One year when I was a kid, my family was driving to Abilene to spend Christmas with my Grandparents (dad's parents). This particular year, we were driving at night on Christmas Eve. My brother and I were in the back seat together and spotted a red light in the sky off in the distance. We told my mom and dad that it must be Rudolph's nose and that Santa was obviously on his way. They agreed with us. We felt so special to have spotted, even just for a moment, evidence of Santa and his reindeer. Now knowing that it was either a plane or a light atop a radio tower doesn't matter - I still remember that night and how excited we were.
Hey! I'm glad you liked the E! party pics! It was a lot of fun. I set up a Christmas tree in my apt, one that was my grandparents when my mom was little. There's no snow here, so it never really feels like Christmas. I'm sure your house looks adorable. I can just picture it, I'm sure it's all decked out!!!
The Christmas market in Reims is being held just in front of the cathedral, which is beautifully lit and adorned with a giant Christmas tree. The marché is full of ideas for Christmas, from handcrafted presents to food and drink, including some rather special bottles of champagne. In Châlons-en-Champagne bubbles rub shoulders with the baubles decorating the chalets to give an equally enchanting ambiance. Finally, at Grinyland you can enjoy a special moment meeting Father Christmas… Wherever you go, a magical break is in store for young and old alike!
The August 14 Catholic Man Night was a great event. We had between 130 and 140 men together for Adoration, Reconciliation, a man feast, and a great talk from our Chaplain Father Burke Masters. See below for pictures and video of the event. Save the date for the next Catholic Man Night September 12 at St. Alexander Parish in Villa Park.

All throughout October, “Lily,” as dubbed by ENPD’s previous chief Karyl Kates, will cruise the neighborhoods and attend events collecting donations on behalf of Unite For HER.
President, founder, and survivor Sue Weldon said they are ready to hit the road running with Lily and encouraged anyone who sees Lily to take a picture and give a shout out on social media.
Care regulator the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has released another 18 reports into learning disability residential facilities and found that only a third were fully compliant with the 2 essential standards it investigated.
The reports are the sixth batch to be released, as part of the CQC's programme of 150 unannounced inspections of learning disability hospitals and care homes. Inspections focused on 2 outcomes relating to the Government's essential standards of quality and safety: the care and welfare of people who use services, and safeguarding people who use services, from abuse. The CQC inspectors found that only 6 facilities were fully compliant with both standards, although 7 more raised minor concerns. In relation to the care and welfare outcome, the CQC had minor concerns about 7 facilities, moderate concerns about 4 and a major concern about one. In relation to safeguarding, the CQC found 10 locations compliant, had minor concerns with 5, a moderate concern with one and major concerns with 2.
The 18 facilities inspected comprised 8 NHS, 4 independent health care and 6 adult social care locations. Inspectors reported major concerns against both outcomes at Harkstead Barn in Ipswich, run by United Response, and a major and a moderate concern at Shear Meadow in Hemel Hempstead, run by Cambrian Learning Disabilities Ltd. At Harkstead Barn, inspectors found that care plans and health action plans were not being reviewed or updated to reflect changes in people's needs. They also found that systems to prevent and identify abuse were inadequate. The main concern at Shear Meadow was that, although procedures were in place to prevent and identify abuse, they were not always followed. There were risks to the safety and wellbeing of people receiving support as the number of restraints used were not monitored or analysed. All the services, where concerns are identified, have to tell the CQC how and when they will improve.
Those failing to meet essential standards could face enforcement action by the regulator if improvements are not made.
The CQC will publish a national report based on the findings from all 150 reports later in the year. To view the individual inspection reports, click here.
One Response to "2nd Session Video Snapshot – 3"
Love it! Another great video. Thank you!
I thought this recipe was a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people ask what the actual seven layers are in Seven Layer Dip. So here ya go.
The secret is using picante sauce where so many people use salsa because it gives you just enough zing to cut through the creaminess.
(It’s also technically 8 layers if you include the tomatoes on the top, but it will be so good that no one will complain.) Now go getcho chips and enjoy.
If you want to serve the dip hot, preheat the oven to 350.
Mix mayo and sour cream together.
Layer ingredients in order, starting with beans and ending olives.
Bake for 30 minutes, top with tomatoes and serve. Or, if you’re of the more impatient variety or you prefer this cold, add tomatoes, sit and chow.

"I am currently a senior mechanical engineering student at Stony Brook University. My key quality as a tutor aside for the passion I have for my subjects is definitely my patience with students. I feel that tutoring is not just instruction, but a means of communication with students. From my years of tutoring I have come to learn that misunderstanding of subject concepts come not from the students own lack of understanding, but rather from lack of proper interpretation of students questions.

Following speculation that money raised from the sale of six B&Q stores would be used to fund Kingfisher’s transformation plan, the global home improvement giant has said this is not the case.
A report in the Sunday Times suggested that Kingfisher CEO Veronique Laury was hoping to raise £125million via the sale and leaseback of six B&Q stores in order to help fund Kingfisher's five-year turnaround plan, One Kingfisher. Subsequent news outlets have picked up on the story and continued the rumours.
However, while Kingfisher has today confirmed the sale leaseback process, it insists it is not linked to the transformation plan, with a spokesperson adding that the company has “net cash on the balance sheet, profits of more than £700million a year, and no pension fund deficit”.
The stores in question are Birmingham, Croydon, Southampton, Cardiff and two in the north east of England.
Last year we were told tool time tool sales promotion at Xmas was worth. Millions to the company. This year they haven't bothered, sales are well down with no xmas promotional activities, mass out of stocks, staff have left in droves replaced by lovely but inexperienced Eastern European workers, staff bonuses taken away and replaced with bonus based on unachievable targets have cost staff 6% of their salary, while the CEO and directors have received bigger than normal bonuses. Lowery has destroyed BQ UK, and is continuing to do so how long before kingfisher dumps BQ like it did woolworths, remember before they sold woolworths they sold off the property that it owned!
I wonder how long the vision of the VL will continue to pull the group to the very bottom? How many days will it go before someone thinks that this is the last moment to change the direction of development ... To stop this madness, to regain value of shares and investor confidence ... The group is bad, and it will be even worse. The single product market is not working (China does not manage to produce everything on time), people in each group's countries are different and have different feelings of aesthetics and other needs, and no 10,000 projects will change ... Similar selling prices are also a nail to the coffin, check the price of tools, for example MacAllister in England and some EU country, and refer to the average level of earnings. This is some massacre. And the SAP system will catch us all.
Members of the recently formed Landlords Alliance have started a Nationwide boycott of B&Q and Screwfix due to the former's support of Shelter. The 'charity' leads or supports every attack that is happening on the Private Rented Sector. These attacks are causing the sector to contract at over 4000 properties a month and are therefore resulting in massive numbers of families losing their homes. These households are then left looking for somewhere new to rent in a shrinking market and often end up at their council's doors but with little in the way of social housing stock, the result is homelessness.

Welcome to our webpage for 2017/18.
We will also be learning how to classify animals in science and learning about the life cycle of a butterfly.
KIRF challenges are on a Wednesday. Use these games to help you practise.
Class 2 will be 'out and about' this half term - investigating how plants grow, identifying trees and plants in the school grounds and exploring the local area in order to create a map. We shall also be studying the beautiful work of Georgia O'Keefe in art and all of our work in English will be inspired by garden based books!
In art, we have been learning about the work of Georgia O'Keefe. We looked carefully at lots of her paintings and observed what we noticed they all had in common. We then replicated some of her work before using her style to create some of our own flowers!
In computing, we used a paint program to create some of our own digital art flowers in the style of Georgia O'Keefe!
We have been learning the names of common plants in science and learning how to identify them.
In science, we have been learning about which parts of plants are edible! We then created our own completely edible plant and gave it a funny game! Have a look at some of our creations below.
This half term Class 2 will be thinking about how we can make a difference to ourselves, to other people, to animals, to the world around us and to our school retreat garden! We will also be learning about the stories of Easter and Holy Week and thinking about the diffrence that Jesus made.
As part of our D&T project, we designed and created our very own bird feeders to help make a difference to our gardens at home. They're bright and colourful to hopefully attract lots of birds!
Class 2 won the skipping competition on February 27th!
I would like to say a big well done to everybody in Class 2 for their fantastic participation. You all tried so hard and performed your new skipping skills brilliantly! I'm really proud of all of you and am looking forward to the final with you in June! Keep practising those skipping skills at home!
They Day Class 2 Tried Shrinking Spray!
Class 2 stumbled across a letter for the giant from Jack! Jack had also sent him some shrinking spray which we tried! Have a look at what we got up to when we shrank to the size of a pea!
KIRF challenges are on Wednesdays. Use these games to help you practise.
Class 2 will be ‘connecting up’ and adventuring to the North and South Poles! We shall be learning about the Arctic and Antarctic and how they differ from where we live. We will also be learning how to write postcards and letters as a way of connecting with other people.
We had a visit from the Road Safety Team at Leeds City Council. They taught us how to be safe when on or near the roads and about the green cross coad: Think, Stop, Look, Listen! We then went outside to practise using the green cross code when crossing the road.
In science, we have been learning about how animals are suited to living in different habitats. We found out that polar bears have a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm in the freezing Arctic! We tested this by putting our hand into a layer of 'blubber' and then putting it in some cold water. It was much warmer with the blubber!
As part of our Polar Regions topic, we were given the challenge of making an ice house out of some mini marshmallows and cocktail sticks! There were some super ideas for designs and it also helped us to revise our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes as we built them. Have a look at them below!
In English, we have been writing some non-fiction report about arctic foxes. We used the internet and a selection of BBC videos to help us learn lots of different facts about them. The video below was one of our favourites! It made us all laugh!
This half term, Class 2, will be learning about the wonders of our bodies and food! Throughout the curriculum, we will develop our skills of problem solving and questioning. We shall also be learning about the wonders of Christmas and practising for our school nativity, 'Jesus' Christmas Party'.
A very big well done to everyone in Class 1 and 2 for their fantastic performance of Jesus' Christmas Party. You all performed brilliantly and we are very proud of you.
We visited Jamie's Italian and York's Chocolate Story earlier this month to support our learning in D&T. We had such a fantastic day! At Jamie's, we learned about all the different types of pasta, learned how the pasta machine worked and then had a go at making our own stuffed ravioli! It was great fun! Then we went to York's Chocolate Story where we learned when chocolate was first made, how it is made and then made our own chocolate lollies. We also had lots of tasters along the way, yum! Have a look at some of the photos below!
We used a selection of different fruits to make our own faces! We ate them afterwards and they were delicious! Lots of us tried fruits we hadn't eaten before!
We learnt about the Italian artist, Arcimboldo who used to paint portraits using fruit, vegetables and plants! We then created our own. How many different fruits and vegetables can you see in each one?
In science, we have been learning about different body parts and our senses. We worked in small groups to label different parts of the body.
This half term our learning will be linked to the big story of the Bible. In RE, we will be looking at an overview of the Bible and the sequencing of events. In particular, we will learn about the story of creation, considering what we appreciate most. We will then look at Jesus' arrival and think about the good news he brought. A selection of parables will be read in English lessons to inspire some of our writing and in geography we will learn about and locate some of the places that Jesus visited.
NeuVector, which delivers continuous network security for containers, today announced the immediate availability of NeuVector 1.3, the most significant release of the container firewall security solution since its initial launch. Adapting to evolving container security needs, NeuVector 1.3 features a wealth of key security, integration, and UI additions. NeuVector is also releasing a new Enterprise version of the solution, which features capabilities specifically designed for large-scale deployments.
NeuVector is the only true Layer 7 container firewall, providing Layer 7 filtering for all container traffic, along with network intelligence that understands application intent and disallows suspicious behavior. NeuVector 1.3 enhances these critical protections across several fronts, including the ability to detect attacks that rely on tunneling (a technique used to conceal attacks). The new release also adds automatic forensic capture on every detected threat, and makes it simple for security teams to safeguard connections to and from external and legacy networks. The NeuVector solution is compatible with Docker encrypted networks (enabling inspection of encrypted connections), and is also integrated with Red Hat OpenShift, Rancher, and Kubernetes.
The NeuVector 1.3 solution – a container itself – further leverages its strategic position within Docker cluster deployments to add a series of new general host and container security features. The solution now detects suspicious process and privilege escalations within hosts or containers, thwarting breakout attempts as attacks seek to spread malware or probe other vital resources. NeuVector 1.3 also detects reverse shell connections, which attackers use to connect a compromised host or container to a command and control server in order to run commands remotely. These capabilities join NeuVector’s existing auditing and compliance features – such as vulnerability scanning and CIS benchmark security testing – in delivering effective security against known threats.
Additionally, to make large-scale adoption easier for customers, an Enterprise version of the solution is now available. In addition to offering the security capabilities included in NeuVector 1.3, the enterprise-specific product features include polices based on DNS names, webhook notifications for critical security events, REST API integration for automation into CI/CD pipelines, rolling updates to maintain protection during NeuVector updates, and priority technical support. Access control support for single sign-on (SSO), SAML, and LDAP integration is also added.
NeuVector NeuVector was founded by security and enterprise software veterans with the vision of simple, scalable security for container based applications. The team has over 20 years of security, virtualization, and enterprise software experience from companies such as VMWare, Fortinet, Cisco, and Trend Micro.
Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the validity of Marshall-Lerner condition and the existence of J curve for the Turkish economy. Because of transition to the floating exchange rate regime in 2001, the analyzing period has been chosen as 2003-2016 to use monthly data for the related variables. After conducting unit- root and cointegration tests, the estimated VECM results show that Marshall- Lerner condition holds for the Turkish case. On the other hand, estimated VECM produces impulse- response functions that prove the existence of J curve for the Turkish economy in the long run.
Bishop Creighton Academy partnered with Peterborough Cathedral to construct a programme of work which complemented and enhanced the National Curriculum.
