Call to Sheep Sector to Demonstrate Responsible Use of Antibiotics
Farmers, vets and advisors across the UK sheep sector are being asked to help a new industry-led stewardship group demonstrate how they are using antibiotics responsibly throughout the sheep industry.
A new and standardised way to measure the amount of antibiotics used on farm (the metrics) have been released by the Sheep Antibiotic Guardian Group (SAGG), a sub-group of the Sheep Health and Welfare Group (SHAWG). SAGG has worked closely with the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, academics and vets to identify these measures, and is now urging all those who work in the sheep sector to support farmers in capturing the information.
Sheep vet Fiona Lovatt, and a member of SAGG, explains that the new system is a practical, farm-friendly version of the EU metrics that are already used at a national level.
She says:
"We use two measures of antibiotic use and the same definitions that are already used to calculate national use figures in the EU countries except that the population corrected unit (PCU) is replaced by kg. This will make the figure more appropriate for sheep farmers and vets to use. We recommend each flock captures and calculates these in in the same way so farmers and vets can compare use on different farms and different systems and measure changes over time."
The first metric is total antibiotic used for the flock divided by the number of ewes and lambs in the flock, adjusted for weight. The second metric looks at the total antibiotic treatment days for lambs less than a week old, divided by the total number of lambs born on the farm. This second measurement is designed to trigger important vet-farmer conversations with respect to good practice in the lambing shed.
Dr Lovatt says the new metrics work alongside an updated set of guidelines on responsible use of medicines in sheep, also released this week. Used together, she hopes they will start to provide a consistent structure to measuring antibiotic use and will eventually allow the sector to demonstrate its achievements more clearly alongside key target areas to improve.
Dr Lovatt explains:
"Two separate studies, that have looked at around 200 sheep-only farms, suggest the majority of producers are low users, but the studies also show a tail end of very high users. Producers and vets can only know where they are and drive improvements if they measure their own use and compare against others.
"The next step will be collecting and collating the data in an anonymised way. But, for now, if all those working with sheep farmers can get behind this initiative and start measuring use with these metrics, it will be a big leap forward."

"Hep C" is a contagious liver disease caused by the hepatitis C (HCV) virus. It is the most common bloodborne disease in the United States, most infections today originating from the sharing of needles or other drug injection materials. Hep C is often called the "silent disease," in that the chronic stage might not reveal itself for many years after serious damage to the liver has already occurred. There is currently no cure nor vaccine available for Hep C, which makes it even more critical to increase awareness and support for research funding. (It is 4 times more prevalent that HIV!)

Conflict Management Articles Training
When a life-threatening emergency arises, three professions must interact successfully to bring the situation to the best possible outcome. For example, a motor vehicle crash that has caused serious life-threatening injuries to one or more people will bring together law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services (EMS) at the scene and medical staff at the hospital.
In most cases, these emergencies are handled professionally with the three professions performing their duties safely and efficiently. There may be little or no conflict as each of these professions or stakeholders perform their duties as required. However, these scenes are often dynamic and unpredictable, which can create an environment where conflict between stakeholders occurs.
I have worked in two of these three professions: law enforcement and the fire/EMS system, so I have been on both ends of the spectrum at emergency scenes. Although most of my experiences were well-coordinated responses by the law enforcement, fire/EMS and medical professionals, in these stressful situations, conflict can and will happen. This conflict centers around each profession performing the tasks relevant to their roles in the emergency.
For example at the scene of a serious automobile crash, each stakeholder has their own unique role. Law enforcement has several duties to perform such as scene management and investigation; a crime may have been committed or the accident itself may have to be reconstructed requiring measurements, diagrams and evidence collection. Fire and EMS are concerned with the scene stabilization and the extrication and treatment of the victims. Finally, the victims will reach the hospital, and the staff will begin to treat them. Throughout this entire event, there are opportunities for conflict to arise.
Conflict usually will occur when one stakeholder interferes with another stakeholder. Throughout my career, I have witnessed many examples of this conflict. The fire/EMS vehicles may block traffic lanes that law enforcement would like to keep open. Law enforcement may begin to question victims, which may interfere with the treatment being performed by the EMS crew. Crash investigation evidence may be compromised by fire personnel. The hospital staff may not like that law enforcement has handcuffed the patient/subject to the gurney. Conflict is going to happen from time to time and the stakeholders must be able to handle it professionally.
If managed poorly, conflict can have several negative outcomes. There may be complaints between agencies or complaints from citizens. Liability issues may arise, and injuries may occur from unsafe practices. The care of the public may be affected. Conflict that is unresolved may linger into the next emergency incident. If the conflict is caught on camera, it makes all the stakeholders look bad. The moment our emotional equilibrium is compromised, incalculable public relations damage can occur.
Stakeholders should develop a social contract that reflects the idea that even though they may have competing interests and disagree, they can still treat each other respectfully. Emergency situations are high-stress events that require the stakeholders to maintain their composure.
It is possible to minimize and manage conflict in these emergency events. The first step is to understand that each of the stakeholders wants to perform their duties as efficiently as possible. They all have a job to perform and through understanding the "what" and the "why" of each of the jobs, they will be able to work together more efficiently. One of my peers from a neighboring fire department once said to me, "We are all playing in the same sandbox. Why can't we all get along?"
In order to elicit the most successful outcomes, people need to communicate with each other and show each other respect. They must also practice empathy with one another. They can do this by being aware that the other professional has tasks to perform to complete their job; seeing the situation through their eyes; listening with all senses to what the other person is saying and responding appropriately. People should ask rather than demand, and further, explain why they are asking. They may have competing duties to perform during the emergency, but synergy is required to perform efficiently. Empathy will drive a connection which helps to establish this synergy.
During my law enforcement career, I was assigned as a division commander for our agency's patrol division. The division was responsible for patrolling approximately 70 miles of freeway. A large multi-year interchange construction project took place in the heart of a major metropolitan area. In the past, there had been conflict between some of my supervisors with the fire department. This conflict usually took place when the fire department entered the freeway going against the traffic flow and when they blocked too many lanes of traffic. In some instances, there were conflicts that involved threats to arrest fire personnel and there were subsequent complaints from the fire personnel against the law enforcement personnel. When I became the division commander, I could feel the tension.
During the planning stages of the construction project, I met with the fire department battalion chief that was assigned to coordinate their emergency response within the construction area. We explained each of our challenges for response into this construction area. I became more aware of what the fire department's concerns were relative to an emergency on the freeway, and the chief became aware of what our concerns were. He invited me to talk to his peers, and I invited him to talk to my supervisors. As a result, we came up with a response plan that both agencies endorsed. We agreed and created a social contract that there would be no arguments on these scenes and that all conflict should be reported through the supervisors and then to myself and the chief.
Simply understanding the needs of the other agency is the start to managing the conflict that will occur in emergencies. Meet with each other and talk about what these needs are. Introduce yourself and get to know each other before the emergency takes place. If you can't meet before then, introduce yourself at the scene and ask this question: "How can we help?"

Top 10 things to do in Worth Matravers
Clare Willcocks 18 August 2020
A collection of pretty stone cottages sits huddled together around a tiny village green, complete with duckpond and a leafy garden where one of the most enjoyable pastimes is simply to sit and enjoy the tranquillity of it all. Sleepy Worth Matravers seems to have been frozen in time and is all the better for it. From the hubbub of friendly chitter-chatter in the welcoming Worth Matravers tearooms, to the programme of events at the village hall, there's a feeling of community which has all but been lost elsewhere in the UK.
Whilst doing nothing is definitely an acceptable activity in this relaxed little enclave, there are an array of walks and places to visit nearby when the mood takes you. If you're looking for somewhere to stay in this unspoilt part of the world, take a look at our cottages in Worth Matravers, and if you need an excuse to book, read on for our top things to do…
1. Worth Matravers Walks
Seacome to Winspit, 3 miles: A short, circular walk from the village takes you through the Seacombe Valley to the coast where the vestiges of old stone quarries, including caves and machinery foundations, are visible as you skirt around to Winspit Quarry. Here, some of the underground galleries can be explored (at your own risk). Doctor Who fans may recall the caves being featured in several episodes. Some of the caves are home to Greater Horseshoe bats and have been closed off to protect them from being disturbed.
St Adhelm's Head, 4.9 miles: This walk can be tacked on to the above route if you're looking for a longer ramble, or enjoyed alone to take in the beautiful limestone headland of St Adhelm's Head. Setting out along the final section of the above route, the circular walk meets the coast at Winspit Quarry and continues on around the headland, taking in the radar-dish sculpture, St Adhelm's Chapel and the azure waters of Chapman's Pool. Heading back to Worth Matravers, you'll descend into a steep-sided valley and then pass Swanworth Quarries, famous for their fossilised dinosaur footprints.
Scratch Arse Ware and Dancing Ledge, 3.5 miles: Arguably the most amusing name of any walk, this wonderful route offers up astonishing sea views and some beautiful countryside to boot. Passing through ware (land used for rough grazing), the walk meets the coast path and follows it round to Dancing Ledge. This is a flat area of rock which gains its name from the jiggling movement of water at certain stages of the tide. The ledge was once used to load quarried Purbeck stone into small ships for distribution, and later a section was blasted out to make a swimming pool.
South West Coast Path: Strike out in either direction along the coast from Worth Matravers and you'll find meandering paths along scenic clifftops. Heading northwards around Studland, you'll be treated to spectacular views of Old Harry Rocks along what is the final stretch of the South West Coast Path. In the opposite direction lies Kimmeridge and Lulworth Cove, a 14.5-mile stretch which involves challenging ups and downs, taking in Corfe Castle, sweeping bays and the Lulworth Ranges.
2. Chapman's Pool
High cliffs surround this almost unnatural-looking horseshoe-shaped cove tucked into a crook beside St Aldhelm's Head. A tricky spot to get to, due to its geography, the closest parking place is Renscombe car park (1 mile). Chapman's Pool has been compared to Lulworth Cove – lacking the amenities and crowds but making up for the challenge of getting there with its unspoilt attractiveness. Scramble down into the cove and you'll be greeted by a rocky beach lapped by cerulean waters, the perfect spot to rest for the climb back up!
3. Corfe Castle
Things to do in Worth Matravers don't get much better than a visit to iconic Corfe Castle, which has stood strong through ten centuries of colourful history. As you explore the romantic castle ruins, you'll learn about the castle's use as a royal palace, how it survived the English Civil War, and gory tales of murder and treason. It's not just for history buffs though; there are lots of activities for children too. The Saxon Rune Challenge, 1,000 Years of History Castle Quest, and the National Trust's 50 Things to Do Before You're 11¾ challenge all bring the castle alive for its youngest visitors.
4. St Nicholas of Myra Church
One of the oldest churches in Dorset, St Nicholas of Myra Church is of historic importance and has many intriguing features making it worth a visit. In the graveyard is the grave of Benjamin Justy, a farmer who was thought to have been the first person to use cowpox as a vaccine against smallpox, despite Dr Edward Jenner being credited for the discovery years after.
5. Spyway Dinosaur Footprints
Probably one of the National Trust's oldest sites, Keates Quarry (accessed from the Spyway car park) exhibits more than 100 preserved fossilised tracks made by dinosaurs more than 140 million years ago. Brachiosaurs are the most likely beasts to have created the footprints, at a time when Purbeck was an unrecognisable landscape of coastal forests and swamps. There's not much at the historic site, just a notice board explaining how the footprints came to be, and, of course, the fossilised footprints themselves.
6. Burngate Stone Carving Centre
An interesting pitstop for creative visitors to Purbeck, Burngate Stone Carving Centre offers stone-carving tuition and rural craft courses for people of all ages and abilities throughout the year. Go home having learnt a new skill in friendly surroundings – booking is essential. In the permanent gallery, you can admire the sculptures and art and crafts which are exhibited by local artists and craftspeople, and enjoy refreshments in the friendly tearoom. Tea, coffee, homemade Dorset apple cake, local ice cream and snacks are all available.
7. Putlake Adventure Farm
Putlake Adventure Farm advertises itself as the only indoor soft play area in Swanage – words you'll be pleased to hear on a rainy day if you're the parent of a 0 to 10-year-old bundle of energy! The huge soft play area is an adventure zone of slides, ball pools, tunnels and mazes. Putlake is a working farm too, so if the weather fines up, head out to meet the cows, ponies, alpacas, lambs, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more! The tearoom is the perfect spot to enjoy a bite to eat and drink while the children play.
8. Swanage
Take a daytrip to Swanage (4 miles) to revel in a traditional beach day, complete with ice creams, sandcastle building and seashell collecting. The gently sloping golden sands are patrolled by seasonal lifeguards and the safe bathing zone is perfect for introducing little ones to paddling or taking a refreshing dip! The pleasant promenade, vibrant beach huts and elegant Victorian pier all add to the seaside charm, while the Swanage Railway provides yet more nostalgia for your day out.
Plenty of eateries catering for all tastes are dotted throughout the town, and evening entertainment is taken care of in the form of pubs, live music, a theatre and cinema, as well as many other live events. Don't miss Swanage Museum for an insight into the area's history, from the Jurassic age all the way through to more recent history and its growth into a seaside resort.
9. Dorset Adventure Park
Adrenaline-seekers look no further; Dorset Adventure Park is the place to be if you like wet and wild adventure set amongst beautiful scenery. The 'Total Wipeout'-style waterpark is perfect for energetic families, with an array of challenging obstacles across two lifeguarded lakes. If that sounds too much like good clean fun, brave the Mud Trail Assault Course where you're guaranteed to emerge covered in mud from head to toe. All this action takes place in the shadow of historic Corfe Castle.
10. Eat out
If you're on the hunt for Worth Matravers pubs, you won't be disappointed by The Square & Compass. Offering a mouthwatering selection of pasties and pies to be washed down with an award-winning beer or home-pressed cider, it's a welcoming spot to spend a relaxing couple of hours.
If you're after something a little lighter, head for Worth Matravers Tea & Supper Room which has a mouthwatering menu which includes delicious lunches, vintage afternoon teas and tasty evening meals.

Penguins viewed as a longshot in the process, are among final four teams in the Mike Reilly sweepstakes
Thursday, June 18, 2015 / by William DePaoli / / Inside Access, Pittsburgh Penguins / 0 comments
Despite Mike Reilly declining the opportunity to visit with team officials in Pittsburgh last week when he visited with others, something that has been looked at as not boding well for the Penguins chances to sign the puck moving defenseman, the Penguins, though, have made Reilly's final list of teams he is considering signing with, a league source confirms.
As other teams have been informed they are out, the Penguins have not received such a call to this point.
"We haven't made a decision yet, so I wouldn't say PIT is out," a source close to the situation said of where the Penguins stand in the process.
Reilly has trimmed his list down from nine to four in the past 24 hours.
The Penguins, though, remain a pretty big long shot to land Reilly as Chicago or Minnesota remain the likely landing spot but after not being a team high on Reilly's list prior to the process, Reilly's friendship that he's developed with Sidney Crosby in recent weeks sure hasn't hurt.
Agents Pat Brisson and Jim Nice of CAA Sports are handling the process for Reilly. Both are as close as it gets to Crosby but Chicago not ending up with Reilly will be quite a surprise around the league.
In addition to the Blackhawks, the other two teams still being considered are Minnesota, Reilly's dad is a minority owner and the Kings.
One thing very important to Reilly is said to be going into a stable coaching situation/system. Don't get your hopes up Penguin fans.

It is used to modulate brain activity in specific, distributed, cortico-subcortical networks [1]. rTMS induces electric currents in the brain by producing a magnetic field perpendicular to the coil plane. This magnetic field is made to pass through the skull. The induced currents either activate neurons or induce synaptic plasticity by acting upon interneurons in the brain [2]. There are two main rTMS stimulation coil shapes namely the circular coil shape, which enables wide stimulation and the figure-of-8 coil shape, which permits focal stimulation. However, new coils that enable wide and deep stimulation are being developed [3,4], and it is becoming more common to select a coil based on the disease and site of stimulation. rTMS produces a sustained effect even after the end of the stimulation through repetitive application of stimuli with a specific rhythm. Stimulation parameters, mainly frequency, influence its modulatory effect in terms of resulting excitation or inhibition. High-frequency stimulation (often defined as being ≥ 5 Hz) has been shown to facilitate cortical excitability, whereas low-frequency stimulation (≤ 1 Hz) was shown to decrease or control cortical excitability. The most prevalent side-effects are discomfort and complaints of headache. These are mostly no serious adverse effects. Although seizures have been reported as a critical adverse effect, the current state of knowledge favors increasing stimulation frequency rather than intensity for reasons of safety defined according to the risk of seizures [5].
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease, is a progressive debilitating neurodegenerative disease that affects dopaminergic neurotransmission, thereby resulting in motor and non-motor symptoms. Motor dysfunction in PD is mainly manifested as resting tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability [6]. Various therapeutic approaches have been developed for the treatment of PD. Pascual-Leone et al. first reported improvement in upper extremity movements in PD patients who had received rTMS. Many studies concerning the use of rTMS in PD have focused on its beneficial effects on motor function. A study involving meta-analyses found modest efficacy of high-frequency rTMS on motor function in PD [7,8]. rTMS also has the potential to be used for clinical therapy, as several available studies involving PD patients have shown.
Area for Stimulation
The systematic review [9] demonstrated the therapeutic effects of rTMS on motor symptoms in PD, as evaluated with the motor section of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (UPDRS-III). However, the best area of the brain for stimulation remains unknown, various cortical targets, including the primary motor cortex (M1), supplementary motor area (SMA), and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), has been reported. After application of high-frequency (HF)-rTMS over the M1, most studies have demonstrated that PD patient's exhibit improved motor function in their hands and gait [10-12]. The HF-rTMS over the M1 suggested being increased motor-related activity in the caudate nucleus. Even so, other studies have reported no beneficial effects of this stimulation [13]. In one study, an rTMS of 5 Hz over the SMA modestly improved motor symptoms in patients with PD [14]. Another study, which aimed to improve disturbance in mood in PD patients by applying rTMS over the DLPFC, demonstrated positive effects on depression level [15]. Moreover, a few other studies have reported positive effects and improvement in motor symptoms in PD patients who received rTMS over the DLPFC [16]. Therefore, optimal parameters for rTMS remain to be established. To address this issue, we sought to identify the best cortical area for HF-rTMS therapy in patients with PD by conducting a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. After application of HF-rTMS over the M1, SMA, DLPFC and sham, we compared the results to those obtained during sham stimulations [17]. This study reported that the UPDRS-III scores following the application of HF-rTMS over the M1 and SMA was significantly greater than that following sham stimulation. In contrast, changes in UPDRS-III scores following bilateral rTMS over the DLPFC were not different from those after sham stimulation. No significant changes emerged for either the depression or apathy scores following HF-rTMS over any cortical area. Therefore, application of HF-rTMS over the M1 and SMA significantly improved the motor symptoms in patients with PD but did not improve mood disturbances. Many positive studies report improvement of bradykinesia, but diverge in their efficacy to treat other cardinal symptoms of PD. rTMS improved gait in several [18,19], but not all studies [20]. A few studies have reported finding improvement in tremor symptoms in PD patients who received rTMS. At present, the mechanisms of rTMS in relation to disturbances in motor function and mood in PD remain unclear and thus controversial. A hypoactive caudate nucleus may underlie the motor deficits in PD patients by interfering with the normal functioning of the striato-frontal motor loop. Applying HF-rTMS over the M1 may partially compensate for the underactive basal ganglia-thalamocortical outflow to the frontal motor cortical areas and induce lasting enhancement in cortical excitability, thus leading to clinical improvement. Strafella et al. [21] showed that applying rTMS over the M1 increased dopamine release in the nigrostriatal system. On the other hand, SMA is suggested be important in motor planning and preparatory processes in PD [22]. The studies using positron emission computerized tomography for cortical activation in PD patients with akinesia-predominant Parkinsonism suggested the involvement of hypoactive SMA and dorsal premotor areas [23]. Decreased activity in the SMA was considered to be due to less efferent feedback from the basal ganglia-thalamocortical motor loop A randomized clinical trial reported that HF-rTMS (5 Hz) over the SMA could modestly ameliorate motor symptoms in patients with PD [17]. However, in a subsequent study, the same authors reported long-lasting therapeutic benefits of LF-rTMS (1 Hz) over the SMA, but not of HF-rTMS (10 Hz) over the same area or the realistic sham stimulation [24]. Moreover, a recent subgroup analysis in a metaanalysis study demonstrated that HF-rTMS over the M1 and LF-rTMS over other frontal regions, including the SMA, could have a positive effect [25]. Yokoe et al. [17] demonstrated the positive effect of HFrTMS over the M1 and SMA on motor symptoms in patients with PD [17]. However, there are some limitations of a crossover design, which include carry-over effects and order effects. Unlike single session rTMS, multi-session cumulative rTMS might provide a long-lasting effect in cortical excitability and function [26,27]. The postsynaptic changes and expansion of plasticity might underlie the cumulative long-lasting effect of rTMS [19].
The rationale for non-invasive brain stimulation in clinical practice is to provide additional benefit beyond conventional therapy. Future studies need to explore stimulation parameters with regards to efficacy and safety. In addition, these studies need to identify neurophysiological correlates of clinical outcome measures which will allow for the determination of superior stimulation patterns and therapeutic strategies for the improvement of PD and other disorders.

The Department of Child Services will do anything -- even obtaining a possibly unconstitutional restraining order against a local television station -- to prevent its critics from speaking out.
It is, after all, an election year, and we wouldn't want Jim "Maverick" Payne making the Guv look bad, would we?
A disabled veteran and single father of four, McGaha, 37, said he thinks the court and Department of Child Services are out to get him because he stood up to workers he contends have treated him and his four children unfairly.
After the TV segment aired, Honk For Kids asked the station, WXIN (Channel 59), why McGaha's face had been blurred and was told of the restraining order. That was the first that anyone, including McGaha, had heard about the judge's action.
Gavin Maliska, news director at WXIN, said station officials discussed challenging the order, which was issued the day the segment was to air, but decided McGaha's contributions weren't essential to the story.
"It came down to principle versus practical," he said. "If it would have affected what we were trying to do with the story, we probably would have had a different outcome."
Maliska said the court order was sought by the guardian ad litem who represents McGaha's children in a Child in Need of Services case in Fountain County.
The guardian ad litem, Covington attorney Sue White, did not return calls from The Indianapolis Star, and the court would not release a copy of the order. Bailiff Dianne Cotten said it was part of the confidential records of the CHINS case and could not be made public.
However, a copy obtained by The Star showed that Henderson barred WXIN "from broadcasting any portion of an interview involving Mark McGaha and his minor children until such time as the guardian ad litem and/or court has an opportunity to review" the report.
The order said the injunction was issued to protect the best interests of the children. Karlson said that does not provide the constitutional standard for such an order.

Bank Street College of Education is a private school and graduate school in New York City. It consists of a graduate-only teacher training college[4] and an independent nursery-through-8th-grade school. In 2020 the graduate school had about 65 full-time teaching staff and approximately 850 students, of which 87% were female.[4]
The origins of the school lie in the Bureau of Educational Experiments, which was established in 1916 by Lucy Sprague Mitchell, her husband Wesley Clair Mitchell, and Harriet Merrill Johnson; Lucy Mitchell's cousin Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge provided financial support.[5][6] The bureau was intended to foster research into, and development of, experimental and progressive education, and was influenced by the thinking of Edward Thorndike and John Dewey, both of whom Mitchell had studied with at Columbia University. The bureau was run by a council of twelve members, but Mitchell was its most influential figure until the 1950s.[5] The name of the institution derives from its 1930–1971 location at 69 Bank Street in Greenwich Village.[7]
In 1919 the bureau started a nursery school for children from fifteen to thirty-six months old; Harriet Johnson was the director. The school fed in to the Play School for three- to seven-year-olds run by Caroline Pratt; eight-year-olds were taught in a special class by members of the bureau.[5]
Bank Street College of Education served as an academic consultant during development for Multiplication Rock, the first series of Schoolhouse Rocks![8]
In 1958, the college received a $1,000,000 grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare for a five-year study on how schools for younger children could improve mental health development.[9]
Doug Knecht is the current Dean of Children's Programs and Head of the School for Children.[10]
Academics[edit]
Accreditation[edit]
Since 1960 the school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.[11] Bank Street School for Children is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools.[3]
Head Start[edit]
It is one of about hundred schools in the Manhattan area which participate in the national Head Start Program of the Early Childhood Learning & Knowledge Center of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.[12]
Bank Street School for Children[edit]
The Bank Street School for Children is a private coed preschool, elementary school, and middle school within the Bank Street College of Education.[13][14] The school includes children in nursery through eighth grade,[14] split into three divisions: the lower school, for nursery through first grade; the middle school, for second through fourth grades; and the upper school, for fifth through eighth grades.[15] There are 451 children enrolled as students,[15] approximately 50% of which are students of color.[16] The instructors are often current or past students of Bank Street's graduate school, which shares a campus with the School for Children—including more than half of the teachers who are alumni.[17]
The School for Children is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools.[15][18]
Bank Street Bookstore[edit]
The Bank Street Bookstore was an Upper West Side community bookstore that sold children's books and educational toys and games. It opened in 1970 in the lobby of Bank Street College, and moved to its second location on 112th Street and Broadway shortly thereafter. Its final location was on Broadway and West 107th Street until its closing in August 2020, due to the Coronavirus pandemic.[19] The bookstore also hosted readings, daily story time, and celebrity events, with past guests including Stephen Colbert, Julianne Moore, and author Jeff Kinney.

The Milford Daily News has a follow up conversation with Police Chief Stephen Williams who is scheduled to retire in December:
Williams worked his way through the ranks exclusively in Franklin, an advantage he said he hopes his successor will have.
"It's an advantage for me to be a homegrown boy in that I know the people and the players - knowing what Franklin is, what it has been and what it will be," Williams said.
Williams said his replacement will most importantly have to be connected to and involved with the community, pointing to officers who pay attention to local government decisions, coach school sports, visit senior centers and care about downtown parking problems.
"Those are very key components of having a department that's well-entrenched in the community," Williams said. "The new chief will continue to build those bridges and friendships."

MALCOLM Walker has been consistent. Yes, last December, he sold a £13.5m stake in Iceland, the company he had founded three decades earlier. And yes, Iceland issued a profits warning just one month later - a warning that sent the share price plunging almost 40% from the price at which he had sold.
But no, he insists, he couldn't have guessed when he ordered the share sale that the retailer wouldn't hit profit targets. 'When I sold those shares, I had every reason to believe that we would meet the numbers,' he said later.
That's his story and he's going to stick to it. But secret documents obtained by Financial Mail show that Iceland had grave problems well before Walker told broker Charterhouse to start offloading part of his huge personal stake in the group on December 14.
The confidential memo also shows that Walker and his colleagues were retreating from the company's high-profile commitment to organic produce. And it warned that auditors were unhappy about Iceland's use of 'buy one, get one free' promotions - so-called Bogof deals - to boost apparent sales.
Iceland had been a darling of investors. Its shares, which had dipped below 80p in 1997, had recovered steadily. By early last year, Iceland's sales - and its share price - were storming ahead. And in May, Walker announced that the company he built from a single shop in Oswestry, Shropshire, into a multi-billion pound empire straddling Britain, would merge with cash-and-carry chain Booker. Iceland was on a roll.
Last September, the picture of glowing corporate health was reinforced. Walker, as chairman, told investors that Iceland's 770 shops were going great guns. Underlying sales in the six months to June had risen 6%. And in the nine weeks to early September, the increase was 4.5%. Everything looked fine.
That trading statement - on 5 September - was the last piece of firm information about the group's performance for four months. Yes, there was other news: Stuart Rose, previously heading Booker, had become chief executive of the merged group but quit in mid-November to join Burton-to-Top Shop group Arcadia.
His successor, Bill Grimsey from DIY operator Wickes, was announced a month later. But there were no figures about trading. And on 13 December, City analysts were being wined and dined at Iceland's head offices on Deeside. Iceland was 'positive on the group's prospects,' they were told.
There was absolutely no hint that sales were anything but healthy. Analysts came away happy that their forecasts - profits of £130m or more for the 15 months to the following March - looked safe.
Even after news emerged a few days later that Walker had sold roughly half his stake in the company with the shares riding high at 339p, there was scarcely a ripple. The City had no inkling that anything was amiss.

Angel Plate Ministry feeds bodies and souls
by The Press and Standard | May 5, 2018 12:00 pm
Last Updated: May 4, 2018 at 11:37 am
The meal delivery program, based out of Cottageville United Methodist Church, "is not only feeding our community with homemade, healthy food, it's feeding our community with love, hope [and] fellowship by God's grace," founder Gena Reeves said.
The nonprofit ministry is not Meals on Wheels, but Reeves has consulted with Charleston Meals on Wheels officials, registered dietitians, social workers and other church leaders for advice on launching the program.
Angel Plate was started after Reeves and her husband, Ronnie, prayed about how to feed the community with food and fellowship. They took the idea of cooking and delivering meals to CUMC Pastor Leo Roy, "who jumped at it," Reeves said.
Meal recipients don't have to be low-income: Anyone is eligible, no questions asked. Meals are delivered to shut-ins, veterans, the sick, widows/widowers, the elderly, those recovering from surgery or childbirth, caregivers, families or anyone who is lonely or needs encouragement. To be placed on the delivery list, call Reeves at 843-599-8585, the church at 843-835-2611, or Benita Free at 843-908-1219.
"It's not about charity or because you're too poor to buy food," Reeves said. "We're just saying, 'Here, take a night off from cooking.' It's about fellowship and reaching out to our community, letting them know that we are here and that we love them."
Last week the ministry served 57 meals. "When we take a meal to anyone's house, everyone there receives a meal also," Reeves explained. "And we always carry extras, in case someone has company or the kids have a friend over."
The meals are free– they cost about $2.75 per person to produce–and there are no geographical limits to delivery. Angel Plate Ministry is currently "self-funded," Reeves said, "but we are trusting God to provide for us each week."
Reeves came up with the idea of placing a bookmark with a Bible verse in every meal bag, "to serve as a little encouragement when maybe the person feels like there isn't any."
The Reeveses, Pastor Roy, Benita Free and her husband Richard cook the meals in the church's dining hall each Tuesday afternoon, then package and deliver between 5 p.m.-6:30 p.m.
No meals are left on porches or outside homes. "We're committed to serving nutritious, healthy food of the highest quality. It is handled with extreme care and safety. And each person receives a safety checklist, plus handling and heating instructions," Reeves said.
Meals—they include protein, starch, vegetable, dessert and water–are delivered in portioned trays that are microwaveable and freezer/dishwasher-safe, so recipients can keep them for personal use.
Typical meals might be pork loin, wild rice, green beans, macaroni and cheese, dinner roll, brownie and bottled water, or meat loaf, mashed potatoes, lima beans, bread, strawberry cake and water.
"It's so much more than just handing someone a plate of food. It's showing people there is someone who cares, and that they are not alone. This is all about sharing God's love, letting people know that not only are we here and we love them, but that God is also here and He loves them," she said.
Reeves is working to set up a nonprofit account at Enterprise Bank for donations. Until that's finalized, donors may contribute by sending a check for Angel Plate Ministry to Cottageville UMC, 44 Peirce Road, Cottageville, S.C. 29485. Or, call the Reeveses, the Frees or the church for pickup of any donations, from food and water to funds.

If you see the words "Lupita Nyong'o" and "Met Gala" in a headline, you can probably guess that the accompanying article will contain images of Lupita Nyong'o looking really, really good at the Met Gala — so let's just cut to the chase and talk about this stunning peach, Old Hollywood-esque, off-the-shoulder masterpiece that Lupita Nyong'o is wearing at the Met Gala, and how she looks really, really good PERFECT.
In a striking Prada gown adorned with a feathered bust, Lupita is basically a bright orange goddess with purple eye shadow floating across the red carpet.
Twitter can confirm the Oscar-winning actress's otherworldly superiority.
Let's get a closer look at the tulle garden around this ~angel's~ shoulders.
Also, those bright gems dangling from her ears are a perfect accessory.
The skirt's fabric has so much movement, with a small, filmy train following behind.
Instead of listening to me continuing to talk about how Lupita Nyong'o looks really, really good, let's refer to the Twitterverse once again.
I'm pretty sure that anything Lupita wears will look like it was made for her.
Thank you for blessing us with your beauty, talent, wit, and flawless fashion sense, Lupita!


For non-fish eaters, smell of fish is disgusting. For non-bread eaters, smell of bread makes them feel sick.
But how and why some smell is more acceptable than others. What is the measurement of the good smell and bad smell?
To protect your hair from absorbing the smell of the food, wear a cap. Any cap will work-even a shower cap. If you are conscious of appearance, you can wear a nicer looking cap. But keep this designated for the kitchen, since it will have absorbed the smell of whatever it is that you are cooking. Keep your clothes smelling fresh by separate a set of clothes for the kitchen. If you cook, and wear the same clothes out of the house, you will most likely be carrying the smell on you, without even realizing it. The only way to freshen your cooking clothes is to wash them.
Perfume will not help. It's like putting perfume on wet stinky cloth after gym. It will create a mix of smells that may not be pleasant. For your house, close the bedroom doors and closets before you begin cooking. If your house has a carpet, it will most likely be absorbing the smell. It is not possible to avoid this. The best you can do is to open the windows and allow fresh air to ventilate the room. This minimizes the smell absorbed and helps keep the room as fresh as possible. So opening the doors and windows for fresh air is important and really helpful.
If it is too cold, open the outside doors and windows as soon as you are done cooking, and head to another room. Keep it open for a couple of hours to make sure the room has fresh air. Then close the doors and windows and turn on the heating. Remember to keep the heating off while cooking-the heating helps the fabric in the room absorb the smell. Frying is the worst-the smell lasts way longer and just sits in the house. For this reason, you should avoid frying during winter, since you cannot open the doors and windows to ventilate the house.
The question returns to me. Why I, myself, give the privilege to other's desire smell over or owns?


Abstract : Researchers have considered individual and organizational factors of ethical decision making. However, they have little interest in situational factors (McClaren, Journal of Business Ethics 112(1):101–125, 2013) which is surprising given the many situations sales persons face. We address this issue using two pilot qualitative studies successively and a 2 by 2 within-subject experiment with sales scenarios. Qualitative and quantitative data are obtained from front-line employees of the main French retail banks that serve low-income customers. We show that the recognition of an ethical issue differs depending on the role behavior salespersons are engaged in and the nature of the conflict of interest they face. Moreover, the combined effect of these two situational characteristics is mediated by moral intensity. This study not only adds evidence on situational factors affecting ethical decision but also extends empirical research on sales ethics by revealing sales situations that are not considered in the empirical literature. The research implications of the findings are discussed along with the study's limitations and suggestions for future research.

2019 is just around the corner and it's time to present a new edition of the Marathon Cup, one of the most recognized and successful bike marathon competitions in our territory. It premiered on the calendar in 2006 and has been a benchmark in mid-distance events since then. His philosophy hasn't changed: offer attractive routes to have leading but is accessible for bikers who are starting in this sport. The routes have been improved to make them more fun for all its participants.
After years of competing as a national championship, in 2019 the Marathon Cup BTT takes the international leap and two of its tests will be registered in the UCI calendar, within the UCI Marathon Series, the reference stamp within this type of tests. With this there will be new advantages for bikers. From the distribution of points for the world rankings to the organization guarantee offered by an UCI test, without forgetting the arrival of the cash prizes to these points.
Each of the 5 tests that make up the championship has two different route options. An environment of 65 kilometers, for those who want to spend more time on the saddle, and another of 35 kilometers, ideal to get into the world of mountain bike tests gradually. The participation of junior category bikers will be allowed on the short route.
In addition, two different categories are proposed in both routes. The Pro, destined to the pure and hard competition, and the Open, for those who prefer to forget the pressure of the chronometer. The Open category allows the participation with cyclotourist license or one day license. In total, 4 different participation options so that everyone can have their space within the Marathon Cup.


Are you confused about how to set the table with flatware, plates and glasses? Look no further! Three types of settings are described below. Normally you would have only one or two glasses per place setting and wait for dessert before putting out coffee cups or mugs.
The main plate is at the center, with the knife on the right, the cutting edge facing the plate, followed to the right of that with a spoon.
To the left of the plate is the fork, and to the left of that the napkin. The napkin can also be placed on the plate.
An option is a bread plate, much smaller than the main plate, placed above the fork, with the bread and butter knife on top at a sight angle, with the cutting edge facing the napkin and the handle on the right.
Above the knife is the water glass. This can be changed at an informal setting so that it is on the side of the "handedness" of the person. A right-handed person would have the glass above the knife, and a left-handed person would have the glass above the fork.
You can use a "code" to remember how to set this up: F-O-R-K-S: from left to right: F for fork, "O" for the shape of the plate, R (not a real item), K for knife, and S for spoon. For the other two items, form a small letter "b" with the fingers of your left hand, for the bread and butter plate, and form a small letter "d" with the fingers of your right hand for the drinks.
A three-course dinner would include soup, salad or first course, entree, and dessert.
The dinner plate would be at the center, with the napkin folded or in a napkin ring on the plate or to the left of the forks, or sometimes under the forks, folded.
The flatware is placed so that the first used is to the outside. Thus, with the forks on the left, the appetizer or salad fork is to the left of the larger, main course fork, if the salad is served before the main course. The knife is placed as in the basic setting. If the main course has meat, the knife can be replaced with a steak knife. For the spoons, to the right of the knife, if soup is served, a larger soup spoon would go on the outside, farther from the knife, with a teaspoon or dessert spoon to the left, between the knife and soup spoon. Drinking glasses are above the knife and spoons.
Only three of any type of utensil is on the table at any time unless the oyster fork is used. Before dessert is served, if there are more than three courses served, the utensils for the dessert are brought in with the dessert plate, before dessert is served.
With a multi-course meal, the appetizer could be shellfish, with the first course fruit or soup, followed by a fish course, the entree, and a salad. A large plate, or charger (optional) would be in place for under the first course meal plate when it is brought to the table. The charger remains for several courses while the other plates are removed and exchanged for the next course. The napkin would be on top of the charger or where the main plate would go.
Utensils are set out only if that dish is served. If there is no fish course, you wouldn't set out a fish fork. Starting from left to right, remembering first used is the farthest from the plate: Forks: fish, dinner, salad, followed by the charger/plate, and then knife and spoons: dinner knife, fish knife, soup or fruit spoon, if either is served as a first course, and oyster fork, if oysters are served, and it is the only fork to the right of the plate. The bread plate and knife same as in the basic setting.
Glasses: Up to five glasses are placed above the knives, with the water glass directly above the knife. To the right of the water glass is the champagne glass. To the right, or in front of the these are the red or white wine glass and a sherry glass.

Despite a record third quarter delivery, the world's largest global renewable energy development company, SunEdison, saw its stocks plummet 22%.
SunEdison has been under intense pressure over the last six months to perform across all metrics, a task that shareholders do not believe the company is living up to. In its third quarter financial earnings announcement, SunEdison revealed that it had delivered 640 MW through the quarter, smashing its own previous guidance of delivery between 540 MW to 600 MW. This puts the company up 343 MW year-over-year, with another 2.9 GW of projects under construction, and a pipeline of 7.9 GW and backlog of 5.5 GW.
The company brought in revenue of $476 million for the quarter, including reported adjusted revenue of $153 million from their widely publicized yieldco, TerraForm Power, and reported revenue of $29 million from the company's newest yieldco, TerraForm Global.
However, despite relatively decent performance across the board from the company — and only slight losses for its two yieldcos — SunEdison also reported a loss of $0.92 per share — originally forecast to be only $0.60 per share — which subsequently managed to scare investors enough to cause the stock price to plummet.
SunEdison's shares have been on a months-long downward-trend, after second quarter earnings which reported a net loss of $263 million that sent investors scurrying for safety — despite the confusion of many analysts. Investor reaction has forced SunEdison to refocus their attentions from acquiring capacity and equity, and to begin building up revenue. SunEdison announced that it would form a new $1 billion warehouse investment vehicle that it hoped would be the first sign it was turning their ship around, followed last month by the decision to lay off 15% of its work-force.
The long-term gains of SunEdison's original acquisition-phase would have been of long-term benefit to investors, but short-term gains seem to be the order of business. The most telling factor will be the reaction over the next several months, and in particular, following the company's fourth quarter and full-year 2015 earnings report due early next year.
In advance of Veterans Day, the non-profit solar installer GRID Alternatives has announced a hookup with Wells Fargo to kick off "Troops to Solar," a three-year program aimed at training more than 1,000 military veterans for jobs in the burgeoning solar industry. The program will also train service men and women who are still on active duty, which will help foster a seamless transition to employment once they return to civilian life.
So…it doesn't seem like those 35 permanent jobs promised by the Keystone XL oil pipeline project will be missed.
As the US Department of Defense ramps up its transition to renewable energy, more servicemen and -women are becoming exposed to solar power. That includes both utility scale solar and rooftop solar for housing and other facilities at permanent military bases, solar canopies and solar-enabled microgrids for forward bases, and even portable solar gear to carry into the field.
As an industry, we are completely committed to hiring more veterans. Today, America's solar energy companies already employ twice as many veterans as the average U.S. business. We hire veterans because they come trained, ready and passionate. The solar industry is filled with people who are motivated to build our economy, improve our environment and strengthen our national security.
…Solar, like the military, is not just about the paycheck; it is also about working for something larger than oneself.
Last spring SEIA locked arms with First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden in support of Joining Forces, an initiative aimed at rallying support for US service members and veterans, with a commitment to fill 50,000 solar jobs with veterans by 2020.
That initiative includes on-base solar job training for active duty service members under an Energy Department pilot project that just graduated its first class earlier this year at Camp Pendleton.
With its goal of 1,000 trained solar workers, the new GRID Alternatives Troops to Solar program will take a nice little bite out of the 50,000 mark.
The three-year program, funded by a $750,000 grant from Wells Fargo, will provide placement services leveraging Grid Alternatives's existing network services as well as solar job training and solar job training.
As part of Troops to Solar, GRID Alternatives is launching a new focus on Native American veterans and "high-need" communities on tribal reservations.
Wells Fargo notes that it is a longtime partner of GRID Alternatives, having invested more than $3.8 million (including the latest grant) since 2007. The funding has gone to GRID Alternatives' twin goals of installing solar systems for low-income households, including veterans, while also training veterans for solar jobs.
GRID Alternatives is America's largest non-profit solar installer bringing clean energy technology and job training to low-income families and underserved communities through a network of community partners, volunteers, and philanthropic supporters. GRID has installed nearly 6000 rooftop solar systems with a combined installed capacity of over 20MW, saving $155 million in lifetime electricity costs, preventing 450,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and providing over 22,000 people with solar training.
GRID Alternatives works all over the country, with a solar project in Baltimore being one recent example, and this year it also formed a powerful solar jobs training partnership with industry leader SunEdison.
Tar sands oil is remarkably expensive to cultivate…Oil is currently trading at less than $50 a barrel and there's increasing speculation that the stuff will remain cheap for a long time to come. The plunge in oil prices is already affecting tar sands production: Earlier this year, Shell cancelled plans for a major investment in the tar sands. Nor are they the only ones calling off future development. The plunge in oil prices and fall-off in investment means that Keystone simply no longer makes economic sense.
We're thinking that all of those pipeline jobs "lost" over Keystone will be made up by the renewable energy industry, and then some. SEIA's commitment alone tops the 42,000 temporary construction jobs promised by TransCanada for building Keystone XL, and the Joining Forces initiative is backed up by other Obama Administration solar jobs initiatives.
However, take a look at one of our favorite news blogs — FuelFix.com — and you'll notice that those zombie oil and gas pipeline jobs could very well spring to life in eastern states, so stay tuned.

SunEdison has completed the construction of New Hampshire's largest solar power plant, a 942 KW project located in the town of Peterborough.
The world's largest renewable energy development company made the announcement last Friday upon completion of the 942 kilowatt DC solar power plant, which will now generate solar power for the town over the next 20 years, and save local taxpayers an estimated $250,000 on energy. Specifically, the solar system will generate more than 100% of the town's waste-water treatment facility's electricity needs, and offset electricity at other municipal buildings.
"The town of Peterborough welcomes the new solar power plant, which is a part of our plan to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions while generating energy savings," said Rodney Bartlett, Peterborough's town administrator.
"The town of Peterborough is blazing the trail for more renewable energy projects in New Hampshire," added Tom Leyden, SunEdison's vice president of partner development.
The Peterborough solar power plant is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 17 million pounds over the 20-year period the project is estimated to run for, which is approximately the same as sequestering carbon dioxide in more than 6,300 acres of US forest in one year.
Despite a skittish Q2'15 earnings report that saw the company's shares plummet as a result of fears it was overstretching, SunEdison has continued to develop and invest in the renewable energy sector around the globe.
SunEdison was one of several winners in Brazil's Leilão de Reserva solar auction held at the end of August, taking away 16 MW. And earlier this month, SunEdison announced that it had secured an entire 500 MW-worth auction in India, by setting a new Indian record for lowest tariff bid for solar PV.
SunEdison has revealed that it will be providing advanced energy storage systems to a net-zero pilot project in California.
SunEdison, the world's largest renewable energy development company, announced last week that it will be supplying advanced battery systems to a net-zero energy homes pilot project being developed in Fontana, California. The project is being led by Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), with the support of the California Public Utilities Commission, with lead project partners Meritage Homes and local utility Southern California Edison.
The Electric Power Research Institute is leading the project in an effort to determine the impact on the local electricity grid of net-zero energy homes that generate and store their own energy.
SunEdison and partner Aboitiz Power have taken a major step towards fulfilling their target to add 300 MW of solar power capacity in the Philippines.
SunEdison and Aboitiz Power have selected China's Nari Group to set up a 59 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant located in Negros Occidental. The project would be one of the largest projects of its kind when it become operational in Q1 2016.
A subsidiary of Aboitiz Power, Aboitiz Renewables, and SunEdison Philippines Helios BV formed a joint venture company to set up solar power projects in the southeast Asian country. The joint venture – Maaraw Holdings San Carlos – will invest around $75 million in the project.
Aboitiz Power owns a 60% stake in the joint venture, while the balance is owned by SunEdison Philippines Helios BV.
The two companies announced last year that they would collaborate on setting up 300 MW of solar capacity in the country.
The Philippine government had earlier announced a plan to have over 15 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 to meet half of the country's total electricity demand. The government has launched a number of programs to achieve this target. A new feed-in tariff regime was introduced which offered attractive tariffs for hydro, biomass, wind, and solar power projects.
Over the last few months, the Philippine renewable energy sector has seen increased activity with domestic as well as international investors and companies rushing to make investments.
In June, real estate developer Gregorio Araneta announced that it will set up a 100 MW solar PV power plant in Cadiz city, at an estimated investment of $175 million. First Solar signed an agreement with OrionGroup to set up a joint venture company, FSO Energy Solutions, which will set up large-scale solar power projects to cater to the power demand of commercial and industrial entities in Philippines.
The results of Brazil's huge Leilão de Reserva solar auction held at the end of August have been trickling in slowly, and now the full list of winners has been revealed.
We had already seen that Enel Green Power was the biggest winner, walking away with three separate projects totalling 553 MW. Canadian Solar also did fairly well, with five separate projects totalling 185 MW.
Reports were also floated that Russian energy company Renova had also acquired some measure of success in the auction, but this appears to have been proven incorrect.
In total, the Brazilian government handed out capacity contracts totalling 834 MW at an average price of 301.79 Real per megawatt-hour, or around US$0.0842/kWh — which was around 13.5% below the maximum price set for the auction.
SunEdison has announced it will partner with Dominion to create a joint venture around the 420 MW Four Brothers solar project in Utah.
The project is currently being developed and constructed by SunEdison, and is expected to become fully operational by mid-2016. Under the terms of the joint venture between SunEdison and Dominion, Dominion will invest approximately $500 million to acquire 50% of the cash equity of the Four Brothers project, and 99% of the tax equity, including funding of construction. SunEdison will contribute the remainder of the capital requited to complete the project, which it had already fully financed through a $150 million, four-year term loan with Deutsche Bank.
"We are very pleased to establish a great strategic partnership with Dominion, one of the nation's largest and most innovative producers of energy in jointly owning the Four Brother project," said Paul Gaynor, executive vice president of SunEdison EMEA & Americas.
The Four Brothers project is already contracted under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement for 20 years with PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy. Upon completion, the project is expected to produce the equivalent of enough electricity to power more than 90,000 local homes, and has already provided an estimated 500 construction jobs within the rural communities of Beaver and Iron Counties.
