A few months ago, Alison called me and was so excited about some things she learned in a class about organizing and creating peace in your home. I rushed over to hear all the details and was intrigued so I called the teacher and asked her to share her information with all of you! She agreed. Give your house a name and an identity. It will help you to value it and take pride in it.
To quote one of my favorite organizers, Peter Walsh, "Your home is the outward expression of what you value, what you enjoy, and what is important to you." Yikes! I love these Ideas..I think I will get the whole family involved in naming our house and make a sign for it this weekend!
We need to teach character such as dependability, diligence, thoroughness, attentiveness to detail, efficiency, a good worker, diligence, and service of others to our children. In order for the children to have the blessing of doing good work, however, they do need to be taught to do each aspect of each job. If you would like to have any of my charts, lists, or schedules that I've shared you can download those from this link. Palm reading is an ancient and tested tool for offering clear, personalized guidance for your journey. Are you searching for answers to your most troubling questions regarding your health, relationships, finances, or life purpose?
Palm reading can help you determine where you are experiencing both success and resistance in relationship to your Life Purpose and Life Lessons right now.

What people are saying…"I have been in the field for many years, and have never met a more beautiful and pure soul than Dr. As a child – and in all fairness even as a teenager and adult – I loved games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing.
Stardew Valley does indeed remind me a lot of the Harvest Moon games I played as a child, but better in almost every aspect.
However the story line isn't a massive drive for the game, it is fun to collect certain items and complete the quests. Stardew Valley even has some aspects I recognize from the Animal Crossing games; fishing, collecting and decorating your own home.
After having played over 60 hours on the game, I feel there's still plenty to unlock and discover. The number of sufferers from Autism is increasing, but is Autism being made aware to the public eye well enough? Just imagine how much time this much consume out of their days, and they also have to earn a living to support the child, this sort of problem truly is getting out of hand because the parents simply cannot afford to live as well as look after the child.
Promoting awareness can help people understand what autism is, how it affects people and appreciate that this is a condition that many people have.
It is for people that have autistic children but don't know all the facts or techniques available. But would really like to hear some more about the housekeeping binder, keeping kids on track with chores, and effective ways to discipline your kids! I like to get jobs done in the morning when we're fresh and our most energetic, I like to be sure the jobs get done and there is no chance of them being missed because we ran out of time that day, and I like to enjoy the "fruit" of those jobs having been done, all day long! So our children do them first thing in the morning, before breakfast, before play time. Sarah Larsen uses the wisdom of palmistry as a tool to peer into your past, present, and future – and offer intuitive guidance to answer your most pressing questions and concerns. The shape of your hand will be accessed to reveal your personality profile and to get you started on understanding the key insights for your transformation. Combined with cutting edge research and modern western medicine, they serve as the foundation for Dr. This is also the mean reason why I almost immediately bought Stardew Valley when I came across the game on steam.
The artwork is one of my favourite things about the game, reminding me of the old Harvest Moon games but also giving me something new to enjoy.
There is an increase in Autism awareness slowly coming into play such as autism bracelets, which are there to not only raise money but to raise general awareness.
Donate to your national society – The national autistic societies in your country are on the front line of medical research, government legislation and so on. Feel free to join the discussion by leaving comments, and stay updated by subscribing to the RSS feed. It reminded me of Harvest Moon; the graphics, the way you have to build your own farm, grow your own crops and take care of your farm animals. The villagers in Stardew valley all have their very own personality and have funny dialogues which makes it very enjoyable to build relationships with them. Plus, we will investigate your special markings and work together to create a unique Soul Mission Statement incorporating your Life Purpose and Life Lessons.
But after having bought the game and played for a bit I realised; this is way more than just a farming game. As the relationship progresses, so do the dialogues, which become more personal the better you know the character. The music, too, gives you the old school Harvest Moon vibes and gives the game a nice, relaxing atmosphere to play in. Donate to your local support group – You can donate to your local group or your national society.
You can build relationships with the villagers and start a family with one of the bachelors or bachelorettes. Talk to people – Also, you can simply talk to people and ask them what they know and tell them what you know.
Think about fishing, mining, fighting monsters and completing quests to finish the story line.

I have quite a high-end Windows 10 x64 system, but typical startup speed for XnView MP 0.90 (x64) is quite slow, when launching as part of a file open. This observation is made in comparison to some other image viewers, which I will not name unless requested.
I understand that some of the really fast image viewers don't have the baggage that XnView MP does, but I'm hoping that something can be done to improve startup performance, as I'd prefer to avoid using a separate application just to view images.
Please note that this suggestion is made respectfully and without expectation.
how much it takes to start it? when starting in browser you have not that?
so XnView is slow only when starting with a file (from OS file browser)?
nameless wrote: Yes, that is correct.
when starting XnView in browser mode no delay? which format (jpeg)? do you have a lot of files in the folder? only image files in this folder?
No delay when starting from the browser. I just tested with a folder having ~3,700 JPG files and nothing else.
It's the same with other image file types and folders, though. Startup speed is not terrible, but much slower than some other viewers.
which delay do you have when opening a file?
Do you mean how long is the delay? It's about two seconds. Again, I know it's not terrible, but as many images as I open, it's a little annoying. And some viewers open the same files in about 1/4 second.
The delay does not vary much by file size. Tiny image files don't load much, if any, faster than relatively large image files. This tells me it's other overhead and not the reading of the file causing the delay.
nameless wrote: Do you mean how long is the delay? It's about two seconds. Again, I know it's not terrible, but as many images as I open, it's a little annoying. And some viewers open the same files in about 1/4 second.
yes not normal. do you have a lot of files in this folder? could you try to open an image from a folder with only this file?
I just chose a test file randomly. I see no noticeable difference in loading speed whether the test file is alone in a directory or if it is in the original directory with ~3,700 other files.
nameless wrote: I just chose a test file randomly. I see no noticeable difference in loading speed whether the test file is alone in a directory or if it is in the original directory with ~3,700 other files.
is it a jpeg? could you send me it?
The same performance occurs with any file, so this one is not special, but I've attached it here anyway.
which is your setting General>Mode when starting...?
That setting is set to "Normal".


My point of view is that probably at this point in time, if you ask the Prosecutor, ask the judge, (____), "If we are to close down today, what would be the hallmark, what would be the legacy?" They will name a series of cases, "We tried this (___), we tried this." Yes, but what are the principles of law that you laid down in the trial of this case?
Yes, some of the principles are balanced, some are consistent with the attainment of international legal principles but some have done a lot of harm. And I say joint criminal enterprise has a potential that if anybody should put your name, say, "Well, you were never there, you were American," joint criminal enterprise it is a web that can sweep just any person depending on the whims and caprice of the judge, that particular judge where he stands.
No, that is not a legacy. That is not even the principle that can help the world. It would do more harm.

But only for consumers, as commercial businesses are managing to keep up.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation – better known as the FDIC – published their quarterly banking profile on Tuesday. It's basically a guide to how America is doing financially. This new report covers our outlook through the fourth quarter of 2017.
Both noncurrent balances and charge offs for credit cards hit an all-time high at the end of last year. Noncurrent credit card balances) grew by 11.5% in the last three months of 2017. That's a total increase of $1.2 billion. Those are past due debt payments that are more than 90 days late.
Credit card charge-offs grew by 15.7% or $1.1 billion. Charge offs happen when a payment is more than six months past due. That's usually when a creditor writes of the account as a loss. They close the account and sell the debt to a collector.
Credit cards aren't the only past due debt payments that American consumers face now. In fact, charge-offs have increased for nine consecutive quarters. In addition, although noncurrent balances had been on the decline, consumers fell behind hard last quarter. Consumers also fell behind more on mortgage payments. Noncurrent balances on residential mortgages were up 5.2% or up by $2.8 billion.
By contrast, commercial businesses are doing better at avoiding past due debt payments and charge offs. Charge offs for businesses fell by 8.6% and noncurrent payments fell by 8.5%. So why are businesses doing better while American households are falling behind?
A report in the Financial Times hints that these numbers may provide ammunition for critics of new tax reform. People against the recently passed Republican tax reform plan have said all along that it benefited businesses ahead of the average American.
Herman encourages individuals and families to pay off credit card debt. Even if you're not struggling, steadily increasing balances are a sign of trouble. You effectively need to find a solution before your debt becomes a problem.
Do you owe more than $5,000 in credit card debt and need help exploring your options for debt relief? Talk to a certified credit counselor now!

Q: How to sort a translated date with jQuery tablesorter I want to sort a date column with the JQuery Tablesorter Plugin. I have created my custom parser as my date is not in 'dd/mm/yyyy' format or other accepted formats.
$.tablesorter.addParser({
    id: 'dayMonthYear',
    is: function (s) {
        return false;
    },
    format: function (s) {
        let date = s.match(/^(\d{1,2})\s+(\w+)\s+(\d{4})$/);
        let d = date ? date[1] || '' : '';
        let y = date && date[3] ? date[3] || '' : '';
        let m = date && date[2] ? date[2] || '' : '';

        return new Date(d + " " + m + " " + y).getTime() || '';

    },
    type: 'Numeric'
});

$('#leaderBoardTable').tablesorter({
    theme: "default",
    headers: {1: {sorter: 'dayMonthYear'}} //add the custom parser we defined above
});

However, our system has multiple translations: NL, FR, JA, RU, ES and 21+ more. This parser only worked for the EN translation. Therefore this parser did not work for the other translations:
1 July 2020  (EN) //works
20 juli 2020 (NL) //doesn't work

Here is a fiddle showing my problem.
http://jsfiddle.net/jLuzqp7r/4/
The bottom table sorts perfectly, while the top doesn't.

Exhibition Label
Berenice Abbott returned home in 1929 after nearly eight years abroad and found herself fascinated by the rapid growth of New York City. She saw the city as bristling with new buildings and structures that seem to her as solid and as permanent as a mountain range. Aiming to capture "the past jostling the present," Abbott spent the next five years on a project she called Changing New York.
In Brooklyn Bridge, Water and Dock Streets, Brooklyn, Abbott presented a century of history in a single image. The Brooklyn Bridge, once a marvel of modern engineering, seems dark and heavy compared with the skeletal structure beneath it. The construction site at center suggests the never-ending cycle of death and regeneration. And the Manhattan skyline, veiled and weightless, hangs just out of reach, its shape accommodating the ambitious spirit of American modernism.

At one point in our lives, we have experienced hearing something very loud whenever we are in a public area such as an office or at malls. Just like in Singapore, we all know that a public address system is very useful in areas where there is a lot of people like the malls and offices. The perfect scenario that we can think of when it comes to the PA system is in hospitals, whenever we are in the hospital, we often hear the names of doctors being paged every now and then. We can say that we are already in the digital age wherein we can easily call someone when we need them but there are still situations wherein the PA system is much more effective just like the scenario that I mentioned in the hospital earlier. It is indeed much more effective to use the PA system rather than using other modes of communication such as mobile phones.
Another thing that is still very useful nowadays aside from the PA system that is still quite popular in Singapore is the intercom system. We can say that it is not just popular in Singapore but also in other countries in the world. We know how useful this communication tool is especially in offices and the perfect example to this would be the supervisor and his secretary. We might also have other tools to easily communicate through the different social media sites but there are things that can be best communicated through an intercom rather than just sending a message. We all know that in big offices, they would normally set up an intercom system just like offices in Singapore wherein it is very much popular to set up this type of communication.
We also know that one of the reasons why a PA system is still very popular nowadays is the fact that when we would want a large number of people know of a certain announcement all at once. I have mentioned earlier about doctors being paged at hospitals, another example would be the schools. You can just imagine the difficulty of not having a PA system working especially when the teachers would need to make very important announcements for their students. The effect is that, the school administration would be having difficulty disseminating the information to all their students and it might end up with different versions of the announcement. The PA system can also be very useful in cases of emergency. If you have experienced having earthquake or fire drills in your office, then you know that they use the PA system to announce the drill.
We might have the newest technology nowadays but there are really some things even though it has been used for a long time already would still have that efficiency. By efficiency, I would mean the effectiveness of these communication tools to disseminate the very important information to a lot of people all at once. It is like saying that some things never grow old, it just gets better.


A British delegation of clergymen, parliamentarians, journalists and academics visited Syria last week, arriving in the region during the missile attacks by the USA, the UK and France.
They visited Syria at the invitation of Ignatius Aphrem, the Syriac Patriach, and met Christian and Muslim religious leaders, the Speaker of Parliament, MPs from many parts of Syria and opposition MPs, internationally-respected artists, musicians and intellectuals, the humanitarian aid organisation St Ephemeral Patriarchal Development Committee (EPDC) and members of local communities in Damascus, Saidnaya, Maaloula, Homs and Aleppo.
· Airstrikes: Everyone whom the group met expressed deep anger at the recent missile attacks by the USA, the UK and France, claiming the attacks were illegal (no mandate and not a threat to their countries); the missiles were fired a day before chemical weapons experts were due to visit the scene of the alleged attack; the lack of substantial evidence (Journalist Robert Fisk has since visited and found no corroborative evidence).
· Regime change: Despite the well-documented criticisms of the Syrian Government, many Syrians are deeply concerned by the British Government's commitment to impose a transition of power, including the removal of President Assad. All those whom the group met passionately believe that, as there is no remaining 'moderate' armed opposition, regime change would create a disaster comparable to those in Iraq and Libya.
· UK Govt support for Islamist-related groups: The UK Government has provided massive financial support to so-called 'moderate' opposition forces associated with jihadist militants. The vast majority of opposition forces have extremist ideologies, with no intention of creating democracy in Syria. This is only prolonging the war and the suffering of the Syrian people.
· Sanctions: There is widespread concern over the devastating impact of sanctions and the destruction of industrial infrastructure. These greatly harm civilians, for whom it is very difficult to obtain employment, and adequate supplies of food, medicines and medical equipment.
"Everyone we met expressed deep sadness and anger at the devastating impact of British foreign policy, including the recent airstrikes by the USA, the UK and France. It is fundamentally wrong to inflict missile strikes related to alleged chemical warfare before unequivocal evidence is known and publicised.
"There is also a real fear that the response by the USA, UK and France may encourage jihadists to initiate another chemical weapons incident in order to stimulate an even more ferocious response against the Syrian Government and Army.

What is being built near Auto Zone on Market Street?
A: Rest easy. That site will soon be the home of a new Mattress Firm store.
Opening its first store in 1986, Mattress Firm currently operates over 1,100 locations across 28 states. The chain offers a range of sleep options and, in recent years, has focused on the education of consumers on the link between a good night's sleep and health.
According to Chris O'Keefe, planning/inspections director for New Hanover County, the project has been assigned Building Permit number 12-7814.
O'Keefe said Bradley Construction Inc. of Apex is building the store. Officials at the construction company were unavailable for comment.

A: Crews are clearing lots on Murrayville Road near North College Road for a small subdivision, said developer Adam Sosne, of Gordon Road Development Partners.
The proposed four-acre subdivision, dubbed The Woods at Murrayville, will be composed of 13 lots and feature single-family, stick-built homes, Sosne said. The homes will likely be priced between $160,000 and $190,000.
Mcadams Homes is expected to begin construction on the first structures in about 60 days and developers hope for the first buyers to move in about six months from now, Sosne said.

It's just a box of toiletries. Paper towel. Laundry detergent. Toothpaste. About $20 of items you can't get with food stamps. But it means the world to Peggy.
The Richwood grandmother quit her job three years ago when circumstances begrudged her to take her grandkids into her home. Now she has five children between the ages of three and 14 living with her. She's too old for this, she laughs. But you know there's more than a hint of seriousness under her breath.
"We go through it like it's nothing," she said of the box of supplies she was ready to carry to her car. "It's kind of embarrassing to have to come in here. I had to quit my job. I was doing good." She pauses to hold back tears.
Here, is the North Union Personal Needs Pantry and Free Shop, a set of four converted classrooms in the basement of the First United Methodist Church in Richwood. Three times a month, a loyal group of eight to 10 volunteers opens the doors and welcomes people struggling to make ends meet. They provide basic human need supplies in order to help a family feel confident about themselves and comfortable in their living.
"There was a woman who became homeless at one point and she was just getting back on her feet," said volunteer Larry Lemaster. "She'd found a place to live, but didn't have anything. By coming here, she was able to get some things built up to where she could live comfortably. And that made a big impact on me."
In addition to stocking soap, deodorant, and other personal needs items, the volunteers accept donations of clothing, household items, toys, and small appliances. On Saturday mornings when they also serve a free breakfast, it turns into a gathering place, with as many as 50 families hanging out and visiting for the duration of the pantry hours.
"We want them to feel that this is a place they can come and be loved and respected," said Jo Ann Stillings, a retired teacher and founding volunteer of the Pantry.
Stillings says her instincts to help others started when she was teaching. She would go to the store and buy all the notebooks and pencils she could by the cartload, storing them in her classroom closet to give to students who needed them throughout the year.
"People would ask me, 'Jo Ann, is there going to be a shortage?'"
She still stocks up the same way today, watching for sales at local stores to buy pantry items in bulk when the price is right. She even collects and distributes coupons to her clients when they come to pick up items.
"I've become a coupon guru," laughs Peggy, who's learned a trick or two from Jo Ann to help her suddenly large family to get by. "If there's a sale, I can sniff it out!"
The North Union Personal Needs Pantry has been a United Way Funded Partner since 2008 and will receive $3,000 in donor support this year.
"You don't see half the people who are helped," said Lemaster. "One person comes to pick up some items, but they go home to a family of four or five who are all going to use it. It changes people's lives."
"I love people and I want to see them comfortable," said Stillings. "With the help from United Way and our other partners, that allows me to do these things I feel passionate about. It's what gets me out of bed.
"These people are all my friends. Every last one of them. What I do, I hope, reflects God's love to our clients. I feel His love and I want to share it with others. I don't tell them so. But I hope from our actions, from our mannerisms, from our interactions with them, that somehow we reflect the love of God. And that they're good people. They just need some help. And we're blessed to be able to help them."
"She's really changed my outlook on life," said Peggy. "To be in this situation and to see these people and what they do, it's just really heartwarming. I see these people doing this and I know that somebody cares. When I'm through with this, I'm going to be here helping too."
The North Union Personal Needs Pantry and Free Shop is located at 18 S. Fulton Street in Richwood. It is open from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the first Saturday, second Thursday, and third Saturday of each month. Residents may visit once per month if they live within the boundaries of the North Union Local School District and are eligible (according to Ohio Department of Job & Family Services Guidelines). For more information, please call (740) 943-3111.
United Way works to bring neighbors and resources together to improve lives in Union County. United Way of Union County has raised more than $19 million for local needs since it was established in 1958. More than just a fundraiser, United Way collaborates with local businesses, government, and non-profit organizations to solve pressing social service issues large and small.
Volunteers keep the shelves stocked for clients at the North Union Personal Needs Pantry and Free shop. From left to right: Mary Ann Patton, Larry Lemaster, Barbara Holcomb, Jo Ann Stillings, Janet Markin, Mary Price, and Georgeann Charles.

What's on Netflix > Coming Soon to Netflix > Every 'Millarworld' Movie & Series Coming Soon to Netflix
Every 'Millarworld' Movie & Series Coming Soon to Netflix
by Kasey Moore @kasey__moore on July 4, 2020, 1:49 pm EST
Netflix has huge plans for some huge franchises but one bubbling away is Netflix's plans to bring the Millarworld Universe to Netflix. Here's every movie, series or project currently in development at Netflix.
As you may know, the famed comic-book producer started working with Netflix back in August 2017 with the acquisition of the majority of properties published under the Millwarworld banner.
The last time we gave an update on all of the Millarworld projects was back in December 2018 but there's been plenty of progress made so here's our 2020 update.
There is a LOT to cover here so without further ado, here's every Mark Millar/Millarworld project in development at Netflix.
Note: we've listed based on how far along the project is with those expected to release soonest at the top.
Jupiter's Legacy (TV Series)
The project that will likely release first is Jupiter's Legacy and probably won't release until "late Spring 2021" despite filming having wrapped up.
The series is set to cover Jupiter's Legacy 1 & 2 plus also Jupiter's Circle 1 & 2.
Among the cast announced for Jupiter's Legacy so far is Anna Akana, Jess Salgueiro, Humberly González, Tyler Mane, Kara Royster, and a huge roster of other stars.
The series notably lost its showrunner midway in production with Steven DeKnight pulling out back in September 2019.
You can find out so much more about Jupiter's Legacy in our huge preview for the new series here.
Dubbed as an action-comedy this perhaps controversial TV series will be a spoken in both English and Spanish, not dissimilar to how Narcos works.
The comic series (which recently saw its second entry release) is about Jesus Christ returning to Earth battling with the Antichrist to help save humanity.
So far, no cast announcements have been made for American Jesus. We know that Everardo Gout is on board to direct. He's worked on National Geographic's Mars, and directed episodes for Netflix's Luke Cage and AMC's The Terror.
We also know that filming began in late 2019 in Mexico and wrapped production in February 2020.
American Jesus wraps in Feb and none of our new projects launch until 2021. How will you cope? Here's a wee preview of everything I'm writing at the moment from the drafting board in my office. #NetflixLife pic.twitter.com/ZOvMGjpIrH

The Magic Order
This comic series comes from Lindsey Beer, Olivier Coipel and Mark Millar and is about five different families that all possess magical abilities ridding the world of dangerous threats.
James Wan who is known for The Conjuring 2 is currently attached as one of the directors.
The Magic Order has the potential to be the biggest and most important Millarworld title on the way. That's partly because Mark Millar has teased they have the ability to connect different realms that could mean crossovers in the future.
Filming is set to get underway as soon as filming continues after COVID-19 disrupted most productions.
It's ahead! I wrote it last year, Olivier Coipel drawing now and I'm starting The Magic Order 3 next month. It's 5 volumes in total. PS our @netflix show filming as soon as world re-opens! https://t.co/0wLD5suJxe

The title is also the another of the first batch of comics released by Millarworld under the banner of Netflix. They released a trailer for the new comic series below:
Currently, Michael Bacall is attached to the project as one of the producers and writers. He's most known for his work on Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds as well as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and 21 Jump Street.
Sharkey is an intergalactic bounty hunter that travels across the galaxy in his rocket-powered ice-cream truck capturing criminals for their big score. Aided by his 10-year old partner, Sharkey is out to get the biggest bounty of his career.
The comic book was first teased by Netflix back in November 2018 with the first comic arriving 2019.
The last tease we got from Mark Millar on was back in February 2019 who said the screenplay was the funniest thing he's ever read.
Can I just say right now that the Sharkey The Bounty Hunter screenplay is the funniest I've ever read? If you like the comic wait'll you see the movie. This is going to be a total, total treat. Good ol' Netflix!
— Mark Millar (@mrmarkmillar) February 21, 2019
Theodore Melfi who is behind Hidden Figures and El Camino Christmas is behind this movie project that's currently in the early stages of development still.
A quiet seaside town has an incredible secret, that resident Huck has amazing and special gifts. Huck uses his gifts to do a good deed each day, in exchange for the townsfolk keeping the secret. But when a new resident moves into the town and tells the media of Hucks abilities, Huck has no choice but to flee the seaside town and set off an adventure that will change him and everything forever.
The last update on the screenplay was in May 2020.
The Huck screenplay by @theodoremelfi felt like everything I needed as I turned the pages a couple of weeks back. The timing is obviously completely unexpected, but his work on this just feels so bang on for the period of pure joy I think on the other side of all this.
— Mark Millar (@mrmarkmillar) May 19, 2020
Empress is another movie that was announced as part of the original Millarworld lineup.
Lindsey Beer is on board to write the screenplay. Her previous credits include Sierra Burgess is a Loser for Netflix and will also be involved in the aforementioned The Magic Order series.
The wife of an intergalactic dictator decides to take her three children away from his evil clutches and escape to her homeworld. Her husband won't allow her to get away that easily and utilizes his power as Emporer and sends his forces to hunt her down and bring her back. The planet the Empress is the very same Earth that we are from, except this story takes place 65 Million years ago.
We haven't had any major updates on the movie since September 2018 when Mark Millar took to Twitter to sing Lindsey's praises.
Empress will be a spectacular movie. Why? Because Lindsey Beer!!!! https://t.co/JHRupJpL3N
— Mark Millar (@mrmarkmillar) September 30, 2018
Type: TBD
This project is the one we know the least about apart from its rather limited IMDb page with Netflix attached.
The description of the project is as follows:
"Super genius Edison Crane faces his first true test in the form of a world-ending threat that only his could confront."
There's even more likely on the way though. In April 2020, Mark Millar teased that three secret projects are underway too.
Definitely. Jupiter's Requiem, Magic Order 2 and 3 secret projects I'm writing within Netflix at the moment first though. https://t.co/S21jvUixap

Watch This: 'Adopt a Rescue Horse'
June 13, 2018 Kristen KovatchKristen Kovatch#VIDEO, #WATCH THISLeave a comment
"We couldn't change his past… but we could rewrite his future." This touching short video inspired by real-life rescue stories just might encourage you to adopt a rescue horse for yourself.
AWA Productions is currently hard at work on the upcoming documentary Finding Forever Homes — you can learn more about that project in our Q&A with producer Karl Henricksen.
The documentary originally began as a shorter film project, but as Henricksen and director Clarissa Duque further explored the issue of horse rescue and adoption, met individual humans and horses at the heart of the issue at L.E.A.R.N. rescue in South Carolina and began following the story of a group of horses from rescue to rehabilitation, they quickly realized that there was scope for a feature-length documentary.
Inspired by a group of girls interviewed for the documentary, AWA Productions just released this short film to help viewers experience what it's like to adopt a rescue horse. This video may only be a minute and a half, but it's a beautiful, inspiring glimpse at the experience:
To learn more about Finding Forever Homes, follow the project on Facebook. We'll continue to share news and updates as the documentary gets closer to its release later this year!
Go rescue horses. Go riding!

More new music! Listen to this track "Saying It Right" from indie electro pop artist Jake Davis!
'Saying it Right' is inspired by the vicious cycle of insecurity we may feel when connecting our thoughts to our words. This is intelligently shown through the simplicity of a one note melody, reflecting the primal feeling of confusion enhanced with it's questioning lyrics.
"When will I know if you love me? When will I know it's time to leave?" Jake sings on the hook. The first single from Jake's debut EP, The Valley, this song's a cool, mellow track to vibe to, and definitely deals with uncertainty when it comes to telling someone how you truly feel.

Post Your Game ReMixes!
Doom 3 Title Re-Something -- "Red Blood, Red Sand"
2. ready for review Doom 3 Title Re-Something -- "Red Blood, Red Sand"
By VertigOcelot, July 14, 2019 in Post Your Game ReMixes!
VertigOcelot
Snacks'N Jaxson (+1)
So, I've been replaying Doom 3 in anticipation of the fifth one coming up, and at some point I decided to try playing the basic riff from the menu song on my guitar, which I quickly realized was much easier than it sounded. And what better way to spend the 13th of a month?
The idea in my head at first was just to create a version of the song, mostly from memory, which wasn't as mangled by compression artifacts as the in-game version. Quickly realized while I was planning that I didn't have a latin choir easily available for the section after the first refrain so I would have to do something else in that part; when I decided on a snarly sorta metal vocal I decided to add a few more small vocal bits through the song so those bits wouldn't seem as out of place... things snowballed, I got carried away and extended the song by almost two minutes with an extra chorus in there, plus some shoutouts to both "waltz of the demons" from the original doom and "harbinger" from doom 4 (itself a remix of the same song :D), a bit based on the little loop that played on Doom 3's pause menu screen, and a bunch more extra stuff.
Despite all that I am not sure if this is enough of a reinterpretation to qualify as a ReMix by the standards of this site, since the new parts are only really extensions of what the song in the game suggests. That's the specific "review" I'm looking for here. If the folks here think there's enough new stuff going on for it to count as a ReMix I'll consider submitting it officially. If you guys don't think so, then I won't.
Red Blood, Red Sand
One more thing to mention is the track took a good six hours to render to audio. While I still could be open to changing something I'm not looking forward to having to sit and wait through that again. ...if you do suggest a big change, and I decide to actually go ahead and do it, expect it to be at least a couple days before I get a new version up.
Edited July 14, 2019 by VertigOcelot
somehow spelled my own title wrong :o
Since it's getting close on 6 months without anyone replying to this at all, I'll just assume you guys decided it doesn't meet your standards and move on to other projects.
Cheers and happy new year.

Don't give up if your track slips through the cracks. Send one of the evaluators a PM, and you'll probably have a review in a few days (https://ocremix.org/community/topic/42695-what-is-evaluation-and-when-do-i-use-it/ for contact info.) I think your piece has enough variation to classify as a remix, quite a bit of impressive stuff going on here.

Hello VertigOcelot, and welcome to OCRemix, were a lot of people post their tracks, but so few actually take the time to review other's ^^
You forgot to include links to the sources in your post, which may explain why no mod actually reviewed your track.
Regarding your arrangement, it's stylistically close to the original, but with less brutal, yet darker ambiance. I like the direction you took, but it has some issues on the production side, in my opinion:
The main riff between 0:50 and 1:28 lack both stereo and bass. You have this really nice guitar tone, but it's right in the middle of the sound space, with no foundation. You could try double tracking this part, and add a bassline to it ? This problem is constant each time this section is played during the track, except at 2:32 where the bass finally comes in to fill that space. To double track, play the same riff twice, with slightly different effect chains on each take, and hard pan one to the left and the other to the right. It'll fill so much more space!
Your drums sounds a little weak and robotic:
Regarding weakness, you should probably use a bit of compression (ideally, if your drum plugin enables you to do it, process each individual mic separately, compress kick, snare and toms, but let the overhead alone). I am more on the heavier side when I arrange, but I managed to get some really nice results with OTT, a free plugin from Xfer records (OTT is for Over The Top, and it's a really accurate name, it can really mangle you sound, so be careful when using it, maybe?). If your DAW let's you do it, you could also add a little of side chaining on your guitar sound from your kick. The idea is to quickly drop the volume of the guitar (and maybe other elements) each time the kick hits, to let the transients of the kick take a LOT of energy. I don't know what DAW you use (1 hour to render makes me think maybe you are using something else than a DAW ?), but you should find relevant tutorials on Youtube regarding side chaining. Don't overdo it, just cut a few dB.
Regarding roboticness, try changing each drum note velocity a bit, so you get a slightly different sound each time. Do that on repeating patterns. You could also displace each note a little off the grid to humanize it. It's tedious, I know, so don't burn yourself, do it on some parts first, where the drums is more important, like fills.
Overall, you could try to play more with the stereo regarding the sound effects. The reverb/delay you are using is a nice stereo ping pong, but you could also drop your effect more on one side or the other. Try stuff
I noticed a bass note sounding off at around 2:32
Okay, so I focused a lot on what seemed off to me, so let me state that again: the overall track is great, and I like what you did. But it has some problems that need addressing. For me, in order, correct that bass note, double track your guitar, add some more bass, and see where it gets you! The drums may need some love, but it's not that critical right
Or, you know, start something new if you don't feel like it. It's okay to let tracks alone and start another one. I just hope that my feedback will be of some help to you You'll get better and quicker the more you produce, so keep going, whether on this track, or another!
Have a great day! Hope to hear about you sometimes!
And I forgot to ask, but how come it took you one hour of rendering? What software are you using?
Rozovian
Workshop Evaluator, Songs of Light and Darkness Director
Oh look, the forum notifies you when someone replies to the thread you're replying to. Neat. From what I can tell, everything Julien just said is true. The good and the bad.
My quick listen suggests you could work on the mix and its sound a bit. Frequency balance. Levels. Find a good reference track, same style, same sound as what you're going for, and mix accordingly. The crashes sound especially dull, and things are panned so much that there's little energy in the center.
I'm not an evaluator anymore, and I'm not sure what's public information and what isn't, but I think I can share that there weren't enough active evaluators for the workload, so there's probably a lot of tracks that have been waiting for an evaluation for months. Nothing's stopping you from asking evaluators or forum regulars directly, submitting directly to the site to get judges' feedback (if it's good enough to make it to the panel, which I think it is, but not yet good enough to get posted, which I also think is the case). Also, commenting on other people's mixes here can make them return the favor.
For the hour of rendering, I'm running FL Studio which, for some reason, takes a long time to render soundfonts. All the percussion instruments on this track come from a few very large soundfonts. That being said the new version which I upgraded to a few weeks ago seems to be a little faster.
The guitar is already double-tracked, in a way, though it uses the same audio clip on both sides, just with some stereo processing and a channel split to make it feel a bit more separated. I've been experimenting with using slightly different eqs on the left and right channel in the months since I recorded this... suspect trying something like that here could get me a result closer to what you say. If I have enough free time where I'm not working on something else (I work in health care and writing my own songs is one of the few creative outlets I have time for, so it tends to take priority over covers and remixes) I will certainly take a closer look at the mix and see what I can do with both your guys' suggestions.
I actually have done sidechaining with my guitar tracks on other songs, though usually my source is the snare drum. I don't think I really thought to do that here but it would certainly be worth trying. Maybe I'll be... kicking... myself for not thinking of that sooner XD
And lastly I apologize for just dropping this thread and kind of leaving it here. This past summer was a busy time at work, and I was also working on several music tracks for two very different game mods. As a result of all that I kind of forgot about this for a few months, and it's totally on me for not sticking around and seeing what others here have to offer. I'll see if I can make time for that sometime soon.
Also the email notifications don't seem to be working for me, since I didn't get notified for either of your posts... seems I'll have to check on my overzealous spam filter yet again.

It's a term that is thrown around in a very casual manner, but what is the correct way to write it? You've probably seen it written as OK, but other publications may have it written as O.K. instead. Those two spellings give you the indication that OK (or O.K.) must stand for something, but then it can sometimes also be written as okay, which would indicate that it's just a regular old word.
Oddly enough, it is actually completely acceptable to spell the word as OK, O.K. or okay. That being said, it is generally not acceptable to write the term as Ok (capital "O" and a lower-case "k"). If you were to write it as Ok, it would give the indication that you would pronounce the word like "oak," rhyming with poke, soak or bloke.
There are several different usages for OK, but they all come down a very similar meaning. It could be used as an adjective to mean that something is decent or reasonably acceptable. It can be interpreted as being good, but not great. For example, the dinner we had at Ristorante da Sabrina in Venice was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. You could say that "OK" is ever so slightly on the side of being positive (rather than being negative).
I hope that Jerry is going to okay the contract, because Edmond already okayed it.
Someone can also "give their okay" to something, which would carry the same kind of meaning.
When you see a series of capital letters together, with or without periods after them, you typically assume that the letters must stand for something. PIN stands for "personal identification number" and CIA stands for "Central Intelligence Agency." Given this, we would think that OK must stand for something too.
We can't be certain about the definite origin of OK, but the expression has become remarkably commonplace in the last 150+ years. How do you prefer to spell it? Do you write it as OK, O.K. or okay? They're all okay with me, though I'm least likely to use O.K.
Reading the possible meaning of O.K. with the pronunciation of orl korrect made me think of a short story I just read called A Man That was Almost a Man by Richard Wright. The author was a black man that wrote about life as a black in the days of segregation so he wrote with the inflection of the time. Ah meant I, which in all I find it interesting that folks talked so plainly back in the day.
For me, it's ok, OK, or okay.
I find some of Michael's language tips very amusing in the sense that they should cause problems for the native speakers. Perhaps that's because I've learrned the language as a foreign and lots of pitfalls have been shown to me.

Julian Sark, jucat de David Anders, lucra pentru Irina Derevko, apoi la Covenant în serialul Alias.

Biografie
Nu se știu multe despre trecutul lui Sark. Și-a petrecut cea mai mare perioadă a tinereții în Anglia. Este moștenitorul unei mari averi, fiind descendent al dinastiei Romanov.

Sark a apărut inițial în sezonul 1, operând ca agent pentru o organizație criminală, condusă de "The Man" (care s-a dovedit a fi Irina Derevko). SD-6 află despre o întâlnire dintre organizație și K-Directorate pentru a discuta despre împărțirea tehnnologiei lui Rambaldi. Sydney Bristow și Marcus Dixon trebuiau să spioneze întâlnirea. Sark oferă să transfere 100 de milioane de dolari organizației K-Directorate în contul din Insulele Cayman. În schimb, Sark cere manuscriptul lui Rambaldi (inclusiv pagina 47). Oferta era respinsă iar Sark îl asasinează pe Ilyich Ivankov, liderul K-Directorate. Noul lider K-Directorate, Lavro Kessar, acceptă oferta. Sydney, care spiona de afară întâlnirea, este detectată, încep niște focuri de armă, iar Sark fuge. Sark este văzut apoi în Tunisia încercând să fure manuscriptul lui Rambaldi, dar Sydney ajunge la el prima.

Sark călătorește la Denpasar să cumpere o a doua fiolă cu lichidul lui Rambaldi pentru a citi un document creat tot de Rambaldi. Desigur Sark nu știa că fiola era parte dintr-o înscenare pusă la care de Sydney și Michael Vaughn. Cumpărarea este întreruptă de Dixon și de alți agenți SD-6. Sark fuge cu fiola, dar Vaughn îl capturează și o recuperează. Când Vaughn îl abandonează pe Sark pentru a o salva pe Sydney, Sark este capturat de SD-6.

În timp ce Sark se afla în custodia SD-6 acesta acceptă să conducă SD-6 la Khasinau în clubul de noapte din Paris pentru a recupera un document al lui Rambaldi. Sydney și Dixon trebuiau să ia ei documentul și să-l înlocuiască cu un fals. Sydney este însărcinată de Vaughn să schimbe documentul pe care trebuia să-l dea la SD-6 cu un fals, dar nu poate pentru că îl vede pe Will Tippin, care a fost adus la Paris pentru a vorbi cu cineva despre "Circumferință". Dixon recuperează documentul, iar Sydney îl salvează pe Will cu ajutorul lui Jack și se întoarce cu el la Los Angeles.

Sark evadează din club, dar Arvin Sloane i-a implantat mai devreme lui Sark un izotop radio-activ pentru a-l urmări prin satelit. Dar Sark devine conștient de aceasta și își face o tranfuzie de sânge în Geneva. În timp ce SD-6 ajunge în Olanda, Sark se întoarce la Los Angeles și îl răpește pe Will Tippin din adăpostul CIA. Pentru a asigura recuperarea lui Will, Jack fură de la CIA fiola, iar Sydney un document de la SD-6. Jack și Sydney expun pagina și realizează că este "Circumferința", instrucțiuni despre cum se folosește dispozitivul lui Mueller (Mueller device). Jack călătorește la Taipei și face schimbul, iar Sark diapare.

În sezonul 2 Sark preia controlul asupra bunurilor Irinei Derevko, care s-a predat la CIA și se aliază mai târziu cu SD-6, spunăndu-i lui Sydney locația sever-ului 47, unde erau destule informații pentru a distruge Alianța celor Doisprezece. După căderea SD-6, Sark continuă să lucreze cu Sloane. Sark ii răpește pe soția și fiul matematicianului Neil Caplan pentru a-l obliga pe acesta să asembleze artefactele lui Rambaldi. Sark coordonează și omorârea și înlocuirea prietenei lui Sydney, Francie Calfo cu Allison Doren, care a fost transformată prin Proiectul Helix în dublura lui Francie. La sfârșitul sezonului 2, Sark este arestat de către CIA.

Sezonul 3 îl prezintă pe Sark ca un finanțator principal al
Legământului. În timpul celor doi ani când Sydney era sub acoperire ca Julia Thorne, Legământul a trimis-o pe Sydney să-l asasineze pe Andrian Lazarey. Lazarey era tatăl lui Sark, al cărui moarte aparentă face ca Sark să primească moștenire 800 milioane de dolari în aur. Aceste fonduri sunt primite de Legământ în schimbul eliberării lui Sark din arestul CIA-ului.

Sark execută misiuni pentru Legământ, câteodată cu ajutorul lui Lauren Reed, un agent dublu, care face parte din NSC și care este căsătorită cu Vaughn. Sark participă la o misiune cu Allison Doren. Odată cu distrugerea Proiectului Helix, Doren rămâne prizonieră în corpul lui Francie; Sark pretinde că o iubește, spunând că nu îi pasă. Doren este omorâtă de Tippin pe parcursul acelei misiuni.

Sark și Reed devin amanți, ajungând astfel să conspire la asasinarea liderilor celor șase celule ale Legământului, pentru a prelua controlul asupra organizației. Ei reușesc să-i omoare pe lideri și sunt felicitați de McKenas Cole, care a devenit al doilea cel mai important om în conducerea Legământului. Acesta îi numește liderii celulei Nord-Americane. Ei se aliază cu Arvin Sloane pentru a obține ecuația lui Rambaldi, pe care Nadia Santos, "Pasagerul" o deține, dar nu reușesc. Reed pornește într-o misiune deghizată în Sydney pentru a obține ecuația de la CIA și bombardează cartierul general al CIA în timp ce Sark o monitorizează. Lauren reușește să evadeze, dar Sark este arestat.

În sezonul 4, în timpul celei de a doua arestări de către CIA, Sark este eliberat sub supravegherea lui Sydney și a lui Vaughn, pentru a-i ajuta să o găsească pe Anna Espinosa. Sark este de acord să îi ajute, dar cere să vadă dovada că Lauren (femeia pe care acesta pretinde că a iubit-o, cu excepția lui Allison) este cu adevărat moartă. După ce i-a văzut cadavrul dintr-o criptă secretă a CIA, Sark își dă seama că Vaughn a fost cel ce a omorât-o. Pe parcursul misiunii, Espinosa îl ajută pe Sark să scape de Sydney și Vaughn, iar cei doi colaborează, pentru o scurtă perioadă, pentru a vinde bomba chimică. Apoi Sark Sark o abandonează pe Anna, lăsând-o la mila lui Sydney, iar apoi dispare pentru restul sezonului.

Sezonul 5 episodul "Bob" marchează întoarcerea lui Sark în serial. După moartea liderului Legământului, Elena Derevko și după căderea acestei organizații, Sark a lucrat pe cont propriu; de această dată lucrează pentru un om de afaceri sudanez, care dorea să obțină arme de distrugere în masă. Noua recrută APO, Rachel Gibson și ea au o relație de scurtă durată, în timp ce așteptau pentru o transmisie, pe care nici unul dintre ei nu știa că celălat dorește să o intercepteze. După ce Gibson îi descoperă adevărata lui identitate și raportează acest lucru la APO, Sark este angajat de agenție pentru a-i ajutaa să recupereze o armă, deși până la urmă refuză să fie plătit după ce Gibson îi salvează viața,

În episodul "I See Dead People", Sloane îi trimie lui Sark un mesaj secret, probabil pentru a-l face să lucreze cu Anna Espinosa (de fapt, cu Sydney care, după moartea Annei, se dădea drept acesta). Sark aranjează ca amândoi să fie arestați și duși într-o închisoare de maximă securitate din Italia, pentru a primi o amuletă de la un bătrân, cunoscut sub numele de "The Rose" ("Trandafirul").

Mai târziu, Sark se alătură ecipei formate din Sloane și Kelly Peyton, pentru a obține "The Horizon", ultimul obiect al lui Rambaldi de care Sloane are nevoie pentru a-și atinge scopul, de la Irina în schimbul a două rachete nucleare. După ce a plantat o bombă pentru a distruge sediul APO (bombă care l-a omorât pe Thomas Grace), Sark îl însoțește pe Sloane în Mongolia pentru a excava mormântul lui Milo Rambaldi. Acolo devine implicat într-o luptă cu Vaughn, Jack Bristow și alți agenți ai lui Sloane. Într-un schimb de împușcături din mormântul lui Rambaldi, Sark recuperează "The Horizon" și i-l oferă Irinei în Hong Kong. Din ordinele Irinei, Sark pregătește de lansare cele două rachete nucleare către Washington D.C. și Londra, dar este capturat și împușcat de Vaughn. Îl spune lui Vaughn codurile pentru a opri lansarea, iar Vaughn pare să îl lase pe Sark să plece.

Câțiva ani mai târziu, Marcus Dixon vine la Sydney și la Vaughn pentru a le cere ajutorul pentru o nouă misiune. Este dezvăluit faptul că Sark a continuat să întreprindă numeroase fapte ilegale, de aceea Dixon are nevoie de ajutor pentru a fi oprit. Sydney îl mustră în glumă pe Vaughn pentru că el a fost cel care l-a lăsat pe Sark să fugă.

Weed out the rogue cops – Citizen Nades
https://hakam.org.my/wp/2015/11/03/weed-out-the-rogue-cops-citizen-nades/
Source: The SunDaily
BY R. NADESWARAN
ON Friday, a nine-page statement from the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) was emailed to the media. It was no ordinary release as it outlined some serious shortcomings in our crime management system.
While previous cases of police brutality and custody deaths were pooh-poohed and brushed away, this time around, it was a comprehensive, detailed and analytical declaration on the death of one Syed Mohd Azlan Syed Mohamed Nur.
Investigations found attempts to get evidence by interrogating the 25-year-old resulted in 61 separate injuries on various parts of his body.
The police officers involved, the statement said, engaged in a "serious breach" of standard operating procedures on handling of detainees, material seizure, and the integrity of statements.
"There was an element of crime in the attacks involving common intent or abetment by police officers, including the arresting team, to use physical violence on the deceased to cause death or injury," the statement added.
Read with the report by the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), the EAIC statement is damning indeed.
According to Suhakam, out of the 242 persons who have died under police custody since 2000 to February 2014, only two deaths were attributed to the police.
"In Malaysia, the number of deaths in police custody is significantly high and this has become a matter of public concern and scrutiny," said Suhakam in their 2014 report.
"While the police have the duty and responsibility to maintain peace and order, and to arrest any person who has broken the laws, there is also the duty and responsibility to protect the person detained from any harm whether inflicted by him or others."
Former chief justice Tun Mohamed Dzaiddin Abdullah, who headed the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Police Reform and called for the setting up of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC), said one of the causes of deaths in custody is the indifference towards the rule of law in the police force.
"In order to understand why we have deaths in police custody in the first place, we must look to the environment within the force itself. The current attitude within the force towards the rule of law is one of indifference, with a patent disregard for human rights.
"And in order to discuss culture, one must start from the fundamentals, the very building blocks of how a mindset is created," he was quoted as saying in his keynote address at a forum titled "Rogue cops: workable solutions – Police Accountability in Malaysia" in Kuala Lumpur in May this year.
Admittedly, the police are always on the receiving end and often in court, accused and even witnesses in criminal trials claim they had been assaulted and therefore coerced into making confessions or statements. This is not unique to the force and in past instances; witnesses in corruption cases use the same ruse.
Syed Mohd Azlan's death may have been yet another statistic in the records, but the EAIC investigation among others points out other flaws, including "intention to cause physical violence".
The commission chaired by Dzaiddin 10 years ago had listed 125 recommendations, including the setting up of the IPCMC, to stamp out abuse of power by the police. However, this was met with fierce resistance by the police, and hence the EAIC, which is said to be a much watered-down version of the IPCMC, was set up as a substitute.
But the EAIC has moved above expectations with one of the harshest criticism of the police force. In view of these reports, the inevitable question is: Where do we go from here?
The EAIC has recommended that the Attorney-General's Chambers to prosecute the officers involved for the crimes identified in the agency's investigations.
And specifically, it states that action be taken under Section 302 and 325 of the Penal Code read with Section 34 of the Act. (Section 302 pertains to murder while Section 325 involves voluntarily causing grievous bodily harm; Section 34 deals with voluntarily causing hurt.)
Let it be categorically said that by and large, our police force is made up of credible officers who go by the book and brook no nonsense. The ball is now at the feet of the attorney-general. Will he take up the cudgels on behalf of the rakyat to identify and punish a tiny proportion of our policemen who give a bad name to the entire force?
R. Nadeswaran has previously worked and co-operated with many police officers whom he believed would have never raised a finger against anyone.

The Big Bang South East is back!
An extravaganza of shows, workshops and hands-on displays for students 9 to 19 years old. Held at the South of England Showground over the 26th and 27th of June, it provides a unique festival atmosphere with a mix of marquees, agricultural buildings and outdoor space.
Free for schools to attend and no limit of students welcome, this annual event gives students a great insight into the range of STEM careers that are available, with the aim of inspiring them to continue studying STEM subjects and later pursue STEM careers with a view to reduce the STEM skills gap.
In June 2018 over 10,000 students and teachers attended over the two days.
95% of students surveyed enjoyed themselves and 82% said they learnt a lot by taking part.
Over 200 employers and organisations will be providing a wide variety of hands-on interactive STEM activities such as virtual reality, computer programming and engineering workshops designed to challenge student's perceptions and inspire them to find out more about the world of STEM.
Meet inspirational STEM role models from over 200 employers including: apprentices; graduates and STEM Ambassadors.
Discuss the wide variety of STEM career opportunities in a fun and inspirational environment.
Enter into the prestigious Big Bang UK Young Scientist & Engineers Competition where they will present their work to judges.
To get a flavour of the event watch the 2018 event video to see why it's so popular with students, teachers and employers alike.
Our annual event, is the largest STEM event in the national Big Bang Near Me programme, led by EngineeringUK and the culmination of Crawley STEMfest.
You will then be able to select your choice of day when you complete the 'New Registration' section.
Students entering projects into the UK Big Bang Competition should attend on Wednesday 26 June.
Free tickets are purchased via the national Big Bang Fair website however, please contact us at STEM Sussex if you have any other queries about the event itself.
The Big Bang Fair South East has definitely provided the opportunity for our students to engage with hands-on, real-life applications of science studies. At St. Wilfrid's we have increased the number of students attending the event from 40 to 100 within 4 years, uptake of A level subjects has doubled (Physics has quadrupled with many girls interested) and we have had 4 teams represent the area in the national finals at the NEC in Birmingham. One of our teams became the National winners of the Big Bang Intermediate Engineers Competition of the year. I cannot recommend the Big Bang South East enough as the snowball effect it has had on our students is amazing.
Just wanted to write to say what a fantastic time we had... It was my first Big Bang trip and I was blown away by the quantity and quality of the activities on offer. The students had an amazing day. Highlights included snakes, tree climbing, virtual reality and the Gatwick airport tent. It really was a wonderful day.
Enable your students to showcase their work to judges and attendees.

We weren't going to do a Father's Day gift guide this year, despite you all loving our guides. To be frank, we were quite disappointed with the offerings for men, it seemed where Dads were concerned, there was no surprise.
Beard trimmers and socks, ties and screwdrivers, we'd quite simply had enough. We covered all these in our Christmas gift guides and are still up to our ears in boring stuff!
Then a few companies got in touch to try and change our minds, to show us that they have solved this problem with brilliant gifts for guys.
We put together a selection of those we liked the best and now it's over to you to put them to the test.
Just visit their website and you will see just how incredible this gift really is. We sent one of our newbie researchers to test out this F1 experience and he was like the cat that got the cream. He now believes he has the best job in media, working for Sunday Woman, and we're inclined to agree!
With Formula 1 now in full swing Lets Race, based in Horley on the borders of Surrey & Sussex (near Gatwick airport), can provide the perfect opportunity for any motorsport fan to let loose and offers a great gift for those dads who have everything.
Drivers can battle it out on the track in one of the centre's 10 replica F1 cars that simulate speeds of up to 200mph and, thanks to grids full motion capabilities, Lets Race offers the closest experience to driving the real thing without the multimillion pound price tag.
What's more, families can all enjoy a day out at the centre as Lets Race offers a GT Zone for children aged 7+, a Batak wall, a large scale Scalectrix track and a seated grandstand area in the main simulator room so everyone can experience the action no matter their age.
There's also an incredible offer of two for one on RIGHT NOW!
We loved this watch, we were a little skeptical at first as some had complained about connections but we didn't find any fault at all, and we trialled in in the middle of Exmoor. It fits comfortably onto the wrist and is actually quite stylish, it also brings a little more excitement to an ordinary run. He'll love it.
You can also now upload the data from your watch and download the QuickGPSFix without having to connect to your computer via the MySports mobile app. I've also sent you the reviewer's guide on how to use this on your smartphone.
Please remember that the GPS satellites move all the time so it is important to update your watch regularly to ensure a fast GPS fix. The best results are obtained when standing still, outside, with a clear line of sight to the sky. Also note that it may be slower to obtain a GPS fix the very first time you use it in any given location.
OK, we may be living in a world of equality (almost) but what man doesn't like knowing he's taking care of the family? If this doesn't interest him, taking care of his mancave might.

There's also a ZEPP football analyser now which will sell out fast as soon as people learn just how brilliant it really is. Bound to be a winner with all dads. get your hands on it as soon as you can.
In the office we've been looking for posture solutions. We even considered buying the ribbed yoga balls that have recently been introduced in Chinese office blocks. We worry, as writers, how much time we spend sat at a desk and the effects it has on our posture and bones as a result. This, Lumo lift is the ideal solution. Just a quarter of the price of the Chinese balls, it is easy to install, and even easier to use. Dads will love it – guaranteed.
Lumo Lift is an appearance booster and activity tracker that provides real-time feedback on body position and movement. It comes in an assortment of styles and coloured clasps, and can even be worn invisibly, the Lumo Lift sensor provides a gentle vibration and will remind dad to keep his shoulders back and head lifted if slouching.

Its splash-proof feature and portable design makes it an ideal garden / travel companion, and its bike mount creates the perfect speaker to listen to music both inside and outside the home.
The Booqpad is a stylish case to store your iPad, notebook, stylus, train tickets and cash, designed symmetrically for both left and right hand users.
Poor Dad, he's always the last to get to the Wi-Fi, with children and socially aware wives hogging the internet. How will he ever check the football scores or read BBC news? Now Dad ca enjoy great wifi- even in the shed (we tested it) with this neat device from BT.
We think many dads will really appreciate it, no matter where he is, he'll be in a home Wi-Fi hotspot!
Ideal fathers day gift for the tech savvy dad if he is always playing on his tablet or trying to stream footy online maybe. BT offers the Mini Wi-Fi Home Hotspot 500 Kit and the 11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi Extender 1200, these products allow users to keep a strong internet connection, access the internet in spots which aren't always great for Wifi and ensure you are always connected.
An unconventional yet super useful gadget for any dad, the WeMo Insight Switch gives you more control of your everyday household appliances.
Simply plug the switch into the wall socked and then the desired appliance into the switch to be able to control the appliance remotely using the free WeMo app. Available to download from the App store and Google Play – using the app you can turn the device on and off, set schedules and rules based on your own routine which can save you valuable minutes in an already hectic day. Set the coffee to brew, ready to pour by the time you walk downstairs every morning or turn the TV off remotely at 5pm to ensure the kids do their homework on a school night.
With a large colour display and customisable features including background, colour schemes and ringtones, the C430A can bring to life any home with its vibrant colour scheme, allowing your dad to enjoy quality conversations with friends and family.
The handset also has a useful baby monitor function – ideal for first-time dads or households with young visitors.
Sunday Woman's opinion – We love these phones and can see why Dad would too. He'd look so much more stylish with this stuck to his belt rather than a baby monitor. That aside, it's triple functionality is sure to delight and it takes just seconds to set up. You can even mute callers you don't want to hear from, now that's a bonus! We love them. We'll also have an independent review over on our sister site, The Consumer Voice, very soon.
The accident proof Gigaset E630A features a durable outer-shell that is resistant to shocks, water, and dust. Good enough for Alan Titchmarsh, the robust Gigaset E630A is designed for avid gardeners or in a busy summer garden, and is unaffected by the green, or muddy hand.
Certified to the international standard IP65 standard, the shock resistant rubber back not only protects the phone if dropped, but also means it can be held between the ear and shoulder without slipping. It has a hands free function too, ideal for chatting while keeping up with household tasks or the odd DIY job.
Exceptionally easy to use, the E630A has a large 1.8 inch colour display and an easy to wipe, sealed key pad – perfect for use with mucky or wet fingers.
Sunday Woman's opinion – with our offices on a farm we need a phone that can stand the heat and this one does just that. Although it doesn't advertise it we were also impressed with the range as we could go to the depths of the garden, or over to the Family Mealtimes kitchen without that annoying beeping. It's taken us an age to find a phone we'd like to use across all offices and now we have, we're not letting it go. This is a must for Dads who love the outside, whether building, gardening or taking time out in a man cave as it can withstand most!
For the younger Dad, try a skate board, but not just any skateboard. This tough board can hold great weight without compromising speed. To go with Dad's new toy, check out the clothes from SaltRock, these are supreme high quality while being markedly better than the average TopMan.
For the dad that has two mobile phones this high quality leather case is just the ticket.
All cases can be bought from www.pearpeel.com, each case is either priced £45 or £49.
This vented plastic shelving unit is ideal for the mancave. We tested it over a month and found it eliminates a lot of storage problems usually found in barns. It doesn't let damp grow, and stays relatively dust free. It's sturdy, easy to put together and has generous storage, we love it. It's also very cheap.
Who wouldn't want more storage?
