Hi Tom
I'm not sure how long ago you did this – but I have recently discovered PD and found your drum machine.
Thanks for posting this on the PD forum – it's been a great help.
To try to help me get around the intricacies of PD I've been tweaking it somewhat. I've added controls on the main patch interface to control pitch, dry/wet/roomsize, start time and duration.
Its gets a bit memory hungry if you add wetness to all the sounds but that might just be my 5 year old laptop. check out a screengrab on my blog.
Also – because I added receive elements into the instrument subpatches I decided to separate them into individual sub patches of their own.
I'm waffling now.
Anyway – Thanks loads for uploading your original drum machine – it's been a great tool the experiment with.
Ive recently started a blog, the info you provide on this site has helped me tremendously. Thank you for all of your time & work.
To contact the embassy, name (02) 9327 1912.
Nice website. Thanks for sharing such great information. Regards, Brian

Films from the collections housed at the Yorkshire Film Archive are at the forefront of a pioneering project to unlock memories for people with dementia and other age-related memory disorders.
Working with experts from Age UK, the Alzheimer's Society and Methodist Homes for the Aged, the Yorkshire Film Archive has created Memory Bank, a series of themed DVDs and online films, plus a wealth of information and activities for use in reminiscence therapy and life story work.
A preview screening of Memory Bank took place yesterday at the Pictureville Cinema at the National Media Museum, Bradford, in front of an audience which included representatives of the Alzheimer's Society, Age UK, the National Media Museum Reminiscence Group and members of the Penistone Dementia Cafe.
Sue Howard, Yorkshire Film Archive director, said: "Memory Bank is about opening up our collections to a huge range of older people.
"Reminiscence therapy and memory work play an invaluable role in improving a sense of personal identity and wellbeing, and stimulating communication and sociability.
"As one Memory Bank user who was involved in the pilot summarised: 'It's like the years peeling back – the memories are all still there, it just needs a trigger'."
The Alzheimer's Society estimates that in Yorkshire and Humber alone, there are more than 60,000 people diagnosed as having dementia. It is also estimated, however, that a further 65 per cent of cases are as yet undiagnosed.
Even though the condition mainly affects people over the age of 65, there are more than 17,000 people in the UK under the age of 65 who have dementia.
The films that have been used in Memory Bank have been selected from home movie collections held by the YFA, ensuring that everyone can relate to the familiar subject themes of holidays, schooldays, sporting fun, working life, domestic life, and fetes, fairs and fireworks.
Suzanne Wightman, senior manager at the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, said that they were proud to be associated with such a positive development and believed it would be another great resource for anyone affected by dementia.
Gerontologist, Professor Dianne Willcocks, said: "Memory Bank offers older people a compelling and fun tool to reclaim their lived past – and to share it with family, friends and carers alike.
"It works both for those living with dementia and for those simply living with rich memories."

The MJ4All Methodology provides a structural way to implement the doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The doctrine of R2P states that if a government is unwilling or unable to protect its population, the international community has a moral obligation to protect the marginalized groups[1]. The doctrine of R2P divides into three phases: (1) prevention of conflict, (2) intervention during a conflict and (3) rebuilding after a conflict. Despite abuse of R2P to justify military interventions, the founders of the doctrine of R2P emphasize in their report that military intervention should only take place in exceptional circumstances, and the main focus should be on the prevention and the rebuilding phase and the transition from post-war to normalization. MJ4All works on legal empowerment and inclusion of marginalized groups in the countries of operation, which is fundamental in the prevention and rehabilitation phases.
The Microjustice4All legal issues are an essential part of preventing violent conflict. Conflicts mostly occur where a part of the population is not integrated into society, do not have access to education, healthcare, public services and their land is unprotected. People can only be protected from harm if they are included within society and inclusion in society is dependent on having the necessary legal documentation in order. By evaluating the legal needs of the population, Microjustice4All provides a structural method for identifying which groups are excluded from society, so that these groups can be brought within society and protected. The Legal Inclusion Index, that MJ4All is developing, will be instrumental for this. Systematic identification of excluded groups enables systematic development co-operation. The acceptance of the doctrine of Responsibility to Protect means that it is not optional for the international community to intervene when there are excluded groups but that there is a moral obligation. Microjustice4All offers a structural tool for fulfilling this obligation.
As well as preventing conflict, Microjustice4All legal services play an important role in post-crisis rehabilitation and the transition from post-war to normalization. After a violent conflict, many refugees and internally displaced persons face difficulties with obtaining civil documentation, the restoration of property and land, restoration of contractual relations, access to pension rights and problems with their bank. A prominent example was the situation after the war in the Former Yugoslavia[2].
Unless war victims and displaced populations are legally rehabilitated, legal insecurity can lead to renewed conflict. This vicious circle can be broken by structural implementation of the Microjustice4All Methodology.

More than two million people are permanently overdrawn, and the average worker goes into the red 27 days after payday, a survey shows.
Almost half of working Britons — more than 10 million people — have slipped into the red at least once in the past 12 months, including 2.1 million people who are continually overdrawn, according to price comparison site Moneysupermarket.com.
Those who are unable to stay in the black go overdrawn on the 20th of the month, on average — 27 days after payday, as most people are paid on the 24th day of the month.
Kevin Mountford, head of current accounts at Moneysupermarket.com, said the findings were not surprising, particularly as the Bank of England has hiked the base rate five times in the past year.
"Consumers are no doubt feeling the squeeze," he said.

Looking ahead at the 10 day forecast and I'm actually pretty excited. Nothing below 35 degrees after tomorrow. In the past that might have sounded depressing but right now that is really exciting! It will be above freezing for at least 9 days in a row!! That means maybe things will start thawing and hopefully before we know it we'll be riding outside!!
Looking even further ahead and we are about 5 weeks away from Equine Affair and about 7 weeks from Rolex! I always think of these two things as the true start of spring. I haven't been to Equine Affair in 2 years (maybe 3) and I am really looking forward to it this year. My trainer and our intern may be riding in one or two of the clinics. We're just waiting to find out. And of course going to Rolex is one of the highlights of the year for me. This year they are letting military and their families get in free on both Thursday and Friday so I will be going down at least two days.
I guess that is about it for now. I've been getting some work done around the house as it is freezing today but come Wednesday I'm hoping to get a much more regular barn schedule going.

During a recent press trip to the Azores of Portugal I had dinner with the owner of the restaurant that was hosting me.
Over dinner we discussed many topics, including a new tourism program he was starting.
When the topic turned to how I could make money as a blogger I rattled off some of the ways, including sponsored posts. He seemed interested but did not pursue the topic.
The following month, after I published the posts about my time in his country, I received an email from the hotel owner.
He was interested in having me write the copy for his new program. He liked the way I had promoted tourism to his company and the timeliness in which I delivered the finished product.
By sitting down with him and explaining what I did without presenting a hard sale I had planted a seed.
Later, when he was able to see and appreciate my finished product, he wanted to further the relationship. In this way I was able to take a free hotel from a free trip that I was on and turn it into a paid opportunity.
My biggest takeaway was that someone is always watching. While I thought in the moment he wasn't interested because he didn't pursue the conversation it turns out he was watching.
He wanted to see my output from the project that caused us to initially cross paths.
Be consistent, talk about your work and the services you provide, and know that people are paying attention even when you think they might not be.

Isn't that key chain just adorable? And the glitters are so sparkly, they look like jewels. Then there's the polish that is just the perfect teal holo I've seen yet - soft, linear with scattered holo particles all through it. I know it doesn't look like it in the photo up there but I've got more pictures to show. I just couldn't stop taking them.
As it happened, I had already put on a nice teal crelly from NYC, Tudor City Teal, in preparation for a gradient later on in the week. Three coats to get this one opaque.
Also, as it happens, Summer Breeze is a perfect match so, of course, I had to do accent nails. One coat on top of Tudor City Teal was all it took.
The holo really is that lovely soft kind of linear that's not all in your face. Don't get me wrong, I do love a holo that smacks you between the eyes. A softer holo, though, is a nice change and totally office appropriate, in my opinion. Not that I have to worry about that. We're pretty casual in my office, for which I am truly thankful. I love glitters, holos and the blingier the better. In fact, this teal crelly is the first non-glitter- or holo-fied mani I've worn in a long while.
I did try my best to capture the holo-y goodness of Summer Breeze but without the sun, it wasn't all that easy. Although, even in just the overhead light in my room, the rainbows make an appearance. I love a holo that doesn't always require the sun to show up. Camera flash was used for all of these.
I think this one shows it best, even in the bottle
blurred on purpose, the holo shows up pretty well
the blue almost shows up here.
This will be a full mani at some point. I'll plan it around a time when the sun might actually be making an appearance, though. Of course, name of this polish brings to mind the song by Seals and Crofts. "Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowin' through the jasmine in my mind."
And now the cute little keychain. This was such a great idea and perfect for the polish obsessed.
If you're interested in purchasing your own keychain, or even the polish mine is made of or any of Laura's other tempting creations, check out her shop at ellagee.com. Her new Bejeweled line is really eye catching.
So, that's the prize package I received. Again, I want to thank Ariel of Lacquer: The Best Medicine for hosting the giveaway and Laura of Ellagee for being a participant. I am so glad I decided to explore the indie polish world. Lots of very sweet ladies in the neighborhood making lots of beautiful polish.
I'm off to finish up a post for mid week about the new Sally Hansen Satin Glams. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm off to go stare at my accent nails for the rest of the evening.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned.

Venturi Tube
A device for measuring the flow rate of a fluid, consisting of a tube with a short, narrow center section and widened, flared ends. Fluid, when flowing through the center section, is compelled to move at a higher velocity than when moving through end sections. This creates a pressure differential that is a measure of the flow of the fluid.
The Venturi principle is used in automatic shut-off nozzles and other petroleum marketing applications. The Venturi effect is the fluid pressure that results when an incompressible fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe.
The Venturi effect may be derived from a combination of Bernoulli's principle and the equation of continuity. The fluid velocity must increase through the constriction to satisfy the equation of continuity, while its pressure must decrease due to conservation of energy: the gain in kinetic energy is supplied by a drop in pressure or a pressure gradient force.
The limiting case of the Venturi effect is choked flow, in which a constriction in a pipe or channel limits the total flow rate through the channel, because the local pressure in the constriction cannot drop below the vapor pressure in a liquid or exceed the speed of sound in a gas.
The Venturi effect is named after Giovanni Battista Venturi, (1746–1822), an Italian physicist.

Medical translation
Medical translation
A humorous interpretation
of common expressions
in biomedical research genres
by Mattews et al:
Distinguishing features of medical translation
Medical specialties
Comprehension of medical notions
Medical terminology
Medical communication purposes
Medical genres
Medical information sources
Quality of medical texts
Medical ethics and responsiblities
Different types of medical texts
Steps in translation process
What are the distinguishing features of
medical translation?
Different types of medical texts.
Steps in medical translation process.
Detecting and solving translation problems.
Medical specialties
Medical translation involves the communication of knowledge in various specialties including:
Medical Ethics
Comprehension of medical notions
Factual comprehension is a key element in any translation process.
literary translators' priority: register, rhythm, puns, cultural references
medical translators' priority: accuracy
Gaps in the translator's medical knowledge of different specialties lead to comprehension problems.
Such problems can be overcome with strategies for acquiring medical knowledge
Medical terminology
More than half of the time in the translation process is invested in detecting and solving terminological problems
Terms include those for anatomical parts, diseases, syndromes, drugs, medical equipment, and so forth.
Terminological difficulties:
register mismatches
Ways to tackle the problems:
understand the mechanisms of terminologization
e.g. Term=concept+denomination
get familiar with Greek and Latin basis of medical terms
e.g. Etymological forms as roots, prefixes and suffixes like
-itis (inflammation): bronchitis,arthritis, arteritis
hepat- (liver): hepatitis, hepatectomy
check the classification systems created by the official organizations
e.g. http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/en/
Medical communicative purposes
The range of communicative purposes for medical translation is very broad. Among the main communicative functions are:
the dissemination of biomedical research among specialists
the dissemination of research in the mass media
the education of health professionals at universities
the approval of new drugs
the regulation of all kinds of health products
the advertising of health products and services
the communication in hospitals and other health centres
the campaigns carried out by health institutions in the national and international contexts, such as WHO
Medical genres
Now that there are so many communicative purposes for medical texts, medical translation covers a wide spectrum of genres:
research articles published in highly specialized journals
clinical guides for physician
text books for university students
patient information brochures
press releases
TV documentaries about health
It is worth mentioning that medical translation is not restricted to highly specialized genres but also includes more general ones.
Our knowledge about medical genres help us decide our target text drafting methodologies and guide our translation process.
Quality of medical texts
When translating literary works, the authors are usually skilled writers.
In terms medical texts, medical authors are usually not professional writers, which means sometimes translators have to cope with poor quality source texts.
As a result of this, translators should not always rely on the quality of the ST when taking decisions about the coherence
and style of the TT.
Medical translation is often affected by medical ethics and responsibilities.
Ethical norms in medicine and medical translation are:
1. Accuracy and validity of information
2. Confidentiality
3. Promote understanding and empathy towards disabled people, patients' different sensitivities and etc.
Priorities differ in different genres and therefore demand different skills from the translators.
From both communicative purposes and a formal point of view, target genre knowledge and skills are key elements for us to decide our translation strategies, procedures and other choices.
2. How
are they different-
Specialised VS Popular; Formal VS Informal
Oral VS Written...
3. What
Communicative purpose; structure; types of information contained; readers' expectations; style; tenor; phraseology,
Different types of medical texts
1. Fact Sheet for Patients (FSP)
- Also referred to as "patient leaflet", "patient information
brochure" and "patient brochure".
- Issued by health organisations: a local, national or international
governmental body; a patients' association; a professional
association, a hospital, a research institute, etc.
- Intended to provide patients with relevant information about a
particular disease or condition: symptoms, causes, treatment,
and medicine or diagnostic procedure.
- Authors: normally health professionals
- Feature: present info in an easy-to-read and concise way.
- Terminology: medical terms in FSPs are accompanied by
explanations (in brackets or directly explained in the main body)
Different types of medical texts
2. Informed consent (IC)
- Two purposes:
to express the patient's written consent to a surgical or medical
procedure or other treatment, after the physician has explained the
potential benefits and risks and alternative treatment.
required for participation in clinical studies.
- Requirement:
If written in a language too technical or containing jargon, it may be incomprehensible and intimidating for a patient or participant. Thus, we should make every effort by using language appropriately for intended readers. (use plain language when possible)
- Structure:
First part. Informative details about the procedure to be carried out.
Second part. Consent (authorisation).
3. Patient information leaflet (PIL)
- Also referred to as "package insert", "information leaflet", "consumer medicine information", "patient package insert".
- Document enclosed in the sales package of a medicinal product.
- Purpose:
To ensure the safety and efficacy of taking specific medicine.
- Requirements:
(EU) As is regulated by the European Commission, the content of PIL must be consistent with the SPC but in a wording that can be easily understood by a non-professionals.
(General) Accuracy and clarity must be the main focus, especially the section devoted to posology and method of administration.
Besides, owing to marketing strategies, multinational companies sometimes sell their products with different trade names in different countries. Therefore, translators should check whether the medicine is commercialized with the same trade name in the target marketplace.
Different types of medical texts
Different types of medical texts
4. Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC)
- One of the documents attached to every application for marketing authorization.
- Purposes:
Summarizes the main characteristics of a medicinal product from different points of view: pharmacological, chemical, pharmaceutical, toxicological, and so forth.
Provides basic info for health professionals on how to use the product saftely and effectively.
- SPCs give rise to PILs.
Different types of medical texts
5. Case Report (CR)
- Also known as "clinical case reports", "case studies", "clinical cases" or "case histories" depending on the research journals where they are published, or the educational or clinical contexts they are used in.
- Typically written by a clinician to describe and discuss an instance of a disease in a single patient.
- Communicative purposes:
share relevant clinical information with other clinicians
stimulate further research in a particular field
teach medical students how to approach complex clinical practice in an efficient way.
- Features:
With little argumentation or instruction;
Facts are narrated and objects described so that the reader can easily form a mental image of them and understand them.
Each of the steps involves different tasks and requires different skills that we need to develop and improve as we get more involved in the profession.
Depending on the assignment, in professional practice medical translators will go through mainly these steps or some of them:
1. Analyzing the needs of clients and planning the project
If possible, discuss the specifics of the project with the client
Otherwise, contact with experts in this field or gather your own info on the subject matter.
2. Reading and understanding the source text
- Read the ST thoroughly and have an adequate understanding of it
comprehension of particular term (not enough)
networks and hierarchies of terms
conceptual links between paragraphs and sections
descriptive, narrative and argumentative structures
overall cause and effect relationship
3. Compiling a glossary
- Glossaries are to ensure the terminology is consistent:
within a given assignment
with clients' norms and preferences
- Not "disposable". Glossaries should be compiled in a way that will allow us to retrieve and use those terms and definitions
again in the future.
4. Drafting the target text
In a first draft, it is important to focus attention on the two most basic aspects of text production: structure and contents.
- structure of the target text (which may or may not coincide with that of ST): sections, subsections, moves, flow of information, etc.
- factual information the structure should contain.
In this step, main focus is on micro-elements such as links between sentenc, word order, terminological choices, etc.
5. Revising and editing the TT
- conceptual completeness
- accuracy
- clarity
- cohesion
- syntax
- style
- grammar
- spelling
- punctuation
-consistency (in the use of ters, abbreviations, numbers, proper names, etc.)
6. Proofreading
Revise and edit the TT against the ST and on its own.
Produce a document that should read as an autonomous and finished text.
Make sure that the text reads well and pay special attention to punctuation, spelling, quantities, numerical expressions and so forth.

Different types of medical texts
6. Clinical guidelines (CG)
- Also known as "clinical practice guidelines" and "practice guidelines".
- Clinical guidelines are meant to transfer relevant biomedical research to the clinic. They are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances.
- Author: teams of experts, researchers
Target readers: experts, practitioners.
- Writing of CG is not regulated by strict norms,but there are standardization bodies and international project that appraise clinical guidelines.
e.g. the Guidelines International Network
the AGREE Collaboration (14 languages)
- Examples of this genre:
Good medical translation can be done by both medical professionals and medically knowledgeable linguists.
But in both cases, a love for language, a willingness to pursue arcane terminology, and caring enough to get it exactly right are the keys to true success.
—— Marla O'Neill
7. Review Article (RA)
- Purposes:
Provide clinicians, physicians and students the literature for reliable guidance in practice.
Tell investigators where their research field stands on a particular problem and suggest what directions new research should take.
- Authors: experts at the cutting edge in a particular field
- Examples
8. Standard Operating procedure (SOP)
- SOPs are written descriptions and instructions used in many professional practices to ensure the quality of products and processes and compliance with the current regulations.
- Content: routine or repetitive tasks carried out
- Features: highly specialised and formal
- Requirements:
easy to read
expressed simply and concisely
unambiguous, explicit and not excessively complex
terminology must be consistent within the organization
- Examples:
1. develop text comprehension strategies
2. metaphor translation
3. seek help from information resources
Developing text comprehension strategies
In medical translation, text comprehension is often a non-linear and complex process. We have to be either very familiar with the topic and the genre of the text or able to work through it in a circular way integrating macro- and micro elements.
A three-step methodology for understanding the ST. (it can be used as a starting point and adapted to your personal style and to the needs of each assignment.)
1. Getting the gist of the source text
2. Concentrating on individual items
3. Using fix-up strategies
by using different using speed
by using text mapping or other outlining and summarizing methods
using etymological information
paraphrasing implicit meaning
turning nominalizations into full sentences
turning passive sentences into active sentences.
Making word substitutions where necessary.
Exploring links between and within sentences. (cause and effect, implicit connections to be added in TT)
Once we recognize we are stuck, what can we do?
- Ignore problems and continue to read, hoping the following text will clarify what we don't understand.
- Form a tentative hypothesis based on information in the text and then read on to confirm or revise the hypothesis.
- Look back or reread the previous sentence.
- Stop and think about the meaning of the previously read material and reread it in an attempt to fit it into the bigger picture.
- Seek help from resources such as dictionaries, reference materials and knowledgeable people.
Metaphor translation
Medical information and resources
Knowledge on body systems.
Starting up your own medical translation library
Online medical dictionaries
Online Medical Dictionary
Medterms Medical Dictionary
Surgical Medical Word Glossary
Medline Plus Medical Dictionary
Metaphors are very common in medical texts. They tend to present abstraction and fuzziness.
e.g. scarlet fever
German measles
catch your breath
yellow fever
feel in hell/heaven
invasive procedure
Common metaphors and idioms in medicine can be related to war, sports, colours, spring, youth, animals, food, hunting, people's names and other concets.

What is a Home Care Package?
A Home Care Package is a set of services provided by the HSE to help an older person to be cared for in their own home. The services, for example additional home help hours, nursing services, therapy services, might be needed due to illness, disability or after a stay in hospital or following rehabilitation in a nursing home. A Home Care Package includes extra services and supports that are over and above the normal community services that the HSE provides directly or through a HSE funded service. Community services, provided by the HSE, and HSE funded providers, include home help, nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech & language therapy, day care services and respite care.
Home Care Package Providers
From the 1st September 2016all new Home Care Packages approved by the HSE will be provided by organisations that have been approved by the HSE following a detailed tender process.The 32 approved providers, appointed under the 2016 tender process meet a required level of national standards. However it is important to note that existing providers also provide a quality service work under agreed standards, which are monitored by staff in the local health office.
What does a Home Care Package include?
Services provided through a home care package are flexible, but might include additional home help hours, nursing care, physiotherapy, respite care etc to support the clients' needs. Services may be provided directly by the HSE by its own staff, for example, home help workers and nurses, by voluntary providers operating on behalf of the HSE or by private care providers.
Who can apply for a Home Care Package?
The Home Care Package Scheme has been established to support older people to return home following a hospital stay or to remain at home longer rather than be admitted to hospital or a nursing home. Therefore the vast majority of people who apply will be aged over 65 and already using some HSE community services and the vast majority of applications approved will be from older people. If a younger person's assessed needs, e.g. early onset dementia, can be best met by services designed for older people then occasionally such an application may be considered. People who have no current community services may also apply for a Home Care Package, if they have increased care needs as a result of a significant episode of illness.
Is there a means or income test?
You do not need to have a medical card in order to apply for a Home Care Package. There will be no means test - there will be no assessment of your income. The supports you receive, if any, will be based on your assessed care needs subject to the limit of the resources available for the scheme in the local health office area.
What does a Home Care Package cost?
Home Care Packages are provided to eligible clients at no cost, as part of the public health service. However, if you arrange services or supports above the levels provided by the HSE you will have to pay for the cost of those services yourself.
What happens when I apply for a Home Care Package?
When you apply, the HSE will carry out a Care Needs Assessment for you. This will look at your overall health care needs and your social circumstances, and will identify what level of care you are currently receiving and what other supports you may need. In order to be allocated a Home Care Package, this assessment has to confirm that enhanced levels of service/support are required. If the care needs assessment shows that additional services/supports are not needed, the application for a Home Care Package will be refused.
What does the Care Needs Assessment involve?
A Care Needs Assessment identifies your overall health needs and your level of dependency. This is done to make sure that your get the right kind of care in the right place - in your home, in a hospital, or in some cases in a nursing home. It will be done by a health care worker, like a public health nurse or physiotherapist etc. The assessment will look at your needs, including:
Your ability to carry out the activities of daily living, e.g. bathing, shopping, dressing and moving around,
Any medical, health and personal social services being provided to you,
Your family, social and community supports,
Your wishes and preferences.
The assessment may include a physical examination by a healthcare professional. A report will be prepared to record your care needs and a copy will be provided to you.
How do I apply?
Fill in the Home Care Package application form and send it to the Home Care Package Manager at your local health office. The addresses are included in the application form and information booklet.
What if I am currently in hospital?
If you are in hospital you should ask a nurse or other relevant person such as a social worker in your ward for an application form. This should be completed and returned to the relevant local office. The nursing staff or the relevant person may be able to assist you with completing the application form.
What do I need to include with my application form?
No documents are needed with your application form. However, if you would like to ask your Doctor (GP) to write a letter explaining how a Home Care Package might benefit you please feel free to send us a copy so we can take this into account.
What if my circumstances or my care needs change?
When a Home Care Package is provided, we will also make an arrangement for regular reviews of your needs. The review will ensure that you are receiving the level of care that you require. The level of care may be adjusted depending on the outcome of the review. For example, if you have recovered following an illness and you no longer require the level of care initially approved as part of the care package, it may be appropriate that your needs be met by routine community services. As part of the regular review you may be asked to complete a short form which we will give you at the time of the review. Your comments will help us to understand what you think of the Home Care Package and will help us to improve the scheme for you and for others. Outside of regular reviews, if your circumstances change in a way that affects your need for a Home Care Package you must notify the HSE local office. Examples of changed circumstances include admission to hospital, availing of respite care, temporary stay with family/relatives in their home.

Determining Eligibility for McKinney-Vento
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act is a federal law that discusses the public education of children and youth in temporary housing. Under McKinney-Vento and state law, students are considered to be in temporary housing if their nighttime residenc is not fixed, regular, and adequate. Some examples of temporary housing include:
- Sharing the housing of others due to loss of housing, economic hardship or other similar reason,
- Living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, camping grounds,
- Living in emergency or transitional shelters,
- Abandoned in hospitals,
- Living a in public or private place not designed for sleeping,
- Living in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, bus or train stations, etc.
- Migratory living in circumstances described above,

Determining Eligibility for Rights and Services Under the McKinney-Vento Act
This issue brief, from the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE), provides background on the McKinney-Vento Act and is designed to help school staff members in applying the definition of homelessness under the law to individual children and youth.
Confirming Eligibility for McKinney-Vento Services: Do's and Don'ts for Local Liaisons
This issue brief from NCHE provides helpful information on what to do and what not to do when determining if a student is eligible for services under McKinney-Vento. Please note: this document does not include information about the newly strengthened privacy protections for students in temporary housing. With the reauthorization of McKinney-Vento under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which went into effect on October 1, 2016, there are stronger privacy protections that protect the confidentiality of address information for students in temporary housing. For more information, please see our page on student privacy
Housing Questionnaire [Word doc]
This new Housing Questionnaire should be used by all school districts as the first page of the enrollment packet for all newly enrolling students. The Housing Questionnaire should also be given to all students/families any time they report a change of address. The Housing Questionnaire was updated on November 11, 2016, and it replaces the former Enrollment Form/Residency Questionnaire. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) requires all LEAs that receive Title I funds (including school districts, charter schools, and BOCES) to use the Housing Questionnaire. NYSED also encourages all other Local Educational Agencies, to use the Housing Questionnaire, because it asks about students' living arrangements in order to identify students experiencing homelessness in the school district.
Sample Enrollment Process for Students in Temporary Housing [Word doc]
This is a Sample Enrollment Process that school districts may follow for immediately enrolling temporarily housed students in school.
NEW! Template End-of-Year Letter
Districts are encouraged to check in with parents whose children are McKinney-Vento eligible (or youth themselves in the case of unaccompanied homeless youth) at the end of each school year to determine whether their housing situation has changed and make appropriate arrangements for the next school year if there has been a change. This template letter can be used to reach out to families for this purpose.

I didn't feel like celebrating Advent and Christmas this year. Grief reappeared as the holidays approached. The usual festive celebrations made me feel tired or irritable as I remembered the events a year ago, leading up to my father's death in early January. I wasn't in the mood to celebrate either the "secular Christmas" or the "sacred Christmas".
We decided this year to keep the decorations simple so we could focus on spending time with the family. We put a string of lights in the window for a bit of hygge cheer in the December darkness. We chose a few favorite nativities from our collection to place on the mantle as a reminder of our Christian traditions. We replaced the tropical scene hanging above our fireplace with a beautiful winter scene from Yosemite, since there was no snow predicted for the holidays. We looked forward to our boys returning home for the holidays.
Minutes after hanging that picture above the mantel, it came crashing down. Three of the nativities and a beautiful stained glass candle globe were swept off the mantel. They shattered on the wood-stove below, leaving shards of stained glass, broken ceramic pieces and a cracked gourd retablo. The entire nativity set of thorn carvings from Nigeria were completely beheaded as we watched the little heads roll across the floor. My first reaction was tears, then laughter, then a slow realization that nothing would ever be quite the same again, since my father's death.
Something began to shift inside of me. I realized this incident symbolized a new beginning. A time of letting go of the past, celebrating in the present moment and starting some new traditions in the future.
It was time to let go of the past. The stained glass candle globe and a few nativities were gone. So was my father. I didn't have to attend every Christmas event like I usually did.
It was time to be present in the moment. We could fix the picture with a secure hanger. We could choose other nativities to be our new favorites. The thorn carving figures could still be salvaged. We could celebrate the lasting legacy my father and other ancestors passed on to our family. My father's memory and presence was still very much alive in my heart.
It was time to start new traditions. The picture was securely placed back on the wall. We found all the missing heads and glued them back on the little carved bodies. Mary was missing her hair covering, but that was OK. It would serve as a reminder that sometimes we are stripped of the comfortable things in life, like our rituals. Sometimes we are vulnerable and feel uncovered. Sometimes we just have to show up, be present in the moment and keep moving forward.
I added an angel statue beside the nativities as a sign of hope for the future. I breathed a sigh and felt ready to face the rest of the holidays. As I reflected on this incident over the next several days, new insights were gleaned.
Christmas morning I woke to a small lit Christmas tree in the living room. My husband decided that rituals were still important when living with grief. He secretly put up the tree and ornaments as a surprise. He intentionally chose one ornament from every stage of our lives to represent the many Christmas celebrations we had as a family. It was fun seeing all those years represented on the tree. It made me appreciate the gift of celebrating traditions in slightly new ways. We enjoyed a new tradition of tacos for Christmas lunch, made by our young adult sons. Something old, something new, nativities salvaged, traditions reviewed. It was a good day.
A little angel on our tree gives me a sense of Light in the darkness, Joy in the sorrow, Peace in the midst of conflict and Hope for the future. Blessings to each one of you as you navigate the past, present and future.

text: Hi! Everyone probably knows about FlashMe and it's feature of ignoring the RSA check with Download-Play recieving. Let's say you got some crappy flashcard with poor download-play compatibility, and you want to play with a friend. One of the options is to install FlashMe on your friend's DS but the SL1 bridging makes it pretty risky. So what if a FlashMe version would come out that would only ignore the RSA checks, if a flasme like that gets made then there's no need to edit the protected part of the DS and we could easily install flashme on someone's DS without side-effects! No more worrying about download-play support with certain flashcards... So what are the odds that something like this will ever come out?

The 2015 Ford Flex offers Manteno and Chicago drivers more than the 2015 Mazda CX-9. With stronger standard features, a greater level of passenger space, and superior safety ratings, the new Ford Flex represents the perfect full-sized crossover for your family. Let's take a closer look at the Ford Flex and see how it surpasses the Mazda CX-9 on price, fuel economy, space, and more.
Manteno and Chicago shoppers will be pleased to know the 2015 Ford Flex comes in three trim levels, with a generous selection of features included for each:
The 2015 Mazda CX-9 starts higher, with the Sport trim demanding at least $29,985, and providing power windows and remote keyless entry. Other models include the $32,480 Touring and the $35,035 Grand Touring.
The 2015 Ford Flex fits a 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 engine as standard, so Chicago and Manteno drivers will be able to depend upon the kind of high performance which comes with a 287 horsepower output. In contrast, the 2015 Mazda CX-9's 3.7L DOHC V6 offers only 273 horsepower. The Mazda also lacks an optional engine, while Ford Flex drivers can fit their vehicle with a relentless 365 horsepower 3.5L EcoBoost V6. That extra power means that the Ford Flex can tow 1000lbs more than the CX-9.
Somehow, the 2015 Mazda CX-9 fails to compensate for reduced performance with stronger efficiency ratings, allowing drivers to earn only 17 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway in FWD models, or 16 and 22 in AWD models. In contrast, the more powerful Ford Flex earns 18 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway in FWD, or 17 and 23 in AWD models.
Both vehicles class themselves as full-sized crossovers, and both carry up to seven passengers. However, it's only the 2015 Ford Flex which feels properly expansive once you slip inside. That's down to its superior passenger space of 155.8 cubic feet to the 2015 Mazda CX-9's 139.4. If you need room for everyone to spread out and relax, then there's no better option than the Ford Flex. Manteno and Chicago shoppers will even be able to add a multi-panel Vista Roof, which opens up each row with four skylights.
Of course, you shouldn't assume that the 2015 CX-9 compensates for its cramped cabin with stronger storage space. With all seats occupied, you'll be able to fit up to 20 cubic feet in the Flex versus 17.2 cubic feet in the CX-9.
The 2015 Ford Flex is designed for busy modern families, so it boasts a number of features to keep you on track, and keep everyone entertained.
For example, the Flex offers integrated navigation on upper-end models – including 3D mapping, voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, and SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link – while the 2015 Mazda CX-9 only offers navigation for an added cost, even in premium-price models.
Likewise, the Ford Flex's available Sony sound system includes both 12 speakers and a subwoofer, and is fitted as standard in the Titanium, while the CX-9 Grand Touring only includes the basic 6-speaker system as standard. Manteno and Chicago customers will be forced to pay out extra for the optional Bose system, which still includes 2 less speakers than the Sony.
The 2015 Ford Flex was awarded a Top Safety Pick recommendation from the IIHS, while the 2015 Mazda CX-9 was rated as poor across multiple categories:
The 2015 Ford Flex solidly outperforms the 2015 Mazda CX-9 in every way which matters to Chicago and Manteno drivers – that's why they always head straight to Terry's Ford of Peotone. Stop by soon or call us on 888-832-3250 for more information or to set up a test-drive.

Boundary Commission Review
The stated aim of the review is to equalise the size of parliamentary constituencies and in doing so reduce the total number of MP's in Westminster down from 650 to 600.
There will be very few constituencies which go completely untouched in the review but our own constituency of North West Leicestershire will be one of the most affected.
Leaked copies of the proposals show that North West Leicestershire will be split into two.
Ashby De La Zouch will be absorbed into the Bosworth constituency, thus presumably making it even more steadfastly Conservative.
Whilst Coalville and its surrounding villages will go to form a new constituency with the towns of Keyworth and Ruddington which currently form part of Ken Clarke's Rushcliffe seat (the proposed constituency will be called Coalville and Keyworth).
It could be argued that this will potentially make Coalville (and Keyworth - must get used to the new name) a more marginal constituency given that the two towns do not tend to return Conservative councillors wholesale unlike much of the rest of the district.
But, to me at least, this is not the point.
Parliamentary constituencies should be designed on the basis that they reflect an identifiable geographic area. In other words to reflect communities.
Everyone knows that Coalville and Ashby are very different towns politically, economically and socially however they also have a great deal in common (much more than simply sharing a district council).
We have history, heritage, close transport links and not least the fact that for many of us when we go out shopping or for entertainment we might 'pop' into Ashby or 'nip' to Coalville.
What links do we have with Ruddington or Keyworth?
Both towns I am sure are lovely but what do we have in common with what are essentially suburbs of Nottingham?
I am pretty certain that anyone sat in Ruddington right now will be asking the same questions about Coalville.
Has anyone from Coalville ever 'popped' out to Keyworth (or vice versa)? I doubt it but we may well soon be represented by an MP of whatever party who must try to show they have an intimate knowledge of both distinct areas.
Will this really be the best representation voters can expect?

Keyworth and Ruddington are both villages, not towns.ReplyDelete
They are both separated from Nottingham by green belt land.
Keyworth is well positioned for commuting to Nottingham, Loughborough, Leicester, Newark and Melton Mowbray, while Ruddington is well placed for commuting to Nottingham and Loughborough or West towards Derby, Ashby de la Zouche and random parts of the West Midlands. Neither are "suburbs of Nottingham".
That all said, I concur that creating a parliamentary constituency that has a gap (called Loughborough) in the middle does feel somewhat strange. Still, Coalville's a nice place, for a suburb of Ashby.
Anonymous, you have proved my point completely.ReplyDelete
I believed that Ruddington was a small town that was a suburb of Nottingham because I have no reason to know any better.
I am sure Ruddington and Keyworth are lovely but there is just no connection between Coalville and those villages (see, I stand corrected).
Similarly I wouldn't expect anyone in Keyworth to realise just how lovely Sence Valley has become over the past few years (or any one of a plethora of other things about Coalville).
It's not that I don't like Keyworth or Ruddington it's simply that we don't have connections that bind us.

Lets look to the positive Leon. A great opportunity to forge links, much like Coalville town twinning does with our French friends.ReplyDelete
I admit that I have never heard of Keyworth, but intend to visit it on Google Earth as soon as I have posted this!
Best wishes Geoff:-)

This dip is so tasty and it is quick and easy to make. So this is the perfect dish to bring to a fall gathering or anytime.
1 pkg cream cheese 8 oz ,softened
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/4 cup honey
1/4 tsp cinnamon
red and green apples sliced and cored
In a medium mixing bowl combine cream cheese,caramel,honey and cinnamon. Beat until smooth and store in fridge until ready to serve.
*To prevent the apples from browning to quick i always put a little 7-up on them. Sprite or any other lemon lime soda will do the trick

text: One of my daughter's classmates in kindergarten is having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure if we can go to the party because we are going out of the country, and we will be back until the first week of August. My daughter would love to attend the party, but we already told her that we're not sure if we could make it. I'm planning to take her to the mall this weekend so we can get her friend some cute little girl gifts. I think she is going to like the idea.

The actual Nokia Lumia 900 continues to achieve more and more successful users, as it is influencing folks because it initial struck and captured everything in its way to success. It has currently received many prizes than it is possible to suit, because it appears like it may be up to get a much more additional technologies. Keep reading this article to find out the main reason, about how does the actual Nokia Lumia 900 looks like it is becoming the most Best Smartphone of the year 2012.
The particular Nokia Lumia 900, as we all know, has got a 4.3 inch smartphone display, it is running on Windows Phone platform and is also the biggest phone display device that Nokia has provided from the beginning of the Lumia up to now. As it was unveiled, the smartphone never ended up winning awards, taking the Better of CES Smartphone Honor through PC Magazine, in addition was the Better of CES coming up via Popular Research, along with one of the better and quirkiest gadgets from Born Gizmo Laboratory – and the list of Nokia Lumia 900 CES awards continues. Also, today, the nice people over at What Mobile, posted upwards their 2012 nominations for the Best Smartphone prize, as well as Nokia, which is a rival for the Apple company, as well as for Samsung, which are two big brands in the Smartphone World – so we all think that it is a really big step for the Nokia brand, as many users out there say that the manufacturer has dropped down to it's "magic touch".
Nokia Lumia 900 Greatest Consumer Guide
The particular Nokia Lumia 900 uses only one of the available two slots, becoming nominated as being the Top Mobile Phone associated with the 2012, as well as the Greatest Media Smartphone award. In other words, the Nokia Lumia generation won lots of prizes, but even the Nokia 808 PureView was placed near the Lumia and won the prize as the Best Camera Phone category (will there be truly any choice between these two ones?). It is a very good time for one of the most appreciated line from the Nokia brand, however we were just slightly puzzled to not see the Nokia winning the Greatest Designer class, because of the extra business that has been doing from the 2010 until today, as it drove the phone technology forwards compared to the other brands on the market, rival of this brand.

We're back from our winter endeavour down the pacific coast highway. It was an incredible time. Traveling from our home on Vancouver Island through Victoria, BC all the way to Palm Desert, California and back again. Who knew doing a road trip like this during the off season could be so rewarding. Mind you it was winter, so we really got lucky with great weather (sunny's on, snow chains off). We welcomed off season rates and enjoyed travel spots that weren't overcrowded with tourists. The Pacific coast is epicly beautiful, a jagged coastline with pocket beaches and incredible scenery. The food scene - equally epic, and oh so delicious. Add to that a progressive yoga scene, design creatives and bold young start-ups, which make for endless exploring. Being back on the road we really felt in our element of adventure. So fortunate to see many amazing cities, some that will definitely be featured in our up coming editions of the Yogi Travel Guides. So for now enjoy some of our favourite moments, memories and photographs from our trip!
(click on pictures and hover over pic to find out details and location)
Loved cardamon coffee and comfy beds in Astoria, pale blue skies with warm winter sun in Seaside, and cleansing charcoal water and green juice in Ashland. Oregon is magnificently beautiful and the coast is one of our favourite places to visit. The Oregon coast was a real treat to start our trip and a lovely way to celebrate a big birthday.
Oh Portland. Your secret has long been out. We know your amazing and love coming back to visit each time. We love the delicious artisanal and creative food, the one of a kind shops, craft beer, high consciousness, and friendly souls. It's a place where young people come to retire, so says Portlandia. Not quite ready to retire but we will surely be back to visit - real quick.
SF is always on. There is a palatable creative vibe here and creatives don't shy away from achieving their best. We loved the niche shops, health food markets, yoga scene and amazing restaurants...we had the best chai, ramen and dumplings here. A trip highlight was attending the one day only Remodelista Market and connected with so many inspiring artisans and makers from the coast. Definitely a city to keep exploring over and over again.
We'll be back next week with the second part of our photo journal series. Have a lovely weekend all!
