Work has now begun on our very own pub!
After speaking with residents and families the general consensus was that they would enjoy being able to socialise in a pub environment.
One of our residents, Jimmy, was especially looking forward to being able to enjoy a pint and a sing song.
Sadly, Jimmy passed away before we could get things under way so, with permission from his family, we have named the pub "Jimmy's" in memory of our friend.
Watch this space for the grand opening…

Award season is upon us. The Golden Globes, the Writer's Guild Awards, the SAG's, and the Spirit Awards have all come and gone, paving the way for the final and most prestigious honor of the season—The Academy Awards. Whether you're a casual viewer who watches just to see the designer dresses, or if you're an avid fan throwing your annual Oscar party, the Academy Awards are hard to miss. Until Oscar Sunday the predictions and spectacle will be the talk of the town, as everyone tries to nail down who the big winners will be.
Embrace the excitement and get in on the fun too! Even if you don't plan on going all-out and throwing an Oscar viewing party, you can still get involved. Print off an awards ballot from the many available online and choose your picks. Make it a game—the person in your family with the most correct predictions wins a prize of your choosing. Create a spread of fancy (or not so fancy) hors d'oeuvres, crack open the champagne (or root beer floats), and embrace the Academy Awards for the cinematic celebration that they are.
To help you get in the mood for Oscar Sunday (or to wow your Oscar party attendees with insider-information), here are some facts you likely didn't know about the Academy Awards!
What often steals the show more than the winners? The Oscar dresses. Not only are they made by the best of the best in the fashion world, but they're also crazy expensive. Cate Blanchett's couture Armani gold dress and jewels that she wore to the Academy Awards in 2014 is the most expensive Oscar dress ever worn on the red carpet. It cost $18.1 million. But don't let the price get you down! The Oscars are a great way to get a head's start on new fashion trends, and the internet is often ablaze after the show with ways to get the trends you saw on the red carpet on a realistic budget (like these ideas from Brit + Co.)
For those in the film business, winning an academy award is still the fastest way to climb the career ladder. Not only do most winner's see an increase in their paycheck's post-win, but they also immediately have A-List directors and producers knocking on their door to work on their next big project. With few exceptions, winning an Oscar is a game-changer. The televised broadcast banks on the award's elite status in order to bring in viewers, and for that reason, keeping the winners a secret before the big reveal is very important. The Academy learned this fact the hard way. Before 1941, the Academy would release the winners to the press a few hours early in order for them to have time to print the list of winners in the morning papers, but in 1940, the Los Angeles Times leaked the information to the public before the show, ruining the surprise for fans and nominees alike. Since then, the winner envelopes have been sealed and guarded vigilantly until the moment the winner's name is read on stage.
The Oscars have come a long way in their 88 year history. Over the years, Meryl Streep has racked up the most acting nominations with 19, and Woody Allen has also had a total of 19 nominations—18 for writing/directing and one for acting. Best Picture winners are typically the movies with the longest running times such as Gone with the Wind and Ben-Hur, which bodes well for The Revenant this year since it's the longest film out of the eight nominated. The longest ever awards ceremony was the 2002 Oscars, clocking in at 4 hours and 23 minutes. Attempts have been made to keep the Oscar speeches to a minimum so the show doesn't run too long, but for those of you hosting Oscar parties, you might want to prepare some during-the-show activities to keep your guests entertained!
If you need something to bring up in conversation at the water cooler, the big story this year is Leonardo DiCaprio. Can he finally win an Oscar? Nominated for his fifth time since 1994, Leo has critics, industry moguls, and fans all rooting for him to finally get a win this year. For decades, DiCaprio has been in the mix, watching his costars walk away with the award, and experts are saying that this year might finally be the year he wins one. With over 30 acting credits to his name and dozens of critically acclaimed performances, everyone will be watching to see if Leo finally wins the big award or if he's snubbed yet again.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the eye-candy on the red carpet this year as the industry's best and brightest celebrate the art of cinema. The Oscars air on ABC, Sunday, February 28th which means there's still time to head to the theater to see the nominated films!
Who Will Win? A Few of Our Picks
Best Picture
There are eight nominees this year for Best Picture with vast plots and themes. The director of last year's Best Picture winner, Iñárritu (Birdman) has his film nominated again with The Revenant—his epic, sweeping tale of fur trapper, Hugh Glass, as he seeks revenge for his family while lost in the freezing Northern plains. The nominees also include two big blockbusters—Mad Max: Fury Road and Matt Damon's space adventure, The Martian. One of the quieter movies nominated, Room, tells the story of a mother and son who were kept captive by their kidnapper in a tiny room for years—so long in fact that the son has never known life outside the four walls. There's also John Crowley's sweet and poignant coming-to-America tale, Brooklyn, and Spielberg's Cold War story starring the always charismatic Tom Hanks—Bridge of Spies. Rounding out the eight nominees are two ensemble cast dramas: Spotlight, about the priest molestation scandal that rocked the Catholic Church in Boston in 2001, and The Big Short about the real estate crash and financial crisis in 2007.
OUR PICK: The Revenant
Best Actor
All but one of the men nominated in the Best Actor category have been nominated for an Academy Award before, but only one has actually won one. Bryan Cranston is the only first-time nominee, and Eddie Redmayne is the only past winner. The others, Matt Damon, Michael Fassbender and Leonardo DiCaprio have all been nominated before, but haven't won the award for acting just yet (Matt Damon does have an Oscar for screenwriting).
OUR PICK: Leonardo DiCaprio
Best Actress
New to the Oscar nomination list are Best Actress nominees Brie Larson and Charlotte Rampling. Saoirse Ronan is nominated for the second time for her role in Brooklyn. She was last nominated when she was thirteen years old for her show stopping role in Atonement. Jennifer Lawrence and Cate Blanchett are no strangers to the Oscar stage with Blanchett's two wins and Lawrence's one. Brie Larson has racked the most wins this award's season though for her role in Room and is the clear frontrunner in the category.
OUR PICK: Brie Larson
Best Director
Only two directors in the history of the Oscars have won back-to-back Best Director awards despite many being nominated two years in a row. Alejandro G. Iñárritu just might beat the odds and snatch it again this year. He's up against Adam McKay (The Big Short), George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road), Lenny Abrahamson (Room) and Tom McCarthy (Spotlight). In my opinion, the only one who might give Iñárritu a run for his money is George Miller for the technical masterpiece that is Mad Max. Still, the Academy surely didn't forget how Iñárritu froze in inhumane conditions to make The Revenant and did so while creating a visual stroke of genius unlike any other.
OUR PICK: Alejandro G. Iñárritu
The Consensus: The Revenant will snatch up the big awards and Mad Max will clean house on the technical ones like sound editing and special effects, but most likely, these two films will battle for the most trophies. Let's watch and see!

Space elevators could be a risky ride
发布时间:2019-03-02 09:04:03来源:未知点击:
Space elevators are touted as a cheap alternative to rocket propulsion for transporting cargo and even people into orbit. So far, they exist only on paper, but ultimately robots could climb a cable stretching thousands of kilometres from Earth's surface into space. However, there is a hitch: passengers could be killed by the radiation they receive on the way to the top, say Anders Jorgensen and Steven Patamia at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, and Blaise Gassend of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At the proposed speed of 200 kilometres per hour, passengers would spend a few days in the Van Allen radiation belts,

The Ryder Cup-style tournament showcases the unique position of golf as one of the few sports where players of all skills and abilities can play together on a level playing field, because of the official golf handicap system.
The tournament is named after its founder, John Simpson, the former Senior Vice President of International Management Group (IMG), who has only one fully-functioning leg as a result of suffering from polio as a child. During his time at IMG, John managed elite sportsmen such as Sir Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Greg Norman, Vijay Singh, and Lord Sebastian Coe.
TPC Sawgrass hosted the inaugural Simpson Cup in 2012, while it moved across the Atlantic to Royal Lytham & St Annes the following year, where Team GB successfully defended the Cup. Congressional Country Club played host in 2014, and the Americans won the trophy there for the first time, before relinquishing it on a dramatic final day at Royal St. George's Golf Club in 2015. In 2016, Team USA once again wrestled the Cup back from the Brits at Oak Hill Country Club, before following it up with a resounding 13-5 triumph at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in 2017. A closer match ensued at Maidstone, New York in 2018, although the Americans once again came out on top 11-8. This year we move to the historic St Andrew's in Scotland, where the Simpson Cup will no doubt deliver a golfing extravaganza once again.
Competitors involved in the Simpson Cup are all members of the On Course Foundation. The Simpson Cup raises awareness and funds for the On Course Foundation, a 501(c)(3) registered organization in the USA and a registered charity in the UK.

Adena: James and I have talked a lot about a "year in review" post. We already mark different milestones throughout the year to acknowledge anniversaries that are separate from the holidays. We continuously reflect on the passage of time at the annual intervals of his transplants, long-term hospitalizations, and of course, homecomings from those transplants and hospitalizations. (We have graduated from monthly intervals to yearly intervals). We remember and honour the passing of dear friends with wonderment at the speed of the world around us. We seek measures for healing and growth.
The changes are diverse. We celebrate the major events in our lives. James and I find no difficulties in compiling a list of highlights to mark the year, but I also feel a need to acknowledge the small changes. Some of the most subtle differences make the most powerful impact on our lives. We have regained a lot of normalcy in the last year. Our lives no longer revolve around a disease. Our relationship no longer revolves around a disease. We can make plans that extend further into the future, and make decisions that are not based solely in fears about that future.
James and I are able to share in the responsibilities of the household, and support each other through the ebbs and flows of our daily lives. We are able to shift the weight of those responsibilities back and forth between each other based on both of our needs in a given moment, rather than feeling a need to protect James, because of some level of vulnerability or fragility. His needs took precedence for a long time, and it made it difficult to establish a sense of equity in our lives. Our relationship has become stronger with reciprocity of care for each other. I love that James is able to make tea for me in the morning, and prepare a dinner for after an evening class. I also still relish in being able to walk side-by-side and hold hands, or share a quiet moment together in our own home. It is the normalcy in our lives that holds the most significance in my personal reflections of the past year. The rest is bonus.
James: When 2014 began, I was still weak and suffering from shell shock. I felt a strange mix of vulnerability and invulnerability. I had nearly died and had suffered so much that my shockingly fast recovery felt surreal; life had a distinctly dreamlike quality. I was struggling with gaps in my memory, trying to figure out what had happened to me; but so much still felt like an open wound that I had to avoid thinking too hard about the darkest moments. I focused instead on enjoying being alive, and I felt like I was glowing with energy. Adena and I started seeing a personal trainer, and my body gained strength until I felt fitter than I have ever felt. I gained weight and lung capacity.
In February I celebrated my 30th birthday on Saltspring Island with my friends and extended family. I was finally able to thank so many of the people who had been supporting me since before my first transplant! In May, I celebrated my one-year post transplant lungiversary. In the summer, Adena and I finally got to go to my favorite place, our cabin on the West Coast Trail. I had dreamed of taking her there since the day we met, and now my dream has come true. It was a beautiful, emotional experience for the both of us. We thrived in the Victoria summer, raising a bountiful garden and visiting as many parks and beaches as we could. We rode bikes often, and I drew intense joy out of the feeling of my strong legs and the wind in my face. Adena worked hard all summer, then began her career as a grad student at UVIC, and I would ride to campus at her side, then ride back home to feed the cats and cook dinner.
We had the great pleasure of attending my good friend's beautiful wedding, then later had the opportunity to speak at a few events. Adena's beautiful videos were our introduction, and I could feel my eyes welling with tears as we relived our story. Being selected as the keynote speaker for a major CF fundraiser was a great honour, and even though I was so nervous at the podium that I was shaking, I felt strong and proud with Adena by my side.
During the winter, our energy levels waned and we focused on keeping healthy and supporting one another. We celebrated Thanksgiving, Channukah, and Christmas. Tonight we are staying home to cuddle up close and appreciate the wonderful year we have had. We look forward to more big changes in 2015, and as always we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your love and support. May you all have a healthy and joyous 2015!

George Nelson Equinox Tripod Floor Lamp
First designed in 1947, the George Nelson Bubble Lamp Collection has stood the test of time. The simple structural shapes with the innovative use of taut plastic over fine steel wire were born from George Nelson's frustration to buy a Swedish-made silk lamp which produced a soft light. This unique use of shape and material produces a diffused light that is free of glare while offering an abundance of illumination. These pieces are part of the permanent collection in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and remain icons in modern lighting.
The George Nelson Bubble Equinox Tripod Floor Lamp is built to become a family heirloom. Plastic coating over steel wire frame and a brushed nickel plated steel base. The has 9 foot cord and easy on/off floor switch.

Successful small businesses can rapidly go out of business if they run out of money. Similarly, struggling unprof small businesses can be kept afloat for a very long time if they have a good money balance. In other words, cash is the life blood of American small businesses.
Small Business Loans in Los Alamitos, California
Naturally, when times are tough, failure to obtain capital to pay daily operating expenses often becomes a source of concern, stress and anxiety and diversion for small business owners.
In these cases, many small business owners consider seeking short term financing.
Small Business Loans in Los Alamitos, California
Sadly, the majority of big city and town standard lending institutions have stiff and stringent requirements that their customers need to fulfill.
Because of this, there is four particular features that are required by those looking for business funding.
Easy credit approval:
Services have a separate credit score from the business owner. Even if the business owner has a high credit history, the business may not have a recognized credit history (specifically if freshly established). Therefore, prospective loan providers have to offer solutions with that take business owner's personal credit into factor to consider which accepts candidates with less than best credit.
Quick Financing Time:
Usually, when a company is seeking out a loan, they have operating expenses that they need to be able to pay within the next 7-14 days (such as payroll and providers). As such, loans that take weeks to be authorized and financial resources just aren't appropriate to many companies needs
No Red Tape:
Lots of conventional lending institutions requires months of bank statements and years of tax returns to be able to process a loan application. While this might not be a big deal to a well-established business, it's not very practical for a new business that has beened around for six months to a year
Small Business Friendly:
Oftentimes, physical lending institutions just service companies doing 20k or more in month-to-month revenue. This disqualifies smaller sized services doing 10k-15k in regular monthly profits.
Because of the strict previously mentioned qualification requirements enforced by conventional loan providers, increasingly more business owners are turning to the myriad of online loaning services now available to small business owners in Los Alamitos, California
GoTorro Small Business Loans offers rapid financing in as little as 48 hours, of amounts ranging from $10,000 – $500,000 to customers that meet the following fundamental certification criteria:
500+ FICO Score
6+ Months in Business
10k+ Monthly Revenue
No collateral, No bank statements, No Financials, No Tax Returns, and no credit referrals are required.

Mental Health: Suicide Prevention
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 28:32 — 39.2MB)
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for 10- to 24-year-olds. It's important to know the warning signs and how to seek help for yourself or a loved one. We're continuing the conversation with Gianna, who shares her experiences with depression, anxiety, and a suicide attempt, and Dr. Shashank Joshi, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Stanford University Medical Center.

By Nancy Friedman, Keynote Customer Service Speaker; President, Telephone Doctor Customer Service Training 5 Sayings to Sabotage Your Business There are many, many words and phrases that can and will sabotage your business. And, chances are, your staff is saying some of these now, without your even knowing it – on the phone and in person. You might have even said some of these yourself (ouch!). That's the bad news. The good news is we're able to bring to you the top five sabotaging phrases and then show you how to neutralize the effects. "I Have No Idea" This is normally used as an excuse more than anything else. It's a sure thing that the employee has not been shown how to explain something to the customer (i.e., no product training). This phrase is used as something to say when the employee doesn't know what to say. When the customer hears "I have no idea" they immediately respond (usually silently) with, "You gotta be kidding me?" There normally is a certain blank stare accompanying this statement. Sad. Instead, try "That's a great question, let me check and find out." "It's Not My Department" Well, then whose is it? Let'sRead more

Logging Amazon Athena API Calls with AWS CloudTrail
Athena is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in Athena.
CloudTrail captures all API calls for Athena as events. The calls captured include calls from the Athena console and code calls to the Athena API operations. If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events for Athena. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console in Event history.
Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to Athena, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details.
To learn more about CloudTrail, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.
You can also use Athena to query CloudTrail log files for insight. For more information, see Querying AWS CloudTrail Logs and CloudTrail SerDe.
Athena Information in CloudTrail
CloudTrail is enabled on your AWS account when you create the account. When activity occurs in Athena, that activity is recorded in a CloudTrail event along with other AWS service events in Event history. You can view, search, and download recent events in your AWS account. For more information, see Viewing Events with CloudTrail Event History.
For an ongoing record of events in your AWS account, including events for Athena, create a trail. A trail enables CloudTrail to deliver log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By default, when you create a trail in the console, the trail applies to all AWS Regions. The trail logs events from all Regions in the AWS partition and delivers the log files to the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. Additionally, you can configure other AWS services to further analyze and act upon the event data collected in CloudTrail logs. For more information, see the following:
All Athena actions are logged by CloudTrail and are documented in the Amazon Athena API Reference. For example, calls to the StartQueryExecution and GetQueryResults actions generate entries in the CloudTrail log files.
Every event or log entry contains information about who generated the request. The identity information helps you determine the following:
Whether the request was made with root or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user credentials.
Whether the request was made with temporary security credentials for a role or federated user.
Whether the request was made by another AWS service.
For more information, see the CloudTrail userIdentity Element.
Understanding Athena Log File Entries
A trail is a configuration that enables delivery of events as log files to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. CloudTrail log files contain one or more log entries. An event represents a single request from any source and includes information about the requested action, the date and time of the action, request parameters, and so on. CloudTrail log files aren't an ordered stack trace of the public API calls, so they don't appear in any specific order.
The following examples demonstrate CloudTrail log entries for:

The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps.
It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles.
No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.
Oct 2013 – Cape Town, South Africa.
She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the Universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings …
Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.
So here are little tools for my getaway.
A camera
A sunglasses
A watch
A satchel
…. and a blank mind.
I don't need more
work emails trouble or heartache.
I just need an escape.
Mar 2014 – Bali, Indonesia.
6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days,
and I still don't know which month it was then
or what day it is now.
Blurred out lines from hangovers to coffee
Another vagabond
lost to love.
4am alone and on my way.
These are my finest moments.
I scrub my skin to rid me from you
and I still don't know why I cried.
It was just something in the way you took my heart
and rearranged my insides
and I couldn't recognise the emptiness you left me with when you were done.
Maybe you thought my insides would fit better this way,
look better this way,
to you and us and all the rest.
But then you must have changed your mind or made a wrong
because why did you leave?
6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days,
and I still don't know which month it was then
or what day it is now.
I replace cafés with crowded bars
and empty roads with broken bottles
and this town is healing me slowly
but still not slow or fast enough
because there's no right way to do this.
There is no right way to do this.

Indigenous Stories
The sea animals have disappeared, and people are starving. An old couple, once great shamans, are asked to journey to the Mother of the Sea to find out what happened to the animals. But the journey is dangerous and the old woman does not know if she will be able to please the Mother of the Sea and convince her to free the animals the people of her community so desperately need.
The Mother of the Sea is an important character in Inuit traditional stories shared across the circumpolar region. Known by many names across various regions of the Arctic, the Mother of the Sea is a powerful woman who can withhold the animals humans need to survive if she is displeased by human behaviour. Only a shaman is able to appease the Mother of the Sea and convince her to release the animals that the hunters so desperately need. This tale shares the specific traditional story of the Mother of the Sea told and retold in Greenland for generations.

When Chris and Toby Greyeyes find a raven in the garage, they try to trap it and hurt it with hockey sticks. To them, ravens are just a nuisance because they spread garbage all over the street. Or so they think—until a mysterious man who smells like pine needles enters their lives and teaches them his story of the raven.
In this intriguing book, George Littlechild, internationally acclaimed artist and author of the Jane Addams Award-winning book This Land Is My Land, returns to collaborate with Richard Van Camp, an exciting voice in Native American literature.
Set in the Northwest Territories of Canada, Van Camp's contemporary story draws from the animal legends and folklore told to him by his Dogrib elders. Littlechild's bold use of color and perspective captures the sense of mystery and magic surrounding the strange raven man who teaches the boys the meaning of respect for nature.
Blending past with present, the magical with the real, A Man Called Raven is both a tribute to the wisdom of the raven and a positive reminder that we can all learn from nature.

A beautiful and visionary book, Ancient Thunder celebrates wild horses and the natural world of the prairies. Using an extraordinary technique, Leo Yerxa, an artist of Ojibway ancestry, makes paper look like leather, so that his illustrations seem to be painted on leather shirts. The art is accompanied by a rich song of praise for the wild horses that came to play such an important role in the lives of the First Peoples.
Years in the making, the book is truly a work of art — one that reflects Yerxa's sense of nature and the place of the First Peoples within it.
- In 2008, Ancient Thunder was the award recipient for First Nation Communities Read.
- Winner of the Governor General's Award

Acclaimed Inuit storyteller Michael Kusugak weaves a tapestry of tales about ten-year-old Agatha and her accidental heroism in the high Arctic of 1958. The first of Agatha''s stories is based on one of Kusugak''s real life experiences, when an eerie, black airship flew over Chesterfield Inlet in 1958. A sleepy Agatha "saves" the community from the monstrous flying object.
In the second story, Agatha notices the playful antics of the winter ravens and takes an interest in the many migrating birds. As the seasons change, she begins to favor more beautiful and peaceful birds of spring, until the ravens return.
The third of Agatha''s stories takes place in the fall when Agatha is sent to school in Chesterfield Inlet, an English-speaking community south of her home. During an afternoon of skating, Agatha rescues a show-off priest, who has inadvertently demonstrated the danger of thin ice.
The three Agatha stories resonate with the nostalgia and affection of Kusugak''s childhood memories.
"This collection of three tales, set in Repulse Bay, features an endearing 10-year-old heroine, named Agatha, through whose eyes the reader experiences life in the high Arctic.... The author weaves a tapestry of simply told stories, each of which, by skilful use of detail, manages to bring to life the experience of growing up in a small Inuit community.... Vladyana Krykorka's paintings give the reader a beautifully detailed rendition of the Arctic landscape in every season. Her depictions of Kusugak's human and animal characters are wonderfully satisfying, full of life and humour.... [They] complement the text brilliantly.... The beauty of Kusugak's work lies in his ability to evoke for his southern readers a vivid picture of a way of life that is fast disappearing. Arctic Tales will be a welcome addition to the resources that teachers and librarians look for as they plan their units on the Arctic and the Inuit. The book's Grade-three reading level should guarantee its popularity among young students doing projects on Inuit life. Recommended."— Valerie Nielsen, Canadian Materials, October 1999

The most magical things can come in tiny packages! In the Arctic, tales of tiny people who live on the land abound. This children's story follows the adventures of an orphan named Ava who is left to fend for himself by the adults in his village. One day, cold and alone, Ava stumbles upon a group of magical dwarves who finally show him how it feels to have a home of his own.
"Christopher, a researcher and publisher of Inuit legends and history, and Neal, a Canadian journalist, team up for a relatively lengthy, original story incorporating traditional Inuit characters and setting. Little Ava is alone and unwanted, an outcast orphan in his Arctic village. One day, he stumbles on a tiny, dwarflike man who takes Ava home to his group of family and friends (including sled dogs the size of squirrels). Ava learns that in this new world, time, size and shape can shift, according to one's own perceptions and inner strength. He proves himself a worthy hunter, accepts the love and respect of his new family, and finds that he is now the same size as the tiny people, the Inugarulligaarjuit. Dreamy watercolor illustrations in muted tones show Ava's growth from a cowering child to a brave and strong boy who can fight a lemming or a bear. The story is long for the picture-book format, but children who enjoy fairy and folk tales will find the story of Ava an unusual and compelling one.

A Native American (Pawnee) tale of family love and forgiveness.
Baby Rattlesnake wants a rattle like his older siblings have. His crying keeps the rattlesnake elders up all night so his parents give him a new rattle. Sure enough, he misuses his new rattle. When he tries to scare the chief's daughter, she steps on his rattle and crushes it. Sad and defeated, he returns to his forgiving family who give him "big rattlesnake hugs."

"Beaver Steals Fire: A Salish Coyote Story is a picture book rendition of a story directly from the cultural tradition of the Salish people of Montana. Retold by Salish elder Johnny Arlee, and wonderfully illustrated in full color by tribal artist Sam Sandoval, Beaver Steals Fire recounts how the animals worked together to obtain fire and help prepare the world for inhabitation by human beings. Beaver Steals Fire is presented with the full support of The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Division of Fire; a note to the reader at the beginning asks those who use Beaver Steals Fire in the classroom or others who read it aloud to orally tell or discuss the story only in winter, when snow is on the ground, as this is a strongly ingrained part of tribal seasonal tradition. A beautifully presented legend, highly recommended." — Children's Bookwatch, February 2006

Long ago, the only berries on the tundra were hard, tasteless, little crowberries. As Anana watches the ladies complain bitterly while picking berries for the Fall Festival, she decides to use her magic to help. "Atsa-ii-yaa (Berry), Atsa-ii-yaa (Berry), Atsaukina!" (Be a berry!), Anana sings under the full moon turning four dolls into little girls that run and tumble over the tundra creating patches of fat, juicy berries: blueberries, cranberries, salmonberries, and raspberries. The next morning Anana and the ladies fill basket after basket with berries for the Fall Festival. Thanks to Anana, there are plenty of tasty berries for the agutak (Eskimo tee cream) at the festival and forevermore. As she did with THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE (praised by the New York Times Book Review, a San Francisco Chronicle Choice, and a Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Picture Book Award winner), Yup'ik Eskimo elder Betty Huffmon shared this folktale with author/illustrator Teri Sloat, who brings it to life with her delightful illustrations.
"Sloat collaborates with Huffmon, a Yup'ik storyteller, to infuse a traditional 'origins' tale with the joy of creating. Hearing the old women of her village grumble that they have only tasteless crowberries for the fall feast's akutaq—described as 'Eskimo ice cream,' though the recipe at the end includes mixing in shredded fish and lard—young Anana carefully fashions three dolls, then signs and dances them to life. Away the bound, to cover the hills with cranberries, blueberries, and salmonberries. Sloat dresses her smiling figures in mixes of furs and brightly patterned garb, and sends them tumbling exuberantly through grassy tundra scenes as wildlife large and small gathers to look on. . . . Young readers will be captivated by the action, and by Anana's infectious delight."— Kirkus Reviews

A powerful tribute to a majestic animal!
"The Buffalo was a way of life for the Indians of the Great Plains. It provided food, fuel, and clothing - all the basic needs. The first Americans celebrated the buffalo's sacred spirit with ceremonies, prayers, and songs. The buffalo taught that all living things, including humans, are equal in the natural world. The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of forests, plains, pueblos, or mesas. He fits into the landscape, for the hand that fashioned the continent also fashioned the man for his surroundings. He once grew as naturally as the wild sunflowers; he belongs just as the buffalo belonged" - Oglala Sioux chief
Beverly Brodsky's watercolors and oil paintings accompany tribal song-poems woven into a narrative history about the buffalo's essential and sacred role on the Plains. Her book is a powerful tribute to a majestic animal, tracing the history of the buffalo from the beginning of time to present day.
"Brodsky has made a magnificent re-entry into the world of picture books with this historical look at the plight of the buffalo as related to the Native American experience. Museum-quality watercolors and oil paintings are breathtakingly stunning. Particularly dramatic is "Countless Millions," a watercolor spanning two pages—a dramatic depiction of the millions of buffalo that were hunted to near extinction. The author's first-rate text simultaneously relates the history of the demise of the western buffalo herds, presents tribal song-poems, and factual notes about the use of the song-poems and their relationships to the history of the buffalo and Native American customs." - Kirkus Review

"I was born in an earth lodge by the mouth of the Knife River, in what is now North Dakota, three years after the smallpox winter." - Buffalo Bird Woman
Born in the 1830s, Buffalo Bird Girl was a member of the Hidatsa people, a Native American community that lived in permanent villages along the Missouri River on the Great Plains. Like other girls her age, Buffalo Bird Girl learned the ways of her people through watching, listening and then doing. She helped plant crops in the spring, tended the fields through the summer - scaring off birds and other animals, as well as hungry boys! - and in autumn joined in the harvest. She also learned to prepare animal skins, dry meat and perform other household duties. Along with her chores, however, there was time for playing games with friends or training her dog. Her family also visited the nearby trading post, where all sorts of magnificent things from the white man's settlements in the East could be seen.
Interweaving the actual words and stories of Buffalo Bird Woman with his artwork and archival photographs, award-winning author and artist S.D. Nelson has woven a poignant yet vibrant story, beautifully capturing the spirit of Buffalo Bird Girl and her lost way of life. The book includes a historical timeline.
"The extraordinary illustration of this handsome volume begins with the endpaper maps and features acrylic paintings of the Hidatsa world reminiscent of traditional Plains Indian art. Pencil drawings and relevant, carefully labeled photographs round out the exquisite design. All the artwork both supports and adds to the text. An extensive author's note and timeline supplement this beautiful tribute." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Nelson's quiet, respectful tone capably balances the factual details of daily life in the Hidatsa tribe with the obvious joy and nostalgia Buffalo Bird Girl feels toward her childhood." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"As a writer, storyteller, and traditional artist of the Sioux people, his perspective is genuine and effectively portrayed. This book would be enjoyable for anyone interested in history, but would also be an effective resource in the classroom to support the curriculum."—Library Media Connection
"Nelson's acrylic paintings and b&w pencil drawings are intriguingly interlaced with the photographs, contrasting Native American figures in blunt profile with harvest colors and background textures that mimic dried spears of grass, leather skins, and basket weaves." — Publishers Weekly"

Heston Blumenthal and the College Scientists
The Molecular Gastronomy research group was set up to create a new opportunity for talented chemistry students. The project allowed them to experience the life of a researcher and work with the experimental chef, Heston Blumenthal.
The project was started by a chef with a background in Molecular Science - Luciana Bianchi, who works here at College - and two of our science staff - Fiona Revell and Lesley Brewer.
The 10 selected students were: Sam Cobb; Katy Sworn; Claire Stratford; Alexander Cobb; Hannah Bruton; Sam Page; Leah Devaney; Harry Uzzell; Samantha Marais, James Coverdale and Katie Roe.
With expert guidance the students decided to research Aroma Encapsulation - a technique which can trap a smell or a flavour in a solid compound.
After several months of meetings, lab hours, and research, the finished project came to an end. Heston invited the group to the Hinds Head, where they were able to present and explain their ideas.
Heston was truly impressed with the quality of the work, which was afterwards sent to his experimental kitchen to be used in his own menus.
Afterwards, the group spent the morning visiting all the facilities and talking with the staff from The Fat Duck. The journey finished with a very special lunch at the Hinds Head, experiencing the food with some added treats from 'The Sweet Shop of Heston Blumenthal'.

Our main Ethos is:
To promote the ethos of choice, opportunity and respect for people with learning disabilities.
The ethos of Valuing People underpins all activity across Learning disability Services. Similarly, the involvement of staff, people who use services and their families, along with the work of the Learning Disabilities Partnership Board, actively encourage and promote positive changes to the lives of people with learning disabilities and their families/carers.
The ethos is of empowerment and promoting independence - 'working with' rather than 'doing to'. Both service users and their carers want the emotional and psycho-logical issues in their lives to be addressed, and practical problems tackled.
The balance of valuing people and empowerment has been addressed with the introduction of person-centred planning.
The overall ethos of St Albans Mencap's care is based on supporting people at home, living independently wherever possible and as full participants in the community. What matters most is that the service is there, where and when it is needed. The key is to have consistent quality and equitable access to support when ever it is required.

The nonprofit and nonpartisan group says police, fire and EMT needs will be shortchanged by about $100 billion through 2008.
"America's First Responders and the Federal Budget: A Study of Rhetoric Versus Reality" bases its estimate of the $100 billion shortfall only on budget figures for the Department of Homeland Security and does not take into account any cuts to first responder funds that reside in other federal departments. The report notes congressional and administration promises "for full funding for first responder needs such as additional personnel, new equipment and interoperable radio systems, appear to be rhetoric with insufficient subsequent action. The complicated federal budget process and a surprising lack of commitment by elected officials have resulted in this less-than-adequate funding and a continuation of obstacles that hinder first responders – an overall trend of declining federal support was found."
Commissioner Bill Fox of the Metropolitan Fire Association of New York City, said, "Following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11th, the United States government and people from all sectors of our society praised the dedication and sacrifice of the nation's first responders. With these accolades came a promise of increased funding, better equipment and expanded training to better prepare first responders for potential future disasters and improve America's first line of defense. Unfortunately, that glowing rhetoric has turned into a bitter reality in which the promised funding is not being delivered."
First responder funding goes to many different programs that provide resources for activities such as hiring new personnel, purchasing new equipment, developing training programs and updating communications networks to achieve interoperability. According to the report:
- Fire departments across the country have only enough radios to equip half the firefighters on a shift, and breathing apparatuses for only one third.
- Police departments in cities across the United States do not have the protective gear to safely secure a site following an attack with weapons of mass destruction.
- Mmost cities do not have the necessary equipment to determine what kind of hazardous materials emergency responders may be facing.
"In the less than 4 years that have passed since Sept. 11th, the federal budgets for first responder grant programs have been reduced. These results do not match the urgency contained in many of the continued public remarks on the topic. In addition, first responders who have equal needs find themselves competing for shrinking resources. In addition, they spend enormous amounts of time preparing detailed applications for these limited funds. The bureaucratic grant distribution process is an additional and unwarranted hurdle for first responders," said Gene Stilp, president, Dauphin-Middle Paxton Fire Co. #1 in Dauphin, Pa. The First Response Coalition is calling on Congress to honor its promise to provide the necessary support for First Responders. According to the report, two immediate steps that are needed from Congress:
- Freeing up more spectrum for public safety. The DTV transition will only provide an additional 24 megahertz (mHz), when it is considered likely that more will be needed as spectrum uses moves beyond voice into data/video.
- Encouraging the development of regional interoperability solutions similar to a successful program developed in Virginia. Centrally coordinated and designed communication systems that actively involve input from first responders on the ground are the most successful, and can reduce the cost and improve efficiencies as the systems are upgraded over time.
"It is simply wrong for policymakers to promise needed funds to first responders and then fail to deliver," said Todd Main, director, First Response Coalition. "This puts communities and first responders that protect them in danger. The needed money should flow directly to the communities. It is the responsibility of both political parties to live up to their promises."
