$25 Million for Mother Tongue Language Learning and Promotion Committees to Create Even More Impact over the Next Five Years
As we celebrate Singapore's unique national heritage in this SG50 year, and recognise the important role of the three Mother Tongue Language Learning and Promotion Committees (MTLLPCs) in promoting bilingualism in our schools and our society, the Ministry of Education (MOE) will significantly strengthen support for the Committee to Promote Chinese Language Learning (CPCLL), the Malay Language Learning and Promotion Committee (MLLPC), and the Tamil Language Learning and Promotion Committee (TLLPC).
MOE will increase our funding commitment for the three committees over the next five years by about 50%, from $16.6 million (2011-2015) to $25 million (2016 - 2020). About 80% of government funds for each committee in this five-year tranche will be assured funding while the rest will be set aside as a 1:1 matching grant for funds raised by the community to support the three MTLLPCs' efforts. The matching grant serves to encourage continued support and goodwill from the community, while the assured funding will provide the three MTLLPCs with greater certainty to plan and scale effective flagship programmes into longer-term initiatives.
The Government's strong funding commitment will allow the three MTLLPCs to focus their efforts more on harnessing the expertise, resources and energy of the public and other community partners to further promote our three official Mother Tongue Languages (MTLs) as living languages in Singapore, so as to provide a rich and supportive language environment for our students to learn these languages within our local context.
The MTLLPCs were established between 2005 and 2006 to rally community support to create an environment in our society that is conducive to the learning and usage of our three official MTLs.
Over the past five years, the three MTLLPCs have initiated a wide range of programmes and activities that leverage the expertise and networks of various community stakeholders, to create a vibrant environment for promoting the use of MTLs in and beyond schools. Some examples of the flagship programmes are:
- CPCLL had tapped on a network of renowned local writers, representatives from community organisations and media personnel for programmes such as Speakers' Series and Author-in-Residence, to inspire students and broaden their perspective in the relevance and beauty of the Chinese Language.
- MLLPC had leveraged the expertise of academics in the National Institute of Education (NIE) to organise the Malay Finesse Camp for parents and students.
- TLLPC also collaborated with the Tamil Language Council, and other key Tamil institutions, to organise the annual Tamil Language Festival - a series of literary, oratorical and cultural programmes to motivate students to embrace the Tamil Language and use it in their daily lives.
Besides existing programmes, there are several new initiatives in the pipeline that seek to further widen the reach of programmes and activities initiated by the three MTLLPCs.
- CPCLL will work with local arts groups to bring literary and cultural activities to the heartlands to create a more supportive environment for the learning and appreciation of the Chinese Language.
- MLLPC will explore collaborations with performing arts groups to allow students to watch or even participate in cultural performances and plays, so as to immerse themselves in Malay culture.
- TLLPC will engage community partners to launch poetry, song writing and short-film making competitions, to encourage the use of the Tamil Language in a fun and creative way.
President's Award for Teachers 2015
Six outstanding teachers received the 2015 President's Award for Teachers (PAT) from President Tony Tan Keng Yam at the Istana during the Teachers' Day Reception on Thursday, 3 September 2015. They are :Primary School

- Mdm Safidah Bte Samsudin, Da Qiao Primary School;
- Mdm Halimah Bte Jumaha, Bedok South Secondary School;
- Mdm Tan Dai Hwee, Anderson Junior College; and
- Mr Muhamad Salahuddin B Ibrahim, Serangoon Junior College.
The PAT 2015 award winners are caring and nurturing teachers dedicated to the holistic development of their students. They are committed to developing their students to the fullest potential and adopt innovative approaches in their lessons. As role models, these teachers are life-long learners and mentors to their peers. More information on each recipient can be found in Annex A.
This year, a total of 7,820 nominations for 2,717 teachers were received from school leaders, teachers, parents, former students and students. The six recipients were selected from a list of finalists by a panel chaired by Mr Lim Biow Chuan, Chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Education, and comprising prominent community members and senior officials from the Ministry of Education. The nomination criteria and list of the 13 PAT 2015 finalists can be found in Annex B.
Introduced in 1998, the PAT is administered by the Academy of Singapore Teachers. The objective of PAT is to recognise excellent teachers for their critical role in educating the young people of our nation. These teachers inspire their students and peers through their words and deeds. Since its inception, 72 outstanding teachers, including this year's recipients, have been recognised.
National Examinations Will Proceed As Scheduled on Thursday, 1 October 2015
The National Environment Agency (NEA)'s 24-hour PSI forecast for Thursday, 1 October, is expected to be in the high end of the 'Unhealthy' range and low end of the 'Very Unhealthy' range, and may deteriorate to the mid-section of the 'Very Unhealthy' range if denser haze is blown in. Schools will remain open and national examinations will proceed as scheduled.
The safety and well-being of all examination candidates remain our top priority. Schools have made arrangements for all national examinations candidates to take their papers in enclosed spaces. Air purifiers will also be provided so that it is safe for the examinations to continue without disruption, even if haze conditions unexpectedly worsen during the period of the examinations.
Candidates with underlying medical conditions or who feel unwell should seek medical attention. Those who are medically certified unwell and are unable to sit for the examinations should inform their schools. Private candidates should inform the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board through the Ministry of Education's Customer Service Hotline at 6872 2220. Hotline operating hours are 8am to 6pm on Mondays to Fridays, and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.
Currently, there are already processes in place for candidates who are ill during the national examinations. The same set of processes will be activated for candidates who are unable to take the examinations due to haze-related illnesses. Candidates who feel unwell while taking the examinations should inform the examination invigilators immediately. Schools and examination centres are prepared and ready to handle such situations.
Candidates can be assured that they will not be penalised or disadvantaged if they are unable to take or complete the examinations due to haze or other medical conditions.
Increase in School Fees for Non-Citizens in Government and Government-Aided Schools from 2016
The Ministry of Education (MOE) will be revising the school fees for students who are Singapore permanent residents (PR) and international students (IS) in Government and Government-aided schools from January 2016 to further differentiate fees by citizenship. This revision is part of MOE's periodic review of school fees.
School fees will increase by between $20 to $60 per month for students who are PR and by between $20 to $150 per month for IS. School fees for students who are Singapore Citizens will remain unchanged. Please refer to the tables below for the current and revised school fees.Primary School Fees (Per Month) Nationality 2015 2016 Increase $ $ $ SC Free Free - PR 90 110 20 IS(ASEAN) 350 370 20 IS 500 550 50 Secondary School Fees (Per Month) Nationality 2015 2016 Increase $ $ $ SC 5 5 - PR 120 160 40 IS(ASEAN) 450 550 100 IS 650 800 150 Pre-University School Fees (Per Month) Nationality 2015 2016 Increase $ $ $ SC 6 6 - PR 160 220 60 IS(ASEAN) 700 800 100 IS 1,000 1,150 150
The standard miscellaneous fees will remain unchanged. Please refer to the current standard miscellaneous fees.Level $ Primary 6.50 Secondary 10.00 Pre-University 13.50
All Schools to Reopen on Monday, 28 September 2015
With National Environment Agency (NEA)'s 24-hour PSI forecast for tomorrow, Monday, 28 September 2015, to be in the 'Unhealthy range'1, all schools, MOE Kindergartens and VWO-run special education schools will reopen on 28 September 2015 (Monday).
The well-being of all students remains a key priority. Schools have in place a set of haze management plans and are ready to implement the appropriate haze management measures. Schools are also equipped with air purifiers and there are sufficient enclosed spaces to cater to their student population.
An overview of our schools' haze management plans at the "Unhealthy" range is provided below:Index Category Management Measures 101 - 200
- Schools will minimise outdoor activities.
- Students with pre-existing lung or heart conditions or are unwell will be exempted from all physical exercise.
Teachers are on the lookout for students who are unwell and ensure that they receive medical attention promptly. Schools also maintain a list of students with pre-existing heart or lung condition.
As children respond differently to haze, parents should ensure their children have the necessary medication, such as their inhaler and spacer, with them at all times. Children, who are feeling unwell, should receive medical attention promptly.Footnotes
- MOE will consider closing all primary and secondary schools to students when the health advisory for the next day indicates that the air quality will be at the 'Hazardous' range. For more details, please visit http://moe.gov.sg/haze/. ↩
More Resources to Inspire the Teaching and Learning Of Mother Tongue Languages in the Early Years
From today, early childhood educators will benefit from additional resources developed by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to support the teaching and learning of the three Mother Tongue Languages in Singapore. The Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Educators' Guides for Mother Tongue Languages (MTLs) in Chinese, Malay and Tamil were launched today by Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Law and Ministry of Education, Ms Indranee Rajah, at the Early Childhood Conference and Carnival on Friday, 25 September 2015.
As part of MOE's continuous efforts to support early childhood educators, MOE is developing the NEL Curriculum Toolkit, a comprehensive range of kindergarten curriculum resources to support early childhood educators in creating quality learning experiences for children. The NEL Framework was launched in 2012 and the NEL Educators' Guide and NEL Framework for MTLs in 2013. In 2014, the Chinese, Malay and Tamil versions for the NEL Framework for MTLs were shared with the pre-school sector. The NEL Educators' Guides for MTLs in Chinese, Malay and Tamil, launched today will serve as a significant resource for early childhood educators in the following ways:
The NEL Educators' Guides for MTLs, will provide practical lesson ideas and strategies that specifically cater to each of the Mother Tongue Languages. These lesson ideas and strategies are set in our local context and support educators in igniting children's love for MTLs and interest in their local ethnic culture by using local terms that children are familiar with in their daily experiences. An example of this in the Educators' Guide for Chinese Language is the use of the local term巴刹 to describe wet markets in Singapore.
Another feature of the NEL Educators' Guide for MTLs is the use of strategies to customise learning for children with varying language abilities. Singapore's evolving home language environment will be an important consideration in supporting our children in the learning of their MTLs. An example in the Educators' Guide for Malay Language is the inclusion of tips for teachers to consider when teaching children with relatively less exposure to the Malay Language.
The NEL Educators' Guides for MTLs introduce the concept of Professional Learning Communities, enable the seeding of professional peer support networks and emphasise the focus on teachers' professional development. A common set of professional terms for various teaching and learning practices is also provided in the Educators' Guide in the respective MTLs. An example of this can be seen in the Educators' Guide for Tamil Language where the professional term "brainstorm" is offered in Tamil Language and the process of brainstorming is explained.
To help educators put into practice the principles in the NEL Framework for MTLs, MOE has partnered the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) to organise training sessions. These sessions started in August 2015 and will run till December 2016. Parents and educators can also access the NEL Educators' Guide in each of the MTLs at http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/preschool/. Hard copies of the NEL Educators' Guide in all three MTLs will be distributed in phases to all pre-school centres.

The Best Picture Puzzle Has How Many Pieces?
With Into the Woods and Unbroken opening so well over Christmas, one has to think that their Best Picture chances have been bolstered. Both are currently in that foggy area of "will they or won't they?" a siamese twin to "how many Best Picture nominees will we get?" punditry.
If you look to the current Best Picture Chart, I think you'll agree that the eventual fates of anything beyond the top five (Selma, Birdman, Boyhood, The Theory of Everything, and The Imitation Game) seem uncertain. If you compare my chart to the current Gurus of Gold (in which we made suggestions as to what films voters should be screening this week) you'll see that the top ten films are basically the same albeit in a slightly different order and with the consensus being that I'm underestimating Foxcatcher and overestimating Into the Woods.
Obviously Grand Budapest Hotel will be enjoying multiple nominations but can it manage the biggies like Best Picture & Best Director & Best Actor? If we were still in ye olden times of only 5 nominees would it be our 'lone wolf' auteur triumph? I am undoubtedly the most bearish of any of the pundits about its fate but it's only because I have long lamented the fate of Wes Anderson pictures with AMPAS. One sounds like a complete nutter when one says it out loud but the following statement is in fact true "No Wes Anderson live action picture has ever been nominated for ANYTHING outside of Best Screenplay." No, not even Best Production Design which nearly all of them have deserved.
And what of the Fincher continuum? Will Gone Girl be another Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which justmissed a Best Picture nomination despite love across multiple Academy branches?
We're at war here.
It's been ages and ages since an NBR Best Picture winner didn't make the Oscar lineup but did the simmering A Most Violent Year open too late (i.e. two days after voting even begins) for a race that requires the full boil around New Years?
One of These Will Win Birdman, Boyhood, Selma
Sure Things The Imitation Game, Theory of Everything
Probably? Grand Budapest Hotel, Whiplash
But What About? Gone Girl, Unbroken, Into the Woods, Foxcatcher, A Most Violent Year
Longshots Interstellar, Nightcrawler, Mr Turner, American Sniper
Why Aren't They In the Conversation? Wild, Ida
So many questions. So many theoretical answers. Oscar ballots go out tomorrow so the next week is absolutely crucial. If we get 9 Best Picture nominations again I think it's safe to say that the Academy's executives just need to admit that their shifting number of Picture nominees experiment is a failure and round it back up to a Top Ten or return to the old five-wide standard.
How many nominees do you think we'll get?

Film Reviews
Django Unchained (R16) (165 min)
Directed by Quentin Tarantino. Starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L Jackson
Set in the years immediately before to the American Civil war, Django Unchained follows the fortunes of a freed slave, and the bounty hunter who gave him his life back. After a tense and nicely choreographed opening, our two heroes are soon earning a living knocking off any varmint, miscreant, or ne'er do well with a price on his head that justifies the expense of a bullet. Which means pretty much all of them. And since Christoph Waltz's German dentist-turned-killer is a dead eye with a concealed Derringer up his sleeve, and Jamie Foxx's Django is a natural who could shoot the nuts off a squirrel at a hundred paces, business is truly going gang busters.
But Django has a motive far nobler than just making money by killing bad white men. He wants to revenge himself on the thugs who tormented him when he was a slave. And then, Django will find and free his wife, the improbably named Broomhilda. To all this, the German agrees. If Django works with him over the winter, he will devise a plan to rescue Broomhilda come the spring.
Tarantino has been here before. His very best films since Reservoir Dogs have been the two Kill Bill instalments. And Kill Bill followed a very similar pulp classic plot: a great wrong has been done, but to wreak revenge, our hero is going to have to virtually die and be reborn. It's familiar territory to anyone who loves the golden age of the spaghetti western, or a vintage martial arts movie, or to anyone who's watched the B grade revenge flicks of the 60s and early 70s. And no one knows these films better than the obsessive ex-video store clerk Tarantino.
And so Django Unchained emerges as a fully formed hybrid of three or four of the most raucous, entertaining, and difficult genres of the lot. It is a blaxploitation western, set to the rhythms of some lost samurai epic. It is also – if this even needs saying – a thunderous return to form for Tarantino.
Django Unchained is a hell of a film. It is as funny, outlandish, inventive, and occasionally shocking as only Tarantino at his very best can be. But it is also a film that knows it must carry a parcel of authentic moral rectitude if it is ever going to be worth celebrating, and that is where Django' succeeds mightily. Tarantino unequivocally characterises the men who kept slaves as the very essence of evil and cowardice. While the fight to free a slave is something that can and should be won by any means necessary.
But Django Unchained just doesn't want to end. We reach the natural wrapping up point of the third act, but still the baddies are on top. And so we head off into a gratuitous, hugely entertaining, fourth act. Tarantino's own comic cameo signals that the film has taken itself seriously for long enough, and Tarantino now intends to have some old fashioned fun. The last 10 minutes or so of Django Unchained are pure Quentin Unhinged. Anyone who can be shot, is. Anything that can blow up, does. It's an ear-ringing, jaw-dropping way to go out. I left the theatre grinning my face off. You probably will too.

I remember watching this with my sister on the very first airing. She predicted that the styrofoam lump who would be destroyed would be the black man, thus devaluing a black man, and reinforcing the sexist, patronizing "too pretty to die" attitude we saw on TV a lot. She was surprised at how it actually turned out...
Granted, there weren't that many people of color on the series to begin with, but can't recall any dying.
I'm glad a number of people agree with me that the two halves of this show don't really mesh.

The debian package info page for qtcurve is at http://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kde-style-qtcurve.html . Note that the package is marked as orphaned, there, so I guess it may be best to report the bug upstream. That appears to be at http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=40492 .

Re: Graphics corruption after sleep. in response to austinbondif they are charging 1500+ for product that I buy and don't guarantee that it will work out of the box...I think there is a problem
You're absolutely right. Although it comes down to what you're going to do with your computer makes all of the difference. I have an iBook G3 with 256MB RAM running Mac OS X 10.4 and it works perfectly well for what I use it for. I need no more RAM than this. Now, If I wanted to do more that then means I need rto buy more RAM then that's my responsibility, not Apple's.
I don't blame Renault for my Clio running out of gas. I bought it new with two drops in it, enough to get me to the nearest service station. if I wanted to go further and it stopped would it be their fault?

Re: Graphics corruption after sleep. in response to infinite vortexBut this is not the same situation....you iBook didn't have a graphics card that shares the memory with the CPU. I've run as little as iChat, Safari, and iCal and have gotten this...
I think that constitutes normal consumer use. If the graphics card system isn't a working and viable option with this amount of ram then something should be changed.

Re: Graphics corruption after sleep. in response to austinbondBut this is not the same situation....you iBook didn't have a graphics card that shares the memory with the CPU
Ture, but if you add the 80MB that the GMA950 grabs to the 256MB that I have then that's still well below the 512MB that comes as standard.
I've run as little as iChat, Safari, and iCal and have gotten this
OK… have you considered that there's something else at play other than a direct lack of RAM. For instance, have you installed and system additions that requires Rosetta.
I think that constitutes normal consumer use
Sure it does and even with the integrated graphics 512MB should be enough.
Yes I do agree that 512MB is on the low side of things although if one sticks with Universal binaries this should still be enough for most poeple… even with GMA950. What one does need to be careful with is how they manage their systems in general. You just can't add additions, run Dashboard widgets etc with impunity like you can with more RAM. By the way, the only addition that been added to my iBook system is MenuMeters. Beyond that it's a plain vanilla system.
I'm not saying this is the case for you but you do need to consider that the problem may not be simply a straight lack of RAM.

Re: Graphics corruption after sleep. in response to Andrew RennardAnd you still don't suspect something like Virtue? Did you test/use your computer for a while before adding things that change system behavior such as Virtue?

Re: Graphics corruption after sleep. in response to Andrew Rennardhttp://www.johnwaller.org/apple/macbook/#ISSUES
This is one of the MAJOR issues that I have with the MacBook right now. I've been battleing with it so much I've come to the Apple Support site looking for answers. It seems that its related to the driver and not the card itself.
The problem occurs when I put the MacBook to sleep (by either it doing so on its own or closing the lid).
So, suggestions?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6) 13.3" Black, 80gb/512/DVDRW

Re: Graphics corruption after sleep. in response to pinkeyeYes - take the battery out, and remove the plate covering the memory chips. Pop them out using the levers, and re-insert them, pressing hard. This will check that they are seated properly.
Next, take them out and put in a pair of 1GB chips or a pair of 512MB chips - not only will this probably cure the problem, the speed difference is like having a completely different machine.
I had multiple, severe symptoms in the first day of use - hard crashes, the lot. I upgraded to 2GB and in several full days of usage I have not had a single problem ! I cannot stress enough that you need more than 512MB of RAM in the MacBook. 512MB is like buying a Porsche and then sticking budget tyres on it !! Spend the (relatively) little extra amount of money to get some 3rd party RAM.
pinkeye May 28, 2006 1:39 PM
Re: Graphics corruption after sleep. in response to Andrew RennardI purchased 2Gbs this past week, and it should be delivered sometime on Tuesday. I'm expecting that this little (if you can consider it) change to help, but not FIX the problem. 512mbs of a laptop, stock, from Apple is bull$hit and STILL have this problem.
Andrew Rennard May 10, 2007 5:56 AM
Re: Graphics corruption after sleep. in response to Andrew RennardAlmost a year later, and this problem has never re-occurred.
Well, the original Macbook dies kind of self-destruct in flames, but the replacement has never had a problem either

I'm checking my app for Memory Leaks/Usage and came across something weird that I've only seen so far in Android 1.6 and 2.1. After clicking around in the app a bit and I run "adb shell dumpsys meminfo" for my application, I see the following:
DUMP OF SERVICE meminfo:

As you can see, nothing is getting deallocated/GC'd, the Activities are piling up, the AppContexts, etc. until the app just crashes with an OutOfMemoryError. This doesn't happen on 2.2+.
Can anybody give me some insight into why this is happening? I have a feeling it's either something simple, or it's just something weird with my app, but I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.
FYI, I've reproduced this in a 1.6 and 2.1 emulator, as well as my G1 running 1.6. A recent crash report from a user also shows this, which they were running 2.1 on a Droid Eris. Let me know if any more details/code is needed to help with this.
Thanks to the info from momo, I was able to track down some memory leak issues, which drastically cut down on the amount of Activities/AppContexts that would show in the Objects list of meminfo.
The number is now down to around the number of actual activities that are in my application, so it seems that on older versions of Android, it will show the total amount of objects your app is consuming. On newer versions it won't, though that could just be only the case on my test devices.

This is a nice piece to add to a toddler classroom. The children do a lot of pretend play with it. It is also low enough that they can safely play and climb on it.

Adult Swim Teams With Paul Scheer for Procedural Parody, Jenny Gago Joins 'Southland' and More
According to Deadline Hollywood, Paul Scheer's 'NTSF: SD: SUV' has been picked up for 12 episodes. The procedural parody started out as a faux commercial on 'Children's Hospital' but has been spun off, with Scheer writing, starring and producing.
Rob Riggle, Brandon Johnson and and June Raphael appeared in the original spoof, some are expected to appear in the series, but not as regulars.
In other TV news ...
• Oprah Winfrey is getting her best ratings in nearly three years. The talk show host has regularly lost to 'Judge Judy,' but her recent chats with Michael Jackson's children, George W. Bush and Marie Osmond has lifter her to an average of 8.3 million viewers. [Hollywood Reporter]
• Jenny Gago has joined the cast of 'Southland.' Gago will recur Detective Josie Ochoa as the partner of Regina King's character. [TV Guide]
• CBS is developing a modern-day western. 'Desperado' comes from 'CSI' creator Anthony Zuiker and follows a band of lawmen who enact cowboy-like justice on criminals. [Hollywood Reporter]
Leisha Hailey cast in The L Word spinoff
The L Word will kick off its sixth, and final, season in January, with Elizabeth Berkley in tow. That's a pretty nice run for any show, cable or network. If you're experiencing preemptive disappointment over the thought of losing the show, rest easy. As we heard at the TCAs, Ilene Chaiken, creator and executive producer of the show, has been signed to write and produce a pilot for an L Word spinoff.
Even better, we now know that Leisha Hailey has been brought in to star. She plays Alice, and would have easily been my pick for the character to spin off. The Showtime press release doesn't contain any details about what Chaiken has planned for Alice in the new series. We do know that she will take a storyline from season six and continue it as internet-only content. If the pilot goes forward to series, the online component will segue into the new show. I would add, if there is any way to bring back Erica Cerra, I'd be all for that. You can never have too much Erica Cerra on your television. Showtime's press release is after the jump.
The L Word season premiere streams online (free) first
Showtime's upcoming fifth season of The L Word will premiere first on OurChart.com, a lesbian-focused social community, according to BusinessWire.com. The OurChart.com premiere is slated for December 30, 2007 followed by the Showtime premiere on January 6, 2008. The choice is no coincidence, as co-founder and CEO of OurChart.com, Ilene Chaiken, is also the creator/producer of The L Word.
This is, regardless of anything else, another example of how technology and the new online media is becoming more and more intertwined with traditional television viewing.

Enjoying it :) no pictures in the Sistine Chapel. It is now copy write by a Japanese company that paid I think, 10 (but maybe more) million Euros to have it cleaned and filmed every second of the 5 year job, done in the 90s (I think she said). It was some experience to study the chapel in an art history class in the late 90s and then to be in the room its self. no words. There is magic here and it has seeped into my soul and I have only been here, about 24 hours I am not the only one who can fee it, I was on the street waiting for the hop...Jump to full entry
Jan 27, 2014 - Italy
so the destination has been picked after a car ride to Bar Montenegro, then an overnight ferry ride to Bari Italy, a 4 hour lay over and a 5 hour train ride I am in Rome Italy. I am not sure how long I will be staying here but I heard the Pope is here on Wednesday and even though I am not a part of his church it seems rude to leave before saying hi.

Next we went to Rome!!!!! Always wanted to go to Italy so that was really exciting! We didn't stay in the greatest location because we booked it the day before we left haha, but the place was nice so it wasn't a big deal. The first day we did the Vatican. Went to St. Peter's and the museum, and the Sistine chapel. Even in the winter it was very crowded. Had our first gelato (yummmm) and some pasta for dinner. The second day was a Sunday and we wanted to see the Pope so I did some research, with the help of my mom, and found out that he was...Jump to full entry

When the ship docks at Civitavecchia, it's still a long, long ways to Rome, an hour and a half each way by bus. So, with only a day in port, the buses pour out of the port area all hightailing it to the Eternal City. We were on one of those buses. We had been to Rome before but there are always sights to see. Of course, the Colosseum or Flavian Amphitheatre is one of those iconic sights. The ruins of the 157-foot high elliptical shaped structure shows off the many arches and seating levels.

Rome, November 11 Ah, Roma! Grammar and I had never been to Rome and we did not have a huge amount of time; so we signed up for an expensive bus tour that included the Vatican and a brief overview of Rome. After the 1½ hour bus trip to Rome, we arrived at the Vatican in the pouring rain. (Umbrella sellers - likely African refugees - were doing a brisk business; however the umbrellas were poor quality and we saw many inside out). Swarms of people without tickets were lined up to get in but we were whisked past them and, theoretically, into...Jump to full entry

They were found in 1971 and are huge! You can look them up on google. We also went to Osimo where St. Joseph of Cupertino last lived and where his body still is.

Margaret awoke with a tickly throat and felt she might have been in for a cold. Not wanting to jeopardise any of our trip time, we sensibly headed around the corner to the Tourist Medical centre. A short 15 minute wait, and into the doctor and nurse. Checked, antibiotics prescribed and out within 10 minutes, and no charge! Great service. Loved their sign (see pic) describing their services, including recipes! How handy. Prescription filled for just €6.50. Bargain!

Margaret declared today her day of rest. Fair call - it is day 36! I wanted to check out some more wool shops, so I was happy to let Margaret regroup and head off for a couple of hours - or so I thought. Consulted my public transport guide, and my trusty map and headed off. On the map, it was a pretty straight forward walk through Trastevere, across the Ponte Sisto to the bus stop for the bus that would take me directly to Piazza Cavours in Lepanto and the two wool shops on my radar.

The cheese man at our local market, as I have previously mentioned, is a delight. This morning I visited him for the ingredients for our lemon pasta. Lemon flavoured fettuccine, tossed after cooking with the freshest of ricottas, a cap of Limincello, smoked salmon and black pepper. Popped into the local for morning coffee, and truly felt like a local when my coffee was waiting for me with a big smile and "un a caffè latte, molto caldo". He had seen me crossing the square. Saw some more magnificent parking (see pic) on our way to the tram...Jump to full entry
Oct 17, 2013 - Rome - On the buses!
We lined up at the bus stop with the local mummas to catch the 115 bus to the Vatican. The bus drive there was amazing, across the top of the hill with full views of Rome laid out below. With nowhere near the crowds of yesterday, we set about for our tour. As well as beggars galore, Sudanese immigrants flogging everything from scarves to souvenirs to jewellery, there are touters for guided tours at every turn. We asked one chap if we could just do the Sistine Chapel and Basilica as that was enough for Margaret in one visit. To include the...Jump to full entry
Oct 16, 2013 - Papal Audience and Cardinal George
Our first visit to the Vatican today, the original reason for bringing Margaret on this holiday (it did start out as just a trip to Rome and the Vatican, but somewhat grew from there). It is the day of the Papal Audience, and we have arranged through Cardinal George Pell, a family friend from his years in Ballarat, for special tickets. Travelled by bus Domus Australia, George's residence and guest house in Rome. We explained to the young man on reception that we were friends of Cardinal Pell and were here to collect our tickets. He gave us...Jump to full entry
Oct 15, 2013 - Rome Discovery
Woke this morning with a Vegemite craving. Took till day 32, so pretty good. Around the corner to Piazza S Cossimato to raid the local market for crusty bread. It's a great little market, full of locals and very friendly. The cheese man was wonderful. He spoke English and regaled us with stories about his huge array of cheese, where they were from, how they tasted and how to use them. He and his mother shared a recipe for a lemon pasta with ricotta and smoked salmon. Will definitely have a go at that before we leave. Popped into the cafe...Jump to full entry

"For the design, I chose the purple option. They came out vibrant against the black background. While this card is little, I had no trouble reading the text in the banner or any of the fonts I chose to print on the front. The card printed crisp and clear on the thick card stock. They arrive flat, so you will need to fold them. I placed my under a heavy book to fold them down slightly more. The accompanying envelopes are of a fine quality. I opted for the straight edge on the back. They work well with address labels."
"I created a customized design with colors that matched my wedding invites (aqua and coral). I love the tile band, it looks so classy and timeless. The card stock is strong and of great quality. I'm not crazy about the wedding paper divas logo on the back, but I understand that some companies need to advertise! Highly recommend this stationary. It is a *small* index size card, just in case you don't read the dimensions (as I don't!), but I still found there was plenty of room to write my thank you notes."
"Everyone who has received one of these thank you cards has commented that they admired the quality of the paper and the clear fresh design...simple and elegant."
"I personalized this card with shimmer paper and the colors: smoke for the background then coast blue for the ribbon/border."
"Love how these thank you cards turned out for my shower! I was able to personalize them just how I wanted and didn't have to exactly follow the text layout in the example. The designer did exactly what I asked in the design request. I knew no actual glitter would be used however, the color/glitter effect was a bit more muted than I expected (I figured to look like glitter it might have a bit more shine to it). The cards are still beautiful and the look I wanted. Great work as always!"

Zenit St Petersburg boss Luciano Spalletti has praised compatriots Andrea Stramaccioni and Vincenzo Montella.
The 53-year-old has claimed that the young Inter tactician is the man to revive their recent misfortune, whilst the Fiorentina man is one of the best in the business.
"I think if Inter want to return to greatness, then they have to trust Stramaccioni," Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.
"He is a great and very capable Coach.
"Montella already has great experience having been in charge of three dressing rooms.
"He has taken over at Fiorentina and raised them to a new level. He found a team that was disorientated and has made them great again."

Dr. Gerald Hatten "Jerry" Buss - A Legacy Unmatched
If you were to walk inside STAPLES Center today, you will see a legacy left behind by just one man - Dr. Gerald Hatten "Jerry" Buss - who forever changed the face of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise. All you have to do is look up at the rafters to see the decorated successes Dr. Buss has openly shared with the fans - Nine retired jerseys, and countless other championship mementos.
Pre-Showtime Era and Shaq/Kobe Dynasty
Blue prints will show the blood, sweat and tears from founding owners Sid Hartman, Ben Berger, and Morris Chalfen (1947-57). The trio purchased the Detroit Gems for a modest $15,000. They then relocated the Gems to Minneapolis, Minnesota. With that move came the biggest gem of them all - a new team brand. Inspired by the States moniker, "Land of 10,000 Lakes", the Detroit Gems became the Minneapolis "Lakers". Who knows, the Gems might have been the better fit with all of glitz and glam Hollywood has to offer.
With the help of Mikan and Mikkelsen, the Minneapolis Lakers were crowned the NBA's first ever champions from the league's inaugural 1949-50 season. That championship season would spark four others from that era.
In 1957 Bob Short purchased the Minneapolis Lakers. Short's decision to relocate the Minneapolis Lakers just before the 1960-61 season to Los Angeles, California would be the smartest franchise move yet - outside of future draft picks of course. Five years later Short would sell the Los Angeles Lakers to new owner Jack Kent Cooke for $5 million. Far from the franchise outset purchase of $15,000.
West, Chamberlain, Goodrich and Co. then gave the Los Angeles Lakers franchise their sixth championship banner from that NBA record-setting 33-game winning streak season in 1971-72.
The Showtime Era (1979-89) - Crafted by team owner Dr. Jerry Buss
in 1979 Jack Kent Cooke sold the team to real estate mogul Dr. Jerry Buss. His real estate developing skills came into play as he purchased the team at just the right time. His newly purchased team was already loaded with enormous talent. Kareem, Jamaal, Nixon, and Coop were all ready to win championships - there was just one missing piece.
Buss would find himself in the midst of making franchise history by helping select Earvin "Magic" Johnson in the 1979 draft. In the 80's and what would become the Showtime Era, his team would give him five NBA titles from that decade - led by none other than the Magic man himself.
The hiring of Pat Riley as head coach from assistant coach duties; Signing of Kurt Rambis who would pioneer the path for future Laker bad boys; Selecting James Worthy from the 1982 first round pick and A.C. Green from the 1985 draft; and the signing of Byron Scott - Were all crafted by the genius of Dr. Jerry Buss.
Post-Showtime was the 90's where Buss hit a dry spell. This would later be categorized as the Van Exel era. A lot of roster changes with no results led to a decade that would spotlight a new player - Michael Jordan.
In 1996, Buss hits the jackpot by signing a young high school kid by the name of Kobe Bryant and another prospect by the name of Derek Fisher fresh from the University of Arkansas. Both packed with talent, but one more experienced. But there was one more big (huge) move looming that would raise eye brows.
Free agent Shaquille
O'Neal joined the
Los Angeles Lakers
on a seven-year, $121 million contract. Needless to say, the 1996-97 season showed serious promise. Buss wasn't done there, mid-through the season, he signs Robert Horry whose name would forever be etched in stone with just one shot.
After several seasons with playoff exits, a new millennium full of Zen arrives. Buss hires Phil Jackson as head coach entering the 1999-2000 season. While the Lakers would gain five more championship titles through this new dynasty the Laker family would lose several legends along the way.
Wilt Chamberlain would die from a heart attack in 1999. Chick Hearn, the voice of the Lakers passed away from injuries caused by a fall in 2002. George
Mikan died in
2005, of complications from diabetes and other ailments, and f
ive-time NBA champion Slater Martin passed away in 2012.
Today, Laker land mourns the loss of team owner Dr. Jerry Buss from an undisclosed form of cancer. This is a devastating blow to the heart and soul of the organization. With a season of disappointment and doubt that the Lakers will make the playoffs, losing the engine that drove this franchise to where its at now could destroy the team.
Dr. Jerry Buss, after hearing stories from past and present players, was no micromanager. His presence was felt when needed and walked away when not - leaving behind 100% trust in his staff. There's talks that Jeanie Buss will take over. This might be PJ's entrance to a dying franchise.
Dr. Jerry Buss will be missed. He truly left a legacy unmatched.

2005: Merge? See Talk:Duty of care.[edit]
- The 02:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC) revision of this talk page has missing signatures provided, multi-edit contributions noted, & apparently broken attempts at formatting fixed, but retains the previous order of contributions and the interleaving of the two topics, to support inspection of those original positionings to check the appropriateness of the reordering.
Merge? See Talk:Duty of care. ike9898 13:02, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
- Duty of Care is a US-centric term; certainly in the UK, Australia and NZ Due Diligence is the term used.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 10:46, 31 October 2005
- No, I don't think it is US-centric. "Due diligence" is the more well known term in the US as well. My understanding is that the term used depends on the area of law. I believe the term 'due care' is more common in tort law. I think we need someone with legal training to sort this all out. ike9898 02:08, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- Due Diligence is a term of art that has many meanings, no matter what the context - it has at least three commonly understood ones and I have just added the third --18.104.22.168 03:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think so either. To real estate investors/developers, due diligence means to do your home-work or research to determine if the property will be good or bad. Duty of care is a term i'm not really familiar with but sounds like procedures to avoid liability at a property.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:43, 9 January 2006
- Due diligence is used with a special and peculiar meaning in the U.S., relating strictly to the thorough review of obligations in business dealings. It's often disconcertingly used as a verb ("hey, we have to due diligence these contracts!"). --BD2412 T 21:04, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- No, I don't think it is US-centric. "Due diligence" is the more well known term in the US as well. My understanding is that the term used depends on the area of law. I believe the term 'due care' is more common in tort law. I think we need someone with legal training to sort this all out. ike9898 02:08, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- I think the two should be kept separate, particulary with respect to environmental issues. In the context of UK environmental management, 'due diligence' is indeed something that is associated with the
development of landenvironmental liabilities which need to be identified during corporate transactions. However, 'Duty of Care' is associated with legal obligations (Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations 1991) all waste producers have when disposing of their waste. (T Bates, 18th Feb 2006)
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 23:43-48(4edits) & :52, 18 February 2006
- As someone with "legal training", albeit UK legal training, a duty of care seems different to the idea of due diligence as a civil defence. A duty of care is a legal obligation that you may have to another person in certain circumstances to act with a particular degree of care - if you don't you have to pay them damages in negligence. "Due diligence" appears to be a "defence" to this in US law, though we don't use the phrase in that sense in the UK - if someone has acted with "due diligence" then we simply say they have met the standard of care required, so no tort is committed prima facie. The concept is the same, just the terms are different.
But while the two terms in that usage are clearly closely linked even if not the same, the meaning of due diligence in the UK, and also often in the US, it would seem, is a process of investigation that a buyer, investor or lender will conduct on a business before it buys it, invests in it or lends to it. No legal obligation to anyone else comes into the picture at all. It is just something that you do for your own sake to assess the value of a company and the problems within it. If you fail to do it, you just fail to get a proper picture of the company.
We need to make sure that these meanings of DD are kept separate, as they have become somewhat conflated. I'm going to try and restructure the article. I'm not very familiar with US concepts of the term, so forgive me if I slightly mishandle that, but the article is currently confusing so I hope that whatever I do will be an improvement. --Arthur Markham 11:52 & 12:03, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Article says "ordinarily prudent of resonable party "... is this a series of typos or is it jargon? It seems like it should read "ordinarily prudent member of a reasonable party"

I removed the above as a source since it was added by an anonymous user with no other edits. It is listed as a source on the corresponding German Wikipedia article, but there is no indication here of what, if any, information from the English article is attributable to that source. That kind of defeats the purpose of referencing sources. — GT 07:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Vandalism reverted[edit]
There seems to be a huge block of french text near the top of the article. I'm too new to the wiki to know if this is actually OK, but it seems odd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 18:57, 23 February 2007

Link suggestion from anonymous user[edit]
I've removed that link from the article, but I'm putting it here in case you decide it should be in the article. --SueHay 00:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
In the "For supplier quality engineering" section:
Due diligence is a term used for a number of concepts involving either the performance of source inspection or source surveillance, or the performance of quality duties such as PVA (what is PVA?) or System Audits with a certain standard of care.
That "what is PVA?" absolutely screams "copy and paste job". Unless the source is a free one (eg a US Federal govt source) then it's surely a copyvio from somewhere. 22.214.171.124 14:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Please Check Links to quasi spam "External Sources"[edit]
Could someone who knows more about WP than I do please check the appropriateness of the external sources linked toward the end of the article? What appear to be links to useful documents turn out to be links to businesses offering services.
I do some risk assessment & management work and know there are sites out there that give real (though general) info. The links provided are not useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 06:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Review Wp:external_links. I didn't find any meaningful or relevant content in the links posted, and I don't think any of the sites qualify as a reliable source. I'm going to delete the entire section (the burden of proof is on the person placing external links). PeetMoss 14:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that the burden of proof is on the person adding the external link. Removal was a good idea. If a certain link is worthy of being here, the person adding it will need to explain its value in the edit summary. — ¾-10 22:52, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Capstone link[edit]
The link to "capstone" seems incorrect (pointing to an architecture page). I'm not sure what the text intended to link to, since I'm not familiar with the term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 19:19, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- CAPSTONE is a design class for many engineering students at universities around the country intended to be the final stepping stone into the professional world. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 06:12 & :13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Due diligence or Due Diligence?[edit]
As a reader of this article I'm confused, could one of the authors clarify whether it should be capped or not? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- The phrase "due diligence" has a specific interpretation in law that is more restrictive than what is implied by juxtaposing the two words, which is probably the source of your confusion. But IMO capitalizing implies a single thing like the Long March or the Wilderness Road or the Battle of the Dunes (1600), that qualifies for a proper name. IMO the fact that it usually refers to the diligence that is due in a specific situation is sufficient to mandate down-casing; in contrast, i'm not sure how to draw the line between human rights or general relativity on one hand and Original Sin (different from "the original sin", "an original sin") or the Virgin Birth (different from "the virgin birth of Aphrodite") on the other; perhaps i should take to heart the fact that here at WP those are both redirects to down-cased titles, but on the other hand, in both articles the terms' uses in the respective lead sentences are capitalized! It's not too surprising if the boundary is unclear, but i don't think this is close to the boundary: i find it hard to imagine Due Diligence, except as treatises on the subject ("Due Diligence" or Due Diligence, depending on size) or a jocular headline on a flier about remembering to get your library books back on time.

Contributions by User:Boatanchors[edit]
I've reverted Boatanchors (talk · contribs)' rewrite again. There are several problems with it, the main being the fact that a large part of the new text has been copied from elsewhere. --Daggerstab (talk) 12:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Parts of the Obama Administration seem to ignore each other when it comes to actions that support greater investment in public transportation.
On overall funding and general rhetoric, there has been no greater friend of our industry than this administration. It has advocated for record amounts of funding and done everything possible despite an extremely divided Congress to ensure that the federal transit program stays alive.
Divided government
Yet the administration itself is sometimes its own divided government. Two recent examples stand out. First, the FTA simply refuses to back down or reconsider its unprecedented application of Buy America rules to utilities relocation. Whether or not you believe that this area of major projects should have been under the Buy America umbrella all along, it is clearly a new interpretation of these rules. The FTA says it is following new parts of MAP-21, but the Federal Highway Administration decided to issue a generous waiver. Clearly, the FTA could have found a way to do something similar.
The other example is how FTA and the Department of Labor (DOL) have been enforcing 13(c) labor protection rulings. States and cities are under pressure to reduce budgets in the wake of the recession, especially in how they fund future pension obligations, and they have made some reforms of their pension and retirement health care plans. Usually, these require workers to contribute more to their retirement. However, the administration says that some of these reforms violate labor protection laws and in some cases, most notably in California, the FTA and DOL held up grants. As a result, transportation systems across California and other states could have faced huge service cuts and the delay or cancellation of major capital projects.
Fortunately, a deal was reached in the 11th hour between the administration and the California officials, which suspended this decision pending the passage of new legislation in California that temporarily exempts public transit workers from the earlier law. It should have never gotten this far; almost $2 billion in projects were on the verge of being suspended, and other systems still face similar threats.Actions contradict desireThe administration needs to understand that these and many other actions contradict the president's repeatedly stated desire to see public transportation grow and be part of needed economic change in the U.S. We in the industry and through our associations need to get them to understand this current disconnect, and have a process to avoid them in the future. The only place that can happen is at the White House — because agency officials are not listening.
The agency is already providing enhanced routes and options through a unique 5-year partnership agreement with Megabus.com which began last year, to offer express travel to and from Miami and Orlando for as little as $1.
The 20th installment of the show featured more than 50 new exhibitors, 70-plus vehicles and plenty of information to inspire attendees.
A bipartisan measure has been introduced in the lower chamber that would push back the deadline for most railroads to install automated train technology until December 2018.
The new Plattsburgh, N.Y., building will be equipped of a welcoming customer area, 10 bus delivery spaces and offices to enable our customers to continue their professional activities during their stay.
Fleet managers for transit agencies, universities and schools, governments and for-hire transit companies are encouraged to register while spaces are still available.
