All systems go for Langley renewal despite cash fears
Langley's multi-million pound regeneration will continue – even if the government demands cuts from the programme. Sustainable Communities Director Steve Bloomer said the scheme was in a position to move forward even if public funding for the project is reduced.
BOWNESS Road shops: set for major remodelling.
Langley's multi-million pound regeneration will continue – even if the government demands cuts from the programme.
Sustainable Communities Director Steve Bloomer said the scheme was in a position to move forward even if public funding for the project is reduced.
It comes after the government ordered the Homes and Communities Agency, who lead the Housing Market Renewal (HMR) schemes nationally, to cut £50m from the overall budget.
Mr Bloomer said: "We said from the beginning that this was always going to be a 10 to 15 year programme of regeneration for Langley, and we knew things such as funding was going to change over that period.
"We always envisaged that as the project went on and the area developed there would be less need for public money and more from the private sector.
"It would not make sense for the scheme to be stopped at the minute as a lot of time and money has gone into building the estate up, improving its reputation, getting sites ready and getting developers interested in what is going on."
Mr Bloomer said they were now planning to approach developers with four 'priority' development sites before the end of the year. They hope to appoint a development partner before next April so work can begin on land that has been cleared and prepared for new homes.
Those sites include two areas within Willow Park, Bonscale Park and the central core area. Three of the sites – the two within Willow Park and Bonscale Park – are largely green space, and developing them would result in reduction of parkland.
But according to Mr Bloomer, the quality of open space is more important than the quantity of it, saying: "With these sites we would want developers to build around the perimeter. That way there is still an open space in the middle, but it would be of high quality. Developers also want green space like this as it attracts buyers."
Three of the priority areas have required the demolition of 23 homes and flattening the former Langley Primary School, but in the main they are already largely open spaces.
The three Langley tower blocks, which have now been demolished and the site levelled, previously occu-pied half of the site.
The shops on Lakeland Court also form part of this priority area and the team are keen to bring in a developer with a commercial arm to develop this site.
"If you look at all the empty shops on Lakeland Court it is obvious there is too much retail space there at the moment," added Mr Bloomer. "There is also a problem with parking – there isn't enough and it's too far away.
"A recent retail survey suggested that the site would be successful with fewer units than are there now, retaining the core activities such as mini-market, bookies, chip shop, chemist etc."
Preparing the masterplan for development has taken years to acquire properties and demolish them. This work and the lack of new building work have led residents to question what is actually being done.
"It is this side of it which really takes the time," said Mr Bloomer. "We also had to take the collapse of the housing market, which no one foresaw, into account. But what we have now are four sites which we are ready to go to market with as the housing market picks up.
"There is still an issue with people getting mortgages to buy the homes, but the demand for land from developers to build is still there."
Hundreds of new houses could be built on the four priority sites over the coming years while work continues to get more sites ready for market.
These include an area between Windermere Road and Burnside Crescent, the area around the former Library and Community Centre along Martindale Crescent and land behind and next to the Bowness Road shops.
Other workwill start later this month when two new 'gateways' are built along Lee Street and between Langley Lane and Bonscale Crescent.
One of the proposals is to remove two empty shops and the flats above the Bowness Road shops.
In the longer term these would be demolished and a new retail space developed, but in the meantime, Mr Bloomer said it was important to carry on improving the area.
He said: "We have worked hard to improve how the estate looks. One of the first things we did was to improve the boundaries along the main routes to the estate. Doing things like that improves how an area looks, makes people feel prouder of where they live and more likely to maintain it and makes it an area where people want to live. In all the sites we have cleared we are careful to fence them off so they don't become hot spots for fly-tipping. We don't want to have to be coming to them every day to sort out problems. It is a long term programme and these sites could lie like that for many years, so they need to be presentable."
While no building work has started yet on the four priority development areas, building company Lovell is continuing work around the Windermere Park area.
On one area Kickstart funding has been used to start building 50 homes for sale and rent. Across the road, building is continuing without any government funding.
It is this confidence from a private developer to continue to work on Langley which will be key to maintaining momentum if government funding is reduced.
The area around Windermere Park is also part of Mr Bloomer's aim to create genuinely sustainable estate.
"The aim is not to be able to tell which is private and which is social housing," said Mr Bloomer. "You can't do that in a contrived way, for example having them every second house. But you want to create a situation where they are naturally mixed in together."
One area where that has been achieved is at the top the estate around Langley Lane. The Brooklands development shows how the mix of private and social housing can work and acts as a platform to develop other areas of the estate in similar ways.

'HER WORST NIGHTMARE'
Donald Trump says 'confused' Nancy Pelosi will be toppled by the 'radical left' after her failed impeachment bid
Jon Lockett
7:46 ET, Feb 3 2020
Updated: 8:56 ET, Feb 3 2020
PRESIDENT Trump believes Nancy Pelosi will be toppled by the "radical left" in the wake of the failed impeachment bid.
He described the Speaker of the House as a "confused" and "nervous woman" whose days now seem numbered.
President Trump's claims came in his pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox NewsCredit: Fox News

Speaking of the impeachment, Trump said: "I don't think she wanted to do this. I think she really knew what was going to happen, and her worst nightmare has happened.
"I don't think she's going to be there too long either. I think the radical left is going to take over."
Last week it was reported Trump is poised to be acquitted after the Senate voted against allowing witnesses at his impeachment trial by 51 votes to 49.
The president also told Fox News' Sean Hannity about the personal toll the multiple investigations into his time in office have taken on him.
He said: "Well, it's been very unfair. From the day I won ... from the day I came down from the escalator. ... it probably started from there.
"It's been a very, very unfair process. The Mueller Report, Russia, Russia, Russia, as you say, which was total nonsense - it was all nonsense, the whole thing.
Trump told Hannity that Bloomberg asked for a box to stand on for the Democratic debatesCredit: Fox News
"It was very unfair, and mostly it was unfair to my family. I mean, my family suffered because of all this. And many other families suffered also."
During the revealing interview he also claimed "little" billionaire Mike Bloomberg asked to stand on a box for the recent Democratic debates.
Bloomberg's team fired back and branded Trump a "liar" after the claims aired on his pre-Super Bowl interview.
When describing Bloomberg, Trump said: "I think he's little" and claimed he asked for a box to stand on for the debates.
"You know, now he wants a box for the debates to stand on. It's OK. There's nothing wrong. You can be short.
The President continued: "Why should he get a box to stand on. He wants a box for the debates. Why should he be entitled to that, really? Does that mean everyone else gets a box?'

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is 5ft 8in and Trump is 6ft 3in.
Trump added: "Cory Booker and all these people couldn't get all the things that Bloomberg's getting now.
"But, I think it's very unfair for the Democrats. But I would love to run against Bloomberg. I would love it."
Trump even shared a tweet Sunday. It read: "Mini Mike is part of the Fake News."
Bloomberg's National Press Secretary Julie Wood fired back after the eight-minute footage aired.
She said: "The president is lying. He is a pathological liar who lies about everything: his fake hair, his obesity, and his spray-on tan."
Trump also commented on the Hillary Clinton email scandal, saying: "How she got away with that is a disgrace."

When describing Bernie Sanders, he said: "I think of communism when I think of Bernie."
The interview concluded with Trump called sports "a microcosm of life."
"You have winners, you have champions, great coaches like Belichick, people you expect to see more out of, and often times they produce."

Leftovers don't have to be drab. Use extra ham in this classic sandwich.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, turning to coat well.
3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. When butter is foamy, add the sandwiches, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Serve immediately, dusted with confectioners' sugar.
Is it truly a Monte Cristo without the jam and turkey? While this one tastes good, its even better with the jam (our favorites are strawberry or raspberry) and the turkey. That's how I've had them in restaurants too.
we love this sandwich and we made it on rye bread today because that's what we had on hand...but its a little too soft to stand up to being egg dipped. i also sometimes include a thin sliced granny smith apple to add to the complexity. we drizzled our with warm maple syrup instead of sugar.
This sandwich was absolutely delicious! I really loved the combination of all the different flavors. I did stray from the original recipe by using deli ham AND deli turkey. In addition to dusting the sandwich with powdered sugar, we also dipped them in raspberry jam. I had gotten that idea from reading other recipes for Monte Cristo sandwiches on the internet, and it definitely improved it. I loved the contrast between the sweet sugar and jam with the tart/tangy mustard. DE-lish!

To clarify a bit more, I do not want to concatenate. I am including a picture of sample data. Using the sample data as a reference point, I would essentially like to take all this data and combine into a separate workbook as follows:

*

*Combine column A with BU, B with BV and so forth.

*Pull all the data from Column A and put into new workbook Column A

*Pull column BU data and place underneath column A data in new workbook column A

*Do the same with B and BV and so forth

Hope that clarifies it a bit more.

Sheryl Crow writes song about Kid Rock Senate run
posted by Josie Lane - Jul 31, 2017
In case you were wondering, Kid Rock was absolutely not kidding when he said he was going to run for senate.
Because of their political differences, someone thought Sheryl Crow would take exception to this and tweeted out "Sheryl Crow would be rolling in her grave".
Sheryl was pretty surprised and responded with "Dude. I'm still alive."
Like a true songwriter, she decided the statement sounded cool enough to merit it's own song (and it's hilarious).
She namechecks everyone, from Gloria Gaynor to Jeff Sessions.
Turns out to be kind of a jam and she's provided lyrics if you'd like to sing along. lol

Recently, I was engaged in a thought-provoking and reflective discussion on the value of human friendships in contrast to our reliance on Jesus Christ as a friend. It is a conversation we rarely have with others – even our Christian brothers and sisters. But, how do we wrap our head around the value of our human friends with the reality of our friendship with Jesus? Is it possible to truly develop a friendship with Jesus, and what does that look like? Here's a peek at the conversation I had this week on the subject. Perhaps my ponderings will spark a fire of desire in your life to go deeper in your relationships – both with friends and with Jesus!
The first question posed was this – Does God really meet your needs fully - more than people?
Yes! God meeting my needs is a non-issue for me. (My wants, that is a different story, but often God goes above and beyond what I could ever dream of!) With that said, God often uses people to confirm his will in my life along with his Word. However, His Word is my guiding light (the cake) and confirmation through people (friendships, music, books) are the extra blessings (the icing, if you will). Ultimately, my needs must be met by my Savior. He is all I really need. He is a gracious God, however, and often uses people to encourage and direct me along the way. It is easy to get the balance wrong though – putting our day-to-day faith in people, and then confirming their thoughts with God's Word.
My inquirer continued - Do you ever feel let down by God?
God's timing is perfect. I have learned (am learning) how to wait in Him. The times I thought God was distant was because I walked away or because my timing and will were not God's will in a situation. It is in the dark times and valleys of desperation when my faith roots have grown deeper. I learned to depend on the truth of scripture and God's all-knowing, ever-present, ever-powerful work in my life - and in the lives of those I love. In this reality, my prayer life grew exponentially and continues to grow to this day. In my humanity and sinfulness, I continue to seek God's will in my life and continue to learn to trust Him as I wait. And when his will becomes evident and the blessings come, I am humbled that the God of the universe cares about even the littlest details in life - and shows himself to be faithful over and over again!
Now, my colleague digs in a bit deeper – If you lost everything, like Job, wouldn't you feel lonely?
But what about this scenario they asked – The Jews who lived in the death camps faced disease, persecution and despair. Could God fill that need too?
Yes, God could fill that need as well. In trying to consider this reality and what my response might be, my mind goes to Corrie Ten Boom. I could only suffer such atrocities, in faith, with the strength and intervention of the Holy Spirit being the only thing to carry me. So, I say this in the hope of Christ, that He would sustain me as he did for Corrie and countless others throughout history who have suffered beyond what I can comprehend. It is my understanding that Corrie's book, The Hiding Place, was based on Psalm 119:114. "You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word." Oh to have the hope of Christ and to find my everything in Him as Corrie did. That would be my prayer. And, yes, God did provide her with comfort from time to time – through human interaction and in other amazing ways.
The below quotes from Corrie also sum up what I would hope I too could experience if faced with such tragedy and trauma.
Jesus, He is all we truly need!


Factual error: There is a picture of Elvis in Jacy Farrow's bedroom. The film depicts a small Texas town in 1951 to 1952. Elvis' first recording was in 1953 and he did not become famous by any sense of the word before 1954.
Factual error: The movie takes place in 1951 and 1952, but Jacy's parents were driving a 1953 Cadillac convertible. Dagmars (bumper bullets) are apparent on this car and they were introduced in 1953.


Channel Tunnel - How is Channel Tunnel abbreviated?
According to La Voix du Nord newspaper, the boy is the 12th person to have died in or around the Channel Tunnel in France since June.
The sale of the 110-km High Speed 1 (HS1) line, which links central London to the Channel Tunnel, will be the first major British transport infrastructure sale since airport operator BAA sold London's Gatwick airport late last year.
With the production of scaremongering pamphlets such as How John Bull Lost London, describing the tunnel being invaded by hordes of French soldiers, work was stopped in 1883 by the Channel Tunnel Defence Committee on the grounds of national security.
Hatch Mott MacDonald has more than 50 years of experience in North America and is a world leader in planning, design, and construction supervision of major high-speed rail and tunneling projects including the Taiwan High-Speed Rail Project and the Channel Tunnel.

South East Galvanizers is currently working on three prestigious, high-profile contracts in the London area in partnership with its customer, Pipecentre--namely, the latest phase of the Channel Tunnel rail link, the new Arsenal FC football stadium at Highbury and an extension to the Underground line for Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport.
A NEW refugee camp near the Channel Tunnel shows ministers are losing a grip on immigration, Tories claim.
Given the depressing, defeatist history of Britain's railways over the last half-century and more, it is a most cheering sight to see the new Channel Tunnel rail link leap across the Medway, but the structure that carries it is scarcely distinguishable from, and no more inspiring than, the adjacent bridge that carries the M2.
Six years ago, the first margarine fire that I'm aware of occurred, called the English Channel Tunnel Fire.
PLANS by the French government to open a second refugee camp near Calais would be "disastrous", Channel Tunnel operator Eurotunnel said today.

Many Faces, One Africa
Sigauque Project:
With musical influences spanning across the continent - from a new take on marrabenta to Senegalese mbalakh and Nigerian afro-beat, and even samba, with some smooth sounding jazz thrown in the mix, Maputo-based band Sigauque Project is a pan-African musical journey. With two singers and a full horn section, backed by throbbing bass and rhythmic percussion, this 13-person performance is not to be missed. Most Sigauque Project songs were originally created and recorded by CMFD Productions as part of media for social change projects across the continent. Musicians against Xenophobia (Sigaouke, Sinjengomfula), brought musicians from Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa together in Johannesburg to produce four songs about xenophobia and discrimination. The Humbanane album (Switha Hela, Andiyiqondi, Alertos Da Vida) accompanied Khuluma Africa!, a live theatrical production in South Africa's mining communities raising awareness about human trafficking and women's rights. Other songs were produced as theme music for serial radio dramas broadcast across the continent. Crossroads (Kenya), Caminhos Cruzados (Mozambique), and Les Pistes Croisées (Senegal) are regional variations to theme music for Crossroads, the story an old, corrupt police chief and a market women who switch bodies, for a hilarious insight into gender and women's rights in Africa. Sigauque project sings in English, French, Portuguese, Zulu, Changaan, Sena, and Swahili, - making the music relevant to the diverse Diaspora community More info: http://www.cmfd.org

Electives and Extracurriculars
TJ's electives and extracurricular activities enhance your child's educational experience.
Building Confidence and Critical Skills
Through extracurricular activities and electives at TJ, your child builds confidence and self-esteem while also learning important skills, such as time management, teamwork, and problem-solving.
From participating in spelling bees in Lower School to competing on the Middle School and Upper School scholar bowl teams, your child has opportunities to get involved outside of the classroom to enhance the overall educational journey at TJ.
See tabs below for extracurricular activities and examples of elective classes available to your child at each grade level.
Middle School students enroll in two electives: one that meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and one that meets Tuesday and Thursday. These are semester-long courses. Students have an opportunity to select second-semester electives before the winter break.
Upper School students enroll in two electives: one that meets during 5th period four days a week, and one that meets during 8th period five days a week.
Please see the Curriculum Guide for a complete list of electives and when they are offered throughout the school year.
For 23 of the past 24 years, TJ's Upper School Scholar Bowl team has finished in 1st Place in the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) Class I district tournament. The TJ team has won the MSHSAA State Championship in 10 of the past 13 years.
During the past several years, the TJ Middle School Scholar Bowl team has earned several tournament championships, and TJ typically fields three teams, so students in all grades can compete.
Scholar Bowl competition involves answering questions on all topics of human knowledge. The game is played with a lockout buzzer system between two teams of four or five players each. A moderator reads questions and players score points for their team by being the first to buzz in with the correct answers.
Each year, TJ students participate in the National Geographic Geography Bee, an academic competition for grades 4 through 8 that helps students improve their knowledge of geography, world cultures, physical features, history, and earth science. After winning the TJ school Geography Bee, our students take an online qualifying test. The top 100-ranked students in each state advance to the state competition. State and regional winners advance to the national championships at National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C. Millions of students in tens of thousands of schools compete each year.
The TJ Spelling Bee is open to students in grades 4-6. Five finalists from each class participate, and the school winners advance to compete against students from dozens of area schools at The Joplin Globe annual spelling bee, held at Thomas Jefferson.
Math Competitions
Each year, Thomas Jefferson students compete in numerous math competitions.

Students in grades 6-12 participate in the National Spanish Examinations (NSE) through the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. This standardized assessment tool is given by more than 3,800 teachers throughout the United States to measure achievement and proficiency of students who are studying Spanish as a second language. Our students also compete in the National Latin Exam competition, and in the Regional Kansas City Chinese Speech Contest sponsored by the University of Kansas. In all three contests, TJ students distinguish themselves by earning regional, state, and national honors, including the Premio de Oro in Spanish, and Summa cum laude in Latin – the highest national awards attainable.
Thomas Jefferson is a member in good standing in the National Honor Society. A faculty council selects members based on high standards in scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
The induction ceremony is held in the spring, and throughout the school year, students plan and execute service projects. Typical student projects include food drives, tutoring and reading sessions for younger students, recycling , and assisting TJ with communications and tours.
