What a beautiful baby you were! Funny to read this because it's Friday night and rugby union super 15s is on the television and one team is the Rebels, they keep playing the song Bowie's Rebel Rebel during breaks.

I have said it before, and I say it again - these award-questions are a great way of finding out interesting things about the person behind the blog :) I happen to LOVE rollercoasters too - or carousels in general. As long as they don't just spin you around, that makes me nauseous...But anything that goes fast and makes your tummy tickle! :D That could possibly also be the reason for me driving too fast occasionally...Especially if Motörhead's "Ace of Spades" happens to play on the radio. THAT song is a driving hazard! ;) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoReplyDelete
What a wonderful post! You were such a lovely child and it was fun to learn more about you. You look pretty in your glasses btw :)
Have a marvelous weekend Kizzy!

I wasn't sure how strict my Kroger would be, I only used 2 like coupons per transaction and did 2 transactions during 2 visits, excited to get all stuff we actually eat and not just a bunch of nonsense for the sake of being free. Could've done better, but I am happy with how it turned out. I was so excited that the Gogurt was $1 after the promo, so much better after my $.35 doubled coupon made them $.30! Hoping to get 4 more of those. Matchups to come!

Naval Group seeks to double its turnover by 2020. This increase will depend on a very significant upturn of the group and its suppliers' global performance.
Naval Group is committed to developing fair and mutually beneficial longstanding relationships with its suppliers.
The Charter on relations with suppliers restates these commitments and matches Naval Group's ethical approach. The Charter applies to all Naval Group collaborators who work directly with suppliers and subcontractors.
The Charter defines the principles and values to set up in terms of ethics and contractual relationships.
For any questions, the Management ethics and CSR Committee (CM.ERSE) can be contacted via a secure and confidential e-mail.
The group's supplier panel is made up of 2/3 of SMEs as well as middle-market companies. In 2013, it deployed an action plan in their favor. Naval Group's SME Plan aims to :
Naval Group links its suppliers and subcontractors to its performance and to its growth, which implies that they are closely linked to its CSR policy.
Hence, Naval Group asks its suppliers and subcontractors to adhere to the "Code of Conduct for Suppliers". This document states the group's expectations in governance, environment, human rights and social matters.
Supplier and subcontractor support for this Code of Conduct is completed by signing an "Act of Engagement".

I've put together a Holiday Gift Guide with items that are $50 or less. While this is a For Her gift guide, there are a few unisex gifts mixed in. Keep reading to find out all the details on the products above and to see additional picks, ideas, tips, and (of course) pictures.
L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream 1 oz $12
This is typically a splurge because it is pricy (for the size), it's a rich cream that doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy. Dry hands don't stand a chance against it. Checkout my eBay for my L'Occitane listings with free shipping.
Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub $7.49
The Tree Hut makes an amazing body scrub. The Brazilian Nut scent scrub is my favorite; it smells so warm and yummy. There are several different scents and that will be sure to suite anyone on your list. Make your own gift set by including a tub of the Shea Body Butter ($7.49) in the same scent.
Bath & Body Works Kiss, Sparkle & Scent Gift Set in Warm Vanilla Sugar
This affordable gift set includes body wash, lotion, a candle, lip gloss, and has cute packaging. Bath & Body Works has lots of pre-made gift sets to fit most budgets, but it's also easy to create your own by picking specific items including products for guys.
If you're looking for great deals, sign up for emails at Bath & Body Works and The Body Shop. Both companies send out emails with information on sales, promotions, and coupons.
Perfume can be a very personal decision. It's tricky to buy for someone else. A travel perfume atomizer gives fragrance lovers the option to turn any perfume into a travel version. This is great for someone that travels or that likes to carry perfume in their purse, gym bag, or car.
It may be challenging, but you can stick to a budget (I believe in you!). I usually talks in terms of how much I saved, rather thank how much I spent. Just do what I say (and not as I do) and keep track of you're actually spending instead of how much you may save. That being said... here are some great deals!
This palette is an Ulta exclusive with 4 full size (yes, full size) Amazonian Clay Blushes, 16 full sized Eye Shadows, 3 full sized Lip Glosses, and a portable compact. Plus, for a limited time, you can get a deluxe Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder as a free gift with any $25 Tarte purchase.
Tarte blushes retail for $26, so... you can do the math and figure out this is a great deal (if it's in your budget). I ordered mine over the weekend, so it's safe for me to talk about it now- haha!
Lorac Pro Palette $42
This is a beautiful palette with 16 eye shadows, half matte and half shimmery. This also comes with a mini eye primer.
Benefit Little Love Potions set $36
For the girl that wants a little bit of this and a little bit of that-- This set includes 10 mini items of some of the brands most popular products. Sample sets like this are a great way to introduce someone to a new brand or product.
Real Techniques Core Collection Set $17.99
This is a set of four face brushes that would be great for anyone that wears makeup. The
Real Techniques Starter Set $17.99
This set of 5 eye brushes would be perfect for anyone looking to expand their brush collection or have multiple brushes to work with (between cleaning).
Buying clothes for someone on your list can be tricky. Even if you know their size and style it's hard to tell if it really will fit and if it doesn't they'll need to return or exchange it. I recommend opting for 'one size fits all' accessories like scarves, jewelry, handbags, or wallets.
BaubleBar Crystal Flora Bib $46
As a jewelry lover, I like this large statement necklace from BaubleBar. This online jewelry store has lots of different styles of jewelry and offers free shipping. Even if you don't buy from the site, its a good place to get ideas about what's on trend. Check out my BaubleBar Haul for a review and my Jewelry Wishlist for more ideas.
Urban Outfitter Little Birch Jewelry Tree $32
Anyone who owns jewelry could use a jewelry organizer. Jewelry trees are great because they're functional and decorative. My own jewelry tree (from Urban Outfitters) was given to me as a gift and I love it.
Fossil Giftable Zip Clutch in Colorful Stripes $50
This wallet is full price and still manages to fit the $50 or Less price point.
If you're looking for a deal (aren't we all) check out discount stores like Ross, Marshalls, and TJ Max for a discount on name brand items. Look through department store ads (or check their website) to find out when they're running a sale on items current this season. I sometimes find the same item in discount stores for less in major department stores.
If you want you're dollar to go far... don't forget about eBay. I'm an eBay seller, but I'm also a buyer (see my listings here). The best tip I can give for someone shopping on eBay is to look at the pictures and read the listing. If you have any questions, ask the seller before bidding or purchasing. They will be happy to help you and you can then buy confidently and know exactly what to expect.
If you're not familiar with Castagram, you should be (haha). The site allows you to create personalized phone cases with pictures from Instagram, Facebook, and your computer. The site also offers gift cards, so you can gift the whole experience of customizing a case. This would make a great one of a kind gift for iPhone and Android phone users.
Anker Astro Mini Portable Phone Charger $19.99
A portable phone charger is a great gift idea for anyone that complains about battery life or is always forgetting to charge their phone. This charger is a #1 seller on Amazon. It's roughly the size of a tube of lipstick so this little powerhouse will charge up a phone without being inconveniently bulky or heavy. The Astro Mini is currently available in Pink or Blue and it comes with a USB/Micro USB cable and carrying pouch.
Target Xhilaration Tech Touch Gloves (set of 3) in Aqua and Black $7.19
Obviously not everyone would make use out of this, but it's a great gift for someone who lives in a cold climate and has a smart phone. This three pack of gloves comes in fun colors and allows for backups when a pair (inevitability) gets dirty.
Anthropologie Scarlet Apron $32
Anthropology has some really cute aprons right now. I love this red one with all of the scalped layered detailing.
Anthropologie Polka Pleats Apron $32
The black and white polka dot apron looks more like a dress than an apron and is very feminine.
There are tons of darling teapots out there, but I narrowed it down to my top three picks.
Target Elephant Teapot $15.49
This is adorable. You could leave it white or paint it with specialty paint from your local craft store.
Fab Matroyshka Tea For Two Nesting Tea Set $46
How fun! This nesting teapot includes two teacups. If you sign up for Fab using this link (http://fab.com/t7ppk5) you can get $25 off a purchase of $75+.
West Elm Owl Teapot $23
This cute teapot matches owl teacups ($11) and mugs ($8) also sold at West Elm. Items are sold individually so you can pick and chose exactly what you want.
C.Wonder Polka Dot Latte Mug $12
This is just adorable, it also comes in an orange and red polka dot mug.
Target Threshold Monogram Mug $6.98
Personalized mugs are great for anyone- not just coffee or tea drinkers. I actually use mine as a makeup brush holder.
With so many book choice, it can seem a little overwhelming trying to pick a new book for yourself, not to mention someone else. Find out what genre or author the person on your list is into or share with them some of your favorites that you think they will like too. Browse through non fiction or topics they love such as photography, fashion, or even makeup. If you're still stumped, pick up a classic for the sentimental one on your list.
Puffin Classics $25 or less each
Puffin Classics are great because they are beloved books from childhood with beautiful, decorative covers. I own The Secret Garden, which was a childhood favorite of mine, but they also have other titles including The Wizard of OZ, Peter Pan, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Little Princess, and The Adventures Of Robin Hood.
Q & A A Day 5 Year Journal $16.99
This is a daily journal that asks the same questions each year. It's a clever idea that can show how much or little one may change over a relatively short period in ones life.
Who doesn't love a warm, soft, cozy throw? This throw from Target comes in several colors, but the white one reminds me of a polar bear... so that's the one I suggest. :)
Lastly, for you bargain hunters and online shoppers-
- Check Retailmenot.com before you complete an order. Check for any coupon/discount codes or free shipping codes.
- Sign up for store emails with the stores you shop at regularly or plan to do holiday shopping, most stores send out coupons or let you know about great sales.
- Shop with a list and a budget.

My dad taught me how to play chess when I was five years old. When I was seven, I joined my school's chess club and found I had a knack for the game, and through playing I quickly rose towards the top of the rating ladder. The game stuck with me long after many of my chess club friends had abandoned it. I enjoyed the mix of creativity, intuition, memory, and logic that chess required. By scholastic standards I joined competitive chess fairly late, a few months before my 12th birthday, but I improved quickly. By the time I was 15, I was strong enough that it was conceivable become an official chess master before I graduated high school. Alas, I got a bit burned out from playing so frequently (I'd often commute over an hour each way on school nights to play tournaments, and would come back home with my homework incomplete and only five or six hours left before I had to wake up for school), and I became distracted with my improving social life and greater involvement in the Troy Davis campaign. My tournament frequency plummeted, my ranking dropped, I stopped training, and I never really returned from hiatus. I still plan on becoming a master (or beyond) some day, but until then I'll have to content myself with peaking at 16.
Chess Achievements
K-6 Unrated SuperNationals National Champion (Apr 2005) (This win, one month after I began playing competitively, was featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution).
Runner-Up Georgia High School State Champion (Apr 2009)
Georgia Grade 11 Chess Champion (Oct 2009)
Ranked top 100 in the US for age from June 2008- August 2012, when I aged out (peak rank #56)
Ranked top 100 in Georgia from August 2008-Present (peak rank somewhere in the 30s)
Ranked top 10 high school players in Georgia from February 2009-August 2011, when I aged out (peak rank #5)
I founded the Alpharetta High School chess club in 2007, my freshman year of high school, and ran it for the next four years. That year, we couldn't muster enough people to send a team to send to the state championships.
The next year I managed to scrape together a team at the last minute, and served as the team's captain. We won all but one match (narrowly losing 2-3) to become the runner-up state champions
In 2010, my junior year, I again captained the team, this time generating enough interest to send two teams, an "A" team of the school's top players, and a "B" team of less experienced players. The A team became the first (and to date, only) team in state history to ever win the state championship with a perfect 25-0 score, winning all five matches on all five boards every time. The B team also had a respectable result, finishing in the middle of the pack with a 2.5/5 match score.
Due to scheduling conflicts, we could not attend the tournament in 2011 to defend our title. Still, by the time I graduated a lot more people knew about chess and the chess club, and sometimes I'd even see people pulling out chess sets and playing during lunch, which would've been unheard of just a few years earlier.
My Best Game
I've had a couple of games that I really liked, but I think the one that stands out the most is a game I played when I was 16. I was playing Damir Studen, the Georgia state champion, known for his tactical prowess and his unmatched skill in short time controls (any time control under 60 minutes per side). Damir had (and still has) a very lopsided record against me. His usual strategy is to hold me at bay until I get into time pressure, and then set nefarious tactical traps that I wouldn't have the time to figure out. This has worked very well for him, and there was a time when he was known for pulling out wins from lost positions using this strategy. Some called it "swindling", but I think that's unfair. I takes a lot of skill to do what he does.
This game was a 45 minute game, and as expected when it finished I only had a few minutes left on my clock while Damir had more than half of his time remaining. The big mistake was 18…Re8, allowing 19.Qh7+. My guess is that Damir didn't think it was much of a threat, since there was no natural followup. I probably would've thought the same way if I hadn't studied the game Smyslov-Ribli, 1983 just a few weeks before. In that game, Grandmaster Ribli makes a similar mistake in allowing a Queen to come to h7, which allowed former world champion Smyslov to win with a brilliant attack.

It's officially summertime. The fish are jumping, the catnip is high, the birds and the bees are busy gathering, the plants are busy growing and some herbalists are busy brewing up herbal recipes for skincare lotions and creams. But what about taking care of your skin from the inside?
In The Practicing Herbalist, master herbalist Margi Flint does an outstanding job of explaining Chinese Facial Analysis, illustrating how the laugh lines around your mouth and the lines across your forehead are reflections of a backed-up colon. Other lines are also connected to toxic body sites.

Here are a couple of my favorite herbs that work from the inside to help your skin shine on the outside.
• Burdock (Arctium lappa). My favorite blood cleanser, with an affinity for the epidermis. So good, it helps with psoriasis and poison ivy.
• Red clover (Trifolium pratense). An antibacterial agent. It's been effective with many skin disorders including athlete's foot. It also helps with cough, colds and burns.
• Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica). A safe and effective laxative; also useful for clearing impurities out of the blood.
• Boldo (Peumus boldus). A gentle remedy for the liver, gallbladder and digestion.
Helping to clean the digestive system and liver will assist clearing the body of toxins so that epidermis eruptions, pimples, and rashes don't have a chance collecting and dispersing on the skin.

Local etiquette trips up even the savviest travelers – so here we weigh in with some of the worst mistakes not to make abroad.
The number trap
In some cultures, giving the wrong amount of an item can be worse than no present at all. Do not give an even number of flowers as a gift in Russia; they are for dead folks. A proper bouquet will have one, three, five or seven flowers. Odd numbers of flowers are given for happy occasions in Russia, while bouquets of two, four, six, 12 or 24 stems are often brought to funerals. In China, the word for 'four' sounds very similar to the word for 'death', so it is a good idea to avoid giving anything in fours.
Similarly, in Japan, the traditional wedding gift of cash should not be given in bills divisible by two: that signifies the marriage could end in divorce. A gift of 20,000 yen, for example, should be given with one 10,000 yen and two 5,000 yen notes – but not two bills of 10,000 yen.
Hands off
As tempting as rubbing children's hair might be for visitors from other cultures, in southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand and Malaysia, never touch anyone's head or pass anything from above the head, since it is considered to be the most sacred body part.
Keep to yourself
Across Western Europe, avoid striking up conversations with strangers, except about how bad something is or about the weather. In addition to the fact that business-oriented nature of some of bigger cities in Northern and Western Europe often emphasizes saving time – and avoiding unnecessary chatter, avoiding eye contact is the only way to preserve a Londoner's sense of personal space.
Just go with it
When it comes to humor, roll with the punches. Mexico is a place where visitors should feel accepted – not offended – if they are being insulted. Although, this kind of humor is fairly common across Latin American cultures, tread lightly when returning the jabs.
Keep it down
A loud tone of voice, particularly in a one-on-one conversation, can be tactless in many cultures; in France, it is truly gauche. French use different volumes for different situations. In a café, you cannot overhear a discussion at the nearest table, even if it is only two or three feet away. It is recommended to always mimic your conversation partner's volume and adjusting upwards only when needed. Keeping your voice down is not just polite: it may even be safer.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Tuesday, December 13 at 1:00 p.m., Colorado National Monument will temporarily close the upper section of Rim Rock Drive from DS Road to Independence Monument Overlook to all traffic due to icy and hazardous driving conditions.
Once the storm has subsided, upper Rim Rock Drive will be plowed, sanded, and cleared within 24 hours.
During plowing and sanding operations, upper Rim Rock drive will be closed with three traffic gates. The gates are located west of DS Road, at 16 1/2 Road and at Independence Monument Overlook.
Temporary closure of the upper section of Rim Rock Drive during active storms will make clearing routes safer and more efficient. Closures may be a few hours to a few days depending upon the duration of the storm.
During temporary storm closures, all Glade Park motorized traffic will need to use DS Road or Little Park Road because 16 1/2 Road at Rim Rock Drive will be temporarily closed. Glade Park commuters who normally access Rim Rock Drive are encouraged to use DS Road on east Rim Rock Drive during active storms.
Colorado National Monument will continue to maintain the east hill and west hill of Rim Rock Drive during the storm event.
Pedestrians and bicycles will not be permitted on the upper section of Rim Rock Drive during active storms and when gates are closed. Walking or riding around the gate barricades is a serious safety violation and may result in a citation. The gates will be reopened as soon as the upper section of Rim Rock Drive has been cleared.
Information on developing storms and temporary road closures can be found by calling Colorado National Monument's Winter Information Hotline at 970-858-3617, ext 402

It seems like not much is known about this critter apart from being endangered, but he is adorable, isn't he?
Zeus's Robber Frog, isolated to a small area of Cuba, is closely related to the more popular Puerto Rican coquí. The coquí, so called because of the chirping noise it makes, is found in El Yunque, the only rainforest belonging to the U.S. Forest Service!
The writer in me has a huge pet peeve. Everywhere I found information on this frog, it was written as Zeus'. So I've used "Zeus's" rather than "Zeus'," because that's just how it is supposed to be--you wouldn't say "my boss' car"!
I'm a little late, but I (mostly) did it!
Um... Sorry I'm a few days late. I was backpacking the Great Smoky Mountains all weekend and totally forgot to set this on auto-post! That's a story for another day though, and no, while bears were spotted near our campsite by other hikers on the second night, we didn't see any!

Z is for Zeus's Robber Frog

YEAH!!!! I was wondering where Z got off too!ReplyDelete
Congrats on finishing!
Great Smoky Mountains? That sounds amazing and a great reason to miss a blog post.
Don't be a stranger!
Thanks for sharing this interesting creature. One of the blogs I follow, Missed Periods, covered the apostrophe catastrophe a few weeks ago. I wish I could remember what she said about the s' versus the s's rule. Sorry about that.ReplyDelete

Want to make something awesome for your crafty friend, super mommy, or best chef? This handy multi pocket apron is super stylish, slightly upscale and just as useful as your usual kind of apron.
I sew, but I don't use patterns and my seams aren't always perfect....but with this crafty apron that's not a problem, because we want our finished product to be embellished, patchworked and slightly tattered. Best of all this is all made out of scrap fabric and leftover trim!
Materials include various small squares and rectangles of fabric, cotton, rayon, light canvas etc. Ribbon, lace, tassles, rick rack, seam binding will be used to trim the apron. Don't have any? Fabric stores sometimes have really inexpensive "grab bags".
The main body of the apron should be 25-27"long and 12-14" wide.
Strap & top binding approx 3" wide piece 72" long
Not a hard and fast rule, that's just the approx measures of the old regular apron I used for a template. I like this size, it hits me at mid thigh, and the pockets aren't too low.
I happen to have a bunch of light upholstery/canvas fabrics that I got at a fabric barn clearance sale of their 18" sample squares. So to make up the body of the apron I used two pieces. An 8" piece and 18" piece. Sew these together first I off set the contrasting piece for interest. You could also just the whole main body out of one piece as well.
The pockets can be various sizes. The apron I made for my friend had two big pockets, a little 6" x 4" in one corner and a tall pocket (spoon/scissors) on one side... The one I made myself 5 pockets! I imagine this coming in very handy at shows so I made a tall pocket, a large pocket, two phone/gadget pockets and little coin pocket (3" 1/2 x 3" 1/2). I just start cutting varies size rectangles and start placing them on my main body. I was lucky in that many of my fabrics had selvage edges, I just zigzag stitched right over them. You could fold and iron them under.. I'm not that patient! I like to keep ironing at a minimum.
Design the apron. Lay everything out first and pin together pieces that need to be sewn first. If you want to you should turn your mainbody edges under and sew them down (unless like me you plan to cover them with trim) You can iron and sewed the strap onto main body first or last its your call. The strap piece will also cover the edges of the top of the apron and become the apron ties. I did iron this piece, turning the edges down 1/4" and ironing and then folding in half and ironing again. Find the middles of the main body and the strap and line up and pin together. The raw edge of the apron is sandwiched between the strap becomes a nice binding for the top.
Most important is to sew the little pockets on top of the big pockets,before sewing to the background. You can also take a larger piece and sew dividers into it and create smaller narrower pocket. I sewed a small inch of fabric (kind of a gusset) on the edges of large pocket and then tucked the bottom together to make the pocket stick out. Some embellishments need to be sewn on first, if they are on the top of the pocket. If its just trimming around the edges than that can be done after its sewn on. I actually sewed the pocket down...make sure not to sewn it shut! And sewing the trim on reinforces the pocket and beatifies at the same time.
I have a lot of frayed silk ribbons so I went to town sewing these around the edges in an effort to hide some of those ugly edges. I made couple of little appliques that I thought added to the whole piece. One of the aprons has a puffy heart in the corner, I cut the shape sewed it on the background, leaving a space for stuffing bit of polyfil and sewed it shut. I later ribboned around it. the zigzag and satin stitch is your friend. Experiment with textures and patterns, there's no wrong answer, some things I didn't think would work actually came out great.
These aprons can be sleek and modern, or patchwork and eclectic. Whoever gets them will love them!
Cut the pieces.
Pick your trim and pocket patches.
Design the layout. If two pieces, sew the main body together.
Iron the strap and sew to main body
Pin the pieces. Sew little pockets to larger pieces.
Embellish to your heart's content.

Your standard found footage zombie film with one intriguing twist. Most zombie stories fall into the post-apocalyptic category of things, but Re Kill bases its premise on a deceptively simple question: what if society didn't end when the zombie virus came and conquered? And from there, the story blossoms. Sure, the zombies came and sure they wiped out 80% of the population, but life goes on – looking disturbingly similar to the way it did before calamity struck. Commercials clog the airways, selling sex, luxury homes, and anti-zombie pills that probably don't work.
Life goes on. That might be the scariest part.
Re Kill follows a reality TV show around, centered on a team of zombie killers as they go about their business. It's Cops with the nasty habit of showing headshots and police brutality in perfect detail, while still pausing to blur out the occasional nakedness. Reality TV has standards, after all. Re Kill is following in the grand tradition of several horror films that touched on similar themes, including Series 7: The Contenders, Battle Royale, and more recently, The Hunger Games society. However, Re Kill seems more interested in developing the world that its story inhabits rather than the characters that ought to be driving the plot. All we're given is snippets of backstory, prepped for TV and devoid of anything real. We don't learn enough about these people to really care one way or another when they die – and most of them do, in the end. Re Kill isn't interested in creating deep characterization or even much in the way of character development.
All that being said, it doesn't really need to. The conversation that Re Kill wants to have is established by the world that the characters inhabit, rather than the people themselves. In many ways, it's about the collective instead of individuals. The characters themselves don't matter except in how they are representative of other people; for instance, it's important that Louis is a member of R-team, and that he joined in order to get a green card, but his internal thoughts and character arc are – perhaps conspicuously – absent from the narrative. I wouldn't say that Re Kill is a perfect film, but it accomplishes what it set out to do. Come for the social commentary, but don't expect to form an emotional connection with anyone who appears on screen.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported the campaign!!! In a short 16 days there was a monsoon of support and we are diving into production on Waking Dream. To see the current status of production and to watch the final episodes when they launch, check out the project at: www.inationmedia.com/waking-dream
Also, follow iNation Media on social at the links below for the latest on all iNation Media projects:
FB: www.facebook.com/inationmedia
Twitter: @inationproject
Insta: @inationmedia
Vimeo: vimeo.com/channels/wakingdream
Waking Dream is a series of short documentaries about the lives of young undocumented people across the U.S. After receiving a DACA permit, these young people who grew up in the U.S. have finally been able to have protection against deportation, work legally, go to school, start businesses, and obtain the jobs of their dreams--but this reality could all come crashing down. President-elect Trump has threatened to repeal DACA on day one of the new administration, and the futures of more than 740,000 young people hang in the balance.
The series of short films will follow a diverse set of young undocumented people, coming from a range of ethnic/cultural backgrounds and different geographic locations in the U.S. Waking Dream will follow these characters into the first year of the Trump administration, in which they could potentially lose work authorization, and shift from having many of the privileges of a U.S. citizen, to being at risk of deportation at any time.
The first episode of Waking Dream will profile three DACAmented young people across the country before the inauguration on January 20th, 2017, as they prepare for their uncertain future. The subsequent episodes of the series will show the resilience, innovation, and persistence of the young undocumented community, as well as the tremendous challenges that the future may bring.
As immigrant communities across the U.S. brace for an overtly anti-immigrant Executive branch in Washington that has pledged to deport 2 to 3 million people, this series of intimate portraits will cut beyond the politics to reveal the reality of undocumented young people in the U.S.
DACA recipients had to go through a comprehensive background check and give troves of personal information to gain their permits. In addition to potentially losing their jobs, having to drop out of school, and not being able to drive, there is a tangible fear throughout the DACA community recipients could be targeted for deportation. If DACA is repealed, a tremendous loss would fall on the undocumented community, but the ripple effects will immediately fall on the communities across the country. An estimated 433 Billion dollars would be taken away from the U.S. GDP over the next 10 years, unemployment would rise, purchasing power of the U.S. would drop, and 740,000 people wouldn't be able to pay taxes, pay back their mortgages, or student loans.
We are asking you to support us in any way that you can, even $1 helps us get closer to our goal of funding the production of this series. Please spread the word about our campaign through social media so we can share it as widely as possible. As a thank you, we've got great rewards for our backers, from tote bags to recipe books, to an invitation to our San Francisco screening.
This 25K campaign will raise much needed funds for the production of the first two episodes of the series. We need to hire some key players to make it all happen and plan to film with multiple characters in the Waking Dream series, across the country, for 10 days with a 3 person crew on each day. Here is the breakdown of how the money will be spent:
- 60% Production fees to pay crew filming the first two (of five) episodes of Waking Dream
- 20% Travel costs (airfare/hotel/ground transportation/food)
- 10% Kickstarter fees
- 10% Equipment rental for production
Two powerful short films that explore contemporary immigration issues in the U.S., The Caretaker and The Mayor are intimate portraits of relationships between recent immigrants, and those who came to the U.S. generations ago.
Marathon - Julio Sauce came to the U.S. from the Ecuadorean Andes fifteen years ago searching for a better life. Having never run before, Julio saw the New York City marathon on TV and said 'One day, I'm going to do that.' In the midst of a struggling to make ends meet, working long and hard days in the back of a kitchen, and raising a family, Julio manages to run up to 80 miles a week in preparation for the biggest race in the world, the New York City Marathon.
Sin País (Without Country) attempts to get beyond the partisan politics and mainstream media's 'talking point' approach to immigration issues by exploring one family's complex and emotional journey involving deportation.
We are looking for people who are willing to stand up and tell their stories by being featured in a series of short films. The series of short films will profile DACAmented people across the country, who come from a variety of backgrounds, and have had their lives significantly impacted by obtaining a DACA permit. We're looking for people who who have been able to go to school, gotten better jobs, are supporting their families, have started businesses, and are chasing their dreams.

Waking Dream will be following the stories of five young undocumented people in real time throughout the first year of the Trump administration. Although we are planning to finish the series in the fall of 2017, we don't know what will happen in the lives of the characters in the series, and this deadline could be extended. However, we feel that it is very important to release these stories in the first year of the Trump administration as immigration policy for the next 4 years is being formed.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Josh McDaniels' return to the NFL is expected to come within the next 24 hours, and it sounds like he's headed to St. Louis.
NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports McDaniels is close to deciding between the Vikings and Rams, and that he's "probably" going to pick the Rams. McDaniels would then be paired with Steve Spagnuolo, his adversary in Super Bowl 42.
It seems like an easy choice for McDaniels considering Sam Bradford's presence in St. Louis.
We're a little surprised the Rams would be so quick to go away from the scheme that worked for Bradford as a rookie. There also has to be some fear that McDaniels could wind up leaving town in a few years, robbing Bradford of the continuity so many top quarterbacks are afforded.

May I say that I found this book a little weird? It's a bilingual version, published by Anaya, of a very famous illustrated novel written by David McKee and translated into many languages as well.
It's strange because the protagonist, Bernard, didn't get any revenge for being ignored by his parents all the time.
On the contrary, right in the middle of the story, he's eaten by a monster, which was waiting for him in the garden. Can a supposed protagonist die in the middle of a book?
What terrible parents! Always too busy to pay any attention to their own son, who, desperately looking for someone to spend time with, ends up eaten by an unfriendly-looking monster. Can you see the metaphor?
This happens in real life as well, doesn't it?
The tale continues showing the monster, which has now taken the place of Bernard, going indoors and being ignored by those busy parents of Bernard.
The monster has changed into Bernard now, we can recognize the child's expression on its face. It could be judged as an annoying kid: It bites the father's leg, it beaks toys… At the end of the story, even its identity as a monster starts to weaken.
It rings a bell… it reminds me of some students with a difficult personality, whose distrust was overcome with some extra praise and affection.
Anyway, the book is easy reading for 6 year-old Spanish students and it's food for thought. It has got attractive illustrations that will catch your students attention, easy-to-follow story lines that will keep them attentive, and simple, repetitive language presented in a meaningful context that will help retention.

There is no sandwich more pure than a simple egg salad. The only thing that could make this sandwich better is fresh home grown eggs.
And that's exactly what I used!
My daughter and son love to check for eggs every morning. It's become a morning routine and finding the eggs in the chicken coop's nesting boxes never gets old.
Here is Ribbon, our Rhode Island Red chicken and she belongs to my daughter. My son's is the Ameraucana and her name is Chocolate. Ribbon lays the brown eggs and Chocolate lays green eggs.
Here's what they looked like when we first brought them home. Aren't they the cutest things you've ever seen?
We're able to get about a dozen eggs a week from our chickens. They're such hard workers aren't they? I love pets that earn their keep!
I learned about the difficulty of peeling fresh boiled eggs the hard way. With eggs that are just a day or two old, the membrane beneath the shell sticks tightly to the shell making peeling the egg almost impossible. But, I must say it was totally worth the trouble. I'm glad I boiled extra eggs because I did lose a lot of egg during the peeling process.
This had the be the most heavenly egg salad sandwich I've ever eaten. I made it really simple so I could taste the purity of the fresh eggs. I only used mayo, mustard, and dill, and salt and pepper of course.
Fresh Egg Salad Sandwich
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1-2 Tbsp mayonnaise (to taste)
1 tsp dijon mustard
½ tsp dried dill
Salt and pepper (to taste)
2 slices wheat bread
To make hard boiled eggs, place a few eggs in a saucepan and add enough water to cover the eggs. Cover the pan and bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water begins to boil, remove the pan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 12 minutes. Drain the water from the pan, add cold water to cool the eggs, let sit a couple minutes longer.
Mash up the chopped egg a bit with a fork. Mix together the chopped hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise, and dill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Mix with a spoon.
Spread the egg mixture on top of one slice of bread, put another slice of bread on top.

Race and DiscriminationCherry Bomb -- Tuesday, August 04, 2009 -- 12:11:24 AM
A place to discuss all issues involving race.This thread is tagged: race, affirmative, preferences, racism
(All users will see what tags exist for a thread. Please tag carefully!)
Racism doesn't mean what it used to--I've been seeing this observation made more and more, about the unintended consequences of increased racial awareness:
Affirmative action, it now seems clear, helped change white America's attitude about race, although not entirely in the way that its creators intended. In 1982, scarcely a decade after President Nixon mandated affirmative action for companies with government contracts, a study published in the American Sociological Review found that only twenty-seven per cent of whites thought that blacks had a worse than average chance of succeeding in America, while slightly more, about twenty-nine per cent, thought that blacks' opportunities were better than average. Sixty-three per cent thought that racial minorities enjoyed at least a little bit of "unfair" reverse discrimination.
There are plenty of people in America, especially in black America, who believe that reverse racism is a contradiction in terms. Racism, the argument goes, should not be thought of as a personal failing; it's a social system, with a specific history. Discrimination against whites, however unfair, isn't part of that system, and therefore is not analogous to discrimination against blacks. This history adds symbolic weight to stories that might otherwise inspire only passing curiosity—like, say, the one about the black Harvard professor who was suspected of breaking into his own house. Systemic racism doesn't require malice, or a specific perpetrator; everyone who benefits is guilty, even people who don't think that they benefit.
In the past few decades, though, reverse racism has undergone a similar redefinition, from symptom to system. Some who are skeptical of affirmative action, and of other programs designed to advance non-whites, consider reverse racism to be so pervasive, and so well entrenched, that it can only be described as systemic. (Think of Frank Ricci, the white firefighter who argued, successfully, that the city of New Haven had violated his civil rights.) And, despite Beck's diagnosis of Obama's "hatred," many of the people who worry about Obama's view of race see him not as personally bigoted but as complicit with anti-white interests and policies.
In fact, the "reverse" has largely been dropped from "reverse racism"; in today's mainstream political discourse, "racism" regularly refers to anti-white racism. Meanwhile, many politicians and commentators concerned with the brutal legacy of old-fashioned racism have learned to speak about it in less abstract, less inflammatory terms: they talk about too-high incarceration rates, or the need for better communication between police officers and the communities they serve. Certainly, Obama is at his most effective when he sticks to concrete prescriptions (the means) and airy evocations of progress (the end). This, by and large, has been his strategy and his script, and even he may not know exactly why, on being asked about Gates, he strayed from it.
Glenn Loury had one of the best articles on the topic, but then I'm one of Loury's hugest fans:
So, while I have had my "problems" with the police, when I consider the realities of contemporary society I have to acknowledge that they have a tough and often thankless job to do. The institutions I am wont to denounce — the police, courts and prisons — are the principal means by which we as a nation have chosen, through our politics, to deal with the antisocial behaviors of our fellow citizens.
However, such behavioral problems reflect failures elsewhere in our society — racial and class segregation in our cities; inadequate education for the poor; and the collapse of the family as an institution in some communities. Because of these failures, we have large numbers of under-socialized, undereducated and virtually unemployable young men in our cities and towns. (They are not all black, to be sure, but they are disproportionately so.) Domestic violence is a serious problem in many of our communities; drug trafficking and gang activity are important parts of the social economy of the inner city.
Necessarily, such unlovely realities must be dealt with daily, and the police are at the front line in our society's response to them. We should be slow to judge them, and slower still to embrace crude stereotypes about their motives — just as they should be slow to conclude that someone is a likely criminal suspect because he happens to be black and male.
The police are our agents, charged with the imperative to control the unruly behavior of people who don't act within the norms of society. This does not excuse "racial profiling" by police officers. It is merely to acknowledge an essential aspect of the circumstances that fuel suspicion and antipathy between black men and the police.
I hope that something of lasting value might come from the uproar surrounding the Gates arrest. But my firm conviction is that change will not come about from the moral posturing of politicians or from more intense "sensitivity training" for police officers. Nor will it come from the president having a beer with Professor Gates and Sergeant Crowley, as Mr. Obama suggested in his follow-up meeting with the press on Friday.
Rather, along with Senator James Webb, Democrat of Virginia, I believe we should be pursuing far-reaching reforms in our criminal justice system. We should invest more in helping the troubled people — our fellow citizens — caught in the law enforcement web to find a constructive role in society, and less in punishing them for punishment's sake. We need to change the ways in which we deal with juvenile offenders, so that a foolish act in childhood doesn't put them on the road to lifetimes in prison. We should seriously consider that many of our sentences are too long — "three strikes" laws may be good politics, but they are an irrational abomination as policy. We should definitely consider decriminalizing most drug use. We need to reinvent parole.
And, most important, we should weigh more heavily the negative and self-defeating effects that our policy of mass incarceration is having on the communities where large numbers of young black and Hispanic men live.
Just read this Breitbart article today:
The problem for the White House was the more the esteemed professor talked, the more trouble he created for his friend, the president. The clever photo-op sans audio was crafted to yank the director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research off the stage, lest anyone begin to question what is being taught at Harvard these days.
Conversely, the more Sgt. Crowley weighed in, and his brave black co-workers spoke out, the more obvious it became that a national discussion featuring this cast of characters may not end with the results the professor and the president wanted.
But then Skip Gates was tired. What was President Barack Obama's excuse? Why did he step into the same cultural narrative that Mr. Gates had tried and failed with?
Where race is concerned, I sometimes think of the president as the Peter Sellers character in "Dr. Strangelove." Sellers plays a closet Nazi whose left arm—quite involuntarily—keeps springing up into the Heil Hitler salute. We see him in his wheelchair, his right arm—the good and decent arm—struggling to keep the Nazi arm down so that no one will know the truth of his inner life. These wrestling matches between the good and bad arms were hysterically funny.
When I saw Mr. Obama—with every escape route available to him—wade right into the Gates affair at the end of his health-care news conference, I knew that his demon arm had momentarily won out over his good arm. It broke completely free—into full salute—in the "acted stupidly" comment that he made in reference to the Cambridge police's handling of the matter. Here was the implication that whites were such clumsy and incorrigible racists that even the most highly achieved blacks lived in constant peril of racial humiliation. This was a cultural narrative, a politics, and in the end it was a bigotry. It let white Americans see a president who doubted them

I think sometimes we get a bit American-centric on these issues.
This strikes me as, well, insane:
The county is drowning in debt (the county hospital lost $80 million last year), real estate taxes have risen dramatically, and there's talk of laying off police and firefighters. But we will have racial equality.
I don't know you well enough, Cliff, to know whether your final comment in the post above is flip or not.
I find it creepy that a county is being forced to zone for cheap housing and market that housing to poor minorities in cities, effectively moving urban blight out to the surburbs and allowing the federal government to keep score on whether localities are diverse enough.
They are going need a lot of luck with that. "Build it and they will come" is from a fantasy movie.
In Seattle, we have affordable housing spread all over the place, but we still have the Central District, and some people don't want to move out.
PM, maybe I should have put "racial equality" in quotes. "Creepy," as you say, is the mildest descriptive I would use to characterize this misguided, dimwitted attempt at social engineering.
That said, I fully support that if we must have this kind of legislation that the many localities in California which are overwhelmingly white and liberal be forced to integrate first. From Marin county to the Monterey coast to Santa Barbara to Malibu, let's allow a little color into these dull white places. It seems only fair to have those localities which are constantly calling red America racist to lead the charge in this battle.
(I suspect, however, that when forced to do what they are happy to have the rest of us forced to do, that they will become far less enthusiastic about their social engineering and much more sensitive to the possible unintended consequences of their proposals.)
That's what I was going to point out--it's those ultra-white enclaves that vote so vehemently for Dems. Let them taste some of the results of their efforts.
In reality, though, I expect more white flight--possibly back into the cities.
Rock legend Bob Dylan was treated like a complete unknown by police in a New Jersey shore community when a resident called to report someone wandering around the neighborhood.
Dylan was in Long Branch, about a two-hour drive south of New York City, on July 23 as part of a tour with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp that was to play at a baseball stadium in nearby Lakewood.
A 24-year-old police officer apparently was unaware of who Dylan is and asked him for identification, Long Branch business administrator Howard Woolley said Friday.
"I don't think she was familiar with his entire body of work," Woolley said.
The incident began at 5 p.m. when a resident said a man was wandering around a low-income, predominantly minority neighborhood several blocks from the oceanfront looking at houses.
The police officer drove up to Dylan, who was wearing a blue jacket, and asked him his name. According to Woolley, the following exchange ensued:
"What is your name, sir?" the officer asked.
"Bob Dylan," Dylan said.
"OK, what are you doing here?" the officer asked.
"I'm on tour," the singer replied.
A second officer, also in his 20s, responded to assist the first officer. He, too, apparently was unfamiliar with Dylan, Woolley said.
The officers asked Dylan for identification. The singer of such classics as "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Blowin' in the Wind" said that he didn't have any ID with him, that he was just walking around looking at houses to pass some time before that night's show.
The officers asked Dylan, 68, to accompany them back to the Ocean Place Resort and Spa, where the performers were staying. Once there, tour staff vouched for Dylan.
The officers thanked him for his cooperation.
"He couldn't have been any nicer to them," Woolley added.
The cops were racial profiling: white guy, low income neighborhood, must be buying crack.
But then, as Steve Sailer said, it's not as if Dylan's someone super famous like, say, Skip Gates.
I just reposted that to Facebook. Thanks for the highlight, as I may have missed the story otherwise.
man, if something like this was ambling around my neighborhood, I might look twice, too.
Oh, I think it was totally normal to look twice. Hell, Bob Dylan usually looks much scaggier than that. But would he have been given the once over if he'd been looking like that and black in the same neighborhood? Probably not.
I didn't mean to imply that he shouldn't have been questioned. The irony was a) that the cops had never heard of him and b) an incredibly famous white man complied cheerfully when he was questioned by the cops, rather than go nuts at the clear implication that he was in the wrong place for his skin color.

Bangkok is a popular city in Asia for shopping. My family and I were too excited to get in the plane to see the place. My bro and I were merely fifth wheelers on this trip because my parents only chose to visit since they were looking for a business opportunity on auto parts. Anyway, the airport in Suvharnabhumi was amazing. Consists of 7 floors. The design has its Thai signature like a classic edgy structure.
We spent quite sometime in the airport since some of the tour deals, sim cards and car rental booths are also stowed just before you pass by the Exit marquee. I grabbed the opportunity of listening to the old man in a suit showing me a booklet of tour packages. I chose the Floating market and the Grand Palace; Wat Prakeaw in the Old City, I thought it was the safest for my parents since we only have 2 days to roam around. The two tours we got was accompanied by a tour guide.
Anyway, the real bad news here is the traffic, its horrific! I feel its twice as bad as Manila, but maybe its just the same. The only difference is I know where I can ditch the traffic jam but here, I have nowhere to go than just sit, wait and complain to myself.
I'm starting off these Bangkok posts with the exquisite temples located in the city. I adored all the temples we've seen. All of them are palace-like but is intended for devoted Buddhists who wants a solemn prayer, the tour guide said 90% of the Thai population are Buddhists.
The grounds are peaceful except for the one side near the entrace where the stores are. The quite place is well respected even for tourists. The people managing this tourist area is of conservative of nature and lends tourists shawl to cover up before entering the pantheon.
Within the grounds of the Grand Palace, the Wat Phra Kaew or Emerald Buddha is located.
Wat Pho Temple is where the gigantic reclining Buddha is housed and where the birthplace of Thai Massage is. I had a terrible experience getting a Thai Massage in the streets of KL, I should've gotten it where the experts are. The tour guide said the golden buddha was built of golden leaf and decorated with pearls. Inside this compound are small temples that have their own names that I pretty much forgot about.
Outside the temples are the ground with 91 mounds and a central shrine. These mounds contains the ashes of the royal family, and the large ones are said to contain the ashes of Buddha.

Ever since losing their first two games in Tampa Bay, the Baltimore Orioles have been rolling. They won their third game in a row, as they defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 3-2, on Wednesday night.
The Orioles have won their third in a row and are 37-28. They trail the Boston Red Sox by 2 ½ games right now.
As well, the Orioles have taken five out of six games from the Angels in 2013.
Another Baltimore pitcher came through for the second night in a row with a solid performance, as this time it was Miguel Gonzalez.
He perhaps had his best best in his short Oriole career so far, as he went eight innings, and allowed only one run. Gonzalez allowed four hits, struck out five, and his only run given up was via a Mike Trout homer.
Gonzalez was unflappable on the mound last night and for a change, the bullpen got a night of rest.
Jim Johnson came on the mound in the ninth and earned 23rd save; however, he did give up a run in the frame as Albert Pujols had an RBI-single.
On the offensive front, Nick Markakis was the start of the game as he had a two-run double in the seventh inning that broke a 1-1 tie. That made the difference for Baltimore. He also shined in the field, making several decisive plays that could have been favorable to the Angels, if not made.
Manny Machado plated in a run with a RBI-groundout in the 4th inning.
I find it amazing how bad the Los Angeles Angels have been despite the amount of money and talent on the roster. They should have an all-world offense, but it is not clicking, Josh Hamilton and Pujols look old and terrible; in addition, their general manager, Jerry DiPoto perhaps did a lackluster job in building a pitching staff.
I know a lot of people had issues with what Dan Duquette and the Orioles did in the offseason in terms of the free agent market; however, they seemed to have faith in the core players and knew their personnel very well.
That's more than what can be said for the Angels.
The two teams meet up again this afternoon; however, this weekend, the Boston Red Sox come into town and face the Birds. It should be an interesting four-game set, as play starts on Thursday night into Sunday. With the Red Sox leading the American League East, hopefully, the Orioles can chip their lead down, if not overtake it.

You are hereHome › Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are an 'earn while you learn' alternative to college that offer the opportunity for you to achieve a nationally recognised qualification whilst gaining experience of a working environment. The hands on training of an Apprenticeship will help develop many skills you need to carry through your working career. click here for more information.
In order to commence on the programme you must be in employment and we can assist you in finding a placement in a company best suited to your chosen career. Once in employment you will attend Oldham Training Centre on a release basis where you will work towards your Apprenticeship framework. The Training Assessors at the centre will also visit you in the company to monitor your progress and make sure you are happy with your course.
The framework consists of at least 3 elements; NVQ, Technical Certificate and Functional Skills which have to be completed as part of the Apprenticeship. NVQ's are the practical side of learning where you will be 'hands-on' in the workplace building up your skills. For the Apprenticeship framework you will complete an NVQ level 2 which is equivalent to 5 GCSEs. The Advanced Apprenticeship then allows you to complete an NVQ level 3, equivalent to an A level. Technical Certificate's focuses on the knowledge and understanding which underpins the NVQ competences and additional knowledge to facilitate progression to higher levels of working. Each learner completes an externally marked online test.
Please see the listed vacancies document below, or directly download.
OTC apprentices are now eligible to apply for the NUS Apprentice card which gives them unique access to a wide range of benefits and discounts in a number of shopping, entertainment stores and food outlets including Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Cineworld, Superdrug, Oasis, Coast to name a few.
The NUS Apprentice card has been launched in partnership with Group Training Association in which OTC is a member of along with 26 other providers / colleges across the country.
If you are an Apprentice with OTC you are eligible to apply for the card by logging onto: www.gta-england.co.uk
For a full list of the benefits and discounts click on the file above, please email Linda Norton at email@example.com or telephone 0161 624 5360 if you require further information.
GCSEs grade A to D in Maths
GCSEs grade A to D in English
Additional Science or I.T based GCSEs at grades A to D are desirable.

If your son or daughter is interested in starting work and they are keen to learn some skills and gain valuable qualifications, then an apprenticeship may be the right route for them.
How many times have we heard a young person say "I have my college qualifications but I can't get a job because I have no experience"……….
Apprenticeships are the solution because your son or daughter will:
· earn a salary from day one
· get paid holidays
· receive training both on and off the job
· gain qualifications leading to advancement (if desired) as far as degree level
· learn job-specific skills needed by Employers.
Employers want skills and experience – this is what an Apprenticeship provides. At OTC, your son or daughter will achieve a technical qualification and a work based qualification. The dual nature of apprenticeships means young people are able to gain a more expert grasp of their field. In addition, general education can be incorporated into apprenticeships so that gaps in literacy, numeracy and ICT skills can be filled.
Young people will often commence at an apprenticeship at the intermediate level – this lays down the building blocks for the skills and technical knowledge they will need in order to progress to an advanced level.
As part of the advanced apprenticeship programme, your son or daughter will complete level 3 qualifications. The NVQ Level 3 is the work based qualification that is completed in the workplace, documented by the employer. This is the key qualification which proves your son or daughter has developed the skills and experience employers require in today's highly competitive environment. At the end of the Apprenticeship, your son or daughter will be qualified in the sector he/she wants to work in.
Apprenticeships also build character and employability skills. As well as providing highly valuable practical learning opportunities, the exposure to the practices and expectations of a profession develops skills like team working, problem solving, decision making, motivation, using initiative and collaborating with others. In other words, apprenticeships also build the 'transferable skills' that many employers tell us are currently lacking in young adults.
OTC offer a range of apprenticeships in Engineering, Business and Administration and Customer Service. For more information, please contact us.
If your son or daughter is not ready for an apprenticeship – perhaps they did not get the GCSE grades required – then why not ask us about our Engineering Traineeships. These short programmes are stepping stones to an apprenticeship or employment.
How we work with you:
Apprenticeships are work-based learning programmes which incorporate several different qualifications into an overall framework, including Competence and Knowledge based elements to teach practical skills as well as developing knowledge and understanding of processes being used.
Our training advisors will come to your workplace, at a time agreed with you to ensure minimal disruption to your business, and your employee will attend Oldham Training Centre part-time to learn the theory underpinning their job. As an employer, you will receive regular updates on how your member of staff is progressing on their programme. Your employee will learn while working to build his or her knowledge and skills, gaining qualifications and experience. Apart from the NVQ, he or she may also complete a technical certificate and functional skill qualifications.
There are different levels of Apprenticeship available but they all lead to nationally recognised qualifications tailored to meet industry standards. Apprenticeships can now be taken at any age from 16+, meaning that they are available to all employees.
