An updated abstract, (copies turned in to teachers in Dec, 2018 were sent to judges).
All signed Human Subjects Consent Forms were to be submitted in December, 2018.
Due Sun, Jan 27: in Seton School's gym (John Paul II Center) between 2:00pm – 5:00pm.
Use Titles for each section of the board: Print "Problem", Hypothesis", etc. or use pre-printed labels to delineate the sections on your board. Do not make these labels by hand. Your own artwork is welcome everywhere else on the board.
A copy of your abstract: Note: If you have changed your abstract since the original version was submitted, you must bring in 6 copies.
All students are to attend 8:30 AM Mass at All Saints Church on Monday.
After Mass, report to gym (JP II Center) for attendance and announcements, pick up your nametag, and go to your project. Students will remain at their projects all day.
Bring a bag lunch– You will not be allowed to leave to buy lunch.
DO NOT Bring any electronic devices such as computers, computer games, ipods, ipads, mp3 players, etc. Seton's cell phones policy remains in effect for the duration of the school day. If parents need to reach their students, please call the school office.
Only science fair judges and teachers will be allowed free access to JPII. All others will require prior arrangement to see the projects during the hours of the fair.
Students must stay by your project – You will be able to view the other students' projects before judging begins (10:00 AM) and during the lunch break (12:00 PM).
For anyone wishing to see the projects on Monday night, we would recommend that you come a bit early to the PRO meeting.
Volunteers are needed to help move tables back to their rooms' after the PRO Meeting. We need to prepare the JPII Center and classrooms for school on Tuesday.
The Science Fair (as much as possible) will need to be held on the scheduled date due to the large number of volunteers who have arranged to take time off from their jobs.
Therefore, every effort will be made to hold the Science Fair on Monday Jan 29, 2018 regardless of the weather. All students, teachers, and judges who are able to safely travel to Seton School should.
Jupiter Ed will be utilized in the event that PWC schools are cancelled due to weather. We will not have a delay regardless of what the county does. The first judging session will begin promptly at 10:00am and all students should be at their project by 9:45am.
We thank you for your cooperation and help.
Seton School participates in a Science Fair every year. Both junior and senior high students participate. All 7th grade students and High School students that are taking Biology participate in the Science Fair. Those students that transfer into Seton and have already taken Biology still are required to participate in the Science Fair in order to graduate. Both the Earth Science and Biology classes focus a lot of time preparing for the Science Fair.
Seton School has traditionally chosen to run its science fair in keeping with both the Prince William County Regional Science Fair and the INTEL International Science and Engineering Fair. Therefore, all projects and paperwork, as well as deadlines are completed with this in mind. The Seton Science Fair is usually held in early February to assure plenty of time for students and teachers to complete the needed paperwork for those students who would continue on in these science competitions.
Students should aim to finish their projects by Thanksgiving and before the Christmas holiday.

Select a topic: Get an idea of what you want to study or learn about.
Ideas should come from things in your areas of interest. A hobby might lead you to a good topic. What factors influence some aspect of this topic? Can any of these factors be altered? If so, will something change? Is this of interest / importance to you?
Listen to current news reports. Is there an issue that is of concern to the general public or to a specific group that interests you? Is there anything changeable that could potentially influence this issue?
Is there a method of doing something that interests you? Is there a technique that could be improved upon? Will an improvement in technique affect you or the public at large?
Is there a process or piece of equipment that could be modified to show an improvement?
Pick a question or problem that is not too broad and that can be answered through scientific investigation. Remember- your experimentation must be completed by the beginning of December!
Scientific Method Investigation – experiments with independent variables and control set up.
Engineering Design Project- design something for which there is a need, evaluate and modify it.
Find out if there are unanswered questions or concerns that you might be able to investigate with your project? Investigate the factors (environmental or manmade) that can possibly influence this topic.
Talk to experts: Ask professionals who work in the field of your topic what questions or problems could be investigated experimentally. Ask what issues would, if addressed experimentally, could be solved and be of help to them in their work.
Look at your personal resources at home or at school to see what equipment is available for your use for investigating this issue experimentally.
Sign up an adult sponsor to work with you throughout your experiment. Get them to commit their help and advice for your project. You will need them to discuss details of your project with you, and help you to solve practical problems along the way. Consider them your cheerleader – do not ask them to do your project for you!
Consider enlisting the help of interested adults with expertise with the topic you are considering. These additional adults do not have to be your adult sponsor.
Be practical: consider materials and equipment available to you, evaluate the time allowed for the completion of the project Look at your family and school commitments (Project should be completed by the 1st week of December).
Ask your adult sponsor to help you decide what question can realistically be answered in your science fair project. If the question posed is important but is too broad, consider addressing a small piece of the puzzle for your science fair project. Leave the bigger question for another scientist.
List at least 5 good sources, (2 of which are not internet sources).
Organize your ideas and what you have learned through your research. Narrow your focus to a particular area of this project.
Decide finally what question you would like to ask. Write this question in your Project Data Book (log book).
List key factors that might affect the outcome of an experiment designed to answer the question chosen.
Be sure to include a clear (but brief) statement of what you intend to do and what you plan to measure.
Make sure your question is testable and can be done in the available amount of time.
Your hypothesis should include what is being tested and what result you expect.
For Scientific Method Projects: State Hypothesis. Identify the Independent Variable, levels of Independent Variable, constants, Control, and Dependent Variable (with units). Make sure to plan enough trials (participants, etc) in each group to allow your results to be statistically significant.
NOTE: Engineering Design Projects will still need to use the Scientific Method when testing the success of the prototype.
Use this as a guide to prepare a Research Plan for your project.
Prepare a Research Plan (Follow the guidelines for the Research Plan) List all materials, and make sure all details of your procedure are explained clearly. Discuss your research Plan with your adult supervisor before submitting it to science teacher for approval.
Prepare the Approval Form (Form 1B) for Seton's Science Department to complete after review of your Research Plan and other Forms.
Turn in all these papers to your science teacher. They will be reviewed and you will be notified of either project approval or the need to do further preparation before your project can be approved. NOTE: you can only begin formal experimentation after project is approved. You are encouraged to informally test steps of your procedure to make sure it is the best method even before writing up your research plan*. No results from this informal experimentation can be used in your project.
* Any informal testing of procedure before Seton School's review must be done under the guidance and supervision of your adult supervisor and with permission of your parents. Follow all safety precautions as directed by your adult supervisor/parents.
Observation & Question (ask "what would happen if …..") Informal testing is part of this step.
Hypothesis– a possible explanation for an event or set of observations. Must be specific enough to be tested in your experiment. ("If…… then……") Predict what will happen in your experiment.
"Variable" = any changeable factor that can influence the outcome of an experiment.
"Independent Variable" = the single variable that is selected to be changed for the experiment.
"Constants" = any factor that if allowed to change would influence the outcome of an experiment. These factors are held unchanged for the duration of the experiment.
"Safety Measures" = identify any potential risks associated with the experiment, and tell how dangers will be avoided.
Results – Gather Data-Prepare data tables before experiment begins. Carefully record observations and measurements using data tables and charts in a project data book (log book).
Analyze Data-Examine results using modes for qualitative data or mathematical analysis (e.g. average, mode, range, maximum, minimum, total, etc.) for quantitative data. Display your analysis using graphs. Describe any trends seen in graphs.
Discussion– Explain scientific principles supported or contradicted by your experiment. Explore any significance of your findings.
Conclusion– While referencing your hypothesis (restate), explain what information has been definitively discovered. Do not speculate here. Your hypothesis can be supported or disproven.
Follow your steps outlined in your approved research plan carefully for building the prototype.
Take pictures at various stages of construction of prototype.
Write down notes in your project data book (log book) re: issues that arise when building the prototype and observations made about possible improvements in method.
Use the Scientific Method in testing your Prototype.
Prepare empty data tables in your project data book (log book) to be used when recording data.
Use a logbook to write down observations and project details recorded during the prototype testing. Keep a detailed record of your trials and data. Date any log book entries. Write down any notes about your experiments (include what worked and what did not work). If you created a scale (e.g. color scale 0-3, intensity scale, opinion scale), record in project data book what each number on the scale represents. This is a qualitative form of data, and your scale is a non-standard scale.
Carefully record your measurements in data tables.
Analyze your quantitative measurements using appropriate mathematical steps.
Summarize your qualitative data using "mode" or "maximum" or "minimum". Remember that qualitative results are not measured using a standard scale, and thus cannot be added, subtracted, multiplied, divided, averaged, etc.
Draw graphs to show trends in the results of your prototype testing.
Determine the success (or otherwise) of your prototype design.
Take note of any trends seen in analyzed data. Record key observations in project data book (log book).
Did the prototype succeed in achieving the original goals?
What changes would be necessary for the design to succeed or improve?
Were you able to make the suggested alterations? Do you have advice for future work with a similar model?
Never alter your results to fit your theory. Try to explain why you obtained results that differed from the literature that you researched.
Follow your steps outlined in your approved research plan carefully.
Use a logbook to write down observations and project details recorded during the experiment or prototype testing. Keep a detailed record of your trials and data. Date any log book entries. Write down any notes about your experiments (include what worked and what did not work). If you created a scale (e.g. color scale 0-3, intensity scale, opinion scale), record in project data book what each number on the scale represents. This is a qualitative form of data, and your scale is a non-standard scale.
Draw graphs to show trends in your findings to help answer your testable question.
Take note of any experimental errors that may have impacted the accuracy of your data.
Did the variable cause a measurable change when compared to the control group?
What patterns do you see from your graphs comparing the variable with control?
Did you collect enough data? Do you need to do more experimentation?
Remember – one experiment can support a hypothesis but does not prove that hypothesis. A well designed experiment can disprove a hypothesis.
Are there any practical applications for your findings? How can this information be used in the real world?
How could you improve this project?
Prepare a tangible display. Bring only those items allowed by the Seton Science Fair.
Project Presentation to judges on Monday, (Day of Science Fair) in gym (John Paul II Center). Students attend 8:30 AM Seton School Mass at All Saints Church before checking in at Seton.
Where do I turn in my research plan and other paperwork to get pre-approval for my project?
All science fair related paperwork is to be turned in to the science teacher supporting your project. For junior high school, paperwork is submitted to the 7th Grade science teacher. For high school, paperwork is submitted to the science department through your science teacher (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Advanced Lab Science). Seton School has a Scientific Review Committee (SRC) and an established Institutional Review Board(s) (IRB).
When can I begin experimenting?
Students must submit a completed research plan and signed registration forms. These must be reviewed by Seton School Science Fair Committee and be approved BEFORE students can begin formal experimentation. Any data collected prior to approval cannot be included in project data.
The start date of your project is when you begin to collect data for your experiment. This cannot be before project approval from Seton's Science Department. Your science teacher will confirm this approval for each project. The literature review and the design of your study will occur prior to your start date.
What is the difference between a Scientific Method Project and an Engineering Design Project?
Scientific Method Projects utilize the traditional scientific method of experimentation with a single independent variable, constants, and a control set up. Data is gathered ("dependent variables") and analysis of results is conducted. Scientific Method projects can be classified in ANY of the listed project categories (including ENGINEERING categories).
Engineering Design Projects are a modification of the above. The need for construction of a particular structure / machine is defined, and Design Criteria are established. After constructing a prototype, the effectiveness of the model is tested (using the SCIENTIFIC METHOD of experimentation). Engineering Design projects can be classified in ANY of the listed project categories (including ENGINEERING categories).
Seton School Science Lab is a BSL 1 Lab. Any experimentation performed in other labs must be identified as BSL 1 or BSL 2.
The criteria are available for ISEF affiliated fairs as self-assessment checklists for laboratories serving as sites for BSL 1 and BSL 2 studies. These checklists are available on the ISEF website.
Can I order organisms from a biological supply house?
No – any purchases of organisms or microbiology equipment will need to be handled by your science teacher. Payment can be made by check to Seton School through the main office. Coordinate this with your science teacher.
Seton School IRB, after reviewing your research plan, will decide if you need to get documentation of informed consent (for adults), assent (for minors) and parental permission, or if only verbal consent is required. If written consent/assent/parental permission is required, it is documented on Form 4. If written consent is not required, the subjects must still give verbal assent/consent before participating in the study.
a) If the participant is 18 years of age or older, the survey must contain a statement of informed consent that those taking the survey can read and check a consent given prior to continuing with the survey. This "check" can be considered documentation of informed consent.
b) If the participant is under 18 years of age, the parent/legal guardian must give permission by signing and returning a informed consent form to you. An informed consent form is available with Form 4.
Yes, farm animals may be used at a "non-regulated [research] site", i.e., farm or ranch using only standard agricultural practices.
Are team projects permitted at Seton's Science Fair?
Team projects are not allowed at the junior high school level. High School team projects are allowed at the discretion of the science teacher.


Overdiagnosis and false positives present significant clinical problems in the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer. Therefore, there is an unmet clinical need to more accurately identify early-stage aggressive cancers and distinguish lesions that are life threatening from those that are not. The Consortium for Imaging and Biomarkers (CIB) seeks to improve cancer screening, early detection of aggressive cancer, assessment of cancer risk, and cancer diagnosis by integrating imaging strategies with biomarkers into complementary approaches.
The annual meeting is a closed meeting.
Renewal of funding is in progress. To be announced at a later date.

A great, big thank you to...Kate at Gavin, Brian and Darcy
Kate from the CaringBridge journal Gavin, Brian and Darcy was one of my early readers. I tend to post late at night, and Kate would send e-mails telling me she was waiting up for my posts. I was so flattered. We'd trade advice, musings on life, and secrets that we didn't talk about in real life.
Kate touched me because what she was going through with her first son, Gavin—who, like Max, has cerebral palsy— reminded me of what I'd been through when Max was young. Kate is very like me: curious, feisty, gung-ho to try alternative stuff like hyperbaric oxygen treatment (she set up a special tent in her home and she'd hang there with Gavin). She is also really, really funny—her Facebook updates are killer, and titles of her posts often make me smile ("Hop on the train to crazy town. I'm driving.") She's been through a lot these past few months, and her sense of humor has bounded right back. But she's not afraid to show just how deep despair can get.
Last spring, Kate told me that Duke University was doing stem cell infusions for children with cerebral palsy. We'd looked into stem cell treatments after Max was born—we'd banked his cord blood—but at the time, nobody was doing them for kids. I'd sort of given up on that until I heard from Kate. She'd been to a conference, and had gotten a packet of information that she sent to me. Max got his stem cell infusion last August. We're not sure how and if it's helped Max, but he continues to make good progress—and that's all that matters.
If it weren't for Kate, I probably wouldn't have heard about Duke University's program until it was too late (they were focusing on kids under 6, Max just made the cut-off). If it weren't for Kate, I would feel more alone as the parent of a kid with special needs. If it weren't for Kate, my life would be less funny.
Thank you, oh wonderful Kate. Max thanks you, too.
This is the fourth post in a series sponsored by P&G's Thank You, Mom program. Check out who else is getting thanked over at The Motherhood, who put this program together.

So, how to choose a yoga mat bag?
There is a lot of factors one need to consider before choosing a yoga mat bag. Each individual has his unique needs. Some do yoga in the morning while others believe in doing yoga after work. Some go to the yoga studio or gym, and some love the public garden. So depending on various factors, the type of yoga mat bag that will suit best to your needs varies.
Today we will look at the various factors you need to consider before choosing a yoga mat bag according to your needs and personality. Let's start.
This is the first thing you need to decide. Think about the stuff you need to carry with you to the gym or yoga studio and then find a bag that can accommodate it all. Make sure your bag has sufficient space to accommodate all the things without being too full or empty. If you choose a bag which is too small to carry your yoga essentials, then it will be of no use. On the other hand, if you choose a bag which is too large in size and not able to fit into your gym's locker, then also it ends up being left at home. So choose the right size of bag considering all the factors.
Choose a yoga mat bag with multiple compartment designs. It will allow you to accommodate your stuff in an organized way and you can easily find it when you need. A single large size compartment bag is no good for carrying yoga gear and gym essentials to the gym. You need a bag that can allow you to store your yoga essentials separately. You need a separate compartment for soiled garments and stinking shoes. One compartment can be appointed for clean clothes and one for toiletries. And of course, one compartment for phone, wallet, and keys, and one for a water bottle, snacks, supplements, and energy bars. And yoga mat can be held securely in straps outside the bag.
Performance and durability of the bag depend on the type of material used to manufacture the bag. Choose a yoga mat bag made of highly durable, water restaurant and odor resistant material like polyester, treated nylon, or cotton canvas. Nylon bags are best in the business when it comes to durability and also light in weight. These bags do not absorb moisture and pungent scents. Therefore, ideal for accommodating sweating garments and stinking shoes and taking back it home after the workout without spreading foul smell in the bag.
Yoga mat bags already have one special feature of holding the yoga mat conveniently. However, you can look for more special features as per your needs. Choose yoga mat bags with lockable zippers so that you can safely stash your phone, wallet, and ID cards. If you go to yoga studio after work, you will need a bag that has a padded compartment to accommodate laptop safely. Alternatively, you simply might want an extra pocket for holding a water bottle. So compare the special features of the bag before purchase.
Last but not least; definitely you want a bag that looks good on you. Choose the style of the yoga mat bag that suits best on you and serves your needs as well. Fortunately, you have many options that are fashionable as well as functional such as tote, duffle, or backpack. An enormous range of colors and design are out there. Choose the style of the bag that can blend into your looks and complement your style.
These are the five factors you need to consider to choose a yoga mat bag.
If you have not purchased a yoga mat bag yet or your existing bag is not suitable for accommodating your yoga essentials, go and get one today.


Skin is our largest organ and is important to our health. Take good care of it!
Moisturize after shower or bath. Use a cream vs a lotion for richer hydration content.
Face moisturizers need to be used morning and evening. You may even want to use a night cream or dry oil at night if skin is very tight and dry.
Use a humidifier in your home, carpets, drapes, furniture, all draw moisture out of the air.
Use hand lotion and wear gloves or mittens. Cuticle oils or creams will keep nails and healthier and protected from hang nails and possible infection.
Be careful with lip care products as some contain petroleum/glycols and will actually dry out your lips.

Korda on verge of historic Aus Open crown
Date: 16th February 2019
By: ALPG/Golf Australia
Photo courtesy of Golf Australia
Nelly Korda said she was not about to even think about the family history that she is chasing in the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open tomorrow. But the superstar American 20-year-old is going to find that hard.
Enough people will surely remind her that she is the only member of her family who has not won an Australian Open of sorts -- whether it be tennis or golf.
Korda, the world No. 16, monstered The Grange's west course in Adelaide for a second straight day today to seize an iron grip on the Open. After a 67 to go with her early 71 and 66, she leads by three shots from Japan's Haru Nomura going into the final day.
The Australian challenge faltered. Neither Karrie Webb nor Minjee Lee could make a charge, and Hannah Green, who started up close, went backwards before rallying late.
All of which left the leaderboard with an international flavour headed by Korda, whose world ranking (16) is lower than her age. Korean star Jeongeun Lee6, who adds the numeral to her surname to distinguish herself from the plethora of golfing Lees in her home country, is in the mix at eight-under along with England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Taiwan's Wei-Ling Hsu after the third round.
Nelly Korda is seeking to become the fourth member of her family to win an Australian Open of sorts. Famously her father Petr won the tennis Open in 1998, mimicked by Nelly's elder sister Jessica at the 2012 golf Open, and then brother Sebastian in the boys' singles at the 2018 tennis Open.
It is a situation that she said had her feeling "so left out" around the dinner table but on her performance so far, she has a strong chance of addressing it on Sunday. Doubtless if she wins tomorrow, she will be asked to perform the somewhat famous Petr Korda scissor kick for the cameras; certainly Jessica obliged in 2012 at Royal Melbourne after she won a playoff.
A bomber off the tee who also has seriously good hands, Korda won her first LPGA Tour event in Taiwan last year and was runner-up at the tour championship in Florida in November, giving indications that she was on the rise. She will move ahead of her elder sister (who withdrew from next week's Thailand tournament because of injury) in the rankings if she wins tomorrow.
The American played alongside Nomura and watched the Japanese player surge to the lead when she birdied the par-four seventh hole. But Korda is a mercurial player with unlimited X-factor, exemplified by the way she spins her wedges. At the 13th, she monstered the par-five for a birdie then hit it close at the par-three 14th for another, and at the par-four 15th for a third on end.
By this time she had the lead to herself and at the 348-metre 18th, she put an exclamation mark on it with a tremendous blow off the tee and a chipped wedge to a metre from the flag, knocking in the putt for a 67 to go with her earlier rounds of 71 and 66.
"I'm not even going to think about it," she said after her round. "There's so much golf to be played. I'll take it shot-by-shot."
Green is the leading Australian at six-under par after a 73 today, and she will need to go extremely low tomorrow to win other than if Korda imploded. New South Wales professional Sarah Kemp's resurgence continued with a 68 today that puts her inside the top 20, with veteran Karrie Webb (71 today) and world No. 7 Minjee Lee (also 71) are eight shots back.
Overnight leaders Hsu of Taiwan and Madelene Sagstrom of Sweden both gave shots back to the field, unable to break par.

Dancing on Ice favourite Jake Quickenden: My struggle with sleep paralysis
David Hollingsworth Wed, March 7 10:56am
Jake Quickenden also spoke about his dislocated thumb and how it won't stop him from taking part in this weekend's final
Dancing on Ice finalist Jake Quickenden has spoken out about his experiences with sleep paralysis.
The 29-year-old star, who's a big favourite with the bookies to take the Dancing on Ice title, revealed his battle sleeping and said that when he wakes up he can't move.
Speaking as part of Lorraine's Sleep Revolution, Jake said: "I always struggle sleeping. Sometimes, when I'm over tired, or I've been on my mobile phone all night and I'm looking at that, I kind of wake up but I can't move…I'm basically paralysed. My eyes are open but I can't speak, and you're still in a dream. Its really weird, it's quite scary."
Jake added that he was a "night owl" who could only sleep four or five hours per night. "I'm a night owl, definitely. I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night and go down and make myself a cup of tea, which is the worst thing, and eat a full pack of biscuits, and then go back to bed at like three."
Explaining sleep paralysis, Dr Hilary Jones said: "What happens is, you're aware, you're awake, but you're still in a bit of REM sleep – dreaming sleep. So literally you cannot move, your body is paralysed, but you're aware, and sometimes you can't breathe. Hallucinations, you can hear things, see things that aren't really there.

#Love or #Hate the Welsh accent?
Browse by School
#Love it or #Hate it? Attitudes to the Welsh accent appear to be changing according to Cardiff University research, with more people thinking it's attractive than ever before.
Sociolinguist Dr Mercedes Durham collected nearly 90,000 tweets from September 2012 to May 2013 containing the words "Welsh" and "accent" and analysed a proportion of these in detail to establish what people were saying about the Welsh accent.
Dr Durham, Senior Lecturer at the School of English, Communication and Philosophy, said: "The aim of the research was to discover what current attitudes towards Welsh English accents expressed in informal communications on social media are. Much of what we've found can be grouped into common themes – tweets showing love for the accent, tweets showing hate, tweets from people putting on the accent in some way and tweets talking about UK accents in general."
The conclusions of the study are good news for those with Welsh accents.
"What's really interesting is that there are far more tweets from people who love the accent than any other type. People on Twitter are much more likely to think that the Welsh accent is sexy rather than ugly. This contrasts with earlier research which found that Welsh accents were often judged negatively.
"These findings are important because people's linguistic attitudes can affect the way they treat others with certain accents. Attitudes also affect whether people with some accents might try to hide them in some situations. If Welsh accents are viewed positively, they are less likely to become more similar to English accents", Dr Durham added.
Some representative tweets:
"If the Welsh accent was a person we would be dating."
"Dad said if I ever pick up a Welsh accent I'll be banished from the family."
*welsh accent* "your voice is well lush"
"I don't get how people can say they like the British accent: English, Northern Irish, Welsh and Scottish accents are all so different."
The Swiss-American academic, who has previously undertaken research on dialects and attitudes in Scotland, hopes to continue her research with a larger study examining the dialects of Cardiff and the Valleys and how they relate to one another.
Dr Durham's research will be presented on 12 November at 12.10pm as part of the School's Centre for Language and Communication seminar series in the John Percival Building (room 3.58). The seminar -Understanding language change through attitudes: How #sexy is the Welsh accent? - is free and open to everyone.

It's going to an exciting month as I attend what has to be the biggest event in my writing life. Sponsored by the Lee County Public Library here in Fort Myers, will be READ FEST 2017 on March 18th. Among many celebrated authors who have graciously agreed to appear at this event, I have been honored to have my own author table.
Libraries have long-held a consistent fascination for me since the age of 8. From that point on, I have held a library card in every place I've ever lived. This love of reading both for pleasure as well as general learning has been passed on to my children and grandchildren. They all love good stories in many different genres. This makes me so very proud!
I find that the love of a good story is common to us all. Films carry on the legacy of passing on good stories of all sorts. But, as for me, give me a good book every time. Hopefully the continued love of the written word will inspire the present and future generation. This is the WHY that motivates all of the reading festivals around the globe!


Treat yourself and a loved one to a relaxed overnight stay at the Manor House Hotel in County Durham. On the evening of your stay, you can enjoy a glass of bubbles and three delicious courses from the Lounge menu. Turn in for the night to your superior room for a peaceful sleep and in the morning, youll enjoy a full English and continental breakfast choice to set you up for the day ahead!

Tennesseans urge Haslam to veto "sanctuary cities" HB 2315
Cameron Flatford May 17, 2018 Knox New Brief, News
The Tennessee legislative session is coming to a controversial close. According to The Tennessean, On April 25, House Bill 2315 passed 64-to-23 in the House and 27-to-5 in Senate. Despite the one-sided votes, record numbers of rallies, letters and calls pour into Governor Bill Haslam's office asking for a veto.
According to News 2 in Nashville, "Governor Bill Haslam's office says there have been more calls to veto the so-called 'sanctuary cities' bill than any other measure this past legislative session."
After the massive ICE raid on April 5, in Morristown, TN, when over 100 immigrants were separated from their families, the state plans to make mass deportation an official policy. Essentially, Tennessee passed a bill that would turn the local law enforcement into a deportation force.
Families affected by the Morristown raid hold a sign that says, "Morristown is our home."
According to The Tennessean, the bill will ultimately:
Prevent cities and counties from enacting sanctuary city policies to protect undocumented people from detention by federal officers.
Cut off economic and community development money from local communities that enact sanctuary city policies.
Allow local law enforcement to question anyone of their choosing about their background or homelife.
Turn local law enforcement into deportation officers.
The major concern at schools like Central lies in the bill's allowance for school resource officers to question students about their home-life without any preceding incident, which may lead to deportation of parents or other family members. Students will be pulled out of school as a result their parents' fear.
Stephanie Teatro, Co-Executive Director of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition, says, "HB 2315 sets a dangerous precedent by severely restricting the ability of local police to make common-sense, public safety decisions, and forcing local governments to bear the risk and expense of federal immigration enforcement."
Republican gubernatorial candidates like Diane Black and Randy Boyd have already made campaign commercials promising their commitment to enforcing the immigration law. In Black's video she even said that local and state law enforcement will "enforce the law or else."
Randy Boyd (left) and Diane Black (right) promise to enforce the immigration law if one becomes governor.
While many are urging Haslam to veto and approve the bill, he has not come up with a final decision yet. Haslam is an advocate for education, economic opportunities, and a booster for the improvement of Tennesseans. While he is all of these things, he is also a man who shows dignity to his fellow human being – therefore, it will be difficult for him to vote one way or the other on the bill.
On May 10, the bill was transmitted to the governor for him to make his decision. After her received the bill he would have 10 days (excluding Sundays) to decide. Haslam will have until the 22nd of May to make a decision about the bill.

Are you home for the holidays? Bring a little holiday cheer to your home with these five fun projects.
1. Create hand-painted holiday mugs.
Buy a few inexpensive mugs and gift them to friends or family by adding a little paint and some candy inside. Stencils or paint markers work wonders on these types of projects. Read more about how to preserve your painted designs here.
2. Add an extra "pop" of paint to your front door.
If you're like most homeowners, a complete home (or even room) renovation is a tad bit overwhelming. Repainting your front door is an easy way to freshen up your space from the outside in.
If you don't have the time to research paint sheens, brands and prep work, call in the experts at Brad Stoner Painting and all you'll need to decide on is the color!
3. Hang Ornaments… on your windows!
We've all heard of ornaments on a tree, but ornaments on a window? Use fishing line or ribbon to hang ornaments on windows, mirrors and empty picture frames for a festive look this season.
4. Paint pinecones in your favorite color.
Who ever said décor needed come from a department store? If your neighborhood is laden with pinecones, pick up a few unbroken cones and bring them home.
To start, wipe off (or rinse and let dry) your pinecones. Next, add your favorite paint color - these natural cones can be dipped in paint, hand-painted at the tips or spray-painted – whatever your preference! Check out this article to learn more about hanging your newly painted project or explore these photos for inspiration.

Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) is in full support of the Canadian and Mexican steel associations who are calling on negotiators to ensure U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum are eliminated in a new NAFTA deal. Recent reporting shows that the bi-lateral deal agreed upon by the American and Mexican negotiators do not address the tariffs.
CME congratulates the Canadian government for the recent progress in the negotiation and calls on all three countries to continue with productive talks so an advantageous tri-lateral agreement can be reached.

Patrik Kittel's Top 10 Dressage Show With Big Prize Money Wins Rider Support
3 years ago StraightArrow Comments Off on Patrik Kittel's Top 10 Dressage Show With Big Prize Money Wins Rider Support
Isabell Werth at the Sweden International Horse Show that will inaugurate Top 10 dressage competition in Stockholm in December.
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Aug. 24, 2017–A Top 10 dressage competition of the world's best horses and riders with big prize money that Swedish Olympian Patrik Kittel is developing for Stockholm in December has won growing support from riders.
The CDI5* event scheduled for Dec. 1-3 and patterned after the annual Top 10 jumping event will have prize money of €158000/US$188,000 sponsored by Saab plus an SUV. Prize money will increase to €250,000/US$300,000 plus the vehicle in 2018.
The show will focus on the freestyle in a format similar to the World Cup with the Grand Prix followed by the musical performance.
Isabell Werth, the world No. 1, and Cathrine Dufour who earned team, individual and freestyle bronze at least week's European Championships joined Patrik in promoting the event to be staged at the Sweden International Horse Show.
The top 10 will comprise the seven highest ranked combinations in the world as of the end of October, plus two wild cards with goal of including up and coming partnerships and one Swedish pair, Patrik told a news conference.
The aim of bringing together the world's best, he said, means that horses and riders from outside Europe that are ranked at the top will have their transportation costs covered to enable them to take part.
"The main thing is to have the top, top riders showng," said Patrik, a three-time Olympian for Sweden.

Q: Combinatorics (discrete math course help) 2 questions:

*

*How many odd $14$ digit numbers can you compose of ten $1$'s and four $2$'s such that in between every pair of $2$'s there are at least two $1$'s?

Here I could have $4$ or $5$ spaces for the $1$'s to be in between, is the maximum $5$ enough?
So $C(5+10-3, 5-1)$?

*In how many ways can you arrange $5$ red balls, $5$ yellow balls and $2$ blue balls (where balls of the same color are considered identical) such that the ball on the right edge will be red and there are not two red balls next to each other?

Total ways to arrange the balls: $C(12,3)$.
2 options that the ball on the right is not red. so far $C(12,3)-2$.  I'm not sure whats the right to account for red balls not being next to each other.
Thanks,

A: Ok I don't think this is the conventional way to do it but here goes anyway feel free to critique my answer...

*

*You know that the last digit is 1, thus the first 13 digits have 4 2's and 9 1's.

There has to be at least 2 1's between each pair of 2's, so the configuration requires the following groups of 1's as a minimum - 0,2,2,2,0. (5 gaps because there are 4 twos - 3 gaps between the twos, and 2 gaps between the outermost twos and the outside.
Take away the 6 1's that are required to be in between the 2's, and you are left with 3 1's that can be placed in each of the five gaps.
How many ways can you place the three ones into five gaps?
The answer is 7C4 = 35

A: For the first question:  The number of ways a $14$ digit number consisting of ten $1$'s and four $2$'s can be composed is the number of ways ten $1$'s can be placed in a list of four $2$'s.  Since there are five spaces in which the $1$'s can be placed, this is equivalent to the number of solutions of the equation
$$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 = 10$$
in which $x_k$ represents the number of $1$'s in the $k$th space.
Since the $14$ digit number is odd, $x_5 \geq 1$.  Since there must be at least two $1$'s between successive $2$'s, $x_2 \geq 2$, $x_3 \geq 2$, and $x_4 \geq 2$.  Hence, the number of $14$ digit odd numbers consisting of ten $1$'s and four $2$'s in which at least two $1$'s appear between successive $2$'s is the number of solutions in the integers of the equation
$$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 = 10$$
subject to the restrictions
\begin{align*}
x_1 & \geq 0\\
x_2 & \geq 2\\
x_3 & \geq 2\\
x_4 & \geq 2\\
x_5 & \geq 1\\
\end{align*}
Let
\begin{align*}
y_1 & = x_1\\
y_2 & = x_2 - 2\\
y_3 & = x_3 - 2\\
y_4 & = x_4 - 2\\
y_5 & = x_5 - 1
\end{align*}
Then the number of $14$ digit odd numbers consisting of ten $1$'s and four $2$'s in which at least two $1$'s appear between successive $2$'s is the number of solutions in the non-negative integers of the equation
\begin{align*}
y_1 + y_2 + 2 + y_3 + 2 + y_4 + 2 + y_5 + 1 & = 10\\
y_1 + y_2 + y_3 + y_4 + y_5 & = 3
\end{align*}
which is the number of ways in which four addition signs can be placed in a list of three $1$'s, which is
$$\binom{3 + 4}{4} = \binom{7}{4} = 35$$

Sapeaçu es un municipio brasileño del estado de Bahía, en la región del Recôncavo Sur de Bahía.

La palabra Sapeaçu es de origen indígena y significa paja grande. La localidad era habitada por los indios karirís o sabujás. Con la expulsión de indígenas que habitaban el lugar donde hoy se levanta Sapeaçu, fue edificada la hacienda Sapé Grande y allí construida una capilla dedicada a Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, en torno de la cual se formó la población.

La sede fue elevada a la categoría de ciudad cuando fue decretada como municipio.

Geografía

Su población estimada en 2004 era de 17.095 habitantes y se estima que en Sapeaçu tiene 20.067 habitantes.

This January 30 marks a decade of one of the most incredible businesses in Madrid. He is remembered much more for his trouble than for his football.
It was so evident that the signing of Faubert (35 years) was not going to turn out that someone must have thought that it could only go well. So on January 30, 2019, y ten years ago, Madrid closed its cession of the West Ham for 1.5 million and a purchase option of 6 that was not contemplated. It was a joint failure, responsibility in different degree of Vicente Boluda, Miguel Angel Portugal and Juande Ramos, a decade ago president, sports director and coach of the white club.
They went for Antonio Valencia, but they went out of price and ended up putting in the Bernabéu to the French, of those with 25 years. The operation ended up as an incontestable demonstration that the cheap is expensive, because Faubert left Madrid with 54 minutes in two matches in his record and almost comparing with Zidane: "With 50 minutes in six months, not even he could have demonstrated what he is capable of. " He also slipped a kind of apology with which it was impossible not to empathize: "I know some people were laughing at me, nobody believed that I could succeed there, but how could I refuse to go?" He did what anyone in his place: accept the opportunity of his life even if it came too big to recognize that "when they told me the possibility, I thought it was a joke" .
It was brief, but also unforgettable. end, in that half year left moments for the memory. "He has been gray", Juande began admitting after his debut. Since that premiere was not stopped talking about his overweight and, although his farewell to the press ("some had bad intentions ..."), his most distinctive work was a nap on the visiting bench of the Villarreal stadium. His delirious merits led an amateur, taking advantage of that reef, to dedicate him in his last presence at the Bernabéu a farewell to the height of the character: a banner that read "Thanks for everything, Faubert" . In summer he returned to England and left a singularity void that only Coentrao, which landed two seasons later, managed to fill.


Macbook forgot all passwords - now iMessage not working?
I have signed out of and back in to iMessage and my mobile number (as well as my icloud email id) shows as a valid iMessage destination in Message settings.
Also, what might have caused this in the first place?
I can think of a couple scenarios. 1) You logged into the Guest account or some other account, not yours. 2) you booted in safe mode.
thanks - wasn't either of those things - my main user has a bunch of stuff installed for just that user and a very distinctive desktop image so I'd not accidentally logged-in as someone else.
Having never knowlingly booted in safe mode I don't actually know what that entails - can it happen from power-up and would everything look the same, just be short all the passwords?
You boot into safe mode by holding Shift while powering up. It's not hard, but not common either. It can take a very long time for the safe mode boot to happen. Most things are not loaded when Safe Mode starts. Not sure what "all my passwords" means – 1Password wasn't working? Keychain was empty? Safari passwords were deleted?
Normally when my systems boots up, all the apps that run by default just get on with it - on this occasion anything that had ever had a username and password entered into it, had been forgotten.
I've rebooted multiple times - and imessage has sprung back into life now.

A trading post, trading station, or trading house, also known as a factory, is an establishment or settlement where goods and services could be traded.

Typically the location of the trading post would allow people from one geographic area to trade in goods produced in another area. In some examples, local inhabitants could use a trading post to exchange local products for goods they wished to acquire.

Examples
Major towns in the Hanseatic League were known as kontors, a form of trading posts.

Charax Spasinu was a trading post between the Roman and Parthian Empires.

Manhattan and Singapore were both established as trading posts, by Dutchman Peter Minuit and Englishman Stamford Raffles respectively, and later developed into major settlements.

Other uses
 In the context of scouting, trading post usually refers to a camp store in which snacks, craft materials, and general merchandise are sold. "Trading posts" also refers to a cub scout actitivty in which cub teams (or individuals) undertake challenge activities in exchange for points.
 A "trading post" also once referred to a trading booth within the New York Stock Exchange.

Bosnia And Herzegovina: Thousands Of Migrants Lose Shelter, After Camp Destroyed In Fire
Friday, 25 December 2020, 8:36 am
Press Release: UN News
The closure and subsequent fire, on Wednesday, at a migrant camp in Bosnia and Herzegovina has left thousands of migrants without shelter and protection, amid plummeting winter temperatures, the UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) has reported.
Nearly all infrastructure at the Lipa Emergency Tent Camp, which housed about 1,400 migrants, has been destroyed or badly damaged. This number is in addition to some 1,500 migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees – including women and children – stranded in squats and forest camps nearby.
With the devastation, the overall number of people in dire need of assistance has swelled to almost 3,000, according to IOM.
"This is a nightmare scenario: these people should be inside in warm conditions, just as the rest of Europe is doing at this holiday time," Peter Van der Auweraert, IOM Chief of Mission in the country, said on Wednesday.
Situated in north-west Bosnia and Herzegovina, near the border with Croatia, the camp was built earlier this year in response to over-crowding and unsuitable conditions elsewhere.
"For several reasons, mostly political, it never got connected to the main water or electricity supply, and was never winterized. And now, with this fire, it never will be," added Mr. Van der Auweraert.
'Zero additional capacity'
According to Mr. Van der Auweraert, migrants were still in the local area, with some planning to head to the capital Sarajevo, while others would find places to sleep rough locally.
"What concerns us is that many have said they will go to Sarajevo or Velika Kladuza [further north], but we already know that there is zero additional capacity at any of the shelters for single males. This is likely to drive people to move closer to the border," he said.
IOM and humanitarian partners, including the Red Cross and the Danish Refugee Council, have already distributed vital supplies, including warm clothes, sleeping bags, food and hygiene kits to some 1,500 affected people.
"We are going to step up the number of distribution teams and the quantity of items to try and cover this new caseload," the IOM official added.

One of America's high-profile prosperity preachers, Jesse Duplantis, has made it clear that he wants a new $54 million Dassault Falcon 7X private jet, and he wants his followers to pay for it.
Duplantis already has three private jets. This would be his fourth.
The preacher runs a ministry and a church in Destrehan, Louisiana, just outside New Orleans.
All of his private jets were paid for in cash with donations from his faithful flock, but he now wants them to once again come through for him so he can buy the three-engine Dassault Falcon 7X private jet which would allow him to fly "anywhere in the world in one stop," increasing his global reach and reducing fuel costs, because he has his own fuel farm.
Duplantis then goes on to explain to viewers how he managed to buy his three previous private jets with donations from his followers. He added that he could just use his current jet, which he bought in 2006, but that the $54 million Dassault Falcon 7X would actually help his ministry spread the gospel more efficiently, by reaching far away places on a single fuel stop.
In the video, Duplantis claims that God told him "I want you to believe in me for a Falcon 7x", and when he was asked how he was going to pay for it, the preacher said that he remembered what God told him back in 1978 – "Jesse, I didn't ask you to pay for it, I asked you to believe for it." So he's now asking his flock to "pray about becoming a partner for to it", which basically means donating money to his ministry.
More conservative Christians have reportedly criticized Jesse Duplantis' unusual crowdfunding efforts. These critics argue that the tens of millions of dollars in donations could be put to much better use than a new private jet. Some asked why Duplantis and other preachers needed private jets in the first place, when they could just jump on commercial flights instead.
But the preacher clarifies that three years ago, when along with fellow televangelist Kenneth Copeland, he defended the need for a private jet.
The two famous preachers, Copeland and Duplantis, agreed that private jets were essential to fulfilling their ministries' mission.
So if tubes are dangerous because they are filled with demons, according to Copeland, what happens to church members who cannot afford private jets? Ask again.


Nowdays we have all these gadgets, but many connect with each other. I am going to suggest one way you can set up your home communication, entertainment and network.
Home cinema magazines write that home cinema is not a DIY project, as there are so many complexities, so much different equipment, and a lot of expertise is necessary to choose the right components for your environment and to meet your aims, desires and budget. And then the equipment must be set up and tuned for the best performance. So they suggest working with a home cinema shop to do this. They must visit your home at least twice, once to evaluate the environment and see what equipment you already have, and once more to install and tune the equipment. Just reading equipment reviews and buying the recommended components, or alternatively, buying everything from one manufacturere will not, they write, produce the best results.
25 years ago we were living in Tokyo, and I set up my own home cinema surround sound system, and it worked really well. This is not to say a professional could not have done better, but I was very happy with it. Watching films the sound was fabulous. We lived in a tiny flat, and I had to be careful with the volume if the neighbours were around, but still, I was very satisfied.
Later, when we livied in Sydney I consulted a home cinema shop, and they did indeed provide good service, and I had a home cinema in the living room, and several zones around the house and outside to which I could provide music. I had switched to a Yamaha AV Receiver, which was very good, still had the Pioneer speakers, and can't remember the brands of the other components.
After this I got tired of dragging equipment around the world, and for the intervening years have had a very basic setup where we have lived.
After these experiences I do tend to think that working with a specialist home cinema shop is preferable, so I will largely assume that this has been done.
Having said which, there seems to be no shop that will cater for this in Penang- hi-fi or home cinema shops are not usually staffed by helpful people, and you want to integrate far more equipment, anyway. If you go to one of the bigger stores, the salesman will come out of the vaccuum cleaner department, tell you the price of whatever you ask, not be able to answer any other questions, and then ask if you want to buy. Then he'll go back to the vaccuum cleaners. They used to have, but seem to have no longer, listening rooms set up in SenQ at Gurney Plaza, and at Harvey Norman in Queensbay Mall, where you could switch between different equipment and listen and evaluate it. Now these rooms are just displays of whatever they are selling. Any hi-fi stores I have found have a very limited range of products they sell, and they may not sell what is ideal for you.
Kuala Lumpur may be different, but they will hardly visit Penang to look at your home, in order to make recommendations.
You want to minimise the time you spend supporting the equipment.
You're not using mainly Apple products – I object to their exploitation of workers in China, insistence on using wireless instead of having options to use wired, lack of options to add additional storage such as SD cards on their iPads etc., and their much higher price.
You will want to think about where to place your IT gear to minimise wiring snaking around the apartment, but to be convenient for how you use it.
It is hard to know where to start, so let's start with the Internet. The signal comes into your modem / router. On this you will have at least one Ethernet port.
It may have WiFi, too. If you are lucky you will have an on-off switch on the router for the Wi-Fi. Otherwise you will have to turn it on and off from a web browser, which is not very convenient.
If there is only one Ethernet port, you should connect this up to a switch. These come in configurations from 4 port up – an 8 port costs little more than a 4 port, so this should be the minimum size. Also, ensure the speeds include 10/100/1000 mbps. A switch enables you multiply the number of devices you can attach, and very efficiently manages the network so very little speed is lost to any of the devices.
As the Wi-Fi is not healthy, it is better to connect your networked devices by wire. If they are close to the switch you can use an ethernet cable from the switch to your device – you may have a NAS server near it to store your files, photos, music and videos on, for example. It might be convenient to place your printer nearby, too.
Unless you want to hack your walls and install ethernet cable, or attach conduit with ethernet cable within to your walls, or can run wires easily through your floors or ceiling, or under carpet or mats, although not recommended, then quite a good alternative is to use powerline networking. You can attach a special plug to a power point near your switch, and run an ethernet cable from your switch to the plug. Then you attach other such plugs where you want the network, and run a cable from the plugs to the devices. You are using your electrical wiring for your network.
If you wish the devices near the router to work if there is a power outage, and be protected from electrical surges, then purchase a UPS, and Uninteruptable Power Supply. It will not run for so long unless you buy a big one, but it will give you time to shut down your equipment gracefully, rahter than have it crash. It can also be set up to shut down equipment automatically if the power goes out.
So, near where your router is located is a switch, and perhaps a powerline setup, printer, UPS, and NAS. The advantages of a NAS must be mentioned before we move on.
If you also want a fax and a scanner, consider a combination fax and a scanner and printer.
The NAS (Network Attached Storage) will allow you to back up anything on your PC's over the network, and to store music, photos, and video etc. to play on your TV or home entertainment system. You will want all equipment releated to home entertainment to be DNLA certified.
Your TV can be connected directly to a network cable, or via composite cables or HDMI cable to a Digital Media Adapter, which is connected to the network. It is best if the DMA is DNLA certified, as it will work with other useful equipment.
In the UK, we paid about GBP40 per month for electricity, about GBP40 per month for gas, and GBP89 for water. Electricity and gas were metered, but water was a fixed charge, and not metered.
Here we pay about RM170 per month for electricity. Expats report bills ranging for less than RM100 up to RM800, depending on their homes, and usage, of course. Our bill is very similar to that of the UK, but in the UK we lived in a two bedroom flat, with gas central heating, but, importantly, we were out of the flat working five days a week, which would have kept the bill much lower. Thus, electricity is costing us less here, even though it cannot be said to be cheap. But electricity heats the water for showers and baths, and runs the aircons, so we use it for more functions, here.
There is no town gas, so you have gas delivered in canisters, costing RM27 or so for a litre cannister. This has lasted us from about three months to about six months, depending on how much we ate in. If three months, then about GBP2 per month.
As for water, it costs RM6 minimum per two months, and usually we only use the minimum, so it is less than GBP1 per month. Usually we pay Indah Water several months in one go to save the trouble of paying every two months, and then every bill we receive shows a negative debt to them.
How to pay? With electricity, one can pay online with most banks. With gas, you telephone and it is delivered, so one pays the bike delivery person. It is more difficult with water – you can pay at the post office.
For as long as I have been here new condominiums have been continually constructed.
Firstly, jungle may be cleared and the environment damaged. Clearing trees means water will run off instead of being absorbed into the environment, and can lead to floods. New condos often block nice views residents of other condos had. Never believe your view is sacrosanct – even if directly on the ocean, as the sea could be reclaimed in front and built on.
After construction there is a higher population density, so more traffic, and while one apartment may have a parking space, many families have two or more cars, so the nearby streets are parked out… many of the more expensive apartments are purchased by people who use them as investments or as holiday flats, and are empty most of the time, so the effects of more residents is not as pronounced as you might think.
However, although the roads are not improved, at least the drainage is, as otherwise there would be floods. The nearby area is often cleaned up and modernised. And tall buildings shade some of the neighbouring land – especially this time of year when the sun is lower in the sky. I get a half hour of shade in the middle of the day for a couple of months. And why is this better than say early morning, or evening? Because at those times mosquitos are around, but in the middle of the day they are not, and yet it is cool in the condo-shade.
I enjoy this shade during this period of the year.
We have nine Panasonic air conditioners, and occasionally have them cleaned – which costs RM60 each. But we always feel uneasy with tradesmen in the house. At one stage we had three different groups of tradesmen in the house, and couldn't keep an eye on all of them, and some things were stolen. So now we minimise the number of times we call anyone, and keep a close watch on what they are doing.
One of our aircons desperately needed cleaning, and when they came we watched closely. But I also noticed that they weren't doing anything too complicated. They dissembled part of the aircon, took those parts outside and washed using water and rags.
Thus I thought that I could also do that, and not have to feel paranoid about workmen being in the house. So I did. And this is what I did. I am writing this so in a year's time I can refresh my memory.
Dropsheet possibly if you want it to catch any fallen screws, and otherwise they'd disappear; and others to cover any fabric or furniture.
