You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'cooking' category.
In 2020 I want to figure out how to
- Use my Instant Pot that everyone swears will change my life but I've thus far been scared to operate
- Not take it personally when my kids are in terrible moods
- Cultivate a daily meditation practice
- Read tarot
- Handle it when people serving our family in stores or restaurants refer to my daughter as "he" because she has short hair
- Make any money from my crazy art
- Get rid of a TON of the stuff in my house
- Get my children to ride their bicycles
- Eat out less while magically discovering what foods everyone in my family will eat without me having to cook everything
- Say no
You know how much I love to shower. My showers are quick and I prefer them cool–especially in the summer, I shower early and often. Growing up, I usually showered every day, but when I moved into my un-air conditioned dorm my freshman year in steamy August Williamsburg, I made multiple showers a day my way of life.
Twenty-seven summers later, even when I had to walk across a woodsy clearing, wearing my Adidas slides to protect my feet from sticks and rocks, and carry my soap and shampoo and towel and clothes with me, each of my three showers a day at family camp was bliss.
Of course, family camp was much more than a chance to bathe with bugs, but when it was 97 degrees every day and we were kayaking, climbing, dancing by the lake and simply walking across camp from one activity to another, I earned those showers. Not to mention that sometimes I was carrying my 50-pound child on my back when he alleged that he was too tired to move.
(For those of you who know me and have made fun of my affinity for showers for years, please note that I did not shower first thing in the morning any of the days we were at family camp. I brushed my teeth and put my clothes on and went to breakfast without showering, like a good camper. I only showered after I did something that got me really sweaty. Which, of course, is almost anything.)
Driving home yesterday some of those muscles I didn't know I had were sore, but in the best possible way. Most of our stinky clothes are now clean again and most of our gear is unpacked, and we are already talking about what we will do next year when we go back.
This summer was Zoe's fifth at Camp Friendship, but our first at Camp Friendship's family camp, held for a week at the end of the summer when regular camp sessions are over. Family camp includes a lot of the same activities that the kids do during the summer, but with fewer counselors and rules and more flexibility.
Zoe loves Camp Friendship fiercely. She counts down the days until she can go each summer and it takes a while when she comes home for her to come out of her post-camp funk. She has made deep connections each year with campers and counselors and she has challenged herself to try new things every year and push herself . This summer during her second week at camp, she was named Camper of the Week in the Junior Girls Village, voted unanimously by the Junior Girls supervisor and all the counselors because of her enthusiasm and willingness to help out and because she was a friend to everyone. Zoe was modest about it when she told us, but when I talked with Kerry, the Junior Girls supervisor, she said Camper of the Week is a big deal. I was very proud.
My only sleepaway camp experience growing up was two weeks at the Young Writers' Workshop held at the University of Virginia. While this was a phenomenal and formative experience for me, I stayed in a dorm and took writing classes, so I never experienced the typical sleepaway camp activities. For the past five years I've been both impressed and daunted by Zoe's descriptions of her summer adventures at Camp Friendship.
This year I decided Zeke was old enough that we could go to family camp without him needing to stick by my side all the time, so we signed up for a half-week of camp. After watching the videos that Zoe showed us multiple times, Randy observed that family camp seemed like "an introvert's nightmare" and opted to stay home. Now that we've been, I feel confident that he would enjoy most of the activities and he could easily sneak off for some quiet time when we're singing cheesy songs or having a dance party. Anyway it was just the kids and me this time around.
Here's what I LOVED about family camp:
- Being away from my phone and computer and all other screens for three days. Devices aren't prohibited at camp but I decided our family did not need to use any. I used my phone only for the alarm clock so we wouldn't miss breakfast, and to take occasional photos, but I had it on airplane mode (plus I don't have any service in Palmyra, Virginia) the whole time and it was absolutely wonderful. I didn't have to check anything for myself or my children or respond to anyone's requests or even feel the constant buzzing in my pocket. I loved that we could just make a plan and write something down on paper and I didn't have to text anyone to see where they were or tell them where I was or ANYTHING ELSE. And I didn't have to bug Zoe to get off her phone. No one was asking for screen time. It was lovely.
- Not having to drive anywhere or even carry my keys. The only time we were in a motorized vehicle was when one of the staff members drove a van full of us back to camp after we enjoyed tubing a couple miles down the Rivanna River. We walked everywhere. As I mentioned earlier, there was a heat wave and we were hot and sweaty, but it was such a relief not to have to drive and great exercise. And I wasn't even counting steps.
- We were archers! Zeke and I used a bow and arrow for the first time (Zoe has done archery every year for five years) and I discovered that it's really fun and not as hard as I expected. I managed to hit the target most of the time. I don't think Zeke did, but he made a valiant effort. I am eager to find someplace close to home where we can practice.
- We kayaked! Randy is a big kayaker and Zoe has kayaked a lot at camp, but I had only been in a kayak once or twice and was intimidated by it. Zeke had never done it at all. We started out in a kayak together but I quickly remembered that two people in a kayak is way harder than one, so I kicked Zeke out and made him get his own kayak. And he did it! And I did it! We paddled around the lake, forward and backward, under a little bridge, through a fountain, and we didn't fall out!
- These are not in order of importance, because one of my absolute favorite things about family camp was that my kids could go wherever they wanted without me and I did not have to worry about them at all. Of course I knew Zoe would be fine on her own since she knows the camp much better than I do, but I wasn't sure how it would go with Zeke. But he figured things out quickly and easily and I was delighted and relieved. He walked the 100 feet to the bathrooms by himself, even in the dark. He got food and drink for himself in the dining hall. He floated along in his tube down the river. On the night when everyone gathered at the beach by the lake, he explored on his own and built sand castles with some other kids and a counselor while Zoe and I were playing cards and dancing. When we were at friendship bracelet making, Zeke got frustrated and decided to go down to the pottery class instead, where he made a penguin and a Camp Friendship sign. One morning Zeke did kids camp–going on a scavenger hunt across the entire camp, culminating in a swim at the pool–while Zoe and I did other activities. On the night when we were at the lawn party, we played cornhole and volleyball and lawn bowling, and then he decided he wanted to play night tennis. He has been wanting to learn tennis lately, so he told me he was going to the tennis courts, and he left. He met up with us later for ice cream. He also had a lesson with a tennis pro another day we were there. It was wonderful to be in a place where I knew the kids would be safe, there were a million friendly counselors and staff people around in case they needed anything, and whatever they were doing would be something good.
- I did not have to cook or buy or order any food for myself or my children or anyone else. They served us three delicious hot meals a day, with plenty of healthy options. They had an ice machine where I filled up my water bottle a million times a day. They had endless lemonade. And they had 24-hour bagels, bread, cereal, and fruit available in case you needed a midnight snack. We only availed ourselves of this the last night we were there, after the dance party. We discovered some teenagers in the dining hall playing Cards Against Humanity and a cluster of kitchen staff watching Netflix on someone's laptop. For many people, especially parents, or maybe just me but I think it's many people, figuring out what to feed yourself and your family is a lot of work. It was such a relief to not have to worry about this at all for nine entire mealtimes.
- I met counselors and staff from England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, and South Africa. There were also American staff, but because many colleges in the US start in mid- to late-August, a lot of the American counselors have to leave before family camp. The international staff often have more flexibility. Everyone who works at the camp was incredibly friendly and kind. Almost every single person knew and loved Zoe. She was like a celebrity there and I was part of her entourage. By the time we left, a lot of them knew Zeke too. This job is an intense one, where you're on duty nearly 24/7, so it requires a certain kind of commitment that's different from scooping ice cream or mowing lawns. I talked with several staff members who work there year round, never having expected to make a career out of camp. Some of the counselors are in college or taking a gap year or just graduated, and some of them work in other fields, and some are trying to figure out what to do next, but in the meantime they are having a fabulous time at camp and those kids adore them.
- Zeke went fishing. I did not have to participate. Zoe played cards with Kerry while Zeke fished. Zeke did not catch anything but he had fun. And I didn't have to participate. Did I mention that?
- I kinda learned how to make friendship bracelets. This is an extremely popular pastime at Camp Friendship. Every camper and counselor wears several on each wrist. I've seen Zoe doing it for years and it always seemed very mysterious. I have yet to complete a perfect bracelet, but I've made a couple for Zeke, who is quite forgiving, and I've started a couple more. This may not be a skill I will put on my resume, but it's kind of cool and can be meditative to sit and play with string.
- My kids and I had fun together at camp. We were outside most of the time doing all kinds of cool activities. I didn't have to pitch a tent or cook over a fire (although we did make s'mores, the supplies were provided for us–we just had to find sticks). We made tie-dyed shirts. Zoe and I tried to climb an insanely difficult high ropes obstacle. Zoe and Zeke zip lined across the woods. I didn't have to worry about anything. It was hot and sweaty and exhausting. We had a great time. And I took plenty of cold showers.
People can do anything. So why haven't these things been invented? One would be immensely practical. The other more personally appealing to preserve my mental health.
Electronic Refrigerator Inventory System
There should be an interactive digital display on your fridge door that you can use to see what's in your fridge and how long it's been there and when it expires. You could scan all the items as you put them into the fridge, and the device would already be programmed with information about, say, how long strawberries stay fresh. You could also manually enter expiration dates, like on your milk. The device would remember everything you put in, so when you first get it you might have a lot of data entry to do, but after that it would easily recognize what you're buying. Then when you are wondering what you can have for dinner, all you have to do is look at your display and see that there's leftover Thai from two nights ago and enough vegetables to make a salad. When you're getting ready to go to the grocery store, you could print out–or upload to your phone–a list of what you need, based on what you usually need and is missing from or low in the fridge. For bonus points, the device could interact with a cooking app and suggest recipes based on the ingredients you have on hand. Or tell you that you have five ingredients you need for tacos, except the meat, so you should pick some up. Cleaning the fridge would be easy because you'd know exactly how long things had been in there even before the mold starts to grow! There is so much potential here.
NPR (or other news outlet) Warning Lights
Sometimes when you're in the car with your kids and you turn on NPR and the first words you hear are "mass shootings" or "bodies of children" or "murder" and you have to switch the station very, very fast. Or even if your kids aren't in the car but it's 7:30 in the morning and you can't stomach a report about terrorist attacks, children being sold into slavery, or anyone being shot, and you have to put on the soundtrack to If/Then, which can be kind of wrenching as well but at least you know what's coming and it's fictional. Anyway, there should be a little warning light indicator on your radio so you can turn it on with no volume and if there's a horrifying story including any of the above words or others I could list but won't because they will make me depressed, a red light would illuminate. If the story may be mildly disturbing but not heart-wrenching, such as unemployment numbers, Congressional ineptitude, or negligent landlords, the light is yellow. And, if you're really lucky, the light will be green when they're interviewing singers, athletes, or writers; sharing the triumphant story of someone's success; or reporting on a breakthrough in medical technology. Not to say that you can never listen to bad news, but sometimes it's just too much. This would save millions of listeners from potential anguish as they drive.
If you can invent these things, let me know. I'd be happy to brainstorm with you and get in on the ground floor.
What is the difference between a short order cook and a chef? What does a chef have to know to be a chef? Why are so many chefs men when traditionally women do the cooking at home? How do cooks do everything so fast without injuring themselves? Or are they covered with burns? How do cooks feel about making food they don't like? How do they know if it's good if it's something they wouldn't eat themselves? How do cooks move up in the world of restaurants?

Wouldn't it have been nice to own Plug Power Inc., up nearly 130% so far this year, or Ballard Power Systems Inc., up 287% in the past year and about 60% so far in 2014?
Of course it would have. We received a lot of questions this week from customers about high-momentum stocks such as these. Every investor, it seems, wants in on some of the action.
We are not necessarily recommending the two stocks mentioned above, but we are strong believers in the power of momentum. You need to be careful, though. Sometimes momentum makes sense, and sometimes it sets you up for a disaster.
Regardless, keep in mind momentum works both ways: You can profit handsomely very quickly, or get your portfolio destroyed just as fast.
Let's take a look at five important things to consider if you wish to get involved with momentum stocks.
1. Earnings acceleration
It is important to look beyond just the stock price of a momentum play. You want to see an underlying acceleration in earnings growth. A company that does better than expected, such as Badger Daylighting Ltd., which is up about 175% in the past year, attracts a lot of attention. Why are earnings so strong? What are they doing right? Figure it out before investing.
2. Analyst revisions
As a company reports stronger earnings, analysts, of course, fall over themselves to extrapolate faster growth and revise their target prices upwards on companies. These analysts start pounding the table on recommendations, causing more investors (institutional) to take an interest in the company and start buying.
Bloomberg has a great function key on analysts' revisions, showing the degree of earnings estimate changes. It can be an important factor in trying to determine which stocks might catch momentum.
3. Market cap changes
As a company's stock price moves up, its market cap changes right along with it. As a company transitions to new levels of capitalization, more investors become interested. More institutions can buy a $500-million company, than can buy a $100-million company. Thus, at certain levels, there is additional stock buying only because a company is larger.
As a momentum investor, this upward move is great, and results in a better valuation of the same company. For example, Chemtrade Logistics this week raised $300-million in a bought deal, raising its market cap above the key $1-billion level. Its stock, incidentally, had a big move when the financing was announced.
4. Technical and volume indicators
We will leave this largely to the chartists, but there are often significant technical moves that indicate a momentum breakout is real.
There are too many signals to list, but we look most closely at volume. When a stock with momentum shows increasing and consistent volume, the move is less likely to be a head fake. Large daily volume increases accompanied by a new high on a stock is a very strong signal.
5. Shifting valuations overall
More upside momentum is obviously generated by a rising stock market and investor confidence. If overall valuations are increasing, it makes sense for stocks that have strong earnings growth and upward analyst revisions to go up at a faster rate. If investors like everything, they should like the leaders more.
Right now — with the economy improving and the market doing very well — is an ideal time to try to pick away at some momentum stocks.
Once you are in, though, the key is getting out.
Momentum strategists advise you not to do anything until something changes to the negative. It is important to ride the positive curve as long as possible.
On the first negative earnings surprise or analyst downgrade, it's time to get out. You may take a hit on the bad news, but if you have ridden the momentum well, you should still be well above your purchase price.

Within the demonstration area of Santa
Rosa, The Golondrinas Foundation relies on the installation
and operation of a hydroelectric turbine from the flow of the
Golondrinas River. This project was developed eight years ago
owing to an earlier study conducted by engineer Ralph Pecenka
in 1997. International organizations such as the ASA Program,
Tierra Unida of Germany, Engineers Without Borders, Energy Electricity
of Belgium, TERPESAC of Peru, and FEDETA of Ecuador provided
technical assistance. Thanks to the logistical efforts of volunteers,
local people and Golondrinas Foundation staff, the turbine was
put into place. Later on, the necessary installations were done
and we tested its capacity to generate electricity with a successful
With the hydraulic turbine at Santa Rosa we have demonstrated
how you can make good use of your natural resources such as is
the case with this alternative energy, which also helps improve
the standard of living for the local people. The operation of
the turbine serves as a model for many organizations and people
who are working for environmental conservation. Our promise is
to make our knowledge and experience available to all interested
parties, such as organizations and individuals who are searching
to advance the existing socioeconomic situation by making the
most of their natural resources.
Agroforestry is a method of agriculture in which certain species
of trees, grasses and bushes are planted next to traditional crops
from the area. When the trees, grasses, bushes and crops are planted
in an organized way, multiple benefits result: wind barriers,
erosion barriers, nitrogen fixers in the soil, firewood, and habitats
for varying animal species.
Guallupe, located in the Lower Rio Mira Valley, is a village
where the foundation has established the application of agroforestry
on the slopes and hillsides that need protection from the inappropriate
plantings that have contributed to the serious impoverishment
of the surface layers of soil.
This demonstration farm was established
in 1998. It was named Peña Negra [Black Crag] because it is
located at 850 meters altitude, ten minutes from the parish
of La Carolina (Guallupe Sector) on
the Ibarra-San Lorenzo highway. This farm applies the techniques
related to agroforestry and the philosophy of permaculture in
combination with traditional crops of the area such as fruit trees,
timber-yielding trees and others of multiple uses such as leguminous
trees and other nitrogen fixers that are short, medium and long
Currently, around 55 different species exist on our farm, a majority
of which are native to the area and others which are introduced
species but have adapted favorably to the environment. The farm
also has its own nursery where it reproduces and grafts plants.
Peña Negra includes approximately three cultivated hectares with
substantially positive results. Being certain of our successful
outcomes allows us to feel confident in sharing our knowledge
and experience with other farmers. This model farm was created
by Fabián Manteca, agroforestry and permaculture design specialist.
He has been working with The Golondrinas Foundation from the very
beginning and applying these techniques.
The knowledge that Fabián Manteca has acquired
not only in agroforestry and permaculture, but at the Center
for Tropical Forest Research
in Cali, Colombia [CIAT], through a course with RAFE, the Ecuadorian
Agroforest Network, and through a GAIA permaculture course in
Argentina, has motivated him to establish this farm. As of October,
1998 we also rely on technical advice from Edilton Folleco, a
soil management and horticulture specialist.
Mr. Manteca trains local farmers and young
adults who participate actively in the demonstration farm Peña Negra. In establishing
this model farm, Fabián Manteca has received support and collaboration
from The Golondrinas Foundation as well as volunteers and friends
from different parts of the world.
The Foundation has proposed to conduct
thorough training programs that will be practical and interactive.
They will start at a basic
level, teaching the advantages of planting horizontally following
contour lines instead of planting vertically. Afterwards, we will
move to the practical level and view all the techniques employed
at Peña Negra and Santa Rosa such as the use of Vetiver
grass, the combination of different types of crops and the
use of secondary forest as a sustainable resource.
The Golondrinas Foundation has also completed silvipastoral trainings
during the last three years in the Lower Rio Mira Valley where
a large percentage of the country's agriculture exists. This is
why the foundation makes its silvipastoral trainings and experts'
advice available to farmers on both a national and international
Currently, the farm contains a large variety of species in production
which also serve as training aids in courses with the local farmers.
Here, we demonstrate the best way to use the soil and the appropriate
techniques for better crop yields.
Within the farm you will find terrace formations and contour
lines using Vetiver (vetiveria
zizanioides) which is a grass originating from India that
helps counteract erosion. One of its major benefits is soil retention,
or rather, erosion control.
The Golondrinas Foundation has been experimenting with the best
techniques and soil uses for the last six years. Through this
research we have discovered the existence of Vetiver
grass. We searched for information through The Vetiver Network
who informed us about CIAT, The International Center on Tropical
Agriculture in Cali. They donated the first young plants to us.
We trained and observed the beneficial practice of this grass
in the formation of terraces and the retention of soil.
Later on, CIAT showed us places in Ecuador where we could get
this grass and told us about DFC, Farmer Forest Development. They
also mentioned the Margarita Hacienda, property of the Ministry
of Agriculture on the coast. This is how after some investigation,
The Golondrinas Foundation obtained the information and introduced
Vetiver to the Lower Rio Mira Valley, as a way to help eroded
soils in the area.
We understand Vetiver to have multiple uses such as: water retention,
wall retention, soil improvement and in the perfume industry,
among other things. However, we still have not made use of these
qualities since we are located in an area with steep slopes and
our biggest problem is erosion. Another reason is that this is
an agricultural zone in which there still isn't the acceptance
and conviction that this grass can help re-establish soil with
the formation of terraces. Our greatest concern is to train farmers
to improve their crop yield so that they can raise the standard
of living for their family and future generations.
We are promoting and distributing Vetiver to farmers and organizations
so they can use in the required locations and to give technical
advice to show the benefits this grass can offer. This plant is
simple to maintain and adapts easily whenever it is planted at
the right altitude.
Santa Rosa is located in the Carchi province in the parish El
Goatal inside the Cerro Golondrinas Protected Forest Reserve.
Here we have a nursery where seeds of trees in extinction as well
as of naranjillas are reproduced. There are also areas of secondary
forest which provide a forest grove- ideal for the naranjilla
For the moment, this fruit has been accepted and we hope that
it will provide an alternative or favorable income for the people
in the communities that earn their living cutting down trees.
Another reason for its acceptance is that many farmers are dedicated
to the cultivation of hybrid naranjilla, the one that is abundantly
produced with the use of chemicals and requires a lot of light.
The naranjilla plant used for juice is planted under secondary
forest, thus avoiding the use of chemicals and the total destruction
of the forest.
We follow up after each training session until the desired result
is achieved to share knowledge with local farmers.
It is important to point out that all the tests and alternatives
we employ utilize methods of biological control and organic compost.
In terms of education, we work with various local schools, some
with only one teacher and others with many, where learning happens
with scarce academic and inspirational resources. These schools
have managed to cover their educational needs with few incentives
for creativity and motivation.
Since 1995, The Golondrinas Foundation has been implementing
environmental education classes mostly directed to local children
because they are the ones will be working the land in the future.
They will need to have a better understanding of the use of resources
through agroforestry techniques to prevent teenage migration to
the cities. We hope that offering them work alternatives in this
way will satisfy their needs while at the same time maintain their
culture and traditions.
In 1995, this program began with 15 children between the ages
of 8 and 12 participating on weekends. We have searched for spaces
where we can facilitate creativity and contact with ecology as
an alternative subject that allows them to value their surrounding
and the richness of nature, as a form of environmental education.
In 1997, we realized a series of activities such as the following.
Currently, we take trips to the demonstrations
sites that The Golondrinas Foundation manages. We work with
five community schools
during the school year. These classes are dynamic, interactive,
based on talks, videos and practical classes open to the creativity
of the children thereby improving their self-esteem. Some of the
activities they do include celebrating Arbor Day and field trips
to sites where environmental conservation is practiced such as
at Peña Negra and the Cerro Golondrinas Protected Forest Reserve.
In the future, we will also conduct nutrition classes for women.
These classes will demonstrate the wide variety of fruits and
vegetables which, in the right combination, can provide a complete
diet rich in vitamins.
The Golondrinas Foundation is convinced that education is the
answer that will provide future generations with a higher standard
of living and a significant increase in self-worth. The organization
has focused its efforts especially on children since they tend
to be more open to learning and are the future of this region
and the world.
As part of the environmental education program, murals have been
painted on the schools. We've observed how stimulating it is to
see respect for nature expressed in a painting, with direct messages
stating its importance. Using this means of expression has been
an excellent educational tool.
The following is a description of some of the projects we plan
to accomplish:
The realization of these projects is possible thanks to the support
of organizations, friends, and volunteers, who have contributed
their time and special talents to our project. We hope to have
the same luck in the future so that we can continue to fulfill
the goals of The Golondrinas Foundation.
If you wish to contribute and support The Golondrinas Foundation's
current activities or would like to obtain more information about
future projects please do not hesitate to firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Spring Term:
W/C 9th March
This week the children started making the animal homes. First, with their partner, they chose which animal they wanted to make a home for and then simple research was carried out to find out about the shape and size of the home. Working with a partner was fun. There was lots of chatting, sharing and compromising.
On Wednesday the children went on a colour hunt, looking for lots of different greens. They match leaves and grass to colour swatches. Everyone used their observation skills while being curious learners.
The skip-a-thon was great fun and a great way to stay healthy. All the children joined in and had lots of fun.
W/C 2nd March
Another busy week with the children investigating ways to make different purples and then using this knowledge to paint our own pictures using painting by a variety of artists such as Paul Klee and Georgia O'Keeffe to support our own creative learning.
We have started a new learning experience; making home for an animal that keeps it warm and dry. So we have been investigating which materials are waterproof. We made predictions and then decided which material we will use.
During world book day the children dressed up as a word. They were very imaginative with words such as crazy, magical, sparkly, bright and noisy. We read the book 'Ketchup on your cornflakes' by Nick Sharratt and then made our own versions. The children enjoyed making them really silly e.g. Oscar wrote 'Do you like Cheerios on your pencil?'
W/C 24th February
Last week the class used their data handling skills to vote for school councillors. This week Lucas and Niamh confidently told the rest of the school what we had been learning. They were amazing!
The children returned to school with a great attitude, taking responsibility for their own learning. They used information processing skills to answer questions about the animals such as 'What do they eat?' During Wellie Wednesday we search for numerals and representations of numerals e.g. 10 and 1 which is 11.
W/C 3rd February
We have been thinking about which foods we eat and whether they are healthy. We then we all tried some different fruits [lychee, mango, pomegranate and melon]. Can you guess whether we liked them?
During our Inspire this week, we showed the grown ups just how much our drawing skills have improved. It was great fun and we think the grown ups worked as hard as the children.
W/C 27th January
This week we have been very busy finishing our first learning experience for our theme 'All creatures great and small'. The children have labelled their final drawings. They look amazing.
Oscar's duck Indie's hedgehog Jude's hedgehog Eleanor's duck
We then used a variety of art materials to make an image of the animals again.
Amelia's kestrel Noah's hare Niamh's squirrel Freddie's squirrel
W/C 20th January
We have looked closely at the animals this week and named their body parts. Next we labelled them by writing a body part on a Post-it and stuck this to the box. It was great fun and the children wrote lots of labels.
We have been learning how to use a ruler so that next week we can label our own drawings, which are looking amazing. The children have become real experts in their animal.
This week our Mystery Reader was Mrs Marshall, who is the Early Years governor for Puriton. She read a Percy the Park Keeper story by Nick Butterworth. The children were amazing with their listening skills.
W/C 13th January
We have been learning number bonds to 5 this week. We now remember that 0 and 5/ 1 and 4/ 2 and 3/ 3 and 2 / 4 and 1/ 5 and 0 all make 5. We have been using these facts to help solve number problems.
We looked at non-fiction books to find out how they are different from fiction books. We noticed these books had photographs instead of drawings, labels and give us information. We spotted lots of labels which is fantastic because we will be writing our own next week.
Mrs Baker was our Mystery Reader this week. She was very impressed with how carefully the children listened. Well done Opal class.
We had our first Parent and children reading session this week. It was lovely to see so many readers in the classroom and we are looking forward to another packed session next week.
W/C 6th January
Welcome back Opal class and Happy New Year.
This week we have started our new theme all about animals with a lesson on improving our speaking and listening by considering 'What if there is a creature in this box.' The children used their imagination to describe what it would look like, how it would feel and what they could here. We had hedgehogs, rabbits, cats and even dinosaurs.
The children were curious learners, spending time looking at some taxidermy animals and birds. They drew pictures or wrote the name of the ones they liked the best.
We have been learning about repeating patterns this week and the children have been challenged to make ABABAB , ABCABC and ABBABB type patterns with a variety of equipment and materials. It has been great fun.
Autumn Term:
W/C 2nd December
This week we have used what we know about fixing materials in a variety of ways, to make our own toys. First we looked at a variety of toys and decided how they moved. Next we designed and then made our own toys. We will be showing the creations during our celebration of learning.
This week our 'Mystery Reader' was Ms Williams who thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The children listened carefully to Aliens love underpants, finding the pictures funny. Who will be our next mystery reader?
This week we have worked hard to learn all the songs in our performance of 'A Midwife Crisis'.
W/C 25th November
This week the children have been talking about their baby toys. They have spoken clearly and confidently about different aspects of their toy. At the end of the talk, the rest of the class had opportunities to ask questions, using question words; who, what, where and how.
Next week we will be making our own toys with moving parts. So this week we have investigated how to fix materials so that they still move. We used hole punches, split pins, treasury tags, pipe cleaners and paper clips.
So far we have had 2 mystery readers; Mrs Cox and Mrs Roberts. The children have been very excited about our readers and each time have enjoyed finding out who it is and listening to the stories. The class are hoping Mick Inkpen and Catherine Rayner will make an appearance.
Who will it be our mystery reader next week?
W/C 18th November
We have started to find out about materials, naming them (plastic, wood, metal, fabric, cardboard and glass), and looking for them in the classroom and out in the school grounds. Sometimes it is easy but sometimes it can be tricky.
We have sorted toys into those babies like to play with and those children in Opal class like to play with. We thought about why we don't let babies play with some types of toys and then discussed staying safe.
We joined year 5 to use the new playground markings. It was great fun and the year 5s were fantastic demonstrators and facilitators of learning. It was great fun, but we were puffed out at the end.
W/C 11th November
On Monday Opal class joined Ruby class to learn about Armistice Day. They then made their own poppies and painted poppy pictures. They showed compassion towards others.
As maths has been a focus for the week, children in Opal class used a book called 10 blacks dots by Donald Crews to inspire their own counting pictures using black dots. The children were very imaginative.
W/C 4th November
Opal class worked with Ruby class on an enterprise project this week. In small groups, we decorated posters and talked about what we needed to do. We then made chocolate biscuits in the shape of teddy bears which were sold at the end of the day. Lots of money was made for the OLC school in Kenya.
Sharon, from the museum bought lots of old toys for us to look at and play with on Thursday. We were very curious learners; asking questions; making comparisons; using our senses; and being very interested in what they were made of. Some children decided to get dressed up. They also made a thaumatrope.
W/C: 21st October
Children have been showing there phonic knowledge this week by ordering food from the phoneme cafe. They could have a sandwich, toast, pear, apple, noodles, naan bread or a tomato. It was a very tasty way to learn.
We made our own tickets for our circus, practised our performances and then gave our show to Ruby class.
Here are some of our tickets. Top to bottom- Isla Haydn Noah
Jude collected the tickets and gave each member of the audience a pot of popcorn. We had to work out how many pots we needed and then count them out carefully.
Roll up, Roll up! Come to the circus.
The performance went well and Ruby class really enjoyed themselves. Well done Opal class. You have learnt lots in this topic.
W/C: 14th October
This week we heard the story 'Ernest' by Catherine Rayner about a Moose who could not fit on a page in the book. Pairs of children were challenged to make a page large enough for the teddy. They were able to use small pieces of paper and masking tape. They had to use their communication skills to share the task and achieve together. It was great fun.
We were curious learners on Wednesday, using our sense of smell to make a smelly potion for 'Smelly Louie'. We used sticks we found to mix our potions of leaves, flowers, sticks and mud. We thought Louie would like our potions and it was great fun learning with a friend. We had to share and talk to our friend.
We bought a special item into school to help us realise how we are all special and different from our friends. Lucas bought in a book about bugs that he really likes. It is special to him.
We have started to plan our circus for Ruby class next week. We have decided what performer we are going to be and made posters to advertise our show. The children looked at real circus posters and decided what they needed to put on theirs to make them good. I think they have worked very hard. Here is Elias' Penny's Bobbie's
W/C: 7th October
This week went to their first singing assembly and learnt the song 'Wake up!' I was really impressed with how they joined in with the words and actions.
We have been learning to write different phonemes in a variety of ways, including using a paintbrush in ketchup. Very smelly and fun.
We took part in the school cross country run. The children ran and walked round the field for twenty minutes. They definitely needed their water bottles after all that exercise.
W/C: 30th September
This week we have been turning ourselves into clowns as our first Learning Experience. We turned on the i-pads, took good quality photographs of our friend, making sure it was not blurry and then used our own photograph in an app called Doodle Buddy. We added funny noses, hats and clown clothes to make ourselves look very funny.
As part of our learning using the Key Skill of communication, we have been taking part in a 'check in', saying hello to the children who are next to us and then telling everyone what makes us happy using the sentence starter "I am happy when..."
Bobbie said "I am happy when I play on the play station with my Daddy."
Megan said "I am happy when I give my mum a huggle."
Jackson said "I am happy when my mum tucks me in at night."
This week we listened to the story "Augustus and his smile" by Catherine Rayner. We listened out for the word 'pranced', and when we found it we stood up and pranced around the classroom. During Wellie Wednesday we made our own paint, investigating what would be a suitable material. Mud turned out to be really good. We then painted smiles. It was lots of messy learning.
W/C: 23rd September
We have continued to count carefully and solve problems using our counting skills, such as 'Will 3 cups of water fill this jug?' We are getting more accurate with organising the objects by lining them up and touching each item when we say a number. Our fantastic word this week is 'clambered' which we found in the book 'Norris, the bear who shared' by Catherine Rayner. Our new reading area is very popular.
Thank you for coming to the meeting on Thursday. It was great to see so many people. Here is the handout.
W/C: 16th September
We listened to 'Sylvia and Bird' Catherine Rayner, hunting for our word of the week 'swooped'. When we heard it the children shouted out "swooped" and then moved their arms into a swooping motion. Sylvia and Bird are friends that work together. The children were then challenged to work with a friend to make one picture with 20 lolly sticks. It is sometimes hard to compromise but the children did well and learnt to work with someone new.
We talked this week about how it will look if we are ready for listening. This is our quality listening audience. The children decided that they need to use their eyes to look, ears to listen, brain to think and to sit still. Next week we will be talking about being respectful to people at school and all our toys and equipment.
We have continued to count with care; objects and actions.
The children got into their PE kits on Thursday and moved forwards and backwards in a variety of ways to music.
The children had the new experience of staying to lunch. They dealt with this admirably and tried different foods. The chicken curry was very tasty. We are all looking forward to staying all day next week.
W/C: 9th September
This week the children in Opal class took part in the skipping workshop. They learnt how to jump over the rope when it was a 'snake' and then jump while the rope was turned for them. They were fantastic, listening carefully and bouncing lots.
We have continued to count with care while using the picture book 'Abigail' by Catherine Rayner. We have counted giraffes, ladybird spots and stars. When counting carefully we have to say the number names in order and then if we can, touch the item. We will be using books by this author over this term.
Everyone is looking forward to meeting the other half of the class and staying to lunch next week.
W/C: 3rd September
The children have settled very well into Opal class . They have made new friends, learnt how to share the toys and have started to learn new rhymes and songs. We have been counting carefully and blending sounds to work hear the word e.g. "touch your ch-i-n".
Next week the children will need to have PE kits in school as we are taking part in the skipping workshop. It will also be useful to have a thin coat in school while the weather is changeable, as we go out to play even if it is drizzling.

Watch Kingdom Come
Starring Whoopi Goldberg, LL Cool J, Jada Pinkett Smith, Anthony Anderson and Loreeta Devine, 'Kingdom Come' is about a family's attempts to deal with the loss of a loved one, often through dysfunctional humor. The movie begins with Raynelle Slocumb (Whoopi Goldberg) reading a letter from his sister to her husband when Pop Slocumb passes away. The family is soon notified as the planning and discussion of the funeral arrangments soon begins. The first to arrive is the oldest son, Ray Bud (LL Cool J) with his wife Charisse (Smith) to help Mama Raynelle with the arrangments. The group is quickly joined by Pop's sister, Marguerite (Devine) who is a very enthusiastically religious, with her son, Royce. Finally, the Slocumb's second son, Junior (Anderson) and his wife, Lucille (Vivica A. Fox) arrive with their bunch of unruly children.
The family soon find themselves at odds as each has their own idea of what the funeral should represent and how it should be conducted. Junior wants to go all out for his father's funeral, however, the problem is that he doesn't have the financial resources to cover his vision. This sparks an argument as Ray Bud realizes that his brother is expecting him to pay for the services, which quickly turns into a wrestling match between the two. In the meantime, Lucille has discovered that Junior was unfaithful and wastes no time in letting the rest of the family know about their issues, while Ray Bud's wife, Charisse, is recovering from the devastating miscarriage she suffered months before and is trying to remain calm in the face of her husband's frenzy.
The family pulls together and finally face each of their own issues to appreciate their loved ones. The funeral shows each member just how short life can be and what they can easily lose. As the movie ends each member reveals what they have learned.

Thursday 18 February, 2010 - 21:31
The Minister's speech comes with no surprises as we are all aware of the global economic crisis that did not spare South Africa, resulting in a recession. However, the Minister can only do what can be done, especially when we look at the growing budget deficit which is envisaged to continue growing in the next 3 years, hitting the R1.3 trillion mark before it slows down. It is a well balanced budget that needs to be commended.
We welcome the measures to promote youth employment through the proposed subsidy to employers. However, it will be commendable if the Minister involved in developing an industrial policy takes it up with all stakeholders for it to be functional. It is an opportunity for young people to be absorbed within industry. After all, how are these young people going to get experience if industry does not open up? We do not have to be paid to develop the skills of our young people.
The proposed increase in taxes on fuel by 25.5 cents will see an increase in transport costs for the poor and will also contribute towards the cost of basic necessities such as food and clothing. It is commendable that education received a high proportion of the budget. However, it remains critical that the funds be put to better use by employing the necessary tools that will make pupils and teachers utilise this budget to the benefit of the country.
It is good that Government recognise that HIV/AIDS is a crisis that needs to be attended to. The additional R5.4 billion will go a long way towards preserving the lives of those already infected. Partnership between the private and public sector should take centre stage if the national health insurance system is to succeed.
In terms of the human settlement grant, it is critical that government looks into the housing gap to accommodate the middle income group. An addition of R6.7 billion to cushion poor households regarding the rising costs of electricity and water is welcomed.
On the social grant, the monthly increments for the old and the rise in disability grants are welcomed, although small. In terms of the child support grant, the increase is also too small, although we welcome that it will bring an additional two million children on board.
We welcome that there is recognition that corruption has retarded development and hence there is need to have it stamped out in all government bodies. It is our greatest hope that the inter-ministerial committee will continue to do a good job without it being corrupted in future.

Memorandum of Conversation, by the Under Secretary of State (Welles)
Monsieur Tixier, representative of the Fighting French, called to see me today. Monsieur Tixier first of all said he desired to discuss questions affecting French Guiana with me. He said he wished to read to me a series of telegrams which had been sent to General de Gaulle in London by Monsieur Sophie, the mayor of Cayenne. I said that I had already seen these telegrams in view of the fact that General de Gaulle had sent the texts of them yesterday to Admiral Stark and I had been informed of their contents by telegram. Monsieur Tixier wished to know what my opinion was with regard to the last in the series. This telegram merely stated that Monsieur Sophie and his associates had selected Monsieur Collat "chief of bureau as in charge of the affairs of the colony" and requested General de Gaulle's approval. I remarked that I didn't understand what the significance of this message was and that I didn't see that there was any cause for me to comment upon it.
Monsieur Tixier then said that he would like to know what the intentions of this Government were with regard to the situation in French Guiana. I replied that my understanding was that the Government of French Guiana had notified General Giraud of the adherence of the colony to General Giraud and his authority; that thereafter rioting had broken out and a committee of notables had informed Governor Veber that he would no longer be tolerated as Governor; that thereafter Colonel Vanegue had notified General Giraud and our [Page 263]own officials in French Guiana that they desired the appointment immediately by General Giraud of a new governor and that simultaneously Monsieur Sophie had sent identic messages of adherence to General Giraud and General de Gaulle; that thereafter General Giraud's delegation in Washington had sent by plane Colonel LeBel to Cayenne to act as the temporary representative of General Giraud and that General Giraud had responded to the request of the local authorities by appointing a new governor who was now actually on his way to Cayenne.
Monsieur Tixier interjected to say that he had demanded passage for Colonel Chevigné, his own military assistant, and that this Government had refused him passage. I answered that that was incorrect, that the question of priorities was a question for the War Department to determine, but that it was my clear understanding that the War Department in the latter case had stated that a priority could not immediately be arranged and that one would be available early next month.
I said that I really did not feel that there was anything to be gained by discussing details of this character with Monsieur Tixier, that the whole manner in which the Fighting French Committee had dealt with the question reminded me of nothing so much as an old fashioned farce which I used to see in my early days in the Palais Roy ale Theatre in Paris. I said it seemed to me appalling that at a moment like this, when the local population in French Guiana and the local authorities in that colony had declared their adherence to the cause of the United Nations for the purpose of cooperating in the defeat of Germany, the Fighting French authorities should be devoting themselves exclusively to trying to appoint their own individual authorities in the colony rather than devoting themselves to cooperating in the great cause in which we are all engaged. I said it seemed to me that this was more than ever an occasion for unity of French resistant effort and that it was pitiful to see distinguished and outstanding Frenchmen like General de Gaulle maneuvering for what they considered immediate personal political advantage rather than for effective and active cooperation in the war effort. I concluded by saying that I wondered if this would not be an admirable opportunity for all French resistant elements to get together and to agree to cooperate in French Guiana rather than to expend their energy in fighting each other.
Monsieur Tixier said that he was entirely in accord with my thesis but he wanted me to realize that Monsieur Sophie had been elected mayor of Cayenne in the year 1936 and consequently could speak for the will of the population in French Guiana far better than Colonel Vanegue, who was merely a military officer. I said that I could hardly take this remark seriously since I did not see that the fact that Monsieur Sophie had been elected mayor of Cayenne in 1936 had the slightest connection with his ability to speak today for the will of the [Page 264]people in French Guiana with regard to this, that or the other individual that should be appointed governor of the colony now. I reiterated my urgent request that an effort be made to achieve a meeting of the minds between the Giraud authorities in Algiers and the de Gaulle mission there so as to avoid any continuation of the present bickering.

A wild, weird day at FirstEnergy Stadium ended with a disappointing loss for the home team.
The Browns started as hot as they have all season and weathered a 19-point Seattle run to take a lead with 9 minutes to play in the fourth quarter only to fall, 32-28, on a sun-soaked Sunday by the lake.
"Too many mistakes," Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said. "Too many mistakes in the red zone. Can't overcome all of those. Still had a chance to overcome them."
Nursing a hip injury throughout the second half, Baker Mayfield completed 22-of-37 passes for 249 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions, his last of which all but sealed Cleveland's chances of pulling off a victory over the perennial NFC West power.
"I thought Baker was wired in, focused, concentrated during the course of the week," Kitchens said. "We had the best week of practice that we have had and did not execute in the critical situations, and I did not call good enough plays in critical situations.
"You can't move the ball if you turn the ball over. Simple as that. Execution. Execution. Can't turn the ball over. Do what you are supposed to do. I have to call better plays, but it is execution and turning the ball over. We had four turnovers. We had 400 yards of offense and had 28 points with four turnovers."
CLEVELAND – They can't pin this one on the refs.
No, Cleveland Browns, look in the mirror and see the egg on your face for what it is.
You blew it.
Sure, there were way too many head-scratching calls that went against Cleveland in the 32-28 setback that left the Browns (2-4) still search their first home victory of the season.
But there were even more cases of Browns blunders – in strategy and execution – that left much to the imagination of what might have been.
In the aftermath, though, Baker Mayfield was willing to make a charitable donation in order to get it on record that he thought the Browns were big-time victims of shabby officiating.
He grumbled about the illegal blindside block penalty on Jarvis Landry that wiped out a dazzling, cross-field catch-and-run by Nick Chubb that would have moved the chains. He whined about the officials missing a facemask penalty the Seahawks apparently committed against Chubb during a goal-line pileup. And like his coach, Freddie Kitchens, he thought Landry crossed the plane of the end zone on the fumble that wasn't reversed by instant replay.
Tough breaks. Mayfield, who also maintained, "the refs are never an excuse," had some legitimate beefs as referee Adrian Hill's crew dropped 19 flags on the two teams to underscore some of the general sloppiness on display.
Just don't believe the Browns were robbed — unless they burglarized themselves.
Quick, Roger Goodell, pass a new rule: Teams that commit five or more turnovers can't complain about officials … even when the calls and replays don't always match up.
No, this loss falls at the feet of the undisciplined team that committed five turnovers, had a punt blocked, blew a 20-6 lead and inexplicably kept tempting fate with some questionable play-calling near the goal line.
Before that Landry fumble early in the fourth quarter, the Browns, trailing 25-20, had two cracks from the Seahawks' 1-yard line. Yet rather than try pounding it in with Chubb, who finished with 122 rushing yards, Kitchens put it on Mayfield's arm. And the third-down fade pass to Odell Beckham Jr. didn't come close to being completed. On fourth down, Kitchens called a play that had Mayfield in a shotgun with an empty backfield. Mayfield threw a quick pass to Landry that resulted in the fumble.
The Browns dodged that episode as the Seahawks were penalized for having 12 men on the field. After Chubb was stuffed on the ensuing fourth down, the Browns forced a punt and started the next drive with prime field position that led to the TD. Yet with the lost challenge, they also lost a timeout that could have come in handy at crunch time.
Ah, crunch time. Mayfield's last pass of the day, a fling to the flat for running back Dontrell Hilliard, was behind the target. So much for a game-winning drive, which the Browns were clearly think when they took over with 3:30 remaining. Instead, Mayfield's errant throw resulted in a too-easy interception for K.J. Wright. Ballgame.
On the season, that with INT No. 11 for Mayfield (who has thrown for 5 TDs). That's no way to win.
Look at Russell Wilson, having an MVP season for the Seahawks. He passed for 295 yards with 2 touchdowns and didn't commit a turnover. Composure was his ticket. When his team trailed by 14 points early, he didn't flinch. When the radio receiver in his helmet malfunctioned, he stayed cool and started calling his own plays in up-tempo fashion as if it were no sweat. He ran his number of fourth-quarter game-winning victory drives to 30, more than anyone else since he entered the NFL in 2012.
Sure, the Seahawks have been through a lot over the years, with a handful of veterans still in tow from the Legion of Boom glory run. They know not to panic.
Then again, if Mayfield hadn't throw a pick just before halftime, maybe there would have been no need for last-minute drama. The Browns were set up beautifully, leading 20-12 with second down from the Seahawks' 10-yard line inside the two-minute warning. But Mayfield's throw for Landry in the end zone was a bit behind the target, and Shaquill Griffin deflected it into the arms of Tedric Thompson – a turnover that Wilson's Seahawks converted into an 88-yard TD drive that was pretty much a 14-point swing.
So, as much as the Browns were vexed by the officials, their frustrations shouldn't come anywhere close to the disdain they should have for their own blunders.
There were several cases when Mayfield was on the mark but his targets muffed or outright dropped the passes. There were first downs negated by holding penalties. Missed tackles. Busted coverages. A lot of teaching moments on video, with a bye week to use for corrections.
Kitchens praised his team for the effort and was encouraged by the efficiency early in the game – which ultimately was undone by the turnovers. Sugar-coating the bottom line won't cut it. And tight calls or not, the coach admitted that some of the penalties (nine for 83 yards) were disturbing because they reflected a lack of concentration.
"Sometimes, it is playing with emotion instead of passion," he said, alluding to the roughing-the-passer and late hit calls. "During the play, it's technique, being lazy or not doing your job. There are several things. We do not ever practice penalties."
Maybe that's not a bad idea, because whatever the Browns are practicing, they just can't seem to get it right with enough consistency.
Still, it's a long season. Being 2-4 is not a death sentence. This team that entered the season with so many expectations, so much hype and, yes, so much swagger, has time to rally to make a playoff push – especially with a schedule that seemingly becomes less grueling down the stretch.
But to live up to their hope, the Browns surely need to learn to not beat themselves.
These may be the growing pains, but at the moment they reflect a reality.
Russell Wilson led the way for the Seahawks, rushing for Seattle's first touchdown of the day and throwing for 295 yards and two more scores. Chris Carson rushed for 124 yards and scored the go-ahead and, ultimately, game-winning touchdown with 3:30 to play.
Nick Chubb led the Browns with 122 yards and two touchdowns, the second of which gave Cleveland back a lead it held the entire first half before seeing it wither away in the second and third quarters. Odell Beckham Jr. caught six passes for 101 yards.
"Definitely trying to get it into the playmakers' hands like I harped on all week," Mayfield said. "(Beckham) can make plays, and when he is hot, he is going to make plays."
Early in the fourth quarter, the Browns were on the doorsteps for the go-ahead touchdown but came away with nothing after an odd sequence filled with a big fourth-down conversion, a handful of penalties and an unsuccessful challenge of a potential Jarvis Landry touchdown. Ultimately, Chubb was stuffed, and Seattle had the ball back with a five-point lead.
The Browns, though, got it right back after a 23-yard Michael Dickson punt and scored in two plays. Chubb ran 21 yards and then 3 more for his second score of the game, giving Cleveland the short-lived lead.
Seattle, as it did all game, came right back. Wilson led the way on a nine-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard Carson touchdown with 3:30 to play.
Faced with a second-and-15, Mayfield threw behind Dontrell Hilliard, who deflected the ball into the arms of linebacker K.J. Wright. Seattle ran out the clock from there.
"Trell played great. Obviously, there is a lot of stuff that we can look back on and learn from," Mayfield said. "Stuff like that is going to happen. It is just the timing of it is obviously not great. Tried to protect him on the throw, but it is a tough one."
The Browns' third turnover of the game led directly to their first deficit at the 6-minute mark in the third quarter. Chubb's fumble on a screen pass preceded a seven-play, 58-yard drive that was capped by a touchdown pass from Wilson to Jaron Brown that featured Wilson buying all sorts of time before firing to a diving Brown.
Following their worst game of the year, the Browns had one of their best offensive quarters of the season to kick things off Sunday.
Cleveland rode the momentum of Hilliard's game-opening 74-yard kick return and found the end zone when Chubb scored his fifth touchdown of the season from 7 yards. The next possession included even more proficiency, as Mayfield found Landry for 27 yards on a fourth-and-seven and followed with the first rushing touchdown of his young NFL career, scoring from 10 yards.
Mayfield's first pass of the second quarter was a touchdown, too, as he found Ricky Seals-Jones for a 31-yarder to stake the Browns to a two-score lead.
Seattle, though, was more than game from that point forward, forcing two Mayfield interceptions and blocking a punt to slice into Cleveland's lead, 20-18, at the half.
"We didn't overcome the turnovers today," Beckham said. "Not to say that they didn't play a good game, but we beat ourselves a lot. It was a combination of them playing a good game and making the plays where needed and us not making the plays and hurting ourselves with penalties and turnovers.
A blocked punt turned into an easy field goal, and Seattle's first interception of Mayfield stalled a promising Browns drive. The backbreaker came with less than 2 minutes to play, as Mayfield threw behind Landry, saw the ball deflect and land in the arms of Tedric Thompson. The Seahawks turned this turnover into a touchdown when Wilson weathered a big hit to complete a 17-yard touchdown pass to Brown.
The Browns are off next week before taking on the New England Patriots in Week 8.
"We still have five division games left. There are some very important road games later in the year," Mayfield said. "We will see what we are made of."

What is MEDS?
MEDS (Meeting of Design Students) is an international association created in 2010 by and for students and young professionals from various creative disciplines: architecture, industrial design, graphic design, landscape design, photography and more.
Each year, MEDS organizes a two-week long event, hosted in a different country, with an average of 200 participants.
This is an opportunity for young designers to learn from each other, share experience and improve their abilities. Different people, cultures, languages and design departments will gather in one place, to come up with fresh ideas.
MEDS workshop
The 'workshop' is a two-week event that takes place in August each year, and is the main 'meeting' of MEDS. Within the workshop are a number of projects led by Tutors (design students or professionals), who have applied to create their concept – along with their team of eager and talented Participants – during the workshop. There is a strict schedule of fun activities, including working on projects, lectures and labs, and of course getting to know your fellow MEDS crew.
MEDS network
Outside the workshop, MEDS is an international network of dedicated designers that support one another in personal projects. MEDS participants have become tutors at other workshops, organise events in their own countries, and organise MEDS workshops. The network is currently expanding into an online platform, which is still in development.
MEDS 2016///City of Contrasts
For the first time MEDS will be held in Romania. Between the 1st and 15th of August 2016 Bucharest will host MEDS workshop in its contrasting historical and cultural background.
All elements of your creative exploration are to enhance Bucharest's Eclectic & unique style. When we refer to Bucharest, as being a City of Contrasts, we talk about conflicting urban juxtapositions, running backlit images and loud traffic sounds, about the rich, the poor, the religious & the mystic, about traditions, music, craftsmanship and vernacular architecture.
MEDS Workshop 'City of Contrasts'
1ST-15TH Aug 2016
Bucharest /// CITY OF CONTRASTS
250 participants / 14 days
15 workshops / 12 speakers
