Who should attend?
Key Stage 1 Teachers or Leaders and English Subject Leaders.
What you will learn:
This course has been specially tailored to the needs of KS1 learners by our expert teaching team, and covers the following key areas:
- How to choose and use texts to enrich vocabulary and inspire opportunities for writing.
- How to identify the steps into writing fluency for children and support all children to make progress.
- How to teach children to use and apply phonics in context of rich and purposeful writing experiences across a range of genres.
What participants will receive?
All of our writing courses include 1 high quality text with associated detailed planning to allow teachers to implement course ideas and strategies immediately in the classroom.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will strengthen their knowledge of how to support children at the early stages of writing fluency. Teachers will explore how to develop key knowledge and skills to support children to become confident in both transcriptional and compositional aspects of writing.

A globally viral meme making my coronary heart zing over current years is the "am i able to talk to the manager?" one, wherein a era X white woman known as Karen escalates a minor consumer gripe to the very best level, from below a heaving two-tone uneven bob. The hair is an try and stay younger, however seems to were dyed and styled with the aid of ebullient badgers. More of Karen later.
Memes were once simply human beings "dicking approximately on the internet", yet at the moment are one of the Earth's maximum precious styles of communication. They distil into a single picture, or loop of video, an obscure yet nonetheless universally understood condition, frequently related to emotions that actual human words can't pretty nail.
For this reason a blinking blond guy channels the incredulity on studying a credit score card bill. Donald Glover brings pizza cheerfully lower back into a room this is now on fireplace. A dachshund with a big ugly shoe on its head tells people, "It's referred to as fashion, Brenda, look it up." Gen X "Karen" regarded back in 2014, trying to speak to the supervisor. To my thoughts, this meme celebrated the chagrin of thousands and thousands, nay, billions of millennial and era Y frontline provider-industry workers, for whom the scourge of their lives changed into a 45-12 months-vintage woman who would possibly have waited more than 17 mins to return a defective five-blade spiralizer because their keep become understaffed.
Whilst Karen doubts the sincerity of the server's apology, she goes into a few kind of pink-mist meltdown. Later, she will be able to cry in her VW up! In the vehicle park, listening to Michael Bublé – however right now, she's on fireplace. The altercation may take vicinity through a name centre, in a eating place or at the gymnasium. Basically, anywhere that human beings paintings doing jobs they don't revel in, incomes wages that won't buy houses, rubbing up towards older ladies fighting spiralling oestrogen, a maze-like diary of thankless bloody chores and the underlying emotion that they're as mad as hell and now not going to take this any extra.
I am getting this. On numerous events, Je suis Karen. And quickening like the quickening spring, you vibrant younger component will in the future emerge as Karen, too. Sure, you along with your upright titties who, right now, could simply shrug meaningfully at, say, losing 7am-6pm expecting a refrigerator transport (from a children on £7.Sixty seven consistent with hour), most effective to have it cancelled on a few trumped-up balderdash. Oh, no. Not me, not Karen. All collectively now, clean throats, full hearts: "Caaaaaaaaan I talk to the maaaaaanager?"
On the floor, the Karen meme can be about clashing generations: the useless Ys, the grumpy Xs, the egocentric boomers and, of path, the millennials, who're the move-to punchbag with regards to place of business fecklessness (no matter a few now being 36 years antique, with greying hair and teenage youngsters). However for me, the more interesting underbelly factors to the critical brokenness of current existence: the corporate greed that fostered an I-want-It-Now tradition, and a low-paid, uninspired, gig economic system. Longer days, busier lives, more uncertainty, less joy, greater combating with Karen. The unstoppable force of world consumerism, which results in 22-year-olds running around an Amazon fulfilment centre, and an immovable mass of knackered gen-X ladies managing three jobs, unwell parents and now a lacking in which's Wally? Outfit on Amazon high one-hour particular delivery, the night earlier than global ebook Day.
Karen, consistent with the meme, is ostensibly woman and white – however is everyone these days above entering Deep Karen Mode? Has your Deliveroo dinner been left in a hedge? Did your Uber motive force move awol then take his £6 for the problem? Has your wifi been gambling up for a week, and do the helpline team of workers seem unbothered? Can you experience a storm a-brewing? Is it time to apply that special, sharp-elbowed voice? That voice so a lot of us learned from our mothers, commonly in Marks & Spencer in 1983, looking them go back substandard objects, with out a receipt, powered simplest by using strong, guns-grade older-woman ire. Is it time to talk to the manager?
Of path, lengthy after the problem has been settled, money back or an apology issued, I'm frequently reminded that no person involved turned into a winner. We are all simply pawns in a larger, complex game.
Closing week I did communicate to the supervisor, who says my fridge is sincerely coming subsequent Tuesday and he will refund the cost of the previous non-delivery. I plan to stay in all day, channelling Zen-like empathy, being attentive to my Calm App, remembering that my item is being introduced at breakneck speed by a person who feasibly has a back damage from turning in fridges. A person who can also have worked until 10pm yesterday, and with out holiday for months, and who won't arrive that day, if ever. Someone who is also a person. My perishable items may be wilting, however for now, i'm staying chilled.


text: Conformity is about the struggle between reality and ideality when people are facing the question: What do you do for living? Several years ago, I chose to be an artist because one of my dream is to do the thing that I love for my entire life. As I am growing up, I begin to think more realistically, and I realize that making this dream come true is going to be a great challenge. My peers back in China choose Business, Engineering or the other "best-paying" college majors, so I turn into a weirdo whose future is "undefined". Even though in the art community, there are fallacies such as: It will be easier to get a job if you are majoring in design than in finearts. All these theories are made up by the conformists who are afraid of being different and taking risks. It is easy to trend blindly and turn into mainstream when living under the anxiety of money making. It is important to hold the faith because within this competitive society, a large group of people are on the edge of being drifted with the current. Remaining the faith can be anxious, risk-taking and lonely, but at least I won't be regretful because I keep the promise to myself.

I don't know how many of you had the pleasure of watching a game at 'America's Baseball Palace' Comiskey Park, but it was the home of some of my most vivid childhood memories. This slideshow give you a great idea of what it was like.
For a kid, Comiskey was the biggest playground you can find. The concrete concourses seemed to go forever, and unlike today's ballparks, they were mostly empty. People actually watched the game back then. You could take a set of winding metal ramps to the exploding scoreboard and get a mind-blowing panoramic view of the whole ballpark. I was up there once and I looked down to see Nolan Ryan staring up at me. "How'd you get up there?" The roof top of both outfield decks was in play, and I saw the one and only Harold Baines put one over the left field wall in '86.
The Chicago White Sox were not very good in those years, but it goes to show that with baseball wins and losses don't really matter. It's the memories of all those lazy summer afternoons and evenings basking in the warm glow of men playing out a boy's dream.

I'm supplied by an independent gas transporter (IGT), can I still switch?
Yes, you can still switch, though some smaller suppliers may not take you on.
Previously you had to pay £30-£70 more on top of any comparison quote, as the gas provider must pay both National Grid and the IGT to supply gas to your house. This charge was passed directly on to you. But, now the big six energy providers (as well as most smaller providers) don't charge extra.
Independent gas transporters (IGTs) are often used by constructors instead of National Grid in new-build properties as IGTs charge less to fit pipes. One in twenty people are supplied by IGTs instead of National Grid.

Et voila! Serve up as a treat at your Hallowe'en party. Your guests will have fun with them...
Peanut Butter Eyeballs
Hallowe'en is one of the reasons I love this time of year so much. Every year my friends and I get dressed up and have a good old fashioned spooky party. Except this year I've had to cancel. Gordon and I have just booked a trip to Paris for New Year (yay!!) so I'll be spending the next few months saving as much as possible whilst preparing for Christmas at the same time! Which means I can't afford a new costume/night out. BUT, just because I'm not dressing up, doesn't mean I can't still reap the benefits of Hallowe'en, right?
Introducing the Peanut Butter Eyeball...
My sister actually helped me make these for last year's Hallowe'en party, so technically I ripped it off of her. But she ripped it off of my Mum's "peanut butter bomb" recipe ;)
You will need:
2oz Margarine (melted)
Half a jar of Peanut Butter
1-2 cups of cornflakes (I used Frosties cause I already had them)
1 cup icing sugar
8 squares of white cooking chocolate
1 tube of smarties
& a red icing pen
It's so easy you could practically make them with your eyes shut [insert eyeball joke here] - Just mix together the butter, icing sugar, cornflakes and peanut butter, then roll the mixture into balls.
Melt the chocolate (I did mine in the microwave but be careful doing this - check it & stir every 10 seconds!) and then roll your balls *snigger* in the chocolate until they're completely covered. You will get messy but thats the fun part! Pop a smartie in each one as the pupil. Or iris? I really should know this shit...
Once you've done this for all of them you can pop them in the fridge to set. Don't leave them too long though or they'll stick to the plate and fall apart when you try to take them off - I found this out the hard way! Anyway, simply use your red icing pen to draw on veins, thus making them creepy but delicious bloodshot eyeballs!
Et voila! Serve up as a treat at your Hallowe'en party. Your guests will have fun with them...
or if, like me, you're staying in this year - enjoy with a cup of tea and your favourite scary movie!

Ideally, the subject of this blog would have been a Backstreet Boys lyric, but I couldn't decide which one it should be. So insert your own BSB lyric there. KTBSPA.
I'm at the Stearns house in Anaheim, getting ready to go pick up Anthony and Adam and hang out with them. Anaheim is really pretty, quite a change from the Covina area, which I think is really ugly.
Check it:
- This church killed their youth group. Thoughts? I love it, for so many reasons I'll spare you. I tend to get a little wordy.
- I finally watched the MTV VMA's. Much to my dismay, one of my favorite little boys did not actually sing his performance of my favorite song. However, I re-watched it anyway. I watched some of my favorite live performances of his and was relieved to remember that he is okay to sing live. Favorites like this one. oh and this one. okay but especially this one.
- Kanye West's performance broke my heart. In case you've missed it, I love Kanye West and I think he deserves some grace. Grace should never be easy.
- Do you remember when I wrote an open letter to Krystin Behannon? She did the same for me.
- Everybody needs to click here and buy that cd. As if you needed more reason than my word, watch some of Brandon's videos. Emily and I do quite frequently.
Until next time.

Download the .pdf. Australia currently uses 18th century voting - paper ballots filled in with a pencil. That however has given us the best democracy in the world for 200 years! I do not think anyone would suggest that any election ever has been stolen from the people in this country by voting irregularity. By lying politicians yes, solutions for that one are most welcome.
However the cost of doing things this way is getting prohibitive, and the logistics are such that errors are creeping in. It really is not good enough that the result of Government took 2 weeks, and the result of the senate fully a month.
So we do need electronic voting.
The problem with electronic voting is this worrying thing we are seeing in the USA where reports are made of machines coming with the result pre-programmed, or of a machine malfunctioning and spitting out the result before the election. Contracts are being awarded to companies owned by the Billionaires that run the world, what could go wrong with that?
The answer is simple, electronic voting with an audit trail that does not identify the voter. This can be achieved by simply using a voting machine that is currently available as a point of sale device - an A4 tablet with printer attached, and connected to a network hub and then the Electoral Commission computer. Votes can then be announced soon after polls close in the west.
Audit Trail
- Each vote is identified with a random 6 character alpha code, providing 308 million combinations;
- Each voter receives a voting slip with that number and details of when and where the vote was placed;
- Voters can log on to the AEC website, key in the number and see how they voted - to make sure their vote was not changed;
- In case of the person being mistaken about how they voted, the vote is encoded in a barcode at the bottom of the slip using an encoding that is available to someone we trust like the Privacy Foundation.
Hash Bar Code
The hash barcode is the extra layer of proof. A voter who sees a different vote on the screen than they recall can take the slip to the AEC and ask them to print the vote off the barcode, then pull the vote out of the computer off the voting reference and compare. If there is an irregularity then we have date, time, machine and intended vote to look into who cheated and also ensure the correct vote is recorded.
Senate and House of Reps
Separate slips would be generated for each as each would be a separate voting action. The size of the Senate poll may require a full sized screen not tablet, these things come in different sizes so running a test vote somewhere will sort out size -vs- useability issues.
Additional Candidate Data
An electronic system would allow for say an information button next to each candidate that brings up a lighbox with a 100 word precis of their policy for proper candidate identification. Photos are possible but worth a conversation - I would think that would encourage cult of personality over policy based voting.
Programmed How to Votes
If you want to vote for a candidate you should be able to just click the link next to their name that prefills your ballot with their preferred voting option. Then you can manually scroll through and change it.
We get to see our preference allocation
Your vote is tagged with a unique code that can stay through the preference allocation process. That means you can log in after the result is declared and see where your vote wound up. Backroom preference deals will be much discussed when people realise their vote for a supposed green party wound up getting a Liberal senator elected. Or whatever, just an example.
There were 3400 polling stations in the 2013 election. We will need around 120,000 machines at a cost of $1000 per machine with supporting infrastructure. Total cost = $125 million. Programming it of course is something else. We know the Obamacare website cost $700 million, however 2 Harvard Students programmed out that same website in their garage in one weekend for free. So there are 2 questions here, how much should it cost and how much will it cost.
Note the 2016 election is expected to cost $250 million, and these machines should last 2 Federal, 2 State and 2 Local elections (5 - 6 years) meaning the cost per election is $20 million. The saving in post election counting should be significant, let alone of course the benefit of accurate and immediate results.
Why 308 million combinations?
Journalists are going to try and pick the result by hitting the AEC website and trying random combinations. This gives them 30 bad tries for 1 good guess (on average). If we limit the number of tries to 10 then the result should remain secure. Some additional security to prevent hackers using rotating ips and number generators would be necessary. Remember though all they are doing is guessing the result not changing it.

Whenever I find myself feeling down or in a bad mood, I challenge myself to create something beautiful. Sometimes it can be a pretty place setting like this one. Other times it can be spending time on a hobby or a project. The reason I do this is because if I redirect my attention from whatever's bothering me to something positive and creative, it immediately lifts my mood.
This place setting is something that I made using items I found around my home. I wish I could take credit for the beautiful embroidered placemats, but I can't. My Mom gave them to me for my birthday last year, and I've been looking for ways that I can use them. I focused on the colors in the placemats as the foundation and added the plates, glasses, flowers, silverware, and candlesticks that complemented them.
Not only does it help me to create something beautiful, but it helps my family as well. They appreciate the small simple touches that make something ordinary like setting the table into something special. As one of my idols said, "It belittles us to think of our daily tasks as small things, and if we continue to do so, it will in time make us small." ~~Laura Ingalls Wilder
What helps improve your mood when you're struggling?
As always, thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Baywatch star David Hasselhoff is releasing his 14th studio album, and the new project will feature some heavy-metal music. While his singing prowess may not be as popular in North America as it is in Germany and Austria, it's clear that the actor/singer is looking to tap into his metal fan base.
Many equate Hasselhoff's music career to the laugh-out-loud "Hooked on a Feeling" music video, but the former Knight Rider actor hit it big in 2015 with the song "True Survivor." The '80s-inspired track was featured in the Swedish martial arts comedy Kung Fury and has nearly 40 million views on YouTube.
Why is the multi-talented, 66-year-old star making a departure from his pop music roots?
"I'm doing some heavy metal songs on my new album," he told German website Zeit. "Why not? I do not have an album title yet, but it should read: 'Everything is allowed.' I do everything. Because I can. Because I want it."
In 2014, Hasselhoff revealed some of his favorite bands were Iron Maiden and Metallica, so it's no stretch that he wants to emulate those he admires. That same year, he performed at the Austrian music festival Nova Rock following Iron Maiden.
Even more interestingly, in 2018 Hasselhoff teamed up with Ministry's Al Jourgensen and DJ Swamp to remix his cover of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline. So when Hasselhoff says "everything is allowed," he's telling the truth.
The star's upcoming album will be Hasselhoff's first since 2012's "This Time Around." The one prior, "A Real Good Feeling," hit number three in Austria.
In addition to Baywatch and Knight Rider, Hasselhoff has appeared in several films, including Click, Dodgeball, and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. He's also acted on Broadway in Jekyll & Hyde, Chicago and The Producers.
Hasselhoff is a pop culture icon. He famously performed "Looking For Freedom" at the Berlin Wall on New Year's Eve in 1989. The song hit number one on the German charts.

Geometrical Asymptotics
. Although the bulk of the world satisfies nice simple rules laid down from Descartes, to Newton, Hamilton, through to Dirac, the really interesting structures are born from the outer fringes of these theories - sonic booms, rainbows, ripples on ponds, wave-particle or wave-ray dualities. On these fringes the theories break down, but in their wake, beautiful geometry reveals intricate physical phenomena, such as swirling Mach cones in helicopter noise, the speed-of-light caustic in a high energy
, cusps, whiskers and complex rays in
conical diffraction
; ...
Grazing Catastrophes
. The theory of dynamical systems with discontinuities, such as friction, switching, or impact, is young and growing. At the heart of most theories is the assymption of smoothness, but from the squeal of brakes to the rattle of a fan blade, it is clear that in the real world things rarely run smoothly. These events are discontinuous, they involve sudden changes and loss of reversibility, and occur whenever two systems come into contact. Mathematics was not built to handle discontinuities, so we treat the interaction ad hoc, we look at the "before" and "after" in isolation, then stitch things back together later. But perhaps nature is not so malicious. Perhaps not everything is lost when a system jumps. By studying orbits that "graze" discontinuities - that almost jump but not quite - we hope to get to the heart of discontinuity.
From nonsmooth to slow-fast - Discontinuity Asymptotics
. What does the borderland between a system with a discontinuity, and a system with a sudden (slow-fast) change, look like? Experimental laws of the second type are incredibly complicated. Theoretical equations of the first type are too idealistically simple. Somewhere between them are the bifurcations and the catastrophes that define real world events everywhere from engineering to physiology, where contact between systems takes place much more quickly than changes in the systems themselves, but hugely affects their dynamics. I am interested in a nonsingular understanding of singular perturbation theory: a geometrical relationship between nonsmooth and slow-fast systems.

Apple has confirmed that it uses Google's public cloud to store data for its iCloud services in its latest version of the iOS Security Guide last month. Apple relied on Google's cloud services since 2016, but its never been previously confirmed.
Apple had previously used remote data storage systems provided by Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Apple's edition of the iOS Security Guide in March 2017 still listed Microsoft Azure instead of Google's Cloud Platform.
The new edition describes its iCloud service: "The encrypted chunks of the file are stored, without any user-identifying information, using third-party storage services, such as [Amazon] S3 and Google Cloud Platform."
It is good to know that even though the data is hosted by Google, it is probably not accessible or actionable in any useful way by Google. Google has a responsibility and every incentive to respect the data of its enterprise customers – especially with a deal like this, which may be worth hundreds of million dollars.
The other iCloud development worth noting is that Apple reportedly plans to store encryption keys for its data service for users in China within that country itself. It remains to be seen if this will affect sales of the company's product in China, now that its data is more susceptible to oversight by government authorities.

With the optional interface, you can record 14 individual parts, along with the main stereo output from the instrument, all to your computer at once. You can also route three stereo busses from your DAW right back to the MOTIF-RACK XS for monitoring, and additional effects processing without adding an extra load on your computer's CPU.
Edit Parameters From Your Computer
With the MOTIF-RACK-XS, you have comprehensive control over all Voice, Multi, and Drum settings from your computer, via the powerful MOTIF-RACK XS Editor software - it even lets you access detailed parameters that aren't available from the front panel.

text: Cape Town - Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey believes Manchester United have lost their ability to strike fear into the hearts of their opponents.Heskey revealed that the United side under Sir Alex Ferguson were almost able to win before the game kicked off, simply because they had an aura that intimidated teams who visited Old Trafford.However, the Red Devils finished the Premier League season in sixth position under Jose Mourinho, and Heskey believes it shows that their powers have diminished."They came sixth in the Premier League. Is that successful? It's not really successful," he told ESPN FC. "Winning the Europa League is a success, but in the league? No. I'm guessing they would have mixed feelings."It's not the United that I played against, who were dominating and scaring teams. They don't have that threat any more."When you went to Old Trafford, you feared what was going to happen. Now, people don't care. So they need to get that fear factor back."

World Junior Championship Recap: Finland Wins Third Gold in Six Years
Another amazing tournament from the best Under-20 players in the world. The cities of Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia were blessed with witnessing some of the best talent the game has to offer, and in some of the most exciting games in the tournament's history. Let's take a look back at each team's performance through the tournament.
Denmark Relegated After Rough Group Stage
The Danish knew they were in a tough draw, having to play Canada, Russia, and the Swiss in their group stage. It showed on opening night as Denmark was embarrassed by Canada 14-0, and the team would never recover. The Danes were shutout by Russia the following night, then the Swiss, and Czech Republic, all by 4-0 scores. The Danes just seemed heavily outmatched for the second tournament in a row. The offence was not there, and Mads Sogaard was a target in a shooting range.
Denmark was able to find the back of the net in the relegation series against Kazakhstan, but the Kazakhs had just a little more offence, defeating Denmark 4-3 and 4-0 to send Denmark back to Division 1 for the first time since 2014.
Kazakhstan Receives Unlikely Support, Sticks Around For Another Year
In their first tournament appearance since 2009, Kazakhstan knew they did not want to be a one-hit wonder. The first two games saw the Kazakhs lose 5-0 to Finland, and 8-2 to the US. Slovakia did not make Kazakhstan feel any more welcome, as they beat the Kazakhs 11-2. On New Year's Eve, the Kazakhs took on Sweden, and despite being brutally outplayed by the eventual group winner, lost respectably, 4-1. The 53 save performance of Kazakhstan netminder Denis Karatayev drew a standing ovation from the Victoria crowd.
The goal song the Kazakhs chose wooed the fans throughout the tournament. The team chose Neil Diamond's classic, "Sweet Caroline" which always drew a reaction from the fans in attendance.
The fans heard that song a few more times in the relegation series against Denmark, as they avoided relegation after a pair of wins over the Danes. Demid Yeremeyev was outstanding in net, including a shutout in-game two. Artur Gatiyatov was hands-down the team's MVP, and his eight points in the WJC was tied for second among all skaters.
Overwhelmed Slovakia Fails to Find Any Momentum
Group B was arguably the tougher of the two groups in the tournament, and the Slovaks fell victim to their draw. Things started alright for the team, as they competed hard in their first game against the US, only falling by a 2-1 score. However the next pair of games against Sweden and Finland showed just how outmatched the Slovaks were. The Swedish offence had timely scoring, and their defence limited Slovakia's scoring chances, and the game against Finland was almost the exact same story. Slovakia's lone win came against Kazakhstan where the Slovaks put 11 in the back of the net.
Slovakia drew Group A winner Russia, and the Russians showed their firepower early and often. Three goals two minutes apart early in the contest put Slovakia out of the game, and fell to an eighth place finish following the 8-3 loss.
Adam Liska and Martin Fehervary led the offence for Slovakia, with each scoring five points, and Milos Roman leading the team in goals with three in five games.
Outmatched Czech Republic Keeps It Close
The Czech Republic felt like they had a good chance in Group A to finish third with the skill they had on their roster. They started the tournament off with a bang, as David Kvasnicka's goal in overtime lifted the Czechs over Switzerland. Russia was supposed to come in and dominate the Czechs a couple of days later, but a solid game plan by the Czech defence held Russia's stars at bay. This feisty mindset was what the Czechs needed to do if they wanted to compete against the best in the tournament. They only fell to the Russians 2-1 thanks to the outstanding play by netminder Lukas Dostal. The Czechs would earn a second win in group play with a 4-0 shutout over Denmark.
The Czechs' offence was limited during the WJC, and Detroit prospect Filip Zadina was only held to a single assist throughout the tournament. Despite being defencively sound, Czech Republic had zero momentum offencively. This was what the eventual downfall for the Czechs would become. Yet, the most valuable player for the Czech Republic was Dostal. He was magnificent against the Russians and Switzerland. His .957% was best in the tournament, and his 1.25 GAA was second only to Canada's Mikey DiPietro.
The Czechs drew the Americans in the quarters. Once again, Dostal did everything he could to keep his team in the game, despite the US out-shooting the Czechs 41-19. USA was only up 2-0 in the third, and Kaut Martin, who led the team in scoring, showed Czech Republic was not about to give up. However, it would not be enough, as the Americans would win 3-1.
Canada Fails to Medal for the First Time on Home Ice
Canada came into this tournament looking to be the first team to win consecutive gold medals since they completed the country's second five-peat back in 2009. Canada throttled Denmark opening night 14-0, but with the exception of that game, and the victory over the Czech Republic, Canada really struggled offencively. They barely squeaked out a win over the Swiss, and they could not solve Russian netminder Pyotr Kochetkov. The power play was horrendous, as the Canadians only had a 16.7% success rate, second worst in the tournament.
Canada played Finland in the quarterfinal, and looked to have played their best game of the tournament. The team played an outstanding game defencively, led by the amazing play by Mikey DiPietro, who held the best the Finns had to offer for 59 minutes, where Canada held a 1-0 lead. Then, by a swift stroke of fate from the Hockey Gods, the puck bounced off Aleski Heponiemi's leg and through a startled DiPietro to send the game into overtime. During the extra period, Evan Bouchard would draw a penalty while on a breakaway, giving Canada a penalty shot. Any Canadian could take the shot, and coach Tim Hunter chose captain Maxime Comtois, who we learned following the tournament was playing with a separated shoulder. He unfortunately failed to convert, and the game would continue. Just minutes later, Cody Glass sent a pass across to Noah Dobson who had a wide open net, but his stick broke. The Finns came back down the other way, and Toni Untunen's shot deflected off Glass' stick and over the shoulder over the shoulder of DiPietro.
This was the 13th time Canada has hosted the WJC dating back to 1978. This was first time Canada failed to reach the podium on home ice.
Sweden Continues to Run the Round Robin, but Continues to Fall When It Matters Most
Sweden has been consistently been a powerhouse in the sport, no matter what level. Their outstanding performances in the WJC are historic, most notably in the group stage. On New Year's Eve 2006, the Swedes lost to the US in overtime to wrap up the group stage. Since that game, the Swedes have reeled off 48 straight wins in group play, including this year's excellence. After beating Finland opening night, they waltzed past the Slovaks, before a tough game against the United States. The Swedes went up 4-0 on the Americans, but the US fought their way to tie the game, and send it into overtime. In the sudden death period, Adam Boqvist would end the United States' attempt of completing the comeback. With the team's win over Kazakhstan the following night, Sweden won their group for the 12th straight time.
However the Swedes failed to translate group stage success into a medal as they were shocked by an inspired Swiss team in the quarterfinals. In the 12 years of dominance, Sweden has only won a single gold, that being in 2012. However, this is the first year since 2006 that the team failed to make it into the semi-finals.
Samuel Ersson was solid for Sweden in net, going 3-1 with a 2.43 GAA and a .917 SV%. Emil Bemstrom was the head of the offence with six points in five games.
Christian Wohlwend Inspires the Swiss to the Medal Round
If there was a more entertaining coach in the past couple of World Juniors, I would sure like to meet him. Wohlwend is the energetic, and bluntly honestly head coach of Switzerland, and his words of wisdom pushed his team to success in the tournament. The team's first game was against Canada. Last year, Wohlwend knew how outmatched the Swiss was, saying how he knew Canada was going to walk all over the Swiss. This year, he was more confident in his club, knowing they would be better against the Canadians. After an incredible game from Akira Schmid, the Swiss came oh-so-close from stunning the Canadians, only losing by a single goal. The Swiss made it passed the group stage with their win over Denmark, and met top-seed Sweden in the quarters.
Against the heavily-favoured Swedes, Switzerland relied on Luca Hollenstein, who played masterfully in net, stopping all 32 shots Sweden sent his way. The Swiss came out strong in the first couple periods, as goals from Yannick Bruschweiler and Luca Wyss would be all they needed to upset Sweden, and move onto the semi-final.
Switzerland ran into a hot and confident Finland team, and the Finns' offencive onslaught was too much for the Swiss, losing 6-1.
Even when the team was set to play for bronze against Russia, Wohlwend was still charismatic, and was quoted in saying "I hope all our players are eager and horny enough to win this game." Unfortunately, the Swiss had run the tank dry, as the Russians took their ninth bronze medal. This was only the fourth time the Swiss made it to the semis in the tournament, and much of the thanks had to go to the team's bench boss. Wohlwend's entertaining interviews and antics on the bench created fans across hockey and social media. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Montreal native.
High-Powered Russia Squeaks Third Bronze in Four Years
Russia had plenty of expectations coming into this year's edition of the WJC. With a team deep with talent, it was fairly apparent why. The team started off with a fairly easy victory over Denmark. However, the team struggled against Czech Republic. After only scoring a 2-1 victory, it looked as if Russia was maybe a little over-confident in themselves. In their third game against the Swiss, it looked like the Russians may have been in trouble, falling behind 3-1 in the second period. However, that seemed to have lit the fire underneath the Russian bench, as they reeled off four straight goals en route to a 7-4 win. The Russian defence played masterfully against Canada, and goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov was impressive in net, stopping 30 of 31 Canadian shots.
The Russians took care of Slovakia in the quarters before meeting with the United States in the semis. In a very tight game, neither defence seemed to fray, despite Russia being down 2-0 halfway through the second. Grigori Denisenko made it a one-goal game, and it looked like Russia was going to use that momentum to tie the game in the third. The US defence had other plans, as they built an iron curtain in front of their net, and Cayden Primeau stood on his head, and the US would win 2-1. Russia would be forced to play for 3rd, and would earn the bronze with a 5-2 victory over the Swiss.
Denisenko was outstanding for Russia. His four goals and five assists put him tied for the tournament lead in scoring with nine points. Kochetkov's .953 SV% and 1.45 GAA were second and third-best among goaltenders respectively.
United States Comes Oh-So-Close
The US came into this tournament with arguably one of the best teams in recent memory. Jack Hughes, Jason Robertson, Quinn Hughes, the talent the team had is very deep. The offencive firepower was present from the get-go, as Ryan Poehling showed his scoring touch. The St. Cloud State Husky put up eight points in seven games, which was tied for second in the tournament. Alexander Chmelevski and Jason Robertson were also big for the US, each chiming in with seven points. Despite a couple of close wins against teams like Slovakia and Czech Republic, the team was very confident in front of goaltender Cayden Primeau. Primeau was masterful in net for the American. Primeau went 4-1 in the tournament, with a 1.61 GAA and .936 SV%, which was third among goaltenders.
The Americans would outlast Russia and face Finland in the gold medal game. It looked like United States scored first after Oliver Wahlstrom put one passed Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, but the goal was waived off after Alexander Chmelevski was deemed to be in the crease. The Americans would fall behind by two to the Finns, before tying the game with goals from Chmelevski and Josh Norris just over 90 seconds apart. However, it was not meant to be as a late goal from the Finns dashed away any hopes at gold for the US, as the Americans would accept the program's second silver medal.
Finland Does It As Dramatically As Possible
If you looked at Group B, you probably would not have picked Finland to do that well. If you looked at the quarterfinals, you probably would not have picked Finland to beat Canada. If you looked at the gold medal game, you probably would not have picked Finland to beat the United States, especially since the Americans handled the Finns in the final game of group play.
Finland had it tough in group play, they barely lost to Sweden, but earned wins over Slovakia and Kazakhstan. The Finland offence was fairly spread out in the first four games. However, star forward Eeli Tolvanen was held to a single assist in the group stage, and it was up to Aarne Talvitie and Kaapo Kakko to pick up the slack. When put up against Canada, Finland was shut down for almost the entire game. Yet they continued to fire everything at the Canada net. With just under a minute left, Tolvanen bounced the puck off the side of the net, picked up the loose puck and just fired towards the front of the net. Aleski Heponiemi was driving by the side of the net, and the puck directed off his leg and into the net, tying the game. Then in overtime, Toni Utunen scored his lone goal of the tournament, his lone point for that matter, to send Finland to the semis.
There is no doubt that win does not happen without the performance from Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. The Sudbury Wolf was amazing in net, keeping Canada away from taking the lead for the majority of the game. He was arguably one of the best goaltender's in the tournament, going 4-2 in his six games with a 1.80 GAA, and a .932 SV% which was fourth in the tournament.
It seemed like that win over Canada sent Finland's confidence through the roof, and after an easy victory over upstart Switzerland, the met the United States with the gold on the line. After goals from Jesse Ylonen and Ottoa Latvala put the Finns up two, USA would tie it up just minutes later. With the Americans seeming to have all the momentum, Kakko found a loose puck at the side of the net, and scored with less than 90 seconds left, and Finland would hang on to win their fifth gold medal. For a team that had not medaled since their last win in 2016, it shows that Finland is gold or bust at the World Juniors.

Matt Schlapp: 5 lessons Trump, Ryan must learn from healthcare debateMatt Schlapp
By Matt Schlapp
(The Hill) – I had the opportunity to appear on "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week, and he asked me right out of the gate if I could understand why so many Americans are on edge. I told him I did, and I certainly understand how liberals, collectivists and those who refuse to accept the results of the 2016 election seem to be in full 24/7 outrage mode.
What Maher and progressives forget — or fail to understand — is that that conservatives are on edge, too.
After a historic campaign that dramatically re-wrote the playbook of how to win, many secretly hoped that after the election and inauguration a certain rhythm would set in and the chaotic pace would be replaced with government gridlock. After all, the long-standing joke about Washington has always been that the city runs on lots of talk and little action.
But in the era of Donald Trump, all we can do is talk about all the action. And there has been a lot of action.
So many executive orders have been signed on a wide array of issues, it's admittedly tough to keep up. Even the most seasoned news bureau chiefs and reporters seem overwhelmed by the West Wing's hectic pace and breathless accounts of who is in or out, up or down, who is keeping up and who's falling behind.
The wheels came to a grinding halt last week when a very complicated and controversial healthcare reform bill failed to make it to the House floor for a vote and produced an incredible and unintentional result: it awarded obstructionist Democrats points with their progressive base and exposed new rifts among Republican House members.
House leadership has always known the prospects of a Republican healthcare bill would be dicey, but they believed the best path was to simply and quickly unveil it and toss the hot potato to Senate Republicans. It was designed to get through the committees of jurisdiction and hit the floor with a simple up-or-down vote.
Republicans have had great political success at the ballot box recently, much of which is owed to voters' dissatisfaction with the one-size-fits-all ObamaCare monstrosity. Make no mistake, Republicans are on the hook to not just perform cosmetic surgery on ObamaCare but to substantively overhaul an unsustainable system that punishes middle-class Americans with skyrocketing premiums and deductibles.
House leadership instead insisted on a bill — and wedded it to an unrealistic timetable that further limited input — that failed to incorporate replacement measures that would heal the rift between GOP moderates and conservatives, and failed to represent the free market values that are at the core of our economic philosophy.
It turns out the bill never had even close to enough votes to take a chance with a showdown on the floor. Despite the media coverage, which has been dominated by the concept that the Freedom Caucus brought down the bill, the truth is more textured. Yes, the Freedom Caucus tried valiantly to improve the base bill in an attempt to move it to the right, but, at the same time, a long list of moderate Republicans also had either told Speaker Paul Ryan or the media they could not support the bill.
In other words, the Republican conference seemed to have reverted back to days of Merlot and mayhem under Speaker John Boehner.
The lesson that I had hoped had been learned was that a Speaker had to go through a process where the will of the conference developed over time in an attempt to determine the most conservative legislative package that could garner enough support. The amendment process on the floor, together with dozens of conference listening sessions and strategy sessions, would eventually result in consensus. Shutting members out, baking bills behind closed doors and jumping to the end game were old tactics that wouldn't work.
Some have said that President Trump and Vice President Pence were not effective enough advocates and that the president in particular failed to grasp enough legislative detail to convince members. My experience was exactly the opposite. Conservative members started off with a chip on their shoulder knowing their views were not being considered, and it was in fact the administration, including Health Secretary Tom Price, who convinced many to join the cause even when members had reservations.
Republicans cannot sugarcoat the negative consequences of our inability to corral ourselves to pass a repeal and conservative alternative to ObamaCare. The good news is that reporting this week seems to reflect this reality and a willingness to go at it again, hopefully with a different result the second time around. The stakes are high: a subsequent failure would be even more disastrous for Republicans. In an effort to avoid the mistakes of the last month and a half, here are five takeaways:
1. There are many ways to repeal and replace ObamaCare, but failing to pass legislation is political malpractice. Voters will punish legislators for failing to keep their most repeated and clearest campaign promise.
2. Market failure usually results in a government takeover. As ObamaCare continues to collapse under its own weight, there is just as likely a chance a future Congress could support a complete federal takeover of healthcare, as there would be an ability to introduce free market reforms. Some argue that time will eventually help end ObamaCare, but history teaches us that when programs falter, the more likely result is a permanent government takeover.
3. Speaker Ryan is a wise policy expert, but major legislation, especially impacting entitlements, cannot succeed without laying the necessary groundwork nationally for a given policy solution. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich faced a similar problem as Medicare teetered on bankruptcy early in his Speakership. Gingrich chose to save and reform Medicare and spent months giving a slide presentation to anyone who would listen before he ever discussed a specific legislative solution.
4. It is impossible in the age of constant media coverage to think that an entitlement can be narrowed without the backing of the major actors in that market. ObamaCare will never be replaced without the help and support of those companies and institutions laboring under its burdensome architecture. At the very least it would be nice to see what Harry and Louise think, or perhaps their children, who are probably living in their basement and working at Chipotle.
5. As much as Congress wants to believe it can guide a reform bill by itself, the White House has to know enough to give major direction upfront. Twitter won't win the vote, but a well-reasoned and articulated strategy that earns the support of key stakeholders and is pushed by the Trump/Pence/Price team may just get it done.
We may never know if tackling healthcare was the right first step for President Trump, but it eventually does need to be tackled to fix the problems voters demand be fixed. The only way complicated major issues like healthcare and taxes will get to the president's desk is for the White House and Republicans in Congress to plot and plan together as a team, and listen to the voices of the people who sent them there.
Matt Schlapp is chairman of the American Conservative Union and CPAC. He was the White House political director to former President George W. Bush.

Have you ever heard of the Haakaa breast pump? If you haven't, allow me to introduce to you the breastmilk-extracting wonder that has mothers raving. Some moms even claim they can pump more using this simple manual pump than they can with their electric pumps!
Nursing moms love the Haakaa
Moms in the BabyCenter Community have been buzzing about it for a while, actually. The original poster on this particular thread shared a photo of a completely full Haakaa pump, writing:
"I don't know if this existed when I had my other babies, but I only discovered it this year. It's freaking awesome! It's a soft silicone pump (sort of?) that you squeeze and put on your boob. The suction pumps milk out. Here's what I just got from using it while my little one nursed on the other side."
How to use the Haakaa
It seems there are a number of ways the Haakaa can be useful to breastfeeding moms. Many prefer to use it while they're nursing, to collect milk from the other breast that would have otherwise leaked and been absorbed into a breast pad. Others use it mainly to relieve engorgement.
"It helped so much with my engorgement and gives me enough through out the day to fill usually a 6 oz freezer bag and a 3-4 oz bottle for my husband to do a feed so I can nap," one mom wrote. "No extra time and super easy to clean. P.S., we are 6 days postpartum."
Still others squeeze the base, using suction like they would with any manual pump to build a milk stash.
"I'm at 15 days postpartum and I already have about 70 oz in my freezer, and that's just from using it a couple of times per day," another mom wrote.
My Haakaa test run
After seeing the Haakaa pop up again and again on breastfeeding support groups that I follow, I knew I had to test it out.
It's made from 100 percent medical grade silicone. And the best part? It's all one piece, making it super-easy to "set up" (Just grab it and pop it on your breast!) and clean (It's dishwasher safe, or it can be sterilized with boiling water.)
Because it has zero parts to assemble, the Haakaa is incredibly portable and would be great for vacations, taking to work or just tossing in your purse for on-the-go. It would be perfect, too, for discreet pumping on an airplane. Or a long car drive, if you don't have access to an outlet. As a marathoner, I would even consider carrying one with me during a race, if I had a younger baby and my breasts filled more quickly."how to use the haakaa manual pump"
How does the Haakaa work?
So how does it work, exactly? According to Haakaa's website, "simply suction to your breast and let the pump do the work for you as it draws your milk using suction ... Once the pump is secure and comfortable you can squeeze the base of the pump (not interfering with the top/suction) to create some movement."
For me, it seemed to work best when my daughter was nursing out of one breast and I had the Haakaa suctioned to my other breast. After a couple of minutes – and with a little bit of squeezing the pump base – I was able to get a nice flow going. (I didn't try to pump too much because I don't actually need to build a stash for my 17-month-old.)
It's silent, too. So you can pump even if your little one happens to fall asleep on the boob – without having to worry about the whirring of an electric pump awakening your snoozing cherub.
Here's a look at the Haakaa in action:
Here's the icing on the cake: You can snag one of these nifty pumps on Amazon for less than $15. For that price, it seems silly not to try one out, especially if other pumps haven't been working well for you.
Whether you are trying to save every last ounce of liquid gold during regular nursing sessions, need a pump for traveling or are desperate to find a pump that actually works for you, the Haakaa's could be a good option for you. This breastfeeding mama gives it two thumbs up.
Get the Haakaa
I received a Haakaa breast pump for the purpose of writing this review. All opinions are my own.

Zimbabwe Prison Service sued over death row inmates
By Daniel Nemukuyu
A GROUP of lawyers doing public interest litigation for free have taken the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) to court challenging its decision to deny them access to about 90 death row inmates at Harare Remand Prison who they intend to provide legal counsel in defence of their right to life.
Tendai Biti Law Firm is currently representing 17 others who are locked up at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison pending Constitutional Court challenges but ZPCS Commissioner-General Retired Major-General Paradzai Zimondi had denied the lawyers access to those awaiting execution at Harare Remand Prison.
The lawyers argued that Government was finalising the recruitment of a hangman for the purposes of commencing the execution of the condemned inmates.
They also argued that the recent public call by President Mugabe for the restoration of the full effects of death penalty, with all its conditions that existed prior to the adoption of the new Constitution in 2013, was also an indication that execution was now imminent.
To that end, the lawyers filed an urgent chamber application at the High Court seeking an order compelling Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) to allow them access to their clients and all other inmates awaiting capital punishment, in defence of their constitutional right to life.
In the urgent chamber application filed on Thursday, the law firm cited ZPCS and its Comm-Gen Retired Maj-Gen Paradzai Zimondi as respondents.
The lawyers, in the interim, want the court to compel ZPCS to allow them to visit all the death row inmates, interview them and to inform them of their rights.
They are seeking costs against Comm-Gen Zimondi on a punitive scale because, according to the lawyers, he has acted in a manner that disrespects the fundamental rights, freedoms, democratic values and principles as enshrined in the supreme law of the country.
The law firm, which does public interest litigation for free, has represented at least 17 prisoners at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison and some of their challenges are still pending at the Constitutional Court.
When the 17 were represented by the same lawyers years back, Comm-Gen Zimondi granted access and allowed the law firm to file court applications on the prisoners' behalf.
Tendai Biti Law Firm argued in its papers that the prisons boss was discriminating against about 90 other prisoners who are locked up at Harare Central Prison by denying the lawyers access to them.
"We contend that the position taken by first respondent (Comm-Gen Zimondi) is totally unreasonable, grossly irrational and ridiculous to say the least. For status, first respondent's actions discriminate against prisoners at Harare Remand Prison. At Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, he allowed us access and we have been able to work with these prisoners."He cannot deny the prisoners at Harare Remand Prison the same benefit," reads the papers.
The lawyers said Comm-Gen Zimondi was breaching the right to equal protection to death row prisoners at Harare Remand Prison as guaranteed by Section 56 of the Constitution.
The right to a legal practitioner of their choice was also being violated by the ZPCS boss' decision.
"Every prisoner enjoys the right to challenge his condition in terms of the Constitution. The prisoner cannot exercise such right without information and without legal advice. By denying us the right and opportunity of conversing with those prisoners, the first respondent is breaching their rights," the lawyers argued.
Comm-Gen Zimondi, the lawyers argued, has dismally failed to uphold the Constitution.
"We find it extremely ridiculous that 37 years after independence, a freedom fighter such as the first respondent can adopt the attitude reflected in his letter of the 31st of October 2017. He failed and failed dismally to uphold the Constitution. His conduct is shameful, crass and regrettable and this is why we seek costs against him in this application to be paid on a scale as between attorney and client," reads the court papers.
The application is yet to be set down for hearing at the High Court. The Herald

The story of John & Arlys Chesnutt's 1970 Imperial LeBaron 2 DR HT :
We purchased our beautiful Bahama Blue Metallic 1970 Imperial LeBaron 2 Dr HT on August 10, 1979 from the original owner, the Estate of Carl L. York of Baker, Oregon. It had 42,000 miles. Carl purchased it new from Roy Burnett Motors in Portland. VIN No. YM23TOC218429, Oregon Lic. Plate: DEM776.
We needed a safe road car for our two sons to travel to college in California from Oregon. They put it to good use for five years. It is not only a safe car, but has room for six people and a huge trunk. With a white vinyl roof, it is one of the most beautiful cars on the road. It is quiet, luxurious, and a comfortable road car. The Imperial has 113,200 miles and looks like new after a repaint, new white vinyl roof, and new white leather front seats. We enjoy driving it and taking it to car shows.
