Self-Evaluation Summary of 16-19 Provision (pdf)
A Level Results 2017
2017 was another fantastic year for our A Level students with 100% pass rate. Year 13 celebrated an amazing results day surpassing last year in pretty much every respect. 60% of the grades achieved were in the highly coveted A* to B range with 85% being between A* to C. We once again achieved a 100% pass rate for the third successive year. One of the most pleasing points to note was that 97% of the students that started with us in Year 12 progressed right through to the end – some achievement in this time of the well publicised trend for schools to refuse those below target at the end of Year 12 to progress into Year 13.
On that front, over 70% of the students hit or exceed their targets in Year 13. The vast majority of students secured their university places and those who did not get their first choice found good alternatives. They are typically spread far and wide from Newcastle to Southampton, from Bristol to Norwich. A special mention should go to Ed Lee who achieved four A* grades to secure a place at Jesus College Cambridge to study Natural Sciences. Many students have also beaten huge competition for Higher Level Apprenticeships in a broad range of fields including automotive design, accountancy and the civil service.

What is CMFI? We are a shareholder advocacy organization dedicated to promoting the interests, needs, and concerns of individual mutual fund investors. Learn more
On January 21, 2013, the Coalition of Mutual Fund Investors ("CMFI") sent a comment letter to the Financial Stability Oversight Council ("FSOC") on money market fund reforms.
The FSOC recently published a series of proposed recommendations regarding the regulatory framework for money market funds, to reduce the risk of a "run" on assets in a future financial crisis. These proposals include a floating Net Asset Value ("NAV"), a capital buffer, a minimum holdback requirement, standby redemption "gates," and standby redemption fees. Several of the FSOC regulatory proposals are unworkable without full transparency into omnibus accounts. This CMFI comment letter explains the operational challenges involved and proposes a cost-effective solution, for both money market funds and their investors.

So many people plan holidays together with a variety of fun activities under consideration, from sightseeing to sampling exotic 10 of the Well-known Locations for Sex Tourism Around World.
However, playing it safe as well as engaging in family fun isn't everyone's cup of tea: a lot of people are looking for even more of a thrill in their tour. Sex tourism, the location where the main goal of the trip has been always to engage in intercourse, often with prostitutes, is often a booming global industry. Most clients linked to sex tourism are men, while a lot of the sex personnel are women or perhaps young ladies.
Although, female sex tourism is available right here in smaller numbers. Sex tourism is definitely an industry worth huge amounts of dollars that is certainly estimated to own millions of sex workers involved worldwide, as well as the practice, might be legal or illegal, according to regional laws, whether or not the activity is consensual, and whether children or sex trafficking could happen. Below are some of the top destinations on the planet for sex tourism: prostitution is legal in most, read on to find out.
10. The popular Dominican Republic
Many Caribbean nations are watching a rise in sex tourism, especially female sex tourism, plus the Dominican Republic's not any exception. It is estimated that from 60,000 through 100,000 women operate in the sex trade from the Dominican Republic, and lots of cross over from Haiti also. Prostitution is just not illegal from the Dominican Republic, although sex with minors is; many of the sex workers allow me to share minors in my tour. The country's sex tourism trade might be so popular because of its relative accessibility from the two United States and Europe.
9. The well known Cambodia
Although Cambodia bears strict laws as regards the prostitution issue; however, the practice remains extremely relevant, and Cambodia remains a common destination for sex tourism. Cambodia's rocky history throughout the twentieth century, such as the Khmer Rouge, caused laws regarding prostitution to go up and fall in varying numbers of severity. Currently, Cambodia is suffering from problems with child or underage sex tourism. Stricken by debilitating poverty issue, parents sometimes sell their particular children into sex slavery, while other people are tricked into the industry. A child's virginity is normally extremely valuable and are auctioned away and off to the highest bidder. Additionally, violence against sex workers is usual. Regrettably, sex tourism has cast a dark shadow over Cambodia till now, and several are left without alternatives. I got to know all these in my private tour of this place
8. The Netherlands
Amsterdam would be the top area for sex tourism in the great Netherlands, due to its infamous red light district. The red light district is popular with both standard tourists as well as sex tourists alike, and then sex shops, peep shows, strip clubs not to mention countless prostitutes offering their very wares at the back of the red-lit glass windows abound. The very Prostitution business is legal as well as regulated in Amsterdam, and this arguably creates safer conditions for male and female sex workers. Prices in Amsterdam generally vary from 40-100 Euros, based on the time you both discussed on in your tour, at the same time as the client's age and beauty. The Amsterdam's notorious red color light district serves every style of fetish and kink along with the best part is, it's (relatively) safe.
7. Kenya
Like all kinds of other places on this list, the allure behind the flourishing sex tourism industry in Kenya is poverty. Prostitution one of the poor, uneducated and frequently young prostitutes in Kenya, has spurred the spread of HIV/AIDS because few sex personnel are educated on the dangers of STIs. Often, children as early as 12 fall victim of the sex tourism industry in Kenya. Many areas in Kenya use a condom 60% of the time, while they frequently see as much as five clients on a daily basis. Despite these dangers, prostitution just isn't discouraged through the Kenyan Tourism Police, with the country desperately needs the auto boost from tourism.
6. The well know Philippines
Even though going into prostitution is illegal as well as infrequently comes with harsh punishments within the Philippines, the said sex tourism trade is alive and well right here. There are right here about 500,000 sex workers who masquerade as bar girls inside the Philippines, and the majority of clients are business people from East Asia or Western countries. Filipinos are usually extremely tolerant of diverse lifestyles, which can be one answer why prostitution and sex tourism have flourished inside the Philippines. One of the most shocking reasons for sex tourism from the Philippines may be the sheer number of it – a huge 40-60% of tourists vacationing in the country are estimated to possess traveled to the Philippine country for sex tourism and just for that alone.
5. The popular Colombia also is involved
lots of the countries listed here I will discuss are located in Southeast Asia, but Colombia, renowned due to its opulent drug lords, is found in South America which is another hot location for sex tourism. Word at work is that many Colombian sex workers will lower their prices in the event the client speaks and a good negotiator, which might be why the nation is quite well known when it comes to sex tourism. However, thousands of people probably also flock to Colombia in their private tour, hoping that each woman will look like beautifully curvy, Colombian native Sofia Vergara.
4. Indonesia
Indonesia is the one other country with a problem with child sex trafficking. Sex tourism exploits and furthers this concern, while prostitution is lawfully viewed as an 'offense against decency in addition to morality.' Although prostitution is illegitimate, Indonesia remains a trendy site for sex tourism. Sex workers may be found in traditional brothels, Indonesia is set apart in this business simply because of their popularity online sex forums and prostitution rings that you can get through social networking. The availability of sex workers online allows for ratings and facilitates the operation of finding a prostitute. It seems like Indonesia's sex tourism is very efficient.
3. Spain
Cities like Ibiza, Madrid, and Barcelona have for ages been tourist destinations for all those night clubbing, but a new form of tourist activity is beginning to increase in Spain. Prostitution is legal in Spain so that it is one of the top locations in Europe for sex tourism. In the popular Madrid location, the red color light in the region is interwoven together with the regular street light, so it's effortless to find, whereas, in Barcelona, the red light district is really a popular tourist attraction. Surprisingly, you'll often find more South American sex workers within Spain than Spanish sex workers in your tour of Spain, and many of the women are simply slaves towards the sex business or perhap sex suff industry. even though the film, Taken has depicted the France nation to be a key player in the sex trafficking industry, the well known Spain, if not for other things but for football, is one of the most popular European zones for sex business as well as tourism.
2. Brazil
Brazil has always been a well-known tourist destination, automobile exotic wildlife, beautiful people, pristine beache destinations as well as raucous festivals akin to Carnival. However it appears that Brazil may very well be vying for your number one area for sex tourism also. Additionally, Brazil is often a popular destination for female sex tourism, which usually don't make out a tariff all the way to male sex tourism. Brazil's government has become especially watchful for sex tourism in addition to sex trafficking all through the arrangements for the World Cup competition. However, the thriving sex trade doesn't look like slowing down in Brazil.
1. Thailand
It's no real shock that Thailand is at the top of this list, considering the use of Bangkok's red light district as well as portrayals of the parts in movies akin to the popular Hangover Part II. The Laws and then regulation against prostitution work in Thailand are hazy, along with the country features a bit of the reputation for the sexually permissive nature. Many Thai people think that prostitution and tolerating other's lifestyles undoubtedly are a necessary portion of Thai culture, and so the 'oldest profession in world' has really flourished right here, akin to the famous 'ladyboys or whatever it's called. There are approximately 3 million sex workers in Thailand, regrettably, a huge number of the sex workers in this well known Thailand turned into prostitutes via human trafficking. However, the industry can often be well regulated and also the sex staffs are only there by choice anyway.

So You Think You Want To Fly for an Airline?
Chapter Two: The Call of the Air
When I reported for training five weeks later, of course I didn't know just what to expect. The classroom was indistinguishable from any other classroom I'd been in over the years. To get to it, first you parked in the outside lot that borders the ramp fence and walk along the fence, giving you the opportunity to briefly get a personal weather check and to check-out the airplanes parked on the other side of the fence. Most of them were Cessna 402s, the airplane I was to fly for Wings, a small airline plying the Cape Cod and Islands area. Upon entering the hangar, you walked past aircraft in various stages of disassembly and repair, through two large hangar bays, and finally into the classroom, tucked behind the Coke machine and pizza cheese-encrusted microwave oven at the back. There were tables and chairs for nine people, and a coffee urn at the back. No creamer, unfortunately. The room was cold though well-lit.
I took a seat in the middle. In a few minutes eight of the nine seats were filled with other people, glancing at one another in that uncertain way people have in such a situation. The instructor entered.
"Good morning. My name is Norman Glover (*). I'm training director at Wings and I'll be your instructor for this initial month of ground school on the Cessna 402." Norm was a bright, cheerful fellow who talked in an animated and confident manner. He wore a typical airline pilot's white shirt. His black shoes showed considerable wear at the soles. Norm gave us a brief biography of himself, and then it was out turn.
Starting from front, left, was Donald, who had left a job flying right seat in an RJ (the "Regional Jet" popular with many smaller airlines) for a job with Wings and the opportunity to log multi-engine PIC time (the pilot-in-command flight time so valued by both pilots and airlines) for Wings in the 402. He had left his family in Missouri. Next was Roger, who was single, barely old enough to have been eligible for his ATP (Airline Transport Pilot's License), and had left a job he wouldn't talk about. Second row, left was Morgan, who was divorced and who was currently sleeping at a camp ground until he finished training, started getting paid, and could afford an apartment. Morg had been flying checks at night in a Baron (a small twin) out of state. Next to Morg sat Linda, who had flown C-141s (a large transport) in the Air Force as one of their first female pilots. She had been out of flying for years, but had recently reentered it, gotten her ATP, and wanted to fly for Wings. She had left her family in Maine but hoped to import them when possible. Next was me; retired Navy, in electronics until my unfortunate experience with Pointer.Plus, Gregory, et al, and part-time flight instructor. Last row. First was Earl, whose wife had thrown him out when he took this job. He'd been flying a small twin somewhere. Then there was Duke, divorced, who had been flying charter, and last was Philo, single, who'd been wrestling a Caravan (a large, single-engine turboprop) around Alaska. I got a warning twinge, the first of many. I was the only one still married and not separated. Well, a sample of eight isn't statistically significant, I assured myself.
Ground school was familiar. Lots and lots of books and information, hands-on with airplanes in the hangar learning the "flows"(3), lots of quizzes, lots of homework at the local pilots' motel that can be found at any airport in the known world (cheap, modest, close-by). I passed ground school with a 90% and felt pretty good about myself. However, because weather on the Cape and Islands is the worst in the world for flying (frequent at- or below- minimums for the local instrument approaches) we had a two week wait to begin flight training. Most of us went home, Morgan back to his camp ground to lie miserably in the rain.
(*) All names have been changed to protect the innocent -- and the guilty
(3) Flows: Scheduled air carriers work a merciless schedule. Since there is never enough time, the cockpit checks are done from memory using "flows" – the crewman's vision scans – flows -- through a sequence of checks as her hands follow to turn the right controls. In an emergency, steps are also first taken by memory; then the emergency checklist comes out and every step is checked for completion.

I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Dover International Speedway. I received complimentary tickets to facilitate my post and promotional item to thank me for my participation at the conclusion of the program.
I grew up watching races at my little small town dirt tracks, watching the local guys race at South Boston Speedway and spending some weekends at the VIR track. I loved to watch the NASCAR races with my Papa. Then when I was 18 my parents and I took a multi-state road trip which included Indiana. My parents and I took a tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway- home of the Indy 500. I had watched many drivers win their opportunity to kiss the bricks at Indy and there I was on the same track with the same bricks.
Growing up I was a Davy Allison and Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan. These days I am all about some Dale Earnhardt Jr. racing. I have been to the brickyard and I have been to RIR (Richmond International Raceway). Come May 31st I'll be able to scratch another race off my to see list. I'll be attending the FedEx 400 at the Monster Mile in Dover.
The FedEx 400, benefiting Autism Speaks, features NASCAR's top drivers such as Dale Earnhardt Jr.(woo-hoo!), Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon as they attempt to conquer and tame the Monster Mile. Along with the excitement of NASCAR racing at the Monster Mile, there are activities all morning long prior to the drop of the green flag. Concerts by artists such as Cassadee Pope and Thompson Square, the Monster FunZone, FanZone, variety of concession and merchandise locations for food and shopping, NASCAR driver Q&A and autograph sessions and picnic areas for when it's time to take a break. As part of our visit to the Monster Mile my sons and I get to attend a Q&A session with Jimmie Johnson who has won 9 races at Dover!
I can't wait to see the reactions of my boys when they learn that they will be attending the FedEx 400 with me. They like racing even though that photo doesn't show it very well haha. Kids can have just as much fun as the adults at the Dover Monster Mile. Dover International Speedway is pleased to announce the launch of a brand new kids club they call "Monster Mile Youth Nation". This club is exclusively for race fans ages 14 and under. This initiative provides opportunities for young fans to explore the sport of NASCAR. Annual membership costs $20 and benefits include:

- Free welcome gift that in 2015 includes items like a water bottle, merchandise coupon and a diecast car
- Special VIP area access in the Monster FunZone for members to interact and play games
Exclusive access to race weekend activities
Want to join in the family fun at the Monster Mile? You can purchase FedEx 400 tickets and you can also enter to win free tickets to Dover!
From now until May 7th Dover International Speedway is running a special sweepstakes to win some of the most sought after passes that the Monster Mile has to offer.
The winner will receive:
A family four pack of tickets for the May 31st NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race

Donald Trump's blunt response to a question on race at Monday night's debate showed the difference between Trump's hard nosed realism and Hillary Clinton's decades of political parsing.
Republican nominee Donald Trump delivered a strong message about law and order that was squarely aimed every at American concerned about what they are seeing in the news day in and day out. By contrast, Hillary Clinton delivered a mush of platitudes that were likely aimed at the much smaller audience of guilty white liberals.
Hillary Clinton's tepid response was designed to allow her to tiptoe a thin line to focus on the complaints of Black Lives Matter while not exactly coming right out and blaming the police. The result was a mess, with Clinton unable to effectively land any sort of punch against Trump.
More importantly, Trump did not just tie the concept of law and order to protecting any single group, but to protecting all people — especially African-Americans. This built on the unprecedented inroads that Trump has made with black voters in the last few weeks.
Trump also hammered on the fact that Chicago has had 4000 murders since Barack Obama's presidency began and has had 3000 shootings this year alone. He suggested that law enforcement techniques like "stop and frisk" were effective in New York City when implemented by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and would be equally effective across the country in taking guns out of the hands of bad guys.
Clinton's response was to simply deny reality and say that Trump was painting an overly negative and "dire" picture of inner-city America. Hillary Clinton's argument is unlikely to go over well with the residents of inner-city America, or anybody who's paying any attention to what is going on in cities across America from Baltimore to Chicago to Los Angeles.
After this initial volley, both Trump and Clinton settled down into minor scuffles on issues like community relations between police as well as not letting people on the "no-fly list" have guns. Compared to Trump's initial blockbuster response, it was weak tea. Trump's damage had already been done.
While Americans are watching chaos in the streets of Charlotte North Carolina, Donald Trump's no-nonsense approach focus on two blunt words – law and order – brought clarity to the issue that Hillary Clinton's muddle of catchphrases about feelings and mental health could not.
Trump concluded with a message that will likely resonate with many people in America's inner city: The politicians are able to talk one game around election time, but have not delivered results.
That's reality and reality is something Clinton could not deliver.

Coffee Beans and Jenga Pieces Ch.1
By: firefly
Note: Ha ha, guess what? After doing "Obscured Apathy", I developed an affinity for Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro fics! This time, I was wondering how Gaara manages to stay awakeall nightand every day. This funny lil' idea popped into my head as a result. I think it'll be two chapters, though. Anyway, I don't own Naruto! Enjoy, and please leave a review. Have a nice day!
It was a day like any other for the Sand siblings, who went by the names of Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara.
Temari, the oldest and a girl, was the somewhat cruel yet caring caretaker of the little family. Kankuro, the second oldest and a boy, was a regular, moping teenager with too much face paint.
And Gaara, the baby of the family…a mentally deranged boy, who loved to kill people and was secretly partial to chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
It was no surprise that Temari and Kankuro feared their little brother; so sadly, the family was NOT a closely-knit one, as we would have liked.
Brotherly and sisterly love was a no-no, so each day passed as 24 hours of painful, loveless time.
But not this day…
This day, they would learn the meaning of family.
Funny how it'll take moments of paralyzing terror, missing coffee beans, and Hasbro© games to make them realize how much they love each other, ne?
Coffee Beans and Jenga Pieces
Kankuro swore as he dove under the table, barely managing to dodge the dinner plate that smashed against the wall. Gasping, he rolled out of the way when a fork flew at him, soon followed by a spatula.
"Temari!" He yelled, holding a tin tray over his head as his sister continued to pelt things at him. "Would you stop! I didn't mean it!"
"You bastard!" She shrieked at him, as he feebly crawled out from under the table. "You dare to tell me my food tastes like crap! I don't ever see you cooking!"
"I said I didn't mean it," he whined, wincing as she glared at him.
"You know what Kankuro? There's no need to apologize!" Temari said shakily. She pulled off her apron and threw it in his face.
"You can cook from now on, and I'll see how you like it!"
"Come on, Temari!" Kankuro called as she stormed out of the kitchen. Groaning in exasperation, he left the kitchen and hesitantly poked his head into the living room.
"Temari," he said weakly, when she turned her back to him. "Don't get mad. You know how Gaara gets annoyed when you start screaming…"
This apparently wasn't the right thing to say, because Temari stiffened and slowly turned, her right eye twitching horribly.
"Oh…" She said in a voice of forced calm. "I'll annoy Gaara…? Well, I'm sorrrrry, Kankuro. It seems like this is all my fault."
"You know that's not what I meant," Kankuro mumbled, as he lowered his gaze to the floor. "Just stop, okay? I'm sorry."
There was a moment of silence, in which Kankuro stood there awkwardly as Temari gaped at him.
"D-Did you just…apologize?" She asked incredulously after a few seconds.
She blinked in surprise as he shrugged and shuffled past her, desperately trying to avoid a moment of understanding and compromise.
"Kankuro?" she said in slight concern as she turned to see him leaving.
"Whatever," he mumbled quietly as he ascended the stairs, shoulders slumping as he tucked his hands into his pockets. He disappeared over the top step and shuffled towards his room, closing the door behind him.
Temari sighed and cast a regretful glance at the stairs before she trudged back to the kitchen, sighing again when she saw the mess she had made in her fury.
"Forget it," Temari said aloud after a few seconds. "I'm going to bed."
Turning, she gasped in surprise and stumbled back, tripping over the fallen spatula and landing rear first in a bulging bag of food scraps. Gaara was staring at her, looking visibly annoyed as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Temari grimaced, feeling the rotten food slime up her behind and thighs.
"Ugh…" she groaned in disgust when she stood, and she felt some remnants drip off and land against the floor with gross splooching sounds.
Guiltily, she raised her gaze to Gaara and flinched when she saw him frown.
"You were being loud," he said bluntly, and she just nodded in response, paying no attention to her soiled clothes.
"I don't like it when you're loud. It's annoying."
"S-Sorry," she said, wincing as his eyes narrowed. "It won't happen again, Gaara…"
"…why were you screaming?"
Temari blinked in slight surprise, raising her head. Normally, Gaara would just threaten her and go on his merry way. Never had he questioned his sibling's behaviour.
"Uh…Kankuro and I had a fight," she said hesitantly as his eyes wandered the havoc in the kitchen. He turned his gaze back to her, and suddenly glared. Temari gasped when he took as step forward.
"Don't do it again," he said, a hint of warning in his voice.
Temari bobbed her head earnestly, trying not to sigh in relief. Suddenly, Gaara stepped over the discarded tin tray and walked towards the cutlery drawer as Temari watched anxiously.
He's not going for a weapon, is he? She questioned herself in a panic as he started rummaging through the utensils.
She blinked when he pulled out a spoon and walked over to the fridge. Without a backwards glance, he opened the freezer door and dug out a box of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, which he tucked under his arm.
Turning, he glanced at Temari, looking her up and down, wrinkling his nose slightly as more slop dripped off her.
"You smell," he said tonelessly.
Then he left.
Fortunately, Temari had changed her mind and decided to clean the kitchen before she trudged upstairs and took a shower, taking more than half an hour to wash the stink of old food off of her.
She was feeling frustrated, because a part of her was continuously reminding her that she had been too hard on Kankuro, whereas she still felt angry for his degradation of her cooking.
Well…she thought somewhat sadly as she headed to her room, glancing at her brothers' closed doors.
At least I smell good now.
Sighing, she closed her door behind her and retreated to her bed. Drawing the blanket tightly around her, she pulled out a frame from her bedside drawer. Staring wistfully at the picture of the three of them, she tucked it under her pillow and fell asleep.
In the other room, Kankuro was also sleeping, drooling a little as his subconscious mind wandered to what he had hidden under his pillow. Chortling a little in his sleep, the puppet master flopped onto his stomach.
If Temari ever found out about this hidden thing under his pillow…well, sometimes he shuddered to think.
If Gaara ever found out about this hidden thing under his pillow…well, that would be really weird.
And finally, in the last room, Gaara sat on his bed, leaning against the headboard as he contentedly ate his chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. It was the only sweet thing he cared for, and a whole carton would be especially reserved for him.
It had to be available at all times.
Or else…he thought grimly as he licked the last morsel off the spoon. There'd be hell to pay…
Throwing the empty carton to the floor, he got to his feet and wandered over to his desk, looking at the 1000 piece puzzle that was yet to be completed. This one was of St. Basil's cathedral in Moscow, and it was half done.
Those who wondered what Gaara did all night while others slept…this was it.
He completed enormous jigsaw puzzles, which Temari would frame and hang all over the house. It made the house look pretty, and it kept Gaara occupied during those long lonely hours.
What? Did you think he stared at the wall all night?
Sitting at the desk, he leaned over the puzzle pieces and started fitting them together. Strangely enough, he was making amazing progress and was so intent on finishing the puzzle that he didn't notice the clock strike 1:00 AM.
The realization came when his head started to feel unbearably heavy, and his forehead almost collided with the desk. Dropping a puzzle piece in surprise, he forced his eyes open and glanced at the clock.
He was more than an hour late in taking his nightly doses.
We're talking about doses of CAFFEINE here. No, this isn't the normal coffee you buy at the grocery store. This isn't even the hardcore espresso those university students and CEO's order from catalogues.
This was a forbidden coffee bean found only on the Brazilian Pacaraima Mountains, located 9000 feet above the ground, where no men dared venture.
…Except for a few Brazilian ninjas who obtained the coffee beans for uses in biological warfare.
Now these beans, called Igu Igu beans, were pitch black in colour, and meant a slow painful death to anyone who ate them. One bean was the equivalent of 673 shots of deluxe espresso, and the shock of the caffeine rush would result in convulsions and the explosion of the cerebellum in the brain.
It would kill anyone.
Anyone…but Gaara, that is.
Fortunately for the Sand-Nin, Shukaku provided the physical endurance needed for such a lethal coffee concoction, and it was the only thing that truly prevented Gaara from falling asleep and letting Shukaku wreak happy havoc.
One bean a night was the prescription, and was to be taken at midnight every day.
But it was 1:45 AM now, and Gaara could already feel the withdrawal symptoms. Moving to stand, he noticed with a silent curse that his body felt like lead. Stumbling out of his chair, he leaned against the wall as he slowly made his way out of his room and down the stairs.
He paused frequently, blinking as his vision dissolved temporarily into a haze of colours.
16.3 minutes later, he found himself in the kitchen. He threw open the cabinet above the exhaust fan, reaching for the tin can that contained the beans.
His eyes widened when he felt his fingers grasp at air, and for a moment he just stood there, feeling the empty space with his fingers.
A cold bead of sweat dripped down his neck as looked into the cabinet, staring in horror at the empty space next to the box of sugar. He pushed aside the sugar, and then started throwing things behind him, looking desperately for the tin can.
Another wave of dizziness hit him, and he collapsed against the counter, the cool surface slapping the drowsiness from him. Struggling towards the medicine cabinet, he knocked aside Temari's PMS medicine and Kankuro's Metamucil, only to see that it wasn't there.
"Where…?" He gasped as he slumped against the counter again, recalling Temari and Kankuro's fight with another thrill of horror. Temari must have grabbed his coffee and thrown it at Kankuro.
Oh shit.
Lurching away from the counter, he stumbled out of the kitchen and hurled himself at the stairs, climbing with whatever energy he had left. He had to pause between steps to blink away the fogginess in his vision as his mind whirled.
It seemed like an eternity before he ascended the last stair, and gasping in effort, he stood up in the hallway. His head was pounding, and every step felt like a step closer to heaven, as Temari's door loomed ahead, so close but yet so far.
Breathing hard as another bead of sweat dripped over his brow, Gaara summoned whatever power he had left inside him and threw himself at Temari's door.
Temari was frowning in her sleep. She was having a strange dream in which she was in a fairy world, looking for a legendary Satyr named Kazekage with her dwarf companion, Kankuro, and pixie guide, Gaara.
Gaara was fluttering around her head and was pulling her hair, wearing the cutest arrangement of maple leaves and his gourd strapped on his back.
"Kankuro," she whined as she ducked her head. "Tell him to stop…"
Kankuro was stuffing his face with dirt, and then walked the other way and disappeared into the bushes.
"Kankuro!" She called in surprise, and then yelped when pixie Gaara yanked on her hair again.
"Would you stop it!"
Turning away from him in a huff, she stood there for a few seconds, wondering what the hell she was doing in such a messed up dream when Gaara suddenly took off his gourd and threw it at the back of her head.
"Ah!" She gasped in surprise when she woke and sat up abruptly, the sound of her door bursting open startling her.
Gaara stumbled in, staggering like a drunk as he leaned against her dresser, raising his head to choke out two words as Temari stood up in alarm.
"Need…" he choked out. "…coffee!"
Abruptly, he went still, and his hand slipped off her dresser when he suddenly passed out, falling to the floor with a thump.
"Gaara!" Temari cried as she rushed to his side, staring in horror at him lying face down on the floor.
Grabbing him, she turned him over and realized with a cold wave of dread that he was doing the last thing anybody wanted him to do.
He was asleep.
"KANKURO!" Temari screamed at the top of her lungs as she pulled Gaara's head into her lap. "WAKE UP!"
There was a sound of a distant crash in the other room and a muffled curse. A sudden thump told Temari that he had fallen out of his bed, but he ran into the hallway a few seconds later, skidding into her room wearing only his robe over his happy face boxers.
"What happened?" He yelled as he burst in, looking down at Temari frantically slapping Gaara's cheeks.
"He's asleep!" Temari cried, as all the colour drained from Kankuro's face. "He's out cold!"
"Oh my God!" Kankuro gasped, slapping his hands to his face in horror. "We're gonna die!"
"He needs his coffee," Temari said as she heaved her unconscious brother to his feet, letting Kankuro sling him over his shoulder. "We have to find it!"
Kankuro nodded nervously as she shot out of her room and practically jumped the stairs, with Kankuro struggling after her.
Dumping Gaara unceremoniously against the sofa, Kankuro frantically tried to wake him as Temari tore the kitchen apart, looking for the missing tin can.
"Aauugghhh!" Kankuro's yell of alarm came from the living room. "Hurry, Temari! He's starting to go veiny!"
Swearing in her blind panic, Temari knelt to look under the table. She almost fainted with relief when she saw the can of Igu Igu beans lying on its side. Straining her arm, she reached for it and grabbed it.
Jumping to her feet, she yanked off the lid and pulled out one bean, crushing it in her fist before she dumped it in a cup. She quickly filled it with water before rushing into the living room.
Kankuro grabbed Gaara's jaw and opened his mouth, grimacing when he noticed the elongating fangs.
Wasting no time, Temari knelt before him and tilted his head forward. She tipped the coffee down his throat as Kankuro prostrated himself on the floor and prayed for entrance into Heaven if he died.
Temari dropped the cup as the last of the drops disappeared into Gaara's mouth, and Kankuro slowly stood up.
Seconds passed as they both stood there, petrified.
Then Gaara's eyes suddenly opened.
Temari screamed.
Kankuro swore.
Gaara's hand shot out and he grabbed Kankuro by his robe and threw him over the sofa, his now yellow eyes glowing evilly as he sat up.
Temari scrambled back on her hands and feet and stared, wide-eyed, as Gaara's hand came to his head, and he blinked. The Igu Igu beans started to work their magic, and Shukaku had no choice but to withdraw from the supreme caffeine powers.
Slowly, the varicose veins disappeared and he blinked away the yellow from his eyes.
"Kankuro?" Temari squeaked over her shoulder as Gaara raised his head and looked around in confusion. "I think he's okay…"
The puppet master slowly peeked over the top of the sofa, eyes staring fearfully at the innocent looking red head sitting on the sofa, looking ever so confused.
"Okay…?" Kankuro whimpered in rage, as he slowly stood, his hand rising to point shakily at his demonic brother. "He tried to kill me!"
"It's not his fault," Temari said, trembling a bit as she stood, her cautious gaze still on Gaara.
"Temari?" Gaara questioned, sounding somewhat dazed. "What happened?"
"N-Nothing Gaara," she answered, too relieved to notice Kankuro's fury as he advanced towards Gaara. "You just needed to take your coffee."
"HE DOESN'T NEED COFFEE!" Kankuro suddenly screamed hysterically, turning to face Temari. "HE NEEDS A FREAKIN' EXORCIST!"
"Kankuro!" Temari gasped, as Gaara turned his gaze on him, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Shut up," Gaara said quietly, glaring poison at Kankuro. "My head hurts."
Kankuro could only mouth wordlessly like a fish out of water as Temari dragged him out of the living room.
"Have you lost your mind?" She hissed, pushing him against the wall. "Do you want to die?"
"You're taking his side?" Kankuro hissed back with equal vehemence. "You know that he wouldn't hesitate to kill either of us!"
"Don't start this now," Temari warned, casting a paranoid glance over her shoulder. "He might hear you."
"I don't care anymore, Temari!"
"…you know you love him."
Kankuro just stared at her, his mouth agape for a few seconds.
"…the hell?"
"Shut up. Teenage boys are so retarded!" Temari sighed, giving him a knowing glare. "You act like you don't care about him, but I know you better than that. He's your brother, and no matter how many times he threatens to kill you, you'll still love him."
"That…" Kankuro said blankly. "Is the stupidest thing I have ever heard."
"Only because you're too stupid to understand!" Temari growled, before grabbing his arm and steering him back into the living room.
Gaara was still sitting there, and for a moment, the three of them just stared at each other.
"Um…" Temari started, trying to break the eerie silence. "I don't think I'll be able to go back to sleep…"
"Me neither," Kankuro grumbled, crossing his arms.
"…" Gaara just stared, looking like a subdued little raccoon with his tousled hair and black-rimmed eyes.
"Hey," Temari suddenly offered with a weak smile. "Why don't we just play some board games or something? You know…to pass the time?"
"Whatever," Kankuro shrugged.
"…" Gaara still stared…and still looked like a subdued raccoon.
"Okay then!" Temari said brightly, happy to spend some quality family time with her brothers. "I'll get them. They're in your room, right Kankuro?"
He just nodded tiredly in response.
"I'll be back in a sec," Temari said as she left, leaving her brothers in the living room, ALONE.
Kankuro slowly lowered his behind to the floor, keeping his cautious gaze on the subdued human raccoon that was Gaara.
"So…" Kankuro said, wincing at the unbearable silence. "Uh…what's your favourite game, Gaara?"
Gaara slowly turned his head to stare at him, and Kankuro tried not to recoil as Gaara smiled, rather psychotically.
A bead of sweat dripped down Kankuro's neck.
"O-Oh…t-that's cool, Gaara. Heh…yeah," he stammered, trying not to sigh in relief as Temari's footsteps approached.
Turning, Kankuro looked up and saw what she was holding amongst the pile of games.
The world fell away beneath him.
"I…that…Temari…!" He gasped, as Temari dropped the games to the table and gave him a glare that would have melted lead.
"What…" she whispered, her voice laced with venom as she raised the object. "…is this thing doing in our house?"
It must have fallen from beneath my pillow when…
"Oh shit," Kankuro said in a small voice as Temari threw it down on the table and let hell loose.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" She shrieked, too incensed to worry about Gaara's headache. "Hiding porno magazines in your room!"
Kankuro just cowered under her rage as Temari fumed with disgust, and although she was shrieking, Gaara wasn't angry at all.
On the contrary, he now looked like an inquisitive little raccoon as he glanced between the two of them, looking slightly intrigued.
"What's porno?" He asked curiously.

While each essential oil has its own unique properties, many also share some common therapeutic actions. All plant essences are antiseptic to a greater or lesser degree; good examples being eucalyptus, tea tree and thyme. Some oils are endowed with antiviral properties as well; garlic and tea tree being two of the most powerful.
For obvious reasons, garlic essence is not usually employed in aromatherapy massage (though it has been known!) but instead, is taken as a medicine in the form of garlic capsules. Many essences, notably rosemary and juniper, are also antirheumatic. When rubbed into the skin, they stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation and increase oxygen to the painful areas, which in turn aids the elimination of tissue wastes (uric and lactic acids, for example) which contribute to the pain of arthritic and rheumatic complaints.
Another interesting property of many essential oils (and also herbal remedies) is their adaptogenic or 'normalizing' ability. Researchers in eastern Europe have found that garlic has the ability to raise abnormally low blood pressure, and to lower blood pressure that is too high. Essential oil of hyssop is cited as having the same action. Studies have shown that it causes blood pressure to go up, then down, then back to normal, as if testing out the required pressure! A phenomenon which is totally alien to a synthetic or chemical drug.
Valnet and other doctors in the field of medical aromatherapy have also discovered that blends of certain essences are not only more powerful than when used singly, but that the mysterious factor of synergy is at work - the effect of the whole becoming greater than the sum of its equal parts.
This is particularly noticeable with the anti-bacterial action of essential oils. A blend of clove, thyme, lavender and peppermint, for example, is far more powerful than the chemist might expect of the blend, taking into account the combined chemical constituents of the oils. Curiously, mixing more than five essences is counter-productive. The anti-bacterial action is weakened. But even as loners, certain plant essences are remarkable aggressors against microbial germs. According to Valnet, essential oil of lemon neutralizes typhoid, diphtheria and pneumonia bacteria in less than three hours. To ascertain the most efficacious oils for a particular person, French aromatherapy doctors usually employ the aromatogram. This involves taking a swab from an infected area of the patient, culturing it in the laboratory and then testing as many as fifteen different essences to find out which blend of oils would be the most effective for that particular person's infection. The most potent oils are then encapsulated and administered orally. It may come as a surprise to learn that a different patient suffering from the same named bacterial invasion will need a different blend of oils in order to combat the infection.
Also wide recognize using of Essential Oils in cases of hormonal imbalances, breastfeeding, for normalizing processes in the Central Nervous system and in many other cases.

Registration: TBA Chassis No: DB4GT/0158/R Engine No: 370/0145/GT Aston Martin were very aware that the benefits of their success on the race track were far greater than the costs of taking part and had a significant effect on sales and the public perception of the brand. The DB4, their new model for 1958, was a great success featuring the Tadek Marek all alloy engine and iconic coachwork by Touring, but the design team knew it was not really a high performance sports racer and were working on the 'GT' before the DB4 had entered production. To achieve the performance they were looking for the car needed to be lighter. This was principally achieved by shortening the wheelbase by 5 inches and making the body out of lightweight 18 gauge magnesium alloy as opposed to the weightier 16 gauge aluminium used for the DB4. Weight was shed wherever possible and accordingly the car had no rear seats, bumpers without over-riders and Borrani wheels. The weight saving was 185lbs and the car was also fitted with disc brakes all round, Perspex covers to the headlights and a large bonnet air-intake and another below the grill to service the oil cooler. The engine was uprated and notably fitted with

What are the best ways to travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore?
asked 22 Feb '17, 05:57
To break it down, you have 2 options, to board a plane or a bus. For a cheaper option I would recommend boarding a bus. Although it might taking a little longer to arrive at your destination, you will not be sacrificing comfort as the seat are relatively more spacious to some flights offered on flights, and for the price you pay its very much worth it.
CatchThatBus offers great deals when it comes to bus travels, not to mention the many operators you can choose from as well. They also have an app and a mobile website aside from their desktop website as well. Try them out, I hear their services are good.

He really should have said it more slowly.While cleaning up spilled coffee and ceramic shards from the kitchen floor, I had the passing thought that not only is NPR becoming more commercial, they're also rather sly about their humor.

Jérôme Ferrer
His grandmother once told him…
"Once you work in a restaurant, it becomes your second home. You'll be spending more time there than here."
She was right. Jérôme Ferrer just turned 40, but he's been cooking for 30+ years. He started helping his grandmother prepare family meals as a child, and he already knew then that his relationship with food would become a lifelong commitment.
He and childhood friends and now partners, Ludovic Delonca and Patrice De Felice, all hospitality management graduates, decided to go into business together. Proactive and relentlessly focused on elevating their passion and profession to the next level, the three complemented each other and eventually fulfilled their dream of opening their own restaurant.
They named it Europea, and using their Spanish, Italian and Catalan roots as their muse, they concocted techno-emotional cuisine that provided patrons with a uniquely fresh culinary experience. The restaurant quickly became a required destination. The Société des Chefs, Pâtissiers et Cuisiniers du Québec, the newspapers Le Devoir and Journal de Montréal, and the Debeur restaurant guide named Europea "Restaurant of the Year" in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. In 2011, Jérôme Ferrer was awarded the title of Chef of the Year by the Société des chefs du Québec, and he became a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux.
In 2012, Europea was ranked among TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Top 10 restaurants in the world, and in 2014, it climbed to the #2 spot.
In 2013, Europea was inducted into the GRANDES TABLES DU MONDE, a select association of 166 of the finest restaurants from 24 countries, spanning 5 continents.
The Europea group and its owners arrived in Québec in October 2001, so it's been 14 years since they opened their first establishment here. Over the years, they opened Espace Boutique Europea, the Beaver Hall brasserie, and the Andiamo restaurant. Ferrer also opened Birks Café and Café Grévin with his close friend Francis Reddy. A catering service was added to the operations in 2012. In 2013, Ferrer bought several acres of vineyard from his cousin that once belonged to his father. He created a wine estate and called it "La terre de mon père." He already has some bottles on the market. In 2015, he opened the Cellier du Roi, a chic countryside restaurant located at the upscale Royal Bromont golf club and whose European cuisine is sourced from locally-grown products. Later that same year, in October, he opened Chez Jerry par Europea, a snack bar also specializing in food farmed locally, paving the way to his province-wide franchise business. Starting in summer 2016, Ferrer's Europea Mobile and Jerry Mobile food trucks will be hitting the streets of Greater Montréal and festivals across Québec.
Jérôme Ferrer sums up his philosophy in one sentence:
"Don't dream about your life. Live your dreams."
Welcome to Jérôme Ferrer's unique gastronomic world!
