Metropolitan Launches Its Advertising and Outreach Campaign
A weekly newsletter by and for Metropolitan employees
July 9, 2018
Water Conservation,
365 Days a Year
Conservation. Every Day.
That's the goal of Metropolitan's new water conservation advertising campaign that officially launches today, July 9.
Using '365' as a call to action, it will help encourage Southern Californians to save water each and every day.
The campaign focuses on changes we can make indoors and outside, including Metropolitan's new landscape transformation program that will once again provide rebates for turf removal. Here's a preview of the campaign.
Link to video
The campaign will be seen on hundreds of billboards, buses and trains, social media, and features a new television commercial from an award-winning director. Watch the commercial
Later this summer, we will introduce programs with the LA Dodgers and special community events. And local street artists will get in on the act by bringing their creativity and unique vision to original urban artwork that promotes water conservation.
The campaign will be in six languages – English, Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese - and a revamped
website is brimming with info about rebates, native plants and how-to videos.
Metropolitan has long been a leader when to comes to inspiring Southern Californians to save water. Our new ad campaign will help us all do even more, every day. 365.
Met at the Movies: Collateral Damage
This is the second in a three-part series about filming at Metropolitan facilities. The next story will run in August.
"Can we drive a motorcycle down your tunnels?" This was the request
Dave Yagers
, WSO Team Manager received from a Hollywood production company one day in the late 1990's. Another large water agency had denied the company a similar request and the location scouts were desperate for an authentic tunnel location.
Even though the request seemed ridiculous,
didn't rush to say no, especially after learning that none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger would be in the film. He set up a meeting to discuss. After much negotiation and agreement by the production company to pay six-figures for the opportunity to use the tunnels at Jensen under strict safety conditions, a deal was made.
The film was
Collateral Damage
and the scene (watch it
was a particularly intense one at the climax of the film in which Arnold defeats the terrorists who killed his family. As the villains race through an underground tunnel on a motorcycle, Arnold takes an ax and punctures a gas line. The rest is movie history.
"He had his own gym on set," recalls
, who was responsible for driving the star in a golf cart from one end of the tunnel to the other. Even though Schwarzenegger was focused on his scenes and not particularly talkative, he did appreciate
help and gave him an autographed photo (shown at the top of this story).
Learning About Water: Employee Inspection Trips
For many years before
Jose Lozano
worked at Metropolitan, he would pass the Jensen Water Treatment Plant on his way to his job at Advanced Bionics on San Fernando Road. One day, he got curious and did some research about Met and the facility.
That research paid off and in 2007,
joined the Metropolitan family. Today he works as an Instrumental and Control Technician, maintaining all of the instrumentation at the treatment plant. He calibrates and maintains meters from Castaic Lake to the Palos Verdes Reservoir, and Manhattan Beach all the way to La Mirada.
Due to his heavy workload and busy schedule,
didn't think he had the time to attend one of CRA inspection trips for employees. But after much encouragement from his co-workers, he attended one of the trips this past spring. "We get so caught up in our day-to-day work, we can forget that we all contribute to the success of this great organization," he admits.
Whether it's admiring the architecture at the Whitsett Intake pumping plant, touring Weymouth or driving across DVL's West Dam, the trip connects employees and their work to those who contributed to the construction and operations of one of the greatest water projects of its time – the Colorado River Aqueduct and Metropolitan's distribution and delivery system.
said during the tour he "felt an overwhelming pride to be part of Metropolitan's legacy and history."

Old Containers Given New Purpose at Tire Shop
Alameda is a mecca to the architectural historian, featuring homes and commercial structures spanning most major architectural movements since the mid-1800s.
The city recently became home to a property representing the next bold leap in construction — container architecture.
The new Big Discount Tire Pros shop incorporates 21 previously used shipping containers into its design. The company moved here from its former facility on Park Street, a historic brick-veneer structure dating back to the 1950s.
Container architecture is a sensible form of construction due to a shipping container's inherent strength, wide availability and relatively low costs compared to building with traditional materials. According to ArchDaily.com, containers can be likened to Lego blocks — they can be stacked and expanded in any number of combinations, to suit whatever the need of the project.
Container architecture is also sustainable, as it uses containers that would otherwise be laying idle in a scrapyard. In the Bay Area, there is immediate concern for mitigating container buildup. Significantly more goods travel between China and the U.S. than vice versa. It is not economical nor physically safe, in some cases, to carry back the empty containers, and freighters are eager to sell them off. Throughout Oakland (except the Hills), it is a familiar sight to see such containers, stacked and rusting in storage yards awaiting potential buyers.
It is through this pipeline that Big Discount acquired the necessary containers for its facility. According to owner Guido Bertoli, the containers were purchased from Transport Products Unlimited (TPU), a firm specializing in adapting used containers to habitable standards. TPU, in turn, purchases the unprocessed containers from the shipping companies themselves.
Bertoli made sure to primarily use "one-trippers," containers that made only a single journey before being sold to TPU. Such containers don't have dents or weathering, remaining aesthetically pleasing to customers, according to Bertoli.
Big Discount has the honor of being Alameda's first large container-based structure, and could set a valuable precedent for the city's future. "The city didn't have a prior experience with overseeing a container project, and now they do," said Bertoli. "It was a patient process waiting for all the permits."
Bertoli was not the first, however, to envision containers used in Alameda. A prior design proposal for the Alameda Gateway project on Park Street called for shipping containers, before getting nixed in 2015. Bertoli commissioned the same architecture firm charged with the Gateway proposal — Timbre Architects — to design his tire garage.
The Big Discount garage design aimed to provide a modern experience for the customer,leaving history intact. The new design retains the corrugated steel exterior of the original warehouse, with the shipping containers visible only after stepping foot inside the building. Built as a distribution warehouse for U.S. Steel in the 1930s, it has since been through multiple owners.
Using containers is a fitting tribute to Alameda's history. Alameda is sacred to the development of containerization and the rapid globalization such commerce entails. Fittingly at the Encinal Terminals in 1959, the Matson Navigation Company erected the world's first A-frame gantry crane — the structure that allowed for efficiently moving containers from trains and trucks to ships.

Marcus Rashford has already followed in the footsteps of Duncan Edwards, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham.
But if he is selected by Jose Mourinho to face Tottenham this weekend, it will be a significant milestone for the Manchester United academy that produced them.
A key part of Mourinho's squad at just 19, it is likely Rashford will start at Old Trafford on Saturday. And if he does, it will extend a record the club are particularly proud of beyond 80 years.
Should Mourinho pick Rashford or Jesse Lingard -- or Scott McTominay or Axel Tuanzebe, for that matter -- it will be 3,883 consecutive games that a United manager has selected a youth team graduate in their match-day squad.
It is a run that started on Oct. 30, 1937 -- the 80th anniversary falls on Monday, the day before United face Benfica in the Champions League -- when Tom Manley and Jackie Wassall played in a 1-0 defeat to Fulham.
Rashford, Lingard, McTominay and Tuanzebe are just the latest to pick up the baton.
To put it into context, Everton also have an impressive run of promoting youth team graduates. After United, it is the longest in the Premier League standing at more than 1,000 games over 21 years.
For the round of Premier League matches on the last weekend in August, six teams -- Bournemouth, Burnley, Manchester City, Stoke, Swansea and Watford -- did not include a youth team graduate at all. United beat Leicester 2-0 thanks, in part, to a goal from Rashford.
The record is detailed in Sons of United, a chronicle of United's youth team written by Steve Hobin and Tony Park.
Greater movement of young players between different clubs and countries means there are strict criteria about what constitutes a youth team graduate.
They have to join United before they turn 18, without playing first team football elsewhere, and play for the club's junior teams as part of their development.
It means players such as Lee Sharpe, who played for Torquay before moving to Old Trafford, and Regan Poole, who played first team football for Newport, do not count.
"I use these three criteria as we can hardly claim that we developed the player if they were virtually adults when they joined, had already played first team football somewhere else or went straight into our first team without playing for our academy in some capacity," Park said.
The question, though, is why is it important?
United have the wealth to compete for players with the biggest clubs in the world. It is, after all, easier to spot a Champions League winner at age 25 than at age 15.
After revolutionising the youth setup following his arrival from Aberdeen in 1986, Sir Alex Ferguson won the Champions League in 1999 with four former youth players in his team and another two on the bench.
But Ferguson, and the academy staff at Carrington, will tell you it is about more than just trophies.
"People like Marcus and Jesse, people who know the system, they have to carry the club now," said Nicky Butt, himself a youth team graduate, Champions League winner in 1999 and now head of the academy.
"These players who come in for a lot of money might not know the club or the environment or the area, so it's up to those guys to incorporate them into United and instill those beliefs," Butt added.
"They need to be introducing them to Kath on reception [at Carrington], letting them know how long she's been here at the club.
"They need to recognise the laundry people, the canteen ladies, the chefs, the ground staff and security lads -- they're part of our family and you need to say 'good morning' to them every single day.
"When you come to United, the players are the superstars and the ones everyone wants an autograph from but, when you come into this building, we're all equal. We all have a role and, without one, we don't have a team," Butt said.
The players who have gone before continue to play a key role.
McTominay, who has been training with United since he was five, said after playing in the Carabao Cup win at Swansea on Tuesday: "When you see boys progressing and impressing in the first team, it gives the lads in the academy the motivation to keep pushing forward."
The corridors of the academy building at Carrington are covered with murals of past graduates such as Giggs, Butt and Rashford.
On the noticeboards in the dressing rooms, there is a list of 14 pieces of advice written by Gary Neville.
No.2 is: "Give 100 percent all the time. You have never arrived at Man United so you must maintain a high standard all the time, every day."
No.3 is: "Always remember why you began to play football. You loved it for its own sake and not as a means to get money, fame, girls or cars."
Neville, a Youth Cup winner, made 602 first team appearances to sit fifth on United's all-time list. The four above -- Bill Foulkes, Paul Scholes, Charlton and Giggs -- were all part of the same production line.
It's the same one Mourinho will benefit from when he picks his team to play Tottenham this weekend.
The same one United hope the manager, whoever it is, can still turn to in another 80 years' time.

Here we reveal 10 facts you might not have known about the gut:
- A 'Gut feeling' – you've probably heard the saying about having a 'gut feeling', well research has found our gut is sensitive to emotions, stress, anxiety and depression as these all have a direct effect on the digestive tract.
- Red wine is good for the gut! – some research suggests a small amount of the antioxidants found in red wine can be beneficial to the gut microbiome. (but please drink responsibly!)
- Your gut doesn't need to be cleared out – detox diets and colonic irrigation have become popular as they claim to clean out your digestive system and get rid of toxins. But they're not actually needed. Waste and toxins pass out of our bodies naturally and don't need any help!
- Gut health impacts our sleep – there's still a lot of research looking at the relationship between the gut and sleep and a correlation between the bacterial environment of your gut and poor sleep has been found. Dr Michael Mosley used Bimuno in the BBC documentary 'The Truth about Sleep' and found it had a positive effect on his sleep.
- You have 100 times more DNA in your microbiome than in the cells of your body – And the DNA in your cells and your microbiome actually talk to each other.
- Our gut does more than process food! – It's also home to trillions of bacteria, viruses & fungi known as microbial community.
- Some substances can kill our good bacteria & encourage bad bacteria to grow – Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, sugar, artificial food colouring, high fat-low fibre foods, processed foods, fizzy drinks, unhealthy oild and pesticides can all impact your gut bacteria. In fact- one course of antibiotics can disrupt your gut flora for up to a year.
- Our second brain – scientists have nicknamed the gut's nervous system our 'second brain' as the nervous system of the gut is able to regulate itself without brain interaction.
- Your gut houses 70% of the cells that make up your immune system.
- Good gut foods include artichokes, broccoli, bananas, blueberries, beans, onion, garlic, nuts & wholegrain foods – A healthy balanced diet, rich in fibre can help achieve an optimally balanced gut but most of us aren't eating the right foods and in the quantity required to achieve this. A high fibre food supplement such as Bimuno can feed good gut bacteria and help bring this gap.
Bimuno is scientifically proven to increase levels of bifidobacteria in just 7 days*.
*Scientific data shows that daily use of Bimuno® increases gut bifidobacteria levels within 7 days, results may vary.

The SCTF of ANZ provides a variety of programs. Our program cycle can extend over several years ie we re-run programs but not every year. The program that is central to our course structure is the Fundamentals program. This is a multi-day program designed to present the key theory developed by Dr Sutherland, the key techniques as well as discussion of research, practice strategies, questions and answers. The 1:4 tutor to student ratio allows the Fundamentals program to set the level at the student. Thus the Fundamentals caters for those who are new through to those who are doing their second, third or further refresher.
The other central program is the BLT: Balanced Ligamentous Technique. Dr Sutherland was keen to express that his concepts were not limited to the head. Hence the title you may see as Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) expressing this idea that his concepts were relevant to the whole body, which is consistent with osteopathic principles. The two-day BLT programs focus on techniques to the extremities and spine. There are two BLT programs currently with each having a different focus to ensure coverage of the whole body.
As well as the above, the SCTF of ANZ runs programs in the paediatric and children area, gait, trauma, the face and specific topic areas such as embryology and anatomy. Please note that SCTF of ANZ practical courses have limited numbers to maintain the Faculty-Student ratio. We advise that registrants book early to avoid disappointment.
The SCTF of ANZ runs a training program for all faculty. The initial faculty who set up the SCTF of ANZ travelled to the USA and UK to study with osteopaths to skill up for teaching Dr Sutherland's work. Dr Anne Wales ran study groups in the USA that foundation faculty members studied with. Following on from this process the SCTF of ANZ maintains an Assistant Tutor (AT) program for those who wish to become tutors and further their knowledge in this area. This means that all SCTF of ANZ faculty have undergone extensive training and review to ensure that their skills and knowledge are current and appropriate for the courses they are teaching.
Online resources
The SCTF of ANZ maintains on online learning portal – The Portal. This contains resources to support our face-to-face programs, a discussion area to support discussion around research and relevant learning for practice. There are also self-study programs to support anatomy and clinical practice. The Portal is available with a membership click here to see the front page.
If you would like to know more about our courses we recommend reviewing the relevant courses page for a description and you can express your interest via email to email@example.com and we will send you further information as it becomes available.

Throughout college, my brief stint at a conservatory, and my various apprentice programs, "making it" pervaded my thoughts and goals and became an obsession. I ambitiously tried to do anything I could to get out of school and into the working world, and I looked at any success that I had as a sign that I was going to "make it". I fantasized about winning competition after competition, making my debuts at the worlds biggest opera houses, giving recitals in the most famous concert halls, the thunderous applause that would greet me at those performances, the photo shoots for my album covers, and the sense of coolness I would feel at having "made it".
All the while, I would moan constantly at the opportunities that weren't offered to me and complain that the opportunities that I did have were not good enough, were not what I wanted, were not what I deserved. I would look at the success of others and jealously wonder how they had managed to achieve their accomplishments. My ex-boyfriend, Luiz, once pointed out to me that it never seemed like anything was enough. He noted that even being in the Houston Grand Opera Studio (where I was at the time of this conversation – where I had the opportunities to share the stage with some of the most famous and accomplished singers of our time as well as get free lessons, coachings, career advice, language lessons, etc.) was not enough for me. I bristled with anger when he told me this, furious that he could see so easily through to my unbridled, all-consuming, youthful ambition and my spoiled sense of entitlement.
The strange thing was that my fantasies and ambitions were never specific. When fantasizing about singing in the greatest opera houses of the world, I never thought about which roles I would sing. When dreaming of photo shoots for my album covers, I never had any idea about what music would have been recorded on those CDs. I never knew what I would program for my dreamed-of recital tours around the globe. Music, the core essence of what we do, was mysteriously absent from my fantasies.
The summer before my second year in the HGO Studio, about to begin rehearsals for my first Barber of Seville at Wolf Trap, I began to notice the adverse affects of my ambition on my soul. Warming up before our first rehearsal with the conductor, I found myself panicking that I wasn't good enough. I became certain that everyone would hate my singing and even had nightmares about being fired. I worried that this was going to be a disaster and that my career would never recover.
Something inside me snapped, and I realized that I absolutely could not live the rest of my life like that.
So, I picked up the copy of The Artist's Way that the ex-boyfriend had given me earlier that year, found a journal to do morning pages in, and resolved myself to finding a therapist the minute I got back to
I discovered that gratitude and humility were important aspects to life as a musician and a performer. I discovered that my love of and passion for music had been usurped by ambition and "career" aspirations. My desires began to change and become more specific. I stopped fantasizing about a vague future and became more focused on the details of the present. I became more focused on doing the best work I could possibly do and constantly trying to improve as opposed to being the "best"(whatever I imagined that was) and comparing myself to other people. Competitors became colleagues, and I discovered that it is not the flashy result or performance that is important, but the substance of the work and the journey to get there. I discovered that in reality, there is no "making it" or "getting there" – there is only the going.
As much as I hated to admit it, I found that I had sort of stumbled into life as a musician. I liked music, first as a violinist in my youth, and then as a singer in my teenage years into college. Looking back, I realize I was responding to a calling that I had to answer. But by blindly following that call, I never bothered to ask myself why I was pursuing the path I had chosen. I decided it was what I wanted to do without a single thought as to why, and I naïvely thought I was entitled to a successful career doing it.
Speaking with Jeremy last night, the differences between his path and mine as professional musicians were interesting to me. His attitude is inspiring to me, especially in the fact that it has always been present in his work ethic. He pointed out to me last night that regardless of whether he is playing for a choir of junior high students, playing for a bevy of young violists trying to learn how to deal with their instruments, coaching professional singers, or playing a rehearsal at a great opera company that he always chooses to try play musically and with inspiration in the hopes that whoever he is making music with will respond in kind, and be that much better, enjoy the experience that much more, and come that much closer to discovering that extra level of beauty, technical proficiency, or whatever truth it is they are after. "Isn't that why we are here? Isn't that why we do this?" he asked me. Listening to him talk, I agreed, wishing that I had realized that when I started on this path.
Jeremy's primary goal has always been to be able to make a living as a musician. He always has known that it is an earned blessing to be able to call music our vocation and to be able to support ourselves from this work. As a result, every milestone he has reached and every accomplishment he has achieved are real privileges to him and opportunities to be savored. It also shows in his fierce commitment and care for the work, which is something I marvel at. It was never something I realized until I was far into my training, and I must say that I am glad that I can see it now. It allows me to do this and find real happiness and fulfillment as I explore the paths that this profession opens for me.

I first encountered Rahul Cherian as a quiet voice of reason in the midst of a vitriolic e-mail battle during the deliberations on the new disability bill being debated at the time here in India. Tempers were running high, accusations were being hurled and there was definitely more heat than light. Email chains ran in the hundreds, reputations were in shreds and it took courage and nerve to wade in and venture an opinion.
Rahul didn't hesitate. Respectfully, calmly, with humor and authority, he would bring a lawyer's mind to the questions being debated. I came to look forward to hearing what he had to say on whatever was the topic of the day, always sure that it would be something with sense, intelligence and compassion.
One day, after making a timid comment of my own, I got a call from Rahul. It felt like destiny. I had gone in to my office on a holiday just to pick up some papers I had forgotten and the phone rang.
Imagine my surprise to find that it was Rahul Cherian on the line. THE Rahul Cherian. He had liked what I'd said and sensed the existence of a kindred spirit.
We became email friends. I knew nothing more about him than his work. I didn't know he had a disability himself. I didn't know about his family, his education or his life. All I knew was that he was passionately committed to using the law as a tool for social change. All I knew was that he worked tirelessly (and often thanklessly – he told me, just weeks before he died, that he had lost track of the number of donors who had turned Inclusive Planet's funding requests down, saying its work was too nebulous, too hard to quantify) to advance the cause of people with disability.
He made connections constantly: access to civil aviation by physically impaired people, early intervention in Kerala, the rights of people with disability to use the internet, public libraries and people with special needs – he was a force of nature. He simply never stopped. He wrote briefs, shared information, gathered opinions and broke laws down so that lay people could understand them. He was a walking, talking resource centre.
And now he is gone. Rahul passed away this morning in Goa – where he had gone with his family for a brief holiday – from septicemia. His death is a body blow to the disability movement in India, a terrible loss to all of us who believe as he did in the rights of people with disability to information, education, access and justice.
All we can do now is to honor his memory by continuing the work he was so passionately committed to. As the tributes continue to pour in, let's remember that all he would have wanted is for his work to be completed. Let's carry it on.
Rahul: we will remember. We will build that Inclusive Planet you dreamed of. We are still here. Let that be your legacy.

Hi all, we've arrived again at a new edition of Sunday Sevens, started by the lovely Natalie over at Threads and Bobbins. Why not take a peek at her blog and check out the "rules" for the Sevens….you might want to join us. It's fun and easy – no pressure!
Construction Progress
Since construction is the main thing going on around our household, this post will contain too many bathroom photos. The little under-the-stairs bathroom will be completed in less than two weeks, so you'll soon see the finished room….and then we're done!
Shower stall and toilet areas are framed. The shower is dark here because it is coated in dark red water proofing. The little brick patch is the back of to-be built-in shelves, honoring the old house by exposing the decommissioned kitchen chimney.
Old, tiny closet to remain undisturbed (except for the floor and some paint).
This newly uncovered corner (space stolen from a teeny tiny shelf closet in the bedroom) is where the corner sink will go. Tile work begins tomorrow, then painting, and then the fixtures can go in.
Once it's completed, we will need only to ready the bedroom. Piece of cake, don't you agree?
While our little crew works (3, 2, or 1 depending on the day), I hide out upstairs with a book – sometimes reading, sometimes watching Cat TV with Frieda.
Motto of the week
This is a card I've just sent out. Inside says:
Here's to making history on your birthday!
And here's to history-making sewing/crafting for all of you! Have a great week!

Health care social media can lead to positive ROI
For caregivers seeking to recruit patients to their practice and connect with existing patients, social media is a viable medium because of increased communication. But using social media also increases the likelihood of a positive return on investment (ROI), said Russell Faust, M.D., CMO for digital media consulting firm Anicca Media and a practicing ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgical specialist during a Physician's Practice webinar.
While social media in health care is known to raise red flags concerning security, privacy and the proliferation of data breaches, it can also produce monetary gains for providers that put effort into social platforms, such as a friendly website, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
For example, Faust pointed to the example of Robert Zaid, a family medicine practitioner at PrimeCare of Novi (Mich.), who calculated his ROI with the help of his website. Zaid uses a clinic intake form that allows him to determine the number of new patients coming to his practice each month due to his online presence, Faust said. Additionally, Zaid knows how many times a new patient returns during a one year span and also knows what the average billing code is for patients.
Although Faust refers to Zaid's website as "ugly" (in terms of layout and appearance, not navigation), Zaid's estimate of his own ROI for having the site was $125,000 annually. Additionally, only $60 was invested into the website from the start, which helps show the magnitude of ROI. The point, said Faust, is that even a "traditional marketing campaign, even the most successful" cannot be matched by social media.
To further illustrate this point, Faust added that he invests around $200 to $300 per year on his website and sees a ROI in the "thousands-percent range."
Faust also stressed that communicating with patients should occur where they spend much of their time, which is increasingly in the "digital world." Patients want to be able to see as much as possible in social media platforms and websites because of transparency, said Faust, adding that patients who can see images and positive testimonials arrive at medical facilities feeling like they already have a strong relationship.

Bailey, 75, has served as a governor representing the cinematographers branch of the Academy for 14 years. He takes over for Cheryl Boone Isaacs, a film marketing and public relations executive who served the maximum of four years as Academy president and was the first African American to hold the title. The Academy announced in June it had asked 774 artists to join its ranks this year, noting there has been an increase of 359 percent in the number of women invited to be members between 2015 and 2017. During the same time period, there has also been an increase of 331 percent in the number of people of color invited. The academy is actively trying to be more inclusive since it was criticized for having no people of color among its acting nominees at the 2015 and 2016 Oscars. Jimmy Kimmel is set to host the 90th edition of the gala on March 4.

Children in Need Fundraising at Northbourne Park School
Friday 16th November was a 'spotacular' day at Northbourne Park School as children entered into the Pudsey spirit raising money for Children In Need. While the Prep school children marked the day by holding a large fundraising cake sale, the Pre-Prep children enjoyed a spotty non-uniform day, a doughnut cake sale and a country ramble on the school grounds. Total raised was £667.76.
All the money raised goes to help children around the UK, making a difference to young lives. 2,700 projects across the UK are currently supporting disadvantaged young people, including two nearby. Dover smART project has been funded to provide arts activities for young carers, helping them to improve their emotional well-being and family relationships. Alkham Valley Community Project offers therapeutic horse-riding and related activities to disabled children.
Elizabeth Hayes, Head of Geography and Religious Studies at Northbourne Park said:
"The children have really got to into the Pudsey spirit and it's good to see that the money raised is making a real difference to young people's lives on our doorstep."
About Northbourne Park School:
Northbourne Park School is an independent co-educational day and boarding preparatory school for children aged 3 – 13 years. Northbourne Park aims to develop articulate, confident and happy children, inspiring in every child the confidence to succeed. Northbourne Park School has an excellent record of academic success supported by a renowned emphasis on developing other skills (modern languages, sport, music and leadership activities) that equip children for success later in life.
Situated in the beautiful Betteshanger estate, the school is set in more than 100 acres of parkland and woods. Close to Canterbury, Kent's ferry ports, 1hr from London and within 30 minutes of Ashford International rail station, Northbourne Park is the most convenient prep school for France and Belgium.
The school's language programme was founded in 1990. Children spend up to two years at Northbourne Park usually between the ages of 11 and 13. They can then return to their studies in their home country or may chose to stay on and progress further in the UK education system.
Thank you to Northbourne Park School for this amazing article on your Children in Need day! It's incredible to see how much you raised for such a good cause. If you want your story featured on our website, please e-mail [email protected]

Hansa Rostock fans throw fish at Carl Zeiss Jena supporters
Hansa Rostock made the 450km trip south to face Carl Zeiss Jena in the German third tier on Sunday afternoon and, as guests, made sure to bring a fitting gift from the Baltic coast down with them.
Indeed, the Hansa fans saw fit to deliver their present during the match, hurling handfuls of fish at their opposing supporters on the terraces at the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld stadium.
The Hansa fans were heard chanted "We brought something for you: Fish, fish, fish!" which is a variation of the classic "we brought something for you: Hate, hate, hate" chant beloved and regularly sung by travelling German fans.
CZ Jena released a statement after the match (which they won 1-0) to assure Hansa that the fish barrage had been taken in good spirits.
"Nobody got hurt, and that surely wasn't the intention after all. Let's not get carried away even though throwing dead animals isn't all that tasty." the club wrote on the Liga3 Online website.
However, it's unlikely that the DFB will be as flippant, with reports that the authorities are considering launching an investigation into the incident.
Chris covers the funny side of the game for ESPN FC in the Toe Poke blog.

I had the pleasure of experiencing @janetjackson's #Metamorphosis Las Vegas Residency on Wednesday, 7/24. #JanetJackson wore me out! Give her her things. JANET is the Greatest Entertainer Ever. PERIOD. Argue with a mirror. I was out of my seat for the duration of the show and the hits kept coming and coming and coming. This was an awesomely crafted show. Song selections (perfect). Light design (eye-popping), set design (innovative), sound (crisp), band (funky) and those dern dancers have got to be the THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! Top notch! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the show from start to finish. Janet was, has been and will always be THE ONE, THAT ONE! I'm so happy for and proud of her. After all this time, she continues to raise the bar and her creativity and passion for performing is unmatched. I've been riding with Janet since "Say You Do" and this car isn't running out of gas any time soon. Thank you Janet for years of excellency and consistency. #metamorphosisvegas
