Combine a gorgeous vast surf beach and wonderful sea views from the cliffs. Time it for low tide and you can do an excellent loop walk, walking back on the beach. Too close to high tide and you'll get wet.
FTake in two of Whangarei's best sights in one walk, with two big Kauri trees and a 26m idyllic waterfall on the way. The reserves are connected by a nice river walk.
The steep ascent through conservation bush to Bream Head will be rewarded with some great views from the cliffs (magma plugs) on top, then you'll see the Hen & Chicken Islands and magnificent Ocean Beach all the way down. Back along the street to the car park.
Northland's main centre combines city feeling with an environment that's up there with New Zealand's best. You can find magnificent viewpoints from the top of extinct volcanoes, a rich Maori and European heritage with many historic pa sites, a beautiful Town Basin that attracts yachts from around the world, protected bush and walking tracks wherever you go, and the 26m Whangarei Falls which are the best of at least 5 other nice waterfalls in the vicinity. Whangarei has a subtropical climate and a very high density of artists and art galleries. The Bay of Islands and West Coast are already within day trip distance and the Whangarei Heads and Tutukaka Coast with their wild ocean beaches and idyllic bays are only a short drive away.
The beautiful drive on the northern shore of Whangarei Harbour starts at the Town Basin in Whangarei. Along the Pohutukawa lined coast there are many picturesque bays, bush walks and Polynesian style volcanic summits, the roads end at wild ocean beaches - and only a few surfers and fishermen to share them with. After Parua Bay you can go straight towards the remote beaches of Pataua and Taiharuru, or take the right turnoff towards McLeod Bay and Ocean Beach. Soon Mount Manaia is towering above the landscape. At McLeod Bay you can detour to Reotahi behind Mount Aubry and get a close look at New Zealand's only oil refinery across the harbour or see a small island marine reserve and the freezing works ruins from where frozen meat was shipped to England nearly 100 years ago.

Amelia Cooper
'It was the way he lay: asleep, terminal, so profoundly sad – as if by lying in supplication before the waves that killed him he was asking for a replay, with a different outcome this time; and his socks and little shoes told us he was ready to try life again. But his cheek on the soft sand whispered otherwise, it made us choke. Shamed and disgraced, the world wept before the body of this little boy.
These speeches, these sessions, these protests by so many of us here for a world more humane and more dignifying of the rights of all humans, all humans – what good are they, when this happens? Not just once, not just to this tiny boy, Aylan Al Kurdi, but to so many across the world: the horror they experience, relayed daily to us through the news media, shreds our hopes for some mercy, some relief.'
This heartbreaking statement, delivered by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at the opening of the Human Rights Council's 30th Session, preceded a direct plea for States to take swift action and make practical commitments to alleviate the current global tragedies.
We are at a crisis point, and it is not one of capacity, but one of politics.
With regard to the refugee crisis, the pernicious narratives perpetuated by Western media about the 'swarms' of migrants are simply incorrect. The so-called 'influx' of asylum seekers and migrants who have entered Europe via the Mediterranean or Balkans this year makes up approximately 0.068% of Europe's population. The combination of fearmongering, xenophobic tabloids and outright apathy to the immense loss of life that has taken place both on Syrian (and surrounding) soil and in the seas around Europe has been abhorrent.
However, while there have been noted failures in the international response to the Syrian refugee crisis, silent tragedies continue to rage across the globe. The compassionate epiphany triggered by Aylan Al Kurdi's photograph means nothing if we continue to turn a blind eye to crimes against humanity committed by the state in Eritrea, or the exodus of 180,000 people from Burundi, or the ongoing shelling of residential areas on both sides of the contact line in Ukraine. High Commissioner Zeid's statement is a tragic list of conflict and pain, noting many cases which have eluded our consciences and newspapers thus far.
The Human Rights Council provides a forum for discussion and debate of these issues; however, it requires both scrutiny and engagement to function to the best of its capacity. The High Commissioner implored states to transform verbal promises into actual implementation: you, too, can demand that national representatives are held to account for the promises that they make. As this session continues, the Council can be treated as a springboard for discussion of cases that would otherwise slip by unnoticed.
We live in an increasingly interconnected world, but the current crises have seen the invocation of geographical distance and identity politics to sever our basic ties of humanity. It is our duty to resist such divisive tactics, and to instead redress this political turning point through a demonstration of solidarity and strength with our brothers and sisters worldwide.

stop lying. SPLM was found by Dr. John Garang De Mabior from Bor in Jonglei State. NO Bar Elgazal ever found anything. All they know is looting the resources of South Sudanese.

Moulsford School, Moulsford
Just back from a visit to Moulsford School - a boys' prep school in South Oxon with an idyllic riverside setting and a reputation for sporting excellence. Read my review here.
Moulsford School is an all boy's prep school with weekly boarding in South Oxfordshire in a stonkingly lovely 30 acre setting by the river in the small village of Moulsford-on-Thames in South Oxfordshire. The original building is a grand red brick Victorian mansion, with a lot of wood panelling and stained glass, and a grand staircase that leads up to the boarding block. Sympathetic modern buildings house the classrooms for the 367 boys aged 4-13, of whom 43 are boarders.
Sport is a BIG DEAL at Moulsford and it's no surprise to see why with these kind of facilities. At least 8 cricket pitches, 12 sets of cricket nets, one large hockey pitch on the astro (which can be divided into two small pitches), 4 tennis courts, up to 12 football/rugby pitches and a massive indoor gym that's marked up for tennis, badminton and basketball with an indoor climbing wall to boot (not to mention a natty mezzanine with views over the river). Oh, and a 15 metre outdoor swimming pool.
But the biggest selling point sports wise for the school is its riverside USP. It offers comprehensive water sports including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing and even dinghy sailing where kids can go up to 'Goose Poo Island' for the full Swallows & Amazons experience. No rowing though, as the boys' bodies are generally not thought to be developed enough at this age.
If your child can't catch a ball to save his life, but is a dab hand at Chopin études, there's the usual range of music practice rooms and peri teachers. The dedicated music space is relatively small, though it doesn't seem to put the kids off – over 70% of senior boys are taught a musical instrument at Moulsford and because there are no girls around, it's not regarded sissy to play more girl-friendly instruments like the flute or harp (both of which are taught here), or to join the orchestra or choir. The performing arts are being taken seriously – last summer, the school introduced its inaugural dedicated summer music concert on the front lawn.
A newish calling card for Moulsford is its Activities Programme, introduced in September 17, a radical new undertaking for Years 3 – 8 that uses activities to challenge and teach the boys life skills beyond the exam hall and now also feeds into the Moulsford Award in the Prep School, meaning the boys are rewarded for healthy living, performance and the arts, self-development, community service and adventure.
I do hear a lot of guff from various schools about this kind of thing and all schools love to boast about their vast extra-curricular range, but I'm liking the sound of this one because it's very much designed to stretch the kids and unlock potential. Basically, every half term the boys can choose an activity every day (45 – 60 mins, depending on age), anything from judo, music theory, fencing, dance and gymnastics, to rugby fit, kayaking, sewing and er, night running. For pre-prep, it's the likes of music and movement, golf, balance biking (great idea), drama, mindful drawing and board games. The activities are treated like lessons – boys are expected to turn up on time, try hard and learn something new. I think particularly for boys who haven't found their passion, niche or talent, it's a great opportunity.
Drama-wise, the main school hall is small but well-appointed with all the theatre lighting and pull-out tiered seating you'd expect. The start of a comprehensive new after school activities programme in Sept 17 has freed and ring-fenced time for performing arts rehearsals in the school day, part of a desire by the head to send a message that the arts are just as important as sport at Moulsford and deserve time and funding. All kids get the opportunity to perform or be involved in a drama production each year, drama courses run in holidays and children in certain years being offered an introduction to film production. On the technology front, there's a swanky new ICT suite, and after a successful trial where last year's Y4 each had their own ipad to use in relevant classes, this has now been rolled out to all boys in Y4 to Y8.
Strong. Moulsford isn't overly academic in its selection process (the school is oversubscribed and the school looks actively at 'all round' abilities) and in fact, 41 children of its children have 1:1 learning support, mostly for dyslexia/dyspraxia. So it's academic record is all the more impressive – in 2019, at 13+, three boys gained Awards to Abingdon, three to Radley, two to Magdalen College School, two to Cokethorpe, one to Bradfield, one to Wellington, one to St.Edward's Oxford, and one to The Oratory, all across a range of academic, sports, music, art, DT and Drama. Moulsford boys also regularly progress to the likes of Marlborough, Eton, Harrow, Stowe, Shiplake and Pangbourne.
Ben Beardmore-Gray hit the hotseat in 2014, taking over from the previous head who'd been incumbent for 20 years. Married with three kids he's affable, smart, private school educated, blazered up, and more English than a mid-afternoon cream tea. He has a sense of humour too – I'd have paid good money to see him belting out Don't Stop Me Now at Moulsfest, the inaugural autumn school festival. Wife Sarah plays Brian May to the Head's Freddie Mercury, overseeing the marketing, communications and the decor – over the last two years she's overseen a tickle up of the main mansion house, plus the dorms.
I'm not sure I'd describe Moulsford as quirky really unless you count a bit of outdoor pingpong as outré– it's the quintessential English prep school, big on sport, academics, the arts, and manners, though any school that sends children sailing off to a place legitimately called Goose Poo Island has me on side.
Maybe 'quirks' at Moulsford are really best re-labelled opportunities. Undoubtedly the watersports are a big Muddy tick. Sportswise there's a non-selective cultural rugby tour of South Africa every other year for Years 7 & 8 offered regardless of ability – nearly 70% of kids sign up for it. Plus an Art, DT and ICT cross-curricular Dragon's Den project where kid have to create, market, advertise and 'sell' their product to the school dragons that sounds like fun.
Who'd be a kid these days? It's just so stressful and pressurised isn't it? In recognition of this one of Moulsford's three (yes, three!) deputy heads has the sole task of ensuring excellent pastoral care for the kids. There's also a counsellor who comes in weekly as a drop-in service, and AS tracking has recently been introduced to help identify pupils who are at a hidden risk of developing social and emotional difficulties.
On a different note, the school is keen to play up its 'all rounder' qualities, aware perhaps that it's outstanding success at sport has somewhat dwarfed its ability to shout about drama and music over recent years. Unless your child is such a piano prodigy that he needs to play in a full sized concert hall every lesson my sense is that there's decent arts provision here. A slight anxiety about these disciplines being overlooked will no doubt mean even more effort is put into these subjects over the next few years.
Also worth a mention were the children's manners, which were excellent. I stuck my nose into loads of classes (which are small as you'd expect – between 16-18 children in each). All the kids were calm and well-behaved, stood up when we entered the room, and chatted with eye contact. Do Moulsford do summer courses in manners? If so I'm dumping my kids there.
Nearly all Moulsford's kids come from a 20k radius of the school, nearly all boarders are local too – either kids who want to do a couple of days a week for fun or older children who are getting in the zone for the time when they board at Senior School. There's been total refurb of the dorms with new carpets, repainting, blinds, curtains, and a new common room area complete with updated furnishings (below).
There are 36 beds and priority goes to weekly boarders (Mon – Fri, there's no Saturday school), but it's possible to board or single pre-booked nights too. In terms of afterschool care, all children can stay until 5.45pm for prep or activities, and if the school is notified first thing in the morning, children can also stay for supper and play until 8pm. In holidays, there are week long (paid for) courses put on the for the kids in sport, art, drama, music etc.
Pre-prep day fees start at £3805, rising to £5685 per term for Prep day fees. With boarding the termly fees £7120, so I'd say the fees are broadly average.
The mums I spoke to are extremely pro Moulsford and like the head and the changes he continues to implement. Music and drama provision has improved though sport is still the standard bearer. That said, previous moans about lack of involvement for lower teams down the pecking order have largely gone with a much more inclusive 'sport for all' philosophy. The biggest issue is actually finding enough teams to play (!) as Moulsford often fields A to E teams. A nice problem to have really. Tweaks to the school uniform seem to niggle slightly (clearly there's a cost involved) but the general consensus is the clobber is an improvement on previous years.
Good for: Boys with energy to burn, who thrive on an outdoorsy, idyllic Swallows & Amazons-style school. Sporty kids will love it here, but the head is eager to promote an all-rounder ethos so expect big things of the arts too. Discipline is strong so a good option for anyone whose little darling is showing signs of dissent.
Not for: The relatively small pupil numbers means the orchestral capacity will be less impressive than that of a larger school so if your child has extraordinary instrumental ability it's worth bearing that in mind, though learners and middlers will be fine. Vehemently non-competitive kids may not enjoy the give-it-a-go attitude at Moulsford.
Dare to disagree? Don't take my word for it! Have a look for yourself at the Open Day on Fri 17 May 2019, or book an individual tour with the Headmaster during term-time throughout the year. In the meantime you can get the official promo flavour of the school here or contact the school's new Registrar Jill Morrin for further info email@example.com.

Chrissie De Villiers | Purposeful goals are key to great achievement
1. Give us a brief background of what you do?
I'm the Marriage Success Mediator and I train couples on strategies to enable them to have a successful marriage. I hold face-to-face courses in Cape Town, South Africa and have an online course published on Udemy and Skillshare. The face-to-face training and online course are suitable for engaged couples and newlyweds as marriage preparation and for married couples looking for a marriage enrichment course.
2. What are the key factors that got you to where you are today?
Two key factors:
Firstly, moving countries from England to South Africa forced me to change direction. In London, England, I had worked as an attorney and law lecturer. But I could not continue my law career in South Africa. There is no conversion course to practice as an attorney in South Africa if you qualified as an attorney in another country. So, I retrained as a commercial mediator and family mediator.
Family mediators liaise disputes between separating and divorced couples. Both my husband and I had been married previously. He made the observation that I should rather train couples on marriage, so they could have a greater chance of staying together (and being happy!). My JT Foxx business coaches also helped me to find my focus. Although I do keep up my accreditation and work as a family mediator, my passion is marriage success training.
Secondly, my daughter. I wanted to be able to spend time with her whilst she was growing up (and still earn my own income).
When I was a child my parents ran a Post Office and shop in a village in the Peak District in England. They worked very long hours and could only take two weeks holiday each year. I didn't get to spend a vast amount of time with them during the school holidays. I want to have the freedom to be able to spend quality time with my daughter. Children spell love as t-i-m-e. I got to the bottom of this "why" with the help of my business coaches.
3. Name 3 business principles that are of core value to you?
Successful businesses are built on the actions that you take every single day. You must keep taking those actions every day - even when you don't feel like it - or are short on time. No-one is going to help you build your business (unless you employ them). The responsibility is with you alone, which means you must always follow up. Many of your customers and potential business partners will be time poor and, therefore, unwilling to engage with you if effort is required. You must make the effort and make it as easy as possible for them.
Self-management of where you focus your time and effort is crucial. What is important to build your brand and business? Marketing, for example, is a major aspect. If you don't know how to market your business, or you don't have the time to focus on marketing, rather outsource this part of business building to a specialist company.
Too many times it is easy to get side-tracked by apparent urgent tasks. When I want to focus, I turn off my cell phone and internet. I also leave my administrative tasks to the early afternoon and I don't allow them to take over my entire day.
I am a big believer in goals, but they must be SMART goals. Specific, measurable, action-orientated, realistic and time-bound.
For example, I set myself a goal to adapt my face-to-face course and produce an online version over a period of 90 days. When you have the overall goal, you are able to break it down into smaller parts. What do you need to achieve each day to reach your ultimate goal? It also brings great satisfaction to celebrate your small achievements along the journey.
4. What has been the hardest part of being an entrepreneur?
The hardest part of being an entrepreneur for me is being different to most of my friends, family and wider community. It is hard-wired into our brains to fit in; to search for connection with others. It can be scary to paddle your own canoe and not conform to the usual. It can feel very uncomfortable to be doing something different, i.e. not having a regular job or being a stay-at-home Mom. I am still getting used to the discomfort and feeling that way without judging myself.
5. How do you overcome rejection?
I have to credit my best friend in England, Nicola Buckley, for how I overcome rejection. She also runs her own business, The StrongHer Revolution. Her advice is to identify your core values. Once you've identified those core values, any decision that you take, or any experience you have, can be put in context of those core values. My core values are love, hope and joy. Whenever I experience rejection, I go back to my core values and also why I started my business in the first place. My why is my daughter and my passion is to help couples have happy marriages.
6. How do you juggle motherhood with your busy schedule?
My daughter is now at school age and I do pay for her to go to the aftercare at her school until 14.15 every day. I drop her off at 7.30 in the morning and then focus on my work until I collect her. I then spend time with her in the afternoon. She goes to bed between 19.00 and 19.30. I will then do more work once she is asleep. I will work into the evenings, especially if I have a specific deadline.
School holidays are more difficult. I do have friends and aunties who help by having her for a morning or a day. I am then able to concentrate on my work during that time. My husband is an independent financial planner and also has control over his time and he helps me too.
I really do enjoy the time I get to spend with her in the afternoons and try to do fun things together. She loves drawing and painting, so this holiday we've started a paint by numbers oil painting. We also like swimming and running together.
7. What is your favourite quote and explain why?
My favourite quote is part of the Paradoxical Commandments written by Kent M Keith. "People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centred. Love them anyway."
I love this quote because it reminds me that I need to love and help people, even when they are not being particularly lovable. This is true for both running a business and being married.
8. What does success mean to you?
Success to me will be when I have achieved financial freedom; when I have passive income that covers all my expenses. Then I will have a choice whether or not to work. My time will truly be my own. Until that day, I am very happy to be working on a business that is both my passion and my purpose.

Karmic as the Collaborators' Desktop
Here's a screen shot to pimp a few things:
1. This is Jono Bacon and I working together. We are video conferencing with Empathty.
2. I am sharing my screen so Jono can look at what I am working on.
3. What I am working on is bughugger, a tool that I am starting up that is a desktop-based front end to Launchpad for managing large sets of bugs.
4. And I am writing it with Quickly, a developer tool set is new for Karmic.
Karmic is rock solid for me right now. I think this is going to be the single best desktop I have ever run.
[edit] Jono has a mirror image to this post.

Nothing symbolises a Kiwi Christmas and summer more than a pohutukawa flower. It's been another stunning summer day and still enjoying the long sunny days on holiday. I finished the side path at our house today and it looks awesome with the lime chip and I'm very happy with how it turned out 🙂 We then lazed around in the sun followed by home-made pizza and cold beer on the deck. A great finish to a great day 359 🙂

December 22: Red apples
December 16: Breaking out
I took some images of the same plant on December 1 (coincidently at the same time as Xandre Verkes posted some fantastic images of a very similar subject!) but saw it again today just as the flowers were breaking out of the pod and thought it looked pretty cool so took a photo to share with you all on day 348 🙂
December 1: Purple flower buds
November 29: Rays of sunlight
I had to take a trailer load of branches (from my recent Chainsaw + Stephen vs. Backyard battle) out to Mel's Uncle's burn-pile tonight and grabbed my camera on the way out. As I was passing this local sports field I saw the rays of sunlight steaming through the clouds so stopped to take a photo for today. I really like the contrast between the dark clouds and the bright grass with the rays as a sort of in-between. A few more trailer loads to come but I spotted some old cars in a paddock tonight so maybe they will be the images for tomorrow… But for now, this is day 331's image.
November 21: Droplets on ivy
I woke up early this morning to pouring rain! Not happy because the weather has been awesome recently but I suppose it had to come sometime because it is spring after all… It's been raining pretty hard most of the day but stopped just after dinner tonight so I went out to take a shot and was on the look for a good shot with some raindrops. Our ivy has been featured in a few shots this year and again today. The glossy leaves meant that the rain formed cool droplets on the leaf so this is shot for day 323…

Although all recent tablet headlines have been grabbed by iPad Mini, Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 Fudgezilla reports that RIM will launch a $550 4G-enabled (LTE) PlayBook on Tuesday, July 31st.
The new tablet is rumored to arrive with a host of features including 7-inch display, fast mobile web connection, 32GB memory, 3MP front-facing camera and 5MP rear camera and 1.5 GHz dual-core processor. It will be powered by PlayBook OS 2.0.
There is one catch to the launch though. Reports suggest that the initial launch will be in Canada only.
It is said that Bell will be the only operator to supply the new BlackBerry tablet as of now. US networks are still anxious that BlackBerry devices will not do well in the market.
The present PlayBook constantly declined in sales quarter on quarter and forced RIM to axe the 16GB model last month.
The new tablet is supposed to be a profit maker.

Pointers for Writing Excellent Product Reviews
The internet has numerous reviews about almost every type of product available in the market. While the benefit of reading through batches of posts might appear rewarding, on occasion, the work of spending hours comparing different brands and models and trying to evaluate all of the positives and negatives as you work through the process is not. Individuals spend a lot of time researching products they know they have to buy but with many detailed product reviews out there, why take all this time to decide which item to buy?
Most of the time, once a product review has been written by someone, upgrades are seldom designed to explain the factors that could have changed over time, for example, a software update for a phone or a design flaw that was not rectified until after the original review was written. Unless the reader can get in touch with the reviewer directly, there may be particular questions that the reader may have that were not answered. However, product reviews remain useful as many other customers refer to them when they would like to purchase a product.
Affiliates today use various strategies to try to make commissions selling other people's products. Blogging nonetheless, appears to be cheapest and the most effective of all provided that the affiliates can come up with product reviews that can sell. There is a stark difference between product reviews and promotional articles. Product Reviews engage the readers and build trust while promotional articles are much like advertisements.
Options – My Most Valuable Advice
What most individuals are interested in a digital item or product are looking for in a review is information from a pro. Thus, the product review should be written professionally and should have all the crucial information including the price, the business which has made the product, the value, and reviews from some other customers who have used it. Establishing separate ratings like for the quality, support and value would supply the readers what they may be looking for with all of the data.
Smart Tips For Finding Sources
Using a professional tone and assuring the readers in the post that you have also tried out the product will build trust and rapport. When you have one among the goods you are advertising as an affiliate, ensure that you post a photo or a receipt in the product reviews. Although you must divulge the details that you get commissions for sale as required by law, the customers will trust you more.
Once you publish the reviews, you've got to answer the remarks and questions that the customers ask so as to place yourself as an expert. This does not imply that you take up the role of the business's customer care department, but you must find out about their contact details and post them in the replies to help the customers out.

I try to not make some of these business-related things a big deal, but this one deserves making a note of... when this momma contacted me to do family photos, it was my first photo session booked through my website! Yeah website! With crazy hectic schedules between the two of us, we booked the only available weekend between the two of us and committed to it, rain or shine.
Fortunately, there was no rain. But there wasn't a lot of shine, or very warm temperatures! But they were all troopers. Thanks for the fun afternoon, Perrin family! You're a beautiful family!

A paramedic career is an occupation that includes the use of a lot of hats from the medical industry, despite the fact that the individual is not generally a totally certified physician. A paramedic not only gives advanced life support, but they can preferably do mild surgeries and various advanced health procedures when essential. A paramedic is accountable for using the knowledge and experience in administering medication, managing high tension issues along with providing quality medical care and interest.
Paramedics play an essential function in our society. They provide healthcare in a few of the worst scenarios as they deal with scenarios like giving birth, vehicle accidents, cardiac arrest, drowning victims, gunshot wounds, and burn victims.
The paramedic is typically the first person on the scene with medical training. He or she has the ability to provide medication to the victim and carry out medical tasks. Therefore, paramedics need to have a specific level of education and training as mandated by United States Department of Transportation.
How do you become a paramedic?
Although paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) do comparable jobs, they are different from each other. An EMT is an entry level type of emergency medical services provider who comprehends and can carry out all the core proficiencies.
Comprehending The Requirements
This is the primary step in your journey to becoming a certified paramedic. The requirements can differ from one state to another, however eligibility specifications are usually the exact same. They consist of:
- Must be at least 18 years old.
- Must be a high school graduate or hold a GED
- Need to have a valid chauffeur's license
- Need to be a qualified EMT
As a paramedic, you will have to show mastery in treatments such as intubations, CPR, EKGs, and cardioversions. Most of the programs will need that you pass accreditation tests in locations like pediatric advanced support and advanced cardiac life support.
Steps To Become A Paramedic In Woods Cross Utah
The education to become a paramedic is rigorous. These are the advanced level EMTs who are frequently the lead members of rescue teams. Management skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure are needed. A paramedic should reveal compassion for clients in addition to have physical strength, coordination and stamina to move and treat clients quickly.
The steps to become a paramedic include:
- You should become licensed as an EMT-B. An EMT-B is the basic level of training. Training lasts for approximately 120 to 150 hours and takes about 6 months to finish. You can find EMT-B training at technical institutions and neighborhood colleges.
- After you complete the EMT-B training, you must take the test to get licensed by your state.
- Many EMTs work in the field for a couple of years to get experience and on-the-job training before they attempt to become paramedics. For some paramedic courses, which include 1200 to 1800 hours of study or two years of research study, approximately six months of on-the-job training as an EMT is required. Also, some people who have actually completed EMT-B training also complete Advanced EMT training which is an additional 300 hours of coursework.
- There are lots of alternatives to pick from when it comes to paramedic training and accreditation. This course is provided by lots of state colleges, neighborhood colleges, and some medical facilities. You will have to complete between 750 and 1500 hours of class and field direction before taking a certification test.
- After you have actually completed the paramedics training, you need to take the state licensing test. The test just like the training is hard, but there are research study guides readily available to make it easier. As a paramedic, you can operate in a health center, in a station house, and far more.

Had to drop the ride off at the Datsun err Nissan dealership today for it's current maintenance. Watched Top Gear UK and they tend to still call Nissan's Datsuns. My mom and dad both had datsun's when I was a kid and my mom's station wagon we had for 125K miles, my dad traded his pickup for a Isuzu that got better mileage. Later of course I had the Altima that I ended up with 150K miles I put on it in 10 years for 180K total.
Hoping to get out onto the WO&D saturday after work, and maybe some CCT or something sunday, if it's dried out a bit. Not holding my breath though.

Police release bizarre note left by rookie officer's killer
DAVIS, Calif. -- The man who shot and killed a rookie California police officer left a letter on the bed in the home where he lived claiming police bombarded him with ultrasonic waves, officials said. Police in the college town of Davis near Sacramento on Saturday made public the one-paragraph letter they said was written by Kevin Douglas Limbaugh, 48. He killed himself Thursday after fatally shooting Officer Natalie Corona.
Police spokesman Lt. Paul Doroshov said the paper was found face up on the gunman's bed.
"The Davis Police department has been hitting me with ultra sonic (sic) waves meant to keep dogs from barking," the letter said. "I notified the press, internal affairs, and even the FBI about it. I am highly sensitive to its affect (sic) on my inner ear. I did my best to appease them, but they have continued for years and I can't live this way anymore."
The handwritten note was signed "Citizen Kevin Limbaugh." Also recovered as evidence from the man's home were two unregistered guns.
Davis police did not immediately respond Sunday to a telephone message seeking comment on whether Limbaugh had reported his claims to officials.
Investigators have not identified a motive for the ambush shooting of the 22-year-old officer as she investigated a car accident.
The Sacramento Bee reported that court documents show Limbaugh was charged and convicted in a battery case last fall, and he agreed in November to surrender the weapon.
The case stemmed from Limbaugh getting arrested in September for assaulting someone at Cache Creek Casino, Yolo County Sheriff's Sgt. Matthew Davis said.
Authorities have not determined where Limbaugh obtained the two semi-automatic handguns he was believed to have used in the Thursday night attack that killed Corona.
Police said a gunman on a bicycle ambushed the officer, shooting her from the shadows as she investigated a car accident, then reloaded and narrowly avoided wounding others before walking home.
At his house a few blocks away, he casually chatted with his roommate as if nothing happened and even went outside to watch as police from around the region began rushing to the shooting scene, Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel said Friday.
The gunman left behind a backpack that helped police track him to the house. The chief said as police began to surround it, he stepped outside wearing a bulletproof vest.
"He shouted some stuff, went back in and came back out with a firearm, then went back inside, pushed a couch in front of the door and officers heard a gunshot," Pytel said.
Police eventually sent a robotic camera in and found the gunman had shot himself in the head.
Police found the handguns in the home.
The shooting devastated the Davis Police Department, which has about 60 sworn officers and about 30 other employees.
Corona was the first officer in the department to die in the line of duty since 1959. She had only been patrolling solo for about two weeks, the chief said.
Pytel told reporters Corona was "a rising star in the department. … I've heard her described by our officers tonight as our daughter, our friend, and just a sister that we all wanted. This is just an absolutely devastating loss to the police department."
Corona followed in the footsteps of her father, Merced Corona, a former deputy with the Colusa County Sheriff's Department.
Merced Corona told CBS San Francisco he was proud of his daughter and was honored to pin on her police badge when she graduated from the police academy in July.
"She died doing what she wanted to do, which was being in law enforcement," Merced Corona told the station.
Corona was a popular student at Pierce High School in Arbuckle, California, where she played basketball. Ed Martinez, Corona's former basketball coach, was one of the nearly 5,000 people who attended a candlelight vigil for the slain officer Saturday, CBS San Francisco reports.
"When she walked into the room, it was like somebody turned the lights on," Martinez said.
On Wednesday night, another rookie officer in Shreveport, La. was shot dead as she left to go to work. Chateri Payne had just graduated from the police academy in November.

The tribute concert that was suppose to take place in Vienna this month has been postponed until June 2010 and the venue has been changed to London. The reason being given for the concert is postponed according to Michael's brother Jermaine is that too many stars were unable to perform. Jermaine said "Numerous stars were just not able to change their schedules to make a live appearance at the Vienna event possible."
"Many artists and performers who I have spoken to personally told me that it would be a great honour to be part of this memorial concert for my late brother," Jermaine Jackson said. "However, due to the short time frame it was not possible for many of them to change their schedule so that they could be on stage in Vienna on 26 September, therefore we decided, after careful consideration, to change the date of the tribute concert to June 2010 – just a few weeks before the first anniversary of his untimely death. "Now we have eight months to put this monumental show together and not just eight weeks."
Seems like Jermaine is trying "to spin" a good explanation for the cancelling. Rumor has it many stars that were suppose to perform at the venue denied any involvement. I guess a concert without any stars is not considered a concert! The event seems to be more like a Jermaine tribute rather than a Michael tribute. Photo: Flynet Pictures

Auction description:
Lot Number 129
1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre Roadster
$225,000 - $275,000
Offered without reserve
RM | Sotheby's - ARIZONA 2019 - Offered on: Thursday, January 17, 2019
Chassis No. 1E 13219
Engine No. 7E 9514-9
Gearbox No. E J336
Body No. 4E 4810
Impeccably restored by Jaguar specialists
Finished in Opalescent Dark Blue over Oxblood leather interior
Accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT) Certificate
Includes tools, jack, and spare tire
This stylish roadster was delivered new to Bernard G. Cinders in Los Angeles and subsequently found its way to Clifford Thompson in Hesperia, California. In 2017, the car was purchased by its current owner, a Jaguar marque specialist who is also a hands-on restorer. It was transported to the owner's shop in Scottsdale, Arizona, for a total refurbishment. At that time, the car was in relatively good condition with a rust-free body but required some care to bring it to concours level. The owner disassembled the E-Type and performed a meticulous bumper-to-bumper inspection of the car. All the mechanicals were examined; components were then reconstructed, refinished, or replaced with new parts as necessary.
The engine was rebuilt with new pistons, reground crankshaft, new timing chains, and oil pump, and was then dynamically balanced for smooth operation. The transmission was rebuilt using new bearings, synchro rings, and layshaft, while the differential was likewise fully rebuilt using new bearings and changing the gear ratio to 3.07:1 to utilize the 4.2-liter's impressive torque. The braking system is all-new from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders, and a stainless-steel exhaust system was installed. The suspension, hydraulic, and electrical systems were brought to "like-new" condition. Numerous other enhancements were made, and the owner states the car is in excellent running order.
The work did not stop there. The body was sandblasted and finished in highly attractive Opalescent Dark Blue finish. The chrome, brightwork, wire wheels, and knock-off hubcaps gleam. All the glass is new, as is the dark blue fitted convertible top. The passenger cabin has also been reinvigorated. The factory color scheme continues with new oxblood leather seats and color-coordinated carpeting. A Jaguar tool kit, jack, and spare tire are secured in the trunk.
The restoration was completed within the last 12 months and only 50 miles have been put on the odometer since. A service manual and restoration documents accompany the car as does a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. This is a special E-Type: a pristine roadster whose next owner will take possession of a classic automotive treasure, one that electrified the world when new, and continues to do so today.

Sports briefs: May 12
Fiesta Bowl fined $1 million but will stay in BCS system
The Fiesta Bowl will be allowed to remain part of the Bowl Championship Series, though it must pay a $1 million fine for apparent illegal campaign contributions and inappropriate spending. The BCS presidential oversight committee, which made the decision Wednesday, also attached several conditions as it let the Fiesta Bowl remain part of the system for deciding college football's national champion. The demands include strengthening the Fiesta Bowl's board and imposing greater supervision of bowl executives so the problems are not repeated, according to materials obtained by The Associated Press.
"The message is, they had cleaned house and addressed their problems, but our group doesn't believe they went far enough," Bill Hancock, executive director of the BCS, said. He added that the $1 million fine was meant to reflect the "serious nature of the matter." The BCS called for the $1 million to be donated to charities serving Arizona youth. The bowl shouldn't have much trouble coming up with the cash. In a filing with the IRS this year, the Fiesta Bowl listed more than $15 million in net assets.
■ Two Arkansas football players have been granted releases from their scholarships, while a third is working through the process of applying for a medical hardship. Arkansas Coach Bobby Petrino confirmed Wednesday the release of backup kicker Eddie Camara and tight end Ryan Calender through a spokesman, who declined to say whether the two asked for their releases or were dismissed from the team. They are the second and third players to leave the team this week, following former receiver Lance Ray on Monday.
Hundreds attend Ballesteros' funeral
To the mournful wail of a lone bagpipe, some of Europe's greatest golfers joined family, friends and local residents of Pedrena, Spain, Wednesday at the funeral of Seve Ballesteros, paying an emotional final tribute to the dynamic Spaniard who revived the European game. Ryder Cup captains Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie, Ian Woosnam, Sam Torrance and Jose Maria Olazabal and players including Miguel Angel Jimenez marched together in silence as part of the procession from Ballesteros' family home to the church of San Pedro de Pedrena. Ballesteros, a five-time major winner and Ryder Cup stalwart, died Saturday at age 54 from complications of a cancerous brain tumor.
■ Justin Tereshko followed up his first-round 71 with a 2-over 74, good enough for a tie for 19th individually, and Transylvania moved up two spots to 14th in the NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championship in Greensboro, N.C. Centre's Chris Morris, a senior from Maysville, led the individual standings after a 65 put him at 7-under for the tournament. The Colonels are in 10th place overall. After Wednesday's play, the field was cut to the top-15 teams and top-five individuals not on one of those teams. The championship runs through Friday.
Bayne to miss another race
Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne will miss his third straight race this weekend when Kevin Swindell fills in for him at Dover International Speedway. Bayne spent a week at the Mayo Clinic undergoing treatment for what doctors have called an inflammatory condition. He was released last Thursday. Roush Fenway President Steve Newmark said the team is encouraged by Bayne's progress but is being cautious in holding him out an additional week. Newmark said Bayne would probably drive in next week's All-Star race for the Wood Brothers.
Nadal drops first set, but beats qualifier
Rafael Nadal struggled past 148th-ranked qualifier Paolo Lorenzi 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-0 in his opening match at the Italian Open on Wednesday in Rome, looking far from the form that has helped him dominate on clay for six years. It marked the third consecutive match in which Nadal dropped the first set, including a loss in straight sets to Novak Djokovic in Sunday's finals. Djokovic stretched his unbeaten start this year to 33 matches with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Polish qualifier Lukasz Kubot earlier. The Serb could take the top ranking if he wins the tournament and Nadal fails to reach the semifinals. The event at the Foro Italico is a key warmup for the French Open, which starts in 11 days. Roger Federer got off to a solid start with a 6-4, 6-2 win over former Australian Open runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
LSU plans statue of Shaq
Louisiana State plans to unveil a bronze, life-size statue of a young Shaquille O'Neal dunking in his college basketball uniform outside of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center's new practice facility, said Herb Vincent, LSU associate vice chancellor for communications. The 900-pound statue would be the first on campus of a former LSU athlete. The tentative plan is to unveil the statue during the NBA off-season, Vincent said.
ESPN's Kordell Stewart arrested
Authorities say former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Kordell Stewart has been charged with driving with a suspended license. Fulton County sheriff's spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan said Stewart was booked into jail in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta Wednesday on that and a speeding charge. She said he was freed on a $3,000 bond about four hours later. The Louisiana native played in the NFL for 11 seasons, eight with the Steelers from 1995 through 2002.
■ Former ESPN commentator Jay Mariotti pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that he stalked and assaulted his former girlfriend, the same woman he pleaded no contest to battering in another case last year. The Los Angeles County district attorney's office says Mariotti entered not-guilty pleas Wednesday to three felony counts and two misdemeanor counts of disobeying a domestic court order. Prosecutors say Mariotti grabbed the woman outside a Venice restaurant last month, pulled out a chunk of her hair and took her cellphone away while shouting at her.
UK softball puts four on All-SEC teams
Four Kentucky softball players were named to All-Southeastern Conference teams, led by senior Megan Yocke, who became the second player in school history to receive the honor in each of her four seasons. The league also announced that senior Meagan Aull was named Scholar Athlete of the Year. UK's senior catcher, Yocke, was made first team for the second straight season. Aull and sophomore Kara Dill were named to the second team, and Emily Jolly made the freshman team. Aull is the first recipient of the SEC Scholar Athlete award in school history.
The sixth-seeded Cats kick off the SEC Tournament Thursday against No. 3 seed Tennessee. UK matched a program record with 36 wins this season and took two of three from the Lady Vols in its first SEC series. The tournament at Mississippi runs through Saturday.
Animal Kingdom stretches out after trip
Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom has settled into his new stall in Maryland, where he will reside until coming to Pimlico Race Course for the Preakness. Animal Kingdom got some exercise on the track at Fair Hill in Elkton on Wednesday. The horse jogged and appeared comfortable in his surroundings. In other news, beaten Derby favorite Dialed In returned to the track at Churchill Downs on Wednesday and jogged once around. Trainer Nick Zito said the horse, who finished eighth on Saturday, "came out of the race in good shape."
■ The New York Racing Association announced Wednesday there will be a $300,000 guaranteed Pick 4 every Saturday for the duration of Belmont Park's meet. On Belmont Stakes Day, June 11, there will be two wagers with $1 million guarantees: an all-graded-stakes Pick 4 and an all-graded-stakes Pick 6.
The last word
Mavericks Coach Rick Carlisle on why Lakers Coach Phil Jackson's latest retirement might not stick, either:
"I don't know how long you can go to Montana and meditate and smoke peyote or whatever he does there. He's going to get bored."

If you see a lot of dots on the screen during hitlog update, it's normal. Just wait until it finishes.
If you don't want to wait or if the script really hangs (no dots appear) you may need to empty evo_sessions & evo_hitlog tables before upgrade.

hey! thanks coco! miss marple [another random nickname that we gave her. agatha christie anyone?] was a major monkey this morning. [also, monkey is another nickname. i'm not sure why we gave our dogs actual names since it seems as though we call them everything but. however, did you know that the word coco in portuguese means "monkey face". gosh, we are super smart.]
so, i have posted before about all of coco's issues. she is a bit crazy. and one of her problems is a battle with bulimia. that's right! coco was a runt and she now has trouble keeping weight on. but she is very self-conscious about her little figure. hubby and i don't really love seeing her tiny ribs protruding from her fur so we try all that we can to fatten her up. but, she is on to us. every time she starts gaining a bit of weight, she starts her regime of wandering around the house licking every fuzzy surface that she can find. yup. the carpet. rugs. pillows. blankets. couches. clothing. anything. why? well, in her little brain it is simple. if i can create a massive hairball, it will make me sick to my stomach and i will cough it up! problem solved. the result is a massive hairball on the floor [or sometimes in her bed. that's right. this has happened a few times. it is somewhat cyclical in nature. hmmm...perhaps it is a form of puppy pms?] as a warm up to the main event - throwing up her breakfast. lovely.
so, that's what i did this morning. blerg. i am hoping for a better afternoon. we have much to do and the buddies need to be in fine form for their Christmas garb. gotta be festively dressed for dinner and it's a wonderful life with the family tonight!

It started in 2010 when Responsive Web Design (RWD) approached the World Wide Web. Its aim to carve websites and provide a mobility solution became a hot topic in 2013. 2014 is the time where many businesses are gone mobile or putting RWD to action.
I would like to talk about responsive web design behaviour and user experiences where about 50% of customers move to the competitor's website after a bad mobile site experience. The challenge for digital companies is eventually growing with unlimited choice of devices and thousands of screen sizes available in the market. So the question is not "why go responsive?", but when?
RWD allows businesses to optimise, keep uniformity and usability for large desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile presence using single form of web development and not developing three or more different sets of codes for desktop, tablet and mobile. This brings a vital consideration for businesses for long term stability of their web presence. In this stimulating and competitive digital world, it is important to always be one step ahead to keep up. Most of the customers want to buy the product or service if the site has great user experience on the devices they are comfortable using. It can be a mobile, a tablet, a laptop or a desktop.
We at DNA-Design design and develop as per our client's requirements. We have been busy driving ourselves through Pakkeboksen, Super Brugsen tilbudsavis, Hagelund + Jensen, Homes & Housing, Fakta.eu and many more.
It is important to keep following key areas in consideration before adapting RWD. We'd like to recommend the following when going mobile.
1. Facts awareness for a responsive website
You must be aware of the size and the complexity of the whole process. It is important to understand the cost involved and ensure the complete process of your requirement to our design, development and marketing. It is also required to set a budget for transforming your business responsive, certainly there are real return of investments involved. These will tend to be long term benefits through scalability and the maintenance of one code base rather than three. The scoping and development of responsive website is an elaborate undertaking and not to be underestimated.
Hire the right team to vitalise your website's success. A user experience (UX) designer knows the distinctions of all devices is a must have as is the inclusion of capable engineers with experience across a range of screen sizes.
Driving with the right plan with save you from a lot of hassles in the future. So don't judge the cost by cutting corners as it may save you some money now but will cost you way lot more as your business expands with your website.
2. Build a website with attitude
The key to your success is to keep the right content on your website. You need to know your content and create a strategy in such a way that the customers know who you are as a company and what you can offer them.
The right form of content will help defining the grid, system layout, navigation design and scalability of your website. Keep the content precise because, by experience, if it take more than 5 seconds to load a page on mobile, the customer will leave your website. Not everyone is on 4G or even 3G network.
The content strategy was one of the most challenging parts of Pakkeboksen with considering thousands of users accessing the website across the country.
3. Art of context
Your website is the voice of your business. You should understand the flow of context that will drive your customers throughout the website. If someone is viewing your website on the move while sitting in a car, a bus or a train, they will mostly view it on a mobile. Whereas, users will view it on tablets while watching television, will have diverse need and intention from those viewing on a desktop or laptop.
Think about that moment of a day, the impacts, create user stories from your experience and your business, and provide context-sensitive interactions for users on a touchscreen device.
The context of Homes & Housing was created by us in 2013 with that approach which provided the users to navigate the website through regional and international languages to express and fulfil the viewer's needs. The site incorporates the need of stakeholders and consumers. This site gives adequate information to both users.
Every user situations are taken into consideration, where the customers need to find your business information or your address on the go using their phone. Hence, in addition, a Google map to locate the business address attracted a lot of users with trust.
Optimising the site for tablet view was taken on a long term goal considering fast growth of adoption of tablet devices.
4. Mobile viewers
Designing the website for the smallest screen size along with desktop and tablet screen sizes is delivered to focus on growth of accessing your website anytime anywhere to scale up your business.
Designing and developing a mobile site with one set of code, used by large screen sizes, help define the content priorities together with understanding the importance of interactive features such as navigation, image carousel, will behave in different ways, forms and factors.
5. Responsive web design and Search Engines
Any search engine will love your responsive website as it will target all users to your business. This is the optimisation (SEO) vision of any search engine to get the same landing page (URL) for any device.
From an SEO perspective, a responsive website will enable you to maintain your website's link structure, which will mean that you can focus your SEO on one single site. This means all of your links will be directed to one domain, giving your responsive website a boost in the search engine results page (SERP).
A good responsive website meets the requirements of the audience, is optimised for the ease of device experiences already used and is future proofed for those we are yet to see.
Through intuitive user experience and great design, a complex design approach can appear simple and seamless and will drive real customer loyalty, and subsequently through effective analytics your business can reap major benefits by gaining deeper insights into how your users interact across differing devices.

November 18, 2017
10:30 am
The hope for the next generation of businesses is that the large quantities of data, which is accessible to the masses, can help in planning everything from better decision making to executing better marketing campaigns.
The greatest advantage of big data is that it's visual, quantitative and empathetic. In the coming years, we may see some advancements in big data, seeking more qualitative and empathetic bits of data and visualizing it in a more accessible way.
So, what are the major significant data trends that project managers and professionals should be aware of in the coming year? Here are four to keep an eye on.
Machine Learning
In the past few years, machine learning has taken massive steps forward with the amazing invention in technology. They have even emerged to assist Google's search engine algorithm, but they seem to appear in a limited range of applications. In the coming year, we expect to see an increased integration of machine learning as well as microservices. We also expect to see a lot of machine learning updates in almost all of the different types of consumer application on the market, from better product offerings based on purchase history to regularly improving the user experience of an analytics app.
In 2016, Blockchain made headlines on the distributed technology as the new trend that would change organizations especially the financial services. In 2017, we have seen the drastic rise of Bitcoin price which has led to more organizations taking part in Bitcoin mining. The advancement in blockchain has contributed to the success of many businesses. In 2018, it is anticipated that blockchain technology may go beyond the banking sector, to help startups and established businesses to address the market with different service applications.
Mixed Reality (Augmented and Virtual Reality)
We've seen major strides taken in augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology in the last two years with the grand launch of Pokemon Go in 2016, which received an overwhelming 100 million users in just a few weeks. Similarly, there were thousands of VR apps and games released in the same period. The market seems to be ready for AR and VR. Also, there are some advanced devices and tech, including the new iPhone X, ready for these apps in place, but we expect to see things take off in the coming year which may see a lot of marketing opportunities come up.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In 1980, the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) held its first national conference to mark the application of theories in software. Today, artificial general intelligence is emerging because of deep learning, a subfield of machine learning that is used to create artificial neural networks and can form different patterns in big data. Since there are increased computing power and a vast amount of data, deep learning is becoming widely known and available for most entities. In 2017 and coming years, we expect to see many learning apps that could impact our lives in a positive way.
Making future assumptions and prediction can be a puzzling task. There may be a lot of additional trends in the coming year, but the ones in the above list are most likely to attract market attention for the remaining part of the year and in 2018. This is a great insight to help the marketers and businesses to plan their future business strategies and commit the right resources in these technologies.

text: UC Irvine (7-3, 1-0) at Cal State Fullerton (3-8, 1-1), 7, Channel 56, KWRM (1370), KUCI-FM (88.9) -- Fullerton center Pape Sow goes before a university hearing board this afternoon in an effort to be reinstated to the team. If successful, he could be in uniform tonight. Sow was suspended Dec. 17 and pleaded guilty last week to his second misdemeanor offense for shoplifting. Sow can avoid jail time by performing 30 days of community service. Without the NBA prospect from Senegal, injury-riddled Fullerton will suit up seven scholarship players and two walk-ons against the Anteaters, who have won seven of eight games. The latest Titan to fall was guard Derick Andrews, who injured his right elbow in Fullerton's improbable 57-55 overtime victory at UC Santa Barbara on Saturday. He is listed as questionable.
