Amsterdam – 11th of October 2016 – Cavell Group today launched its European VoIP research which includes detailed studies of the French, German, Dutch, Belgian, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese markets.
Cavell can see that the UK is the largest market in terms of number of customers, however, the Dutch market continues to be the most developed. The French and German markets are showing signs of growth and maturity with increasing numbers of Service Providers launching a service.
The research shows three groups of countries in terms of market maturity with Netherlands and the UK leading the way, followed by France, Germany and Spain, with Italy and Portugal being the least mature.
Cavell also has seen a particular focus in the French market which is likely to lead to strong growth in the coming year.
Dominic Black, Senior Analyst at Cavell Group, stated: "Each market operates with slightly different dynamics and we see different pricing approaches and platform choices by the market. It would be fair to say that no two countries are the same in terms of their development or their individual market dynamics."
The research team is happy to share further comments and views on their findings, so should you have any queries, please contact Francisca Dinga, Marketing & Research Assistant at Cavell Group:

All in all, we are witnessing history in the making, so book now to avoid disappointment!
If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Cavell Group's Benelux VoIP Research Report shows a highly competitive Hosted VoIP market in the Netherlands December 14, 2015Posted by Dominic Black in Uncategorized.

Cavell's latest research shows that the Dutch Hosted VoIP market has a total of 820,000 Hosted VoIP business subscribers and now leads mainland Europe in terms of Hosted VoIP penetration in the business market.
Rob Kurver, Cavell's Benelux Analyst, stated:
"The Netherlands market is so advanced because we have a combination of factors at play that has helped the adoption of these services. The Netherland market has good broadband coverage, is deregulated and Cavell have identified over 60 new businesses emerge to serve the market. Traditionally Hosted VoIP services have been adopted first by the SME market and the Netherlands benefits from a large number of small businesses."
Within the 60 Service Providers that have emerged to serve the Dutch market, there are the traditional incumbent providers such as KPN and Ziggo, but also some very successful new Service Providers such as RoutIT, Voiceworks and Voys who have helped to create such a strong competitive marketplace. What is interesting is that 75% of the total number of seats are provided by top 10 providers so Cavell expects that there will be increased M&A activity in the future as the market consolidates. If we compare Netherlands with the UK, where Cavell have been publishing research for over 10 years, we see that the UK has 86 providers and although with a lot smaller potential market, the Netherlands has over 60 which highlights the strength and competition in the market.
Cavell held a launch event last week in Amsterdam and Brussels with some key Service Providers in each individual market attending and look forward to seeing them again at the European VoIP Summit on the 1st of March in London. We will also be releasing further reports on the Hosted VoIP market in other European regions in 2016.

We say goodbye to Michele--he has a tour group at 10 am--and head back to the hotel. We sit outside and write postcards, enjoying the weather, the view and the grounds. We decide to have a picnic for lunch at the hotel so we drive into Agrigento to get some bread and fruit.....it is a busy Saturday morning, but I find a parking space not far from the "centro". We go back to the same bakery and "frutta verdura" that we went to nine years earlier....we buy some tomatoes, olives and--on impulse--a large sack of pistachio nuts. On the way back to the car, we pass a man selling cheese out of his truck and we buy a sizable piece of fresh ricotta for Euro 1.
Back at the hotel, we feast on ham, salami, cheese, olives and--according to Diana--the best tomatoes she has ever had...small cherry tomatoes bursting with flavor. After lunch, we just hang out and read, rest and write.....we are really taking advantage of the grounds of the hotel.
Later in the afternoon, we get in the car and head for Palma di Montechiaro as part of our Lampedusa itinerary. Lampedusa went to stay in the town near the end of his life--it has been a family fief in earlier times--but now he had a chance to be an "ordinary" citizen. It is significant because several key scenes and location for "The Leopard" are drawn from his stay in Palma di Montechiaro and from the life of his grandfather, who lived here.. Although the town is somewhat shabby and rundown, we visit the "mother church"--the cathedral--which was built by his family and the convent next door which inspired another key scene.
Driving back to Agrigento, we notice again the rows and rows of plastic covered plantings--sort of rough greenhouses--covering acres and acres of melons, tomatoes and other crops......when you look at the scenery from a distance, it appears to be a sea of plastic. We make a gelato stop at the beach resort of Marina di Palma, a run down and quiet (in the off-season) beach resort and then head back to Agrigento. We stop at the last temple....set high on the end of the ridge. We try to use the ticket that we had purchased this morning for entrance to the other two temples....but the ticket taker thinks that we need to buy a new ticket. He can't explain to us why he thinks that and we can't convey why we don't think we need to buy a new ticket. In the end, he reluctantly lets us pass. It is good climb to the temple and the stairway is in some disrepair but we inspect the Temple of Giunone and enjoy the view over the valley to the sea and back to the town.
Dinner tonight is at Leon D'Oro in the beach town of San Leone, just a few minutes away from our hotel. We had eaten there nine years earlier and I have recommended it to many clients. Luckily, we had made reservations in the afternoon because, although the restaurant is virtually empty at eight o'clock when we arrive, the maitre d' is soon turning away customers without reservations. There is also a large party in the next room--a French tour group of about 40--who are having dinner. This, combined with the regular Saturday night crowd--the Italians start arriving about 9 pm--makes for stress for the staff. They are having a hard time taking care of all the customers and they seem to be shorthanded.
Our food is quite good.....I start with smoked tuna roulades wrapped around a cheese filling and Diana has the antipasto Siciliana. When she asks for "panelle"--chick pea fritters--the waiter says they don't have them tonight but they show up in the antipasto and in another plate for the table. My pasta is fettucine with small octopii and fava beans and Diana has a "maltagliati" (a wide pasta similar to pappardelle) with a vegetable sauce. For seconds, I have a grilled fish (picked out for me by the waiter--he brings it by for my approval on its way to the kitchen) and Diana has "involitini di vitello", thin pieces of veal wrapped around a cheese filling. Everything is very good....although my fish is not as spectacular as I had hoped for....and we also are enjoying watching the customers as they arrive and get settled.
However, we get a bit more of the people watching than we really want. The "disapperaring Italian waiter" scenario materializes and we have great difficulty getting someone to offer us dessert or the check. In fact, the waiters did not "disappear", but they were so busy with getting food for the rest of the customers, that our need for the check was a lower priority. After all, we had already gotten our food.
In any case, we finally get our check and the waiters are somewhat apologetic......but it just took too long for two tired American tourists. The bill is very reasonable for the amount of food and wine we consumed....about Euro 65.00. It is a quick ride back to the hotel, a fast view of the temples lit up on the ridge and to bed.

Looking out over St Peter's Square where icicles hung from usually bubbling fountains, Pope Francis prayed for the homeless.
The freeze in Rome, subzero temperatures in large parts of Europe and heavy snowfalls in many areas in early January forced the closure of roads and schools and were blamed for at least a dozen deaths.
"In these very cold days, I think and I invite you to think of the people who live on the streets, struck by the cold and, many times, by indifference," Pope Francis told people in St Peter's Square on January 8.
"Unfortunately, some have not survived," the Pope told people who had bundled up against the midday chill to recite the Angelus prayer with him. "Let us pray for them and ask the Lord to warm our hearts so that we can help them."
Because of the cold weather, the papal charities office instituted a 24-hour open-door policy at the shelters it runs with the Missionaries of Charity for homeless men and homeless women. Usually the shelters open in the evening and close in the morning.
The Vatican has also distributed to some homeless thermal sleeping bags that protect down to minus 20C (minus 4F). Some Vatican vehicles, their doors unlocked, were left at night outside the Vatican City's high walls, so homeless people could take turns going inside the cars to warm up. Several homeless sleep outside, under Vatican porticoes.
Archbishop Konrad Krajewski, the papal almoner and point man for Pope Francis' aid to the homeless around the Vatican, was unavailable for comment Jan. 9. However, Italian media reported that he left a van and another automobile from his office unlocked and parked outside the Vatican over the weekend so the homeless could take turns using it for shelter.

Two million Muslims recently completed the once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to Mecca, the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad. More than a billion Muslims across the globe turn to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to offer their five daily prayers. The holy cities of Mecca and Medina are the birthplace of Islam, yet extremism is being disseminated and propagated by the current rulers from there.
Unfortunately, many Muslim scholars and leaders turn a blind eye to this troubling reality. The Wahhabi/Salafi ideology, with a long history of spreading extremism resulting in killings, is behind this. The House of Saud is extremely unpopular among Muslims and is often referred to as "Um al fasad" (Arabic for "mother of corruption"). Regrettably, Muslim nations around the world also continue to remain silent.
Wahhabi bigotry has led to destruction of Islamic heritage sites in Mecca and Medina. If the Islamic State destroys Christian and Muslim shrines, it is because the precedent was set in 1925 by Wahhabis who demolished 1,400-year-old tombs in Jannat al Baqi cemetery in Medina. In recent years, Wahhabis carried out similar acts of vandalism by destroying religious sites from Indonesia to Mali.
The Saudis are now set on demolishing the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad and other historical structures in the heart of Mecca and Medina. Over the last two decades, most of Mecca's historic sites have been bulldozed and replaced by hotels and other concrete structures. Failure to protect them from destruction is the biggest tragedy for Islamic heritage sites.
The Saudi royal family claims to be guardians of holy places of Islam and profits hugely from pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina, yet it is busy desecrating the holiest sites in the Islamic world. The oil-rich orthodox state funneled money to the Taliban, which detonated the Buddha statue in Bamiyan in 2000. The cultural vandalism in the destruction of Mecca is indicative of a profound ignorance of history, heritage, art and beauty.
Wahhabism originated in Saudi Arabia, where it is enforced as state ideology. Named after its founder, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, Wahhabism insists on a literal interpretation of religious texts. Wahhabis believe those who don't accept their version of religion are infidels.
Unlike a majority of Sunnis, Wahhabis are evangelicals who wish to convert Muslims and others to their version of Islam. Textbooks in Saudi schools and universities teach Wahhabi doctrine, and universities recruit students from around the world to train them in Wahhabi fanaticism before unleashing them on communities in places such as North Africa, Asia and the Balkans.
Wahhabism imposes the most severe restrictions on the freedom of women. They cannot obtain a passport or travel without permission of a male relative; they are not even allowed to drive cars. Extreme gender segregation and strict dress code are enforced.
Recently Saudi Arabia donated $100 million to the United Nations to counter extremism. It is hypocritical to finance extremists such as al-Qaida, the Islamic State, Boko Haram, al-Shabab and others while claiming to be fighting them.
For five decades, Saudi Arabia has sponsored Wahhabi extremism across the globe with revenue from oil and pilgrimages. Wahhabism's explosive growth began in the 1970s when Saudi charities started funding Wahhabi schools and mosques from Pakistan to the U.S.
Vice President Joe Biden, speaking last month at Harvard University, said America's allies — Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE — are responsible for funding and arming extremists in the region.
Saudi-sponsored extremist terrorist groups — Islamic State, Taliban and al-Qaida — target Shias, often labeled as infidels. The Saudis are both anti-Shia and anti-democracy and preach hatred of non-Muslims.
Islamic State proudly brags about its claim of killing thousands of Shia Iraqi soldiers upon its incursion into Mosul. Retired Gen. Wesley Clark says Saudi Arabia and Qatar should take responsibility for creating the threat that both they and the West now face from Islamic State, adding "The Saudis have for years funded extremism. Their money's all over the region."
The U.S. is willing to aid and protect Saudi Arabia as long as oil companies receive lucrative contracts and weapons manufacturers can sell their wares. The Obama administration refuses to confront the evil ideology of Wahhabism or stand for democracy in Bahrain.
Muslims should be in no doubt that acts of terrorism do not speak for Islam, and that perpetrators of terrorism will get no shelter or moral support from people who love God.
Mohammed Khaku, who lives in Upper Macungie Township, is active in the Islamic community of the Lehigh Valley.

The dust hasn't quite settled yet from this past Sunday's Paris-Roubaix—and the riders have at least one more day before it has cleared their lungs—so we're still talking about the race. And though no worn-out string of clichés and superflous adjectives can do adequate justice to Fabian Cancellara's victory, we're happy to know that people are also interested in the more human side of the sport—in the dreamers and also-rans.
In Last But Not Least, his piece for Rouleur, writer Andy McGrath tells the story of Chris Juul Jensen, the rider who finished dead last in Roubaix this year. Professional bike racers typically don't ride all the way to the finish just for the satisfaction of doing so—but Paris-Roubaix is something special.
And then there's this poignant video from NOS, which shows the race from a perspective you didn't see on Sunday's television broadcast—the view from from the back, from the broom wagon. Climbing into the broom wagon always leaves a little scar on your soul, as the pain of riding on alone is traded for the shame of admitting total defeat. For me, the worst part of the broom-wagon ordeal was watching, and feeling utterly helpless, as my bike was loaded onto a trailer or into the back of a large van.

Teaming up to build champions
Iron Dukes member and Duke professor, George Grody, is teaming up with Duke Athletics to help make the Duke student-athlete experience possible. Hear how George is choosing to invest in Duke student-athletes.
"I used to be like many of you—A Duke grad (Class of '81 for me), proud of my Duke degree, proudly wearing my Duke gear, and a huge fan of Duke Athletics. After retiring I came back to Duke to teach. As I've had the opportunity to teach and mentor Duke student-athletes, the big change for me has been becoming less of a Duke fan and infinitely more of a Duke student-athlete fan. I don't see myself as donating to Duke; instead, I invest in Duke student-athletes!" George Grody '81
Current Duke University Marching Band Director, Jeff Au, and Marching Band Board member, Dr. Mike Rosen T'84, "teamed up" to create the first ever operating endowment in support of the Duke University Marching Band. A long time vision for Jeff, this endowment was created to provide an opportunity for former band members to honor their directors and all they contributed to Duke. Furthermore, this endowment will provide additional operating support for the marching band for years to come and will positively impact the experience of all Duke University band members.
The Duke Squash Endowment Fund was led by four ambitious Duke families, and the strong passion for the sport of squash. Kenneth W. Hubbard & Victoria Dauphinot, Robert & Gillian Steel, Bernard F. Curry III & Cynthia Foster and Daniel Eugene Waters & Victoria Bostock Waters, "teamed up" to create the first Squash Club operating endowment. Moreover, the enthusiasm to make Duke Squash Club the very best club they can be and to have funds available to the club, in perpetuity.
Cliff's wife, Elizabeth "Buff" Perry, and their children, Elizabeth, Annie, and Cliff III, "teamed up" to surprise their father with an operational endowment for Duke Men's Golf. The family wanted to cement Cliff's legacy within the golf programs by creating this endowment which will provide operational support to the teams in perpetuity. In keeping with their family tradition, Cliff's father also has an athletics scholarship endowment.
The Duke True Campaign was led by four Field Hockey alumni who had aspirations of engaging and growing the support of the field hockey program. The campaign set out to raise $1 Million which could not be done by only one person, so over 75 donors came together to raise the resources necessary to rebuild the Field Hockey building. Former players, parents, and friends of the program "teamed up" to help make the Duke Field Hockey team's dream come true.
In honor of her years of service to Duke Football and Duke Athletics, Scott Wolcott has created an endowment in honor of Mary Dinkins. During her 44 years serving Duke, Mary served as a student worker for the Football Program, assistant to the Head Football Coach and Director of the Varsity Club before retiring in 2016. In the fall of 2016, Mary was inducted into the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame for her lifelong commitment to Duke Athletics. Mary has been a fixture here and has served as the connection back to Duke for hundreds of Duke student-athletes. Her love for and relationship with every athlete to pass through Duke during her years here is priceless. Scott will spearhead the charge to get others to donate in honor of Mary and all she means to Duke.
We need you on our team. Join or renew your Iron Dukes membership today!

Receive Bank E-statements
Bank statements often run several pages to dozens of pages for more complex accounts, and often, even those who switch to online banking keep the paper statements coming. One study showed that even among those who do pay bills or bank online, only about 15 to 40 percent opt out of receiving a paper bank statement, preferring to have it mailed snail mail [source: Laise; Pulliam Weston].
Switching to online banking saves time and eliminates paperwork build-up, but it also can help by doing exactly what a paper bank statement does, but without the paper. Bank statements are available online in their entirety and exactly as they would be printed on paper. These statements can be viewed from within your account, printed as needed and saved as different file formats if you want to download a copy to put on a hard drive or portable storage device.
You can still review your accounts and balance your checkbooks, debit and credit accounts as usual, just without the stacks of paper. Any issues or discrepancies between your accounting and the bank's records can be reconciled in the same way they would be if you had a piece of paper in front of you -- and you will still have a copy of the paper available to access any time, from anywhere you can log in to your account. Some banks even offer waived fees or incentives for switching to online only.
Getting rid of the paper also lowers the risk of having someone get a hold of your account information either through regular mail or through the trash. But there are some safeguards to consider, next.

Iran War: Countdown to Israel DoomsdayDr. Ismail Salami Salem-News.com
Israel must ask itself: how many Iranian missiles can the Zionist entity take 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? 100,000? 150,000 or more?
(TEHRAN) - "Why on earth is the Zionist regime making threats against Iran? How many missiles have they prepared themselves for? 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? 100,000? 150,000 or more?"
These words were expressed in full force on November 27, 2011 by Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.
He warned Tel Aviv that "If the Zionist regime ever decides to carry out its threats against Iran, the Basij forces will exact revenge on the entity for its long span of bullying oppressed nations."
There is a recently renewed call for military strike on Iranian nuclear sites on the part of the Zionist regime. It is reported that the voices coming from the offices of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak about Iran are "worrisome".
Governor of the Bank of Israel Stanley Fischer says that Iran strike spells security and financial crisis and that the entity is gearing to deal with recession.
"The primary responsibility of each country is to maintain its security. It is possible to describe situations of widespread war which would be very difficult to deal with. We are preparing for a major crisis and for security situation which is much worse," Fischer said in an interview with Channel 2 News on Friday.
Saudi Arabia has warned Israel that it would shoot down any Israeli fighter jets that enter its airspace en route to an attack on Iran. Israeli jets to enter its airspace if Israel coordinates the military strike with Washington and does not embark on military strike unilaterally.
More to the point, Western presstitute media have ratcheted up an anti-Iran campaign at the behest of their Zionist masters with the express intention of rending any possible Israeli strike on Iran legitimate in the eyes of the western community. In line with this satanic policy and in order to add fuel to fire, Reuters reported that ran has stepped up work to develop a nuclear warhead, quoting Israeli newspapers as saying on Sunday.
On Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak shamelessly lied to the media and said that US President Barack Obama had received a new National Intelligence Estimate to the effect that Iran had made significant and surprising progress toward military nuclear capability. However, US officials said on Thursday the United States still believes that Iran is not on the verge of having a nuclear weapon and that Tehran has not made a decision to pursue one.
A White House National Security Council spokesman refuted the Israeli reports, saying the US intelligence assessment of Iran's nuclear activities had not changed since earlier this year.
"We believe that there is time and space to continue to pursue a diplomatic path, backed by growing international pressure on the Iranian government," the spokesman said. "We continue to assess that Iran is not on the verge of achieving a nuclear weapon." Unfortunately, the international community is prone to forget that Israel is the thieving entity and that it is an irresponsible regime with a huge arsenal of at least 300 nuclear warheads at its disposal. It is excruciatingly manifest that the nuclear reality of Israel and what immeasurable destruction it can wreak on the entire region and the world are often consigned to oblivion and any suggestion to that effect is brushed away with a gesture of nonchalance. Ironically, global ignorance is turned into an asset for the Israeli regime in order to carry on or out with its threats against Iran.
In fact, what torments the Israeli officials tremendously is that Iran is paying no attention to the US-orchestrated illegal sanctions. Iran believes that the sanctions are like obstacles placed on its path by ill wishers and that they have to be overcome in one way or another. In other words, Iran stands tall against the bullies and their heavy-handed tactics.
That is why the Israeli top echelons have taken recourse to lies and rumors about the country. From a military point of view, Iran is an extremely powerful country. In July, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) test-fired indigenous missiles in a three-day military drill codenamed The Great Prophet 7.
A number of missiles were test-fired including Shahab (Meteor) 1, 2, 3, Khalij Fars (Persian Gulf), Tondar (Lightning), Fateh (Victor) and Zelzal (earthquake) as well as Qiam (Uprising).
The Pentagon has recently confessed to the "lethality and effectiveness" of Iranian missiles, saying that Tehran is a "formidable force" in defending its territory.
According to a June 29 report by the Pentagon, "Iran has boosted the lethality and effectiveness of existing systems by improving accuracy and developing new submunition payloads" that "extend the destructive power over a wider area than a solid warhead.Signed by US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the report had been submitted to the four US congressional defense committees to comply with a 2010 directive to provide an annual classified and unclassified assessment of Iran's military power.
Be that as it may, Iran's prodigious military capabilities, as it has often pointed out, are defensive and will only be used against aggressors and those who threaten the country's territorial integrity.
But if Israel ever ventures into a military strike against Iran, it must ask itself this question first: how many Iranian missiles can the Zionist entity take 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? 100,000? 150,000 or more?
Dr. Ismail Salami is an Iranian writer, Middle East expert, Iranologist and lexicographer. He writes extensively on the US and Middle East issues and his articles have been translated into a number of languages.
Dr. Salami examines the historical developments that impact national relations today, and the way western people view Iran. Salem-News.com has carried stories from Iranian writers for years and the critical politics have been and remain under our microscope of truth and fair play. This is essential in a world teetering on the brink of a third world war, over continual unfounded allegations of Iran's development of enriched uranium for a nuclear bomb.
The stark irony of the story is that Iran's primary accuser, Israel, is in possession of hundreds of nuclear weapons, the very type they accuse Iran of "plotting" to develop. In truth, Iran has almost no history of aggression toward the United States.
Misinformation shapes opinion, and a large percentage of Americans have never been provided accurate information about the history of Iran and the western powers and their eternal quests for cheap oil. They don't comprehend the fact that Iran was ruled by the west, by proxy, throughout the years of the Shah, and that this only ended with the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

It is a rare person like you who reads the direct quote from the head of the Iranian armed forces saying his country's goal is to destroy a member of the UN, but then you conclude that Israel is the aggressor here.
Editor: I'm OK with prosecuting war criminals, I am very OK with arresting murderers and law violators. I have been publishing stories about Israel's absurd goal of attacking Iran for years, read that Brian... years. Now it is reaching this point. What is it? The culture, does it reinforce this type of one-sided thinking? I fight for one race, the human race, and its enemies are my enemies, it is a broad picture and not my fault that Israel's history of illegal conduct is so damned problematic.
Brian Cohen August 15, 2012 3:43 pm (Pacific time)
You fools are so full of your anti-Israel hatred that you totally ignore the facts. Here, read it for yourself:
Editor: People are aware of what is going on, they know Israel is in its warring position because of its attempt to destroy the Palestinian culture. Iran is being targeted and there is not a reason in the world. Israel has hundreds of illegal nuclear weapons that are all undeclared and in stark violation of international law. Nobody wants war but we want to remind people that Iran is a formidable nation with excellent defenses, and that if Israel insists on bringing a fight to this land, that it will be terrible and ugly and any Israeli who roots for this actually are the ones begging for the destruction of the place. That would be you Brian.

However did we get it all so backwards? As a signatory to the Non Proliferation Treaty, Iran has an internationally recognized right to develop and implement nuclear technology. Israel rejected the NPT and has no such right. Yet, the Jewish state has ICBM nukes and openly threatens Iran; actually campaigns for war against Iran. Israel, not Iran, should be sanctioned and forced to reveal its nuclear machinations to IAEA inspection. However did we get it all so backwards?
JohnWV August 13, 2012 2:23 am (Pacific time)
Iran is only Israel's current fixation. America's entire electoral system has been corrupted by Netanyahu's Israel, AIPAC, Israel Firsters and ingenious distribution of enormous amounts of Jewish money. Our representative democracy is nearly defeated and the destruction of America as we know it well underway. Termination of the criminal treachery and treason demands immediate priority. The Government of the United States must again serve American interests, not the Jewish state's relentless pursuit of invulnerability, territorial conquest and apartheid supremacist empire in, and beyond, the Mideast.

"Captain America: The First Avenger" proved its strength at the box office this weekend, facing off against the powerful force that is "Harry Potter" and coming out on top.
The 3-D film starring Chris Evans, which was the fourth and final big-budget superhero movie to be released this summer, collected a solid $65.8 million this weekend, according to an estimate from distributor Paramount Pictures.
Meanwhile, after grossing more in its worldwide opening last weekend than any film in history, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2" saw its ticket sales tumble quite a bit. The movie made an additional $48.1 million this weekend, meaning receipts fell a sizeable 72% from last weekend. The domestic total for the final "Potter" film now stands at $274.2 million.
The weekend's other new release, the sexy, R-rated comedy "Friends with Benefits," started off with a decent $18.5 million.
"Captain America" was produced by the Walt Disney Pictures-owned Marvel Entertainment for around $140 million but is being distributed by Paramount Pictures. That means Disney will receive the majority of the profits or incur any losses from the movie.
The film, about a weak military reject who is transformed into a superhero via a government program, had virtually the same opening weekend as another Paramount/Marvel production out earlier this summer — "Thor." That movie, also based on a popular comic book hero, opened to $65.7 million in May.
Both films attracted slightly more men than women, as 64% of the audience for "Captain America" was male. But the crowd liked "Captain America" a little more than the film about the Norse god: Audiences assigned this weekend's release an average grade of A-minus, according to market research firm CinemaScore, compared to Thor's B-plus grade. Paramount is hoping that means "Captain America" will hold up even better than "Thor," which saw ticket sales drop only 47% in its second weekend in theaters and has since grossed $445.8 million worldwide.
But audiences were more willing to pay higher ticket prices to see "Thor" in 3-D than they were for "Captain America." About 60% of the first weekend sales for "Thor" came from 3-D ticket receipts, compared with 40% for "Captain America." However, "Captain America" was not released in Imax theaters, which accounted for 10% of the 3-D sales for "Thor."
Overseas, "Captain America" opened only in Italy, where it took in $2.8 million. The film will roll out in 23 additional foreign markets this week.
"Friends With Benefits," starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as two buddies who decide to try for a sexual but nonromantic relationship, was produced by Sony's Screen Gems label for about $35 million. The movie appealed largely to women, as 62% of the crowd was female. Those who saw the film liked it, giving it an average grade of B-plus.
While the movie is off to a good start at the box office, it still had a slightly lower opening than "No Strings Attached," a movie released in January with an extremely similar premise. That film, in which Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher star as two buddies who sleep together and attempt to maintain their friendship, opened to $19.7 million. The film was also produced for a modest cost and went on to become a sleeper hit, grossing $147.8 million worldwide by the end of its run in theaters.
In limited release, Fox Searchlight debuted the science fiction love story "Another Earth" in four theaters, where it collected $78,413 for a good per-theater average of $19,600. The film, starring up-and-coming young actress/writer Brit Marling, premiered to positive buzz at the Sundance Film Festival this year. And another film in limited release, "Sarah's Key," had an even better opening weekend. The film, based on the bestselling book about a Parisian journalist and distributed by the Weinstein Co., grossed $117,045 from five theaters for a per-theater average of $23,409.
[Updated, 10:32 a.m.: "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" has officially become Paramount's highest-grossing film ever overseas, this weekend passing the half-billion mark abroad. Overseas, the film collected $62 million from 60 foreign markets, bringing its international total to $556.6 million. The movie debuted this weekend in China, where it had the biggest opening for an American film ever in the country with $40 million.
Here are the top 10 movies at the domestic box office, with international grosses when available, according to studio estimates and Hollywood.com:
2. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2" (Warner Bros.): $48.1 million on its second weekend, down 72%. $121.3 million overseas in 59 foreign markets. Domestic total: $274.2 million. International total: $560.4 million.
3. "Friends with Benefits" (Sony): Opened to $18.5 million.
4. "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (Paramount): $12 million on its fourth weekend, down 44%. $62 million overseas in 60 foreign markets. Domestic total: $325.8 million. International total: $556.6 million.
5. "Horrible Bosses" (Warner Bros.): $11.7 million on its third weekend, down 34%. Domestic total: $82.4 million.6. "Zookeeper" (MGM/Sony): $8.7 million on its third weekend, down 29%. $9 million overseas in 35 foreign markets. Domestic total: $59.2 million. International total: $28.8 million.
7. "Cars 2" (Disney/Pixar): $5.7 million on its fifth weekend, down 32%. $17.7 million overseas in 31 foreign markets. Domestic total: $176.4 million. International total: $173.7 million.
8. "Winnie the Pooh" (Disney): $5.1 million on its second weekend, down 35%. Domestic total: $17.6 million.
9. "Bad Teacher" (Sony): $2.6 million on its fifth weekend, down 50%. $7.9 million overseas in 32 foreign markets. Domestic total: $94.3 million. International total: $70.2 million.
10. "Midnight in Paris" (Sony Pictures Classics): $1.9 million on its tenth weekend, up 1%. Domestic total: $48.9 million.]

Lowrys exceed auction estimates
Nine paintings by LS Lowry from the collection of novelist Frederick Forsyth have sold for more than £1.7m.
Forsyth had said he was auctioning his collection of Lowry paintings because their "novelty has worn off", but they managed to exceed their combined estimate of £1m.
Among the paintings was a Northern River Scene - a dramatic panorama of the city of Lincoln - which was expected to fetch between £200,00 and £300,000.
The painting eventually sold for nearly £500,000.
A painting of Middlesbrough Town Hall, which Forsyth bought from entertainer Max Bygraves, sold for £245,750 - more than £50,000 more than its asking price.
A painting called The Bus Stop also fetched £256,750 while a Narrow Street was sold for £245,750.
Industrial landscapes
Lawrence Stephen Lowry was born and spent most of his life in Manchester.
"Lowry was a melancholy compulsive who painted the industrial north of England through deeply disturbed eyes, and caught aspects that nobody was prepared to look at," says art critic Jonathan Jones.
He was a complex, solitary man but public interest in his work slowly gathered.
By the time he died in 1977 he was the most famous painter in Britain.
"All seem to be locked in thought, some pressing forward upon a personal errand, some gazing melancholy into the distance, others about to say something to the figure next to him," he said.
The cachet of the best-selling author's interest in Lowry's work may have boosted the sales figures, as recent Lowry sales have not so been successful.
Last summer two Lowry paintings - Iron Works and Manchester City vs Sheffield United, failed to fetch their reserve prices at a Sotheby's auction.
Then in December an oil on canvas painting of a Welsh colliery was withdrawn from sale having failed to reach its price of £1m.

Golden Retriever Khloe
Hi, I'm Khloe and I'm a Golden Retriever. I've been coming to Doggie Playland since I was a little puppy and I love it here!
I'm a social butterfly and I enjoy playing with all the dogs. I'm a bit shy with new people but once I get to know them, I love to play with them too.
The daycare staff thinks I'm pretty smart because I've learned some of the dogs' names. When the staff calls a dog, I'm able to run over to the dog and help bring them back. It's a fun job and after all I AM a retriever!
Want to know something awesome? My mom usually brings me to Doggie Playland about three times a week. And today is one of those days. How lucky am I?!

How to Forage Safely as a Beginner
Disclaimer: Always seek local advise prior to consumption of wild mushrooms.
I guess, to be completely honest, the best ways to forage as beginner would be to either hire a guide to take you or attend some sort of class. However, I'm going to come at this thing assuming most people are at least somewhat like me and bit tight with the budget. Truly, and even still, I plan to hire a pro, at some point, to take me foraging, but arriving in North Carolina, where it seems foraging is pastime for many, I wasn't willing to wait for that point in time.
Luckily, I've managed to make it through my first six months without any mishaps. I started with some common plants in the spring, when visiting a farm—Snaggy Mountain—in Burnsville, North Carolina. From there and then, my wife Emma and I cautiously ventured into mushroom foraging, which has come to dominate our nearly daily hikes into the forest. Suffice it to say, we are eating some delicious treats without any cost or energy spent cultivating.
We literally bring home mushrooms on weekly—usually multiple times—basis, but the excitement of finding a little fungi has not waned. In fact, adding a new species to the list only seems all the more wonderful. Six months ago, however, it was hard to envision ourselves being here: Confident foragers, able to enter the forest and come out with a basket full of treats with no reservations as to whether or not we are going to poison ourselves.
Here's how we got there.
Pay Attention When Someone Knows Something
While we've never taken a lesson, we've been around a couple of people who knew about foraging. At Snaggy Mountain this past spring, the owner Jared took us on a clambering walk in the woods behind his house, pointing out a huge assortment of edibles: trout lily, chickweed, wood sorrel, crinkle root, fiddleheads, pineapple weed, and many others. We further researched the names that we could remember, and the ones we were comfortable finding became commonplace in our meals. Suddenly, we were eating nearly ten foraged plants on a regular basis. Without Jared's guidance at the beginning, we likely would have um-ed and ah-ed for weeks or months before trying anything. In other words, when the opportunity is there to pick up a thing or two, it pays to take it. We've eaten stacks of absolutely free food because of that one afternoon with Jared.
Our second breakthrough was when a friend named Micah, a native North Carolinian, joined us for a hike. Emma and I had been doing quite a bit of research on wild mushrooms, but we had absolutely no confidence in terms of actually harvesting some. We'd gotten to the point of tossing some new names around, feigning to look for them, but we were nowhere near to foraging any. Micah was really confident with certain mushrooms, and on our walk with, we found our first chanterelles. He also nonchalantly found his first ever cinnabar chanterelles. We ate them for dinner, and that was all the confidence building Emma and I needed. Within the next couple of weeks, we started harvesting chanterelles and cinnabars on our own.
Bite Off Only What You Can Chew
Not long ago, well into our foraging days, Emma and I had a walk on which we harvested two mushrooms we'd never picked before, let alone eaten: hedgehogs and honey mushrooms. We found another new species, lion's mane, that we would've picked had it not been past its prime, and we harvested a load of oyster mushrooms, which we had only identified once before. When we left the woods, I felt a bit rattled. I was used to spending two or three weeks poking around at new mushrooms, reading about them four or five times and seeing them on multiple occasions before going for it. I got spooked after grabbing two—nearly three—new species on the same day.
The thing is that there are hundreds of plants to be foraged out there, and it's completely doable. However, there are also some costly mistakes to be made for those who get ahead of themselves, and for me, that was the first time things seemed to move a smidge too fast. They hadn't. We went through our normal procedures, which I'll share in just a minute, but my gut told me—before I'd eaten anything, mind you—that I needed to be careful. We ate them all and live to tell the tale, but it was a good moment for realizing there were definitely still cautionary boundaries to uphold.
There are poisonous plants and fungi in the wild, so foraging does require some care and absolute certainty. We have been very patient and methodical about adding new options to our list, which is now up to eight mushrooms that we can find and positively ID (and we do so frequently). That means we've learned more than a mushroom a month. And, we can do slightly more than that in terms of plants. In my opinion, twenty different things to forage is a pretty nice repertoire for six months of practice, more than I'd imagined having back in April.
Keep to the Method and Add One at a Time
Early on, Emma and I decided we were happy to forage only what was easy to identify and leave the hardcore stuff to the pros. We have chosen plants and mushrooms that are considered difficult to mistake for something else, and just as importantly, we've made ourselves familiar with those possible mistakes, learning how to recognize them as something different. We've also chosen things that are very common. When the search for something seemed overly difficult, we simply moved on to the next easy meal.
For each thing we forage, we've spent a lot of time becoming familiar with it. Before we even thinking of picking something new, we know all the features it needs to have, and we know all the signs that tell us it might not be the right thing. When we find it, we both go through our mental checklist of these things, have a little discussion to double-check each other, and sometimes—all things being as they should—pick it. Sometimes, we just take pictures, go home, and check it again, saving the harvest for the next hike. At home, with our research at hand, we go through the checklist again.
After Micah, we've had no more in-the-flesh help with our foraging, yet we've added six new mushrooms with the help of research and Facebook groups. These have all been easy-to-find and easy-to-ID species, and we've carefully investigated before harvesting them. We do a spore print at home for one more positive identification. Still, we take several pictures of them and explain on the Facebook groups what we believe they are and why. (Definitely do your research before asking for an ID, the experts get annoyed with insufficient pictures from someone who has obviously made no effort to ID for themselves.) We don't eat anything until several experienced foragers have verified our ID. We've also adopted the practice of tasting a small bit and waiting 48 hours before eating a full serving, a common custom for making sure that there are no allergies or personal issues with mushrooms (not so much a poison thing).
Some people still wouldn't dare eat something from the wild without an expert on hand to tell them it's okay. The slow method we've used may seem overkill to others, but we are happy to and feel we should take our time. In other words, we are determined to both forage and not kill ourselves doing so. So far, so good. And, it's an extremely exciting addition to our hikes and walks.

Exploring the Errai FrameworkPosted: April 11th, 2013 | Author: sabre1041 | Filed under: Technology | Tags: Errai, GWT, JBoss, OpenShift | No Comments »
Errai UI
When developing GWT applications, there are typically two approaches when designing individual pages: adding components directly to the canvas, or using UIBinder declarative markup. Errai adds another option by featuring a templating engine which allows for the creation of components using straight HTML5. These components are similar to custom GWT components as they extend the Composite class, but leverage HTML5 for the markup. To enable Errai UI to an application, the following was added to the MathErrai.gwt.xml file:
<inherits name="org.jboss.errai.ui.UI" />
While you are free to add the markup to the host page (ErraiMath.html), my preference is to keep this page as clean as possible as to not limit the potential of the application. The template file utilized in the application is found in the MathErraiUiForm.html in the com.redhat.errai.math.client.local package. Errai takes advantage of the HTML5 custom data attribute where any component which needs to be referenced from a template utilizes the data-field attribute within the markup as follows:

To display a template within the div above, we annotated the Java class MathErraiUiForm with the @Templated annotation. Since we are targeting a specific DOM element, we specify the name of the component in our annotation as such:
@Templated("#mathPanel") public class MathErraiUiForm extends Composite {
Looking back at our requirements of the application, we want to be able to specify the type of operation, allow for input by the user and display the executions in a scoreboard component. Errai UI makes it easy to build a page quickly because the end result is a basic HTML markup. Similar to the template described earlier, all that is needed to allow the Java class to access to components is to add the data-field attribute to each element. For example, one of the input TextBoxes was configured on the HTML page with the following:
<input data-field="lhs" id="lhs" type="number" required="required" placeholder="Enter Value"/>
To reference the component in the Java class, we inject it as follows:
@Inject @DataField TextBox lhs;
We are also not limited to injecting only basic form components. To demonstrate we can utilize the full power of the GWT toolkit, the calculation scoreboard was built using GWT UiBinder. To reference the calculation scoreboard in the mathPanel Errai UI template, the following div component with the required data-field attribute was added:

Calculation Statistics Table

Similar to the TextBox example from above, we inject the component into our Java class:
@Inject @DataField CalculationStatisticsWidget calculationStatisticsWidget;
Finally, Errai UI provides event handling mechanisms by wiring methods annotated with the @EventHandler annotation. This is demonstrated in the MathErraiUiForm class to respond when a user changes the value of the operation ListBox.
@EventHandler("operations") void onOperationChange(ChangeEvent e)
This coding model is similar to GWT's UiHandler annotation within UiBinder.

Gift Etiquette Between a Boss & an Employee
Giving a gift to an employee shows you appreciate his work. Some small business owners, however, are concerned about the ethical and legal ramifications of gift giving -- and rightfully so. The type of gift you give, how you give it and its cost might imply the wrong meaning or cause other employees to feel left out.
Cash Value
No matter which gifts you choose for your worker, don't spend an excessive amount of money. Doing so might cause your employee to feel uncomfortable. Aim to spend $100 or less for employee gifts, as suggested by Medzilla.com. If you have more than one employee, spend the same amount of money on each person during the holidays. Exceptions to this rule include gifts for a personal assistant, personal secretary, retirement, achievement or an award.
Give multiple employees their gifts at the same time. This way, you avoid making other employees feel falsely left out or unappreciated. During a holiday party, hand out gifts at the table or before the meal. Otherwise, hand out gifts with all employees present or leave the gifts at employee desks prior to their arrival. Give retirement, achievement gifts or awards after an announcement, preferably during a celebration. This also helps avoids questions from other employees, as they might question your motives.
Gift Types
To avoid giving gifts that are too personal, choose gifts relevant to your employee's job. Suitable gits include business card holders, pens, passport holders or name plates. Sporting gifts, such as volleyball nets, tennis rackets, golf balls or spectator chairs are also acceptable, just don't leave anyone out. For example, if 40 percent of your staff play golf and the other 60 percent dislike the sport, think of another gift. Restaurant, grocery or movie gift certificates are also thoughtful. Traditional holiday gifts include fruit baskets or a turkey.
Special Occasions
Retirement, award and achievement gifts may exceed the $100 value. Employers may purchase baby shower or wedding gifts and send the gifts directly to the home of the employee. Don't give a special gift in front of other employees. Keep your gift simple, however -- don't give adult-themed or prank gift. Traditional gifts include a photo frame, dinnerware, glassware or a kitchen component. If you're tempted to buy a large gift, such as a vacation or savings bond, do the same for all of your employees during similar events.

The loom that came to life without its heddle
I have come to eagerly anticipate wintery days spent outside at Stave Hill Ecological Park with Shane, learning how to bundle up freshly harvested willow or using basketry techniques to build a heddle for our loom. All this gleaned while watching Shane's hands dancing with (sometimes precarious) expertise when pruning or untangling gardening twine between his fingers. I now have the pleasure of sharing my words regarding the day it all came together and we made our first loom at Stave Hill, without the aforementioned heddle!
|the discarded heddle
Shane and I started the morning off aiming to launch our Catalan platter inspired heddle but promptly changed our minds thanks to inspiration from Eric Boudry's Book of Looms. A method I would normally have used simply to walk the warp or measure out the threads became the backbone of our piece, and once it was in place there was no way we could thread the heddle without cutting loose the work we had already done.
All the hard thinking and speculation was worth it when we figured out how to interpret the illustration in the book as reality on site. We then had to fine-tune it with our hands; fingers repeatedly counted and recounted threads, the warp was combed to equalize the tension and willow cross bars were put in place.
A quote from the same book by Dr Junius Bird, curator emeritus of South American archaeology at the American Museum of Natural History (and possible real life inspiration for the fictional movie character Indiana Jones!) came to mind as we were musing on how to proceed with our making. Bird compares the invention of the heddle to the discovery of fire-making methods. Though the latter is much more significantly recognised historically, "both have an antiquity which, though by no means comparable, still remains a mystery". It was this mystery we had to untangle and it happened where the areas of our expertise overlapped, with only the means we had available to us at Stave Hill.
Making a new heddle involved Shane looping an extra bit of twine around a willow pole and picking up alternate threads from the warp. A shed stick was also required to complete the plain weave structure. There was some arguing over exactly how this was to work but we persisted and suddenly the gap required to insert the water reed as a weft materialized
The whole device needed to be operated by two arms moving laterally in opposing directions; there was no familiar up-down movement of the heddle here. The pair of heddle sticks had to alternately stand at ease and then be anchored in the ground to successfully open the right shed.
We continuously stepped back to gain perspective on the lines we had created and marvelled at these echoing the vertical growth of the trees. Close up the weaving framed undergrowth, the sky and our bodies alike with the horizontal contours we had mapped.
It is truly a unique loom, one so different to any I have worked with or built before, and which requires a pair of hands on either side of the warp. Weaving using this loom becomes a complex dance for two and a reflection of the working relationship that Shane and I have built up through the exchange of ideas and skills shared during our time at Stave Hill.
Looking back, it was great to exchange perspectives both verbally in the moment from our mirrored standpoints, as well as afterwards with the physical exchange of photographs. Repeatedly seeing the animated concentration on my face and in my hands, captured by Shane, brings back the magical wonder at making these two trees into a loom with as little as a few willow sticks and some gardening twine.
I can also now marvel at my serendipitous choice of clothing that day – I could never have planned to echo both the budding moss and the shade of twine chosen by Shane when I donned my fluorescent cycling jacket and sulphur woollens that morning!

In a piece posted at Free Republic, Kenny Bunk tells GOP presidential candidates to stop "trying to be all things to all focus groups" and to start telling Republican voters what they would do about the budget, taxes, immigration, Muslim terrorists, defense, energy, states' rights, health care, and social security.
"Since I already know from painful economic experience how bad things are, what I really need to know now is what are The Program and The Plans that you offer to set our country back on the right course?"
Bunk advises the field to stop worrying about being pilloried by the mainstream media and to go on the offensive and "attack Obama hard."
"[T]he MSM is going to pillory you … end of story. Punch back. Stop trying to be Politically Correct. You cannot be Politically Correct and do the job that has to be done. Attacking the MSM is just as good as attacking Obama. They are one and the same."
In addition, Bunk advises the GOP candidates to lead "from the strength of honestly stated views" and to stop pandering to minorities.
"You will never get a majority of the "Black" vote, the "Latino" vote, the "Jewish" vote. The "Gay and Lesbian" vote, or anywhere near it. Do not, I beg you, fear to offend those whom we have somehow already offended years ago by freeing them from slavery, welcoming them to live in the United States, defending Israel, and even by turning a blind eye to monstrous perversions."
Bunk's thought provoking piece offers the conservative candidates in the race some excellent advice. They would be wise to heed it.

Fall is just around the corner, which means that we can get back to layering and using more than just half of our wardrobes! The best part about being able to wear multiple layers is being able to experiment more with colors and prints. Z3 has a great range of Conversational & Minimal printed shirts this season that can help you spruce up some of your existing casual or work looks.
Floral for Fall
If at least a few men didn't have open minds when it comes to menswear, our lives would remain dull and lackluster. Men's wardrobes would be full of blue, beige and grey. But fortunately for us, this is not the case. Flowers don't just look good in gardens and in vases. They look great on men too. Read on for a guide to wearing florals this season. Read More…
Learn To Fly
Clothes usually are incapable of bestowing the gift of flight upon us. Unless of course you happen to rock Tony Stark's suit or a Power Ring. But sometimes the clothes you wear can make you appear and feel so fly, you might actually be rising above everyone else. Let's take a look at how you can do just that.

It doesn't matter whether you are decorating your home or your office. You can achieve a specific theme with the right use of décor. This may be the use of large pieces, such as furnishings. Sofas, loveseats, and high back chairs make an impression. Accent items can be used strategically in each room.
There are few more unique accents to use than colored ostrich feathers. These are items that can be placed on coffee tables or placed inside of arrangements. Decorators with crafty skills might want to incorporate feathers in things like window treatments or other displays in the room. Showing your sense of style is easy with the right materials and objectives.
Define the Space
There are rooms that a just bland and do not have a set definition. You can take over this space in any number of ways. One option is to find details that make the bedroom, den, or office unique. Feathers might be displayed in the form of wall paper or appliques on the wall. Trying different approaches will help you to make living spaces your own.
Add a Touch of Color
Color can make the difference in either a dark room or one that is bland. You have many options as it relates to adding color. Feathers of rainbow shades can be utilized throughout these spaces. Some homeowners will use this approach in decorating bathrooms and other areas of the home. Counter arrangements and displays are perfect for these items.
There are no set rules when it comes to interior décor. Homeowners often display their own sense of style by using things like feathers. Framing different color feathers and hanging them in specific rooms is a fantastic show of style. These are also ideas that can be repeated in an office environment. Making the setting visually appealing is the ultimate goal.

I have been actively promoting Information literacy through Study Skills over the last four years. Driven by the obvious need to improve students' expertise when researching and using resources, I was granted a Leading Edge funded project by my SLT. This began with an attempt at a Skills Audit across the curriculum leading to a pilot off-timetable day for Year 7 pupils and an extensive survey of information-gathering habits of our Sixth Form students.
The co-operation and collaboration with my teaching colleagues was paramount, as was the backing of members of the Curriculum Leadership Team (of which I am a member). The work culminated in a full report to senior management for discussion on how to develop Skills work across all Stages. Study Skills formed a complete strand of the Whole School Improvement Plan for the academic year 2009-10. Working jointly with a teaching colleague during this year we achieved the following changes
- slightly re-modelled the Skills Day
- created pages for KS3 student planners introducing a PLTS focus on a half-termly basis
- devised appropriate lessons to run in PDC in Year 10 and 11
- re-wrote the Year 11 revision pack which is also used for mentoring C/D candidates
- created a longer session for Sixth Form induction which includes a booklet which students access at their own pace
Information Literacy now has a fuller and more effective profile in my school and it has been rewarding to be able to use my skills as the information professional to improve students' independent learning in a radical way.
By Lin Smith, Ecclesbourne School
Information Literacy
Our school uses a skills-based approach to curriculum and learning through years seven to eleven, identifying five competencies which pupils will adopt by the end of their education to ensure they are competent learners and citizens. Of the five, one is to an information competent learner, which translates as being able to access, research, analyse, and evaluate information effectively, and to then use this to create something new. I have been involved with the working party for this competence in the development and implementation of the competency for our key stage four learners. I have been able to make valuable contributions to the group through my own research into, and knowledge of, information literacy, and worked closely with the member of staff with responsibility for competencies within the school to plan, shape and develop how the competency would be implemented.
I am now working with staff to help staff plan learning opportunities which cover the information competence in their lessons. I help to identify the skills they might want to highlight, the information sources that they can use, as well as developing resources to support the learning of our pupils.

For a DIY person, nothing comes close to learning about Martha Stewart's semi-new Craft Paint line – that she launched mid last year. I learned about it via Tatertots & Jello, a cool blog with lots of ideas.
If you live in a village, an island, or in certain parts of the Levant, then you must know the feeling of not being able to get your hands on products that can really make your life all that much easier, as an artisan.
I spend a lot of time looking in nooks and crannies, super stores, and small shops for alternatives for all of the cool products "out there." I have always craved products "out of reach," like Modge Podge. But this one happens to be "THE" one product that the Levant needs to start importing! (Hello merchants, are you hearing me?)
I would like to – very gladly – announce the Martha Stewart Craft Paint line as my Most Craved for Craft Product of the Year. I can easily state that this versatile, multi-surface, paint line is the dream of every crafter (at least this one here). It breaks my heart that they don't sell it over here.

TechBreakfast promotes STEM Education at Leith Walk Elementary School
Jayne Matthews Hopson | 10/18/2013, 6 a.m.
It's no secret our country's public schools are failing to educate many of our most promising students. Decades of education reform measures have cost millions, yielding at best mixed academic success. Post-industrial cities like Baltimore have been hardest hit in the wake of a shrinking tax base. Education funding has decreased while the number of families living below the poverty line has increased.
However, there is some encouraging news to share. A group of forward thinking business leaders from the technology community are actively seeking funds from their peers to help support STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering Math) in Baltimore City Public Schools.
Ron Schmelzer, the founder of TechBreakfast is the mastermind behind this innovative approach to improve our underfunded schools. Each week TechBreakfast will feature on its website one local Baltimore City School looking to raise money for a specific STEM project on DonorChoose.org.
The first beneficiaries are Mrs. Batchelor's kindergarten class at Leith Walk Elementary School. Her wish is to incorporate a projector and document camera into her lesson plan. "In this world that we live in, technology is a part of our everyday lives. Cell phones and iPads have become a part of just about every household" said Batchelor. "So why not use technology to enhance learning in the classroom?"
Batchelor is excited by the learning opportunities. "Not only will these tools enhance instruction, they will make learning and coming to school fun. It will keep my students engaged. Our classroom would have an abundance of interactive resources to re-enforce new skills and concepts. The document camera will guide instruction; the projector will make the screen larger and more interactive."
Schmelzer says, "We are really motivated to support STEM education in the Baltimore City Public School system. Technology and science provide the path to innovation, and we believe that the way to grow opportunity is to expand the opportunities for everyone in the innovation economy. We choose to use the DonorsChoose.org platform because you can see exactly where the money is going, what the costs are, and the funds are used to purchase specific items or supplies, which are sent directly to the school and teacher. We're doing this to help support STEM education in Baltimore City and our only benefit is seeing schools get their STEM needs met."
Nevertheless, I wish to bring into focus the significance of this partnership with Baltimore's growing technology community. TeachBreakfast is the largest tech meetup (a business networking group of common, shared interests) in the nation with over 5,000 members and over 1,000 attendees each month in Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington, D.C.; New York; Boston; Austin, Philadelphia; and Silicon Valley in California.
Schmelzer a MIT and Hopkins grad describes himself as a "parallel entrepreneur." He has started and sold a number of successful businesses. In addition to growing and expanding the TechBreakfast brand, he runs Bizelo, a software company providing a large set of inexpensive web applications for small businesses. By leveraging his wide-ranging business connections he hopes to inspire others to become more actively involved with a struggling school.

Fire by Sil
If you are still miss the sound of Sylver i think this new collaboration of Sil with Nils definitely change your mind... is the sound that every eurodance fan is been expected, and we hope that will be promoted enough to be heard all over world!!

Sil enjoys the summer
SIL for Eurosong
The sexy blond from belgian dance project Sylver - Silvy De Be is trying her luck this Sunday, on Belgian preselection for Eurovision. After her music colleagues Jessy, Nelson, 2Fabiola fight also to have opportunity to represent Belgium this year in Copenhagen at ESC.
What is different from others performance Sil act!? Her song entitled Where are you and her friends from Peter Pan who will help Sil this Sunday to impress the belgium public to send her in Danemark!
You can vote and support her here
Sil a foot passenger
It seems that for Belgian singer Silvy die Bie(Sylver) the bad lucks are started just from Monday!
The singer announced that she "lost" her driver licence for a week. I think this comes after the car incident that the blond was involved a few month ago.
Damn, no drivers license for 8 days ! #sucks wrote the singer on her Twitter.
We have a message for her just take it as a holiday Sil do you know that the walk makes beautiful legs!?
Recently she also released a video a cover after Paula Abdul - Straight up a song who was covered by Denise (Vengaboys) in 2003.

This song makes me laugh and dance... said the singer on FB
The 2nd one is no other then Silvy de Bie (Sylver) whos coming with a new video entitled "Watch out for him". A single who will be included on her solo material as Sil.
Sill said that was fun to make this video because she worked with a wonderful team and the result will be showed soon.
Sil involved in a car incident
UPDATE: The lead singer of belgian project Sylver - Silvy de Bie was involved in car incident on freeway in Belgian.
The singer said that only her car had some serious injuries, but the singer it's ok.
A couple of minutes was taken to hospital for another investigation.
The news accident was posted by the singer on her Facabook account!
When you are in the car leave your phone home or in the bag and concentrate over the road not how many likes you get on social networks! Life cannot be changed with likes and retweets ;-)
SIL a businesswoman
Is known very well that the blond from Sylver she is in love of Fashion. Silvy De Bie thought that a good business is ..when you sale what you love in this case: women clothes & accessories but also a secure future after you finish with your music carrer... so the hot blond invested in a store from Antwerp (Belgium), and it's called StagebySil....
The belgium womens can find there the latest fashion lines from famous designers. At the grand openening event were presented and her Sylver colleagues Dj Wout and John Miles Jr.
The singer said about this project "The greatest pleasure in life is doing what others said you never could."
We wish to Sil break a leg with the new project and we still wait new stuff from Sylver... more details about this check the site

Milk inc, Kate Ryan, Naan
Linda vs Sil According to Milk Inc fansite there are rumors according to which Silvy and Linda argued, because Sil wasn't at the last Blackout concert of the series.
Of course Milk inc fansite says this is not true, and as a proof they tell about the P-magazine photos...
The big enigma is that they say they were published in last week's P-magazine, whereas we all know it was in the P-magazine of mid-September.
Let's hope that it's only a rumor.
Thanks to Karine Sanche
Kate Ryan was yesterday on the belgian show Celeb Take Over were she presented the new album and she sung live her newest single "Evidemment" .

No. 31: Texas! No. 31 was looking jinxed. I had aborted attempts in three other states (Utah, Colorado and New Mexico) due to weather. And we thought we were getting thunderstorms. But today was epic: almost 6 miles in downtown Austin where we got to meet SUP Gladiator in person, on the water. Cade from Austin Paddle Sports rented us awesome Whiskeyjack paddles and Ron House race boards, which are several steps up from what we normally get when we rent.
We paddled under the Congress Avenue bridge where the night before we saw the world's largest urban bat colony emerge. When we were downwind of the bridge it didn't smell as good as upwind. We then paddled by a dog beach, topless (female) paddlers, awesome graffiti, the skyline by the sculpture of Stevie Ray Vaughn. My friend Michelle, who was my first paddler friend and is pictured below with SRV, paddled her eighth state today. She is an excellent enabler. We lucked into the Gelato World Tour and a place called Bourbon Girl after our paddle, so pretty much best. day. ever.
