Azure Functions scale and hosting
When you create a function app in Azure, you must choose a hosting plan for your app. There are three hosting plans available for Azure Functions: Consumption plan, Premium plan, and Dedicated (App Service) plan.
The hosting plan you choose dictates the following behaviors:
- How your function app is scaled.
- The resources available to each function app instance.
- Support for advanced features, such as Azure Virtual Network connectivity.
Both Consumption and Premium plans automatically add compute power when your code is running. Your app is scaled out when needed to handle load, and scaled in when code stops running. For the Consumption plan, you also don't have to pay for idle VMs or reserve capacity in advance.
Premium plan provides additional features, such as premium compute instances, the ability to keep instances warm indefinitely, and VNet connectivity.
App Service plan allows you to take advantage of dedicated infrastructure, which you manage. Your function app doesn't scale based on events, which means is never scales in to zero. (Requires that Always on is enabled.)
Hosting plan support
Feature support falls into the following two categories:
- Generally available (GA): fully supported and approved for production use.
- Preview: not yet fully supported nor approved for production use.
The following table indicates the current level of support for the three hosting plans, when running on either Windows or Linux:
|Consumption plan
|Premium plan
|Dedicated plan
Consumption plan
When you're using the Consumption plan, instances of the Azure Functions host are dynamically added and removed based on the number of incoming events. This serverless plan scales automatically, and you're charged for compute resources only when your functions are running. On a Consumption plan, a function execution times out after a configurable period of time.
Billing is based on number of executions, execution time, and memory used. Billing is aggregated across all functions within a function app. For more information, see the Azure Functions pricing page.
The Consumption plan is the default hosting plan and offers the following benefits:
- Pay only when your functions are running
- Scale out automatically, even during periods of high load
Function apps in the same region can be assigned to the same Consumption plan. There's no downside or impact to having multiple apps running in the same Consumption plan. Assigning multiple apps to the same Consumption plan has no impact on resilience, scalability, or reliability of each app.
To learn more about how to estimate costs when running in a Consumption plan, see Understanding Consumption plan costs.
Premium plan
When you're using the Premium plan, instances of the Azure Functions host are added and removed based on the number of incoming events just like the Consumption plan. Premium plan supports the following features:
- Perpetually warm instances to avoid any cold start
- VNet connectivity
- Unlimited execution duration (60 minutes guaranteed)
- Premium instance sizes (one core, two core, and four core instances)
- More predictable pricing
- High-density app allocation for plans with multiple function apps
Information on how you can configure these options can be found in the Azure Functions Premium plan document.
Instead of billing per execution and memory consumed, billing for the Premium plan is based on the number of core seconds and memory used across needed and pre-warmed instances. At least one instance must be warm at all times per plan. This means that there is a minimum monthly cost per active plan, regardless of the number of executions. Keep in mind that all function apps in a Premium plan share pre-warmed and active instances.
Consider the Azure Functions Premium plan in the following situations:
- Your function apps run continuously, or nearly continuously.
- You have a high number of small executions and have a high execution bill but low GB second bill in the Consumption plan.
- You need more CPU or memory options than what is provided by the Consumption plan.
- Your code needs to run longer than the maximum execution time allowed on the Consumption plan.
- You require features that are only available on a Premium plan, such as virtual network connectivity.
When running JavaScript functions on a Premium plan, you should choose an instance that has fewer vCPUs. For more information, see the Choose single-core Premium plans.
Dedicated (App Service) plan
Your function apps can also run on the same dedicated VMs as other App Service apps (Basic, Standard, Premium, and Isolated SKUs).
Consider an App Service plan in the following situations:
- You have existing, underutilized VMs that are already running other App Service instances.
- You want to provide a custom image on which to run your functions.
You pay the same for function apps in an App Service Plan as you would for other App Service resources, like web apps. For details about how the App Service plan works, see the Azure App Service plans in-depth overview.
With an App Service plan, you can manually scale out by adding more VM instances. You can also enable autoscale. For more information, see Scale instance count manually or automatically. You can also scale up by choosing a different App Service plan. For more information, see Scale up an app in Azure.
When running JavaScript functions on an App Service plan, you should choose a plan that has fewer vCPUs. For more information, see Choose single-core App Service plans.
Always On
If you run on an App Service plan, you should enable the Always on setting so that your function app runs correctly. On an App Service plan, the functions runtime goes idle after a few minutes of inactivity, so only HTTP triggers will "wake up" your functions. Always on is available only on an App Service plan. On a Consumption plan, the platform activates function apps automatically.
Function app timeout duration
The timeout duration of a function app is defined by the
functionTimeout property in the host.json project file. The following table shows the default and maximum values in minutes for both plans and the different runtime versions:
|Runtime Version
|App Service
|App Service
|App Service
Regardless of the function app timeout setting, 230 seconds is the maximum amount of time that an HTTP triggered function can take to respond to a request. This is because of the default idle timeout of Azure Load Balancer. For longer processing times, consider using the Durable Functions async pattern or defer the actual work and return an immediate response.
Even with Always On enabled, the execution timeout for individual functions is controlled by the
functionTimeout setting in the host.json project file.
Determine the hosting plan of an existing application
To determine the hosting plan used by your function app, see App Service plan in the Overview tab for the function app in the Azure portal. To see the pricing tier, select the name of the App Service Plan, and then select Properties from the left pane.
You can also use the Azure CLI to determine the plan, as follows:
appServicePlanId=$(az functionapp show --name <my_function_app_name> --resource-group <my_resource_group> --query appServicePlanId --output tsv)
az appservice plan list --query "[?id=='$appServicePlanId'].sku.tier" --output tsv
When the output from this command is
dynamic, your function app is in the Consumption plan. When the output from this command is
ElasticPremium, your function app is in the Premium plan. All other values indicate different tiers of an App Service plan.
Storage account requirements
On any plan, a function app requires a general Azure Storage account, which supports Azure Blob, Queue, Files, and Table storage. This is because Azure Functions relies on Azure Storage for operations such as managing triggers and logging function executions, but some storage accounts do not support queues and tables. These accounts, which include blob-only storage accounts (including premium storage) and general-purpose storage accounts with zone-redundant storage replication, are filtered-out from your existing Storage Account selections when you create a function app.
The same storage account used by your function app can also be used by your triggers and bindings to store your application data. However, for storage-intensive operations, you should use a separate storage account.
It's certainly possible for multiple function apps to share the same storage account without any issues. (A good example of this is when you develop multiple apps in your local environment using the Azure Storage Emulator, which acts like one storage account.)
To learn more about storage account types, see Introducing the Azure Storage services.
How the Consumption and Premium plans work
In the Consumption and Premium plans, the Azure Functions infrastructure scales CPU and memory resources by adding additional instances of the Functions host, based on the number of events that its functions are triggered on. Each instance of the Functions host in the Consumption plan is limited to 1.5 GB of memory and one CPU. An instance of the host is the entire function app, meaning all functions within a function app share resource within an instance and scale at the same time. Function apps that share the same Consumption plan are scaled independently. In the Premium plan, your plan size will determine the available memory and CPU for all apps in that plan on that instance.
Function code files are stored on Azure Files shares on the function's main storage account. When you delete the main storage account of the function app, the function code files are deleted and cannot be recovered.
Runtime scaling
Azure Functions uses a component called the scale controller to monitor the rate of events and determine whether to scale out or scale in. The scale controller uses heuristics for each trigger type. For example, when you're using an Azure Queue storage trigger, it scales based on the queue length and the age of the oldest queue message.
The unit of scale for Azure Functions is the function app. When the function app is scaled out, additional resources are allocated to run multiple instances of the Azure Functions host. Conversely, as compute demand is reduced, the scale controller removes function host instances. The number of instances is eventually scaled in to zero when no functions are running within a function app.
Understanding scaling behaviors
Scaling can vary on a number of factors, and scale differently based on the trigger and language selected. There are a few intricacies of scaling behaviors to be aware of:
- A single function app only scales out to a maximum of 200 instances. A single instance may process more than one message or request at a time though, so there isn't a set limit on number of concurrent executions.
- For HTTP triggers, new instances are allocated, at most, once per second.
- For non-HTTP triggers, new instances are allocated, at most, once every 30 seconds. Scaling is faster when running in a Premium plan.
- For Service Bus triggers, use Manage rights on resources for the most efficient scaling. With Listen rights, scaling isn't as accurate because the queue length can't be used to inform scaling decisions. To learn more about setting rights in Service Bus access policies, see Shared Access Authorization Policy.
- For Event Hub triggers, see the scaling guidance in the reference article.
Best practices and patterns for scalable apps
There are many aspects of a function app that will impact how well it will scale, including host configuration, runtime footprint, and resource efficiency. For more information, see the scalability section of the performance considerations article. You should also be aware of how connections behave as your function app scales. For more information, see How to manage connections in Azure Functions.
For more information on scaling in Python and Node.js, see Azure Functions Python developer guide - Scaling and concurrency and Azure Functions Node.js developer guide - Scaling and concurrency.
Billing model
Billing for the different plans is described in detail on the Azure Functions pricing page. Usage is aggregated at the function app level and counts only the time that function code is executed. The following are units for billing:
- Resource consumption in gigabyte-seconds (GB-s). Computed as a combination of memory size and execution time for all functions within a function app.
- Executions. Counted each time a function is executed in response to an event trigger.
Useful queries and information on how to understand your consumption bill can be found on the billing FAQ.
Service limits
The following table indicates the limits that apply to function apps when running in the various hosting plans:
|Consumption plan
|Premium plan
|App Service plan1
|Scale out
|Event driven
|Event driven
|Max instances
|Default timeout duration (min)
|Max timeout duration (min)
|Max outbound connections (per instance)
|600 active (1200 total)
|Max request size (MB)4
|Max query string length4
|Max request URL length4
|ACU per instance
|Max memory (GB per instance)
|Function apps per plan
|App Service plans
|100 per region
|100 per resource group
|100 per resource group
|Custom domains per app
|Custom domain SSL support
|unbounded SNI SSL connection included
|unbounded SNI SSL and 1 IP SSL connections included
|unbounded SNI SSL and 1 IP SSL connections included
1 For specific limits for the various App Service plan options, see the App Service plan limits.
2 By default, the timeout for the Functions 1.x runtime in an App Service plan is unbounded.
3 Requires the App Service plan be set to Always On. Pay at standard rates.
4 These limits are set in the host.
5 The actual number of function apps that you can host depends on the activity of the apps, the size of the machine instances, and the corresponding resource utilization.
6 The storage limit is the total content size in temporary storage across all apps in the same App Service plan. Consumption plan uses Azure Files for temporary storage.
7 When your function app is hosted in a Consumption plan, only the CNAME option is supported. For function apps in a Premium plan or an App Service plan, you can map a custom domain using either a CNAME or an A record.
8 Guaranteed for up to 60 minutes.

Born, 1924. Died, 2000
Robert Reid's Agon No. 3, c. 1966, oil on linen, 36 x 30 inches, was reproduced in the catalogue for The Search for Freedom: African American Abstract Painting 1945-1975, an exhibition that took place at Kenkeleba Gallery, New York, May 19 - July 14, 1991. It was a major exhibition featuring some 35 artists - Charles Alston, Romare Bearden, Betty Blayton-Taylor, Frank Bowling, Peter Bradley, Vivian E. Browne, Ed Clark, Adger Cowans, Beauford Delaney, Sam Gilliam, Ray Grist, Bill Hutson, Zell Ingram, Harlan Jackson, Daniel LaRue Johnson, Ronald Joseph, Larry Compton Kolawole, Norman Lewis, Al Loving, Richard Mayhew, Algernon Miller, Mary Lovelace O'Neal, Joe Overstreet, Howardena Pindell, Rose Piper, Haywood Bill Rivers, Thomas Sills, Thelma Johnson Streat, Alma Thomas, Mildred Thompson, William White, Jack E. Whitten, William T. Williams, Frank Wimberley, and Hale Woodruff. The exhibition sought to demonstrate the extent to which 'African American' artists were at the forefront of experiments and commitment to abstraction in the visual arts, in the mid 20th century. Whilst the exhibition was subtitled African American Abstract Painting 1945-1975, two of the artists were in fact Caribbean born; Ronald Joseph, from St. Kitts and the British artist Frank Bowling, born in Guyana. This exhibition marked a hugely significant intervention into art historical narratives, which have tended to locate African American artists very firmly within the camp of figurative practice, with all of its attendant social narratives.

Prashasta Seth, chief investment officer at IIFL Mutual Fund, talks to Ravi Samalad about his investing style and why he believes large caps will remain popular this year.
IIFL Focused Equity Fund invested in Reliance Nippon Life AMC. Did you subscribe to the HDFC IPO as well?
We exited Reliance Nippon Life AMC because we subscribed to HDFC AMC. Post listing, HDFC AMC will constitute close to 10% weightage of the fund's weightage. So we didn't want more than 10% exposure to AMC business in this fund.
How do you see the prospects of the asset management industry given that its fortunes are directly tied to markets?
In asset management, there are fixed costs and the operating leverage is very high. For instance, if you are managing a Rs 10,000 crore fund, you would need 2 fund managers and 5 analysts. If the AUM increases to Rs 1 lakh crore, you can still manage with perhaps 3 fund managers and increase the analyst team to 10.
The other challenge in the industry is distribution commissions. Factors like capping of commission payout, improving operating leverage, wider participation of households in financial assets will bode well for asset management companies.
Do you think profitability of AMCs will go up with the popularity of direct plans?
Ideally, the difference between the total expense ratio of regular and direct plan should be the commission payout to distributors. But industry data suggests that the commission payout is higher than the difference in TERs of direct and regular plans. I believe increasing share of direct assets will improve profitability. The only challenge is that not all investors are ready to pay a fee to distributors/advisers who recommend direct plans. So how do you incentivize distributors recommending direct plans?
What is the strategy of managing a focused fund as compared to a fund which holds wider number of stocks?
You need to have strong conviction in your ideas. A fund which holds 50-60 stocks can take minimal weightage to each stock. On the other hand, in a focused fund, the minimum weightage to a stock could be 2-3% which can go as high as 10%. Besides, the amount of due diligence is higher since we tend to go overweight on stocks vis-à-vis benchmark. Since we hold a concentrated portfolio, we tend to avoid cyclical stocks. If you buy in the wrong cycle, the pain it can give will be substantially higher in a focused fund because of the concentrated holding. Thus, we invest in high conviction secular growth stories which could play out in 2-3 years.
The fund is currently overweight vis-à-vis the index in Healthcare, Technology and Utilities. What makes you bullish on these sectors?
We wanted to position our portfolio a bit defensive. Both Healthcare and IT will benefit from rupee depreciation. IT had underperformed for a large period of time till January 2018 and valuations too were compelling. We felt that reasonable valuations and demand pick up would help this sector.
As far as Healthcare is concerned, most issues related to the U.S. is priced in. The situation should only improve from here. Also, rupee depreciation will help the Healthcare sector.
In Utilities, we have focused on specific opportunities. It is not a theme or sectoral allocation. It's an independent call on a stock. We have 6% weightage in Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation or CESC Ltd. If this company gets approval for demerger there will be a lot of value unlocking.
Why does the fund does not have any exposure to Energy and Communication Services?
We have been looking at oil marketing companies, but we still haven't been to take a final call on this sector. We are waiting for a right opportunity to enter.
In Communication, it is still unclear on which way the industry is headed. The profitability is reducing. We are unsure when the sector will bounce back and command pricing power. We have to see how long Reliance JIO continues to keep the prices low.
The current rally is only due to a handful of large-cap stocks. When do you think there will be a wider rally in next rung of stocks?
Our thesis this year is that we don't expect to see a broad-based rally with participation from all stocks. Keeping this in mind, we have launched a fund called IIFL Capital Enhancer Fund where we are taking exposure to large cap stocks which are expected to lead the economic growth. It aims to protect the downside by investing in a put option. We believe large caps will outperform mid and small caps this year. This is because we are in hardening interest rate environment, the currency is depreciating, and liquidity is drying up in global markets. I think mid-caps can play catch up for a large part of this year. But we don't see them outperforming the broader indices by year end. I would recommend investors to stick to large cap funds having focused strategies this year.
Some reports are predicting a correction in market. What is your sense?
Logically, there should be a correction, but the domestic liquidity is abundant. We are entering a phase where fundamentals are deteriorating.
For the last five years, the macro situation was improving even if micro situation wasn't so well. Today, you are in a situation where macros are worsening but the micros are improving, as far as the latest quarter earnings is anything to go by. We have to wait to see the numbers for 2-3 quarters.
I think what is very clear from here is that PE multiples can't expand. It's the earnings growth that has to drive the markets. The earnings season this quarter has been exceptionally strong. Whether this is one quarter phenomenon exemplified by what happened in base quarter which was weak or is it something that will persist needs to be watched out.

Douglas Preston
Three storylines come together in a race against the clock. A college dropout in Maine catches the path of a meteoroid streaking through the sky and sets off to find the rock and make a lot of money. Wyman Ford, a former intelligence officer (and a major character in Preston's Blasphemy), is back trying to find the source of honeys – radioactive gemstones that can cause horrific disease in their wearers as well as be used in the creation of dirty bombs. And finally, a scientist at the National Propulsion Facility is finding some strange gamma ray data coming from Mars…
Preston takes the global catastrophe by meteoroid storyline and twists it in amazingly creative ways. If you like your action mixed with science, this one is for you.

Gwarkonians are the future race of humans. They live in Gwarkonia, what we currently call Earth, and exist in a world fully encompassed with inclusion, humor, and the perpetual groove. Peace, camaraderie and general goodwill is sustained on Gwarkonia through recreation of all sorts: gaming, music, humor, and most importantly, communication. While history has yet to be written, soothsayers foretell that at some point in the future, a revolution occurred and the geek inherited the earth. In time, the geek evolved into the Gwarkonian; a peaceful race of highly developed, social creatures.
It is further prophesied that they created time machines and have traveled back in time to our present; to recruit highly evolved humans with a sense of humor and an affinity for cardboard, dice, and meeples.
It is thought that their intention is to identify and develop these human into Gwarkonians, thus averting the revolution and hastening the creation of their Utopian Society. Because we are in the present, we do not have a true understanding of exactly when (or if) the revolution will start, how it will play out, and when it will end.
There are many who do not believe the validity of these tales. They might point at a lack of evidence or state that we don't even know what a Gwarkonian looks like. Do they look like us or do they have big, pointy teeth? Those who believe say they look like you or me. Could a Gwarkonian be the player to your left, the one that seems to know all the rules and always has a joke and handful of gummy bears? Could you be a Gwarkonian? If so, our future is in your hands. It's your move.
Recently discovered historical documents from secret Gwarkonian recruitment camps (under the guise of game days and conventions):
It was the year 5477 when Gwarkonian Archaeologists stumbled upon the ancient ruins of the geek. Within those ruins they found their past, tucked away in the rubble were petrified pieces that resembled weapons, heroes, and machines. They found hardened boards of many colors and shapes. They discovered one of the fabled home-bases, where the original Gwarkonians plotted the revolution…when the geeks inherited the Earth and transformed it into Gwarkonia; the peaceful, future world they have come to know. A world filled with humor, music, and gummy snacks. It was then they decided to build a time machine, travel back in time, and hasten the future coming of Gwarkonia. They traveled to the year 2013 and began their recruitment. Thus, Gwarkoni-Con has been thrust upon us!
Another year is in the books and the Gwarkonians have been busy traveling back in time, recruiting the ancient race to become Gwarkonians, thus hastening the salvation of the planet we currently know as Earth. The time is now (well, a few weeks from now) and the revolution is upon us. THE GWARKONIANS WANT YOU!
Hop in your TARDIS, or preferred time travel device, and head to the year 5477 (November 8, to be exact), to Gwarkonia, the peaceful future that is filled with humor, music, and dice…lots of dice. More than you would expect, really.
Please join us for Gwarkoni-Con II. Bigger and better than last year, we will have scrumptious snacks, plenty of game tables, and door prizes; The bag of crap I found in a drawer is back by popular demand, upgraded to a box of crap I found in some drawers! More info on games and events to come, so stay tuned and we are looking forward to seeing you here.

Seattle is a city that is an absolute gem of an urban center, and there's a reason that it is often seen as the jewel of the Pacific Northwest. A thriving economic and cultural hub, Seattle has learned how to invest in both to provide an experience for residents or visitors that makes them a popular destination for all. Seattle is a city with many very different and distinctive attractions to check out and experiences to have, so start out with finding a good deal on a motorhome rental and get ready to check out many of the top memorable attractions when visiting the city of Seattle.
The Space Needle
One of the most distinctive buildings in the world, Seattle's Space Needle is over 600 feet tall and features a fine dining restaurant that offers remarkable 360 degree view of Seattle and the surrounding beautiful natural areas like Mount Rainer or Puget Sound. This is the type of building that simply isn't replicated and it is impossible to mistake for another building in the city of Seattle. If you're up for a truly elegant meal and want to see some incredible views, it is hard to argue with what the Space Needle has to offer as an experience.
Pike Place Market
A major part of Pike Place Market since all the way back in 1907, this 120+ year old market is a mainstay attraction for residents and visitors alike. Open year-round, this well-known farmer's market offers plenty of fresh seafood, vegetables, flowers, local dairy items, and even local crafts. This market is also famous for the "flying fish" as vendors yell out and happily toss large salmon to each other while cracking joke and enjoying with childish glee being able to toss fish a good ten, fifteen feet from one to another to fill up those seafood stalls.
Hit the Ferries
While your motorhome rental will need to stay back at camp for this one, the ferries offer an inexpensive but great way to slow down for a bit and take a look at the natural beauty that the area offers. The ferry can be boarded right down on the waterfront of the Seattle downtown and gets you to Bainbridge, where you can find a very tourist friendly town of Winslow. Head back on the ferry and enjoy views of the Seattle skyline coming back in that direction.
There's a lot to see on the ferries, especially on a truly clear day.
Downtown Waterfront
There aren't many major cities in the States that have a major waterfront that is part of the downtown, but Seattle isn't your average city, either. A large and broad sidewalk along the waterfront and harbors gives plenty of room for local businesses, shops, restaurants specializing in fresh seafood, and more. This area even has the famous Great Wheel (an impressive 175 foot tall Ferris Wheel) and even the Aquarium.
This is a remarkable place to visit, and you can easily spend an entire day just checking out local spots, enjoying the piers, and really explore what the waterfront has to offer.
Pacific Science Center
The Pacific Science Center is the type of outstanding educational attraction that you would expect from a city so strongly committed to technology and education. The Pacific Science Center (PSC) isn't even contained in just one building, but this center is actually five buildings of various "hands-on" exhibits encouraging interacting and learning with science, two IMAX theaters, a planetarium with popular laser light shows, and of course the famous Butterfly House, home to thousands upon thousands of beautiful butterflies.
The enjoyment factor isn't age specific here, either. The PSC has displays, exhibits, and activities for visitors of all ages and even includes some extremely impressive architecture that in and of itself would be worth the trip even without all those exceptional displays and experiences that allow science lovers of all age to enjoy the experience and learn plenty of note.
Kerry Park
Kerry Park is a really neat hidden little gem. While not the most famous park in the city, nor the most visited, there's a lot to love about this park especially if you are an amateur photographer. Kerry Park offers incredible views of Seattle's skyline (including a great shot of the Space Needle), and you can even seek out Queen Anne Hill and wait for a picture of a ferry crossing Elliott Bay, or another exceptionally beautiful shot to grab another outstanding picture of your travels.
In the right weather and circumstances, there are times that you may even get lucky and be able to enjoy an outstanding view of the famed Mt. Rainier.
Enjoy the Jewel of the Pacific Northwest
Seattle is a thriving city that was thriving even before Microsoft and the tech boom of the last few decades that have further helped the city grow and continue to fund the types of attractions that give residents plenty to do while attracting visitors from around the world. So take care of that motorhome rental, get some daily plans in place, and go enjoy everything that Seattle has to offer!

Q: Queries seem to be hit or miss. What's the best way to keep a steady income as a writer?
A: There's a difference between gigs and clients. By my definition, gigs are one-time assignments –such as an article that you write for a magazine. Although you can certainly get repeat assignments from editors, they can still be sporadic, and therefore you can't always count on that income. This isn't to say you shouldn't continue sending queries. You should. But consider any assignments you land as supplemental income.
Build your security by obtaining clients. These are people for whom you do regular work–weekly, monthly, quarterly or even annually. Here are a few examples from my own clients:
- Weekly: I do 10 hours of PR a week for a national company. I write and send press releases and articles and do one-on-one media consulting with the franchisees.
- Monthly: I write a regular column for a women's business magazine.
- Quarterly: I write and edit articles and ad copy for two quarterly magazines.
- Annually: I write and edit articles three to four months out of the year for a national magazine that comes out once a year.
I still send occasional queries and write greeting cards, but I don't count on that income to pay my bills.

FRESH concerns about funding for the Welsh Assembly Government's flagship foundation phase education scheme were raised today.
A report by the National Assembly's finance committee said there had been a "systemic failure" in the transfer of relevant funding information between councils and the Assembly Government.
The pioneering foundation phase scheme, which starts in September, aims to encourage three to seven-year-olds to learn through play.
The report, published today, also highlights concerns about staffing costs and recruitment and the effective allocation of funds.
A total of £112m has so far been allocated to the scheme, including an extra £5m which was announced this year as headteachers threatened a boycott over funding levels.
Unions and opposition politicians said today's report confirmed what they had consistently argued: that there has been a lack of funding and planning for the scheme.
David Evans, secretary of the NUT Cymru, warned of a "potential disaster" unless councils and the Assembly Government got to grips with the sharing of information about funding.
"Right from the very start we raised issues about how the foundation phase was going to be funded and we also raised concerns more recently about the fact that local education authorities, first and foremost, were slow in getting information out to schools regarding the funding," he said.
"We've asked for the information that has been passed between the two [councils and the Assembly Government] and they haven't released that information to us yet, which gives us more cause for concern because this is supposed to be an open and transparent process.
"We've always said there has been a funding fog in Wales and the fact they seem reluctant to release information heightens this.
"It is unsatisfactory that schools are expected to implement the foundation phase in September and yet the schools still don't know exactly where they are going this coming September, the following September or the September after that.
"Somebody needs to take control and direct where this initiative is going at this moment in time or there's going to be a potential disaster in some schools."
Iwan Guy, acting director of the National Association of Headteachers (NAHT) in Wales, who gave evidence to the National Assembly's finance committee last month, said: "There's a lesson here for all future initiatives. They must be pre-costed before they are published or broadcast."
Kirsty Williams, the Welsh Liberal Democrat education spokeswoman, said: "This report confirms what I have consistently argued, along with unions, local authorities and professionals. I have for months bemoaned the lack of planning and funding for the scheme.
"It is the Assembly Government's failure to admit that problems have been brewing for some time that has led to the current situation. Unfortunately, it is young children and teachers on the front line who will pay the price for this stubborn incompetence."
Shadow Education Minister Andrew Davies AM added: "It should serve as a wake-up call to the Education Minister that she cannot afford to play politics with children's futures."
An Assembly Government spokesman said: "It is vital that the Assembly Government, local authorities, schools, teaching unions and all key stakeholders work together in partnership because we all want all young people in Wales to reap the benefits of the foundation phase.
"It was to ensure that everyone could work together on this that the minister set up the foundation phase implementation task and finish group which will be having its third meeting next week. Great progress has been made since the finance committee took evidence and next week's discussion at the group will focus on what has to be done to ensure the further implementation of foundation phase over the next four years is successful."

Though an admirer of Louis le Brocquy's paintings, I had never before come across the artist's print-work. Throughout his life, le Brocquy collaborated with a number of Irish writers, including his friends Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney. After happening upon one of the artist's most notable collaborations, le Brocquy's lithographic brush drawings for Thomas Kinsella's The Táin of 1969, I was immediately taken with the beautifully simplistic and calligraphic forms. The Táin includes one hundred and thirty-three black and white drawings detailing Ireland's proto-historic past, printed on Swiftbrook Paper Mills, Co., reproduced by line block, printed by Dolmen Press, Dublin, limited edition of 1,750 copies.

Latest Love: Louis le Brocquy
Latest Love: Jennifer Ament
After spotting an image of Jennifer Ament's recent show at Maison Luxe in Seattle, I was immediately hooked. The beautiful prints and paintings of artist Jennifer Ament, seem to be popping up everywhere lately, from my favorite Instagram accounts to the Art Collection of Serena & Lily. Ament's most recent series, Underwater Plant Life, is truly stunning. I'm already picturing a gallery wall featuring row upon row of the delicate undulating plants (I especially love the artist's choice of black matting and gold frames in displaying the series, as seen at Serena & Lily). I am also drawn to the series of paintings featured at Maison Luxe, described by Ament on the artist's blog Art & Lair:
My wall of Watercolors, Original Ink on Paper, and Collage were a year in the making. My inspiration came from planets not yet discovered, the galaxy surrounding us, and the insides of Minerals.
I am done with Winter. Turning my calendar to March, while there's still snow on the ground ? No thank you.
Spring fever has me itching to throw open my apartment windows, and let the fresh air in—to escape the frigid Wisconsin weather, and bleak grey scenery, and take a walk through Bonnard's colorful Garden. For now, I'll have to make-do with fresh flowers and Rifle Paper Co.'s beautiful blooms. When Spring finally decides to roll around, I'll be checking these warm weather cravings off my to-do list:
- A visit to my favorite annual event at the Milwaukee Art Museum, Art in Bloom, a tribute to art and flowers, March 27th to 30th.
- Smitten Kitchen's Spring Panzanella, a delicious twist on classic panzanella (and who doesn't love bread salad?)
- An afternoon at Estebrook Beer Garden with the husband, and run around the neighboring dog park with Auggie Doggie (who is bouncing off the walls this Winter).

Girl Writing
After ringing in the New Year with a few close friends & plenty of champagne, I still had no idea what resolutions to set for the coming year. Though a bit late, I think I've finally established some goals for the coming year, with the help of Waiting on Martha's lovely idea, of choosing a "word" for 2014:
I write my resolutions, and pick my "word" for 2014. For those that haven't ever picked a word before your word is supposed to encompass a desire, a want, a goal that you hope comes to fruition in the new year.
How I choose my word is really more instinctual than anything else. I simply grow quiet and go through this list writing down every word that speaks to me. Then from those chosen words I start crossing each word off until only one remains. – "GO" Waiting on Martha
So, this year, I want to 'rise'. I want to rise in the mundane and daily sense, to rise each morning with intention, and start each day with my health in mind. I want to rise in the grand sense, to rise to my full potential, to meet challenges head on which I have procrastinated in the past.
I know myself well enough to know, that if I am truly going to complete my New Years resolutions, they need to be specific. Go to the gym more often? Not gonna happen without a specific goal to motivate me, and to work toward throughout the year. So, in line with my 2014 affirmation to 'rise', here we go:
1. This is the year I will finally run a marathon. The big 26.2 has always been on my long list of things to do in my lifetime, so why not this year? I've decided to work toward the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon on October 5th, which means I'll need to start training this April.
2. I would like to raise my confidence and self-expectations as a blogger. I didn't publish as many blog posts as I would have liked in 2013, which was often a source of guilt for me. But I have come to realize, that though I love to blog, I also like to spend time unplugged. This year I hope to better plan ahead for blog posts, to find a balance that works for me, and to publish more blog posts than last year.
I hope you have all had a wonderful start to the New Year, and if not, it's not too late to commit to making the most of 2014!

Gallery Wall, featuring Deidre DeWaal
As of late, I've been preoccupied with creating a gallery wall in our apartment. Though the husband & I have been settled in the apartment for almost ten months, as of a few weeks ago there were still stacks of framed works sitting on our bedroom floor.
My desire for a gallery wall was sparked by a lovely wedding gift from artist Deidre DeWaal, entitled Peonies, which I finally had professionally framed. Painter Deidre DeWaal has exhibited throughout the United States, as well as the Netherlands, Switzerland, France and Ecuador. Her works are part of the Smithsonian Institution's permanent collection, in addition to numerous private collections. DeWaal's contemporary florals exhibit the traditional sumi-e style, or Japanese ink wash painting, each fluid brush stroke perfectly placed, capturing the form and spirit of the blooms.
Though I'm still on the hunt for some smaller works to fill our frames, I'm happy to finally have Peonies where it can truly be appreciated, along with a lovely little painting by my grandmother, and some paper ephemera from the husband's and I's travels. I'm hoping to add a couple of favorite prints that have been on my wish list, including Elizabeth Mayville's portraits, and one of Gray Malin's gorgeous prints (I'm especially drawn to his images of Cinque Terre, one of my favorite spots in Italy).

Latest Love: Simone Shubuck & Domaine
Monday marked the launch of a fabulous new home decor site, Domaine, sure to become a mecca for decorating inspiration, and lifestyle tips. As the mr. & I recently moved, the hunt has begun for our aesthetic vision—the key furniture pieces that will make the perfect foundation for our style, and the little touches that will make it home. I have a feeling Domaine is the answer to my current blank-canvas-induced decorating standstill.
Thanks to Domaine, I've also developed a new artist crush, for the botanical mixed media works of Simone Shubuck. Check out her stunningly layered compositions at Taylor De Cordoba.

Automotive or car fuses are security devices that are made of wire strips that would melt and break the electric circuit if the current would overpass a safe level. They are used to guard and protect electrical equipment in vehicles.
All cars have fuse boxes hidden somewhere in the driver's cabin. In most of the cases, these fuse boxes would be placed somewhere near your feet, under your car's steering column, or someplace like the box for the gloves or so
If you blow a fuse, you will know for sure. Everything will stop working on the circuit in the matter if that happens. Everything at all, for example, radios, lights, and side mirrors, etc.
Sometimes you will blow the same fuse several times, and there are several reasons for that.
Now, let's give a look at why might the fuse keeps blowing in car.
What Causes Fuse Keeps Blowing in Car
As we mentioned, there are several reasons to why the fuse in your car can blow. However, the number one reason would be inside amplifier faults due to the short to ground power supply line.
But, you will need to track down the very source of your problem to be able to solve it. So here are basic diagnostic steps:
Fuse Is In The Wrong Amperage Rating
Something that is very obvious, but that happens quite often is that the fuse is in the wrong amperage rating. Please, make sure to check that. Drivers manual would normally have a diagram in which you can find this information.
The new amplifier can sometimes take too much of the power, and that would be the reason for the fuse blowing. Give another quick look to the device on the circuit in the matter. Naturally, more devices you have, bigger the drag.
Every device that uses electricity needs a certain amount of amperes. Those devices can be anything from radios to headlights, and they are draining your car's electrical system.
Every fuse should have a number on it, and that number shows the number of amperes that can be tugged through it before it completely blows.
Now, every wire in the car has its thickness and the very kind of conductors in the wires will determine what power those can take before they melt from overheating. Same boundaries stand for any electric device.
Fuses are there to protect both devices and wires in your car.
Diagnosing an Electrical Short
The short circuit or simply "the short" is just the connection of low resistance between any two conductors that are used to supply electricity to a circuit. There are a few reasons to having the short circuit in your car. We are going to mention the three most typical ones.
Starting from the most common cause, these reasons would be as follows:
1. Electrical device failed
This is the most usual one, and it happens quite often, so pay double attention to it. If some of your devices have died, fried, or melted inside, they might just start taking up too much energy while trying to still stay working.
This just sounds exhausting. And it is for your car. This will in most of the cases overburden your circuit, and it would cause the short and your car's fuse will blow.
2. Frictions versus a wiring installations cause the wire isolation to wear off
This is another cause that is very common, so remember it well and keep an eye on it. The exposed wires may cause the short circuit if they touch the ground surface. That can often cause the sporadic short circuits.
When the wires move, they may sometimes get in touch with the top layer of a surface that can cause the short circuit and therefore, a fuse to blow.
3. Any of the connectors that gets uncovered to any element may cause short circuit
You will need to pay attention to everything that can cause this, even though this cause is the least common one. You can have a leak somewhere in your car, your carpet can get wet, and that can cause wet wire installation; that is not very good to have around.
Wet wire installations can rot over time, and that can provoke a final short circuit or a lot of fuses that often blow.
I have blown a fuse
You might as well wonder what you should do if you blow a fuse.
Well, the first thing that you will have to do is consult the manual. We already mentioned where the fuse box might be, but it should appear in owner's manual anyway.
You should be able to remove the lid very easily, with your bare hands, or you might need a screwdriver, or pliers, or some other type of tool that you would probably have in your garage. Just replace a blown fuse; you will know what the one that needs replacing is. They are usually very cheap, and you can get them anywhere that you are usually buying your car parts.
If we take in the account everything that we have mentioned, we can conclude that there a several rather common reasons to your fuse that keeps blowing.
However changing the blown fuse easy can be, there is not a reason to just forget and let it happen. So we advise you to keep in mind all of the causes that we have covered in this article and give a look or two at your installations from time to time.
It will surely keep you from unneeded trouble.

Two unrelated events in Adlandia last week say something about the shifting sand under our collective feet.
The first is word that Cliff Freeman & Partners has skidded to an inglorious stop. The second bit is news that two former Crispinis have joined with a gaming exec to form a crowdsourcing agency called Victors & Spoils.
"The goal of his new agency is to "get more people involved in the creative process, but not winner-take-all and not free labor," John Winsor, a founding partner told Stuart Elliott of The Times.
The way V&S sees it (and describes it on their new site), "companies need an alternative to both current ad agencies as well as current crowdsourcing platforms. One that offers the strategic direction, engagement and relationship management that agencies deliver today, but one that also delivers the engagement, cultural relevance, results and return on investment that crowdsourcing {if managed and directed well} can deliver."
On the Cliff Freeman front, Adweek has this:
Sources said Baskin-Robbins — where execs could not be reached for comment — is the last remaining account, and that there are five employees left at an operation that had a peak headcount of nearly 60 in recent years.
The agency famous for its funny TV work is on its last breath, while a new agency that will look to the crowd for answers is alive and kicking. I know change is the only constant, but if this news is a sign of things to come, it's a pretty dramatic shift.
Here's a Super Bowl spot Cliff Freeman made a few years ago:
[UPDATE] Ad Age sent a reporter over to Cliff Freeman's offices on West 20th Street in New York. "Cliff Freeman is ceasing operations at this location," said a woman who asked not to have her name printed and then asked the reporter to leave.

Edit My Paper as My Tutor's Expect
An Essay Editor for Students is Essential: Spruce up Your Academic Papers
Let's revise the essential steps of the writing process. Number one – plan, number two – research, number three – write, number four – revise. Bear in mind that revision is a meticulous process, when you can reshape, rewrite, correct, and finalize the college assignment. It is time-consuming, to do some revision. It can take from 15 minutes to months (especially if this concerns heavy academic works, such as a thesis or dissertation). Still, without it, you cannot be sure that the piece is A-level, even if a professional writer deals with your paper - different misprints can be observed.
Polishing a paper is very important. At this stage, it is needed not only to reread the piece in order to see if it is on topic enough, or if the minimum number of words has been reached. This process requires a lot of attention and efforts especially when you are an ESL student. The main aim is to search out some grammar and punctuation mistakes and correct them in each paragraph. Making your piece readable and easy to understand is quite important too, and you reach this particular goal while proofreading essays in English. Actually, it is better to edit the paper not just after having completed it, but in some time. In this case, you may ask yourself: "How to find time to do this stuff?" WriteMyTermPapers.com is a website where you can ask, "help me write my essay" and find such an online service as editing in a variety of formatting styles (APA, MLA, Harvard, etc.)
Why Is It Important to Have Your Paper Edited?
It is always easier to edit someone else's works, as in this case we are more likely to notice the slightest mistakes. While writing the paper on your own, you know what you would like to tell in the particular sentence, and when there is any misspelling, your eyes may not just pay attention to it. Referring to the writing service for editing is a decision that will save a lot of your time and will provide with thorough checking.
Text editing serves a number of purposes, including polishing the structure of the paper, reviewing the logical exposition that we use to present facts, correcting grammar and punctuation mistakes, improving the tone and style.
Without a thorough edit, any college paper is a draft, a raw material on the topic. By revising what you've written, remove the bumps. Editing and revision helps improve your writing skills; it helps learn common mistakes and pay better attention to them in the future.
What are the possible solutions? You can say to your friend, "edit my essay", he or she makes the necessary corrections, or might draw in an experienced corrector who will assess the piece from his or her professional point of view and provide you with feedback. The prime option is lacking in the sense that your friend either has limited time (that he or she would better spend on going out with you) or has his/her own subjective view on writing. If you are ready to close your eyes on this, go ahead and hand your draft to him/her. If you are in for a detailed review and thorough fixes, then contact an editor to ask them for help.
For example, you can have your task reviewed by our academic editors' team. The best thing is that we'll match you with the one who is proficient in the particular subject, who will know the nuances of the style and topic.
What Are the Advantages of Our Company?
When you are asking our staff to edit or proofread your thesis, you can expect that they'll do a scrupulous job. Just make sure you distinguish between editing and proofreading. When you ask to proofread a paper, you are signing up for correction of the grammar and punctuation (sometimes style) mistakes. When you opt for an edit, you get your writing revised, checked, and polished. Both jobs are essential in writing and don't take extra time of waiting for your paper. So, you get a thoroughly proofread and well-edited research for your term paper within a short deadline.
Below are the advantages of our paper editing service that you'll experience if place your "editing" request:
- Native speakers. We have native speakers experienced at editing papers for college students;
- Proficient stuff. Our staff editors have experience with various academic disciplines. Be sure that we'll find someone who is knowledgeable about the topic. Moreover, we provide direct communication with them;
- Personal approach. We offer personal approach to our customers by meeting their specific requirements and complying with their college standards;
- Plagiarism free. We have your theses checked for plagiarism with our unique software;
- Reasonable prices. We don't intend to depreciate our editors' work that can't cost cheap. But we're ready to offer you a really good bargain.
