Whilst we wait patiently for a new Ed Sheeran album, we'll need a new emotively voiced, earnest singer songwriter type, and we reckon we've found one with the lovely Lewis Watson.
Lewis has been building up a lot of buzz over the last year by releasing a slew of EPs including the most recent 'Songs With Some Friends', which includes collaborations with the likes of Hudson Taylor and Gabrielle Alpin, as well as new single 'Even If'. Not only that, but he'll also be playing a sold out gig with Conor Maynward at the Brooklyn Bowl in London on February 18th as part of the BRIT Awards week.
If you like your romantic, acoustic guitar-led balladry then look no further. We reckon Lewis has got what it takes to make it big but what do you think? Check out 'Even If' below.

This, along with findings following disasters such as the loss of space shuttle Columbia, suggests that a top priority for all senior leaders, managers, and supervisors in the chemical processing industry should be to positively influence the shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes prevalent in the workplace. This session will identify key issues associated with this need for influence and will provide actionable insight regarding how attendees can develop the power they need and the techniques required to catalyze their organization toward a committed, risk aware mindset rather than mere regulatory compliance. Topics will include elements of organizational culture, power, group decision-making, and leadership framing. Copyright © American Institute of Chemical Engineers. All rights reserved.

In the new year the EU referendum battle will heat up, and it seems the Conservative party are already starting to shuffle things around in preparation. Stephen Gilbert, the party's current deputy chairman, has today announced that he is standing down from this position.
When Gilbert originally became deputy chairman, it was agreed that he could also hold non-executive roles with other groups. In November, he took up a part-time position at Populus, the official polling company for the main campaign to keep Britain in the EU, Britain Stronger in Europe (BSIE). While this position was in accordance with Conservative party rules, the move infuriated plenty of Tory Eurosceptics, who felt it undermined the party's commitment to remain neutral during the referendum. Steve Baker MP, Co-Chairman of Conservatives for Britain, wrote to Lord Feldman in November expressing his concerns that Gilbert's role – along with a number of other pro-EU campaign positions held by Tory officials – was not in accordance with the official policy of neutrality.
It would seem Gilbert has taken note: his move, which is said to be his own decision out of 'respect' for the party, appears to have been taken to ensure CCHQ can preserve this commitment. Given the stepping up of the campaign that will inevitably happen in 2016, it's likely that Gilbert's departure is meant to quell rumbles of discontent within the party. There's a growing sense that the party leadership is not honouring the spirit of the neutrality pledge, so it's unsurprising that things are starting to be reordered to help ease Eurosceptic minds.
Gilbert is one of the party's most experienced campaigners, and played a key role in the 2015 campaign. It's unlikely that Number 10 will want to see him gone for too long – and a party insider suggests that he will probably return to CCHQ once the referendum is finished.

When adding links to my blog entries, I'm trying to use the "PopUp" option so it doesn't take readers away from my blog. However, it appears that when I try to use this option it messes things up. Brian, if you want to take a look at my new research blogging article, you can see what I mean (I try to link to an old article on my earlier blogspot blog). Am I not filling out all the options I need to, or is something problematic?
You just need to set target="_blank". I don't know what this pop-up thing you're referring to is all about :P Just use the stuff in the "general" tab.
The first read the title immediately attracted to read and this information is very valuable to me. Thank you for sharing with me

Do you love using chalkboards for decorating and organizing your home? Why not learn to create them yourself? Come find out how to make an easy, DIY chalkboard in any color with our paint!
In this brand new video tutorial, we'll show you our tips and tricks for creating your own DIY chalkboard in any color.
Watch this video to see our company co-founder, Rosanne making a beautiful chalkboard menu in Rocky Mountain!
How to Make a Chalkboard | Chalk-Based Paint Tutorial
Step 1) Shake and stir your paint
Choose any color from our line and make sure you shake and stir your jar before painting so all the ingredients are well mixed. You can use any color to make a chalkboard, but ordinary white chalk will show up best on a darker surface, so you may want to choose a dark color.
Step 2) Paint your surface
Now that your paint is ready, give your project three coats of paint. Although our paint has excellent coverage and will often look great with just one or two coats, we recommend three for chalkboards since they're going to be wiped down quite often. If you're unsure of how to prepare your surface before painting, click here to see our surface prep tutorial, and if you'd like to see some tips on how to achieve a smooth finish, click here.
Give your chalkboard at least 1-2 hours to dry before moving on to the next step.
Step 3) Season your chalkboard
Seasoning may sound complicated, but it's really just a fancy word for drawing all over your chalkboard, then wiping it off. This process helps to reduce any "shadows" that chalk can leave behind after being wiped down so you'll always have a nice clean slate to work with.
Lay a piece of chalk flat on your chalkboard and begin rubbing it all over your surface. Make sure you draw both horizontal and vertical lines so that every inch is covered. As soon as the whole piece is covered, use a damp cloth to wipe it clean. Now your chalkboard is ready to use!
Here's how the finished product turned out. Isn't it fun? The possibilities are endless, so go get creative!

Reblogged from OMTimes:
Living Mindfully and Compassionately with Mood Disorders
Manic depression, post-traumatic stress, and addiction are all complex psychiatric mood disorders that many suffer concurrently. Those of us who have been diagnosed with one or more of these mood disorders, or mental illnesses, (co-occurring) contend with debilitating symptoms, which may include severe anxiety, dramatic mood swings, rage, ruminations, flashbacks, and nightmares. Our manic episodes are often life-changing and can result in death. Although there are no cures for any of these disorders, adopting a Buddhist practice that includes mindfulness and Tonglenmeditations can augment our existing treatment protocol.
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness is simply being fully aware and present in the moment. It's like having an orchestra conductor inside our heads, who also serves as a gatekeeper—intercepting negative thoughts, such as urges, ruminations, flashbacks, and addiction cravings. When we're free of these triggers and symptoms, we can concentrate, reach a higher consciousness, and embrace insights, which can lead to emotional breakthroughs and healing.
Belly breathing is the core technique for practicing mindfulness meditation. Also referred to as "abdominal" and "diaphragmatic" breathing, this is our inborn way of respiring and it has distinct advantages over breathing from our chest. Belly breathing enables us to take in more oxygen with fewer breaths—with more carbon dioxide being expelled on the out breath. Increased utilization of our diaphragm to breathe lowers our heart rate and helps to stabilize our blood pressure. Belly breathing stimulates the area just below the navel, where our body stores chi energy. This is where our Buddha nature resides.
A Natural Mood Stabilizer
Those of us who suffer from the mood disorder of being bipolar face challenges that our friends and family often have difficulties understanding. A genetic predisposition and chemical imbalance can result in extreme highs and lows as well as rapid mood swings. A mindfulness practice can help us gain better control—not only of our thoughts—but of our emotions as well.
Being attentive from moment to moment enable us to be fully conscious of changes in our mood, which may occur suddenly. Mindfulness serves as a potent coping mechanism for us. When we find ourselves in a stressful situation or sense that we are becoming anxious, overly sensitive, irritable, hyper, fearful, or aggressive, implementing mindful breathing immediately helps us to pause and focus, instead of panicking, retreating, acting out angrily, or resorting to high-risk or excessive behavior—such as compulsive gambling, hypersexual activity, or wild shopping sprees. This brings our mind to a relaxed state, where it can rest and recharge, while maintaining full awareness. Mindfulness meditation reduces our anxiety and acts as a natural mood stabilizer. It is a great way to cultivate loving-kindness for ourselves.
The Four Noble Truths and 12-Step Recovery
Buddhism and the 12-Step Recovery Program have a lot in common. Both traditions promote community (sangha), spirituality, humility, accountability, making amends, ethical behavior, and of course—abstinence from intoxicants. In fact, most of the literature used in recovery fellowships is in accordance with the Eightfold Path.
One major difference between 12-Step fellowships and Buddhism is that the former advocate surrendering to a higher power, while the latter emphasizes the power within each of us. Those unfamiliar with Buddhism may be surprised to learn that Buddha presented himself as a teacher and instructed his followers to think for themselves and not take his words at face value. He did not wish to be worshipped. So addicts who are atheists or agnostics can adopt a spiritual practice without any expectation to turn their will or their lives over to anyone or anything. The solution for our suffering lies in our true nature….Read more here

Minnesota Power has been powering the mining industry for decades and its exciting to provide increased electric power to Magnetation, a company developing Iron Range resources in a new way and contributing to the overall health of our regions economy.
Magnetation LLC is a joint venture formed in 2011 between Magnetation, Inc. and AK Steel Corp. It produces high-quality iron ore concentrate from previously abandoned iron ore waste stockpiles and tailings basins using a patented magnetic separation process.
Minnesota Power provides service to two other Magnetation plants on Minnesotas Mesabi Iron Range as well as a rail loading facility. The largest of these, Plant 4 will require up to 20 megawatts MW of electric power and will produce 2 million metric tonnes of iron concentrates annually following completion of construction in late 2014.
Magnetation has said it expects Plant 4 to be operating early in the first quarter of 2015. Minnesota Power and Magnetation entered into an electric service agreement for Plant 4s 20 MW load through at least 2025 that was approved by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission in May 2014.
Magnetations Plant 4 required the Duluth-based energy company to permit and build the Canisteo substation and route and construct 115-kilovolt transmission lines totaling about ten miles in length. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission timely approved Minnesota Powers route permit application in June. Construction on the transmission project began in July and was expedited to match Magnetations aggressive plant start-up.
Were proud to work in tandem with an innovative new customer expanding its production, said ALLETE Chairman, President and CEO Al Hodnik. Minnesota Power has been powering the mining industry for decades and its exciting to provide increased electric power to Magnetation, a company developing Iron Range resources in a new way and contributing to the overall health of our regions economy.
Founded in 2006, the privately-held Magnetation Inc. was created with the intention of using magnetic separation technology to capture iron ore particles left over from previous mining operations on Minnesotas Iron Range dating back to the 1890s. Magnetation LLC has recently completed construction of a 3 million metric-tonne-per-year iron ore pellet plant in Reynolds, Indiana.
Once fully operational, Magnetation LLC will supply approximately 50 percent of AK Steels annual requirements of fluxed iron ore pellets. AK Steel operates blast furnaces at steel plants in Middletown, Ohio, Ashland, Ky., and Dearborn, Michigan.
Minnesota Power provides electric service within a 26,000-square-mile area in northeastern Minnesota, supporting comfort, security and quality of life for 143,000 customers, 16 municipalities and some of the largest industrial customers in the United States.

New Urban Design Provisions for Fishermans Bend
A draft new planning framework has been released for Fishermans Bend.
This follows the introduction of interim controls in 2015 and 2016, and foreshadows new permanent controls expected to be introduced by mid 2018. The Framework outlines overarching strategies for the whole of Fishermans Bend, but its detailed proposals focus on the four Capital City Zoned precincts (excluding the Employment Precinct north of the West Gate Freeway): Montague, Lorimer, Sandridge and Wirraway.
The Framework envisages a total resident population of 80,000 in Fishermans Bend, matched by 80,000 jobs. This new community is anticipated to be served by the extension of the tram network and a future rail line through Fishermans Bend.
The Framework is organised according to the Green Star – Communities framework of eight sustainability goals. Urban design provisions within the Framework include:
- New streets
- New public open spaces
- Density controls, including minimum employment floorspace requirements in certain areas
- Building height controls
- Building setback and separation controls
- Overshadowing controls
A summary of the proposed built form and density provisions can be found here.
There are also proposed provisions in relation to:
- Car parking rates
- Dwelling and building type diversity
The proposed planning controls are said to have been released for consultation, although this does not appear to have occurred yet.
Street network
The Framework proposes an array of new streets, shown most clearly in the precinct infrastructure delivery plans (extracted below). These are generally proposed to be 22m wide.
Public open space
A series of new public open spaces are proposed:
Land use
The Framework identifies 'core' areas (pink in the map below) where a minimum employment area is required in each development (see Density below). It also defines areas where 'primary' and 'secondary' active frontages are required.
The Framework proposes to introduce density controls in the form of a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) ranging between 2.1:1 and 8.1:1. In core areas (see map above), there is also a minimum density of commercial floorspace, ranging between 1.6:1 and 3.7:1. However, importantly, additional commercial floorspace above the minimum density is not included within the overall maximum FAR calculation.
Provision is made for a Floor Area Uplift (FAU) in return for the incorporation of affordable housing, community infrastructure or public open space within developments.
The Framework does not define how the total floor area that forms part of the FAR calculation is measured, nor how the FAU is to be calculated, although the background Urban Design Report prepared by Hodyl + Co. (http://www.fishermansbend.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0030/87069/Urban-Design-Strategy-171017_web-res.pdf) suggests that it is intended to be the Gross Floor Area. Given that some definitions of Gross Floor Area exclude balconies, external walls, vertical circulation areas and 'back of house' functions such as car parking and loading, the definition can make a huge difference to the allowable floorspace.
The density controls appear to be based on the 2050 population and jobs targets. However, the basis for these targets is not made clear. Nor is it explained why we need not be concerned with growth beyond that date.
building heights
A new maximum building height pattern is proposed as shown below. This departs considerably from the current controls, being generally lower in Wirraway, Montague and part of Lorimer, and higher in Sandridge.
However, the new height controls are proposed to be discretionary, except for the 4-storey maximum at the interface of Fishermans Bend and adjoining parts of Port Melbourne and South Melbourne, which is proposed to remain mandatory.
The height pattern (and the density pattern, which it correlates with) appears to respond to the envisaged public transport provision. However, the extension of the tram network and the new rail line remain uncommitted, and the language in the Framework suggests they continue to have a speculative nature. Given this, is it wise to fix the proposed density and height pattern so closely to them?
The Framework proposes to relate maximum street wall heights to street widths, as follows:
On streets 20m or more wide, buildings that do not exceed a total height of 10 storeys may have a street wall of 8 storeys.
Building Setbacks
Podiums up to 6 storeys can have a zero setback from side and rear boundaries where a blank party wall is provided.
Above the podium, the current mandatory 10m tower setback and 20m separation controls are proposed to be retained for towers of 20 storeys and higher. However, up to 20 storeys there is proposed to be flexibility to reduce setbacks and separations as follows:
These setbacks may be reduced adjacent to the West Gate Freeway and existing tram corridors.
New controls are proposed to protect parks from shadowing between 11am and 2pm at the winter solstice for 'precinct' and 'district' parks, and the September equinox for other parks.
communal open space
In Wirraway and Sandridge, outside 'core' areas, the Framework proposes to require communal open space within developments equivalent to 30% of the site area.
The new Framework establishes a clear urban structure for Fishermans Bend, including a public transport and street network, public open spaces, and a corresponding pattern of development intensity.
However, the proposed density (and height) controls raise some key questions:
- Is it appropriate to fix heights and densities so closely to a speculative public transport network?
- How is the floor area component of the FAR control to be measured, noting that the inclusion or otherwise of basements, balconies, vertical circulation and 'back of house' areas (sometimes excluded from Gross Floor Area calculations) can make a big difference to the allowable floorspace?
- What is the basis for the 2050 targets of 80,000 residents and 80,000 jobs, which the density controls seem to be driven by? And why should we not be concerned about providing for growth beyond that date?

Historic Preservation Tax Credit 'Graveyard Dead' In the NC Senate
Senator Tom Apodaca gave temporary hope to supporters of the historic preservation tax credit by scheduling a committee meeting only Wednesday, only to later reveal it was an April Fool's Day joke. Senator Apodaca scheduled a meeting of the Ways and Means Committee, which has not meet in years. He said of the bill's chances in the Senate, "As we say back where I live: It's graveyard dead," going on to say that all bills assigned to the Ways and Means committee are dead.
From the Fayetteville Observer article,
A bill that the N.C. House passed last week to bring back North Carolina's Historic Property Tax Credit program is dead in the state Senate, said state Sen. Tom Apodaca of Hendersonville.
"That's nothing the Senate will handle. It doesn't match anything we believe the historic tax credit should look like," Apodaca said in an interview on Wednesday evening. Apodaca is one of the top-ranked state senators and chairman of the Rules Committee -- a role that has great power over the fate of legislation.
Fayetteville leaders say the credit is a tool needed to foster the ongoing redevelopment of the city's downtown, including the long-suffering Prince Charles Hotel.
The credit would be a percentage of how much a developer spends to rehabilitate a designated historic property and could be used to lower his income tax bill. Developers typically sell such credits to investors to generate cash for the rehab.
Some have said rehabbing an old building is so expensive that it's not feasible to redevelop a distressed property without the credits. Apodaca disagreed, citing growth in his hometown.
North Carolina ended its Historic Property Tax Credit on Jan. 1. Gov. Pat McCrory, state House Speaker Tim Moore and elected officials from cities and towns statewide have loudly and repeatedly called for it to be reinstated.
After a revived edition passed the House on March 26 and moved to the Senate, Apodaca sent the bill to the Senate Ways & Means Committee. This three-person committee has not met in years. It's a committee where legislation is buried.
Apodaca had scheduled a meeting of the Ways & Means Committee for Wednesday afternoon. The move caught many in and around the legislature by surprise and worried supporters of the tax credit.
The meeting was scheduled as an April Fool's Day prank, Apodaca said. He canceled it on Wednesday afternoon, quipping that the committee's former chairman, a lawmaker from Charlotte who left office in 2012, was unable to attend due to heavy traffic.
The Ways & Means Committee has 11 other bills, most intended to give local school districts more flexibility in setting the start and end dates of school (the dates have been limited by law to protect a traditional summer vacation). Another bill in that committee would establish an independent redistricting commission, instead of legislators, to make legislative district maps.
All bills in this committee are doomed, Apodaca said.
"As we say back where I live: It's graveyard dead," he said.
There are no comments yet.

More About the Project
In 2016, Audubon Connecticut, in partnership with the State of Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CT DEEP), recognized the Lyme Forest Block as a landscape-scale Important Bird Area (IBA). This 60,000-acre block includes wooded areas in six towns in southeast Connecticut (East Haddam, Colchester, Lyme, Old Lyme, East Lyme, and Salem) and overlays much of the Eightmile Watershed. The woodlands in this region contain habitat that is important to the Cerulean Warbler and Wood Thrush, the worldwide populations of which are declining drastically, and supports a variety of other woodland-nesting birds identified in Connecticut's Wildlife Action Plan.
To strengthen the conservation of this area and halt bird population declines, the Lyme Forest Block Conservation Project launched as a dedicated effort to engage people in the stewardship of a critical 1,200-acre area in and around the Lyme Forest Block IBA. Audubon, in collaboration with the Eightmile River Wild and Scenic Watershed Coordinating Committee (ERWSCC), the Lyme Land Conservation Trust, the Town of Lyme, the Old Lyme Land Trust, the Salem Land Trust, the East Lyme Land Trust, the East Haddam Land Trust, the Colchester Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and other organizations, have joined forces to build awareness and promote stewardship of the Eightmile River, the Lyme Forest Block, and the bird species these habitats support.
This goal will be achieved through four program activities: 1) bird walks and presentations; 2) training workshops; 3) work days; and 4) a web page resource. By offering these education, training, and outreach activities, local landowners, community members, and visitors will gain an appreciation for natural resources, feel more connected with their lands, area preserves, and waterways, and actively participate in conservation efforts.
Together, the project partners and the Lyme Forest Block IBA community will bring about positive conservation results that will benefit the birds, other wildlife, and people throughout the area.
Questions: please contact Genevieve Nuttall, Audubon Connecticut Bird Conservation Programs Associate, by email.

Hi gang,
As Birkan said, it was awesome to see the work everybody has done.
In January, we are going to continue our work with REV- and BIC. Please feel free to test our hotline 617-702-2395. Any comments are much appreciated!
You will find below our case study (and also our final presentation).
This project was born as a response to the deliberate legal exclusion of domestic workers from basic government oversight and protection. Building from the previously successful, New Day New Standard project by REV- in New York State, we hoped to use the principles of co-design to (1) simplify hotline navigation and (2) implement an additional SMS subscription service for more effective communication.

This campout was a amazing because of its three-pronged attack. On this trip the troop got to visit Croatan National Forest, Fort Macon, and the beach. Between historical knowledge, beautiful views, and watery fun everyone in the troop enjoyed themselves! We got to learn more about the Civil War at For Macon, have fun at the beach, and enjoy walking through the Croatan National Forest, all in one campout.

Prenatal alcohol exposure can cause permanent birth defects. No amount of alcohol use is known to be safe for a developing fetus. Alcohol is a teratogen, an agent or factor which causes malformation of an embryo. According to a recent study as many as 1 in 20 children in the United States are affected by prenatal alcohol exposure. Many professionals working in the field expect that that number is doubled in Alaska.
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are costly, life-long disabilities. Individuals, their families and the public as a whole are deeply impacted. The lifetime cost for one individual with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) in 2002 was estimated to be $2 million. This is an average for people with FAS and does not include data on people with other FASD. People with severe problems, such as profound intellectual disability, have much higher costs. It is estimated that the cost to the United States for FAS alone is over $6 billion in direct and indirect costs annually. Once again, the costs are much higher in Alaska where prevalence is expected to be higher than the national average.
Individuals with an FASD are involved with the criminal justice system at an alarming rate. Youth and adults with an FASD have a form of brain damage that may make it difficult for them to stay out of trouble with the law. They do not know how to deal with police, attorneys, judges, social workers, psychiatrists, corrections and probation officers, and others they may encounter.
FASD is a PREVENTABLE disability. To date, most prevention strategies have focused on educating women of reproductive years. Although this is a critical component, evidence informs that FASD programs must be comprehensive and multi-tiered to be effective.

How do I become a prolific options trader?
To be a master in Option trading, one needs to understand few terms associated with it.
Its no surprise that 70% of Indian traders trade only in option because of its amazing returns and very small capital requirements.
I also love options and my 90% of trades are only in options.
If you are trading in Indian market, then trust me options is the best tool to trade.
To begin with, I would strongly suggest you to learn TECHNICAL ANALYSIS.
learn charts and skills to identify trends, learn to identify Supports and resistance, and then learn to identify trends and generate entry and exit signals. since options are volatile, you should keep a strict Stoploss and target on every trade you take.
Also a trader should know risk reward ratio in trading AT THE MONEY strike and OUT OF THE MONEY strike.
Never buy In the money strike because its expensive and gives same returns as at the money.
Understand premium decay conceps and learn to make money by short selling options i.e Option writing .
There are advanced strategies like STRADDLE and STRANGLE, which gives assured returns during major events irrespective of direction of market, you can master that too to get assured income.
The best combination to be a sound option trader is to trade in option according to technical analysis.

Guided Saltwater Charters
Guided Saltwater Charters are aboard the Island Skipper, a 34' lobster-style boat, with an Alaskan Sports Fishing Deck. We feature a walk-around cabin so fisher-people can spread out and there is not a cluster on the aft deck. We have fewer lines crossing each other than most boats, thus more fishing time. The boat is inspected by the Coast Guard on a very regular basis. She is up to snuff! Our packages are 3 days and 4 nights, but additional days can be had on request.
Your guide, Skip Fabry, has been fishing these waters since 1970. He's an old bugger but still gets around. Skip is experienced in boating and fishing and holds a U.S. Coast Guard license.

Acres, 1,730. Real property, £10,615. Pop. in 1851, 4,173; in 1861, 4,657. Houses, 921. There are several good residences. Woollen, worsted, cotton, paper, and pasteboard manufactures are carried on. A Roman altar was found at Slack. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Ripon. Value, £300. Patron, the Vicar of Halifax.

Hello everyone,
I have a ListView with DataTemplateSelector and templates with common elements. I want to simplify them by moving common pieces to the base template and reuse them in child templates.
Base template code:
<!-- Label --> /* Here we put stuff from derivatives */ <!-- Button -->
Child template code:
<!-- Image --> <!-- Checkbox -->
And visually it will look like:
<!-- Label--> <!-- Image --> <!-- Checkbox --> <!-- Button -->
The same goes for other child templates.
How I can accomplish this?
Previously I tried ContentTemplates/ContentPresentor along with ContentView but that didn't work. It seems that they are designed for ContentPage.
P.S. Order is important.
not understanding the issue here you can have a stack layout and add content view with image and checkbox on some condition or show hide it based on a certain condition which in your case can be decided using the selector
If you make a custom ViewCell with the View property being a ContentView, you should be able to apply a ControlTemplate to it.
@Asur said:
not understanding the issue here
Well, shortly the whole point of this question is how to embed XAML code. I mean, I want to reuse xaml markup by declaring common elemets in parent templates and include them in child templates.
@Asur said:
you can have a stack layout and add content view with image and checkbox on some condition or show hide it based on a certain condition which in your case can be decided using the selector
It can be a Grid too.
@Inferno I think you are going in the opposite direction here. Once can have a Parent layout and then add child layout into the page . But adding parent layout's element into the child view and that too at different places isn't possible as per my knowledge unless you create different layouts for different controls but by application it would become a child layout and not parent .
@JoeManke's answer seem feasible where you have a layout with label and button and then in between add another child layout with image and checkbox

U.S. Hemp Roundtable
Launched in early 2017, the U.S. Hemp Roundtable is a coalition of over dozens of hemp companies – representing every link of the product chain, from seed to sale – and all of the industry's major national grassroots organizations.
We have already achieved our primary mission: securing passage of bi-partisan legislation in the U.S. Congress that established hemp federally as an agricultural commodity, permanently removing it from regulation as a controlled substance. Our efforts included an aggressive, targeted, grass-tops lobbying campaign that brought leading farmers and business executives to Washington, with complimentary grassroots efforts that resulted in hundreds of thousands of targeted emails sent to Members of Congress.
The battle for full legalization, however, is not over. Some states have not yet joined the cause, and there are continued fears of over-regulation by local and federal agencies.
In order ensure the long term viability of the industry – the Roundtable's mission includes:
- Focused lobbying efforts in state capitols to fully legalize hemp and popular hemp-derived products like cannabidiol (CBD)
- Facilitating information exchange with law enforcement and federal agency officials
- Continued long-term legislative advocacy on other major policy issues, remaining vigilant against potential attempts of rival industries to halt hemp's progress
- Coordination with the US Hemp Authority, whose certification program promotes high standards, best practices and self-regulation, providing confidence to consumers that hemp products are safe and to law enforcement that they are legal

Christmas Nativity
Reception, Years 1 and 2 classes joined together for a wonderful Nativity play this week, to a packed audience of proud parents, carers and other family members. The children sang
and performed beautifully and it was lovely to see how well attended the event was.

I would also like to say a huge thank you to all the staff who have worked so hard to prepare the children.

There will be a retiring collection at the end of each performance and all donations will go to the Wakefield Hospice.

children's names are written on each piece of uniform and for you to check uniform to ensure it belongs to your child. Thank you.

Jan Skubiszewski is a multi-award-winning producer, composer, songwriter and sound engineer. A stalwart of the Australian music scene, Jan has worked in various capacities with artists such as Mark Ronson, Archie Roach, ILLY, John Butler Trio, Dan Sultan, The Cat Empire, and Delta Goodrem to name just a few.
Jan is defined by his unique ability to transform a promising concept into a hit song or record – a feat he has achieved repeatedly, across genres and generations. He's equally adept at composing and recording music for film and television, having a raft of award-winning projects under his belt including Red Dog, Two Hands, Bran Nue Dae and Serangoon Road.
Jan's musical education began early under the guidance of his father, acclaimed film and TV composer Cezary Skubiszewski. He then worked as a sound engineer and producer at the iconic Sing Sing Studio in Richmond, which has hosted the likes of Kanye West, Cat Power and Nick Cave.
Since those days, Jan has had runaway successes in genres ranging from hip hop to roots and rock n roll, and has produced ARIA-award winning records with Australian icons such as John Butler, and helped emerging artists hit the big time (ILLY). His work as a record producer and composer for film and television has won critical acclaim and a raft of awards and nominations at ARIA, APRA, AIR, Film Critics Circle of Australia, Screen Music Awards, National Indigenous Music Awards and many more, as well as production credits on several gold and platinum records.
In 2017, Jan opened his new recording studio, Red Moon Studios: a creative hideaway in a beautiful natural setting, within an easy drive of Melbourne's inner north. Custom designed by leading architects and record producers, Red Moon Studio sets the standard for Australian recording spaces.
Originally The Stables Recording Studio, it was designed and built by Evermore front man Jon Hume for the recording of Evermore's albums. Under Jon and Karen Hume's direction it hosted many pop legends such as Lisa Mitchell, Tina Arena, Delta Goodrem, Shannon Noll, Matt Corby and Sticky Fingers.
Red Moon's live room is spacious and rustic, fitted out with wood, marble and polished concrete. Custom-built acoustic panels create ultimate sonic flexibility. Guitar nerds will be impressed by the unparalleled collection of instruments, including over 35 iconic guitars and basses, an upright piano, Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, and a range of percussion. The tracking room is a comfortable and well-equipped work space with vocal booth, couches and a whole lot of gear.
Since opening Red Moon Studios in June 2017, Jan has been flat out making music with Aussie Icons such as John Butler, Dan Sultan and many more, as well as composing the score to the upcoming Showcase TV series Picnic at Hanging Rock with his dad Cezary.

Winner of 2 Primetime Emmys!
In 1980, autism was a relatively rare disorder, diagnosed in 1 in 10,000 children in the United States. Now it is 1 in 150.
Autism: The Musical counters today's bleak statistics with one woman's optimistic pledge to lead of group of children with autism in defying diagnosed expectations by writing, rehearsing, and performing their own full-length musical.
Following five Los Angeles children over the course of six months, director Tricia Regan captures the triumphs and struggles of their family lives and observes how this musical production gives these performers a comfort zone in which they can explore their creative side.
Both on and off stage Autism: The Musical is a call to arms, bringing attention to a modern day epidemic, all the while celebrating the way the human spirit can overcome any challenge.

The doctor killed in a shooting rampage at a New York City hospital was working a colleague's shift, the New York Post reported Saturday.
Tracy Sin-Yee Tam, 32, had been a doctor for two years.
She was at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital in the Bronx Friday working a shift for another doctor, the paper reported.
"She didn't have to be there. She doesn't work in the hospital, she works in the clinic," a neighbor, 58-year-old Mahmudur Rahman told the paper.
Tam was killed in an afternoon bloodbath that left six others wounded.

Cops say the gunman Dr. Henry Bello went to the hospital with an assault rifle under a doctor's white lab coat.
Bello ultimately turned the gun on himself before he could be captured.
The Post reported that Bello resigned from Bronx-Lebanon in 2015 amid a sexual harassment scandal and vowed to return and kill a coworker.
That coworker was a hospital resident who wasn't working Friday, the paper reported.
Meantime, only one of the six wounded victims, a doctor, remained in critical condition Saturday.
Three victims were upgraded from critical to stable condition, a fourth remained in stable condition and a fifth, who had been in stable condition, was transferred to another hospital for specialized surgery.
Bronx Lebanon vice president Errol C. Schneer said the fact that five victims were in stable condtion Saturday was testament to how "heroically" staff responded to the shooting.
"Many of our staff risked their own lives to save patients," Schneer told reporters.
The Daily News reported Saturday that it had received an email purportedly from Bello about two hours before the rampage.
"This hospital terminated my road to a licensure to practice medicine," the email said. "First, I was told it was because I always kept to myself. Then it was because of an altercation with a nurse."

He also blamed a doctor for blocking his chances at getting a chance to practice medicine.
His former co-workers described a man who was aggressive, loud and threatening. After he was forced to resign amid sexual harassment allegations, Bello told colleagues he would be back to kill them.
"All the time he was a problem," said Dr. David Lazala, who trained Bello as a family medicine doctor. When Bello was forced out in 2015, he sent Lazala an email blaming him for the dismissal.
"We fired him because he was kind of crazy," Dr. Maureen Kwankam told the Daily News. "He promised to come back and kill us then."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Language Program Management – A Model for the 21st Century
Introduction to Language Program Manager Roles and Profiles
These two books are written for those who are interested in community-based language development, both within and outside local language communities. They are written for the practitioner as well as the academic, and are richly illustrated with examples and case studies.
Sustaining Language Use: Perspectives on Community Based Language Development 2016 by Paul Lewis and Gary Simons.
In today's world, thousands of small language groups are facing pressure to abandon their traditional language in favor of a more dominant language from elsewhere. The basic decision that members of these communities must make is how they will sustain their identity and how the essential bodies of knowledge associated with that identity will be transmitted to succeeding generations. This book develops a framework, called the Sustainable Use Model (SUM), for addressing these issues. The book describes how to observe language use to understand the current language ecology, how to assess the sustainability of the languages in the linguistic repertoire of the speech community, and then how to design a program of activities aimed at achieving sustainable language use. Available as e-book at https://leanpub.com/sustaininglanguageuse and as hardcopy from Amazon.com.
Managing Language Programs: Perspectives, Processes, and Practices. Preliminary edition 2017. By Thomas Marmor and Eric Bartels. E-book available at www.leanpub.com/managinglanguageprograms
The purpose of this book is to orient and guide program managers, project managers, and the key stakeholders in community-based language development programs. It provides introductory information on community-based language development, on management of programs and projects, suggests a specific results-oriented methodology and tools for managing programs and projects. Based on broad experiences, the authors offer practical guidance for managers at the project, program, and administrative level in an organization.

If you're like me, you're already thinking about entertaining in the nice weather. From Memorial Day through September, I enjoy eating outdoors. We don't grill, so I have to work a bit at meeting expectations. Food Sharing Network is pleased to share a family fave, Baked Macaroni and Cheese from McCall's Cook Book, copyright 1963.
I've made the dish under countless circumstances, including Thanksgiving dinner so my then-vegetarian son would have an entree. Pictured here is a lunch I served on our deck one spring. The menu included a green salad and my favorite boiled Thumann's hot dog. I learned a long time ago that a frankfurter with the works can be a huge treat for some guests (me too).
Visit Tastebook.com for the recipe.
I tried this recipe the other day. It's easy to make and very tasty. I think layering the cheese with the pasta and then putting the white sauce on it makes all the difference. Thanks!

"Street Drugs and Driving - What You Need to Know" A comprehensive review of the latest information and trends around alcohol and drug abuse in the United States. Presented by Lynn Riemer
As legal marijuana spreads and the opioid epidemic rages on, the number of drugged drivers killed in car crashes is rising dramatically. Because of this, NHTSA is making the drug-impaired-driving problem a top national priority. Since recreational marijuana was legalized in Colorado, marijuana related traffic deaths increased 151% while all Colorado traffic deaths increased 35%. This workshop will provide valuable training to help identify legal and illicit substances of abuse, the connection between drugs and impaired driving, traffic safety data, indicators of various drug use, what drugs look like, how drugs are used, will create a better understanding of the effects illicit drug use has on users, and provides an understanding of how drug use affects all of us.

"Courtroom Success - Training for Impaired Driving Crash Investigators" Presented by John Kwasnoski
This training focuses on the procedures of the trial, the rules of the courtroom, the expectations of the jury, etc. This seminar gives officers a foundation and structure to support their individual styles, and goes far beyond the "how to dress" and "where to look" rules. This training includes hands-on activities including a mock trial that exposes officers to a wide range of testifying styles, the equivalence of many years of testifying.

"WINNING INTERDICTION - CONDUCTING THE COMPLETE TRAFFIC STOP", presented by Sheriff Michael A. Lewis.
This series of regional trainings will feature Sheriff Michael Lewis of Wicomico County, Maryland who will focus on conducting complete traffic stops, officer safety and "winning interdiction". Sheriff Lewis, now in his third term as Wicomico County Sheriff, is a retired Sergeant and 22 year veteran of the Maryland State police who pioneered the Drug Interdiction program along Maryland's notorious U.S. Rte. 13 corridor.
This intense one-day course is designed for veterans and newcomers alike. It focuses on the relationship between traffic enforcement, impaired driving enforcement and criminal enforcement. Specific techniques are covered to assist officers in detecting criminal activity during DWI enforcement and other traffic-related activities. Students will receive extensive instruction in roadside interviews and hidden compartments to include those vehicles equipped with aftermarket installed false compartments.

"Statewide Enforcement Crackdowns"
While STOP-DWI efforts across New York have led to significant reductions in the numbers of alcohol and drug related fatalities, still too many lives are being lost because of crashes caused by drunk or impaired drivers. Highly visible, highly publicized efforts like the STOP-DWI Crackdown Campaign aim to further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaired driving. Research shows that high-visibility enforcement can reduce drunk driving fatalities by as much as 20 percent. Sobriety checkpoints and roving patrols play a key part in raising awareness about the problem.

Man released from hospital murdered neighbour hours later and cut off victim's penis
PUBLISHED: 16:40 17 October 2017 | UPDATED: 17:15 17 October 2017
Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
A paranoid schizophrenic murdered a refugee and cut off his penis hours after being released from a psychiatric hospital near Weston-super-Mare against the advice of staff.
Jeffrey Barry, aged 56, attacked his neighbour Kamil Ahmad, aged 49, at his flat in Wells Road in Bristol at about 2am on July 6 last year.
Bristol Crown Court heard that Barry held a long-standing grudge against Iraqi-born Kurd Mr Ahmad and had called police weeks before, claiming he was a rapist, a paedophile and a terrorist in Iraq.
He murdered Mr Ahmad in a 'savage and sustained' knife attack hours after being released from the Cygnet Hospital in Kewstoke.
The court heard that psychiatrists had opposed Barry's release, but a mental health tribunal ruled that he should be discharged.
Barry, who is being held in Broadmoor Hospital, denied murdering Mr Ahmad and instead admitted manslaughter by diminished responsibility.
But a jury unanimously convicted him of murder after two hours of deliberations at the end of the two-week trial.
Mrs Justice May told the jury: "Notwithstanding the verdict, there are issues of illness here.
"Mr Barry is in Broadmoor for a reason. He is there because he has a mental illness.
"It wasn't one that was enough to reduce the offence in this case but it exists all the same. It is a chronic, enduring mental illness that requires treatment."
Barry was racist towards Mr Ahmad, who moved in about three years after him, and claimed he had sex with a fellow resident.
On May 24 last year, he told support workers he wanted to be notorious and murder a member of the public, allegedly adding: "Kamil would be top of my list."
Barry also wrote notes saying that he planned to kill people living in the house, including Mr Ahmed.
In a phone call to police on May 25 last year, Barry told an operator: "He has raped a vulnerable person.
"He has committed two acts of theft and he has broken a television. He is a paedophile and a terrorist in Iraq."
However, Barry was known to be a heavy drinker, a cannabis user and for behaving in a sexually inappropriate manner.
On June 13, 2016 he was sectioned under the Mental Health Act after being filmed on CCTV performing a sex act, wearing only a police hat.
He was taken to Callington Road Hospital in Bristol before being transferred to the Cygnet Hospital.
A mental health tribunal ruled on June 28 that Barry was well enough to be released, after he promised not to drink or take drugs.
Consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Roger Thomas said the tribunal was unaware of how long Barry had been off clozapine.
They were also unaware of his recent relapse, or of concerns raised by staff at the Milestones Trust, which manages the Wells Road property.
The staff reported that Barry was becomingly increasingly obsessed with Mr Ahmad and was being sexually inappropriate.
Barry left the Kewstoke hospital on July 6, 2016 without a care plan in place, despite Dr Thomas recommending that he be detained for further assessment.
Staff at the Milestones Trust were not involved in the decision and were only informed of it a few hours before his return.
They attempted to get an injunction to protect Mr Ahmad but there was not enough time.
Barry returned to Bristol at about 5.30pm and went to two bars, where he was seen with seven drinks.
At 1am the next morning, having returned to his flat, Barry called a helpline answered by community psychiatric nurse Joanne Wood.
She told the court: "He said something about he didn't want to go to bed and he felt like punching somebody.
"I said it was not acceptable to hit people because you feel like it, and to be responsible for your actions.
"He responded by saying that he was criminally insane and not responsible for his actions, and ended the call."
Ms Wood said she spoke to colleagues before calling police on 101 to report what Barry had told her.
CCTV images showed Barry knocking on Mr Ahmad's door at 1.30am and leaving, covered in blood, at 2.15am.
Officers arrived after Barry called 999, saying that he had killed Mr Ahmad.
During the call Barry said: "Course it's murder isn't it? I'm going to say diminished responsibility."
The day after the murder, police discovered a note in Barry's room saying: "The fact is, I have acted out my entire psychiatric history. I'm very well. Sorry."
Home Office pathologist Dr Amanda Jeffery examined Mr Ahmad's body and found injuries to his face, head and neck.
There were 25 stab wounds to his face, including his eyes, and fatal stab wounds to his stomach, right arm and left wrist.
She found Mr Ahmad's penis had been cut off after his death.
In December 2013, Mr Ahmad suffered facial injuries after being allegedly attacked by Barry. No further action was taken.
Mr Ahmad also reported to police feeling scared of the defendant, in April last year.
