Falls and prevention
01 July 2011
New Social Care TV film on early intervention
I can push my hoover around now; I couldn't before. I used to do it once a week; now I can do it every other day like I used to do it. And these girls here are absolutely brilliant. They always help me as much as they can and I love them to bits.Mavis, in the Social Care TV film Prevention: Early Intervention.
A new film is being released looking at how falls can cause great anxiety for older people – and how to prevent them happening. The falls prevention scheme shown in the film highlights how a person's confidence can be boosted and their independence maintained. The film has been made by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE).
The film shows a number of people who describe how they are benefitting from the falls prevention service and related exercise classes. Physiotherapists also work with people to adjust the home environment so that they can achieve improvements, such as being able to wash independently, move around the house safely and reduce anxiety. For some, this means a reduction in the need for ongoing care.
Case study – Cambridgeshire
In the film, Mavis explains how she has been supported to reduce the risk of her falling. It's important that health and social care services work together to support people like Mavis. With the help of her GP, she sought help from the local community services team.
Mandy Hill is a specialist from Cambridgeshire Falls Prevention Service. She says:
People fall for a variety of reasons. It can be simple environmental factors, for instance, how they can manage to get up their stairs or how they can go out in the garden. A lot of people fall when they are putting their washing out, so it is about teaching and trying to find easier ways for those functional activities to be achieved.
Mandy goes on to say that all her staff work in the community, as well as in the hospital rehab and falls unit. So, she says, their skills are flexible and can be transferred into community settings. The model can be set up in a sheltered housing complex, in a GP annexe, or in any community centre.
SCIE and prevention
This is SCIE's second film about prevention. The first looks at Reablement, which concentrates on supporting people to learn – or re-learn – everyday tasks such as washing, cleaning and climbing the stairs, so that they can perform these tasks on their own. SCIE has also Research Briefing on reablement. This examines evidence about the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of this relatively new approach.
SCIE's Director of Adult Services, David Walden, says:
These two films look at how providing the right support at the right time can help to keep people at home, living as independently as possible. We also know that hospital care is very expensive and not always the best option for older people. So any strategy that helps avoid admissions has to be welcomed; it's good for the people using the services and can save on valuable resources.
Policy Context
The Dilnot Commission reported in early July, looking at the long-term funding of care in England. SCIE responded to the report by saying that funding issues are important, as is the need for the provision of quality services. It is clear from the report that it is going to be vital that people who use services get good quality information about those services. This area of work will be increasingly important for SCIE, as the organisation will be able to draw on its knowledge, skills and commitment in this area.

You may have heard recently in the news about how six lions wandered out of the Nairobi National Park in Kenya and walked around residential areas for quite a long time, apparently in search of some new scenery.
Despite perhaps terrifying a few people who came across them, no harm was done to humans or cats, and they were finally tracked down back in the park, where they had apparently walked back by themselves, and that was the end of that. Below are 30 interesting facts about Kenya that are worth mentioning.
Interesting facts about tourism in Kenya
#1. Starting with the tourist attractions, which, perhaps, have put the country into the international limelight, one cannot fail to acknowledge the beauty and uniqueness of Kenya's game parks and reserves. These parks and reserves cover thousands of acres of lands, allowing the game animals to freely roam.
#2. Some of the most frequently visited parks include the Nairobi National Park, Tsavo Game Reserve, Maasai Mara Game Reserve and Amboseli National Park, among others.
#3. Any person coming on safari will enjoy a view of animals that cannot be found in other places: lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, gazelles, wildebeests, leopards and cheetahs, among others.
#4. Another characteristic thing about Kenya is its fantastic sights. Anybody visiting Kenya will surely notice some unique scenes and places. Among them are places like the Fourteen Falls in Thika, which is ranked among the longest and steepest falls in East Africa.
#5. There are also some scenes that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. As one travels to Machakos city, there is a certain step portion of the highway that seems to defy gravity: things normally go upward instead of downward. This place has remained a mystery, and even Sir Isaac Newton himself would be shocked to find that his theory can, after all, be rebutted.
#6. Another mysterious scene is the Crying Stone in Kakamega. As one approaches this town from Kisumu city, there is a unique, tall stone, around seven feet, that produces a streak of water that makes it appear like it is crying. The droplets of water, which local scientists have failed to understand, normally appear like tears.
#7. And then there are the coastal towns of Mombasa, Malindi and Kilifi, which harbor some of the most interesting views in the world. Mombasa is an old town first developed by the Portuguese during the 19th century. Perhaps the oldest and most unique building is the famous Fort Jesus, a sanctuary used by the Portuguese for protection during siege.
#8. Mombasa is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, making it one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The city is normally frequented by many visitors, not just because of its beauty but also for business opportunities.
#9. Kenya is also covered by forests, making it one of the greenest countries in the world. Some of the largest rain forests include the Mau, Burnt Forest and Kakamega Forest.
#10. Some of the forests, especially Kakamega, have some of the rarest breeds of butterflies and snakes that cannot be found in many other places.
#11. A good portion of land in Kenya is covered by a mass of water. Apart from the Indian Ocean at the coast, Kenya has several lakes, both freshwater and salty. Some of these lakes include Lake Victoria, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Lake Bogoria, among others. The country also has many rivers, making it possible for visitors to travel by boat instead of cars.
#12. Apart form the game reserves and parks, other tourist attractions include mountains and unique terrain. Some of these mountains include Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kenya and Mt. Elgon. When it comes to unique terrain, the country boasts Hell's Gate and the Aberdares ranges.
Facts about Kenyan people; their culture, tradition and social life
#13. Social life in Kenya also accounts for one of the most interesting facts. Unlike most other places in the world, where people are normally unconcerned about others, social life in this country is tied to companionship, hospitality, kindness and a willingness to help. This is, perhaps, what makes visitors want to come back again and again.
#14. The kind nature of the Kenyan people might be attributed to the setting and structures of families and communities. In Kenya, a child is brought up by the community and the society at large, and not just the family members alone. This makes it easy for people to develop feelings of concern and helpfulness towards others, strangers or not.
#15. The culture of the Kenyan people is also unique. Although a fast-developing country, Kenyans are conservative and reserved about their culture. However, that does not mean that they are not diversified.
Read: facts about Uganda
#16. The Kenyan people can compromise some of their daily routines and beliefs just to accommodate people from other cultural backgrounds. However, visitors must also acknowledge and respect the locals' way of life for good coexistence.
#17. When it comes to maintaining time, Kenyans are not that bad, but five- or even ten-minute delays are to be expected. Any visitor scheduled to meet a Kenyan should know that delaying for a few minutes is never considered being late: it is normal!
#18. Greetings in Kenya are a fabric of their social and cultural life. Whenever people meet, irrespective of whether they are acquaintances, they must greet each other, either through a raised hand, thumbs up or even the use of the most common words, "Habari yako."
Flag of Kenya
Facts about food and fashion
#19. When it comes to food, the staple meal in Kenya is a delicacy known as "ugali." This is a meal made from flour; it can be maize, sorghum or even millet. The delicacy is normally accompanied by stew and is enjoyed by many visitors, including President Obama in his recent visit.
#20. Another interesting fact about Kenya is its people's fashion. Although it is very common to find Kenyans wearing Western clothes, their own way of dressing is distinct. When visiting this country, one cannot fail to notice a red/pink/maroon piece of clothing commonly referred to as "Maasai Shuka" around people's shoulders/waists/necks.
#21. Inasmuch as there is no uniform footwear among the Kenyan people, there is no doubt that Sahara Boots and sandals, for both men and women, are the most commonly worn shoes around the country.

The brief summary:
-We need to start worrying about currency depreciation and inflation, although deflation is more likely over the next 6 months.
-Interest rates will likely be much, much higher in 5 years. A deflationary shock is likely to send them lower first, but we can start to slowly
scale into a short treasury position as a long-term strategy.
-Fundamentals of the EU are worse than ever, but there is now coordinated support by central banks for the Euro, so it may ignore fundamentals for the next couple of years. I
have fully closed my short Euro position.
The whole story and specific recommendations:
18 months ago the US unleashed unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus. A lot of pundits predicted severe inflation in short order, and the destruction of the dollar. Students of past credit crises knew better and understood that the decrease in bank lending and the drop in the velocity of money would offset the money printing, at least for a little while. Since then, inflation has been tame. Most commodities are roughly unchanged, the official measure of inflation (CPI) is up about 2%, 10-year treasury rates are near their lows at 3.4%, and the dollar basket is unchanged.
So far so good. However, the money printing will eventually have an impact, possibly even causing hyperinflation. The inflationary phase of the cycle has drawn much nearer with Europe's announcement of $1 trillion of monetary and fiscal stimulus.
In the early 1930s, countries around the world engaged in competitive devaluation. The idea is that by devaluing our currency, our exports become more competitive which reduces unemployment. The problem is that currencies are a zero sum game. Our devaluation is another country's appreciation. This means we're effectively just shipping our unemployment overseas. Other countries don't like that, so they devalue their currency in turn. This leads to cycles of competitive devaluation. Competitive devaluation may lead to very severe inflation, or, if the economy is sufficiently weak, it may simply lead to extreme depreciation.
What would extreme depreciation without inflation look like? The prices of everything would go up, but wages would lag. Inflation is a cycle that is led by wage growth. If there is sufficient unemployment, labor has little negotiating power so they can't get significant wage increases. So for example, prices might rise by 50% while wages only rise 15%. We are all effectively much poorer.
I believe that extreme depreciation (with or without inflation) is a near certainty. The tricky question is when. If we have another deflationary shock to the system, there would likely be another flight to the dollar and another wave of deleveraging which would actually cause prices to drop. In the absence of such a shock, I believe we would get significant depreciation (and price increases) within one year. My best guess is that we will see a shock and therefore the depreciation is a couple of years away, but I have no confidence in the timing.
It is very hard to profit from depreciation. Safe haven assets like gold tend to preserve wealth, but won't necessarily increase it. Moreoever, if we have a deflationary shock first, gold and other hard assets could plummet like they did at the end of 2008.
I believe the best way to position ourselves is to gradually scale into a long position in hard assets, hedged with short equities. Today, owning some gold is smart diversification. If we get a deflationary shock that sends gold down 25%, hard assets like gold, commodities, and real estate, will be very attractive purchases. So, begin to very slowly scale into owning hard assets, but make sure to leave plenty of cash to buy more on a deflationary shock. To be perfectly clear, my best guess is that hard assets fall over the next year, but I expect them to be a good purchase over the next decade. Given my uncertainty on the timing, it is prudent to begin scaling into a long position very slowly over the next few months.
There is no great way to wager on rising interest rates. It is very likely that interest rates will be much, much higher within 5 years. ETFs like TBT are terrible investment vehicles because they have massive hidden transaction costs. The best method I can think of is to short sell the long bond ETF TLT. The risk is that short selling may be banned on a severe market sell off, or the ETF could go "hard to borrow" which means your broker would start charging you outlandish interest to be short the ETF. A riskier and more sophisticated approach is to sell calls on TLT every few months.
There is coordinated worldwide support for the Euro by central banks. Coordinated currency interventions are rare, but usually very successful. The world supported the Euro in 2000 successfully and pushed up the Yen and the Mark versus the dollar in 1985. You can't fight central banks in the short-term. In the long-term the fundamentals will reassert themselves but it could be a long wait.

'Smart Urban Isles' Project Kicks Off
A new 3-year EU project that CyI is participating in and that started in May, plans to investigate, implement and validate energy neutral 'Smart Urban Isles' (SUI) in urban planning.
Based on a three-cornerstone procedure, the project aims at a whole new urban planning that allows cities to grow in a more sustainable way. An innovative concept for city planning will be investigated, where cities are arranged and grow encircling small integrated areas. The project will involve Municipalities such as SantaCruz de Tenerife, Amsterdam, Winterthur, Zurich, Limassol, Iasi, Granada, Güssing (through ecoEnergyLand).
The CyI research team is composed of Prof. N. Papanicolas as the Project Coordinator, Prof. Despina Serghides as the Project Leader, and Stella Dimitriou as an Assistant Researcher.

Gardner (1993, p. 143) describes logical/mathematical intelligence as "the ability to recognize significant problems and then to solve them." A mathematician seems to "sense a solution, or a direction, long before they have worked out each step in detail" (Gardner, 1993, p. 143). This definition suggests powerful reasoning ability. It also indicates that mathematical knowledge reaches far beyond a memorization of facts and algorithms.
Mathematical intelligence involves a process. A problem must be identified, recognized as something worth solving, an algorithm is then identified and/or created, and a solution is attempted. Intelligence in this area requires a true understanding of how mathematics and logic work in the real world, in everyday life. Understanding the why in mathematics truly indicates an understanding of mathematic processes.
The National Council for the Teaching of Mathematics (NCTM) defines mathematics as the attainment of mathematical power. "Mathematical power includes the ability to explore, conjecture, and reason logically; to solve nonroutine problems; to communicate about and through mathematics; and to connect ideas within mathematics and between mathematics and other intellectual activity. Mathematical power also involves the development of personal self-confidence and a disposition to seek, evaluate, and use quantitative and spatial information in solving problems and in making decisions" (NCTM, 1989, p. 1). Mathematical power instills confidence and certainty. Mathematical power allows the child to develop, create, and control numerical thought processes. The NCTM (1989) has identified thirteen curricular standards that help children gain mathematical power. The standards are applicable to children from kindergarten to fourth grade. Learning these key mathematical concepts helps the child develop mathematical power, which creates the necessary foundation for mathematical intelligence.
The standards include the following mathematical concepts:
- Problem Solving
- Communication
- Reasoning
- Connections
- Estimation
- Number Sense and Numeration
- Whole Number Operations
- Whole Number Computation
- Geometry and Spatial Sense
- Measurement
- Statistics and Probability
- Fractions and Decimals
- Patterns and Relationships
Concepts taken from the curriculum standards in Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School, NCTM, 1989

Looking for some easy and effective running stretches to utilize in your daily routine? Well you've found the right place, as we break down the 12 favorite stretches for women athletes!
We have broken down our stretches into four major groups: Legs, Arms, Back, and Abs. Check out each section for pictures and helpful descriptions to ensure you are conducting your stretches properly.
As with all workout routines, please consult with your doctor to ensure you are of proper health and physically capable of performing these techniques.
Best Leg Stretches for Women
Your legs are the hardest working part of your body when you are running. Check out these leg stretch techniques to ensure you get the most out of your run. Even if you don't normally stretch when running, its important to try to incorporate one if not all of the below leg stretch techniques to avoid injury.
#1- Calf Stretch:
I will often do this stretch before and after my runs just to warm up my calves. It comes down to personal preference, really, but its a nice way to warm up your calf muscles, without going into a deep stretch.
1. For this exercise you will need to find a nearby wall, bench or lamp post to use for resistance. Standing in front of your resistance object, place your right toes three inches high, while keeping your heel on the ground.
2. Press through your heel until you feel a deep stretch in your calf. Hold this position for 15 seconds before switching legs.
#2- Standing Quad Stretch:
I also do this stretch before and after my run because it doesn't have to be too deep. Be careful when you are using this stretch that you don't force it, or pull your foot too much. Allow yourself to feel the stretch in your quad, but not to cause discomfort.
1. This exercise will may also require a wall or post for balance. But, if you have a strong core, you should be find standing alone.
2. With your right hand, grab your right ankle and pull towards your buttocks.
3. Make sure that your hips and core are straight by making sure your knees are lined up. Hold this position for 15 seconds before switching legs.
#3- Hamstring Stretch:
Hamstrings play such an important role in your stride, and tend to shorten or become less flexible after many years of running. Make sure to stretch these muscles often to avoid injury or strain.
Many runners complain of tight hamstrings after a workout. Stretching this muscle can alleviate this problem, and prevent further injury. Tight hamstrings can cause lower back pain, muscle tears, and joint pain.
1. While laying on your back, raise one leg as high as you can, keeping the knee straight.
2. For a deeper stretch, pull your leg towards your body with your hands.
3. Hold your leg in this position for 15 seconds, before switching legs.
To avoid injury, it's important to not allow your lower back to arch, and raise off of the ground.
#4- Butterfly (Inner Thigh & Groin Stretch):
This is one of my favorite stretches because it works your groin and inner thighs – muscles that few stretches can relieve. With this stretch, make sure to find a good steady position to hold, instead of bouncing your knees.
1. While sitting on the floor, bend your knees, and press your two feet together in front of you.
2. Grab both feet with your hands, and press both knees downward towards the floor.
3. For a deeper stretch, lean forward over your feet. Hold this exercise for 15 seconds.
Best Arm Stretches for Women
Arm stretch techniques for runners? Believe it or not, it's true! Your arms play an important role in every run. They are needed to maintain balance and to keep your momentum while propelling you down that path.
It is important to keep your arms engaged throughout the entire run. You definitely count on them when you get tired to keep your stride in check.
So while these stretches may not be the first thing to come to your mind after a jog, try out these two techniques and you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.
#5- Arm Pull Across Chest:
This is a common stretch, used by athletes in many sports. You not only get a good shoulder stretch, but will also work the muscles in your back and your neck.
1. While standing, bring your right arm across your chest and point to the left.
2. Use your left arm to pull your right elbow across your body, holding with steady pressure.
3. Hold this exercise for 15 seconds before switching arms and repeating.
#6- Tricep Stretch:
Another oldie but goodie. Watch any race and you may catch the athletes doing this exact tricep stretch. It is great for the back of your arms, shoulders, and upper back. Do this stretch and feel the stress exit.
1. Reach your right arm above your head, bend your elbow, reaching your hand towards your back.
2. Use your left hand to easily pull your right elbow backwards, feeling the stretch.
3. Breathing slowly, hold this for 15 seconds, releasing the tension in your arms, back and shoulders.
4. Release your arms and repeat on the other side.
Best Back Stretches for Women
Do you suffer from a tight lower back when running? Luckily, I follow these back stretch techniques to ease my pain and ensure I get the most out of my run.
Tight back muscles can lead to many other issues such as sore legs and hips. Below, I have listed three of my favorite stretches for the lower back to get rid of that that balled-up stress.
#7- Child's Pose (Lower Back Stretch):
This exercise will relax and stretch your back muscles, but also offer some relief to your glutes, quads, and thighs.
1. While kneeling on all fours, sit back on your heels, allowing the rest of your body to sink forward.
2. Relax your upper body toward your knees, and keep your arms reaching out straight in front of you on the floor.
3. Hold this pose for 15 seconds.
4. For an extra stretch, turn over onto your back, and hug your knees to your chest. You can either rock backwards and forwards in this position for a spine massage, or hold a static position for 15 seconds.
#8- Butt & Lower Back Stretch
Though this stretch is slightly more challenging, it is an great if you are looking for a really deep stretch for your butt and lower back.
1. While laying on your back, bend your right leg at the knee, cross in front of the left leg, with your ankle resting right above the left knee.
2. Raise your left foot that is still on the ground, so that you may grab the back of your left leg with your arms, and intertwine your hands.
3. For a deeper stretch, pull your legs towards you. Hold this position for 15 seconds before switching legs.
#9- Yoga-Inspired Butt & Lower Back Stretch
This stretch instantly became one of my favorites in my yoga practice, and naturally migrated into my post-run stretching routine. The key is not to force your knee to far to the ground, and to maintain deep breaths while holding the position.
1. Lay flat on your back and extend your left leg. Bring your right knee to your chest.
2. Place your left hand on your right knee, and slowly rotate your knee towards the ground.
3. For a deeper stretch, extend your right arm flat on the ground and turn your head to look at your fingers. Hold this position for 15 seconds before switching sides.
Best Abs Stretches for Women
After a good run, chances are we also had an excellent abdominal workout . Try these simple abs stretch techniques to speed up your recovery time.
By using these exercises regularly, you will reduce muscle soreness the next day. This also allows you to elongate the muscle fibers, keeping you lean and strong.
The following are my three favorite abs stretch techniques. Each one is easy to do, does not require you to lay on the ground, and will definitely give you a great stretch. When executing the stretch, go only to the point of sensation, and release the stress and tightness you are holding.
#10- Oblique Stretch:
Your oblique abs are the muscles on your side underneath your rib cage. I definitely feel soreness in this region after a long run and make sure I do the following:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your left arm hanging by your left side.
2. Reach your right hand over your head, pointing your fingers, andcurling towards your left side.
3. Tilt your head to look at your fingers, and feel the sweet burn in your obliques.
4. Hold for 15 seconds before switching sides and repeating.
#11- Cobra Pose:
This exercise feels awesome right after doing some crunches. Since you will be laying on your stomach, look for some dry grass nearby, or wait until you get home.
1. While laying face-down with your legs shoulder-width apart, place your hands on the floor beneath your shoulders.
2. Push up with your arms, raising your upper torso off of the floor, arching your back, and looking towards the sky.
3. If you are feeling exceptionally strong, lift your knees off the ground and support yourself on the tops of your feet. You should feel a deep stretch in your abs.
4. Breathe slowly and hold for 15 seconds.
#12- Upward Salute:
I learned this pose in yoga, and it has stuck with me for good reason. This is a great stretch for your whole midsection and will leave you feeling invigorated!
1. Standing erect, raise both arms straight above your head, interlocking your fingers.
2. Begin to slowly reach backward behind your head until you feel the stretch.
3. Hold this pose for 15 seconds, release the hands and return them to your side.
With these stretches in hand, go and grab one of our free training schedules, and have a fabulous workout!!

This candlemas assembly idea is an assembly based on the notion of sharing, and how very few things that can be shared become more as you do so. Details of the assembly or short talk/sermon for candlemas are below. I have also provided images at the foot of the page which link to larger versions and can be downloaded and used free of charge in a powerpoint. If you find this idea useful, please forward the link on to others by twitter or facebook, or even common or garden email! And why not join the rss/email feed so that you don't miss a future idea?
Candlemas is the celebration of Jesus' presentation at the temple (Luke 2.21-38), traditionally a time when candles were blessed, this is one of the oldest and important feasts of the church's liturgical year after the fixed times of Easter/advent etc., referred to in "the study of liturgy" (published by SPCK) as a dependent feast (1992,p.469): dependent in this case on the place of Christmas.
Initially it was a thanksgiving for the end of a plague on 2Feb 542AD. Candlemas procession was first recorded at Constantinople from 602, and accepted at Rome shortly afterwards.
Presumably the context rests on the hymn of Simeon in Luke 2:32
29 "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you may now dismiss your servant in peace.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel."
I am indebted to my Tutor, Rev Peter Shepherd, who got my brain whirring on this one. [square brackets] indicate [stage directions and comments].
20 clear plastic cups, 10 upright candles, preferably with little circles of card around the lower part to protect from wax drips, lighter. And permission from the teacher leading the assembly to allow 10 year 6 children to hold the candles and light them from one another. A jug of water – I used a plastic milk bottle. Optional: a slide or powerpoint with an adapted version of John 3.16
'For God so loved the world that he gave his Son, Jesus, so that everyone who believed in him would live with God for ever.'*
[As usual I ham the introduction up a lot, playing parts and changing voices. I have provided the bare bones so that you can use your own style.] Introduce the assembly by explaining that when you were small you were always told to share. Share your sweets, though you never wanted to (you would then have less). Share your crisps…share your toys with your brother or sister. Sharing toys actually means not playing with them yourself unless you break them up into little pieces!
Doing maths in school you often have to do 'divide by sums.' When my mum was at school it used to be called 'shared by,' which was very confusing for me. But it's true, you share the numbers out. So 9 shared by 3 is? 12 shared by 4 is? But when it comes to 10 shared by 3, er, well….You put that in a calculator and you get 3.33333333…ERROR. Even calculators don't like sharing sometimes…
But there are two things that can be shared which, as you share them, get more. Or at least don't get less.
[give the children a moment or two to discuss what it might be]
Ok, let's have a competition.
[bring to the front two teams of 10 children, have them stand on the left and right of the hall at the front in two lines, running across so they can all be seen. Give each of them a plastic cup. Explain the following instructions]
In a moment I am going to half fill the cup at one end of the line. You then pass the water in the cup along the line to the other end. However, you must make sure that you have enough water left in your own cup to be able to swill it around a bit – just a tiny drop isn't enough. The winning team is either the team who gets the water to go furthest down the line, or the team with the most in the end cup. If however someone earlier in the line has an empty cup because they gave all their contents away the whole team is disqualified. You have one minute to play the game…go!
[after a minute choose the winning team, losing team sits down]
[Ask the rest of the children if they have worked out what can be shared yet? I was given the answer love – it gets more as you share it around (not strictly true as you cannot quantify it, but it certainly doesn't get less!)]
[Give the winning team the 10 candles and light the first one and tell them to pass the light along, you have until all the candles have been lit to explain the following – about 2 minutes or so. Don't worry that the children are watching the candles being lit not you, they are still listening.]
Notice how just one candle gives some light, but as the light is passed along it gets more, not less. Candlemas is a time in the church's year when we remember Jesus being brought to the temple so that Mary and Joseph could thank God for him. At that time there was an old man there called Simeon, and when he saw Jesus he lifted him up high and said thank you to God for him because he would bring light to the world, showing the way to God, just like if you had a torch on a dark night on a road the light from the torch shows you the way.
And in the same way that you can share light, God shared his love with the world by giving us his only son Jesus so that we could get to know how much God loves us, and then to share that love with other people.
[Read together the words from the optional powerpoint if you want to]
[Finish by thanking God for sharing his love with us, for giving us the light of Jesus so that we can get to know Father God, and ask him to help us to share with others what we have when they ask.]
Additional resources and ideas.
I produce colour cartoons and colour illustrations on a regular basis. A while back I produced a series of images for Scripture Union which I can now share with you. Please do feel free to download and use them in powerpoints or whatever. If you do make use of them, please let me know, and perhaps consider joining the email list for assembly-ideas (link at the top of the screen). There is no charge to use the pictures.
An idea I suggested to Peter was to use the pictures by printing them all off together onto half an A4 page – so two sets of small pictures per page. Cut them up into individual pictures, and put each set into an envelope, and have enough sets for one set to about 6 children/adults in your congregation or assembly. Use colour printing if you can. Tell the story more thoroughly than I have
detailed here, and when you have finished, or perhaps at another moment in the service, give out the envelopes and have everyone retell the story to one another using the pictures provided. This will secure the story in their heads and make it their own. You could even provide a copy of Simeon's hymn too.
For a song use 'this little light of mine' jazzed up – it's miserable if played slowly!
*to explain the 'would not die, but have eternal life' would take far too long to explain in this context!

"I'm Calling to Let You Know That You May Have Been Exposed to Gonorrhea"
In the annals of uncomfortable conversations that most people hope never to have, "calling your exes to tell them you have an STI" ranks at least in the top five. Luckily, for the taxpaying citizens of eastern Washington, help is on the way. As reported by NPR, the Spokane Regional Health District has instituted a program where, if you test positive for a sexually transmitted infection, their social workers will do the hard work of finding your former sex partners and calling them to let them know they've been exposed to this disease. One worker, Anna Halloran, described the process:
"So I'll ask, 'Is this Jessica?' " Halloran says. "And then I would ask your birthday, and if that matches what I have, I would say, 'I'm calling from the Spokane Regional Health District. And I'm calling to let you know that you may have been exposed to gonorrhea.'
"And then, I would pause for a little bit," says Halloran. "Then I would ask what the person I'm talking to knows about gonorrhea."
This program is fantastic and needs to be instituted everywhere immediately. This is a clear-cut example of the taxpayers really getting their money's worth from government programs. Indeed, why stop at the STI discussion? Why not have social workers on hand to conduct all sorts of unpleasant conversations for you? Do you have a colleague whose personal hygiene needs to be addressed? Want to explain to your parents why you can't make it home for every single holiday? Don't know how to tell your kid that Skippy the dog did not actually go live with a nice farmer in the country? You're a taxpaying citizen! Let the government handle that one for you.
Oh sure, we can already hear the protestations from our friends on the right, whose fanatical devotion to some abstract notion of "personal responsibility" is such that they'd rather everyone get the clap than spare a single person from making an unpleasant phone call. Sadly for them, the experts with all their "research" and "experience" have an answer for that concern.
Now, you might be wondering: Shouldn't it be the patient's job to notify ex-partners?
"People don't necessarily do that," says Jocelyn Warren, a public health researcher at Oregon State University. Studies show that couples — especially young couples — don't communicate about their sexual histories. (Surprise, surprise!) And telling an ex about an STD infection can be especially "difficult," Warren says.
All jokes aside, infectious diseases don't care if you've reached a point of emotional maturity where you can tackle life's more difficult conversations with aplomb. Having a third party make the phone call you may not be able to make yourself is a simple, effective way of preventing people who may have infectious diseases from infecting more people. Half of new STI infections are among Americans ages 15-24, an age where having these kinds of loaded conversations is especially difficult. Good for Spokane, and let's hope this program spreads across the country faster than chlamydia.

The 50-year-old actor jetted off to Cabo San Lucas with girlfriend Stacy Keibler and a few friends for fun in the sun. George relaxed in a shirt and blue shorts, while Stacy, 32, donned a black bikini, ripped denim shorts and a fedora hat. The Descendants star was all smiles as he sipped on a beer and chatted with his friends.
Two weeks ago, the Oscar nominee, along with 17 others including the actor's dad Nick, were arrested in Washington D.C. during a protest outside the Sudanese embassy. The group was later released from jail for $100 each.
The actor's rep Stan Rosenfield told Celebuzz: i"They were protesting the violence committed by the government of Sudan on its own innocent men, women and children. They were demanding they allow humanitarian aid into the country before it becomes the largest humanitarian crisis in the world."

Love is universal. It is blind. It transcends language. How do you show your love?
Facebook: facebook.com/kienlamphotography
Twitter: twitter.com/kiendlam
This is a personal project of mine made for Valentine's Day to celebrate love wherever you are in the world regardless of whether you are 8 or 84. During my travels, I found that while the customs and mediums may have been different, the essence of love was similar no matter the country. I wanted to capture that in this video.
ATTENTION: If there's a beautiful saying in your language that you'd like to share, please post it on my facebook page at facebook.com/kienlamphotography. Please provide the phrase and a translation to English. I will be posting my favorites on my website kienlam.net as they appear. I know there are so many beautiful things that are written and spoken in other languages and I'd love to be able to share that with everyone.
Following my Time Is Nothing around-the-world video (vimeo.com/34400428), I wanted to give something back to all the friends I've met traveling and to everyone who has reached out to me from all around the world. I asked my brother, William Lam, to write me another song that would help give life to the video.

Acquire a digital system that automatically tracks employees' hours worked in real time, manages time off and computes total time worked. This saves managers countless hours versus a manual system such as a punch clock or paper time sheet. Ideally, the digital system should be accessible from anywhere, allowing personnel to track time even when they are out of the office.Continue Reading
Another important benefit of digital time and attendance systems is that they reduce entry errors. The more automated the clock in and out system is, the lower the chance of human error. Of course, users can still make mistakes so a solution that allows administrators to manually edit entries is valuable.
Time and attendance systems range from extremely simple solutions that just track hours worked to ones with much more comprehensive feature sets. Choosing the right amount of features is important. Smaller businesses with only a couple of hourly employees may want the most straightforward solution possible. However, larger operations can benefit greatly from more automation and integration with other systems such as payroll. Try to select an option that is streamlined enough for the business' current situation but also has features and expandability to meet needs that may arise in the near future.Learn more about Managing a Business

Virginia mothers may soon be able to breast-feed almost anywhere they want
RICHMOND, Va. — Mothers raising babies in Virginia live in just one of three states without a law that protects them while breast-feeding in public.
Under current Virginia law, mothers are protected to breast-feed while on state property, but nowhere else. That leaves some mothers feeling like they could legally be asked to leave a restaurant, theater or other business for refusing to cover-up while breast-feeding.
A new bill before the 2015 Virginia General Assembly would expand that area of protection for breast-feeding mothers to "any place where the mother is lawfully present."
"We need a law like this to protect women because even though I feel fine breast-feeding knowing that I'm not protected and I may be asked to leave, not every woman is going to make that choice," breast-feeding mother Hilary Scribner said. "In general, a law like this would be a great start to changing cultural norms, but really we have more to do."

The Grain and Grain Processing Information Site
The agricultural sector comprises small, mostly subsistence farm operations. In the past few years, agricultural development programs have helped improved productivity.
Agricultural policy.
Nigeria once was a major producer and exporter of tropical commodities such as cocoa and palm oil, but agriculture slipped in importance in the 1970s after oil became the dominant commodity. But domestic agriculture has been growing in the past two years as the sector regained a priority position among policy makers.
A six-year plan was adopted in 1994, followed by implementation funds in the 1995 budget. The plan contains a package of incentives designed to provide an enabling environment for a revival of agriculture after many years of neglect.
These include increases in capital allowances for equipment expenditures and reductions in import duties for agricultural machinery and chemicals.
Flour milling.
Although the import ban was lifted in 1993, millers have not had an easy time since. Foreign exchange shortages caused the government to enact strict controls, and millers were unable to obtain enough wheat to maintain adequate capacity utilization; in 1994, for instance, millers received only 7.5% of the foreign exchange requested to buy wheat.
After the foreign exchange regime was liberalized in 1995, expectations were that availability would increase. But exchange rates soared to 85 naira per U.S. dollar compared with the fixed rate of 22 naira, which translated into a 400% increase in wheat prices.
Flour millers raised wheat flour prices three times in 1995 to offset rising costs that were related not only to exchange rates, but also to higher international wheat prices and domestic inflationary pressures. From a price of about U.S.$7.90 per 50 kg in 1994, wheat flour prices increased to nearly U.S.$25 in 1995, and bread prices increased by more than 100% over the same period.
The increases came at a time when consumer purchasing power was under attack from stagnant incomes and spiraling inflation. Not surprisingly, bread sales declined in the wake of the price hikes, as many consumers substituted other dishes for bread.
These conditions caused havoc in the industry; capacity utilization in 1995 averaged only 10%, and many wheat flour millers were forced to move into maize milling.
Recent high prices have encouraged many farmers to return to wheat production. Millers, especially those in the north where wheat is grown, reportedly are encouraging this development with price guarantees.
But the poultry industry virtually collapsed in 1983 following the ban on maize and day-old chick imports. Over the years, domestic maize available for feed use has become increasingly scarce because of competing demand for human consumption and ever-increasing industrial use; consequently, most poultry operators either already have gone out of business or continually hover on the edge of bankruptcy.
The 1995 budget made some provisions that, if sustained, could assist in the sector's recovery. The budget reduced import tariffs to 5% on all premix components, vitamins, micro-nutrients and antibiotics, and the ban on the importation of day-old chicks was lifted to increase supplies.
Even before these provisions were implemented, livestock production had begun to stage a come-back, growing by 4.8% in 1994, compared with 1.4% the previous year. The growth was based on a 17.9% increase in the poultry sector resulting from a research breakthrough in the area of parent stock production. Output of beef, lamb, goat meat and pork also increased slightly.
A 15% duty applies to imported wheat, and rice duties in 1995 were cut to 50% from 100%. Following complaints by importers that the computation of duties at the fixed exchange rate was too high, the government granted an across-the-board rebate of 35% for duties on all imports.

Investigators, citing linguistic experts, said the book, by Muhammad Suleiman Ashkara, encouraged religious hatred. The court added that the book was discovered during a May 2011 raid at the Krasnoyarsk home of a man suspected of links to an extremist Islamic organization.
The book had not, however, been added to the Justice Ministry's extensive list of extremist materials as of Tuesday afternoon.
Russia's laws aimed at countering extremism were originally passed in 2002 and later amended in 2007. Originally introduced in a bid to curb promotion of nationalism and religious and sectarian hatred by fringe political groups, critics say the laws are often misused to put pressure on religious minorities or those who criticize the establishment.
Earlier this year, and specifically on February 6, a Kaliningrad court banned 16 works by Turkish scholar Said Nursi as extremist as well. A forensic "psychological-linguistic" examination determined that 14 books and two brochures with excerpts from the Risale-i Nur, a 6,000-plus-page collection about the Koran, written by Nursi serve to incite religious hatred and jeopardize the religious freedom of people who do not worship Islam.
The copies of the works by the 20-century Muslim theologian were discovered in an apartment in Kaliningrad. Russian news agencies say that the theologian is now suspected of organizing an extremist organization.
In its ruling, the court cited a 2008 Supreme Court ban on an extremist group called Nurjular (spelled Nurcular in Turkish), which used the works as a basis for its ideology. The banned works are now included in the Russian Justice Ministry's national register of extremist materials.

Teaneck, New Jersey, Saves Time and Money with Streamlined Meeting Management
Accela Makes It Easy to Organize, Distribute and Store Council Content
With a population of 39,776, Teaneck, New Jersey, was looking for direct access into key government decision-making. The township possessed an archaic agenda creation process that could take up to a week to organize. For this growing community, the lack of organization was creating a great deal of unnecessary work. A quick online search brought Accela Legislative Management to the attention of Jaime L. Evelina, RMC, Township Clerk. After receiving an informative demo, she decided to present the solution to the Township Council.
How Accela Empowers Teaneck
After moving forward with the implementation of Accela Legislative Management, the agency offered training to each new user. As they quickly came up to speed, the Township Clerk and her fellow Department Heads loved the convenience of accessing materials 24/7 from the office or home.
The solution has enabled Teaneck to simplify its agenda processes, shifting from an antiquated agenda creation process to Accela Legislative Management's intuitive agenda creation. With a few simple clicks, Evelina can easily update the agenda, and even convert the agenda outline into a minutes outline.
Accela Legislative Management is a great fit for the community as well. It has enabled Evelina and the Township Council to promote transparency for the public with its features. Meetings are now broadcast live, and legislation is easily accessible through Accela's portal, which is linked to the Township's website.
The Bottom Line
Accela Legislative Management has significantly reduced costs for Teaneck, New Jersey. The software has proven to be a cost-effective solution, saving the Township money on purchases of paper, ink and overtime. According to Evelina, "Not only has the technology provided by Accela resulted in sufficient cost savings, but it has assisted me with implementing a process...that is organized, time-managed, transparent and aesthetically pleasing to the eye with an executive format. It has even decreased the number of records requests received on a daily basis, as our agendas, minutes, videos and legislation are now accessible directly from our website, in an easily searchable database."
Saved staff time, which enabled them to focus on citizen-facing support
Reduced expenses on paper and video recordings

Jesse Heikkila loved superheroes and "Star Wars," and he dreamed of one day becoming a police officer. So when brain cancer ended the 7-year-old's life much, much too soon, police from far and wide came to pay their respects to the courageous wannabe crime fighter with a touching, blue-soaked tribute.
Jesse died Jan. 30 after a five-year battle with the disease. His obituary reads, in part:
Jesse loved his home where he would build Legos, play video games and swim in his pool. He also enjoyed dressing in costumes and would pretend to be Batman or a Jedi Knight. It was Jesse's dream to be a Police Officer one day to help catch all the bad guys. He adored his dogs; and joins his Doberman Vito and Yorkshire Terrier Vinny in heaven.
Hundreds attended the boy's funeral Wednesday at the St. Edith Stein Church in Brockton, Mass. In a heartbreaking nod to some of Jesse's favorite things, the organist played the theme from "Star Wars" as the casket left the church, and Jesse's uncle Brian Heikkila, a pallbearer, wore a Batman costume, The Enterprise reports.
Brian Heikkila, of Lakeville, dressed as Batman for Jesse T. Heikkila's funeral on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Batman was one of his nephew's favorite superheroes.
Local police officers also played a noticeable role in the tribute, with State Police escorting the funeral procession to the funeral plot, the Enterprise notes.
Police also came out in force for Jesse's wake on Tuesday night, converging on the funeral home in a "wave of blue," according to The Patriot Ledger. Officers from Middleboro, Bridgewater, Bridgewater State University, East Bridgewater, Plymouth County Sheriff's Department and Suffolk County Sheriff's Department, as well as troopers from the Middleboro, Norwell and Bourne barracks, attended in full dress.
In a final act of respect, Bridgewater Police Chief Christopher D. Delmonte made Jesse an honorary officer, the Ledger reports.
The police presence was due in large part to the efforts of Bridgewater officer Dawn Savery who had been following Jesse's battle with cancer on Facebook and put out a call to her fellow officers to make sure he had a good send-off.
"When I saw he wanted to be a police officer I made it my own personal goal to make sure he was that officer," Savery told the Ledger. "This is the story of little Jesse winning over the hearts of the town of Middleboro and everybody else."

With the increasing number of scientific applications manipulating huge amounts of data, effective high-level data management is an increasingly important problem. Unfortunately, so far the solutions to the high-level data management problem either require deep understanding of specific storage architectures and file layouts (as in high-performance file storage systems) or produce unsatisfactory I/O performance in exchange for ease-of-use and portability (as in relational DBMSs). In this paper we present a novel application development environment which is built around an active meta-data management system (MDMS) to handle high-level data in an effective manner. The key components of our three-tiered architecture are user application, the MDMS, and a hierarchical storage system (HSS). Our environment overcomes the performance problems of pure database-oriented solutions, while maintaining their advantages in terms of ease-of-use and portability. The high levels of performance are achieved by the MDMS, with the aid of user-specified, performance-oriented directives. Our environment supports a simple, easy-to-use yet powerful user interface, leaving the task of choosing appropriate I/O techniques for the application at hand to the MDMS. We discuss the importance of an active MDMS and show how the three components of our environment, namely the application, the MDMS, and the HSS, fit together. We also report performance numbers from our ongoing implementation and illustrate that significant improvements are made possible without undue programming effort.

A customer complained that the $3,600 loan he took on December 2014 turned out to be an $11,000 loan that he had to pay until 2018, as posted on BBB.org. Another customer reported that the company failed to validate the debt settlement he requested more than a year ago.Continue Reading
As of June 2015, NetCredit is not a BBB-accredited business, according to the Better Business Bureau. In response to the billing issue a customer posted about an $11,000 loan, NetCredit posted that the customer's account was going to be settled once he paid the full amount of $3,991.60. The firm urged customers to contact the company if they had further concerns or queries.
NetCredit resolved five complaints in which the complainants were satisfied with the results, the BBB reports. The lender addressed 13 complaints wherein the complainants did not respond as to whether the solutions resolved their problems with the company. One complainant claiming that he did not apply for a loan with the company decided to take the matter to court, as of June 2, 2015.
Based in Chicago, NetCredit is a lending company that offers loans online and is a subsidiary of Enova International, Inc., according to its website. The firm claims to offer a simple and fast application process with no hidden fees.Learn more about Credit & Lending

Han Hye Jin Outraged and Netizens Sympathize
A news report featuring photos of top underwear models was broadcast on January 29th and Han Hye Jin's pictorials were in the mix. Rumors that appeared factual began to spread that Han Hye Jin was an underwear model. Needless to say the actress was appalled, tweeting her frustration: "Why don't you bother to get your facts straight before broadcasting information about others? I have never been an underwear model." She explained, "Those photos you aired are not of me wearing 'underwear.' They were part of photo shoots for magazine spreads. I just couldn't help but want to say something when I saw your report. I've found myself slipping into a state of disbelief. I guess today's just one of those days…"
Netizens were angered by the false reports too, and some commented "Just by one glance you can tell it's not underwear. What do they mean by underwear model??" and, "I think I can understand how you feel, Han Hye Jin" and "Don't they know any better? They should verify their facts before broadcasting that kind of information."
This seems kind of like a game of telephone, where some of the correct information was lost along the way. What do you think of Han Hye Jin and the netizens' reactions?

I have a new ritual where I walk through the yard at dusk. Tonight, I discovered three things:
- Chipmunks can stand on their hind legs like Timon from The Lion King.
- Something puked in my yard. Can you tell me what this is? It just appeared out of nowhere. It's yellow, it's mushy, and it's definitely not poop. In fact, it doesn't have a smell — yes, I put some on a stick and sniffed it. Wouldn't you?
- Something DID poop on my deck, last night. I should have known — the kitties were awfully interested in peering out of the window! Can you tell me what animal made this mess?

What's happening in my yard?

MindUP™ arrived in 2012 — a little gift with massive impact.
Mindful Sensing Practice
Mindful tasting, smelling, moving & listening are techniques that we build into our daily teaching. It helps the children to focus their attention and impacts positively on their learning.
Our brains are built for compassion and empathy
Being concerned about others and understanding the feelings of those around us are basic skills for emotional intelligence. When children develop compassion and empathy, they learn to recognise that their words and actions have an impact on others. Practicing this daily builds the social and emotional competence that children need in order to be resilient and confident.
What West Rise Infants Community is saying about MindUP™
'As well as having huge impact in school, it has been amazing to have parents come to us and ask about mindful breathing as children have gone home and told their parents about 'the breath'. When this work transfers into home lives it is becomes even more important'
Deputy Head
'When introducing core practice to the class again this term in Year 2 one child said 'I know this and I know that when my brain gets 'fuzzy' I make 'bad choices'. Children use a mindful moment to calm and refocus and it is their natural response now to help diffuse a situation .
Teaching Assistant Year 2
'Last Year mindful breathing was so important to our class. We kept to a real routine and children were definitely more calm – the whole class really. We had some tricky characters and if it wasn't for the breathing practice it would have been tricky to bring the class back together after break times'
Class Teacher Year 1
'MindUP™ sits at the very heart of what we do and impacts so strongly, so widely. I had read the Research and was interested in the evidence on academic impact. In 2014 we have seen the very best results and how amazing to see children in charge of heir emotional selves as they began their SATs. MindUP is leading our work and sits firmly at the centre of our values & ethos.'
