We are offering a generous Masters scholarship for international students, to ensure that concerns about finance do not present a barrier to students from a selection of countries considering study at the University.
What is the Global Masters Scholarship?
With a value of £2,000 per scholarship, this award is available to all international students from a selection of countries who are seeking to study a taught Masters degree at Birmingham in the 2023/24 academic year. Eligible scholars who successfully meet the criteria will have this amount deducted from their total tuition fees owed.
Who is eligible for a Global Masters Scholarship?
In order to be eligible, candidates must meet the following requirements. You must:
Have applied for, and receive an offer of admission for, a taught Masters degree at the University of Birmingham UK campus, to study in the 2023/24 academic year.
Be classed as 'domiciled' in one of the selected countries. Please see the list below.
Be classed by the University as an overseas fee payer for tuition fee purposes.
Start your studies at the University in September/ October 2023 on a full-time course delivered at the University's UK campus.
Are there any programmes not eligible?
If you decide to defer your programme start date to September 2024, you will no longer be eligible as the scholarship is only available for programmes starting in September 2023.
Students seeking to study on a course solely delivered as a 'distance learning' programme are not eligible for this scholarship.
Students applying for programmes in the Birmingham Business School are not eligible for this scholarship but are eligible for other separate MSc and MBA scholarships offered by the Business School.
Undergraduate degree programmes including the MBChB, MEng, MSci and MPharm undergraduate programmes are not eligible.
Students studying the University of Birmingham Dubai campus are not eligible for this scholarship.
Which are the eligible countries?
This scholarship will be automatically offered to applicants who meet the criteria outlined above.
To accept the scholarship, you will need to formally accept the offer you receive from the University's Admissions Office, by the deadline stated on your offer. You can do this via the postgraduate portal.
To fully secure the scholarship, you will also be required to pay the standard £2,000 (GBP) admissions deposit by the deadline set by the Admissions Office in your offer letter. (For the purposes of this scholarship selection process, your deposit must be paid by 31 August 23:59 UK time/ GMT+1).
If you have further questions about the scholarship, please consult our Frequently Asked Questions.
We recommend that you apply for your intended programme as soon as possible to ensure you meet the eligibility for this scholarship.
For information on how to apply to our postgraduate programmes, visit our guidance pages.
Once an offer for admissions is made, candidates must meet the deadlines set by the Admissions Office (and stated in their offer letter) to 'accept' their offer and pay a deposit – this will simultaneously secure both the place on the Masters degree programme and this scholarship.
To secure this scholarship candidates must have an unconditional offer, and have accepted this unconditional offer, by 31 August (23:59 UK time/ GMT+1). If candidates secure an unconditional offer after this, they will not be eligible for this scholarship.
Please be aware that the University reserves the right to cease the scholarship offer to new applicants at any time.
Scholarships will be awarded based on the eligibility criteria outlined above and according to the application and admission process stated above. The University will make its best endeavours to input the scholarship details onto each student's CAS record for visa application purposes (this 'note' will be visible for the UKVI but not the student). The scholarship, applied as a discount to tuition fees, will be awarded/ applied upon enrolment of the successful candidate in September 2023.
Please note that eligible students who successfully secure this scholarship must have sufficient funds to cover the full cost of living at the University of Birmingham (plus any visa/travel expenses associated with studying in the UK) and must also be able to pay the outstanding tuition fees that are not covered by the scholarship.
To secure this scholarship, candidates must have completed online registration and be 'Normally Registered' by 3 October (23:59 UK time/ GMT+1). If this is not the case, the university will withdraw the scholarship. Candidates must have also paid their net tuition fees for the first year by 1 November, or have set up a payment plan and paid their first instalment.
If you withdraw from your programme of study at the University this scholarship will also be fully withdrawn, and you will be required to pay your tuition fees. The date of your withdrawal (as reported to Taught Student Administration) and the type of programme will determine the amount of tuition fee that you will be charged.
Are there any other conditions to this scholarship?
In accepting and securing this scholarship, awardees are expected to support the University, to a reasonable extent, by providing profiles testimonials and engaging in ambassadorial activities if requested by the University.

Company Vision Our History Our Team
From establishing in 1999 to overwhelming the world
Icelandic Group establishes sales/marketing offices in 1999 in Japan and in China in 2005. it evolves from Icelandic Group then only selling from Iceland to these markets. Icelandic Group dates its story back to 1942 then named Icelandic Freezing Plants Corporation or in Icelandic "Sölumiðstöð Hraðfrystihúsana". At the time, it was owned by its members and its objective was to sell their products on the basis of mutual undertakings concerning product delivery and sales. Icelandic Asia still works as mean for Icelandic fish to reach the demanding markets of Asia with its vast sales connections. It is well placed with suppliers in Iceland on one side and the demanding markets of Asia on the other.
Icelandic Asia is made up of three separate business units it has sales and marketing offices in Japan (Icelandic Japan) and China (Icelandic China) and Head office in Iceland (Icelandic Asia) in charge of supplying the two office´s sales offices.
The corporation was reformed as a limited liability company in 1996 and later listed on the Iceland Stock Exchange. In 2008, it was de-listed. The mutual obligation concerning delivery and sales was eventually discontinued and arm's length business with producers introduced in its place.
The Icelandic Asia unit was part of Icelandic Group which consisted of operation around the globe. It was sold in the end of 2015 to Brim a fishing company in Iceland which operates 4 freezing vessels in Iceland.
Fish was Iceland's most important export throughout the last century, and it remains so today. Processing at first consisted in curing and salting, but towards the middle of the century freezing was introduced and was to become a widespread alternative to the earlier processing methods as an excellent way of getting raw materials in the freshest possible state to distant markets. We are a very proud to be the part of value chain that makes Icelandic fish world known for its quality and great taste.

OnePlus 6T has received a new colour variant - Thunder Purple - as previously rumoured. Originally launched in Midnight Black and Mirror Black models late last month, the Thunder Purple variant is currently limited to China. The Chinese company launched the OnePlus 6T in China on Monday, and and gradient colour finish will only be available in the 8GB RAM/ 128GB inbuilt storage configuration. The top 8GB RAM/ 256GB storage configuration is only available in the Midnight Black colour, as is the case with the rest of the world.
Listed alongside the Mirror Black (6GB/ 128GB and 8GB/ 128GB only) and Midnight Black (8GB/ 128GB and 8GB/ 256GB only) colour variants on the OnePlus China site, the company is calling the new OnePlus 6T colour variant as Electro-optic Violet, if one goes by Google Translate. The smartphone will go on sale in China on Tuesday, November 6, priced at CNY 3,399 (roughly Rs. 35,900), CNY 3,599 (roughly Rs. 38,000), and CNY 3,999 (roughly Rs. 42,200) for the three RAM/ storage variants correspondingly.
To recall, last month the upcoming Thunder Purple colour was spotted on the company's support page and was briefly listed on Amazon Germany. As seen in previous OnePlus handsets, the Chinese manufacturer can be expected to release several colour models of its smartphone, with past offerings including Lava Red, Sandstone White, and Silk White.
The OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple colour is a gradient option with various shades, reminiscent of gradient designs popularised by Huawei smartphones.
The dual-SIM (Nano) OnePlus 6T runs OxygenOS-based on Android 9.0 Pie. It sports a 6.41-inch full-HD+ (1080x2340 pixels ) AMOLED display with an 19.5:9 aspect ratio, as well as support for sRGB (100.63 percent) and DCI-P3 colour gamuts. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6, and said to have a peak brightness of over 600 nits. It features a waterdrop-style notch, with three-in-one ambient light sensor, distance, and RGB sensor, as well as the front facing camera. The OnePlus 6T is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, coupled with either 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM.
The OnePlus 6T comes with either 128GB or 256GB of inbuilt storage, not expandable via microSD card. Connectivity options include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802ac (dual-band, 2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth v5.0, NFC, GPS/ A-GPS, and a USB Type-C (v2.0) port. The company is touting the presence of Dirac HD Sound and Dirac Power Sound support. There is a 3,700mAh battery on board with fast charge support (5V, 4A) that's said to deliver a full day of power in 30 minutes of charge, while the OnePlus 6T measures 157.5x74.8x8.2mm, weighing 185 grams.
Like the OnePlus 6, the OnePlus 6T retains a single bottom firing speaker. It also features an all-glass build, like the OnePlus 6, with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection. The in-display fingerprint sensor is claimed to unlock the smartphone in 0.34 seconds, and work with the OnePlus screen protector - the company doesn't guarantee it will work a third-party protector. The fingerprint recognition is also self-learning, said to make it faster over time when identifying the same fingerprints. The Face Unlock feature - said to unlock the smartphone in 0.4 seconds - makes its way forward from the OnePlus 6 as well.
The OnePlus 6T's Smart Boot feature that is said to improve app cold start speeds by 5 to 20 percent by caching frequently used apps - it currently will only work with gaming apps, with additional compatibility planned for the future. As before, users will be able to hide the notch on the OnePlus 6T, with a UI setting. The Gaming Mode introduced in previous versions of OxygenOS also makes its way to the smartphone. The company says that a feature that lets users activate Google Assistant by long pressing the power button will soon make its way to the handset.

"This book is my most prized possession."
I hope you've experienced the kind of joy I'm now living everyday: the joy in knowing that you're using your God-given gifts to bring glory to Him and life, light and love to others.
I believe God gives us each unique gifts and has unique plans for our lives -- and when you're using those gifts and seeking to follow His plan, amazing things happen. For more than two years now, I've been blessed to uncover gifts that I'd only dabbled with and plans that I could have barely imagined…and I'm awestruck at what is unfolding before me. Even after taking almost a year off to focus on an unexpected battle with breast cancer, I've emerged even more inspired and energized to share this gift with you.
Through this website I'm inviting you to share with me in experiencing some "Wow, God!" moments. Whether they come when you browse through my newly published books or as you get ideas for custom books that we could publish together, I pray that your time here will refresh, encourage and inspire you.

Q: ASP NET Core Serving specific html page I have this middleware:
public class SpecificPageMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate next;

    public SpecificPageMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
    {
        this.next = next;
    }

    public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context)
    {
        if (this.IsSubDomainRequest(context.Request.Host.Value))
        {
            if (this.IsIndexRequest(context.Request.Path.Value))
            {
                await this.ReturnIndexPage(context);
                return;
            }
        }

        await this.next.Invoke(context);
    }

    private bool IsSubDomainRequest(string host)
    {
        return host.StartsWith("subdomain")
                || host.Contains("subdomain");
    }

    private bool IsIndexRequest(string query)
    {
        return query == "/" || query == "/response.html";
    }

    private static async Task ReturnIndexPage(HttpContext context)
    {
        var file = new FileInfo(@"wwwroot\response.html");
        byte[] buffer;
        if (file.Exists)
        {
            context.Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.OK;
            context.Response.ContentType = "text/html";

            buffer = File.ReadAllBytes(file.FullName);
        }
        else
        {
            context.Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.NotFound;
            context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";

            buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Unable to find the requested file");
        }

        using (var stream = context.Response.Body)
        {
            await stream.WriteAsync(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            await stream.FlushAsync();
        }

        context.Response.ContentLength = buffer.Length;
    }
}

Quite simply, when I get something like this through: subdomain.mydomain.com I want to show a specific html page otherwise carry on the normal middleware pipeline to www.mydomain.com.
When this middleware gets hit, it ends up as a 404 in the browser. If I don't set a content type then it ends up as 200 with all the html written out as text, rather then rendered as html. What am I missing here?
I don't want to use app.UseDefaultFiles() or app.UseStaticFiles().

A: Answer.
One mistake you're making is here:
await this.ReturnIndexPage(context);                      // wrong!
await SpecificPageMiddleware.ReturnIndexPage(context);    // right (1)
await ReturnIndexPage(context);                           // right (2)

this means the instance. You cannot access a static method from the instance. Instead you have to qualify it with a type name (1) or with no qualification (2) and you're fine.

I tried an older jar and it's running perfectly fine and I'm not sure why the new jar won't work - Didn't change anything.
Please advise?

</property>

I got to this after extracting and comparing the two jars.

A: The newer versions of the bigtable client jar include newer versions of the gRPC jar.  Newer versions of the gRPC jar depend on newer versions of alpn-boot or OpenSSL.  In addition to a new version of the bigtable jar, you may need a new version of the alpn-boot jar.  Unfortunately, the Jetty team isn't making new alpn-boot jars for Java7, which bdutil depends on.
We are actively working on moving away from bdutil to dataproc, which is the newer version of Google Cloud Hadoop management.  Dataproc uses Java 8, and doesn't have the same problems as bdutil.  There are still kinks we need to work out.

I debuted this dress yesterday at Wardrobe Wednesday. I made it on Sunday afternoon/evening after my sister inspired me by suggesting a maxi.
I often respond emotionally to fabric and this is one of those purchases. These colours are ones I can't seem to go past - blues, greens and some purple - ahhhhh. It actually has white, yellow and brown in it too which I hadn't really realised.
The fabric is one of those awful types that always stuffs up the stretch on my machine and makes all the stitches skip. So as an experiment I decided to keep a sharp needle on rather than changing to a stretch needle which has a blunt point. Completely successful.
I had totally lost my way with this fabric I couldn't think of what to do with it. Naomi came up with the maxi idea and pushed me away from a navy sash towards the yellow to pull out the yellow in the fabric. I like the way I can tie it front or back.
I got rather a lot of comments (in person) on it - I always find people comment a lot on colour when I wear it, maybe it's because us kiwi's wear a lot of black or maybe it's just the shining sun that makes people more likely to enjoy colour and give others encouragement.
I can see this dress is going to get a heap of wear it is super stretchy and comfy, it is a good hairy-leg cover-up option for summer and the colours make me smile!
I also made another batch of super simple muesli. This is a family recipe and it is so easy and quick. I promised a recipe if someone asked and lovely Bec did.
If you want a nice even toast, mix it a bit during baking time. If you are lazy like me you will have a toastier top.
Add in any fruit or nut combinations you like and enjoy. Sweet but not sickly so and no oil/fat or processed sugar as well as being a complete doddle to make. My boys love it.
Kind of a random Make My Week combination this week. To see other creative happenings click on Our Creative Spaces on the right.
Welcome ladies - it's is great to have your company today.
This week I'm taken with the idea of inviting someone to have a rummage in your wardrobe. How many times do you stand in front of your wardrobe in your underwear unable to see the wood for the trees - while your 6 year old comes past strokes your bottom and comments 'you have a squishy bottom' (oh, so that is just me???).
Do you pull the same old favourite out again or do you pull out that great item you love but you aren't sure how to wear - before you sigh and pull your jeans off the floor?
This week I had my sister over and she did pretty much that very thing but with my fabric box. It was so inspiring. I needed someone to be able to see past the ideas I had when I bought some of the fabric.
I had one particular piece that I loved but I was about to get rid of because I didn't like my idea for the fabric but I couldn't 'see' anything else to make it out of, enter her inspired idea 'make a maxi' and now here I am - one Sunday afternoon and an evening sewing and I'm done!
Now I have at least 2 other great ideas that came from her suggestions and her pulling things out of my wardrobe that I could pair them with. I also really enjoyed Kelly's post last week where she took a citron coloured skirt and worked it 5 different ways - there are a couple of tricky garments in my wardrobe I really need to do that with too.
I think I'll invite her over again and do a big wardrobe overhaul and let her style me from my own wardrobe.
I love how I gather ideas and inspiration from your wardrobes when I visit. And for those who aren't quite ready to share their style yet but still visit and leave encouraging comments thank you so much I so appreciate your company. And it turns out most of us prefer a covered cleavage!
Dress - made on Sunday from a pattern and 2 fabrics all languishing in my stash - Free! more info about it tomorrow for Make My Week. Sash can tie front or back.
It's a chance to take some time once a week to peel off the polar fleece trackies (I have a pair too!!) and put on something that gives you a chance to have a 'play' in your wardrobe, to make yourself feel valuable.
Cat is organising an Advent swap - this means you get to prepare 24 little items with love and excitement for someone and at the end of November you get a parcel of wonderful things to open every day up until Christmas. This is such a perfect swap for a person like me that loves buying, making and collating gifts and who also - much less admirably, loves receiving gifts! Win and win.
As the 1st of Dec is my birthday I think this would be an excellent way to start my 35th year!
If you want more information and you want to sign up (of course you do!!) head over here for all the dets (I love using the word dets - it makes me feel very 'cool'. I realise it probably isn't a cool word at all but as I have no teenagers to let me know this I am happy in my ignorance).
Um yeah - sign up okay? this will be fun!
The title for this post comes from a poem in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.
Over the last few weeks I have been making a really conscious effort in the afternoons to make myself available for 'unlimited' reading time.(after homework and before dinner). We get the homework done and the hungry hippos fed and then I say 'let's read'.
I love trying to get in before my boys so that they don't feel like I am saying yes to having fun with them after they have worn me down, rather I suggest it - hopefully sending the message 'I'm keen to spend time with you, I enjoy it, you matter.' Because that is what I feel in my heart, it really is, just sometimes the urgent things are shouting so loudly I don't hear my heart whispering it to me.
I never regret this kind of extra time. Never. My boys go to bed quite early and I have time almost every night to do all those 'important' things (like folding washing and reading blogs!!!) so I try to remind myself that this time is never wasted.
I don't always get it right but in the last couple of weeks we have started and finished James and the Giant Peach and we are nearly finished Danny the Champion of the World. Flip has adored them both and Bounce really enjoyed James which surprised me. He listened so intently and could do a great job of retelling to Daddy.
The Atlas is so on board with reading to the boys too. As well as being wonderful time together reading aloud to children is so good for their imagination and their love of language. And I hope it fills their lives and memories with the gentle sound of our voices - words and images tumbling together intertwined with a familiar voice communicating love and igniting inspiration with each word.
I finish with this wonderful comment Ange left on my blog yesterday - sums it up perfectly really!
I always buy books, and will always ask for books for my boys. Plastic holds their attention for a moment in time, but books hold their imagination for ever.
As you know this year I have wanted to stretch and grow myself as a mama and although I am a great believer that really we don't need a lot of fancy stuff I also really want to know about decent ideas/books/games.... that people (real people not plastic people with fake smiles and children who they just met that day on set!) have actually tried.
I am one of those mama's that doesn't really buy my kids a lot of stuff - frequently we get them quite small gifts for birthdays and Christmases....however, I do tend to part with money more easily when it comes to books and games. As I see it both of these are the gifts that go on giving - they can be shared and re-shared year after year.
I also know that in the pre-school years I have been a little lost sometimes and really keen to know about worthwhile stuff especially books around the right level and games they can actually play and understand.
So, coming up to Christmas I thought I might do some preschooler recommendations for games and books and anything else that comes to mind in case you might find it worthwhile too. (I find it isn't long before I have grandparents and aunts and uncles asking for recommendations and I love having something in mind).
Please note this is my idea it is not a series of sponsored posts (not to say I'd mind being sent wonderful quality products to try - are you listening toy and book companies???) it's just one mama who is passionate about helping other mama's and families find fun things to share together that aren't iPhone apps, DVDs, TV programmes or computer games. (Not that these are bad there are just probably lots of great places to find those recommendations - and I am not that place).
My First Guess Who is easier than the traditional game this one uses plastic faces which you add to as you ask each question. If your child doesn't have the vocab yet they can hold up the piece they want to ask about. As the game progresses you each build a face and then at the end the whole 'board' flips around so you can check they are the same.
Bounce and I have laughed and laughed playing this game together. Flip was given it for a birthday a couple of years ago and it has certainly been worth it for us. Each game doesn't take very long either so you can play a quick one or have a few rounds.
Definitely one I think would suit children from 3 up and possibly younger depending on their vocab and concentration etc.
I made a clear plastic pouch that closes with velcro for ours because it has small parts! Games with small parts do my head in!! But this does seem to keep it all in order.
Are you keen for more recommendations from our cupboards?
What game gets the most use in your house?
Do you find it hard to find great games for your pre-schoolers?
just let me know if you need anyone to come and help you eat it 'k?
Thanks so much to Victoria and the lovely team at Serra Foods.
Being featured in this super new Indie magazine produced by Hazel a talented Chch blogger - try my recipe and tell me what you think.
The Atlas coming home with a Daphne bush for me one night after work - I don't really 'get' (as in they don't spin my wheels) bunches of flowers (except for opening nights) but Daphne is one of my most favourite fragrances and a bush was so sweet - especially as he bikes home so he had to go out of his way to the store and bike the rest of the way home with it. I do love him.
Catching up with a lovely group of Christchurch bloggers on Wednesday including a couple of new faces.
Making cookies with my big sister - so happy to have her home.
Reading stories with my boys.
This hilarious video I came across on another blog I love.
The New World in our area re-opened - this may seem small but to the people who live in our area this is a massive statement that we are in recovering and moving forward mode (and they sell nice chocolate!).
I'm sure there are many other lovely things but most of all I'm just loving the fact that it is Friday and my crew are gathering back in for 2 days. 2 whole days with the 3 best boys in the world.
It's a friend's birthday this week and like most people I know she is a busy, self-sacrificing, wonderful woman.
So I made her a rice heat pack with a zip off cover even! - apologies to those who find the use of food offensive in crafting - and an eye mask.
She is a dog and animal lover so I thought this fun fabric was perfect.
The eye mask came from an idea and tutorial on Amelie and Atticus (a blog I read) - note my awesome cutting skills that means the dog has no head - yeah I marvel at my talent sometimes too!
I have infused both with some lavender and lemon essential oils - restful and reviving - hopefully they don't cause confusion!
To see what others are making this week click on Our Creative Spaces on the right.
I've also made some yummy and easy muesli this week - let me know if you'd be keen for a recipe post.
Both the rice heat pack and the eye mask are very easy first-timer projects if you are someone who is keen to start sewing.
Thanks so much for coming to play today - I have so appreciated the thoughtful and encouraging comments you have been leaving. If it's your first time, welcome - thrilled you've come!
So, apologies for the slightly inappropriate title - but I figure any male readers I have aren't tuning in for wardrobe inspiration, right? and I quite liked the alliteration.
I try to keep mine off show and being really honest I find large swathes of cleavage rather distracting myself so I can only imagine the difficulty some blokes have. Anyway, this particular dress has a cross-over and it keeps things covered except by the end of the day I definitely have some pesky cleavage on show. I'd hate to think people felt I was intentionally exhibiting but once you get to a certain, ahem, cup-size things get more tricky - especially as the lower and V cut styles are so much more flattering - seriously not a good look to see me in a turtle neck or skivvy. (I'd like to say you'll never see it but I can't rule out doing a 'things I shouldn't wear post at some point').
So there's that - what's your take? Do you like a little cleavage or do you find it inappropriate/distracting or are you a 'if you got it flaunt it type'?
What about colour combinations? Usually I tend to stick to 2 colours - so with this dress I'd usually do green and white but then it got cold and as I reached for a white cardi I thought 'why not pink?'. It's not as though I have an aversion to colour - in fact I very infrequently wear black but I do seem to stick to a 2 tone look most of the time. I'm not sure why that is and indeed if you don't count the white this is 2-tone too. I do love the way the pink and green play off each other.
Do you mix a lot of colour or do you have colour rules or certain colours you will not wear or colours you couldn't/wouldn't wear together?
Shoes - bought in a bundle from Trade Me (NZ's eBay) 25 cents!
Necklace - I call this my 'joy bell' it is a bauble with a bell inside that rings.
It's a chance to take some time once a week to peel off the polar fleece trackies (I have a pair too!!) and put on something that gives you a chance to feel good about what you have on!
I'm sure many of you will have seen the crayon-art craze sweeping the internets. Not content to do it just the way other's have (and due to the fact we have white walls) I decided to go for a black canvas.
I did all the lining up and gluing while the boys were in bed then on Sunday afternoon we all, even The Atlas, turned our hand at crayon melting. We used the hairdryer for a while then swapped to my heat embossing gun (still in the packet 2 years on - ahem!) which was much faster. The hairdryer did work - even the teeny one we have.
After we finished it we signed the sides and let the boys choose which way up to hang the picture - taking after their mama wanting to be different perhaps??
It was so fun to spring an unexpected art activity on them. Afterwards Flip suggested some 'octopus' so we delayed dinner for 10minutes and played together outside.
It made a slightly crazy, 'everyone in different directions' day so special for all of us.
I do love doing special things with my boys.
Cost - Black Canvas $13.99 and crayons cheapie ones box of 64 $4.49 all from The Warehouse. Crayons attached with a hot glue gun but my friend Cat did hers with double-sided tape.
For more cool stuff I want to do with my boys you can find my board for it on Pinterest here.
As part of my goals and aims for the year I am trying to become more intentionally present in my boys lives.
When I was asked if I would like to review a LEGO game of course I was more than happy but I was so thrilled when 'Creationary' arrived.
Creationary is the kind of LEGO game I like - it's like pictionary but with LEGO and it is so fun. A roll of the dice determines your category and then a turn of the card reveals the nature/building/thing/vehicle you need to make. It's aimed at ages 7+ and I can see why - wee Bounce just didn't have the concentration to keep on playing or watch others - not that it stopped him being involved.
The Atlas suggested we have a Creationary party to make an occasion of our first game. The boys have been bursting to play since it arrived so this was very much in keeping with the excitement levels.
.... and as part of my parenting strategy for the year it worked so well - why not have a party to celebrate a new game?
We had some awesome LEGO lollies The Atlas got at some conference or other (wish I knew where you could buy them) so we made cupcakes and bought chippies. Ma n Pop joined us too and the adults actually really enjoyed the game.
We have some really creative friends and I can actually see us playing this at dinner parties with the right crew.
As for my boys - had I not received this game it is certainly one I would have asked the Grandparents to get us as a family for Christmas. Good games (I want to say board games but clearly this isn't) are a pricey investment but pay-per-play and quality time factor I think they are worth every cent. There are 3 levels of difficulty (I found level 1 about right for me but the Flip went straight for the top-level) and it is quite mind bending when trying to figure out how to represent some objects. I was so impressed with the way Flip managed to represent the things he had some of which were really challenging. I love having something that will draw out his creativity and challenge his thinking.
It is tempting to wish the picture representations were in LEGO themselves but then it would take all the creative out of it. I am so pleased they didn't do that - a game that encourages true creativity is definitely at the top of my awesomeness list.
We are definite LEGO fans and I've received rather a lot of street cred from some adults I know for being a blogger who gets LEGO to review - kind of makes up for the weird silence when you tell some people you blog (it's at that point I want to hitch my pants high and make geeky laughing sounds).
Product description: Roll the LEGO® Dice to select one of four exciting building categories: vehicles, buildings, nature or things. With three levels of difficulty you can show off your building skills, while theothers guess what you are creating. A great game for family and friends to test your imagination, creativity, building and guessing skills to the max.
If you are looking for an excellent long-term game investment I can really recommend this one. It will be getting a lot of use in our house... and it will last for a lot longer than the cupcakes!
2. I couldn't wear nice stuff - now before you start to show me pictures of gorgeous people wearing beautiful things across their lifestyle blocks - you just need to understand there are certain places I (me only) can't dress up - one is for the gym - must look awful, must wear no make-up and the other is on the farm - any farm. Can't bring myself to skirts. It's weird but these are my rules and I must live by them. It's also shallow oh yes it is but I couldn't go week after week without prancing about in pretty clothes.
3. I can't do icky - yes I realise your respect for me is currently at rock bottom so let's just see if we can get it any further. A friend asked me to feed the compost scraps to her chooks a while ago - instantly changed my mind about even the slightest possibility of having chooks. I have textural issues and one of them is slime.
It's not that I need the shops, or cars - I love riding my bike and I don't even shop that much.
I see people's gorgeous pictures under trees and pottering in paddocks - and I sigh at its loveliness.
I so get the self-sufficient desire - in fact I'd quite like it myself - but I need someone to do the icky stuff for me. I do make all our cleaners and bread from scratch, by hand. I do love the garden bursting into spring - I just don't hanker for getting dirty. I get the idyllic desire but I know I wouldn't enjoy the reality.
So question is - is there anyone else out there who loves the town too or am I a lone town mouse in a sea of country mice and 'wish I was' country mice??

Becker is engaged in ongoing research in growing and processing fibre flax and industrial hemp for papermaking. Through his company FlaxHemp PaperWorks & Press. Becker makes paper, sells flax and hemp fibre and tow, artwork, and stainless steel Hollander paper beaters suitable for cottage industry.
Helmut's work has been shown internationally for the last three decades. Recently his work formed part of OHA the sponsored Renewal exhibition (BCE Place in Toronto, April. 2000; see http://www.hemphasis.com/oha/renewal.htm); his work was also featured at the McIntosh Art Gallery, London, January, 2000 (solo).
With this issue, The Hemp Report is very pleased to be able to present images of some of his fascinating images, supplemented by commentary by Helmut.
Sciences, Western workshop: "Nouveau Pi Disc" green dehydrated hemp handmade paper, green ribbon stripped fibre, 137.2 cm (55 inches) in diameter.
"My involvement in handmaking paper and linen/fibre flax research was awakened through visits in 1967 with two pioneers, hand papermaker Douglass Howell and multimedia artist Michael Ponce de Leon, both in New York. Howell designed and built his own stainless steel and phosphor bronze Hollander paper beaters, presses and tools for hand papermaking. For a time, over a half-century of research in handmaking paper, he was the only artist/craftsman active in this field in all North America. Ponce de Leon collaborated with Howell in experimentation on three-dimensional handmade sculptural prints and paper casts. He also pioneered with the Brand brothers in Manhattan to build the first machined and welded printing presses for artists anywhere. Earlier presses were made of cast iron.
Through the inspiration of Douglass Howell, who experimented with fibre flax and linen, I have steadfastly conducted further research into fibre flax and linen for hand papermaking. Recycled rags of linen and hemp (used cloth, canvas, rope, etc.) were key raw materials in Occidental hand papermaking through most of the last millennium. Earlier in the Orient, and to this day, a much greater diversity of plants were employed, e.g., at high altitudes the plants Daphne and bamboo; at medium altitudes, paper mulberry and, for the famous Chinese hsüan chih paper, blue sandal wood (Pteroceltis tartarinowii); and at low altitudes, rice straw and hemp. Most of these plants, excepting hemp, were not available in the Western world."

"Through the Moorish invasions, the technology of hand papermaking entered Europe around 1000 AD through Spain, around a millennium after its invention by the Chinese in 105 AD. The qualities of many extant early handmade papers are exceptional for strength, permanence and simple tactile beauty. More research is needed on the exact nature of the early handmade papers of the Middle East in the period 750 to 1000 AD, as well as on early European handmade papers. Several significant studies have recently been made by Aliza Thomas of the Netherlands on early Middle Eastern handmade papers and by Timothy Barrett on, 'Early European Papers, Contemporary Conservation Papers'. To unlock the secrets of the past is not always easy. Another notable scholar is Victoria Rabal Marola in Capellades in Spain. Her findings on the design and function of medieval stampers, such as those in the Capellades Paper Museum are particularly valuable. I have conferred with all three researchers regarding subtleties involved in determining how the high quality and permanence of earlier handmade papers was achieved. All three have stimulated ideas for further research.
I have made studies by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of suitable plant fibres for handmaking paper, most importantly, of flax and hemp. A substantial part of my research and creative artwork in the past twenty-five years has involved growing experimental plots of different varieties of fibre and seed flax at the field station of the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Western Ontario. The flax plants were hand-pulled. The plants, stripped of seed clusters, were then retted in several ways: on the field by dew, on the field under snow, in a stream, in a clay-bottom pond, and in a tank. These different techniques yield a palette of earth colours, which I have used to advantage in my creation of artworks from handmade paper."

"I am fascinated not only by the potential of fibre flax and hemp for application in handmade paper and paper artworks, but also by the history and technology of these fibres from earliest times. I am investigating hand beating of plant fibres and the use of stampers in both East and West in earlier times and wherever still practised today, as in China and Japan. I am continuing work on natural retting in which microorganisms in the presence of water remove most non-cellulosic matter from plant material, without added chemicals. If chemicals were needed then, as Yasuichi Kubota and the late Ashiro Abbe have done in Japan or as Chinese hand papermakers in Anhui do, I would use the least amount of soda ash to do the job.
When I visited Kubota, in Shimane Prefecture in Japan, on a Canada Council travel grant in 1983, he helped me handmake some green 'sekishu hanshi kozo' paper. Inner bark of kozo saplings harvested from neighbouring mountainsides was subjected to gentle physical and chemical processing, retaining the mildly poisonous green pigment which repels attack by bookworms. Today, following Kubota's rule of thumb, I prefer to process fibres using the weakest alkaline solution that will do the job of removing non-cellulosic matter. Alternately, if microscopic organisms in the retting process have already effectively accomplished the extraction, no further chemical or thermal treatment is necessary. The greater the chemical and physical abuse that plant fibres are subjected to, the more impermanent the handmade paper will be."

In China, the best fibre for the highest quality of handmade hsüan chih paper is sun bleached on rocky southern slopes for 6-12 months. In my own investigations, I have successfully sun-bleached fibre flax and hemp over snow in the winter. An exciting aspect of my work is the use of ''green'' (immature) fibre flax which yields finer fibres, paler and in less need of bleaching, and naturally lower in non-cellulosics.
Having grown up in sparsely treed regions of the Canadian prairies, trees retain a special fascination for me. Tree materials are incorporated in many of my handmade paper art works. Wood, saplings, inner bark and leaves, worked in various ways, take on a new life. Through sculpting or fire, primordial and timeless forms and spaces are evoked."
"Bundles of fibre flax have been water retted in blue drums. In either case, dew retting, or water retting, microorganisms which are already present on the plants from the soil, will activate, either in the presence of water and air. Or in the presence of water alone. Most of the non-cellulose material will have been eaten away, leaving the long strong flax fibres and some shives (straw), The wet bundles are then shaped into hollow cones and allowed to wash clean in a rainfall or two and also to sun bleach. A little later the cone shaped chapels can be turned inside out for a more even bleaching and drying. "
... it is very interesting to run a test of industrial hemp pulled by the roots, which I invariably do with Fibre Flax, which I also did last year with my experiments with industrial hemp. (Most everyone else invariably cuts the industrial hemp plants by machine).
To hand pull hemp plants is back breaking hard work, and so is the hand processing step by step. To individually hand pull the green retted plants, sort out the sizes and semi strip the emerging flower/seed and leaf clusters took around 2 to 3 hours to eventually yield a kilo or so of fibre. There is the preparation of the running water tank, monitoring it and removal of the retted plants, semi-draining the soaked bundles of retted plants and then setting the semi-drained, semidried bundles in cone shaped "chapels" or lean flat layers at an angle against a support to completely air dry and be rinsed clean with a rain or shower. It is time consuming work, no two ways about it. For example, I kept track of the amount of time required to ribbon strip the fibre from the water retted hemp plants and to complete the ribbon stripping: it took between 2 1/2 to 3 hours for each of the 800 grams sets of 100 % free of hurd clean ribbon stripped hemp fibre... beautiful ultra strong fibre ... intend to hand spin some into yarn, thread or twine and possibly twist into rope segments.
The above labour intensive means will provide superior both fibre flax and industrial hemp fibre from which to create highest quality handmade paper for the fine arts and for archival work. ..."
"My 15 foot "Arctic Kayak" is a slight "takeoff" reconstruction of the design of a Mackenzie Delta kayak.
The following site I found invaluable: http://www.arctickayaks.com"
From Arctic Kayaks, David W. Zimmerly: "There are four known Mackenzie Delta kayaks, three of them in the Canadian Museum of Civilization collection. The construction is elegant. The Mackenzie Delta type is an inland kayak used to hunt beluga whales in bays and estuaries. All inland kayak types require a balancing act to paddle."
"The framework structure my kayak consisted of found weathered wood carved horn shaped stem and stern, steamed and bent found wood deck beams, ribs, circular cockpit and gracefully curving light 14 foot cedar gunwales, side stringers, keelson and deck stringers. All the wooden parts are intricately hand tied with hemp cord and hand ribbon stripped hemp fibres from hand pulled green hemp plants, running water retted hemp plants and earth retted hemp plants. This gave 3 distinctly different earth colours."
"My original intent was to cover the tied together wood structure of the sleek kayak with earth coloured hemp handmade paper sectors stretched taut to simulate sewn together seal skins. Perhaps paper pulp spray natural ochre colour hemp paper "seal skin" like layers over the intricate framework but the reconstruction looked so interesting on it's own at this juncture, that I simply decided to leave it intact at this stage."
"An old man named Saumi. Left-Handed, had died and his elegant kayak rested on its stone rack near his grave by the Inukjuak River. The rack was to protect the skin from the teeth of dogs, who in the north will eat anything. His widow had seen me admiring it and when she noticed that I too, was left-handed, she decided to give me his kayak."
"The seal skins on Saumi's kayak were worn and opening along the seams. The many bent, wooden ribs needed to be retied with sealskin lashings and the whole kayak frame needed recovering. The old woman offered to organize the new sewing, and I contributed a skin or two, which was the custom."
"Old fashioned, perhaps shamanistic rules took over when it came to sewing the kayak. All men were warned by the women to keep away during the whole skin-covering process which, because of tradition or for practical reasons, had to be completed between dawn and dark, I was very eager to see the Kayak repaired, so, using binoculars, I watched from a distant place among the rock. What would I do with a soggy-looking Kayak covering like that?
I was totally wrong. In the morning breezes, the scrapped kayak skins soon dried and tightened to drumhead smoothness and the early slanting sunlight made the kayak partly transparent, showing its inner ribs in a golden glow."
Becker: "Something quite similar and equally surprising would happen if I had covered my kayak reconstruction with strong earth coloured hemp handmade paper. In the wet state it would at first appear slack and limp but upon drying would become taut as a drum and semi-transparent in sunlight and very strong. This will be a challenge for a not too distant future kayak project".~ Helmut Becker, Summer 2001.


Can Shaw (SJR) Keep the Earnings Surprise Streak Alive?
Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Shaw Communications (SJR), which belongs to the Zacks Cable Television industry.
When looking at the last two reports, this communications and media company has recorded a strong streak of surpassing earnings estimates. The company has topped estimates by 11.56%, on average, in the last two quarters.
For the last reported quarter, Shaw came out with earnings of $0.28 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.25 per share, representing a surprise of 12%. For the previous quarter, the company was expected to post earnings of $0.27 per share and it actually produced earnings of $0.30 per share, delivering a surprise of 11.11%.
With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Shaw. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank.
Shaw currently has an Earnings ESP of +1.10%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on April 9, 2019.

Houma Christian falls to Jeanerette 22-14 in OT
Mike GegenheimerSports Writer
Oct 10, 2019 at 12:01 AM Oct 10, 2019 at 11:20 PM
SCHRIEVER – Houma Christian couldn't quite explain what happened in overtime during Thursday's District 7-2A game against Jeanerette.
It produced good pressure on Jeanerette quarterback Noah Rollins and had tight double coverage around receiver Kentrell Williams.
But Rollins got his throw off and Williams went up and caught it in the corner of the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown to open the overtime period with a 10-yard score. Just to prove it wasn't a fluke, Rollins and Williams did it again on the next play for the 2-point conversion, this time from even further out after drawing an unsportsmanlike penalty for celebrating.
Houma Christian could not respond in kind.
After facing a 14-6 deficit with under five minutes to play Thursday night, Jeanerette pulled out a miraculous 22-14 win in overtime to top the Warriors and keep them from notching their first win of the season.
When the plays counted most, the Tigers were simply the ones who executed.
"At the end we had one or two missed assignments," Houma Christian coach Chuck Battaglia said. "But ultimately they had a couple catches and throws that were just perfect throws. The kid made two outstanding catches in the corner of the end zone. We had tight coverage on him, we were in his face and the kid just made a play."
Houma Christian (0-6, 0-3 District 7-2A) tried to mount a comeback of its own during its offensive possession of the first overtime period, but Jeanerette (3-3, 1-2) sacked quarterback Westyn Spry three times to end the game.
Operating out of a new up-tempo offensive, Spry had been effective at penetrating the defense up to that point with 200 yards and a touchdown on a 15-of-27 passing clip and another 130 yards and a score on the ground. His passing touchdown was a 23-yard dart to Eyan Webre that threaded the needle between two defenders.
Spry also made a nice defensive play with an interception deep in Houma Christian territory.
In fact, it was that clutch production under pressure that put the Warriors in the driver's seat for most of the night to begin with.
The Warriors intercepted Rollins three times, including a ball caught by Cameron Ringo at about the HCS 5-yard line that later turned into a 3-yard touchdown run by Spry at the other end. They also recovered a fumble and forced a turnover on downs at the goal line in the fourth quarter.
But a three-and-out after the goal-line stop quickly turned into the game-tying touchdown when Rollins threw a 25-yard pass to Andrew Matthews. Matthews also caught the 2-point conversion to even the score.
"They got an amazing catch," Spry said. "The quarterback made a perfect throw. Nothing we could do about that."
Jeanerette finished the game with 174 yards of total offense, 144 of which were thanks to Rollins' arm. He completed 11 of his 33 passes, three of which resulted in a touchdown.
He said he knew from the moment the ball left his hands that Williams would come down with it.
"I had to trust my receiver on that one," Rollins said. "I saw double coverage on both sides and they were blitzing up the middle. I just had to take a chance on it."

A New Shed in Town!
Wellbeing at Garon Park is proud to be a member of the UK Men's Sheds Association and bringing this exciting opportunity to Southend. Men's Sheds help people to connect, converse and create with activities similar to those of garden sheds, but for groups to enjoy together. They can also help reduce loneliness and isolation so benefitting mental health, or just help you learn a new skill – but most importantly, they're fun!
In Spring 2019 Wellbeing at Garon Park will be opening a new Shed at our Garon Park site. We would love to hear from men and women interested initially in helping to refurbish the building or who are interested in using the shed once it's up and running.
Having successfully secured funding from the National Lottery Awards for All to enable it to purchase a building, which is expected on site this Spring, Wellbeing at Garon Park is keen to hear from volunteers who can spare a few hours to come along and help refurbish the building to get it ready for use.
We have teamed up with the organisation Volunteer it Yourself who will provide a skilled mentor to supervise the work with materials kindly donated by Wickes, so everyone is welcome to come along and help. No matter whether you're a skilled tradesperson or have never held a paintbrush there will be something to do.
We welcome men and women who are keen to get involved and have already had enquiries from men and women looking to join in and play an active part at the Shed. To get involved please ring Ian on 07913 381495 or email ian.bysouth@gmail.com.
"At our open event last year, we had great interest in our proposed Men's Shed so I'm really excited that it's now becoming a reality" said Ian Bysouth who is working alongside Andy Badger of Wellbeing at Garon Park to make the shed a reality.
"We hope to be opened sometime later this spring so the more help we get the quicker we can start to provide this facility to those in the local community and grow what we can achieve here at Wellbeing At Garon Park" said Andy.

All big games have a certain atmosphere at the beginning. Hearts begin racing as the teams enter the arena and this is when the crowd noise is very loud and at certain big plays throughout the game. It can go very quickly from a low hum to a deafening burst of energy is a split second.
Going to this kind of sporting event and cheering on your home team gives you an alive and excited feeling. The crowd cheers and blasts of music make the atmosphere even more exciting, and the commentators relay every exciting move as it happens on the field. With such an exciting atmosphere, no wonder people love attending live sporting events every chance they get.
With the excitement and noise, you might not realise the damage that your hearing is experiencing. It has been proven that sudden and loud noises could negatively affect your hearing. Adults choose to go to these very loud sporting events, even though they get that dull feeling in their ears long after the match is done. This is even worse for children and especially infants. The little ones don't get to choose as the adults do, and permanent hearing damage could be the result of little ones going to these very loud events if they don't have the proper hearing protection.
It is well known that the pounding noise and ear-piercing cheers enhance the excitement and fun of the sporting event for adults. However, for children and infants, those same noises could be scary, overwhelming and sometimes painful. The good news is that with properly fitted hearing protection, children and infants can relax and take in the event and their ears are protected at the same time from permanent hearing loss that could have occurred if their ears were not properly protected.
You might want to protect your children and infants from very loud sporting events by not taking them at all. However, there is no fun in doing that. You don't have to keep them away from these exciting events as long as you provide those little eardrums with the proper protection. Good protection for the ears provides a buffer between the sensitive parts deep inside your child's ears and the loud external noises.
The idea is to enjoy the noise and the experience is a safe manner. This is why you need to pack hearing protection your children when you are also packing the big foam fingers, blankets, cushions, water and other essentials for the big game. Even the adults should protect their own ears with earplugs. When you have good hearing in your later years, you'll be glad you took that step.
In terms of protecting the hearing of children and infants, Banz is a great choice. Banz' hearing protection earmuffs are excellent at providing protection to your little one's ears while experiencing all the fun. Furthermore, Banz earmuffs are fully portable and are easy to pack with your other big game necessities.
