The road outside school is potentially dangerous. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic is considerable at the start and end of the school day. It is imperative that we all work together to reduce the number of vehicles in Eyton Lane at the times when children are approaching or leaving school.
Parents waiting at the school gates should ensure that they are not blocking the pavements and thereby causing children to step into the road.
Children are encouraged to take an interest in road safety issues and we run cycle training and 'Stepping Out' pedestrian training for KS2. We regret that parents cannot bring cars on to the school premises at the start and end of the school day for purposes of delivery or collecting children (except by special arrangement). Nor are they allowed to use the staff car park at the Corbet School.


Michelle Monaghan is nothing if not Method. To prepare for the role of activist Sam Childers' wife Lynn in her film Machine Gun Preacher, the actress started living with Lynn and her family. "I got on the phone with Lynn and asked her a lot of questions and [then] had the privilege to stay with Sam and Lynn in Central City. She's really complex, and she's lived a really conflicted life," Monaghan explains.
In Machine Gun Preacher, Monaghan plays opposite Gerard Butler's Sam as a stripper-turned-born-again Christian who helps turn her husband towards his faith. But it's far from the typical thankless wife role; there was plenty of meat for Monaghan to dig into, including a scene in which Lynn confronts Sam about how his work in the Sudan has caused him to neglect his family. "Those scenes were difficult, because I wanted, as a person, to unleash and be upset," Monaghan explains, though she decided to stay true to Lynn's fundamentally calm nature.
On the phone from Dallas for the film's press tour, Monaghan adds that the film's message has been getting through to viewers, many of whom have expressed interest in Childers' charity Angels of East Africa. "The audiences are being moved, and they're asking such smart questions, and they're really sincere about what they can do. We really hope that this movie gives people the opportunity to educate themselves."
What's next for the star? She has several releases coming down the pipe, including the indie Gus and Better Living Through Chemistry with Olivia Wilde. She's also excited about an as-yet-untitled action thriller that she'd produce and star in. "This has been a passion project of mine for the last few years," Monaghan explains. While it's hard to envision the waiflike star as a hard-bodied action heroine, she sounds very much up to the challenge.

Just one day after a spokesperson for the ultra low-cost Irish carrier announced plans to start a new transatlantic airline, the flights have already been cancelled.
There's one glaring problem. The airline doesn't have the right equipment for international flights and the Board of Ryanair Holdings Plc made it pretty clear in a statement that they don't intend to buy new planes anytime soon. Ryanair currently operates only Boeing 737-800s, which have a shorter range compared to aircraft often used to fly transatlantic routes, like the 767.
In the light of recent press coverage, the Board of Ryanair Holdings Plc wishes to clarify that it has not considered or approved any transatlantic project, and does not intend to do so.
So it seems, for now, if you're looking to pay $15 to submit yourself to open-water inflight misery, you'll be waiting a little bit longer.


Called both the "Damien Hirst of Delhi" and the "Marcel Duchamp of Asia," Subodh Gupta currently has an exhibition on view at Hauser & Wirth in London. Known for creating iconic works that reference both his Indian background and Western art, this exhibition, 'Common Man,' includes a number of large works that playfully use famous works as well as pieces that reference the artist's own oeuvre. Gupta, who has called himself "the idol thief," took Marcel Duchamp's infamous 'L.H.O.O.Q.,' a postcard of the Mona Lisa upon which Duchamp drew a mustache, and turned it into a bronze bust. Many of the works appear to composed of ready made commodities, but are actually newly fabricated out of traditional materials like bronze in a nod to the weight such materials carry in an artistic context.
One such work is 'Potato Ring,' in which dozens of cast bronze potatoes are placed in a wide, shallow basket, as if at market. In a similar vein, 'Aam Aadami,' which translates to the exhibition's title, is a number of bronze mangoes in a wooden box padded with straw. Gupta is well known for using everyday objects, notably spoons, in his assemblage sculptures, and 'Spooning' comically draws upon that, with two enormous spoons laying on top of one another on the floor.
Gupta is similar to Jeff Koons in his treatment of somewhat insignificant objects, transforming them through materials that hold high currency. 'Et tu, Duchamp?' the bronze mustachioed Mona Lisa alone on a marble plinth is one such example. In 'Jeff the Koons,' Gupta riffs on Warhol's Brillo boxes and casts in aluminum copies of the cardboard boxes that Koons's mailorder 'Puppy' sculptures come in.
Works that directly reference the artist's youth growing up poor in India are three sculptures set on oversized thalis, traditional Indian metal plates. Instead of food, these works offer up cast off everyday objects in various states of transformation, including old shoes, brightly polished aluminum kitchen utensils, and coins set in resin to look like a wishing well.
Gupta is one of the most prominent artists to come out of the boom of India's contemporary art scene in the past decade. He has participated in prominent group shows including 'Indian Highway' at the Serpentine Gallery, 'Altermodern,' this year's Tate Triennial, in which he created a mushroom cloud out of kitchen utensils, and showed a giant skull, also made of kitchen utensils, during the 2007 Venice Biennale. 'Common Man' runs October 1-31, 2009 at Hauser & Wirth in London.

CBN Introduces Cash Swap Policy For New Notes In Villages, Others
2023: PDP condemns attack on Buhari in Kano, tackles Tinubu
New currency hoarding: We have to go into banks' strong rooms – CBN
The Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) has directed deposit money banks, super agents as well as mobile money operators to swap the old N200, N500 and N1,000 for the newly redesigned notes.
Hence, they are expected to swap up to N10,000 per person while amounts above N10,000 are to be treated as deposits.
This, it was learnt, was to speed up permeation of the new Naira notes, particularly, in the rural areas of the country.
In a circular issued and signed by the director, Banking Supervision department, CBN, Haruna B Mustafa and the director of Payment System Management Department, CBN, Musa Jimoh titled 'Naira Redesign Policy: CBN Launches Cash Swap Programme in Rural/Underserved Areas' released on Friday night, the apex bank said, the swap, which would be effective on Monday, January 23, 2022, is expected to enhance the availability of the new notes and ensure people don't loose their money as a result of the policy.
With the circular, super agents, banks and MMOs operating in rural areas are expected to swap up to N10,000 per person while amounts above N10,000 are to be treated as deposits.
The circular reads: "in furtherance of its Naira Redesign policy, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has sustained its nationwide awareness/sensitization programmes, enforced speedy collection of the new notes at CBN branches by the Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) and mandated issuance of the new notes through Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) to ensure distribution is fair, transparent and evenly spread across the country.
"In addition to these measures and in recognition of the need to maximise the channels through which underserved and rural communities can exchange their Naira, the Bank is launching a cash swap programme in partnership with Super Agents & DMBs. The programme enables citizens in rural areas or those with limited access to formal financial services to exchange old Naira notes for redesigned notes."
The circular added that the old N1000, N500, N200 notes can be exchanged for the newly redesigned notes and/or the existing lower denominations (N100, N50 and N20, and so on) which remain legal tender.
It stressed that, "the agent shall exchange a maximum of N10,000 per person. Amounts above N10,000 may be treated as cash-in deposit into wallets or bank accounts in line with the cashless policy. BVN, NIN, or Voter's card details of the customers should be captured as much as possible.
To promote financial inclusion, it pointed out that, this service is also available to anybody without a bank account, adding that, agents may, on request instantly open a wallet or account, leveraging the CBN Tiered KYC Framework, saying, this will ensure that this category of the populace are able to exchange or deposit their cash seamlessly without taking unnecessary risk or incurring undue cost.
According to CBN, "designated agents are eligible to collect the redesigned notes from MBs in line with the Revised Cash Withdrawal Limit policy. Agents are also permitted to charge cash-out fees for the cash swap transactions but prohibited from charging any further commissions to customers for this service.
"Agents shall render weekly returns to their designated banks regarding the cash swap transactions.
MBs shall in tum render same to the CBN on a weekly basis. Principals (Super Agents, MMOs, DMBs) shall be held accountable for their agents' adherence to the above guidelines. Cash Swap agents will be readily identifiable in all local governments, particularly those in rural areas. The CBN will continue to monitor implementation of the programme and provide further guidance as may be necessary."

When packing, consider the location to where you will be traveling and be sure you have appropriate clothing. Many locations can have widely varying temperatures, especially if you'll experience significant altitude changes.
Although Corbell Photographic Workshops generally don't involve any significant or strenuous hikes, you should have good walking/hiking shoes. Many of the areas in which we travel can have uneven, rocky, slippery or wet surfaces.
You may also be spending many hours out in remote areas with limited facilities. We recommend that you plan on bringing drinking water and snacks - these can often be purchased when you arrive at your destination.
International travel requirements vary greatly depending upon your destination. Be sure to check with your travel agent or airline about specific requirements. Ensure your immunizations are up to date. You must have a valid passport and, depending upon the destination, a valid visa.
Also note that the passport must be valid for several months past your return date. For most countries this is six months, but that is a requirement of the country you are visiting so you should check with them.
Check with the US State Department for specific passport requirements.
As you plan for your international trip, you need to consider the electrical service which is quite different than that used in the United States. Unlike North America, most of the world's electrical service is 220-240 volts at 50Hz. In the US, electricity is usually delivered at 120 volts and 60Hz. You'll also find that the outlets look quite different from what you see in your own home.
Our recommendation is to leave any electrical devises at home. You'll usually find a hairdryer in every hotel room or cabin on a ship. If you really want to bring an electrical device, you'll need to figure out the voltage requirements. If it is a dual voltage device, then all you need is a plug adapter. If not - like most hair dryers, curling irons etc. - then you would need a voltage converter or transformer in addition to the adapter plug. Just know, we've seen hair dryers that were plugged into pretty decent voltage converters and still burned up.
For most of Europe, including Greece, you'll use a Euro style adapter that is simply two round prongs. If you're going to the UK or Ireland, you'll want to have a Great Britain style three-prong adapter.
Exactly what to take on any trip is really a personal choice. But take this advice from one who knows; "Take twice the cash and half the clothes."

Lessons From the Paralympics That Have Been Learnt and Can be Harnessed
The Paralympics have now been over for a bit over half a week. They were a top-class event put together by a masterful organising committee that also had responsibility for that other successful major event, the Olympic Games. Australia did so well. We put together the most successful touring performance of any Australian Paralympic team in history. That performance put us just two gold medals and a number of silver and bronze behind the strongly-funded hosts, Great Britain and just four golds and a handful of minor medals behind second placed Russian Federation.
But far from the phenomenal medal-winning performances and that of all the athletes across all nations involved, the London 2012 Paralympics have taught us some valuable lessons which can be harnessed to facilitate lasting change when it comes to the politics of disability.
Firstly, London put on an amazing show, on an unprecedented scale. These were the highest selling Paralympic Games ever. That mantle looks sure to be safe for quite some time too, perhaps never to be broken, ever. Nearly all of the two and a half million tickets allocated for the Games in London were sold, that makes a huge change to the usually relatively empty stands that our Paralympians tend to have to deal with every four years.
This says that London and Europe in particular "do" disability very well. It shows that people there view disability much more favourably than the much discriminated against and stigmatised disability community here in Australia. This could be a product of many things, but clearly disability and difference experiences a much greater degree of acceptance across Europe. That's not to say things are great over there, disability has experienced cuts as the economic woes continue in that region.
A large contributing factor is probably how the welfare state is viewed in Europe as compared to Australia. There is less of a stigma to it in that region of the world. Those who rely on it are not discriminated against as much and are viewed as needing it and entitled to it, more so than Australians who tend to view welfare, even for those who cannot avoid it, with a level of disdain.
What the great spectator turnout at the Paralympics also shows is that disabled sport now appears, at least in Europe as just as elite and requiring just as much training, skill, ability and overall sporting prowess as the "able bods".
But far from the lessons we can learn about Europe and how they view disability, we can also look at how they were viewed back here at home in Australia.
That story is almost as positive. As I wrote last week, the Paralympic Games from London consistently brought strong ratings for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's digital channel, ABC2, as well as the original channel, ABC1. That means Australians were more than willing to give the Paralympics a go and the relatively consistent ratings throughout proves that people continued to be enthralled by the exploits of our elite athletes.
It shows that, as I wrote last week, the Paralympic Games have the ability to transform how we view disability here in Australia, not just the sporting abilities of those with impairments, but also how disability is looked at within the broader community.
The efforts of our Paralympians must be harnessed by disability advocates in order to continue to foment change in such a neglected sector of the community. It shows that the efforts of supporters of those with a disability may well not be in vain, that there is a positive view of disability that is growing across Australia. That growth may be slow, but it is something that can be pushed along just that little bit faster by displays such as the Paralympics. Stigmas are hard to break, some would say impossible, but you certainly couldn't say that after the last two weeks.
Australia and the world is learning and learning fast about disability. But that means absolutely nothing if the lessons that have been learnt over the last two weeks are not actually used to further the interests of people with a disability. It would be nice if Australia could aim to be more accepting of disability than the Brits showed. You could call it the 'Ashes of Acceptance', since we love beating the Poms so much at contests.

In 1947, the original Fellowship of the Burning Hearts--Henrietta Mears, Richard Halverson, Bill Bright, and Louis Evans Jr.--spent all night in prayer and then prepared a Discipleship Contract by which they committed to live their lives in expendability for the Lord Jesus Christ. Their efforts turned into a 2-year revival across 80 college campuses in America between 1947-1949.
In 2005-2006, I reprised their message for a 21st century audience and wrote, The Burning Heart Contract: A 21-Day Adventure in Prayer, Purity and Purpose. I traveled to 23 campuses in 40 days to pray with students to pray with students--it was a telling sign of the way culture had a grip on Christian young men and women. In the Summer of 2013, I gathered a dozen college students and developed a FREE Online 21-Day Adventure in which anyone who signs up receives my book for FREE and 21 Days of encouragement to develop a burning heart that can never be extinguished!

Starting today, you can preview our new photo experience that we are planning to roll out later this year.
Wow. The photo got bigger!
The new photo experience gives you the largest possible image, while not deprecating the story around a photo. The image is about 25% bigger than on the previous photo page. You'll see more pixels, get a cleaner view without any elements on the top or bottom of the page, so that photos are even more of the centerpoint.
The story is on the side of the photo.
The photo is more than just pixels: It's the story that you and other people have built around it. The photo's story is not only the photo's title, but also in the comments, tags and photo-specific information, such as the camera used. Our goal is to present you with a big image, but also to remove the need to scroll to see what the image is about. In the sidebar, you'll find all the important actions and valuable information. We also started to add recommendations to the sidebar, so that if you enjoy the photo that you are seeing, you're offered the opportunity to find photos of similar appeal.
The new photo experience is built from the ground up and uses new technology to show you photos much faster. While we are still working on improving the performance even more, you'll see a significant performance boost just by going from one photo to another — which you can simply do by clicking on the viewed photo.
Over the coming weeks, we share many more details of the new photo experience here. But for now, we invite you to test it and provide us feedback. Please keep in mind that this an early look into what is coming and that not all features are available yet.
We are very excited to invite you to this new experience today, as we think it uniquely combines high-resolution photos and celebrates the story around them. Now, head over to a photo and join us in previewing the new experience.

Joe, a 35-year-old native Maltese citizen is daring to give up his beloved car and make cycling his commuting medium of choice. After getting frustrated in the "back to school traffic" around two years ago, he rode his bike to work and never looked back since.
Joe ended up using his car perhaps twice a week on the weekends. During our interview, he told Word of Osiris that "the cost to keep [the car], compared to the benefits, did not justify keeping the car". Many react in disbelief to his decision, but after some consideration, they see eye to eye on the matter. He definitely recommends cycling to work for anyone living within 6 to 10km from their workplace. Having shower facilities available would be the cherry on the cake. He added "it only takes me two minutes longer cycling than driving to work in normal traffic. In comparison then [sic], driving to work in the "back to school traffic" take me twice as long as it takes me when I cycle".
Therefore, Joe is handing over the number plates to his personal car, only keeping a shared family car for errands.
Talking with Joe about cycling in Malta, he sincerely recommends staying sharp while cycling and "kind of expect the worst so you might be able to anticipate a situation before it is too late". Having said that, he also acknowledges that there are hundreds of motorists who show cyclists respect. He continues by saying that many infrastructural initiatives are "impractical to say the least and at times down right [sic] dangerous". Joe argues that cyclist safety is always a compromise and never a priority, and when cyclists choose not to use precarious infrastructure they are labeled as downright law-breakers, ending up giving "a wrong message to motorists".
In a spree of sincerity, Joe told us that he doesn't think Malta will become a bicycle haven anytime soon. He encourages the practice of teaching children the benefits of cycling and introducing government incentives for employers who install showering facilities in their workplace. With these initiatives we could hope for more bicycles on the road, and the dismantling of the ever-looming traffic gridlock.
As a friend of Joe once asked him "…why on a country so small we [sic] need to go everywhere by car when we are barely the size of a large city". Cycling helped Joe lose weight, improved his metabolism, while also giving him a sense of accomplishment once he arrives at work.
For the European Mobility Week, try change your habits and explore other alternatives.
Grab your bicycle, and whizz off.

Apple Butter Pie has a 5 minute filling bursting with traditional fall flavor. A great alternative to pumpkin pie, this is one of the best apple recipes to make for the holidays!
Move over, pumpkin pie. There's a new kid in town.
Apple Butter Pie. This recipe is a game changer, friends.
I came across this old recipe in my favorite cookbook and it immediately caught my eye. Apple butter is fantastically delicious to bake with (hello there, sweet rolls!) It's genius, but it only makes sense. Pumpkin puree is slightly similar in texture to apple butter, so why not switch out the two and create a new flavor of pie?
I really wasn't sure how this simple apple butter pie recipe was going to turn out, but once I sliced into the custard-like pie, I realized how the ingredients were so similar to pumpkin pie. Switch out the pumpkin puree, add apple butter instead and you have a pie that is full of cinnamony sweet apple flavor.
What type of apple butter is best for apple butter pie?
I've made this apple butter pie recipe a few times now and each time I've used a different brand of apple butter. Please realize that not all apple butter is created equally. Store-bought apple butter is a different texture than homemade, and most likely everyone's homemade apple butter recipe has different sugar and cinnamon contents, creating even more diverse textures.
Because of this, each time I've baked this pie, it has come out just a little bit differently (because yes, I have three different apple butters in my fridge), but each time it has been delicious. I'd say that a thicker apple butter works best, giving it a firmer, more "pumpkin pie-like" texture.
There's one constant, however, when making apple butter pie. Use a high fat milk. It's a must for this recipe. Whole milk is great, or you can even try evaporated milk.
Don't have whole milk on hand? Many times we only have 1% milk. But we often have half and half or heavy whipping cream in the fridge, also. You can use part milk and part cream in order to make a thicker, high fat milk for this recipe. Please just promise you will use dairy that is not skim, 1% and even higher than 2% milkfat.
I'll admit. I'm head over heels for that layered look. This may not happen every time you make apple butter pie, again, because of the difference in apple butters and the fat content of the milk you use. It's always a surprise slicing into this pie and seeing the beauty it baked up to be.
Enjoy putting aside the pumpkin for a change and serving this unique apple pie.
The texture of pumpkin pie with the taste of apple! Apple Butter Pie has a 5 minute filling bursting with traditional fall flavor.
Beat eggs in a medium size bowl. Add the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and apple butter. Mix well.
Add milk and whisk together.
Press the pastry into a 9" pie plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust. Use a spoon to mix the filling once it is in the crust to be sure all of the ingredients are equally distributed.
Bake at 375 for 60-65 minutes, or until the center is set. It will still seem slightly "jiggly" in the very center, but a knife put in the center should come out nearly clean.
Cool in the pie plate on a wire rack. Do not slice into the pie right away, as it will continue to set as it sits.
Store the pie in the refrigerator once it is cooled.
*It's best to use a high fat milk for this recipe. You can even use evaporated milk or half and half.
*I would start checking to see if the pie is done after 55 minutes of baking.
*If the edge of the crust is getting too brown, cover it with foil.
This recipe looks delicious and I picked up some fresh homemade apple butter from a nearby farm. I plan to make this for Thanksgiving. Would I be able to make this the Tuesday before and keep it refrigerated for a few days?
It's hard to say for sure, but I'd still add sugar. You can maybe drop it down to 1/3 cup, but I can't say for sure since I haven't tried it.
I just made this and I really enjoyed the flavor and the custard consistency.


If you're a fine artist, writer, musician, photographer, or designer, you've likely been called a 'creative person' at some point in your life. Perhaps you've figured out a new idea to a problem at your small business that you thought was creative. Maybe you've been in a class, interpreted a piece of work in a valuable way, and the professor lauded you for contributing a different perspective or different idea.
Creative ideas emerge in many situations, careers, hobbies, and works. But what exactly is creativity?
Simply put, creativity involves transforming your ideas, imagination, and dreams into reality. When you're being creative, you can see the hidden patterns, make connections between things that aren't normally related, and come up with new ideas. Creative ability depends on creative thinking which is part hard work but largely creative problem-solving.
Break out of your thought patterns to achieve maximum innovation and imagination with award-winning inventor, journalist, educator and speaker Sally Dominguez. Learn more.
Aside from his book, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is known for his TED Talk about the creative process and flow, also known as the secret to happiness. In his TED Talk, he says that when you are completely engaged with creating something new, such as writing music, you don't even pay attention to how your body feels or any problems you may be having at home.
Is Creative Thinking Learned or Natural?
Human beings are born creative and then taught to be uncreative as they grow older. Just think about it: When you are a kid, there is an emphasis on art classes and "reaching for the stars," and when you get older, you're told to get real, take the straight and narrow path, and pay your taxes. Pursuing our creative potential tends to come to a hault when we grow up. Creative individuals don't always have the most supportive environment in the workplace because they might be said to have unusual thoughts and lack the know-how for real business innovation.
Research proves that non-creative behavior is learned overtime. According to George Land's Creativity Test, young children are creative geniuses, and become less creative as they age. His study took a group of 1,600 five-year-olds and tested to see how creative they were. Ninety-eight percent were deemed creative geniuses, thinking in novel ways similar to the likes of Picasso, Mozart, Einstein and other creative personalities. He tested them again at 10 years old. That number dropped to 30 percent. By 15 years of age, it had declined to 12 percent. He gave the same test to 280,000 adults and found that only 2 percent were creative geniuses.
The good news is: If you consider yourself uncreative as an adult, you can reteach yourself to have a whole new mind (creatively speaking) and get into the habit of practicing creativity and innovation once again.
Aside from doing simple things like traveling to a new place, taking a walk, and engaging in a new hobby, you can also train yourself to do something new and become an expert in it. It's been shown that creativity in a certain area emerges after much practice. You also need to be open to new possibilities, remain curious about the world, and easily shake off mistakes. Employ these creativity measures and you'll possess a great deal more of creative thinking soon enough.
You can also accidentally stumble upon creativity. According to one study, 72 percent of people have creative insights in the shower. Why? Solitary activities like showering, walking alone, and daydreaming get the brain moving towards a more creative place.
Creativity is like the force: It may have been in you all along. You just have to uncover it.
Anyone can be creative. If you just dabble in painting, you're no less creative than the person who makes it her entire career. While creativity was pushed aside because of the Industrial Revolution, it's making a comeback amongst millenials in the information age, according to Hillary Grigonis. In one study of people ages 18 to 35, it was found that millennials are more likely to try a wider range of creative tasks like building a mobile app or learning how to knit than their older counterpart.
Creative people possess certain traits or skills. They are always asking questions, coming up with creative solutions to one problem, and exhibiting playfulness. They have heightened emotional sensitivity, are usually seen as nonconforming and are not afraid to be seen as different or exhibiting unusual thoughts.

Considered to be one of the most beautiful, romantic and iconic cities known to man, Paris is the place where fashion enthusiasts' dreams are made. Chanel to YSL, Michael Khors to Dior, the fashion industry is a long standing and ever changing force within the city. From show to show, season to season, Paris is a continuous running of style from sunrise to sunset. All of this, teamed with its beautiful architecture, delicious wine, and oh so good croissants (not so good for the bum), makes Paris a must see place for all.
Since the age of 13 I have visited Paris numerous times, three for Disneyland (wahay, not ashamed) and twice for exploring (aka cheese and wine time). Some may think that visiting the city over and over would be a boring thing but OH NO, YOU THOUGHT WRONG, as each time was filled with a different outlook and gave a new found love for the city. The amazement for me is the Parisians' ability to be so calm and collected, yet busy, fashion forward and comfortable. Undeniably, the Parisians show their flare of fashion whilst regularly fashioning their favourite pallet of Noir. Which, people, leads me to… (Drum roll please)…MY INTERNSHIP!
Around a week ago I daringly applied for an internship with the one and only creator of the beautiful dress, Mr Zac Posen. Little did I know that just one day later I would be asked to meet with the team in Paris in just one month's time.ME? EH? It must be a joke? The absolute giddiness in me spun out of control and next thing you know, it's confirmed, and BAM the flights are booked. Hello Paris come June 28th!
Zac Posen, if you aren't to know of him (pft), is a Manhattan based designer, whose creations span every red carpet, Met Gala opening and more. Providing the utmost glamour to women in a form fitting, elegant and iconic way. Allowing them to be at comfort but also ridiculously beautiful.
To be truthfully honest the idea of going makes me both extremely nervous and SO EXCITED as to intern for Zac Posen, c'mon, who wouldn't be? Over the coming weeks I'll be counting down (like an absolute loser) to my departure to Grand Ole Paris and upon my arrival will be taking you through the exciting steps with me!
WAHAY to Paris and to Zac Posen… Show me the dresses!
Zac Posen RTW(ready to wear) Spring '13- what. a. dream.

Poor Dogs - Darlynn's Darlins Inc.
On 9/23 it's back to court to see if the Judge in Imperial Polk County, FL, is going to let me have a hearing to defend the dogs or if she is going to attempt to uphold the clearly unconstitutional seizure of personal property without benefit of any hearing. In Polk County, FL, there seems to be little respect for 14th Ammendment Constitutional Law and there is certainly no respect for animals. This is clearly a police state.
I was particularly astounded when the last round in Judges Chambers brought the comment that she (the Judge) had no intention of considering any evidence. I was curious what she thought her job was. Another interesting note is that if a situation is politically or socially unpopular, the chance of securing media coverage (or help from much of anyone who could help) to expose illegal process or injustice decreases dramatically. Wonderful country we live in. I'm so glad to be free. And so sorry I don't have money. It seems to be the only thing that matters anymore. If you have enough of it, you can get justice...matter of fact you can get preferential treatment. If you don't have it, you can't even get fair and impartial treatment.

Q: Autohotkey: multiple / contingent uses for one command I'm working on a game design / UI project to redesign an existing game's control scheme (in this case, Trine) to use minimalistic input.  I am trying to map lateral movement and the jump function to a Win8 tablet's volume buttons.  Here is the basic code I am using:
Volume_Up::
Loop 5
{
  Send {right down}
  Sleep 50
}
Send {right up}
Return

Volume_Down::
Loop 5
{
  Send {left down}
  Sleep 50
}
Send {left up}
Return

This is working fairly well and is pretty responsive for moving left and right.  However, the desired behavior that I want is to trigger jump (i.e. up) when BOTH buttons are depressed.  For instance:

*

*Player holds VolumeUp to move right.

*Player comes to an obstacle.

*Player continues to hold VolumeUp to queue right-bound movement and;

*Player taps VolumeDown momentarily

*Player jumps, movement continues up-and-over obstacle toward the right.

I have tried various permutations on using another script with the (Volume_Up & Volume_Down::) syntax to trigger this interaction, but that always seems to interfere with the movement commands. I think this may call for a nested If statement inside the move-left / move-right commands, to check if both buttons are depressed, but the Autohotkey documentation is not very clear and I'm unsure how to code that (I'm more of a game designer than I am a programmer).  Any help would be really appreciated!

A: First of all, give attention to the comment from MCL. Pressing a button down 5 times and never releasing it in between does not seem to do much.
I think that you want multiple threads to be able to run at the same time.
Look up threads, but be aware about the following:
"Although AutoHotkey doesn't actually use multiple threads, it simulates some of that behavior: If a second thread is started -- such as by pressing another hotkey while the previous is still running -- the current thread will be interrupted (temporarily halted) to allow the new thread to become current. If a third thread is started while the second is still running, both the second and first will be in a dormant state, and so on."


the greatest exertion of will. Occasionally we go even further than this.
We are seized with a rebellion so sickening that we simply won't pray.
simply resume prayer as soon as we can, doing what we know to be good for us.

Missouri House passes Gregory's carjacking law

By Anna Lewis
Missouri News Network
The Missouri House passed a slew of legislation April 15, including bills that deal with carjacking, an emergency income tax extension and digital driver's licenses.
Lawmakers passed HB 966, sponsored by Rep. David Gregory, R-Sunset Hills, which would make vehicle hijacking a felony. Under the bill, vehicle hijacking would be defined as stealing or trying to steal a car through the use or threat of force.
Opponents thought the bill would lead to excessive prosecution.
Rep. Bruce Franks Jr., D-St. Louis, said the bill would remove the element of judicial discretion: "What message does this actually send? It doesn't send the message to those who are going to carjack, 'Let me not carjack because now I could get an A class felony,'" he said. "It doesn't send a message that we are going to talk about case by case scenarios, which I think we should be doing in a lot of our cases."
Franks specified that he did not support carjacking but that the bill would create an unnecessary law with "unintended consequences" because the crime could already be prosecuted under existing law.
The bill sets vehicle hijacking as a class B felony, which becomes a class A felony if the victims include special victims or children, a deadly weapon is used or a person is seriously injured.
Rep. Raychel Proudie, D-Ferguson, told the story of Porsha Owens, who was shot and killed in front of her children in an attempted carjacking in June. Proudie referred to Owens as a coworker and friend.
"You want to talk about unintended consequences? Let's talk about those three children who watched their mom bleed to death in the street. Let's talk about them," said Proudie through tears. "You forget that part of criminal justice reform is the justice part."
Emergency tax bill
The House also passed HB 1094, sponsored by Rep. Dean Dohrman, R-La Monte.
HB 1094 would give Missourians an extra month to pay state income taxes without penalty, according to previous Columbia Missourian reporting. Many taxpayers could face higher bills this year due to a lack of communication from the Department of Revenue.
Dohrman said he expects the bill to progress quickly through the Senate. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
Digital driver's licenses
Lawmakers also approved HB 679, sponsored by Rep. Nate Tate, R-St. Clair. The bill would authorize the creation of remote driver's license renewal system that can be used either online or through kiosks.
People who renew their licenses remotely would be exempted from vision and road sign tests. This provision sparked debate on the floor, with some members promising to vote a reluctant yes with the assumption that the bill would be amended in the Senate.
The bill also allowed for the creation of a digital version of the driver's license which could be used in addition to the physical one. Drivers could potentially show this license on their phone instead of the hard copy.
All three bills will now move to the Senate.

The Hacktivist Group 'Anonymous' Vows To Destroy Facebook on November 5th
Well-known group of hackers, Anonymous, which has been responsible for Cyber Attacks, plans to destroy the World's most popular and widely used social network, Facebook.
A video uploaded on YouTube named as 'Message from Anonymous: Operation Facebook, Nov 5 2011' which claims to be uploaded by Anonymous, announces that the group will be attacking Facebook on November the 5th. The Description of the video reads:
Operation Facebook
DATE: November 5, 2011.
TARGET: https://facebook.com
Twitter : https://twitter.com/OP_Facebook
http://piratepad.net/YCPcpwrl09
Irc.Anonops.Li #OpFaceBook
Attention citizens of the world,
We wish to get your attention, hoping you heed the warnings as follows:
Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed. If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy.
Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria.
Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your "privacy" settings, and deleting your account is impossible, even if you "delete" your account, all your personal info stays on Facebook and can be recovered at any time. Changing the privacy settings to make your Facebook account more "private" is also a delusion. Facebook knows more about you than your family. http://www.physorg.com/news170614271.html
You cannot hide from the reality in which you, the people of the internet, live in. Facebook is the opposite of the Antisec cause. You are not safe from them nor from any government. One day you will look back on this and realise what we have done here is right, you will thank the rulers of the internet, we are not harming you but saving you.
The riots are underway. It is not a battle over the future of privacy and publicity. It is a battle for choice and informed consent. It's unfolding because people are being raped, tickled, molested, and confused into doing things where they don't understand the consequences. Facebook keeps saying that it gives users choices, but that is completely false. It gives users the illusion of and hides the details away from them "for their own good" while they then make millions off of you. When a service is "free," it really means they're making money off of you and your information.
Think for a while and prepare for a day that will go down in history. November 5 2011, #opfacebook . Engaged.
This is our world now. We exist without nationality, without religious bias. We have the right to not be surveilled, not be stalked, and not be used for profit. We have the right to not live as slaves.
Also, Anonymouys has confirmed via Tweet that that only some of anonymous members are of the view to destroy Facebook, and not all of Anonymous agrees with it.
Will Anonymous get success in hacking the world's No.1 communication center? Let's see what happens on 5th November.

Le Torrione prenestino est un mausolée circulaire situé au deuxième kilomètre de la via Prenestina à Rome, dans la zone urbaine de Pigneto, faisant partie du quartier Tiburtino.

Histoire
On ne sait pas qui était le commanditaire de ce monument funéraire.

Ce type de tombes s'est développé à Rome à partir du milieu du   et a connu son développement maximal avec le Mausolée d'Auguste, qui a été construit entre  et . Celui-ci a accueilli de nombreux membres de la famille impériale, avant et après la mort d'Octave Auguste survenue en  ; le mausolée d'Auguste est devenu le modèle idéal de ce type de tombes; après la mort d'Auguste, la coutume de ces tombes déclina rapidement à Rome, jusqu'à disparaître finalement vers 50  Autour de Rome, il y en a une trentaine.

À la fin du Moyen Âge, cette zone appartenait aux Ruffini, qui l'ont utilisée comme cave, construisant une tour et d'autres bâtiments à côté d'elle, qui ont maintenant disparu.

Le , après deux ans de travaux de restauration, le monument (renforcé dans le mur extérieur) et le parc attenant ont été rouverts au public. La zone, agrandie à  et équipée de services standard, a été rendue plus accessible grâce à un cheminement piéton direct avec la Via Prenestina.

Description
Il s'agit d'une tombe de type tumulus datant du dernier quart du , composé d'un grand tambour circulaire en béton romain (à l'origine entièrement pavé de marbre) qui renferme le sépulcre en travertin au centre; son diamètre de 41 mètres en fait la plus grande extension de Rome après le mausolée d'Auguste de la Piazza Augusto Imperatore et la Mole Adriana (actuel Château Saint-Ange).

À l'origine, il y avait un couloir couvert avec un plafond voûté qui reliait la cellule mortuaire à l'entrée extérieure du tombeau, face à la rue; tout l'espace inclus dans les murs extérieurs était alors rempli de terre sur toute la hauteur du tambour extérieur et allait se développer vers le centre du monument, de sorte que le remblai formait une sorte de cône; au-dessus de la chambre mortuaire centrale, une colonne était placée, qui émergeait du haut du cône du remblai. Au-dessus de celle-ci était finalement placée la statue canonique du défunt en tenue officielle.

À côté du monument, il y a une fontaine médiévale.

Supporting School Recruitment Needs Safely
Despite the restrictions of the pandemic, our Search Associates continue to visit schools to support their recruitment needs. This November/December, Senior Associate Bill Turner and his Search Associates partner Alison Turner traveled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to catch up with seven schools.
A normal school visit usually involves a campus tour, particularly to new and important facilities. Associates chat not only with the Head of School but also other administrators, Human Resources representatives, teachers, and sometimes senior students. However, present pandemic-related restrictions allow for visits with Heads solely. Bill adds, "Nor do we get to see any of the campus as this would risk breaking social distancing bubbles."
A common view of all the Heads of School is that they miss the Search Associates face-to-face jobs fairs and look forward to these being re-started when the situation permits safely doing so. In the meantime, Search Associates (SEARCH) is grateful for the ability to gather intel so we can continue to connect outstanding schools around the world with excellent international educators determined to deliver the finest education to their students.
Bill's first meeting was with Graeme Scott, Founding Director of Fairgreen International School (FIS), an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, where 71% of the student body speaks another language at home. Despite the pandemic, FIS has managed to expand its student body from 180 to 471, with 600 planned for August 2021. Graeme, who will be moving on at the end of the year, says he does not predict many teachers leaving this year; the school is very stable.
Andreas Swoboda, Head of School at Uptown International School, shared with Bill and Alison that he was very keen to host the next face-to-face Dubai Search Associates Jobs Fair. As a consequence, the Turners are now planning for two fairs there: in November 2021 and April/May 2022.
Bill and Alison next caught up with Iain College, the Executive Principal leading the original and, now, the new campus of Raha International School in Abu Dhabi. Raha's new campus is full to present capacity at 300, despite the pandemic. By the time the whole campus opens in August 2021, Iain and his team anticipate 700 students in the building, which evidences the popularity of this successful school.
In his meeting with Robert Rinaldi, Head of School at GEMS American Academy, Abu Dhabi (GAA), Bill was reminded that, as in all Abu Dhabi schools, only the elementary section plus secondary "exam grades" are currently on campus with the teaching staff. Other age groups continue to work from home. This will change in January 2021. Robert just joined GAA, having spent his previous 36 years in Latin America. This new Head of School wishes to develop a culture in which all students contribute, guided by the motto: What do you do for your school? Robert says he is seeking teachers with experience in inquiry-based instruction who can add value to students' learning. GAA delivers the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and IB Diploma Programme (DP), with the U.S. Common Core linking the two. Interested candidates need not have prior experience teaching IBDP.
Next on Bill and Alison's tour was a meet-up at GEMS International School, Dubai Hills (GIS) with Simon Herbert, the new Head of School. Simon, who arrived last summer from Dulwich College, Beijing, places strong importance on an emotionally intelligent school. This was evident in the friendly welcomes the Turners received from both the security team at the gate and the public relations team in the school entrance. The pandemic-related challenges the school has faced have not thwarted 95% of the school's students. Simon is keen to repeat the IB workshop that Search Associates hosted in November 2019.
Bill and Alison paid a visit to Janecke Aarnaes, Head of School, Universal American School, Dubai (UAS) and good friend of Search Associates. Previously Head of School at Dwight Dubai, Janecke has worked hard to raise student numbers at UAS from below 700 last year to over 1000 today. This is promising for expanding the number of SEARCH teachers in the school. Since 2011, UAS has hired 70 SEARCH teachers! Janecke is looking for teachers who are committed to the holistic approach of "educating the whole child," and who are committed to a school that wants to change and grow.
At the Dubai American Academy, Head of School Tammy Murphy took Bill and Alison on a tour of the awe-inspiring Center of Excellence – Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Students can now take AI as an elective course! Other amazing facilities the Turners have seen in the past include a 50-meter pool and indoor running track, a green room, and a drone aviary. Bill says, "This is a bright, colourful, spacious and stimulating, child-friendly school: a fantastic environment in which to work." The school runs "an American Common Core curriculum with an inquiry-based heart," plus IBDP and Advanced Placement courses. Tammy assured the Turners that the school is committed to diversity and will always appoint the best teachers, irrespective of origin or orientation.
Bill and Alison also found time during their school visits in Dubai for personal meetings with 38 SEARCH candidates. When the Turners return to the UAE in May 2021, they will be available for further one-to-one meetings with interested candidates as they visit more schools and prepare for the November 2021 Dubai Jobs Fair.
Search Associates has over 20 Senior Associates with offices around the globe, each bringing a wealth of experience in international education.
