The Denial of Death was a book written by cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker in 1973. It introduced a theory that could be applied cross-culturally to explain the observation of violence in response to ideas of one's own death. Concepts in this book were later developed and empirically tested by Jeff Greenberg, Tom Pyszczynski, and Sheldon Solomon in the late 1980s. What they found was interesting. The implications of this research, which has now been replicated hundreds of times around the world to test for validity, are huge. Applying this theory to history can help to understand some of the large scale violence and oppression that has occurred around the world. A better understanding of these phenomenon can help to build a future that takes steps to avoid such occurrences.
Topics in this project will include: Violence during the Black Death, Violence during and after the American Civil War, abolition movements in the United States, and more.
What is Terror Management Theory?
Terror Management Theory is the idea that death brings a looming anxiety which, when presented, must be dealt with. Individuals manage to avoid thinking of death in many day to day instances but employ defense mechanisms when reminded. In response to the reminder of one's own mortality, one responds in either a creative or destructive way. As biological beings who are aware of their own impending deaths, people attempt to escape death by redefining the problem. Immortality projects are formed in creative ways through literally surviving forever, which is to believe there is an immaterial soul that survives biological death. Individual death can also be avoided by creating Earthly things which will last long after one's death such as, reproducing, creating a legacy, creating great art, and having done things that impact the course of history. Culture is another way to escape death. It allows people to become a small part of a greater self, one that has the potential to last forever. Culture establishes a structure which individuals can compare themselves with and contribute to. Societal norms dictate what it means to be a successful member, what goals to achieve, and a means for achieving those goals. Often individuals compete within cultures with things like money or influence, to establish a sense of personal and group worth.
What are Threats to Immortality?
"The first component of TMT states, individuals need to sustain faith in a meaningful worldview. The second states that individuals need to feel as if they are valuable protected members objects of significance within this worldview"[1] When these components are questioned or suspected to be wrong, a threat is presented. Other cultures, ideologies, and worldviews, similarly present a threat to immortality models. The idea that other groups hold different ideas about the nature of reality and meaning of life are threatening because they suggest the possibility for one's own ideas to be wrong. If one's ideas about immortality are wrong, then the individual's immortality model becomes unsustainable. When faced with a substantial threat, a four step process emerges "The first is to dismiss a person or culture as an inferior form of life"[1] When the conflicting cultures are observed to be successfully upholding other immortality views, dismissal is often not enough to cope with the possibility the other group could be right. The second method is assimilation. When a culture cannot dismiss another, it tries to find common ground and merge the ideologies together to minimize differences. An example of this is mainstream America incorporating aspects of the counterculture movement such as blue jeans or natural granola bars, which were originally intended to rebel against society. "Mainstream America adopted appealing aspects of the counterculture and cut off the threatening aspects. In effect, designer blue jeans and highly processed granola bars became popular which twisted their original meaning."[1] However assimilation usually fails in major areas of belief and differences cannot be resolved. The third method is accommodation. To compete with other views, it is empowering to have more subscribers that reinforce one's own view. This is most evident in the of practice of missionaries. By gaining more followers or achieving higher levels of conformity, individuals become more convinced their own worldview is correct. The 4th and final method of dealing with a cultural threat, is annihilation. When all else fails the only other way to deal with the threat is to destroy it. This destruction can be through actual physical violence, destruction of ideas, or changes in ways of life.

I'm An Autism Mummy And Proud
Right now, I am the proudest mummy.
I had my son's first parents evening (in the morning!) and couldn't be prouder of my little man.
In life we all face challenges, and some are far worse than others. And I certainly don't class autism as one of the worst - far from it. When Josh got diagnosed as being Autistic when he was two years old, I remember thinking I could take that diagnosis and let it be something that labelled him, and boxed him in for the rest of his life. I met so many people who were "devastated" by their child's autism diagnosis, and I just couldn't understand that mentality. I've never had that mindset, and Josh has never had that label - nor will he ever.
Autism isn't the end of the world, it's just a different way of looking at things. And since when did different mean worse? Josh is bright, and sharp and has the best sense of humor. He's the happiest child, with a flair for life that daily inspires me to keep seeking out the goodness in life, and stop allowing the bad things to weigh me down. The way Josh looks at the world may be different, but it's the most inspiring outlook I've ever seen in another person.
At his Parents Evening I listened to how clever he is, how popular he is and what a joy he is to be around and I couldn't help but shed a tear as I got back to my car. Josh's start in life could have been far worse, but it's not been the easiest - he's had a further special needs diagnosis since the autism, he's spent time in hospital in his early years, I'm a single mummy and that doesn't always mean I can afford to give him what he wants, but he's overcome everything that's come his way - with a huge smile!
People with autism face huge stigma from others, but as far as I can see, we should all take a leaf out of their books - especially when they're like Josh - funny, loving, alert and more forgiving than anyone else I've ever met.
..I originally shared this on Facebook, to raise awareness that autism isn't 'worse'. Please feel free to share the original post, if I can reach even one other family facing turmoil due to autism and show them that it really isn't the end of the world - then I'll be happy... Original post here.

As many people who work in the medical industry know, scrubs are a required and important part of their work attire. These very plain articles of clothing can seem drab and unfashionable to those working in this industry. This can be bothersome for those who wish to be seen in a more fashionable way. Fortunately, people are not limited to the boring green or blue solid scrubs of yesterday. One could easily browse the website to find the scrubs that suit their personal style and comfort.
What are scrubs?
Scrubs are a sanitary clothing originally worn by surgeons and operating room personnel. These clothing articles were put on when scrubbing into a surgery. This gave them the name "scrubs". Scrubs are preferred in these settings because they are designed to be cheap and easy to launder. They also provide minimal places for contaminants to hide, making it easier to ensure cleanliness in the operating room. Scrubs have become the preferred option for medical staff in every department.
Scrubs outside the operating room
Many hospitals and medical facilities have opted to require all personnel to wear scrubs throughout their workday. The versatility and low-cost of this clothing have been found to be useful in every aspect of these facilities. Medical staff can often interact with bodily fluids in every area of the hospital, even those not working directly with the patients. In addition, they can provide a great way to make all employees easily identifiable by visitors.
Scrubs outside the medical industry
Easy to clean and cheap to replace clothing is very beneficial to a variety of industries. Although not surprising, veterinarians and animal clinics utilize scrubs for their staff for many of the same reasons as hospitals do. Other businesses have also found these articles of clothing helpful. For example, beauty salons and pet groomers have found scrubs to be a convenient option for their workday.
This expansion of scrubs has created a need for more options. Many businesses who utilize scrubs outside the medical industry prefer to have more colorful options available. In addition, many people enjoy the chance to express their personal style at work. Fortunately, there are shops that can provide a plethora of styles and colors to suit the needs and preferences of almost anyone required to wear scrubs. This can make the workday a little more enjoyable.

June J-birds
It will soon be the 4th of July and already the booms and bangs are being heard in the neighborhood. They send the cats under the beds, but the horses don't seem to notice. It is a lot easier to soothe an anxious cat than doing the same for a 900 pound horse, so I am not complaining. But fireworks are pretty expensive, so to put on much of a show you need $$$$. And it is all over in 10 minutes, I don't see the attraction of firing off a few rockets and flash bangs.
When I was a kid one of the neighborhood kids lost an eye to a firecracker when he put one in a can and then looked at it when it didn't go off, the very thing they teach kids not to do. And where were the parents? Inside watching TV would be my guess.
We went to a nearby mall on the anniversary of their first year in business and watched a phenomenal show by the Zambelli family, all co-ordinated to a musical score that was broadcast over a local radio station. Incredible show. Maybe a thousand families there, all OOOhing and AAAhing . It has been 20+ years now and I still remember.
When we lived in San Francisco, on the fourth of July in 1976, there was this magnificent firework program due to be set off on Alcatraz Island. Tens of thousands of people, all sitting anywhere there was a sight of the island, we were at the Marina. About 15 minutes before it was due to start, one of SF's well-known fogs rolled in through the Golden Gate and completely hid the island. We could all hear the firecracker noise, but couldn't see a thing. Everybody went OOh and AAh as if they could really see something, an inside joke I guess. I heard that the tall buildings had a wonderful view of the fireworks above the fog and reflected in it. Or so we read in the paper the next day. It was quite a let-down. Except for all the pot smoke in the air.
Bumper sticker for the day: "Don't worry what people think. They don't do it very often."

I am...
...feeling sore lately. Most everyday I am either waking up with a headache/migraine or just waking up with tention in my shoulders & neck. Not sure what is causing this. Naturally you're suppose to go to the doctor to find out why, but i'm not really liking our current doctor (sorry but I like my doctors to speak english). And our insurance is changing once the new year starts, so I don't want to change doctors til that is in effect. And when I do get around to getting an appointment I want to get labs done (since i've never had any done. ever!) that way I will be up to date on what the heck my body is doing.
...I'm always one to DIY -- and I've been very creative in that sense. In the past I've picked up knitting but never really made it long enough to actually knit something (funny how that works). So, for my goal this month is to re-kindle my relationship with knitting needles & a ball of yarn. Wish me luck!
...extremely grateful for my boyfriend.
...obsessed with New Moon (it's bad!). I can't express how much I am looking forward to the movie. I swear before bed every night I whip out my Itouch and watch all the trailers.
...lately I've been wishing the whole middle part of the United States would just split away from the eastside & westside & just move elsewhere (i don't care where). Just so Washington & Pennsylvania could be side my side. I'm thinking this feeling is currently stronger than ever because there are only 40 days til our trip out to Seattle. Knowing that means eventually leaving, which is always very hard for me.
...and currently, that's me in three winks...
I wish everyone a happy day!!

It is that weekend which has been eagerly anticipated by the drinkers of Huddersfield. We do not have one beer festival this weekend, but two. There is the Sportsman Fifth Birthday celebration at one end of town and at the other the Rat and Ratchet festival. I managed a sneak preview of both yesterday.
I started at the Sportsman. They promise 8 beers on the bar, all from local breweries, and all specials for the occasion. They are also advertising music and food, at various times over the weekend should this be your thing. But I was there for the beer, so what did I find ?
I started my trip down the bar with Briggs Signature Ales 'Five Down', a 3.7% dry hopped special. It was a good starting beer, light coloured, pleasantly hopped but not overly aggressive, an excellent session beer. I followed this with its stablemate Mallinsons 'V - The Fifth', another dry hopper and what one would expect from a Mallys beer. Another winner.
Time for a change of colour. Golcar 'Pentium Mild' was what it said. Darker and stronger at 4.3%, and a little disappointing. I had hoped for more flavour but is seemed a little bland to my taste. Anyway there were other beers to sample so next up was the Sportsman's own addition to the festival called 'Quaff' . Another 3.9% light beer and although pleasant was not exceptional. Empire 'Sports/sam' was a bit stronger but still light and hoppy, and a typical Empire beer.(Its strange to think that we can now identify local breweries by their taste alone !)
Riverhead 'Pink Grapefruit' came in at 5.5%, and promised much in the way of flavour, but I failed to get any of the promised grapefruit taste sadly unless this was because I had the first beer from the barrel.Anyway two beers to go - Outstanding and Sportsman had collaborated over '5' - a 5% light beer and very drinkable but not especially hoppy but none the worse for that. My last beer was possibly the best of the day though. Nook 'Hoppy Fifth' was only 3.8% and for some reason I had missed it on my trip down the bar. I was very impressed by the light beer, there was certainly some bitterness and hoppiness there, but balanced by a very pleasant malty background. I was almost tempted to have a second.
Good luck Sam and congratulations from all at a 'Swift One'. It does not seem 5 years since the doors opened at the Sportsman, and it has become a firm fixture on the Huddersfield beer scene having won many accolades along the way.
I then made my way along to The Rat to see what they could offer for their festival. They started their event last evening with a meet the brewer event and a tutored beer tasting, and today the festival proper starts with a bar full of Rat beers with plenty of old favourites rubbing shoulders with new beers. There are beers to suit all tastes (even Julie's !!) ranging from traditional beer styles to Imperial Russian Stouts, from the weak to the strong and from the almost see though to the very dark. The full list is available on our facebook page but all the beers are not on the bar at once.
I particularly wanted to try the 'Giant Rat'. I must admit I had not read the small print, as I expected a strong beer. It is actually a 3.8% English style bitter, named after the local rugby team, and an excellent example of its style - hopped with Bramling Cross - my favourite English hop. The strong beer turned out to be 'Mutant Rat', at 5% 'White Rat's bigger brother and if you like White Rat I expect you will love this. Bursting with Amarillo hops.'Maori Mouse' is 3.6% Southern Hemisphere hopped beer, subtle and very drinkable, 'Rata Nui' is 5% and similar but using different hops and more aggressively hoppy.
For the dark beer drinker 'Dirty Rat', 'Black Rat' and 'Mother Rat' are all promised, being a mild, a porter and a milk stout respectively. I tried the Mother Rat but found it a bit sweet for my taste.
There is 'A Monkey' as well. Not a Rat name - well a bit of Cockney slang here. It is the Rat's 500th brew. A 6.0% red ale with lots of flavour, and just to tempt us a little more, some of it has been sent off to be aged in whisky casks for a later date. That will be worth waiting for.
The festival starts at midday today and goes on all weekend, so you will have plenty of time to get down and try all that is on offer.
Having seen the weather forecast it seems just the way to idle your weekend away. May see you there.

"Corned" Beets with Onions
Recipe by Tami Ganeles Weiser; photo contributed by Ame Gilbert
half-cup servings (1 quart total)
Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes
"Corning" is a culinary preservation technique that uses salt and seasoning to "pickle" beef. Borrowing the technique, this quick refrigerator pickle is a reduced-sodium version of a classic comfort food, a Russian Jewish–style beet treat. Note that you'll need a quart-sized container or several smaller jars, preferably glass, with tight-fitting lids, to make these pickled beets, and that you will need to marinate them for three days.
A perky, homey dish like this would traditionally be garnished with sour cream, but it is also delicious with crumbled low-fat farmer's cheese, a mild goat cheese, or cubed silken tofu. Serve it on a sturdy rye cracker, like Finn Crisp or a Wasa bread. Or for a very different crostata-style appetizer, try some on toasted seeded rye bread with a schmear of cream cheese underneath.
2 pounds red beets, scrubbed but not peeled
½ small sweet onion, cut into very thin slices (approximately ½ cup)
1 cup white vinegar
1½ cups water
½ cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
½ teaspoon celery seeds
10 allspice berries
8 juniper berries
4 cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed
4 bay leaves
3 cardamom pods, white or green, gently smashed
2 cloves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Put the beets into a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil until the beets are tender, 45 minutes or longer depending on the size of the beets. Drain, allow to cool, and then trim the ends of the beets and peel them. Slice into ¼-inch slices (To hasten cooling, you can put the unpeeled beets into a bowl of ice water.)
- While the beets are cooking and cooling, assemble the pickling spices and place and the other brine ingredients into a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place a quarter of the onions in a quart-sized container or several smaller containers (preferably glass) that have tight-fitting lids, add a quarter of the beets, and repeat, alternating layers of onions and beets, until the jar is full and packed. Pour the brine, spices and all, over the beets, making sure the beets and onions are covered completely. If they are not, add enough water to cover. Screw the lid onto the jar and refrigerate for three days, giving the jar a little shake once a day.

Everything you need to know about the art of living from the happiest people on the planet.
What Is Hygge?: The Ultimate Guide to Cozy Living
You may have heard a lot about "hygge" recently. The word "hygge" was on TIME Magazine and the Oxford Dictionary's shortlist for the 2016 word of the year and it is popping up in books and the press. A trend that the Danish consider a fundamental part of living, the concept of hygge has been making its way to the U.S. for some time now. But what is hygge, and how do you pronounce it, anyway?
Hygge, pronounced "hue-guh," is a word the Danish use to characterize a quality of coziness and warmth. Essentially, it describes a warm atmosphere that fosters bringing good people together to enjoy the good things in life. Some things that may be considered hygge include:
- The warm glow of a candle
- Cozy, thick, wool socks
- Mulled wine next to a fireplace with good friends
- Enjoying a pastry while watching the rain through a window
Perhaps the concept of hygge is making its way to the U.S. at a time when Americans need a respite from more serious current events. Or maybe we have social media to thank, where people are increasingly using #hygge to accompany photos of candlelit rooms and dinners.
Either way, hygge is more than just a pair of warm socks. We set out to discover what exactly makes a moment "hyggelig" (one that is very hygge).
The #1 Place for Happiness in the World
Hygge is more than just a room full of candles. It's a philosophy and a way of life.
To fully understand and appreciate the art of hygge, we must first understand a bit about Danish culture.
The word itself derives from a sixteenth-century Norwegian term, hugga, which means "to comfort or to console." It is related to the English word "hug." It can be used as a noun, adjective or a verb.
In Denmark, winter temperatures are almost always at or below freezing, and daily sunlight is limited to 4 to 8 hours a day, tops. However, Denmark is consistently ranked as the #1 country for happiness in the world.
So how can such a cold, dark place conjure such a happy, warm culture? If you ask any Danish person how they maintain their happiness and warmth during such dark, cold winter days, they will likely tell you it is hygge that keeps them warm.
Such a central part of life for people living in Denmark, hygge is something the Danish don't often explain and doesn't translate to any one word in English. In a few words, to the Danish, hygge is:
- Intimacy they create to make life bearable (and even great)
- Taking time to slow down to appreciate the little moments in your day
- Embracing small pleasures, such as petting a dog or watching a sunset
- Indulging and taking a break from healthy living. Cake is very hyggelig, especially if you made it yourself.
- Giving yourself a break
- Creating family traditions, such as camping trips, weekend hikes or vacations with others.
- Finding joy in imperfection and not taking life too seriously
- Being kind
- Connecting with people you love
- Having a sense of humor
How to Hygge
So how can you incorporate the secret ingredient to the Danish recipe for happiness?
Enjoy a good book: Curl up with a great classic or a book a friend lent to you to enjoy.
Play games with your family: Turn off the TV and have a family board game night.
Indulge in a pastry made by a friend: Confections are central to hygge. Taking a break from healthy food to indulge a bit can be healthy, too.
Relax: Visit a sauna, or have a DIY spa day at home complete with candles and warm tea.
Find little ways to bring joy: Purchase some beautiful stationery. Call a friend you've lost touch with. Buy yourself flowers.
Hot drinks: Have a cup of hot chocolate next to the fireplace. Enjoy a latte with a friend or loved one.
Buy quirky home decor that makes you laugh: Pillows with puppies on them, ironic signs and art that makes you smile are all hyggelig.
Create a nook: Place a comfortable chair in your house next to the window. Surround it with books, a small basket of warm socks and a cozy throw.
Enjoy your fireplace: Don't just reserve your fireplace for frigid nights. Light a fireplace to enjoy with dinner.
Place candles around your home: When Danes are asked what they most associate with hygge, 85 percent will mention candles. More than half of Danes light candles almost every day, and only 4 percent say they almost never light candles.
Turn off the phone: Disconnect. Close your email. Perhaps take a full break from technology for the weekend.
Enjoy seasonal produce: Many hygge elements are focused on warmth and the winter. But you can create hygge by enjoying a juicy peach at your summer farmer's market, too. Or by enjoying a glass of local wine or beer on your porch at night.
Create an emergency hygge kit
In his book, "The Little Book of Hygge," author and CEO of the Happiness Research Institute suggests creating an emergency hygge kit for when you need help relaxing or lifting your spirits. Include:
- Candles: Because they light so many candles, Danish rely on unscented ones that don't elicit the chemicals smelly candles do.
- Socks: Place a pair of warm wool or cashmere socks in your kit. Include some lotion to put on your feet before you wrap them up.
- Chocolate: A small indulgence is essential to a hygge kit.
- Headphones: Make sure you have a favorite Pandora station or Spotify playlist accessible to set the mood.
- Books or magazines: Include your favorite reading material
- A journal: You may want to include a notebook for sketching, or writing down what's on your mind.
- A favorite recipe: One from a family member or friend that you love to make is a great addition to your kit.
There is nothing more hyggelig than good nourishment from good people
We are good folks over at Healthy Human! We believe that human kindness leads to world kindness. That human health leads to world health. Join us in nourishing your body with our 100% BPA-free, stainless steel bottles. Don't let winter leave us without curling up with a cup of mulled wine with friends like the Danish do!

Indians can now look to playing for Asian football clubsFebruary 8th, 2009 - 11:33 am ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Feb 8 (IANS) Imagine young Indian footballers like Sunil Chettri turning out for Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia or N.P. Pradeep donning the jersey of South Korea's FC Seoul. The day is not far because a new rule of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has opened a window of opportunity for Indian players to play for top clubs in the region.
The AFC in October had announced that in all the professional leagues run on its format, clubs can field four overseas players but one of them has to be from the Asian continent.
The step has been taken to promote Asian talent and will come into effect from this year's Asian Champions League and Asian Cup for which the Federation Cup and the I-League winners qualify from India.
South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have already implemented the rule and India is likely to do so from the 2009-10 I-League.
While I-League coaches feel fielding four overseas players is not in the interest of Indian football, the rider to include one player from the region should help home-grown footballers to find their way into some of the prosperous leagues in the region instead of going westward.
Some overseas clubs have already shown interest in Pradeep, Chettri and Steven Dias. While Chettri went to England for trials at Coventry City, Pradeep and Dias are in touch with clubs in Europe and the United States.
On young India forward Chettri's Coventry trip, former national coach Sukhwinder Singh of JCT told IANS that penetrating into European clubs is "tough but not impossible".
"While it is not easy to get into European clubs, it is not impossible as Bhaichung (Bhutia) has proved. The Indians can at best get into the lower division clubs, but even there they can't be sure of a regular place. What is the big deal of warming the bench? Instead, if you get a chance to play in a top club in Saudi Arabia or Japan, it is much better," he said.
India captain Bhutia was the second Indian player after Mohammad Salim to play in a foreign league. While Salim played for Scottish club Celtic in 1936, Bhutia had a three-year stint (1999-2002) with English team Bury. Bhutia also had a three-month stint in 2006 with Malaysia's Perak on loan from East Bengal.
Speaking on his experience, Bhutia said: "It is tough for Indian footballers to get a work permit in England. We should cash in on the new AFC rule. Leagues in South Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia are of a high standard and Indian players will benefit playing in them."
Mohun Bagan's Moroccan coach Karim Bencherifa has a different take. He says Asian clubs will be interested in the Indians because, one, they have qualified for the Asia Cup finals and, two, the country's champion club Dempo entered the AFC Cup semi-finals.
"Playing in the Asia Cup is a big thing. The spotlight will be on the India squad and some players are bound to get noticed. They should try their luck in South Korean, Iranian and Saudi Clubs. If an Indian club can make it to the AFC Cup semi-finals, I don't see any reason why the players can't strike it rich," he said.
India coach Bob Houghton feels it is just a matter of time before one player makes the grade overseas and then paves the way for others.
"It won't be long before the first one goes and does well and then many more will follow. When I went to China in 1998 there were no Chinese playing outside of China and after eight years there were seven or eight players in the Premiership. So once clubs become aware that there are good Indian players they will take more of them," he said.
It should happen sooner than later. Indian football has come a long way and is looking up.

Whole Foods, Wound Care & 'Fast Food Nation'
This is not a word association game. This summarizes my day yesterday. A world of extremes.
I began my day yesterday going to Whole Foods to pick up a sandwich to propel me on trip to see a client (I hate eating fast food–long before I saw the above movie). The store had just opened and as I walked to the back of the store where they keep the prepared sandwiches, I was blown away quantity and quality of the meat, chicken and fish behind the glass cases. The different products were looking fresh and inviting as they sat lined up in perfect rows. I guess it really stood out yesterday because there were so few other people in the store to distract me. Everything was pristine.
I then got on a plane to meet with a client and her family. My client, Nellie, an 82-year-old woman had developed a stage 4 pressure sore on her coccyx within three weeks of her admission to a nursing home. The pressure sore had gotten so bad that she had gangrene in the wound and was transferred to a special wound care wing of the hospital.
Two to a small room, laid the mostly elderly patients, on their sides faced towards the windows as the staff tried take pressure off of pressure sores on their backside. The smell of waste and rotting flesh was obvious despite the facilities attempt to cover up the scent with room sanitizers. Most were incontinent and laid in soiled beds while the hospital tried to get by with an abbreviated weekend staff. Even with an involved family such as my client's, the people sit and wait for the staff to tend to their needs. A priest darted around the hall into and out of rooms–it was obvious by the speed at which her worked many of these people were could not spare more than a few seconds. This was no Whole Foods.
I then got back on the plane and went home and turned on the television. "Fast food nation' was on. 'Fast food nation' describes how a fast food restaurant chain's desire for bigger, cheaper hamburgers leads a meat packing plant to cut corners and allow fecal material into the hamburger meat. The restaurant begin to panic when they consider how the public may react if they learn of the contaminated meat.
Why do we insist upon clean well presented food in restaurants and stores yet allow many in our elderly population to sit in facilities where livestock gets treated better? Can you imagine what would happen to Whole Foods sales if they replaced the richly colored meat with rotting carcasses?

Eight spectators were killed and at least a dozen injured in a car accident that occurred the night of August 14, 2010 after an off-road racer lost control of his vehicle in Johnson Valley. According to a news report in the Los Angeles Times, a driver of a modified 2000 Ford Ranger, participating in the California 200 race near Lucerne Valley, slammed into a crowd of spectators who were standing too close to the track. Out of the eight fatally injured victims, seven have been identified. They are – Zachary Freeman, 24, Dustin C. Malson, 24, Danica Frantzich, 20, Brian Wolfin, 27, Andrew Therrin, 22, Aaron Farkas, 25, and Anthony Sanchez, 23. The racer who lost control of his vehicle has been identified as 28-year-old Brett Sloppy. He has not been charged yet in connection with this crash. Officials do not believe alcohol or drugs were factors in this accident.
I offer my deepest condolences to the families and friends of these deceased victims for their tragic, untimely and heartbreaking loss. These grieving families will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers.
Debate about Safety Measures
This catastrophic accident has sparked off discussions both, among those who are avid off-roaders and others who criticize the sport. They are now talking about why the promoter of the 200-mile nighttime race allowed spectators to get so close. Many are also asking why the federal Bureau of Land Management allowed such an event to take place – especially one that presented an extremely dangerous environment where things could turn deadly in a fraction of a second, as it did Saturday night. No doubt, these events have the potential to cause catastrophic injuries or death to those watching and near the area.
Liability Issues
There are several questions that arise here. Did the organizer routinely allow the crowds of spectators, estimated to be in thousands, to gather so close to the race track? Why were there no fences or barriers? Were there paid security personnel to make sure the crowd was orderly? According to many news reports, California 200 races are run with volunteers who help with crowd control. Who is really accountable for public safety at these events? I trust local law enforcement as well as federal officials will look into these issues not only determine who was at fault in this case, but to look closely at what policy changes are need to avoid these horrible tragedies in the future.
Families of the deceased victims and seriously injured victims in this case would be well-served to consult an experienced California personal injury lawyer, who will stay on top of the official investigation and make sure that their legal rights and best interests are protected. Victims or their families would be well-advised not to sign agreements, talk to insurance adjusters or attorneys for other parties until they have discussed the case with their own lawyer.
What policy changes would you like to see in future off-road races? Would you go to such an event?

What that means is you will need to make the tint legal again by removing the front two roll up windows. When you strip the front two windows you will be back to a legal window tint. You will then need to take your car to have it inspected by someone at the courthouse and then you will pay the fines they will apply. Window tint is considered a secondary offense and you cant get pulled over for just illegal window tint.

Curriculum & Assessment
The school caters for children from Reception to Year Four.
The children start school in the September after their fourth birthday and leave to start Middle School in the September following their ninth birthday.
Children are in classes with children from one year band, and occasionally from two year bands.
The main building has classrooms for yrs 1 - 4 and a separate building across our playground has classrooms for the reception year. Than main building also has a large hall for assembly, lunch and PE, a library and an ICT suite. We have a large playing field, two small playgrounds and an outside are for reception. We also have an environmental garden.
The school follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum and the National Curriculum.
The EYFS is divided into seven areas:
- Communication and Language (CL)
- Physical Development (PD)
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)
- Literacy (LY)
- Mathematics (MA)
- Understanding of the World (UTW)
- Expressive Arts and Design (EAD)
The National Curriculum is split into the following subjects:
- English
- Maths
- Science
- Design Technology (DT)
- Religious Education (RE)
- Physical Education (PE)
- Music
- History
- Geography
- Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)
- Art and Design
Phonics teaching is based on Letters and Sounds and a variety of reading schemes are used including Oxford Reading Tree.
Some subjects are taught separately and some are taught in a linked way in meaningful topics. Some subjects are taught daily, some weekly and some in blocks.
All lessons have clear learning objectives and teaching is differentiated in order to meet individual needs. Children have learning targets and assessment is on-going to adjust targets and individual plans as appropriate.
The curriculum is enhanced through topic teaching, following children's ideas and interests and encouraging independent learning. Educational visits and events in school also enhance the curriculum and create memorable experiences for the children.
The New National Curriculum 2014
The National Curriculum in England is in a process of transition. During the course of this academic year and beyond to 2015, the obligation to teach programmes of study from the existing National Curriculum will be disapplied and new programmes of study and attainment targets will completely replace the National Curriculum.
The main aim is to raise standards. Although the new curriculum is intended to be more challenging, the content is slimmer than the current curriculum, focusing on essential core subject knowledge and skills such as essay writing and computer programming.
The table below summarises the main changes.
What's new?
Stronger emphasis on vocabulary development, grammar, punctuation and spelling (for example, the use of commas and apostrophes will be taught in KS1)
Handwriting – not currently assessed under the National Curriculum – is expected to be fluent, legible and speedy.
Spoken English has a greater emphasis, with children to be taught debating and presenting skills.
Five-year-olds will be expected to learn to count up to 100 (compared to 20 under the current curriculum) and learn number bonds to 20 (currently up to 10)
Simple fractions (1/4 and 1/2) will be taught from KS1, and by the end of Year 6, children should be able to convert decimal fractions to simple fractions (e.g. 0.375 = 3/8)
By the age of nine, children will be expected to know times tables up to 12x12 (currently 10x10 by the end of Year 6)
Calculators will not be introduced until near the end of KS2 (Year 6), to encourage mental arithmetic
Strong focus on scientific knowledge and language, rather than using the nature and methods of science in abstract terms
Evolution will be taught in primary schools for the first time
Design & Technology
Afforded greater importance under the new curriculum, setting children on the path to becoming the designers and engineers of the future
More sophisticated use of design equipment such as electronics and robotics
In KS2, children will learn about how key events and individuals in design and technology have shaped the world
Computing replaces Information and Communication Technology (ICT), with a greater focus on programming rather than on operating programs
From age five, children will learn to write and test simple programs, and to organise, store and retrieve data
From seven, they will be taught to understand computer networks, including the internet
Internet safety – currently only taught from 11-16 – will be taught in primary schools
Currently not statutory, a modern foreign language or ancient language (Latin or Greek) will be mandatory in KS2
Children will be expected to master basic grammar and accurate pronunciation and to converse, present, read and write in the language

Major General Francois Ndiaye, the head of ECOWAS operations in Gambia, said Kanilai, the birthplace of ex-president Yahya Jammeh, is a private residence and military presence there will be ended.
Kanilai, a two-hour drive to Banjul is reported to have secured bunkers that stored heavy weapons close to the border with Senegal where Mr. Jammeh can start an insurgency.
"The man is capable. In Kanilai, he has bunkers. I have reliable sources that [say that] he has bunkers. I have been reliably informed that he has treasure in Kanilai, he's sitting on a treasure, on gold as they say," said the country's Vice President Fatoumata Tambajang, who was the chair of the coalition then.
It was reported that heavy weapons were missing from the armory of the presidential guard unit. Jammeh had troops stationed in Kanilai, which was his de facto political capital.
General Ndiaye now says all "ammunitions and weapons" are under the control of the regional forces.
ECOWAS will be reducing its troops in The Gambia. Its mission was to depose Jammeh and secure the capital to ensure President Adama Barrow's safety.
Barrow has returned to Banjul to take over power and Gambian military officers are cooperating with the regional troops to ensure a smooth transition after former leader Yahya Jammeh fled to Equatorial Guinea.

Merchbanc Modernizes Communications with Avaya IP
Spring is right around the corner, and we all know what that means – spring cleaning time! It's a time for out with the old and in with the new. When we evaluate the deep questions like, "Do I still wear this shirt?" or "These jeans have a hole in them, but I'll still wear them, right?". The enterprise is constantly tasked with this type of triage, and for many it's difficult to move beyond current systems in place to modernize operations. Today, it seems Merchbanc is doing some spring cleaning a bit early, announcing it has cast aside its legacy communications and implemented an Avaya "full stack."
The deployment will provide the Spanish financial services group with voice, video and data, as part of the company's modernization project, which is focused on meeting regulatory compliance requirements, security of customer data and sensitive communications in addition to overall efficiency.
Now, Merchbanc can build a private cloud leveraging the Avaya IP Office Server Edition, which adds improved disaster recovery for bank offices as well as reliability. In addition to the "full stack" and cloud-bound communications, Merchbanc also deployed Avaya Ethernet 3500 routing switches and Contact Recorder IP Office (to ensure compliance). Users can easily access records of recordings via Web browser, and review details associated with each call.
"We needed to modernize our corporate technology and make the jump to a latest generation IP telephony system. It is very clear that telephony is strategic to our business. Professionalism and the expertise of Infocom, backed by the prestige of the Avaya brand, gave us the final push to embark on this complete renovation project which we have implemented in our three offices," explained Miquel Reig, director of IT at Merchbanc.
In this instance, Avaya credits its channel partner, Infocom, for the sale and delivery of the solution, serving as a perfect example of the power of a strong partner network.
The Merchbanc modernization project is putting the financial firm in a position to compete today, while remaining in compliance with strict regulatory guidelines and prepared for the future. Sometimes spring cleaning can prove quite painful; however, the end result is usually quite fulfilling.

Containers are the best option for permaculture gardeners that don't have enough space to plant some trees in their garden. There is nothing bad about growing a tree in a container, it will grow just as good as if they were planted in the ground.
People that live in some special climate where the soil in the property is not good for planting trees or any other plant. Usually find this method of planting in containers extremely helpful.
The great thing about these containers is that they can be moved quite easily. That is perfect for people that don't have a permanent home. Containers will allow them to transfer their planted trees into some other home or location at any given time.
Benefits of Planting in Containers
The benefit that these containers will give you is that you will be able to move them wherever you want with the least amount of effort. Fruit trees are usually planted in the zone 2 or 3. With these containers, you will be able to grow the within the zone 1.
That means that you will be able to have them right in your home. Older people that are into gardening have found these containers very helpful to grow fruit trees in. That is because they don't have to walk a long distance to get to them.
The regenerative leadership institute has stated that the fruit trees require a lot of sunshine at least 5 hours per day.
Knowing that, if you plant them in the ground there is a chance that they will not get their required sun time. Growing them in these containers, you will not have that problem because you will be able to move them around and position them in some sunny spot.
That way your fruit trees will get constant sunshine and that will benefit them, therefore they will grow much faster and healthier. People sometimes have a problem growing fruit trees in their gardens. This is because they don't realize that these trees require a lot more sunshine than any other plant or tree.
Fruit trees are usually topical trees that like the sunshine and warm weather. Therefore, they are not very good in a cold climate when they are exposed to winter and snow. Having them planted in containers, you will have the option of moving them inside your home during the winter season. That way you will protect it for the next summer season from any frost and snow.
