NEWARK, N. Marcus Foligno Jersey .J. -- Matt Prater was at home in bed late last week, trying to recover from a nasty illness, when he flipped on his TV. There at the bottom of the screen was a line that made him feel even more queasy: "It said, Matt Prater questionable for Super Bowl," the Denver Broncos kicker said with a laugh during media day Tuesday. "I was like, Where is that coming from? It was definitely strange, but I guess for the Super Bowl, everythings a big deal." Prater found that out firsthand after he missed practices from last Thursday through Saturday when he was sent home by the team so he could recover in time for this week -- and not get any of his teammates sick. "Im feeling a lot better and I should be fine Sunday," Prater said, showing no signs of sniffles from the flu bug that he couldnt kick for a few days. "I mean, I wasnt dying. I was definitely really sick and I was basically useless for four days. I felt like a truck hit me, but I wouldve still tried to play in the Super Bowl even if I was sick." The big-legged kicker who set an NFL record with a 64-yarder on Dec. 8 in Denver wasnt concerned about the chances of not being at full strength for the big game against Seattle. Prater kicked Monday at practice for the first time since the AFC championship game against New England. "I didnt feel too rusty," Prater said. Prater is 30 of 31 on field-goal attempts this season, including 5-for-5 in the playoffs. The only miss was a 52-yarder that was barely wide left on Dec. 1 at Kansas City. The next week at Denver, he booted the record-breaker in icy conditions. "I remember the first time he kicked a ball in front of me and it jumped off his foot, I was amazed how hard he kicked it," said second-year long snapper Aaron Brewer. "Its comforting to know he can kick it from anywhere." Prater also led the NFL with 81 touchbacks and was 12 of 12 in kickoff touchbacks in the Broncos two home playoff games. It will have been five weeks by the time the Super Bowl rolls around since the Broncos special teams unit covered a kickoff. So, Praters leg strength could be a factor if hes not ready to boom kicks out of the end zone. The site and conditions could also play a role. In the Broncos game against the Giants at MetLife Stadium on Sept. 15, five of Praters eight kickoffs were returned, his season-low touchback rate -- and that was in 70-degree, sunny conditions with minimal wind. The temperatures are expected to be in the 30s around kickoff Sunday. "I feel pretty good," Prater said. "I just need to get my bearings back a little bit. Maybe it was good to have a few days off. Im just hoping to get completely healthy and be ready for Sunday." Prater plans to line up from about 65 yards out before the game, just to gauge his range. The fact MetLife Stadium has FieldTurf is a plus, too, because it provides what he called "perfect conditions" no matter the weather. With the Broncos top-ranked offence going up against the Seahawks No. 1 defence, theres a chance it could be a tight game that comes down to a field-goal attempt. "Weve done it so many times and Matts so good that I almost feel like theres no pressure on me and all the pressures on him," said punter Britton Colquitt, whos also the holder on field goals. "He even says, I dont care about the laces or anything. Just put it down, and Ill kick it. Hes very confident." And for good reason. Prater, in his seventh season with the Broncos, has converted 47 of 50 career field goals in the fourth quarter, and is 4 for 4 in overtime. He also has the best field-goal percentage from 50-plus yards (.778, 21 of 27) in league history among players with 20 or more attempts who began their careers after 1970. Despite all those gaudy stats and clutch kicks, Prater would rather Peyton Manning and the Broncos offence make it a rout Sunday. "It would be an awesome game if Im just kicking extra points," he said, laughing. "Ill take a three-touchdown win." Tyler Ennis Jersey . With just under five seconds remaining - the Raptors having clawed back from a 19-point deficit and pulled within one - DeRozan took the handoff from Chuck Hayes. Matt Cullen Jersey . It was considered unlikely that Rielly would be loaned to Canada for the tournament, which begins Dec. 26 in Malmo, Sweden, though a stretch of three straight games in the press box made it something of a debate. http://www.hockeywildauthority.com/charlie-coyle-wild-jersey-c-16/ . Louis Blues were workmanlike, methodical and -- most of all -- effective on Monday night.Drone Racing has been described as the sport of the future and it is coming to Sky Sports... Sky has invested $1m in The Drone Racing League (DRL), and has agreed to a distribution deal that will see the thrilling world of elite drone racing come to the newly launched Sky Sports Mix channel.The DRL is a futuristic racing phenomenon, which sees quad-copter drones reach speeds of up to 120mph as skilled pilots guide them through three-dimensional courses. DRL pilots use first-person view goggles to guide their drones DRL pilots are kitted out with first-person view (FPV) goggles, which transmit a live image from an onboard camera, and the custom-designed drones are guided through complex courses in the fastest time possible.Race names such as Moke, Furadi and Zoomas are given to the DRL pilots, while their personal race equipment is given titles such as Hovership Zuul SuperBeast or RotorX Atom & Dronewolf Pup. First-person view racing brings pilots closer to the action in Drone Racing DRL pilots often have their own trademark flying technique, with MattyStuntz being well known for his lightning fast acrobatic moves, and Moke performs a high speed flip through small gaps. Chris Stewart Jersey. Recent races have been staged at a power plant in New York and Miamis Sun Life Stadium, which has attracted competitors from Brazil, Mexico, Australia.Find out what it is all about watch our Introduction to Drone Racing on Sky Sports Mix from 4am on Friday September 16, with the series getting underway in October.

Seven Wonders of the World
Welcome back!
Our final term is upon us. How quickly the time has flown! Hopefully, we should see some Summer sunshine now.
Our topic for this term is indeed a big one, and hopefully, something for everyone to enjoy. We will be travelling the globe and looking at The Seven Wonders of the World. Do you know what they are? (I had to look them up myself):
We will be studying various aspects of geography, history, culture and civilisation, making comparisons to now. Children will hopefully gain a sense of dates throughout history, geographical locations and an understanding how people lived in the past. They will learn why each of these landmarks qualify as 'Wonders of the World', are key landmarks and popular tourist attractions today. Hopefully, this will be an interesting topic for all.
Home project:
This term, children will have the opportunity to complete a project at their own leisure at home. They can make a model, write a story / poem or create some other art work that relates to one of the Seven Wonders. I will send out more information in due course. Also, just to give you a 'heads up', the class will be hosting a dress-up day in the last week, whereby parents will be invited to take a look at all of their work. They will be able to dress up as a person of their choice based on one of the Seven Wonders (e.g. Roman Gladiator, Incan/Mayan tribesman/woman, Chinese emperor/peasant). Again, I'll let you know more on that later on. ..
In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you all back soon!
Mrs Durman and Mrs Pitts
Welcome back everyone – we hope that you've had a fabulous Easter holidays (and not gorged on too much chocolate!). Anyway, it's now time to come back to school to start a brand new topic.
In line our 'whole school' geography approach, KS1 (years 1 and 2) will be studying 'Our Local Area'; in other words, Drayton and Abingdon. This will give us opportunity to get 'out and about' and take a closer look at our surroundings. Children will be using maps and atlases to help them locate various physical and man-made landmarks, whilst (hopefully) enjoying the sunnier, warmer weather.
As our topic is local, I will imagine that there are many of you out there that are 'experts'. If this is you, or anyone else that you know, then please let us know. We would be very keen to hear from people that can share any stories/information with the children. Children are encouraged to bring in anything related to Drayton / Abingdon that might be of interest to the rest of the class. For instance, if you or someone you know works in a local 'traditional' industry, then please come and see me. Parent helpers: we will also be on the look-out for help on a local walk week 1.
Although our topic is local, we will also be comparing it another two mystery locations (one in the UK, the other not). I don't want to say too much yet, but one will be the focus of our school trip in week 4. More will be revealed about this later.
Our writing focus this term is 'to inform', which is factual rather than fictional. Children will be writing travel brochures and letters to another school. If you want to help them with this at home, then perhaps you can encourage them to keep a diary/journal, writing about any trips or days out. The more they write at home, the more confident they become at school.
In maths, not only will we continue to consolidate previous number work but we will also continue to learn about fractions, graphs, geometry and measurement (time, money, capacity and volume). There are plenty of websites that offer free online games, such as TopMarks (http://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/times-tables) and BBC Bitesize.
Children will continue to be taught spellings explicitly every day based around our Phonics scheme. Each Friday, they will bring home some spellings to learn based on these (along with a maths sheet based on arithmetic). It is important that they learn these to prepare them for KS2 in September. I will be assessing them on these each week to ensure they are getting the support they need.
PE will continue to be on a Friday after lunch. This term (weather permitting) will be outside (team games, athletics etc.). It is really important that they have all their PE kit with them including suitable trainers for running. Without the correct footwear, they will not be able to take part as we don't have spares. Also, they will all need a named water bottle, which can stay at school.
Don't forget, as before, you are welcome to come to parent activity morning every Friday from 8:40 until 9:00. You will be able to look at your children's work and/or help them with their morning activity. During this time, it is important that your children sit down to do their work, and not wander/run around.
Please see our termly curriculum overview on website.
Kind regards,
Mrs Durman and Mrs Pitts
Welcome back. Oh my goodness, how the time is flying this year! Term 4 already!
This terms Blackbirds will be studying The Amazon Rainforest as their topic - as you can imagine, a very rich, exciting and broad topic, that will hopefully suit all. As part of the geography curriculum, we will be look at various aspects of the world around us, including rivers, mountains and coast. Children will be looking at different sectors of the population of the Amazon area, including tribes. They will also be brushing up on their map skills by making 3-D maps of South America.
In science, we will be looking at plants as well as animals, which will continue into next term. Weather permitting, we will get chance to look outside and explore the wildlife around us as well as looking at further a field.
This topic lends itself well to a varied art / DT curriculum giving children the opportunity to make and create lots of colourful masterpieces.
In maths, we will be studying measurement (mass, length, money), statistics and brushing up on number skills and place value. Writing and reading will be more focused on information text (reports, instructions, leaflets).
Children will experience two hours of PE per week. One hour will be in the form of an explicitly taught lesson (every Friday afternoon); the other hour will be made up of 15 minutes-a-day running (a whole school policy). Please can you make sure that your child's PE kit is in school for Fridays (trainers, black shorts and a white T-Shirt)
Things to remember:
Daily: water bottle, reading book and reading journal (these are used and checked daily)
Weekly: PE Kit (black shorts, trainers, white T-Shirt)
Please see our termly curriculum on our Blackbirds class page (www.drayton-pri.oxon.sch.uk).
Kind regards,
Mrs Durman and Mrs Pitts.
Autumn Term
Dear Parents,
It is great to see the children back in school again, full of energy and ready to learn.
This term's topic is all about HM Queen Elizabeth, and of course, the rest of The Royal Family. We will be exploring her life in terms of the early days, becoming and being our monarch, family life, royal homes, duties and future Royals. As you can imagine, this topic is quite vast and offers many opportunities to cover a wide curriculum.
Later in the term, we will be having a couple of very special days. We will be scheduling in a school trip to somewhere regal – watch this space! Secondly, the children will be hosting their own party at the palace (i.e. our classroom). They will be gradually converting our classroom into somewhere more palatial in order to invite other children in for fizz and nibbles. The children (in Blackbirds) will be able to dress up as royalty for the day.
Our writing genre this term is 'to inform', meaning that the children will have a variety of purposes to write for (letters, instructions, diaries and reporting). We will also be reading several fairy and traditional folklore tales (involving queens and kings).
In maths, we will be continuing with addition and subtraction, and starting multiplication and division. It would be great if you could help your child at home. (Please see me if you would like any resources / suggestions).
Children will experience two hours of PE per week. One hour will be in the form of an explicitly taught lesson (every Friday afternoon); the other hour will be made up of 15 minutes-a-day running (a whole school policy). Please can you make sure that your child's PE kit is in school for Fridays (trainers, black shorts and a white T-Shirt)
Things to remember:
Daily: water bottle, reading book and reading journal (these are used and checked daily)
Weekly: PE Kit (black shorts, trainers, white T-Shirt)
Please see our termly curriculum on our Blackbirds class page (www.drayton-pri.oxon.sch.uk).
Kind regards,
Mrs Durman and Mrs Pitts.
Welcome back!
... after what seems like an age. It is great to see the children, full of energy and enthusiasm, and ready to learn. Our first week has been a success, with students beginning to practise their new routines and get used to the new surroundings and teachers.
The topic for this term is 'Who Cares?' a topic all about animals. Last term (all those weeks ago, back in July, during transition day!), Blackbirds Class voted on what they would like to the first topic to be. With quite a large majority, 'pets (plus other animals)' was a clear favourite. We will therefore be looking at all aspects of caring for animals (including pets, zoo animals and conservation in the wild). This will be reflected in our science curriculum – animals and humans.
Our writing genre this term is both 'to entertain' and 'to inform' meaning that the children will have a variety of purposes to write for (letters, instructions and fiction etc.). We will be studying several books, starting with the award winning 'Lost and Found' (by Oliver Jeffers). This is a heart-warming story of friendship and kindness (and about a penguin!).
In maths, we will be starting with place value (tens and ones) which we will be practising every day. Your child would benefit hugely if they could practise this at home. Please ask me if you need any guidance with this. There are plenty of free, online resources (such as Top Marks) if you would like to encourage them using technology.
Phonics will be taught first thing every day. It is therefore essential that your child is in school on time to ensure that they do not miss anything. In the coming weeks, children will be given homework every week which they will be expected to do and bring back. It would be brilliant if you could help them with this. It will mostly involve spelling, writing and handwriting. Children will be bringing reading book and reading journals home today. Please could you try and read every day if possible (even for just 10 minutes), as this will benefit them hugely with respect to other areas of the curriculum. Any adults/young people can write in the journals in order to maintain communication. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer reading with children in the class – we would be most grateful!
Children will experience two hours of PE per week. One hour will be in the form of an explicitly taught lesson (every Friday afternoon); the other hour will be made up of 15 minutes-a-day running (a whole school policy). Please can you make sure that your child's PE kit is in school for Fridays (trainers, black shorts and a white T-Shirt).
We recommend that children bring in their own water bottle every day. These are kept in class where they can be refilled anytime. Children are able to drink during the school day when they want (except during teaching time).
Please see our termly curriculum - attached
In the meantime, we look forward to meeting you all in the near future.
Mrs Durman and Mrs Pitts.

'Lodestar': is this word the key to unmasking the author of scathing anti-Trump New York Times op-ed?
One theory running rampant on the internet concludes the author was none other than Vice-President Mike Pence – who has used that one unusual word in numerous speeches and sound bites
Related topics
It was a metaphoric Molotov, a middle finger, a knife in the back. Even in the midst of a US administration and news cycle that powers a ceaseless hamster wheel of drama, The New York Times op-ed from an anonymous "senior" official in the Trump White House was jaw-dropping.
The author declared that he or she is part of the "resistance" against the president, "working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations". The piece slammed Donald Trump for his inadequacies and volatility and declared him a danger to the country. But lucky for America, the author said, there's a group of subversives trying to keep him at bay.
But the explosion the piece created wasn't really about the what; it was mostly about the who. It was also about the spectacle, the joy of the adrenaline-fuelled race. It was the starting whistle setting off another remarkable round of Washington's unofficial sport: gossip.
Dear @realDonaldTrump: The anonymous New York Times op-ed writer used the unusual word "lodestar." FREE CLUE: Ask Mother if there's anyone in your administration who *loves* using that word . . . pic.twitter.com/EIQ5izIP3t
— Mrs. Betty Bowers (@BettyBowers) September 6, 2018
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT LODESTAR MEANS?" pic.twitter.com/neNGLzj0s6
— Matt Bevan (@MatthewBevan) September 6, 2018
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who previously served as Trump's CIA director, said he was not the author and slammed the Times for publishing the piece.
"It's not mine," Pompeo told reporters during a trip to New Delhi, India. "If it's accurate ... they should not well have chosen to take a disgruntled, deceptive, bad actor's word for anything and put it in their newspaper."
A spokesman for US Vice-President Mike Pence's office also criticised the Times and said Pence does not write anonymous opinion columns.
"The Vice-President puts his name on his Op-Eds. The @nytimes should be ashamed and so should the person who wrote the false, illogical, and gutless op-ed. Our office is above such amateur acts," Pence spokesman Jarrod Agen said on Twitter.
Nonetheless, internet conspiracy theorists cracked their knuckles and settled in for a long night's labour. Pundits sat by their phones and in front of TV screens, waiting for their chances to weigh in. Ravenous masses took to Twitter to tear into the piece's breadcrumbs. The game was afoot.
TRUMP: A lot of people are saying that you are #lodestar.
PENCE: Mr. President, that's simply not true.
TRUMP: No one uses that word Pence. No one.
PENCE: Sir, how can I further prove my loyalty? I am your guy. Your lodestar.
TRUMP: My what?
PENCE: Fiddlesticks. Mother!

The avalanche of guesses engulfed just about everyone in the top tiers of the White House – press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, adviser Kellyanne Conway, chief of staff John Kelly.
Some were sure it'd be a big name; others were positive it'd be a powerful nobody. Perhaps it was written by John McCain before his death in a final act of defiance? Many predicted Trump and his allies had plotted and penned the op-ed themselves to feed the fires of internal controversy and distract from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's hearings. The bets literally rolled in.
Some zeroed in on vice-president Pence as the mystery author, primarily because of the use of the word "lodestar" in the piece. Gung-ho sleuths traced the word through numerous Pence speeches, dating back to 2001.
Or maybe it's Pence's speech-writer, some pondered. Who the heck knows?
'TREASON?' rages Trump as staffer tells of secret resisters in White House
Trump attacked the piece and its publisher – the "Failing New York Times" – in his Wednesday afternoon meeting with the press pool, calling it "gutless."
"We have somebody in what I call the failing New York Times that's talking about he's part of the resistance inside the Trump administration," Trump told reporters. "This is what we have to deal with. And you know the dishonest media … But it's really a disgrace."
Afterward, the President tweeted a single word: TREASON?
In a fiery statement, Sanders declared the piece "a new low," demanded an apology from the Times and called for the author's resignation.
"He is not putting country first, but putting himself and his ego ahead of the will of the American people," she said. "The coward should do the right thing and resign."
Paranoia blossomed behind closed doors in the White House, according to a Washington Post report, as aides and staffers engaged in a fevered, real-life game of "Guess Who?" as they tried to nail down the op-ed's author.
Although a note at the top of the piece saying the author's identity was "known" to the Times opinion staff, those privy stayed tight-lipped, apparently bound to protect the official's anonymity, despite outcry from the paper's own reporters.
But in an interview with CNN, a Times op-ed page editor, Jim Dao, revealed that the source had reached out to the paper through a go-between, offering to unveil (well, sort of) the "resistance" within the administration to the world. He didn't say how the Times communicated with the author, or elaborate on exactly how "senior" the person is, CNN reported.
If I were writing this story, the anonymous source behind the New York Times op-ed would've intentionally used the word "lodestar" to make people think it's Mike Pence. If he were smarter than Mike Pence.
— Randi Mayem Singer (@rmayemsinger) September 6, 2018
Donald Trump's day so far:
- His own administration plotting against him
- 25th Amendment in play
- People think Mike Pence wrote anonymous New York Times op-Ed
- What the hell is a "lodestar"
- Trump tells "TREASON"
- Damn right Trump committed treason
- It's still only 10:20pm
— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) September 6, 2018
Those bored by the attempts at unmasking the author moved on to what might follow, what legacy the person might win through their public betrayal. Would they be heralded as a hero, paraded through the talk-show circuit and rewarded handsomely in book deals and prestigious opportunities, asked Karen Attiah, The Post's Global Opinions editor.
Others decried the author as a coward, a villain in complicity, proof that even those who see the president as a threat and a failure still aren't willing to confront him in the open.
Through all the hoopla, the mystery of the op-ed led to a rare moment of unity in a divided nation, in the form of countless references to the 1979 horror movie, When A Stranger Calls.

The Future of Rural Texas Symposium – Host a Watch Party!
On November 12 and 13, the Texas Tribune and the Texas Rural Funders Collaborative will present a symposium called "The Future of Rural" at Texas A&M University. The symposium will feature community leaders, elected officials and stakeholders addressing several important issues including education, healthcare, natural resources and economic development. The goal is to convene stakeholders to examine and bring attention to rural issues. The event will be livestreamed to multiple locations across the state.
The Texas State Library and Archives Commission and the Tocker Foundation are partnering to encourage libraries to participate in this exciting free online event. Specifically, we are asking that you save the date and consider hosting a livestream watch party for your community. If you are interested in hosting a livestream watch party in your community, please sign up to receive a toolkit to guide you through the process. You can choose to participate in all or part of this event. We are also encouraging libraries to use the symposium as an opportunity to stimulate discussions of matters that resonate to their communities.
Educate Texas, a partner organization for the event, provides more information on how to get involved:
What is a watch party?
- A watch party is a social gathering in which attendants view an event remotely. The symposium will be livestreamed and archived, so your group can watch panel discussions and participate in the conversation in your town at any time convenient for your group.
Why should my organization host a watch party?
- The purpose of the symposium is to bring attention to rural value and needs. Through the watch parties we hope to start a statewide conversation. We encourage organizations to engage with their communities on the issues especially relevant to their region.
Are there resources to help me plan this event?
- Yes. The Texas Tribune has created a viewing guide to help plan your event. You will also will have the flexibility to plan a watch party that meets your communities' needs. For example:
- Only stream panels relevant to your community.
- Your watch party can be open to the public or a private event.
- Schedule your event to occur after the symposium if livestreaming is a concern.
- The number of attendants can vary depending on your space and community.
- Create your own community discussion questions based on the panel topics.
Sign Up to Host a Watch Party
We hope you can join us for this exciting event. If your organization plans to host a watch party, please complete this form and the Tribune will provide a watch party viewing guide by October 9th when the symposium registration opens. You may also wish to download the Rural Watch Parties – Info Sheet.
About the Texas Rural Funders Collaborative
In July 2017 a group of funders came together to consider how we might collaborate to bring additional attention and resources to rural Texas. The Texas Rural Funders Collaborative (TRFC) is made up of private foundations, community foundations, and health-conversation foundations. All-together the participating funders represent a variety of interests. We support the work that many rural practitioners dedicate themselves to every single day. It is our hope that by working together and with other people representing a diversity of expertise that we have the opportunity to take a cross-sectoral approach to honor, preserve and strengthen rural life in Texas. Our belief is that the health of our state depends upon the success of ALL our communities and that urban and rural areas are inextricably linked. Throughout, it has been a priority for us to approach this work from an asset, rather than deficit, perspective; we are eager to share what is working in rural communities as what is not.
About the Texas Tribune
The mission of The Texas Tribune is grounded in the belief that giving Texans plentiful access to nonpartisan news and information about statewide issues is crucial to encouraging civic participation and a healthy, vibrant Texas. Every day, the Tribune produces ambitious public-service journalism on matters of statewide concern — to provide Texans with the tools and information they need to become civically engaged and better informed about a host of issues, including education, income inequality, health and human services and more.

Chamber honors teachers of the year
The Greater Conroe/Lake Conroe Area Chamber of Commerce honored 2012-13 teachers of the year last week as more than 200 educators, paraprofessionals, school administrators and community members gathered at La Torretta Lake Resort and Spa.
The room was filled to show appreciation for the hard work teachers and paraprofessionals do in the Conroe, Montgomery and Willis school districts.
"With the revitalization of our Education Committee, we sought out to see what we could do for our school districts. After sitting down with the superintendents from the three school districts our Chamber serves, the answer was clear - teacher appreciation," said Scott Harper, Chamber president.
The Greater Conroe/Lake Conroe Area Chamber of Commerce awarded plaques to 97 teachers from the three school districts. There to present each teacher with an award were Superintendents Don Stockton (CISD), Beau Rees (MISD) and Tim Harkrider (WISD).
The event would not have been possible without the help of the Chamber's Education Committee, comprised of Rob Koester (Consolidated Communications), Andrea Wilson (Montgomery County 911), Linda O'Dell (Woodforest National Bank), Monica Bomkamp-Enia (EfTA), Rebecca Duncan (Lone Star College-Conroe Center) and Carol Gooch (Aspire Behavioral Hospital). Event sponsors included Consolidated Communications, Lone Star College-Conroe Center, Woodforest National Bank, the city of Conroe, the city of Montgomery and the city of Willis.
"This certainly won't be the last time the Chamber appreciates our teachers," Harper said. "With all the positive feedback we have received from this event, we are very excited to add this to our annual event calendar."

Cedar Creek Corridor Enhancement project boosts local rainforest
Tamborine Mountain Landcare Group, QLD
Whether flying over the dense canopy or creeping through the understory shrubs, the local critters of the Tamborine Mountain region now have new wildlife corridors to continue their journeys.
The 'Cedar Creek Corridor Enhancement Project' received funding through a Be Natural Landcare grant to purchase trees, plants, seedling guards and nesting boxes, all to help better support the native fauna of South East Queensland.
Once covered in beautiful natural rainforest, the creek was badly affected by the construction of school buildings. Ten years ago a group of volunteers managed to reclaim one side of the natural habitat and today Landcarers aim to reclaim the rest of the weedy land.
Preparation began with the enthusiastic support of Tamborine Mountain State High School students who participated in biodiversity presentations, planted valuable flora and learnt methods of water testing by monitoring bugs in the creek.
Overall 282 students and adult volunteers have helped plant more than 800 seedlings! The eager Landcarers have also broadened their understanding of the habitat needs of different species, water health and the eradication of invasive weeds.
From the generous work that was done a decade before, project leaders can see the benefits that have been brought to species like platypus, mullet, water dragons, bluetongues, red-bellied black snakes and carpet pythons. Possums, gliders and lorikeets will also benefit from the Be Natural Landcare grant as students were given the opportunity to install 20 fabulous nesting boxes, kindly made by the local Men's Shed.
Over 30 enjoyable community days, the Tamborine Mountain Landcare group has successfully brought together an environmentally conscious community and, more importantly, has provided local wildlife with a better home in which to flourish. This is what being part of Landcare is all about!

Promoted by John Reese, the "virtual land" idea is extremely intriguing, however fairly confounding for some web advertisers, so how about we begin with a clarification! Virtual land isn't about disconnected land, however it is tied in with building a consistently developing number of top notch sites that will get cash for a considerable length of time to come.
Would you be able to fabricate virtual land by utilizing visite 3d immobilier and substance designers? Unquestionably not. As time will pass, it will turn out to be increasingly hard to get great rankings in the web indexes, and crappy sites worked with mechanized programming and copy substance will simply vanish from the web crawlers results. This is the reason it is imperative to begin constructing top notch sites TODAY, so you will pick up activity from the web indexes from years to come. Do you require an item or an administration to offer with a specific end goal to manufacture your own particular virtual land realm? In no way, shape or form! What's more, this is the decent thing about it.
Making an item requires significant investment, and many individuals are put off by that. Rather, you can manufacture content sites with data on it, without offering any item or administration, and profit from the advertisements you put on it. By building an astounding substance site, you can get a considerable measure of movement from the web search tools, and you can adapt this activity from numerous points of view! For instance, you can put AdSense promotions, Yahoo advertisements, offshoot program connections, and you can even offer publicizing.
To fabricate your virtual land portfolio, begin with a couple of subjects you like, since it will be less demanding to compose content about it. To begin, you will just need a facilitating account and a space name, you can wrap up yourself! Furthermore, to develop quicker, you can reinvest part of your income into your destinations by outsourcing a portion of the work (content written work, SEO, and so forth). This will enable you to develop your wage exponentially.

The legendary Stutz Bearcat was an American luxury high-performance sports car made by the Stutz Motor Company from 1912 through 1924. The Bearcat evolved from the company's successful 1911 prototype roadster and Indianapolis 500 racer. The Bearcats were essentially a shorter wheelbase, lighter version of the standard Stutz passenger cars chassis. In keeping with racing and sports cars of the era, it featured miminal bodywork consisting of a hood, open bucket seats, a tiny windscreen in front of the driver and a cylindrical fuel tank on a short rear deck. The production Bearcat which is the subject of this model differed from the factory racers by having fenders, lights and a trunk. The Bearcats low weight, balance, and power made it an excellent racer as evidenced in 1912 when Stutz Bearcats won 25 of the 30 auto races they were entered in. In 1915, Erwin Baker drove a stock Bearcat in a record coast-to-coast drive between California and New York in just over eleven days which broke all previous records. This older, out-of-date 1916 Stutz Bearcat is molded in red plastic and includes the following features: 1) Black chassis and fenders; 2) Clear windscreen and light parts; 3) Chrome trim parts; 4) Six rubber tires and 5) Illustrated assembly instructions. Note: the price of this model reflects the fact that it is missing the right hand side of the engine cover which will need to be sourced from the "spares" box. The box is in excellent condition but does have four letters initialed in the upper left hand corner of the box top. Never started and 100% complete except as noted with all parts and instructions inventoried.

Executive Board Recap, Day 1
The IOC Executive Board began its final meeting of the year in Lausanne, Switzerland yesterday.
The EB nominated six candidates - three men and three women - for election as IOC members in Vancouver. The six candidates are as follows:
· HRH Prince Feisal bin Al-Hussein of Jordan: President of the Jordanian Olympic Committee. He was nominated as an individual member.
· Maria de la Soledad Casado Estupiñan of Spain: President of the International Triathlon Union. Her candidature is linked to a function within an International Federation.
· Barry John Maister of New Zealand: Secretary General of the New Zealand Olympic Committee and an Olympic hockey champion. He was nominated as an individual member.
· Dagmawit Girmay Berhane of Ethiopia: Secretary General of the Ethiopian Olympic Committee. Her candidature is linked to a function within a National Olympic Committee.
· Patrick McQuaid of Ireland: President of the International Cycling Union. His candidature is linked to a function within an International Federation.
· Yang Yang of China: An Olympic speed skating champion. She was nominated as an active athlete.
The IOC currently has 112 members, but the number will drop to 108 at the end of 2009 with the expiration of the terms of office of four members: Walther Tröger of Germany, Tamás Aján of Hungary, Zhenliang He of China and Fernando F. Lima Bello of Portugal. The total number of IOC members cannot exceed 115.
The EB approved the IOC budget for 2010 and confirmed that, despite difficult economic circumstances, the IOC is in a very solid financial position, principally owing to an increase of broadcast rights revenues.
The EB granted provisional recognition to the World Transplant Games Federation and full recognition to the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) and the International Cricket Council (ICC). The EB also granted recognition to "Generations for Peace."
The EB approved the change of sporting nationality for Iouri Podladtchikov, who aims to compete at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver in snowboarding. His nationality will change from Russian to Swiss.
On the anti-doping front, the EB agreed to take steps to ensure that host nations' authorities provide their full cooperation and support relating to doping matters, particularly in investigations and procedures regarding athletes' support personnel. The appropriate wording will be included in the Candidature Procedure and Questionnaire and the Host City Contract for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games.
The EB also decided to disqualify rider Andre Hansen (Norway) and his horse from the individual jumping competition and team jumping competition events at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing as a consequence of a positive doping test for a prohibited substance, Capsaicin, in the horse's sample and the subsequent decision by the CAS on 4 December 2009 to dismiss an appeal by Hansen and uphold the decision of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) Tribunal.
The bronze medal for the team jumping, in which the Norwegian team placed third, will be redistributed to Switzerland.
Finally, the IOC reallocated the medals won by Marion Jones at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. For more information, click here.

|Logo of the IOT Cloud Connector library by Espotel.
IOT Cloud Connector leverages the productivity to yet another level by enabling fast and easy integration of smart measurements to power of Bluemix apps. Use of cloud enables collecting data from multiple and different sources, performing advanced analytics, and integrating with any other system.
Smart measurements means not all the raw measurement data is beamed up to the cloud but edge analytics of some sort is performed already in the measurement device itself. Most commonly this means signal processing type of data aggregation providing relevant key indicators for the cloud application. Vibration monitoring is a good example where data is collected at the rate of tens of thousands of measurements per second, and it definitely does not make sense to store each measurement point in cloud but relevant indicators only in order to understand the nature of the given vibration.
Analyze of the measured vibration data gives understanding of the current condition of assets. In some extend it enables predictive maintenance, but the full power of operational optimization is achieved only when the data is combined with other data sources like ERP, Finance, order book, production costs, etc. Cloud is definitely the place to do such advanced analytics, and that's why the IOT Cloud Connector for LabVIEW is needed.
IOT Cloud Connector uses MQTT protocol - the ISO/IEC 20922 standard - to connect any LabVIEW-enabled equipment to IBM Watson IOT Platform and further to Bluemix. The range of equipment covers any PC running most common operating systems; Windows, Linux, or Mac. Also all NI measurement equipment are supported, including compactRIO, Single-board RIO, SOM RIO and myRIO.
|CompactRIO with various interface modules.
User does not need to understand FPGA programming but LabVIEW does that on behalf of user. Custom FPGA programs can be also created with the graphical LabVIEW tool only, with no need to touch the FPGA code. Custom FPGA really does take all the performance out of the hardware, and very fast and complex signal processing can be performed in real-time.
LabVIEW and Bluemix are really the "killer app" combo for industrial condition monitoring.
