P-3K2 Radar
The successful signing of a radar simulator procurement contract between Beca Applied Technologies and the Royal New Zealand Air Force has been announced by the RNZAF Capability Directorate.
The P-3K2 Orion radar trainer acquisition was endorsed by former Assistant Chief of Air Force Capability, Group Captain Tony Davies, and Beca Applied Technologies General Manager, Mr Thomas Hyde, at the recent Defence Industry Conference in Wellington.
The radar trainer is designed to simulate the ELTA 2022 radar fitted to the P-3K2 Orion and will be used to prepare ab-initio radar operator students for whole-of-crew integration and flying training.
The radar trainer design is based on a development of the P-3K Orion upgrade project training system, for which Beca Applied Technologies already provide support as an established long term partner.
Assimilation with existing training resources will permit the radar trainer to operate using the same controls and displays as the aircraft, which is important for supporting efficient and high value training. In addition to this, upgrades to the radar trainer can be easily harmonised with improvements made to the aircraft, which means the simulation has the potential to remain effective throughout the complete P-3K2 Orion operational life cycle.
The radar trainer will consist of six student workstations and three controlling instructor operator stations, similar to the illustrated concept drawing.
The design includes a comprehensive training scenario development capability for creating, managing and delivering realistic training exercises using a wide range of vehicles and environmental conditions.
All key P-3K2 Orion radar functions and characteristics have been included in the radar trainer design specification, which supports the achievement of high training standards and effective preparation for operating the real radar in the air.
The development of the radar trainer has been rapid since the contract signing, with the preliminary design review already successfully completed.
Delivery to the P-3K2 Orion Training Design Team is scheduled for late 2010, when the radar trainer will be integrated into P-3K2 Orion Squadron transition and operational conversion training courses.

Initially, I focused on the academic content producers of research articles when I first read on this topic, whereby open access to these online materials has made information more easily accessible, especially for people who have limited capital or under any other socio-economic factors such as age, gender and race. Below are some of the advantages to open access:
This video below will help you better understand the concept of Open Education Resources (OER's) and how it has change the way of learning.
I am definitely supportive of open access to academic content because it has a greater advantage to the society at large. I believe that underprivileged people should be given education even if they cannot afford it. However, like everything in life, there is always a good side and a bad side.
The disadvantages to open access publication are that authors, perhaps through their employer or a research grant, is responsible to cover the costs of publication. This discourages them from going open access. If everything is free online, what does the researcher or publisher earn for a living? Unlike reputable publishers who does not have this problem, there is a lack of quality control in open access journals. As publishers' revenue comes from publication fees, they are motivated to publish more articles to cover their cost and earn more revenue. Thus, having a negative impact on the overall quality. Lastly, there were arguments that traditional paid access models ensure publishers are adequately compensated for the substantial role they play, yet, there is no validation if the open access models can sustainably support the research publication infrastructure in the long term.
On further contemplation, I realised that content producer of any creative or original are also exposed to similar advantages and disadvantages. For example in the Music industry, with the current technology, it is easy to download the songs you like for free anywhere. People are starting to expect music to be downloaded for free. Despite the contrary, I feel that music is not an entitlement. Artists should be paid. As a music lover myself, I purchase and collect albums to show my support to the artists, so should all music lovers out there.
It is impossible to hunt and shut down all music download websites or apps, but what I think the artists can do is to get copyrights and license to their work, so they can collect royalties for the music they composed. Same to all content producers, if you feel that your work has a certain quality and value that can appeal to a large audience, you should not feel obliged to make it 'free for all'.

NCAA tournament team previews: Harvard Crimson
Wesley Saunders helped Harvard get past New Mexico in an upset win in last year's NCAA tournament. (Rick Bowmer/AP)
As part of its preview of the 2014 NCAA men's basketball tournament, SI.com is taking a look at all 68 teams in the field. RPI and SOS data from realtimerpi.com. Adjusted offense and defense are from kenpom.com and measure the number of points scored and allowed per 100 possessions, and the team's national rank. For more teams, click here.
Record: 26-4, 13-1 in Ivy League
Adjusted Offense / Adjusted Defense: 111.2 (56th), 96.3 (35th)
Seed: No. 12 in East
Impact player: Wesley Saunders, junior forward. 14.0 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 3.9 apg, 1.7 spg.
The Case For:
The Crimson, per the kenpom.com rankings, are a top 40-level team, thanks mostly to their defense, which suggests that this is no gimmick underdog relying on bells and whistles to get by. There is something reliable about Harvard, not least its resolve: Faced with a chance to clinch a third straight NCAA tournament bid on the road – or have things muddied up going into the final day of the regular season – the Crimson dismantled second-place Yale in New Haven.
Another reason for Harvard fans to feel good: The Crimson won an NCAA tournament game a year ago, upending No. 3-seed New Mexico. This year's team beat major-conference foes Boston College and TCU and regular-season champions of the Horizon (Wisconsin-Green Bay) and Patriot (Boston University) leagues, and only lost at Colorado by eight. In other words, the Crimson won't be cowed by whichever team they face.
Harvard can shoot from deep (an Ivy League-best 38.7 percent from 3) and takes care of the ball (1.26 assist-to-turnover ratio) while being disruptive of opponents (7.8 steals per game). Five players average double-digit scoring, led by Wesley Saunders and Siyani Chambers (11.1 ppg), so head coach Tommy Amaker will have multiple threats on the floor at any time.
The Case Against:
It sounds like some basketball snobbery, but this is an Ivy League team. And the closest thing Harvard came to a true statement victory was a five-point loss to Connecticut, which wound up as the No. 5 seed in its own conference tournament.
The Crimson are not a terrific rebounding team, ranking just inside the top 100 for defensive rebounding percentage and outside the top 100 for offensive rebounding percentage. Considering they have just one regular – sophomore Evan Cummins, who plays just 10 minutes per game – as tall as 6-foot-9, that could hurt them against bigger competition.
SI prediction: Beat Cincinnati in second round, lose to Michigan State in third round

Inside Teaching: How Classroom Life Undermines Reform
reviewed by Joan Y. Pedro - April 26, 2007
Title: Inside Teaching: How Classroom Life Undermines Reform
Author(s): Mary M. Kennedy
Publisher: Harvard University Press, Cambridge
ISBN: 0674022459 , Pages: 288, Year: 2006
Search for book at Amazon.com
Mary Kennedy has produced a very interesting and thought-provoking book which captures the heart of teaching and the many drawbacks that teachers encounter in the classroom. The main aim of this book is to portray the way teaching really looks and to learn why reform efforts are not generally successful. Kennedy puts forth the notion that teachers are aware of reform efforts but that they are so burdened with the everyday orchestration of teaching and learning that reform is not always at the forefront of their thinking or practice. Kennedy carefully and in a very powerful way has produced research on teaching that is valuable in this age of reform, and which represents the constant struggle faced by educators as they seek to balance high-quality instructional practices with external calls for accountability that often come from corporate and public leaders (Begley & Stefkovich, 2004).

The blog entry opens with the following:
It comes as no surprise that people cheat on their taxes. There is a rich literature discussing tax noncompliance, analyzing its causes and discussing ways that the government can deter, detect and if necessary sanction those who would cheat or help others cheat. I too have contributed to the discussion, primarily considering the role that commercial preparers play in decisions to comply with our tax laws in research reports commissioned by the Taxpayer Advocate Service and made part of the National Taxpayer Advocate Reports to Congress in 2007 and 2008.The blog entry then follows with some very interesting insight and research on cheating and how the findings of this research can be deployed by increasing visibility in tax settings. I particularly commend to readers the Halloween research study. Visibility is enhanced through information reporting and the IRS's return preparer initiatives, one facet of which is in play in the recent Loving case now on appeal to the D.C. Circuit.

Erika was a wonderfully accommodating host, made sure everything ran smoothly and even let me stay a few extra days when my booking ran out. Highly recommended!
Very pleased.
Location and Services
If there's one thing special about the suburb of Randwick, it is home to four hospitals located within a campus. Various industries and businesses also thrive in this eastern suburb of Sydney.
Quality medical care is immediately available to around 140,660 people in Randwick. The hospital campus is a complete and extensive aggrupation of establishments dotting its periphery. In it are cafes and restaurants, churches, a cinema, a convenience store, a library, a police station, parks, shopping centres, a supermarket and just about anything that can be of service to a Randwick local or traveller. Two of the four hospitals in the campus are Randwick Children's Hospital and the Prince of Wales Hospital, Randwick.
Situated on High Street, Randwick, New South Wales, the Sydney Children's Hospital or Randwick Children's Hospital is one of Australia's leading public hospitals that treat seriously ill and injured children across New South Wales and other parts of Australia. With its more than 100-bed capacity, the hospital boasts of the best facilities and doctor specializations in Sydney. Its physicians specialise in the care of children with serious conditions like cancer, heart problems, severe burns, and HIV/AIDS, as well as those who require organ, bone marrow, or cord blood transplants.
The Prince of Wales Hospital Randwick, on the other hand, is located on Barker Street, near Randwick Children's Hospital. Unlike the latter, however, Prince of Wales Hospital specializes in neurosurgery, spinal surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, spinal surgery, endovascular surgery, interventional neuroradiology, general surgery, liver surgery, orthopaedics, general medicine, maternity and paediatrics. Prince of Wales Hospital Randwick has dedicated units for day surgery, coronary care, and ICU. Moreover, the hospital has 168 overnight beds to serve patients.
Visitor Parking Options
Visitor parking for the Prince of Wales Hospital, Randwick and Randwick Children's Hospital is at the Randwick campus, which you can get to via Metro Parking. It is open 24/7, 365 days a year. Entrance to the car park is by the roundabout on Barker Street. From the carpark, take the lifts at the back of the carpark, Level 0. To find your way to the Sydney Children's Hospital, you have to pass through the main doors of the Prince of Wales Campus Centre first.
The parking rates are at $4.60 for the first half hour up to $28 for the daily charge. Metro Parking also has casual rates per entry for transients. Parking spaces that bear the PERMIT HOLDERS ONLY signage are for staff permit holders only and are restricted to guest parking. Privately-owned parking and cheap parking spaces are also available around the campus, if you know where to look.
Long-Term Stay Parking Options
Concession rates are free for the first three hours and start at $5.40 for 24 hours. A three-day ticket with multiple entries and exits costs $10.90 while a seven-day ticket is worth $21.70.

These are also available for health promotion education class participants and cardiac rehabilitation education and exercise class attendees.
For guests and staff, long-term stay parking options are available at $84 for a five-day visitor pass at Metro Parking.
Staff Parking Options
Hospital staff members who work within the campus can either avail of free parking or cheap parking garages around the Prince of Wales campus, or they can opt to just pay for a parking spot in the establishment they are working for within the campus. The fees levied on employees or staff are standardised, according to the car park development policy that is implemented in the whole campus as well as in other hospitals in Australia.
Out-Of-The-Box Option
Hospital visitors and staff can pick a suitable parking option that fits their budget and lifestyle. Finding a parking spot, however, is more challenging for patients and their family members or friends who are already emotionally and financially burdened.
One reasonable option is available to help patients, guests, and staff secure long-term parking near the campus. Instead of the hourly, daily and multi-daily rates, and concessions, a staff or a hospital visitor can avail of the Parkhound option.
In Randwick, there are a lot of Parkhound spaces you can choose from, with rates ranging from $161 a month to $316 a month.
Rates depend on the quality, size, and safety of the location, so you can be rest assured that your vehicle is well within protected reach.
Through Parkhound, owners of spaces in the Randwick area can also lease their property to drivers who require extended time to stay in the hospital campus. Check out how Parkhound works!

Chapel & Tomb of St. Philip Neri, Chiesa Nuova, Rome
Podcast of the Readings for All Saints Day via the USCCB
Late yesterday, word began to come of a "bloodbath" during Mass at Baghdad's Syrian-Catholic cathedral. Details are still emerging; it portends nothing good:
The terrorists, some wearing suicide vests, had taken over 120 faithful hostage at the Syriac Catholic Church of Our Lady of Salvation, one of Baghdad's largest, during Sunday mass and demanded the release of al Qaeda prisoners in Iraq and Egypt. "This tragedy represents a new and terrifying change in strategy by terrorists" said an anonymous source from the Catholic community in Baghdad, "it means all Christian parishes in Iraq are in danger". An Iraqi affiliate of Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack. It said in a statement posted on radical Islamic websites that it was an action against the Coptic church in Egypt.
The pope has denounced the attack:
Benedict said he was praying for the victims "of this absurd violence, made more ferocious because it was directed against unarmed people gathered in the house of God."
More on the attack here. It seems 3 priests were killed
Last night a visit from a friend prompted a look at pictures from our recent trip to Rome, where we are reminded of the martyrs who helped to build the church.
St. Bartholomew, Apostle, Martyr, (Basilica St. John Lateran)
Even today, in Vietnam and Africa, in the Middle East and elsewhere, people suffer for their faith, while Western Civilization has so lost sight of the disciplines of prayer and fasting and the integration of the life of faith into each act of each day, that it does not surprise us to read stories about Western women finding liberation in the hijab, and daily prayer times.
Lynne Ali remembers the night this hit home for her. 'I went to an old friend's 21st birthday party in a bar,' she reveals. 'I walked in, wearing my hijab and modest clothing, and saw how everyone else had so much flesh on display. They were drunk, slurring their words and dancing provocatively.
'For the first time, I could see my former life with an outsider's eyes, and I knew I could never go back to that.
'I am so grateful I found my escape route. This is the real me — I am happy to pray five times a day and take classes at the mosque. I am no longer a slave to a broken society and its expectations.'
Catholic lay people have always had the Liturgy of the Hours, which bring us to formal prayer throughout the day; we have always had modesty. Sadly these women seem not to know that, either because we have not taught it or because Christianity has become so watered-down that there is no understanding of the Christian spirituality commensurate with what they are looking for.More on that from the experts:
"He who really wishes to become a saint must never defend himself, except in a few rare cases, but always acknowledge himself in fault, even when what is alleged against him is untrue. . . .What we know of the virtues of the saints is the least part of them."
— St. Philip Neri
What God wants most of all for each one of you is that you should become holy. He loves you much more than you could ever begin to imagine, and he wants the very best for you. And by far the best thing for you is to grow in holiness. . . . When I invite you to become saints, I am asking you not to be content with second best. I am asking you not to pursue one limited goal and ignore all the others. Having money makes it possible to be generous and to do good in the world, but on its own, it is not enough to make us happy. Being highly skilled in some activity or profession is good, but it will not satisfy us unless we aim for something greater still. It might make us famous, but it will not make us happy. Happiness is something we all want, but one of the great tragedies in this world is that so many people never find it, because they look for it in the wrong places. The key to it is very simple – true happiness is to be found in God. We need to have the courage to place our deepest hopes in God alone, not in money, in a career, in worldly success, or in our relationships with others, but in God. Only he can satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts.
— Pope Benedict XVI, during his recent trip to the UK, cited here, via here

In a recent announcement, President Obama reduces the time that federal agencies can take to pay small businesses for their products and services from 30 days to 15 days. This "QuickPay" announcement receives the support of SBA administrator Karen Mills; however, a reduction in payment time will not necessarily create more jobs or flow down to subcontractors. In the short-run, Obama's "QuickPay" announcement will increase interest cost savings for a small percentage of larger government contractors who finance their receivables. Although Obama's announcement will increase the velocity of cash flow, it will not help to improve the job market for unemployed Americans.
Obama's initiation of QuickPay will create some new jobs, but history indicates that meaningful job creation comes from meaningful capital infusion into start-up businesses or expanding businesses. Therefore, general policies, like QuickPay, that do not explicitly focus on job creation will not create benefits for a substantial amount of people. In order to create jobs for a greater amount of people,
BoeFly suggests that the administration reinstate a variation of SBA's wildly successful 90 percent guarantee used during the previous stimulus program. To promote job creation, the SBA should offer the 90 percent guarantee to businesses that can demonstrate job creation.
The SBA can promote the job creation requirement by providing for rate increases or guaranteeing fee surcharges for failure to comply. BoeFly's small business loan experts recommend that the 90 percent guarantee for job creation remain in place until the unemployment rate reaches or drops below 8 percent during a six-month period.
Although the President and Congress often disagree, they both recognize the need to create more jobs for Americans. BoeFly's proposal focuses on the jobs that start-up businesses create when financing is secured. BoeFly's proposal incentivizes start-up businesses that create jobs, which creates higher revenues for franchisors and a lower unemployment rate. Without increasing small business deficits, BoeFly's proposal will create more jobs for more Americans.

Tons of fun with eye-tracking of #Articulate resources #edtech #uoltech
Another day, another project and another thing learned, as they say ;). Alina (it's so good to have clever family, I'm telling you!) has very kindly showed me quickly how very cool an eye-tracking system is. After a rapid calibration procedure, you're up and running (although, I have to say, it's hard to keep a straight face at first, especially if you've seen the movie Wall-E – see photo below to get what I mean).
What I was curious to see is how the eye-tracker would interpret my browsing an Articulate web resource, and I was very impressed by the result (although we didn't even use it to its full functionality – e.g. we didn't connect a webcam and mic to see me in a picture-in-picture format as I was browsing, as well as hear any comments that I may have made). So here is a 1-minute silent movie while I was browsing a resource created for the National Network for Interpreting.
Another clever thing that Alina's eye-tracker does (Tobii X120 – I thought you may appreciate this info, so I did ask ;)) is to generate heat maps. These maps represent graphically how long you have been staring at various areas of the screen – a red area is one which you've been looking at quite a bit, while green ones are those you glanced over. Very cool, and the applications for e-learning are quite significant, as Alina's project will show (on this page, Alina appears in the 2010-2011 University of Leeds Teaching Fellows tab).
Will post more when the results are starting to come through, or you can get in touch with Alina directly – she's @gr82tweet.

Sometimes we are tempted to view certain individuals around us as "lost causes," too far gone or too hardened to ever be reached by the gospel. Charlie* was such a man. Hearing how his life has played out, one would be tempted to think that there was no hope for him. He was a drunk and suffered from depression. Occasionally, he would explode into a fit of angry violence. And he was serving a long, long sentence in a maximum security prison for a double murder. Can there be hope for such a man?
Category: Prison Ministry
Prison ministry: I know I've broken all ten commandments
As Philip* walks down the corridor lit by harsh fluorescent lights, he quickly prays to prepare himself for what lies ahead. The prison guards are expressionless as they check him and his belongings. Satisfied that he is clean, they open the heavy gate and let him through.
Another guard leads the way. Philip knows his way around the prison but understands this is protocol. In this higher security facility, Philip is not allowed to bring in any books, papers or visual aids. All he has is what's in his head and the set of DVDs he is carrying with him.
He is ushered into a spartan room with tables and chairs. At the front is a TV set and DVD player which he quickly sets up. Before too long, a door on the far end of the room opens, and inmates shuffle into the room. Philip looks up and smiles broadly at them. They smile back.
"Hello again," he greets them. "Shall we continue with our study?"
Continue reading "Prison ministry: I know I've broken all ten commandments"
Stitching together the story of hope
Stacy* looked around the room. It was filled with women who were recovering addicts. Behind the expectant faces were stories of poor choices, wrong turns and heartaches of every kind. Stacy wasn't sure why each of them had ended up in this room with her. But each lady had before her scraps of cloth, thread, and other materials. Today, they were gathered to learn quilting. As well, they were about to learn what God had to say about life, death, and life after death.
About four years earlier, Stacy had attended a GoodSeed TERM Seminar. There, she had been thrilled to learn a simple, clear and effective way to share the gospel. She had journeyed through By This Name and, since then, had been waiting for God to show her how she could share the good news with others.
An ambassador in chains
Rick* has been a believer for many years and he is serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit. But Rick is not letting his time in prison go to waste. Rather, he has led a number of fellow inmates to faith in Christ and is currently discipling a group of men. As he actively engages others in conversation who are struggling with complex questions and issues in their lives, Rick has been on a lookout for materials that will enable him to give clear, biblical answers. Most of these men know very little about the Bible and some also struggle with learning difficulties—adding to the challenge facing Rick.
His sister Justine* recently attended a TERM Seminar. She began sharing with Rick how GoodSeed tools were designed for those who were biblically illiterate. She also described how visual aids were a significant part of the teaching and how their use would help those with learning challenges grasp the central message of the Bible.
The gospel smashed into my heart
Out of the blue, we received a phone call last week. It was from a gentleman named Manuel* who lives in the US. He said he was prompted by God to share his story with us.
Manuel related that he became a believer 30 years ago but his life took a dramatic turn when he attended one of our TERM Seminars in Idaho. He was brought through The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus and he said he really "bumped into the meaning of God." He fell in love with the book and sought to use it to explain the gospel to others.
His first two students were his mum and dad. They were impacted by the message. His dad said the gospel "smashed into my heart" and made him realize how much of a sinner he was.

It's been busy few weeks here. I've started a long term substitute teaching job at YCIS (an international school in Shanghai) teaching Computer Technology to kids in 1-3 grade. It's a fun job so no complaints there.
The hardest thing is my crazy mornings. Trying to get 3 kids on the bus and then get myself ready is a difficult feat. I seriously give all you working moms out there so much credit for being able to do this day in and day out. At first I would try to get ready and leave the house with the kids, but I was arriving at school too early and my mornings were a disaster. Now, I send the kids off at 7:25, then get myself ready and bike to school.
The mornings are much smoother.
My mornings are much happier now.
Now that I have the schedule worked out, I am left with one other dilemma. Breakfasts. I tend to grab an apple and piece of cheese, but after 2 weeks of that, I'm done with apples and cheese. I'm in the mood for something more refreshing…. like a morning smoothie, with homemade Laban and fresh vegetables. So I did what any other hungry person would do, I stood in front of the refrigerator, checking out which fruits I had to toss into the blender.
Dragonfruit? Sounds good.
Blueberries? I have about 10 pounds in my freezer so sure!
Ripe Bananas? Good way to get the sweetness without the refined sugar.
With what I had it appears this smoothie will invoke it's inner Prince and be a purple concoction. I was set… or was I?
I had one other purple item in my produce drawer. Not a fruit. Not by a long shot.
Red Cabbage. Do I dare?
Could I add red cabbage to it? Would the flavour be cabbage-y and gross? I wasn't sure but I was about to find out!
I added about a fourth of a head, sliced thin, to the blender and let it blend away until I was left with Purple Rain!
I couldn't believe it! No hint of cabbage. At all. I even taste tested this on my kids and nephew as well as my friend Suzanne.
It tasted delicious and because it was so pretty and purple no one assumed there was anything in here that would raise eyebrows. Since the cabbage, dragonfruit and blueberries are not very sweet, you are relying on the ripe banana and honey to give this drink the sweetness that it needs.
If your bananas aren't very ripe (mine were not), you'll want to use up to 1/4 cup of honey. I started with 2 tablespoons and found that it wasn't sweet enough, so I added a couple more tablespoonfuls and voila…
Purple Rain Smoothie!
Serves 4
A drink so good, that I bet your family will never guess you added cabbage to the smoothie!
5Prep Time

I got this straight from the horse's mouth -- no, really. I was walking down 14th Street on Sunday and saw a guy wearing a horse costume -- one of those funny horse masks and a fuzzy costume. He was passing out flyers for the The Tribe Winterfest at the Gala Theatre, which includes a lot of different musical acts: piano, rap, avant-garde funk, rock, electronic dance music, and more. If there's a horse mask involved, it must be a pretty fun.
The event was organized by a band called the Prime Tribe, hence the name, and they're also the headliners. There's also going to be food and drinks. Sounds interesting.
You can buy tickets here and hear more from the Prime Tribe here.

What we know
Children and young people who become involved in the criminal justice system present a complex task for family, community service providers and government. When working with young people, the justice system requires a balance between a justice and rehabilitation response, delivered within a family and community context.
The most recent report on Youth Justice in Australia is available on the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare website, which provides evidence to inform key areas for actions.
Due to the statutory nature of the Youth Justice service delivery model, efforts are limited by the length of time the young person is on a supervised justice mandate. Connected services across the youth justice system, including early intervention, diversion and reconnection to community activities, provide opportunities to strengthen supports available for vulnerable young people.
The Connections Map has been developed to show the complex challenges facing vulnerable young people, and the supports, agencies, and partners in place to encourage and assist them toward a path of growth, and away from the youth justice system.Page last updated : 04 Dec 2019

Today was Bhutan day at the Floriade 2012 floral exhibition in Venlo, the Netherlands. A day underlining the message of Gross National Happiness as advocated by the king of Bhutan and his vasals like Jigme Thinley, the prime minister who are both responsible for the ethnic cleansing in the early ninetees in Bhutan.
Early April our queen Beatrix visited the Bhutan pavillion on the floriade to consume the lie. No mention then and no mention today about the continuous human rights violations by the Bhutanese government. No mention about political prisoners, violence against the Bhutanese citizens, the abuse of civil and human rights.
Of course not.
Because like Mrs. Happiness Netherlands, Erica Terpstra (ex sporter, ex politician and derailed public figure), the local Rotary club, the many companies involved in trade with Bhutan, the Floriade organization and the royal family, do not want to know or hear about what happened in the early ninetees of the past century and what is still happening regarding the fate of the Bhutanese people living in the south and east of that country.
The Floriade is a money (greed) driven event where companies promote themselves in a socially acceptable manner. And so, all the people passing through the Bhutan pavillion and all the companies involved, prefer positive-only information. The receivers are switched off, the ears closed and the eyes blinded. Be positive, be the change, be this and be that, be positive and be happy, that is what it is all about in this positiveness show.
In another place on the globe tens of thousands of Bhutanese still suffer hardship in camps. With too littje food, a lack of adequate healthcare, hostility from the surrounding community, without rights, without citizenship, be stateless, poor and driven away from their motherland over twenty years ago. By force, at gunpoint and as a result of threats, abuse, torture and even murder.
In yet another place on the globe (actually many other places of the globe) people live who have been resettled and who have suffered the exile, the camp life and the hardship. And who have been enabled to start a new life elsewhere. Away from their country and region, their culture and their friends and even their families. Living in diaspora. They are the ones who are not seen at the commercialized Floriade event. They are the ones who are not seen by our queen or our crown prince who prefers to shoot bows and arrows with his Bhutanese counterpart. They are the ones without the voices and without the faces, without the power to stand up.
And it is them who we care about. The fact that their situation is largely unknown in the misinformed western world is the reason why we do our work. Why we make our film, have published our books and exhibit our photos. To advocate their rights to be like we are, human beings with their own place under the sun and the same rights as anyone else.
Come visit our exhibition in the Domchurch and buy our books. Help us to tell their story and capture their history, help us to not forget them and help us to delete the myth of gross national happiness!

Learning Together
To purchase an electronic edition of this book click the button above or visit:
Winner of the 1991 Critics' Choice Award from the American Educational Studies Association
Winner of the 1991 Outstanding Book Award from the American Educational Research Association
Now available in paperback, this award-winning book provides a comprehensive history of gender policies and practices in American public schools. David Tyack and Elisabeth Hansot explore the many factors that have shaped coeducation since its origins. At the very time that Americans were creating separate spheres for adult men and women, they institutionalized an education system that brought boys and girls together. How did beliefs about the similarities and differences of boys and girls shape policy and practice in schools? To what degree did the treatment of boys and girls differ by class, race, region, and historical period? Debates over gender policies suggest that American have made public education the repository of their hopes and anxieties about relationships between the sexes. Thus, the history of coeducation serves as a window not only on constancy and change in gender practices in the schools but also on cultural conflicts about gender in the broader society.
"Learning Together presents a rich and exhaustive search through [the] 'tangled history' of gender and education that links both the silences and the debates surrounding coeducation to the changing roles of women and men in our society....It is the generosity and capaciousness of Tyack and Hansot's scholarship that makes Learning Together so important a book." —Science
DAVID TYACK is Vida Jacks Professor of Education at Stanford University.
ELISABETH HANSOT is senior lecturer in political science at Stanford University.


text: Congressmen Luis Gutierrez on Saturday endorsed progressive Democrat and community advocate Delia Ramirez to be the next representative of the 4th House District. "Let me put it simply: Delia is rooted and ready," Rep. Gutierrez said Saturday at Nellie's Restaurant, a Division Street diner. "As a fellow Humboldt Park resident, I can say she is not merely committed to the district but also is formed by her servant leadership, grounded by her compassion and well-equipped to tackle the challenges that await her in Springfield." Delia was drafted this spring by residents of the 4th House District to run for the open seat being vacated by path-breaking state Rep. Cynthia Soto, who is retiring. "As a longtime leader in the Latino community, Congressman Gutierrez has been a courageous example by standing up to the nightmare immigration policies of Republicans and Donald Trump and leading in the fight for relief for Puerto Rico. I am humbled by his endorsement and will work hard to earn it," Delia said, surrounded by supporters. For months her growing organization now with more than 200 volunteers, has actively engaged residents of the diverse Northwest Side district, which combines parts of Hermosa, Humboldt Park, Logan Square, East Village, Ukrainian Village, West Town and Wicker Park.

Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire County Councils are planning to sign a four-year framework deal, for an IT platform and applications provider, worth between £23.5 million and £70.5 million.
The councils are partners in a Local Government Shared Services (LGSS) scheme, which is looking to appoint a supplier for an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform software as a service, ERP platform development, enhancement and optimisation and operational transition support. The supplier may also need to provide software and support for functions within the councils, such as HR, procurement, finance and legal.
According to a contract notice, the framework agreement will be made available to other councils around the country, including Chichester District Council, City of London, Cornwall Council, Herefordshire Council and North Yorkshire County Council.
Last week, seven councils in the South East of England agreed to form a consortium to buy shared services, including IT.
Called the SE7, the consortium, led by Surrey and East Sussex, have a combined annual budget of £3.4 billion.
At the beginning of this year, Lancashire County Council announced that it was looking for suppliers to provide up to £1.9 billion worth of IT services, which would be shared with its 12 borough councils, Cumbria County Council and other local bodies over a ten-year period.

I'm talking to Lehrhaus about teaching a three hour class on making hamsas. It will be in Berkeley in the spring of 2017. Leave me a comment if you want an email as soon as the date is confirmed. Here's my description of the class:
Exploring the Hamsa: A Hands on Workshop
A hamsa, is a stylized hand for protection against the "evil eye," frequently worn as jewelry. Found throughout the Middle East, hamsas are made by both Jews and Muslims but predate either religion. Come learn about the folklore of hamsas and Jewish amulets, as we make them out of paper or fabric. The basics of paper-cutting, a traditional Jewish folk art, will also be taught. No artistic talent is required to make stunning hamsa designs. The finished papercut hamsa can be framed to hang on the wall and a fabric hamsa can become a wall hanging, a challah cover or more.
The hamsa in the photo above is a work in progress. The purple one is fabric, with fusible web on the back. The white one is a piece of scrap paper that I'm figuring out the design on. When I'm done cutting it, I'll trace the design onto the paper side of the fusible web, and cut the fabric with an Exacto knife. This type of hamsa is a "bird hamsa." You can see the eye on the thumb.

Filming up women's skirts is ruled legal
Law doesn't ban voyeurism in public, Supreme Court says
Jolene Jang was standing at an ice-cream booth at the Bite of Seattle festival two summers ago, unaware that a man had secretly lowered his video camera so he could film up her dress.
When she found out, she felt violated and hoped he'd go to prison. She became more leery of others. Now she's appalled that Richard Sorrells, the man found guilty of voyeurism for doing it, is no longer guilty of anything.
On Thursday, the state Supreme Court ruled that filming up women's skirts, though "disgusting and reprehensible," isn't actually against the law.
"I think that's ridiculous," said Jang, now 28, who lives in the Seattle area. "I feel a little bit vulnerable about it being known that it's OK."
The high court unanimously agreed the state's voyeurism law "does not apply to actions taken in purely public places."
It overturned the convictions of Sorrells and another man, Sean Glas, who was accused of taking photographs under women's skirts at a Yakima County shopping mall.
Sorrells already served his two-month sentence in King County Jail. He was court-ordered to undergo treatment for sexual deviancy and "intends to remain in treatment" even though it's no longer required of him, according to his attorney, Ken Sharaga.
Sharaga said the court's decision was correct -- it was what he argued last year, when he unsuccessfully tried to get the case dismissed.
"A citizen has to be warned by clear language in a statute that particular conduct is a crime in order to be punished as a criminal," he said. "Something can be wrong and offensive and still not be a crime."
The state's voyeurism law protects people who are in a place where they "would have a reasonable expectation of privacy" -- meaning the person could expect to be able to undress in seclusion or "be safe from hostile intrusion or surveillance."
But the court found the law doesn't apply to filming people in a public place, even if it's underneath their clothes.
"It is the physical location of the person that is ultimately at issue, not the part of the person's body," Judge Bobbe Bridge wrote.
The court, which also upheld Washington's voyeurism law as constitutional, noted that other states have had similar frustrations.
Two years ago, California changed its law to include a broader range of voyeuristic behavior.
In Washington state, Sen. Jeri Costa, D-Marysville, has for two years pushed a bill that would make it illegal to secretly film someone "under or through the clothing." She said yesterday that she hoped the court's decision would be "an impetus to make this a higher priority."
Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, said he now plans to introduce a bill "unabashedly plagiarizing" California's law. He expects it to pass easily.
"Allowing that behavior to go unpunished is not what anyone in the Legislature has in mind," he said.
King County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Dan Donohoe agreed that Sorrells' behavior was "conduct that should be covered" by the voyeurism statute.
Sorrells was arrested in July 2000 after Jang told police she caught him reaching into her purse at the Bite of Seattle. Jang said she and others chased him, and her boyfriend tackled him.
Sorrells wanted police to know he wasn't a pickpocket.
"I did not have my hand in her purse. I was holding my camera so I could videotape up her dress," he told them. "I'm not a thief -- I'm a peeping Tom."
Investigators say they later examined the tape from the man's camera and found numerous images of women and girls at the crowded Seattle festival. Many were pictures of underwear shot while the camera was on the ground.
In the other case decided yesterday, Glas was arrested for taking pictures up the skirts of two women at a Union Gap mall in April 1999, according to court documents. The women -- one working at Sears, the other at a cart in the mall -- caught him crouching next to them as he snapped photographs using a flash.
Police said Glas planned to sell the pictures to an Internet Web site that focuses on fetishes.
But the Supreme Court ruled that the mall, too, is a public place where "the voyeurism statute, as written, does not prohibit 'upskirt' photography."

I have been desperately practising my calculations courtesy of this Lanarkshire NHS web-site, I have an 80% success rate, unfortunately our pass rate is 100%, whoops. It's the 80kg men requiring mcgms that I can't get my head around, I seem to underdose them, it's the mg/kg/hr that gets me every time, too many variables.
I know we have to be 100% correct with drug calculations. I am also aware when I am unsure and, we always have to check IV, IM and controlled drugs with a colleague. I know, I'm just trying to defend my shortcomings and excuse my inability to make sense of number sequences but, give me a prescription chart and the medication with it's advice sheet and I can work out what the patient requires. There is obviously some vital component missing in my brain which should facilitate successful 'mock' calculations.

The Mount Trilogy continues with Defiant Queen...
I'm his entertainment. His toy. Payment on a debt.
I tell myself I hate him, but every time he walks into the room, my body betrays me. How can I want him and fear him in the same moment?
They told me he'd mess with my head. Make it go to war with my body.
But I didn't realize it would be complete anarchy.
I should've known better. When Mount's involved, there are no rules.
I will not surrender. I will not show weakness. I'll stand my ground and make it out of this bargain with my heart and soul intact.
But he has other plans . . .
Defiant Queen is the second book of the Mount Trilogy and should be read after Ruthless King. Mount and Keira's story concludes in Sinful Empire.

2009-03-24 00:00:00 / World Award
More than 30 environmental ministers at the Award
EU Council President Mirek Topolanék
at last year´s ENERGY GLOBE Award in
The ENERGY GLOBE Award has ultimately established itself as the most prominent environmental award worldwide. After the awards ceremony was conducted the last two years in the EU Parliament in Brussels, its venue this year is the high-caliber meeting of the European elite of environmental policy: At the request of the Czech EU presidency, the ENERGY GLOBE Gala will serve as the opening of the meeting of the European environmental ministers in Prague.
Among the guests at the honoring of the global best environmental projects will be EU Council President Mirek Topolánek, President of the Council of Environmental Ministers Martin Bursík, and naturally Europe's top environmental policy makers. The climate advisor to US President Barack Obama, Carol Browner, is expected as representative of the new US environmental policy. Among the prominent award presenters is EU Commissioner Stavros Dimas. The glamour factor for the TV gala will be provided by international show stars and artists. It has already been announced that French singer Viktor Lazlo will attend and contribute musically to the mood of the after-show party.
Prominent environmental achievements from over 100 nations
The actual stars of the TV gala, however, are the environmental projects from all over the world. For excellent achievements from more than 100 nations, the national ENERGY GLOBE awards will be presented in Prague. From the 15 nominated projects, an international jury selects the global awards in the categories Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Youth. The World Award is chosen by the gala audience live at the event. Who will receive the ENERGY GLOBE awards? The decision will fall on 14 April at the ENERGY GLOBE Gala in the realm of the European meeting of environmental ministers in Prague.
NATIONAL ENERGY GLOBE winners from all over the world in the spotlight
On the day before the grand gala - the evening of April 13 - another splendid ceremony takes place to honor project winners from all over the world for their outstanding sustainable activities with the NATIONAL ENERGY GLOBE Awards. During the 2 hour ceremony project by project will be introduced and winners receive their ENERGY GLOBE certificates from members of the Czech government and other high ranking representatives from environmental organizations.

Television inspires popular fashion trends
Whether is to tune in regularly for the plotline or whether it's to see our favourite actors and actresses, we all have shows we tune in to regularly but do we do it just to see what's happening in Emmerdale, Coronation Street or do we check out the fashion worn by the characters on the show?
Each soap opera and TV show has its own characteristics style and at times this flavour is so dynamic that characters inspire fashion choices. For example when Gossip girl first aired, Blair Waldorf headbands took the country by
Making waves in fashion with TV is not a new phenomenon, but it's a great way to see what people your particular age wearing, with television characters mirroring people's everyday lives and the clearances as they happen.
So if you're feeling like a bit of a fashion pep up, don't just use the Internet and fashion magazines to find out what's in and what's not, sit with a cuppa and watch the soap operas unfold and maybe you could find your next fashion choice of the week.

It's easy to get lured into a diet by its big promises: Lose 10 Lbs. in a week!
"Look skinny forever, eat all you want and still lose weight!"
The truth, however, is that crash diets don't work — or at least they don't work for the long term or for permanent weight loss.
So how do you know if a diet will work or if it's all hype?
How can you see the red flags and determine which diets are good, and which are bad?
Huge Promises
The bigger the promise, the more likely the diet is a scam — or just a very bad one. If you're told you can lose 10 Lbs. over a single weekend or lose weight three times faster if you buy some special pills, walk away. The truth is that even prescription weight loss pills don't work that fast — simply because it's not possible for your body to burn fat that quickly. If you do manage to lose a large amount of weight over a course of just a few days, it will be just water weight — which basically means, just temporary weight loss.
Very Low in Calories
It doesn't matter how much you currently weigh or how much you need to lose, you should not be eating less than 1,200 calories a day. Some crash diets cut down your calorie intake to as little as 500 calories per day. The results? You feel like you're starving and your cravings for sweets increase — because sugar provides a quick source of energy, which your body desperately needs when you're starving it. Chances are you'll end up binging as soon as you're off the diet.
The "Secret" to Weight Loss

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her book Courtney Love: The Queen of Noise, Melissa Rossi reports that in the mid-1990s "Courtney surrounded herself with a coterie of soothsayers, even approaching hipster stargazer Rob Brezsny, who declined to provide his astrological services." Rossi doesn't explain why I declined, but I'll tell you. Courtney wasn't interested in the kind of information I specialize in. She pressed me to tell her whether her romantic future should be with Trent or Billy, and I urged her to talk about the changes she could make in herself and her life to get clear about what she wanted. She implored me to predict her future, and I prodded her to formulate intelligent questions that would help her create a beautiful and interesting future for herself. I bring this up, Aries, because in the coming weeks I hope you will do what I suggested she try back then.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus actor Pierce Brosnan told Parade magazine how shocking it was to get fired after playing the role of James Bond for four films. But after the initial pain he felt from being rejected, he eventually got to the point where he could say, "I'm free now. I can do anything I want." What helped him recover was conjuring up the proper attitude. "You've got to be a fighting rooster," he said. That's half of my prescription for you in the coming week, Taurus. Be a charismatic warrior as you push to further your highest ideals and brightest desires. Be a stylishly fierce liberator in charge of designing your own freedom. Be a fighting rooster with the heart of an artist.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do you believe in higher love at first sight? How about instant enlightenment? And what about higher love at first sight that brings instant enlightenment, or instant enlightenment that provokes higher love at first sight? These are themes I suspect you'll soon be flirting with, Gemini. In order to get all of the blessings from the lessons they'll offer, you must dispense with your preconceived notions about what they might entail. You've got to wash your own brain so it's nice and clean and empty of expectations.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your creed for the last three months of 2008 comes from Nikos Kazantzakis: "By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired." Memorize this meme, Cancerian. Imprint it on your subconscious mind. Make it so much a part of you that it breathes as you breathe, and dreams as you dream. Allow it to turn you into a magician whose potent desire is as strong as the longings of ten normal people put together.

Two Massachusetts firefighters were injured in a fire at a fire station after a fire truck caught fire early Wednesday.
A fire engine caught fire inside a Mansfield fire station at around 2:40 a.m. and it took crews almost an hour knock down the blaze.
"Getting a call like this certainly gets you up and gets you moving pretty quickly. The biggest concern that we had was with our own members and their life safety," Fire Chief Neal Boldrighini told WJAR News. "Knowing that everybody is OK is our first priority. That being done, the second priority is the logistics of firefighter operations."

The blaze resulted in two firefighters being taken to a hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. The pair were released later Wednesday morning.
"They were up in the living quarters when the smoke detectors went off and the smoke began to fill the second floor," Boldrighini said. "Most of them were able to get on the gear, but those who were in the engine, who were assigned to the engine, their gear has been completely destroyed. So they were still fighting the fire in spite of the fact they had no gear on."
According to The Sun Chronicle, the fire station suffered heavy smoke and water damage in the bay of the building, while medical supplies and equipment were also damaged.

"There is a significant amount of damage within the station, not only to the station, but to the materials that we use, so the engine itself is absolutely decommissioned at this point. It had significant fire damage," the chief said.
The blaze had put one of the town's two ambulances out of service until further notice, according to the newspaper.
As for the fire truck, officials said the vehicle returned to the station around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday after a previous call.
The exact cause of the fire is under investigation.Follow @adamfrisk

Commercial Kitchen Grease Trap Jetting Service
Utah's Black Diamond Experts drain specialists have the tools and the skills to safely and quickly unclog your commercial kitchen and restaurant grease trap drain line.
A grease trap is an important part of a commercial kitchen's plumbing system. Without a grease trap, the fats, oils, and grease from cooking would clog plumbing and sewers and lead to expensive damages, both for you and for the city–which is why they are mandatory. Grease traps have to be cleaned regularly. Many restaurants and commercial kitchens hire out the tedious task of suctioning out the grease and cleaning the trap. But this does not address the grease left behind in the drain line. Most grease trap removal services do not provide drain line cleaning service. Drain line grease can harden and cause a serious blockage shutting down your kitchen sink operations. This is where Black Diamond Experts' drain specialists come in with our grease trap jetting service!
Commercial kitchens and restaurants need routine maintenance to combat grease build-up in their drain lines.
Grease Trap Hydro-jetting is Essential Maintenance
Grease trap hydro-jetting is the essential next step in preventing your drain line from clogging and greatly reduces the chance of having an emergency plumbing call in the middle of a busy kitchen rush. Grease entering your drain line is difficult to avoid in a commercial kitchen, but fortunately, if you keep up on maintenance it won't slow your restaurant down.
Schedule Regular Grease Trap Drain Line Cleaning
We recommend that you have your drain line cleaned at least twice a year with a hot water hydro-jetter. Ideally, you'll want to schedule your drain line cleaning just after you have your grease trap pumped.
Hot Water Hydro-Jetting Prevents and Clears Away Grease Clogs
Few plumbing contractors actually own a hot water hydro-jetter, but when you call Black Diamond Experts you can rest assured that we will bring the "big hot water gun" to get the job done! Our hot water hydro-jetter shoots a highly pressurized water stream at up to 4000 psi at a temperature of 120 degrees. This hot pressurized water scours the insides of the pipe thoroughly clearing away the toughest grease and grime. Hydro-jetting is also safer than using other methods like a drain snake which can cause damage to your pipe, especially if it is older and brittle.
Call to Schedule a Grease Trap Drain Line Cleaning
When you are ready to schedule your commercial kitchen grease trap drain line cleaning, call the drain specialists at Black Diamond today! Avoid the worry and fear of a grease clog and set up a routine schedule of drain cleaning.
Our hot water hydro-jetting service can clear away the grease build up in your commercial kitchen drain line.

The NETWORK for The Core DJ Syndicated Radio Show
2012 was an exciting year for TuneCore, but more importantly, it was a banner year for TuneCore Artists with $101.8 million earned in 2012 alone. Since TuneCore's launch in 2006, 1.8 billion TuneCore Artist digital music units have been downloaded or streamed and TuneCore Artists have earned over $250 million in total from the sales and streams of their music.
"This is what it's all about: giving any artist – those distributing their first release, full-time and part-time musicians, top-named talent – the same opportunity to sell their music anywhere in the world. We at TuneCore pride ourselves on using one of the highest quality music distribution platforms while not taking a penny from artists' music sales," says Scott Ackerman, TuneCore COO.
In examining the TuneCore Artists distribution trends over the past few years, TuneCore saw that some things didn't change—rock, for example, has remained the top-ranked album genre for the past five years. There were, however, notable developments in 2012: TuneCore saw streaming downloads grow over 200% and their Music Publishing Administration business (an integrated song rights management service launched in 2011) showed significant growth, including the recent signing of four new sub-publishing agreements. 2012 also marked the year that TuneCore Japan opened its digital doors.
About TuneCore
TuneCore (http://tunecore.com) is the largest music distributor and has one of the highest revenue-generating music catalogs in the world. Since it's launch in 2006, over 1.8 billion TuneCore Artist units have been downloaded or streamed, which translates to over $250 million in revenue earned by TuneCore Artists.
For a simple flat fee, TuneCore distributes artists' music to iTunes, Spotify, Rdio, Google Play, eMusic, AmazonMP3, Deezer, Simfy and many other major download and streaming sites while taking no rights and no revenue from the sale of the music. TuneCore has more than 849,000 artist and label account holders, ranging from indie artists to high-profile performers including Nine Inch Nails, Drake, Civil Wars, Sonic Youth, Beck, Jay-Z, Aretha Franklin, Keith Richards, Blood On The Dance Floor, Public Enemy, Willie Nelson, They Might Be Giants, Donna Summer, MGM Studios, Moby, Girl Talk & Brian Eno. TuneCore expanded its business internationally by launching TuneCore Canada in 2011 and TuneCore Japan in 2012. TuneCore Music Publishing Administration was introduced in 2011.

Transport Strategy
One of the purposes of a garden village is to create integrated and accessible transport systems, with walking, cycling and public transport designed to be the most attractive forms of local transport.
Longcross Garden Village will have extensive new direct accessible walking and cycling routes across the site while looking to connect existing routes to the network.
Crest Nicholson and Aviva Investors are also working with Network Rail and South Western Railways to improve the service at Longcross. The number of trains have already increased from 12 to 27 services in recent months and it is understood that South Western Railway has now submitted proposals to increase this to 35 trains in May 2019.
For car movement, the project team have extensively surveyed the area are currently working on what improvements can be made such as speed restrictions and improved junctions from the access onto Longcross Road.
Crest Nicholson and Aviva Investors are looking at all possibilities regarding transport.
Should you have any further questions regarding transport, please get in touch.
