The MAX return into service
It is in September that Boeing plans to submit its latest B737MAX modifications to the FAA. In this text, we
After a busy month of June for Quebec's aerospace and air transport industries, July is looking much quieter as everything is idling during the summer vacations.
Now that Bombardier has completed the sale of its latest loss-making aircraft program, a financial update is required. This will happen either in July or August and Bombardier's balance sheet is expected to improve. Our attention will focus on the backlog of business jets to see if the Global 7500 continues to pull it up.
It is from the USA that we expect the most important and disturbing news for the global aerospace industry in July, while Boeing will have important announcements about the B737MAX. The return into service of the MAX before April 2020 seems less and less likely.
A big month of June in perspective: the AeroSalon, the negotiations between Air Canada and Transat AT, the Paris Air Show, the negotiations between the IAMAW and Toulouse are on the agenda.
Year 2019 is at risk of being remembered for the lowest sales of new aircrafts in the past ten years. Le Bourget 2019 is likely to be very quiet for new orders; if there is a big announcement this year during the great annual aeronautical fair, it may come from strategic alliances.
For my part, I intend to follow closely the Quebec delegation and keep you informed of the latest developments.
Following the announcement of Bombardier's financial results on May 2, there will be Air Canada on May 6, ADM on May 8 and CAE on May 17. It is a busy month, especially since there will be the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva from May 21st to 23rd.
If it is smaller than the NBAA, its American counterpart, EBACE is the event in business aviation with the largest number of decision-makers, making it the perfect place to introduce new products. Several rumors concern Pratt & Whitney Canada whose most advanced projects could be revealed.
Immediately after EBACE, the Aéro Salon will be held on June 1st and 2nd at Saint-Hubert Airport. The return of an air show in the Montreal area is a good thing for the aerospace industry. It is to be hoped that the weather helps to make this show a success.
From May 5th to May 11th, I will be joining a group of aerospace journalists in Bangkok, Thailand where we will have the opportunity to get familiar with the aerospace industry in this country. The busy schedule of this organized visit leaves little time for writing texts but I hope to be able to produce some during this stay.
When I started covering the aerospace and air transport industry in 2014, my goal was to talk about aircraft; I was far from suspecting that I would have to cover so many commercial and industrial intrigues. But since then, the Hollywood scenarios follow one another and the twists and turns are often spectacular.
The two tragedies that killed 346 people involving the B737MAX8 remind us that planes are first designed, assembled, maintained and operated by organizations where the human is responsible for everything. Therefore, human factors are still the root cause of air tragedies and I hope that international civil aviation will be able to draw the right conclusions from these two tragedies to improve aviation safety as it has always done in the past.
The month of April is a big change for Les Ailes du Québec and for myself because the site now becomes my main occupation; this means I will have more time to cover our aerospace industry and inform you about what is happening here.
We are also launching our first advertising campaign developed in-house. Our first client is the Vermont aerospace cluster, which is part of the state's Chamber of Commerce. Aéro Montréal and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce have an agreement to develop collaboration between the two clusters; it is to encourage Canadian companies to participate in the Vermont Supply Chain Summit in September that the Vermont Chamber of Commerce has granted us this mandate.
A new collaborator will join us in April, Gregory Blanc, who is a graduate of the ÉNA in aircraft maintenance; he is a specialized trainer in gas turbine as well as in human factors.
He is the founder of Mentor Aero, providing training and technical support and working with MRO companies as well as small and medium operators; the range of PW100 engines has no secret for him. He will have his page on our site called "Gregory's corner" where he will focus on the dissemination of technical content.
Rumors of new projects at Pratt & Whitney Canada are multiplying these days. We're watching it closely, but we're not expecting further announcements in April unless information leaks gain momentum. It is most likely in Geneva in May at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE), that Pratt will make its important announcements.
In April, we should know the financial results of the first quarter of Air Canada; it is at this point that we will have a more precise idea of the impacts of the withdrawal of the B737MAX8 from the fleet.
Bombardier is also scheduled to release its financial results in April and it is also during this month that the transaction with Longview Aviation Capital is expected to be completed allowing the transfer of ownership of the Q400 aircraft program.
From September 2018 to January 2019, Montréal-Trudeau's average international passenger growth was 14.2%. Given that at this time of the year it is mostly sun destinations that are popular, Air Transat is expected to show very good results for its quarter covering the months of November, December and January. We should also know a little more about the arrival of the first A321NEO and A321LR in the Air Transat fleet; hope that Airbus has not accumulated further delays.
It has already been several weeks since the calls for tender for the $ 2 billion expansion project at Montréal-Trudeau were received and they are currently in the analysis phase; an announcement of the project selected in March is not impossible, otherwise it will be in April on the occasion of the annual general meeting.
The Annual General Meeting of the Saint-Hubert-Montréal Airport Branch will be held by the end of the month in order to proceed with the appointment of the new members of the Board of Directors and to renew the mandate of those who remain. The new board will hear the study on the construction of a passenger terminal in Saint-Hubert. They will then have to choose a date for its disclosure to the general public.
In March, Bombardier should be able to provide more details on the specifications of the CRJ-550. It would be surprising that by the time of the Paris Air Show in June, Bombardier be able to convince Delta and American to release the feather Mont Blanc to sign an order, but in Paris everything is possible.
On February 4, IAMAW will present a document that profiles Canada's aerospace industry and its recommendations for a long-term industry policy. Not surprisingly, many of the IAMAW's recommendations are supported by employer organizations, as there seems to be a consensus in the industry, especially around the need for a National Aerospace Policy.
February is the month of quarterly results for several aerospace companies; Héroux-Devtek will start the ball on February 7th followed the next day by CAE. The following week we will have Bombardier's annual results on the 14th and Air Canada on the 15th.
In the last quarter, Héroux-Devtek was on track for annual growth in the range of 6% to 7% for annual sales between $ 460 M and $ 460 M and all indications are that it will stay the course until the end of the year.
On the CAE side, it is the finalization of the purchase of Bombardier's pilot training activities that should receive attention. For its other activities, we do not expect anything new as CAE is not known for surprise announcements.
After the unexpected news of the sale of the Q400 program and the cuts made in the third quarter, we must expect a quieter day for Bombardier. It is on the backlog side of the business jet division that we will focus our attention. With the Global 7500 now certified and in operation, it should have a ripple effect on sales.
Based on traffic statistics for Canadian airports, Air Canada is expected to experience a very good fourth quarter in terms of occupancy. The early winter in the east of Canada has certainly helped fill flights to sun destinations. It will be interesting to see if the airline has been able to take advantage of the lower price of fuel.
A new year begins and here are some topics to watch for in 2019.
Bombardier is expected to make a big splash in January as the first confirmation of job cuts is expected before the end of the month. We will have to see which categories of jobs will be most affected and how quickly the companies in the aerospace cluster will be able to rehire the workers concerned.
Aéro Montréal joins its voice with the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada to establish a long-term vision and convince the various federal political parties of the need for a strategic plan for the industry. It should be noted that in Quebec, all stakeholders agree on the need for a long-term plan and vision; all that remains is the federal government to convince. So this is something we should hear about before the election is called next fall.
The future of the CRJ program should make headlines a few times; if Bombardier announces its intention to continue in the area of regional aircraft, it will have a great deal of difficulty reversing the current perception that it will be leaving the sector for good.
The launch of the production of the Global 7500 and the end of the certification campaign of the Global 5500 and 6500 should allow Bombardier Business Aircraft to make headlines for good reasons.
The certification of the PW812D for the Falcon 6X continues and the next big news for the PW800 family could come this summer; if competitor Safran's Silvercrest engine still does not meet its promises, Cessna will have to opt for the PW800 or drop the Hemispher aircraft program altogether. In January, Pratt & Whitney Canada is expected to unveil the acquisition of a Dash-8-100 and its intended use.
As the production of the Bell 505 has reached its cruising speed, it will be necessary to monitor whether the pace is maintained in order to know how the sales are going. In the first half of 2019, the Bell 505 is expected to exceed 200 deliveries, a slowdown would be an indication that the order book is starting to run out.
The year 2019 will mark the return of a major air show in the Montreal area while the ÉNA will hold its air show on June 1st and 2nd.

Everyone's heard of the Olympics. But the Commonwealth Games, an international, multi-sport event, get far less media coverage in the United States.
Like the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games are held every four years, with a rotating host nation. However, participant nations must be part of the Commonwealth of Nations, a federation of countries that were formerly British colonies.
By all accounts, the United States should be a participant in these games. Nearly all former British colonies, including now sovereign nations, take part in the Games.
America's pride in her independence, however, has kept us from ever competing, which explains the lack of mainstream media coverage of the event.
This year's Commonwealth Games are scheduled to begin on October 3, and are hosted in New Delhi, India.
Much like the Beijing Olympics did for China, the Commonwealth Games are supposed to reinvent India's image and celebrate India's emergence into the 21st century.
But from the very start, the Games have been plagued with one crisis after another.
Participant nations are threatening to pull out of the even because of unsafe conditions for athletes. Rumors of graft and corruption, an outbreak of dengue fever, heavy monsoon rains, and traffic chaos all threaten to derail the Games.
Scotland, New Zealand, England, and Canada have voiced concerns over the standard of living for the more the 6,000 athletes prepared to participate in the Games.
Portions of the sporting village have been declared uninhabitable, lacking furnishings, covered in rubble, and infested with vermin.
India is attempting, in a frenzy of last minute preparation, to finish construction of various athletic and housing facilities. The rush, however, is imposing dangerous conditions on workers.
On September 21, 23 people, mainly construction workers, were injured by the collapse of a footbridge under construction to the main Games stadium collapsed. Another disaster followed immediately, when a portion of the ceiling caved in on the main Commonwealth Games stadium the next day.
With the deadline on October 3 looming, it remains to be seen if India can improve conditions and pull through with negotiations to keep big ticket athletes in the Games.
If last minute preparations are unsuccessful, it is possible that the event may have to be cancelled, which would be a heavy blow to India's image and world standing.

Chest, Tri and Ab Workout
For women (kinda)
Poor loving husband. He got dragged into another workout with me, and this time one that I am featuring as a "for women workout".
However, to be honest any gender can do this. It's just that 90% of my audience are women, so I tend to cater to the masses.
This upper body workout for women (kinda) compliments the workout I released last week, Back, Biceps & Abs.
To really tone the upper body I suggest performing each, once a week, and then also doing a total body workout (that includes upper body exercises), and a leg workout.
Then BOOM in a few weeks you will start the reaping the benefits of all of your hard work.Workout. Eat well. Be patient. Your body will reward you. #truth Click To Tweet

Sunrise in a creek bed with the little boy who turned one.
"I go to nature to be soothed and healed and to have my senses put in order."-Annonymous
Because in the long days where night seems far and many times so very dark, sleep separated by soothing, this is where the good stuff is. Because this is where the deepest companionship is found, in the sacrifice of parenting. Because this is where adventure is made, in the mundane, when teaching another to live makes hearts come to life. And so, we met in the creek bed where rising light danced across the dew, and holding their son they listened to the birdsongs and filled his eyes with wonder. And together we celebrated the richness of their year, and how twelve months has changed them, but only for the better.

Elephants have thrived for 50 million years in the forests and grasslands of Africa.
But these iconic creatures could be lost in little more than a decade due to a poaching bloodbath, an expert claims.
Conservationist Dr Dame Daphne Sheldrick revealed an elephant is being killed every 15 minutes in Africa to supply an insatiable and unsustain-able demand for ivory.
From her charity's base in Nairobi National Park, she said: "Today is World Elephant Day but in 12 years' time there may not be any elephants left in Africa to celebrate.
"A world without elephants is hard to comprehend, but it is a real possibility. Against a submachine gun or poacher armed with a spear, they stand little chance."
About 36,000 elephants in Africa were slaughtered last year despite a ban on ivory.
They fall victim to highly organised and well-armed gangs. In Kenya, 162 elephants out of a population of 35,000 were killed by poachers between January and July.
Ivory is in soaring demand in the Far East for trinkets.
Dame Daphne, 79, said that in just two raids last month Kenyan authorities seized 4.5 tons of ivory.
In Hong Kong at the same time, Customs obtained more than 1,100 tusks.
Dame Daphne, who heads the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust named after her late husband, said captured contra-band is thought to equate to just 10 per cent of actual smuggling. She picks up the pieces of this grisly trade by helping orphaned elephants. More....

The 20-Something Girl Update/
Oh how I have missed you all! I am so sorry that I have not been very active on rachaelclairesf recently but things were pretty hectic after returning home from Europe and I think that I just needed to take some time for myself. But, I am very excited about the next chapter so I wanted to give you a quick update on what I have been up to for the last month!
Over the long Labor Day Weekend, we went to Mexico with two families that are some of our closest friends! We had the best time eating too many tacos, inventing our own cocktails at the beach bar and of course lounging on our obnoxiously large pool floats! One of my favorite memories was teaching the parents how to play Cards Against Humanity… I'm sure you can imagine how that went.
I also turned 23!! I was out of town for work on my actual birthday so my parents hosted a big end of summer/rachael's birthday pizza party in our backyard (check out my guide to making homemade pizza here.) Its so funny but this was the first birthday that it kind of hit me that I'm growing up. So of course my friend Lauren and I took that to mean it was time to celebrate our birthdays at a Spa in Napa haha… more on that magical day later.
As some of you know, I have been working at a smart home start-up in Northern California called Roost. I absolutely love what I am doing, (digital marketing, helping with product launches, social media and getting to travel all over the US to different trade shows.) My favorite part of working at a start-up is getting to see a product come to life up close and personal, from the moment it was thought up, to seeing it on the shelves.
But at the end of the day, I think that I am looking to work at a company that is a little bit more established. Everyone at Roost has been so incredible by helping me get as much experience with them as I possibly can before moving on to a larger company. Since I traveled so much this summer, I wasn't ready to commit to a job, but now that I am home, I'm ready to go! A lot of my free time recently has been spent looking for my next opportunity and I couldn't be more excited.
So, what's next?
Million Dollar Question!! No, just kidding. I have some pretty exciting trips coming up to the Wine Country, to the mountains for my grandmothers 90th birthday (!!) and also back to Wake for my first homecoming as a college grad. I am also getting ready for the rest of September and all of October here in Northern California. I haven't spent this part of the year in California for the past four years and I have missed our beautiful falls. What a lot of people don't realize who aren't from this part of the country is that September and October are actually our prettiest months weather wise. All of the vineyards turn a gorgeous shade of yellow and the fog finally disappears from our coastline. So I am planning to take full advantage of my first fall back home with all of my girlfriends before some of us move our separate ways for work.
I hope that all of you are doing well! I'll be back again soon, I promise.

Aim to understand that all of history is a preparation to receive the Messiah
a) to understand that all of history is a preparation to receive the Messiah
b) to know that the parallels in history show us when Christ will return
* Outline of the Principle Level 4. chapter 16 – The Second Coming
* Bible passages – Matthew 24:36, Amos 3:7
* Picture cards of time periods
* children's worksheet
Lesson Outline
1. What the Bible Says
2. God's Plan
3. History is repeated
4. Worksheet
5. Conclusion
6. Prayer
1) What the Bible Says
How do we know that today is the time when Christ will return, and a new Messiah appear? First, We can learn about this from what it says in the Bible.
Matthew 24:36 – Jesus said "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Amos 3:7 – Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
From this we can understand that God will reveal His plan to prepared people, when the time is right.. What is God's plan?
2) God's Plan
* To fulfill God's original purpose to build the ideal world, the failure of the first Adam must be restored by a new Adam, the Messiah. Therefore,the whole of history is guided by God's plan to send the Messiah. Man's responsibility is to make a foundation to receive the him Israel
* Israel was the chosen nation to receive the Messiah, starting in the family of Jacob. It took 2,000 years for God to prepare the people of Israel, but when Jesus appeared they did not believe him and the whole foundation was lost.
* Then God chose Christianity to be the second Israel. The history of Christianity for the last 2,000 years has been to restore the lost foundation to receive the Messiah. The history of Israel and Christianity together have many similarities because they are guided by the same purpose, to make a foundation to receive the Messiah. By studying these histories we can see that today is the time of Christ's return.
3) History is Repeated
The history of Israel from Jacob to Jesus (the Old Testament Age), was divided into six major periods:
1) The Period of Slavery in Egypt
2) The Period of Judges
3) The Period of the United Kingdom
4) The Period of the Divided Kingdoms of North and South
5) The Period of Jewish Captivity and Return
6) The Period of Preparation for the Messiah.
These six periods totaled 1930 years.
Likewise, the history of Christianity from Jesus until today (the New Testament Age), is divided into six major periods:
1) Persecution in the Roman Empire
2) Christian Churches under the Patriarchal system
3) Christian Kingdom
4) Divided Kingdoms of East and West
5) Papal Captivity and Return
6) Preparation for the Second Coming of the Messiah.
These six periods also totaled 1930 years.
Then, is 1930 the precise year the Messiah was born? The year cannot be pinpointed so exactly because a difference of up to ten years often happened. For example, Persecution in the Roman Empire was not exactly 400 years, but actually lasted only until 392 A.D. Likewise, Preparation for the Second Coming began with the Reformation in 1517 and ended four hundred years later. Based on this, the Second Coming should have occurred in 1917. Thus the birth of Christ should have taken place somewhere between 1917 and 1930.
4) Activities
* Complete the worksheet
* Put cards in correct order to reinforce time periods
* Plat the memory game to reinforce time periods
6) Conclusion
To conclude ask each person what they could learn from today's lesson. Refer to the lesson aims:
a) to understand that all of history is a preparation to receive the Messiah
b) to know that the parallels in history show us when Christ will return
7) End with a Prayer

Durban's World Class mixologist to represent KZN in the National Finals.
Durban mixologist, Haroon Haffajee, was the winner of the regional final of the Diageo Reserve WORLD CLASS Bartender of the Year 2013 at Luna Rossa earlier this week, in which the city's best mixologists went head to head to shake their creative blends.Haffajee, who works at Harvey's restaurant in Innes Road, Morningside, was crowned the winner of the regional championship and will represent KZN along with runner-up, Steven Saunders also from Harvey's restaurant, in the national finals of the competition to be held at Durban's Endless Horizons Hotel later this month in a bid to become South Africa's WORLD CLASS representative.Using only the finest liquids and exceptional ingredients, Diageo Reserve's WORLD CLASS competition has come to be known as the World Cup of the cocktail world.

Sandra Day O'Connor expresses regret about court's role in 2000 election` →
"Obviously the court did reach a decision and thought it had to reach a decision," she said. "It turned out the election authorities in Florida hadn't done a real good job there and kind of messed it up. And probably the Supreme Court added to the problem at the end of the day."
Just in time.

You know that feeling when you need some new music but everything you find sounds stale? Well, 808INK solve this problem with a raucous assault on the orthodox. Producer 808Charmer's deep beats are often layered with synth lines that sound like they exist solely to put the listener on edge. Still, throughout their latest release, Billy's Home, the duo also demonstrate a knack for crafting grooves that are easy on the ears.
Rapper Mumblez Black addresses London's ills with refreshing honesty, reflecting the anger that's bubbling among much of the city's youth at the moment. The capital has a rich history of assertion in the face of authority, captured in genres such as punk and grime and while 808Ink embody much of these two subcultures, they aren't afraid to mix things up with slow jams and melodic intervals to demonstrate the extent of their artistic capabilities. Tracks like 'Crooked.Bad' fuse the angry with the soulful, with the outcome a blend of hip-hop that sounds like nothing else currently coming out of Britain.
All music is recorded in a South London garage, while visuals are taken care of by artist Pure Anubis. Artwork seems to be an important element of the outfit; their Facebook page is adorned with a Sex Pistols-esque defaced image of the Queen and an array of high-end production videos accompany their tracks. The artwork accompanying Billy's Home shows that like the punk acts before them, 808INK don't give a fuck.
Having self-released two albums already, these guys are successfully bringing their own style to the UK hip-hop scene and we love it.

"Have you ever thought about what it would be like to see ADHD through your child's eyes? To be in their shoes and have some idea of what they go through every day?"
Imagine. Just for a minute…
You've set time aside to kick back, relax and watch your favorite TV program. This is the one show you look forward to each week. You sit down, snack in hand and prepare to enjoy the next hour.
Just as you get deep into a program, the cable glitches up. Not once, not twice but every 45 seconds or so. At first, a couple of times is okay, then it becomes persistent.
Aggravating, isn't it?
You're trying to stay focused on your show but the intermittent interruptions keep you distracted and irritated.
Or how about that amazing outdoor summer family get-together. It's a wonderfully warm day, the sun's shining, the grill's going and everyone is having a great time. Then the sun begins to set. And…the mosquitoes come out.
You're trying to carry on a conversation but you keep getting sidetracked by a pesky blood-sucker. The first few times you brush it away, no big deal. Then you find you can no longer hold your focus on the conversation because you're completely caught up in the act of trying to put an end to this buzzing irritation.
Frustrating, isn't it?
Now, imagine that occurring ALL. THE. TIME!
This is just a glimpse of what it's like for your ADHD child. Unfortunately, they can't change the channel or go inside to get away from these temporary diversions. For them, there is no escaping these day-in and day-out distractions.
What your ADHD child goes through is minute by minute internal challenges. Challenges that follow them wherever they go. Like the challenge to maintain focus, or curb impulsive actions, or to calm down, or to ____________(fill in the blank).
My point is, their mind can't escape the deluge of incoming information. They are uniquely wired. They can't simply turn off the overwhelming sensory distractions or the relentless impulsivity. All that information, compounded by expected behavior, becomes a daily frustrating and exhausting obstacle course. Leading to complete mental fatigue for an already overwhelmed child.
Knowing what your ADHD child goes through is important!
It's so important to know how they feel and what they are aware of.
Even though an ADHD child may not fully understand all the aspects or medical jargon on what ADHD is, they know and are aware of more than you might think.
Take, for example, some of the things they do know…
- It is easy to upset and disappoint the adults around them.
- The way they behave is different from the way their friends behave.
- That making and keeping friends is hard. And sometimes they're lonely.
- They know how they should act. But they can't fully control their actions.
- Following the rules is tough. Getting angry and upset with them doesn't help.
- Completing a task is their goal too, they just get easily distracted.
- Remembering can be REALLY difficult. Nagging doesn't help.
- They try really hard all the time but don't always feel like they're successful.
- Being in trouble is not something they enjoy.
- Doing things the wrong way isn't something they do on purpose.
Surprise! They want their behavior to change too!
When it comes right down to it, the single most important thing for an ADHD child is to be understood by the people that are closest to them. And, for those people to have some understanding of just what it takes to be them.
So the next time you become frustrated with your ADHD child…
Just remember the irritating mosquito or the glitchy cable program.
When you do, you'll begin to relate (even in the smallest way) to what your child goes through every day. Eventually, you will see just how your child's mind works, making it easier to understand the struggle.
You see, it's important to your child that you see them—not their ADHD. Once you begin to see beyond their ADHD, you will get to know the amazing child within.
And…your child will truly appreciate the time you took to "put the shoe on the other foot."

A Night at the Museum
An AGM worth attending
A packed year
Impressive, memorable, enjoyable are not words naturally linked with AGMs but they can truthfully be attached to aspects of the Rye Museum Association's AGM on Thursday, 27th July, in particular the Chairman's report, the follow-up talk by Dr Geoffrey Mead on Aspects of the South Downs National Park, and the chance, over wine and nibbles, to share memories triggered and ideas for further events with other members
Our indefatigable chairman, Jo Kirkham, romped through a packed recall of the year's many achievements and events which left the audience wondering how so much could be accomplished by an organisation dependent on volunteers and donations for so much of its work. A listing of the scores of regulations, investigations and documents now required to meet national health and safety, legal and insurance standards elicited not only amusement but awe as we realised the hours of work by dedicated officers and helpers and the pages of completed forms required to 'tick all the boxes' and keep our top accreditation rating. Triggering memories and increasing the pride and awe was a quick review of some of the year's projects and activities – the popular talks series; children's craft and adult cakes-and-curiosities afternoons; coffee mornings, fairs and parties; preparing, arranging and cleaning display cases; producing a Journal; organising a medieval conference of national interest; contributing to the Rye Arts Festival — all in addition to the daily stewarding at our Ypres Tower and the weekend openings plus events at our East Street Museum. Many – most? – of those in the room had helped make all these things happen and are likely to have been inspired to do more.
Visit the South Downs
While most in the audience have some familiarity with the South Downs fewer knew much of the story behind its becoming the South Downs National Park, a fascinating tale briskly told with pertinent illustrations by geographer and Rye Museum Trustee Dr Geoffrey Mead of Sussex University. The idea of a South Downs National Park goes back to the 1920s, when public concern was mounting about increasing threats (e.g. ploughed fields and speculative housing development) to the beautiful downland environment, yet it was the last of the 12 national parks to be officially designated as such – in 2011. Stretching 87 miles across southern England, it includes both distinctive chalk downland and a diverse landscape of densely wooded hills and vales, as well as important rivers, settlements and burial sites dating back over 5000 years, mixed farm land, coastal habitats, special treats for nature lovers, museums . . . .
It is a story of changing attitudes too – fear of 'the dangerous wild' becoming love of the countryside — thanks to the coming of railways, time and money enabling easier travel (and escape from London), cycling and walking clubs, Ordnance Survey maps . . . . The South Downs Way, a trail for thousands of years, is safely contained within the Park, passing through an extraordinary range of contrasting views and habitats appealing to – and encouraging interest in — geology, history and varied wildlife. Our speakers are known for stimulating both local exploration and research!

Studying From The Terrific Piano Lesson Guide
On the commencing of the piano lesson guide, there should really be considered a area of data that will educate you regarding the piano and all its quite a few elements before you decide to even begin to engage in msi dallas. Knowing this information and facts will not likely only help you realize the piano, but also develop an appreciation for that incredible instrument. When paying for your very first piano lesson reserve seek out sections that come with the next:
About the piano, unique types of pianos, and exactly how the piano performs. I especially appreciated studying how the piano labored. Do you know that little hammers in fact make the sounds of a piano? These hammers strike distinctive sizing strings in the piano and thickness of those people strings is what produces the high and very low appears. Ever puzzled how the pedals affect the appears of the piano? Inside the "About the Piano" section, it really should describe this in terrific depth. I figured out that the appropriate pedal also known as the sustaining pedal does just that. It retains notes lengthier than typical. A lot of people consider this pedal will make the piano observe louder, nevertheless it truly just holds the notice more time. You will really have to discover a terrific piano lesson guide to learn what the other pedals are for.
Additionally to finding out concerning the piano you may also wish to understand how you can care for the piano. What is the use in paying out all that income with a wonderful instrument in the event you wreck it mainly because you under no circumstances realized how to treatment for it? In piano lesson e-book I bought the Caring to your Piano area provided how you can check in case the piano is in superior problem and most importantly must you play with a piano which includes broken parts. This guide counsel which you can begin to master providing all of the center keys to the piano are doing the job adequately, but you will need to get the damaged keys mounted so as to take pleasure in a terrific music while you getter superior at actively playing the instrument.
An incredible piano lesson e-book should really also contain the way to tune your instrument or fairly how to find a fantastic tuner for your personal instrument. I uncovered that a piano should really be tuned to "concert pitch" and it ought to be tuned two instances a year at minimum amount and 3 moments for just a high quality problem. With out understanding these things you could get cheated by someone that recognizes that you choose to know almost nothing regarding your instrument. They could tune it incorrectly or even worse demand you much more for added and pointless tunings. When you have tuned your piano and manufactured any repairs vital learn to deal with your piano effectively. The piano lesson book I obtained obviously defined many vital cleaning behaviors to the piano. As an example, don't use silicone wax to shine the piano home furniture or body because it might not be taken out later on or when the piano is at any time refinished. Just one exceptionally essential idea I uncovered needed to do with wherever I reside. Do you know substantial humidity leads to harm to your strings? I'd personally have never guessed that getting a piano in Florida would call for me to wish a dehumidifier. And even in the event you are now living in a local weather that has remarkable weather conditions variations. Strategies such as this help save a huge selection of pounds in repairs…Each of the much more reason to look for a great piano lesson reserve.
Also, should you be planning to buy a piano you might want to discover a fantastic piano lesson reserve that includes this details. I prepared on learning on my grandmothers so there was no want to acquire a different piano appropriate from the bat, although the piano lesson e book I obtained experienced 6 specific web pages on locating a good piano at a fantastic price tag as well as what to take a look at when inspecting a prospective piano for yourself.
Now that there is a superior knowledge in the piano and the way to get just one its time to look for a piano lesson guide that could do a fantastic career instructing you to perform. Now, I am able to not vouch for each and every book out there, but one particular point which i have discovered in popular with just about every piano lesson e book is they include things like images. Some are improved than other folks plus some publications are illustrated for youngsters. Now, I recognize the pictures, but I do not need a piano lesson reserve which will make me really feel or search juvenile in my discovering. So, dependent on you age you might want to try to find a piano lesson ebook with adult content. For those who have adopted my guidance previously mentioned any e-book that features the above info is more than likely targeting adult novices. A kid's piano lesson guide will not go into just as much depth (like higher than) being an adult e book.
What will an excellent piano lesson book contain when instructing a reader tips on how to commence playing? Excellent query! The a person I discovered involves hand positioning along with the position of your respective entire body. You will need to have a stool for the correct top making sure that your forearms are horizontal using the keys. My piano lesson book has real (true earth) shots in place of drawings. Given that you already know your system position, finding a e book that teaches hand placement will likely be easy (every single piano lesson book teaches this mainly because it is so important.
Moreover to actively playing within the suitable placement your piano lesson e-book really should teach you to engage in tunes using all of your fingers, tips on how to reading music, and participating in chords. I enjoyed the sections that taught you to definitely play distinctive components for every hand. This was a bit tough to learn since your writing hand or dominant arms hopes to be dominant when actively playing the piano too.
One issue I found specifically crucial was ways to practice. For those who have by no means played an instrument ahead of, you don't have any clue how long you must apply, what to observe, or maybe if you are practicing accurately. A great piano lesson e book will instruct you all of this.
Listed here are some strategies I've picked up as I started to participate in the piano.
1. Find a thing which will encourage you to continue to keep likely. There'll be quite a few days that studying to engage in the piano goes on the again burner. If a lot of of these occur you can drop desire and quit mastering. So discover a motivator and up coming concert or expertise exhibit, a friend, what ever.
two. Routine a time to apply. If discovering to enjoy the piano gets a part of a schedule you'll have extra achievements. Enjoying the piano will develop into critical in the lifestyle since you have put aside time to do so.
3. Take your time and effort with every single lesson. My piano lesson reserve gave precise recommendations regarding how to follow. For those who full the follow and are not content with how it sounded repeat the lesson at your subsequent scheduled observe. If you can find a single detail I have learned from my piano lesson reserve its that the a person lesson builds from the previous. For those who have not mastered a preceding lesson you may not learn future lessons. In the stop, you'll have weak benefits and many very likely unfastened desire in taking part in the piano.
Given that you are aware of tips on how to play the place would you go from listed here?
The piano lesson ebook I procured has a whole section that provides recommendations on turning into a better piano player or pianist. Just after teaching the basic principles, the piano lesson e-book you select ought to contain advanced music.

In the last few weeks Cesc Fabregas has been also linked to a move to Ac Milan in the next transfer window or next summer.

Interregnum VIII: House of Lewis Wins Parliamentary Debate Tournament
Empire State Building, NEW YORK– The parliamentary debate team from the House of C.S. Lewis won the Final Debate round Friday, Mar. 30, taking first place for the debate portion of Interregnum.
The Bonhoeffer team debated on the government side of the motion, affirming that "this house would remove all state benefits to the married," and the Lewis team debated on the opposing side.
The Bonhoeffer team said the removal of state benefits would reduce taxes and encourage couples to marry for reasons nobler than finances. It also maintained that state benefits wrongfully turn marriage into a political issue, because the church, not government, should control marriage.
The Lewis team said the state exists to promote good, and since marriage is a laudable institution, state benefits function as an act of praising good within society. It also detailed the practicality of state benefits, such as their provision of visitation rights. It highlighted that financial benefits facilitate marriage for economically challenged couples.
The Bonhoeffer team's case left Lewis team member DuBois somewhat surprised. "I was expecting arguments that challenged the traditional acceptance of heterosexual, monogamous families," he said. "But I think Bonhoeffer chose a really good case."
Bonhoeffer team member Sailer said he was a "little frantic" during the round, because he lacks knowledge of advanced constitutional theory.
Nevertheless, he also felt he held his own, especially since "Greg and Josiah are scary debaters."
According to the debaters, the round seemed relatively well-matched in the areas of skill level and the nature of the motion.
Five faculty members judged the round: Provost Calvin White, Prof. Katie Teubl, Dr. David Bentley Hart, Dr. Mattew Parks and Dean of Students David Leedy.
Two teams from each House participated in the Interregnum debate tournament beginning Wednesday, Mar. 28 and continued arguing motions based on the theme of Tradition vs. Innovation until Friday, Mar. 30.
The teams paired off in rooms to debate topics including prioritizing international and minority student recruitment at King's, caring for aging parents and preferring King Arthur's rule to rule of the people.
Dr. David Tubbs, a long-time Interregnum debate judge, commented on the quality of the rounds. "I've seen steady progress through the years," he said.
In one round, debater Michael Mascitto ('15) argued against federal funding for online education, saying that online education is inferior to the traditional form and therefore should not receive federal funding.
"We should fund things we want to see grow. Online education is a lesser model of traditional education, because it hinders communication between students and teachers and makes it easier for students to cheat," he said.
In another round, Obayashi held that pro-life voters should pick a candidate who makes abortion a top priority over a candidate willing to compromise. "If we compromise, we will eventually get to the point where this issue cannot be solved peacefully," he said in support of the motion.
QE1 debated Lewis and Bonhoeffer debated Churchill in the semifinal round on Friday, March 30. They discussed the motion "this house believes that the Constitution is a living document."

Originally InNoForm was curated for Botis Seva's WildCard night, at Sadler's Wells, Lilian Baylis Theatre last year. It has been invited back but this time invading the Laban Theatre on Tuesday 19th July. Seva curates a rebellious evening that reveals hip hop theatre in a new light, bringing an immersive experience that invites the audience to question the commercialised products we have become entrenched in. Expect rude awakenings and uncensored delivery.
Through a very small opening, a rebellious witnessing unfolds. Botis Seva allows you to glance into a very different world that proposes a far less conventional vision of what is the norm.
'InNoForm' is a politically charged experience that will interrogate what you are accustomed to and why. Living in a frenzied hierarchy, our tolerant society is overthrowing any sense of peaceful harmony: a riotous outburst of primitive social order that morphs into a mob of geezers. Far From The Norm throws the audience into a disarray of experimental theatre interwoven with classical music and of course a few 'mobbish' chants.

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all of its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. (1 Cor. 12:12)
In 2013, Agape Village was conceived as the Church's response to the needs of the poor, with the aim to build a community to serve all, especially the poor, the oppressed and the afflicted, bearing in mind the multiple challenges each family faces.
Today, it stands as a four-storey building at Lorong 8, Toa Payoh. A mere six months after its opening last November, the facility is bearing the first fruits of its endeavours, with close to 200 new beneficiaries being served by multiple social and community organisations under one roof.
Combining strengths for greater care
Working in close proximity at Agape Village has facilitated staff from 13 organisations based there to coordinate their efforts and to respond more effectively.
"Previously, we were scattered across the island and it would be time consuming to set up meetings with the other organisations, wait for responses and then trek across Singapore for conferences to discuss specific cases," said Ian Ho, a social worker with Catholic Welfare Services (CWS). "Now, I can go over to the next cubicle or pop out of my office and down the stairs to speak with the other organisations."
"Locating our facilities in Agape Village has made a big difference," added Gail Dragon, who handles corporate and administrative duties at Abilities Beyond Limitations and Expectations (ABLE), which serves the physically-challenged and their caregivers. "Having the rehabilitation and respite centres located next to each other gives us the advantage to develop programmes and services where clients, care recipients and family caregivers can either participate together or separately."
Psychologist at Clarity Singapore Cynthia Yeo says she has also benefited from the advice and expertise of others at Agape Village in the course of her work, which has helped her to better care for the clients she sees.
"I can now also walk with my client down two floors for her physiotherapy appointment, after our counselling session, simply because we are co-located! It is a simple act, but an impactful one, contributing to our journey with our client."
A home for new programmes and enhanced services
The Village has also become home to some new programmes, and even organisations. One such example is Mamre Oaks, which has opened a day activity centre to serve the persons with intellectual and developmental-disabilities.
Parents and caregivers of these adults (above the age of 18) are faced with lengthy waiting lines to register their children with the few service centres here, so Mamre Oaks helps bridge this gap by providing a day activity service for them.
Joseph Lim, centre manager of the day activity centre said that "A mother of one of our member had to quit her job four years ago to take care of her daughter. She is now back to the workforce, whilst her 23 year-old daughter with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is being taken care of at our centre."
Singapore's Catholic Lawyers Guild (CLG) has found a home at Agape Village for its free legal clinic after years of working out of various Parishes without the convenient access to meeting rooms.
"Centralising our free legal clinic activities in one location has enabled us to provide better quality outreach and fewer cases have fallen through the cracks," said Francis Wong, who is a CLG committee member, responsible for legal clinic and pro bono legal representation.
Agape Village also served as temporary home for the Alzheimer's Disease Association's New Horizon Centre (Toa Payoh) while its original site underwent renovation works. It also hosts Club Rainbow, which provides tuition to students who are chronically ill, and free hair-cut services for those in need, which was initiated by Caritas Singapore.
More to Come
It does not stop here — by the end of this year, the Village's suite of offerings will expand to include a medical and dental outreach clinic run by Mount Alvernia Hospital and computer classes for senior citizens, among others.
"The past 6 months, has seen the impact of the holistic and integrated approach of Agape Village with the 13 member organisations deliver their collective impact to the beneficiaries. There is still much to do. With God's grace, and continued teamwork we will continue to build on and extend that impact," said Agape Village Management Committee chairman Teo Jin Lee.
|Holistic care
Ms Kee (not her real name), 60, is unemployed due to physical and cognitive issues. Prior to being referred to Agape Village, she depended on her family for financial assistance, suffered bouts of depression and even contemplated suicide. Fortunately, her medical social worker from the National Health Group Polyclinic connected with a social worker from CWS.
Using Agape Village's Integrated Case Management System – an IT-platform which centralises pertinent case information to help social workers, counsellors and other service providers address a person's challenges with the right care – CWS connected with ABLE and Clarity Singapore located in the Village. They were then able to collectively provide assistance to Ms Kee in the areas of mental wellness, physical rehabilitation and financial assistance all from one location. Quick intervention helped arrest Ms Kee's downward spiral and significantly improved her confidence and quality of life.
