National PTA is partnering with Safe Routes to School National Partnership and Kaiser Permanente to encourage families to walk more while keeping track of their steps. PTAs may also access tools available to turn this program into a healthy fundraising option. Fire Up Your Feet helps PTA members live healthier and connect with their families
PTA's Healthy Lifestyles program provides family-centered education and tools to empower families to partner with schools and advocate for healthy changes around nutrition and physical activity. It also strives to create an environment at home that supports the positive changes happening at school.
Bullying can happen anywhere that young people gather, including online, via text and on social networks. This program encourages PTAs to engage student leaders to lead conversations about how bullying is affecting their communities and to develop collaborative solutions.

Resources, including "A PTA's Guide to Smart Snacks in Schools", are readily available to help your PTA be a successful partner in this transition.
National Response to Address Children's
Exposure to Violence
Did you know that more than half of this nation's children - estimated at 43 million - will have their lives touched by violence, crime, abuse, and psychological trauma this year? It will happen in their homes, neighborhoods, schools, playgrounds or playing fields, locker rooms, place of worship, shelters, streets, or in juvenile detention centers. The U.S. Attorney General's Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence is a must read report for every parent, guardian, and/or community stakeholder.

Transformative Family Engagement- Building on the Six National Standards!
PTAs across Ohio have embraced the National Standards and made family engagement the heart of the PTA mission. We have done a great job at welcoming all families to PTA and schools, providing opportunities for families and staff to participate in events together and speaking up for all children in our schools, state and the nation. However, we can do more. We can deepen our understanding of family engagement and make it truly transformative, positively impacting the success of every child. How can PTAs get to the next level- the transformative level? PTAs can make their family engagement efforts transformative by refocusing their programs to include more links to student learning, developing parents' skills and building personal relationships between staff and families. These concepts are embedded in the Six Standards but are more explicitly defined in the United States Department of Education Dual Capacity Framework. The Dual Capacity Framework is based on the idea that families and staff need to work together and learn from each other in order for them both to gain the confidence, capacity, cognition and connections to impact student success. Family engagement opportunities need to be interactive and collaborative and part of all PTA events and programs. To learn more about the Dual Capacity Framework, click here. Pages 8-11 elaborate on the basic concepts and are a good place to start. These pages plus the Six National Standards shown below are great resources for PTAs who want to transform their family engagement program or apply for an Ohio PTA Family Engagement Grant.
Building Family-School Partnerships
Supporting student success in your PTA involves collaboration between parents, schools and communities. The National Standards for Family-School Partnerships provides a framework to use to help build FSP in your school. Talk with your PTA unit to see which of the standards below you feel you are meeting and which areas need strengthening. Check out the new Family-School Partnership e-learning workshop now available at www.pta.org/elearning for fresh ideas on how you can implement the Standards in your PTA.
STANDARD 1- Welcoming All Families
This is the first of six National PTA Standards for Family-School Partnerships. Interactions among teachers, students, parents and others set the tone for everything else. Families say the number one reason behind their school involvement is that they were greeted with warmth and respect.
STANDARD 2 – Communicating Effectively
Regular opportunities for open, honest dialogue helps families to feel they are informed about important issues and that they can easily communicate feedback to teachers, the principal, and other staff. Many schools deliver information through handouts, newsletters, handbooks and websites.
STANDARD 3 – Supporting Student Success
Every student should be afforded every opportunity to graduate from high school while being adequately prepared for and encouraged to pursue postsecondary education, including vocational education.
STANDARD 4 – Speaking Up for Every Child
All children need an advocate—someone to speak out and stand up for them. Most likely that "someone" will be a parent, guardian, or close family member.
STANDARD 5 – Sharing Power
Shared decision making needs to exist among all parties involved in a child's education. In a true partnership, all parties have an equal say in important decisions.
STANDARD 6 –Collaborating with the Community
Partnerships that connect a school with businesses, hospitals, colleges, service clubs, social service agencies, youth organizations, public housing projects, churches, other faith-based organizations, and other community groups can turn a neighborhood into a thriving place to live, work, and raise a family.

So what can we look forward to in 2018?
Bob Bob Cité
Bob Bob Ricard's sister restaurant is set to launch on January 15th on Leadenhall Street, complete with the Press For Champagne buttons we so loved in the original site. Chef Eric Chavot is at the helm for the Cité version of Bob, he'll be presiding over a restaurant that sees the rooms devided into Standard and Executive classes (this is the city after all) and there'll even be a nine-seater sushi restaurant housed within the restaurant itself.
Coming to us from a former Barrafina chef (we're already sold) Nieves Barragan Mohacho and a former Barrafina General Manager (double sold) José Etura, this new Spanish restaurant has all the trappings of success. Located on Mayfair's Heddon Street, the design is rumoured to be similar to their previous employers with a sweeping bar overlooking an open kitchen. What us DrinkUp gals are most excited about though? There'll be a separate bar area serving our favourite Spanish tipples from sherries to vermouths and even the gorgeous dry sparkling wine txakolis. Triple sold.
It seems everyone is getting out of Hackney these days, or at least launching their second venues back in central London. Neptune is set to be the next site from Hackney's seafood-driven gastropub The Richmond and will be set inside The Principal Hotel, which is currently undergoing an opulent refurbishment in Russell Square. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, despite the glamorous setting, this team is still striving for neighbourhood vibes.
Red Farm
Heard of Red Farm NYC? There's two and they're pretty famous as being some of the best Chinese in the big apple. Which is saying something. Now the brand is opening in London, right in the heart of Covent Garden. Which is sorta all we know for now, but we can expect their full line up of dumplings, and if their instagram page is anything to go by, cocktails as well.
Mare Street Market
If you've been to a 5CC cocktail bar or one of the barworks pubs (Wenlock & Essex, Electricity Showroom or The Well & Bucket) you'll know these guys usually get things bang on the money. Mare Street Market, a converted warehouse space close to Broadway Market, is going to host a main restaurant with a menu designed by Nuno Mendes from The Chiltern Firehouse as well as a record shop, a florist, a bakery, deli and cocktail bar – which is no doubt were you'll find team DrinkUp.
Swingers West End
Launching on March 23rd, our favourite east end crazy golf has found a much larger sister site, this time in the old BHS building on Oxford Street. It will of course have the same attractions such as street food vendors and two cocktail bars (apparently one has a building within the building which sounds like a great excuse to go if nothing else), as well as two brand new courses of seaside-themed golf.
Ollie Dabbous and Oskar Kinberg's new site
Ah remember Dabbous? That was one glorious restaurant and, better yet, cocktail bar where you could order food downstairs and never worry about getting a table months in advance. For the new site, we don't know a tone about as of yet but it's definitely happening. Trust us. It's to be in partnership with Hedonism Wines and we have heard that Hedonism has submitted a licensing application to Westminster City Council for a 250-cover restaurant at 85 Piccadilly in London's Mayfair. But anything else we couldn't possibly say. Mum's the word.
Stay updated on all the latest bar news and openings
What's coming in 2018
2017 was a year of big openings, and we have a funny feeling that 2018 might be up to the challenge of bringing even more to the capital. We've had our ears to the ground and these are the hottest openings to watch out for in 2018!
So what can we look forward to in 2018?

There are several museums that have researched and brought together information and artifacts related to the original Separatists and the 102 passengers of the Mayflower who became the Pilgrim Fathers.
In the United Kingdom the Bassetlaw Museum and Mayflower Pilgrims Visitor Centre in Retford in Nottinghamshire and Gainsborough Old Hall have researched the origins of the local Separatists and their subsequent leadership roles as Mayflower Pilgrims. Bassetlaw Museum has some archive material relating to the subject. At Doncaster there is the Doncaster Museum & Art Gallery and the Doncaster Archives.
Our Association Historian, Sue Allan, has recently published three new Brewster related books,'In Search of Scrooby Manor', 'James Brewster, Bawtry Chapel & A Trybe of Wicked People', and 'William Brewster- The Making of a Pilgrim' which are all full of new research and information not seen before.
Dr. Jeremy Bangs, Director of the American Pilgrim Museum Leiden and one of the leading Mayflower Pilgrim historians, has recently published a comprehensive new book – 'Strangers and Pilgrims, Travellers and Sojourners. Leiden and the Foundations of Plymouth Plantation' which provides extensive detail on the heritage of the local Separatists and their reasons for leaving England for Holland.
Boston on the East coast of Lincolnshire has a strong heritage link to the Separatists who were once held in the Boston Guildhall cells after their failed escape attempt in 1607.. Plymouth in Devon is twinned with Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The key institutions in the United States that have extensively researched the heritage of the Pilgrim Fathers are the Plimoth Plantation, the Pilgrim Hall Museum and the Mayflower Society Museum, all of which are located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is 40 miles South of Boston. They have extensive archives and artefacts regarding the heritage of the Pilgrim Fathers from their landing at Plimouth Rock on 9th November 1620. Plymouth in Massachusetts celebrates this heritage and their twinned link with Plymouth in Devon.
Robert Browne was the first leader of the English Separatist movement during the reign of Elizabeth I. He lived at Lilford Hall in Northamptonshire, founded his own church and published his principles which became those followed by Richard Clifton of Babworth Church and William Brewster of Scrooby Manor before they left Lincolnshire with others for Holland in 1608.
In Holland these Separatists eventually settled in Leiden until they sailed to England in the Speedwell in 1620 prior to their departure, as the Pilgrim Fathers, for America. The Leiden American Pilgrim Museum in Leiden, whose Director is Dr. Jeremy Bangs maintains details of their time in Holland together with some artifacts of that time.
Caleb Johnson brings together extensive information about the Pilgrims on his excellent Mayflower History.com website.
New England Beginnings, is a partnership to encourage and promote activities that commemorate the cultures that shaped early New England. The activities we are focused on are designed to 1) tell the stories of the region in the seventeenth century to a wide, general public audience and 2) enhance accessibility of resources for future scholarship in the field.
Numerous articles have been written over the years about the Pilgrim Fathers heritage as well as several new films and documentaries including Kirk Cameron's 'Monumental' and Ric Burns PBS 'Pilgrims' both of which featured our Association Historian.
The heritage has also stimulated an historical adventure novel, The Mayflower Maid, which is set among the Separatist Pilgrim and Gainsborough Old Hall
An educational Heritage pack has been developed by Sherwood Forest Trust. These heritage activity packs are available for download.
In the USA materials have been developed by a Mayflower descendant for use by both children and their teachers. Additional materials are on the Mayflower Society for Pennsylvania web page.
There is additional rich heritage connecting Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire to the foundations of the United States. Captain John Smith, who was a leader in the foundation of Jamestown, was born in Willoughby in East Lincolnshire and William Wilberforce of Hull in South Yorkshire led the campaign to abolish slavery

I made some changes which I thought would add to the esthetic of this contemporary piece, like square plates under the bone white candles, and a general up-sizing of just about every piece of material we used. Plus, I thought a squared chain would echo the square candle plates beautifully, not to mention the fact that it would be so much more interesting then that regular Home Depot looking chain everyone uses on chandeliers. We could have gone for the brushed nickel finish, but the brushed steel looks just as cool, without the extra hefty price tag, so we went with that. I think it will be a great addition to the beautiful bedroom it's going to be hanging in; can't wait for Lauri to see it.
Most think of Potter Art Metal Studios as beautiful Old World Metalworkers.
I have to say that my guilty pleasure is the contemporary project we get here and there.
What you have to understand is that metal is only pieces of squares, rounds, and flats. What you do with them is what the final product will look like. It knows no boundaries between Formal French, Mediterranean, or Contemporary. It's all in the design and the execution.

Josh Dunkley aims to kick more goals, wants to reach absolute extreme limits of potential
Western Bulldogs midfielder Josh Dunkley has set his sights on kicking more goals this season as he looks to reach the absolute extreme limits of his capabilities.
A 2016 premiership player, Dunkley kicked 11 goals from 19 games last year mixing his time between midfield and attack.
While he does not expect a significant change to that mix, the 22-year-old said he was determined to make himself a more dangerous option in the forward line, having put on a fair bit of size over the off-season.
I think youll see a few of us midfielders get down forward a little bit because there is that versatility side of the game, Dunkley said.
Ive always loved contested marking and things like that so to continue to improve that part of my game is to be able to continue to push forward, take marks and kick goals.
Dunkley said while the Bulldogs forward line did not work as it would have liked in their first JLT Series match against Gold Coast on Sunday night he was confident it would have a new-and-improved look this year.
The Bulldogs ranked 15th for scores for last season, averaging just 71.6 points a game, and managed just 72 points in their five-point loss to the Suns in Mackay on Sunday.
Avenues to goal and being able to score has been a big priority for us, Dunkley said.
Weve looked at that pretty heavily and throughout the pre-season weve been really good at it. The conditions didnt really help us up north but really looking forward to this week and seeing how we go.
Dunkley and teammate Marcus Bontempelli travelled to the United States during their off-season break, spending a week at Nike headquarters in Portland and another week training with Olympic coach Dr Matt Kritz in San Diego.
I think the States stuff was knowing the skys the limit, Dunkley said when asked what he had learnt from the trip.
Not knowing your boundaries and being able to push yourself to your absolute extreme limits. We really learnt that we thought we had it covered but were nowhere near it really. So to be able to go to that next level is pretty promising and exciting.
The Bulldogs meet St Kilda in their second and final pre-season match at Ballarats MARS Stadium on Sunday.

Veto Override and RPS Expansion in Maryland: Roles of Actors and the Economy
« Return to student working paper listing
October 2017
Rio Mizuno
The excessive generation of greenhouse gases by fossil fuel electricity production, and its resulting contribution to climate change, are some of the most threatening environmental issues today. To combat this problem, many US states have adopted a renewable portfolio standard to increase electricity production by renewable sources. RPS has been successful in mitigating GHG emissions, and about half of these states have expanded their RPS goals. In this paper, I conduct a case study of Maryland's passage of the Clean Energy Jobs Act, a bill calling for a RPS increase, and the reversal of the governor's veto to better understand what made these events possible. I find that the state's divided government had a significant effect in causing the clash between the sponsor of the bill and the governor- this political clash spurred arguments based on economic factors. Furthermore, I find that provisions to the bill accounting for economic impacts likely led to its passage, and that the high economic well-being of Maryland was a determining factor in the state's implementation of the RPS. The importance of economic reasoning suggests that provisions regarding economic growth are crucial to gaining support for increased targets in renewable energy production.

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games are here, and the five to eight hour time difference between the mainland USA and the UK may be just the right combination to bust your work network(s).
I have some time sensitive information for network and security administrators around the country:
Don't be lulled to sleep by the lack of network traffic at work from the Olympic Games opening ceremony.
The remarkable opening ceremony for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London was broadcast on NBC last night using the decades old approach – tape delayed at 7:30 PM on one traditional television channel. There was an NBC blackout of the live opening ceremonies in the USA on both TV and the Internet. (Critics were hitting hard at NBC for their decision to blackout live coverage of the opening and closing ceremonies, but let's move on.)
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games are here, and the five to eight hour time difference between the mainland USA and the UK may be just the right combination (perfect storm) to bust your work network(s). According to numerous sources, NBC will be airing over 3500 hours of live Olympic coverage. There will also be plenty of next-day highlight videos to watch as well. This means that all those badminton-lovers out there will be able to get their fill of the sport via the Internet.
Seriously, this issue is a real threat to the survival of some company and government networks over the next few weeks. This opportunity comes, at most, every four years. The 12-15 hour time difference between the USA and China makes comparisons to the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics almost meaningless.
We know from the past that the live streaming of sports can be a network killer. Businesses around the USA discover this fact during March Madness (basketball) games if the local team is playing on a Thursday or Friday afternoon. I have spoken with some companies that even shut down work during such popular sporting events, and others use the opportunity for a team-build event watching the game. However, that "if you can't beat them join them" strategy won't work for two weeks of Olympic sports.
For the sports enthusiast, the opportunities to watch Olympic competitions seem almost endless. New issues this time around include the mobile device problem along with company BYOD policies. So even if you filter sports or limit live streaming into company networks, could employees be running up bills on company-owned smartphones or iPads? Computerworld ran a story on this topic entitled: IT's Olympic Challenge: Live Streaming Employees. Here's an excerpt:
"Employers say, minimally, they'll be monitoring networks and will be prepared to cut off streaming access if they must. Some IT managers are reminding staff about network corporate policies.
Another problem is the potential for out-of-control mobile costs. Many employers support far more streaming-capable devices today than they did for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing…
Daniel Rudich, the senior vice president in charge of real time expense management at Tangoe, said the Olympics could have a 5% to 10% impact on their overall mobile budgets if users aren't prepared for it….
Brandon Jackson, the CIO of Gaston County, N.C., said the county's current default 'is to block streaming media sites for most of our 1,200 users.' However, he said exceptions are made for those workers who have "a documented business case" for accessing streaming media…."
Here are seven questions to ask executives and/or things to keep in mind:
1) What is your policy regarding personal use of computers, sports and filtering? Can you enforce the policy? What controls are in place?
2) Is watching live sports (or other personal entertainment) videos or streaming media allowed? (For companies that say they just trust their employees to get work done, some extra reminders and oversight may be required in the next few weeks.)
3) Can you limit bandwidth for video or live streaming, if necessary? Are the tools in place to adequately monitor network performance? (Again, special attention may be needed right now.)
4) What is the policy for "inappropriate use" of personally-owned devices? Even if the company network may not be impacted, worker productivity can still be a problem.
5) Watch out for Olympic-related malware and spam links. Warn users as necessary. Remember that global or national headlines provide opportunities for the bad guys as well, since users will be intrigued.
6) Turn lemons into lemonade - Take this opportunity to train staff and reinforce policies. When everyone is watching, it is often easier to get their attention in meaningful ways.
7) Beyond the London Olympics, think longer term and develop "what if?" scenarios for a variety of sports and/or other entertainment events. Test your controls.
One final thought. If a "not so stellar" employee suddenly starts coming into work early over the next few weeks to "get caught up." You may want to check the network traffic – and the Olympic beach volleyball schedule.

If Apple Had Branded The Beatles Album Covers
Hifi site Superfi looks at how the classic album covers would change if branded by Steve Jobs' company.
In 1968 the Beatles founded Apple Records, a record label intended as a creative outlet for the Beatles.
This got us wondering, what if Apple Records and Apple Computer were the same thing?
To answer this question we've restyled some iconic Beatles vinyl as if they were designed by Apple. Let's take a look at the results in the above slideshow.

This short dress is so perfect. I am happy with the price. Such a cheap price and the quality is mind-blowing. I like it for the vertical ruching on the bust. It imparts a unique look to the dress. Short length is another attraction. This style suits my choice. Chiffon fabric is so lightweight, thick and soft. It is perfectly knee length for me. Such a playful dress in gorgeous color!! Love it!

Thought of wearing a simple, short dress to the military ball this year. I placed my choice upon this one. My regular size is 4 and I got this dress in 4. it worked. I like the way the dress fits.
In fact, the amazing fit makes the dress rich and beautiful inspite of the simple design. I like the lace bodice a lot.
Everybody at the party liked my dress and commented on how pretty I looked in it. Couldn't have been happier with it.

I was in search of a cute dress for my daughter who had to attend her best friend's wedding as a bridesmaid. She had never before worn dresses so I thought of buying a simple style with flowy skirt.
This dress seemed to be right for her. It appeared to be comfortable and elegant. I ordered it in her size and received it quite fast. She did look beautiful in the dress and also felt comfortable.
Her first time wearing dress experience was made great by this piece. She wants to buy more dresses and we have already finalized them here.

I bought the dress from dorriswedding as a bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding. I don't have an even figure so I was worried about the fit. But when I read the reviews, I got some confidence that they would tailor it as per my measurements and I was right.
They sent me a great fitting dress as if specially made for my body. The design looked more pretty in person. The fabric quality was superior. The length was right, not too small and not too big. The beautiful scoop neckline compliments the look. And the best part is that it suits any occasion.
Overall, I was really impressed with the service and items of DorisWedding and was satisfied with the shipping. Well priced and turstworthy! The products are good fitting and well made. You can go for them without any hesitation.

A beautiful dress and the coral is a really stunning color. Great chiffon quality, falls really nicely and is so flattering even on 4 very different sized bridesmaids. I got the standard size which fits 5 ft 8 height perfectly allowing for heels. I now need to buy another 3 for my other bridesmaids, all of them loved the dress and Tina was so helpful. Also, it's definitely a good idea to get lots of swatches before ordering as the materials all differ for different colors so this makes quite a big difference. Love the dress, thanks so much!!

I completed my order on March 8th and I was contacted to confirm the measurements and delivery date. I told them that I wanted it on time and they assured me of that. It reached e on March 30th. The company offered an amazing customer support and they are so helpful and responsive. The length and fit of the dress is perfect. The color is also true to the picture. It is comfortable to wear and I could expect nothing more. I got tons of compliments for it at the prom.

After a long wait the day for the court hearing re Independent Living Fund is now here. Full details about the hearing and vigil can be found here.
There will also be an interview shown on Ch4 news at 7pm March 13th.
Please show your support throughout the afternoon by sharing these details as wide as possible. A few attending will hopefully be tweeting using hashtag #ILF
I am Barry McDonald, I am 28 years old. I am a wheelchair user. I enjoy watching football and going out to the pub with my friends. I do a lot of volunteering around sports and improving services for Deaf and disabled people. I am ambitious as I have life goals I want to achieve: to be in a long term paid job, to move out on my own and to be in a position where I can be actively involved in doing all I can to improve services provided for disabled people and working towards a world that can one day be fully accessible for all.
I can't do these things on the level of support I get from my local authority. I receive 45 minutes of social care per day for personal care. I receive nothing for domestic, social or leisure activities because my local authority will only fund support for basic personal care needs.
As a young person the hardest thing I find is not being able to go out and do anything, I can't take part in the community, in training or work experience because I have no support to travel anywhere. I am also severely limited in chances to go out and socialise.
I am Chair of my local Disabled People's Organisation but it costs sixty pound in taxis for me to go to a single meeting and when funding is tight that really limits the amount I can do. There are numerous events, meetings and trainings that go on that I can't get to because there is no funding for travel. I would happily use public transport but I need someone to travel with me because I can only go so far in my manual wheelchair and I need support getting on and off buses and trains.
I have a taxi card which only gives me 8 journeys per month. Going into Bromley from where I live costs me two swipes of my Taxi card for a one way journey. So for one outing with my friends costs me 4 swipes of my taxi card plus my contribution which varies because it is a black cab and runs on a metre. It can cost me between £5 – £2, depending on the time I get the cab. It also means I get stuck places as I have accidentally used up all my taxi card swipes to get to a place and then can't get home. The 8 journeys means two social outings per month. I also have a mobility car through my DLA. A friend uses that to drive me to football for Arsenal home games but aside from that I don't have funding for support for anyone to drive me anywhere in it.
My life would be very different if I had been able to apply for the ILF. The ILF was good at leveraging local authorities to increase the care packages they were awarding so I would have got more all round. I would have used the extra support to move out of my family home when I was 21 years old. I would also have built up confidence to travel on public transport, being able to employ a Personal Assistant so I could go out and about. I would have been able to get to the courses and training I wanted to go on to qualify as Level 3 Sports Coach and I could now be working towards paid employment in my chosen profession. I would have support to go to the gym three times a week, improving my health and fitness. I could go on
holiday even. As a result of being able to do all these things it would have boosted my confidence and maybe I would be in a relationship by now.
Natassia and Petrell's Story
Natassia is a 21year old young woman who lives at home with her parents in South Norwood, Croydon. She wants to live an independent life with choice and control over what she does and who she does it with. Her support package from the local Council is £175 per week. This is not enough to cover the support she needs yet the Council are refusing to raise it, giving her mother the only alternative of sending her to live in residential care.
Natassia has Cerebral Palsy and requires assistance with washing, dressing. She wants to be active and to enjoy social networks and get of the house so she uses her budget to pay to go to a day centre of her choice in South Croydon three days a week. This costs £141 and leaves little left in the budget for meeting her needs for the rest of the week. The Council say if it is too expensive from her budget she should choose to go somewhere else but other day centres in the area are full of older people who Natassia doesn't relate to and aren't appropriate. The cost of getting out of the house three times a week then means that there isn't enough money left in the budget to pay for personal assistants to support Natassia get up, washed and dressed and her parents have to rise at 4.30am to do this. They are happy to do this on the weekend but they find it too much every day of the week.
The Council says that if this is a problem, Natassia should be sent into residential care.
This is despite the fact that residential care would be more expensive than raising the level of the personal budget Natassia receives, costing £225 in rent before any costs for support and personal care.
The family home has been adapted so it is accessible and meets Natassia's needs. It is where she wants to live.
Had the Independent Living Fund been open Natassia could have applied for support to meet her full range of needs, to receive personal assistance support that allowed her to live with her family while allowing them to live their own lives while still being able to maintain her social networks and to be part of the community.

Russia is a nation-state. It is the largest nation-state on Earth, stretching from Europe across Asia.
It used to be part of the Soviet Union, and the most dominant of its fifteen republics, but the band broke up in the early 1990s. Or so we ''think''.
IDW comics continuity
An ongoing separatist movement in the state of Brasnya was being manipulated by the Decepticons for their own ends, by means of artificial human "facsimiles". Russian and separatist forces were manipulated into conflict, which could have exploded into a major war if the battle hadn't disrupted by cars fighting space shuttles and the presence of giant warring robots.
After being directly spoken to by one robot, the Russian forces stood down and withdrew. Escalation
Titan Magazines
In an alternate reality, the Decepticon invasion caused Russia to buddy up with NATO and advocate nuclear strikes on Decepticon-held America. It didn't work out well... Transformers Comic issue 10

Bulkhead and Breakdown were fighting in Russia, until Bulkhead was knocked unconscious by Breakdown while the Decepticon was disabled by a missile shot from a helicopter by MECH. MECH's first base is located in Russia while its second base is somewhere around Nevada.

Houston, TX (May 19, 2015) – Twin Eagle Sand Logistics, LLC ("Twin Eagle"), a subsidiary of Twin Eagle Resource Management, LLC, is pleased to announce that it has landed its first 130 car frac sand unit train at Mission Rail in Elmendorf, Texas, which is in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale.
The extra-long unit train is one of the largest frac sand trains ever to land in the Eagle Ford shale. The train was off-loaded into Twin Eagle's new 60 million pound frac sand silo system, which is also one of the largest in the country. The silo system is scaled to house up to 300 railcars worth of frac sand and can load a truck in less than two minutes.
Twin Eagle is one of the largest independent frac sand terminal developers and operators in the country. Twin Eagle sand terminals are strategically located in the most prolific oil and gas basins. Locations in addition to Mission Rail include: the Laredo Terminal located in the South Eagle Ford, the Evans Terminal located near Evans, Colorado to serve the DJ Basin, and the Powder River Basin Terminal in Douglas, Wyoming. A terminal near Big Springs, Texas is also under development. Twin Eagle's current terminals, combined, control over 900 rail car spaces with nearly 50,000 tons of storage capacity.
"Longer laterals, more stages and closer spacing of wells are increasingly common in today's shale plays, which is why frac sand intensity per well continues its rise" said Griff Jones, Twin Eagle's Chief Executive Officer. "We believe that world-class terminal infrastructure like what we have developed at Mission Rail is necessary to reduce logistics costs of completing wells and improving our customers' breakeven costs of completion."

Air Purification Systems – Raleigh, North Carolina
Air Purification Systems in Raleigh, North Carolina
Is your home making you sick in Raleigh, North Carolina? It could. Did you know that the air in the average house or office building contains 1,000 more impurities indoors than out? If you are sick of being sick in Raleigh, North Carolina, consider a new way of purifying your indoor air.
Most homes run on heating or cooling systems year-round, and while we all value energy efficiency on our utility bills, the downside is that we're trapped in recirculated air. Opening the windows won't solve the problems of allergens and other organisms that can affect your health. Air filtration systems can't catch all of them, and meanwhile they are able to multiply and attack.
What is the Ultraviolet Air Purification System?
In Raleigh, North Carolina, you can benefit from the same technology that hospitals and government agencies use: Ultraviolet (UV) sterilization.

- germs
- allergens

- microorganisms
- viruses
- bacteria
Living in Raleigh, North Carolina comes with a long allergy season. A UV air purification system doesn't require filters that have to be replaced. It is 100% safe, and superior even to ionization.

Potholder Pass 3 - that one is also in the mail - I do hope my partner likes it!
and then the Flickr group Mini QT swap, where I had 3.5" squares and a mini quilt. The squares you saw before here (way down the post!), but the mini quilt is currently enroute to my partner so you can only see this tiny bit until she receives it.
I didn't do so well with my Spring to Finish challenge - only finished one of the 4 I had hoped to (see my sidebar). But I am bound and determined that these three will be my next UFOs to be finished - if I can just stop signing up for more swaps, and starting new charity quilts (2 of which I hope to have done by Friday).
I had a wonderful visit with Laurraine from Patchwork Pottery this morning. Laurraine is a new neighbour who I met through blogging and she is amazing! Please go check out her website and Flickr page!!! I love this blogging - I'm getting to meet so many neat, creative and talented folks!
and finally, the kitchen reno is progressing - we now have our sink in place although we haven't got the plumbing hooked up again yet. But it's getting there!
Looks like
Happy quilting!

Talk:Leonidas I
Leonidas I did not say the quote "Good, then we'll have our battle in the shade," in response to the scouts statement, Dienekes did. The full quote is as follows:
It is said that on the eve of battle, he was told by a native of Trachis that the Persian archers were so numerous that, when they fired their volleys the mass of arrows blocked out the sun. Dienekes, however, quite undaunted by this prospect, remarked with a laugh,
"Good. Then we'll have our battle in the shade."
-Herodotus, The Histories
Is the "This is Sparta!" quote really historical? I'm pretty sure it was just made up for 300, so it should probably be deleted from this page, awesome though it is. 188.8.131.52 17:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- I have now removed it and properly sourced Molon labe! ~ Kalki 17:53, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Taking out the following two quotes:
* Madness? This is Sparta! * Ready your breakfast and eat hearty. For tonight we dine in hell!
Although who ever put it did say it was taken out of the film, these two quotes should be put on the appropriate session: Quotes from the film. Not on the part about the historical character.
- If you knew what is good in life, you would abstain from wishing for foreign things. For me it is better to die for Greece than to be monarch over my compatriots.
- In response to Xerxes' offer of Kingship over all Greece in return for a Spartan surrender at Thermoyplae.
- Upon being told that the persians were so numerous that their campfires shone like stars in the night. Leonidas replied:
- "Good, for when i was a young boy, i had always dreamed of reaching the stars with my spear!"

Every Connecticut driver is required to have a certain amount of insurance to help cover the costs of an accident should one occur. The idea behind the Connecticut car insurance requirement is that a driver may not have the means to cover the costs of the property damage and medical bills that result from an accident that they cause. By requiring drivers to have insurance, this ensures that accident victims will not be left without any means of recourse.
Connecticut lawmakers are responsible for setting motor vehicle insurance limits. Liability insurance covers any accident caused by the vehicle owner's negligence or the negligence of anyone they allow to use their vehicle. Currently, Connecticut requires that motorists carry coverage for $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident for bodily injury and $10,000 for property damage.
Some serious Connecticut car accidents, however, result in far more damage than these liability limits cover. For this reason, lawmakers also require that Connecticut motorists carry insurance in the event that the person who causes an accident does not have sufficient insurance or has no insurance at all.
Insurance Against Underinsured and Uninsured Drivers
In Connecticut, motorists are required to carry coverage for $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident. This helps to ensure that if another driver who is not insured causes an accident, the injured motorist will be able to look to both the underinsured motorist's liability insurance plan (assuming one exists) as well as their own underinsured motorist coverage. Uninsured motorist protection also covers damages caused by a hit-and-run driver. Importantly, these limits represent the minimum required insurance, and motorists are free to obtain additional insurance to cover more serious injuries.
Underinsured motorist protection is very important because it can help an accident victim obtain compensation if the person responsible for the accident either does not have insurance or does not have enough insurance to cover the costs incurred. For example, assume a motorist causes an accident resulting in injuries to another person totaling $200,000. If both parties only carried the minimum coverage, the accident victim would only be entitled to $20,000 from the at-fault driver's policy (under the liability insurance provision) and another $20,000 from his own underinsured motorist provision. For this reason, it is recommended that motorists carry more than the minimum required amount of coverage.
Have You Been Injured in a Connecticut Car Accident?
If you or a loved one has recently been injured in a Connecticut car accident, you may be entitled to monetary compensation, even if the other driver involved did not have adequate insurance or did not have insurance at all. However, insurance companies often contest accident victims' claims, dragging out the process and potentially defeating a motorist's claim for compensation.

Assessing Durable Competitive Advantage in Businesses
Successful investors know that finding a business with a high barrier to entry, a moat in Buffett parlance, is the key to creating long-term wealth. Identifying businesses that have a competitive advantage that is sustainable and durable, will deliver the greatest rewards to the owners. Continue reading
Mohnish Pabrai Explains Why Charlie Munger Says "Pay Attention to the Cannibals"
In an article over at Forbes, Mohnish Pabrai lays out a strategy he calls the "Uber Cannibals" based on buying the 5 companies with the biggest share repurchases.
Dividends are a tax-inefficient way to get money back to shareholders; neither company pays a dividend. Buybacks work a lot better.

Portfolio Housecleaning
A great article from Meb Faber on how it can pay to look at your portfolio with the objective of getting rid of legacy positions that no longer merit being in the portfolio. The opportunity cost to investors of these legacy positions can be enormous.
In essence, you're forcing yourself to start with a mental clean slate. In a perfect world, how does your ideal portfolio look as of today, going forward? To the extent the actual holdings in your portfolio fit into your vision, they remain. Those that don't get the axe.

Faith and Feedback in Investing
NYU Professor Aswath Damodaran is a well known expert in valuation, but he is also an investor in many of the companies he values. His investment style is to look for companies in the market that are currently trading at a discount to what his valuation analysis shows is its intrinsic value.
He is kind enough to post these valuations and importantly the narrative and assumptions used in valuing the subjects in detailed posts and videos on his blog. He is the ultimate teacher, who loves to instruct and puts all of his intellectual property online for free for anyone who wants learn.
In his recent post on his valuation and investment in Valeant Pharmaceuticals, he highlights an important and much overlooked part of investing.
Faith and Feedback
In both my valuation and investments classes, I spend a significant amount of time talking about faith and feedback and how they affect investing.
Faith: As an investor, you are acting on faith when you invest, faith in your assessment of value and faith that the market price will move towards that value. If you have no faith in your value, you will find yourself constantly revisiting your valuation, if the market moves in the wrong direction (the one that you did not predict) and tweaking your numbers until your value converges on the price. If you have no faith in markets, you will not have the stomach to stay with your position if the market moves against you.
Feedback: As an investor, you have to be open to feedback, i.e., accept that your story (and valuation) are wrong and that market movements in the wrong direction are a signal that you should be revisiting your valuation.

How Renaissance's Medallion Fund Became a Money Machine
The fabled fund, known for its intense secrecy, has produced about $55 billion in profit over the last 28 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, making it about $10 billion more profitable than funds run by billionaires Ray Dalio and George Soros. What's more, it did so in a shorter time and with fewer assets under management. The fund almost never loses money. Its biggest drawdown in one five-year period was half a percent.

Meb Faber Interviews Larry Swedroe – A Must Listen
Head over to the Mebfaber.com website and listen to a master class on factor investing (smart beta). Two of the best quantitative researchers on the subject do a deep dive into their findings and how most investors don't implement the strategy correctly.
Larry believes there are 5 rules to help you evaluate factors: 1) Is the factor "persistent" across long periods of times and regimes? 2) Is it "pervasive"? For instance, does it works across industries, regions, capital structures and so on. 3) Is it "robust"? Does it hold up on its own, and not as a result of data mining? 4) Is it "intuitive"? For instance, is there an explanation? 5) Lastly, it has to be "implementable," and able to survive trading costs.
The guys then switch to beta. Larry mentions how valuations have been rising over the last century. He references how CAPE has risen over a long period, and points out how some people believe this signifies a bubble. But Larry thinks this rising valuation is reasonable, and tells us why. Meb adds that investors are willing to pay a higher multiple on stocks in low-interest rate environments such as the one we're in.Next, Meb directs the conversation toward a sacred cow of investing – dividends. He asks about one particular quote from Larry's book: "Dividends are not a factor." Larry pulls no punches, saying, "there is literally no logical reason for anyone to have a preference for dividends…" He believes investors over overpaying for dividend stocks today. He thinks it's unfortunate the Fed has pushed investors to search for yield, inadvertently taking on far more risk. Dividend stocks are not alternatives to safe income. There's plenty more on this topic you'll want to hear.

Well, that was Carl Icahn's take on today, he didn't even show up.I was there and blogged about it, http://www.semiwiki.com/forum/content/532-shakeup-mentor-graphics.html
A key consideration is revenue per product. If product range grows faster than revenue, then revenue per product is falling and this makes less money available for product development. In such a case eventually, the product will loose out to competition.
There was rumors around the victory of Icahn but now it is confirmed that my favorite group has more power when it comes to graphics. I am running windows faced dll file error but I read online blog which helped me step by step to resolve the issue.

Opposite the house is a gate leading on to the town's famous water meadows, a protected site supervised by the Sudbury Common Lands' ranger and his team. The water meadows surround the town on the south and west. There are numerous very pleasant, undemanding walks criss-crossing the meadows and the abandoned railway track.
Sudbury itself is an ancient market town with many very old buildings, including three splendid medieval churches and a number of houses dating back to Tudor times. A museum dedicated to the painter Thomas Gainsborough, who was born in Sudbury, is situated in the town. The town also has a very fine variety of shops and eating places. Its busy market operates on Thursdays and Saturdays and attracts many folk from the surrounding villages.
Sudbury provides easy access to a large number of picturesque villages, many of which are within ten miles of the town – Long Melford, well-known for its large number of antique shops, Castle Hedingham, with its magnificent Norman keep, Cavendish with its picture-postcard green and Suffolk-pink thatched cottages, Clare, with its beautiful church, Lavenham, famous for its beautiful preserved medieval buildings, especially the Guildhall, Kersey renowned for its ford across the road through the village – to name but a few! This area of south Suffolk and north Essex is rural England at its most peaceful and gentle.
Slightly further afield but still within easy driving distance, are the principal East Anglian towns of Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Colchester and Ipswich.
If open country is more to your liking, then Constable country, centred on Dedham, with Flatford Mill close by, provides the essence of the idyllic English countryside. The coast, with Clacton, Frinton, Walton on the Naze, Dovercourt and many other charming smaller resorts is just over an hour's drive away.

A small gift for you in today's walk.
The Labyrinth tends to question as well as answer, powered by our input and association. Given that January is the fresh new face of the year, it is a time when many think of it as a time to begin again. Asking questions is a good way to put some reality into desire and make the effort worthwhile with better results as it creates an awareness that makes us more present to what we wish to do.
One simple way to use the labyrinth is to ask the questions of anything you desire to know more truth in and using each circuit to move from the surface level question to the more indepth and gut level questions we want to ask. The labyrinth becomes a gentle way to allow us the time and the pace to move closer to that truth with each circuit as we come into the center or the hear of the matter.
In your walk today, ask the questions of your mind and begin each question with the words "Am I…". Follow each circuit with your question and when you are ready to move inward to a new circuit, ask another question that begins with "Am I…" and continue your way in this manner to the center. As you move inward feel more intensity in what you question.
Breathe into those questions and when you do arrive in the center note how you feel having asked honestly. Know that the center of all holds your truth and that you can now reframe those questions as answers by simply stating the question again though now using the powerful "I AM…." at the beginning and following with your new sentence and statement.
Allow yourself patience with this process and be observant with noting how your questions become your answers and puts you on a path of peace and possibility. Notice how it teaches us to become our questions and go within to find that the answers are already there.
The truth is always open to us when we ask to see it and sometimes we have to play with our mind a bit to allow ourselves to see it.

Roger Penske told reporters this weekend that his team will not switch to Toyota next season.
"Our Dodge commitment is a long-term contract," said Penske. "I read in the paper where we're switching to Toyota. We haven't even talked to them about it. We've got to honor the commitments that we have."
Penske said he will field at least two Nextel Cup Series Dodges next season, with the door still open on the possibility of a third team. "We've looked at whether we'd run an additional car, but we haven't made any commitment on it at this point," he said. "We've got a lot of moving parts right now. I'm not committing to a third team at this point, at all."
And finally, Penske expressed supprt for driver Kurt Busch in the aftermath of last week's pit road incident that saw Busch fined $100,000 and docked 100 championship points. Penske said, "I looked at what happened last weekend, and the biggest disappointment I have is that I wasn't there to maybe keep that situation from happening."
He said he and Busch met with team executives last week to discuss the situation, and its impact on the team.
Waltrip Rumor Mill Smoking: Michael Waltrip failed to qualify at Pocono, making it 12 DNQs in 14 races this season, and adding more fuel to the fires of speculation surrounding his team.
Unconfirmed reports continue to circulate about Waltrip refunding between $300,000 and $400,000 per missed race to his sponsor, NAPA Auto Parts, and about the unhappiness of Dale Jarrett's sponsor, UPS. Jarrett also failed to make Sunday's race -- his third DNQ in the last five events -- and there is talk in the Nextel Cup garage that he could be released by MWR, or moved to another operation.
As a team, Waltrip, Jarrett and rookie David Reutimann have qualified just 22 times in 42 attempts this season.
Pocono Re-Signs For 2008: Pocono Raceway has fended off the Doomsday predictions for at least another year, after CEO Dr. Joe Mattioli signed a sanctioning agreement with NASCAR this weekend for two NASCAR Nextel Cup races there next season.
Mattioli said he signed the papers without reading them -- continuing a decades-long tradition -- after asking the same question of NASCAR officials that he asks each year. "I asked them, `Are you going to treat me like everybody else? Look me in the eye. I never read (the agreements). These people made us all millionaires. Never once in 35 years was I led wrong. Never.'"
