She's been training eight hours a day for weeks and has watched Black Swan plenty of times, but Lara Bingle believes any toe tapping mastery that comes with her Dancing With The Stars debut on Sunday will be a fluke.
Catching up with good mate Teresa Palmer at Kym Ellery's much-hyped fashion show yesterday, she said she was struggling to get the moves to her first dance down pat.
"It's been hard, much harder than I thought it would be," she said.
"All I've been doing is training - the schedule is crazy.
"Whenever I get a move down it's been a fluke and I haven't been able to do it again."
With a stint on Dancing On Ice and childhood dance lessons under her belt, more viewers than normal are sure to tune in for the season premiere to see if Bingle will bungle.
"I'm quite nervous," she said.

The United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that 47people have died in an outbreak of the plague in Madagascar on Wednesday.
WHO warns of the disease's potential to rapidly spread. The disease is carried by rats and other rodents. The first case was reported on Aug. 31, and the individual later died from the disease on Sept. 3. The nation's Health Ministry announced the outbreak Nov. 4, and cases have been reported in 16 regions on the island.
According to the WHO, the country's high population density exacerbates the speed of infection, and the weakness of the health system may lead to a more severe situation.
The Red Cross, the Commune urbaine d' Antanarivo and the Pasteur Insttitute of Madagascar are partnering with the WHO to address the growing crisis.
The bubonic plague is successfully treatable with antibiotics if diagnosed in its early stages. Pneumonic plague is far deadlier, often killing within 24 hours of infection without antibiotics. It is a greater risk since it can be passed from person to person, unlike its bubonic form.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists the plague bacteria Yersinia pestis as a potential microorganism of bioterrorism. Its symptoms include fever, weakness, pneumonia that is categorized with chest pains and shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting.

Research posters are a common way to show the results of your research to the academic community. Researchers present posters at conferences to communicate their work in a summarized form to a broader audience.
The research poster must be clear, concise and attractive in order to generate discussion and feedback from colleagues. However, it is not easy to achieve those goals in a pleasing layout. Here are some tips to help you design effective research posters that stand out.

Part 2: Montessori for infants (6-12 Months)
This is the Part 2 of our multi-part series on Montessori From Birth.
Children aged 6-12 months have begun to move around more and develop strength throughout their body. They have begun to develop more coordinated movement of their hands. Your 6-12 month old has more control of their movements from their head to their toes and are consistently improving those skills and building those muscles. With the opportunity you have given them to move freely up to this point, their brain has certainly had plenty of opportunity to expand as well. Maria Montessori believed that movement enhances learning, mentioning that work is inseparable from movement. And since the child's work is to learn, we must incorporate purposeful movement into his learning.
The same mat that we suggested you place in the center of the family room for the child to observe the happenings around them in Part 1 of this series (from @gathre) will still be an important tool for your 6-12 month old. Allowing your child that special time on the mat to move freely and develop their muscles through tummy time will surely leave you amazed at just how capable your little one is at achieving things on their own. Children are naturally determined and driven and that is fun to observe during these months. While playing with the toys we have introduced in the first six months, the child learns on their own how to manipulate them even more. While playing with a wooden toy car or an easy to grab ball, for example, the child may push the toy away from them. This will send the toy rolling out of their reach requiring the child to problem solve and figure out a way to move their body closer to the toy. This motivation is the very beginning of crawling.

We are not fans of being strict with your child on developmental milestones. It breaks our hearts when parents stress over their child being "a month behind on walking" (or whatever the milestone may be). It is not tough on the child, but rather weighs heavily on the parent. Granted, it is good to keep the average age in mind to make sure your child is on track developmentally, but it is so important to remember that each child is an INDIVIDUAL. No two are the same. They will all develop on their own terms and at their own pace so rest easy and take the milestones as a guide and nothing more.
With that said, many children are beginning to scoot and pull themselves up around 8 months. I can't stress enough how much allowing a child to move freely will quickly increase their abilities. You'll be amazed. Adding a small mirror (this mirror is especially made for infants) nearby will allow the child to watch themselves and use their reflection to learn more about their bodies and movement. As your child begins to move around more, be sure to provide a safe environment for them to explore. Be aware of items that can be pulled down, topple over, small objects that can be a choking hazard, etc. It is much better to childproof your home than to confine your child to one small space (like a play pen).

This brings me to my next point - the child's sleeping arrangement. When a child is confined to a crib or playpen, they may become upset with the fact that they are unable to move around freely - thus, crying to be let out. If you provide a "floor bed" for a child, it will give them the freedom to explore their safe environment freely when they wake. What works well is a simple mattress on the floor outfitted with a fitted sheet. We started our daughter off with this arrangement at 6 months of age and she absolutely thrived. Place your child's toys in small baskets and on low shelves. The idea is that everything is within their reach. Make sure "everything has a place" and order is evident so that the child knows where certain items belong and where to find them. For extremely young children, the idea of a floor bed may seem to be a hazard because of the opportunity the child has to roll off the mattress and onto the floor. To ease your mind, you can place pool noodles under their fitted sheet to provide the barrier they need.
Your child is now at an age where they are realizing that they can make things happen! These toys will encourage your child to learn about cause and effect and inspire other learning through play as well.
A heavier weighted wagon is a wonderful toy for a young child because they will be able to use it to pull up on and later transport their toys around. Make sure the wagon has some heft to it so it doesn't run off while the child is trying to pull up onto it. We have this one (pictured below), and she still plays with it 2.5 years later.
Balls are a wonderful toy for a young child. Children adore balls of all sizes and textures. You can even offer a basket of balls to your child. Eventually, a great game for a child 6-12 months of age to play with the balls is to move them from the basket into each compartment of a muffin tin.
Children learn so much through their sensory experience. Offering a basket full of different textured fabrics is a fun way to encourage learning and growth. Textured fabrics can be used in more activities later down the road. We will discuss that in subsequent parts of this series. For now, offer a handful of different textured fabrics for your young one to explore. They'll be happy you did.
Wooden blocks are wonderful, especially if they are different sizes and shapes. They allow you to introduce more vocabulary to your child like bigger and smaller, cube and triangular pyramid, or top and bottom.
A shape sorter is wonderful for helping your child make connections between words and concepts by talking about colors and shapes: "That's the big yellow cube."
Babies love cause and effect and musical instruments such as xylophone, drums and maracas are the perfect toy that creates a sound or experience. With just a simple action of moving their hand, the child has success. We like these musical eggs.
Keys are wonderful for children. They adore the different sounds and textures. We recommend purchasing a few blank keys so your child has her own special key ring, that will stay a lot cleaner. This is a wonderful way to introduce early role play as well.
To foster awareness of cause-and-effect relationships, let your child turn a light switch or a faucet on and off and see how her actions make things happen.
We also like to avoid baby swings, jumpers and seats for your child. Overall, they seem encourage the child to passively observe the environment around them rather than actively explore it.
Weaning and Food Introduction
Many children begin to discover foods other than milk around 6 months of age. Though, as previously stated, this is only a ballpark age and can vary greatly. It is encouraged that you observe your child to see when they begin to show interest in trying other foods. This usually begins with your child watching you eat with great interest in his or her eyes. With mealtimes, it is important to establish a consistent area with which you and your child will eat. This will allow the child to associate the area with meal time. Young children tend to eat more often and thus might have different meal times than the ones traditionally held by the family. This is okay but it is important to still include your child in the family meal time also. Rather than confining him or her to their own area or "child's table", use a high chair to pull up to the family table (or one of these that hooks right up. Our 3 year still sits in hers by request) your child can enjoy meal time with the family. When transitioning into shared meals with your child, be sure to leave plenty of time to allow your child to enjoy and explore their food. This will allow for a much more enjoyable mealtime experience.
At 6-12 months old, your child is likely learning to talk back and experiment with the sounds that they are able to vocalize. Remember, As your child plays, talk to him about what you see and hear. He'll enjoy the sound of your voice, and you'll be helping develop his speech as well. We can't stress enough how important it is to communicate with your child. Describe everything that you're doing, "Oh, that sound was the doorbell. Let's get up and see who has come to visit!". Talking in a high pitched voice is unnecessary when communicating with your child. They will much more appreciate you speak to them in a well-articulated tone as you would anyone else. The child will learn from how we speak to him, so speaking properly is paramount. When reading a book, walking through the grocery store or driving down the road, you have so many opportunities to help your child associate certain items with the name associated with them. Teach your child that everything has a name by taking the time to stop and point to certain objects and name them.
That's it. This age is easy and incredibly fun. Be conscious with your actions and words and know that little sponge of a child is soaking everything up.
Thanks for reading!

To Jimmy Fallon, it was just an innocent late night television moment. To his detractors on the internet, it was a handshake with the devil. We're talking about then-candidate Donald Trump getting his hair messed up by the Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon back in September of 2016, election year. Now all these months later, Jimmy Fallon is finally talking about it too.
Jimmy Fallon talked to the New York Times' David Itskoff about that possibly career changing moment among other things in a recent interview. Fallon playfully tussling Trump's hair and pretending to see if it's real caused a stir online of people criticizing the late night host so much that he says he quit going online. "I go, I just can't read Twitter," Fallon said. "Then I can't read the news. I can't read the internet."
The Tonight Show host has claimed many times that he just wants to have fun on his show and make it fun for both his guests and his audience and he never seeks out controversy. He told the Times that any online criticism just crushes him, "I'm a people pleaser," he said. "If there's one bad thing on Twitter about me, it will make me upset. So, after this happened, I was devastated. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just trying to have fun."
After months of silence about the Trump criticism, Fallon talked about what he was thinking when he messed up the future President's hair. "I didn't do it to humanize him," adding, "I almost did it to minimize him. I didn't think that would be a compliment: 'He did the thing that we all wanted to do.'"
Fallon claims that perhaps his biggest mistake was not addressing the messy-haired elephant in the room. "I didn't talk about it, and I should have talked about it," he said. "I regret that." He thinks he may have missed that opportunity to discuss it even now, saying,"I feel like it's sailed," he said. "I haven't talked about it at all."
Although it seemed like just a fun moment to Fallon, it may have been the catalyst that led to the current run by the Late Show with Stephen Colbert which is beating the Tonight Show now in certain demographics and gaining in others. These are numbers that Jimmy Fallon claims he pays no attention to, saying, "I never, ever care. I'll know when someone fires me."
As much as the online beat down over Trump's hair took out of Fallon and "devastated" him, he has no intention of changing his comedy or the way he does his show. Fallon says, "I don't want to be bullied into not being me, and not doing what I think is funny. Just because some people bash me on Twitter, it's not going to change my humor or my show," adding "It's not 'The Jimmy Fallon Show.' It's 'The Tonight Show.'"
It's hard to imagine that the man sitting in the most powerful chair in late night can feel like anyone watching his show can bully him. In fact, it seems kind of babyish for Fallon to even suggest it. But for those who thought their cries of foul at his coziness with Trump went unnoticed, they must take some solace in knowing that Jimmy Fallon does pay attention to his trolls.

|Defense Grant for Traumatic Brain Injury Pain Study
Lpath, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTN), the industry leader in bioactive lipid-targeted therapeutics, has been awarded a $1.45 million two-year grant by the Defense Medical Research and Development Program (DMRDP), an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). This grant will support the study of Lpathomab for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Lpath is working with Professor David Yeomans, Ph.D. of Stanford University's Department of Anesthesia on this project and he will serve as co-principal investigator.
This DoD grant will fund preclinical studies designed to evaluate the ability of Lpathomab to alleviate pain following neurotrauma, and to confirm the potential efficacy of Lpathomab as previously demonstrated by Stanford University researchers in an animal model of TBI pain.
Roger Sabbadini, Ph.D., Lpath's founder and co-principal investigator on the TBI project, commented, "Lpath is grateful to the DoD for recognizing the significant value of funding further development of Lpathomab. We believe our novel approach of targeting bioactive lipids holds great promise, and this is validated by the financial commitment from the DoD's DMRDP."
Lpath has recently completed a Phase 1a double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Lpathomab in healthy volunteers. Lpathomab was tolerated at all doses tested, and no serious adverse events or dose limiting toxicities were observed.
Dario Paggiarino, M.D., Lpath's senior vice president and chief development officer commented, "Now that Lpath has successfully demonstrated safety and tolerability of Lpathomab in healthy volunteers, we anticipate testing Lpathomab in patients with neuropathic pain. The preclinical demonstration of Lpathomab's potential efficacy in TBI pain could support another important indication for further investigation."

Search experience optimization is a concept that has been gaining steam in over the past year or two. I love the rebranding of SEO (and dislike calling it SXO) because I think it more accurately describes what the SEO practitioner must focus on - the searcher's experience. It's been a long time since an SEO had as an ultimate goal the achievement of rankings and visits from those rankings, though some still don't know it.
Search experience optimization also happens to imply the multi-disciplinary nature of SEO, meaning that it incorporates the functions you would traditionally think of when the word "experience" is in play - design, usability, user research, information architecture, copy writing, and AB or multivariate testing.
That sounds complex. "I thought content was king," some may say. Isn't it that simple? Unfortunately it's not. Content is fundamental and it can go a long way toward your success, but that content has to be really amazing, truly unique or comprehensive for people to overcome suboptimal experiences in order to interact with it. There are often many choices for similar content, people's tasks are broken up into multiple sessions on multiple devices and attention spans are more fractured than ever reducing tolerance for poor experiences. This is why efforts like the Amp Project are so important.
One of the older and well-written articles naming search experience optimization is by Ben Potter on the Econsultancy blog. In the article Potter makes a great point to keep top of mind: the competition is just a click away, so there is very little cost to the consumer to try another option. Potter also poses a question that's worth thinking more about: "How will this approach or activity deliver a memorable & superior experience for my customers?"
The key piece of that question is his choice of the word "memorable". Imagine someone's visiting you for the first time from search and they manage to complete their task, which looks like a conversion to you. That was a win on both sides, right? Maybe, for the moment. But if you're in a business in which that consumer may have need of your service or product catalog again, you want them to choose you to fulfill their subsequent needs.
Ultimately you'd love a direct visit. Almost as good would be if that consumer searched for your brand name in a search engine. Next best would be if that consumer searched for a product or service you offer and chose your result even if you weren't in the first position.
While we can't know exactly how a search engine would weight those signals, they should all be positive since they indicate a preference for you over competing options. These sorts of behaviors would be desirable even if you were running an offline-only business (the parallels being visiting your stand-alone location, visiting your location in a mall, or choosing your product from among others at a general retailer).
That behavior sounds like customer loyalty, right? None of those things are likely to happen if you didn't provide a memorable experience for that searcher the first time. That first visit gave you the opportunity to establish an ongoing relationship with that searcher. It's up to you to make the most of that opportunity.
Here is some further reading both practical and thoughtful in nature pertaining to search experience optimization. But for possibly the best manifesto on being customer-focused, read the 1997 Amazon shareholder letter.

Changes Proposed to Shared Parental Leave and Pay
The Federation of Small Businesses and the Daily Telegraph report that the UK government plans to extend by 2018 the current scheme of shared parental leave and pay to include working grandparents.
These proposals mean not only that working grandparents could be allowed to make use of shared parental leave and pay entitlements to help care for their grandchildren but also that parents will have greater choice on childcare options, which could -in turn- affect those providing professional childcare services, such as nannies.
In the past 10 years the role of the nanny has changed significantly: many nannies now work for two families on separate days to make up a full week. The recent and increasing trend to advertise and offer only part-time positions is driven by a number of factors including improved and more flexible nursery care provision, greater parental access to part-time work and parents seeking the help of family or friends.
Such flexible childcare arrangements can, if consistent, provide children with a good experience. Grandparents tend to provide maternal-type care based on their experience of parenting: but grandparents tend to raise their grand-children in their own home so that the child is isolated from peer social groups. A nanny, on the other hand, may not come with that parenting experience but offers a professional perspective and expertise, using learned knowledge that invariably focuses on childcare requirements and the importance of providing set routines to encourage developmental needs. Moreover, nannies often socialise with other nannies and their charges, so encouraging the children in their care to develop friendships long before attending a school. It is not hard to appreciate how a combination of care from grandparents and a nanny (e.g. the nanny works two full-days and grandparents cover the remainder of the week) may actually offer a child the best of both worlds.
Quite how the government's new proposals will facilitate or encourage these shared childcare arrangements remains to be seen …as will the impact on the profession. We'll be watching this space with keen interest.

The Silca Premio Seat Bag is a neat little number for storing ride essentials - if you opt for the loaded version, it comes preloaded with Silca's Tredici multitool and EOLO CO2 inflator - nice! The Tredici multitool (otherwise known as the Italian Army Knife) weighs a modest 105g but packs in 13 stainless steel chrome plated bits including hex keys, screwdrivers, torx keys and a disc pad spreader, finished in signature Silca red and made with Silca's usual attention to detail.
The EOLO CO2 inflator is made from 6063 series aluminum and stainless steel and has a hardened tool steel puncture pin to ensure smooth operation and durability. The EOLO is easy to use, with a 'camera lens' style valve head for easy installation even on disc wheels, a light spring action which makes it easy to regulate the flow of gas into the tyre, and insulation rings to enhance grip and insulate from the cold.
Premio means 'prize' in Italian, and the seat bag is just that - this is sure to become a prized possession for any rider lucky enough to own it. As expected, the bag has been given the full Silca treatment, which in this case means a completely new closure/fixing system (the Premio uses a Boa Wire System which is more commonly used for high end road cycling shoes), custom Silca waxed cotton construction (this makes the bag both waterproof and reflective) and great internal organisation, with three large pockets ideal for tube, CO2 cartridges and regulator and a multitool.

Something a little different, I need some feedback from all of you and you friends, family, etc!
I am in a Cultural Heritage Management class and our final project is to come up with a plan to regenerate an area of Rome. These final plans will then be presented in front of ICCROM at their headquarters and have a potential for being picked up as a real project. For those of you who do not know who ICCROM is, they are an organization which works to conserve cultural heritage, they are one of the more successful organization working with UNESCO. You can check out more of what they do here: http://www.iccrom.org/
All of us already have a plan in mind, however it would be great to hear from people planning on visiting, who might have experienced or will experience the city differently from us. The point it to bring in more tourism to this area, so an idea of outsiders interests would be wonderful!
Here are the areas and idea's for plans(apologies for lack of quality photos this area was difficult.):
1. An Airplane Hanger from the 1930's. It was a personal gift from Hitler to Mussolini and held many of the small planes of WWII. It is empty and abandoned now, on one side is a car park for Roman police vehicles. Ideas that have been proposed for this area are mainly exhibition spaces, another museum similar to Montemartini, or maybe a gathering spot/restaurant with planes of the era to set a theme.
2. Pontifical Arsenal of the Baroque Period. This is set along the river, but with trees and overgrown areas blocking the view. It is an open space but has potential to be enclosed. It has two gates for Entry. This used to hold boats, when they were being repaired on Rome's river Port. Post WWII it was the area where one could find stolen bicycles, made famous in the film Ladri di Bicicletta. This street is used as a market on Sunday, however the building is closed off. I plan to present this with a long-term and short-term plan. Short term: put up walls, and turn it into a large warehouse coffeehouse, with Italian style bar, and music playing every few nights. Use this to raise money for the long-term plan. The long-term plan would be to cut the surrounding trees to open the view, add a second floor, have the ground floor as a bar and restaurant with the upstairs an exhibition space.
3. Roman Emporium, unfortunately I do not have pictures of this as it is under scaffolding. It it is a few ruined arches alongside the river, it can only be used in Summer as it is along the river and the river often floods. It needs constant cleaning, has a few ceilings and is very important to the Roman history of this area. We are lost on plans for this except the possibility to integrate it into a summer bar as it is beside two night life areas.
4. The GIL, a youth fascist building. Presently this is a great example of architecture of the Fascist period, done by Luigi Moretti, a famous architect of the time. Walls have been added inside to separate the part of the building owned by Commune di Roma and Regione Lazio. Roma's side is a gym and pool, complete with soccer fields outside. Lazios side is an exhibition space for presently photography, then there are many open rooms available for use, including a movie theater. The plans presented for this were to open the surrounding area to better accentuate the architecture, then possibly an outdoor bar, and make it a community building, connecting the two sides.
So please tell us if you would be interested in any of these ideas! And if you have other ideas that would more likely bring you to this area please share them! We are trying to come up with a reachable plan that will bring tourists to the great historic area of Rome.

With Alonso missing the race to compete in the Indianapolis 500, speculation has turned to who will be drafted in - with Button, still under contract with McLaren, the obvious candidate.
The Briton is a previous winner on the streets of Monte Carlo, something only four drivers on the current grid - Alonso, Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen - can lay claim to.
"I hope Jenson comes back, I think it would be great for the sport to have Jenson back in," said Hamilton, who raced alongside Button at McLaren from 2010-12.
Asked to elaborate, Hamilton added: "Because I like Jenson, I still think he is one of the best drivers... his calibre is still higher than any other driver who could take that spot, for sure. His calibre and experience."
Alonso's team mate Stoffel Vandoorne - who beat Button to a 2017 seat at McLaren - said he is also in the dark as to who he will be racing alongside in the Principality.
"I'm sure the team have everything under control," he said. "I don't know yet who it will be - it's not in my hands in the end - but I'm sure the team will pick the right driver."

The mandarins of education and politics drone the mantra: To compete with the Japanese and the Europeans, our children should spend more time in school.
Recently, the National Education Commission on Time and Learning released "Prisoners of Time," a reportasserting that students in the United States get less than half the daily instruction in core academic subjects that Japanese, French and German students receive.
The commission found that U.S. children spend 5.6 hours a day in the classroom, but average only three hours a day of academic instruction.

The aim of the project is to develop a repository for strengths-based online learning materials accessible by a suite of teacher education courses in the Faculty of Education at Charles Sturt University to enhance the child protection preparation of students.
Current Status
Significant & Benefit
At least 30 course and subject staff, as well as Professional Experience Unit staff would all benefit initially from the project providing readily accessible and updated information on child protection. The project could potentially extend to reach over 3000 students who study specific teacher education courses through the Faculty of Education
Through the initiative students will gain an integrated, extended and enhanced understanding of the skills required for child protection responsibilities as a teacher – as compared to brief training currently offered. Students will learn about, explore, and reflect on authentic, complex (often sensitive) child abuse issues in a guided online environment. Additionally, students will have ongoing access to the depository of multi-media community/curriculum resources and best-practice strategies for child protection. Preparation will be explicitly linked to student's Professional Experience subjects and implicitly accessible and integrated throughout the life of their course – demonstrating an ongoing commitment to students in this crucial element of teacher preparation.
Through this project Course Directors, Subject Coordinators and Professional Experience Unit staff will have ongoing access to consistent, up to date child protection materials. Staff can be assured that materials that have been specifically designed by experts in the field for teacher preparation. The depository will be in the form of an Interact2 site and easily accessible for staff. The format will be inherently compatible with current CSU course and subject design (thus requiring few change management strategies). Staff will be able to access reliable resources across courses and campuses rather than individually sourcing child protection information each time a session is required.
Project Team
Dr Angela Fenton
Kathryn Dalton
To develop and evaluate an innovative CSU strengths-based child protection online resource and training depository, in the form of a purposed Interact2 site.
Key Deliverables:
- An Interact2 site: Child Protection: A Strengths Approach is developed
- Strengths-based online/interactive child protection and mandatory reporting training resources are developed and accessible to a pilot teacher education course/subject at CSU via the I2 site.
- An Interim Report: Evaluation of pilot group/site is completed
- Based on evaluation – materials are revised and final I2 site is released for use by all students studying teacher education courses at CSU from 201630.
- A Final Evaluation Report is submitted.

My goodness, what a weekend! What a dull weekend! I suppose I could get all pedantic and say that it was the most boring weekend of the year, due to this being the first and only weekend of the year. On the other hand, I could equally well say that it was the most exciting weekend of the year. But I have decided that I am feeling generous and so shall spare you the geek "humor".
I have further decided that I should "get out more" which I could have easily done Wednesday, possibly Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, if I'd have had a specific destination to to get to. Sure, I could have just gone "out" and wandered aimlessly hither and thither, but that seemed sure to be a pointless excursion.
Maybe that should be my resolution. Not a New Year's Resolution, of course, as that would be a sure way to ensure that it never happens. Just a general resolution that happens to have been made at the beginning of the year. We'll see.

Jenny has probably become the first MP to launch her own series of podcasts through which anyone can hear her chat to constituents about the issues that concern them.
The introductory – and highly experimental -- episode of "At the Kitchen Table" is now available to download from iTunes.
In it, she and a Labour Party volunteer discuss her work and how she splits her week between Westminster and her Darlington home. She also touches on the cuts to services which have been forced on Darlington Council by the Government.
"It's a new way of getting across to constituents directly," said Jenny. "The first podcast is a bit of an experiment because we're new to this technology and didn't really know how to go about it. But we're learning and we'll get better.
"Many thanks to Billy Floyd and Catharine McLaren for their technical expertise in putting this together."

This cabin includes amenities such as a private hot tub, nearby hiking, an outdoor fire pit, a fireplace for winter visits, and Internet access. Plenty of TVs and cozy furniture inside make this cabin a great place to just chill out with your family.
Smoky Mountain Cabins for Adventurous Children: Cardinal View
Do you have active little ones who love to run and play (and often get a little loud)? The Cardinal View cabin is the perfect Smoky Mountain cabin to book for your getaway. There's a small creek that is great for little ones to go wading, and a fully-stocked fishing pond that you are free to enjoy. Plenty of level greenery just out the front door is ideal for running and playing to their heart's content. This cabin includes four bedrooms for a larger family, and offers amenities such as a fireplace for colder months and satellite TV.
Visit Nearby Attractions or Simply Get Away
The Smoky Mountains are a vast natural area covering parts of the Carolinas, Tennessee, and more. Each of these cabins is near local attractions, such as the Biltmore Estate, fine dining, plenty of shopping, amusement parks, and more. But if you just wanted to hunker down in your relaxing Smoky Mountain cabins getaway, we wouldn't blame you!

However, you are free to book your stay in the Cardinal View or the Carolina Peak for a long, relaxing trip away from "the real world". Select your dates on the cabin page to get the reservation started.

The Man In The High Castle (Review)
The universe is full of "what if" moments. It is part of the cornerstone of human nature to guess, assume and visualise what could have, would have, and will possibly happen. It's in our very DNA. We like to assume, and we like to see alternative ways in which things can play out. So it should come as no surprise that someone wrote a book, and someone made a TV series based around the idea that the NAZI's and the Empire of Japan won WW2. This is the amazing book and TV show "The Man In The High Castle". Right, so we'll start with a little background for this show. "The Man In The High Castle" was the brainchild of […]Read more

AUSTIN, Texas--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Pivot3, the hyperconverged infrastructure performance and technology leader, today announced that is has been recognized by Gartner, Inc. as a Challenger in the Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure.
"We're striving to provide a diverse portfolio and we're executing a vision that delivers innovative solutions to the most challenging enterprise environments. Our customers have learned that when they have a need for large-scale, high-performance HCI deployments, Pivot3 is the place to go."
The report states, "Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is a category of scale-out software-integrated infrastructure that applies a modular approach to compute, network and storage on standard hardware, leveraging distributed, horizontal building blocks under unified management." In total, 12 HCI vendors were evaluated based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. The report included both software-only vendors and those who provide fully-configured HCI appliances.
"We believe our position in the first-ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure clearly signifies our ability to compete in this market, and feel that is a testament to the dedication, responsiveness, services, and support our customers value. To us, it's quite an achievement to be recognized as a Challenger," said Ron Nash, CEO, Pivot3. "We're striving to provide a diverse portfolio and we're executing a vision that delivers innovative solutions to the most challenging enterprise environments. Our customers have learned that when they have a need for large-scale, high-performance HCI deployments, Pivot3 is the place to go."
During 2017, Pivot3 experienced 62-percent growth in sales, with new customers, expansion into use cases such as Internet of Things applications and smart cities, and significant growth among enterprise applications and mixed application workload environments. Much of this growth is attributed to the April 2017 launch of Acuity, the industry's only policy-based HCI platform with advanced Quality of Service and NVMe flash performance, broadened partnerships with Lenovo and other strategic partners, and continued penetration into streaming media and IoT use cases.
"In our view, it's exciting to be included in the Magic Quadrant based on our ability to execute and completeness of vision. We see our placement as a Challenger as a testament to our agility, innovation and responsiveness to the evolving needs of enterprise IT," said Nash. "With our proven technology for mixed workload support and policy-based management controls, customers know they can count on Pivot3 to continue to deliver industry-leading technology innovation in HCI, and high-performance solutions when and where they need them."

All That Glitters is not Gold – A New Landmark for Aldgate.
A ghostly recreation of the original Aldgate floating above the ground, the outlines of its elevation overlaid with text from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, which was supposedly written during Chaucer's residency in the flat above the gate.
The outlines of the elevation of the old Aldgate are etched onto clear polycarbonate panels that carry an applied film with a gold-tinted two- way mirrored effect – more reflective by day and more transparent at night. By day you will see reflections of the surrounding buildings-mirrored over the top of the original elevation and overlaid with the Chaucer text; by night you will see through the structure to the buildings beyond, the text now glowing from within.
A new micro-gallery above the arch of the gate as well as a viewing platform at the top of each tower. A place to sit and contemplate within the heart of the City, a place for art, a place for conversation, a place to stop, a place to read.

Several years ago while I was still working at Dreyer's, I was talking to a woman on the verge of retirement. We were discussing recycling and how in Oakland you can recycle practically anything. I lamented that in my town there was nowhere to recycle things like dry cleaning bags or bread bags. She said, every so helpfully, "Why don't you just throw them away?"
Recently I was working on a project with someone, and they said, "When we are done with this paper, we can just throw it away."
"Just throw it away". It's such a common phrase in our vernacular. It's like "How are you?" When was the last time you asked that question of someone and actually expected an answer besides "Okay" or "Good"? We answer that question without thinking about it. We say "I'll just throw it away" without thinking about what we are saying.
The thing about throwing something away is that there is no such thing as away. AWAY isn't nothing. AWAY isn't gone. AWAY doesn't mean it has disappeared. AWAY only means "away from me." It doesn't mean "away from we." What we discard still exists, just not in our line of sight. It is in a landfill, or an incinerator, or by the side of the freeway, or blowing in the wind, or in the Pacific Gyre (i.e. the Pacific Trash Vortex), now estimated at twice the size of the United States. How's that for a tasty thought?
Can I stop buying or using anything that doesn't go in the trash?
Could I do it for a week? Or even a day?
Would someone from a poor country think of what I am throwing away as still having value?
Has this "trash" served the longest, most productive, exhaustive life possible? Can I do something else with it?
We buy a new towel. We use it for a few years, drying ourselves off after a shower. It gets ratty. Ratty, yes, but is it done? How about we tear it into small pieces for dust rags, then even smaller to use in place of cotton balls? And then… when it's paper thin, and there is no conceivable purpose… rip 'em into tiny strips and put them in the back yard.
The birds will love it.
I want to start thinking about the ENTIRE life of a product – not just the percentage of it's life that it is with me. Can I keep it longer? Can I pass it along in a non-garbage producing way?
I'm going to try.

Pizza may not be typically German, but in Berlin, it's very popular, and a vast improvement on the ubiquitous currywurst stalls. This lovely Kreuzberg Italian restaurant may well have learnt from the best Rome has to offer. Pizzas are huge, crisp discs and the chefs can be seen kneading and stretching the dough behind the counter, and the seductively dim lighting, Renaissance-style murals and vast gilded mirrors keep the decor just the right side of kitsch. If you order wine with lunch, you may find the entire afternoon has slipped by in an exceptionally pleasant way.

("Petrus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving Petrus, Petrus Resources Corp. ("Old Petrus"), Petrus Resources Inc. (formerly PhosCan Chemical Corp.) ("PhosCan") and Fox River Resources Corporation ("Fox River") has closed, and aggregate gross proceeds from the previously announced $30 million bought deal financing (the "Financing") of subscription receipts of Petrus ("Subscription Receipts") have been released from escrow, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to Petrus of approximately $75.4 million, inclusive of the gross proceeds of the Financing and the assumption of approximately $45.4 million of PhosCan's positive working capital.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, Petrus:
As previously announced, Petrus has received conditional approval for the listing of the Petrus Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "PRQ". Such listing is subject to compliance with the requirements of the TSX. Assuming the requirements of the TSX are met, Petrus expects that the Petrus Shares will commence trading on the TSX on or about February 8, 2016.
Pro forma the Arrangement and the Financing, there are approximately 45.3 million Petrus Shares issued and outstanding. The net proceeds from the Arrangement and the Financing will initially be used to reduce debt, providing Petrus with lower interest expense and greater financial flexibility.
Petrus would like to welcome Stephen White, a nominee director of PhosCan, and Jeffrey Zlotky, a nominee of Wingren B.V., a subsidiary of Natural Gas Partners to the board of directors of Petrus, which also includes Don Gray (Chairman), Kevin Adair, Patrick Arnell, Donald Cormack, Brian Minnehan, and Peter Verburg.

The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Petrus. Although Petrus believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Petrus cannot give any assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

Join the fiery discussion going on right now in our infamous message boards where Hollywood stars, directors, execs and other honchos hide behind cyber-nicknames. Sample comments below with links to those hot threads. See more here.
'Empire' first season finale – Click here to discuss
Atypical: Hmmm. Very messy season finale, and now I'm questioning whether season two will be completely off the rails or not. I didn't see competitive tapes for Terrence Howard (I don't think he's going to match up in his competitive lead actor category) or Taraji P. Henson (she's had better material in prior episodes). The one who really stood out here was Jussie Smollett. I never considered him seriously as a contender in supporting actor until now.
vinny: LOVED the first hour……the second not as much. Both were definitely solid B episodes in my opinion though.
eastwest: I didn't really like any of this. Aside from the epic Cookie vs. Boo Boo Kitty fight, it was just meh. All the pieces were there, but it didn't gel for the thrilling television I was hyped for. Regardless, this is an achievement I thought I would never see and its about damn time. Suits are nothing but copy cats getting big money, so I expect the "D" word to be here to stay.
taloson: "Die But Once" would be a great tape for Terrence Howard. I hope he can get a nomination at least. Taraji P. Henson wasn't as strong as I thought she'd be with these final two episodes but that fight with Boo Boo Kitty was epic. I still think her best episode is the Pilot. I agree with Atypical that Jussie Smollett has really come into his own and he could maybe sneak into Supporting Actor if voters really love the show. Otherwise, I think we're looking at nominations for Henson, Howard, Drama Series, maybe Directing at least.
ThemeParks4Life: The first episode was good, but things got too soapy for my liking in the second. Overall, I'm surprised about this show. While not perfect, it was enjoyable and I'm looking forward to season 2. I just hope that it becomes less reliable on twists like Lucious being the father or Andre's wife being pregnant. As for the Emmys, Henson's best bet is still Our Dancing Days, but I don't think she'll be able to beat Wright or Davis. Howard's is between Our Dancing Days and Die But Once.
moviefan61794: First episode was really good, but second episode was too ambitious and the pay off was not there. I'm not sure Taraji has "the episode" this season, but she's earned her nomination. If she's the show's only major nomination, I wouldn't be too upset. Man, I do not like Lucious and I thought for sure they were setting us up to kill him off.
espnfan: I am not sure yet what to make of the Empire season finale yet. There were certainly great moments and it was very enjoyable. But the twists and turns were almost too much. I understand this is a soapy and campy prime time show, but the past three episodes have been teetering on the edge.
Emmy rules for comedies & dramas – Click here to discuss
rstang00: "Shameless" is a Comedy, especially this season. No question. "Glee" who cares. "Jane the Virgin" is a Comedy, also no question. Those decisions were all correct. "Orange is the New Black" is now also in the right category. I figured this rule change this year was made specifically for 'Orange' and my suspicions were correct. This is the best thing that could happen to OITNB because it will finally make them competitive in the categories it's nominated in.
mikeboy898: This makes the Drama category really interesting now, with Netflix probably trying to campaign THREE of their shows in Drama (Bloodline + OITNB + #Houe of Cards#). On the Comedy side, I think we can all agree that Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has a much greater chance of getting a nomination now (which is great!).
Marcus Snowden: At first I was a bit angry at The Academy's decision to keep OITNB in the Drama category. But, later on, I thought about how dramatic the season was and I started that it was indeed the right decision by The Academy.
KyleBailey: Shameless is far more funny then some that are considered comedies. Girls, Looking, Togetherness, Jane the Virgin are all minor comedies compared to Shameless
PianoMann: I think moving Orange to the Drama categories is the right decision, and could benefit the series in some regard. Thinking about their top acting contenders (Taylor Schilling, Uzo Aduba, Kate Mulgrew, and Lorraine Toussaint, in my opinion), not a single one of them delivered a "comedic" performance in Season 2.
'Glee' series finale – Click here to join our forums chat
zordon: Overall, I got from these episodes more than I expected. Season six was a mess, so as a gleek I needed to watch at least one more great episode and cry a little on the last song. And both things happened:)
vinny: I loved both episodes. It's so weird to think that my favorite show is never going to have a new episode but I am not ashamed to say that seeing "Don't Stop Believing" again hit me in the gut for sure. Anyways, Glee will forever be the show that got me through a tough time in my life and I will absolutely buy the last season and everything so it will never be out of my life. In short, Proud to be a Gleek.
GraemeONeil: the thing that really started to bother me was the lack of Dianna Agron, Heather Morris, and especially Naya Rivera in this. It really annoyed me when Darren Criss was shoehorned into the 2009 episode, and we STILL hadn't seen the ladies. Then by halfway through the second hour, it was clear what was going to happen. They literally were just gonna show up for that finale number, and I have to say, once it was happening, my jaw was on the ground. Agron was simply a blonde in the back, and Rivera and Morris were on screen for maybe 3 seconds.
SanityFair: I can't believe how much I've grown to hate this show, especially considering how much I loved it in the beginning. Rachel carrying Kurt and Blaine's baby while playing the role that wins her the Tony award? No thank you. Glad it's over.

We welcome you to join District Governor-Elect, Mary Lou Harrison, at the 2018 Rotary District 7070 Conference next year. Let's reunite!
It will be a one day event. Rotary Reunion – family picnic type affair – focus on the six area's of focus – fun – casual – reuniting after the Rotary International convention!
Rotary International is one of the largest service organizations in the world, bringing together business and professional leaders to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and to advance goodwill and peace around the world. There are over 30,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide and over 1.2 million Rotarians. There are six areas of focus where Rotarians focus their efforts: peace and conflict prevention/resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development.
Perhaps one of the most notable projects spearheaded by Rotary International was the establishment of the PolioPlus Program in 1985, which was the first initiative to tackle global polio eradication. Rotary has contributed more than $1.6 billion and countless volunteer hours to immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries. Rotary is part of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) and works with the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the polio eradication effort. Currently, there are only three countries that have never stopped transmission of the wild poliovirus: Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. In 2015, there was less than 75 polio cases confirmed worldwide. Every dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication will be matched two-to-one by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation up to $35 million a year through 2018. Together, we are "this close" to ending polio.
In addition, Rotary supports many programs that help support its mandate such as Rotary Youth Exchange for high school students or Interact and Rotaract which are service clubs for high school students and young professionals/students, respectively. The organization also offers Rotary Fellowships and Scholarships to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries.
Rotary is dedicated to six areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.
This year's conference revolves around reuniting all of us to hone in on our 6 areas of focus.
Get a glimpse of what our conference has to offer through this video!

I don't know what "CT's" are. But at any rate, I think Donald Trump's first inclination was to answer with, "There won't be any need for me to decide whether or not I'll accept the election results, because we're going to win!"
But if Donald said that, HE would be accused of "rigging" the election after his October/November SURPRISE knocks Clinton out of the race.

So Trump is supposed to automatically answer a bait question.
Maybe he's not in a sheep flock.
His answer has triggered another lib-storm.
ANY question would have been great, w out being a deflecting stooge.........
Really youre gonna go with that? You sound like an Obama supporter '08
Voted for Obama twice, not happy this cycle. I am going to forced to vote for Hillary, because Trump is not fit to be President. The Republicans have failed.

No respect for the guy he entered the campaign knowing how it is run and now because he is losing he claims it is fixed.

Trump Disses Democracy, Starts Bidding War for Corporate Control of Major US Cities
BREAKING: Global corporations based in the USA now are bidding for major US cities, in a race to gain control and create corporate city states.
Replacing nation states with corporate states has always been the long-term strategy. By all accounts, the deadline was down the road, somewhere in the future. The coup was not scheduled to happen before democracy was conclusively proved to be a joke, along with the trappings of Human Rights, Civil Rights and etc..
Following last night's debate however, several unnamed corporations are reportedly ready to proceed with the takeover.
The other joke is that Trump has no money and cannot get in on the Fire Sale.
More news on this as it comes available.
