The Apartment to Book When Work Brings You to London for a While

Far & Away, fromNational Geographicand The Wall Street Journal.
London's Connaught hotel has long been the ultimate accommodation among a certain set who values discretion, and now the age-old property has taken that one step further, with the unveiling of The Mews. The townhouse offers travelers the service and amenities of a world-class hotel, in what looks and feels like a luxurious private home in the center of Mayfair. Created with longer and extended stays in mind, The Mews is a 2,400 square-foot, three-level townhouse with two bedrooms, walk-in closets stocked with Burberry trench coats to wear during one's stay, an open-plan living space, outdoor terrace, a grand piano and an art collection including works by Richard Gorman and Louise Bourgeois.
Guests of The Mews are picked up from the airport by a chauffeur and have the requisite butler at their disposal around the clock. Breakfast is delivered in the morning, as are mini-martinis each night at 6 p.m., prior to dinner, that can be had at "home" or at the hotel, which is accessed through a connecting door.
All of this is tucked behind a traditional mews-style entrance on Adam's Row that an unknowing passerby may not give a second glance, which would explain the appeal for the first guest here--a celebrated actor in town to film a movie. $13,070 per night, the-connaught.co.uk.

Grain Soybean cultivation probably originated in northeastern China, a region where wild soybeans exist. This crop produces more protein and oil per unit of land than most other known crops.
Lima Beans were first grown in coastal Peru then Central America at altitudes of up to 2000 m (6500 ft). When boxes of Lima Beans were shipped to the U.S. and Europe from the large port of Lima, they were labeled "Limas – Peru" and the name Lima became common for this legume.


The once formal dining room was transformed into a wine parlor. From paint to furniture and everything in between, this room was meant to inspire our client and their guests with conversation and relaxation.
The overall aesthetic of this design was created to be both transitional and comfortable, while maintaining a functional and kid proof living room design. The draperies were custom made by VO Designs as well as the pillows and the artwork.
In this master bedroom, we created a sleep oasis with a fresh coat of paint, custom roman shades, re-upholstered wing chairs, and an updated bedding including a custom bed skirt.
This once-guest-room was turned into a playroom for this client's grand children to have a place to call their own. Chock full of fun, we added bold stripes, chalkboards and lots of fun textures to create the perfect backdrop to make memories.
This project was one where the client wanted to infuse her home office with some of her personality and style. We started with the basics: area rug, new lighting, and new office chair, and took it a step further with a custom console storage piece and some added accessories and art. We topped it off with some floating shelves and added her personal touches to complete her home office. "Innovative, artsy, vibrant! All words to define Valerie's vision and support in creating my space" is what this homeowner said about her design experience.


There are a number of communities along the banks of the Elbow that provide quiet surroundings close-in to the downtown core. This area is very desirable for corporate executives who can afford the high price in return for a short commute.
Roxboro has a mix of high-end condos and affordable apartments on the north bank of the Elbow River, and expensive single family homes on the south bank. Overlooking the river valley and the downtown is the Rideau Place condominium community, with both condos and apartments and two private pools. Moving south, Parkhill's 1A Street is known by many as "Architecture Alley" for its stunning in-fill houses with great views. The prestigious Stanley Park neighbourhood sits on a north-facing hill, overlooking the park for which the community is named.
Two public schools are in the community and the high schools are reasonably clase. Parkhill and Stanley Park are close to the 39 Avenue LRT station.
The area has a Safeway on 4th Street at Elbow, and is close to shops and boutiques along either 4th Street. For close-by malls, head either downtown to TD Square and Banker's Hall, or south to Chinook Centre on Macleod Trail.
The area lies right on the Elbow River recreational pathways, and is close to both the Glencoe Club (private) and the Lindsay Parks Sports Centre (public). Stanley Park has both an outdoor pool and a beach (though somewhat gravely). The area is also close to the Calgary Stampede Grounds (but far enough away to be quiet). 4th Street has plenty of restaurants and bars, being Calgary's Restaurant Row. For movies, head into downtown for a choice of 6 theatres. Of course, the popular Arts Centre is just inside the downtown on 8th Avenue at Macleod Trail.
The community is mostly single family homes, with some semi-detached homesm all more modestly priced than the larger homes west of Elbow, and closer to the reservoir. There are clusters of low-rise multi-unit condominiums at 58 Ave, 75 Ave, 89 Ave and at Southampton.


Does religious affiliation influence trust?
Kortt, MA & Drew, J 2018, 'Does religious affiliation influence trust?', International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy.
Purpose:The purpose of this paper is to estimate and explore how religious affiliation may influence general and local trust in contemporary society. Design/methodology/approach: This paper employs data from the 2010 and 2014 waves of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey. The association between religious affiliation and trust was estimated using an ordered logistic regression and conventional ordinary least squares model. Findings: The paper presents evidence of a statistically significant association between religious affiliation and trust that are consistent with theory. Social implications: This finding is important for a heterogeneous population like Australia as it seeks to build social cohesion in the face of threats to internal and external security. Originality/value: The study contributes to the literature by providing – to the best of the authors' knowledge – the first results on the association between religious affiliation and trust for Australia.

What Does Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Mean?
Safeopedia Explains Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a type of circuit breaker that is designed to quickly shut-off electric power in the event of a ground-fault.
A "ground fault" describes a situation in which there is a break (fault) in the grounding path used to control the flow of electricity to an electrical system or tool. When such a fault occurs, the electrical current may take an alternative path to the ground, which can be potentially fatal if that path causes current to flow through the user. A GFCI's quick circuit-breaking functions are thus an important way to minimize the risk of harm in the event that a ground-fault occurs.
Ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are a common form of electrical shock protection. Ground-faults are the most common form of electrical shock hazard and can impact any electrical device that has a low-resistance grounding path—occupational and residential alike—which translates to all devices that rely on being plugged into a standard electrical outlet to function.
A GFCI works by comparing the amount of current flowing into a piece of equipment against the amount of current returning from that same piece of equipment. When the amount differs outside of a set range—typically around 5 milliamperes—the GFCI will be tripped, breaking the current. GFCIs are generally incorporated into electrical outlets, or they can be plugged into outlets themselves, as is the case for GFCIs that are built-in to some extension cords.
As ground-faults are the most common source of electrical faults, protection against ground-faults is something that all major OHS authorities and agencies address in their respective electrical protection standards. For example, OSHA standard 1926.404 requires most electrical outlets used on construction sites to be protected by the use of a GFCI. In addition to protecting against shocks, GFCIs can also prevent some electrical fires.
A GFCI does not necessarily provide all of the electrical protection that is required within a given setting. It is meant to protect people, and will not necessarily prevent damage to electrical equipment (e.g. computers), and does not protect against arc faults. Although GFCIs activate quickly in the event of a fault, they are not consistently able to prevent shocks to humans; however, in the event that a human is shocked, they should trip quickly enough to prevent significant harm from occurring.
Since their introduction to the National Electrical Code in 1971, the number of annual electrocutions in the United States has dropped by 83%.

Album (disambiguation)
Music (Erick Sermon and Marvin Gaye song)
Music is the eighth studio album by American singer Madonna, released on September 18, 2000 by Maverick Records. Following the success of her previous album Ray of Light (1998), she intended to embark on a tour. However, her record company encouraged her to return to the studio and record new music before going on the road. Her collaboration with producers Mirwais Ahmadzaï and William Orbit resulted a more experimental direction for the album. Music has an overall dance-pop and electronica vibe, with influnces from rock, country and folk. The album was mostly recorded at Sarm West and East Studios in London, England. Elaborating country theme for the album, Madonna reinvented her image as a cowgirl.
Music received positive reviews from most critics and earned Madonna five Grammy Award nominations, ultimately winning one for Best Recording Package. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it number 452 on the magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The record was also a commercial success, debuting at number one in over 23 countries across the world and selling four million copies in its first ten days of release. In the United States, Music debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 420,000 units, making it her first album to top the chart in more than a decade since Like a Prayer (1989). It was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for three million units shipped in the United States and has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, becoming in one of the best-selling albums during the 2000s century.

If You're Reading This It's Too Late is the fourth mixtape by Canadian recording artist Drake. It was released through the iTunes Store without prior announcement on February 13, 2015, by Cash Money Records. The physical edition of the project was released by Cash Money as well as OVO Sound and Republic Records. There was a debate whether this project is a mixtape or a studio album, as it was released commercially through his record label, while Drake himself referred to the project as a mixtape.
The project received positive reviews and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, with three-day sales of 495,000 copies and 40,000 for online streaming credits, making this Drake's fourth time at the top of the chart. The album also broke Spotify's first-week streaming record with over 17.3 million streams in the first three days. The record was previously held by Drake himself, with his album Nothing Was the Same (2013), with 15.146 million streams in the first week.

?! is the third studio album by Italian rapper Caparezza, and his first release not to use the former stage name MikiMix.
Reviewing the album for Allmusic, Jason Birchmeier wrote, "The Italian rapper drops his rhymes with just as much fluency and dexterity as his American peers throughout the album. [...] Caparezza's mastery of the Italian dialect [makes] this album so stunning."

"Album" is the seventh episode of the first season of the 1974 American television series Land of the Lost. Written by Dick Morgan and directed by Bob Lally, it first aired in the United States on October 19, 1974 on NBC. The episode guest stars Erica Hagen.
Will awakens in the early morning to a high-pitched whirring sound which fills the jungle, but eventually it goes away. Rick has Holly build a trap to catch whatever has been breaking into their stores, and Will goes to weed the garden. While outside, he again hears the sound and follows it to the Lost City. Within, he enters a chamber with a very crude-looking attempt to simulate a matrix table but filled with colored stones instead of crystals. On the ground is a pulsating blue crystal that attracts his attention. Picking it up, he sees his mother (Erica Hagen) materialize in a cloud of mist. Afterwards, he returns to High Bluff but doesn't speak of his encounter.
The next day Holly's trap has not worked, and Will again hears the sound. Holly hears it briefly as well, but dismisses it. Will returns to the Lost City and again witnesses his mother while holding a blue stone. His mother calls for him, but he is interrupted by Holly, who sees nothing until she touches the blue crystal as well. Holding it together, they are both beckoned by their mother to "come home," but then she quickly adds, "Too late. Come tomorrow. Don't tell." Will explains to Holly that he wants to tell Rick about his discovery but for some reason he is unable to. Holly replies that she will tell their father if he does not and Will sincerely hopes that she can. Will theorizes that they were looking through a time doorway that is open to a period when she was still alive. When Holly asks why her image is not very clear, her brother suggests that it might be because they do not remember her very well.

"Music" is a 2001 hit single by Erick Sermon featuring archived vocals from Marvin Gaye.
The song was thought of by Sermon after buying a copy of Gaye's Midnight Love and the Sexual Healing Sessions album, which overlook some of the original album's earlier mixes. After listening to an outtake of Gaye's 1982 album track, "Turn On Some Music" (titled "I've Got My Music" in its initial version), Sermon decided to mix the vocals (done in a cappella) and add it into his own song. The result was similar to Natalie Cole's interpolation of her father, jazz great Nat "King" Cole's hit, "Unforgettable" revisioned as a duet. The hip hop and soul duet featuring the two veteran performers was released as the leading song of the soundtrack to the Martin Lawrence & Danny DeVito comedy, "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" The song became a runaway success rising to #2 on Billboard's R&B chart and was #1 on the rap charts. It also registered at #21 pop giving Sermon his highest-charted single on the pop charts as a solo artist and giving Gaye his first posthumous hit in 10 years following 1991's R&B-charted single, "My Last Chance" also bringing Gaye his 41st top 40 pop hit. There is also a version that's played on Adult R&B stations that removes Erick Sermon's rap verses. The song was featured in the 2011 Matthew McConaughey film The Lincoln Lawyer.

Los Angeles Hotels Hotels Best Deals
$155 and upFor a 92-year-old hotel, the Hotel Figueroa is really "on fad," as marketers like to say. It was developed by the Y.W.C.A. as a specifically women hostelry a spot where single ladies, including aiming actresses, might stay without concern of the Harvey Weinsteins of the globe. The Figueroa apparently even gave the United States its initial female resort manager: Maude Bouldin, a motorcyle-riding trip de pressure.
After that the long decrease of downtown Los Angeles took a toll. By 2014, when brand-new proprietors began a $60 million high-end revamp, the resort had a Morocco-by-way-of-Sweden theme (do not ask) and was satisfying discount German tour groups. The remodelling, which was finished earlier this year, leans into the Figueroa's feminist history, with artwork from local woman artists on the wall surfaces as well as common rooms made to host women-centric "hair salons."The Fig, as locals know it, rests nearby from L.A.
. The Grammy Museum is additionally located there. Downtown stretches in the contrary instructions, offering the gentrified food lover temple Grand Central Market and also the brought back Cinema at Ace Resort, which hosts indie bands and also displays art movies. The spacious Flower Market to the south is eye-popping as well as only costs $1 admission on Saturdays.
Priced at $359.20 for a Saturday night in very early November, not including tax, our "traditional queen" area on a top floor felt like a closet, and the view was mainly of a wall surface. A kindly equipped minibar took up many of the actual storage room, leaving no area for a luggage.
(My companion, Joe, sarcastically noted that the room did come with 2 prophylactics, however.) The thermostat seemed to have a mind of its very own, that made me homicidal. On the bonus side, there was a basket of complimentary treats Oreos, Red Vines as well as the bed was comfortable. The room was likewise really quiet.
The bare walls appeared like unfinished concrete and one of the 2 lights beside the mirror was missing; a bare light bulb simply hung there. Turning on the shower called for the navigating of two counterintuitive bars, and also it was so dark in that edge of the shower room that it was difficult to inform which container was hair shampoo and also which one was body clean.
Bouldin!Before dinner, we picked up beverages (a martini for Joe and a cucumber mint lemonade for me) at Rick's, a captivating indoor-outdoor lounge. As "Juicy" by the Well-known B.I.G. played on the sound system, we by a crackling fire place and also marveled at the huge, 50-year-old cactuses lining the resort's coffin-shaped pool (Los Angeles Hotels Hotels Best Deals).
Our server, Christopher, patiently addressed my 700 concerns regarding the small plates and also "pintxos" on the food selection. We breathed in the fried kale lollipop with dill crme frache ($10) and also plaything box squash with avocado as well as olives ($14) before going on to entrees, consisting of deep-fried hen with a barbequed peach and jalapeo salad ($29) spicy and also delicious, even if the fruit was inedibly immature – Los Angeles Hotels Hotels Best Deals.
We bought area solution utilizing an iPad set down on the nightstand and also were offered a 35-minute delay time. It took a hr and also 14 minutes for our easy order of coffee, yogurt and a ham, egg and cheese sandwich to get here. The web server shrugged when I complained as well as aimed out that the suggestion was already consisted of.
Dogs rate to stick with their owners for a $50 charge. The resort has a trendy, 24-hour gym furnished with treadmills, an elliptical equipment, kettlebells and weights, to name a few items. Private yoga exercise classes and also physical fitness instructors are offered upon request (Los Angeles Hotels Hotels Best Deals). High-speed Wi-Fi is free.

Alyssa Powell/Business Expert When you're a Los Angeles-based home entertainment and lifestyle journalist like me, you commonly find yourself at the Four Seasons Resort Los Angeles at Beverly Hills – Los Angeles Hotels Hotels Best Deals. That's due to the fact that the resort is popular as one of the very best seen-and-be seen areas for a functioning go to not to state a power lunch or supper around.
However it's not all rigid company as well as procedure. As a Four Seasons, the hotel rates to families and also vacationers of all types looking for the consistency of a prominent worldwide high-end chain. Of training course with the passing celebrity and bold-faced name, it's also excellent for people enjoying. I count myself fortunate to call it something of a 2nd house in community.
I'll never ever fail to remember the moment I checked out with my other half for a staycation when I was 9 months expecting, or a lot more just recently, over the joyful holiday when the common rooms were adorned with flower as well as decoration setups from celeb flower designer Jeff Leatham. Thus, it's no surprise it made our checklist of the best resorts in Los Angeles for 2020. Prices for entry-level areas below start in the $400s, according to on-line search engine result at the time of publication.
On my current Christmas keep, I remained in a mid-tier Deluxe Porch King space, which was comped for review objectives, however generally publications for $595. I've constantly seen standard areas, which are really bigger, and with a lower price factor. Unless you're taking a trip with family or planning to captivate in-room, in my experience, a standard-sized room is the very best value for first-class lodgings that are sizable, elegant, and prime for people-watching.
$155 and upFor a 92-year-old hotel, the Resort Figueroa is extremely "on fad," as marketing professionals like to claim. It was constructed by the Y.W.C.A. as an exclusively female hostelry a place where single women, including aspiring starlets, could remain without worry of the Harvey Weinsteins of the globe. The Figueroa apparently also offered the United States its first women hotel supervisor: Maude Bouldin, a motorcyle-riding trip de force.
After that the long decrease of midtown Los Angeles took a toll. By 2014, when new proprietors started a $60 million deluxe revamp, the resort had a Morocco-by-way-of-Sweden theme (do not ask) as well as was satisfying discount German scenic tour teams. The restoration, which was finished earlier this year, leans into the Figueroa's feminist history, with art work from local woman musicians on the walls as well as typical rooms created to host women-centric "beauty parlors."The Fig, as residents recognize it, sits throughout the street from L.A.
. The Grammy Museum is likewise located there. Downtown stretches in the opposite direction, supplying the gentrified food lover holy place Grand Central Market and the restored Movie theater at Ace Hotel, which hosts indie bands and also screens art movies. The cavernous Blossom Market to the south is eye-popping and also only charges $1 admission on Saturdays.
Priced at $359.20 for a Saturday evening in early November, not including tax obligation, our "timeless queen" space on a top floor felt like a closet, and also the sight was primarily of a wall. A generously equipped minibar occupied the majority of the real storage room, leaving no area for a bag.
(My partner, Joe, sardonically kept in mind that the area did feature 2 prophylactics, nonetheless.) The thermostat appeared to have a mind of its very own, that made me homicidal. On the bonus side, there was a basket of free treats Oreos, Red Vines as well as the bed was comfy. The room was additionally very peaceful.
The bare walls looked like unfinished concrete as well as one of the 2 lighting fixtures alongside the mirror was missing out on; a bare bulb just dangled there. Turning on the shower called for the navigating of 2 counterintuitive levers, and it was so dark in that edge of the bathroom that it was difficult to tell which bottle was shampoo and which one was body wash.
Bouldin!Before dinner, we stopped for beverages (a martini for Joe and also a cucumber mint lemonade for me) at Rick's, a charming indoor-outdoor lounge. As "Juicy" by the Infamous B.I.G. used the stereo, we camped out by a crackling fireplace and also wondered at the monumental, 50-year-old cactuses lining the resort's coffin-shaped swimming pool (Los Angeles Hotels Hotels Best Deals).
Our web server, Christopher, patiently addressed my 700 inquiries about the small plates and "pintxos" on the menu. We inhaled the fried kale lollipop with dill crme frache ($10) as well as plaything box squash with avocado as well as olives ($14) prior to going on to meals, including deep-fried poultry with a grilled peach and jalapeo salad ($29) spicy and scrumptious, also if the fruit was inedibly immature – Los Angeles Hotels Hotels Best Deals.
We bought room service utilizing an iPad perched on the night table and were provided a 35-minute wait time. It took an hour as well as 14 mins for our straightforward order of coffee, yogurt as well as a ham, egg and cheese sandwich to arrive. The server shrugged when I grumbled and also directed out that the idea was currently included.
Pets are welcome to stick with their proprietors for a $50 cost. The resort has a trendy, 24-hour health club outfitted with treadmills, an elliptical maker, kettlebells as well as dumbbells, to name a few things. Exclusive yoga courses as well as fitness trainers are available upon demand (Los Angeles Hotels Hotels Best Deals). High-speed Wi-Fi is complimentary. Upscale store hotels are everything about attention to information, which appears to be a work in progress at the Figueroa.

You may find yourself asking this question frantically after being up and down a million times trying to get your baby to settle down and sleep without you holding them. Through the bleary eyes of sleep deprivation, you're searching for tips and tricks to help your baby fall asleep on their own only to find conflicting information that leads to more confusion, frustration, and tears.
Eventually, out of a need for survival, you end up bringing the baby to your bed. It doesn't exactly fix your lack of sleep though. (Have you ever slept next to a squirmy baby? It's like trying to snuggle an octopus.) Slowly, you lose more and more sleep and the lack of recovery for your brain leads to increased stress. It starts to affect your relationship with your baby and partner, your patience, your work, your memory, and your self confidence as a parent. You inevitably venture into social media groups where you get a whole lot of: this is normal, oh it's just a phase/sleep regression/developmental milestone/growth spurt/teething, just sleep when the baby sleeps, and (my personal favorite) hang in there. Wait, how does this help you solve anything? It doesn't, because you. need. sleep.
Sleep deprivation increases your risk of postpartum depression. Our brains cannot fully function if we don't get enough restful sleep each night. If your brain isn't functioning, you're not your best self and neither is your baby. Babies require more sleep than adults (7-8 hours vs 11-12 hours at night) because their brains are going through such rapid development during the early years of their lives. Our goal is to help all family members get the restful sleep they so desperately need in order to THRIVE instead of being stuck in a constant survival mode.
Whether you're desperate for help (like, yesterday), cautiously curious and optimistic, or flat out skeptical if sleep coaching is the right fit for you family, we'd love to hear from you. Our Pediatric Sleep Consultants are eager to end depletion amongst parents and the first step is getting enough sleep to recharge your batteries.Once your whole family is sleeping better, you'll have more energy and patience to be the kind of parent you've envisioned being. You'll enjoy your children more during the daytime and bedtimes won't be a battle anymore. Now, doesn't that sound like the kind of help you were envisioning getting when you reached out for sleep advice?
We have found the most effective way to help babies sleep independently that results in the least amount of tears compared to other programs or strategies because our program is customized to fit your baby's unique needs. Books can't interpret your baby and books can't support you like we can. Through our 3 step process you will be guided through interpreting your baby's cues, communicating with them effectively, and helping them learn new sleep associations that will lead them towards a lifetime of healthy sleep habits.
After your detailed sleep assessment, we'll make a recommendation based on the information you've given us about your baby, your current situation, and your ideal scenario. One of us will spend up to 72 hours in your home with you as we observe your baby in real time, talk you through what we're doing, and make suggestions with the information we're gathering. By the time we leave, your little one will be sleep trained. They will be independent sleepers and you will have your bed back. We are also going to support you through the first month after our visit to help you stay on track with following the new routine and answer any questions you may have along the way.
Well, we haven't found one. We are fully invested in clients who are fully invested in us. We're not interested in overbooking ourselves and slacking on the follow through. You aren't just buying a few hours of eduction and some calls/emails, you are investing in continuous, expert support through the most difficult hurdle all parents face, a personalized sleep plan to fit your child, in the comfort of your own home, and a lifetime of results. Results that will have a positive ripple effect for your entire family. When babies are independent sleepers: families get their evenings back, big kids get to spend quality time with their parents, couples get some one-on-one time again, parents get "me time", and babies wake up happier. The amount of relief and joy this new-found freedom will bring is simply priceless. Who wouldn't want that? It's really a no brainer!
Yes, we travel to any state or country!
Families who know an expert sleep consultant will be the easiest way for their family to get the rest they deserve.
Families who can commit to no travel for 2 weeks following their coaching session.
While we highly recommend our live-in sleep support as the most effective way to accomplish the goal of better sleep, we do understand that it's not always the right fit for everyone. If you desire help to determine the best approach for your baby's sleep plan, advice in implementing it, and virtual support when sticking to your boundaries through sleep training, then our remote sleep consulting services may be right for you. Be advised that results cannot be guaranteed in the same manner our in-person services can be. The success of this program is dependent on parents' ability to follow through on recommendations and maintain ongoing healthy sleep habits for their child.
Sleep Consulting programs are only held a few times each year and each are limited to 5 qualified families. Candidates for this program are committed to attending all sessions, following suggested guidelines, remaining consistent with their child's routine, and getting. more. sleep. (Finally!) Cost of program ranges from $750 - $1450, depending on child's needs as determined through questionnaire and sleep assessment call. Payment is due in full prior to receiving custom sleep plan.
Sound do-able? Great! Fill out our sleep application below and we'll chat more soon.
you and your baby will be so much happier when you're all getting plenty of sleep. Ready to make those dreams a reality?

"We had been planning a significant make-over of our 24-year old home and had some high-level ideas of what we wanted to do that required significant structural changes to the house. We decided to enlist the services of a professional architect because we wanted to remove a 17' wall between our kitchen and great room, and open up a load bearing wall between our kitchen and garage. Our plans included enclosing our two-car attached garage space and relocating our long, narrow kitchen from the interior of the house into the garage space which offered two 22' exterior walls to work with, as well as moving our mud/laundry room and a half-bath into that space. We asked around and John Lehman of Lehman Associates, PC was highly recommended.
We set up an initial consultation with John at our home and shared our ideas and questions with him. He immediately offered possible solutions to several things that had us stumped. Following this consultation, John gave us three conceptual drawings of different ways to utilize the new space which he left with us to consider for a few weeks. Through a series of very productive (and enjoyable) give-and-take meetings and draft drawings of the emerging design, John came up with the perfect design for what we wanted to accomplish. In addition to his critically important structural design and engineering knowledge and experience, John brought to bear some wonderful design ideas and helped us envision things that never occurred to us. He helped us think out of the box. Through this design process, John helped us visualize and then realize what had only been our dreams for the space.
Our experience with Lehman Associates, PC was productive and satisfying from a professional relationship perspective, but also very enjoyable from a creative stand point. John's wonderfully positive demeanor and willingness to work with his clients' ideas, but still weigh-in with his professional opinion when necessary, was the perfect collaborative relationship for us. Even now as we've moved into the construction phase of the project, John remains involved, consulting with our builder on the important structural elements of the design. We highly recommend Lehman Associates PC to anyone who wishes to design or redesign their home."
"John was a pleasure to work with and did a great job translating our vision into a solid remodeling plan. He was very receptive to feedback and did multiple iterations to get things just right."
"Ever since we purchased our home, we wanted to expand our kitchen and add a large sunroom off the back so we can enjoy our morning tea. My husband also wanted more garage space and I wanted a large sitting room upstairs next to the master bedroom and an expanded master bathroom. We were at a loss on which direction to go or what steps we needed to take to get this exciting project started. We interviewed several architects and were very pleased when we met John Lehman from Lehman Associates. He was extremely professional and put our minds at ease on who we could trust to design and lead us through this expansion.
Early in the process, he quoted an estimate and listed what he would deliver to us and a detailed timeline. John started with measurements of our existing home and took photos of the exterior. He then provided drawings of his design as well as excellent renderings of what our new home will look like. He was accurate in every detail. Working with us, John provided several layout options for our master bath and incorporated all the items on our wish list including an upstairs laundry. He made several last-minute changes without any complaints or push-back. We are very happy with final design layout. We could not be more pleased with the service that John and Lehman Associates has provided us. I would highly recommend Lehman Associates."
"My wife wanted a larger kitchen for our colonial home and I always wanted a large screened-in porch coming off of the kitchen that blended in with our existing landscaping (which included a patio). After spinning our wheels for quite some time trying to figure out what we wanted and how to achieve it, we decided that we needed an architect. We interviewed and received proposals from three firms and ultimately decided to hire Lehman Associates, led by John Lehman. This turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made. From the start, I knew we were in good hands. He was amazingly patient with us in helping us figure out what we wanted and the best way to achieve it. At the time we met to discuss his initial drawings, it was clear that he had already put an incredible amount of thought into considering all possible alternatives. Every time we asked whether he had considered some possibility, it was clear from his response that he already had. Even though the plan he developed absolutely nailed it, he willingly and patiently helped us work through minor tweaks that he incorporated (the patience factor was huge to us, as we tended to be a bit indecisive). Once the plan was completed and we had moved onto the construction phase, it was important to us to have an architect who would continue to be there for us to respond to questions as they arose (from either us or the contractor) and to be available to oversee the construction process. John really came through for us there as well. His responses were consistently thoughtful and timely. On a couple of occasions, when we were contemplating certain time-sensitive construction decision points, he made a point to swing by the house within hours that same day. He also dropped by to check on the project status on his own (without any contractual obligation to do so) simply because he cared about the end outcome. We were delighted with Lehman Associates' performance throughout all phases of the project and now that it is complete, we could not be happier with the result. We've received high praise from all who have seen the end product. We have already recommended Lehman Associates to many of our friends and we would not hesitate to use the firm for any future projects."
John has done a terrific job translating our renovation vision into a workable architectural design. He's been very supportive of the iterative process and he's been a great partner in this project. We've enjoyed working with him very much so far and we're looking forward to the end result.
"John Lehman is a fantastic architect. He was referred by a builder I am friends with, and I am glad I had the opportunity to meet him. I had an idea to add a porch and convert a carport to a garage at my 1950's home that looks like a rambler in front, but is actually a front-to-back split level setup. I sent John photos of some homes I found where I liked the design, and he was able to incorporate the elements I liked into the architectural drawings. He also gave me suggestions on supplies and some changes that would be visually appealing for the project.
I enjoyed working with John, and will happily refer him to others needed architectural design services."
"John delivered us a very beautiful and unique design that was faced with difficult and challenging roof lines. He created a space that looks like it truly belongs there and created a work of art for us. We are beyond thrilled and we LOVE LOVE LOVE the design. Our friends just rave about the screened-in porch and the amazing ceiling. Thank you!"
-- Jeffrey and Christine Hawting, Raleigh, N.C.
"We contracted with Lehman Associates for architectural construction drawings and we worked directly with the principal, John Lehman. Throughout the project, he displayed a high level of professionalism and personal engagement that provided us a sense of security as the project progressed through the construction phase. He showed strong commitment to his customer and went to bat for us, when a disagreement arose between us and the construction contractor, representing us, his customer and our best interests. He always responded to our emails and questions and always in a patient manner. Sandy and I are so grateful to have had this professional guidance".
-- Lucas Browning, Columbia Contractors – ColCon, Inc.
-- Bruce McGill, P.E., McGill (Structural) Engineering, Inc.
I first had the opportunity to work with John Lehman in 2013, when I undertook the major restoration of a historic church. John drew up extensive plans for the renovation of the sanctuary area and the complete reconstruction of new a building to house my offices and design center. John's keen eye for detail and vast experience with historic properties made working with him a pleasure. He was helpful at every step of the project and quick to handle the many issues that inevitably crop up when working with an old structure. I recommend John Lehman to anyone in need of an architect, whether working with an historic property or starting from scratch with new construction.
I am a custom home builder/remodeler in Maryland. I have worked with many architects over my career. I met John Lehman approximately 10 years ago, on a historic renovation in Catonsville MD where John was the architect. As soon as I met John I liked him, he is fun, down to earth, and has a wonderful upbeat personality. Lehman Associates, P.C. has always provided very extensive knowledge of not only design but also construction details. While working with each client he caters to each individual need and request expressed by the homeowner, as well as the general contractor. Lehman Associates has always offered excellent design work and great creativity in their plans. John Lehman is always available to either meet with clients or talk with them throughout the project so that they know their wishes are being heard not just with the massive parts of the project but also with the smallest of details. His dedication to the owner is seen in all his projects. As a contractor, they also offer great products and services. Lehman Associates plans are "buildable". Rarely are there field conflicts with the design and actual construction. However, if there are issues that arise, Lehman Associates, P.C. does not hesitate to make a site visit to remedy the situation. One of the most important parts of building or renovating a home is having a good team in place that is both talented and fun. I have enjoyed being part of Lehman Associates, P.C. team on many projects and he is great to work with. I would highly recommend him.
"We really love the modifications to the house. It seems like a completely new and wonderful place."

VirtuePlay Unveils their New Lunar Racing Championship Gaming Experience for NASA's 50th Anniversary
Los Angeles, CA (February 24, 2008) – Forward thinking game developer VirtuePlay today unveiled the first version of their Lunar Racing Championship, which will allow players to race on the moon in an unprecedented virtual reality style experience. In a joint announcement with NASA, VirtuePlay announced the first of four contests aimed at inspiring students to think about space in a language relevant to kids today.
The Lunar Racing Championship (LRC), which was developed using advanced game engine technology developed by software Company, Virtue Arts, is the first virtual gaming experience that accurately renders the physical and NASA's topographical data of the moon and to utilize a full motion seat. The LRC will be a major component in NASA's 50th Anniversary and the central focus of a new curriculum allowing kids to explore space through a variety of different perspectives, including being able to create their own game from within the LRC environment.
"One of our top priorities at Ames is to inspire children to think and dream about space to provide them an opportunity to experience the world beyond our atmosphere" said S. Pete Worden, Director of NASA Ames Research Center. "These innovative approaches to thinking about space are really helping our kids look towards tomorrow."
"We are pleased to be working with NASA, we are proud to see that the LRC is being utilized as it was intended, as part of a forward thinking curriculum," stated Mary Duda, CEO/President of VirtuePlay. "VirtuePlay's goal is to create new systems for virtual experiences with games that are both engaging and entertaining. LRC allows us to give gamers a space experience in a multitude of dimensions, we are able to push exploration in everything from physics to design, all while having fun."
As part of the VirtuePlay's and NASA's efforts to inspire kids to go to the moon, there will be a series of LRC competitions throughout 2008. In March 2008, artists of all ages will be asked to imagine lunar habitats in 2058, with the top renderings released in a limited series of prints. The LRC contest series will continue in early fall with three additional contests including an opportunity for space fans to develop, play and network their own lunar games from within LRC.
Full contest rules and submission applications will be made available in early March for additional details please visit www.virtueplay.com/lrc. For more information on the LRC and additional VirtuePlay news please visit www.virtueplay.com.

The Rise of Coptic: Egyptian versus Greek in Late Antiquity (The Rostovtzeff Lectures)

Coptic emerged as the written form of the Egyptian language in the third century, when Greek was still the official language in Egypt. By the time of the Arab conquest of Egypt in 641, Coptic had almost achieved official status, but only after an unusually prolonged period of stagnation. Jean-Luc Fournet traces this complex history, showing how the rise of Coptic took place amid profound cultural, religious, and political changes in late antiquity. For some three hundred years after its introduction into the written culture of Egypt, Coptic was limited to biblical translation and private and monastic correspondence, while Greek retained its monopoly on administrative, legal, and literary writing. This changed during the sixth century, when Coptic began to penetrate domains that were once closed to it, such as literature, liturgy, regulated transactions between individuals, and communications between the state and its subjects. Fournet examines the reasons for Coptic's late development as a competing language-which was unlike what happened with other vernacular languages in Near Eastern Greek-speaking societies-and explains why Coptic eventually succeeded in being recognized with Greek as an official language. Incisively written and rich with insights, The Rise of Coptic draws on a wealth of archival evidence to shed new light on the role of monasticism in the growing use of Coptic before the Arab conquest. 37 b/w illus. 3 tables. 1 map.

"The richest year in human history"
That's according to Steve Forbes, whose magazine takes the trouble to list the world's wealthiest people every year. (Hey, somebody's gotta do it.) This year marked a huge jump in the number of billionaires: 946, up from 793 last year. Collectively they've amassed a fortune of over $3.5 trillion, though it's not just the rich who are getting richer: in an interview with the BBC, Forbes claimed that "the global economy in real terms expanded over 25%" last year, adding that "never in history has there been such an advance."
So who tops the list? Bill Gates, of course, with $56 billion to his name, but his lead is pretty slim; a mere $4 billion more than the net worth of self-made mogul Warren Buffet. Other 'naires include Mexican industrialist Carlos Slim ($49 billion), Indian Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal ($32 billion) and Virgin CEO Richard Branson ($3.8 billion). Asian and Russian entrepreneurs continue to climb the exclusive ranks, and this year the first billionaires from Serbia and Romania made the list. Oprah Winfrey and Harry Potter scribbler J.K. Rowling also made the list, making them two of the world's wealthiest women. Of course, their fortunes don't hold a candle to those of Alice L. and Helen Kemper Robson Walton, the daughter and widow of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, respectively, who each are estimated to be worth about $18 billion.

June 22, 2016 June 22, 2016 factorysunburstanalysis, Andrew Lawrence, Chris Rock, comedy, commentary, Eddie Izzard, Eddie Murphy, Jim Jeffries, Jo Brand, Larry the Cable Guy, Lenny Bruce, Michael McIntyre, Phelim McDermott, Richard Pryor, Stewart Lee, Victoria Wood
So, I was thinking about comedy lately. I was thinking in particular about comedians who specialise in saying stuff that they know that their audiences are likely to find offensive, but who say it in such a way that they can get their audiences to laugh at it. (The crucial thing here is the plural: 'audiences'. Not all comedians have the same audience. We'll get back to this.)
Now, one of the basic axioms of our understanding of modern comedy is that its fundamental function is to make you laugh. You can find it articulated here, in this archive review from 2007, on the website of my current employers, of a show by Australian comedian Jim Jeffries: 'Through all of this, Jeffries' humour borders on the visceral, but you can't write him off as simply a shock merchant; anyone can be gratuitously offensive but Jeffries never forgets that his prime task is to make us laugh.' I think that this is something that most comedians, and most lovers of comedy, and most comedy critics, would agree about: the ultimate function of comedy is to make you laugh.
Now, here is where I depart from the consensus. I think that most comedians, and most comedy lovers, and most comedy critics, are mistaking the medium of comedy (or, perhaps, 'genre', but let's go with 'medium' for now) for the functions of individual comedians.
I think that, to claim that the 'prime task' of any comedian is to make us laugh, is like saying that the prime task of any novelist is to assemble words into sentences that compose an extended narrative sequence, or that the prime task of any painter is to produce canvases with paint on them. Saying that comedians are supposed to make people laugh, only describes how it is that comedians do what they actually do.
Making the audience laugh is not the prime task of the comedian. Making people laugh is just what distinguishes comedians from non-comedians. Making people laugh is what Michael McIntyre has in common with Stewart Lee, and what Jim Jeffries has in common with…okay, well, any comedian you can think of who is exceptionally family-friendly. The prime task of the comedian varies, depending on whatever it is that that particular comedian is using the medium of comedy to do.
The medium of comedy is that you go up on stage and make people laugh. But the reason why comedy is still in so many ways such a confused, immature and thoughtless art form, is that too many comedians still think that all they really have to do is make people laugh, By Any Means Necessary. This is why comedy reviews are usually so fucking boring. The reviewer sits there and reports on whether or not a show was, In The Reviewer's Opinion, funny, without usually taking the effort to describe what the comedian was doing; what the comedian's stance was with respect to the audience; whether the jokes were intended to bring the audience in or drive them off; whether the jokes were jokes on the comedian or jokes that enlisted the audience with the comedian, at the expense of some third party, etc. And the reason why most comedy reviews don't talk about stuff like that, is that most comedians haven't thought about it either.
Of course, there are some comedians who have thought about it. Stewart Lee is probably the most glaring example, but really, any great comedian has confronted these questions on a visceral level, and with any great comedian's act, I would submit that their solutions to these problems become very complex. Lenny Bruce, at his best, offered himself up as a kind of sacrificial lion to the priests of bigotry, rhythmically deploying the N-word and other offensive phrases in a noble if doomed attempt to defuse their power. Richard Pryor made comedy out of his own almost helpless self-destructiveness. Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock and other black American comedians made comedy out of their rage.
Eddie Izzard makes comedy out of his own weaknesses as a performer. I once attended a discussion on performance at which Phelim McDermott was one of the speakers. Phelim McDermott talked about classes he'd once given on improv, which a young Eddie Izzard had attended, and Eddie had been, by Phelim's assessment, seriously bad at them, and everyone had felt bad for him and wished he'd stop coming, but Eddie kept coming and kept doing what he was doing and kept honing it, and after a while, Phelim realised that what Eddie was doing was polishing the appearance of ineptness, until finally the very fact that Eddie couldn't do accents and couldn't really become anyone else convincingly was what became incredibly funny: part of the whole point of Eddie Izzard's act is that he takes the least possible effort to convince you that he is now someone else. His Darth Vader impersonation consists solely of putting his hand over his mouth and being a bit more assertive than usual. He constantly drops the thread and picks it up again, pretends to take notes on any moment that doesn't get a laugh, etc.
But this brings me back to my original argument. Stewart Lee's comedy keeps people's attention by making them laugh, but his prime task is to make them think about comedy and about society. Larry the Cable Guy's comedy keeps people's attention by making them laugh, but his prime task is to reassure them that it's okay to have their prejudices. Jim Davidson's prime task is the same as Larry the Cable Guy's. Jo Brand's prime task, by contrast, is to bluntly confront the audience with its own prejudices. Victoria Wood's prime task as a stand-up was to tell stories about vulnerability and failure. Michael McIntyre's prime task is to maximize his brand potential by being no better than his audience thinks it would be if it tried its own hand at stand-up. And so on. The title of this post, 'I don't care who you are, that's funny', is one of the catchphrases of Larry the Cable Guy. If you insert the words 'the fuck' between 'who' and 'you', you can begin to see the anxious aggression of the comedian who is becoming uneasily aware that the audience is beginning to wonder why, exactly, it's laughing.
If we laugh, we tend to think that the comedy has been successful, even if it goes against our better instincts about whether or not we enjoy hearing what the comedian has to say. I may or may not find Andrew Lawrence's delivery funny; I do, however, find what he has to say toxic, bigoted, entitled, self-pitying and depressing, and my sense of humour is not so well-formed that I laugh at him anyway. I just want him to shut the fuck up and go away.
However, Andrew Lawrence, although not in the same league as the aforementioned comedians, is an interesting case, because he proves my argument. When he was younger, his relative youth and extremely dark take on comedy placed him with supposedly similar young comedians of a similarly dark disposition. But Lawrence's early success as a comedian was based on his performance of tortured guilt about having the kind of opinions that he had. He would deliver up his gags as if he felt bad about making them. (Sample joke, actually pretty funny: 'I admire these phone hackers. I think they have a lot of patience. I can't even be bothered to check my own voicemails.') But as he's got older, he's become less and less apologetic.
As Lawrence has entered his late 30s, he's become more and more honest about how he's just a right-wing bigot. This is, of course, his right as a human being. What's surprising is that he's so bitter that his audience has abandoned him. They liked being teased by his hints at how dark he was, as long as he was willing to look like he felt guilty about it, but let's face it, all along, he would have been way happier telling racist jokes at Ukip fundraisers to florid middle-aged men in blazers, instead of to Fringe audiences who didn't agree with him about the EU. But it goes to show that if the comedian's prime task (which, in his case, has become to unapologetically vent his bigotry) is completely at right angles to the audience's own sensibilities, then they will no longer find him funny.
So how does he prove my argument? This Independent article from last year quotes him: 'If you present yourself as a comedian, your job is to be funny, not to educate audiences…Just make me laugh.' If Andrew Lawrence truly believes that his job is to be funny and not to educate audiences, then you do have to wonder why his Twitter feed as of the third week of June 2016 has become nothing but a conduit for Brexit propaganda.
The only conclusion is that comedians do comedy for lots of different reasons. Some, to pull everyone together. Some, to divide people up. Some, to heal. Some, to wound. The only thing that unites them is that the medium by which they do this involves making people laugh, for one reason or another. It's when the laughter stops that the failing comedian has to face the difficult questions. And the fact that we still talk about comedy as if it was solely there to get a laugh, is the reason why so few of them ever do.

Q: MIgrating from Flex 3.1 to 3.5 I want to migrate from Flex 3.1 to Flex 3.5, but I can't find any useful release notes on the differences between the two. I found the official Adobe website but it is more focused on the difference between 2 and 3, and not different versions of 3. Can someone help me out?
Thanks

A: In theory there isn't a lot of difference.  Have you tried to just change the SDK on your project(s) and then see what works or doesn't?
Msot of the issues you'll run into, I expect, will relate to your custom component development that extend the existing components.  The Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox, for example, had issues because the way the drop down is handled in the Flex ComboBox changed from 3.4 to 3.5.  Since our component is a highly customized ComboBox; we inherited this change which "Broke".
However, my experience is probably a fringe case as in the course of normal development you wouldn't be customizing things so heavily.
Try it and see.

Zegree and Savage lead a whole lotta shakin' in Lincolnshire as Marriott's dynamic production of 'Million Dollar Quartet' sizzles away some winter cold
By Barry Reszel
There's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on in Lincolnshire. Nat Zegree portraying frenetic piano-playing genius Jerry Lee Lewis and Laura Savage as Elvis Presley's girlfriend-of-the-day Dyanne certainly see to that.
Indeed, the ebullient James Moye-directed Million Dollar Quartet steadfastly delivers on each part of the musical's triune expectations—part hootenanny, part concert, part biopic. But distinctive to this production is the oozing sensuality delivered overtly by the (doesn't-know-better) country bumpkin (Zegree as Lewis) juxtaposed with the subtle, (knows exactly what she's doing) continual motion by Savage as Dyanne, from her understated entrance to the final bows
This is a particular victory for Savage, the topnotch Chicagoland triple threat and perennial dance captain who triumphantly marked her one-year anniversary of an ACL tear on M$Q's opening night. Savage aficionados will be glad to read she has not missed a beat, and it's a particular joy to watch her fabulous abilities in this sultry starring role. Note that her solo renditions of both "Fever" and "I Hear You Knocking" are cast-recording worthy.
Along with Savage, Zegree's running (jumping, shimmying, undulating…) with a script written to explore Lewis' hilariously eccentric personality coupled with his maniacally gifted piano work is unadulterated joy paired with jaw-dropping awe at this actor's multiple talents.
These are the most indelible images of a truly outstanding production of Chicago favorite M$Q, focusing on one day the music lived. The story is an embellished recounting of stars aligning in 1956. On this day, rock 'n' roll's Mt. Rushmore (Presley, Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins) payed homage to their Gutzon Borglum (Producer Sam Phillips) at his Memphis-based Sun Records studio.
With a score including more than 20 early rock, folk and country hits sung by America's fab four, M$Q was created by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott, premiered in Florida (2006) and enjoyed a successful Broadway run (2010-11) that included a Best Musical Tony nomination. But arguably, the show's greatest success was enjoyed in Chicago, where its 2008 Goodman opening transferred to the Apollo theatre and stayed until January 2016, closing after nearly 3,000 performances.
The Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, with its storied "in the round" setting (really, it's a square), is perfect for this production. Jeffrey D. Kmiec's simple Sun Records studio set onstage is augmented, since the actors supply all the live music, by use of Marriott's usual orchestra pit behind section one as the studio's sound booth. But make no mistake, the shakin' goes on front and center. The plot focuses on December 4, 1956, when Presley (with girlfriend Dyanne), Perkins, Cash and Lewis all happened to be in attendance at Phillips' studio. The event was captured by a famous photograph (above), and Phillips is credited with coining the title moniker to represent the four men's careers he launched. Business is mixed with the pleasure of the evening's jam session, and while the talented musicians are the stuff of this terrific musical, it's clear this is really Phillips' story. (A full history and plot summary may be read here.)
Music Director Ryan T. Nelson assembles a terrific team of musicians to accompany the well-known songbook. The duo of onstage backup musicians includes Zach Lentino on bass (reprising his 2017 Paramount Theatre role as Jay Perkins) and Kieran McCabe on percussion as studio musician Fluke. Moye guides this one act version of M$Q at an excellent pace, pulling the most from his quartet of acting musician/impressionists to effectively sell their representations of American legends.
Highlights are well-known hits that are part of the American musical canon. These include Shaun Whitley's (Perkins) "Who do You Love?" and "See You Later Alligator"; Christopher J. Essex's (Cash) "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line" and "Sixteen Tons"; Rustin Cole Sailors' (Presley) "Hound Dog" and "Long Tall Sally"; and Zegree's (Lewis) "Great Balls of Fire" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On."
Finally, David Folsom as Phillips is a nuanced actor who allows those who made his character famous to tell the story of this tale's ostensible lead without getting in their way. It's curious this character's only musical contribution is as a backup singer, and one can't help but wonder if giving him an aside ballad (Presley hit "Are You Lonesome Tonight" comes immediately to mind) would add to this characterization. Still his role is to remind audiences the key to good friendship and good business alike is relational. The lesson is punctuated with understanding that the success afforded these members of his Million Dollar Quartet would not have come without him.
So to beat the winter chill, patrons best lay down their swords and shields down by the riverside and make a trek to Lincolnshire where there's a whole lotta sexy shakin' goin' on!
Marriott Theatre presents "Million Dollar Quartet" through March 16 at 10 Marriott Drive, Lincolnshire. More information and tickets are available here.

Working together (co-production) to improve SEND (this page)
As part of our commitment to working together with families and organisations providing services to families, referred to as co-production, we would like to introduce an important new group.
The SEND Collective
The SEND Collective is a newly formed network of organisations who provide services to young people with additional needs and disabilities and their families. The group meets regularly to develop and progress its objectives, to improve user-led support for young people and their families.
The meetings are divided into two sections:
The first section gives an opportunity for providers to share successes, best practice, service development opportunities and sector concerns.
The second section allows information sharing between our staff and practitioners from health statutory bodies to give young people a voice and inform at a strategic level.
New members to the collective are welcome. Organisations offering services in Bedfordshire and with a focus on children, young people and family, are eligible to join.
If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Rose McHugh (SEND Collective Chair): rose@bdcps.org.uk.
We also work closely with the SNAP Parent Carer Forum (SNAP PCF), the strategic voice of parents. SNAP PCF works closely with us and Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (BCCG) to inform SEND service improvements. SNAP PCF listens to the voice of parents and carers in Central Bedfordshire, providing valuable input and feedback through a range of channels.
Find out more about SNAP PCF.
