Our short story is that we heard on the radio a 5 am that the tunnel was closed, so we went back to sleep and set off late around 10 to try get through the EuroTunnel shuttles. After spending some time in a traffic jam on the A20 caused by Operation Stack (another typical English Dad's Army band-aid-like approach to solving infrastructure issues) we came back on a trailer lorry after out car broke down. Which wasn't that bad since friends of ours spent 18 hours getting through -not that nice with two small children.
At no point Eurotunnel proactively contacted us to advise on the situation, either by email or telephone, mainstream media was at least 2 hours late and we got our most reliable information from Twitter and Facebook.
Jasmine Birtles puts it well here: How not to do it – lessons from Eurostar and Eurotunnel.
Use social media and use it properly. As I pointed out above, I've been following #eurostar and #eurotunnel for at least a week and it was quite clear from the start that neither had a proper social media strategy. Eurostar had brought in a fledgling social media company to promote itself on Twitter using the handle @little_break but they hadn't even taken up the @eurostar name which was used by a guy in China! It took them days to get round to tweeting information – it should have been minutes. People on the stranded trains were tweeting, angrily, the moment they got out of the tunnel. The anger and hatred poured out on the Twittersphere and Facebook (which set up a 'We hate Eurostar' group after just a day or so) and was largely ignored for the first all-important 48 hours after the incident. Social Media is here and is a very important means of communication. Ignore it at your peril.
Their web site was reduced to a single page, only referring to a telephone number. That number was diverted to a recorded message prompting to call that same number.
On the causes of the incident, they are now quite well documented (wrong kind of snow), but I must say the PR has been way better in France than in the UK -they got some journos onboard of the test trains, etc... As Daniele Beccari (@danbec) points out in his blog post "Eurostar communication failure: here is a glimpse of what caused it" point out details of the communication breakdown between Eurostar and Eurotunnel, in particular when it comes down to liaising with the staff in the trains inside the tunnel, it's far from clear whom the responsibility lies with.
Daniele concludes that he is "now getting nervous for my future travels, because I don't like the idea of being left alone in an emergency situation due to gaps in responsibilities."
This same post also goes on to comment that incredible Eurotunnel press statement fingerpointing Eurostar -well worth a read for anyone in communications. They accused Kent Police too -can't think this will benefit them in any ways...
His conclusions:
- Eurostar staff inside the trains was probably not allowed to do and say anything at all. They have probably been waiting for information from Eurostar HQ, which was in turn waiting for information from Eurotunnel HQ.
- Eurotunnel staff have executed the emergency operations, and they probably have the instructions to report to central without leaking any information – even to Eurostar staff.
- Eurotunnel HQ has probably taken the time to verify every detail and ensure control before communicating to Eurostar.
- Eurotunnel is not a consumer facing company. Hence I am not sure if they have any marketing, customer service or consumer focused PR agency. I am not sure if they have any procedure for external communication at all. [There is an @eurotunnel Twitter account but it seems never been used].
- This is probably a stretch, but if Eurotunnel zone of responsibility stops just outside the tunnel I wonder if this explains the reports from passengers that they had to wait again for hours once outside the tunnel for someone to come and pick them up.
On my side've tried to send them an email, but all I only ever get was an autoresponder.
Heather Yaxley MIPR echoes this in her post "
- Marketing messages are still being communicated – I called the Eurotunnel FlexiPlus phone number yesterday (to cancel a booking) and instantly was advised this was the fastest route to France. What a joke!
- When there is a crisis, hiding behind recorded messages is insulting. In the case of Eurotunnel, the customer information line (08444 630000) provided little information and directed customers to the web (www.eurotunnel.com) to rebook. That means of communication was equally poor – and only allowed you to select another date, to travel in the same direction. The online instruction was to call the customer contact centre (08443 35 35 35) to cancel – which was another pathetic recorded message. (Or you can email: email@example.com) Hence, under "contact us" I found the FlexiPlus premium customer line (0844 335 3335) answered (after the marking message) by a real person. Although no apologies were expressed my cancellation was efficiently wiped off the system with a "phew that's one out of the way" attitude.
- There has been no direct communication with people booked onto either Eurostar or Eurotunnel – and this seems common in other organisations such as the airlines. When making most travel bookings, you are required to provide email and mobile phone contact details. So, why not use these to actually update customers. Relying on media reports, rarely updated websites or recorded customer phone lines does not put the company in control of its own communications. Hence people turn to Twitter and other forums where wider criticism of the organisations soon escalates. I was busy packing my car to leave yesterday when my mum called – she lives in France but heard a television news report regarding Eurotunnel's "saturation" meltdown – without this, I would have been stuck with two dogs in freezing conditions for hours. A text or email – or preferably both – would have been simple. After all, my dentist, doctor and car dealer all manage to do this for routine matters.
The information provided by Eurotunnel on the situation was to not travel and we decided to tempt our chances again on Tuesday 22nd. We had been unable to either call Eurostar or change our booking via your web site as the reservation below did include a password.
At this point, Eurotunnel was still indicating long delays and even that your Folkestone terminal was closed.
We eventually crossed but this has not only costed us a 180 miles roundtrip and a full day in the car for nothing and we missed two important Christmas celebrations with some relatives we typically only see once a year.
We arrived there and saw the shortest queues we've ever experienced in over 12 years of regular custom!
Bottom line:
I believe all that could have been much better managed by Eurotunnel (not to mention Eurostar), via real time communication with their customers by SMS, email and some PR that would focus on actually helping customers (rather than finger pointing Eurostar). Or put in other words, their response has simply been inadequate: answerphone, autoresponder, finger pointing PR.
I've asked Eurotunnel a full refund of my ticket, some vouchers for a new crossing in the future and £100 in compensation for the journey that we undertook in vain and the expenses incurred then. We'll see what we get...
Slate.fr explains (in French) that UK is now much more European than it was 15 years ago and that Brits can't now do without the tunnel anymore. UK isn't an island then?

Portland Commissioner Dan Saltzman will serve a fifth term after voters reelected him Tuesday night (The Oregonian).
(Benjamin Brink/The Oregonian)
Voters appear poised to elect Dan Saltzman, already the dean of the Portland City Council, to a fifth consecutive four-year term.
In partial returns, Saltzman was headed to an easy election night victory on Tuesday, beating out a field of three candidates with a commanding 64 percent of the vote at 8:01 p.m.
"I've feeling very humbled, very thankful," Saltzman said Tuesday from his election night party at Produce Row on the Central Eastside.
Saltzman said voters connected with his commitment to children and families, through his Portland Children's levy, and because he's a "strong independent voice" on City Council.
Thirty-year-old Nicholas Caleb, an adjunct professor at Concordia University, was trailing Saltzman with 17 percent of the vote.
If the trend continues, Saltzman will become the longest tenured member of city council since William Bowes served 30 years on the elected body before retiring in 1969.
The 60-year-old Saltzman was first elected to City council in 1998. He served on the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners for five years prior to moving to City Hall.
Best known in public life for his work to support battered women and children, Saltzman is an engineer and son of a prominent Portland family.
He helped pass the Portland Children's Levy, oversaw the historic $1.4 billion Big Pipe sewer construction project and spearheaded the Gateway Center for Domestic Violence.
Most recently, Saltzman said he felt reinvigorated by two new bureau assignments -- the Fire Bureau and the Housing Bureau -- given to the veteran commissioner by Mayor Charlie Hales last summer. All told, Saltzman has guided 10 city bureaus in 13 years.
Saltzman, who twice convinced Portland voters to approve public pension reforms, currently oversees the Fire Bureau, where he said he expects to further push the envelope of reform in the coming years.
The Housing Bureau, another new assignment, will be another focus area for Saltzman. He said one of his plans is to "to dramatically tilt the balance" – meaning help increase – the number of affordable housing units in the city while also trying to reduce the homeless population citywide.
In an interview prior the election, Saltzman said he will push for a permanent funding model for the Portland Children's Levy. The levy is currently funded for five years, approved by voters last May, and will again go up for a vote unless a permanent funding source can be found. Saltzman intimated that the Multnomah County Library district serves as a possible model for the levy's future.
Caleb made the most headlines of Saltzman's three opponents by advocating for a $15 minimum living wage. Saltzman and other prominent Portland area politicians followed suit, and Saltzman called for the state legislature to change the law that gives Salem oversight of the minimum wages across the state.
Saltzman gave credit to Caleb and his other opponents for running a fair and clean campaign.
He also added that he will continue to "advocate for equal pay and equal wages."
Saltzman, who sits on the board of directors of the League of Oregon Cities, said he would also push for legislative reform to increase the minimum wage for Portlanders.

A week or so ago, I replied to a comment posted to a blog by Don Boudreaux on his site, CafeHayek (LINK to his piece here). In brief, Mr. Boudreaux made the case that the new health care law distorts markets and reduces freedom and choice, all at a cost of worse health care in general. The comment was written by a Mr. Smith who suggested that the government should inject itself into the health care business, otherwise cures for deadly diseases might go undiscovered. I wrote:
Mr. Smith:
Are you suggesting in your comment that the government has been the leading force in developing the 'miracle' drugs and processes that we've seen come out of the pharmaceutical industry in the last, say, 50 years?
My 15-year old son was born with severe club foot in both feet. Had, for example, his 48-year old father been born with the condition, he'd have never walked. Thanks to years and years of for-profit medical research that preceded his being born, my son is an accomplished wrestler, golfer and baseball player – and he stands up tall and hugs his father as often as I ask him for the favor.
No government agency did that for him. In exchange for money, the highly-trained, for-profit staff at Georgetown Medical Center did it for him. Keep your grimy hands off of that business, or move to Canada, sir.

Forster's Education Act did not provide universal, free or compulsory education, but it did allow for the glaring deficiencies in English education to be removed[1]. Before 1870 the system was characterised as one of state subsidy of voluntary education, the period after by state supplementation of voluntary education. Board schools and voluntary schools existed side by side, in theory complementary, in practice in competition. The 1870 Act was a compromise that tried to make use of and not destroy existing educational resources. It did not solve the problem of elementary schooling overnight and it took a further thirty years to make a national system of elementary schools fully a reality.
Religious squabbling continued in the elections for School Boards and in the attempts, particularly by Anglicans in county areas, to forestall the imposition of the School Boards. Initially the advantage lay with the existing voluntary schools and even by 1880 only one sixth of children were in board schools but the potential for growth lay with School Boards and by 1900 54 per cent of the elementary school population were in their schools.
- Many of the larger boroughs imposed bye-laws making education compulsory, that in turn increased revenue, since grants were still related to attendance, and it was partly as a means of helping the rural voluntary schools that Disraeli's ministry turned its attention to compulsion. For these schools, Lord Sandon the Vice-President, told the Cabinet in 1875 it was a matter of 'life or death'. The result, in 1876, was Sandon's Education Act that set up School Attendance Committees and placed the responsibility for ensuring attendance firmly on parents. It also gave voluntary schools the right to make attendance compulsory.
- Various loopholes were removed by the incoming Liberal ministry that by Mundella's Education Act 1880 made attendance compulsory for children between five and ten.
- This inevitably sharpened the debate about fees, that averaged about 3d per week per child and many School Boards waived the fee for needy children. The Fee Grant Act 1891 virtually established free elementary education and by 1895 only about one-sixth of the five million needy elementary children were paying fees.
- The availability of free education through School Boards made it easier to integrate pauper children into the general education system. An Act of 1873 had made school attendance a condition of outdoor relief for children, an option that had been open to guardians since Denison's Act of 1855 had empowered guardians to pay school fees. By 1900 the vast majority of Unions sent children to their local board school and so the distinctive badge of pauperism was gradually removed.
- The pernicious effects of payment by results were removed. The system had been severely criticised by the Cross Commission that reported in 1888 and in the 1890 Code grants for examinable attainments in the 3Rs were abolished.
It is important to recognise the achievements that resulted from the 1870 Act:
- The figures for the final decades of the century show the almost complete elimination of illiteracy as measured from parish registers. The gains were greater for women than men. Had it not been for the 1870 Act progress in literacy would have slowed down simply because illiteracy was concentrated in those classes and regions that were hardest to provide for under the voluntary system. The 1870 Act was responsible for the mopping-up operation by providing more school places and improvements in attendance and length of school life.
- There were certainly improvements in attendance but by 1897 it was still only just over eighty per cent. Legislation helped but machinery of enforcement was necessary. The main pressure was that of the attendance officer [commonly called the 'board man'] and ultimately a summons. This did not always prove effective and authorities were often unwilling to prosecute or convict parents especially in rural areas where cheap child labour was essential for farmers and parents. The Agricultural Children Act 1873 was intended to improve attendance, but fines were so low if imposed at all.
- The quality of literacy was governed by things other than directly educational ones. The factory legislation of the late 1860s and 1870s encompassed children in industries not covered before. From the 1870s future patterns of leisure and holidays began to take rudimentary form. New skilled and semi-skilled occupations were being created and white-collar occupations were expanding. Literacy was essential in all of these areas.
The 1870 Act itself made access to higher-than-elementary education inevitably a more prominent issue. Apart from evening and adult education, such access became available mainly in two ways: the evolution of a higher stage within the elementary system, and the scholarship ladder from the elementary school to the grammar school.
The Education Act 1902 and after
By 1900 important factors were altering attitudes towards the pattern of education as it had evolved since 1870:
- The elementary system had produced what seemed to many people to be pseudo-secondary features in its higher-grade schools and evening classes. The still insecure basis of very many grammar schools was in many cases being eroded by these developments.
- The board schools were outpacing the voluntary schools. Many were in serious financial difficulties in a period of declining church attendance. The voluntary agencies were divided on the desirability of further state aid and intervention.
- State intervention was in society generally being more actively advocated and tolerated. The 1895 Bryce Commission recommended the creation of a central authority for education and a Board of Education was created in 1899.
- Local councils also entered the education field mainly under the Technical Instruction Acts as competitors of the school boards.
Such changes threatened the uneasy 1870 settlement. School boards came under fire before the end of the century, particularly for their higher-grade schools and what the church party considered excessive expenditure of ratepayers' money. Leading Conservatives, especially Sir John Gorst, attacked the boards and attempted to reduce their powers or transfer their powers to the county and county borough councils. The boards themselves, nonconformist and labour bodies expressed hostility to such moves and defended their record.
Sir Robert Morant, who became Gorst's private secretary in 1899 and permanent secretary of the Board of Education from 1903, was able to engineer a test case in which London school board expenditure on high elementary classes was disallowed by the district auditor, Cockerton, in 1899. The Cockerton judgement allowed Morant and Gorst to achieve a dual objective: the prevention of further post-elementary developments in board schools and the possibility of using the councils as all embracing educational authorities. In drafting the new education bill Morant was able to bring elementary and secondary education under one authority and at the same time bring relief to the voluntary schools.
The debate on the education bill, steered by the Prime Minister A.J.Balfour through Parliament, saw a stalwart defence of the board schools. However, the separate administration of board schools, grammar schools, Science and Art Department grants, technical instruction committees and the independent management of voluntary elementary schools were chaotic. The creation of new council education authorities would overcome this. It was, however, the notion of 'Church schools on the rates' that provoked the most fierce and lasting resistance especially from Nonconformists[2].
The most far-reaching effect of the 1902 Act was its influence on the structure of elementary and secondary education. It did not make it mandatory for local authorities to provide secondary education but it did require them to perform the functions previously performed by the school boards and the technical instruction committees. The result of this was a massive expansion in the physical provision of secondary schooling in the years up to 1914. The government did not neglect the question of access for elementary school pupils to the new fee-charging secondary schools. The Free Place Regulations of 1907 made available enhanced government grants to all secondary schools prepared to offer a quarter of their places without fees to ex-elementary school pupils. Would-be 'free placers' were expected to sit a simple qualifying examination. Pressure of numbers soon made this as ferociously competitive as any of the existing scholarship tests. By 1912 49,120 children, 32 per cent of the total population of maintained secondary schools, were 'free placers'.
The Boer War [1899-1902] revealed the extent of 'physical deterioration' when a government committee investigated the causes of the poor physical condition of potential recruits. The need for developments in child health, orchestrated by Morant and Margaret McMillan, was legislation in 1906 and 1907 and in setting up a medical department of the Board of Education. Free school meals and medical inspections were a further attack on the existing poor law system as well as a major advance in the role of the state in education.
[1] B. Simon Education and the Labour Movement 1870-1920, Lawrence and Wishart, 1979 is perhaps the broadest account of developments after 1870. J.S. Hurt Schooling and the Working Class 1860-1918, Routledge, 1979 is excellent on the 1870 Education Act and after and Gillian Sutherland Policy-Making in Elementary Education 1870-1895, Oxford University Press, 1973 is fundamental on the changing nature of policy and priorities.
[2] This influenced the landslide return to power of the reforming Liberal government at the end of 1905.

In mid-October, Civil Law Section's Dean Céline Lévesque joined a delegation of representatives from the University of Ottawa in order to develop stronger ties and further engagements with Jiao Tong University in Shanghai. The University of Ottawa's president, Jacques Frémont, was leading this delegation, which also included Mona Nemer, Vice-President, Research, and the deans of the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering and Science.
This wasn't the Faculty of Law's first meeting with Jiao Tong's School of Law. Dean Lévesque had visited the University last year, accompanied by Colleen M. Flood and Steven J. Hoffman, both professors for the Common Law Section. This initial meeting put all the pieces in place for the recent agreement signed by both Faculties aiming student mobility, collaboration on research perspectives and graduate studies in law.
« I'm very happy that we have signed this agreement. The potential for collaboration is tremendous, and research projects and joint graduate studies possibilities are already being discussed », says Dean Lévesque. The agreement illustrates the intention and willingness of both parties to work together in order to offer various possibilities to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers and professors of both institutions.
The KoGuan Law School is one of the top higher education institutions in China. In the past few years, KoGuan Law School has been in QS World University Rankings' top 100 law schools for three years in a row. It has 7 research institutes and 12 research centers that produce quality work in various fields and disciplines of law.
The University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law is pleased to have achieved this step towards further developing its international partnerships. It announces a bright future for both institutions.

I learned a ton on my trip to Training 2002.
I'm disappointed that I didn't get to attend Ruth Clark's session.
At the same time, I got to two of M. David Merrill's sessions and am extremely impressed. I think that Knowledge Objects (KO), as Merrill describes them, are bang on. I want to also say that Merrill is very careful to distinguish between Knowledge Objects and Learning Objects.
NOTE: Ruth Clark's Resuable Learning Object for Cisco is one such example of the latter. Clark based the RLO on Merrill's work. Cisco is currently revising the model for the RLO -- I know this last piece of information because I overheard an employee of Cisco telling Dr. Merrill just that following Wednesday's talk.
If you are a regular reader of this diary you'll know that I've discussed the online teaching of snowboarding. I didn't think that it was possible. Dr. Merrill told us his students have tackled "how to be a baseball shortstop" and "how to bake cookies" as computer-based Instructional Design (ID) academic assignments. I've got until 01 March, 2002 to come up with an assignment topic for CTL 1606.
I hear a question being begged here....

London: Britain has issued a law against forced marriages that will give a 7 year imprisonment to those who forcefully marry their children. The law will not be restricted to the boundaries of Britain, but in fact Britishers living outside their country will also be subjected to this law. The British government's intention was to protect those individuals who were forcefully married.
According to the British interior minister, stated that people are made to suffer for their entire lives due to forced marriages and most of these cases are not even reported. But this law will allow the individuals to marry according to their choices and will give them legal protection against forced marriages.
Mostly, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian settled Britishers have to suffer forced marriages by their parents. Now the FMU department will look into the cases of forced marriages, out of which 2/3rd belonged to South Asia. FMU looked into 1300 cases, out of which 18% were men while the rest were woman. Pakistanis amounted to 43%, Indians to 11% and 10% belong to Bangladesh.

EUGENE, Ore. – If an American track and field athlete wants a world-class competitive opportunity in the months of July or August, they usually have to board a plane bound for Europe to do so, because there is nothing comparable at home.
The lack of domestic track and field meets during the summer has long plagued the world's No. 1 track and field team, but TrackTown USA President Vin Lananna has found a solution – the TrackTown Summer Series, which will be launched in the summer of 2016, shortly after the conclusion of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials at historic Hayward Field, July 1-10.
The TrackTown Summer Series will feature scored meets between four-to-six teams of top U.S. athletes in cities on both the East and West coasts, culminating with a championship meet in TrackTown USA. Details will be released this fall.
By creating opportunities for the best U.S. athletes to compete at home during the summer, the series will spark interest in the sport of track and field leading up to the 2021 IAAF World Championships. The IAAF's "crown jewel" was awarded to TrackTown USA last April, the first time ever on U.S. soil.
"By 2021, we want all of the stars in U.S. track and field to be household names," Lananna said. "We want every kid in America to want their autographs, and we want those kids to get excited about competing in track and field."
The idea for the TrackTown Summer Series first surfaced with three High Performance Meets at Hayward Field in 2006, '07 and '08 leading up to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials. It was followed by last year's highly successful Run TrackTown High Performance meet contested during the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships.

How To Navigate the Elderpilot Mobile Apps: A Tutorial
Welcome to Elder Pilot Mobile Apps. This tutorial will help you when using our technology.But before we get started...
NEW: We are excited to offer additional information in the form of a tour guide manual and checklist to download! (We can also mail a printed version of the above, for your convenience.)
What does the manual include?
For more information, and a comprehensive, detailed explanation of each checklist item, including a printable version of our checklists, (conveniently formatted to take on tours): Visit our web site www.elderpilot.com to access the tour guide manual pertinent to your search.
Future publications in the works...

- Home safety tips
- Long-Term care home: Packing guide, Admission information, and creating a memory package
Pardon our Excitement, but we thrive on empowering Seniors! Now on to our free mobile apps...
READY for Empowerment?
1. Let's get started
After Downloading the mobile app of choice: Elder Pilot Long-Term care or Elder Pilot Retirement, take some time and familiarize yourself with the app's functions.
2. The Resource Section, a great place to start...
The "Resource section" provides a brief overview of the relevance, and importance of the chosen tour guide category. To access the Resource section, touch the lines in the upper left corner of the screen (to the left of Checklists). The screen shot above is a great reference.
(To access a comprehensive outline of each prompt in detail, as well as "Food for Thought" commentary, visit our website. You will be to gain access to additional, valuable information, including a printable version of the content: plus in-depth resource explanations, and the tour checklists, formatted for touring.)
The app Resource section is now available by touching the word "Resources"
3. How do I navigate the Resource section?
Touch the "Select a page" prompt at the top, and each of the nine categories in the checklist will be accessible. Move the list up and down by scrolling down at the bottom of the screen where the categories are listed, and select the topic of interest. Press "Done" when the category appears highlighted in the box. Categories can also be accessed by touching the name you wish to access
Review each of the categories and learn about the prompts. This will help you focus your observations more quickly on the tour
4. Now that you have a better appreciation of the rationale behind the Checklist topics, let's get ready for a home tour
Starting a Tour: If this is your first home; press the "Get Started" prompt. (Look at the first screen shot as a reference)
If you have already created a home and saved it, you can add another by pressing "Create New" (The screen shot under #9 shows a sample of this prompt)
5. The Checklists
The 9 Checklist categories are now accessible to open, one at a time.
In the first section; "Checklist Details" basic contact information about the home can be entered.
Some users complete the whole section, others just add the name of the home, and address. Any subsequent information can be easily accessed and added later. The "return" prompt on your keypad allows you to move down the questions when typing information into the Checklist Details section
6. Recording observations
Check off observed items in the checklists only if they are present. Checks can be added or removed by touching the circle at the end of each prompt. An empty box will indicate that the observation was not made, or the item did not meet expectations.
The shared report will show the empty boxes as (x), meaning the item was not present or was unsatisfactory
During the Tour, it is possible to scroll up and down, adding information to the categories as they become available. Extra details can also be added at the end of your tour
7. Saving your work is a must...
Do not touch the <Cancel prompt at the top of the screen until you have Saved the information or all data will be lost! After using the Notes and Photos Section scroll down to SAVE
8. A Picture is worth a 1000 words and will cue you when multiple tours are conducted
A building picture really personalizes the tour and helps remind the tourist about the home's appearance. Photos taken inside the facility must not include any pictures of the Residents, due to privacy policies.
In this section, notes can be typed, and pictures added. Under the Checklist Icon, add a picture of the outside of the home. This will be your cue when comparing this residence to others
9. Mission accomplished and the data is saved, now what?
Once saved, your review will appear on the first screen, with a score based on the number of observations recorded. Note the picture of the home in the left hand corner
10. What if I want to add additional information after the home report is saved, or edit the observations?By touching the saved home's name on the first screen, you can review a summary of the checklist, your rating, and also Edit, and add any information missed. The screen shot below shows the Edit button, that will appear with the new screen and the chosen home, once you have touched the home's name.
The Edit prompt allows you to access the checklist, and add information, or remove/add check marks. Always Scroll to the bottom and SAVE prior to exiting.
11. How can I share my findings?
The "Share" button allows the data to be sent to others, for their review via the enclosed options
12. How can I review, contrast, and compare the number of observations noted for the Homes?
Compare and contrast ratings for each section by using the "Compare" button. This will allow you to cross reference the scores of each home using the nine categories.
Scroll through the categories, and total scores will be visible. The Compare option is accessed in the same manner as the Resources Section
This report can also be Shared with others
13. What if I forget my Password?
Your Password can be reset using My Account, which is accessed through the same process as the Resources section
14. What if I run out of storage space and want to review more homes, or wish to eliminate a home?
To delete a home from the checklist, slide your thumb on the name of the home (highlighted in green), to the left. The prompt "Delete" will be visible to the right of the home's name. Press delete, and the data from that location will be removed from the app.
If you have reviewed several homes, and there is no more storage, don't forget to share your reports before deleting information.
You are READY to use the App
Any questions? Email us through the website for help.
Lastly, What Does the Score Mean?The Elder Pilot program provides a 9-category checklist with some suggested observations that will help the user better understand the amenities, and the functioning of the home. There is the capability to take photos and add personal notations.
When reviewing the overall scores, consider which checklist points matter the most to you or your loved one. There may be items that are of no consequence to your final decision. So, although a home may have scored higher in a category or overall; perhaps certain amenities or observations have little interest or impact in your personal selection. Perhaps there are other items that come to mind that need to be evaluated.
Use the checklist as a way to catalogue what you saw, how you felt, and to track the general amenities of each location. These can be shared with other others involved in the search. Elder Pilot allows you to record observations for each home, at a time when relying upon memory may not be the most efficient way to recall details.
Score Calculations
The percentage scores are calculated based on checked observations, and completion of the tool. Observations can be affected by the skill of the tour guide, observational skills of the user, personal bias, time of the tour, opportunities to ask questions etc.
Elder Pilot does not warrant or claim that the highest rated score equates to the best care or best LTC/Retirement facility. Likewise lower ratings do not imply a lower quality of care or a less desirable LTC/Retirement facility.
The intent of Elder Pilot is to provide the user with a convenient, practical method to collect data that may be pertinent to their search. There may be other items of research that will enhance facility choice that may not be included in this document/app. There is no intended bias relating to the age of the facility, ownership, designation, size, or other factors that may impact client choice that are included or excluded from this document.
Your acceptance of the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy when downloading, or using the app indicates you understand and accept the above, and all other information aforementioned in the Terms of Usage/Privacy Policy.

Talented and resourceful Katniss Everdeen is the breadwinner of the family--except there hasn't been much bread to go around for her impoverished family. Set in a dystopian society far into the future, The Hunger Games follows Katniss as she is forced to venture into a deadly, gladiator-like battle, solely for the elite's entertainment.
The Hunger Games was one of those books that I just couldn't put down, but at the same time, I felt like it was very depressing, so I couldn't make it on to the next book. Although I can't deny that the plot, characters, and setting were both enthralling and imaginative, I just couldn't find the motivation to pull myself through another bittersweet book.
Honestly, I think that everyone should at least give this book a try, but 7th graders and up would understand it better than younger kids. Also, this book is not for the squeamish! If you're afraid of some gory (but not too elaborate) details, feel free to revisit this book when you're a little older.

The Wedding Party
We first heard the singing of African voices. Then they appeared, striding over the hill in close formation like a Zulu Impi. Lynne in front, supported by her two sons, with her maids of honour just behind, and followed closely by the Choir of Africa University. It was an amazing sight and brought a tear to many an eye.
The Choir of Africa University
Guests waiting for the wedding party to arrive
We had gathered together by the golf course's 17th hole, otherwise known as "World's View", because of its stunning vista. Brian and Lynne held their civil wedding on Thursday in Mutare, so today's celebration was for the affirmation of their vows before family and friends.
Lynne and Brian exchanged vows
Brian engaged a singer to come all the way from Scotland to sing especially for Lynne, as an acknowledgement of her Scottish ancestry.
...in return, the Africa University Choir sang a song of greeting to Brian
As well as the many friends, the wedding brought together four families; Brian and Lynne's immediate families; Brian's late wife, Sheelagh's family, and Lynne's late husband, Dave's family - so at times there were bitter-sweet memories - but everyone was unanimous in that we were all there to support Brian and Lynne in their new life together.
The Coughlan Clan (well, at least those who could be there!)
The ceremony was followed by a sumptuous dinner at the Leopard Rock Hotel with live music and dancing. This was truly a wonderful occasion!
It was so lovely to see the nephews and nieces
There was even an exotic dancer to entertain us
More family fun!

Screenshot: With a Good Health You Will Beat Any Recession!
The Art of Life: Restoration of Physical and Psychological Health
The Art of Life: Restoration of Physical and Psychological Health
If a person can manages the "art" of life, or be skillful at it, he or she will be happy in any place. This person will be immune to the influence of unfavourable political variations, economic downturns and even the vagaries of the weather! This is our goal at center of natural medicine The Art of Life. In this series of articles With Good Health You Will Beat Any Recession we explore how our centre can help you to restore your physical and psychological health.
Part 1: Our Natural Health Centre
A smile, a sincere look, a slender figure, the calm self-confidence of a healthy person - this is the portrait of the successful inhabitant of the Western world. Is it possible to be such a person, to feel like this in today's challenging time of severe financial crisis? Yes, this is possible!
If a company is going to reduce staff or if a permanently laid-off employee has to find a new job, who will be preferred by the company management? The calm, healthy optimist or the sad, tired pessimist? For signing a new business contract, the successful, reliable partner, with the good sense of humor, will be most likely chosen at this unstable time. Without a doubt, health and mood are solidly connected. As well, it is obvious, that despondency, fatigue and depression are both, undesirable and inappropriate for a person, searching for a success in today's world, which is really hard to navigate through.
The Art of Life, a center of natural medicine, was created more than three years ago for people, who want to achieve that proper balance of physical and psychological health, which is to be desired by any employer, business partner, circle of friends, one's own family and etc. The velocity of the life rhythm in modern society is increasing at an alarming rate. It is a fact that all of us have to be strained and constantly exerting ourselves in order to fit into and keep up with the above-mentioned rhythm in the modern world. However, it is also a fact, that continues stress sooner or later can lead to the physiological problems.
If disturbances in the body have already occurred, it does not matter whether they are at the physical or psychological level, it is necessary to select the optimal course of treatment for the quickest restoration of health. The sooner appropriate measures are taken, the sooner the patient will return to an active life, without loosing control over surrounding events in his or her life. If the very first signals of impending organism disturbances or failure are recognized, then these potential troubles can be averted with minimal efforts. But if we learn, how to avoid getting ourselves into problem situations in the first place, (i.e., by the use of preventative measures, which are widely available in today's medical market), then our health and active life, would be prolonged for many years.
Let us consider how to find the most qualitative and effective equipment, without running from clinic to clinic and trying everything yourself. Whom, do you think, the most effective and reliable equipment is used for in any country in order to return a person to an active working/functioning state as fast as possible? Olympic athletes? You are correct. Does such equipment exist in Toronto? Yes. It is in The Art of Life Natural Health Center.

The Spanish Prime Minister insisted that all the measures being taken by the Government of Spain are with a view to economic recovery and added that he anticipates being able to lower taxes in 2014. He also expressed his confidence that employment and growth forecasts contained in the General State Budget for this year will improve and insisted that "2013 will be better. We still may not have reached the lowest point but we will start to see improvement, especially in the latter half of the year, and the economy will start to grow again in 2014″.
In an interview with Cadena Cope earlier this week, Mariano Rajoy said that "reducing the public deficit is our top priority". It must be lowered to 6.3% this year "at a time of economic recession and a shortage of financing, which is why we have raised taxes and cut spending". In spite of that, he stressed that no further tax increases are on the cards. "What I want, because I believe in it, is to lower taxes and I hope to do so in 2014″. He also rejected the idea of lowering public sector wages in 2013.
The President of the Government argued that the difficult decisions taken until now have all been "aimed at enabling economic recovery". The labour reform, the financial restructuring and the reform of public administration services, which he said "we've been talking about for 30 years and will now finally be carried out", are some of those steps, the true effectiveness of which will be revealed when economic activity returns. Rajoy added that, for the time being, Spain is going through a debt reduction process and said "it is very difficult during any process of debt repayment to ensure that money is available for investment and consumption. But this process is essential because otherwise nobody will finance us".
The Spanish Government newsletter, La Moncloa, reported that when questioned over whether Spain should request aid from the European Union or not, Rajoy reiterated that this decision has yet to be taken. The Government of Spain will eventually make that decision, he explained, and it "will be solely and exclusively aimed at guaranteeing the general interest of every Spanish citizen. I have not discarded the possibility of going down that path; it is an option that remains open to us".

Cookbooks, cookbooks and more cookbooks . . .
A while back I wrote about my very first cookbook here and recently I got out my first real grown-up cookbook, "The Joy of Cooking". My grandmother sent it to me when I had my first apartment. It got me thinking … Continue reading

It is some way from Mosnac to Loches, so we made only one sightseeing stop along the way, at Aulnay where there is the 12th-century Romanesque church of St Peter. A tympanium had this carving of St Peter being crucified upside-down, with soldiers working energetically. *
The interior is full of big, heavy columns. *
The churchyard had this old cross. †
On the outskirts of Poitiers, in the middle of a roundabout, was this giant yellow hand with life-size cars on it. We have no idea why. *
We spent a week in Loches and visited many nearby places, as shown on this map. We have too many photos for one page, so the rest of this page shows things we saw in Loches, while other pages show visits to châteaux and gardens. †
Loches seen from the walls of its citadel. *
The gate under the Hôtel de Ville, leading out of the old town. *
Our first afternoon in Loches, we took the advice of our landlord, Jean-Claude, and went to the rose festival in the nearby village of Chédigny. *
There were roses, roses, lovely roses, everywhere. *
The centre of Loches is a walled citadel, with a comfortable château at one end, a formidable donjon at the other, and an interesting church in the middle. This is the château. *
Statues of dogs guard the château entrances, each one different. *
An annunciation painting inside the château. *
A little bagpipe player carving in an archway. †
The donjon seen from outside ... *
and from the courtyard inside. †
Graffiti inside the donjon. *
The gates of a rather magnificent house inside the citadel. *
The towers of Loches church. *
Grave inside the church. †
Memorial to Agnes Sorel in the church. *
The River Indres flowing through Loches. Our apartment was on the right side, almost as far as can be seen. †
The nearby gate into the town, with a nice wine bar on the left in front of it. *
A view of our apartment from across the river. Our verandah area has the orange umbrella. The next house to the left was a B&B with the same owners. *
The town of Beaulieu-les-Loches is just across the river, and has some interesting old houses. †
Let's go on the look at some of the châteaux of the Loire.

Typically, a single-family home has a great deal of privacy. There are no shared spaces, and no common walls or doors. It's a free standing structure in a neighborhood or community. Multifamily houses are buildings that contain separate residences for two or more families or roommates. They include duplexes, triplexes and apartment buildings with a number of residential units. These properties are viewed differently by investors, insurers and lenders.
Residential Occupancy
A single-family home is usually occupied by the owners of that property and their family members. Multifamily properties are generally purchased for investment purposes. The people living in those houses are often tenants who rent the property from the owner of the building. In some cases, a property owner will live in one of the units in the multifamily property. For example, if you buy a duplex, you may choose to live in one unit while you rent the other one out and collect an income.
Mortgage Considerations
Financing a duplex, triplex or multiunit property is different than obtaining a mortgage for a single-family house you plan to live in. Lenders will be interested in the income potential of the property, and they will want to make sure the collected rent will meet the mortgage obligation. In most cases, commercial financing is required, especially for larger buildings that have five or more units. You'll want to work with a commercial real estate broker or mortgage professional who has experience in multifamily funding.
Insurance Issues
Homeowners insurance will cover a single-family home that the owner occupies. Multifamily properties will require a dwelling policy that covers the structure. The cost depends on the size and value of the property, and any additional coverage that is purchased. For example, an owner of an apartment building near the water might want additional coverage against floods or mold. Many multifamily property owners require or recommend that their tenants purchase renters insurance to protect personal belongings inside the property.
Differing Markets
The housing market is different for each type of property. When the sales market is strong, people are more likely to buy and sell single-family houses. When the demand for rental property is high, investors are likely to purchase as many multifamily units as they can in order to rent them out to a large pool of tenants. If you're wondering which type of property to buy, consider whether you want long-term investment potential or a new place to live.

Yesterday I attended one of the most amazing memorial services I have ever had the privilege of witnessing. It was A Service of Death and Resurrection for The Rev. Clint Rabb who died from injuries suffered in the Haiti earthquake after being buried in the rubble for nearly 70 hours. Rev. Rabb cared deeply for the poor, the hungry, the disenfranchised and those less fortunate. One of the survivors of the group talked at the service about Rev. Rabb's care and concern for those confined with him who were also seriously hurt, despite his own critical and life-shortening injuries.
In honor of all the Rev. Rabbs of our individual communities, may we each do our parts in caring for the people of Haiti who desperately need our help at this time. Please give generously in whatever way you choose. As the saying goes, every little bit helps.
In memory of Rev. Rabb and in support of his family, Melody
