A Plague on Both the Main Political Parties' Houses
By David Smith 14th November 2019
A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to attend the Landlord Investment Show at Olympia, which is going from strength to strength, and take part in a panel discussion. The day was November 5th, and much of the discussion revolved around Brexit and the upcoming general election, as well as the state of the main political parties.
There was, however, an undercurrent of discontent in the audience. Though most people were hoping for an election outcome that puts an end to the Brexit uncertainty and deadlock – without wanting to spoil things, I pointed out that it is 32 years since the Conservatives won a large majority – few had high hopes for an improved post-election environment for landlords.
Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader and a fellow panellist, came in for some flak for the George Osborne reforms, notably the Section 24 changes, but also the Stamp Duty premium. He pointed out that he had personally opposed these changes but that cut little ice. Mr Duncan Smith was no Osborne ally but even backbenchers have to carry the can for things done in their name.
A change of course?
I have noted here before, as I did at the event, that the effects of these reforms are coming home to roost, with many landlords selling up in what they now regard as a hostile environment, and the reduced availability of supply hurting the very people – the private renters – that the reforms were intended to help.
Reduced availability means less choice and a heightened shortage of properties in an already tight market. The effect of this, of course, is to push up rents. And the more you take from landlords in tax, the less the incentive they have for improving their properties.
Could we take any comfort from the fact that since Boris Johnson became Prime Minister, he has reversed many of the things that Mr Osborne did as Chancellor, including austerity? Could we see changes to Section 24 and other Osborne reforms being similarly reversed?
Mr Duncan Smith offered the hope of some landlord-friendly changes, but not a complete reversal of the Osborne reforms. It is unlikely to be a priority in the Tory manifesto, even though the party should be proud of its revival from the private rented sector's (PRS) low point in the 1990s.
If there is little comfort in prospect from the Tories, very little is in store from Labour. The opposition's focus is on the provision of more social housing, a lot more of it in fact. It remains to be seen whether the plan floated by John McDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor, to require private landlords to sell to tenants at a discount, actually makes it into the manifesto, or is being held back for Labour.
Failing to hit the spot
One member of the audience, to be fair, said he would not mind selling to a good tenant at a five per cent discount, though it was not my impression that this was the general view of landlords. Those with long memories will recall that, under the original right-to-buy scheme for council house tenants, the discounts were very much larger than five per cent.
In this election, the Tories will emphasise their commitment to increasing owner-occupation, which has been on the wane in recent years, while Labour is committed to what has been described as "the biggest council house building programme in a generation."
Neither approach from either of the main political parties appears to be hitting the spot among "Generation Rent", which rightly points out that government targets for private housebuilding are a triumph of hope over experience and social housing, while much-needed, suffers from similar capacity problems.
Neither of the two main political parties has what might be described as a joined-up policy for the PRS. Those who are waiting for one might have a very long time to wait.

An excellent article as always from Mr Smith.
Geoff W says:
It is not just the conservatives that want to landlord bash but every other party with Marxist McDonnell causing untold damage by highlighting the clear Anti Landlord enviroment they wish to create. The UK is not a sound place to invest in residential property anymore. I stopped adding to my portfolio when the Osbourne era started and Mrs May was the worst conservative primeminster in years. So bad have they been I have vowed to NEVER vote conservative again. The abolition is S21 changes the tenure for good. Although I rarely needed to use it; it was my insurance policy. I predict this will prove to be the modern day poll tax for the conservative party.

In information theory, the entropy power inequality (EPI) is a result that relates to so-called "entropy power" of random variables. It shows that the entropy power of suitably well-behaved random variables is a superadditive function. The entropy power inequality was proved in 1948 by Claude Shannon in his seminal paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication". Shannon also provided a sufficient condition for equality to hold; Stam (1959) showed that the condition is in fact necessary.

Statement of the inequality

For a random vector X : Ω → Rn with probability density function f : Rn → R, the differential entropy of X, denoted h(X), is defined to be

and the entropy power of X, denoted N(X), is defined to be

In particular, N(X) = |K| 1/n when X is normal distributed with covariance matrix K.

Let X and Y be independent random variables with probability density functions in the Lp space Lp(Rn) for some p > 1. Then

Moreover, equality holds if and only if X and Y are multivariate normal random variables with proportional covariance matrices.

Alternative form of the inequality

The entropy power inequality can be rewritten in an equivalent form that does not explicitly depend on the definition of entropy power (see Costa and Cover reference below).

Let X and Y be independent random variables, as above.  Then, let X' and Y' be independently distributed random variables with gaussian distributions, such that

 and

in Turkey: facing a new millennium
This chapter sums up the key findings of this study on Turkey's involvement and handling of intertwined conflicts in the 1990s. The analysis reveals that Turkey's political and strategic status seems to be solid, and suggests that the country's leadership should be complimented for avoiding becoming embroiled in the conflicts around it. The chapter also analyses the prospects for Turkey in the twenty-first century and comments on its depiction in the media as a rising Middle Eastern power, emerging regional superpower and multi-regional power.
When we come to evaluate Turkey's record in the 1990s and the country's prospects for the 2000s there are several "No"s and "If"s that we will mention and elaborate on. In addition, the trend by which Turkey is described in numerous publications during the 1990s necessitates clarification. Since the end of the 1980s new opportunities have indeed been opened for Turkey, new crossroads have emerged, new encounters and contacts created. Seemingly, they project a Turkey that is an emerging multiregional power for the foreseeable future. Definitions of Turkey as the rising "Middle Eastern power," "the Central Asian pivot," the "multi-regional power," or even as the emerging "regional super-power" as Time magazine had used (see the Help Wanted "Ad," at the beginning of Chapter 1), are to be found in many publications.1 We, too, we have used this terminology when we came to describe the country's status, performances and prospects. However, a clear warning should be attached to these definitions. Turkey will not be the said power if it means clashes and confrontations and wars, be it with Russia, Iran, Muslim radicalism, excessive Arab nationalism, ethnic forces, etc. It is hard to recall a power that occasionally does not need to resort to forceful means and weapons.
Notwithstanding territorial disputes, water conflicts, ideological strife, and other disagreements, Turkey enjoys a unique and enviable situation in which no one dares to antagonize it. This is not something to depreciate, bearing in mind neighbors like Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Turkey has used the waning of the cold war and the opportunities opened to it thereafter to weaken its internal and external adversaries and to secure its military and economic capabilities. The country should be readier now to cope with its internal problems, described so cruelly and in an unpitying way by President Demirel (see the quotation in the Introduction to this book.) Furthermore, Turkey's leadership, so much yearning for and thinking of the future that awaits the country in Western Europe – in spite of waves of setbacks, rejections, alienation and ambivalence – has done its utmost not to get embroiled in Asian, Balkan, Middle Eastern, or Mediterranean complexities. There is hardly a chance that Turkey would become an active or a warring party in these crises. The country has not fought a war on its territory since the 1920s – a status on a par with only a handful of states. It would be pure imprudence to deviate from this record and to find itself mired in the eastern or Balkan squabbles when its declared visions are far away in the West.
The Turkish encounter with the Caucasus and Central Asian Turkic peoples has aroused emotions, hopes and plans for a different future in which Turkey is at the center of a revived Pan-Turkism world. Certainly, emotions and hopes exist, perhaps even thrive but, again, one should expect very cautious Turkish behavior. The Turkic world is wrought with ethnic conflicts, other actors are meddling in its affairs, wishing to reap political hegemony, cultural benefits and economic and energy gains. And Turkish nationalism – which was extricated, molded and refined from the ethnic hodgepodge that characterized the Ottoman Empire and which intermittently still needs to prove its prevailing character among Turkey's own fifty or more ethnic groups – might face grave risks. Turkish nationalism that politically, culturally, and socially faces challenges but nevertheless aspires westwards, will be reluctant to be the Turkic ethnic and cultural pivot, let alone its police force. "We are not going to build an Eastern alternative" declared President Demirel, emphasizing the direction that Turkey had no intention of taking (see Chapter 4, p. 114).
Internally, too, there are "not"s and "if"s. Turkey's Islam is more Turkish than Pan-Islamic. A declared Muslim politician led the country – appointed, ruled, and ended his tenure through democratic and parliamentary procedures. True, Necmettin Erbakan stayed in office for less than a year, and the democratic procedures were of the Turkish democratic kind in which the military is the shield defending democracy. Still, neither the country's politics nor its ambience were Islamically altered when Turkey chose a Muslim politician for Prime Minister. Predictions are a precarious business; still, Turkey is not going to be Islamized à la Iran, Algeria or Afghanistan. Neither does the Turkish military consider itself permanently superior to the civil echelons. On the contrary, when during the Gulf crisis there were deep conflicting views between the Turkish executive and the Turkish Chief of Staff, it was the latter who handed in his resignation, not the other way round. Similarly, open involvement of the military in governmental decision-making procedures à la September 1980 coup is a precedent that would not recur. In 1997, when the military intervened in what eventually brought about the resignation of the Prime Minister, it was through a covert procedure, actually a minor move if compared with the coup of 1980. When the watchful eyes of the EU look for excessive influence by the military in Turkish politics, one could predict that the Turkish democracy is practically safe from overt military interventions.
The early years of the twenty-first century saw two crises and one ray of hope. The economic crisis that erupted in 2001 spoiled many efforts to buttress the Turkish economy and the country's currency. In its turn the economic and fiscal depression led, in 2002, to the collapse of the coalition government that had ruled Turkey since April 1999 – a relatively long period for a Turkish executive – and to a new round of general elections, held in early November 2002. The reforms that the Turkish Grand National Assembly adopted in August 2002 are a great leap forward. The death penalty was abolished, Kurdish education, television, and language courses were made legal. Among the adopted fourteen principles of the reform package, the Turkish parliament left the death penalty for times of war only. (No executions have been carried out in Turkey since 1984, though the death penalty was still legal.) Television broadcasting in languages other than Turkish were made legal. Private schools will be able to use languages other than Turkish. Freedom of expression will prevail with no punishments for criticism against the military, the state, the parliamentary system, the government, the legal system, or Turkish identity. Laws and rules related to freedom of gathering, assembly, and demonstration, will become more lenient. The reforms are indeed wide: right-wingers and nationalists termed them as pure betrayal, a reward to terrorism. Still, it has been a huge leap forward, made with an eye to the EU: the reforms were practically the EU stipulation to start accession negotiations with Turkey.
Future developments will tell whether these Turkish moves will be reciprocated by Europe and the West. If positive, Turkish society will become more pluralistic, open, and liberal minded. If negative, radicalism, introversion, religionism, and excessive nationalism will rule the day in Turkey. Time will tell.

Liberal peacebuilding and the development-security industry
Author: Jenny H. Peterson
Publication History:
This book critically examines the range of policies and programmes that attempt to manage economic activity that contributes to political violence. Beginning with an overview of over a dozen policies aimed at transforming these activities into economic relationships which support peace, not war, the book then offers a sustained critique of the reasons for limited success in this policy field. The inability of the range of international actors involved in this policy area, the Development-Security Industry (DSI), to bring about more peaceful political-economic relationships is shown to be a result of liberal biases, resulting conceptual lenses and operational tendencies within this industry. A detailed case study of responses to organised crime in Kosovo offers an in-depth exploration of these problems, but also highlights opportunities for policy innovation. This book offers a new framework for understanding both the problem of economic activity that accompanies and sometimes facilitates violence and programmes aimed at managing these forms of economic activity. Summaries of key arguments and frameworks, found within each chapter, provide accessible templates for both students and aid practitioners seeking to understand war economies and policy reactions in a range of other contexts. It also offers insight into how to alter and improve policy responses in other cases. As such, the book is accessible to a range of readers, including students interested in peace, conflict and international development as well as policy makers and practitioners seeking new ways of understanding war economies and improving responses to them.
Change and the politics of certainty
Author: Jenny Edkins
Despite the imperative for change in a world of persistent inequality, racism, oppression and violence, difficulties arise once we try to bring about a transformation. As scholars, students and activists, we may want to change the world, but we are not separate, looking in, but rather part of the world ourselves. The book demonstrates that we are not in control: with all our academic rigour, we cannot know with certainty why the world is the way it is, or what impact our actions will have. It asks what we are to do, if this is the case, and engages with our desire to seek change. Chapters scrutinise the role of intellectuals, experts and activists in famine aid, the Iraq war, humanitarianism and intervention, traumatic memory, enforced disappearance, and the Grenfell Tower fire, and examine the fantasy of security, contemporary notions of time, space and materiality, and ideas of the human and sentience. Plays and films by Michael Frayn, Chris Marker and Patricio Guzmán are considered, and autobiographical narrative accounts probe the author's life and background. The book argues that although we might need to traverse the fantasy of certainty and security, we do not need to give up on hope.
Potentials of disorder
Editors: Jan Koehler and Christoph Zürcher
This book deals with the institutional framework in post-socialist, after-empire spaces. It consists of nine case studies and two contributions of a more theoretical nature. Each of these analytical narratives sheds some light on the micro-politics of organised violence. After 1990, Serbs and Croats were competing over access to the resources needed for institution building and state building. Fear in turn triggered ethnic mobilisation. An 'unprofessional' riot of Serbs in the Krajina region developed into a professional war between Serbs and Croats in Croatia, in which several thousand died and several hundred thousand people were forcefully expelled from their homes. The Herceg-Bosnian style of resistance can be surprisingly effective. It is known that most of the heroin transported along the Balkans route passes through the hands of Albanian mafia groups; that this traffic has taken off since summer 1999. The concept of Staatnation is based on the doctrine according to which each 'nation' must have its own territorial State and each State must consist of one 'nation' only. The slow decline and eventual collapse of the Soviet and the Yugoslav empires was partly triggered, partly accompanied by the quest for national sovereignty. Dagestan is notable for its ethnic diversity and, even by post-Soviet standards, its dramatic economic deprivation. The integrative potential of cooperative movements at the republican, the regional and the inter-state level for the Caucasus is analyzed. The book also offers insights into the economics of ending violence. Finally, it addresses the question of reconciliation after ethnic cleansing.

When the Lancaster Moravian Church moved back to the city and started the Moravian Center Adult Day, it was important that they convey that the congregation and the center were partners on this journey. They were not only a congregation, but also the visionaries behind this amazing program that serves so many in our community.
The adult day program was not a stand alone entity, either, and the space that is used by the church and the day program are one in the same. Exercise at 10 AM each week day morning is done in the same space that we worship in on Sunday at 10 AM. Cookies and Conversation is held at the same tables where day center participants eat their lunch.
With that in mind, the name became the Moravian Center of Lancaster, which currently includes the Moravian Center Adult Day Care and the Lancaster Moravian Congregation. While congregants knew that there would be many opportunities for ministries and connections in the city, calling it the Moravian Center would allow for the possibility of other programs or ministries to naturally fall under that umbrella. We are always always praying for God's guidance as to how we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ in this community.

The new book from the critically acclaimed author of The Wives and ?Sophia Tolstoy sheds light on one of the strangest and most unusual relationships in literary history—which has been steeped in secrecy for more than a century.
On the snowy morning of February 8, 1897, the Petersburg secret police were following Tolstoy's every move. At sixty-nine, Russia's most celebrated writer was being treated like a major criminal. Prominent Russians were always watched, but Tolstoy earned particular scrutiny. Over a decade earlier, when his advocacy on behalf of oppressed minorities angered the Orthodox Church and the Tsar, he was placed under permanent police surveillance. Although Tolstoy was wearing his peasant garb, people on the streets had no trouble recognizing him from his portraits. He was often seen in the company of his chief disciple, Vladimir Chertkov. A man of striking appearance, twenty-five years younger, Chertkov commanded attention. His photographs with Tolstoy show him towering over the writer, but who exactly was this imposing man? Close to the Tsars and to the chief of the secret police, Chertkov represented the very things Tolstoy had renounced ––class privilege, unlimited power, and wealth. Yet, Chertkov fascinated and attracted Tolstoy. He became the writer's closest confidant, even reading his daily diary, and by the end of Tolstoy's life, Chertkov had established complete control over the writer and his legacy. Tolstoy's full exchange with Chertkov comprises more than 2,000 letters, making him the writer's largest correspondent. The Russian archives have suppressed much of this communication as well as Chertkov's papers for more than a century. The product of ground-breaking archival research, Tolstoy's False Disciple promises to be a revelatory portrait of the two men and their three-decade-long clandestine relationship.
Alexandra Popoff is the author of the award-winning biography Sophia Tolstoy: A Biography. She has written for Russian national newspapers and magazines in Moscow and, as an Alfred Friendly Press Fellow, published articles in The Philadelphia Inquirer and its Sunday magazine. She has also contributed to The Huffington Post and The Boston Globe. Popoff lives in Canada where she obtained post-graduate degrees in Russian and English literature.
"The strange tangled story of the friendship — perhaps love is a better word — between Tolstoy and Vladimir Chertkov has engaged, tantalized, and befuddled biographers and lovers of Tolstoy for a century or more. It's a riveting tale of discipleship and betrayal, with many sides to every point. The mysteries have, to a wonderful degree, been explored in detail with a great deal of fresh evidence by Alexandra Popoff, a brilliant biographer and Russian scholar. I admire her work here immensely." Jay Parini, author of "The Last Station"


The tragic effects of exposure to asbestos are sadly very clear to doctors, with approximately 100,000 people diagnosed world-wide with asbestos-related cancer every year.
It was used for its natural properties of heat-resistance and strong fibres in the building of ships. Once aware of the carcinogenic effects, the UK government wrote to major ship repair companies shortly after WWII advising of the dangers of asbestos exposure. And yet the risk among UK workers continued up until 1999 – with the risks of asbestos still a worldwide problem today.
With the knowledge of the extreme detrimental effects to health, shipwrights and dock workers laboured in constant exposure to asbestos without the necessary protective equipment to prevent inhalation of the asbestos dust.
Asbestos was used by shipbuilding companies in the UK since the 1930s, increasingly so following the Second World War. Laggers, for example, responsible for the mixing of asbestos cement (monkey dung) by hand, would inhale asbestos dust all day, carrying asbestos-filled containers all week long.
Inhaling asbestos dust allows the fibres to work their way into the pleura, the thin lining of the lungs. As a result, Pleural Thickening and plaques can develop – the symptoms of which include breathing difficulties and a reduced function of the lungs. There is no cure for Pleural Thickening, and its effects on the lungs can develop over a prolonged length of time.
Though at the time of exposure a shipwright or dockworker may at cough as with any inhalation of dust, the carcinogenic effects are only known decades later. With doctors only able to detect Pleural Thickening and Mesothelioma sometimes 40 years later, many victims will likely not remember the exact time they were exposed to asbestos.
But for ship builders and workers in shipwrights and docks pre-dating the ban on asbestos in the UK, exposure to asbestos was so heavy that, tragically, it is all too clear when they will have contracted asbestos-related diseases.
For more information on frequently asked questions regarding industrial diseases, read our previous blog here.
If you are a former dock worker or were employed by a shipwright, Slater and Gordon Lawyers offer a free consultation for asbestos compensation claims and most claims are dealt with on a No Win No Fee basis.

Migne rallies fans' support for Stars at AFCON
Harambee Stars head coach Sebastien Migne observes the players doing their drills during their first training session at the June 30 Stadium training ground on June 20, 2019
CAIRO, Egypt, June 20 – Harambee Stars head coach Sebastien Migne has rallied fans to stand behind the team and not put unnecessary pressure as they prepare for their first Africa Cup of Nations appearance in 15 years.
Stars landed in Cairo, Egypt on Tuesday night and had their first session on Wednesday at their base close to the 30th June Stadium where they will play their group matches.
"I am more realistic; We have shown some good things over the last period. We have beaten Madagascar and drawn with DR Congo which honestly we had the possibility to win and we showed a lot of good things. We are on the way to challenge and soon, it might be in two days or next year or next AFCON… soon we will be better," the tactician stated.
"Fans we need to remember where we were one year ago. We were so far from AFCON and from this kind of team we have now. We are here after 15 years so I want to ask them to be on the team to support us, be passionate and something will happen. I want to continue to dream,"
Harambee Stars defender Abud Omar passes the ball under pressure from midfielder Ismail Athman Gonzalez during their first training session at the June 30 Stadium training ground on June 20, 2019
"The boys have surprised us in 14 months and it's incredible. However, I am not sure under pressure and with this kind of event what kind of reaction we will have on the pitch. But we will try our best to learn quickly," the tactician stated.
Migne believes the team has prepared well having spent three weeks in a residential training camp in France and arrived in Cairo on Tuesday night, four days before their opening match against Algeria on Sunday.
The tactician is hopeful that the team can cope with the absence of defender Brian Mandelw who underwent knee surgery on Wednesday in Paris but is expected to arrive in Cairo on Thursday night where he will be with the team to offer moral support.

"It is difficult to play without Brian because he is one of my leaders in not only defense but in the team as well. But I am lucky I have Okumu (Joseph) who showed some good things against DRC. It is always an opportunity for other players to show their quality,"
"I don't want to dwell too much on Brian being out but we need to prepare to have him earliest in September or October. It was the same against Ghana. Wanyama (Victor) was not there. In the second leg Olunga (Michael) and Brian were not there so we will try to find an option," the Frenchman said.
His sentiments were shared by skipper Victor Wanyama who stated that Mandela's absence is a huge blow, but they will fight to get victory dedicated to him.

"Losing Brian was a big blow but there is always someone ready to step up. We have been with him all through and has been an important part of the team giving us motivation and has a lot of positive energy. We will be happy to have him around," Wanyama noted.
Meanwhile, Migne has complained over the poor internet facilities at the complex as well as the lack of an English sports channel which he says will make their stay at the Tiba Rose Hotel uncomfortable.
"Before it was there but now we have nothing. When you have players with only one session, they need to follow the sports channels to watch the games and with this new generation without Wi-Fi the days are very long,"
"Yes it is a small detail but in the high level every detail matters," Migne further stated.

Well it was always going to happen, the EU warned Google time after time and today the clock ran out and they have been fined a record amount for restrictions of trade.
The EU commission also slapped Google with a 90 day cease and desist notice or face further fines.
They can't say they weren't warned, but I'm sure they will fight this.


The WTS Glass Ceiling Committee invites you to celebrate International Women's Day at the City Club in downtown San Francisco where we will be releasing the third installment of our longitudinal "Glass Ceiling" study initiated in 2010. Make sure the evening is on your calendar for we will not only share key findings from the most recent study but have planned a delightful opportunity to hear from Alison Dahl Crossley, Associate Director of Stanford's Clayman Institute for Gender Research.
The WTS Glass Ceiling Committee is following up on our premier study benchmarking leadership roles of women in the Bay Area transportation and identifying whether the glass ceiling is a barrier. The biennial reports track the progress and status of women and identifies potential policies or programs to support the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in transportation. The third installment is being released on International Women's Day 2016 with interesting results.
Ms. Dahl's areas of research and teaching include gender, social movements, culture, digital media, and research methods. She has written about online feminism, the continuity of the feminist movement, and emerging forms of political contestation. Don't miss this WTS Glass Ceiling event where this inspiring scholar will cover inclusive workplaces and strategies that harness the full potential of workplaces by reducing gender biases that undermine women's achievement and limit advancement.
RSVP: Please RSVP by March 4 via EventBrite.

Master's degree in Montessori education specialized in preschool or elementary education certified by the University of Barcelona (UB) and recognised by IMI. This academic training provides the scientific, philosophical and practical knowledge for teachers to work in specialized Montessori schools and in classrooms that use the Montessori Method.
We are currently offering a Master's degree in Montessori Education with two specialities, preschool and elementary. Preschool MA degree offers you the opportunity to work at specialized Montessori centers in the 0-6 class. Elementary MA degree offers you the opportunity to work at specialized Montessori centers in the 6-12 class.
The teacher sets the environment in a Montessori class carefully, with aesthetically prepared materials presented sequentially, focused on the developmental needs of the child. The Prepared Environment contains appropriate furnishings to the size of the child, Montessori Materials and enough space that allows the child to work in peace, either alone or in a group.
The child from birth to six years of age has an "absorbent mind". In this period of development, we can observe very rapid and significant mental changes. This period of mental growth represents a unique learning opportunity.
Maria Montessori noticed that children go through phases of interest and curiosity, what she called "sensitive periods". These periods are windows of opportunity in which the child is interested in something very intense, constantly repeats, until he/she can dominate it.
These activities develop and refine the five senses—seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling—and build a foundation for speech, writing and maths using sensorial materials.
The main aim of Montessori Education is to help each child to reach his/her full potential in all areas of life. Activities promote the development of social skills, emotional growth and physical coordination as well as cognitive preparation for future intellectual academic endeavours. The Montessori Method allows children to experience and learn while they enjoy and develop their self-esteem and autonomy.
Montessori teachers, a classroom with a variety of ages, the use of Montessori Materials, a work focused on the child and periods of uninterrupted work are basic elements of this pedagogy and should be the goal of any Montessori Education School.
In this training, we will teach you how to recognize and take advantage of perceptual stages of the children, through the introduction of materials and activities specially designed to stimulate their mind and create for themselves the knowledge and experience of life.

El Dia Internacional de la Preservació de la Capa d'Ozó o Dia de la Capa d'Ozó se celebra cada any el 16 de setembre, proclamat per l'Assemblea General de les Nacions Unides. En aquest dia es convida a tots els Estats que el dediquin a la promoció d'activitats relacionades amb els objectius del Protocol de Montreal, relatiu a les substàncies que destrueixen la capa d'ozó, i les seves esmenes. La capa d'ozó, és una capa fràgil de gas situada a l'estratosfera que protegeix a la Terra de la part nociva dels rajos solars, i per tant, ajuda a preservar la vida al planeta.

Història
El 19 de desembre de 1994 l'Assemblea General de les Nacions Unides va proclamar el 16 de setembre com Dia Internacional de la Preservació de la Capa d'Ozó, en commemoració del dia en què va firmar-se el Protocol de Montreal relatiu a les substàncies que destrueixen la capa d'ozó l'any 1987. Aquest dia internacional se celebra des de 1995. L'eliminació dels usos controlats de les substàncies que destrueixen l'ozó estratosfèric i les reduccions connexes no solament han ajudat a protegir la capa d'ozó per a la generació actual i les futures, sinó que també han contribuït enormement a les iniciatives mundials dirigides a fer front al canvi climàtic; així mateix, han protegit la salut humana i els ecosistemes reduint la radiació ultraviolada nociva que arriba a la Terra.

Never-Trumper Adam Kinzinger joins Pelosi's 'bipartisan' January 6th commission
In a move that many in his party will likely deem a disgraceful betrayal, Never-Trump Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (IL) announced over the weekend that he has accepted an invitation from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to serve on the select committee charged with probing the Capitol unrest of Jan. 6, according to the Washington Examiner.
Pelosi made her intention of inviting Kinzinger to participate in the panel clear during an appearance on ABC's This Week, ending days of speculation of how she might proceed after having rejected two of the five Republicans put forth by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) – Reps. Jim Banks (R-IN) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) – to serve. Soon after, the speaker issued a formal statement on her decision.
"Today, I am announcing the appointment of Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran and Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard, to serve on the Select Committee," Pelosi said, adding, "He brings great patriotism to the Committee's mission: to find the facts and protect our Democracy."
Never one to shun hyperbole in her efforts to gain political advantage, Pelosi continued, "On January 6th, insurrectionists attempted to overthrow the government during the worst assault on the Capitol since the War of 1812. It is imperative that we get to the truth of that day and ensure that such an attack can never again happen."
In response to Pelosi's offer, Kinzinger – who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump over the Capitol protests – issued a statement of his own, saying, "Today, I was asked by the Speaker to serve on the House Select Committee to Investigate January 6th and I humbly accepted. I will work diligently to ensure we get to the truth and hold those responsible for the attack fully accountable."
Explaining his willingness to join Pelosi's endeavor, Kinzinger delcared, "This moment requires a serious, clear-eyed, non-partisan approach," and mirrored the speaker's exaggerated rhetoric by insisting, "We are duty-bound to conduct a full investigation on the worst attack on the Capitol since 1814 and to make sure it can never happen again."
Kinzinger joins fellow Republican and Trump foe Rep. Liz Cheney (WY) as the only two GOP lawmakers on the committee. Once Pelosi rejected the appointment of Reps. Banks and Jordan to the panel, McCarthy withdrew his remaining picks and pledged that his party would pursue its own Jan. 6 probe.
In the wake of Pelosi's move, McCarthy added that the speaker had erased any potential "legitimacy and credibility" the committee may have marshaled and said that her actions represented "an egregious abuse of power" that would "irreparably damage" the institution of Congress, according to the Examiner.
Issuing another statement amid the news of Kinzinger's new role, McCarthy stated, "Speaker Pelosi's rejection of the Republican nominees to serve on the committee and self-appointment of members who share her pre-conceived narrative will not yield a serious investigation, according to The Hill. Offering a further assessment with which most objective observers would agree, the lawmaker declared that the makeup of the committee is designed to do little more than "satsify [Pelosi's] political objectives."

I just got paid $8500 working off my computer this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $8k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less.

It has been a long time coming but Audi has finally delivered the second generation of its latest SUV, the Q7 By the way, it's a huge step up.
IT HAS been a long time coming but the Audi Q7 has finally delivered the second generation of its large SUV, taking on rivals such as the BMW X5 and upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLE. By the way, it's a huge step up.
An all-new version of Audi's biggest, most expensive SUV. The Q7 was conceived in 2006 and has received facelifts in that time but has been forced to soldier on against far fresher rivals.
Audi unleashed the media on its new Audi Q7 in Switzerland and Wheels was there for the ride.
The two biggies are the Mercedes-Benz ML (soon to be GLE, with the arrival of a major update late in 2015) and sales-leading BMW X5. The upcoming new Volvo XC90 will also lob directly in Q7 territory. The Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg could also be on the cross-shopper's list.
A huge leap over the outgoing Q7, especially in refinement and comfort. And while it has undergone a massive diet, it's still a sizeable seven-seater with generous space and a hig- quality feel.
TO SAY it's been a long time between Q7 drinks is an understatement. It was 2006 that Audi's flagship SUV headed to the Aussie outback for an ambitious journey from Sydney to Broome, through the red centre.
Since then rivals from Mercedes-Benz and BMW have been replaced with completely fresh metal, the Audi only tweaked and touched-up. But Q7 take two is here, almost.
In this bigger-is-better world the Q7 has taken the opposite approach and shed 37 millimetres in length and 15mm in width. There was plenty to lose, and at 5052mm long and 1968mm wide Audi's biggest Q car is still significantly longer and wider than the Mercedes ML (4803mm/1926mm) and BMW X5 (4886mm/1938mm).
It's also a featherweight compared with the outgoing model, shedding up to 325kg. It's a big car, then. Practical too, with Australian versions picking up the third row of seats that takes capacity to seven.
Even with those seats in place there's a modicum of boot space for some well-stocked soft bags; fold the seats with the press of a button and there's a vast, flat floor.
It's a spacious cabin and one that pampers adults in the middle row. That centre pew slides fore and aft to allow compromises for luggage or the sixth and seventh on board, while the 40/20/40 split-fold allows for any shape Ikea can muster.
Shame some hidey holes for phones and other gizmos are light-on, limited to the cupholders and a shallow tray - unless you delve into the broad covered console.
Initially the Q7 will arrive solely with a 200kW version of a heavily revised version of the familiar 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel. Power and torque have jumped 20kW and 50Nm respectively to a hearty 200kW and 600Nm.
Teamed to an eight-speed ZF auto - complete with plasticky paddle shifters on the back of the wheel (a rare drop in otherwise excellent tactility throughout) - it's a grunty combination, and one that typically gets the job done without the need to venture beyond D.
Snaking up the steep, narrow Swiss roads into nose-bleed territory does little to halt progress; having the full 600Nm on tap from 1500rpm makes light work of grades. While a feisty petrol V8 would be more fun, the V6 diesel is beautifully suited to the Q7's demeanour.
However, a little enthusiasm comprehensively kicks the claimed (and class-leading) 5.9 litres per 100km fuel use over the craggy hills. We saw almost double that on a spirited alpine route, but it settled into single digits during more gentle operation.
But it's the refinement that's the headline act in the Q7. The engine is deceptively smooth and hushed, right down to the subtle stop-start system. Other noises are well contained, too; there's no suspension clunking and little wind noise.
The ride completes the cushy, comfortable theme. Our car was running on optional 21-inch wheels with Goodyear rubber mated to optional air suspension, yet it was plush and supple, dealing ably with small city bumps or more strenuous mid-corner lumps.
Vigilant Aussie councils will do a better job than their Swiss counterparts when it comes to mismatched bitumen, potholes and sub-standard maintenance, but it's difficult to imagine the Q7 getting overly flustered.
At the same time there's enough dynamic nous to pique the interest of those more into the journey than the destination. Excellent high-speed stability and a relaxed, confident nature is reasserted with impressive cornering grip.
Fire enthusiastically into a hairpin and it ultimately push its nose wide as the Goodyears fight to redirect two tonnes. But the optional four-wheel steering system helps nudge the tail around if you're below 40km/h (it also reduces the turning circle by one metre; above 40km/h the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the fronts for added high speed stability).
None of this comes cheap. Think $103,900. Then again it's well appointed, with sat-nav, leather, tri-zone air, digital radio and 19s. But options quickly add up, and it would be good to see thinks like auto emergency braking fitted standard. The air suspension adds $4950 to the sticker, too, while fancy removable tablets for those in the rear are just shy of $3k a side. Ouch.
Thankfully the utterly convincing luxury should soothe just about any bill shock.


Burnley FC stars Jack Cork, Chris Wood and Adam Legzdins, alongside the Mayor of Pendle, Councillor David Whalley, were on hand to officially re-open Burnley FC in the Community's (BFCitC) Whitehough Outdoor Centre .
the Burnley FC first team stars and the Mayor unveiled the plaque that officially signalled Whitehough's reopening before taking a tour of the entire facility, which was leased, refurbished and reopened to local communities by BFCitC late last year, having been mothballed two years earlier by council chiefs due to austerity measures.
Cork, Wood and Legzdins also met children from local primary schools Castercliff Primary Academy and Pendle Primary Academy, who were enjoying activities at Whitehough with BFCitC's outdoor education providers, Outdoor Elements.
Jack Cork said: "It's been brilliant to come up to Whitehough today andcheck out all the work BFCitC have done to breathe new life into this superb facility.
"We've really enjoyed getting stuck into the activities so I'm sure this will be so valuable to countless numbers of local young people.
Councillor Whalley, the Mayor of Pendle, said: "I feel very privileged to open the new Whitehough Outdoor Centre which has a new lease of life thanks to Burnley FC in the Community and Pendle Council is pleased to support their efforts and help promote the new centre far and wide.
"I was one of the generations of Pendle schoolchildren who stayed at Whitehough and it was a great experience.
Whitehough Outdoor Centre is a 22-acre site based up in the beautiful Pendle countryside that can sleep up to 90 people.
Accommodating both small and large groups, the facility includes two classrooms, a large dining room, an extensive camping field, dormitories with amenities and shower blocks, a 40-seater conference suite and a lodge that can sleep up to 16 people.
2018 marks the 80th anniversary of Whitehough, which has prompted BFCitC to launch the 80 Years of Whitehough project.
As a part of this project, the charity is looking for people who have previously visited Whitehough to send their memories of the facility.

A GATUN LAKE IGUANA, THE GIANT LIZARD OF THE SOUTH, MUCH PRIZED BY NATIVES FOR FOOD the contraction of such contagious dis eases, threatening all the great ports of the world and resulting in a quarantine that might disrupt commercial intercourse for months. A CASE IN POINT Our experiences in this respect were suggestive. At no time in Gatun or other government towns were mosquitoes no ticeable, since thickets had been cleared, the swamps drained or sprayed, and every precaution taken against the presence of insect life or their intrusion into dwell ings. When the house-boat was anchored in the lagoons it was equally well pro tected against mosquitoes, besides we had little fear of fever when not near native villages. But at the plantation on the Trocha were half a dozen laborers, and we were frequently bitten by malarial mosquitoes when coming through the clearing at dusk or when taking a refreshing bath off the boat after a hot day's work. All three of us developed malaria on or after leaving the Isthmus, and as we learned later that the white manager of the plan- tation had been taken to the Gatun Hos pital, a week before our arrival, suffering from a severe case of fever, it seems quite certain that we were only an addi tional link in the chain of dissemination. ENLARGE TIE LAKE ZONE In a communication recently received from a former canal commissioner, who was in charge at the time the Hay-Varilla Treaty was being negotiated, he wrote: "What you say of the dangers arising from the lack of control by the United States to the lands adjoining the margin of Lake Gatun and outside the Canal Zone is not exaggerated. When the width of the zone was fixed at 10 miles, from ocean to ocean, the plans did not con template the construction of the dam at Gatun, but at Bohio, and the resulting lake would have been much smaller had that plan been carried out. The necessity has become greater as the area of the lake has become greater. . . "Until we have a lesson of experience in one or more elements of danger, I fear that opposition will develop more strength than can be overcome. So far as the


In 2010 I understand that a survey of 120,000 Canterbury residents was undertaken asking about the sacking ECan representatives, when democracy will return to Canterbury and water issues.
As per the OIA I am a NZ resident.
I note that original request regarding the Total Costs and Outcome of 2010 Survey regarding ECan Sacking has not been acknowledged or responded to. I will remind you that a response is due as soon as possible and no later than 18/11/15.
Thank you for your email - I apologise an acknowledgement was not sent to you.
I can confirm a response will be with you within the next few days.
I would remind you that information is deemed to held even if it is merely known by officers of the organisation. It does not seem very believable that the information I've requested is not known by anyone within your organisation given it was discussed within Cabinet and I am led to believe documentation was tabled.
I will be making an complaint to the Ombudsman about your refusal but I would ask that you reconsider your position prior to this.
In determining in what capacity the information is held, I would of thought that if the Leader of the National Party had shared the information with the Office of the Prime Minister, then the Office of the Prime Minister would now hold that information.
The survey may well have been funded out of the Leader's budget, but that in itself is not determinative.
What are the factors that one would consider here?

CDC mask guidance receives criticism for potentially causing an increase of COVID-19 cases
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) new guidance telling fully vaccinated Americans they can stop wearing masks indoors could inadvertently lead to an increase in infections in workplaces and elsewhere, doctors warn.
The CDC adjusted its mask guidance last week, saying that fully vaccinated individuals did not have to wear a mask indoors in most settings.
Dr Jeffrey Duchin, a member of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, criticized the order for potentially causing confusion among Americans.
'It was unexpected and lacked needed context for implementation by state and local public health community,' he said during a press briefing Thursday.
The CDC released guidance last week allowing for fully vaccinated Americans to safely remove their masks in a majority of indoor settings.
Dr Anthony Fauci (left) is among a group of doctors and health officials that have criticized recent CDC guidance, saying that its unclear nature could lead to many unvaccinated individuals ditching their masks. CDC Director Dr Rochelle Walensky (right) defended her agency's guidance on Wednesday, saying, 'We are following the science each and every day'
Dr Duchin fears that the new guidance will not be properly implemented across the country due to its hasty release, and that it will cause the virus to uncontrollably spread in some communities.
'There was no information on how to apply the guidance in practice, particularly related to the inability to verify vaccination status,' he said.
'What the CDC did though was sub-optimal and allowed for misimpression that the mask mandates have been lifted.'
Health officials believe that vaccinated people are safe to remove their masks in indoor spaces, as the vaccine has been proven effective in combating the spread of COVID-19.
The guidance from the CDC is not entirely clear, though, and some may misinterpret it as the agency saying it is safe for all Americans to remove masks, no matter their vaccine status.
The concern is that people who are not yet fully vaccinated will see others with their masks off, remove their own, and put those around them at risk – especially without the requirement of proof of vaccination.
'Now the risk of COVID-19 spread is increased in crowded indoor spaces with unvaccinated people and especially with poor ventilation,' Dr. Duchin said.
'[The guidance] could lead to increased risk in public spaces and workplaces with preventable Covid-19 spread primarily among the unvaccinated.'
Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said earlier this week that he also fears the guidance will be misinterpreted by many.
Dr Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, defended her agency's guidance during an appearance on CNBC's The News with Shepard Smith on Wednesday.
'These issues are complex, the science is evolving, the science is moving, and we are following the science each and every day and our guidance is evolving as the science evolves,' she said.
While the CDC can release guidance for local officials and businesses across the country, individual states, municipalities and private businesses set mask mandates as they see fit.
Guidance from the CDC often informs the mask orders.
For example, after the CDC guidance, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced that his state would lift mask mandates for vaccinated people before Memorial Day weekend in his state.
Some states do not have mask mandates for anyone, no matter the vaccine status.
Vaccine status is often on an honor system as well, with there being little way to prove whether or not someone has received it yet.
Many businesses and other entities may not even bother to check vaccine status.
Vaccine passports, official documentation of vaccine status a person can use to enter businesses or travel, have been a topic of contention in recent months.
Many states, like Florida, have put an outright ban on vaccine passports.
New York has launched a virtual vaccine passport, the Excelsior Pass, though its use is not mandatory in the state.
The pass is intended to be an option for organizations throwing large events, such as concerts or sporting events.
White House officials have said that there are no plans to create a federal level vaccine passport system.
Lack of an ability for businesses to verify the vaccine status of customers would make it near impossible for them to properly enforce mask mandates on only those who have are not vaccinated.
The United States seems to be beyond its worst days of COVID-19, with case rates dropping across the country.
Much of the recent success can be attributed to the vaccines.
About 60 percent of American adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine, with over a third of the country being fully vaccinated, per CDC data.
Dr. Fauci said earlier this week that future surges of the virus can be prevented once 70 percent of the country receives at least one shot of the vaccine, a target he thinks is attainable by July 4.

The Berkshires are looking fine today, even in heavy rain. For the last week, I've been a guest at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts, the summer home of the Boston Symphony and the site of the distinguished Tanglewood Music Center, a graduate-level fellowship program for singers and instrumentalists. I'm an alumnus of the TMC, and this year I was invited to be a curator for the annual Festival of Contemporary Music, which for the last few decades has featured a generous helping of composers, mostly American, over five days of programs. The other curators are violist Nadia Sirota, who played wonderfully on the recent ICE Marcos Balter disc, and Kathryn Bates, the cellist of San Francisco's distinguished Del Sol Quartet.
What better opportunity to bring all your friends and trusted colleagues to such a prestigious venue? There will be a sizable contingent of ICE folks here, including some members of the group and some of our favorite composers. I'm performing also, which unfortunately means that I can't take part in ICE's Mostly Mozart. But there will be plenty to do with the Tanglewood festival. My concert is on Thursday, August 10, at 8 PM. For ICE fans who are interested, you can come and still get back to New York to see The Dark Mirror at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater!
Each of the curators was entrusted to build a chamber music program with a particular focus, and my program will feature keyboards and voices. There are two premieres on this concert, by Anthony Cheung and Nathan Davis. Anthony's piece, All thorn, but cousin to your rose, is for voice and piano, and it's a hilarious setting of various texts and poetry by Vladimir Nabokov, all about the impossibility of literary translation. It ends with a passage from Nabokov's own translation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin. The Sand Reckoner, Nathan's work, is for six solo voices and obbligato celeste, with electronics—an unusual combination of forces by any measure, and Nathan brings out the beauty and strangeness of it. The piece sets texts by Archimedes on early hypotheses of measuring the grains of sand on the seashore; this leads to a wider discussion of ancient cosmology. Nathan also provides commentary through passages from the Wycliffe Bible and William Blake, both of which deepen the exploration of the central metaphor of sand and the vastness of the universe.
The rest of the program has many pieces that I first got to know through ICE. Phyllis Chen will join me here for her Chimers, first played by ICE at Mostly Mozart. Yesterday morning, I set up the piece for the Fellows that are performing it, and coached the session. I also brought Phyllis's unique instruments up to Tanglewood from New York: a toy piano, a set of toy piano tines (metal bars), a toy glockenspiel, and a tiny Radio Shack speaker, which is crucial to the sound of the piece. The Fellows quickly took to the piece, and learned one of the key elements of an ICE chamber performance: how to conduct internally within the group. We practiced the elusive art of head-conducting, which emulates conducting patterns while the players still look forward and play their instruments.
I take for granted things that are second nature for members of ICE. Leading and following from within a chamber group takes skill, insight, and a lot of patience. One of the heavier pieces on my program, Sofia Gubaidulina's Meditation on a Bach Chorale, needs actual conducting, passed among members of the group, to make the piece's very slow pulse felt by everyone. When ICE played this piece at Mostly Mozart a few seasons ago, we arrived at the conducting system by trial and error; I tried to save time with the Fellows by prescribing a plan, but with the aim of making the leading and following organic to the piece's expressive shape. I've also coached the harpsichordist to make the most of the Tanglewood harpsichord's registration, coupling the manuals when necessary and seeing what interesting combinations of strings are possible.
Tony Arnold, my frequent song recital partner and a member of ICE, has been on the Tanglewood faculty this summer, and she has been actively advising some of these pieces. Tony is an expert on the vocal music of György Kurtág; she and I worked together with Kurtág when he coached us at the Darmstadt Summer Courses. Kurtág, a brilliant and intuitive pianist, knew what he was doing when he wrote for piano and voice. The textures, always transparent yet thorny, illuminate the tortured world of the poetry: here, it is Dostoevsky and ancient religious inscriptions. The tenor and baritone that are singing these songs have already undergone quite a journey, working with Kurtág's unique notation, and warming to the hyper-sensitive, concentrated expression that defines the composer's work.
George Lewis, whose album The Will to Adorn ICE released in January, is represented by his amazing piece Anthem, for voice and small ensemble with sound playback. Kate Soper, who premiered the piece with the Wet Ink Ensemble, will be singing; the rest of the players have thrown themselves into the fray with abandon. George's piece involves the fifth keyboard instrument that I'm using on this program, a sampler that triggers electronics that are both atmospheric and comic. Also, ICE saxophonist Ryan Muncy joins me here just to play this piece!
It will be a delight to see so many of the composers here and watch as they assist to bring their creations to life in this beautiful setting. It feels good to bring so much of what I've learned in ICE about repertoire and performance practice to a crop of younger, extremely talented performers. If one is going to be away from ICE for a short while, Tanglewood is a pretty good place to spend the weeks of the late summer.

Sol Campbell waiting to hear on Grimsby job: 'If they give it to me, I'll be ecstatic'
Sol Campbell says he is prepared to 'start from the bottom again' to get his managerial career going.
Sol Campbell says he is waiting to hear back about the Grimsby job as he searches for a way into football management.
Former England international Campbell recently called himself "one of football's greatest minds" and has been active in stating his desire to land a job.
Grimsby said they would talk to him with regard to replacing Russell Slade and he says has spoken to the League Two strugglers.
The 43-year-old, who has also been in contact with Oxford about their managerial vacancy, had a brief spell last year as Trinidad and Tobago's assistant boss but has no previous experience as a first-team manager.
Speaking about the Grimsby position, Campbell said: "It's up to them now. They are probably talking to other people, naturally.
"And if they give it to me, I'll be ecstatic; if they give it to someone [else] I'll be over the moon.
"Good luck to whoever gets it but I have to keep on going, that's all you can do really.
"I've spoken to Oxford and spoken to Grimsby Town so I'm going to see what happens."
Campbell was vastly experienced as a player. The ex-Tottenham and Arsenal centre-back won 73 international caps, played at three World Cups and three European Championships, as well as winning two Premier League titles and four FA Cups.
He believes he is ready for his first managerial role but feels it could take some time to secure a position, even in the lower leagues.
"It's never going to be easy and I totally understand that," Campbell said while at Thursday's London Football Awards.
"I'm building a new career, I have had an amazing career but I'm starting from the bottom again and I'm willing to learn, willing to roll my sleeves up, willing to be humble and hopefully that chance will come and I'll take it.
"If it's a day a week, I'll take that, if it's full-time, I'll take that.
"I think I'm open-minded with all things in life, but I'm ready, that's the main thing, ready to cut my teeth and I'll have to patient."

Nice one! I have an old Elgin Rotary machine that needs a new motor and wiring and my husband is taking it apart to see what can be done with it. Not sure of the age, it has a #AAE 66543 on it and is in a cabinet, too. Such fun with these old machines!
Beautiful old machine for sure. I've never seen one with those decals. Your paper clip 'darning foot' brought something to mind. I now must hunt for a wire spiral spring I have somewhere. The paper with it said was to connect to the machine for mending. Never tried to use it and could work with my Singer 99.
A paper clip – I am so impressed with your ingenuity! Love your new machine. Does s/he have a name? It looks brand new. Have fun seeing on it. And Teddy is as cute as ever.
Beautiful machine, mine is not in near that good of condition. Hope you are abe to find a cabinet to put her in.
Now you are AMAZING! I wouldn't have thought of using a paper clip; but, yes, it is the perfect solution and so affordable as well! Your new machine is a beauty. I'm glad that she purrs when she runs. She is probably happy to be working again!
🙂 I think it is!
Its a beautiful machine Tim. I bought a Pinnock just before Christmas, one owner, made in 1963. I love it. The lady who owned it had been using it up till a couple of weeks before I bought it. It is a real piece of engineering and weighs a LOT!. When asked why i was driving all that way to buy a 1963 sewing machine all I could say was "Because it is green". They just wouldnt have understood.
I like the 'outside the box thinking' re the quilting foot invention.
Say hello to Teddy for me.
I love that you can find out the age of your singer. I have a 66 that came off the line in 1944, making it 6 years younger than I am (I am 77). Our closeness in age must be why we get along so well!
You really are a Renaissance man, handy with a needle, a paintbrush, a border spade and now with sewing machine motors and manufacturing your own darning foot. Do be sure to let us know how you go with that last one!
Teddy, in this picture it's your nose that I love most. Which is saying a lot since all your parts are stunning. Do not get near Tim when he has a hand full of paperclips.
Hi Tim, your new old Singer is gorgeous,I am sure you will enjoy using her!
It is fun to use!
So clever to use a paper clip for a darning foot! Who would have thought. Hello back to Teddy.
I watch a lot of period pieces on TV and found it odd that sewing machines were placed in living rooms. Maybe it was a status symbol to own one and maybe that is why your new one is so decorative. It really is a piece of art.
I like the machine very much. My mother had a motor put on the Singer treadle machine we had when I was a girl. It was a 1925 model. I'm telling you that was an awesome machine. Teddy looks so sweet, give him a scratch behind the ear for me.
Thankyou for showing how to find the date of a sewing machine. I checked the hand machine that my mother made my baby-clothes on, and it is exactly the same age as I am, made here in England just before the 2nd world war. So poignant.
Those decals look like they're in great shape. How did you get that paper clip attached? That's amazing. The snowball blocks look good.
That's paperclip trick is pretty neat. It's hard to sew anything other than straight lines on these older machines. Nice work!
