ML Tri's background
Mom Luang Tridhosyuth Devakul (Mom Tri), the founder of this campus and the Chairman of the Board of Governors which oversees the operation of Traidhos Three-Generation Community for Learning, received his formal education in the USA. He attended St Albans Cathedral School, Washington DC, did his undergraduate studies at Dartmouth (Magna Cum Laude) and received a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard University. Over many years he was associated with summer camps at the Chewonki Institute, Maine, as a student, counsellor and leader.
In the early 1970s, he returned to Thailand as a practising architect and in the late 1970s was a Senator. He saw the tourist potential of Phuket, and was instrumental in the development of an international airport. He also built and owned a number of major hotels. He presently owns the boutique hotel, the Villa Royale, and is a partner in a villa/hotel complex, Trisara, both in Phuket.
The Tridhos Three-Generation School Village (the beginnings of the Campus)
In 1992 Mom Tri lost a young son and was determined to develop a world-class school for Thais, in his son's memory.
In 1994 Mom Tri bought the rice paddy fields on which the present campus has been established. His plan was to build a three-generation school village. The campus would comprise a world-class independent school teaching the Thai curriculum in English. It would be surrounded by apartments which parents could lease.
It was anticipated that most of the parents would be living in Bangkok and other parts of Thailand beyond Chiang Mai - and in many cases it would be the grandparents or other relatives (the extended family) who would be living on campus looking after the children - thus the three-generation concept: child, parent or relative, and grandparent. The older generation was to be seen as an educational source of wisdom, and the setting was to be used to promote healthy living and environmental awareness.
The Tridhos Three-Generation School Village opened in May 1997. Just two months later, an economic crisis overwhelmed Thailand in particular, and Asia in general. The Tridhos School was particularly hard hit. For the next three years it struggled to survive. In the meantime Mom Tri was looking for educational partners to develop a fresh momentum.
The Origin of Traidhos Three-Generation Community for Learning
At this time Geelong Grammar School, Australia, was involved in a joint-venture with the King's mother's foundation, the Mae Fah Luang Foundation, to develop an international boarding school at Doi Tung in the far north of Thailand. Because of the economic crisis, Geelong Grammar was forced to suspend its project. In late 1997 ML Tri started discussions with the Headmaster, Lister Hannah, and in September 1998 the Headmaster and the Chairman of the Geelong Grammar School Council visited and were impressed with the Tridhos campus. In late 1998 the Chairman of the United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA) also visited and was similarly impressed.
In early 1999 the UWCSEA agreed to enter an understanding to advise on the development of the Tridhos School along United World College lines. In May 1999, Lister Hannah accepted the position of President of the Traidhos Foundation with the agreement not only to develop a school along UWC lines but also to develop a broader concept: a Centre for International Education.
His Excellency General Prem Tinsulanonda, Commander-in-Chief of the Army in the late 1970s, Prime Minister 1980-88, and since then Privy Counsellor to the King and now President of the Privy Council, the only Thai accorded the title of Statesman, was approached to give his name to the Center. He agreed and the Center became known as Prem Centre.
It was decided that the Tridhos School would close in March 2000. In its place the Prem Tinsulanonda Centre for International Education would come into existence in January 2000.
In 2010 Prem Centre was re-named as the Traidhos Three-Generation Community for Learning. It now includes Prem Tinsulanonda International School (Prem), specialist sporting academies for tennis, golf, cricket and football, a chemical-free farm and a cooking school, a visiting school programmes, camps, an environmental education barge programme, arts programmes, adult wellness programmes, community events, a small hotel and spa and Premburi - a residential estate on the western side of the campus.
Visiting Schools Program
The Visiting Schools Program (VSP) was launched early January 2000 with 300 Grade nine students from the Anglo-Chinese School, Singapore, and seventy Grade 11 UWCSEA students who did their IB Geography fieldwork from Prem Center in March, starting a tradition that continues at Traidhos today.
Today, VSP has over sixty schools involving over 3000 students a year.
It has grown from its foundation of four focuses (cross-cultural activities, environmental sustainability, community service and adventure) to add a fifth focus on leadership and team building. Whilst most schools visit for five days or a week, Kardinia International College, Australia, sent its Grade 9 students for eight weeks, from October 2003 to June 2011 and Think Global School visited for a whole term.
Traidhos Barge Program
The barge program was established by Mom Tri in 1995. The barge - a one-hundred-year old converted teak rice barge with covered decks, an air-conditioned cabin for sleeping, a kitchen and other amenities - was donated several years later to the Magic Eye Foundation who in turn gave it back to the Prem Center in 2005.
Today as part of Traidhos, it provides a floating classroom which travels the Chao Phraya River between Bangkok and Ayutthaya studying its ecosystems, culture and history. The program has now expanded to land-based programs and the study of the river's watershed: mountains to the sea!
The Barge Program welcomes over 4000 students and adults from international or Thai schools each year.
Other Developments
Between 2005 and 2007 specialist sporting academies for tennis, cricket and golf were created. They, with the farm and the cooking school established by Su Mei Yu in 2008, have created a unique educational experience.
International Baccalaureate Workshops
The first IB Asia Pacific workshops were run at the campus in March 2001, before the school had opened. A number of PYP and MYP workshops drew nearly 300 teachers over ten days.
In January 2002 PYP, MYP and Diploma workshops were held on successive weekends. This has become an annual occasion and draws roughly 250 teachers from seventy schools in twenty countries each year. Since January 2003 the IB has franchised Prem to organise and administer these workshops.

By Mike T. Smith
No kid ever says, "When I grow up I just want to take what life gives me. The goal is survival."
Nope, that has never happened. Kids are dreamers.
They're goal setters, but as the years pass we lose sight of goals and become content (notice I didn't say happy) with simply surviving. This includes yours truly.
The great thing is at any moment you can decide to get back to that exciting part of your life. Get back to goals setting again. It is one of the things that keep life exciting and evolving. I often say that the day someone stops setting goals is the day that they lose their zest for life.
There is a simple concept to goal setting and application. It's way more effective than the "Let's throw it against the wall and see what sticks' approach most people run with. It's called S.M.A.R.T. goals. Notice the dots between the letters. That means its official and you should take it seriously. Let's dive into what each letter means and my take on it.
For your review here is where I explain 'S.' http://millington-news.com/2015/09/03/theartofthesmartgoal/.
And here is where I explain 'M.' http://millington-news.com/2015/09/17/theartofthesmartgoalpart2/
Here is 'A.' http://millington-news.com/2015/10/01/theartofthesmartgoatpart3/
Now what about 'R'? Well, I'm glad you asked. It's right here. http://millington-news.com/2015/10/15/theartofthesmartgoalpartthree/. Now. Drum roll please, with our special guest drummer Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers (hey if I dream big I get to pick the drummer that I want).
Finally, the 'T' in S.M.A.R.T. Goals.
T Timely. Put a timetable on your goal. Why is this important? It's important because 'someday' rarely happens. 'Someday' never creates a sense of urgency.
There's always a tomorrow, but there is only one November 2, 2015. Having a specific date puts your subconscious mind at work. It will not let you sit on the couch too long if you have a burning desire to do something and a short amount of time to do it.
If we stay with our weight loss example. You want to lose ten pounds, and you want to lose it by November 2, 2015, which is your ten year high school reunion.
Think of how productive you are at the office the day before you take a week long vacation. You have a goal of tying up whatever loose ends you may have so your job is easier when you come back.
That covers every letter in S.M.A.R.T. Now take ten minutes, get a pen and paper and set your goal. Make it specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. Good luck to you.
This will be my last OPEN MIKE article in The Millington Star. I have enjoyed serving the Millington community. Sign up for my email newsletter at http://miketsmith.net for updates and motivational newsletter. God bles

From The History of the Jews
Sidney Gross
American 1921-1969
oil 60" x "49
Gross' undated papers reference several mural proposals and the style of several of his paintings related to possible murals seems to date to the immediate post-war period. Although his reaction to World War II and his body of work draws little on his Jewish heritage, an undated draft of a "Description & Continuity of a Proposed Mural" reveals his narrative imagination and hints at his scholarship. We have not discovered whether he received the commission, much less completed it.
The scale of his proposed work was large. He proposed "a heroic theme – a personal evaluation of Jewish History from Abraham to Palestine condensed to fit the allotted space." Following is the start of the discription of the planned painting: The mural begins with Abraham rising out of the emptiness of idol worship, idols based on the Syrian male Sphinx, Egyptian goddess Sekhmut and the Hittite god Teshub. We move into Egypt with Rameses II, the Pharaoh of the Exodus."
A 28 page monograph on Gross with over 50 full color reproductions is available for $10 postage included. We are working on a fuller biography, click here to see it.
Browse a pdf file that contains most of our inventory of this important artist in his time, but whose work has only recently resurfaced. This pdf file is large and may take a minute or so to download. But then you can scroll trhough the 122 entries.

Cost: Tuition $51,400. Room, Board & Fees: $19,170. Out of all the Ivies, placed 5th in Tuition and 3rd in Room & Fees for most expensive costs.
Financial Aid: Follows the need-based and need-blind application process. International students are evaluated in the same way.

If Harvard University ever had a rival, it would be Yale University. With similar histories, both Yale and Harvard have well-rounded departments, share the residential college system and have legendary secret societies. What sets them apart is Yale's strength in its humanities and arts programs, and its location.
Yale's best undergraduate programs are History, Classics and Political Science. While their theatre and arts undergraduate programs are less talked about, Yale strong graduate programs in the arts give students a lot of opportunity to explore their creativity and hone their artistic skills.
Unlike at Harvard, students are automatically place into one of the 12 residential colleges before the start of freshmen year. Students develop a connection to them through the 4 years and beyond, creating a bond and network that extends into their career.

The title is supposed to be read in the tone of a policeman telling a suspicious person to stop whatever he's doing. Sir, step away and put your hands up!
OK, on to the good stuff.
Instagram posts can be bought. You're familiar with the practice, right?
Celebrities or influencers who have a gazillion followers (or any significant number) can monetize their audience by accepting 'Instagram review' requests. They can be paid up to RM2,000 for each post.
What's the alternative?
This is different from brand endorsements. With endorsements, the celebrity or influencer will be given the actual product.
They get to use it themselves and tell us what they think of it (honest or biased, we don't know). But there's a sense of effort and involvement.
When we see that they promote it because they enjoy it, we perceive something of the brand's personality. We feel that it's a legitimate product worthy of their attention. (If it's good for them, it must be good for us) It's like their star factor is rubbing off of the product.
But with 'Instagram reviews', there's often NO involvement whatsoever. The celebrity/influencer asks you to provide a photo AND the caption. They post it and that's that. It's pure advertising and their Instagram is the TV.
Should you pay for Instagram reviews?
I'm not saying this won't bring you good results. You'll probably get a few hundred followers from that 'review'. Maybe make a significant number of sales. But those are good SHORT-TERM results.
Consider the message that you're really sending. The followers know you paid to be advertised in that Instagram. So did many others. What makes you special?
Your offers? Low prices? Sale, sale and more sale? How many sale parties do you have to throw to keep them interested?
If you have sale parties and give discounts ALL the time, you become known as the discount brand. Customers won't want to pay full price anymore.
You can't be a premium brand if you pay for 'Instagram reviews'. You just can't. What's a premium brand that you like? For me, it's Moleskine. I'm a stationery nut.
Moleskine would NEVER pay for an Instagram review. It's famous now, so it doesn't have to. But can you imagine it doing that? No, amirite? It's just not proper for its image (and pricepoint).
If you want to charge premium prices, step away from the Instagram review.
P.S. So what's the alternative? I'll discuss that in the upcoming article (Monday, 29th Feb). Swing by the website in the AM to read it!

The last thing I look for when in Dollar General is any hair product. If buying anything related to hair it would be bobby pins. I came across Bella Curls a while ago and recorded my first impression review found at the end of this post. The amount was what really found inviting because it was a little less that half of what I normally pay for my natural hair products. Here are my findings:
Bella Curls Coconut Creme Co-wash:
This co-ash provided very little suds as I expected because it is not a shampoo. The consistency was runny and most importantly it cleanses well. My hair felt moisturized and i was able to detangle with it. I do wish the product came in a squeeze out bottle because the pump was hard to handle once my hands became slippery while applying it through my hair.
Bella Curls Whipped Creme Leave-In Conditioner:
Look, I love it when a conditioner gives me great slip and this one did not disappoint. It has amazing slip. The consistency was thicker than the co-wash but not as thick as a normal conditioner. I would say it had the consistency of a quality body lotion. The scent is delicious. I found it easy to apply it and run it through my hair and it penetrated my strands well.
Bella Curls Coconut Creme Curl Defining Creme:
This creme is very thick and smells great. I was able to do some further detangling with it so i loved that it had good slip. From the results you will see in the video below, this styler has good hold. My curs were pretty.
In the video below I showed my first impression results.
Initially what I hated is that I used these products in the order I reviewed them and I received a good hold but the products were too heavy on my hair, I had build up and the hair was dull. After reading the comments on my video I received many tips on what may help with the dullness and everything I did not like about my results.
- I styled my hair using just the leave-in and an oil after co-washing my hair and the results were really awesome. My hair was defined and felt very soft and moisturized. It did however frizz up and turn into an afro after i spent the day out in humid conditions.
- I skipped the leave-in and used a little less of the styler and added an oil and the results I received were still a bit of dullness. My hair was defined but unfortunately the dull look remained. The oil definitely helped bring some shine to my hair. I liked that i used less of the creme because my hair was not weighed down as you saw in the video above.

Housemaid Jailed 4-year For Stealing Employer's N22m Jewelries.
A 21-year old housemaid, Patience Anyen has been sentenced to four years of imprisonment for stealing her employer's jewelries valued at N22 million.
The convict was jailed by Magistrate O.M Ajayi in charge of Court 14 at the Igbosere Magistrate Court, Lagos Island after she found the convict guilty of the two-charge of conspiracy and stealing preferred against her by the Police at the Maroko Division, Lekki, Lagos during the trial spanning a year and eight months.
Police alleged that trouble started for the convict on 12 March, 2016 when her
employer, Mrs Folashade Ilori reported to the Police that she left her maid at home at her residence at 31b, Shakiru Anjorin Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos for work, but that when she returned, she could not find her maid and her box containing jewelries valued at N22m.
Police alleged that following the report, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO in charge of Maroko Division,SP Isah Abdulmajid directed a team led by Inspector Omogiate Eduzola to fish out the maid.
Following the directive, the Police team swung into action and after days of intelligence gathering and tracking, detectives arrested the maid at a hideout in Lagos and took her to the Station.
The maid was arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrate Court on a two-count charge of stealing.
Police Prosecutor, Tubi Olajide said the offences the accused committed were punishable under sections 409 and 285 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State,2011.
In her testimony during her trial while being cross examined by Olajide, the convict confessed to the court that she stole her madam's jewelries and handed them over to two unidentified men to sell and used the money to buy chemical to wash the millions of Naira they promise to share with her.
Magistrate Ajayi sentenced Anyen to four years imprisonment without an option of fine with a directive that the sentence would run concurrently.

Saturday saw us on the way up to Apparent North at Stanage to give the E7 Black Car Burning a blast. I first tried this line a couple of years ago and its been a route I've been really keen to get done over the winter. Then last week the syke started brewing to go give it a proper go!
Once we'd sorted the gear out and got all the moves re-dialed I tied in and went for it and was super super stoked to top out! Managed to get it on camera as well, check out the video!
Had a short session up at Black Rocks the other day also and did the Evans classic King Edward, F7C ish. Which wa cool ya know! Short video I put together of this problem below too.
We've also been mixing it up at Rowtor last week, a place which always feels cool to be apart of, hidden away in the woods on a hill. Only did Yoghurt but well up for returning soon to get the new problem Pink Lady done! Funky stuff.

So Many Dynamos' debut When I Explode was a potent, but very mixed bag of pop punk music that satisfied in small bursts, but didn't have enough variety for staying power. The group toured their butts off with the release, playing 95 shows in the lower 48 states and then took some time off to work on recording a follow-up.
Flashlights is the result, and while it's still a smidgen inconsistent (mainly the second half), it's a huge step up in songwriting, with eleven tracks rushing by in under forty minutes and an expanded instrumental (and vocal) palette, the album contains some of the best pop-punk anthems I've heard lately (other than The Thermals). "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning" opens the album and in under two minutes blasts with rumbling builds and huge blowout choruses that include a 20-piece choir. The track flows right into "Search Party," and the track is just as solid, with insane rhythm sections that burst into dance-punk sections while lead singer Aaron Stovall spits out his bests lines on the release in dramatic fashion.
In addition to the fairly standard lineup of two guitars / bass and drums, there are little bursts of synth, some horns, backing-choirs, and even some moments where they take things down a notch with precision. Comparisons could easily be drawn to the Dismemberment Plan or even Q And Not U, as the band keeps things adventurous in terms of direction changes in songs and odd timing signatures (that are still largely hummable). "Progress" might be one of the most poppy things that the group has ever done, alternately between more airy sections and heavy layers of crunchy guitars.
Although it's definitely clean and sharp, the production of the album seems to carry over the raucous live feel of the band as the vocals of Stovall cut through the mix and just about everything has a slight bit of open-room reverb on it. It's more apparent on slower tracks like "How High The Moon," but the super-fun "In Every Direction" breathes with some of the same open-air feel (especially when the huge choral ending hits). As mentioned before, the album seems to lose just a step during the second half (especially on tracks like the somewhat ambling "We Vibrate, We Do" and the overly jumpy "Inventing Gears"), but there's still a whole lot here to like. Oh, and if they come through your town, check out their great live show.

Hello lovelies!
It's been a while but we're in the midst of our busy 2014 wedding season, so we're taking a blogging hiatus. We'll be back as soon as we can with more inspiration and love! Have a great summer!
Hello lovelies!
It's been a while but we're in the midst of our busy 2014 wedding season, so we're taking a blogging hiatus. We'll be back as soon as we can with more inspiration and love! Have a great summer!
It happens to be my birthday today (32, welp!) and we received such a lovely gift from WellWed magazine this week! You might remember that we did a beautiful farm-to-table themed styled shoot over the summer (inspiration for it here) with some of our favorite industry friends. It was a hot summer day in Madison, CT but the gorgeous images from Eric Foley photography made it completely worth it! After staring at them for days, we submitted them over the summer for editorial consideration and recently got the great news we were being published.
Fast forward 6 months and the issue is on newsstands! Best. Birthday gift. Ever! We're so thrilled to see our hard work and the incredible creativity of our friends – Eric Foley Photography, A Little Something White Bridal Couture, Happily Ever Borrowed, Coral Pheasant Stationery, New England Country Rentals, Stems Flower Design and Simply Gorgeous by Erin – come to life in print. A huge check off the old bucket list 😉
Grab your own issue #9 of WellWed Magazine Cape Cod & The Islands today – but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek of our feature…!
Thanks again to our lovely models Alexa & Jennifer and our uber-talented vendor team! I'm off to celebrate with some birthday bubbly.
Baby, it's cold outside! I woke up to ice-covered-everything and the trek to my car (super grateful for a garage!) was treacherous in my ankle cowgirl booties. Temperatures sticking to the 30's this week and snow on the forecast has me dreaming of cozy wintry nights at home with a fire (on-demand for us), glowing Christmas tree and holiday tunes on the radio. Add in a hot drink to warm my belly and I could stay in that scene for days. I'mmm dreaming of a whiiiiiite Christmas…
Ok, ok. The holidays will be here before we know it, I know. Which got me thinking about all of the fun additions to holiday nuptials around this time of year. Vintage or family heirloom furs to complement snow-white gowns, dark ruby lips, and Lady Mary-style gloves, oh my! There are so many ways to make a holiday wedding festive without including the obligatory red or green, and a simple place to start is with this yummy signature cocktail! Mulled wine is delicious and smells even better, and can be easily dressed up with a cinnamon stick or floating cranberries like in the recipe below. It's the perfect way to warm up guests and set the tone for a cozy evening filled with festive flair.
Mulled wine with Cranberries
recipe via Real Simple Magazine
Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Somehow my favorite holiday completely snuck up on me (finishing up our 2013 weddings and doing some Lovely Day 2014 planning may have gotten in the way…) but I can't wait to dive head first into stuffing and cranberry sauce at my in-laws house tomorrow. As a somewhat-newlywed, I am still getting used to missing my family during holidays (we switch family's every other year) but I'm blessed to have a food-loving group in CT to fill the void. And this year, we have so much to be thankful for.
Better late than never, I designed an inspiration board to fill a harvest table. Close your eyes and imagine yards of burlap runner on a farm table, DIY gold sprayed mini pumpkins at each place setting and rustic wooden accents in a handmade charger and serving spoons. I simply adore the idea of a pomegranate centerpiece to add rosey warmth to the table in lieu of flower arrangements. Gold taper candles in mercury glass add a glow and stamped muslin favor bags send family home with sweet (pecan pie bar) treats (recipe link below!).
I can feel the warm fire on my face, and we don't even have a fireplace. Happy Thanksgiving, all!
1. Fill a vintage silver server with rich, dark fruits, including pretty pomegrantes
2. Spray mini pumpkins gold for each place setting with metallic gold spray paint
3. Cozy up to the fire with this gorgeous geometric cotton throw from Terrain
4. Make your own rustic table runner with yards of burlap, available through Uline
5. We love these Martha Stewart mercury glass candlesticks and would pair them with elegant gold taper candles for a metallic contrast
6. Your family will love you for serving these absolutely divine pecan pie bars. Make them immediately!
7. Leftovers are a big part of Thanksgiving. Pretty them up by stamping muslin bags with your favorite message
8. Our friends over at Design House of Moira created these darling (free!) place card downloads. Print them on card stock to lean against the gold mini pumpkins at each place setting
9. We're completely obsessed with these vintage wood chargers from Pottery Barn (and they are on sale!). We paired them with Vera Wang's gilded leaf gold dinner plates to add a touch of sophistication to the table
10. These Crate & Barrel farmhouse serving spoons are perfect for scooping mashed potatoes and serving gravy
This wedding was one word. OK, two. COMPLETELY GORGEOUS. Amy and Adam got married on a perfect early fall day in September at the Waveny House. The sun was bright in New Canaan but there was a chill in the evening air that helped guests dance on the patio all night long. The mansion was the perfect venue for their classic New England affair, and they were married in the beautiful rose garden on the property.
Amy is an event planner by trade and thought of every detail for her wedding. The day oozed elegance and class from the fashion (we adored Amy's LulaKate one-strap gown!) to the coordinating bow tie for their pup. Their friend Chef Marc Weber designed a custom – and ridiculously delicious – menu, complete with fresh late night doughnuts that filled the air with a sugar cloud.
One of our favorite moments of the night was sneaking Amy and Adam upstairs for a quiet moment after the ceremony – such a sweet couple filled with so much love! Enjoy Nicole Taylor Photography's gorgeous pics from their day!
We had an absolute blast at this wedding and loved working alongside such an incredible vendor team and our on-site coordinator Aliza. Many thanks to Amy and Adam for including us in their big day! We love you guys!

Not everyone has a million dollar wedding budget, but everyone does want their big day to be as special as can be. Our clients often ask us what sweet details they can include to make their day stand out among the rest – here are our favorite 5 affordable options sure to impress:
1. Chair Embellishments
Whether you opt for cascading ribbons, luxe chair covers or custom Mr + Mrs signs, adding some bling to your reception chairs almost rivals the King and Queen thrones you envisioned as a girl. We adore the simplicity and sophistication of these rustic, calligraphed signs – available for under $25!
2. Signature Drink Stirrer
So you've decided on a Manhattan for him (he loves whiskey) and a Key Lime Martini for her (it reminds you of your bachelorette party in Key West) as your signature cocktails – adorable! Your guests will love them dressed up with a chic stirrer to mark their beverage choice. We love these by Etsy's TheBelovedShop and would customize them with the monogram from your invitation suite.
3. Place Card Love Notes
If your guest count is under 100, this is a sweet way to make your guests feel the love! Write short "love notes" to each guest on the back of their place card, telling them how much you appreciate them celebrating your day. Split the list with your hubby-to-be and give yourself a month to write them – that's only 2 cards per day! Make them even more special with custom calligraphy like these gorgeous handwritten cards by Brown Fox Calligraphy.
4. A Killer Welcome Bag
All it takes is a little planning to create a fabulous welcome bag for any guests spending the night. Think about the things you love – what embodies the season, what your wedding town is known for – and do some brainstorming. A bag filled with apple cider donuts from the farmers market at the edge of town and your favorite gas station candy might be all you need (who doesn't love a Snickers at 1am after the wedding??)! Grab some lunch bags, colorful ribbon and a decorative hole punch and you've got yourself a picture-perfect welcome bag.
5. Decorative Votives
Your florist or your venue may have some standard votive candles available to add a soft glow to your tablescape. Definitely use theirs, but sprinkle in 2 or 3 special containers per table to add some sparkle and dimension. We love mercury glass, milk glass or any other vintage finds (Grandma's house is great for these!).
We hope this inspires! You don't need to break the bank to add special details to your day, and these thoughtful items only accentuate your wedding design.
We are absolutely over-the-moon-THRILLED to share our first summer 2013 Lovely Day wedding with you! We had the incredible pleasure of working with Savannah and Tony to plan their DIY wedding in New Milford, CT. After meeting them in February we were in love – and when Tony asked for a to-go container for the doughnuts we'd ordered, we knew we were a good match!
A little about the day: S & T are actors in NYC and chose to tie the knot at Savannah's father's theater school in New Milford. Savannah grew up in New Orleans so the day had nods to her childhood – including southern comfort food for dinner (BBQ pulled pork and artery-cloggingly-delicious mac & cheese) and a sweet tea-powered dance train at the end of the evening led by her southern Mamma!
Tons of DIY elements made the wedding uniquely theirs, with yards and yards of bunting sewn by the bride and a bridal gown designed by a friend. It was a HOT day in August but it was wonderfully whimsical, super sweet and just plain fun. I mean, LOOK at these two!
S & T wanted more of a "really fun party" than a traditional wedding, and their guests had an amazing time witnessing their sweet love surrounded by homemade accents and sparkle lights.
The color palette for decor was pastels (blue, yellow and peach) and the bride made each paper flower centerpiece. Yards of colored tulle floated on the tables and lacey-votives (amazing and from Ikea!) made the room glow. There was even a carnival popcorn machine – YUM…
…and a bouncy castle!!!!!!…
…aaaand a pile of fresh Krispy Kreme's for dessert. Instead of cutting a cake, S & T tore a doughnut! Don't you want to be friends with these guys?!
We're so honored to have been part of their big day and we wish them so many years of happiness! Thank you for being absolutely amazing clients – we love you!

AltaVista Goes Local in France, the Netherlands
Page 1 of 1
AltaVista Co. Thursday extended its global reach by launching its new France and Netherlands properties.
Both sites will generate local content and the signature search function with country-specific indices which AltaVista claims will cover 95 percent of local sites in both the French and Dutch languages.
The CMGI-owned (CMGI) portal has introduced similar European versions in the U.K., Germany and Sweden. AltaVista also claims that more than half its user traffic -- which the company claims hit 2 billion monthly page views in January and reeled in 54 unique visitors -- originates outside of the U.S.
AltaVista introduced free Internet access in the U.S. and Canada last year, and plans to carry this feature to AltaVista France through a deal with Internet Telecom. Local content providers in France include Agence France-Press (AFP), Liberation news, Webcity and Paris Avenue for local information, Lokace directory services, and others.
"AltaVista's new French and Dutch sites underscore our commitment to create local Internet destinations with premier resources in countries around the world," said Rod Schrock, president and chief executive officer of AltaVista.
Schrock added that AltaVista will continue to develop and launch international throughout the year.

The Ohio Resident Educator Program is a four-year induction system of support and mentoring for new teachers. Successful completion of the residency program is required to qualify for a five-year professional educator license. Click here for the Annual Resident Educator Program Requirements for each year of the program.
Resident Educators work collaboratively with their Mentor to complete the local RE Program requirements for Years 1 and 2 by:
Back to Top
To be eligible to participate in the Resident Educator program, beginning teachers must:
Note: Teachers hired as tutors are considered eligible for the Resident Educator Program if they meet the above criteria.
Individuals teaching career-technical courses under an alternative resident educator workforce development license are exempt from participating in the local Resident Educator Program and should not be registered in the program. For more information, see Senate Bill 3 FAQs
Between August 1 and November 15 of each year, the Program Coordinator for the district/school will register eligible REs in the ODE CORE database. The Program Coordinator will also report at the end of each year if the RE completed the local and state requirements for that year. REs can verify the data entered by their PCs via "My RE Summary" by logging into their SAFE account.
NOTE: Annually, the district/school's Program Coordinator must register each eligible Resident Educator in CORE. Resident Educators who are eligible for the program are required to take the RESA in year 3 (or in year 2 if they have prior teaching credit or in year 2 as permitted upon consultation with their local program coordinator and mentor based on local policies and procedures). If the teacher is not successful, the Program Coordinator will register the RE for RESA in subsequent years.
NOTE: If a Resident Educator does not successfully complete the state and local requirements of their Resident Educator Program in a program year, then they will be marked as "no" for completion criteria for that year and will not receive credit for that program year. When that Resident Educator is registered for the following year, they must repeat the program year that they did not complete successfully. For example, if a Resident Educator did not successfully complete program year 1 in 2017-18 successfully, then they will repeat and be registered for program year 1 again in 2018-19.
The RE Program Planning and Evaluation Tool is designed to assist districts/schools in both the planning of their local RE programs and the evaluation of their programs once implemented. The tool may also be used to help districts/schools establish local policies and procedures for the Resident Educator Program.
The tool assists districts/schools in the initial self-assessment of the available organizational structures and resources for starting a Resident Educator Program at the local level. The planning tool supports districts/schools in determining program goals and areas of focus for program growth. Once the local program is established, the evaluation tool assists districts/schools in assessing their program and measuring progress toward meeting program goals. For purposes of tracking annual growth, program coordinators may access the RE Program Planning and Evaluation Tool in the CORE system.
Out-of-state teachers entering Ohio's teaching profession with fewer than three years of teaching experience and who meet the program eligibility requirements are required to participate in and complete the Ohio Resident Educator Program in order to advance to the 5-year professional license.
Registration is portable from one school to another or to another district/school within Ohio. REs should meet with their Program Coordinator (PC) to ensure that they are enrolled at their new school or district and that they are entered into CORE for the correct program year. REs are responsible for keeping all documentation of the work they have completed with their mentors (e.g., lesson plans, collaborative logs, focused mentoring activities, etc.)
The Resident Educator program is a four-year, entry-level program for classroom teachers. Legislation requires local programs to include mentoring during the first two years of the program. A trained facilitator provides technical support for submission of the performance- based assessment in the third year of the program (or in the second year if the RE has prior credit or if the RE has been permitted to take RESA in the second year upon consultation with their PC and mentor based on local policies and procedures). Districts/schools shall determine locally the activities to be completed during the fourth year of the program. Therefore, educators cannot advance their Resident Educator license until all four program years have been successfully completed; however, districts/schools may grant one or two years of credit for prior teaching to eligible teachers.
Those Resident Educators who hold an alternative RE license are required to teach four years under their alternative license; therefore, they are not eligible to advance their teaching license early, even with prior years of teaching credit.
Any teacher holding a Resident Educator or Alternative Resident Educator License in the state of Ohio who does not already hold an Ohio professional educator license. Only educators teaching career-technical courses under an alternative resident educator workforce development license are exempt from participating in the Resident Educator Program and these educators should not be registered in CORE.
In some circumstances, educators with three or more years of qualifying experience teaching in another state may not be required to participate in the Resident Educator Program. Please see this page for more information about Out of State Licensure.
For issues regarding registration for various mentor trainings on STARS, contact email@example.com
The Ohio Department of Education has recommended the qualifications outlined below to serve as a mentor. To participate in the program as a mentor, individuals must meet the following qualifications:
Along with these qualifications, the district/school may have additional requirements such as a mentor application process or targeted training. Local districts/schools will make the decision on who is selected to be a mentor based on their local criteria.
No. Mentoring is required only during the first two years of the program. In year 3 (or in year 2 if the RE has prior credit or is permitted upon consultation with their PC and mentor based on local policies and procedures), REs are assigned a trained facilitator who provides technical support for RESA submission. In some cases, the same person may be a trained mentor and facilitator, able to perform both roles. Facilitators provide a different level of support for REs, recognizing the need for REs to become more independent and reflective in their practice. During year 4, (if the RESA is complete) a colleague is assigned to support the RE in optional district/school activities and/or exploring teacher leadership.
RE Mentor Academy Day 1 and Day 2 trainings are scheduled from June through November in locations across the state. Registration is open in STARS through the SAFE account; search keywords mentor academy, RE mentor academy, mentor training, or RE mentor training.
Principals and site administrators play an important role in the RE Program. Administrators support Resident Educators and mentors with relevant professional development activities in the mentoring years that ensure successful RESA completion during the performance years. Administrators also work with the Program Coordinator and district/school administrators to develop, implement and evaluate effective local resident educator programs A supportive building administrator plays a key role in matching Resident Educators with mentor teachers, providing specific feedback and guidance, and being accessible and responsive to the individual needs of these new teachers. For more information on the role of the principal, please see the RE Program Planning and Evaluation Tool and the Resident Educator Program Standards. Also, refer to your local RE Program policies and procedures.
Yes. To participate in the program as a program coordinator, an individual must be selected by the district or school to serve in this capacity and be assigned the "Coordinator-Resident Educator Role" in the Ohio Education Directory System (OEDS).
ODE staff communicates on a regular basis directly with program coordinators to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about the Resident Educator program. Therefore, Program Coordinators must verify that their email address in their SAFE account is accurate. It is also important that Program Coordinators mark their email account as public, not private, for them to receive important email messages and updates from the Department regarding the RE Program. Program Coordinators should ensure that Resident Educators also follow this process.
No. Ohio Revised Code 3319.223 states that each district shall provide the Resident Educator Program for four years to those teachers who hold the Resident Educator License or the Alternative Resident Educator License; and that teachers holding a Resident Educator License shall participate in the teacher residency program. Additionally, districts should have specific Resident Educator Program policies and procedures in place approved by local boards of education outlining this requirement. In rare cases where a Resident Educator may have a serious, extended family crisis, military deployment or medical situation, program coordinators are encouraged to work with ODE Resident Educator staff to discuss available registration options.
There is no required training for Program Coordinators. They are encouraged to review all information provided for Program Coordinators on the Resident Educator website located here.
Individuals with out-of-state teaching experience, Teach for America experience in another state or Ohio teaching experience under certain circumstances may be given consideration for teaching credit toward the Resident Educator Program. Go here to learn more about why and how program coordinators may grant credit to educators who have teaching experience outside of the teacher residency program.
Teachers who come to Ohio with three or more years of teaching experience out-of-state should work with the Office of Educator Licensure to determine if they are eligible to apply for the 5-year professional educator license. Please go here to learn more.
The employing district/school's program coordinator must verify teaching experience with the assistance of the teacher. Documentation of this experience (e.g., letter of verification of employment) must be downloaded to My Documents in the Resident Educator's SAFE account. All Resident Educators begin in Year 1 of the program, even if they are granted credit for prior teaching experience. Before beginning the Resident Educator program, those educators who have teaching experience outside of the Ohio Resident Educator program may be eligible for one or two years of credit for teaching experience, beginning in 2011. Program Coordinators can enter teaching credit for Resident Educators directly in the CORE registration system.
Resident Educators with one or two years of credit are eligible to be registered for the summative assessment in Year 2 of the program. Further guidance about credit for teaching experience toward residency is found here. Directions for entering credit are included in the CORE Registration directions located here.
Resident Educators are permitted three opportunities to pass the Resident Educator Summative Assessment
An attempt will be counted if:
Resident Educators begin preparing for the RESA on the first day of their teaching experience. This preparation continues throughout Years 1 and 2 of the Resident Educator Program. Resident Educators work with their mentors to reflect on teacher work that shows the continual implementation of the "Plan, Teach, Assess, Reflect, Revise" teaching-learning cycle and demonstrating use of authentic teacher work such as lesson plans, data analysis and student assessment data analysis.,
The 2018-2019 Ohio RESA Guidebook, available at www.ohioresa.com guides RESA candidates through the process by providing detailed instructions on how to complete the RESA and the domains that are used with this performance-based assessment.
The 2018-19 RESA score reports will be sent to candidates by May 3, 2019.

Vacancies and candidates
As Allander Noble is a relationship driven executive recruiter we tend to have a wide variety of roles open at any time. The following are intended to give a flavour for the sort of assignments we handle but for information on our active positions please contact Stephen Williams on email@example.com
Managing Directors/General Managers
£90 -150,000 plus incentives
We would welcome the opportunity to meet experienced business unit leaders seeking to apply their skills within medium sized businesses. This can include high growth, turnarounds and businesses backed by venture capital. Typical skills will be leadership, ensuring targets are met, short and long term planning and positioning the business for the future. Key sectors are manufacturing, B2B, high tech and distribution.
Finance Controllers/Directors
£70 -150,000 plus benefits
Our client base frequently generates vacancies for finance professionals willing to participate in the broader management of a business. Often supporting sales driven MD's the roles require the ability to oversee the day to day accounting but also contribute to strategic planning, ensure that new business is profitable, contracts and liabilities are understood and that budgets and plans are delivered.
These roles tend to result in broad based finance careers which might lead onto a general management role.
Non-Executive Directors
£700-£1500 per day
The role of external NED's is increasingly appreciated by our clients. We therefore have a growing demand from our SME clients for seasoned executives who would like to apply their skills in a non-executive role. You will need to appreciate the duties and responsibilities associated with being an 'independent director' and have the enthusiasm to ensure that corporate governance is followed in such entrepreneurial environments.
Interim Executives

We are always interested in hearing from candidates in Kent, Surrey and Sussex willing to take short term interim roles in either finance or general management. Assignments are typically three or four months in length and can be on a part time basis. In many cases the cover is required at a point of change within the organisation.

An unfortunate drawback of technology is that it is becoming easier to utilize it for deception and harm. This is best exemplified by the sheer number of false claims and scams that are crafted and dispelled to target innocent people of all backgrounds.
Although these scams come in countless forms, they often appear as guarantees to earn large returns, or even as a criminal posing as a trustworthy institution which is attempting to protect their patrons from other financial scams.
While it may seem nearly impossible to discern between honest and dishonest activities, one can do just that by employing some of the best practices that are designed and recommended by legitimate banks, financial institutions, and government entities. With that in mind, let us explore the ways in which you can effectively protect yourself from financial scams.
No matter if you are approached by a stranger or a member of your own family or friend group, it is imperative you do your due diligence and verify the legitimacy of the cause or company they are representing. This can be achieved by asking them detailed questions, or by simply searching for a company or individual online. More often than not, the results will often confirm whether or not their ventures are legitimate, and can do a brunt of the decision-making for you.
Additionally, if a strange request seems to be coming from a financial institution you do business with, one of the easiest ways to protect yourself is to simply pick up the phone and call your point of contact to ask about the legitimacy of an email you have received.
Do not be afraid to ignore solicitors
If you did not initiate the contact you are receiving, you have every right to hang up the phone or delete their email. You are not obligated to take action in any way, shape, or form. However, if the scam is hiding behind the ruse of being an official warrant, such as the IRS scam that has been scaring taxpayers for years, there are some important steps you must take.
Report any and all suspicious activity to official institutions
First of all, ensure you gather the contact information of the source that you spoke to. Secondly, contact the legitimate bureau or financial institution and repeat the claims you were given via that previous phone call or email. Then, ask them to confirm or deny that they were trying to establish contact with you.
If you were, in fact, contacted by one of their representatives, your job is done! Simply address the issue they reached out to you about and move on accordingly.
On the other hand, if you were not contacted by one of the institution's representatives, ensure you report the scam you nearly fell victim to and provide the contact information you had previously recorded. Rest assured the professionals will handle the situation appropriately from there.
Financial scams can be the most devastating, as they often have a severe impact on one's lifestyle and overall quality of life. However, by remaining diligent and maintaining a healthy level of skepticism, one should be able to deflect the harmful and illegitimate activities that cross their path.

On Thursday, the National Education' Health and Allied Workers' Union, the largest union in the public sector, embarked on a strike at Department of Water and Sanitation offices and facilities throughout the country.
National Education' Health and Allied Workers' Union Speaking to Ray White on The Midday Report, Nehawu spokesperson Khaya Xaba, says the union has reached a deadlock over a dispute with management at the bargaining chamber.
He explains that the strike is over unpaid bonuses by the department, a lack of protective clothing and an inadequate working environment.
He says the union gave the department seven days strike notice so that it would not be adversely affected.
We are always available to negotiate. the department knows where to find us.— Khaya Xaba, Nehawu spokesperson
National Education' Health and Allied Workers' Union' s (Nehawu) spokesperson Khaya Xaba also spoke to The Afternoon Drive with Stephen Grootes and said that they blame the former Water and Sanitation minister Nomvula Mokonyane as she is the one that milked the department dry.
The fact that she has been moved to the communications department does not absolve her of the mess she has created in that department, therefore whatever wrong she did she must still account for. We feel she left a mess in that department, the reason that department is close to bankruptcy is because of her doing and as the accounting officer, she must account for the mess.— Khaya Xaba, Nehawu spokesperson
Listen below as Xaba explains the strike's impact on to South Africans:
Also listen to Xaba speak to Stephen Grootes about why they blame Mokonyane:
