about us & our work
Single-wall carbon nanotubes are a fascinating material. They combine mechanical strength and lighness with the properties of a perfect metallic or semiconducting wire. Many applications of these macromolecules can be imagined, both in industry and fundamental research.
Here, in our research group at Regensburg University, we focus on the electrical and mechanical properties of single carbon nanotubes at ultra-low temperatures (T<100mK). The nanotubes are freely suspended over trenches in the chips. This way, they can vibrate similar to a violin string. As the mechanical resonance frequencies are both very high and tunable, they provide - for example - one of the best possible systems to probe the quantum limit of mechanical motion.
Our main objective is to combine such nano-electromechanical circuits on-chip with superconducting nanoelectronics. This will enable us to use high-frequency techniques to detect and eventually coherently control the mechanical motion.
In addition, we look at the details of supercurrent and / or spin transport through quantum dots, which form naturally in nanotubes at low temperature. In particular, we are interested in the interplay of superconducting or ferromagnetic contacts, the Kondo effect, and phenomena as e.g. spin blockade or the spin-orbit interaction.

Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
General Anesthesia Dentistry
General anesthesia or deep sedation is also referred to as " Sleep Dentistry." Before having sleep dentistry we feel here at The Dental Anesthesia Center, that you should understand exactly what sleep dentistry (general anesthesia) is. Read More…
Dental Implants
Before the development of dental implants, dentures or partials were the only alternatives to replacing teeth or a missing tooth. Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and offer a solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Read More…
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Read More…
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth.
Teeth Whitening
Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth. The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco. Read More…
Invisalign's® invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners will give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted. And best of all, no one can tell you're wearing them. Invisalign is great for adults and teenagers.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root.
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue.

State and local agencies are always looking for ways to improve response times and communication in emergency situations. Video conferencing services allow emergency responders to quickly and accurately provide real-time feedback to their base of operations. This instant face-to-face communication can improve emergency management, response training, and command-post communications in times of critical need.
When attending to citizen services, many agencies put a strong focus on improving the reach and quality of these offerings. Video collaboration solutions can improve operational efficiency and citizen satisfaction by extending the reach and quality of services to wherever citizens are located. Video conferencing can also drive internal efficiency through secure collaboration among geographically dispersed personnel and multiple agencies.
In the past, video conferencing was believed to be reserved for agencies with large budgets and IT teams. However, today video conferencing solutions and services provide cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions that can be used at any level of government. These tools allow individuals to connect face-to-face at any time, from any device, and from any location. This functionality can reduce travel costs, increase efficiency and improve productivity agency-wide.
Visual collaboration solutions can deliver quality education to more students in less time. ivci.com/solutions/industry/ed…… twitter.com/i/web/status/80940…@IVCiLLC

Milk Isn't The Only Drink That's Good For Your Bones
You've heard the advice to drink milk for strong bones. Milk and other dairy products are indeed good sources of the calcium that's needed to help prevent osteoporosis. However, calcium isn't the only bone-healthy ingredient you can get from a beverage. Here are a few ingredients and drinks you may not have considered.
1. Catechins from tea. A recent study of green and black tea consumption demonstrated increased hip bone mineral density in elderly women who drank the tea. Previous research also arrived at similar conclusions. Green tea contains particular polyphenols that help slow down aging-related bone loss and bone loss that's related to estrogen deficiency.
2. Lycopene from tomato juice. Tomatoes are as beneficial to human health as they are delicious, and the fact that they contain lycopene has a lot to do with that. Lycopene is known for its skin-related benefits, but it's also showing promise for the prevention of osteoporosis. Studies have found that lycopene consumption is linked to a lower incidence of hip and bone fracture and also to decreased thinning of bones.
3. Vitamin K from green juice. Juicing has become a major trend among the health-conscious, and green drinks are at the forefront because they're a convenient way to get in your daily recommended servings of fresh vegetables, especially if it's hard for you to fit loads of spinach and kale into your everyday diet. In one study of more than 70,000 women, those with a higher intake of Vitamin K had a lower incidence of hip fracture. Vitamin K rich foods include kale, watercress and spinach. Greens mainly contain Vitamin K1. To obtain Vitamin K2, which is also beneficial to bones, consume foods such as egg yolks and organ meats. Natto is a vegetarian source of vitamin K2 that's a common food in Japanese cuisine.
4. Fructans from the tequila plant. A recent study is showing promising bone-strengthening results from a substance found in the blue agave plant, which is a spiky succulent used to make traditional tequila. Researchers found that fructans extracted from blue agave helped increase the body's calcium-absorbing capabilities, leading to increased bone density in lab mice. This research hasn't been conducted on humans and is still in its early stages, so don't start chugging margaritas just yet, thinking it's for the good of your bones. However, if you're going to drink tequila anyway, choose the kind made from blue agave if you want some possible bone-health benefits.
A healthy diet that includes beneficial drinks, exercise and medication when needed can all help you to maintain strong, healthy bones.

Soba Noodles with Zucchini Ribbons
I extremely love edamame. There was a time where I viewed them cautiously in all you can eat Japanese restaurants, but now I can sit and easily eat a bowl full, popping the beans out of their pods. And I love buying frozen shelled edamame to add to anything, including edamame hummus (which I've yet to make).
I love how this dish looks - the dark soba noodles contrasting with the green zucchini, edamame and green onion. (Soba noodles are usually made of buckwheat and can be found in Asian grocery stores.) As for the taste, it's something a bit different (in a good way) but the flavour could be punched up a bit. Make sure you have everything prepared before you start!
I'm sending this to Gay for Presto Pasta Nights.

4 oz soba noodles
1 large zucchini
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, or to taste
3 tbsp mirin, or to taste
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 cup shelled edamame
1 cup sliced mushrooms
3 green onion stalks, thinly sliced for garnish
Heat a pot of water over medium heat and when it is boiling, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain.*
Use a vegetable peeler, and carefully slice the zucchini into long, thin strips. Set aside. Combine the soy sauce, mirin and cornstarch in a bowl, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the garlic for 30 seconds, and add the edamame, mushrooms, zucchini and soy mixture, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds more, or until the vegetables are heated through**. Remove from the heat.
To serve, put equal portions of the noodles in individual bowls or on plates, and spoon the vegetables and sauce over top. Garnish with scallions and serve.
*My package of soba noodles says to cook it for 6 minutes, but they're completely cooked after about 2.
**I used frozen edamame so I stir-fried for a few minutes until the edamame were hot.

Back door in gaming:
Gamers mostly play the game both in the gamers point of view and the opponents point of view similarly most gamers who like to break through the game in the best way they can they look through the game in the gamers view and also the developers point of view and by this they are a able to break through the game and find the complete game's guide and also the Brawl Stars hack 2020 and cheats in different stages and for different needs in a particular game not just this they also find the hidden tips in the game and this they do through the back door of the game.
Well a back door is always created by the game developers so that if there are any issues in the later stages of the game launch in spite of taking the game out of the market they use this path to run through the games as other gamers play and find and rectify the problem. This backdoor is a path way that is created by the developers as they create each phase and come out of it through the same way they can navigate back in as well this is found by the hackers and coders and find the hacks cheats and tips as well and they leave it out in public.
Super cell development:
The first game that the Super cell Gaming company launched was Clash of Clans and that took all gamers a separate interest to play the game as it was full battles and wars between clans like in the olden days later they developed a game based on brawls but as it was taking time to keep the gamers more interact with their games they launched the Clash Royale battle between to kings and now as they had a grand hit of profit through these two games they have developed another game similar to that of these two games named as Brawl Stars.
Backdoor in the Brawl Battle Game:
This game consists of 15 brawl characters and has four gaming modes and is completely based on battling the opponent and collecting the more number of diamonds amongst the four game modes one game mode is named as showdown that is the arena will be accumulated with 10 different players they might even have the same brawl at some cases all are real time players playing online and the game winner will be the last one to stand and it is like a death match.
Whereas the other three modes are 3 on 3 battle mode the objective is to collect the diamonds and the most diamond collector or bounty collector in respective game mode. Well it is reviewed as one good game for now as it has just had a soft launch in Canada for just iOS platform users from June 15th 2017 and hopefully soon will be available for all global gamers both in iOS and Android platform but before it could have a hard and grand launch the coders and hackers have found the cheats hacks and the game guide as it has a unsecure back door compared to the previous games published by Supercell hopefully before the grand launch Supercell upgrades the backdoor security.

The third installment of the Nina Borg trilogy (Invisible Murder, 2012, etc.) shuttles back and forth between a nerve-racking present and an unspeakable past.
Now that she's been arrested for trying to stab her abusive fiance, Michael Vestergaard, to death, what else can go wrong in Natasha Doroshenko's life? Hours after she escapes the police officers transferring her from her prison cell to a Copenhagen station for questioning, someone succeeds in killing Vestergaard, and police commissioner Mona Heide is convinced it's Natasha. Only Nina Borg, a nurse who observed Natasha and her daughter Katerina, 8, at the Coal-House Camp, believes that she escaped to take her daughter away from the camp, not to finish the job on her former lover. As Natasha, Nina and the police, with the unwanted assistance of a mysterious pair of Ukrainian cops, work at desperate cross-purposes in the present, trouble is brewing in Ukraine during the famine of 1934. Olga Trofimenko's father, Andreij, who has brought his wife and children—Olga, her older sister, Oxana, and their younger brother, Kolja—to Mykolayevka so that he can manage the collective farm there, abandons his family to take up with another woman, throwing them on the dubious mercies of their doctrinaire schoolteacher, Comrade Semienova, and Uncle Stalin. Sooner or later, of course, this grim past will collide with the troubled present, and trying to imagine how they'll come together, and whether their connection will justify all the threatened coincidences and loose ends, is the chief pleasure this ice-cold thriller offers.
The most conventionally plotted of Nina's three adventures, and the one in which she has the least to do, is still required reading for fans of the burgeoning field of new Nordic suspense.

The Center for Responsive Politics has released a personal finance overview for each member of Congress. We did a little number crunching and found some interesting figures regarding Colorado's congressional members.
Collectively, Colorado's nine-person delegation is worth $166,900,678.
Credit goes to Internet extraordinaire Congressman Jared Polis -- he's ranked as the country's seventh richest member of Congress, and his stash of cash makes up a whopping 92 percent of the Colorado officials' collective net worth. Polis is founder of three Internet businesses, which he sold in multi-million dollar deals.
Honorable mentions go to the millionaires of the delegation: congressmen Bennett, Coffman, Tipton and Udall, and Congresswoman DeGette.
Congressman Cory Gardner trails behind the rest with a net worth just over six-digits.

Imagine buying shares in a company that could be closed down overnight.
That is in some ways what Renren (人人網), dubbed the Facebook of China, asked investors to do.
Last week, investors complied: Renren raised US$743.4 million in an initial public offering (IPO) and its shares jumped 29 percent on their first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
However, Renren's operations, which include social networking, gaming and online commerce, walk a thin line of compliance with strict Chinese regulations around freedom of information — and if they cross the line, the consequences could be very severe.
"People at any social network in China that is going to be successful are going to be very sensitive to playing the game by the rules," said Dixon Doll, cofounder and general partner of venture capital firm DCM, which is an investor in Renren. "You're going to have to pay attention to the will of the Chinese government because they are going to ... keep a very close look on the kinds of activities that go on."
China's rules for sharing information online have become stricter since authoritarian regimes across North Africa and the Middle East have been toppled or challenged by protesters.
The Chinese Communist Party leadership is determined to stamp out even the hint of such protests immediately. It learned a harsh lesson in 1989 when mass demonstrations threatened its control and triggered a bloody military crackdown in Tiananmen Square.
"They may regard [Renren] as a friendly enterprise, but if an enterprise turns unfriendly, I think they would cut the cord," said Donald Straszheim, senior managing director of China Research at International Strategy & Investment Group.
China has already blocked social networking sites Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and YouTube, while Google Inc essentially pulled out of China last year after run-ins with the government over censorship and hacking.
The government routinely shuts sites down or more commonly blocks content it sees as a security risk — and recently, Chinese President Hu Jintao (胡錦濤) called for yet more oversight and "mechanisms to guide online public opinion."
However, Beijing also sees social media as a valuable gauge of public sentiment and a way to show the Chinese it is sensitive to what they want, said Michal Meidan, a China analyst at political risk consultancy Eurasia Group.
In this peculiar environment, China-bred Internet ventures have adapted, learning to skillfully navigate the system.
In the case of a company like Renren, that means blocking whatever you are told to block by the authorities and also by self censoring, which means reading the political winds so that you block other material you fear could be controversial.
"It's a constant game of cat and mouse," Meidan said.
Renren itself acknowledges the tenuousness of its position in the risk factors section of its IPO prospectus. While these disclosures are notorious for listing the most extreme risks, in this case, they may well be worth a closer reading.
The company says it is prohibited from allowing content that, among other things, "impairs the national dignity of China," is "superstitious" or "socially destabilizing."
If Renren fails to comply, which would be determined by the authorities, the company says its business could be shut down.

All You Need Is LoveFebruary 14th, 2013 Posted in Uncategorized
Musicians, artists and poets have been writing about love since the beginning of our times. In my humble opinion love is the only thing worth dying for.
Since today is Valentines day I wanted to post a few thoughts that I have come across that help me immensely in staying centered in my relationships.
We have a tendency as humans to over complicate things and over think them. Happiness and love are very simple if you adhere to a few sound principles that have stood the test of time.
1. Love Yourself- Be kind to yourself. If you do not love yourself you bring nothing to another person except neediness.
If you truly think about it every single human emotion can be broken down into either love or fear. Jealousy equals fear, for example fear of loss. Anger is a fear based emotion, often based in not having control. Resentment is completely fear based. So you see I make it a point to make my decisions based on love. Here are three profound precepts a good friend of mine that specializes in helping couples developed.
1. Do not worry about things going well, just keep loving your significant other.
2. Remember in love you are always put in what seems like an unsolvable problem.
3. Remember this- What would you do if you were not scared about whether or not your lover is backing off?
There is a great, brilliant gentleman named John Gottman. He wrote a book it is called Why Marriages Succeed or Fail: And How You Can Make Yours Last
This book should be the text of a required course and be taught in high schools in my opinion. It carefully and counter intuitively debunks and demonstrates the principle foundation required to have a loving, sharing, caring relationship that stands the test of time. John and his graduate students meticulously have researched successful marriages for over 40 years and he can predict with a 93% accuracy rate whether a couple will divorce. He has gone on the record saying that he could get it to 100% accuracy if people would not lie.
Here are 4 things he recommends to avoid that are detrimental to love. He calls them the 4 horsemen.
1. Criticism
2. Contempt
3. Defensiveness
4. Stonewalling
It is not always easy to say what we feel and do what we love. It can make us feel vulnerable and cause us to put up walls and shields.
Just remember sometimes…
The best defense is no defense at all.
Much love,

Reall, the international funding partner of LinkBuild, conducted a weeklong visit to the Philippines to monitor and gather updates on institution's activities and programs. Several workshops were carried out with LB and its other Philippine Alliance partners from December 5 – 10, 2016, discussing particularly LinkBuild's capacity as a Housing Development Enterprise in crafting its own products and securing its niche in the market.
Philippine Alliance undergoes 4-day Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship Course provided by the Ateneo de Manila School of Governance (AsoG) and the Institute for Social Entrepreneurship In Asia (ISEA).
Octobor 31, 2016 - The regular bi-annual Reall Stakeholders' Group (RSG) meeting was held in the U.K., at a very relaxing and peaceful conference venue on the outskirts of Leamington Spa town, not very far from the Reall offices in Coventry. In this meeting, LinkBuild was represented by its Board President, Marlon Palomo; its Executive Director, May Domingo Price; and its Senior Finance Officer, Grace Go.
In the months of November and December 2016, twelve units of transitory houses were constructed at the site of LinkBuild's future housing project in Sitio Caniba, Talisay City, Cebu. The units are now occupied by ten families who are members of the Kimba Cansojong Homeowners Association, Inc. (KCHAI), with the remaining two units being used as satellite office of the Homeless People's Federation Philippines. The ten families had to dismantle their existing houses in order to clear the access road to the landowner's other property located behind the site.
Dec. 23, 2016 | The last seven qualified clients of the USWAG Core Housing Project received the keys to their new houses in a turnover ceremony facilitated by LinkBuild and the Homeless Peoples Federation Philippines Inc. (HPFPI). The event was held at the HPFPI Site Office in USWAG Subdivision, Brgy. San Isidro Jaro, Iloilo City.
A team from LinkBuild and from Homeless People's Federation Philippines (HPFPI) held several workshops and activities in Talisay City with their partner community, the Kimba Cansojong Homeowner's Association (KCHAI). This is the second major stage of an ongoing process of jointly working with KCHAI to find sustainable solutions towards owning the land they have occupied for around 30 years, and having decent houses.

Savannah – In answer to a lot of questions I've been getting lately, the Savannah Chatham Municipal PD (SCMPD) has gone encrypted with their communications on the SEGARRN system. Based on recent monitoring, their Primary Dispatch, Car-to-Car, Records, and Tac channels are all encrypted. It sounds like any interoperability channels are still unencrypted. Fire and EMS channels for Savannah, other municipalities, and Southside are still unencrypted.
SCMPD joins Brunswick PD, Glynn County PD (partially encrypted), and what I believe to be the Savannah Chatham County Public Schools school buses as encrypted users of the SEGARRN system. The various Fire Departments and EMS services remain unencrypted with the exception of some of the EMS to Hospital talkgroups, so there is still activity to listen to.

Urbana: A favorite evening activity is "Bingo Night" in Urbana. At left is Ronnie Kaufman with DSP Miranda King, concentrating on winning and Marian Bowers (R) very much enjoying herself along with DSP Michelle Heilberger.
Wapakoneta: Sixty consumers and staff enjoyed a "regional appreciation" cook-out on a beautiful September day at the Auglaize Group Home.
CRSI provided the mainstays, but the staff provided all the "delicious extras", according to Sue Ulis, program administrator.
James Stachler (L), a consumer from Mercer Co. and a DJ for 'Jamey's Jams' provided the music. Everyone had fun dancing to the Hokey Pokey and Sweet Caroline. James is pictured visiting with Charles Knostman of Minster.
Madison Co.: A recent trip to Nashville won't be forgotten anytime soon and eight consumers and three support staff can't wait to go back and see more.
The group got to see the Charlie Daniels Band, Little Big Town and Jeannie Seele at the Grand Ole Opry. They went on a back stage tour and stood in the performance circle where all the famous singers have performed over the years.
The group experienced much of Nashville's other tourist attractions as well. They went on a dinner cruise on the General Jackson Showboat; took a three hour bus tour to see the "homes of stars"; went to the Ernest Tub Record Store, Willie Nelson Museum, Cooter's Dukes of Hazard Museum, and to the Nashville Night Life Dinner Theatre. While at the Loveless Café, Debbie Morris' Uncle Bill joined them for dinner.
The group also walked all around downtown Nashville and did a little old-fashioned window shopping. "They're still talking about it", says Amanda Davis, program specialist.
Put-in-Bay: Jason Fields of Fulton Co. and his home manager Bonnie Randolph recently rode the Jet Express to Put-in-Bay Island for a late summer excursion. They enjoyed all the popular lake destination spot has to offer, including the wildflowers.
Jason is pictured with two of his favorites…pizza and Frosty Root Beer.
St. Marys: Labor Day weekend was a "splash" for two ladies from Auglaize County. Patty Conners (left) and Heather Myers had a great time cooling off at a splash park in Rockford, Ohio.

- 3 cups Deya's Gluten-Free Cake Flour
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) very cold unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/3 cup very cold vegetable shortening
- 6 to 8 tablespoons (about 1/2 cup) ice water
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Dice the butter and put it back in the refrigerator while preparing the flour mixture.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add Deya's Gluten-Free Cake Flour, salt, and sugar. Using the steel blade attachment, pulse a few times to mix.
- Add the chilled butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, or until the butter is the size of peas.
- With the machine running, pour the ice water into the feed tube and pulse until the dough forms a ball.
- Dump the dough onto a board lightly sprinkled with Deya's Gluten-Free Cake Flour. Form the dough into 2 balls. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Sandwiched between two pieces of wax paper, roll one of the balls of dough into a circle. Roll from the center of the dough to the edge, rotating often.
- Once the dough is rolled out, take the top layer of wax paper off, and flip the dough into the pie pan. Remove the other piece of wax paper and clean up the edges.
- If just making the bottom take remaining crust, form snake with the excess dough from cleaning up the edges. Add to rim of pie pan and design with fork or finger.
- For a top crust, roll out the second half of dough to same size and shape over top of filling. Seal edges, trim and flute as desired.
- Once you've added your desired filling, beat the egg with the milk and brush onto the visible parts of the crust with a pastry brush. This will make the dough golden and crispy.

It is important to review performance through good communications. As the snow recedes our thoughts turn to the spring and the unpopular annual appraisal season. Why are appraisals or performance reviews dreaded by some and feared by others?
Many managers despair at the thought of stopping work as they see it to have to prepare and then interview their team members. This stoppage, of course, is accompanied by a complicated, sometimes arcane system which does not look as if it has anything to do with the tasks in hand. There are the usual mutterings about it being a waste of time, the lack the skills to carry out the process, or they have no time to prepare. So what then is the response from the top? 'Let's patch it up with a one-day practical workshop'. Of course, later most companies realise they need two days training simply because their paperwork is so onerous and complicated. The paperwork has completely taken over the process and everyone has to learn again how to fill in all the forms again.
Why are performance reviews so onerous?
One of the reasons is that many company schemes have been developed over time and with lots of different inputs. New managers bring in favourite bits from their old company's scheme and add those to the original. Someone reads a book on competencies or hears on the grapevine of other ways to record information and these are added to the mix. Eventually, any scheme will just buckle under the weight of documentation. And how do they try to sort it? Often by putting it all online or on the company intranet and the system then separates from reality and the people doomed to run it. It recreates itself as it blossoms and grows.
A major shock to this organic method of getting an appraisal system was the recent introduction of competencies. Wow! More to measure and more to score. It's not difficult to see why people find appraisals so unpopular. And when people question why they don't deliver improved performance it time to bring in someone from outside.
I had two interesting dilemmas with two different clients last year. One had evolved their appraisal paperwork to invite the managers to score their staff on a five-score grid and the first item was 'honesty'. I mean do you really want to review annually how honest someone is? Do you want to employ someone who only gets a '3 or worse a 2' for honesty?!! My other client did not really understand what a competency was and had been left with an appraisal system asking managers to score their staff for a competency of' Health and Safety'. The scoring categories (which should have given them some hefty clues) were 'being a role model' through to 'must do better'.
An annual performance review or appraisal can be so much easier, less time consuming and much more beneficial to both the organisation and the participants. But to be more useful you must go back to the beginning, tear up the existing documentation and remind yourself why you are doing it. Answer the question – 'what is the objective of doing a performance review?' For me, the appraisal is quite simply to encourage and improve performance to the benefit of the individual and for the organisation. It includes setting objectives against the company's overall goals and identifying any learning needed to help the individual to achieve those objectives
The appraisal is all about communication
It is an interview or conversation. It needs to be a formal discussion between two adults in three clear parts:
- First, you review together what happened over the previous year. You discuss and give and receive feedback on successes. If required the manager can offer feedback on how tasks might be improved.
In essence – What worked? What didn't? What might have helped? Hindered?
- The second stage is for the manager to share the company overview and business plan. What are the objectives at the top of the organisation, what will be the impact on your team? Finally, the two adults agree on the way forward for the next year. This is normally by agreeing on objectives based on the company's key objectives. It will also include identifying training to help the appraisee achieve those objectives.
- After that, it is easy to add the recording documentation for your appraisal. It can be just an A4 sheet because all you need is a summary of what was agreed from the discussion and a record of the agreed objectives and training for the following year.

CHLOË GRACE MORETZ admits she felt a twinge of envy in the summer of 2008 when the action movie "Wanted" was about to be released, and the austere visage of its gun-toting star, Angelina Jolie, seemed to be staring at her from every billboard in Los Angeles.
So she put out the word to her Hollywood representatives: "I really want to do an Angelina Jolie-type character," Ms. Moretz said recently. "You know, like an action hero, woman empowerment, awesome, take-charge leading role."
A month later she got her wish when she was offered a part in the adventure film "Kick-Ass" as Hit Girl, a mysterious vigilante who leaves a trail of bullet casings and body parts wherever she goes.
"My mom was like, 'It's exactly what you've been wanting to do,' " said Ms. Moretz, who was 11 years old then. (She's 13 now.)
The movie, which opens on Friday, is the director Matthew Vaughn's violent and foul-mouthed satire about aspiring crime fighters who use traditional weapons to compensate for their lack of superhuman powers. While its maladroit title character (played by Aaron Johnson) learns the heroic ropes, it is Ms. Moretz, clad in a purple wig and matching pleated skirt and wielding a mean double-edged blade, who usually utters the foulest language and perpetrates the most gruesome acts of brutality in the film.Continue reading the main story
For anyone unfamiliar with the "Kick-Ass" comics series (written by Mark Millar, who also wrote the comics version of "Wanted"), Hit Girl has been the movie's most persuasive ambassador: the Internet went wild this winter for an R-rated trailer in which Ms. Moretz enunciates an obscene word that little girls are definitely not supposed to say, right before she slices and dices her way through a room full of drug dealers.
But Ms. Moretz and her character raise a recurring question about what limits, if any, should be placed on young actors involved in adult storytelling, and to what extent these performers understand the roles that they are playing. For some critics Ms. Moretz's performance is stirring the same discomfort they felt when a 13-year-old Natalie Portman strutted her stuff for the ruthless hitman played by Jean Reno in "The Professional."
Mr. Vaughn, who previously directed the crime drama "Layer Cake" and the fantasy "Stardust," and who wrote the screenplay for "Kick-Ass" with Jane Goldman, described Hit Girl as one half of "the ultimate father-daughter relationship, where Barbie dolls are replaced with knives, and unicorns become hand grenades."
Raised by her father (played by Nicolas Cage) to be "a fully trained, brainwashed assassin," Mr. Vaughn said, "she is not normal, and therefore the rules that apply to other people do not apply to her."
In seeking a young actress who can be both sugar and spikes, it is not hard to see why the makers of the movie would gravitate to Ms. Moretz. On a visit to New York last month, lounging in a private suite at a boutique hotel in Manhattan with her brother Trevor, 23, Ms. Moretz had no trouble acting her age, fiddling with a bottle of designer water or spontaneously singing a chorus from Lady Gaga's "Dance in the Dark." ("This is Chloë after dark," she explained.)
But when discussing her career she assumed the sophistication of an actress twice her age. Each film she appears in, Ms. Moretz said, "sets a new brick in my acting wall."
"The more bricks I have, the better I am at acting," she said.
She has built that wall quickly with movies like "(500) Days of Summer," in which she played Joseph Gordon-Levitt's precocious younger sister, and the 2005 remake of "The Amityville Horror." She has hazier memories of other early roles, booked when she moved with her parents and four brothers to Los Angeles for her father's plastic surgery practice. "I was so tiny," she said. "I was a little 6-year-old."
Trevor Moretz, who is also Chloë's acting coach, and her mother, Teri, read all the scripts she is sent by her agents, and try to balance her grown-up fare with family-friendly movies (like the recent hit "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"). When "Kick-Ass" arrived, the Moretzes felt it was a showcase for Chloë's grit and athleticism; they recognized its harsher aspects too but believed she was up for the challenge.
"Being the youngest of five children," Teri Moretz wrote in an e-mail message, her daughter "has a very well-rounded view of the world." She added: "It definitely pushes boundaries, but Chloë knows the things that Hit Girl says and does are fictional."
For Chloë herself, Hit Girl was an opportunity to keep pace with her cinematic idols, to do something "no other kid had done except for Natalie Portman in 'Léon,' " she said, using the European title for "The Professional."
Not that Ms. Moretz knows that Luc Besson film firsthand. "I haven't even seen it now," she said glumly. "I'm not allowed."
Nor had she seen many of the performances that Trevor regarded as Hit Girl's antecedents, including Ms. Jolie in "Wanted" and Jodie Foster in "Taxi Driver." She was, however, given a special dispensation to watch Uma Thurman in the "Kill Bill" movies. "It was hilarious," Ms. Moretz said. "It's not like, 'Oh, I'm killing people with real blood.' It's fake."
Before filming on "Kick-Ass" began, Ms. Moretz spent several months in Los Angeles, London and Toronto training in gymnastics, body conditioning and weapons safety. ("Always check your gun when someone gives it to you," she said. "Make sure it's a fake bullet.")
During the six-month shoot she was also told time and again by her mother, her brother and her director that Hit Girl, and not Chloë, was the one swearing and shooting at villains. The lesson seems to have sunk in. "When they call cut, I leave it behind," Ms. Moretz said. "You should see me after a crying scene."
Ms. Moretz's co-stars praised her for her maturity on set. Mr. Cage, who started acting in his teens, said he appreciated the dangers that child stars face "when not all the ideas are completely formed, and you can get into a lot of trouble." He added, "You can do things that derail your path."
Ms. Moretz is "not in it for those reasons a lot of people get involved in filmmaking, the look-at-me syndrome," he said. "She's interested in building characters."
But the filmmakers are bracing for the reception that the movie and Ms. Moretz may receive. In Britain, where the movie was released at the end of March, David Cox of The Guardian assailed its creative team and Ms. Moretz's mother for allowing that swear word spoken by Chloë to become "acceptable parlance for children in mainstream movies," adding, "We'll be the poorer for it."
Mr. Vaughn said this kind of condemnation was hypocritical because it attacked the movie's language while essentially forgiving its violence. "I was like, 'Does it not bother you that she killed about 53 people in this film?' " he said. "I'm like, 'Would you rather your daughter swore, or became a masked vigilante killer?' They're going, 'Yeah, I don't know.' "
Via e-mail Teri Moretz wrote that criticism of her or her daughter did not hurt her. "We know who we are and what we believe, so we don't listen to other people's opinions," she wrote.
The flap over the movie has hardly hurt Ms. Moretz's career. She will next be seen playing a child vampire in "Let Me In," an American remake of the Swedish horror film "Let the Right One In," and has been cast in a film adaptation of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret," the Brian Selznick children's novel about a Parisian orphan and his robot, which Martin Scorsese plans to direct.
Until his sister reaches the age when she is old enough to choose her projects for herself, Trevor Moretz said it is his and his mother's responsibility "to look out for her in this industry, and make sure there isn't any manipulation or exploitation."
"She's a very smart girl," he added.
Ms. Moretz fired back, "Woman!"
He conceded, "She's a very smart teen."
Though she plans to continue acting, Ms. Moretz said she might like to fly a helicopter or go sky diving to help conquer her fear of flying. ("When you're of age," Trevor said, "go for it.")
Asked if there was anything she wanted to do on screen that her family would not yet allow, Ms. Moretz said, "I want to wear heels, if that counts. Just give me some Christian Louboutins and a gun."Continue reading the main story

As you can see, it's not the best photo. My partner took a better one of him as he crossed the finish line last year ...
We were so happy though that we had arrived in the nick of time and so excited for him that he won (you're just going to have to believe me on this one since I cut out more than half the kids in the photo!). I was so excited I just couldn't hide it. I saw a man in front of me who I thought was my dad and slapped him on the back and said "He won!" The man turned around and I realised it was not my dad at all; it was the school principal. Oh dear. Let's rack it up to another muddle-headed moment.
Here are some other photos that I took of the carnival ...
(the boys of red faction)
(tired baby sister watching her big bro)
(time to go home)
(home, but not quite hosed ... and all revved up for next year!)
P.S Ben did ask me if I would go in the parent/teacher race, but I quietly mentioned to him that after
my experience in the teacher race at the school I taught at last year, it was probably best for everyone if I just gave it a miss.
Linking up this {not quite} Wordless Wednesday post today with Bree, Trish and thatsuburbanmomma

An 8 day glimpse into the diverse cultures and landscapes of Namibia, traveling through Damaraland, visiting a cheetah conservation project and wildlife viewing in Etosha National Park.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Windhoek.
Arrival at Windhoek International Airport. Meet and greet by our representative. We proceed via mountain terrain to Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia. Enjoy an afternoon township tour. The township tour gives visitors the opportunity to learn about the history, development and people of Katutura. The sprawling suburb on Windhoek's northern outskirts some 10 km from the CBD was established in 1950s as a result of South Africa's apartheid policy of divide and rule. Today Katutura is a crowded suburb where people from different cultures live together in peace and harmony. From iron shacks to up-market houses, it is diverse, lively and historical place to visit. The night will be completed with dinner with a local family. Built in 1912, this restored German Manner, rich in Victorian styling has a wonderful Mediterranean atmosphere. Unique private rooms boasting hand crafted furniture and luxurious styling are surrounded by a beautiful garden.
Day 2: Roy's Camp.
Our journey takes us to Roy's camp – live the Africa dream, where you can settle down in one of the rustic bungalows and spoil yourself with some excellent farm style cooking and Namibian hospitality. En route we will stop over at the cheetah conservation fund were we will join a brief informative tour of the project and will learn more about the project and have the opportunity to get up close to the world's fastest land animal, the cheetah. It is a unique and the most specialized member of the cat family and can reach speeds of 70 mph. Unlike other cats, the cheetah has a leaner body, longer legs, and has been referred to as the greyhound of the cats. It is not an aggressive animal, using flight versus fight. With its weak jaws and small teeth, the price it paid for speed, it cannot fight larger predators to protect its kill or young ones.
Day 3: Grasshoek Living Museum.
The morning is set aside for an excursion to the San Historical Living Museum in Grasshoek. You will be entertained with singing, dancing, traditional games, learn a few words (click language), shoot a bow and arrow, throw a spear and watch a traditional doctor heal a patient. Other activities include, being taught to make woodwork, music instruments, jewelery, clothing, bead work and hunting gear.
Day 4: Etosha National Park.
We depart for Etosha National Park, "Etosha" – "Place of the great white spaces" was once a vast shallow lake created, Heigum Bushmen legend tells us, by the tears of a grieving mother. Okaukuejo Resort – situated at the southern entrance to the park, is the oldest establishment in Etosha. The unique attraction of this resort is that it overlooks a permanent waterhole that is floodlit at night, giving visitors the opportunity to see some of the shy, nocturnal wildlife. Enjoy a night game drive after dinner.
Day 5: Damara Land.
Our journey continues after a brief early morning game drive to Damaraland with its rugged landscapes, spares population and great mountains. Perched on the rim of the Grootberg Plateau, the Grootberg Lodge stands sentimental over the Klip River Valley. Relax and rewind for the afternoon.
Day 6: Himba Village Visit.
After an early morning breakfast we will visit one of the last most traditional peoples of Namibia in a small settlement near Palmfontein surrounded by makalani palms and dry river beds. These friendly people, closely related to the Herero, are herdsmen, breeding mainly cattle and goats while leading a semi-nomadic life. Learn how the proud Himba women spend many hours on beauty care and clean themselves with herbal steam baths. See their homesteads, cone shaped structures made from palm leaves, mud and cattle dung. Enjoy picnic lunch before returning to the lodge.
Day 7: Erongo Mountains.
We continue our journey towards the Erongo region where we will check into Erongo Wilderness Lodge.

MOROCCO: Rioting breaks out ahead of Sunday pro-reform protest
What began as a protest against foreign control of Moroccan public services Saturday escalated into anti-government rioting that could presage volatile gatherings Sunday in a planned nationwide day of protest in demand of reform.
Tanjanews.com reported that a small group in Tangier protesting utility contracts recently awarded to a French firm swelled to include hundreds who had to be contained by anti-riot police. The agency posted pictures on its website showing a vandalized car and smashed windows at the local office of French firm Veolia and the bank branch of Societe Generale.
No shots were fired and the demonstrators, complaining of inflated utility bills for services provided by foreign contractors, were dispersed without tear gas or force, the agency reported.
A coalition of Moroccan youth groups calling themselves the February 20 Movement has called for mass, peaceful demonstrations in the cities of Rabat, Casablanca and Tangier on Sunday to demand constitutional amendments to modernize the monarchy, resignation of the government and parliament, and recognition of the Berber language as official alongside Arabic.
The demonstration has won the support of former palace spokesman Hassan Aourid, a sign the royal family that has ruled for 350 years may be willing to cede key governing powers and continue to reign as figureheads as in Britain, Spain and other European countries.
The youthful activists of the February 20 Movement say they don't want to overthrow the monarchy, rather to gain its support for realignment of power in the kingdom.

FIM 2014 European Championship
Keith Bartlett and Trakbak Racing have issued the following statement:-
The 2014 calendar has now been ratified by the FIM Europe Management Council. Sadly due to Tierp Arena being taken into bankruptcy, and there being no sign of a new operator being announced in time to confirm events for the 2014 season, the dates previously scheduled at Tierp Arena for 2014 are now unconfirmed. Keith Bartlett, the Promoter of the FIM Europe - Drag Bike European Championship is very keen for Sweden to hold its rounds of the Championship, however he is also very much aware that riders and teams have to confirm commitments to sponsors and need to make travel arrangements and neither of which can be left unconfirmed indefinitely. In addition, the promoter has to confirm the TV package for 2014 with a broadcaster, something which they have not been able to do for the last two years due to the reluctance of the former management at Tierp Arena to follow the TV production conventions observed by every other organiser holding a round of the FIM Europe Championship since its inception.
Taking all of the above into account the Promoter has proposed the following:
Tierp Arena will be allowed until the last day of February 2014 to confirm its race dates and to have those dates confirmed by FIM Europe as being part of the 2014 FIM Europe calendar. These dates will be accepted subject to a signed contract being in place to allow a TV production to be made from the race, and the Promoter receiving a written commitment confirming that all outstanding financial commitments are to be met.
The official 2014 FIM Europe Drag Bike European dates are as follows:
Round 1: Santa Pod Raceway, England, 23rd-26th May
Round 2: Tierp Arena, Sweden, 12th to 15th June unconfirmed
Round 3: Alastaro Circuit, Finland, 3rd-6th July
Round 4: Hockenheimring, Germany, 8th-10th August
Round 5: Tierp Arena, Sweden, 21st-24th August unconfirmed
Round 6: Santa Pod Raceway, England, 4th-7th September
