"There is no health without mental health".
This statement from the World Health Organization emphasises how mental health involves everybody. Mental health – the way we think or feel about ourselves and what is going on around us, and how we cope with the stresses of life – affects our sense of wellbeing as well as our physical health. In this sense everyone has mental health. Good mental health is vital for learning and life. Children who are mentally healthy are better equipped to meet life's challenges. They also learn better and get on better with others. Good mental health helps children enjoy and benefit from their everyday experiences, have positive relationships with their families, friends and school staff, and contribute to their community in ways that are appropriate for their age. Good mental health in childhood provides a foundation for positive mental health and wellbeing, now and into the future. Having good mental health does not mean never having worries or feelings of distress. Everyone goes through ups and downs which can affect the way they feel and behave. Feeling worried, sad, frustrated or angry are all normal emotions. Mentally healthy children are able to use positive coping skills appropriate to their age to manage feelings and deal with difficulties. They develop helpful coping skills as part of their normal development and are not held back by emotional or behavioural problems.
Mental health difficulties
Mental health difficulties affect approximately 14 per cent, or one in seven, of Australian children. Most people will experience mental health difficulties at some point in their life, including children. It's normal to go through a period of difficulty and then improve. At these times, children will benefit from support from the important adults in their lives. But, sometimes, mental health difficulties in children can be ongoing and can interfere with many aspects of their life.
Mental health difficulties affect children's emotions and behaviour, and can cause concern for the child, parents and carers, and also the child's school. Other terms for mental health difficulties include mental health problems and emotional/behavioural problems. In some cases when difficulties are persistent and/or severe they may be diagnosed as a 'mental disorder' by a mental health professional.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety and depression are examples of common mental health difficulties in primary school-aged children. Diagnosis is based on established international criteria that define specific sets of symptoms and behaviours for each disorder. For a diagnosis to be made, the symptoms must be severe enough to cause distress and interfere with the child's ability to get on with everyday activities and enjoy life.
Because mental health difficulties can place enormous stress on children and families, professional help can be a useful aid. However, children with mental health difficulties often do not receive appropriate professional support for a number of reasons, such as parents not knowing where to go for help. One of the major aims of KidsMatter Primary is to make information about children's mental health and ways to get help available to parents, carers and school staff so that children experiencing mental health difficulties can receive appropriate treatment.
Identifying children's mental health difficulties early and providing helpful professional support can make a significant difference to children's lives. It can help to resolve mental health difficulties before they become worse, improving the quality of life for children and their families. Early recognition and effective responses are important and provides children with skills for positive coping that have lifelong benefits for their mental health and wellbeing. The earlier in life difficulties are addressed, the better chance a child has at reducing the impact on their long-term mental health and wellbeing.
What kinds of mental health difficulties do children experience?
Children's mental health difficulties are generally classified as being one of two types: 'internalising' and 'externalising'. Children with internalising difficulties show behaviours that are inhibited and over-controlled. They may have a nervous or anxious temperament and be worried, fearful and/or withdrawn. Children with externalising difficulties show behaviours that are under-controlled. They may have a more challenging temperament, shown in impulsive or reactive behaviour.
Sometimes this pattern can lead to difficulties with attention, aggression or oppositional behaviour. Externalising behaviours cause difficulties for others as well as for the children themselves. It is not uncommon for children to show behaviours associated with both internalising and externalising patterns of behaviour.
The typical features associated with each pattern are summarised below. Features associated with children's 'internalising' difficulties include:
- nervous/anxious temperament
- excessive worrying
- pessimistic thinking
- withdrawn behaviour
- peer relationship difficulties (eg can be isolated).
Features associated with children's 'externalising' difficulties include:
- challenging temperament
- reduced problem-solving skills
- attention difficulties, hyperactivity
- oppositional behaviour (eg doesn't like to be told what to do; won't follow rules)
- aggressive behaviour.
Children with ADHD often show severe externalising difficulties. Children with other serious behaviour problems also show externalising patterns of behaviour, such as persistent aggression. Children with severe internalising difficulties may be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or with depression.
Is a diagnosis necessary?
A diagnosis is a medical label that helps mental health professionals make sense of the child's symptoms. Diagnosing a child with a mental health difficulty can help to decide what treatment is needed. However, making an accurate diagnosis can sometimes be difficult. This is because children's growth and development varies from one child to another and an individual child may show some symptoms of a mental health difficulty but not others.
For families it can often be a relief to have a name for what is wrong. A diagnosis helps them to explain why their child behaves as he or she does. However, it is important to recognise that a diagnostic label merely describes a pattern of common symptoms. Even though a child may be diagnosed with a particular mental health difficulty (sometimes referred to as a disorder) it remains very important to recognise his or her strengths and meet his or her individual needs.
What causes children's mental health difficulties?
Understanding what causes children's mental health difficulties is complex. Unlike some medical conditions that have a direct cause (eg the flu is caused by a virus), mental health difficulties are considered to be caused by multiple factors that interact in different ways depending on the individual child, family and social circumstances.
The diagram below shows some of the biological, psychological and social factors that influence children's mental health. Any one of these factors can have either a positive or negative influence on a child's mental health. For example, self-esteem may be high or low, family circumstances may be positive or difficult, and both may vary at different times.
Risk and protective factors for children's mental health
One way to understand mental health in children is through risk and protective factors. A number of specific factors have been identified through research that increase the risk of children experiencing poor mental health. Other factors have been identified as having a protective effect. Protective factors act to strengthen children's mental health and wellbeing, making them less likely to develop mental health difficulties. They help to balance out the risk of developing mental health diffi culties and build resilience; the ability to cope with life's difficulties.
The diagram above shows some key examples of risk and protective factors that influence children's mental health. It is important to note that just because a child is exposed to mental health risk factors, it does not mean he or she will experience mental health difficulties. However, when multiple risk factors are present this likelihood is significantly increased. The relationship between risk and protective factors is complex. However, it is known that reducing risk factors and building protective factors in children has a positive effect on their mental health and wellbeing. KidsMatter Primary works to strengthen children's protective factors during their primary school years to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
What to expect in a mental health assessment
Whether or not a diagnosis is made, it is necessary to get an accurate picture of what the difficulties are before effective professional support can be provided. This information is gathered by conducting a mental health assessment. The mental health assessment occurs at a consultation meeting in which a mental health professional (or sometimes a team) looks into the child's difficulties, background and current needs. Sometimes more than one meeting is required. The mental health professional is likely to ask questions about the child's early history, progress and difficulties at school, and the family situation. He/she will want to know such things as:
- in what situations the problems occur
- how the child gets on with other children and family members
- whether there are learning difficulties
- the child's strengths and interests.
You may be asked to complete questionnaires that will enable your child's behaviours to be compared with others of the same age. You might be asked to keep a record of your child's behaviour for a period to help the mental health professional get an accurate picture of the extent of your child's difficulties. Recording your observations can also help you to get a clearer picture about your child's difficulties. The information you provide at the assessment meeting is considered confidential. It cannot be shared with anyone else without your permission. All of the information gathered in the assessment will help the mental health professional understand the difficulties and the way your child and family has tried to manage it up until now. Based on this understanding he or she will decide what kind of professional support will be most appropriate.
Professional support
After the assessment has been completed, the mental health professional will evaluate your child's difficulties and consider his or her strengths and needs. The mental health professional will discuss a plan for professional support with you and may recommend support (such as counselling) for:
- the child on their own
- the child in a group of children with similar difficulties
- the family as a whole
- parents and carers to help with understanding and
- managing your child's behaviours
You are entitled to ask questions too. You might like to ask:
- What is the evidence that the professional support will be useful for my child?
- What other options are available?
- How will I be involved with my child's support?
- How will I know if the professional support is working?
- How long should it take before I see an improvement?
- If my child needs medication, are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Professional support for mental health difficulties can often require learning new skills and new patterns of relating to others. This takes time. Progress should be reviewed regularly with the mental health professional or with your referring doctor to make sure the professional support is effective.
Mental health professionals who may help with children's difficulties
School psychologist/school counsellor
Talk with your child's school about the possibility of seeing the school psychologist or counsellor. School psychologists and counsellors provide assessment and support for children with mental health diffi culties. They advise parents and carers and school staff about helping individual children and may recommend specialist services outside the school.
General practitioner (GP)
Your family doctor will give advice and help you decide whether further investigation and treatment is needed. A doctor's referral is needed to be able to claim the Medicare rebate for mental health treatment from other professionals.
Other mental health professionals who can help
Paediatricians are doctors who specialise in treating children. They consider what is developmentally appropriate behaviour for children at different ages to determine if the diffi culty relates to physical or mental health.
Psychiatrists are doctors who have undertaken additional training to become specialists in mental illness.
Psychologists provide assessment and treatment for a range of mental health diffi culties. They do not prescribe medication but offer a range of other professional supports, such as counselling.
Social worker
Social workers help individuals with mental health difficulties to resolve associated psychosocial problems and improve their quality of life.
Occupational therapist
Occupational therapists are trained to assist people to overcome limitations caused by injury or illness, mental health difficulties or developmental delay.
Mental health nurse
Mental health nurses specialise in working with people experiencing mental health difficulties.

Welcome to my monthly interview feature! I'm so excited to be interviewing all the fabulous artists, illustrators and designers I've meet over the years (both personally and virtually!) and sharing their artwork and experiences here on Bird Meets Worm. Look for a new interview on the first Tuesday of every month.
This month I'm delighted to be chatting it up with the lovely Designer/Illustrator, Sara Franklin! I first came across Sara's fabulous artwork during Lilla Rogers' MATS class and was enchanted by her luminous colors and light touch. Sara Franklin is an illustrator, artist and surface pattern designer living in Los Angeles, who loves whimsy and watercolor. She spends her creative energy making artwork for greeting cards, fabric, magazines, wall art and more. You can see more of her fabulous artwork here.
|How fabulous are these boldly graphic cards?!
Q: Give us the full scoop on your sweet line of greeting cards, Paper Loop! What started it all? How did you go about the launch at the National Stationary Show? And where is it all now?
A: There were so many influences for me leading up to starting Paper Loop! It was very organic really. I remember growing up and pouring over the greeting card aisle for the perfect birthday card when I was young. I also wrote letters to my overseas relatives and spent time embellishing them with drawings. After graduating as a graphic designer, I was working full time designing music packaging and would find a way to add my illustrations to projects whenever possible. At the end of the year, my favorite project would be working on the company holiday card. I also started taking classes and learned more about painting and watercolor techniques. I remember my art teacher telling me when he saw my first watercolor painting that I should make greeting cards. I was also really inspired by some of the local card shops in LA. By then I was ready to illustrate full-time. I talked to a local shop owner that my boyfriend (now husband!) knew and we decided to debut at the National Stationery Show the following summer. I signed up for my booth and began designing. I was SO excited!
Exhibiting for the first time at the National Stationery Show was really challenging and exciting at the same time. I had never even been to a tradeshow before so it was hard to imagine what it would be like. I really just went for it! I spent the majority of my time designing the products, and designing a very basic booth design. I wanted to focus on the cards. Once we got to the show and set up, it was really great to meet with buyers and sales reps. I loved it. I always had a business side to me and this show confirmed it. Even though it was a lot of work, launching my line and exhibiting at the show was just the beginning! The real work was yet to come. My husband and I have been hard at work on this business for the past 8 years. I've created over 600 designs (I've lost count) selling exclusively in boutiques, independent bookstores, gifts shops and flower shops across in the US. You can also buy the Paper Loop collection online atwww.paper-loop.com.
|This collection is a like a breath of fresh ocean breeze!
Q: I adore your Socali beach-inspired "Sunnyside" collection with Windham Fabrics! Tell us all about how this project developed from first inspiration and contact thru to the finished product.
A: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you like the collection :-) It all started while I was taking The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design with Rachael Taylor. I was working on a geometric collection called Sunnyside using watercolors and colored pencils inspired by golden shades of yellow. It was very loose and layered. This was just the beginning for me working in watercolor patterns at the time! Then later that year I started a self-imposed project of a pattern a day for the month of January. Not long after that, Uppercase magazine was having a call for entries for surface design. I submitted some of my patterns from the pattern a day project and was one of 100 surface pattern designers featured! When Windham saw my patterns in Uppercase they contacted me for the Sunnyside collection. I expanded my watercolor prints to include the beach theme. I remember going to Santa Monica for lunch one afternoon and being so inspired by all the surroundings. I took lots of pictures and began drawing the seahorses, beach umbrellas and seaweed patterns to round out the collection. I had a lot of fun making it! I wanted it to capture the feeling of a warm beach breeze and the cool sea air.
|SO gorgeous! I love California!
Q: You create a lot of luminous editorial watercolor maps with hand-lettering. Take us thru - step by step - your approach and process for designing and illustrating a map.
A: Sure! I start by outlining the shape of the map for the background loosely in pen. Then I make a list of all the icons I need to draw. I do a bit of research on each item and go down my list drawing all the things I will need for the map. I always create more icons than I will use. I draw everything with my black Flair pen. I don't use pencil because I find that it slows me down by adding an extra step of redrawing things later. After scanning in my drawings, I will pick my favorites and arrange the black and white drawings and lettering over the map until I find a layout that I like. To add color, I will start by creating some very loose watercolor textures. I have 4 mixed media sketchbooks that I work in simultaneously. I find that this speeds up the process as I can have them out all at once and paint on all four in one sitting. While those are drying, I will print out my black and white map, then loosely go over my drawings on a blank page with colored pencils and markers. Once I have all my bits and pieces scanned in, it is just a matter of assembling the textures inside of the black and white drawings and overlaying the watercolors onto the map until I get the exact look I want. This last step is the fun part, where it all comes together. Some maps come together more quickly than others! That is the challenge! Seeing how it all works together in the end is very fun and rewarding.
|Lovely muted colors! Delightful shapes!
Q: What do you know now that when you first began your design & illustration career you wish you'd known about: art licensing? business? self-promotion?
A: Oh, wow! Where to begin? The most important thing is to enjoy what your doing. Figuring out where your art fits into the world is golden. I believe there is room for everyone and every style in this world so no one should have to compromise. You're allowed to change your mind and make mistakes. It's ok, because it's all part of how you learn! Self-promotion gets easier over time. The important part is to decide how and when you will do it, and stick to it. It's really important to try new things and diversify. Markets are constantly changing, so it's important to dip your toes in a few different ponds.
|Butterfly blue beautiful!
Q: Describe your most perfect Sunday.
A: Oh, I love Sundays!! My most perfect day would start with plenty of coffee, followed by a great yoga class. Then I would go for a nice lunch and head to the beach, go paint or find a sale and continue hoarding more art supplies! Dinner would include fancy salsa and guacamole, of course. :)
Thank you so much for catching up with us here at Bird Meets Worm, Sara! We adore your fabulous artwork and can't wait to be delighted by what you create next!

The soils underneath lawns naturally become compacted over time as lawns are walked on, played on and even driven on or ridden on by cars and kids bikes.
The affect of compacted lawn soils is that the soil granules are become so tightly squashed together that water, oxygen and nutrients can no longer flow freely within the soil and to the roots of the lawn. The roots of the lawn will also become restricted and will have a stunted growth which further impacts lawn health most severely. As the problem continues to get worse over time, the lawn will become sickly and often feeling hard under foot, eventually reaching a stage of continuing poor lawn health.
A compacted soil will not repair itself, no matter how much fertiliser, wetting agents, or organic matter we add in our lawn care practices. The only cure for soil compaction is lawn aeration.
Lawn coring is a process which uses a lawn coring machine to aerate lawn soils. As the lawn coring machine travels across the lawn, it will remove plugs of soil, lawn and thatch, and leaving the lawn filled with open holes.
After lawn core aeration is completed, the lawn and soil is then further treated to aid in it's health, it's repair, and most importantly to aid in allowing the soil to properly transfer water through it's profile. These things are done with an application of fertiliser and wetting agents directly after the lawn coring process if finished.
Some soils underneath lawns become more compacted, more quickly due to having a high clay component. These types of soils should have an application of Gypsum Clay Breaker added to the lawn directly after the coring process is completed also to aid in breaking up clay soils.
If the lawn is regularly subjected to becoming compacted, then consideration should be given to making lawn core aeration a regular part of the lawn care routines for the property. In these cases, the lawn should be cored every 1-3 years.

Where to begin? Well, baking has been my favorite part of cooking as long as I can remember. Every holiday or family get together, my name is under some sort of dessert. So when we were getting together for my Aunt and Cousin-in-law's birthday this past weekend – I was given my marching orders! A simple white chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and a raspberry sauce on the side. I searched high and low for a recipe that would live up to my expectations and was almost at my whits end when it came to me – the Cake Mix Doctor!
I'm all for making things from scratch, but when you've got a shortcut sometimes it's worth taking it. I remember first seeing the Cake Mix Doctor in one of my Mom's cookbooks and I loved the idea. You can spend the extra time decorating the cake to help with the eye appeal and still lose none of the flavor and goodness! This recipe is from her Cupcakes from the Cake Mix Doctor book, but I scaled the cooking time for a layer cake. In fact, you don't have to tell anyone this is a cake mix recipe if you don't want to. Your secret is safe with me!
You'll need:
- 6 oz/1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 package white cake mix
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

As part of the curriculum, each student takes up live projects with a company for a period of 8-10 weeks, after the completion of the first year. The summer internship is the perfect opportunity for students to apply the theoretical concepts learnt within the classrooms. It is an occasion for prospective managers to explore varied career opportunities in the areas of their interest. They get a better grasp of the important inter-linkages among different functions and develop a realistic managerial perspective on corporate workings.
The internship also has an academic component: student interns prepare a report on the assignment and present it to the organization. They are also required to share their learning with the Institute before they register for the second year. The requirement of making a formal presentation about the project to the company and to the Institute ensures that sufficient rigour and discipline are brought in to this exercise.
It is quite remarkable that GIBS, has seen its budding Managers fare exceptionally well during the internship & bagged pre placement offers from many organisations spreading his wings in the industry through its strong relationship with various Corporates the students got to do their internships under the mentorship of eminent leaders at like , TIMKEN , ITC, Nestle, Autumn Worldwide,24 Mantra Organic, Innoserve Techno sol Pvt Ltd , Mahindra, JW Marriott, Mentes Capital, Cadila- Pharmaceuticals, Swiss Arabian perfume industries, (SAPG), Stepping stone, Dalmia Cement, Parent lane, Ceaser Software, Life Cell International & Brand Factory to name a few.

Call: +44 (0) 1929 556 512
Examples of our repair workshop workmanship
This page demonstrates just what our clever workshop chaps can do - always feel free to call and ask if we can resolve your propeller problems, before you resort to buying new.
Taking a neglected Max-Prop back to 'as new' condition.
Typically when a feathering propeller is very old or has been neglected and run without grease, wear can be felt as 'looseness' in the blades. If this is minimal it is not worth doing anything about and won't cause any problems. If on the other hand it is severe, with tip play of around 5mm or more, (as in the case shown here), the propeller can be reconditioned by us to almost as new condition. As well as dealing with the wear, the propeller will routinely be cleaned, balanced and re-finished.
Watch the videos below
Before and after videos of the 'tip play' - and in its repaired state
Neglected and worn out with 5mm tip play
Excessive 'tip play' repaired and as solid as a rock!

DIY Planner Series: DIY Adult Coloring Page Planner Dividers
One of the first things I did when I made my planner was figure out how to get dividers. I got a couple with the paper calendar set I bought (and then threw away). But I only got a few, and I needed at least 12. Of course, I googled. I found a few, but they weren't super cheap like I wanted.
Thus, I decided to make some. I knew I could have made some from just some boring cardstock, but that's no fun. So I decided to make my own – with adult coloring pages.
I got really into the adult coloring a couple months ago. While means I have a zillion books. I just pulled them all out and went through them.
When choosing the pictures, try to get one that is more intricate and not an animal. I say this because most of the animal pictures are huge and you need to be able to fit the picture on an A5 size. Not that you can't, I mean I did one that is an owl, but it's just easier to use a picture with lots of flowers or random designs.
Anyways, the first thing is to cut out white rectangles for the back. Most coloring pages are thin or have a design on the back, so it is easier to just back it with white cardstock.
If you already have one small divider, I highly recommend using that as a template. That is what I did. But if not, you can always just wing it. I used my mom's paper cutter, which made my lines more straight.
Then I did the same for the coloring pages. Make sure you line it up exactly and pay attention to where the design will get cut off. Next, cut out little rectangles to make the tabs. I just totally winged this. Glue those rectangles to the back of the coloring pages and then go glue crazy over the complete back of the coloring page.
Glue that page to a piece of the white paper. Use a hole punch to make them planner perfect!
Here is an example of one of mine:
What I like about these is that they are always a work in progress. I can color them now or color them later. Do some here and there. Plus, they are super simple to make!

Tree Love
I often get asked where I got my tree from that I use for my market display. Well this shop is where I ordered it from. Although I do love my tree, being made from recycled cardboard it does have some limitations as a market display and needs to be handled with some TLC. I'm not quite sure how long it will last as it is in a need of some small repairs but hopefully with some care and some strong glue it will last a few more markets to come. It does make a great talking point at the markets and for the price it is well worth the outlay.

Bris Style Mother and Child Market Wrap Up
The BrisStyle market organisers out did themselves yet again with a wonderful market. The day before mothers day this market was the perfect way to start of a wonderful family weekend. I was lucky enough to share the day at the markets with my fantastic Mum. It was a lovely to spend the day chatting with her and watching the crowds filter through and enjoy all the colourful delight of the market. Below are a few pictures of the day, a few of my stall and some from the other great stall holders.

Why do weekends go so fast? Lots of crafting at home and a few little trips out and about. On Saturday I took myself up to the little Lifeline Bookfest at Caboolture to grab some more Golden Books for some projects for the upcoming BrisStyle Mother and Child Markets. Some lovely finds amongst the very full tables.
Sunday morning started of with a very steamy, foggy outlook. This was the picture from my back door. Which left me plenty of time to laze around before heading into the city for the Suitcase Rummage Sale in King George Square.
The day fined up beautifully and was lovely for us shoppers but the poor Suitcase sellers that had the sunny spots in King George Square were slowly melting. There was a great mix of vintage and handmade on offer. I pulled all the muscles in my hip during the week which made the whole bending down and rummaging a little difficult but it was still heaps of fun.
I met the lovely Holly from Pannikin. Her suitcase was full of so much lovely handmade goodness. I was able to get some of the cutest badges ever from Holly to add to Cait's collection. I was also trying to be very good and not spend much money (due to this debacle) but a dress handmade from vintage fabric nearly got the better of me. Lucky for my hip pocket the dress was gone by the time I made my mind up. Below are a few snaps of the day.

Long Weekends Are For....
Well I know this long weekend should be for cleaning out a very messy garage, sorting through Moo's room or maybe at a stretch organising the pantry. But no this weekend is for sewing for the BrisStyle Indie Mother & Child Market that is on the 8th of May. The timing is perfect for the Market as it is being held the day before Mother's Day, which makes Mother's Day shopping easy peasy. I'm sure there will be plenty of goodies there that will please the most difficult to buy for Mum (or even the fussy Mother in Law).
This Market has been a lovely incentive to expand my range. Not only will I have lots of purses I have also been working on a range of baby blankets. They are all made will 100% linen, hand screen printed textiles and backed with a beautiful soft hemp and organic cotton fleece.
The kitchen chair piled with the weekends projects.
The above blanket has the most beautiful light steel grey/blue linen. It is a lovely change from the pastel blues for boys.
I love, love, love how this blanket came together. I so wish I had a blanket like this for my girls when they were little. The soft pink in the screen print, the natural linen and the cream of the fleece go so beautifully together. The floral design has made quite a contemporary modern baby's blanket.

14 Sleeps to Go
Well its 14 sleeps to go or so I'm told until Easter. Not that we are really into the whole Easter commercialism side of things but we do enjoy just a little chocolate indulgence. This year I've finally gotten around to some crafty Easter preps - making fabric Easter Baskets. The pattern is from the "Kidlet Wall Pocket Tidy Tote" by JCasa Handmade. I've made a few of these before for the girls to hang on their doors and on the ends of their beds to keep all the small bits and bobs under control. They have come up really well as Easter Baskets. The best thing is they will be able to use them through out the year too.
The cute fabric on the front is the Eggshells Fabric by Aunty Cookie.

The above is the sum total of my very lazy weekend crafty pursuits. I really should be much more organised as the next BrisStyle market is on its way in the beginning of March. I am happy though to find some craftiness I can do while lazing around with the girls on a Sunday watching movies and eating loads of popcorn and the likes. These hearts are for the next BIDM so if you wish to see them in their finished form you might just have to pop along to St Augustines on the 6th of March.

EVERTON BAILEY, PLAINTIFF,v.C.O. M. FORTIER, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: David E. Peebles U.S. Magistrate Judge
Plaintiff Everton Bailey, a federal prison inmate who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis , has commenced this Bivens*fn1 action against a corrections officer stationed at the facility in which he was housed at the relevant times, alleging deprivation of his civil rights. In his complaint, Bailey alleges that the defendant failed to protect him from an assault by a cellmate despite prior complaints expressing fear for his safety. As relief, plaintiff's complaint seeks $1 million compensatory damages, as well as punitive damages in the additional sum of $50,000.
Currently pending before the court in connection with the action are two separate motions. In response to plaintiff's complaint defendant has moved for either dismissal of his claims for failure to state a cause of action or, alternatively, for summary judgment, arguing that they are procedurally barred based upon his failure to exhaust available administrative remedies. In addition to opposing that motion plaintiff has moved for leave to amend his complaint, seeking to add the prison facility itself as a named defendant in the case.
Having carefully considered defendant's motion, which has been treated as one for summary judgment, I recommend that it be denied based upon my finding that material issues of fact preclude resolution of the exhaustion defense at this procedural juncture. I also recommend that plaintiff's motion for leave to amend be denied as futile, since in his amendment plaintiff seeks to add as a defendant a party that is not amenable to suit.
I. BACKGROUND*fn2
Plaintiff is a federal prison inmate within the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") as a result of a 2007 criminal conviction entered in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. See generally Plaintiff's Complaint (Dkt. No. 1); see also VanWeelden Decl. (Dkt. No. 4) ¶ 5. While he is presently housed in another BOP facility, at the times relevant to his claims Bailey was designated by the BOP to the Ray Brook Federal Correctional Institution ("FCI Ray Brook"), located in Ray Brook, New York. Id.
On the morning of February 23, 2009, while housed in a six person cell in the Mohawk Housing Unit at FCI Ray Brook, plaintiff was assaulted by one of his cellmates after being accused of stealing that inmate's prayer oil . Complaint (Dkt. No. 1) ¶¶ 8-9; see also VanWeelden Decl. (Dkt. No. 10-4) Exh. D. Plaintiff reported the incident to defendant Fortier, a corrections officer at the facility, and requested that he be moved to another cell. Complaint (Dkt. No. 1) ¶ at 10. The request was denied, and plaintiff was directed by Corrections Officer Fortier to return to his cell for inmate count. Id . at ¶ 11.
Following the inmate count, plaintiff again was accosted by the same inmate, who on this occasion threw hot oil from a ceramic mug onto plaintiff's face. Complaint (Dkt. No. 1) ¶ 13; VanWeelden Decl. (Dkt. No. 10-4) Exh. D. As a result of the incident plaintiff suffered second degree burns to his face, requiring hospitalization at an outside medical facility for extensive treatment. Complaint (Dkt. No. 1) ¶¶ 13-14. According to the plaintiff, there were no corrections officers present in his cell unit at the time of the assault. Id.
Plaintiff commenced this action on June 29, 2009. Dkt. No. 1. Plaintiff's complaint identifies Corrections Officer M. Fortier as the sole named defendant and asserts claims against her based upon the failure to protect him from known harm. Id .
On January 8, 2010, prior to answering, defendant moved to dismiss plaintiff's complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or, alternatively, for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 56. Dkt. No. 10. The sole basis for defendant's motion is her contention that plaintiff is precluded from pursuit of his claim based upon his failure to exhaust available administrative remedies before commencing suit, as required under 42 U.S.C. § 1997(e)(a). Defendant's motion was met, on January 27, 2010, with a response in opposition from the plaintiff, as well as a separate motion for leave to amend his complaint to add FCI Ray Brook as a named defendant. Dkt. Nos. 11, 12. Defendant has since submitted papers opposing plaintiff's motion for leave to amend, Dkt. No. 13, and additionally has filed a reply in response to plaintiff's opposition to the original motion and in further support of that application. Dkt. No. 16.
The parties' motions, which are now fully briefed and ripe for determination, have been referred to me for the issuance of a report and recommendation, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Northern District of New York Local Rule 72.3(c). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
A. Standards of Review
1. Motions to Dismiss
A motion to dismiss a complaint, brought pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, calls upon a court to gauge the facial sufficiency of that pleading, utilizing as a backdrop a pleading standard which, though unexacting in its requirements, "demands more than an unadorned, the-defendant-unlawfully-harmed me accusation" in order to withstand scrutiny. Ashcroft v. Iqbal , ___ U.S. ___, ___, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009) (citing Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly , 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1965 (2007)). Rule 8(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires that a complaint contain "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). While modest in its requirement, that rule commands that a complaint contain more than mere legal conclusions; "[w]hile legal conclusions can provide the framework of a complaint, they must be supported by factual allegations." Ashcroft, 129 S.Ct. at 1950.
To withstand a motion to dismiss, a complaint must plead sufficient facts which, when accepted as true, state a claim which is plausible on its face. Ruotolo v. City of New York , 514 F.3d 184, 188 (2d Cir. 2008) (citing Twombly , 550 U.S. at 570, 127 S.Ct. at 1974). As the Second Circuit has observed, "[w]hile Twombly does not require heightened fact pleading of specifics, it does require enough facts to 'nudge [plaintiffs'] claims across the line from conceivable to ...

MARCELLO C Hydrox (a dive watch with a deadly name)
By TLex After extensive design studies and numerous prototypes here is the final iteration of the new MARCELLO C HYDROX. The 300m HYDROX takes its name from the gas mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen that is breathed by deep sea divers. This mixture allows them to descend to great depths. Hydrox, which is highly explosive, can be a further hazard to the diver as the presence of Hydrogen in the mixture has a narcotic effect, which can cause Hydrogen Narcosis, which in turn can cause confusion, disorientation and hallucinations making Hydrox potentially lethal to work with; still wanna be a deep sea diver?
The HYDROX watch with its contemporary aesthetic is a far safer option than its namesake, that's not to say that its design elements are in anyway staid far from it Marcello C. have developed a very nice looking watch with a bold dial layout and striking handset, albeit not too dissimilar from those of the latest Aquatimers. The bracelet with its push button clasp a further indication of the extent to which Marcello C. took the development of their new dive watch; it looks superb!

If you are one of those users who takes a lot of screenshots either for teaching purposes or just for keeping records of whatever you did on your machine, you might eventually find your desktop cluttered with a number of screenshots scattered here and there. Unless you individually check out those screenshots and delete the ones you don't need, your desktop will remain cluttered. The default location for saving your screenshot when using the screen capture shortcut key (Cmd + Shift + 3) is the Desktop. What if there was a way you could place your screenshots somewhere else on your Mac instead of the desktop?
Although your Mac comes configured to put all the screenshots on the desktop, you can modify the settings and have your screenshots placed somewhere else so that there will be less clutter on your desktop. However, you will need to dabble with the Terminal to get things done. Here's how you can do that:
1. The first step is to decide where you want to save the screenshots. You can create a folder anywhere on your Mac for that purpose, and you can then use it to store the screenshots that you capture on your Mac.
In the example below, I have created a folder called "New Screenshots" in the "Documents" directory on my Mac. I will use it to store my screenshots.
2. Fire up Terminal on your Mac. To do that, click on Launchpad in your dock, search for and click on Terminal, and it will launch for you.
3. When Terminal launches, enter the following command. Hit space after "location," and then drag and drop the screenshot folder you created earlier onto the Terminal window. It will put in the full path to the screenshot folder in the Terminal Window so that you don't have to type it manually.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location
When you have dropped in the screenshot folder, the full command will look like this:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/Mahesh/Documents/Screenshots/New\ Screenshots
Hit Enter and let Terminal do its magic.
Once the above command has done its thing, enter the following command into Terminal and hit Enter. It will reset the UI on your machine so that it recognizes the changes you just made.
killall SystemUIServer
You are all set.
Now, try capturing a screenshot using "Cmd + Shift + 3," and you should see that it's being saved to the folder you chose above instead of your desktop. Your job is done.
Changing the Screenshot Save Folder Back to Desktop
If you ever wish to change the folder to back to the desktop, you can do so using the following steps.
Launch Terminal on your Mac.
Type in the following command and press Enter. Make sure to replace "Mahesh" with your own username on your Mac.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/Mahesh/Desktop/
In order for your Mac to recognize the changes, simply issue the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
And you are all done.
The default save folder for your screenshots is your desktop now.
Assigning a particular space of your Mac for a specific file is a good idea to keep things organized. The above solution should help you change the screenshots folder so you can save them wherever you want instead of your desktop. That way they will be saved in the folder you want and you will have less clutter on your desktop.

|Belmont Castle in Newport, Rhode Island is said to have a high rate paranormal activity
Three years after Belmont Castle was built, Oliver married Alva Vanderbilt. After Oliver died in 1908, she played a huge part in the Women's Suffrage Movement and is well remembered for her generosity. She retired to France and died there in 1933. Belmont Castle remained in the hands of their son's until it was sold to the Tinney family in 1940.
Over the years there have been many reports of the suits of armor moving about on their own. Sometimes drastically. While the armor would be on display in one place, the next day it would be found in another. Some claim to have heard moaning sounds coming from the suits of armor. In another part of the castle, there is a statue of a monk that supposedly moves on it's own as well.
|Many say that these suits of armor take on a life of their own at Belmont Castle in Newport, Rhode Island
Another mysterious happening in the castle seems to be centered around what are called the Salt Chairs. Named such because in medieval times salt as stored within the seats and given to visiting nobles as it was a valuable token to be given at the time. It seems that these "salt" chairs do not want to be sat upon. Individuals attempting to do so seem to meet some sort of resistance. People have actually been thrown from the chairs attempting to sit in them.
|The exquisite interior of Belmont Castle in Newport, Rhode Island is a playground for spirits who haunt the castle
Within Belmont Castle there is also a mirror that is said to be haunted as well. You cannot see your reflection in it! When visitors look into it, only vague shapes can be seen moving back and forth as if they were ghosts.
Perhaps these strange events that take place in Belmont Castle are really the spirits of Oliver and Alva Belmont. It could be that they do not want to leave their summer home and this is how they remain a part of it forever.
Belmont Castle is still owned by members of the Tinney family. It was converted into a museum and is open for regular tours as well as ghost tours. The castle is located at 657 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island. The phone number is 401-846-0669. More information as well as tour schedules and hours of operation can be found on the Belcourt Castle web site http://www.belcourtcastle.com.

In a historic moment for both Li Na and Chinese tennis, the world No. 4 player claimed her second Grand Slam title in Melbourne on Saturday. It's a defining and encouraging win for Li, who has continued to set new, higher goals for herself on the court.
Li has already defied the rules and stereotypes of tennis, becoming the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam and the highest-ranked Chinese female player ever. Now, with a victory in the year's first Grand Slam, she is inspiring a new generation of Chinese athletes with a new Nike campaign: "Dare to aim higher than the sky."
"'Dare to aim higher than the sky' means daring to set higher expectations for myself," Li said. "I believe where there is determination, there will be self-transcendence. Dare to make a breakthrough and dare to challenge all is my call for our young generation. Self-transcendence is success."
Nike had a T-shirt printed with this message ready for Li Na to wear at post-match events. The message was also seen on Nike's social channels and will be on the front pages of newspapers throughout China, including in Li Na's hometown of WuHan.
Nike has worked with Li Na since 1997 and is proud to provide Li Na the most innovative apparel on the court. In Melbourne, Li wore the Nike Pure Short Sleeve Top, which featured her signature neckline for a nonrestrictive fit and cap sleeves to enable a wider range of motion. Li's Nike Unlined Woven Skirt and Solid Ball Short delivered supportive on-court performance along with a stylish look.
Nike also provides functional, stylish and comfortable products for Li's daily training and active lifestyle. NIKE Free TR 4, Nike PRO Seamless Hyperwarm Hoody and Nike Women's Training Tight equipped Li to achieve her goals in training and helped her release her power on the court. Nike Tech Pack Jacket offers lightweight style and natural motion for Li Na in her daily life.

The Cold War was a state of political and military tension after World War II between powers in the Western Bloc (the United States, its NATO allies and others) and powers in the Eastern Bloc (the Soviet Union and its allies in the Warsaw Pact). However, neither side realized that a large portion of their respective actions were orchestrated by the terrorist group HYDRA, which was thought to have been disbanded at the end of World War II. This clandestine manipulation by the resurgent HYDRA fed many crises and led to global unrest; part of their grand plan to seize power.
- "I know it's strictly "need-to-know", but since you're a wanted man and I could end up going it alone-what does Verliecki have that's so valuable?
"Full dossiers of twelve of twelve undercover CIA operatives in the Soviet territories."
"That could be worth millions to the Soviets..."
"And if they get them, the ops die. And this Cold War heats up real fast."
- ―Escobar and Nick Fury
The Cold War began in 1947 during post-war tensions between the United States of America and the Soviet Union, with both sides' allies in between.[1]
Stark Industries was involved in developing weapons for the United States Armed Forces during the Cold War.[2] A fake town was built during the 1940s in the Mojave Desert to serve as a nuclear test site but was abandoned when the war ended.[3]
What the Americans did not know was that the terrorist organization HYDRA, thought to be disbanded shortly before the end of World War II, were still active within the Soviet Union and were responsible for many crises of the Cold War, including the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of U.S President John F. Kennedy in 1963[4][5], the rise to power of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the early 1980s recession, and many other incidents. HYDRA's best assassin, the Winter Soldier, was sent by the Soviet Union to eliminate many people who posed a threat to HYDRA's plans.[4]
The American counterintelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D., that was infiltrated and controlled by HYDRA since its founding, was active during the war.[6]
During the last years of the Cold War, Nick Fury was sent on a mission to Budapest. He encountered a person named Vinorovsky, who was deported some months earlier when he tried to sell bad information. Fury's partner Escobar asked what Verliecki had that was so valuable, and Fury said full dossiers of 12 undercover CIA operatives in Soviet territories.[1]
Fury met with Comrade Verliecki. Inside the apartment, Fury was attacked, but Verliecki was quickly defeated. Suddenly, Escobar pointed his gun at Fury and ordered him to hand over the case they found in the apartment. He told Fury to not take it personally, as it had nothing to do with him, but for the end of the Cold War. Fury attacked and defeated him, then Verliecki knocked Escobar out. Verliecki told Fury to take the case as he filled it with cigars for him, as it been a long time since they sparred. Verliecki asked Fury if he was okay, and Fury simply replied that he could not hurt him if he tried; Verliecki said that he tried. Fury left and called Timothy Dugan who asked Escobar's status; Fury stated that he flipped. With him gone, Dugan stated that it was time to celebrate. Fury told him not to start without him, as he was bringing cigars.[1]
When a group or radicals in East Berlin obtained a piece of HYDRA technology and attempted to reverse-engineer it, Doctor Hank Pym was sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to ruin their plans. After he did successfully, he decided to do more field work for them in his Ant-Man Suit.[7] However, his wife, Janet van Dyne, was apparently killed during a mission with him to intercept and disable a Soviet ICBM.[8]
The Cold War ended in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[4]

After 9/11 author Neil Strauss got a little paranoid and in
Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life you get a front row seat on his journey to preparedness. You'll get an autobiographical description of his efforts to secure a second passport and take courses in guns, knives, hunting, fishing, tracking, motorcycles, CERT training, CPR and first aid, urban survival, emergency management, and EMT. As a reader you won't actually learn any of these skills as this is not a how to book.
The driving force behind all of this is his belief that WTSHTF (when the shit hits the fan) that society will break down and it will be every man for himself. This is why the author spends over a year of his life adding skills and experience just in case the worst happens.
The interesting part of this journey is that the author doesn't quite end up in the same place he envisioned when he started. Case in point when he started taking courses on emergency management and EMT he was doing it so he could use his uniform and knowledge to "bug out" easier WTSHTF. However, what he found out is that he liked being part of something when disaster struck.
That is the message I'm taking from the book. When bad things happen it is better to pull together as a community rather than degenerating into every man for himself.

fix a script
Budget $30-100 USD
I have a script that had been running very well, but has started to give me error messages, and has stopped running smoothly. This script compiles data from 3 different websites, and stores the data in access, and then i filter the information according to my specifications and i receive various excel spreadsheet results. I believe that the reason i am getting the error messages is because the layout of one of the websites seems to be different, but i am unsure. I have the script.
