.May is upon us
Spring has finally arrived and the Yorkshire Dales have sprung to life.
The sunshine has brought us spring with primroses and bluebells galore. There has also been lots going on at the farm. The lambs are growing and enjoying the fresh grass - the fields have been fertilised, and the lambs have moved up to higher ground. The scarcrows of Wray are out with the theme of explorers and the farm spring renovations begin. The horses too are now out in the fileds after a long winter and Koda is coming back into training after his 3 months rest following his injury. Golly too has come out of retirement and at the ripe old age of 26yrs is learning a new lesson - "Western" and is loving the experience!
Take a look at all the goings on in May and enjoy the photos.

Julian Nott, Jim Woodman - Flying with the Greats
This isn't the first time I've talked about flying here on this blog. Last time it was about my dreams of flight, but this time it's flight itself. It's a subject that runs through my novels. It's there in 'Mad Dog Moonlight's river running through the sky between the planets and stars; there in the boy in black's leap into flight on his motorbike in 'The Candle House'; there in Frankie and Charis's balloon flight in 'Flying for Frankie'; and there in my first novel, 'Midnight Blue', when Bonnie peels back the rim of the sky and passes straight through.
Yesterday I was privileged to have a fascinating email conversation with none less than the founder of the modern ballooning movement, and one of its greatest, most creative exponents, Julian Nott. This is the man who broke ninety-six British ballooning records and seventy-nine World ones; who designed and constructed the first ever hot-air balloon with a pressurized cabin, which he piloted to a world record altitude; and whose achievements are celebrated in the London Science Museum and the offical Space Visitor Centre at NASA headquarters in Houston, USA
Julian Nott's other - considerably lesser, of course - achievement is that it's thanks to him and the adventurer and author, Jim Woodman, that I ever came to write my first novel, 'Midnight Blue'. Back in 1977, the two of them built and flew a smoke-filled hot air balloon above the desert in Nazca, Peru, to prove, Kon-Tiki fashion, that the technology had been in place for manned flight to have happened in that region thousands of years ago. The photograph accompanying this piece shows them doing just that.
For many years I'd been convinced that ballooning would make a fascinating subject for a children's novel, especially a fantasy one where the balloon had magic powers. However, the mechanics of modern balloon flight sat uneasily with what I envisaged, and it was only when I read about this flight, with its firepits, smoke pits and dramatic launch at dawn that my imagination finally conceived the book which became 'Midnight Blue'.
Jim Woodman's book about the Nazca flight is called 'The Flight of Condor I'. Do look out for it. And look out, too, for Julian Nott's website [www.juliannott.com]. It makes for fascinating reading. In fact, it's worth looking up alone for the shimmering silvery-blue balloon on the home page. What a beautiful sight!
On his website, Nott talks about the intellectual courage to dare to fly - to 'dare to invade the territory of the angels'. Well, 'Midnight Blue' is all about a young girl who dares to do just that, with nothing but a bag of cloth powered by smoke and fire to transport her. In our conversation, Nott wrote, 'Please continue to inspire children. We live in an absurdly over-protective age.' Well, I hope the magic world to which Bonnie's smoke-filled hot air balloon takes her, along with her courage in making the flight, does indeed inspire, as does what she learns about herself in the world she discovers on the other side of the sky.
The publication date for 'Midnight Blue's 21st Anniversary e-book edition is 18th November. Do look out for it. A major celebration and website make-over will be taking place here on this site. Look out, too, for 'Fear of Flying' - another feature by me on the subject of flying, published today on www.authorselectric.blogspot.com.

New years aspirations3:58 PMJennie Barck
Whether people admit it or not, like everyone else I will be making new years resolutions this year as pathetic attempts to improve the quality of my life. Along with a bunch of other people too, I wonder year after year what it is about this day that makes everyone think they can somehow reinvent themselves and become someone completely different the very next day, when in reality you will probably sleep most of the day and wake up not remembering half of your resolutions. If we are so keen on improving ourselves why can't we do it any other day of the year? How about we start each week with taking a turn for the better in one aspect of our lives, ending up with an accumulated new, improved self. Surely this would be more effective than making unattainable and ambitious goals that need to be achieved by the end of the year. However, this day always brings out a group of new ideas in my head on how I could improve myself in one way or another. I have therefore decided to call these my new years aspirations in the hopes that I won't be so self-depreceating when I don't actually achieve them, and so that they can be more like guidelines for me to follow to someday become that perfect person. I wish you all the best for the year 2015 and hope you have a wonderful celebration with your friends or family, or alone if you so desire. So without further ado, here are my new years aspirations for the year 2015!
1. Instead of being nostalgic and looking to the past all time I will look ahead and plan the future.
For this I give all credit to this i-D article about how we are a generation of throwbackthursdays and flashbackfridays when there are exciting and interesting things happening in our lives right now. What I mean by this is more of that "live in the moment" crap and less of scrolling through pictures and thinking about the good old times.
2. Become more active in every aspect of my life
I want to do less of staying under my covers all day making excuses about why I can't do certain things and more of forcefully getting up, putting on nice clothes and putting on make up so I literally have to go outside and do something because I wouldn't want to waste a nice outfit. There are so many things I could be doing in a city like London rather than catching up on meaningless vlogs and keeping up with the kardashians.
3. To dress to express...
I've always been very basic and kind of shallow in the way I dress and think about putting together an outfit; it doesn't really require a complicated thought process of combining accessories and clothes, more like putting together a shit and pants that match. I want to experiment, make fashion mistakes and look tacky so I can find a style that expresses my mood, my values or my sense of fashion, and makes some kind of a statement about where I stand.

Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Member Randy Abbey is now the majority shareholder of premiership side Heart of Lions.
The former Kessben CEO is reported to have acquired 70 percent shares in the Volta Region club.
Consequently, he has resigned as chairman of the Referees Appointments Committee.
Confirming the story to DAILY GUIDE SPORTS, Randy, a former communications director of the GFA said, "Yes, I am now the majority shareholder of the club, but beyond that I wouldn't like to make any comment."
And by the new arrangement, the club's founder Victor Akpene Ahiakpor becomes a Board Member, with Randy expected to bring his rich football administration to bear on the team.
Heart of Lions finished fourth after the first round on the Premier League ladder.

"But although They no longer lived, They would never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their great city of R'lyeh, preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu for a glorious resurrection when the stars and earth might once more be ready for Them. But at that time some force from outside must serve to liberate Their bodies."
–H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
–H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
So whats in the box? and what does it add?
Arkham Horror the Card Game like Roland and Zoey. Again these can be used with the main game, or any of its expansison so always nice to get new ones.
Dr. Phillips has now come into possession of a strangely alluring amulet. It is the sole surviving artifact of a previous expedition into a remote region of the Pacific Ocean that had met with a disastrous end, and Mason has written to you that the odd trinket "calls" him to once again take up his search for the sunken metropolis. The good doctor has enlisted a crew to follow the amulet's clues, and he has asked you to join him in his mad oceanic quest. Though the legend of R'lyeh has never gripped you as it had Mason, the combination of certainty and intense fear in the tone of his letters has convinced you to join him on this dangerous expedition. Let's hope you don't regret leaving the confines of the museum...
The murky waters hide untold horrors in Elder Sign: Omens of the Deep, an expansion for Elder Sign, the cooperative dice game steeped in the lore of H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying mythos. Omens of the Deep adds the Pacific Adventure decks, new Mythos cards, The Ultima Thule entrance card, eight brave new investigators, and three horrifying Ancient Ones. The addition of mission markers and an array of new spells, skills, allies, and items will help you arm yourself for this voyage into long forsaken waters. Based on the popular The Call of Cthulhu expansion for the Elder Sign: Omens app, players can now venture forth from the within the familiar walls of the museum and board The Ultima Thule to combat the Ancient Ones that have begun to stir in the depths of the Pacific.
The Slumbering City StirsAs the weird glow of the amulet pulses and shines, resonating with an unknown source, your crew is drawn further and further into the unexplored reaches of the Pacific Ocean. Your steady progress will reveal new challenges as The Ultima Thule chases down the location of the lost city of R'lyeh. The Omens of the Deep expansion explores this through two stages of the R'lyeh Rising mode.
The R'lyeh Rising mode of gameplay features two stages, each with their own risks and rewards. In the first stage, you and your fellow investigators will navigate the Dark Waters track to explore the remote location to which the amulet has drawn The Ultima Thule. In the second phase, your team will assemble the Amulet of R'lyeh and collect Elder Signs to seal away the evils that inhabit the sunken city of R'lyeh, in an attempt to defeat the slumbering Ancient One. However, savvy investigators should beware of lingering too long in the dark waters or plunging too eagerly into the amulet's mysteries! Each stage is fraught with fresh horrors, so tread with care as you seek out the secrets of the deep.
A Fresh Fear of The UnknownThe dark waters of the Pacific Ocean conceal countless mysteries, and these terrifying perils lurk just beneath these frigid waves. Only by balancing calculated risk with careful exploration can the investigators hope to seal away the deeper darkness that stirs in the lost city.
An Army Beneath the SurfaceWhile R'lyeh sleeps, other denizens of the deep have already begun to stir and will stop at nothing to bring the Ancient One back to a waking state. The Deep One Legion is particularly tenacious. Even when defeated, these creatures will just slither to a new adventure and wait for another chance to strike unless extraordinary measures are taken to dispose of them. These formidable foes can also overrun The Ultima Thule, destroying the investigators' only safe haven.
The Amulet's PurposeThe strange force that pulses in the broken amulet has grown stronger since arriving on the outskirts of where it had first been assembled. When the investigators advance to the second stage of the R'lyeh Rising mode, the scenario card is flipped from the Dark Waters track to the Amulet of R'lyeh track. The amulet's surge in power can both help and hinder the beleaguered investigators as they face a power completely beyond their comprehension.
When the omen token would advance, a member of the Deep One Legion is repelled by the amulet's power, removing it from the game. If the omen token would retreat, then the amulet calls out to the city's inhabitants, and a monster appears. Savvy investigators will quickly learn to choose their adventures wisely, wielding the amulet with skill to keep the Deep One Legion at bay.
The amulet's fragments are scattered throughout the fallen city, and reassembling them will be no easy task. However, there are ways to mitigate this extensive search. If the investigators travel to R'lyeh in the second stage of the game by completing the Echoes of the Dream Special Adventure card, they'll gain a major advantage by starting the second phase of their mission with an additional fragment in hand. If they arrive at R'lyeh by any other means, they'll need to hunt down any remaining fragments in the second stage's more difficult Pacific Adventures, get a lucky break with a Mythos card, or perhaps require a brave investigator from their team to sacrifice themselves at The Citadel to gain one of the precious fragments.
Even with the mounting threats in the risen city, R'lyeh also holds the investigator's only hope of sealing away the threat: Elder Signs! Elder Signs appear with much greater frequency in the second stage of the game, giving your bold investigators a fighting chance against the might of the Ancient One.
All in all, with so many new bits its almost like a re-inventing of the game, its a new scenario, and new investigators to use in other scenarios to. The way FFG can just come up with something that feels different, and fresh is amazing without taking away from the core elements of the game, and it looks beautiful too! So its well worth picking up, as you will love it if you are a fan of Elder Sign, or if you have not played it before, grab a copy of Elder Sign and dive into the world.This set is not easy though, but it is a great experience!
It comes in with an RRP of £24.99,and once more gives you a new way to play an already excellent game! so head on over to your local game store and grab yourself a pack.

Here you are using Excel Object Model. Where did you open Excel instance? (this post is under Access Modules section, so I think you are using this inside Access, not Excel). You must refer to a Range using a worksheet too.
Dim r As Range, c As Range
'The line below is where there is a compile error
Set r = Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown))
See here for use and examples

I am very much in deepwater here!!
Not so much, you just need to use valid code, that code is designed to loop through all the cells in the A column of a worksheet starting at A2. Each cell would contain a filename and it would move that file from "c:\temp" to "c:\temp\temp2".
You state you use access so immediately this code cannot work for you.
Where is your list of files? what are the paths to the two folders?
You only asked why the code doesn't work in your original question. Tell us what you are trying to do and why and we'll advice on what we think is the best approach.
Moving files can of course be done in Access.

Hi Jon
Thanks for explaining this.
I have some time on my hands today so I am trying to get prepared for a question that is heading my way for a project I have completed recently. And that is:
"After importing the data into Access from an excel spreadsheet I want to move the spreadsheet into an archive folder."
Private Sub txtMultiExcelSheets_Click()
Dim filepath As String
Dim User As String
User = Environ("Username")
'DoCmd.SetWarnings False
'DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE tblImportFromExcel.* FROM tblImportFromExcel"
'DoCmd.SetWarnings True
filepath = "C:\Users\" & User & "\OneDrive\Documents\Data\Functions"
If FileExist(filepath) Then
'Imports the spreadsheet into tblImportFromExcel
Call importExcelSheets("C:\Users\admin\OneDrive\Documents\Data\Functions", "MyExcelImport")
'Now move the excel sheet to the archive folder
MsgBox "File not found."
End If
End Sub
The Public Function is:
Public Function importExcelSheets(Directory As String, TableName As String) As Long
On Error Resume Next
Dim strDir As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim i As Long
i = 0
If Left(Directory, 1) <> "\" Then
strDir = Directory & "\"
strDir = Directory
End If
strFile = Dir(strDir & "*.XLSX")
While strFile <> ""
i = i + 1
strFile = strDir & strFile
Debug.Print "importing " & strFile
'Change to False if no columnheaders
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "tblExcelImports", strFile, True
strFile = Dir()
importExcelSheets = i
End Function

Marvelous, so the code you had before was about moving an entire folder whereas you only want a file.
Its actually super simple, VBA has a built in Name function that will rename a file, if the path is also changed the file will also be moved.
Here is an example (https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s3/win026.htm)
Name "C:\Users\Ron\SourceFolder\Test.xls" As "C:\Users\Ron\DestFolder\TestNew.xls"
Add that line and change the paths in it to refer to your Excel file and the location you want it saved to and you are done

That's good to know about the Name function (documented as the Name statement).
Now, if only VBA Help hadn't become absolutely worthless in Access 2016. The web version of Help doesn't even have Search functionality, much less a convenient functions reference. I'm still looking for a reasonable alternative. Access Help is moderately helpful, but rather limited.

Hi David,
The VBA reference link within that link is what shows up when I try to use VBA Help. However, while it seems to have links to a lot of details about a lot of things, I miss having a convenient reference source for looking up functions and having the arguments and return type listed in a summary description. I can mostly get to where I need with Access Help, which lets me look up VBA functions, but I didn't think it was broken, so I don't know why they "fixed" it.

According to Notch's blog, the Minecraft Beta 1.5 Update released on April 19, 2011 contains some pretty cool new features to this already amazing sandbox game. The new game enhancements include:
Weather including Rain, Snow, and Thunder Statistics Achievements Detector Rail Booster Rail Performance Enhancements Notch says that currently the statistics and achievements are stored locally, so I would hold off on uninstalling your game until they implement a server-side storage solution. He also says that more stats and achievements will be added over time, so this could be a very cool update.
I haven't actually been in-game that much recently, so these new enhancements should be a pretty cool site to see the next time I play.
Happy Mining and Crafting :)

Third BioWare Teaser Blows Up The Neighborhood
A new teaser for BioWare's unknown project has arrived, and the more teasers that come out, the weirder things get.
In this 30 second video, called "Impact," a young girl stands outside on a sunny day, continuously chanting, "It's not my fault," as she looks at an obliterated house, sounding something like this. It looks like the house has sunk into the ground, but it could have very well blown up too. We're not really sure what happened to the house, but it sure as heck isn't a house anymore.
With three teasers out now and GamesCom next week, we've come to the conclusion that we're going to find out what this game is all about next week at the German game convention. The safe bet is that this will be BioWare's new IP that was mentioned during the EA E3 conference in June, and that's supported by EA filing a trademark for "Shadow Realms" recently. However, BioWare has been known to tease misdirections, so we're going to hold off on our predictions until GamesCom next week.
BioWare is specifically teasing their own fan event during the show, which will be in the Cologne Marriott Hotel on Aug. 13 at 3-7PM CEST. There will be a livestream on Twitch at 4PM CEST for those not in attendance, so keep an eye on it for breaking BioWare news.

text: Bigbrakeupgrade.com supplied the brake conversion components for the 2016 "Slammer Chevelle" When Rich Downing contacted us for help with the Chevelle we were honored to help. The timing was perfect as we had just finalized our front short spindle AFX brackets for the brembo calipers. The Chevelle had belonged to GM since new and was used as recently as 2008 to test crate engines GM Performance parts offered, article here. The Slammer Chevelle was going to use Ridetech`s Air ride system with the Tru turn spindles which have a 2 inch drop but offer a taller upper ball joint mount to improve handling. The 12 bolt rear end was already in production with Drive train specialties and the Chevelle was designed to run 18 inch front wheels and 20 inch rears which were perfect for the C7 Z06 brakes that Rich wanted to use. The Chevelle was treated to our short spindle bracket kit and forged aluminum hubs with extra length ARP wheel Studs. The rear 12 bolt was treated to our modular rear conversion brackets for the early 10/12 bolt rear axles. Rich wanted to keep a parking brake so our CNC billet aluminum spacers were also employed. GM performance parts supplied the C7 14.6 and 14.4 two piece slotted rotors and also front 6 piston calipers with matching 4 piston rear calipers. Read about it here!


text: Konami Digital Entertainment has announced that the popular trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh! has received a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling trading card game to date. That would put it ahead of giants like Magic: The Gathering and Vampire, which might be hard to believe for followers of these more "hardcore" fantasy card games. However, this record was recorded based on the 22,587,728,173 cards that had been sold as of April 2009, so it probably won't hold this record for too long. The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG first shipped in 1999 – so if another TCG can exceed this number in a 10 year period, we'll have a new champion. For those who don't know, Yu-Gi-Oh! is the official trading card game counterpart to the popular Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime series, created by Kazuki Takahashi.

Although not as extensive or numerous as hoped, it was nice to walk for a couple of hours in the desert at about 650 feet in altitude and in the middle of nowhere to then be in the presence of something so primitive and ancient. It was refreshing and stimulating.
My main surprise is that these paintings (if real) have not faded much if at all with years faced with wind, sun, rain, critters, and people. I say, if real, because I do not know how to test if these were not just painted there a few years ago to attract tourists even though it is part of an archeological park. I know I am probably overly skeptical but our guide did not seem to appreciate the question when posed to him.

It was great to be back in nature after hours on the plane or on the road visiting family members in cities. It was grand to be where it is warm and sunny again, especially during the winter.
We welcome seeing things we do not completely, nor will we perhaps ever, understand. Mysteries are part of life and I think they humble us a little while keeping our creativity alive trying to figure out what they may have meant. I don't think we'll ever look at a cave or wall under an overhang by a streambed the same way again. We would hope to find another historical gem while walking the beautiful deserts of Baja or beyond.

By: Ali Cappetta and Maggie MacDonald, Communications/Digital Strategy Committee Members
Former Penn State PRSSA President Kristin DeRosa embodied everything that is post-graduate goals at this month's general meeting. She discussed her experience working in crisis communications with the chapter.
Kristin has worked at Burson-Marsteller, a leading global public relations and communications firm, since graduating Penn State in 2012. She became acquainted with the company through their ten-week internship program, which she highly recommended to the students. DeRosa proved to be an on-the-spot thinker and problem-solver through her career examples.
Attendees were taught that crisis is, "a sudden, unexpected event; a situation causing a serious disruption; or a severe loss of confidence," as defined by DeRosa – all things she, and Burson-Marsteller, are fully equipped to handle at any given time. The world renowned firm has dealt with some of the most famous crisis communications cases to date.
DeRosa credits her abilities to experience and to classes she took at Penn State. In particular, DeRosa recommends that students take Steve Manuel's crisis communications class (COMM 373).
DeRosa's crash course in crisis communications 101 taught the audience the seven crisis management principles. Kristin stressed to always do the right thing, always link communication to action, take appropriate ownership of the crisis, assume that all information is public information, communicate early and communicate often, beware of the false dawn of premature recovery, and always be prepared with a plan.
The crisis communications expert ended her presentation with two quotes that she felt embodied crisis communications as a whole. One quote was by Henry Ford and the other was by the late and great James Brown, who said, "If you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready."
Take it from DeRosa and James Brown: preparedness is key.

"No one is you, and that is your power." -unknown
Hello, Everyone!
Before we talk about Thanksgiving, what would a post be without a little talk about some good tea?! So, I discovered a new hot drink that is not only great tasting but great for the body and health: all you need is a wedge of lemon, a mug of hot water, and a couple cloves. And there you have it. It is suppose to be good for cleansing the body and supports great digestive health. So, If you want something light to drink that tastes good, but isn't strong like coffee or tea, here is your drink!
Now, Thanksgiving. As Thanksgiving was winding down and everyone had survived the annual food comas, I was sat by the fire thinking and observing the world around me. It is a humbling experience sitting back and taking it all in: people laughing in the kitchen, new mothers rocking their baby, and the smell of apple cinnamon filling the air. The annual Pictionary war and festive table setting always bring the seasonal feelings around.
Now it is all over. So I am sat on the couch, most people still sleeping, wishing that tomorrow was not Monday and that we could pause time, and this weekend can go on for a tad bit longer.
But the good thing about one event ending is that there is always something else to look forward to. So, here is my new countdown: there are only three more weeks until finals are over and I can lie around in sweatshirts and be lazy, and eat food all day, and watch the Hallmark Channel from day to night. But until that time I will be on Pinterest, living my festive dreams through holiday pins and pinning festive food, and looking forward to the festive occasions ahead.
To contribute to this festive time, it is time for the"Special Announcement" that I mentioned: I am so excited to announce that I will be doing Blogmas this year! If you have never heard of "Blogmas", it is a blogging/vlogging event where bloggers or vloggers post everyday until Christmas Day (so basically, 24 posts in December). I am super excited! I hope you are able to join me on this adventure. Let the festivities commence…
All the Best,
PS. If you want to be updated on the festivities I have planned, follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest! (Links are on the last footer) 🙂

Agree that this is a time when we need to redefine our offer to make us distinct from other providers
and to deliver more clearly on our mission and values. I think there are two ways of doing this. Firstly, integrate the project approach into the mainstream and branch programme. To a certain extent we have done this in Scunthorpe for quite a long time but it is often difficult to involve the targeted students in the branch because of the the short term nature of their course involvement.
However, it is possible to raise branch members' awareness of targeted work and special projects
and for them to feel some ownership, through the branch, of this kind of work. This means organisers sharing their project plans with branches and not regarding it as something which need not concern them.
Secondly, to get a wide a cross section of the community into mainstream / branch provision so
that the interaction of different backgrounds and views serves a real social purpose although demonstrating the outcome of this is difficult. I think where you can demonstrate social impact, this is fine, but if you can demonstrate the student mix, course content, learning method and good attendance this should be sufficient. Our funders must be dissuaded from a utilitarian approach
to education. Payment by results went out in Victorian times.

I think the project idea is well worth some experimentation. Were we to say – for instance – that we want all provision in area X to assist towards greater community involvement then tutor recruitment, course Aims and Learning Outcomes etc. would have to be based on that intent. It would not restrict the subjects offered but it would restrict the nature of the 'delivery'. An art class would no longer be able just to be an art class with no further purpose than to enable students to learn and to paint and to be happy. No it'd need to be more than that. As well as learning the basics of painting the tutor would need to encourage discussion on issues affecting the local area. Perhaps the students would be asked to paint something about the area and how they view it and maybe they could paint how it could be: a utopian vision even! All sorts of things could develop out of this type of approach. The same would need to apply to any course in the area.
But I also see no reason why this cannot apply to all our provision – project or not. What we need to develop, discuss, argue about and then agree on is what exactly we mean by social purpose education. It seems to me that there are some certainties: critical thinking is one and affecting positive social/political engagement and change is another. Underpinning the notion of social purpose education is a view of a better society (Tawney's tolerable society). That has to be a more equal one (The Spirit Level), one where more people participate and see the purpose in doing so and one where the state has a positive and purposeful role to play. It's one where there is anger at oppression and exploitation in all its forms and a general sense of responsibility to be involved and to help create change. I think it's certainly one which applauds public service – and puts public service back on the agenda – and challenges the belief that the private sector is by definition good and necessary in every aspect of our lives.
We should be far more demanding of our tutors when developing courses. Are they wanting to work for the WEA and commit to what we stand for or not.
I won't go on but suffice it to say adopting a social purpose agenda does mean taking sides!

This is the Paper we have awaited for so long- since March/April 2005 to be exact, when Pete and Peter Templeton set out their 3-year plan to shape the WEA Curriculum.
-10 Curriculum Areas, each with a curriculum leader in every Region supported by a national network
"The intention is that the curriculum leaders and teams begin to actively shape the way we provide that subject area. We want to see sharing of good practice to make greater use of the creativity and initiative of WEA course tutors" Sound familiar? Here are the new REMs in embryo.
Equally crucial, the article emphasised the importance of " educational and transferable problem-solving skills"; In the context of standards and quality assurance the writers affirmed that these are"about ensuring that students are provided with a challenging learning experience in which we develop their understanding of the subject as well as their skills in learning".
The blog on "Why I like projects" follows on from this earlier work. Project work should be viewed as working towards integration into the mainstream.
Pete believes we should aim for" a position where the mainstream is continually refreshed by work that starts off as a local project". He advocates usinga "social purpose"/project methodology WITHIN the mainstream. Again, yes!
Hugh Humphrey highlights some difficult issues of this approach, especially the difficulty of integrating the targeted students into the Branch at the end of a project- branch members need to have an awareness of the targeted project work- and( here perhaps a spot of "social purpose "comes in?) to ensure the branch members can feel some ownership of the work.Yes.
DMetters too raises important points about a "core curriculum" which could become possibly too prescriptive( shades of the National Curriculum!) and importantly, non-responsive to local needs.
Jol Miskin raises an interesting point – again on the restrictive or even prescriptive outcome suggesting " Then tutor recruitment , course aims and learning outcomes would have to be based on that( ie the specific project) intent."
Yes, this is an issue, but if I revert to Pete's comments on SKILLS, and quote from the Scottish Executive definition of Adult Literacy and Numeracy , then for me this could be the start of what could be a coherent Core Curriculum, developing generic skills, which are valid for all Projects, for all courses, and which surely are those which many of our target groups need to give them confidence, "thinking" skills, to enable those who need to, to gain employment, feel happier and more confident to be engaged within their communities.
The title of the 2007 Conference was "The Public Value of Adult Learning; who benefits?"
In 2009, it was "Skills for Social Justice".
This year it was "Equality, Inclusion and Actiion in Adult Education."
'Nuff said?
So, here is that quote:-
"The ability to read,write and use numeracy, to handle information,to express ideas and opinions,to make decisions and solve problems, as family members,workers,citizens and lifelong learners".

I fully support Pete's ideas about projects. As Take Part, LFCI and a number of recent citizenship focussed activities have demonstrated, we need to step outside our mainstream provision if we are to be meaningfully responsive to local demand and innovative rather than reactive in terms of informal adult and community learning.
Jol's point about discussing what we mean by 'social purpose' education is valid and part of a dialogue we need to have if we are to successfully mainstream work developed through projects and break down barriers between community learning and branches. It seems to me that there are two major blocks to this at present. Firstly, projects frequently draw down development time (funds) which is vital to initiate projects, broker partnerships and engage with new learners and new styles of learning. If we are to look at evaluating success in terms of community outcomes, project development/outreach time is even more critical.
Secondly, while our projects are successful in geographical pockets or on small scales, I wonder if they fail to grow into something more spectacular because there are too many fire fighting demands on Tutor Organiser's time to give the amount of attention needed to reflect; discuss, refine, synthesize them, and re-pilot them or roll with out into new areas. I believe any framework designed to capture and grow project successes would need to take onboard these issues.

Mary Hunter permalink
Yes, breaking down the barriers between community learning and the branches is a vital issue; equally the point you make about the tutor organisers/Programme Area Managers.
They certainly cannot find that time to "give the amount of attention needed to reflect etc", but are not these skills and requirements to build on projects( eg) exactly those which a future Regional Education Manager could/should have to ensure projects can be rolled out more widely?
Richard Crisp permalink
"The benefits to the Association as a whole are evident but the 'lead region' will also gain by recognition of its expertise and broadening of its identity beyond geographical location."
One reads of regional 'successes' in WEA News and in reports, but quite often such successes are hyped or prove to be unsustainable.
One of the tests of New Look, will surely be whether or not inter-regional tensions are reduced and co-operation engendered. For lead-regions to really be effective in implanting 'success' in others, some resource incentive will be required for the former, and real commitment from the latter.

East Webster boys pull away to land spot in district title game
Calhoun City has seemingly owned the basketball series over East Webster for the last several years and most of the Wolverines had no clue what a win over the Wildcats felt like until they got it earlier in the year.
East Webster head coach Michael Seger felt like that played a factor in Thursday afternoon's semifinal game in the Class 2A, Region 2 Tournament in Cumberland and it took a while for the Wolverines to realize they were superior.
When they did, though, it was game over.
Led by 12 fourth-quarter points by Isaac Patterson and a 14-0 run in the final frame, East Webster clinched a championship berth winning 68-55.
"Our team just came together and played together," Patterson said. "Our team symbol is a fist and it symbolizes us coming together as one. The seniors responded. We expected to win so we motivated each other to do better."
Patterson was steady for all four quarters in the game but showed up the biggest in the final quarter. He finished with 25 points on 11-of-14 shooting in the game. It helped the Wolverines (21-4) get past their shooting woes from distance as they went 7-of-27 from 3-point range.
Art Thompson also finished with double digits as he scored 12 points.
The game had a frenetic first few minutes as East Webster fired up some missed 3-pointers but were out to a 10-6 lead within the first 3 minutes. It slowed down the rest of the quarter and the Wolverines led Calhoun City 14-12.
It was 28-21 at halftime but East Webster couldn't help but feel points were being left on the court. The Wildcats had held the Wolverines to 2-of-18 from long range while East Webster hit 10-of-12 inside the arc.
The missed shots allowed the Wildcats to stay in the game and eventually take the lead on a 9-0 run midway through the quarter. The Wolverines eventually got that lead back with the 46-43 advantage after three quarters, but it was very much a game at that point.
"I thought we kept settling," Seger said. "I told them in the fourth quarter that we were the experienced team and we had more weapons than they do. We were patient and shared the ball well."
Patterson scored six points in the middle of that 14-0 run that pushed the lead to 60-43 and Calhoun City never got back in it. It was as high as 20 points with 1 minute left before the Wolverines won it by 13.
That now sets up a championship game showdown for East Webster Friday night at home against a talented Leflore County squad. The Wolverines have clinched a home game in the playoffs next week, but a win gets them two of them and means that the road to Jackson would go through Cumberland.
"I feel like we're playing well, but we're not at our full potential yet," Patterson said. "When we play at our full potential, that's going to be fun to watch. We need people to come out and support us now."
Girls Game
Winona 21, East Webster 19
The Lady Wolverines gave up one point in the final quarter, but it wasn't enough as they fell by two points in the semifinals of the Class 2A, Region 2 Tournament.
Isha Patterson was East Webster's leading scorer with six points.
"I did a poor job of having us mentally ready for the game," Seger said. "That was totally on me. This is no time to sit around and cry about what happened. We've got to bounce back. I think they'll respond and we'll play more like I expect us to (Friday)."
As great as the Lady Wolverines were on defense Thursday night, they struggled mightily to score points themselves. East Webster finished the game 6-of-42 (14 percent) from the field but 12 free throw misses loomed even larger in the loss.
The Lady Wolverines (14-11) trailed 6-3 in the first quarter and 13-11 at halftime, but the third quarter was the difference in the game. Winona expanded the lead to 20-13 and that was ultimately enough.
East Webster cut the lead to 20-19 with 1:30 left in the game and had numerous chances to take the lead but baskets wouldn't fall and neither would the free throws.
The third place game in the tournament is set for Friday at 4 p.m. when the Lady Wolverines play Leflore County.

Research Topics
Principal Investigator: Gabriel O Aisemberg
Abstract: The goal of this proposal is to establish a collaborative research program between laboratories at the Biology Departments of Lehman College (City University of New York), a predominantly minority institution, and of Columbia University, a major research institution in New York City. The main research aim of this project is to study the role of homeobox genes in neuronal differentiations. Homeobox genes of the vertebrate Hox complexes and the insect homeotic complexes (Hox/HOM genes) are expressed within specific anterior-posterior domains of the central nervous system. The expression patterns of Hox genes suggest a combinatorial code whereby different regions of the nervous system are specified by certain combinations of Hox genes. Certain developmental anomalies of the nervous system found in mammals (including humans) can be traced back to Hox genes. These genes code for homeodomain proteins, a family of transcription factors. It is thought that they control the expression of batteries of genes that specify the particular properties of cells. The Hox/HOM genes are conserved in all animals examined thus far. Our knowledge of Hox/HOM gene function at the single-neuron level is presently quite limited. To improve this situation, it is advantageous to have the ability to study the function of these genes in individual, identified neurons whose properties are well known or easy to study. Nine Hox/HOM genes have been cloned and partially characterized in the leech Hirudo medicinalis. These genes are expressed in different but overlapping sets of neurons. Preliminary results in the leech system support the hypothesis that Hox/HOM genes control the establishment of neuronal identities during development. The objective of this proposal is to test this hypothesis in the leech, a system very suitable for the study of the individual features of neurons. This project intends to study whether neurons that express the same Hox/HOM genes share particular characteristics, such as neurotransmitter type, expression of marker molecules, or axonal morphology, and whether the experimental induction of Hox/HOM gene expression can change aspects of the identity of neurons.

The National Credit Union Administration Board has approved payment of up to $50,000 for costs associated with a data breach at Palm Springs Federal Credit Union of Palm Springs, California.
NCUA said it will pay the credit union for activities such as credit report monitoring for members, credit union staff time associated with the breach, and legal fees. To date, the related costs associated with the data breach are approximately $36,000. Payments will come from NCUA's existing operating funds. In the event costs ultimately exceed $50,000, subsequent Board action would be required.
As a result of a failure to follow longstanding agency policies on securing sensitive data, a thumb drive given to an examiner was lost during an examination of Palm Springs Federal Credit Union. The thumb drive did not include passwords or PINs. NCUA has received no indication of any unauthorized access to members' accounts or attempts to gain improper access.
The agency also said it is taking appropriate action with staff involved in the incident and is reinforcing training on protecting sensitive information and reviewing regulations, policies and procedures in this area. NCUA is also moving as quickly as possible to consider and adopt additional safeguards to protect electronic data.

Moms are mire often than not the one behind the camera trying to capture their kids childhood. I.am certainly no different. My kids see my camera out and they say "cheese" (or looking away if feeling shy that particular day).
But yesterday I made a tiny effort to make sure there was at least one picture of me with my kids. So they know how much I loved being home with them.
I love it. Because I know I took it just after we got done with a water fight (all of us were more than a little wet). A water fight where there were belly laughs in "getting mom" with the water and squeals of fun anticipation as I chased them with my own water supply. It was a fun summer day filled with great memories.

(Washington, DC — January 5, 2015) – On January 6, Republicans will take control of both the House and Senate for the first time in nearly a decade. Their majorities will be clear.
Deciding who will be their Speaker is not as clear.
The 114th Congress' House will consist of 246 Republicans and 188 Democrats. The 435th member, New York Republican Michael Grimm, resigned today after being charged with 20 counts of misconduct related to felony tax fraud.
But Republicans are learning that controlling Congress doesn't necessarily mean the enemy is anyone from an opposing party. Republican infighting may bring down the lovable, chain-smoking Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) before he gets to enjoy a solidified majority.
"Many don't like [Boehner] because he doesn't appear to be conservative enough," said a political scientist, speaking on condition of anonymity. "And they believe that you're either ultra-conservative or you're pro-Obama. And being pro-Obama is embracing both Obamacare and the Devil."
Indeed, President Obama (D-IL/Kenya) is a polarizing figure that is easy for opponents to rally against. But he's not even in the middle of this fight. Republicans lost Boehner's lieutenant – House Minority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) – during the 2014 primaries, and now may be preparing for an unprecedented wholesale change in leadership.
"Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will be Senate Majority Leader tomorrow," said a political scientist, speaking on condition of anonymity. "And he's said his priority is to show average, ordinary, everyday Americans that Republicans aren't as 'scary' as they may seem. Given this controversy from Day One, I think Average, ordinary, everyday Americans will see they have plenty to be scared about."

Today's SHARE experience: A Skype call with my friend Shannon who lives in Tallinn, Estonia.
I last saw Shannon eighteen months ago (give or take) at her going-away party here in Springfield. Since then, we have just tracked each other through email updates, blogs, Facebook, etc.
But today, from the second my phone connected to her computer, it was like no time had passed. A friend of hers was sitting nearby and asked, "When was the last time you saw each other? It's like you saw each other last week."
I love those kinds of moments. I love those kinds of friends.
I have plenty of those kinds of friends. And this year I will have more of those moments.
Shared passion, shared joy and shared experiences know no physical distance. Location and time are relative when hearts plug into the same grand story. Kindred spirits, Shannon and I will carry on with our individual assignments knowing that our very similar jobs in very different contexts work toward the same end: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matt. 24:14).
I am immensely proud of my friend and her journey to Estonia. I miss seeing her here in Springfield, but I don't want to see her anywhere else in the world right now. Except maybe in Budapest this summer, when we'll be roommates for a week.

Futuristic Cop Tom Cruise heads the "precrime" division of the D.C. police department, which uses three young "precogs" who see murders before they happen. The culprits are arrested prior to their dastardly deeds, which prevents the murders. It seems an infallible system - until it "red-balls" him. Cruise's character, John, has thirty-six hours to prove his innocence while on the lam from his own police force and an FBI agent (the red-hot Aussie Collin Farrell) who wants his job. The film has a climax reminiscent of Harrison Ford's "The Fugitive", but the back story involving the disappearance of John's young son gives this futuristic thriller/adventure a substance missing from most. Masterful direction and vision from Steven Spielberg, of course. Parents take strong note of the PG-13 rating. This is not a "family friendly" movie.

What does it mean to be a good role model?
Your role is vital when it comes to your daughter's self-esteem. In fact 54% of girls cite their mothers as their primary role model*.
Every word, sigh, pinch of a thigh, or negative comment she hears can have an impact on how she sees herself. As she develops a sense of identity in the world, she will model her beliefs about her self-worth on the relationships she has with close members of family and friends.
Parents play such an incredible role in modelling healthy and positive behaviours, so try to think of yourself as a mirror, reflecting back to your daughter what beliefs she should form.
But the reality is that just because we are a mother doesn't mean we are immune to the same pressures. You may tell your daughter she's beautiful every day, but if she hears you constantly criticising your own body, she might feel she has to judge herself in a similar way.
Body image around the world
When it comes to beauty, women remain their own worst critics. Global research shows only 4% of women consider themselves beautiful.** Other research shows women are much more critical of their appearance than men, and much less likely to admire what they see in the mirror. It's easy to see this attitude is being passed on to tomorrow's women. So what can we do to help our daughters avoid this?
We can be the force to help change this and help our daughters critically interpret appearance-related pressure.
"Your children are keen observers and she'll be more apt to feel confident to raise tricky subjects with you when she sees you act with integrity", says clinical psychologist Dr. Tara Cousineau. "She has to know that you'll listen and help her without judging or jumping to conclusions."
54% of girls cite their mothers as their primary role model, according to the 2010 Dove Global Study.
Psychologists suggest aunts, older sisters or female adult friends can also play significant roles in girls' lives by being other trusted people they can talk to. Having other female confidants also lessens the intensity in the mother-daughter relationship.
