Cradles to Crayons (C2C) was founded in 2002, with the mission of providing children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive - at home, at school and at play. C2C is at the cutting edge of volunteer management, and through its "Giving Factory" provides unique, hands-on opportunities for people to help other people. Headquartered in Boston, MA, C2C opened in Philadelphia in 2007 and in Chicago in 2016.
How Our Model Works: Cradles to Crayons collects new and nearly new children's items through grassroots community drives and corporate donations. Donations are then processed and packaged by volunteers, and are distributed to disadvantaged children through a collaborative network of social service agencies and school partners. C2C supplies these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities that have with communities that need.
Cradles to Crayons meets a critical need as many children 12 years old and younger live in low-income and/or homeless situations. These living conditions can have negative effects on self-esteem as poverty can lead to increased social and emotional behavioral challenges; it impacts early education since half of children living in poverty start 1st grade up to 2 years developmentally behind their peers; and safety may be compromised as children living in poverty have increased risk of injury.
While meeting the immediate needs of low-income children, Cradles to Crayons also sets a foundation for lasting change by providing meaningful, tangible volunteer opportunities to thousands of individuals and families and hundreds of corporations each year by organizing clothing collections, hosting fundraisers, or working in the "Giving Factory" warehouse.
Cradles to Crayons earned the highest possible rating from Charity Navigator for several consecutive years. Only 2% of charities rated have received this distinction, differentiating C2C from its peers, exemplifying the high standard of service at C2C, and indicating that C2C outperforms most other charities in America.
Volunteers are the engine that power Cradles to Crayons, from the acquisition of product at community drives, through the processing of donations, to the packaging of KidPacks. The Group Volunteer Leader conveys the Cradles to Crayons' mission and quality standards, and provides an exceptional volunteer experience, before, during, and following the volunteer visit, to individuals and groups alike. A high quality experience for the volunteers is necessary to ensure the inflow of product, funds and volunteer labor to fulfill our mission.
The team of Group Volunteer Leaders oversees many of our 30,000 volunteers each year through all steps of their engagement process within our "Giving Factory" and special events. They are responsible for conveying the Cradles to Crayons' mission and quality standards by providing a high quality orientation and wrap-up at giving factory shifts and events. They have a demonstrated ability to work with volunteers of all ages and abilities, and with a group of up to 30 individuals at a time.
This Group Volunteer Leader team has responsibility to ensure all stations are 'volunteer ready', efficient and safe by following work station guidelines and expectations, and will individually have specific responsibility for two to three stations. There is some physical work involved.
Group Volunteer Leaders are expected to maintain an outgoing, positive attitude throughout the volunteer experience. The role is approximately 40 hours per week, based around the Giving Factory volunteer shifts. The usual roster will be Tuesday through Saturday, with some required Monday and Sunday shifts as well as occasional evenings.
Quality Volunteer Experience
- Forum readiness
- Station readiness
- Providing an engaging volunteer warm-up activity
- Clear and engaging overall volunteer orientation
- Lead volunteers in a work station
- Clear and engaging wrap up for the shift
- Ensure station is reset for the following volunteer shift
Giving Factory Station and Warehouse maintenance

Woodgate PE and Sports Premium report for Governors
2017/18 - £15,406
2018/19 - £19,442
Developing Staff Skills and Expertise
We have used some of our Sports premium funding to employ a sports coach for 3 days a week, to team teach P.E. to 10 out of 12 of our classes. The teachers work alongside the Sports Coach to develop their own skills and expertise. This is allowing staff to become more skilled at delivering P.E. and sports.
During Autumn 1 2018, the Sports Coach (SC) has worked alongside one of our Recently (RQT) Qualified Teachers – SC has taught/modelled the P.E. lesson with one Year 5 class, then in the second session the RQT has taught the same lesson with the second group of Year 5 children.
Our RCT has found this 1:1 support very useful, commenting that after little formal PE training at college, the last term has given him more confidence in planning and delivering PE lessons.
Fitness Club
We have used some of our sports premium funding to identify and work with pupils who will benefit from additional physical activity each week. A group of children from across the school work with SC to develop their fitness levels and stamina for exercise. This has been successful in improving self esteem and confidence as well as improving health and fitness.
A mix of 16 girls and boys from across Key Stage 2 that meet second lesson every Monday 10:50 - 11.30am.
This academic year, our SC is using part of the Health-Related Exercise P.E. Scheme (written by the Newman Catholic Collegiate). The children will take a fitness test at the beginning and end of each term – this fitness test covers Speed, Cardio-Vascular Endurance, and Muscular Endurance and Co-ordination.
Each test lasts 1 minute each, the children work in pairs, rotating around each around stations and recoding their results on a table like the one below. We are hoping that this will give us some measurable data to show impact and will motivate the children as they compare their own scores term on term and see progress/success for themselves.
G&T Sports
We have used some of our Sports Premium to employ SC to run our Gifted and Talented Sports group.
A mix of 16 girls and boys from across Key Stage 2, each Tuesday between 10.50am and 11.30am. The children are taught a range of sports and games skills, while considering how developing flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance can improve an individual's performance.
Last Autumn term the G&T Sports group focused on the skills required for football, netball, handball and basket ball, they also learnt about the principles of attacking and defending within these sports.
Last Spring term the G&T Sports group focused on badminton, tennis and table tennis. The year 5 and 6 children took part in a badminton tournament against other local schools at the end of January. The children played both singles and pairs badminton.
During the Summer term the children focused on striking and fielding games including rounders and cricket. Year 6 children then took part in a rounders tournament against other schools.
Structured Lunchtime Sporting activities
We have used some of our Sports Premium Sports to employ coaches to provide structured physical activity sessions for KS2 during the lunchtime. Activities run on a time tabled rotation so all classes can assess the different sports. Activities and rotation changed termly. Activities include, cricket, rounders and basketball.
2018/19 Academic year.
We currently have 44% of our Year 6 pupils have met the national curriculum requirements relating to swimming and water safety expectations.
Our Year 5 children go swimming every Thursday in differentiated swimming groups. During the Summer term children from the present Year 6 class that haven't met the National Curriculum standard in swimming, will be joining the Year 5 children for extra swimming lessons.

Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers.
It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
1. Design Patterns by Ralph Johnson (1997)
Capturing a wealth of experience about the design of object-oriented software, four top-notch designers present a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to commonly occurring design problems. Previously undocumented, these 23 patterns allow designers to create more flexible, elegant, and ultimately reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. The authors begin by describing what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software. They then go on to systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. With Design Patterns as your guide, you will learn how these important patterns fit into the software development process, and how you can leverage them to solve your own design problems most efficiently.
2. Code Complete by Steve McConnell (2004)
Widely considered one of the best practical guides to programming, Steve McConnell's original CODE COMPLETE has been helping developers write better software for more than a decade. Now this classic book has been fully updated and revised with leading-edge practices-and hundreds of new code samples-illustrating the art and science of software construction. Capturing the body of knowledge available from research, academia, and everyday commercial practice, McConnell synthesizes the most effective techniques and must-know principles into clear, pragmatic guidance. No matter what your experience level, development environment, or project size, this book will inform and stimulate your thinking-and help you build the highest quality code. Discover the timeless techniques and strategies that help you: * Design for minimum complexity and maximum creativity * Reap the benefits of collaborative development * Apply defensive programming techniques to reduce and flush out errors * Exploit opportunities to refactor-or evolve-code, and do it safely * Use construction practices that are right-weight for yo…
3. Introduction to Algorithms, 3rd Edition by Thomas H. Cormen (2009)
Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. The book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor.The first edition became a widely used text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals. The second edition featured new chapters on the role of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linear programming. The third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, substantial additions to the chapter on recurrence (now called "Divide-and-Conquer"), and an ap…
4. Compilers by Alfred V. Aho(2006)
Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools, known to professors, students, and developers worldwide as the "Dragon Book," is available in a new edition. Every chapter has been completely revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published. The authors, recognizing that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software development. New chapters include: Chapter 10 Instruction-Level Parallelism Chapter 11 Optimizing for Parallelism and Locality Chapter 12 Interprocedural Analysis
5. Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasaki (2011)
Most books on data structures assume an imperative language like C or C++. However, data structures for these languages do not always translate well to functional languages such as Standard ML, Haskell, or Scheme. This book describes data structures from the point of view of functional languages, with examples, and presents design techniques so that programmers can develop their own functional data structures. It includes both classical data structures, such as red-black trees and binomial queues, and a host of new data structures developed exclusively for functional languages. All source code is given in Standard ML and Haskell, and most of the programs can easily be adapted to other functional languages. This handy reference for professional programmers working with functional languages can also be used as a tutorial or for self-study.
6. Introduction To Algorithms by Thomas H Cormen (2001)
This title covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. This second edition features new chapters on the role of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linear programming, as well as extensive revisions to virtually every section of the book. In a subtle but important change, loop invariants are introduced early and used throughout the text to prove algorithm correctness. Without changing the mathematical and analytic focus, the authors have moved much of the mathematical foundations material from Part I to an appendix and have included additional motivational material at the beginning.
7. Applying UML and Patterns by Craig Larman (2004)
"This edition contains Larman's usual accurate and thoughtful writing. It is a very good book made even better." -Alistair Cockburn, author, Writing Effective Use Cases and Surviving OO Projects"Too few people have a knack for explaining things. Fewer still have a handle on software analysis and design. Craig Larman has both." -John Vlissides, author, Design Patterns and Pattern Hatching"People often ask me which is the best book to introduce them to the world of OO design. Ever since I came across it Applying UML and Patterns has been my unreserved choice." -Martin Fowler, author, UML Distilled and Refactoring"This book makes learning UML enjoyable and pragmatic by incrementally introducing it as an intuitive language for specifying the artifacts of object analysis and design. It is a well written introduction to UML and object methods by an expert practitioner." -Cris Kobryn, Chair of the UML Revision Task Force and UML 2.0 Working Group*A brand new edition of the world's most admired introduction to object-oriented analysis and design with UML *Fully updated for UML 2 and the latest iterative/agile practice…
8. Programming Pearls by Jon Louis Bentley
"The first edition of Programming Pearls was one of the most influential books I read early in my career, and many of the insights I first encountered in that book stayed with me long after I read it. Jon has done a wonderful job of updating the material. I am very impressed at how fresh the new examples seem." — Steve McConnell When programmers list their favorite books, Jon Bentley's collection of programming pearls is commonly included among the classics. Just as natural pearls grow from grains of sand that irritate oysters, programming pearls have grown from real problems that have irritated real programmers. With origins beyond solid engineering, in the realm of insight and creativity, Bentley's pearls offer unique and clever solutions to those nagging problems. Illustrated by programs designed as much for fun as for instruction, the book is filled with lucid and witty descriptions of practical programming techniques and fundamental design principles….
9. The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven S. Skiena (2008)
This expanded and updated second edition of a classic bestseller continues to take the `mystery` out of designing and analyzing algorithms and their efficacy and efficiency. Expanding on the highly successful formula of the first edition, the book now serves as the primary textbook of choice for any algorithm design course while maintaining its status as the premier practical reference guide to algorithms….
10. Concrete Mathematics by Ronald L. Graham(1994)
This book introduces the mathematics that supports advanced computer programming and the analysis of algorithms. The primary aim of its well-known authors is to provide a solid and relevant base of mathematical skills — the skills needed to solve complex problems, to evaluate horrendous sums, and to discover subtle patterns in data. It is an indispensable text and reference not only for computer scientists — the authors themselves rely heavily on it! — but for serious users of mathematics in virtually every discipline. …
11. The Algorithm Design Manual: Text by Steven S. Skiena(1998)
This material has been developed over a period of several years in an upper-division course taught to computer science students at SUNY, Stony Brook, by Steve Skiena. A major goal of the author has been to take some of the "mystery" out of identifying and dealing with algorithms which these students will later use in the workplace, drawing heavily on the author's own real-world experiences, the book stressing design and analysis. Thus the work takes on a very practical character, as reflected in its title: "Manual". The Book is divided into two parts, the first being a general guide to techniques for the design and analysis of computer algorithms. The second is a reference section, comprising the catalog of algorithmic resources, implementations, and an extensive bibliography
12. Modern Operating Systems by Andrew S. Tanenbaum
13. Algorithms by Robert Sedgewick
This fourth edition of Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne's Algorithms is the leading textbook on algorithms today and is widely used in colleges and universities worldwide. This book surveys the most important computer algorithms currently in use and provides a full treatment of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, graph processing, and string processing — including fifty algorithms every programmer should know. In this edition, new Java implementations are written in an accessible modular programming style, where all of the code is exposed to the reader and ready to use. The algorithms in this book represent a body of knowledge developed over the last 50 years that has become indispensable, not just for professional programmers and computer science students but for any student with interests in science, mathematics, and engineering, not to mention students who use computation in the liberal arts

17. Project retrospectives by Norman L. Kerth
With detailed scenarios, imaginative illustrations, and step — by-step ins tructions, consultant and speaker Norman L. Kerth guides readers through productive, empowering retrospectives of project performance.Whether your shop calls them postmortems or postpartums or something else, project retrospectives offer organizations a formal method for preserving the valuable lessons learned from the successes and failures of every project. These lessons and the changes identified by the community will foster stronger teams and savings on subsequent efforts.
For a retrospective to be effective and successful, though, it needs to be safe. Kerth shows facilitators and participants how to defeat the fear of retribution and establish an air of mutual trust. One tool is Kerth's Prime Directive:
Regardless of what we discover, we must understand and truly believe that everyone did the best job he or she could, given what was known at the time, his or her skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand.
Applying years of experience as a project retrospective facilitator for software organizations, Kerth reveals his secrets for managing the sensitive, often emotionally charged issues that arise as teams relive and learn from each project.
Don't move on to your next project without consulting and using this readable, practical handbook. Each member of your team will be better prepared for the next deadline.

Africa: ILO summit vs. poverty
The International Labor Organization's 10th African Regional Meeting, Dec. 2-5 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, will project ways to build job opportunities and reduce poverty in Africa, the ILO said in a press statement last week.
The delegates from 53 African states will prepare for the Extraordinary Summit on Employment and Poverty Alleviation in Africa to be convened in Burkina Faso next year by the African Union.
Calling Africa "a continent in search of decent work," the ILO said the continent has "the highest regional poverty level and the widest gap between rich and poor in the world." Over 300 million people there live in extreme poverty with income the equivalent of one U.S. dollar per day, the ILO said.
The conference has three aims, the ILO said: eliminating barriers to Africa's productive potential, promoting investments that will function within ILO principles of workers' rights, and building opportunities for rural families.
Honduras, Nicaragua: Protest Powell's visit
Indigenous people, students and other grassroots activists greeted U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell with resounding protests during his visits to Nicaragua and Honduras Nov. 3 and 4.
Honduran President Ricardo Maduro was forced to apologize to Powell for the protesters' chants of "Colin Powell, you're a terrorist" and "Powell and IMF, get out of here!" – audible inside the government building where the two held a joint press conference. The demonstration was organized by the Civic Council of Grassroots and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), which demanded U.S. forces leave the Palmerola air base, and called for the return of Honduran troops from Iraq.
Some 5,000 Nicaraguan university students also marched to protest Powell's stop over in that country. They demanded U.S. forces leave Iraq, and that the Nicaraguan government not approve proposed budget cuts for the universities.
Japan: Protests vs. troops to Iraq
On Nov. 16 the peace movement and the Japanese Communist Party demonstrated in a number of cities to oppose government plans to send units of the Self-Defense Forces(SDF) to Iraq, the JCP's newspaper, Akahata, reported. As U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld arrived in Okinawa for talks with Governor Inamine Keiichi, demonstrators from the Okinawa United Action Liaison Council assembled in front of the prefectural office to oppose the SDF dispatch to Iraq.
Among other cities where protests were held were Toyota City and Nagano, where JCP members gathered petition signatures at railway stations.
Akahata reported that in October and November the SDF and U.S. forces held large-scale joint exercises, under the new Japan-U.S. Guidelines for Defense Cooperation and war contingency laws – both designed to mobilize Japan for U.S. wars.
The maneuvers included live-fire exercises, and joint exercises with the U.S. Navy and Air Force.
Poland: Coal miners strike vs. closings
Thousands of Polish coal miners struck for 24 hours on Nov. 17 to protest the government's plans to close four pits. Union leaders said the one-day action could be followed by a general strike unless a solution is reached.
An earlier protest brought thousands of angry coal miners to the capital city, Warsaw, in September.
Under the government's plan, 8,500 miners would lose their jobs in a region where nearly one-third of workers are already jobless.
Overall, the proposed restructuring of the coal-mining industry would cost miners 25,000 of the industry's present 140,000 jobs. The layoffs are part of Poland's plan to cut spending and lower its budget deficit before it joins the European Union next May. But the layoffs and other austerity measures are very unpopular with the country's working families, who were accustomed to full employment and benefits under socialism.
East Timor: NGOs demand fair boundaries
Some 100 non-governmental organizations from 18 countries have written to Australian Prime Minister Howard, demanding that he "play fair" with East Timor during negotiations on the sea boundary between the two countries.
During the Suharto dictatorship in Indonesia, an agreement was made with Australia excluding from East Timorese territory the rich oil and gas deposits under the sea. The Australian government is continuing to use this agreement, which violates the international law of the sea, in negotiations with the newly independent government of East Timor. This deprives East Timor, whose people are among the world's poorest, of resources estimated to be worth $30 billion.
The NGOs called on Australia to set a firm timetable to establish a permanent maritime boundary, and urged that East Timor be "treated fairly and as a sovereign nation, with the same rights as Australia."

Making of
Taking spaces in Heidelberg, Germany
Metropolink Festival 2018 – Heidelberg Germany
With the scent of military personnel being long gone, the smell of acrylic paint and Montana Cans was the new fragrance of choice. No two artworks alike, the whole gamut of street art, fine art through to graffiti was represented. As far as the eye could see color was creeping up on every square meter of bricks. Daunting eyes, linear graphic work, typographic graffiti-ism through to the quirky yet clever style of Sweet Uno.

The future of cannabis is female! December is DOPE Magazine's Women's Issue, and we wanted to continue to highlight women across the industry on all our platforms. We sent a questionnaire to outstanding women in cannabis — some familiar to us, some new — and will be showcasing their answers in individual blogs this month. Check out our December Mag for more profiles of the badass women you need to know!
Today's story highlights Randi Sether, marketing strategist at MagicalButter.com.
DOPE Magazine: Who are some of your greatest role models?
Randi Sether: My parents. They've always encouraged me to do what's right, no matter what others say. They've supported both my personal and professional journeys with cannabis from the beginning. I love you, mom and dad!
What are the biggest challenges you've faced in your career?
Leaving the corporate world and a comfortable lifestyle to venture into the wild west o' weed, the land of opportunity and uncertainty.
What's something someone would never guess about you?
I play tuba. Really well.
What's your go-to self-care routine?
Stretching. I am always stretching it out. Stressed? Stretch it out and breathe.
Favorite "guilty pleasure"?
Monster trucks. Yep.
Where do you see your career/business headed in five years? Twenty?
In the future, I see myself doing exactly what I'm doing now, helping others integrate this sacred plant into their diets and lives.
How do you feel about the industry-wide assertion that cannabis is a female-friendly space?
I definitely consider the space to be more female friendly than ones I've worked in past (cough, auto industry, cough), but with plenty of room to evolve. The more friendly females we have in the cannabis space, the more female-friendly it will become!
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A stand-up comedian. I wanted to make to people laugh.
If you could talk to yourself five years ago, what advice would you give?
I would tell myself to begin integrating cannabis into my diet sooner. Eating cannabis was not on my radar at the time, and I was having health issues that could have been treated with edibles.
What advice do you have for other women looking to get into the cannabis space?
"Hey girl, don't get discouraged when you hear 'no.' Instead, let it be the fuel that ignites your passion! Read, learn, connect with a mentor, get as smart as possible and try again. If you don't find a brand that connects to your ethos, maybe it's time to start your own!"
Recommend a book, album and movie you think everyone should read/listen to/watch while stoned!
I highly (pun intended) recommend the book "Ganja Yoga" by Dee Dussault. She connects the ritual of consuming cannabis with the art of yoga and stretching … a few of my favorite things!
Best piece of advice you've ever received?
"Just say yes."
What's your favorite cannabis product?
My favorite cannabis product is one I make myself, cannabis coconut butter suppositories. I suffer from anxiety-triggered IBS (yes, I'm talking about it), and these little frozen cylinders of medicine make my quality of life better. They even work for shark week times. Front door, back door, these suppositories are the best.
What's the one thing you would bring if you were stranded on a desert island?
Glasses. I wouldn't survive long with one pair of contacts.
What do you hope for the future of the cannabis industry?
I hope the future holds new cures to physical and mental ailments, increasing the quality of life for all of those in our society that need it.
Fill in the blank: I could never live without ________
What do you think needs to happen before we achieve federal legalization of cannabis?
Before moving forward with federal legalization, those convicted of crimes relating to possession, cultivation and sale of cannabis should have their records expunged from public databases.
What's your smoking/cannabis consumption ritual, if you do partake in cannabis?
My cannabis ritual is sacred to me. I start my morning off with grinding my herb, packing it into my sherlock pipe and puffing with a cup of coffee. Throughout the day, I will eat a homemade cannabis-infused gummy. It helps with managing anxiety and stress. I end my day with a bowl full of green.

Cyber Onboarding Tip: Use Company-Issued Hardware
The Security Industry Association (SIA) is committed to helping you onboard new employees in a safe and secure way. Our Cyber Onboarding Guide for Employees helps employers and staff reduce cyber vulnerabilities at their organizations, protecting their business and assets.
As a consumer of technology, you have many options for your devices. Organizations, on the other hand, should consider security and performance characteristics when selecting devices for the workplace. Here are SIA's Cybersecurity Working Group's tips for using company-issued hardware:
- Whenever possible, work should be done on company-issued devices. These devices are maintained and updated for security on a regular, trusted schedule.
- Keep your company-issued devices secured: physically lock them when they're not in use, and password-protect devices or use other authentication methods to restrict access by other users.
- Only use personal devices for basic communications, like emails without attachments. And always use company-provided web portals, or a virtual private network.
- Immediately report lost or stolen hardware/devices to the IT department so they can be deactivated, reducing the risk of ransomware or stolen data.

Kabbalists Write about the Wisdom of Kabbalah.
The young, or those who find themselves heavy and of little desire for the Inner Light, must, at the very least, make it a rule to dedicate one or two hours a day to the wisdom of truth. In time, their minds will broaden and abundant success will unfold on their study of the essence of the Torah, as well, and their strength in scrutiny will mount and grow with pure ideas and broadening of the mind.

Los Raptors de Toronto consiguieron el primer título de un equipo canadiense en la NBA

Warriors star Kevin Durant says on social media he underwent surgery for a ruptured right Achilles tendon.

Like Derrick Rose before him, Kevin Durant's injury is bigger than basketball: 'An incredible win and a horrible loss'

Los Warriors no estaban listos todavía para renunciar al título de la NBA, ni siquiera tras sufrir una descorazonadora baja.

Warriors score the first 18 points of the second half to beat the Raptors 109-104 and even the NBA Finals

2 years after the Jimmy Butler trade, the Bulls still don't have a firm grasp on what the core of the rebuild can do together

Kevin Durant had 31 points and seven rebounds, LeBron James added 19 points and Team LeBron overcame a big game from Giannis Antetokounmpo to defeat Team Giannis 178-164 on Sunday night in the All-Star game.
From 'Coy Fish' to KD 11 Aunt Pearl: A look at the All-Star shoes that will be worn at the NBA All-Star Game
NBA players once again will be sharing personal stories this weekend during All-Star festivities — and using basketball shoes as a platform to get their message out.
The Warriors knew they would not be visiting the White House to celebrate their 2018 NBA title on their annual trip to Washington this week. Instead, they paid a visit to former President Barack Obama at his Washington office
Kevin Durant y los Warriors no intentaban enviar ningún mensaje ni hacer ningún tipo de declaración ante el equipo al que perseguían en la Conferencia Oeste.
'That wasn't inadvertent': Bulls' Bobby Portis believes Warriors superstar Kevin Durant purposely injured his elbow
Bobby Portis' run-in with Kevin Durant on Friday left the Bulls forward with a sprained elbow and a feeling that he is being treated differently by the officials because of his reputation. And that Durant intentionally tried to hurt him.
The Bulls' youngest player had the most succinct description of the blowout loss to the Warriors. "What happened last time," Wendell Carter Jr. said, "happened again." Last time, at the United Center in October, the final score was 149-124. On Friday at Oracle Arena, the final was 146-109.
No one doubts Stephen A. Smith's fearlessness in the hardscrabble world of sports opinion. But a more interesting question might be whether he deliberately seeks out these confrontations. After all, you've got a better TV show when you are talking directly to players instead of about them.
LeBron James says he's 'always' recruited free agents. They just didn't want to go to Cleveland.
"I've been trying to get guys to come play with me since, like, 2007," LeBron James said.
Contrary to the popular complaint, the NBA isn't allergic to parity. Look at how bunched-up the league is this season. The standings resemble a traffic jam.
As John Wall's massive deal is showing, too many NBA players are eligible for the league's designated veteran player exception — and it's crippling overzealous teams.
While the game won't be worse off because a 16-year veteran is succumbing to Father Time, there should be some concern about the extinction of a great midrange scorer.
The Golden State Warriors don't expect Draymond Green's latest dustup with Kevin Durant to become a long-term issue for the two-time defending NBA champions.
LeBron James, Stephen Curry and other NBA heavyweights praise Derrick Rose after his 50-point performance
LeBron James, Stephen Curry and other NBA heavyweights weighed in on social media to praise the perseverance of Derrick Rose on his 50-point night.
Stephen Curry, a well-known fan of the Panthers, appeared to take the treatment from his Redskins-loving superstar teammate Kevin Durant in stride, even with the "sneaker wars" undercurrent.
Ahí estaba LeBron James , aún sorprendente en el uniforme oro y púrpura. Y estaban también Kevin Durant , Stephen Curry y los Warriors de Golden State, los campeones actuales y por el futuro inmediato.
The Greek Freak's time has come.
Kevin Durant claims that the media members who vote for awards such as defensive player of the year have "no appreciation for my real skill for the game."
A wild shopping spree in the NBA begins in earnest on Monday, somewhere in the greater Minneapolis area.
The union rejected the NBA's proposal to gradually smooth an influx of new revenue into the cap, but neither foresaw the downside to that decision.
At Team USA minicamp, Warriors star Kevin Durant and Portland's C.J. McCollum got into a social media spat after Durant had appeared on McCollum's podcast.
- Commentary:
The Thunder didn't make a mistake trading for Carmelo Anthony. It sent the right message.
Carmelo Anthony never fit in Oklahoma City, but in the bigger picture, the Thunder's acquisition of Anthony set the franchise on the right course.
For Jabari Parker, a standout at Simeon, a return to Chicago was something he had long anticipated.
If the Bulls have around $40 million in salary-cap space next year but still can't sign a superstar, then sell the franchise to the Rickettses and let Tom replace John Paxson and Gar Forman with basketball Theo Epstein — someone who'll make the Bulls a destination, not a consolation prize.
We interrupt the Warriors' 2018-19 championship rally for this news flash: The NBA will survive. And, dare we say, thrive?
DeMarcus Cousins agreed Monday to accept a one-year deal to join the two-time defending NBA champions for $5.3 million.
LeBron James's remarkable basketball journey empowered him to make this decision about the comfort of himself and his family, first and foremost.
Kevin Durant is staying put for now. So are Paul George and Chris Paul. And free agency is off to a flying start.
The rumor mill is in overdrive, with nuggets such as these: LeBron James has looked at schools in Los Angeles, he's not particularly fond of Houston and he's hugging restaurant diners in Miami. Ah, free agency is back.
Do "super teams" like the Warriors and Cavaliers make the NBA too predictable and uninteresting? Apparently some fans think so. And Commissioner Adam Silver sympathizes,
The NBA's priority on pace and space in the small-ball era is no tall order for some of the draft's agile and versatile big men.
NBA teams have more information on prospects than ever before. But it hasn't made them more accurate in their selections.

COVID-19 Update: The university remains under a state of emergency. Learn more about guidelines and requirements in place for return to our campuses at Safe and Healthy Buckeyes.
Helping Buckeyes go global
Education abroad programs can have a life-changing impact on students of all majors. For architecture students, experiencing great designs around the globe firsthand is imperative to becoming better problem solvers.
"To be a student of architecture and not travel means you really don't understand the scale of these things that you're looking at, the texture or how they tuck into a particular landscape," Architecture Professor Jackie Gargus said. "All of that is really, really important."
Last spring, 15 College of Engineering students were able to explore the roots and continued development of Cuba's modern architecture, thanks to a generous gift from prominent Columbus architect and distinguished alumnus George Acock ('63).
Acock's first trip to Europe, taken several years after he graduated, had a profound effect on him and his craft. "I thought I did pretty good when I went to Ohio State, but after I started traveling, I improved, and I'd like to see the students experience that."
A long-time advocate for the Knowlton School of Architecture's education abroad programs, Acock's gifts have supported international travel experiences for 55 Ohio State students since 2009.
"Through travel, you can learn how many different ways you can approach a problem and how you can creatively respond to that in your architectural practice," he said.
Creating an education abroad program in Cuba has been a longtime goal of the Knowlton School, explained Gargus, one inspired by Acock.
"George Acock was an early visitor to Cuba long before most people had a chance to go and he was very impressed with the lively art scene and the fabric of these old colonial towns," she said. "And for a number of years he's wanted to make it possible for Knowlton School students to have an opportunity to visit."
His most recent gift made the expensive trip accessible to students, enabling them to explore Cuba's unique architectural environment firsthand.
"Without Mr. Acock's funding this trip would have been completely impossible," said Gargus, who led the 10-day visit. Students explored Cuba's contrasting architectural styles in the capital city of Havana as well as Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Miramar and Viñales, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
"We saw several different periods of really spectacular architecture. There was the colonial architecture that characterized old Havana and towns like Trinidad and Cienfuegos," Gargus explained. "There was also a kind of art deco architecture from the 30s, 40s and even 50s."
Senior architecture major Jack Raymond felt fortunate to take part in the trip and further his knowledge of architectural design around the world.
"The Cuba trip was a wonderful way to accumulate a new set of experiences, which broadened my awareness of architecture across the world," he said.
Support like Acock's ensures that all Buckeye architects—regardless of their financial resources—have the opportunity to gain the global perspective needed to thrive in the internationally connected world.

I love a good brasserie. Particularly the ones of my mind, which play to the romantic idyll of how I envisage dining in France to be everywhere, all of the time.
In them, waiting staff in white shirts and black waistcoats glide around guests taking languorous lunches longer than the morning they spent in the office. The evenings host a convivial atmosphere with rotund diners wallowing in the digestive juices that follow rich French classics, lots of vin rouge and not quite enough l'eu du minerale.
There should be a lot of French gesticulating and arm throwing, along with great gorgeous bowls and plates piled high with all the things you would expect to find in a good brasserie. And let's throw in a bit of Édith Piaf on the wireless for good measure.
We're lucky to have some good brasseries in London. Bistrot Bruno Loubet I'm yet to try, but I hear good things. Brasserie Zedel ticks a lot of the above, although I suspect it's the very splendid setting (typical to a Corbin and King enterprise) and the competitive double-take prices that draw in the clientele more than the food.
A great leap up from this and you'll find Brasserie Chavot, a Mayfair restaurant only recently wandering into my London dining periphery, despite being open since March 2013 and gaining a Michelin star just a few months later.
The classic interiors are chic and elegant without feeling dated; how you might have expected Coco Chanel to design a commercial dining space if doing so were part of her repertoire. Glinting tear-drop chandeliers and intricate coving adorn the high ceilings. There's red leather, dark wood, stately structural columns, and an open kitchen. The whole room is adjoined to the Westbury Hotel, whilst maintaining its own street entrance.
Eric Chavot – the gregarious Executive Chef with his name above the door – hails from Bordeaux in France. The back catalogue of his culinary career include stints with a host of highly acclaimed kitchens including Le Manoir au Quat' Saisons, Michelin star-studded London-based solo ventures, and holding two stars as Head Chef of The Capital Restaurant for a laudable ten years.
He is a chef to the core, with unbridled passion for his craft. Eric revelled in the opportunity to cook a group of us some dishes off menu, landing heavily laden wooden boards and brimming steel pots at the centre of our tables with the flamboyant gesture of a showman proud of his work. And rightly so.
The heirloom tomato salad with Parmesan and pesto was as fragrant as it was a pure pleasure to eat. There was a zippy Strasbourgeoise salad with soft potatoes, the heat of mustard and slices of sausage, as well as a dish of flaking sea bream fillets with raita. Tender octopus with the last of the summer pea and broad bean bounty was especially wonderful with the glass of Portuguese Vinho Verde "Mica". As was the acclaimed signature dish of deep fried soft shell crab with whipped aioli, the crisp and light white cutting through the fattiness of the crab; a continuation of the superb starter theme.
Then there was a fish soup with crab claws, octopus, olives, a deep burnt-orange bisque, hunks of chorizo with smoky heat, and saturated but still well textured crusts of bread. Lamb cutlets with Merguez sausages were unveiled from under the cone lid of a tagine, whilst tender pork and duck arrived with fat and creamy butter beans and exceptionally garlicky - and therefore fantastic - bread.
It all wrapped up with an impeccably boozy rum baba with chantilly cream, a lemon tart and Eric's take on an Eton mess. And a glass of Pink Moscato; like drinking fizzy fresh raspberries.
"This one is only 5%" Head Sommelier, Andreas, informed us as he filled our flutes with a knowing smile. It takes one of experience to recognise that dessert for this lot requires a toned down alcohol content, considering the copious glasses of Torrontéz, Crozes-Hermitage and more that went before it.
The dishes seemed to taste elevated from what you would expect based on the look and descriptions alone, which meant a stream of coo-ing from one to the next. The whole meal – food, wine and service - was a series of small thrills, which together made for a fabulous experience. And despite some dishes often associated with the heaviness of rich French food and the onset of gout, there was a lightness running throughout.
Eric and his kitchen are turning out refined yet generous and hearty plates of French abundance that feel like a glimpse into what his mamma might have cooked him. It's not prissy and doesn't feel contrived, yet is set in impressive surroundings at a very reasonable price point for this part of town.
Despite the accolade, this isn't typical Michelin fine-dining. That expression 'cooked with love' seems to fit here; there's a side of Eric's personality with every plate. And a combination like that in London feels quite special.
Liked lots: Eric's showmanship and love for his trade, opulent interiors with accessible and beautiful food, appealing price point for this part of town
Liked less: I'll get back to you..
Good for: impressing dining companions without the need to break the bank; French food that doesn't require a digestion nap after
My rating: 4.5/5
41 Conduit St, W1S 2YF

What is pernicious anemia?
Pernicious anemia or anemia by bad absorption of vitamin B12 is a type of anemia that occurs because the body lacks the necessary element to produce the absorption of B12 vitamin or cobalamin.
This component allows you to absorb this vitamin is called intrinsic factor, a protein produced by cells of the stomach. Since cobalamin is necessary for the absorption of iron, its absence leads to anemia.
This type of anemia is quite common in people over 60 and does not usually appear before age 30. It is a disease that responds well to treatment.
Symptoms of pernicious anemia
Between the main symptoms of the pernicious anemia we have:
– Continued Fatigue.
– Fatigue with little effort.
– Problems in the breathing.
– Loss of appetite
– Pale and haggard appearance
– Sensation of lack of sanguineous circulation in the fingers and feet.
– Diarrhoea.
– Headache
– Lack of concentration or memory loss.
– Etc.
Causes of pernicious anemia
Poor absorption of vitamin B12 is the reason why this type of anemia is produced. Among the factors that can cause this problem are:
– Lack of intrinsic factor: What can occur as a result of inheritance or as a result of gastric cell injury as occurs after prolonged periods of heartburn or stomach operations.
– Low level of intrinsic factor: Caused by problems of gastric mucosa atrophy or autoimmune response against gastric cells or against its own intrinsic factor.
– Low intake of vitamin B12 foods.
– Poor absorption of vitamin B12
Diagnosis and treatment of pernicious anemia
When one notices symptoms that may suggest the existence of anemia, it is necessary to visit a doctor who will diagnose the possible existence of this disease. Blood tests will help determine the diagnosis.
The high-priority objective of the treatment supposes the elimination of the causes that originate the problem.
NATURAL TREATMENT OF the ANEMIA FOR BAD ABSORPTION OF VITAMIN B12
For the treatment of the anemia, natural remedies can be used as an aid to the treatment offered by the doctor. The convenience of using the following resources should be consulted:
– The use of medicinal plants that can stimulate the body's production of iron.
– The adoption of a suitable diet to restore adequate iron levels.
– The use of appropriate complements
More information on the anemia.

Macro counting has become a buzzword over the last couple of years. What was once primarily used in the world of bodybuilders and physique competitors has now become mainstream. Tracking your daily intake can be very important in reaching your goals. Finding the easiest way to do that might be just as important. What is macro counting? Macros (short for macronutrients) are carbohydrates, fat, and protein. When someone is counting macros, they are keeping track of how many grams of each they are eating by means of weighing and measuring everything they eat. All three categories can be manipulated based on your goals. There are benefits to tracking what you eat with almost any system. It helps to get a visual on what you are actually eating in a day, and it can help with body composition goals or to improve performance. There positives with macro counting, but there can be… read more »
The Key to Abs
What if I were to tell you that to get strong abs, you must first master breathing? Specifically, you have to get better at exhaling. Most of us are dysfunctional when it comes to breathing. This affects our posture and we get stuck in a state of hyperinflation (hyperextension) that we can't get out of. Sounds kind of silly right? If you are reading this, you're still on this earth. So, you must be doing something right when it comes to inhaling and exhaling air. 🙂 Starting any ab exercise in a hyperinflated "stuck on the inhale" state makes it less effective. If you aren't in the right starting position, your core exercises aren't working as well as they could. I can hold a plank with poorly engaged abs for several minutes. But a plank in a better starting position is a whole different beast. … read more »
Why I Broke Up With Paleo
In my early stages of learning to eat healthier, I started the Paleo diet. I went cold turkey and adopted this as my new healthy. I was so into it! People would often get in touch with me to help them in their Paleo journey. I still seem to carry around the Paleo Girl title. If you aren't familiar with Paleo, here are the very basics: Remove dairy, grains, processed foods, sugar, and legumes. Your diet revolves around protein, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds. I'm not writing this to persuade you one way or the other. I have had several conversations about this recently, and I want to share my experience because it applies to many restriction-based plans. Keep in mind that we've all got a unique path and mine may not look the same as yours, but I hope there are some useful nuggets here for you. I… read more »
Meal plan ebooks
"I want to eat healthily but I don't know what to make." "I don't know how to cook." "Healthy food tastes so boring." "My life is so busy I don't have the time to cook healthy." "My kids won't eat the healthy food I make." Can you relate to any of those statements? Maybe all of them? That used to be me. I went from not knowing what to make, to trying to pick the "right thing" and hating it. Then attempting to make advanced meals that were time consuming, caused me stress, and ended up tasting awful anyway. I would buy fresh produce to watch it rot. How frustrating. I've learned a lot since then. Like how to make nutritious, good tasting food that the whole family will like. Meals that aren't complicated or time-consuming. And how to plan well so I no longer have wasted, unused food or… read more »
How to Bomb a Fat Loss Contest
How to bomb a fat loss contest Back in 2010 I did a 28-day diet that consisted mostly of protein shakes along with a few other supplements. I had a healthy meal made from whole foods once per week. I followed it to a T and had awesome results, losing 7 lbs of fat and gaining 4 lbs of muscle. My fat percentage dropped to 14.8% and I was very happy with where I was at, finally! Fast forward six years. I was involved in an instructor fat loss contest at Barefoot. It was a 60-day contest with a $900 prize going to the winner! We measured body comp with a bod pod. I was determined to win and so excited to finally have something to "get me back on track." The results? I failed. Miserably. I actually gained almost 1 pound of fat. What the what?! Completely embarrassing and… read more »

My Top 2 Skills to Get Nutrition Back On Track
By: Abby Keyes I love summer. After long South Dakota winters, we finally get sunshine and warmth. But it always fiddles with my nutrition habits. Bonfires, grilling out with friends, and days at the lake. I enjoy it all. But it also means s'mores, cocktails, and snacks. To get back on track I have two, never-fail-me nutrition skills that I always use. They helped me get and stay lean. I was once confused, overwhelmed, and unsuccessful with nutrition. You can see more about it in my Perfect Diet blog. I tried elimination diets and many forms of all-or-nothing plans. When you are relying on rule-following only, it is hard to make anything stick long-term. You may find yourself getting caught up on the little details. "I only eat sweet potatoes on workout days." "Can I eat lentils?" You're measuring every bite, counting every macronutrient, or taking an outrageous amount… read more »
July '16 Member of the Month Angie Davis
Congratulations to our July Member of the Month, Angie Davis! Angie is pictured with the Cadre of her second GoRuck Challenge after earning patch. Angie's Story "My adventure with Barefoot Fitness began in April 2015. I've gone to other gyms off and on my entire life, have always been active – hiking and playing tennis – so hey, what did I have to lose? Little did I know, the Watertown BF instructors were going to turn my life upside down!! After my free week, I was hooked! I kept going back – this was different from the other gyms I've been to. This is a support group, a group of friends – not a bunch of people who make you feel self-conscience for putting forth your best effort. The instructors were nice, helpful, and actually wanted to see you succeed. It didn't take long to notice the little things – it… read more »
June 2016 Member of the Month- Greg Albrechtsen
The June member of the month is Greg Albrechtsen of Spearfish! His results during the fat loss contest were amazing! He and his wife, Mary Beth, are perfect examples of living an active lifestyle. Congrats Greg! "I had reached a plateau in my level of fitness and weight management. I had been going to another local gym and cycling a lot. I was making very small gains and becoming so bored with the workouts, motivation was pretty low. After doing some "Googling" I found Barefoot, read a few of the stories and decided to give it a try. I'll be honest, after the first day I wasn't totally hooked. The workout was very different than what I had been doing. It was very different than anything I had ever done. Because I got a full week for free, I really wanted to give it a go. Besides, there's an old saying… read more »
May 2016 Member of the Month- Elicia Holien
Congratulations to the May 2016 Member of the Month, Elicia Holien! Elicia has been a member for 3 years. She has been an inspiration to so many people. In those 3 years, she has spent just as much time (if not more time) working out pregnant than not pregnant. Amazing right?! And now is a busy mother of 3 kids, 3 and under. She has been a continuous example of determination to be the best version of herself. "Three years ago, I found out I was pregnant with baby #2. Despite a very "average" weight gain with my first, I had just spent the past 10 months struggling with post baby weight loss. I had finally reached my pre-pregnancy weight (still not where I wanted to be) when I found out I was pregnant again. I made a decision. I wanted to come out the other end of this pregnancy not struggling… read more »

Introduction: The "Ring-Box" Ring
Hi, this is my instructable for the "Ring Challenge". It's something I invented a while back. I called it the "Ring-Box Ring". It's the only ring box that will allow you to display your ring directly where it belongs (on her finger), without spoiling the surprise. It's shaped like a ring and it opens once the real ring inside reached it's target.
Step 1: Making the Original Shape
I used cardboard 1 mm thick. I cut it with an x-acto knife and glued it together with wood glue. I didn't used any patterns at first, my only concern being the dimension of the hole. You want the box hole to be the same size as the ring's hole. We'll assume that the ring is the right size. (In all the movies I saw it was). The rings come in various shapes and sizes so I thought that's going to be a real problem for mass production. In the mean time 3d printers came along making it easy to produce anything you can think of, with a push of a button.
Step 2: Making the Silicone Mold
The box is made of two parts. It was extremely easy to make the silicone mold for the small part of the "Ring-Box Ring". For the big part I made the mold in two layers with a small hole on top for pouring the resin.
Step 3: Resin Casting
Having the molds prepared, I used polyurethane resin for making the actual boxes. In the end they were light, easy to sand and very, very resistant.
Step 4: "Ring-Box Ring" in Action
Here you can see the "Ring-Box Ring" in action. I thoutht it's a great idea so I tryed to sell it, of course, but didn't have much of a success. Jewelry box producers weren't interested in any new ideas. Maybe they thought their products can't get any better. In the end I decided to share it with you guys. Make your own, have fun, but never try to sell it as your own idea. It brings bad luck! Please share this instructable.

Very nice!
Very cool!
I dont see why people wouldnt buy it this is awesome!
Sorry, my words were a little ambiguous. I meant I tryed to sell the idea, you know, like inventors do, and make millions of dollars (in IT they do)
That's adorable
good idea ;)
That's pretty freaking cute. Thanks for sharing!
Can I buy one?
I only have one size for it. Try to make one for your ring.
This idea is amazing, you may not have been able to sell the idea, but it is actually very rare for inventors to completely sell there ideas! The best thing to do is patent your idea (If you have the spare money too), then sell these on craf driven sites such as Etsy. Once companies see a market for them, you can then release the PATENT to other companies, giving them the rights to produce your idea, with you making a pretty penny on the side. It is because when you patent your idea, you own explicit rights to it, but other companies interested in making it either have to tweak it, or buy the rights to it. By selling it on sites such as Etsy, you bring a following in which would bring promise company good results if they were to buy the rights to the idea.
I am looking at this and realized i would DEFINITELY buy this product. I would love to see this in production and if you are interested in patenting it, there are some resources i could shoot over to you on private message.
Inventor's never sell their ideas, only the patent. Otherwise companies will just steal the idea and patent it for their own use.
I hope i gave some helpfull info!
This is great! I'd love it if you shared your mold making techniques along with some dimensions. It would make it super easy to follow! Keep up the great work!

Project Description
FreeBMD, FreeREG and FreeCEN are three popular web projects run by Free UK Genealogy CIO (a Registered Charity in England and Wales). Free UK Genealogy provides free online access to historical data of interest to family historians and others. Our main focus has been the UK census and the registers of births or baptisms, marriages and deaths or burials. Over two decades, thousands of volunteers have so far transcribed over 400 million records. All are available, completely free of charge.
The databases, search engines and user interfaces are largely designed and maintained by volunteers, supported by a small team - a full time developer (Vino-S), a part-time project manager (richpomfret), and three part-time management and admin staff (PatReynolds, DeniseColbert and two Helens who are not on github). FreeREG and FreeCEN use MongoDB, Ruby on Rails, and Refinery CMS. FreeBMD uses other software, and we are moving to using Rails and Refinery CMS with MySQL.
We've written a blog post, 'How to get involved with Open Source' which explains how you might get involved with an Open Source project - including ours - and some more about our projects and how we manage them. https://www.freeukgenealogy.org.uk/news/2017/12/30/how-to-get-involved-with-open-source/
Project's Requirements
Because we are all home-based, we feel that our opportunities may be particularly suitable for people who are unable to commit to a traditional 9-5 office placement, for example those with certain disabilities, or caring responsibilities for children or parents.
FreeCEN and FreeREG work in two-weekly sprints, meeting at UTC 15.30 - 17.30 every other Wednesday. FreeBMD2 works in weekly sprints. We also use Slack for communication and have channels for tech volunteers and projects. You will be invited to join our community.
A few skills which are good to have but are not necessary:
Ruby on Rails
Refinery CMS
AI or machine learning
Experience in documenting your work
You will be getting support from a range of mentors, depending on the languages and skills needed in your your project. We aim to develop your skills and confidence, providing both group/one-to-one support where needed and ensuring you don't feel out of your depth.
Some of our work is absolutely suitable for beginners, particularly the implementation of FreeBMD2 - let us know which of our ideas you would like to work on or the kind of skills you want to grow and we can work out what might be a good fit for you.
You are encouraged to try out our websites before or during the summer. If you are unfamiliar with (British) genealogy, a good place to start is https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/genealogy - a free online course. Maybe you could even become a transcriber - so you can suggest new ideas and paths which you can work on independently.
One course you could use to get familiar with MongoDB is: MongoDB University
Upfront: could you help out with one of the 'good first issue' tasks from our waffle board? If you can replicate a bug or accessibility issue - can you look at the code and suggest where the problem might lie? Perhaps suggest a solution?
Tasks And Features
- Work with volunteers and staff to understand and document the full requirements for a feature
- Suggest and explore solutions to issues with the features
- Write code, and follow the test processes
- Document your work, including providing help notes for users, if required Potential projects are tagged "SoC" on github and some are explored in more depth here: https://www.freeukgenealogy.org.uk/about/pages/gsoc/ideas-2019/ They include: Interactive Search (FreeCEN) https://waffle.io/freeukgen/freecenmigration/cards/5a78410f8fe575001eb1dfe7 To explore and experiment with building machine learning/ai routines in order to build a search interface to replace the interim interface which we have on freecen2.freecen.org.uk which starts with asking the person's name, and then adds additional questions one at a time to arrive at an unique individual or small number (ideally 20 or less) of individuals who may be the person being looked for.]
Review FreeCEN2 Site usage Patterns
A task to investigate how best to optimise our MongoDB sharding strategy based on how the database is used. This is a good opportunity to learn more about how non-relational databases operate and how best to optimise them based upon user data/searches. In order to decide on sharding strategy and shard key (#260) we need to know how users are actually using the new system to choose shard key based on typical usage patterns instead of just a guess at what the patterns will be. Of particular interest is whether most searches are done by specific census years or by "all years" as all years was not even an option in FC1.

Err, kind of obvious I know, but then on the other hand maybe not quite so obvious.
Take shopping for example. Where I live there are 2 great weekend markets. One on Saturday, the other Sunday. The Saturday market has a large number of stalls from farm fresh vegetables to home baked bread and cakes to hand made sausages and pies. Lots of yummy food there! The Sunday market is similar, except it is mostly organic, and vegetarian. One is about 6 miles from us, the other maybe 12 or so.
On the other hand there is a small supermarket 3 minutes away by bike, and a large 'all singing, all dancing' supermarket 10 minutes away by bike, and about 5 by car.
Using the large supermarket I can get the weeks shopping done in an hour from door to door. I can write a list of everything I need for the weeks planned meals, and be confident of getting it all. And then that is that boring job done for the week. I can even top up during the week, if necessary, using the bike and the local supermarket.
Using the farmers markets, I have to drive (although I could cycle to the nearer one, the route is busy and currently unpleasant due to major roadworks). I can take a list with me, and I may, or may not get what I have decided upon. As the food is fresh and normally in its original state, I cannot expect it to last all week, unless I process it at home afterwards, by cooking or freezing it.
So by using the supermarket I can be done with a tedious chore for the whole week inside an hour…maybe an hour and a half if we include putting everything away when I get home. This leaves me the rest of the day to spend my time doing what I want.
Using the farmers market means dedicating the entire day to shopping and food preperation and preservation.
But then, at the supermarket I speak to no-one except maybe the cashier…with a conversation that rarely runs to more than "How has your day been?" "Fine, thank you". The food is often highly processed, contains weird ingredients with very long names or strange code numbers, and wrapped in non recyclable packaging. As it has to last the week it will include pre frozen items as well as canned items.
At the farmers markets, however, things are very different. A stop at the vegetable stall includes a chat about the weather this week and how it has affected the crops. Also a tip that asparagus is almost over so I had better make the most of it this week. As I move onto the bread stall another conversation leads to a great new recipe. It's a hot day, so I stop for a fresh juice at the juice bar and catch up on the events of the week with a fellow runner who staffs the stall. I meet a friend and we pass the time of day. She tells me about a new stall around the back which is selling home grown and dried herbs and spices including some really great new mixes.
The produce is packed directly into my own re-usable bags, or packed in plain brown paper bags. There is very little waste and almost everything is fresh or minimally processed. If anything is processed, take those spice mixes for example, a chat with the stall holder will reveal not only the ingredients but the full details of the processing, enabling me to choose what I want to buy.
So choices have to be made. In my case I think I prefer the farmers markets and the fresh produce, even though I have to travel further to get there. But some weeks I need my time for other things and off to the supermarket I go.
For slow living, of course, there is no choice to be made. Food grown with love and care by small producers, bought from a friendly thriving local market, and then carefully prepared at home is the very essence of slow living. What can be more important than the food we nourish ourselves with every day?
Yet it takes time. And, as we all know, time is the one thing we cannot get more of. We all have the same 24 hours a day to spend, and we must therefore spend it wisely. Slow living takes time. Lots of it.
And that can be hard to justify in todays fast paced world.

Honouring the Ancient Dead – Press Release – Reburial Handbook Launch
Today, Honouring the Ancient Dead (HAD) launches the first edition of its Reburial Handbook. This short document is intended to help those considering, or have decided, to rebury parts of their collections of ancient human remains. It offers suggestions on where to find help and resources that have been drawn together during HAD's consultations with museums, burial grounds and the funeral profession.
HAD sincerely hopes that this first edition will be received as a useful document in its own right as well as being a stimulus for the wider discussion of the issues and opportunities presented by the UK's large collection of ancient human remains. Future editions will contain updates to best practice advice as this becomes available, and will extend the contact details of professionals able to help as these come forward. We would welcome contact from any museum or archaeological society interested in discussing any of the issues raised or in carrying out a reburial project that may be used to inform future editions.

Laura Welsh – Let Me Go London
Laura Welsh releases new track 'Let Me Go London'. Produced by long-term collaborators Richard Frenneaux and Graham Archer (mixer), 'Let Me Go London' is a song that underneath the surface covers themes of empowerment and embracing the beauty in the unknown. Unapologetically honest as always, the arresting and pulsating gospel track showcases Welsh's power vocals.
Speaking about the track, Laura Welsh explains "… Although London and LA are referenced the song isn't about the location or geography of a particular place. This is a song that is simply about accepting the way you are built. Accepting the way you are natured. And most importantly accepting the need for change to be able to truly move forward… No more than that really…"
Having spent the last 9 months writing in various rooms around the globe for her own project, co-writing for other artists and producers and collaborating on original songs for upcoming movies, Laura will head into the studio of over the summer to start production on the follow up to her debut album 'Soft Control'. Watch out for more music coming soon.
