My GPU driver is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650, and i have updatet it for 15 min ago, and my PC say that I have the latest updatet.
i know that people have had the same problem, with the earlier version, but i cant find a solution to what I can do to fix this problem.
please help, cause I am sure it is a good game:)

Muscat: The GCC bloc is looking into the Value Added Tax (VAT) but would be introduced only at a suitable time, according to Oman's Minister Responsible for Financial Affairs, Darwish Bin Esmail Al Beloushi.
"Introducing VAT in 'current condition' was not feasible," the minister said while presenting the State Budget 2013 at the ministry auditorium on Wednesday.
Speaking about taxes in Oman, he added that VAT was an ideal solution. However, he added that it would be introduced only at a "suitable time".
Meanwhile, he noted that there was a need to seriously view the fuel subsidy given by the Omani government.
Al Beloushi said that the government could possible allot the one billion riyals (Dh9.5 billion), spent on fuel subsidy, for some better purpose like training and employing young Omanis.
"The government should consider the issue in larger interest of the community," he said, adding that careful consideration is needed before deciding on fuel subsidy.
The fuel in Oman is subsidised by the government at a cost of on billion riyals annually, according to the finance minister.

UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor has revealed in a new interview that he's current in contract negotations to fight interim titleholder Tony Ferguson next.
"I've got everyone clawing at me, trying to get at me, and that's from multiple sports, multiple organizations, multiple everything," McGregor told the Independant.ie. "It's been like that for a long, long time, I feel, so it's just another day for me. I know there are many contenders in the UFC. There are many boxing contenders as well. What interests me is certainly a UFC bout, certainly a defense of my lightweight title. There is a fighter with the interim lightweight belt. I feel that will be next. We'll see how negotiations go."
McGregor then went on to talk about other potential fights that he could take instead.
"The Diaz trilogy is also there. I can defend my belt against Nate. Maybe we can persuade one of these boxing opponents to step into the Octagon, or there's also boxing bouts as well. So, there's so many options."
UFC President Dana White has already gone on record with his belief that the Ferguson fight has to be next though, and it seems that McGregor agrees with that assessment.
"I feel to legitimize the belt — there's an interim champion, I'm the unified champion — I feel that will be next. We are currently in contract negotiations, and we'll see where it goes."

We have had some questions about initial SLD evaluations for students who are already in Special Education. Here are guidelines from the DPI Technical Assistance Guide:
Other Impairments
A student who has been identified with a Cognitive Disability (CD) cannot also be identified with a Specific Learning Disability. Students with cognitive disabilities exhibit significant delays in measured intelligence, adaptive functioning, and academic functioning. A student's level of adaptive functioning is a central consideration when determining the impairment of cognitive
SLD may co-exist with sensory and motor impairments (hearing, vision, orthopedic), Other Health Impairment (OHI) and Emotional Behavioral Disability (EBD). However, for a student to be found eligible as having SLD, other impairments such as these may not be the primary reason for the finding of inadequate classroom achievement or insufficient progress.
Speech and Language and SLD
In order for a student to meet SLD eligibility criteria because of inadequate classroom achievement and insufficient progress in oral expression or listening comprehension, the difficulty must be demonstrated in academic functioning and result in the student not making sufficient progress. When oral expression and/or listening comprehension are being considered as part of an SLD evaluation, the SLD rule does not require that a speech/language pathologist be a member of the IEP team. However, it is strongly recommended that a speech/language pathologist be included on the IEP team whenever language related concerns are being evaluated. A speech and language pathologist must be a member of the IEP team if speech and language impairment is also being considered as part of the evaluation.
IEP teams must consider all suspected areas of disability, and may find that a student has both speech and language impairment and Specific Learning Disability. To be identified with both impairments, the student must meet all eligibility criteria for each area of impairment and have a need for special education services in each area
IEP Team Evaluation
When a student is referred for an initial evaluation or when a student who has been receiving special education is reevaluated, specific steps must be followed regardless of the suspected impairment. The term "initial SLD evaluation" refers to the first time an IEP team considers SLD, even if this consideration is part of a special education reevaluation for a student previously identified with another impairment, or if the student was evaluated previously for SLD and was not found eligible. The term "reevaluation" assumes the student was previously identified by an IEP team as a student with the impairment of SLD and a need for special education. Consideration of the SLD criteria begins when an initial referral is made and continues as the IEP team answers the evaluation questions.
Evaluation Process
IEP teams will still need to do weekly progress monitoring, two evidence based interventions, additional substantial number of instructional minutes, observations (classroom and during intensive intervention), classroom achievement assessment, and data analyzing as an initial SLD evaluation process even if student is currently in special education under another impairment.
Please contact me for more information. We can also discuss more at upcoming building special education meetings.

Meet our New Coordinator
1. Can you introduce yourself?
I am Patrick Kumbukani Bwanali, the fourth born child in a family of eight. I come from Thyolo district. I am married with two daughters, Neema and Nancy. I celebrate my birthday on the 15th of March each year. I am now 35 years old.
2. Your Education background
Currently, I am a holder of a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Mass Communication which I obtained from ShareWorld Open University in Blantyre.
3. Tell us about your work experience?
I worked with Montfort Media for 12 years before I joined Andiamo Education Institutions. During that period, I was a Lithographer and later a Sub-Editor of Together Youth magazine.
4. Now you are a Coordinator of Andiamo Education Institutions (AEI), what can you say about the place, have you met any challenges?
AEI is a nice place one MUST like at all cost. It is a place to live and grow. I wouldn't call what I have met as challenges per se but a test of my growth as an individual and as an institution.
5. What made you switch your career from being a journalist to a teacher?
To be honest, I don't know what made me change. All I can say is that I am happy here. In my first job I was writing for people who could read and write. Now I must make other people read and write.
6. What could be the role of teachers in improving education standard in the country?
As teachers, we have a duty to make sure that we produce the best out of the meagre resources that we have as a country. As Fr. Mario once told me, it is no longer a job but a mission. We should try as much as we can, to be role models. Students should be able to see in us more the services we provide first than the money we get at the end of the month.
7. Being in a position of a Coordinator now, do you think you will bring a change in education sector with your past experience as a journalist?
If I start thinking of myself as a change, I feel that I am going to fail. WE are the change. Together, we shall make AEI light of this part of Malawi and indeed the whole of Malawi.
8. How did you feel when you got the news that all the Form 2s had passed exams at Andiamo Secondary School?Honestly, I felt humbled. I thought of all people who made this possible. I am talking of the owners of the school (Andiamo Youth Cooperative Trust), volunteers from Italy, teachers, guardians and the students themselves. We wanted to have a school. We have one. A school is known for its results. Our first results have been good. I have a feeling that this is all what we wanted.
9. As the institutions have started with full capacity, what measures have been put in place to make sure the good reputation of the institution is maintained? (Any plans)
We are just here to fulfill the objectives of AYCT. You know that one of the pillars of AYCT is education. We must always try as much as possible to fulfill this objective of the cooperative. If we do better, Andiamo has fulfilled one of its objectives.
10. You were writing "Shokere" column in Mkwaso Newspaper which was popular among the readers of the news, are they going to continue enjoying it again?
"Shokere" was there to both entertain and educate. I think I entertained when I was writing that column. Unfortunately, because of other problems I cannot continue writing the column. On the education part, I still have the book. Those who want to learn something from the book, they can ask for one.
11. In 2010 you wrote a book "Shokere", Should people expect another book in near future?
Shortly we shall embark on a big project to write a book about Andiamo. We are hopeful that the book will be out in 2014 when we shall be celebrating 30 years of AYCT. It is the dream of the founders of AYCT that the book should be in both English and Italian.
12. What is your secret for success?
I believe that a person is a person through other people. If I have succeeded, I believe it is because of other people. I have learned then that respecting other people is the only way to success.
13. What can you say to those who want to join teaching?
It is a call. It is fulfilling. Ask yourself if REALLY you want to become a teacher. If you REALLY want, you will enjoy. I have always wanted to become a teacher.

More about Steiner India
Sustainable development contains three equally important aspects: ecology, social issues and economy. For project development, this means that we are already involved in promoting sustainable sites in the selection of properties. Flexible layouts, a good mixture of users, a high aesthetic standard and low life cycle costs are additional criteria. We recommend planning and realising all buildings according to recognised or international sustainability Labels.
And we manage these processes competently from the planning stage to completion of the project until receipt of the respective certification. We emphasise tried-and-tested constructions made of environmentally compatible materials and – when possible and reasonable – using local resources. We specify ecologically compatible materials in invitations to tender. And we pay attention to perfect, professional work in the realisation. Because buildings certified as sustainable guarantee their value. Now and in the future.
We further our goal of acting sustainably and being an environmentally and socially aware company by supporting charitable activities. Every year, as part of a Christmas donations campaign, Steiner AG employees choose a socially useful project that they want to assist by making a voluntary donation. Steiner then doubles the amount raised. We were thus able to donate significant sums to the "123 Burkina" charity in 2016, to "Stiftung Theodora" in 2017 and to "Rèves Suisse" in 2018.
After Hindustan Construction Company Ltd. (HCC) acquired a majority interest in Steiner in 2010, Steiner Group continues with the same high degree of reliability and competence that Steiner has always offered as a partner in addressing the full spectrum of real estate development and total contractor services.
Steiner AG celebrated its centenary in 2015 and has taken this as an opportunity to launch a microsite. This site offers exciting insights into the company's eventful history.

Re: Separate Public IP Rangeslevi Jun 28, 2012 1:51 PM (in response to jhouse)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Thank you for asking this question in the support community. Based on the information provided that the traffic is/isn't tagged, it appears the ISP is looking for a trunk port with VLANs. The ISP will need to provide you with which VLAN ID should be assigned to each IP address range they provide you. This type of configuration is explained in the Configuring Enhanced Ethernet Quality of Service (QoS) in AOS document.
Below is a basic example configuration for this type of application:
interface eth 0/1
encapsulation 802.1q
no shutdown
interface eth 0/1.100
vlan-id 100 native
ip address <ip address> <subnet mask>
no shutdown
interface eth 0/1.200
vlan-id 200
ip address <ip address> <subnet mask>
no shutdown
I hope that makes sense, but please do not hesitate to reply to this post if you have any additional information or questions. I will be happy to help in any way I can.
Re: Separate Public IP Rangesjhouse Jul 6, 2012 10:53 AM (in response to levi)
Thanks Levi; that helped a lot.
Now I'm stuck on something else:
The original IP range we were given is on eth 0/2.10. The main IP for that interface is X.X.202.66, while 202.67-70 are setup as secondary IP's. The default route is 202.65.
The new IP range is on eth 0/2.20. The main IP for that interface is X.X.203.2, with 203.3-14 as secondary IP's. The default route is 203.1.
The LAN is on eth 0/1. Its IP is 192.168.101.1/24.
There are some NAT rules that forward traffic from X.X.202.70 to 192.168.101.28, and traffic from 101.28 goes back to the Internet from 202.70.
I basically need to do the same thing for a different server with an address from the new IP range:
Traffic to 203.3 needs to go to 192.168.101.32, and traffic from 101.32 needs to go back to the Internet from 203.3.
Any tips on how I can make that happen?
Re: Separate Public IP Rangeslevi Jul 9, 2012 10:02 AM (in response to jhouse)
The configuration depends how you have designed your firewall and security zones, but generally, this configuration will be done via the firewall's security zones. There is a very similar example in the Configuring the Firewall (IPv4) in AOS document, in example 9, beginning on page 40.
Essentially, the configuration will be the exact same as the previous one-to-one (1:1) NAT, but the main difference is that the "private" policy-class will need to NAT traffic from the address of 192.168.101.32 to 203.3. This will be done by the order in the list of the "private" security zone.
If you would like to reply and attach a copy of the configuration (remember to remove any sensitive information), I will be happy to review what you have and make suggestions and recommendations.

How Does Real Science Fit into Science Fiction?
A Q&A with LSU Experimental Physicist & Author Shane Stadler
Stories can be as complex as any scientific theorem. When it's done well, it demands our attention and consideration about something that might first seem black and white but is in fact as colorful and as intricate as the light spectrum. More importantly, stories can lead to new ways of thinking about who we are, as writers and readers…and scientists.
Dr. Shane Stadler had a taste for storytelling long before he published his first novel, Exoskeleton. But only since becoming an experimental physicist has Stadler's knack for stringing words together into a precise formula earned him his first publication, and then another. And his successes as a published science-fiction author don't end there. In just a few short months, the third installment in his Exoskeleton series, Omniscient, is slated for release.
Stadler's series follows William Thompson, a convicted felon, who is given a choice following his sentencing. Thompson must choose between serving a twenty-five-year conventional prison sentence…or spend 365 days in a new, experimental corrections program. He opts for the latter but quickly realizes the situation he's walked into.
Beyond the world he's created, Stadler's work as an experimental physicist in the College of Science's Department of Physics and Astronomy looks into the synthesis and characterization of bulk and thin film materials with an emphasis on magnetic systems with applications in energy and electronics. And it is this experience as a scientist that has provided Stadler with the proper technical insight into the world of science fiction and an element of uncomfortable authenticity to his sci-fi thrillers.
CoS: What originally sparked your interest in science?
Shane: The space shuttle program is at least partially responsible for my early interest in physics. I recall thinking that, by the time I got out of college, we'd be taking regular excursions into space – perhaps to the moon again, or Mars. As we know, that has not been the case. But along the way I learned early enough there's a lot more to physics (and science in general) than space travel.
CoS: What kind of work do you do as an experimental physicist?
Shane: Generally speaking, an experimental physicist designs experiments, constructs experimental measurement devices, and carries out the experiments by making measurements with scientific instruments. The data collected from these measurements are used to either test existing theories, or to learn something new about the world (i.e., possibly reveal new physics). Experimental physicists not only need to understand theoretical physics, but must also have a variety of skills and knowledge including mathematics, chemistry, computer programming, electronics, engineering, machining, optics, etc. The physicist's specific field will determine which of these skills must be most highly developed.
My field is condensed matter physics (sometimes referred to as solid state physics). This is essentially the study of matter including its structural, physical, electronic, magnetic, and thermal properties. Research in condensed matter physics has led to novel physical behaviors such as superconductivity and spintronics, as well as to practical applications such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) and transistors, the latter of which have changed our world as they are responsible for modern computers and communications.
In my lab we study magnetic materials of various types. We synthesize new materials (metallic alloys) that have never before been made, and study their magnetic, structural, and electronic properties. Lately, we have focused on materials that can be used in future "magnetic cooling" devices. In this case we search for materials that cool down when subjected to a magnetic field. The hope is that these new materials will drive the development of new near-room-temperature cooling technologies (i.e., refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.).
CoS: When did you start writing fiction? Had you already kicked off your scientific professional career?
Shane: I started writing short stories in grade school, and I took a creative writing course in college where I wrote some small things, as well. Since a very young age I've had ideas for books brewing in my mind, a few of which I'm finally putting to paper. And there are many others I'd like to write. But my first novel, Exoskeleton, was published (and was written) after I became a physics professor, so I starting writing fiction well after starting my scientific career.
CoS: Did you pull from your own background as a physicist to develop the story of William Thompson?
Shane: One strategy (or exercise) for getting started writing novels is to place yourself as the antagonist in the story and try to write from your point of view. Maintaining a consistent point of view is very important. For example, one character cannot know what another character is thinking, etc. So I wrote Exoskeleton starting from that perspective. William Thompson (the antagonist in Exoskeleton) therefore started off as a physics professor and, consequently, his background was similar to my own. My own background was vital to the development of Will's character since I could use it to relate to his experiences. Of course, things quickly deteriorate for him…
CoS: What is your take — as a physicist by trade — on the relationship between science fiction and science in reality?
Shane: Science fiction is supposed to be an extrapolation of accepted science (although the constraints are not very stringent) to some not yet realized technological possibility. This often extends from futuristic technologies to speculations on their effects on society. For instance, what would happen in a world where genetic research cured the human race of its most deadly diseases and slowed the aging process? What would happen to the population, and how would society need to adjust? How would life change for the individual? Sci-fi might bring some of these questions to the forefront and get people thinking about many hypothetical situations that could come up in our (real) future.
CoS: To what extent do you think science fiction can affect or improve the developments in science and technology in human life?
Shane: Many of the things that have appeared in old science fiction have been realized (e.g., the moon landing — Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon, etc.). I think that, like some other types of fiction, Sci-Fi can be mind-expanding. Another important side effect of sci-fi is to get others interested in science and STEM fields, especially young people.
CoS: Many aspiring science fiction authors don't have a technical background in physics or another "hard" science. What can a writer do if their story involves advanced technology/science to keep the reader from hurling the book across the room?
Shane: I would suggest that writers do some research to avoid any obvious mistakes. Just having a basic knowledge of things can be enough – most readers aren't reading sci-fi to take a physics class. Many readers appreciate a non-expert's explanation of otherwise complex and tedious topics. However, I think it is prudent for an author not to focus on something (science or otherwise) in which he/she is not comfortable. For instance, I would never try to write something that requires details of accounting or investment analysis. On the other hand, I can have a character address such things with the understanding that the character is not an expert.
CoS: Are some areas of science and technology easier to write than others? Is it more difficult to properly integrate something like synthetic biology than, say, advanced A.I.?
Shane: I do think it's true that some technical areas are more difficult to write than others. But it really depends on how well a writer can formulate what is needed to get the point across to the reader without burying them in the details of complex scientific concepts or jargon. The writer should have a good idea of the novel's target audience. I happen to also write a physics textbook, where I have to be continually aware of the level. In this case, regarding the math level of the book, for instance, students need to know algebra and trigonometry, but no calculus. I also have a feel for the general difficulty level (i.e., for homework problems and exams, etc.) that is expected to be accessible by these students. My experience here has also helped me with my sci-fi writing: I know what I should expect a student in an algebra-based physics course to understand or, better, what I should NOT expect them to understand. I think this gives me some perspective of what I should assume that someone who has not taken a college physics course should understand. After all, all of my students initially fit into that category!
CoS: Ok, how about a tip for readers. How can a layman reader improve his or her scientific nonsense-detector? What should be a clue that the author has done a good job, or a bad job, integrating correct science in their work?
Shane: I can only give personal preferences here, but I am usually turned off by "made up" names of devices without giving some believable functionality. For example, the "flux capacitor" in the movie Back to the Future. This is not a great example because I think it works in this kind of movie, but it's the type of thing that should be better defined in stricter sci-fi. By the way, the flux capacitor is in the O'Reilly Auto Parts catalog (Part#: 121GMF) with some warnings about plutonium …
CoS: What would you say was the hardest thing about writing these novels?
Shane: I had experienced many difficulties, especially while writing the first book. I think it is important to maintain a routine. For me, it was ~2 hours every morning for more than a year. Sometimes it's difficult to get started each morning (writer's block, distractions, etc.). The duration of a book project is also daunting: it is a long-term project that may never come to a satisfying end (i.e., it may never be published). So it is a risk, and that can be psychologically demanding. Another difficult thing occurs after you have a novel-length manuscript in hand: you must cut it up and rewrite it! I rewrote Exoskeleton six times before it was published! It's difficult to cut up a manuscript that took a year to write! But that's the formula: write, then rewrite, rewrite …
CoS: What's more challenging: being a sci-fi author or being a physicist?
Shane: They both have unique challenges: it's more difficult to become a physicist (a lot of schooling, etc.) but much more difficult to make a living as a sci-fi writer. What's challenging is managing the time and effort to do both. Even though I write sci-fi for enjoyment and stress relief, I have come to appreciate that creative work takes a lot of effort. But science also has a creative component that, in my opinion, is not very different from that needed for writing fiction. Both disciplines require generating ideas from nothing, and that's often not very easy, and is difficult to maintain.
CoS: If you could choose to live in any science fiction world, which would you pick and why?
Shane: That's a tough one … as a kid I always liked the ideas the Star Trek (Next Generation and Voyager) worlds. There was the premise of a highly advanced civilization coupled with the adventure of putting its advanced technology to work. However, even though Star Wars has no real science (or even a façade of science), I liked its mystical component. I personally enjoy reading books that cross genres, and that's what I write. Exoskeleton and Tympanum have elements of sci-fi, thriller, horror, and even supernatural genres. Holding strictly to the sci-fi genre can be too constraining in my opinion. My physics life (which involves a colossal amount of writing as well) keeps me within empirical confines – laws of physics and measured data. Perhaps that's why I've turned to writing fiction: it allows me to break free of that on occasion.
CoS: What's the oddest / most dangerous / craziest thing you've done "for science"?
Shane: Not too crazy … In grad school, a fellow student and I dropped a pebble from a walking bridge that went over a river. It took between 1.5 and 2 seconds for the pebble to hit the water, so we did a quick calculation and estimated that the fall was about 45 feet (plus or minus a few feet), and the final speed at the water was around 35 to 40 m.p.h. So we jumped. All was okay with the impact with the water (our calculations were close enough), but what we'd failed to consider was the thermodynamics of the problem: this was a river in the northern Midwest in April (ice just off the river)! We weren't in any real danger, but it was pretty cold … Not recommended.

It's been a shit show in Washington D.C. for many years now. Yesterday's veiled attempt at Congressional empathy reached a new and divisive low.
The Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh senate interviews.
On the one hand you had a brutal, gut wrenching and credible story from a woman who clearly lives with the horrible memory of an event no woman (or man) should ever be put through (but all too often is). Professor Blasey Ford's testimony doesn't need explanation or too much examination. Does it? Her integrity, strength, candor and honesty can leave absolutely no room for question or debate.
On the other hand, you had a privileged and petulant asshole bray like someone who received the wrong drink at Starbucks.
And straight out of 2018 Central Casting, Brett Kavanaugh looked and acted just how you'd expect a private school, Ivy League educated, white, federal judge vying for a lifetime appointment to the highest legal position in the country would act. In other words, he acted like a dick. I mean, who are we to question the integrity of this "great man"?
Miraculously, the "persecution" of this man has somehow found crossover with the blue-collar MAGA supporter who has lost his job due to the American manufacturing exodus of the last 25 years and lives one or two paychecks away from being destitute.
To describe Brett Kavanaugh's performance yesterday as anything but would be disingenuous. So, I suppose it's no shock that Kavanaugh's performance received two thumbs up and a glowing review from the sexual predator and serial female assaulter in charge, SHOTUS (Shit Head of the United States) aka Donald Trump.
Attempting to coordinate this shit show was the Senate Judiciary Committee, 21 U.S. Senators (11 Republicans, 10 Democrats) who oversee the Department of Justice. Regardless of political ideology, this is a motley crew of people I'd hardly trust drinking out of a child's sippy cup (but to be fair I feel that way about most politicians).
I had naively hoped that the Ford and Kavanaugh interviews could've opened a few hearts and minds (I'm pretty progressive, by default an optimist). But in 2018 America, and Washington D.C., that's not a naive hope, it's a stupid one.
Yesterdays extravaganza did nothing to bridge the ever-expanding chasm that exists both culturally and politically in America. In fact, like anything marginally political today, yesterday just saw both political sects dig in their heels even more. And I'll even cop to that. But I'll at least admit to having been open to objectively listening to Brett Kavanaugh … until I saw the vitriol, lies and spittle (thanks HD) fly from his word hole.
Brett Kavanaugh is what became of Steff McKee, the James Spader character from Pretty in Pink.
And today the motley crew that makes up the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on whether Brett Kavanaugh gets a pass on his past alleged sexual abuse (and yes, they're still alleged) … and whether he gets a pass to a full Senate vote that could take place as early as next week. To be clear, this is a vote to let another privileged white man into the upper echelon of American politics, and history, while receiving a lifetime appointment to the apogee of American jurisprudence. YAY! And justice for all!
Make no mistake, no one, and I truly mean no one, is winning, or will win, from the fall out of this spectacular shit show. We're all losers here.
I may end up surprised but I think if you wanna know how all of this plays out, just look at the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
November is coming.

London Marathon runners in support of Devon Air
This Sunday, the 23rd April 2017, one of the world's most prolific events in the fundraising calendar, the London Marathon, is back for its 37th year. UK applications for ballot places reached a record this year at over 250,000.
With limited places, available for this year's London Marathon Devon Air Ambulance are proud of their supporters who have secured a place and extremely grateful to them for choosing to raise funds.
Mike Leworthy, Sidmouth
As the lead front end developer for running at Pro:Direct Sport Mike was allocated a place in the marathon through his employment. This will be Mike's first marathon and he has chosen to support both Devon Air Ambulance and MacMillan Cancer Support, two charities close to his and his girlfriend, Amy's, heart.
Mike added "I chose the Air Ambulance as we do a lot of walking and running in the countryside and it makes me feel a little better knowing that the Air Ambulance would be there if we needed it. Anything that I can do to help that thought makes me feel better."
Mike has kept an online blog throughout his training, you can read his blog at: http://www.mikeleworthy.co.uk/i-am-going-to-be-running-the-virgin-london...
To sponsor Mike go to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mike-leworthy
Michelle Bee, Seaton
Michelle had secured her ballot place for the 2016 London Marathon, but following injury had to defer. Now fighting fit Michelle has been training hard, in all weathers, and is ready for the challenge. The training plan started at Christmas and involved running 3 times a week plus a cross training "Body Pump" class to strengthen the core muscles.
Michelle won't be running alone as her husband Jim also won a ballot place for this year. As the marathon has approached and the evenings have drawn out they've enjoyed running in daylight during the evenings.
Michelle added "It had always been an ambition of mine to run the London Marathon since I was a teenager after watching my Dad run it 3 times in the 80's. I entered in 2014 but despite following a training plan and putting in the miles I suffered on the day with heat, thirst and exhaustion and was disappointed with my time of 5 hours. It's been lovely being able to run the long runs with my husband Jim and we plan to run together on the big day aiming for 4 ½ hours."

Andrew Tye, Plymouth
Andrew is a third-year student paramedic at Plymouth University, he completed his student elective placement in prehospital care and spent some time with the crew of Devon Air Ambulance. With great respect for the service and the lifesaving treatment they provide, Andrew hopes to become a Critical Care Paramedic with Devon Air Ambulance in the future.
When Andrew won, his ballot place he didn't hesitate to choose Devon Air Ambulance as his chosen charity, he added "My placement with DAAT really demonstrated the amazing things they can do in support of front line road ambulance crews. Without the life-saving interventions and rapid transport they provide, patients would be at a great disadvantage."
To support Andrew, go to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/AndyTye
Fran Frost, Somerset
Fran is a cardiac rehab nurse based in Taunton and has been to witness to many cardiac patients who have been rapidly taken to hospital via helicopter. Fran chose to support Devon Air Ambulance after her family friend and leader of her local running group, Jim White, was airlifted after he collapsed whilst out running.
Fran added "I am running the London Marathon in memory of Jim White, a truly inspirational man who loved to run and encourage others to join him. The Devon Air Ambulance gave him the best chance possible to survive when he collapsed running, with the best care and rapid transfer to hospital."
Jim sadly passed away later in hospital.
To sponsor Fran go to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Fran-Frost
Devon Air Ambulance Fundraising Director Caroline Creer added "We're aware of the hard work our supporters put into their training, the London Marathon is no mean feat, and we are extremely grateful to our runners for choosing to support Devon Air Ambulance. We would like to wish them the best of luck for the day and we hope they accomplish their running time targets."
Devon Air Ambulance runners will be proudly sporting a Devon Air Ambulance running vest so give them a cheer if you see them! Devon Air Ambulance wish them all the best of luck!

Black Is The New Black
The little black dress, better known as, the LBD. Coco Chanel started the trend and it has remained a classic ever since. It's probably the most versatile staple in your closet because you can dress it up or down and can match anything you already own. I have a growing LBD collection in my closet, because well, for the very reason that it's so versatile. You can instantly look dressed up without even trying. I love how this LBD shows my figure, and the criss-cross details with low back that makes the dress an eye-catcher. I got this dress from Modlook 29 when I visited their store in LA and it was such a great experience. They have so many selections and were very helpful. Don't forget to check them out here, or better yet, give them a visit at their store!

Would you marry this toad, this grump, this stocky would-be prince with a paunch?
Back in the day, SamHenry was asking the same question as Grace Kelly sailed to Monaco to marry that morose-looking not very attractive prince Ranier, Albert's father. It was never a fairy tale ending in the sun and the light. There is a darkness behind the Grimaldi throne and many believe the curse put upon Ranier the 1st by a woman he raped who turned into a witch is behind all the unhappy marriages. [DailyBeast]
Curse or no curse, it was evident in the body language displayed between Charlene and Albert this week, something was amiss. Did she really try to leave the country and return to South Africa? Police say she was stopped at the Niece Airport and her passport confiscated. Albert's attorney says it did not happen. Word is she was distressed about the rumor that Albert had more recently fathered yet a third illegitimate child.
Enough already. How could anybody bring up children in the casino capital of the western world? Less than stellar types with money habituate the place. No wonder Grace and Ranier produced the most pouty princesses this side of the Alps. No one ever smiles broadly as Grace used to do.
No, unlike just about any other country, this is not the place to view a truly happy wedding. Poor Charlene, no wonder she teared up during the ceremony as her veil was lifted and then almost sobbed in the church where she later left her bouquet.

Baby teeth are temporary but very important to a kid's health and development. Besides helping the child chew, speak and smile, deciduous teeth also hold jaw space for soon to erupt adult teeth.
If your child loses a baby tooth, her pediatric dentist may recommend a space maintainer. Here are five things you should know about space maintainers.
1. What Are Space Maintainers?
Space maintainers are dental hardware used to hold space for incoming permanent teeth. They keep the spot open where a prematurely lost baby tooth was until an adult tooth arrives.
2. Types of Space Maintainers
There are many types of maintainers. However, space maintainers are usually classified as fixed, removable, unilateral or bilateral. Removable maintainers can be removed, but fixed ones are cemented to one or more teeth. Unilateral and bilateral maintainers are both fixed. However, unilateral devices are attached to one side of the mouth, and bilateral are fixed to both sides of the kid's mouth.
3. When to Consider a Space Maintainer
Your kid may require a space maintainer if she loses a deciduous tooth way before its replacement adult tooth is ready to emerge. Regardless of why your kid has missing baby teeth, talk to a dentist for children in Utah about space maintainers.
4. What Happens If a Child Doesn't Get a Space Retainer?
If a baby tooth is missing for a period, other teeth may lack proper support and become loose. The loose choppers may then drift into spots intended for other teeth. Consequently, the kid may develop adult teeth in improper locations. Due to the lost space, there might not be enough space for all the adult teeth.
5. Oral Care for Maintainers
During the time your child wears the device, her dentist will monitor the kid's dental hygiene, jaw growth and development of the adult teeth. The dentist will adjust or fix the maintainer as needed.
Usually, a space maintainer is needed until a child who has lost a tooth gets a false tooth. Sometimes, however, a spot may have to be left permanently open. Consult with a dentist to determine if and how long your child may need maintainers.

We are delighted to welcome The Rt Hon. the Baroness Neville-Jones DCMG, Chairman of the British Joint Intelligence Committee to speak on the key challenges of UK National Security policy response.
It is a well-known concept that the first duty of government is the security of the nation, and as last year's National Security Review noted, the threats to our country are growing. Sadly but understandably, we immediately associate the word security with terrorism, but of course the threats range much much wider than that: the Review listed Cyber, International Military Conflict, Instability Overseas, Public Health (e.g. pandemics), and Major Natural Hazards. Longer term threats include pressure on allies or undermining of our military and economic alliances.
Baroness Neville-Jones is a former BBC Governor and Chairman of the British Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). On 12 May 2010, Prime Minister David Cameron appointed Lady Neville-Jones his Minister of State for Security and Counter Terrorism in the Home Office with a permanent position on the newly created National Security Council.
This is a D Group event. For members only.

Your family's finances are important. That means it's important that you develop some good financial habits that help keep your family's finances secure, both for the short-term and the future.
Image: Pixabay
There are some things that every family should be doing when it comes to money, so take a look at the advice below and make your family's finances a priority.
1. Budget
A budget is important for all families. A budget helps to make sure that you don't spend more than what's coming in and means you can save for those little extras like vacations or treats for the whole family. Creating a household budget is easy, and while it may not always be easy to stick to, having one can give you a much clearer picture of your family's financial situation and help you make smart decisions about your spending.
2. Get insurance
Insurance is important for many reasons. You need insurance to protect your home and car, while other types of insurance exist to help make sure your family's protected in the event of a tragedy. While long term disability insurance plans can range in cost, they can be worthwhile if something were to happen to one of you that would change your ability to earn or require more help than your family could afford. Insurance payments may seem like dead money, but you'll never understand its value until you need it.
3. Make it go further
Everyone can benefit from making their money go further. If you're overpaying for things or wasting money unnecessarily, you're costing yourself money that could be better spent elsewhere on savings or your home. Start looking for ways to save on your monthly expenses, particularly food, and make sure you do something worthwhile with the difference you save.
4. Clear your debts
Sometimes debt is inevitable, but it's important that you learn to control it before it gets too much. Make a plan of how you're going to clear your debts to help keep your credit situation under control. If your family does find itself struggling to make repayments, make sure you get some help to arrange a payment plan that will keep your finances stable and won't leave you unable to pay your regular household bills. It's worth taking a look at the different things that affect your credit score to help you put your family in the best financial situation possible.
5. Save
Savings are important for families. If you want your children to go to college, to enjoy vacations or to plan for your retirement, then you're going to need some savings. Look for ways your family can save more each month. If you can reduce your cable bill or how much you spend on electricity, you can help add to those savings without it affecting your current lifestyle. Choose saving products that are low-risk, or speak to a financial advisor about the best saving schemes for your family.
Getting sensible with money is something that all families should do to prepare for the future. Start focusing on improving your family's finances to ensure comfortable, happy living so that money doesn't need to become something to worry about.

Aerobic exercise is called this because it encompasses the exercises that make you 'out of breath', so that you begin breathing more deeply as a way of replacing the depleted levels of oxygen in your body and blood. Aerobic exercise works your lungs and speeds up your heart, and it is therefore generally better at burning fat than is anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise takes in such things as running or jogging, swimming, cycling and even walking.
Anaerobic exercise on the other hand is the opposite, the kind of exercise that does not get you out of breath or make you 'puff and pant'. Falling into this category would be the weightlifting. As previously suggested, anaerobic exercise does not burn off the fat as quickly as does aerobic, but it does have the benefit that it is more effective for speeding up your metabolism, leading to the effect of burning more calories even when at rest.
Teenage Weight Loss Tips Photo Gallery
Aerobic exercise works as part of a fat burning weight loss plan, because your body normally turns to carbohydrates to provide the energy that you need. However, when exercising, your body starts to look to the stored fat to provide some of the necessary energy as well, hence the weight loss effect.
Anaerobic exercise on the other hand will generally be almost entirely fuelled by the carbohydrates in your body, and therefore the fat loss effect is far less noticeable. It does however have the advantage of speeding up your metabolism.
It is important to realize that there are situations where the two different forms of exercise tend to blur into one another. For example, if you start out walking slowly, then that is aerobic exercise, but if you start to push your speed until you reach jogging and then running pace, the expansion and contraction of your muscles means that you are also exercising anaerobically as well as aerobically.

Pilates is a beautiful movement technique developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s. Its philosophy is simple: to create a fit healthy body that is flexible and strong, ready to enjoy life to the full. Pilates concentrates on improving core stability and body awareness, increasing flexibility and strength. Specific stretches and exercises promote a sense of body control that carries through to everyday life. A fitter, leaner body is the result with participants gaining control over how they move and exercise both in and out of the studio. This results in a reduced risk of injury.

Fiona's extra knowledge and training mean that she can make absolutely sure all exercises are safe and effective.
Pilates for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition in which a gradual demineralisation of the bones leads them to become brittle and fracture more easily.
Bone mineral density decreases after the age of 35 and becomes more rapid in women following the menopause. The incidence of osteoporotic fracture is 1 in 3 women over 50 and 1 in 5 men. The areas most likely to be affected are the wrist, spine and hip.
In order to reduce the likelihood of having an osteoporotic fracture, as well as eating a healthy diet and getting enough vitamin D, starting an exercise programme which includes weight bearing through the bones to strengthen them, challenging our balance reactions to prevent trips and falls, and focusing on strengthening the anti gravity muscles that help us maintain an upright posture can help significantly.
If you think you may be affected why not click here and sign up for our Pilates for Osteoporosis class, or give us a call on 0203 916 0286? This is a class taken by our Physiotherapist and Pilates teacher, Fiona, and it's specially designed to address all the issues that could lead to an osteoporotic fracture.

This is not a simple story about buying a house.
This is a story about realizing a dream, and having the dedication and heart to never let that dream go. Its about surrounding yourself with people who would never let your failure be an option, and who will work for beer and pizza.
But, I'm getting ahead of myself, so let me start from the beginning. John and I met at work, and were friends for over a year before we started dating. We have lots of common interests like music and nature, but the one trait, that I think, will keep us together forever (besides our love for each other) is that we love to keep busy.
I remember my friend Sarah jokingly saying, "Oh, you guys are such doers". As if we wore a scarlet "D" as a badge of one too many home reno projects.
So, what is a "doer" you as? Take a look at this list of common "doer" characteristics to see if you too wear the scarlet "D":
1. You are currently working on 17 different projects of varying complexity and completion, and would gladly take on another.
2. You love making lists, for everything, and enjoying checking things off those lists; for the pure satisfaction of rewriting the list to include more detailed information.
3. You would rather spend a couple of hours researching "how to" videos on YouTube than bother to keep up with the Kardashians.
4. You get pure satisfaction when you learn/ master a new skill or trade.
5. And finally, you fully realize how crazy you are to bite off way more than you can chew, and wouldn't have it any other way.
With that list in mind, here's our "doer" reality:
1. John and I have full time jobs and are currently working on establishing separate side businesses. Add to the list, we are now the proud owners of an early 1900s home/brothel (we'll get to that later).
2. You unexpectadly read and helped me edit a list I made and edited several times before finalizing.
3. Yesterday morning included 45 minutes of researching "How To Replace An Old Window Weight Chain". More to come on that...
4. There is something to be said about finding the perfect bleach to water mildew killing solution.
5. As this story will tell, John and I are content with being "doers", which is why I think everyone who knows us, saw our newest project and the tremendous amount of TLC it needed, and knew we were the right ones for the job.

Saturday night's Australian MotoGP round was not for the fainthearted.
As well as a number of death-defying near crashes, and an extremely close finish line, the riders also went head-to-head with a staple of Australian wildlife, the seagull.
While Australia's Phillip Island race track is a beautiful location, it's also known for having a serious wildlife problem. During the race, Andrea Iannone came speeding around a corner and obliterated a seagull who was perched in the middle of the track.
Apparently, the bird didn't fair too well and neither did the bike. Post race footage showed a massive chunk taken out of the front left corner of the fairing where the seagull hit. Check it out for yourself above.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Its time for my annual thankful blog.....
I am so happy to have a job that I LOVE. I mean it - I love it!
I recently moved, and my new place comes with a private bathroom and a walk in closet - both of which I have never had. I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!
I am grateful for visiting teaching. I have just been assigned a new partner - who is incredibly sweet. I also have a new visiting teacher - who totally lifted my spirits on Sunday.
I love today's technology! I mean, I have always been a little behind the times... but I love my cell phone, my digital camera and blogging!
I am grateful for my family. I learn so much from them!
I am grateful for great friends - to make life fun!!!
I am grateful to be single and to have like a new crush every other day!
I am grateful for my freedom - and to live in a world where anyone can do anything that they put their mind to doing.
I am grateful for repentence and forgiveness... because lets face it - I screw up.. :)
Lets just face it - Life is Good!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Gobble, gobble, gobble :)

Long time no blog.....
I have not blogged for a little bit.... I blame it on adjusting to teaching. I love it! I am amazed at how much time I need to prepare...... I am grateful for:
1. An amazing Kindergarten teacher next door. Seriously, she helps me sooooo much!
2. A principal who is not only a fabulous principal - but also super supportive.
3. The internet - can I just say that I do not know how teachers taught without the internet at their fingertips??? I love www.kellyskindergarten.com, www.prekinders.com.
4. I have a super class! There are a few behavior problems, but really, they are great!!!
5. A super PTA. Seriously- they are wonderful. They created a school wide behavior plan - which is common among teachers - pulling cards. The great part is that they made a chart for every class. This saved me as a new teacher with practically nothing prepared when I started.
So, I am asking for some help.... I collect box tops. Any box tops would be appreciated. :) I could also use your old magazines.
Living the dream is harder than it seems... :)
