Zoocha was founded in 2009 as a developer of bespoke web solutions using open source frameworks, specifically Drupal (Drupal.org). Our services range from digital strategy consultancy, user experience design, solutions architecture and website development, hosting & support.
Our development and support services are ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified. We are Gov.uk Cyber Essentials certified, members of the National Cyber Security Centre CiSP programme and members of the London Digital Security Centre.
Zoocha are an approved UK Government supplier on the G Cloud procurement framework and the Digital Outcomes and Specialists (DOS2) framework. Any UK public sector body can purchase our services via these frameworks.
Zoocha are passionate about finding and nurturing great people and our exceptionally low staff turnover is one the of the achievements we are most proud of. This has been recognised by many of our clients as a critical factor in the success of our partnership with them, as they benefit from the depth of knowledge, expertise and maturity of the team they are working with. Our team benefit from a training and development programme many of which gaining industry recognised qualifications.
"They're not out to charge the maximum for whatever you ask for. Instead, they deliver truly exciting ideas."
After revamping a website to adjust customers perceptions, Zoocha Ltd. transitioned to managing ongoing development work and backend updates. They’re currently upgrading hosting to Drupal 8 and Commerce 2.
Sales have expanded to three times their volume and advertising channels are more diverse. Zoocha Ltd. made good use of a staging to site to test code before deploying, which ensured top-level effectiveness. Although they have a full portfolio, they’re highly accessible during emergencies.
I’m the CEO of Countryside Ski and Climb. We’re a highly specialized outdoor and snow sports retailer, with both brick and mortar and online operations.
What challenge were you trying to address with Zoocha Ltd?
Originally, we were looking for an agency to produce a website that would be more in keeping with how we presented ourselves as a retailer. We also to stand out from our competitors, so we needed some functionalities that weren’t available out of the box, so to speak.
They took the initial brief and came back with the usual framework and design suggestions for how to work with our existing logo and theming. But, other than that, we gave them fairly free rein. They're very good at suggesting quick-win solutions and identifying where you can apply what I call an 80-20 rule to gain better conversions. They're particularly active on the technical end, and they've been extremely helpful in raising our return on advertising spend, as well as keeping a handle on daily costs.
We have a contract with them for maintenance now so they monitor our up-time. Last summer, they changed all of our background stuff – databases and Drupal modules. We've also had a couple of people do backend database work, integrating a legacy stock management system. The guys at Zoocha picked up comma-separated values (CSV's), which were produced by a separate, freelance developer I work with, from a designated server.
At the moment, the site looks more long in the tooth, but that’s because it's due for a big update, which they’re working on at the moment. Currently, we're using Drupal 7.5 and Commerce, and we're moving to Drupal 8 and Commerce 2. The modules they were using back in 2011 are now built into the latest releases of Drupal Commerce, so now they're using toolkits that are out of the box.
We only worked with one person on our original project - the website redesign - but we’ve hooked in two or three others since then to work on various projects. I’ve had two project managers since we’ve started, and both have been excellent. I’ve also talked and had meetings with various senior staff members.
How did you come to work with Zoocha Ltd.?
A consultant shortlisted them and five other agencies, and we ended up interviewing three of them. Zoocha spoke the right language they seemed honest and straightforward, and they had experience with Drupal’s CMS. They came across favorably and showed much more interest in our company and our project than other’s did. They came up with some really cool design ideas - similar functionalities to a couple of other firms, but with more pizazz.
We’ve been working together since April 2011.
Our online business is three times the size it was in 2011. Their account handler is very vigilant on our return on advertising spend and has suggested alternative acquisition channels, like Bing, because we want to get away from our reliance, in terms of acquired business, on Google, which is a big risk.
How did Zoocha Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?
They hit their deadlines and keep you informed along the way. During the development phase, I would generally connect, face to face, with my project manager, but not necessarily with the developers or the actual front- or backend coders. I wouldn't need to do that. This way, they manage client expectations and it prevents the developers from being getting down with silly client questions.
They look at how they can work with you - because we're an e-commerce retailer, they're looking to make sure that we win as a retailer. They're not out to charge the maximum for whatever you ask for. Instead, they deliver truly exciting ideas.
They always address code, bug, and crash issues. Everything they code goes onto a staging website and is thoroughly tested before it’s released. They're very particular about that, and they don’t work on a live site, which I think is the best way to do it.
They're a very busy agency, so, sometimes, trying to get projects done when you want them to be done doesn't necessarily fit - their business is very successful and very busy, which is a good thing, but frustrating if you're an end-client and you need something really quickly. They're very responsive in an emergency, but for second- and third-tier items, they can be quite slow. But what I will say is: in an emergency, it's all hands on deck.
I think everyone should talk to more than one agency and make their own judgments. I can't do anything other than recommend them based on the other agencies we've interviewed and used. I've found Zoocha to be very straight-shooting and honest. I do think you have to be prepared to pay a realistic market price for what you're asking them to do. Most people have unrealistic expectations and don’t realize that they’ll have to pay for ongoing maintenance on the site, but, that's how the world works.
When they've set a deadline, they've always met it.
We sell high-end, best-quality equipment, so value can be graded. So, something being most expensive is not necessarily best value, nor the cheapest, so you get what you pay for.
I’d refer them with the qualification that you have to be prepared to pay for their services. They're not a low-end agency, so you've got to be prepared to pay.
"Listen to their ideas because they know how to deliver value."
Zoocha built an MVP from an early-stage platform and tested features in an automated environment. Since development, the team has done backend support, API services, and feature enhancements.
Post-launch, the app has obtained numerous B2B customers and important security certification. Zoocha delivers high-caliber results with lower operating costs and enhanced code quality. Their investment in long-term resources reflects the team’s commitment to quality and long-term relationships.
I’m the CEO of Mydex Data Services CIC, a digital trust platform for identity and personal data.
What challenge were you trying to address with Zoocha?
We had a “community prototype” of a platform–with wireframes and experience examples –that equips individuals with a portable digital identity and personal data storage for any aspect of their life e.g. financial, behavioral, energy. We wanted a long-term partner to build a minimum viable product (MVP) for launching the platform. The MVP would be the foundation of the production-scale trust platform. We also wanted a test platform for ongoing security testing and automation.
We have a core team that has with between 25–30 in total. I’ve worked directly with the two founders. Although we have project managers for specific sprints, their CTO does decomposition work and allocates it tasks. We can also send specific stories to them.
How did you come to work with Zoocha?
We codified the criteria and researched U.K.-based vendors. Our team found about five potential agencies and proceeded to interview them before selecting Zoocha. They made a great impression and successfully conveyed their commitment to quality. Furthermore, their team had years of experience with both internal and external software developers. We knew they weren’t over-promising results.
We’ve spent more than £2 million ($2,678,182 USD).
We started working with them in March 2012 and the partnership is ongoing.
Overall, Zoocha delivers high-caliber results. We have B2B customers that serve 30 million people in total, but most are under NDAs. The platform secured post-launch independent security certification and we’ve successfully entered into procurement frameworks for the British government.
The automated deployment environment has reduced operating costs and friction while increasing code quality. Given Zoocha’s investment in onboarding to maximize skill sets, we’re very happy with the pricing. Their technical director has been an instrumental contact between teams during those processes.
How did Zoocha perform from a project management standpoint?
In the early days, when we were first getting to know Zoocha’s team, they were effective in keeping us informed and up-to-date. We now use dashboards, reviews, and a set of processes that make project management straightforward and transparent. We use various collaboration tools for sprint management as well as Google Hangouts, Skype, Slack, and G Suite. Our team shares documents, libraries, and induction plans on DevNet for new Zoocha resources.
Both sides have a good relationship. Zoocha’s staff has minimal turnover because they train employees for long-term collaborations. They have motivated team members with high levels of integrity. Their excellent management skills allow us to focus on the project’s security and safety fundamentals. Although we’ve had to pivot slightly when things didn’t go as planned, Zoocha has addressed those issues in a proactive manner.
The team has a positive attitude and wants to make the collaboration successful. They’re always committed to quality and have never been defensive when a mistake occurs. The founders give our mission purpose and continue to be supportive of our goals.
No. I recommend them to other businesses and those firms also have positive feedback about the engagements. I’m proud of their performance and growth.
New clients should be honest about their mission and goals. Zoocha is knowledgeable and good at running through procurement, but it’s still important to have that conversation with them. Then let them explain their workflows and offerings. They have fantastic analysis tools and innovative ideas, so ask then team how to optimize the approach. Listen to their ideas because they know how to deliver value.
They’re adaptability and on-time deliveries are a good fit for our fluid plans.
They have always delivered a fair rate, including bulk discounts for long-term volumes.
They over-deliver and acknowledge their mistakes. We can’t ask for more than that.
"The refresh that we did with Zoocha Ltd has increased business value by three times..."
Zoocha helped develop an interactive web application for the clean energy sector. It was built on PHP using Drupal framework. They also helped integrate the app with a mobile app. Now, they maintain the app.
The app is live, and Zoocha’s work significantly increased the business value of the app. They produced a stable, high-quality app. The team offers an excellent partnership, building the relationship beyond the transaction. They’re a dependable and trustworthy team.
I’m the CEO and founder of Engerati Ltd. We provide market insights and intelligence for the clean energy sector.
We were looking at building a new web app from the ground up.
They worked quite intimately with me to design the data architecture and building the web app. Our in-house dev team worked closely with Zoocha Ltd to deliver the web app. It’s a very interactive app. It allows people to customize their own experiences. Users can archive and reuse content. It was done on PHP using the Drupal framework. We had a single sign-on requirement with Simple Funnel PHP library. They helped with the polish and frontend design of it.They also helped us with integration with our mobile app.
We finished the main project, but they’re still an ongoing partner for us. They now deal with the uptime and continual support of the website. When there are new releases to the modules and functionality, they deal with the upgrades. They’re also the people who get the alerts in case the website goes down.
We had two developers all the time, and sometimes, we had three.
How did you come to work with Zoocha Ltd?
Before I set up this business, I was leading a digital platform initiative and was working with Zoocha Ltd. putting about 400 websites onto one platform.
We spent £120,000 ($159,773 USD).
We managed to do it all in four weeks. We started working together in July 2017 and the work is ongoing.
The web app is live. The refresh that we did with Zoocha Ltd has increased business value by three times, and in some areas, it’s about six times. We haven’t had any bugs or crashes.
How did Zoocha Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?
I managed the project. We had in-person meetings monthly in the beginning. We had weekly scrums and logged everything in Jira.
They’re real people. It was very nice to have someone who views us as a partner and not just a client. We don’t have a typical buyer/seller relationship. They’ve got a great partnership-based philosophy.
Their main area of improvement is the direct result of growing pains. They’ve taken on so many clients. There was an occasion when we didn’t know that a specific developer was spending less time on our project for very legitimate reasons. There’s a bit of work that needs to be done with the transparency of communication.
If you’re building a sophisticated app, it’s important to have a strong technical lead at your end as well. It helped us immensely that I have fairly detailed technical skills and am able to communicate with them in that way.

Help is never too far away, and this help is free!
One of the most misunderstood and underused resources on any military installation are its chaplains. Although they are all trained pastors supported by a specific denomination, their duties and scope fall well outside the church. They are counselors, they are available, and they respect your confidentiality. They are trained in areas such as family life, trauma, marriage, finances, and so much more. They are available if your child needs counseling or to help you find another chaplain if the first one you speak with isn’t the right fit. The best part about confiding in chaplains is that nothing shocks them—nothing.
Military OneSource can help Solo Moms and their kids find the perfect nonmedical counselor. There are three options for meeting with these counselors: 1) a face-to-face meeting with a local counselor or therapist in your community, 2) a meeting via telephone arranged by Military OneSource, or 3) an online meeting in a real-time chat format. These services are free and available to the families of active-duty, Guard, and Reserve service members, and, under special circumstances, Department of Defense civilians. There are limits to what these counselors and therapists can do, but they are a good place to start and are a free resource for Solo Moms.
Military Family Life Counselors (MFLC) are certified counselors who rotate into military installations on a temporary basis and provide short-term, nonmedical counseling support for family members. They are able to provide confidential and undocumented counseling on a range of issues, including relationships, crisis intervention, stress management, grief, and other family issues. Most installations have an MFLC for children and one for adults. They are especially helpful for Solo Moms with school-aged children, as they are able to go into the schools and observe and talk with the children.
Did you know that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides free counseling for families of active-duty service members through its Vet Centers? These services generally are tailored to those dealing with mental-health issues. Staff members are specially trained in suicide prevention and also offer free readjustment counseling to those returning from combat and to their families. There are more than 200 Vet Centers throughout the country, and they are available to all Solo Moms for counseling. Your local Vet Center may be closer than an installation and therefore be an easier option.
When nonmedical counseling is not the right option, TRICARE and the local military treatment facility are another great option. Often recommended for children and Solo Moms by counselors and therapists, the providers either on or off the installation can continue the counseling help you need. Of course, dealing with TRICARE and referrals are a headache, but if done right, all should be covered. Don’t let the fuss turn you off from the resources that are at your disposal should you need them.
To find the best fit for your needs, contact any one of these organizations, either online or the ones in your community, today. Do not wait. If you think you need someone to talk to, find someone now.

A calm moment is a rare find in any woman’s chaotic day. But she needs it. She needs the moment to refocus and refresh her soul. She needs the inspiration to find God in the mess and the mundane that often defines her. She craves the solitude of a moment with the Master to quiet the storms. She needs to laugh and remember why she loves being who she is.
Do you ever get a calm moment? You need to take one every day no matter what or where you are. God needs you to be free of restrictions, distractions and any other worldly obstacles in your way.
Open your arms wide be filled with the Holy Spirit and enjoy your time.
You need to take one every day no matter what or where you are. God needs you to be free of restrictions, distractions and any other worldly obstacles in your way. I have read this article it's really very informative. It is fabulous post. Get pakistan super league teams on our website.
Very innovative! I really like the idea of multimedia patient education. We need doctors to have proper detailed education of their patients. I inspired me that someone has thought of an idea of educating doctors about their patients through multimedia instead of paperwork and files. We should adapt this idea in our hospitals for sure.
I completely agree with you, I, too, am struggling to find a calm moment in my life. Things just become really hectic for me recently. It feels like there is nothing good that is going my way. My job, my education, my family, and even my boyfriend are all giving me a hard time. Managing all these things at once is starting to become a problem for me and I really wish I could fix them. I hope you can find a calm moment too!
We all need these calm moments. They are really valuable for all of us.

Members of the Gadsden City Council on Tuesday criticized some members of Etowah County’s legislative delegation for saying that they would not permit local legislation to allow a vote on Sunday liquor sales.
The issue came up after the council heard a request from government classes at Westbrook Christian School asking it to pass a resolution supporting the naming of the portion of U.S. Highway 411 from Interstate 759 to Ashville in honor of Afghanistan and Iraqi war veterans.
The request is part of a interactive class project to give the students insight as to how government works. The class has talked with Alabama Department of Transportation officials about the project and is working with Sen. Phil Williams, R-Rainbow City, on it. The students said the Rainbow City Council has also agreed to support the project.
Council members voiced support for the idea, and President Pro Tem Johnny Cannon asked City Attorney Lee Robertson to draw up a resolution for the next council meeting.
Avery said he understands the legislative delegation wants the council to unanimously pass a resolution for the delegation to permit legislation allowing a vote on Sunday alcohol sales. Traditionally, all members of a county’s legislative delegation must agree before local legislation can be considered by the Legislature.
He said the list dates back to 1999 and includes requests and letters from the council concerning changes in the Civil Service Board Act.
Now, Avery said, the council has received a letter from Williams asking it to help the Westbrook students with the highway project and indicating that he will help on the state level.
Only Rep. Craig Ford, D-Gadsden, has said he would support legislation allowing a vote on Sunday sales. Williams and Rep. Mack Butler, R-Rainbow City, last week said they would oppose it on religious grounds, but would discuss the issue. Rep. Becky Nordgren, R-Gadsden, said at present she would oppose it because she’s done so in the past, but would listen to her constituents.
Avery after the meeting said a “unanimous” resolution supporting Sunday sales would pass the council only if the entire legislative delegation agreed to support a vote on the issue.
Councilman Deverick Williams said, “I think the city has done its part and has taken a pretty strong position as it relates to that. I think what you’ll get, almost without fail, from these council members is they just want people to have the opportunity to vote, whatever their position is as relates to that.
“It always concerns me ... when an elected official puts their personal position in front of the ability of people to vote on it, that always concerns me,” Williams said. “That’s not how a democracy is built — I’ll leave that alone."
Councilman Billy Harris also said he is concerned with the delegation’s stand.
“I, too, have a problem with someone dictating their own personal feelings or convictions on the people of the state of Alabama and particularly the city of Gadsden,” he said.
Avery questioned why would one member of the delegation want a unanimous endorsement of Sunday sales from the council, when that member has said he wouldn’t support allowing a referendum under any circumstances, and when the final decision is up to the delegation.

(Silver Spring, MD) � In the world of investigation, the path to the truth is never straight and seldom smooth. Hours of relentless detective work and piecing together clues can be daunting, especially when you are hunting for a suspect who took someone�s life. In Investigation Discovery�s new six-part docu�series, THE SHIFT, viewers follow the work and lives of a highly effective team of homicide detectives within the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD). With exclusive access, THE SHIFT takes the ultimate in-depth look at the teamwork, intuition, and tenacious commitment required to provide justice for the victims, their family and the entire Indianapolis community. THE SHIFT premieres Sunday, December 21, at 10 PM ET on Investigation Discovery.
Like every large city in the U.S., Indianapolis has its fair share of violent crime. However, IMPD�s homicide department currently maintains a nearly 78% clearance rate � the percent of cases where a suspect is arrested and charged � compared to the national average of 61%. Focusing on the efforts of some of the best homicide detectives in the country, THE SHIFT follows IMPD�s �middle shift� and their chain of command, from the initial radio call requesting homicide at the crime scene to the ultimate satisfaction of clicking the cuffs on a suspect. The middle shift covers from 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM daily, what is considered �primetime� for homicide investigations; however, immediately following a murder the detectives often work around the clock to close the case before the leads go cold.
The key members featured in THE SHIFT include Detectives Jesse Beavers, Chuck Benner, Todd Lappin, Christine Minka, Lesia Moore and Tom Tudor, as well as their supervisors Sergeant Jeff Breedlove, Lieutenant Kevin Kelly, and Deputy Chief William Benjamin. Each detective has a distinctive personality and style � Minka is tenacious, with a 100% conviction rate; Benner has slick street savvy; Moore has a smooth laid back attitude; Lappin possesses a network of informants and the �odd couple� � Detectives Beavers and Tudor who have worked as partners for years � provide much-needed humor during the sometimes grim days at the office. Although each detective has a unique method of work, this close-knit team operates under one general rule: they cannot control the fact that someone has died, and they cannot control the circumstances of how it happened. What they can do is work for the deceased, solving the case to bring whatever closure is possible to the surviving family and justice to the community.
Challenging cases chronicled in THE SHIFT range from a suspicious suicide involving a �Jane Doe� to a home robbery resulting in multiple mortally-wounded victims. Detective Minka encounters her first missing person case, which is considered one of the toughest types because without a body, she has to first prove a homicide occurred. THE SHIFT showcases many of the tools utilized by these homicide detectives including interrogation techniques, confidential informants, cadaver sensing K-9 units, forensic science and a keen ability to unravel conflicting witness reports to uncover the truth. These sophisticated methods of investigation are employed to secure a simple, yet gratifying result � a small dot sticker on the department�s bulletin board of homicide cases signifying another murder suspect is behind bars. THE SHIFT is produced for Investigation Discovery by Lucky Rabbit Media. Kathleen Minton is executive producer, Pauline Mason is supervising producer and Jean Candiotte is supervising story producer for Lucky Rabbit Media. Christo Doyle is executive producer, Deborah Adler Myers is senior vice president of programming and Clark Bunting is president and general manager for Investigation Discovery.

While email is convenient and has a good business use, it can also be misused by criminals for scams and various other fraudulent purposes. "Phishing emails" are frequently used by criminals to entice the recipient to visit a fraudulent website where they try to convince the recipient to provide personal information, such as ATM card numbers, account numbers, Social Security numbers, access IDs, and passwords. Some of these fraudulent websites may also be virus laden and can be used to download malware to your computer. Fraudulent websites often look identical to a legitimate site, so it's important to look very closely at the website address.

Salad Pride has become a regular feature on the blog – with their unique and innovative combinations, along with their beautiful presentation, it is no wonder why. David Bez (the mastermind behind the Salad Pride franchise) continues to impress and delight with his passion for beautiful life-giving food, interesting and impressive flavours and a constantly evolving and progressing menu. It was a pleasure to visit the second establishment opening in Kings Road and I expect to see many more ‘Salad Pride’ eateries popping up in the future.
David Bez’ Salad Pride in Neil’s Yard played host to my first ever Supper Club experience. The concept behind the evening was a fully synthetic and mindful food experience, a walk through the senses, colours and chakra’s. 7 courses of intricately created mindful food with accompanying affirmations- we were challenged to allow all five senses to experience each course and to take a few moments before tucking in to consider the mantra, chakra and fully envelop ourselves in the dish in front of us.
A crunchy crust of pumpkin seeds leading into beautifully spiced black beans and melting down into a rich and smoky tomato sauce with marinated mushrooms and truffle oil, served with a sharp yet sweet red ginger juice.
Sacral Chakra – creativity, joy and passion.
A squash and carrot coconut curry soup, incredibly creamy, sweet and rich, with a clarifying kick of ginger cutting through the flavours and refreshing the pallet ready for the next spoonful; accompanied by a carrot and ginger juice.
Solar Plexus Chakra – Plays a vital role in digestion. Intellect, personal power, control, spiritual evolution.
A chickpea flour omelette complimented by turmeric sauerkraut to aid digestion, creamy saffron humus and mustard crackers. Served with a turmeric lemon kombucha tonic.
Heart Chakra – unconditional love, compassion and wellbeing.
Spiralised cucumber noodles coated in avocado cream with basil, peas and a crunch from toasted pistachios and buckwheat; refreshing green cucumber smoothie.
Throat Chakra – Truth, maturity and independence.
Salty cashew nut cheese with a sharp blueberry and chia jam served with Spirulina Kafir.
Surprisingly light raw chocolate cheesecake with a berry coolie and chai tea.
Crown Chakra – Awakening consciousness, enlightenment and intelligence.
Beautifully refreshing end to a beautiful meal – lavender banana ice cream and detox tea.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience with great company, delicious food and beautiful surroundings. Taking the time to really think about what we eat and how it makes us feel and affects us physically and emotionally was a very grounding experience and one I can most definitely recommend.

3. Come prepared: just like a farmer goes to the farm with farming implements, go to the class with whatever is required of you or things needed for convenience such as calculator, mathematical sets, pencils, booklet, pen, bottled water and the likes. Remember, your aim for attending the lecture is to get knowledge/ideas from the tutor. All of these materials at your disposal will see to this goal being achieved.
4. Write, write and write intelligible: An old Chinese proverb says that “the faintest ink is more powerful than the strongest memory”. Endeavor to write during lectures. Put down important points, employ the use mnemonics, retrieval cues, and whatever will aid retention and recall of what has been taught.
5. Ask questions: no lecturer who knows his/her onions will penalize you for being inquisitive. When an aspect of your course content is not well understood, do ask questions! This is to ensure that learning objectives are achieved and no grey area left unattended to.
6. Stay away from that noisy friend during lectures: Loquacious, hyperactive, playful... You know them. You also risk being sent out of the class for being a nuisance along with them. Avoid them, it'll benefit you and that also sends a message to them that such actions are unacceptable.
7. Open you mind: go to class/lectures with the mind-set of learning something new. Be open to new ideas/knowledge. Appreciate the fact that the instructor has spent considerable amount of time putting together the learning content.
When you adhere to this few steps, be sure of getting the best from that lecture and ultimately getting that eye-popping CGPA!
The comments section is open for further discourse.
Quite detailed. This should work.

Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cover the chicken breasts with plastic wrap and pound them with a mallet to uniform thickness (about 1/2 inch). This is important so they cook quickly and evenly.
In a shallow bowl or on a plate, combine the honey-Dijon mustard, water, salt, and pepper. In another shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, flour, and paprika. Coat both sides of the chicken with the mustard mixture, then the breadcrumb mixture, and place on the baking sheet.
Melt the butter or margarine, and drizzle it over the chicken. Bake the chicken for 10 to 15 minutes, without flipping, until it is lightly browned and the thickest part is no longer pink inside.

In a 2010 letter to shareholders, Washington Post CEO Donald Graham admits that Kaplan University engaged in a scheme to raise tuition on poor students. The scheme was launched for the sole purpose of avoiding a violation of the Department of Education's (DOE) “90/10” rule and to assure Kaplan's profits' successful and continual reliance on subsidies from the pockets of publicly funded, federal student loan money. Most Kaplan revenues come from the federal government's Title IV program. If enough students borrow the cost of tuition, Kaplan would be in violation of the 90/10 rule.
As Graham casually noted in the letter to shareholders: ” … each time the federal government raises the maximum amount granted under Pell Grants or the maximum federal loan amount, we end up compelled to raise tuitions to comply with 90/10″ (Ibid).
Given that schools do not control, and generally may not limit, student lending, one of the more effective methods of reducing the 90/10 rule percentage is to increase tuition prices above the applicable maximums for Title IV student loans and grants, requiring other sources of funding to cover the remaining tuition balance, in order to reduce the percentage of revenue from Title IV sources. Although modification of the 90/10 rule could limit this potential undesirable impact on tuition, there is no assurance that the Department of Education, or Congress, will address this problem.” (Page 6 of the 2010 10-K annual report).
A cursory review of the legislative history and intent behind the 90/10 rule clearly indicates that Graham's admitted actions are in direct contradiction to the intent of the 90/10 rule – a rule designed to assure that 10 percent of monies paid to for-profit colleges come from students not covered by federal student-loan aid.
At the parent company's annual meeting last May, Mr. Graham said, “Kaplan continues to go gangbusters.” Mr. Graham says Washington Post executives used to joke about Kaplan reaching $1 billion in revenue, “because it seemed so wildly unlikely.” Now that goal seems within reach. And he says one reason the Washington Post has focused on educational acquisitions is that television stations and other media properties it might otherwise seek to acquire have grown too expensive. “Given prices in media, education has been the bulk of where we have had to grow, and I love the way Kaplan grows” (Ibid).
If Kaplan is deliberately increasing tuition rates to get its hands on more government monies – utilizing a clever accounting gimmick to assure that the tuition rates exceed Title IV grant and loan limits for the sole purpose of avoiding violation of the 90/10 rule, as Graham stated in the shareholder letter – then this may represent a criminal financial scheme to fraudulently maintain access to government funds. If true, the company, Graham and other CEOs should be criminally and civilly prosecuted. Eric Holder and the Department of Justice (DOJ) should be jumping all over Kaplan for defrauding taxpayers. The DOE should be issuing loud calls for the scheme to stop.

But they're not, even though the statements by Graham are more than two years old. The reason they're not is quite possibly the fact that both Democrats and Republicans feed at the trough of the for-profit largesse by accepting monies for their campaigns. For example, Democrat Reps. Alcee L. Hastings (Florida), Carolyn McCarthy (New York), Donald M. Payne (New Jersey), Edolphus “Ed” Towns (New York), Tim Holden (Pennsylvania) and Ted Deutch (Florida) have asked the DOE to scrap the new regulation.
Hastings alone received $47,500 from the “educational industry.” But that's not all: take a look at the “educational industry” contributions to 20 members of the House of Representatives, and you can see specifically which coin-operated politicians – Democrats and Republicans – are on the take.
The list of Democrats explains why there has not been much mainstream corporate media coverage of Mitt Romney's plugging for his friend's for-profit university as a solution to the problem of rising higher-education costs.
Top for-profit university contributors to political campaigns can be found here.
Rep. John Kline, a Republican from Minnesota, alone received $176,000 in lobbying money from the corporate, for-profit predatory universities.
Graham would like to blame poor students targeted as marks by Kaplan for borrowing too much money, but the fact is that Kaplan has created a debt sinkhole that is forcing students to borrow more and more taxpayer funds to subsidize Kaplan shareholders while they sink deeper and deeper into debt. This is unconscionable, and that the swindle masks itself as “access to education” is telling. The identical argument was made by Wall Street hucksters and banksters when they gave “liar loans” to consumers so they could be part of the “ownership society” and purchase a home they could not afford.
Graham's own words are an indictment of Kaplan's business practices and plans, but there is additional evidence that Kaplan's tuition costs for poor students enrolled in undergraduate and certificate programs are predatory, exploitative and oppressive. At Kaplan's Pittsburgh school, to use just one example, an 18-month criminal justice certificate costs $30,000, while at Kaplan's Concord Law School (which lacks American Bar Association accreditation), a three-year law degree also costs $30,000. Why the same cost? The criminal justice program is targeted at low-income minority students (the subprime students), while the “law degree” is obviously aimed at more affluent college graduates (the “prime” students) who may be less dependent upon Title IV money. This tuition equivalence is suggestive.
Time and time again, Kaplan's sordid business practices reveal a parasitic predatory scheme that drives students farther into nondischargeable debt, denies these poor students the ability to obtain loans and grant monies to cover their basic living expenses, turns education into a simple “product” or commodity that is bought and sold on the private educational market, and leaves taxpayers with the cost of subsidizing for-profit Kaplan's CEO bonuses, buyouts, shareholders, profits and costs. It is a plan fueled by both private and public debt.
Kaplan has also been targeting veterans and GIs. The for-profit predator company is one of the top ten recipients of GI benefits: the amount they received went from $17 million in 2009 to $44 million in 2010, all while maintaining the highest GI dropout rate – 69 percent – among the top ten GI-attended schools.
As the company's business plan is based on “living off government funds,” the company has been busy recruiting more and more poor and disenfranchised students – Title IV-eligible students, GIs, veterans etcetera – to grow the company at double-digit rates per year (See: “Kaplan Quest for Profits at Taxpayer Expense Ensnares Veteran“). In this way, Kaplan socializes the costs of doing business and privatizes the profits.
Acquiring funding for education-related living expenses can be important for students with limited incomes. Tuition is one thing, but paying rent and buying food is a basic necessity for students. Living expenses, however, present a problem for Kaplan's for-profit extraction plans. Why? Simple: Kaplan wants to get their hands on all the money a student is eligible for. They don't care whether students need money for living expenses or whether they are homeless.
Note: Kaplan is not the only for-profit defrauding the government in regard to the 90/10 rule (See the Chronicle of Higher Education article by Goldie Blumenstyck). Readers can also see the author's article, “76 Percent of For-Profit College Students Attend Schools that are Wall Street Owned,” at Daily Censored.

The purpose of this study, part of a larger benchmarking study, is to seek to confirm benchmarks for best practices for teaching and learning in web-based courses. Six hundred thirty-one responses to two open-ended questions from a survey of nursing students in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs at five participating schools were analyzed to understand the student experience and confirm the predetermined benchmarks. Using qualitative description, responses were analyzed using content analysis precedures. Students provided rich descriptions of the study benchmarks such as use of technology, active learning, feedback, respect for diversity, interaction with faculty and peers, convenience, access, professionalism, preference for face-to-face interaction, connectedness, and orientation to technology use. The students also identified additional student support variables such as the need for information about the course, orientation to using technology, and the importance of learning resources that should be considered as additional benchmarks for best practices in web-based courses.

The group receiving traditional face-to-face teaching on ultrasound-guided vascular access, performed significantly better than those not receiving education” Lian et al (2017).
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasound is recommended to guide insertion of peripheral intravenous vascular cannulae (PIVC) where difficulty is experienced. Ultrasound machines are now common-place and junior doctors are often expected to be able to use them. The educational standards for this skill are highly varied, ranging from no education, to self-guided internet-based education, to formal, face-to-face traditional education. In an attempt to decide which educational technique our institution should introduce, a small pilot trial comparing educational techniques was designed.
METHODS: Thirty medical students were enrolled and allocated to one of three groups. PIVC placing ability was then observed, tested and graded on vascular access phantoms.
RESULTS: The formal, face-to-face traditional education was rated best by the students, and had the highest success rate in PIVC placement, the improvement statistically significant compared to no education (p = 0.01) and trending towards significance when compared to self-directed internet-based education (p<0.06).
CONCLUSIONS: The group receiving traditional face-to-face teaching on ultrasound-guided vascular access, performed significantly better than those not receiving education. As the number of ultrasound machines in clinical areas increases, it is important that education programs to support their safe and appropriate use are developed.

Nvidia today announced plans to open an AI research facility in Toronto to further explore novel approaches to deep learning. The team will be led by NAI faculty member, deep learning and computer vision expert and University of Toronto assistant professor Sanja Fidler.
The lab will operate out of Nvidia’s Toronto office, which will double its current headcount of 50 employees in order to triple the number of AI and deep learning researchers working there by the end of the year, according to a Nvidia blog post published today. Though hiring is underway, Nvidia does not anticipate opening the research lab until August, a company spokesperson told VentureBeat in an email.

I always liked platypus, they are an amazing animal, so somehow I wanted to reference them in the name in the company.
But it is not called Platy soft, but Platty… because it is a tech company and tty is a very geeky way to interact with computers.
If you wish, imagine a platypus configuring a Linux system using command line, well, that’s the idea.

Mission La Soledad. Courtesy of Santa Barbara Mission Archive-Library.
Mission Soledad founded in 1791 by Father Lasuén, was built to assist the other missions of northern California. The Spanish word Soledad, means solitude or loneliness. Built in the sparsely populated area of central California, the feeling of isolation is evident, but founder Father Lasuén didn’t name the mission after its surroundings, rather to glorify Our Lady of Solitude, one of the sacred names for the Virgin Mary.
Speculation abounds as to whether its number thirteen in the chain is related to the bad luck it has experienced. Massive floods from the Salinas River ravaged the mission many times. These grounds, still scattered with the ruins of the mission’s adobe walls that once stretched the entire complex, are a constant reminder of how difficult life must have been at this remote and desolate mission.
The church, originally located at the east end of the padres quarters was destroyed by floods in 1828. Rebuilt in 1832, this quite simple chapel depicts the religious tone surrounding Mission Soledad. Although a replica bell now occupies the wooden beam to the left of the church entrance, the original mission bell can be found inside the museum.
Like all missions, the fourteen stations of the cross adorn the walls of the mission church. Each church has a different version of the fourteen stations, or the journey of Jesus to Golgotha where he was crucified. These fourteen religious symbols are rare originals.
After the flood of 1828, the mission was hit by an epidemic which killed off many of the Indians. Then, Father Vicente Francisco de Sarría died causing many Indians to leave in hopes of finding a better life elsewhere.
Secularization was particularly hard on Mission Soledad, with the property serving as a ranch house, a grocery store and then a restaurant, eventually sitting abandoned for almost one hundred years until it was sold in 1946 for a mere eight hundred dollars. Eventually, the land was returned to the Catholic Church and a restoration effort began with the help of the Native Daughters of The Golden West. The group restored the small chapel and the covento wing, which now serves as the mission museum.
Mission Soledad; small in size, but still a well maintained part of California history.
Like all missions, the 14 Stations of the Cross adorn the walls.

You are here: Home / Easy Appetizer / Stuffed jalapenos!
My hubby just loves stuffed jalapeños. I thought I would share how we make them. Easy and Yummy!
2. I use gloves because the juice from the peppers will irritate your skin something fierce. Slice the pepper down the middle careful not to go all the way through the stem. You want to basically half the pepper.
3. Using a teaspoon, scrape the insides out. If you want a hotter pepper, keep the membrane but I try to scrape it out because my tongue likes to keep its skin.
4. Stuff the pepper with a slab of cream cheese.
6. Either grill or bake on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven until bacon is done.
Can you say – oh baby????
We have done stuff to the cream cheese such as adding corn, spices and other ingredients but for simplistic reasons we always come back to just plain cream cheese. Hey, if you want to do that – I’ll never give you a bad grade.
This folks – Works for Me!
Participating Balance, Beauty and Bedlam.
Oh my goodness…these look so good…and surprisingly simple!! I have got to try these. Can’t wait to check out the other recipes…and get to know you through our Stumble group.
oh. my. gosh. those look good! I love jalopeno poppers and these probably have 1/2 the calories!
I’m going to try this one. I like heat, cream cheese and bacon!
OMG that looks soooo tasty. I have printed out the recipie and I am going to make them for my M-I-L’s retirment party tomorrow!
My mouth is watering! They look so good!
Oh MY! We love spicy foods in our family and this looks delicious! I must try!
By the way, your photography is really great!
You should snail-mail me one! YUMMY! Thanks for sharing on DIY DAY!
Just took a poll. Family is now demanding this dish. Great easy recipe!
I’ve never tried to make these, thanks for sharing your recipe!
Yummy, yummy! You can never go wrong with stuffed jalapenos!!! My favorite.
I am a big fan of stuffed peppers and those look delicious!!
This looks yummy. It might be too spicy for me, but my husband would like it. The great thing about this is that I could make as many or as few as I want. Making just a few for him would be a snap! Great tip!!
My husband would LOVE these. I bookmarked it just incase I actually ever find fresh jalepenos here!
Those look good! Can you do those on the grill?
YUM, want some now! I’m gonna give these a try.
And He does! Thank you!

When you’ve got something to do but your heart’s not in it.
You might have to do something for soneone else, or have a difficult conversation, or take the bins out and it’s pouring down with rain and not letting up.
Or do your tax return, finish that project, write that essay.
It doesn’t matter what, if you don’t have the heart it’s always more difficult to do the thing.
So how can you find the connection to your heart and get your motivation working for you?
Well, I find that if you stop stalling, stop procrastinating and take action, almost any action, to do the thing you don’t want to, and then take another tiny bit of action, then another and another, you will either have completed the task or have started to get swept up with it.
Now, sometimes your first action(s) are actually research or preparatory actions. You’ve been avoiding doing the task because you just don’t know how to do it perhaps. This is a clue! If you don’t know how to do it, what do you need to find out? THAT is your first action! Once you have gathered more information, you can make a considered decision as to what your next action is – much easier than trying to plunge into doing something you’re not actually ready to do.
So, when you find that you’re not motivated to do what you need to do, take a pause. Ask yourself WHY you’re not getting on with “it.” Ask yourself WHAT needs to happen to give you the motivation or confidence to at least make a start om the task. Finally, get clear on HOW you’re going to do the first (or next) two or three steps and then take action.
You’ll find the connection with your heart, your motivation will soar and the task will get done.
If you like this post, please pin it to your inspirational Pinterest board.

Guarantees in life are hard to come by. When it comes to investing, they can be even harder. That’s why share certificates are particularly attractive to those searching for a low-risk investment option with a guaranteed return.
A share certificate is like a certificate of deposit or CD, except share certificates are issued by credit unions. The benefits of a share certificate investment are fixed rates and defined terms. Essentially, you know exactly what you’re going to get for your investment. Share certificates are commonly issued for one- to five-year terms, and rates are usually fixed.
With several options offering a low minimum balance requirement, share certificates fit a wide variety of budgets and are extremely accessible entries into the investment world. With as little as $1,000, even the most novice of investors could open a share certificate and choose from a range of competitive rates and terms.
Term lengths vary from provider to provider, but most share certificate terms are one- to five-year commitments. Typically, the longer the investment term the higher the yield. Unlike a savings account, accessibility to the funds is limited and in most cases, there are fees for early withdrawals. The rewards for your commitment to the investment are better rates and guaranteed returns.
Whether you’re new to investing or simply searching for a guaranteed return, the reliability of a share certificate delivers.
Share certificates are an ideal option for those seeking investments with little or no risk. Whether you’re new to investing or simply searching for a guaranteed return, the reliability of a share certificate delivers. Fixed rates and defined terms mean you know exactly the dividends you stand to earn.
Many investment scenarios are market driven. If you put money into an account with variable rates that are influenced by the market, your return on investment is constantly changing. The benefit of an investment with a guaranteed return is the elimination of the unknown, which allows you to plan for the future more accurately. With dividends defined, you can plan your next investment move with the funds that you know will greet you on the other end of the share certificate term.
You pack your lunch every day, skip the coffee shop latte, and pay with cash to avoid overspending. Congratulations! You’re a saver.
What does retirement look like to you? What you need to consider more than where you’re going to be is how you’re going to get there.
If you have surplus funds and you’re looking for ways to get more bang for your buck, consider a money market account.
Savings accounts are a good option if you need constant access to the funds. However, if you have enough money saved that you can comfortably invest some and leave it untouched for one to five years, share certificates make a lot of sense.
Have questions about share certificates? Want to discuss the terms and rates in detail, or review additional investment scenarios? Face-to-face conversations with local credit union experts provide real value, especially to those who are unfamiliar with investing or share certificates.
Defined terms and guaranteed rates: there aren’t many investment options that offer that kind of stability. Share certificates provide a stress-free investment scenario. If you’re prepared to make an investment beyond your typical savings account, Member One’s personal banking experts are ready to help.

It’s yoga every damn day… still, says We Heart Living writer Bethan Taylor.
Three months into my project to do yoga every damn day and I’ve started to notice some themes. The first is that I’m actually pretty bad at hitting the mat every single day. But almost without realising it, I do breathing exercises without fail. The second is that when I talk about why I do yoga, I talk about how I feel worn down, lacking energy and generally a bit sore at life. It’s the second point I should’ve been paying attention to, because if I had I would’ve realised all was not right.
You’d expect that with more yoga sessions, the lethargy, moods and tricky feelings that had plagued me would be lifted, but in reality little changed, I was still low, overwhelmed and nowhere near as calm as I would’ve liked. In retrospect, yoga was taking the edge off a pretty steady downwards spiral into increasing anxiety. I was finding life more and more difficult, culminating in an almighty crash. It was all pretty awful. The good news is that I am now getting the help I need, and I am hopeful about the future – after all, when you hit a low you can only look up.
I started all of this because I thought it would lift me out of a dark patch. I thought I wouldn’t have to address the problems underneath. I was kidding myself. For me yoga is no cure all.
So, what does anxiety mean for my yoga practice? Well I am more realistic that for me yoga can’t solve everything when life gets difficult, however I do think it can still help me. According to Harvard Medical School, yoga can help tame the stress response, which in turn decreases the physical symptoms of anxiety and stress. For example helping to bring down your heart rate and slow your breathing during a panic attack. There are also suggestions that yoga can help improve mood. Although there are questions about how exactly this works, participants in a German study reported improvements in perceived stress, depression and anxiety following regular yoga practice over a number of months.
I’ve mentioned breathing already, but it really has been the biggest take away for me. Taking a moment to take deep breaths, filling up my lungs and helping make sure my blood is full of oxygen, can help relieve a tense moment. It gives you time to breath, shift your focus and consider if you really want to pick a fight just because you feel vulnerable. Again, it’s not a cure all, but can help calm the nasty symptoms of anxiety, which are half the problem.
Something I have noticed is that I’m getting better at reflecting on situations, which I credit to regular meditation. While I still struggle to respond rationally during stressful moments, I do find that I am able to recover more quickly and I’m not ruminating for days afterwards. Being able to make sense of your feelings, even retrospectively, is so important if you want to move on from something like this for good.
I’m only at the start of my journey, but I am hopeful that by continuing to cultivate my practice, I can complement all the other things I’m doing to overcome my anxiety.

The sociology of emotion refers to the theories that attempt to explain the relationship between social roles or norms and emotions. These theories include Kemper Theory, Affect Control Theory and the Hochschild Theory.
According to David Kemper, emotions are results of the changes in the interpersonal events concerning people’s status and power. For instance, person A does not have any love-related emotions towards person B. However, upon knowing that person B is a rich CEO of a department store, person A starts to develop love-related emotions towards him. This theory states that different emotions emerge as the changes in one’s own status or power and another person’s status or power continuously occur.
Originally proposed by David R. Heise, Affect Control Theory views emotions as transient, subjective and physical states that are based on the present impression of a person facing an emotion-evoking event. This means that emotions serve as “observable signals” to other people regarding the emoting person’s recognition of the event, while they act as “visceral signal” to one’s self. The theory states that social agents design social actions in such a way that they make impressions that are suiting for the sentiments that are dominant in an event.
The Affect Control Theory states that an impression-formation process precedes the emergence of an emotion. For instance, the antagonist kidnaps an innocent child in a drama. The viewer will have a negative impression of the antagonist, which generates emotions of anger (or any other negative emotion) towards the character.
Proposed by Arlie Hocschild, the Hocschild Theory states that the production of displays deemed as acceptable by a society influences the manner by which people manage their emotions and feelings. The standards of one’s cultures and societal ideologies affect how he expresses his emotions and how he attempts to regulate them. In her study involving flight attendants and their emotional labor, she found out that the flight attendants end up with exhibiting insincere, superficial smiles because of the speedy contact between flight attendants and their passengers. The Hochschild Theory was further enhances by Peggy Thoits, who proposed that drugs can also be used by people to manage their emotions. Thoits also noted that other techniques by which a person can direct his emotions include cognitive reclassification of feelings and intentional exhibition of faux facial expressions, gestures and vocal expressions.
The sociology of emotions has been applied to various workplace relationships and interactions. Following the study of Hochschild on flight attendants, other scholars that supported the theory such as Robin Leidner and Jennifer Pierce have examined the display of emotions and what influences them in fastfood restaurants, law firms, and many others. On the other hand, the Kemper Theory has been applied to a series of studies on ethnic minorities. Meanwhile, the Affect Control Theory has been put to application in research studies that focused on the relationships between emotions, gender, politics, social structure and the like.

The Gambia is rare among the world’s developing countries in proposing an ambitious conditional target that would bend its emissions onto a downward trajectory. The unconditional target is also amongst the most ambitious: the CAT rates this commitment “1.5°C Paris Agreement compatible,” one of only two such ratings of the 32 countries we assess.
In 2017, The Gambia published the first volume of their Strategic Programme for Climate Resilience (SPCR), which summarises its strategy to integrate climate change into policy planning and action.
The Gambia's Paris Agreement target aims to unconditionally reduce emissions by 2.7% by 2030 below business-as-usual (BAU) and, conditional on international financial support, aims for a target of 45.4% reduction by 2030. One of the pillars of The Gambia’s strategy to achieve these reductions is the uptake of renewable energy technologies. After a slow start, this goal is now well on its way with, in May 2018, the first large-scale solar PV project in the Greater Banjul area receiving construction finance from the World Bank.
The Nationally Determined Contribution submitted under the Paris Agreement also includes abatement in the LULUCF and agriculture sectors. The Gambia plans to undertake considerable abatement through afforestation with targets for 2025 and 2030. In 2018, it launched a large project to restore 10,000 hectares of forests, mangroves, and savannas. It will also replace flooded rice paddies with dry upland rice fields, and promote adoption of efficient cook stoves to reduce the overuse of forest resources, conditional on international support.
The CAT rates (I)NDCs only on unconditional targets excl. LULUCF, and rates The Gambia’s 2025 unconditional NDC commitment “1.5°C Paris Agreement compatible,” indicating that The Gambia’s NDC is consistent with holding warming well below 2°C, and limiting warming to 1.5°C. The Gambia’s commitment does not require other countries to make comparably deeper reductions or greater effort and is in the most stringent part of its Fair Share range. If the CAT were to rate the NDC based on The Gambia’s indicated 2030 emission reduction projections, we would also rate it “1.5°C Paris Agreement compatible”.
The government has recognised that the transition to an affordable sustainable energy system is a critical milestone for the country’s socio-economic development as dependence on imported fuel oil has become a burden on the Gambian economy (IRENA 2013). To ignite this transition, in 2013 The Gambian government enacted the New Renewable Energy law to implement a feed-in tariff for renewable energy sources, and to establish a renewable energy fund to promote the use of such sources (Government of The Gambia 2013). Due to a lack of recent information, there is some uncertainty about the current implementation status of this legislation (REN21 2017).
To meet its conditional target and give confidence to international investors, the Gambian government announced, in its Sustainable Energy Action Plan (Government of The Gambia, 2015), specific renewable energy and energy efficiency targets for 2020 and 2030, and declared the measures it would deploy to reach those targets. Since these measures will be implemented only if The Gambia receives enough international funds and technical support and there is no sign of such investment, we do not include them in the current policy projections yet. Nevertheless, these measures set the stage for a potentially rapid implementation of its conditional NDC provided that international financial resources are mobilised.

Hounslow is home to a diverse community. Our aim is for all communities to be healthy, prosperous and happy. Our communities and services are assets that support both the health and wellbeing of our residents. However, there are factors such as social isolation, loneliness, financial stress, fear of losing safe accommodation, bullying, family separation and physical and mental illness that can make some of our residents vulnerable to self-harm and/or suicide.
In 2017, Hounslow Council and its partners formed a multi-stakeholder advisory group which was tasked with developing a strategy and an action plan aiming to increase the resilience of the general population and improve support for those who may become vulnerable and ultimately to prevent suicide.
This led to the development of the draft strategy ‘Preventing suicide in Hounslow: a strategy to save lives 2019-2022’ (see link below).
Written in partnership, the strategy will be delivered in collaboration with the Metropolitan Police, education, fire service, Department for Work and Pensions, health services as well as the internal departments of the council, namely housing, social care, regeneration and economic development. The strategy is based around seven key areas, identified as both local and national priorities.
We would like to consult with you to ask if the strategy and the seven priorities within it, are the right ones for us to deliver our aims of reducing suicide and self-harm in Hounslow.
If you would like a paper copy of the questionnaire or the strategy, then please contact us with your mailing address to send it to and indicate which format you would prefer it to be sent in (please specify if large font or ‘Easy Read’ is required).
The responses to the consultation post the end date will be reviewed at a multi agency meeting of key stakeholders. The findings and resulting recommendations of this group will be presented at the Health and Wellbeing Board in July 2019. The Board will then make the final approval of the Suicide Prevention Strategy. A proposal will also be taken to the Board to establish a Suicide Prevention Strategy Steering Group, which will support and monitor progress on the strategy. The Steering Group will be in place for the entire period of the Strategy, from 2019 until 2022.
If you are worried about the immediate safety of yourself or someone you know, go to Accident & Emergency (A&E) or call 999 for emergency services.

Once I had built a test suite of smoke tests, unit tests and spot tests, the amount of work I had to do became insignificant. After a release my testing would be complete in a couple of hours. This left a lot of time for me to just play with the capabilities of the plugins. My tests looked less and less like tests and more and more like applications. After leaving Adobe I was contacted by the advertising department who asked me to develop some of these test suites into demos as well as build new demos from scratch. A number of these demos were featured on the Adobe SVG site.
Ultimately Adobe ramped down their SVG evangelism, due to their acquisition of Macromedia and they have ceased to support their SVG browser plugin.

One of the most fascinating things about God’s Word is it’s alive! Hebrews 4:12 says the, Word of God is living and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and morrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart.
“While Sue and I were in Israel we spoke with Jews from at least 19 countries. The Jews are returning to Israel.Today Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited the Jews of Europe to move to Israel due to rising anti-Semitism. Is this the method God will use to re-gather the Jews as described in the Bible?
What an exciting time! And the only response to this is Praise! God’s Word calls this - “High Time” Romans 13:11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.
Let me give you a few things you can do today.
1- Be a great Witness for others to see Jesus living inside of you. It’s time for Christians to awaken because something awesome is happening among us!
2. Pray! Joel 2:12,13 says to pray for a great return to God with a Spirit of brokenness, fasting, weeping and mourning.
Let’s stay awake, be a great witness and pray for God’s amazing Spirit to come down! Let’s pray and experience a great revival in the homes and peoples lives across our world, nation and the cities in Greater Austin.
Father, You are Lord of all the earth and I want to shout your name so it can fill the skies with an endless praise! Let my life be a great witness for you today so this world might see Jesus. We want to experience a great revival while Your Word comes to pass in our very sight. In the wonderful and beautiful name of Jesus I pray, amen.

Our military gun has over a dozen pieces used in coastal defence spanning over 300 years of warfare, as well as a recreation of the Battery Observation Posts which would have targeted the guns on Spike Island.
The cannon on display in our Gun Park is one of Spike Island’s oldest artillery pieces. The crest of King George III on the barrel dates it to the late 1700’s. Designed as a naval gun and also seeing service as a coastal gun, this role is revealed by the presence of a breeching ring at the rear of the gun, through which a strong rope was passed and fixed to either side of the gun port opening to control recoil when the gun rolled back upon firing. This is one of three such guns on Spike Island. They were used as bollards on the pier and were removed in circa 1999, restored and mounted for display.
The 7” RML on display represents the progression of artillery technology, with the introduction of rifling grooves cut into the barrel to impart spin and stability to the shell while in flight. Dating from 1865, three of these massive 7” guns were mounted on Spike Island, one on each of the three bastions facing Cobh. The introduction of breech loaded guns rendered them obsolete.
Originally designed as a shipboard naval weapon, the 12 Pounder also saw service from 1894 as a coastal defence gun, batteries being positioned in Forts Carlisle (Davis) and Camden (Meagher), providing protection against torpedo boats and covering the Cork Harbour minefield. The thickly armoured shield provided protection for the crew operating in open gun emplacements. A battery of four QF 12 Pounder guns now form Cork Harbour’s ceremonial saluting battery on Number 3 Bastion.
Made by the Elswick Ordnance Company of England, 4.7 “ guns were based on Bere Island, West Cork and Fort Dunree in County Donegal. Our gun dates from 1910, one of only four deployed on Irish forts and one of only two known surviving examples in Ireland. This rare gun has been the subject of an extensive restoration project and must be among the best preserved examples of its type, drawing the admiration of the general visiting public and artillery enthusiasts alike.
Three searchlights were operational on the south side of Spike Island, and along with the other searchlights around the harbour could illuminate targets up to 3650m distant, for both observation and night time engagement by the guns.
Built in 1938, this vehicle served with the Irish Army from 1940 to 1970. Weighing 7.7 tons and with a 6 litre engine, the vehicle provided repair and maintenance in the field, being fitted with a lathe, drills, grinders and a generator. Stored for many years in Collins Barracks Cork, in 2016 this rare vehicle went on display in our gun park.
Bofors anti–aircraft guns have been in Irish Army service since 1939, a number being based on Spike Island during the ‘Emergency’, 1939 to 1946. First developed in Sweden, the L60 proved a versatile weapon, used by many nations on land, at sea and even in the air. When the Cork Harbour Coastal Defence unit was re-rolled in 1979, Bofors guns became the main armament of the Spike Island based 4th Air Defence Battery. The L60 in our Gun Park was located on Spike Island between 1980 and 1985.
Our Flycatcher unit and L70 gun represent post war advances in air defence technology. With the advent of jet aircraft, the L70 was developed as an improved and advanced version of the older L60 gun. The Flycatcher radar was a self – contained all weather unit and could track multiple aerial target s and provide data for the battery of L70 guns under its control. The L70 gun saw service with the Irish Defence Forces until 2011.
The 18 Pounder served with the Irish Army in a number of variants, the first ones seeing action during the Irish Civil War 1922 to 1923. Later models such as the one on display in our Gun Park were modernised with steel wheels replacing spoked ones, enabling the gun to be towed behind motorised vehicles. The 18 Pounder continued in Irish Army Reserve until 1974.
The 25 Pounder on display in our Gun Park is a Canadian built example of this famous gun, seeing active service in World War Two. Rugged, durable and versatile, the 25 Pounder entered Irish Army service in 1949 and for the next 60 years successive generations of gunners developed a great affinity with this long serving gun. With a crew of six, the 25 Pounder could fire direct and high angle engagements, combining previous roles of gun and howitzer weapons.
Developed in World War Two to counter new and heavily armoured German tanks, the 17 Pounder proved a battlefield success, variants serving both as a towed artillery piece and a tank mounted main gun on allied tanks such as the Sherman Firefly. The only Allied tank capable of defeating the feared German Tiger and Panthers tanks during the battle for Normandy. The 17 Pounder could also be flown into battle by heavy glider. The Irish Army used the 17 Pounder from 1949 to 1962.
The Naval L60 on display saw use with the Irish Naval Service. L60 naval guns first served on minesweepers bought from the UK in the early 1970’s and later on the newer Irish built generation of patrol vessels. Crewed by three, the naval L60 could operate manually or be powered hydraulically. Our example was donated to Fortress Spike Island’s display following the decommissioning of one of our veteran patrol vessels, powered unmanned gun turrets now fulfilling the role of main ships armament.
The 6 inch guns entered British service at the start of the 20th Century and saw use in naval, coastal and land artillery roles. Three of these guns were located on Spike Island from circa 1902. Two mounted operationally in open emplacements on Number 3 Bastion and the third for training purposes in the Drill Shed. In 1938, the Irish Army’s Coastal Defence Artillery took over Spike Island’s 6” guns. In 1943 the two guns were relocated to their present underground emplacements under Numbers 2 and 4 Bastions. Spike Island’s 6” guns were manned continuously throughout the ‘Emergency’ period.

Farouk Shami is a Palestinian-born businessman from Houston. He is the founder and chairman of Farouk Systems, Inc., a $1 billion corporation known for it's BioSilk and CHI hair care product lines.
"Mayor White has major stake in Barnett Shale production company."
"My opponent... lost 43,000 jobs in Houston since he took over; we are losing jobs."
"We have killed lots of innocent people in the state of Texas."
"When we go to vote, they ask for driver's license and verify that you are a voter and a citizen in the state of Texas."
Houston is "the third-most toxic city in the United States of America."
Light the candles. We're five years old.
Perry’s fresh pitch-and-woo for businesses to move to Texas touches on established claims about jobs and people heading our way.
The Truth-O-Meter rated the claims Mostly True to False.
A quarter century ago, legislative hopeful Rick Perry of Haskell filed paperwork with the state indicating he was worth about $13,000. By 2009, we figure, Gov. Perry was worth a little more than $1 million. That is, his net worth increased 77-fold in 24 years.
Why care? Well, how politicians make money is often an attack point — sometimes clear-cut enough for the Truth-O-Meter.
An $18 billion budget shortfall plus $1.7 billion in operating losses plus 850,000 jobs adds up to fodder for the Truth-O-Meter.

So, what I want to do with scripting is to show a warning-text that shows there are new objectives, and press "O" to see the hudimage. I want the warning-text to disappear when press "O". I have tried hudtext and fpgcrawtext but nothing seems to work? Can You help??
post a solution there this eve. It shouldn't be too hard.
One question though, do you want the "O" key to toggle the image repeatedly or just once?

Patients with first-onset psychosis wait less time for treatment if they visit emergency clinics staffed by specialist psychiatric teams than their counterparts who access healthcare in community settings, report researchers.
The findings emerge from a study of 480 inner-city dwelling individuals with any psychotic syndrome and indicate that after emergency clinics with specialist psychiatric staff, patients whose first encounters were at general practices, psychiatric services or accident and emergency rooms in general hospitals had the shortest duration of untreated psychosis (DUP).
Conversely, the DUP was longest for patients whose first encounters were with health visitors and social workers, and the criminal justice system (CJS).
“Those working in these settings should be encouraged to initiate prompt referral to emergency rooms in general hospitals or general practice and then to psychiatric services”, write Kamaldeep Bhui (Queen Mary University of London, UK) and co-authors in BMC Psychiatry.

Text Globe Trotters dazzle arena cro The ever-popular Harlem Globe Trotters spoofed their way to yet another victory at the Sioux Falls Arena Wednesday night. The Trotter's antics claimed a 75-68 victory over the Washington Generals. Kristin Hasche Jeanne White Augustana College Sioux Falls, S. D. 1R IR February 21, 1991 Vol. 75 No. 15 Students prepare for Peace Prize Forum by Kala Paulsen MIRROR Reporter Almost 100 members of the Augustana community are preparing for this year's Peace Prize Forum. The Forum, entitled "Striving for. Peace: Leadership in Peacemaking," will be held at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, on Feb. 22 and 23. This year Costa Rican President Oscar Ariaz, who received the prize in 1987 for his peace-plan for Latin America, and Betty Williams, who won the prize in 1977 for her work in Ireland, will both be present to discuss their prizes at the forum. A faculty committee is responsible for organizing preparation activities at Augustana. And, this year, a group of students has also been actively involved in preparing activities and leading meetings. According to Birgit Brokenleg, faculty member of the Peace Forum Committee, the active student participation has worked very well. "Both because there is some enthusiasts among the students and because several of the students have been at forums before and are well informed," she said. This year's preparations for the forum have consisted of a one-act play, a video, and a simulation in addition to the weekly brown-bag lunches. There will be a wrap-up session after the forum, since participants have wanted to continue meeting together. Michael Rezler, student committee member, has attended past forums and has helped to lead this year's preparational meetings. He spoke highly of the forum and said, "The forum is a wonderful opportunity to hear national and international speakers on peace issues." The outbreak of war in the Persian Gulf and the violence in the Baltic States have impacted the Peace Prize Forum meetings. Discussion began around the possibility of creating a peaceful world and participants have had the opportunity to share their feelings and questions about the war. AIDS victim's mother speaks on campus by Jennifer Gerrietts MIRROR Reporter If Ryan White was still alive, his mother, Jeanne, would proudly attend his graduation at Hamilton Heights High School this spring. Instead, Jeanne White now speaks of the pain and joy of having a son with AIDS and the necessity of treating AIDS patients with humanity. White spoke at Augustana, Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium and at the Wednesday morning chapel service. Large crowds came to hear her at both locations. "I'm not a professional speaker, just a mom," White said. "All I can do is speak from my heart and my experience so that no one else has to go through this. " Tuesday night, White began her talk with a video made by an Indiana musical group about Ryan's life. Next she read an autobiographical speech that her son gave to the National Education Association and the Presidential AIDS Commission, before she began her own . address. Ryan White was diagnosed with hemophilia when he was three days old. Factor-8, a blood clotting agent and a drug just licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, was the miracle drug that allowed Ryan to live. On Dec. 17, 1984, at the age o f 13, doctors discovered Ryan had AIDS. The Factor-8 that was treating his hemophilia had carried the AIDS virus. "The miracle drug that let him live a normal life also took his life," said White. Ryan was given six months to live, but he lived five and a half full years before his death April 7, 1990. At the time Ryan was diagnosed, less than one percent of hemophiliacs were known to have AIDS. Public misunderstanding about the disease caused parents in his hometown of Kokomo, Ind., to try to block his return to school. White explained that school was important to Ryan because his hemophilia had kept him from participating in sports. Despite extreme community pressure, the Whites began a legal battle to allow Ryan to attend classes. "The only thing Ryan had asked for in his life was to goback to school," said White. Their nine months of legal battles soon thrust the family into national media. Ryan became a national symbol. "He humanized AIDS with his innocence, forgiveness and dignity in facing the disease," White said. Kokomo was an unpleasant place to live even after winning the case that allowed Ryan to go back to school. The abuse continued to the point of having a bullet shot through the White's picture window. The advance money they received from the television movie, "The Ryan White Story," allowed the Whites to move to Cicero, Ind., where the family was welcomed. According to White, the difference is education. She said that the community and school of Cicero gave the people information, which caused them to react rationally. "When AIDS affects people, it scares them. In Kokomo, people just had a problem with it. Cicero had time to prepare themselves," said White. She stressed the importance children speaking about AIDS with parents. "Its puts so much stress on families that kids should know about it. We need to teach kids about AIDS so that its not a dirty word, but a disease," said White. She went on to say that Ryan was anxious to get involved with educating young people. "When he was healthy he liked to help other kids, they listened. Adults often just don't want to be faced with it." As difficult as dealing with Ryan's death is, White said she is proud of her son. "He accomplished something that was important to him, and because of that he'll be remembered," White said. White will be going on tour next month to promoteRyan White: My Own Story, a book written by Ryan in the last year of his life. It will be in bookstores March 15, and is an autobiography.

The descriptor "idiopathic" provides ample evidence that risk factors or prevention strategies for developing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) are limited. There are many causes for scoliosis but fully 80% are classified as idiopathic (1). Investigation in this area is developing and several possible causative factors are currently being discussed in the literature. Among these, to name a few, are genetic influences (2), hormonal changes (3), age of mother at birth (4), platelets, connective tissue disorders, musculature disorders and dysfunction of the posture controlling system (5). Considering the lack of information relating to etiology, of greater clinical importance to the physician and patient is to identify risk factors which may lead to progression of the scoliotic curve. Significant advances have been published which allow the doctor to identify those patients who are in danger of progression, thereby avoiding unnecessary treatment in some and initiation of necessary treatment in others. The natural history of scoliosis reveals few scoliosis patients actually require treatment. In a 10-year follow-up study of 2700 students Karachalios et al found curves of less than 10° increased in 35.8% patients with an average increase of 8°. Surprisingly 14.9% of patients experienced decreased Cobb?s angle. None of these patients required treatment. In those with curves between 10° and 20°, 48.3% progressed between 5° and 14°. Overall 0.15% of the curvatures required bracing and 0.03% required surgery (6). These findings are similar to those found in other studies (7;8).
For the purpose of this paper only risk factors for progression will be discussed.

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium heat (180°C to 230°C) with a Weber frying pan or hotplate.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, mixed spice, bicarbonate of soda and sugar. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients , add the milk mixture and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
Once the barbecue is preheated, carefully place metal cookie cutters in the frying pan or on the hotplate, leaving a gap between each cookie cutter. Spray the cookie cutters and hotplate/frying pan with cooking spray to grease.
Open the lid, flip the pancakes (still in the cookie cutters) , continue to cook for a futher minute.

Hello all,does anyone have or know the best way to clean a motorcycle armor jacket.I know not to put it into a washing machine an all but...Looking for like a good cleaning agent an some good steps.
Like how long an wat about the padding underneath the plastic outer shell.I've only had it maybe one riding season an would try an keep it clean but wanna wash it now.
Textiles, I wash. Usually by hand in my deep kitchen sink. Take all the armor out, of course. Separate any liners.
I occasionally wash them on the gentle cycle in the machine, every 2-3 years.
The armor I'd only hand wash and air dry. Same thing with helmet liners. Shampoo works really well for that.
Leather, I use a damp cloth and wipe off. Stubborn dirt, a wet paper towel and a few drops of dish soap will be my first attempt. The least aggressive cleaner that will do the job.

Biotin uptake by human proximal tubular epithelial cells: cellular and molecular aspects.
Balamurugan K1, Vaziri ND, Said HM.
VA Medical Center-151, Long Beach, CA 90822, USA.
Cellular and molecular regulation of renal biotin uptake in humans is not well defined. The contribution of the human Na(+)-dependent multivitamin transporter (hSMVT) to carrier-mediated biotin uptake by human proximal tubular epithelial cells is not clear. The aim of this study was to address these issues, with the human-derived proximal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells used as a model. First, we characterized the mechanism of biotin uptake by these cells and obtained evidence for involvement of an Na(+)-, temperature-, and energy-dependent carrier-mediated uptake system. This system was inhibited by the biotin structural analog desthiobiotin, pantothenic acid, and lipoate. These findings suggest involvement of the hSMVT system in the uptake process. This was confirmed by demonstrating that the hSMVT system is expressed in HK-2 cells at the protein and mRNA levels and by selective silencing of the hSMVT gene with the use of gene-specific small interfering RNAs, which led to specific and significant inhibition of carrier-mediated biotin uptake. Of the two recently cloned promoters of the hSMVT gene, promoter 1 was more active than promoter 2 in these cells. Pretreatment of HK-2 cells with modulators of PKC- and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-mediated pathways (but not those that modulate PKA-, protein tyrosine kinase-, or nitric oxide-mediated pathways) led to significant alterations in biotin uptake. Maintaining the HK-2 cells in a biotin-deficient growth medium led to a marked upregulation in biotin transport, which was associated with an increase in hSMVT protein and RNA levels and an increase in activity of the hSMVT promoters. These results demonstrate that biotin uptake by human renal epithelial cells occurs via the hSMVT system and that the process is regulated by intracellular PKC- and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-mediated pathways. The uptake process appears to be adaptively regulated by extracellular biotin level, which involves transcriptional regulatory mechanism(s).

With Cox Proportional Hazard Model, you can predict how particular type of subjects would survive as time goes by, based on the survival data from the past.
Input data should be a survival data. Each row should represent one observation (e.g. one user of a subscription service). It should have following columns.
Survival Time - A numeric column with survival time. Also called "time to event".
Survival Status - A boolean or binary numeric value (can take value of 1 or 0) column with survival status. When this column is true or 1, it means the event of interest happened to the subject at the end of survival time. If it is false or 0, it means we know that the event had not happened to the subject at least until the end of the survival time, but we don't know what happened to the subject after that point.
Click "+" button and mouse over "Build Model ...", and select "Build Survival Model (Cox Regression)" submenu to open "Build Survival Model (Cox Regression)" dialog.
You can also select "Analytics" from column menu of the survival time column, and then select "Build Survival Model (Cox Regression) for" submenu to open "Build Survival Model (Cox Regression)" dialog.
After "Build Survival Model (Cox Regression)" dialog is opened, follow the steps below to build Survival Model.
Select survival time column with "Survival Time (Time to Event)" dropdown.
Select survival status column with "Survival Status (Event)" dropdown.
Select Predictor Columns in "Predictor" section.
If you want to include all the columns in the input data other than Survival Time Column and Survival Status Column, choose "All" radio button.
If you want to specify particular columns in the input data as predictors, choose "Select" radio button, and select columns from the column selector that appears in this section.
Split test data from traininig data In the "Data Split" section, you can split the data into training and test to evaluate the performance of the model later.
(Optional) Specify additional parameters in "Parameters" section.
After building Survival Model, following Model Summary shows up.
Number of Rows - Number of training data rows.
Number of Events - Number of events (deaths) that happened in the training survival data.
Likelihood Ratio Test - Test result number for how well the model fits the training data. The larger the better. See Reference.
Likelihood Ratio Test P Value - P value calculated from Likelihood Ratio Test result. Can be interpreted as possibility of the model being only as good as a model with no predictor (null model).
Score Test - Another test result number for how well the model fits the training data.
Wald Test - Another test result number for how well the model fits the training data.
Wald Test P Value - P value calculated from Wald Test result.
R Square - Pseudo R-squeared. See Reference.
R Square Max - Maximum for the pseudo R-squared. See Reference.
Concordance - How well the order of the survival times of the subjects in training data corresponds with order of the hazards of the subjects predicted by the model.
Std Error Concordance - Standard error of the concordance when it is viewed as a random variable.
Std Error - Standard error of "Estimates" when it is viewed as a random variable.
t Ratio - "Estimate" divided by "Std Error". Indicator of whether the estimate is statistically significantly different from zero.
P Value - Can be interpreted as the probability of the predictor being totally irrelevant.
Conf Low - Lower limit of confidence interval for "Estimate"
Conf High - Upper limit of confidence interval for "Estimate"
Hazard Ratio - If this predictor goes up by one unit mount, hazard of the event (death) in a unit time goes up by this ratio.

I'm pretty much in love with terrariums and mini ecosystems! They are lush, self-sufficient, and potentially aware of the outside world. One day I was dreaming about starting a terrarium farm and the reoccurring thought that I wish I could shrink down, small enough to fit inside and explore these mini worlds crept into Brain's conversation. And then Brain said space... space... space?! Space... travel... ecosystems... traveling through space! I'd love to float through the universe in space ecosystems! Why settle another planet when we could build our own!
Each pod is connected, by poly systems, to an inhabitable man-made sphere shaped. The hub acts as a core station that connects people to the pods... like an airport. The poly systems allow pods connected to the Hub to adjust distance from the Hub for climate control. The poly doubles as an elevator shaft as well. The Pod glass is very thick and polarized with an ability to reflect heat.
Tentacles on the underside of the pod are designed to collect minerals and gasses passing by or from nearby celestial bodies. They are also fitted with thrusters for smooth precision sailing through space. Most people live in community pods, but the wealthier people have their own custom pods that they like to take out into space as if they were sailing on the ocean.
:D Somebody run with this idea for REAL please! I'd really like to stop worrying about our planet dying... and the fact that we'll die if it does.
I'd love to see your take on a space ecosystem! Please feel free to link to your ecosystem concept in the comments!

Your three-digit credit score is a go-to indication of your trustworthiness that banks, credit card issuers, and car dealerships all use to help predict the likelihood of you repaying a loan.
But it's of little use to the company that wants to give you a job.
"That a potential employer can check your credit score is probably the most common myth out there when it comes to credit, and unfortunately, it's one of the most problematic," says John Ulzheimer, credit expert at CreditSesame.com. "In my 23-plus years in the credit industry, there has never been a verified example of this happening." In fact, he says, the three credit agencies have all gone on record saying that they don't supply a credit score to employers.
1. People are using "credit score" and "credit report" interchangeably. While your credit score is based on the contents of your credit report — which details your credit activity and history — they are not the same thing. As an illustration of their independence, consider the fact that while you can get your credit score for free at sites like Credit Sesame, you can't get your report. And while you can get your free report from each bureau once per year from annualcreditreport.com, you must pay for your score.
2. Employers can pull a credit report. But the credit report available to employers is not the same one that your lenders see. "When an employer checks your credit, it's called an 'employment screening,' and the credit bureaus have a separate product available for this purpose," explains Ulzheimer. "A lot of the data is the same, but not everything. For instance, your date of birth isn't on it. Plus, when an employer screens your report, not only does the inquiry have no effect at all on your credit score, but you, the consumer, are the only person able to see that it ever happened."
It's also worth noting, says Ulzheimer, that a potential employer isn't going to secretly check your credit behind your back. Unlike with the credit check that comes with applying for a mortgage or car loan, you must give explicit written permission for an employer to check your credit. And it's not as though it's your interviewer looking into your credit, he explains. "Normally the employer outsources the process to a third-party company, one that does things like verify your background and education."
The bottom line is that while employers can check your credit, they can't see your credit score, their inquiry doesn't affect it, and the credit report they can pull isn't the same one used to evaluate your trustworthiness as a borrower. While some states restrict the cases in which an employer can check your credit at all, "certain professions, like law enforcement or other government positions, should expect that credit checks are fair game," Ulzheimer says. "You should assume a report is going to be pulled."

(Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency must reconsider its denial of small West Virginia refinery Ergon’s application for an exemption from U.S. biofuel laws after it relied on an “error-riddled” analysis, an appeals court ruled on Friday.
The decision will likely bolster supporters of the EPA’s expansion of the small refinery waiver program under President Donald Trump, many of whom argue that President Barack Obama’s EPA had been too stingy with exemptions.
“We are pleased to see the 4th Circuit Court ruling which recognizes the significant and disproportionate hardship that RFS places on small refineries,” said Ergon-West Virginia Inc President Kris Patrick.
Former EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, who resigned earlier this month following a slew of ethics controversies, oversaw a surge in small refinery waivers.
The EPA put out data last week that said it granted 48 such waivers for the years 2016 and 2017, representing some 2.25 billion gallons of biofuels.
The EPA is required to consult with the Department of Energy on the applications. Under Pruitt, the EPA consistently ignored recommendations from the Energy Department to reject or limit waivers to oil refiners seeking exemptions from biofuels laws.
The panel of appellate judges ruled that the DOE’s analysis was flawed because it did not take into the account the regional market for biodiesel and also separated the plant’s lube oil production in part of application and included in other areas.
“Although the EPA is statutorily required to consider the DOE’s recommendation, it may not turn a blind eye to errors and omissions apparent on the face of the report, which Ergon pointed out and the EPA did not address in any meaningful way,” the judges wrote.
In a previous case, the 10th Circuit Court overturned the EPA’s denial of Sinclair Oil’s exemption applications last year, arguing the agency was using too narrow of a test when evaluating the applications. The EPA remedied the reversal by granting Sinclair 2018 compliance credits related to its 2014 and 2015 obligations.

Centennial Chromograph by Variable Project is an exercise to generate formal and spatial constructions with 100-years history quantities of data (information sampled from the Minnesota School of Architecture). This information, chronologically mapped and diagrammatically abstracted through superimposed curves, drives the installation’s overall form.
The installation consists of 100 robotically-routed plywood ribs, joined together with 8,080 colorful pencils. The curvature of the ribs expresses major historical eras and periods of the School, while the color of the pencils reflects the changing composition of the School’s degree programs over its first century. The chromatic logic allows one to read the evolution of the School’s degree programs through time.
The project was fabricated and assembled over a ten-day period, in collaboration with a team of University of Minnesota School of Architecture students.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who heads an informal group of ministers constituted to address labour issues, said the minimum wages for unskilled non-agricultural workers will be hiked to Rs 350 per day from the current Rs 246.
Seeking to dissuade labour unions from a nationwide strike on September 2, the government today announced 42 percent minimum wage hike and a two-year bonus, but the trade bodies rejected these measures as "completely inadequate" and stuck to their call.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who heads an informal group of ministers constituted to address labour issues, said the minimum wages for unskilled non-agricultural workers will be hiked to Rs 350 per day from the current Rs 246. Also, the government employees will be paid a wage bonus as per revised norms, for 2014-15 and 2015-16, a move that will entail a payout of Rs 1,920 crore. Other 'labour-friendly' moves included amendment in the Payment of Bonus Act and government support the cause of unions in high courts and the Supreme Court.
The government also said that it will issue advisories to states for ensuring completion of trade union registration within 45 days. The trade unions, who are demanding minimum monthly wage of Rs 18,000 per month or Rs 692 a day and base pension of Rs 3,000 a month, were not impressed by the government's move and said they would go ahead with the day-long general strike on Friday.
The strike call is being supported by almost all major labour unions except RSS-affiliated BMS, and may impact banking and insurance services, power supplies and coal mining. "The government's minimum wage announcement is completely inadequate. The strike stands and we demand they should enact a law to fix minimum (universal) wage," All India Trade Union Congress General Secretary Gurudas Dasgupta said. "Finance Minister's statement clearly shows that the government has not considered any of the demands in our 12- point charter. The unions have no other alternative but to fight for their rights," Indian National Trade Union Congress Vice-President Ashok Singh said.

Maybe that’s why I associate the end of the year with the hope that the trials suffered will give birth to a new dawn. The New Year will certainly bring its own set of mistakes, such is life, but the hope is that we can apply what we learned in the old one for the betterment of the new one. My last horoscope read- “The challenge of 2012 was personal growth. This is the last in a three-year phase of self-development and reinvention through hard lessons.” I took that to mean that if 2012 was the year for sowing, 2013 will be for reaping. But before I skip along to "Auld Lang Syne" I should start with the most magical of holidays: Christmas.
By some crazy airline miracle made in Delta heaven my sister found me a cheap ticket which would eventually lead to an elaborate plan to surprise my Mom on Christmas Eve by showing up on her doorstep. Her emotional reaction, captured and immortalized in a Facebook video, was the best present we could possibly give her. Some presents, usually the best ones, you just can’t wrap. My sister threw an impressive party for Nochebuena, mixing our Cuban traditions with our adopted American sensibilities. Bing Crosby’s soft voice crooned in the living room, salsa/merengue played in the backyard, everybody played dominoes and kissed under the mistletoe. It was a Miami Christmas and the best I’ve ever had. Of course the holidays would not be complete without a little family drama. Turns out a certain outsider didn’t know that when she hurt one of our own she messed with the pride of lionesses we become when protecting our cubs. My family is blunt, rambunctious and we talk over each other’s sentences but what we lack in social niceties we make up for in fierce loyalty. After she cowered away, much to her chagrin, all that upheaval managed was to wind our pack closer together. We made bonds that night that will tie us even when memory no longer serves us.
I was greeted Christmas morning with the smell of fresh-out-the-oven Knaus Berry Farm cinnamon rolls. I don’t know if my baby sister was vying for the Hostess of the Year blue ribbon award but it was a real welcome home treat. That night my cousins took me to a showing of “Les Misérables” and it felt like the beginning of a new tradition: a tradition where we go to the movies on Christmas night and I talk my brother-in-law’s ear off during Hugh Jackman’s solo. Or some other traditions like blasting “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and prancing around the living room in our jammies. Or playing musical chairs to José Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad.” Or playing Taboo till the wee hours and eating cold pizza. Or lying under the tree looking at the lights, serenaded by a two-year-old’s sweet rendition of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Like something straight out of an old, black and white, feel-good holiday movie my family Christmas was exactly that perfect.
On the day of my departure my Mom made me the most delicious lunch. As I chewed my last bites of arroz blanco y frijoles colorados I thought about having to go back to my empty apartment (sans Mom’s cooking) and I was pleasantly surprised. The sadness that usually accompanied my three hour return flight to New York (more often than not turning into a weeklong sulk) just wasn’t there. For the first time I was actually looking forward to go (dare I say it!) home. Yes, I did have some fun upcoming events that could have been the culprit for my unexpected excitement. I was really looking forward to my trip to Boston and celebrating New Year’s Eve with my “urban family.” But it also felt like something else. I felt…sated.
Long after the ball dropped and the confetti was swept off 42nd Street, I sat with friends reminiscing about our past year. Two thousand and twelve was the year I chopped off my hair like a rebel and turned 27 like a big girl. It marked the year of my baby cousin’s birth and my sister’s anniversary of wedded bliss. It was the year my Mom found love and I got my own heart broken. It was the year my career hit a plateau, I got denied acceptance into The Actor’s Studio, and had the worst audition of my life. On April 25 I was diagnosed with low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma and on June 18 I had the successful surgery that pronounced me cancer-free. On May 23 I began chanting and on August 29 I had my first Buddhist intro class. On September 23, after nearly ten years, I went back to Cuba and found the redemption I sought. October marked one year of newsletters and coming into my own as a writer, published two articles for an online magazine. In two thousand and twelve I visited Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment, ate macarons in front of Tiffany’s, fell in love with the New York Public Library, met Sir Paul McCartney and Woody Harrelson, had drinks on a rooftop overlooking the Freedom Tower and got to see Obama elected for a second term.
Inexplicably I burst into tears. I say inexplicably because I couldn’t understand why I was crying in the middle of a perfectly normal conversation in my friend’s perfectly normal Brooklyn apartment. Nothing bad had happened recently, no major life changes- so why had I turned on the water works and why was I having a breakdown??? Only till weeks later, after reading Kelly Cutrone’s If You Have to Cry, Go Outside, did I realize that I wasn’t having a breakdown, I was having a breakthrough. My body physicalized what my soul already knew and my mind still hadn’t processed- I was becoming a grown-up. So I start this New Year, this promising year of change, with the hope to keep making mistakes. Big ones. Colossal. If not, how will I ever keep evolving? And if all else fails, there’s always next year. I hear there’s always room there for second chances.

Our analysis provides new insight into how boards function and the role that they play in providing managerial oversight and determining corporate strategy.
) unearthed a handwritten note in which ACS Chairman Darwin Deason discussed the practice of always picking the lowest prices “so far” in the quarter to award stock options, The Wall Street Journal reported.
In 2009, ACS ranked #401 on the FORTUNE 500 list and employed about 74,000 people around the world who served thousands of commercial and government clients.
In February 2010, following its acquisition by Xerox, ACS was replaced by Urban Outfitters on the Standard & Poor 500 Index.
C., alleges that from 1995 to 2006, ACS engaged in a fraudulent and deceptive scheme to provide executives and other employees with undisclosed compensation.
ACS, through its former CEO and its former CFO, backdated the grant dates of ACS stock options to coincide with the dates of low closing prices for the company's stock and then filed periodic reports with the SEC that omitted necessary expenses for backdated options.
Additionally, ACS did not have adequate internal controls relating to the granting of stock options and did not maintain accurate books and records concerning its stock option grants.We examine the role of board connections in explaining how the controversial practice of backdating employee stock options spread to a large number of firms across a wide range of industries.The increase in the likelihood that a firm begins to backdate stock options that can be explained by having a board member who is interlocked to a previously identified backdating firm is approximately one-third of the unconditional probability of backdating in our sample.On July 29, 2016 the US District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed the lawsuit pursued by Matthew Sciabacucchi.The lawsuit contended that some Xerox Corp directors and officers had abrogated their fiduciary duties in connection with the company's .4 billion acquisition of ACS in 2010.

A religious experience is subtle, fragile and largely subjective. It transcends the formal, planned program. It is absorbed as well as perceived. We, therefore, believe the satisfaction of worshipers depends greatly on the architectural and acoustical milieu. An environment that must accommodate and enhance both the verbal and lyrical.

As an entrepreneur, or anyone starting something new and challenging, there will come a time that it seems like it is getting away from you. That your head is not in the game and may never be there again. Here is how the EXP factor comes into play.
Being an entrepreneur is an expectations game. After all, you decided to become an entrepreneur on the back of the expectations it can produce for other people, and what you expect it to produce for you. Those expectations have to be managed carefully if they are to keep you going forward and persevere.
It’s time to take back control, and the only way you can do that is by getting to a place where you lead yourself. When you intentionally and purposefully start this process it becomes the beginning of self-leadership and control.

The US military is reorienting itself toward a large-scale fight with a near-peer adversary, like Russia or China.
For the Marine Corps, like other branches, that means a shifting resources away from what it's been doing for the past two decades.
But a suggestion that the Corps ditch its special-operations command is getting push back from those operators.
At least that's the argument one retired Marine officer made this week while presenting ways the service can better prepare for large-scale naval operations — and it's causing quite a stir in the Marine Corps special operations community.
Marines taking part in Marine Corps Special Operations Command's Assessment and Selection Preparation and Orientation Course (ASPOC) do dynamic stretching exercises after a 10-mile hike at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, September 29, 2019.
Wood's call to disband the command comes after the Marine Corps released its 2020 budget request, revealing plans to increase the number of MARSOC billets. But the 2,700 Marines already assigned to MARSOC do more to benefit US Special Operations Command than they do the Marine Corps, Wood wrote.
For Marine Raiders who fought for a place within US Special Operations Command over the past 13 years, Wood's suggestion falls flat.
"If there's a major theater war with China or Iran, it's not going to look like the Second World War," Ackerman said. "... To say these 2,700 guys will be better suited in [any other] Marine regiment belies a lack of understanding of what Marine Raiders have contributed in the last 10 years."

But even as the Marine Corps takes steps to get ready for that type of fight, Marine Commandant Gen. Robert Neller said last week that up to 90% of what his service does "will not be against a near-peer adversary."

BUMMING AROUND BURLINGTON | Elaine-iaK's Travels: A Traveler's Tales of People, Places, Photos, Pools… and CHOCOLATE!
I liked the historic feel of Burlington, which was quite different from where I grew up in Southern California. Several of the downtown Burlington buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places, and it was great to see the care taken to preserve these old buildings.
Take the Capitol Theater, for example. Dating back to 1937, the 700-seat theater had been closed since 1977; however, a foundation of passionate citizens was formed to raise the money needed to restore the theater back to its 1937 splendor– with some modern additions. Such painstaking care was taken in the restoration that the new seats and carpet were reproduced to look like the originals, and a boatload of money was spent to restore the marquee to exactly as it looked in its heyday.
We took a guided tour, one of the included attractions for the day. I especially liked the art deco-style lighting throughout the theater, and the old projector was a classic!
The hop on-hop off bus also made stops at the top of Heritage Hill, a beautiful neighborhood of lovely old homes and Snake Alley.
Constructed in 1894, Snake Alley was once known as the crookedest alley in the world. It was built to create a short cut from the top of the hill to the business district below. Needing to accommodate horses, the mode of transportation at the time, the bricks were tilted higher on the upper edges, making it easier for the horse’s hooves to catch on the raised edge making the ascent easier and the descent a lot safer.
We didn’t have access to a horse, so we hoofed the 275 feet of Snake Alley carefully on foot to the street below.
In all, it was a pleasant little historic city of 25,000-26,000 people, and we enjoyed having a look around.
It was another beautiful sail-away highlighted by an entertaining calliope concert!

Dalton: Now, a story about supply and demand. And the people demand…beer! Upstate New York was once the spot for hops, the plant that gives your favorite India Pale Ale its signature bitter bite.
Long-Higgins: Now New York is attempting to take back the industry. The state is encouraging craft brewers to buy their hops from local farmers. This has meant a huge leap in the amount of hops grown in New York. But not all local brewers are on the hop train. Katherine Sullivan takes us from the farm to the pint.
LONG-HIGGINS 1: On the 6th floor of Bellevue hospital, a man named Hugo wears an eye patch and lays on his hospital bed. He’s 54, has a traumatic brain injury, and has been in this bed for a few days. His sister, Margaret, has been at his side for three to four hours each day since he arrived.
MARGARET: 13:06: Slow down so your words can come out.
LONG-HIGGINS 2: The hospital room looks pretty typical– white walls, a birthday sign for Hugo. But what makes it feel different than a normal hospital room is the way it sounds.
LONG-HIGGINS 3: There’s a small speaker pumping out Christian music in the corner of the room.
MARGARET: I was surprised when they offered an ipod–wheeeeew what hospital offers an ipod with music?
LONG-HIGGINS 4: Patients like Hugo with a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, get the usual hospital essentials…a bed, dinner tray, hospital gown. But they also get an ipod and a personal playlist with ten of your favorite songs. It’s a new approach to treating patients recovering from TBIs and strokes. And it’s part of a program called Music and Memory, which was originally founded to help patients with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. The goal is to help people remember who they are. Margaret says that for her brother, it seems to be working.
MILDRED: 11:32: It relaxes him. It brings him to a peaceful stage, especially when we hear the old hymns, like How Great Thou Art . Soothes the soul.
LONG-HIGGINS 5: Hugo and Margaret aren’t their real names… I can’t reveal patient names because of the hospital’s strict confidentiality laws. Hugo likes Christian music, but all patients have different musical tastes. Once patients enter the unit, the staff finds out what kind of music they like. If the patient is unable to talk, the therapists make some educated guesses. Irene David is the director of the Therapeutic Arts department in medicine for adults at Bellevue Hospital. She scrolls through the department’s iTunes library and matches each song with a different patient she’s treated. She pauses when she scrolls past Klezmer.
DAVID: It’s just silly and uplifting, DA DA DEE DA DA, and it gets people moving…IRENE SINGS ALONG…I mean it’s silly and adorable, and that’s what you need when you’re in a clinical atmosphere.
LONG-HIGGINS 7: The actual ipods are stored in a separate part of the hallway, along with the patient’s files. It’s like a medicine cabinet, but for music. Instead of medical charts, there are files with notes on how each patient reacted to their songs on any given day.
DAVID: Just a very simple fill-in grid, who’s on it, with patient for each line with room number, time returned, and a very important column, simply labeled, patient response, eg, facial expression, body language, signs of changed mood.….
LONG-HIGGINS 8: The Music and Memory program is at the forefront of this work, trying to explore how an impaired or injured brain can have such a strong reaction to music. Oliver Sacks was a famed brain scientist and champion of music and brain research. He once explained on an episode of Science Friday that it’s almost impossible to lose music, even if the brain’s language centers are knocked out.
SACKS: When music is played, or imagined, (sneak in music) uh, many areas in the brain get activated, some of them are healing areas, but some are visual areas, some are motor areas, em, many are emotional areas. There’s no one music center in the brain.
LONG-HIGGINS: Essentially, when you listen to music, a dozen networks are lighting up all over the brain. Sacks died in 2015, but other brain scientists are carrying on with new research. Dr. Jonathan Burdette is a professor of Radiology at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. His recent studies on music and brain support the theory of the Music and Memory program, and he says that customized ipod playlists can help reduce the amount of medication patients of all kinds need to take. Less medication means less money.
BURDETTE: It’s cheap- it’s cheap! It’s not a drug for God’s sake. It’s it’s music. And uh, people have a connection with it.
LONG-HIGGINS: He says the Music and Memory program is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to personalized music in clinical settings. While some critics may say it’s too touchy feely, Dr. Burdette says a day will come when patients of all kinds get ipods at most hospitals when they walk in the door.
BURDETTE: It’s gonna be the new normal and it’s kind of–I wouldn’t say it’s frowned upon, it may seem a little bit odd at some places now, that is not gonna be the case going down the road.
Rashida: yeah, I switched it, I switched it.
29:24: Irene: So we can hear it from the speakers?
LONG-HIGGINS: Back at Bellevue Hospital, another patient is getting his ipod turned on. When Roger first came to the TBI unit in January, he was asking for Bob Marley. He spent most of his time in bed and wasn’t able to hold a conversation. Today, he prefers salsa and merengue, and you can find him dancing and doing push-ups.
LONG-HIGGINS: Roger’s music therapist connects a speaker to his ipod.
ROGER: Music, the one I’m listening to now, means a lot to me.
LONG-HIGGINS: Roger says songs like these make him ponder his love life, his family, and his childhood. And that’s exactly what the program is trying to do…help patients connect with their identity before they became patients. And as Irene David puts it, those moments of clarity make a world of difference.
DAVID: But what’s so beautiful about any art form is that it helps to open a window, or keep a window open, and that’s just something to treasure. And to know that you’ve been a part of that, to help move a patient an inch toward clarity out of the fog, it’s immensely gratifying.
LONG-HIGGINS: Song by song, patients get an inch closer to remembering who they were, or who they are, or who they could be again. And it’s a beautiful sound. Hannah Long-Higgins, Columbia Radio News.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (BRAIN) — With the Taipei Cycle Show set to open Wednesday, manufacturers are celebrating what appears to be a surge in export revenue in 2018 thanks in part to increasing demand for e-bikes.
The value of overall bicycle and component exports topped $3.21 billion—a 14.9 percent year-on-year increase, Taiwan's Customs Administration reports.
While the value of Taiwan's exports is up when compared to a tepid 2017, it's a complicated picture for the industry.
For example, the number of traditional units exported — excluding e-bikes — dipped 6.7 percent to 2.2 million units; that's compared to 2.4 million units in 2017.
Still, the average unit price for traditional bicycles grew 19.4 percent compared to 2017, to $668.83. Helping drive that increase was demand for higher value carbon fiber full-suspension bikes. Meanwhile, e-bike exports grew 56.1 percent to 283,000 units compared to 181,000 units in 2017. And overall export value was up 51.9 percent reaching $375 million compared to $247 million in 2017.
Taiwan's top five markets include the Netherlands, the U.S., Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain. The U.S. market saw a 103.4 percent increase in unit deliveries from Taiwan in 2018 to 55,000 e-bikes compared to 27,000 units in 2017.
The Customs Department noted that the value of e-bikes shipped to the U.S. also doubled from $38 million in 2017 to more than $73 million last year with an average unit price of $1,327. Still, despite increased demand, the unit value per e-bike dipped slightly by 2.9 percent to $1,326 from $1,364 in 2017 as suppliers pushed for lower prices.
Parts and accessory manufacturers also had good news to celebrate. The export value of a variety of parts and accessories grew to $1.4 billion—an 11.3 percent increase. Still, the market for Taiwan's P&A manufacturers is mixed.
As the volume for traditional bicycles has softened, it's impacting a variety of makers that supply hubs, rims, tires, and cockpit parts.
Suppliers, on the other hand, are eager to bring e-bike prices down in a highly competitive market. To meet key price points, suppliers are demanding lower prices from name-brand manufacturers for parts and components or they are spec'ing lower value in-house products.
The Customs Bureau also broke down exports by region with the North American Free Trade Area and the European Union accounting for 77 percent of Taiwan's business. Units shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico accounted for 600,000 bicycles while the EU imported more than 1.1 million. Within the EU, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany absorbed the largest share of Taiwan bicycles.
The U.S. market had the second highest average selling price per unit overall (e-bikes plus traditional bicycles) among Taiwan's top 10 markets at $842.80. Only the Netherlands was higher at $889.10—an indication of that country's demand for e-bikes.
The UK, Taiwan's third largest market, averaged $481 per unit, while its fourth largest market, Germany, lagged far behind at $402 per unit.

It’s no secret that home playground equipment can pose serious dangers to children.
I find it incredible when witnessing parents lecturing their children for putting themselves in danger… when it’s the parents’ responsibility to create a safe place for kids to play in.
In the United States alone, tens of thousands of children are treated in hospitals for injuries originating from playground equipment. And that is without counting those that treat themselves at home.
Seeing your children having fun in the backyard without a care in the world is one of the blessings in life. So I’m sure any parent would want to create a safe and conducive environment that keeps the potential of injuries at the bare minimum.
Here are some tips to do so.
Throw away that philosophy of buying clothing 1 size bigger when it comes to equipment.
This is a totally different animal altogether.
If a child cannot safely use the equipment at the moment, don’t even think about him being able to do so in 6 months.
Accidents don’t wait for us to grow up.
Billion-dollar corporations pour a huge amount of money into research and testing on their products. If they mention that a particular item is meant for kids in a certain age group, please don’t think that you know better.
It’s your children’s life and childhood on the line. Make sure he or she is at the appropriate age the toys and equipment are meant for.
Also check that products have a ASTM F 1148 label.
If you are an outdoor person, you’d know that the spot where you set up the tent is the most critical factor in how well it holds up.
You must approach setting up the equipment with the same level of care.
The selected site should be at least 7 feet away from electrical cables and 6 feet away from walls.
It must also not be on low ground where water ponding will occur. At the same time, the ground has to be level to prevent any falls due to balance disorientation.
Read up the manufacturer’s installation instructions when assembling equipment together. Don’t forget to set anchors.
If there are more than one equipment to set up, ensure that they are at least 12 feet apart.
There is always the potential of falls when playing outdoors. And in some areas, the potential of falls happening can be more predictable.
Identifying these areas will depend on your judgment.
Then setup a soft landing in these areas.
Don’t forget to inspect it’s condition every fortnight.
The height of the play equipment will heavily depend on the age of the child.
A slide for example, that is meant for pre-school children should never exceed 4 feet.
The hazard is not just about falling. It is also about strangling as well.
When an equipment is too tall, children can strangle when their head gets caught in openings since their feet cannot reach the ground.
For this reason, openings should either be less than three and a half inches so that a child cannot get through, or more than 9 inches so that one can fall completely through without getting caught in it.
The gist of everything is to be mindful of clothing and accessories that can get caught on playground equipment. And also take extra care in protecting fingers and toes as they are the most vulnerable to injuries at play.
Once you install the equipment, it is a good idea to conduct an orientation and demonstration on how to use it safely.
A lot of times children learn best with a visual lesson. Conducting an oral lecture alone might not be ideal.
You can double it up by announcing your rules for playing and warn them against stepping over line.
To round this up, remember that children usually don’t know any better. They are not expected to anyway. So don’t lay the expectation of being safe solely on their shoulders.
It is our job as parents to create a safe environment in the backyard or any other places at home for the kids to play safely.
