Hi Bryan Here….
IFC has picked up two new scripted comedy series, 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' and 'Bunk'. Both have received orders for 10 episodes to premiere back-to-back in June as a one-hour original comedy block. From my guess, with the somewhat success of 'Portlandia', IFC is getting more into the original programming. But by the sounds of these two new series, I don't see them lasting very long.
'Comedy Bang! Bang!' is a sketch variety show featuring celebrity guests, comedy sketches, and animation. The series is hosted by Scott Aukerman (Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis) and based upon his podcast of the same name. Music will be provided by the show's resident one-man bandleader Reggie Watts (Conan O'Brien).
'Bunk' is a game-show parody featuring a rotating lineup of comedian contestants performing absurd comedy challenges, created by Ethan T. Berlin and Eric Bryant, and hosted by stand-up comedian Kurt Braunohler.

Kardomah 94's monthly restaurant/bar art show focusses on Bridlington painter Patricia Thompson in July 2016.
Patricia studied Fine Art at the Hull Regional Collage of Art, receiving a full classical training, followed by Interior Design in London and study in S>A>I>D Illustrators studio.
Being part of the London Scene in the 60's and then travelling widely, greatly contributed to her work which displays versatility and originality. Her pictures ranges from drawing and water colours to oil pastels and oil paintings and she both works in-situ and en-plein-air. Her work ranges from narrative illustration to far more refined studio work. Her skill allows her scope to extend from loose French café life to much tighter architectural and formal figurative pieces. Patricia's expressive work is known for its spontaneity, impressionism and atmosphere. This is created through line and a unique use of colour. Her works have been widely exhibited and sold in London, the UK and internationally with her customers including collectors, dealers and private buyers.
Her work can be seen in the café at Kardomah during the whole month of July.

Androgenetic Alopecia
This is the most common type of hair loss in men. It affects approximately 50% by age 50. It is characterized by progressive loss of hair in a certain pattern. The typical site of involvement are: the front of the scalp, mid scalp, side of the scalp and the vertex. This is otherwise known as male balding or male pattern hair loss.
This is more common in Caucasians and less so in Asian or African-American men. A family history is often present, but a negative history does not exclude this. It is due to both hormonal and genetic factors. The growth phase of the hair is typically shortened and there becomes a shift in the growth vs resting phase of the hair cycle. Follicles undergo miniaturization and coverage of the scalp decreases.
The key androgen involved in the induction and promotion of male pattern baldness is Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a metabolite of Testosterone and has a greater affinity for the androgen receptor. The enzyme 5 -alpha-reductase converts Testosterone to DHT. DHT binds to the receptors at the cellular level and activates genes which transform large follicles to smaller follicles and shorter growth phases.
Androgenetic Alopecia is seen by different degrees of hair thinning and nonscarring hair loss. This is a continuous process which progresses over time. It comes in waves with some men noticing it at more rapid intervals.

Welcome to DANISH™'s advent calendar. Every Friday before Christmas, we open a new window and reveal a little special something for you to enjoy, while waiting for the big day. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
December is here, and at DANISH™ we welcome it with arms wide open! This festive winter month we look at some of the seasonal Danish Christmas designs.
The Oak Men
A small protector of joy and happiness. The little wooden angel is designed and produced by The Oak Men, two Danish cabinetmakers from the outskirts of Aarhus. The two specialise in making cool home accessories that men can relate to and want to put on their shelves. This little holiday angel comes in two versions, oak and smoked oak, both with a brass top.
Go get your own little guardian angel
Kähler has a quite impressive line of Christmas products. Looking at the company's Nobili collection, you'll find some of the finest tea light holders to decorate your Christmas table. The holders come in different sizes and shapes, so whether you're into round igloo-like holders, a spikey Christmas tree look or maybe a hanging holder, there's something for you!
You'll find the light holders here
Kay Bojesen
Since 1948, Danish silversmith and designer Kay Bojesen's much-loved Santa Claus figure has been living the sweet single life. But this year, after almost 70 years as a bachelor, he is in good company with Mrs Santa Clara – 20 centimetres of pure, loveable beech. The two make a beautiful couple and will trim any home in the run-up to Christmas.
Get your Santa Clara now!
If you're allergic to pine needles or simply don't want all the mess a traditional Christmas tree brings to your home, keep reading. The Filigrantræ (filigree tree) is designed by Danish architect Trine Find. Her minimalistic design approach comes to life in this reusable tree, which is designed to be taken apart and reused year after year. The Filigrantræ is handmade, and designed and produced in Denmark.
Want your own Filigrantræ?
A hint of everyday glamour. That's how Nordstjerne designs. This Danish company creates functional designs with a touch of decadence. Their inspiration comes from the Nordic landscapes, which is seen in their Christmas designs. These delicate paper ornaments come in four shapes and several colours and will fit a window ledge or a Christmas tree.

The PhD AgriFood has been developed in conjunction with the agrifood industry as a highly flexible programme that can be tailored to individual training needs, to enable professionals working in the agrifood sector to undertake high level, structured, continuing professional development.
The doctorate comprises three components:
The objective of the taught component is to provide participants with the theoretical, practical and transferable skills for a continuing career in the Agrifood and allied industries, in a part-time format that will fulfil the requirements for Continued Professional Development (CPD). Participants will achieve 120 credits, where a minimum of one third of credits will be taken at the University of Nottingham. The remaining two thirds may be taught by one of the AFTP partners or may be transferred in using approved APL or APEL.
These parts enable participants to demonstrate the capacity to undertake original research in the field and thereby contribute to the growing body of knowledge and technology in the AgriFood industries. By the end of the programme candidates will have:
This programme has been specially developed by professionals in the School of Biosciences, one of the University's most successful schools, in conjunction with the AgriFood AFTP's academic and industrial partners and collaborators
Our dynamic teaching and research team offers the opportunity to learn under the guidance of expert practitioners, educators and researchers.
You will have the opportunity to:
Completing this course results in a postgraduate qualification. See Our Qualifications for more information.
This programme has been designed with maximum flexibility in mind: you study part-time and follow a modular structure which allows you to progress at a rate to suit your own personal and professional situation. To progress to the doctorate you will need to study 3-4 modules in the first three years. There is only one compulsory module and you are able to discuss study options with the course leader. You will be expected to complete your course of study in no more than six years.
Please note that module availability may change from year to year and different modules may be available from those detailed below.
Core module:
Optional modules:
Modules run throughout the year and are timed to fit in with industry requirements. The professional doctorate requires the following three elements of study and research activities for completion:
Taught element
This requires participants to write a literature review for the general research area proposed, in consultation with a University project supervisor(s). The literature review should be a critical review of the current research relevant to the project and provide a focussed account of the previous work leading up to the current state of knowledge on the questions to be investigated. This will require finding appropriate literature from library/electronic sources and bringing together related aspects of the work into a cohesive overview.
The second task is to complete an initial 10-12,000 word research plan. The research plan should include a clear statement of the problem to be investigated (the overall aim), the resources available and the rationale behind the design of the study.
Part 2 also includes a compulsory presentation at the annual AATP symposium.
Research and thesis phase
Part 3 requires candidates, in consultation with their project supervisors, to undertake original research in an approved topic in a relevant field and complete a 50,000-60,000 word thesis.
Following acceptance on to the course, each participant will have the opportunity to discuss their individual needs with members of the course team resulting in an agreed plan of study. All participants will be allocated a Personal Tutor who will provide academic and pastoral support throughout the course. Information on University provisions for student support will be given to each participant.

With summer's sweltering temperatures ravaging much of the United States, people and pets want to find ways to cool off. Perhaps a dip in the pool, a sojourn to a nearby lake, or wading in a creek or river – these can be fun activities. But, when it comes to pets and water, there are a few things to keep in mind:
caring for your senior cat
In just a few short weeks, my two cats, Murphy and Bailey, will turn 12 years of age. They are sisters, even though they look nothing alike. My husband and I adopted them when they were about 10 weeks old, being born of a feral mother who allowed herself to be taken into a friend's home a few days prior to giving birth; it was like Mamma knew she needed to be somewhere safe to protect her newborns. Everyone received a new home, and on August 1, our two girls will become even more "senior" at the ripe age of 12.
Prior to Murphy and Bailey coming into our lives, my husband and I had a long-haired orange and white cat which I brought into our marriage. This cat, Ama, was also a rescued kitty; I adopted her from the Bozeman (Montana) Humane Society in 1990, and she lived until she was more than 18 years of age.
Cats often live to middle-to-late teens, and even some to age 20 and beyond. In fact, the oldest cat known is Crème Puff, who lived to be more than 38 years of age. Senior cats require extra-care. For example, they often can't groom themselves as well as when they were younger, especially the long-haired variety. Experts recommend frequently brushing your older cat. Thankfully, my girls were brushed while they were very young, and therefore, they are used to it and they enjoy it. In fact, they know the word "brush," and come running when I call their names and add the word "brush."
Other care one needs to take with senior cats include:
Diseases common to senior kitties include renal failure, diabetes, cancer, and overactive thyroid. Many pet experts recommend twice-yearly visits to the vet since cats are good at hiding pain and can't tell you if they're feeling sick or where it hurts.
Caring for a senior cat can take extra time in your day, extra expense in your budget, and extra love and compassion. But, your feline friend deserves all the "extras" you provide, for s/he has provided you the companionship and devotion you longed for, whether you've had your cat from kittenhood, as my two girls, or adopted at an older age, as was my Ama. Each cat has blessed my life, and I'm thankful to have enjoyed so many years with each of them!

The heat of summer is upon a lot of us, with scorching temperatures of 95+ – and it's barely July! Such temperatures are hard on people as well as pets. Like humans, pets need to keep cool, so running fans and air conditions in the home not only benefit us, but also benefit our pets. Like people, pets can experience heat exhaustion and heat stroke, so be aware of your pets' health as you combat the heat.
Here are five tips for helping your pet deal with this year's sweltering heat:
Also remember to not take your pet in the car and leave them there during the summer. Humans cool themselves by relying on an extensive system of sweat glands and evaporation; dogs and other animals have a more difficult time staying cool, therefore, they are very vulnerable to heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which happens frequently when pets are left in vehicles.
Parked cars quickly trap the sun's heat. According to various studies done, a vehicle's indoor temperature can rise 20 degrees F in just 10 minutes. In 20 minutes, it can rise almost 30 degrees, and in 60 minutes, it can rise nearly 40 degrees. Even on a 70-degree day, if you leave for an hour, your car can be 110 degrees inside. Even having windows down somewhat makes little difference. Rarely does a summer go by without the tragic death of pets left in parked vehicles. Visit MyDogIsCool to learn more and print flyers to help others.
There are still many weeks left in the Summer of 2017, which means a lot more days of blistering temperatures. Let's do all we can to make the season as comfortable and safe for our beloved pets as we can!
Every summer first responders are called to the scene of a child or pet left in a car. Already in 2017, 15 children have died, most of them in Texas. Pets, especially dogs, suffer the same deadly fate, and K-9 units are not immune; even in my own community, a K-9 four-legged officer named Nyx died after left in a hot car three years ago. Although it's fun for us to take our pets on a car ride, summer is not the best season to do so. Summer and pets and cars can lead to tragedy, so it's best to leave your furry companion in the coolness of the house while you are out and about.
The hot season poses another threat to our pets: fireworks. Although we humans may think the colorful display to be amazing and we tend to ignore the noise, the flashes, booms, and shrills of fireworks upset many pets. A dog's ears are more sensitive than a human's; in fact, dogs hear higher frequencies than people and they hear much better than we do. Therefore, the noise from fireworks is worse for them. During the 4th of July week, many pets escape, becoming lost, which can lead to death being hit by a car or land the animal as a stray at the city shelter/pound. In fact, reports say shelters receive more animals during the 4th of July week than any other time. Therefore, keep your pets secure in a room in your home with comforting things like its pet bed and toys, as well as food and water. Give your pet a safe place to be inside your home while firework displays, sparklers, and other 4th of July paraphernalia are being used.
There are many things you can do to help your pet be safe during this time of year; here are few ideas:

Have a wonderful week!

Northern Ireland pensioner with Bupa has to join NHS waiting list for heart surgery
An 85-year-old Bupa customer is back on an NHS waiting list for heart surgery after the insurance company pulled out of Belfast trust hospitals, it can be revealed.
The man, who has dementia, is now facing a wait of at least six months for the valve replacement surgery as an NHS patient - despite paying almost £8,000 to Bupa for private medical insurance for him and his 75-year-old wife in January.
The operation cannot be carried out at any of Northern Ireland's private hospitals as they don't have the intensive care facilities required when a patient undergoes such a procedure.
However, Bupa no longer refers its patients to NHS hospitals here, and the man, who first took out health insurance with the company in 1979, is too unwell to travel to an NHS hospital in England.
The insurance firm is now facing possible legal action over the situation and the matter is also to be referred to the Financial Ombudsman.
The pensioner's ordeal began in June this year when a pre-existing heart condition began to deteriorate.
He was becoming increasingly breathless and dizzy and, following a visit to his GP, he was referred for a number of tests and was told he required valve replacement surgery.
The cardiac procedure was available to Bupa customers at the Royal Victoria Hospital until April, when the firm temporarily suspended its recognition of all Belfast Trust facilities after it emerged it did not have the necessary medical negligence insurance.
However, Bupa did not inform its customers of the change and the public was only made aware of the reduced services when the situation was highlighted by this newspaper.
Lawyer Emma Fox of Fox Law, who is representing the man, said it was currently unclear what treatments were available through Bupa in Northern Ireland and that the company must clarify the position.
"My clients have paid a lot of money to have private health insurance that in the end has not provided them with what they expected it would when they needed it," she said.
"My client continues to await his treatment some five months on, while the effect of his condition has adversely impacted on his quality of life since June this year.
"If he had the treatment by now, he would be enjoying the things he was doing before.
"The whole matter has caused my client stress and anxiety.
"I'm in correspondence with Bupa to ascertain exactly what treatments and procedures cannot be provided in Northern Ireland.
"On behalf of my clients I will consider, when all the information is available to me, whether to commence a civil action for unfair inducement or misrepresentation to enter into the agreement."
James Sherwood, Bupa's director of health and benefits management, said: "We made the difficult decision earlier this year to temporarily stop sending our customers to NHS Belfast Trust because it does not have the medical negligence insurance in place to treat private patients in its hospitals."
He said it had apologised to the man as he "did not receive the correct information from us initially and confirmed that we will cover his travel costs".
He added: "If any Bupa customer needs treatment that cannot be carried out in Northern Ireland, we will cover the costs for them and a relative to travel elsewhere in the UK."
The man has also claimed that Bupa initially told him the company would pay him £240 expenses to travel to England, but then withdrew the offer.
After being approached by Ms Fox, a spokeswoman from Bupa confirmed that the company covered travel and accommodation costs of £240 per person and "would look to offer further support for a customer on a case by case basis".
Ms Fox said: "If someone has to book flights last minute, £240 isn't a lot of money."
The lawyer said she is referring the matter to the Financial Ombudsman.
She has also urged other Bupa customers who have been affected by the reduction in services available in Northern Ireland to contact her.

PRAGUE, March 26 (Reuters) - Czech lottery firm Sazka filed for insolvency under pressure from creditors late on Friday, the company said in a statement.
Sazka's chief executive, Ales Husak, had earlier said the firm, which has been late with payments to a range of creditors including bondholders, would likely seek reorganisation to avoid being wound down.
The company, owned by Czech sports unions, said it would give further information on Sunday.
A Prague court had already appointed a preliminary receiver and creditor committee for the firm earlier on Friday, pending a decision on previous insolvency claims by creditors. The Friday filing by Sazka itself may speed up the proceedings.
Sazka had 10.5 billion crowns ($606 million) in debt as of September 2010, the majority of that amount in bonds.
The company had delayed part of a payment on its 2021 amortising bond CZ025854705= in January and lost its rating from Standard and Poor's. It made the payment later.
The Finance Ministry, which regulates the gaming industry, has been investigating Sazka after it failed to pay lottery prizes on time earlier this month. Sazka has said it had resumed making payments. [ID:nLDE72E0XC]
Private equity group PPF, owned by billionaire Petr Kellner, took over part of claims against Sazka earlier this week. [ID:nLDE72K20D]. Another big creditor is investor Karel Komarek.
Sazka got into deep debt after building a 17,000-seat arena for the 2004 ice hockey World Championship. (Reporting by Jan Lopatka; Editing by Ruth Pitchford)

Arizona Nearly Upsets No. 19 TCU, Falls 13-10 In Overtime
By BOB BAUM
AP Sports Writer
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Nick Browne kicked a 33-yard field goal in overtimeafter missing from 36 and 25 yards in regulation as No. 19 TCU escaped with a13-10 victory over Arizona on Saturday night.
The Horned Frogs' lone touchdown came on a 98-yard pass play from BrandonHassell to Reggie Harrell with 2:44 left in the first half. It was thesecond-longest play in TCU history and the longest ever allowed by Arizona.
The surprising Wildcats had the ball first in the overtime, but JeremyModkins intercepted Kris Heavner's pass on the second play. The Frogs (4-0) ranthe ball three times to set up the winning kick.
TCU was without its usual starting quarterback and top two tailbacks.
Freshman Robert Merrill gained 148 yards in 31 carries for the Frogs and hadan 80-yard touchdown run called back by a holding penalty. He ran three timesinto the line to set up the winning kick.
Heavner, a true freshman from Johnson City, Texas, completed 14 of 29 passesfor 276 yards and a touchdown in his first collegiate start. He threw threeinterceptions, however. Ricky Williams had five catches for 131 yards, all inthe first half.
Browne kicked a 24-yard field goal with 1:07 to send the game into overtimeand spoil Arizona's bid for its first victory over a ranked team in threeyears.
Heavner's 58-yard screen pass for a touchdown to tight end Steve Flemingtied it at 7 with 9:40 left in the third quarter, then Bobby Gill's 30-yardfield goal put the Wildcats ahead 10-7 with 10:11 remaining.
TCU drove from its 26 to the Arizona 9 late in regulation, but a holdingpenalty pushed the Frogs back, and they had to settle for Browne's tying kick.
It was sweet redemption for the kicker, who was 5-for-5 coming into the gameand was Conference USA special teams player of the week after going 3-for-3with a 50-yarder last week against Vanderbilt.
The Wildcats (1-4) had been outscored 166-30 in their last three games, werecoming off a 59-7 loss at Purdue. Rumors swirled about coach John Mackovic'sjob status.
But Arizona's hard-hitting defense and Heavner's passing kept the Wildcatsin it throughout.
The Wildcats drove to the TCU 29 late in the first half, but Heavnerunderthrew Williams over the middle and Marvin Godbolt intercepted on the Frogs2.
On the next play, Hassell retreated into the end zone, pump-faked once, thenthrew to a wide-open Harrell, who outraced all defenders to the end zone.
The 98-yard TD play was second only to TCU's 99-yard play from Scott Ankromto James Maness against Rice in 1984. The previous longest play allowed byArizona was a 91-yard pass from Stanford's Steve Stenstrom to Brian Manning in1993.
The Wildcats tied it at 7-7 with 9:40 left in the third quarter when Heavnerthrough an inside screen pass to Fleming, and the big tight end rambled to theend zone on a 58-yard play.
Gill missed a 37-yard field goal in the first quarter.
The game began with Mackovic under a cloud of uncertainty after about 20players were barred from the team dinner Friday night for failing to show upfor meetings with the coach earlier in the day. None of the players wassuspended, however.
TCU's regular starting quarterback, Ty Gunn, was in uniform on the sidelinesbut did not play. He has been sidelined since injuring his right shoulder inpractice on Sept. 9. Tailbacks Ricky Madison and Lanta Hobbs also are out withinjuries.
Hassell had never thrown a pass in a game and the freshman Merrill had nocarries until last week against Vanderbilt.

Jefferies analyst George Notter wrote Wednesday that Ciena Corp. CIEN, -2.91% looks to be the "primary beneficiary" of market-share consolidation in the optical-systems industry, following Cisco Systems Inc.'s CSCO, -0.81% announcement that it would be purchasing Acacia Communications Inc. ACIA, +0.04% in a deal valued at $2.6 billion. Notter wrote that optical innovation is happening more rapidly, requiring larger research-and-development budgets. "As such, smaller optical suppliers will increasingly struggle to keep up with vendors such as Ciena and Nokia NOK, -1.40% which have sizable R&D budgets, own their core technology, and operate in scaled business models," he wrote. "We view Ciena as having reached an 'escape velocity' relative to the rest of the industry." Notter doesn't expect that Ciena is worried about the Acacia deal because Ciena's roadmap looks to be ahead of Acacia's by at least a year. Ciena shares have gained 28% so far this year, while the S&P 500 SPX, +0.01% has risen 19%.
Ciena stock looks attractive following Cisco/Acacia deal, says analyst

Press Release
Giffords Endorses Congressman Darren Soto for Congress in Florida
Washington, DC — Giffords, the gun safety organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and Captain Mark Kelly, announced its endorsement of Congressman Darren Soto for reelection in Florida's ninth congressional district.
Congressman Darren Soto has been a strong voice for common sense gun laws in Congress. He voted against the gun lobby's dangerous concealed carry reciprocity measure last year and has advocated for requiring background checks on all firearm sales as part of his five point gun safety plan. Florida families are tired of inaction from Congress when it comes to addressing our nation's gun violence epidemic. Congressman Soto has heard their voices and will continue to fight for their interests in Washington.
"Darren Soto is a fighter who has stood up to the gun lobby in Congress, refused to stay silent on the need to address our gun violence crisis, and championed legislation that will save lives," said former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, co-founder of Giffords. "We are proud to endorse Darren for re-election because he is committed to protecting not only the people of Florida, but communities all across the country. We look forward to continuing our work with Darren as we push for the solutions that will keep our schools, streets, churches, and neighborhoods safe."
"Congresswoman Gabby Giffords is a singular force in American life," said Congressman Darren Soto. "She is the definition of courage. It is humbling to have her support. Her, her husband Mark, and the entire Giffords organization are true leaders, and I am honored to work with them to end gun violence. The NRA is a determined opponent, but the great majority of Americans are seeing through their lies. Together, we will overcome them and pass real gun safety reform."
Giffords' #VoteCourage campaign is aimed at electing gun safety advocates to Congress and defeating politicians who have historically worked against gun reform, or done nothing at all to prevent gun violence. The political program targets incumbents in mostly suburban districts and uses a mixture of TV and digital advertising, on-the-ground organizing, and a voter registration push to create momentum for meaningful progress on gun safety.

Small Business Credit Card - The Good, the Bad and The Ugly
A small business credit card can help your company in many ways but of course, there is a downside if you do not know what to expect from your credit card company. Many people jump right in and apply for small business credit cards, get approved and start charging before they even read over the terms and conditions, that can be a very big mistake. However, a small business credit card can also benefit your company in several ways with great rewards and introductory offers.

I was looking back through some old pictures of water running in a creek,
and came to a picture of a creature staring back at me … an undine staring back at me. The water spirits are called undines.
It looks like it has a message for someone.

A female fox visited our yard a few days ago. The pair have denned under our barn twice.
It was a gloomy day, and Buffy and I had been in the house too long. So, we walked a loop of our backyard. She saw this wooden "creature" before I did.
It looked like a creature of unknown origin.
It was about 8-9 inches long. Now I'll be able to tell if any animal, like a fox, goes under the barn.
We woke to a damp drizzling morning. I hurried out to check to see if the wood had been moved ….
and, obviously, it was — only, the chunk of wood isn't the same one I photographed yesterday.
This mystery will require my attention often.

I usually head for the hills when the ice starts forming in a small rocky creek only four or five miles from our house. The water was touching the underside of the ice two days ago when I was here.
It touched very little of the ice today. Intricate designs, combinations of sizes and shapes were vying for attention.
My attention immediately when to the right side where a friendly, 4-legged creature was showing interest in what looked like a young bird.
This is the prelude to two blogs of the ice that was in this creek. The first one will be posted Sunday the 18th and the second the following Wednesday.

Everybody that knows me knows I like rocks. I have a fairly extensive fossil collection, have sandstone rocks for garden edging, for paths and cairns. Then there's the sandstone I like with the iron bands and ochre patterns. Don't want to forget my heart rocks and stone people (did blogs on both). My oldest son was in the army for 10 years, and he's given me rocks from Germany, Kansas, Indiana and Kentucky. Petrified wood is a big favorite of mine. Then there's the fluorite, calcite and other crystals.
I also have a collection of 50 or so of what I call "prehistorics." They each resemble the head of what looks like a prehistoric creature.
They just seem to find me somehow.

Project Description
This landscape was nearly 60 years old when we were hired to do a much-needed upgrade. We were given the challenge of creating beautiful landscaping using only drought-tolerant palms and plants since there is no irrigation on the property. In order to achieve this, we utilized a combination of native, naturalized, and exotic plant species including Coconut Palms, Pitch Apple, Yellow Lantana, and the highly-endangered Cherry Palm from the Florida Keys. We elected to use pine straw and crushed shell as the groundcover to give the property that "island look".

Family days out over EasterApril 5, 2012 at 12:54 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Tags: Cadbury Easter Trail, Cadbury World, children, Easter, Easter Egg Hunts, Family days out, Grandchildren, Local Attractions, Museums, national Trust, Trentham Gardens
As the long Easter weekend is nearly upon us I thought it would be nice to share my favourite Easter family days out. When you're planning a family outing remember to look online for discounts and offers and go early to make the most of your day!
National Trust- I'm a huge advocate of National Trust and often turn to their properties and gardens for family days out. This Easter National Trust have teamed up with Cadbury who will be hosting various different Easter Egg Trails in National Trust sites- find you're closest here. Along with Easter Egg Hunts in the most beautiful surrounds, children will also be able to take part in Easter themed quizzes and challenges, run the egg and spoon race and get their faces painted!
Check out the National Trust website for specific information about events near you and special membership offers with the National Trust. I recently received a 3 month free voucher which would be worth looking into if you're not already a member.
Cadbury World- For most children Easter is all about chocolate so a trip to Cadbury World is the perfect treat for Easter. Located in Birmingham, Cadbury World is easily accessible and offers visitors an in depth tour of Cadbury's and how they make their legendary chocolate. During the Easter period they will be hosting an Easter Eggstravaganza with a world class Easter Egg Hunt and some of the biggest and best Easter eggs you'll ever see. Definitely worth visiting!
Local Museums – Local Museums are brilliant places to visit during seasonal periods because they will both entertain and educate children. The majority of museums have a timetable of schedules activities; my local museum, The Potteries Museum, is hosting Easter craft sessions but you do need to book in advance so consider this before going along.
If you visit a museum over Easter check out which other exhibitions they are holding on the same day. Chances are it will be something which you will really enjoy and it's a great way of making the most of your day out.
Local Attractions- Spring has sprung, even if we had a blip yesterday, so get out and about and enjoy your local attractions. Here in Staffordshire the Trentham Estate is a great option with an outdoor shopping village, garden centre and beautiful lakes which are a real treat especially over a Bank Holiday weekend. And I'd imagine that the Easter bunny will be wondering around the gardens to keep children entertained too!
If all else fails check out my alterative Easter craft indoor activities from earlier this week. Enjoy!

Discussion in 'football' started by Lord Camomile, Jul 5, 2018.
Oh yes they got beat didn't they...oops. I don't have a striker sub though...doh! Maybe play a 4-4-2
I'm happy with who I bought, but I am sad about who I sold. I suspect I might have done better this week with the players I sold than those I bought, but I could not delay for price reasons so I will just have to take it on the chin. I've had enough practice of that this season
How do the value changes work? Cos Arnautovic is the 9th highest scoring striker, scored 3 in 5 games and just went down 100k?
elbows kindly explained it here! Fantasy Premier League 2018-19
so what? It's like betting? Doesn't go off performances?
So just more people have sold him than bought him?
Game changer.
Seems that way! I honestly thought prices were deemed by points scored.
This is going to do my head in.
Yeah, performance in the prior season probably has quite a large impact on what price the FPL game sets for a player before the season starts (which is why Salah was £13 million to start with this season) but after that its all down to people buying or selling players in sufficient quantities to trigger rises or falls in price.
No, it's more like buying and selling shares, than betting
Yep, this is right.
The formula is not disclosed but it works something like this:
There's a hidden threshold percentage that determines when the change is triggered. Let's say is 5%
If player is owned by 100 people and 25 buy him and 4 sell him, then his net transfer is +21 and 21 is 21% of 100 so the threshold has been reached and he goes up 0.1
As soon as the rise happens, the numbers are recalculated, so now he's 121 and 5% of that is 6.05 - that's the new net transfer rate that's needed to trigger a rise. Or fall, if it's -6.05
So higher owned players need more transfers to trigger rises/falls than lower owner players.
Buying stocks and shares is betting Fez.
Doubt sower belboid. Didn't people used to play 3 games on the trot. Men were men etc
I'm expecting 60 mins today, see what the sit is - if all good take him off.
"There's been a goal for Spurs"
"Who? WHO??"
"Lucas in lots of space on the right..."
"Bugger, so that's only an assist"
"His ball found Trippier"
"YES! Lucas assist for Trippier goal, I'll take that!"
"Who played it to Kane for a simple header into the net"
And then they go to a goal for Man City, where Aguero was apparently crucial but didn't actually get the goal or the assist.
I don't need influential, I need points!
And now Kane has scored a penalty! Those differential captains are going to screw me this weekend, aren't they?
At least you've still got Aguero on your squad!
Anderson repays the faith.
I did make Kane captain
I despise you
I was close to wildcarding to get him in and cpt - the mendy affair just dragged on too long so i delphed who didn't even play. Kane is a must for next few weeks.
i seem to be able to get players to come back in to form by selling them
Oh please, you're nowt special, we can all do that
Forgot to switch out Alonso for AWB or Tarkowski, so I'm hoping he and Robertson both concede goals to each other, but only each other
I really need AWB to get zilch on Monday; everyone around me has him, I've benched him.
Another 9 pointer incoming
Yeah, you're welcome
Haha I'm plummeting, I'm out of the top 50 in the U75 league for now at least. Perhaps I can recover a bit with my 4 players who dont play till Monday, but I doubt it. Never mind, I can keep my spirits up with a cunning plan regarding transfers for next week. Another 8 points will be spent lol.
Well, I soared to 86th !
You will NEVER beat me selling Berbatov the morning he scored five times for Manchester United.
Pretty sure I did the exact same thing.
Trippier was an excellent transfer decision for me this week, for Ryan Bertrand who got zero
Separate names with a comma.

President Mitterrand - The prince and his image by Paige, Hugues Le
From 1987 until 1993, Hugues Le Paige was one of the few journalists allowed into French President Mitterrands Inner Circle in the Elysee Palace, with exclusive access to him. As a result, this film is a collection of important and insightful clips from La Paiges personal footage and interviews he made with Mitterand during the waning years of his Presidency. Years after Mitterrands death, the filmmaker has now completed a sincere and personal reflection on the image of the Prince, and his ability to manipulate power.
Political Relevance
Political Relevance
Francois Mitterrand (1916-1996) was a French politician. In 1971, he became head of the Parti Socialiste. In 1981 Mitterrand defeated the incumbent conservative, Valery Giscard d'Estaing. Mitterrand became the first socialist of the Fifth Republic to be elected President of France by universal suffrage. The Parti Socialiste lost its majority in the French National Assembly in 1986, forcing Mitterrand to cohabit with the conservative government of Jacques Chirac. Nevertheless, Mitterrand was re-elected President in 1988 and remained so until 1995.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Analysts at Smith Barney began coverage of insurance broker W.R. Berkley Corp BER, +4.94% with a hold rating, but said the firm has more operating leverage than peers and its earnings should outpace rivals over the foreseeable future. "The stock trades at a significant premium to the property and casualty peers. However, we believe this premium is justified by superior return on equity," the analysts said. Smith Barney put a target price of $38 on the shares, which closed Thursday at $34, off 57 cents.

Giving Thanks for Being an American
By Raquel Stabinski-Leib
I waved good bye from my window seat in the plane. I saw the two bent figures in the lookout terrace of the Havana airport, and I gave free rein to the contained tears that had threatened for so very long to erupt from my eyes. My parents, my friends and my country, the entire fabric of my life was being left behind.
The year was 1960, and I was a teenage girl headed toward the unknown. I needed to escape the oppressive regime of Fidel Castro and thought of the United States as my only source of salvation. I was not left disappointed as America welcomed me with open arms, adopted me and treated me as one of her children.
I arrived in the fall, a season I had never experienced, and was immersed in the beauty of the palette of colors that dressed up the trees. Then, as the leaves began to fall from the branches as tears from saddened hearts, and I could not imagine them coming back to life in the spring, Thanksgiving Day arrived, a holiday I knew nothing about but seemed to be bringing so much joy to everyone.
This was my first Thanksgiving, and when I bowed my head along with my hosts and the other guests to offer thanks for the bountiful table in front of us, I promised myself that from that day on I would forever choose that newfound holiday in this great land to celebrate the freedom pursued by many generations in my family without success until we finally attained it in America.
My father emigrated from Poland to Cuba as a young man. He did not know the language, he had no formal schooling, and no money, but he had an iron will. He married my mother, the daughter of poor immigrants herself, and together they embarked on the path of betterment for themselves and their children.
After years of hard work and myriad sacrifices, as my parents' business flourished we became well off, moved to our own home in the suburbs, bought a car, and my brother and I set out on the path of a privileged life.
Unfortunately, the internal political turmoil in Cuba during the '50s soon began to erode at our quiet prosperous existence. This was the time when Fidel Castro and his troops were battling in the mountains and hills of the Sierra Maestra in order to overthrow the regime of Fulgencio Batista and everyone in the country lived in fear. We were careful with what we said in the presence of strangers, and we stayed close to home since it was impossible to predict where or when the next bomb would go off.
Following Castro's takeover in January, 1959, we assumed that our long awaited normalcy was just at the turn of the next corner. Unfortunately, we had put all our hopes on a man who would soon begin to show his true colors. The fear of voicing our opinions continued, and it soon became evident that in Cuba, freedom of speech was already extinct and that we had exchanged a dictator for a communist.
Then the day came when my parents decided they best send me to El Norte. It was a sad parting to another culture with a different language, but they were confident that in America a brighter future awaited me. Fortunately, they were proven right.
Needless to say, my teenage memories are an intrinsic part of my everyday life, something I can never forget. I am painfully aware that living in a country where an individual has no human, civil or legal rights is like existing in spiritual slavery, incarcerated within the unmerciful rules of a tyrannical government. Now, as an American, I count myself blessed that I no longer live in panic for my life, my property or the well-being of my family. I am certain that I will never have to leave my worldly goods and start all over again in a far away land.
Lest I forget the privileges that this country has bestowed on me, I have kept the promise I made to myself 50 years ago and have continued to celebrate on Thanksgiving the good fortune of living in America, the greatest country in the world. As I remember my past under bondage, I am comforted by the knowledge that my gypsy days are over, and my family's wandering have come to an end. Most of all, I am thankful for the knowledge that history will not repeat itself on my children.

The Virginia Office of EMS promulgated regulations on January 15, 2003 which require that all training programs which lead to an initial certification at the Paramedic level be accredited.
Beginning January 1, 2013, paramedic students who are candidates for certification testing through the National Registry of EMT's (NREMT –www.nremt.org) are required to have graduated from a nationally accredited paramedic program – national accreditation is offered through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) in cooperation with the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the EMS Professions (CoAEMSP – www.coaemsp.org ). Accomplishing accreditation at this level will require the following steps:
- Currently accredited Virginia Intermediate programs wanting to conduct paramedic education will be required to first seek Virginia paramedic accreditation through the Office of EMS.
- If the site successfully completes the state paramedic accreditation process, they will be issued a grant of accreditation which will allow them to complete one (1) initial basic program (a cohort). CoAEMSP requires that each program seeking national accreditation have successfully completed an initial paramedic cohort.
- During training of this initial cohort, the program will be required to complete the CoAEMSP self study.
- At the completion of the first cohort, the program will need to submit their self study to CoAEMSP.
- When submitting the CoAEMSP self study, the program will have to request a Letter of Review from CoAEMSP. If the self study is complete and meets CoAEMSP requirements, the CoAEMSP staff will issue a Letter of Review attesting to the fact that the program has applied for national accreditation.
- The program will be required to submit the Letter of Review to NREMT and request that their initial cohort be allowed to apply for and complete NREMT certification testing.
- The ability for programs to announce and conduct additional initial paramedic training programs in Virginia will require that the program have successfully completed and been granted national accreditation through CoAEMSP/CAAHEP.
* Please note: The process outlined above is subject to change by CoAEMSP and/or NREMT.
If you have questions about accreditation or the accreditation process, please feel free to contact Debbie Akers via e-mail or call 800-523-6019.

How Does The Military Diet Work?
If you've ever wondered "how does the military diet work?" all you need to do is look at a soldier headed to combat to answer that question. The Military Diet is a program devised by top researchers for the United States military. Used as a program to train soldiers to combat-ready levels of fitness, the diet has the backings of both scientific research and a long history of success.
Millions of people around the world struggle to lose weight, and countless diets and supplements promise a fast fix with lasting results. However, as anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, this is typically a trial-and-error process that can quickly zap money, time, and motivation. Rather than waste resources, go with a program that guarantees results.
It goes without saying that the Military Diet was devised to optimize the nutritional intake of soldiers, so it doesn't require fancy foods or special supplements. Instead, it was designed to make the best use of common foods that could easily be distributed to training and active members of the military, meaning that it is a low-cost, uncomplicated diet program that works fast. So, how does the military diet work?
The Military Diet: Basics
The Military Diet includes a two-part process that is meant to optimize your body's metabolic processes and fat reduction. For three days a week, you eat a meal plan of restricted calories, followed by four "maintenance" days where you have a greater range of options.
Why and how does the Military Diet work so effectively? Because you are eating from a meal plan that combines foods known to be fat-burners or those that give you the nutrition you need while promoting the breakdown of existing fat stores. Therefore, while other diets may require periods of fasting or severe calorie reduction, the Military Diet allows you to eat a generous amount of food, even on the "active" days, which significantly reduces the chances that you relapse and gain more weight.
The Military Diet is designed to be used by both men and women and is praised for its uncomplicated approach to weight loss. Most users find that they already own a significant portion of the recommended foods, all of which are cheap and easily found at a local grocery store. Plus, it doesn't require any additional substances that can add significant cost and are often filled with synthetic chemical substances. The diet doesn't require knowledge of any cooking methods – it is all about getting you the nutrients you need quickly and efficiently.
The Military Diet is all about motivation and willpower, but it can be the most efficient way to slim down in an effective amount of time.
The 3-Day Military Diet
For the three days of reduced calorie eating, you'll eat from a specific meal plan of foods that have been combined to optimize your health and weight loss. Each day you'll eat fewer calories than the previous; on day one you'll have 1,400 calories, day two 1,200 calories, and on day three only 1,100 calories. This makes sure you don't negatively shock your body by zapping energy or getting headaches, but it does positively shock your body into using up existing fat. The diet plan is easy to follow and includes plenty of common foods, so you won't have to follow complicated directions or buy additional products.
You don't need to work out when on the three-day diet plan, but a healthy level of activity is always recommended. Stay away from the vigorous or strenuous activity, particularly early on in the diet, but if you can get some brief cardio in you will only enhance the overall results.
A great thing about the Military Diet meal plan is that it allows you to have some caffeine to help get through the day. However, aside from those two cups on day one, you'll want to stick to water when it comes to beverages. First of all, your body needs water to flush out toxins and to keep everything hydrated, particularly when you are eating a reduced calorie diet. Second of all, other beverage alternatives will sabotage your efforts. Avoid artificial sweeteners, and if you absolutely must have some flavor in your drink, squeeze a little lemon into your water.
The 3-Day Military Diet Meal Plan
One of the reasons the Military Diet has becomes so popular is that it is accessible for just about everyone. Because most of the foods are those that are commonly found in most households, you may find yourself spending less on groceries considering you'll be eating what you have, just in smaller amounts.
The 3-day meal plan may sound intimidating, but it is an easy-to-follow guide for weight loss success. Each day is broken down into three meals, each containing plenty of nutrition to get you through the day. It is important that you stick as much as possible to the foods on the list, as they have been chosen because of the way they interact with each other.
Day 1: 1400 Cal
On day one you'll be eating the most calories. For breakfast you'll have a meal consisting of:
- A cup of coffee or caffeinated tea
- One piece of toast
- ½ of a grapefruit
- 2 tbsp of peanut butter
At lunchtime, you'll have a quick and easy meal of:
- A cup of coffee or caffeinated tea
- ½ cup of tuna (canned)
- One slice of toast
The bulk of your eating will be done at dinner time, where you'll have:
- 3 oz of protein (lean meat is ideal)
- 1 cup of green beans
- 1 apple
- ½ a banana
- 1 cup of vanilla ice cream (yes, ice cream!)
Day 2: 1200 Cal
Already on day two, you'll likely wake up feeling better, and you're already halfway there! For breakfast you'll eat:
- One egg (prepared anyway)
- One slice of toast
- ½ a banana
When lunch time comes around you'll have:
- One egg (hard boiled)
- 1 cup of cottage cheese
- Five crackers (preferably saltines)
Again, dinner will be the bulk of your eating on day two, and you'll enjoy:
- Two hot dogs (no bun)
- ½ cup of carrots
- 1 cup of broccoli
- ½ a banana
- ½ a cup of vanilla ice cream (again!)
Day 3: 1100 Cal
By the time you get to day three, you'll find the motivation to eat the least amount of calories. Breakfast will be:
- 1 apple
- 1 oz of cheddar cheese (a slice)
- Five crackers (saltines)
Push through lunch on your final day with:
- One egg (ideally hard boiled, can be anyway)
- One slice of toast
Keep it simple for dinner on night three, but you'll be almost done after:
- 1 cup of tuna
- ½ a banana
- 1 cup of vanilla ice cream (what a reward!)
How Does The 3-Day Military Diet Work?
One of the main principles of weight loss is that you have to burn off more calories than you eat in a day so that energy gets derived from breaking down existing fat stores. The Military Diet simply uses this to your advantage by temporarily reducing your intake of calories – allowing your body to break down existing fat – while then enabling you to eat normally so that you don't have such a hard transition between being on and off the diet. This intermittent fasting also keeps your body on its toes, so that processes like digestion and metabolism are consistently working at their peak strength.
The Military Diet also takes into account the chemical properties of the chosen foods, including those that will work together to boost weight loss. The diet does allow for substitutions for those with dietary restrictions, but optimal effect comes from following the plan.
The 4-Day Plan
After your three days of fewer calories, you'll have four days of a maintenance diet in which you can eat normally. This is what causes many people to question how does military diet work because it seems impossible that you don't have to starve yourself for the three days "on," but you can also enjoy yourself on the four days "off."
However, your efforts on the four days off can impact how many times you have to repeat the diet, and how hard it can be to start up on that day one meal plan. If you go wild with the sweets and fats on your days off, you'll feel withdrawal when you can't have them again the next week. Plus, you'll run more of a risk of sabotaging all of your hard work during the process, as well as relapsing into an unhealthy diet when you finish the cycle.
How Does The 4-Day Military Diet Plan Works?
But how does Military Diet work when you are eating what you want? The key is in the balance. On the four days of maintenance, you shouldn't be gorging on everything you can find. Any additional weight added on only means your three days of dieting won't be as effective. It's important to structure your diet to be well-rounded so that you are instead training yourself to have better nutritional habits for when you stop doing the diet.
The biggest problem for people who have completed diets is keeping the weight off for good. Most people find that strict diets get them to their ideal weight, but that they are unable to continue them long-term, and gain excessive weight when they return to normal eating habits. Your maintenance phase on the Military Diet is a great opportunity to start to train your body to eat healthier and process foods better.
Try and plan out your meals, at least in your first weeks, so that you aren't tempted to overindulge. For example, instead of pigging out on pizza, beer, and chips on one day, and then trying to get by on just an apple the next day, give yourself reasonable guidelines for what foods you can eat, and how much of them to eat. Portion control is a major factor in maintaining an ideal weight, and while you don't always need to restrict them to the amounts of the three-day meal plan, you'll want to practice getting used to smaller portion sizes.
Exercise is also important during this time. While it's okay to skip strenuous exercises when you are in the three-day portion of the diet so that you don't feel faint or light-headed, you should maximize your workouts on the off days. First of all, you'll help make sure you are burning off enough of the calories you are taking in with your "normal" diet, but you'll also make sure your body looks leaner and stronger.
Reviews Of The Military Diet: How Does It Work?
At the end of the day, those who want to lose weight just want to know whether a diet does what it says it will. If looking at a history of the fit, an active military isn't enough to convince you that the Military Diet is effective, there are plenty reviews online of people who have found success using the diet.
One of the key things most people who have found success with the diet say is that like with any weight loss program, you will only be as successful as the amount of effort you put in. Those who haven't found immediate success often overindulge on the four days off, don't control portions during the meal plan, and arbitrarily swap out foods that they think are just as good. The program was designed to work as optimally as possible, which means that success rides on your ability to meet the caloric restrictions and the proper combination of foods that can chemically stimulate your body to shed fat.
A major benefit of the Military Diet is that it works fast. When followed rigidly, dieters can expect to lose up to as much as ten pounds each week; of course, this requires plenty of vigilance during the maintenance days.
If you find yourself asking how does the military diet work? Simply look at the thousands of people around the world who have found success with the program. Remember, if you need motivation, simply pull up some pictures of US soldiers, and know that you can look like them in only a week's time.

Paris…un peu d'histoire
Students have an opportunity for enrichment by viewing this PowerPoint on Paris. It is available early in French 1 and is of sufficient depth that it is in English for these students new to French.
There is significant text for those who read well. An abundance of images appeals to the visual learners. The narration is helpful to the auditory learners. Students who respond well to the unusual and quirky enjoy the "locks" on bridges slides.
They are encouraged to respond to what they find new and interesting in the early history of Paris. They can also point out what aspects of the city itself they find most engaging. Most will want to comment on the romantic idea of the"locks" on bridges placed there by those in love.
Paris pour Chapitre 7
This presentation is an enrichment activity to present a panorama of Paris in French as the students study a chapter on the city. This view of Paris shows the architecture, museums, history and culture of the capital of France. Students then have the opportunity respond to the most interesting site or the site they would most like to visit.
The text is in French and is especially enriching for those students who are gaining greater fluency. For the students who have not reached that fluency, there is the written French with narration in English. Visual learners find that numerous images enhance their learning. Students get an overview of the city many consider the most beautiful. In their comments, numbers of students talk about their desire to visit Paris one day and use the French they have learned.
EPortfolio 2015-16 Student Work exemplars
Students create a project in PowerPoint for each chapter/module in the French 1 courses. They are required to create a minimum of 4 slides using the chapter vocabulary and an audio exemplar for the project. Some of the new PowerPoint programs do not have the facility for recording and sending audio. Students then use a separate program (Vocaroo is preferred for its ease of use and posting.)
These are exemplars of student projects:
This student did resubmit with this project which was much closer to the assignment. She moved her grade from a 30 to a 60. She learned from her mistakes and was more successful on the projects that followed. A major issue was that she did not really read the directions for the project. It looked like she had used material from a previous report she had done. Since this was the first project, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. I did post a News item reminding all students that their work in the course needed to be new and their own.
Newsletter 10/20/16
Dear Parents and Students.
This newsletter will present how Halloween arrived in France. It also serves as our course update about grading.
Students are in the process of studying family and celebrations. It has been interesting that, in addition to Noël (Christmas), almost every French student has mentioned Halloween as a favorite celebration. Please watch the video below to see how Halloween came to France and how it is celebrated.
Grades have been updated. Please continue to follow your student's progress in the course via the parent auditor tool. We are rapidly approaching the final weeks of the course. Please encourage your student to keep eyes focused on the goal…successful completion of the course and an increasing grasp of French!
Please continue to remind your student that I am just a phone call or email away if help is needed.
Joyeux Halloween.
