A very smiley & warm welcome to the class page of 3/4 Green.
In 3/4 Green we always try our best, work hard and have fun. On this page you will be able to find out about all the different things we get up to; we'll include lots of pictures for you, too. Enjoy!
Miss King
Today we became composers! We wrote a simple piece of music using the notes that we know on the recorder. We surprised ourselves by his fantastic our simple pieces sounded! We used the Charanga website to help us and it gave us a backing track too.
Today we spent the morning at the Grand Opera House Theatre watching an exciting and fun 3D Horrible Histories play all about 'Incredible Invaders'. It told the story of how the Romans, Saxons and Vikings have shaped the history of Britain. We also visited the Yorkshire Museum to see a few Viking and Saxon artefacts, and ate our lunch in the Museum Gardens. A fun day!
We have been learning about circuits in Science this half term. We did a science investigation this week to investigate which materials are conductors and insulators. We knew which materials conducted electricity because the bulb lit up.
Today we learned about Viking culture, including their gods, sagas, customs and food! So, we made porridge and added honey and dried fruits. Yum! It was a meal that the Vikings would have enjoyed too. They also enjoyed eating bread, meat, fish, oatcakes, nettle soup, cake and lots of other delicious things. We also learned a song called 'Loki the Joker' which tells the story of the Viking God, Loki.
Congratulations and well done to all the children in our class; your Viking homework projects are incredible! Thank you to parents and carers who have contributed time and energy into helping the children create such wonderful longboats, long houses, shields and weapons!
Don't forget, the showcase to come and see them: Thursday 26th May at 2:30pm
Today we have been learning about different forces in science. We had to find examples of pushes, pulls and twists. We also discussed gravity, friction and other forces that are constantly working all around us.
Today we got to go on a class trip to York St. John's University and the beautiful York Minster. It was to celebrate the end of our unit on Myths & Legends that we've been enjoying the last 4 weeks! We learnt about gargoyles and grotesques, including a story about Hassai, a Chinese dragon who became stone and was made to live in the Minster forever.
As some of the children are sitting SATs in the library (next door to our classroom) this week, we decided to be kind and take our D&T work outside this morning! We are making moving Viking toys using a simple cam system to make a moving part. We have finished the designs and are putting them together. Afterwards, we will evaluate our final product and see what we did right, and where we went wrong...
Maria, one of the Spanish students we've had in school, has been helping in our class for the last term. Today Maria led Spanish lesson for us; we learned lots of words we can use on our summer holidays!
Our final week in the classroom with our lovely Children's University students! We've had a wonderful time learning about different myths from around the world. We've been to England, Ancient Greece, Viking Norway and this week we rounded off by going to Ancient Egypt! We learned a little about the Egyptian gods and traditions, as well as mummification and the Egyptian afterlife.
We worked in pairs today to write a letter to a friend. We were writing as Jack (or Edric), the boy from our class story. It's all about Viking Raiders and is full of exciting action. It was fun to work in pairs with someone we're not used to working with; it's always interesting to share a brain with someone new!
Lesson 3 of our Children's University unit was all about Ancient Greece; we focussed on the legend of Hercules and learned all about his 12 labours. We enjoyed the quiz where we had to answer questions to make the longest string.
This week was our second Children's University lesson. The theme this week was Viking Gods, which was exciting for us because we've been doing lots of work on the Vikings this term.
Our Viking display is looking very empty at the moment, so this afternoon we painted, drew and coloured lots of different things to fill it up with some brilliant Viking creations. Watch this space...
Today we had the first lesson in our Children's University module on Myths & Legends. We learnt all about Robin Hood, which got us very excited as it's also the topic of our play! We made hats and got to take part in an archery competition with our paper arrows. This is the first of a number of lessons led by a wonderful group of University students, which will end in a mini trip for our class!
Phew! We've been so busy today! In Literacy this morning we performed a poem as a class. We have talked this week about how to perform and what makes a great performance - preparation for our play, we hope?!
Here are some of our finished water cycles. Don't they look fab?! The words can be removed so that the children can teach others and explain the water cycle to them.
For the last 5 weeks we have been lucky enough to have Rachel come and teach us cricket skills. It has been great fun, and we've learnt lots of new skills. We've been able to learn bowling, batting and fielding.
We started creating an appliqué felt water cycle this afternoon. So far we've cut out all our pieces and decided how we're going to arrange them... next week we'll start the fun of sewing it all together!
Tim Peake did a live interview from the ISS at 2pm today, and we tuned in to listen. He was asked lots of interesting questions by children around the country, and showed off some cool anti-gravity tricks. It was fun and we all learned a lot, even Miss King!
We have begun a piece of artwork for our myths and legends topic. As a year group, we're going to create lots of dragon scales and then put them together to make one big dragon! It's going to look great when it's finished. We're creating our scales using paper plates, and lots of different materials.
We've started our new topic this week: Myths and Legends! We began with the story of 'St. George and the Dragon.' We discovered that, while the dragon story may not be real, St. George was a real person. In fact he's the patron saint of England. That got us thinking about what saints are, and patron saints of other countries...
Today we spent our afternoon making some festive decorations to take home. We had a very pleasant time making cards, scratch art, banners and tree decorations.
We created some brilliant Christmas cards, using tissue paper and black paper to create a winter silhouette. Merry Christmas!
Today, when our superstars from Year 3/4 went off to Aroma Cafe, the rest of us had lots of fun playing maths games. Our class, plus half of Miss Cattley's class, had a great time solving puzzles, playing games and enjoying maths as a group.
We are writing our own non-chronological reports this week on an animal of our choice. On Tuesday morning we spent a lot of time using a combination of the iPads and lots of books to research information on our animals. It was one time we were very pleased that our classroom is right next door to the library; easy access to all sorts of facts!
A huge well done to Year 3/4 Green this week as we earned our second playtime credit, this time for achieving 100% behaviour - no verbal warnings this week! That's now 10 minutes extra playtime on the clock, but we're saving it up and aiming for 4 more credits to earn an hour of free play!
We have been doing quite a lot of art work based on Rousseau's 'Surprised!'. This week we have started to create some 3D art in a box based on this picture. You can see us starting our project in the pictures below. Finished products to follow later... Watch this space .
This week we have been looking at fables; traditional stories with a moral. Each of the groups had a familiar fable to read and perform together.
Today was a dress-down day to raise money for Children in Need. One of the children in our class, however, took it upon herself to raise some extra money by baking cupcakes and selling them to Year 3/4. Beth raised over £30 in just one day, and has earned herself the bronze charity fundraiser award from school! We're very proud of you, Beth.
Stuart and Russ came into school today to teach us all about road safety, thinking particularly about staying safe with larger vehicles. Russ taught us a lot in the classroom and then Stuart showed us the lorry cab. We even got to sit inside to see just how difficult it is for a driver to see you if you're crossing the road in front of them.
We read a few more chapters of our class book today, including the chapters where some of the treasured golden tickets are found. Each group then chose one of the characters and acted out finding the golden ticket, and then being interviewed by the press about it! I wonder if you can guess which character each group chose to use in their drama using just the pictures: the obnoxious Mike Teavee, the gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde, the spoiled Veruca Salt or the gluttonous Augutus Gloop?
We looked at the eggs we had placed into different drinks today...! We were very surprised by some of the results. Below are the pictures of the eggs with their labels so you can see what happened. Each time, we have placed it next to the egg that was in the water each time so you can compare, as the eggs from the water and milk didn't change at all.
A huge well done to Year 3/4 Green this week as we earned our first playtime credit for achieving 100% attendance this week That's 5 minutes extra playtime on the clock, but we're saving it up and aiming for 5 more credits to earn an hour of free play!
Today we had the best lesson, ever! We spent our DT lesson evaluating different types of chocolate, and describing them. We chose which was our favourite from: dark, milk and white. Milk chocolate was the big winner, with very few children even enjoying the dark chocolate! But still, we all agreed that it was a really great lesson - it's not every day your teacher gives you chocolate and calls it 'work', is it?!
We finished the lesson with a taste test challenge. Each child was given a cheap chocolate and an expensive brand to try. They were fed by their partner while they had their eyes closed and had to tell which one was which... We all got it right! It seems we're big chocolate fans in 3/4K...
We are investigating how different drinks affect the enamel on our teeth, using eggshells. Here we are, measuring out the liquids we're going to be testing: coke, diet coke, water, milk, orange juice, lucozade and coffee. We will find out how they affect the eggshell, and this will tell us how it affects our teeth.

UPDATE: Buddies and household of a Toogoolawah teen who drowned while kayaking off the coast of Fraser Island have shared their love for him as they concern terms with his death.
Shawn Voglers body was discovered on Sunday afternoon after an enormous search by emergency services.
His kayak capsized on Saturday about 3.30 pm and both authorities and the RACQ Rescue Helicopter were employed after he failed to resurface.
The precious teenager had a love for the outdoors and activities such as 4WDing.
His former school, Toogoolawah State High School, took to Facebook on Monday to share a basic message of mourning.
Vale Shawn Vogler. Our ideas are with your household and good friends, the school said.
The school also shared picturesphotos of Shawn and friends from their 2013 official at Woodlands of Marburg and community members shared their condolence messages.
Friends have actually now launched a Gofundme account to assistto assist Shawns household.
In a program of how much he was liked, members of the neighborhood contributed more than $2000 to the account by Monday afternoon.
Organisers of the fund described how the holiday on Fraser Island developed into a problem.
The kids went out for a casual kayak as everybody does when on vacations, they stated.
The kids were both knocked from their kayaks. It deeply saddens us that sadly Shawn never appeared after being knocked off.
Were going to miss you Shawny.
Those who donated likewise shared their sorrow at Shawns death.
There are no words or actions to make this time any easier for your household, one donater said.
My heart and all my assistance is with you all at this time.

IT IS a victory for people-power after plans to build a Grand Designs-style home were refused.
Kent-based developer Alan Dawes had put in the plans for a house on land he owns off Britannia Way in Gosport.
We are all very delighted. There was robust response against the application from residents, councillors and the officers.John Hudson
But people living near the site, which is a former cordite magazine, were opposed to both the original plans and an amended version.
In a desperate bid to stop the development, residents banded together to buy a piece of land next to the site from Barratt David Wilson Homes, with the aim of making access difficult should permission be granted.
But it was turned down unanimously by Gosport Borough Council planners.
At a regulatory board meeting at the council, protester John Hudson gave a deputation on behalf of more than 100 people against the plans.
Speaking after the meeting, Mr Hudson added: 'We're all delighted.
'There was a robust response against the application from residents, councillors and the officers.'
More than 65 public comments were received on the amended plans with the majority objecting.
One of the main reasons people opposed the plan was to protect wildlife at the site including badgers, deer and great crested newts.
Mr Hudson said: 'The area has been preserved for wildlife by the council and we were keen to keep it as a nature reserve.'
Speaking during the meeting, council leader Mark Hook praised the residents for banding together and buying the land.
It is now the third time Mr Dawes has seen his plans for the modern, three-bedroom eco-home rejected.
Last October, the council refused the plans which were refused again by an independent government inspector following an appeal.
When contacted by The News, Mr Dawes did not want to comment.

A warm welcome back to students and staff.
We kick off our busy 10 week term with Showcase Day! Next Thursday (July 27), we are delighted to host our Year 10 Cannington Community College and Yule Brook College students. Teachers at Sevenoaks will spend time with our transitioning students helping them learn a little bit more about the College and the courses we offer. Year 11 and Year 12 students will continue to attend their classes as normal; however, we will also be entertaining feeder school students who will have the chance to get to know how our College operates as well as meet teachers and staff. A big thank you to all of the students who will act as guides on Showcase Day. I really appreciate your help to ensure that this day is a success and that our visiting students enjoy their Sevenoaks experience.
We are also very pleased to be hosting a Year 10 Parent Information Evening at 6.00 pm in the College lecture theatre on Wednesday 2 August for the parents and guardians of students who will be attending Sevenoaks in 2018. This important session will provide parents with information about the College, our courses, Western Australian Certificate of Education and Vocational Education and Training requirements as well as career and further studies and training opportunities for Sevenoaks students. I urge all parents and guardians of Year 10 students who will be coming to Sevenoaks next year to attend this event.
Next month (August 10) we are delighted to be hosting the Minister of Education and Training and Workforce Development the Honourable Sue Ellery MLC. I am looking forward to speaking with the Minister and showing her our impressive modern facilities. I am sure students will also enjoy meeting our new Minister as she walks around the campus.
Importantly, many Year 11 and Year 12 students will once again be involved in completing the On-line Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) which will occur in week 8 of this term. Students who are required to sit these assessments will be notified prior to week 8. Also in week 8 students who have returned their meningococcal vaccination forms will be receiving their injections. The College lecture theatre will be the venue for these vaccinations.
A busy term three 'Stay on Campus' events calendar has been organised by Mrs Marriott, our Student Services Co-ordinator. This term there are many opportunities for students to have some fun with friends at our fantastic lunch time dance sessions, RUOK activities, Cookies and Cupcake morning teas, Fruit and Veg delicious lunches or by participating in our Year 12 Year Book friendship photos on August 1. I hope students get involved in some of these great events and enjoy their time here on campus.
On September 1 a number of Student Guild members will be travelling to Parliament House for a tour and lunch hosted by our local member of parliament the Honourable Bill Johnston MLA, Minister for Mines and Petroleum, Commerce and Industrial Relations, Electoral Affairs and Asian Engagement. Students learn a great deal from having the chance to attend our state parliament as well as speak with Minister Johnston who has hosted our Guild members over a number of years.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the City of Canning for working with our guild students over a number of weeks to help develop their public speaking and community engagement skills through a program entitled 'Loud and Clear'. This program has helped develop the confidence and speaking skills of our guild members who will have their final public speaking session on Friday July 28.
I am sure that I do not need to remind students, especially our Year 12 students, that working hard, completing homework, setting goals and meeting deadlines is incredibly important this term. Attendance is the key. Please make sure you attend every zone. Don't forget that your teachers and Advocates are here for you. If you have any questions, if you have missed some work or you are not sure how to complete a task or if you need some help, go and speak with your teacher.
I look forward to chatting with students as I walk around the College and when visiting classrooms.
I hope you have an enjoyable and successful term three.

Cider has long been perceived as nothing more than a beer-hater's beer substitute: sweeter relief from a brew's watery blandness or intense hoppiness. But now it's being recognized for its true mouth-whetting merits, and a fresh offering of craft ciders that nod to classic European styles has cropped up at refined restaurants — like Bergamot (118 Beacon Street, Somerville, 617.576.7700), where Trabanco, a Spanish variety from Asturias, issold by the glass. The Independent (75 Union Square, Somerville, 617.440.6022) serves Maine's Downeast Cider on tap. And Hungry Mother (233 Cardinal Medeiros Avenue, Cambridge, 617.499.0090) and Local 149 (149 P Street, Boston, 617.269.0900) are two of about 40 bars and restaurants that offer Wunderkind from Bantam Cider, a local tipple launched in January by two Cambridge women who use Massachusetts apples for the cider and produce it at a nearby winery. Sounds hard to resist.

Our Values
Wagg understands how important your pet is to your family because we're a family owned and managed business. Our family dogs come into the office with us and help us make our decisions – in between cuddles and causing havoc!
At Wagg we think your pets deserve delicious, great quality food. We believe dogs do best when they're fed proper quality pet food like Wagg. We implement a range of Food Safety and Quality Systems and we have lots of taste testers on hand to make sure our standards are kept high!
We don't blind you with science. But you can rest assured we've got that side of things covered. We care about your pet and work with our in-house nutritionist, Emma, to ensure all Wagg foods have a balance of everything your pet needs. All our foods are formulated with a range of essential vitamins and minerals to keep your pets fit and healthy whatever life stage they're at.
Product development
When we create new pet foods we invite volunteers to taste test for us. The animals we work with are mainly our family pets or those of our Wagg fans. All taste testers remain in their normal surroundings eating out of their favourite bowls while they try the new formulas and they choose whether they want to eat them or not. They don't have to wear napkins or make a reservation.
Wagg does not carry out, approve of or fund invasive animal testing.

Snapshot of HOPE
Marcos Antonio Hernández is a beneficiary of Project HOPE's Vulnerable Youth Program (Alerta Joven) and Order of Malta Clinic. He now studies software development at Instituto Tecnológico de las Americas (ITLA). His Snapshot of HOPE photo essay, Welcome to the Order of Malta Clinic, captures the comfort and appreciation families feel when receiving health services at their community clinic.
The clinic is a lifeline to families in the community. Like this young mother and baby, I once came to the clinic as a beneficiary with my mother.
The Order of Malta Clinic has many merits of excellence. In this clinic, many children come with their mothers.
A mother with her baby leaves the Order of Malta Clinic after receiving health services.
Part of the mother baby care at the clinic includes outreach visits by clinic staff to check on mothers and their newborns. Outreach coordinators visit new moms in their homes, during the first 10 days after birth, to give reassurance and make sure all is well with mom and baby.

At least 150 rapes, murders, and other crimes since 1993 could have been prevented if states had taken DNA samples from non-violent criminals before they moved on to more serious crimes, a new Justice Department study says. USA Today reports that the study, provided yesterday to Congress, found that local police and crime labs have evidence from more than 540,000 unsolved crimes – including 52,000 homicides and 169,000 rapes – that has not been subjected to DNA or other tests that could help identify suspects. Local agencies may not perform tests because of personnel and funding shortages and a lack of understanding about DNA technology.
The report was done by Washington State University and a Tacoma, Wash., law firm that represents a DNA equipment manufacturer. It outraged women's and victims' rights groups, which called on Congress to pass a proposal to increase spending on DNA tests and expand the reach of the nation's DNA database.

On August 10, Jessica Alba stops by the "George Lopez Tonight" and talks about some of the things she is eating this time around during her pregnancy. Alba is definitely ready to pop soon and is eager to see this new baby that will enter her family's life.
Jessica Alba Talks Pregnancy Cravings With George Lopez and her have to have food is watermelon. She told Lopez, "I love watermelon, I dream about it I really do, I get them in quarters because it's easier for me to get to it. I cut that thing up and eat it and don't even care if I have a stomach ache after."
As she continued to express her love for it, "I like it before I was pregnant but this is like I have to have it or I'll turn into someone psychotic. If you don't give me my watermelon right now, it's bad for you."
Alba talks about how her daughter Honor Marie wants to have a little brother named Sophia. That is definitely a funny name for a boy. Alba says, "She's obsessed with these characters called Pinkalicious and Olivia and they have little brothers so she wants a little brother named Sophia. I don't know where that came from. I told her that I think if we had a little brother he'd have a really tough life if his name was Sophia."

This week we were lucky to interview Linda Weber, from Weber's Wood Creations.
Along with her husband Mike, Linda has run Weber's Wood Creations since 2013.
In this interview with Bitbond, Linda told us how they got started and how they have been progressing so far.
We also found out how she first heard about bitcoin and Bitbond, as well as how the loan she has requested will help Weber Wood Creations grow even more!
You can invest in Linda's loan for 6 more days. Don't miss it!
Bitbond: Thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us. Could you start off by telling us what your relationship to bitcoin is and how you first heard of it?
Hi, thank you!
Sure! My husband and I own a custom wood working business and we were searching for a way to acquire working capital in order to continue working on growth and expansion this year.
Like so many other small business owners out there, during these first few years it's a little tough trying to obtain a small business loan as you establish yourself. So off we went researching the web.
Low and behold we found Bitbond!
When we learned of bitcoin through our own research, it was an obvious choice to reach out to peers who may be looking for investment opportunity.
Bitbond: Cool. What do you think the future holds for bitcoin? Is it the modern-day equivalent of the internet or will it fall flat on its face?
So far, it's been very user friendly for me to use and seems to be uncomplicated.
As I am a first-time borrower from bitcoin I can't speak more specifically, but I do believe with a growing population of young investors and entrepreneurs bitcoin has the great potential to be quite successful.
It's nice to know as an entrepreneur you can rely on your peers, friends and family to help with your success!
As a borrower, your peers see first-hand how quickly your business is taking off, so it's an obvious excitement for growth for them to invest into your company.
I'm pretty excited about Bitbond!
Bitbond: What do you hope to achieve with your loan, and why did you choose Bitbond?
Well, we actually have somewhat of a unique story!
We actually started our woodworking in 2013 while living abroad in Southern Spain while I was stationed in the Air Force, but since then I have retired and we moved back to the states.
In 2014 we opened our doors here in Texas and officially became Weber's Wood Creations, LLC (a veteran owned company) and have worked with our clients to create custom items and creations that are unique and one of a kind.
One of our most exciting moments was actually opening our Etsy shop online in 2014!
Our sales have taken off and we know that if we get our products out into other sales marketplaces they will take off the same as well.
We doubled our sales from 2014 to 2015 and intend to do the same this year 2016.
This year we are really excited to get many new ideas and creations out to even more potential clients.
We've been working hard to line up a small vendor booth that we should be opening within the next month, placing more leverage on our surrounding local area.
We are hopeful to not only get our vendor booth up, running and successful, but double our sales from last year!
Bitbond: What are the benefits of a bitcoin loan compared to a conventional equivalent like a bank loan?
For our situation, since we are entrepreneurs and it's somewhat difficult at times for a new businesses to obtain a business loan, the benefit of being able to obtain a loan from bitcoin is certainly there!
Additionally, the benefit of potential savings in paying lower fees as a borrower from bitcoin rather than borrowing conventionally.
Not to mention, it's a win for our peers as investors!
Bitbond: What is your favourite feature on Bitbond? What features do you think are missing?
I'm still navigating around the site, but so far it's nice to see the real-time stats of who has invested or placed a bid on our loan, and where we are for funding.
I look forward to investing into bitcoin in the future.
Bitbond: As a business owner or an employee, does your place of work accept bitcoin? If not, what do are the chances of that changing?
Currently, we do not accept bitcoin; but that is certainly something for us to consider for in the future.
Bitbond: What would you want potential investors to know about your loan?
That we are a family owned business who absolutely loves what we do. This isn't a job to us…it's more of a passion.
Not only do we start with creativity, but we end with creativity and constantly thriving for a new creation of some sort!
We are really excited about our expansion this year and have been planning for it; unfortunately like many other entrepreneurs have come across a few little hurdles with obtaining the funding upfront to do so.
Given our success over the nearly past two years we know we are moving the right way (UP), it's just getting the working capital to get a little boost for the beginning of this coming expansion for Weber's Wood Creations, LLC.
Like our moto: If you can imagine it, we can create it!
Linda, thank you for the great interview!
You still can invest at Linda's loan!
6 days to go!

Secondhand Smoke Facts
No exposure to smoke is safe!
Secondhand smoke is the tobacco smoke that is exhaled by someone actively smoking or given off by a burning tobacco product, which is involuntarily or passively inhaled by someone who is not smoking.
There is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke according to a
2006 report from the U.S. Surgeon General
, even brief exposure causes damage that is known to cause illness and cancer.
The EPA has identified secondhand smoke as a Class A carcinogen. This is the most toxic class of chemicals which are known to cause cancer in humans.
There are more than 480,000 deaths each year in the US caused by cigarette use and exposure to secondhand smoke.
Exposure to secondhand smoke costs about $5.6 billion annually in lost productivity, according to
The Health Consequences of Smoking—50 Years of Progress: A Report of the Surgeon General

Other Secondhand Smoke on College Campuses Resources
Stanford Outdoor Tobacco Smoke Study
Rates of secondhand smoke exposure high among college students
(Science Daily)
Report from Repace and Associates and Stanford University on the Measurements of Outdoor Secondhand Smoke Exposure on College Campuses
The Repace/Stanford University report, "Measurements of Outdoor Air Pollution from Secondhand Smoke on the UMBC Campus," dispels the common misconception that smoking outdoors can be ignored because smoke immediately dissipates into the environment.
Repace Associates Fact Sheet on Secondhand Smoke
Research from Repace and associates addresses indoor and outdoor exposure to secondhand smoke. Breathing secondhand smoke causes morbidity and mortality from cancer, heart disease, and respiratory disease, as well as acute sensory irritation. It causes the premature death of hundreds of thousands of nonsmokers worldwide. Secondhand smoke cannot be controlled by ventilation, air cleaning, or spatial separation of smokers from nonsmokers.

Meaning: a shooter of the bow and arrow.
See 1 Chronicles 10:3.
The art of archery is very ancient (Genesis 21:20; 27:3). Saul was wounded by the Philistine archers (1 Samuel 31:3). The phrase "breaking the bow" (Hos. 1:5; Jeremiah 49:35) is equivalent to taking away one's power, while "strengthening the bow" is a symbol of increasing it (Genesis 49:24).
The Persian archers were famous among the ancients (Isaiah 13:18; Jeremiah 49:35; 50:9, 14, 29, 42.

Halloween was very fun this year. Owen was much more "into" it....especially when people gave him candy:) We limited his intake, although mommy did let him have a piece of a Kit Kat at Aunt Jill's house. Owen was a trooper with getting in and out of his costume and in and out of the car at all the stops we had to make. He also enjoyed carving the pumpkin, although one of his new favorite words is "EWWWW!" His costume was Brewster from Chuggington....which is the train show on Disney. It is absolutely one of his favorite shows! We had to get some on DVR because it's not on on Saturday mornings and he just doesn't understand that:)
Here are some pics:
Getting ready to carve the pumpkin with Daddy.
He thought he was pretty hot stuff when we let him sit on the table!
"EWWWW Daddy! Don't make me touch it!!"
Helping....but really just looking:)
Finally decided to try it out.....and then we couldn't keep him out of it! He did prefer to use the spoon though:)
Proud boys with their finished product.
Looks much cooler with the lights out! And Tony did that all by hand....just looked at a picture of Elmo off the internet!
In his costume.....the sun was in his eyes:) Cutest train on the block!

At Richmond, Texas, former USC golfer Kristy McPherson finished a 5-under 67 in fading sunlight Sunday to take a one-stroke lead in the LPGA Tour Championship before the second round was suspended because of darkness.
McPherson was 8 under, one shot ahead of Jiyai Shin - the South Korean star who had two holes to play. Lorena Ochoa, dueling with Shin for the player of the year title, was two strokes back in a tie for third with one hole to play.

Amazing serviceI had been looking for a particular fitflop from many shops and have never used the Internet before. The ordering was much easier than I imagined, although I did have a problem finalising the payment, but this was more to do with my bank card that Shoetique. I then rang the freephone number and gave the details. The lady was very helpful and my order arrived within 2 days. I will certainly use the Company again

Britain's National Health Service – lauded by the political left as the "envy of the world" – is paying up to 75x the price for medicines, and double the price for goods such as toilet paper and syringes, according to a new, government-commissioned review.
Lord Carter's review, which looked at 22 hospitals across Britain, revealed that liver tablets that cost 2p each in some hospitals, were costing others up to £1.50. The same level of wasteful overspending was identified in items like syringes, aprons, and toilet paper, the latter of which cost some hospitals £66 for a box, whereas some hospitals paid just £30.
The BBC reports:
He also identified huge inefficiencies in the way staff were managed, with one hospital losing £10,000 a month through workers claiming too much leave.
The report, which will be published in full later, will also say hospitals need to make better use of staff through flexible working and better rostering.
Meanwhile, better use of medicines could also have a substantial impact, the efficiency review said.
And states that the savings identified by Lord Carter include:
- By 2019-20, the review believes £5bn a year could be saved across staffing, medicines, everyday items and estates.
- Some £2bn of that could come from changes to improving the way rosters are run and making sure non-productive time such as training and annual leave is better managed.
- Meanwhile £1bn each could be saved from the bills of medicines, estates and procurement of everyday goods.
- The NHS uses 500,000 different lines of everyday items with the price between similar goods varying by over 35% compared to 1% to 2% in other health systems.
Rob Webster, chief executive of the NHS Confederation responded to the findings by saying, "The potential savings need to be tested and developed with the wider NHS, so that final savings targets due to be handed to the NHS from September are owned by the whole service."
The news follows a general election campaign in which parties clashed over the state of the National Health Service. While no other party leader dared to point out the flaws, UKIP leader Nigel Farage took the debate head on, writing in a book launched during the campaign:
"I know how sacred the NHS is to the people of Britain; everyone is frightened that it will be taken away. But the cost of that fear is that the political classes are terrified of even criticising it. The standard of debate about the NHS on programmes such as Question Time is risible.
"No one — whether Tory, Labour or Liberal Democrat — will have anything but praise for the doctors and nurses of the NHS. Then they get a round of applause and that is it. It is as if you cannot support something and criticise it at the same time.
"I have now had three near-death experiences — cancer, an accident and a plane crash — and I've seen the best and worst of the NHS. I am better qualified to criticise and defend our health care system than most politicians."

To install ducted evaporative air-conditioning is a major purchase, which typically costs from $3,000 to $6,000 (depending on size, location, controls and other factors). Hence it is worth making sure that your money is spent as wisely as possible. Although you can't be guaranteed a successful installation, the following tips should lead to a satisfactory outcome. These tips are of a general nature, and it is up to you to ensure they apply in your case.
CENTRIFUGAL or AXIAL fan?
A CENTRIFUGAL fan is a drum shaped fan. It is generally:
HOWEVER they:
An AXIAL fan is a propeller shaped fan. It is generally:
HOWEVER it is:
For a large cooler I favour a centrifugal fan, as the installation is more likely to be successful. However there are some (particularly the smaller) axial coolers on the market that are satisfactory. (refer for instance to the COOLMAX )
SHOULD I HAVE CELDEK or
WOODWOOL pads?
CELDEK pads are manufactured from corrugated paper with a binder.
WOODWOOL, (often referred to as Aspen), is manufactured by shredding timber. The better quality woodwool is made from Poplars grown above the snow line. Woodwool pads need to be firmly and evenly packed.
I recommend CELDEK pads, except for those few areas where the poor quality water causes a problem for CELDEK.
THICKNESS of PADS
Pad thickness is vital to get good performance. CELDEK pads in conventionally designed coolers should preferably be at least 75mm thick, if the airflow is even, or 90 to 100 mm thick otherwise. WOODWOOL pads should be generally be at least 50 mm thick.
The most important criterion is resistance to corrosion. The best from this point of view are:
Coolers with a large amount of powder coated or even galvanised steel where it can be readily splashed should generally be avoided.
To develop a high quality evaporative cooler requires a considerable investment in research and development. Generally only a large manufacturer can support this. Most small manufacturers do not have the expertise to do the testing needed to ensure a product performs as expected. Speak with your friends who have evaporative cooling, or ask to see testimonials from satisfied owners.
It is the contractor or dealer who will make or break an installation. A good unit, installed by an inexperienced contractor will not satisfy you. Among other things, check:
For decades the standard cooler had a two-speed motor, a pump switch, and a continuous bleed system. These features make a simple reliable cooler. However, the number of features and options available today can be very confusing. The following comments are my personal opinions, based on my extensive but not exhaustive experience.
This has become the standard for residential units. The main benefit is that the minimum speed is less than the minimum on a two-speed unit. This is highly desirable at night, as a two-speed unit can often be too cold when it is on, even though the house will quickly heat up when you turn the cooler off. In addition, a variable speed cooler can be set to give exactly the cooling you want.
Electronic thermostats are available to vary the fan speed automatically, and switch the pump and fan on and off. Although those currently available still sometimes need a minor adjustment of the setting, they do a good job of maintaining comfort. Some contractors supply a mechanical thermostat in lieu of the electronic thermostat, however they are not as useful, as they don't vary the fan speed, or control the pump. On a wall or window mounted cooler automatic control is not usually necessary.
These are flaps in the discharge of the fan, or in the duct, which open when the fan starts, and close when the fan is switched off. They reduce the loss of heat through the cooler when it is not working. This eliminates the need to cover the cooler with a bag at the end of summer. Some types have a latch to keep them closed and eliminate 'chattering' in gusty conditions. Some of these fold out of the direct air stream when working, and hence cause no loss of airflow. Others remain in the direct airflow and hence do cause a small loss of airflow.
When water evaporates the salt that was in that water doesn't, and builds up in the cooler. This leads to increased corrosion of metal components and a reduction in cooling performance. There is also a build up of dust and pollens washed out of the pads, or in the water supply. The traditional way of getting rid of that salt is with a constant bleed off of water. However, more bleed off is needed in hotter weather, or when the supply water is saltier. To match the bleed to the need, measurement of the salinity of the water in the cooler can be used to control how much water is discharged, and when it is discharged. These systems work well in most areas, but for very hard water, they can use more water than is economically feasible. Some have a setting to allow a higher concentration of salt in those areas. (However if the higher setting is used, the cooler will need to be cleaned more frequently) for a small cooler salinity control is not economically justified, and a traditional bleed system is satisfactory.
When the cooler is not being used for a period of time, algae and similar things can grow in the tank. To prevent this some manufacturers offer a drain system. When the cooler is not going to run for a time, the tank empties and the water supply is shut off. Check that the manufacturer has included a timer, to ensure that you don't lose water every time the cooler fan or pump switches off.

Nursing documentation does it againOctober 17, 2017
Let's face it. Nursing documentation can get you in trouble with your supervisor, make a surveyor faint, make a lawyer rich or make blog readers laugh. I'm going for the last here. What follows are actual examples I found after a quick search. Honest.

Kate lives in a time afraid of magic. Alone in the world with only her cat Taggle for company, she makes 'lucky' charms to sell, although her unusual gift marks her out in a place where witches are still burned.
When Kate's village falls on bad times, she's accused of practising dark magic. Scared for life, she turns to a stranger. But he has a plan more dangerous than she could ever have dreamed. It's up to Kate to carve good out of evil.
The world Plain Kate lives in is tough. Not only does she have to put up with the constant threat of being chased by the locals for the crime of being a witch and deal with being tricked into giving up her shadow by a stranger which makes her look even more suspect she has to do it all on her own. Until her father died from the 'witch's fever' she had a relatively safe life following in her fathers footsteps by carving wood, a skill Kate is highly gifted at. So gifted that some people don't believe it's natural. So when her father is no longer there to protect her she has to try and make it on her own by selling her wooden charms at the market.
Kate is definitely a survivor, she is faced with so many hardships but never gives up. She has her vulnerabilities, her main one being loneliness, but you get the impression that she will cope anyway. I did feel sorry for her through most of the story because it felt like she would never get a break and was destined to live out such a hard life. I was so glad when she finally got a friend in the form of her cat, Taggle. I absolutely loved Taggle and wish I had a cat as brave and funny as him. He likes to put up this nonchalant exterior but you can tell that he really cares deeply for Kate.
I also really like the world of the Roamers that Kate ends up joining for a spell. The Roamers are like gypsies that move from one market to another selling and bartering their horses and other trinkets. One roamer Kate befriends is Drina, a fun and kooky girl that is determined to help Kate find her shadow who I really liked. There was also the baddie,Linay, the stranger that had stolen Kate's shadow. In the end I think we were supposed to understand why he did some of the horrible things he thought he had to do, but for me I never did. I suppose I could understand why his anger marred his judgement but I never felt pity for him like I think I was supposed to.
I really did enjoy following Kate on her journey and exploring the world she lives in. At times it felt like it was a constant battle for Kate to get people to realise that she is not a witch and I did feel myself getting exasperated at some of the characters ignorance and cowardice sometimes. In parts it was quite a dark read especially when it came to the menace of certain characters and their resulting actions but this is what gave the story depth and made you feel the threat that so much as a pointed finger and the slightest whisper of witch can bring about. This story definitely has the feel of some of the darker original fairy tales mixed with Russian folklore. Whilst it does feel like it is predominately written for older children I believe it will still hold the interest of adults and be able to capture their imagination just as much.
Random Passage: Plain Kate was thinking of witches. How in bad times people were more eager to buy her objarka, but more inclined to take a step back, to crook their fingers at her when they thought she wasn't looking, or when they were sure she was. How they wanted the witchcraft to protect them, but how they looked too for a witch to blame. It didn't matter that there was no magic in her blade, people saw it in there. They saw witchcraft in her skill, witch marks in her mismatched eyes, her bad luck, her long shadow.

Company and managerial control in a corporation rests at many levels and has important implications for personnel and productivity equally, with control forming the essential hyperlink between desired effects and actual procedures. Employers must balance passions such as reducing wage constraints with a maximization of labor efficiency in order to accomplish a profitable and beneficial employment relationship. The primary ways for employers to find personnel and for folks to find employers are via careers listings in newspaper publishers (via grouped advertising) and online, called job boards also. Employers and job hunters also often find the other person via professional recruitment consultants which get a commission from the employer to find, screen and choose suitable candidates. However, a report shows that such consultants may well not be reliable when they neglect to use established ideas in selecting employees. A far more traditional approach has been a "Help Desired" register the establishment (usually hung on the screen or door or put on the store counter-top). Analyzing different employees could be very laborious but establishing different ways to review their skill to evaluate their skills within the field can be best through assessments. Company and potential worker commonly take the excess step to getting to know the other person through the procedure of appointment.

I've just bought this little beauty from Amazon, it's a USB dongle that was original purpose was to receive DVB-T signals. The guys at NooElec have made some neat modifications to the stick to make it more suitable for use as an SDR receiver. The Mini 2 uses a brand-new tuner IC, the R820T2 made by Rafael Micro, to provide increased sensitivity and improved SNR. This custom NooElec SDR USB dongle tuned for SDR usage, including upgraded crystal, capacitors and inductors compared to generic devices. It has a frequency capability of approximately 25MHz-1750MHz and you can extend the range further by combining it with an upconverter that NooElec also make called 'Ham it up'. The 'Ham it up' accessory turns the dongle in to a DC to 1.766 ghz receiver, how great is that?
I'm going to use my one as a discrete (hidden from the wife!) receiver that I can use when I'm sitting at the computer in the lounge 😉 Shhh don't tell her!

Social Smokers Aren't Hooked on Nicotine, Just Smoking
There's a species of smoker among us that is common yet poorly understood. Their habitat consists of parties, barbecues, and the sidewalks outside bars and restaurants. They prefer to scrounge for their cigarettes, and if they do buy a pack, they're apt to nurse it for a week or more. You may hear them say, "I'm not a smoker," or "Only on weekends."
These are "social smokers"—and there are more of them than you might think.
Smoking is often characterized as an all-or-nothing activity—on doctor's office questionnaires it's usually a yes-or-no question, for instance—but by some estimates, anywhere from one-fifth to one-third of adults who smoke don't light up every day. While some of these so-called nondaily smokers smoke regularly but sparingly, up to 30% likely fall into the social-smoker category.
Hard numbers are difficult to come by, in part because the definition of a social smoker is so vague. A 2007 study of social smoking among college students—one of very few that have been published on the subject—found the term was used "loosely and inconsistently," even among researchers. But most people know a social smoker when they see one. They smoke occasionally, almost always in groups, and more often than not while drinking alcohol. By definition, they do not consider themselves addicted to nicotine. Many started smoking casually in high school or college but never graduated to a daily habit.
"If I'm out drinking, or hanging out with people who are smoking, then I usually get the urge to smoke," says Vickie, 45, from New York City. "But I might smoke Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then not smoke for a week."
Vickie's friend Katherine, 46, has smoked intermittently since her college days, but she limits it to specific times and places. "I don't think I've ever had a cigarette before 7 p.m.," she says. "I have smoked alone, but very, very rarely, and I don't think I've bought a pack in 20 years. I know that I could put it down at any time." Though she sometimes goes for months without smoking, she may smoke a whole pack in a weekend if some old friends are in town or if she's on vacation. "Smoking is a small indulgence that I sometimes do," says Katherine, "sort of like eating too much ice cream."
Social smoking is often compared with social drinking—that is, the social smoker is to the "real" smoker what the casual weekend drinker is to the alcoholic. Even if social smokers (or drinkers) go a little overboard sometimes, their behavior is still fundamentally different.
Social drinking is an "important analogy," says Saul Shiffman, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh who specializes in studying occasional smokers. One of the "hallmarks" of social drinkers (the vast majority of those who drink alcohol), says Shiffman, is that they drink in specific settings. "They'll drink at dinner with friends, they'll drink in the evenings on weekends—but they don't drink in the car, or first thing in the morning," he explains. "It's the confinement of use to particular situations that marks someone who uses a drug but not in an addictive way."
Social smoking is a trend
While the overall number of smokers in the United States is dropping, the proportion of occasional smokers appears to be on the rise. Government surveys show that the number of nondaily smokers rose 40% between 1998 and 2001, according to Shiffman. News reports and studies have also provided anecdotal evidence that social smoking is increasing, especially among young people.
The reasons for this apparent trend haven't been fully explained. Some suggest that the growing awareness of health risks, the stigma surrounding smoking (which may explain why the smokers interviewed for this article didn't want their full names used), and the smoking bans in public places are causing heavy smokers to cut back. Vickie, for instance, wouldn't be caught dead smoking around her two young children, and the restrictions against smoking at work or inside bars and restaurants are often enough to extinguish her urges, she says—especially in the wintertime.
Another popular theory is that social smokers, unlike social drinkers, don't really exist. Social smokers, the thinking goes, are low-level addicts either in denial or on the brink of addiction. It's a bit like the old saying about there being two types of motorcyclists: those who have had accidents and those who are going to. And research indicates that there may be something to this: In the recent study of college students, 60% of the students surveyed who denied that they were smokers did identify themselves as social smokers; roughly 10% of these alleged nonsmokers in fact smoked at least every other day.
The denial theory may be a bit simplistic, however. We're accustomed to thinking of everyone who smokes as an addict—nicotine is known to be one of the most addictive drugs, after all—but according to the most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health, of the 40.9 million adults over the age of 18 who had smoked a cigarette in the previous month, only about 60% could be considered dependent on nicotine.
The remaining 40% includes social smokers, as well as a group known as "chippers," a term originally used to describe intermittent, nonaddicted users of heroin. These smokers, who remain something of a medical mystery, have smoked up to a pack a week for years, or even decades, without becoming dependent on nicotine. When they stop smoking for a day or two, they suffer none of the cravings, irritability, and other withdrawal symptoms that torment addicted smokers. It's unclear why this is; it may be that the way their brains are hardwired leaves them less susceptible to addiction.
Not all social smokers are chippers, but there is certainly some overlap between the groups. Katherine has noticed that she has always had a different relationship with cigarettes than some of her friends who smoke more heavily. "Even when I've had 10 cigarettes in a night, I don't think I've ever thought, 'I better not do this because I'll get addicted,' which drives real smokers crazy," she says. "Even when I first tried cigarettes, in high school, I could see that for my best friend smoking was a different thing than it was for me. Her smoking kept increasing, and I just was never like that."
Addicted to smoking, not nicotine?
Social smokers may not be addicted to nicotine, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're not hooked on smoking—whether it's the ritual itself, the sensation of the smoke, or the nicotine high it provides. "These folks take nicotine for its psychoactive effects, not to stave off withdrawal," says Shiffman. "But that's not to say that they don't come to need it in some other way."
Lacey, 23, a recent college grad in Athens, Ga., was a "real" smoker for four years; she traded daily smoking for social smoking when she was 20. She didn't have any trouble scaling back—she smoked more out of boredom and habit than nicotine addiction, she says—but she has found her social smoking at bars surprisingly hard to kick. "It's been difficult," she says. "It's a really big habit, but I do think the nicotine has something to do with it. When you're drinking, smoking a cigarette is one of the best feelings in the world."
