Conscientious treatment of resources and keeping an eye on the environment are goals pursued by all homes and institutions for the elderly, impaired, children and youth. Often, however, concrete knowledge about possible measures is missing. Based on a new mutual partnership, CURAVIVA Schweiz and myclimate have developed an attractive service package that connects economic advantages with future-oriented, climate-friendly and environmentally friendly measures – and with advantageous conditions thanks to reffnet.ch.
The modular solution from CURAVIVA Schweiz and the foundation myclimate supports the member institutions of CURAVIVA Schweiz in their efforts to discover potential regarding operation and effectively implement energy-efficient, resource-efficient and climate-friendly measures. The following is included in the solution: a kick-off workshop to identify the potential of the institution, access to the innovative software solution "myclimate Smart3" for creating a plausible CO2 balance sheet for the institution, a visit from an expert and an individual measures plan based on it. Dominik Lehmann, leader of the business area Communication at CURAVIVA Schweiz, is convinced: "With the quotation from myclimate, we offer our members an attractive and sensible package that not only helps further individual operations but also our climate and our environment."
The advantages for participating institutions are obvious.
With little expenditure, they receive a report on their relevant sustainability figures. The resulting measures are aimed at increasing efficiency and lowering material costs; competitiveness is increased. In addition, the institutions can position themselves as pioneers of sustainability with help from myclimate. The institutions also receive consulting services at very favourable conditions.
Two steps further
For businesses that want to structure themselves more sustainably, myclimate also offers access to the nationwide programme "Save Hot Water". With economisers for water taps and showers or reduced-cost, efficient shower heads, participants efficiently reduce their own operating expenses and noticeably reduce their climate-damaging CO2 emissions at the same time.
Sustainability pioneers can also obtain the label "Climate-Friendly Business". To do so, after increasing their efficiency, they compensate their remaining carbon footprint with high-quality myclimate projects. Home businesses that decide on this solution contribute to effective climate protection and a sustainable future.

Language: English
The Spotted Deer or Cheetal, Axis axis axis (Erxleben), is one of the most common and perhaps the most handsome members of the deer family (Cervidae) in India. The colour is rusty brown with numerous white spots all over the body. The full grown stag stands about a metre high and has a crown of long antlers in the breeding season
The species is distributed from Sri Lanka and Peninsular India northward to Kumaon (in Uttar Pradesh), Nepal, Sikkim and Bengal. According to Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) there are two sub-species viz., Axis axis ceylonensis (Fischer) which is confined to Sri Lanka, and Axis axis axis (Erxleben) found in the rest of the species range.
In spite of numerous publications, little in-depth information on its ecology and ethology is available. This volume aims to fill that gap.

For Immediate Release
|February 23, 2015
Stewart Cottingham, Supervisory Inspector (912)
Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force - Savannah Division
|Florida Fugitive Wanted on Child Sex Offenses Captured by U.S. Marshals
Saint Marys, Georgia - The U. S. Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force (SERFTF) of Savannah, Georgia and the Camden County Sheriff's Office located and arrested fugitive Gerald L. Warren this morning at an apartment complex in Saint Marys, Georgia. Warren was being sought by the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Orlando, Florida on a bench warrant on the alleged charges of Sexual Battery of a Child (3 counts), Attempted Sexual Battery with a Child, Sexual Activity with a Child, and Incest. After an extensive fugitive investigation in Florida, Orange County authorities and U. S. Marshals determined that Warren had fled to Georgia.
The U. S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force in Savannah, Georgia was contacted with this information by Florida authorities. On February 23, 2015, SERFTF established surveillance on a residence in Saint Marys, Georgia. SERFTF personnel surrounded the house and knocked on the door. A male voice answered after the knock, and SERFTF personnel said it was the police. After a few minutes, the male voice was replaced by a female at the door. The female acknowledged that Warren was somewhere in the residence. SERFTF personnel conducted a protective sweep of the building and found Warren behind a bathroom door.
Warren was taken into custody without further incident and transported to the Camden County Jail to await extradition proceedings to Florida. Warren has an extensive criminal history to include arrests for Robbery, Burglary/Larceny, Weapons, Rape, Narcotics, Escape, and other miscellaneous offenses. In all, he has over 30 arrests on his criminal history.
Since its inception in 2003, investigations carried out by the SERFTF have resulted in the apprehension of more than 20,000 violent fugitives in the state of Georgia. Of these arrests, more than 1,100 were fugitives wanted for homicide. The successful initiative is led by the U.S. Marshals Service and combines federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.
The SERFTF has offices in Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah that cover the entire state of Georgia. The task force objective is to seek out and arrest fugitives charged with violent crimes, gang members, sex offenders, and other felonies. In 2013, U.S. Marshals led task forces arrested more than 90,000 state and local fugitives on felony charges.

Black Joe Lewis Tells Us What We Can Expect From His Upcoming Tour and Album.
For the past five years, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears have transformed from a promising upstart into one of the more dominant forces in the Texas music scene — and rightfully so. Taking inspiration from gritty blues rhythms and whiskey-laced nights, and earning comparisons to the likes of Howlin' Wolf and James Brown along the way, the band's rise has been one of the most thrilling things to watch in the past decade or so of Southern rock.
These days, you could certainly argue that the band's "made it," having participated in such nationally acclaimed music festivals as Austin City Limits, Coachella and SXSW — and scoring gigs all around the world (as well as on The Late Show with David Letterman) along the way. With Joe's soulful-yet-playful guitar skills and guttural voice, and the three-piece brass section rounding out his sound behind him, it's easy to see why.
And, tonight at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios in Denton, Lewis and his band kick off a Midwest tour in anticipation for their third studio album, which will drop sometime this summer. In advance of tonight's scheduled gig, we recently caught up with Lewis to talk about his life, his music and his distaste for SXSW.
First of all, you're a born-and-raised Southern boy, correct?
I was born in Tucson and raised in Round Rock, just north of Austin.
How's your family reacting to your rising stardom?
At first, nobody really thought anything of it. As long as I had a job, they didn't really care. Then I just kept going with it. I got a little notoriety and my mom would come to the show. They were proud of it and my friends now know about it. She's proud now, but at first she didn't really care.
At what age did you first decide to start taking music seriously?
About 19 or 20. That is when I got my first show.
Had you been playing at home before the first show?
Nah, I just figured it out as I went along! Just trial by fire. Just do it if you want to.
What music did you listen to while growing up?
I listened to a lot of rap and, the older I got, I got into more stuff. Jimi Hendrix was the first thing I listened to that was rock ''n' roll but my friends liked Metallica. But, basically anything that happened in the '90s, I listened to.
What music personally inspires you these days?
I listen to a lot of rock 'n" roll and blues. I listen to everything and take my inspiration from different songs.
Your music has been described as southern fried funk. Would you agree with that?
Yeah I guess. It's been called a lot of things — regular blues.
For someone who has never heard your music, how would you you describe it?
I would say rock 'n' roll.
I understand you're currently working on a new album. Can you give us any details about it?
It's probably going to be eight to 10 songs, and I think it's our best stuff we've done to date. I'm looking forward to it coming out this summer. The first few records aren't my work, really. This will be no strings attached. I look forward to it.
What do you mean by that?
It was more politics back then with the band, so many guys wanting to do certain things and do other things. So I'm just looking forward to doing my stuff, y'know?
You were recently featured in the documentary Echotone, which details the recent struggles of many Austin musicians. What was it like to be asked to participate in that?
It was cool, man. They did a really good job on it. They pretty much followed me around at work and listened to me bitch about my job.
Speaking of Austin, you recently re-tweeted a comment that called South by Southwest "the biggest rip off." Could you elaborate on that?
I was just thinking that, a lot of times, it seems like a complete rip off. I just feel like there is a lot of money made and they can pay the bands more. But, in reality, you're playing for the exposure. It seems like there is always a big guy with a giant cigar saying, "Follow me, son." I think they can pay the bands more. It's gotten out of hand. It takes over the city, and it's not fun anymore. There are a lot of sideshows that you can play that are better for your band. On the other hand, it does do a lot for the city and brings in money for the city everywhere. There are a lot of people that just want to buy the wristband and, every year, they up the charge. Getting the wristband doesn't guarantee you to get into the show you want. Music execs get their egos stroked every week, and Austin has to kiss their ass every year. But, at the same time, we did it a lot when we were coming up, so some people enjoy being out there.
Your album Scandalous includes a highly acclaimed cover of Robert Johnson's "Stop Breakin' Down Blues." Do you have any plans to include covers on future records?
I don't think we have any on the next one. We like doing blues songs, so it's possible. There might be one, but I can't think of it right now.
You described having to deal with your bandmates' processes earlier in this interview. Is it really that much of a collaboration?
Yeah! Everything is, if you're in a band. It's always a collaboration!
Got a favorite venue?
The best venue? I don't know, man. There are a lot of good ones. We did the Fillmore in San Francisco, and that was really nice. I think any venue can be fun as long as all the people that work there are nice and the city is cool. That is what make the venue nice.
What has been your most memorable performance?
We played on the beach in Spain one year. It was really good. There were a lot of people. They built a stage right on the beach, and there was a fuck load of people.
Last year, you toured with Floggin' Molly? How did that opportunity come about?
That was a great time. Those guys are badass. I hope to do it again some time. Great tour, great people. They have a really big fan base, so we got exposed to that. It was a great opportunity.
You have previously worked with The Relatives, a gospel group from Dallas. Do you have any future plans to incorporate other genres of music into your records?
Yeah, it could happen in the future. But we don't have anything like that on this record.
I read that most of the songs on Scandalous were written and recorded on the fly, live in the studio. Will we be seeing more of that on the new album?
It's more written songs, since we've had so long to get ready for this one. It will be less on the fly, but there always some of that in the studio.
What does the future of Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears look like?
It's looking good at the moment. Just trying to get this record out. Things are looking up. Hopefully, we get more work.
So this Denton show we're previewing here is the kickoff to your tour. Any thoughts about this specific show?
We've played [Denton] once. A lot of good rock bands come out of there. It's a good place to jump off of. It's a good music town.
Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears perform tonight at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios in Denton.

What is NFT? N.F.T., or Nutrient Film Technique, is an efficient method of growing plants by providing a slowly moving film (stream) of fertilizer solution (nutrient) to roots in a flat-bottomed, gently sloped channel (the gully). The plant is started in a small root cube in which it remains for life, and is placed in pre-drilled holes in the gully. With the help of a small submersible pump and gravity, the nutrient solution is constantly recirculated through the gullies and back to the reservoir. This provides a constant balance and optimum conditions for thriving plant growth. Our NFT Gully Kits use two distinct shapes of gullies, made for different plants. The 2"x4" gully is best used for lighter weight and "head-type" plants such as fancy lettuce, herbs and other short crops. The 3"x6" gullies, which we call Rockwool gullies, are best used for heavier and longer term plants such as tomatoes, peppers, strawberries & cucumbers. These gullies have specially routed square holes that accomodate 3 1/2" Rockwool cubes, which provide plant support and help keep the roots moist. Points to remember when installing an NFT hydroponic system A. Your nutrient tank must have a fresh-water valve, fitted to makeup and keep up the initial volume of liquid in the tank. B. A venturi oxygenation system should be installed. C. The nutrient transport pump must be free from any corrosive or contaminating materials. Make sure you get one which is adequate in size for your operation. Also control taps should be installed in the feeding system to get adequate flow to each gully or feeding trough. D. NFT gullies should be flat-bottomed. Lettuce should have 4+ inches on the bottom; tomatoes, pepppers and cucumbers need 6+ inches. The gullies must be constructed so the gullies remain flat. E. The gully must not sag along its length and should be no more than 50 feet long with a slope of 1:40. Others claim twice that but they may be stretching the limits of NFT. F. A maximumm of 34 fluid ounces per minute should be the nutrient flow rate down an NFT gully. This will provide the necessary liquid film to provide maximum growth and air to the root systems of the plants. G. NFT gullies must be covered to prevent algae from growing on the root systems of the plants. But you still must provide some small openings around the stem entry to allow fresh air into the gullies. H. Make sure the plastic you use for the gullies is not toxic to the plants. To test any plastic (film or pipe) place a piece of it into a cup of boiling water and sniff the air above the mixture. You may have a problem if you can smell plastic or when after cooling you take a small sip and taste plastic.

Glass of water in hand.
My mind is having a hard time compartmentalizing lately. Events in my life have large impacts on my brain. The smaller the even the more I feel I can't figure out how to cope. Example: I had an argument with Husby and went to work kind of sad and red eyed. I was emotionally distracted because I didn't know how to put that feeling into me and lock it up. A coworker of mine asked me about myself, how I was doing, etc. I spilled that we had had a rough morning and I'm feeling like a doormat. My coworker exclaimed that indeed I was a huge doormat with no self esteem. Later she gave me advice/counseling about how I need to work on developing more as to not be a wet blanket. I just stared at her because again, I don't know how to handle that sort of thing especially from someone at work. That night I wrote a text message to her letting her know it was nice she was thinking about me and was nice and friendly to offer advice. I'm struggling in that area so her advice didn't really work out for me in that particular situation.
Then, I busted up my hand at work that same day. Work told me to take a week off because of it being a workplace injury they didn't want a liability around until my hand healed. I'm having a hard time with being asked how my hand is doing. When I say I'm OK to come back, work says no, not yet.
Online I read this coworkers status who gave me the advice that states:
#1 isn't that complaining? #2 is this about me? #3 usually when I have to ask is this about me it's usually not and I understand that. My TRAUMA brain however, seems to think everything is danger especially making people upset. This particular person has not talked to me, not responded to anything I've said to her. Prior to the incident she offered to buy me and my Husby dinner out. She has offered for us to come over for dinner. I want to say she is dealing with something and it's seriously not that I came to work over a week ago sad. Trauma says otherwise. He says, "She hates you, clearly she wrote her status update after your text about the advice. Why should she care about you? There's no one that cares and you put burden on them with your problems so really girl you need to stop sharing with people."
I hate Trauma. He just likes to stress me out. Especially at this crazy stupid early hour of the morning when I'm trying to compartmentalize and SLEEP!
Other news: I made a pot call to my connection and didn't get any. I am reevaluating that idea of smoke pot and your life will become better. My life is pretty far from pot solving all my issues. I couldn't sleep because I started this roller coaster ride of all my issues. Trauma is super helpful at pointing it all out to me. He sometimes even remembers the darkest corners of repression that gets my nausea going. Which brings me to the present moment where I felt so sick I had to get up and wander around the house with a glass of water.
NOTE TO SELF: It's fucking scary as shit when you're on the verge of a complete flashback marathon, to walk ALONE through a dimly lit house, naked, safe for a giant blanket that sneakily knocks things over!
1 almost heart attack later, sleep is still not coming back to me. I have this sense of deep pain in my chest like the sad is stuck in there but there's not a way to let it out. To better explain and picture what happens to me I prefer to give Sad and Trauma human characteristics. They are kind of best friends because Trauma forced sad to tag along with him. Sad is stuck inside of me and usually cries

I admit that this doesn't make for the prettiest picture, but it was a delicious way to eat eggplant, onion, carrot and summer squash! I added some tofu for a filling vegetarian/vegan dinner. I always make my own sauce. I think the pre-made ones are usually too sweet, and this lets me adjust it how I like it. This time I went a little overboard on the rice wine vinegar, oops, but it was fine mixed with everything else and toned down by some brown sugar.

Basil Bread
A couple of friends were over baking when my last CSA box came. I offered them both the basil, but one of them suggested that I keep it and make basil bread. I have had tomato basil bread, but never plain basil bread, so I asked her what the heck she was talking about. She sent me a recipe and it was really good! You process 100g of basil with a bit of oil and garlic, then put that in the dough. I wish so much that I'd snapped a picture because it was a gorgeous bright green before baking, but turned into a more standard bread color afterward. 100g of basil is a ton, it was the whole big bunch from the box, but it made for a very tasty and fragrant bread!
I used the dough cycle on my machine, even though the recipe was for making it by hand, and it worked beautifully! My friend said she has always made it with less basil and just chops it by hand instead of processing it with the oil and garlic, so feel free to try that, too.
Basil Bread (adapted from a cookbook, let me know if you know which it is!)
Makes 1 2-lb loaf
100g basil
2 cloves garlic
4.5 Tbs or 70ml olive oil (I used just 1/4 cup and it was fine)
250g whole wheat flour
250g white flour (or bread flour)
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup plus 1 Tbs or 250 ml lukewarm water
Process the basil, garlic and oil until the basil is thoroughly blended. Place first in the bread machine with the water and salt. Add both flours on top of the liquid, being careful to keep them floating above it. Add yeast. [If you will turn on the machine immediately, you can activate the yeast in 3 Tbs of water, then add that on top of the flour. That's how I did it.] Turn on machine to dough cycle and let it do its thing!
When dough cycle is finished, remove dough to a lightly floured surface. Punch down and knead until there are no more air bubbles. Shape as desired [I did a free-form loaf] and then let rise 30-60 minutes, until doubled.
Bake at 350ºF (180ºC) for 40-50 minutes if free-form, or 50-60 in a loaf pan. When done, remove from pan and let cool before slicing.
Sautéed Sweet Potato Greens
For Box 6 I failed on the sweet potato greens AGAIN. They look fine until one day they are suddenly brown and weird. Or maybe that's if I miss three days….
The point is, I was NOT going to let them go to waste for a THIRD time. I sautéed the greens (just the leaves, not the stems) in some bacon grease with a little salt and we easily finished the whole big bunch that came in our box on Tuesday.
We had the greens with some baked sweet potato fries and baked chicken strips. It wasn't planned that way, but I guess my subconscious wanted them together. My Designated Dishwasher and I both thought it was funny.
Is there anything that you struggle to use up, even though there are tasty things to be done with it?
Potato Latkes
I have been trying to find ways to use the many delicious onions that we've been receiving. Since the potatoes were amazing with the stew we made, we thought of latkes.
Now time to figure out what to do with the rest of the onions…
Mint, three ways
Some ingredients 'three ways' or 'eight ways' always sounds pretentious to me. Like restaurants that serve you tiny bits of things and call it food or the contestants on food network that try to do too many things and fail. I went to one of those restaurants once, it had rabbit seven ways and was supposed to be a major thing there. Nobody at my table was impressed, despite the fact that a lot of people love it. I guess me not going will just make more room for them.
But when some amazing smelling spearmint was in the CSA box, I was excited to use it. And also unsure of how. I know mint doesn't last super long, and wasn't sure what to use it on. I did have a bit on some lamb tagine, but I wasn't sure if I'd be making salad any time soon. I could definitely use it all in tea, but I'm quitting caffeine for a while. So I looked up how to preserve mint and couldn't decide between three options. So here they are:
First, mint extract! (or mint vodka or rum…) Mine will likely go into coffee or hot chocolate as a flavoring. And into brownies, yay! Once I tried to just stick mint leaves into brownies, it was kind of hilarious because they were full of green bits and barely tasted like mint. Not recommended. You can make your own extract by sticking mint into a jar and adding vodka or rum. Just be sure to cover the leaves with the alcohol or they can rot, ew. Shake every few days and strain out the mint when you like the flavor for your intended use.
Of course, an easy thing to do is to simply let the leaves dry and then store them, so these will do that.
And finally, I liked the idea of freezing them. First, lay them out on a cookie sheet and then pop into the freezer. Move to a container once frozen.
Do any of these look good to you? What's your favorite use for mint?
Watermelon Slush
I think this is my favorite way to drink watermelon. If it's been a long day, you can add some vodka or tequila. If you are feeling fancy, add in some sparkling whatever (I bet club soda, ginger ale and champagne would all work.) On it's own, it's like a thick agua fresca.
Just remove the seeds and blend! If I put the watermelon into the fridge before blending, then I don't think it needs ice, but if it starts at room temperature I definitely drop in a couple of cubes.
Roasted Okra!
I am ashamed to admit that our next box comes tomorrow and the okra that I was so thrilled to receive 13 days ago was still in our fridge tonight. D. Dishwasher has been working ridiculously long at work, so I've been cooking for myself and never remembered to pull out the vegetables down in the drawer….
Luckily they had not gone bad! Well, 3 or 4 of the little guys had, but out of a pound that is not much. So I looked up a recipe that would be similar to the grilled okra that I loved on the 4th of July, but wouldn't require a grill.
If you are interested in trying it out, just chop okra, dry it, add oil and seasonings, then cook at 450º for 25 minutes!
Recipe I used is from here and a slightly different take on it is here.
If you're curious, the brown 'sauce' on the rice and chicken is Madras Lentils. It reminds me of chili and is one of my favorites to use in a super-quick dinner.

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee woman accused of killing a pregnant mother and trying to steal her fetus can be seen in a police video telling detectives she beat the victim with a bat before choking her to death.
Prosecutors played almost 40 minutes of video Wednesday for the jury. It shows 34-year-old Annette Morales-Rodriguez providing a detailed description of the attack.
The video shows her sitting in an interrogation room, where she sobs and sniffles and occasionally covers her face with her hands. She tells police she planned to steal the full-term baby and pass it off as her own.
She's charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the death of the mother and fetus.
Her attorney contends the homicides weren't intentional because Morales-Rodriguez didn't intend for anyone to die.

You're relaxing with your friends on a Friday night, and you're about to order another round of beers. But to your surprise, one of your friends has already downed three beers — as well as two shots of whiskey and a Long Island Iced Tea. "He drinks like a fish," you might say. But if you were speaking another language, you might say that he drinks like a cow, a horse, a sponge, or even a rainbow! Indeed, while idiomatic expressions across the world often deal with the same themes, many times they use quite different vocabulary to express them. Here's some popular idioms in English, as well as their foreign-language equivalents.
1. A bull in a china shop
If you're in a China shop, you'd better be careful so as to avoid breaking the delicate ceramics. As such, you should probably leave your pet bull at home. Indeed, someone who is being reckless or careless in their use of force can be described as "a bull in a china shop".
But if you're not speaking English, the animal of choice is more likely to be an elephant:
Italian: un elefante in un negozio di cristalli — "an elephant in a china shop"
Turkish: züccaciye dükkanındaki fil gibi — "an elephant in a glassware store"
French: un éléphant dans un magasin de porcelaine — "an elephant in a porcelain store"
Russian: как слон в посудной лавке — "an elephant in a glassware shop"
Indeed, English seems to be in the minority here. But it's not the only language to talk about bulls in this context — in Greek, "Σὰν ταῦρος ἐν ὑαλοπωλείῳ" translates to "a bull in a glassware store".
2. He drinks like a fish
Somebody who "drinks like a fish" (like our aforementioned friend) has no problem consuming copious quantities of alcohol. Incidentally, this expression isn't totally logical, as freshwater fish don't actually drink, but rather absorb water passively through their gills. Perhaps noting this fallacy, other languages opt to use different animals in their equivalents to this idiom:
Portuguese: Bebe feito uma vaca — "He drinks like a cow"
Hungarian: Iszik, mint a gödény — "He drinks like a pelican"
Serbian: Pije kao smuk — "He drinks like a snake"
Others opt away from animals, and instead use specialists in certain crafts, who are presumably rumored to have a taste for alcohol:
Catalan: Beure com un cadirer — "He drinks like a chairmaker"
Russian: пить как сапожник — "He drinks like a shoemaker"
And others still use inanimate objects like sponges, holes, or rainbows to make the point:
Finnish: Juo kuin sieni — "He drinks like a sponge"
French: Il boit comme un trou — "He drinks like a hole"
Czech: Pije jako duha — "He drinks like a rainbow"
3. The pot is calling the kettle black
Remember your friend who drank all the whiskey and Long Island Iced Tea? Well, if one day he accused you of over-imbibing, you might say to him, "The pot is calling the kettle black", a gentle way to point out hypocrisy. Indeed, this metaphor holds cross-linguistically:
Dutch: De pot verwijt de ketel dat hij zwart ziet — "The pot reproaches the kettle for looking black"
Estonian: Pada sõimab katelt, ühed mustad mõlemad — "The pot reproaches the kettle, but they are both black"
Lithuanian: juokiasi puodas, kad katilas juodas — "The pot laughs that the cauldron is black"
But in other languages, the emphasis shifts from kitchenware to animals:
Arabic: الجمل لايرى عوجة رقبته — "The camel doesn't see the crookedness of its own neck"
Chinese: 龜笑鱉無尾 — "The turtle makes fun of the other turtle's short tail"
Greek: είπε ο γάιδαρος τον πετεινό κεφάλα – "The donkey calls the rooster bull-headed"
4. A bad workman always blames his tools
If you accidentally burnt the casserole you made for dinner, you might try to blame the oven. But your silver-tongued roommate is having none of that, and tells you, "A bad workman always blames his tools". This means that those who lack skill tend to blame the objects at their disposal, and is a direct affront to your cooking ability.
In other languages, however, the metaphor is a bit more on the artsy side:
Korean: 명필은 붓을 탓하지 않는다 — "A good calligrapher doesn't blame the writing brush"
Polish: Złej baletnicy przeszkadza rąbek u spódnicy — "A bad ballerina is disturbed by the hem of her skirt"
Sometimes, animals take the place of tools as the scapegoat:
German: Wenn der Reiter nichts taugt, hat das Pferd Schuld — "If the horseman is not good, the horse is to blamed for it"
Spanish: Cuando el arriero es malo, le echa la culpa a los burros — "When the wagoner is bad, he blames the donkeys"
Also, in many languages, brides' dancing skills are held under particular scrutiny:
Turkish: Oynamayan gelin yerim dar dermiş — "The bride who doesn't dance says the space is narrow"
Farsi: Aroos nemitoone beraghse mige otagh kaje — "A bride who doesn't know how to dance says the room is slanted"
5. It's raining cats and dogs
This one has an interesting and grim origin: supposedly, in seventeenth-century England, heavy rains were often accompanied by wash-up of debris, which included animal carcasses. Thus, "raining cats and dogs" referred to the dead animals that appeared after rainstorms.
Luckily, most languages do without this grisly imagery, instead using the common bucket to describe periods of heavy rainfall:
Spanish: Está lloviendo a cántaros — "It's raining buckets"
Russian: льëт как из ведра — "It's pouring as if out of a bucket"
German: Es regnet wie aus Eimern — "It's raining as if out of a bucket".
Other expressions are more creative and more eyebrow-raising. In Dutch, for instance, het regent oude wijven means — for unknown reasons — that it's "raining old hags". And in Colombian Spanish, Está lloviendo hasta maridos — "It's even raining husbands" — shows that neither hags nor husbands are safe from rainstorms.
6. Too many cooks spoil the broth
If you have too many people doing one job, it might not get completed to your liking. In English, we express this by saying that "too many cooks spoil the broth". German follows suit, saying that "Zu viele Köche verderben den Brei", or "too many cooks spoil the porridge". Finnish, too, sticks with the innocent cooking metaphor, saying "Mitä useampi kokki, sitä huonompi soppa" ("the more cooks, the worse the soup").
But then along comes Russian to turn an ordinary metaphor into something horrific: in Russian, you can express this sentiment by saying "У семи нянек дитя без глаза", which translate to "seven nannies have a child without an eye".
7. Cross my heart and hope to die
But it's not just Russian that has a healthy dose of morbidity in their metaphors. In English, we use an eerily morbid expression just to convince someone that we're telling the truth — "cross my heart and hope to die" (often followed by the even-more-gruesome "stick a needle in my eye"). This does seem to be a trend cross-linguistically, with each language finding a different violent way to express the importance of honesty:
French: Croix de bois, croix de fer, si je mens, je vais en enfer — "Wooden cross, iron cross, if I lie, I go to hell"
Greek: Να πέσει φωτιά να με κάψει — "fire to fall and char me"
Japanese: 指きりげんまん嘘ついたら針千本飲ます — "Fingers crossed, punch you ten thousand times, when you lie, may you swallow a thousand needles"
Cantonese: 講大話甩大牙 — "You'll lose your molars if you tell lies"
Though different languages vary in how they express certain ideas — from alcoholic shoemakers to camels with crooked necks to elephants in glassware stores to eye-less children (thanks again for that one, Russian) — it's remarkable that the same idiomatic concept translates so readily into different languages. This shows us that, despite linguistic and cultural differences, humans often face the same experiences, and are armed with different phrases and metaphors to describe them.

I am a native Dutch speaker and I have never heard "het regent oude wijven" ("it's raining old hags") for "it's raining cats and dogs". What we say is "het regent pijpestelen", it's raining pipe stems, presumably a reference to the shape that the rain appears to assume when it's pouring down.
Paul M
Thanks for the comment! Yes, some of these idioms are quite regional. That one in particular was made by a German-Dutch translator from the Netherlands — would love to know where he is from specifically!
In any event, "het regent pijpestelen" makes more sense to me 🙂
The number 3, "The pot is calling the kettle black", in spanish (In Mexico) would be "El burro hablando de orejas" something like the Donkey speaking of ears.
Nice post
In Romanian, number 3 "The pot is calling the kettle black" translates as "Râde ciob de oală spartă", which means "The fragment of the broken pot is laughing (at the pot)". It's used when someone passes judgement on someone else, while exhibiting the same behavior.
I will be frank. Personally, this idiom collecting is cute but basically useless to a foreign language learner. It is the very last thing I would actively do when learning a language.
Paul M
Definitely agreed that this article is not intended to seriously advance your foreign language skills 🙂 Just hoped it would be a fun read for folks who are generally interested in learning languages.
It is fun, but there's always "a killjoy" 🙂 Don't know the French equivalent for that idiom
Väčesláv Ivanov
«без глаза» doesn't really mean "without an eye" but "without an eye" in the sence of "without control". When seven persons are in charge, they tend to believe someone else is watching at the moment 🙂
What's up with the Greek in number one? Is it καταρεβούσα or something? Modern Greek only has one accent per word…the later examples look more normal.
Marija Dimovska
In Macedonian the idiom "the pot calls the kettle black" is "му рече зајакот на магарето имаш големи уши"- the rabbit told the donkey 'you've got long ears'. In terms of origin is closer to the Greek idiom, relating to domestic animals. What I also found interesting is how the idiom "too many cooks spoil the broth" in slavic languages uses the reference to midwives. In Macedonian this idiom would be "многу бабици, бебето килаво" – too many midwives, faulty baby, which is very similar to the Russian version of the idiom. 🙂
Actually the Spanish translation of #5 is "It's pouring as if out of several buckets"
Mererid Williams
Welsh for No. 5 = Mae'n bwrw hen wragedd a ffyn = It's raining old wives and sticks.
Abba Abdulqadir Adamu
In Hausa, a Nothern Nigerian language, "It rained cats and dogs" is exposed "Anyi ruwa kamar da bakin kwarya" meaning, "it rained like from the mouth of the calabash".

NCMA Gets Ready for a double header as part of the July 4th weeknd
NCMA's competed on June 16th at the Tom Manning Memorial at the Stockton 99 Speedway. It was an all open wheel weekend event with Sprint Cars, Midgets and vintage classes. The Central Valley, CA weather cooperated nicely and it was a good night of racing. Andy Gleason was out in his new #91J sprint car and for the first time with NCMA. It's been a couple decades since Andy has driven and he hadn't lost his touch. He went out for a couple practices and was second quick in Qualifying.
The night unfolded with some real good racing and wheel to wheel action and in the heat race it was a photo finish between #88 Denny Burrell and #17H Rob Hammond. The trophy dash was also quite exiting with Denny getting into Rob's left rear on the last corner and the last lap but Rob was able to hold on for the win. In the feature, all cars stayed close and after all was said and done the finishing order was: 1. #88 Denny Burrell; 2. #17H Rob Hammond; 3. #77B David Burchett; 4. #91J Andy Gleason.
On July 6th the Sprint Cars are headed to Lakeport Speedway for some Friday night racing and then the next night will make he 35 mile trip to Ukiah Speedway for a double header weekend. NCMA really enjoys going to Lakeport and Ukiah where the track personnel and the fans are great to us. We hope you can make the trip to watch some great racing and we look forward to putting on a show for the fans. For more details go to www.ukiahspeedway.com.

Hospitals raise £2million from car parking charges
The Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells (MTW) NHS Trust more than doubled the profits it makes from hospital car parking over last year.
After taking in more than £2million from its two hospitals at Pembury and Maidstone, the trust made a year-on-year profit of 24 per cent on its parking facilities.
The news comes on the heels of the cash-strapped trust being placed in special financial measures in July because of a £23million budget deficit.
It has now been ranked in the top 20 of NHS Trusts for parking revenue across the country, according to an investigation by the Press Association.
A Freedom of Information submission revealed that the two hospitals picked up £2,070,045 in car parking charges, putting it in 14th place out of 89 trusts that responded to the FOI request.
This constitutes an increase of £401,265 over 12 months – compared to rises of £153,949 for the previous year and £200,000 for the two years before that.
When Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury opened in 2011, it cost £1 for the first hour of parking, which has now increased to £2.
However, the Trust refutes suggestions from the report that profits accrued from such charges are not being ploughed back into the health service – or that they are being siphoned off by private companies running the facility.
The day-to-day running of the two car parks is carried out by a private company, Car Parking Management Ltd, but they do not profit from the revenue.
"All revenue from hourly parking charges is retained by MTW NHS," a spokesperson said. "Any net surplus from the income received from car parks is paid into the Trust's general account and then used to support the activity of the Trust, across the full range of services that the Trust provides."
Running costs are deducted from the total, consisting of security, maintenance and lighting, and the provision of green travel initiatives including staff and public bus services.
In 2012-13 the Trust made a profit of around £140,000 at each of the hospital sites but it insists: "This surplus money is being invested in improvement of our car parks at both hospitals, to benefit patients.
"Maidstone Hospital has been granted planning permission to create 180 further car parking spaces which will cost around £750,000 in total."
One of the main grievances relating to the £120million made by the NHS on parking nationwide is that the trusts do not offer reduced parking for the disabled and regular visitors such as cancer patients and those on dialysis.
MTW admits: "Disabled drivers pay the same tariffs as all other car park users and park in the same car parks using designate spaces. The Trust is unable to separate the income received from disabled drivers."
However, the Trust does offer significant concessions for cancer patients for radiotherapy and chemotherapy, those on dialysis and visitors to intensive care, maternity and children's departments. After 10 days, all parking charges can be claimed back for any visitor.
All revenue from Parking Charge Notices is retained by the enforcement company First Parking LLP although this is set to change when signage has been paid, when it will become a 80/20 split on revenue between First Parking and MTW.
Car park revenue has increased
Year Income Increase % rise
2011-12 £1,113,700

The projectiles, launched near the eastern port city of Wonsan, were believed to be surface-to-ship cruise missiles, South Korea's joint chiefs was quoted as saying by CNN Thursday.
North Korea fired off what appeared to be four anti-ship missiles into the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan Wednesday, according to local media, days after US and South Korean ships concluded joint military exercises there.
It also touted the enhanced technology of the test launch of the new cruise missiles.
After the successful test of the Hwasong-12 IRBM, possibly the technological predecessor to, if not a stage of, an eventual liquid-fueled North Korean ICBM, the South Korean defense minister declared that the North's missile program is progressing much faster than initially expected.
According to USA Today, the launch marked the fourth new missile system introduced and successfully tested this year alone.
Cruise missile tests do not contravene United Nations regulations, Korea Defence Network analyst Lee Il-Woo told AFP, adding they were "much slower than ballistic missiles and can be shot down by anti-aircraft guns".
Roh Jae-cheon, spokesman of Seoul's JCS, said North Korea with the latest launch would have meant to show off its widening arrange of missiles and also its "precision strike capabilities" on ships in response to the joint drills.More news: Virginia Democrats vying to be face of Trump resistance
This put China in line with new United Nations sanctions on Pyongyang after its nuclear test and rocket launch previous year.
The UN Security Council last Friday unanimously adopted a US-drafted resolution imposing new targeted sanctions on a handful of North Korean officials and entities, in response to the recent tests.
Seoul said it would delay the installation of remaining components of the THAAD anti-missile system until it completes an assessment of the system's environmental impact.
The North says it needs nuclear weapons to forestall the threat of a U.S. attack. The canisters appeared similar to North Korea's ship-based launchers for the KN-01. The official added that the South Korean government had assured the USA that it would not revert from its previous commitments regarding the missile defense system, and that the United States had given South Korea the same assurances. "It will pose a considerable threat to US and South Korean navies", he told AFP.
Moon has sought to expand cross-border civilian exchanges as a way to improve ties, but North Korea on Monday rejected a Seoul civic group's offer to provide anti-malaria supplies to protest South Korea's support of fresh United Nations sanctions adopted last week.
The North Korean drones recovered in South Korea were probably procured through front companies in China, with parts manufactured in China, the Czech Republic, Japan and the United States, it added. In 2013, state media said leader Kim had watched a drone attack drill on a simulated South Korean target.

Hindraf leader arrested, freed on bail, arrested againDecember 12th, 2007 - 1:22 pm ICT by admin
Kuala Lumpur, Dec 12 (ANI): In a dramatic sequence of events, police in Malaysia twice arrested Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) legal adviser P. Uthayakumar over alleged charges of sedition.
At 9.20 a.m., the policemen picked him up outside a shopping mall in Bangsar and brought him to a Sessions Court at noon to face a charge of publishing a seditious letter on the Police Watch website.
Eight hours after he was given bail for allegedly posting the November 15 letter on the website, he was arrested again in the lobby of the Jalan Duta court complex.
By 7 p.m., his lawyer M. Manoharan said that Uthayakumar had been taken to the Pudu prison in connection with another sedition case.
A group of Hindraf supporters gathered outside the Pudu jail at night and held a candle light vigil. There was a heavy police presence there and part of Jalan Hang Tuah was closed. Soon after midnight, the crowd dispersed without any untoward incident.
In the proceedings earlier in the day, Uthayakumar pleaded that he was not guilty to a charge of publishing the alleged letter, which was addressed to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Judge Sabariah Othman ruled that it was a bailable offence, and considered his similar case in Klang as well as the current situation.
Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail objected to the bail, saying that it was in public interest.
The Star Online quoted him as saying that the accused had repeated the offence.
"He is a lawyer and knew the meaning of the words used in the letter. He purposefully did it on a website which is accessible to everyone," Gani claimed.
Gani said that there was another police report against Uthayakumar for sedition. "We will be charging this man again," he added.
Justice Sabariah ruled that the absence of a signature did not make the charge defective and rejected the preliminary objection by the defence.
Uthayakumar is among three Hindraf leaders who are charged for allegedly making speeches to incite hatred at a gathering in Batang Berjuntai, Selangor, on November 16.
On Monday, the Shah Alam High Court ruled that the Sessions Court judge had made a mistake when, on November 26, she granted the three lawyers a discharge not amounting to an acquittal. (ANI)

text: Hey, I've been using a CycloDS for about a year now without any problems - I've been using a 2GB sandisk card to store my games. I recently got a friend of mine a CycloDS and a 4GB micro SDHC Sandisk card, but she seems to have a lot of problems with games lagging. Pokémon Platinum slows down to a crawl in the item menu, and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story also lags a great deal when a lot of stuff happens on screen. She's tried using both 1.56b3 and 1.56 stable, and I've had no problems with the same games using those firmwares. I'm guessing the mini SD card is to blame, but that seems weird to me considering she basically has the same card as me, but better (?). Anyone know what might be wrong?

Renewable Energy Foundation's Dr John Constable announced as key note speaker at The Energy Lectures
The Energy Lectures 2011, which takes place at Birmingham's National Motorcycle Museum on 4-5 May 2011, will feature as a key note speaker Dr John Constable, Director of Policy and Research at the Renewable Energy Foundation.
Headlining the On-site Generation session, which takes place on 5 May at 1-3pm, Dr Constable's key note speech is entitled: �Renewable Onsite Generation as a Buffer Against Policy Induced Energy Price Rises'.
Dr Constable offers the following summary: "Clean energy policies will result in a heavy cost burden on industrial consumers. While distressed policy correction is probable and should be borne in mind, businesses may be able to employ renewable on-site generation as a claw-back mechanism."
Dr Constable has been working in energy policy since 2004, and he is currently responsible for co-ordinating the Renewable Energy Foundation's large circle of practical and academic engineers, and for the direction of policy.

Very few batteries can take the grueling deep discharge-recharge cycle every day for long periods of time. U.S. Battery has proven time and time again that our solar battery line can stand up to this type of battery torture day in and day out for years to come. When you demand reliable energy storage count on U.S. Battery every time!

Namespacing UITableView and Where to Draw the Line14 Nov 2017
Objective-C was the first programming language I learned and used professionally. One of the first things you need understand, when working with ObjC, is the lack of namespaces. The whole Objective-C runtime acts like one namespace. To prevent name collisions, Objective-C uses name prefixes. You simply create your own pseudo-namespace by prefixing all your class' names. That's the reason why we have names like UIView, NSObject and MKMapView.
Swift has module defined namespaces so name prefixes are not needed anymore. I have to say I miss them. Having your initials as a part of your class' name brings a strangely satisfying feeling of ownership.
Let's do a little thought experiment.
UITableView is one of the keystones of iOS development. Introduced in iOS 2.0, it's one of the oldest API we still actively use. What could
UITableView API names look like if it was introduced in 2017 with Swift only support? Let's play around with namespacing.

Laramie (1959–1963)
- Summaries (2)
It is the 1870s in the Wyoming Territory. Slim Sherman and his fourteen-year-old brother Andy try to hang on to their ranch after their father was shot by a land grabber. They augment their slight cattle ranch income by serving as a stagecoach station near Laramie.
The brothers were helped by their father's long time friend named Jonsey who was their cook and house keeper and helped run the relay station. One day, a stranger and drifter named Jess Harper rides onto the ranch and Andy Sherman takes to him immediately. Jess and Slim quickly form a dislike for one another and almost come to blows. The arrival and departure of a gang of outlaws interrupts their fight. At the urging of young Andy, Jess helps Slim subdue the leader and the gang. Slim asks Jess to stay on and work at the ranch. Which Jess reluctantly accepts. Thus began the saga of the unforgettable friendship of Jess and Slim played by Robert Fuller (Jess) and John Smith (Slim) that was unmatched by any series of the time or since.

Now I know that this site is all about Halloween, but sometimes we do get other events that allow us to dress up in costumes ……. I love throwing and attending fancy dress parties and sometimes they have a theme such as 80s, Superheroes etc. A type of party that was popular when I was in my 20s was the alphabet parties and they are starting to gain more popularity again I hear. If you're after some quick costume ideas for any alphabet party then be sure to check out our A-Z of Costumes page for lots of cool ideas. Also be sure to visit our Fancy Dress board on Pinterest –
Follow Louanne Cox's board Fancy Dress Costumes on Pinterest.
I personally think that Zombie costumes are going to remain popular this year (although that could be my bias as I do love zombies!). Reading a few industry blogs it seems that predictions are a renewed interest in ghost costumes & pirate costumes this Halloween.
Speaking as mother to a teenager who's almost an adult!) we could be surprised with a slew of Harley Quinn (the Suicide Squad version, of course!) costumes.
I don't think superheroes ever go out of date when it comes to an excuse to dress up! Halloween always makes me think of witches and if any of the online groups I belong to are any indications witch costumes are set to explode this Halloween as well!

The 8th Annual Lou Bega Award!
In 1999 -- the worst year in music history -- my friend Jon Katz and myself co-founded the Lou Bega Award, named after the worst recording artist of all time. This prestigious award, given annually each December, goes not necessarily to the artist with the worst song, but to the one which most desecrates the concept of popular music altogether.
Previous Recipients:
1999 - Lou Bega "Mambo #5"
2000 - Baha Men "Who Let The Dogs Out?"
2001 - Afroman "Because I Got High"
2002 - Nelly "Hot In Herre"
2003 - Sean Paul "Like Glue"
2004 - tie - every song involving Lil' Jon
2005 - Gwen Stefani "Hollaback Girl"
This year's inductee is "It's Goin' Down" by Yung Joc.
Yes that's right. After one year of bucking the trend by inducting a white woman, we are back in black!
Meager speller Yung Joc titled his debut album "New Joc City" despite hailing from College Park, Georgia. In his signature song, Joc waxes poetic on how difficult it can be when no matter where you go "it" is goin' "down". Whether Joc heads to the mall, the club, or even the trap (?) it's pretty much guaranteed it's goin' down. In the song's video, Joc gets an entire house party and the all-female staff of a clothing store to join him in his signature dance, the Joc-in. In Joc's second video for the Cribs-inspired "I Know You See It," the hook from "It's Goin' Down" plays during the intro and seamlessly transitions into another song, thus demonstrating the variation of his songs.
What happened, Yung Joc? Couldn't you follow in the successful footsteps of Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Young Gunz, even Neil Young?? Apparently not, which is why you are 2006's lucky recipient of the Lou Bega Award.
Some runners-up:
Hinder "Lips Of An Angel" - How can a band be worse than Nickelback? If they are from Oklahoma City. Hinder is synonymous with buzzphrase "Red State Rock." This band sucks worse than any rock song of the 21st century, but it's hard to win the Lou Bega Award without a hit outside of, uh, "the heartland". Hinder surely would have nabbed this year's award had they simply attempted to expand their market to either coast where I would have heard it in Philly, and Jon would have heard it in LA.
Fergie "London Bridge" - A few years ago, a relatively unpopular hip-hop group hired a former child star to sing for them and all of the sudden they became the world's most popula r hip-hop group. Then she peed her pants on stage and released a solo album and we're left with what seems to be a wannabe Beyonce covering a wannabe "Hollaback Girl". Officially replacing Kelis's "Milkshake" as the strangest euphemism for sexual acts in a modern pop song.
Thanks for another great year of terrible music, guys! Who knows what's waiting for us in 2007! Keep 'em comin'!

We did not check the eclipse projects so it is probably depending on a project (probably the embedded font jars) that we didn't contribute. In theory, everything should build without that dependency.

This 120 year old Victorian school sits at the heart of its community. It is filled with vibrant and inspiring learning experiences that are developed from an arts based curriculum.
Chillingham Road is passionate about learning that motivates children. There is a belief that happy children learn best when they are enthusiastic and having fun.
This approach has enabled the school to consistently achieve academically at a standard that is well above expectations and national averages.
The emphasis on working in partnership with our families and children has produced a shared understanding and a united drive to ensure every child achieves their potential
To help bring our curriculum alive we provide memorable learning experiences with a range of trips and visits as well as bringing visiting artists, authors and professionals to our school. Children visit a range of local attractions as well as art galleries, museums, theatres. They have the opportunities to take part in exciting curriculum innovations such as coastal trips to sketch out in the environment or take part in a bike ride as part of a D&T inspired project. Every year, Year 6 go on a residential trip to take part in outdoor pursuits and develop team building
The school has a proud tradition of music and each class has the opportunity to take part in exciting musical experiences. Currently the school is working in partnership with the Sage Gateshead to link music with our creative learning topics. In Year 4 every child learns the pocket trumpets and the steel pans. The steel pans are very much the sound of our school. For those children who wish to pursue their musical talent further they can join the Y5 and the Y6 steel pan band who play to a very high standard and are often in demand to play at local events. As part of our partnership with the Sage Gateshead we have a thriving samba band for children and families. We are very much a drumming school. Children, should they wish, can have tuition on a range of wind, string and brass instruments provided by Newcastle Music Service and NEMCO.
We believe our curriculum is as rich and diverse as our community and we know how important after school clubs are to our families. Children gain a lot of enjoyment and at the same time build their self confidence and develop their social skills. Currently our extra curricular activities include football, multi sports, samba, props club, netball, singing and PowerPoint club. We regularly consult with our children and families about the sorts of activities they would like try and update our programme. Check our newsletter for further details.
Every opportunity is taken to share our learning with you and give our children opportunities to perform. We hold regular class assemblies, sharings, open afternoons and mornings and exhibitons.
Every year we hold our renowned Family Music Night where families can enjoy the very high quality skills our children develop.
Every summer Year 6 take the lead in our whole school production which we stage in a local theatre in Heaton. All our children have an opportunity to tread the boards with professional technical support with lighting and sound.
Our school is part of a learning trust with other primary schools in Heaton and Heaton Manor. Our Trust is called the Ouseburn Trust and we have both Newcastle and Northumbria Universities, Newcastle Primary Care Trust, The Port of Tyne Authority and Sage Gateshead as our partner organisations and we are planning more collaborative learning opportunities for our children. Please follow the link for further information www.ouseburnlearning trust
Sport plays a big part in our curriculum, and the school is very lucky to have a purpose built sports hall. Currently Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 go swimming every week to Benfield School's pool. As part of our work with the Ouseburn Trust we have jointly employed a PE specialist suing the sports premium funding. This has enabled us to offer our children quality learning opportunities within school but also the opportunity to take part in cometitions across our Trust.We take part in the schools Swimming gala and other sporting and dance competitions.The Trust has also enabled the school to access specialist modern foreign languages support by employing a French specialst to support the teaching in Year 5 & Year 6.
The introduction of the New National Curriculum from September 2014 means that 2014 to 2015 is a tranistion year. Year 2 and Year 6 will take their statutory assessments in 2015 on the National Curriculum 2000. While the rest of the school will be assessed from 2016 onthe new National Curriculum. The new curriculum has different expectations of each year group. This year the school is trialing new ways of working and new topics to deliver the new learning objectives. Teachers and childrne are working hard to ensure that the unique curriculum is not lost but rather it is suplemented by new opportunities and challenges. The school has had training with Chris Quigley Education Limited to develop its curriculum and content posted on this part of the curiculum is subject to change.The new curriculum is underpinned by the schools key drivers Aspiration and Resiliance, Creativity and the Arts, Diversity and Community. Please see the links below to the new National Curriculum to give you an idea of the content and the curriculum overviews we have developed to link the learning. We have developed the use of story books linked to the curriculum themes to help deliver the learning objectives.
Early Years follow the Early Years Statutory Framework for Early Years Foundation Stage, published in March 2014. The framework specifies the requirement or the learning and development in the Early Years in the following key areas:- Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Communication and Language Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts and Design. These produce an overall Good Learning Development (GLD)score for each child. The school is exploring with the Trust the introduction of new baseline assessments and moderating these assessments in Early Years.
As the curriculum has changed so has how we assess what the children achieve. The current Year 2 and Year 6 will be assessed under Curriculum 2000 by using levels and other year groups will also be assessed for this year only using a mixture of curriculum levels and end of year expectations. We will be developing new systems of assessment without levels during this school year and these will be posted on the website.
