John Irvin Burge III - Mobile Memorial Gardens Cemetery
John Irvin Burge III was born in Mobile, AL on June 20, 1988. He passed away on Christmas Eve December 24, 2018. He leaves behind his loving wife, Elizabeth (Wibbi) Lloyd Burge and two children, John I Burge IV (3), and Katherine E Burge (3 mo). John and Wibbi fell in love at first sight and she was the love of his life. He was the son of John I Burge Jr. and Joy B Burge of Mobile, AL. John enjoyed meeting his dad for lunch, telling him about his work adventures and talking cars with him. He and his mom had a trusting and loving relationship. He also leaves behind three sisters, Morgan (Erich) Holderer, Katie (Ben) Prothro, and Beth (Jonathan) Smiley, all who were very influential in his life. His beloved uncle, Tom Burge (Carol Lee) was like a second father to John and was very active in his life. His cousin Martha Burge, was also a close friend and an honorary sister. John was the son-in-law of Bill and Leah L Lloyd and leaves behind brothers in law Tyler(Hannah) Lloyd, Cameron(Brianna) Lloyd, and Aidan Lloyd along with over twelve nieces and nephews who simply adored him. John was loved by many aunts and uncles, Linda(Gus)Agee, Janet Agee, Jan(Frank) Alardo, Marie(Greg)Sweeney, Alice(Harry) Welker, Jeanette(Phillip) Calametti, W Gene Rutledge and tons of cousins who always knew they could count on John for anything! John graduated from Davidson High School in 2006. He joined the United States Marine Corps in 2007 and served his country for 4 years including tours in Iraq and Kuwait. There, he met men who became lifelong brothers with a bond that will never be broken. He proudly worked for Alabama Power from 2011 until his untimely death. Always one for a good joke, he made the workday more fun and his brothers in the fleet will miss his laughter over the radio waves as handle #48. John was an avid Volkswagen enthusiast. In his free time, he and his son, little John, rebuilt his powder blue 1960 VW Ragtop Bug, truly a one of a kind. He loved riding it through the Smoky Mountains and along the streets of Mobile. He passed away doing what he loved, shifting gears with his larger than life grin in his beloved Beetle. An amazing father, husband, brother and friend; he will be greatly missed. He had a smile like no other and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Services will include a wake to be held at Luke 4:18 Fellowship (2664 Sollie Rd, Mobile, AL) Wednesday, January 2 from 5-8 pm. The funeral service will be held at Luke 4:18 Fellowship Thursday, January 3 at 10 am with a graveside service to follow at Mobile Memorial Gardens.

Eco Friendly Neoprene and Sustainable Wetsuits Explained
Here we break down sustainable neoprene – what it is and how it's made. We also highlight the processes around standard neoprene and how it harms our environment. Learn what really makes a wetsuit 'green', and how these earth friendly products perform.
For people that love to swim, surf, or explore the water in any fashion that requires a wetsuit, a love and appreciation for nature is usually a given. That's why it's so unfortunate that most of us have been blissfully unaware of the toxicity our beloved wetsuit represents. Luckily, in recent years, new materials, processes, and more awareness as to what is behind neoprene manufacturing have allowed for the production of extremely innovative wetsuits that do just as good a job at keeping you warm as standard neoprene, but allow you to feel much better about your next encounters with nature – supporting the planet in what you use to explore and enjoy the elements.
Toxic Neoprene Wetsuits Before Eco Materials
Since the their invention in the 1950's, wetsuits have been made of synthetic, neoprene foam, produced with loads of toxic and harmful petrochemicals. Standard neoprene, also known as polychloroprene, is produced by the polymerization of chloroprene, and is considered a synthetic rubber. Explained simply, neoprene is made through a series of chemical reactions. Chloroprene binds the molecules together, resulting in polychloroprene chips. The chips are then heated to melting point, then mixed together with toxic foaming agents which are then heated for the purposes of expansion and shape. Neoprene was first invented by DuPont, one of the world's most well-known chemical companies. Unsurprisingly, it has been found that components of synthetic neoprene are considered "reprotoxic", which is a type of substance that is toxic to the reproductive system and can increase one's toxic burden within the body and contribute to infertility and other issues. This kind of polymer-based neoprene has also been known to cause allergic reactions. Not exactly something we'd like to be swathed in for any amount of time…
While there are a growing number of innovations in wetsuits today, below are some of the most commonly used, accessible, and earth friendly components of eco friendly wetsuits. When assessing the sustainability level of any product, it's important to take a wholistic view, combining materials, production methods, facilities, and life span. It's yet another way we can arm ourselves with information to support our incredible outdoor playground.
CarbonBlack Neoprene
Created from post-consumer scrap rubber tires that are first shredded and put through a series of non-toxic chemical reactions (think high heat heat), the tires are first turned into powdered carbon black. This carbon black is then combined with carbon chips, which are neoprene chips made of limestone, which then become CarbonBlack neoprene sheets that go through a process of further heating, pressure treatments, and are finally cut into a desired thickness. All trimmings that come off in the cutting process, are reused to create the next batch of CarbonBlack neoprene.
Earth-mined Limestone
With extremely effective thermal insulating properties and even better flexibility than you'll find in petroleum based neoprene, limestone neoprene (which is a component of the aforementioned CarbonBlack neoprene) is mined from the earth and much easier on the environment than it's petrol-heavy counterparts. The carbon footprint of this resource is also significantly less than traditionally created neoprene.
While eco neoprene is in large part the neoprene material itself, wetsuits also require a non-neoprene lining that can perform well in watery conditions. While polyester is the standard petrol-heavy material that is used, some of the best eco products now utilize polyester from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles. This not only reduces the pressure on natural resources used to create standard polyester, this also makes use of a material we have an abundance of, that pollutes our precious ocean and waterways. It is important to note that special attention should be paid to the "post consumer" use of this plastic, as the high demand for some products allow some to "appear" that they are doing good by recycling plastic bottles, but sometimes use plastic bottles produced solely for the purpose of so-called eco-material!
Dope-dyed Yarn
In order to save energy and water, some manufacturers are now using a dope-dying technique, which is the process of dying yarn to a pre-selected amount of colors to create a fabric, rather than the yarn getting dyed as a whole after being weaved into the fabric. This reduces pollution, is incredibly efficient, and since the fibers are fully pigmented before knitting, the color fastness is vastly improved and is much less susceptible to UV fade – which is a great property for a sun-drenched wetsuit to have.
Solvent-free glues
Water based glue is a new innovation in wetsuits that allow the same level of bonding strength without the harm to the environment. By eliminated harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from the production of standard solvent glues, the process of creating a neoprene wetsuit becomes more clean and earth friendly – a simple, yet important step to ensure all aspects of wetsuit construction are paid attention to.
Reducing Energy Consumption
The best eco wetsuit manufacturers address, not only to the materials and processes that go into creating the garment, but also the facility it is made in. By using alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar, and tapping into opportunities that reduce C02 emission, the wearer can feel confident that close attention was paid to every aspect of creating a wetsuit that places the least amount of harm on the environment.
Cradle to Grave Thinking
When it's time for a new wetsuit, think of your wetsuit as having a life of its own. Consider where you want its next 'home' to be. From inception, to production, to you, an eco wetsuit has enjoyed a very low impact, eco-friendly life. For the next phase, does it belong in a landfill or can it be re-used, repurposed or recycled? Get creative and do some research to find new and interesting ways to ensure the 'cradle to grave' experience of your wetsuit is a positive one. Often times, repairing, or simply giving to someone else to use are ideal options.

Home NATIONAL We're ready to help Nigeria identify sponsors of terrorism – US
We're ready to help Nigeria identify sponsors of terrorism – US
….Induction of A-29 Super Tucanos into NAF Operations, defining moment in combating terrorism and other violent extremism – US Air Forces Commander, Europe and Africa.
As part of efforts to help Nigeria overcome the continuous carnage inflicted in its citizens by terrorists and armed bandits, the United States government on Monday night said it is willing to provide Intelligence to assist Nigeria identify sponsors of terrorism in the country.
US Ambasssdor to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard made this disclosure at a round-table interaction on US – Nigeria military cooperation with journalists at the US embassy in Abuja noting that discussion in this regard was ongoing.
Leonard's comments followed the disclosure by Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian, the Commander of United States Europe and African Air Forces Command, that the induction of A-29 Super Tucano Fighter aircraft into Nigerian Air Force operations, will be a defining moment in combating terrorism and other violent extremism.
Gen Harrigian said, "The acquisition of the fighter aircraft for Nigerian military has brought in multitude of capabilities that would help in tackling the prevailing instability in Nigeria. This truly is an opportunity to bring together the capabilities on the human side and what the A-29 brings to the nation, particularly as it will contribute to the tackling i security, and instability not only in Nigeria but more broadly the region.
Emphasizing US readiness to support Nigeria identify and fish out terrorists sponsors, the US Ambasssdor said, "That is something we are very eager to partner Nigeria on. I have had at least three conversations in the last two months on this subject. I won't like to go into details."
Asked if US partnership with Nigeria would not collapse of Afghanistan in the face of violent uprising, Mrs Leonard dismissed such Fear saying "Nigeria has had a strong bilateral relationship with the US and that both situations are not the same.
"I hear people making the analogy with Afghanistan a lot, it does not match up. When you listen to what President Joe Biden said on how troops went to Afghanistan in the first place, it was because they were complicit in a horrible tragedy where over 3,000 Americans were killed.
"That is a different construct. The sovereign nations who have had strong bilateral relations. I don't actually think the two match up."
In the A-29 Super Tucano, Beth Leonard, said the induction of the Fighter aircraft was a significant milestone in the US – Nigerian bilateral relations assuring that the U.S. remains committed to support in Nigeria fighting insecurity.
Furthermore the Ambasssdor said the U.S. was committed to supporting democracy and economic programmes of the federal government of Nigeria aiding that her government will also ensure that the full package with regards to the agreement between Nigerian and the U.S. in the Super Tucano would be fully implemented.
Also Speaking at the round-table the Commander, US Air Forces in Europe, General Jeffrey Harrigian, said the purchase of Tucano fighter jets by Nigeria was an opportunity to cement the US relationship with the West African country and curb insecurity.
He words, "The A -29 Super Tucano gives us an opportunity to reconnect our relationship with Nigeria. It is also an opportunity to bring together the capabilities on the human side and what the A29 brings to the nation, practically as it would contribute to bringing stability to not only Nigeria but the region."
"Importantly, the platform itself brings a multitude of capabilities and this is not just about weapons, it is about intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, it is about that operability that it provides between the air component and the ground component.
"And so, it broadens the shared understanding of the force to be able to operate in these different domains.
"And, we see this as a great opportunity to work together in these different areas to deepen our partnership, look for future opportunities, whether it be training whether it be intelligence because part of what we offer and what we are going to work together is really the full package.
"And, when we talk about the maintenance of an aircraft, when we talk about the tactics, techniques and procedures that the pilots use, those are a guys things we are going to continue to refine together with the Nigerian Air Force.
"And, we see this as really an opportunity to broaden those areas where we have these shared values and areas that we're going to work together to ultimately work to improve the security instability and work in partnership with all the things that the embassy does," he said.
Harrigian commended the personnel of the Nigerian Air Force for exhibiting high level of competence and professionalism during their training.
He said the induction of A-29 Super Tucano into Nigerian operation would be an opportunity to recommit themselves to the partnership between the U.S Air Force and NAF.
He gave assurance that while the NAF crew and pilots had been adequately trained, the U.S. Air force personnel would continue to work with them in Nigeria.
Going forward, the US Commander said Mobile Training Teams would be deployed to Nigeria to make all necessary part of the Training in maintenance and other Requisite available to the Nigerian Airforce.

Japanese Grocery Stores: An Appreciation
By Henrique Minatogawa / 30 Dec 2016
Some years ago, I worked in a publishing house in São Paulo's Vila Mariana district. Nearby, there was a Japanese grocery store, where I would go to buy a bento at lunchtime.
It was not every day that I would buy one; I believe it was two or three times a week at most. I also used to buy an Asian-style bread there that was not found in ordinary markets and bakeries. From time to time, I would feel like eating manju, or I would need shoyu, kare, or chikuwa to make dinner. I would go to that market to take care of these day-to-day "emergencies."
Maybe it is a genetic impulse or something physiological, because sometimes I "need" to eat Japanese food. It is not always simple, fast, or cheap to go to a restaurant, so visiting a Japanese grocery store can be a good way to satisfy the craving.
That grocery store is now closed. I changed jobs, but when I was near that neighborhood, I still bought something from time to time. I did not go there for a few months and when I finally did, I found the gates closed and the interior under construction. I thought it might just be a makeover, but the place is now an ordinary fast food restaurant.
New entrepreneurship
It's a habit for some and a novelty for others; Japanese grocery stores offer products that appeal to both Nikkei and non-Nikkei.
"The interesting thing is that Nikkei teach non-Nikkei. For example, they show them the onigiri and explain what it is, how to open the package, and how to eat it," says Elisa Sayuri Suto, a Sansei and a partner at Dai Suki, a newly opened grocery store in São Paulo.
"We want to replicate the concept of konbini (Japanese convenience store) in Brazil, with adaptations for the Brazilian market," explains Fernando Kajihara, also a Sansei and Elisa's partner.

The idea came when they both went to Japan for arubaito (temporary work). "We used to go to the konbini every day. We mainly bought bento, which was very convenient," recalls Fernando.
"Along with the products, we want to bring a little bit of Japanese culture," he continues. "For example, we have that tray where the customer can place money without making direct contact with the clerk." This custom does not exist in Brazilian stores, where money, card, check, change, and invoice are passed directly between the hands of consumer and seller. The tray they use was purchased in Japan, because Elisa and Fernando did not want to improvise with any available tray.
"It is difficult to put this into practice because Brazilians are not used to it," says Elisa. "People who already know it adapt to it quickly."
The store also uses social media to promote its products and offer more information about Japanese culture. "We do posts on social networks explaining aspects of Japanese culture, such as obon, and also highlighting typical foods such as ichigo daifuku."
Most of the Asian shops and restaurants of São Paulo are concentrated in the Liberdade district, in the central part of town. Going there is not always easy, as the traffic is intense, the sidewalks are congested, and the parking is expensive. It would be much nicer if these establishments were spread out in other districts.
In São Paulo, there are districts with a greater concentration of Nikkei residents, especially in the southern area. The Paraíso district, where Dai Suki is located, is one of them. "Many customers are happy to have a store like this in the region, because now they don't need to go to Liberdade just to buy one or two products," says Fernando.
"Nikkei seek out Asian products because they are familiar with them," Elisa adds. "Non-Nikkei seek them out because they know and like Japanese cuisine. Many look for temaki, which is very popular today. We also end up teaching them about other foods."
The store has only been open for a few weeks, but the partners have already made some findings. Most customers are students from a school across the street. Many of these students are descendants of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean immigrants. Many have also been to Japan. Thus, they already have a familiarity with Japanese food products. They buy mainly bento, candies, snacks, and nori, with onigiri being the sales leader.
The main difficulty now faced by the partners is their own inexperience; this is their first business. "There are still many products that we do not know about," says Elisa. "We are researching and learning."
Fernando did intern at an advertising company in Ehime Prefecture in 2014. "I wanted to have experience in a Japanese company," he explains. "I was already thinking of starting a business in Brazil, so I wanted to see how it worked in Japan and then bring it here. As we were in love with the konbini, they provided the inspiration. Today, I can apply what I learned to our business."
Elisa has a degree in business administration and has gone to Japan twice—both times for arubaito—during breaks from college. "I always wanted to go to Japan. It was a dream. The education of the Japanese people is something extraordinary, especially the shop clerks. That's what we are trying to replicate here: always serve with good will, seeking to help customers."
The value of experience
The more established Enman grocery store is now entering its 17th year of operation, after opening in 2000. It is located in São Paulo's Saúde district.
"When my father and I came to this spot, the idea was to set up a mini-market," says Naomi Maeda, a Nisei who, along with her three siblings, runs the business. "We sold things like canned sardines and oil to meet the needs of residents in the nearby condos. Then we started offering Japanese products, and they began to sell. The next thing we knew, sellers [of Asian products] began to appear at our door—even when we were closed."
The mini-market soon became an Asian grocery store. "A year later, I was talking to my father and I asked him, whose idea was it to have an Asian grocery store? He replied, wasn't it yours? I thought it was his idea. It was just something that happened naturally," Naomi recalls.
"Since we were kids, my siblings and I have helped in the store," says Naomi Maeda of Enman grocery store. (Photo courtesy of Henrique Minatogawa)
Passing on knowledge
Now, the majority of Enman's customers are elderly Nikkei who live nearby. The neighborhood has many residential condos, with a strong Nikkei presence.
"The senior citizens come every day," states Naomi. "They buy mochigome, shiromochi, rice, shoyu, tofu, konbu, nori, kanpyo, nishime, manju, and ingredients to make sushi."
Although Nikkei make up the majority of Enman's customers, the number of non-Nikkei are increasing. This can be explained by the fact that Japanese cuisine is now well known in Brazil. "These are educated people who have college degrees and access to the internet," Naomi observes. "They also have the desire to explore different restaurants. They have Asian friends who teach them how to make some of our dishes."
Naomi emphasizes the importance of knowing and passing on the traditions of Japanese cuisine: "I always make a point of preserving Japanese culture. It is important for both the descendant and the non-descendant to know how to shop for ingredients and prepare a Japanese dish at home. More and more, the elderly are passing, and people my age are coming to me to ask how to prepare some dish. I attend classes to learn more, then I practice at home so I can pass it on. This is not only to sell a packet of nori; I really feel the knowledge itself is important, whether it's how to make a more tasty Japanese rice or what kind of shoyu is most suitable for a particular dish."
Naomi inherited her instinct for customer service from her father. "He was a natural-born merchant. Everywhere I go, people always remember my father. When he became ill, he told me, you better learn everything you can now because no one lives forever."
In the mid-1980s, the Maeda family set up their first store. A few years later, Brazil experienced a serious economic crisis. The family had to close the store and try another enterprise, which did not succeed. "We went through a lot of difficulties, until we decided to set up this little shop. It was just my sister and me. Since we could not afford to have employees, we divided all the tasks between the two of us."
Why open a store again, in the midst of such difficulties?
"Selling is in our blood," Naomi quickly responded. "When we were kids, my siblings and I would help out in the family store—at the cash register, packing, restocking, wherever we were needed. At that time, a child could work because it was not considered dangerous like it is today."
Naomi's father passed away 10 years ago. "Up until the sixth year of the store, he was there. Even when he was ill, he would sit in a chair, just watching the movement. He liked it. He wanted to see everything and to be together with us."
After her father passed, a large supermarket proposed that the family open a branch inside their establishment. "I was kind of lost because my dad had been our safe haven. He was my foundation. So I thought, if he was still alive, he'd say to accept the deal."
Enman now has two branches. Both are run by Naomi and her three siblings, who take turns being in command. "It is very important for the owner to be present, to see what is happening, to learn what sells more and what sells less. In addition, the owner has a unique perspective and will want to highlight certain products accordingly," Naomi concludes.
The Japanese grocery stores of Brazil play an important role in preserving Japanese food habits and culture. While conducting research for this article, I saw children and teenagers eating onigiri during class breaks; I also saw seniors buying rice and other Japanese staples.
I hope we can all buy bentos for lunch for a long time to come.
Note: It turns out that the grocery store I used to frequent is still operating, but in another location.

Well, lots has happened since our last newsletter! Including the Municipal Elections, the US Midterm Elections, and the 100th anniversary of WWI Armistice Day. On a lighter note, we hope you had a fantastic Halloween! That is always a highlight in our home, grooving on the front porch to the Michael Jackson's album Thriller with fellow neighbours on theirs as we give out candy, and hoping the kids will recognize the music! I heard that there were 55 pumpkin parades in Toronto this year, and one of the first was where we always bring our pumpkins - Sorauren Park. What a fun November 1 tradition.
Our own JKTeam Pumpkin event was a new experiment that was great fun! We rented the Revue Cinema and showed a couple of awesome retro seasonal movies - lots of kids got to experience the big screen theatre for the first time, and there were many laughs, candy, popcorn and costumes!
Our JKTeam also happily pitched in at Thanksgiving at the Good Shepherd Ministries. This is always such a good reminder of how blessed we are, how important this shelter is in the community and how rewarding it is to help the less fortunate. Holly and I spent the bulk of the time working the area of recycled clothing, and the rest of the gang stayed energized prepping and serving a meal in the kitchens.
You have probably seen the messages this summer about expanding the team. We excitedly welcomed Lisa Taliano to the fold a few months ago. Lisa is a stellar individual with plenty of real estate and career experience taking care of clients at the highest level. Lisa shares our team vision of building life long client relationships - through guiding and consulting, rather simply a sales transaction.
Lisa T's experience from owning her own homes, as well as raising two daughters, along with her passion for health and wellness, believes that where people reside is integral to living a healthy lifestyle. Lisa is a long time resident of North Toronto, and has worked extensively across the GTA. Above all, Lisa's clients appreciate her sense of humour when they need it most and how she advocates for her clients the way she would advocate for herself & her own family.
We have all kinds of milestones on our team this year, including celebrating Holly Chandler's 10th year on our team! And Jen Palacios' 12th year (which passed by without much fan fare. Time flies when you're having fun!) Another landmark last spring was completing my 25th year in the business. Geez, not sure if that is something to celebrate or it just makes me sound old :) Ha!
There is much to discuss about the continued incremental mortgage rate increases and how and if it will impact you personally. Be sure to reach out to any one of us on the team to get some personalized information. The long and short story is so far so good, the rates are still pretty low in the grand scheme, although it does make a difference so don't put off your decision too long, and the Fall market has been very strong price wise, with still low inventory that will likely continue.
P.S. Wishing you all a fabulous holiday season coming up and time to enjoy the moments as well as plan for a memorable 2019. Thank you for your continued support and loyalty. You are much appreciated.
Our awesome client Michael Sloan has started his own business Beatnik and Rustik. He is a local maker in Little Portugal, and his first product is Scratch Off World Travel Maps.

Our delightful client Jim Blokland and his business partner Andrea Moodie have a feature film coming out in the new year. Keep an eye out for screenings of 52 Words for Love - One word. Each week. For a year.
52 Words for Love was acquired for distribution via Television, iTunes & Video On Demand by Films We Like, a Toronto-based distribution company for independent film.
"The film made me feel like I need to reckon with what I call love."
"It was like being immersed in a deep meditation on love and relationships."
"52 Words reaches for a definition of love and refuses to define it.
So moving – so very very moving."
November 5, 2018 - TREB President Garry Bhaura announced year-over-year increases in home sales & average sale prices reported through TREB's MLS® System in October 2018.
GTA REALTORS® reported 7,492 sales through TREB's MLS® System in October 2018 – a 6% increase compared to October 2017. On a preliminary seasonally adjusted basis, sales were down by 1% compared to September 2018.
The average sale price for October 2018 was up 3.5% on a year-over-year basis to $807,340. After preliminary seasonal adjustment, the average selling price was up 1% compared to September 2018. The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark was up by 2.6% compared to October 2017. Price growth continued to be driven by the condominium apartment and higher density low-rise market segments.
"Annual sales growth has been positive since the late spring. While the OSFI stress test & higher borrowing costs have kept sales below 2016's record pace, many households in the Greater Toronto Area remain upbeat on home ownership as a quality long-term investment. A strong regional economy & steady population growth will continue to support the demand for housing ownership as we move into 2019," said Mr. Bhaura.
There were 14,431 new Listings entered into TREB's MLS® System in October 2018 – down 2.7% compared to October 2017. The fact that sales were up & new listings were down year-over-year in October suggests that market conditions became tighter.
This month we have chosen the Daily Bread Food Bank, it is a cause dear to all of our hearts as we run a food drive every October and volunteer each December for their Holiday Party prep. It is a day that celebrates all of their hard working volunteers and families. DBFB have a big meal, give out gifts & dance til they drop. It is an incredible organization that helps so many people get back into the work force and supports them as they get back on their feet. We have seen firsthand how much demand there is in Toronto for the most basic of needs – food. Please consider a financial donation or food contribution and other ways you can help here.
Recipe compliments of the LCBO Food & Drink.
Peel squash and discard seeds. Cut into ½-inch (1-cm) cubes. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with about 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil, then toss. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss again. Roast in centre of preheated oven until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Then remove from oven.
Meanwhile, remove sausages from casing and place in a large deep frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if sausages are lean. Stir to break up meat. Once meat starts to lose its pink colour, add onion and mushrooms. Continue to cook and stir 5 more minutes, reducing heat if necessary. Add red pepper and sage, cook and stir 5 more minutes. Turn heat to low. (Or refrigerate sauce to this point, and finish when cooking the pasta).
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook just until al dente. Stir ½ cup (125 mL) pasta water into sauce. Then drain pasta well. Turn pasta into sauce along with squash and gently mix. Stir in Parmesan. Stir gently until combined. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve with additional Parmesan.
The Martin/Kennedy's plus Charlie were super thrilled with your help beginning to end. I knew 14 years ago when I met Julie at an open house (before I had an agent) that she was perfect for us. She didn't disappoint when we bought our house and she sure as heck didn't disappoint when we sold. Claire, Lisa and of course the boss lady, Julie you were terrific. Thanks so much.
Audible Audiobooks – I was never in love with the idea of audiobooks. I just prefer reading and enjoy the experience of a book in hand. But what I didn't factor in was just how much more "reading" I can get done with audiobooks; in the car, at the gym, walking the dog. I burned through my first book in less than a week. It's just so convenient!
Piano Piano – Great Italian restaurant on Harbord Street check it out.
W Network – Showing back to back Christmas movies from now until the big day. I say it every year, its truly the happiest season of all. Love stretching it out for as long as I can.

Gene A. Leposki is a partner with Orsinger, Nelson, Downing and Anderson, LLP. He is not only a dedicated lawyer but also a family man and community leader. Gene understands the importance, time, and responsibilities of raising a family in his North Dallas community. Married for 22 years, he and his wife, Sharon, are raising two children who attend Brentfield Elementary. Gene is also the head coach of the Pirates in the North Texas Little League.
Gene has been practicing law for 23 years, is licensed in Texas, California and Pennsylvania, and is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (as are all of Orsinger Nelson's partners).

Statutory interpretation has semester long courses devoted to the subject.
So, my goal here is simply to give you a brief introduction.
That'll break into three take home lessons.
the verb of the statutory sentence you want to understand.
For example, take a look at Section 1-103 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
Unless displaced by the particular provisions of the uniform commercial code.
other validating or invalidating cause supplement its provisions.
and another word as its verb.
the sentence and that supplement is the verb.
This gives you something to cling to and build upon.
Does the sentence have an object?
And what does its refer to?
Well if you think about it, its got to be the uniform commercial code.
And now you can go back and pick up other phrases and clauses.
a bunch of other stuff that we'll come back to, supplement the UCCs provisions.
Already we've made a lot of progress.
But we can't forget the initial [COUGH] prepositional phrase.
equity are displaced by particular provisions of the code.
by default unless they are displaced by particular provisions of the UCC.
famously wrote that words do not have absolute and constant referents, unquote.
to consider extrinsic evidence in order to interpret the meaning of a contract.
extrinsic evidence should be introduced into evidence to resolve ambiguity.
constrains judicial interpretation of statutes and contracts.
the drafters of the contract or the stature really intended.
Words may not have absolute reference but they mean something.
Otherwise you probably wouldn't waste your time listening to me.
every point inside the circle represents a possible interpretation of the text.
And an unambiguous text would be a single point.
An ambiguous text, like depicted here, would give rise to several points.
But a somewhat ambiguous text still isn't susceptible to all interpretations.
represent interpretations to which the text is not reasonably susceptible.
any person to cause a vehicle to enter Traynor Park.
prohibits bicycles or even skateboards as vehicles.
that citizens are required to carry firearms in the park.
interpreters sometimes admit extrinsic evidence to resolve the ambiguity.
For statutes, the extrinsic evidence might be legislative history.
the parties as to what their conversation was when they were forming the contract.
interpretation about when and whether it's appropriate to admit extrinsic evidence.
In contract law after considering all of the allowable extrinsic evidence.
such as choosing the interpretation that this favor is the drafter.
This is the contra proferentem rule.
then rules of construction to resolve ambiguity.
contractual interpretation has defied anything close to algorithmic treatment.
Indeed, courts apply a host of interpretive canons.
Most with impressive Latin names to help interpret statutes.
Professor Karl Llewellyn showed that these canons were often oppositional.
along with an example of how the canon has been used.
one of these Latin phrases in interpreting the case.
of Latin phrases so don't get hung up about particular Latin interpretation.
a Sociis, which might roughly be translated.
It's known from its associates.
unquote had to be kept free from obstruction.
uses noscitur a sociis mode of interpretation.
a floor used exclusively for storage did not fall within the Act.
which means of the same kind, class, or nature.
the Tattersall's Ring which was an outdoor arena for the race course.
The court said it did not as the specific places were all indoor places.
whatsoever the rule would not apply.
the canon that goes by the phrase expressio unius.
And the longer phrase is expressio unius est exclusio alterius.
The inclusion of one thing implies the exclusion of the other.
But people refer to this just as the expressio unius method.
coal mines, unquote, under the Poor Relief Act of 1601.
that the inclusion of coral minds implicitly excluded other kinds of minds.
difficult subject but this lecture can hopefully get you started.

The Clippers franchise has been around since 1970. While they've started out in Buffalo before making their move to the west to San Diego, they've been in Los Angeles since 1984 and haven't left since.
Surprisingly though, the Clippers don't have any numbers retired. Not one! Who could be the first one? They've had their fair share of stars in recent years with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. But when asked who his would pick to have his jersey retired, head coach Doc Rivers had an interesting response: DeAndre Jordan.
Doc Rivers said he hopes DeAndre Jordan is the first Clipper jersey retired.
Im offended on Chris Kaman's behalf.
Didn't they already technically retire Blake's jersey last year as part of the free agency pitch?

Plague Ravaging Madagascar
Nearly four dozen people have died.
Kerry Grens
WIKIMEDIA, ROCKY MOUNTAIN LABORATORIES, NIAID, NIHIn the past week, public health officials in Madagascar have reported 230 new cases of plague and 17 deaths from the bacterial disease, bringing the outbreak's total in the past two months to 387 infections and 45 deaths, according to the World Health Organization's (WHO) update yesterday (October 9). The BBC reports that WHO has delivered more than 1 million doses of antibiotics to combat the outbreak.
Plague is endemic to Madagascar, but the spike in infections in the past two months has surpassed typical annual totals and led to an outbreak designation. "Local authorities and international partners are concerned that the outbreak may further spread as it is already present in several cities, and the plague epidemic season has already started and usually runs from September to April," says the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, in an assessment published yesterday.
The bacterial infection is spread by fleas, although humans can catch it from one another by coming into contacted with infected bodily fluids. Of concern presently is the high percentage of "pneumonic plague" cases—72 percent of the Malagasy outbreak—in which patients' lungs get infected, because coughing can spread the disease.
According to the BBC, cities in Madagascar have ramped up prevention by setting up rat traps, spraying insecticides, closing schools, and cancelling public events.

The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong. A forgotten culture of Anglo Saxon males fed up with being told they're not good enough and using thier fists as a drug they describe as being more potent than sex and drugs put together.

7. Awaydays (2009)
On the Wirral in the grim early years of Margaret Thatcher's premiership, the opportunities for thrill seeking young men looking to escape 9 to 5 drudgery are what they've always been: sex, drugs, rock n' roll, fashion, football and fighting.

Italian movie about ultras. Really nothing special, but ok to watch if you are bored.
9. The Hooligan Wars (2012)

Bringing access to healthcare services
Access to care Partnerships Image-guided therapy Radiology Brazil Case study
PPP Bahia, Brazil
To improve access to health services and to provide the best care to patients in different areas through hospitals in Brazil
12 new diagnostic units across the state of Bahia
183,000 examinations completed in one year across the public state network
44% increase in exam capacity versus previous set up
Download the case (413.0KB)
https://www.philips.com/a-w/about/news/archive/case-studies/20180208-bringing-access-to-healthcare-services.html Link copied
A consortium aimed to bring better access to healthcare services in various regions of the state, through the provision of a new reporting center and 12 imaging units placed in 12 hospitals.
Alliar is one of the largest diagnostic chains in Brazil between doctors, clinics and labs. With more than 100 locations in 10 states, Alliar offers diagnostic services for hospitals, private companies and governments.
The Fundação Instituto de Pesquisa e Estudo de Diagnóstico por Imagem (FIDI) is the largest diagnostic services organization of the Brazilian government (SUS). Connected to the Federal University of Sao Paulo, FIDI performs around 250,000 exams per month in Brazil and has more than 1500 professionals in its network.
Despite expanding population coverage and access to health services, the poor remain badly underserved: around 30% of the population of Latin America does not have access to healthcare1 for economic reasons and 21% does not because of geographical barriers.
Brazil already lacks sufficient healthcare infrastructure in addition to a chronic shortage of healthcare professionals. Local governments struggle to keep hospitals upgraded and deliver quality health services to the people in the community that need it most. The country ranked 12 out of 13 worldwide in the Future Health Index2, driven down by significantly below average access to care across the health continuum. Only 12% of patients and 2% of healthcare professionals surveyed agree that the healthcare available to them meets patient needs.
Partnering to improve access
Bahia is one of Brazil's largest states. It is located in the north east of the country on the Atlantic coast and is the fourth largest Brazilian state by population and fifth largest by area.
Addressing these systematic healthcare problems required the government to take a new approach. In order to bring innovative healthcare to different areas of the state, they formed a public private partnership with a consortium led by Philips, the first of its kind in Brazil and in the region.
As part of the public private partnership (PPP) project, approximately 45 pieces of equipment were made available in 12 hospitals across the state. This included high-end CT and MR scanners as well as a new reporting center. With the 12 imaging units in the hospitals and each connected to the reporting center, specialist medical staff could rapidly relay diagnostic information to the referring doctors in the hospitals.
Overall, the PPP Bahia project has led to more than $40 million in investment in both operating equipment and healthcare infrastructure, leading to improved access for chronically under-served areas in the state of Bahia.
Under the PPP Bahia process, the consortium was responsible for processing 183,000 exams in one year across the public state network. It is planned that within 10 years of operation, an investment of 1 billion Reais will reach another 11 hospitals.
The PPP Bahia project has seen improvements in quality efficiency, with new diagnostic reports being processed in under an hour for emergency patients. Though this is a significant deal for the stakeholders involved in PPP Bahia, the real winners are the Brazilian people, who now have improved access to health services and infrastructure for years to come.

Crews were investigating a water main break in downtown Boston on Sunday that temporarily shut down ambulance traffic at Tufts Medical Center and forced the evacuation of a building.
Boston Water and Sewer Commision inspectors and Boston police officers and firefighters were called to an alley off Harrison Avenue and Kneeland Street at 8:03 a.m. after a 12-inch water main burst, according to Janet Taylor, an internal communications manager for Boston Water and Sewer.
Taylor said traffic was flowing on both sides of the main roads despite the break on Harvard Street, and no services were affected.


Raising money is hard work. Your success depends on your network and crowdfunding strategy. You simply must build relationships and connections with contacts who will be interested in investing in your company.
Building a robust, deep, and wide network must start before your campaign on a crowdfund investing platform launches. Why? Your campaign will be over in fewer than 90 days. RocketHub statistics show that you must get 30 percent of your dollars from your social network before strangers will take your offer seriously and invest.
Worse, people lose interest when they see that others haven't invested. Your deal becomes old news, or what investors call "shopped." If you've shopped your deal too long, people believe there must be a good reason others haven't already invested.
When you reach that magic 30 percent level of initial investment, strangers will consider investing. Strangers want to see that other people have vetted your offer and invested. Your initial funding provides crucial credibility (otherwise known as social proof) for those who don't personally know you or your company's team.
Interestingly, Kickstarter campaign statistics show an opposite trend: Very few friends and family invest, and it's up to you to develop a strong network and a robust PR strategy that will attract backers. Who helps out the most? Acquaintances and all those connected to them — strangers to you.
Statistics from the Kickstarter website showed total pledges of $100 million in October 2011 with the typical ratio of outside referrals to the website community 8 to 1.
Matt Haughey has backed 84 projects on Kickstarter. How does he find them? Twitter. He knows that the more followers you have, the better your ability to cash in on good will.
Brian Probst founder of CruxCase raised more than $248,000 from his Kickstarter campaign. His Utah-based company develops, designs, and manufactures keyboard cases for the iPad. Half of his backing came from outside strangers. (His PR firm, Max Borges Agency, pushed the story out to tech bloggers on sites like Yahoo! News, Mashable, and Wired.) The other half came from backers in the Kickstarter community.
Culture: It's a product that appeals to innovators and early adopters.
Design: The product features a highly designed aesthetic that mimics the design and finish of Apple products.
First mover: The product was one of the first of its kind available.
Transparency: Brian and his team were completely transparent about their flaws, challenges, and personalities, and they maintained constant communication with their backers. Because of this, the backers felt as though they truly knew Brian's team personally, so they trusted them.
Tell the story: More than just offering your backers a product, you're also telling them a story. The backers are a huge part of this story. Brian and his team made their story compelling and made the backers want to join them and be a part of their success story.

First phase of Malta-Gozo fibre optic link completed
The first phase in the Malta-Gozo fibre optic cable has been completed. Elettra, a subsidiary of Orange Marine, had won the tender, with the company represented locally by Joseph Cachia & Sons, a member of the M Demajo Group. Speaking during the launch, Elettra CEO Didier Dillard said the first main phase of the project - a survey of the best route for the project - has been completed.
The route will commence at the Xewkija industrial estate and move 3.6 kilometres to the shore at Tal-Fessej, limits of Mġarr ix-Xini. It will then proceed under water for 13 kilometres, landing at Golden Bay before terminating 4.3 kilometres away at Żebbiegħ, Mġarr.
Speaking in San Lawrenz, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said a study had highlighted the islands could not depend on one fibre optic cable.
"While [Gozo] is showing clear signs of advancement, we need to close the gap between what is offered to Gozitan youth and families and what is offered on the main island," Dr Muscat said.
He said continuous investment would incentivise Gozitan youth to remain on the island.
"We will look back at this time as the period when Gozo reaped its best economic results," he said.
Further investment, such as the Malta-Gozo tunnel, would help provide a major update to both countries' infrastructure, he said.
The tunnel would act as a highway for foreign direct investment to flow towards Gozo in unprecedented levels, Dr Muscat insisted, saying it would give opportunities for Gozitans to work closer to home.

Ohakim's Clarion Call.By COLLINS UGHALLA
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" Matthew 5:9.
Various news platforms: the social media and the traditional media, have been awash with Dr. Ikedi Ohakim's clarion call on his fellow governorship candidates in the just concluded governorship election in Imo State who feel aggrieved and have since filed petitions at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, to withdraw their petitions. Igbo people believe that elders do not sit at home and watch the she-goat deliver her kids in the tethers. As the governorship candidate of the Accord party in the election, Ohakim had more than 1,000 reasons to file a petition against the outcome of the governorship election in the state. But as a foremost leader in the state, he could not sit back and watch things go the wrong way, having fought against the impunity that we had as government for eight years.
Nevertheless, before we go into the meat of this essay, let us digress a little to Governor Okorocha's change of fortune – which has become an embarrassment to humanity – that the executive governor of Imo State could bring himself so low to be accused of publicly looting petty things such as iron rods. The manner of the carting away of construction materials and dismantling of public properties such as furniture, makes one sick. This is worsened by the lame explanations and shameless counter accusation from the government, that the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and their members and supporters are the ones carting away and looting government property.
It is utterly disgusting that a government we called ours could be this cheap. Who sold the idea that contractors own construction materials, apart from their machines, and could move them as they wanted? Who says that the contractor handling a building project for someone now becomes the owner of the cement, sand, gravel, iron rods, etc, on the site? If a contractor could move construction materials at his will, why then does the government supervise the contractors/contracts? Truth is, once a contractor has been paid by the government, the construction materials belong to the government. They cannot be moved by the contractor at will.
It is equally disgusting that the state government is the one defending the unknown contractor. Why can't the contractor speak up and claim responsibility for his actions? Why was it that when the materials were reportedly intercepted by the police it was the Governor and his aides that were said to have showed up? Why was it that it was the Governor that reportedly made the request for five bundles of iron rods? Sad event as this demonstrates that the Governor's trajectory from a hero heralded by the people with music and dance in 2011 to a deserted and jeered Governor in 2019 is nothing short of the magical. This is what a leader should not be.
It should be clear therefore that Ikedi Ohakim is not only a good man, but he served Imo State meritoriously, with clean hands and conscience. The reasons are not far-fetched. Ohakim is a man of integrity. He has character. He is not a looter. He handed over more than N26bn to his successor, Okorocha, in 2011. He also handed over the Imo Roads Maintenance Agency (IROMA) and its asset worth over N12bn. Ohakim also handed over 1,952 water schemes, amongst others.
No matter what happens, Ohakim considers the interest of the state to be far more important than his. For him, his ambition to be the Governor of Imo State for a second time did not require the blood of any Imo son or daughter. Ohakim noted this during the governorship campaigns when he declared that nobody should kill, snatch the ballot box or fight for him. He added that he would not share money or buy votes. And he kept his word.
In keeping with his belief in the overall wellbeing of the state as far more important than the political survival of any individual, Ohakim called on the aggrieved governorship candidates in Imo State to sheathe their sword and give peace a chance by withdrawing their petitions from the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal. He made this call on Tuesday, April 9, at the Rockview Hotel Owerri, during the inauguration of the Inauguration Planning and Hanover Committee by the Governor-Elect, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha. He said that the aggrieved governorship candidates would be helping the state when they withdraw their petitions, saying that he suffered similar fate when he faced more than 20 election suits for the period of four years he was Governor, and therefore would not want Ihedioha to pass through same horrible experiences and distractions.
Ohakim explained the need for the aggrieved candidates to heed his clarion call in his recent interview where he said: "I had to put my personal interest backwards. I congratulated Ihedioha even before INEC declared him the winner of the election. No sacrifice is too much for the state and we must have a state first before we will be able to run for any elective position. There comes a time when we have to put the interest of the state before ours, because I know what I passed through when I was governor of the state. I faced more than 20 legal battles and escaped four assassination attempts and they were too much distractions. I don't want Ihedioha to go through the same thing. I want him to concentrate on the core mandate of governing the state with all the support he can get. If we pull down our state, we have no other place to go".
As characteristic with politicians, Ohakim's clarion call has been misunderstood by some of those who are in court. In their responses they argued that what Ohakim preached to them was not what he did in years past. But they did not say that what Ohakim preached to them to do was the wrong thing. Again, they did not take note of the fact that what Ohakim preached to them is what he is doing now. He is not challenging the outcome of the election at the Tribunal. In fact, he has since congratulated the Governor-Elect. He was the first to do that, especially before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Ihedioha winner.
Ohakim's conviction is that the need to give peace a chance is far more important than any other consideration. There is no need to tear down the house if what we are really seeking is peace and progress of the state. That is what Ohakim meant when he warned that continuing with the court cases would be inimical to the progress of the state. He added that continuing with the cases would scare away development partners and other investors because investors do not invest where there are litigations.
Another seeming misunderstanding of Ohakim's clarion call is the argument that the aggrieved candidates have the right to table their grievances before the Tribunal. There is no doubt about that. Ohakim understands this. That was why he never argued against it but called on the aggrieved candidates to sheathe their sword in the interest of the state. There is a reason the Americans do not challenge the outcome of their elections in the court. Despite the hullabaloo about Russia's involvement in the last presidential election in the US, Hillary Clinton never challenged the outcome of the election in court. Not because she did not have the right to do so, but because it was her own immense contribution to the building of the American state. It was a burden, the pain she had to bear.
No one gets peace and progress from adjudication. The court may give you justice but never will it give you peace, progress and brotherhood. No one buys these things but they abound for free. With the defeat of the Dynasty and Familitocracy Imo people have got their collective justice and peace. They have also got back their shared brotherhood. Any attempt, therefore, to truncate this will no doubt be inimical to the collective interest of the people of the state. Ohakim is living by example and does not want to be part of any move to truncate the hard fought collective victory of the people.
We want to see a situation where elections are concluded without anyone challenging it. Not because the process was perfect but because we want it to be perfect. We want a situation where the outcome of an election is accepted not because we do not know what to do, but because it is our contribution towards building the Imo State of our lofty dreams. In the pursuit of a peaceful and prosperous state, we try as much as possible to reduce rancor and make as much sacrifice as we can. It is part of building the nation, and posterity will smile on us.
Ositadimma (meaning, may it become good from today) is a name the Igbo people cherish and give to their children. Claims to rights, or entitlement mentality, does not resolve all issues. What will maintain the peace we all share in the state now is sacrifice from all and sundry. Ohakim captured this point very well in his interview when he said: "Now, the next thing is for us to ensure that the incoming administration is not distracted. After Okorocha, we need not go through another period of uncertainty, for example, where the governor has to face several court cases. Investors don't go where there are litigations. I am a victim. Our Oak Refinery project could not go ahead because of the court cases I was facing. The investors from Houston withdrew".

Prafulla Chandra Ghosh (24 December 1891 – 18 December 1983) was the first Premier of West Bengal, India from 15 August 1947 to 14 August 1948. He also served as the Chief Minister of West Bengal in the "Progressive Democratic Alliance Front" government from 2 November 1967 to 20 February 1968.

Early life
Prafulla Chandra Ghosh was born in a Yadav Family on 24 December 1891 at a remote village, Malikanda, in Dhaka district, British India (now Bangladesh) as son of Purna Chandra Ghosh and Binodini Devi. Both his parents were religious devout and simple persons. Prafulla Ghosh was a brilliant student throughout his academic life and always stood first with scholarship. Prafulla had very rural upbringing and enjoyed cultural festivals such as Jatra, Kirtan, Padavali Gan, and also participated in agricultural activities.

Prafulla first attended Jagannath College and then moved to Dhaka where he graduated with B. A. (First Class First) and B. Sc (Chemistry) in 1913. In 1916, he obtained his M. A. and M. Sc (Chemistry) as first class first in both. Immediately, he joined research in Chemistry at Dhaka University. In 1919, he joined Presidency College, Calcutta as Demonstrator. In Jan 1920, he started work at Calcutta Mint as ASA master and he was the first Indian to be employed in that position. He was awarded doctorate in 1920 in Chemistry by Calcutta University.

Political life
Ghosh developed an interest in the Swadeshi Movement early on, but was most impressed and inspired by the ideas of armed revolution propagated by the Dhaka Anushilan Samiti, which he joined in 1909. However, the methods of the Samiti for raising money through theft and then defending the same in Court eventually alienated him, and he finally quit in 1913 to focus on academia. During the same time, while working for the Damodar flood relief, he met Surendranath Banerjee and other moderate leaders. Yogendra Nath Saha introduced him to the non-violent principles of Mahatma Gandhi. At the beginning, Gandhian principles did not impress him but he was moved by Gandhi's speech at Dhaka in December 1920 and soon afterwards met with him in Calcutta. In January 1921, he resigned from his position at the Calcutta Mint and along with other members of the Anami Sangh joined the Freedom Struggle.

Family
His great-granddaughter is Priyanka Yoshikawa, who won the 2016 Miss World Japan contest.

Welcome to our school web site. We hope that you enjoy finding out about our school community by navigating your way around.
We are looking forward to having a very busy and happy term 3 of session 2018-2019 here at Ancrum Road.
There were many highlights in term 2 including our APP Halloween and Christmas Discos, which everyone enjoyed with DJ Chris.
Interviews were held for appointing our new Digital Leaders, they were trained and started working with our learners during class time and lunchtimes. They are doing a great job and we hope to achieve our Digital Schools Award by June 2019.
Another highlight of term 2 was seeing our new P5 class orchestras and guitarists in P6 and 7 build their musical and also performing skills. The end of term concerts were fabulous.
We enjoyed taking part in Yoga sessions which were organised for our Fun Fit Fridays in term 2 and continuing to use our kitchen to devlelop cooking and baking skills. We even had a visit from a chef to help us cook some soup!
We invited our parents and carers to join us learn about numeracy and hear from our Acting PT about Conceptual Understanding of Number. This was a very enjoyable afternoon.
We had a very busy Christmas, with many of our pupils performing at local events and visiting senior citizens to bring them some Christmas cheer. Our P1s performed their Nativity to Parents and Carers - it was amazing! We also held a 'Come as you Christmas' day and all donations for this were made into food parcels and Christmas gifts which were distributed to our families and local community.
Ancrum Road Primary School first opened in 1876. We are proud of our school and its history and we are also proud to be working together as a community to build memories for the future. We strive to create a secure and happy atmosphere in our school and welcome visitors warmly.
Parents and prospective parents can make appointments to visit the school by telephoning the school office (01382) 435929.
To see what is happening in our school on a daily basis please visit our Twitter site, where you can request to join our community.
The school currently accepts payments online, using a secure website called ParentPay, for items such as school meals (primary schools only), trips and uniforms. The ParentPay system is easy to use and offers parents the freedom to make payments by debit or credit card, whenever they like, ensuring that monies reach schools safely and securely.
The system helps to remove the costs associated with having to manage cash securely on school premises and it frees up time to better support the smooth running of the school. We will of course continue to accept cash and cheque payments as necessary but we do hope that parents will use the new online facility. The more parents use the service, the greater the benefit to the school, the parents and the pupils alike.
If you already have a ParentPay account you don't have to do anything.
If you haven't yet activated your ParentPay Account, please contact the school office who will reprint your activation letter to enable you to set up your ParentPay account ready for the start of the new term.


As far as I know, this simple procedure has not been properly documented. Therefore, I decided to post it here.
If you are not sure about the parameters to use, contact your network administrator (or your IT department).
> How to see if it's working.
Try a Stata command which requires an Internet connection and see if it works.
If Stata displays a screen with results, it means that it is working correctly.
> Do I have to type these commands every time I open Stata?
No. You may include them in the profile.do file and they will get executed every time you open Stata.
> What is a proxy server?
The detailed technical explanation is extensive. The basic idea is that when you are connecting to a proxy server, you don't have direct access to the Internet and you may have to use a special configuration for certain programs, such as Stata.
If you are connecting to the Internet from a University, a Research Center or a large Corporation, you are very likely to be connecting through a proxy server. If Stata is not configured to use a proxy server, the commands that imply a connection to the internet (such as "findit" or "ssc install") will not work.
