Adrian Ivakhiv
is a Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of
Vermont, with a joint appointment in the Environmental
Program and the Rubenstein
School of Environment & Natural Resources. He currently
holds the Steven
Rubenstein Professorship for Environment and Natural Resources
and heads the EcoCulture Lab,
which organizes collaborative engagements between ecologically
oriented artists, scientists, humanists, and the broader
community. He was recently named a University
Scholar at the University of Vermont.
His research and
teaching are focused at the intersections of ecology, culture,
identity, religion, media, philosophy, and the creative arts. His
books include Claiming
Politics at Glastonbury and Sedona (Indiana University
Press, 2001), Ecologies
of the Moving Image: Cinema, Affect, and Nature (Wilfrid
Laurier University Press, 2013), and Shadowing
the Anthropocene: Eco-Realism for Turbulent Times
(Punctum Books, 2018). With its historical breadth and theoretical
innovation, Ecologies of the Moving Image has been called
and authoritative," "groundbreaking,"
a "landmark
contribution" to the growing field of ecological cultural
studies, and the first book of "eco-film-philosophy." Expanding
and deepening the eco-philosophy of the earlier book, Shadowing
the Anthropocene presents a process-relational
"philosophy of life," a philosophy that sees images as part of the
battleground in which humans contest the meanings of an
increasingly turbulent world. His current work includes projects
on the Chernobyl Zone of Exclusion and the philosophy of time,
"regimes of the image," ecological themes and approaches across
the arts, and an anthology of writings on spiritual practice.
Prof. Ivakhiv
has served as president of the Environmental
Studies Association
of Canada, an executive editor of the Encyclopedia
of Religion and Nature (Thoemmes Continuum Press, 2005),
co-editor of the new international, open-access, peer-reviewed
journal Media+Environment,
and on the editorial boards of several journals including Journal
for the Study of Religion, Nature, and Culture, Green Letters, The Journal of
Ecocriticism, Environmental
Communication, and two book series in the
environmental humanities. His articles have been published across
numerous disciplines including film and media studies, cultural
and literary studies, religious and pilgrimage studies, human
geography, and Ukrainian studies. He has been interviewed by
popular radio personality Krista
Tippett, profiled in a book of "post-Continental"
philosophers, and invited to speak on four continents and in
over a dozen countries.
interdisciplinary background includes work in the humanities,
creative arts, and social sciences. Canadian by birth, his
research on culture and environment has taken him to late- and
post-Soviet Ukraine (including a year in 1989-90 as Canada-USSR
Scholar studying the cultural impacts of the Chernobyl nuclear
accident), the Carpathian
mountains of east central Europe, Cape Breton
Island and Haida
Gwaii off either coast of Canada, and to other sites of
cultural-ecological contestation in the U.S. Southwest, southwest
England, central and eastern Europe, and elsewhere. In a previous
life as a choral conductor and ethno-psych-avant-garage-folk-thrash
musician, he performed at monasteries in Egypt, concert stages in
Ukraine, and at the Canadian Parliament Buildings in Ottawa
(honestly, once). When he isn't teaching, researching,
writing, or
attending committee meetings (aargh), he makes music,
hikes in the Green Mountains, eats Vermont's artisanal
cheeses, and reads The
Nation, Grist, Spacing, and Ji
Magazine. He has lived in Burlington since 2003. From his
west-facing window he watches for Champ.

intersections of ENVIRONMENTAL THOUGHT (environmental
ethics and philosophy) and CULTURAL STUDIES (issues
of cultural identity, ethnicity and regionalism, nationalism and
transnationalism, media studies, visual culture, social justice,
affect and mobilization). While he utilizes humanistic and social
scientific methods, his work falls comfortably within what has
come to be known as the "ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES." You
might think of it as the "Culture of Nature."

A 41-year-old woman has allegedly taken to a man with a baseball bat after first trying to attack him with a chainsaw in southern NSW.
Just before 5am (AEDT) on Saturday, police say the woman approached the back fence of a home in Junee, near Wagga Wagga, armed with a chainsaw, and attempted to assault a man, 24, on the other side.
The woman left the scene, returning a short time later armed with a baseball bat and metal chain.
Police have been told the woman assaulted the man with the bat, leaving him with minor injuries.
They arrived soon after and were allegedly "confronted" by the woman.
She was eventually taken to Junee Police Station, where she was charged, among others, with assault, assaulting police and armed with intent.
She was refused bail and will appear at Wagga Wagga Local Court on Sunday.

before & after: small home redo
I am in full agreement with Peta Mazey, the owner responsible for this wonderful home transformation: Sometimes, as she says, you just have to "throw white at it." White may not be the most novel color, but as this home proves, white can do wonders for brightening a space and making it modern, fresh, spacious and clean. What I love most about Peta's use of white is her total commitment to the monochromatic base: the white walls, curtains and lighting fixtures provide a lovely gallery-like setting for Peta's colorful, curated selection of objects and furniture pieces. The space feels anything but small, and was all completed on an extremely reasonable budget. Amazing job, Peta! — Kate
Have a Before & After you'd like to share? Shoot me an email with your images right here! (Low res, under 500k per image, please.)
Read the full post after the jump . . .
Cost: I was lucky enough to get the paint as trade for a photo session, so the only major cost was $2000 (about $1630) for the floors to be sanded and polished. I was under a tight budget, so all the furniture (minus the beds, which were gifted) came in at about $1000NZ (about $815).
Basic Steps: I know it's been done a lot, but I subscribed to the school of "throw white at it." It is such a small space, and the front room butts directly into the street, so the nets are always closed. Therefore, the white really lightens and opens up the space. The exposed wood joinery suffered from years of revarnishing and was an ugly bright orangey colour. So I decided to cover that up, too, and I'm so happy I did. Especially with the exposed floorboards. That seemed to add plenty of warmth (although definitely not literal warmth!). The house came covered in fantastic anaglypta wallpaper that I think looks awesome in white (it reminds me of Jonathan Adler pottery) and is quite a feature in person (more so than in the pictures). It's a really small house, so I had to be very careful about furniture purchases. I scored a great mid-century dining set that fit perfectly into the bay window in the lounge, and I kept everything else quite small.
My advice: Try to do as much as you can while you have the steam! I can't believe how much got done in such a small amount of time. I have barely done a thing since moving in, even though I've been here a year now. The front door still hasn't been painted! It was suggested to me to do a room at a time, but I decided instead to do a job at a time, so all the woodwork got painted at once, all the tacks got lifted at once, and all the walls got painted at once. It was a big mess, but I think doing it a room at a time would have taken longer somehow. — Peta

hi all i am absolutely new to linux /ubuntu.
How to send a mail from command line?
I used the below.The command seems to right.
echo "hi buddy " | mailx -s "Could you please help me" email@example.com
But i am not getting the mail in my gmail inbox when i check it.
Do i need to set something else in my terminal?
I tried to ask google.
But being a beginner i hardly understand the technical jargons and don't get my exact reply.
Could you please help?
You may have to configure the MTA (Mail Transport Agent) to use the providers mail server for sending mails.
So your MTA authenticates at the providers mail server, sends the file, to that server and the server sends the mail to it's final destination.
Thanks Paulsep for the prompt reply.
But could you please say how to configure this MTA?
What commands to use for this or which site to refer for this?
I would highly appreciate if you could let me know the steps.
So that you're using mailx, I assume Postfix is also installed as MTA.
You may check this by using the following command in a shell:
rpm -qa postfix
Also check whether postfix is running:
ps aux | grep postfix
Read the man pages about postfix or visit
I just finished setting up postfix following the steps given in
Still the mail is not working.
I have some confusion in the steps.
1.when it says server1.example.com can i put server1.gmail.com?
2. Can i enter any word of my choice when it prompts me to enter passphrase?
3.As the line says
"If you want to use port 587 as the submission port for SMTP mail rather than 25 (many ISPs block port 25), you will need to edit /etc/postfix/master.cf to uncomment the relevant line for port 587 there."
I don't find the no 587 anywhere commented neither 25.
4. As per the first step of troubleshooting do i need to set the Configure saslauthd to Default?
1.So can i put the name like Geeking4awhile-laptop if that is my laptop/computer or this needs to be some IP/localhost?
2.There is a step in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
Generate certificates to be used for TLS encryption and/or certificate Authentication:
here there are two commands which ask me country name passphrase,state name...etc.
the commands are
openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -x509 -days 3650 -out smtpd.crt # has prompts
openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650 # has prompts
ISP's mail server :could you please give an example of this in layman's term or what you would keep if u needed to.
Mean while i am trying to locate that.
THANKS for such valuble informations buddy!
In your /etc/postfix/main.cf, you have to add a line like this:
relayhost = smtp.gmail.com
You have to change the relayhost to match your needs.
So e.g. the mailserver for outgoing mails of GMX is mail.gmx.net.
Also add the following lines to your main.cf file:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
NOTICE: The whitespaces are necessary at both sides of the equal sign.
The password, needed to authenticate at your providers mailserver must be configured in the /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd file.
smtp.gmail.com your_password
Hi Paulsep i added the line with whitespace
relayhost = smtp.gmail.com
this field was previously blank
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes :this line was already there.
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd : this line i have not added yet.
Was wondering can i make it work without password first.
But still it does not work it says Unable to connect to remote host connection timed out when i use telnet smtp.gmail.com/telnet smtp.gmail.com 25
The command to telnet the mailserver is:
telnet smtp.gmail.com 25
Should work !!!
it seems that i have to also add smtp.gmail.com in the line below before the relayhost?
mydestination = server1.example.com, example.com, localhost.example.com, localhost
i had used the command you said
that could not connect.
mydestination looks like this:
mydomain = your_local_domain_name.com
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost, $mydomain
well i got my host name /domain name by going to /etc/resolv.conf
Hence exactly i made the line as below
mydestination = asianetindia.com
myhostname = asianetindia.com
i have also tried my destination gmail.com
It did not work
I tried with relay host = asianetindia.com as well
Nothing did work :-(
which of the following lines i need to modify/add my values while reconfiguring the postfix in the first step?(In case i am doing something wrong....)
General type of mail configuration: Internet Site
NONE doesn't appear to be requested in current config
System mail name: asianetindia.com
Root and postmaster mail recipient: <admin_user_name>
Other destinations for mail: server1.example.com, example.com, localhost.example.com, localhost
Force synchronous updates on mail queue?: No
Local networks: 127.0.0.0/8
Yes doesn't appear to be requested in current config
Mialbox size limit (bytes): 0
Local address extension character: +
Internet protocols to use: all
Should i put my system name in the following line?
Root and postmaster mail recipient:
May be i have to reconfigure the postfix file from the beginning and get back to you guys.
Things you have to configure in the
Postfix configuration files:
# START main.cf
myhostname = your_machine_name.your_domain # your machine name is normally listed in the /etc/hosts file
mydomain = your_domain # if myhostname is e.g. pc1.homedomain.com, mydomain is homedomain.com
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/24 # if your local network is 192.168.0.0/24 (255.255.255.0). Otherwise make changes to match your needs.
relay_domains = $mydomain
mailbox_size_limit = 0 # for no limits
message_size_limit = 0 # for no limits
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
smtpd_helo_required = yes
disable_vrfy_command = yes
opt_delay_warning_time = 1
# recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
smtp_delay_reject = no
strict_rfc821_envelope = yes
smtpd_banner = $myhostname NO UCE ESMTP
smtpd_client_restrictions =
smtpd_helo_restrictions =
smtpd_sender_restrictions =
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
smtpd_data_restrictions =
inet_protocols = all
inet_interfaces = all
# END main.cf
# START master.cf
# A lot of comments
# then the first smtp entry
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200
-o receive_override_options=no_address_mappings
pickup fifo n - n 60 1 pickup
-o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks
# the rest should be ok so far.
# END master.cf
# START transport
# many comments
# then at the end, add the following lines
your_domain_name :
.your_domain_name :
* smtp:smtp.gmail.com
# change the your_domain by your domain, configured at your system
# the fist 2 entries do deliver mails to local recipients
# the * smtp:smtp.gmail.com delivers mails to none local recipients
# END transport
# START sasl_passwd
smtp.gmail.com your_account_login_name:your_account_password
# END sasl_passwd
is it through above lines i would use google's mailing service to email.
What about upstandingnetizen's view that smtp.gmail.com should not be there in relayhost?
where this transport and sasl_passwd file would be found?
Transport and sasl_passwd is normally located in the /etc/postfix/
The mail host for asianetindia.com is asianetindia.com is smtp.asianetindia.com.
You have to use mail address and password to authenticate.
Mailserver, email address and password must be stored in sasl_passwd in this form:
smtp.asianetindia.com email@example.com:youpassword

text: In 2005, I bought a house at the Dallas County auction for a California investor friend who asked me to bid in his place. With the help of a Mentoring student, Gloria Stephens, I was given valuable information about the current owner. What type of person she was and whether or not she would willingly vacate the property if I ended up getting the house for my friend. The owner had accepted the impending foreclosure sale and had agreed to vacate the house within two weeks of the sale, in exchange for $500. The only catch was… She would not allow anyone to see the interior of the house before the auction. While that is not the norm, it does happen from time to time. Want more articles like this? Create an account today to get BiggerPocket's best blog articles delivered to your inbox Sign up for free Had the numbers been tight, I probably would have passed on bidding for it unless I was able to see the interior. The auction God's were on my side that day as I was the winning bidder (the ONLY bidder actually) on the house and even I was stunned that I was able to get it for $0.48 cents on the dollar (or 52% equity). I had done well and figured with the move out agreement in place, the deal appeared to be a "slam dunk." That's when things turned ugly. The previous owner would not return any of my calls. The move out date came and went with no sign of the tenant moving out. I placed a letter on the front door as a last resort before filing the eviction. No response. I filed the eviction and found that the tenant didn't bother to appear in court. The judge ruled for the eviction and I crossed my fingers that the tenant would not trash the house on her way out. The "put out" was scheduled for the coming Friday. Thursday afternoon I got a call from the tenant. I had never spoken to her directly and was rather surprised at how polite, articulate and pleasant she was. She was overly apologetic for not returning my previous calls and claimed she had been out of town for the previous three weeks "having to bury" her brother. I have been told a lot of things by people facing eviction and family deaths were not new to me. However, she was flawless with her explanation and I hate to say it but, I bought it. Her request was simple enough… Postpone the put out until the following Monday and in return, she promised to be out by Sunday night and leave the house in a broom swept condition. I called my friend who owned the house to ask him what he thought and our thinking was the same. We delay the put out two days and she hands over the house in a non-trashed condition. I called the Constable and he said he would see me Monday morning. That is when I really dropped the ball! The tenant had been so convincing that I didn't bother to drive by the house Sunday night to see if she had actually moved. OOPS! To make matters worse, I didn't bother to round up a crew of guys to move the contents of the house out to the curb while the Constable kept the peace. As I neared the house that Monday morning, I knew that I had made a serious mistake. The tenant had the U-Haul in the front but it was obvious that nothing had been moved until that morning. The Constable shook his head at me and said, "Where the hell are your movers?" Still stunned with how badly I had handled the situation, I pleaded with the Constable to give me 30 minutes to get some movers. He told me to go home and luckily for me… He said to come back the next morning "WITH the movers." As I walked back to my car, I glanced at the tenant who was standing at the front door, snickering as she waved at me. I showed up the following morning with six guys ready to empty out the house. The U-Haul was gone and it appeared the tenant took what she wanted and left a big mess behind for me to deal with. The Constable had me wait outside while he went inside to make sure it was safe for us to go in and start moving all the garbage out to the curb. He wasn't in the house for more than 30 seconds before he was back out in front of the house, waving us all off. He came over to me and said he can't allow us to go inside because the house was infested with… FLEAS! I tried to reason with him that the fleas couldn't be that bad. He only laughed and told me to see for myself. I gave the guys a confident look and walked inside. I think I got about six or seven steps in before I knew the Constable was not kidding. I was being bitten by more fleas than I could fathom. I turned and ran out of that house, with my arms waving all over the place and my feet bouncing around like they would if I was barefoot, trying to run across a parking lot paved with searing hot black top. One of the neighbors who was watching me prance around, managed to hold back his laughter long enough to yell out, "The Gringo Flea Dance! You can't buy entertainment this good!" Within a few seconds, a stream of water from a neighbors' garden hose hit me and about 30 seconds later, I waved my appreciation to the neighbor as the water had flushed the fleas off of me. Also laughing was the Constable. He told me to have the house bombed before trying to empty it. End of story, right? NOPE! I returned later that day with boxes and boxes of flea bombs and clothing that was more appropriate. I went in to set off a flea bomb but, right before I set it off… I saw something move. I walked over to the doorway where I had seen the movement and stopped dead in my tracks. It was a cat! And the cat had friends. All tolled… There were seventeen cats! How nice of that sweet to leave behind seventeen cats. It was good that she wasn't there at that time because she had left all of the windows and doors…closed! The temperature was easily 110+ degrees inside and she had left them in that flea ridden, sauna! Thankfully the SPCA was able to round all of the cats up that same day. I still tell myself that all of those cats were adopted but, in reality… I doubt that was the case. By the next day, the house had been flea bombed repeatedly and we were finally able to clear the house out. It was still a good deal for my friend but, I have not bid on a single house since, without first seeing the interior condition. I will end the Flea House story on a positive note… The previous owner, who had abandoned seventeen cats in the hot, flea infested house, was prosecuted for animal neglect and cruelty. It made me wish that she would have been forced to endure the same thing but, it dawned on me that she DID live in that house!

Low and behold, we are back. This is now the second in the series of what I am calling "What Is The News?" These articles feature recent events that were published on local news and media sites. The first looked at the fascinating phenomenon of litter picking. This can be found here.
Staying with that theme, and in fact staying with the same paper, this week's shocker is entitled "Portmead woman 'deeply upset' after wrongly accused for dropping a cigarette end". Quite the snappy title. This story was published in the March second edition of the South Wales Evening Post.
As you may expect from its headline, it is not quite the earth-shattering news that has customers rushing to their local Londis, and scrambling to get their sweaty hands on the latest print. At best it is gossip. And that is being very kind indeed. Rather than the type of story that gets the Twittersphere buzzing, it is more of an anecdote I would use to bore a taxi driver with on a drunken ride home from Wind Street. "And you know what… I didn't even drop the fag… I don't even smoke… couldn't believe it I couldn't. The cheek".
The fact a "story" such as this made it into the paper, did not come as much of a surprise to me. What I found more surprising was the fact that this article, woman wrongly accused of dropping cigarette, was written by the same reporter as last weeks litter story. Once again the Editor has forced poor Amy Downward to go out on to the streets of Swansea and interview, photograph and write up a story that is quite literally rubbish.
I don't know if Amy Downward is the Evening Post's head reporter on refuse, or the Editor has taken a strong dislike to her recently, but reporting on litter week in week out is going to be enough to crush the soul of any ambitious journalist. I mean the McDonalds litter pick story was ridiculous, but two stories in two weeks about rubbish?! Come on, that is not news. And that is not reporting.
At least with the McDonalds story you can understand why it was run. Initiative from management, bit of good press for the company, free public relations etc. But with this story, where on earth did it come from? Who on earth decided that being wrongly accused of dropping a cigarette was newsworthy? The woman who was accused, Amanda Roberts, didn't even get charged. Nothing happened! She was apologised to "unreservedly" for the mistake that was made and then everyone went back to their own lives.
Perhaps if a cigarette butt was the cause of a death, perhaps if someone dropped a cigarette butt and then one of the Queen's corgis wandered over to it, decided it felt a little peckish, had a little nibble, subsequently choked on it, keeled over and collapsed in front of the entire Royal Family and the gathered UK press, perhaps then it would have been newsworthy. Perhaps then Amanda Roberts could feel slightly aggrieved for having been accused of dropping a cigarette and murdering a royal canine. But that did not happen.
And not only did nothing happen, according to the article, nothing happened three months ago! Three months! "Amanda Roberts … was out shopping in Swansea on December 4 last year…". How could she have waited such a monstrously long time to deliver to the world such a heart wrenching tale? Why on earth Amanda Roberts waited three months to inform the press is utterly beyond me. I assume it was her that went to the press, I may be wrong. But I hardly see the press hunting this story down, weeks of detective work to find leads and angles, and then pounding at the door of Mrs Roberts late one night, in the pouring rain, begging her to tell them the story. I can't see that being the case.
Unlike the previous article on litter, this one seems to have gathered a fair bit of attention. At the time of writing it has sixty two likes, and thirteen comments. Unfortunately the majority of the comments are being as kind as I am. Swanseajock states "No story really. Accused, denied, denial accepted. Nothing to see here", in a rather sarcastic tone Lunkhed comments "I expect she will never be able to work again with all the stress this has caused", and ever the blunt speaker Geek-Police writes ""Deeply upset" – Good God woman – get a grip".
"Deeply upset" are the words of Amanda Roberts herself, she used this phrase to describe how she felt after what had happened to her. The use of the phrase "deeply upset" is slightly baffling to me though. Either we are dealing with one of the most sensitive people on earth, someone so sensitive that they waited three months before they were able to tell anyone about their traumatic experience, or she is lying. If Amanda Roberts can be "deeply upset" about having someone accuse her of dropping litter, then I would advise we remove her from society and wrap her in cotton wool and bubble wrap because there are far worse things in this world to get upset about.
I get deeply upset about the crisis in Syria, and the fact that people are starving to death across many regions of Africa, and the fact that there are people living in Britain forced to live on the street. I get deeply upset about the anti-gay laws that have just been passed in Uganda, and about the process of female genital mutilation, and animal testing. I get deeply upset about hearing the news of a friend or family member who has died, and about drone strikes killing innocent people, and about the mass slaughter of dolphins that happens annually in Japan. I get deeply upset about these things. Being accused of dropping litter does not even register on the scale.
On a lighter note, after the incident, and following the apology, Amanda Roberts "was provided with a Stubby pocket ashtray" by the litter enforcement officer. What a gent. What is that saying about every cloud?

Hi there. I'm sure I am not alone in having days when you just can't quite decide what to do? Well, today is one of those days...
Firstly I wandered around like a lost soul for a while; then I thought I would start on a friends christmas present; then I stopped with that because it was not inspiring me. So now what?
Well I decided to do some preperation work in the hope that I would get some focus so I sat and made flowers, 22 in total; and yes my creative block has gone and I have some ideas and wish they would dry so I can carry on!
I'm sure that there will be tutorials on how to do these so I won't bore you; if you want the basic instruction though just leave a comment and i'll tell you.
Be blessed

First T-Mobile(s tmus) then Sprint(s s) and now AT&T(s t) is rolling out a software update to the Moto X(s goog) handset that's meant to improve the camera performance. I noted the inconsistency of the Moto X camera output in my review and really found that to be the only issue with the phone. If the update addresses the problem it will alleviate what I think is the Achilles Heel of the Moto X.
AT&T's consumer blog said on Friday that the update would begin to roll out, so it could be staged. Here's a full breakdown of what's in the software:
- Camera enhancements:
- Enhanced camera auto-white balance performance and color accuracy.
- Improved exposure when taking photos outside or backlit, and improved clarity in low light.
- Faster touch-to-focus time and reduced unnecessary refocusing in low light or scenes with continuous motion.
- Faster response and improved accuracy when using Touchless Control and easier set up and training of the "Ok Google Now" trigger.
- Enhanced transfer of content from old phone to new phone using Motorola Migrate.
- Fine-tuned feature that allows you to find phone when it is lost that sometimes prevented a lost phone from reporting its location.
Aside from the camera improvements, I'm happy to see the Touchless Control getting faster and more accurate. I use the feature a few dozen times per day and although it's great at understanding my speech, more speed would be welcome. Once I get the update on my handset, I'll share thoughts on the camera improvements.

by Reb Akiva @ Mystical Paths
How can we even begin to describe Lag B'Omer in Meron at Kever Rashbi – Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai? Words fail, but we'll try.
Meron is a sleepy mountain village with a holy site, the burial place of the holy tanna, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. On an average day the village of a few thousand may get a couple of hundred visitors to the holy site up the narrow mountain roads.
On Lag B'Omer it becomes the site of the largest Jewish festival in the world. What started over 400 years ago as a small celebration by the mekubalim – the kabbalists of Tzfat (Safed) celebrating the author (or source material author) of the holy Zohar – the book of Jewish mysticism, what started then has turned into a festival where over 500,000 travel from all over Israel and all over the world to celebrate and daven.
The holiness of the day and the miracles attributed to the merit of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai abound. For many the celebration is a way of life as a tent city springs up behind the kever as many come a full month in advance and live at the holy site.
As Lag B'Omer comes closer, the numbers swell and as it arrives tens of thousands arrive to stay in the village, in nearby tent cities, and in all nearby towns and villages. On the day itself buses travel from every city and town in Israel bringing those who wish to visit for the auspicious day. And not only by bus, plane loads of Jews from around the world arrive as well!
What brings them all? The joy of Torah through the secrets of the Torah. Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai (Rashbi) represents the mystical path of the Torah, the deep essence, the theology, the actual connection between the soul of a Jew and our Father in Heaven.
And the secrets of that connection…they're worth celebrating!

Pundits like David Broder and Jason Zengerle are consistent in attacking the blogosphere. Broder believes we're mean to President Bush and not nearly as skilled with the English language as, well, for example, him. Zengerle thinks we are simple-minded rubes being led like sheep. They both believe that all will be lost if we don't return to listening to their words of wisdom. They want and need this to be true. They can only tolerate their peers, other pundits, disagreeing with them.
Before the Protestant Reformation, priests were the only path to God. Before blogging, pundits were the brahmins who told us what to think regarding politics. With the Reformation, every man could become his own priest. With blogs, every man can become his own pundit. Broder, Zengerle, and their ilk are immaterial in the internet age. They are no more important than Kos or Jane Hamsher or, gee, even me.
They just don't like having competition in the marketplace of ideas.

Day 5: "No Name Yet" Kitten: General Update
|Hey everybody. I have a lot of big news to report, so strap in. First, the kitten had her worst night so far, last night. Beginning at around 4AM, we heard the worst crying sounds coming out of her yet. I came into the spare room, to make sure she was okay, and she was running back and forth screaming her guts out. When I tried to approach her, she hissed, spat, and even tried to take a nibble at me. From outside, I could hear a cat crying in response. I hoped against hope that it was Mom Cat, and that they had somehow found each other and were calling out to one another. So I threw on pants, and rushed outside. It turns out at 4AM, our street becomes ALIVE with strays; I saw cats I had never seen before, but sadly, the crying stopped, and Mom Cat was nowhere to be found.
I went back inside, and NNY would simply NOT be consoled. I tried swaddling her, I tried laying on the floor with her, I tried putting her in her box and talking to her…but she didn't quiet down until about 6AM, and I went back to sleep.
Now, the good news is, she is eating like a champion and even using her bad leg when she walks. She also used the litter box, rather than the blanket. If nothing else, I take her sudden uptick in hysterics last night as a sign that she must be feeling better and truly grasping what is happening to her…but I still am not sure how to help her feel better. I am trying everyone's suggestions, in turn, but I am thinking what she really needs is time.
Two more pieces of AMAZING news. First, as you can see by the new title on the thermometer, we have found a winner in the naming contest. Out of 111 votes, I am pleased to announce that "Millie" is the winner! "Millie" captured almost 38% of the votes, with "Kismet" coming in second with 13% of the votes. So congratulations Caroline, you can be expecting your $20 prize before the close of the weekend. Thank you very much to everyone who voted. You can view the full results here.
In even MORE amazing news, I am VERY pleased to announce that we have reached our goal for donations. I am completely floored by the generosity of strangers, and so happy that you all have gotten behind this story and offered such wonderful suggestions, advice, and support. When I first decided to solicit donations, I thought that MAYBE I might hit the $500 mark…but you proved me very, very wrong. It is incredible to see the Internet used for something other than spam and pornography, and you have restored my faith in the power of interconnectedness. To donate your hard earned cash to such a cause truly renews my faith in the generosity of people, and I can't begin to thank you all enough. You have absolutely gone above and beyond, and like I've said many times before, this kitten really does belong to each of you.
So, this is the last time I will be flogging the donation thermometer. Of course, Millie (it's hard to get used to saying that) will have further costs, including suture removal next week, spaying, and vaccinations, so if you would like to donate more, you are certainly invited to do so. But the worst of it is over, and now I can stop begging. And of course, I will continue to keep you posted on her progress, including healing, socialization, and what I ultimately decide to do with her. So please, keep following her story, and keep your suggestions coming. I couldn't have done this without you.

For two days I looked around my black seaweed forest and gathered up the one hundred twelve crossbow bolts that the gillmen had missed me with. Only fifty were broken. Sixty-two were still perfectly usable. Of the fifty, I could most likely fix them all too. I did not push myself, just strolled around the fronds. When I found broken ones I piled them on top of the pearls that I had removed from the gillmens belt pouches. I would need to make more bolt quivers from the black seaweed. Or better yet remake the belt pouches into them. A project for tomorrow, now that I have found all the bolts.
I was just about to relax for the night when a cone of boiling water surrounded me from behind. It burned but still I turned to see the source. A tiny dragon with scales like the shallows on a sunny day attached itself to the front neckline of my eel skin studded armor by its front claws. "Thief." It hissed in my face. If I had not turned it would have been secure upon my back.
"I have stolen nothing from a dragon" I said removing the bayonet off the chain belt. "But I will defend myself," I added stabbing up into the dragon.
"Liar." The dragon states biting the tip of my nose. "The gillman told me how you killed his guards and stole my tithe of forty saltwater pearls."
"I stole nothing from you." I declared, stabbing the tiny dragon again. It opened its mouth wide and a cone of the boiling hot ocean water hit me directly in the face. I couldn't see. All I could feel was the pain from it. I fumbled with my left hand at the chain belt and pulled off my potion of healing that I had gotten off a skum I had killed a while back. I uncorked it and drank it quickly. The dragon took a swipe at it but missed. The pain receded. It was still there. I wasn't even healed from the last fight with the gillmen from just two days ago and now this but I would survive. I jerked my head to the right as the dragon tried to bite me again then stabbed it. I jerked my head straight back the next time, not sure which direction the dragon was going with its neck swaying all over. Then I simply stabbed it again.
Then it happened again. The tiny dragon used its breath weapon to superheat the water and spray it in my face again. I pushed up at its head and neck with my empty left hand when I saw it open its mouth wide and most of the steam missed me this time. Then I stabbed it with the bayonet in my right.
The dragon fell limp. I pulled the sea-knife and went to slice its tiny neck. So tiny was the neck of the dragon and so sharp the blade that I took the dragons head clean off. I noticed an inky blackness like black seaweed between the wings on the back on the tiny dragon. I pulled its claws carefully out of my armor. After all, the armor was new still and it had cost me a lot. I let the body fall backward. Making an X across the chest of the tiny dragon was an oversized thing made of black seaweed. I saw ties in its center and carefully undid them. I unwound the black seaweed revealing a bandolier able to hold eight potion bottles. Right now it held five. The way it was wrapped around the tiny body as well as the extra bulk of the potions had made it difficult to identify.
I pulled the potions out and spread them out evenly around me in a circle. Then I tied the bandolier across my chest and over my left shoulder.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then I opened my mental senses. Once per day I could use these senses to detect magic. Anything more than that and I would end up with a blinding headache. If I used the sense for any longer than a minute I ended up with the same result. All of the potions has magical auras, this was a given. All of their magical auras were fain, a given again. Four had auras of the same color but a fifth was different.
I started with the different one. It had the same aura as my wand of healing. The same aura as the potion of healing that I had drunk during the battle with the dragon. It was another healing potion. I would drink it once I had identified the other four.
The other four were the same. A yellow color meaning a form of divination. Yet the potion within was black as ink but with a slight, metallic shimmer. I poured one of the potions in my hand and then rubbed it onto the dead dragon. Nothing happened.
I put the three remaining potions into the bandolier. I could have someone else identify them for me and tell me how to use them at a later date. I spent the rest of the night skinning and butchering the tiny dragon.

Just 9 of some 1500 so-called "Anglo-Saxon" artefacts - a stupendous find, regardless of provenance
OK, so we are supposed to be proud of our admixture of Anglo-Saxon and other genes. We are supposed to take pride in being an allegedly mongrel race (hybrid vigour an' all).
But have your read your Stephen Oppenheimer? He's the Oxford scholar who analyses modern DNA to trace our genetic roots. I blogged about his claims some 3 years ago. Oppenheimer rejects the idea that Anglo-Saxons supplanted the native Brits, sending us scurrying to the Celtic fringes. Oppenheimer reckons that the native Brits pre-dated the Celts, and indeed resisted numerous waves of invasion - the Celts, the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans, stubbornly staying put, and surviving - either by putting up resistance, or by assimilating the invaders.
Oppenheimer reckons that native Brits are derived from Basque migrants who recolonised Britain some 15,000 years ago after the last Ice Age, crossing the then still existing land bridge between the Continent and England.
So why is the treasure being described as Anglo-Saxon? Who's to say it is not native British - or, less probably, Celt?
OK, so it was discovered in a Staffordshire field, in central England, and is reckoned to be 7th century, when that part of England was in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia. But that does not mean that it was Anglo-Saxon treasure. It may have been of native British manufacture, possibly from the era (mythical or otherwise) of King Arthur, Camelot, and the Knights of the Round Table. It may have been taken from our dead warriors on the battlefield as war booty - or maybe our knights buried their finery (purely for show!) before facing the invader in battle wearing the equivalent of combat fatigues.
What's the evidence that Anglo-Saxons ever produced such exquisite artwork? I thought they were practical types, more concerned with clearing forest, ploughing, agriculture and animal husbandry? Their efforts went into producing axes and ploughs - not fine gold filigree ornamentation.
Yep, I'll put my head on the block. The "experts" have got it entirely wrong. It's not Anglo-Saxon treasure. It's British treasure. And no, I don't mean Celtic treasure - although that gifted if mercurial folk did produce fine arts and crafts - and are arguably more highly regarded in that respect than the Anglo-Saxons.
Nope, I reckon the treasure was produced by native "aboriginal" Brits, of Basque-derived stock according to Professor Oppenheimer - the true Brits - the ones who re-settled the British Isles, and who have managed to survive and prosper despite waves of immigrants seeking a better life. Britain's geography permitted co-existence within probably quite confined geographical areas - a few hundred square miles for example - which could be a little as 20m x 20m- thanks to our varied topography, the (then) more abundant forest cover, and, dare I say it, mutual tolerance and/or respect between native and newcomer. There was room for everyone who was prepared to work, and to "live and let live" - the British way. Britain was, if you like, the "New World" of the first millennium, once the Romans had left.
I repeat: the experts may have got it wrong. One cannot assume it is Anglo-Saxon treasure. It could well have been the exquisite handiwork of native Brits who succeeded in maintaining their genetic, ethnic and cultural identity over thousands of years - standing firm and finally expelling - or assimilating- the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Vikings and Normans.

It may come as no surprise that I've been collecting stacks of San Francisco street maps and travel guides from the 1920s, 30s and 40s for my Fly From Evil campaigns. Inspired by the look of a particularly nice map from the mid-30s, I built some fonts to create similar street labels, complete with identical mild stressing and bloating. This particular one, "Powell and Geary, " is the simplest of the lot, an all-caps labeling font similar to several faces common in functional, non-decorative graphics of the 30s, especially on maps and charts (I keep running into it, too, when reading old 1930s agriculture magazines; don't ask me why I'm reading such things...)
Powell and Geary font contains 107 defined characters and 75 unique glyphs. The font contains characters from the following unicode character ranges: Basic Latin (93), Latin-1 Supplement (2), Spacing Modifier Letters (2), General Punctuation (9).

Everything you need to know before joining
Another adventurous academic year comes to an end — our Dubai Chapter.
"It seems like yesterday when we walked in through those doors and wondered where we were; and now time has gone by so fast that we haven't realised it." I'm sure you all have heard this clichéd line in almost every end of the year speech you've ever heard (yes, Suyash, Pandey and I even said it last year in Singapore).
In all honesty, we kind of had an idea of what we were stepping into. We have seniors, duh, for those who don't know about it yet. But the difference was, we were very eager to experience it. We heard it was challenging and pushes the limits and that it was tough, which was a basic starter pack for scaring away potential students.
As we experienced Dubai life, we have a lot of memories and lessons. Sure, the experience of living in a building that is not the building we study in was different and waking up and showering before coming to class was a painful task; but it was something that taught us a lot. Personally, it made me realise that the concept of responsibility extended beyond the realm of academics and personal hygiene to managing housing for people, taking care of rental issues and all that stuff that adults do.
Then it hit, second year is over. I'm going to let that sink in.
For some of us, it's only one more year till we're classified as adults, for some, two more. It's an opportunity, not something to freak out about. After all, we've been waiting for it all our lives. Birthday after birthday, just saying "I can't wait to grow up."
Yes, Dubai helped us see all the regular stuff that college is supposed to make us see, like friendships, honor, truthfulness, academics and the concept of learning. But the one thing that I personally think all of us are going to take away from Dubai is that life is a game, and the "free trial version" is almost over. Now we "pay as we play".
Good luck everyone. See you soon, hopefully. If I won't, then I'll probably miss you. If I will, I hope we all can start off at better places from where we leave now. May the best player keep playing.

Kim Kardashian has hinted she's ready to break the internet again.
Nearly two years since going buck-naked on the cover of Paper Magazine, the mum-of-two has teased fans with another nude photo.
"Have I posted a nude selfie since I lost all my baby weight?" the 35-year-old said at the #BlogHer16 conference on Friday. "I don't think so. Get ready."
The reality TV star has lost more than 30kg since the birth of her son Saint West eight months ago, and is ready to show off the results.
"[I post nude selfies] because I feel good about myself," she said. "You can just get so caught up in not wanting to be motivated, so I made it a really important thing for my confidence and for me to feel good."
The social media star "broke the internet" in November 2014 by appearing nude and greased-up in Paper Magazine.
"I looked at it as an art project for me, this was going to make me feel confident and feel good and it taught me to do what you want to do," she said on Channel 10's The Project.
"Everyone should do what they're comfortable with. I'm never one to preach but I felt really positive and really good about myself. I loved the photos, I did it for me."
Kim's husband, rapper Kanye West, said he's proud of his wife's figure and nude selfies.
"I love her nude selfies. Like, I love the ones from the side, the back ones, and the front," he told Icons magazine's September issue.
"I just love seeing her naked; I love nudity. And I love beautiful shapes. I feel like it's almost a Renaissance thing, a painting, a modern version of a painting. I think it's important for Kim to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not singing."

Offering a glint of hope for treating a notorious killer, researchers found that a common chemotherapy drug can help pancreatic cancer patients who have undergone surgery stave off a return of the disease longer.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
In the German study, the group receiving Gemzar, or gemcitabine, lived on average of 13.4 months without their cancer coming back. A comparison group that did not receive the drug lived without disease for 6.9 months.
The 6½-month gain may look modest. And scientists said they have seen no difference so far in the overall survival rates between the two groups. But pancreatic cancer is such a rapid and efficient killer that the findings were still highly encouraging.
Pancreatic cancer has one of the worst chances of recovery of all types of cancer. Most patients are not diagnosed until the cancer has spread, and fewer than one in 10 patients are alive five years after diagnosis.
Only 20 percent of newly diagnosed patients are good candidates for surgery, the best hope for a cure. And even then, the disease returns in the vast majority of cases.
The new findings, when considered along with preliminary results from a large U.S. trial reported last year, suggest that chemotherapy after pancreatic cancer surgery should at least include gemcitabine.
The study appears in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.
"This study says to me that gemcitabine can keep the disease at bay for a period of time after surgery," said Dr. Sunil Hingorani of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. But it also "underscores the essential incurability of the disease," he said. "If you wait long enough, the beast comes back."
The findings apply only to those patients who can have surgery — just 6,000 to 6,500 patients a year in the United States. Those are the patients whose cancer was diagnosed before it spread beyond the pancreas.
Gemcitabine already is used to fight breast, lung and ovarian cancer. It is also used to treat inoperable pancreatic cancer. It costs about $2,800 a month and has relatively mild side effects such as fatigue and hair thinning.
Doctors disagree about the best treatment following surgery for pancreatic cancer. Some watch for the disease to recur before starting other therapies. Others recommend chemotherapy right away, or a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.
"Unfortunately, the majority of patients after surgery have their cancer come back," said Dr. Daniel Laheru of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who was not involved in the study but specializes in pancreatic cancer. "That's why this study is important."
Unlike other cancers, pancreatic cancer appears to spread almost as soon as it appears, possibly because the pancreas is not as self-contained as other organs. Pancreatic cancer cells are also usually tougher to kill in a petri dish than other types of cancer cells.
The German researchers followed 354 patients after surgery for an average of 4½ years. Some patients were chosen at random to get gemcitabine for about six months starting soon after surgery.
The researchers found that 74 percent of patients receiving gemcitabine saw their cancer come back, versus 92 percent of patients not getting the drug.
The patients were treated at 88 cancer centers in Germany and Austria.
Study co-author Dr. Hanno Riess of Charite School of Medicine in Berlin said the findings are changing practice in Europe, where most doctors previously had not used radiation or chemotherapy after pancreas surgery.
Worldwide, there are an estimated 232,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer annually. In the United States, it is the fourth leading cause of cancer death, claiming 32,300 lives last year.
The pancreas, located between the stomach and the spine, secretes enzymes that help digest food and hormones that maintain blood sugar levels.
Smoking and a family history of pancreatic cancer raise the risk of the disease. Eating more fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk.
Some of the study's authors reported financial ties to drug makers including Gemzar's manufacturer, Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Co. A grant from Lilly Deutschland supported the study, but the company had no say in its design or data interpretation, the researchers reported.

No one can deny how cool the parallax web designs seem to be, and how popular they are among people, I have been asked many questions as to whether these websites can be ranked high on the search engines, draw traffic via search engines, or increase conversion rate or not. People ask things like, since parallax are based on one page then you optimize content, and if you cannot optimize the content, how do you draw in visitors through search engines?
Even if the traffic comes on your website, the visitors interested in content getting half way down your website, but they get at the beginning of the whole experience. Are they not going to bounce of your website if your website is not what they expected?
Then again, when there are no pages on the site, how would your visitors achieve the desired goal?
Moreover, though you could—by some means— persuade your website visitors to perform certain action, without pagination, how are you going to track your visitor activity with Analytics?
For parallax or scrolling website, is there a specific time and place? Is it beneficial to follow this trend for many websites?
I think "NO", many readers will shout aloud in the favor of these websites, but in my views, the main objective of a website is to attract enough traffic and get the valuable leads converted into buyers. To put this short, "action" is what matters! A web development company in UAE can easily provide you parallax website, but make sure to ask your developer if he recommends it or not! If your parallax website can drive conversions, that is good, but if it cannot then what is the point of investing in such site?

Biofuels are toted as being a green fuel source, but a biofuel spill could potentially be far more devastating to the environment than a gasoline oil spill.
Jenny G
It is too late to address the negative impacts of global warming by reducing emissions alone; we need adaption strategies that address the negative impacts.
Flame retardants used in furniture and household products are supposed to protect people by reducing the risk of household fires, but they contain known carcinogens, hormone disruptors, and other chemicals deemed unsafe. High levels of exposure to these chemicals can do more harm than good.
Illegal wildlife trafficking and the illicit trade in wildlife products is big business with organized crime syndicates. This is not surprising since it is relatively low risk yet offers high rewards. According to a new report commissioned by the WWF, the illicit trade in wildlife generates more than US$ 19 billion every year and ranks as the fourth largest illegal global trade after drug trafficking, counterfeiting and human trafficking.
Lighting Africa aims to bring clean solar lighting to 250 million people in Africa by 2030, which will benefit these communities and the environment.
Passive solar design offers an affordable alternative to expensive active solar energy systems to use energy from the sun to heat and cool a building.
One organization's mission to ensure everyone on the planet has access to safe drinking water is changing lives in developing nations across the world.
Every year hundreds of thousands of albatrosses and petrels are killed by longline fishing boats. This can be prevented by simple mitigating measures.
Solar energy provides a simple, cheap, and accessible method of disinfecting water to reduce water related illness and deaths in developing countries.
As the world population steadily increases, and the demand for land, water, and natural resources becomes more and more intense, our wildlife is becoming threatened due to loss of habitat, over exploitation, and other human induced factors.

If you reside for style and crave the latest trends then becoming a beauty blogger could be your calling. Today im going to be registering a rediculous domain name that goes Perfect with a logo my designer already has made along with the primise of the website. Style is so visual, if you build your boards wisely on pinterest the army of frosting eaters will recirculate your imagery and do the rest of the work for you. It is probably that this figure is inflated by a substantial quantity of private blogs that mention fashion. You have discovered inspiration and are now ready to commence your fashion blog and let the globe know how passionate and knowledgeable you are about fashion and beauty.
But here are a handful of issues you need to have to contemplate about making a weblog profitable, great and totally fabulous. The blazer will maintain warm and stylish for at least a handful of seasons, the style magazine lasts for about one particular read in the bath and then it is outdated. Nevertheless, any cost-free blog web site that lets you customize it – far more or much less – like WordPress, Blogger, and even Facebook Pages are great, as well.
So if you want a creative, up to the minute blog, with both a great and dark side, then this is the weblog for you. Here's a complete guide on how to commence a WordPress blog with BlueHost that requires you by means of every step in 5 minutes max! Fashion and personal style blogger Patricia Batatas combines running a well-liked fashion blog, Peexo, with studying for her university degree.
A digital fashion pioneer, Liberty London Girl blogger Sasha Wilkins was named Ideal Style Twitter Feed in Marie Claire 2012 On-line Awards and Blogger of the Year at Red Magazine's Ladies of the Year Awards in 2011. Bloggers could advertise their review services on micro-job web sites, like The difficulty with employing this approach is that you have extremely little control more than good quality. Why even The Sartorialist himself has fallen for this fashion darling – Scott and Garance are now dating, très adorable! It could be mentioned that style blogging is now building from an intriguing hobby, to a viable new media enterprise.
The truth is, you want to make certain you are developing your blog according to how you want your brand to be displayed to your audience as properly as how you want to display your content, video and written. You need to have to take risks with your content (sort of like I am now writing a post about fashion blogging for tens of thousands of readers!). She is French so most of her earlier blogs I could not read but just enjoyed the photos she would post.

Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) is
Mrs Cullimore.
Whitton Community Primary School values the abilities and achievements of all of its pupils and is committed to providing each pupil the best possible environment for learning.
One Page Profiles
Each child on the special educational needs or disability (SEND) register will have a 'One Page Profile', written by the child in collaboration with parents/carers and school staff. It helps us ensure that all adults working with the child is aware of the important information about them and how best to support them. We'll send each child's one page profile home from time to time for parents or carers to add/ change/ update bits.
SEN Support Plans
Most of our children on the SEND register will also have an SEN Support Plan which details SMART (specifc, measureable, achievable, realistic and time based) targets that the child is working towards each term. The 'strategies/ resources' section will explain the extra provision the child is receiving to support them. Parents/ carers please look out for the 'What parents/carers can do to help at home' section. This will give you specific activities to try at home with your child to help them to achieve their target. Your child's teacher will often send home resources to support with the activities (as well as sending you a copy of the support plan to keep at home).
Provision Mapping:
In addition, Mrs Cullimore monitors and tracks every child on the SEND register and the impact their interventions are having by using provision maps. These simply identify the child's SEND need, what intervention they are having, how often, for how long and with who. These provision maps also track the child's progress detailing their start and end data so that the impact of the intervention can be measured and contribute towards the review process for that intervention and child. Ultimately we want to ensure the intervention is having a good impact on learning and is helping the child to progress and achieve their targets. If for whatever reason the intervention is not having a good enough impact then we will stop it and change it for something different that hopefully will.
Additional Information:
Please also read our school SEND Information Report and our SEND policy (both below) for further information about how we support our children at Whitton with their SEND.
For parents/ carers please remember that the first port of call for any concerns is your child's class teacher. However, Mrs Cullimore is also available to discuss matters or meet with you. Please talk to your child's class teacher about this, call the school on 01473 741225 or book a meeting via the school office. Additionally you can also submit a comment using our website – click on 'About us' and then 'Contact details' and scroll down to the contact form.
An overview of our school's SEND provision
We are an inclusive school and may offer a range of the following provision as set out below to support our children with communication and interaction, cognition and learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health, sensory and/or physical needs or medical conditions. The range of support deployed will be tailored to individual need following assessment by internal or external agencies and discussions with staff, children and parents or carers.

How to Cancel a Print Job in Word 2013
The fastest, easiest way to cancel a print job in Word 2013 is to rush up to the printer and touch the Cancel button. Sometimes, the button has a red X icon on it. Touch that button, and the printer will stop — maybe not at once, but the button cancels the document from printing.
A more awkward way to cancel a print job is to use Windows. This method involves quite a few steps, and it's not always successful. That's because most documents are small and zip off to the printer before you have time to stop them. But if you want to try, obey these steps:
1Double-click the li'l printer icon by the current time on the taskbar.
If you don't see the li'l printer icon, it's too late to cancel the print job by using this technique. Otherwise, you see the printer's window, which lists any queued printing jobs.
2Click the name of your Word document job on the list.
Highlight the job you wish to cancel.
3From the window's menu, choose either the Document→Cancel command or the Document→Cancel Printing command.
Either option will work.
5Close the printer's window when you're done.
It may take a while for the printer to stop printing. That's because the printer has its own memory, and a few pages of the document may be stored there and continue to print even after you tell the printer to stop. (Stupid printer — stupid.)
Stopping a print job is a Windows task, not one that Word has control over.
If you're using a network printer, you may not be able to cancel printing. Oh, well.

Due to the difference in computer colors, the actual color shall prevail. 2. In addition to the original wood color, the other colors are colored and the natural texture of the wood cannot be evenly colored. If you are concerned, please carefully consider before ordering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA3JFxZv2QE [brand story] From the winter of 2001, the designer Anna Paco made the process of creating a Christmas tree by herself: "At the time, I used different thickness columns as trunks and branches, and glued the leaves one by one. This method was time-consuming and environmentally unfriendly. , so I suddenly thought, why not design a tool without tools, as long as the combination of each component in a structured way, you can assemble a 3D three-dimensional shape of the Christmas tree?". So LOVE was born in this season full of blessings, which inspired the designer to use the postcards as a thoughtful way of packaging, so that at the same time as giving gifts, it can also express the deepest in mind. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1626/24495741353_186c285f60_b.jpg "Since 2009, LOGILOVI has given back every year and supported the development of 5,000 trees in developing countries." The tree is one of the most beautiful and natural products that are most beneficial to human beings. It not only reduces the amount of carbon in the air, but also releases the oxygen that humans must have. It also delays global warming. The birchwood used by LOVI Leyi adheres to 100% use of certified forests from Finland and PEFC (PEFC: World Forest Verification and Accreditation Program Committee, aiming to promote the sustainable management of forests). We hope that this plan can be extended to all corners of the world where there are forests, so that part of the operating profits will be set aside each year to help developing countries rebuild their forests. Since 2009, we have planted 35,000 trees and have planted about 5,000 trees each year. This plan, like our brand spirit, will continue forever. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1506/24757879749_52231c3d9a_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1707/24826951410_ecaf4be4c2_o.jpg Origin / manufacturing methods Made In Finland
