Last week, we were all able to say goodbye to Miss Sue Le Mière after 35 years at JCG.
She presented an assembly about her life in education on Tuesday. On Friday evening many of her teaching colleagues (past and present) gathered at Durrell, together with some former students, to celebrate Miss Le Mière's career and wish her well. Have a fantastic retirement Miss Le Mière!

Partisan bickering has become both vicious and commonplace throughout the entire the U.S. political system, so many expected fireworks at last Wednesday's debate. However, it was decidedly tame: what happened? In a two-party system, both Democrats and Republicans can count on their base to support them. That, of course, leaves a desperate fight for the center: the Independent. The fight for Independents is essential, but it causes the parties to tone down the rhetoric and promises that shore up their own base since this could turn off an undecided voter. Republican nominee Mitt Romney pulled off the switch, President Obama could not. Many pundits agreed that former Governor Romney won the debate, while Democrats felt that Romney had openly lied about his tax plans and stances on many issues. However, it would appear that Romney might have gone back to his days as Massachusetts governor. Let's not forget, this is the same Mitt Romney who laid the groundwork for "Obamacare," whether he likes to admit it or not. In fact, he took plenty of heat for his similarities to President Obama throughout the Republican nomination contest. One easy lens through which to look at the debate is to say that Romney lied. However, it seems that Romney reverted back to his old self, the Republican moderate. It appears that Romney may have become more right-wing to win the Republican nomination and stir up his base. This leaves many wondering who the genuine Mitt Romney is. President Obama wasn't as successful in his attempt to appeal to the center. He avoided hitting Romney hard on his campaign blunders, including his 47 percent comment, which angered his base. However, this could have been a deliberate strategy to win the moderate voter. Obama did choose his words carefully, albeit too carefully. He appeared aloof and unengaged. He tried to tow the line too much, which not only offended Democrats, but did not hit a chord with the average undecided voter. This became more poignant when Obama finally attacked Romney from a Democratic rally the next day. He saved his words nationally, but attacked when it would have the effect of raising Democrat morale. Romney and Obama both seemed eerily similar on the middle class. And that's the nature of the game. Both wanted to appear to represent that large segment of the electorate. Both parties promised lower taxes for the middle class. Both parties offered similar responses on Social Security. In fact, the president said, "I suspect that on Social Security we've got somewhat similar views." Does that sound as if the president is trying to distance himself from the Republicans? Yes, both parties have fundamental differences, but those will be saved for the attack ads. Expect a moderate tone from both President Obama and former Governor Romney for the rest of the debates. Neither of them can afford to become too partisan. They simply can't tow the Republican and Democrat lines and expect any support from that crucial undecided voter. It's the same reasoning that causes most American states to be ignored throughout the election build-up. They're safe votes. That's why the debate turned out the way it did. It's the nature of the system.

Germany's investors are getting more and more bearish about the country's economic situation, and Europe as a whole.
The ZEW index of investor confidence in the Eurozone dropped to 14.2 this morning, and the German reading slumped to 6.9. Both are the lowest since 2012, as growth and inflation in the region drop to almost nothing.
The ZEW survey asks investors questions about how strong they think the Eurozone and German economies are now, and how strong they expect them to be in several months' time, gauging their confidence. A good ZEW number is as high as possible — but both these scores are barely above zero.
Jennifer McKeown of Capital Economics said the survey adds to the pile of evidence "that the German recovery is petering out," according to a note to investors.
"The fact that the index is barely positive means that only a small majority of investors see German economic conditions improving in the next six months."
The country saw a surprise GDP contraction in the second quarter, with a drop of 0.2%, and the threat of further sanctions on or from Russia is another major factor adding to the grim outlook for Germany and Europe.

After a long, cold, wet December troubled by flu, I now have a cover for The Bakarian Rebellion. I have kept it simple, and will, after one more read through, be publishing the book on or near the 2nd February through Smashwords and Amazon.
I am making good progress in the editing and reviewing of the first book in my Fantasy series, The Chronicles of Ferantiana Volume 1, The Sorcerers of Argorilium, despite having focused most of my time on The Bakarian Rebellion, and writing the first draft of Running With the Tiger. How much time I spend on each project depends on the time of day or week (when not in work), whether I have had a mentally demanding day on the computer in work, and how tired or inspired I am.

Three Software Engineering students from UTAR won the judges' hearts with their "Time Table Arranging Program" that makes timetable preparation less hassle for university students.
Wong Jia Hau, Dheenodhara Rao and Seah Sheng Hong are the three minds behind the winning program that will represent Malaysia in KOSEN PROCON from 27 to 28 October 2018 at Tokushima City, Japan. The Software Programming Innovation Competition (PROCOM) 2018 was held at Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) at Cyberjaya from 2 to 3 August 2018. It saw 13 higher education institutions going head to head with their software programs to impress the judges from industry and academicians.
Chinese Weekly, the organiser of PROCOM, was authorised by Nourishment Association for Programming Contest KOSEN (NAPROCK) to organise software programming competitions in Malaysia based on Japan Technical College Programming Contest or KOSEN PROCON module. The competition has been taking place annually in Japan ever since 1990. It was jointly organised by NAPROCK and Technical College Association, Japan.
The competition will see 57 participants from various Japan technical colleges. The competition has proven to be an effective method to nurture innovative talents for the industry in Japan for several decades. PROCOM 2018 is also in support of the national agenda, Science to Action, which aims to promote Science and Technology, so that Malaysia will be able to sustain its growth beyond 2020.
"This program has been employed by many students in UTAR. It took us six months to develop the program. We are truly grateful to receive the full support from our lecturer Ts Dr Madhavan Balan Nair. As a preparation to face the competitors from Japan, who are very experienced in the software industry, we are planning to upgrade the website by taking into account the users' feedback," said Wong in an interview with the Sinar Harian. The program they developed is unique because it gives students all possible time slot combinations, including time constraint before they do the actual bidding.

It was one of the hottest days of that summer. In the morning we arrived to Manuela and Alessandro's houses with the first drops of sweat on our foreheads. Yet, despite the heat which troubled everyone throughout the day, it was a perfect wedding in the city centre of historic Arezzo.
After getting ready in their homes, Alessandro picked Manuela up in a legendary old red Fiat 500 and drove her to the municipal office in the heart of old town. The civil ceremony was conducted by their dear friend and witnessed by close family and friends. Tears of emotion were rolling down the groom's cheeks, soft harp music was playing in the background and guests were happily cheering the union.
The ceremony ended at 1 pm, the peak hour of Italian sun, and Manuela and Alessandro lead their guests to a restaurant located on Arezzo's gorgeous Piazza Grande 5-minute walk away. The lunch couldn't be held in a better place. It was outdoors, under historic arcades, with a fine view of medieval architecture. The square is one of the sites where "Life is beautiful" was filmed by Bennini. In fact, documenting Manuela and Alessandro's wedding felt like being on a movie set.

Ryan Giggs expressed his concern that Manchester City will win the quadruple this season but insists Pep Guardiola's side will need a fair smattering of luck to get over the line on four fronts.
The Wales manager – who spent his playing career with City's bitter rivals Manchester United – begrudgingly revealed his admiration for United's noisy neighbours who are on course for a historic four-title haul.
City received a huge slice of luck as they fought back from 2-0 down to beat Swansea 2-0 on Saturday, with a disputed penalty and an offside winner helping them on their way to the FA Cup semi-finals.
Guardiola's men received even better news just a day later as United crashed out of the competition leaving unfancied Wolverhampton Wanderers, Brighton and Hove Albion and Watford left in the draw.
With the League Cup trophy already secured, City are neck-and-neck in the Premier League title race with Liverpool and are into the Champions League quarter-finals – where they face Tottenham Hotspur – and there is a genuine feeling they could capture four trophies this season.
It would eclipse United's famous 1998/99 treble. Giggs was a part of that famous Sir Alex Ferguson side that won the Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League but he's concerned their rivals will go one step further.
When asked about their chances of doing the quadruple ahead of Wales' clash with Trinidad and Tobago, he smiled: 'I've got enough to worry about, please don't bring that up!
'City are a fantastic team, aren't they. They've already got one and United going out of the FA Cup makes it a bit easier for them.
'But they've got a long way to go. Just like us in the Treble you need a lot of things to go for you, that bit of luck, which they had at the weekend. It will be interesting to see what they can achieve.'

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds announce new album
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have announced their sixteenth studio album, Skeleton Tree, to be released on 9 September 2016.
This follows the Bad Seeds' 2013 offering Push the Sky Away.
Skeleton Tree began in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in autumn 2015.
The first opportunity anyone will have to hear any of the songs from the album will be to watch One More Time With Feeling, directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly). The film will screen in cinemas across the world on 8 September 2016, immediately prior to the release of Skeleton Tree the following day.
Originally a performance based concept, One More Time With Feeling evolved into something more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds' filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave's intermittent narration and improvised rumination.

Thanks for following this 3 part series. Shin splints tend to be hard to shake but let's cover several ways to prevent and manage this frustrating issue. Keep in mind that piercing pain directly on the bones of the lower leg or numbness/tingling/loss of sensation in the lower leg or foot should be looked at by an MD. Shown in the video are 3 strategies to add strengthening to you shin splint pain management and prevention plan:
1. Up-2/Down-1 Heel Raise: This exercise targets strength of the calf/achilles complex. Raise up on your heels with both feet and the lower down on 1 foot. Shoot for 1-3 sets of 5-12 repetitions.
2. Pogo Drill: This exercise targets the achilles/calf complex and it's ability to absorb/produce acceleration or deceleration forces. Avoid allowing the heels to touch the ground. Shoot for 1-3 sets of 15-30 repetitions.
1 MORE POINT: You need to compliment these shin splint pain prevention and management strategies with squats, deadlifts, lunges and hip thrusts if you want the results to stick. This will prepare your big hip muscles to do their job.

Memo to affiliate clubs: the memorabilia from last season your own fans wouldn't buy? Someone on eBay might love it…especially if it's a player who wound up helping win a World Series.
The percentage of players who pass through minor league cities on their way to the big leagues may be small, but those who get to the Majors and become "the next big thing" are often hot commodities for collectors.
The Portland Sea Dogs, AAA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, found out how popular some of their former players were when they took some leftovers to eBay this fall.
Limited quantities combined with a little speculation and adoration meant a nice little profit.

An agreement has been reached between Arriva, ProRail and the Province of Groningen to trial the use of automatic train operation (ATO) Grade of Automation (GoA) 2 in the Netherlands.
The test will take place on the Groningen-Zuidhorn route on an empty semi-automated passenger train. No date was given as to when the trial will take place.
Trains equipped with ATO can run closer together, which increases capacity, and also consume less energy because they run more evenly and have to make fewer stops.

There are four levels of GoA:
- The operator drives and is supported by security and advice systems;
- A machine operates, but the driver remains responsible;
- The operator does not have to sit in the chair and can fulfill other tasks;
- There is no staff present on the train.
ProRail said that it will be sharing any knowledge acquired from the trial with all the involved parties.
The agreement was reached on March 9.

It should be pretty clear by now, that I'm more than a little into biking. I can specifically remember my first ride on a bike. It happened at Grandma's house on a bike I just received for Christmas, with no training wheels. My mom gave me a push to get me started, and I've been pedaling ever since. Since then, I've owned all sorts of bikes: downhill, cross country, dirt jump, cruiser, commuter, enduro: with one distinct category missing: road bikes. I've just never been able to get excited about throwing on Lycra and pounding out miles and miles of pavement. So when I was asked what Niner bike I would prefer for my upcoming bike fish trip, it was hard for me not to choose a mountain bike. I couldn't be happier that I went against my tendancies and selected the Niner RLT road-ish bike.
When it came time to specify what WTB tires I'd like on the new bike, I found it hard not to revert to my mountain bike past. The obvious choice was the WTB Nano 40s: the fattest and knobbiest tires that would fit in the frame. While I can't say enough good things about the tires and wheels that came on the bike, when the Road Plus system was announced, I couldn't resist. Before long, a shiny pair of Frequency i23 rims and Horizon Road Plus tires were delivered by the UPSanta.
The premise behind the Road Plus system is using a smaller diameter rim (650b) in conjunction with a fatter than normal tire (47c) to achieve a similar overall diameter (rim+tire) as the 700x30c tires the bike was designed for. The result allows you to run a fatter than normal tire in your bike giving you more traction, flotation, and comfort: win, win, win. Clear as mud?
For hubs, I opted for a Sram 900 rear and took a risk with the Shutter Precision Dynamo front hub. More on that later...
Once I was in possession of the proper-sized spokes, the lace up was straightforward. Even though I call my self a professional mechanic, the opportunity to build and tension wheels comes rarely. When that chance arises, I revel in the task. There is nothing more satisfying than starting with a fresh set of spokes, rims, and tires; lacing, tensioning, and truing up a wheel, and riding your perfectly round creation down the trail. I'm proud to admit, that this wheelset went together smoother than most: minimal stress while truing resulting in circular perfection.
"But how do they ride, Brian?"
Thank you for asking. They ride like a boss of course.
Here are some initial thoughts about the Horizons
- The first thing anyone notices about the Horizons is their appearance. The tan gum wall stands out in a way that I love, both classic and modern at the same time. On top of killer looks, the sidewalls are supple which bend, flex, and conform to the road surface adding to the soft ride already achieved by lower air pressures.
- Second noticed is the width. Dyed in the wool roadies will scoff at the size of these puppies. Let them scoff. The added width of the Horizons provide a noticeably softer, more comfortable ride. I've been running around 35-45 psi for commuting and mixed surface road rides. Fear no pothole.
- Surprisingly good off road traction. I was a little dubious at first about the off-road capabilities of the subtle herringbone tread pattern, but have been impressed by how well they do in gravel and dirt. While you'll never have as much high speed cornering confidence with the Horizons as something like the Nano 40s, I'm totally happy with their grip and float through both loose and packed gravel/dirt.
- On road rollability: Fast and smooth.
- Tubeless compatibility. I've said it before: WTB tires are the easiest to set up tubeless. No drama, so swearing, no trouble seating the bead. A floor pump was all I needed. No flats to date.
Ideal uses for the Road Plus system
- Mixed surface road rides
- Gravel grinders
- Commuting
- Touring
- Insulting roadies by pacing them while using fat tires (no Lycra required)
My typical pre-work ride/commute with the Horizons:
- 2 miles of pavement through city roads
- 5 miles of "Wyoming Cobbles" (see picture below)
- 6 miles of abandoned gravel/two track
- 8 miles of highway and city roads to work by 10:00
I love the way the Horizons transition between all different types of road surfaces without missing a beat. They eat up cobbles, devours gravel, all while keeping up with traffic on the stretch of pavement back home. Gravel traction is more than adequate for dedicated grinder rides and offer flotation when the going gets loose. Don't be put off by the apparent lack of tread for gravel riding. Trust me. Additionally, I feel no added resistance on paved surfaces. For more info and frame fit inquires, check out the WTB Road Plus page.
Long Term Update
After a year over 2,000 miles on these tires, I can't say enough good things about these tires. I ran the Horizons on my winter BikeFishing trip from Canada to Mexico. The added volume floated over occasional loose dirt/gravel, provided a comfortable squish over debris, and the TCS (tubeless compatible system) lived up to its name, never going flat! That's right, I pedaled from Canada to Mexico without ever installing a tube. WTB Horizon for the win!

Winning Forex: the 100k Challenge
August 19, 2010 by
Filed under Forex Trading Market
It wasn't easy but we did it, $1k to $100k on both demo and live accounts. Let's take a moment to celebrate and then get down to business. There, was that long enough? Ok.
Why did some people make it and other give up or just painfully failed? I have narrowed it down to several reasons. Hopefully you will be able to take these lessons away from this article and impliment them into your own trading.
1. Trading more then 1% a trade.
Seems a little weird that the people who eventually made the $100k only risked a max of 1% of their capital in any given trade? Well thats what everyone who made it did. Trading this amount of capital keeps you in the game if you eventually run into a losing streak on the market. This is a vital piece of information to remember. Even though your profits will be lower then a person who risks, say, 10% a trade, your long term ability to stay in the game is far greater then the 10% trader.
2. Trading more then 3 major currency pairs at a time.
There is no way getting around it, Forex can sometimes be a risky and volitile market. Information saturates the internet about every major currency pair. Keeping track of more then 3 currency pairs will often leave the trader in paralysis of analysis. Personally i only trade 2 majors and keep up to date on those. Being a master of 2 currency pairs is far better then being a jack of all pairs and a master of none.
3. Being lazy and not constantly learning.
People change, and markets based on people change with them. Forex changes all the time, what is a favoured currency, what isn't favoured can change week to week. My point here is not to only trade the news, my point is that the people who succceeded in making the $100k were always shaprpening their skills. This market can make you filthy rich so why wouldnt you spend the time learning all you can about it? I can never understand new traders who read a few books on Forex and think that their learning is finished. If you want to make money off Forex remember this, the cost of trading forex is Capital and Learning.
4. Only focusing on one time frame.
Last but not least here is something we probably all did as new traders. But the sooner you kick this habit the better off you will be. Let me give you an example. If a daily chart is showing an upward trend reversal, but on a 1 minute chart it is showing a strong start to an upward trend, if you are only focusing on the 1 minute chart you are going to lose a lot of chedder. My point here is simple, keep an eye on the overall picture at all times. Use 2 -3 different time period charts for a big picture and then use 1 to make your trading decision.
Remember the Forex market does not play favorites. Learn to trade smarter and the profits will follow.
No other market in the world offers the potential for profit like FOREX. . So just how long will you wait until you make the decision to join this $3 Trillion daily market?
Start laying the foundation to your financial empire right now! Free resources, free education, and free forex accounts are right here.

Top Rated Chandler Home Security Company Introduces Discount on Homeowner's Insurance Certificate for All their Customers
(PRWEB) July 09, 2012
Chandler home security customers purchasing their domestic surveillance plan from Elite Security Services are now entitled to receive a fabulous discount on their homeowner's insurance. The company is one of the most talked about security companies throughout the United States for their surveillance plans that are priced economically to suit the budget of a common man. Their efficient home protection plans provide all the latest innovations in the industry in spite of their competitive price range. Elite Security Services also offers excellent added benefits to enhance customer delight. The discount offer on homeowner's insurance is valid for all security plans from the company.
Chandler home security industry is a rapidly expanding industry with several big players. Most of these companies come up with special promotions for their customers from time to time. However, a 20% discount on homeowner's insurance is certainly more lucrative than most of those offers. Homeowner's insurance is a mandatory requirement throughout the United States for anyone applying for a mortgage loan. These policies provide protection to private homes by offering insurance cover against loss of any personal property belonging to the policy holder. The introduction of this discount is expected to help Elite Security Services to reach out to more homeowners in Chandler and its surrounding areas.
While announcing this discount in Chandler, the owner of Elite Security Services, Mr. Paul Shakuri said, "Homeowner's insurance is required for all homeowners and 20% discount on this policy can mean substantial savings for most of us. We are extremely happy to offer this benefit to all of you in Chandler". Company sources have revealed that many similar special offers would be announced very soon by the company. Chandler home security customers have welcomed the introduction of this discount scheme by Elite Security Services.
About the Company: Elite Security Services is a rapidly growing company in the home security industry. They offer highly efficient and economical home security solutions in America and Canada.

Lindsey & Stevie - New York Post (06.24.1997)
"When you have two couples, whether they're still together or not, in a band, it's dramatic. It's tense," says Nicks. "I was talking to Don Henley a couple of weeks ago and I said, "Well, you know you were never in love with Glenn Frey or Joe Walsh. It's different.'"
While it's been 20 years since Buckingham and Nicks broke up, the two are only now putting their past behind them.
Before their recent reunion, "I had issues about Stevie that hadn't been resolved," says Buckingham. "We had broken up in '77 and I left the band in '87. You'd think, 10 years -- get on with it, buddy."
But because the two continued to work together for so long after their split, "rather than try to confront each other and resolve anything, I think we just went, "OK, we'll just let it go," says Nicks.
Adds Buckingham: "Much of the Fleetwood Mac dynamic was an exercise in denial in order to get through it. Now those things have been dealt with so I can appreciate Stevie and feel warm things for her without any of that other stuff."
The legendary tension between Nicks and Buckingham truly seems to be a thing of the past.
Sitting together in a small hotel conference room recently just after a large press conference, the two seem so in synch with one another that another kind of Fleetwood Mac reunion -- a romantic one between Nicks and Buckingham -- almost seems feasible.
Nicks laughs gently at that notion. "Maybe when Lindsey and I are 60 years old, we'll look around and we'll say, "You know what, there just isn't anybody better around. Maybe we'll just get married or something,'" she says. " Lindsey and I ... are becoming really good friends again. It's real nice. I don't think we were all that good of friends before."

On a blisteringly hot day 25 Brue Valley members and friends assisted at the Sherborne Classic & Supercars Show doing all manner of tasks from running a Members Marquee, where guests were treated to a view of the showground whilst relaxing with their tea and coffee, to collecting waste at regular intervals throughout the day. We manned entry gates, car parks, the information tent and had the excitement of holding ropes to allow parades of spectacular vehicles to pass.
There were over 2000 vehicle exhibits on show including over 500 'on the day' classics which just turned up to visit the show. Other visitors arrived early, and left early, some because of the heat and others to watch football or tennis with which we were competing!
Taking breaks in the rest area didn't always keep us out of the sun and shade was sought wherever needed………………………. well done Brue Valley, here's hoping we have helped to raise a significant amount for the supported charities !

Singles (aka non-married individuals) often procrastinate about estate planning. If you are one of my friends or colleagues who fall into this category here is a brief summary of who will inherit your assets should something happen to you. By taking the mystery out of what happens I am hoping to alleviate some of the worry and maybe even encourage some proactivity in this regard.
Colorado's intestacy rules are similar to the rules found in other states but don't provide for inheritances by remote relatives, such as distant cousins. State laws set the inheritance rules for the estate of a person who died intestate; however, these rules don't take the financial needs of his heirs into consideration.
If a non-married individual dies with children, their children inherit their estate. If a non-married individual dies with no children then surviving parents inherit his/her entire estate. If both parents are dead, the estate goes to the parents' surviving descendants: for example, the siblings of the deceased person. Surviving grandparents may inherit the estate if the parents have no surviving descendants. If both grandparents are dead, their surviving descendants inherit the estate. In cases where the deceased person's parents and grandparents left no surviving descendants, the estate may go to the state of Colorado.
Colorado's laws allow inheritances by a birth parent who adopted out the deceased person or any birth children the deceased person put up for adoption, but only to prevent the estate from going to Colorado because of a lack of heirs.
Not all property is subject to Colorado intestacy rules, some of it if properly designated/titled can pass out of these intestate rules. Money from retirement accounts, such as 401(k) accounts, and insurance plans go to the person named as the beneficiary on the account or plan paperwork. Property owned with another person as a joint tenant —the family home, for example—belongs to the surviving owner. Any property transferred to a living trust belongs to the trust and isn't subject to intestacy laws. Bank accounts that have another person designated to receive the funds if the account holder dies—known as "payable on death" accounts—pass to that designated person.

'Pregnancy and maternity discrimination whilst studying is a big problem' writes Helen Bryce
Pregnant whilst in education:
On our very first meeting as a Young Mums Collective it became apparent there was something huge missing from current conversations around motherhood under the age of 25. Pregnancy and maternity discrimination whilst studying is a big problem.
The stories we heard were shocking; from women being told they would have to just abandon their course through to a Mum being asked to enter via the back of the building rather than through the usual front entrance.
The fact is your school, college or higher education institution must not discriminate against you because you are pregnant, have a baby who is 26 weeks or under or are breastfeeding. Basically this means that they cannot treat you worse than they would someone else because of these characteristics. This might include something like making a decision on admission through to applying a rule or way of doing things that means it has a worse impact on you than others without it.
Within the workplace you have rights around antenatal appointments and maternity leave (see our videos on Knowing your Legal Rights for more info) and although this isn't exactly the same whilst studying (you have no freestanding rights to these things) they could still be linked if you feel that you are being treated 'unfavourably' due to requiring time off.
Below is a really excellent guide to knowing your rights and also how to work in conjunction with your school or university to ensure that your needs are met during this period. There is lots of good advice on the kind of support you should expect, what kind of adjustments would be reasonable and the responsibilities your education institution has towards you. It is also a great guide for you to actually print out and talk through with your teacher or tutor. This might be the first time they have had to support someone who is pregnant so having some guidance may well be greatly appreciated:
Having spoken to a barrister who specialises in education cases it's clear that there is very little case law available on this. Which basically means that there haven't been many (if any) cases brought to court against Universities or schools based on pregnancy or maternity discrimination.
We believe there are probably many reasons for this from a lack of knowledge on legal rights through to the court fees involved and the confidence to challenge an institution during a time which we know is really full on (for many of us just getting through the day is a test never mind raising a legal claim).
However, we know this is happening so want women to know they can speak up and have a place to come for support.
The best place to start if you feel you have been a victim of discrimination is to make a formal complaint. Your education institute should have a procedure to follow for this and of course avoiding legal action is often in everyone's best interests. Find out what you need to do, put something in writing and be open and honest about the situation.
Do know however that if things don't change, the issues aren't resolved or you feel that things have already gone too far you are legally protected. You can make a claim under the Equality Act so get some further advice.
Pregnant then Screwed has a free legal advice line, which doesn't just support those with workplace based discrimination cases but anyone who feels they are facing pregnancy or maternity discrimination. The details are below:

Eurokars Group's New Flagship Facility to Boost Customer Experience
Revamped showroom is home to three marquees – Porsche, Rolls-Royce and MINI
After two years of extensive renovations, multi-brand car dealer Eurokars Group's new flagship facility located on 27/29 Leng Kee Road has officially opened its doors.
Built to the tune of S$42 million, the Eurokars City Centre is the newest and tallest showroom along the prime Leng Kee auto belt. The six-storey facility houses three premium automobile brands—Porsche, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and MINI under one roof.
Mr Karsono Kwee, Executive Chairman of Eurokars Group, said that the revamp will provide luxury car enthusiasts a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
"The Eurokars Group's brand promise has always been to deliver the finest purchase and ownership experience for our customers. No expense was spared in creating a luxurious environment for our customers. Our sizeable investment in the new Eurokars City Centre is a timely demonstration of our commitment to the brands we represent and also to our valued customers. With the new Eurokars City Centre, we hope to further cement our reputation as the provider of premium automobiles here in Singapore," said Mr Kwee.
Enhanced state-of-the-art customer experience at Eurokars City Centre
Keeping pace with the growing role of technology in enhancing its customers' shopping and ownership experience, Eurokars Group will be rolling out a couple of technology-centric initiatives in line with the new facility's opening. For a start, Porsche will be the first automotive brand in Singapore to partner with Google for its Business Photos project, presenting a comprehensive view of the new showroom interiors to the public. Anyone searching for Porsche Centre Singapore on Google Maps will be able to take a virtual tour inside the building with the Google Business Photos.
Additionally, a Eurokars Group application will be available on the iOS platform beginning 22 March 2013. The app will allow customers to find out more about news and happenings from Eurokars Group, and it will progressively be updated to allow customers to pre-book their car servicing appointments and receive up-to-date notifications about their car's specifications, among other things.
Customers can also look forward to a larger and state-of-the-art After-Sales department, serviced by the largest car elevators in Singapore, to accommodate the six metre long Rolls-Royce. More importantly, waiting time for service and repair sessions will be shortened, which will help enhance the overall ownership experience and customer satisfaction.
One of the key highlights of the new Eurokars City Centre is the exclusive Customer Lounge on level two. Furnished in inviting shades of soft gold, warm beige and antique white, the lounge welcomes you with a warm and exclusive atmosphere immediately upon entrance. The lounge also features a full-service indoor bar and complimentary wi-fi, all designed with customer enjoyment in mind. A social event space that is adjacent to an outdoor patio area on the third floor is the perfect space for future showroom events and exclusive customer gatherings.
When evening arrives, the Eurokars City Centre will gleam and sparkle with the help of an avant-garde LED light façade, lending a futuristic and creative vibe to the building's exterior. Not to be outdone by its stylish exterior, the facility's interior is equally outstanding, and much thought was put in ensuring a seamless transition among the distinctly different Porsche, Rolls-Royce and MINI showrooms in the 76,000 square feet complex.
Distinctive showroom facilities for Porsche, Rolls-Royce and MINI
The new Eurokars City Centre features two expanded showrooms for Porsche and Rolls-Royce. Located on level one, Porsche Centre Singapore will now have the capacity to display eight cars, twice as many as the previous showroom. Porsche enthusiasts can also look forward to a more extensive range of merchandise from a brand new Driver's Selection by Porsche Design store area on the mezzanine level. The lifestyle collection features everything from apparel, watches, and accessories to miniature Porsche model cars. The new showroom is also equipped with two Porsche Car Configuration rooms—one on the first floor and another on the mezzanine level—where customers can personalize their very own Porsches.
The brand new two-storey Rolls-Royce showroom is the largest in Southeast Asia. 2013 also marks the tenth year of Rolls-Royce in Singapore under the Eurokars Group dealership. To commemorate this milestone, a special Singapore edition of the Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase will be exclusively commissioned. Customers of this prestigious marque can look forward to spending time detailing bespoke requirements for their cars in the tranquil and exclusive Rolls-Royce personalisation lounge. Two enormous car lifts—the largest in Singapore—ensure that even the longest six-metre Rolls-Royce Phantom can be transported with ease within the building.
The refreshed MINI Habitat can now display up to seven exciting MINI models at any one time. MINI lovers can also look forward to shopping at the dedicated MINI Lifestyle retail area on level one. Level two will contain a display area devoted to the flagship MINI John Cooper Works range. Dedicated iPad stands are positioned next to each car display, and customers can readily obtain more information about each car.

It was only one mile but I ran. What got me out there? My good friend, Emily, was running the MCM. Something I wish I could've done with her but the timing of Hannah threw the monkey wrench in that. Well after texting her all throughout the mileage…I got a text "2 miles left!!!". I decided that even though I'm not "with" her I can run with her. I blew the dust off the treadmill and did it.
Ran a mile…a 15 minute mile but a mile no less! My friend who got me out of the house a year ago to start my journey was running 26.2…the least I could do is stop procrastinating! And I'd say this is pretty darn good after taking off 12 weeks!!!

Small Church, Big Footprint – CMN Women
Small Church, Big Footprint
by Karen Thompson Blandino
"God has not called me to be successful; He has called me to be faithful." –Mother Teresa
About five years ago my husband and I made the decision to say "yes" to God's call to plant a church in the cultural arts district of Fort Worth. The last five years have produced a myriad of celebrations, uncertainties, and emotions.
Some seasons have been phenomenal as we experienced growth and excitement as new believers made 7 City their home church.
Other seasons have been less than exciting.
Although we expect, and maybe even plan for, difficult seasons, slow growth can still take an emotional toll on planters. Looking at social media can escalate slightly negative emotions into irrational thinking: "Oh great, every church in America is growing except mine!" Friends who like to "inquire" about attendance and then offer their unsolicited advice can also add to the strain. Stagnant numbers can wear planters out.
During an attendance slump, I was sharing (maybe complaining) with a friend about our numbers. Her response to me was so beautiful:
"We can have a small, impactful, healthy church that does more for the Kingdom than a giant mega-church. We have got to stop buying into the lie that growth is about numbers of people. I've said it before. I think our church is a training ground for people at a particular point in their life. Our job is to train them to influence culture."
I really appreciated her willingness to listen, her encouragement, and her correction of my skewed thinking.
We may be considered a small church, but we're leaving a big footprint. Over the last five years we've partnered with five church planters to help them start a new church in the heart of culturally influential cities. We've invested in missions, humanitarian efforts, and local non-profits. Dozens of people have found Christ, connected with other Christians, and grown in their faith. Recently, we launched the bravest vision initiative we've ever attempted as a church…a vision that will positively impact our church, city, and culture.
It takes many footprints to transform a community.
No single church, regardless of how big it is, can single-handedly change a community. It takes a lot of churches, big and small, leaving footprints. All footprints matter.
Over the last five years, we have learned that just because you're small doesn't mean you can't dream big, think big, believe big, give big, and love big.
Your "big" might look small to a large church in your community, but size isn't the real issue. The real issue is how you steward the resources (people, money, time, facilities, opportunities) that God has entrusted to you. If the parable of the talents teaches us anything it's that faithfulness isn't defined by how much you have, but what you do with it.
We may be a small church, but our faithful stewardship is allowing us to make a big impact. And it can for you too.
No matter what size your church might be today, choose to dream big. Choose to leave a big footprint by wisely stewarding what God has entrusted to you. As you do, don't be surprised if God opens bigger doors.
What are some ways your church can leave a big footprint in your community?
"His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'" –Matthew 25:21

Nestle To Create Fat-Burning Drink For Lazy Fat F*cks
Fuck Nestle! I wouldn't trust any beverages from Nestle. Supposedly, they'll utilize an enzyme that will boost your metabolism and auto-magically burn your fat while you sit on your fat ass instead of getting active like normal mammals do. It's a perfect monopoly of the food industry. Nestle literally owns all the candy industry. They get you fat. Then they get you thirsty. Then they make you drink that fat away. And they got you hooked on their shit.
It's like they don't foresee stupid people abusing it and drinking holes into their stomachs, dying of ulcers or cancers. And people WILL DO THAT.
I won't EVER talk shit about Nestle's delicious chocolates, but damn, don't touch the beverages.

CIA Deletes Emails or Is It Cheaper Than That?
So The National Archives grants the CIA permission to delete their emails. Apparently, the CIA is only deleting the emails of employees who aren't that important or have left the job for more than 3 years. They'll only keep the emails from the senior officers, the ones who make the big decisions. That's not real intelligent, me thinks. It may be a cover-up, or it could just be that even the CIA run out of server space. That can be perceived in two ways: CIA may not be a bad-ass as people think, because now the curtain is pulled back revealing there is a limitation to their resources, OR, they're covering shit up, since emails are so fucking small. You could fit the entire Library of Congress on a single hard-drive, why couldn't you fit hundreds of thousands of years worth of emails and communications into a single server? CIA's full of shit?

Stupid Grocery Shopping Mistakes When On A Tight Budget
I could have saved a lot of money if I hadn't impulse bought a bunch of junk food. I intended to eat for a week, but mostly I set out to get new bed covers and light bulbs, the important stuff. It's a good week gone by and I have 3 cans of tuna, 1 can of chicken breast, 1 Digiorno's pizza. Everything else is consumed by either me or entire family of 5. I'm not the main breadwinner, but this is always a good exercise for when I'm going to be on my own.
Anyway, I shouldn't have bought those damn expensive Naked Juices, which were almost $8 a bottle (64 fl oz).
However, I did notice the packaged salad lasted me the entire week. That's a hell of a deal. Since when I feed myself, I usually don't get any greens. It's usually just carbs and sweets, which is a really dumb move. But, man, that box of salad lasted a whole week. You just have to remember to eat it every day. And I'm sure were I living by myself, I'd have to get those greens into my system. It's a perfect portion.
Another no-brainer good deal is the Ice Mountain water. Just buy a lot of that. You're always going to need it. I prefer Ice Mountain or Walmart's generic brand Great Value over Dasani or Nestle (which are scammy, you can read about it in my other blog post).
Otherwise, let my mistakes be your lesson. Grocery shopping is almost a lost artform.

Jackpot Bloom Now Available At Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com!!!
Well, it turns out you have to manually add the image thumbnail to the Amazon listing page. Lulu.com's Global Reach program only submits the text data and some other very basic info to the Amazon databases. So you have to sign up for an Amazon.com Author Central account and edit the listing there, including uploading a thumbnail of the book cover. Ironically, Lulu.com doesn't let you "fix" their book cover thumbnail, but particularly with Jackpot Bloom where the colors are all off. At least BarnesAndNoble.com automatically got it correct. So now that makes Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com displaying the correct cover colors. Noice.
Awwww yeah, shit just got real, y'all.
So you can now officially order Jackpot Bloom from the following online bookstores:
Don't be spooked out by the Amazon order page, that's just the approval process. Since Jackpot Bloom is actually printed by Lulu.com via print-on-demand, there is no actual inventory. They'll print your copy when you order it.

Lulu.com Rolling Out AdSense Ads for Jackpot Bloom, But With A Twist
What the hell, Lulu.com?!!
Jackpot Bloom is paired with a man in speedo? It's a kid's book. I haven't been looking at any gay porn. And that dude in the speedo doesn't look like a graphic novel either. Wouldn't Jackpot Bloom be paired with other graphic novels? SMDH, Lulu.com.
