Joyfulness vs. Self-pity
"The spontaneous enthusiasm of my spirit when my soul is in fellowship with the Lord" (IBLP)
1 Corinthians 1:9
"God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." NKJV
Are we where God intended us to be in our fellowship with Him and others?
John 16:23-24
"And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." NKJV
"The bobcat can be truly happy and joyful only when allowed to roam freely in the country where God intended it to be." (Used by permission)
To remove an animal from the wild is never recommended, unless one knows for sure that its parents are dead.
Matthew 5:11-12
"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." NKJV
Do not allow persecution to drive us away from our fellowship with God and others.
Do not allow persecution to drive us away from our God given territory.
Consider the following:
1 John 5:12 (No Jesus no life)
"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life." NKJV
Proverbs 8:34-36 (No obedience no happiness)
"Happy is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors.
For he who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord; but he who misses me injures himself; all who hate me love death." RSV
Colossians 1:13 (No Jesus no transfer)
"[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love" AMP
Isaiah 57:20-21 (No Jesus no peace)
"But the wicked are like the troubled sea, for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked." AMP
Because of Jesus, we have:
Transferred into the right place
I did not say it would be easy!

One of the unwritten conventions of working at the RSA is that, if a Fellow calls, you try your best to answer. So far, this has felt like anything but a burden, and has led to fascinating discussions and an emerging set of ideas for education projects, all which aim to engage Fellows at every stage.
Yesterday I met with RSA Fellow Sarah Bickerstaffe. An Associate at Improving Care, she is also carrying out research on social impact bonds in the mental health sector, and has recently set up a social enterprise to deliver Mental Health First Aid training. Imported from Australia, this two day programme trains people to identify and support people with mental health issues – from spotting panic attacks, to simple ways to talk to people who may be suicidal, to having more subtle conversations. Freed from an initial DoH programme, a new Community Interest Company is now thriving, with an interesting franchise model that encourages its instructors to innovate , whilst assuring quality in an atmosphere of high trust. Sarah has written about her work here.
Unsurprisingly, mental health first aid has taken off mainly in the public and voluntary sectors so far, for instance in the criminal justice and health sectors. There are also discrete courses for young people that could link well with the Modern Baccalaureate (which RSA is developing a partnership with).
Sarah is keen to develop new approaches to attract the private sector. There should be a strong business case for this, although the evidence on effectiveness is not quite mature yet. Although all kinds of businesses would benefit from this, as mental health is a common issue across any workforce, there are certain industries who encounter mental health issues more frequently, so might benefit from bespoke training. Nightclub bouncers, for instance, or bus drivers.
My first choice for a mental health first aid trial would be to run the course for cabbies. Sensible regulation during the last ten years, especially in London, has made the taxi industry far less shadowy. My local cab offices are staffed and their cabs driven by polite men, usually first generation immigrants, often highly educated. Their presence on our roads, and especially when waiting in their offices on our main shopping streets, discourages crime and anti-social behaviour. RSA's project on how taxi drivers can change habits to promote fuel efficiency shows a capacity and appetite for a different kind of 'Knowledge'.
Cab drivers could probably do with some general first aid training (In Germany, everyone has to pass a first aid qualification to get a driving licence), but might benefit in particular from mental health first aid training. Given their role in fuelling the night-time economy, they are likely to confront mental health emergencies, often drug and alcohol-related, sometimes leading to violence. Could there be a business case for cab drivers participating in mental health first aid training? Sometimes of course, as my favourite movie taxi scene shows below (rated 15) , it's the driver himself who needs help. But beyond the specifics of mental health first aid, are there other ways to turn cab drivers into our fourth emergency service?

I had promised a good friend of mine some new handles for his Boggs spokeshaves and spent the weekend turning a few. He sent me some wonderful Blackwood and Rosewood to make the handles from. Here's a quick iPhone shot of the finished handles.
I will be delivering these on Friday in Cincinnati.
I was making a new set for my two Lee Valley shaves as well and they use a different attachment method which I did not like. They used a small hanger bolt with a 1/4"-20 thread to attach to the shave. I did not think this gave me enough material in the handle to be secure. I am sure it was fine for the original bubinga handles but some other handle materials, not so much. The Boggs shaves attach with a 1.5" long 1/4"-20 bolt with a hex head for an allen key. This put about 1-1/8" of material in the handle which was more like a tang and I felt added more strength. I bought some threaded rod and cut some for myself and inserted them into the wood with a double-bolt setup. Here's a few process shots on the LN ones, but I ended up using the same process for the LV ones.

are not glued in place; once they are installed in the spokeshave and grain aligned,
they will be glued - we must align our grains...

Seaside bicycle ride
I'm starting a series of posts with nature photo trips backstages and descriptions. My blog just started to function recently, but the amount of material is huge and diverse, and I hope it would be useful and entertaining for you, dear readers.
Seaside bicycle ride.
I would want to start with this year's last summer days occasional morning bicycle trip to the seaside.
It usually takes about half an hour to reach the Baltic beach of the Gulf of Riga from my house, but the road is so boring when you ride it all the time.
Nevermind, what morning we had very good and calm weather with nice clouds over the dark blue sky. So here comes the first stop - near the artificial lake, what was Daugava's riverbed a century ago, before the river changed its direction. This scene had beautiful reflection and polarizing filter made it's job here.
Nikon D600, nikkor 16-35mm f4, at f11, 1/30, handheld.
You can see from the next photo how green the water in lakes and other small basins can get in this time of year due to seasonal algae blooming.
Nikon D600, nikkor 16-35mm f4, at f11, 1/40, handheld.
And when I finally reached the seaside, the sky was very good, although it may look a little bit "stocky".
Nikon D600, nikkor 16-35mm f4, at f11, 1/40, handheld.
Another sandy beach scene:
Nikon D600, nikkor 16-35mm f4, at f11, 1/50, handheld.
But for me seaside, especially where the river Daugava flows into the Gulf of Riga is never a boring place, considering that the port entrance is also here. So ships can be seen from very close distance, which is exciting and reminds me my childhood age, when I used to dream of becoming a sailor or even a captain. :)
During this trip I was hopping to get some photos of large and beautiful bulk carrier ship. And here it is:
Nikon D600, nikkor 16-35mm f4, at f11, 1/50, handheld.
Nikon D600, nikkor 16-35mm f4, at f11, 1/200, handheld.
On the second photo you can see the Mangalsal breakwater's part from which I make most of my ship shots.
As I said before, the weather was so calm - what it was a real pleasure to make some more landscapes. Better to say, seascapes:
Nikon D600, nikkor 16-35mm f4, at f11, 1/40, handheld.
And some coast guard military and other ship photos for ending:
Nikon D600, nikkor 70-300mm f4.5-5.6, at f8, 1/250, handheld.
Nikon D600, nikkor 70-300mm f4.5-5.6, at f8, 1/500, handheld.
Nikon D600, nikkor 70-300mm f4.5-5.6, at f8, 1/640, handheld.
Thank you for your attention!

I had a great time yesterday, having coffee, lunch a a chat with my friend who is the illustrator of the 'Buster the Dog' books. I gave Ally (Allyson Hean), a draft copy of the text of "Dog Buddha's Thoughts" and she will do the illustrations needed for the book.
Ally also gave me some great feedback, which is always a good thing when you want what you're doing together to be absolutely fantastic. It means I have more writing to do, but I love writing, so that's not a problem. Talking with Ally yesterday means that I now know what the front cover of my book will look like, and that's super exciting!
We talked about which breed of dog would be the best choice for the Dog Buddha to be. My ideas before talking with Ally had been leaning toward a kelpie or border collie, but Ally was far wiser than I, she was thinking about Asian dogs, a tibetan spaniel or sharpei. Of course that is the obvious answer to the question - the dog buddha looks like a sharpei!
Anyway, the book is looking like being a nice sized book, with some fun text and great illustrations. I'm getting more and more excited about it all! I have a launch date, I have enough money to pay for getting the book printed I have someone writing a forward for me, and the illustrations will be done in plenty of time too, wonderful!
The book will be launched on 29 July, during the 2017 Adelaide Plains Festival of Words. I hope I can attract lots of people along for the book launch, and that everyone there loves my new book! It's been such a great time thinking about what 'Buster the Dog' thinks about these thoughts of the Dog Buddha, and writing it all down for the book. Coming up with the actual thoughts was fun too. My life has been such a lot of fun, it seems like a great dream that I'm living!
I love writing books, I love selling books! Sharing my thoughts with other people is a fun way to go in life!

Alternatives to privatizing the UC
The president of the University of California proposed an 8% tuition hike yesterday, which would raise next year's undergraduate tuition to $11,124 (from $10,302 this year and $7,778 in 2008-2009). The California State University (larger and less elite) is discussing a 15% tuition hike to $4,884 annually.
By comparison, Stanford will charge $38,700 next year for undergraduate tuition, making the two Stanford-level UC campuses look like a bargain. USC charges $20,192 this year, although not all of the nine undergraduate UC programs are at the USC level.
UC tuition will also increase by an unspecified amount for graduate and professional programs. MBA tuition this year at Berkeley costs $39,670 for residents and $47,637 for non-residents. (Stanford charges $53,118).
Both UC and CSU claim the increases are needed to cover reduced state funding. The state has been cutting its support for higher education for 20 years, as it expands the welfare state and becomes increasingly captive to powerful public employee unions like the CTA and AFSCME. (The CSU has a union but it lacks the membership and clout of its larger siblings.)
UC president Mark Yudolf doesn't have a lot of good options. What are his alternatives?
- Cut administrative overhead, in terms of both numbers and their cost. This has been done in a limited way,but despite an extensive crusade by the SF Chronicle, is unlikely to go further.
- Cut other "waste, fraud and abuse." Isn't going to happen, and if it did, the bureaucratic costs would dwarf any savings.
- Cut rank and file salaries or benefits. This is where the money could be saved, but it would also reduce capabilities.
- Improve efficiency with larger class sizes, more automated grading, more classes taught by grad students. The UC lags the big Midwest schools in this category, in part because the legislature previously forbade it (such as grad students teaching upper division classes).
- Reduce enrollment. This would save on variable costs, but do nothing about sunk fixed costs for buildings, plant, equipment, etc.
- Increase prices, the direction the university has been on for decades. This is what Yudolf announced Monday in a program that the UC claimed would "strengthen UC finances"
Any price increase has to be rebated to those students on financial aid — 50% at CSU, one-third at UC. So as the state reduces its funding, the salaries of UC employees are increasingly being paid by its customers — much as at a private school. The buzzword for this is "privatization," and that's effectively what happened to the UC business, law and medical schools during the last economic downturn.
In fact, Yudolf hinted at privatization last December, and one of his business school deans last summer openly called for an end to state tuition subsidies. But California is different than other states (like Michigan) that have pursued this approach.
As a middle-class taxpayer, I have a strong personal stake in continuing the middle class subsidy, but I think there is an economic rationale as well. For those bright students who don't qualify for financial aid, forcing them to take $50k in loans to fund their undergraduate education is going to slow household formation and may force many of them to leave for states where the costs and taxes are lower.
Instead, I think the best option is to reduce enrollment, forcing the weakest UC students into the less expensive CSU system (which would presumably use the same approach). This will improve the quality of the experience for those who remain.
I realize this will reduce overall college access: one of the joys of being a public university professor is helping first generation college students get a leg on the economic ladder. Reducing UC and CSU enrollment would force the weakest students to reconsider a four-year degree — some of which would be better served by a two-year community college degree.
The next best option would be to charge the highest prices for the most elite schools, that presumably serve the students with the highest earning potential. Former UC regent Ward Connerly was blunt in recommending this:
"Let elite UC campuses like Berkeley and UCLA charge market rates," he says. "Students who go there would be high achievers who could afford it. Others would go to the other campuses or CSU or community college for two years. We've created the impression that you have to go to the UC system to be successful."This is the philosophy of the UK government policy shift this month to triple tuition at elite universities (to $14,500) — relatively high for Europe. Perhaps the results of the UK experiment will allow the UC to consider Connerly's proposal.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website.
I'll be adding posts to the blog here on SuffolkBoy.Com on a regular basis, some will be posts about things i'm making, my hobby is woodwork , others will share some of my photos of Suffolk and maybe a few of my dogs, other blog posts might well be idle ramblings that may make no sense at all to even the highly educated among you. 🙂
As i've mentioned my hobby is woodworking, i'm by no means a professional woodworker and most of what i make is quite basic. I try whenever possible to use wood that's left lying around and i can recycle into something useful, the main reason being it's a cheap way of supporting my hobby. I use alot of old pallets which can be used to make things like garden benches and planters, raised beds for herb gardens etc…
It's been a few years now since i did any wood turning but i've recently bought a cheap wood lathe, i paid £40 for it at a car boot sale, and i hope to spend some time learning how to use one again.

Btw, where can I buy Post Cereals in Perth? I'm dying for some Strawberry something right now.

Last updated August 2017
Once again parents will be able to register for the Kent Test online via www.kent.gov.uk/ola by 3rd July 2017 . If they register online and provide an e-mail address, they will receive their child's assessment decision via e-mail on 12th October 2017. I do recommend this process as each year postal results for some children are delayed.

Test Specification for 2019 entry
Kent candidates will take the tests on Thursday 6 September 2018. External candidates will take them on Saturday 8 September 2018. Everyone will take the tests on one day.
The first test will be an English and Maths paper in multiple-choice format with a separate machine readable (OMR) answer sheet. The English test is the first section. The whole test will take an hour to administer, plus any admin time before formal timing begins. Each sub-test will take 25 minutes, and will be preceded by a five minute practice exercise. Children will be required to stop at the end of the English section and wait for instructions before they start the Maths paper. The English will involve a comprehension exercise plus some additional questions drawn from a set designed to test literacy skills.
The second test will be a Reasoning paper in multiple-choice format. It will take about an hour* to administer, including the practice drills and questions. It will contain a verbal reasoning section and a non-verbal reasoning section of roughly the same length, with the verbal reasoning being the first part. The non-verbal reasoning will be split into four short sections, administered and timed individually (as in the previous tests).
There will still be a writing exercise which will not be marked but may be taken into consideration in borderline cases referred to the local Head Teacher Assessment Panel. 40 minutes will be allowed for the writing task, including 10 minutes to plan the piece.
*Exactly how long the reasoning test takes will depend on how quickly the practice drill and questions are completed before each timed section.
Scores will still be age standardised, using a national standardisation. The score range on each paper will be 69 or 70 to 140 or 141 as now, so the maximum aggregate standardised score would be 380 or 382.
Until Kent pupils have taken the tests it will not be possible to predict the threshold for grammar school but it is probable that it will be set in a similar way, using a minimum aggregate score and a minimum level for a single score.
Wherever the threshold is set, those schools which rank children by aggregate score for admission will continue to work down their list of applicants in score order, taking the highest scorers first, so the only effect of the changes will be that the scores involved will be different because fewer tests are involved.
You cannot appeal against a Kent Test Result, only against a decision not to be awarded a grammar school place you have applied for.
When results are sent out on 11th October, they will simply confirm whether the child has passed the Kent tests or not. Further details will be supplied to the primary school headteacher who will be able to give parents the exact scores. Parents will be able to ask their primary school for this information. Those who consider appealing are in for a long wait, as you cannot appeal until you are allocated a school on 1st March 2019. The first appeals are generally heard by the beginning of May. Feel sorry for those given an assessment on 11th October 2017, whose appeal is not heard until the middle of June 2019!
The pass mark is set to select 21% of Kent children and may vary from year to year. This variation does not mean that the test varies in standard. Kent County Council set a new test structure for 2015 entry explained in the Test Specification above, and some of the articles whose links are provided at the beginning of this article.
All parents of Kent grammar school applicants will have their decision letters placed in the post on 11th October 2018 to arrive on doorsteps on the 12th. For those parents who registered on line and provided a valid email address, an email will be sent after 4pm, on the 11th October. For those parents who registered online but did not provide a valid email address they will be able to log onto the OLA website to view the decisions after 5pm. These contain just the pass/fail decision, for individual marks contact your primary school. If you wish to contact me about not passing the test, please find out marks first.
Consult the article on In Year Admissions if you are looking for a new grammar school at other times.
Note: Under the Data Protection Act, Schedule 7, Section 9, candidates do not have the right to see their test papers once they have been handed in. The Freedom of Information Act does not override the Data Protection Act in this matter. However, KCC officers are happy to check scores.
Headteacher Assessment (HTA)
OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL APRIL AND SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS THROUGH THE IN YEAR ADMISSION PROCESS WHO WILL ARRANGE TESTING (Contact KCC admissions to confirm process).
A total of 26% out of the whole cohort of children living in Kent were found selective for 2018 entry. The proportion of children in the west of the county taking the tests is lower than in the east, whilst the proportion passing is higher. You will find comprehensive statistics here.
- Six Kent grammar schools also offer places through their own tests. These are: Dover Grammar School for Boys; Dover Grammar School for Girls; Folkestone School for Girls; The Harvey Grammar School, Folkestone; Highsted Grammar, Sittingbourne; and Mayfield Grammar School, Gravesend. Eligibility for admission depends on success at either the school's own test or the Kent Test, although if the school is oversubscribed, as happened with all five of the six schools for 2018 entry (Highsted having eight vacancies after expanding provision by 30 places), places are awarded through the oversubscription criteria which do not take into account which test was passed to achieve eligibility.
- The following schools will offer some or all of their places to the highest scoring applicants. You need to read the oversubscription criteria to determine the rules: Dartford Grammar School, Dartford Grammar School for Girls, Judd School, Maidstone Grammar School,Rochester Grammar School (Girls), Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, Skinners School, Tonbridge Grammar School (Girls). For some of these you will not know the pass mark before applying, although there is guidance elsewhere on this website (use the search engine or go to Individual Schools). Depending on the school, the mark may only be determined by the scores of those applying and will become public in March 2018 when decisions are announced.
- You will also find links to Medway Test outcomes and Review statistics for 2018 entry.

How does WOLVERINE: ORIGINS differ from Logan's current series? Marvel Editor Axel Alonso chomps at the bit to spill his guts to curious readers: "Well, as we all know, in the aftermath of HOUSE OF M, Logan has regained his memory. He knows his past -- all of it. Armed with a clearer sense of who he is, why he is, and who done him wrong, Logan's got a whole new set of priorities. WOLVERINE: ORIGINS will see Logan don his brown costume and embark on a private mission to set wrongs right, get some revenge, deal with some demons, rekindle some lost relationships, and come to terms with major revelations about the complicated tapestry of his origin...and the patterns he seems doomed to repeat."

Personally I've decided I'm never going to sell my collection. I'm just going to give them to my son when he is old enough to take care of them.
Your collection sounds really good and I'm sure you will find a buyer quickly. I'm interested but I don't have the cash to buy out a collection.
He is still Canadian He grew up on a farm in Alberta. His birth name is James Howlett.
Writer Daniel Way and artist Steve Dillon, known for BULLSEYE: GREATEST HITS, PUNISHER VS BULLSEYE, and SUPREME POWER: NIGHTHAWK, will reunite for WOLVERINE: ORIGINS #1...and beyond.
WOLVERINE: ORIGINS, premiering this April, will detail Logan/Wolverine's quest to set his past into order and fulfill a list of personal priorities. In the aftermath of HOUSE OF M, he knows his origins completely but wants to explore that history and perhaps relive some of it. The new series promises revenge, validation, passion, and not a little globe-trotting.
Daniel Way, one of Marvel's Ten Terrific writers, had a strong reaction when first offered the book. "When it was decided that I would be allowed to continue my story of Logan's past and future in a brand-new series, free from any entanglements with the various upcoming crossovers, I...well, as geeky as it sounds, I was honored. This is one of Marvel's top two characters, so getting the green light to go ahead meant a great deal to me. I'm confident, however, that I'll nail this one-I've been laying out the story for over a year now, cross-checking facts, keeping an eye on continuity, networking with other writers...in short, I've done my homework. To tell you the truth, I feel like the cat that ate the canary because only I and three other people on the planet know where this is all going...but only I know how it's going to get there."

HAHAHAHA that girl was full of crap, because it hurts way more now.
Every time I stand up I swear bad swears in my head. "Great Cesar's Ghost!" I say, only not that. I do not know who is sneaking into my house and beating my lower back with a 4" pipe, and why on earth I am not noticing during the commission, but it needs to stop. Walking is the worst joke. So is sitting. My own body is violating the Geneva Convention.
If you've had a baby you know the last couple weeks are physical torture. I don't know why it's such a surprise. You know that your insides will be squashed and pummeled. You know that your bladder will experience sudden, crushing pain. You know that staying in one position for more than 15 minutes will cause brutal debilitation and shocking torment. Yet, we still have babies, plural.
People ask how you are and you'll smile and say, "Tired," when the truth is that you're in physical agony. Mostly you want people to stop asking how you are, or if you are excited about the baby, or what the baby's name is.
1. You look fantastic.
2. Would you like to sit down?
3. Have a cookie.
Not on the list:
"You must be so done!"
"Hurts just looking at you!"
"Have you had that baby yet?"
"No, you cannot have Thai food."
(Yes, I can, and it had better have at least 3 stars or you're all fired.)
Bottoms up, all!

Staples Withstands Ridgefield Comeback To Win Class L Title In 5 Sets

Commentary: FCIAC Sports In 2016 Offered Welcome Reprieve From Outside World
If you have scanned your Twitter feed at any point during the past month, it is easy to see why there is a strong sentiment to give 2016 a swift kick into the rear-view mirror. Often this has been in response to the growing list of celebrity losses in the entertainment world; we have seen the deaths of an extraordinary number of performers with visionary talent, especially in the music world.
Photo Essay: Through The Lens With Austin Carfi

Commentary: For Another Spring, Darien Has Earned The Title 'Sports Town, USA'
For well over two decades now, once winter has morphed into spring, Darien has been known as Lacrosse Town, U.S.A., or some similar derivation. Children are given toy sticks not long after losing baby teeth, the youth programs are a model for success and both the boys and girls high school teams from this small tony town are no longer just state, but now regional and national powers as well.
But as Chris Manfredonia, the high school's athletic director, recently noted, Lacrosse Town is too limited in scope.
"We have a variety of strong programs from the youth to high school levels," Manfredonia said. "It's Sports Town, U.S.A.

Should We Upgrade to Windows 8
I guess I have two answers to that question.
We are frequently asked by our clients if they should be considering implementing Windows 8 within their company. Our default answer, at the moment, is definitely 'no'. The reasons for this are many, but largely revolve around the training / up skill requirements for people to work productively with the platform. Certainly, there are many benefits to Windows 8 – speed, security, new communication paths / social networking, built-in email / calendar / contact support for Microsoft Exchange (ie, no Outlook required if you don't want it), and integrated support for Microsoft's online services to name a few. But – at the end of the day, people need to be productive with their computers, and without some significant re-learning, they will be much less productive with Windows 8.
From a personal level – I definitely encourage upgrading, or at least purchasing the upgrade (if you aren't planning on buying a new computer in the near future, this is a significant deal). Personally, I think it is critically important to stay currant with as many of the major new technologies as possible. And, well – its fun! I have been using a Windows Mobile phone for several months (A Nokia Lumia 920) and love it. Yes, it has fewer apps than the Galaxy S III that I abandoned shortly after buying it, but that gap is closing. And, importantly, it is rock solid and totally integrated into social media channels. The same can be said for Windows 8, so it is a very engaging operating system. I am looking forward to purchasing a Microsoft Surface Pro when it is released at the beginning of February to better test Windows 8 on a purpose-built Intel-based touch screen device. More on that later!

The eight new Innovation Centres profiled in this special issue of Science Scotland are a welcome initiative, backed by a significant investment, which will hopefully breathe new life into traditional industries
Marine Science: Making waves
Most of us in Scotland find ourselves attracted to the sea and can reach the coast quite easily, so it is no surprise that Scottish history and culture are closely interwoven with maritime development and exploitation of marine resources.
Inside geoscience
The 'modern' study of the Earth began in Scotland, and one name and work are irrevocably associated with that "new" science: James Hutton and his Theory of the Earth, first published by the Royal Society of Edinburgh in the 1780s. This issue of Science Scotland confirms that the geosciences continue to play a major role in Scottish science, society and the economy ....

This issue of Science Scotland is dedicated to highlighting engineering and informatics successes where Scotland-based research, technology or new knowledge has transferred into successful innovative companies.
The search for new drugs
If there is one thing we can be sure of, it is that the human population will continue to suffer from disease and that we will need new, smarter, more tailored drugs to treat them.
This issue of Science Scotland focuses on searching for new drugs to improve treatment of existing diseases, as well as to explore opportunities of addressing treatment of diseases which have suffered from lack of attention up until now.
This issue of Science Scotland focuses on some of the research challenges for Computing Science and Informatics, and advances made by researchers in these areas across Scotland.
The main focus of the issue is on the Scottish Informatics and Computing Science Alliance (SICSA), a collaboration of over 200 researchers in Scottish Universities.
The last two articles cover advances in two other, related organisations: the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) and the Scottish Bioinformatics Forum (SBF).
Towards a Greener Future
This issue of Science Scotland highlights several very different projects which promise to contribute to a more energy-friendly future and reduce CO2 emissions – in Scotland and beyond.

Electronics in Scotland is a vibrant and dynamic industry, and a significant contributor to the Scottish economy. It also offers exciting career opportunities for recent graduates in engineering, maths and physics.
There is nothing more compelling than a visual image and it is no coincidence that the most massive processing system in the human brain is the visual cortex.
Energy policies and solutions for the future must meet the needs of a global population that continues to make increasing demands on diminishing energy resources, whilst seeking to limit environmental impact
This issue of Science Scotland, a showcase for Scotland's scientific creative talent, illustrates well how the contest to sequence the human genome was a race to a starting line, not to a finishing post.
Scottish research is going from strength to strength. Innovative ideas are flourishing here, supported by initiatives like the Proof of Concept Fund, Enterprise Fellowships from Scottish Enterprise/RSE and the Scottish Coinvestment fund. The energies of highly skilled scientists who are the future of our research base and in turn, our economy, are being nurtured and harnessed.

Alyson Stoner Talks 'Step Up 5', Music & More with Zooey Mag
Alyson Stoner shows off some bangs in her new feature with Zooey magazine.
The 20-year-old actress and singer opened up about falling back in love with dance, her role in Step Up 5 and more. Check it:
On falling in love with dance all over again: "Recently, I saw the rigidity and restriction of my own method, so I stopped learning choreography and undertook free styling, learning from street dancers with raw passion. It's as though I've fallen in love with dance all over again, and this time I can love it back."
On her music styling: "I'll continue to study music from all genres and eras. I particularly admire Janet's [Jackson] production circa early 2000s, and Justin Timberlake's versatility on stage."
On Camille in Step Up 5: "People change and grow. Expect a different side of Camille at the forefront of her relationship to/with Moose [Adam Sevani]."

text: 24 June 2011Star of ITV2's The Only Way is Essex, Chloe Simms, has revealed that she wants more cosmetic surgery. The 29-year-old has already had breast enlargement surgery and revealed in the latest series of the reality television show that she is considering a return to the cosmetic surgery clinic to get bigger breast implants.Simms said: "I'm the oldest member of the TOWIE cast - apart from Nanny Pat, of course! I'm almost 30 now, so I think if I want to have a bit of Botox then I will, and if I want to have some liposuction done in a year's time then that's fine, too. "I'm going to carry on having work done until I'm completely happy with my body because I think you should love the way you look." Simms is not alone in her love of plastic surgery – at least five of her fellow TOWIE cast members have had breast implants and others admit to trying Botox.
