Just a few minutes after BP Group Chief Executive Robert Dudley addressed a CERAWeek luncheon crowd on post-Macondo efforts that have seen the company spend more than $44 billion on Gulf response and cleanup, I talked with Center for Offshore Safety Executive Director Charlie Williams about the center's work to increase the safety culture in offshore energy development. Williams, who was named to his position in March 2012, talked about systems approaches to safety and what the center has learned about offshore safety in its first annual performance report, issued earlier this month. Highlights of the conversation below.

Three zeroes stand out in the first annual performance report by the Center for Offshore Safety (COS), the oil and natural gas industry-led initiative to promote continuous offshore safety improvement following the 2010 Macondo incident: Zero fatalities, zero loss-of-well-control incidents and zero oil spills equal to or greater than 10,000 gallons in Gulf of Mexico operations.

On the other hand, placing a pad under furniture or not scraping it across the floor will increase the floor's lifestyle. Among the tips on cleaning a laminate floor take account of routine dusting in addition to the cleaning, but the vacuums with a brush shouldn't be used. The dirt should be vacuumed up rather than moved around by a beater bar.

CCD Memory Program researchers relocate to The University of Sydney
CCD Memory Program research will be led out of The University of Sydney's Brain and Mind Centre, with the relocation of several CCD Memory Program researchers and students.
Professor Olivier Piguet (Program Leader, CCD Memory Program) and Professor John Hodges (Chief Investigator (CI), CCD Memory Program) are both relocating with their respective research groups from Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA), The University of New South Wales to the Brain and Mind Centre, The University of Sydney. Approximately 30 CCD researchers will take part in this relocation, which is expected to be finalised by January 2017. Ongoing and current collaborations with NeuRA will continue beyond this time.
The Brain and Mind Centre is "a global leader in brain and mind science research, education and treatment, ... committed to the development of better treatments for disorders of the brain and mind, and leading improved health care for generations to come."
The research interests of CI Piguet's and CI Hodges' research groups include memory and memory deficits in adults, particularly those with frontotemporal dementia. Their research will complement and expand the research currently conducted at the Brain and Mind Centre, particularly in the areas of Alzheimer's Disease, frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease.
CI Piguet and CI Hodges will join existing CCD Memory Program CIs already at The University of Sydney as part of this relocation: CI Associate Professor Sunny Lah (Faculty of Science, School of Psychology) and CI Dr Laurie Miller (Sydney Medical School, Central Clinical School).
The CCD will continue to maintain its strong association with NeuRA and The University of New South Wales, through CCD Belief Formation Program CI Associate Professor Melissa Green, who receives support for mental health research by NeuRA.

Costume contact lenses or special effect contact lenses are the lenses which can be used for Halloween-themed parties or theatrical purposes. You can use costume contact lenses even if you don't have any vision problem since costume contact lenses are available with and without prescriptive correction.
Costume contact lenses come in different varieties so you can use them to enhance your overall look and match with your outfit if you are dressing up for a Halloween party. For example, you can use costume contact lenses with jaguar design if you are dressing up as a jaguar. Similarly, you also get the costume contact lenses which have cat eye designs which can be used to give you a real cat look.
Like traditional contact lenses, costume contact lenses too need a prescription. Though these costume contact lenses are worn for short periods and basically designed for fun, costume contact lenses are medical devices. If costume contact lenses don't fit properly in your eyes or you do not take adequate precautions to clean and disinfect them, these costume contact lenses, too, can cause eye infections and other eye related problems or temporarily or permanently hamper your vision.
Even if your eyes are perfectly normal and vision is proper, you should consult your eye care practitioner on the kind of costume contact lenses. It is also advisable for you to get the costume contact lenses fitted and prescribed by the eye care practitioner.
You can buy costume contact lenses either from your eye care practitioner or from a reputed online store by sending them a copy of your prescription. It is advisable to buy branded costume contact lenses from a reputed store as it will ensure good quality, clear vision and greater satisfaction for you. Never buy costume contact lenses from a flea market or a store which does not ask for your prescription as chances are that the costume contact lenses may be spurious or illegal and they may be of inferior quality. Most of the online stores offer branded products at cheaper rates as compared to your eye care practitioner as they save money on employees, rent and other taxes. If you are buying online costume contact lenses, ask the company about its return policy in case the costume contact lenses you bought doesn't fit you perfectly.
Make sure that you regularly clean or disinfect costume contact lenses to give you a clear vision and prevent any kind of eye infection, abrasion or other eye related problems. Never share your contact lenses with your friends or relatives as this will make you more prone to catching eye infections. When you are not using them, make sure that you store these lenses in the solution recommended by your eye care practitioner so that they are totally sterile by the time you want to use them again. It is advisable to wash your hands before inserting or removing your costume contact lenses to prevent germs from contaminating them. But do not use soap which has fragrance as it will affect the lenses.
There are many companies in the market who customize costume contact lenses for use in movies, television or theatre. These companies provide the costume contact lenses with exact look that a particular character requires, be it to create natural effects like aging, scared look or blindness or to give supernatural effects like that of an alien, monster or an animal. These costume contact lenses are available in different powers if the user uses eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Most of these companies have experienced eye care practitioners on board who examine the eyes and customize lenses according to the actor's eyes and needs of the character. Since the costume contact lenses are customized, prices of such contact lenses are on the higher speed. Generally the price depends on the quality of the lens and its design.
Get your pair of costume contact lenses and have a different look!
Then there are lenses which should be disposed off in two weeks or a period of one month. Rigid gas permeable lenses last for many years and are very durable.

The WCS parent portal allows parents to enter the website of the school that their children attend so that they can be more involved in how those children are doing in school. In the past, the only chance parents got to be involved was if they volunteered for school functions or during parent teacher conferences. But with the technology that we have today, and the fact that the internet is such a huge part of our everyday lives these days, parents are able to log in through one of these portals and can see just about everything that their child is doing.
There are quite a few schools that are using a WCS parent portal based system to allow parents to be more involved in their children's studies as well as keeping track of things like grades and attendance. Most portals like this require you to have a child that is being taught at the school in order for you to register with them. Although, there are some online home schooling programs that are also starting to offer up portals like these in order to help other parents and bring the home schooling community together in an effort to help everyone involved.
You will find that WCS parent portal sites will have different information in regards to the school that is offering the portal. You are also going to find that there are certain areas that are related to different school functions and things like band or sports sections. Each of these aspects will have different subsections such as calendars that show school functions and when different games are being played and whether those games are to be played at home or at another school. They will also have forums where parents can ask questions and set up volunteer lists for functions.
If your current school does not have a WCS parent portal system, then you should talk to the administrators to see if it would be possible to start one. They are extremely versatile sites that can offer students, parents, and even teachers a greater understanding of what is happening at school and allow everyone to plan in advance for school trips or any other function that might be happening. You can also find that the school can save paper by having the grades posted within this portal instead of printing them out and using up resources and money.↑ Back to Top

I Finally Figured Out Identity
Ok, now did you notice what I did in the paragraph above? I'm comparing digital natives and the children of real immigrants. I'm saying they are the same. BUT digital natives can have SINGULAR identities between spaces, while children of immigrants are capable of having a MULTIcultural identity.
HUH?!?! How is that similar?
So, here's the paradox, and here's how I think the two fit together. Both digital natives and the children of immigrants are capable of reconciling multiple identities in order to form one singular identity as a whole.
Sound plausible? Make sense?
Ok, so here's what I've been struggling with for awhile, and here's what I need feedback on: who really cares? So I found a couple of uncommon parallels for the digital native metaphor. So I'm manipulating the metaphor and applying it in a way that usually isn't looked at. So what?
And here's where literature comes in. The Joy Luck Club is about the relationships between mothers from China who raise daughters in the US. Um, perfect for what I'm talking about, right? A mother in the book says that she has two faces: American and Chinese, and "If you show the one, you must always sacrifice the other." So here, you can definitely see the multiple identity phenomenon, but there is no hope for reconciliation. BUT at the end of the book, June, a daughter, says that she used to fear "mutating" into something Chinese. But she doesn't just mutate into something Chinese, something different than what she was. Instead, she finds a part of herself that is Chinese--her family--and then reconciles that identity into her whole identity. A multiple identity is able to become a singular.
BUT... is this valid? Can I say that we, as humans, desire to reconcile multiple identities into one singular whole? This is what we write about in literature. This is what immigrant children do. And this is what digital natives do. Is that enough of a "So what?" Is this idea just too out there?
What do you guys think? Do human beings, creatures of multiple identities, inherently desire to reconcile those identities into one complete whole? Is this some abstract reason why immigrant children see themselves as strongly ethnic, yet also American? Is this one unspoken-of reason why the native/immigrant metaphor works for the digital world?
Real question I'm asking: Am I making any sense here?
3 comments:
I think just about everybody has multiple identities, or rather multiple sides of identity, to reconcile. We all have different social circles that we are influenced by and interact with, and therefore we have different ways of speaking and acting. Sometimes people have larger dichotomies between different lifestyles and keep them very compartmentalized. Other people try to find a balance or a middle place between two things (perhaps Mormon feminists are an example of this, as discussed in Stacie's blog? http://staciefarmer.blogspot.com/2010/05/feminism-in-mormanism.html, that might be worth looking into). I guess what your getting at is a pretty fundamental human theme. So yes, the questions you are exploring are valid and understandable, but I think they need to be a bit more specific. I think most of us are in the same boat though.ReplyDelete
I understand your thoughts, Amanda, but just for the sake of playing devil's advocate, do you think most individuals find that sense of singularity? I just read Chris's latest post which discusses the use of avatars as a sort of "spirit animal" where individuals can create a separate manifestation of themselves. Especially regarding your digital native, isn't the use of online avatars proof that we still fragment our personalities into multiples?ReplyDelete
I really like your thoughts here Heather, and I think your comparisons of Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants to Immigrants and their kids in our society is a very important one. Why? Let me give it a shot:ReplyDelete
It's hard for immigrants to integrate, and it can be hard for their kids. But if we can apply helpful learning techniques from one paradigm (Prensky's Digital Native stuff) to another (literal immigrants and their families) that really needs help, there's a lot of value in that.
Basically, I think your "so what" could be that you are exploring ideas for inclusion and integration that are important in any educational forum, and important for us to understand as we participate in educating others within and without official educational channels.
On the subject of multiple identities, you might find some interesting things in what the theorist Mikhail Bakhtin writes in his "Discourse on the Novel." Amongst other things, he explains that as we move from one language (way of speaking/thinking) to another, we discover that not all languages suit us equally well:
"It is as if they put themselves in quotation marks against the will of the reader."
In other words, we sometimes find that even though we use a certain language system, it is as though we are just quoting it, and not using it organically and originally.

RICHMOND — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by convicted murderer Jens Soering, who had challenged Gov. Bob McDonnell's authority to rescind consent for Soering to be transferred from a Virginia prison to his native Germany.
Soering, the son of a German diplomat, is serving two life sentences for his role in the 1985 murders of his girlfriend's parents, Derek and Nancy Haysom, in Bedford County.
Don Owen is committed to saving Bedford's history.
One rescue was the building where American National Bank has its Bedford Branch on North Bridge Street. The building had been gutted by fire before Owen purchased and restored it.
Now, he's working on the empty building on 122 South Bridge Street, most recently the home of a book store.
"The city was going to condemn it," said Owen.
A delegation from the Elks' governing board is in Bedford this week going over the Elk's National Home.
Resolutions passed at the fraternal organization this year authorized the board to look at options on what to do with the home. These options include partnering with other organizations, selling the home or closing it.

I'm planning on being a better person. I make that affirmation not because I've developed a greater love for my fellow man. No, I make it because I've had a small taste of what the opposite of Heaven looks like.
If nothing else is clear from the American Legion regular season shenanigans, you can safely hang your hat on this: There is no greater rivalry than that between Big Island Post 217 and Lynchburg Post 16.

This past week, during our District Work Week, I had the chance to visit with 5th District Virginians in Franklin, Bedford, and Albemarle Counties as Americans across this country joined together to celebrate Independence Day.
When our Founding Fathers signed their names to the Declaration of Independence, they could not have known how this experiment of self-government would unfold. What they were confident of, however, is that liberty is an inherent, God-given right, not one that originates from a King or other form of government.
Hopefully, most people are getting back to normal after the June 29 derecho wind event that swept through here from Ohio and went all the way to the Virginia coast and into Washington, D.C.
If you were lucky, you were relatively unaffected by the power outtages, business closings, and the gold-like lust for bagged ice that plagued most other people. But the lucky were few indeed.
We know the storms were a product of the extreme heat, a wave that began in late June, which is not the usual time for heat waves.

Tutorial #5, Drilling Stone Bases
Tutorial #5, Easily Drilling Holes in Stone Bases!
Almost every sculpture we make is mounted to some type of base. Sometimes wood or steel, but usually granite or marble. You could send a template to the stone base company, and pay them to drill the holes, but in our experience, it is easier to drill them yourself, and be sure they are in the right spot. Check out the video to see just how easy it is. All of the materials and resources will be in the show notes below. Now Drill Baby, Drill!
We forgot to mention it in the video, but you can use a hand drill to drill these holes. You will just want to make sure you are drilling straight down into the stone base, and not tipping the drill so that the hole is crooked.
Tutorial Resources
Some of these links are affiliate links, which means that if you buy from them, We will get a small percentage of the sale at no additional cost to you. If you are uncomfortable with that, just type the words into Google or Amazon. We only recommend products that we actually use.
- Online Source of Marble and Granite Bases
- The Bill Snyder Maquette
- These are the bits we use, they are high quality and not that expensive. Don't buy the Black and Decker brand, or the Aermont American brand. They are a few dollars cheaper, but they won't last through the second hole.
Bosch GT500 3/8-Inch Carded Glass and Tile Bit
(used for thru drilling for a 1/4 inch bolt)
Bosch GT600 1/2-Inch Carded Glass and Tile Bit
(used for countersinking for the head of a 1/4 countersunk bolt)
Bosch GT3000 Glass and Tile Set, 8-Piece
(This set has both these sizes and some smaller and bigger, for only a little more $)
- 1/4 20 countersunk phillips bolts, 2.5 inches long
These are the mounting bolts that we used in this demo. "1/4" refers to the bolt's diameter, which is 1/4 inch, meaning it will (barely) slide through a 1/4 inch hole. "20" refers to the number of threads per inch. 20 is the most standard size. Your bolts might need to be longer or shorter depending on the thickness of your base and the placement of the nuts in your sculpture. For most table top sized sculptures, 1/4 inch bolts are plenty strong.
- Clay for the clay wall(use oil based clay!)
- Felt Feet(keeps the stone from scratching a table top)
- Packing Blankets(Harbor Freight is the cheapest place to get these if you have one near you.)

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 176120
Panic on booting any kernel after 2.6.13-1.1526 with SATA
Last modified: 2013-07-02 22:26:46 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 (CK-IBM) Firefox/1.5
Description of problem:
None of the 2.6.14 kernel updates will boot on my system. FC4 is installed on an sata_via system with software RAID. On booting, immediately after init there are errors:
mount: error 22 mounting ext3
ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 0

Following on from the announcement of a new high speed Exilim camera, Casio has introduced four other models to its line-up of digital compacts.
First up is the Exilim Card EX-S10, which is claimed to be the world's smallest and thinnest 10.1-megapixel model.
It is 94.2mm wide, 54.6mm high and 15.0mm thin (13.8mm at the thinnest part) and comes in four colours — red, blue, silver and black.
Key features include a 3x optical zoom lens, 1/2.3 inch CCD and 2.7-inch wide LCD offering 230,160 dot high resolution.
The camera also incorporates Casio's Auto Shutter function, which automatically records the moment of a smile or the instant when hand shake ceases.
Motion blur detection technology is also included as is the H.264 video standardfor movies in normal and wide format movies in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Next up is the 8.1-megapixel Exilim Zoom EX-Z80, which is available in six body colours — pale pink, vivid pink, green, blue, black, and silver.
It is claimed to offer very low noise using the Exilim Engine 2.0 image processing module.
Alike the Exilim Card EX-S10, it offers the Auto Shutter function, motion blur detection technology, face detection, H.264 video as well as a new heart shaped focusing frame tool.
Last up, are the 10-megapixel Exilim Zoom EX-Z200 and EX-Z100 — which feature a wide-angle 28 mm lens with 4X optical zoom.
They also include a Super Clear LCD as well as Casio's Auto Best Shot scene recognition function that automatically chooses an appropriate shooting mode.
The EX-Z200 also adds an anti shake function that compensates for blur by moving the imaging element. Both models incorporate Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blur by raising the camera's sensitivity and therefore increasing shutter speeds.
Prices have yet to be released.

Welcome back for the conclusion of my interview with Black Box Voting's founder, Bev Harris. So, Bev, what happens now with the anti-trust probe, which has proceeded, thanks to the ample documentation you provided the DOJ?
The DOJ can require ES&S to divest itself of the Diebold Premier Election Solutions acquisition. Diebold sure as heck won't want it back they practically gave it away by selling it for just $5 million and agreeing to remain responsible for the liability and lawsuits. ES&S wouldn't need to sell it back to Diebold; they'd just need to divest themselves of it.
It's not the direct profit potential that ultimately drives this acquisition, nor any subsequent acquisition if divestiture is required. This is actually about power. What's at stake has a much higher value than you'll ever see on the balance sheet.
Omaha's Kiewit outfit got into trouble a while back for
bid-rigging and was banned from bidding for several government projects. So
then Kiewit said "Here we go Loopdy-Loo" and started creating
entities inside of other entities. It got pretty nutty. At one point, a bunch
of White Kiewit golfing buddies from Omaha pretended to be Black women from
Seattle. They hid real corporate identities in Oklahoma too, where they had
been banned from doing work with the government, creating a maze of confusion
over true ownership during government procurement cycles. Some of Kiewit's
executives were indicted in schemes to bid-rig and cover up true ownership.
ES&S does have origins that lead back to the Kiewit bunch, but true to form, you have to jump through so many hoops to follow their corporate permutations that you end up getting lost in the forest. I mentioned the Kiewit connections in our DOJ complaint, and I outlined some of the Kiewit backdrop behind ES&S here:
So ES&S will probably be required to divest itself of its Diebold election purchase, but the devil will be in the details. We'll have to be exceptionally vigilant to find the real identities behind whoever picks it up from there.
Another consequence would be nice: There is precedent for the DOJ to recover costs for their investigation and any litigation when there is a wrongful acquisition under anti-trust laws. It would be justified in the ES&S acquisition, because ES&S has done this before! In 1997, ES&S acquired Business Records Corporation, triggering anti-trust action by the SEC. The company certainly knew better, but tried to create a monopoly again. They should pay.
All this being said, the bigger problem we are facing is concealment of key steps in elections from the public. If you conceal essential steps in a public election from the public, it ceases to be public. And if you cease having public elections, you no longer have liberty -- a violation of our highest-level human rights.
So while the antitrust investigation can at least hold another monster at bay, it doesn't solve the core issues. It does have potential to open some helpful information up for public examination, because the subpoenas will be flying, not only from the US DOJ but from the 14 states, and in most cases the responses to those documents will be obtainable through Freedom of Information actions. However, it took me four years to obtain the DOJ freedom of information documents on the investigation they did into me back in 2004, so let's not hold our breath for the document dump. And we can't request the records until after the investigation is closed.
In the mean time, we need to keep our eye on the ball: We need to restore public right to see and authenticate every step of elections. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous the situation is right now: We have destabilized our form of government through centralization of control, and we have transferred power to
insiders by authorizing undemocratic concealment of public election processes.
Because we cannot see electrons, computerized counting conceals an essential step in public elections and therefore violates public right to know. Concealed vote counting systems have been deemed unconstitutional by the German equivalent of our Supreme Court, which has ruled that no public election can conceal any essential step in the election from the public.
Principles of public sovereignty over government are embedded into our Declaration of Independence (the document which provided much of the argumentation for women's suffrage), and are also internationally recognized and contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Ode to the Cuisine of Israel: Pita Bread
I was able to take an amazing trip to the Holy Land with my husband several years ago–an experience I will never forget. I was prepared to be underwhelmed by the food, but I was oh, SO WRONG. Five-star desserts weren't the norm, aside from this one:
But, the food was truly outstanding. I attribute this mainly to the use of local, fresh produce. People all over the country still buy their produce from local farmers and at local "stands." Keep in mind, this was the selection in the dead-winter of January.
The variety of salads and vegetable preparations was something I have never seen in America. I have since read in several cookbooks and on numerous food blogs dedicated to this region that no Arab woman was likely to be taken as a bride unless she could prepare eggplant in seven (the number varies depending upon the account) different ways. I believe it. I saw vegetables prepared in so many ways I cannot even begin to remember many of them. I met few I didn't love.
In fact, our favorite, deceptively simple, staple cabbage salad originated from this trip. That recipe will have to keep for a winter's day, however. Today, we are going to talk about something more traditional to the cuisine of Israel: pita sandwiches.
Flat breads are the staple for cultures with ancient beginnings (think unleavened bread and manna of the Old Testament). Whether opened up and stuffed, torn into wedges and used as a vehicle for hummus or other dips, or simply folded up into a taco shape with something delicious inside, pitas are delightful. What child's interest doesn't spark when you tell them lunch will be "pocket sandwiches?"
My pita dough uses a sourdough starter, which I know just caused some people to stop reading and click elsewhere, but bear with my while I explain. More traditional yeast bread methods always used a long soaking time and a natural yeast (sourdough) starter for leavening. There is some indication that these historic methods actually changed the digestibility of the grains and are therefore healthier for our digestive systems. I am not saying I've found a cure for Celiac or anything (that would be ridiculous, since I am no scientist) only that when I am able, I like to use the old-school method both for assumed health benefits as well as a slower, more traditional experience and final product. If you'd rather make pita without the sourdough, I have included a second recipe below that omits it. I am unabashedly partial to the sourdough version. Once your pitas are done, stuff them with hummus, grilled veggies and more (don't worry we'll get into that later in the week).
Pita Bread – Whole Wheat, Sourdough
Adapted from: http://bintrhodaskitchen.blogspot.com
Yield: 15-20 rounds
4 cups whole wheat flour (can use all white or half white and half wheat)
1 Tbsp Real kosher salt
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups whole milk
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup sourdough starter, freshly fed and bubbly, (freshly fed will give less of a sour taste to the final bread)
To Make Dough:
Mix together 3 cups of flour and salt in a mixing bowl (if kneading by hand) or bowl of a stand mixer.
Add honey, milk, oil and starter. Knead for several minutes and then add the extra flour a little at a time until dough is tacky, not sticky.
Form dough into a round, place in an oiled bowl and cover. Allow to raise until double in size, about 4-6 hours.
To Form and Bake:
Divide the dough into lemon sized balls and use either a tortilla press or a rolling pin (or a combination of both) to roll them out rather thin, but not too thin or they won't hold up to stuffing. Children are ideal helpers during this step.
Place the loaves on a well-floured surface so that they do not stick and cover with a damp towel. Allow to rest 5-10 minutes while you work on the other rounds. They won't rise noticeably.
Preheat either a cast iron skillet or a pizza stone in the oven. Carefully place rounds onto hot surface and cook until they puff completely, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with remaining rounds. Store finished pita in a tortilla warmer to keep warm and soft until you are ready to eat them.
Pita Bread, Instant Yeast
Adapted from: The Foods of Israel Today by Joan Nathan
1 Tbsp instant yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or a combo of wheat and white), approximately
1. Combine yeast and warm water in bowl of BOSCH mixer. Stir until yeast is dissolved; add olive oil, and salt. With motor on speed 1, add enough flour to form a firm, elastic dough.
2. Form dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Cover with saran wrap and let rise until doubled.
3. Turn dough out onto floured surface and cut into 12 equal pieces. Using your hands, form each section into a ball about the size of a lemon. Cover with a towel and set aside for 5 minutes.
4. Lightly flour the worksurface and roll each ball to a 6-inch disk. The dough will be very elastic, so roll firmly, adding a little more flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Repeat with remaining balls of dough. Cover and let rest 15 minutes
5. Meanwhile, preheat oven with a baking stone (alternately, a baking sheet pan) to 500°, or use a cast iron pan on the stovetop. Using a peel, transfer 2 rounds to the baking stone or pan and bake 3 minutes. Remove withtongs or spatula and repeat with all remaining rounds.

11. Please note that any wounds must be dressed and covered. We cannot apply sticking plasters at the centre in case of allergy.
12. If you wish to cancel tuition on a permanent basis, 4 full lessons' notice in writing is required. You can send your notice letter by email.
13. We reserve the right to discontinue tuition, either with 4 lessons notice, or in exceptional circumstances, with immediate effect.
14. It is extremely important that students arrive punctually for their lessons and are collected on time. They may arrive up to 5 minutes before their lessons begin. We have no facility for parents to wait on site. Students must be collected promptly as we are required to adhere to strict opening/closing times at our new facility, and for this reason we will no longer be open between 12.20-12.55 on Saturdays. Please note that we do not have facilities to look after children when they are not in class. We also do not have the facility to look after other siblings who are not attending. Please ensure that you look after all of your children that are on site. If your child is not collected promptly after their lesson ending, there will be a charge of £2.00 for each 15 minutes thereafter. It is also imperative that you register your child with our staff on arrival and sign out once they have attended their lesson (this is in accordance with Health and Safety Regulations).
15. Please also note that we are not authorised to book with taxi cabs to collect children. If you wish to book a taxi for your child we must informed by yourself prior to the collection. We must also know the name of the taxi company and driver and the driver must show some form of identification. If these steps are not taken we will not be able to let your child leave the premises.
16. It is important that homework is completely by each child on a regular basis. You will note that with each lesson pack, a comments sheet is enclosed. This is for parents to use each time homework is issued and return duly signed. Your comments are very helpful to the child's tutor, as much information about his or her strengths and weaknesses can be gained from them. Please look at your child's marked returned work. We do try wherever possible to go through corrections or include them in the next week's questions. It is not always possible in the short time to go through every possible correction. If this is the case, we would ask parents to be supportive in their child's completion of corrections.
17. We are available to discuss your child's progress regularly. It is usual for parents to book an appointment with us once a term. However, if you wish to see us more frequently, then this is not a problem. Please email your requirements for meetings to email@example.com or speak to your child's tutor.
18. Y.E.S. must be notified of a change in personal details e.g. address, telephone number, school etc.
19. We cannot accept any child onto the premises of Y.E.S. unless we have received your completed registration form and agreement contract in advance. You may email these to us.
20. When your child is attending Young Education Services, we must be able to contact you directly in the event of an emergency. It is therefore essential that your mobile is kept on at all times. If you are on a different number on a day that your child is attending Young Education Services, you must inform the staff, who will log your number down on the register for the day.
21. If you would like someone to collect your child who is not a person named on the collection form, you must call the centre personally and inform the staff.
22. Please do not bring bicycles, buggies, scooters etc. into the building. They cause an obstruction and contravene our health and safety rules. We are also unable to have dogs on the premises unless they are guide dogs for the blind or hearing dogs.
23.

When planning your Vietnam holiday, as well as considering the great holiday packages available, check the dates of festivals – they're well worth planning around and being there for.
The Vietnamese calendar is guided by the Chinese lunar calendar, which means the corresponding dates on our Gregorian calendar change, so it's a good idea to review a current lunar festival guide to ensure you're planning the right dates.
Timing is always important so for your Vietnam holiday, be mindful that the most important celebration is the Vietnamese New Year. Known as Tet, short for Tết Nguyên Đán, it celebrates Spring's arrival so it's often called Hội xuân (Spring Festival). The celebration of Tet is the culture's longest holiday and may last up to seven days. Usually falling in January or February, the new year will be celebrated in 2018 on February 18, marking the start of the Year of the Dog, following 2017's Year of the Rooster.
For this auspicious occasion, many customs are observed including preparing special holiday food such as bánh chưng (sticky rice cake), bánh dày (glutinous rice cake wrapped in banana leaf pieces), dried young bamboo soup (canh măng) and giò (fried pie). Visiting someone's home on the first day and family reunions are other popular customs as is ancestor worship, giving lucky money to children and elderly people, and opening shops. Families prepare by decorating their home with a small branch of peach flowers and placing a plate filled with five types of fruits on their ancestors' altar.
On the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the Perfume Pagoda Festival takes place (the next one is 2 March 2018). Thousands of pilgrims visit Vietnam's most famous Buddhist pilgrimage site, praying at the sacred cave for a prosperous year ahead. Devotees board boats, passing picturesque rice paddies and limestone mountains, then alight to walk past historical shrines and up hundreds of stone steps.
Many toys, candies, fruit, and entertainment make the Mid-Autumn Festival – Tết Trung Thu – a favourite with children. Taking place on the 15th day of the eighth month – 4 October 2017, and 24 September in 2018, Mid-Autumn parties are decorated with amazing lanterns and serve cakes such as banh deo and banh nuong, shaped like fish and the moon. Also you'll see colourful Lion dancers going from house to house, performing.
In the former imperial capital of Hue, a biennial (once every two years) week-long festival is celebrated. The Hue Festival features theatre, puppetry, dance, music and acrobatics performed around the city however most activities are performed in the Hue Citadel grounds.
A more frequent celebration, that you're more likely to catch, happens each month in charming Hoi An. Every full moon, candles are put in colourful paper lanterns which are floated into the river for the pretty Lantern Festival. On that night, it's free to enter Hoi An town's old attractions with all motorised traffic banned , ensuring it becomes an amazing venue for Vietnamese traditional arts, music and for the region's famous food.
So do your research on the lunar festival guide as well as check for great value-for-money Vietnam holiday packages to ensure your Vietnam holiday is your best holiday yet!
Vietnam People & Culture
People in Vietnam
Over 90.5 million people live in Vietnam, a population almost exclusively made of indigenous Viet (Kinh) people, with the remaining 10 percent made of 53 other ethnic groups such as the Cham, Chinese, Hmong, Tay, Nung, Muong, Khmer, Ede, and Hoa with a sprinkling of expats in urban areas.
Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are the most densely-populated but most of the population reside in rural areas.
Things to Do In Vietnam
Shopping in Vietnam
Vietnam is a shopper's paradise with its variety of quality goods at tempting prices, which are open to further bargaining at shops, stalls and shopping arcades everywhere. Take home a wide variety of handicrafts, including lacquerware, mother-of-pearl inlay, ceramics, bamboo products, jewellery, silk goods, intricately carved statues and paintings. Bespoke tailoring in quality silk and textiles is popular too, with many requests for the national dress ao dai.
Vietnamese Cuisine
Vietnamese Food
Nearly 500 traditional Vietnamese dishes are recognised, ranging from exotic meats such as bat and cobra, to a variety of fish, vegetables, spices and sauces. Central Vietnamese food is spicy, while the Northern Vietnamese cuisine is milder; the Southern Vietnamese favour a peppery flavour to their dishes, with Vietnam being the world's largest producer of the spice. Be sure to try the ubiquitous pho in Vietnam, a rice noodle dish served in a rich broth made of sliced pork, beef or chicken.
Essential Travel Tips for Vietnam
Going to Vietnam
Flights to Vietnam are served by most major airlines and land at the international airports at Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City is the nation's largest airport, which handles 75% of international passenger traffic. Vietnam Airlines is the state-owned airline.

Rapper Nicki Minaj has donated $5,000 to model Amber Rose's crowdfunding campaign to help launch her first female empowerment charity event.
Wiz Khalifa's estranged wife is raising funds to host the Amber Rose Slut Walk in a bid to fight sexual injustice and put an end to victim blaming in cases of sexual attacks.
The event is related to the first Slut Walk in Toronto, Canada in 2011, which was organized by a group of defiant women to protest comments made by a Toronto police offer, who advised female college students not to dress like "sluts" if they want to avoid becoming victims of sexual assault.
This week (begs03Aug15), Minaj decided to throw her support behind the cause by pledging $5,000, and Rose promptly took to Twitter.com to thank the Anaconda hitmaker for her donation.
Sharing a photo of the pledge, Rose wrote, "Wow!!!! Somebody Loves Muva (Rose) and totally gets the Movement!!!! Love u sis (sic)!!! @nickiminaj".
Model/actress Eva Marcille also handed over some cash, donating $150 on the GoFundMe.com page.
Rose had raised more than $28,000 of her $45,000 goal as WENN went to press.
The Amber Rose Slut Walk is slated to take place in Los Angeles on 3 October (15).

La festa della concezione immacolata di Maria (the Feast Immaculate Conception of Mary) is a Catholic festival day in celebration of the conception of Mary, sans mortal sin.
In Italy, the day is a public holiday. Since this year, the day falls on a Wednesday, many Italians are taking a few extra days off (known as a 'ponte', or, bridge) and having an extra long weekend. On the day itself, public transport will be operating on Sunday timetables, whilst many stores and attractions will also be closed for this feast day.
This day has also become a typical day for families to put up their Christmas tree and other decorations in preparation for 'Natale' on the 25th December and it is also the first of many religious feast days in anticipation of Christmas.
For most families, it will be a day ….
of extra-long lunches. And since a 'standard' Italian lunch entails a starter dish, main and often a side dish and/or dessert, it really does mean that lunch in Italy tomorrow will be a spectacular affair (as are almost all special occasions, such as public holidays, birthdays and Sundays generally!).
There are not really any dishes that typically coincide with this particular day, although in Italy, whatever is served, it is near guaranteed to be made from local produce, with traditional recipes, and sure to be delicious!
The recipe that is going to have one Artviva staff member with her sleeves rolled up in the kitchen to prepare is this delicious dish with a fabulous name, 'Malfatti Gratinati'.
Below is the recipe from Tessa Kiros' 'Twelve: a Tuscan cookbook'. Tessa is an Artviva friend, involved in the Artviva Festival (resuming again in 2011). Books are available in our office. If however you prefer a more hands-on approach, we also offer a range of cooking classes, and even cooking classes and market visits.
Artviva can also arrange a Tuscan hands-on cooking class or market visit and cooking class in Florence. If you'd prefer less hands-on but still enjoy the rewards of all that cooking, if you would like to learn more about wine production in Tuscany, or just practice some drinking of it in a traditional Tuscan setting, we have Tuscany tours that include typical Tuscan food and wine. We also have a wine tasting as part of our Original Evening Walk.
Malfatti gratinati
Baked spinach dumplings
By Tessa Kiros
Serves 6-8
1 quantity of béchamel sauce
250 ml fresh tomato sauce
1.2 kg fresh spinach or 500 g cooked spinach
500 g fresh ricotta cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
100 g (1 cup) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
A little butter for greasing
60 g plain (all-purpose) flour
'Malfatti' means badly made, so don't worry if your dumplings all look different ? that's how they should be. This will make about 30 dumplings.
Prepare the béchamel using only 60 g of flour and set aside. Prepare a smooth, fresh tomato sauce, puréeing it if necessary, and set aside.
Clean the spinach and cook in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes. Drain, and when it has cooled, squeeze out the water very well with your hands. This is important as extra water will make it difficult for the dumplings to hold their shape.
Chop the spinach finely. Add the ricotta cheese, the eggs, half of the Parmesan cheese and a grating of nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper, and mix with a wooden spoon to make a soft mass.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Liberally butter a large oven dish of substantial height, that will accommodate 30 dumplings and the béchamel. Dollop a little of the béchamel onto the bottom of the oven dish to just cover it.
Put the flour onto a flat plate and pat your hands in the flour. Using a tablespoon and your hands, form dumplings the size of a small egg, slightly elongated. Dust them very lightly in the flour and put them onto the béchamel in neat rows.
Cover with the remaining béchamel. Splash the surface with the tomato sauce and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden. Serve hot.


text: In 2003, S.T.O.P. support ministry was established by Velma Benjamin in order to encourage survivors of domestic violence. The main focus of the ministry is education, encouragement and empowerment. The acronym S.T.O.P. stands for Specially selected by God, Transformed to Serve, Overcoming past hurts, and Persevering into the future. Members of S.T.O.P. meet on a monthly basis in Brooklyn, NY for support and encouragement. In addition to hosting an annual retreat, S.T.O.P. support ministry sponsors a yearly conference in October in honor of domestic violence awareness month. Over the past several years, the ministry has raised funds to support domestic violence survivors. They have also sponsored multiple missions trips to the Caribbean–including Jamaica and Grenada–and a range of community events to bring greater awareness to domestic violence.

To Kill a Mockingbird
"Atticus is a failure both as a lawyer and a father". Discuss.
Atticus instilled his morals as a lawyer deeply into his children. Teaching them respect, equality and to always to their best. Any lawyer which represents their clients with these morals is no failure. Atticus taught his children these things as he wishes for his children to grow up with respect for everyone just as he has. Atticus was not a failure as both a lawyer and parent.
Atticus wants to bring his children up with the correct morals and ethics. He wishes for Jem and Scout to see everyone as equals, this is why he gets them to call him Atticus rather than Dad. He feels that if he doesn't uphold these morals himself, that he would never be able to tell Jem and Scout what to do, this is the case when Jem asks Atticus why he's defending a 'nigger'. Atticus wants to guide his children through life not control them. Many people would disapprove of the fact that he allowed Jem and Scout to go to the Tom Robinson case, however, Atticus sees this as allowing his children to see the harsh reality of such a racist community. He also believed growing up to be good people is a lot about learning from your mistakes. Jem and Scout love their father very much and have so much respect for him that they don't want to lose. These things do not give the impression of a father who has failed in bringing up his children.
Atticus is a very competent lawyer; he presents the case of Tom Robinson with competence and a good defence. Not only does Atticus present a solid defence, he presents a solid case that leaves virtually no room for doubt Tom Robinson is innocent and that the no rape occurred but that Bob Ewell assaulted his own daughter, Mayella. Tom Robinson's verdict was decided before the case even came to court but Atticus still represented him to the best of his ability. Atticus wouldn't have been appointed to represent Tom Robinson if Judge Taylor didn't believe Atticus would do all in his...

A protractor, a transit level, an adjustable triangle and a speed square are all tools for measuring angles. Some tools are specific to certain professions.Continue Reading
