Ask the Health Food Expert – Dr. Kate Rheame-Bleue
Natural Factors Garcinia Cambogia combats food cravings and increases fat metabolism
In North America, roughly two out of every three adults is either overweight or obese, putting them at increased risk of a range of serious health conditions. Successful weight management is an important long-term health goal, but if you're finding it hard to achieve healthy and sustainable weight loss, it could be time to turn to natural products for a little extra help.
Natural Factors Garcinia cambogia is a non-GMO formula containing 750 mg of superior quality Garcinia cambogia per tablet. Garcinia cambogia is a fruit of the tamarind family and has been shown to combat food cravings and help burn off stubborn fat. It promotes a feeling of fullness, helping you to decrease your intake of calories, and increases fat metabolism, helping you to achieve your target weight more easily.
How does Garcinia cambogia support healthy weight loss
Garcinia cambogia fruit rind extract contains a rich natural source of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a compound that inhibits the activity of an enzyme that converts dietary carbohydrates into fat and sugars.
A 60% HCA concentration has been seen in clinical studies to restrict the conversion of carbohydrates into fat thereby encouraging the body to burn existing fat stores. In an eight-week study, people who took 2800 mg of HCA per day 30–60 minutes before meals, while eating 2000 kcal/day and walking 30 minutes five days a week, had an average 5.4% reduction in body weight and a 5.2% reduction in body mass index (BMI).*
The same study also found that those taking the Garcinia cambogia extract had significant decreases in:
- Overall food intake
- Total cholesterol
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol)
- Triglycerides
- Serum leptin levels
And a significant increase in:
- Beneficial HDL cholesterol
- Fat-burning
- Serotonin release in brain tissue
In addition to supporting fat metabolism, blood sugar regulation and cholesterol levels, Garcinia cambogia is known to promote a feeling of fullness, which can help reduce appetite and control cravings.
Healthy appetite control
The underlying mechanism for Garcinia cambogia's appetite-suppressing effect appears to be the ability of HCA to increase levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain in a dose-dependent manner.*
Serotonin is associated with increased feelings of satisfaction and an improved ability to curb cravings and control appetite. As such, Garcinia cambogia acts as a natural, stimulant-free appetite suppressant to help you stick to a reduced calorie diet and achieve your weight loss goals.
Garcinia cambogia is a high-quality, clinically studied herb that makes it easier to curb cravings, burn off stubborn fat and to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight while following a weight loss program that includes a reduced calorie diet and regular exercise.

Fired Packers coach Mike McCarthy spoke to his former players one last time Wednesday, but that was apparently just one of his visits to his old office.
According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, McCarthy also went by Tuesday to speak to his former staff, with the permission of team officials including team president Mark Murphy and General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Demovsky also caught up with McCarthy, before he left town for the weekend, and McCarthy said he planned to "lay low and try to finish this professional chapter on the high road."
There has been immediate speculation about McCarthy as an option for jobs that are either open or may come open soon, with Cleveland on that list because of the numerous former Packers in the front office there, including G.M. John Dorsey.
But it's not a certainty that McCarthy will coach anywhere, as staying put in Green Bay and being paid to be an unemployed civilian is still something he's considering. He's been in Green Bay 13 years and he and his wife have school-aged children, so packing up and moving isn't simple.
While he didn't get to leave on his own terms, allowing him to come back in the building twice isn't something that would happen in many NFL offices.
"He spoke to the team yesterday and that was good," Murphy said during an interview on WTMJ. "I think Mike wanted some closure with the players and some of the other coaches to be able to thank them and say goodbye to them as well."
And now he's apparently going to drop out for a bit, while he decides his next move, or whether to make one at all.

Obama, Cameron vow to stay the course in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron said Wednesday that they didn't see a need to accelerate the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, regardless of violent outbreaks abroad or war weariness at home.
"I don't anticipate at this stage that we're going to be making any sudden additional changes to the plan that we currently have," Obama said in a White House news conference with Cameron at his side.
"We will not give up on this mission," added Cameron, who was making an official visit to the White House, capped by a state dinner Wednesday evening.
The two leaders met amid new calls to get allied troops out of Afghanistan now, rather than gradually over the next two and half years as planned. Recent polls found that a majority of Americans want to get out even before allied troops can train Afghan security forces to secure their own country.
The calls were prompted by Afghan violence against U.S. troops after the burning of some Qurans, a shooting rampage allegedly by a U.S. soldier that killed 16 Afghan civilians and a roadside bomb that killed six British troops, the worst loss of life for the British since 2006.
"People get weary," Obama said. "And they know friends and neighbors who have lost loved ones as a consequence of war."
Making a long-planned visit to Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta echoed the commitment to stay the course.
"We will not allow individual incidents to undermine our resolve," he told Marines at Camp Leatherneck. "We will be tested. We will be challenged. We'll be challenged by our enemy. We'll be challenged by ourselves. We'll be challenged by the hell of war itself. But none of that, none of that, must ever deter us from the mission that we must achieve."
At the White House, the two leaders strove to assure their countries that the effort has been worth the cost.
"If you compare where we are today with where we've been two, three years ago, the situation is considerably improved. I think the U.S. surge and the additional U.K. troops we put in, particularly into Helmand province, had a transformative effect," Cameron said.
"The level of insurgent attacks are right down. The level of security is right up. The capital of Helmand province, Lashkar Gah, is now fully transitioned over to Afghan-led control. The markets are open. You're able to do and take part in economic activity in that town, which simply wasn't possible when I first visited it several years ago."
That said, they reaffirmed their commitment to continue drawing out troops.
"We have already taken out 10,000 of our troops," Obama said. "We're slated to draw down an additional 23,000 by this summer. There will be a robust coalition presence inside of Afghanistan during this fighting season to make sure that the Taliban understand that they're not going to be able to regain momentum.
"After the fighting season, in conjunction with all our allies, we will continue to look at how do we effectuate this transition in a way that doesn't result in a steep cliff at the end of 2014, but rather is a gradual pace that accommodates the developing capacities of the Afghan national security forces."
On other issues, the two leaders said they still hoped that sanctions would drive Iran to abandon its nuclear program, and that they couldn't take military action in Syria in part because they lacked international support from China and Russia.
"We are determined to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. We believe there is still time and space to pursue a diplomatic solution," Obama said. He added, however, that, "the window for solving this issue diplomatically is shrinking."
Cameron's visit was marked by pomp and pageantry, including a state dinner in a tent on the South Lawn of the White House.
At an arrival ceremony earlier Wednesday on the lawn, Obama and Cameron lauded the special relationship between their countries and joked about the time it wasn't as cordial. British troops burned the White House during the War of 1812.
"It's now been 200 years since the British came here, to the White House, under somewhat different circumstances," Obama said to laughter. "They really lit up the place. But we moved on."
"I am a little embarrassed," Cameron responded, "to think that 200 years ago my ancestors tried to burn this place down. Now, looking around me, I can see you've got the place a little better defended today."

Happy Monday everyone!
I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter weekend, and has absolutely stuffed their face with choc! I know I have and I actually am feeling pretty rough today (I don't actually think it's because of all the chocolate). Luckily, I booked tomorrow off work so I could extend this long weekend and I'm so pleased as I am not ready to go back to work at all!
On with the post…..
I did a twitter poll asking if this post would be something people would like to read, and the response was pretty good and it was a yes! Therefore, I thought I'd write this as something for you to maybe relate to, or maybe as a bit of a heads up if you are planning on moving out.
I remember ever since I had got into a serious relationship, one of the first things I ever spoke about was moving out with them and getting a puppy and living happily ever after. Yes, It's exciting, but I'll tell you now, it really isn't what you expect (for me it wasn't anyway). My boyfriend and I lived together at his parents house for a while (Thanks Jane and Jeff!) and this was all dandy because like Mum's and Dad's do, there was dinner on the table every night, our washing was always clean and we had lots of disposable money. All thanks to them!
Reality is, when you move out and you don't have these figures in your life anymore. You have to do it. ALL.
So here are some of what I think are the Pro's and Con's to moving out with a partner, take them as you wish, but I've certainly learnt a lot since July 2016!
- You get to see them most nights and don't have to miss them ALL the time!
- Snuggles, EVERY night without fail
- You do have someone to tickle your back whenever you want it
- If your boy/girl can cook, you can have lovely dinners cooked for you most nights
- If your boy's a DIY babe, anything goes wrong, then you don't have to spend £100's on getting someone in to fix it
- If you're sad/upset and you need someone to talk to ASAP they're there without fail, you haven't got to FaceTime looking like a mess
- You get your own space where you can be silly and do what the hell you want without parents and other people thinking you're weird
- You get to learn about one another and know them inside out
- You love them more each day and can't imagine living without them
- You appreciate how important having your own time to yourself is
- Expect to see boxers on the floor, wherever you go!
- Don't expect any help when you have to put the fresh bedsheets on (they don't like the help)
- You almost get too used to each other and sometimes take them from granted
- Wet bath towels get left on the bed to smell the place out
- The bath does not get cleaned out after use so there are lots of black bits of dirt left to dry on the bottom
- You end up with limited money to go out and do the fun things you use to do, so you have to make use of time doing something thats free/cheap
- You have to sit there and watch/listen to them scroll through Facebook watching video after video
- You may even get moaned at for ALWAYS being on your phone/social media
- If they do a nice gesture (like cook or fix something) they tend to forget to clear up and leave the place looking like a bomb site
- You may argue a little more over the little things in life
- May end up getting slightly fatter as they are always a bad influence (mine is anyway, and he'll probably say the same about me)
- Oh and 'his' toilet is always a disgusting mess (gross)
I could probably sit here and think of 100's more points, but these are some of the main ones that stick out for me anyway. Obviously I know everyone's different and some of you may have angel partners who are just perfect! If so, lucky you, as this shit is hard!
If anyone could think of anything else, let me know, I'd love to hear what you think!
Love, Rebecca

There are certain trees that consistently remain my favorites. When I think about their common characteristics, one thing stands out: the bark. Interesting bark is always there, whether the tree is leafing out, blooming, or showing dramatic fall color. Bark remains constant whether the tree is good, bad, pretty or ugly.

Pigs and Battleships (Shohei Imamura, 1961)
Japanese Title: Buta to Gunkan
Irreverent and unabashedly human, Shohei Imamura's Pigs and Battleships begins with drumrolls that would introduce a rousing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. However, the rendition is never completed and instead mutates into something entirely different; like a tune rendered as an insult rather than as an anthem. The beautiful day-time vista of a coastal town occupied by American forces with the American flag calmly moving against the sea breeze is transformed into the night-time red-light district of that town --- pimps scrambling for horny Yankee servicemen; whores lined up advertising their bare wares; neon-lights adorning these building that house all sorts of men and women.
Clever Kinta (Hiroyuki Nagato) steals one of the servicemen's caps, luring him to a place where whores are selling their bodies without a sideglance on privacy, decency and honor. Sex is haggled, and performed side by side, in double-decker beds, within thin walls that separate a fully-manned kitchen with the dirty bedroom. Kinta escapes the arresting officers, meets up with his girlfriend Haruko (Jitsuko Yoshimura), and talks about a plan to make money by feeding hogs. It seems that the hog industry has become very lucrative, inviting the remnants of an underground gang and Chinese businessmen to fight over the business. In the midst of the shady dealings and several backstabbings, Kinta and Haruko try to rise above the meager future that the American occupation may provide them.
Imamura's film is a biting satire; not a very funny one, but still genuinely affecting. Although the American occupation is barely seen but distinctly felt; it mostly appears as drunken servicemen roaming the red light districts, or visions of lined-up battleships dotting the ports, or the seedy hands of capitalism inching towards the disappearance of culture and norms. Imamura does not hold back in his savage portrayal of the occupation --- its effects are overtly humiliating with Japanese men becoming subservient to the whims, caprices and lusts of these Yankee soldiers, and women being sold as wives for what seems to be a desperate need to rise above the porttown poverty the war has afflicted the citizenry.
However, Imamura doesn't stop there. He also casts Japanese society in a bad light. He puts the spotlight to the honor-less desperation the defeat has brought upon Japan. It is a town wherein mothers and sisters wouldn't be bothered in prostituting their relatives to men they barely know or understand. It is a town wherein the narrow paths to a wealthy future force the men to cheat, swindle, and parasitically rely on other people's weaknesses and poverty. It is a society that can be likened to a pig pen; the citizens forcedly filling the spaces and whatever path opens is rushed upon with lethal abandon, not caring whether a living creature is mangled and stepped upon along the way.
It's uncomfortable as it is enduringly lighthearted. Imamura, through his immature male protagonist and endlessly optimistic female protagonist, bathes the scenes with a comical and oftentimes inconveniently detached atmosphere. He successfully levels the audience's attraction to the characters to a bare minimum; just enough to get us angry when a girl is gang-raped and thenafter punished for stealing some dollars, but not enough for such character inconveniences to overshadow the irreverence and satirical thematics Imamura is forwarding.
The film's climax involving thousands of hogs occupying the redlight district summarizes the entire feature. In one scene wherein a couple of gangsters involuntarily land down the sea of pigs, Imamura comically captures their faces being squeezed against moving hog flesh and is later on joined by another pig's head. It's supposed to be a tragic disaster; one that would cause the abrupt disappearance of the dreams of the female protagonist. However, the climax bursts as a cruel metaphor. The pigs have occupied the town the same way America has occupied Japan. Japanese men die and get mixed up in the stampede of hogs, the same way that the Japanese have strangled each other to gain an upper hand. Lastly, these pigs roam the red light district the same way as Japanese women have roamed the district to seduce an American man into marrying her and thus, salvaging her family. In Imamura's eyes, the world has been reduced into a world of pigs and battleships.

I told you about Theresa, my friend and massage therapist, we have been having massage day twice each month for ten years now. Whenever I have an issue with pain she is my go to person.
|Theresa massage therapist extrodinaire and awesome friend.
Having said that, when we started the Co-op nine years ago I was doing twice the typing I was used to almost overnight. We were about six weeks into the beginning of the new company and my wrists and the back of my fore arms were in terrible pain at the end of the day. I wasn't sure what was going on so naturally I called Theresa, after listening patiently this is what she said.
I needed to start exercising my hands and arms in the morning before work, WHAT? Not active or resistance exercises but stretching exercises. Active exercise, she told me, will continue to shorten the sore muscles while passive stretching will lengthen them. She told me the pain was from tight muscles. As much as I trust her with all my other aches and pains I just wasn't sure she was right on this I really did hurt though and was willing to try exercises.
This is what I did:
Massaged the fore arm with cream to relax the muscles, gently rub up the arm then gently rub down the arm, I did this until the cream was rubbed in.
3X's Pulled each finger gently
Pushed back on each finger to the point of gentle resistance
Pulled to each side
The entire process took three minutes or less. I did this on the way to work while I was stopped at traffic lights and in the evening before bed.
It took four days for the pain to go away. I type way more now than I did when we were first starting out and never have pain anymore. I still do the exercises on the way to work too.
Repetitive movement issues are a result of muscle tissues that have shortened as a result of repetitive movement. These exercises are sort of like yoga for the fingers, allowing the muscles to relax first and then lengthening them.
Was it the beginning of carpel tunnel, I don't know I never needed a diagnosis.

Fall House Tour: The Bar4:00:00 AM
Happy Tuesday! Congratulations on making it through Monday! I hope you enjoyed the start of the house tour. If you missed it, you can check it out here. Continuing on with the tour, I introduce my husband's favorite part, the bar.
Snack Bowl: Pottery Barn | Monogram Decanter: Pottery Barn | Barware: Similar HERE | Mini Pumpkins: Target | Menswear Bird: Target | Bar Towel: Target | Coasters: Pottery Barn |
On the bar, I like to keep decoration relatively light. We have a very rich mahogany bar that beckons for a similar style of accent pieces. I fell in love with the houndstooth and plaid pumpkins this year and the darling menswear bird! I mean who couldn't love this little guy!? The bar towel is a sturdy fabric that is in an appropriate fall color with the most perfect plaid. Literally my definition of perfection. Also, with this bar I was all for metal mixing. The silver coasters look fabulous with the gold bar pieces.
The bar is such a fun place to really amp up the creativity. I love that you can play around with different textures, colors, and metals. I am so head over heels with the way the bar turned out the year. Now to kick our feet up and have a glass of bourbon.
Tomorrow I'll continue the tour! Get excited, because fall is in full swing at the Jeffery's house!

Sad it not only the number but also to my friend's families.
I was having a durian meal at my friend's house, suddenly his brother call him say lets go to Tutong and take a look coz his son kana car accident there. Less than 10 minutes his brother came to pick him up and go. When I balik rumah makan my dinner and I received a message from him. it say" My Bro kid passed away at hospital". My mind jam for few second, I don't know how to make the reply after I see the message. When I tell my wife and sister about the story they both also "Ah....." at the first place!
I let my wife do the reply and I continue the story to them.
Then today I saw the newspaper my friend's nephew is the 39th who die in the road accident this year.
First thing in my mind is I hope he is the last one who die this year. Please everyone drive safely. Especially for those youngster who like to drive fast... Think about the person who love you and your family if every time you want to drive Fast and Furious. Coz you might be the number 40th!!!

When Renton High School, just south of Seattle, began making International Baccalaureate (I.B.) courses the default curriculum for juniors and seniors two years ago, some in the community weren't sure that was a good idea.

Launching the Mentoring Mindsets Initiative
Mentors can play an important role in supporting students' success—whether they are near-peer mentors serving as role models for young students, or trusted adults and community leaders. That's why a number of the U.S. Department of Education's initiatives, including My Brother's Keeper, leverage the power of mentors as key supporters and champions in students' lives [to learn more about how to become a mentor, please click here].
One way that mentors can support students' academic careers is by helping them develop learning mindsets and skills. Although these skills are not a silver bullet for improving public education, they are essential to teaching and learning. Alongside parents and educators, mentors can play a key part in supporting students' resilience, sense of purpose and growth mindsets. When students become frustrated by challenges in the classroom, for example, mentors can help remind them that their minds are like a muscle that grows through effort. And when students feel disconnected from their classrooms, mentors can help them see how what they are learning in school aligns with what they hope to accomplish in life.
Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: How IDEA Public Schools is Closing the Gap
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month and Secretary Duncan's visit to South Texas, today we are highlighting IDEA Public Schools, a Texas-based Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) grantee that's been recognized for helping Latinos, particularly English language learners, make strong achievement gains. Just last month, the White House Initiative on Education Excellence for Hispanics named IDEA a Bright Spot in Hispanic Education.
In 2012, IDEA won a Race to the Top – District (RTT–D) award aimed at personalizing student learning and closing achievement gaps. IDEA is also a past recipient of an Investing in Innovation (i3) grant and grants from OII's Charter Schools Program. IDEA's network serves approximately 24,000 students in 44 public charter schools across Texas. More than 90 percent are Hispanic, and a third are still acquiring English speaking, reading, and writing skills.
For nine consecutive years, 100 percent of IDEA's graduating seniors have been accepted to college, and achievement scores have consistently been above the state's average. We checked in with Tricia Lopez, IDEA's Director of Special Programs, about what's behind the network's success and how the RTT–D grant has been helping the network meet its goals.
In 2010, the U.S. Department of Education launched a new program under the Charter Schools Program (CSP), called the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools program. This competition provides money to help successful public charter schools serve more students. The Department has now invested over $260 million in charter management organization (CMO) grantees working to launch over 500 schools—of which about 250 have already opened—across 20 states. Just this week, we announced the newest cohort of these CMO grants—so it seemed like the right time to explore how a current CMO grantee is helping students succeed. Aspire Public Schools is a two-time grantee under the CMO competition—with demonstrated success in getting students into college.
The Children's Literacy Initiative
In this conversation, Gina Post, a bilingual 2nd-grade teacher at Sumner Elementary School in Camden, N.J. discusses her work with the Children's Literacy Initiative (CLI). CLI is a Philadelphia-based organization that supports teachers focused on early literacy. In 2010, CLI won a $21.7 million Investing in Innovation (i3) Validation grant, and has demonstrated significant impacts on students & teachers. You can learn more about their i3-supported work here.
Q. Can you describe CLI's approach to training?
A. The training was very methodical and hands on. The coaches were very involved. My teaching practice just seemed like it changed overnight for the better. The way it would generally work is my coach would come in and we would have a pre-conference. We would decide what I was going to teach that day and then we would walk through it. My coach also was there during the lesson, and she would model the best practices.
Q. How did CLI change your classroom?
A. It's now very print rich. Everything hanging up was made with my students. When my students come in at the start of the year, the classroom is bare. Every time we put something up, we've created it together or they've created it. They reference what's on the wall when they're doing independent work. Or, I reference routines and procedure. We agree on these as a class community, we write it down, and hang it up during the first weeks of school.
CLI also created a classroom library for me with about 50 new, high-quality, bilingual books. They're beautiful award-winning books, and half are in Spanish. When I came in to my classroom, the teacher before me had retired. I inherited what she had. Also, a lot of the materials we get in urban environments tend to be pre-fabricated books or a part of a set curriculum. They're not individual books like you can find when you go the library or if you want to study an author.
Q. How did CLI change your teaching practice?
A. Before CLI, my writing lessons weren't as explicit. I wasn't as sure how to focus the students' writing. It was much looser. As an example, I didn't do the mini-lessons at the start of a persuasive writing lesson with an explanation of phrases the kids might start with. I also didn't have an anchor chart with sentence starters, which I can use to send the students back to as a reference while they're working. The way it works now with writing assignments is each day I'd add another step and another one and by the end of the four-week unit on opinion writing, seven-year-olds have crafted amazing pieces. Writing was much more of an open-ended activity before. It wasn't explicit.
Q. Can you share a story of success from your classroom that you attribute to this new approach to reading and writing?
A. In the spring, I was reading the book "A Cricket in Times Square" with my students. We worked on it for about a month, and I had them make paper-bag puppets of their favorite character and do an in-depth analysis of the narrative from point of view of their character. When it was time for a share out, they came to the circle with their puppets and took turns sitting in the author's chair. My English language learners, who previously didn't want to speak out loud because they were afraid they'd make mistakes and were afraid they'd be made fun of, started having intelligent conversations out loud about characters in the book. These quiet, shy kids were comparing and contrasting events in the story. They were having this really thoughtful discussion about the book. I was simply there to make sure everything went smoothly. I was just so excited to see that."
When we think of arts education, what comes to mind for many is our students' eye-opening engagement with the world through music, visual arts, or filmmaking. But as we celebrate Arts in Education Week (September 13-19), it's important to remember that those rich artistic experiences couldn't happen without the time, effort, and planning of our nation's dedicated arts teachers.
That's why the U.S. Department of Education recently awarded the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (the Kennedy Center) a $6.5 million grant under its Arts in Education National Program. The Kennedy Center is a national leader in helping schools and teachers offer rich arts education experiences. For more than three decades, the Kennedy Center has partnered with schools in both the D.C. metro area and nationwide to make the arts an integral part of every child's education. Two of the major programs supported by this grant are Changing Education Through the Arts (CETA) and Ensuring the Arts for Any Given Child (AGC).
As Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's Back to School Bus Tour rolls through the Midwest this week, below we take a look at a neighboring Race to the Top – District grantee that is helping kids prepare for success by giving them real world media experience.
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
For most kids, it's a difficult question to answer—the possibilities are almost endless. But students in the Metropolitan School District of Warren Township, Indiana are getting a head start on exploring at least one career path. That's because Warren Township runs an innovative program called Frontrunner Media that gives students hands-on, real-world media experience while they are still in high school. Frontrunner is supported in part by the Office of Innovation and Improvement's Race to the Top – District (RTT–D) program. Below, the program's managers and director discuss how it works.
U.S. Department of Education Announces $25 Million for Science and Literacy-Themed Television and Digital Media
(Sep. 3, 2015) The U.S. Department of Education announced today two grant awards totaling $25 million to Twin Cities Public Television and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for the development of television and multimedia programs that will engage preschool and young elementary school children and their families in science and literacy-themed learning.
The awards, made through the Ready-to-Learn Television program, support the creation of television shows, games, websites and apps for young children and families to play and explore, with a particular focus on science and literacy. The grantees—two award-winning public telecommunications entities—will create digital experiences for children that teach the content and skills needed to succeed in elementary school. Today's awards build upon the successful 2010 Ready-to-Learn competition, which facilitated the launch of the Emmy-award winning show, Peg + Cat.
"Children find inspiration to learn in many parts of their lives, including through exciting multimedia programs like those supported by Ready-to-Learn," said Nadya Chinoy Dabby, assistant deputy secretary for Innovation and Improvement. "Today's investments will support innovative organizations as they create programs and platforms that make learning literacy and science a fun and engaging part of young children's experiences."
Twin Cities Public Television will create and distribute nationally in English and Spanish a new educational program that will include 40 television episodes and 24 interactive games. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), will develop several new educational programs focused on science and literacy, as well as build upon existing successful programs such as The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That and Curious George. They will also launch a series of interactive tools and materials that motivate hands-on active learning. CPB/PBS member stations will manage 30 community collaboratives that will provide community-based outreach programs and engage such partners as libraries, Head Start, and housing authorities.

Becoming a New Leader In New Orleans
[Part 2 of 2 profiles of the U.S. Department of Education's New Orleans grantees, and the difference they are making for children in the city. To see part 1 of this series please click here.]
She didn't start her career thinking that she was going to be a principal, but all of that changed ten years ago this month.
In August 2005, Shimon Ancker was teaching in New Orleans East, a part of the city that was hit particularly hard by the Hurricane Katrina's storm surge. The day before the storm hit, she evacuated to Texas and moved in with her sister, where, at one point, she was among 16 people living in one house. About six months later, she was able to return to the city she called home, although it had been changed forever.
Today, Shimon Ancker is the new principal at the Einstein Charter School extension campus in New Orleans. She is a graduate of the New Leaders program, which in 2009 received a $3.7 million U.S. Department of Education (ED) School Leadership Program grant.
How New Schools for New Orleans Helped the City Come Back
[Part 1 of 2 profiles of the U.S. Department of Education's New Orleans grantees, and the difference they are making for children in the city.]
In the years since Hurricane Katrina, the people of New Orleans have worked hard to rebuild virtually every aspect of their city. Yet few sectors have undergone as much change as the city's educational system. Since 2005, the city has rebuilt how it educates its students.
It's made a real difference in student outcomes—though there is still a great deal more to accomplish. For example, graduation rates are up 19 percentage points since 2005.
This transformation has been led by local educators and innovators. In many cases, their work has been helped by New Schools for New Orleans (NSNO), a U.S. Department of Education grantee.

Make Recitals Easier with Ready-Made Cover Art
It's been a pleasure getting to know Andrea West. She's a piano teacher and a graphic designer who created wonderful cover art for your winter recital programs last year. She's done it again and created marvelous options for your spring recital programs! I'm pleased to be selling them in the Piano Teacher Planning Center. Learn a little more about Andrea and why she creates her designs below. You'll also get a chance to vote for your favorite design and it could go on sale IF you spread the word!
Preparing for recitals and concerts requires more energy and skill sets than most people imagine. Not only do we prepare each child for a successful recital experience, but we have to be master event planners as well. The solution for me has been to outsource those things I cannot do (like tuning the piano) or don't have the time to do (like baking all the recital treats), and to focus on what I do well.
Since I have a lifelong background in the arts, I use that ability to create memorable recital programs for my events.The students have worked unbelievably hard to prepare and present their pieces to the audience, and I want to showcase those pieces in a recital program that parents can take home and put in their child's scrapbook.
Because I love it, I spend much of my free time designing cover art.It starts with a simple idea, and then slowly it evolves into a finished piece.I'm often inspired by a piece of music a student is playing, or something they say about their piece.These designs are all created in 5.5" x 8.5" format that are ideal for putting on the front of a folded program.They insert perfectly into your favorite program like Publisher, a Word document, Pages, or even an Excel spreadsheet. And the best part is, it will save you many hours of work and provide your families with a beautiful recital keepsake.
Take a moment to vote for your favorite design by putting the name of the design in the comments section below. The design with the most votes will go on sale for $.99 from March 17-19, 2017.Voting ends March 15th!
There are TWO pages of designs so make sure to look at them all.

Remember to let us know which is your favorite in the comment section here, or on either program page by March 11th and watch for the sale!

Molly, I am so glad you posted this page about "You've Got Mail". It is my all time favorite movie also. I like it because of the decor in Meg Ryan's apartment, the fact she owns a children's bookshop and loves children's books (I am a former children's book illustrator), and all of the reasons you wrote about too. I never thought about making a journal page about it before. How clever you are. I love your calligraphy on your pages too. Thanks so much for this great blog.ReplyDelete

The Maydays are experts at bringing people into the here and now. Improvisation demands active attention and deep listening. Mindfulness is not always about being at rest – it is just as important to be fully present when our brains are going at full speed. It is an exhilarating space to be in, similar to many yogic practise, it's relaxing, enriching and uplifting. It's also very, very funny.
Far from being a luxury pamper course, this is about reconnecting you to the world around you and building effectiveness as a result.
- Delegates completely focussed, alert with heightened senses
- Deeper connection to the present and to people in the room
- The feeling of having woken up and see the business or relationships in a new light
Maydays Pure Business Improv Training
We give you two trainers per group of 10-20 delegates and deliver an improvisation training session which will draw out mindfulness and presence. We will design a series of improv activities to bring about a state change in how your delegates think and collaborate together.
(2 – 6 hours per session)
Maydays Improv Training Experience
This is our trademark experience which provides you with at least 5 Maydays including an improvisational pianist. We start by showcasing what we do and then offer delegates the chance to get involved themselves. We launch into a fully experiential training sequence to enhance focus and alertness. Watch what happens to people's intuition and ability to interpret situations… For 20 – 70 delegates at time.
(45 mins – 6 hours per session)
Maydays Improv and Show Experience
Easily our most popular format, based on the Maydays Improv Training Experience (above), this ends with your delegates performing alongside The Maydays and inevitably stealing the show. This is a great format to really build confidence. The Maydays help to create a highly memorable moment and in so doing, reinforce your organisation's cultural drive towards greater focus and awareness 20 – 70 delegates at a time.
(45 mins – 6 hours per session)
Interactive Improv Keynote
For larger audiences where it simply isn't logistically possible to deliver improv training in smaller groups, we blend a keynote style address with plenty of experiential learning. This works easily for 1000 delegates and more. We have delivered this format to 6,000 people in a (very big) room. In the context of mindfulness and presence, the interactive improv keynote will get your people thinking, speaking and listening in a new way. The bigger the group, the more spine-tingling and exciting the outcome.
(30 mins – 1 hour)
Conference Improv Energiser
A lively, totally experiential and interactive energiser to get people up and active. We'll select an improv game from our list of around 150 different activities, then lead the energiser to its natural, uplifting, hilarious conclusion. We usually deliver these sessions to up to 1,000 delegates, but there's no actual upper limit.
(5 minutes – 20 minutes)
Your Organisation – The Musical Show
Want to showcase innovation in a creative, unforgettable way? Invite us back for the evening slot, and we'll put on a show like no other. The Maydays will perform a mind-blowing, totally improvised musical show based on a storyline your delegates give us on the night and drawing on the theme of your conference or event. Usually from 100 to 500 delegates.
(10 minutes – 1 hour)
Your own thing
There is nothing we can't do around the subject of improvisation and improvised performance. We can give you a Whose Line Is It Anyway-style show based on audience suggestions, or create a spectacle based on your brochures and publications! Put us to the test with your own ideas, and we'll propose a winning solution.
Delivered with trainee(s) and facilitator(s) together in the same space
Designed just for people from your organisation
Can be delivered worldwide
Contact us to tell us more about your plans and projects. If you have identified a training event already, it would help us to know the date and duration you have in mind, the number of delegates you would like to train and any specific issues you'd like to address. We'll then arrange a Skype or phone call to go through your details and suggest some solutions. If you like what we have to say we'll send you a full written proposal within a couple of days.

Chocolate Audio The Black Album Drums For BFD3 190516
Chocolate Audio The Black Album Drums For BFD3 | 11.4 Gb
The Black Album Drums is a drum library for BFD3 and Kontakt 5.5 (full version) inspired by the drum sound featured on the "Black Album" by Metallica from 1991.
it features the kit played on that record, not just the same model, that exact kit (a 1980 Gretsch with Zildjian cymbals and a Tama Bell Brass snare)
2 snares (we added an extra Ludwig 1970s vintage Black Beauty), dual kicks (L&R), 5 toms, 4 crashes, 1 china and an additional ride cymbal.
We approached the production of this library with an enormous amount of respect and love for the sound we wanted to capture: one of the signature sounds of the history of Rock and Metal music. To this extent, we were lucky to track down a large number of information and material regarding the sessions we were inspired by. Please Enjoy these videos and audio demos describing the features of the library and further info on the recording sessions and see you in a bit, below here.
Enjoy these audio demos: each demo is also presented in a Drums++++ version with the rest of the arrangement mixed very low so you can better enjoy the sound of the library. All demos feature the drums purposely mixed inside the hosting plugin (Kontakt 5.5 on Grinders By Little Dom and Your Time Has Come, BFD 3 on Black Drive and Too Bad To Be Forgiven), hence using only the stock effects available on each supported platform. The only processes applied to the drum sound after it exits the hosting instrument are: a brickwall limiter on the master (Fabfilter Pro-L) and the mp3 encoding.

The History of Rock 'N' Roll in 25 Songs: Bill Haley and the Comets – "Rock Around The Clock"
The History of Rock 'N' Roll is 17 Track's attempt to squeeze more than sixty years of music onto a mixtape.There are many ways to tell a story, and the story of rock 'n' roll is one that has been told many times in many ways. It's messy, complicated and difficult to follow in some parts, and the entire history of it could fill volumes. But what if you didn't have volumes? What if you only had a blank CD-R and you had to tell the story through songs? Each song in this list represents a moment or movement in the development of popular music. It's not a list of the best, most important or most influential songs, it's exactly what it professes to be – a history.
The second song, Bill Haley and the Comet's "Rock Around The Clock," tells the story of rock 'n' roll reaching the mainstream, and the challenges it faced along the way.
Song 2: "Rock Around the Clock"
Bill Haley and the Comets
Writers: Max C. Freedman and James E. Myers
Producer: Milt Gabler
Released: May 20, 1954
"Rock Around The Clock" was a revolutionary song, but explaining that can easily elicit blank stares. To modern ears, the song sounds dated, hokey and quaint. It's not exactly the type of song one can mosh to. But "Rock Around The Clock" was a landmark. It literally started riots.
The song became the first rock 'n' roll record to go No. 1 when it topped Billboard's three main charts the summer of 1955. "Rock Around The Clock" symbolized the beginning of an era, marking the closest thing that resembles a sort of BC/AD split between the pre-rock era of pop crooners and the rise and reign of rock 'n' roll. Listening to it alongside songs that preceded it atop the charts that year – songs like "The Ballad of Davey Crocket" and "Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom White)" – illustrates this perfectly.
For scoring the first big rock 'n' roll hit, Bill Haley and the Comets were unlikely rock stars. By the time the song became a smash, Haley was in his thirties. Pudgy, blind in his left eye and sporting a signature curl in his hair, he lacked the charisma you'd expect from the lead singer of a chart topping band. In fact, the success of "Rock Around The Clock" was largely a fluke. Had Haley and his band not been there to usher in the brave new rock era, someone else with a different song would have sooner or later. The story of "Rock Around The Clock" is a story about being in the right place at the right time.
The phrase rock 'n' roll was still new when the song went No. 1. The words "rockin'" and "rollin'" had been used for years in rhythm and blues songs – sometimes separately, sometimes together and often with a sexual connotation – but the first person credited to using the words together to describe the new emerging genre of music was Cleveland DJ Alan Freed.
Freed began his career spinning classical music, but soon switched to "rock 'n' roll," which he championed on his program, the Moondog Show. The work of Freed and others who promoted rock 'n' roll not only helped the infant genre grow its audience, but it chipped away at the color barrier. Much of the music Freed played was by black artists, and it reached young white ears. Freed also endorsed concert shows – his "rock 'n' roll revues" – where artists performed in front of racially mixed crowds, an uncommon practice at the time.
In 1954, Freed moved to New York station WINS and continued to play rock 'n' roll, but to a much larger audience. His support of black artists drew criticism, however. In 1957, for example, the plug was pulled on a TV show he sponsored after an African-American singer was shown dancing with a white girl. A year later, a fight broke out at one of his concerts in Boston, and he was arrested. In the early '60s, Freed was prosecuted for accepting bribes to play songs, a widespread practice called payola. Although disc jockeys around the country were known to engage in the illegal practice, many who played white singers and bands were not prosecuted, leading some believe Freed's support of black artists made him a target.
Although rock 'n' roll was growing in popularity in the mid-to-late '50s, the resistance disc jockeys like Freed faced, made it obvious that racism was holding it back from gaining widespread acceptance. This provided ample opportunities for white singers and bands to cash in on the craze. It wasn't uncommon for songs originally recorded by black artists to be re-recorded by white artists. The original would be forgotten and the new, sanitized, white version would go on to become a hit.
"Rocket 88″ was one such song to be re-recorded by white artists. Months after Jackie Brenston and His Delta Cats recorded the song in Memphis, Bill Haley and the Saddleman, a country group fronted by the Michigan-born Haley, recorded the song. "Rocket 88″ was a turning point for the group, signed to a small Pennsylvania record label, and they began moving further from their country roots and slipping in more R&B covers into their setlists.
The following year, they covered another song by a black artist, Jimmy Preston's "Rock The Joint," before dropping their cowboy image and swapping the name Saddlemen for the far more exciting Comets. The group's next single was "Crazy, Man, Crazy," a rhythm and blues influenced track written by Haley. The track became their biggest hit yet, rising to No. 12 on the Billboard Juke Box June 1954. The success of the song led to an offer by a much larger record label, Decca Records, which Haley and the Comets accepted.
At Decca, the band worked with producer Milt Gabler, a man with a background in rhythm and blues who was responsible for a string of hits for Louis Jordan, an African-American artist known as "The King of the Jukebox". Gabler's influence further pushed Haley and the Comet's sound further from country to rock 'n' roll. He tripled-miked the drums to make them louder and had session drummer Billy Guesack hit rim-shots on his snare for a heavy backbeat sound.
They spent most of their first recording session working on their first single for Decca, "Thirteen Women (And Only One Man In Town)," and only at the end did they lay down "Rock Around The Clock." Recorded in two takes, "Rock Around The Clock" was relegated to to the B-side.
The single was released May 20, 1954, but was a relative flop, peaking at No. 23 and tumbling down the chart shortly thereafter. "Rock Around The Clock" almost faded away, a forgotten B-side to an unsuccessful single by an upstart band, but it was given a second chance.
In 1955, the producers of the film Blackboard Jungle were in need of a rock 'n' roll song for the opening credits. Set in an inner city school, the movie featured rebellious students prone to fistfights and was intended to serve as a warning of the dangers of the emerging teenage culture. Actor Glenn Ford, who played one of the school's teachers in the film, borrowed his son's record collection in hopes of finding the perfect song, and among the records was Bill Haley and the Comet's "Thirteen Women." The producers chose the single's B-side, and Haley and his band finally got their big break.
Blackboard Jungle incited riots at showings around the globe. From Minneapolis to London, teenagers committed acts of vandalism in theaters, and a 15-year-old John Lennon was disappointed when no riot broke out after a showing in Liverpool. One psychiatrist said that violence incited by rock 'n' roll was a "communicable disease" spread by a "cannibalistic and tribalistic sort of music." A rock 'n' roll rebellion had begun, and "Rock Around The Clock" was its anthem.
Renewed interest in the song led to its re-release. It immediately shot to the top of Billboard's Best Sellers in Stores chart and stayed there for two months. The Most Played by Jockeys and Most Played in Jukeboxes charts came next. The song's success even took the band by surprise.
""We just really didn't realize until it was being played all over the place and we were getting calls from Ed Sullivan," Joey Ambrose, the Comet's saxophonist, told CNN in 2005.
Before "Rock Around The Clock" fell from the top slot, Chuck Berry's "Maybellene" reached the top ten, and other rock 'n' roll songs were to soon to follow. It was as if the floodgates had opened. But rock's cultural dominance still wasn't assured. As rock 'n' roll grew louder, so did its critics, and a telling sign of the uphill battle it faced came in the form of the song that replace "Rock Around The Clock" at No. 1, "The Yellow Rose of Texas" by Mitch Miller.
Although the band had some minor hits with follow-up singles like a cover of Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and "See You Later, Alligator," they failed to match the success of "Rock Around The Clock." Before long, a new crop of rock stars oozing sex and celebrity in a way Haley and the Comets couldn't overtook the attention of rock 'n' roll fans.

A funding crisis could lead to the closure of community pharmacies across Northern Ireland, a top chemist has warned.
Chief Executive of Community Pharmacy NI, Gerard Greene said the level of anger at the Department of Health is 'at boiling point'.
Mr Greene, from Lurgan, said there is a real threat to this vital health service which he said would have 'a negative and damaging impact to most vulnerable in society'.
A spokesperson for Community Pharmacy NI said: "A meeting was called in direct response to the fragile position the sector finds itself after five months of campaigning and engagement has failed to bring any certainty or clarity for the future.
"The cost of providing community pharmacy services is currently under-funded "by at least £20 m" and around 90% of pharmacist respondents to a recent CPNI survey feeling the "current funding situation is having an impact on their own health and wellbeing".
Mr Greene said: "The level of anger being directed towards the Department of Health is at boiling point. The contractors that we represent are adamant that this stand-off cannot continue."
"They are at breaking point as the realities of managing their businesses on a day to day basis, whilst serving patients and customers, is causing severe strain."
"The cost of providing the community pharmacy service is hugely underfunded due to a shortfall in what the Department of Health is willing to allocate, and the cost of keeping community pharmacies open. Some contractors have told us that they are ready to go out of business. This is unacceptable and must be urgently addressed.
"We are calling for clear and fair remuneration and reimbursement so that investment can take place to meet safety, quality and efficacy requirements. At present that just does not exist."
One leading Community Pharmacist, Paul Savage from Belfast added: "Consistent underfunding means that myself and my community pharmacy colleagues everywhere cannot afford to keep normal stocks of medicines which shows how grave the situation is."
"It is completely unacceptable and unjust that we have been forced to subsidise the provision of an essential healthcare service due to this lack of funding."
"The year on year increase in workload of community pharmacists' means that we have still to undertake a combination of core dispensing, over the counter medicine supply and advice, wider community pharmacy services and employ a skilled workforce at the same time as the level of funding from government has, in real terms decreased."
