POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Poughkeepsie High School Principal Phee Simpson has been suspended through the remainder of the school year.
The school board voted to suspend Simpson at a meeting Monday. She will be paid during her suspension. Ronald Jackson, Dean of Students, was appointed acting executive principal.
No reason was given for Simpson's suspension. Simpson has been principal since 2013 and previously served as principal of Poughkeepsie Middle School.
Recently, Poughkeepsie City School District Superintendent Nicole Williams filed a notice of claim against the school board for $1 million, citing "emotional distress."

The Moscow electrobuss since launch have transported 125 thousand passengers. At the same time the passenger traffic grows in innovative transport — if in September every day 3 thousand people used new transport on average, then now on weekdays days the passenger traffic has grown to 4 thousand. Since October 1 in electrobuss the uniform tariff menu of the Moscow transport and all privileges has begun to work, have reported to Lenta.ru in Moscow Department of Transport. The department has noted that electrobuss work at a route number 73 from ENEA to the sixth Residential district of Bibirevo. It is expected that until the end of the year new transport will come to five routes, delivery in total of 100 buses on electric draft is planned by this time. New transport to the capital is delivered by the largest Russian producers — KAMAZ and GAZ. Each of them until the end of March, 2019 will put 100 electrobuss and 31 charging station. Under the terms of service contracts, producers provide full functionality of the rolling stock and charging infrastructure within 15 years. In December, 2018 one more lot on 100 electrobuss for Moscow will be played. Till 2021 about 300 electrobuss annually are planned to buy, further Moscow will refuse purchase of diesel buses and will get only electric transport. The Moscow electrobus accomodates 85 passengers, has 30 places for sitting. Low level of a floor, existence of a ramp (ramp) and the accumulative platform provide high comfort for all passengers, including handicapped. The salon is equipped with the systems of climate control, USB sockets for charging of mobile devices, information media screens and free Wi-Fi. Transport is loaded at terminal stations of routes. For this purpose in Moscow create network of ultrafast charging stations — replenishment of energy takes from 6 to 24 minutes depending on battery charge level. Electrobus course stock — more than 40 kilometers.

First Egyptian TV announcer with Down Syndrome
18 December, 2018 - (4:31 PM)
Michael Girgis
The 22-year-old swimmer, athlete, tennis table champion and basketball player Rahma Khaled, is now the first female broadcaster to appear on screens in Egypt and the Arab World despite her Down's Syndrome.
Khaled is now among the crew of "8 am" programme broadcasted on DMC satellite channel every Thursday at 8 am.
Khaled, who long dreamt of becoming a famous announcer, fought to achieve her dream over the past few years and succeeded to achieve it for 24 hours when the UAE's al-Ghad TV channel invited her to appear as an announcer on the occasion of celebrating persons with disability day.
Amal al-Utaifi, Rahma's mother, explained that her daughter was preparing to become an announcer since last year. She took courses on radio for a month and a half; and presents the news once a month on a news website.
Rami Radwan of "8 am" said he was happy to have Rahma Khaled, the first announcer with Down Syndrome, on the "8 am" radio show on DMC. "We chose her and she chose us," said Radwan.
"Rahma is a determined young woman," Radwan said. "She has energy, enthusiasm and positivity. Her smile lights up the whole world,"
Khaled said "I am very happy, especially because this is my first appearance as an announcer."

You can only submit one article every 60 days.
We know a lot of you have many more great articles, and we will get to them in time, but we want to make sure our Curators aren't overwhelmed with submissions and have enough time for the rest of their work. If we find that our Curators are able to get through these articles more quickly than anticipated, we may shorten the submission time frame, but for now, think of it as a way to give your very favorite articles some preference for selection. You may want to consider submitting your highest-quality and lowest-traffic articles first—lower-traffic articles are likely to be further down in our selection queue.
You must certify that your article meets the guidelines.
Since submissions are still extremely limited, we want to make sure Hubbers are making the most of the ability to submit articles for consideration. When you submit an article, you will be asked to certify that it obeys a number of required guidelines for consideration. We recommend thoroughly reviewing your article for these issues and to make any updates you think are needed before submitting.
You must choose the best HubPages Network Site for your article.
As part of the submission process, you will be asked to select the site you think would make the most appropriate home for your article. Please familiarize yourself with the HubPages Network Sites and their subject matter before submitting. You can see a full list of the sites in our announcement post.
If you're ready to submit your first article for consideration, simply visit the live article and click the "submit to a HubPages Network Site" button in the black bar above your article's title. This will begin the submission process.
Click the check box that certifies that your article follows the guidelines for link inclusion and then click the "Go to the Next Step" button.
Check the box for all the following certifications (after making sure your article does indeed meet the requirements) and click the "Go to the Next Step" button.
Your submission will not be finalized until you click "Submit My Article," so feel free to close out of the submission window to make further edits if you decide it's necessary. Your one submission per 60 days will only be used up once the "Submit My Article" button has been clicked.
A Curator will email you requesting changes to your article.
Our Curators sometimes find themselves passing up otherwise good articles that have small, easily-fixed issues. For this reason, we have provided a way for Curators to email Hubbers and request specific changes. Going forward, you may receive an email from one of our Curators with such a request.
If you receive one of these emails, the first step toward having your article reconsidered is to make the requested changes. Be sure you follow all the Curator's advice before submitting. Articles that are submitted without the requested changes will not be considered for inclusion.
Submit your article via the article submission interface explained above.
Once you have made the requested changes, use the article submission option by following the steps outlined above. Submitting an article with changes a Curator has requested will not use up your 1 submission per 60 days, so doing so will not remove your ability to submit an article of your own choosing as well.
Thanks for helping us with this process of preparing and selecting articles, and Happy Hubbing!
Good work team. I like this.
So if I understand correctly, if I submit an article which is accepted then I can submit another before the 60 days are up? Kinda confusing the way the blog's worded. Can you clarify a bit?
No, we will only be allowing one submission per 60 days currently regardless of whether your Hub is accepted or not. However, if one of our curators comes across one of your Hubs in the course of selecting from the backlog and requests changes from you, you will be permitted to submit that Hub in addition to one of your choosing. Does that make sense?
Now it quite clear. Otherwise, it's been a bit messed up in the blog post. It seemed to mean that when you submit one hub for a niche site, the curator will be calling you to make certain changes and you submit it after making those corrections. Thereafter, you can submit one more hub for being included in another niche site (perhaps without passing through the curator's hands). That was it's purported meaning.
Now, you have removed all these ambiguities. Thanks for it, Christy.
Where can I find HubPages Guidelines.
This is a good idea. Kudos to you guys.
So, after a/an hub/article has been officially approved by the curators, can it still be edited?
Just like editing a hub on Hubpages after it has been featured.
Yes, that is the case. You will still be able to update and improve your Hubs once they have been moved.
Wait a minute, "MOVED!" You mean the hubs will be moved (removed) from Hubpages after sharing it with an external website?
These articles are move to one of the subject-specific HubPages Network Sites.
I submitted a hub and changed my mind and want to submit something different. Is there a way to cancel the one I asked for and submit another? Just wondering.
Once you get the message that your Hub has been submitted there is no longer a way to halt the process, though you can close out of the submission window any time before that and your article will not be submitted.

Cet article présente la discographie du groupe de hard rock britannique Def Leppard. Le groupe a enregistré douze albums studios, quatre albums live, cinq compilations  et trente neuf singles.

Présentation

La première réalisation discographique de Def Leppard fut l'Ep intitulé The Def Leppard Ep. À l'époque le groupe était constitué de Joe Elliott (chant), Pete Willis et Steve Clark (guitares) et Rick Savage (basse), le batteur Frank Noon était un musicien de session. Rick Allen, alors âgé de quinze ans, rejoignit le groupe fin 1978 et deviendra le batteur définitif du groupe. Le premier album On Through the Night sortira en mars 1980 en pleine vague de la New wave of British heavy metal et se classa à la quinzième place des charts britanniques. High 'n' Dry, le deuxième album, sortit en juillet 1981 et bénéficia de la production de Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Le groupe commença à percer sur le marché nord-américain, l'album se classant à la  du Billboard 200.

Le troisième album Pyromania marqua un changement dans la musique du groupe qui délaissa les racines du hard rock pour se tourner vers un hard rock mélodique plus accessible pour les radios. En outre le guitariste Pete Willis fut viré du groupe pour ses problèmes avec l'alcool, mais joue quand même sur la quasi-totalité de l'album. Son remplaçant, Phil Collen, rajouta les dernières partie rythmiques manquantes avant la sortie de l'album. Le succès fut foudroyant en Amérique du Nord, l'album se classant à la  aux États-Unis et à la  des charts canadiens. Il sera respectivement certifié album de diamant ( d'exemplaires vendus) et septuple album de platine ( vendus) dans ces deux pays.

Hysteria sorti en 1987 sera l'album de tous les records de ventes du groupe. Il se classa notamment à la première place des charts britanniques, canadiens et américains se vendant respectivement à ,  et  dans ces trois pays. Il sera le premier album du groupe à se classer en France (). Début 1991, le guitariste, Steve Clark décède et le groupe décide d'enregistrer son prochain album à quatre. Ce dernier, Adrenalize, sortira en mars 1992 et le guitariste Vivian Campbell viendra compléter le groupe. Le succès sera de nouveau au rendez-vous, il sera classé numéro un aux USA, au Royaume-Uni, en Australie et au Canada notamment, mais les ventes seront moindre que les deux précédents albums. En France il se classa à la  et sera récompensé par un disque d'or ( vendus).

À partir de la compilation Retro Active (1993), le succès et les ventes d'album diminuent, Euphoria sorti en 1999, sera le dernier album studio à obtenir un disque d'or aux USA. Il faudra attendre 2011 pour voir la sortie de Mirror Ball – Live & More premier album du groupe enregistré en public.

En résumé, Def Leppard aura à ce jour vendu plus de  à travers le monde.

It is always good for farmers to go into a growing season with moist ground and full aquifers, although the icy lashing we had over the past week gave the impression that winter was back with a vengeance. However, the weather system was con- sidered by WeatherWatch.co.nz to be a clas- sic spring storm and not a sign that winter weather is returning. We are midway through September and lambing is in full swing with some farmers already started in late August and many further inland in Canterbury still to begin. August was pretty wet, with many farm- ers averaging more than 300mm of rain and higher levels in the hill country. Winter generally was a wet one (not seen since 1986 it is said), and it seems things are set up for a good growing season, although the recent cold spell with some snow shows that winter is still wagging its tail. Spring weather forecasts signal average or below average rainfall however. Farmers will be looking to put weight on their new arrivals quickly because lamb prices are down and they hope the meat companies will need heavier lambs. Last year was an excellent growing season and let s hope this promising start will her- ald another one. Federated Farmers South Canterbury meat & fibre chairman Neil Campbell said grass growth in Fairlie, where he farmed, would be one week to 10 days ahead of last spring. "Paddocks were drier than two weeks ago. Winter rainfall was fine, but the best rain was during the growing months," he said. Niwa s seasonal outlook predicts near, or below, normal rainfall, soil moisture and river flows in the South Island below Marlborough. A short-lived El Nino weather pattern is predicted, but westerlies are expected to be weaker than normal from September to November.

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Brett Favre doesn't care if Tim Couch comes to Green Bay. Favre may not have to.
Couch, who has been talking to the Packers, was given permission Thursday by the Cleveland Browns to talk to another NFC North team, the Chicago Bears in hopes of pulling off a trade.
Browns spokesman Todd Stewart said Bears general manager Jerry Angelo contacted Cleveland coach Butch Davis on Wednesday.
Chicago's interest comes just days after the club drafted Ohio State's Craig Krenzel in the fifth round. Rex Grossman, a first-round pick last season, is the Bears' projected starter with Jonathan Quinn backing him up.
The Packers have been negotiating with agent Tom Condon for weeks in an attempt to get Couch, but have so far been unable to reach an agreement. Green Bay wants Couch, a former No. 1 overall draft choice, to back up starter Favre.
Couch would sit in Green Bay, but he could come in and win the Bears' starting job in training camp.
Favre, meanwhile, said he is not worried.
The Packers' QB has started 208 straight games, a record for an NFL quarterback.
"I've never been concerned about who would play if I got hurt, because I don't anticipate that happening," Favre said. "I realize that at some point someone else will be the starting quarterback for this team, but I haven't put much thought into it."
The Packers have.
Although they hope Favre can play at least two more years, they realize he's 34 and entering his 14th NFL season, and they would like to start grooming his successor as soon as they can.
They failed to land a quarterback in the draft last weekend, however, and with the Couch negotiations stalled, they re-signed Doug Pederson, who took most of the snaps at minicamp Wednesday.
The Cleveland Browns are trying to trade Couch, the top draft pick in 1999, who became expendable with the signing of Jeff Garcia.
The Packers are trying to rework the final two years of Couch's deal, which call for him to make $15.6 million.

The Lua language seems likely to play an increasing role in the SAS world, alongside Python and Java. It was originally introduced by SAS developers to provide an alternative to the SAS Macro Language for large projects. Since SAS 9.4 M3, Lua has been available in Base SAS in the form of Proc LUA, which enables Lua code to be embedded within SAS programs. It also enables SAS code to be embedded within Lua code.
This is quite neat, in its way. The call to SET arranges that, for each subsequent FETCHOBS, a macro variable is automatically created containing the value of each variable in the current observation of the control table. In this case, there are just two such macro variables, &N and &FNAM. All that we are doing with those macro variables here is issuing a %PUT statement to write their values to the log but, in a typical application, more SAS code would be added at this point to analyse the data set, output results, and so on.
A newcomer to SAS would find this code quite advanced and a little mysterious. (Why, for example, does that call to SET not need an ampersand before DSID?) And the code has to be defined as a macro, here called DOITALL, which is then invoked.
Proc LUA offers an exotic alternative (exotic since the Lua language comes from Brazil – its name is the Portuguese word for "moon"). But the Lua code is perhaps more logically structured, and easier to understand.
This is basically SAS code, except that everything between the SUBMIT and ENDSUBMIT statements is Lua code, except that everything between "[[" and "]]" is SAS code!
In the Lua syntax (in which names are case-sensitive), "sas" is a "special global table" which enables most SAS functions to be called, including the OPEN function, which returns a data set ID, just as it did in the macro code version earlier.
Notice that Lua comments are introduced by two hyphens "—" and continue to the end of the line. Lua statements can be terminated by ";" or not, according to taste.
The FOR line here is a neat piece of syntax, which uses a Lua-specific SAS function called ROWS to create a Lua table which we have called "row". On each iteration of the DO loop, this table will contain the values of the variables in the current record, which can be referenced as (in this case) "row.n" and "row.fnam".
The Lua PRINT statement prints these values, using the Lua concatenation operator "..".
The "sas.submit" call enables SAS code to be submitted from within Lua code. The "@" sign is the substitution operator, which has to bracket the name of the Lua local variable whose value is to be substituted into the SAS code. Unfortunately row.n and row.fnam are not local variables, so we create local variables called row_n and row_fnam which contain the same values. The %PUT statement here is a SAS statement, with the values of two Lua local variables substituted in; it is followed by a SAS comment. The output from this %PUT statement will appear in the log, and will be identical with that from the Lua PRINT statement. Thanks to the call to sas.set_quiet earlier in the step, the %PUT statement itself will not be written to the log.
The syntax of this Proc LUA step may be unfamiliar, but compared with the original macro code, it is easier to see what is going on, and perhaps harder to make syntax errors. And statements are executed in a more obvious order.
The Lua language could be worth getting to know, and using more than once in a blue moon.

Q: How to load nested json into GoJS Regrouping in JavaScript? I am trying to convert my json to the GoJs regrouping but I am having difficulties.
The regrouping example is as follows: https://gojs.net/latest/samples/regrouping.html
I am using a recursive function in which I am checking all the elements of json but when converting it to graphics in GoJS it is being interpreted in a limited way dynamic. As you can see:
function navigate() {

    var traverse = function(obj, fn) {
        for (var key in obj) {
            fn.apply(this,[key ,obj[key]]);
            if (obj[key] !== null && typeof(obj[key]) == "object") {
                traverse(obj[key], fn);
            }
        }
    }

My json is:
{
    "breakfast_menu": {
        "food": [
            {
                "name": "Strawberry Belgian Waffles",
                "price": "$7.95",
                "description": "Light Belgian waffles covered with strawberries and whipped cream",
                "calories": 900
            },
            {
                "name": "Berry-Berry Belgian Waffles",
                "price": "$8.95",
                "description": "Light Belgian waffles covered with an assortment of fresh berries and whipped cream",
                "calories": 900
            },
            {
                "name": "French Toast",
                "price": "$4.50",
                "description": "Thick slices made from our homemade sourdough bread",
                "calories": 600
            },
            {
                "name": "Homestyle Breakfast",
                "price": "$6.95",
                "description": "Two eggs, bacon or sausage, toast, and our ever-popular hash browns",
                "calories": 950
            }
        ]
    }
}

A: Here's a complete demo:
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <title>Nested Groups from tree-structured JSON</title>

  <textarea id="mySavedModel" style="width:100%;height:250px"></textarea>

Without even bothering to define a custom Group template, this produces:

Of course in your app you'll want to define your own group templates.
And you can remove the "ModelChanged" listener which is just here to show you the model resulting from calling flattenJson on your data.

A: Something seems off with this element. An element that directly references the schema is pretty strange to me - I've never seen such structure:
    <s:element name="GetDataResponse">
        <s:complexType>
            <s:sequence>
                <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="GetDataResult">

            </s:sequence>
        </s:complexType>
    </s:element>

I've validated your WSDL in Eclipse - see what Eclipse says for this WSDL:
Error resolving component 's:schema'. It was detected that 's:schema' is in namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema', but components from this namespace are not referenceable from schema document 'file:///WSDLTEST.wsdl'. If this is the incorrect namespace, perhaps the prefix of 's:schema' needs to be changed. If this is the correct namespace, then an appropriate 'import' tag should be added to 'file:///WSDL.wsdl'.
Try removing <s:element ref="s:schema" /> line altogether and see if it works for you. Or describe the sequence element by element the way it's been done for the request GetData.


Behold the Hyundai i30 has been spotted in India again. It has spied in the outskirts of Chennai recently. As seen the car continues to resemble a companies Fluidic design language. It is available in the European Market and holds a position above the Elite i20 club.However it can only indicate another test for components for future models based on the Elantra Platform.Hyundai i30 is a hatchback which is a rival for the Volkswagen Golf and Creta SUV.
Although its suspected that the car won't be released as a hatchback because the cost and the size is not suitable for this region. New Hyundai i30 measures 4300 mm in length, 1780 mm in width and 1470 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2650 mm and so on requires a larger engine hence the increased expense. The i30 has a 378 liters of boot space, however, with rear foldable seats, space is increased to 1316 liters.
Globally, the new Hyundai i30 is available in both petrol and diesel engine option. The Hyundai i30 is offered with 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter petrol and 1.6 diesel engine which produces 127.5 ps, 164 ps and 136 ps respectively. Additionally, the Diesel and Petrol engine are available with 6 speed manual and 7 speed automatic transmission.
This car was unveiled in the Paris Motor Show back in 2016 and the styling resembles the Elantra Sedan sold in India. It has both petrol and diesel variant with minimalist switch gear. It comes with 8.0 inch floating touchscreen infotainment system supporting Android auto and Apple CarPlay. The safety features are radar guided cruise control and auto emergency braking along with 6 air bags. If launched the vehicle is expected to create a new segment of large premium hatchbacks in India market. The car is expected to carry a price tag of Rs. 8 Lakh.

Current understanding on the issues pointed out in the BWI's report (update)
The Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020), the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG), and Japan Sport Council (JSC) (collectively referred to as "the three parties") received a report on the working conditions at Games construction sites from the Building and Wood Workers' International (BWI) in May 2019. While the three parties have not found the facts pointed out in the report, the three parties recognise workers' safety and health on the construction sites as a matter of utmost importance and would like to take appropriate measures after identifying the specific conditions of the issues pointed out in the report. Therefore, in the letters to BWI dated June 4 and July 5, 2019, the three parties asked BWI to provide more detailed information necessary to identify the specific conditions.
On July 9, 2019, the three parties received additional information from BWI. The three parties, however, could not find the detailed information necessary to identify the specific conditions.
Accordingly, the three parties reorganised understanding with regard to the individual issues pointed out in the BWI's report as follows.
The three parties again requested the relevant contractors to work on safety and health management of workers appropriately, and would like to continue to commit themselves to advancing the construction in full consideration of the workers' safety and health.
Issues pointed out in the report
Understanding of three parties
1 Almost half of the workers consulted did not have formal employment contracts. See 2 (2) of Attachment 2
2 Workers on the Olympic Village reported working 28 days in a row, while on the New National Stadium workers reported working up to 26 days in a row. See 1. of Attachment 1 and 2 (1) of Attachment 2
3 Two construction workers interviewed, who were (likely) hitori oyakata, had to purchase their own safety equipment See 1. of Attachment 1 and 2 (2) of Attachment 2
4 At the Olympic Village, a load of concrete remained hoisted in the air for some time despite strong winds, putting workers on the site in severe danger. See 2 (1) of Attachment 2
In addition, TMG and Tokyo 2020 made an inquiry to the principal contractor based on the additional information provided from BWI on July 9, and confirmed that the contractor ensures the safety of crane operations by whistling to caution so that nobody works under the load.
5 When a contractor working on an Olympic site collapsed, the migrant workers working at the site were not paid their due wages. See 2 (2) of Attachment 2
According to the additional information provided from BWI on July 9, this issue is not recognised as a case that occurred at Games construction sites.
6 Migrant workers were being left to do only menial tasks, such as handling raw materials rather than being assigned work that would further enhance their skills. See 2 (2) of Attachment 2
7 Safety measures in a way that migrant workers can understand are not enough. See 2 (2) of Attachment 2
8 At the New National Stadium, an accident occurred due to the insufficient lighting. See 1. of Attachment 1

Q: Is Ghast a boss? Ghasts are cool to me. I have asked a friend: is the Ghast a boss?
I need to know because I am getting Minecraft on Xbox 360.

A: No, Ghasts are normal hostile mobs that live in the Nether.
They can spawn in basalt deltas, nether wastes, and soul sand valley biomes, so you can find more than one wandering around.

A: They are definitely not a boss, though can be more tricky than your average zombie. Reason being is because they fly and their attacks hit rather hard. They also contain a unique mechanic which lets you deflect their attacks and shoot them back at them.

School represents normal life to most students. Going to school is more than just education – it establishes a routine and provides an opportunity to socialise. A diagnosis of cancer is a major disruption for the student and leads to frequent absences from school.
Every situation is different. Not all families will want to maintain close contact with the school community, and a young child may not be able to respond to messages, depending on their age and symptoms. However, many students receiving treatment for cancer do want to maintain contact with classmates. Young people with cancer find it easier to return to school if friendships have been maintained throughout their absence. Regular communication can provide reassurance that they've not been forgotten by their friends and help to keep them engaged with their education.
Being given 25 letters at once was very overwhelming and made me feel very happy.
Organise visits to the hospital by classmates, if approved by the student's parents. The student may have reduced immunity, so reschedule the visit if anyone has a cold, cough or other viral or infectious illness.
Families in regional schools face extra complications. The major centres for cancer treatment are usually in large cities, away from the family's main support network. Often the student must travel great distances and stay away from home and school for long periods. One parent usually has to travel with the child, while the other parent stays home for work and to care for siblings.
School staff can link the family to school counselling services and offer support to any siblings who also attend the school (see pages 44–45). If your school has fees, the principal could consider how these can be adjusted to ease the family's financial burden. Fellow school parents often play a key role in coordinating support when a child has cancer, particularly if there isn't any extended family to help. With the family's permission, they may organise a roster for meals, childminding or transport (such as taking siblings to school, sport or other activities), or set up a fundraising website. A group of parents may organise this help among themselves, or it could be coordinated by the school's parent association, such as the P&C or P&F.
It is natural for a parent to feel anxious about how the student is going to keep up with their schoolwork. Students may also worry about falling behind, particularly if that might mean being separated from their peer group when they do return to school. Talk to the student and the parents about their expectations, and how you can help maintain some form of ongoing learning. An Individual Education Plan (or Individual Learning Plan) can provide some direction and guidance to ensure the student doesn't fall behind.
My parents encouraged me to give up Year 11 and do it next year, but I didn't want to be left behind.
Any school-aged student who has an extended hospital stay will be enrolled in a hospital school or hospital education service that caters for all school aged students. A hospital school aims to provide continuity of education to make the return to school as easy as possible and to boost a young person's spirits and self-esteem. To do this, the hospital school may contact the student's regular school to discuss the educational program. This helps ensure that the learning taking place in hospital is aligned with their regular schoolwork. Students attend a classroom or, if necessary, are visited on their ward by a teacher. Some hospitals may provide other services to assist with learning needs, such as play, music or art therapy.
More children and adolescents are now receiving treatment as outpatients. This can make it difficult for them to visit the hospital school, but they may not be well enough to attend their regular school. If you know the student is spending long periods of time at home, liaise with the family and the hospital school to ensure they have educational support and peer contact. The class teacher can also work with the student and family to set up a work program they can complete at home, including opportunities for the student to connect with their class. If the student transitions to high school or another new school, staff may share information about the student's learning needs so that the appropriate plans can be put in place.
You can help by making parents aware of Redkite's support services or by referring a student yourself. For more details, call 1800 REDKITE (1800 733 548), email support@redkite.org.au or visit Redkite.
Some hospitals have specialised programs to prepare students for the return to regular school. These programs liaise and collaborate with families, schools, hospital schools and oncology units to keep the child connected to their learning, their peers and their school community. Talk to your student's hospital about the educational services and programs they provide.
This charity supports younger children while they are absent from school by providing a large toy monkey to sit in the absent child's chair. The absent child also has a monkey. The class includes the monkey in all normal class activities and excursions, and photos are sent between children. For more information, visit Monkey in My Chair.
If you are telling students about a classmate's cancer, parents need to be aware that their children may come home upset, worried or with questions. The principal can send an email or a note home to prepare the parents.
You can expect a range of responses from students to the news. It's important to remember that everyone reacts differently to a stressful situation, and age and personality will influence this. Some students may be visibly upset. Others could be angry, confused or annoyed. Some may have no outward reaction to the news, which doesn't necessarily mean they're not listening or that they don't care. Others may look to help in any way that they can.
Give the students opportunities to share how they're feeling or ask questions. They might ask some difficult or sensitive questions, such as if they can "catch" cancer or if their classmate will die. Think about how you will respond to these questions ahead of time and approach the class in a sensitive manner (see Talking to kids about cancer for some suggestions).
In some cases, a member of the patient's treatment team (such as the clinical nurse consultant), a local community nurse or an organisation like CanTeen may visit the school to explain what is happening to their classmate, and how the student will look and feel when they return. Geographically isolated schools may be able to access support over the phone or internet.
See Different views on cancer for strategies on how to talk to students of different ages. To prepare for potential questions about death, see How young people understand death.
Try to establish beforehand if some students are more likely to be upset because of their friendship with a classmate with cancer. If a student becomes very distressed, they may need to speak with a counsellor or teacher with whom they feel comfortable. Contact the parents to let them know about their child's distress.
Regularly inform classmates about the student's progress. This will help to keep the class connected and prepare them for the student's return. Events such as fundraising for cancer charities may help channel the thoughts and energies of older classmates.
Siblings of students with cancer may need particular support because of the disruption they experience. They may sometimes feel forgotten, or believe they are responsible for what is going on. For more information and ways to help, see When a family member has cancer.
If you can't catch it, how do you get cancer?


Our story closely parallels the story of the reprographics industry. A vast majority of blueprint companies were family owned and operated. Bob Johnson and his wife, Laura, founded Johnson Whiteprint in 1955 to serve the architects, engineers,and general contractors of the greater Harrisburg area. Original drawings were reproduced as whiteprints, sepias, or mylars using Diazo equipment. The Diazo process combined light, ammonia, and distilled water to replicate the documents. In addition, Johnson Whiteprint was a source for supplies such as drafting tables, ink, Rapidiograph pens, lettering guides, and survey equipment.
In 1986, as advances in technology were beginning to reshape the industry, Laura Johnson sold the company. At the time the new ownership took over the reigns of the company, photocopiers capable of reproducing a document up to 36" in width, were replacing Diazo machines. It was now possible to feed the original drawings through the machine once and obtain multiple sets of copies. No more ammonia smell! But, architects and engineers still needed to produce copies of their drawings on mylar. In order to improve the quality and longevity of mylar reproductions, Johnson Whiteprint invested in an OptiCopy Registrator Camera. Using the OptiCopy, the original drawing was photographed and the image was captured on an 8.5X11 negative. Using the negative, the image was projected back onto a piece of mylar. These photographic mylars could be archived for much longer periods of time and they reduced the amount of time needed for redrafting.
The advent of CAD and plotters ushered in the newest phase of our industry. These advances in technology not only changed the way images were reproduced, but it also changed the types of images being reproduced. In order to reflect the expansion of services made possible as a result of this new technology, the company name was changed from Johnson Whiteprint to Johnson Imaging Systems in 1992.
Today, Johnson Imaging is co-owed by sisters Susanne Ehgartner and Kim Clements. The company provides a wide array of services using engineering copiers, scanners, color plotters, high speed copiers, mounting and laminating equipment, and a flat-bed printer. While construction documents are still reproduced, Johnson Imaging is also a resource for artists, independent restaurants and retail shops, attorneys, realtors, marketing departments, and individuals with an image and an idea.
Our industry continues to evolve, and on September 1, 2016 the International Reprographics Association (IRgA) officially became known as The Association of Printing and Data Solution Specialists (APDSP). As is the case across our industry, Johnson Imaging receives and transmits greater numbers of documents electronically. Having gone from blueprints to bytes we look forward to the opportunities and challenges presented by today's rapid advances in technology.


The Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers (AICB) is pleased to present the Global Banking Conference, which will take place from 10–11 July 2018 at Sasana Kijang, Bank Negara Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. Themed "Banking in The Digital Age: Disruption. Reinvention. Revolution.", the Conference seeks to provide deep insight into the future of banking and how digital technology is disrupting the financial services industry, forcing banks to clarify their digital strategies, develop new capabilities and transform their cultures.
As consumer expectations rise beyond current bank offerings and the burgeoning demand for digital and mobile services threaten the very existence of traditional banking, the need for banks to keep pace with technological innovations has become a significant challenge. Through this conference, perceive the profound presence and impact of digitalisation in the Banking 4.0 environment, discern the motivation behind banks' substantial investments in digital initiatives today, and discover the drivers of technological innovation and integration through the eyes of leading industry experts. The digitalisation of the financial sector is no longer optional — it is essential.


It is almost a year since the release of this movie and I think it will be known like Manichitrathazhu and other gems from the past in the coming years. This movie was the directorial debut of Dileesh Pothan, an AD of Aashiq Abu. With Shyam Pushkaran's terrific screenplay based on true events (life of Thampan Purushan of Cherthala), brilliant music (background and tracks) by Bijibal, and stellar performances by the entire cast, Maheshinte Prathikaram is a sweet movie to watch.
The story takes you through the life of Mahesh who is a small photo studio owner who gets into a fight for his friend and with the defeat he vows to not wear slippers until he avenges for their actions. The characters were weaved into the plot very well and the actors who portrayed these characters excelled in their performance.
The character called Mahesh loses his first love, Sowmya (portrayed by Anushree). He then finds his next one in Jincy (Aparna Balamurali). The thing I loved about this is that the breakup was shown very beautifully without bothering the girl. When Sowmya decides to marry someone else for a better life abroad, Mahesh handles it sensibly. He attends her wedding with a smile. It is surely a lesson for those who use stalking as a reasonable theme in their movies to prove just one thing love (unfortunately it doesn't).
The movie also used rain as a theme and rain in the beautiful Idukki just made it beautiful to watch.
As for the dialogues, '8-inte oru lunar' followed by 'sherikkum' by the shopkeeper at the end of the movie just completes everything. Jincy's 'chettan supera' brings a smile even as I type it out here. The movie totally belonged to Fahad and it took me back to the 80's-90's Mohanlal who portrayed as a common man from small towns. The script could have taken a different twist after the first half but that is where this movie stood out. The second half was something most would not have expected and audiences will surely leave the theaters or their couch with a smile and good heart.

Church's steeple plans get trimmed
By Danielle Samaniego | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: January 24, 2007 at 5:34 a.m. | UPDATED: August 15, 2016 at 8:04 p.m.
The Oak Park Christian Center was tired of being mistaken for part of the school next door, so officials thought a 521/2-foot steeple would set it apart.
They were 91/2 feet too high.
The City Council on Monday night reversed portions of the Planning Commission's approval for a 16,600-square-foot sanctuary complete with a 521/2-foot high tower and cross feature (where a maximum 43-foot height is allowed for such structures) following a lengthy meeting that included an onslaught of public comments on both sides of the issue.
"There is nothing in this area to balance a project of this size," said neighbor Quetta Watson. Many like Watson feared the church addition would impede on the neighborhood's desire to keep its small-town character, citing the city's recent efforts to create design guidelines for these reasons. "Visually it will be out of scope, and will loom over the surrounding area."
Congregation member Deb Deur said she thought the features would enhance the area and were necessary to help members locate the place.
"I am one of the newest members, and as far as finding the church, I drove by it twice before I found it," she said.
The church at 2073 Oak Park Boulevard is next to Pleasant Hill Elementary School, within the older neighborhood. The new sanctuary will provide 628 seats and added parking totaling 157 spots. The congregation has around 400 members. The church ultimately plans to expand to 944 seats and 236 parking spaces, but that would be considered another phase and would have to go through a separate city review process.
The applicants were asking for exceptions to the height limits set in the Oak Park neighborhood for part of the tower and cross.
Council members said the church did not provide any solid reason for the extra height. Any exceptions made to height limits must be based on three city ordinance criteria: height changes are needed because the property's size, shape, location or surroundings deprive it of property privileges surrounding lots enjoy; it is not considered a special privilege; and the changes meet the intent and purpose of the area in which it is located.
Proponents argued that the tower, where a large cross would be placed at the top, was a major component.
"When most of us think of a church, we think of towers and steeples," said Robin Houdashell, who is an assistant at the church. "And with the (proposed Oak Park) tower, it does give that look. I think with the architectural design, it looks good."
Others, including the council, argued that those reasons weren't good enough.
"The desirability of visibility is not a finding for a variance," Councilwoman Sue Angeli said. "I think a church is a church is a church, no matter how high the steeple is."
The council's move forces church officials to redesign the towering cross to fit height requirements, though church officials add that they're grateful for the council's careful consideration to the project as a whole.
"We're pleased that the vote went this way and we can begin to move forward in the next step in our project," said Pastor Bill Mathews. "We thought we had a fair hearing and we felt like we were considered and that's the way we looked at."
Other neighbor concerns involved traffic and parking issues. The church has and will maintain an agreement with Pleasant Hill Elementary to share parking space when possible.
The issue will come back before the City Council for final approval within 30 days.

The Rogue - A Devil's Duke Novel
Publisher: Avon
Book #1 of The Devil's Duke
Lady Constance Read is independent, beautiful, and in need of a husband—now. The last man on earth she wants is the rogue who broke her heart six years ago, never mind that his kisses are scorching hot . . .
Evan Saint-André Sterling is rich, scarred, and finished with women—forever. He's not about to lose his head over the bewitching beauty who once turned his life upside down.
But Constance needs a warrior, and Saint is the perfect man for the job. Only as a married woman can she penetrate Scotland's most notorious secret society and bring a diabolical duke to justice. When Constance and Saint become allies—and passionate lovers—he'll risk everything to protect the only woman he has ever loved.
Katharine Ashe is the award-winning author of historical romances that reviewers call "intensely lush" and "sensationally intelligent," including How to Be a Proper Lady, an Amazon Editors' Choice...
Trouble - A Mystery Billionaire...
Ellen Lane
It's been always me alone against the world. But now a woman has turned my world upside down.
I am a loner. Some would say a daredevil.
Someone who only lives by his own rules.
Money? I abound.
Women? I take whenever I want.
But I don´t let anyone get too close to me.
The past has taught me to have no feelings.
My family is divided. My enemies are trying to kill me.
That's the price for being Franklin Darwell.
But then I met Pam.
A beautiful angel that the gods must have sent me.
Her plump lips and gentle curves made me feel whole again.
Her smile is like a cure for my dark thoughts.
She is the one woman who would be worth dying for.
But nothing should happen to her. I have to protect her.
The only problem is that it's probably too late for that...
My Lady Gloriana
Sylvia Halliday
In this twist on the Pygmalion story, a duke makes a wager that he can bed the uncouth Lady Gloriana. But the bet takes on a life of its own... The year is 1725. Lady Gloriana Baniard is a beautiful fish out of water. Brought up on the mean streets of London, she is a brash, blunt, obscene force of nature. But thanks to a brief marriage to a disgraced aristocrat, she is forced to live with his noble family and endure the humiliating process of learning to be a lady. Rebelling, she runs away to Yorkshire, where she intends to be a blacksmith, a skill at which she excels. She knows she'll need a manservant to front for her. When John Thorne appears, she hires him, stirred as much by his irresistible attraction as by his strength. John Haviland, Duke of Thorneleigh, is an arrogant, indolent gambler and womanizer. Having seen Gloriana just once, he yearns to make her his own. When he learns she has run away from her family, he makes a wild bet with his wastrel companions—he will find the lady and bed her. Disguised as a humble servant, he becomes her assistant, learning the blacksmith trade. The clash of wills between these two proud people creates more sparks than a blacksmith's anvil, as Gloriana learns to be a lady, Thorne learns humility—and desire deepens to love.
