Mosquito Repellents
A recent study documented the efficacy of several products and devices to determine their mosquito repellent properties.
The New England Journal of Medicine (2002;347:13-18) recently published a study conducted by investigators from North Carolina and Florida. The study was based on four products that contained DEET, a repellent that contains IR3535, three wristbands containing repellent, and a moisturizer. Each had claims of repelling mosquitoes and many also claim to protect against infections from mosquitoes.
The results of the study showed that the products containing DEET offered the most protection. The amount of protection corresponds with the concentration of DEET. However, the rate of difference peaked at 50%, there was a minimal difference after that. The products that do not contain DEET lost their repellent properties after 20 minutes.
Although DEET had questions raised about its safety to users, study authors said that its safety profile after 60 years of use and more than 8 billion applications is remarkable. The reported adverse effects from users are generally due to gross over-usage.
No part of the world can avoid infections carried by mosquitoes; about 700 million mosquito-borne infections are transmitted to people annually. Among them, encephalitis and West Nile virus are two of the most common illnesses. The West Nile virus has spread to 27 states in the United States already.
As compared to the risks of infection, the risk of DEET-related adverse effects pales in comparison.

We are very proud to offer surgery services performed at our clinic.
A comprehensive physical exam is performed on the patient prior to anesthesia to determine the individual health status. Anesthetics are chosen depending on the patient's individual needs.
A pre-anesthetic blood screen is recommended to also verify that the patient does not have a pre-existing organ dysfunction and is healthy enough to withstand an anesthesia and ensure no underlying disease is present.
Our doctors and technical staff care for your pet and follow standard sterilization techniques. Every procedure is carefully monitored by a trained technician as well as a multi-parameter monitor which gives us real time information on ECG, pulse, blood oxygen saturation levels, blood pressure and temperature during the procedure. After surgery recovery care is provided, as well as prophylactic medications for infection and pain management therapy. Each owner will leave with at home instructions to help the healing and recovery process.
If your pet is having surgery at our hospital, please have a look at our Pre-Surgery instructions below.
Most surgical procedures require a general anesthesia before the procedure can be performed. Take these few simple steps to minimize the check-in time and the risks to your pet.
Procedures such as routine spays and neuters will spend a night in the hospital in order to reduce the possibility of over activity which can lead to incision problems. Procedures such as mass removals, dentistry, and minor procedures generally will be discharged on the same day depending on the case. We will notify you on check-in if your pet will stay the night for observation.

The days' long celebration of Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka's 80th birthday has kicked of in Nigeria (and around the world) at the University of Lagos with an International Conference. Themed "The Soyinka Impulse: Art, Humanity, Transitions and Performance", Harvard Professor Biodun Jeyifo gave the keynote speech while renowned Soyinka scholar and literary "stalker" Professor James Gibbs talked at length about the staggering oeuvres–with special emphasis on his less well known radio plays dating back half a century ago–of the man also affectionately called "Kongi".
The day ended with a special spoken word performance by Jamaican born Mutabaruka, American Jayvon Johnson and a host of their Nigerian counterparts, including Sage Hassan, Efe Paul Azino, Dagga Tola and Titilope Sonuga. Subjects treated were as diverse an they they were awesomely rendered: racism, Barack Obama, Tiger Woods, a 'black 'Adam and his 'White' Eve; bleaching, poverty, leadership, justice, fashion, rape, money, politics, infidelity, child marriage, music and–yes, you guessed right–love.
On the sidelines of the Wole Soyinka celebrations, taking place in both Lagos and Abeokuta, the celebrant's ancestral home, is a month-long exhibition in his honour. It's hosted at the J.P Clarke Centre, Faculty of Arts, University of Lagos. It is a room full of images of Wole Soyinka as created by various artistes using various media–from Acrylic to Clay to Pencil.

Ask reputable companies such as non-profits to provide links to your web site. Search engines look at results from these sites differently and rank them higher because they are considered reputable sources of information. In order to get reliable websites to feature your website, make sure to always provide accurate information. Add content that these type of organizations find worthy and useful.
Site Map
When you add a site map to your site you add in an essential part for search engine optimization procedures. Your site will be much easier for the spiders to crawl if you include a site map. If your site is large, consider multiple maps. You don't want more than 100 different links for each map.
To make certain pages more easier to find for search engines, use keyword in the URL of the page. If a URL has symbols or numbers that won't be searched for, it is unlikely to rank highly in search engines. Making sure relevant keywords from your site and content are included will always help garner traffic.

What matters is that the search engines identify and index the alt tags so that the keywords are able to improve page rank.
Search Engine
Use the longer or plural form of keywords to generate more search engine hits. Keyword stemming is used by some search engines. For example, if you use "accountant" as your keyword, then any searches for "accountants" or "accounting" may not have your site listed in the results. If you are using a search engine that uses keyword stemming, use the longest form of the word possible.
Social media sites are absolutely necessary when you are working with SEO. Both Facebook and Twitter are great for interacting with customers, while YouTube is perfect for product demonstrations and other videos.

With the first service pack for Exchange Server 2007 due out at any time, the question is whether or not some of its new replication features will get IT managers to jumpstart their migrations from older Exchange platforms on to the new messaging server.
Microsoft has promised Exchange Server 2007 SP1 for the fourth quarter of this year. The big new feature will be standby continuous replication, or SCR, which lets IT managers replicate an Exchange Server to another location, which could then be activated if there were a disaster at the company's main location.
Exchange Server 2007 came with local continuous replication and cluster continuous replication. The LCR copies the Exchange Server onto another location on the same server, while CCR gives IT manager's instant fail-over to another server at the same location. The addition of SCR means IT managers will have a third copy of the Exchange Server at a remote location, although it has to be activated manually.

Below expectation ( FITOOR )
|Source: The Hitavada Date: 13 Feb 2016 16:11:08
By Farina Salim Quraishi
OF the many 'Great Expectations' one had from Fitoor, it manages to fulfill a few, and sorely disappoints with the rest.While the movie is an intense love story, it lacks depth; it has some charismatic moments, yetlacks charisma andtotoptoall,it has fantastic performances but has Katrina Kaif!
Based on Charles Dickens' literary gem,Great Expectations,Fitoor has director Abhishek Kapoor portraying the story of Kashmir with more zeal than his protagonists' poignant yet pointlessly doomed love story.
Like the book, Fitoor is told infirst-person narrative by Noor Nizami (a broad and bulky Aditya Roy Kapur), playing the orphaned Pip. The frosty and frigid Estella is essayed by Katrina Kaif as Firdaus, while Tabu plays the eccentric Miss Havisham as Begum Hazrat Jaan. 'The Boy From Dal', as Noor is known later, is an mpoverished aspiringartist.
Summoned by the Begum for some oddjobs at the haveli, Nooris intrigued and awed by its grandeur. Despite strict instructions about keeping his voice low and eyes even lower, Noor just can't keep his eyes off Hazrat's beautiful daughter, Firdaus.
Though Firdaus is heart-stoppingly beautiful, she is heart-breakingly haughty as well; still in no time, Noor is hooked for life. Aristocratic spinster Begum Hazrat,with scores to settle with the world, alternately encourages and discourages Noor's love, with an agenda of her own.
After a tragedy in which Noor loses his beloved Appa, Firdaus is packed off to London, leaving him heartbroken. Determined to become 'kaabil for Firdaus', Noor channelises all his energies into his art with his slow-burning desire firing him on.
When a secret benefactor offers a fully-funded arts scholarship in Delhi to Noor, he grabs at the opportunity and quickly becomes a sensation in the art world. It is here that Noor gets to meet his Firdaus again, who is by now looking even more sensational. One look at her streaming red hair, all of Noor's epressed feelings come bubbling to the surface, threatening to burn down his well-crafted paradise.
Even as Firdaus starts warming up to Noor, Begum's cold advice about love and life check sherin her tracks.How then the impossible lovestory play sout forms much of the movie thereon. Abhishek Kapoor is quite adept at making literally adaptations, Kai Po Che!, being a good xam pleasany;and he makes good work of adapting the Dickens' classic into a moving 21st century emotional saga.
Keeping the essence of the story more or less intact, the director stays true to the book's premise and yet is faithfully Bollywood ish. Along with cowriter Supratik Sen, Kapoor has wovenastory which at first draws you in, makes you marvel and then leaves you cold. The movie is set in Kashmir, which is presented in all its glory.
Never before has anyone presented the vivid yet stark autumn-winter of the 'Paradise On Earth', the way Kapoor has. It's almost one of the characters in Fitoor. Anay Goswamy's skilled lens capture the surreal beauty of Kashmir fantastically making the film visually stunning. Also despite the story of the orphan boy making it big in love and life known well, Kapoor with deft tweaks manages keep the audience guessing.
But the film takes it own sweet time in building up the story with only Noor and Firdaus' love established in the first half. A few meanderings, and several sweeping glimpses of Kashmir's vistas later, the slower moving second half brings about the culmination of the love story, which will surprise but a few.
Moreover, despite pointedly saying in the film that arts and politics are hard to separate, Kapoor only just touches upon the Kashmir issue.
Abhishek Kapoor's infatuation with two 'K'sKatrina and Kashmir- seems to have clouded his judgment big time. Both of them get more than deserved footage in the film.
Though Kashmir, with its impossible beauty, somehow justifies it's overwhelming presence, it is Katrina Kaif with her one-dimensional expressions and frequent 'knor' instead of Noor, who stands out as
Herpitifully low acting skills are in sharp contrastto the dazzling performance by Tabu. She isascene stealer,this woman. Improving her regaland restrained act as Mauja in Haider, Tabu plays the over dramatic and theatrical Hazrat with exquisite finesse.
One will love her, loathe her and eventually pity her as Hazrat descends into insanity. Rough and rugged Aditya looks the part of a barbad aashiq and is at his intense best.
Though his brooding demeanour and haunting eyes speak volumes, he struggles in the bits where he has to be anything other than the forlorn lover.
Speaking of struggle, it's such a pain to see Katrina 'emote' (hardly), messing up the wide range of emotions her character is required to play. Also her chemistry with Aditya is too cold to charm.
The emotional turbulence of Firdaus has always been too talla call for Katrina,but Ms Kaif opting for the confused look throughout the movie is just not acceptable! All in all, in this season of love, if you are looking for an intense love drama, be sure to checkout Fitoor,but leave your watch behind.

Moving Forward!/
With a newly completed feasibility study we are now focusing on fundraising to install luminaire art on the Pier 86 grain elevator and silo structures.
To fulfill the theme of "Seattle's Waterfront Heritage: Past, Present, Future," the initial objective is to place Nicole Kistler's "Illuminated Ghosts" on the south terminal wall during the winter of 2017.
This projected art, depicting the forested Seattle area before settlement, will demonstrate the power of illumination art and will offer the community a chance to respond to this light art.
If the public response is positive, the follow-up plan is to partner with Seattle institutions and create a five-year curated, rotating episodic illuminated art installation on the North, South and Western seaward faces of the Pier 86 structures.
This proposal would honor the site's past and current working industrial site, highlight Seattle's new Elliott Bay waterfront improvements, build community with a notable icon, and revel in Seattle's rich diverse bay and shoreline area.
To help with the expenses of a projector, the artist and technician, please donate to our FAP86 501(c)(3) link with the Seattle Parks Foundation.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said he hadn't spoken with Trump about his confidence in Sessions in light of an ABC report.
The report said Sessions' relationship with the president has disintegrated so much that the former Alabama senator suggested he might resign.
Krauthammer pointed out that the last time Spicer said he "hadn't spoken with Trump" about a member of the administration, then-FBI Director James Comey was fired days later.

"This is really bad," Krauthammer said.
Trump is reportedly extremely frustrated that Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation.
Krauthammer said that if the president does not have enough "self-control" to prevent the departure of a "pillar of the administration," it could spell doom for the presidency.
"If you can't absorb this one issue on which he disagrees and you have to get rid of him, no one is safe," Krauthammer said, adding that it would turn the Trump White House into an "intrinsically unstable administration."

my weakness
It was so beautiful on the weekend I ventured up to Yorkville to visit one of my favourite stores Teatro Verde. I have a weakness for pretty smelling things including lotions and soaps. Fresh soaps are my fave, but a bit of an indulgence so I splurged! My favourites are Fig Apricot and Coriander Lavendar.

|Glory (70cm x 100cm, acrylic paint on canvas, year created: 2014)
perjantai 7. marraskuuta 2014
I've been extremly busy lately and I've had very little time to paint. But now I have the feeling that painting is coming back to me after a short absence. Here is a new painting I did. It's my biggest "portrait" so far. First I was painting this drowning lady in the river...but it looked like sh*t, so instead I started to paint this big blue portrait. I didn't plan much but just went for it (and modern society...during painting I just had to take a mean looking selfie?)... I stared at the painting for a week and did some minor improvements. Then I decided that it was ready. So here is "Glory", tadaa!

It seems like every time I turn around these days, I encounter a book that really rings my bell only to discover that it's another Necro Publications entry. And that's okay with me because Necro is publishing some fine dark fiction and is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the best indie publishers in the industry. And the dark, hardcore western that I'm going to talk about today is another example of the outstanding work they're doing. Robert Dean's THE RED SEVEN rung my bell so fucking hard it cracked like the Liberty.
THE RED SEVEN is a rocket paced bloody western along the lines of S. Craig Zahler's WRAITHS OF THE BROKEN LAND, only with less of the complexity. It's rich in vivid imagery, quirky characterizations, and no holds barred violence and mayhem. I never knew what the word romp really meant until now, but in case you're wondering, this is it. THE RED SEVEN is brutal and gruesome, with gore aplenty, but it's also super fun and reads too fast for someone who doesn't want it to end. And if you're like me, you won't want it to end.
The Ghost is a fantastic, fully realized character, larger than life in his all black garb, with guns and knives galore and unyielding tenacity. His backstory is well developed and, in spite of his gruff demeanor and his penchant for shooting first and asking later, you will find yourself unable to do anything but love him. Now, as usual, while reading this story I watched for the thing that ties this all together, that makes the story flow and the whole thing work. And in this case, it's dialogue. Dean is a master of the spoken word, infusing his character exchanges with action and forward motion, always driving the story along toward what I thought was a brilliant, brutal final conflict between The Ghost and a character named Charley Warchief.
THE RED SEVEN should come with a warning: "Don't pick this up unless you have some time to spare." Seriously, you will not want to put this down, so block out some time. This is, to the best of my knowledge, Robert Dean's first western and it's a resounding success. I loved this story and will read anything this guy writes. And I think, if you read this book, you'll feel exactly the same way. The only bad thing about it is that it ended before Dean had written me another one. Follow those links below to get a copy of this outstanding dark western for yourself.
You can get a copy of THE RED SEVEN from Amazon, or directly from Necro Publications.
THE RED SEVEN synopsis: Violence, regret, money, malice and death – these are the footnotes of a distorted America.
A bounty hunter draped in black stalks the American landscape looking for seven men. Seven vicious beasts that took his heart and shattered it. Fueled by a depraved hatred and will only beset by revenge, The Ghost searches for the men who murdered his family in cold blood. One by one, he'll cross their names off their wanted poster and find closure with each crushing bullet.
The Red Seven is the story of a man with nothing to lose, a portrait into a violent mind of a killer of killers who cannot rest until he's avenged his family.
A Southern Gothic western, The Red Seven is a must read for fans of Cormac McCarthy, Quentin Tarantino, Joe Lansdale and William Burroughs.
About Robert Dean: Robert Dean is a New Orleanian living in Austin exile. You can find his books in bookstores and on Amazon. He's hard at work on a new novel and poetry collection.
His screwed up memoir about New Orleans is still seeking a home.
He also likes ice cream and panda bears.

Copernicus Sentinel-5P releases first data
12 July 2018
Following months of tests and careful evaluation, the first data on air pollutants from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite have been released. These first maps show a range of trace gases that affect air quality such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone.
Launched on 13 October 2017, Sentinel-5P is the first Copernicus satellite dedicated to monitoring our atmosphere. It is part of the fleet of Sentinel missions that ESA develops for the European Union's environmental monitoring Copernicus programme managed by the European Commission.
As poor air quality continues to prematurely claim the lives of millions of people every year, it is more important than ever that we find better and more accurate ways of monitoring the air we breathe.

I rise at nine, wondering where my cup of tea is.
Ah, that's the answer. Dave isn't up yet. That's a bit of a bummer. I fancy a cup of tea. I make do with a pint of Red Barrel instead. It's only 3.7% ABV so perfectly fine as a breakfast beer.
I try to get David's telly to work while I'm waiting for everyone to get up. It's harder than it sounds. He has multiple satellite and cable boxes. A bit of fiddling does produce a picture. I think just through the TV itself.
The kids come down and I get them to help with the television. They manage to get the cable working. Brilliant. Now we can put the Hitler channel on. Which is what the kids do.
Dave finally drags his lazy arse downstairs and makes us some tea. The kids are very keen on tea, too. Must be their English genes. Though Dolores is quite partial to a cuppa as well. I fire up the grill and get the bacon cooking.
"How black do you want your bacon, Lexie."
"Not black at all."
"Just a little bit black, then?"
"No, not black, dad. Can you be serious for a minute."
"How black do you want your bacon, Andrew."
"Shut up about the black shit, dad."
"Someone's a Mr. Grumpy Trousers this morning."
"Just make my sandwich, dad."
My own bacon I cook a lovely shade of crispy golden black. Just how I like it.
Dave puts on a French quiz show. He's got himself a French satellite box. It's so he can keep up his French. Not a bad idea. I'd do it myself if I had any arsing left in me.
Henry is supposed to come and pick us up at 11:30. I'm amazed when the doorbell rings at 11:29.
"Henry's on time, for once."
Except he isn't. It's my sister Margaret.
I mention our encounter with the teenage barman in Spoons. "He looks about fourteen", I say.
Margaret knows him, as she also frequents Spoon. "He's 21."
"You what?"
"I know. I thought he was still at school, too. He wouldn't be much use if things kicked off. Though the barmaids can sort people out. The one's a big lass."
What an exotic place Newark is. So much fun. If you don't have to live there.
Henry rings to say he's had to something vague connected with the brewery. More likely he's been sat on his arse listening to Radio 4. The plan is now to get here at 13:30. I fetch myself another pint of Red Barrel.
"Fancy a beer, lads?"
"It's a bit early for me." Andrew replies.
"But it's almost twelve."
"Still early for me."
That's true. Before he had a job he was rarely out of bed in the morning.
I while away the time waiting for Henry with more Red Barrel. Alexei joins me after a while.
I decide to explain a little about the beer he's drinking. "It's the classic Evil Keg beer. Do you know what that means?"
"No. And I don't care. Can you let me drink my beer in peace, dad?"
I persist "Evil Keg is . . . . "
"Daaad, I told you. I don't care. Just shut up about that crap"
Amazingly, Henry actually tuns up approximately on time. It's Andrew's turn to ride in the back. At least it's not mine. My poor old bones aren't up to that sort of thing. As I keep telling the kids.
Henry's lucky to have a house with several sizeable outbuildings. Including an old barn, which now houses his brewery. I'm surprised how neat and tidy it all his. With the usual shiny things shining shiningly. Not much more you can say about them, really.
While we're admiring the shiny things, Phil Dale and his wife Annick turn up with a dog and two chickens. I can't have seen them for 30 years. They also live in Collingham.
The chickens aren't live chickens, but roasted ones. I thought we'd just come to take a look at the brewery. It seems like there's going to be some sort of party. That's confirmed when Baz, his builder and brewing assistant, arrives accompanied by his girlfriend. Then Spook, someone else I haven't seen for decades.
Henry has a couple of barrels set up in his tasting room. Which is half of the old plough-making workshop. Where there are a variety of chairs and settees, in various state of dilapidation. The building is full of, er, old crap. Weird old tools, handmade work benches and lots of stuff I can't recognise. Rustic, you might call it, if you were being kind.
Lexie is keen to see Henry's cock. Sorry, that's come across badly. I mean the feathered type of cock, which is in one of the many outbuildings. It's pretty aggressive and scary. Not sure why Henry has it, given he's a vegetarian.
Steve, a former colleague of Henry from his teaching days, turns up with some sort of insanity pepper. 2.5 million scovilles. He persuades Andrew to eat a little piece.
"It's not that bad," he says at first. It doesn't last long. Soon he gasping for milk. It's a while before the sweating subsides.
Amazingly, Alexei gives it a try, too. With exactly the same effect. Me? I'm not daft enough to let a pepper like that anywhere near my mouth.
One of the casks contains William Younger 80/-. My recipe, obviously. It's pretty nice, though so heavily conditioned it's hard to pour a full pint. Lexie struggles with the tap and gets beer all over the floor. Not to worry. It's not as if it will add substantially to the mess.
"You've got lovely plums, Henry." I remark. The fruit I mean. Which he does. Really tasty ones. "You should pick them before they fall off and rot."
He doesn't seem moved to action. "Get yourself a still, then it doesn't matter if your fruit gets overripe."
Henry replies: "I've got some home-made spirit from Portugal. Do you fancy trying it? I'll warn you it's a bit rough."
This is the point where things start getting out of hand.
"It's not that rough. I've had much worse. Jonge Jenever is like drinking paintstripper."
"I think I've still got some Lagavullin somewhere."
Henry returns with a bottle of Lagavullin, which is about a quarter full. I do love me Lagavullin.
Things then get blurry. A bit like this photo.
We adjourn to Phil and Annick's place. Which has a garden just slightly smaller than Wales. We drink more beer.
At some point we take a taxi back to Dave's. Not that I can really remember it. Funnily enough, I have no trouble falling asleep. Let's see what state the kids are in tomorrow.

Industry: Nonprofit
Elise Tretola
Founder and CEO
Allies, Inc.
Allies, Inc. provides residential, employment and advocacy programs to children and adults with disabilities. "Many of the people who seek assistance from Allies reside in nursing homes or state-run developmental centers just because they have nowhere else to live," says Elise Tretola, founder and CEO of Allies. "Over the last 17 years, Allies has been able to find people with special needs places to live and work in our community just like everyone else." Many of the people the organization serves have become involved in civic and voluntary groups as a way to give back to the community.
Fun Fact: "In addition to my work at Allies, I am a very active member of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve."
Allies has provided employment and housing services to more than 1,700 people. In addition, the nonprofit has added new services, including financial literacy and transition from school to work. "Allies' imperative has always been to offer an array of choices for the individual and his or her family, providing creative programming that capitalizes on individual gifts, talents and preferences," says Tretola. In 2015, Allies acquired its first affiliate, Opportunity Knocks, a nonprofit that also serves people with developmental disabilities in New Jersey.
Allies has two major fundraisers each year. "The first is our fashion show, where the people we serve are the models for the fashion we sell in our Greensleeves Boutiques, which are staffed by people with disabilities," says Tretola. The second event is known as Taste of America. For this event, between 13 and 15 restaurants give tastings of their signature dishes.

5.31 Neglect Strategy: Getting It Right First Time – Keeping It Going
This strategy document for Lincolnshire on Neglect, details the considerable extent to which 'neglect' features as part of, or only category of concern for children. The chapter seeks to identify / define what neglect is, the serious impact it can have upon children and, whilst recognising the difficulties in identifying it, supports an Early Help approach to families. Each family should have a 'Keep it Going' Plan, designed to maintain standards of care, and each agency should audit their work in this area of family concern.
This chapter was added to the manual in September 2015.
- Purpose
- Vision
- What is Neglect?
- The Role of Early Help in Addressing Neglect
- Impact of Neglect on Children
- Extent of Neglect in Lincolnshire
- Strategic Objectives
1. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to set out the strategic objectives and targets of Lincolnshire's approach to tackling Neglect. This strategy also identifies key risk factors and vulnerabilities of adults with parental responsibilities and children that can have an impact on neglect. It in addition identifies key priority areas of work in order to improve Lincolnshire's response to Neglect. Key to the strategy is the importance of identifying Neglect and supporting children and families through Early Help Arrangements.
This strategy has been developed in conjunction with Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children's Board LSCB partners. Due to the nature of Neglect, and the possibility that parents or carers may not wish to work with various agencies, staff should be particularly aware of the escalation policy within their own agency and this strategy should therefore be considered alongside individual agency and related LSCB strategies, policies and procedures.
2. Vision
LSCB's vision is to reduce the incidence of Neglect of children in the County and further to reduce repeat incidents of Neglect for individual children. We want to get it 'right first time' and then help families to keep the improvements going.
The way forward is that everyone has an agreed understanding of what Neglect is, how it affects the development of children and young people and that together we establish an agreed and effective approach to reducing levels of Neglect in childhood.
Within universal services all agencies work with families to improve and maintain standards of care. Where staff are concerned with a lack of progress or engagement at the universal level, such concerns should be discussed within their own agency and consideration given to initiating a Team Around the Child (TAC) (Team Around the Child Supporting Documentation). Consultation with an Early Help Advisor is available via the Children's Services Customer Services Centre, (Tel: 01522 782111).
Where early identification of difficulties arises, and supporting the family through sustainable improvements in the care of children through Early Help arrangements is indicated, the development of a TAC is needed. There is a need to promote a culture amongst all agencies of robust planning to promote sustainable improved life chances for children. To deal effectively with identified Neglect of children, the work with the family must clearly set out what needs to happen, by when, and who is responsible for specific parts of the plan. Plans should set out clearly what will happen if improvements do not happen and/or are not maintained.
In all our work with children, we want to reduce the number of assessments experienced by children and their families and so work with the family has to involve listening to the child and, whenever possible, making sure the child's wishes are followed within the plan. We want to provide parents with the tools and techniques which help them to make changes for the better, and to maintain the improvements. Key to the vision is the importance of encouraging and supporting positive parenting and enabling those caring for children to make sufficient and sustainable changes.
"Some kids don't realise they are neglected until they get to primary school - because it has just been their life, so teachers need to ask.' (Neglect Matters – Sophie, young person)
3. What is Neglect?
Neglect is the most common reason for a child to be the subject of a Child Protection Plan in the UK. It happens when parents or carers can't or won't meet a child's needs. Sometimes this is because they don't have the skills or support needed, and sometimes it's due to other problems such as mental health issues, drug and alcohol problems or poverty. It may involve a child who is not being protected from sexual harm, Child Sexual Exploitation or the impact of Domestic Violence and Abuse.
Official definitions of neglect
Neglect may occur during pregnancy as a result, for example, of maternal substance abuse. In Lincolnshire there is a Pre-Birth protocol which must be followed. This is one approach which aims to improve pre natal care to help with early identification of potential neglect and to help families understand the importance of preparing healthily and carefully for the new baby.
Once a child is born, Neglect through childhood may involve;
- A parent or carer failing to provide adequate food;
- Failing to provide clothing and shelter (including exclusion from home or abandonment);
- Failing to protect a child from physical and emotional harm or danger;
- Failing to ensure adequate supervision (including the use of inadequate care-givers);
- Failing to ensure access to appropriate medical care or treatment;
- Neglect of, or unresponsiveness to, a child's basic emotional needs;
- Failing to ensure a child receives an education.
"Neglect is the most cited reason for children to be referred to Children's Social Care and for becoming Looked After, as reported to central government. Other categories of concern may be masked by the use of the code denoting multiple reasons, which might include Neglect, Physical, Sexual or Emotional Abuse and "Neglect remains the largest category or reason for referral and entering care". (October 2014 the Association of Directors of Children's Services LTD (ADCS). The ADCS report also noted that 35% of authorities believe that early intervention has started to affect safeguarding activity…There was an overwhelming view that early intervention does play a crucial part in affecting safeguarding activity.
"I think that parents do not always have help, and could have had a difficult time themselves" (Neglect Matters quote from young person).
For the purposes of this strategy, Neglect is considered where it is the primary focus of concern. It is acknowledged that the concept of Neglect is known to be an element of other areas of abuse.
However the effectiveness of adults' caring responsibilities can be adversely affected by lots of pressures such as:
- Mental health issues and/ or learning disabilities;
- Physical illness or disability;
- Learning difficulties;
- Domestic abuse;
- Use of drugs and/or excessive alcohol use;
- Homelessness;
- Bereavement;
- Financial pressures;
- Family breakdown/dysfunction.
The position of the whole family needs to be considered and understood as the welfare of children is best served through supporting those looking after them, but the focus must always be on improving the outcome for the child. It also has to be established if the neglect of the child is a transient episode or is entrenched behaviour by the adults.
In some families the approach taken by carers is one of "high criticism/low warmth" and whilst this is neglectful of children's emotional needs, it is an aspect which can be amended through work with families at as early a stage as possible. With Early Help arrangements, describing this aspect can lead to early and sustainable approaches to parenting, and converting this to positive parenting.
A child's needs also change over time, and every child is different. Each child will have different responses and personal resilience to their situation based upon the child's age, ability, disability, behavioural difficulties, experience, understanding, mental health and additional support. Staff working with families should also be conscious of the need to recognise that children's growth and development can differ significantly and care should be taken to ensure a clear understanding of when developmental traits are outside the expected levels for children generally and are potentially more attributable to Neglect.
4. The Role of Early Help in Addressing Neglect
The impact of Neglect on children is often accumulative, advancing gradually and imperceptibly and therefore there is a risk that agencies do not intervene early enough to prevent harm. It is important that all agencies identify emerging problems and potential unmet needs seek to address them as early as possible. It is equally important that practitioners are alert to the danger of drift and 'start again' syndrome.
In order to address Neglect in Lincolnshire it is important that agencies effectively use the Early Help framework to assess and plan services for children and families. Likewise it is important that any intervention with families is co-ordinated appropriately to enable parents to sustain the changes in care given to children.
5. Impact of Neglect on Children
Neglect is dangerous and can cause serious, long-term damage - even death: Davis and Ward (2012) found that the risk of fatalities from neglect may be as high as that from physical abuse and the risks of further abuse are higher with neglect than other types of abuse.
Neglectful parenting is most damaging in both the early stages of life and in the teenage years. A longitudinal study commissioned by the NSPCC found a strong correlation between the neglect and maltreatment of adolescents and poorer emotional wellbeing, including self harm and suicidal thoughts (NSPCC 2012). Children who receive care which is unpredictable, rejecting or insensitive are more likely to develop attachments which are less secure.
Children who have experienced neglectful parenting may have:
- Poorer emotional knowledge and be less able to discriminate between different kinds of emotions;
- Lower self-esteem and higher levels of emotional problems;
- More aggressive than children who are not neglected; and
- More uncooperative and noncompliant;
- There is also a related impact on children's social development: the evidence suggests that neglected children are more withdrawn and socially isolated and less socially competent than their peers.
(Safeguarding Children across Services (2012) Carolyn Davies and Harriet Ward)
Neglect can be far-reaching in its consequences for a child. Not only will the experience of it make a child's life miserable but it can affect all aspects of their development. It is also likely to influence the relationships they make with others in both early and later life and have an impact on how they parent their own children. (Howarth, 2007).
Extent of Neglect in Lincolnshire
1 in 10 children in the UK have experienced neglect (Branson et al, 2012). In Lincolnshire neglect is the primary reason for concern in 41.6% of cases (compared to 42.2% nationally) where children were subject to plans at initial child protection conferences.
Over 21,300 children in the UK were identified as needing protection from neglect last year.
Nationally neglect is a factor in 60% of serious case reviews.
In Lincolnshire in the year 2013/14 there were 5162 referrals to children's services which cited neglect as a factor, and 959 re-referrals cited neglect as a factor.
275 children becoming subject of an Initial Child Protection Conference had Neglect cited as a plan category reason during 2013/14, whilst for 40 children subject to a second or subsequent Child Protection Plan, Neglect was cited as a plan category reason.
7. Strategic Objectives
- Promote a common awareness and understanding of what neglect means in Lincolnshire and the effects upon children.
- A common understanding of Neglect between and within agencies is crucial to allow effective identification and a common language;
- This will be achieved by ensuring that the strategy is agreed by LSCB and LSAB by improving and establishing a strong professional base for identifying, understanding and managing situations of neglect with clear and agreed multi agency approaches;
- Ensure a whole family approach is embedded within all multi-agency assessment cultures;
- Ensure continued multi-agency training in early identification and help for families.
- Minimise the incidences of neglect for children and the repeat incidences of neglect for children.
- Ensure consistent use of Pre-Birth Protocol (see Pre-Birth Protocol);
- Ensure after any multi agency plan that the family has an agreed "keeping it going" plan (aimed to keep standards of care raised and when to ask for help). This plan should become known as the "Keeping it Going Plan" (similar to the "Exit Plan" which is in common with practice within Families Working Together);
- Improve the recognition and assessment of children living in neglectful at an early stage and increase early help provision through Team Around the Child (TAC) arrangement (see Team Around the Child Supporting Documentation);
- Clear and robust thresholds as identified within "Putting Children First (Meeting the Needs of Children and Families in Lincolnshire)" should be utilised;
- Increase ongoing support through consistent 'step down' to TAC after Child in Need or Child Protection Plan end.
Ensure the effectiveness of service provision
- We will continue to use the Signs of Safety approach which helps adults and children and workers to understand what needs to change and what needs to be done, by whom and by when;
- A multi - agency audit, which includes families and children, must be developed to quality assure processes are being followed, starting with quality auditing of TAC;
- Ensure that audits of families' situations focus on sustained improvement;
- To provide practitioners with effective skills and tools to work with families experiencing Neglect;
- To support practitioners to resolve common problems when working with families experiencing neglect.

SPIDER-MAN/VENOM Event Coming In 2017, Spider-Changes Coming Too?
The recently-launched Venom series is jumping forward and going big this May with what Marvel is describing as "The Biggest Venom story in ten years!" Revealed by way of an insert in the Inhumans vs. X-Men calendar sent to retailers this week (via ComicBook), in May 2017 the publisher plans to release Venom #150.
Looking closer at the insert, illustrated by Adam Kubert and Dean White, Venom is carrying Spider-Man up the side of a building. It's interesting to note that this Spider-Man is wearing a different costume than the one currently worn by Peter Parker - it lacks the glowing Spider-emblem the character has had since 2015's Amazing Spider-Man #1.
The February-solicited Venom #4 promises that both Spider-Man and Mac Gargan will appear in that issue of the series, meeting the symbiote's new host, Lee Price. Series editor Devin Lewis told Newsarama recently that there are plans for Eddie Brock in relation to the book as well, and factors into a "momentous occasion" planned for Venom.
"I can say we do have plans for Eddie Brock. I can't say what they are, but stay tuned," Lewis said. "In terms of other editorial goals, if readers look closely, there's an anniversary of some kind coming up and it's kind of a momentous occasion."
May 2017 would be the 29th anniversary of the debut of Venom from back in May 1988's Amazing Spider-Man #300. The symbiote itself debuted four years prior in Secret Wars #8.

Trend Micro's Titanium Maximum Security 2011 suite promises lots on the surface. One program that handles spam, parental controls, data theft prevention, smartphone protection and more. However, it's competing in a seriously saturated market, facing competitors such as Norton, Bit Defender and PC Tools, so can it stand out, or is it just another internet security suite?
Titanium Maximum Security boasts a quirky interface, not too dissimilar to that of PC Tools' internet security program. It's easy enough to get around, if not slightly unconventional, and somehow manages to fit in more features than one can shake a stick at. Seeing as there are so many features to cover, let's drill through them one by one.
On the main screen of Titanium Maximum Security, you will find anti-virus protection front and centre. When running a scan, you can detect viruses and spyware, as well as any web threats that are present as well. Naturally, I took the liberty of infecting Windows with as many viruses as I could get hold of on short notice (to be honest, it really isn't difficult…), and ran a scan to see how many the software would detect. To my surprise, it found the vast majority present, only missing one obscure trojan I ran across. Not bad at all.
A nice addition to the security scanning feature here is the ability to see a history of your threat level on your machine. This is represented via a chart, which will show you when you had more threats, and when your computer was relatively safe from malware. Statisticians, eat your hearts out.
Parental Controls
Child safety on the internet is a big issue right now, and most probably will be for as long as the internet is in existence, so parental controls are ideal for any parent that's worried about what their child is browsing on the net. In Titanium Maximum Security, you can set these controls up straight from the main window.
You can assign controls to each account on the computer, and choose from an abundance of prepared settings. Of course, you can tweak these settings as much as you want, but for the user that wants to click a button and be done, this is an ideal approach.
Secure Erase
A feature that caught my eye when I was testing Titanium Maximum Security out was the ability to securely erase a file. Normally, when you delete a file, the computer just tends to write a few 1's and 0's over the data that you had, and it's quite a bit easier than you'd think to restore deleted files again.
When you choose to securely erase some data with Titanium Maximum Security, you can choose to quickly or permanently erase it. Obviously, the permanently erase option is more secure, and random data is written over what you are deleting so it's much more difficult to recover, even with the right tools.
After using Titanium Maximum Security 2011, I've grown rather fond of it. Despite jamming a lot of features in to a single program, the interface is easy to manage, and the features easily accessible and effective.
If you're in the market for a security program, you may want to add Titanium Maximum Security to your list of "maybes". At £59.95 for a years protection on 3 PC's, it's a tempting offer.
Hoping to study Computer Science at University in the near future, you'll seldom see John without a computer in touching distance! His interests include building computers, reading all sorts of literature and of course writing for Zath to keep you updated on all the latest in the world of tech!

Towards crowd justice system, barbarism and a banana republic: And India is below Pakistan in Happiness Index!
Ranjan Panda
A dalit being beaten up just for touching an upper caste fellow is nothing new in India. What's new is an assembly suspending an MLA for not chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai.' As if this chant was part of the oath to be taken and the MLA refused to do so, hence failing to oblige to his constitutional duty.
It is also new to see growing examples of Muslim and Kashmiri people being killed or beaten up, or even arrested for 'rumors' about their eating 'beef.'
There are many such examples including the Patiala Court incidences where 'advocates' holding national flag and chanting 'Vande Mataram' abused women, beat up journalists, students, academicians and public. An MLA too delivered crowd justice in front of the court premises, by beating up a political activist.
A pattern is visible. One rumour is spread or a dictum is given. Rumour such as the 'beef eating' and dictum such as chanting the 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' (or else you are anti-national).
And then, a group of people jump into action, street justice is meted, Parliament is made to debate, then some MPs/MLAs/Party workers issue many kinds of barbaric warnings against anyone who is anti-national according to them.
Heads and tongues are wanted and rewards worth crores are offered for anyone who can bring these 'anti-national heads and tongues.'
TV debates aid these happenings, some even play party to fuel these acts of dividing the country.
Doctored videos, howling anchors and trending TRP become the norm of the hour. Nation does not discuss vital issues like farmer suicides, robbery of banks by greedy corporate houses, drought, atrocities against tribals and dalits, fake encounters of tribals to benefit mining companies, so on and so forth.
Some men in the highest ranks of power remain mute spectators, some play party to all this game. Many of us too fall prey to the design and play our own part through bits and pieces.
As the nation keeps engaging in all these barbaric and stone age happenings, the promises of economic progress, jobs to unemployed, etc. are conveniently forgotten; deadly bills such as the Aadhaar is passed in the parliament, Vijay Mallya is aided to leave the country, justice for Rohith Vemula and other students elude, fake certificate case of the HRD Minister gets further delayed in the courts of justice.
Environment laws are tweaked to give rise to crony capitalism, Ambani registers highest ever profit due to global slump in crude oil price but consumers keep paying through noses for petrol and diesel, so on and so forth.
What also happens is that India's billionaire tally in the Forbes List rises up to be at the 3rd position, but India continues to remain a very underdeveloped country at the 130th position of Human Development Index.
As acts of divisive forces and hate brigades keep increasing, India discovers itself lagging behind Pakistan, Bangladesh and China in the World Happiness Index.
Development, the rhetoric, slips to an illusion. One suddenly discovers thyself cursed to be living in a stone age of 21st Century. It's difficult to find out whether time has failed us or we have failed time!
(Note: This article is not in line with objectives of this blog. However, some issues affecting the country have potential to impact all spheres of actions. Hence, I thought of posting this one as a general piece of thought. I regret the inconvenience to readers of this blog who don't expect such an article. Please bear with me.)

Sometimes getting motivated to exercise can be harder than the workout itself. That's why it helps to think of your gym time as a middle school dance: You're going to feel awkward and hug the wall until a really great song comes on.
With that in mind, we're rounding up our favourite workout tracks, from fresh remixes to old favourites. Get ready to catch yourself humming through your jog, training circuit, or yoga practice. And, don't worry, Beyoncé makes an appearance.
Don't be surprised if you end up keeping a steadier pace while listening. Music with a strong beat has been found to help people's movements stay consistent during exercise.
Today, we've added new tracks from Franz Ferdinand, Weezer, and more.
Thanks to music from Lorde and Post Malone, this is the playlist to get you moving — the gym's never been so much fun.
Break a sweat to new tracks from Avicii, Kesha, and more.
If you can't listen to another happy hardcore remix of the Chainsmokers, check out this hip-hop workout playlist instead.
If you're more into cheese, give this guy a go:
And for those into rock who like their gymming with a slice of nostalgia, here's one for you.

Fellow word nerds, gather round, as we take a moment for one of our top pastimes, checking out the new words added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary this month.
(Other favorite pastimes, by the way, include doing the Sunday Times Crossword, and practicing yoga breathing when our kids text words like UR and YE.)
In all, there are 850 new words and compounds (if we're going to be exact about it), but here are just a few favorites of mine that stand out. Some are so very 2018, some — well, honestly I'm surprised they weren't already a part of the dictionary.
Now go forth and embiggen your vocabulary
wordie: Basically, you, if you're reading this post.
self-care: Yes, this is in the dictionary! (We could have predicted that.)
glamping: Love the word or hate it, it's now legit.
mansplain: The first known use of this word was actually 2008; the first known mansplaining, however, goes back to the first known man.
life hack: Parents are already the masters of this one. (Though we remain fans of Parent Hacks, specifically.)
cryptocurrency: Believe it or not, the word has been around since 1990.
subtweet: You know who's good at this? The dictionary!
📈A fact is a piece of information presented as having objective reality. https://t.co/gCKRZZm23c
— Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) January 22, 2017
welp: Like a combo of "well" and "darn it."
ooh: This is new to the dictionary? What?
Chiweenie: Sounds like a hot dog you'd get at a Cubs game, but it's actually a Chihuahua-dachsund mix.
narcissistic personality disorder: You may have read about this oh…once or twice over the past couple of years.
dumpster fire: See above.
Dumpster fire stocking stuffer by Stitching My Sanity, from our 2016 Holiday Gift Guide.
dark chocolate: What? This was not in the dictionary already?
tzatziki: Don't eat Greek without it
kombucha: This one's for Kristen, who named this tea a Spawned Show cool pick of the week.
Harissa: Yum. The new dictionary words are making us hungry.
embiggen: Don't worry, wordies, this one may hurt, but Merriam-Webster describes it as "informal and humorous."
Still no "truthiness" in the dictionary, though. Or "alternative facts." Maybe next month.

Yes, we did all go out shopping on Black Friday. No, we didn't camp out. No, we didn't score an ipad for Carrick. But did we have fun together as a family? You betchya!
We lounged around in our jammies until 8:30 or so. By 10:00 we were rollin' up the hill on our way to Flagstaff. Our first destination was actually the food court at the Market Place Mall. It's right next to the shopping plaza with Best Buy and Old Navy, the two places where I wanted to kick off our Black Friday shopping spree. Corey bought an order of Chinese food at the mall, and told me I didn't have to contribute to half of it. What a nice way to start off the day. Instead of getting noodles or rice, they told him he could get mixed veggies. The "box" of food he ordered fed our entire family! They really packed it in there. That was actually Corey's "Black Friday Score". He spent the rest of the day raving about how good the food was and how inexpensively we all ate. He cracks me up.
We went to Best Buy after filling our bellies. While Carrick played on the demo ipad mini (some crab game of some sort), I left Corey talking with the sales clerk about various tablets. I took the opportunity for them both to be occupied to see if there was any sort of Christmas gift lurking in the mass of deals at Best Buy. I found two DVDs that Corey mentioned in passing a couple weeks ago. Since they were in the "super cheap deals" display, I put them in my shopping bag to keep them hidden. I also picked up a copy of Epic for Carrick for $5.00, and a copy of The Wizard of Oz for Lily for $4.00. As I was wrapping them this morning, it was so hard to write Lily's name on her DVD. I wanted to put my name on it instead. So, for $14.00 (with tax) I bought my family a round of DVDs for Christmas and capitalized on Black Friday.
Next, we headed next door to Old Navy. Wow....50% off the entire store!!! Wow, just, wow. I didn't know quite what I expected, but this made all the chaos worth it. I didn't spend any Fun Dollars there, but we did pick up a few things for the kids for Christmas. (I also managed to sneek in some surprises for Corey's Christmas presents.)
After our Old Navy and Best Buy run, we drove across town to Target. We needed a few household items, and I wanted to cross off the rest of my Christmas items from my list. Carrick needed a dress-up outfit for Church (our family is lighting the Advent Candle and doing the reading next Sunday). Lily needed a cardigan to go with her dress. There were a few other things we needed like tissue paper and tape too. The only thing I paid for with my Fun Dollars was a pure impulse buy. It was a bag of Reese's Pieces; like almost a pound of them....ooooh yeah! $3.00 for a secret mommy treat. I also use them for Lily's potty treats. She's still a super star with her potty training, and I notice that she's more into it when there's bribery involved.
Carrick was really excited to participate in Black Friday with us as well. I wanted him to make a smart purchase with his Fun Dollars, too. I talked about Black Friday with him on the days leading up to it. I explained what it is, why people shop, and how things cost less Fun Dollars. At Old Navy I successfully talked him out of buying some pink, sparkly stuffed animals. I didn't do this because they were pink, but because he literally has three Christmas tress stuffed with his animals, and some to spare! He is also getting some stuffed animals (from the friend who donated to us) for Christmas. So I really didn't want to see him spend his money on something of which he has an abundance. I gently reminded him that I was going to take him to Bookman's for a map, and he put the animals back in the bin. (I had suggested this early on in the week because he's been asking about maps.)
I didn't spend as much on Black Friday as I imagined I would. I am glad to have actually gone out shopping this year. Sure the stores were more crowded than usual, but they were not chaotic. Maybe it's because we waited until later in the day to get out. Any way you slice it, It was a great experience; mostly because I love wrapping presents so much, and now I have a pile of things to wrap for the people I love.
DVDs at Best Buy- $14.00
Reese's Pieces at Target- $3.00
Balance this pay cycle- $38.00
Happy Spending!

They know that the family couch should be off-limits for their sexy excursion, but that's part of the thrill! Hank sits back and pulls Peggy onto his lap, sitting her hairy cunt right onto his hard boner. He thrusts up into her tight heat while the evening news plays in the background, and the couple have never felt more kinky and sensual in their entire lives!
