Zuckerberg: Facebook changed its name not to escape
Andrew 10/29/2021 2 min read
Facebook announced on Thursday that it changed its name to "Meta" to focus on building a "meta universe."The company's CEO Zuckerberg said in an interview broadcast after the name change was announced that it was "ridiculous" to think he changed his name because of the recent wave of opposition to Facebook.Zuckerberg said that the current negative news surrounding Facebook has no influence on this decision.
He said: "Although I think some people may want to establish this connection, I think it is a ridiculous thing." "If there is any impact, it is that I think this is not a new brand you want to introduce. environment of."
In recent weeks, Facebook whistleblower and former employee Frances Haugen (Frances Haugen) shared a large number of internal documents with the media and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which shocked Facebook. These materials are called "Facebook files" and include employees' concerns and doubts about the company's behavior.
Facebook refuted these descriptions, saying that the documents did not portray the full picture of the company.
Zuckerberg said in an interview on Thursday that he has been considering rebranding since Facebook acquired Instagram and WhatsApp in 2014. But it wasn't until earlier this year that he decided it was time to make a change.
Zuckerberg said: "I think this helps people build a relationship with a company, which is different from any relationship with any particular product. This relationship can replace all relationships."
The name change is believed to reflect Facebook's efforts to enter the "meta universe". "Meta universe" is a virtual world in which people can use virtual characters to interact digitally. Zuckerberg showed what this will look like at the Oculus Connect event on Thursday, showing examples of how the metaverse affects our society and work life.
But some critics of Facebook believe that the name change can prevent the company's other projects, such as "Horizon", from being linked to negative news.
Ashley Cooksley, Social Element's North American managing director, said: "If only the holding company changes its name, it may be more to keep the parent company away from Facebook's products, so that any toxicity of Facebook will stay in this product. Instead of'infecting' other brands under the parent company."

MANCHESTER UNITED are preparing a shock bid for Bayern Munich star Dante, according to reports.
The Red Devils are believed to be in the market for a number of players this summer, with a new centre-back the priority for Louis van Gaal.
United have been linked with with big-money moves for the likes of Borussia Dortmund's Mats Hummels and Valencia's Nicolas Otamendi, but Tuttomercatoweb claims that Van Gaal is instead ready to make a bid for Brazil international Dante.
The 31-year-old centre-back is apparently deemed surplus to requirements at the Allianz Arena, with Pep Guardiola said to be lining up a move for Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.
It is added that United have already made contact with Bayern over Dante, and hope to negotiate a bargain price in the coming weeks.

Challenges to the Legitimacy of International Arbitration: A Report from the 29th Annual ITA Workshop
Michelle Grando (White & Case LLP)
Please refer to this post as: Michelle Grando, 'Challenges to the Legitimacy of International Arbitration: A Report from the 29th Annual ITA Workshop', Kluwer Arbitration Blog, September 19 2017, http://arbitrationblog.kluwerarbitration.com/2017/09/19/challenges-legitimacy-international-arbitration-report-29th-annual-ita-workshop/
The 29th Annual Workshop of the Institute for Transnational Arbitration ("ITA"), which took place on 14-15 June 2017 in Dallas, focused on a timely subject of much importance to the future of international arbitration, namely, the "Challenges to the Legitimacy of International Arbitration." The event was co-chaired by Caline Mouawad (King & Spalding), Jeremy K. Sharpe (Shearman & Sterling), and Jarrod Wong (McGeorge School of Law).
The tone of the workshop was positive and constructive, starting from the keynote speech delivered by Gary Born (WilmerHale). Gary Born demonstrated through historical references spanning more than two hundred years that the current criticisms of international arbitration are not new. Yet, international arbitration continues to exist and has become more widespread. Born argued that ultimately the success of international arbitration lies in the fact that it is an expression of individual rights such as the right to contract and the right to form relationships with others that are widely recognized and considered fundamental to any healthy society. He noted that States have not been able to come up with a better alternative, and concluded that it is difficult to imagine the world without international arbitration.
Following the keynote address, the speakers identified several challenges to the legitimacy of international arbitration, including issues regarding the decision-makers, the conduct of counsel, the efficiency of the proceedings, and domestic court oversight, among others. These issues are addressed in turn and are followed by concluding considerations about whether the existing criticisms indicate that international arbitration is in crisis.
One of the characteristics of international arbitration is the right of the parties to choose the decision-makers. While this characteristic is often presented as one of the main advantages of international arbitration, it has also given rise to criticism. In particular, critics have raised questions about the legitimacy of an award issued by privately appointed arbitrators.
The discussion during the workshop revealed that the right to nominate arbitrators actually enhances the legitimacy of the process in many ways. In particular, party-appointed arbitrators play an important role in ensuring that the tribunal considers the evidence and arguments presented by the parties that appointed them. Apart from ensuring that the award accurately takes into consideration the views of the parties, this enhances the likelihood that the losing party will accept the award and comply with it. It was noted that this reflects the view not only of private parties, but also of many states.
The speakers agreed, however, that it is necessary to adopt and enforce strong conflict rules; procedural controls on appointments so that the parties do not abuse the right to nominate arbitrators (e.g., by nominating arbitrators that are unfit or forcing their nominee to resign in order to delay the proceedings); and rules of ethics to ensure that arbitrators act diligently and impartially. Jan Paulsson suggested that the legitimacy of party-appointed arbitrators might also be strengthened if the parties were to agree on the President of the tribunal first and then nominate the other two arbitrators with her/his input.
Conduct of counsel
While the parties' counsel play a fundamental role in international arbitration, due to their diversity of backgrounds and legal cultures they are not always guided by the same values and ethical principles. The lack of a binding uniform code and a global authority to enforce it make the regulation of counsel conduct challenging in practice, raising questions about the legitimacy of international arbitration.
The subject of regulation of counsel conduct has been widely discussed in the last few years, and there seems to be an emerging consensus about the need to regulate and sanction counsel for unethical conduct. The speakers argued that the standards should focus on objective issues such as, for instance, the filing of futile challenges to arbitrators and arbitrator conflicts caused by the appointment of new counsel during the proceedings. This is, in fact, the approach adopted by the two most well-known guidelines, the IBA Guidelines on Party Representation in International Arbitration and the LCIA's General Guidelines for the Parties' Legal Representatives.
No general consensus, however, has been reached yet as to who should be the regulator – options include national bar associations, courts at the seat of arbitration, arbitral institutions, and a global ethics counsel. The preference of the speakers was for arbitral institutions to take the role of adopting standards. This is a reasonable approach, as it would allow for greater experimentation and refinement of the standards over time. The LCIA has pioneered this route with the adoption of its Guidelines in 2014. Under the LCIA rules, however, the application of the standards is left to international tribunals (see Article 18.6). According to the representative of the LCIA, the enforcement of the standards is better left to tribunals because counsel conduct is a due process issue.
Efficiency of the proceedings
International arbitration has come under attack for being costly and slow. In the 2015 Queen Mary/White & Case International Arbitration Survey, the survey respondents indicated that the cost (68%), lack of insight into arbitrators' efficiency (39%), and lack of speed (36%) were among the worst characteristics of international arbitration. Against this backdrop, the workshop provided an opportunity to discuss options to increase the efficiency of the proceedings.
One option that was considered was the use of bifurcation and motions for summary judgment. The speakers agreed that these procedures can increase efficiency if the issue in question is discrete and its early resolution can dispose of the case or a significant part of it. However, when the issue is connected with other aspects of the case, bifurcation and motions for summary judgment might actually lead to inefficiencies such as repeat presentation of the same evidence and multiple appearances of the same witnesses. The most important aspect to ensure that bifurcation and motions increase efficiency is for the parties and the tribunal to discuss and establish clear ground rules at the outset of the proceedings. Rule 41(5) of the ICSID Arbitration Rules was cited as an example of a procedure for summary judgment that has worked well.
The panelists also explored ways to deal with the perceived problem that arbitral tribunals are taking too long to issue their awards. In this regard, in 2016, the ICC announced that it would reduce the fees paid to arbitral tribunals that fail to submit a draft award within three months of the last substantive hearing or the last substantive post-hearing submission. Depending on the length of the delay, the reductions can vary from 5% to 20% or higher. Other options discussed at the workshop included having institutions and parties ask more questions about how much time the arbitrators have available for the drafting of the award before appointing or confirming their appointment; and creating a reporting mechanism requiring arbitrators to report to the parties on their progress periodically after a certain amount of time has passed. As regards the latter, there was consensus among the speakers that shame might provide a strong incentive for arbitrators to render the award in a timely manner.
Domestic court oversight
It has been argued that the arbitral process is too autonomous from domestic law and domestic court oversight. In light of this, the speakers considered whether courts should exercise more oversight over the arbitral process. It was noted that States have defined the respective roles of national courts and arbitral tribunals through instruments such as the New York Convention, the ICSID Convention, and domestic laws. Therefore, it is for States to change the existing balance through legislation or treaties if a more active role for the courts is deemed appropriate. The panelists were skeptical about this because most domestic courts do not have the resources, time, and technical expertise necessary to exercise greater oversight. In fact, this is one of the reasons why many States have embraced arbitration in the first place and why it has become popular.
Ultimately, as one of the speakers noted, giving courts a more active role over the arbitration process would blur the line between arbitration and litigation. It would be contrary to the very idea of having arbitration as an alternative method of dispute resolution. It would also be contrary to the expectations of the users of international arbitration, who in the 2015 Queen Mary/White & Case International Arbitration Survey observed (64% of the respondents) that one of the most valuable characteristics of international arbitration is "avoiding specific legal systems/national courts."
Is international arbitration in crisis?
While it is undeniable that international arbitration has been the subject of criticism from certain corners, in particular as regards the investor-state system, the opinion of the workshop participants and available data indicate that international arbitration is not in crisis and about to disappear.
Major institutions such as the ICC and ICSID continue to report solid or record numbers of arbitrations filed. 157 States are now parties to the New York Convention and 153 States are parties to the ICSID Convention. While some States such as Ecuador, Bolivia, India, South Africa, and Indonesia have terminated various BITs with investor-state arbitration provisions, the overwhelming majority of States, including States that are notorious critics of investor-state arbitration, such as Venezuela, has not withdrawn from the investor-state arbitration system. Moreover, States increasingly provide for arbitration in contracts with private parties or in investment legislation. This includes States that have been notoriously skeptical of investor-state arbitration, such as Brazil.
If anything, criticisms have contributed to the health of the system. Arbitral institutions have revised their rules and practices to increase the efficiency and fairness of the arbitral process. These include the LCIA in 2014, the ICC in 2015 and 2017, the ICDR in 2014, and SIAC in 2016. ICSID is currently in the process of amending its Arbitration Rules for the fifth time. Professional associations such as the International Bar Association have revised and adopted guidelines addressing relevant subjects such as conflicts of interest and counsel conduct. All this activity shows the vibrancy of international arbitration. As long as the arbitral community does not become deaf to relevant criticisms, international arbitration will not become irrelevant. It will continue to be a legitimate – and the most effective – way of resolving international disputes.

The murder case of 16-year-old Phylicia Barnes has been further delayed by a second mistrial after a Baltimore judge found that an error by the prosecutor "tainted" the case brought before the jurors.
Circuit Judge John Addison Howard granted the defense's motion for a mistrial because prosecutors exposed the jurors to information they weren't allowed to see.
Michael Maurice Johnson, 30, was charged with murdering Barnes in 2012. The North Carolina high school student was visiting her half sister, Deena, at her Northwest Baltimore apartment on Dec. 28, 2010. She was found dead four months later floating in the Susquehanna River.
The prosecutors believe that Johnson raped and strangled the teenager before putting her body in a container and throwing it in the river, CBS Baltimore reports.
The cause of the mistrial might've involved wiretapped phone conversations, according to the Baltimore Sun. The recordings overheard Johnson mentioning the case, but he never confessed to murdering Barnes.
In 2013, Johnson's conviction was overturned by Judge Alfred Nance, who ruled that prosecutors withheld information about a questionable witness who testified in the first trial, but not the second. The lead detective on the case was also arrested and charged for going on a "rogue" hunt for his own missing daughter.
Barnes, who has attended both trials, traveled from Georgia each time to see his late daughter's case get delayed even further.
Judge Howard said he didn't believe the error that led to the mistrial was done on purpose because of the shocked expression he saw on the prosecutors' faces.
On Monday, some of the jurors sai they thought that the prosecutors didn't have a string enough case.
"When I left Friday, I thought it was the defense's game to lose," juror Donna Goodlett told the Sun.
Juror Danielle Daughtry said she wanted to see more evidence and that her vote would have been to acquit Johnson if the case had gone to the jury on Monday. One juror wasn't convinced there was a motive and said she didn't understand the state's case.

Are you just getting started playing online slots, and are looking for online tips and tricks so you can maximize your winnings and have more fun?
If so, these tips and tricks should help you get the best out of your online gambling, without leaving you walking away with far less money than when you started.
Pick a budget and stick to it — Decide how much you are going to spend and do not spend any more. Every time you win on the slots, make sure that money gets put aside so you always walk away with your earnings at least.
Play medium range slot machines — Do not play the penny slots as they pay out hardly anything if you win.
Instead, put your time to better use by playing the dollar or five dollar slots. These are slot machine games that will allow you to play for a while, as you are not spending huge amounts of money on each spin, yet will also give you a reasonable chance of winning.
Do not play slots with video reels — Video reel slot machine games look cool and exciting, so many people play them online.
The problem is, at most casinos the video reel slots pay out at a lower rate than the normal slots do, even at online casinos.
Avoid the video reel slots, however, and your chances of winning may just go up by 10 percent or more.
Bet on as many play lines as you can — If you are playing the slot machines, instead of just betting on a few play lines so you can play longer if you lose, bet on as many as you can afford to bet on.
This will maximize your chances of winning each spin and, when you do, the amount of money you win will be substantially higher as well.
Take breaks — The longer you spend starting at a computer screen, the more chances there are you will make mistakes when gambling.
This is why you should always take breaks every hour or so when you get onto an online casino, as not only will you make less mistakes that way but you will gamble less money as well.
Take a fifteen minute break, have a quick nap, make a sandwich, walk around your apartment, go to the bathroom. Any and all of these things will help wake up your brain, and get your gambling skills back in focus.
Keep your winnings — Always be aware of how much money you started with, and keep your winnings separate from it.
If you do, even if you gamble all the money you have in your budget, you know you will walk away with some winnings while still having had fun. You can easily start playing sbobet asia and get ready for your journey. Sometimes you may even walk away with more money than you started with.

List of athletes with the most appearances at Olympic Games

See also: Lists of Olympic medalists
Canadian Ian Millar in a 2007 picture. At BeIjing 2008 he participated in his 9th Olympics, joining Austrian sailor Hubert Raudaschl as the sportsmen with most Olympic appearances.
A small fraction of the world's population ever competes at the Olympic Games; an even smaller fraction ever competes in multiple Games. 488 athletes (119 women, 369 men) have participated in at least five editions of the Olympic Games from Athens 1896 to Vancouver 2010, but excluding the 1906 Intercalated Games. Just over a hundred of these have gone on to make at least a sixth Olympic appearance.
Several athletes would have made more appearances at the Olympics but for reasons out of their control, such as World Wars (no Olympics were held in 1916, 1940 or 1944), politically motivated boycotts, financial difficulties, or ill-timed injuries.
Two athletes have participated nine times: Austrian sailor Hubert Raudaschl and Canadian equestrian Ian Millar. The latter is still active and could yet add to his tally.
Well over half of six-time Olympians belong to the shooting, equestrian, sailing and fencing disciplines, which are known for allowing athletes more longevity at the elite level. Athletics and cross-country skiing also provide a large number of athletes who have competed at five Olympics.
Number of athletes who have appeared at multiple Olympics from 1896 to 2010 inclusive
Exact number of Olympic appearances
Minimum number of Olympic appearances
Women 91 23 5 0 0 119 28 5 0 0
Men 293 63 6 5 2 369 76 13 7 2
Total 384 86 11 5 2 488 104 18 7 2
This table shows the number of athletes who have appeared at exactly (or at least) n Olympic Games between 1896 and 2010, as n varies from 5 to 9. For example, 6 men have appeared at exactly seven Olympics while 13 men have appeared at at least seven Olympics. Appearances at the 1906 Intercalated Games are not included. Winter and Summer Olympics are counted as 'different' Olympics even if they occurred in the same year. While these numbers are believed to be correct, it is possible that one or two athletes have been missed, particularly with five-time Olympians.
Approximately a quarter of long-competing athletes are female, the imbalance presumably owing much to physiological and sociocultural reasons. As of 2010, the closest a female athlete has come to competing at eight Olympics is 0.028 seconds, which is the time by which Jamaican-Slovenian sprinter Merlene Ottey failed to meet the qualification time required for her to make a remarkable eighth appearance at the 2008 Summer Olympics at age 48.
Four six-time Olympians here have participated in Olympic Games over a period of 40 years: Bahaman sailor Durward Knowles (8 Olympics), Danish sailor Paul Elvstrøm (8), Danish fencer Ivan Osiier (7), and Norwegian sailor Magnus Konow (6). Note should also be made of Japanese equestrian Hiroshi Hoketsu, whose two Olympic appearances in 1964 and 2008 were 44 years apart.
Two five-time Olympians competed under four different flags at the Olympics, one of whom never actually changed nationality. Both shooter Jasna Šekarić (6 Olympics) and table tennis player Ilija Lupulesku (5) competed for Yugoslavia at the 1988 Olympics. In 1992, since Yugoslavia was under UN sanctions, they (and fifty other Serbians, Montenegrins and Macedonians) competed as Independent Olympic Participants before competing at the next Olympics under the flag of Serbia and Montenegro. Lupulesku became an American citizen and competed for the USA in 2004, while Šekarić finally competed for Serbia in 2008.
Twelve five-time Olympians have won at least eight medals: Italian fencer Edoardo Mangiarotti (13), German kayaker Birgit Fischer (12), American swimmer Dara Torres (12), Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjørndalen (11), Hungarian fencer Aladár Gerevich (10), Finnish gymnast Heikki Savolainen (9), Jamaican-Slovenian sprinter Merlene Ottey (9), Romanian rower Elisabeta Oleniuc (8), German equestrian Reiner Klimke (8), Italian fencer Giovanna Trillini (8), Dutch equestrian Anky van Grunsven (8), and Russian diver Dmitri Sautin (8).
About thirty athletes who have competed in at least five Olympics participated in two sports, with nearly half of them competing at both the Winter and Summer Olympics. The most common cross-over sports are biathlon/cross-country skiing (six athletes competed in both), athletics/bobsleigh (five competitors), and cycling/speed skating (five competitors).
Married couples among five-time Olympians include biathletes Ole Einar Bjørndalen (Norway) and Nathalie Santer-Bjørndalen (Italy/Belgium), Lithuanian pairs figure skaters Margarita Drobiazko and Povilas Vanagas, Finnish cross-country skiers Harri Kirvesniemi and Marja-Liisa Kirvesniemi-Hämäläinen, lugers Susi Erdmann (Germany) and Gerhard Plankensteiner (Italy).
Familial relationships among five-time Olympians include Belgian shooters François Lafortune Sr and Jr (father-son; with their brothers/uncles, they have seventeen Olympic appearances between them), Italian equestrians Piero and Raimondo d'Inzeo (brothers), British canoeists Andrew and Stephen Train (brothers), Greek shooters Alexandros and Ioannis Theofilakis (brothers), Italian cross-country skiers Sabina and Fulvio Valbusa (sister-brother), Brazilian equestrians Nelson and Rodrigo Pessoa (father-son), Austrian lugers Markus and Tobias Schiegl (cousins). A more tenuous relationship is that of Argentine sailors Jorge Salas Chávez and Roberto Sieburger; Chávez's cousin Jorge del Río Salas (4 Olympics) married Sieburger's cousin Marylin Sieburger. (The extended Sieburger-Salas clan includes seven Argentinian sailors with twenty Olympic appearances.)

Here's Alan Ford's mid-season analysis of 2015 high school season
Alan Ford
aford@shelbystar.com
It's hard to believe but we're at the mid-point of the 2015 regular season for high school football and the four county teams have a combined one loss. Here's Sports Editor Alan Ford's assessment of how the four varsity teams in Cleveland County have started.
Burns (3-1, 1-1 SMAC)
The Bulldogs got off to a good start this season though it may have helped their development in the long run if weather had wiped one game off the schedule.
Burns has a physical and mobile defensive front that is paying dividends for coach Rob Senseney and should keep the Bulldogs within striking distances in most cases. Being able to generate turnovers to give the Burns' attack the short field is crucial.
Offensively, Burns is looking for consistency. That process has been slowed by a changing cast of running backs due to injuries that have made it tougher for quarterback Cameron Barbee to deliver a balanced attack.
Perhaps the biggest struggle for the Bulldogs is setting the tempo in contests from the start so opponents can't wear down their defensive unit late in games, which we saw in the Kings Mountain loss. Depth is an issue for Burns with a number of players going both ways.
Crest (4-0, 1-0 SMAC)
The Chargers stand unbeaten as many expected and have the confidence of a defending state champion ranked No. 1 in the state in 3A by The Associated Press.
But look closer and things haven't gone quite as smooth as first-year coach Will Clark would like at times. Against South Point and Ashbrook, after building leads, the Chargers didn't finish them off and turn those games into runaways. Last week against T.C. Roberson, the offense started slow, and the penalty bug proved a major headache.
But talent abounds in the Charger camp. The defense has a lot of the key figures — Chris Willis, Justin Foster, Aaron Ramseur — from last season's powerful unit and will only continue to get better.
With Tre Harbison at tailback and Willie Green II running more from the quarterback spot, the Chargers still possess an array of formidable weapons.
The key down the stretch in the regular season will be cutting out the small mistakes that can keep this team from achieving the kind of momentum we've seen recent Crest teams build up.
Kings Mountain (5-0, 2-0 SMAC)
The Mountaineers are in the same position they were a year ago, except this time with a healthy quarterback, Darren Burns, playing well. Running back/linebacker Darien McClain has battled some foot issues.
With Jake Merchant, J'Air McCluney, Kavin Mosely and Co. providing explosive potential at the offensive skill positions for the Mountaineers, along with Burns and McClain, and the execution up front will determine if that unit continues to improve.
Defensively, Kings Mountain has been much more physical in its first five games this season and just needs to avoid allowing big scoring plays, as it did against county rival Burns last week, to continue its ascent.
The Mountaineers biggest challenge may be just looking in the mirror. Kings Mountain has the ability to make a long playoff run if it doesn't get too caught up in what transpires against neighboring powers Shelby and Crest, though their avid fan base likely would disagree.
Shelby (5-0, 2-0 SMAC)
The Golden Lions are lighting up the scoreboard in record fashion, especially through the air with quarterback Darquez Lee at the controls.
Shelby may have its most talented receiving corps ever with Jayden Borders, Antwan Wright, Calvin Camp (injured), Kavacia Shell and Darius Fuller. Continued solid play from a veteran offensive line is needed to continue such production. The Lions also need for its running game to hit high gear as well.
The Shelby defense has been a work in progress.
There are some familiar leaders in defensive back Demonte Poole and linebacker Dax Hollifield but many new faces on that side of the ball have had their ups and downs. Shelby certainly has athletes there, but it hasn't shown the level of defense against quality opposition so evident in its postseason trek to consecutive 2A titles.
Facing the Kings Mountain offense this week will be a good test of how far the Lion defenders have come or may need to go to have a chance for a three-peat.


Not sure how to thaw a turkey? The best and safest way is in the refrigerator. However, it can take several days to thaw a turkey so you need to be organised and remember to take the bird out of the freezer well in advance.
If however, all your best laid plans have gone astray and you've forgotten to take the turkey out of the freezer, don't despair. There are other alternatives which are safe provided you follow the guidelines.
Turkey can be thawed by immersing the whole bird in water. But even in water, a large bird will still take the best part of a day to thaw and then you need to allow cooking time.
A turkey can also be thawed in the microwave and will take an hour or two. But this is my least favourite method of thawing a turkey because microwaves never defrost food evenly, some parts will be warmer than others and may even start to cook.
But there is one golden rule you must not break, NEVER thaw your turkey at room temperature. This is totally unsafe.
Turkey can be safely thawed a number of different ways.
This is the safest method and the one I recommend even though it takes the longest. Thawing in the refrigerator still allows your bird to thaw, while keeping the meat chilled, which stops bacteria from growing.
Keep the bird in its original sealed wrapping.
Put the turkey in a shallow dish or tray.
Place on the bottom shelf of your fridge so that none of the juices drip onto other food causing contamination.
Allow 24 hours per 5 pounds. This process will take several days.
Once thawed your bird can remain in the fridge for one to two days.
This method is much faster than the refrigerator method.
Leave the turkey in the wrapper.
Check to make sure there are no holes or tears in the wrapper. If so, place the turkey inside another sealed plastic bag.
Submerge the turkey in a sink filled with cold water making sure the turkey is completely covered with water.
Once thawed your turkey should be cooked immediately.
It is possible to safely thaw a turkey in the microwave. But you must follow the directions given for your microwave. As every microwave is different, there are no hard and fast microwaving times.
However, because a microwave doesn't defrost evenly and some parts of the meat will be warmer than others, it is imperative that it is cooked immediately. Don't return it to the fridge.
Your turkey is fully thawed when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part returns a reading of 40°F (4°C).


We have welcomed the eggs at preschool! Thank you very much to the Faulds family for kindly letting us hatch them! We endeavour to look after them very well during their stay at Preschool.
The children have been asking lots of questions already and are looking forward to meeting the baby chicks! We have put a count down on the wall and I will be blogging their progress to keep you updated.
Our themed corner this term is 'The Vets' We are looking forward to the children having lots of learning opportunities . A special thank you to the Wilson family for kindly donating items for us to use. Also to Henry Abbott Hardware Store for kindly donating some pet food and leaflets which we have added to our display. I will be adding photos throughout the term of the children engaging in their play – watch this space!
Children learn best when given time to be able to explore and investigate. This week one of the activities we provided came from a discovery from the children, they had found some ice outside in the preschool garden and were talking about it to each other "I think it looks like glass" "Does it break?" So we decided to freeze food colouring for the children to explore the properties of ice further while experimenting with colours.
Children need lots of first-hand experiences to develop skills and concepts through play. They met the activity with lots of enthusiasm and it provided plenty of discussions. We put a little salt on the ice to speed up the melting process and it produced some interesting patterns which the children observed.
We will display the pictures up on the wall for your child to show you and talk about them.
We have enjoyed our woodland mornings this half term, engaging in lots of outdoor activities.
This week the children put on the preschool waterproof suits and ventured over to the woods. We found that 'Mr Rubbish' had been up to mischief and had made a mess! The children worked together to help collect all of the items that Mr Rubbish had left lying around and put them in the recycling bin – sorting and thinking about keeping their environment clean and tidy.
With Safer Internet Day being celebrated this week on the 5th of February, we thought it would be a good opportunity to talk to the children about online safety.
This was talked about in a simple, fun and understandable way, appropriate to their age group. We read a story called Smartie the Penguin where the children joined in with Mummy Penguin's song and followed the adventures of Smartie the Penguin as he learned how to be safe on the internet.
We have started the week off with an energetic P.E lesson! The children have been moving in a variety of ways including, marching, wobbling, skipping and hopping. We are grateful to be able to utilise the space that the school can provide giving opportunity for the children to develop their physical skills, which is key to their health and well-being.
Tuesday we will be talking about the Chinese New Year, this is a good way to help children understand one another's cultures and beliefs in a diverse and vibrant world. We can bring festivals to life with a range of activities for the children to engage in. We will serving noodles at snack time, making paper lanterns and paper plate pigs to celebrate the Year of the Pig.
The children have also been busy creating a new display for the Preschool. They have been decorating large alphabet letters with writing, pictures and photos. As all children will be having an input in this we are adding to it all the time!
We endeavour to venture outside every day so please remember to bring warm clothes suitable for the outdoors and a spare change of clothing incase the children get wet or muddy.

Hieroglyphic Being - Acid Taken Over. Vinyl LP. Bleep.
The latest Hieroglyphic Being release makes good on its title - the Acid certainly has Taken Over Jamal Moss here. These six cuts are frenzied, disorientating journeys into a world of squelching 303s and clanging drum machines. Cloaked in a fog of reverb, the EP increases in tempo and intensity as it progresses. While we start out with the malfunctioning psych-house jam 'Acid Attacks', by fifth track 'The Marriage of Heaven And Hell' we're pretty much in gabba territory. Having wrung us dry with these five vignettes, Moss then unleashes the powerful climactic techno jam 'The Perennial Philosophy'. Acid Taken Over indeed.
