Our mindset work
We believe that having a growth mindset is critical for young people across Scotland to achieve their personal best in life and fulfil their potential.
This mindset, researched by Stanford University's Professor Carol Dweck, helps young people to have a love of learning, thrive on challenges and build resilience when things don't always go to plan.
A growth mindset is something that children can learn, but there is also a key role for parents, teachers, and other adults in a child's life to play in ensuring they create a growth mindset environment.
Our mindset project is focussed on three areas: sport, education and communities.
What is a growth mindset?
Individuals can approach their own abilities with either a fixed or growth mindset.
Fixed mindset - believe that we're born with a fixed level of natural ability, intelligence or talent. Feel that our talents and abilities determine our level of success in the future. We might think we 'are no good at numbers', 'am the sporty one', 'am naturally great at art' but 'am rubbish with words'. Think we should find our talents easy, and avoid the setbacks and challenges that the things we're not so good at present us with.
Growth mindset - believe our level of success is determined by factors such as effort, application and skills development. Feel that our talents, abilities and intelligence can be learned and developed. We might think 'I'm not very good at this... yet', 'I need more practise', 'I'll have to try harder next time'. Appreciate the value of success because we've had to work hard to achieve it and use challenges as opportunities to learn.
Working with education and communities
Along with our partners we've been testing new techniques and producing materials to help develop growth mindsets in young people.
We are creating resources, tools and materials for teaching growth mindset and building learning and sharing networks so we can reach out to as many people as possible who work with children.
We have been working with a number of education authorities:
- Delivering workshops within Glasgow, Angus, Fife and West Dunbartonshire
- Developing a programme in Stirling and Clackmannanshire incorporating sport and mindset
- Developed a community based approach across Dundee, involving education, health and other community agencies.
Where can I find out more?
We have a whole host of information, tools and resources available for you to download and use in your schools and communities.
There are leaflets, lesson plans, slides and more. These are available from our Mindset in Education GLOW blogsite, which is accessible by everyone.
If you would like to enquire about how our growth mindset work could help you, please contact Alison Hennessy, 07812 062 899 .

The NFL's 32 owners approved a new personal conduct policy on Wednesday in the wake of the Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson controversies.
The policy empowers the league to conduct their own investigations independent from law enforcement and suspend players for six games for violence, with an emphasis on violence against women and children. A nine member committee of owners will annually review and in part oversee the policy. An outside group of experts will advise on appeals.
Much of the announced policy merely mirrors ongoing practice and already announced changes. Its design appears to keep the commissioner as divorced as possible from the decision making through the owner committee, outside experts, and automatic penalties leaving little to Roger Goodell's discretion.
"An individual may be put on paid leave if formally charged with a violent crime or sexual assault, or if the NFL investigation finds sufficient credible evidence that it appears a violation of the policy has occurred," an NFL flow chart explains. "Paid leave will last until the completion of the NFL investigation or disposition of a criminal charge."
The policy affirms suspensions, like the one Ben Roethlisberger received in 2010, for alleged offenses that don't result in criminal convictions. Public-relations headaches who haven't incurred the wrath of the legal system may find themselves off the field but not out of a paycheck in a manner akin to the league's treatment of Adrian Peterson prior to his indefinite suspension.
The NFL Players Association criticized the heavy-handed decision that it says left out players and the union.
"Our union has not been offered the professional courtesy of seeing the NFL's new personal conduct policy before it hit the presses," the players union maintained in a statement. "Their unilateral decision and conduct today is the only thing that has been consistent over the past few months."

Who do I ask if I have a problem?
Questions regarding aircraft or flight dynamics should be addressed to Nick Botamer. Questions about the panel should be addressed to Bill Grabowski.
Where do I go if I can't find the answer
to my question here?
For technical support, visit the PROJECT ERJ DISCUSSION FORUM.
How do I activate the auto-throttle?
ERJ's are not equipped with an auto-throttle. As such, the pilots control the aircraft's speed at all times during flight.
Why don't my thrust reversers work?
Not all ERJs are equipped with thrust reversers. To see if your ERJ has them or not, look at the name of the air file. If the last letter is an "n" (for example: ER3-nb-s-n.air), then it does not have reversers. If the air file ends with the letter "t", then it does have reversers.
I can see the VC panel when I look left
and right in the 2D panel mode. How can I remove this?
This is normal and the way it should be. If the panel is properly installed and updated, when you are not looking straight ahead in the 2D panel mode, you will see parts of the virtual cockpit. There is no way to remove the VC from 2D panel mode without completely removing the VC, which can only be done with the FSDSv2 source files. (The FSDSv2 source files will not be made available for public use. Nor will there be a version without the VC.)

Exit133 is about Tacoma
Tacoma strong mayor ballot item could have unintended consequences
On the ballots showing up in Tacoma mailboxes, there are several items causing a bit of controversy. One of them, titled "Citizens' Charter Amendment Initiative Measure No. 2" would make changes to the way Tacoma's government functions.
This is the return of one of the recommendations of the Charter Review Commission - one that didn't make it past the City Council to the voters last November. But it's in the voters' hands now... although it may be a little flawed as written. The TNT's Kate Martin takes a closer look at the measure - its intent, its background, some of the mistakes/issues pointed out by the City attorney and others, and the rebuttal to those issues from supporters.
Issues raised by challengers include the accidental omission of the "Powers of the People" section of Tacoma's Charter, as well as problems that could leave Tacoma without a mayor or a city manager for a few months immediately following the election, allow a tied council vote to pass, make council terms indefinite, and eliminate the initiative petition process.
While every item on the ballot is important, this would be a particularly good one to pay attention to.Read more at The News Tribune

How do we responsibly educate an entire profession in the fundamental aspect of Optometry?
The Myopia Management Education Package developed by the Brien Holden Vision Institute Academy has tools and modules built on supporting data, to educate practitioners and their staff to offer Myopia Management to every patient…everywhere.
How will eye care practitioners manage this escalation?
"I think Optometrists are obligated to take a front line role in the management of myopia. If we can reduce Myopia by 40 or 50%, then that has a huge public health benefit"
This course was excellent in terms of content, relevance and the way in which it was presented. I have learnt a huge amount about managing Myopia and my confidence has improved significantly.
Fantastic course. Very relevant and exciting in that it actually changes the way I practice for the first time in many, many years.
The most update clinical evidence are compiled, organised and presented through video playing as well as interactive interface.
I found the entire course valuable.

Top 3 Tuesday: Best Soft Serve
3. Jason's Deli - Wellington, FL
I don't know what's special about the chocolate soft serve at the Jason's Deli in Wellington, FL, but it's different than any other Jason's Deli I've been to. I'm usually not a fan of the chocolate at Jason's Deli, but this location did something to make their chocolate soft serve extra rich and creamy, giving it a texture that was similar to a cold chocolate mousse. There's something secret and amazing about this stuff.
2. Twistee Treat - Orlando, FL
One of the best ways to cool off on a hot, summer day in Orlando is by finding some great ice cream. Twistee Treat has multiple locations in the Orlando area and you can usually recognize them by the building, which is the shape of an ice cream cone. It's the type of place that fits any summer vacation. The flavors are simple - chocolate, vanilla, & strawberry - but they're all delicious. My personal favorite is the chocolate-vanilla swirl.
If you've read my review on the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, you know I'm a big fan. This small shop in Manhattan serves some incredibly unique and tasty flavors with a certain amount of flair that makes it a one-of-a-kind experience. The American Globs with chocolate ice cream was the best, creamiest soft serve I've ever had. It was chocolate ice cream coated in chocolate that was dipped in pretzels and sea salt. It's happiness in a cone.

I woke up this morning to a great post on white space from zen habits. I first learned about the name of this concept in studio art classes, but it has been a part of my life since childhood. My father and I each have an annoyingly OCD habit of adjusting the space between objects compulsively until it feels right. And then not being able to have them in any other position.
Reading about white space again this morning consolidated a lot of the thoughts I've been having over recent days about what I want out of my life and out of this journey on a simpler path. I confessed to my husband the other day that I'm extremely happy with the way my life is right now. I love my apartment and my job. I'm getting back to my healthy self after a couple of weeks of healing. But I also want more in just a few small areas of my life. And to get more, I've realized that we have to make do with a lot less.
So, I re-dedicate myself to finding simplicity and white space in all areas of my life. To do that, I need to become a lot more focused and less attached to place. And to things. It's a small shift, but from this morning's realization, I hope will come great change.

THG Energy Solutions
"THG sets itself apart from most others by combining energy management in a tiered approach with actual energy markets. This is one of the more comprehensive energy management solutions."
–Energy Manager Today Awards judge
THG's Energy Intelligence Suite (EIS) is a SaaS-based energy, sustainability, and demand management platform. THG focuses on multi-facility commercial and industrial clients, where streamlined utility information – cost, usage, demand, and real-time data – is most valuable. Data is presented from traditional utility bill formats (paper or electronic), smart-meter/AMI interval data, sub-metered and building automation data, real-time LMP nodal pricing, Green Button, and other open source formats. The EIS supports multi-level stakeholders with secure and flexible administrative data access.
THG Energy Solutions applies technology and expertise to gather, organize, and present multi-sourced energy, utility and facility data into actionable information. Its automated demand response platform provides demand management and economic load response to leverage traditional DR opportunities, plus automated response to real-time electricity prices. The EIS helps commercial clients unlock the full value of energy efficiency and demand response.
THG takes a "use what you have," incremental approach to each customer solution. THG's Energy Intelligence Suite SaaS platform centralizes multi-commodity data management by the most efficient, economical means. THG's data acquisition and reporting strategy begins with three characteristics – lowest cost, highest quality, highly repeatable. With more transparent energy accounting controls in place, customers can realize ways to use their facilities as demand side resources and create new revenue streams from market-sponsored programs.
THG's proprietary market gateway controller provides commercial facilities with secure market integration for electricity price and event-based response capability. The gateway orchestrates external demand response communications (utility signals) to a common platform for existing building management systems, event notification, behavioral response, and direct load control.
The Energy Intelligence Suite is an open platform, capable of integrating data from any commonly available building automation system or utility data format, while THG provides full-service, turnkey data management, the company says.
THG's ADR system can economically serve facilities shedding load as little as 50 kW, lowering the threshold for almost any commercial facility.
"This is a modern BAS/EMS system that address the needs of building owners and aggregates energy and sustainability information in order to make it easier for the building owners to understand what is working and change what isn't," one judge said.

Empire Day is celebrated today and although no longer a national holiday and it has been replaced by Commonwealth Day, it is still a significant day in UK history. Traditionally it was celebrated by school children learning about the day and celebrating. Adults would often set off fireworks. However, these days even though it is no longer officially celebrated more people are turning to sky lanterns as a way to remember the day. Older adults still remember the days when Empire Day was a time honoured tradition. Why not use this as a great excuse to celebrate the empire, honour the Queen and have some fun while doing it by releasing some flying lanterns into the night sky?
What do you need to celebrate Empire Day?
If you are planning on throwing a party in celebration of Empire Day, consider getting the Party Season Package as found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/lantern-packs/party-season-packages/prod_37.html. This will give you everything you need to have a great time with all the people in attendance. It comes in four different sizes: small, medium, large and jumbo. Some of the items you may find in the packages include:
· White Candle Bags – use these items to line a walkway or decorate the outdoors for a party. They are the perfect accent to Chinese Chinese Hanging Lanterns as they provide a glow on the ground while the sky lanterns provide a glow in the sky.
· Glowstick Bunny Ears – Have some fun with these glowing bunny ears. These are especially fun for the children but the adults should not be left out either.
· Glow Glasses – Another whacky, fun accessory to add some interest and fun to your festivities.
· Magik Snow Tubes – Snow in a tub for you to pretend you are in a winter wonderland. It adds some fun and wonder to any special occasion.
· Disposable LED Tea Lights – Perfect for using to light all the sky lanterns quickly and easily once they are assembled and ready to go.
· Ice Fountain Packs – These sparklers are a great addition to any party and a much safer substitute for fireworks. You can even use them inside.
· Glowstick Bracelets – Even more glow in your accessories can be added with these fun bracelets. Children and adults will enjoy adding a glow to your outfit.
· Glow sticks – Use glow sticks as decorations or wear them. The combination of glow sticks, glow stick wearables, candle bags and sky lanterns make for a glowing party!
· Sky lanterns – Of course no party, especially Empire Day, would be complete without sky lanterns. These Chinese lanterns really replaced fireworks and are a tradition in itself.
Use sky lanterns instead of fireworks to celebrate Empire Day
When Empire Day was first celebrated and for years later, the traditional means of celebrating was to use fire crackers. Sky lanterns were also incorporated into the celebrations. Now, the use of sky lanterns is a much better option simply because they are safer and easier to use. So, if you want to celebrate Empire Day, have a great time with a party pack and sky lanterns!

Blue Sunday
This time next week I'll probably still be packing away crafting materials and emptying the kitchen. Yes its almost time, at last, for the new kitchen. A year ago I was expecting to be about to get my new bathroom. The unforeseen meant it did not go to plan and it was another 6 months before my lovely bathroom was installed, hopefully history will not repeat it's self.
So been trying to get ahead with DT projects, you will have to wait for those, but the commission card above can be shared. It is for a colleague whose husband will be 69 soon, his interests include The Mallard (the fastest steam train in the UK) the colour of which is a striking shade of blue. I do not know of an image of that train so used a TH stamp in it's place. Memento ink allows the use of solvent pens and a La Plume one comes close to the required colour. The rails behind the main image are also TH. Rivet and Screw Heads came from another set. The clock mask used with swipes of Chipped Sapphire and with a strong machine/masculine vibe the metal tag plate just seemed right.
Now tomorrow will find out if this is acceptable, not really sure if Anne understands that my style is definitely on the inky/grungy side.
I'd like to share this with some challenges, thinking about it where would we all be now without challenges and groups. The cross pollination of styles, theme, techniques and ideas ensures there is always something to inspire. One of the reasons some friends and I maintain daily challenge lists at Challenges for Days we would love to hear your thoughts about it.
Seize the Birthday - Always anything Birthday
My Heart Pieces - Use a piece of Metal
Left of Center - Use Something Metal
Colour me Creative - Must use Alcohol Markers, Anything Goes
Just us Girls - Monochrome Blue
The Cupboard Trilogy - Monochrome
The Corrosive Challenge - Birthday Steampunk
Fashionable Stamping - CAS (well for me this is!)
Dream Valley - Monochrome
So it might just be DT stuff for a while, but I'm sure the work on the kitchen will help my weight loss plan.

I also finished my new Boer horseman figure. I do believe that I overthought this mold. After pouring several figures, the head wasn't forming right. I believe I overdid the vents. The vents were filling up fine, but the hat just wouldn't form. I cut a small vent from the hat to another vent. I also left one of the larger vents blocked; that seemed to help. I also found the original mold and had as much luck with this mold as the new one. Next mold I'll scale back on the vents.

Located opposite Manchester United's OId Trafford stadium, the four-star 133 bedroom hotel, event and conference facility boasts a number of unique features making it the go-to destination for fans, families, business users and tourists.
To add to the footballing credentials, other members of the Class of '92 – Philip Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt, are also on board.
The hotel offers the ultimate match day fan experience, with bespoke hospitality packages, as well as being home to The Old Trafford Supporters Club, making it the place to be for any football fan.
Talking about the new development, Gary Neville said: "Ryan and I have spent so much of our lives playing at Old Trafford and appreciate everyone who supported us there over the years.
"To make sure that the hotel appeals to everyone, not just football fans, we are working with some of the most talented people in the industry and have created something unique and inviting – with a focus on excellent customer service."
Feeding a love of football, the hotel captures authentic football culture, with hints to the great game running throughout the décor and local talent, with unique artwork on display in each room from University of Salford students.
After a busy day exploring the city, finishing a business meeting or enjoying a long weekend, guests can check in to one of the 133 bedrooms. The interior of the hotel is stylishly designed to create a relaxed, but totally unique atmosphere.
Rooms come complete with a 40" smart TV where guests can enjoy a full Sky package, as well as complementary Wi-Fi, a fully stocked complementary retro mini bar and free parking.
Hotel Football boasts Café Football Old Trafford, which serves dishes that have proved popular at its London counterpart.
The menu, designed by two Michelin star chef, Michael Wignall, in collaboration with Café Football's executive chef, Brendan Fyldes, sees traditional, wholesome produce transformed into something extraordinary.
With signature dishes, like The Boss Burger and the Café Football Sausage Roll, a dish that restaurant critic Jay Rayner described as "shockingly good", the menu aims to capture the essence of the beautiful game and some local delicacies too, including a vimto trifle.
To complement the menu, there will be more than 20 wines from 10 different countries to choose from, together with a range of hand-selected international craft beers, including the specially brewed CF Beer. Visitors to Café Football are able to sip signature cocktails designed by expert mixologists. Inspired by football, they are sure to score points, with delights such as the Red Devil and The Posh.
The Old Trafford Supporters Club is located inside Hotel Football Old Trafford and is the ultimate fan's hangout. Guests and fans can get involved in the excitement and build up to the game, with live music, pie and peas, betting facilities and a fully stocked bar.
Taking the football theme one step further, the hotel features its own impressive rooftop 5-a-side football pitch. The ideal event space for parties or a casual kick-about, known simply as 'Heaven', the pitch on the 11th floor boasts panoramic views of Old Trafford and Manchester. With a fully retractable roof, it can be hired for unique parties, events for up to 200 people or just a kick-about with friends.
There is an extensive range of corporate facilities available for local and national businesses visiting Manchester, with six meeting and event rooms that hold up to 500 people.
Focusing on teamwork and taking inspiration from some of the greatest ever football teams, the conferencing facilities are designed to help users achieve their goals. This includes use of the Players' Lounge, where food designed by two Michelin Star chef, Michael Wignall, will help refuel with half time treats to reward hard work.
Stuart Procter, managing director of GG Hospitality, the hospitality company behind Hotel Football, commented: "Hotel Football Old Trafford is one of the UK's most unique hotel developments. We have built the foundations of a strong and experienced team to drive forward the opening of the hotel and look forward to inviting guests to enjoy the Hotel Football experience."

Last Sunday at the Highline Ballroom, B.o.B. performed "Satellite" off his mixtape, B.o.B. vs. Bobby Ray. Nearly 24 hours ago, I caught up with Mr. Simmons at Atlantic Records. Briefly, I heard a record he's featured on with one of his labelmates. Can't give away too many details, but it's definitely a cool single.

This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com
- Russian Trolls
- Popularity of Bashar al-Assad
- Russian shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17
- The future of the Mideast
Russian Trolls
Russian trolls – Bruce Plante (Tulsa World, 11-Jun-2015)
There have been a number of questions and comments about my recent articles on Russia's involvement in Syria.
TheLastPlainsman: "It appears, Mr. Xenakis, that you are still the target of Soviet, err, I mean, Russian, trolls. At least there aren't any China ones. Today, anyway."
Yes, Russia has hired hundreds of trolls to harass people like me. At one point last year, I was being attacked and harassed by three Russian trolls at the same time.
In a sense, the whole policy has backfired. Every journalist by now has become aware that they'll be attacked by Russian trolls if they write anything critical of Russia. So the result is that any person who actually believes what he's saying in defense of Bashar al-Assad or Vladimir Putin is automatically assumed to be a paid Russian troll. The Russians brought this on themselves.
Mickey Wasp: "It is clear from this completely fraudulent article he has penned that Mr. X is not above composing lies in order to further the nefarious agenda of the Zionist criminal enterprise known as Israel and Warmongers of Congress and the CIA.
Anyone who can write a line such as "After years promising to help end the violence in Syria, Russian and Syrian warplanes have been indiscriminately attacking civilian neighborhoods and hospitals with barrel bombs, chemical weapons (chlorine gas), phosphorous bombs, cluster bombs and bunker bombs. It does not take rocket science to see that Russia and Syria have no intention of ending the violence." is not fit to call themselves a journalist or researcher or columnist, instead they should be labelled as a disgusting black propagandist and seen as working for those who created the conflict in Syria."
All of these things that I listed — attacking civilian neighborhoods and hospitals with barrel bombs, chemical weapons (chlorine gas), phosphorous bombs, cluster bombs and bunker bombs — have been widely reported in mainstream media and by government organizations in America, Europe, the Mideast and the United Nations. The only people saying that it's all made up are Russian and Syrian officials, as well as the army of paid Russian trolls.

Popularity of Bashar al-Assad
Scotster brightmoth: "Amid the demonization of the Syrian government and leadership and the skillful use of social media by anti-government activists. Influenced by both mainstream and this alternative media, most people in the West do not know that Bashar al-Assad remains popular with many Syrians. Nor do they realize that Assad won an election two years ago."
What the heck does that have to do with anything? Bashar al-Assad is being charged with genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. What does it matter whether he won an election? Adolf Hitler won elections. Mao Zedong, Pol Pot and Josef Stalin were all very popular.
There's a very important point here. It's the popularity of genocidal leaders that makes the genocidal acts possible. An unpopular leader could never get away with trying to exterminate an entire religious or ethnic group, as Bashar al-Assad is trying to exterminate the Sunni Muslims. A genocidal leader has to be popular to get away with his depraved acts. So when you talk about al-Assad's popularity, my response is that of course he's popular, and has to be to get away with committing genocide.

Russian shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17
Mickey Wasp: "We are experiencing the same demonization of Syria's al-Assad and Russia's Putin that we witnessed before those other two wars on Saddam and Gaddafi. Every possible allegation is made against them, often based on dubious and deceitful "evidence," but it goes unchallenged because to question the propaganda opens a person to charges of being an "apologist" or "stooge" or if they post on Xenakis articles, a Russia troll."
If it quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck. You claim that you're a Texas redneck, but you quack like a Russian troll.
There was a good example this last week of how Russian trolls work. A Dutch-led team announced the findings of a major investigation proving that Russians in eastern Ukraine in July 2014 shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 passenger plane with a Russian Buk 9M38 missile that was transported by a Volvo truck from Russia, and then transported back to Russia after it had been used to shoot down the plane.
There are literally thousands of pieces of evidence, including intercepted phone calls, photos, analyzed and authenticated, videos, forensic examinations, witness statements, satellite images, and radar data. The amount of evidence is overwhelming.
But the Russian trolls have been out in force saying that all the photos are photoshopped, and all the evidence was faked. And The Washington Post reports that numerous reporters have been targeted by Russian government hackers. I've been targeted many times by both Russian and Chinese hackers. That's the game these Russian trolls play.
So when this Russian troll says that "every possible allegation is made against [al-Assad and Putin], often based on dubious and deceitful 'evidence,'" he's just being a good troll and saying the same things over and over despite overwhelming evidence. He should get an extra pay bonus from his trollmaster for being such a good troll.
Here is another point worth making. I believe the truth of everything that I write. I have written about 4,000 articles on my web site since 2003, and every word is based on extensive research and reporting. I have an archive of some 85,000 articles that I have copied and pasted, and I add a dozen or so articles to the archive every day. I have to be sure of every fact, because if I make a mistake, then I know that people will pound on me for it.
But that is not true of the Russian trolls. They know very well that Russians shot down the MH17 plane. They know very well that Bashar al-Assad is committing genocide. They know very well that Vladimir Putin is guilty of war crimes. But they're paid to lie, and they sell their souls every day to defend the greatest genocidal monsters of the 21st century so far.

The future of the Mideast
Jasmine16: "President Assad wants to kill all Sunni Muslims? Come on. His wife is a Sunni. Many of his ministers and military officers are Sunnis. Many of his armed force officers are Sunnis. The majority of Syrian population prefer to live in government controlled areas. Even CIA and Qatar study reveal that 70% of Syrians-most of whom are (moderate) Sunnis, support him, while 20% are neutral, and only 10 % are against him. How on earth could the writer claims that the president wants " … to massacre … all Sunni Muslim civilians …."?"
There is an extremely bloody historic fault line between Shia/Alawites (like Bashar al-Assad) and Sunnis. It is pretty clear that al-Assad wants to kill a large segment of Syria's civilian population, possibly millions of people, on the other side of that historic fault line, but there's a problem of how to characterize those people — what name should we give that group? Al-Assad just calls them all "terrorists," but obviously children in a school or women and children in a marketplace slaughtered by an al-Assad airstrike are not "terrorists" in any meaningful sense. So in view of the historic hatred between Alawites and Sunnis, I use the characterization "Sunni Muslims" as the most convenient way to describe the portion of the population that al-Assad wants to exterminate. It's possible that there's some kind of ethnic descriptor that could be used to make the characterization more precise, but I'm not aware of one.
TheLastConservative: "'In other words, it's just more bizarre garbage coming out of the mouths of Russian officials.' Which is a lot like #*&$ coming out of the State Department isn't it? There are no good guys in this situation. We are obviously too incompetent and should get out of it. We've messed up enough as it is."
A lot of people feel that way. But a lot more people feel that America has a moral obligation to be policeman of the world, so it's unlikely that we'll get out of the situation.
TheLastPlainsman: "So now that confuses me- what is your prediction then with a US/Russia conflict but then us still being allied in the next world war? Is there any kind of timeline to consider?"
Russia's historic enemies are the Turks, the Mongols, and particularly the Crimean Tatars. Russia has absolutely no reason to start a war with the West, as many people fear.
As I've been writing for many years, from the point of view of Generational Dynamics, Russia will be our ally in the coming Clash of Civilizations world war. Those who think that this is impossible should recall that the Soviet Union was our bitter enemy before and after World War II, but was our ally during World War II. Something like that will happen again. This prediction should make the Russian trolls very happy.

Giving birth in a warm tub of water can make the birthing process gentler and more soothing. Laboring in water has been shown to calm and comfort a laboring mom, reduce pain, and ease tense muscles. Water birth also decreases adrenaline production, allowing for a shorter labor, and the pressure on the abdomen, which means better blood circulation and more oxygen to the mother and baby due to the buoyancy of the water. Mercy Medical Center offers both water birth (labor and delivery in water), as well as and the option to spend a portion of labor in a tub but deliver traditionally.
Affinity Health System Neonatal Services provides state-of-the-art care for the tiniest of patients—premature, special needs and sick newborns. Affinity's Neonatal Services team, located at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton, includes neonatologists, specially-trained nurses, pharmacists and other health care professionals who help babies from throughout Northeast Wisconsin.

On 14th March 2015 Barry wrote to Brent Council to share his concerns and echo those of Brent residents about plans to push ahead with a major expansion of Byron Court Primary School that might result in massive traffic problems in the area.
In an open letter which has been circulated to residents, Barry recognised the huge pressure on Brent Council to provide more school places but asked that the Council urgently consider the impact of the current plans on residents living near the school, especially as the proposed expansion would not be an effective solution to the school places issue.
You can read the full content of Barry's letter to the Council below:
Dear Councillor Butt
RE: Proposal to Expand Byron Court Primary School
I write to ask that the Cabinet meeting of the council on Monday March 16th should reject the officers' recommendation to expand Byron Court Primary School.
I have read the 19 page report which has been prepared for the meeting by your Strategic Director and I fully acknowledge the important objective that the Borough has to provide additional school places for future need. Notwithstanding this I believe the proposal will be detrimental to the local community and may actually undermine the quality of the excellent teaching and learning environment that the current staff and leadership of the school have created at Byron Court.
Your own report accepts that "The vast majority of the points made in the responses were negative" and that "negative points account for 97 per cent of all points raised to the expansion proposal". What is striking is that the overwhelming number of these objections, 917 (38.3%) were made on educational rather than on any other grounds. The next closest, is the group of representations made on environmental grounds for which there are 492 (20.5%) -- just over half as many. This reflects the clear understanding of parents and the local community that this is a school that OFSTED has rated as outstanding and that the expansion from 630 places to 1050 is likely only to work to the educational detriment of the children.
Whilst I understand that this report is asking the Cabinet only to approve the expansion "in principle" and that the work would only proceed subject to planning approval, I find it almost inconceivable that Spencer Road could accommodate any further pressure from vehicles dropping an additional 420 children off in the morning and picking them up in the afternoon. Any traffic impact assessment could only conclude, in my view, that the impact on the surrounding homes would be unsustainable.
I was also concerned to note that the report states that "The designs are currently being developed". This certainly implies that the progress of the scheme is not conditional and that the planning application is regarded as a formality. I do not consider that this is reasonable.
There is a widespread concern in the community that the council is imposing this enormous expansion and that the school would have preferred to see the longstanding issues relating to the dilapidated buildings at Byron Court addressed through the Council's normal capital allocation. Instead it is believed that the school is effectively being forced to expand as the only way of achieving the necessary refurbishment of these buildings. Whether this is true or not, it is a clear perception that the council together with the board of governors needs to address.
The size of a 5FE school will lead to zoning and staggering of meal and play times in order to manage the flow of children around the site. This means that the normal interaction between older and younger children which is so beneficial for their development will be greatly reduced. Typically, younger children benefit from a smaller and more secure environment and can only just meet the challenge of moving to the scale of a thousand plus school population when they move on to secondary school. There is a real fear that younger children will find it very difficult to thrive in such a large environment.
Please understand that I am very sympathetic to the plight of parents who cannot find a school place and it is certainly the case that the council needs to build more primary school places. However, the expansion here and at Wembley High will require many more parents to travel long distances from other parts of the borough to bring their children to school. Our objective should surely be to build capacity as close to the community that each school is serving and not to require additional journeys and transport movements which are damaging to the environment and inconvenient and expensive for families.
I urge you to reject the recommendation and oppose the expansion of the school to 5FE.
Yours sincerely,
Barry Gardiner

Puppy is a simple model that works as dog. It is having an ultrasonic sensor to sense the objects and it will turn according to the sensor as it senses theobjects. From this project we can learn the working of an ultrasonic sensor and the servo motor.
In baseball, batting is the act of facing the opposing pitcher and trying to produce offense for one's team. A batter or hitter is a person whose turn it is to face the pitcher. The three main goals of batters are to become a base runner, drive runners home, or advance runners along the bases for others to drive home, but the techniques and strategies they use to do so vary. Hitting uses a motion that is virtually unique to baseball, one that is rarely used in other sports. Hitting is unique because unlike most sports movements in the vertical plane of movement hitting involves rotating in the horizontal plane.

The Gatineau story began in Paris more than eighty-five years ago with a visionary beauty therapist, Madame Jeanne Gatineau; an expert with a true passion for skincare.
In 1932 she opened her first treatment room and quickly became renowned in the world of skincare for her avant-garde treatments. As demand for her techniques grew in Paris and beyond, she expanded with international Jeanne Gatineau Training Institutes in Paris, Milan, Antwerp and Casablanca, passing on her celebrated methods to thousands of students.
She then went on to collaborate with dermatologists and biochemists and transformed the beauty landscape, pioneering breakthrough product ideas such as exfoliators and alcohol-free toners. Her research and development paved the way for the industry for decades to come.
Born in the salon with a history of revolutionary developments, the Gatineau brand we know today continues to deliver the Jeanne Gatineau promise to provide professional quality products that deliver visible and lasting results to the health and appearance of the skin.

The Internal Revenue Service needs to do more work to refine its latest fraud detection system to catch the new schemes that its older system managed to detect, according to a government report.
The report, from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, found that a pilot program of the IRS's replacement fraud detection system successfully identified tax returns involving identity theft that other IRS fraud detection systems did not identify. However, the other existing fraud detection systems identified tax returns involving identity theft that the replacement system did not select.
For example, the other IRS fraud detection systems identified 54,175 confirmed identity theft tax returns with refunds totaling more than $313 million not identified by the replacement system.
TIGTA noted that identity theft continues to be a serious and evolving issue which has a significant impact on tax administration. In February 2009, the IRS began developing the Return Review Program, or RRP, to replace its current system, the Electronic Fraud Detection System. The IRS conducted a pilot test of the RRP to assess its effectiveness in identifying potential identity theft tax returns during processing year 2014. Thanks to the positive pilot results, the IRS then expanded the use of the RRP's identity theft detection for processing year 2015.
With the RRP, the IRS can change or adjust selection models for identity theft during the processing year. For example, the RRP provides the ability to change models to identify new or variations of identity theft schemes as they emerge. This capability is not possible with the detection system that the RRP will eventually replace.
"With identity theft continually evolving, it is important that the IRS advance its detection and prevention efforts into the next generation," said TIGTA Deputy Inspector General for Audit Mike McKenney in a statement. "The IRS needs to make every effort to ensure that its replacement fraud detection system detects identity theft cases identified by existing systems, as well as improving upon its identity theft detection and prevention efforts."
In response to TIGTA's continued identification of large volumes of potentially fraudulent tax returns with tax refunds deposited into the same bank, the IRS implemented a new process to limit the number of deposits (three) to a single bank account. TIGTA's review of this process identified programming errors that resulted in 5,516 direct deposits totaling almost $13.5 million that were not converted to paper refund checks. The IRS addressed two of the programming errors and plans to correct the remaining error by August 2016.
In addition, TIGTA believes the IRS needs additional procedures for processing checks returned as undeliverable. For example, TIGTA identified 113 tax refunds totaling $354,109 that were returned as undeliverable for which the IRS did not reissue a refund check as required after the taxpayer contacted the IRS and made an address change.
Finally, TIGTA identified 325 returned undeliverable tax refund checks totaling $309,068 in which the IRS did not identify the refund as associated with an identity theft tax return and did not take action to remove the fraudulent refund from the tax account.
TIGTA recommended that the commissioner in charge of the IRS's Wage and Investment Division ensure that the RRP selects identity theft tax returns identified by other fraud detection systems and develop additional processes to resolve taxpayer accounts when checks are returned as undeliverable or remain uncashed.
The IRS agreed with three of the four recommendations in TIGTA's report and partially agreed with the remaining recommendation, stating that processes are in place for addressing and resolving refund cancellations caused by refund checks not being cashed within fourteen months of issuance. However, the volume of taxpayer accounts with cancelled refund checks is not yet known. While the time for the check cancellation has not yet passed and the volume of converted refund payments that are ultimately cancelled is unknown, TIGTA continues to believe that appropriate next steps are to treat the taxpayer accounts as identity theft.
"We disagree with two of the three outcome measures cited in the report," wrote Debra Holland, commissioner of the IRS's Wage and Investment Division, in response to the report. "We believe the amount for the 5,516 requested direct deposits not converted to a paper refund check as required is overstated. Our data analysis in August 2015 confirmed that 1,522 of these refunds were not deposited into the taxpayer account because they were returned to the IRS by banks, which substantially lowers the refund amount. For the 325 tax refund checks returned undeliverable that had not been treated as IDT [identity theft], data analysis completed in August 2015 revealed that 70 of the 325 accounts cited did have an identity IDT indicator placed on the account."

Janet Creaser, Research Fellow, Mechanical Engineering
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers. The primary contributors to this unacceptably high crash rate include speeding, seat belt non-compliance, alcohol involvement, and distractions. In an effort to mitigate this situation, a prototype teen driver support system (TDSS) was designed and developed. This computer-based system provides real-time feedback to teens regarding speed limit violations and also warns of upcoming speed zone changes. A unique feature of the system is that speed limit feedback is relative to the speed limit posted on the roadway on which the teen is driving. By informing teens of speeding behavior, it is hoped that this system will reduce teen crash rates. This project includes a description of the TDSS features and specifications for how the TDSS operates using Smart Phone technology. A small usability study was completed as part of the project where teen drivers (aged 18-19) drove with and without the system. Overall, the pilot study demonstrated that the TDSS could operate effectively within a vehicle driven by a teen. Warnings and messages were presented to the drivers and corresponding text messages were sent when drivers failed to alter their behavior in relation to a warning. The performance data trended in the direction expected, with the TDSS encouraging lower speeds and less speeding overall. The teen participants reported that very little mental effort was required to interact with the TDSS while driving, but they also reported the system increased their perceptions of stress while driving. The second phase of the study proposed that information should be presented in real-time via text messages to parents and also in a weekly report. A potential weekly report format is described. Finally, the project identified the issues associated with using TDSS as an additional tool to support Graduated Driver Licensing programs.

Window blinds come in different types to suit various tastes of people. Additionally, the serve different purposes both at workplace and home. Getting the best for the home windows will allow the occupants to enjoy the numerous benefits they have. However, it is crucial to have a made to measure blind done and fixed by experts for the best results. For instance, real wood blinds would enhance the sitting room but only when done by a professional. So, what are the many benefits one can get with from them? This article tells us more.
Advantages of window blinds
Regulating natural light
The study room is one place you don't want to use either artificial light or the direct reflection of sunlight. Thus, window blinds are the best to use in such a case. Likewise to any other part of the home, regulating the amount of light is very crucial for health and saving on electricity bills. Homes with your kids may sometimes need sunlight rays for health growth, and with them, the kids can enjoy the rays from the comfort of either the sitting room or bedroom.
Total privacy
Other window accessories like curtains are not in a position to provide the level of privacy people can get from window blinds. Whether you are looking for natural light and privacy at the same time or total privacy, count it on this options. The total blackout roller blinds will make a room 100 percent dark if there is no other source of light once rolled down. However, this depends on installation, and thus the need to use a well reputable installer.
The dream of every home owner is to make their home an attractive place both for the family and their guests. With a wide array of colors, material, and styles for window blinds, it is easy to maintain a theme of the house. The real wooden blinds will maintain an all time rustic theme to go well with mid-century designer furniture. The sleek homes will also get along well with the with fancy colors of the vertical blinds or any other type.
Ease of maintenance
Window blinds are very easy to maintain whether on the mechanical aspect or cleanliness. The stringed types come with an easy manual system which regulates them once the string is pulled. The roller options, on the other hand, are easy as well with some having electric levers. It is easy to clean at any time which may involve only wiping with a wet cloth.

CHICAGO — The player representatives for the 26 Major League Baseball teams will decide today whether to authorize a strike vote if negotiations between the players and the team owners remain stalled.
Representatives of the Major League Players Association will meet in Chicago this morning to discuss negotiations, commissioner Peter Ueberroth`s controversial drug policy and the possibility of a strike.
Don Fehr, the MLPA`s acting executive director, will conduct the meeting.
The players went on strike for 50 days in 1981, canceling 714 games, and Fehr said negotiations are no different this year.
``We have been down this path before,`` Fehr said. ``(The players) are resigned to the fact that these negotiations are no different from past negotiations. There is no logic, no reasoning.``
The most important negotiating issues involve financial matters. The owners are claiming economic distress and have asked for a freeze in pensions and a cap in salary compensation at 1985 levels.
Lee MacPhail, serving as chief labor negotiator for the owners, said teams lost between $36 million and $42 million in 1984. The bookkeeping information for 24 of the 26 teams has been turned over to the players association, but ``we are still trying to make sense out of it,`` Fehr said.
An accounting firm hired by the owners prepared a five-year projection that predicted an aggregate loss of $58 million in 1985 up to $155 million in 1988.
Along with Fehr and the 26 player representatives, the executive board is comprised of Don Baylor, Kent Tekulve, Ted Simmons, Rick Honeycutt, Bob Boone, Doug DeCinces, Phil Garner, Jerry Reuss and Bruce Kison. Marvin Miller, who headed the players association for 15 years, also will attend.

Crème Anglaise
We prepared our Crème Anglaise with milk instead of heavy cream to reduce the fat and calories. So expect a slightly thinner consistency but the same delicious flavor. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week, and serve over fresh berries.
How to Make It
Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until bubbles and steam appear (do not boil). Remove from heat.
Whisk together sugar and egg yolks in a medium bowl until blended. Gradually add heated milk to egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 6 minutes or until mixture thinly coats the back of a spoon. Pour mixture into a bowl. Stir in vanilla. Place plastic wrap directly on surface of mixture, and chill at least 4 hours. (Mixture will thicken slightly as it cools.) Stir in bourbon before serving.

If you smoke artificial cigarettes you will be engaging from the new superstar development of Vaping. Seemingly it is interesting to glance silly in 2015. Almost all of these Vaping gadgets provide nicotine, it would needless to say be less expensive to obtain some nicotine insecticide and just lick the lid.
You might die quickly but it really is merely a more rapidly technique to go than gradually poisoning by yourself. In Queensland for good motives liquid nicotine is unlawful therefore the Vaping is done making use of Propylene Glycol or Vegetable Glycerin Liquid.
Currently there isn't going to seem for being any significant challenges just throat and mouth inflammation, vomiting, nausea and cough. But feel back or Google back again:
In the fifties and early sixties cigarettes were being deemed great to suit your needs. Some brands even promoted lung wellbeing.
In the early seventies it had been found out that smoking brought about worry and didn't resolve it. About this time scientists first introduced that cigarette smoking leads to most cancers. It took a further 8 a long time ahead of legislators and the healthcare group agreed into the conclusions.
Decades afterwards well knowledgeable men and women are continue to getting up smoking regardless of all of the recognized facts. The purpose of the historical qualifications is the fact that Vaping is definitely an unknown quantity. We all know it triggers mild challenges, however the issue is provided the background of using tobacco, why on this planet would you need to be merely a likely statistic within the background of Vaping.
In the words and phrases of Wikipedia at present the restricted evidence indicates that e cigarettes are safer than regular cigarettes, they usually carry a risk of habit for those getting up the habit.
So safer than cigarettes is like indicating that falling of the motor cycle at a hundred mph is safer which has a helmet on! Which brings me back again on the title of Vaping, the new insane routine.
Think of every one of the fun entertaining things you might do in lieu of inhaling a combusted chemical into your lungs, which one's body has to then find some way of dealing with, with any luck ,, but then I'm wondering the quantity of people who smoke have imagined the exact same issue up to now.
Most with the Vaping equipment which can be promoted to me over the internet come from China, not perhaps the most trustworthy of chemical resources. Specified the quantities of people who will be having up e cigarette smoking I'm likely just banging my head to the wall wanting to help save a couple of folks from by themselves.
