Parents and carers
Sir Bernard Lovell Academy takes seriously its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of the children and young people in its care. The welfare and safety of the children in our care is of paramount importance to us and we foster a culture of vigilance among staff, students and parents/carers.
We always listen to children and take their concerns seriously.
Please feel free to contact Mr G Lyle (Designated Safeguarding Lead for Sir Bernard Lovell Academy) or the main switch board if you have any concerns in relation to students being at risk.
The information outlined here aims to provide parents with key information, advice and guidance and includes links to outside agencies and useful reference sites.
Further guidance for parents is available in our policy section or through the following sites:
The internet is always changing, and being able to keep up to date with your children's use of technology can be a challenge, especially if you feel that your children may have better technical skills than you do. However, children and young people still need support and guidance when it comes to managing their lives online and using the internet positively and safely.
Please see our child protection and safeguarding policy (Pdf, 4mb) and for information about our current protocols and procedures or visit Childnet's hot topics for more detailed information on topics such as social networking, online grooming, gaming and downloading.
Key information about social media (Twitter, Facebook and other social media applications)
Twitter and Facebook provide opportunities for students to communicate with friends, family and with new friends/contacts. There are also other applications which are similar to Facebook or Twitter, such as Instagram, designed for those aged 13 plus where children can make immediate connection with contacts (friends, family, aquaintances) using computers, tablets and suitably equipped mobile telephones (e.g. smart phones and iPhones). These sites allow children to view videos, images and text and write messages and to upload their own images (photos) which can be seen by the public or by selected groups depending on the security settings your child (or you) has/have chosen.
Although there are many positive aspects to social media, there are important things for parents to be aware of:
Everything your child writes or uploads will be accessible and available to view depending on the security settings selected by your child. This could involve personal photographs/ images, comments etc.
If a Sir Bernard Lovell Academy student is found to have made an unpleasant remark/comment about another student then they will be sanctioned. If a student makes an inappropriate or unpleasant remark about the school or a member of staff then the student will be sanctioned for this gross lack of respect. Parents/carers will always be involved if we ever have to deal with these issues.
What can parents do to keep their children safe?
A simple and effective way to get involved with your children and their lives online is through discussion. Consider using these conversation starters for parents and carers to get the ball rolling:
Adults can approach your children online in order to make contact with them. Sometimes these adults will pretend to be children in order to build trust. When trust has been established your child may be asked to send a picture or to speak online using a camera or other device. In the worst cases adults can pose as children and arrange to meet in public without you being aware.
Adults and sometimes, other children, have been known to ask children to send indecent images (naked pictures) using Facebook, Twitter or email. To receive these images is a criminal offence for any individual and punishable in law.
We take measures to educate all students about these possibilities through our curriculum but, of course, supervising students outside of school requires parents/carers to make their own arrangements, and for children and young people to make the right choices.
One of the best way to stop this is for parents/carers to carefully monitor activities at home and to never allow children to use computers and electronic devices without appropriate supervision.
Parents/carers must also ensure that all devices have appropriate security settings to make sure that children do not see things that they should not and so that they can be well protected from predatory adults.
Information on sexting and online sexual exploitation
The Lucy Faithful Foundation is the only UK-wide charity focused solely on reducing the risk of children being sexually abused and exploited and as part of their work they offer support for parents whose children have been affected by these issues.
The guide, what's the problem? is aimed at supporting parents whose children have already got into trouble online – helping them to understand what has happened, why and how parents can talk to their children and get further support.
The guide explains to parents:
What can parents do if they have any concerns?
If you have a concern of any kind, please do not 'wait and see' or assume that someone else is dealing with it. Please contact the school immediately or see the sources of additional information below:

Year 11: Revision Evening focussing on English, Maths and Science
Thank you to those of you who were able to attend the revision information evening on Friday 7th February 2019. We looked closely at how to prepare for English, maths and science subjects and the support materials that are available to you. It was great to have you with us and to receive your feedback on the night.
Please see the summary of the advice from the subject leaders and the presentations offered on the night.
Revision advice for parents and carers
Thanks to all parents and carers who came to our revision evening on 8th November. As promised here is the focus on revision presentation (Pdf, 1.7mb) given on the evening.
All students have an organiser, which includes a guide to the school's daily routines and the code of conduct. The times of the school day are as follows:
Breaks and lunchtimes
No students are allowed off site at morning break. You must stay on site at lunchtime unless your parents have signed a consent form for you to go home to lunch and you have a pass. If you have a pass, you should leave the site the promptly and return for the afternoon session on time. Students should go straight home to their own house and not buy food from local shops. Please put all litter in bins.
All students are expected to bring a bag to school each day. This should be suitable to carry all the equipment required for your lessons and large enough to take an A4 ringbinder and books. You should always have writing equipment, (pen, pencil, eraser, ruler etc.) with you, and we recommend that students bring a mini-dictionary. For art lessons, students will need sketchbooks which may have to be purchased from school.
Parents and carers can now pay for school trips and visits with a debit or credit card via the external secure Tucasi online payments website.
Cash and cheque payments will continue to be accepted, but we hope online payments will benefit those who prefer this method of payment.
Access Tucasi online payment system for school visits and cashless catering (canteen)
If you have not yet activated Tucasi account for online payments including the new cashless catering system (canteen), you will need an access code in order to set up your child's account. If you have not received an access code please email firstname.lastname@example.com and one will be issued.
In order to cut down on the number of issues parents and carers are experiencing there are a number of self-help documents to view BEFORE logging in.
The items are in green on the "SCOPay" log-in page and include: Quick Reference Guide including :
Video guide – a short video tutorial showing the process from beginning to end from receiving the link code letter to paying for an item.
Frequently Asked Questions including :
Parents and carers can also re-set their passwords using the "I've forgotten my password" button also found on this page and change their email address using the "I can't verify my email address" button.
These items are accessed BEFORE log-in so if you direct your parents here this will probably help them resolve their queries.
Information about pupils in Wellsway Multi Academy Trust schools and alternative provision
Data Protection Act 1998: How we use pupil information
We collect and hold personal information relating to our pupils and may also receive information about them from their previous school, local authority and/or the Department for Education (DfE). We use this personal data to:
This information will include their contact details, national curriculum assessment results, attendance information, any exclusion information, where they go after they leave us and personal characteristics such as their ethnic group, any special educational needs they may have as well as relevant medical information. For pupils enrolling for post 14 qualifications, the Learning Records Service will give us the unique learner number (ULN) and may also give us details about your learning or qualifications.
Once our pupils reach the age of 13, the law requires us to pass on certain information to the local authority in which the school is located who have responsibilities in relation to the education or training of 13-19 year olds. We may also share certain personal data relating to children aged 16 and over with post-16 education and training providers in order to secure appropriate services for them. A parent/guardian can request that only their child's name, address and date of birth be passed to the local authority by informing the school office / administrator. This right is transferred to the child once he/she reaches the age 16. For more information about services for young people, please visit the relevant local authority website.
We will not give information about our pupils to anyone without your consent unless the law and our policies allow us to do so. If you want to receive a copy of the information about your son/daughter that we hold, please contact the school office / administrator.
We are required, by law, to pass some information about our pupils to the Department for Education (DfE). This information will, in turn, then be made available for use by the local authority.
DfE may also share pupil level personal data that we supply to them, with third parties. This will only take place where legislation allows it to do so and it is in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Decisions on whether DfE releases this personal data to third parties are subject to a robust approval process and are based on a detailed assessment of who is requesting the data, the purpose for which it is required, the level and sensitivity of data requested and the arrangements in place to store and handle the data. To be granted access to pupil level data, requestors must comply with strict terms and conditions covering the confidentiality and handling of data, security arrangements and retention and use of the data.
For more information on how this sharing process works, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-pupil-database-apply-for-a-data-extract
For information on which third party organisations (and for which project) pupil level data has been provided to, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-pupil-database-requests-received
If you need more information about how the DfE collect and use your information, please visit:
At SBL we run lots of after school clubs to suit a variety of interests. All after school clubs are an hour long. Please make sure you inform your parent(s)/carer if you are attending an after school session.
We are currently in the process of updating our extra-curricular activities for 2016/17 and will be publishing a new timetable shortly.

The progression from primary school to the secondary setting is a big step and an exciting challenge for students. At Sir Bernard Lovell Academy, we work closely with all of our local primary schools and with parents/carers to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible and that every student settles into the academy quickly.
We hope that your child is looking forward to the next stage in their educational journey.
The information below outlines the steps in the transition process.
Key dates
From time to time it may be necessary for students to complete work at home, this could be due to long term sickness or severe weather conditions.
The regularly updated subject links allow students to download subject specific tasks that will be relevant to their work.
This work is in addition to any homework set by classroom teachers, homework can be found by using the Insight link.
If you would like any completed work marked, please pass it to school reception who will distribute it to the relevant classroom teachers.
Severe weather conditions
Severe weather conditions before departure for school (if for example, there is a heavy fall of snow during the night, the following arrangements will apply).
Severe or deteriorating weather conditions during the day (i.e. after students have arrived at school).
With our students' safety in mind we shall keep a constant check on road condition reports and weather forecasts. If conditions worsen during the day or if bus operators advise on an early departure, it would normally be our policy:
It is absolutely essential that you give your child clear instructions now for use in this kind of emergency. Make sure they have up-to-date telephone numbers and that they know how to contact you or some other responsible person. Ensure, also, that your child can get into the house in your absence.

News - 07.11.12
Neil Martin presented his report "Making Malbec on the Moonscape: Argentina 2012"
Neal Martin gives his opinion on Argentina's wines and wine industry.
Neal Martin, Top Writer for The Wine Advocate, who visited Argentina in July 2012, published his report on Argentina. During his visit, he tasted some 1,400 wines and scored a total of 940, which means that around 70% of the tasted wines obtained a score. Out of this 70%, 20% obtained 90+ points.
In his report "Making Malbec on the Moonscape: Argentina 2012", Neal Martin writes that "unlike Chile, [Argentine] producers were blessed with a domestic market where wine was a part of every meal and everyday life."
He says that he regards Malbec as an excellent grape variety and that during his stay in Argentina, he learned how well Malbec marries with other grape varieties. He maintains, for example, that Bonarda brings out the best in Malbec, and vice versa. "I see Malbec as the bedrock à la Cabernet Sauvignon and Bonarda as its blending partner à la Merlot." He points out that Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon blends are also impressive.
" I see MALBEC as a perfect foundation that could eventually lead to something even greater.(...) the modern Argentinean wine industry is only just finishing its first chapter."
He further states that the modern Argentinean wine industry is only just finishing its first chapter and that, although Argentina is a region that is almost startled by the success that Malbec has brought it, it could eventually become something even greater, for which it is necessary to start innovating. "If Argentina can innovate, as I believe it is beginning to, in particular thanks to a new younger generation of open-minded and more peripatetic winemakers who are co-operating with each other and exchanging information, then the possibilities are as boundless as their dreams."
" Argentine producers were blessed
with a DOMESTIC MARKET
where WINE was a part
of every meal and everyday life. "

Eastern Carpenter Bee
A gentle giant, the Eastern Carpenter Bee – Xylocopa virginica, is native to the eastern U.S. and is an important pollinator to a variety of plants.
A gentle giant, the Eastern Carpenter Bee – Xylocopa virginica, is native to the eastern U.S. and is an important pollinator to a variety of plants.
New England Aster -Symphyotrichum novae-angliae is a wonderful native perennial for late summer color and is an excellent food & foraging source for late season bees and migrating Monarch butterflies ✿
Planting native flowering plants & grasses in the garden and/or landscape, will improve native pollinator populations by providing this necessary food and forage ✿
This species -Polistes dominulus is native to the Mediterranean. The European paper wasp was discovered in the eastern U.S. in the late 1970s and has rapidly increased throughout the United States.
The Western Honey Bee -Apis mellifera has both summer and winter workers. Winter honey bees emerge from eggs laid at the end of summer…
Pollinators are important for a healthy ecosystem & critical to many food crops, but are often lacking in urban gardens & landscapes ✿
In conjunction with National Pollinator Week, Michigan recently adopted their own resolution to proclaim Michigan Pollinator Week.
Research indicates that flies may contribute significantly to pollination of North American flowers and many food plants.
Tachinid flies are amongst the largest families of true flies with approximately 8,000 species world wide… These beneficial flies play an important role in suppressing populations of destructive timber and agricultural pests.
Beetles were among one of the first order of insects to pollinate flowers and still play an important role in pollination today.
Don't underestimate the impact of the honeybee. -read this article by Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary on the process of pollination by honeybees.

Though it doesn't get as much traffic as it used to, I still maintain the forum for the Fish Junkies website. Somehow folks seem to miss the note about not emailing me for help...! so I decided to make use of a handy form folks can use without having to go through forum sign-up just to ask me a question. That way I can funnel everything into forum posts myself so I can keep track of them. :D And so the answers can benefit others as well. Along with the website info, the forum posts still get a lot of internet search hits so it's better utilized this way.

I am such a naughty secretary I tease you in my short little skirts high heels and round ass ass day long. The day comes when I want a raise and I am willing to do anything to get it.
Pound Me Hard
I love to be pinned underneath you and pounded hard and deep. Put my legs up in the air and let me feel every inch of your hot hard cock. Then blow that load deep inside me mixing our juices all together. Come fuck me hard.

Do You Bounce Back After Challenges? Resiliency Is A Good Thing!
This is one of the Healthiest Manners to deal with Concerns
In ecology, resilience is the animal's ability to respond to trepidation or turbulences by resisting damage or recovering quickly. The most resilient animal is called a water-bear or Tardigrades. This animal can survive being frozen or boiled, and live over 150 years. Amazing isn't? Bacteria have the least resilience as it can be eliminated quickly.
Animals are fascinating. In this short article, I will give you a brief explanation of this powerful skill and how you can use it to live a healthier life. Read about animals as they have a lot to teach us. Share in your knowledge. Develop this amazing skill and be well – read my articles and send me an e-mail. I love company!
On the Road Again…to Resilience
This is one of my favorite definitions of resilience
"Resiliency is the ability to overcome challenges of all kinds–trauma, tragedy, personal crises, plain 'ole' life problems–and bounce back stronger, wiser, and more personally powerful."
Pain, headache, traumas, are a normal part of our lives. Once the situation manifests itself we have choices in the way we respond. Let me give you an example. Tardigrades have a kind of behavioral/physiological adaptation. This is a key factor in the resiliency they demonstrate when under attack. Pains and traumas are attacks on the well-being. At the point of attack we can either succumb to the attack or attempt to find a way out. For example, bacteria given the right amount of antibiotics will flip out and be all confused. Again, it does not have the sophisticated level of behavioral adaptation practiced by the Tardigrades.
My dog likes to play deaf when she gets in trouble. Her way to make amends is to wag her tail and walk slowly and lick my leg – I guess this can be seen as a type of resiliency in my four legged fuzzy buddy: Apologize little dog or no food! (Just kidding.)
Now as the Tardigrades have this behavioral and physiological adaptation inherent to them, I believe that we humans do also. In fact, part of my thesis states that resiliency allows us to lift the spirit up while providing a healthy system to deter mental anguish, illnesses, and the overall spiritual suffering which might come from daily living.
The difference between us and the Tardigrades is the automatic reaction. We do not automatically take out the magnificent weapon, Resiliency. We need practice. We have it stored inside our being, but we need to take it out and begin to use it. It would do you wonders!
Why Is Resiliency Important To Our Well Being?
Resilience is a pathway to adjust our emotions. This is so because through resilience we are lead mentally and spiritually to an awareness of our emotions, which relieves stress and pain from our being.
Resilience is a pathway to seek solutions. This is so because through resilience we are obliged to seek a course of action.
Resilience is a pathway to gain positive energy. This is so because one is compelled to practice self-control and find the least aggressive and most positive solution to a concern.
Resilience is a path to consider past experiences under a new light, which give us the ability to let go of hurts, forgive, and consider wellness.
Well, I am trying not to make my articles as lengthy! Though I must said they are excellent, I do not want to lose you – make yourself a cup of java, tea, or make one of my healthy juices and please take a couple minutes to send me an e-mail.
Second Part Next Week – I know, you can hardly wait! 😆

The last issue of The Seagull Love Review SOLD OUT. That's right, not a copy was left in the basement at TSLR Towers. I think that's a first; I could be wrong and I'm not arsed enough to ask Sam & Stef if it is, but even if it isn't – thanks to all Albionites who dug out a Great British Pound for their own copy of our (and it seems your) favourite fanzine.
Issue number 41 is at the printers now and will be on sale at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night at Falmer. Grab hold of one of the snot-nosed little pocket dippers who are doing such a good job of firstly giving TSLR a more prominent profile around the ground, and secondly selling it. It keeps them from twocking cars and robbing houses, everyone's a winner.
As the fanzine is becoming more established (in a synchronous relationship with the club itself), TSLR HQ have decided to introduce MERCHANDISE to the 20,000 of you who now fill the stands at our magnificent new home. Check the TSLR online shoppe and their excellent blog for more details.
I'm still contributing to the fanzine, which is increasingly harder to do as I haven't been home for a competitive game since April; but I will be around later this month and next, and will be able to fully rate my new seat view from the East Stand Upper. Oh, and I'm off to Genoa in two weeks to watch Sampdoria v Torino in Serie A, so that will get a write up for issue 42, God willing.
Thanks to everyone who continues to buy The Seagull Love Review, give yourselves a great big group hug.

When I was opening my abilities, I started mostly, by teaching myself and reading about 1,000 books and blogs on the topic of spiritual opening and awakening.
Though I had gone pretty far on my own - there's only so much I could teach myself before I could only advance on my path by reaching out - and learning from others and meeting friends on my journey.
After I went as far as I could training and learning solo, I started registering for classes and began admitting to others, even in my own circles, I was doing what I was doing - I was surprised. People started coming out of the woodwork to share with me their spiritual experiences. In opening up to connecting with Spirit, and in turn, connecting with others. I learned I wasn't alone and advanced my abilities to connect with Spirit. That alone, was rewarding and so validating on my path - and it wasn't even in the course outline!
Working with others to develop your gifts has so many benefits, even if they may not be included in the written curriculum.
10 Benefits of Psychic Mediumship Training Programs
1. Learn how Spirit Uniquely Connects with You
When learning mediumship on your own, you may be learning how spirit connects, in general, broad spectrum, with most people. In a training program, you'll be able to hone in on your specific way that Spirit and you work together to develop your natural strengths and bring out your secondary and tertiary abilities. We each connect in a very special way with Spirit - including me and you.
A mediumship training program honors this ability and teaches you how to maximize it for yourself and others.
2. Learn how to turn up, tune in and manage your abilities
Whether or abilities are out of control, or you are receiving information here and there, or if what you are getting comes an goes from Spirit - in a mediumship training program, you'll learn how to fine tune and precisely turn that dial to the 'right' channel and frequency of connecting with Spirit. You'll learn how to position your antennae and Spirit to get the best 'channels' and information and turn it off all-together when you'd rather relax with a margarita and pamper your own Spirit.
3. Learn how to connect with your personal guides, angels and loved ones
Mediumship isn't just about connecting with Spirit for other people to bring through their loved ones and angels, it's also about learning how to connect with Spirit for yourself and for your own benefit. One of the best parts of developing mediumship is having immediate access to the Spiritual Realm - no matter who it is you want to connect with or for!
4. Access Spiritual Guidance on-Demand
When you develop your abilities to connect with Spirit, you'll have the ability to get information from the Spiritual realm whenever you are personally in need of guidance. While it's always important to maintain healthy boundaries, developing a relationship with Spirit is almost like having a side-line coach - always available to you for questions about the next play in the game!
5. Connect with like minded folks in a supportive non-judgmental atmosphere
One of the number one things I hear from people who contact me about mediumship, is that they always felt like they were the different one and that they wish had more friends who understood them in their area. In a mediumship training program, you'll connect with people just like you, who are looking to understand, manage and develop their unique abilities to help others. It's refreshing to have found your tribe, sometimes!
From a place of understanding, we learn to connect and explore that connection with Spirit together.
6. Learn how to use your abilities to help others
Connecting with Spirit for others is incredibly validating and personally rewarding. When bringing through guidance from Guides, Angels and Loved Ones to your friends, family and even clients, you are often thanked and validated - people often walk away feeling better, relieved and even personally lifted in their Spirit. Giving the gift of Spirit is like a flower that never stops blooming. Always rewarding and offering beauty.
7. Learn how to cultivate financial abundance with your abilities
Delivering messages from Spirit is a valuable trait - and a lot like having a cartoon of truffle chocolates. While you can most certainly give away truffles for free to everyone you know and love for any reason, you can also exchange value for your abilities to connect with Spirit. It takes training, practice and commitment - just like any profession. And in a mediumship training program, you can learn how to make your gifts work for you and provide you with abundance and resources.
8.Figure out 'what's been going on with you' once and for all
You aren't alone in your experiences, and there are perfectly understandable explanations for what's been happening on your Spiritual journey. In a mediumship training program, you'll learn about many of the things you've been experiencing that will help put some of the puzzle pieces together. Light bulbs of understanding and connection will happen. Your experiences will begin to make even more sense than they did before.
And remember, your experiences are more normal than you may think! In fact, my post, "21 signs you're a medium" is one of the most popular on the blog!
9. Receive validation and affirmation on your life path the work you've already been doing with Spirit
In a mediumship training program, you'll have opportunities to practice your abilities on other students and other people in the real world. In these practice sessions, you'll receive feedback and validation on the wonderful evidence and information you are capable of providing to others. You'll learn not that you were making it all up, but rather, that your perceptions and receptions from Spirit are validating for yourself and others.
10. Make new friends
One of the coolest and most rewarding parts of program, aside from the development and understanding of your gift, and learning to deepen your connection to Spirit - is in the ability to develop and unfold with support, guidance and validation from your peers and mentors. In a mediumship training program, you'll be reaching out not only to connect with Spirit, but with those who also share your belief and value systems.
These are the benefits of learning how to connect to Spirit in a class or training program.

KnoxBUG Roadmap for 2018
KnoxBUG kicked things off in 2018 with our "Happy True Year" TrueOS install fest event. It was a nice informal gathering with drinks,pizza and a great turnout. There was much tinkering and laughing. As most of us do at the beginning of a new year, we also took time to reflect on the past year and make plans for how to make this new year even better.
One of the things we discussed was a change in format. While most of our attendees have been people with a lot of BSD / Unix / FOSS experience, we've also had a few people that are completely new to the open source world. Our talks have all been great but have mainly catered towards expert FOSS users. We want to change that approach.

"I was just really honored to be nominated," Ty Burrell told Vanity Fair at the second annual Comedy Awards ceremony on Saturday, where he won for best performance by a TV actor for his role as Phil Dunphy on Modern Family. We noted that while we were at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, some of his Modern Family castmates—including Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet, Sofía Vergara, and Julie Bowen—were in D.C. that very moment, partaking in the White House Correspondents' Dinner festivities and the Vanity Fair/Bloomberg after-party. "Yes," Burrell said. "And they actually went to the White House today and hung out with the Obamas," he added with a grimace.
But no remorse. "I had already made these plans, and I have friends here," Burrell said. Besides, he didn't have to shave his newly sprouted facial hair, which he says is just the result of lax grooming while on hiatus from shooting the hit series—even though he's doing a movie. "I wish that I could say that [the beard] is for the film, but the film is animated, so they don't care what I look like," he told us.
Burrell may as well work during his downtime, anyway, because he's not very good at hobbies. "I like to do a lot of different things, but I'm not good at anything. I'm a true dilettante," he said. "I love to fish, I love to cook, but if you ask any of my friends, like, I'm a horrible cook. I never catch fish."
Robin Williams, who was honored as a stand-up icon at the ceremony, revealed his passion for a less participatory pastime. "I collect military miniatures. I've never talked about that before," he told us. His collection includes different types, such as painted St. Petersburg miniatures. "There must be some blind Russian woman who went blind doing these little, tiny Louis XIV miniatures," Williams said. "They're wonderful. And I send them to Jonathan Winters, so we share that." The comic didn't specify how many he has, but says he avoids bidding at auctions. "[If] I'm bidding, then we'll get into Hoarders."
It was when he made fun of a teacher in a high-school play that Williams first realized he had a gift for comedy. "I had a particular teacher who I think took a lot of acid and taught history, because we had a group hug for the Civil War. I kind of did a great impression of him, and that was the first time I was, like, Hmm, this works," he said.
Since then, Williams has done movies, television, Broadway, and stand-up, and he recalled an unnerving experience when he first met Laurence Olivier. "It was before presenting at the Oscars, and he was in the audience, and they said to come meet him," Williams explained. "And I went, 'Hello, Mr. Olivier.' And he said, 'Hello.' And he went, 'Are you wearing makeup?' And I went, 'Yes.' So he said, 'Don't. It makes you look effeminate,'" Williams said, laughing.
Don Rickles was also honored at the Comedy Awards, which air May 6 on Comedy Central and feature Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Will Arnett, Jim Carrey, Ed Helms, Matthew Perry, Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Robert De Niro, and Kristen Wiig.

History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Summary from GoodReads
When Griffin's first love and ex-boyfriend, Theo, dies in a drowning accident, his universe implodes. Even though Theo had moved to California for college and started seeing Jackson, Griffin never doubted Theo would come back to him when the time was right. But now, the future he's been imagining for himself has gone far off course.
To make things worse, the only person who truly understands his heartache is Jackson. But no matter how much they open up to each other, Griffin's downward spiral continues. He's losing himself in his obsessive compulsions and destructive choices, and the secrets he's been keeping are tearing him apart.
If Griffin is ever to rebuild his future, he must first confront his history, every last heartbreaking piece in the puzzle of his life.
I knew that reading this book would bring me to tears. Bu I never expected to laugh. "History is All you've left me" is a story of first love and relationship; of grief and the long way you must take after losing your loved one.
For Griffin, who also has OCD, this is a horrible play from the universe. Since losing Theo he can't find a way to reason with everything, until Jackson, Theo's boyfriend. Together they'll try to find reason behind their grief and try to move on with tiny steps every day.
The funny part with this book was the alternative timelines: we move back and forth, from the moment Griffin and Theo become a couple to the events after. One chapter makes you laugh hard, like the scene with the boys and Griffin's father in the store, and the next makes you cry like a baby. Another part I liked in this book was how supportive both families were to their sons, who despite having already aknowledged their sexuality, their parents wants them to be happy; a contrast to Adam Silvera's first book.
There's nothing cheerful in the ending, only a bittersweet feeling that everything will be well and Griffin will slowly move on. But still, this book was one of the most emotional I've read so far. I don't know if I'll survive Adam's next book, "They both Die in the End", though.
About the author:
Adam Silvera was born and raised in the Bronx. He has worked in the publishing industry as a children's bookseller, marketing assistant at a literary development company, and book reviewer of children's and young adult novels. His debut novel, More Happy Than Not, received multiple starred reviews and is a New York Times bestseller, and Adam was selected as a Publishers Weekly Flying Start. He writes full-time in New York City and is tall for no reason.

It seems to me that I grow most in my walk with Christ when I am eating crow.
Having to sit back, recognize that I have made a mistake, that I need to seek forgiveness and repentance… its humbling. (to say the least)
This poem comes to mind:
Those last three lines are pretty powerful.
Tonight I am thankful for His forgiveness.

I have copied a recipe from my previous BIAB calculator into beersmith and have created a profile for the 50l BM.
when I click on the brew steps icon the page gives me a step of filling mash tun with 10.98 litres and then fly sparging after mash.
now obviously with the BM you are working like BIAB so where do I tell the software this fact (i assume somewhere within the profile needs changing).
also the recipe only gives pre boil volumes not pre mash volumes although the brew steps includes all volumes.I am new to beersmith having only used BIAbacus and brewmate software before

Shopping for A Home? Take into account The Sun
Cat timber, condos, and scratching posts may be among the most costly items you'll ever purchase for your cat, but they actually enrich the lives of our feline friends. The fall of 2006 was absolutely a bizzy and demanding time for Columbia educated Miz Peet and Mister Benioff who discovered they had been preggers, unwed (however affianced), and living up in a 2 bed room house that may not easily accommodate a nanny, to not mention the in-legal guidelines on the town to visit the unexpected bundle of joy. They can not get a judgment for the full $40k difference between the precise sale worth and what was owed. Tiny Home City presently makes use of ads from a third-occasion advertising website in addition to occasional affiliate hyperlinks.
I have a number of ideas about how one can cure the housing scarcity, and most of them revolve round restoring MIRAS for first time patrons, and implementing lease caps to discourage amateur buy-to-letters thus lowering the burden on native councils who often have to pay extraordinary and extortionate rents for social housing out of the general public purse.
Dumfries, nevertheless, has a range of budget-priced homes obtainable, and in January 2017 RightMove was itemizing a number of three-bed room houses with guide costs (offering prices) from £55,000 to £sixty five,000 on the market in this space. As I've told the House Democratic leadership, discover me all of the liberal seats we have to win across the nation to take back the Home. Brad had 5 presents from the likes of Nevada, Illinois, Navy, Rutgers and Michigan.
Mum recalled about five of us coming back to our house as soon as and he or she popped her head spherical my bedroom door to see if we needed a cup of tea, solely to seek out us all quick asleep on the bed and on my bed settee! Julia on the motorway services after Amnesia House with some buddies we might met from Barnsley. When the demon tries to abduct the remaining Freeling children, caskets of long-lifeless cadavers pop from the ground throughout the neighborhood, after which the Freeling house implodes into another universe. In the event that they get the foreclosures process underway now, they may be capable to sell the house sooner and there will be much less probability of it being vandalized before they will promote it. I bear in mind on one occasion, Mandie, Carol, Julia and I had gone to a party at someone's house after clubbing.
Maybe the kitchen in the home you need to purchase faces that beautiful sunrise and has a tree outside strategically placed to stop the blinding rays, however lets the softer morning rays filter by way of. I do not know what it is actually price, but unless about eighty,000 square feet of it is underground, there is no method this house is 10,000 sq. meters, which, as was mentioned above, is over 100,000 sq. ft. It could be greatest to wait till the divorce is ultimate to do anything with the home.

News that prominent conservatives Art Pope and Bob Luddy gave a combined $38,000 to elect four members of the new Gang of Five majority on the Wake County Board of Education is not much of a surprise. An email to Chair Ron Margiotta this fall from a Republican activist said that Art Pope's plan to get them elected worked very well.
Pope is the major funder of right-wing think tanks and advocacy groups in North Carolina that want to destroy public education with vouchers and privatization. Luddy runs a private school and is a prominent board member of the Locke Foundation. He is an outspoken advocate for vouchers and tax credits for private academies.
But the Gang of Five that Pope and Luddy paid to elect has run into yet another sobering dose of reality in the first phase of its ideological crusade, to resegregate the schools by ending the system's economic diversity policy in student assignment.
This time it's a report from the Wake Education Partnership, a business group that supports the current direction of the public schools, that shows what would happen if every student in Wake County were assigned to the school closest to them, a stated goal of the Gang of Five.
Margiotta told the News & Observer that he couldn't understand why his grandson couldn't go to the closest school. The Partnership's study explains it.
The report finds that as many two dozen school buildings would have 50 percent more students than they can handle. Another two dozen would only be half full. And the student bodies would look much different in a pure neighborhood system that ignored economic diversity as a consideration.
Fifteen schools would have more than two of every three students eligible for free or reduced lunch, which also means they are almost guaranteed to be overwhelmingly African-American. Twenty-seven schools would have less than ten percent poor kids, which would make their student bodies almost all white.
The plan would also destroy the current magnet system, though that doesn't seem to bother Gang of Fiver John Tedesco, whose rich zone, poor zone assignment scheme would also dismantle the current magnet program and create at least 10 poor and mostly African-American schools.
Tedesco and the other Gang of Fivers used to claim that they had no intention of resegregating the schools as they overturned Wake Schools' national recognized diversity program. But reality has forced Tedesco to openly admit it would do just that.
Tedesco is running into another problem too. One of the members of the Gang of Five, Debra Goldman, isn't too wild about Tedesco's plan and has said so publicly. Goldman also broke with the members of the new majority on a vote about assignments to year-round schools. Maybe it's now the Gang of Four and a Half.
It appears the pressure to getting to Tedesco. He responded to an N&O blog post about the Partnership report by calling it hogwash and "fairy tale hysteria" chastising the group's staff for sitting in their office and "waxing philosophical lies."
The folks at the partnership are not waxing about anything, they are merely providing the community with information about what would happen if schools were assigned by proximity, which is what the resolution that Tedesco and his fellow Gang of Fivers voted for at the first board meeting at which they were in the majority.
It is hard to see how that is a lie, an especially odd charge coming from a board member who said he didn't want to resegregate the schools and presents a plan that he admits resegregates many of them. Tedesco must have drawn that plan up in his office, when he was "waxing misleading."
And it is interesting that Tedesco couldn't find the time in his rant to mention the results of a recent parent survey that found that 94.5 percent of the parents in Wake County are satisfied with their child's school.
The Partnership's report is merely a useful tool for the board the community to use in the debate. It is not the authors' fault that the study exposes the disingenuousness of the Gang of Five's claims that the system needs the stability of what they call neighborhood schools.
They simply won't work logistically without resegregated schools and more school construction given Wake County's growth. Those are the facts, whether Tedesco wants to admit it or not.
Pope and Luddy may be able to buy an election but their money can't change reality. The more the plans of their Gang of Five are scrutinized, the more absurd they seem. Hogwash doesn't begin to describe it.

Summer in the City 2014
8 August - 20 September 2014
Tjorg Douglas Beer, Niels Bonde, Elina Brotherus, Jesper Carlsen, Berta Fischer, Nicolai Howalt, Astrid Kruse Jensen, Eva Koch, Martin Liebscher, Søren Martinsen, Paul McDevitt, Sofie Bird Møller, Cornelius Quabeck, Hans Hamid Rasmussen, Maria Rubinke, Matt Saunders, Lisa Strömbeck, Trine Søndergaard, Ebbe Stub Wittrup, Clare Woods, Peter Bonde, Jesper Skov Madsen, Jan S. Hansen
Martin Asbæk Gallery is proud to present for the 9th time the annual group show Summer in the City, with gallery artists and this year three special invited Danish artists. The established Danish artist Peter Bonde presents a new painting with oil on mirror foil. The young upcoming artist Jesper Skov Madsen approaches the canvas with a powerful expressiveness and creates works in oil, acrylic, pigments and pen on canvas.

SAN FRANCISCO/CHICAGO ( Reuters) - Russell Wasendorf Jr., whose father went to prison for stealing $215 million from clients of the futures brokerage they ran together for nearly 20 years, is starting over.
The chief operating officer of Peregrine Financial Group, which collapsed in 2012 in an embezzlement scheme orchestrated by his father, has moved to Florida from the firm's home base of Cedar Falls, Iowa. He is out of the futures business entirely and has launched an e-commerce website.
In his first interview since Peregrine Financial's demise, Wasendorf Jr. said he has rejected offers to consult on futures and currency trading, his area of focus at the firm. According to records from the National Futures Association, he withdrew the last of his futures industry registrations just last week.
"I really want to just try to move on," Wasendorf Jr. told Reuters. "I don't have any real desire at this point to go back into that side of the business. I've been burnt awfully badly after spending 25 years of my life there."
Last July, Peregrine Financial's founder and chief executive, Russell Wasendorf Sr., botched a suicide attempt at the firm's Cedar Falls headquarters. Before snaking a hose from the tailpipe of his car into the vehicle, he left a confession of his crimes along with a note begging his "wonderful son" for forgiveness.
Wasendorf Sr. was arrested and later pleaded guilty to embezzling his clients' money, and the firm filed for bankruptcy.
Wasendorf Jr. said he has not forgiven his father.
"As far as I am concerned, he died that day," he said.
Wasendorf Sr., 65, in February began serving what is expected to be a life sentence in a high-security federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. At the time, his pastor said he was in poor health. He has not responded to a letter from Reuters requesting an interview.
Most of the firm's 24,000 customers have received back only about a third of the money they had in accounts at Peregrine Financial and are not expected to be made whole. The implosion shook investor confidence in the U.S. futures industry, already hurt by the failure of the larger MF Global less than a year earlier.
Wasendorf Sr. used little more than a rented post office box, Photoshop and inkjet printers to fake bank statements and hide money from regulators for years, according to his confession and statements from federal investigators.
He doctored the bank statements to show that accounts held more money than they actually did, while using clients' money to keep the company afloat and fund a lavish lifestyle.
U.S. prosecutors said at Wasendorf Sr.'s sentencing earlier this year that the government did not anticipate filing further criminal charges relating to Peregrine Financial. But his son is facing a civil lawsuit that says he is partly responsible for the firm's collapse.
Wasendorf Jr., who turns 43 this month, also was president of the firm and oversaw day-to-day operations. In the interview, he denied any knowledge of or involvement in his father's scam.
"There's obviously plenty of reasons why he would have never told me about this, because I'd have never forgiven it," he said, his voice cracking.
That hasn't kept others from wondering.
Dan Roth, who heads the National Futures Association, said last fall that the sheer volume of documents that needed to be doctored to keep up the fraud suggests the father had help.
Contacted on Tuesday by Reuters, Roth said he stood by his comments and had nothing further to add.
No suspected accomplice has yet surfaced.
Wasendorf Jr. moved his family to Orlando, Florida, after the scandal and in April began an online service, Orange Tree Deals, aimed at giving entrepreneurs and neighbors a way to sell goods to one another, or even give them away for free.
The site requires buyers and sellers to register to use the site, making it more transparent, in his view, than an anonymous marketplace like Craigslist, Wasendorf said. He hopes entrepreneurs eventually use the site as a virtual storefront, so he can charge a commission on their sales.
On Wednesday, the site carried listings for products including a wine refrigerator, chandelier and penguin Halloween costume.
Attain Capital Management, a trading firm that saw its business drop 80 percent and had to lay off employees after it lost money when Peregrine Financial failed, believes Wasendorf Jr. did not know about his father's crimes, according to a blog post on its website.
"We truly wish him the best of luck," Attain said, referring to Wasendorf Jr.'s new venture.
Chief Executive Jeff Malec declined to elaborate on the post.
Thirteen former Peregrine Financial customers are suing Wasendorf Jr., his father, U.S. Bancorp and JPMorgan Chase & Co in federal court in Chicago.
The lawsuit, which seeks status as a class action on behalf of all of Peregrine Financial's former clients, accuses the father of fraud; the son of helping him; and the banks, which held money for the firm, of facilitating the entire enterprise.
"As a direct and proximate consequence of the conduct of Wasendorf and Wasendorf Jr.," customers of Peregrine Financial, or PFG, "have lost a significant portion of the money, securities, and property they paid and delivered to PFG," the complaint read.
The banks are fighting the lawsuit and say they did nothing wrong.
The son is fighting, too, but says he does not have the money to pay for a long legal battle, let alone to make up for clients' massive losses. He said he is on the verge of bankruptcy because of the cost of defending himself.
Wasendorf said he felt betrayed by his father and did not plan to visit him in jail.
"Maybe someday I'll forgive it, but not right now," Wasendorf Jr. said. "It caused way too much damage to my family, to myself."

Before hip-hop became a musical genre, it was a form of expression — and an escape — for its early creators in the Bronx.
Now some of those elders of the genre want to underscore its Bronx roots by opening a hip-hop museum inside the Kingsbridge Armory, a long-empty fortress that is being redeveloped into a national ice sports center. The museum — to be called the Universal Hip Hop Museum — would utilize interactive technology to provide a comprehensive look at hip-hop, including its historical and cultural roots and the contributions of break dancers and disc jockeys, according to museum organizers.
"Many people have a misconception of what hip-hop is," said Afrika Bambaataa, who is often called the godfather of hip-hop and will serve as the museum's chairman. "When they say hip-hop, they only say it's the rapper, and there's a whole culture and movement behind it."
The plan for the museum was announced by a group of hip-hop artists and their supporters at a news conference in front of City Hall on Wednesday after a City Council ceremony inside to honor the achievements of Mr. Bambaataa and other early hip-hop pioneers, including Grandmaster Melle Mel, Grandmaster Caz and Grand Wizard Theodore. The new museum, which is still being developed, is the latest in a line of efforts to honor hip-hop that date back to at least the mid-1990s.

On the eve of the beginning of jury selection in New York, it was reported yesterday that Royal Dutch Shell settled the law suit brought against it by the son of Nigerian activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and the families of the other activists killed with him. The plaintiffs alleged that Shell officials helped furnish Nigerian police with weapons, participated in security sweeps of the area, and hired government troops that shot at villagers protesting the construction of a pipeline. Moreover, that Shell helped the government capture and hang Saro-Wiwa, John Kpuinen, Saturday Doobee, Felix Nuate, Daniel Gbokoo and Dr. Barinem Kiobel on Nov. 10, 1995.
Throughout the fourteen years of litigation Shell denied any involvement in the human rights abuses committed by the Nigerian government but Malcolm Brinded, Shell's executive director of exploration and production said that the settlement was a step towards reconciliation."This gesture also acknowledges that, even though Shell had no part in the violence that took place, the plaintiffs and others have suffered,"
The Wiwa family was represented by Jenny Green of the Center for Constitutional Rights. Green said the settlment send a a message to other multinationals that operate in developing countries,"You can't commit human rights violations as a part of doing business," she said. "A corporation can't act with impunity. And we think there is accountability in this settlement."
As we indicated in an earlier blog, this case was filed under the Alien Torts Claims Act. It is not yet possible to get a criminal case for violation of humanitarian law in an international forum. But the case against Shell was a significant milestone is accountability for corporations and their obligations to comply with human rights standards.
In addition to the settlement, Shell will pay lawyers fees for the plaintiffs. One third of the settlement will be placed in a trust fund to be used on community development projects for the Ogoniland region, which is Shell operated and where Saro-Wiwa and the others lived.

A new group of drugs could treat incurable skin cancer, a recent study shows. Clinical trials to test the new drugs could begin in 2015. The current available treatments, which target a cancer-causing protein known as BRAF that instigate about 50 percent of melanomas, are initially highly effective. However, the cancer builds resistance to these drugs in a year.
The new drugs, which are known as panRAF inhibitors, could be useful for patients with melanoma who have become resistant to BRAF inhibitors. Researchers at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute and The Institute of Cancer Research, London, found that the new drugs halted the growth of BRAF-instigated melanomas, which include melanomas that no longer responded to the current drugs that target BRAF.
In addition, the new drugs eliminated tumor growth for cancers in which BRAF-targeted drugs never worked at all. The researchers said that the new treatment attacks cancer without any possibility of drug resistance and can simultaneously block several cancer proteins. They added that the new drugs are more effective than the current available treatments in that they target a number of "cell survival routes" at the same time. The researchers hope that the new drugs will provide much-needed treatment for patients who have no other options.
