DayZ shambling over to PS4
Categories: Gaming Videos, General Gaming News
Bohemia Interactive has finally made the jump to the PS4 with one of their flagship games. DayZ is a zombie survival shooter with incredibly intense multiplayer action, and it's finally coming to the PS4, And it only took more than four years for it to finally happen.
DayZ has been around since 2012, when it got it's start as a mod for the popular military-sim ArmA 2. The mod evolved a ton since then, eventually being branched off and becoming a standalone title in 2013. The team powered on, despite losing the original creator of the mod in 2014. The next four years were a flurry of updates and new features as the zombie shooter crept toward it's own full release. In 2018 all the effort came to a head when the game launched it's 1.0 version in December, but not before joining Xbox Game Preview last August.
And now, after originally being announced by Bohemia in 2015, DayZ has finally made the leap to a new console.
Check out the gameplay trailer for the new PS4 release down below. DayZ is available now on the PlayStation Store and costs £39.99/$49.99 USD.
Bohemia plans to keep up development on this new version, and hopes to bring it up to feature and performance parity with other versions soon. The addition of base-building is a big goal, while the developers also plan to continue ironing out performance problems and squashing bugs.

Students at KEA are taught in small groups for all core subjects, including writing and science. By fostering an environment in which students learn in small groups, they get a more personalized education that meets their individual needs and they receive instruction at their level. Whole group instruction where one teacher teaches to the average student is eliminated. Differentiation in a whole class setting is very difficult for teachers; small group instruction allows for built-in differentiation. Groups are determined by STEP test results before students even begin the school year. The groups are fluid based on interim test scores. Day by day, the students rotate between 30 minutes of phonics-based instruction, 30-50 minutes of comprehension and vocabulary-based instruction, and 30 minutes on the computer.
KEA's instructional program is built on the fierce commitment to putting every possible resource toward ensuring that every child reads at or above grade level: high-quality instruction, parent empowerment, every possible reading intervention, and excellent attendance must all be aligned in support of this goal.
KEA uses Reading Mastery for Phonics, which the teachers supplement heavily based on student achievement data. For developing their reading comprehension skills and strategies, KEA uses Scholastic's Guided Reading program, which is also heavily supplemented based on the needs of the students. The driving force of instruction is the results received from the STEP test. The test is given on an interim basis five times a year and the data is used to inform goal-setting, planning, and day-by-day instruction.
KEA uses Singapore Math as their main curriculum for math; it is also heavily supplemented with additional content to ensure that all standards are met throughout the school year.
For science, the school uses hands-on units of study from Delta in kindergarten and first grade, and in first grade and higher, the students will use the Engineering is Elementary curriculum from MIT. Not only is it inquiry-based science, but it also incorporates engineering.
Social studies is integrated into writing instruction. Social Studies themes are taught through read alouds during writing time. The school has an anti-racist pedagogical approach to teaching social studies content and social justice themes. The teachers are proactive about helping students to learn their history and culture in addition to what is recommended in the state standards.
Based on these criteria, the team selected iStation for ELA, Compass Learning for Math, Learning.com for Technology, and Study Island and Teachermate for at home activities. Recognizing that the market was still evolving, as was the school design, leadership took the philosophy that any content not deemed suitable could be changed out for Year 2.
Home activities: Eliminating Study Island and Teachermate. Study Island was not sufficiently strong on instruction and some of the interfaces were not age appropriate. The Teachermate devices were difficult to maintain, and required significant time from the Instructional Assistant to support.

Great press releases do more than keep the media and the industry-at-large informed of your company's recent developments. They are meant to pique the interest of journalists, who may seek to cover the topic further. Crafting a great press release is often the first step in securing a magazine feature, newspaper article, feature, blog article or television/radio interview – thus, more visibility and greater brand awareness.
Is there anything "new" in my story?
Would this be of interest to anyone outside my business?
If you're not sure whether your story is newsworthy, read, watch or listen to the publications or programmes you'd like coverage in to get a feel for the kind of stories they typically cover.
The beginning of a press release, just as with a magazine article, book or promotional flyer – is the most important. A strong headline (and, for that matter, email subject line when you send out the pitch) will pull in journalists seeking good stories. Your headline should be as engaging as it is accurate.
Journalists are busy people, you must assume that they will only read the first sentence and then scan the rest – and even that is a generous assumption. Get the message of your press release out quickly. Every important point should be addressed in the first few sentences to include 'who, what, where, when, why.' The subsequent paragraphs should be for supporting information.
Know what your media audience are looking for, then tailor and target your information to suit their requirements. E.g. the local media will always look for the local angle so it's best to use this as your opener; and trade media will look for the most relevant 'hook' for their audience. This may mean you have three different versions of the same press release, but it will help you to secure a wider range of coverage.
When you send a press release to the media, it's a good idea to include a short outline of your idea (no more than a paragraph) and where you think it might fit in the publication you're pitching to. Paste your press release underneath, as a busy journalist may not bother to an open an attachment. Photos can be helpful if they add something to the story, but avoid sending big files that will clog up peoples' inboxes.
It's easy to fill up a page with a creative, colourful narrative. Leave the artistry to the writers – pack your press release with hard numbers that support the significance of your product or announcement. If you're claiming a trend, you need proof to back it up. Quantify your argument and it will become much more compelling.
Proofread your press release – and ensure two other people proofread it as well – before sending it out. Even a single mistake can dissuade a reporter from taking you seriously. Maybe ask someone else to read through it and check it one last time.
Including a good quote from someone in the company or close to the product/event can give a human element to the press release, as well as being a source of information in its own right. Inclusion of a third party quote of endorsement can also help add a layer of credibility to the information you prepare e.g. a customer, an MSP, or an industry body.
A common oversight that can render a press release ineffectual is a lack of contact information for reporters to follow up with. Whether you or someone else at the company is the point of contact, do not forget to include an email address and phone number on the release.
As with most good writing, shorter is usually better. Limit yourself to one page (usually 300-400 words), though two pages is acceptable. If yours is longer than that, you've probably got unnecessary waffle that doesn't add anything to your story. This will also force you to condense your most salient information into a more readable document – something journalists are always looking for.
Don't be tempted to include background information about your company in the opening paragraph. This – along with any other additional information – can always be included in a "notes to editors" section at the end (It's fine to run over to a second page for this).
Sub-headings and bullet points can be useful to make information easy to digest, particularly if you're including figures or statistics.
You should limit your press release to one page (or two, if you must), but that doesn't mean you can't show people how to learn more. Providing relevant links to your company's/clients' website, where prospective writers can learn more about your mission and what you've already accomplished, is a crucial element to the release. Don't make writers search on their own for more information – guide them as quickly as possible to your website, or the best place to find out more.
And finally … aim high, but be realistic in your expectations. Most journalists are swamped with press releases, so it may take you a few attempts and a bit of chasing to land press coverage for your business or client. Don't give up though; determination and a willingness to learn can take you a very long way!
Considering journalists are flooded with potential stories and pitches on a daily basis, making yours stand out from the pack is crucial. While the format for a press release is basic, the content of the release should be anything but. Follow these ten tips to write a great press release that will make your company/client look professional, accessible and attractive to writers looking for stories.

Morgana Festugato was Born in Torres, Brazil in 1969.
She's specializes in Portraits and Pinup Art, in which the combination of photography and painting reveals her delicate alchemy.
Beauty, she says, "is a larger range of possibilities" - something beyond what we see. It is exactly this "hidden-something", that catches Morgana's imagination, as she can bring out all those characters in each one of us. Through her eyes, her lenses and her paintbrushes, personal stories are re-told.
She transcends the constraints of both forms, to produce stunningly contemporary, yet timeless, original pieces of work.
In particular, this tension between art and machine, as with portraiture at its best, Morgana liberates the uniqueness of her subjects' essentials; their smile, the tilt of their head, and their posture.
This awareness of her subjects commences long before the first click of the shutter while she is preparing her models using her talents as a make-up artist. In fifteen years time, Morgana's work has turned into an object of desire both in Brazil and internationally.
To capture the essence of human nature fascinates the Brazilian photographer. For her incredible results, she has been nicknamed "the image fairy".

These guidelines have been produced to guide clinical decision making for the medical, nursing and allied health staff of Perth Children's Hospital. They are not strict protocols, and they do not replace the judgement of a senior clinician. Clinical common sense should be applied at all times. These clinical guidelines should never be relied on as a substitute for proper assessment with respect to the particular circumstances of each case and the needs of each patient. Clinicians should also consider the local skill level available and their local area policies before following any guideline.
To provide guidance to PCH clinical staff on the vaccination schedule and prophylactic antibiotic therapy for children who have no spleen (asplenia) or a non-functioning spleen (hyposplenia).
Splenic infarction and or sequestration e.g. sickle cell disease.
Other imaging modalities such as MRI/CT can further delineate anatomy in heterotaxy syndrome with polysplenia and rarely technetium 99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy considered.
Education: All patients and families must be provided with education (both verbal and written) and an Asplenia/hyposplenia management plan (PDF 134kb) and the Asplenia and Hyposplenia vaccination and prophylaxis Health Fact sheet (PDF 140kb). A copy should be given to the patient/family, GP and any other care providers. A referral for further advice can be obtained from the Specialist Immunisation Clinic at Perth Children's Hospital.
The patient should be strongly encouraged to wear a Medic Alert bracelet (external site).
Further resources are available for patients and families on the Spleen Australia website (registration not currently available for patients in WA).
Management of suspected infection: Urgent presentation to hospital when febrile (temperature > 38°C) or with rigors or acutely unwell is essential in patients with asplenia/hyposplenia. In this situation, blood cultures should be taken and broad spectrum empiric antibiotics commenced as per local guidelines (Refer to the ChAMP Guideline for Presumed Bacteraemia/Sepsis).
Prophylactic antibiotics should be administered until patients are at least 5 years of age and for at least 2 years following splenectomy (see below). Lifelong antibiotic prophylaxis may be warranted, given patients are at lifelong risk of severe sepsis; this should be addressed on a case by case basis.
Vaccinations: Individuals with asplenia/hyposplenia importantly should be up to date with routine vaccinations (see online WA immunisation schedule), particularly Haemophilus influenzae B (Hib) and require additional pneumococcal, meningococcal, and annual influenza vaccination, due to their increased risk of overwhelming sepsis. Refer to the Asplenia/hyposplenia management plan.
For elective splenectomy, vaccination should be administered at least 2 weeks before surgery is performed. However, if this is not possible, start vaccinations approximately 1 week after surgery, prior to discharge, with a vaccination plan in place.
For patients who have not been immunised prior to splenectomy and will be receiving immunosuppressive chemotherapy, vaccination advice from the treating Oncology Consultant or Immunisation service, Infectious Diseases should be sought.
Household/close contacts of individuals with asplenia should be up to date with age appropriate recommended vaccinations, including annual influenza vaccination. The use of live vaccines in contacts of immunocompromised persons is safe, and strongly recommended.
A PCH Clinical Alert must be in place for all asplenic / hyposplenic patients. The treating team should complete a 'Clinical Alert notification form' for entry onto webPAS by Clinical Coding. Refer to the Clinical Alerts Policy in the PCH Operational Manual.
Due to higher disease burden and the potential for poorer antibody responses, children diagnosed with asplenia/hyposplenia at age ≤ 12 months are recommended to receive an additional 13vPCV dose (4th dose) and 3 lifetime doses of 23vPPV. Catch-up schedules for children diagnosed at an older age are outlined in Table 1.
# 13vPCV (Prevenar13)/ 23vPPV (Pneumovax23); route IM, dose 0.5ml. The minimum interval between 13vPCV dose(s) is 1 month if aged <12 months, and 2 months if aged ≥12 months. The minimum interval between 13vPCV (recommended to be given first) and 23vPPV is 2 months. If 23vPPV is given first, a minimum interval of 12 months is recommended before 13vPCV can be given.
** The first 23vPPV dose should be given at age 4-5 years and at a minimum of 2 months after the last 13vPCV dose. The second dose of 23vPPV is recommended 5 years after the first and at a minimum of 2 months after 13vPCV. The third 23vPPV dose should be approximately 10 years after the second, or at age 18–20 years, whichever is later.
+ Menactra (MenACWY) should not be co-administered with 13vPCV as Menactra may interfere with the immune response against some pneumococcal serotypes. If co-administered, the 13vPCV dose should be repeated a minimum of 8 weeks later. Menveo and Nimenrix can be co-administered with 13vPCV.
All patients require additional vaccines against N. meningitidis, which are hospital funded, including vaccinations against meningococcal ACWY (4vMenC) and meningococcal B (MenBV).
2 8 weeks If primary course completed at ≤ 6 years of age - 3 years after completing primary schedule, then every 5 years thereafter. If primary course completed at ≥ 7 years of age – every 5 years after completing primary schedule.
Menveo or Niminrix are the preferred brands over Menactra. Menactra should not be co-administered with 13vPCV as Menactra may interfere with the immune response against some pneumococcal serotypes. If co-administered, the 13vPCV dose should be repeated a minimum of 8 weeks later. Menveo and Nimenrix can be co-administered with 13vPCV.
+All MenBV vaccines (Bexsero & Trumenba) route IM, dose 0.5ml. 4vMenC and MenBV can be given at the same time. Prophylactic use of paracetamol is recommended when MenBV is administered to children < 2 years of age. There is an increased risk of fever when MenBV is co-administered with other routine vaccines, however this is not a contraindication.
£ All children with asplenia require annual influenza vaccine at the start of each influenza season, given their increased risk of severe infection.
* If the child/adolescent with asplenia has had a solid organ or haematopoietic stem cell transplant, 2 doses of influenza vaccine are recommended during their first year of influenza vaccination after transplantation.
# For all Hib containing vaccines; route IM, dose 0.5ml. The minimum interval between primary doses for Hib is 4 weeks. Hib age appropriate combination vaccines are acceptable, e.g DTPa- HepB-IPV-Hib (Infanrix-hexa) on schedule at 6 weeks, 4 and 6 months. Monovalent Hib vaccines (Hiberix & Act-HIB) are registered for use in infants and children from age 2 months – 5 years.
Prophylactic antibiotics should be administered until patients are at least 5 years of age and for at least 2 years following splenectomy. Lifelong prophylaxis may be warranted and must be addressed on a case by case basis.
Refer to the Asplenia/Hyposplenia Management Plan. Further advice can be sought from an Infectious Diseases Specialist.
Standby antibiotics should be supplied if immediate access to medical care is not available (e.g. whilst on holiday or if living in remote areas). In this circumstance if a patient with hyposplenia/asplenia develops a fever (temp > 38°C) or rigors or is acutely unwell, they should commence the standby antibiotic immediately and seek urgent hospital/medical review.
All hyposplenic/asplenic patients travelling to developing countries may be at risk of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, Salmonella infection and Babesiosis (rare tick infection). Infectious Diseases advice should be sought on antimalarial prophylaxis, mosquito avoidance and additional travel vaccines required prior to travel.
There is an increased risk of severe sepsis following dog, cat or other animal bites/severe scratches (e.g. due to Capnocytophaga canimorsus, streptococcal sp, anaerobic bacteria). Early medical attention and antibiotic prophylactic treatment with Augmentin duo (Amoxycillin/clavulanic acid) is recommended.

Gifts, entertainment and hospitality are acceptable if they are reasonable, proportionate and made in good faith and in compliance with our Company Policies.
Examples of gifts, entertainment and hospitality include the receipt or offer of gifts, meals or tokens of appreciation and gratitude, invitations to events, functions, or other social gatherings, in connection with matters related to our business. Such activities are acceptable provided they fall within reasonable bounds of value and occurrence.

If you find it difficult to provide a comfortable answer to one of the above questions, ask your Manager.
What to do when you doubt if you can accept? If you are unsure if you should accept something of value; ask your Manager. If your Manager is participating, seek a higher-level Manager advice.
As a general rule, CCEP employees and business partners should not provide gifts or hospitality to, or receive them from, a government or other public official (or their close families and business associates). You may give a modest gift to these parties when appropriate and allowed by local law provided you discussed it with and received written approval in advance from your Manager.
Facilitation payments are not allowed. If you are unsure whether certain payments represent facilitation payments, please contact your Manager.
You must follow CCEP processes and adhere to the system of internal controls around supplier selection. Supplier selection should never be based on receipt of a gift, hospitality or payment. When supplier selection is a formal, structured invitation for the supply of products or services (often called a 'tender'), it is most important we maintain documentation supporting our internal controls. In the public sector, such a tender process may be required and determined in detail by law to ensure that such competition for the use of public money is open, fair and free from corruption.
A tender process includes an invitation for other parties to make a proposal, on the understanding that any competition for the relevant contract must be conducted in response to the tender, no parties having the unfair advantage of separate, prior, closed-door negotiations for the contract where a bidding process is open to all qualified bidders and where the sealed bids are in the open for scrutiny and are chosen on the basis of price and quality.
You are not allowed to make political contributions from Company funds without authorization. Political contributions, as permitted by law, must be approved in advance by the Managing Director.
Contributions made by CCEP to community projects or charities need to be made in good faith and in compliance with this Anti-Corruption Policy and all relevant CCEP's Policies and procedures.
Expenses must never be hidden or purposefully misclassified. Many serious global bribery and corruption scenarios are found to involve inaccurate record-keeping. It is important to ensure to maintain accurate books, records and financial reporting.
All business areas must maintain an effective system of internal control and monitoring of our transactions. Certain monitoring controls are identified in our policies, specifically regarding approval of travel and entertainment expenses. It is each employee´s responsibility to be knowledgeable of control procedures and ensure compliance.
CCEP takes corruption and bribery very seriously. Any violation of this policy will be regarded as a serious matter by the Company and is likely to result in disciplinary action, including termination, consistent with local law.
Bribery can be a criminal offense. Each employee can be held accountable whether he/she pays a bribe him-/herself or whether he/she authorizes, assists, or conspires with someone else to commit bribery.

Total War: Sherman's March to the Sea
In March 1864, President Lincoln named General Grant commander of all the Union armies. Grant then developed a plan to defeat the Confederacy. He would pursue Lee's army in Virginia, while Union forces under General William T. Sherman pushed through the Deep South to Atlanta and the Atlantic coast.
Battling southward from Tennessee, Sherman took Atlanta in September 1864. He then set out on a march to the sea, cutting a path of destruction up to 60 miles wide and 300 miles long through Georgia.
Sherman waged total war: a war not only against enemy troops, but against everything that supports the enemy. His troops tore up rail lines, destroyed crops, and burned and looted towns.
Sherman's triumph in Atlanta was important for Lincoln. In 1864, the president was running for reelection, but his prospects were not good. Northerners were tired of war, and Democrats-who had nominated George McClellan-stood a good chance of winning on an antiwar platform.
Sherman's success changed all that. Suddenly, Northerners could sense victory. Lincoln took 55 percent of the popular vote and won re-election. In his second inaugural speech, Lincoln hoped for a speedy end to the war: "With malice towards none; and charity for all; …let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; …to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace."
In December, Sherman took Savannah, Georgia. He then sent a telegram to Lincoln: "I beg to present you, as a Christmas gift, the city of Savannah, with 150 heavy guns and…about 25,000 bales of cotton."
Total War and Sherman's March to the Sea brought a swift end to the war.

Q: YA Book (series?) - Trying to find a SF story about a young girl raised by a robot on an alien world? I was at a Science Fiction Convention in February and at a panel a writer was talking about Young Adult Genre crossing over into SF Genre with the focus on identity.
Since that is a common theme in YA books he brought up a book that he mentioned 'might not be in print any longer' so as it sounded very interesting I had made note of it, but somewhere along the line I lost the info.
In this book a young girl raised by a robot on an alien world and while she saw herself as human something had happened to her ( I think the robot might have used some kind of re-engineering on her so she could survive on the planet or perhaps she was disfigured or maybe she's not human, I'm not really sure ) so that she didn't look human.
As a result she was never allowed to look at herself in a mirror, or something, so when other humans finally found her it was hard for them to see her as human, ergo the identity aspect of the book: What makes one human? Is she human if she believes she is?
A few other details that I recall: She lived in a harsh world, everyone else in her group or settlement or whatever was dead and I had the impression they may have lived in a cave or something (though that could be wrong).
Now I never read this book and am not sure if I'm explaining it very well, I'm not even sure if it's from the 50's 60's 70's or 80's but I don't think it's more recent then that, so I hold no real belief that I can find the answer to WHAT IS THIS BOOK? even here...
Still I thought I might give it a shot as the story sounded very interested.

A: The Keeper Of The Isis Light by Monica Hughes.
After her parents died when she was a baby, her guardian robot genetically modified her so that she could live in the uplands of the planet Isis, where radiation levels were high. She developed lizard-like skin.

Ordinul Virtuti Militari (în limba latină "Pentru virtute militară") a fost creat în 1792 ca cel mai înalt ordin militar al Poloniei. Ordinul răsplătește curajul deosebit în fața inamicului și este una dintre cele mai vechi decorații militare care mai este încă în uz. Unele dintre faptele eroice recompensate de Virtuti Militari sunt identice ce cele răsplătite de ordinul britanic Crucea Victoria, Medalia de Onoare americană sau de ordinul românesc Mihai Viteazul. Ordinul Virtuti Militari este acordat pentru eroism personal sau pentru victorii remarcabile obținute de comandanți militari în fruntea unităților lor.

Ordinul a fost creat în 1792 de regele Stanislaw al II-lea al Poloniei. La scurtă vreme după crearea ordinului, statul polono-lituanian a fost distrus în de împărțirile Poloniei în 1795, proces în care, puterile cuceritoarea au abolit decorația și au interzis purtarea ei. Din acel moment, ordinul a fost reintrodus, redenumit sau interzis de mai multe ori, sorta lui reflectând istoria zbuciumată a poporului polonez din acele vremuri. De-a lungul existenței sale, ordinul a fost decernat mai multor mii de soldați și ofițeri polonezi sau străini, mai multor orașe și unui vas militar. După 1989, nu s-a mai ivit prilejul pentru decernarea Virtuti Militari.

Începuturile

De-a lungul istoriei, Virtuti Militari a avut aceeași soartă cu cea a Poloniei și a fost abolită și reintrodusă de mai multe ori.

Ordinul a fost creat la data de 22 iunie 1792 de regele Poloniei Stanislaw al II-lea pentru răsplătirea învingătorilor din bătălia de al Zieleńce. La început, ordinul avea două clase: clasa I, medalie de aur pentru generali și ofițeri și a II-a, o medalie de argint pentru subofițeri și soldați. În august 1792 a fost conceput și statutul decorației, care era bazat pe cel al medalia împărătesei Maria Tereza a Austriei. În timp, statutul ordinului a schimbat forma decorație de la cea de stea la cea de cruce, formă care nu s-a mai schimbat în mod substanțial. De asemenea, au mai fost introduse alte trei clase.

Primii militari decorați au fost participanții la războiul polono-rus din 1792, în total 63 de ofițeri și 290 de subofițeri și soldați. Statutul ordinului nu a fost niciodată tradus în viață complet, iar, la scurtă vreme după înființarea ordinului, regele s-a alăturat Confederația de la Targowica și, pe 29 augst 1792, regele a abolit decorația și a interzis purtarea ei. Toți cei purtau medalia erau alungați din armată.

Deși pe 23 noiembrie 1793 Seimul de la Grodno a reintrodus decorația, ea a fost interzisă din nou pe 7 ianuarie 1794 la insistențele împărătesei Ecaterina cea Mare. Doar un an mai târziu, statul polono-lituanian a împărtășit soarta celei mai importante decorații militare a sa și a fost anexat de vecini în timpul unei serii de partiții. Regele Stanisław August Poniatowski a abdicat în același an. În timpul domniei sale au fost decernate 526 de medalii: 440 de argint, 85 de aur și o cruce a comandantului.

Ducatul Varșoviei

În 1806, generalul locotenent Józef Poniatowski a fost promovat în funcția de comandant suprem al tuturor forțelor Ducatului Varșoviei, statul efemer polonez aliat cu Napoleon Bonaparte. Poniatowski era decorat cu Virtuti Militari și a insistat foarte mult pentru reintroducerea decorației. În cele din urmă, pe 26 decembrie 1806, regele Saxoniei și duce al Varșoviei, Fryderyk August Wettin, a acceptat propunerea de reintroducere a ordinului Virtuti Militari ca cea mai înaltă distincție militară pentru toți militarii polonezi care luptau alături de armata franceză în războaiele napoleoniene. Numele oficial al decorație a fost schimbat în cel de Medalia militară a ducatului Varșoviei. În rândurile soldaților polonezi însă, medalia a fost în continuare cunoscută ca Virtuti Militari. Decretul regelui Saxoniei a introdus de asemenea nou sistem de clase, care nu a mai fost abolită de atunci:

 I – Marea Cruce Cu Stea (Krzyż Wielki z Gwiazdą) pentru comandanții supremi;
 II – Crucea Comandantului (Krzyż Komandorski) pentru comandanții de divizii;
 III – Crucea Comandantului (Krzyż Kawalerski) pentru generalii de brigadă, colonei și maiori;
 IV – Crucea de Aur (Krzyż Złoty);
 V – Crucea de Argint (Krzyż Srebrny).

La început, fiecare comandant de armată avea o cotă de Ordine Virtuti Militari care să fie conferite soldaților. În scurtă vreme însă, sistemul a fost modificat, ordinul fiind decernat în mod centralizat pentru acte individuale de curaj și vitejie soldaților nominalizați de comandanții lor. În conformitate cu decretul din 10 octombrie 1812, fiecare soldat sau subofițer decorat cu Crucea de Aur sau Crucea de Argint, avea dreptul să primească un salariu anual până la înaintarea la un grad ofițeresc sau, dacă era demobilizat sau trecut în rezervă, pe toată durata vieții. În plus, în timpul războaielor napoleoniene s-a fixat tradiția ca cei decorați cu Virtuti Militari să primească ordinul în fața frontului unității din care făceau parte. Între 1806 – 1815 au fost decernate 2.569 de ordine soldaților polonezi care au luptat pe diferite fronturi, de la Santo Domingo până în Imperiul Rus și din Italia până în Spania.

În această perioadă au fost decorați cu Virtuti Militari personalități precum generalul Jan Henryk Dąbrowski (1755–1818), organizatorul "Legiunilor poloneze din Italia" și generalul Józef Chłopicki (1771–1854). Pe 20 mai 1809, sergentul Joanna Żubr a devenit prima femeie care a primit Virtuti Militari (clasa a V-a) pentru participarea sa la asaltul de la Zamość.

Polonia Congresului

În 1815, în timpul Congresului de la Viena, marile puteri europene au reorganizat continentul după încheierea războaielor napoleoniene. Ca urmare a acestei redesenări a hărții politice a continentului, a fost creat Regatul Poloniei, cunoscut și sub numele de "Polonia Congresului". Acest stat, care avea doar o zecime din suprafața fostei uniuni polono-lituaniene și doar o cincime din populația ei, era legat printr-o uniune personală cu Imperiul Rus. În Polonia Congresului, Virtuti Militari a fost redenumită "Medalia Militară Poloneză" (Medal Wojskowy Polski). Au fost păstrate atât statutul ordinului Virtuti Militari cât și privilegiile asigurate celor decorați. A fost creată o comisie specială care să se ocupe de acordarea ordinului veteranilor campaniilor napoleoniene din 1812, 1813 și 1814. Până în 1820 au mai fost decernate 1.213 de ordine. Printr-un decret regal de pe 5 iunie 1817, toți cei decorați cu Crucea de Aur au fost înnobilați.

În acele vremuri, Regatul Poloniei era una dintre puținele monarhii constituționale ale Europei. Împăratul Rusie era din punct de vedere legal regele Poloniei. Polonia avea una dintre cele mai liberale constituții ale Europei secolului al XIX-lea, deși era foarte diferită de Constituția Poloneză din 3 mai a fostei uniuni statale polono-lituaniene. Aspirațiile polonezilor pentru libertate și pentru păstrarea privilegiilor au fost sursă de fricțiune pentru relațiile polono-ruse. Principala problemă era aceea că țarii, care dețineau puterea absolutistă în Rusia, doreau să nu aibă niciun fel de îngrădire a puterii lor și în Polonia. Când în 1825, țarul Nicolae I a refuzat să accepte coroana de rege al Poloniei, dar a încercat să limiteze libertățile polonezilor, Seimul (parlamentul polonez) a hotărât să retragă țarilor dreptul de a mai fi numiți regi ai Poloniei. În momentul în care a izbucnit Insurecția de noiembrie, țarul a reacționat dur, trimițând trupele ruse pentru înăbușirea mișcării poloneze.

După izbucnirea revoltei împotriva Rusiei, Seimul a dat un decret pe 9 februarie 1831 prin care Ordinul Virtuti Militari și-a reprimit numele original. Între lunile martie și octombrie ale aceluiași an, au fost decorați 3.863 de soldați, printre aceștia aflându-se și trei femei, care au primit Crucea de Argint.

După înfrângerea insurecției, țarul Nicolae I a abolit decorația și a interzis purtarea ei. Pe 31 decembrie, Virtuti Militari a fost înlocuită cu "Semnul Polonez al Onoarei", o copie exactă a crucii originale, acordată doar rușilor pentru servicii aduse autorităților țariste.

Republica Polonia

După ce Polonia și-a recăpătat independența în 1918, a fost proclamată A doua Republică Poloneză. Noul Seim a reintrodus Virtuti Militari pe 1 august 1919 cu numele oficial de "Ordinul Militar Virtuti Militari" (Order Wojskowy Virtuti Militari). A fost votat un nou statut al decorației și a fost readoptat sistemul de clase de pe vremea Ducatului Varșoviei. În conformitate cu noul statut, crucile fiecărei clase puteau fi acordate diferitelor clase de soldați și pentru diferite merite:

 Marea Cruce cu Stea, clasa I – pentru comandantul care obține o victorie într-o bătălie de importanță strategică, care duce la înfrângerea totală a inamicului, sau pentru o luptă de apărare încununată de succes, care decide soarta unei campanii.
 Crucea Comandantului, clasa a II-a – pentru comandantul care obține o victorie tactică importantă, sau pentru o luptă de apărare încununată de succes a unei poziții dificile.
 Crucea Cavalerului, clasa a III-a – pentru ofițerii, subofițerii și soldații obișnuiți, decorați deja cu Crucea de Aur, pentru acte de vitejie remarcabilă sau pentru conducerea remarcabilă în luptă a trupelor de sub comanda sa.
 Crucea de Aur, clasa a IV-a – pentru ofițerii care-și comandă trupele din subordine cu vitejie și curaj remarcabile și pentru subofițerii și soldații de rând care au fost deja decorați cu Crucea de Argint pentru acte de vitejie remarcabile pe câmpul de luptă.
 Crucea de Argint, clasa a V-a – pentru ofițerii, subofițerii și soldații de rând pentru acte de vitejie remarcabile pe câmpul de luptă.

Fiecare militar decorat, indiferent de grad sau funcție, primea un salariu anual în valoare de 300 zloți. De asemenea, militarii decorați aveau și alte privilegii, precum dreptul de preemțiune la cumpărarea unor terenuri aflate în proprietatea statului sau prioritatea la obținerea unui post de stat. Copii acelorași militari primeau puncte suplimentare în timpul examenelor la școlile de stat de toate nivelurile. Subofițerii și soldații de rând aveau dreptul să fie înaintați la gradul imediat superior și iar cei care aveau același rang militar erau obligați să-i salute.

Noul capitol (Kapituła Orderu Virtuti Militari) al decorație cuprindea 12 persoane, în frunte cu mareșalul Józef Piłsudski, singurul polonez în viață decorat cu Marea Cruce cu Stea. Ordinul Virtuti Militari era sărbătorit cu ocazia zilei naționale – 3 mai.

Pe 22 ianuarie 1920, pentru a comemora aniversarea izbucnirii Insurecției din ianuarie, au fost decorați cu noua serie a Ordinului VIrtuti Militarii primii soldați și ofițeri pentru faptele lor de vitejie din timpul primului război mondial și al celui polono-ucrainean. Până în 1923, când s-a încetat decernarea noilor medalii, au fost decorați 6.589 de militari. Cei mai mulți decorați erau veterani ai războiului polono-sovietic, dar și alți veterani ai războaielor începutului secolului al XX-lea, sau ai insurecției din ianuarie. Au fost decorate cu Crucea de Argint două orașe (Lwów și Verdun) și 14 drapelele de luptă ale 14 regimente de infanterie, 6 de cavalerie, un batalion de geniști, o unitate de servicii auxiliare deservite de femei și a 12 unități de artilerie.

Pe 24 noiembrie 1922 a fost deschisă o nouă listă de decorare pentru timp de pace. În 1923 a fost decernată ultima medalie unor veterani ai primului război mondial și al celui polono-sovietic, după care acordarea de Virtuti Militari a încetat. Pe 25 martie 1933, Seimul a votat o nouă lege a Ordinului Virtuti Militari (Ustawa o Orderze Virtuti Militari) prin care era modificată forma tuturor crucilor și se extindeau privilegiile veteranilor ordinului, modificând legea din 1919. Astfel, toți cei decorați cu Virtuti Militari au avut dreptul să cumpere bilete de tren cu o reducere de 80%, statul plătea pentru îngrijirea sănătății lor și se obliga să le asigure slujbe care să le permită un trai decent. Invalizii de război urmau să primească bani, hrană și îmbrăcăminte pentru tot restul vieții. În plus, salariul anual de 300 de zloți nu era impozitat și tribunalele nu puteau pune sechestru pe acest venit de merit. În același timp, criteriile pentru acordarea ordinului au devenit mai stricte.

Crucea de Argint putea fi de acum acordată de acum și unităților militare, orașelor și civililor. Toate medaliilor claselor Ordinului erau acordate de comandantul suprem în timp de război sau de foștii comandanți supremi după încheierea ostilităților.

Al doilea război mondial

În timpul războiului de apărare din 1939, înaintarea rapidă germano-sovietică a împiedicat autoritățile să acorde Ordinul Virtuti Militari, teritoriul polonez fiind ocupat de inamici după numai cinci săptămâni de la declanșarea atacului. Comandanții de divizii și brigăzi au obișnuit să-și decoreze folosind propriile lor medalii căpătate în perioada antebelică. Astfel, Regimentul 18 pomeranian a fost decorat cu Ordinul Virtuti Militari a generalului Stanisław Grzmot-Skotnicki pentru lupta plină de bravură din prima zi a războiului – 1 septembrie 1939.

După înfrângerea Poloniei din 1939, o mare parte a armatei a fost evacuată în Franța, unde a fost refăcută sub comanda generalului Władysław Sikorski. În ianuarie 1941, guvernul polonez în exil a proclamat introducerea Ordinului Virtuti Militari ca cea mai înaltă decorație militară a sa. Baza legală pentru acest decret a fost legea din 1933. În timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial, Virtuti Militari a fost acordat mai multor ofițeri superiori Aliați, printre care Bernard Montgomery, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jean de Lattre de Tassigny și Gheorghi Jukov.

Republica Populară Polonă

Armatele poloneze formate pe teritoriul Uniunii Sovietice, care au participat la luptele de pe frontul de răsărit au fost decorate de asemenea cu Ordinul Virtuti Militari. Pe 11 noiembrie 1943, generalul Zygmunt Berling a decorat 16 veterani ai bătăliei de la Lenino cu Crucea de Argint. Pe 22 decembrie 1944, Comitetul Polonez de Eliberare Națională (Polski Komitet Wyzwolenia Narodowego), sprijinit de sovietici, a emis un decret prin care accepta ca Ordinul Virtuti Militari să fie cea mai înaltă decorație a Armatei I poloneze din cadrul Armatei Roșii și a mișcări procomuniste de rezistență Armia Ludowa.

Deși decretul Comitetului Polonez de Eliberare Națională (PKWN) era bazat pe legea Seimului din 1933, dreptul exclusiv pentru decorarea soldaților era asigurat Radei Naționale de Stat (Krajowa Rada Narodowa – corpul legiuitor al guvernării comuniste poloneze formate pe teritoriul URSS). După 1947, dreptul de decorare a soldaților a fost acordat președintelui republicii și, după desființarea postului și înlocuirea acestuia cu "Consiliul de Stat", dreptul de decorare a soldaților a fost acordat acestui organ colectiv de conducere. Între 1943 și 1989, autoritățile comuniste de la Varșovia au acordat 5.167 de Ordine Virtuti Militari mai multor persoane și organizații. Unele dintre ordine au fost acordate ofițerilor Armatei Roșii sau altor armate aliate cu URSS în timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial și în perioada postbelică.

Printre cei decorați cu Virtuti Militari au fost distrugătorul ORP Błyskawica și mai multe unități militare.

Republica Polonia (după 1989)

După căderea comunismului în 1989, noile autorități au cercetat condițiile de acordare a Ordinului în timpul existenței RPP. Pe 10 iulie 1990, președintele Poloniei Wojciech Jaruzelski a retras Marea Cruce acordată lui Leonid Brejnev în 1974.

Pe 16 octombrie 1992, Seimul Republicii Polonia a votat o nouă lege a Ordinului, care se baza pe actul din 1933.
Acestă lege recunoștea drepturile interzise de autoritățile comuniste, dar recunoșteau toate decorațiile acordate atât de guvernul în exil cât și de cel comunist.

În 1995, președintele Aleksander Kwaśniewski a retras ordinul acordat președintelui KGB Ivan Serov, acuzat de moartea a mii de polonezi. În 2006, președintele Lech Kaczyński a retras ordinul acordat lui Wincenty Romanowski, acuzat că ar fi torturat luptători anticomuniști.

Nu s-au mai acordat Ordine Virtuti Militari după anul 1989, iar parlamentul polonez a hotărât ca să nu se mai acorde decorații după cinci ani de la încheierea unui conflict.

Shea butter is a gentle and effective moisturiser. It contains oleic acid, a saturated fatty acid which is highly compatible with the sebum naturally produced by our skin, which means it's readily absorbed and is said to help the absorption of other active ingredients.
Shea butter is the ivory-coloured fat that's extracted from the nut of the Vitellaria tree (Vitellaria Paradoxa), which is similar to an oak, and usually grows wild.
Shea nuts are dried and crushed before being roasted and pressed into a slick liquor. This is then whipped and kneaded, before the shea butter is skimmed from the top, creating an high quality ingredient.
When used in its solid form, shea butter helps to naturally preserve products as part of an expertly balanced formula. This is achieved by solid shea butter creating a tight emulsion that does not leave space for microbes to move around and grow. This reduces the amount of free water in the product, naturally keeping products fresh as well as delivering a range of benefits to the skin.
The organic shea butter used in Lush products is refined, a mechanical process that neutralises both the colour and aroma. It is bought from a Ghanaian producer who works directly with women's groups, not to be confused with the Ojoba women's collective who produce Fair Trade shea butter.

Static Roots Festival - stay safe sessions - episode #014
On the road to stardom
Earlier this year, the amazing Elles Bailey from Bristol, UK, picked up "Song Of The Year" at the UK Americana Awards in London for her song "Little Piece Of Heaven" while she was also awarded "Artist Of The Year" at the UK Blues Awards plus "Album Of The Year" for her sophomore album "Road I Call Home". We are very much looking forward to having Elles perform at one of our future Static Roots Festivals.
About Elles Bailey
"2020 started with a bang for the super-smoky-voiced, hard-working, far-touring chanteuse Elles Bailey when "Little Piece of Heaven" written with storied Memphis and Nashville giant Bobby Wood, & Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys) picked up 'UK Song of the Year' at the UK Americana Awards. It's taken from her chart-topping sophomore album 'Road I Call Home' which was released to rave reviews and was awarded 'Album of the Year' and the UK Blues Awards. The album charted in both the Official UK Country Charts & Americana charts, has gained over 2.4 million streams since its release and reached No.1 on the Amazon Blues Bestseller chart. Adding to Elles' string of awards she also picked up the high accolade of 'Artist of the Year' at the UK Blues Awards.
As a self-confessed 'rolling stone' - Elles continued her wide-ranging headline touring throughout the UK and Europe in 2019 and early 2020 as well as being special guest support for Grammy Award winner Mike Farris, The Kris Barras Band and King King. She also shared the stage with Beth Hart at Ramblin' Man, The Temperance Movement at Swing Wespelaar and appeared at Nashville's Americana Fest as part of the 'House of Song' collaboration.
2021 sees Elles playing many more international stages including taking to the high seas for the Joe Bonamassa 'Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea' cruise alongside the man himself, Joe Bonamassa, King King, Walter Trout and many more. She's also picked up 3 UK Blues nominations 2020 for Artist of the Year, Band of the Year, & Album of the Year.
As well as being an international touring artist, playing sold out shows all over the world, Elles is a self confessed DIY artist and If ever there was a fine example of the Do It Yourself nature of the music business then Elles Bailey is it. From rather humble beginnings Elles has by dint of hard work and talent smashed through and past much bigger artists and bigger industry players - not least major record labels - by taking time and effort to really understand the brave new world that is today's landscape, being brave, breaking rules, making a few mistakes (always part of the learning process) and just powering through obstacles and doing whatever it takes. Her work ethic, both on the road, at shows, and in front of her spread sheets is nothing short of phenomenal.
Miss Bailey really does call the road home & when she arrives near you, don't think twice, get there. A great evening and a long musical friendship will be waiting."
For our "stay safe sessions" Elles Bailey contributed the song "Halfway House", a wonderful, bluesy and soulful song performed with Joe Wilkins (guitar, vocals), Jonny Henderson (organ, vocals), Matthew Jones (drums).
We put together the "stay safe sessions" series not only to present great music and amazing talents, but also to support the musicians during these difficult times.

The Magic of Indian Dance in a Tribute to Tagore : THE FRONT PAGE ONLINE
Posted by Frederik Sisa at 15.4.11
"On Sunday, April 10, mother and daughter called upon their art to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Rabindranath Tagore, a notable and prolific Bengalese artist whose work encompassed writing, music and painting, and whose accomplishments were recognized with the first Nobel Prize for literature awarded, in 1913, to a non-European. The tribute consisted of an adaptation of Tagore's Chandalika, about an outcast girl from the "untouchable" class whose encounter with a disciple of Buddha, Ananda, begins as a transcendental experience only to become corrupted by worldly desire."

The Actor's Gang Triumphs with 'Tartuffe' : THE FRONT PAGE ONLINE
"Despite what it might sound like, "Tartuffe" is not the name of a French custard-filled pastry and the Ivy Substation has not been remade as a Parisian café. Yet what we have here is nevertheless a wicked confection as one of France's greatest playwrights, Molière, gets the Actor's Gang treatment in a revival of their hugely successful 2005 production."

'The Cripple of Inishmaan': Laughter Hides a Hollow Heart : THE FRONT PAGE ONLINE
Posted by Frederik Sisa at 8.4.11
"Although Tadhg Murphy offers as fine a performance as one could ask for, it's telling that the titular character in The Cripple of Inishmaan is played by an able-bodied performer. The lazy interpretation of this would invoke political correctness, but it would be more nuanced to contextualize it within the play's general movement to keep disability at a distance. Hence, Irish playwright Martin McDonagh gives us the elements of a sitcom; a rural Irish island, a cast of idiosyncratic characters, and in the middle of it all, a deformed lad named Billy who is constantly referred to as "Cripple" Billy just in case his disability isn't obvious enough to him. The nicknaming, even from what passes as family for Billy, is the sort of casual, reflexive cruelty that highlights a pervasive lack of empathy towards that which, in any context, constitutes "the other." But there is outright hostility and contempt towards Billy's condition as well, most obviously from Claire Dunne's masterfully violent and spiteful Slippy Helen, although her venom is just as easily dispensed towards everyone around her."

'Somerville': A Cerebral Conspiracy of Nazis, Art, and Drugs : THE FRONT PAGE ONLINE
"Despite the novel's lack of immediate urgency, the result of not fully capitalizing on the drama inherent in the book's concept and themes, Somerville is a solid debut novel that is informative without being dry or preachy. Stanford trusts in his readers' intelligence and capacity to pay attention, and in this sense the lack of cheap gimmicks has its benefits. Hopefully, we will see more of the good professor's erudition in future novels. "

Even international schools in Singapore might not feel exactly like it is back home for your child. On the plus side, they get exposed to a myriad of different cultures; but they're also challenged to adapt to a new environment and navigate around unfamiliar situations.
Neil Smith, Head of Elementary at Australian International School Singapore, shares some handy tips for helping your child adapt in school.
Instead, ask him to talk you through his concerns. Then, talk about all of the exciting things he will experience in school each day, and encourage him to set goals: even simple things like making a new friend from his home country or enjoying a game of football counts.
First day at his new school? Try to schedule a pre-visit with your child to let him get a feel for the school's facilities, teachers and programmes before the term begins.
For new students settling in, the school's approach should be flexible and responsive to their needs and may include transition plans, orientation days.
AIS has a buddy programme that ensures each child has a peer to show him or her around and a friendly counsellor who meets with students informally in their first week. This provides reassurance and support, and makes the adjustment as smooth as possible.
Talk to your child and his class teacher.
Communication is a three-way process between the family, child and teacher. The more you involve your son in these discussions, the greater the impact on his learning.
Pack a water bottle, lunch and snack boxes. His school will let you know what uniform, stationery and other items are needed for the year.
Just knowing you're there to listen and talk through any small worries should be enough to make his first few weeks go well.

I have been enjoying staycation bliss on Jeju Island for over a year. I was super excited to be on an island and even more happy I got to hop over to Udo Island! Udo Island is just off the coast of Jeju Island and it is apparently shaped like a cow lying down. I didn't arrive via space ship, nor did I arrive via helicopter, so I can neither confirm or deny this :) Udo is the biggest of all the little islands surrounding Jeju. About 2000 peeps reside there, basalt houses, white sand beaches, no traffic lights very narrow roads are all part of Udo's charm. Udo has it all. Lots of coral! White sand beaches! Cool, geological formations and even a shell beach! It also has a super neat lighthouse. You can get to by hiking a short trial.
When my friend and I saw the lighthouse at the top of one the cool geological formations, we kept saying how it reminded us of Scotland or Ireland. Maybe not, but just certain parts of it, like the lighthouse and basalt fences and small winding roads. Renting a scooter was perfect for us because of the narrow winding roads. Udo is simply a magical piece of nature.
I am super grateful to my friend, Jackie for getting me there finally. I had been putting off visiting for the perfect time. I think this was perfect timing. We had a long weekend here in South Korea, so that made the timing perfect. Udo is only a 15 minutes ferry ride from Seongsan harbor. The journey was seamless.
After running a bit late, we arrived on Udo Island at about 3:30 pm. It was perfect because it only takes an hour and a half of less to go around the island. We stopped for ice cream and took tons of pictures along the way, so I am certain we could have gone around the island faster. We had a blast driving our electric scooter though I was a tad scared of it at first. Udo is overall a must see if you ever visit Jeju Island. I had a blast and I am already plotting my next visit.
Ice cream. That was wickedly yummy! The guy at the shop also gave us a sample of the peanut ice cream which is a specialty on the island, and it was just as yummy. I was very impressed with the quality of the ice cream. My friend and I got our ice cream from a place called Udo Prince There are several locations around the island you can purchase this delightful treat.

Do You Refrigerate a Cake After Dirty Icing and Before the Fondant?
Add edible flowers or pearls to complement the smooth buttercream icing.
3 Do You Refrigerate a Cake After Dirty Icing and Before the Fondant?
Making a wedding cake trims wedding expenses in exchange for your time, patience and practice to achieve a professional looking cake. Tiered wedding cakes are traditional, elegant and provide enough cake to feed between 100 and 300 guests, depending on the tier sizes you use. Tiered cakes require planning to ensure the cake remains stable throughout the reception, without collapsing or tilting. Buttercream icing is a simple icing to make yourself and works well to crumbcoat, fill and decorate wedding cakes.
Bake cake according to the recipe's directions. Bake two cakes of each size, each pair of cakes will be used to create one tier. Each pair of cakes should be the same flavor but tier flavors can vary. After baking cool cakes completely on wire cooling racks.
Trim the top of each cake, using the serrated knife or cake leveler, so that it is level and the next cake can sit flat on top.
Crumbcoat each cake with buttercream icing using an off-set icing spatula. A crumbcoat is an even thin layer of icing applied to each cake to catch cake crumbs so an even layer of icing can be applied on top that will look clean.
Assemble each tier. Pair cakes by size; apply filling between each pair and crumbcoat the stacked pair together to create one tier. Repeat for all eight cakes, creating four tiers you need for the finished wedding cake.
Measure and cut 12 pieces of dowel to the height of a cake tier. The dowels help support the cake, keeping it sturdy and straight throughout the reception.
Arrange four dowels, per tier, into a square shape and insert into each tier, except for the top tier. The length between each dowel should be equal for proper weight distribution. Firmly press the dowels into the cake until each dowel sits flush with the cake top.
Ice each tier with buttercream. Smooth flat using an uneven spatula or professional icing smoother. Add texture by pressing a quilted paper towel over the icing or use a plastic cake edger to create lines or ribbing on the edges of each tier.
Place the largest tier carefully on the center of the cake board. Center the next largest tier over the support dowels placed in the bottom tier, distributing the weight of the tier evenly over the bottom tier. Repeat with the third and top tiers, the wedding cake is now assembled.
Fill a piping bag with buttercream frosting. Pipe edging, using buttercream, along each tier as well as draping or flowers for decoration. Buttercream icing can easily be colored using food coloring, if you prefer a splash of color instead of an all-white cake.
Each tier should be at least 2 inches smaller than the one underneath; for example, 12-inch bottom, 10-inch second, 8-inch third and 6-inch top tier.
Plastic dowels are larger than wooden dowels and take up more room, which means your cake will have fewer servings.


The Manduca 3-in-1 baby carrier really does grow with your child. From birth use the built-in infant pouch and use it as a front carrier. From approximately three months - provided baby can support its own head - a Manduca becomes a hip carrier, then from six months it's a baby back carrier. The extendable back provides great support for bigger children (up to 20kg) or extra head support for newborns and there's also a hidden head and neck support that can cradle a sleeping baby's head. Baby sling libraries and baby wearing enthusiasts swear by the Manduca range of 3 in 1 carriers, which keep babies close enough to kiss and ergonomically supported at all times.

I would like to see KL Rahul playing the World Cup: Kapil Dev
Rahul scored a half-century in the only game he played in the Asia Cup.

KL Rahul of India (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images)
Team India won the Asia Cup by beating Bangladesh in a nail-biting final in Dubai and have announced themselves ahead of the World Cup. In the absence of Virat Kohli, the team did well and proved that they are not dependent only on him. Meanwhile, the victories were once again architected by the openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma due to which the third opener KL Rahul had to warm the bench. However, Kapil Dev is pretty excited about the youngster and has backed him to be part of the World Cup squad.
Rahul played only a solitary game in the Asia Cup against Afghanistan and scored an eye-catching half-century opening the innings along with Ambati Rayudu. Though he was guilty of throwing his wicket away to Rashid Khan in an attempt to play a needless reverse sweep. Despite batting well, he had to make way for the regular players in the final.
He can play in the middle-order
Kapil Dev, while speaking to The Telegraph, opined that the team management has to find a way to include KL Rahul in the playing XI often. He felt there is a still a lot of time to go for World Cup and the talented batsman could be accommodated in the middle-order if not at the top.
"I'd like Rahul to be playing and it would be good if he figures in the World Cup. There are still eight months between now and the tournament, so there's time for the team management to work things out. If Rahul is not going to open, he can still find a place in the middle order. After all, with the advent of the T20 game, I wouldn't say there are fixed positions for batsmen," he said.
It remains to be seen if either of Rohit or Dhawan are rested for the upcoming ODI series against Windies and Rahul is made to open for the whole series in order to test his temperament.
