One of our favourite things to do in PreK4 is sing! Here is a video full of our phonics songs. Our students love singing along, and doing the actions to each of the letters they have learned. So far, we have worked with letters Aa-Jj. If you're looking for a fun way to review during these rainy days, have your kids sing and dance to their Jolly Phonics songs!

Situated on the edge of the Karoo – a Khoi word meaning thirst land – and at the base of the spectacular Swartberg Pass, Prince Albert is a tiny hamlet with a staggering amount of national monuments. The residents take great pride in ensuring that their town is always clean and spruced up for visitors and passing travellers. And Prince Albert is earning quite a reputation for excellent food fare at the many restaurants that have popped up over the years.
Prince Albert was founded in 1842 and named after Queen Victoria's husband.
The mountain scenery surrounding Prince Albert is, in a word, magnificent. The town's serenity and friendly folks have convinced many a stressed city dweller to pack up and seek a better quality of life in Prince Albert.
For a small town, Prince Albert has much to offer and a weekend getaway is the minimum amount of time necessary to appreciate the area.
Top 6 reasons to visit Prince Albert
1. Explore the village to enjoy the architecture, quaint antique stores, art galleries, wool weavers and historic water mill. The curator at the Fransie Pienaar Museum offers enlightening tours of the town. The museum has one of the largest collection of fossils and witblits (white lightning) is sold here.
2. For art lovers, obtain a Prince Albert Arts and Design map from the tourism office (the museum) and visit the many galleries, theatres, photographic studios, metal forgers and a weavery along the route. Watershed has a Lego display well worth viewing.
3. Travel the scenic Swartberg Pass, constructed in the late 1800s and regarded as the country's most remarkable pass. Continue to the valley known as The Hell where a small self-sufficient group of individuals once resided, practically cut off from humanity. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended.
4. The Hell and Back Mountain Bike Challenge is a challenging 2-day mountain bike race through a valley located within a picturesque nature reserve.
5. Prince Albert is renowned for its olives (and figs) and the town hosts the Prince Albert Olive Festival every year in early autumn. Visit to savour the olives, olive oils, fresh home-baked breads, cheeses and plump figs, and accompanied by a sweet wine from the region.
6. Take a trip into the Swartberg Nature Reserve to hike the various trails for an opportunity to see leopard, baboon and various antelope species. The reserve has a dam and fishing is allowed with a permit.
Prince Albert can be reached either from the Cape Town International Airport, 390km away, or the George Domestic Airport, 170km away. Car rental agencies are located in Cape Town, George and at the airports, otherwise order a rental online and collect at a convenient location. There are no trains and bus services into and out of Prince Albert, however, local tour operators offer shuttle services.
Did you know?
SoetKaroo Wine Estate in Prince Albert produces dessert wines from a tiny vineyard of 1ha in size. The owners are registered to grow the grapes, make wine, bottle and label, somewhat unusual for such a small winery. Their wines are only available from the estate.
Witblits is a traditional South African spirit made from grape waste. Farmers create the high proof alcohol drink from recipes handed down over many generations. This fire water could be compared to moonshine and, like moonshine, distilling the product privately is illegal.
Self Catering places can be found from rural to urban areas and can vary in what they offer. They allow plenty freedom and is a great inexpensive way to spend your holiday. They have been widely classified as a "Home away from home". This is a good option for guests who don't mind cooking their own food, and are looking for a more independent and flexible form of accommodation. For budget and large families, we would recommend self-catering for a more personalised experience.

Pittsfield Commission on Disabilities seeks to reserve handicapped parking fines for access issues
PITTSFIELD — Cracked curb cuts can flip a wheelchair, say members of the city's Commission on Disabilities, and so it's important they don't fall by the wayside.
June Hailer, commission chariwoman, said in previous years the city set aside money for improvements requested by the commission. But the money stopped coming during this fiscal year, she said, and there's no return in sight.
That's why she's asking the City Council to establish a separate account, populated by revenues from handicapped parking violations, to fund requests made by the commission. The City Council Ordinances and Rules Committee voted unanimously to recommend the move to the full council, which will take it up during its meeting on Tuesday.
"It's for the benefit of the population at large," Hailer told councilors.
Hailer pointed to attempts to get a signal at the four-way intersection where East meets Elm and 4th streets as an example of one of the commission's requests.
"It's a safety issue," she said. "Kids cross there all the time."
During the last fiscal year, the city raised $40,000 in handicapped parking fines, a sharp increase from the previous year, during which it raised $14,875. Finance Director Matt Kerwood said the spike likely stems from increased enforcement. Each ticket costs $200, he said.
While Hailer is requesting 100 percent of the annual handicapped fines be used for commission requests, Kerwood said officials would need to negotiate an appropriate split. The state law that allows for the separate line item doesn't offer guidance, he said.
"The statute is silent on that," he said.
Commissioner Pat Sheely, who uses a motorized wheelchair, pointed out a few problem areas around City Hall and the Pittsfield Post Office that pose challenges for people on wheels. She said a mangled curb cut — the sloped edge of a curb that feeds crosswalks — forces her to scoot out into the road to avoid tipping her chair.
She said there are many deteriorated curb cuts around the city.
"You can see they throw down asphalt," she said, pointing to a bumpy pile of layered asphalt along Fenn Street that covers a curb cut with large gaps in it. "They have a list a mile long."
Sheely said she understands money is tight, but still "it's important that these things get repaired."
Public Services Commissioner David Turocy said it all comes down to money, and often it makes more sense to replace a whole sidewalk rather than repair one crumbling curb cut.
"We haven't had a dedicated funding source," he said. "That whole sidewalk in front of City Hall needs to be done."
Turocy said the city's newly formed Complete Streets Committee, of which Hailer is a member, will soon draft a plan prioritizing street issues. The plan will be used to apply for a Complete Streets grant from the state, which could yield up to $400,000 a year in street-level improvements.
Meantime, members of the Commission on Disabilities are growing impatient.
"I'm tired of waiting," Hailer said, citing the cracked curb cut outside City Hall that catches her wheel. "We've been trying to get that done for over three years."

Except for the more casual fits, most jerseys have elastic at the waist to help keep it in place and prevent wind blowing beneath. Some also add a gripper to keep the jersey from sliding up over your hips as you change positions, stand to climb, etc.
Women's jerseys and tops have zippers that make it easy to get them on/off and allow convenient ventilation. Longer zippers let you let in more air, which is handy in warm weather and if you ride in hilly terrain and constantly heat up and cool off over the ups and downs.
A full zip is especially convenient if you wear bib shorts because it means not having to remove your helmet to pull the jersey over your head to take it off. There are also "invisible" zippers that are sewn into the jersey in such a way that they hide when up. This way they don't interfere with the jersey's print design.
Many women's race-style jerseys will have three pockets across the back just like traditional men's jerseys. However, since women have smaller backs and narrower waists, many manufacturers are putting only two pockets across the back for a better fit, which you may or may not like, since that's one less pocket to carry your essentials.
Some designers incorporate a hidden rear pocket for an MP3 player, phone or keys. Casual and mountain styles will often have just one hidden zip back pocket that doesn't scream "biker!" when you stop for some ice cream or wear it to Spin class.
Other Considerations
Some jerseys with pockets for MP3 players incorporate a method of headphone cord management. Even more common are reflective accents for safety.
Sleeveless Jersey Styles
For those who do not want tan lines or are looking more for fashion than function, check out these styles:
Sleeveless Jerseys have the same fit and features as sleeved models but without sleeves.
Halter Tops have completely open backs with no shoulder straps and a built-in shelf bra. You get the fewest tan lines. They're fitted with a loose hem.
Camis have narrow, sometimes adjustable shoulder straps and a built-in shelf bra. They're fitted.
Tanks have wide shoulder straps like a traditional sports bra, and may incorporate a built-in shelf bra. They're fitted in the top and a little looser at the waist. They may have a pocket or two. This is the common style used for triathlon-specific tops.
Shelf Bras are built-in bras that eliminate extra tan lines. These are usually best for small to medium cup sizes. Women with larger busts may still want to wear a sports bra underneath for better support.
Long-Sleeve Jersey Styles
While they're practical, long-sleeve jerseys for women aren't all that common. This is because they're usually too warm for nice-weather riding so they don't typically get that much use. And, because you can simply wear arm warmers to turn any short-sleeve jersey into a long-sleeve one. A lot of women also wear base layers beneath their short sleeves to get a little extra comfort. Layering means it's easy to change for the conditions too.
Winter - Usually winter jerseys are similar in design to short-sleeve jerseys, but some are made of more protective fabrics. And, you get the coverage and warmth of long sleeves.
Sun-Blocking - There are a few lightweight long-sleeve jerseys for those who require extra sun protection and blocking. They are usually a light color and the fabric has extra UV protection built in.
Mountain-Bike - There are also some long-sleeve or 3/4-sleeve mountain-bike jerseys that are cut very roomy to fit over armor or for a casual, T-shirt style look.
We hope these tips for tops will help you find women's jerseys you love. If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to showing you our wide selection in person.

I teach both children and young people on Chinese. Mainly the lession is one hour or two hours' session with vocabulary dication, reading and spelling error correction, interaction and topic discussion. I adjust the teaching material according to the standard of each student and they can learn quickly and happily.
Reading in my main teaching methodology. My main idea toward learning language is that reading some materials that suite for someone can help them understand the language and exert language. Besides, communicated with native speaker is most important thing to develop speaking skill.
G'day,This is Nick. A humorous and patient Chinese tutor from SH. My teaching method is quite unique and well-tailored. I will prepare particular materials for my students according to their Chinese level, their ages, learning curves and personalities. The teaching session takes 30 minutes: 25-minute teaching + 5-minute questions answering.
My teaching method is talk with each individuals and set up the suitable method to teach different students. But the whole concept is make sure every student can understand the knowledge in short time and use it easily. I hope every students will feel happy after my class.
As a learner of English and Japanese which are both my second-language, I exactly understand how hard to start to learn a new language. Tutor's role is necessary and the most important thing is how to find your own way. Also, a system of teaching/learning will make more effective and efficient. My teaching methodology is step by step.
I personally think that the most effective way of learning a new language is through listening and speaking. Just like how babies learn to speak.
I do not have a particular teaching method. I believe that every student is individuals, therefore, I need to work with my student and find out what is the best way to teach them. Also, I can use all types of textbook student provides.
I approach my lessons topic by topic, preferring to follow a laid out outline. If I feel that my student has an area that they need to improve on, I will focus on that area until they are very good at it.
Lessons are 1 on 1 or 1 on 2, which gives you very-focused attention. Learning materials are supplied and based on practical needs. My Lessons are relaxing and with strong focus on conversational Chinese, you'll be able to speak Chinese from the first class. Moreover, you'll get to know about the real Chinese Culture and Lifestyle without (or before) going to China.
I am a Bachelor's Degree student currently studying at UQ. I am very responsible and patient. I usually go topic by topic, and I go accordingly to the pace of the student. I never get angry on students, because I believe that would only make them hate the subject more. If you're interested, you can call or SMS me. Thanks.
I can teach based on the training book provided by potential student, or, discuss with the potential student as needed.
My teaching method is to enhance the basic language principle and encourage practice afterwards. I like playing some language games with students in the tutorial to help them remember. Correcting pronunciation and encouraging conversations are my favorite parts in teaching.
My teaching method is based on 8 steps including 5 on class and 3 after class. That is Pre-class test, New lessons, instant check, review, Post-class check, chat online after class for your feedback of homework, an short online class before next lesson, check your homework.
My teaching method is to allow them to understand the content and bring into practice. To me, to clearly understand and learn something, you need to apply into the context by discussing and having fun practicing.
I encourage my students to think and I have great humor to make the class interesting so students can learn in a fun way. I am passionate about helping kids who are tired of school to enjoy learning again and to see how their schoolwork can be so much more fun. I inspires confidence in kids who have had a tough time and tell them that they should never give up on themselves.
I exactly know how struggled will be when you can't understand about new language, it keeps bothering me a lot when I learn English. The best way to solve is to keep practicing, like how I do. I bring myself to an English-speaking country to let the environment changing myself fit into this country.
I want to help people master the daily communication in Chinese. We will start from Pinyin, which is the basic of Mandarin, and then goes to words/sentences. I will use some Chinese movies/books/TV shows to help you understand the REAL CHINESE . What's more, we can chat with all my Chinese friends to practice and reinforce what we learn.
The structure of the lesson is totally up to you. For uni/high school students I would like to help them with their uni/school work while for mature professionals I would like to know what interests you the most before we start.
Most suitable for primary/secondary students who need help with Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology or Statistics (questions with school work/prep for exams). Can also teach piano (up to Grade 8), Chinese (Cantonese/Mandarin) and swimming.
I am Chinese and I can speak influent English.I usually teach first learners.If you enjoy studying Chinese and want to follow a NATIVE speaker then I am the only one choice. Teaching method:From pronunciation to writing,I like to teach them in different ways,such as imitation and situational analysis.
I am still a student from overseas studying my Bachelor's degree in Australia. And Cantonese and Mandarin are my native languages. I have been a tutor for 7 months already. I believe I have the ability to teach others these two languages.
I will talk to students first and work with them to set up the most suitable method for each student which is tailor-made. Of course I can use all types of textbook that students provide. The difference between my tutoring and others' is that my way is the cool way and fun way. I will make sure my teaching method is interest-oriented and needs-oriented.
My teaching method is based on student's needs. if you are interested in speaking. We will focus on reading, listening and speaking. if you intend to pass a test. We will focus on material related to the test. The class will include cultural backgrounds. paper-cuts, brush writing, in words learning and so on.
- To create an enjoyable and fun learning experiences for my students to absorb the required knowledge - To create connections between acquired knowledge with real life experiences - To provide guidance and care for my students to become responsible global citizens
I am a friendly, positive and patient person who is always confident in teaching my students well. Besides, I am very good at pronounce and my English is also good. Thus, I will be suitable for the beginners to have a good foundation and my expression between Mandarin and English will not be a problem.
My teaching method is try my best to explain in a varitey of way until students understand. In addition, I am very patient and love to be with and teach disabilities. BY playing games and tell stories to attract student's attention.
My teaching methodology is understanding. I will have a depth communication with children and find out their interests. I am a good listener which I believe is important for childrem. I will give every child full love with the most suited teaching method. Inspiring and motivation are used throughout my lessons.
I have always believed in the importance of understanding rather than forced memorisation when it comes to learning.
My teaching method is very easy and relaxable and I can induce students to learn in an interesting way rather than giving them a lot of pressures. I can treat students studying language as a hobby and give them a good impression of learning language.
- Combining the cultural background with the language teaching is the most important thing that I believe. By showing my life experience in different countries, students will be able to understand why Chinese and Japanese talk in that way. That's how to become an authentic foreign language speaker.

I started filming
in a few of our sessions a couple of years ago, and I have absolutely caught the bug! Ever since I was little I've wanted to make a film, creating scripts and storyboards, so I guess this is my time.
We have created short films
for artists and makers, and we love creating mini films for you and your family. We like to record the way they are at this time in their life, the little things they say, the way they curl their hair, their hugs for you.
If you'd like more information
or to book a session, just get in touch. Our short films start at £495.
Ethel & Mabel
A short film about two sisters and their cosy Saturday morning at home. Somebody told us recently that they watch this when they're feeling a bit down in the dumps and it lifts them right back up!
Count to Ninety
A short film about 11yr old Hanna who enjoys wild swimming. With the addition of a nose clip to her gear, there's been no stopping her!
As their eldest son is 18, and thoughts turn to leaving home, this lovely family wanted me to capture him and their time together.
The Christmas Tree
Here's a short film of Sebastian decorating their family Christmas tree. He told me with much excitement that it was a real tree, not a pretend one, as you'll hear from his excited chats on the film.

Rev. Silas Wood
9 Sutton Lane, Shrewsbury, SY3 7QQ
Tel. (44) 01743 260939
I am the minister for Belle Vue, Bayston Hill, Greenfields and Moreton Mill Methodist Churches.
I grew up living in Birmingham, then Felixstowe in Suffolk, moving to London at 19 then to Luton in Bedfordshire 3 years later. I studied for degree in Analytical Chemistry there, then went on to train as a primary school teacher.
I studied for the ministry part time with the Eastern Region Ministry Course whilst teaching. After finishing college in 2010 I moved to Shrewsbury with my wife Sue. We love the town with it's mixture of historic buildings, river, nearby countryside for dog walking and cycling, and the buzz of creative energy reflected in the many different festivals and events that happen here.
I enjoy all aspects of ministry, especially those that bring me alongside people of all ages in their day-to-day lives. I believe that worshipping God is something that is part of all aspects of our lives. I try to live this out and encourage others to do the same.
The Bible verse is I try to live by is Micah 6:8 which, from The Message, says 'But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbour, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don't take yourself too seriously – take God seriously'.

2016 Ford 11' Cabin
This truck is the impetus of AeroContinental. Intended to be a mobile base camp for kite sports, surfing, hunting and general exploration, this cabin is designed for utility. It is extremely lightweight, handles beautifully and is tough as nails.
This build features a modular bedroom, a full kitchen and a storable bathroom. It began life as a dually f-350 but was converted to super singles and is sitting on Continental MPT81's with LMTV wheels. We created CNC machined wheel adapters to fit these to the stock ford axles.
2017 Ram 9' Cabover
This build is on a 2017 Ram 3500 with the AEV prospector package. It is designed to be the ultimate cabin for two people, small enough to truly take off-road, but large enough to live in. Thoroughly tested throughout California after Overland Expo West, we are really happy with the size and capability of this truck. Big enough to live in, small enough to truly take off-road.

[Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
Chapter 11 – Using Equipment to Crush the Opposition
**Originally translated by Incarneous, with edits
Ah Hu revealed a stumped expression. He did not understand the deeper profound meaning behind his young master's simple orders.
Nevertheless, he carried out Yan Zhaoge's directives to the letter.
And what unfolded confirmed that situation had been well within Yan Zhaoge's expectations.
The young disciples of Broad Creed Mountain had started out at a disadvantage. Still, once Ye Jing and Sikong Qing arrived on site, they quickly gained the upper hand.
As both sides fought each other, the fight progressively got more serious. This group battle in the Sealing Dragon Abyss resulted in both sides drawing their weapons.
The Sacred Sun Clan was a Sacred Ground on the same level as or perhaps even superior to Broad Creed Mountain. Their young disciples at the Body Refinement realm would only dare enter a danger zone like the Dragon Sealing Abyss for tempering purposes. Those that came were all major talents with strength surpassing those of the same age and cultivation realm.
For this very reason, their clan was willing to invest in them. Each of them were wealthy by average standards and possessed their own demi-artifact.
The most talented among them even possessed their own artifact.
There were only twenty Sacred Sun Clan members, yet they had eight low-grade artifacts amongst them. The moment they brought out these artifacts, the surrounding spiritual qi surged and a bright glow lit up everything within a hundred meters.
Then… these Sacred Sun Clan disciples were suddenly shocked stupid.
The sixteen Broad Creed Mountain disciples facing them each brought out their own artifact. In fact, a few of them actually had more than one artifact.
What followed was an earth-shattering collision between the two sects. Eventually, the Sacred Sun Clan disciples, who only possessed eight artifacts, fell in dire straits like a small sampan trying to withstand a raging storm, about to sink at any moment.
All the Sacred Sun Clan disciples were angry enough to vomit blood, "The Sealing Dragon Abyss is indeed a danger zone, but isn't this Broad Creed Mountain too extravagant? They actually gave each disciple their own artifact!"
"Maybe they have some sort of special mission? But, who would send a bunch of disciples only in the Body Refinement realm on a special mission?"
"They're not here for us, are they?"
"They have too many artifacts! A wise man knows when to fight and when to run. Let's retreat and get revenge another day!"
The Sacred Sun Clan disciples retreated as they fought. Ye Jing, Sikong Qing, and the others pursued them all the way.
The combat advantage granted to cultivators of their level by artifacts was not small. Therefore, the Sacred Sun Clan disciples had difficulty even just trying to get away.
After a strenuous retreat to their temporary base within the calm central area of the vortex, they once again surrounded by the Broad Creed Mountain disciples.
The Sacred Sun Clan disciple who had caught the Light Spirit Cat laughed maliciously, "Very well. Does your Broad Creed Mountain want to go against my Sacred Sun Clan? This Light Spirit Cat is undomesticated. It's not something you raised. I caught it, so, naturally, it is mine to deal with however I want. What right do you have to interfere?"
The female Broad Creed Mountain disciple who had chased the Light Spirit Cat to this place shouted back, "That little cat is close to me. I am going to raise it!"
The youth snorted, "I don't see your name on it."
The girl's rage exploded, "You…!"
The leading Sacred Sun Clan disciple coldly said, "To provoke my Sacred Sun Clan over a single demonic beast, has Broad Creed Mountain recently grown stronger? Do not forget who's the number one Sacred Ground in the Eight Extremities World."
The Broad Creed Mountain disciples faintly knit their brows. Even though the Sacred Grounds were equally ranked, there was still some difference in strength between them. Currently, the Sacred Sun Clan who was flourishing the most had an attitude which was tough and tyrannical.
That Sun Saint Clan disciple said, "You guys are the newer disciples of Broad Creed Mountain, right? Inciting conflict between two Sacred Grounds; this kind of responsibility, is it something you can bear?"
With her ice sword, Sikong Qing blasted wind and frost across the sky, suppressing the artifacts on the other side till they could not make a single move. "A clash between our two Sacred Grounds is naturally something that I, a mere Body Refinement realm disciple of the younger generation, cannot bear responsibility for. However, the only thing I can manage and the only thing I need to manage is this sword in my hand."
She seemed to have shown weakness, but her words, 'a mere Body Refinement realm disciple of the younger generation', caused her opponent to feel his face flush with fiery heat.
If Sikong Qing was a Body Refinement realm disciple who could not bear responsibility for a clash between the two Sacred Grounds, her opponent was actually the same. Where then had he gotten the qualifications to speak so boldly?
Conflicts between the younger generation of Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan were actually commonplace. Each side had their own victories. Unless the matter was truly important, this type of thing would not easily involve the higher-ups of each clan. In the eyes of the senior generation, these conflicts were merely a from of tempering for the younger generation.
Losing a battle meant losing face. However, regaining face was a simple matter of winning the next battle. These exchanges would not easily lead to a full-out war.
A full-out clash between two of the giants of the current world would not be a simple matter. It would involve far too many things, and there were also the other Sacred Grounds watching hungrily on the side. This type of conflict would not easily occur.
However, should this type of conflict actually erupt, it would definitely unfold on a world-changing scale.
Ye Jing coldly smiled as he said, "You Sacred Sun Clan disciples can't beat us. So now, the only thing you know how to do is bring up your clan?"
The Sacred Sun Clan had been at the peak of the world of martial practitioners in recent years. Their disciples were truly outstanding and thus had become accustomed to acting overbearingly when outside the sect. This was especially true of the Sacred Sun Clan's newest disciples who were even more liable to run amok without fear. Their attitude towards disciples from Broad Creed Mountain and the other Sacred Grounds had gradually grown to be tainted with arrogance and contempt.
In previous conflicts between the younger generations, the Sacred Sun Clan had earned more victories than defeats against Broad Creed Mountain on the whole. The disadvantaged state they were currently in, therefore, had left them totally in turmoil and disbelief.
That Sacred Sun Clan disciple had been inattentive with his words. As such, Ye Jing and Sikong Qing had crushed him verbally.
However, he did not give up, snorting coldly as he said, "Heh. Today, you have more artifacts, so you'd better make sure we all die here in the Dragon Sealing Abyss if you have the ability. Otherwise, this debt will be repaid twofold someday. Do you think a mere dozen or more low-grade artifacts matter to my Sacred Sun Clan?"
The Broad Creed Mountain disciples only sneered in response, "Back before we were using artifacts, were you guys winning?"
The Sacred Sun Clan disciples could only seethe with anger. Before everyone had started using artifacts, their side had only been at a minor disadvantage. Who would have thought that after everyone had brought out their artifacts, the gap between the two sides had only grown wider, and they had ended up getting beaten up like useless grandsons. They hadn't even been able to escape successfully.
In contrast, the Broad Creed Mountain disciples were greatly invigorated with their spirits soaring to unprecedented heights.
"This is all thanks to senior apprentice-brother Yan. The feeling of using equipment to crush people is truly invigorating."
Just as they said that, the artifact in Ye Jing's hand suddenly began to vibrate.
Not only him but all the artifacts of all the Broad Creed Mountain disciples also began vibrating as if in warning.
Then, a single figure appeared in front of everyone without warning.
Framing this person seemed to be over ten million sharp needle-like rays of golden light shining in concert, a dazzling display that incited awe.
As if in response, the artifacts of Ye Jing, Sikong Qing and the others flared with the light of spiritual qi. They rushed simultaneously to attack the person who had just appeared.
Sharp and pointy golden lights flashed and all sixteen artifacts along with their owners were forced to retreat.
Those sharp and pointy golden lights were like real metal weapons. When they collided with the artifacts, an ear-piercing sound was released.
The Broad Creed Mountain disciples felt those acupuncture needle-like lights gently pricking them. Then, their previously excited blood and qi suddenly stopped flowing. Their cultivation seemed to disappear like snow on a hot sunny day, making it difficult to gather any strength.
The dazzling light dissipated to reveal a youth dressed in a golden-bordered white robe. He stood arrogantly in front of everyone.
Without doing anything other than simply standing there, his presence was like an invisible field that pressed down on the surroundings, completely suppressing everyone present.
Then, his entire person became like a black hole, creating a large suction force, such that the Broad Creed Mountain disciples could not have distanced themselves even if they had wanted to. Instead, they were forced closer to him by the suction force.
The low-grade artifacts of the Broad Creed Mountain disciples had all been blown out of their hands from the earlier exchange. They were currently on the ground, flashing with a slight radiance.
The Broad Creed Mountain disciples wanted to recall their artifacts through their spiritual link but the artifacts merely vibrated on the ground, unable to move, having been suppressed by that newly arrived person's strength.
That youth held both his hand behind his back and apathetically said, "This one is the Sacred Sun Clan's Chao Yuanlong. Which Martial Scholar has your Broad Creed Mountain sent to lead your group?"

Sec. 31-272-9. Penalties
A failure to comply with an obligation or prohibition imposed
by these rules of conduct or an order by the Board is a basis for invoking
the disciplinary process set forth in these regulations.
If, in its final decision, the Board concludes that an authorized
agent has committed misconduct, the Board may order the agent to comply
with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and may impose
a penalty. The Board may, upon finding mitigating circumstances or
that corrective action has been taken, dismiss the complaint. An
authorized agent who is determined to have violated the rules of conduct
or otherwise committed misconduct within the meaning of section 31-272-8
may be subjected to one or more of the following:
a letter of reprimand;
an order to comply with applicable law;
suspension of registration with the
Appeals Division;
revocation of registration with the
Appeals Division;
civil fines not to exceed one thousand
dollars per violation.
In assessing civil penalties, the Board
shall distinguish between serious violations which potentially
undermine the integrity of the appeals process and lesser
violations. Penalties shall be assessed based on the
gravity of the violation, the experience of the authorized
agent, the authorized agent's history of previous violations or
complaints filed of a similar or different nature, the number of
violations identified, whether the authorized agent was in
violation of an order previously issued by the Board, and the
existence of mitigating circumstances. If the Board finds
repeated violations, a serious violation, or a failure to comply
with the Board's enforcement orders, the maximum penalty of
revocation of registration and a civil fine of $1,000 per
violation may be imposed. For less serious violations or
first offenses, a lesser penalty will be imposed.
Sec. 31-272-10. Filing of the
Any person may file with the Board a written complaint alleging
misconduct by an authorized agent. The Administrator, any member
of the Labor Department, or a member of the Appeals Division, including
the Board or any member, may initiate and file a complaint alleging misconduct
by an authorized agent. The complaint shall contain the name of the
authorized agent, the party or parties being represented, and sufficient
information to identify the incident or incidents of alleged misconduct.
When, during the commission of the alleged misconduct, an individual authorized
agent is employed by an organization or business which is also an authorized
agent, both the individual agent and the organization may be named in the
complaint. The Board may seek additional information it deems necessary
to initiate an investigation, and may add additional authorized agents
to the complaint if it deems it appropriate.
Within ten calendar days of the receipt of the complaint,
the Board will mail notice that the complaint has been filed to the complainant,
the authorized agent against whom the complaint is filed, and all parties
and agency staff members directly involved in any proceeding in which misconduct
is alleged. The notice shall include the name of the complainant,
a copy of the complaint, notice that the authorized agent is entitled to
representation in any proceeding before the Board, and instructions regarding
the right to respond to the complaint in writing within twenty-one (21)
calendar days of the mailing date of such notice. Such response may
include any information, evidence or argument that the authorized agent
deems relevant to the complaint. The continuation and completion
of an investigation shall not be contingent upon such response.
Any complaint filed pursuant to these regulations must be
filed with the Board within ninety (90) calendar days of the conduct which
is the subject of the complaint.
The complainant and the authorized agent shall notify the
Board in writing of any corrections or changes of identifying information,
address or telephone number during the pendency of the proceedings on the
Sec. 31-272-11. Investigation
of the complaint
Upon receipt of a complaint filed in accordance with section
31-272-10 of these regulations, an investigation will be undertaken.
The Chairperson, as executive head of the Appeals Division, may appoint
as investigator any person employed in the Appeals Division who has not
been directly involved in the proceeding in which the misconduct is alleged
to have occurred.
The Board shall review the results of the investigation and
render a determination that probable cause or no probable cause exists
that the authorized agent has committed misconduct no later than ninety
(90) days from the date the complaint was filed.
At any point during the pendency of the investigation, the
Board may effect an informal resolution of the complaint which is mutually
acceptable to the complainant and the authorized agent.
Where the Board finds probable cause that misconduct within
the meaning of section 31-272-8 of these regulations has occurred, it may,
after considering the wilfulness and seriousness of the violation alleged,
the results of the investigation conducted pursuant to subsection (b),
the presence of extenuating circumstances, and the existence of previous
violations or complaints of similar conduct, issue an agency complaint.
The complaint shall be mailed to the authorized agent. A copy of
such complaint shall also be mailed to the complainant. The authorized
agent will be mailed a notice of hearing before the Board or a designated
hearing officer, pursuant to section 31-272-13 of these regulations.
The notice shall be issued at least ten days before the scheduled hearing.
Where the Board, as a result of an investigation conducted
pursuant to this section, finds that there is no probable cause that misconduct
by the authorized agent has occurred, or declines to issue an agency complaint,
it shall so advise the complainant and the authorized agent against whom
the complaint was filed, and shall dismiss the complaint.
The Board may, in its discretion, reconsider any agency complaint
or dismissal issued pursuant to subsection (d) or (e) of this section,
in response to a written request by the complainant or authorized agent,
or on its own initiative.
Sec. 31-272-12. Prehearing conference; resolution and reconsideration prior to an adjudicative hearing
At any time after the issuance of an agency complaint and
determination of probable cause of misconduct, and before the commencement
of a hearing, the Board may order, or a complainant or an authorized agent
may request, an informal prehearing conference. The granting or denial
of a request for a prehearing conference is within the discretion of the
Board or hearing officer designated by the Board.
A prehearing conference may be held for any of the following
to discuss the informal
disposition of the complaint;
to simplify or schedule
matters to be heard at the formal hearing;
to narrow the scope of
the issues in dispute;
to obtain stipulations
as to matters of fact;
to stipulate as to the
qualifications of expert witnesses to testify at
the hearing.
The prehearing conference need not be recorded, but a written
record will be made as to any stipulation agreed upon.
From the issuance of an
agency complaint finding probable cause pursuant
to subsection (b) of section 31-272-11 of these
regulations until the commencement of a hearing,
the Board may in its discretion effect
resolution of any complaint by way of a
settlement agreement. Any settlement
agreement shall contain:
the signatures of
the authorized agent or its representative
and the Chairperson of the Board;
an express waiver
of the right to challenge or contest the
validity of the agreement or any order
contained therein;
a statement that
the agreement represents a final disposition
of the complaint which shall have the same
force and effect as an order entered after a
formal hearing; and
any other
provisions appropriate to the settlement.
Once a hearing has
commenced, an informal disposition may be
made. A settlement agreement may be
negotiated by an authorized agent and the
Appeals Division. The acceptance of an
agreement is within the discretion of the
Board. The agreement shall contain the
information required in subsection 31-
272-12(d). A settlement agreement
adopted pursuant to this subsection or to
subsection (d) shall be deemed to have the
same force and effect as an order to comply
with applicable law issued under section
31-272-9(b)(2) of these regulations.
Sec. 31-272-13. Conduct of hearings
Hearings shall be presided over by the Board or by one or
more hearing officers designated by the Chairperson. A hearing officer
shall be designated in any case in which the complaint is filed by the
Board or one of its members. The designated hearing officer shall
not have initiated the complaint, personally carried out the function of
investigator, or otherwise been personally involved with the case.
An authorized
agent may challenge the interest of the
designated hearing officer by way of a
request to the Board which specifically
sets forth all reasons for the request.
A written request shall be filed with
the Board as soon as the hearing officer
is appointed. The Board shall
decide the challenge within ten days,
and shall appoint another person if it
grants the challenge. The mere fact that
an individual has previously served as a
hearing officer or decided a case
involving the authorized agent or a
similar issue need not, in itself,
preclude the person from serving as the
hearing officer.
The Board or
hearing officer shall have the power to:
the course of the hearing and the
conduct of the parties and their
counsel therein;
insure that
all testimony is given under oath or
rule upon
offers of proof and receive
and rule upon all motions; and
require any
additional written and/or oral

or hearing officer shall have the
power to compel attendance of
witnesses by subpoena and to require
the production of records, physical
evidence, papers and documents.

relevant evidence produced by the
investigation into the record of the
hearing. The authorized agent

right to inspect and copy relevant
and material records, papers and
documents not in their possession;
present evidence and argument on all
issues involved; cross-examine
witnesses; enter motions and
objections; and assert other
rights essential to a fair hearing.
Persons not
named in the notice of hearing may,
at the discretion of the hearing
officer, be given an opportunity to
present oral or written statements.
The hearing officer may require any
such statement to be given under
oath or affirmation, and shall give
such statements the weight the
hearing officer determines is
appropriate given the nature of the
complaint, the statement, and its
adjudicative hearings in matters
concerning the conduct of authorized
agents shall be recorded.
The Appeals
Division shall maintain a record
which includes (1) written notices
related to the case; (2) all
complaints, petitions, motions, and
intermediate rulings; (3)
evidence received or considered;
(4) offers of proof, objections and
rulings thereon; (5) the
recording or the transcript of the
hearing; (6) the proposed
final decision, if any, and any
exceptions and briefs filed;

shall make a proposed final decision. The proposed final decision
shall be served by United States mail upon the authorized agent and investigator
and an opportunity shall be afforded to file with the hearing officer exceptions
to the proposed final decision and present briefs.
A proposed final decision made under this section shall be
in writing and contain a statement of the reasons for the decision and
findings of fact and conclusions of law necessary to the decision.
Findings of fact shall be based exclusively on the evidence in the record
and on matters noticed.
Sec. 31-272-16. Final decision
When the hearing is conducted by a hearing officer, the final
decision shall be rendered by a majority of the Board. The final
decision may be based on the proposed final decision and any exceptions
and briefs filed. When the hearing is conducted by the Board, the
final decision shall be based on the hearing record and any briefs filed.
The Board shall adopt the proposed final decision rendered by the hearing
officer as its own in any case in which the complaint was filed by the
Board or one of its members.
A final decision shall be in writing and shall include the
Board's findings of fact and conclusions of law necessary to its decision.
Findings of fact shall be based exclusively on the evidence in the record
and on matters noticed.
The Board shall state in the final decision the name and address
of the complainant, the authorized agent, and, if appropriate, the party
represented by the agent.
The final decision shall be served on the authorized agent,
investigator and complainant by United States mail. The final decision
shall be effective when mailed or on a later date specified by the Board.
When the hearing is conducted by a hearing officer, the Board
shall render a final decision within ninety days from the date set for
the filing of briefs by the hearing officer in the proposed final decision.
When the hearing is conducted by the Board, the Board shall render a final
decision within ninety days of the close of evidence or the date set by
the Board for the filing of briefs, whichever is later.
Sec. 31-272-17. Reconsideration
The Board, on its own motion, or an authorized agent may,
within thirty days after the issuance of the final decision, file a petition
for reconsideration of the decision on the ground that: (1) an error
of fact or law should be corrected; (2) new evidence has been discovered
which materially affects the merits of the case and which for good cause
was not presented in the earlier proceeding; or (3) other good cause
for reconsideration exists. Within twenty-five days of the filing of the
petition, the Board shall determine whether the ends of justice require
reconsideration. If the Board does not grant the petition within
twenty-five days of such filing, it shall be considered a denial of the
petition. If the Board determines that reconsideration is required,
the Board shall proceed to conduct such additional proceedings as may be
necessary to render a decision modifying, affirming or reversing the final
decision of the Board.
At any time upon a showing of substantially changed conditions,
the Board may reverse or modify any final decision to revoke or suspend
an authorized agent's registration with the Appeals Division at the request
of the authorized agent or on the Board's own motion. The authorized
agent and complainant shall receive notice of the Board's intent to modify
or reverse its prior decision and may, within ten days of the mailing of
the notice, request an opportunity to be heard. The request shall
state the reason the person requests the opportunity to be heard, a description
of any evidence, testimony or argument that the person desires to introduce,
and an explanation of the importance of such evidence, testimony or argument.
If the Board determines that the ends of justice so require, the Board
may order that a further hearing be scheduled before the Board or hearing
officer, as the Board may direct.
The Board may, without further proceedings, modify a final
decision to correct any clerical error.
Sec. 31-272-18. Record of complaints
The Board of Review shall maintain a record of all complaints filed
and the disposition of each complaint. These records may be utilized
in determining an appropriate penalty in any future complaints.

The Wrap brings us the following:
Bradley Cooper is in early discussions to voice Rocket Raccoon for Marvel cinematic universe newcomer "Guardians of the Galaxy," a person familiar with the project told TheWrap.
An offer is in place and talks are ongoing, though no deal has been made. "Guardians" would be Cooper's first time voicing an animated character.
Marvel's interest in Cooper was first reported by the website Latino Review.
The role would give the "Hangover" star a chance to interpret a comicbook character that was deeply obscure for decades -- until Disney greenlit the movie, when Rocket became an instant topic of discussion among fanboys eager to embrace the blast-happy woodland creature from outer space.

The first style rule I learned was that your outfit should match. Match your shoes with your belt, match your bag with your shirt, match it all together and suddenly you're chic.Monochromatic elements were huge with my family and even as I got older it followed me through all of my style phases and rebellion.
Since I come from a more matchy matchy background the idea of mixing prints alluded me. Spots with stripes? Plaid and houndstooth? What is this purposeful clashing, how do you mash these completely different elements together and yet still look high fashion? I still haven't mastered the art of mixing prints and decided to leave that to you print loving goddesses with your elaborately beautiful eccentricities.
As time goes on playing the matchy matchy game became BORING. I started heading more towards minimalism in my attempt of getting out of the red with red, blue with blue life and started mixing more red, white and black or beige and more warm tones. I headed towards neutral city to start playing up other elements I didn't know were available to me.
As I'm still experimenting with other elements to build up my personal style portfulio who knows what I'll discover as I move away from the personal style patterns I was born into.Were you born into the matchy matchy way of dressing like me? Are you an involuntary member of the matchy matchy army? Let me know in the comment section below if you've ever felt frustrated by the style tips you've inherited?

Fresh dirt tilled to meet the sun for the first time in 40 years marks the new home for EarthShare Gardens, a nonprofit community group that has raised vegetables for those in need and nurtured neighborhood gardens across Lafayette.
"It's a new start for us," said EarthShare board member Julie LaFleur. "It's a blank slate, an empty field that has not had anything in it for 40 years."
The community garden will get that new start on 4 acres of land in Scott owned by the McMath family.
The lease, which will run for at least 10 years, will allow EarthShare Gardens to think of long-term expansions, EarthShare board member Stacy Scarce said.
"The biggest benefit is that we know it'll be there for 10 years, because we have that 10-year lease," she said.
Zack McMath and his wife, Melodie, the creators of artisan juice company Evolve Juice, approached EarthShare several months ago with the idea of relocating to their family's land, said EarthShare board member Chris Adams.
"We loved the idea, and the McMath family was amenable," Adams said. "So, we worked out an agreement."
Formed as a nonprofit in 2004 operating from a plot of land at Holy Rosary Institute, which is owned by the Sisters of the Holy Family, EarthShare began producing food with the help of farmer Robert Faul in 2005.
"We started as a way to get people in the Lafayette community connected back to where their food comes from and growing local, healthy, fresh produce," Adams said. "That's been our primary mission in the past years, and we've done that by setting up gardens."
The Holy Rosary site hosted a mix of community gardens for residents to grow their own fruits and vegetables and of donation gardens built specifically to grow food for FoodNet: The Greater Acadiana Food Bank.
In 2013, the garden gave the food bank more than 3,000 pounds of fresh vegetables.
Donations aside, the garden also allows residents to purchase plots to receive the food grown in them by Faul.
"It allows people to have a place to get local, fresh, organic food that is ripened on the vine," Scarce said. "There are many more nutrients in these foods because they have ripened on the vine, so it's a healthier choice."
After being forced to move out by their former landlords a year ago, the group operated out of a member's backyard in Youngsville.
Having to relocate was a chance to re-evaluate the garden's focus, Adams said.
"We decided to focus more vigorously on community gardening efforts and fresh vegetable donations," he said. "Giving back to the community has always been an important part of our mission, and we feel that we can do even more than in the past."

Tips to Improve Your ComplexionFebruary 17, 2015
Afternoon all? Hoping your week is off to a great start. So ladies today I felt I should share a few tips on how to transform your complexi...
One of the best ways to transform your complexion is to get your daily 8 glasses of water. You can easily increase that to 10-12 glasses and perhaps see even more benefits.
Drinking water is like magic for your skin. You can virtually eliminate the problem of having dry skin by doing this. Additionally, your skin will have a beautiful and natural glow from drinking adequate water each day.
Speaking from experience..believe it or not nowadays I drink up to 4 litres of water daily.
2.Use the right skin care formula
Exfoliation should be a part of every skin care regimen because it lifts dry, dull skin and allows products to penetrate and work more effectively. Look for exfoliating formulas with fruit enzymes . They gently dissolve dead skin. Stay away from products containing sharp nuts or seeds, because they can actually damage skin.
However, there are a couple of solutions to help with this. Wash your make up off before you get that tired or keep a package of make up removing cloths on your night stand for that exact reason.
And you don't need to have make up on in order to wash your face. Take for example with the hot Nairobi weather of late,,,imagine all that sweat, the dust particles and the frequent touching touching of your face..? All these are major causes of skin problems so let's learn to make this a habit and you'll obviously note a difference in your complexion.
Sun protection is the single most important element for healthy skin. Sun degrades the skin's collagen and elastin, and affects our body's ability to create healthy new cells. So make it a resolution to never leave the house without applying sunscreen.
8.Get regular facials.
Exactly how often you need a facial depends on your skin type. Be sure to discuss any issues you're having before you begin so your aesthetician can choose a treatment that is targeted for your skin type. You could also choose to do a home made facial so you cut on costs that would otherwise have been incurred in a Salon.
9.See a dermatologist

Trying the water trick but its so hard:-( 8 glasses a day. This just motivated me to pull up my socks.Thanks Linda.:-).www.proudlyelled.comReplyDeleteReplies
Trust me its never easy when you start but getting myself a water bottle and carrying it every day to work has really helped me a lot and believe me you will notice a big difference on your face..it works. The glow afterwards is just amazing. Give it a try..!Delete
Looks helpful and promisingReplyDelete

Thank you for your comment because it has actually made me realize that I didn't put the bit of washing the face even with no make up which is really important. Imagine all that dirt, dust and sweat that accumulates on your face on a normal day..leave alone that.When you touch touch your face all the time..all these are a major cause of skin problems so its advisable to wash your face before bed. Thanks for reading..xxDelete
Definitely trying them outReplyDelete

Hello everyone,
so I have created a nice Smartform, and a corresponding Smartstyle along with it. In the Smartstyle I chose the font ARIAL. The "Font Style" dropdown box has two possible values: empty and "Bold Italic". I chose the empty (space) value because I did not want my whole Smartform to be in bold italic style.
Everything works just fine in the development system, so I have transported to the production system. However, for some reason the whole Smartform is in bold italic there! I checked the corresponding Smartstyle (which belonged to the same transport) and find no difference to the development system: The "Font Style" box is empty. The Smartstyle appears to be identical on development and production system (as it should be after a transport). Nonetheless the Smartstyle appears to behave differently on the production system than on the development system.
What can I do to convince the production system not to display all the Smartform texts in bold italic?

When JPMorgan Chase was recently unveiled as the winning bidder on MetLife's $70 billion residential servicing portfolio, some in the industry scratched their heads.
As one advisor who tracks the market quipped: "It's the first time Chase showed up in years." (No purchase price was disclosed on the deal.)
Although a spokeswoman for JPM declined to discuss the purchase in detail, a statement released by MetLife (which quotes JPM executive Eric Schuppenhauer) suggests that the megabank may've changed its mind about the servicing side of the business.
"The acquisition of this high-quality portfolio reflects our strategy to strengthen and grow our servicing business," Schuppenhauer said. "We will be able to provide our full range of products and services to an additional 350,000 individuals and families. We expect that many of these customers will take advantage of historically low interest rates by refinancing."
But the statement also suggests that the bank is more interested in the fee income it can make from refis as opposed to servicing fees.
Over the past few quarters JPM has been shrinking its MSRs, even selling some of its receivables. In 2Q12 its MSRs declined by 9%, in 1Q12 8%.
But with the MSRs of the now-defunct MetLife Home Loans soon to be under its belt, the decline has been reversed, which could mean that some banks, after shrinking their investment in servicing, may see value in the product.
As most servicing professionals realize, it's a buyer's market for MSRs. In short, there's plenty of product to be had. As Michael Carnes, senior vice president of the capital markets group at MIAC Analytics, New York, recently told clients, "For those contemplating the purchase of servicing, consider the following: Beyond doubt, mortgage servicing rights values remain at historically low levels, potentially creating one of the best buyer's markets in history. Prices for servicing have dropped to very attractive yields relative to the risk profile of the asset class."
According to figures compiled by ASR sister publication National Mortgage News and the Quarterly Data Report, almost $700 billion of servicing rights are in some stage of auction or sale.
By now, the reason for it being a buyer's market are well known: pending Basel III capital rules make holding MSRs more difficult and expensive for commercial banks; delinquencies are still high, though falling noticeably from last year and the year before; and lastly, prepayment speeds are accelerating thanks to record low mortgage rates. (Representations and warranties are also an issue.)
The only good news on prepayment speeds is that they'd be even faster if it weren't for ultra-tight underwriting standards.
As far as pending deals are concerned, two sales represent a majority of the soon-to-transfer market: $374 billion of MSRs that belong to Residential Capital Corp., which are slated for sale to Ocwen Financial and Walter Management, and $122 billion of product being offered by Ally Financial, the parent of ResCap.
Ocwen also is scheduled to purchase $74 billion of product when it closes on Homeward Residential, a shop being sold by bottom fisher WL Ross & Co.
Up until early November, the largest "un-attached" portfolio was the MetLife package. Meanwhile, rumors abound that Bank of America might soon unload a large chunk of its $1.5 trillion portfolio but so far the bank has said little about the topic.

Kathy and I first came to know Jim and Wendy in 1966, some 44 years ago, in Assam, N E India where Jim was a Tea Planter. Since then, our two families have enjoyed a lasting friendship, sharing many happy times and holidays in Assam, Hong Kong, Provence and elsewhere. Jim's sense of fun was always a stimulus to enjoyment!
As most of you know, the planters' lifestyle in Assam for socialising and recreation centred on house parties and gatherings in planters' clubs. Jim, being of a gregarious nature and a keen sportsman, relished the frequent after-sports and other gatherings and the need for rehydration - read refreshment sessions - in the clubs enjoyed by so many planter families. Having a lively personality, humorus and ever- generous, he was both popular and always the life and soul of any party - wherever and whenever!
What of Jim's life. He was a man of many parts. As a soldier: he was evacuated from Dunkirk in 1940; later, he joined the Indian Army and served in N W India in the famed Khyber Pass region bordering Afghanistan; then, he served in Burma where he earned a gallantry medal for bravery against the Japanese - until recently, this was unknown even to his family as he never spoke of it; post-war, he was briefly an Artist in the South of France but retained his artistic skills as a hobby for the rest of his life.
In 1948 he joined the Tea Industry in Assam and rose to become a senior Tea Garden Manager and sometimes Superintendent of his Tea Company. Using his man-management skills, he was respected for his successful management of the various, larger tea estates where he served.
Above all, Jim was a family man, a wonderful husband and father, always full of fun and a friend to all. Sadly, he has left us all for a better place. But he has left us with a fond memory of a very dear, merry gentleman. Jim, old friend, in saying farewell to you, we thank for your friendship and good cheer.
Our condolences to Wendy, his loving and caring wife, his three wonderfully supportive children and seven grandchildren.
