The College's preferred supplier for furniture over the years has been Rapid Office as they have helped create and maintain a corporate image for the College that we're very much proud of. Having this pre-established working relationship with the company made them the natural choice to help with the design and supply of furniture for the area.
I do not usually send reviews to companies but as I was very impressed with Rapid Office I would like to say how professional they were from start to finish. They were informative and even helped me pick the type of colour for our desks and chairs to match our newly refurbished office.
They explained everything in detail. After discussing everything with them they came back with various plans for me with the layout of my office. Not forgetting the installation team who worked around us with patience and professionalism.
Thank you to Bill as well he was marvellous and knew exactly what would look good and it does.
Lastly but not least I wanted to mention to you the Rapid Office installation team. They did a fantastic job for us over the weekend and in double quick time.
It was really good to see them in action.
We contracted Rapid Office to design/supply and install our new reception area, boardroom and meeting room at our London Headquarters. Rapid Office were easy to deal with, they delivered under budget and on time. We would recommend them.
Thanks to all the team at Rapid Office for the seamless installation/refurbishment work carried out to our conference room. We are delighted with the results, both with the quality of the furniture and the execution of the associated installation.
Throughout the project Rapid Office kept us abreast of milestones, understood and accommodated all change requests completed the installation within the time frame with little if any fuss.
We commissioned Rapid Office to work in partnership designing our Main Boardroom table in our Head office facility at Chiswick Park.
Following on from this successful installation and having been delighted with their work, we now work extensively with Rapid, with them providing services and products to all areas within our organisation.
We have had the pleasure of working very closely with Gary and his team at Rapid Office for many years. They regard our company as an important partner, not just a supplier.
Earlier in 2013 we worked very closely with the design and project team at Rapid on the new and prestigious head quarters for AMEC in the city of London. We are delighted to confirm that the project was a total success.
We look forward to continuing this excellent relationship; they are a genuine pleasure to work with.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us with the furniture for our
new school.
Your plan drawings have been very useful and helped us. All the delivery and installation team have been mindful that they are working within a school environment and have made sure that they have conducted themselves appropriately at all times and have worked around the school/staff timetable with due diligence.
I would not hesitate in recommending Rapid Office to other projects.
We were looking to achieve a fresh dynamic office environment one that represents the style of our organisation, one our staff would be proud of as well as being visually pleasing to our clients and potential applicants.
Rapid Office in conjunction with HQ2 Business interiors recently undertook the design/supply & installation of our new headquarters facility here in the West end.
I found Rapid to be reliable, resourceful and a pleasure to work with. They delivered on time on budget and made the whole experience a pleasurable one.
Having worked with Rapid Office on a number of projects,
I have been always been impressed with their prompt responses, direct communication with the users, budget keeping and attention to detail during the installation process.
The team as a whole have made us feel very confident and I would certainly recommend them.
All the very best for the .
The quality of their work and service consistently exceeds expectations and I expect to be involved with Rapid Office in the future.
The installation service we received from Rapid Office was fantastic, the installers went above and beyond what we expected from them, credit to all those involved.
I'd just like to put in writing my thanks to Paul and his team at Rapid Office for all their hard work on Saturday and for such a nice, helpful bunch to work with.
I'd also like to thank you for your help and advice during the planning process and to Christian for his initial plans which grew into a new office.
I am writing to you to commend Rapid Office on a very successful office move. We were up and operating at 9am this morning as planned. The office was in pristine condition thanks to your attention to detail coupled with a can-do determination throughout the weekend, really impressed every one arriving at their new head office.
Thank you for your efforts and I look forward to working with your again in the future.
I was highly impressed with Matthew Notts continuously speedy reactions to my e-mails and communications as well as the standards of the installation team at Rapid Office who were extremely polite, focused and efficient.
I just wanted to write and convey to Rapid Office our thanks for your efforts in helping us design and supply the furniture for our new UK Headquarters.

"He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man."
— Samuel Johnson
Just a few months ago, more than 1 million wildebeests were seen leaving the Serengeti Plain in Tanzania and heading north to Kenya. The hulky, horned creatures had greedily consumed all of the grass and water in the plain and were now in search of more. The great migration happens every year, and the wildebeests will eventually make their way back to Tanzania, but not before depleting their Kenyan resources first. Between the two points, the herd must pass through the temperamental Mara River, where at least 1,000 wildebeests die during each crossing. Some are attacked by hyenas while coming out of the water. Many drown. Others are eaten by crocodiles.
In a few months' time, Louisiana lawmakers will make their own pilgrimage to Baton Rouge — possibly for a special session in January, but definitely for the annual session in April. It's as predictable as the wildebeest migration. Lawmakers, however, will arrive at their destination to find grazing opportunities as barren as the Serengeti Plain the wildebeests left behind. And just like the beasts, it's all because of their own gluttonous ways.
Fiscally, lawmakers will be forced to forage for whatever scraps the administration throws their way — and they won't eat for free. Those who feed at the administration trough will have to toe the line, more like trained circus acts than wild animals.
Louisiana presently has an $865 million surplus, which will be doled out sometime next year by the administration of Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal. That rosy fiscal picture will give way, however, to an anticipated $1.3 billion shortfall for the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2009. In most households, the answer would be obvious: use this year's surplus to mitigate next year's shortfall. Unfortunately, the surplus "cannot be used to mitigate the shortfall for Fiscal Year 2010," says Commissioner of Administration Angele Davis, the governor's chief budget officer. Under our state constitution, the surplus can be used for one-time expenses such as retiring debt, bolstering the coast and paying for construction projects. A surplus can even be placed in a savings account for future use, but it will still be confined to the same select areas of spending.
Rep. Joe Harrison, a Republican from Napoleonville, says a constitutional convention could be called to remove restrictions on surplus dollars and to alter the method in which budget cuts are applied. Jindal and his team are open to the idea, but it can't happen soon enough to plug the coming $1.3 billion shortfall. Had lawmakers taken advantage of past opportunities to save money, the challenge might be less onerous. They gorged themselves on a $1 billion surplus earlier this year and increased spending in the current budget by another $1 billion this summer. Now the pastures aren't so green, and state officials have no place to migrate.
Perhaps appropriately, Davis says the first items to be stripped from the coming budget will be lawmakers' pet projects. Of course, that could just be the administration's opening line in negotiations over the current $865 million surplus. Some lawmakers say the horse-trading has already started, with those on the receiving end expected to swallow Jindal's budget cuts next year.
The predatory jockeying for the surplus dollars has taken solid form in a short period of time. The Capital Region Legislative Delegation, for instance, recently met with Davis and Jindal Chief of Staff Timmy Teepell to secure $60 million for Baton Rouge-area transportation projects. Senate Retirement Chairman Butch Gautreaux, a Democrat from Morgan City, is trying to line up $100 million to pay down debt in the state's retirement systems. The overall tally, known as unfunded accrued liability, has eclipsed $10 billion; the requested $100 million is a drop in the proverbial bucket.
Many legislative budget requests have merit. But as the positioning intensifies, important issues are sure to fall by the wayside. Robyn Ekings, spokeswoman for Louisiana State Employees' Retirement System, says there are concerns that unfunded accrued liability will fall prey to politics — again — as lawmakers grab money that impacts their respective constituents more than the state as a whole. "Paying down debt just isn't a sexy issue," she says.
This $865 million surplus could be the last fiscal hurrah for a while, so Jindal and lawmakers should spend it wisely. Legislative Fiscal Officer H. Gordon Monk says all of the state's financial indicators are pointing toward hard times. Sales taxes are flat, corporate income taxes are in decline and oil prices — Louisiana's great equalizer — are as unpredictable as ever. Just two weeks ago, oil fell below $50 a barrel to its lowest price since May 2005, getting dangerously close to the outer reaches of Louisiana's comfort level. "We can't find many pluses," Monk says.
Jim Richardson, an LSU economist who also serves on the state's Revenue Estimating Conference, says the situation should not be underestimated. What's even more alarming is there's no prior frame of reference. "There are more industries with negative growth numbers than positive growth numbers," he says. "We have not been through a period like this."
There's a sense that many lawmakers, especially those who do not sit on the money committees, don't grasp the complexity of the challenges. "I know it's difficult for you to understand the severity because we're coming off of two consecutive years of surplus," Davis told lawmakers earlier this month. "Right now we're facing a moment of truth."
Truth is always hard to swallow. Lawmakers like to cut services about as much as wildebeests like to cross the dangerous Mara River. The gnus steel themselves for the task — to the point of sacrificing some of their own for the overall good of the herd — because they know they'll find better times on the other side. Lawmakers, on the other hand, are not as willing to sacrifice. They fear another kind of population check: Louisiana voters at election time.

ST. LOUIS As recently as four months ago, Jeremy Affeldtwent on record calling a closer-by-committee approach an exercise in futility.
Hes a believer now.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy and pitching coach Dave Righettiassembled the relievers and delivered an impassioned speech, telling them thatmatchups would dictate who inherits the closer role on a given night and thatthis bullpen was talented and tough enough to adjust.
I think Boch and Rags both said it pretty good, Affeldtsaid. They said, Look, this is what we have to do. We believe in you guys. Weknow what can happen in these situations, but we have a lot of faith that thisbullpen can do it.
When youre addressed like that, you want to go out andback them up. You say, If this is what it is, lets do it.
They got the job done Tuesday night while protecting BarryZitos decision in a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.Bochy tapped Sergio Romo in the eighth inning to get through the right-handedmiddle of the Cardinals order. After Yadier Molina hit a two-out double,Affeldt took it the rest of the way.
It couldve been the other way with Romo, said Bochy, whodescribed the committee in these terms:
When we get down to the last six outs, itll be Romo andAffeldt and (Javier) Lopez, and if they need a break, itll be the other guys.
What about erstwhile closer Santiago Casilla, who naileddown 19 of his first 20 save attempts but has a 7.82 ERA over his last 17games?
He warmed up in the seventh inning. He wasnt warming up inthe ninth. Only Brad Penny was getting loose as Affeldt finished up for histhird save.
Sure enough, Bochy confirmed that Casillas blister issueacted up again. He wasnt available.
Affeldt can cite plenty of anecdotal evidence about thecloser-by-committee turning toxic. Its hard to imagine the Giants, who play somany tight games especially at AT&T Park, where theyve hit 17 home runsin 55 games can operate smoothly down a pennant stretch with such an unsettledbullpen.
Theres a reason that Bochy left Matt Cain and Zito on themound a bit longer in the first two games of this series (with a bad resultMonday and a better outcome Tuesday).
And the Giants remain actively looking for bullpen help onthe waiver wire, which could change the dynamic.
But for right now, for those eight relief pitchers, this isthe contract theyve been assigned.
We all felt more comfortable at least being told, Affeldtsaid. Today, it would have been chaotic if we didnt know whats going on.Because we did, we handled ourselves appropriately.
Were carrying eight guys in the pen. Well be used. Butour starters, man, the way they throw, theyre pretty consistent. I dont thinkwell burn through all our guys.
Affeldt also pointed out that because its a veteranbullpen, the relievers are thinking as the game goes along. They account forwhos coming up and whom the opposing team has left on the bench. Bullpen coachMark Gardner is in their ear with scouting reports and reminders so they arentsurprised by anything when they get out there, which is a huge help.
You just mentally agree to it, Affeldt said. I thinkwere all pretty comfortable with the scenario weve been given.
Theyll have to be. In the meantime, more run support isnever a bad thing.

Phosphate Stripping
NACA Information Sheets - An Introduction to Phosphate Stripping
Phosphates - they have been blamed for the decline of the Broods and recently NACA, Wesum Valley Project and Environment Agency have made efforts to persuade Anglian Water to install phosphate strippers along the Upper Wensum. But the question on many lips is "What are phosphates and why strip them?" Simon Johnson now provides the answers.
What is phosphorus ?

In days gone by, it was referred to as a treehouse, but today's child most likely calls it a tree fort. No matter what its title, though, the place is basically the same: a safe arboreal hideout ... mysteriously endowed with the power to transport its occupants far away from worldly matters and into the realm of fantastical play and unencumbered daydreams. You remember the place ....
And, while reminiscing, you may also recall that these aerial habitats usually come in two distinct forms: There's the sturdy fortress cautiously constructed by a hammer-wise adult, and then there's the ramshackle (but equally usable) type built by the inexperienced but enthusiastic carpenters/adventurers who plan to inhabit it. Of the two versions, only one is really worth creating: the latter. After all, whereas an adult-built structure might be more aesthetically pleasing (to parents), a child-made hangout is enriched with the unique (and oftentimes quite inspired) resourcefulness of its youthful creators.
However, you must keep in mind that, although these child-crafted models might appear to be haphazard in design, there really is a basic "recipe" that must be adhered to. Otherwise, the outcome could be downright dangerous. The exact amounts of ingredients involved may vary according to the builders' needs and whatever raw materials are available, but the general components of a tree fort are always the same. Just in case you've got an eager crew of aspiring builders, I've prepared an outline of the basic plan, complete with a few directions on what to do with the ingredients when you've assembled them:
To begin, organize the raw materials ... and then don't yield to the young engineers' impassioned pleas that you build the fort for them! Point out that all the ingredients have been assembled so that they can begin work whenever they wish.
Once construction is taken up by the youngsters, your job becomes that of building inspector. This task should be undertaken as subtly as possible, so as to leave most of the work (and therefore the resulting sense of accomplishment) to the crew. The initial stage of construction should take place at the limit of the youngsters' reach . . . maybe four or five feet above the ground, at most. After the plywood has been haphazardly nailed to the trees, you might point out—casually, of course—the need for supporting beams (otherwise, they're likely to find out the hard way!).
Level Two construction generally gets under way during the following year, when the carpenters realize that—since the view improves with altitude—a second-story platform is a necessity. During this phase of work, the building inspector should make frequent trips to the site-after bedtime—to check on the sturdiness of the new structure by flashlight. (Note: Be sure to bend over the heads of any nails used to reinforce critical points—and maybe even leave a few hammer marks on the boards—thus disguising any obvious evidence of your nocturnal visits.)
Over the years, a fort can expand to as many as four levels, depending on the height and strength of the tree(s). As the structure grows, the inspector's job becomes not only more crucial but much more difficult, since young engineers tend to concoct ladders and trapdoors suited to their own small sizes and weights. This could result in gymnastic contortions on your part in order to inspect Level Four.
A tree fort is never fully finished: It's steadily added to and improved upon until about the time that its inhabitants/creators discover the opposite sex. Since a splintered playhouse some distance above the ground is hardly the most comfortable (or conventional) spot for a first date, the tree fort is retired to the photograph album as the children pursue more mature matters. Still, an appreciation of "Hey, I really did build it myself!" does remain, and this can grow with the passage of years. If you have any doubts, just ask Grandpa about his treehouse hideaway!

Final results of Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Hong Ki's bowling competition
Here are the final results of Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Hong Ki's (FT Island) bowling tryout. After playing on Oct. 29 and 30, they had an average score of 192.3 for Kim Soo Hyun and 177.2 for Lee Hong Ki. The cut score was 200 on average, and they didn't pass the second round of games. Kim Soo Hyun placed the 68th, and Lee Hong Ki the 89th out of 94 participants.
They had passed the first round of games, which took place a weekend ago, with an average score of 214.6 for Kim Soo Hyun and 191 for Lee Hong Ki. The cut score for the first round had been 190 on average.
The men's professional bowling association in Korea grants the title of a professional bowler to a celebrity who passes only the first round of games. Though this special policy started with the belief that celebrities contribute to the development of bowling at a greater level, Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Hong Ki must've thought of it as an unfair treatment, because they competed both rounds like the other participants.
Regardless of the result, we admire Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Hong Ki for doing their best. We already know how hard Kim Soo Hyun had practiced for this tryout. "Kim Soo Hyun is physically fit and passionate about bowling," Kim Hyun Bum, the actor's teacher and professional bowler, had said. "Because he was busy, he often practiced at night and early in the morning. He was so focused that his fingers started bleeding."
It's the effort not the result that counts, right? What do you think of Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Hong Ki's love for bowling? Tell us below!

Zimbabwe: #ThisFlag Pastor Mawarire joins millions in the Diaspora who want to go homeRate this title
Pastor Evan Mawarire is currently in South Africa: The accidental hero like millions of other Zimbabweans just wants to go home.
Pastor Evan Mawarire might end up floating along in the Diaspora like so many other Zimbabweans, nursing his hope that one day things will change, that one day he can go home and help to rebuild his country. Every day of his time away he will yearn for the sights, sounds, smells and culture of his homeland. The accidental hero who started the #ThisFlag movement when he spoke into a camera over his concerns for what the Flag of his country should mean and what it translates to in real life, may not be able to return to help further the social movement for change in the Mugabe Regime
Millions in the Diaspora.
There are millions of Zimbabweans living in the Diaspora, many of them for political reasons, many in fear of the Mugabe Regime and many more due to the lack of jobs and are essentially economic refugees.
Hundreds of thousands of them are poor people struggling to survive in menial jobs in a hostile environment in South Africa, where xenophobia has seen tragic acts inflicted upon them.
The better educated and those with the means to leave Zimbabwe are to be found in almost every country on the planet.Many of them have been forced to take out foreign citizenship as the citizenship act has been kicked from post to post many times. The steady flow of those who have left the country include lawyers, businessmen, media experts, engineers and more and the intellectual export of them has been termed one of the major exports of the country in recent years.
#Zimbabwean July Ndlovu appointed CEO of Anglo American Coal #thisFlag: https://t.co/UH6VakhjkP pic.twitter.com/apcgkwguOy— Zimbabwe Today (@ZimToday) July 26, 2016
Amnesty International say going home would be dangerous.
Pastor Evan has repeatedly said that he will return home, but following his release from a court where the State prosecution was trying him on treasonable charges, President Mugabe unleashed his fury on the Pastor at a funeral.
Since then, his followers, mainly within the ZANU (PF) youth, have threatened to "deal" with the Pastor. In Zimbabwe like Itai Dzamara, an activist abducted by armed men 16 months ago - "dealing" can mean death.
VOA reported that Amnesty International has stated that Pastor Evan Mawarire's life is in danger and a premature return to Zimbabwe would be dangerous for him. His family has now joined him, but even in South Africa, it appears he is not beyond the reach of radical Mugabe supporters. In a recent video he mentioned how much he wants to go home. When he first left Zimbabwe, no doubt, at the time, he thought he would be able to return. The family man would surely never have abandoned his close-knit family if he had believed otherwise.
This Flag and other movements continue the internal struggle.
The #ThisFlag movement and others such as Tajamuka have continued in his absence, and a leadership of sorts is starting to emerge in the Quiet Revolution movement. Repeatedly, they point out to disappointed #ThisFlag followers that the movement for change is not based on a single personality, and that #ThisFlag can still achieve their objectives no matter where the Pastor is.
After all, despite his natural magnetism, his brilliant way of speaking and his bright, honest face, he never asked to be placed in a position of leadership. The Zimbabweans who want change are also well aware that the personality cult surrounding President Mugabe probably took the failing state to where it stands today. Others remind their compatriots that Mugabe himself fought for the freedom of Zimbabwe from exile.
Pressure from outside the country.
The movement is not just being fought on the ground. Whilst it is dangerous to and heroic of the Tajamuka and #This Flag members to operate on the ground to push for change, the Zimbabweans in the Diaspora send money back home and are doing as much as they can to put pressure on their adoptive governments and on the Zimbabwe Government by holding vigils, rallies and through citizen journalism. Evan Mawarire might end up as one more voice in the crowd who just want to go home – albeit, an influential one.

Just looking around the internet at pool filters and ran into this statement on one site.
Crushed sand filter systems are being outlawed in a growing number of areas because of the need to back flush, which causes contaminated water to mix with groundwater supplies.
Anyone run into this or heard of this happening in their area?

Copper (Cu) activates enzymes and catalyzes reactions in several plant-growth processes. Vitamin A production is closely linked to the presence of Cu as well, and it helps ensure successful protein synthesis. Classified as a micronutrient, only a small amount of this essential nutrient is needed for plant survival.
Copper is the most immobile of the micronutrients.
Many vegetable crops show Cu hunger, with leaves that lose turgor and develop a bluish-green shade before becoming chlorotic and curling.
Copper is necessary to chlorophyll formation in plants and catalyzes several other plant reactions.
Other metals in the soil, such as iron, manganese and aluminum, affect the availability of Cu for plant growth.
Organic soils are the most vulnerable to Cu deficiency; heavy, clay-type soils are least vulnerable.
Copper (Cu) activates enzymes and catalyzes reactions in several plant-growth processes. The presence of copper is closely linked to Vitamin A production, and it helps ensure successful protein synthesis.
Copper (Cu) is necessary for carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism, so inadequate Cu results in stunted plants. Copper also is required for lignin synthesis, which is needed for cell wall strength and wilt prevention. Deficiency symptoms of Cu are stem and twig dieback, leaf yellowing, stunted growth, and pale green leaves that wither easily. Symptoms generally appear on young plants.
Copper deficiencies are mainly reported on organic soils and on sandy soils that are low in organic matter. Copper uptake decreases as soil pH increases. Increased phosphorus and iron availability in soils decrease Cu uptake by plants.
Recommended Cu rates range from 3 to 10 pounds per acre as CuSO4 or finely ground CuO. Residual effects of applied Cu are very marked, with researchers noting responses up to eight years after application. Because of these residual effects, soil tests are essential to monitor possible Cu accumulations to toxic levels in soils undergoing Cu fertilization. Plant analyses also can be used to monitor Cu levels in plant tissues. When available Cu levels increase beyond the deficiency range, growers should decrease or stop applying it.Dig even deeper into Copper
Symptoms of deficiency can vary across crop species, but similarities exist for how nutrient insufficiency impacts plant tissue color and appearance. Nutrient deficiencies are commonly associated with the physical location on the plant (i.e., whether the symptoms are primarily observed on older versus newly formed plant tissue), but these symptoms can spread as the severity of the deficiency progresses.
All photos are provided courtesy of the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) and its IPNI Crop Nutrient Deficiency Image Collection. The photos above are a sample of a greater collection, which provides a comprehensive sampling of hundreds of classic cases of crop deficiency from research plots and farm fields located around the world.

new: gillette venus & olay razor.
beauties, last week i met the stunning sports illustrated swimsuit model chrissy teigen. her legs are longer than my whole body, so she knows a thing or two about leg maintenance. chrissy insists that she shaves multiple times a day when she has a photo shoot. in fact, her affinity for shaving is what led her to become a spokeswoman for gillette's newest razor - venus & olay.
i already love the state-of-art ergonomics that guide the design of the venus razor line, but the moisture level needed to be upped! gillete venus & olay has five blades, with olay moisture bars on both ends.
the razors will go on sale march 15, 2012 in mass retailers for $14.99-$19.49, but tomorrow (3/1/12) at noon EST there will be a pre-sale on the venus facebook page for $8.99 with free shipping.
editor's note: in accordance with the ftc regulations, please be advised that MakeupLovesMe.com attended an event and received a sample of this product for possible review.

THE SMALL PRINTYour money is refundable up until THREE WEEKS PRIOR to the class unless otherwise stated.PLANE TICKETS ARE NOT REFUNDED in the case of case cancelling. Please buy your tickets at the three week mark or get refundable tickets.
ENROLLED STUDENTS: Materials List and Instructions
1. Spinning Wheel
2. Niddy Noddy
-1oz mohair (locks, batts, roving form ok)
-commercial mohair yarn for core-spinning (not the super hairy kind...look for something strong, thin and with some furriness. it won't show so don't worry about what it looks like.)
-Plying threads/yarns: Bring strong, thin material for thread-plying. This will show so bring ones that you want to mix with your fibers.
-1 lb. wool. (Locks, batts, roving ok. but I highly recommend bringing farm wool or lightly processed rovings as opposed to really processed commercial roving such as super-wash or combed tops.)
-Carding goodies: We will be doing a lot of carding, so here's your chance to break out the sari-silk, sparkle, noils or any other little textured fibers!
Optional Materials:
Since much of the class will now be individual-study I will not be covering many topics as a whole group. Please refer to techniques you are interested from my books or other sources and check those material requirements and bring those things. we can cover it one-on-one.
Some ideas for independent study time:
-Uncarded locks (any breed, for tail-spinning)
-Add-ins (beads, buttons, feathers etc.)
- large eye sharp darning needle (if doing add-in's)
-fabric (very soft natural fabrics, like vintage cotton and silk work best. not stiff stuff!! pre-shredded at no more than 1/4" width.)
We will be doing both regular spinning and well as highly textured stuff. So if you have a wheel that can handle both, bring it. If you have to choose one, go for the larger orifice and wheel with best take-up.
You are encouraged to bring things you've made or spun to share w/the class and give ideas!

College football season is already upon us and done for the year. At least it is to video game fans with the release of EA NCAA 2013. Now instead of reading stories about Notre Dame meaning something again or conference realignment, you can play with your favorite team and take them to the title game. The annual release of the game means fans can go through several virtual seasons with their team until the real one FINALLY gets here.
- Oregon fans will kill me for saying this, but the PAC-12 title will come down to the Apple Cup game with Washington vs. Washington State…in 2017.Perhaps it is a tad premature but both coaches have the offensive minds to put up enough points to reach the PAC-12 title game on the rare occasions when Oregon is may be having a HUGE (and rare) down year in the north division. I feel WSU head coach MikeLeach needs some time to get his players and system in place, but there will not really be a lot of defenses in the PAC-12 able to stop the Air Raid offense (excluding USC and Oregon). Washington Head Coach SteveSarkisian showed that his team can play offense, but are still figuring out that whole 'defense' thing, but give but him another 4-5 years to put together some kind of defense. It would be fun to watch that unfold over the years…I mean its Mike Leach and his swing your sword philosophy!
- For Texas to be in the slump they are in just baffles me. Texas is one of the biggest hot beds of recruiting for all of college football. Texas Head Coach Mack Brown has his pick of any recruit in the state, yet still is coming up with middle of the road seasons. In the Big-12 that says a lot about the coaching going on down in Austin. To some programs 8-5 would be a great year, but to Texas fans it's unacceptable. With the funds and resources the Longhorns have available to them, any season with less than nine wins is a failure in my book. Texas is also paying Brown $5 million a year, so they have every right to get a little heated about settling for middle of the pack eight-win seasons and non-BCS bowl invites. This year the defense will keep them in every game, they just need a QB to get the offense moving.
- Here is a crazy idea for expansion in the SEC: GetDuke and North Carolina to join. With North Carolina in a world of hurt with the NCAA and Duke never good at football, this is obviously a basketball move. Then the SEC could stake claim to being a powerhouse in football AND basketball. Imagine that power. Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina basketball all in the same conference. I am calling Mike Slive right now to tell him to get the ball rolling for that once the NCAA evolves into 16-team power conferences. Woooo! Another SEC dynasty is born.
- Penn State situation= CHAOTIC MESS. That is all I have to say about that, growing ever more sad and tragic with each new detail emerging.
- It is only a matter of time until Oregon changes their field design to something much brighter. The University of Lindenwood-Belleville has decided to go with the "cool" colors on the football field. How much longer will Phil Knight sit around and watch as Oregon becomes uncompetitive in field designs for the football team? Just teasing, it would be pretty sweet to see Oregon run out onto a yellow field with all Yellow uniforms. It would have the same effect as Boise State wearing all blue at home.
Well that is all the news and thoughts for now. I am sure someone's team is just itching to move conferences still ,and some stud player is about to be pulled over. Enjoy the college football countdown this week by playing some NCAA 2013 and it should help maintain a little sanity during the long off-season…for now.
T'il next week college football fans.

Since the Chalcolithic period, forts were being strategically constructed for protection of life and properties of the inhabitants. There is mention about fortification in the ancient texts like Arthshastra and Manasara . Many sites like Harappa & Mahenjodaro also had implemented fortification. As per Rig veda, "Durga" means a fort or a strong hold. There are innumerable references about forts and techniques of fortification in early Indian texts. Few of them also mention the forts as "Garh" which refer to human settlements having fortified townships.
Asurgarh is one such fortified townships believed to be an early urban center of ancient Odisha, during 4th century BC to 5th century AD. Literally meaning "Fort of Demons", Asurgarh has resemblances to that of Sisupalgarh which is in modern-day Bhubaneswar. Forts being names Asurgarh are found in different parts of Western Odisha like Barpali, Rampur, Manamunda and Adgaon. Excavation was conducted only at Asurgarh near Manamunda in Sonepur district and near Narla in Kalahandi disctrict.
Asurgarh of Kalahandi
The Asurgarh fort is located at about 20 K.Ms from Bhawanipatna, the district headquarters of Kalahandi. The nearest railway station is Rupra road on the Sambalpur-Vizag raliway route. Limited excavation was undertaken by Department of History, Sambalpur University and Department of Culture, Govt of Odisha in 1973. The excavation of the fort throws significant light on the history and culture of South Kosala and Mahakantara region.
Asurgarh fort was constructed as per the Kautilyan principle of Durgavidhana and ancient Indian geometrical formula. The fort is rectangular in shape and surrounded by massive defensive walls of about four meters in width and 15 to 50 meters in height. The walls are made of rubbles and mud with bricks. After the wall, a wide and deep mote girdles the fort on North, South and East sides. On the west side, river Sandol flows to close to the western rampart towards north to meet the river Utei (a tributary of Tel river) and thereby providing a natural boundary. On each side of the fort, there is an entrance. There is a shrine present near each gate: Goddess Ganga in east, Budharaja in North, Vaishnavi in South and Kalapata in West. The shrine of Goddess Dokari is present inside the fort. There is elevated ground in the central part of the fort as this is present in the ancient times at the time of palace foundation. Wide and deep mote girdles the fort on North, South and East side. On the Western side, River Sandul flows to the north to meet the river Utei which is a tributary of the river Tel and there by providing a natural boundary.
Close to the eastern ditch, there is a huge reservoir measuring 200 acres of land which is popularly known as Asursagar. It was so arranged that when the enemies surrounded the fort, a secret sluice might be opened so that the whole inside and outside of the fort would be flooded with water and consequently the hostile army washed away by the water currents. The fort would remain as an island if such a flood were created, because the fort was situated on a high level. It is presumed that the palace was constructed at the center of the fort. During 2nd half of the 19th century, Raja Udit Pratap Dev renovated the lake for agricultural purpose. The lake at present is known as Udit Sagar according to the name of Raja Udit Pratap Dev. There is a small tank on the southwest corner of the fort known as Radhasagar. The Habitation zone of the inhabitants is documented towards the south and north of the fort immediately after the fortified wall which is further superimposed by another mud wall within 100 hectares radius at each settlement zone. The mud wall has a single gate in the middle.
Historical Significance
From the 1st to 3rd century AD, Ancient Atavika land (comprised roughly the present districts of Koraput and Kalahandi in Orissa and Bastar of Madhya Pradesh) had commercial and socio-cultural relationship with the Chedi of Kalinga and Kushan Empire of the northwest. In the Amaravati stupa inscription the land is designated as Mahavana. The Asokan edicts also has mention about the Atavika people who were considered to be part of the Kalingan army which fought the battle of Kalinga in 261 BC. It was an important recruiting ground for the veteran army of Kalinga even as early as the time of the Mahabharata war. Asurgarh seems to be an important center of the Atavika territory. It was one of the ancient metropolis between 500 BC and 500 AD, contemporary to Sisupalgarh. Asurgarh – Narla served as the political – cultural and commercial hub of the Titilaka Janapada & Atavikas. The discovery of antiquities like Punch-marked coins, a piece of Chunar sandstone, Red, Black Slipped ware, Beads, etc., date back to Mauryan period. 539 silver coins belonging to the king of Kalahandi, were discovered from the site out of which 69 were from pre-Mauryan period, 272 were from Mauryan period and 198 were from the post-Mauryan rule to the Guptas. Such large group of Punch marked coins indicate that perhaps there was a Mint industry in Asurgarh. These finds indicate that Kalahandi region was civilized and prosperous in the days of Ashoka and the Atavika, who were regarded as forest dwellers, were not uncultured and had developed a high standard of civilization. There is similarity of some of the punched mark coins with those of Bijnor and Palia near Kausambi. Also there is similarity of texture and fabric of some pottery types with those found at Ahichhatra. This indicates that there was trade interaction of Asurgarh with prosperous towns like Kausambi and Ahichhatra in northern India during the days of the Maurya. The findings of red glazed Kushana pottery along with highly polished black wares, also indicate that there was cultural and commercial interaction between Kalahandi region and the Kushana Empire during the 1st- 2nd century A.D. Beads from Asurgarh must have played an important role in the trade network, because this region happens to be a rich gemstone deposit belt and it lies on a major trade route of ancient times connecting the eastern Indian site of Tosali with Kosala. Perhaps there was a bead manufacturing industry at Asurgarh. The most common materials are Carnelian, agate, crystal, glass, jasper, sapphire, quartz, ruby, garnet, stone and terrocota. Findings from the pre-historic Stone Age and Copper-Bronze Age have been found from Asurgarh.
In 4th century A.D., the fort of Asurgarh appeared to have belonged to king Vyaghraraja of Mahakantara, to whom Samudragupta claimed to have defeated in course of his Southern campaign. The next important king known to have held sway over Asurgarh was Maharaja Tustikara, the donor of Terasingha copperplate grant. However the excavation indicates that the fort area was deserted in 5th-6th century A.D. and it is presumed that Tustikara was the last ruler of Asurgarh region. In 7th century A.D., Chinese pilgrim Yuan-chwang travelled through this area but has not mentioned about Mahakantara, so it is presumed that at this area had lost it's importance by 7th century A.D. The discovery of charcoal, coal, bone and ashes indicate that the residence of the last dweller of this fort were destroyed due to the natural calamities or fire.
Asurgarh region flourished from 3 rd century B.C. to 6 t h century A.D. with such important features like: – fortified settlements, structural features (both religious and secular), a rich ceramic industry, terracotta, bead and mint industries. Thus the fort of Asurgarh bears testimony to the antiquity of an early urban center of ancient orissa.
Water Management System
People of ancient India had realised the importance of water (Jala) and they used the synonym Jivana (life) for it. The rise and fall of many civilisations rested on the proper management of water resources. As per the ancient literatures, those who had effective control over their water resources, did enjoy considerable social, economic and political powers. People used to dig dams, pond and reservoirs to preserve water for multiple purposes. Small and big ponds are invariably noticed in early historic towns and metropolises of Odisha. Two huge tanks have been identified in Western Odisha, one at Maraguda urban complex in Nuapara district and the other at Asurgarh urban center in Kalahandi district. Asursagar also known as Udit Sagar, covers an area of more than 200 acres of land. Its alignment is from east to west exactly corroborating the cardinal directions of tank as outlined by Varahamihira (6th century A.D.). The water of this tank had multiple utilization. In case of external aggession, the water could be channeled to fill up the encircling moat. Also in case of scanty rainfalls, the water preserved water could be utilized for agricultural purpose during scanty rainfall.
In close proximity to the Southern rampart and ditch of Asurgarh, a small pond was excavated, which is now a shallow land, yet the site still retains its original name known as Radhasagar. The excavation in this site revealed nude terracotta figurines (female fertility deities) and square plinth of the brick structure (identified as shrine). Besides domestic utility, small tanks had their religious bearing in ancient India. It was also known as Puskara (lotus pond) in Sanskrit. In the beginning such ponds were dug independently. Later on, however, temple structure was added or vice versa adjacent to the pond. Small pond was also needed for the consumption of the king and priest. Ancient Indian texts also speak about pond associated with the fertility rite. In Orissan context, finding of nude terracotta figures and temple structure in Asurgarh lend us to belief that ponds were imperative for fertility rites.
Asurgarh: Political-Commercial Site
Asurgarh was an important political and commercial center situated on the high road joining South Kosala and Mahakantra with Kalinga. According to late scholar Paramananda Acharya, it was situated on a short route through which salt and other commodities were transported from Mahamagiri to Dakshina Kosala. The discovery of terracotta ornaments, glass bangles, gems stones suggest the habitation of royal and aristocratic people during 4th and 5th century A.D.. The discovery of Terasingha copper plate of Maharaja Tustikara near the site is datable to 5th century A.D. The place of issue of the charter, Parvatadvaraka, which literally means "the gateway of the hill" represented the site under consideration. It served as a royal residence with proper fortification; free from external danger from the western side of Mahakantara region. The iron artifacts portray urban trend culture based on agricultural patterns.
Important Shakta center of ancient Odisha
There is legend about Asurgarh that there were 64 deities. The villagers worshiped a deity named Dokry as the guardian deity, which was inside the fort. Among the 64 deities, Goddess Ganga was in the East, Kalapata in the west, Vaishnavi in the North and Budharaja in the south. The third excavated site, which has been pointed out as a mound in a topographical map, is perhaps there was a temple. The important discovery is a spherical shaped sculpture made of brick. Late Dr. N. K. Sahu has identified a circled brick wall as a ruin of a Yogini temple; which may be compared with Yogini temple of Ranipur Jharial. Among the terracotta objects, includes animal figurines, goddess, a silver ambulate seal, silver ring and a large quantities of bones and skeletons. It may be possible that human sacrifice was prevailed during this period.
The discovery of Terasingha copper plate grant of Maharaja Tustikara (5th century A.D.) near Asurgarh indicates that Tustikara was perhaps the last ruler of Asurgarh region who was a great devotee of goddess Stambhesvari, who was responsible for the spread of Stambhesvari cult.

Dissolution of Ionic Compounds in Water
Lesson 8 of 9
Objective: SWBAT to diagram and describe what occurs at the molecular level during the dissolution of an ionic compound in water (a polar substance).
Big Idea: Water is polar, with regions of slight positive and negative charge; this polarity attracts and pulls apart cations and anions of an ionic compound.
This lesson focuses on allowing students to explain the process of dissolution by examining polarity. Students understand that some thing dissolve on a bulk scale, but may not fully comprehend what is occurring on a molecular scale. This lesson is designed to help students see patterns in attraction between opposite charges and the outcome of those attractions. In particular, this activity addresses one of the Crosscutting Concepts related to Patterns, XC-P-HS-1.
Additionally, this lesson incorporates two different Science and Engineering Practices. Students are drawing a model of an ionic compound dissolving in water (SEP 2) and providing explanations for how the dissolution occurs (SEP 6).
This lesson occurs at the end of this unit at a point where students are already expected to understand ionic bonds, ions, and polarity. Diagramming and explaining their individually created models helps to synthesize pockets of learning that have occurred throughout the unit and adds to a greater overall understanding of how all of these concepts tie in together to explain this particular phenomenon.

While I take attendance, students do a warm-up activity in their composition Warm-Up/Reflection books. I use today's warm-up to probe for students' prior knowledge about the day's upcoming lesson and to have them start thinking about what they will be learning. (To read more about Warm Up and Reflection Books, please see the attached resource.)
Today's Warm-Up: "Why do you think ionic compounds dissolve in water? (Hint: It has to do with water's polarity!)"
I am hopeful that some students might recall that we discussed in prior lessons that ionic compounds are formed by ions. We have also discussed briefly that ionic compounds have a crystal structure with alternating cations and anions that are held together by electrostatic attraction. Yesterday, I drew a Lewis Dot Structure of water and we discussed its polarity due to both the electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen as well as oxygen's lone pairs of electrons. I anticipate that students will express a vague understanding, but will not articulate it very well.
As students complete the warm-up, I walk around and read student responses. I stamp the books of students who demonstrate any type of deeper thinking about the prompt. Answers like, "because they do," or "that's how it works," do not get a stamp.
I ask students if anyone cares to share what their answer was, and call on one student once there are at least 5 hands in the air. After that student answers, I ask if anyone else had other ideas or if they agreed with the prior student's response. At no time during this warm-up discussion do I give students a "right" or "wrong" indication regarding their answers.

Intro to Activity
First, I draw a Lewis dot structure of a water molecule on the whiteboard. After drawing the molecule, I ask students the following questions to help them walk through the reasoning why water is a polar molecule:
- Which side of the water molecule has a slightly negative charge? (The oxygen side.)
- Why? (Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, and oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons adding to the electron density around it.)
- Which side of the molecule is slightly positive? (The side with two hydrogens.)
- Why? (Hydrogen is less electronegative so oxygen pulls the electron density from it.)
Previously, students learned that ionic compounds consist of nonmetal and metal atoms that have transferred electrons leaving metallic cations and nonmetallic anions. Students also know that these ions are held together by electrostatic attraction.
Before I diagram an ionic compound crystal structure, I ask students the following questions:
- How are ionic compounds arranged? (I pause because most of my students do not know what I mean.)
- What are ionic compounds made of? (Ions. Note: Some of my students will answer, "a nonmetal and a metal." I follow up that answer with these questions: What happens to the electrons in an ionic bond? They are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal. What happens after the electrons are transferred? Ions are formed.)
- How are those ions arranged? (If students do not readily answer, I follow with "Do all of the cations hang out together?" The positively charged ions alternate with the negatively charged ones.)
- Why? (Like charges repel each other, but opposite charges attract.)
After diagramming an ionic compound, complete with alternating ions with charges indicated, I use a different colored marker to outline the atoms in the Lewis dot structure of water previously drawn on the whiteboard. I show students that a water molecule looks like a Mickey Mouse head (if they don't immediately say that themselves--which sometimes they do!). I ask them what the charge density is on the "ears" of the water molecule (positive). I also ask them what type of ion those "ears" or hydrogens would be attracted to (the anions). Then I explain that as the water molecules surround an anion in the crystal structure, once there are enough water molecules surrounding the ion, it is pulled from the crystal because it is no longer as electrostatically attracted to the surrounding cations. I say the water molecules almost "shield" the charge that the anion feels. Then I diagram an anion surrounded by water molecules with the "ears" closest to the anion. I also diagram a cation surrounded by water molecules. As I begin to surround the cation with water, I ask students which side of the water molecule should be closest to the cation (the negative side) and make sure to draw it as such.
A picture of the whiteboard when I am done diagramming is included here:
Individual Drawing Activity
I handout the Dissolution of an ionic solid drawing handout to my students. I explain that I expect them to diagram similarly to mine, not exactly the same. This is a key distinction as I expect my students to demonstrate clear understanding of the content and not just ability to copy my diagram. I also explain that sometimes accompanying text can help explain a diagram more clearly, and I encourage them to add explanations where necessary for clarity.
Some student samples are shown below.
Here is student work that mirrors my diagram, has no explanation, and does little to show me that this student understands:
These two student samples have some explanation included, but still miss the mark.
These next two samples include enough diagramming coupled with explanation to show that these students understand the process of dissolution of an ionic compound in water:
This last sample is actually from a student who struggles with the English language, having just moved here from Armenia a year ago. See the attached reflection for more about how this activity helped her demonstrate her understanding and make connections to the English academic vocabulary.

Student Reflection
In student's Warm-Up/Reflection Books, students should spend about 3-5 minutes writing a response to the day's reflection prompt. Prompts are designed to either help students focus on key learning goals from the day's lesson or to prompt deeper thinking. The responses also allow me to see if there are any students who are missing the mark in terms of understanding. The collection of responses in the composition books can also show a progression (or lack thereof) for individual students.
Today's Reflection Prompt: "Why are cations and anions attracted to different sides of a water molecule?"
Desired student responses should indicate that:
- Cations have a positive charge and anions have a negative charge; cations and anions are oppositely charged.
- Water is polar--the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom coupled with oxygen's higher electronegativity value means that side of the molecule is slightly negative, leaving the hydrogens' side slightly positive.
- Positive areas are attracted to negative charges and negative areas are attracted to positive charges

MidCentral DHB provides health services to over 158,000 people – who mostly live in Palmerston North. It receives around $550 million every year to fund its health services. 28,000 people are discharged from hospital and 10,000 people receive operations each year.
MidCentral was one of the first District Health Boards in New Zealand to use TrendCare, starting in 2000. TrendCare measures patient acuity and is the base of all data needed to run Care Capacity Demand Management (CCDM).
Sue Wood, Director of Nursing, says MidCentral has worked with NZNO since the start of their CCDM process.
Staff across the hospital have been involved in developing and changing the way health services are delivered at MidCentral. A hospital-wide group helped in the roll-out of the programme, and staff continue to mentor each other ensuring everyone is using CCDM to its full potential.
"We've always been lucky that our data people adoptedit early, 2004,... once other departments started using it(other than nursing) they saw it as a broader, organisational tool rather than it just being a nursing system".
Sue Wood says the ability to match nurses to patients is the least understood part of the CCDM system.
She says that no other programme does this; the system is sensitive to what the patient actually needs, including their required hours of care.
For her there is immense power in linking the nurse and patient as staff can see what the reasonable workload is at a glance.
All this information builds in the system over time so it can ensure better decision making and build best practice processes – like tracing who was looking after a patient in the instance of an MRSA outbreak.
CCDM helps nurses make decisions about patient care, based on fact, experience and instinct.
It gives hard evidence on what's happening in a hospital. Sue says that by using it, "you're managing by fact more, rather than just 'I feel'".
CCDM can help substantiate how someone feels, but if it doesn't then you can start digging. "If it's not reflecting how you feel, look at the data and dig down because there'll be something that's missing."
MidCentral has worked alongside other District Health Boards using TrendCare. Sue says that in the National Nursing Workload project in 2001 a ward at Taranaki hospital was overworked and unhappy but it had plenty of staff, so management didn't know what was causing the problem.
It wasn't until someone drilled down into the TrendCare data that the real problem was revealed; it wasn't a lack of staff but simply an issue with staff composition. The ward's case-mix required more registered nurses than were assigned, and they had care assistants who weren't being use to full capacity.
The simplicity of CCDM is that no matter which DHB is using it, they are all have the exact same definitions and are generating the same type of data, allowing health professionals to get on with delivering better services for patients instead of comparing and contrasting the data they each provide.
Sue says when each DHB works with different systems, same terms different definitions, they are talking about apples and bananas and oranges, and it's hard to get past that.
Sue Wood says CCDM is a multi-pronged approach. It isn't about having more staff; it's about efficiency and effectiveness – and what the patient needs. If hospitals have old or inefficient systems, they won't get much benefit from the programme unless they tackle these.
And the benefits are worth the work. Patients become the centre of care delivery, lowering risks for them and for staff.
MidCentral has had strong organisation-wide buy in – it's capable of delivering a wide range of services and providing a wide range of information.
This means nurses and hospital staff are better informed – they can do risk assessments, patient action plans, as well as monitor activity levels, all in one place.
As District Health Boards move into a more digital and mobile environment, Sue believes there is a future for CCDM to become more mobile – much like the e-prescribing tool being trialled at Southern District Health Board. The assessment and care pathways in TrendCare could then be used at the beside more easily.
CCDM already complements Releasing Time to Care (a programme that reduces 'motion' and interruptions for nurses, allowing them to spend more time caring for patients) and making it mobile would allow nurses to get on with the business of nursing.
Sue Wood says CCDM is a key hospital management programme.

It was my birthday last week, and suffice to say I over-indulged. For a whole week. I've been very proud of my weight-loss success since joining Fat Club between Christmas & New Year, but in the space of this week, I put on half a stone! Oops!
As we're getting closer to Summer Holiday time, here's one to kick-start the beach body regimes! It's very very slightly adapted from a Slimming World recipe.
