BISE officials under scrutiny over 'cheating'
Lahore: An inquiry committee set up by the Punjab government has begun
investigating Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE)
officials for their involvement in incidents of curruption and cheating
in matriculation exams.
Secondary Schools Directorate of Public
Instructions (DPI) Mian Abdulhaq said that investigations
had been initiated.
Time needed: He said he had investigated the
officials arrested after being involved in corruption in the Government
Boys High School Chuburgi, adding that it would take "some time" to
affix the blame on any party.
Responsible: Also, another Punjab
Education Department official said that according to the initial
inquiry, the superintendent on duty was responsible. He said the BISE
controller had appointed the superintendent, adding that the matter to
be probed was how much were the controller and the public relations
officer (PRO) involved in the corruption.
He said the
appointed superintendent did not have "appropriate" academic
background, adding that he was just an academy teacher. "It seems that
the controller's mismanagement and incompetence was the reason for the
superintendent's appointment as he is the competent authority to
appoint superintendents at examination centres.
The Punjab
Education Department had launched an inquiry against the BISE
controller and the PRO for their alleged roles in incidents of cheating
and corruption during matriculation exams. The education department had
also removed the entire examination staff of a matriculation centre at
the Government Boys High School Chuburgi, where the superintendents,
deputy superintendent and examiners were found seating a stand-in
candidate with the help of senior BISE officials. A couple of days ago,
a stand-in candidate was arrested by EDO (Education) Dr Muhammad Arshad
at the Government Boys High School Chuburgi. Daily times

The Importance of a Mobile App:
AffiliatesApps.com allows you have one for less than you think
Affiliates apps is on the cutting edge of technology a GAME CHANGER. They understand what is really happening in the digital world and what mobile app usage trends really are. These days, if a business truly wants a website presence, then it has to have a website designed for all mobile devices or a mobile app. (If you did not know, 'app' is short for 'application'). What is the differenceyou might ask? A mobile website is like a mini-version of your regular online website that is adapted for viewing and navigation on mobile devices such as iphones android smartphones. These websites are usually very time consuming to build and require a hell of a lot of maintenance and are very expensive compared to mobile apps. So, the ultimate best option for a business to be accessible to users on a mobile device is to have a mobile app period. This is what Affiliatesapps.com really understands. Still not convinced? Here are two critical facts about mobile app device data usage and business.
Mobile apps are better than mobile ads: We have all seen those teensy annoying ads in the corners of our mobile apps. You likely never tap on them. No one ever does according to the Harvard Business Review. Truly, no one does. Businesses that think that adverts like that is the way business is growing today are living back in the daylike cavemen ,It is not about adverts, it's about apps.
Consumers spend most time in an app:Of all the people on this planet who use a smartphone to access the online internet, 80% of their precious time is spent in an app take a look around you now.Some of this time is spent for entertainment use or social media, but a significant large percentage is spent in business apps usage. Airlines are a good examples of apps people use a lot or on holiday take note when your on a beach or around the pool or in a bar. But when people have time, or are on the go and they want to get work done quickly, they will search the internet and waste time. If your business has an app that can be quickly downloaded instant, your future new customers can email, or call you straight away. Current mobile app customers can just use the app to conduct business immediately without ANY fuss.
Affiliates Apps makes it so fast and simple to get an app for your business. The entire process is website based. All you have to do is select the icons you want or upload your own very easy to do and the purpose these icons will serve will blow your socks off. You fill in the simple personalized details, and voila, you have an mobile app in minutes. Most mobile apps are very simple. They offer a way for users to share the app on social media, to call the business straight from their mobile app, to email and capture email and in most cases to shop ( Buy ). All the "extras" like photos or graphics and drop down menus are dramatically streamlined for that sleek look !
The other amazing thing about Affiliates Apps is that they are well designed with affiliate business in mind. So, if you are an affiliate business marketeer, you know that you get revenue every time you send traffic to or receive traffic from affiliate businessesit makes money.

Nowadays hardly anybody will be surprised at online games. But the technology forges ahead, now you can play not only at home, but almost in any point of the world. I am talking about mobile casino games. Everybody has a mobile phone (smartphone, PDA, Palmtop Computers), the coverage is increasing, so the possibilities for playing are impressive. Let us have a look what mobile casinos and mobile poker rooms offer us.
Mobile app casinos entered the market of mobile app gaming earlier, therefore, there is much more variety here now. Mobile casino app games are offered by gambling app technology specialists Spin3 (a company that is associated with major casino games software provider "Microgaming"), as well as the well known "Play Tech". So far only a limited number of online casinos apps with the software of these companies offer mobile casino app games, but their number is gradually growing. There are a number of mobile casinos apps with their proprietary software affiliated to large online gaming businesses, as well as independent mobile app casinos. It should be stated at once that it is better to play in mobile casinos app, which are represented by famous and well known online website casinos: it is more reputable, more convenient and faster, more depositing and winning and countless withdrawal options, reliable customer support more trust worthy as they are regulated.
Starting to play mobile casino app games a player has to open an account in a corresponding online casino. Sometimes it isallways possible to do it through a mobile cell phone, but it is more convenient sometimes to do it through a computer but times have changed, the internet and mobile account are the same as a golden rule. The majority of online deposit methods, in particular, all the electronic payment systems and options, will also work through a computer client, though, the player can make a deposit from a card directly by means of a mobile cell phone. Downloading your favourite casino games on a mobile iphonetablet or android phone,as ever it is also convenient to have a computer at hand as - complete a special registration form on the online casino web site, enter your landline or mobile phone number, select a country you are from and the latest game and receive an special SMS- message on your phone ( just like a push notification) with the direct URL link for downloading. Again, in this principle, it is always possible to open a WAP version of the casino using the mobile version and download games directly from there, but it is less convenient. In contrast to an online casino where you can download the whole package of games due to storage on your phone but apps are stored on clouds so its much faster and quicker, games are downloaded here one by one, and sometimes the choice is not so wide, approximately ten games: black jack, baccarat, roulette, video poker, keno and various slots. The games are not very big, about 200-300 Kb. It is not difficult to guess that there are certain requirements for your mobile phone. As a matter of fact the majority of contemporary phones meet the mobile casinos requirements as technology with phones is getting more improved On the sites of mobile casinos it is possible to check whether they will work on your phone. iphones ipads tablets and most smartphones such as google Android are perfect
The game is then downloaded, you have a login and a secret password, the money and a FREE welcome bonus is on the account and you can start playing and above all WINNING. I will only make a remark DONT QUOTE US that for your safety purposes in contrast to online casino in mobile phones and tablets it is impossible to record the password, therefore, if you lose a phone, casino money will not be lost.But its always wise to log out

I will start a cna course with arc long beach, ca next month in hopes of initiating a path for a career in nursing.
For some time, I have been reading nursing blogs, threads, etc and find myself overwhelmed by the amount of (contradictory) information posted. I currently hold a bs in finance but am confused by which path to pursue on my way to becoming an rn: asbn? elm? or bridge over from the way bottom? I've yet to do the pre-req's.
I am wondering if anyone (in the carson, ca surrounding area) who has walked this path before me could offer some insight or mentor me along the way? I am more of a visual person and work better hands on. If so, you can also email me at email@example.com. I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you and God bless.

Just know, as of right now, new grad RNs are having a very, very hard time finding their first paid RN job. This may change in a few years, it may not. So, do go in to nursing school with your eyes open.
All the best on your future path!

An Illinois man was charged with first-degree murder Thursday for allegedly helping beat to death the family of his brother's ex-wife.
Jason Harris, 22, of Armington, was charged with five counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, Logan County Sheriff Steve Nichols said.
Identical charges were filed Oct. 2 against Harris' older brother, Christopher Harris, whose former father-in-law, Raymond "Rick" Gee, Gee's wife, Ruth, and three of their children were found bludgeoned to death in their home in the tiny central Illinois town of Beason on Sept. 21.

Where Kindness and Dentistry Meet
"Dr. Wilkes went out of his way to help. He was professional and also showed a great deal of compassion during a difficult time. The staff were also very responsive and willing to do anything they can to help." ~ Van C.
The Dental Health Center specializes in large, complex full-mouth rehabilitations, usually involving the use of dental implants to replace missing teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth or even the entire smile. In addition to all the normal crown/veneer/bridge rehabilitations, below is an explanation of the implant options we offer.
Every case is unique and every patient has different expectations. During our complimentary consult we will find the perfect solution just for you. You deserve this- give us a call!
When a single tooth is missing a dental implant can be placed in the jawbone to act as a new foundation for a natural looking and functioning crown. There are 3 components to a single implant tooth. First is the dental implant that resides in the jawbone. Second is the abutment which acts as a platform for the last component to sit on, which is the crown. Often, dental implants need time to fully heal to the bone before the final crown can be delivered. During this healing stage the implant is either under the tissue, has a healing abutment slightly above the soft tissue or has a temporary tooth on it. Implants are the option of choice for a missing tooth. It is truly a one-tooth solution to a one-tooth problem, opposed to the traditional 3-unit bridge. The 3-unit bridge is a 3-tooth solution for a one-tooth problem.
When multiple teeth are missing implants are still the standard of care. Every missing tooth can receive an implant and individual crown or a bridge can be made over implants as well. Based on the specific circumstances of your case we would determine the best solution.
A floppy conventional denture can be transformed into a stable, chewing-capable denture with dental implants. Two to four implants are placed as foundation pieces in the jawbone. After healing, the implants get a 3snap abutment placed on top of them. Corresponding button-snaps are placed inside the denture. The denture then "snaps" into place. You are able to place and remove the denture at any time. The implants give retention to the denture and allow the patient to smile and chew with more confidence than the conventional denture offers. Minimal rocking and movement of the denture still exist, however.
Similar cosmetics as the snap-in denture but fixed in place. Instead of placing snap abutments on the implants, the denture is screwed into the implants. Only the doctor is able to remove this type of denture. Virtually no rocking or movement is detectable with this design. The fixed denture can be accomplished with as little as four implants; however, we routinely place six implants for this solution to ensure a strong and stable bite.
This is the most natural looking, fitting and feeling option. Unlike the denture options, Fixed Zirconia has no pink plastic and doesn't require excessive material to help strengthen the denture. Milled from a 5-axis milling machine and hand finished, this is the hallmark restorative option for patients without teeth. Either screwed or cemented in place, this option offers no compromise for chewing, comfort and esthetics. This designed is engineered with 6 or 8 implants, depending on circumstances.

Despite a string of defeats, a citizens group from Wayne on Tuesday continued its 15-year fight against the proposed extension of Kirk Road in Kane County.
Kane officials say the 1.1-mile extension will be open for traffic in 1988 regardless of what its critics do.
But the opponents, led by Douglas Hancock of Wayne, packed the monthly Kane County Board meeting in Geneva.
At the meeting, Hancock disclosed results of a study, paid for by the citizens group, indicating that the project would be a waste of money.

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just.This is the testimony of Genelle Guzman-McMillan who was the last person pulled out alive from the rubble of the World Trade Center on 9/11. She spent 27 hours buried alive before being rescued.
– John 5:28-30
Last World Trade Center Survivor Tells of Meeting God in the Rubble
Trapped under concrete and steel with her right hand pinned under her body and legs crushed beneath a steel beam, Guzman-McMillan extended her left hand into the sliver of open space above her and found the strength to pray ... and pray and pray. Unsure of her eternal fate, Guzman-McMillan pleaded for hours with God to forgive her of her sins and to give her another chance.
"I said to Him, 'please, God, if you save me today ... give me a second chance, I promise I will do Your will," Guzman-McMillan told the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), adding that she was serious about the promises she made that day.
Her hand still extended above her in the pocket of open space, Guzman-McMillan asked God to send her a sign that He had heard her plea.
"Someone grabbed me by my hand and called me by my name, saying, 'Genelle, I've got you. My name is Paul," she recounted for CBN.
"I was asking God for a miracle, for a sign [and Paul] held my hand so tight ... reassuringly," Guzman-McMillan told CP, adding that she was sure she was not hallucinating.
Within minutes of Paul's appearing, Guzman-McMillan could hear rescue workers calling out for survivors.
Sometimes when I spend time in silent prayer, just trying to be in the presence of God and allowing his voice to speak to me I receive some bit of wisdom. The other day I was repeating the prayer of the Rosary in Spanish. The last words are, "... ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amen." Which in English is "... now and at the hour of our death. Amen."
I prefer the Spanish. And as I was repeating it, I was struck by the beauty of the words, "ahora y en la hora" because of the poetic quality of the repetition of the word "ahora" followed by "la hora". "Now" and "at the time". But in Spanish the meaning is slightly different. It is more like "at this time" and "at the time" or "at this hour" and "at the hour".
It has a cadence like the ringing of a bell. It is a memento mori, a constant reminder of the moment of death. A reminder that at the moment of death, all the things that seem so important now will have little importance then. It is in this awareness where we find God waiting for us, reaching out his hand to touch us.
When I first learned to recite the Rosary I was repulsed by these words. They seemed so morbidly Catholic. It reminded me of somber scenes of my Grandmother with a black veil covering her head. It had the feel of a funeral. But now I have learned to embrace these words and see the profound beauty in them. Reciting them changes you inside. It opens your heart and softens it just a little bit with each repetition.

Nearly 30 professionals interested or engaged in advocacy for microbicide research and development joined an expert panel at the PATH office in Washington, DC, on October 10, 2008. The breakfast event was the second in the Conversations in Global Health series—a forum for global health professionals to discuss timely issues and challenges.
Focusing on advocacy for microbicides research and development, the conversation featured four Global Campaign for Microbicides staff with experience organizing and advocating for microbicides in Africa, Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United States. The Global Campaign for Microbicides secretariat is housed at PATH and is a leader in the field of microbicides. Speakers shared their unique perspectives on in-country advocacy organizing and discussed the differences and similarities inherent in advocacy on the global scale.
Microbicides offer exciting possibilities for stemming the spread of sexually transmitted infections, especially HIV, and would give women, in particular, more control over their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Promoting microbicide research and development is challenging because an effective microbicide has not yet been found, explained Anna Forbes, deputy director of the Global Campaign for Microbicides. After several product trials—including the cellulose sulphate (CS) trial—were closed in 2007, advocacy for further research and development now must include coordinated, clear, and up-to-date information and must contextualize the challenges facing all new drug development. Understanding that developing a microbicide is a long and many-tiered process is crucial to successful advocacy.
Advocates must relay information about product development, clinical trials, and the importance of continued microbicide research both clearly and quickly, said Deborah Baron, coordinator of the Microbicides Media and Communications Initiative. Baron spoke about her experience coordinating communication efforts in Johannesburg, South Africa, an area where several microbicides trials are being conducted.
Using her experience during the CS trial closure, Baron explained that advocates should focus on giving policymakers and the public realistic, accurate, and consistent messages about product development. Baron emphasized establishing clear channels of communication between trial participants and researchers and involving the community in clinical trials.
The Global Campaign for Microbicides' network of advocates is active around the world. Marc-André LeBlanc, the campaign's global north programs coordinator, shared experiences advocating in Europe, Canada, and the United States. Dr. Samukeliso Dube, the campaign's Africa program leader, spoke about in-country advocacy in South Africa. In addition, Dr. Dube addressed the historical political landscape in South Africa, as well as the rapid and exciting political change that is currently occurring. The panelists emphasized the importance of coordination between advocacy actors on all levels.

Volunteer Opportunities and the Continued Development of the Garden
Between raindrops, Fairmount, Francisville, and Spring Garden neighbors whose volunteer activities earned them personal plots at Corinthian Gardens worked to ready their spaces for spring planting.
Fund-raising and grant-seeking work continues, as does development of a management plan, which will permit the eventual dawn-to-dusk opening of Corinthian Gardens to the public. In the meantime, special events will be held to which everyone is invited. The first was FESPP's annual Earth Day celebration with youngsters from Bache Martin School, on April 25.

Since 1957, the U.S. military has used the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, more commonly known as the NATO phonetic alphabet. The code words of this phonetic alphabet are as follows: alpha, bravo, Charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot, golf, hotel, India, Juliett, kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, tango, uniform, Victor, whiskey, x-ray, Yankee and Zulu.Continue Reading
The NATO phonetic alphabet also prescribes different pronunciations for the numbers three, four, five and nine, which are "tree," "fow-er," "fife" and "niner," respectively. These alterations reduce the risk of confusing numerals with words; nine is difficult to distinguish from the German word "nein," for example.
Spelling alphabets allow for clearer communication in noisy environments or when speaking over the radio or telephone. While "b" and "d" may be difficult to distinguish, especially in the absence of visual cues and body language, "bravo" and "delta" are not. In general, the creators of spelling alphabets choose code words that are as distinct from each other as possible. This allows listeners to understand a message even when static or other interference cuts off part of a code word.
The British Army created the first spelling alphabet in 1898. This alphabet only had code words for the most commonly misunderstood letters, such as "Emma" for "m" and "Esses" for "s."Learn more about Military

An attempt to challenge the law on assisted suicide has failed at the High Court. Noel Conway wanted to change the law so that terminally ill people could be prescribed lethal drugs by a doctor.
Christian Concern's Roger Kiska shows how the legalisation of assisted suicide in European countries has led to huge numbers of people committing suicide with a doctor's help. He calls us to be vigilant and never allow our vulnerable citizens to fall prey to "doctor prescribed death".
Noel Conway, a terminally ill assisted suicide campaigner, has lost his permission hearing before the high court seeking to challenge existing prohibitions against doctor prescribed death. Denying permission, Lord Justice Burnet held that the Supreme Court had looked at the matter in 2014 and decided that it was a matter for Parliament to review and they did just that. As such the court found that there was no case to bring.
Dr Peter Saunders, Campaign Director for the Care Not Killing Alliance commented: "This is not a day for celebration. This was a troubling case that sought to usurp the democratic will of Parliament. Only a year and half ago, MPs looked very carefully at this complex issue and comprehensively rejected changing the law by 330 votes to 118.
"Changing the law is also opposed by every major disability rights organisation and doctors' group, including the BMA, Royal College of GPs and the Association for Palliative Medicine who have looked at this issue in detail and concluded that there is no safe system of assisted suicide and euthanasia anywhere in the world."
The risk of assisted suicide
The Christian Legal Centre, recognizing the risk of assisted suicide and euthanasia laws to the most vulnerable in our society: the sick, elderly, depressed or disabled; recently supported Nikki and Merv Kenward in their case challenging the DPP's relaxing of its prosecutorial guidelines relating to medical personnel who participate in bringing on an unnatural death.
That case was important because European history has shown that once adopted, doctor-prescribed death escapes regulation and the circumstances in which it is allowed grows rapidly and exponentially. Examples abound. In Switzerland, once doctor prescribed death was adopted, the instances of assisted suicide grew an astonishing 700 percent in just 10 years. In the Netherlands, instances of unreported involuntary euthanasia are rampant. That means the death of patients who have not given their consent to die: our mothers and fathers, our grandparents, and our disabled. The courts in the Netherlands have now even extended assisted suicide to cases involving depression, even where no physical suffering is present. And in Belgium, only 2 years ago, they legalised child euthanasia and assisted suicide. That means a child who is too young to smoke, drink, vote, or rent a car can voluntarily end his or her life. And these examples are just the tip of the iceberg.
For those who believe that such an unregulated expansion cannot happen in the United Kingdom, they need look no further than the legalisation of abortion in 1967. In 1967, there were 21,400 abortions in the United Kingdom. In 2016, those figures jumped to an astonishing 208,553 abortions; that is 8,500,000 unborn children having lost their lives since 1967. The practise of abortion has become largely unregulated with safeguards and procedures meant to protect the unborn going largely ignored. Clearly, if adopted, assisted suicide and euthanasia laws would take on the same tragic trajectory here in the United Kingdom.
As much as the media or campaign organisations try to paint assisted suicide as the proverbial velvet pillow death surrounded by loved ones, the reality has proven that it is something very different. We must be vigilant and never allow the scourge that is doctor prescribed death to put our most vulnerable citizens at risk as it has so notoriously in other European jurisdictions.

An unfamiliar Bayern side lacking a host of the club's big-name stars were outmuscled by physically strong Borussia Dortmund in Wednesday's first competitive match of the new campaign, as last season's league runners-up and beaten cup finalists retained the DFL Supercup, the traditional curtain-raiser to the new campaign.
The 80,667 full house at Signal Iduna Park saw Bayern make a brisk start but cede the initiative to the robust home side, who took the lead at the midpoint of the first half through Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Manuel Neuer made a string of important saves as Jürgen Klopp's team enjoyed the better of the chances, but even the world's best keeper was powerless to prevent Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang heading his side two goals to the good and sealing the outcome after 62 minutes.
The double winners now enter the season proper on Sunday in the DFB Cup first round away to third-tier Preußen Münster, before the official 2014/15 Bundesliga opener at home to VfL Wolfsburg the following Friday.
Three competitive debuts
Despite the fact that the club's World Cup winners only resumed training a week ago, Pep Guardiola's first starting line-up of the new campaign included Neuer, Jerome Boateng and Thomas Müller, with competitive debuts for summer signings Juan Bernat, Sebastian Rode and former BVB hero Robert Lewandowski. Young Gianluca Gaudino has excelled in pre-season but was nonetheless a surprise starter in a match of this significance, while FCB were obliged to do without Franck Ribery, Rafinha and Bastian Schweinsteiger due to injury. A strong bench included Philipp Lahm, Mario Götze, Dante and Friday's goalkeeping capture Pep Reina.
It meant the Bavarians started with captain for the day Neuer in goal and Boateng, Javi Martinez and David Alaba in a back three now familiar from the pre-season period. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rode lined up in defensive midfield, with Bernat, Gaudino, Xherdan Shaqiri, Müller and Lewandowski forming the attacking unit.
BVB boss Klopp began with none of his World Cup stars but handed first outings to new arrivals Matthias Ginter at centre-back and striker Ciro Immobile, the top scorer in Italy's Serie A last term.
Goal down at half-time
After the opening formalities and referee Peter Gagelmann's whistle for kick-off on an overcast evening in the Ruhr Valley, FCB were soon on the attack and Shaqiri drew an early save from BVB backup keeper Mitch Langerak, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang drove high and Immobile shot wide at the other end.
The game developed a pleasing flow without many clear-cut chances, although the home side upped the pace after a quarter-hour and Neuer was in action three times, preventing an overhit Boateng back-pass ending in an embarrassing own goal, beating out an Oliver Kirch drive, and saving comfortably from the same player's header.
But the men in yellow had the bit between their teeth and Mkhitaryan crashed home a loose ball to hand his side the lead after 23 minutes. There was another setback for the visitors after 31 minutes when Martinez stayed down after an aerial challenge and had to be stretchered off, Dante coming on in his place.
Munich focused on holding their lines for a spell and Klopp's men were given little room for manoeuvre, although Neuer was called upon again in a hectic period running up to half-time, the captain standing firm against powerful but central shots from Sebastian Kehl, Jonas Hofmann and Kehl again.
Chances few and far between
Guardiola sent on Lahm for Müller at half-time and the Reds were immediately on the attack, but Langerak blocked bravely from his former team-mate Lewandowski. BVB sub Erik Durm raced to the by-line but Neuer plucked the youngster's cross out of the air, before Götze took over from Hojbjerg on the hour.
Immobile flicked wide from a difficult angle as FCB continued to lose possession unusually cheaply, and Guardiola's men were punished on 62 minutes when Aubameyang rose unchallenged to head a Lukasz Piszczek cross firmly past Neuer and make the score 2-0. The scorer immediately gave way to new arrival Adrian Ramos, but the pace dropped for a spell and there was precious little goalmouth action to entertain the huge crowd.
Dortmund were content to play on the break now and the powerful Immobile surged past last man Boateng but failed with an attempted chip, before Mkhitaryan curled a shot inches wide of Neuer's far post. But FCB were not beaten yet and Langerak finger-tipped an 80th-minute Alaba free-kick round the post, but the yellow-and-blacks continued to tackle effectively and closed out the win without undue difficulty.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
NBC has already got an Olympic-scale problem on its hands with the decision to tape-delay all its coverage, ensuring that events are long-over and amply discussed by the time US viewers get a chance to see them. They are, dare I say, old news by the time people get a chance to actually view them. Which makes it hard to enjoy the Olympics as a collective viewing experience.
Case in point on Thursday when Gabby Douglas hurtled into history, taking individual all-round gold in an impressive display of gymnastics so flawless that a judge's mouth actually fell open during her vault CORRECTION: That was her teammate, Mckayla Maroney. Oh, did I mention that she led Team USA to gold as well, taking 33 percent of the points?
Gabby soars above the mat.
This girl's got it, yo.
For viewers patient enough to wait until way after every major news outlet had reported on Gabby's historic win to watch, NBC finally aired the Olympics on Thursday night. And this happened:
Bob Costas tossed off a transition to London with a reference to Douglas and the message she was sending to young black girls right before commercial break, with a huge picture of her on screen behind him, and the commercial NBC chose to cut to was one of a chimpanzee capuchin, thanks to the numerous readers more zoologically literate than I am! on the rings. It's a promotion for a new NBC show and the network is clearly hoping to capitalize on the high profile of the Olympics to attract some viewers.
Cut to epic controversy. Some people claim the commercial is racist. Others claim it was accidental.
I think you can guess which side I'm on here.
Let's start with the "accidental" side, though. People say that NBC has been airing the ad throughout the Olympics, which apparently is supposed to magically make it okay; after all, no one complained all those other times. I for one would argue, however, that since team USA gymnastics includes multiple Black athletes, that ad was dubious no matter when it ran; it was just especially offensive in this setting.
Because there is an extremely long history of comparing Black folks to apes. And you can't escape that history by claiming that the ad is innocent in nature, or referencing the Olympics, or even paying homage to Olympic gymnasts. It is straight-up offensive.
Yo, is this racist?
Particularly when you're running it sandwiched between coverage about a young black woman kicking ass and taking names in the all-round. The connection here is crystal clear and everyone saw it. Numerous black viewers of Olympic coverage spotted and challenged it, and integrated it into their larger discussion about why race is important here; we'd already seen Douglas' contributions to the team minimized and erased in media coverage, and now the network slapped viewers in the face with a blatantly racist ad.
"But, but," the it's-not-racist people claim, "the rings are a men's event, ergo your argument is invalid."
You're right, the rings are a men's event, but they are indelibly associated with gymnastics, and the decision to cut from a discussion about Gabby Douglas to a fucking monkey doing gymnastics is transparently racist. Oh, did I mention that John Orozco, a black gymnast, represented the United States in the men's finals? You might not have heard about the men's finals because the USA men finished out of the running, but that ad was equally offensive to them and to team USA as a whole.
Here's John Orozco rocking it on rings.
Because using a monkey is a specially loaded image.
If they'd chosen a sloth, it would have read very differently. Because we don't have centuries of bullshit racist theorizing about how black folks are a "missing link" between white perfection and sloths. We don't have centuries of cartoons, jokes and commentary linking black folks with sloths. We don't use highly caricatured images of sloths to depict major black social and political figures. We don't refer to black men as sloths in an attempt to dehumanize them.
The people who developed that ad chose to use a monkey. Chose to do so with the specific awareness that the United States was sending black gymnasts to London, and some of them would undoubtedly make the gymnastics finals. Numerous people involved in the conception and development of that ad saw no problem with imagery of a monkey doing gymnastics airing alongside some of our most elite athletes, including young black women like Gabby Douglas.
Time to hit the uneven bars.
Gabby Douglas owned it on Thursday, and I want to focus on celebrating her accomplishments, but I am not going to pretend for one second that the media's coverage of her and Team USA hasn't been racist, nor am I going to pretend that I don't have a problem with this advertisement.
There are some who want to ask "Why we need to bring race into it" and they're the same kinds of people who say we live in a "post-racial" society. We need to bring race into it because Gabby Douglas' race is important. The ad content NBC chose to air alongside coverage of her accomplishments was important. Iconography is important, and NBC sent a very clear message here.

PEDAL – serious research about play
What is PEDAL?
PEDAL is located in the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Education, and was launched in October 2015 with funding from the LEGO Foundation. Our mission is to conduct academic research into the role of play in young children's education, development and learning to inform wider practice and policy. PEDAL is part of the Psychology, Education and Learning Studies Research Group at the Faculty.
Why research play?
Play is an integral part of a happy childhood. All children and most adults engage in playful activities, including physical play, play with objects, symbolic play, pretence play and games with rules. At the minimum, it is clear that play is enjoyed by its participants, and this alone indicates it has motivational value in relation to learning.
However, beyond this, little has been scientifically established about the possible benefits of human playfulness, and it is currently under-researched. Play advocates claim that it enhances learning, has a clear role in education, and supports emotional well-being, good mental health, creativity and social competence. As such, it follows that play may have the potential to contribute to economic, social and cultural development.
Through PEDAL's research, the role of play in children's education, development and learning will be more widely understood by those involved in their care and education. New insights will inform effective evidence-based policy and practice – and will unlock a source of knowledge and inspiration that will improve children's lives around the world.

Coastal Retreat
Set in the Royal National Park on the water this project incorporated natural timbers in our design casual plantings of Rhaphis, Citrus and a water pond using an 18th century Chinese cast iron lotus bowl. Interiors are relaxed and casual with a eclectic mix of furniture and fabrics.
City Property 2
A sandstone house built in 1890 located on Sydney's north shore required a rejuvenation. Period plantings of Roses, Hydrangeas, Iris Japanese Maples and perennials were replanted to enhance the heritage of the property.The 1970's pool was softened with the planting of Boston ivy on walls.
City Property 1
This small cottage located in Paddington was completely gutted. The front, facing south was planted with Camellia japonicas, a sea of dwarf Mini Mondo and large sandstone stepping stones used to give a feeling of space and width to the narrow frontage. 19th century mirrored panels with Italian pines were planted in the rear courtyard to add depth and space to area.
Rural Property 2
Located in the Hawkesbury Valley this 1970's house was completely gutted internally and transformed into a rustic rural property. . Working with the client we located reclaimed timbers from Australian wool stores. Posts were re milled, floorboards re sized and wire brushed to provide a rustic ambiance. Over a year we located key pieces in Europe for the interior such as a 4 metre 19th century florist table and various pieces of industrial furniture. Large 25 year old Japanese Maples and Gleditsias were brought to site and planted using cranes. The exterior areas were landscaped using both recycled bricks and local sandstone with a combination of native Grevilleas Lilli Pillis and some traditional planting such as a rustic pergola covered in Wisteria.
Rural Property 1
Parterre was commissioned in 1999 to design and create a garden and facilities for a 3,200 acre rural cattle property.
The brief was to create a garden around a central contemporary homestead and adjoining pavilions, incorporating design and layout of swimming pool, tennis court , vineyard, orchards, vegetable garden, landscaping to cattleyards, farm buildings, equestrian stables, gym , theatre and entertainment facilities.
Over the next 5 years paddocks were transformed into an expansive garden of 10 acres with over 3000 trees planted.

During his campaign to be Mayor, Londoners were told that Boris Johnson's journalism career showed what he could really achieve in his political career. But when Londoners turned round and quoted the results of that career, they were accused of smearing and traducing him.
But now those smears and battles are over, we are again being told that his journalistic successes are a sign of his future political successes. Boris' glittering career, the Evening Standard tell us, shows us that only he has the 'Honesty and Competence' to do the job.
So now we have four years of that honesty and competence ahead of us, let's look at some previous examples of his honesty and competence, told by the people who saw them first hand- his fellow journalists:
Boris Johnson apparently had some success as a correspondent in Brussels. However, Boris' initial success was perhaps not all that it seemed, as Matthew Bell reveals in today's Independent on Sunday:
Matthew Bell: During his time as Brussels correspondent for 'The Daily Telegraph', Boris Johnson impressed his editor by filing story after exclusive story, all apparently unnoticed by other papers. There were mutterings that these scoops were perhaps not as firmly wedded to the truth as might have been desirable. Most memorable among them was a story in 1991 following an announcement by the European Commission that it was leaving its Berlaymont headquarters because of the health and safety risks from leaking asbestos. Johnson's explosive take on this was that the much-despised building was subsequently to be blown up. Seventeen years later, although it is now free of asbestos, the EC has yet to pack the walls with dynamite.
After Boris gained his first journalism job at the Times, he quickly lost it again when it was discovered that he had invented a quotation from his godfather, Colin Lucas. The quotation lost Boris his job and seriously damaged the academic and professional reputation of his godfather.
Boris Johnson: It was a complete nightmare of a disaster, and to make it even worse, that very week Colin was trying to become master of Balliol College. He later succeeded - but not that time. Of all the mistakes I've made, I think that takes the biscuit.
Boris Johnson's editorship of the Spectator and it's increased circulation is held up by supporters and himself as an example of why he is up to the job. Boris, we are told 'is a master of delegation.' However, quite how much of a master he is, was revealed by one of his colleagues at the Spectator:
Matthew Parris: Having been one of Mr Johnson's stable of writers when he was editor of The Spectator, I must challenge Ken Livingstone's complaint that as former editor of a small right-wing magazine, the only administrative decision Mr Johnson ever took was choosing a restaurant for lunch. This paints an exaggeratedly hands-on picture of the Boris management style. His secretary did that kind of thing. You were just lucky if Boris came to the lunch.
During the campaign, this tendency to miss appointments was revealed in a number of cancelled appearances and hustings. All of which was no surprise to a fellow journalist at The Times
David Aaronovitch: There is hardly a senior soul in this business who hasn't turned up to an evening with Boris, to discover that it is an evening with anyone but. "I'm sorry," says the chair, anticipating the boos of disappointment, "but Boris Johnson is unable to be with us." followed by some lie."
When Boris couldn't or didn't make it to some of these appointments he would sometimes send a weary representative in his place. This was a trend noticed by another colleague at The Telegraph:
Simon Heffer: There were stooges when Mr Johnson was en route to be president of the Oxford Union. He has had stooges all through journalism, who did significant parts of his various jobs for him, usually with little thanks or reward. And now there are stooges in politics. If Mr Johnson became Mayor tomorrow, he would be the front man for nameless others who would run London. That may well be better than more of Mr Livingstone. It would not be what people think they are voting for.
So there you have it. Honesty and Competence in equal measures.
