About Us » Special Educational Needs & Disability
One of the changes brought about by the 2014 Code of Practice was that children and young people with SEND and their families should be central to identification, assessment and planning. This means that it is vital that parents know what they can reasonably expect from their school and local authority without having to fight for it. The outcome of this is that local authorities and other services will set out a local offer of all services available to support children who are disabled or who have SEN and their families. The offer will include provision from birth to 25, across education, health and social care.
This will mean that:
This will mean that:
- Parents will have a greater level of confidence and understanding of the processes involved.
- Earlier identification of children with SEND will be enabled.
- There will be a reduction in the need for assessment.
- Gaps in provision and need will be identified.
- There will be an evidence base for improving progress and securing better outcomes, at school and local level.

Researchers from the Catholic University of Korea recently report on the connection between vitamin D, parathyroid hormone and bone mineral density in elderly Koreans.
The research group, led by Dr Guilsun Kim, measured the vitamin D levels and parathyroid hormone levels of over 1000 Koreans over the age 50, as well as their bone density in their spine and femur.
People with high parathyroid hormone levels have increased bone turnover, increased bone loss and increased risk of fragility fracture. High vitamin D levels, on the other hand, help keep parathyroid hormone levels low, highlighting the importance of vitamin D for bone health.
The research group wanted to look at this specific relationship in a Korean population of elderly men and postmenopausal women.
They found that parathyroid hormone levels were highest when subjects had vitamin D levels below 15 ng/ml and lowest when vitamin D levels were above 30 ng/ml.
They also noticed that the femur bone was denser in both women and men who had high vitamin D levels, although they did not notice a statistically significant association with vitamin D levels and spine bone density. Generally, the researchers found that subjects had better bone density with vitamin D levels above 30 ng/ml compared to levels below 30 ng/ml, though there were not enough subjects to make this statistically significant.
The researchers advised that vitamin D levels and parathyroid hormone levels be measured in the elderly and that a higher vitamin D level can offset high parathyroid levels.

I have a 4 year old and a 9 month old so I definitely have some fun things to write about but the problem is going to be finding the time to do it!
Anyways, I am having some issues making my blog page pretty! I will admit, I can be a computer idiot sometimes but for the time being I have too much pride to ask my husband for help so maybe someone on here can lend a helping hand...all I want is a cute page...is that too much to ask???? Any advice would be much appreciated!
Anyone want to see a pic of my two cuties?? Well I will post one if I can figure it out but if there isn't one on here, sorry...I may need help with that too! The big one is Kiley and the itty bitty one is Lily, they are the most precious things to me!

Let's see if I can sum up my thoughts about this book with some clarity...
The writing is good; I liked the general tone and pace.
I was thinking I'd be reading a novel when I saw this at the library, and I thought it would have fairy-tale aspects. The blurb that got me to check it out was "From a prizewinning young writer, a brilliant and inventive story of love, lies, and inspiration." I didn't read much farther than that, because I like to go into works of fiction knowing as little about the plot. as possible. But this isn't really a novel so much as a bunch of short stories and narrative explorations--in other words, plot is not really important, and is barely even present most of the time.
I gave it three stars but it may very well deserve more. I didn't "like" it as much as I found it intriguing. I wasn't really looking for, or ready for, this type of book at the moment--I've got a bunch of things going on at the moment, from planning fundraisers to running a business to large upcoming group presentation, to schoolwork. I just wanted something to unwind with. I opted for fiction this time around because I wanted something sort of light, or charming, or a good story. Those are not really the strengths of this particular work of fiction. So unfortunately it didn't meet my needs/expectations for picking up a book in the first place and my rating has got to partially reflect that. But it is a very interesting work, and it's well written. I would be willing to give it another go--like maybe during winter break or something, when I actual have the mental energy to devote to appreciating what this book DOES have to offer. I did very much enjoy(?), for instance, the examination of (fictionalized & real) violence against women. I didn't really like the abundance of unhealthy relationships and how happiness is pegged as "boring." Speak for yourself, lady. My happy contentedness & I are having a blast over here and I can't remember the last time I was ever bored--it must've been years and years ago if such a time ever existed for me.
Anyway, if you like experimental fiction, magical realism, some confusing and/or mind-bending-esque stuff, I'd recommend it. I can definitely see some people being pissed at spending time on a book like this, and I can see some just loving it. I wish I'd known that it was more along the lines of intertwined choppy kind of short stories; as it was it sort of annoyed me, but I can see myself really having a much better impression of it if I had read it at a different time of year, or just when I had less stuff to do, more attention to spend.

Creating an Outdoor Sanctuary by Cathy Coker Martin
November 2005 Issue – Title: Outdoor Rooms, The Hottest Trend in Home Design by Cathy Coker Martin
As a little girl I remember spending hours in my grandmother's backyard swing. Daddy built an amazing treehouse for us in the big oak tree behind our house, complete with a zip line. (Truth be told, I was afraid to go down it unless daddy was holding on to me from the ground below.) My mom planted tiny sapling trees in our backyard that today have grown so tall it's hard to believe that they are the same little saplings. They add such beauty, charm, and of course, shade guiding your eye in and out of the path they carve out of the landscape. When my parents installed the fountain outside the breakfast room window I suddenly realized how mesmerizing the sound of falling water was and knew that someday I would have to have a fountain in a yard of my own.
In one way or another each of the outdoor additions described above is in some way a type of what we now consider "Outdoor Art". Creating an outdoor oasis that becomes an extension of your home and, a place that gives pleasure to you and your family, is key to a successful outdoor environment. Enhancing your outdoor area, whether on a grand scale, or small scale, there are no hard and fast rules of right or wrong. It's what makes you smile. It's where you feel relaxed and happy to be there. This can be a wonderful journey of discovery where you can experiment with new ideas and enjoy the process of creating a personal expression of your desires and pleasures.
With spring and summer fast approaching, this is a perfect time to start planning or adding to your outdoor environment. Outdoor art is very "in" right now. What was once a couple of folding lawn chairs and pink flamingos, is now an entire industry devoted to outdoor furniture and accessories. As far as furniture the choices range from wood, to wrought iron, cast aluminum and cast stone, just to mention a few. There is even a weatherproof wicker collection on the market now.
Cast stone furnishings are probably the newest rage. (Fred and Wilma Flintsone were actually ahead of their time.) You can find stone benches, stone lounges, stone tables, stone garden seats, and even stone chairs. You can even design your own furnishings out of stone, that is, if you know the right people of course,….hello, are you paying attention? Just checking!
Ok, continuing with the "stone" theme, some of the other very popular outdoor objects'de art are of course fountains, fountains and more fountains. You really are not in the groove if you do not have some sort of water feature. It can be as simple as a table top fountain, or more elaborate such as a free standing, tiered fountain, all the way to an entire sheet of water trickling down a twenty foot wall, to soothe your senses and take you away from the stresses of the day. I have a three-tiered stone fountain on my patio that serves not only to enhance the outdoor experience, but also is strategically placed next to a screened window off of my family room. During months when it is too cold or hot outside, I can open the window just enough to hear the sound of the water falling while being in the comfort of my air-conditioned or heated home.
No yard is complete without at least some planters, with greenery and seasonal flowers cascading in abundance. Planters and urns come in a multitude of sizes and material as well. You can have small planters or ones large enough for a small person to stand inside depending on what your space will allow. This is an easy way to add color and texture to any outdoor environment at relatively minimal cost.
Other ways to add color and an artistic flare to your outdoor space are with one or more of the decorative trellises, arbors, or arches available. I have three trellises along one section of my fence for my climbing roses. I have also incorporated two arches in my outdoor environment for climbing vines. One arch is visible from my breakfast room window with a small wall fountain nestled under it. The flowering vine growing up and over the arch is natural art at its best, and the sound of the wall fountain during morning coffee is just the perfect addition to an "oh what a beautiful morning" for me.
If you're looking to add a little romance or whimsy to your outdoor area, statues are a great way to achieve this. Again, you can go as small or as large as you have room for. There are statues to suit any taste. I, being a complete romanticist, love cherubs, and have invested in a couple of accent statues to embellish my outdoor oasis. The contrast and serenity of the ivy and other climbing vines against the little stone cherubs always makes me smile.
There are endless suggestions for outdoor adornment. Colorful and decorative welcome mats, bird feeders, gazebos, bird baths, hanging wall art of numerous materials and styles, decorative address markers, gazing balls, and, decorative holders for garden hoses can even become an aristic addition to your outdoor environment. It goes without saying that one of the number one outdoor additions, which I consider an artistic expression, is an outdoor fireplace/pit/chimenea. I personally couldn't live without my cozy chimenea.
Last, but not least, I have to mention the ever popular and sometimes overlooked stepping-stone. Stepping stones beckon you to find out where they will lead you. So simple, but if placed just right, they can lead you on an unforgettable journey, to paths of beauty, tranquility and peace in your own outdoor sanctuary.

I've seen this argument a lot in cases where we're talking about transit. Paul Burka over at Texas Monthly has written the latest:
I get it now. This is a real estate play. Freeways have changed cities in ways that are less than desirable. They cut off neighborhoods from the rest of the city. They are business-unfriendly, because they move traffic past commercial areas. And, of course, they contribute to sprawl and pollution. Rail changes cities in ways that are desirable. They combat sprawl by concentrating development around rail stations. The provide an opportunity for redeveloping deteriorating residential and commercial areas and adding value to the tax rolls. Freeways are better at moving people. Rail is better at moving civic values. This is why the business community in North Texas has thrown all of its weight behind this bill, and this is why it is going to pass, and Governor Perry is going to let it become law. It's the oldest of power principles: Let the big dog eat.
But if Austin ever gets to vote on such a plan, I'll never vote to let my gas tax money be used for rail.
What an abrupt change. He rattles of a list of benefits and then says he'll never let his money go towards it. I see these sort of "arguments" all the time. My mother is a big proponent of them. It's the "even though you and your friends want to take transit and this will make my experience driving better because you're off the road, I'm going to vote against it on the off chance that this will eventually lead to me having to take transit" argument.
It's amazing the phsycology of the human brain. And so hard to fight against these really base arguments. They seem to be ingrained at a really deep level that logic can't touch.

Once a Year Blog Maintenance–Are You Up to Date?
This week, I'm providing tips for end-of-year technology maintenance. Sure, you should do it once a month if you're active on your computer, but AT LEAST do it yearly.
Like today.
For most writers I know, life zooms by with few breaks to pause, glance around at the surroundings and clean up the clutter and confusion that grows like mold from our everyday authorial life. The end of the calendar year is a good time to do that, when many of us are blogging less, posting almost nothing, and have less commitments and obligations to fill our usual week.
Here's my short list–one I hope is do-able during the Holidays:
- Update my profile. Have I changed my focus? Changed jobs? Adding new pieces readers would like to know about? This, btw, should be done regularly, but at the new year–it's critical.
- Check old posts for grammar and spelling. I start with the most-visited articles (under Site Stats) and work my way down (in case I run out of time). I'm always surprised what I catch with a fresh eye.
- Check individual post tags and categories to see if I can whittle down the options while still clearly cataloging my writing. Sometimes, I haven't even added a category–fix all those, too.
- Check sidebar for out-of-date and no-longer-relevant widgets and links. Add new pieces (like awards and links) that add to the blog's utility. Move pieces around to give a fresh look.
- Check list of 'pages'. Sure, I'm on top of the Home page, but are the others still relevant? Up to date? Like my WIP page? Hmm…
- Check appearance on a smart phone and iPad to see if they require adjustments to display better. I recently switched my blog theme (you probably noticed) to respond to the fact that so many people read blogs on iPads and smartphones now, rather than desktops and laptops.
- Check blog in different browsers to see if I should recommend one over the other for best-viewing.
That's it from my end. Do you have any maintenance issues you suggest for the new year? I'd love to hear them.

4 cups bread flour
Basic Sponge (at room temperature) (recipe below)
1¼ cups warm water (100-110 degrees)
2 teaspoons nonfat dry milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 package dry yeast (about 2¼ teaspoons)
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 tablespoons bread flour
Lightly spoon 4 cups flour into dry measuring cups, and level with knife. Combine with Basic Sponge, warm water, nonfat dry milk, salt and yeast in a food processor or mixer bowl. Process until the dough forms a ball. Process an additional minute.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface (dough will be sticky and soft), divide dough in half. Working with one portion of dough (cover the remaining portion to keep from drying out), roll each portion into a 12×6-inch rectangle. Place dough on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Taper the ends to resemble a "slipper" shape. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of flour over the loaves. Cover and let rise until double in size (about 30 minutes). (Press two fingers into dough, if indention remains, the dough has risen enough). Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Uncover the dough. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden bread (loaves should sound hollow when tapped). Remove the Ciabatta from the pan and cool on rack. Yields 2 loaves.
This bread freezes well, so you can eat one and keep the other for later. This is one of our favorite dipping breads. We place herb flavored, virgin olive oil in a plate, drizzle with balsamic reduction, and sprinkle with roasted garlic. Delicious!!

IBM has integrated Enigma's 3C Platform into its Automotive Dealer Collaboration portal, the two companies announced Monday, and both plan to jointly market the product to automotive OEMs.
Enigma provides auto mechanics with a dynamic product encyclopedia consisting of integrated service information and parts catalogs, which will be delivered using portlets developed on IBM's WebSphere Portal technology.
IBM's Automotive Dealer Collaboration offering, with Enigma's portlets, is designed to strengthen postsales relationships between OEMs and dealers by automating communications and providing service and repair information. The goal is to help dealerships improve customer service while boosting revenue for the manufacturers, the companies said.
Enigma's four new portlets allow companies using the IBM Dealer Collaboration Portal to easily search, filter and display parts and service information. In addition, the portlets can help users leverage existing IT investments by tying into other portlets in the IBM Dealer Collaboration Portal.
Advanced features allow companies to use their existing IT systems to improve visibility into parts supplies and enhance their overall parts logistics.

"Flirty Fishing", "prostituting for Jesus", eh?ReplyDelete
This reminded me, it's irrelevant. In 90s we had sects on the rise
in Russia and I was such a wide-eyed thing they approached me many times.
Normally you can recognize them - face expression, eyes, fashions - typical,
starting with "Do you believe in God?" and it normally took me less
than 1 minute to get rid of them. But there was some other sect, they
targeted youth exactly with "flirty fishing" tactics.
On some big summer open-air event, where thousands of teens
and youngsters gathered, there were groups of them, picking their prey
by...wide-eyed dreamer look? Sad "I need reason to live" look?
Anyway, groups like 2 young men - 2 young ladies, well dressed, with
cool hairstyles, with normal expressions, attractive. They decided which
one will be approaching the prey and for me they sent that adorable young
lady. The girl was pretty, very pretty. And she approached me in a
casual way, friendly, not starting with "Do you believe in.." stuff,
it was like she liked me and wanted to make friends. I realized they are sect
but gave her my phone number, because I was such a fool and she was
so pretty and friendly! Later at home figured out no way I can separate
her from the sect and she gave up after calling me several times, as all
she wanted was to lure me into sect gathering/book
reading/meeting/brainwashing attack/whatever they call it.
But I can see why and how people joined them. Someone desperate
and lonely would be happy to join such good-looking bunch, where poor
victim will be embraced with fake love and compassion at first, and
later it will be too late to leave as threats pop-up.
..don't you think that "show business" is one giant sect. Hollywood
is like a big sect, that's how I feel about it.
I worry about Lindsay, it shocked me that "morgue" thing.
What saddens me is that people I know cheered these news, in
"she deserved that!" manner. Why are we so cruel :(
Gloria's book. It's so hard to trust anyone! As always, something is truth
in her book, something is not. But what is truth?
If we assume autopsy was real and accurate {not too accurate!} than
yes, nothing but "irregular pigmentation" on his head, no scars.
If the burn was healed back then, oh my. How many lies!
Hi Anonymous -ReplyDelete
This sect actually grew worldwide. They weren't saturated but they were in various countries. I'm sure they weren't the only cult over there in Russia either. Another one was the Finders,which was run by CIA under the radar. There was evidence that these two "cults" may have crossed paths since the Finders came to public knowledge when a group of men were caught trying to take children that didn't belong to them over the border to South America. I'm working on this now.
People cheered Lindsey's sentence, they cheered Paris Hilton's jail time, Nicole Richie's and the people that should be going to jail for MUCH WORSE CRIMES are not.
I've stated my views on here before about that autopsy. If they can't even get his middle name right, how worthy is the paper it's written on?
That story about the scar shocked me but I am HAPPY if that is the truth. I'm trying to determine, of all the things she COULD HAVE lied about, why would she lie about that? There were possible embellishments in the book, but that one piece of information I believe.

@BONNIE : Your Corey Feldman's story Video was also related in German & Swiss news yesterday, so it means the C. Feldman's news are all over the world anyway. An encouraging beginning but names & convictions of the Hollywood monsters should also follow one day, hoping that Corey Feldman is anyhow protected.ReplyDelete

@BONNIE : A hoax OK..I prefer that. I am quite naive ..& the world is sick to the core !ReplyDelete
I never did believe that Michael was still undergoing reconstructive surgery on his scar in 1993. I believe you'd only need surgery for that period of time for facial reconstruction, or a very serious large burn. I'm thinking maybe, like Elvis, Michael was signed up to more concerts than he could cope with, giving them the opportunity to feed him painkillers. I am wondering if the same thing happened with This Is It.
Thank you Line!ReplyDelete
"Ex-child star Corey Feldman unpacks: Sexual abuse is the norm in Hollywood, he said. After the death of his friend, Corey Haim, he now wants to come out two perpetrators."
Well, at least now I know why he is in "London". God please protect him. I will be posting the rest of the article tonight in English. Thank you so much, Line!!! ♥♥♥ God bless you for posting that. Everybody please pray for his protection and for his family and his little son!
Line said - "A hoax OK..I prefer that. I am quite naive ..& the world is sick to the core !"ReplyDelete
......... Yeah, poor guy. Apparently he's had a couple of them. I remember a story about Eddie Murphy and Michael that was not friendly. I won't post it because I don't know if it's rumor or not. Eddie may have been complicit in some of the things that happened to Michael. You didn't see them hanging around alot after shooting "Remember the Time".
Princess - Good. I didn't believe that either, but I HAD believed that he had SOME kind of injury.
I believe they worked Michael like a machine yes, but there was something much more sinister going on then just overbooking. Seriously, and with AEG. There is not a soul on this earth that is going to convince me that AEG doesn't know how to put a concert together. They do dozens a year without a hitch. Nothing was ready for this concert and it had NOTHING to do with Michael . . . costumes not done, people not hired, etc . . . come on. This concert was never going to happen. Personally, I think the lawsuit is way too far away. There is truth in them-thar lawsuits! :o)

Hey Bonnie,ReplyDelete
Wow, Enoch is amazingly specific! It's pretty obvious why it was removed. It seems such a futile battle waged by evil. What is the point? The outcome is foretold, predestined. My thoughts go in circles while my mind tries to prepare.
I am stunned and confused by Carrie Fisher being such an outspoken advocate of electroshock. Has she had just a few too many jolts?
I listened again to the Final 24 series on River Phoenix, it had been awhile. I think there's some good information in there but as with everything, people need to listen with a discerning ear and continuously sift for truth. Unless proof is presented, it is nothing more than a good narrating voice hired to read a script.
I'm having trouble with the emphasis on drug addiction to justify River's death...as with Michael.
Lots still needs to be explored about River Phoenix because things don't add up.
Wil Wheaton describes River's moral struggle with fame:
About his statement that River's addiction and problems were "really well known" (in Hollywood) - Wil Wheaton and River Phoenix had drifted apart years earlier, when Wil was about 15.
A biography of River Phoenix, opens with Cory Feldman and offers more perspective on the cult years etc.:
Notice at the end of part 2 - 16 magazine with River, Cory Haim and Johnny Depp on the cover. 2 out of 3 dead.
And another "Growing Pains" star died last year - Andrew Koenig. Who knew? Supposedly hung himself in a park in Canada.

Eddie Murphy : Well, if he really said bad things on Michael, I did not know, but then would review my appreciation on him.ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't think Murphy ever said bad things about Michael, but there was a story going around about him trying to get Michael to you know what and Michael didn't want to be around him after that. Mind you this is RUMOR that I read on a forum and I never checked out the source because I considered it garbage back in 2009 when I read it. It could be a bunch of bunk to malign an ally of Michael, I don't know.Delete

Know what's frustrating?ReplyDelete
Exposing the evils done to kids is great, but in our warped
world it led to certain paranoia among masses and innocent
people being arrested for horrible crimes they would never
commit. Michael himself is great example, but such cases
are not unknown all over the world. Officials pick these
innocent men and make them scapegoats, while real criminals
live happily ever after.
In my country we have group of guys pretending to be 12 y.o.
boys, chatting with pedophiles online and arranging a date,
and then this group of fit men with camera meets that sick
individual who needs serious help, films him and puts it up
on-line for officials to see. But official are rarely interested.
Too busy beating up innocent ones? Not to mention well-protected
perverts who have real power and sit in high positions.
Also you do know about that idiocy when some "Child Protection"
organizations take children away from parents. Widespread,
not only in US now. If only you heard silly reasons why certain kids were
separated with parents. BS.
While at the same time truly bad, even dangerous parents have their
kids with them, despite even kids' own attempts to escape or
get protection!
I don't get it. Nobody has child's best interest at heart.
I now feel what Michael did all his life, only I'm not a fighter
and optimist like him, all the pain and despair and feeling so
helpless. Can't save them all, nobody will let us save them!
"Go away, who are you? It's not your business and we know
It all should start with parents, it's vicious circle really -
with bad parent the child gets wrong vision of what adults are about,
they grow up to be exactly like adults around them were, and history
repeats itself. Have you heard how other people talk to their kids?
It often sounds like they hate them! I live in a big city, not in
remote small society with golden fields and apple trees, so I hear
it often. Adults are stressed and depressed and this frustration
and anger they pour on their kids who are sad victims
of the way we all are. It will take Greater will and literally, a miracle
to change things. We'll need 1 000 000 Michael's to touch each heart,
to influence everyone and to change the way we treat each other.
But there is only one Michael, like only one Jesus and... while it must be
enough it's not enough, people stay blind and prefer to be cruel.Replies
This is their scapegoat, anonymous. They hang the innocent, use them as the scapegoats while they continue their behavior. Michael did have the children't best interests at heart, but what is really hard is that early in his solo career, he said and did some things that can be interpreted as "programmed". His earlier songs could be interpreted as being dissillusioned with something he was promised, giving some the idea that Michael turned on them after expected certain rewards he did not get.Delete
In the beginning when I was making the connections to God and Michael and Michael's message, these are the kind of posts and harassments I would get, trying to persuade me that Michael didn't believe in the Bible "anymore", that he followed a "higher calling". The signs are there in his videos that can be interpreted either way. That is why I constantly reference the "strong delusion" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians. We are told that those who have the love of the truth will be given the wisdom to discern, but MAN . . . that is not without it's battles either!
Innocence is about the only thing we have left to fight for. It's GOOD. It's WHOLESOME and JUST. Don't give up just because others twist the cause. ♥
@Truthbtold - Very nice finds. I missed this post, I couldn't find which blog topic it was under, LOL! My apologies. River/Haim/Feldman, the cult and Czechov (or however you spell it). There is more I will email you about. My God, Michael, how do you get off this train! I'd jump but I don't see the ground! (Am I supposed to?)ReplyDelete

6 Trick-or-treating Tips
Discover six unique ideas to have a perfect night of trick-or-treating.
By: Nancy Flanders
Trick-or-treating can be a fun experience for kids and adults alike. Get organized and celebrate this year by hosting a fun get-together for your friends and family. Use these six ideas to make your trick-or-treating party turn out as a hit.
1. Start Early
Have guests arrive a few hours before the trip starts. This gives everyone a chance to get together, take pictures and get ready to go without hustling out the door.
2. Plan a Route
Know which streets you'll cover before you leave the house.
- Before the party, take a preliminary drive of the route so you know which ways to go in order to cover the most ground in the shortest amount of time.
- Check out which houses are participating and which may be too scary for younger trick-or-treaters to visit.
- Print off a map of the area and highlight the route to distribute to the parents in the group so everyone stays on track.
3. Pack the Essentials
Before you walk out the door, make sure you grab these items to throw in a bag or backpack:
- Flashlights
- Your highlighted map
- Something reflective for each trick-or-treater to hold
- Bottles of water
- A way to keep track of time
Have an adult guest park their car about midway through the route in case some trick-or-treaters need to call it a night early.
4. Go Hands Free
If you're trick-or-treating with a toddler, chances are you'll be carrying them about a quarter of the way through the outing. Make sure you have a place to store the essentials.
5. Head Back Home
Once you've hit all the houses on the route, head back home and let the fun begin.
- Let kids check out their candy (after you've vetted the bags) and make some trades.
- Play some Halloween games like pin the grin on the pumpkin, bob for apples, or wrap a mummy in toilet paper.
- Let adult guests unwind by setting out spiced tea, cider and snacks.
6. Have a Backup Plan
Your neighbourhood isn't the only place to go trick-or-treating. Many communities hold supervised trick-or-treat events that provide a safe environment for children to experience the fun of Halloween.
Also, if it rains, don't cancel the night! Have the adults hide candy throughout the house while the kids stay in another room and host a candy scavenger hunt.
Do you have any tried and true trick-or-treating tips you'd like to share? Post them in the comments section below!
Nancy is a part-time writer and full-time mom to three little girls who left the magazine publishing world to raise a family and found a new calling to help, inspire and bring hope to other parents.

If you are stuck in a desk job and and you want to vent out all your creative energies, but are not sure how to go about it – Elizabeth Gilbert's latest novel 'Big Magic – Creative Living Beyond Fear' is just the right thing for you to read over this weekend. The American author, best known for her 2006 memoir Eat, Pray, Love, which lasted several weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list, has pulled a lot of right strings with hew new book. She maintains a playful tone throughout this book, in which you feel like you are in a conversation with Elizabeth herself. She pushes the creative minds among us to go that extra mile, to face our fears and to keep working hard no matter what – not for fame or recognition or money or the modern day 'retweets and likes', but just because you want to express yourself in a creative medium of your choice. She resonates this thought aptly through her book – the unimaginably powerful 'Big Magic.'
If you have been sitting idle on your ideas, this book is the necessary push you'll get to just go get up and make something. Make good art. Gilbert's books encourages you to follow your life's pursuit for creative expression. She gives practical life-altering advice that can help you become a maker, a creator, an artist. In short, this book will make you want to live a life full of passion and give you the impetus to embrace whatever it is that fills you with joy. It is important to note here that, Gilbert doesn't want you to quit your job or leave in search of your calling. Instead, she talks about the small bits that you can do in your daily life that can bring back the 'wonder' and the 'imagination' in everyday tasks.
Her book is not a story. It is a collection of very short essays on different topics, divided into six sections: Courage, Enchantment, Permission, Persistence, Trust, and Divinity The reason for me picking up this book to read was Elizabeth Gilbert's incredibly inspiring TED Talk on Creativity. It was an honest and beautiful speech about success and failure and what it means to be creative. Since then, I have always been on a look out for Gilbert's thoughts on creative expression. And this book 'Big Magic' did not disappoint me. I absolutely loved reading it.

Mumps is a contagious disease marked by painful swelling of the salivary glands. It is caused by a virus that attacks glandular and nervous tissue hi particular. Mumps chiefly affects children from five to ten years of age, and approximately 85% of all infections are acquired by persons under 15 years of age. However, all ages are susceptible, males and females equally. Mumps occurs in all geographical areas. In the temperate zone, there is a concentration of cases in the winter and spring months.
A patient with mumps is usually contagious from several days before the onset of symptoms to the subsidence of salivary-gland swelling, approximately seven to ten days later. Signs of infection usually develop after an incubation period of 16 to 18 days. Approximately 30% to 40% of all exposed susceptible individuals acquire the disease in an inapparent form with no signs or symptoms of illness. The remaining 60% to 70% develop a disease of variable severity with symptoms that are dependent on the sites of infection.
Symptoms and Effects of Mumps
In most cases, the mumps virus attacks the parotid, submaxillary, and sub-lingual salivary glands. The illness begins with fever, pain in front of the ear aggravated by chewing, and swelling of one or both parotid glands. In most cases, the symptoms of salivary-gland involvement subside without complication after a period of one to six days, depending on the severity of the infection.
Other relatively common signs of mumps are inflammation of the testes (orchitis) in the male past puberty and inflammation of the brain and spinal cord (meningoencephalitis). Orchitis is the second most common manifestation of mumps infection in the male, occurring unilaterally in 20% to 30% of males who develop the disease after puberty. Involvement of the testes is very rarely seen in boys before puberty. The common belief that mumps orchitis causes sterility has no factual basis. Mumps meningitis has been estimated to occur in about 10% of all cases. The symptoms are similar to those of nonparalytic poliomyelitis- fever, headache, vomiting, and stiff neck. In most cases, recovery is complete within a period of five to ten days. Deafness is a very rare but serious complication of mumps. In most cases it is unilateral and permanent.
Less common manifestations of mumps include involvement of the pancreas (pancreatitis), ovaries (oophoritis), breasts (mastitis), thyroid (thyroiditis), and other glands. These signs may occur singly or in combination and may precede, accompany, follow, or occur without salivary gland involvement.
Treatment of Mumps
Mumps is a self-limited generalized infection. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Aspirin usually controls the pain.
Prevention of Mumps
The high incidence of inapparent cases and the infectivity of patients before onset of illness both combine to make isolation and quarantine of mumps patients ineffective. Mumps vaccine has been shown to be only partially effective. The protective effect of this vaccine is usually temporary. Children before puberty should not be immunized. It is not rational to delay the development of mumps in childhood, when it is generally mild, to an adult age, when it is usually more severe.

As we inch closer and closer to the premiere of Raven's Home, the official Twitter account revealed it's brand new show opening featuring our two bestie biscuitheads who wreak havoc every time they're together. See it below!
The #RavensHome theme song!pic.twitter.com/3dx2T28Wh8
— Raven's Home (@ThatsSoRavenTV) July 11, 2017
Thanks to previous interviews with the cast members, we already know this series will take place with Raven Baxter (Raven-Symoné) as the mother to two children along with her best friend Chelsea Daniels (Anneliese van der Pol) and her own child. Looks like there's a best friend in the mix too, perhaps the Eddie to their quartet!
If you wait until the last second, the new opening pays homage to the late-2000's series when she ended it with "Yup, that's me!" And instead ends it with, "Yup! That's us!"
We're already excited for this spinoff but just getting a piece of the new series will hold us over until the series premiers on Disney Channel next Friday, July 21st after the premiere of Descendants 2.

Mouthwatering, colorful collection of fresh Top 10 Pinterest Soups Picks, each more tempting than the one before. Enjoy the following feast for the eyes and try not to get the need for a good, pleasant soup. It might be harder than you think…
10. Thai Coconut Chicken Soup – Tom Kha Gai
Well balanced, exotic and full of bright flavors, authentic Asian food is often quite healthy and nutritious, this Thai Coconut Chicken Soup Recipe tastes good as it looks.
9. Aguadito De Pollo (Peruvian Chicken Soup)
Have you ever made Peruvian Chicken Soup? Very simple to make although with a long preparation time. The soup, if cooked as directed will result in a very tasty soup. It's worth the effort, a real homemade recipe.
8. Le Oignon Français Soupe
A rich, sweet, flavorful onion laden soup with floating croutons and lots of melted cheese. You can't beat a good French Onion Soup and I have a really good one for you.
7. Broccoli and Red Lentil
I know it doesn't look like broccoli (it's a yellow soup, after all), but it's because of turmeric and red lentils. We present the Broccoli and Red Lentil Yellow Soup. Gluten and vegan free.
6. Potato and Garlic
A hearty, fortifying Potato and Garlic Soup recipe made with roasted and sautéed garlic along with potatoes, shallots, and fresh herbs.
5. Carrot Cream Soup – Ginger and Mint Flavored
Cream soup addicts? Guilty, right here! The soup I make on the regular Carrot Cream Soup – Ginger and Mint Flavored. Takes about 40 minutes to make it from scratch (plus 5-10 to clean up the mess in the kitchen), but it's totally worth for this vegan and gluten-free creamy soup.
4. Crab and Shrimp
The American Crab and Shrimp Soup come together as great flavor combination! The seasonings are spot-on and the slight hint of lemon from the zest pulls it all together.
3. Roasted Pumpkin-Apple
Just look at this beautiful bowl right there. Roasted Pumpkin-Apple Soup vegan, gluten & dairy free. You just know it good, when one picture makes you want to try the soup as soon as possible.
2. Agave Nectar and Sweet Pea
I will proudly say that our recipe developer did an awesome job with this Sweet Pea and Agave Nectar Soup which is, by the way, vegan & gluten free. Most nutritious, even more delicious.
1. Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato
My numero uno soup found on Pinterest goes to Slow-Cooked Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup vegan, gluten-free & paleo recipe. I'll be honest, I'm being subjective a bit, I do fancy the cream soups in general.
Hope you can find interesting ideas for your next supper here. Or maybe you would like to share your favorite soup with us?

Today I'm completely free of the trauma, I have all the memories and learning experience but none of the re-traumatizing flash-backs. I have no explanation for how Lollo helped me, only the calm and secure feeling that she left me with. /

My more conceptual projects on facing concert photography and music from a different perspective end up in this gallery collection.
Loading ()...
9 galleries
117 imagesI began my music photography activity with the nick of Live on 35mm and since then I shot concerts on traditional film. This gallery is a selection of images taken at concerts, mainly in UK since the begin of the century. Be patient, come back, with time you will find here hundreds of artists which have rarely been photographed on 35mm b&w film. You can order prints of any of these photos, either from the digital file or hand printed by me in the old darkroom way. I start with Amy Winehouse and Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Enjoy
61 imagesA collection of people enjoying gigs for the most advantageous point in the crowd, and musicians getting as close as they can physically get to their fans. Crowdsurfing is a key part of the most lively rock concerts. Defeating health and safety measures and challenging security people, crowdsurfers are unstoppable.
37 imagesI began my music photography activity with the nick of Live on 35mm and since then I shot music on traditional film. I am now scanning my 35mm b&w concert photography production in higher resolution. This gallery is a selection of images taken at blues concerts this side of the millennium and aims to be a homage to these musicians who made the blues the quintessential popular music in the previous millennium. From David "Honeyboy" Edward, who kept playing till he died at 96 years old to the Black Keys. Featuring T-Model Ford, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, John Mayall, Joe Bonamassa, Ben Harper, Otis Taylor, Gary Moore, Dr John...
51 imagesHipsters are a subculture of young, recently settled, urban middle class adults and older teenagers with musical interests mainly in alternative rock. Other interests would include independent film, magazines such as Vice and Clash, websites like Pitchfork. Christian Lorentzen argues that "hipsterism fetishizes the authentic elements of all of the fringe movements of the post-war era: beat, hippie, punk, even grunge. It draws on the cultural stores of every ethnicity and regurgitates it with a winking inauthenticity." Julia Plevin continues "the definition of 'hipster' remains opaque to anyone outside this self-proclaiming, highly-selective circle. The whole point of hipsters is that they avoid labels and being labelled. However, they all dress the same and act the same and conform in their non-conformity to an iconic carefully created sloppy vintage look." UK media coined the term 'Shoreditch twat' immortalised by the fictional Nathan Barley and serialised on TV. "A 20-something dressed in over-priced torn clothing and numerous 80s retro fashion items. Ridiculous haircuts also de-rigueur. Commonly found in Shoreditch/Hoxton area, usually a new media, fashion student, photographer-type person making bad art in an overpriced warehouse apartment while living on seemingly limitless parental funds. They have an ability to talk about pseudo-intellectual artistic trend with no relevance to the real world, completely up their own backsides and a failure to comprehend of being the laughing stock of the local (ethnic) population." Since 2007, there has been no better showcase for so-called "hipster fag" music in Britain than the 1234 and Field Day Festival. 1234, located in Shoreditch Park, has a "line-up that has always been unbearably ahead of the curve". Field Day runs in Victoria Park where for one day every year East-London vintage wear hoarding hipsters can shake it on down with their brothers and sisters.

9 imagesAmy Winehouse at her peak, caught live at the Junction in Cambridge in 2006 touring the Back To Black album. Few weeks after this show she will storm the Brits winning several awards. All this set was shot in 35mm b&w film.
93 imagesMusic Festivals are not only about music. They are a place for fashion and culture; for love, relax, eating, drinking and... This gallery gathers candid images from the several editions of Field Day Festival I attended. Field Day is an outdoor music festival which takes place in Victoria Park in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Field Day started in 2007 single day event and it is now a two day summer event bringing together many of London's alternative concert and club promoters to produce a day of music, dancing and maximum hoopla set in London's heartland. Music is the main driver but it also aims to have the charm of a village fete. There's multiple music stages and fete activities with a twist.

8 imagesKaty Perry shot in London in 2009 at the begin of her stardom. Great pop concert and the chance to portray her from the pit of a small theatre as the Shepherrd Bush Empire and not from the back of a big arena.
47 imagesA collection of my favourite images shot at several of the ATP festivals events in the last years.
70 imagesGlastonbury on TV explores different levels. Surely, it is a music photography project. I have been photographing live shows since 1999 and I am looking for a different perspective besides the standard I get from the press pit. From a conceptual point of view it takes the festival experience and turns it upside down. Especially Glastonbury festival, notorious for getting people wet, muddy and messy while they walk throughout the fields to get to the many stages. This set is shot from the comfort of home, sitting on a sofa in a dry and relaxed living room. Instead of hiking on wellies, the stages are reached with a remote. Instead of changing lenses, protecting cameras or finding the right spot, it benefits from BBC professional direction. Instead of having short and restricted "three songs no flash" conditions, it covers the entire length of the concert, which is often aired multiple times a day. A camera on a tripod, a fixed macro lens pointing at the screen and eyes wide open to catch the moment. I like constraining my work within limits. Obstacles stimulate creativity. The limit here is the screen and its rendition in photos. The challenge is to take advantage of the hurdle. I exacerbated it using an old cathode ray tube TV. Due to the low resolution, the Red-Green-Blue pattern of the pixels inevitably becomes a perceptible part of the image. All the images are in the 4:3 ratio used on these monitors. These photos would fail if they were a lazy representation of a concert, the set aims to stand alone as a photography's piece.
58 imagesIt's sad to set up such a gallery, but I wanted to have it as a homage to the memory of great musicians that are not anymore with us. We still have the music, but is less frequent to have the images. I have been photographing live music for a long time and unfortunately the number of artists I shot that are not anymore with us is increasing. It's life and they deserve to live on... 35mm mostly.
21 imagesRecord Store Day is an internationally celebrated day observed the third Saturday of April each year. Its purpose is to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store. The day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores across the world. Record Store Day was officially founded in 2007 and is now celebrated at stores across the world, with hundreds of recording and other artists participating in the day by making special appearances, performances, meet and greets with their fans, the holding of art exhibits, and the issuing of special vinyl and CD releases along with other promotional products to mark the occasion.

50 imagesMy ever expanding, and regularly changing, colour portfolio of live music shot on digital. From Indie to Metal, from Folk to Electronica. All images are available as fine art prints from this site to your house or, signed by me. Use the contact form for any enquiry.
24 imagesOff the pit. A fan perspective on concert photography. I have spent more than ten years photographing hundreds of bands in venues' photo pit, one metre from the performers, with a professional attitude and professional cameras. I went to Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona in 2011 as a fan to enjoy the music. I took snapshots shooting a concert from the point of view, with the mind and with the camera of a fan. My aim here is to not take the viewer onto the stage, but to take the viewer far from it, back where he was standing with me, sharing from uncomfortable spots its own emotions instead of showing off photographer's privilege.
45 imagesI have been covering Fat White Family, south London band, since their beginning, so this is a special gallery exclusively dedicated to them, live on stage.

But figures for Maghull's high schools are more promising, with all three performing above the national average.
Maricourt headteacher, Sister Mary Teresa was delighted with her school's performance.
She said: "We're very pleased that the pupils and teachers at Maricourt have continued to maintain the excellent standards achieved in recent years."
Sefton's cabinet member for Children, Schools and Families, Cllr Peter Dowd, said: "Sefton's schools are continuing their upward trend in terms of performance and I am very pleased with the results.
"We will continue to push for further improvements to our services and build on the successes of the past year. I would like to congratulate both pupils and staff on their hard work." n Truancy rates for schools in Maghull are well below the national average of 1.1 per cent and borough average of
0.7 per cent.
