EXCLUSIVE: 33% of organisations offer cash to staff who reach lifetime or annual limits
By Louron Pratt	 18th December 2020 11:00 am 18th December 2020 11:06 am
EXCLUSIVE: A third (33%) of organisations offer cash as an alternative to pension contributions for those employees that reach their lifetime or annual allowance limits, according to research by Employee Benefits.
The Employee Benefits Pensions research 2020, which surveyed 94 pension strategy decision-makers found that this year, 49% of respondents that stated that they do not offer an alternative, which reflects previous years' results: 37% said the same in 2018, and 38% in 2016.
The Lifetime individual savings account (Lisa) was launched in April 2017, as a savings vehicle for individuals aged 18-40. The Lisa, originally announced in the March 2016 Budget, allows someone to save up to £4,000 a year until the age of 50. The government will contribute a 25%
bonus when the savings are put towards a first home or are withdrawn as retirement income over the age of 60.
When withdrawn for other purposes, the saver will forfeit the government bonus plus interest, and will also incur a charge. Despite interest from employers, it has never taken off in popularity. In 2016, after the scheme was announced, just 7% of respondents said they would implement it, while 33% said they would not. These numbers have not changed much over the years: in 2017, after the scheme was launched, 3% of employers offered the Lisa, 9% planned to implement it, but 75% said they would not offer. This year's results present a similar picture, as 83% of respondents do not offer Lisa, 8% plan to and just 6% offer it already.

This Cami Dress is such a summer staple! Great for a wedding, girl's night, a day date, brunch...you name it, you can probably wear it! And it's from J.Crew Factory so it comes at a great price as well. I paired it with some bubble gum pink lipstick and nail polish to match (all linked below). My wedges (now on sale!) are super tall, but also quite comfortable. I'm only 5'2" so I love shoes that give me a longer leg and also work well with extra long maxi dresses and palazzo pants.
For my accessories I'm carrying a light tan cross body bag with gold hardware that, like last week, can be worn as one long strap or two shorter straps! My sunnies are pretty much the only ones I wear other than my pink ray bans - they go with everything and protect a good portion of my face from the sun. And how cute is this phone case?! It's from Casetaboo and perfect if you don't want your case to feel cumbersome and thick + it's great if you have a sweet tooth!
Gorgeous outfit...how do you stay so tan!?

Q: central point of a tree? Suppose we have a rooted ordered tree. For each node, we have a linked list of children. P[i] is the sum of distances of node i to all other nodes. Is there an algorithm that we could find one of the nodes with minimal P[i] of the tree(might be several equal P[i]), that in worst case costs O(n) time?

A: Here is some working O(N) code. In this example I use the graph {0:[1,2,3],1:[4,5],2:[6]}
I coded this up for fun. For the graph below it finds the centre is node 0 which has a P[i] value of 9. A mapping from i->P[i] is {0: 9, 1: 10, 2: 12, 3: 14, 4: 15, 5: 15, 6: 17}
nodes={0:[1,2,3],1:[4,5],2:[6]}
PB={}
NB={}
def below(i):
    if i not in nodes:
        PB[i]=0
        NB[i]=1
        return 0,1
    tot_nodes_below=0
    tot_paths_below=0
    for node in nodes[i]:
        paths_below,nodes_below=below(node)
        tot_nodes_below+=nodes_below
        tot_paths_below+=paths_below
    tot_paths_below+=tot_nodes_below
    tot_nodes_below+=1
    PB[i]=tot_paths_below
    NB[i]=tot_nodes_below
    return tot_paths_below,tot_nodes_below

P={0:below(0)[0]}
def fill_P(i):
    for node in nodes[i]:
        P[node]=P[i]+7-2*NB[node] #7 is the number of nodes
        if node in nodes:
            fill_P(node)
fill_P(0)

_min=min(P.values())
answers=[k for k in P if P[k]==_min]
print answers
"[0]"

Explanation:
This code is O(N) (i think right?)
Basically nodes = dict which shows each parent node connecting to its child nodes.
Let T[i] be "tree i". I define this as the subtree starting at node i. (e.g. T[2]=2:6,  while T[0] is the whole tree, T[1] would be 1:[4,5].)
now NB[i] is the number of nodes in T[i].
NB={0: 7, 1: 3, 2: 2, 3: 1, 4: 1, 5: 1, 6: 1}
PB[i] is the sum of distances of nodes from i within T[i]. (so PB[i] would basically be P[i] except we are only looking at T[i] instead of T[0].
PB={0: 9, 1: 2, 2: 1, 3: 0, 4: 0, 5: 0, 6: 0}
See PB[0]=9 because there are 9 paths going to 0 in T[0]. PB[6]=0 as NB[0]=1 etc.
So to actually build PB and NB we need the recursive O(N) function "below(i)".
below(i) starts at the root node and works its way down each subtree T[i]. For each subtree it works out NB[i] and PB[i]. Note the base case of the recursion is trivial, if the node has no child node, PB[i]=0 and NB[i]=1.
To work out PB[i] and NB[i] for a node that has child nodes, we use a recursive formula.
Let node i have child nodes x1..xj  then NB[i]=1+sum(NB[x]).
There is a similar recursive formula to work out PB[i].
PB[i]=SUM(PB[x])+NB[i]    the reason we add NB[i] is because each node below has to travel an extra distance 1 to get from the subtree T[x] to node i.
Once our function below(i) has populated NB and PB, we can use these two results to find out P.
fill_P(i) uses NB and PB to do just this.
The idea is that P[i] will be close to the value of P[j] if nodes i and j are near each other.
In fact lets see if we can work out P[1] using NB[1],PB[1] and P[0].
it turns out P[1]=P[0]+7-2*NB[1]
(we didn't even need to use results from PB, however we needed  PB to get the initial P[0] value).
to see why this formula is true, think about why P[1] isn't equal to P[0]. It helps to have a picture of the tree. Lets split the tree into two pieces by deleting node 1. Now this gives a left side of the tree (which doesn't include node 0) and a right side of the tree which does include node 0). note the left side of the tree is just T[1] and we have results NB[1] for this. P[1] is the same as P[0] apart from all paths from nodes in T[1] travel distance 1 less. All paths from nodes not in T[1] travel 1 further (going through node 0 to get to node 1). The number of paths is simply NB[1] and 7-NB[1] respectively. So we have P[1]=P[0]+(7-NB[1])-NB[1] which gives the formula we require.
Now we have correct P values for P[0] and P[1]. We can calculate values of any child of node 1 or node 0. fill_P just goes through each of the child nodes applying this formula and we are left with the result P. WE just iterate through P to find the minimum and that is our result..
Hopefully this makes sense now cheers.

A: I think you can compute P[i] for all nodes in time O(n) - including of course internal nodes, which will tend to be the ones with small P[i]. After this, finding the smallest P[i] is an additional O(n), so the sum is O(n).
Think in terms of sending messages between nodes. Start with an arbitrary node, which could be the root. To each neighbour of that node, send a request for info about nodes and total lengths. Receive a message from each neighbour giving the number of nodes in the subtree rooted at that neighbour, and the total distance of all nodes in that subtree to that neighbour.
From this work out P[i] for the root, and send each neighbour a message giving the number of nodes and total distance to the root in all of the tree except for the subtree rooted at that neighbour.
In each node not the originator, propagate the first message as a similar request to all neighbours except one sending in the request. Sum up the count of nodes. To each distance add the product of the count of nodes associated with it and the distance to the neighbour sending in the reply. Total up these sums to send back the response to the original request.
When you get a message back from the originator giving the sum of distances and counts for the whole tree except your subtree combine this with the info in the message you sent back to work out your P[i] and totals for the similar message that you send back to the nodes that you sent query messages to.
This ends up computing P[i] at all nodes. Each link between nodes sees only a small constant number of messages. Each message requires only a small constant amount of work (some subtotals need to be calculated as a group total - a small amount). So the cost is O(n).

A: You only need for each node to find the distance to the node(s) furthest from it, NOT the sum. Those with shortest such distance will be the "center" of the tree.
For algorithms you can look here and here
[edit] Possible incomplete (or worse) answer when using sums:
Take {R:(a),a:(b,c),c:(d)} then you get the sums as follows:
R - 8a - 5b - 8c - 6d - 9
which clearly gives a as the central point
However when you the 'traditional method you get:
R-d 3a-d 2b-d 3c-R|b 2d-R|b 3
which gives a and c as central points
This shows at least one case where using the sums will result in an incomplete answer. This prompts the question if there is a case where the sums-method will give an incorrect answer.

Falkirk Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club based in Falkirk, Scotland. They currently compete in Scottish National League Division One, the second tier of Scottish club rugby. The club play their home matches at Cala Park.

History

The club's roots in Falkirk can be traced back through the Falkirk Herald Archives to 1906 when Falkirk Rugby Football Club was first formed. The club is recorded as having played at both the Tryst and Windsor Parks before they became a casualty of the First World War; although the game was still played at Falkirk High School, then part of the Midlands Schools Rugby Association.

For over half a century Falkirk did not feature on the Scottish rugby map until 1972 when the ICI Grangemouth RFC transferred its assets to Falkirk. ICI Grangemouth RFC had been in existence for over a decade, founded in season 1962–63 by ICI employees Bill McMillan and Lyn Jones. The club growth was restricted, however, by ICI and the decision was made to move to Falkirk and start afresh. Bill McMillan was elected as the first club president in 1972 and the clubhouse was opened by Harry Ewing MP in 1980.

For the first 25 years of the new club progress was slow and movement out of the lower league divisions difficult. Three successive relegations had taken the club to a nadir. Club members voiced their concern and a new administration took over in 1997 with Alex McQuade as president elect.

Since 2000

Thereafter the club's first notable appointment was that of former Scotland, Caledonia Reds, Dundee HSFP and Hillfoots prop John Manson as club coach. Under Manson's leadership the club won the Scottish Shield in 2007 and achieved five consecutive league championship titles between 2003–04 and 2007–08. These achievements were recognised by the SRU and culminated in the club being awarded the "SRU Club of the Year" for the 2007–08 season.

Donovan Michael Sullivan (; 29 October 1916 – 28 September 2013) was a Canadian-born British art historian and collector, and one of the major Western pioneers in the field of modern Chinese art history and criticism.

Sullivan was born in Toronto, Ontario, and moved to England at the age of three. He was the youngest of five children of Alan Sullivan (pen name Sinclair Murray), a Canadian mining engineer turned novelist and his wife Elisabeth (née Hees). Sullivan was a graduate of Rugby School and graduated from the University of Cambridge in architecture in 1939. He was in China from 1940 to 1946 with the International and Chinese Red Cross followed by teaching and doing museum work in Chengdu, where he met and married Wu Huan (Khoan), a biologist who gave up her career to work with him.

He received a PhD from Harvard University (1952) and a post-doctoral Bollingen Fellowship. He subsequently taught in the University of Singapore, and returned to London in the 1960s to teach at the School of Oriental and African Studies. Then he became Christensen Professor of Chinese art in the Department of Art at Stanford University from 1966 to 1984, before moving to the University of Oxford as a Fellow by Special Election at St Catherine's College, Oxford. He lived in Oxford, England. He was Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford for 1973–74.

Sullivan was a major art collector who owned more than 400 works of art, including paintings by Chinese masters Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, and Wu Guanzhong. His was one of the world's most significant collections of modern Chinese art. He bequeathed his collection to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which has a gallery dedicated to Sullivan and his wife Khoan.

Q: Is it possible to destroy Dagger 2 graph or clear all memory allocated by it? I build my AppComponent with method like that:
public void buildObjectGraph() {
        component = DaggerMyAppComponent.builder()
                .myAppModule(new myAppModule(this))
                .apiModule(new ApiModule())
                .dataModule(new DataModule())
                .utilsModule(new UtilsModule())
                .backendModule(new BackendModule())
                .build();
        component.inject(this);
}

If I invoke method for the 2nd time it will create another graph with new objects (singletons) instances but previously created graph exists until garbage collected by system. Depending on what kind of objects were created inside of it - it can take time because there might be some async operations, api calls and other stuff that is not needed anymore but still need to finish.
I know it sounds ridiculous to build many graphs but I am using it in testing only.
What I am looking for is to somehow destroy all objects created after 1st invoke of buildObjectGraph(). I can have reference to AppComponent with them.
Is it even possible?

A: You can't explicitly destroy objects in Java. You can hint the garbage collector to garbage collect(System.gc()), but it is not guaranteed at all.

Facebook / Moderator of pro-democracy group arrested
by Jeffrey Nicholson
'Algerie Debout', a popular pro-democracy Facebook group had one of its admins arrested by the Algerian authorities. This follows an intensifying crackdown on voices that criticise the current army chief, Ahmed Gaid-Salah. The group's founder, Sofiane Benyounes, came out to denounce the regime's practices.
This isn't the first time Sofiane Benyounes denounces the authorities' practices, his group was shut down on multiple occasions and its members harassed in the past, however this is the first time a member of the admin team is arrested and interrogated.
In the past, Sofiane Benyounes also denounced the way Facebook handles pro-democracy, groups or pages, based in authoritarian countries. He had made the allegation that Facebook's regional office in the United Arab Emirates was behind the complications the group was experiencing. He had also shared how Facebook would consistently demand the provision of official IDs from the group's members, or have their accounts deleted. As discussed in a previous article, the Emirates have been denounced for their active role in Sudan and Algeria, specifically for working hand in hand with the countries' military commands to counter the countries' pro-democracy movements.
Below is Algerie Debout's full statement on the arrest of its moderator.
Algerie Debout, targeted once again by the dictatorship.
Yesterday, one of the moderators of the group Algerie Debout was summoned and interrogated for several hours at Bab Ezzouar's cybercrime unit, the interrogation focused mostly on me personally, my publications on the army's chief and the activities of the the group 'Algerie Debout'.
Being abroad for personal reasons, the Police has therefore turned to one of our female moderators to gather information about me and the group.
The moderator was forced to open her facebook account on a computer, after which they proceeded to take the informations they were looking for.
I consider this as a serious infringement on the freedom to think and express oneself on a social network in general and a Facebook group in particular that respects ethics, rejects defamation, defends patriotic values and fights for democratic freedoms of opinion and conscience.
I consider that as the group's primary admin, if there is to be an investigation about me, it should only affect me and no one else.
At a time when the leaders of the moment are discussing freedom of opinion and calling for a presidential election supposed to be free and transparent, we use intimidations, we muzzle voices, we attack activists, the plural thought, free expression and the exercise of fundamental rights.
I call on the solidarity of all patriots and democrats so that we remain mobilized on the issues of freedom and rights, at a time when many of our fellow citizens are kept in custody for their opinions, our opinion and our dignity.
We are standing up and not standing at attention!

Wendy Ouali says:
I commend your articles in English. I am British, but lived in Algeria for twenty-three years with my Algerian husband whom I met at university in the UK. I have written three books about my experiences and life there, trying to bring Algeria to the attention of English speakers. The level of English in your articles is impressive, unlike some other publications!

We thank you for you kind comments.

History, future come together
By Erika Perez
Walking past the A.G. Paul Quadrangle, or "Quad" as it's referred to, with its renovated exterior, it is easy to take for granted how historic the Quad really is.
With the newness of the structure, you can't imagine what school activities have taken place or how students spent their time there a mere 20 years ago, much less 85 years ago.
Riverside was one of the wealthiest cities in the nation during the 1920s and its well educated, agricultural community wished to have their children educated without having to send them out of the area.
Thanks to the Thompson Act of 1907, a legislation that enabled high schools to offer post graduate courses, Riverside City College was originally established as Riverside Junior College, a college program offered at Polytechnic Boys High School in 1916.
College courses were first conducted at the original Poly high school site located just northeast of the corner of Terracina Drive and Riverside Avenue (now known as Mine'Okubo Avenue).
During its first semester, 22 classes were offered using 14 rooms in Poly High School.
Urged on by a persuasive campaign led by the students and faculty of RCC starting in 1920, the college moved just a little ways away to a newly constructed campus in 1924.
The Quad was designed by G. Stanley Wilson in the Italian and Spanish renaissance style.
During an interview in 2007, RCC Chancellor Salvatore Rotella said, "In 1992 I first came to Riverside . . . of course, there was no question that the heart and the real core place from where the college evolved is the Quad."
The new separate college campus was bordered by Terracina Drive on the north, Fairfax Avenue on the south and Riverside Avenue on the east and homes surrounded the entire campus.
The original structure included two main buildings, an Assembly and Music hall-library, which is now the north wing of classrooms facing the football field, and what was known as the Science Hall, which is now the east side facing Landis Auditorium.
More structures were added in steps starting in 1928 with an auditorium, more classrooms and faculty offices.
An outdoor stage was constructed in 1932 on the west side, facing into the Quad. The Quad as we now know it was not completed until the late 1930's to early 1940's.
The outdoor stage was demolished in 1968 to make way for a new west entrance, built in 1970-1971 which stood until the last renovation in 2005.
The original parts of the structure still stand and the most recent renovation compliments the style of those parts.
The detail of the original structure can still be seen on the decorative pieces found on columns, windows and entrances.
Part of a sundial stands to this day but is not the original sundial donated to the college in 1923.
The original sundial was stolen and promptly replaced with the existing theft-proof pedestal and a sturdier dial.
Other features are a clock tower in the northeast corner which was part of the original plans but not added until 2005.
A Faculty Emeriti court and memorial were added to the Quad in the 80s and still exist there today.
As the years passed, buildings were added to the original structure to form the existing Quad and the campus expanded to include the old Polytechnic High School site with updated buildings, a new Landis Auditorium and administration offices.
The most recent renovation to the Quad took place a few years ago and as stated by then Board of Trustees President, Mary Figueroa during the 2007 rededication ceremony, "it is the coming together of the history and the future to benefit the students and this community."

Want to hear an intriguing view of life? On Thursday, 7 February, The MU artspace in Eindhoven is screening a short film called 'Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival'.
This English, 82-minute long film will give the viewer a peek into this important, contemporary thinker's train of thoughts. Professor Donna Haraway used to teach in the Departments of History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies at the University of California in America.
In the '80s, she became known for her work in the area of gender identity and technology. She broke away from the prevailing trends and opened the door to bold transfeminism. With her work, this influential scientist, feminist, and lover of science-fiction bridges the gap between science and fiction.
Filmmaker, Fabrizio Terranova, sought Haraway out at her home in California. He just about moved in with her for a few weeks. Terranova did this so he could produce a unique documentary about Haraway. The result is said to be a rare, candid, intellectual portrait of a woman many consider to be a highly original thinker.
This once-off screening will be held at the MU artspace at 40-06 Torenallee. Doors open at 19:30 and the film will start at 20:00. Tickets, which are available at Eventbrite, cost €7,50. Students only have to pay €5.

Artem Anisimov, Blackhawks end Rangers' winning streak at six
The Blackhawks' Artem Anisimov scores his hat trick goal past Rangers goalie Ondrej Pavelec on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2017, in Chicago. Credit: AP / Charles Rex Arbogast
By Steve Zipay steve.zipay@newsday.com Updated November 16, 2017 12:20 AM
CHICAGO — Their six-game winning streak is over, and the collapse was shockingly sudden for the Rangers.
As the Blueshirts' defense vaporized in front of Henrik Lundqvist, former Ranger Artem Anisimov's hat trick in the third period helped the Blackhawks end the Rangers' run with a 6-3 victory on Wednesday.
After playing solid defensively in the first period, the Rangers faltered a little in the second, and when a kneeling Lundqvist allowed Alex DeBrincat's left-side wrister to squeeze through his pads and roll across the goal line with 52 seconds left for a 1-1 tie, that sparked the Blackhawks, who scored three more in the first 5:14 of the third for a 4-1 lead at United Center.
"It [the first goal] changed our attitude and energy level," said Ryan McDonagh. "For whatever reason, we weren't sharp. We couldn't get a handle on a couple of plays, myself included, and they had the skill to make us pay. It's unfortunate that we let it snowball. "
The fourth goal caused coach Alain Vigneault to pull Lundqvist, he said, to try and change the momentum. Ondrej Pavelec, who hadn't played since Oct. 23, came in and Kevin Hayes and Rick Nash scored as the Rangers (9-8-2) tried to rally. But Anisimov tipped a pass over Pavelec at the doorstep for a 5-3 advantage at 16:12 and Jonathan Toews added an empty-netter.
Asked if he was surprised to be yanked, Lundqvist said: "No. Not the way we were playing. It wasn't fun. Those ten minutes killed us."
Anisimov knocked a bouncing puck past Lundqvist at 1:07 of the third after Patrick Kane stole the puck from McDonagh, and John Hayden dived headlong to poke in another at 1:53 for a 3-1 lead. Anisimov scored his second on a power play with Mats Zuccarello in the box at 5:14.

"It's always tough when you let in a goal that late in a period, but we were in a good position. Too many mistakes in front of our net," said Mika Zibanejad. "We probably could have picked up some [of their] sticks there."
Vigneault was equally harsh. "We weren't defending at all," he said. "In the second, Hank kept us in. he made some saves [15] and gave us a chance. We didn't play well enough in the second and third. We didn't deserve to win."
Lundqvist was 6-0-0 with a 2.66 goals-against average and .912 save percentage during the win streak. He has played well against the Blackhawks during his career, going 6-2-2 with a 2.19 GAA and .925 save percentage.
The Rangers had scored the first goal for the third straight game. Chris Kreider shrugged off Tommy Wingels' check behind the cage, saw Zibanejad darting to the crease from the left boards and backhanded a pass to the center, who slammed in his ninth of the season at 9:58.
But that would be all that the Blueshirts, with the third-ranked power play in the NHL, could muster in the first and second periods, despite having six minutes on the power play. They also killed two Blackhawks power plays, with Lundqvist stopping two dangerous slaps shots from Jan Ruuta and Gustav Forsling through traffic on the second.
The Rangers fell to 2-4-0 on the road with a visit to Columbus coming up on Friday.

Do you have things at home that you thought were ready for the rubbish heap?
Here are some ideas for you to breathe new life into old furniture, decorations, etc.
Even old things can be spruced up quickly and easily using spray paint.
A coat of silver paint breathed new life into this old and slightly worn wooden candlestick. The surface of the candlestick was sanded and treated with spray primer to ensure adhesion. The top coat was hubcap silver spray paint.
These old glass coffee jars looked a little boring in the newly renovated kitchen.
they were given a new, bold and sunny color with orange spray paint.
Please note that only the outer surfaces of the jars were painted.
We wanted to paint the cork coasters in a color that would complement the place settings.
The coasters were thoroughly cleaned and then treated with an adhesion bonding spray primer. The top coat is a beautiful orange spray paint.
The dark cupboard doors and window frames were given a light and fresh makeover.
The surfaces were sanded and the original dark surface was treated with an adhesion bonding primer and paint primer to improve adhesion and because the lighter colors provide limited coverage. They were then painted white.
The worn, dark-colored dining furniture for four now has a beautiful new color.
The surfaces were sanded and the original dark surface was first treated with a spray primer to improve adhesion and because the lighter colors provide limited coverage. Then the table was painted with white spray paint.
The pure white table contrasts beautifully with the bright green chairs.
These old, red, metal flowerpots we found in a corner of the cellar were painted to match the rest of the kitchen. Each flowerpot was painted a different color. One was painted orange, another white, and the last was painted silver, all bold and invigorating colors that match the rest of the kitchen decor.
Before the top coat was applied, the flowerpots' surfaces were degreased and then painted with spray primer. The top coat is spray paint.
This wooden fruit bowl didn't really suit the overall look of the kitchen anymore. We decided to paint it an eye-catching white instead.
The surface of the fruit bowl was sanded down until even and then treated with spray primer to ensure that the paint sticks. After that, we spray-painted the fruit bowl white.
The new glass vase needed sprucing up so that it would match the kitchen decor better.
The surface of the vase was cleaned and painted with white spray primer. We only used primer to give the surface a beautiful matt finish.
These brass handles no longer matched the white cupboards, so we painted them silver.
The surfaces were carefully cleaned and sanded to ensure adhesion. The handles were first treated with a spray primer so that the top coat would be as durable as possible. The gorgeous Steelwheel silver spray paint was chosen as the color for the top coat.
The silver handles harmonize with the painted sockets yet provide contrast with the white doors.
The traditional, white light switches and sockets were painted in a stunning silver.
The surface was first carefully degreased and cleaned, then spray-painted with a primer spray for plastic. Once the plastic primer had dried for a few minutes, we applied a top coat of beautiful silver spray paint.
We could also have used the 100 series gold paint for the same treatment.
These washed-out placemats were livened up with a new, fresh green color.
The surfaces were carefully cleaned, then spray-painted with a plastic primer spray. Once the plastic primer had dried for a few minutes, we painted over it with the invigorating green spray paint.
The old-fashioned tiles desperately needed some new color to match the new, light kitchen.
We used white tile paint.
After renovation we noticed that the wood-colored box no longer matched the kitchen's new, fresh look.
We sanded the box surfaces until even and then treated it with a spray primer to ensure adhesion. Then the box was painted with white spray paint. The white box fits right in with the rest of the decor.
This white children's bed was in need of a new idyllic color. We wanted a color that would help the children to drop off to sleep at the end of the day.
The surfaces were carefully cleaned. To ensure good paint adhesion, the bed was treated with a spray primer. A beautiful pastel blue spray paint was chosen as the color for the top coat.
The dark window frames were painted white to bring some light into the room.
We were ready to throw this block game away but after a new coat of green paint it's as good as new!
The surfaces were sanded and cleaned carefully to ensure good adhesion and durability. Then they were painted with spray primer followed by a coat of green spray paint.
This little chair was given a makeover to suit the bedroom. It was first carefully disassembled into its component parts.
All of the parts were carefully cleaned and the metal parts were painted with spray primer to ensure good paint adhesion and durability. Then the leather seat part was spray-painted white using white vinyl paint while the metal parts were painted with blue spray paint.
The wooden surfaces were carefully cleaned to ensure good paint adhesion and durability. Then they were painted with spray primer followed by a top coat of white spray paint.
We wanted to paint this old, worn cot a beautiful white color.
The wooden surfaces were sanded and cleaned carefully to ensure good adhesion and durability. Then they were painted with spray primer and a top coat of spray paint was applied.
We painted this old white lamp a beautiful shade of blue.
The electrical components of the lamp were protected carefully with tape and the surface was carefully cleaned.
The surfaces were then coated with spray primer and then spray-painted a beautiful blue color.
This picture frame no longer suited the calm decor in the room, so it was painted blue. The wooden surfaces were sanded and cleaned carefully to ensure good adhesion and durability. Then they were painted with spray primer and a top coat of blue spray paint was applied.
The white, traditional radiator needed a bit of a kick. The radiator's electrical parts were carefully protected. It was then thoroughly cleaned and painted using a white spray primer. Then we painted it a beautiful deep blue color.
The blue rocking horse needed an extra spring in his step. The surfaces were sanded and cleaned carefully to ensure good adhesion and durability. Then they were painted with spray primer and then green spray paint.
We wanted to see these old and worn toy boxes in a fun, happier color.
We painted one box a bright white color and the other a cheerful orange to bring lively contrast to the toy corner in the otherwise calm bedroom.
The wall picture was painted using a custom ready-made stencil.
The paint was applied using a sponge.
We also wanted to paint the worn wicker baskets in the chests of drawers in a new color. They are now a beautiful pastel blue, which goes well with the white chest of drawers.
The wicker surfaces were sanded and cleaned carefully to ensure good adhesion and durability. Then they were painted with spray primer and a top coat of pastel blue spray paint was applied.

I decided not to take the boat tour because those who went yesterday spent most of their time walking around on a sandbar. They did see large pelicans but I didn't think it was worth it so I went back into Saint Louis.
I spent the rest of the morning in a hotel lobby drinking beer and using their wifi, then met the group for lunch. We ended up separating because The Flamingo was almost triple the price of other places. I tried a new restaurant and had thiéboudienne. It's a local dish of flavoured rice, topped with a spicy vegetable salsa, grilled fish - probably mackerel or herring, then roasted carrots, cassava and turnip. It was delicious!
After, I went back to the hotel for wifi and to wait for the rest of the group to finish their carriage ride before going back to the campsite.
We're waiting on a driver to return from Dakar with our carnet for insurance for the truck. Because he hasn't arrived, we are spending another day in Saint Louis. Not sure what I'll do!

Al voltant de la pel·lícula
 L'Última Casa a l'esquerra  és la primera pel·lícula del realitzador americà Wes Craven (Scream , Les urpes de la nit...).
 El rodatge s'ha desenvolupat del 2 d'octubre al 6 de novembre de 1971 a Long Island, Nova York, Redding i Westport.
 Es tracta d'un remake d'una pel·lícula sueca, La Font, dirigida el 1960 per Ingmar Bergman.
 La pel·lícula també va ser objecte d'un remake el 2009: L'Última Casa a l'esquerra de Dennis Iliadis.
 A destacar, una petita aparició de Steve Miner, realitzador de lAssassí del divendres (1981), Homicidis en 3 dimensions (1982), Warlock (1989) o Day of the Dead , 2007), en el paper, que no surt als crèdits, del hippy que es burla de l'adjunt del xèrif.
 La pel·lícula va ser prohibida al Regne Unit durant 30 anys.
 Jonathan Craven, el fill del cineasta, fa una petita aparició en el paper d'un noiet amb una pilota.
 Al començament del llargmetratge, una indicació ens descobreix que la història es basa en una història real.

Hand injuries can range from minor to catastrophic. Many heal fast with proper care, but severe hand injuries such as serious burns, crushing or amputation can affect the rest of your life.
Follow safe work practices at all times. Before using tools and equipment, review the manufacturer's instructions for safe use. Use push sticks, tongs and other tools that allow you to handle materials without exposing your hands to direct contact with moving machinery or harmful chemicals. Make sure machine guards are in place before operating equipment. Be on guard for pinch points – places where your hands can be crushed between two moving objects or one that moves and another that is stationary. Always wear the correct gloves to guard against the specific hazards you are likely to encounter.


Daniel Goleman defines emotional intelligence as an individual's skills to control impulses, to self-motivate, to have empathy for others, and to create positive, social interpersonal relationships. Children can learn and use these types of skills in an emotional intelligence classroom to get along better with their peers, to have more self-confidence, and to even succeed with their daily work.
Children who participate in emotional intelligence activities and learn empathy and conflict resolution at a young age, can practice these skills every day just like math or reading, to grow up and become a well-adjusted adult. Providing emotional intelligence activities will help your students practice these skills.
One large component of an emotional intelligence classroom is learning to handle conflicts in a positive way. Teaching emotional intelligence to students means teaching them conflict resolution skills. They will learn from conflicts they have with their peers, learn to control their temper, and to handle conflicts in a timely manner through emotional intelligence activities such as role playing and classroom meetings.
Providing role playing opportunities about common playground or lunchroom problems is a good place to start with emotional intelligence. Children do not just know how to positively resolve conflict from birth. They have to be taught conflict resolution and practice these skills with their peers.
The best way to teach conflict resolution skills is to first make-up a pretend, but realistic, conflict in the classroom and practice the skills through emotional intelligence activities. Then when actual conflicts arise among your students, they will already know about controlling their impulses and having empathy for the other person. The hardest time to teach conflict resolution is when emotions are high after a conflict.
Make up a situation in your classroom that could actually happen such as two students arguing over where they are going to stand in line when they line up. Both want to be the line leader.
Ask the class what impulse these two students may have when they both want to be line leader. (Two possible answers are: race to the front of the line or push each other out of the way).
Discuss with the class the possible reasons why each person might want to be the line leader. Talk to the students about empathy–understanding why the other person also wants to be a line leader.
Brainstorm positive ways to solve this conflict, such as: one child is the leader on Monday, the other child is the leader on Tuesday; or one can be the leader going to recess, and the other can be the leader on the way back.
Implement the conflict resolution plan once the brainstorming is over. Students must choose the solution they think works the best to solve their problem.
With ideas and themes from Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence book, teachers can show students how to resolve conflicts in a positive way and improve their peer relationships. Taking time for emotional intelligence activities will benefit everyone and turn your room into an emotional intelligence classroom.


Hardcover. New York, 1st, February 1984, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 168 pages, b&w illustrations, 48 tipped-in color plates. Light edge wear to dust jacket. Small mark on fore-edge. Else a very clean, tight copy.


While I received this book years ago for review, I couldn't get into it back then. Years later, I pulled it back out to give it another shot, as I really do like the plot for The Girl She Used to Be. In the end, it's the characters I still struggled with.
Bored of her current living situation, Melody fakes a problem and readies herself for another change of location, name, and career. Before the move is finalized however, the mobster's son does find her and offers her a chance at a life she's never experienced, the chance to be herself. All she has to do is turn her back on the government and put all of her trust in him.
There in starts a book that's part crime drama and part romance. The Girl She Used to Be did hold my attention, but after Melody meets Jonathan I started to lose interest. Melody came off as a strong, tough female lead, but she turns a bit sappy when she meets Jonathan and starts making decisions I had to question. Falling in love so quickly, especially with the son of a man who you know is dangerous and has played a role in the death of others, including your parents, I just couldn't understand why someone so smart would make such a foolish decision.
In the end, I still liked The Girl She Used to Be, but I didn't love it as much as I did in the beginning.

Yanacocha Mine, Peru
Granja Porcón
The Mining Process
The expanding Yanacocha Mine dominates the land change seen in this series of images. Operated by the Newmont Mining Corporation in Greenwood Village, Colorado, the Yanacocha Mine is the second largest gold mine in the world, and the largest in Latin America. Consisting of seven distinct deposits, the open pits cover over 30,000 hectares of land.
The mine is located about 45 kilometers from Cajamarca in northern Peru on top of Yanacocha Mountain at an altitude of 4,700 meters, nestled in the Andes Mountains.
Mining operations at Yanacocha have been continuously expanding since 1993. Production peaked in 2005 when the mine produced 3.33 million ounces of gold. In 2014, just over 1 million ounces of gold came out of the mine. As of December 31, 2014, reserves are estimated to be 155 metric tons of gold.
In these false-color Landsat images, the expansion of the open pit mining is shown in varying shades of pink. Green is vegetation, and agricultural areas near the city of Cajamarca (visible as bright pink and purple shades) appear as bright green in the bottom center of the images.

I've lived in the Seattle area for much of my life, though I spent 4 years in Minnesota as an undergraduate (St. Olaf College) and 10 years in Northern California as a graduate student and teacher (UC Berkeley). My husband of 28 years and I met in Kindergarten, when my mom bought homemade puppets from his mom. We have 3 children, one in high school, one in college, and one in Denver (he's the recent college graduate.) A few years ago we added a Norwegian Buhund to our family; she loves to join us on hiking and snowshoe adventures. She has not, however, shown an interest in two of my other favorite activities: cycling and Nordic skiing.
Reading allows us to experience emotions, adventures, relationships, times and places that no one person could embrace in a lifetime. It helps us define who we are, both individually and culturally. Writing and speaking enable us to share who we are with the world. As a high school English Language Arts teacher I want to help students develop the competent literacy skills that will aid them in these discoveries and allow them to become fully voiced participants in a democratic society.
My past teaching experience spans a variety of ages in diverse settings, but the content has always involved books or bikes (sometimes both.) I have taught reading and composition in the college classroom and led Classic Books discussion groups in elementary school. As a cycling instructor I have worked with home school families, senior adults, and P.E. teachers. Most recently I have volunteered as a tutor in two public high schools, serving in the literacy and ELL support rooms for 9 years. I particularly enjoy creating modified high school Language Arts curriculum for emerging readers and writers. Finding texts that are rich and accessible, and creating assignments that require strong critical thinking while developing foundational reading and writing skills, are both challenging and exciting. Of course, my greatest teaching reward lies in the success of my amazingly capable, kind, and often hardworking students.
Expected outcomes are expressed as program standards, which are aligned with State-designated teacher preparation approval criteria shown in WAC 181-78A-270. Program standards include criteria (e.g. 1.), elements (e.g. 1.1), and examples. Any level of the program standard is appropriate for reflection, feedback, or evaluation.
1. Expectations – The teacher communicates high expectations for student learning.
Teacher recognizes the value of understanding students' interests and cultural heritage and displays this knowledge for groups of students.
Teacher's explanation of content is appropriate and connects with students' knowledge and experience.
The lesson has a clearly defined structure around which the activities are organized. Pacing of the lesson is generally appropriate.
3. Differentiation – The teacher acquires and uses specific knowledge about students' cultural, individual intellectual and social development and uses that knowledge to adjust their practice by employing strategies that advance student learning.
Teacher recognizes the value of understanding students' skills, knowledge, and language proficiency and displays this knowledge for groups of – students.
Teacher makes a minor adjustment to a lesson, and the adjustment occurs smoothly.
Teacher persists in seeking approaches for students who have difficulty learning, drawing on a broad repertoire of strategies.
4. Content Knowledge – The teacher uses content area knowledge, learning standards, appropriate pedagogy and resources to design and deliver curricula and instruction to impact student learning.
Teacher's plans and practice reflect familiarity with a wide range of effective pedagogical approaches in the discipline.
All the instructional outcomes are clear, written in the form of student learning. Most suggest viable methods of assessment.
All of the learning activities are suitable to students or to the instructional outcomes, and most represent significant cognitive challenge, with some differentiation for different groups of students.
The lesson or unit has a clearly defined structure around which activities are organized. Progression of activities is even, with reasonable time allocations.
5. Learning Environment – The teacher fosters and manages a safe and inclusive learning environment that takes into account: physical, emotional and intellectual well-being.
Teacher-student interactions are friendly and demonstrate general caring and respect. Such interactions are appropriate to the age and cultures of the students. Students exhibit respect for the teacher.
Transitions occur smoothly, with little loss of instructional time.
Efficient systems for performing noninstructional duties are in place, resulting in minimal loss of instructional time.
Standards of conduct are clear to all students.
Teacher is alert to student behavior at all times.
6. Assessment – The teacher uses multiple data elements (both formative and summative) to plan, inform and adjust instruction and evaluate student learning.
Assessment criteria and standards are clear.
Teacher plans to use assessment results to plan for future instruction for groups of students.
Teacher's feedback to students is timely and of consistently high quality.
7. Families and Community – The teacher communicates and collaborates with students, families and all educational stakeholders in an ethical and professional manner to promote student learning.
Teacher communicates with families about students' progress on a regular basis, respecting cultural norms, and is available as needed to respond to family concerns.
8. Professional Practice – The teacher participates collaboratively in the educational community to improve instruction, advance the knowledge and practice of teaching as a profession, and ultimately impact student learning.
Relationships with colleagues are characterized by mutual support and cooperation.
Teacher welcomes feedback from colleagues when made by supervisors or when opportunities arise through professional collaboration.
There are different formats for writing portfolio entries. However, responding to writing prompts 1-6 helps to address desired performance on professional knowledge and skills, along with identifying steps for having a greater impact on K-12 student learning.
1. Citation of the program standard (either criteria, element, or example) along with an interpretation of what the standard means.


Tyler describes our different types of corbels and how to install them.
Our corbels are strong and easy to install. Tyler is available to help you choose the right model. Call or text him at 970-690-0503.
Increasingly, customers are using our corbels for open kitchen shelves instead of upper cabinets.
We use only the finest solid maple, solid cherry, solid oak and solid poplar for our corbels. Our corbels are meticulously sanded and all edges have been neatly rounded over. They are ready for you to stain or paint. See our Finishing Tips.
We have perfectly designed two versions of our line of countertop corbels for maximum strength and ease of installation. The basic difference is the countertop/corbel installation sequence. One is intended to be installed prior to your countertop and the other is intended to be installed after your countertop is installed. Quite often countertop installers have a preference regarding this installation sequence, therefore we suggest that you discuss this with them.

Joining MacIntyre onstage will be his fellow Magic Circle co-founder, Maggie Petersen (above). Both have backgrounds in theater as well as music — MacIntyre as a hornist, Petersen as a pianist.
The company has been around since 1978, but MacIntyre traced its origins back even earlier to an opportunity he received with the Spokane Symphony not long after graduating from college. The music director at the time, Donald Thulean, wanted MacIntyre to help develop the orchestra's educational concerts, which would tour all over the region, often performing at high schools.
That same year, MacIntyre was introduced to Petersen, which proved timely. The musicians wanted to pull a gag on the conductor during the final concert of the tour, and they wanted MacIntyre to plan it. His new friend came to mind. So at one point in the concert, MacIntyre's character — a hopeful-opera-singer of a mime — tapped on a drum case, and out popped his surprise accompanist.
From there, word got out, and a call came in from another orchestra hoping to enlist the actors' talents. The duo decided to get more proactive. They approached the Seattle Symphony, writing two shows for them before becoming resident artists of the orchestra. "And that was too good to pass up," MacIntyre said. That served as a springboard to two shows written for the Mostly Mozart Festival, including this Friday's Mozart-themed program.
One big surprise as the company grew was international opportunities, which have now brought them to four other continents. "That was something we just didn't see coming at all, and it's been a wonderful change," MacIntyre said. "As mimes we don't speak in many languages, so we've worked really hard at getting good translations," he joked.
