I came here to study financial management, however after my first year of foundation studies, I was given the choice to study a joint degree. This inspired me as I thought a joint degree would open up more opportunities. It also enabled me to combine politics and international relations with economics, skills that I want to use when I finish and pursue my career in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
My reason for choosing JCU is because it was closer to home. I have three children and to take them further south would mean that it would be very expensive for us to travel home. The climate here is also very similar to home life.
The lecturers are so helpful. I love them. I am able to go to them for help whenever I need it and I have a great working relationship with them. One of my lecturers also has children and I feel that she understands some of the struggles I have when I am studying.
At first, the transition from work life, to study was difficult for me. I hadn't studied since I left school in Year 10 and completed my Diploma of Accounting. It was hard at first, as I didn't know how things were done at this level, and especially because I initially needed to leave my children at home. I was actually going to stop studying and go back home, but the support provided by the International Support Officers at JCU helped me a lot.
They directed me to all the help I would need, they told me about the counselling, the library services, they gave us a one month introductory program before starting our courses — they were my one stop shop. It was great, and the fact that help was available was one of the reasons that I kept on going.
I love learning about economics — because it's in everyday life. I was a member of the Business Professional Women's group in PNG and we worked on a number of projects to build economic empowerment in women. We provided scholarships to girls who cannot afford to pay for their education. It's something I will definitely continue when I return, I want to be a strong advocate for gender equality in PNG. I believe my qualifications, both in economics and in politics and international relations, will allow me to work in governance and positively impact others in PNG.

Important Tips for Buying Alcoholic Spirits.
Alcohol is one of the products many governments like to impose heavy taxes on. Nevertheless, people continue to taking he beverages. There is always an excuse for people to hit the pub whether they have been hard at work the entire day or they are just doing it for distraction. Nothing matters that much when it comes to ordering alcohol be it the time or something else. You will be considered a party pooper if you are inviting people for the party and there are no drinks. In fact, it is not strange to ask people to buy drinks for the party on their way in. You have to be considerate of the important aspects when you are purchasing your alcohol. Some people think that anything which has alcohol in it is a spirit but there are serious differences in matters to do with the classification. To make alcoholic spirits, the products undergo fermentation and then they are distilled and this is one of the reasons why many spirits come out clear in color.Almost anything can be fermented and it will give you the end result. Also, the concentration is affected by distillation and it can be anywhere from 20 percent to 90 percent. However, for human consumption, the alcohol concentration is adjusted to be closer to 20.
In buying the spirits, you have to consider the occasion because it is not everywhere you serve the drinks. You will find many social events serving wine but for the freestyle parties spirits are more preferred. You should not disregard the age of those who will be coming to the party as well. People who are young will always go for spirits rather than wine because they are more daring. Since the body systems are working optimally at the young age, processing of the alcoholic spirits is not a big deal and the youngster will be up and about the next day without suffering from an unshakeable hangover.
You will have to buy the alcoholic spirits most of the time unless you make your own and that is why you should come up with a budget. Thanks to the high concentrations of spirits, people who are taking them without adding soft drinks will be drunk in record time. Thus, if you do not want to spend a lot of money on drinks you should go for the concentrated ones. If you want the alcohol to keep flowing, you can dilute the drinks and they will still be strong. When it comes to intoxication, the moment someone hits the climax what comes next will not be of much importance. Regardless of how much you need the drinks, you cannot break the law to get them and expect to go free and to avoid messes you should view here for more information about the laws that govern alcohol consumption.

The Yankees weren't able to complete a three-game sweep as they lost to the Red Sox 8-5 on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. >> Box score
Six takeaways from Sunday's game
1) CC Sabathia was not fantastic, but did more than enough to keep the Yankees in the game, and probably provided more length (six innings) than they might have honestly believed they would receive. Sabathia allowed three runs (including two homers) and struck out eight batters as he came up short in his latest attempt to secure career win No. 250.
2) Clint Frazier is not a good outfielder. Frazier misplayed what should have been a single into a run-scoring error and the floodgates opened from there in the seventh inning. Frazier booted another ball in the inning and then had one get by him due to a poor route in the eighth inning. The Yankees might want his bat in the lineup, but his defense is a detriment at this point.
3) The Yankees' bullpen had thrown 24 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings until Luis Cessa was charged with five earned runs in his one-plus innings of work.
4) Luke Voit launched his 15th home run of the season in the Yankees' two-run fourth inning. Voit now owns a team-high 39 RBIs.
5) Gleyber Torres recorded two hits on the night, boosting his average to .293 for the season. Here's a reminder that Torres, who also drove in a run, is just 22 years old and continues to blossom as a hitter before our eyes.
6) The Yanks closed to within 8-5 with a three-run eighth inning, scoring runs on a balk, an RBI groundout and a sacrifice fly.

The Yankees begin with a three-game set against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Tuesday.

Dir: Andrew Hulme. UK. 2014. 108mins
In many respects Snow In Paradise is just another weary swagger down the mean streets of gangland London. The tried and tested ingredients are all present from dodgy drug deals to sorted geezers speaking in menacing whispers, random acts of appalling violence and clipped, cryptic dialogue with a vaguely Pinteresque rhythm.
Hulme made his name as an editor on such Paul McGuigan films as Gangster No.1 and Lucky Number Slevin and uses his editing skills in Snow In Paradise to juggle time and fraction our perception of events.
Two things lend some interest to Andrew Hulme's directorial debut; the screen presence of relative newcomer Frederick Schmidt as the troubled central character Dave and Dave's search for an alternative path to a life of crime. Told with some style, the film will be too mannered and derivative for mainstream audiences and has little out of the ordinary to attract fans of the Danny Dyer school of British gangland mayhem.
Snow In Paradise does provide a great showcase for Frederick Schmidt, previously seen in Starred Up, who has signs of the brooding intensity that could allow him to follow in the footsteps of Jack O'Connell or Tom Hardy. His Dave is a petty criminal in London's East End being encouraged into the family business by his sinister Uncle Jimmy played by Martin Askew in a far from subtle fashion.
Jimmy is such a pantomime figure that you anticipate his appearances will start to require a puff of smoke and a set of scarlet horns. Unfortunately, Askew is also credited with co-writing the script that is the film's greatest failings. There seems little consistency in Dave's character throughout the film as the aftermath of a drug deal forces him to question if this is really the life for him.
Dave's salvation arrives when he steps into the local mosque and finds a quiet sanctuary. It is the most original element of the story and the one that is least developed. He does return but the film never quite gets to grips with why or what it all means to him or if he has truly discovered some aspects of Islam that appeal.
The prospect of building Dave into some kind of lost soul from an Abel Ferrara movie is one that Snow In Paradise lets slip through its grasp. It could have been more interesting than Dave's drug-fuelled descent into despair and the way he becomes caught in the crossfire between Jimmy and his more affable rival Micky, entertainingly played by British television veteran David Spinx. There is also an appealing supporting performance from Aymen Hamdouchi as Dave's best mate Tariq who leaves a strong impression from his relatively modest screen time.
Hulme made his name as an editor on such Paul McGuigan films as Gangster No.1 and Lucky Number Slevin and uses his editing skills in Snow In Paradise to juggle time and fraction our perception of events. It doesn't really add anything to the experience and feels like an attempt to inject some dynamism into a story that is tired and overly familiar.

As a chinchilla fan, you might have already read our recent article about how important the dust bath is. We have also written one about the chinchilla diet, which is an important aspect if you own such a pet. In this article, we decided to offer some information regarding the costs that having a chinchilla implies.
That is right! Having a pet requires you to invest time, love, to make sure you can offer high-quality living conditions, but it also implies various costs. There are multiple factors that should influence the decision to get a new pet.
First of all, what type is the right one for you? Are you prepared or do you even have enough time to dedicate? Are you able to provide a safe environment? And last, but not least, are you prepared to manage the financial obligations that come from owning a pet?
If your answer is yes to all the above questions, and your heart is set on a chinchilla, we are going to break down the costs for you to get a clear idea of what is expecting you from the financial point of view.
Getting a chinchilla
The price of a chinchilla can vary a lot depending on where you get it from, and what color you want. Usually, pet stores sell standard gray chinchillas starting from $150. The price for colored chins is higher. Breeders ask for a similar price, but you can find one as low as $80 in areas where lots of these pets are sold.
If you want to get yours from a breeder, you should know that the price is considered according to pedigree or fur quality. Therefore, a show quality chinchilla will cost much more than a no-show one. While there are numerous places you can get your pet from, adopting a rescue one would not only be cheaper, but you would be doing a good deed.
However, if adopting a chinchilla is not an option for you, the typical price range based on the above factors can vary between $150 and $350.
Initial costs
Besides the chinchilla itself, the most important item you need to get is the cage. A high-quality safe chinchilla cage can cost anywhere between $100 and $300. How much more you are willing to spend on this product is totally up to you.
If you want to reduce the cost a little, you can also look for used cages, but make sure the one you get does not come with any defects, and you need to clean and sanitize it properly before putting it to use.
The food dish is an item that should not be missing from your pet's cage. It is recommended using metal or ceramic, as chinchillas can chew plastic. This type of product costs around $4 to $9. We suggest getting a bowl with hooks to attach to the sides of the cage in order to avoid tipping over.
The water bottle is just as important as the food bowl, as hydration is essential. The material for the bottle should be glass, and the price can vary between $5 and $25. As chinchillas require regular dust baths, you will also need to get a dust bath house, which usually costs around $10-$15.
These pets are also very active, so keeping them entertained is very important. Chew toys should not be missing from the cage, and they cost anywhere from $3 to $10 per piece. It is also recommended to provide your small companion a hideaway house, or a nesting box.
This accessory comes in a wide array of materials, so make sure you avoid plastic or any unsafe woods. You will be able to find a suitable one for $10-$15, but you can also pay around $40 for a metal nesting box. Again, this is up to your preference and budget. Hay feeders come with a huge range of prices starting from $4 and going up to $30.
This being said, the initial costs can be anywhere between $200 and $450.
Ongoing costs
Besides the initial costs, there are the ongoing costs that will last all throughout your pet's life. For starters, you need to get quality chinchilla pellets. If you have only one pet, the recommended portion is 2 or 3 tablespoons of food per day.
A five-pound bag should be enough to last you for two months. You can find such a bag at around $10, which means you will be spending an average of $5 per month. Treats are just as important as food in a chinchilla's life and there are plenty to select from on the market.
The brand and type totally depend on you and your chinchilla. Still, you should be spending somewhere around $5 on quality and healthy treats for your small companion. Another product you will be spending on is bathing dust.
Again, there is a variety on the market to select from, but a three-pound container should last you a long time, as you only need to replace it a few times per year. You can find such a container at around $9. Safe hay is also a necessity for chinchillas. Timothy hay is the most popular choice and it is incredibly affordable, especially if you purchase it in a bulk.
Of course, the amount you use depends on your pet's preference. This will cost you around $5 on a monthly basis. Last, but not least, you should also get your chinchilla chewing sticks or blocks. The amount you will need to buy depends on your small friend's habits, but it is safe to say that it should not cost you more than $5 per month.
In total, you should not be spending more than $35 a month and still offer your pet a healthy and safe lifestyle at the same time.
Occasional costs
Although we would like our pets to stay healthy and happy for the longest time possible, that is not always the case. Besides the necessary check-ups from the veterinarian, your beloved companion can get sick and may even need treatment.
This will make you get more money from your pocket, but if you take good care of your pet, these events should be as few as possible.

This audiobook edition is narrated by Sean Runnette.
Forgiveness, as Hamilton puts it, is essential to our lives. It is due to our human nature to cause harm. Success, freedom, and joy come from "I am sorry" and "I forgive you." These six words determine if we will have bitterness and pain, or otherwise. Not intended as an exhaustive study on the doctrine of forgiveness, this text instead examines the four common relationships in which forgiveness is crucial: G-d, significant other, parents/siblings, and others.
While each circumstance is unique, Hamilton summarizes the most common relationship struggles that people encounter every day, and this book is the basic summary of how to heal from each relationship hurt through forgiving and seeking forgiveness.
Runnette's narration is solid for this text, reading at a medium pace and with a slight intonation. He manages to provide an empathetic reading that permits listeners to identify with the text and learn from the material. Whereas prior works have felt slightly mechanical, Runnette's effort in this text is clearly heard, reducing the amount of "computer" feel to his voice talent narration. Audiobook enthusiasts will find this performance to be a fair pairing to the written material.Disclosure: I have received a reviewer copy and/or payment in exchange for an honest review of the product mentioned in this post.

Corrective Maintenance is the technical activity carried out after a failure has occurred and its purpose is to restore an asset to a condition in which it can perform its intended function, either by repairing or replacing it.
This does not mean that Corrective Maintenance is only to be implemented by itself. It can be used as part of a wider strategy to plan your maintenance.
The "into the ground" approach
If Corrective Maintenance is used on its own, it is often nicknamed the run-to-failure maintenance. No precautionary actions are performed on piece of equipment which is deliberately left running until it breaks down. Only afterwards is it repaired or replaced.
This "into the ground" approach is actually ideal for low-priority equipment, without which the company's operations can continue running normally. It is also a viable approach for assets of lower value where consistent monitoring or maintenance may ultimately prove more expensive than reparations or substitutions when malfunctions occur.
However when applied to high priority equipment, it may eventually lead to downtime since normal operations will need to be halted as technicians work. It can also lead to very high long-term expenses if applied to assets of higher value.
Corrective Maintenance as part of a bigger picture
Even with comprehensive Preventive Maintenance or Predictive Maintenance plans in place, Corrective Maintenance can (and should) be employed. When it is integrated to other methods, it is known as reactive maintenance.
As useful as these plans can be in some circumstances, these proactive maintenance strategies are not 100% effective. There will always be unexpected failures, albeit fewer, with Preventive or Predictive Maintenance. Corrective measures will often need to be taken to fix unplanned failures and so it is well worthwhile training your team to understand them.
Typically, experts suggest that you observe the 80/20 rule. That is to say that just 20% of maintenance should constitute corrective actions, whilst the remaining 80% should be directed towards proactive maintenance.
Corrective Maintenance is an unpredictable strategy that requires careful implementation and should be reserved for assets whose failure will not jeopordise your entire operations or cost your company excessive amounts of money.
Find out more about this and other types of maintenance in our article on the subject.
Did you know?
A Computerised Maintenance Management System can help you create, manage and evaluate your maintenance strategy. The Infraspeak CMMS provides you with a multitude of features, including failure reporting, asset, work order management, cost management and more.
Do you think you may need a CMMS? Here are 5 signs you should invest in one and how it can help you save money.

What was your most bad ass moment in Squad?
CptDirty replied to shipidge's topic in General DiscussionClutch moments when you work with other SL's to get your squad on cap at the exact moment when it becomes active or your team capturing that point before the enemy neutralizes yours - and you start rolling
Struggling with this game
CptDirty replied to Urbanski's topic in General DiscussionThat's because the public matches lack coordination. The degree of coordination you want is seen in organized groups/clans with a proper briefing where each person knows EXACTLY what they'll be doing. Joining a public match is a hit or miss with SL's. This is exactly the reason why, as an SL, I take my entire squad to capture/defend objectives and leave the emplacements for the blueberries. I'll refer you to the first reply on this thread:
release Alpha 12 Released
CptDirty replied to Gatzby's topic in AnnouncementsI got the exact same vibe playing on Yeho! I kinda like it
What's more laughable is this expectations that experienced players are somehow the solution to cover BASICS with new players.
Finishing Touches
CptDirty replied to Zylfrax791's topic in General Discussion4 years to implement haha
V12 no ammo
CptDirty replied to Rick's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsOr just give the community some time to adjust...
Safe to say that's a +1 from me. Maybe even a +2.
Ok so public games. Just wanted to make sure what you mean. Never heard or seen the term PUG until today. Yep. Yep. That's also a great way to alienate a major percentage, arguably the bigger one, of the player base. Considering the recent changes to RP's, tickets, revive, etc...we can see that the devs are leaning towards making the base game more accessible to a wider audience, apply a more inclusive and forgiving approach to public play which logically invites (or keeps) bigger number of players. Meanwhile all this is done in conjunction with modding community and private clans that are free to conduct more 'hardcore' matches and apply their own set of rules, mechanics, etc... i.e Squadops 1-life events. So you see, I'm a big advocate of the game being inclusive. I personally like the briefings, higher coordination, higher standard of communication, deeper level of gameplay, etc that 'hardened' game mechanics can bring. I just know that by doing so, you risk lowering the, already low, population of Squad which is why I like the direction OWI is taking. It's time for custom servers to shine with altered game machanics that appeal to the hardcore crowd. Only then we could compare the numbers and see where the majority would prefer to play.
What PUG stands for?
Says who, and why?
So start with the MBT's then once destroyed it's the IFV's that become available and so on? Heavy hitters first. Only concern I have is the transportation aspect of it. MBT's can't carry the same amount of passengers as IFV's/APC's. In the event that those become the preferred method of redeployment and transportation across the map, well...your suggestion makes it hard for that to ever happen. Don't get me wrong I like it from a 'conservation of assets' point of view. In a recent thread I was going head to head with another forum member and began to think about incentivizing the use of those vehicles over RP's so your suggestion ties into that.
Report Server Admin Abuse feedback
CptDirty replied to Squad Fox's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsI agree with you. However that's not what I was suggesting. My idea was to appoint a person who's going to be looking into these claims and conduct basically an investigation into each matter then send it up to someone at OWI to take a decision based on those findings. Definitely not a lucrative assignment but an important one nevertheless. I don't know anything about OWI's internal process but when I sent in a report on a problematic player with video evidence, all I'm saying is that it would've been nice to at least receive confirmation that it's being looked into.

The interdisciplinary essays in Decolonial Voices discuss racialized, subaltern, feminist, and diasporic identities and the aesthetic politics of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions. This collection represents several key directions in the field: First, it charts how subaltern cultural productions of the US/ Mexico borderlands speak to the intersections of "local," "hemispheric," and "globalized" power relations of the border imaginary. Second, it recovers the Mexican women's and Chicana literary and cultural heritages that have been ignored by Euro-American canons and patriarchal exclusionary practices. It also expands the field in postnationalist directions by creating an interethnic, comparative, and transnational dialogue between Chicana and Chicano, African American, Mexican feminist, and U.S. Native American cultural vocabularies.
Contributors include Norma Alarcón, Arturo J. Aldama, Frederick Luis Aldama, Cordelia Chávez Candelaria, Alejandra Elenes, Ramón Garcia, María Herrera-Sobek, Patricia Penn Hilden, Gaye T. M. Johnson, Alberto Ledesma, Pancho McFarland, Amelia María de la Luz Montes, Laura Elisa Pérez, Naomi Quiñonez, Sarah Ramirez, Rolando J. Romero, Delberto Dario Ruiz, Vicki Ruiz, José David Saldívar, Anna Sandoval, and Jonathan Xavier Inda.
Arturo J. Aldama is Associate Professor in the Department of Chicana/o Studies at Arizona State University. He is the author of Disrupting Savagism:Intersecting Chicana/o, Mexicana/o and Native American Struggles for Representation and several articles on Chicana/o and Native American cultural, literary and filmic studies. He is also Director elect for the Chicana and Chicano literary studies executive committee of the Modern Language Association.
Naomi Quiñonez is Assistant Professor in the Department of Chicana/o Studies at Cal State Fullerton. She is a widely anthologized poet and the author of Hummingbird Dreams/ Sueño de Colibri; The Smoking Mirror (1998); the editor of Invocation L.A.: Urban Multicultural Poetry. Her scholarly work appears in several anthologies and special issues of top refereed journals.
"Decolonial Voices offers a range of interdisciplinary essays that discuss racialized, subaltern, feminist, and diasporic identities and the aesthetic politics of hybrid and mestiza/o cultural productions. In doing so, this volume brings together a body of theoretically rigorous interdisciplinary essays that articulate and expand the contours of Chicana and Chicano cultural studies."
"Aldama (Arizona State Univ.) and Quiñones (California State Univ., Fullerton) have assembled a remarkable range of essays on topics ranging from dresses and body art, film, popular music (including Chicano rap), and literary works to race, nationalism, and gender. . . . This essential work cuts across disciplinary boundaries and illuminates many aspects of contemporary Chicana/o life.November 2002"

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - The state of Indiana reported its first flu-related death at the start of November. Medical professionals said that was earlier than normal. But since then, there hasn't been much chatter about the disease.
During cold and flu season, you have to be careful everywhere you go. This includes the store, the gas station, and for some, the classroom.
News 10 spoke with college student, Indiana State Junior Nathan Wojciechowski. He says he's done all he can to stay well this semester.
He shares, "I just don't want to get sick. That's it! I've been sick with the flu before, and it was the worst week of my life."
Flu season runs from October through May. So, we find ourselves in the middle of it now. To prepare, Wojciechowski says he took the advice of his folks.
He says, "My parents have always told, me just get your flu shot no matter what, even if you don't think it'll do anything."
Wojciechowski has managed to stay healthy so far this year. He partly credits that to getting the flu shot. Wojciechowski is also in a fraternity. He says his housemates got their flu shots too, and, they've even taken precautions to the next level.
He shares, "We do deep cleans every week to make sure we scrub basically everything in the house. Railings, light switches, door knobs, to make sure no one can get sick."
But Wojciechowski says this year, on campus, something is definitely different.
Wojciechowski explains, "Normally there's like a time where you notice everyone is coughing or sniffling, but this year I haven't really noticed it."
As it turns out, this student is on to something! Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a local doctor has shown the flu season to be mild so far.
The CDC reported last year's flu season was one of the deadliest on record. When Indiana saw its first flu death early this season, many were worried that meant we were in for another rough one. But, so far so good.
There are maps from the CDC showing flu activity from last flu season to this flu season. There are fewer areas of high activity.
News 10 reached out to Union Health to see how things were closer to the Wabash Valley.
We spoke with Emergency Department Medical Director, Dr. Anita Toussi. She says there have been zero confirmed cases of the flu in the ER so far. But, Dr. Toussi says that doesn't mean to let your guard down, or slack on prevention.
She explains, "It's not too late, and I would recommend that everyone gets the flu shot, six months and up. And there's different forms of flu shots as you know. They have the nasal one this year that's recommended. You need to ask your doctor which type of shot you should have."
Dr. Toussi says viruses are unpredictable. That's why it's so hard to gauge whether the worst of flu season just hasn't hit yet, or if this year's vaccines are doing a great job.
Toussi explains, "So then, it was much more active. We had a lot of cases. It was a bad flu season last year. This year, we believe it has not started yet."
What Dr. Toussi can say, is to keep washing your hands, and stay home when you're sick.

Basketball rescued Isaiah Williams from tough New Jersey streets where violence and murder were a part of life. Twenty-four close friends of his weren't so lucky.
The Iona hoops star comes from an infamous neighborhood in Newark called "The Jungle," and he wasn't always sure he would live to be a grown-up. As reporter Matthew Stanmyre reveals in a feature published by NJ.com, Williams keeps a list on his phone of the loved ones taken away from him by violence.
At the same time, he worries about a similar fate for his younger brother, Kevin. Those close to Isaiah say his fear of another loved one dying has him in a perpetual state of fear. Every text his phone receives sends him into a panic.
"I'd probably be done [if Kevin died]," Isaiah says through tears to NJ.com. "I probably can't take it no more."
Williams' story is one of escape -- or rather, an inability to fully escape. Basketball helped him leave The Jungle, but with loved ones still stuck in the neighborhood, he can't fully escape -- not emotionally, and sometimes not physically, either. NJ.com reports that he briefly left Iona at one point to return home and keep a watchful eye over Kevin, although he later returned.
Even now, as he leads his team toward a possible conference championship and NCAA tournament berth, Williams doesn't feel like he's actually escaped. He's in a different place geographically, but he remains close to the source of The Jungle's pain.
Growing up, Williams' mother made every effort to keep her boys inside and safe. She bought a mini-basketball hoop and invested into video games, which were safer than playing outside. But Isaiah was determined to play basketball on the outdoor courts. It was out there that he punched a ticket out of the neighborhood through a college basketball scholarship.
At first, that was a ticket he didn't want to accept.
"I had an 'I-don't-give-a-(damn) attitude' where I don't care about school,'" he tells NJ.com. "'I'm not going to school. Nobody can make me go to school.'"
Williams ultimately did, and his past was winding: He needed post-graduate year before entering college and played at two different schools before arriving at Iona. Along the way, various tragedies back home interrupted his ascent and kept the reality of his upbringing ever-close, but he has overcome those challenges to flourish as a junior, averaging 13.5 points while shooting 51 percent from the floor.
He's been a big part of Iona's success. And it gets better: Kevin and his mother attend as many games as they can. They're able to witness his success, while he can look behind the team's bench and see that both of them are safe.

Assessment driving lessons in Blackpool
Here at Golden Mile Driving School we don't just teach students with no driving experience we also get many students asking us for a driving assessment lesson. There could be many reasons for this, such as the learner driver may be thinking of completing a driving crash course and would like to know which driving course would be best suited to them, or it could be a learner driver who is currently with another driving school and feels that they are not making progress and would like a second opinion. We've had many foreign students come to us who have driven in a different country before and feel a little out of practice on the UK roads so they come to us to assess their level of driving and we can offer help, advice and strategies to help brush up their current driving standard.
What will happen on my first driving lesson?
You will be carefully assigned your driving instructor by our office team. We will discuss your needs and carefully select an instructor that we feel is best suited to your current skills. Our driving lessons are designed to allow both you and your driving instructor to get to know one another, its vital that you feel comfortable with your instructor, but don't worry, all of our instructors are really friendly and polite. When you first meet your driving instructor they will take some details from you regarding your past driving experience.
How will my driving be assessed?
After the instructor has taken all the relevant information from you regarding your previous experience, your instructor will personally tailor a lesson plan so that he or she can see how your driving skills are. We use many marking systems, fault analysis and coaching techniques all proven to help the learner progress. We won't have you driving around aimlessly as that serves no purpose. A few examples of what your instructor w be looking at are:
Effective use of mirrors
Basic control of the car. gears, foot pedals, steering etc
Hazard awareness
Anticipation and planning
We all learn differently, not everyone is the same. We understand this and our instructors are highly trained to adapt their driving tuition skills to match your current driving level.
Before the assessment lesson begins, you may be asked some questions. These could include:
- How many driving lessons have you had in total?
- When was the last time you drove a car?
- Can you drive any other vehicles, such as motorbike?
- What manoeuvres/driving skills have you practised?
- What areas of your driving do you feel least confident?
- Have you started studying for your theory test?
The specific wording of the questions may change, but the general theme should be the same. Our aim as a driving school is teach you safe driving for life. Our instructors will want to know as much as possible about your driving history, this in turn will prevent wasted hours on topics that you may not need.
What things should I ask my driving instructor?
As we mentioned earlier, You need to make sure you're comfortable with your driving instructor. Being able to understand their instructions and building a good rapport is important. You're paying for the driving lessons, so please don't be afraid to ask about your instructor's ability to teach you.
Some basic questions you want to ask before you choose your driving instructor in Blackpool:
- What is your pass rate?
- What is your lesson plan for my driving lesson?
- Are you a fully qualified driving instructor or a trainee?
- How long have you been a driving instructor?
- What GRADE driving instructor are you? (GRADE A is highest, Grade B is lowest)
Remember to ask these questions before you part with your money, if you don't feel comfortable then it's probably best that your find another driving school. A good driving instructor should always be honest, polite, calm and fully prepared for your lesson. They should be asking you lots of questions about driving and also be encouraging. We highly recommend you look for reviews and ratings to see what others have to say about the driving school.

Personally, I have never related to an image more than the one above.
Sleep? What's that?
Being a young parent there are primarily two options. One, don't have a social life or two, stretch your limits in order to have one. I've chosen the second option.
Having a child often means your days are filled with well- your child. And personally, I am not the kind of parent to drag my child around social gatherings with friends on a regular basis. My daughter deserves her own life filled with activities that are beneficial to her development. Thus, I refuse to make her my "accessory". So when do I go out you ask? Often times, I am heading out my door to see my friends in the late evening.Thankfully, my mother often will stay the night at Jane and I's house in order to give me the opportunity to live a "normal life". Forever grateful I am for this. Otherwise, I do sometimes have babysitting during the day, but I will admit the most of my socializing occurs at night.
Nothing can replace sleep, but coffee can do it's best. I love coffee.- Kelley O'Hara
Although I love going out and spending time with friends late into the night and early morning hours, it physical destroys me. But if you're a teen mother or someone who has no time during the day to socialize, you will know that feeling mentally alone is harder to bear than being physically drained. So i continue my late night ventures with friends- despite the fact that Jane wakes up everyday between 5:30am & 6:30am. Visiting the local pier, going out to restaurants late, hanging around our homes. It's what keeps me centered, gives me some feeling left of the "teenage freedom" I had given up the summer of '17. And with the majority of my friends leaving for college come this fall, I'm not willing to trade in my lack of sleep.
So Realistically, How Much Sleep Are We Talking?
To be quite honest the amount of sleep I get depends on the night. If I go out with friends I typically come home around 2:00am, asleep by 2:30am and up by 6:00am. But I do it to myself- it's a choice. Sure, the next day may be far more challenging, but I do have parental support and if i really needed help, they would be there to assist me. However, obviously my schedule will be far different when I start working full-time in a few weeks. Perhaps then my sleep will be average, not deprived. This will not last forever, similar to how Jane will not be waking up so dreadfully early forever (hopefully). No regrets-in life you do what you have to do.

Okay, the idea of this blog was to share with you our glamping experiences as we trot around the globe so I'm cheating slightly here. Strickly speaking the Urban Oasis isn't a glampsite at all. However, our stay here in midtown Manhattan deserved a mention. This relaxed loft style hostel was the perfect bolt hole in the city close to all must dos and in a good location to explore both downtown & uptown. The clean interior in the communal space creates a chic look, but manages to still be comfortable with giant bean bags placed for guests to jump into after a busy day walking the city. We've walked miles so I feel less guilty about each dining experience which has felt like an episode of man vs food - Breakfast at Katz deli nearly finished us both! We've eaten some incredible meals over the past few days and discovered Brussels sprouts are going through a renaissance trending as a bar snack or side on lots of menus. We've drank cocktails at some excellent watering-holes Smith & Mills being the best and adventured across the city soaking up the atmosphere and seeing the sites.
For those who want to see what we've been up too, here are some snappy snap snaps...

Alternative Energy Sources
Tidal Energy – An Alternative Energy Source
Alternative energy – energy, as solar, wind, or nuclear energy, that can replace or supplement traditional fossil-fuel sources, as coal, oil, and natural gas. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alternative+energy
There are many alternative energy sources available to us today. The next time you are out driving and you pass a body of water, try to imagine the potential energy that is stored in it. When you are visiting the beach and you are walking along the shoreline looking for seashells, think about how much electricity could be produced with the water that is moving between your toes. The alternative energy source that we will focus on is tidal energy.
Tidal energy is the use of the sun and moon's gravitational force. Some of the advantages of tidal energy are that it does not require any fuel, it is clean and it is renewable. It is also more predictable than wind energy and solar power. The stronger the tide is, the greater the electricity. However, there are a few disadvantages. Sometimes it can alter the ecosystem by changing the natural flow of the water. As long as proper measures are taken, this wouldn't pose a great risk.
Tidal energy is a form of low-head hydroelectricity. The great thing about tidal energy is that the tides rise and fall in a consistent pattern. It is also a free alternative energy source once the system is built. Tidal energy is also a great alternative energy source as far as the environment is concerned. It produces no greenhouse gases. It may even protect the coastlines against storms that produce high tides. It could very well protect the houses that are at risk of being flooded because of those high tides.
There are three types of tidal energy. The first one is tidal stream systems. These systems usekinetic energy of moving water to power turbines. The second one is barrages. The use potential energy and they are basically dams across the full width of a tidal estuary. The third is tidal lagoons. These are constructed as self contained structures. These can be configured to generate continuously.
At the moment tidal energy may be more expensive than any other alternative energy source or conventional energy source. The more it is used, the less it could cost. There will always be access to tidal energy because there will always be bodies of water. It would be an alternative resource that you wouldn't have to worry about losing. As long as we protect the water and don't pollute it with other things, we could benefit from this greatly.
