aspects of teaching and learning, children's rights, education and the law and children's literature.
This module aims to extend your knowledge and understanding of factors contributing to infant health and well-being. You will examine theories of attachment and consider cross-cultural practices aimed at promoting attachment relationships and supporting early development. The module will enable you to evaluate the impact of early intervention strategies, policies and practices to provide support for parents/carers in meeting the health and well-being needs of babies and very young children.
A consideration of the historical, social and global context of the child within the family and community will lead to an evaluation of the influence of social policy on children and families. Critical discussion and debate will explore key issues regarding contextualised childhoods and the role of reflective early years professionals in promoting equality, and safeguarding children. Professional identity, accountability and impact will be reflected on and critiqued at a micro and macro level. An analysis of policy impact in educational and care settings will be evaluated to consider approaches and professional impact towards behaviour management and the safeguarding of children.
The study of a selection of learning theories to encourage understanding of learning processes of children and adults, including their application to yourself as a learner. This module includes an exploration of influences and impact of parents, schools and wider social influences on development, educational experiences and achievement.
This module allows you to observe young children, using different observational techniques, and recognise key milestones achieved in the developing child. Ethical considerations involved with observing young children are examined and key learning and child development theories applied and evaluated. A holistic approach to observing young children is taken
The driving force behind this module is the idea that knowledge and skills of social research are today of fundamental importance in virtually all professions, but especially within the fields of education and early childhood. Therefore, the module encourages and trains you to go beyond the simply learning research skills and to engage with research critically and reflectively in your daily life.
The module presents a variety of concepts of childhood and early years education across history and culture. By applying the most influential social theories of childhood developed in the 20th and 21st centuries, the module analyses the relationships between the social contexts and contemporary issues for EY practice, such as child's well-being and achievement. The module reviews the political and cultural background of policies that aim to address inequality, promote children's right and support educational achievement, engaging you in exploring the role of the child in a multicultural society.
This module is will be the study of curriculum models and the work of the early education pioneers, the planning and evaluating of the early years curriculum, and National Curriculum Key Stage 1.
This module examines education systems across a range of cultures and countries and compares them with the English system. Issues such as teacher training, gender, access to free education and the impact of globalisation will be considered. The value of comparing and classifying education systems in diverse settings will also be discussed.
This module is aimed at those who want to engage with issues of education in a deep, serious and theoretically rich way. It challenges some of the ways education is usually approached and asks how we can change education for the better. You will be actively involved in designing and proposing changes and new models. It provides a range of theoretical frameworks –among them postmodern theory, diaspora theory, and anthropological perspectives – which are extremely important for better understanding and engaging with education. Uniquely, the module offers a weekly book club and a monthly film club.
This module is aimed at exploring what play is, why we play and how play can foster learning, development and well-being. It includes investigations of the role of play in different pedagogic approaches.

This is a small piece of detailed research of an existing field within early childhood, relevant to research in an early childhood setting. Organise and manage a small scale research investigation with insight, demonstrating skillful use of research tools and responsibility and display critical judgement in relating these to the wider educational and social context. Present a research report following generic academic conventions. It can be general research or Practitioner Enquiry. Practitioner Enquiry is suitable for those who are in an appropriate placement where you hold a fairly stable role within the organisation as it includes a self-reflective report related to work roles and responsibilities.
This module provides an in-depth insight into the role of management and leadership in the context of Early Years. This entails the development of current initiatives, leadership and management theory, the legal framework and working with change. The role of key professionals within statutory, voluntary and independent services who are working with young children and their families is analysed. Also, the advantages and barriers to working in multidisciplinary teams are critically evaluated.

It examines the historical framework in which literature for children emerged and includes opportunities for theoretical analysis of individual authors' works as well as studies of different genres. In addition the important role of literature for engaging children in the written word and their role in the early classroom experience will be explored.
This module aims to encourage you to evaluate social and emotional aspects of teaching and learning in educational contexts. It considers the many social and emotional influences on the child and how these affect their learning and educational experience. You are asked to reflect on, and evaluate your own emotions and interpersonal skills, with a view to using this to help you to explore the social and emotional aspects of teaching and learning. A range of theories and skills used by those working with children in education, such as teachers and counsellors, are studied.
The module uses Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems model as a vehicle through which to explore a range of issues from a local, social, cultural and global perspective. These will include a number of the following; socio-cultural constructions of parenting and childhood, the ways in which geography, community and neighbourhoods influence developmental outcomes, cultural variances in family types and child rearing practices and the impact of these on children's outcomes, an exploration of the issues surrounding day-care and the effect of day-care practices on the child, cultural influences on play, migration and childhood, theories of moral development. The module takes an international focus on the wide ranging factors influencing childhood health and well-being looking at child development research beyond the home and family.

Early Childhood Studies BA graduate
I always knew I wanted to work with children. I've found that this course has provided me with a good background to ideas and practices that are taken from various disciplines such as psychology, history, law and management. The course also enabled me to take part in a nursery-based placement and I enjoyed every minute of it!
I am eager to pursue a career as a primary school teacher. I've applied to do the PGCE (Primary Education) with Middlesex and have received a conditional offer. All the tutors are extremely supportive and have been helping me to pass the Skills test which is a requirement for the PGCE. The Early Childhood Studies course has made my desire to become a teacher even stronger and I've already been recommending Middlesex University to other people.

Diabetes type 1 belongs to the group of autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body makes a mistake and identifies its own cells as an attacking organism. When it comes to type 1 diabetes, the beta cells found in the pancreas that make insulin are actually the target.
They are eliminated by certain antibodies by the immune system. For long time scientists have been investigating what might cause the immune system to do that. However, till today there are only theories without concrete proof.
No one knows the exact cause of diabetes type 1. However, scientists think it might be a combination of environmental and genetic factors.
According to one theory, with the proper genetic background, the viral infection might activate the immune system to make a mistake and target the cells which produce insulin as they were foreign invaders.
This theory notes that there is a possibility to produce a vaccine for type 1 diabetes, in case the virus is identified.
Previous studies have connected a class of viruses by the name enteroviruses with type 1 diabetes and its development.
In this particular study, the scientists hoped to recognize certain enteroviruses with diabetes.
This study included around 183 kids with high risk for obtaining type 1 diabetes or with type 1 diabetes. This was shown by blood tests which check for autoantibodies.
According to these molecules, the immune system is targeting the cells which produce insulin. Also, this study included around 366 kids at low risk for obtaining type 1 diabetes or without autoantibodies.
In fact, the researchers enrolled kids when they were first born. They chose kids with genes which increase the risk for diabetes type 1. After that, the researchers collected blood samples from all these kids, including the group of kids without diabetes genes.
They done that when the kids were at ages of 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months old, and also they did that one year later.
With these blood samples, the scientists tested the blood for diabetes autoantibodies and for proteins related to the virus which they used to distinguish and recognize between infections from around 44 strains of enterovirus.
In the end, the researchers came to the discovery that a virus by the name coxsackievirus B1 links to to increased risk of obtaining type 1 diabetes. While 2 other coxsackievirus B6 and coxsackievirus B3 links to lower risk of obtaining type 1 diabetes.
However, there are limitations of this study, and that is that the participants were only from Finland. Also that it was looked at the limited period of 10 years.
According to this study development of a vaccine for the coxsackievirus B1 might prevent certain cases of type 1 diabetes.

Prototyping = Failure
Prototyping can be defined as building, testing and reworking a concept or idea until an acceptable or desireable form of a product is finally achieved. This process is simply failure, over and over again.
Sir James Dyson was knighted in 2006 for his 'inventive mindset'. In the process of inventing the cyclonic cleaner, he made 5127 prototypes in his backyard shed before he came up with one that worked. This product, known globally as 'The Dyson' disrupted and revolutionised the vacuum cleaning industry. What if James Dyson had considered himself a failure and stopped at prototype #5126?
"Failure is interesting - it's part of making progress. You never learn from success, but you do learn from failure." Dyson, November 2012
We need to be very careful when applying the word 'fail' in any context. If failure is part of making progress, we need people capable of applying what is learnt in meaningful ways, rather than just reproducing and regurgitating knowledge.
One of the best definitions of success I have heard comes from motivational speaker Bob Proctor, "Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal" and in that progressive realisation are a multitude of failures. Failures are mearly steps along the way.
So next time you catch yourself out thining that you are a failure or that you have failed at what you have done, rember you are one step closer to success, a success that would otherwise never have been possible.
When Sir James Dyson looks for the right people to work in his entrepreneurial company he says, "It's a matter of having the right attitude -- humble, curious, determined, willing to fail and try." Sounds like the designers that use our CAD software on a daily basis.

Truly, business is a high-stakes game (Brandenburger & Nalebuff 1995, p. 57): the wrong strategic move could mean millions of dollars lost, or thousands of jobs jeopardized, or even the bankruptcy of a firm. Strategy setting, to be successful, must consider the organization as a whole and not as an entity made of distinct and independent business units, and must include everyone in the organizational. Strategy is a detailed plan for a business in achieving success. It is the bundle of decisions and activities an organization chooses to achieve its long-term goals; in other words, it is the path it chooses.How does a company make or formulate strategies? Simply, every organization needs to figure out what it wants to achieve, and then how it is going to make it happen, with its products, customers, and operations. The thing is who will figure out what an organization wants to achieve. Traditionally, strategy is an area delegated solely to the CEOs, and much depends on the analysis of data, detailed planning, and to-down command. This structure of strategy formulation is in-lined with Michael Porter's management principles. But the world where Porter formulated his management principles is much more different from the world today, so naturally the way companies formulate strategies would also change.In this paper, I discuss what strategic management is, its potential benefits and limitations, its different elements, and strategic management in practice. Through this I aim to contribute to the existing literature on strategic management and facilitate its understanding.
[...] The then HP Vice President, Executive Leadership and Corporate Functions HR, Jackie Kane, described the strategic management processes used to align around the strategy and realize the full potential of the combined portfolios in a meeting with the Northern California Chapter of Association for Strategic Planning (ASP) (Davidson 2004). Kane emphasized that the key to the strategic management process for the integration of the two companies is culture, and outlined a five-step post-merger management process: cultural diagnostic phase, designed to identify the values of the two companies; a structuring phase where the various business entities within the two companies were combined; a ?push down? phase where the new structure and values were communicated to all employees; a resource allocation and implementation phase; and making certain that the organization had the right leadership capabilities to make all of this transition pays (Davidson 2004). [...]
[...] Strategic management presents a way wherein a business organization can best keep abreast with the changes in its operating environment. Through it, companies can assess the changes in heir environment well before others could, and hence, could alter it processes accordingly, and gain a first- mover advantage.

External analysis is where the external business environment of an organization is analyzed in terms of the threats and opportunities it presents to the said organization. These form part of the Opportunities and Threats in the S.W.O.T. analysis. Environmental scanning is important because the factors making up a business' environment presents pressures that the organization needs to respond to, otherwise it risks becoming obsolete. [...]

A Charity You Should Get Involved With: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
Day 3 and we're going strong!
Today's charity to get involved with is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (better known as the NAACP).
About the NAACP
According to its website, "the mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination."
But, even more than that, the NAACP strives to:
- Ensure equality of all citizens, regardless of race
- Eliminate race prejudice
- Help enforce laws that secure civil rights
- Educate citizens of their constitutional rights and encourage them to take action
That's something I can get behind 100%, and I think this is going to be one of the largest issues we need to pay attention to in the next four years. We are all immigrants in this country -- black, white, Muslim, this is our home. And we need to do our best to make sure it's a fair place for everyone to exist together, as equals.
How to Get Involved with the NAACP
You can become a member, find your local unit and donate to the NAACP.

LOCAL NEWS | May 23, 2016
A New York man died Friday evening after his bicycle crashed into a school bus. The accident happened during Dirt Fest. Police said 54-year-old Marc McEntee, of Croton on Hudson, New York, tried to negotiate a sharp curve at the same time as the school bus, which was driving in the opposite direction. McEntee laid his bike into the path of the bus. CPR was performed at the scene but the bicyclist later died at J.C. Blair Hospital. The driver of the bus, Robin Rupert, of Tyrone, was not injured.
State Police are looking for a rather distinctive dirt bike that was stolen from a garage in Snyder County. The motorcycle is white with orange fenders, the racing number 948 and a front placard that reads "Mid State Pest Control". It was stolen from a property in Perry Township late last week.
A Penn State student died from electrocution after falling from the roof of her three-story apartment building Friday in State College. Police said 21-year-old Shannon Mathers of Warrington, PA, was sitting on the roof of the building near West College Avenue. She was pronounced dead at Mount Nittany Medical Center. Police call the case an accident.
A Milroy woman is charged with involuntary manslaughter after an accident that resulted in the deaths of two people. Granville Township Police say 66-year-old Virginia Jones was driving a van on Route 22/522 last May when the van hit a tractor trailer. Two occupants in the van died.

With the start of 2018, we entered our 10th year of operations at Pierce Events. It's a bit hard to believe it's been that long, but I spent 15 years doing events for others before we launched and that seems like a lifetime ago.
Instead of recapping the journey, I thought I'd write this post to those of you who have in the back of your mind the idea of maybe starting your own business.
First know it's terrifying. You will spend countless unpaid hours working your tail off. You will face uncertainty that never goes away. 20 percent of new businesses don't make it a year. Half only make it five years. Only one third will be around 10 years.
You will meet great people who will encourage you and you will meet some awful people who want to see you fail. Everyone has advice, many will treat you unfairly, and you will discover who you really are, not who your boss wants you to be.
Economic factors won't make or break you if you learn how to adjust to them. If you don't, they will destroy you. Listen to everything and everyone and only believe about 10 percent of it.
The people who are against you will be your biggest motivators. If someone gets under your skin, understand that is fuel to prove them wrong. If someone can crush your spirit with words, you have no chance of making it.
It's not a path for everyone. If you can't deal with sales, customer service, marketing, management, accounting, and development as all part of your daily job, it's not for you. If you want a 9-5 paycheck every 2 weeks, this is not for you.
Honestly for years I was too sacred to do this. It was too much of a risk. Everyday is a risk, but it has allowed me to go places, do things and meet wonderful people around the world.
We owe our success to thousands of people. From everyone who trusted us enough to hire us to plan important events to the people who attend those events. We are forever grateful to our clients and partners.
Deciding to set off on your own takes soul-searching, planning, research and I suggest a lot of prayer. Failure is a great teacher and honesty is highly valued these days.
Whatever role you played in our success, even if it's just reading this blog, thank you for 10 years of wonderful events.

Norwalk man charged with burglary, larceny for thefts in Darien
DARIEN — A 35-year-old Norwalk man was charged in connection to a series of car thefts, car burglaries and a home break-in in Darien.
In late August on Noroton Avenue, someone broke into cars and a home while the residents were sleeping.
On Aug. 30, Greenwich Police contacted officers in Darien after arresting a suspect in a car stolen from a Rocaton Road home two weeks earlier. While searching the stolen car, Darien Police found clothes stolen from an unlocked car on Noroton Avenue on Aug. 26, as well as personal checks stolen from an unlocked car on Tanglewood Road. They also located two laptops taken from the Noroton Avenue home.
On Sept. 28, police issued a warrant for Kurt Vanzuuk, of Linden Street, Norwalk. Vanzuuk was in the custody of the Connecticut Department of Corrections, so arrangements were made for him to be brought to Stamford Superior Court on Nov. 20.
Vanzuuk was charged in court with one count of second-degree burglary, two counts of third-degree burglary, one count of third-degree larceny, one count of fifth-degree larceny and one count of sixth-degree larceny. He was issued a $40,000 bond and will appear in court again later this month. He is still in the custody of the state.

The main problem with picking up very familiar tropes and running with them is that everyone knows what to expect. Therefore, unless you get it very, very right any faults you have in your structure will be glaring. It is ironic – and slightly counter-intuitive – that the safer option is to actually brave the waves and run with an original idea. You cannot be blamed of not doing something right if you are the completely original author of that something. This may well have been the trouble with Little Accidents. As director Sara Colangelos' first feature, perhaps shyness was part of the mix. It tries to be a film characterised by shades of grey and deep pathos that describes the complexities of living in a small town, but has neither a completely original take nor a completely flawless execution, and so it ends up drifting in a kind of no man's land.
Little Accidents is the story of a small mining town. The community is closely knit, none of the relationships are as simple as they look and all the inhabitants' lives are very much intertwined. This is why a mining accident where 10 men lose their lives has further reaching affects than anyone could have expected. As the authorities begin the inevitable enquiries as to what happened and why, the executives running the mine, the families of the lost miners and Amos Jenkins, (Boyd Holbrook) lone survivor of the accident, all get entangled in an increasingly dark web of intrigue.
Technically, the cinematography does its part admirably; dominated by shades of grey, it sustains a moody and brooding atmosphere throughout. The tone is in keeping with the tragedy that has taken place in the town and forms a good backdrop to the turmoil Amos is going through. Namely, he is caught between two sides, the townsfolk and miners families that are his friends and neighbours and the executives who ran the mine. The idea is that the three sides are drawn progressively closer and closer, until the climax of the film, which hinges largely on Amos' witness statement as the key piece of evidence in the investigation pertaining to the accident.
In depicting this conflict, the film does a very good job of outlining the relationship Amos has with his own community in the shape of his father and Owen (Jacob Lofland) the son of one of the dead miners. However, it falls flat when it tries to portray the counterbalancing relationship. This is done through a love affair that begins between Amos and the wife of one of the executives working in the mine (Elizabeth Banks). This relationship begins hurriedly and lacks believability throughout. In fact it gives the impression it was written because someone thought the story needed a love interest at all costs. It is principally this missing wing that prevents it from taking off and truly soaring.
One is left with the sensation that the story is a few re-writes away from something truly interesting. This is a real shame because while it had the potential to be a strong film, Little Accidents will doubtless sink into the annals of film history without making much of a splash.
Little Accidents is out on DVD and VOD from the 28th of September 2015

Thoughts on Green Bay - Collins Kids most memorable to me because I'd not seen them before, and they were a delight. Barbara Lynn NEVER disappoints, she is just the best, should have had a longer set. Ray Sharpe was pretty cool the first time or two I saw him, but is now becoming kinda tiresome. (Just another loud guitarist) Big Sandy - what a GREAT MC. He took it so seriously, he wore a tux, he did his cool little dance. The Cadillacs sang "The Girl I Love" - I had almost forgotten about that one, how much I loved it. It was the song of the festival for me. Wanda Jackson, what a gracious lady. Hated to miss Ferlin, Jack Scott and Narvel, but that was before I got there.
So great to see Sleepy, George and Ed and Bill Clark (what a great time we had with them!!), Rosie, Deke, Frankie and Roy Head.
Thanks to Marc and Action Packed Events for their hard work to make this great event come together.

The destructive power of clichés
Many clichés are quite funny, but there are occasions when they are no joke. From "Girls can't do maths" to "Real boys don't cry" and "Women have no place on the board of directors" or "Men don't have the faintest idea about bringing up children", gender clichés can develop a truly destructive power that robs us of our creativity and inventiveness and prevents people from leaving their personality free rein.
On the other hand, the systematic ordering of the world into clichés and stereotypes is a completely normal process of the human brain that enables us to sort out situations and people in an increasingly complex world. They offer us a degree of security in unfamiliar situations. Problems arise when role models and clichés become very set, instead of remaining flexible and permitting real experiences to expand or replace them. This is what leads to intolerance and limitations. And yet we do need role models in order to find our way through life. If we're absolutely honest with ourselves, there is a grain of truth at the source of many of these clichés.
Exaggerated – but not always false
Even though they can by no means find general application, one cannot deny that there is a kernel of truth in many gender clichés. Take for example the communication behaviour of men and women. Clichés have long maintained that women talk more while men tend to be more taciturn. In fact, modern neurological research has found that there are marked differences in the genders' respective language centres, which would explain the profoundly disparate communication behaviour. This means the frequently diverging language abilities of men and women do not indicate a deficit, but rather a different neurological orientation, which has proved beneficial to human development.
Other role models are induced by society. Take for example the claim that women are responsible for the home and the family while men should earn the money. This cliché has developed as a result of long-held traditional roles, but is not exactly fulfilling for either sex in modern times. Contrary to clichés that are the result of real predispositions, it is precisely these no longer appropriate role models that get in the way of personal development. That by no means signifies that girls can't be pink any longer, as some gender orientation does make sense.
Why gender codes make sense
Characteristics that make it possible to clearly assign a certain gender to people are called gender codes. We encounter them in advertising, product design, clothing and in many other areas of our everyday life. The simplest examples can be found in the Kindergarten. Girls are dressed in pink and play with dolls, while boys wear blue and play with cars. "This levelling is discriminatory," you may want to say, but in reality gender codes actually do make sense.
Living a life free of all gender codes in order to guard against the creation of role models would really be a very one-dimensional view of the situation. Personal development does in fact follow identification with certain roles. Our identity, who we are, how we experience ourselves and what we like are dependent on our sex. Making differences in gender visible through the use of certain colours therefore actually aids the finding our own identity, rather than undermining it.
Gender codes in design
It is therefore not surprising that the difference between the sexes is also present in the world of design. Which products are intended for men and which for women is usually noticeable at a glance, even if the function of the product is identical. The choice of colour and shape play a large role in this regard. Even minimal differences such as a slight indentation of the shape can give a product a feminine appearance, while clear lines and hard edges convey more masculine characteristics. In this way, product design cleverly predefines the respective target group. Suitable marketing supports this process. Marketing and gender-oriented advertising campaigns present the products in a context that is considered to be "typically" feminine or masculine. Clichés and role models are tried out until a simple classification becomes possible, replacing the individual with the typical, and that promotes quick purchasing decisions. This makes gender codes a not to be underestimated tool for design and marketing.
If you would like to find out more about this fascinating topic, there is a book called "You Tarzan, Me Jane – Gender Codes in Design" by Bettina Weller and Katharina Krämer which you can order from the Red Dot Shop. It addresses the subject of gender in the world of design and provides interesting and entertaining insight into product design for men and women.
Vive la différence – and enjoy diversity
Even if clichés and role models do not apply to everyone, it is worth keeping sight of some things: men and women are different – thank goodness! It is these differences that make their special connection so perfect. With the right amount of tolerance and understanding, the sexes can complement and complete each other wonderfully thanks to their differences. After all, it is often the small quirks and differences that provide the spice in life. Yes, men can and should be allowed to be fans of tools and electronics. And yes, women should be allowed to love shoes. At least, as long as they don't have to. For however apt clichés may frequently be, the best thing about life is its diversity. Enjoy life in all its diversity.

City "forest" from Brazilian designers. Interior design ideas
Studio of Brazilian designer Fabio Galeazzo developed a life-affirming stylish city apartment interiors Urban Forest Interior. The decor is refined home environment interpretation of the forest, adapted to the comfort and advantages of modern life in the city.
This bright apartment is located in an emotional Sao Paulo (Brazil). Open plan studio room zoned not only conditional, but it can be divided into segments with sliding doors.
The collective and the delicate white-gray tone of the walls and major pieces of furniture is an excellent context for the minimalist works of modern art, green vegetation, images of nature and its expressive elements that perform very useful functions.
Current concrete aesthetics seeks to support the formation of "honest" natural environment. Concrete floors and load-bearing elements of the furniture in the kitchen and bathroom textiles continues to develop the simulation on the headboard in the bedroom, which became the dominant visual black and white, stylized image of a vintage car.
Built-in closet and a bathroom hidden behind the glass doors and the support given by the authors of the concept. Once in place of the bedroom for the first time, you can get lost, like in the woods, lost in reflection, glass and shades of gray, which transforms walls into air.
Natural wood finish with a well-read large fiber-filled apartment with warmth and comfort in their modern interpretation, close to people seeking to live and grow in step with the times.
It seems that one can consider the infinitely numerous details of this amazing interior design, understated beauty that is revealed gradually. The work of authors of the project can be found by on the official website of the architectural studio: http://www.fabiogaleazzo.com.br/
