A Vietnamese-owned banana farm is shown in southern Laos's Savannakhet province in an undated photo.
Lao workers at Chinese-operated banana plantations are falling ill in large numbers from exposure to chemicals used on the farms, with many suffering from respiratory or liver problems, sources in the Southeast Asian nation say.
Lao government orders began closing down the environmentally destructive farms in the country's northern provinces in January 2017, with the ban shuttering the commercial operations when their contracts expire and forbidding new contracts from being signed.
In the Maung Sing district of northern Laos's Luang Namtha province, meanwhile, at least 20 banana workers, many already having left their work on the farms, come each month to the local hospital for treatment, a hospital official told RFA's Lao Service.
Pregnant women working in the fields are especially at risk from chemical exposure, the hospital official said, adding that many go into labor prematurely, sometimes giving birth to deformed children.
One woman, a resident of Maung Sing, fell ill two years ago after working for a year at a Chinese banana farm in northern Laos's Phongsaly province, a village health worker told RFA, also on condition he not be named.
Though the company released the woman from employment when it was clear that she was sick, "they have said they are not responsible for her illness, and she is only receiving basic health care from her district," the source said, adding that the woman is still gravely ill and not expected to survive.
In a 2016 report, the most recent available, by Laos's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, six Lao farm workers died of pesticide or herbicide inhalation during the period 2012 to 2015, with three deaths reported in Champassak province in the south, and two in Xieng Khouang province and one in Bokeo province in the north.
Meanwhile, four or five banana workers at a Chinese plantation in Muang Nan district in northern Laos's Luang Prabang province were left covered in rashes after falling ill in December and are being treated in a local hospital, a district health official told RFA, speaking on condition of anonymity.
As many as a hundred others in the district may also be ill but are not seeking treatment, she said.
Bananas are now farmed in six northern provinces of Laos, in four provinces in the central part of the country, and is four provinces in the south, with other farms growing sugarcane, melon, cabbage, lettuce, and other crops.
All use polluting chemicals, sources say.
And while banana farming is slowly being phased out in the country's north, Lao authorities granted a large concession in May to a Vietnamese company growing bananas in southern Laos's Savannakhet province for export to Europe and Russia.
Government assurances of protection from chemical pollution at plantations in the south are widely doubted, sources say.
Illnesses and deaths have long been reported among Lao workers exposed to chemicals on foreign-owned farms, with many suffering open sores, headaches, and dizzy spells, sources told RFA in earlier reports.
Chemical run-off from farms has also polluted many of the country's water sources, killing fish and other animals and leaving water from local rivers and streams unfit to drink, sources say.
Your Lao commie government exploits you, steals your lands, rob your properties, steals your money and now poisons you. Stand up for your right Lao people so the free world and the UN can come in to help you.
so often Happened Same Same and can not say or tell too much Because Vietnam step on their mouths and run Under table Black mail to some High ranking officers.


In July I went out to Redding, California for two weeks this summer to attend Bethel's WorshipU school. It was an incredible two weeks filled with worship, great teaching, so much stirred up in my heart creatively, new friends, and exploring northern California. Mountains and water all within an hour of each other was quite dreamy. I see you Cali.
I had the opportunity to do a photography class while there, so below you'll see the collection.

Loubaresse est une ancienne commune française située dans le département du Cantal, en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Elle a fusionné le  avec les communes de Faverolles, Saint-Just et Saint-Marc pour constituer la commune nouvelle de Val d'Arcomie.

Géographie

Cette localité est située dans le massif  de la Margeride, au sud du Massif central. Elle se trouve à une heure de Clermont-Ferrand, et à 2 heures de Montpellier. Le territoire est bordé par la Truyère et arrosé par son affluent, le ruisseau d'Arcomie.

Communes limitrophes

Histoire
Loubaresse provient du terme de langue occitane Lobaressa signifie « lieu hanté par les loups».

Loubaresse est constituée de l'ancienne section de Chaliers « Lou Balax », ce qui peut plus vraisemblablement expliquer l'origine du nom. Le « Balax » signifiant le fossé, la gorge, le ravin.

La commune avait été créée en 1878 par la division de la commune de Chaliers. En 1973, elle fusionna avec l'ancienne commune de Bournoncles, qui resta commune associée jusqu'à la création de la nouvelle commune de Val d'Arcomie.

Ryan Klingler steps down as Fennville's boys basketball coach
ALAN BABBITT
Ryan Klingler, who guided the Fennville boys basketball team during the Wes Leonard tragedy last year, is taking a break from coaching to focus on other priorities.
Klingler's decision to step down as varsity coach after 10 seasons was announced Monday. He said he plans to continue teaching at Fennville but cannot meet his expectations for a coach.
Joe Rodriguez, a Fennville graduate, has been hired to replace Klingler, Athletic Director Travis Spaman said.
"It takes a real commitment and, right now, I'm ready to make that change," Klingler said. "There are some other important things in my life I want to focus on."
Klingler has been involved with the Wes Leonard Heart Team that developed following Leonard's death shortly after a basketball game in March 2011.
The organization aims to raise awareness about and funds for potentially life-saving automated external defibrillators in places such as schools.
Klingler's generosity and compassion gave a grieving basketball team, school and family what they needed during a heartbreaking time, fellow Fennville teacher and coach Tim Schipper said.
"He did an amazing job," Schipper said. "I remember he looked at me before going into one of those press conferences (after Leonard's death) and said 'Nobody taught us what to do in this situation.
"He just has a passion for kids. We knew what the kids needed. He spent a lot of time doing that. He never said no to anything the Leonard (family) said or the kids who came to him. They always looked up to him. That's exactly what they needed."
Klingler expressed gratitude for the support he has received from the Fennville community before and after Leonard's death. An autopsy determined Leonard's undiagnosed enlarged heart was the cause of death.
"Loyalty and dedication, those are some qualities that are important to me. Fennville has shown that," Klingler said. "It always will have a special place in my heart. The support the community has shown through the tragic event and before that is always what I thought coaching and teaching in a place like Fennville could be."
Fennville won three district championships and three Southwestern Athletic Conference titles during Klingler's tenure. He resigned on May 21, Spaman said.
The Blackhawks posted a 10-13 record this season and reached the Class C district finals before losing to Bloomingdale.
"Coach Klingler's years of dedication and service to the Fennville basketball program, the athletic department and the Fennville community as a whole will be greatly missed," Spaman said. "(He) has devoted numerous hours to helping out student-athletes become successful both on and off the court."

Deciding how to approach food choice has gotten needlessly complicated. It's easy to feel disempowered with all the misinformation and contradictions that abound on food, nutrition and health. With the exception of a few confirmed intolerances, I try to make all foods fit though I am drawn most to the foodways of the Mediterranean. It has a focus on simple, fresh ingredients and been well-studied for its positive impacts on health and aging – and most importantly, so delicious!
But there definitely is not one definition for healthy eating and the good news is there really is no such thing as perfection. (The Mediterranean diet hits on multiple cylinders, but this is actually true of most traditional diets that emphasize fresh, whole ingredients abundantly available in the culture's local environment.) Given that food affects us all in different ways, "healthy" varies from person to person (covered in a past blog post available here) but while needs do vary, there are some basic principles that most experts agree are at the backbone of a nutritious diet.
It all starts with a healthy relationship with food.
Having a good relationship with food is the foundation and the place from which all food choices should be made. What does this look like?
Letting our own internal hunger and fullness cues help us make intuitive choices on what and how much to eat.
(That said) knowing there are times we might eat a little more than we need and others a little less, yet trusting that all will come into balance in the end.
Knowing which foods are worth avoiding because eating them is not worth the consequences. Whether it's the salty foods that raise blood pressure, avoiding nuts due to an allergy and risk for anaphylactic shock, or spicy foods that inevitably lead to indigestion. I repeat, why not fuel for greatness?!
Making room for indulgence. Life is short and food is one of life's simple pleasures. It's also one of the ways we come together in community and celebration.
Dropping food labels. When food is just food, without assigning judgments like "good," "bad," "clean," or "unclean" – we may find a solution to the #i-cant-stop-at-one syndrome. A dietitian I know helps her clients break away from food obsessions by giving them permission to eat this particular thing at every meal. Can you guess what it is? Exactly the foods they have called forbidden! The result is that her clients consistently report finding freedom from food insecurities.
Is there a place for food-combining?
There isn't a lot of hard science to support the notion that eating foods in the right combinations has any better or worse effect on health, although the ancient practice of Ayurveda does promote eating foods in proper combinations (e.g. eating fruit alone), to optimize digestion. Generally speaking, a balanced meal should keep us full for 3 hours or so and provide the right balance of nutrients to maintain stable energy levels. This means making sure carbohydrate foods are offset by some protein which helps stabilize blood sugars and prevent dramatic shifts that can lead to hunger and cravings. A source of beneficial fat helps provide delicious flavor as well as lasting fullness, or satiety.
Superfoods have become popular in recent years, although the idea roots back to World War I when bananas were touted for their ability to cure celiac disease (not true, of course). There are definitely certain foods that are just more nutrient rich than others. A good comparison is kale and iceberg lettuce. Compared with iceberg, kale contains 4x the vitamin A and beta carotene, 10x the vitamin C, 2x the fiber and 2x the calcium, making it a far superior choice! That said, we don't tend to eat foods in isolation. So while kale is fantastic, what we eat with it matters just as much! For example, a salad that contains a superfood along with a bunch of other ingredients high in salt, sugar and fat, diminishes some of the benefit we might get from that ingredient. It's important not to take nutritional superstars out of context but instead consider how they fit into the whole of our diet.
"Balanced" is the name of the game.
Whether you are walking down the grocery aisle or scanning the restaurant menu, here are a few basic questions to ask that will help you make the choices that research tells us time and again best support health and wellbeing.
Is the item prepared with fresh, whole ingredients or is it overly processed? The latter are typically stripped of their nutritional goodness while a lot of additives, preservatives, sweeteners and other junk are added back to preserve flavor and shelf-life.
Was the food prepared using healthful cooking techniques such as baking, roasting, broiling, steaming or searing or was it prepared with too much added oil (ie. fried).
How much color do you see? Generally found in plant-based foods, the more color on the plate, the better. The colors of the rainbow present in the foods we eat are typically indicative of the food(s) antioxidant content. We know how important antioxidants are in reducing inflammation, boosting immune function and protecting against chronic health problems.
Does the meal include each of the macronutrients; ie low glycemic index, high fiber carbs (whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables), lean protein (fish, eggs, poultry, soy) and a source of healthy, anti-inflammatory oil (ie EVOO, nuts, seeds, avocado)? Our body needs each of these in proper amounts – when we don't honor our body's needs, it tends to fight hard to get what it wants. Consistently incorporating each of these nutrients into meals helps sustain healthy habits over the long-haul.
Sally the robot is a vending machine that serves salads, snacks, and grain bowls from fresh ingredients. Any ingredient found in Sally can be used to build a delicious, nutritionally balanced meal. Unlike salad bars, where estimating portions can be difficult, Sally is programmed to dispense just the right amount of each ingredient in right-sized portions. The best part is that the bowls are completely customizable with the option to choose from a variety of vibrantly colored fresh ingredients like blueberries and beets, fiber-packed beans and whole grains, omega-3 rich nuts and seeds, and house-made olive oil or avocado-based salad dressings – these are the makings of a superstar meal.


How living so far from my roots actually makes me feel closer.
Hola, ni hao or guten tag?
Should iPhones and iPads be on Santa's gift list?
Is it okay to read to your child in another language?
Although I initially attributed the children's tiredness to being run-down from winter, it wasn't until I chatted with a Czech friend that I realized this malady has a real name, at least in the Czech Republic: jarní únava (spring fatigue)…While I'm familiar with the term "spring fever" from my school days, as the time of year when teachers go mad because children can't bear to sit still at their desks, I'd never run across the Czech term "spring fatigue" before.
When do Czechs say "I love you"?
What do the Czechs know about "healthy" drinking?
Should the decision be a parent's privilege or a child's choice?

Rockwool Logo PNG
Rockwool is one of the world's largest manufacturers of mineral wool, used for insulation. The company was established in 1909 in Denmark and today operates across the globe, with most part of sales in Europe. When the company was organized, it focused on mining, and in the 1930s it changed its profile to stone wool production.
The Rockwool visual identity is minimalist yet solid and powerful. The company's logo is composed of an emblem and a wordmark on its right.
The label's emblem is a strict abstract representation of a volcano, which is formed by two geometric shapes, mirroring each other and having a small space between its upperparts. The Volcano aims to symbolize the company uses the power of the natural volcanic stones and transforms it into innovative solutions for the construction industry.
The white figures are placed inside the scarlet red square, which is accompanied by a red brand's name inscription in its right.
The red and white color palette of the Rockwool logo is a reflection of the passion and power of the world's leading insulation manufacturers. Red is a symbol of progress and energy, while white represents the loyalty and reliability of the brand.
The logo is strong and modern, being laconic and pretty simple, it still reflects the main principles of the company and its best sides. The brand's visual identity evokes a sense of confidence and stability, at the same time showing the Rockwool willingness to grow and progress.
The wordmark in all capital letters is executed in a bold sans-serif typeface, which is similar to Gibson Bold and Avenue Next Pro Heavy, which both are simple humanist fonts, looking solid and distinct.
The typeface of the logotype reflects the company's connection to its roots and the value of its heritage, yet it also shows the innovative approach to research and manufacturing, where the company also feels confident.
Rockwool is one of the largest insulation materials manufacturers in the world. The main product of the company is rock wool, which is made from basaltic rock, spinner into fine fibers. After the process is finished, the fibers are formed into blocks, which can be used for building insulation.
The mineral wool is a great material for thermal and fire protection, as well as acoustic control. The company's product is certified according to the world's safety standards and is considered to be one of the most reliable in the industry.
The label's insulation blocks are used for various purposes: from industrial buildings to facades and acoustic ceilings, due to the high level of noise and vibrations control characteristics.
The mineral wool is used in both commercial and residential buildings and is completely safe in terms of ecology and fire resistance.
Rockwool is the company, that is in constant development — it is always in search of innovations and new technologies, trying to improve the quality and expand the variety of its famous products.

With more than half of the MVPs in the Super Bowl being quarterbacks, it's not surprising that the performance of each team's QB plays an important role in a team's chances to win a Super Bowl title.
Over the past several years football has used a QB Rating to help us quantify how well a QB has played in a game. The QBR can range from 0 to a "perfect" score of 158.3. While we have not had a "perfect" QBR in the 49-year history of the Super Bowl, there have been a couple of performances that came close.
New York Giants QB Phil Simms in 1987 had a QBR of 150.9 in the Giants 39-20 win over the Denver Broncos. That is the highest QBR of any QB in Super Bowl history. The Top Five QBRs in the Super Bowl after Simms: Joe Montana, San Francisco, 1990 (147.6), Jim Plunkett, Oakland, 1981 (145.0), Troy Aikman, Dallas, 1993 (140.7), Steve Young, San Francisco, 1995 (134.8).
The quarterback with the lowest QBR to win a Super Bowl was Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger in 2006. He had a 22.6 QBR in the Steelers' 21-10 Super Bowl victory over the Seahawks. Next lowest is Denver's John Elway in 1998 versus Green Bay; his QBR in that win was 51.9.
One final stat: There have been 99 quarterbacks that have attempted 10 or more passes in a Super Bowl game. Here's the breakdown of each QB's QBR and the record of the teams in those QBRs.

Team Wright: No Rematch For Soliman
By G. Leon
Team Winky Wright's Damian Ramirez told Boxingtalk.com, "Sam Soliman should move on instead of talking about what he thinks he did against Winky Wright. For that Winky was sick as a dog the week of the fight. Sam is a good fighter and he put up a good fight, but he shouldn't be trying to negotiate his fights suggesting that he's on the level of Winky Wright. We hear all of their talking about how they're waiting for the winner of Jermain Taylor and Winky, which will be Winky, but they should go ahead and fight Kassim Ouma because Winky ain't never fighting him again. He should be thankful he got the fight in the first place. He had his chance and didn't capitalize on the opportunity so he needs to move on. The kid put on a great fight, but he shouldn't hold up his career waiting for a fight that he's never going to get."


Isobel Kelly (Erewash Valley) was presented with the Carol Hill Trophy and Claudia Weeks (Chevin) was presented with the Novice Bowl. These trophies are to celebrate the improvements the girls have made over the past year- both based on their golfing ability and their confidence.
Arriving at Brailsford Golf Club in the pouring rain was not what I had imagined a couple of days earlier. After an informal vote we made the decision to run a 12-hole competition, which the course lent itself perfectly to. It was lovely to have (almost!) all competitors keen and willing to go out and enjoy the event despite the non-stop downpour.
a welcome treat for all 44 competitors to come in to after getting drenched!
We raised £131 for the County Girls through the raffle on the day. Thank you to everyone who donated prizes and bought tickets, this will go towards running fun events in 2019 which will include Derbyshire girls of all ages and abilities.
Well done to everyone who played and thank you very much for supporting the event, look forward to seeing you again next year!
Following the success of our final matches on 20th August I am very pleased to attach the completed 2018 league tables showing that Derbyshire Girls have come joined 3rd in the scratch league and 2nd in the handicap league.
Our next and final event for 2018, the Centenary Salvers, will be on Sunday 14th October at Brailsford GC.
There will be 18 hole and 11 hole options. First tee from about 11am, food after the game. It is a pairs competition where you will be matched up with one of the ladies who have entered.
Although I will send out more details and a reminder nearer the time, if you are interested in playing please just let me know via email.
I woke up with full confidence in my girls, I knew we could do it with our great skill and determination. However, we did have a minor scare just before tee off, with Hannah still not arrived. We knew she often cuts it fine with tee offs but this time she was lost! Thankfully, my dad did a wonderful sat-nav impression for Ashley, and he got them there safely!
At halfway, every player was up in their matches- could we see this through to an amazing victory?
I got the first point with a 7 & 5 win, with Lucy bringing home the next one with 3& 1 (a great birdie on the final hole). All the other matches were so close, and the atmosphere was so tense! Hannah couldn't quite overcome her opponent losing 1 down on the last but played really well against a great player. Jenna lost her match on the 17th but it was so close and well played! So that meant that it was all down to our youngest debutant scratch player-Ella! She was 1 down with 2 to play but the whole team were behind her and we were so confident that she could do it.
After winning the 17th with a wonderful par, both the tense atmosphere and crowd were growing bigger and bigger. After splitting the fairway on the last, she put her second in a hazard. Her opponent after missing the fairway by a long way, had some remarkable good fortune with her recovery shot- it went through trees and somehow finished on the fairway. I know I shouldn't have been thinking this but I was praying that the Notts girl would fat it into the water (and I don't think I was alone). Luckily, my prayers were answered and the door was open for Ella to hit a lovely shot onto the green and close out the match showing INCREDIBLE skill and nerve. We won with the last shot in the last match on the last hole!!! It is safe to say that Derbyshire were ecstatic when Ella held her final winning putt, us all running to congratulate her on amazing golf. We had beaten Nottinghamshire 3:2!
Buzzing, we went to play pirate adventure golf which was great fun and I didn't come last this time (thanks Hannah ;)).
Thank you to the parents (and grandparents) for all the wonderful support, not just today but for the whole season. We could never do this without you taxiing us round the country! Thank you to Alice for being such an amazing team manager. You keep us positive and are always supporting us- we really appreciate everything you do.
A final thank you to all the Derbyshire girls squad, we have showed amazing skill, determination and team spirit. We have had our best season in years – with 2 wins and a half – and have all improved so much this season and I am proud of each and every one of you.
We are a really close team- it has been an absolute privilege to be your captain.
Also played on the day was a handicap match against Lincolnshire.
The Girls Team took part in the MNR Scratch Meet on the 14th July at Telford GC.
Here are the results from the matches and a full report from Team Captain Imogen Rafferty.
What an amazing couple of days for Derbyshire Girls. Where do we begin? The girls – except for Hannah who couldn't get there until midnight – arrived at Telford on Friday evening and had a "healthy" team meal near the hotel. After much deliberation (from Jenna) we ordered an array of burgers, smothered chicken and ribs followed by sundaes and brownies. And after watching flyover videos of the course in Jenna's room with an excellent commentary J we knew to remember the mid-iron approaches and demaaanding holes!! In short, we were ready to take on whatever Shropshire and Staffordshire could throw at us.
First up were Shropshire. Telford is their home course – so we knew it would be tough – but I was fully confident in the team and how right I was proven. I got the first win, with a 5&3 victory. Lucy was next to win with an excellent 2&1 triumph. Could this be our first scratch team win for 2 years? We didn't have long to wait before Jenna brought home the winning point with a fantastic 2&1 win. The whitewash wasn't quite achieved – Hannah unfortunately lost her match on the last hole but played brilliantly. And Jess got her first half point in the last match with a tremendous battling draw against a much lower handicapper.
We were buzzing after this brilliant 3.5 – 1.5 win over the home team and spent our lunch plotting how we could turnover Staffordshire, our arch rivals!!
After concluding that losing was not an option (thanks Jenna) and exchanging inspiring words, we went out to battle.
What a performance against a very strong Staffs team. I got the first point on the board with a 6&5 win which allowed me to support my team mates who were all in tight matches. After caddying for Hannah, who displayed impressive drive and positivity, she finally conceded defeat to a much lower handicapper on the 17th hole. Although disappointed, she played really well and should be very proud. Next up was Lucy who after struggling with her irons all round came back from 3 down to achieve an amazing victory 2 Up on the last. What amazing strength and character! We were 2-1 up and I must admit I was getting very excited. However, Jenna and Izzy couldn't quite overcome lower handicap opponents both going down narrowly. What a debut for 10 year old Isobel – you were truly impressive and I look forwards to playing with you for many years to come. We lost 3-2 – but we must remember that Staffs have beaten us 5-0 for the last 2 years. We scared the life out of them and will definitely beat them next time!!
A special mention for Jess Cruz and her family who despite not playing, stayed for the afternoon matches and was a brilliant cheerleader along with Alice and the other parents.
Again, a big thank you to Alice for her excellent organisation and leadership, we could never have done this without you – and also to all of the parents for taking so much time out to help and support the team.
I couldn't be more proud of our Derbyshire Girls team! It was telling that we were the tightest group there, always supporting each other, making each other laugh and we were the last team there celebrating our successes. Only one thing left to say – Notts we are coming to get you!!
There was a fine win for the Girls in their opening match at Druids Heath GC.
What a great day at Ashbourne for the Derbyshire Girls as we started the season with scratch matches against Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. We knew the matches would be tough – as we lost all our games last year – but I had a good feeling about today and huge faith in the team.
First up Leicestershire with Hannah leading the way, followed by me, Lucy, Jenna, and Jess making her scratch team debut. What a performance!! We all played great and showed great character. Lucy got her first scratch match win with an impressive 4 & 3 victory, and I managed to sneak my match 8 & 6!! Hannah managed to halve her match with an excellent 8 on the last ;), showing great nerve to hold the final putt. Jess battled hard against a much lower handicapper before finally conceding defeat and Jenna so nearly won the match for us only losing her match on the 18th. It couldn't have been closer but we were delighted to draw the match 2 ½ - 2 ½.
We barely had time to congratulate each other (or eat our lunch) before we had to go out again against a very strong Lincolnshire team. We had Eleanor making her scratch team debut where her opponent's handicap was over half hers, and to get so far showed amazing determination and great golf. I was also very impressed with Hannah, taking a 3 handicapper to the 17th, even after witnessing her incredible birdie, birdie, par, birdie start! I also learned that it is not as great idea to give such good golfers 4 hole head starts, and Lucy and Jenna put up battling performances in defeat.
Thanks to all the parents for coming and supporting the team, Maggie for the motivating card, and it was lovely to see Sally Benn, who was the organiser when I made my county scratch debut 4 years ago. But especially thank you to Alice who organised the event, and most importantly drove the team forward and supported us for every match.
I am extremely proud of the whole team yesterday, we all showed great team spirit, determination, and ability. We also had a really great day, and thank you all for coming and playing so brilliantly. Now after such a promising start, leaving us all motivated to improve- I say bring on Staffordshire!
I thoroughly enjoyed the day at Broughton Heath and I hope you all did too! It's a brilliant way to end the season and I saw some fantastic golf being played. Derbyshire is lucky to have such a great group of girl golfers and it really is exciting and very rewarding being part of their progress. Ladies, thank you for your support, please keep up the great work you are doing to encourage and welcome girls into golf at your clubs.

Errol Forrester, born in Jamaica in 1954, came to East London at the age of 14 to join his mother, sister, stepfather and half siblings from his mother's second marriage.
Errol Forrester was born in 1954 in the countryside in Westmoreland, Jamaica. His mother left for England when Errol was about 7. Errol then lived with his grandparents and cousins whose parents were also in England. His grandfather was a carpenter and his grandmother a farmer. Errol walked miles to school but also helped his grandmother in the house, feeding animals and looking after the crops. When Errol was about 10 his father, who had separated from his mother some years previously, died. His aunt and uncle on his father's side took Errol to live with them and their children in Grange Hill. Errol now went to a more modern school than the one in the village.
At the age of 14 Errol left for England to join his mother and sister who had been brought over before Errol. His mother, working as an accountant, had remarried so Errol had a new stepfather and new siblings. He and his sister were the only black kids at Faraday High School in Plaistow. Errol took on various jobs – wool processing which he hated, metalwork in Bryant and May and as a car mechanic. As a teenager he got into karate, clubs and music, particularly reggae. He met his partner Cath, born and brought up in the East End, in a youth club. They both supported some of the Bangladeshi youth who were being attacked in the 1970s around Brick Lane. Cath and Errol even put up Jalal, mentioned here, and his friend in their council flat in Spitalfields.

Grandparents are in a unique position. They have observed their children as teens and later watch these same kids become parents of teens. My how times have changed, they tell me.
1. He never would have spoken to me with that level of emotion.
2. She never would have been so direct with me.
3. I never would have tolerated that level of defiance.
4. She would have gotten a good old-fashioned spanking for speaking like that.
5. Why doesn't her husband take her side? My husband always backed me up.
6. Why is my son giving his daughter so many choices? I always told him what the plans were.
According to the grandparents that I speak to, things have certainly changed since their children were teens. They tell me that their children tend to be too permissive with their teens and seem to be so fearful of disappointing them. In fact, they also tell me that their children seem so frightened about letting their kids experience disappointment.
These grandparents are reluctant to give their adult children too much input. They, too, don't want to upset their children.
I would very much like to know what the community thinks. Are we parenting teens differently these days? I would love to hear from parents and grandparents!


The internet is disappearing and that's mostly a good thing.
When I first got my hands on a modem, back in 1995, and connected my computer to the Information Superhighway it was a fiddly and unreliable process. I used a Mac at the time (a state of the art Quadra 840 Av with 40mhz processor and 32mb of RAM which is about than twenty-five times less powerful a modern iPhone) and Apple had forgotten to add a bit of code which would let my machine speak to the interweb. This meant I had to buy a copy of a magazine like Mac Format, which came with a free CD full of shareware on the cover and included the essential TCP/IP extension.
Once set-up and configured, the modem would burp and cheap as it connected and I would listen to the sounds, expectantly waiting for it to make the particular noise that indicated if it had connected or failed. This would tie-up the phone line and I would not be able to make a phone call until I had disconnected, unless someone tried to call me, whereupon the "call waiting" sound that alerts you to an incoming call, would set off a chain reaction inside the computer and the delicate structure required to maintain a connection would come tumbling down.
This is not unlike early cars which had levers and knobs to adjust fuel/air mixture and timing (advance/retard) and several other controls just to reach 30 miles-per-hour before they broke down. It took 100 years for cars to gain the level of reliability & performance we take for granted today.
It only took the internet a few years and broadband replaced dial-up; wifi replaced ethernet cables; wifi hotspots & 3G/4G mobiles replaced internet cafes until, step by step, the internet became less like a technical challenge and more of an easily accessible conduit through which we can access our information, our entertainment, our shopping, our calendars, spoke with our friends, find tasty recipes and, well, everything else.
At the moment it's the Internet of Things that has people excited. The Internet of Things, is a bit of a buzzword but it's actually very simple to understand because all it really means is that the internet is getting increasingly hidden; the Internet of Things is internet ubiquity where the devices we use and the places we go are connected, using the the global network to make things easier and more reliable…. ideally it will be more to our personal liking too, without requiring us to do very much.
Think of it a bit like modern cars which can automatically detect if it's dark outside and turn their headlights on accordingly, or that it's raining and the sets the appropriate wiper speed… The Internet of Things is kind-of the same thing but on a much grander, personalised and monetised scale.
There's already plenty of this going on the connected home is fairly mainstream, with Nest & Sparq Solar amongst others who give you information and control over how your house is using energy. There are connected cars that beam information back and forth to the manufacturer about performance and software updates and there's the Sky or Virgin Media/Tivo box in your living room which you can control over the web. It's been coming for a long time, and it's still got a long way to go, but the internet of today is ingrained into our lives and our devices so much already that we get surprised when a shop doesn't know our regular order or you have to adjust the car seat after someone else has been in it (yes, I know Mercedes have had individual user preferences for a while but they don't recognise you automatically… yet).
Even Google's Eric Schmidt commented the inevitability that the internet will disappear at Davos.
We are giving up control of our communication to gain convenience in the way we gave up the ability to fix our cars ourselves in favour of reliability and speed.
I look back fondly on the old days and I loved that I had control and that it took some special knowledge. I could strip and rebuild the old Triumph Spitfire that I had as a teenager, but I think I would have preferred it not to break down quite so often in the first place. Like early internet connectivity it was unreliable, idiosyncratic and required constant adjustment making it entirely impractical for everyday usage but, given the chance and the time, I'd quite like to have that iold Triumph Spitfire back again, just for occasional use and because I do like to tinker.

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Erastes
Erotic sketches, a blackmail letter, a closeted aristocrat, his ambitious lover, and a sacrificial murder. Love, betrayal, deception and vengeance in Regency's London's art world.
George Rowlands, an aspiring young painter and apprentice to his father in the Haymarket theatre, meets Sir Henry Wallace while drawing the river at Richmond. Wallace invites George to his home in St. James's square to draw his collection of sculpture and his good-looking valet Gregorio Franchese. Securing him a place to study painting at the Royal Academy of Arts under the eccentric Gothic painter, Henry Fuseli, George meets the mysterious John McCarther who befriends him. Meanwhile, Lady Arabella Wallace records in her diary her suspicions about her husband's night-time absences and his 'enthusiasm' for his new protégé. George discovers his every move with Wallace is being watched after Wallace confesses his love for him.
ebook – 306 pages
I've been musing a while as to whether I should still be reviewing self-published books on this blog, and the editing–I'm sorry to say–on this book has pushed me so close to the edge of deciding, it's only going to take one more like this to get me to fall off the fence one way or the other. From the huge list of helpers, encouragers and friends that the author lists in his acknowledgements, you'd think SOMEONE might have pointed out that he has a comma abuse problem. As well as subject confusion, and many other issues such as random tense changes, homonym mistakes and typos.
Sidebar: Self Published authors. I'm sick of this. Don't go skipping towards self-publishing with the attitude that by not having to give most of your royalties to your publisher you can coin it. Think rather that you should be paying a fucking editor the money your publisher would have. Because? If you skip this, cut corners and think gleefully at the money you've "saved" you'll produce a shoddy product which no one will bloody BUY. Rather defeats the object. I apologise for losing my temper, but this book really tipped me over the edge, and when you review books and you read so many self-published books which clearly are not ready for publication, and there's so many authors doing good work, it makes me mad.
That all being said, there is something to like in this book. If it had not had that kernel of promise I would have either not reviewed it at all, or dismissed it with a half of one star for putting words in a line–kind of the equivalent of putting one's name at the top of an exam paper, but there is talent here, there is a knack for description and the ability to communicate a time and place. It's just a shame that the shoddy workmanship drags it down.
The other main problem is the pacing; putting aside all other issues, if this had been the type of polished self-publication–as say, The Painting was–I would still have problems with the execution. It's possibly the most realistic Regency set book I've read, the research has been done mostly impeccably and you really feel that–with the descriptions of the grit and grime of the streets and the dark, candlelit rooms that you are in a time before gas lighting and electricity. But the first half of the book is so painfully slow and laboured if I hadn't been reviewing it I would have given up, and I almost never feel that way. There's just nothing much going on–George meets Wallace by chance whilst out painting the landscape and so slowly you can almost see the glaciers growing faster they move to a position of artist and patron while George falls in love with Wallace. Apart from one instance where George follows Wallace in stalkery fashion to Vere Street and another time he sees someone he thinks is following him, for over 50 percent of the book nothing much else happens. Oh, there's attendance at art school, and the occasional party, and endless pages of George painting and sketching–all interspersed with the increasingly paranoid journal entries of Wallace's wife, but there's no real sense of foreboding or even burgeoning love on either side. George tells us he's (probably, how can he tell?) in love with Wallace on numerous occasions, but he doesn't really give any reason for that, nor is the reader given any. Wallace, for me, was a thoroughly objectionable, spoilt brat who wants everything his own way, and everyone to agree with his own opinions. He's not even depicted as being entirely mesmerising which would explain why George falls so completely under his spell.
As I said, there's a lot of historical detail in the book, most of which is accurate as far as I could tell–I wasn't knocked out by modern language or attitudes. But many of the touches which the author obviously wanted to put in so we can tell he did the research were a bit superfluous and I was often thinking – "yeah, ok, nice scene, good description, but what's the point of it in the plot?" I also rolled my eyes at George being paid £200 for his very first portrait and then wondering how he was going to live – the minimum conversion of that sum of money is well over £11k so it's unlikely he'd have had any money problems for a good long while.
The major conflict, when it happens is not unexpected, but is actually well-handled. Wallace proves himself to be the git I took him to be all along which was gratifying, at least. I think what the author was aiming for was a gradual escalation of the plotline as after the middle of the book things start to kick off, but the beginning needs to have some acceleration rather than pages of walking around painting and or looking at things.
So, I'm torn about the book. On one hand it's well done to the extent of the feel and the paranoia and the atmosphere of the times, but the painfully slow pacing would make it a do not finish for many. I would probably recommend it as a read if you can get past the pacing – AND if you are prepared to put up with the legion of grammatical errors throughout. I would advise the author to get it very carefully proofed by someone who knows how to punctuate, at the very least. A neatly edited version of this would have earned a 3.5 but as it is–specially the conversion from PDF to Kindle where all the double Ts were entirely missing–I can't give it more than a 2.5

Physicians Perceptions on the usefulness of contextual information for prioritizing and presenting alerts in computerized physician order entry systems - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
BackgroundOne possible approach towards avoiding alert overload and alert fatigue in Computerized Physician Order Entry CPOE systems is to tailor their drug safety alerts to the context of the clinical situation. Our objective was to identify the perceptions of physicians on the usefulness of clinical context information for prioritizing and presenting drug safety alerts.
MethodsWe performed a questionnaire survey, inquiring CPOE-using physicians from four hospitals in four European countries to estimate the usefulness of 20 possible context factors.
ResultsThe 223 participants identified the ' severity of the effect' and the 'clinical status of the patient' as the most useful context factors. Further important factors are the 'complexity of the case' and the 'risk factors of the patient'.
ConclusionsOur findings confirm the results of a prior, comparable survey inquiring CPOE researchers. Further research should focus on implementing these context factors in CPOE systems and on subsequently evaluating their impact.

This app enables users to edit office documents from Nextcloud using ONLYOFFICE Document Server. Currently the following document formats can be edited with this app: csv, docx, pptx, txt, xlsx. The above mentioned formats are also available for viewing together with pdf. The edited files of the corresponding type can be converted into the Office Open XML formats: doc, docm, dot, dotx, epub, htm, html, odp, odt, pot, potm, potx, pps, ppsm, ppsx, ppt, pptm, rtf, xls, xlsm, xlsx, xlt, xltm, xltx.
The app will create an item in the new (+) menu to create Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation. It will also create a new Open in ONLYOFFICE menu option within the document library for Office documents. This allows multiple users to collaborate in real time and to save back those changes to Nextcloud.
You can also use our Docker installation to get installed and configured Document Server and Nextcloud installation with a couple of commands.
The latest connector signed versions are available in the official store for Nextcloud.
You will need an instance of ONLYOFFICE Document Server that is resolvable and connectable both from Nextcloud and any end clients (version 4.2.7 and later are supported for use with the app). If that is not the case, use the official ONLYOFFICE Document Server documentation page: Document Server for Linux. ONLYOFFICE Document Server must also be able to POST to Nextcloud directly.
Starting with version 4.3.0, ONLYOFFICE Document Server and Nextcloud can be installed either on different computers, or on the same machine. In case you select the latter variant, you will need to set up a custom port for Document Server as by default both ONLYOFFICE Document Server and Nextcloud work on port 80. Or you can use Document Server behind a proxy, please refer to this article to learn how you can configure it.
The Nextcloud administrator can install the integration app from the in-built application market. For that go to the user name and select Apps. After that find ONLYOFFICE in the list of available applications and install it.
Download the latest signed version from the official store for Nextcloud.
Or you can download the latest signed version from the application release page on GitHub.
In Nextcloud open the ~/index.php/settings/apps?category=disabled page with Not enabled apps by administrator and click Enable for the ONLYOFFICE application.
Where the documentserver is the name of the server with the ONLYOFFICE Document Server installed. The address must be accessible for the user browser and from the Nextcloud server. The Nextcloud server address must also be accessible from ONLYOFFICE Document Server for correct work.
Sometimes your network configuration might not allow the requests between installed Nextcloud and ONLYOFFICE Document Server using the public addresses. The Advanced server settings allows to set the ONLYOFFICE Document Server address for internal requests from Nextcloud server and the returning Nextcloud address for the internal requests from ONLYOFFICE Document Server. You need to enter them in the appropriate fields.
To restrict the access to ONLYOFFICE Document Server and for security reasons and data integrity the encrypted signature is used. Specify the Secret key in the Nextcloud administrative configuration. In the ONLYOFFICE Document Server config file specify the same secret key and enable the validation.
Enable or disable the Open file in the same tab setting.
The Open in ONLYOFFICE action will be added to the file context menu. You can specify this action as default and it will be used when the file name is clicked for the selected file types.
ONLYOFFICE Document Server uses Office Open XML format as a basis when opening and editing files. If the file format is different from OOXML, it will still be converted to the corresponding OOXML for the document server proper work and faster performance. After that you can edit the file, making any changes available for the base OOXML format and save the file to this base OOXML format.
In case the source Nextcloud file format was different from the base one, and you still want to save it to the original format, the file will be converted to this format from OOXML. As the formats are fundamentally different, some data (such as charts, tables, autoshapes or images) and formatting can be lost due to the simple reason that some formats (csv, txt, etc.) do not support them or treat them differently than OOXML standard does. That is why all the non-OOXML files by default are opened for viewing only, although there is an option to convert the file in the context menu. If you realise the data/formatting loss risks after the conversion, but still want to open non-OOXML files for editing, you can check them in the list in the settings. Editing for csv and txt files is available by default.
When creating a new file, the user navigates to a document folder within Nextcloud and clicks the Document, Spreadsheet or Presentation item in the new (+) menu.
The browser invokes the create method in the /lib/Controller/EditorController.php controller. This method adds the copy of the file from the assets folder to the folder the user is currently in.
Or, when opening an existing file, the user navigates to it within Nextcloud and selects the Open in ONLYOFFICE menu option.
A new browser tab is opened and the index method of the /lib/Controller/EditorController.php controller is invoked.
userName - the name of the user.
Nextcloud takes this object and constructs a page from templates/editor.php template, filling in all of those values so that the client browser can load up the editor.
Then ONLYOFFICE Document Server downloads the document from Nextcloud and the user begins editing.
ONLYOFFICE Document Server sends a POST request to the callback URL to inform Nextcloud that a user is editing the document.
After 10 seconds of inactivity, ONLYOFFICE Document Server sends a POST to the callback URL letting Nextcloud know that the clients have finished editing the document and closed it.
Nextcloud downloads the new version of the document, replacing the old one.
If the document is shared using the Federated Cloud Sharing app, the co-editing among the servers will not be avaialble. The users from one and the same server can edit the document in the co-editing mode, but the users from two (or more) different servers will not be able to collaborate on the same document in real time.
Nextcloud provides an option to encrypt the file storage. But if the encryption with the per-user encryption keys (used by default in Nextcloud Default encryption module app) is enabled, ONLYOFFICE Document Server cannot open the encrypted files for editing and save them after the editing. The ONLYOFFICE section of the administrative settings page will display a notification about it. However if you set the encryption with the master key, ONLYOFFICE application will work as intended. The instruction on enabling master key based encryption is available in the official documentation on Nextcloud websites.
Nextcloud recommends using master encryption key only on fresh installations with no existing data, or on systems where encryption has not already been enabled, as your files previously encrypted with the use of per-user encryption keys might be lost forever after you enable master key based encryption on them.
This will disable the certificate verification and allow Nextcloud to establish connection with Document Server, but you must remember that this is a temporary insecure solution and we strongly recommend that you replace the certificate with the one issued by some CA. Once you do that, do not forget to remove the above section from Nextcloud config file.

Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth and a leading figure in the British royal family for almost seven decades, has died aged 99.
Here are reactions from major public figures in Britain and around the world.
UK PRIME MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON
"We remember the Duke ... above all for his steadfast support for Her Majesty the Queen, not just as her consort, by her side, every day of her reign, but as her husband, has strength and stay of more than 70 years. And it is to Her Majesty, and her family, that our nation's thoughts must turn today."
"Like the expert carriage driver that he was he helped to steer the royal family and the monarchy so that it remains an institution indisputably vital to the balance and happiness of our national life."
JUSTIN WELBY, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY
"I join with the rest of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in mourning the loss of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, and give thanks to God for his extraordinary life of dedicated service."
"On the occasions when I met him, I was always struck by his obvious joy at life, his enquiring mind and his ability to communicate to people from every background and walk of life. He was a master at putting people at their ease and making them feel special."
UK OPPOSITION LABOUR PARTY LEADER KEIR STARMER
"The United Kingdom has lost an extraordinary public servant in Prince Philip."
"Prince Philip dedicated his life to our country - from a distinguished career in the Royal Navy during the Second World War to his decades of service as the Duke of Edinburgh."
"However, he will be remembered most of all for his extraordinary commitment and devotion to The Queen."
SCOTTISH FIRST MINISTER NICOLA STURGEON
"I am saddened by news that the Duke of Edinburgh has died. I send my personal and deepest condolences - and those of @scotgov and the people of Scotland - to Her Majesty The Queen and her family."
INDIAN PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI
"He had a distinguished career in the military and was at the forefront of many community service initiatives. May his soul rest in peace."
IRISH PRIME MINISTER MICHEAL MARTIN
"Saddened to hear of the death of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Our thoughts and prayers are with Queen Elizabeth and the people of the United Kingdom at this time."
SINN FEIN LEADER MARY LOU MCDONALD
"Sincere condolences to Queen Elizabeth and family on the death of her husband Prince Phillip. Sympathies to those of a British identity on our island, for whom his death will be felt as a great loss."
FORMER US PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH
"Throughout his long and remarkable life, he devoted himself to worthy causes and to others. He represented the United Kingdom with dignity and brought boundless strength and support to the sovereign. Laura and I are fortunate to have enjoyed the charm and wit of his company, and we know how much he will be missed."
FORMER BRITISH PRIME MINISTER TONY BLAIR
"He will naturally be most recognised as a remarkable and steadfast support to the Queen over so many years. However, he should also be remembered and celebrated in his own right as a man of foresight, determination and courage."
NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER JACINDA ARDERN
"Prince Philip will be fondly remembered for the encouragement he gave to so many young New Zealanders through The Duke of Edinburgh's Hillary Award. In over fifty years of The Award in New Zealand, thousands of young people have completed life-changing challenges through the program."
KING HARALD OF NORWAY
"Our thoughts are with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of her family. We also send our condolences to the British people."
KING KARL XVI GUSTAF OF SWEDEN
"Prince Philip has been a great friend of our family for many years, a relation which we have deeply valued. His service to his country will remain an inspiration to us all."

Why does debian kernel need 20G free disk space? Why I didn't face this requirement when I use Gentoo and its kernel?
This requirement causes Funtoo user need to leave at least 20G free disk space forever except he will not compile kernel forever. And the manual says the compile time will be more than 1 hour even on the modern CPU, but I remember I only need less than 10min when I compiled Gentoo kernel in a normal CPU.
I don't like this limitation somehow and I'd like to know what is the benefit I get from the default situation.
benefit is that you don't have to configure your own kernel. and you are getting a generic distribution kernel where most of the stuff should just work. If you have compiled your kernel in gentoo and know what you are doing then you can surely stick to the old habit.
it is an approximate space used during compilation of kernel ins a temporary build environment, typically /var/tmp/portage. not the kernels (package size) installed. it is slightly lesser than 20gb in reality, so that number is set to be 100% sure the build environment has the space.
Thanks you guys' explain to my question!
My agree and disagree are half half.
One important reason I choose Funtoo/Gentoo is I need an OS to run on my OLD machine on which I don't have enough disk space. For those OLD machine, 20G free disk space is not so easy. Or considering the virtual machine you rent from cloud company, every byte values money.
Second import reason I choose Funtoo/Gentoo is easy customization according to some special requirements. Your GENERAL debian kernel may not fulfill my need. So in this case I have to re-compile the kernel after I edit the config. I didn't find complete document describe the method. So I write another new topic to get help.
1. Why compiling debian kernel consumes too much resource while gentoo kernel does not?
2. Could I choose to use Gentoo kernel without any problem coupled with Funtoo architecture?
For those OLD machine, 20G free disk space is not so easy.
you can compile it on a newer machine and install binary package.
the kernel size and also the kernel compile/build dir size depends on the amount of modules/options selected. You can surely build a smaller kernel with only modules you know you'll use.

"Shanghai - A lion that has woken up" - Dr. Chan Cheng
Photo Copyright Navjot Singh
I only started going to China in 2002 and at that time the world was just starting to realize that China (and India as well) is destined to become a strong economic threat to the west. Of course I was shocked to see how modern China was when I first went there. With those observations, I am always curious of what China may have looked like prior to the 1980s. I have met a number of former Red Army Soldiers and Government Party Officials who have told me that even today they are still very much proud to wear the traditional Mao suit and Mao Cap; and prior to the early 1980s there were hardly any advertising billboards, very few people had a television (and those that did were communist party members and the TV was only Black & White), there was no such thing as fashion because everyone wore the same dark blue suits, plus there were hardly any cars on the streets.
Of course, for those of us who have not experienced this lifestyle, it is very hard to believe all of this when you see all the technology in China these days. One thing I do fondly remember from the late 1990s, and this may be a sign of how things are changing, is that there was a surge of rich Chinese students from the mainland coming to study to the UK. Even when I graduated from Dulwich College in 1998, all of the Chinese borders were from Hong Kong; and compare that to, say, the present moment, where the vast majority of the Chinese borders studying at English Public Schools are from the mainland, not from Hong Kong. Even at British Universities, the number of Chinese (and Indian) students is rising as shown here. So, it's now a well known fact that China and India are becoming rich (or Chinese and Indian people rather!), nevertheless, it's always fascinating to known the real insight and viewpoint from someone who has seen the growth at first hand, right from the early 1920s to the present moment.
Recently I had the honour of having lunch with the much respected Dr. Chan Cheng, who is the Hon. Director of Board of Trustees of Nanjing University, and the President of the China Re-unification Society, to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was an inspiration to listen to his experience of what life in Shanghai was like in the 1930s and 1940s. And when you compare what he told me to what one may see on a 20 minute walk down in, say, Pudong, you immediately appreciate that we should not just take everything in modern China for granted, but to understand that there were those who fought hard for this success. Here is an e-mail which I received from Dr. Cheng, and with his kind permission I would like to share it. It perfectly sums up everything that we observe in 21st Century China.
Dear Navjot
Many thanks for your email and kind invitation.
Here is my viewpoint:
Shanghai was among several British and French concessions in China during the 1920s. As these were governed and occupied by foreign powers, the law served to protect foreign interests. The Chinese were second class citizens, seen as beneath the colonials. This was mainly due to an incompetent government.
Today, Shanghai can be compared to a lion that has just woken up. It is a global financial centre brimming with sky scrapers. It is also the world's largest holder of foreign currencies. The Chinese government has been remarkably successful in guiding the country to global leadership status. This was most recently highlighted during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

MCTP Theatre at The North End Montessori School
Our Town is a 1938 three-act play by American playwright Thornton Wilder. It tells the story of the fictional American small town of Grover's Corners between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens.
The play in the actual theatre where it is being performed. The main character is the stage manager of the theatre who directly addresses the audience, brings in guest lecturers, fields questions from the audience, and fills in playing some of the roles. The play is performed without a set on a mostly bare stage. With a few exceptions, the actors mime actions without the use of props.

Any child care with 5 children or less does not need to be licensed and is called unlicensed or informal child care.
Informal child care is when parents find someone in their area to care for their child. This can either be in the child's home (a nanny) or in the care provider's home. There are no Ministry offices monitoring informal child care providers.
For Ontario Works clients, financial support might also be available for informal child care on a short term basis.
