Web design
In one way or another everything around us is a designer's decision. If you look around, you will see that's true. The main question that the designer answers is "Why?" – why this house is built this way; why the text is placed awry; why your website is developed to look like that?
The design aims to influence the customers, and the designer's mission is to present it in way to affect positively on them. Design connects creativity and innovation so that business ideas can be shaped and built into the perfect product which will fully meet the needs and expectations of the consumers.
What is the web design?
The very word suggests that this is an intersection between web development and design, i.e. that's the process of creating the website visually. Web design includes web pages' layouts, the creation of visual content and the graphic design on the site.
Web design can be divided into two lines – visual and technical. All visual elements form the website. This includes how all of the information is structured along with user interface, website structure, navigation, colors, fonts, layouts, and galleries. Each one of these needs to be consulted with the customer, and based on the provided information the designer projects and creates the website visually.
Web design specificity
- Web design must match the corporate identity of the company – meaning the logo and the colors of the company. The designer may know well the company's branding (logos, color sheme, shapes, fonts, slogan, graphics, etc.) but he/she must be also familiar with the color psychology which would help build the website design accordingly.
- The client's idea is shaped and visualized by the designer – according to the requirements of the company, the designer shapes the company's idea and designs it to its final vision. You know that people "buy with their eyes" – that's why your website needs to be shaped carefully in order to urge your visitors to the desired action.
- Responsive design – it allows accessibility through any mobile and desktop device. Technology is developing rapidly, and now mobile users are more than ever. Statistics show that by 2020 people will prefer to use their mobile devices instead of their desktop computers and browsers.
- User Interface – User Interface (UI) design is relevant on that how your users will perceive intellectually the website structure. How easily your visitors will be navigated on your website and what kind of actions they will take depends on how your UI is structured.
Why is UI important?
As it became clear, user interface (UI) is a series of pages and visual elements such as buttons and icons, which affects the website visitors. On the other hand, User Experience (UX) covers a wide range of actions, including the time spent by the user on the website, along with all aspects of its interaction with it. When you plan the web design, you should consider the user experience. With your website functionalities you have to satisfy the specific needs of the user – what should be designed, where to be located, what color scheme to use, what navigation should be used, etc.
The sequence of your visitors' actions depends on your user interface.
The user experience begins at an early stage. The process which your users are going through begins when they go to your website and it ends with turning them into your customers.
To achieve high qualitative website, you need to invest in graphic design, in the development of good functionalities, in planning and implementing a digital marketing strategy.
What does Tendrik offer for your business?
Before creating your web design, you need to set clear goals which your website will need to achieve. This is an important step as it helps to measure how the site will perform – will it achieve the goals and will you need to invest in extensions or site improvements. Planning how your website will look like is an essential process that should not be neglected.
The services, which Tendrik offers, include:
- Developing a new website design – if you are a start-up business, it's important for you to have a well-built website, a logo and a corporate identity (the color sheme and the fonts which will be used in the web design). In order to have a positive influence on your online visitors, you need a well-structured, clean and modern website, and Tendrik's team is ready to provide it to you.
- Web development – you have already established your business and have been proved in your nich Still, you haven't reached your potential online yet. By developing your site, we will be working on a web design that will be fully consistent with your corporate identity.
- Redesign – Your users can be greatly influenced by their experience on your website. The trends in web design change all the time. What was trendy three years ago may not be a good practice now. Your site should be oriented towards your visitors' Redesigning an existing website will affect positively your online image and will improve the user's behavior.
Designing ideas and making them into a complete product is the designer's work. He's the "magician" who shapes the product in its final state.
Our team could help you with your website vision so the web design could meet your customer needs and it will allow you to achieve seamlessly the desired results. Tendrik's team can be your design partner for your website which later will become your online business card.

Do you ever sit or talk to people about your first childhood memory?
Well Perky from The 6 Senses of the Insane asked that question.....
One of my earlist childhood memories is standing in my front yard looking at my next door neighbours place. I think i was around 3-4 years old..
My father used to in the army and we lived in an area that had loads of familes who had someone in the army, there used to be a little boy who i used to play games with, one day he was no longer there and i used to stand at the fence between the yards looking at his house wondering when he was going to come out to play, one day i asked my mum where this boy was, my mum then told me that the family had moved, i was really sad as i had lost my play friend and we used to have loads of fun together.
When my mother passed away i was going through everything and found some letters that my parents used to write to each other while my dad was away in Vietnam war, they are quite amusing
It was like walking back in time reading some of the things i got up too, i , like getting a broom and cleaning the house for my mum (im sure i made more mess though), my mum asking me who's girl i was, after saying everyone in the family me saying i was daddy girls.
I love reading these letters now and then and have placed them in a folder so they are no longer folded over, hopefully they will be ok in years to come.

Well I've had great intentions of doing a lot of scrapbooking in the new year but it hasn't happened. We found out when we got home after Christmas break that we are being transferred back to Thompson. It has been a busy few months trying to keep my house clean with 2 little ones. The house is now sold and move out day is in less than 2 weeks!! We will be houseless for a few weeks and move into our new house at the end of May. I hope once we are settled and my scrapbook area is set up I will be back in full force. I have so many pictures needing to be scrapped!!
Although last week I decided to take on a project and sew a skirt for Miss Bai. It was fun.... my next project will be a shirt or dress.... just too many projects and not enough time!!!! If anyone wishes to give it a shot here is the link to the pattern.... & it's FREE!!! MADE -this website is great!

``Event`` programming will continue to dominate made-for-TV movies and miniseries this season, since only a handful of last season`s blatantly sleazy TV movies did well in the ratings. One network in particular, ABC, whose main bill of fare is schlock, didn`t even place a single TV movie in the top 20, and seems to have learned a hard lesson.
Most of ABC`s exploitative TV movies are operating under the guise of social commentary. Easy Prey, a lurid chronicle of the abduction of a teen-age girl by Florida serial murderer Christopher Wilder, is being promoted as a cautionary tale. Gerald McRaney (Simon & Simon) portrays Wilder.
ABC also teams Elizabeth Taylor (who had a cameo last season in the network`s North & South miniseries) and Robert Wagner in their first TV movie: There Must Be a Pony, written by James (A Chorus Line) Kirkwood. Taylor plays a Hollywood movie actress making a difficult comeback. Another actress from tinseltown`s golden era, Audrey Hepburn, makes her dramatic TV debut for ABC in Kind of a Lady, co-starring . . . Robert Wagner.
As if those two ABC projects won`t keep him busy enough, Wagner co-stars with Stefanie Powers in Hart to Hart Reunion, a TV movie reprise of their hit ABC series. John Ritter, who also had a hit ABC series (Three`s Company), stars for the network in The Last Fling, a romantic comedy with Connie Selleca, of Hotel, in the female lead.
Other ABC movie projects of varying seriousness include The Beate Klarsfeld Story, an ambitious, promising, fact-based docudrama starring Farrah Fawcett as the German woman who exposed Nazi war criminals; Tom Conti and Geraldine Page co-star, and Michael Lindsay-Hogg (Brideshead Revisited) is the director. Fired stars John Forsythe as a man dumped from his blue-collar job after 35 years; The Betty Ford Story dramatizes the ex-first lady`s battle with alcoholism and her founding of a recovery clinic; and Casanova stars Richard Chamberlain as the 17th century Italian lover.

The present test series was directly related to the third area; the tests were
supervised by H.R.Jhansale, but it is thought that the data presented shall also
be of some use to the other two fields of investigation.
Previous work on the same subject for different
materials can be found in References [5] and [6]; the
test program being partially modeled on the work of Ref.[5].
Standard longitudinal specimens of 0.375" gage
length and 0.250" diameter were tested in an MTS
20 kip closed loop servo controlled system as described
in Ref. [8]. Conditioned output signals from load cell
and clip - on extensometer were recorded by both X-Y
plotter and high frequency response strip chart.
All eight specimens were subjected to strain
controlled deformation programs; characterized by a
block of cycles of large strain range ( Δε₁ ) followed
by a secondary block at a smaller strain range ( Δε₂ )
which "relaxed" the mean stress induced by the change
in strain limits. Typical hysteretic control conditions
for various parts of the test are shown in
Fig._1 and a sample strain/time and load/time
recording is given in Fig. 2.
The test program emphasized mean stress
relaxation behviour rather thatn the methods used to
induce it. For the normalized mild steel, which
displays hardening at high strain rages, and softening
in lower nonelastic regions, the relatively stable
strain range of Δε₁ = 0.77% was chosen for the "primary
cycling block" of six of the specimens, so as
to minimize hardening and softening effects on mean
stress relaxation. Two other tests, as listed in
Table 2 were conducted at the primary range of Δε₁=1.6%.
Secondary strain ranges varied from Δε₂=0.10%
to Δε₂=0.67%. In most tests the application of the
first two blocks of mean stress inducing ( labeled as 1a
for all tests), and means stress relaxing (block type 1b)
was followed by others at different ranges.
The notation used to denote primary blocks is as:
Part 1a, 2a, 3a ...etc.,while secondary relaxation blocks are labeled:
Part 1b, 2b, 3b, ...etc.Mean stress was taken as the average between
Figures 4 to 7 indicate that mean stress relaxation
as a function of cycles can be expressed as
So = C x Nb where So is the mean stress at cycle N C is the mean stress at cycle 1. b is the slope of So vs. N on the log-log graph.The exponents for all blocks with mean stress
The co-efficient appears to be related to the
loop shape of the primary strain limits and the
relative poition of the secondary strain limits.
So = C x NbThe co-efficient, C is a function of the
The exponent b, is believed to be related to
the plastic strain occurring in the secondary
block; as indicated by the trends in Figs._9 and_10.
Significant scatter is also evident in these figures;
specifically the exponents for tests RX-3 6c, and
RX-8_3a. Table 2 indicates that these recordings
were made fairly late in the life of the specimens
and it is possible that the presence of a crack has
affected the behaviour. This however cannot be the
only reason for the scatter as other tests at similar
lives still conform to the power relationship, without
the variation in exponents.
The effects of superimposed hardening or
softening behariour on mean stress relaxation are
difficult to interpret from present data. By
saturation of the material with 500 to 1000 cycles at an
intermediate strain range, it was hoped that large
changes in stress range with cycling, would not occur.
Table 2 indicates however that the mean stresses
were at times accompanied by some softening. One
possible way for cyclic hardening of softening, defined
as a change in stress range, to show up as
an apparent mean stress relaxation, is for the material
to become anisotropic with deformation. i.e. The
stress range in the tensile half cycle is always larger
or smaller than the stress range in the compressive
half cycle which immediately follows it. This would
result in a movement of the hysteresis loop along its
mean strain axis with cycling. Definite conclusions as
to this inter-relationship can however not be made
fro the results of the present study and further
research is warranted.

bLite® Ultrasound Cavitation Lipo System
What does it do?
bLITE® uses ultrasound cavitation, which is a non-invasive technique for fat reduction and assisting in skin tightening. It simply converts fat into liquid and then allows the body to eliminate this liquid easily through the lymphatic and urinary system.
How does it work?
The ultrasound hand piece delivers low frequency ultrasound waves that penetrate directly into the fat cell membranes. This expanding and compressing action creates micro bubbles, making the fat cell walls collapse and burst through thousands of microscopic implosions without harming neighboring tissues.
After the break down of fat cell membranes, the content, primarily made up of triglyceride, is quickly released into the interstitial fluid between the cells, which are then naturally drained away through the lymphatic and urinary system.
- Safe, effective, non-invasive and no downtime
- Reliable and resistant with true Ultrasonic cavitation technology
- Suitable for all skins
- fat & cellulite removal
- body contouring, firming
- skin tightening
- inch loss
- Improve skin elasticity and tone

This article is part of a series, chronicling a foolish attempt to chronicle the history of modern pop, through the Now That's What I Call Music series. All the previous articles, and some other fun stuff, can be found here.
Released- 21st November 2014
Music History
Well, it's happening right now. So it's not history. If I could write it, it would say Run the Jewels 2 and Urge for Offal both go triple platinum and revitalise the music industry. However, I don't write history. Taylor Swift and Sam Smith are likely to be the only two artists to go platinum, in what must be described as a bit of a bad year for the record industry.
Me History
I am writing a blog. It's the present day. Now albums still exist and come out, and as this one is only a couple of weeks old, I thought it might be fun to review one that is recent, and see how today's pop sounds. I am a fool.
If I had to save one track from this album, and the remainder were to be barred from existence, following an angry Twitterstorm, that track would be… Take Me To Church. It's a little life affirming that with the fragmentation of genres and specialisation that Spotify culture has wrought, that a good song can still do well in and of itself.
Track by track breakdown
Meghan Trainor – "All About That Bass"
Ah, it's okay as a song, but at least it's not entirely vacuous in content. Judgemental yes, but you know, it's rebelling against a billion dollar industry based around making women hate themselves to sell cloth, so you go girl.
Olly Murs featuring Travie McCoy – "Wrapped Up"
This sounds like something I hated by someone else a few years ago. Thank the Lord for my long term memory loss! He seems a cute cheeky chappy though, and I can't bring myself to hate him. For want of trying.
Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj – "Bang Bang"
Not bad but not all that good soul stomper, saved from mediocrity by a rapid fire Nicki Minaj verse late on. She really is worth the exorbitant guest price.
Nico and Vinz – "Am I Wrong"
Not much of anything. The lyrical depth of a puddle, with some okay music. Any more clichés and the song would collapse in a pile of motivational quotes.
Magic! – "Rude"
Ugh. Firstly, it sounds a bit like Sting. Secondly, it's catchy, but the wetness of his voice is equally stuck in your head. Thirdly, maybe the parents are saying no because you're a scrag end who just demanded they say yes? Thrice no less.
Sam Smith – "I'm Not the Only One"
Yes, it's bland crap, designed to sell chocolates and furniture sets to mumsy types who want something up to date, without having to take any interest in how the world has changed. But he does seem like a genuinely nice guy.
Tom Odell – "Real Love"
The second best song of the two from The Beatles 90's reissues, and now somebody has made the second best version. Penguins, John Lewis, and so on and kill me.
Gareth Malone's All-Star Choir – "Wake Me Up"
I prefer this cover to the original. If only for the fact Jo Brand has now had a top 10 hit. And I loved the original Gareth Malone series'. He's just so very nice.
Ed Sheeran – "Don't"
Very well produced, but he should not be allowed to write his own lyrics. I'm cringing listening to this embarrassing 'voice of yoof' shit!
George Ezra – "Blame It on Me"
The pretty standard sensitive singer songwriter schtick would be cloying, (see Sheeran, Ed) but he has a jolly nice, distinctive baritone which makes the song much more listenable.
The Script – "Superheroes"
This is the first time, I think, that I have heard a song by the ratty Irish one from The Voice. Wow. How can this guy judge other people's talent? He's more pedestrian than a small town high street. Also, clearly autotuned.
OneRepublic – "Love Runs Out"
Boy bands catch up with Adele. About 3 years late. Still actually very good for what it is, with its hand claps and stompy, rhythmic piano line.
Maroon 5 – "Maps"
Christ on an 18 gear mountain bike. These guys were a joke a decade ago! How are they still here? Did the chart compiler lose a bet? Do idiots live longer?
Hozier – "Take Me to Church"
Lush and deep sounding, almost like a Jeff Buckley track. That is high praise. Full of longing and feeling and power. Absolutely one of the best pop songs this year.
Charli XCX – "Boom Clap"
Proof that if Robyn had been five years later, she'd be a millionaire. Seriously, did she write this?
One Direction – "Steal My Girl"
I wanted to be pleasantly surprised. Instead I find that Journey have been robbed by four weed heads and their sinister looking master Harold Styles, like a modern day retelling of Oliver Twist.
The Vamps featuring Shawn Mendes – "Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)"
Why would you even try to mess with Simon and Garfunkel.
Joke review 1- the sound of silence would be preferable.
Joke review 2- if these guys are The Vamps, then I'm a fan of The Van Helsings, The Blades, and The Buffys.
5 Seconds of Summer – "Amnesia"
I can totally see how this would really move me, if I were 13 years old. Sounds a lot like Hey There Delilah by a band from ten years ago I can't even remember.
G.R.L. – "Ugly Heart"
Nothing about this song is worth the price of entry. Absolute bobbins. Better to spend 3 minutes trying to drown with your face in rice pudding.
Katy Perry – "This Is How We Do"
Moderate fun. Like she tried to do Royals by Lorde, but without the on point snark. The production covers a lot of the cracks though.
Cheryl Cole featuring Tinie Tempah – "Crazy Stupid Love"
Well, I went in expecting to hate this track, by the Geordie best known for racial assault in night clubs. However, it is actually really good, bouncy, and infectious. Tinie Tempah is a dissapointment by comparison to the rest of the song. Almost as good as other Girl Aloud, Nicola Roberts' solo stuff.
Ella Henderson – "Glow"
It must be horrible to be an average female artist in the current musical climate. You can't even blame your lack of success on a male dominated industry. You must have to accept that the songs are turds.
The Veronicas – "You Ruin Me"
A gloriously bitter and resentful break up ballad. Colour me genuinely impressed. I had liked Untouched a lot, but figured it was a pop fluke. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for more as I make my way up to the present day.
Calvin Harris featuring John Newman – "Blame"
If you've read any of the prior Now reviews I've done, you may know how much I loathe Paul Weller. Calvin Harris is Paul Weller for millenials. Some average divot who once did an amusing song about the 80's, and has since got a very long way on incredibly little talent.
Sigma featuring Paloma Faith – "Changing"
Listening to these albums, I have sorely missed a drum and bass beat. Not my kind of D&B, but it gets a pass as I like her hats.
Lilly Wood & Robin Schulz – "Prayer in C"
Bleak and moody pop house. The guitar line it's built around really is very gorgeous, and complements the singer brilliantly.
Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne – "Real Love"
Rather Be, Clean Bandits prior single was rather lovely, an intricate mix of strings and dance beats that complemented each other beautifully and showed real promise. This is your standard auto tune an average singer and stick it over a beat crap. Looks like they just lucked onto one good song before.
Jeremih featuring YG – "Don't Tell 'Em"
Pretty dated sounding R&B for those who miss 2001. I do like the use of Rhythm is a Dancer for the chorus, even if it shows up that the original, basic as hell lyrics are better than the poorly planned ones here!
David Guetta featuring Sam Martin – "Lovers on the Sun"
Half the song is great, a bold attempt to make Ennio Morriconne go EDM. The rest of it is the same generic synth riff that is David Guetta's multi million pound career summed up.
Waze & Odyssey vs. R. Kelly – "Bump & Grind 2014"
They've made a hybrid of the above and the keyboard riff from a Livin' Joy track. In doing so, they've lost all the party fun of the latter, and ruined possibly the greatest tacky sex jam of all time.
Ariana Grande featuring Zedd – "Break Free"
By the books EDM pop. Beyond some fun Atari noises at the start, never really goes anywhere worth visiting, or that hasn't been visited by somebody more interesting.
Nicole Scherzinger – "Your Love"
Not good enough for The Pussycat Dolls, X Factor or Formula One drivers. Her diction is just weird. As a pop singer, I think you might need to be able to pronounce the word 'baby'. You have to use it a lot.
Pitbull featuring John Ryan – "Fireball"
Pitbull is pretty talentless as a rapper, but between the Latin carnival backing and referencing of Run DMC, this ends up being a lot of fun. Kind of danceably irresistible.
Wankelmut & Emma Louise – "My Head Is a Jungle" (MK Remix)
Happy clappy old school house. Not all that, but the guy's name is HILARIOUS.
ZHU – "Faded"
Starts out promisingly, deep housey, then the vocal came in, and it was a little dissapointing, then the vocals get detuned and weird and I'm all over it again. I've settled on great.
Duke Dumont – "Won't Look Back"
This is how to do 90's dance! Right down to the Ride on Time reference. Seriously, this is a keeper for anyone who grew up in the 1990s. Banger.
Parra for Cuva featuring Anna Naklab – "Wicked Games"
Don't cover something if you don't think that you can do a better or different version. And it's not like the original couldn't be improved. Failure on all counts.
Fuse ODG featuring Angel – "T.I.N.A."
An admirable attempt to fuse trance, R&B and afropop. Not a resounding success, but definitely more interesting than some of the lazier efforts on here.
Ten Walls – "Walking with Elephants"
Intriguing. Starts sounding a little like Unfinished Symphony, then brings in bizarre honking synth sounds, scattered in an offbeat with the beat. Enjoyably odd.
Kiesza – "Giant in My Heart"
More 90's sounding dated dance. Saved by nice glassy synth sounds and bad scatting (the vocal kind, not the bum type). Never more than okay though.
The Magician featuring Years & Years – "Sunlight"
Beyond so much autotune I can't even identify the gender of the singer, this dance track could have come out any time in the past 20 years, and would have been just okay.
Melissa Steel featuring Popcaan – "Kisses for Breakfast"
Embarrassingly cute pop R&B. Sadly had a Mike Read style fake patois breakdown. It's like 21st century blackface. Horrible.
Professor Green featuring Tori Kelly – "Lullaby"
Sounds like your average youth drinking in a bus shelter who thinks he can rap. No wit, no wordplay. Just a spoiled tit who thinks his life is hard. Like a (more) embarrassing Eminem.
Iggy Azalea featuring Rita Ora – "Black Widow"
Ah, Igloo Australia, the Antipodes finest Nicki Minaj tribute act. Decidedly average, but no worse than expected, given the quality of the acts involved.
Nicki Minaj – "Anaconda"
Only a dissapointment in that I always want her to cut loose like her best records all the time. Still good enough, but I want to hear her be really funny at 100 miles an hour. This is a waste of a good sample. But only in comparison to the high standards she herself has set.
Final verdict: 21 out of 45, or 47%. In theory, it's down there with series low Now 2, but in fairness, it has 15 more tracks to contend with, and these days, the sequencing is miles better. Don't like singer songwriters? They're all in one place, so you can skip them. And so on. So despite the close score, I prefer this album.

Many people wish to be the great tempter who has power over love. However, once they actually experience love, they begin to understand that what they once wished for was foolish and useless. In this drama, all the characters are in love just like us. To be frank, they all desire someone. The desires to love and to be loved clash with each other as the story unravels. Some regret the mask they hid behind in front of love and express their disappointment and anger to others. Through love, some learn to love themselves while others get too hurt to stand back on their feet. But then again, through many hardships, some get back on their feet and learn to love once again. Tempted hopes for the viewers to laugh, cry, and go through these stories together. Just like how everyone's interpretation of love is different, this drama wishes that we can all love passionately without any comparisons.

No Political Independence in Upton Appointment, say NZ First
New Zealand First has major issues with Simon Upton being the next Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, says Deputy Leader Ron Mark.
"How can we accept a re-tread who's been a National Party Member of Parliament for 19 years, a cabinet minister who in the pantheon of cabinet ministers, is right up there with Dr Nick Smith.
"This role should remain politically independent, but that has been ignored by the government and the Labour and Green Parties.
"What we need as the next Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment is not a previous Young Nationals chairman.
"Can anyone explain to New Zealanders why Mr Upton, a Rhodes Scholar with degrees in English literature, music, law and a masters in political philosophy, is suddenly qualified for this most important role?
"The three previous commissioners have all been highly qualified scientists devoid of political entanglements.
"Not Mr Upton who is donkey deep inside National's old boy's beltway network.
"Look at the past Commissioners - Dr Helen Hughes, a Fulbright scholar and expert on botany; Dr Morgan Williams, a hugely respected ecologist with a Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries background and then there is Dr Jan Wright – a physicist with a doctorate from the John F Kennedy School of Government.
"To be fair we have not always agreed with the Commissioner but these were all experts with no agenda. They shared two things; legitimacy and integrity.
"Then you come to Simon Upton who was regarded as the Dr Nick Smith of his day. An ideologue with little political nous who was ever so accident prone in whatever portfolio he touched.
"Mr Upton entered Parliament in 1981 as the MP for Waikato, aged 23. He left it 19 years later and did what all red-blooded Kiwis do by moving to France.
"Like many bright young things he was no Pitt the Younger but had an arrogance that comes from a lack of life skills and a ton of theory.
"At the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development nothing he authored was very convincing because he had swapped one beltway for another more cosmopolitan one.
"So what is Mr Upton's track record? It is shameful all other parties rolled over and allowed their tummies to be tickled. Pepsi and Coke, nothing's new.
"Mr Upton was responsible for messing up the Resource Management Act including the removal of private property rights from the original 1989 Resource Management Bill. The RMA is unloved by many being a bureaucratic hydra and Mr Upton was its midwife.
"Mr Upton, not content with stuffing up our planning system, set the groundwork for the Kyoto Protocol that sees taxpayers paying close to quarter of a billion dollars to achieve nothing.
"He also broke up the legendarily DSIR into competing Crown Research Institutes that now scrap over smaller and smaller pieces of the research pie.
"We mustn't forget he was one of the most useless Ministers of Health, ever. He showed a cold-heart over compensation for the 'bad blood' transfusions and even introduced cash registers into hospitals.
"Yet we guess this gives Dr Smith a lot of hope that one day, even he could become the PCE because frankly New Zealand First is incredulous about this appointment.
"We're even more stunned by every other party accepting it.
"This sets a terrible precedent for a role that demands an authoritative respected voice. Our advice to Mr Upton is to sign his contract in pencil and to not unpack. There is no way we will accept this appointment standing when in government," says Mr Mark.

I found these with my metal detector today not sure if they're silver or something else?
The bottom two look like they could be platinum, though platinum nuggets are really rare. They could also be slag. Where did you find them? Perhaps this will be an indicator. Also what color is the streak, and are they exceptionally heavy for their size?
Extremely light for their size even the big one, found in the chaudiere river near quebec city..as for the streaks like rusty green
That's odd as most metals are heavy, and this material certainly looks metallic. Can you test if it conducts electricity?

Dear Parents
It's that time of year again when we have our annual Easter Egg celebrations. Each year we invite the children to take part in an egg themed competition and an egg rolling assembly.
We are inviting the children to take part in an egg decorating or 'Eggy-scene' competition, with suitably large amounts of chocolate being taken home by the winners and runners-up! Entrants should bring their labelled egg (which must be hard boiled!) to the school foyer by 8:30am on the 25th March, when they will be placed on display. Winners and runners up will be selected on the 27th March for each year group.
Some suitable ideas for egg decorations can be found here:
We ask that children are encouraged to think of ideas work on their design and parents give limited assistance - it should be more the children's work the older they are.
Our assembly on the 27th March will be our traditional Egg Rolling assembly, where each class enters a single hard-boiled egg and we see which class' egg rolls the furthest – a little fun (which has been known to get quite competitive amongst the teachers…) in our final assembly of the term and a great activity ahead of our Easter picnic in the afternoon. If you have any questions about any of the above then do please feel free to get in touch.
Yours sincerely
Mark Johnson
Y5 Team Leader (Egg Master in chief)
Please download the "Egg Competition Entry Form" below.

School cafeterias are dishing out food today's parents couldn't have imagined back when they slogged through the lunch line.
Gone are the days of meat loaf, chicken and gravy, and sloppy Joes in Broward.
We've entered the era of farm-to-table green beans, Asian chicken and kale salad and fresh sweet peppers. Entrees include Rainbow trout sandwiches, beef teriyaki dippers over brown rice and vegan salad with beans.
In Palm Beach County, vegetarian chili and chicken teriyaki make regular menu appearances.
Broward said good bye to Jell-O and whipped sugar deserts. And hello to pineapple cut to look like Popsicles and vegetables disguised as a fruit drink.
The usuals are still around — hamburgers, cheese pizza and chicken nuggets. But they're made with 100 percent whole grains, said Darlene Moppert, the Broward school district's program manager of nutrition educating and training.
Now the challenge is to convince parents — especially wealthier ones — that school lunch is good enough for their kids.
"It's a perception that we all have of school cafeterias. You're thinking of the old lady with the bonnet on her head serving slop," said Rudy Poindexter, Broward's chef consultant. "We're really trying to change that in the sense of giving kids fresh and vibrant vegetables."
To prove the point, parents from four affluent schools in Parkland on Thursday were invited to taste the fare at Riverglades Elementary. About 25 showed up.
They grazed on beef nachos, fish nuggets and hot Italian subs in addition to kale, green beans and peppers.
The food surprised Marina Manetti, who recently moved here from Brazil. She regularly packs her daughter's lunch.
"Everybody says the school lunch in the USA is terrible, just hamburger and pizza," she said. "And it's not true."
William Freedman, a self-identified "snobby Southern Californian," was already sold on the meals, which his kindergartner eats daily.
"I did not expect at public school she would eat the lunch here," Freedman said.
Maria Kennedy, who has two kids in Park Trails Elementary, was unimpressed with the hamburgers.
"Looking at it would make me sick," Kennedy said. "I don't believe in that kind of food."
She packs her kids' lunches because she doesn't trust most school food. She was, however, impressed with the beef nachos and the fresh fruit.
On average, about one-third of the students at the district's most affluent schools buy lunch in the cafeteria each day.
When asked what they wished their cafeterias had a few years ago, students from one Parkland school said Starbucks, Moppert said.
By contrast, an average of almost 90 percent of kids eat cafeteria lunch at schools where at least three-quarters of the kids eat for free or at reduced prices.
"You have a lot of people in those areas that are hungry and they're dependent on school meals," Moppert said.
By law, every meal must contain one-third of the daily requirements for protein, calories, Vitamin C, A, Iron and Calcium. They must also use 100-percent whole grains.
And all kids who order school lunch are also required to take one cup of fruit and vegetables.
To make sure they serve fresh produce, the school districts in Palm Beach and Broward counties contract with local farmers to bring fresh produce.
But that doesn't mean all kids eat it.
In Palm Beach County, many of the kids simply trash their produce, said Allison Monbleau, director of school food service. Schools responded by setting up tables where students could leave their unwanted food for other students who wanted it.
Although getting kids to eat their greens isn't always easy, there's one healthy food that's popular across the board: yogurt parfait.
Both Miami-Dade and Broward said that's one of the crowd favorites.
"My son gets up every morning and says 'Mommy, I don't want to take the bus. Because if he takes the bus, hes not going to get there in time to get the parfait," Kennedy said.

After my Lipid Profile shown a high level of Triglycerides last February , I have decided to jog once a day ( either early in the morning or late in the afternoon). For the first two months, I was diligent with my routine … then came the hectic month of May which put me to sleep late at nights .
Jogging sometimes is boring especially if you are doing it alone and on a regular basis. So I decided to spice up my regimen by listening to with my son's MP3 player. To be honest, I am not an MP3 lover . I don't feel comfortable with headphones but when I tried it the other day while doing my rounds, I was able to double my regular distance. I enjoyed the beat so much that I completed more than 2 km without feeling so tired. I guess its time for me to have my own MP3.

I won't put this one under Life Hacks, as it's just general cleaning. Years ago I was quite an avid read of The Fly Lady in an attempt to get our cleaning and chaos in order (as it turns out it didn't help). One of the central things she made newbies do was to clean their sink as a way to start their motivation to keep clean.
If I remember correctly – it started with filling the sink and soaking using a strong, disinfectant and hot water. Then releasing the water drying and buffing using window cleaner. This should in theory make a shiny sparkling sink that will give you the prompt to start getting everything cleaner.
As an attempt to get the ball rolling today on our cleaner lives I gave it another crack. So I so I filled and soaked the sink in Domestos, left for about 5 mins drained and dried. And started the buffing process with some Windex.
Well I don't think it did anything for the shine, and the two chemical combined are an appalling smell, it did at least take away the smell from the garbage disposal.

At some point in our lives, we all must leave our Eden. Our little paradise. A hometown. A country. A relationship. A dream. Even our own mind.
At some point, we become the stranger in the strange land. Where everything is foreign to us, and we are foreign to everything.
Once, in graduate school, I was told by a student from Saudi Arabia that even the Prophet Muhammad instructed believers to show mercy to animals. This could then merit the forgiveness of Allah.
We were sitting at a rather old wooden table in the university writing center. I was her tutor, and she was struggling to write in English. And just below that table, beside my chair (and laying on top of my feet) was the furriest, friendliest mutt I had ever met.
"Diego" was a rescue. He had thick, black fur, and he looked like a cross between a Flat-coated Retriever and a Great Pyrenees.
And Diego was a service dog in training — with me.
The student was terrified of him. Most of the Saudi Arabian students were.
In Saudi Arabia, dogs — often undomesticated and feral — ran freely in cities. Biting the residents. Biting her.
Despite the fact that, in her country, animals are assigned to an inferior status by the Qur'an, some hadiths (traditions, and the foundation of Islamic theology and certain laws) even ordered that the most impure breed of dogs (specifically, those with black colored fur) must be killed.
I learned a lot that day. That semester. We both did.
"While marching towards Mecca they passed a female dog with puppies. The Prophet ordered that they should not be disturbed. He said there is heavenly reward for every act of kindness done to animal."
– Shamim Aleem, Prophet Muhammad (S) And His Family: A Sociological Perspective (2011), p.49
Fortunately, Diego seemed to read the situation, sensing the students' uneasiness. And he mostly slept by my feet throughout our sessions. Soon the Saudi students warmed to him. Some even stroked the fur of his neck, marveling at its cleanliness.
Toward the end of the semester, I saw that student less and less. At her final tutoring session, she presented me with a gift.
She sheepishly admitted that she and her fellow female Saudi students had struggled remembering my name. Instead, they described my appearance (among each other and to the writing center administrator) — "the nice, helpful woman with glasses." When the administrator couldn't narrow down who they were referencing, they added "with the black dog."
"But now," she said, "we call you Al moudarraseh maa el kalib el aswad."
The teacher with the black dog.
In English, we wouldn't think much of this. I know. It sounds about as meaningful as saying the teacher who owns the dog.
But for them, she explained, the title means so much more. It indicates a mutually reciprocal relationship. Where the dog chooses to be with that individual, and the individual choose to be with the dog.
No ownership involved.
Perhaps our life journeys are just like that. The journey chooses us, and we choose it.
I have often felt like a restless traveler, wandering reluctantly. That is when I remember my Arabic name. And it is like a sweet melody urging me onward.

The Parliamentary Select Committee on Communications has raised red flag over the government's introduction of Interconnect Clearing House (ICH) for the telecommunications sector.
The government, through the National Communications Authority (NCA), is claiming that some telecommunication companies (Telcos) are involved in scams and also underpaying revenue due the government and as a result, said it was in the process of establishing an ICH that would require Telcos and International Carriers to connect their gateways via a clearinghouse.
Member of Parliament (MP) for Obuasi West, Kwaku Kwarteng, has sued the NCA and others over what he called an unlawful breach of the law.
Stakeholders' Queries
However, the Select Committee, chaired by Albert Abongo, MP for Bongo, has written to the sector minister requesting him to respond to queries raised by the Chamber of Telecommunications Service Providers and other stakeholders who are complaining that an ICH regime might curtail free speech.
The letter, which was also copied to the NCA, Chamber of Telecoms, Speaker of Parliament, leadership of parliament as well as all communication service providers, stated, 'I write to remind you of the Members' request that you submit to the committee, responses to the numerous queries raised by the Chamber of Telecommunications Service Providers as well as the individual Service providers.'
The committee said that if the Ministry of Communications abandoned the process of dialogue with stakeholders it 'may jeopardize the implementation of the Interconnect Clearing House.'
'It is in this regard that the committee respectively believes the need for extension of time for the consultation processes with the stakeholders,' the letter further stated.
It assured the ministry and the stakeholders of its preparedness 'to continue to be a part of the process towards amicable resolution of the concerns raised,as the committee continues
to receive petitions and
representations on daily
Franklin's Critique
In a related development, Chief Executive of IMANI Centre for Policy and Education, Franklin Cudjoe, has observed that the proposal to establish the ICH is illegal and noted stakeholders were not even consulted.
He told Citi FM's news analysis programme, 'The Big Issue,' that 'The National Communication Authority and the Ministry of Communication are exceedingly wasteful enterprises which are causing a lot of harm to us. Even in Pakistan their supreme court ruled that the Interconnect Clearing House is an illegality.'
He said the project is political and criticized President Mahama for describing the project as 'transformational' in his State of the Nation address.
Mr Cudjoe stressed last Thursday, 'It is a political project which is building war chest of a party and I think it is one of the grandest sponsored schemes ever.
'This is one bad piece of legislation which was smuggled through cabinet because it never had any serious discussions in the public and certainly no telco was involved. Very bad communication policy.'
OccupyGhana Concerns
OccupyGhana (OG), a fast-growing pressure group campaigning against widespread corruption in the country, was one of the first groups to criticize the ICH initiative.
It issued a release on February 2, saying, 'While the ICH concept may not necessarily be an inappropriate solution, OccupyGhana has legitimate concerns, a number of which have been expressed by other stakeholders in the telecommunications industry.
'OccupyGhana believes that these concerns must be thoroughly discussed and a consensus reached in the best interest of the country, bearing in mind telecommunication licences are national assets and the citizenry ought to be assured by government that all such assets will be harnessed and put to proper use to enable the nation to gain optimum benefit.'
MFWA's Call
Another organization to join the crusade against ICH was the media right group, Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) who called on Ghanaians to fiercely resist what it called 'the ongoing attempt to introduce the proposed industry-crippling entity.'
MFWA in a news release, said the proposed ICH policy 'has been quite imprudent.'
'In fact, recent actions by the regulator (NCA) have the potential of not just crippling the industry, but also rolling back the gains made in the sector so far,' it's Executive Director, Mustapha Sulemana, noted.

Prince Died Without a Will: What Can You Learn
Changes to Social Security Rules for 2016
Do I need a Medicaid Trust if I already have a Revocable Living Trust?
Monday, March 16, 2015
When a spouse dies, the estate is usually left outright to the surviving spouse. This is a big mistake! Anything owned by your surviving spouse can be taken away. The first rule of protecting your spouse from creditors after your death, is "Do not let your spouse own your assets after you die."
This strategy is not as bad as it sounds. In fact, most spouses actually appreciate the strategy when they learn they can maintain the benefits of ownership without the risk of having it exposed to any creditor claims.
To implement this strategy requires that you first create a revocable living trust and transfer your assets into it. When you die, the instructions of the revocable trust state that your assets will be moved to a special trust inside your revocable trust that can be used for your surviving spouse's health, education, maintenance, and support. These instructions mean that all of the trust's assets are available to maintain your spouse's lifestyle. The beauty of this plan is that although your spouse will receive all the benefits of being a trust beneficiary, your spouse will not face any of the risks faced by thos4e who receive their inheritances outright, including the risk of losing it to creditors.
As a trust beneficiary, your spouse is entitled to what the law calls the "beneficial enjoyment" of the trust property. This gives your spouse all of the benefits of enjoying the use of the trust property without fear of losing it to creditors.
This arrangement gives your spouse "control without ownership." Even though the trust owns that assets, your spouse will continue to manage and control them. The benefit is that if a creditor makes a claim against your spouse, assets in the trust are protected because they are not legally owned by your spouse - they are your assets left in trust under your spouse's control and for your spouse's benefit. Because a creditor is not your spouse, the creditor has no right to claim the trust's assets.

Safety, and steering on the Tideway
Steering on the Tideway
Anyone steering a boat on the Tideway has to meet a certain level of ability and be familiar with "Rowing on the Tideway, a code of practice for the tidal Thames" produced by the PLA. British Rowing have also produced a guide. The club has a list of boat classes that individual members are considered competent to steer.
The content of this page overlaps with that of two others. The focus of each is this:
Safety - the safety of the person.
Coxing and steering - the role of a cox or steerer.
Rights and responsibilities - what you can expect, what others can expect of you and protection of equipment.
Requirements for all members
Members need to be aware of the obvious dangers, such as falling from the pontoon ramp and the less obvious ones, such as the risk of infection from contaminated river water. All members should:
- Be able to swim 100m in rowing kit, or wear a lifejacket on the water at all times
- Be able to perform an emergency stop.
- Have permission to use a boat
- Have read the Tideway Code and Row Safe leaflet.
- Dress appropriately for the conditions
- Know the responsibilities of cox, steer and coach.
- Know what to do if there's an accident on or off the water.
Requirements for coxes, steers, single scullers and coaches.
You should:
- Keep a good look out, the advice for single scullers and bow steers is to look round at least every five strokes.
- Be a member of SOTTRC
- Have approval of the Safety Officer and committee for the activity you are doing and the conditions you are doing it in
- Be signed off as competent to steer the kind of boat you are in. Authorised steers are "Master of the Vessel" and legally responsible for the navigation, safety and behaviour of the crew.
- Log all your outings out and in.
- Make sure your boats are properly lit
- Make sure all safety equipment is in working order. Eg: bow ball, heel restraints, hatch covers, lifejacket, cox box, launch safety kit
- Assess the risks before every outing.
- Single scullers should have attended a capsize drill.
- Launch drivers should always use a kill cord.
- Be able to perform an emergency stop, back down and spin
- Be familiar with the conventional warning calls: "Take a look [other boat]" – potential risk of collision • "Ahead [other boat]" – imminent risk of collision • "Hold it up" – precautionary stop • "Hold it hard!" – Emergency stop
- Don't take the launch safety bags, or anything in them.
Boat safety features
- Heel restraints. Check before you go afloat. They should be 5cm in length and not more than 7cm. The purpose is to allow you to extract your feet, should the boat capsize, without using your hands. For the same reason do not fasten the shoes up tight, or use shoes that are so small as to make it difficult to get your feet out.
- Hatch covers. Don't use a boat that does not have a correctly fitting hatch cover. If you remove the cover to put kit in a buoyancy chamber while on the water, make sure you refit it securely before continuing.
- Bow ball. Should be securely fastened to the bow of every boat.
- Phone. It's recommended that each boat has a mobile phone in a waterproof bag to summon help if needed.
Using the pontoon
- On launching, the bows of the boat should always face into the stream. Push off firmly, looking to get the bow out into the river so you are able to use the oars without contacting the pontoon.
- On landing, again the bows should be facing into the stream - the only exception is when the wind is blowing from the opposite direction, strongly enough to move the boat against the tide.
- Look at the tide and know which way to take the bow or stern before you get to the bottom of the ramp.
- If you launch off the shingle and the tide is coming in, make sure that you will be able to use the pontoon if the tide is up on your return. The bird scarer oar ends may need to be removed, for example.
- Be wary of waterfowl excrement, and wash it off if you get any on you. Help keep the hawk kite flying to deter the birds.
- Watch out for broken glass on the foreshore at low tide. Remove any that you do see to protect others.
Lighting and rowing at night
- Members rowing at night and using club equipment should have the permission of the committee, or be attended by a launch.
- Lights are required from dusk to dawn, much as they are for motor vehicles.
- White lights at both ends, visible through at least 180°.
- The bow light may flash
- Lights must be securely attached to the boat, not the crew.
- It is advisable to carry a spare light and have a means of fixing it to the boat.
- White or hi-vis kit is recommended.
- If you fall into the water, stay with your boat. Get as much of your body out of the water as possible, and swim the boat to the bank.
- Be familiar with the British Rowing procedure shown in this film.
- If you wade to the bank you are likely not to be wearing shoes/boots. Although you will be balancing one risk against another, try to avoid stepping on broken glass on the river bottom which is most likely to be outside pubs.
- Failure to see obstructions, such as the PLA navigation buoys, and other boats are likely causes of capsizes.
If you are involved in an accident
- If the boat gets damaged, fill in the damage log in the Fours bay
- If you see an accident, or even a near miss, por navigation or anti-social behaviour, report it to British Rowing using their online incident reporting tool. (You'll need a login which you get with British Rowing membership.)
- If you see an accident offer what help you can, without putting yourself at risk.
- if the situation requires it, dial 999 and ask for "Coastguard", or call Chiswick Lifeboat Station on 020 8995 5534
Assess risk before going out
Before every outing, consider the risks:
- Water conditions, specifically the height of the tide, rate of stream, wave size and wind. Be aware that wind conditons can change dramatically from one reach of the Tideway to the next
- Visibility - you should not go out if you cannot see Hammersmith Bridge from Linden House
- In icy conditions be careful about slipping, especially on the ramp and pontoon
- When the river is cold be especially cautious about falling in
Dove Pier is dangerous
Dove Pier is genuinely dangerous if you get washed onto it, particularly when the tide is strong. DO NOT TURN TOWARD DOVE PIER once you have passed Latymer's pontoon heading down-river towards Hammersmith Bridge. Turn the other way, onto Surrey bank to avoid the pier. Coming up river on the flood tide, aim to pass under Hammersmith Bride under the word BRIDGE. Be wary of the large green navigation buoy placed to mark Dove Pier, as well as the pier itself. This is the most prominent hazard near the club, but there are many others.
Other safety considerations
- Be careful of falling from the ramp, it has no handrail. Consider whether you need extra people to carry a boat down the ramp in high winds - especially if you are a single sculler.
- Be aware that the river contains some harmful organisms. Keep blisters or cuts covered and clean them thoroughly at the earliest opportunity
- Keep an eye on any cuts or grazes that seem to be infected and be prompt in seeking medical help. We have had a case of a "flesh-eating" bug some years ago.
- Consider wearing clothing to protect your calves from the slides which can cause some abrasions and cuts. Also, be aware it is possible to row, and even scull, in tight-fitting gloves.
- RowSafe indicates that the launches should contain: First Aid kit in a waterproof bag, checked monthly, a throw line, minimum toolkit and spares for the engine (if necessary), safety knife with rope cutter, foil blankets or "Bivvi bags" enough for the passenger load capacity of the launch (which is five), spare PFDs, length of spare rope, anchor and line appropriate for the conditions (if necessary), boathook, spare kill-cord for use in the event of the driver over board, audio signalling device, bailer, paddle, simple handholds fixed to the side of the launch to provide assistance to a person being rescued and to provide self help should the driver fall overboard. Many of the smaller items are in the launch safety bags and must not be removed.
If you experience 'flu like symptoms, again, be prompt in seeking medical help. Although very rare on the Tideway, it is possible to catch Leptospirosis an infection caught through contact with infected animal urine. After an incubation period that can vary from three days to three weeks, most patients suffer severe headaches, red eyes, muscle pains, fatigue, nausea and a temperature of 39C or above.
Rights and responsibilities
Safety considerations can merge with and overlap your responsibilities to the club and the club's responsibilities to you.

Puppets War have stated that the first unit of these steampunk ogres will be available from their webstore later this week, meaning you won't have long to wait to get your hands on them.
Do these Steam Ogres stoke your furnace?
