In as populous a society as the United States, many people of diverse backgrounds, knowledge, experience and priorities are obliged to live together. However, with a country of such a large size, people are able to choose to live in many locations. At times, it appears that they have not made very wise decisions, yet all are required to support them.

SAN JOSE – Some recent trends have emerged in games between the Sharks and Ducks, and they were again on display on Saturday night at SAP Center.
They're close, and they're low scoring, to be specific.
Anaheim's 2-1 triumph was the eighth straight head-to-head matchup that has been decided by just one goal. Furthermore, the teams have combined for just 28 total goals in those eight meetings, or 3.5 per game.
Of course, in those types of games, one mistake can be deadly. In this case, it came when Paul Martin's attempted pass to Joe Pavelski was blocked by Jakob Silfverberg, who raced in on a breakaway to beat Martin Jones at 13:29 of the second period. It was the final goal of the game.
Martin described the play.
"[The puck] kind of rolled on me or jammed me a little bit. I was going to shoot, and then I saw Pavs kind of slide up in the slot and I just tried to slide it to him. Hit a shin pad, or hit something, so…yeah," Martin said.
Logan Couture said: "Obviously it's a tough break to give up that one, to that guy, with that shot. He picks his corners pretty good. We rebounded and had a good third period."
Couture is correct in that the Sharks did press Anaheim in the final frame, outshooting the Ducks 14-4 but failing to get the equalizer. The Sharks had a 34-27 advantage in shots in the game, and a 76-53 advantage in shot attempts.
His line with Patrick Marleau and Joel Ward was the Sharks' most effective of the evening, and all of them had chances. Ward was stopped in front of the net about four minutes into the third period, though, and Marleau was denied on a breakaway with nine minutes left. Couture finished with a game-high six shots, including a first period power play goal on a two-man advantage.
In one sequence in the second period, Couture's wraparound try ended up on Ward's tape on the other side of the net, and with goalie Jonathan Bernier sprawled out in the crease, Ward tried getting it over the goaltender to Marleau in front of an empty net. He didn't get it high enough, though, and Bernier froze it.
The Sharks were much more pleased with their effort on Saturday than in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Blues in which they were thoroughly outplayed.
"I didn't like our first 10 minutes, but after that I thought we played a real good game," Pete DeBoer said. "It was a playoff-type atmosphere. We had enough opportunities to get three or four tonight. We didn't. That's a credit to their goalie. But, we did a lot of good things."
Joe Pavelski said: "They had their chances, we had ours. It was a game, it was physical, it was a fun one. Crowd was into it right from the start, and guys showed up to play."
There are no points for effort, though, so the Sharks still have some work to do if they want to close out the Pacific Division. They were well aware that they had a chance to essentially bury the Ducks by potentially opening their lead up to seven points with a game in hand.
Instead, they're now just four points ahead with a pair of back-to-backs on the road on the immediate horizon. The Sharks visit Dallas on Monday and Minnesota on Tuesday, and will have to keep an eye in the rear view mirror on surging Anaheim, which has won five of its last seven (5-1-1).
"I think as the games get closer to the end, you kind of know who's up and down," Ward said of the contracting standings.
The primary takeaway from Saturday's game, though, was that if the Sharks put forth the same kind of effort and performance over their final 11, they'll be fine.
Martin said: "As long as we're playing the way that we want to play, I think it will take care of itself."
"If we play like we did tonight, most nights we're going to win," DeBoer said.
* * *
DeBoer didn't offer any sort of update on Jannik Hansen, who left the game in the third period after taking a stick up high from defenseman Brandon Montour as the two came together in the corner. "I don't have anything for you on that yet," DeBoer said.
Pavelski talked to his linemate after the game.
"I think [Hansen] said he got a stick in the head, or something like that. I don't really know for sure," Pavelski said.

WHEN the Germany-based group Germans for Scottish Independence set the date for their independence march in Berlin last weekend, they seemed to have overlooked that the German elections were only three weeks away.
In fact, they chose the day before a key debate between Angela Merkel and her challenger, the former EU parliament president Martin Schulz, which was broadcast nationwide by the four biggest TV channels.
Not ideal for raising awareness of a cause which the German public might find a bit distant in the circumstances.
Since I am in Germany at the moment, I checked the main news media as well as the local Berlin headlines for any coverage of the Yes march but found nothing.
Maybe Germans for Scottish Independence need to try harder next time to live up to the reputation so often associated with the German national character: being organised.

THE Tories intend to use the Statute of Proclamations to enable them to by-pass Parliament and bulldoze through measures relating to Brexit.
I would be grateful if anyone can explain to me how this can be imposed on Scotland since Henry VIII was never King of Scots. How can legislation which pre-dates both the Union of the Crowns in 1603 and the Union of the Parliaments in 1707 be used to impose laws on Scotland?
Sandra Durning
REGARDING the plan for a tennis and golf centre at Park of Keir, near Dunblane, Judy Murray is keen that her sons have a lasting legacy.
I think the greatest legacy the family could leave would be to fund the reopening of hundreds of public tennis courts which local councils cannot afford to maintain or to staff. Only by doing this will tennis begin to be available to ordinary young people, with a spin-off of reducing boredom and the associated poor behaviour which young people can involve themselves in.
For our Scottish Government to support this planning application does to address inequality in Scotland. This vanity project is a poor idea and in the wrong location.

ROY Pedersen wrote an excellent letter about marine renewables (The National, September 4). We really do have the opportunity for an industrial, economic, social and environmental renaissance in Scotland. All we need is the will and vision to make it happen.
Jon Southerington
Deerness, Orkney
I SHARE your correspondent Roy Pedersen's enthusiasm for tidal stream generation as its predictability makes it stand out from other forms of renewable generation. I would, however, like to make two points.
Firstly, generated power varies as the cube of the stream velocity. While Mr Pedersen is correct that deploying turbines in different locations will give a degree of smoothing of total power output on any one day, a significant omission is consideration of the roughly 14-day tidal cycle between springs and neaps which affects all locations.
The spring velocity is typically twice the neap velocity, so, while predictable, tidal cannot be described as a constant power source.
Secondly, even if electrolysis is 100 per cent efficient (it isn't), burning the resulting hydrogen in a spark ignition internal combustion engine would deliver about 25 per cent efficiency.
Using generated electricity to instead charge battery-powered vehicles would give a cycle efficiency of 80 per cent or better.
David Simpson

THANK you for publishing my letter in yesterday's National. Just one small, but important, point – it is "tidal stream" not "wave" power that could be the key to making the case for indy.
Tidal stream power, if drawn from multiple locations, is constant and predictable; wave power, like wind is intermittent and unpredictable. I hope you don't mind me drawing this to your attention.
Roy Pedersen

In addition to the JACOB (Java COM) API, easyPDF Printer SDK is also available as a native Java API. The API layer is written in 100% Java code. It does not rely on any COM objects or Java-Native Interface (JNI).
The native Java API works by launching an external worker process (also known as a sandbox), which is not a Java application, but rather native x86 machine code. However, this external process is completely isolated. Named pipes are used for communication in between the 100% Java world and the x86 sandbox.
There are numerous advantages to using this new native Java API, instead of the older JACOB version:
object launches its own independent worker process.
no longer returns a COM SafeArray, but a
Exceptions thrown are native Java as well.
There are no known disadvantages to using the native Java API versus the JACOB API.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I trust you?
Luxury watches aren't cheap. And we know that it's hard to trust a faceless internet business. If you have questions or concerns, our team is available via chat, email, or phone.
How do I know the watch I buy from your site is real? Are your items authentic?
Crown & Caliber certifies that every piece we sell is 100% real and authentic. We don't accept any items that are knock-offs or that contain parts unacceptable to Swiss standards. We have full-time watchmakers on staff with more than 20 years of experience in authenticating and servicing luxury watches. Crown & Caliber verifies the authenticity of each and every item through a multi-point process, and if any items do not fit our rigorous quality standards, we don't accept them. If, for whatever reason, you find your watch is not authentic, we offer a money-back guarantee and will refund 100% of the purchase price.
Where do your watches come from?
Most of our watches are bought or consigned from individuals, but we also work with several {retail partners} who round out our inventory selection.
How much is my watch worth?
That's an impossible question for us to answer without more information. If you'd like to get an accurate value for your watch, please fill out our quote form here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. We don't like to provide ballpark ranges off-the-cuff.
Do you sell extra bracelet links or other watch parts?
While we do sell several watch accessories, we don't carry watch parts or extra links as part of our selling inventory. However, we are happy to give you resources to find them elsewhere.
What shipping providers do you use?
We use UPS.
Do you deliver to Post Office boxes?
We cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, or to APO/FPO addresses.
How do I track my order?
We'll send you tracking details and order confirmation via email.
Why do I have to sign for my package?
Having you sign for your package is required by our third-party fraud checking service in order to prevent your watch from ending up with someone else.
How do you determine your prices/valuations?
We do our research. We've spent the last 5 years gathering data from Ebay, auction results, forum sales, and our own transactions to get a real-time pulse on the secondhand watch market. We do this in order to determine the fairest price for any given watch, in real-time.
What is the strike-through price on your watches?
Sometimes, a watch will have a strike-through price next to our selling price. This is the comparison price to MSRP, or the price you'll find if you're shopping at a retailer or authorized dealer.
The comparative "retail price" on our site reflects the price reported by the manufacturer. Alternatively, we might create an estimate based on historical data and our own research. As listed prices can fluctuate, our strike-through price may not always represent the actual price listed by authorized dealers at that exact moment. For international clients, our strike-through price is based on what a new watch would be sold for in the US, plus taxes, shipping, and additional international surcharges if applicable.
However, nothing can replace your own comparison shopping. If this is an important factor for you in your purchasing decision, then we recommend you conduct your own individual search as well.
How can I contact you?
We are available by email (email@example.com) and by phone [(888) 249-4421]. Our office hours are from 9:00am-5:00pm ET, and we try to return after-hours and weekend messages as soon as possible the next business day.
Do you sell any of my personal information?
Absolutely not. Our clients are extremely important to us, and we are committed protecting your privacy. If you still have concerns, please review our Privacy Policy to see more details.
Can I change the delivery address?
Yes. We can change your delivery address before your watch ships, but we'll need to get the new address approved by our third-party fraud checking service. It typically takes about one full business day to get a new address approved, which may delay your shipment.
Why can't you hold my watch for pick-up at a UPS facility?
For security purposes, we can't have UPS hold your package for pick up. Your watch must be delivered to you at the address that was approved by our third-party fraud checking service.
How does shipping work?
For domestic customers, we offer free, insured shipping through UPS. Watches generally ship within 5 to 7 business days after your order is processed. We can ship your watch to whatever address you designate, but you must be able to sign for the package.
For international customers, we use UPS Worldwide Express. Shipping is free, but you will have to pay customs charges, as well as any associated import tax, VAT, or duties. In order to maintain our strict business code, we cannot label an item as a gift or declare a lesser value than the purchase price paid.
How quickly do you ship once I purchase online?
Once we capture payment, a watch generally ships to you within 5 to 7 business days. This gives us time to run the watch through our quality control process. If you need it sooner than that, let us know and we can work with you.
Do you offer free shipping?
We do! Crown & Caliber covers shipping on watches coming to or going from our facilities (including returns and exchanges).
What shipping providers do you use?
We use UPS.
Do you deliver to Post Office boxes?
We cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, or to APO/FPO addresses.
How do I track my order?
We'll send you tracking details and order confirmation via email.
Why do I have to sign for my package?
Having you sign for your package is required by our third-party fraud checking service in order to prevent your watch from ending up with someone else.
Can I change the delivery address?
Yes. We can change your delivery address before your watch ships, but we'll need to get the new address approved by our third-party fraud checking service. It typically takes about one full business day to get a new address approved, which may delay your shipment.
Why can't you hold my watch for pick-up at a UPS facility?
For security purposes, we can't have UPS hold your package for pick up. Your watch must be delivered to you at the address that was approved by our third-party fraud checking service.
If you know you can't be home to sign for your package, please contact us ASAP. We'll work with our fraud checking service to get an alternate address approved to reroute your package.
How do I ship my watch to you?
We have a handy video that walks you through packing and shipping a watch to Crown & Caliber right this way.
Where are the UPS labels for me to send in my watch?
When you accept our offer, we'll email you a UPS shipping label with instructions on how to pack your watch to send to us. UPS labels are emailed to you within 1 business day after you accept our offer for your watch.
What happens if my watch is lost or damaged in the mail?
We hope this never happens, but if it does, your watch is fully insured by us while it's in transit (as long as you follow our shipping instructions). And, we'll work with you during the claims process to make sure you are fully compensated for the material loss.
My watch is worth more than 5,000USD. How come my shipping label only says 5,000 USD?
If Crown & Caliber is purchasing your timepiece for over 5,000 USD we may include a UPS Shipment Receipt. We insure our packages through a third party shipping provider named Parcel Pro, and they are responsible for the insured value of a watch during transit. The amount indicated on the form that comes with a shipping label is 5,000.00 USD because that is the maximum amount that UPS will insure a package. Parcel Pro has insured all watches for the purchase price.
How do I get my watch to UPS?
When you are ready to ship your package, either schedule a pick up or take the package to an authorized UPS shipping facility. You may schedule a pick up by calling 1-800-742-5877; notify the UPS representative that you have a pre-paid UPS package with a pre-paid and pre-attached shipping label. Do not drop your package off at a drop box as insurance does not cover unmanned drop-off facilities. For security purposes, do not disclose the contents or value of this shipment when tendering your package to a UPS Store location.
Do you have a refund or return policy?
We do! For more specific information, please see our return policy return policy.

Do you have a refund or return policy?
Of course. For more information on our policies, please see our return policy.
Do you sell watches with a manufacturer's warranty?
Honestly, it depends. While a pre-owned watch that still has a manufacturer's warranty on it is a great find, we're very confident in our Crown & Caliber 1-year warranty. We offer it on every watch we sell, and anything beyond that is a great bonus.
I'm not in the United States. Can I still buy a watch from you?
Before you place your order, please contact us directly to confirm we can ship to your country.

In order to maintain our strict business code, we cannot label an item as a gift or declare a lesser value than the purchase price paid.
Do all watches come with original packaging and paperwork?
Our watches are pre-owned, which means that not all sellers are able to provide the original box or papers. If they are available, the original packaging and paperwork will be mentioned in the item description and shipped with your order.
Will I have to pay sales tax?
We're currently obligated to collect sales tax on orders shipped to addresses in Georgia. Each state has individual tax laws that specify what purchases are subject to sales tax, and people who live in a state without sales tax won't be charged on goods they have shipped.
How do I sell my watch to you?
We make the process as easy as possible for our sellers. But first thing you'll need to do is fill out our quote form to get the ball rolling.
What kinds of watches do you accept?
We work with a wide variety of high end luxury watches from our customers. For a full list, see our Accepted Brands here.
How long does it take to get a quote on my watch?
It generally takes us about 3 business days to do all the research on your specific watch model and get back to you with a quote. In order to be as accurate as possible the first time around, we can't do ballparks and we can't turn quotes around immediately.
Is there a limit on the number of watches I can sell with Crown & Caliber?
No, there is no limit. Our quote form allows you to enter up to five watches at a time. We do request that if you have a large number of watches you'd like to sell at one time, you contact us directly so we can make arrangements with you.
I can't find my watch brand on your site.
If you can't find your watch brand on our Accepted Brands list, then most likely it is not a brand we work with. Because of the nature of the secondhand market, we do not accept any watches valued at less than $2,000.
Does Crown & Caliber accept watches from outside of the United States?
Currently, we do not work outside of the United States, and won't be the best resource for international sellers.
When does my offer expire?
When we deliver our offer via phone or email, we generally allow you around 48 hours to decide whether to reject or accept it. If we don't hear back from you, we'll consider the offer rejected and close your case. Keep in mind, if you choose to sell your watch with us in the future, you may have to go through the quote process again, due to changes in the market over time.
What happens if I don't like your offer?
If you don't like the offer we made you, simply notify our Client Services team. We'll close your case, with no further requirements from you.
How do I send my watch to you once I accept your offer?
When you accept our offer, we'll email you pre-paid UPS shipping labels, along with instructions on how to pack your watch to send to us.
What happens once I have sent in my watch?
Once you ship your watch, it will come to our facilities for review. A Client Services associate will be in constant contact with you during the inspection and authentication process, just to keep you in the loop.
Please note that if your watch is vintage and needs an abundant amount of parts, we may return your timepiece to you. Also note that if we determine that your watch is a replica, we'll inform you of the cost to return it back to you and you will be expected to pay for the shipping.
Why do I need to add my driver's license information to the customer agreement?
We are required by Georgia state law to collect this information in order to maintain our precious metals license. This information is used to check against stolen property. Once we receive your watch, we must have this information in order to proceed with purchasing or consigning your watch.
How do I get paid?
We process all payments by check and send them out every Friday through USPS regular mail. Want to expedite your payment? Give us a call and we can work with you.
How long does it take for me to get paid?
The amount of time it takes for you to receive your payment depends on whether you chose a cash, trade-in, or consignment offer:
Cash Offer: Once you accept our final offer, we will send the check on the first Friday following your acceptance.
Trade-In: If the final price of your purchase is less than your trade offer, we'll send you a check for the difference the first Friday after your purchase is finalized.

Father Time
You are a worthy adversary; for you weaken even the strongest of men and crumble the tallest mountains. You carve rivers and canyons and give wisdom to the unwise.
How many sunsets have you stolen from me?
You are why the mighty oak has not fallen and the bird gives thanks. You have seen cities rise and fall and mountains crumble under your might. Your face is like granite unchanging with each passing day.
You are our father; Father time.

Barber Black Sheep
I've been getting a couple of 'you're lost's lately. Some were borne out of sincere concern from people I have been intentionally avoiding and as such who have every right to point out that I have not been 'common in their faces'. With them saying shit like that, i don't think I need to get into why I avoid them.
The other lot of people have actually seen me, but didn't recognise me. You see, folks, I have an embarassing confession to make. I have been harbouring an afro.
Don't be so quick to judge me, REV had hair too! The only difference is that he wore his proud like something was trying eating him up from the head and working it's way down (thank you Baz).
So why would I have this atrocity? Why would I keep mounds of hair on my head that I did not have any intention of clumping together in a dreadful formation (dreadlocks, try to keep up).simple, I am scared of barbers, and with good reason too. Allow me to introduce you to some I have met.
Nine-Lives Mark
Mark is a decent enough barber. I use his services from time to time not just because he is cheap, but because I generally don't believe in letting some random barber handle my head. Now that I think of it, that statement was reeking of innuendo! Man it would suck if we were in times were everybody was obsessing over homosexuals.
So anyway. this one time I went over for a haircut and he seemed a little out of sorts. So I ask him whether he is okay and he lets out a sigh, shakes his head and then looks at me and says, "Some chic poisoned me last night"
I was alarmed, as you can imagine. No way was I going to let a dead guy touch my hair. What if he was in mid cut and thought, "shit, I need company!" then proceeded to slit my throat.
I asked him whether he would be able to cut my hair, let alone find it.
Another sigh and then he said, "I'm fine." This he said, whilst leaning against the wall and rubbing his eyes.
I can't remember why I did it, but I let him do his thing. It wasn't the shabbiest haircut I'd gotten, but it wasn't the best either. I suppose his fingers kept getting in the way of his line of vision, what with constantly rubbing them.
Supa Strikas Henry
Yes, I know I just said I don't entrust my head with just anybody, but sometimes circumstances dictate that you do things a little differently. . .
Henry loves soccer, I don't. He is crazy about some team called Microsoft United or something and has duds like Whine Ruiney passing the ball around the field.
The only time I express any interest in soccer is when I want to antagonize someone. I only recently decided that I like Chelsea (not the Clinton).
Henry doesn't like Chelsea. One may go as far as suggesting that he may have picked up Herpes from Chelsea and he has sworn to have his vengeance since.
I didn't know that when, as he cut my hair, I proudly declared that Chelsea was the shit!
I first realised that something was amiss when the odd buzzing noise from the machine stopped. Then I couldn't feel the weight on my head. Then Henry was quiet. Was this going to be the end of our customer-barber friendship?
I gazed at the reflection in the mirror, looking for some sort of sign that Henry was there. He was there, but clearly his heart wasn't in it anymore.
Not my best haircut, not my worst.
Wandering Fingers something or the other
This haircut took place the day before my graduation. I needed a decent cut so I went out of my way to find it. Salon Ambience over on Dewinton has a reputation for being badass when it comes to such things so, I made my way there. (How the hell is it possible that I am being asked to correct how I have spelt Dewinton and badass is getting away with it?)
Upon getting to Dewinton road I was ushered to my seat by an extra. He asked me how I wanted it and in my oh-so-tired state I replied, 'short'. He laughed. I missed the joke.
As he went about his business, he kept scrubbing my hair with a toothy instrument that resembled, albeit in the slightest shape and form, a hair brush. Then he reached for the blow dryer to make sure that what little hair had attempted to lay low was blown away for eternity.
He also used every possible attempt to grab my skull. Yes, he held my head so tight, I am sure he made contact with my cerebral cortex at some point.or came away with some grey matter.
I particularly hate having my moustache shaved, because it has all sorts of touchy implications to it. Barbers have an annoying tendency to try and get their knuckles within close proximity to your lips at such moments. What the hell is that about? Is this the Godfather? I half expect him to go like, "you have offended me,and my family, but I will let you make amends. Here, kiss my knuckle!"
This haircut concluded with an offer I could and did refuse. No, I do not want you to give me a facial!!!!
That said, you can see why Barbers terrify me. However, today I figured I'd be brave. My hair had grown out of han.head! So I gathered my wits about me and then went to the salon where I met.
Ambitious Alfie
Dude has a side business some place and earns a commission for every haircut he.does? makes? slices? What word goes with the act of cutting hair? Shit, I've been out the game for so long.
Anyway. Alfred proceeded to tell me that I have nice hair. I didn't know what to say to that so I proceeded to respond as any red blooded male would upon being paid such an off handed compliment. I snorted!
He wasn't phased.
He said you can't really tell unless you cut my hair to 'ground level'.
I can totally see myself cultivating another afro.

India seeks $30m World Bank loan for wildlife
Bank wants changes in Indian laws to comply with its present norms. Chetan Chauhan reports.delhi Updated: Jun 22, 2012 01:18 IST
The environment ministry's bid to seek US $ 30 million from the World Bank to checking poaching in around 600 national parks and sanctuaries could mean making India's wildlife laws compliant with the bank's norms.
The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for the proposed project circulated by the ministry speaks about the need to review relevant environmental and land acquisition legislation comply with World Bank's environmental and social safeguard policies.
India is seeking a loan of US $ 30 million from the World Bank to adopt an integrated national and international approach to checking wildlife poaching, which is now rated as third biggest illegal trade in the world after drugs and weapons. Nepal and Bangladesh have taken funding from the bank for adopting similar approach.
The bank is emphasizing on integrated wildlife protection for entire South Asia, which accounts for 13- 15% of the world's biodiversity and is considered a lucrative target of the trade.
Illegal wildlife trade from South Asia is perceived to be on rise. "Victims of the trade include the iconic tiger and elephant, the snow leopard, the common leopard, the one-horn rhino, pangolin, brown bear, several species of deer and reptiles, seahorses, star tortoises, butterflies, peacocks, hornbills, parrots, parakeets and birds of prey, and corals," the ESMF document prepared joint by the ministry and the bank said.
Within south Asia, Nepal has emerged as a hub for illegal wildlife trade destined for China. Myanmar is another important route for transporting wildlife body parts to Laos and Vietnam, two major global transit hubs for illegal wildlife trade.
The ministry is seeking a loan of US $ 30 million from the bank to strengthen wildlife protection measures across 600 national parks and sanctuaries in India, many of which share boundary with neighbouring countries.
The funds are likely to be used for cross border landscape management approach between the countries, relocation of people living in parks and sanctuaries to create inviolate wildlife areas and satellite based monitoring approach. India would also use the funds to strengthen Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, setting up of Virtual Regional Center of Excellence (VRCE) for wildlife conservation and research projects in wildlife conservation.
"The project will focus on a selected set of country-specific initiatives as well as key mutually agreed regional activities that are crucial to attaining the regional strategic goals," a ministry official said.
The ministry, however, admits that the World Bank funding can impact implementation of environmental laws such as Environment Protection Act of 1986, National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007, Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 with applicability of bank's five policies on environmental protection, natural habitats, forestry, involuntary resettlement and indigenous people.

We hope that you will find the review both informative and interesting. Communication between home and school is really important and this is the first of several opportunities to meet staff about your son/daughter's progress. There is also a progress evening for each year group during the year when parents will be able to meet subject teachers later in the year on the 1st February.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
With best wishes,

On Tuesday's "The Herd" on ESPNU, host Colin Cowherd responded to Stephen A. Smith's suggestion on Monday that the Philadelphia Eagles were making moves that were racially charged.
Cowherd stated that he believes that these moves are not racially charged, but he does believe thinking that these moves are racially charged stem from the racial oppression that has gone on in the United States.
"First of all, Chip Kelly at Oregon brought John Carlos to speak to his team while at Oregon. You know, Black Power Movement. Olympics. I don't think a racist would do that. Chip Kelly, when he was in college, told any coach that would listen, 'I'm going to go to the NFL. I'm going to spend my money on defense. I'm not going to spend my money on quarterbacks. I'm not going to spend my money on running backs. I'm not going to spend my money on wide receivers. Why? I can make anybody a star there.'
"Chip Kelly is like Bill Belichick," he added. "He has such a strong belief in his system, that players outside of Tom Brady are almost incidental. An inventor has such a strong belief in the device he invents. Employees working on the device are replaceable. It's the device. Why wouldn't Chip Kelly think that?"
Later, a caller on the show said that most of the racism he sees now is from people finding racism in things that don't exist.
Cowherd responded by saying, "Racism is here and it's never going to leave, but so is stupidity, but that doesn't mean everybody is stupid. Not everybody is racist, though there's racism everywhere. Not everybody is stupid though there is stupidity everywhere. This is not a racist move. This is a move based on system. That doesn't mean there's not all sorts of racism. Nobody is disputing that."
Watch (Part 2):
He continued, "There may be some in the NFL. There may be some in the NBA. I know there's some in baseball. I know, look at how some players in hockey have been treated by Bruin fans. That was outrageous. We saw the Oklahoma frat. Racism is all over the place but that doesn't mean every move that a black employee cuts cut is racism."

Curried Broccoli Couscous
David Prince
How to Make It
Step 1
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the curry powder and stir to combine. Stir in the chickpeas, raisins, 1 cup water, and ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a boil.
Step 3
Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let steam 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Fallon 2012-04-21T11:38:33-04:00
I found that the blandness was due to adding all of the curry powder to the veggies before adding the couscous and water. I recommend adding some of the curry powder to the veggies, and the rest of it once you've thrown in the water and couscous. This will ensure more of the powder is soaked up into the couscous, rather than just the veggies. The second time I prepared it that way it was MUCH MUCH BETTER :)
I completely agree with prior reviewers, this recipe is very bland. I do plan to make it again though with some changes to punch up the flavor. I love the coconut milk and red curry thai paste suggestion!
floraisabella 2012-01-22T13:48:15-05:00
If you're into Thai food, try adding coconut milk about 1/2 cup to the liquid required (and I used 1/2 cup of vegetable broth). Use a red curry thai paste about 1 Tablespoon instead of the dry curry, a pretty tasty dish!
GDolly107 2011-11-30T06:02:14-05:00
This recipe was BLAND. I even added a lot of garlic powder when cooking the broccoli. Suggestions would be....more curry, and I like the idea of vegetable stock instead of water. Would also load this up with more veggies, since it wasn't much of a meal with just the ingredients in the recipe. Is it supposed to be a side dish?! Disappointed, but I think it has potential.
JudyGarwood 2011-11-28T10:56:03-05:00
It really looks great! I think maybe add 1 teaspoon of tumeric, fresh garlic (pinch) and a little fresh ginger just cause they are so good for you.
asnunez 2011-11-28T10:13:17-05:00
Definitely needs some "juicing" up. I used vegetable stock instead of water and also added some onion and garlic with a sprinkle of cayenne. Much better.

Odds on Another Whitewash
January 12, 2007 Australia, England No Comments
LADBROKES have made England odds on to lose all their four games against Australia in Commonwealth Bank Series after the opening eight-wicket defeat in Melbourne.
Australia are now 4/7, and England are 5/4 against to win at least one game against the Aussies. They are 16/1 to win the event, in a three-horse race.
Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchison said: "The faith which England punters retained during the Ashes Series is a distant memory. We took ten times as much money on the Aussies and suffered accordingly. Ponting and Pietersen were the worst losers in the runscorer books." Commonwealth Bank Series: Australia 1/8 New Zealand 5/1 England 16/1

Has your employer failed to pay you overtime after working more than 40 hours in a single week?
It may be time to contact an overtime lawyer.
Have you put in work weeks in excess of 40 hours but not been paid any overtime? Has your employer paid you overtime at your regular hourly rate? Has your employer asked you to work "off the clock" for tips only? Has your employer made you sign an "independent contractor" agreement? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be the victim of wage theft and an overtime lawyer may be able to help.
Let McDonald Law Firm go head-to-head with your employer so you don't have to.
You need someone on your side with your best interests in mind. The overtime lawyers at McDonald Law Firm understand wage and hour disputes and we know how to recognize when an employer is acting in bad faith. We're prepared to fight for your rights and help you get the overtime compensation you may be owed.
Quick Links:
How much is overtime pay?
How is overtime calculated?
Are you a misclassified worker?
What is your current classification?
Are you exempt from overtime?
Do you think you should be getting overtime pay?
Are you really an independent contractor?
Should you contact an overtime lawyer?
How much will it cost to hire an overtime lawyer?
How much is overtime pay?
According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most nonexempt workers must be paid at 1½ times, or "time and a half" the employee's regular rate of pay for every hour worked over 40 hours in any given work week. There are exceptions to this rule. If you have questions, an overtime lawyer at McDonald Law Firm can help you determine if you may be owed additional pay for the extra time you've worked.
How is overtime calculated?
If you earn $10/hour and you worked 50 hours last week, you should have been paid:
- REGULAR PAY: $10/hour x 40 hours$400
- OVERTIME PAY: $15/hour x 10 hours$150
Are you a misclassified employee?
You could be owed a substantial amount of money from your employer.
One of the most common wage and hour violations is employee misclassification. Sometimes employers misclassify employees to avoid paying overtime. Knowing your current classification is a good place to start. If you have questions about your classification, contact one of our overtime lawyers to help determine your status.
What is your current classification?
- If you earn an hourly wage = NONEXEMPT from overtime
- If you earn a salary or a commission = EXEMPT from overtime (with exceptions)
Think you're owed overtime? We'll go head-to-head with your employer so you don't have to: 877-568-8304
Are you exempt from overtime pay?
Some employers may claim that employees are exempt from overtime, but these exceptions are few and narrowly construed. You are exempt if you fall into any of these categories:
- Executives who manage employees
- Administrators who manage company operations
- Professionals that must be paid a salary under the law
- Independent contractors
Are you currently exempt but think you should be getting overtime pay?
Common examples include:
- You're a salaried manager, administrator or supervisor but you do not actually perform managerial, administrative or supervisory duties.
- Your employer changed your classification, but hasn't changed your job duties.
A simple job duties test can determine whether your employer has violated your overtime rights by misclassifying you. If the test shows that you should not be exempt, your employer may owe you a significant amount of back pay for any overtime you have worked. Contact an experienced overtime lawyer at McDonald Law Firm today to determine if you have a claim.
Are you really an independent contractor?
Independent contractors typically have less rights than employees. If you are an independent contractor and one or more of the following apply to your situation, you may have been misclassified by your employer.
Are you subject to a non-compete agreement?
Are you required to adhere to a strict work schedule?
Are the tools of your trade provided to you by your employer?
Are you required to wear a company uniform?
Do you receive employee type benefits such as insurance, pension plan, vacation hours, sick time?
An overtime lawyer at McDonald Law Firm can help misclassified independent contractors recover backpay they may be owed.
Is it time to contact an overtime lawyer?
We're here to make sure you're being treated fairly by your employer.
Contact McDonald Law Firm for a free consultation to assess your situation and review your potential legal options. It costs you nothing to feel out the strength of your case and you'll leave with a better understanding of your potential legal options.
We don't get paid unless you win. Period.
We'll handle your wage and hour case on a contingency basis, which means there are never any out-of-pocket fees or expenses. We only get paid if we win compensation for you. McDonald Law Firm takes all wage and hour cases seriously and represents each of our clients with integrity, honor and discipline.

In the first half of this year the European Parliament will enact the EU general data protection regulation. The new law will change the current understanding of the importance of the protection of privacy in business activities, particularly in the financial, telecommunications and technology sectors. It will also allow the regulator to impose extremely high fines, while at the same time opening up new opportunities for business.
According to public commentary, the process of enacting this regulation involved one of the biggest lobbying actions in the history of the European Union. On its website the European Parliament says that 3999 amendments to the text of the regulation had been proposed in early 2015. Aside from who lobbied and for what changes, this fact by itself shows the significance of the new law for business – not only European, but perhaps above all American. This is due to a simple reason – under some conditions, the regulation will be directly applicable to all entities that offer goods or services to EU citizens (or alternatively– monitor their behaviour on a large scale). In other words, in view of the course the legislative process has taken, we can conclude that the European privacy protection regulation may have a direct and significant impact on business conducted in the US, Canada or India. Is this good news for EU businesses? I guess so, since their competitors across the ocean will have to process European customers' data on the same terms, which until now was not at all obvious. Another issue is the mechanism for enforcement of this new law, and the extent to which it will be effective. We will probably not have to wait long to see how the EU regulators put it into practice.
Without a doubt, the new regulation will change the attitude of EU and international business to the protection of customers' and employees' privacy. By replacing the national laws of the European Union countries, the regulation will force us to reflect more deeply on companies' data protection policies at the highest levels of organisation. The first signs of this can be seen by observing the positions of those responsible for data protection in the structure of European companies – most commonly they report directly to the CEO or have the title of "Vice President" on their business cards. Businesses recognise the importance of data – including personal data – and how it can affect their position on the market. The EU legislator also recognises this, and directly indicates how to process data, for example, for customer profiling (where as a rule the consent of each customer will be required) and how to build a policy of transparency in data processing.
Currently, the protection of personal data in EU law is decidedly analogue, unsuited to the surrounding reality, not only business, but also social. This unfavourable situation will change as soon as the new regulation comes into force and answers – or at least tries to answer – a series of questions that are already digital. How can the new law help business? It may give a hint on how to profile individuals (in particular customers) without violating their privacy, or how to create personal data processing software (e.g. CRM/ERP) in accordance with the highest standards of data protection, or how to make a proper assessment when choosing entities to professionally process data, including providers of cloud computing services.
Despite the fact that the period to adjust to the new law is relatively long – the EU legislator gives businesses two years to adapt their activities – due to the nature of the changes businesses have no time to lose. It is necessary to intensely analyse the new regulatory environment now – especially if we suspect that our company has to catch up in this respect – and assess the expenditures required to comply with the new rules. But an analysis on its own is not enough. Compliance with the new rules will require a series of complex operations in which all units of a company must be properly involved, in particular, those responsible for IT, sales and marketing, i.e. departments that are crucial for most businesses. You may need to re-evaluate data security guarantees offered by service providers, even those which concern – at first glance – trivial issues, for example in connection with the use of employment agencies, calculation and payment of wages, or storage of backup data. More complicated cases, such as the use of cloud computing services, will require far more attention, and this is due to a much wider range of risks that may arise in connection with the transfer of data to many different entities and countries. In some cases it will be necessary to engage entirely new providers of such services, or at least amend the agreements concluded with current providers. You also cannot rule out that it will be necessary to adapt the software your company uses, not only to implement a "privacy by default" policy (offering a maximally high level of privacy from the very beginning of data processing) or a "privacy by design" policy (ensuring the compliance of all data processing IT systems and procedures with the new regulation), but also to check whether this software actually allows the permanent and real removal of data (as opposed to just "hiding" the data in the system).
The new law will also involve new processes. Apart from choosing appropriate service providers that guarantee a high level of data protection, in certain situations businesses will have to assess the impact of planned business ventures on their customers' or employees' privacy (Privacy Impact Assessment) – for example, when new, previously unknown technology is used for data processing. This complex task may require contact with the regulator and compliance with its instructions, which is worth bearing in mind before the planned process is implemented and before the company bears any costs associated with it.
Finally, a few words about possible sanctions. The regulation, in an expression of European pragmatism, does not provide for the imposition of criminal sanctions. Does this mean that the new law will be ignored? Probably not, as it provides with 27 cases when it is possible to impose financial penalties. And these are high – up to EUR 20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, which in my opinion could be very painful for even the most financially stable of businesses.

Useful Techniques for Fly Fishing
Fly fishing techniques can be utilized on channels, streams, fish ponds and lakes. Fly fishing functions in salty drinking water and fresh water, cool water and tepid to warm water. Fly fishing techniques could be divided into the sub - surface area and on the top. Subsurface requires fishing between your bottom level of the stream and the top of the drinking water column. Cast the fly to a posture in front of the road of a target seafood. This position ought to be a spot on either part of the seafood but before it. Casting a light fly like this is difficult with traditional fishing rods and casting is usually one of the most crucial skills a fly fisherman must grasp. Understanding how to cast is good dedication to the artwork. Cast out from the boat or drop it straight over the medial side, downward. After the lure hits bottom draw it upward and allow it free fall back again to bottom level. Cast it out, after that retrieve it quickly through the drinking water and the seafood will toss themselves at it.
Fishing rods were still weighty and awkward, as the few existing reels had been very just constructed and quite little compared to the rods. The rotating spool lacked a break and also had only 1 function - to shop the collection on. Rods that are average to slow doing his thing may also be used because they load easily and so are enjoyable to cast for prolonged periods. Find more info at our site.
Anglers have already been trained that the range should straighten completely by the end of a cast, however, when you are casting downstream, this "most ideal" casting technique causes the fly to start dragging instantly, making a lifeless drift difficult. My most experienced customers, those who could actually hook the seafood in this pool, determined that the key to the demonstration was slack. Anglers began devising running series systems, where they might use shorter rods and much longer lines. Ultimately, this resulted in the advancement of reels and the widespread utilization of shorter rods and reels. Anglers additionally rise contrasting literature concerning to fly fishing. Your competition of fly-fishing and also each one of these literature gave the repute to be the hearth of dried out fly fishing.
Completely, basically using weights on the first choice or the fly collection can do a sufficient work of pulling down a wet fly to the proper depth. Usually the reels are expensive since they are produced from special materials and also have a number of features. Completely, whenever a fly is definitely cast for bass it must be permitted to remain unmoving for an extended time period then for trout. It's estimated that 60% of bass strikes are created on a still fly. Nymph fishing, because the fly is underwater and can be frequently incredibly small, can test the capabilities of any angler, and frequently leaves the newbie angler frustrated to intense levels. Yet, the power of having great nymph fishing technique has been vital to productive trout fishing. For even more info, please check this site about fly fishing. Click here for some detailed facts.

The City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) is identifying and mapping lands on O'ahu that meet the statutory requirements for consideration as IAL. Preparation of the IAL maps complies with State law—Hawai'i Revised Statutes, Chapter 205—which mandates that each county will map lands within their jurisdiction to be recommended to the State Land Use Commission for IAL designation.
Through the identification of IAL, the City will articulate its long-term vision of high-quality farm lands that are to be protected from future development for productive agricultural use. In addition, the City will provide policy guidance for a long-standing issue concerning the quality of lands that make up the existing inventory of lands in the State Agricultural District (since not all the land in the State Agricultural District is suitable for farming).
Hawai'i's land use system provides a framework for statewide land use management. All lands in the State are classified into one of four state land use districts (Urban, Rural, Agricultural, or Conservation), with specific land uses allowable in each district. The State Agricultural District is generally comprised of:
- Farmland suitable for crops, pasture or forestry
- Federally-owned land that is not available for agricultural production, and
- Land that does not have the qualities necessary to be classified as one of the other land use districts but may be suitable for recreational uses (parks, golf courses) and open space.
Working within the State's land use regulatory framework, IAL is a special State land use classification for an exclusive sub-set of high-quality farm land within the State Agricultural District. Administered by the State Land Use Commission, IAL overlays existing State and county land use classifications (i.e., state land use districts, county zoning districts) without changing the classifications or affecting the range of current allowable land uses. In addition to regulatory protections that make IALs more difficult to reclassify or urbanize, lands that receive the IAL designation are granted access to financial incentives that make farming more viable. Such incentives, which address the high cost of farming and the profitability of farmers on IAL, currently include the ability to construct on-site farm dwellings and employee housing, income tax credits for agricultural costs, financing opportunities, loan guarantees, and expedited state-level permitting for agricultural processing facilities.

Cyanotype over Platinum (First results)
I was able to get the pre sized Platinum print to register with the cyanotype negative, with quite a bit of masking tape i might add!! The above scan shows the result. The Cyanotype layer i think is too strong and needs to be more subtle so i think i will half the exposure time on next few prints either that or adjust the cyanotype negative, not sure which approach to take yet but will try something. I really want to keep some of the luminosity of the platinum layer.
Below is the first result uncropped which shows my rather clumsy methods! :)

text: I've read bits and pieces of dale carnegies work, the secret, law of attraction.. and those types of books.. which are mostly all the same way of thinking.. and having that consciousness and ability to actually take that knowledge in and keep it, practice it, etc. I actually was on the other side of the fence and thought it was a bunch of complete nonsense and morons with how the media portrayed it. but after becoming conscious, researching and learning. I'm at a new point in my life.. and I want to make friends with other like-minded people so we can truly focus off of each others positive energy. I just think I would be able to accomplish a lot more in my life and also help each other. fyi: after re-reading what I wrote above.. it even sounds kinda retarded to me as well.. but to the people that understand.. if you could give me any advice on the following 2 questions. 1. I have tried telling some of my friends about these books and how it's really changed my perspectives in everything that I do, and how I live my life. obviously if someone isn't conscious enough.. they will be like I was before and think I'm a retard and never actually research it or even consider my pitch. so I'm curious if anyone has some tips on trying to recommend these books to people.. a better pitch or way to tell my friends to actually seek out knowledge and research it themselves. 2. I'd also like to make friends with anyone on here that is like-minded. I'm not going to spoon-feed anyone.. and I don't expect anyone to spoon-feed me on things. but it's nice having like-minded people that you can throw a question at.. that will actually look in several different points of views, instead of just themselves. so if you'd like to be friends you can PM me your facebook/skype/whatever.

Chimney fires in homes in Warninglid and Henfield have helped to prompt a safety warning from West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.
Firefighters were called to three separate fires across the county yesterday (Wednesday January 21) within eight hours.
A chimney fire was reported at a home in Colwood Lane, Warninglid at about 1pm, while a stove caused a fire in a house in Brighton Road, Henfield at around 7.30pm.
Later in the evening, crews also attended a chimney fire at a cottage in Bognor.
In all three cases firefighters were able to extinguish the blazes quickly, but the fire service has reminded homeowners that chimney fires can be devastating.
Crews attended 128 across the county in 2014.
Watch commander Jon Etherington, whose crew tackled the blaze in Bognor, said: "The weather has turned considerably colder recently so some people are lighting their open fires and wood burners for the first time this winter.
"Unfortunately, we're seeing a rise in chimney fires as a result.
"Most chimney fires are preventable. They are usually caused by a build-up of coal soot or wood tar deposits so regular professional sweeping of your chimney flue removes those deposits and reduces the risk of a fire."
