Friends of Chamber Music is committed to educational outreach.
Friends of Chamber music engages both local and visiting artists to provide concerts, residencies, and master classes at Denver area elementary, junior high and senior high schools. Performances are presented primarily in Denver Public Schools. We offer these performances free of charge (with the exception of a minimal fee for Spinphony), thanks to funding from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.
We believe in there is a strong correlation between engagement in the arts and success in later life. Click here for some recent research from Michigan State University.
Complete the online Program Inquiry Form or call us at 303-388-9839 to ask about arranging an event at your school.
We have two types of educational outreach programs:
In-School Performances
Each year, Friends of Chamber Music sponsors school assembly performances by professional chamber music ensembles. These concerts combine age-appropriate music theory with accessible classical music. Groups such as The Playground, the Ivy String Quartet, Spinphony, and Colorado Chamber Players have performed for student audiences who might otherwise not have had exposure to classical music. In any given year, Friends of Chamber Music's educational outreach program reaches more than 4,500 students.
We are able to offer up to two 45-minute assembly performances (back-to-back), free of charge or a very minimal fee, for Denver Public Schools. All programs feature fun and interactive classical music programs. For a description of the ensembles and programs available, see below. A list of repertoire for each is available upon request.
Available for middle and high school audiences, Spinphony is a high energy electric string quartet with a DJ. They write their own arrangements, blending well known classical pieces and pop hits to create unique mashups that appeal to all generations. With their distinctive spin on different genres of music and the added element of choreography they bring to their performance, Spinphony engages with students to show the diversity and excitement of string playing. Cost: Thanks to generous funding from the SCFD, this ensemble is available for a minimal fee of $150. Click here for a video excerpt of a Spinphony performance.
Good Vibrations: Communicating Through Music
Featuring CSO violist Catherine Beeson and musicians from the Colorado Symphony, Good Vibrations is all about exploration. This interactive program will help students explore sounds as a communication tool, styles of music at different times in history, and the beautiful heterogeneity that exemplifies contemporary culture and music. Students have an opportunity to join the musicians on stage to closely observe the various methods of communication used by the string quartet.
The following composers and their differing musical styles will be covered in this 55 minute program:
Ivy Street Ensemble
With its program, Can You Hear the Difference?, the Ivy Street Ensemble (violin, viola, and flute) presents a classical music program with music from many periods and styles. The ensemble showcases the different sounds of string instruments and several flutes. Ivy Street reinforces basic science as they demonstrate the correlation between the size of the instrument and the sound of the instrument. They also highlight the idea of theme and variation (useful in teaching writing) with words, music, and audience participation. Click here to hear a performance excerpt from the Ivy Street Ensemble.
Bartels Brass
The Bartels Brass is a dynamic ensemble of orchestral brass players (2 trumpets, trombone, french horn, tuba) all currently performing with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Delivering an unmatched caliber of brass playing, these musicians have extensive performing and teaching experience. The Bartels Brass offers students a detailed educational program featuring individual instrument demonstrations mixed with lively brass music from a wide variety of periods and styles.
The Playground
The Playgrounds' performances help inspire students to create music. In addition to winds and string instruments, their instrumentiation includes percussion, piano, and voice.
Living Music, Living Composer: To better reach the diverse audiences in today's schools, these concerts center on repertoire by diverse composers, including composers from Colorado.
Soundpainting: Students create music in a spontaneous and improvisatory way using this unique hand gesture language. Playground musicians teach students hand gestures and then make music together. By the end of the session, students will be performing, composing, conducting, and laughing! This system works regardless of training, skill level or genre preference and meets Colorado State Standards for composition, performance, and improvisation. Click here for some recent press about a FCM-sponsored Soundpainting residency with El Sistema Colorado.
School-Based Residencies
Friends of Chamber Music offers residency programs designed to offer targeted, interactive instruction based on the specific needs of a classroom teacher. Residencies can be tailored to meet a teacher's needs and may involve as many or as few visits as the school schedule permits. Many teachers find that regular visits by a music teaching artist have a significant impact on student engagement and boost students' critical thinking and collaboration skills. Residencies are supported by Friends of Chamber Music and are offered free of charge for up to three Denver Public Schools annually.
Examples of past residencies include:
- 5 class sessions teaching recorder and basic music theory in an elementary school literacy program to reinforce the connection between music and literacy
- 9 class sessions of instruction by a professional string musician to assist an elementary school orchestra teacher with no stringed instrument experience
- 12 class sessions by the members of a string quartet who taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students to play recorders, guided them in the composition of their own music and then scored and performed the students' compositions
- "Young Composers" music composition residency is offered each spring for students at Kunsmiller Creative Arts Academy, in partnership with The Playground Ensemble. Students learn the basics of composition, compose a piece for specific instruments, and listen as professional musicians from The Playground perform their composition. Click here to view a recent video from this residency.

Victoria Justice Spills To Seventeen About Partying In High School!
Victoria Justice landed next month's cover of Seventeen, and she spills on everything from booze to boys. She told the mag, "I've tried things. I'm not some robot who's programmed to be perfect. I've been to high school parties. And even if I've had a drink, it's always in a responsible way."
Click on to see what Vic has to say about her perfect guy!
On the real Victoria: "I think there's a perception out there that people know me based on these glamorous photos they see of me in magazines, but I have about 2 hours of hair and makeup and then people to dress me, to make me look even better, in those pictures.
On going to making good choices: "If I'm at a party, I'm going to dance, not huddle in some corner and smoke or sneak a drink. I feel that smoking, drinking, and doing drugs are kind of selfish because you end up isolating yourself from everyone else. And I've had to make certain choices and be a lot more responsible with my life. I've been given a huge opportunity, and I don't want to let my fans and family down."
On relationships: "You know when you have a good relationship with someone when you are just perfectly happy to be quiet and just hang out and do nothing. I want to be able to go home after work, put on my sweats, wipe off my makeup and cuddle up with someone who doesn't care and is fine with that."

Lack of UpdatesPublished by Thomas Carlile on Monday, October 23, 2006 at 11:48 PM.
I probably won't update my blog this week. I drank way too much bad wine at the CCR retreat this weekend. Saturday morning I woke up feeling like I should never drink again. I'll be going to the Beer Advocate Belgian Beer Fest on Saturday so expect an update about that.

We had the best trip to Coeur d'Alene! It's such an easy trip from where we live in Portland. We left in the morning, got there by lunch and had just enough time to settle into our rental for the few days and head to the grocery store.
We had debated whether or not to stay lakeside on the outskirts of town or stay in the middle of town, walking distance to everything. We opted to stay right in town and we loved being there! I will say however, now that I've been there, you can't really go wrong with either. Next time we go we will probably try and do a lakefront property.
Coeur d'Alene is the type of place you want to go to if you don't feel like doing much. When I think of the town, I think of: family time, relaxation, biking, bbqing, lake time, drinks and board games at night. It's your typical relaxing lake vacation.
Coeur d'Alene To-Do:
-Rent a house. We used VRBO to rent ours and really, this is the best way to get relaxed and make yourself at home in this town.
-Rent a boat! This is WELL worth it, I promise you! Nothing compares to seeing the beautiful lake by boat. We rented a pontoon boat from KJ Watersports.
-Have lunch at the CDA resort. We all loved our food at Dockside. They have a really great variety of food and drinks. Make sure to order a Huckleberry Crush cocktail : )
-Bike the Hiawatha trail. There are some great guided tours you can do on this trail.
-Grab food at Crafted. This little gastropub is one of the trendier spots in CDA. It's a great, casual spot to eat.
-Golf. Obviously the CDA resorts golf course is world famous for it's floating hole. There are some great courses all over however, if golfing is your thing.
-Hike any of the trails. Tubbs Hill is a nice little hike close to town.
-Don't leave town without a famous, Hudson's hamburger.
Until next time, CDA! Thanks for the great memories.

Managing Offshore Assets: Taking on the Information Challenge
Everything is important, but what nugget of information is more vital than the next? That is why there needs to be a renewed focus on how to manage and share asset information in a real-time environment.
It is easy to understand why companies settle for asset management solutions that can handle one or two issues, but users can have their cake and eat it to.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
Reocclusion of recanalized coronary arteries often limits the efficacy of coronary thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The fibrinolytic system is impaired in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The primary regulatory element of fibrinolytic activity is plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI). We measured the serial changes of PAI activity and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen after recombinant t-PA (rt-PA) therapy. Plasma PAI activity levels were increased on admission and further increased within 24 hours in patients treated with rt-PA.There were two peaks in plasma PAI activity levels (IU/ml) at 4 hours (27.0<plus-minus>2.9) and at 16 hours (25.6<plus-minus>2.5) after the initiation of rt-PA infusion. The early increase of PAI activity may diminish the efficiency of reperfusion of rtActivated protein C (APC) is an important regulatory enzyme in hemostasis.

nactivated factors VIIIa and Va and leads to inhibition of thrombin formation. APC also has been shown to enhance clot lysis by inhibiting the activity of PAI in endothelial cell cultures and in clot lysis assays. In view of the potential of human APC as an anticoagulant and profibrinolytic agent, the effect of APC on thrombolysis with rt-PA was studied in a canine model of coronary artery thrombosis. The dogs were randomly assigned to receive one of the following intravenous adjunctive hterapies : (1) control group ; (2) APC group : APC (0.6mg/kg) at a rate of 0.83mL/min ; (3) heparin group : heparin (200U/kg) at a rate of 0.83mL/min. In a 120-min observation after the termination of rt-PA,reocclusion developed in all the dogs in the control and heparin groups but in only 3 of the 10 dogs in the APC group. Time from recanalization to reocclusion was prolonged in the APC group as compared with the control and heparin groups. Bleeding time was prolonged in only the heparin group after the treatment. It is concluded that APC prevents coronary artery reocclusion after recanalization with rt-PA in a canine model of coronary artery thrombosis. Less

3rd ID Commander talks Women in Combat
3rd ID Commander talks Women in Combat
FORT STEWART, GA. (WJCL) Last year, the Defense Department made a historic announcement concerning women in the military.
It decided to open all combat positions to women.
So female soldiers can get jobs currently limited to men as long they're qualified.
3rd Infantry Division Commander Jim Rainey recently met with local media and gave his thoughts on that.
"I think there will be a period of learning," said MG Rainey. "They'll be some friction like there always is, but at the end of the day, i personally, just my personal opinion, i think we'll be a better army for it."
The 3rd ID is expected to have women in combat jobs by the middle of next year.

Some fun facts about "buying followers industry":
- You can climb on any top Instagram hashtag with less than 2000 likes and 20 comments.
- Everyday there is at least 1 boosted Youtube video on the trending page (Youtube tries to stop it but its still happening).
- Buying Twitter retweets & likes is one the most powerful marketing techniques that is used by many, you can attract a lot of attention and get on "top tweet" with as low as 200 retweets and likes depending on the hashtag used.

Achieving a top position on the trending page of YouTube.
The key ingredient in our marketing strategy for achieving a top position on YouTube is speed and the quality of the views that we are sending. For example, if our client needs to trend in the United States, we will be sending out targeted USA views. One of the most important thing is to keep the video unlisted as soon as it's uploaded. After that we begin to send the views and we make sure that the views maintain high retention. Having 80% retention or above is very important. Once all of the views are successfully delivered. Our client makes the video public and ends up satisfied with a trending position achieved.
Helping premium Vevo channels to maintain on the music charts.
Keeping rising and already established artists on the charts is pretty simple, we send out a steady flow of 250,000 – 1,000,000 views per day, YouTube loves to see a steady flow of traffic on videos, and to maintain the position of ranking we need to keep the views going as well as user engagement such as comments and likes.
Boosting YouTube's video Retention
Retention is a metric of how long your video is watched, Youtube has now made filters that catch botted fake retention and if they catch you doing it, the damage done will be long-term and your video will be "ghosted" from search results.
Having high retention means your video is very interesting and it should be recommended to overs.
We use 100% real traffic that emulates real human high-retention browser watching behavior that even google's background captcha system cannot detect. You probably don't know this but when you browse Youtube and when you do any activity such as commenting, liking or watching the video, Youtube records every little action on-page such as mouse activity and the time it takes you to make an action! we studied all those little details and we use it to better our marketing algorithms.
Manipulating the comment section and helping artists create a movement / trend.
Imagine comments coming from very active profiles with pictures and videos of their own saying anything you want them to say? imagine all of the top comments also orchestrated by the marketers such as Rantic, what remains real? well here at Rantic we fully orchestrate the comment section for our clients, it enhances our client's marketability and social presence online, no one would even question or know it was all bought!
Creating news trends, memes and jokes can start from the comment section alone and the idea can grow virally from the comment sections of Youtube to Instagram pages coming from our experience.
Yes Subscribers can also be cheated, we can do up to 500,000 subscribers on Youtube.
With our growing database of subscribers, we can proudly say achieving over 500,000 subscribers on Youtube is easier than ever if you are ready to pay for it. although not everybody can afford 500,000 subscribers and many would question the value of 500,000 boosted subscribers, here at Rantic we say having 500,000 more subscribers pushes your channel way up to the top 1%. It's a very common practice amongst our Vevo clients since Vevo channels have poor subscriber conversion rate due to how rare Vevo channels post content and how bad Vevo content restriction is.
Creating a false image of haters and how it helps to maintain balance of your brands social presence online.
There is nothing more important than keeping the promotional balance of your brand online.
Here are some stats
- For every 1000 likes you need 35 dislikes,
- With every 50 good comments you need 7 hater comments,
- For every 3 top comments you need 1 top comment that makes up a joke,
- The sense of legit community response is a must.
Social media sites used to be much stricter, why it's safer than ever to buy followers, views & likes.
Social media sites such as Youtube, Instagram & Twitter used to ban without any questions any users that would increment the numbers in a very unnatural way, now that a lot of time has passed, MILLIONS of people buy followers and likes from sites such as Rantic – Social networks use a new technique. Instead of banning they filter out the views, followers and whatever they can catch that was "Botted". They do it very poorly now and can only catch 5% – 10%, once detected they later "shave" the numbers. It is evident that they will not go back to old ways of removing or banning people since more and more people apply "buying followers" marketing techniques to their marketing strategy.
Majority of artists on the rise & Instagram models use Rantic to buy Instagram followers, here's why.
You have a song out, you have a new app that just came out. A lot of eyes are on you. But you are low on followers and you want to attract maximum amount of attention. Boosting numbers online allows you to create the illusion that you are growing 10x faster than you are. This gives you an upper-hand in your marketing plan.
With the right budget you can trend on all 4 Social media platforms at the same time.
Get more likes on Instagram.
Have YouTube in the "most watched" arena,
We have your tweets re-tweeted to the maximum. We make all of this possible.
Our inventory of accounts has grown bigger than ever, you can achieve:
500,000 Twitter re-tweets
1,000,000 Instagram post likes
30,000,000 YouTube views
All of that – done in less than one month.

Thrill-Seeking Bikers Achieved Olympic Status in Record Time
About 20 years ago, a motley bunch of shaggy-haired, thrill-seeking Californians headed to the woods with old, balloon-tired bicycles.
Hurtling down hills, over tree roots and through branches at breakneck speed, they proceeded to fracture arms, sustain concussions -- and create a sport that made it to the Olympics in record time.

The mission of the Professional Development and Research Institute on Blindness is to prepare highly qualified professionals to educate and rehabilitate individuals who are blind or visually impaired, and to conduct research that broadens and deepens our understanding about blindness and the best methods for increasing independence for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
Founded in 1996 with the help of an experimental/innovative grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the Institute on Blindness was established to create the first non-discriminatory program in equipping people interested in teaching cane travel and braille to blind students using Structured Discovery Cane Travel (SDCT)™ methods and principles. Using this methodology, we have proven over the last two decades, that it is the non-visual techniques that keep blind people safe while learning to travel…not the instructor's visual acuity. All PDRIB programs are based fundamentally on the premise that structured discovery methods, positive attitudes about blindness, and high expectations for performance are the keys for helping children and adults who are blind or visually impaired to become independent, productive members of society.G By Guess Guess Hailee Women Brown Knee Knee High Boot Brown Black 5009e24
The Institute on Blindness provides outstanding professional preparation for individuals entering the field of working with blind children or adults, and our graduates have been eagerly sought after by employers from all across the United States in both public and private sectors.
We are committed to providing leadership in creating programs and conducting research that empowers blind individuals not only to live independently, but also to participate fully in society. We take pride in maintaining high academic standards. The Master's degree programs at Louisiana Tech University are non-discriminatory and designed to exceed the standards and competencies of traditional university training programs.
The Institute on Blindness has worked in partnership with the Louisiana Center for the Blind, one of the leading adult orientation and adjustment training centers in the United States, to develop rigorous and high quality graduate degree programsProfessional Development
The Professional Development and Research Institute on Blindness offers three Graduate degree programs, each of which is designed to provide high quality education and support for students.
The Masters of Arts in Counseling and Guidance / Orientation and Mobility program remains the only university-based degree program that prepares individuals to teach cane travel skills to children and adults who are blind or visually impaired using Structured Discovery Cane Travel (SDCT)™ methods and principles. Core to this program, all students undergo a minimum of 400 hours of immersion in blindness, where all students (blind and sighted) wear blindfolds eight hours per day learning nonvisual skills for accomplishing travel skills safely and efficiently.
The Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance / Rehabilitation Teaching for the Blind program was founded in 2014 and is designed to teach a broad range of skills, including cane travel, braille, activities of daily living, and access technology to children and adults. Similarly, students matriculating through the RTB program begin their training through immersion in foundational nonvisual skills based on Structured Discovery methods and principles.
The Master of Arts in Teaching / Teaching Blind Students program prepares teachers of children who are blind or visually impaired the skills necessary to educate children with visual impairments in the regular and specialized classroom settings. Foundational to this program, all students must demonstrate mastery in reading and writing the Unified English Braille code before student teaching. Teachers gain a deep understanding about the impact of attitudes and expectations on education, and are given broad exposure to Access Technology, and the Expanded Core Curriculum.
Regardless of which degree track is right for you, all individuals seeking to become students at Louisiana Tech should be familiar with information related to applying to the University.Research
The Professional Development and Research Institute on Blindness at Louisiana Tech University also provides information to the broader community about blindness, dispelling misconceptions, and promoting training and education about the potential of individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
The Critical Concerns in Blindness book series provides in-depth discourse into specific strategies for training young children and adults in ways that capitalize on their strengths and promotes the capacity, rather than deficiencies of individuals living with vision loss. From mobility concepts for teaching very young children the importance of movement, helping parents to get the best educational experience for their children, to the methods and principals that underlie high quality rehabilitation training for adults and seniors.
Our Research Reports serve as a centralized location highlighting some of the contemporary research being done in the area of training and education for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, and provides links to download these reports directly. The latest employment and rehabilitation statistics on the lived experiences of adults who are blind or visually impaired, Research on reliability and validity of reading media assessments necessary for educating children with a visual impairment, and research on the role of attitudes, expectations, and mentoring on the lives of children and adults who are blind or visually impaired are a few of the reports you will find here.
In an effort to impact the field more broadly, we work to provide continuing education opportunities to professionals nationwide in the areas of Structured Discovery, teaching, and braille literacy. We also work closely with the National Blindness Professional Certification Board to ensure high-quality certification standards for professionals who wish to teach Orientation and Mobility, Rehabilitation Teaching, or Braille literacy.KEEN Men s Rialto Open Toe, Sandal for The Outdoors Black/Neutral Gray , Teva Mens Men s M Katavi 2 Sport Sandal Walnut , MIA Women s Brenda Slide Sandal Natural Floral , Via Spiga Women s Porter Slide Sandal Ruby Suede Chaco Women s Zcloud Sport Sandal Venetian Black RAISINGTOP Sandals Platform Women de Mujer Embroidery Ankle Strap Braided Shoes High Heel Wedges Slippers Green VarctikZ Women s Multicoloured Aqua Socks Footwear Blue-triangle Cherokee Women s Naomi Health Care & Food Service Shoe White , SOREL Women s Joan of Arctic Knit II Boot Shale Roymall Women s Satin Latin Dance Shoes Model 225 , Northside Men s Renegade 400 Waterproof Insulated Hunting Boot Brown Camo , Dan Post Women s Sidewinder Western Boot Red , B.O.C - Womens - Peggy Black Tooled Pu Easy Spirit Women s Gosport2 Mule Blue/Blue Fabric Sam Edelman Women s Penny Equestrian Boot Whiskey Leather , SNJ Womens Sexy and Gorgeous Back Detail Design over The Knee and Thigh-High Heel Fashion Boots Taupe-12 Over The Knee High Block Heel Dress Boots, Women s Thigh High Shoes Taupe , Skechers Men s Skech Flex 2.0 Milwee Fashion Sneaker Black/Gray , Reebok Crossfit Nano 8 Flexweave Shoe Men s Crossfit White-gold-industrial Green , Aisun Women s Elegant Laces Round Toe Elevator Pull On Slim High Heel Wedge Above The Knee High Boots Shoes Red Thorogood Men s Softstreets 6" Ultimate Cross Trainer Black Neon , adidas Women s Pureboost X TR 3.0 Cross Trainer Core Black/Core Black/Carbon , JBU by Jambu Women s Melon Flat Red TOETOS Women s Hope Knee High Riding Boots Hope-black , Diadora N9000 Men Round Toe Synthetic Blue Sneakers Castle Rock , New Balance Women s Wrl247hk Chocolate Onitsuka Tiger Asics Unisex Tiger MHS Black/Black , Nine Seven Suede Leather Women s Round Toe Chunky Heel Comfort Work Handmade Ankle Boots Black Beststore VAO Women s Casual Genuine Leather Shoes Woman Loafers Slip-On Female Flats Moccasins Ladies Driving Shoe Cut-Outs Mother Footwear Beige , Supra Mens Skytop III Shoes Black - White ,

Selecting a Cork Floor Bathroom can not be arbitrary. Your house colour that is white takes a unique style for that interior. This of course's special style must be achieved to produce the house's feeling white. As the property that is white itself has limitations around the area of the bedroom.
One important thing to-do inside the design of the house white by picking simple mattress of white coloring based on the concept itself. With so locations are confined in size is likely to be believed more relieved. Not only that, the correct layout is likely to make the space magnificent, nice and more lovely.
Should you be looking for your companion of course along with a mattress for you personally select the mattress measurement is sufficient for 2 folks. But do not be too big together with it can take room that is much up. Calculate the sole sleep you decide on enough for you along with your partner.
Cork Floor Bathroom is usually done to create an atmosphere of calm. But there is no harm so your space look brighter should you choose colored bed. For instance, only a darkish shade, violet and dark Tosca. Every one of these hues look elegant and gorgeous. The colour may be applied to his cot's use.
But if you're buying Cork Floor Bathroom for your kid or on your own (without a associate) it is greater in case you select a mini bed (simple poor). The room room will not feel crowded in that way. This mini-bed is precisely used for youngsters or children.
As for the home bedding and negative cover themselves can use other colors such as white green, gold as well as a mixture of many colors. You may not need to select a bed of color that is white which can be centered by color that is white.
In addition to colour choice, you should also focus on other things like shape and the size of the sleep could you choose. Selecting a mattress of white on room that is white will have to be modified to the room's size. Choice of these beds so the area white does not look crowded or whole since one, to become really accurate can choose the bed.
Possibly bed's most recent models today many are good-and can be utilized for-anything else. Underneath the bed where the segment will be applied being storage area or a clothes cabinet. The beds have contemporary white color relative to the concept of white shade and was picked since it is good.

Last month, Parliament agreed the Pensions Act 2014, which introduced a series of important changes to the State Pension.
What is the new State Pension?
In a bid to simplify the existing, more complicated system, the government is introducing a single-tier, flat-rate State Pension. The new State Pension will replace the basic and additional pensions currently in place for individuals reaching State Pension age from the 6th April 2016. The single-tier, flat-rate State Pension will only apply to individuals who reach State Pension age after the changes are introduced and will not affect current pensioners.
What is the minimum qualifying period?
When the single-tier State Pension is introduced, the weekly payment will be the equivalent of £144 a week in today's prices. In order to qualify for the full amount, an individual must have 35 years of National Insurance contributions or credits. To be eligible for a State Pension at all, individuals will require a minimum of 10 years of contributions. If someone has accrued between 10 and 34 years of contributions they will receive a proportion of the full State Pension relative to sliding scale.
If an individual has been divorced or their civil partnership has dissolved, they may have been awarded a share of their former partner's State Pension, which is called a pension sharing order. An individual will be paid this at State Pension age, even if an individual does not meet the minimum qualifying period.
How will they work out the starting amount for the new State Pension?
If an individual reaches State Pension age after the 6th April 2016, they will use the qualifying years on their NI contribution record, up to and including the 2015/2016 tax year, to work out how much they will receive under the new rules. At the same time, they will work out what they might have received under the old State Pension scheme.
The highest amount calculated will then be an individual's single-tier foundation amount. The Department of Work and Pensions have released the following example to help illustrate the above.
On 6th April 2016, Jim has 32 qualifying years on his NI contribution record. He has been self-employed for long periods of his working life.
Using the new State Pension scheme rules, Jim would get £135.68 a week (£148.40 x 32/35ths).
Using the existing scheme rules, Jim would get £126.50 a week (basic State Pension of £113.10 and £13.40 additional State Pension).
Jim's starting amount will be the higher of these two amounts, which is £135.68 a week.
If an individual's foundation amount is equal to the full single-tier amount, this is what they will receive at State Pension age. The amount will not increase, even if further qualifying years are added to their NI record.
If an individual's foundation amount is more than the full single-tier they will get the extra amount as a separate protected payment, which will be paid on top of the full single-tier pension.

Al Harris was speaking in the Calvary Baptist Church in Downstate Pana during the first half of the Bears` victory Sunday.
''I tried to catch some of the game later on TV in a restaurant, and the antenna couldn`t pick it up,'' said Harris.
''A friend taped it and I`ll watch it. I`m happy for them and for Chicago.''
Harris, a linebacker, and strong safety Todd Bell sat out the season in contract disputes after playing major roles in the Bears` defense in 1984.
Now that the Bears are in the Super Bowl, outsiders assume they are kicking themselves.
''Even if I said I blew it or I messed up, it wouldn`t do any good anyway,'' said Harris. ''God has seen what happened. He has seen things other people haven`t seen. I could sit here and moan, but there are thousands of people other places who don`t know about the Super Bowl. It`s not the end of the world.''
Harris spent most of the season in Chicago and spent a lot of time speaking for Christian groups. Bell enrolled in classes at Ohio State after spending most of the season with his family in Middletown, Ohio.
Their replacements proved up to the job. Dave Duerson was named to the Pro Bowl at strong safety. Wilber Marshall had as good a year as his Pro Bowl linebacker teammates Mike Singletary and Otis Wilson.
''It`s a natural tendency that you want people to miss you, but at the same time, they`re playing well,'' said Harris. ''Wilber`s had a great year. You can`t deny that.''
Both free agents can resume contract negotiations with the Bears on Feb. 1.
''Lord willing, I`ll be playing next year,'' said Harris.

From Google analytics to CompStat, we live in an era of big data. It's not the size of the data set that matters, though; it's what you do with it. Horticulture teams at public gardens are using data analysis to make better decisions about chemical applications, water use, plant health care, staffing, and garden design. From the perspectives of three different gardens we will explore the benefits and challenges of managing data. We will discuss the technologies that make this work possible, from good old Excel to ArcGIS. We will also touch on the staffing questions—who collects the data, who analyzes it, and is everyone brought in? Finally, how does this type of data intersect with the data traditionally kept by plant records departments.
This session has been approved for 1 LACES credit hour.

25 years and, in fact, outlived all the significant German
artists of his time. Lucas's teacher was his father, the
painter Hans Müller, with whom he worked from 1495 to 1498.
He is known to have been in Coburg in 1501, but the earliest
of his works that have been preserved date from about 1502,
when he was already 30 and living in Vienna. It was in that
city that he dropped the surname of Müller, calling himself
Cranach after his hometown, which is now spelled Kronach.
In Vienna Cranach made an
important contribution to the painting and illustrations of
the Danube school, the art of the Austrian Danubian region
around Vienna and other towns. In Vienna he also came in
contact with the humanists teaching at the university and
did portraits of the scholars Johannes Stephan Reuss (1503)
and Johannes Cuspinian (c. 1502–03).
Presumably while Cranach
was still in Vienna, he received news of his appointment as
court painter to the elector Frederick the Wise of Saxony;
he must already have been a famous artist, for he was given
two and a half times the salary paid to his predecessor. In
spring 1505 he arrived in Wittenberg, a university town on
the Elbe River and seat of the electors, where he remained
for 45 years, until 1550, as court painter. He became a
prominent citizen, serving as a member of the town council
in 1519–20 and as burgomaster three times in the years
1537–44. Through Cranach, who received important commissions
from three successive electors and caused many young artists
to come to Wittenberg, the town became an art centre.
The Protestant Reformation
had begun in 1517 in Wittenberg with Martin Luther's
Ninety-five Theses. Cranach was on friendly terms with
Luther, who had been a teacher at the University of
Wittenberg since 1508. Cranach painted portraits of Luther,
his wife, Katherina von Bora, and his parents. Through these
and other portraits, he helped form today's image of
Luther's circle. Indeed, apart from his other duties as
court artist, Cranach became the chief pictorial
propagandist of the Protestant cause in Germany, multiplying
the images of the Reformers and the Protestant princes in
innumerable painted, engraved, and woodcut portraits. The
scope of this activity is indicated by a single payment in
the electoral accounts (1533) for "sixty pairs of small
paintings of the late Electors." Cranach also did
altarpieces and paintings for Lutheran churches. His works
were sought after by Protestant and Roman Catholic patrons
alike, and hundreds of pictures now in museums and private
collections testify to his exceptional productivity. Aside
from his paintings, there are more than 100 separate
woodcuts by him.
Cranach did not sign his works with his full name. The early
ones, before 1504, were unsigned; from 1504 to 1506 his
signature consisted of an entwined "LC"; from 1506 to 1509,
it consisted of the separated initials "LC"; from 1509 to
1514, it consisted of these spaced initials and his coat of
arms, the winged serpent, which became his sole signature in
1515. All works, even those that had issued from his large
workshop or studio (in which he often employed 10 or more
assistants), henceforth carried this device, which was also
used by his son Lucas the Younger, until the latter's death
in 1586. This gave rise to many problems of attribution that
still remain unsolved. The fact that so few works bear any
date further complicates the establishment of a Cranach
It is certain, however,
that Cranach's style was fully formed and underwent little
development after about 1515, and the highly finished,
mass-produced paintings after that date suffer by comparison
with the more individual works he painted in early
adulthood. The paintings the 30-year-old artist did in
Vienna were of a profoundly devotional kind set in the wild
landscapes of the Alpine foothills, with ruins and windswept
trees. These pictures show Cranach as an avant-garde artist
of considerable emotional force, and one of the initiators
of the Danube school. Notable among them are a Crucifixion
(c. 1500) and St. Jerome in Penitence (1502).
The first decade of
Cranach's stay at Wittenberg was marked by a series of
experiments in which he adapted his style to suit the
demands of the Saxon court. The right wing of the St.
Catherine Altarpiece (1506) already shows a radical break
with his earlier style; there is exquisite detail in the
realistic portrait heads, but courtly decorum has purged the
scene of all emotion and given it a decorative bias, with
strong emphasis on the patterns of dress. Following his
visit to the Netherlands in 1508, Cranach experimented with
Italo-Netherlandish ideas of spatial construction and with
monumental nudes, but his true talent lay elsewhere, as is
shown by the splendid full-length portraits of Duke Henry
the Pious and Duchess Katharina von Mecklenburg (1514),
which mark the establishment of his official portrait style.
Here, space and volume are annihilated; magnificent clothes,
set off by a featureless backdrop, are topped by faces
reduced to their essential, typical features. Cranach was a
pioneer of the frigid state portraiture of the 16th century,
but he fell short of the icy reserve of his successors—Hans
Holbein the Younger and Bronzino—because his abiding Gothic
taste invariably led him to exaggerate a feature or
elaborate a beard or dress for the sake of linear rhythms or
calligraphic effects. With male sitters his method sometimes
yields an image of startling power—e.g., the Portrait of Dr.
J. Scheyring (1529). His female portraits are uniformly
vapid, however.
The resurgence of Gothic
linear rhythms is fundamental for the whole of Cranach's
later work, in which the borderline between sacred and
mundane art is blurred. He represented female saints as
beautiful and elegant ladies in fashionable dress and
covered with jewelry. His Reclining River Nymph at the
Fountain (1518) shows with what assurance he translated a
Renaissance model—Giorgione's Venus—into his personal
language of linear arabesque. This work inaugurated a long
series of paintings of Venus, Lucretia, the Graces, the
judgment of Paris, and other subjects that serve as pretexts
for the sensuous female nude, in which Cranach appears as a
kind of 16th-century François Boucher. The naive elegance of
these ladies, whose slender, sinuous bodies defy basic
principles of anatomy, were clearly to the taste of the
German courts and have an enduring charm. But in conception
and style they look back to the International Gothic style
of a century before. Thus from a historical viewpoint
Cranach's work was a backwater in European art of the 16th
century. And though he was the dominant figure in the
painting of northeastern Germany during his lifetime, his
influence was confined to his immediate circle.
Cranach is called Pictor
celerrimus ("swiftest of painters") on his tombstone, and
his contemporaries never ceased to marvel at the speed with
which he worked. But this very speed also suggested the
limitations of his art, for his strength lay not in
reflection, composition, and construction but in an
impulsive creativity that was nourished by his imagination
and fancy, particularly in unheroic and idyllic scenes. His
art was especially popular in that period of great political
upheavals, perhaps because his contemporaries, who in public
life were the protagonists of embattled ideologies, yearned
for beauty in man and in nature and for a peaceful refuge
from the world's turmoil.
Both of Cranach's sons were
members of his studio. The elder, Hans Cranach, who died in
1537, left a few signed works that are indistinguishable in
style from those of his father. Lucas Cranach the Younger
(1515–86), whose part in the joint production of the studio
became important from about 1545, continued to work in the
family style long after his father's death in 1553.

August 13, 2008
it's gotten colder here in the mornings;
i woke up today burrowed beneath my
down comforter, and it almost
kind of smells like fall
(already in mid-august?)
and there's only – 9
(i just counted)
days until i leave for Boston
and there's a sick feeling in my stomach
i love my school
i do (do i?)
it's just that i ache
(i don't mean that figuratively;
it physically hurts me to think of it)
i ache at the idea of being away from him again.
three months ago, i said
"we've made it through a year, no problem!"
and now i've been thinking,
"we still have three left to go…please God."
my classes are going to be very difficult
and i'll be very busy
(school, job, a cappella)
we won't talk as much as we did last year
which is fine – no really!
i know we'll be all right.
it's just that…
i can't help remembering those nights
alone in my bed, with his voice on the phone
and every inch of me screaming with
want of having him in my arms.
i know i haven't written much at all
but this summer has been beautiful;
i've been so busy
working all the time (weekdays 7 – 5)
and in the evenings, coffee with my friends
(the ones who never change)
and dinner with my family
and lying on my bed with him,
tracing the line of his chest with my fingers
nights when he holds me close
runs his hands down my back
and sings to me, a song he's making up as he goes.
i know it will be all right
i know it – but somehow i wish this were easier
that the hurting could go away
i know it won't, and it can't
not now, not for another three years
i just have to remember –
every day closer.
my life is beautiful,
even with the things i find difficult
and i know that the time apart
will be absolutely worth it
just for the way his eyes light up at me in the airport.

A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is a statutory process under the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 and forms a legal document once completed. It is legally required to legally enforce a new or modified restriction on traffic.
The process that is required to produce a TRO is as follows:
- Local consultation on proposals. This includes residents, businesses and Councillors
- Formal consultation including a Public Notice in the appropriate local newspaper, letter drops and site notices
- All formal objections to be determined by the local area committee who will identify the most suitable progression
- The committee approved TRO to be formally advertised in the appropriate local newspaper advising the start date of the order.
This process will be completed by Cambridgeshire County Council on your behalf should you apply and be successful in obtaining Local Highway Improvement (LHI) funding.

Mr. Speaker, one of the most important areas we can invest in is early childhood development and the Government of the Northwest Territories has made a commitment in its mandate to do this by implementing its Right from the Start Framework. Ages zero to five are the most critical time in a child's development, and the work that the Departments of Health and Social Services and Education, Culture and Employment have been doing in partnership have been helping all of the children in the NWT.
Over the past year, we have made some significant improvements to the programs and services we offer and support in early childhood development.
Mr. Speaker, strengthening licensed early childhood programs through the improvement of resource materials and through increased training for early childhood workers is one of our specific mandate commitments related to Right from the Start.
Mr. Speaker, many of our children have the benefit of attending these early learning programs, and we recognize there are challenges in delivering programs in different communities. To account for these differences, we have reconfigured our model so operators can focus on developing quality programs for the children in their care rather than focusing on administrative paperwork.
To ensure children with special needs have appropriate support, we have streamlined the Healthy Children Initiative into the Early Childhood Intervention Program. These program changes will be phased in over five years and will help our licensed early childhood programs better plan and meet the scope of the children's needs.
Since 2015, the Early Childhood Staff Grant Program has provided a wage top up to early childhood workers in licensed day care facilities to upgrade their skills and education. Over the 2015-2016 fiscal year, Education, Culture and Employment provided grants to approximately 240 full and part-time early childhood workers.
As well, in 2016-2017, we awarded five thousand dollar scholarships to 13 post-secondary students enrolled in full-time early childhood development diploma or degree programs.
We also continue to work with our early childhood operators across the North, through symposiums, video conferencing, and ongoing discussions. They are often the first caregivers outside of the child's family, and we need to ensure they are supported.
Another one of our mandate commitments, Mr. Speaker, was to revise the funding support model for licensed early childhood programs. I am pleased to advise Members that Education, Culture and Employment has fulfilled this commitment.
A daily subsidy for each child attending programs will continue to be provided to operators. The previous Early Childhood Program Operating Subsidy had ten zones. We have reduced this to two zones; Zone A for all southern communities with road access and Zone B for communities in the Sahtu and Beaufort-Delta, and those communities without road access.
In light of full territorial implementation of Junior Kindergarten beginning in the 2017-2018 school year, we have significantly increased the infant rate for operators across the territory. Operators in a Zone A, community like Yellowknife can now expect to get $20 dollars more, while operators in a Zone B, community like Aklavik will get over $26 dollars more.
In response to our mandate commitment to work with stakeholders and communities to explore options for free play-based care for four-year-olds, the government will be rolling out Junior Kindergarten to all NWT communities in the next school year, up from the 20 communities where it is currently available.
During both the review of Junior Kindergarten and subsequent engagements, we talked extensively with invested stakeholders across the NWT, including Aboriginal governments, ECE Service Centre Regional Superintendents, Early Childhood Consultants, Aboriginal Head Start staff, the Northwest Territories Teachers' Association, Superintendents of Education, parents, teachers, and school principals, and have received generally positive feedback on our approach and content.
We accepted all of the recommendations of the review, and have enacted a revised funding model, enhanced the curriculum and teacher guide, increased training for teachers, developed a detailed communications plan, and engaged across the North to garner feedback for territorial implementation.
For five years now, we have been using the Early Development Instrument, which provides a snapshot of children's school readiness at age five. The Early Development Instrument measures a child's developmental health when they enter the school system. The preliminary Early Development Instrument results after the initial rollout of Junior Kindergarten is showing improvement among our five-year-olds. The promise of Junior Kindergarten as a way of ensuring our children are ready when they enter the formal school system at five seems to hold true. The results are preliminary, but very encouraging.
Mr. Speaker, healthy early childhood development is a priority for this Legislative Assembly. I believe it is also a priority for all of the communities and families across the North, and we are working to ensure we have the most responsive programs, services and opportunities available for families and children, right from the start.
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

A couple of months ago, I switched from my wonderful CrackBerry to the amazing Android. I LOVE my Android, but the one thing I liked a little better on my BlackBerry was the organizer/calendar! It was a lot more user friendly. :( So, in an effort to get my insanely busy life organized, I've bought a new planner and am just in love with how cute it is!! :) I also have to show off my new Thirty One pursed (my new obsession) and new wallet from Ross. I've also included my crazy busy shopping/to-do list. BTW, any cute ideas for the kids' Easter baskets???

Consistency in an Era of Change
Super Bowl Rematches Are Rare—and Even Moreso When Coaches and Quarterbacks Stay the Same
INDIANAPOLIS—Giants coach Tom Coughlin, when asked what message he planned on leaving with his players before meeting the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, said he wanted to drive home just how rare his team's opportunity was. "You [should] never, ever tire, or even possibly think this happens on a normal basis," he said. "It doesn't."
And when one analyzes this year's Super Bowl game, it's even rarer.

Eurozone composite purchasing manager's index (PMI) has risen above 50, implying that order books are now finally starting to grow. PMI was last this high in Janaury 2012.
Analysts had forecast a rise from 48.7 to just 49.3. Manufacturing was up from 48.8 to 50.1 (49.2 expected) and services rose from 48.3 to 49.6 (48.5 expected). The Eurozone might finally be returning to growth.

Brought Choco for his monthly grooming today at Pooch's Image – a vintage theme salon at Upper East Coast.
I wasn't paid to blog about this and neither Pooch Image asked me to write an entry about this but I think that this post might be able to help some of the furkid parents out there, who are trying to find ways to cure their dogs skin problems.
This might get a little wordy, or those who doesn't have a dog. You might want to skip this wordy entry and just view the pictures instead. Anyhow, It's only Choco forth visit to Pooch's today, however Eugene and I can see the huge improvement on Choco fur condition after changing to their pet salon…
As compared to last time, Choco fur is extremely fluffy, soft and thick now! Which I still can't get use to it, as it's so fluffy to the extend that all our neighbours thinks that he's very chubby and the most commonly asked question we get is "How do you keep your poodle so chubby?" HAHAHA! You see… his fur is actually that thick to this extend. But when they actually touch Choco, the secret will be out that his fur is just too fluffy and thick.
You probably do not know that we have changed many groomers for him in the past but none of them managed to improve his skin condition. What they told us is always the same thing, use medicated shampoo for him or bath him every week. Which my boyfriend said that it's not making any sense as after a nice grooming he starts to bite himself until the extend where he starts accidentally bite off his own fur as it is too itchy.
We have bought spray, ointment, supplements, countless of medicated shampoo and even brought him to the vet for god knows how many times but obviously none work.
BUT, POOCH IMAGE solved this problem. Now his skin problem is under control and I no longer need to bathe him so often because his scalp is cleanse thoroughly with this spa treatment!
All problems solved, no bald spot, flaky, itchy, red skin.
Furthermore Choco still smell fresh and clean even after more than a week, which mean Eugene and I no longer need to soak him with medicated shampoo and sit in the toilet to wait for the time to be up. *facepalm* Anyway, Pooch's Image have all kinds of spa treatment to counter different type of skin problem. But, Micro Bubble Spa is one of the popular spa treatment in their menu. So if you not sure what spa to choose for your furkid, you might want to give it a try.
I have been singing praise for this treatment for very long and some of you might think that I'm saying this because I'm sponsored but I got to tell you that, I was quite skeptical at first but after Choco did micro spa bubble for the first time, I can actually tell the difference as his fur don't get smelly that fast. So I really hope that you will try this spa for a few times before judging it. I remembered that Choco fur starts to get a little fluffier after the second session! Which is insanely fast!!! This spa treatment have absolutely NO CHEMICAL in it and yet the result can be so phenomenal! I have to say that Choco fur condition have NEVER EVER been extraordinary good since he was a pup till now! In fact his fur condition is getting from bad to worst as he's growing older. Which I got no freaking idea what went wrong!!!
Choco is sooooo fluffy! I'm gonna die~
