Title: Kitemark Road Product Testing
Organisation: BSI
Date uploaded: 6th December 2010
Date published/launched: Pre 2009
BSI (British Standards Institution) offers a comprehensive testing and certification service for manufacturers of road studs and line marking materials.
After the conclusion of extremely comprehensive tests, particularly for products that are designed for permanent installation, BSI assesses the results and produces appropriate documentation. Accepted by the Highways Authority, the Welsh Assembly Government and local authorities as evidence of performance, this documentation is an essential aid to getting products specified for major contracts.
The National Road Trials Material Test Site, which is operated in conjunction with and under the authority of the Welsh Assembly Government, was first brought into use in August 2007 and is now continuously available for long-term testing. In addition to exposing the products under test to actual traffic and weather conditions, the site also offers equipment to log the number of wheel passes, in line with the requirements of many applicable standards.
For users of the test site, BSI offers a complete service, including planning and, in the case of road studs, obtaining permission from the Secretary of State for Wales for the studs to be installed temporarily for the duration of the test. For road studs, BSI issues test reports at the end of the test period. For road markings, a summary certificate showing the durability class of the product is issued, as well as detailed test reports.
The new testing facility operated by BSI offers an exceptionally accurate way of evaluating the performance of road studs and line markings, and delivers results that are much more closely related to practical experience than the laboratory-based tests widely used in other parts of Europe.

... been abusing opiates for almost two years. I start a Sub program tomorrow, along with 4 NA meetings per week. I have tried cold turkey quits many times and failed. My lastest attempt was less than two weeks ago, made it 2 1/2 days only to fail once again. I did succeed in lowering my dose by quite a bit. I am taking half of the total mg that I was. My question is, being that I am already feeling some withdrawl symtoms, and i start the Sub program tomorrow, is it a positive that I reduced my intake before starting the program? I have not yet seen the Doctor for my blood screening
Opiate Withdrawal - Hello everyone! I am new to this group and site. I am an opiate addict, I have?

Added 30 Nov 2010:
Ok i have new details to add. Today I recieved my first dose of sub. The doctor gave me 8mg at his office and then re-evaluated in an hour and a half. He only asked how I felt. I responded to him honestly, saying, all my withdraw feelings had disappeared. He didnt ask any other questions. I was 30 hours into withdraw before the dose. When I filled my prescription, I realized that he had prescribed 16mg a day. I am 7 hours into my first dose and still feel fine. I am asking for opinions, is this too much? I am planning to ride this out and try to not take anymore than 8mg a day. Opinions?
Added 4 Dec 2010:
Next update:
I have found a comfortable dose, I'm currently taking 6mg a day. I plan to step to only 5mg beginning on Monday. How soon will it be comfortable to take another step? Thanks for all the advice, so far I have followed what people with experience have said, instead of my Quack, ummmm I mean Doctor. I'm finding that I feel somewhat good, the first few days I had alot of nausea, but that seems to have gone away. Still have alot of urges, i know, learn to live with it! Urgggggggg. Have to admit, my confidence is much higher than a week ago about quitting. Thanks all!

You have to be in withdrawal for about 24 hours before you can start subs and not go into something called precipitated withdrawal. Don't take anymore opiates today, tonight or in the morning if you are going to start subs. You can take imodium ad or advil. Don't take benzos either.
I know you will be tempted to take either, but don't.
i dunno about the immodium, lopermide the main ingrediant is an opiate
The rx version of imodium has an opiate in it, the over the counter stuff can't have that in there, would be illegal to sell that over the counter.
Thanks for your responses! I was advised by the Doc to refrain from taking after 6pm this evening. That sound right if my appt. is at 10am tomorrow?
Personally, I would follow Patti's advice on subs. She really knows her stuff and has been through the entire process. Try not to start out on a very high dose of the suboxone. Remember, you can always take more but you can't take less. Congratulations on quitting the opiates and best wishes to you!
I didn't mean don't follow your doctors advice, only that Patti is the Sub expert here (and a few others) and has tapered off them with much success. She has more knowledge on the subject than your average doctor.
If he starts you on subutex that would be ok, I would be leery of taking any opiate withing 24 hours of suboxone. Suboxone can very easily throw you into withdrawal if you have opiate on the receptor sites. Do you know if he will be using subutex, if you don't, do NOT take anything opiate within 24 hours of your induction.
Added new details that are open for opinion.
The standard dose to start with seems to be 16 mgs, and that is too much for most people, but they don't realize it. With subs, less is more and if you are fine, then stay on the 8mgs. It lasts for several days on the receptor sites in the brain after it has been used a few days in a row and you will know if you need more as you won't be comfortable. If you do think you need a bit more than the 8 mgs, try 2 mgs in the early afternoon. 2 mgs is one fourth of the 8 mg tablet.
Congrats again on taking this big step. Patti really has excellent advice and knows all about subs. I'm not just saying that because she's a friend, she really knows more than many doctors licensed to prescribe the stuff! When the time comes, she will have a good taper plan for you too. Take care and hope it goes very smoothly for you.
I wouldn't take an extremely high dose of Sub. I was presfribed Subs and I was on them for only a month and I have been off of them for 2 months now and I still have slight withdrawal symtoms. I just want you to know that if you eventually decide to get off of them it will be much harder the longer you are on them and the higher the dose. Try to get youself feeling good on a low dose. Taper gradually down to a low dose with a doctors help. I tapered on my own without any help and I just used a pill cutter and cut them in half and then in quarters. You will be amazed how something the size of a damn bread crumb can make you feel normal.
IMO 16mgs is WAY too. High!!! If you read around the site you will find a lot of docs putting people on subs at these high doses making them almost impossible to come off of!! If you couldn't do your WD CT then doing it off subs at 8 16 and 24mg is 10 times worse... The longrr your on it the harder it is. The higher your dose the longer your on it! LESS IS MORE. Doctors don't know what their doing when it comes to this drug... Its so new it'll take a long time for them to learn what WE have learned through experiance on this site!!
He SHOULD have started you off at 2mg waited and hour asked how you were and given you 2mg more!
You could have prob leveled off between 4 and 6mg. But your at 8 that's ok STAY at 8!!!
Start reading through the forums that robert 325. OR intelmetal wrote or commented on because their tapper plans WORK with little to NO WD!! I can't remember if your susposed to drop by half the following day, or in 4 days meaning at some point in the next few days you should be stable at 4mg!!! Ill look n see if I can find the info and come back and let you know.
My suggestion is if you Want to make it drug free you follow the info given on this site by the members who have been here a while and NOT your doctor. I mean these are people who have done it!!!
NA meetings are great your well on your way congrats!
Thanks for the Help!
I was on opiates for 3 yrs before I started the treatment program. The day I want in to get help was hell. I had hit rock bottom. I am only on 8 mgs a day but boy when I forget to take it, I feel like hell. My advice to you is, if you feel fine then don't take more that you need. However, having said that, your Dr. prescribed that dose for a reason. Just keep in mind the more you take the longer it will take to wein yourself off which should be around your 6th month of taking the suboxone. I am so happy that you got help. Congrats to you!

A Cooperative College-School Elementary Science Program.
Sylvestre, Mark T.; And Others
Science educators from Plymouth State College and elementary teachers from New Hampshire's Supervisory Union 48 organized as a cooperative committee to develop a program: 1) to stimulate and assist New Hampshire school districts in modernizing their elementary school science programs by providing a model program for their observation, modification, and eventual adoption; and 2) to update the preparation of elementary science teachers so that they might better teach their pupils and serve as supervising teachers for student teaching programs. Plymouth State College agreed to conduct a 30-week institute to train these teachers in teaching elementary science, specifically in the use of ESS materials. The school boards within the Union agreed to send their teachers to the institute and to implement the program in 1972. The program was financed by a special program grant for a local charitable organization, the Spaulding-Potter Trust. The institute is being evaluated through pre and post measures of the participants' understandings of and attitudes towards science. Written critiques and open feedback on the methods and materials presented in the institute are evaluated as they are used by the participants in their elementary classrooms. (Author/MBM)

The Method
To start with it truly is essential to know which offshore entry technique you would like to employ in your organization. Would you like to transfer personnel by helicopters? A jack-up platform? Or does the Windcat Workboat appeal probably the most for you? This really is an important choice
Marcel Dionne Jersey
, since each and every strategy has its benefits and drawbacks, and a few marketplace segments choose one method over one more.
The helicopter incorporates a huge edge due to its quick lead time. This is an important criterion for customers, due to the fact time is literally money while in the offshore industry. Even so, the helicopter has several flaws. As an example, it is relatively unsafe. Additionally, the helicopter is extremely susceptible to external problems like the weather, triggering tons of downtime.
The Windcat Workboat is the most popular choice in the offshore wind sector. The Windcat Workboat might be described as a little vessel that is certainly used to navigate to offshore wind turbines. When it strategies the turbine, it goes complete throttle, to be able to 'stick' to the platform. Lastly, the personnel can cross securely. The Windcat Workboat is really a little bit of an all-rounder on this sector.
The jack-up platform is actually a relatively expensive development. As the name implies, it's a platform with a few or 4 legs that rises from the sea. In this way it truly is feasible to transfer personnel. This approach is quite inflexible and pricey, but provides a relative substantial diploma of safety, which can be one of many most important needs for clientele.
The very last strategy that I need to discuss may be the offshore accessibility technique (OAS). This can be a machine with hydraulic legs which might be capable to compensate wave motions. The program also contains a gangway that's used to attach to platforms. The personnel then walk through the gangway to the other facet. The technique is relatively new and for that reason not well-known but inside the industry.
The most cost effective approach of providing offshore access will probably be the helicopter, starting at a cost of 200,000 euro's. Nevertheless
Luc Robitaille Jersey
, it has to get mentioned that you will need to have a large fleet so that you can handle each of the orders inside the business, because the demand for offshore accessibility remedies is quickly soaring. The most pricey alternative is going to be an offshore access solution. These will expense you a single million euro's for substance expenses exclusively.
Moreover, you will want very expert personnel with specialised expertise. The best personnel are vital for 2 major reasons: For starters with out skilled personnel you cannot build an offshore access machine or other offshore transportation approaches. Secondly, personnel ought to support in offshore transfers. Offshore accidents can result in serious reputation hurt, so it really is genuinely crucial to help clients in their operations.
The offshore accessibility sector is a pricey enterprise to enter. However, if you are set up, large revenue might be reaped. The progress with the sector will remain for that coming a long time, considering that the desire for offshore access answers keeps quickly expanding, mostly because of to big oil discoveries in close proximity to the coast of Brazil along with the target of governments on offshore wind as sort of electricity era.

WASHINGTON – Freddie Mac reported a $1.2 billion second quarter profit this morning, meaning the housing giant will not require government bailout funds this quarter for the first time since its 2008 federal takeover.
The second quarter profit compares to a $3.8 billion loss for the same period last year and a $1.2 billion loss for the first quarter this year, necessitating an additional $19 million in government bailout funds. At the end of May, Freddie had received $72 billion in bailout funds since the 2008 takeover.
The second quarter profit came even after Freddie paid the government a $1.8 billion dividend on the preferred stock it owns in the company.
The Freddie Mac profit comes as good news for credit unions, which depend on Freddie and its sister mortgage agency Fannie Mae to buy an estimated half of all single family mortgage originated at credit unions.
Freddie said its credit-loss provisions for the latest period were $155 million, down from $2.5 billion a year earlier and $1.8 billion in the first quarter. Freddie's single-family delinquency rate was 3.45% compared with 3.5% both a year earlier and in the first quarter.
The company posted $882 million worth of derivatives losses for the quarter versus $3.81 billion a year ago. It also recorded a $1 million loss related to the extinguishment of debt, down from a $125 million loss last year.
Fannie Mae is expected to report ist second quarter earnings later this week.
The two companies have received almost $175 billion in bailout funds since the 2008 takeover by the federal government.

If you've ever struggled with how best to decorate a room, then you're likely not one to take the task lightly. We all have those bland walls in varying shades of white, but the ongoing trend is to change at least one in a room to be different - an accent wall. While there are many options for that accent, like adding chalkboard paint or even a metallic paint that causes an interesting rust pattern, it's likely you haven't seen a room done quite like this.
Germarie Bruwer with the Homeology blog decided she needed some real flair for her accent wall. She wanted something fun and vibrant, as the wall was in a children's playroom. Her weapon of choice? A syringe. You might have a few lying around your house, but chances are you've probably never thought of using them to add to your home decor.
Here are several tips, and the accompanying results:
If, like Germarie, you're looking for that eye-catching effect, you'll want to choose several bright colors. You could also use a more subdued palette if that better suits your purpose.
It would be a good idea to plan out your paint scheme and the order of colors on paper before committing it to your wall.
You'll need a 20 ml syringe for each color you choose. Many pharmacies will give you some, or they have them for sale. Of course, you could just ask around or, if necessary, look for them online.
You'll want to start by only drawing about 5 ml of paint into the syringe. Once you test how far this drips, you can adjust your amount for subsequent lines.
Make sure not to use too much, and also to properly cover your flooring and baseboards.
Finish one color at a time. Spread out the first several lines using the plan you made on paper as a guide.
Do not dilute the paint - use it just as it is from the can. This will help to ensure it doesn't run too quickly and go where it's not wanted.
Gradually bring the lines closer together by filling in the gaps with the other colors you picked out.
Word to the wise: each wall will be unique. You may see a mixing of colors or some unusual patterns emerging. Now that's an accent!
You can always coordinate other objects in the room with your new wall to add to the effect.
Now you've got an accent wall you can be sure is one-of-a-kind!
Happy decorating!
Be sure to SHARE this creative and colorful story with your friends.

Exceptional Dental Implants
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are often a better option for missing teeth than either bridges or dentures.
Because dental implants are patterned after the structure of your natural teeth, they provide a highly stable support system for the replacement teeth (crowns) or dentures. Other benefits include:
- Improved biting pressure so you can eat any foods you want. Healthy teeth are able to absorb over 500 pounds of biting pressure per square inch. If you've worn dentures for a long time, that pressure may be diminished significantly, to one-tenth of your natural teeth. Dental implants can often restore the amount of pressure that can be withstood to nearly the same level of healthy natural teeth.
- Tooth and bone loss prevention. Without an anchoring root, natural or placed in the jaw bone, the bone in the jaw deteriorates which can cause other teeth to loosen.
- Improved comfort and fit. Because your replacement teeth are anchored securely to the implants in your jawbone, they can't slip and slide like unsecured dentures can. When dentures aren't secure enough, they often cause sores in the mouth and make an annoying clicking sound. Dental implants eliminate these problems.
- Permanently fixed. Denture implants won't loosen or slip as dentures do.
- No nightly care and adhesives.
- Longevity and reliability. With proper oral hygiene and care, scientifically tested and approved dental implant systems have been shown to last as long as 20 years or more with few complications.
- No need to reshape adjacent teeth as in bridges.
- Increased self-confidence. Because dental implants function remarkably like natural teeth, most people who get them experience a renewed sense of self-confidence once they realize they can again chew, talk, laugh and smile with confidence.
Are you a candidate for Dental Implants?
If you face the loss of one or several teeth or if you're dissatisfied with dentures or other options available to you, you may find that dental implants are right for you.
Age is not typically a major factor: successful dental implants have been performed on young people as well as the elderly.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Bursich will help you decide. In general, we look for the following characteristics:
- general good health
- healthy gums
- sufficient underlying jawbone to support the implants
- a good attitude to ensure that you follow through with vital oral hygiene habits
People who are not good candidates for dental implants include:
- Young patients whose jawbones have not fully developed.
- Pregnant women.
- People with existing medical conditions. If you can have routine dental treatment, you can generally have an implant placed.
- Patients who take certain medications such as steroids or drugs that suppress the immune system.
Schedule a Consultation with The Dentist
For more information about implants, and to discuss which option is best for you, schedule a free consultation with Dr. Bursich.

DIY Glitter Ring
Hello! Just quickly popping in today to show you how I made a glittery ring inspired by tutorials from Alicia at Dismount Creative and Ali from With an I.E.
Materials: Coarse glitter, silver glitter glue, Mod Podge, and ring with empty setting (from Michaels).
I mixed up a batch of glitter glue-more glitter-Mod Podge, and filled the in ring setting with the mixture and let dry. Quite simple!

Great job...I love the end result. This has been on my list to do for a little while.ReplyDelete
Ohhhh, pretty!!!ReplyDelete
Another thing that might be cool is to use UV Resin on a glitter ring -- give it a nice domed effect. I've never used the stuff, but I hear it comes pre-mixed, so it's not as messy as regular resin.
So cute! Pinning this now!ReplyDelete
Very cute!! GLITTER rocks! :)ReplyDelete
Success!! Looks great, this project could be done in so many different ways, too. I'd love one with a burnished leather circle.ReplyDelete
So cute! Love this idea.ReplyDelete

A recently named investor in a Des Moines-based startup brings not only money to the venture, but star power, too.
Ashton Kutcher, one of the stars of Two and a Half Men, and one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, has announced he is investing money and using his influence to get Dwolla going. Kutcher, who is an Iowa native, said he hopes the online payment system will be an effective alternative to credit cards.
Dwolla allows users to transfer money and make payments using a mobile phone or through the Internet.
The entire financial system is broke, and it's proving that every day, Kutcher said in an interview with The Des Moines Register. Fixing that makes me passionate.
The company and Kutcher did not reveal terms of the investment. Earlier this year, Dwolla executives said they had raised $5 million from five investment firms.
Kutcher is making the investment through A-Grade Investments, the company he has used to invest in 40 other technology startups. Those included big names such as Foursquare and Skype.
Dwolla is run by people who are not in the banking or payment industries. That will help make major paradigm shifts in the industry, said a payments processing expert at US Dataworks.

camber is the measurement, in degrees, of how much the top of your tire is leaning in or out from vertical. Positive camber is when the tire leans away from the center of the car, and negative camber is when the tire leans in towards the center. Almost ALL cars are set up with a slight amount of camber in the front to aid in handling characteristics (about 1 to 3 degrees of negative camber), while most vehicles have zero degrees of camber in the rear. In volkswagen applications, where we have a trans axle, the suspension must create camber as it is lowered or raised (IRS has much less camber change due to the relatively parallel pivot points). Excessive camber can hinder performance greatly and diminish the life of your tires. BUT the biggest misconception, is that camber alone is what destroys tires so quickly on the rear of a lowered swing axle car..this is not the case. Too much negative camber only contributes to the premature wear slightly.
Toe-in and toe-out is the measurement (in degrees) of the difference between the leading edge and trailing edge of your tires. If the leading edge measurement is smaller than that of the trailing edge measurement, you have toe in, and vice versa for toe out. Again, almost ALL cars are set up with a minimal amount of toe-in in the front and little if no toe-in the rear. Correct toe alignment can improve handling and help the vehicle track straighter. Excessive toe in will obviously eat up tires very quickly and cause very erratic handling. As a general rule, i set up my vehicles with 1/8" to 3/16" of toe-in in the front and zero to 1/8" of toe in the rear.
caster is the measurement in degrees, of how far forward or back the axis your spindle rotates on, is from vertical. ALL cars, especially new cars and properly adjusted old cars, have a few degrees of positive caster (when the axis is leaning back). Caster is a very important part of suspension design and tuning. Caster is what makes the steering wheel return to center as you exit a turn, and it is also what make your vehicle track straight at high speed. Extreme caster has its advantages, but also great disadvantages. A good example is top fuel dragsters, they have a LARGE amount of positive caster (as seen when the wheels lean severely when turned side to side) to keep them going in a straight line at 300 mph+ speeds, BUT this cause very poor slow speed handling. For a daily driver (non high performance race car) there is a fine balance. Most cars should have 2-4 degrees of caster. I chose to setup my bus with about 7 degrees as i like my cars to track straight as an arrow at high speed and return to straight as I exit a turn. Also i plan to roll with a little bit of nose down rake from time to time, and this essentially reduces the amount of positive caster. THIS is one of the big contributing factors to buses not handling very well when lowered. Most people roll with a little bit of rake and a STOCK bus only has MAYBE one degree of caster. Negative caster is the biggest cause for wandering and flitty handling.
Ackerman angle is a VERY important and often overlooked part of suspension design and turning. Ackerman angle is what causes the inside wheel to turn sharper than that of the outside wheel during a turn. Go turn the wheel to either side then look at the wheels and you SHOULD see that the inside wheel (in the direction the vehicle would be traveling) should be turned sharper than the outside. This is required because as a vehicle turns, the inside wheel is circling in a tighter arc than the outside. IF your ackerman angle is wrong, and both wheels are parallel during a turn, it will cause excessive wear and a "push" feeling wheel the vehicle resists the turn.) The correct ackerman is set when you can draw an imaginary line from the center of the king pin (or axis of spindle rotation) through the tie rod end, into the very center of the rear axle (for volkswagens this would be the center of the transaxle) Here is a good diagram. Unfortunately as we modify our suspensions, the ackerman angle is changed, resulting in premature parts wear and ill handling (although generally very sligh problems)
ALL!!! narrowed beams cause incorrect ackerman, as well as lowering (causing the spindle and center of wheel to move forward) The ONLY way to fix this problem is to modify the spindle arm to bring it back in to alignment.
Trail is an aspect of car suspension that is very important, but most vehicles have VERY little if any trail. Trail is when the rolling center of the wheel is BEHIND the axis of spindle rotation. What trail does, along with positive caster, is cause the wheels to naturally try to track in a straight line. The best example of trail is a grocery store shopping cart...if you were to deliberately spin the wheels so that the rotating axis was in FRONT of the turning axis, and then pushed the cart, the wheel would immediately try and swivel to follow. Excessive trail is a VERY bad thing as it makes steering very difficult. Trail is something that is not adjustable in about 95% of suspensions, it is set from the factory design.
bump steer is not a part of the design geometry of suspension, but it is the direct effect of having your tie rod outer ends being much higher or lower than that of the inner ends, As well as having the tie rods be longer or shorter than the suspensions arms (in the case of buses, this is irrelevant as they do not have A arm suspension). As the suspension compresses and extends, the outer ends of the tie rods travel in a large arc. The greater the angle of the tie rod, the greater its horizontal length changes as the tie rod end travels its arc. SO the more angle you have in your tie rods, the more bumpsteer you can expect to have, this is the reason for flipping the tie rod ends to enter from the bottom of your spindle arms.
As far as how all of this pertains to lowered buses (in most of our cases) it is important to consider these things when deciding to make suspension alterations. Some things you can get by with having incorrect, while others have a greatly adverse affect when they are wrong. The more you lower a swing axle suspension, the more camber, toe in, and lateral wheel movement at an exponential rate. Even with correctly extended spring plates, you will still encounter radical toe change due to the spring plates being at a more severe angle. In the front, the further the torsion arms are from horizontal, or angled down, the worse the ride quality will be. Greatly lowered buses ride poorly for this reason. As the torsion arms begin to approach 45 degrees (sometimes an even greater angle) the less the suspenion compresses when you hit a bump, and the slower it can react on up travel.
These are the biggest aspect of suspension geometry. Obviously it can be far more complicated and there are far more things to consider when building a race car, but we are not

Multiple outlets are reporting that Saginaw native Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors have broken off contract talks, for now. The former MSU star is a restricted free agent who is seeking a new contract. He is now free to negotiate with other teams. The Pistons are among a handful of teams rumored to be interested in signing Green. If Green signs an offer sheet, the Warriors will have the opportunity to match that deal and keep Green.
The 25-year old is coming off his best season in the NBA, with career highs in points, rebounds, assists, and minutes played. Green put up a triple-double in the Warriors Game 6 NBA championship-clinching win in Cleveland last month.

Kanye West & Rihanna Release Sexy New Song 'Four Five Seconds' – Listen
Your favorite new song of 2015 has arrived! Kanye West and Rihanna have dropped their new beat, 'Four Five Seconds', and it features none other than Paul McCartney! Click to LISTEN!
Kanye West, 37, and Rihanna, 26, are the best. The duo teamed back up for an amazing collaboration on the song "Four Five Seconds." The catchy new song serenades us, especially with acoustics by the legendary Paul McCartney, 72. We can't stop listening to this song!
Rihanna & Kanye West's Song — Release 'Four Five Seconds'
This is unlike anything we've ever seen from Rihanna and Kanye.
Rihanna and Kanye slowed things down for the guitar track and let their voices do the work. Their voices mixed together is all sorts of wonderful. Paul takes the song to the next level with his amazing guitar work. This isn't your typical club hit, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
The singer released the surprise news on Jan. 24. She tweeted, "FIRST GLIMPSE AT MY NEW MUSIC!!!"
She also posted a clip on Instagram:
Kanye had teased the song with Rihanna on Jan. 21 at the iHeartMedia Music Summit, according to Billboard. After the preview, Kanye was welcomed with a round of applause.
We can see why. This song is one of our new favorites!
'Four Five Seconds' Lyrics:
I think I've had enough, I might get a little drunk
I say what's on my mind, I might do a little time
Cause all of my kindness, is taken for weakness
Now I'm FourFiveSeconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday, mornin'
I swear I wish somebody would tell me
Oh thats all I want
Woke up an optimist, sun was shining I'm positive
Then I heard you was talkin' trash
Hold me back I'm bout' to spaz
And I know that you're up tonight
Thinkin' how could I be so selfish
But you called bout a thousand times wondering where I been
Now I know that your up tonight
Thinkin' how could I be so reckless
But I just can't apologize, I hope you can understand
If I go to jail tonight, promise you'll pay my bail
See they want to buy my pride, but that just ain't up for sale
See all of my kindness, is taken for weakness
HollywooodLifers, what did you think of "Four Five Seconds?" Let us know!
— Avery Thompson

|The children were listening attentively to the story "The Gruffalo".
|Yes! Even my hyperactive Kyle was listening attentively, to which i was amazed!
We are not obliged to blog, but I would like to jot down what I have learnt, as well as sharing is loving. :) Hopefully you can gain something from this too.
The Positive Discipline Workshop aims to help a parent to:
- Discover parenting style that empowers, encourages and lays foundation for learning
- Explore authoritarian vs permissive parenting
- Establish guidelines, boundaries and encouraging practices at home
- Tips on getting the whole family on board in a culture of positive discipline
What is Positive Discipline?
The word "discipline" refers to training that is expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior, especially training that produces moral or mental improvement. Positive Discipline is a framework that empowers a child, promote his cooperation & understanding of good behavior, and direct them towards self-discipline.
Julia shared with us the 5 steps towards establishing positive discipline as a culture for learning at home:
Step 1: Understand my child
Understand my own child allows me to know what to expect of him in different situations and how to support his learning needs.
Mood - is my child a generally positive person or he often express a negative outlook? does he shift frequently or is he even tempered?
Persistence & Attention Span - does my child gives up as soon as faced with a problem or does he keeps trying? Can he stick with an activity for long?
Distractibility - is my child easily distracted?
Sensory Threshold - is he bothered by external stimuli such as loud noises, lights, food textures etc?
Step 2: Recognise difference between Discipline & Punishment
We have to know that the effects of punishment are long-lasting and far-reaching. We should not inflict corporal punishment on the child - be it beat, hit, spank or etc.
· Over controlling & harsh
· Kind, yet firm
· Focus on Suffering – "The more you suffer, the more you learn"
· Focus on Learning – "The more you learn, the less you suffer"
· Misbehavior is a crime and children are bad
· Misbehavior is a poor choice; which even good children make
· Parents are responsible for controlling children
· Parents are responsible for teaching children self-control & holding themselves accountable for their own actions
· Is condescending and blaming
· Is respectful and focuses on solutions
· Reminds child of past mistakes – "I told you so!"
· Allows quick return to normal routine
· Decreases self esteem
· Maintains self esteem
· Children become immune and develop "I don't care" attitude
· Children care about behaving well & correcting own mistakes, need for discipline decreases over time
· Builds resentment and increases rebellion
· Grows respect & responsibility, increases self-control & self-discipline
Step 3: Aim for cooperation rather than obedience
To enable my child to cooperate and make his own decisions, we can offer them choices within reasonable limits. Children raised with rigid limits with few or practically no choices are unable to think for themselves. If the child obey out of fear, it may work short term while building resentment & rebellion over time. Positive cooperation almost works all the time and promote teamwork, self responsibility and mutual respect!
For example, rather than ordering my child to go to bed, I can offer "Would you like to hear one more story or play with your toy cars before bedtime?"
Step 4: Develop a toolbox for Positive Discipline
To establish ground rules for children to follow, we need tools of prevention for use before incidents of misbehavior:
- Be a role model by practicing what I preached
- Appreciate my own child's temperament
- Encourage the behavior i want to see by catching my child when he's being good, pointing out how well he's doing
- Be interested in my child's activities and enjoy his company
- Always look out for underlying needs & feelings
- Give him clear and specific instructions
- Establish routines
- Preempt transitions
- Acknowledge & encourage rather than praise
- Love unconditionally and never threaten abandonment
During inappropriate or anti social behaviour, we needs tools of guidance:
- Offer choices within limits of acceptable alternatives like " Would you like to change into your PJs or brush your teeth first?"
- Communicate my own feelings "I am so annoyed & frustrated right now!"
- Validate my child's feelings too "I can see that you are really angry too!"
- Demonstrate appropriate behavior yourself so that young children can learn what to do
- Use positive language "Yes, you can go out to play, after you have put the toys away" "Making your bed would be very helpful!"
- Give information "Littering means that someone else have to pick it up for you!"
- Do difficult tasks together "I think we should say sorry to Gallen together"
- Physically remove or restrain your child if necessary
And we need to have tools of consequence to help child learn what to do after things go wrong:
- Show my child how to make amends
- Expect restitution if rules have been broken
- Take action myself, example say sorry if I have broken a rule or hurt someone's feelings
- Allow natural consequences, example, if my child has forgotten to bring his lunch box to school, he has to go hungry
- Set & apply reasonable restrictions or removal of privileges
- Use self control time out - "You can join in as soon as you are ready to play without snatching"
Step 5: Take Action
Start the discipline with myself and work with the school to establish a culture of positive discipline. I can encourage my child's efforts instead of praising their achievements or criticizing their mistakes:
- "I really appreciate that you..."
- "You worked really hard to..."
- "You have really come a long way!"
- "I can see that you..."
- "Thanks! That helped a lot!"
- "I noticed the way you..."
- "How do you feel about what you did?"
- "What do you think you want to do about it?"

In 1814 the War of 1812 was entering into its second full year. During the previous year the Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware Valley region experienced active naval campaigning and a seaborne blockade. On Saturday, January 3, at 10:30 a.m. historian Charles (Chuck) Fithian will visit the Delaware Public Archives to present a program on this little known period of Delaware history. Delawareans were active participants in these events and directly experienced the effects of naval irregular warfare. In 1814, they would continue to aid in the national defense, and would respond to new threats brought about by this destructive war.
Mr. Fithian, a resident of Dover, is an historical archaeologist who has directed the research and conservation of the DeBraak and its large associated collection. With a concentration in colonial, military and naval history, Fithian is a graduate of Wesley College and Salisbury University, and has recently retired from the State of Delaware after more than 27 years of service. He has also conducted extensive research on 17th century Delaware, the Delaware Regiment during the American Revolution, and the War of 1812.
The program is free to the public and will last approximately one hour. No reservations are required. For more information, contact Katelyn Fair (302) 744-5016 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

One of the joys of working at the Delaware Public Archives is discovering interesting documents that have not been processed until now and has not been seen for hundreds of years. Recently, I blogged about a Kent County Orphans Court plot that was more than 25 feet long which was found by archivist Margaret Dunham. Now working in Sussex County Orphans Court records, Margaret called me again when she found the document seen in the picture below. The image shows the 1807 plot of Jacob Burton from Dagsboro Hundred. Unlike most similar documents in the Archives' collections, this plot features color and actually shows a portion of the plot that resembles the shape of the State of Delaware. The Delaware shaped portion is referred to in the document as "Hog Range." Take a look and decide for yourself! Within this record (dated 1807 – 1822), Mr. Burton is leaving his divided estate to his wife Sophia and thirteen children and grandchildren.

Americans have celebrated Thanksgiving in some form since 1789. President Abraham Lincoln signed a proclamation in 1863 that Thanksgiving should fall on the last Thursday of November and for the most part, states celebrated the holiday at the end of the month. However, it wasn't until President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed a Joint Resolution of Congress in 1941 that we began celebrating the holiday on the Fourth Thursday of November. The National Archives has that proclamation available online for all to see.
Between 1863 and 1941, before the day became a national holiday, presidents and state governors made annual Thanksgiving proclamations setting aside the day as one of thanksgiving and reflection. The Governors Papers Collection at the Delaware Public Archives has a nice selection of Thanksgiving proclamations from former Delaware governors'. Some invoke the "early settlers upon our shores, beset by hardships and perils," like Governor Buck did in 1935:
In 1893, Governor Reynolds saw that Delawareans had been regarding Thanksgiving as "a day for indulgence in riotous living and worldly sports, contrary to the spirit in which the custom originated" and encouraged "the people of this State [to] lay aside all secular occupations" on that day:
In a similar vein, in 1901, Governor John Hunn recommended "that on that day all business of whatever character be suspended, and that the people assemble in their accustomed places of public worship, and there render thanks for those inestimable benefits which have been accorded them."
Which proclamation is your favorite?

Tomorrow Delawareans up and down the state will head to polling places to cast their vote in the midterm election. Not sure who to vote for? For hundreds of years political parties and special-interest groups have issued flyers endorsing candidates. Check out these tickets from the 1800s. They won't help you make a decision tomorrow, but they might inspire you to follow in the footsteps of generations of Delawareans to get out and vote.

Kate Fair, markers coordinator
Delaware has over 570 historical markers located throughout the state. Historical markers are first proposed by members of the public, vetted for historical significance by the Delaware Public Archives, and financially sponsored by state senators and representatives. The Delaware Historical Marker program was established in 1931 by an Act of the Delaware State Legislature to "determine and select such points of historic interest throughout the State … and erect monuments … to be appropriate at such points."
Delaware historical markers are plaques and signs placed throughout the state to commemorate and visually educate the public about the people, places, and events that are significant to Delaware's state, local, and national history. Since the program's inception, Delaware historical markers have undergone a variety of stylistic changes. To view these changes and learn more about historical markers, log on to www.archives.delaware.gov/markers/index.shtml and follow us on Instagram @dpamarkers. Be sure to share your Delaware historical marker photos with us!

Connor Graham, processing archivist
The Processing Room is where we clean and organize documents so they can be properly preserved. Removing staples and paperclips, photocopying acidic documents, unfolding papers, and placing records in acid-free folders and boxes are among the basic preservation techniques that we use on a daily basis at the Delaware Public Archives.
When a document comes to the Archives, it is not always in pristine condition. Sometimes it comes rolled up or folded accordion style. In order to flatten out the documents we use the process of humidification.
This is what we at the Delaware Public Archives call a humidification chamber, but most will recognize it as a basic trash can.
The next step is to take 4-5 sponges, wet them, ring them out to make sure they are not dripping wet, and then place them at the bottom of the trash can. You then place a milk crate over top of the sponges and basically cage them in.
Next step is to lay the document over top of the milk crate and place the lid on the trash can. We usually let the document sit for 1-2 days depending on the condition.
When the humidification process is over, we pull the document out of the chamber. At this point the document is slightly damp and wrinkles have been loosened up. To ensure that the document will stay flat we lay it between two sheets of acid-free blotter paper and place weights on top of it. After a couple days, the document is ready to be organized, foldered, and put away in our vaults.

Recently, processing and reference archivist Margaret Dunham uncovered a document in the Kent County Orphans Court Case Files Collection that measured almost 26 feet in length. The file, from the year 1822, focues on a section of property in Murderkill Hundred (located south of Dover) owned by Ezekial Hunn.
According to Ms. Dunham, "these Orphans Court materials are a great resource for historians and genealogists alike. Many times these files, including this one, contain maps with houses and other landmarks that can provide clues and details to what was located on the property. This document is actually a series of documents held together with wax seals. In order to effectively preserve these extremely long files, we have to cut the documents to make them fit into the storage boxes that we have."
When possible, we try to use humidification techniques to make the adhesive and wax more pliable. This allows us to pull the documents apart where they are affixed and helps us safely remove the wax or adhesive, preventing further damage. It's not always possible to do this, so we have to cut some documents to facilitate proper storage in our vaults. Come by the Delaware Public Archives to see this document (and many more like it!) for yourself.

Kit Carson, Government Services Manager
If you've ever been to the research room, you're probably familiar with members of our public services and record services staff. These are the people that prepare and service the records from our holdings for the public to use. Perhaps you've wondered how we get these records in the first place. They don't just appear – our Government Services staff works with agencies daily to make sure that records are kept for the correct amount of time and then are either transferred to DPA for permanent storage or are safely destroyed.
Government Services staff carefully trains agency record officers to properly handle their agency's records through a series of three courses. These courses are a great way to train new employees who handle records or to refresh seasoned record managers who might need a refresher on best practices. Courses are scheduled regularly throughout the year through the Office of Management and Budget's State Training and Development Office. These courses include:
Files Management: Provides basic instruction on creating and maintaining an effective filing system, the types and uses of filing systems, standard filing procedures and introduces the DPA Retention Schedule and explains how it is used.
Preparation of Records to Transfer to DPA: Provides step-by-step instruction of the process of preparing transfer documents and boxing records for transfer to the DPA for temporary storage, permanent preservation, or destruction.
Records and Information Management: Explains the benefits of proper records management, the use of retention schedules, the process of making changes to a records series, managing electronic records, technological maintenance requirements, their life cycles, and retention periods.
Record keeping can be made more effective and less costly through the use of efficient techniques. The information provided in the courses assist agencies in creating a foundation upon which their records system should be built. These courses are not intended to present a universal formula or the ultimate system. Rather, they are provided so that agencies can identify their needs, assess available resources and then develop a plan that is tailored to their operations.
