We are working through Bayh-Dole's definition of "subject invention" at 35 USC 201(e). For an invention to be a subject invention, it must meet every element of the definition. Folks can't just say something is a subject invention and by doing so make it a subject invention–though this is what many university administrators try to do in practice. Similarly, just because folks say an invention is not a subject invention, it does not make it so. The definition of subject invention is placed in federal patent law. (Bayh-Dole amends federal patent law–that in itself is really, really strange.) Thus, "subject invention" defines a new category of invention in patent law–there's invention and now subject invention.
Here's 35 USC 101:
Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title.
Here's 35 USC 261:
Subject to the provisions of this title, patents shall have the attributes of personal property.
Bayh-Dole introduces new conditions and requirements on inventions that meet the definition of subject invention. The conditions upon which patents may be obtained, and the attributes that those patents have, are then based in whether Bayh-Dole's conditions and requirements apply. If an invention is a subject invention, then the attributes of any patent obtained are subject not only to patent law generally but specifically to Bayh-Dole's statement of policy, and other conditions and requirements. Bayh-Dole makes its policy, conditions, and requirements imposed on patents on subject inventions a matter of statute, not federal contract.
We now turn to two restrictions on subject inventions having to do with when an invention is determined to have been "made":
conceived or first actually reduced to practice
The terms "conceived" and "reduced to practice" come from now obsolete patent law having to do with establishing who has been first to make a given invention in cases where multiple patent applications have been filed on the same subject matter. Thus, these are not terms of scope but rather terms of chronological priority that are being repurposed in Bayh-Dole. The reasons are long and involved, so like most everything else in Bayh-Dole, we are in TL;DR territory. The short of it is that Bayh-Dole, to be able to preempt other federal law and executive branch policy on ownership of inventions made in work receiving federal support has to be as broad as any of those laws and regulations.
To be this broad, Bayh-Dole had to take into account Mine Safety Appliances (1966). In this case, a court determined that a helmet design invented at the University of Southern California "on the side" as it were to a US Navy research contract (physiology testing as part of a broader Navy project to design better head protection for pilots) was within the scope of the research contract in determining that the federal government was entitled to a license to the invention. The new helmet design was then "conceived" within the scope of the federal contract even though USC insisted that no federal money was used in developing the helmet.
One can see how a court could reason this way–if whenever an inventor got an inventive idea relevant to the objective of a given federal purpose while working on a federal contract, he or she could simply shift any work on the new idea out of the federally paid-for work and prevent the government from having any right to the invention. This would all the more be the case for investigator-proposed scientific research, in which the deliverable is the performance of the research that's described–and that description of research to be performed necessarily does not include what hasn't been invented yet. But if the exchange is that the federal government should have a license to anything invented in work receiving even partial federal support, then it should not matter whether the federal government funds the inventive work directly or just funds some part of a project where inventions come about in other parts. So long as the government provides some funding, somewhere in the project, at some point in time, anything inventive in the project should be subject to a government expectation of at least a license. Thus, if one "conceives" an invention in a project that otherwise receives federal funding, then if the invention is owned by a federal contractor, then Bayh-Dole applies and the invention is a subject invention.
There's a second case, coming after Bayh-Dole was passed and revised–in re Eddie L. King (1987)–that helps to understand the "first actual" that's inserted into "reduction to practice." Actual reduction to practice takes place when testing is necessary to demonstrate that an invention performs in each of its elements as conceived by the inventor. In the King situation, Eddie King, a civilian employee working for the Air Force figured out (in 1969) a better design for shipping pallet couplers. He built a prototype, and prepared a patent application, but didn't file it until after the Air Force had tested the prototype in its applications. When the tests proved positive, King filed his patent application–which did not incorporate any results from the Air Force testing. A patent was issued to King (1972) and later (1983) he brought an action for compensation for the Air Force's use of his inventive pallet coupler. The Commissioner of Patents decided that the first actual reduction to practice took place by the Air Force before any patent application had been filed. Even though King had done all his development on his own time and with his own resources, the first actual reduction to practice had been done with federal resources. Thus, the government has its license.
The in re Eddie L. King case was decided under EO 10096 applicable to federal employees, not Bayh-Dole, but the decision does set out what "made" means in the context of inventing and "conception" and "first actual reduction to practice." Perhaps of most importance, the decision hinged on whether testing was required to demonstrate that the invention would work as conceived. The Commissioner reasoned that the Air Force had tried numerous pallet coupler designs and none had worked as expected. Thus, so the reasoning went, testing was necessary in the case of King's coupler design. Building a prototype was not sufficient. Nor was a full specification of the invention in the form of a draft patent application.
Now make the jump, then, to pharmaceutical inventions–Bayh-Dole's ground zero for policy–where these conditions also apply: discoveries or inventions of compounds or methods with claims of therapeutic value may be reduced to practice in the form of prototypes and specifications but until there is testing in humans that demonstrates safety and efficacy, the invention cannot be demonstrated to function for its intended purpose–it has not been first actually reduced to practice.
The "first actual reduction to practice" may well be a necessary step for proving that a given invention functions as conceived–even if the invention is otherwise patentable and data from a clinical trial is not included in a patent application. In addition, then, to statements of work for federally funded research or development that specify that a prototype will be constructed or a prototype will be tested, the scope of "first actually reduced to practice" includes work that requires an additional set of testing to demonstrate that the invention performs in its intended environment. In the case of compounds identified as potential medicines for humans, until there's testing in humans, there's not first actual reduction to practice. That this matters will be evident from the discussion of the next bit of Bayh-Dole's definition of subject invention.
in the performance of work under a funding agreement
Bayh-Dole substantially changes the FPR's "in the course of or under this contract." "Under" a contract means something along the lines of "specified" by the contract. One looks to a statement of work. "In the course of" means "what was done to do what was specified." There is an analog in liability arising in master-servant treatments of employment. A master directs a servant to accomplish a task. That's the "under" portion. The servant decides the means to do so. That's the "course of" part. "Bring us pizza!" Employee calls in an order, and drives his car to pick it up. Under and in the course of covers both elements. If the employee is involved in a car accident on the way back with the pizza, even though use of the car was not specified in the employer's specification of work, the employer is still (arguably) also liable for the accident, as it arises in the course of the employee's work.
In the case of procurement contracts, something similar is at work. The commissioner of research and development seeks not only the deliverables that are specified but also what has been discovered or invented or gathered as the contractor goes about the work. Indeed, in contracts for the procurement of research services, the only deliverable that can be specified is the conduct of the research–everything else that matters arises in the course of what the investigators actually do.
To get at these issues, Bayh-Dole defines a "funding agreement" and directs this definition to a "work" (activity, project) that receives at least partial funding from the federal government. This is *way* different from the FPR's approach. Bayh-Dole's definition expands the "funding agreement" to include anyone that a federal contractor adds as a party to the funding agreement–for instance, by assignment of a subject invention. Thus, people who receive no federal funding, if they have agreed to be added as parties to a funding agreement, may make subject inventions, even though they personally do not have access to or use any federal funds. What matters is that the "work" of which their activity is a part receives federal support.
The "performance of work under a funding agreement" therefore is much broader than "in the course of or under this contract." The "work" under the funding agreement is the "experimental, developmental, or research work funded in whole or in part by the Federal Government." Think about it this way. Establish a project–the "work." Now ask if any part of the project has received federal research, experimental, or development funding. If so, any invention made in the project–when owned by a party to the funding agreement–is a subject invention. It does not matter whether the federal funds are directly accounted for in the making of any given invention–what matters is that the invention was made somewhere in the project and the project somewhere received federal research or development funding. See 37 CFR 401.1 for an awkward explanation that stumbles its way to this conclusion.
It is misleading, therefore to write "federally supported invention" or "invention made with federal funding" with the implied meaning "what federal money has been used to make." Rather, Bayh-Dole requires "invention made in work receiving at least in part federal funding." University disclosure forms that ask "inventors" (or "creators" or whatever) to identify the source of funds used to make the invention are utterly skew from Bayh-Dole's definition of subject invention. What is necessary to know is the scope of the project in which the invention has been made, and whether that project has received federal funding, even in part. Even then, things may be open ended, since at any time a contractor can add other contractors.
For instance, a non-profit contractor can assign an subject invention, and in doing so the receiving party is required by Bayh-Dole to accept the nonprofit's patent rights clause–making the receiving party a party to the funding agreement, and therefore a contractor, and therefor inventions made by this new contractor, come within the scope of funding agreement–and therefore of the project.
Another instance. A university states in its written policies and descriptions of its invention licensing office that it will seek to develop inventions it owns into commercial products, such as through licensing. Those statements then necessarily extend the scope of any project that receives federal support. The project that the university has undertaken involves both research and commercial development of inventions as products. Federal funding comes to the university to support the research portion. Since the research portion is but one part of the project that the university has committed itself to undertaking, federal claims on inventions extend to inventions that the university makes and inventions made by anyone the university makes parties to the funding agreement by any assignment, substitution of parties, or subcontract of any type. It's all the more clear that this expansion is the case if the university in its written materials insists that Bayh-Dole requires the university to create projects of this scope, tying research discovery to commercial product development.
Any patentable invention made in the commercial development of a subject invention by employees of a company that has been made a party to the funding agreement, when owned by a party to that funding agreement, is also a subject invention.
Let that bit sink in.

- Lots of ideas/opportunities but a lack of resource or time to accomplish them
These are symptoms of a much greater problem that is sometimes hard to see (that's the challenge), but easy to fix (with the right solution). You need two things:
1) Access to real professionals that have been in your shoes before, have seen it all and can say "This is what you need to do."
2) A Strategy and Playbook that will show you how to focus on the tactics that will have the biggest impact, simplify your process, let you execute on your best opportunities, and exponentially speed up your growth.
This is why we created BOLD University. To give you access to world-class business professionals in a full-day workshop environment where you get to actually see the Strategies, Principles, and Tools they have used to create massively successful companies and brands.

Drake just dropped his new single "Nice For What", which samples Lauryn Hill's 1998 track "Ex-Factor."
"Nice For What" was produced by Canadian producer Murda Beatz who worked on Drake's previous records, 2017's More Life and 2016's VIEWS.
Alongside the single, the Canadian rapper also released an accompanying video: an ode to female empowerment starring Rashida Jones, Tiffany Haddish, Tracee Ellis Ross, Olivia Wilde, Misty Copeland, Issa Rae, Jourdan Dunn, Zoe Saldana and more.
The rapper made a cameo at Majid Jordan's concert in Toronto on Thursday where he announced to the crowd that he would be releasing new music on Friday night.
"The reason I'm here tonight is because I'm back in the city finishing my album," Drake told the crowd. "I've got a new single dropping tomorrow night, too, just in case you got some free time."
Drake has already had an exciting year with the release of his two-track project Scary Hours and his emotional video for his track "God's Plan" in February.
The "God's Plan" visual captured the rapper making an array of kind gestures to both people and organisations, donating almost $1m – the budget for his music video.
Last month Drake also appeared in Migos' retro music video for "Walk It Talk It."
There is no release date set for Drake's forthcoming album.

The Volkswagen Transporter BlueMotion has been added to the company's commercial vehicle line-up. Clearly Europe's largest car manufacturer is keen to cut emissions on their cars as well as their vans.
BlueMotion technology is one of the best recognised green focused car systems in the world. It is largely seen on the company's marquee vehicles such as the Golf and the Passat. That has now spread to the Transporter Van, bringing C02 emissions down to 166g/km and fuel efficiency reaching 44.8 MPG.
The vehicle will come with a 2.0 litre TDI turbocharged engine, capable of reaching a maximum of 114 BHP. Overall, the vehicle is capable of achieving an outstanding 780 miles on a single tank of fuel. Compared to a standard model, the official MPG rating has improved by 7.1 MPG and its emissions have reduced by 32 g/km. An 84 BHP model will also be developed, capable of achieving 40.4 MPG, hitting 710 miles in total on a single tank of fuel.
The spectacular engine is just one part the vehicle's technology. Other features include low rolling resistance tyres, stop/start technology, battery regeneration and efficient cruise control. Equal tyre pressures are extremely important to keeping your vehicle as efficient as possible. BlueMotion technology comes with a tyre pressure warning light so the driver is aware of the vehicle's current status. Volkswagen has also revised their gear ratio in order to improve the vehicle's Bluemotion technology.
The new van is certain to be a big hit with fleet companies. Its excellent value and fuel economy ratings are sure to help push sales up.
In other news the new Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion brings down C02 emissions down to just 85g/km. It is still yet to be decided what trim the vehicle will be made available in. It could be made in both the S and SE trim. The new Golf reaches efficiency levels of 88.3 MPG.
The Transporter BlueMotion models will cost £18,770 and £17,290. We believe that the low power version does not represent the best value for money and will not sell as well as the higher power version. There really is not any need for that specific variant in our opinion.

Welcome to Brindle on Security
I'll start this blog by introducing myself. My name is Joshua Brindle and I've been working on security software and such for a while. About 4 years ago I started Hardened Gentoo which exposed both myself and many users to modern security systems available for Linux. This project has, in many ways, led me up to where I am today in my career and otherwise.
Today I work at Tresys Technology on research and development on security systems. My main project is the SELinux Policy Server, which is an opensource project working on policy management and policy access control for SELinux but I also help out with various other projects around the company.
While I don't have the 20+ years of experience that some of my peers and coworkers have I do believe that I have some unique insights that I haven't seen published or otherwise so I'd like to take advantage of the so called "blogosphere" to share them.
Hopefully, with the help of this and other blogs, we can help make security more prevalent outside of the security industry. Large strides have been made in this respect in the last year, especially the introduction of SELinux into a mainstream, general purpose operating system (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4). This blog will be more focused on security philosophy and theory rather than the practical and howto style posts of other blogs, such as Dan Walsh's.
That said, I invite requests for specific subjects in posts and I'll try to facilitate them if I'm able so keep reading and watch out for my first post, "The Myth of Least Privilege"

Armando wrote some 'functed up' code! Something even Mary Poppins and the birds would enjoy - "Feed the birds, Tuple a bag. Tuple, Tuple, Tuple a bag..."

Is a Tuple with four items a FourPle?
Mr. TA (nodebb)
Three items - threesome, four items - foreplay. Also the class should've been called TupleManager.
P (unregistered)
Actually Armando had not learnt about F#. What he learnt was C++.
Because this is totally what people do with template metaprogramming in C++. You know, with all the
std::tuples that is both rigid in shape, and type.
akozakie (unregistered)
IDK, but with five it's a Queen Tuple.
BernieTheBernie (nodebb)
Oh, that's called "Functional"? I never knew that my colleague Johnny who always seemed to me a C programmer, is actually a functional programmer. He loves to write code like
private readonly Dictionary<int, Tuple<int, int, int>> m_CanDataBitPositionsStart = new Dictionary<int, Tuple<int, int, int>> { {SomeType.CAN_CANNON_ID_36, new Tuple<int, int, int>(SomeType.PDO_04, CanDataHelper.BYTE_IDX_0, CanDataHelper.BIT_IDX_0)}, ....
Brian (unregistered)
My pet-peeve: misspellings in function names. Or is "flattern" some kind of newfangled way to mangle a simple conditional statement?
Little Bobby Tables (unregistered)
I hear you bruv.
Mine own pet peeve is "An error has occured", especially when it can potentially arrive in front of the customer.
Anon (unregistered)
Better than displaying "Error -1" to the user, which what our legacy product does whenever anything goes wrong (and soooooo useful in tracking it down).
Chronomium (unregistered)
To me, spelling functions wrong isn't just a peeve, it's a clear sign that whoever wrote the code is careless, and is probably causing other "not paying attention" problems elsewhere.
Or doesn't have [local language] as a first language, but as far as I'm concerned that's no excuse. You chose to work in [foreign country], the onus is on you to pay extra attention to use [local language] correctly.
Purple (unregistered)
Or you could do the sensible thing and submit all your code in English. Seriously, English is to us software devs what Latin is to doctors. There is simply no excuse to not use it exclusively.
Geoff (unregistered)
Isnt the TWTF that Armando's code got past the code review?
koekum (unregistered)
That's just short for the flattening pattern, flattern
bradwood (nodebb)
The writer was just trying to flatter with his flattening.
Naomi (unregistered)
The "functional" part is that functional languages emphasize recursion in their data structures as much as in their algorithms.
If you want a more specific example, let's look at Haskell. For some type
a, a
List ais either the empty list
[], or a pair of an
aand a
List a(which is actually just another way of describing a linked list -
[]works like the
nullsentinel at the end of the list).
Of course, Haskell's type system is actually set up to handle this properly, so the developer only needs to think about it when it's convenient. OTOH, the way "Armando" is using tuples is evocative of a functional language's recursive data structures, but without any of the things that make them worth using.
Perri Nelson (unregistered)
No, you misread that... It's "flatter n" :). The problem is you can't use white space in an identifier and they haven't heard of camel case, Pascal case, or snake case.
Herr Otto Flick (unregistered)
A flat Tern is what you get when you cross a seabird with a steam roller.
Little Bobby Tables (unregistered)
Maybe "flattern" is the Old English past tense of the verb "to flatter", as "spoken" is the OE past tense of "to speak" and "done" is the OE past tense of "to do"?
Deez (unregistered)
Is his emulating a list with tuples?
emurphy (nodebb)
"Long live the thrupple!"
(I'll get me coat)
sizer99 (google)
In German, flattern is fluttering or wobbling, for instance: 'seine Lippen flattern, aber es kommt nichts Nützliches heraus' -> 'his lips are flapping but nothing useful is coming out'. (I apologize in advance to native speakers, I am not one). And it works, because this code is pretty wobbly.
Also, I do 'functional' programming in C# where I can, because idempotency is wonderful for maintenance and not having ugly side effects. I just do it the sane way, with homogenous Lists and HashSets, which C# supports and encourages with LINQ. It's not Haskell, but it's not this nested <<<><><<>><>> vomit either. If you can't look at it and immediately know what it's doing, it's bad code.
Mr. TA (nodebb)
You definitely went all the way to F# there. I hope I'm not the only one looking up "thrupple" and being pleasantly surprised.
Anon<Action<Expression<Func<A,B>>>>>>>> (unregistered)
I hate to say it but this is mild compared to what I have seen in C# code. Once they discover how to manually build up an Expression<> objects so you can write generic meta methods to build up Linq queries, you are in deep shit. They will break, and there will be an urgent fix that depends on you untangling that meta-code or rewriting a large swath of the app. Good luck.
Simon (unregistered)
@Chronomium - agreed. Spelling errors don't always mean bad code, but they're certainly a strong warning sign that the developer isn't paying much attention to details.
capt bullshot (unregistered)
Flatter-Tulpen? WTF? That's what I read on the first glance. Did make sense the same way the rest of the code did ;)
Bobcat (unregistered)
. . . You are a horrible person and Christmas is ruined.
Now if you will excuse me, I need to take my Sick Tuple to the vet.
NULLPTR (unregistered)
Syntax Error: Unexpected > at Line 1 col 36

SarcasmUndetectedError or SarcasmOverflowError?
chucker23n (nodebb)
works like the null sentinel at the end of the list
Fun fact: The Null Sentinel is also the name of a cancelled Kiefer Sutherland movie sequel.
Of course, Haskell's type system is actually set up to handle this properly, so the developer only needs to think about it when it's convenient.
Most people solve this by not thinking about Haskell at all.

There are roughly 700-800 ICF/IID programs in Texas and all have a need for consents to meet the federal and state standards. Sometimes the two, federal and state, can appear to be at odds with one another, but regardless of your view on that issue Texas has a specific avenue to obtain consent for just about any issue. In the ICF, you need consent to spend money on a t-shirt up to consent for psychotropic medications. I work with facilities that have upward of five different types of consents depending on the person's ability (client).
There is an easy way to decide what type of consent is needed in Texas. You have only a handful of avenues as described below:
- Guardian - no matter what age the guardian gives the approval for just about everything including psychotropic medications.
- Surrogate Decision Maker - an involved family member can give consent for just about everything except psychotropic medications and certain medical procedures - but very limited in that area.
- Person - the person (client) can give consent if the IDTeam has assessed them to have the ability to give informed consent.
- IDTeam - when a person can not give consent, the IDTeam can give consent for things like spending, and daily needs, but can not for medical issues, psychotropic medications or highly restrictive procedures (usually restrictive behavior plans, etc.)
- Supportive Decision Maker - not really making a decision, but providing the information to the person (client), giving him or her options and then providing the person's answer back to the IDTeam - this helps when a person needs support to make decisions.
- Surrogate Decision Making Committee - a group of volunteers through the state makes decisions on anything not reserved for the Surrogate Decision Maker, or the IDTeam - can make decisions on psychotropic medications, medical procedures, and restrictive procedures.

Hey everyone! We just moved onto the water in Florida and now have our H18 on a lift. This is super exciting, except for the fact that we have a sometimes long paddle via canal to the open lagoon.
I'm familiar with the Cheetah Mount, but would prefer something that is cheaper and less permanent, to mount a small trolling motor. My thought was something that attached to the front crossbar, and held a trolling motor that could be swung up to the side. I could use drill motors for the 5 minutes of power I need to run through the canal to/from our house, then go under sail after.
has anyone seen/come up with good DIY designs for the same? if nothing else, a good clamp to attach to the front cross beam? another thought i had was to add another cross beam, and figure a way to clamp it to the hulls (which could be challenging since they flex around a bit)
i do want to be able to continue to sail this vessle (primarily) so a lot of the mods where you screw a bracket in and sacrifice use of the traveller, etc. don't work for me.

Season 2 of AMC's The Terror anthology series delivers the requisite supernatural horror.
But the real horror in The Terror: Infamy, which launches Monday at 9 p.m. ET, lies outside the purview of demons. It lies in what people do to each other.
The second season is primarily set in one of the internment camps in which Japanese Americans were herded during World War II. The show's title, Infamy, alludes to the speech that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and propelled America into World War II.
"A date which will live in infamy," Roosevelt called it.
Hastily erected in response to American fears that some residents of Japanese descent might be more loyal to their ancestral homeland than to their current country, the camps were cold, crowded, dirty, and dehumanizing. They were prisons for the innocent, and their legacy was sufficiently appalling that 40 years after the war, Congress voted reparations to internees as a gesture of acknowledgment and apology.
As gestures go, it was modest. Most internees, even if they survived the Spartan conditions, lost everything. If they had businesses or homes, they were gone. If they had bank accounts, the money disappeared.
Few U.S. TV producers or moviemakers have tackled internment camps, perhaps correctly sensing the subject isn't something most Americans today want to think about.
So it's a smart move that the Terror team doesn't frame Infamy as just a story about the camps. While it's set in a camp and follows characters whose lives were permanently altered by the camps, it's framed inside that supernatural horror element, which spans time, generations and international borders.
All of which sounds pretty vague.
On a more concrete level, the story begins in late 1941, just before Pearl Harbor, with the Nakayama family, who emigrated from Japan some three decades earlier.
Fishermen by trade, they settled on tiny Terminal Island in San Pedro, California. The patriarch Henry (Shingo Usami) is still a working fisherman.
He has a classic immigrant story. He worked hard, kept his head down, and said, "yes sir no sir" a lot. His American dream was to save enough money to buy his own car, and after 20 years he did: a big black Packard with the spare tire encased on the front of the passenger side running board.
His son Chester (Derek Mio), born in the U.S.A., has a classic second-generation story. He loves his parents, but his dream is to get off Terminal Island and absorb America. He went to college in Los Angeles, and now he aims to become a magazine photographer.
His father cautions him against trying to assimilate too far and too fast, so he shares more of his dreams with his more simpatico sister Asako (Naoko Mori).
At school, Chester meets Luz Ojeda (Cristina Rodlo), who's not from his culture, and that in turn leads him to a mysterious woman named Yuko (Kiki Sukezane), who will play a prominent role in his life. And perhaps in the supernatural part of The Terror.
As every viewer will quickly surmise, the plot kicks into gear with the attack on Pearl Harbor, which turns growing suspicion of Japanese Americans into anger and rejection.
That obviously has a direct if differing impact on the Nakayama family. Henry Nakayama is among those quickly rounded up by the military, with the initial explanation that it's merely a temporary protective measure.
When protection turns out to be an internment camp, Henry discovers the further bad news that the supernatural force, which he once hoped to leave back in Japan, has not only followed him to America but now to the camp. Just what everyone there needs.
But just as with, say, The Walking Dead, the supernatural forces aren't the biggest danger here. The demons in The Terror: Infamy are going to have to take a number.

Fisker Atlantic Specs Leaked: 300 HP, 0-60 MPH in 6.5 Seconds
Fisker revealed a new car called the Atlantic at the New York auto show earlier this year, after long promising a new, more affordable vehicle. Compared to the pricey and luxurious Karma, the Fisker Atlantic is meant to be a more affordable extended range electric vehicle. Until now, however, Fisker had revealed very few details on the new car, but fortunately documents leaked online give us a better idea of what's under the hood.
As in the Karma, expect the Atlantic to be driven by electric motors, with a lithium-ion battery recharged by an on-board gasoline engine. The Karma uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter General Motors engine, but Fisker announced last fall it had signed a deal to use turbocharged four-cylinder BMW engines. Now we know how powerful they will be: according to these leaked documents, the BMW turbo engines will provide 300 hp in the Atlantic.
The leak also tells us that Fisker expects the Atlantic to hit 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, yet produce just 50 grams of CO2 per kilometer -- a low number that beats out current eco-hybrids like the Toyota Prius. The Karma manages the 0-to-60-mph run in a claimed 6.3 seconds.
Fisker will apparently price the Atlantic from $50,000 to $60,000, and lists among its competitive vehicles the Audi S4 and A6, BMW 3 and 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz C- and E-Class, and Jaguar XF. We were previously told the Atlantic would be about the size of an Audi A5, and that it would be priced on par with the BMW 3 Series. Still, the predicted price range is only about half the entry price of a Fisker Karma, which starts at $103,000 after a $1000 destination charge.
Though recent reports had cast doubt on whether Fisker would use its Wilmington, Delaware, plant to build the Atlantic, these leaked documents confirm that the former GM factory will indeed assemble the new car. Production has been somewhat delayed, however, as a Department of Energy loan was frozen, causing Fisker to scramble for private sources of capital. Now it seems that the Delaware factory will be tooled for building the Atlantic from now through 2013, with the first prototypes assembled in mid-2013. Series production of the Fisker Atlantic is now scheduled to start in mid-2014. At the New York show, Fisker claimed the Atlantic would be on sale by the end of 2012.
Of course, there are still several more vehicles in the Fisker pipeline. The company has already shown off its Surf shooting-brake and Sunset convertible concepts, and also is said to be developing a small SUV.

Consider a day, any day in your life. You plan your day in advance so that it can go smoothly and if anything unexpected comes along you usually have the ability to deal with it. For example, on an ordinary day you get up, take a bath, eat breakfast, get ready for school, university or office, have your means of transport all set and you go about your day as you had planned it. You follow this routine religiously throughout the week. What if on any day your car breaks down, you have only five minutes to decide how effectively you can commute to your work place before getting late. You might take a bus or a taxi or a lift from your friend. As adults we think up of ways to deal with contingencies. As parents we have many alternative plans because the number of contingencies increases in direct proportion to the number of kids one has.
The thing is we plan for our entire family with kids having no idea how life is running so smoothly. We wake them up, make them eat breakfast, get them ready for school, teachers make them study, we set rules at home for play and study times and then finally we make them go to bed. Although they might not agree with our set routine but for their sanity and ours structure in life is important.
During an ordinary day , our NT kids are not really bothered by changes in routine. If anything unexpected comes along they might question about it and are easily satisfied with our answers. Problem arises when our ASD kids meet with a change they knew nothing about. They don't have any means to comprehend how come there was a change in routine and how to deal with it. As a result they become highly anxious which usually gives way to meltdowns.
My daughter, for example, knows what to expect on an ordinary day, but if we make a plan of going out somewhere we have to prepare her in advance. She has to know whether we are going to her grandparents, or her aunt, or a shopping mall, or seaside etc. She knows the routes too so we cannot fool her. If Im getting ready to go somewhere without her, I have to tell her exactly where I am going , for example, market, hospital or a party and with whom she is going to stay (usually her Grandma or dad). But she has come a long way and is at a stage where she can be satisfied with verbal description of what to expect each day. Many ASD kids, especially those newly diagnosed, have no idea about set routines. In this post I will suggest a few ways in which structure can be added to their lives that will help both the kids and the parents like it helped me and many other ASD parents.
For newly diagnosed kids picture schedules are a must have. Pictures are available online all you, as a parent, have to do is set up a valid routine that you are going to follow religiously for your kid. Get or make pictures for each activity of that schedule which is very easy to comprehend by the child and paste this schedule in a place that is easily visible to the child.
At home:
The schedule for the entire day at home can be like follows (you can make changes according to your lifestyle):
1. Washroom time
2. Breakfast time
3. School/work time(if there's any)
4. Bath time
5. Lunch time
6. Nap time (if there is any need)
7. Park time/ Play time
8. Study/work time
9. Dinner time
10. iPad time
11. Sleep time
This is a general schedule for the entire day. Each activity in the general schedule can further be broken down into smaller parts to help the child know what is expected of him in each activity. For example if it's washroom time, paste a mini schedule in the washroom for the child to know what to do in the washroom. For example:
General schedule:
Bathroom schedule:
At school:
If the child in question attends any school or rehabilitation center then you can add a schedule for all the activities he/she is likely to do there. For example for a rehabilitation center the schedule could be something like this:
1. O.T time
2. Speech time
3. Work time
4. Snack time
5. Music time
6. Play time
7. Home time
For a school the schedule can be something like this:
1. Assembly time
2. Circle time (for Montessori classes)
3. English
4. Recess time
5. Maths
6. Music time
7. Home time
For work time at home:
Someone asked me how to manage a newly diagnosed child's routine at home if he is not attending any kind of school or rehab? Well the general schedule for that child would remain the same as described above customized to the mother's daily routine. If you are working with him at home make a work schedule something like follows:
1. Puzzles
2. Numbers
3. Shapes
4. Colors
5. Alphabets
6. Writing
7. Fruits/vegetables
8. Animals/birds
9. Sorting objects (you can start sorting with two colors or two shapes)
10. Body parts
11. Matching objects (pic to pic etc)
These are just some examples of activities with which I started working with my daughter. Start with only two or three activities depending on your child's level of cognition. Then add up activities one at a time up to five activities a day in work time. Give breaks between each activity and use reinforcers (candies, chips, m&ms, or favorite toy), and lots of verbal reinforcers ( high fives, good job, yay etc) to keep the child motivated.
How to work with the child during the work time is a topic for another post. The purpose of this post was to show how schedules are setup to make life meaningful and easy for the ASD kiddos. There are a number of different schedules on the internet, especially Pinterest. Just type in picture schedules for Autism or PECS for Autism and your screen would start showing many pictures and schedules to choose from.
Remember the important thing is to use the schedule religiously and after a while your ASD kiddo would've learned his/her daily routine by heart. I hope this post about setting up schedules for an ASD child were of help.
Until next time

The Nursery Team
Thank you!
We raised a huge £352.00 for Barnardo's with our Big Toddle.Thank you to everyone who collected sponsors, you have made a big difference for children who need support.
Week 6
This week we have continued our interest in pirates. We made treasure maps and discussed positional language whilst placing the pictures on the map. We talked about the 'X' and why we have this on a treasure map. We also played 'Captain's Coming' in the outdoor yard and had to remember all the actions when the music stopped. These are the actions:
Can you remember the actions?
This week in Nursery we have followed on from our Big Toddle with a physical theme. The children were set physical challenges to complete in 1 minute. We felt our heart beating before exercising and afterwards and discussed the difference in our heartbeat and why our hearts need to kept healthy.
At home please discuss with your child what happens to the blood in the body as the heart rate increases with exercise and why exercise is so important to keep our bodies healthy and happy.
Week 4
The Big Toddle
Thank you to everyone who came along to join our Big Toddle for Barnardo's. We had a fantastic time and could not have wished for better weather! It was great to see so many 'plastic free' picnics. Could you please return your sponsor form and sponsor money by Friday 5th July, to allow us to total our fundraising and bank the money. Thank you for helping us to support Barnardo's.
Week 3:
This week we have been practising lots of pre writing skills within Nursery. We have access to pre writing activities in Nursery, daily. Pre-Writing skills are needed before any letter formation or other handwriting skills are mastered. To allow children to master writing they must first have:
Have a look through our pre writing photographs this week and try some of the activities out at home with your child.
Useful website:
Thank you
We have been exploring all things linked to Easter. We read the Easter story and discussed why Christians celebrate Easter. We have been on an Easter egg hunt and also decorated Easter baskets. We hope you all have a fantastic Easter break. Thank you for your support.
Following the interests of the children, we have been investigating shadows this week. What is a shadow? When can we see shadows? Can we always see a shadow?
At home try and find some shadows and investigate them. Add your shadow observations onto Tapestry.
Week 3 - British Science Week. Exploring materials and properties of materials.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Nursery this week to investigate. We had a super time. Which experiment was your favourite?
Morning Children -
Investigating and trying out experiments with adults.
Afternoon Children - Our visit from an engineer
Mrs Dewhirst came to visit Nursery in the afternoon. She is an engineer and her job is to help to design and build special things. She also problem solves when things go wrong. Mrs Dewhirst talked to us about electricity. She told Nursery what electricity is, where electricity comes from and what items need electricity.
Week 2 This week we have started to prepare for 'PANCAKE DAY' a day early. We made the pancake batter as a whole class and then in smaller groups helped (and taste tested) Mrs Roberts fry them in the nursery kitchen. Lots of children thought they tasted DELICIOUS! We are going to eat the pancakes at snack time tomorrow. Mrs Roberts might even have some 'yummy' toppings to choose from!
We also started looking at what happens when we mix colours. We used vehicles in the tuft tray and mixed their tracks to see if other colours appeared. We will carry this on tomorrow. The children's knowledge of colours is very good. Brown, grey and pink are the colours that some children need help with. Perhaps you can point these colours out at home and as you come to and from nursery?
This week we have been preparing for Mother's Day Sshhhhh!
We have sorted, counted, painted, planted and snipped sunflowers. We chatted about the life cycle of a sunflower. Can you remember what the super sunflower needed to grow tall?
We would love to hear about all the wonderful adventures and journeys you take part in with your family over half term! Please upload your experiences onto Tapestry and the children will share their experiences with their friends when we return to school.
Thank you
After hearing the story of Daniel and the Lions, some of the children made their own lions using circles and painting with forks to make their manes. We also learned about symmetrical patterns and tried to make them on the painting easel. We talked about Valentines Day and the children made cards for people they loved.
On Friday the children came dressed as animals and we talked about the work the PDSA charity do, and we made medals for our brave pets.
This week we have continued our Chinese New Year theme by making Chinese Dragons. The children improved their fine motor skills with their brilliant scissor work cutting out their dragons then colouring them in carefully. The children used their Dragon puppets to put on a mini puppet show. We also used our gross motor skills when taking part in our Cosmic kids Dragon Yoga, the children had some great moves.
For Re this week we all learned the hymn 'Thank You Lord for this fine day', then used our listening skills to match the rhythm with our instruments.
The children have been doing Yoga again this week, we also enjoy our wake and shake to Cosmic kids Washing Machine song, the children are great at following all the moves.
Friday was our spotty day in support of the NSPCC, so we had lots of spotty activities. Dot to dot, Mr. Tumbles spotty themed pictures to colour, buttons in the playdoh, spotty ladybirds to count, circles to cut and snip, circular bottle top collage pictures, dotty mosiac patterns and circles to trace with the push pins. All the children worked really hard so we had a special treat at snacktime.....spotty choccy chip cookies and pink milk.....of course we all had our healthy fruit too.
This week in Nursery we learned about Jonah and the big fish in RE.Some of the children helped sponge paint a huge whale for our display, whilst others used the large Lego blocks to build a boat like Jonah sailed on.
We also decorated special boxes and added special fairy ingredients. The children then found lots of rhyming words to help make a magic spell to give all the fairy boxes magic powers.

Stallings winning fans over with strong string of moves
By Jeremy Tepper / Senior Staff Writer
April 18, 2016
Kevin Stallings might not be who I thought he was. I thought he had peaked and certainly wasn't fit to replace Jamie Dixon as the new Pitt men's basketball head coach. Plus, with his seemingly testy personality, I thought he'd lose players to transfers. The first month of the Stallings era, though...
Q+A: Pitt coach Kevin Stallings talks team, conference and moving
By Dan Sostek / Sports Editor
April 7, 2016
New Pitt basketball head coach Kevin Stallings only knows how to get to three places in Oakland. He knows how to get to the Wyndham Hotel. He knows how to get to his office. And, recently, he learned how to get to the Panera Bread on Forbes Avenue. Stallings, along with longtime assistant coach Tom Richa...

Trade Show Booth Success Secrets | INDORSE
"Be audacious and memorable but smart and relevant." – Ken Krogue.
These could very well be your top secrets for a successful trade show booth. You must have noticed some booths doing exceptionally well at trade shows than others as if they know what exactly goes into the secret recipe of their success.
Good thing is, we have listed below that secret formula for you, which is applied behind every successful trade show booth experience.
1. The power of first impressions
Studies tell us that the first opinion of someone is formed in just one-tenth of a second. Not surprisingly, it works the same for brands as well. In fact, it takes one-fifth of a second to form an opinion about the design of a website when we first look at it.
A creative booth can give you a much-needed edge over others at the show. For example, check out this brilliant booth design. They seem to know exactly what their brand imagery is doing here. Make your booth stand out. It's all about first impressions.
2. The art of being approachable
In addition to having a creative booth look, it is equally important to make sure you have some friendly faces behind the booth to attend customers who might be looking for some additional information.
It also helps to have different display selections to appeal to different kinds of buyers. Since most of us prefer to see than read, it makes a high definition impact if interactive HD displays are enhancing the understanding of your products and services.
3. Think about how you invite
Appearing good is one thing, having people actually come drifting to your booth is another. More often than not, we all get attracted to places where we have more chances of getting 'something' in return.
Maybe you can introduce a game or two! Who doesn't like to win? Interactive activities, promotional giveaways, stickers, neon bands with your logo on it, are some of the things, which if worn/held by the attendees can leave a great impact on others too.
4. Make your products self-informing
It is possible that not all brands find a way to display themselves in an easy and creative manner. So, what do they do? They present their products and services in an interactive manner, which attract the crowd.
Touch screens are one such blessing which makes everyone want to tap a finger or two. Not only does this generate interest, but it also makes the attendees explore deep into the offerings and your brand in general.
5. People always remember an experience
We all are highly receptive to great experiences that leave a lasting impact. Charity Water has excelled this part of their marketing plan.
During one of the trade shows, they invited people to walk with 40lb jugs of water across 50 yards to give them a taste of what people in remote villages feel like while fetching clean drinking water from miles away!
Didn't it leave an impact just by reading about it? Charity Water created an experience, which visitors couldn't help but connect with. That's how powerful an experience can be.
6. Always count your top clients in
Do you think it will be great to have clients who are already invested in your products at your trade shows?
We think so! It is a lot easier to get people who have bought your products and services before than those who are buying for the first time.
To make it big, always buy your best clients a ticket to your next show. It will give you an automatic return on investment and goes without saying, will increase your brand value by multifold.
7. Don't just sell
Have you found it odd when people are only talking about themselves and take no interest in you?
Imagine if you are doing the same thing with your prospects. The best way to spark an interest in your brand is to show interest in others first. Ask them what they do and where they come from, what brought them to the trade show, etc to get a hint of what they are looking for.
Naturally, they will respond with an answer and a follow-up question. Keep doing it and you will be a natural at attracting customers!
8. Little hospitality goes a long way
A cup of soothing tea or strong coffee, some cookies and comfortable seating, and they will already feel like home. To enhance this warm feeling, even more, you can probably label the eateries as homemade.
Doesn't it automatically make you feel connected?
Treat them like you would anyone else if they walked into your home – the best place to exchange generosity and interest. People won't be able to help the 'welcoming' feeling they get at your booth and they might just return the same.
9. Don't forget to follow up & Quick
The longer you wait to follow up with your visitors, the sooner they will forget about you.
Since they must have attended many different booths and as much as you would like to believe that you were different, it is slightly tough to remember how you were different and who you were in the first place.
10. Reach out quickly
The day after the show, end them an email or approach through their preferred form of communication and extend the same experience, feeling and atmosphere to them.
Make full use of your vision and see that getting manifested in the most creative manner. Don't go over the top if it doesn't serve your purpose.
Be true to your objective and string that into the rope of impactful experiences. Make it worth their time. And yours. Before you go, take a look at some of the creative booths here and get inspired for your next big customer experience.

Close your eyes for a moment and place an image in your mind of the sort of person who needs to claim state benefit for their disability. The most common picture is someone almost destitute, reliant on the benefit just to function in their day to day life, likely to be claiming a multitude of other entitlements; the sort of person who won't ever be able to derive a normal income. Whisper it: the majority of people claiming Disability Living Allowance are the sharp elbowed middle classes, with incomes placing them in the top half of those in the UK.
Amongst pensioners, arguably those who need the most help with their disabilities – to be brutally honest, their health isn't exactly going to get any better – those in the bottom tenth by income represent a tiny fraction of claimants. For those of working age, it's a similar situation, albeit with huge numbers of people in the bottom decile claiming incapacity benefit, but not living allowance. Why? Do people who are incapacitated not count as disabled? Do they not have extra day to day living costs?
These are questions worth asking, because ignoring them prevents us from having a sensible discussion about the future of the welfare state. When a leak to the BBC revealed that the Conservative party was considering taxing disability benefits to fund the welfare bill the response was hysterical, from charities for disabled people (who should be well aware of the income demographics) to the average voter who can be forgiven because of the images promoted to us of the disabled. 'Tories hitting the sick, poor, and infirm!' goes the cry, but taxing these entitlements, as well as many others (child benefit or winter fuel allowance? Anyone concerned by individuals losing out from this change can recoup the funds and even provide more via other changes) is not only the most efficient policy, but the most just.
Taxing DLA and the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) would raise almost £1 billion. When we talk of deficits in the tens of billions this seems like small change, but these large sums can make a big difference. To put it in perspective, the revenue raised from this tax could have covered the losses of Remploy, which offered sheltered workplaces for disabled people who couldn't find mainstream employment, around 20 times over. But many of its loss-making factories were closed down. I'm no fan of Remploy, but plenty of people were, and it's illustrative of how funds can be used to help disabled people who might otherwise be cut off from mainstream life integrate into the community. We could target more money at pensioners, but they've already been treated well by this government. Working age people desperately need more help.
Mental health charity Mind is scathing about the progress the government has made in getting the disabled into work, and they should be. Only 5 per cent of the 'Work Related Activity Group'—people claiming ESA who the government thinks can work—have moved back into work since 2011. Among people transferred from the older incapacity benefit it stands at a paltry 1.8 per cent. The Department for Work and Pensions' target was 16.5 per cent.
By contrast, claimants with specialised support through the Work Choice mechanism (another of the government's disability employment programmes) have a far superior rate of moving into work at 40 per cent. The revenue raised from taxing disability benefits could be used to roll out far more of these services to secure the futures of these people who are the most in need. They may not live in the worst conditions, but they are the most disabled in the sense that they are most cut off from life. The Conservative party's position on this is curious. Encouragingly, they're trialling integration of cognitive behavioural therapies into the DWP, an acknowledgement the best way to get people off benefit is investment in the correct support. However, strongarmed by deficit fetishists at the Treasury, future welfare savings would be used just to pay off the deficit in the short term, rather than tackling the reasons the welfare bill is so high. So much for #longtermeconomicplan.
The official saving for getting someone off incapacity benefits is £650 a month. The employment rate if mentally ill people worked would be 4 per cent higher, and there would be billions more in output. Economically the case for more support is indisputable, and recouping funds from wealthy DLA claimants can be one part of that. It's a common trope you're only as disabled as society makes you, and for those who can navigate their way through society they should have a responsibility to give back to those who haven't been so fortunate.
The Conservatives may well reform the welfare state, but blinkered ideology could see them take hard decisions without making the right choices. Labour will refuse to think about this at all. The Liberal Democrats? Their opposition would be just another bandwagon for their few incumbents to hold onto seats. Let's debate the future of welfare in the open, with facts, rather than on sentiment and scaremongering.

Clinicopathological Features of the High Grade Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Abstract #2133
Introduction: The high grade pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs) include well-differentiated tumors (WD-NETs) with elevated proliferation and poorly differentiated carcinomas (PD-NECs).
Aim(s): The aim of the study was to assess clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of PanNEN that are G3 by Ki67 index.
Materials and methods: The study included 130 resected PanNENs, which were reviewed for morphology and immunohistochemistry and graded according to the WHO 2017 criterions. 20 cases were selected as study high grade (G3) group. The results were correlated with clinicopathologic data, overall (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

#33 Survival of Neuroendocrine Tumour Patients in Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust
Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare neoplasms, with an incidence of 2-2.4 per 100,000, which derive from the neurones and epithelial cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Neuropeptide-secreting NETs may present with overt clinical symptoms including abdominal pain, flushing and diarrhoea, whereas non-functioning NETs may be asymptomatic or present with obstructive symptoms. In Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust, NET patients are managed with a multi-disciplinary approach, according to UK and European NET guidelines.

#106 Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: single institution clinicopathological study
Introduction: Neuroendocrine cells are widely distributed throughout the body, and neoplasms from these dispersed cells can arise at many sites. They are distinguished into two broad categories: 1) Tumors identified as small cell lung carcinomas with biology and natural history of a high-grade malignancy and characteristics of small cell undifferentiated or anaplastic appearance by light microscopy. The WHO categorizes these tumors as poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas; 2) Well-defined neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with variable, but most lyindolent biologic behavior and characteristic well-differentiated histologic features. The majority arise in the gastrointestinal tract and collectively they are referred as gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP/NETs). They include carcinoid tumors, pancreatic islet cell tumors (gastrinoma, insulinoma, glucagonoma, VIPoma, somatostatinoma), paragangliomas, pheochromocytomas, and medullary thyroid carcinomas. The WHO classifies the GEP/NETs as well-differentiated NETs (carcinoid tumors) if they are noninvasive and have benign behavior or uncertain malignant potential. In contrast, GEP/NETs with characteristics of low-grade malignancy with invasion of the muscularis propria or beyond, or metastases, are characterized as well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (malignant carcinoids). Pancreatic islet cell tumors, whether functioning or not, are classified as well-differentiated NETs or well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas, due to the (depending on) histologic characteristics. The WHO classification for gastroenteropancreatic NETs based on stage (ie size and presence of metastases) and grade (mitotic rate, perineural and lymphovascular invasion, Ki-67 proliferative index) categorizes them as well-differentiated NETs, e.g., carcinoid tumors, or as well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas.

#110 Slug represents an important regulator of E-cadherin expression in neuroendocrine tumor cells of the pancreas
Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas form an inhomogenous group of epithelial neoplasms. They differ from other types of pancreatic cancers by showing an extended survival of patients, which is due to a mostly slow proliferation rate of the tumor. However, some of these neuroendocrine tumors are characterized by an early onset of metastases, which cannot be predicted by any available method. The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) represents a central part of cell migration and metastasis. During EMT, cells loosen their cellular contacts, leave the tissue, and become migrating single cells. One of the integral compounds of cell adhesion represents the E-cadherin adhesion module, which contains mostly E-cadherin and several catenins. A loss of this adhesion module is associated with tumor progression, migration and metastasis in many types of cancer.

Today's trip was along Colorado Hwy 92 (Montrose, Delta, Hotchkiss, Crawford) along the North Rim Black Canyon. Oh, and in Crawford at the last gas stop for 80 miles, you can get a nice serving of battered gizzards. Umm, we passed on that treat.
After the top-side tour of the North Rim, we went into the Black Canyon National Park. The first loop is up top, looking down into the canyon, with viewpoints all along the way. In this lookout, you can see the people at the tip of the lookout, contrasted with the cliffs at the other side of the canyon. You can see the river carving out the bottom.
Then you can take a side trip (if you're brave!) down to the river - descend more than 2,000 ft at 16 percent grade, with 10 mph hairpin turns (complete with mirrors).
At the bottom, you can meander along the river and almost get to the dam. There's a huge rock that has fallen off the cliff - went partially into the river, and you can still see where it gouged a huge chunk out of the road.

Here we are again. Almost at the end of another year. The first step is to celebrate the last year?
As we approach this new year we may be happy to forget 2015, our mistake and failures, but it is also important that we remember our blessings and what we have learned. Psalm 103:2 sais, "Praise the Lord, I tell myself, and never forget the good things He does for me." God realizes that we often forget what he has done for us and that's why in Deuteronomy. 6:12 Moses issued a final warning to Israel just before they entered the promised land, "beware, lest you forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt…" The meaning of the Hebrew word for a memorial (v. 7) is "to remember." Given our inclination to forget it is little wonder that memorials have frequently played an important role in biblical history.
Here are some reasons why it's important that we remember what God has done for us:
1. Forgetting leads to unbelief, then rebellion. Even though the children of Israel had just witnessed the miraculous ten plagues of Egypt and escaped 400 years of slavery, they "soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them. Instead, they rebelled against Him at the Red Sea." (Ps.106:7) Immediately following their Red Sea miracle, they lost hope when there was no water source. Repeatedly, the children of Israel forgot the miracles God had just done for them, and they grumbled, wanted to turn back.
2. Forgetting makes us do foolish things. At Mt. Sinai, the people got tired of waiting for Moses and "traded their glorious God for a statue of a grass-eating ox!" (Ps. 106:20) How quickly the people forgot what God had done! Forgetting causes us to get impatient and not wait on His direction. (Ps. 106:13) when we forget we become impatient and impatient people often do foolish things.
3. Forgetting ignites God's anger. They forgot God, their Saviour, who had done such great things, such wonderful things and such awesome deeds, so "He declared He would destroy them." (Ps. 106:21-23)
The practical solution here is to Record and Remember. Take some time today to write down at least five blessings from 2015. What things are you thankful for? What have you learned from difficult situations in 2015?

Today I thought I would share with you some of my ideas on filling the Christmas stockings. When I was growing up, our stocking was filled with special candies and fruit and little trinkets. I try to find small things that will be special and useful. So heres my list:
Tooth brushes/floss/cleaning tools
Gift cards
Make up
small toys/games (yes, even adults enjoy the right ones)
Nice socks
small notebooks
art supplies
nail polish
lip gloss/ chap sticks
Special food treats
Rolled money
In short, you want to find "small" "special" items and the list can be endless. I invite the rest of the family to add their small items to the stockings to. Every year someone shows up with a stocking stuffer that is to big for the stocking. Just keep in mind size matters. And have fun collecting! If you have lots of stockings to fill, you might want to get small bags with their names on them to fill so you can keep tabs on what all each person has. I like to wrap each item as I go and then they can't sneak a peek ahead of time. I also keep an eye out all year round for special small gifts to use as stocking stuffers. Some years I have a box full of items but I hardly traveled this last year so have nothing in my box this year. I'm so excited to go stocking shopping!
Have fun and make it special!

The Hills Are Alive!
Posted on 10 May 2019 by Miss Emily Acton-Edmiston
These are a few of my favourite things!
This week, girls from the upper end of the Junior School performed their annual play, at RADA Studios in Bloomsbury. The adaptation of the classic musical, The Sound of Music, was an uplifting production, with beautiful singing and acting from the IIA and III Form cast.
Favourites, such as Raindrops on Roses and Climb Every Mountain were performed against a clean and simple backdrop, showcasing the girls talent as well as the beautiful costumes, created by QG Parents Mrs Lenterman and Mrs Vila, even further.
The Von Trapp family children were a delightful ensemble, with their abundance of energy and brilliantly executed choreography throughout, as well as wonderful solo performances from Sophie Gorelli and Maria and Mother Abbess portrayed by Charlotte-Amicie Capelle.
Congratulations to the whole cast and crew for another superb production!

One of the easiest things to make is a good pork tenderloin. It looks fancy, but it is really easy to make. Just be sure you buy enough, because it shrinks down a lot.
Pork Tenderloin
Heat a Tablespoon of canola oil in a frying pan. Salt and Pepper your pork tenderloin. Also, heat your oven to 450 degrees. Brown Pork in frying pan on all sides for about 10 minutes total. Put in a 9 x 13, or something similar and bake on 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Before putting in oven, put one of the following sauces on top. It will be pink in the middle. Be sure your meat thermometer reaches 135 degree before taking it out, and let it sit until it reaches 145 degree, or just cook it for the full 20 minutes in the oven.
Maple Glaze
1 1/4 Cups maple syrup (do not substitute fake syrup for this)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 Cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup orange juice
3 Tablespoons juice from 1 lemon
1/4 Cup dried apricots quartered.
Sister Bowen's favorite Roasted Vegetables
I made a version of this last night. I left out the potatoes since we were having baked potatoes.
6 baby carrots, halved
3 small yokon gold potatoes
3 small parsnips
1 large sweet potato
1 each large red and yellow onion
1 each yellow and red sweet peppers
6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/2 C chicken broth
2 TB olive oil
salt and pepper
2 TB balsamic vinegar
2-3 springs rosemary
Peel and cut into 1 -inch pieces: Yukon and sweet potatoes, and parsnips. Cut onions crosswise into halves, peel and keep the roots intact. Cut peppers lengthwise. In large shallow roasting pan, combine all of the veggies and the garlic. Drizzle mixture with broth and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast uncovered in a 450 degree oven for 45 minutes, stirring veggies occasionally. Stir in balsamic vinegar and rosemary sprigs and roast 14 more minutes or until veggies are tender. Makes 6 servings.
Baked Potatoes
I didn't do it this way last night, but I like to wrap it in foil with a little drizzle of olive oil and season salt and bake in oven until soft. Just stick it in with the roasted veggies.
I wouldn't make this meal on a weeknight again. This is better for a weekend when you have more time.
