Exactly. The boy-man in that ad doesn't mean gay. Plenty of gay men that women swoon over and are physically fit and "manly" in every other way.
The kid in the ad looks like Pat's spoiled child who has never done a day of real work in his life.
Exactly. Everyone is being forced onto high deductible plans, most without the benefit of an HSA. These families don't have the dough to cover a $12,000 deductible - they are back to praying no one gets sick or in an accident - or facing bankruptcy.
What problem exactly did the so-called affordable care act actually solve? Certainly not the affordability of access to healthcare.
Bump up FICA 2%, expand medicaid and those over 133% FPL pay premiums.
There, your problem of people not able to get or afford health insurance is solved.
We pay more in payroll taxes but keep what we had.
But our government never applies the KISS principle to any social problem.
That's because it was never about "affordable health care" from the begining. It is about control, and manipulation.
Yeh, I don't think gay when I see that picture. I think of someone who hangs out at Starbucks a lot with a superiority complex.
That's certainly better than the "fix" we got from the smartest people ever.
The USG has a program in place that could have easily been expanded.
So the goal was not to offer "affordable health insurance".
Now these people will get subsidized premiums.
The government will send the subsidy to the insurer.
Supposedly this is a future tax credit that people get to take now.
So when they file taxes what happens if they got more subsidy than is calculated ?
Remember they are "estimating" their next year's income.
Say I get $6K in subsidy based on what I think I'm going to earn.
But when I do my taxes it comes out to $4K in credit.
Do I now owe the IRS $2k ?
What happens if you lose your job during the year.
Is the subsidy you took now forgiven and just written off as a loss ?
Or will this be treated like a loan that carries forward ?
We still have a lot of unknowns here that haven't even bubbled up to the surface.
And as far as employer verification of salary…what employer is going to verify "future salary" to the USG ?
I'm not surprised that got dropped and I doubt it will get implemented.
What they should have done is base it on your last year's tax return ..verifiable salary.
This just opens the door to fraud and corruption which we have already seen evidence of.
Wow, that ad is terrible. Hello Pat from SNL! And I'm guessing that unfortunately, us taxpayers are footing the bill for this rubbish.
Yes the "Vote with your lady parts", "War on Women" "from cradle to grave Julia" campaigns were an embarrassment for woman, at least for strong woman. Now they are insulting the millennial.
Obama and his administration thinks we are a bunch of helpless people who needs the government to survive when in fact they need us to buy into their propaganda to survive otherwise they wouldn't spend so much of our tax payer money to try to convince us.
Location: Where it's cold in winter.
I'm so fed up, and sick and tired of this damned administration, Obama and the Democrats. The president is a despot, hungry for power, and bent on destroying Liberty. He is no smarter than the little dictator that controls North Korea, and equally as evil.
I have watched many many hours of ACA hearings & committee meetings on C-SPAN over the past 4 years. Just a few weeks ago I watched them discuss this "claw back" of the subsidies if people underestimate their income when applying for the insurance. And yes, it is supposed to be collected back when you file your tax return.
This is the main reason we are hoping to stay out of Obamacare, we are self-employed and our income changes drastically year to year.
At the same hearing, the IRS officials promised that they would be able to verify incomes on all applicants, much to the disbelief of many at the hearing. The IRS said they had hired Equifax to assist in the verification and would also be using IRS & Social Security records.
Now, this is a few weeks ago, I have no idea if they are actually doing the verifications during the enrollment, since so many changes have happened since the October rollout. I don't know if this is why some people are receiving notices of higher premiums after they apply on the site.
There are so many things we don't know, no matter how vigilant some of us try to be in keeping on top of the bill and the constant changes.

Why We Fry
Redbook examines the psychology of skipping sunscreen -- and flirting with melanoma -- in search of the perfect tan. (Plus, the sunscreens, bronzers, and surprising sun stats that will make you change your risky sunbathing ways.)
By Cheryl Kramer Kaye Published: Jul 5, 2006
I knew better. I'd been indoctrinated since birth against the evils of sun worship, made keenly aware of my family's history of skin cancer -- and endowed with so dubious a supply of melanin that no one ever believed I was from Tucson. Yet, until not so long ago, I succumbed to my desire for unprotected sun. Repeatedly.
Chances are, you're just as guilty. As Redbook's exclusive online poll indicates -- and Neutrogena's cross-country focus groups confirm -- we all know the risks of UV exposure, yet we continue to be seduced by the sun. Ask us why and we'll cite vanity, self-esteem, or some combination of the two. Look good, feel good, goes the maxim, and it's borne out consistently in the focus group responses: "I feel more confident...I look glowing and people notice." Or, "I get more compliments when I'm tan." Then, of course, there's everyone's favorite: "It makes me look thinner."
But looks and self-esteem are only a part of the equation, according to Amy Wechsler, M.D., a New York dermatologist and psychiatrist, who sees sun-worshipping patients all too often in her practice. And she blames the pineal gland: "Light acts on this ancient part of the brain to release calming melatonin, and is also believed to act on other parts of the brain to increase feel-good, depression-fighting chemicals such as norepinephrine and serotonin," she explains. The light doesn't even have to come from the sun: "Full-spectrum lightbulbs, which don't emit UV, replicate the sun's visible light without the skin-damaging effects," says Wechsler.
Still, she concedes that filling your home with mood-boosting bulbs won't completely quell the tanning urge. "Even in medicine, very pale skin is associated with sickness, so who can be expected to forgo a healthy glow?" She also recognizes that a tan helps disguise veininess, cellulite, and acne -- and gives you a magical airlift back to happy, carefree, childhood summer memories.
So what are the skin cancer prevention forces to do? "Most people still think cancer won't happen to them," says Wechsler. "It's more the aesthetic sun damage that freaks women out." In short, vanity is best fought with vanity: Is that transient tan really worth a lifetime of wrinkles, mottling, and rough patches? Certainly not -- especially when convincing faux glows are now so easy to come by. "With fake tanning, there's no downside," says Wechsler. "You get all the color and none of the damage." And if you add a really good sunblock to the equation (SPF 30 is the new 15), "you can still be out in the sun and get the natural high."
But for all the good doctor's wisdom, I now answer to a higher authority: my 3-year-old niece, Sigal. A Tucson girl herself, and the self-appointed SPF police, she won't even hear of going outside until everyone has been duly and copiously "creamed." C'mon. Be a big girl. Don't make her come after you.
See if your mole may be trouble on the next page.
Here's a breakdown of some of the skin spots that may cause trouble. Some are no big deal; others are dangerous.
Name: Seborrheic keratosis
What is that? An accumulation of skin cells that have built up rather than exfoliated themselves off.
Danger level: Safe. "They look scary, but they're not dangerous," says Bank. And they're easily removed by a doctor.
Name: Malignant melanoma
What is that? Melanoma is a cancer of the skin's pigment-producing cells, and the most dangerous of skin cancers. You may have heard to check for the ABCDEs, signposts of a possible melanoma, when examining moles: A) Asymmetrical shape. B) Irregular border. C) Varied color. D) Diameter is greater than a pencil eraser. E) Mole is elevated. Two more clues: A mole suddenly grows, itches, or bleeds. "Or," says Dr. Bank, "it just doesn't look like anything else you have."
Danger level: Danger. "Theoretically, all melanomas should be curable," says Bank, "but as they burrow down into the lymphatic systems, the survival rate drops." Even if none of the ABCDE criteria is met, get an annual full-body exam at the dermatologist's office. If a few of the criteria are met, have the mole checked as soon as possible. And if all five criteria are met, "get in a taxi to your derm's office," says Bank.
Name: Angio-fibroma
What is that? A skin-color combination of broken blood vessels and collagen tissue, often on or near the nose.
Danger level: Safe. They're totally benign, though they can sometimes be mistaken for basal cell cancers. But cancers typically grow and grow, while angiofibromas tend to both swell and shrink.
Name: Actinic keratosis
What is that? A low-grade, precancerous patch of skin. "You feel them more than see them," says Bank. "They feel like fine sandpaper."
Danger level: Caution.The risk of any actinic keratosis becoming cancerous is moderate, but have it removed just to be safe.
Name: Atypical nevus
What is that? A mole that may at one point have had melanoma potential, but now it's fine.
Danger level: Watch. One atypical nevus is usually no problem, but multiple atypical nevi may indicate a greater chance of developing melanoma.
Name: Basal cell carcinoma
What is that? The most common type of skin cancer, basal cell carcinomas develop below the surface of the skin. They can be hard to recognize: Keep an eye out for the "pimple" that won't go away, or a scab that keeps appearing.
Danger level: Warning. Although basal cell carcinomas rarely spread internally, there is the risk of destroying nearby tissue and causing disfigurement. Have it removed sooner rather than later.
Name: Squamous cell carcinoma
This skin cancer is typically a reddish patch on the outer layer of skin that's rough to the touch. Again, watch for that nonhealing sore or scab.
Danger level: Danger. Squamous cell cancers occasionally metastasize internally, so it's important to have them removed early. Certain sites, including lips, scalp, and ears, are more prone to spreading.
Name: Sebaceous hyperplasia
What is that? An individual oil gland that has become enlarged and visible to the naked eye.
Danger level: Safe. Often mistaken for pimples, sebaceous hyperplasias are not at all dangerous and are removable with the V-Beam laser or shrinkable with low-dose Accutane.
Name: Normal mole
What is that? A garden-variety mole is a mark on the skin made by your pigment-producing cells that doesn't meet the ABCDE criteria.
Danger level: Watch. Not dangerous, but always keep an eye out for any changes.

American judge
Abraham Fornander, about 1878
Abraham Fornander (November 4, 1812 – November 1, 1887) was a Swedish-born emigrant who became an important Hawaiian journalist, judge, and ethnologist.
Fornander was born in Öland, Sweden on November 4, 1812, to Anders (1778-1828) and Karin Fornander (1788-1872). His education was under his father, a local clergyman, except for two years in 1822 and 1823 when he attended gymnasium in Kalmar, studying Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. His mother's surname was spelled Foenander, so his surname is sometimes spelled that way.[1]
In 1828, Fornander began his university studies at the University of Uppsala where he studied theology, transferring to the University of Lund in 1830. However, in 1831, he abandoned university studies to attend to his family, which had fallen under hard times. While thus providing for his family, he met and fell in love with his mother's youngest sister, who was four years his senior. After a short, torrid affair, Fornander was forced to leave in disgrace, and so made his way to the Swedish port of Malmö, and then to Copenhagen, from where he set out for the new world.
Whaling career
The next years are poorly documented, but he later wrote that circumstances in America forced him to go to sea, and it seems he became a whaler for the following decade. He joined the whaleship Ann Alexander in New Bedford in 1841, which set out for what would prove to be a five-year campaign in the Pacific Ocean. In 1844, Fornander deserted his ship in Honolulu. Fornander was to stay in the Hawaiian Islands for the rest of his life.
On January 19, 1847, he became a citizen of the Kingdom of Hawaii as he took an oath of allegiance to Kamehameha III, the Hawaiian king. Also in 1847, he married a Hawaiian chiefess from Molokai named Pinao Alanakapu.[2] The couple had three daughters and two sons, only one of whom survived to adulthood; Catherine (1849-1905). His wife died four days after giving birth to their son Charles on January 20, 1857, of puerperal fever.[3][4]
In Hawaii, Fornander did several things. For a time, he was a surveyor and supervised the coffee plantation of English physician Thomas Charles Byde Rooke.[5] Beginning in 1849, as Hawaii began to consider further constitutional change, Fornander began writing for an upstart paper, the Argus, which he eventually took over. He used his paper to advocate responsible government, improvements to public education, and reform. When the paper failed in 1855, Fornander began a new venture called the Sandwich Islands Monthly, which was to cover both items of local interest and discussion of the great scientific, literary, and theological questions of the day. Although the magazine survived less than a year, a recurring theme in Fornander's writing was a concern for the status and condition of native Hawaiians. Fornander then went to work for The Polynesian, a rival publication that he now edited until its demise in 1864.
Life as a public official
In late 1863, the new Hawaiian king Kamehameha V recognized Fornander's talents and appointed him to the nation's privy council, which were thirty of the most distinguished men in the islands. In May 1864, the King made Fornander a judge, a position that he held for less than a year before he was made superintendent of the Honolulu school district, and then in March 1865, Inspector General of Schools for the entire kingdom.[6] Fornander had long been an advocate of public education, and his administration had three main goals: to put the system on a non-sectarian basis, improve opportunities for girls, and improve the teaching of English. The first of these goals won him the increasing animosity of American Protestant missionaries, who saw his attempt at even-handedness as disguised prejudice. By July 1870, their opposition had become great enough to replace Fornander as Inspector General.
The king, however, re-appointed him in May 1871 to the circuit court, a position that he would hold for the next twelve years together with a variety of other governmental boards and commissions. These positions required Fornander to travel a good deal, which allowed him to learn more about Hawaiian mythology and the Hawaiian language.
Account of the Polynesian Race
While undertaking these duties, Fornander had long been developing theories of Hawaiian origins and collecting material for a work setting out his thoughts. In 1877, he finished the first volume of his monumental An Account of the Polynesian Race, its Origin and Migrations, and the Ancient History of the Hawaiian People to the Times of Kamehameha I, which was published in London in the following year. This volume dealt with the hypothesis that the Polynesians were Aryans, both racially and linguistically, who had over the ages migrated through India and the Malay archipelago into the Pacific islands.
Basing his theory on the comparison of Polynesian languages, genealogies, and mythology, Fornander estimated that the Polynesians first entered the Pacific in Fiji in the 1st or 2nd centuries AD. When expelled by Melanesians, the inhabitants made their way to Samoa and Tonga, and by AD 400 or 500, to Hawaii, where they lived in isolation until the 11th century, when new groups began to arrive.
Fornander paid special attention to legends and genealogies that he thought preserved the history of the Hawaiian islands after their settlement--their external and internal wars, dynastic quarrels, and eventually their contact by Captain James Cook and George Vancouver. He later published more volumes in the series, ending with the final victory of Kamehameha I and the consolidation of his rule over all the islands.[7]
The work brought Fornander attention from abroad. He was invited to become a corresponding member of the California Academy of Science in 1878, and in the following year the Hawaiian King made him a Knight Companion of the Royal Order of Kal?kaua.[8] In 1880, he was invited to become a correspondent of the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography (Svenska sällskapet för antropologi och geografi).
Fornander thrived on the international praise that his work had won him, but continued in his various official duties, including serving as acting governor of Maui. In 1886, he began to complain of pain in his mouth, and it soon became clear that he had a malignancy. Although he continued to travel as a circuit judge, the Hawaiian assembly voted him a pension of $1200 per month once he ceased to draw a government salary, together with a $2500 one-time grant to cover expenses incurred in the publication of his research which was described as "the most learned work ever written here [and] a credit to the author, to his adopted country, and to the Hawaiian people".
In November 1886, Fornander was made a Knight Commander of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I, the last man ever awarded that honour, and in December, he was made a Knight of the North Star (Nordstjärneorden) by Oscar II of Sweden, King of Norway and Sweden.
On December 27, 1886, Fornander was appointed an associate justice of the supreme court and he was installed in the position early in the new year. His illness now was too far advanced for him to actually serve. His final months were spent in the home of his only daughter. He died November 1, 1887.
Impact and influence
The obituaries marking Fornander's death praised his contribution to Hawaii as both a jurist and a scholar. The Hawaiian royal family participated in his funeral, and a memorial in his honour was erected in Honolulu, where it still stands today (near Pensacola Street).
His estate left his papers and library to his daughter, who sold them to Charles Reed Bishop. This included over 300 books, in addition to scores of journals, bulletins, and scientific yearbooks. In time the collection passed into the control of the Hawaiian Historical Society, where they still reside.[9]
Bishop had also acquired Fornander's own papers and voluminous notes, which he gave to the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, founded in memory of his wife. These papers, recording many chants, folktales, myths, and genealogies, were finally published as the Fornander Collection. These have Fornander's transcriptions in Hawaiian, together with a later English translation edited by Thomas George Thrum on facing pages, and were published from the years 1916 to 1920.[10][11][12]

Danish broadcaster and telecom firm Teracom, together with global internet of things provider Loriot, is launching a nationwide long-range IoT network in Denmark.
Loriot provides the management system of the LoraWAN-based network. The infrastructure enables IoT applications in a range of sectors, including smart metering, smart farming, smart building and smart city applications.
"The plan and rollout was initiated in 2018. The first phase with outdoor coverage has been completed. We currently cover approximately 95% of Denmark. Plans to cover 100% are in development," Teracom's CEO Martin Lobel, told Enterprise IoT Insights.
"The interest for IoT solutions and the demand for internet of things connectivity is growing dramatically in Denmark. Teracom is fully committed to provide full coverage to the whole country. Loriot's network server solution allows us to easily set-up and manage such a large network and enables our customers to scale their applications," Lobel added.
Julian Studer, Loriot co-founder and COO, told Enterprise IoT Insights that future steps in the deployment include the strengthening of indoor coverage.
Studer said that the company is seeing growing business opportunities in European markets, including Germany and the Nordic countries. However, Loriot also sees Latin America as a future growing engine for the firm.
"The biggest market I see is in Latin America, as this is a very price-sensitive geographical region and IoT is exactly what they need. But this region is lagging 2-3 years behind Europe. However, we have the aim of becoming the largest IoT provider in Latin America," the executive said.
He also said that Loriot has already deployed 11 nationwide IoT networks and plans to complete the deployment of another 5-6 additional networks during 2019.
Studer also said that the company is also working with city governments in Europe, including Zürich, Basel, Luzern, Darmstadt, Munich and Heidelberg, among others.

Q: Proper Way to Integrate d3 into Vue application I have a Vue 3 application that is using d3. Many sources recommend making full use of the Vue template (such as this and this), while others recommend only using a single div for the svg and using d3 for all functionality, styling, etc. I have tried both ways, and using the Vue template seems to be easier and require less code. However, I don't want to run into problems down the road and need to rewrite everything.
What are the pros and cons of these two methods? Is it simply a matter of preference, or are there real performance or other issues with one method?

Fire Continue To Progress Toward Agreement To Play At Soldier Field
The Fire are a "step closer to playing at Soldier Field" after the Chicago Park District voted to "continue negotiations and enter into a permit and operating agreement for the Fire to use the 61,500-seat stadium" starting with the '20 MLS season, according to Morgan Greene of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. CPD Chief Administrative Officer Juliet Azimi said that the agreement includes a "three-year term with extension options for eight more years." The Fire would pay the CPD a "use fee and for operating expenses for home games." The CPD also would "receive a facility fee for each attendee as well as a share of net revenue from parking, concessions and merchandise sales." The Fire for months have been "engaged in negotiations to play at Soldier Field after negotiating to amend their current lease" with the village of Bridgeview, Ill., and leave SeatGeek Stadium. The Fire moved to SeatGeek Stadium in '06 (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 9/12). In Chicago, David Roeder cites a source as saying that among the "points still being worked out is how the grass field can be shared" with the Bears (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 9/12).

Bread is an integral part of everyday life around this home. This bread used for toast is enough to get me started in the morning but you can't forget all of its' other important uses; sandwiches, topping a casserole, seasoned bread crutons, crumbs to thicken sauces, for dipping, the list goes on. It's been some time since we actually purchased a loaf of bread from the grocery store and unfortunately when we do it often goes to waste. We are spoiled by the amazing homemade loaves Matt churns out every few days and it has made it impossible to go back to even the best baked bread you find at the grocery store. While, Matt is extremely modest about his bread making abilities, I am here to confess that despite it keeps him up far too late on work nights, I can not live without it. He makes the process look effortless, patting and kneading the dough with ease and assures me it becomes second nature with practice. Below outlines his method. Left out are the countless hours spent waiting and folding and getting the correct rhythm but I assure you if you are at all motived to give it a whirl (more than one attempt) you will not be disappointed with the results. In fact, I'm fairly confident (like us) you will never want to go back to buying bread.
The directions will depend on your time schedule. Ideally, the night before you plan to bake the bread you will make the leaven by combining 200g room temperature water (preferably filtered), 100g white bread flour, 100g whole wheat flour and 1 tablespoon of the sourdough starter…find recipe for starter here. Stir until all ingredients are hydrated, then ferment overnight in a medium size bowl.
In the morning, mix your dough. Combine 700g room temperature water with 200g of leaven, stir until hydrated.
To this mixture add 100g whole wheat flour and 900g white bread flour. Mix until all the flour is well hydrated.
Turn this mixture out onto the counter. Let rest for 20 minutes.
After the time is up add 20g of salt, this is also the time to add 3/4 cup of sunflower seeds (optional). Combine ingredients well using your hands.
Turn the dough into a round shape and cover with a large bowl. You can also leave the dough in the mixing bowl.
For the next 4 hours stretch and fold the dough at 30 minute intervals. To do this on the counter pull the dough towards you and then fold back to the middle, next to the right side, then left, and finally the side furthest from you. As you bring that last fold in pull it right over the dough to create a ball with surface tension. After the 4 hour time period you will shape the loaves.
Divide the dough in half using a bench knife, shape each half into a round, cover, and let rest for 20 minutes.
Next shape the loaves using the stretch and fold method but this time finish be stretching the fold nearest you back over the remaining dough, then using your bench knife turn and tuck the dough to create a firm round with good surface tension.
Line 2 large bowls with towels dusted with a 50/50 blend of wheat and rice flour. Place the loaves in the bowls seam side up, cover and let rise for 4 to 5 hours at room temperature (75 degrees farenheiht). Note: air temperature greatly affects the rate of rise. The cooler the temperature the slower the final rise. We use proofing baskets with liners from Brotform.
Place a cast iron combo cooker in the oven and preheat to 500F half an hour before baking.
Turn the loaves seam side down into the pan, score the loaves, place the lid on and place in the oven. Reduce the temperature to 450F and bake for 20 minutes. After the time is up, remove the lid and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until the crust is burnished.
Remove the loaves to a rack and let cool for at least an hour before slicing.
This bread is involved and takes practice. After a couple of times you will get a feel for the loaves and be able to churn out very good results every time. I recommend getting the book Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson as that is where this recipe hails from. The book also goes into more detail and has some great instructional photos as well as excellent recipes and variations on the regular country loaf. Also, I insist you get the cast iron combo cooker from Lodge . Baking in cast iron has been a revelation for me, allowing me to achieve professional results in my household oven.
Again, this recipe may seem daunting but you won't be long getting a feel for it. For a little extra inspiration watch Chad make it all look so easy in this video.
Oh no….I was with you til the combo cooker from Lodge. My husband is on a strict no more cast iron order until we purchase our own home with adequate storage space. His grill/griddle already lives in the oven when not in use.
Love the idea of making bread in cast iron though. It looks like it gives it a nice crust.
that is one beautiful loaf. The crumb is gorgeous!


Nearly a decade into their recording careers, Only Revolutions is the sound of Biffy Clyro turning their riffaholic formula into an art form. Channeling the riotous energy of their pulse-quickening live shows, this is a blistering collection of songs that sprints from the giddy desert rock of "Bubbles" (given the royal seal by a Josh Homme guitar solo) to the black-skied balladry at the heart of "Many of Horror" (which was handed an unlikely afterlife thanks to a UK reality TV juggernaut) with effortless ease. A vital, vibrant victory lap.
This album is one of their best. They are a great band.
This album is certainly the best of Biffy, puzzle is an amazing album but biffy seems to continue to pump out amazing songs. Every song on this album is excellent and this is completely worth buying. Not only is the album full of hard rock riffs such as Golden Rule, but it includes soothing and orchesteral instruments that really add to the overall sound of the album. I would not hesitate buying this.

Valerie Azlynn — Crush of the Day
Kyle Dowling
Kyle Dowling Published: July 25, 2012
Today's crush--Valerie Azlynn--is a new addition to the "crush" family, which is fantastic, because it means that we haven't covered every beautiful woman in the world. We thought we were getting close though.
Ever since making the two-and-a-half hour drive from Connecticut to New York City in order to make it as an actress, the now 31-year-old talent has been all over our boob tube. We've been fortunate to see her pretty mug and talented abilities on shows like 'Two and a Half Men' (before Kutcher The Butcher), 'CSI: NY,' 'How I Met Your Mother,' 'Rules of Engagement' and 'iCarly,' and in films like 'Tropic Thunder,' 'Hancock' and 'Bewitched.'
Yet, dues-paying aside, it's finally come time for this crush to toss her one-time TV characters to the wayside and step into a starring role. Valerie's now stars as Melanie Sutton on TBS's 'Sullivan & Son, along side comedian Steve Byrne.
In 2013, Valerie will play the part of Val in the film 'Playdate.' So keep on the look out. Until then, check out 'Sullivan & Son' and gawk at her beauty... but not over your keyboard. That's messy.
Want to see more of her? Sure you do.

The story of this little company began 50-years ago in the home city of the Legendary Beatles. Liverpool was really swinging in the 1960's, overflowing with culture, energy and passion.
The main protagonist of our story is a young gentleman called Steven Hanshaw. Steven (or Uncle Steve as we normally call him, because there are more than one Steven in our family now) was born and bred in the City of Liverpool, England and had been learning about leather from his dad; Crispin Ronald Hanshaw, who was more lovingly known as Pop.
Uncle Steve started his craft by making leather strops (for sharpening Pop's cut-throat razor) and belts for family and friends. He quickly showed his talent for the craft by spanning into other areas such as bags, purses and even clogs!
After a short time, the beginnings of a small workshop slowly established itself in the small brick outhouse in the rear of the family home. Within the local district of Old Swan, Uncle Steve was slowly establishing himself as the local go-to-guy if anyone needed something made from leather.
His workshop was small, half of it used to be an out-house and the other half was previously used for gardening tools, so you can imagine, there wasn't much room. When the weather was good (that simply means not raining as it often does here in England) then Uncle Steve generally found himself working in the yard instead of the workshop as there was more space to work on bigger projects.
Sometimes his younger Brothers and Sisters would be playing in the yard, so he'd then move his workshop to the street. There are seven siblings in his generation of the Hanshaw family! The local Liverpudlian's would walk past and watch what he was crafting. With confidence in his work and never being too shy to talk to passers-by, he would attract more customers as he chatted with them.
The results; Steven Hanshaw had found a way to make a living, using a skill he enjoyed. This hobby-shop wasn't yet a business but it was a beginning.
Quickly Uncle Steve realised that the more people that were able to watch him work, then the more customers he would attract. It wasn't long before he made his workshop fully portable. He bought himself a hand-driven Singer 29k leather stitcher that could be used anywhere because it didn't need power (we still have the Singer 29k leather stitcher to-this-day!) and then he figured out a way to take the remainder of a simple workshop with him.
He would set-up his stall in Liverpool city centre and go to work. Some people would stop and watch, then some people would buy things, and some other people would ask him to make them bespoke items. Saving every penny, he eventually bought a van, he fitted out the back with basic living accommodation and places for his leather and tools, and he went On The Road.
He'd target any place where there was a big event, on the understanding that the more people that saw what he was doing then, the more items he would sell. So particular favourite destinations would be music festivals and sporting events, with Football Matches and National Cycle Races being specific favourites.
Sometime during the summer of 1966, Uncle Steve had set-up his street stall just down the road from the Wembley Stadium. The world cup was in England, and he was taking advantage of the huge crowds it was gathering.
During this time at the front of his street-workshop, was a selection of some of the things he'd made, belts, hair-clips, bracelets, purses and a number of different bag styles, in particular there was a small leather school satchel, which he'd first made a several years earlier because a customer had asked him to make one for her daughter.
A headmaster from a London school was on the way to the football match and was curious as to what the small crowd of people was looking at. He glanced at the stall and spied the satchel. Picking it up, he exclaimed, "Young man, this is just what I have been looking for!" He then asked, "Would you be able to make approximately two hundred?" Apparently, the school he ran was having trouble finding a maker for them!
"Erm…", Uncle Steve swallowed, he knew he was just one man, but the headmaster didn't, so he answered "Sure, two-hundred, not a problem. When do you need them?" His head was spinning from trying to work out how he was going to make so many satchels!
The resulting conversation led to a dialogue that lasted a couple of months. He acquired a letter of intent from the school, and after realising that there was an excellent business to be made making satchels, he spoke to a number of other schools and established the same offering with them.
He was able to put together a business plan. Then he went to the bank, and with the guaranteed orders from the letters of intent, he obtained a mortgage for a professional workshop, was able to establish the business and also purchase enough leather to complete his first batch of satchels.
Shortly afterwards, the two younger brothers got involved in the family business, Barry and Paul, and they established themselves on Smithdown Road in Liverpool.
At the time, Smithdown was an artisan quarter of Liverpool, having many tailors, dress-makers, artists, stylists, galleries and craftsmen.
The building had three floors and a basement, it wasn't the ideal layout for a workshop, but it was a vast improvement from using Pop's yard and outhouse. One thing it did have was a cute little shop window that allowed us to exhibit all the different types of satchels, bags and accessories that we made.
Our primary business was satchels and music cases, but we did make other things for people upon request, the most popular items where custom belts and instrument straps.
Our family business was doing very well, that is to say until the late 1970s and early 1980s, but that was when this happened…
Asian manufacturer's opened its doors to the world. They knew how to make a handful of western bag styles and produced them in every colour, then merely silk-screened on logos or flags as needed.
The big sports brands where now mass importing cheap plastic bags, branded with their logo and they were arriving into the UK by the boatload. In the past quality leather tennis or sports, bags cost several hundred pounds, and now these cheap look-a-like items were priced at around £40. This cheap price gave the opportunity for school kids to be able to use them as a school bag – instead of a traditional hand-made leather satchel. The market in satchels almost entirely died for us.
Over the next few decades, UK manufacturing was torn apart. Tools and machinery from factories were dismantled and shipped abroad and the jobs that they supported no longer existed. During this phase, the UK didn't just lose a chunk of its economy to overseas companies, but a great deal of unique skills were lost because they weren't passed onto the next generation of trades-people. The market got very aggressive. Family businesses couldn't reduce staff numbers or try and get things cheaply made elsewhere because most of their staff were family, so many companies like ours ceased trading or went bankrupt.
Fortunately, over the decades, the three brothers, Steve, Barry and Paul Hanshaw, had developed themselves into a small team of craftsman and they had been invited to join the British Guild of Master Craftsmen. They were capable of making almost anything from leather and carried on the tradition of training other people in the team to the same standard.
The Hanshaws diversified into making all kinds of leather items, not only focusing on products that suited their skill-set of working with heavy, equestrian style leathers with raw edges and exposed stitching but also working with thinner, fashion leathers, heavy fabrics and other materials.
We pulled together and survived the slow dismantling of the UK's manufacturing industry. Then during the 1990s, The Leather Satchel Co. was the only surviving English maker of the Classic Leather Satchel and Music Case.
Now, although we where the last surviving maker in England (some people would even call us the original), you'll find that there exist dozens of satchel companies in the UK nowadays, that mimic our style of leather-work. We even helped some of those companies in their early days by providing them with design samples and prototypes. That's the reason why other companies have satchel and bag designs that are very similar to our own. The likelihood is that you may have probably heard of some of them because a couple of them are bigger than us now!
As the years passed, our team grew and eventually, the next generation of Hanshaws started working in the family business. The first was, Keith Hanshaw, he is the eldest of the next generation of Hanshaws, and then, later on, his cousin, Chris Hanshaw began working in the company, then followed by numerous other members of the family.
As the business grew, they knew the workshop on Smithdown Road wasn't very suitable for them, but they had never got around to moving premises. With the closure of the tannery, Garston Leather, there was no longer any reasonable argument for staying in Smithdown. Chris Hanshaw played a pivotal role in persuading the family to eventually move to a new business unit based in Knowsley, just on the outskirts of Liverpool.
This unit was a single floor and was a lot more practical than the Smithdown workshop, and the family has never looked back – the move was one of the best business decisions made. Knowsley is right in the heart of the UK's manufacturing hub, referred to as the Northern Powerhouse, which is considered an amalgamation of the three northern cities of Liverpool-Manchester-Leeds. In Britain, financial deals are executed in the City of London; Education in Oxford and Cambridge; Whilst the highest density of manufacturing is carried out in the Northern Powerhouse.
The new workshop brought new ambition. Previously we had never been too good at advertising or promoting ourselves, but we decided to see what could be achieved by levering the power of the internet. Keith Hanshaw was given the responsibility of the creative director for this new marketing medium.
Within hours of the products being marketed online orders started flooding in, not just from the UK, but from all over the world. In next to no time we found ourselves exporting our bags and leather goods to almost every country we could dream about.
Keith Hanshaw gradually worked his way up through the business, after starting as a general workshop helper at the age 14, and then doing an apprenticeship at 16 years old. He was then responsible for the creative direction of all the companies online activities. Eventually he became a joint director, alongside Barry Hanshaw (Uncle Steven's younger brother) and then finally today he has taken full directorship of The Leather Satchel Co.
For increased transparency; in 2010, we incorporated our family partnership into a limited company at Companies House to enable our foreign partners to have greater visibility over our financial performance and creditworthiness. One of the secrets of our family businesses resilience is that we fully understand how important it is to excel at customer service.
It is easy to talk about how great a brand is, but to measure the quality and the appeal of a brand is not so much. Then the only real judge is the consumer. Trust Pilot is the UK's biggest independent review website. It provides consumers with an independent forum to voice their views about a company without editorial from the brand or product owners. Since its formation, consumers of our bags have been leaving independent reviews of our brand and products on the Trust Pilot site. During 2014 we were awarded the "Best in Category" for Leather-goods above all other companies in the UK.
2016 saw the celebration of 50-years since Steven Hanshaw founded The Leather Satchel Co. During those 50-years we've worked with huge multi-nationals like Disney and legendary designers like Celia Birtwell, the queen of print (famous for her range of luxury wallpapers) and for our 50th anniversary, we made some exclusive products that had limited availability, along with a number of celebratory events. If you would like to hear more about our company then sign-up to our newsletter.

NBA Trade Rumors: Carmelo Anthony On The Market
By David Coleman Mar 14, 2012, 12:19pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: NBA Trade Rumors: Carmelo Anthony On The Market
Yup, with a little over 24 hours remaining until the trade deadline, we've got a new (though not entirely unexpected) entry into the trading pool: New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony.
At least, that's according to Marc Berman of the New York Post this morning. See, 'Melo doesn't really like MIke D'Antoni and when he wasn't fired after the playoff loss last year, problems arose. Oh, and then, the guy who went and got him, Donnie Walsh, retired. That meant Glenn Grunwald was promoted to the GM job and he's good friends with D'Antoni, meaning the coach isn't getting fired soon.
Add to that problems with Jeremy Lin and Amare' Stoudamire and, well, it looks like Anthony is trying hard to leave the place he just tried so hard to get to in the first place.
Would a trade with the Rockets work? It depends on if the Knicks would want to take Kevin Martin in exchange. I imagine Martin could thrive in D'Antoni's uptempo style, but a guy like Luis Scola doesn't make sense for them and with Baron Davis and Jeremy Lin, the Knicks don't need either Kyle Lowry or Goran Dragic. So, does Martin, Courtney Lee and one of the Budinger-Hill-TWill-Patterson group interest the Knicks? I'm thinking probably not.

World News – GB – Virat Kohli sees MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar records in ODI Cricket Down Under
Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli will do without his deputy Rohit Sharma to lead his boys in the highly anticipated limited-overs series against Australia, starting on Jan.. November. Kohli remains the figurehead of Indian cricket and has a phenomenal record in Australia. In the ODI series, which begins in Sydney, Kohli would have the opportunity to compete against MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar in some of the biggest records.
Over the years, Kohli has produced some of his most memorable performances in Australia. The 32-year-old played Down Under for the first time while Dhoni was in charge of the Indian team, but has since made the country his favorite hunting area. Under his captain, India became the first Asian team to defeat the Aussies in their own den in Test Cricket during the last tour. This time things are likely to get more difficult.
MS Dhoni remains an icon of barbecuing in India, both for his bat skills and leadership. Having won everything for India during his reign, Dhoni has achieved unparalleled success as a skipper in Indian cricket. Even his numbers as a skipper in Australia when it comes to ODIs are impressive given the tough times visiting teams go down under.
In 40 games as captain, Dhoni has won 14 games and lost 21. In comparison, Kohli had a whopping 11 wins in just 14 games as captain. A flawless win in the ODI series would equate Kohli with 14 wins each with his predecessor. Although the task remains difficult, Kohli certainly has authority to complete it.

MS Dhoni: 40 games, 14 wins, 21 defeats, 40 percent profit, Virat Kohli: 17 games, 11 wins, 6 defeats, 64. 70 percent profit
The mighty Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for most centuries in ODI cricket at 49 tons and Virat Kohli is not far on the list at 43 hundreds. Although it will take Kohli some time to beat that record from Tendulkar, he can leave the Master Blaster in another.
Sachin tops the list when it comes to scoring the most centuries in Australia for an Indian by 9. Kohli already has 8 tons to his name Down Under in cricket over 50 and will surpass his icon if he scores 2 more in the 3 match series.
Sachin Tendulkar: 71 games, 3077 runs and 9 centuries .Virat Kohli: 40 games, 1910 runs and 8 centuries

An Iconic Watering Hole
The Australian Hotel, fondly known as 'The Aussie', stands atop Caledonian Hill and is virtually unchanged from Gympie's pioneering days.
On the corner of Apollonian Vale and Lady Mary Tce, the first Australian Hotel was built in 1873 when the license was granted to Mary Jane Catherwood.
She was married and had held two other licenses in Gympie between 1870 and 1873. The public house contained two sitting rooms and four bedrooms plus a number of rooms for Mrs Catherwood's "private use". In 1875, Mrs Catherwood's license application was rejected in favour of a Scotsman, Thomas Findlay, who became the new licensee.
Succeeding licenses included Mary Findlay, wife of T. Findlay (1890-1899), Michael Kearney (1899-1903) and J.Layden (1903-unknown).
In the early hours of Tuesday, May 15, 1917, the Australian Hotel was yet another victim to the fiery end that razed many pubs in last century. The cause of the fire was a mystery, but the site licence, lease and goodwill was purchased by Mr J. Jerks on or about June 28, 1917. He also purchased the One Mile landmark The Cricketers' Arms Hotel on Brisbane Rd for removal.
Built in 1884 by Gympie's leading architect, Hugo Wilhelm Durietz, the Cricketers' Arms, spectacularly, was removed not long after and resurrected to become the current Australian Hotel.
To this day the two story Queenslander still stands, boasting a historically unchanged public bar, dining room, kitchen, large outdoor deck and accommodation which extends onto a vast veranda showcasing spectacular views of Gympie.
"It's pretty special," K. Reeves (prev. owner) said. "It's an old style country pub. "I think Gympie is a town that still lends itself to that style of building."

T. FINDLAY would take this opportunity of returning thanks to his numerous Customers for their past liberal support, and assuring them and the Public generally that he has always on hand none but the best of brands of WINES, SPIRITS, ALE and PORTER. The Additions to the House lately made have rendered it one of the most commodious on the Gympie Goldfields. A first class Table is kept and an experienced Cook. Best Accommodation for Travellers. T. FINDLAY, Proprietor. The Gympie Times Saturday January 4, 1879.
A tender was accepted for the erection of the new Australian Hotel for Mr. J. Jerks.
The price was in the vicinity of 2000 pounds and the building, when finished would resemble the Grand Hotel.
The Gympie Times, 1917.
New Landmark
A START has been made to remove one of the land marks of the One Mile – The Cricketers' Arms Hotel.
The building was purchased by Mr J Jerks for removal and will be re-erected on the site of the Australian Hotel which was recently burned down. The license of the Cricketers' Arms Hotel will be allowed to lapse.

REVO brand ambassador, polar explorer and global warming expert, Sebastian Copeland, will embark next week on an un-assisted 4200 kilometer transcontinental crossing of Antarctica on skis and kites.
Date – Foothill Ranch, Cali. – REVO brand ambassador, polar explorer and global warming expert, Sebastian Copeland, will embark next week on an un-assisted 4200 kilometer transcontinental crossing of Antarctica on skis and kites. Fellow polar explorer, Eric McNair-Landry will accompany Copeland on this 3-month expedition in which they will be creating a new east-west route across the continent as well as commemorating the 1911 discovery of the South Pole by Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen.
For Copeland and Landry, commemorating this incredible discovery will be front of mind, but the duo is also driven by a crucial scientific aim- to photograph ice accumulation in target areas for the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) to aid in the continuing research of global warming's effect on the polar regions.
The estimated ninety day timeframe for the crossing on the largest ice mass on the planet, with an average elevation of 7500 ft, and average temperature of -128F, requires equipment that is fine-tuned for extreme weather conditions. Traveling unassisted on skis and kites also limits the team to only the most essential gear. Sebastian will be using the newly released REVO Guide sunglass for this expedition. This style provides unparalleled performance with a frame and stem designed to wrap around the face and block ambient light reflected off ice and snow, while providing maximum visibility and optical clarity.
The adventure in its entirety will be documented in HD for a planned documentary.
As an award-winning photographer, author, lecturer and environmental activist, Sebastian Copeland has made the fight for the protection of the environment his life's work. His photographic study of Antarctica, assembled in the book Antarctica: The Global Warning, won him the IPA's 2007 Photographer of the Year award. In 2009, Copeland, a board member and tireless advocate for Global Green USA, traveled the Arctic with expedition partner Keith Heger on a journey to reach the North Pole in hopes of raising awareness on climate change and its effects on the Arctic region. The outcome of this voyage is the riveting documentary Into the Cold: A Journey of the Soul (2010). On Greenland, which he crossed in 2010 with partner Eric McNair-Landry, Sebastian set a world record for the longest distance traveled in a twenty-four hour period on skis and kites, with 595 kilometers. As an international speaker on climate crisis for over a decade, Copeland has addressed audiences at the United Nations, the World Affairs Council, the General Assembly on Climate in New Orleans, the George Eastman House, Google Headquarters and to Apple's Senior Design Team amongst others. He has appeared on Larry King Live, NBC, NPR, Air America, and Al Gore's Current TV, as a champion of environmental causes.
In 1985, Revo began as a small sunglass brand with a big idea: technology used by NASA was just as suited for sunglasses as it was for satellites. Today, Revo continues to build on a rich tradition of technology and innovation by creating the clearest and most advanced high contrast polarized sunglasses available. Conscious of the world's social and ecological challenges, Revo strives to act responsibly. Revo's Eco Collection features eyewear made from Revo Re-Useâ"¢, a frame material made from 100 percent recycled pre-consumer polymer resins, and Revo Eco-Useâ"¢, a sustainable take on traditional plastic made from the seed of the castor bean plant in place of widely used petroleum-based nylons. Designed for the active sport and lifestyle consumer, the 100 percent polarized eyewear collection is available at authorized Revo retail locations nationwide. Revo is held by the Luxottica Group (NYSE: LUX ; MTA: LUX), a Milan, Italy-based global leader in premium fashion, luxury and sports eyewear. Additional information is available at www.revo.com.


Metso, manufacturer of equipment used in quarrying, mining and oil and gas industries, has appointed McHale Plant Sales as exclusive agent in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for its mobile rock crushing and screening product lines.
From its headquarters in Helsinki, Metso manages a global enterprise which has a presence in 50 countries worldwide serviced by some 16,000 industry experts. Widely regarded as world-leader in the manufacture of crushing and screening equipment, the company had sales of EUR 3.7 billion in 2014.
Under the new arrangement with McHale, the Birdhill-based company begins selling Metso products with immediate effect with primary focus on the acclaimed Lokotrack mobile crushing and screening plants, equipment that McHale believes will have significant appeal for Irish customers.
The appointment sees McHale Plant Sales return to the crushing and screening market – one in which the company previously enjoyed success. Noting the strong foothold that the company has within the quarrying, construction and civil works sectors - due principally to its work as distributors of Komatsu - its new role returns McHale to a position whereby it can plan for future growth built on its very considerable experience and knowledge of the crushing and screening market.
The expertise that McHale Plant Sales has within the sector is seen by Metso as a feature that should advance its market position in Ireland. This is especially significant at a time when the Irish economy is showing strong signs of recovery with some very significant infrastructural projects currently in the pipeline.
Metso's Lokotrack mobile crushers and screens offer true mobility, high efficiency, quality end products and reliable operation and are engineered and built to work together seamlessly in a wide range of quarry and contracting applications. The new partnership with McHale will offer a superior level of local product support to existing and new customers.
During the start-up phase, both parties will support the appointment through a number of initiatives. On the Metso side, factory support in customer-focused areas such as spare parts supply logistics, technical training and product knowledge communication. On the McHale side, a key objective will be to undertake activities that will increase awareness of Metso crushing and screening equipment on the Irish market. Included in the measures planned is the opening in June of a high-profile Metso centre at Rathcoole, close to Dublin city.
One of Ireland's leading construction plant and civil works machinery distributors, McHale Plant Sales has roots within the sector that date back to the 1950s. Last year, it celebrated its 20th anniversary as Komatsu distributor in Ireland. The company also has significant interests in the agricultural and materials handling sectors.
A Metso Lokotrack LT1213S – one of the high-profile models in the Metso range being marketed in Ireland by McHale Plant Sales. A fully equipped mobile impactor plant with a high-capacity single deck screen and a return conveyor, it can be transported as a single unit on a low bed trailer.
A Metso Lokotrack LT330D - one of the high-profile models in the Metso range being marketed in Ireland by McHale Plant Sales. An efficient contract crushing and screening unit, it uses a Nordberg® GP330™ or HP300™ cone crusher and a DS20-55 Dual Slope screen.

Strong demand drives Clearlake through fundraising
Chris Witkowsky
Clearlake Capital Group is moving quickly through fundraising on its next flagship vehicle and expects to have a strong first close near its target, according to a person with knowledge of the fundraising.
The firm is expected to hold a first close this month on Clearlake Capital Partners IV, which is targeting $1 billion with a $1.25 billion hard cap. The person said the first close will be near the target.
Fund IV could hold a final close this summer.
Park Hill Group is working as placement agent on the fundraising.
Clearlake pre-marketed the fund for months and sources said Fund IV is garnering strong demand.
Along with Fund IV, Clearlake for the first time is raising a $500 million sidecar vehicle, Clearlake Opportunity Partners, for non-control, credit investments. The strategy will be managed by Clearlake's main deal team. That fund has attracted about $400 million and is expected to hold a first close in the summer, the person said.
Clearlake has posted strong performance. It's 2012 vintage Fund III, which closed on more than $785 million, beating its $600 million target, was generating a 34.6 percent net IRR and a 1.3x multiple as of Sept. 30, according to the California Public Employees' Retirement System.
Fund II, which closed on more than $410 million, was producing a 22.8 percent net IRR and a 1.6x multiple as of Sept. 30, CalPERS said.
Clearlake, founded by Steve Chang, Behdad Eghbali and José Feliciano, will move forward with its fresh capital without Chang, who has left the firm, Buyouts previously reported.


Since I've said I retired, I've had so many people come up to me about movies and things like that.
Since I've retired, I eat less, weigh less, train less and care less.
It has been retired. It was gelded after last week. I had to knock its rocks off.
The worst letters come from retired high school English teachers. They will literally take a book and pick it to pieces and send me 14 pages of notes.
I think it is true what they say that retirement is the death of some people, so more and more people are choosing to do work of some sort when they have retired.
It has not been in vain: the good, the enlightened of all ages and nations have found pleasure and consolation in the beauty of the rural earth. Prophets of old retired into the solitudes of nature to wait the inspiration of heaven. It was upon Mount Horeb that Elija experienced the mighty wind, the earthquake, and the fire; and, heard the small still voice. That voice is yet heard among the mountains!


Welcome to the depths of Africa where, amidst the giraffe, drongos and cape buffalo, you will find Mr Bews and Miss De Bruyn.
Mr Bews teaches Madagascar and also has a real passion for sports, making him perfect for the role of PE Coordinator. He also runs School Council. Miss De Bruyn teaches Kenya and is the Maths Coordinator this year.
We feel strongly about having an open door policy and are willing to support any pupil or parent/carer in order for them to be the best that they can be.

New Cairns College Taking Shape While Enrolments Grow
By Caitlin FrancisFebruary 1, 2021March 9th, 2021No Comments
Excitement is building and enrolments are growing as construction continues at Cairns' newest secondary school.
Main building works are starting at Newman Catholic College following a month of demolition and preparation at the school's site on the grounds of James Cook University.
Newly-appointed construction company Bryant Building Contractors met with members of Cairns Catholic Education's Building and Planning Department and the College's architect, TPG Architects, at the site in January.
Representatives from Bryant Building Contractors, Cairns Catholic Education Services and TPG Architects met for a formal handover at the site of Newman Catholic College in January.
Lloyd Matheson, Cairns Catholic Education Services Building and Planning Project Manager, said it was "full steam ahead" for the $26 million project.
"We met with Bryant Building Contractors for a formal site handover this week and they are ready to hit the ground running," he said.
The first development phase will include construction of a four-level building of approximately 7,000m2 containing five design technology classrooms, four science lab classrooms, a library and the administration area, as well as an indoor PE court.
The vertical design of the school also means construction of other facilities, including the multi-purpose indoor hall, breakout areas and undercover open areas, will be fast-tracked and available from opening.
Foundation Principal Lauretta Graham will begin in her role in mid-February and a school office will open at Smithfield Shopping Centre, across from Kmart, on February 17. Enrolment interviews will commence at the end of the month.
Dr Andrea O'Brien, Cairns Catholic Education Services Director of School Effectiveness P-12 and Secondary, said work on the ground was progressing well and enrolment numbers were strong.
"We have taken more than 100 applications so far for Year 7, 2022 and inquiries continue to flow," she said.
(L-R) Cairns Manager of Bryant Building Contractors, Daniel Fragg, Cairns Catholic Education Services Building and Planning Project Manager, Lloyd Matheson, Director of Cairns Diocesan Project and Property Services, Shane Watson, and Roger Mainwood of TPG Architects met for a formal handover at the site of Newman Catholic College in January.
"We had projected a total of about 750 students by 2027, but expressions of interest suggest we will exceed those figures.
"People are excited about the innovative facilities and the emphasis being placed on design, digital and inquiry-based learning, in conjunction with the Australian Curriculum. The co-location with JCU is a major point of interest, given the potential to share facilities and resources."
Newman Catholic College will open with a Year 7 cohort in 2022 initially and add a year level each year to be a full Year 7-12 secondary college by 2027. Construction of Stage 1 is due for completion in December this year.
It is the first Catholic school in Australia to be located within a university precinct, offering unprecedented opportunity for collaboration.
"A taskforce is currently working to explore and develop these opportunities. Possibilities include sharing of facilities and teaching staff, education students mentoring Newman Catholic College students, and students having the opportunity to study university subjects while still at school," Dr O'Brien said.
She said the partnership between Cairns Catholic Education and JCU would benefit all Catholic colleges, however Newman Catholic College's physical co-location would further enable the benefits of that relationship.
Newman Catholic College is accepting enrolment applications through its website newman.qld.edu.au, which also offers detailed information about its design and development.
Academic excellence and pathway options will be a major focus, however equal emphasis will be placed on student wellbeing and fostering a nurturing atmosphere. The buildings will feature abundant natural light, access to landscape views and quiet nooks for down time.
Dr O'Brien said there was a "massive amount" of work taking place behind the scenes to ensure a smooth opening next year.
"Throughout this year, work will continue on policy, processes and guideline development, enrolments, curriculum, and pastoral and wellbeing design as well as the ordering of furniture and resources, recruitment and appointment of staff," she said.
"Consultation has already begun around the uniform, and this will continue once the new principal begins."
Mrs Graham was previously Foundation Principal at St Andrew's Catholic College in Redlynch, guiding the school from 2001 to 2011. For the last nine years, she was Foundation Principal at Mackillop Catholic College in the Northern Territory.
Newman Catholic College will be the 30th school in the Cairns Diocese. A development application has been lodged for a separate Prep-Year 6 school at a site at Kewarra Beach, which would be another feeder school for the College.

Q: Form for an object that has a join table in Rails Suppose I have three tables:

company

*

*id

*name

cars

*

*id

*name

companies_cars

*

*company_id

*car_id

Knowing that a person can have many cars, and that there are already many cars registered in the database, how can I make a form to register a new user and check which cars he has?
This form will have an input field for the name and one check box for each registered car.
I have tried to do it in many ways and looked for an answer in the web, but nothing that I tried worked :/.

A: You can give him select-list with multiple selection:
= form_for @user,
           url: user_path,
           html: { class: 'form-class', method: :post } do |f|
  = f.text_field :name,
                 class: 'name-class'
  = f.select :cars_ids,
             options_from_collection_for_select(Car.all, :id, :name),
             {},
             { multiple: true,
               class: 'cars-class',
               data: { placeholder: 'Select one ore more...' } }
  = f.submit 'Register',
             class: 'button-class'

Then in params (after submission), you will receive an array of ids of selected cars.
I suppose you also should permit cars_ids key in params (I'm not using classic rails-way, so can not check).
And don't forget to create users table, appropriate model etc.

Closing Date for Applications:
UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
For every child, an advocate.
The Office of Global Insight and Policy (OGIP) was established in 2019 to assist UNICEF in interpreting, and engaging in, a rapidly changing world. OGIP serves as an internal think-tank, providing UNICEF with intelligence on a range of issues with implications for children and its work, equipping the organization to more effectively shape the global discourse, and preparing it for the future by scanning the horizon for frontier issues and ways of working.
OGIP has three overarching functions. Though its intelligence function, OGIP conducts analysis on a range of external issues based on soliciting needs across the organization, identifies implications, translates into options or recommendations, and socializes with relevant parts of the organization. Through its global discourse function, OGIP generates critical assets, including The State of the World's Children (SOWC) report, as well as commentary and briefings, to enable UNICEF to more effectively drive the global conversation vis-a-vis children and leverage its normative influence. And through its frontiers function, OGIP analyzes new issues and ways of working to incorporate into UNICEF's core business and next strategic plan where appropriate, and to drive the organization forward.
The finance for development workstream examines how financing can accelerate SDG goals and child development including for humanitarian action, ongoing development needs and risk mitigation, as well as addressing future challenges such as sustainable environment and mitigation of climate risks. It also examines new and innovative approaches and mechanisms for finance for development, including mechanisms that increase capacity for mobilizing additional resources to support development policies and contribute to development outcomes. Additionally, this workstream examines micro-level finance, including the role of household expenditure for children, costing and cost effectiveness of interventions and policies as well as returns on investment in social policies that target children and their families.
How can you make a difference?
As the Policy Specialist, Finance for Development, your functions will include:
Identifying areas for enquiry related to financing for development through horizon scanning and soliciting inputs via consultations with UNICEF offices and partners.
Leading stock taking, evidence generation, and analysis of issues and trends related to financing for development and identifying implication of these for UNICEF's work and children more broadly.
Monitoring the global discourse and policy debate in financing for development and advising on policy advocacy and partnership opportunities.
Fostering strong partnerships with leading institutions and external analysts in financing for development and collaborating closely with other UNICEF divisions, Country and Regional Offices and National Committees to develop a common understanding of relevant policy challenges and their implications.
Supporting exploration of critical policy issues and the development of potential solutions, and options for UNICEF's engagement and positioning.
Providing policy advice and recommendations to UNICEF and external stakeholders on financing for children based on intelligence, analysis and horizon scanning.
Actively supporting the strategic shift of the organization, inclusion of finance for development into key internal strategic documents, development of global policies and stakeholder investments.
Supporting the Policy Chief and the OGIP Director preparation of briefs, background notes, Op-Eds and other products required by the Office of the Executive Director.
Managing consultants and TA staff under his or her supervision in a way that fosters positive working environment, efficacy and drive for results.
To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have¦
An advanced university degree in a relevant area such as economics, international development, or related field.
A minimum of 8 years of relevant work experience in finance for development, budgetary allocation, financial flows, business investment and aid modalities.
Extensive knowledge of humanitarian and development financing, government and ODI budgets, as well as the field of innovative finance.
Research and analytical background including advanced analytical, communication and writing skills and ability to translate complex ideas into accessible and reader-friendly formats and text.
Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with other actors in the finance for development field, including researchers, government officials and other agencies.
Familiarity with UN inter-agency processes related to financing for development.
