A private members' bill is set to become law and will mean a new role for local authorities in planning for self-build homes.
Mike Kiely, Chair of POS, said that the proposed register seemed to be "a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut".
kiley added, "The mechanics of actually keeping a register is quite a significant task that's going to absorb resources and, at a time when resources in local government are at a premium because of cuts, you do have to question on a cost-benefit analysis whether this is the thing to do or not."

Miley Cyrus has warned fellow former child star Justin Bieber to step out of the spotlight for a long hiatus following his latest headline-grabbing antics.
The singer/actress, who shot to fame on Disney show Hannah Montana, has doled out advice to Bieber and urged him to take a break following a number of highly-publicized problems, including the emergence of a video which appeared to show him relieving himself in a mop bucket in a restaurant kitchen.
Cyrus says, "I told Justin to take a bit of time out and people aren't so obsessed with you and nit-pick (sic). When you're not around, all they want is your music. They want to see what the next thing is. But when your music is out they just want to talk s**t about you. When you're a worldwide star, everyone sees everything. Lots of people make a video and put it on Instagram, some people might think it's funny but because it's Justin Bieber, it's like really bad.
"I always tell him just to be cool and not talk about it because when you talk it fuels the fire. He's still stupid though. But everyone does dumb stuff when they are messed up and he's done dumb stuff. If it was your friend p**ssing into a mop box then you would be laughing, but because it's Justin Bieber, then it's really bad."
Bieber has hit headlines due to a number of disputes with his neighbors in California, who accused him of speeding around their compound in a Ferrari, while a DJ in Ohio has accused the singer of spitting in his face during a recent night out.

Bridging the Gap Between "Point and Shoot's" and DSLR's
These cameras look good, feel good, and as the term "advanced digital compact" suggests, you have tons of manual controls at your fingertips including shutter priority, aperture priority and full manual!
These digicams have a lot of the advantages of more professional cameras but without the expense, bulk or need to carry around loads of accessories.
The right camera here will offer a powerful zoom lens, manual override for aperture or shutter speed settings, different ISO's, higher pixel count with a larger CCD or CMOS sensor and even maybe built-in image stabilisation, face recognition and even smile detection.
(If you are a relative "Newbie" to photography, go to my Terminology page for explanations on wordings)
Why would I need manual control?
Having the ability to set camera controls manually or even semi-automatically is where photography really starts to become fun. The possibilities are endless but for starters…
- Slow Shutter speeds for creative night photography and blurry images
- Fast shutter speeds for action photography (Sport, wildlife etc.)
- Aperture control to alter depth of field (you control how much of the background is blurred)
- External or off-camera flash (Flashlight or studio) for different and endless lighting effects
- Large files for bigger prints
- Large zoom lens for wildlife, weddings and sports photography
These cameras are for the enthusiasts that have a creative "Itch" they need to scratch. The beauty is that they can also act as a simple point and shoot which is great for family parties, events and weddings.
Reading many of the forums online, it would appear that after a year or two of using one of these advanced digital compacts, many users upgrade to a Digital SLR. That is not to suggest that you give these a miss, I carry one with me as a back-up at all times.
It is a great way to get on the digital photography learning curve without breaking the bank!
What is the image quality like?
For your every day photography whether shooting at a wedding as a bystander or a family event, the quality is actually very good indeed. However, because they have a sensor which is so much smaller than a typical DSLR, the quality in many cases doesn't even come close.
Some of the later cameras such as the Canon G16 produce excellent quality and even some of the older cameras produce great results like the G11 or G12 (which actually had a smaller sensor than its predecessor).
This is great news because it means that the manufacturers are concentrating more on image quality and other features rather than simply trying to increase the pixel count with each new model. Be aware though that the quality of images produced by an advanced digital compact camera is not good enough for the more professional photographic pursuits such as stock or paid wedding photography.
How do I choose one of these?
Unlike the smaller compacts, there are fewer of these digital compact cameras to choose from, and the manufacturers spend a lot more time, money and effort in producing them and have now even started producing the more "retro" style cameras.
This means that the majority of cameras produced over the last couple of years will be of excellent quality. My advice? Budget permitting, get the best you can afford in relation to pixel count (or quality), lens quality and features combined.
Ergonomics play a part too. Some of these cameras are of very strange design and need to feel good in your hand. Some look like their smaller counterparts and others look more like the Digital SLR's, you will know what is right for you when you see and feel it. Just make sure it has all the features you need before you buy, don't go for looks alone.
My personal favourites, and which also get top marks from professional photography magazines, are the Canon Powershot Pro G16 12mp and the older Nikon Coolpix P5100 12.1. Go to B and H Photo Video, read the customer reviews and make your own mind up. The minute you have one of these advanced digital compact cameras in your hands, you just won't stop shooting, trust me.

Part 2, Chapter 5 Summary
The hospital leaders tell Manna to get ready to meet Commissar Wei and grant her leave to meet him at the hospital's hotel in Muji City. She is taken to the hospital by jeep and told to meet Wei in his suite. The commissar is a tall man in his fifties, gentle, intellectual, and very polite. Manna wonders why he and his wife divorced, since he seems well mannered and considerate. He asks her about books, and if she reads, and if so, what. She says she has not read for some time, but used to read fiction, and mentions several novels, then worries that they may be considered politically incorrect. Wei, however, approves of her taste and shows her a copy of Leaves of Grass, a book of poetry by Walt Whitman, which he loves. He lends her a copy...

America is using ISIS in three ways: to attack its enemies in the Middle East, to serve as a pretext for U.S. military intervention abroad, and at home to foment a manufactured domestic threat, used to justify the unprecedented expansion of invasive domestic surveillance.
There are essentially three wars being waged in Syria: one between the government and the rebels, another between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and yet another between America and Russia.
By rapidly increasing both government secrecy and surveillance, Mr. Obama's government is increasing its power to watch its citizens, while diminishing its citizens' power to watch their government. Terrorism is an excuse to justify mass surveillance, in preparation for mass revolt.
Furthermore, The EU is fully complicit in this, and has its own agenda. The EU is, as we all know, the pre-stage for the totalitarian EU Superstate. They are using exactly the same manufacted terror threat to decreses democracy and freedom. At the same time, the EU's lust for power knows no bounds. It is directly implementing both the 1936 nazi Coudenhove Kalergi Plan, mass immigration to create a docile mixed race slave race, and to destroy national identity, buts also the 1995 Barcelona Declaration, which basically is an agreement with Mediterranean arab nations wherby the EU gains control over their economy and resources, including oil, in exchange the EU allows free moslem immigration across the EU, agrees to Sharia across the EU, and agrees to eliminate democracy and free speech, and put islam first.
Hence ISIS was created partially to create terror, and thus a wave of fleeing people, all moslems, and all heading for Europe, in order to extend the eventual EU Superstate to Eurabia, and finally, One World Government

The best way to unify your team is to try scavenger game?
Have you ever wonder how you can improve your business? Where should you start form? First of all, you need to know that your employees should be in the first place. In every business, every company enhances the importance of the clients and underlines that the customer is in the first place. The thing is that this is true, but only partially because without a team you have nothing. You cannot run a business without an organized team.
How to improve the efficiency of your team?
First of all, you need to know that the good organization is one of the most important things when it comes to running a business. How to manage that your team is synchronized and function as one perfectly organizes entity. There are so many ways, and one of them is team building. Every team needs to have members that are well familiar with others inside the team. The best way to manage this is to organize from time to time some team building. Whether it is going to be hiking or simple going out it will affect the relationship inside your team. The best way to let your team members get known better is to put in front of them different kind of situations and to let them function outside of work.
Scavenger hunt
Adrenalin, thrill and exciting situations are just what you need if you want to let your team feel a stress relief. First of all, you need to prepare them a brainstorming and let them go out of a work zone. The scavenger hunt is just what you need. This type of game offers you all in one. Your team will learn how to be organized and how to be unified to achieve their goals. This game is an excellent practice that will help them to develop skills that they will apply later when it comes to working. After all, you will manage to monitor them and to realize what are their qualities and flaws. After you will know what task they can do and you will be able to appraise an estimated time of their action.
Scavenger hunt online
It is nothing less than scavenger hunt adjusted to these modern times. Authors and creators of these sites realized how important is to be in constant touch with your crew and how important is to save as much as possible your time and that is the main reason why they created it. They adapted this type of site to business people to help them to develop a team spirit inside their companies. The concept of this type of site is to represent a kind of agenda and your personal assistant that will help you to run business and to manage the organization of your employees.
We advise you to keep in mind that you know nothing about your team before you try scavenger team. If you want to succeed, make them closer to you and to reach other.

Pierre-Etienne Janet
Toujours de l'amour: almanach nouveau sur les plus jolis airs
circa 1792-1797
In the last decade of the eighteenth century--amid some of the most tumultuous political times in the history of France--Pierre-Étienne Janet publishes an almanac of love songs in a richly-decorated binding. There is nothing in the text, the plates, or the hand-wrought covers that bespeak the Revolution, the execution of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, or the war being waged against Austria. The miniature book for ladies offers love poems--to be sung to existing tunes--interspersed with engraved plates, some of which evoke classical or medieval themes.
The survival of the elaborate binding is remarkable. It comprises decorated vellum; front and back covers, each with an onlaid, gold-tooled black morocco cartouche frame with cut-out areas at top and bottom revealing papier-maché gold-and-silver ornaments on a red ground and with circular cut-out roundels on the sides; original water and gouache paintings covered in protective mica; and a spine painted and gilt to resemble citron morocco. The inside covers are lined in pink satin and framed in gold braid, and mounted on the front inside cover is a mirror, made from mica, allowing the owner a convenient and discreet means to check her cheek color or reapply her lip rouge.
The almanac exemplifies the dual role played by publisher-binders, such as Pierre-Étienne Janet (1746-1830), who outsourced the printing of almanacs and then custom-bound them in his workshop. Janet had inherited the business of relieur-doreur from his father-in-law, Jean-Pierre Jubert (active 1771-1789), a well-known publisher of almanacs: Jubert produced luxury gold-tooled morocco bindings as well as mirrored almanac covers. Active from 1776, Janet set up shop in the rue St-Jacques around 1790, where he worked from no. 31 from 1793 to 1801, continuing his father-in-law's business in the production of "small almanacs with mirrors, covered in satin or watered silk, with or without slipcase," and meanwhile building up the branch of "ephemeral publishing," including gift books and children's books, which would later become the mainstay of the firm under his son Louis Janet.
For a closer look at the book, request the item in the reading room of the Rare Book & Manuscript Library.

Use this space to cheer the creator along, and talk to your fellow backers.
Have a question?
David Morgan-Mar 2-time creator on
Hi Bart, I'm starting to think about the next book. It'll probably be Cliffhangers. No, there isn't enough new Fantasy material for a second book yet!
Bart on
Still picking up the book from time to time, once even to make a point to my own players after a session.
I'm going to bundle my RPG recaps in a book soon though because it's Star Wars I'm not even trying to figure out the rights, I'm just going to print a few copies for me and the players and keep it as a private project.
Can't wait to hear about which theme you'll choose for your next book. Is there enough in the Fantasy theme to fill a second book?
David Morgan-Mar 2-time creator on
Hi Michael, thanks! I've started thinking about the next book... but it'll be at least another couple of months before I'm ready to go. I'm thinking March or April.
Michael Pedersen on
So... when's the next book coming out? This was so well run, I wanna buy the next book!
David Morgan-Mar 2-time creator on
Jens: I'll let Make That Thing know, and they'll send your book back again. Sorry about that!
Jens Ådne J. Rydland on
It looks like the post office forgot to notify me when the package arrived, and now it's been returned due to not being picked up in time. So what do I do now?
David Morgan-Mar 2-time creator on
Scott: Make That Thing reported a handful of defective copies with that issue. They thought they caught them all, but one or two may have slipped through to backers. If you email me a photo showing the problem, I'll arrange for a new copy of the book to be sent to you.
Scott HaringSuperbackeron
Enjoying the book, but ... a thin protective film has come loose, starting at the back cover edge and going all the way around the binding to halfway across the front cover. It will not re-adhere where it has come loose. Has anyone else experienced this?
Anders Håkon GautSuperbackeron
Got the book in Norway as well. Looking great and for once I'm glad the (not so small) kids are not awake when I am. Less competition.
Bart on
Yes, it's here! Glad I made a Kickstarter account for this. Both a GM (in Star Wars) and player (in D&D, Pathfinder and more) myself, as well as a LEGO fan and comic reader so naturally I love DMM's works.
The second book I ordered went to introducing a fellow GM to Irregular Webcomic.
Keep it up, if you ever do another one of these I'll definitely back it!
Stephen Vickers on
Got it this morning in the UK. Love it, thank you!
Andy Flitton on
Got it four days ago, a great read!!!
Michael ChampionSuperbackeron
Got my book today in California. Looks awesome!
Patrick HarrisSuperbackeron
I got mine! Pleasure doing business. :)
Michael Pedersen on
Got it today! Well done campaign and delivery!
Matthew Ryan on
The book arrived today! Huzzah! Looks good, can't wait for the next one (space?) :D
Matt Atkinson on
I am very happy to hear that it is coming soon. I have a friend I plan to introduce this to.
David Morgan-Mar 2-time creator on
@Matthew Ryan: Yes, that's correct. The surveys will go out just before the books are ready to be posted, to make sure the addresses are all as up to date as possible.
Matthew Ryan on
David, did I understand correctly that you'll be sending out the surveys (at least for those of us who only got books) closer to when the books are actually ready to go out? (Not a complaint, as it hopefully helps cut down on the "whoops, I moved since then" issues that some will inevitably run into, just asking.)
David Morgan-Mar 2-time creator on
@Wyvernsrose Yikes! Hopefully yes, they'll sort it out. Let them know, and let me know if you need a hand.
Kickstarter has charged me twice for this one hopefully it sorts itself out by the time it all clears.
David Morgan-Mar 2-time creator on
Wow, I can still scarcely believe the last 48 hours of this campaign! Now the hard behind-the-scenes work begins to get your rewards to you.
@Vidar Ambrosiani: Cliffhangers is number 1 on my list for a follow-up book too, so you may be in luck! :-)
Oliver Korpilla on
Congrats! I'm really glad the usual end-of-KS rush did happen! :)
Andrew Ekstedt on
Funded! Congrats!
Michael Pedersen on
Sorry I was so late to back. You've given me more than a few laughs over the years, though, and I wanted to make sure to give something back.
Thank you for the laughs and the fun. And congrats on making the goal!
Vidar Ambrosiani on
Last minute backer. Groaned a bit about international postage, but then I thought, hey, with all the joy you've given me, paying back is only fair. However, what I really want Is a book of the cliffhangers series. In my mind that's easily the best theme. Please do it next!
Charles Creffield on
made it, with 21 hours still to go!
Jens Ådne J. Rydland on
And unless something changes drastically in the final 22 hours you're funded, congratulations! :-)
Alex Rodgers on
Irregular Webcomic was the first ever comic I found and the first I binged on. I remember sitting in my uni hostel's computer room until late at night, making my way through the hundreds of strips. My love of webcomics stems mainly from this one and I'd love to have it next to those on my shelf.
Billy Hamilton on
Wow, what a eucatastrophe!
I was already starting to feel sad the other day about the project failing... and then somehow it's gone and turned around at the last minute. : )
Matt Atkinson on
Used to two copies, I have a friend who is a big fan of Darth and droids who doesn't have time to read IW, I hope to introduce him to it.
David Morgan-Mar 2-time creator on
Thanks, thanks, and thanks for the comments and pledges. I've started holding my breath as these last few days tick down. I really don't need this for my nerves! I've begun thinking about contingency plans, but I'd rather not have to invoke those, and am still hopeful we can get this funded.
Phillip Schulze on
I just increased my pledge - hopefully you find another way to get these books done if this isn't successful
"Wystan" - Bill C.Superbackeron
I added an extra book (Great Christmas present to get that gaming friend hooked guys) to help reach that goal!!!!
V V King on
Hi David! Good luck on the project! I don't know if there's enough time left, or if you even have enough time to do it, but one thing that I thought worked really well on the OOTS kickstarter and that could also work here, is that you could offer a bonus PDF story for every backer, regardless of pledge, but don't make it available anywhere else. It could be a good incentive!

AT&T revenue, subscribers misses analyst view
AT&T Inc posted revenue that missed Wall Street estimates and its wireless subscriber growth was also slower than expected in its final quarter as the exclusive U.S. provider for the Apple Inc iPhone, sending shares down 3 percent.
AT&T added 400,000 net contract customers in the fourth quarter compared with the average expectation for almost 504,000 from eight analysts contacted by Reuters.
On Tuesday, its biggest rival Verizon Wireless reported 872,000 new contract customers. Verizon Wireless starts selling the iPhone in February, ending AT&T's more than three years of exclusive rights to the popular device.
AT&T, the No. 2 U.S. mobile operator on Thursday reported a profit of $1.09 billion, or 18 cents per share compared with a profit of $2.7 billion, or 46 cents per share in the same quarter the year before.
But excluding unusual items, AT&T earned 55 cents per share compared with the average analyst estimate for 54 cents a share according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Operating revenue rose 2.1 percent to $31.36 billion from $30.71 billion in the year-ago quarter. On average analysts were expecting revenue of $31.47 billion, according to a poll from Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
AT&T said it expects consolidated revenue to grow this year but did not give a specific target.
It forecast earnings per share growth in the mid-single digit percentage range for the year as it expects both wireless and wireline profit margins to improve.
AT&T shares fell to $27.85 in early trade after closing at $28.73 in regular New York Stock Exchange trade.
Verizon Wireless is a venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group Plc.

Scores of Miami-Dade students were late to school Friday — and some briefly stranded — when hundreds of bus drivers skipped work in an apparent protest over wages and the increasing cost of healthcare.
Close to 250 bus drivers were no-shows, according to district spokesman John Schuster. He said many called in sick and caused mostly minor problems at 80 schools in the central, south and southwest parts of the county.
The district employs 1,300 drivers who bus more than 60,000 students to school each day. The absences set administrators scrambling to cover routes and bracing for the chance that drivers might again stay home on Monday.
"We will be working through the weekend to plan for that," Schuster said. "We want employees to know they're valuable members of the school district family."
Friday's apparent sick-out came amid tense negotiations between the school district and the local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents some 6,000 school board employees, including drivers. District officials say talks over wages and benefits broke down recently. As a result, the price of AFSCME employees' healthcare rose 17 percent on Jan. 1.
With drivers working few hours over the Christmas Break and healthcare costs for the month substantially higher, some received miniscule paychecks on Thursday and Friday. Many are paid less than $20,000 a year.
"Some people got negative dollars. They got an IOU," said union president Sherman Henry.
Henry said there was no planned strike, which in a right-to-work state like Florida would be illegal. He blamed the school district, which he said had hiked health insurance costs as a negotiating tactic.
"They made a conscious decision to (bleep) these people over,'' he said. "That's what happened."
District officials, on the other hand, said Henry's union had repeatedly declined to return to the table to talk and knew rates would increase with the new year unless employees moved to a new plan.
Enid Weisman, head of human resources, said the district has a plan to curb healthcare increases. She said money was also set aside from the millions Miami-Dade received for Gov. Rick Scott's "teacher raises" to offer a 2.3 percent wage increase.
School Board member Carlos Curbelo condemned the strike and called on Superintendent Alberto Carvalho to "take swift action" against employees who skipped work.
"Using children and putting their safety at risk is not an acceptable negotiation tactic," he said.
As drivers stayed home, some parents said they received calls from their children and schools that buses were either late or never came.
Mia Lopez, the mother of a 12-year-old sixth grader, said her daughter was left standing at 163rd Avenue and 96th Street. The girl called a half hour after the bus was scheduled to come to say another student's parent was taking stranded kids to Herbert A. Ammons Middle School.
Lopez, who had already caught the Metrorail to her downtown job, said she told her daughter to go with the parent even though she didn't know the person.
"I had absolutely no other choice. If not, she would have had to go back home and stay for the day," Lopez said.
Other parents said that's exactly what their children did when the bus didn't show.
While Schuster said issues were minor at most schools, some parents and teachers reported that hundreds of students were late at Ponce de Leon Middle and Miami Killian Senior High, where Curbelo said 500 students were affected by 10 no-show buses. Parents inundated the office at John A. Ferguson Senior High with phone calls after the district placed automated calls to parents. Over the loud speaker, teachers were told to stop flagging late students as tardy.
In many cases, the district was able to cover bus routes by the time students were dismissed. But Patricia St. Macary said she had to leave the Aventura law office she manages to pick up her son, a third-grader at Virginia A. Boone Highland Oaks Elementary.
"They had all the kids in the office calling the parents," she said. "I told my boss I need to leave, pick up my kid and come back. They weren't really happy about it but there was nothing they can do."
Friday's apparent protests came three months after an ultimately failed proposal by Curbelo to study outsourcing the district's $69 million transportation department drew the ire of drivers and aides. It was also reminiscent of 2010's teacher sick-out, when a third of Miami-Dade's teachers called in sick or took personal days to protest legislation that would overhaul their pay.
Schuster said Friday morning that the district knew of drivers who'd called in sick and showed up at protests. But he said the district wasn't focusing on punishment.
Rather, he urged Henry and AFSCME leaders to work through the weekend to come to an agreement on a new contract. He said the district would be prepared for any problems that might occur Monday, though he said there was no indication that bus drivers would again skip work.
"The goal here is not to reprimand people," he said. "The goal is to get back on track and ensure that our students are receiving the services they deserve."

Education to help you operate your business successfully
NAHC Annual Meeting Private Duty Sessions
Pre-conference 803: Conquering the Caregiver Recruiting and Retention Crisis*
Stephen Tweed will be sharing the secrets from his latest book about recruitment and retention in the caregiving industry. This session is not providing band-aid solutions to this systemic problem, it's about reorganizing your approach to hiring the right people for the right positions, and rethinking what keeps them there. If you attend this session, you'll be privy to the latest research on recruitment and retention, and will have a chance to participate in an interactive learning experience you'll need to survive as a leader of your agency. The final 30 minutes of this pre-conference will be the annual private duty panel discussing the state of the industry and any legislative updates.
*Remember, separate registration is required for this session, and it's additional cost is $250 until Aug. 15, with increases after that date. Prices are disclosed on the webpage.
204. An Ounce of Prevention: Insulating Your Home Care Agency Against common Targets of Wage and Hour Litigation and Investigations
Nationally recognized attorney Angelo Spinola will be presenting a 90-minute session covering the latest wage and hour litigation trends. This session will teach you where you need to strengthen your operations to prevent lawsuits. Complying with wage and hour protocol doesn't have to kill your business, it just takes some tips and lessons from what other agencies have gone through. Per-visit pay, travel time, sleeping time, expense reimbursement, independent contractor situations and more will be covered.
224. What is the True Cost of Employee Turnover?
Did you know that replacing staff can cost 1.5x the salary of the position? This session will reveal the hard truth about how turnover crushes businesses, and what you can do to prevent it happening in yours. Proper talent screening and acquisition goes a long way to preventing costly turnover. If you can take away the innovative solutions for decreasing turnover and smoothing out your turnover operations, you'll be a better leader for your agency.
226. How to Develop a Multi-Disciplinary Pain Management Team Including Therapy and Pharmacy
Private duty agencies can use insights from this session to help position themselves in the post-acute care landscape. Even with non-skilled care, private duty agencies can learn where they can make their role the "glue" that helps support the work of pharmacists and therapists in the home.
232. Keeping Your Company Nimble: Managing Change
Change management has many sides: the instigators of the change, the agents of the change (your agency leadership figures), and those who have to work through how these changes affect their daily work (your staff). Often, the hit to employee and staff morale is the fatal blow that can disrupt your operations and lead to mood changes, stress, errors, and a negative work climate. This session will teach leaders how to analyze the cost of change and provide a toolkit for employers to nurture resilience.
304. Positioning for Post-Acute Care Collaboratives from a Sales and Marketing Perspective
Right now it's all about partnerships and collaborations across the care continuum. Private duty agency leaders will find this session particularly insightful, as the all-star faculty discuss how to use data and marketing to demonstrate the value of a potential partnership. Learn HOW to find the data, HOW to use it, and HOW to pitch it to your best advantage.
313. Creative Strategies for Recruitment and Retention
324. Creative Strategies for Recruitment and Retention
Due to popular demand, we decided to offer this session at two different time slots, hoping attendees won't miss it due to scheduling conflicts. While the core concepts of the session will be the same, the perspectives of the faculty will be different. In 313 we'll hear a joint presentation from a millennial RN and a human resources partner manager who offer perspectives on how to attract a younger workforce and maintain an engaging staff environment. In 324, we'll hear from leaders of the Home Care Aide Council.
While not explicitly private duty, the below might also be of interest to the private duty industry:
316. Evidence-based Practices

The feature has been in beta for a few months but now anyone can get at it and live blog at will.Are we still in a place where this means journos will whine about professionalism, ethics, and recall the mob mentality surrounding some reddit threads and news events? Probably. If so, it's probably time to shed the pretense. Reporting needs to be mobile, live, and transparent. RedditLive doesn't have to be a publisher, though that's technically what it is, but could be a really good source for you in the newsroom. Although, someone is live-blogging their midnight snack.I think that reddit is sort of a self-cleaning machine. There's a lot of noise over there, and that's a good thing. When something is wrong or missing, people notice. It's like the "eyes on the street" effect for the web.This week, I tweeted a link to a New York Times article about the white flags on the Brooklyn Bridge. The story amused me for its brevity, lack of information, and a sense of snark in an NYPD quote. When I went to link to that story this morning for another piece, I found it entirely flushed out and reported. No hilarious quotes from NYPD, not even a link to "an earlier version."The gall! At least with live-blogging platforms, there's a record of updates and corrections. I understand that the white flag story eventually found an angle and required more words (also debatable), but it's like the slate was wiped clean and the initial lack of information — which remains the best angle — never happened.Go forth, citizen and professional journos, and live-blog. Just don't delete your mistakes!h/t The Next Web Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jP09az copy Adweek Adweek

The Last Gentleman
General Colin Powell's decision not to run for president seems to have suffused our politics with a sense of loss whose presence is palpable and yet whose origins are rather a mystery. Our mourning cannot be for the loss of a candidacy with that realistic a chance for the Republican nomination, not so much because Powell is a man of color as because he would have joined the race after too many of the Republicans able to help his cause with the powers of office or of purse had already pledged them to another candidate.
Neither have we lost a chance for the company of heroism, since Powell is too well aware of what that word means to impute its qualities to a career that owed most of its ascension to his managerial talents and the requisite acumen for getting ahead in the military service that is our last effectively functioning political machine.
Powell would, no doubt, have been a splendid combat officer if his times had demanded it, but they seldom did, and those of us who admire Powell ought not to polish his martial glories to a sheen any higher than the modest glow he himself prefers to assign them.
What we have lost instead is no less consequential for being rather simple. For there departs with him every promise of elegance in a campaign otherwise bent upon being no better than the tawdry wallow of men made ever more ungainly by desperation. We yearn for Powell's elegance most achingly because we so miss it in the air he has vacated.
Every canon in the myth that we are a classless society is a falsehood, with the solitary exception of our tender of universal opportunity to ambitions for gentility. We have never offered every child humbly born an equal chance to grow rich—or, lately, to make a decent living—but we have, at least, allowed every lass to become a lady and every lad a gentleman.
A gentleman does not abase himself or crawl or cry in public. President Bill Clinton's eyes well up at card tricks and he never travels except to crawl wherever he lands. Senator Bob Dole used to show some potential for gentility until, after frequently visiting his wicked tongue upon Richard Nixon in life, he wept over Nixon's casket, and he has since sunk further from crying in public to crawling in public for the Reverend Pat Robertson and others in the politics-as-religion dodge. The last gentleman departs with Powell, and we must rummage among those who have willed themselves into loutishness.
Only those unaware of the complexities of the great river of African-American history could imagine a Powell who had acquired his genteel traits instead of being born to them as he was. He drew his first breath in one of those West Indian households that, whether in comfort or deprivation, are Anglican, aristocratic, and sometimes prone to hauteur.
As he grew up, Powell stayed true to his aristocratic heritage, shook off…

A heartbreaking wartime sacrifice and later, a father's quest
The child was Jewish, but to survive in wartime Warsaw, 18-month-old Natalie Leya Weinstein needed a Christian name. Her father wrote a new name on a piece of paper, Natalie Yazinska, and left her on a stranger's doorstep, hoping she would be taken in. He then sneaked into the Warsaw ghetto where fellow Jews gave him shelter. When the war was over, Weinstein learned that every member of his family had been murdered, including his wife, Sima. Now he lived only for one thing — finding out what happened to his daughter.

My Dad was in the Joint Distribution Committe in the late '30's, prior to going back into the military and no one would believe the stories that he would tell about what the Nazis were doing—even Roosevelt would do nothing, even having a shipload of refugees denied landing rights in t he USA and being returned to Europe, where they weren't wanted either.
I hope we have learned our lesson but I'm not sure we have looking at the direction our current administration is dragging us…..

Ryo Utasato
Ryo Utasato's First Outtake from her Album Frozen Flower
Ryo Utasato is a Japanese composer and singer/songwriter with a rich body of work that runs the gamut from electronica to ambient to world to rock and beyond. Being raised by parents who were both musicians themselves, Ryo has had no shortage of inspiration and has been creating music from a very young age. Her range of talent and unique experimental style is immediately striking and listening to one of her pieces will undoubtedly transport you to another place. Her soundtracks have appeared in a variety of film and TV, and she's worked in such genres as sci-fi, drama, horror and action. Her work was also chosen for the theme of World Heritage series.
Ryo's incredible musical sense combined with her genuine interest in world culture has opened her mind and pushed her to experiment with different types of sounds and instruments. Her music often features a mixture of seemingly contrasting sounds which collide at different points and produce unexpectedly moving results. On top of some of the more conventional instruments which Ryo has used in her music, she has also experimented with a number of others from different parts of the world such as the duduk (Armenia), the erhu (China) and the shamisen (Japan). The expanse and tremendous scale of her music is capable of taking us from one part of the globe to another, just by closing our eyes.

|Core Curriculum
|Foundation Curriculum
Religious Education
Information Technology
Design Technology
Physical Education/Games
Classes are largely taught by their form teacher, believing that the development of a close relationship with the form teacher is of great benefit at this stage of their education. Music, PE, Art, French, ICT, and Games are taught by subject specialists.
Children are set in Mathematics and English according to ability.
Parents are issued with details of the Curriculum to be covered in their son's year group shortly after the beginning of each term. (These Curriculum outlines may be downloaded from the box on the left.)
Music plays a very important part in the life of the school. There is a Senior Choir, Junior Choir, Orchestra and Brass Band. Regular concerts are held and allow children to perform publicly, individually and as members of a group.
Instrumental lessons are given by peripatetic instrumental staff on a wide variety of instruments and pupils are entered for public examinations when the required standard has been achieved.
Circle Time
Donhead uses Circle Time to help pupils develop skills of listening, co-operation with each other and friendship skills. Each class sets aside 30 minutes once a week for Circle Time. Circle Time is our way of delivering the PSHE curriculum within the school.
11+ Preparation Programme (Years 5 & 6)
Donhead is fully committed to ensuring that each boy achieves his full academic potential. In line with our commitment to the development of personalised learning, including Assessment for Learning, we run a structured preparation and assessment system in Year 5, and the first term of Year 6, in order to prepare boys as thoroughly as possible for any 11+ or independent school entrance exams that may be taken.

"Tourism Month gives us the opportunity to focus our efforts on Domestic Tourism in particular, using the period as an opportunity to encourage all South Africans to get out and explore this unique, beautiful and diverse country of ours," said Minister Hanekom.
In line with this year's Tourism Month theme "Tourism for all; Promoting Universal Accessibility", Minister Hanekom urged all South Africans to take part in a national survey aimed at soliciting opinions of what South Africans want when they travel. Launched on August 1st by South African Tourism, the #TourismForAll campaign aims to promote local holiday travel by highlighting the fact that the South African Tourism sector aims to cater for all South Africans. The campaign will also highlight the affordability and accessibility of holiday travel in South Africa.
Tourism Month celebrations alternate among the six less visited provinces each year, with a different province given an opportunity to host the celebrations; all provinces are encouraged to showcase their leisure experiences on offer so as to inspire domestic travelers.
This year, World Tourism Day celebrations will be held in Parys on the 27th September, and as Tourism Month coincides with Heritage Month in South Africa, it is thus befitting that the Free State is this year's host province. The Free State is home to the Vredefort Dome; a World Heritage Site recognised by the United Nations Educational and Scientific Organisation (UNESCO) as a place of outstanding cultural and historical importance.
Due to its great diversity, the Free State is endowed with quaint, small towns with the friendliest people who are always ready to welcome visitors; and boasts a number of tourism routes.
"Do the Cheetah Route and discover the Mangaung District, the cultural and political heart of the Free State; follow the Eagle Route in the Free State's southern border and explore some of the most picturesque landscape in the country or delve into the Flamingo route for the history of Lejweleputswa's gold mines; or explore a taste of everything that is typically Free State in the Lion Route, from culture to nature to history. Today we're on the Springbok Route, home to the largest dam, the Gariep Dam," added Hanekom.
Minister Hanekom explained that domestic tourism is an extremely important component of growth in tourism, and critical to the long-term growth and sustainability of South Africa's tourism industry.
"Today we are driving the message that regardless of who you are, where you come from, or your physical or financial status - tourism is something open to be enjoyed by everyone. All South Africans deserve to experience the wonderful country we live in and have access to important sites that commemorate and celebrate our heritage and diverse cultures. The growth of domestic tourism depends on our ability to make our tourist attractions and facilities accessible and affordable for more of our people, and to improve our communication of the joy and value that travel brings. Let us continue working together and with the industry to ensure that travel is affordable and accessible so that our people can take leisure breaks whenever they feel like it throughout the year" concluded Hanekom.

nudity reviews for Angels in America member submitted
Confirmed Body Double
After leaving my review of Mary-Louise (see above) back in September, I saw this movie again tonight and her nudity still bothered me --something just didn't look right.
Upon further examination, I found an article which confirms that Emma's relatively minor nudity is definitely that of a body double --actually, a double with Emma's head super-imposed on it.
(see: http://www.pluginz.com/news/1514)
The same thing HAD to be done with Mary-Louise as well --which was why she looked so strange in that far-shot scene.
touches a penis
This is good if you have an embarrassment fetish. Emma Thompson is a fully clothed doctor inspecting a fully nude (penis exposed) male. She even feels and strokes his penis, although she does have gloves on and she is doing it in a "doctorly" way, not a sexual way.
A hands-on approach
Maybe this doesn't count, since Ms. Thompson is fully clothed througout the scene, but I think it's worth noting. She plays a nurse who examines fully nude Justin Kirk, feeling his groin and wrapping her hand around his thick, flaccid penis. I wonder what was going through her mind while filming?
"Plasma Orgasmata"
In "Part 2: Perestroika," the beautiful Ms. Thompson, as the Angel, has an airborne sex scene with Justin Kirk, culminating in a mind-blowing orgasm (VERY intensely played). We see her nude from the side, fire covering her genital area. Although breasts are visible (briefly), I couldn't tell if they were actually Emma's or more superimposed special effects. Giving the benefit of the doubt, three stars.
Flaming angels
In Chapter Four (on the second disc of the DVD set), Emma Thompson as an angel has an aerial encounter with Justin Kirk.
They're nude, but digital (symbolic) flames block their genitals, and the result is breezy but not exactly hot sex. Still, some of Ms. Thompson is visible at 34:18-22, 31-34.
When she's playing the angel, Emma Thompson looks very glamorous and beautiful. Seen here in profile, her legs look nice but her bum is abit on the large side and she looks surprisingly small-breasted. (That may reflect the production technique. This image likely was shot with the actors standing up and then rotated, rather than as wire work, which would explain why Emma's titties don't seem to hang down.)
I say BODY DOUBLE --back AND front
There's something very awkward about this scene. Maybe it's because she doesn't move a muscle after she drops the blanket --like someone told her to freeze.
Why would this actress who had to wear a shirt for the sex scene we'd just seen, suddenly now be totally naked?
If she at least had turned her head during those rear shots, I wouldn't have concluded that those shots were a body double --but they definitely were.
As far as the front --and really think about this before you all dismiss it-- I say with all the special effects in this movie, it would have been a simple walk-in-the-park for them to super-impose her face over someone else's body.
The way that scene was shot with a long shot just didn't look right to me, and I think that's why they shot it that way.
For what it's worth, "her" nipples look smaller than they did in "The Five Senses".
See my review of Emma Thompson.
Butt and full frontal
My goodness, but some reviers are picky; nobody has as yet given this scene the 4 stars it deserves. Yes, I too wish the full frontal shots had been as close as the two butt shots, but what a body, especially on a 39-year old, and what a lovely bush! By the way, I doubt that a body double was used for the butt shots. Why wouild Mary-Louise allow herself to be shot twice, the second time at some length, full frontal, exposing breasts and bush, and then use a body double for her butt? I don't think so!
Mary nude
Mary drops here robe and shows us her plump upturned bare butt. Camera angle then cuts to the front and we see her cute little titties and trimmed bush. As the guy walks by you see her tight white ass again and another lingering shot of her titties and trim.
NOT a body double
This was a particularly vital scene and I found nothing odd about that scene. I mean do you move around your neck when your talking to someone? I suspected a double at first since it was shot from a distance but after looking at it closely it's definitely her. There is no mention of her head being super imposed on someone else's body in this article(http://www.pluginz.com/news/1514).
Full-frontal nudity and ass
Mary is wrapped in a blanket while talking to her husband, but he isn't paying attention to what she's saying. So Mary drops the blanket and yells "Look at me!". We see Mary's tits and public locks. Then the camera shows Mary from the back and we see Mary's ass. Then the camera shows Mary from the front again as her husband walks past her. After her husband walks out the dorr, Mary stands there fully nude for several more seconds. It's as if the Director had yelled "Cut", but the cameraman continued filming, allowing us to enjoy Mary's tits and public locks for several more seconds. Mary's tits are small but cute, and Mary's public locks are well-trimmed.
Full-frontal nudity, tits and ass
The best mary's nude.Bush, tits, ass and sex scene.Thanks Mary!!!
Too long-shot
Really **1/2, but not as satisfying as it could have been. About 1:50 into the second half of this overlong drama, Parker does a covered-up simu sex scene, then follows her husband into the living room and drops the blanket she's wrapped in. A couple of fairly close, decent shots from behind (don't see her face). A couple of full-frontal shots (natural fuzz, though it looks neatly trimmed), a bit too distant for best quality. The second shot of this is held rather longer than the first one. Both shots were made for the Zoom control on your DVD player, however, since nudity is not the raison d'etre of this production. The frontals would have been worth an easy **** if not so long-shot.
"Look at me!"
The shot is a bit long, and the context more sad than sexy, but it's still Mary-Louise full frontal and rear. She has a nicely-proportioned, natural body, with medium-sized breasts and darkish, not-too-closely-trimmed pubic hair. Very courageous of her, going full frontal in an era when many actresses are skittish about flashing a boob.
front and back, jack
You see her nice butt (could be a body double) and her full frontal nudity from a distance. You get 2 looks at the butt (the first one is quick, the second one is lengthy) and 2 looks at the front (the first one is quick, the second one is lengthy). The frontal shots are not exactly an anatomy lesson, considering the distance, but you can tell that she has a nice, hairy, dark bush. You could tell they were trying to be tasteful and not give you a really good look at the front, though; hence, only 2 stars. (The butt scene alone would have earned 4 stars if they had proven it was her and not a butt double).
Nice, but generic
Talented, small-breasted Mary-Louise Parker morosely struts her stuff in a scene beginning at 1:49:00 in Chapter Five.
There's a quick view of her ass at 1:49:16-17, and a longer one at 1:49:40-45. They're interspersed with a quick frontal shot at 1:49:17-21 and a longer one at 1:49:46-53. Unfortunately for fans, the frontal shots are from 15-18 feet.
As other reviews have noted,the context is sad and the scene is not particularly erotic. The debate over use of a butt double (unlikely) occurs because Mary-Louise's ass is by far her best feature.
From the front, Parker's smallish-average titties, neatly but not overly trimmed pussy and slender-medium frame are all attractive but unexceptional.
Mary-Louise Parker gives a very good performance here, and while she's more convincing as an actress than as a sex object, it's not as though anyone should complain about seeing her nude.
Alot of Skin
Mary Louise Parker is another one of those not so famous actresses that really turn me on. I love her girl next door type or even naughty wife. She has a cute voice and nice white skin and a gentle look. In this scene we get good shots of her butt but I have to say that I am convinced it's a body double to my despair. But fortunately we get two shots of her full frontal completely naked. Since nothing is perfect they're distant and I mean distant shots but with a pause and even a zoom it's a very fulfilling scene. She has perky, firm breasts. Medium size. Natural believe. Thank God. Her bush is very dark and trust me very large. It's not a very long shot but it there's enough time to admire her very sensual body. Her legs are well shaped and just in case it is her, her butt is firm, wonderfully shaped and in my opinion a sight for sore eyes. A good scene by a very sexy girl. Long live MILF.
Stripping naked on the beach.
Patrick Wilson is a very appealing guy. And he obviously worked out before making this movie. We see a full back-side view, and, as he moves about, we definitely can see his balls & cock through his legs. Bravo, Patrick !
The beach scene appears on the second DVD of the movie, about an hour in. Personally, I find the movie itself hard-to-take, but Patrick is worth a look.
Patrick's obscured, big dick and nice ass
In an emotionally fleeting scene as well as nudity explotation, Patrick Wilson decides to strip off his clothes on a cold beach. He rips of his pants and we get extended shots of his cute, well-defined buttock. But, the best of this scene is when his HUGE balls and hung dick enter frame for a few seconds in which you think to yourself,"this guy is as endowed as a horse." Now if only we just saw the whole thing!
Ass, balls
Shucks his clothes off on beach, reveals his ass. As he lifts his leg you can see his balls and/or cock swinging.
Rear after stripping on beach
Cute, innocent-looking actor pulls his clothes off on a beach in winter. Shot from behind, we get a good look at his nice butt and a surprisingly clear view of his penis bobbing between his thighs.
Cool beach
In Chapter Five during an extended scene on the beach, Patrick Wilson finally takes off his clothes.
He bares himself at 1:02:17-21, 24-25. I say finally because he's been seen previously in intimate settings, but always discreetly clothed. Here, he's literally out in the open and suddenly he's stripping, emotionally as well as physically.
Patrick also seems to be fairly well hung, because his cock is visible from behind and at a distance. He might rate higher if the views were closer, but Wilson does have a nice butt.
Well hung and circumcised
The other reviewers forgot to mention that Justin is circumcised and BIG even when flaccid.
Physical Exam
Non sexual scene. Kirk pulls his pants off and lies on an exam table. His flaccid penis (about 3 inches in length, circumsized with pink head) sits atop his scrotum covered in light brown pubic hair. Emma Thompson examines the genitals. Camera view from side.
penis, butt, pubic hair on table
In a scene with Emma Thompson, the boyishly appealing Justin Kirk strips off his pants in a hospital examination room, showing a cute butt, then lays on a hospital bed, fully nude, showing a full-body shot of penis and reddish pubes. Not particularly erotic, but pleasantly-filmed as the rest of the movie - and not at all coy.
Emma feels the penis
See review below - Emma touches and feels the penis (gloves on, done in a "doctorly" way). I certainly think this is worth mentioning.
Full frontal from handsome, well-hung actor
The beautiful Mr. Kirk strips for a medical exam, giving us a nice look at his full bush and wonderful, thick penis. The nurse (Emma Thompson) feels his genitals and the glands in his groin. Since Mr. Kirk's character is suffering from HIV and covered with KS lesions, the scene isn't as sexy as it might otherwise be, but he does have a great package. Plus, it's surprising to see hand-to-genital contact in a high-profile production like this.
Slowly disrobing and gently being probed by Emma
Finally Justin gotta let it all hang out on any screen. I was hoping he was gonna repeat his nude scene in Love! Valour! Compassion! as he did on Broadway. But he did not. Now he exhibits his succulent protruding bit Angel in America in a very clinical way. I am so flabbergasted. Nice go Justin. Keep it coming!
Worth noting
It takes until the 57:08 mark in Chapter Three for nudity to appear in this epic about AIDS, Jews, Mormons, sex and the lack thereof, death and the imminence and immanence thereof, American politics and the consequences thereof, and delusions of the self and others.
After that delay, though, handsome Justin Kirk shows off his buns briefly at 57:08 and his cock at 57:14-15, 30-35 and 56. As others have noted, it's good-sized and he should be happy with it. Since this scene is dry, literally and figurately,he'll have to make do with three stars.

The Packers will head to MetLife Stadium on Sunday a compromised team, with third-string quarterback Scott Tolzien taking the snaps instead of former Super Bowl champion and MVP Aaron Rodgers.
In recent years, the prospect of starting a third-string quarterback would be calamitous to a Green Bay team that has struggled to establish a running game.
This season, however, the Packers appear to have found an answer in the backfield in Eddie Lacy, the team's second-round pick from Alabama.
After totaling only 51 yards in his first two games, Lacy has averaged 103 yards over his last six games.
"They got a steal," Justin Tuck said of Lacy. "He makes all [of] the right reads, it seems like. Even when it's not a very impressive run, [he] still has second-and-5, second-and-4. He always falls forward. He's a very strong back. He reminds me of a bigger Marshawn Lynch."
Last season, the Packers' leading rusher, Alex Green, ran for 464 yards. Lacy already has rushed for 669 yards.
"The balance is the key in what they've done," coach Tom Coughlin said. "Lacy's a powerful runner, and you're going to have to get a number of people to the ball in order to contain or control what he can do, because you watch him break tackles on tape."
The Giants can expect a steady dose of Lacy to keep the pressure off Tolzien, who is making his first NFL start as he tries to fill the shoes of Rodgers, who is out with a broken collarbone.
"They're probably going to try to feature him a little more and try to keep the down and distance in their favor," Tuck said.
Jason Pierre-Paul, who may not play Sunday because of a shoulder injury that caused him to miss practice Wednesday, said the key to stopping Lacy is not to let him get a head of steam.
"We [have] to get him going east and west," he said. "When he runs downhill, he's a very good running back. He hits the holes pretty good too."
"He's more shifty than people think, and he has a little bit of speed on him," linebacker Jon Beason added. "Every week, it's something different. He's shown that he can really carry the load the last couple of weeks, so it's a big challenge [not only] for myself, but the whole defense in terms of stopping the run."
The Giants have been stout against the run, ranking 10th in the league in yardage allowed.
They stymied two elite running backs in the Eagles' LeSean McCoy and the Vikings' Adrian Peterson. In three games against the Giants, those two backs totaled 122 yards on 48 carries (2.5 yards per attempt).
If the Giants' defense can rise up again on Sunday and shut Lacy down, it will force the inexperienced Tolzien to make plays.
Should that occur, it's advantage Giants, and what would appear to be a clear path to a fourth consecutive victory.
