Meet the team that make our key decisions.
The Chesterfield College Group is a leading provider of further education, higher education, apprenticeships and professional training, with a national reputation for the quality of our provision and the high standards of customer service and support we offer.
Chesterfield College is located near to the town centre of Chesterfield and attracts students from across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. The college is very much at the heart of the community it serves and provides a range of courses that aim to offer a route into education and training for everyone, whatever level they are working at. The college works closely with local employers and researches labour marketing information and industry projections to ensure that the curriculum offer reflects the needs of the area.
This ensures that our students enrol on a course that has clear pathways to further study and/or employment opportunities once they leave us. Learning Unlimited is the employer engagement arm of the organisation, with offices and training centres in key strategic locations throughout the country.
At present, Learning Unlimited has teams based in Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham and Manchester, working with over 1,900 different employers ranging from sole traders and SMEs to national companies and global brands. In the past two years we have provided apprenticeships and other work-based training to Nestle, Bombardier, the Post Office, Royal Mail, the NHS, Balfour Beatty, Tarmac and Derbyshire County Council. Learning Unlimited is one of the biggest providers of apprenticeships in the country, currently delivering 55 different frameworks across a wide range of industries.
In total, the Chesterfield College Group has over 10,000 students and apprentices enrolled on a classroom course or work-based training. Our achievement rates are 2.1% above the national average for 16-18 year olds and 2.9% above the national average for adults. Our apprenticeship achievement rates are 3.5% above the national benchmark (and 16.4% above the national benchmark for Learning Unlimited Derby students). 98.9% of all classroom-based students and 93.9% of all work-based students, progress to a positive destination when they leave us (paid employment or further study).
In 2016 we were placed joint third in the country by FE Week, based on learner satisfaction, employer satisfaction, destination data and apprenticeship growth.

Our Mission:
"Inspiring Futures, Changing Lives"
Our Vision:
"To be recognised locally and nationally as an outstanding college by the students, employers and communities we serve."
We place our students at the centre of everything we do which is reflected in our five strategic priorities:
Strategic intent: Customer excellence, talented people, outstanding services
Our commitment to developing our people, creating a workforce with the knowledge, skills and commitment to deliver outstanding services for our students.

Our innovative student and employer-driven curriculum will provide the technical and professional skills needed to be successful in the workplace, and our drive for excellence will ensure that students maximise their potential to achieve high grades.
Strategic intent: Responsive, ambitious, educational business
Responding to the needs of our students and wider community by ensuring our provision provides pathways to employment, further or higher education. We will directly align our offer to the skills requirements of employers and needs of the local and regional economy, enhancing the region's economic competitiveness. Our continued growth and the development of new services will be based on high quality and the strong relationships we have with our community and stakeholders.
Strategic intent: Financially sound, equipped to flourish
Creating a sustainable platform for our financial health, providing safety and security for our future organisation, and providing funds to support our future plans. We will ensure that we are able to invest in our resources and technology to provide an outstanding experience for all our students and stakeholders, allowing them to flourish and maximise their potential. Our wider strategy will ensure that we develop and engage students and employers in learning opportunities that support our prosperity.
Strategic intent: Driving ambition, enabling progression, maximising potential
A shared ambition to ensure all students aim high, succeed and prosper to the best of their ability in education, work and life. A high performing culture which fosters the development of a network of educational and training excellence, raising aspirations, tracking progress and providing support where needed.

Brogyntyn Burrowings
North-west of Brogyntyn Hall is a Grade II listed tunnel of the nineteenth century, built of coarsely-shaped limestone, and carrying over the older road the drive that would have led to the hall.
Nearby is what remains of twelfth-century Castell Brogyntyn, the ringwork recently cleared of trees. The outer ditch is about 18 feet across and 12 feet deep, enclosing a circular area of about 260 feet in diameter, the central part used in the high days of the hall as a bowling green.
With its entrances in the ditch is a tunnel, about seven feet high, that runs right under the castle remains, curved in plan, and likely part of the eighteenth-century landscaping of the park.

… or you can call it raw vegan lemon cheesecake! No matter how you are going to name this raw vegan recipe, if you are one of those who like citrus fruits in desserts, this is probably one of the vegan recipes you are going to stick with as it has the characteristic fragrance and taste of fresh lemons and the sweetness of the lemon-pie but on the same time it is healthy, sugar free, gluten free and raw vegan. It's easy to make, it's one of the healtiest vegan desserts I can think of (appart from raw fruits of course 🙂 )
Since we are passionate with lemony desserts, I make this recipe whenever we want to taste an authentic lemon cream without sugar, gluten and baking.
(for a pie of 20-22 cm diameter)
For the crust
- ½ cup raw almonds
- ½ cup raw walnuts
- ½ cup raisins
For the lemon cream
- 2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 4-6 hours and drained
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ cup agave nectar or other raw liquid sweetener
- ½ cup coconut oil or cocoa butter, melted
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- zest of 3 lemons
- For the crust: Wash the raisins, drain them and put them in the food processor along with the nuts. Process for a few minutes until a soft dough is formed. If you do not like the small pieces of nuts in the base, process the nuts until they become powdered and add the raisins afterwards.
- For the lemon cream: Put in blender half of the cashews, the lemon juice, the agave nectar, the zest and the coconut oil and blend for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is creamy and uniform. Add the rest of the cashews and blend for few more minutes until they are incorporated in the mixture and the texture of the cream is smooth and homogeneous.
- Assembly: Line a cheesecake pan of 20-22 cm diameter with greaseproof paper and spread the crust mixture over the bottom. Press with your hands to distribute equally and form the crust. Pour the lemon cream on top of the crust and refrigerate for 8-12 hours to set.
- Before serving garnish with lemon zest, nuts or lemon slices.
Note: My secret for a mouthwatering lemon cream is the use of really fresh organic lemons.

MARINES: Unit loses one of its own in Kut firefight
2003-04-04 04:00:00 PDT Kut, Iraq -- The Iraqis chose a small, pretty palm grove to make their stand.
They waited while the Marines rolled through the outskirts of this city, 100 miles southeast of Baghdad, firing away at buildings and vehicles, anything that looked military. And then, when the lumbering M-1 Abrams tanks rumbled past the grove with the dug-in bunkers, the Iraqis opened up.
It turned into a slaughterhouse. Poorly armed and facing overwhelming firepower, about a dozen Iraqi soldiers and irregular fighters died where they stood Thursday. One was taken prisoner.
"We wanted to smack them down," said Lt. Col. B.P. McCoy, the battalion commander. "That was the sole purpose of this mission."
But the Iraqis got in their licks, too. A young Marine corporal lost his life in this action, and three others were wounded.
"As successful as we've been, the first casualty really brings you up short and drives home that we're doing this for real," said Maj. Matt Baker, the battalion's executive officer.
The Marines had driven up from Diwaniya the previous day, following a path taken by another U.S. regiment. Death and destruction littered the route.
Iraqi bodies lay on the side of the road, jackets covering the faces of the dead. Military vehicles were smoking ruins. A herd of sheep lay silent, giving off the putrid smell of death along the highway.
The battalion arrived near Kut after dark and settled down for the night. Word came that Iraqis had been there as the Marines rolled up, and had left so quickly that cooking fires were still alight.
In the morning, the Marines found pots, some with tea in them, along with uniforms, blankets, AK-47 rifles, machine guns, mortars and rocket propelled grenades (RPGs). In some cases, Marines slept five feet from discarded small arms and did not known it.
Thursday started grim, with 155mm howitzers shaking the earth as they launched high explosive rounds into areas around Kut. By midmorning, the unit started advancing on Kut. U.S. forces learned early in this war -- from ambushes, prisoners taken and dead Americans -- not to take the smaller, irregular Iraqi forces outside Baghdad for granted.
The 3rd Battalion had already made a name for itself, having made "suppression runs" through towns where Iraqi irregular units were known to be. At Diwaniya, the battalion had killed an estimated 92 Iraqis and taken many prisoner.
The raid on Kut had a similar purpose: Track down the Baghdad Infantry Division, supposedly located here, and keep them at bay while the rest of the 1st Marine Division got into position to the east of Baghdad.
Tanks took the lead, followed by armored assault vehicles filled with heavily armed Marines. The plan works like this: If the tanks see enemy bunkers or armored vehicles, they fire. If they see infantry, they fire. And they call on the assault Marines -- like this unit -- to get out and find and kill the Iraqis.
The column crossed the Tigris River and moved slowly toward town, occasionally stopping to fire their 120mm turret guns at a target. The staccato burst of a .50-caliber machine gun mounted atop the turret lit up targeted bunkers and armored vehicles.
There was little sign of Iraqis. Businesses and homes all seemed to be empty, as if residents knew a battle was coming.
And it was hot.
As the tanks crept past a palm grove to the right of the road, a gunner spotted a bunker in the grass and opened up with the .50-caliber gun.
Iraqis in the bunkers and hidden behind trees opened up with AK-47s and some light machine guns. The rounds plinked ineffectually off the thick tank armor.
An RPG hit the side of an armored vehicle, bounced and then exploded in midair. Apparently, the grenade had been fired too close to arm itself. Otherwise, it might have opened up the vehicle and killed some or all of the Marines inside.
Armored personnel carriers (APC) drove up. The rear ramps came down and the infantry poured out, racing down a small embankment and firing into the trees.
A head popped up from behind a tree stump about 30 yards away. A rain of fire came from the Marines' position and the Iraqi soldier slumped over, dead.
The infantry poured hundreds of M-16 rounds into the woods. A young corporal, standing next to one of the APCs, fired a grenade launcher at an Iraqi bunker. He turned and caught a bullet in the gut. He went down.
A medic went to work on him while the firefight continued 20 yards away. He was awake and coherent, said Baker, and bitching about getting hit.
A humvee pulled up and took the Marine back to a field hospital. He died aboard a medevac helicopter before he could get to a surgical hospital in the rear.
In the grove, the Marines advanced, firing rapidly. They tossed grenades over bulldozed earth. The "whump" of the grenades shook the trees and earth around them.
Two other Marines were shot as they moved forward. Medics took them behind a dirt pile and bandaged them.
"God, it hurts," said a young Marine, gritting his teeth against the pain. "Kill some of those mother-- for me."
By then, it was about over. Marine squads had swept through the woods and come out the other side. They found caches of weapons and ammunition and burned them. Smoke filled the air, mixed with occasional explosions as some of the Iraqi weaponry "cooked off."
Up on the road, two Marines brought a prisoner, his hands tied tightly behind him. He wore green pants and a black sweater. Not the uniform of a regular soldier, or Republican Guard. He spoke English, but had little to say except that his arm hurt. It looked broken.
Moments later, four Marines brought out an Iraqi in terrible shape. His left leg was broken and twisted back behind him and he was bleeding profusely. He was dropped on the ground next to the other prisoner, who was forced to look at his mutilated comrade. The man appeared to be dead, but then groaned and moved. He, too, was taken to the field hospital, but a short time later a body bag could be seen on a stretcher being carried to a helicopter.
The Marines gathered Iraqi personal effects and clothing from inside the bunkers. Among them was a wallet containing faded black and white photographs of men, possibly relatives, and some ads for a construction company and for a videotaping store.
But the day's fighting was not quite complete. As the tanks continued to drive toward town, a half-dozen Iraqis made what appeared to be a suicide charge. Running out over open ground, they charged the 65-ton tanks with just their AK-47s. The tanks mowed them down.
"We actually took some fire," said Sgt. Leigh Hahn, 23, of South Bend, Ind. "You can see some of the marks there on the gun, and up there on the TC (tank commander) hatch. The only thing it did bad was knock the sights off the .50 cal."
By the end of the day, approximately 30 Iraqis were dead and a dozen Iraqi tanks destroyed. One Marine had died and three were wounded. In addition to the two infantry Marines who were hit, a tank commander caught a round in the hand.
A lance corporal from the unit died last week when his humvee drove into a ditch filled with water, but they had never lost a comrade in battle before. The shock of the corporal's death was doubled because he had seemed all right when he was first evacuated.
"It's weird. Usually, we get into a fight, and we all come back happy and talking about it," said a Marine Thursday night. "Today, when you lose one, it's not the same."
After the fighting, hundreds of Iraqis streamed down the same road that had earlier been abandoned. They were headed back to Kut, some waving and smiling, others sullen and limping. Some took time to strip any valuables from the destroyed vehicles left along the side of the road.
Before the battle, McCoy, the battalion commander, reminded his officers of a quote by Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman from the Civil War: "War is cruelty. You cannot refine it."

NashX is owned and operated by Mosaically Inc.
Hi, this is Seong Yup Yoo. I'm the founder and CEO of Mosaically Inc. which started in 2006, and incorporated in 2009. I've recently found out about Bitcoin and Litecoin and have decided to start providing a new service to the Bitcoin/Litecoin community, which I felt the need to use myself. Mosaically was started much in the same way. One of the reasons why I'm writing this right now is because lack of trust in exchanges in the Bitcoin/Litecoin community to trust a new exchange due to many previous scammers. I just want to assure you that NashX is not a scam website. It is flying under the wings of Mosaically Inc. until it can fly on its own. It has no intention of getting a few of your Bitcoins/Litecoins and running off with it. NashX wants to be a big part of the community providing a valuable service to the community, while helping Bitcoins/Litecoins and other cryptocurrencies mature and grow to becoming global currencies. If you have any questions for me, you can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet me @seongyupyoo and I would be happy to answer your questions.
Thank you,
Seong Yup Yoo

Ukraine and the Iranian corn market: entry is free until June
Following the lifting of sanctions in January 2016, Iran resumed production of crude oil that facilitated the country's economic growth and the build-up of export revenues. This resulted in the restoration of Iran's agricultural sector, car manufacturing, foreign trade and transport system throughout 2016. The growing of some crops, in particular wheat, corn, and barley is subsidized by the government in the form of guaranteed prices for which it buys these crops for state reserves.
However, due to climate changes, the country requires increasingly higher imports of grains. This particularly concerns corn, which is susceptible to high temperatures and moisture shortages. According to USDA estimates, Iran harvested 2540 KMT of corn in the season of 2016/17, or as nearly much as in the previous several seasons.
At present current imports of corn by Iran are all-time high. According to UkrAgroConsult's analysts, Ukraine has an opportunity to increase its presence on this prospective market and ship additional volumes of corn until competitors come.
Full version of the article is available to subscribers for weekly market report "Black Sea Grain & Oil" and "Online market review" by UkrAgroConsult.

Wendy Wood Ordway BCST, OTR/L
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist
Occupational Therapist
CranioSacral Therapy Certification with
The Upledger Institute
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy -
3 year training completed
Occupational Therapist, registered by
AOTA, licensed in NYS
Wendy discovered Craniosacral Therapy in 1997 while working as a pediatric OT. She found that this work was beneficial for her in helping to eliminate a stiff and painful neck problem. Wendy decided to study CST and found that it was useful in improving the health of her family, friends and OT clients. Wendy provided CST to clients at Well on the Way in Ossining, NY and privately in home settings before moving to Saratoga Springs in 2009.
In 2011 Wendy opened The Body's Rhythm-Craniosacral Therapy on Beekman Street in Saratoga Springs. In April of 2013 Wendy relocated her practice to The Garden at 434 Church Street, Saratoga Springs.
Craniosacral Therapy was developed by cranial osteopaths who became very interested in the fluid body and how it affects the musculoskeletal and central nervous system. Craniosacral Therapy can be beneficial for many health concerns including headaches, neck and back pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, brain injuries, orthopedic issues, learning disabilities, sensory integration limitations, TMJ syndrome, depression, tinnitus, PTSD and any disorders related to the central nervous system.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is especially helpful for infants and children. Sessions can be useful for expectant mom's to facilitate optimal birthing of their babies and self healing. Newborns can benefit from sessions soon after birth to encourage health and well-being in their new lives outside the womb. Babies with feeding difficulties, colic, reflux, sleeping problems, torticolis and developmental concerns can be helped through this work.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can be of significant benefit to many people. It is gentle enough to use with both newborns and the elderly but dynamic enough so that it can help issues such as migraines and birth trauma. Biodynamic CST can facilitate the body's return to its earliest memories of being a new life in utero. It is in those early days of development that every system in the body is demonstrating amazing fluidity. A biodynamic session can provide deep relaxation and release of both physical and emotional limitations.Articles published in the Healing Springs Journal:

Margaret Sullivan, the public editor of The New York Times, has been vocal in her criticism over the newspaper's compliance with government requests. A recent decision by The Times, however, got her support.
That decision was The Times' disclosure of the location of a potential U.S. drone strike against an American with alleged terrorist ties. While the Associated Press and The Washington Post reported the same story, they withheld the American's location at the government's request. The Times, however, pushed back against the request and reported that the American was in Pakistan.
"This week's decision by The Times was a sound and carefully determined one, and Ms. Ryan's articulation of the reasons made me want to cheer," Sullivan wrote.
Sullivan was referring to The Times' Washington bureau chief Carolyn Ryan's explanation of the decision to The Huffington Post. Ryan had said that "it's important to give readers as much information as possible about the circumstances surrounding" a debate about killing an American citizen, among other reasons for the newspaper's reporting.
The move is in line with Sullivan's call for the newspaper to approach government requests with greater skepticism. In a column last year about the balance between national security and the public interest, for example, she questioned the newspapers' decision to withhold the location of a base used for drone strikes.
"News organizations, after all, don't want to endanger the nation's safety, or be accused of doing so, so editors often listen to government officials when they make their case for not publishing. And, after listening, editors occasionally consent," she wrote. "But a countervailing force — people's right to know what their government is doing and the news media's responsibility to find out and tell them — ought to rule the day."

Authorities in Houston have released a Snapchat clip of a man firing a semi-automatic weapon from the backseat of a moving vehicle.
The video posted on Snapchat shows a man holding plastic cup as he smoked before he fired the firearm multiple time from the backseat of the vehicle, according to the Daily Mail.
The man, who has the username "DabDaddyDono", was heard saying "Gang gang who want smoke?" in the clip.
'The precise location of the incident has not yet been determined and it is believed to have taken place in March or the beginning of April.
However, authorities allege that the incident occurred in northwest Houston as the suspect posted his location on a picture shortly before he posted shooting video.
Police hope that publishing the video to the public will help them apprehend the man.
It appears that investigators have seen several of the suspect's posts, as they have also published a picture of him with his friends from the same night.
It is not the first time Houston authorities are looking for a Snapchat shooter.
In 2017, a couple was taken into custody after a video was posted on Snapchat that showed them taking a joy ride while shooting pistols.
Sierra Tarbutton, 27, entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to five years behind bars. Her boyfriend, 29-year-old Michael Cuellar, is serving a six-year sentence for harassing an officer after he was placed on probation in 2016.

Hollywood actress Shailene Woodley struggled to breathe when wearing a brace to tackle her curved spine.
The 22 year old was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 15 and had to wear a plastic splint from her chest to her hips every day for two years to straighten her back.
The Divergent actress found it difficult to live with the brace on a daily basis, saying, "It's like wearing a tacky, disgusting, plastic corset for 18 hours a day. In the beginning, it was hard to eat or breathe and I had to give up cross-country running. But I needed to have it to realign my spine."

The Tories and the Yale Man
The Tories held their last debate of the semester on Wednesday, November 30, in the Saybrook Athenaeum Room.
Most parties have a "joke debate" once a semester. Refusing to tag anyone of our debates with a name like that, we merely understand that our last debate was supposed to be the funniest by a good measure. Hence the debate topic from the previous term had been "Resolved: Cupid's Arrows are Weapons of Mass Destruction."
The topic this time would be the humorous (though potentially serious) resolution: "The Yale Man is Dead, and The Yale Woman Killed Him."
I was not exactly sure how to gear up for this debate, and so planned no speech in advance. I listened to a Winston Churchill recording as I put on my suit, not with a mind to employ him in the debate, but merely as a relaxation. I took care to remove the crease in my necktie knot – the little dimple is so fashionable that I had to conclude that it must be in bad taste.
I headed over with five minutes to debate time, knowing that this way I would spend no more than ten minutes outside before someone showed up with a key. The debate was for 7:30, and we would start, with classic Tory punctuality, at 8:00.
When the Athenaeum Room was opened there were four or five of us. The provost had gone out of his way to provide some holiday beverages – he had tried hard to get the famously revolting "Holiday Spice" Pepsi. As this had fortunately been unavailable, the special drink of the night turned out to be egg nog.
We spent twenty minutes or so chatting with each other, noting with interest a very strong turnout that included two guests from the Independent Party (including the President of the YPU), one sometime chairman of the p.o.r., the current chairman of the Libs, the Floor Leader of the left, and various other guests. They no doubt expected that a room full of traditionalist Tories would make this debate topic a particularly lively one.
There were around twenty-five people in the room when the chairman gaveled the debate to order. Our secretary, though she would shortly have to leave for a class, was present at the debate's beginning. She read the minutes from our previous debate, noting particularly that "Mr. Gelernter gave a speech in the negative…well, his own negative." It was true that I had been the only one to take the negative in our last debate "Resolved: This House Prefers Tyranny to Anarchy" explicitly refusing to endorse either one.
The minutes were amended on a minor point and approved, and the secretary stood to read the topic of the night's debate:
"Resolved: The Yale Man is Dead, and The Yale Woman Killed Him."
The chairman asked for speeches in the affirmative, but none were forthcoming. After a considerable silence, the former chairman offered his services, beginning in a jovial spirit: "I had in fact planned to speak in the negative, but the wording of the resolution is such that it should be pretty easy to twist things around." The former chairman argued that the Yale Man had simply died away as a result of losing the traditional marks of a gentleman and because of the seeming dissolution of classic distinctions between men and women (other than purely animal).
I began to formulate my own speech in the negative along the lines that not only is the Yale Man not dead, but the Yale Woman couldn't have killed him anyway. I did not, however, volunteer to give the opening speech in the negative, waiting instead to see which way the debate would go.
The first speaker in the negative, the Freshman Drama Tory (hereafter FDT, if I should find occasion to reference him) claimed that the Yale Man did still exist, merely in a different form, and also seemed to suggest that his new state was not necessarily worse than his old one.
The debate had still managed to stay away from the essential point of what it is to be a man. Another speaker in the negative, the chief whip, approached this point by discussing chivalry. He pinned chivalry exclusively to combat, however, while it is actually religion that chivalry cannot exist without.
I tried to volunteer for a negative speech several times without success. Mr. Johnston, a freshman who sat next to me, was also eager to speak. I must have projected such a burning desire to take the floor, however, that he graciously decided to step aside and let me have it. This was very fortunate indeed, for I planned to mention Mr. Johnston in my speech.
When I was finally recognized for a speech in the negative we were two hours into the debate. Nevertheless, no one on either side had succeeded in being very provocative or, I thought, tremendously daring in his assertions. I planned to make a light speech, keeping the humorous intent of the debate in mind. As it turned out, however, I could not help but say certain things that led me to be asked about certain other things, and before I knew it the intensity of the debate had risen considerably.
My opening speech ran as follows:
"The first point to be made is that the Yale Woman could not have killed the Yale Man – she never had the power to do so. If it were not, in fact, for the Yale Man, there would be no such thing as a Yale Woman in the first place – like it or not, women could have beat their fists on Yale's gates for a thousand years and they would still not be here, if it were not for the Yale Man's knuckling under, so to speak.*
"Fortunately for us, the Yale Man still lives. This is not to say that he is very well, though. He did his level best to commit suicide in the 70s. The Yale Woman couldn't kill him – he had to do it himself. He stood at the edge of chivalry with the noose of feminism about his neck and prepared to jump. [You should imagine my pacing the floor at this point, making some rather expansive gestures.] He began to forget love of country, honor, and chivalry – and all the things that make a man.
"But now he is beginning to remember these things again. At a debate three or four weeks ago, the word chivalry was spoken on the Tory Floor and someone applauded it. It was Mr. Johnston. And as long as there are men who will clap for chivalry the Yale Man is not dead.
"I believe even that the Yale Man shall grow stronger, as feminism, a blight on civilization is being beaten back. Feminism is truly the most repulsive disaster ever to have befallen our society. But with the coming death of feminism the Yale Man shall return once again to the glory of his former days. And with that I yield the floor to questions."
I then went on to field what I believe was the largest number of questions any speaker had been asked at any of the debates that year. Over a dozen questions focused on my view of feminism. In the course of questions I gradually made the following argument:
A woman has a responsibility to raise and take care of children. She has a remarkable natural aptitude for this, and inherently cares about children in a manner which men do not: I have often been at some social function or family gathering where a little kid trips and hurts himself, and I always hear someone say "awwww", expressing sympathy with the little kid who is crying his head off. In my experience, that person has without exception been a female; women are likely to feel a natural impulse to take care of and comfort a kid, whereas the male reaction is normally to wish that the kid would just shut up and stop making so much noise.
Man's interests and talents lie in other directions. I do not believe that the feminist suggestion that women have simply been suppressed can explain why it is that the greatest scientists, the greatest chess champions, all the winning drivers of the Indy 500, the greatest fighters and military strategists and so on have been men. Men are naturally aggressive and competitive, and therefore well suited to their duty, which is to provide for and protect their families.
Indeed, no self-respecting gentleman can stoop the level of sending his wife to work – of extracting money from her so he can live a more comfortable life, knowing that no matter how little time she may spend at work, there is no job so small that it cannot detract from the attention the child will receive.
Even if the wife is able to get a better job than the husband, it is still the husband's job to work. On principle, and for the sake of the children whom the mother is uniquely suited to care for, the family will enjoy a lower standard of living in order that both the wife and husband may accept their responsibilities.
For a woman who is capable of making a good living or who enjoys her work, her sacrifice is doubly great and must be noted. It is not easy to be a good mother. It is likely the hardest job of all, and the most important.
I was asked what I would say to a daughter of mine who would tell that she wanted to grow up to have a career as a doctor, and to find new cures for disease. I would tell her that such an ambition is laudable for her concern for others, but that she has even a higher duty, which is to make sure that her children receive from her all they can, and are properly brought up.
I am truly surprised how cheaply these supposedly noble feminists are bought off. In exchange for money and positions of power in business they turn their backs on their children, and force other women to do the same. Ostensibly fighting for humanity, they sell out for cash.
That is the sum of what I said during question time. As you can see, we were little concerned with the actual topic – the Yale Man status is not discussed. At the same time this session was certainly as closely watched, and as much clapped for and hissed at as any other in the debate. It did take guts to say what did, and while I was at the time exhilarated it was a sad point of reflection later on – today it takes guts to say what everybody knew 30 years ago.
Following my speech there was no volunteer for a speech in the affirmative, and so Mr. Johnston took the floor for another speech in the negative. He argued from a copy of William F. Buckley's God and Man at Yale, that, while there was hope for the Yale Man, he had died as an institution. He died not because of anything the Yale Woman had done to him, but because he had become an atheist, and could not survive as such. I enjoyed listening to his speech very much, especially because I often noted in his speeches the same sort of religious strain that was in mine.
Following Mr. Johnston's speech we were ready for a division on the motion. Our chairman looked around the room for a suitable acting sergeant-at-arms, and selected me.
After a brief comment on the general puniness and non-sharpness of the Replacement Temporary Tory Sword, I divided the body simply, with affirmatives to my right, negatives to my left, and abstentions in the middle. Things were rather lopsided in favor of the negatives – it seemed there weren't many who could agree with both parts of the resolution, namely that the Yale Man had indeed died and the Yale Woman had been responsible. The final vote: three in the affirmative, twelve in the negative, and one abstention. The resolution clearly failed.
Following the decision, the traditional motion to adjourn to Yorkside was made, seconded, and passed. We nevertheless remained in the room chatting for about half-an-hour before moving out.
There were seven of us left at Yorkside. The subject of the debate was still worth discussion; we continued to kick around various points over milkshakes. There were two ladies with us, one a Tory and the other a sometime chairman of the party of the right. I believe it was the latter who pointed out, as it seemed half jokingly, that if we were indeed gentlemen we would be taking the check. For some reason the idea had never popped up before in this circumstance – usually at Yorkside everyone simply pays for what he himself has. Nevertheless I was eager to rectify this careless oversight, and suggested that we start taking the ladies' tabs, not only at Yorkside but at our Mory's lunches as well. There seemed to be a majority in favor of this, and while we didn't formalize the agreement, we made sure both that night and at our Friday lunch that there was no financial burden on the ladies who honored us with their company. I hope that this will become a continuing tradition so that we can truly be a party of ladies and gentlemen.
* I planted the last phrase knowing that someone would later ask me if I were opposed to women being at Yale, or college in general (which of course I am not). It is in this manner that I expect many Tories try to limit questions to those for which they already have answers.

The New Frontier of High Density Data Centers
As competition increases and margins become razor thin, it's critical to minimize the physical (and, therefore, energy) footprint of data centers. After all, as data center size increases, real estate costs—especially in high-value areas such as Hong Kong and New York—go up as well as related expenditures. For example, roughly one third of data center power usage goes to operate equipment while half goes to cool that equipment. Read More

Reducing Risk When Hiring Vendors and Contractors
Vol. 15 No. 5
Summer is rapidly approaching, which usually offers a slightly slower pace around campus. With students enjoying their summer break, most schools take advantage of the opportunity to renovate, expand facilities, and make changes to the campus that during the school year would be more difficult to schedule. Renovations usually entail the use of vendors and contractors—exposing your school to risks associated with contractual workers.
This is a good time to review the basics of working with vendors and contractors, even if your campus is already hosting a construction crew. If you've missed a few steps while hiring them, there's no rule that says you can't backtrack and request documentation now.
Which leads us to the golden rule of working with vendors and contractors: All vendors and contractors must provide evidence of good risk management and insurance before they arrive to start work. "Good risk management" evidence simply means documentation of their policies, mission, and standard practices. You should have written documentation of their safety standards, their policies for workplace safety, and references. And, let's not forget—inform your attorney of all contracts. Your legal counsel must review all provided documentation for legal wording and accuracy.
What to Look For in the Vendor-Provided Insurance Documentation
A "certificate of insurance" provides the proper evidence of insurance. The certificate of insurance should contain coverage for the work activities and provided services.
All certificates of insurance should show coverage for "General Liability," with limits not less than $1,000,000. If the vendor or contractor has employees, the certificate of insurance should include "Workers Compensation" with employer's liability limits of not less than $1,000,000. If vehicles are involved, "Automobile Insurance" with limits of not less than $1,000,000 should be included in the certificate of insurance. If professional services are provided, require "Professional Liability" insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000.
All certificates of insurance should also state that the vendor's or contractor's insurance names your school as an "Additional Insured." All vendors and contractors should uphold and coordinate safety procedures as required by law, standards of care, and common sense. Have your lawyer review all provided insurance documentation to make sure the insurance meets state law standards.
Additional Documentation: Contracts, Safety Records, and Loopholes
In addition to proof of insurance, have in hand a formal contract that describes the work (or services) to be performed, and delineates the contractor's responsibilities, schedule, compensation, and a method to resolve disputes. This contract should state they are independent contractors, they have proper insurance, they will agree to safety procedures, and they are responsible for their work and workers.
The contracts should contain wording that states the vendor or contractor will "Hold Harmless," "Indemnify," and "Waive Subrogation" for any of their actions and/or responsibilities. Provide recommendations, legal wording, and appropriate procedures.
ISM's Business and Operations Academy provides an ideal opportunity to elevate your skills while interacting with ISM Consultants and your peers from other schools. The conference is designed for CFO, Business Managers, Operations Managers, and School Heads with three years experience (some exceptions are made—contact for more information). This year, the Business and Operations Academy will run October 22–25 in St. Louis, MO. If interested, be sure to register before the event fills!

Every PC user should develop a backup policy—a defined method of backing up data regularly. The policy you develop depends on different factors. As you learned earlier in this chapter, you can choose from three different primary backup types: full, differential, and incremental. The decision to be made here is whether to use only full backups every time, or perform incremental or differential backups between full backups.
Deciding on which backups to perform can depend on many factors, such as the amount of data to be backed up, backup capacity and speed, and time constraints. If you have 2GB of data to back up, for example, and your tape drive can back up only 500MB per hour, the full backup will require four hours. But consider what you would do if you had only three hours to perform a backup during the week and six hours on the weekend. Obviously, in this case, you could not perform a full backup every night.

The progressive-led Supreme Court is letting the progressive-dominated Federal Appeals Courts quietly rewrite the nation's laws and civic rules, and also sideline elected legislators, voters, and the nation's traditions, customs and laws, says Daniel Horowitz, editor of Conservative Review.
It is my hope that the coming judicial onslaught — from destroying state sovereignty and religious liberty laws to mandating rights for illegal aliens and codifying transgenderism — will serve as the inspiration for conservatives to finally restore the proper balance of power between Congress, the states, and the federal judiciary. Concurrently, with control of 33 state legislative chambers, hopefully this is the year when we finally gain critical momentum in the push for an Article V Convention of the States to reform the judiciary and the entire broken political structure from outside Washington, D.C.
To that end, I give you a partial year in review from our archives to look back at some of the craziest court decisions of the year:
4. Court nullifies North Carolina elections and calls for new off-year elections After originally "striking down" North Carolina's state elections maps — an area of law over which states fully control — a federal district court mandated new state legislative elections to be held in 2017, in contravention to the state's constitution. Together with many other rulings this year throughout the country, federal courts have crowned themselves king over state elections. They have effectively empowered themselves to create new election maps and even new elections, invariably benefiting Democrats…

Avalar is more of an administrative centre than an industrial hub. Avalar has only a tech-level of 12, when the highest tech-level in the Avalar Consulate is 13. High tech items are imported from other high tech industrial worlds in the Avalar Consulate, like Tewupo in Piah subsector and Titan in Titan subsector.
Six Worlds in this subsector are part of the Avalar Main. A jump-1 route connecting 13 worlds. These worlds are Daphne, Avalar, Milne, Bebeto, Olga and Caliente.
One world (Wright) in the subsector is part of the Mnemosyne Principality. To go there you need a jump-4 ship starting from Elloni. This is not the usual way into the Mnemosyne Principality, and this route is not so well protected. The usual way is through the Denanus system that has an Avalar naval-base. Two worlds (Ninang and Detansa) are barren unclaimed (and sometimes disputed) worlds. The rest of the worlds in this subsector are part of the Avalar Consulate.
Harem subector is so called because the Solomani explorers first coming here named the systems after their loved ones. Some worlds still have personal names, but most of the worlds have now changed their old names.
The total population of Harem subsector is 17 billion, (9 billion at Avalar) and the highest tech-level is 12 at Avalar, Milne and Olga.

The Las Vegas-based company expects gross proceeds of $75 million to $175 million over the next 12 to 24 months from the sale of certain stations that it was required to divest due to its acquisition of ABC Radio.

Being As Efficient As Possible With Houston Search Engine Optimization
Posted on December 30, 2017 in Internet, SEO, Technology
People get to be the most efficient when the most amount of results are got with the least of exertions done. This is particularly significant when something as subjective as Houston search engine optimization is considered in use. Take any two SEO consultants and it would soon be evident to the stress that each person provides to the various aspects to the work and it is often that the better use of any given facility is what sets apart a given service at any time. Thus there could never be 'the' way as such.
Key points that bring out the best in Houston search engine optimization efforts
Placement of matter: With the best of SEO practices it is important to place the matter at the right place and not just anywhere as found to be suited. This calls for better understanding of the very fundamentals of the work and in most cases it can be done to good effect with only the most detailed understanding of the work and not just a precursory knowledge. The more experienced and effective consultants make this aspect to SEO their hallmark in any work that they undertake.
Connecting with the audience: Not all people can convey some message with the same effect each time, even if the matter to be conveyed still remains the same. This is where the occasion comes to play in providing the right platform to the matter to be expressed. The best of communicators would know at first instance if it would be just the right time to introduce a particular topic and to give the right stress as well. In many ways this essentially sets apart one set of Houston web design consultants from another.
Use of images: The websites have evolved from the static pages that were in use in the very early days of the World Wide Web to the very interactive presentations that are in use today. Here the role of effective facebook ads, both moving as well as the still, makes the difference to the amount of information that can be conveyed at each time. It would go a long way in bringing in more visitors and hence increase the rankings on the search engines over a period of time. The best of webmasters stress the need to be relevant in presentation of matter as well as the technique used.
Getting the combinations right: Most instances, each website is in many ways a rehash of old matter that is presented in a different light each time. It could be that some points seek a higher prominence at a particular time than others and some aspects could take a back stage. Thus this brings out the need to get the combinations just right from the very first instance. Once people get to see that a particular site does provide the most up to date bits of information as well as in a manner that is well presented, they are sure to keep visiting it well into the future when more information needs to be had.

Are you part of the nearly 24 million Americans who help care for a parent? The role of a parent caregiver can feel like a web of decisions that all tie together, from financial decision-making to medical care to where is the best place for mom or dad to call home.
As decisions are made, the web may feel like it's growing as your parent feels vulnerable and you feel guilt. You are asking your parent to form new acquaintances, trust new professionals, navigate new schedules and acclimate to new environments. On the other hand, you have been thrust into the primary decision-making role and are hoping you are making the best possible decisions for your loved one.
There are many factors that go into feeling guilty, from feeling inadequate to feeling overly responsible. One way to address the situation is to anticipate it and deal with it.
Visit retirement communities with your parent early so he or she is in the loop, and everyone is on the same page when the time arrives.
Stop second-guessing decisions. Even with a plan in place, an unexpected medical condition can alter a plan. Having proper health insurance and financial preparation in place ahead of time can help with decision-making in this situation.
Tips to Move Past Guilt
- Stop feeling as if you are abandoning your parent. Your parent always will be your parent, and you will visit them often, along with friends and other family members. If able, they will go on outings and other events and still come to your home for family gatherings.
- Focus on taking care of the caregiver -- you. If you do not take care of your exhaustion, stress and guilt, you will not be able to care for anyone. It is "parenting 101," and definitely applies when caring for your own parent. Eat well and sleep well. Talk with friends about your parent, but talk about other things as well. This decision is a part of your life, but does not define you.
- Realize there are lots of great memories to make yet with your parent. Embrace a positive look on the future and relay this into your visits. Plan for visits to be unique and focused on quality time with your parent so you can create new memories and share new laughs.
- Understand you are not alone.There are many people going through this same situation who also have feelings of guilt. Reach out to the professionals and support groups at your parent's retirement community. They are there to help you.

H.R. 1852: Expanding American Homeownership Act of 2007
September 18, 2007
On Tuesday September 18th the House considered H.R. 1852: Expanding American Homeownership Act of 2007. This legislation makes it easier to obtain a mortgage from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and will help ease the difficulties that some homeowners in the sub-prime mortgage market are experiencing.
The FHA was established in order to provide affordable mortgage loans for first-time home buyers. H.R. 1852 increases the FHA loan limit so that families in high cost housing areas, like Boston, have access to an FHA loan. Such loans are not available in many higher-cost areas of the country because the average cost of a home is too high. As a result, some are forced to turn to the sub-prime market and higher interest loans in order to purchase a home.
This legislation lowers the down payment requirement for those who can afford to pay a monthly mortgage, but do not have enough for a down payment. In certain circumstances, no down payment will be required. This legislation increases funding for housing counseling loan programs and authorizes that up to $300 million a year in new FHA surpluses be directed to an affordable housing fund, instead of getting sent back to the General Treasury. H.R. 1852 also directs the FHA to provide mortgages to qualified, higher risk borrowers without charging them excessive fees.
I voted YES. H.R. 1852 passed in the House with strong bipartisan support.

The Journey of Art
Dear FrameStore Friend,
Art World News:
Our Brentwood store has been busy framing some amazing silent auction donations contributed by artists and architects to raise funds to sustain the ongoing exhibitions and programs at the A+D Museum.
MOCA Presents: Retrospective of Swiss Artist Urs Fischer
Public opening: Sunday, April 21, 3pm-6pm
In 2013, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) will present the first comprehensive museum retrospective of works by the internationally acclaimed Swiss-born artist Urs Fischer. Fischer is one of today's most important contemporary artists, who is known for using a range of media to express the transience of art and, concomitantly, the human condition.
Read the full article at our blog:
Santa Monica Museum of Art:
Joyce Pensato:
I Killed Kenny
New York born artist Joyce Pensato's subjects are easily recognizable to anyone acquainted with pop culture cartoons, but the style and presentation take the familiar figures to new and sometimes vaguely menacing and disturbing places.
The exhibition that will be opening in June at the Santa Monica Museum of Art, I killed Kenny, will feature many of Pensato's charcoal works created over the decades since the 1990s, but will also feature many new contextual works drawn directly on the walls of the museum exhibition hall. Accompanied by sculpture, toys, and found items, these new site-specific works in enamel and charcoal will remain until August 17th.
I Killed Kenny evokes the classic South Park cartoon and it's sarcastic, irreverent and iconic wit. Pensato's own wit is visible throughout her abstract impressionistic works as she transforms and explorers some of the 20th century's most iconic characters. Be sure not to miss this exhibit, when it comes to Santa Monica!
Takashi Murakami:
Stefan Sagmeister:
The Happy Show
Austrian graphic designer, Stefan Sagmeister spent ten years exploring the nature of happiness while attempting to increase and understand his own happiness through a combined cocktail of mind-altering drugs, meditation and cognitive therapy. The result is the intriguing and transgressive exhibit The Happy Hour, now on display at MOCA for the first time after recent showings in Pennsylvania and Toronto.
The installation uses a combination of film, sculpture, print and info-graphics, along with interactive exhibits to take the visitor on a stream of consciousness journey through the artist's mind as happiness is explored in all it's glorious and sometimes unsettling forms.
Don't miss the chance to see this tantalizing display of an inner world turned outward for all to see. It will be showing at MOCA in downtown LA through June 9th.
