The bad credit is the hovering term that troubles the borrowers the most. Although most of people are aware of it but very few know it and true sense. Numbers of time, the UK borrowers fall in a trap virtually created by direct lenders; as a result, they accept high rated 'loans with bad credit no guarantor' as the only solution of ongoing financial crisis. Wouldn't it be better to get some insights about the credit score and the private lending industry before taking any type of financial help?
Understanding Credit Score in the UK:
Credit score is no longer a qualification just for getting the mortgage, credit card and personal loans; it also affects the chances of getting mobile phone connections, car insurance, new bank account etc. The credit ranking in the UK is clouded by several myths believed blindly by majority of borrowers approaching to direct lenders after getting denials from the regular banks. Sometimes, the myths are powered by different sector businesses to make the better profitable deals.
In the UK, there is nothing like 'universal credit score'. No term 'blacklist or banned because of poor credit score. Each direct lender checks your credibility secretly in its own way. It means that if one lender rejects your application for 'no guarantor loans bad credit' on pretext of low credit score, the other lender may not reject it. Credit score is intuitive. Would you credit even a small amount to a person with recorded failures in repayments?
Good Credit Score Doesn't Necessarily Make You Good Borrowers:
Yes, it may surprise you because you have been committed to repay all the dues on time so far. The numbers of lenders offer no credit check loans also but the credit score is used secretly to judge your future behavior of repayment; yes, no credit check loans are sanctioned on the basis of your current income or the promise you make to repay. Sometimes, little credit taking history also becomes a barrier because the direct lenders find it difficult to assess your repayment capability. Some applications for 'loans with bad credit no guarantor' are rejected because the direct lender doesn't see the earning potential in crediting to good borrower. For the private lenders, the profitable customer is one who is perpetually under the debt but never defaulting because of making the minimum repayment. However, it doesn't mean that you should carry on debt with intention for paying late. If this is the case with you, turn to other lender offering better proposal. Applying for no guarantor bad credit loan is a good strategy even if you have 'not too bad' credit score say around 500-600.
Borrowers Feel Comfortable With Bad Credit No Guarantor Loan:
The majority of borrowers in the UK hold unsecured loans. Unsecured personal loans have been preferred choice of UK borrowers. The unsecured personal credit in 2017 touched £200 billion figure first time ever since 2008; it means each household owes £7,400. The Bank of England's report (2007) states that, no guarantor loan amount is growing fast @ 7%; it is a serious development. A report shared online by Money-Super- Market states, "Almost 28% borrowers take no guarantor loans even up to the half of their annual salary. 10% UK borrowers were found having the debt more than the annual salary." It means that the UK borrower is least bothered about the cost of no guarantor bad credit loan and pays the debt back conveniently without taking much stress.
Should You Opt For Short-Term No Guarantor Loan?
Whether you are a self employed professional, salaried professional, unemployed or small business owner, the option for applying the 'loans with bad credit no guarantor' is always open. However, it is a justified decision only if you are certain about the expected income over which you rely for repayment. Bad credit no guarantor loans are credited at high interest rate with strict terms and conditions because of high risk involvement; therefore, the loan amount and repayment period should be kept the minimum possible.
British Lenders, a premier direct lender with years' existence in the UK, offers the least priced loans with bad credit no guarantor.

Past Exhibits
April 15th, 2015 by admin
Peter Miller
The current exhibit, "New Perspectives" brings many creative and technical pieces together to create broad, sweeping panoramics. Peter Miller's images are composed of as many as 45 images that are digitally stitched together.
The panoramic technique allows a broad view of a scene and at the same time captures all the intricate details. Peter's goal is to go beyond what is seen within the camera's view finder and reproduce the actual experience of being within a scene.
Inspiration is taken from the Dutch landscape painters from the 1600s especially Jacob van Ruisdael. The expansive skies and "divine light" in his paintings makes the figures and their homes below seem as if they are being watched over by the heavens, beneath a divine benevolence.
Peter's panoramics merge the big skies with street level views of everyday scenes — people walking to work, out on their boats — and freeze those transient moments. The themes are shared with van Ruisdael: transience and permanence; the sublime and the mundane; the forces of nature and the efforts of man to harness nature.
Don Gregory
"Natural Intensity", is a sampling of Don Gregory's bold colors, compelling macro views, and majestic landscapes. Don's photographs are presented on a grand scale that bathes the viewer in brilliant hues and rich textures.
Don recalls, "I always thought I would be a painter and looked at my photography as a way to record my "history" – a recording medium rather than an art form. But somewhere along the line I became frustrated by my inability to paint the way I wanted to and turned to photography as an artistic medium. My love of painting and the way that painters use light has had a major impact on my photography. That and my conversion to digital photography and photo editing software and the creative range that it provides, are probably the major influences in what you see today. (The highest compliment you can pay me is to say: "Wow! I thought that was a painting!".)
"My landscapes, botanicals and outdoor photographs are meant to celebrate the beauty and wonder of nature, to foster appreciation of the natural world, both big and small."

High speed photography involves catching objects in a state of motion. We use a device named the Time Machine from Mumford Micro Systems. to help us control the timing of the flash. It really helps us stop the motion and capture it all on "film".
The links located on the left side will take you through the steps needed to become more familiar with the Time Machine and how it works. Please take the time to read through the information provided to make your experience as meaniful as it can.
One of the first things needed to produce high speed images is a studio that you can make dark since you will be using the camera in bulb mode.
We will be using a EOS Rebel and a Canon Speed Light to capture our high speed images. We will be using the camera in Manual (M) mode and will be setting the camera's shutter speed to bulb mode. The picture below shows the two settings you will need to set on the camera.
It is important you set the camera on bulb mode since you will be shooting in a black environment. You will be holding the shutter open until the flash is triggered and then you will close the shutter.
We now need to learn how to set up the Time Machine. We use the Time Machine to control the flash and how soon it flashes after the event takes place.
There are five buttons on the Time Machine that you need to be familiar with. Lets discuss each and what their functions are.
RESET: Does just that, resets the Time Machine.
MODE: You use this button to change between the various modes built into the time machine. There are ten modes available.
BEGIN (options): Lets you change the various options available within each mode. Important that you read carefully and go slowly so you do not miss something.
PLUS: Lets you increase the variables. An example would be the time delay on the flash.
MINUS: Lets you decrease the variables. An example would be the time delay on the flash.
You are ready to put what you have learned to use? If so, lets move on to the Time Machine and catch some high speed photography.

The History Society has been on the road for the last few weeks presenting at the Nova Scotia SSTA, OHASSTA and the Teachers Institute on Canadian Parliamentary Democracy in Ottawa. It has been great to have an opportunity to meet teachers face to face and talk about Canada's National History Society and the fun digital projects that we are trying to get started.
To try and make things more exciting, we are experimenting with using a Wiki this year for our presentation. You can find our presentation Wiki at digitalhistory.pbwiki.com. If we are going to encourage teachers to use digital programs in their classroom, then the least we should do it use them ourselves in our presentations and projects.
I want to also stress the non-linear nature of the Wiki and what that means for historians. Critical thinking is about moving away from a linear view of the past towards something far greater and engaging. A Wiki gives students the opportunity to see how things are interconnected by linking material through different pages. You can also easily integrate other online programs to make your presentation more engaging.
I admit using a Wiki for a presentation is a bit unorthodox, but everyone has to start somewhere. As more teachers hopefully start their own classroom Wiki's we will have more examples to share with educators.

Ben Affleck Is The New Batman
Last week it was rumored that Christian Bale may once again don the cowl and portray Batman in Man Of Steel 2. Bale did not take the $50 million offered and it was announced that now Ben Affleck will be portraying Batman. This has caused a lot of people to be upset.
Ben Affleck was not my choice or frankly an obvious choice for me to play Batman but I trust the studio as they are the ones with the script so they know who will portray the character best. I also think it is unfair people slating Affleck over this. This is such an iconic role for any actor to have and fans already hate him.
People are also bringing up the fact that there was controversy over Michael Keaton portraying Batman and many consider him to be the best portrayal. I personally like Bale the best but maybe thats because Bale was Batman in my teenage years and I got to see the films at the cienma which is more fun that watching it on television.
I have been reading what people have been saying and some things I am concerned about but I am not going to let it get to me. Affleck is a brilliant director and has really changed as an actor over the last five years. People are comparing this to Daredevil already. Actors usually get better with age in my opinion.
Affleck will need to make this version of Batman his own. If he copies Bale directly people will slate him There are so many different versions of Batman and it will need to be different from Nolan's Batman. Affleck and Synder need to make this version as different as possible in order to be accepted.
I am very pleased that an older actor is playing Batman. Affleck is 41 and like I said he has matured as an actor so I am very looking forward to a weary but confident portrayal of Batman. I can only aassume that this Batman will have already been Batman for a few years before facing the Man of Steel.
I did think that Affleck would play a great Batman but a lesser Bruce Wayne. But there is plenty of time for that to change. Until a trailer is seen I cannot really make a comment on it. Bale played Bruce Wayne really well and my only concern is Affleck will not be able to out do Bale.I will give Affleck a chance and I think everyone else should.What do you think about Affleck portaying Batman? Who would you have rather seen portray him? Comment below and thanks for reading.
2 thoughts on "Ben Affleck Is The New Batman"
Just discovered your blog. Loved this post! I, too, am rooting for Ben Affleck to do a great job. I wouldn't be surprised if he got signed on for more than just acting, but wrote or directed a future Batman film. It would be a waste of talent otherwise.

By Carrie Wirth for Phelps Media Group.
Lexington, KY – Oct. 16, 2015 –
The CP National Horse Show offers great competition for horse lovers to enjoy including the country's finest hunters, international show jumping, featuring the $250,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Lexington, presented by CP and the nation's best junior equitation riders vying for the coveted ASPCA Alfred B. Maclay Trophy. This year, however, brings an added wow factor: the world-renowned Budweiser Clydesdales will be on hand to perform.
"Horses bring people together," said Scott Smith of Budweiser's Clydesdale Operations, and none do it better than the Budweiser Clydesdales.
Just about everyone has a sentimental attachment to the Budweiser Clydesdales. From childhood memories watching them in a hometown parade to today's award-winning television commercials, America has come to see these horses as enduring symbols of Budweiser's heritage, tradition and commitment to quality. The company's partnership with the horses dates back to 1933, when August Anheuser Busch, Sr.'s sons gave him a surprise gift to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition: a six-horse Clydesdale team and wagon.
These noble animals have a multi-faceted career that often takes them from one environment to another, and in short order. One day they're trotting down streets teeming with revelers at a Mardi Gras parade and a few days later they may be visiting a retirement home or a children's hospital, standing still like furry sentries as they enjoy being patted by adoring fans.
"These are truly magnificent animals," said Smith. "I don't know of any other animal that would do what we ask of these horses."
Clearly, it takes a special horse to adjust to varied conditions, particularly one that weighs a ton and, standing 18 hands (six feet) from the ground to its withers, towers over its admirers.
Anheuser-Busch receives more than 1,000 requests a year for appearances. In total the teams (known as "hitches") travel close to 200,000 miles and are on the road 10 months every year. They perform at the Rose Bowl Parade, the Super Bowl, NASCAR races and other notable events across North America, as well as in Puerto Rico and Alaska. They have made overseas appearances in China and Japan, and there have been visit requests from every corner of the globe.
Transporting these gentle giants is a huge undertaking. There are three teams total, each based in a different region of the United States. Each hitch requires three 50-foot semis. Two carry the horses and the third transports a red, white and gold beer wagon and other equipment. Ten horses travel on each team, eight of which perform with the other two on hand as alternates.
At each performance, every horse is a stunning picture of health, physically and mentally. How do these road warriors stay in top shape given the demands of frequent travel?
Simply put, the Budweiser Clydesdales are the celebrities of the horse world and they receive the same level of star treatment befitting a Hollywood movie star. Regardless whether they make the cut and appear in commercials or spend their entire career on the hitch, they receive the same top care from birth to retirement.
An obedience-trained Dalmatian dog travels with each hitch, a Budweiser tradition since the 1950s. Historically the role of the dogs was to guard the wagon and protect the team while the driver went inside buildings to make beer deliveries. During today's performances, the Dalmatians sit on the wagon, seated next to the driver. (Be sure to meet Barley, the pup coming to the CP National Horse Show. Less than a year old, he is "new on the job and just completed his apprenticeship," according to Smith.)
To qualify as a traveling hitch horse, a Budweiser Clydesdale must be a gelding at least four years of age, stand 18 hands or higher when fully mature, weigh at least 2,000 pounds, have a bay coat, four white legs, a white blaze and a black mane and tail.
The Budweiser Clydesdales perform at the CP National Horse Show: Friday evening after the Salamander Hotels & Resorts $35,000 Accumulator Costume Class; Saturday after the SBS Farms Large Junior Hunters and before the $15,000 Amalaya Investments Show Jumping Hall of Fame Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper Championship and Sunday at noon after the ASPCA Maclay National Championship Final and before the $250,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Lexington, presented by CP.
Those with a ticket from the National Horse Show can visit the Budweiser Clydesdales in the Big Barn at the Kentucky Horse Park.

A pair of American soldiers manning a remote desert outpost find themselves unraveling under the pressure of heat, hunger, boredom and anxiety in "Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, America, Kuwait," a new play written and directed by Daniel Talbott at the Gym at Judson. As grim as it is cryptic — it is never clear where exactly we are, or even if one of the titular countries is involved — the play gains some force from the intense performances of its cast, led by a particularly captivating Seth Numrich as the jumpier of the soldiers.
We begin with a monologue delivered in near darkness, in Serbian (why leave Serbia out of the title?), by Jelena Stupljanin. It is obvious from this unnamed character's ravaged appearance and the fierce anguish in her eyes that she has been the victim of terrible violence. After pouring forth her misery in Serbian, she adds a few sentences in English, describing how she has been held prisoner and serially raped by soldiers. A blackout follows — the play is marked by many, accompanied by ominous, thundering music — and then the lights rise on a concrete bunker in a desert, nearly buried by piles of sand. (The set design, by Raul Abrego, is terrific, with the sand lapping at the audience's feet.)
This outpost is manned by Smith (Mr. Numrich, star of the Broadway revival of "Golden Boy") and Leadem (Brian Miskell, seen recently in "The Undeniable Sound of Right Now"). Smith, played with antsy, wild-eyed ferocity by Mr. Numrich, fills the menacing void with words, while Leadem, portrayed in a lower key but with a tense, brooding dread by Mr. Miskell, mostly reacts only when prompted.
They appear to have been cut off from the rest of the troops and have been forbidden to communicate unless in an emergency, although, with their water and food supplies quickly dwindling, you'd think that they might take the chance. They appear to have no perceptible objectives, and boredom cannot entirely be quelled by talk of which Playboy centerfold is more enticing.
Gradually, both are visited by hallucinations or fantasies. Leadem suddenly sees his younger brother (Jimi Stanton), who after informing Leadem that he's fed his fish and that there's leftover meatloaf in the refrigerator, suddenly says, "I saw you, what you did to that girl."
Smith sees a vision, oddly, of Leadem's mother (Kathryn Erbe, formerly of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent"), who asks him if he knows her son after they engage in a passionate kiss. "I kind of know I'm not going to see him again," she says, calmly. "Isn't that weird?"
Much remains unresolved in Mr. Talbott's play, written in brief scenes of mostly mundane interactions that leave lingering mysteries behind. (Rattlestick Playwrights Theater and Piece by Piece Productions are the presenters.) While the grinding boredom of grunt life feels realistic, sharing the slow passing of time with the soldiers places a burden on the audience, as we begin to feel the oppressive tedium ourselves. Silent scenes showing the soldiers lying around or sleeping, or frantically exercising to keep their minds off the uncertainty of their situation, only add to the uncomfortable sense of stasis.
Eventually, another soldier, Miller (Chris Stack), stumbles onto the scene, desperate for water and food, his whole unit having been killed. He brings apocalyptic news, yet the others respond with little emotion, and soon it's back to desultory talk about girlfriends or playing games like Never Have I Ever, in which each takes a turn confessing something surprising he hasn't done. For Smith, it's drugs, although that's not as surprising as you might think, given the high-wire intensity that radiates from him, even as his body and mind begin to disintegrate.
As well drawn as the characters are, they are not particularly interesting company. (Mr. Stack's good-humored Miller brings a little lift to the proceedings, but not much.) And the fantasy sequences, which continue as Leadem receives another visit from his brother, and a desperate request from the Serbian woman, are similarly low-key and sometimes drearily portentous. "Think of me when you die," Leadem's mom says to Smith, by way of farewell, in their final encounter.
It's only natural to feel compassion for the soldiers' desperate plight, but the flights into surrealism tend to temper that response, since they pluck us out of the harsh reality the men are facing.
What Mr. Talbott expects us to derive from his play remains opaque. He is hardly the first to depict the difficult life of the soldier and its punishing psychic toll. Despite the fine acting, "Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, America, Kuwait" succeeds mostly in making us share the mind-addling frustration of its characters, and maybe wondering how Zimbabwe fits into this particular vision of the hazards of war.

Laser and electron beam welding are widely accepted manufacturing techniques for a wide range of industrial applications. Both technologies have their advantages and disadvantages, and traditionally these have defined the applications which they are most suitable for. However, on-going developments in both laser and electron beam technology are increasing the overlap between the technologies. As such, there are an increasing number of applications which are considered suitable for both laser and electron beam welding.
This workshop will compare and contrast laser and electron beam welding techniques, with the objectives of providing attendees with an increased appreciation of both techniques and an understanding of how current users down-select between the processes. Presentations will be given from end-users, equipment suppliers and researchers, covering the following themes:

Statistics and news reports seem to indicate that our current educational systems are failing many indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, Metis) students. The challenges indigenous students face are many and complex, yet there are also stories of achievement and accomplishment. In its information-gathering stage, this external outreach group will meet monthly to report on research members have undertaken and to hear from a variety of speakers – Indigenous community members, educators, government representatives – to help us understand the current educational environment for indigenous students and possible pathways for enhancing opportunities for these young people so that they may realize their potential and make a contribution to their communities and country. With this foundation, our medium-term objective will be to identify a specific education project in Ontario that we may support in partnership with local educators and indigenous leaders.

Members will meet in the home of a member on the first Tuesday evening of the month from October to June (except January).
The game of Mah-Jong has evolved from the original Chinese form and has been adapted to various cultures. It is a challenging, engrossing, fast moving, mentally stimulating game. It requires a versatile mind to complete a hand with the highest score. There is no universal game, but once the basic procedure is understood, players find no difficulty in adapting their game to another country's version.
Mah-Jong sets consist of 144 colourfully designed tiles of ivory, bone or plastic. The ideal configuration is four players per square table. The four players can set their own time limits and predetermined rules. This allows for opportunities to increase the complexities of the game at ones own pace. The expert can play with advanced rules; the newly initiated can have their own simple version and add on new rules gradually as they become more proficient. Since it is a social game, one can freely exchange small talk and enjoy each others company.
Tuesdays, 12:30 p.m.
Modern Board Games
Anyone tired of Monopoly or Clue, cribbage or backgammon? Join the new Modern Board Games group. The purpose of this group is to learn and play the newer games on the market, to challenge our minds, and of course, to have fun!

The group will be meeting once again at the New Edinburgh Square Senior Residence.
1st Thursday, 1-3 pm

We meet in a member's home on the fourth Thursday of the month from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Each member brings a treasure or tale to share.

University Women Helping Afghan Women
University Women Helping Afghan Women (UWHAW) Study and Interest group was created by members deeply affected by the message Dr. Sima Samar delivered about the plight of Afghan women at the 2010 Annual General Meeting in Ottawa. Dr. Samar, a physician and Chairperson of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, spoke of their strength, the fragility of their basic human rights and freedoms, and the need for the continuing support of the international community. Our support for these women became more critical than ever with the withdrawal of the international forces in 2014 and the resulting change in media focus.
Our goals are to continue to learn about the realities of life in Afghanistan, to raise awareness in our community and beyond about ongoing challenges that face women and girls in their fragile country, to advocate for their rights, and to raise funds for their tertiary education.
We are very fortunate to have access to excellent speakers for our monthly meetings from government, universities, Global Affairs Canada, NGO's working in Afghanistan, the Embassy of Afghanistan and young Afghans and the military. The presentations are excellent with good discussions to follow. We also have one meeting dedicated to reviews of current books on the realty of life in Afghanistan.
Our belief that education will empower Afghan women and girls has led us to our projects for fundraising scholarship funds for young women studying at the Gawharshad Institute of Higher Education (GIHE) in Kabul. GIHE was founded by Dr. Sima Samar to ensure a pool of educated women was available to take leadership roles in future Afghan governments. Classes are co-ed and human rights and democracy are part of the curriculum. Thirty one girls have already graduated from Gawharshad on UWHAW scholarships, another 5 will do so in 2018 and 2019, and 25 in 2021. We look forward to not only continuing to support young Afghan women, but to see them graduate and be a success in their community and country. This June, UWHAW announced its first postgraduate scholarship, the Fran Manning Scholarship in Law for a Gawharshad graduate, in memory of Fran Manning, a dedicated and founding member of our group.
Our members have developed an impressive network of connections and as we start our ninth year, we have appreciated the support of the last three Canadian Ambassadors to Afghanistan, Deborah Lyons, Kenneth Neufeld and Francois Rivest who have met with and communicated with us during their postings in Afghanistan. We have been honoured to meet with Her Excellency Shinkai Karokhail, the Ambassador to Canada from the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan during her posting. This summer we met two incredible Afghan women, members of the High Peace Council of Afghanistan visiting Global Affairs Canada and heard of their experiences first hand.
Our activities are stimulating and rewarding as we continue to learn while enjoying the company and fun of our members, believing that we are making a difference, however small. Join us the first Thursday afternoon of the month! (let us know if daytime is a problem).
UWHAW is also an External Outreach group. Click here to link to this group.
We welcome new and returning members as we carry on this fascinating work.

I was going to do a simple answer to this post left by Andrea at Popular Growth, but it got a bit lengthy and I though others might be able to contribute. So if you are a Florida Gardener, feel free to put in your two cents.
So I have a very stupid stupid question, if you leave the potatoe vine, is it sort of a perennial in your garden? How do you guys maintain everything? Cut it all down sometime in the year, just to refresh them? (considering you don't get snow). I am SO ignorant to gardening in the hotter areas and Im REALLY interested in knowing all about them.
Ok, here is some Florida Gardening 101. We actually do get snow down here, albeit once every 20 years and only a few flurries at most. But I've seen it here. Typically, we get one or two killing frosts. Most non-coastal cities north of Orlando will get frost. These frosts will take out most annuals, especially coleus and impatiens. Saved are the shell gingers, palms, camellias, pansies and snapdragons, which are hardly effected by the cold. Most other perennials simply die to the ground, but come back in the spring. This includes the sweet potato vine, which grows back from the tuber (the sweet potato) underground. The ground rarely freezes, so these plants do tend last a while. Another interesting aspect of gardening down here that Northerners find strange is that we tend to have two mini seasons instead of one year long one. We are currently headed into a dormant period (Mid-July thru August). This mainly effects veggies and annual flowers. They just kind of stop growing. Many veggie gardeners clear every out everything and start again in September. With my perennials, I cut them back somewhat dramatically before or after this dormant period. This year I did it in the beginning of June so my plants would be back in shape by the 4th. I might do it again in September. With the sweet potato vine, I don't cut it back severely, just take clippings to keep it check and looking full. Anyway - hope this answers your question!

Deepshikha De,GWDD, 2ND SEM,ARENA ANIMATION,PARK STREET
Hello everyone, I am Deepshikha,I am a second semester student of GWDD at Arena Animation, Park Street and this is my second blog.
"We can't change where we came from but we can choose where we go from here."- This is a motto that I have implemented into my life after spending a few months at Pinocchio Lab .
Although words are not enough,I have tried my best to put my experience into words. Not only have I learned technical skills, I have also some of the most important lessons in life.
It took us some time to get acquainted with our class mates, but now our bonds of friendship have become much stronger. To be honest, earlier on I would hesitate before asking a fellow class mate for help,but I realized once I put my ego aside,I could reap the benefits. Somnath Sir encourages us to ask questions, we question everything, it is better than blindly believing in things . It is true that we work much harder now, but I can't explain the euphoria I feel after cracking a code that I had been struggling with for hours. Although we work hard, we also have fun,laughing at some joke someone cracked and not taking life too seriously.
Being in the lab always betters my mood. We have a sense of unity, for example when it's someone's birthday in our batch,we do our best to make the day special for him or her. We take pleasure in the simple joys of life.Sir always reminds us that the time we spend together will pass by in a flash, and we should make the most out of our time together.
I have learned to be patient, to carefully analyse a problem rather than simply giving up on it. Sir dislikes empty promises, he tells us to say things, which we can actually do instead of just making empty promises. We have been taught to see the good in people, we have been made to believe, that everyone has potential, we just have to take the courage to find out what we are good at. We have heard stories of students who didn't have money in their pockets for a decent meal, but through hard work and perseverance they have achieved success in their life. These stories are very inspiring, as I feel we take basic amenities in life for granted. We have always had security, a good meal, a roof above our heads, clothes to wear,we never really sit and think about the fact that not everyone is lucky as us. I can say with conviction, we have all become better versions of ourselves in the few months we have spent together in Pinocchio Lab. Some of my classmates have gone through a drastic change, they were shy and scared at fast, they have become more confident and now smile often.
We even have our own nicknames, and have reached that comfortable stage where we can crack inside jokes which only we understand.
Sometimes seniors come to visit Sir, we learn about their experiences and how the industry is shark infested, and there is no room for sentimentality or emotion. The seniors are a living proof of what we will achieve if we keep working hard . Sometimes, we just sit and listen to Sir's stories, he is a treasure box of experiences, we have so much to learn from him.
Time slips through our fingers,it is hard to imagine that I have only a few months left at Pinocchio Lab.I do not know where life will take me or which company I will end up working for but I know the memories that I have made here are memories of a life time.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I wish the readers a life full of beautiful memories too.

I have a brick wall with a gas heater installed within the wall. I want to change the colour of the wall. Will my acrylic interior paint suffice? It is a low sheen wall paint, water wash up. I'm a bit worried about the heat from the heater.

I'd be a little afraid of that type paint since the wall may get too hot. I'd probably stick with paint make specifically for fireplaces or heat resistant. I'd ask someone in the paint department of one of the home improvement stores. The paint you're describing may start peeling and you may end up with a mess on your hands.

There are people who go through life looking for acceptance and affirmation from men. This proves to be emotionally draining and most times, a futile quest. We were born to love and be loved. It's devastating when the very people who are supposed to love us the most, reject us the most.
The good news is:
God the Father, the maker of the universe, has adopted you, made you his own, a joint heir with His only son, Jesus. These are not mere words spoken from an ancient book, this is reality. God has made a way through His son Jesus, for all of us to be His sons and daughters.
Don't believe the lies of satan. He wants us to believe that God relates to us like man. He will never reject us. As a good father, He knows that we need companionship. That's why He gave us His Spirit to be with us always. God with us and in us.
Trust the Spirit of God within you, that He will fulfill your desires in life.
Don't you believe that God knows you are longing for love and companionship?
The blessings of God don't add sorrow to your life. This is how you can tell if something is from God or not. God's way will lead to freedom and blessings, not bondage, sorrow and confusion. The very God that we run from and reject at times, is the One with all the answers that we are in search of. It is a true saying that everything you need can be found in Christ. Only believe and trust in His holy ways.

SCOTUS Agrees with Kavanaugh
- In Judge Brett Kavanaugh's 12 years on the D.C. Circuit, he has been reversed by the Supreme Court only once, and then only partially.
- The Supreme Court has adopted Judge Kavanaugh's reasoning in at least 13 cases, including cases on the Fourth Amendment, separation of powers, and administrative law.
- Leading legal scholars have called Judge Kavanaugh "one of the most learned judges in America" and "a true intellectual – a leading thinker."
In 12 years on the D.C. Circuit, Judge Brett Kavanaugh has distinguished himself as an astute and independent judge and as a thought leader on the federal bench. His careful study of the Constitution, statutory text, and Supreme Court precedent has led courts around the country to rely on his opinions. His influence extends to the Supreme Court, which has adopted his reasoning in more than a dozen cases.
Kavanaugh's Influence on the Supreme Court
As liberal constitutional scholar and Yale Law School professor Akhil Reed Amar explained, "Judge Kavanaugh commands wide and deep respect among scholars, lawyers, judges, and justices." He noted that many of "Kavanaugh's biggest ideas have found their way into Supreme Court opinions." Highly cited statutory interpretation expert William Eskridge, also a professor at Yale, called Judge Kavanaugh "one of the most learned judges in America on a variety of issues, ranging from theories of statutory interpretation to separation of powers." Professor Abbe Gluck agreed, describing Judge Kavanaugh as "a true intellectual – a leading thinker and writer on the subjects of statutory interpretation and federal courts."
Judge Kavanaugh has an excellent record at the Supreme Court. He has written almost 200 controlling opinions. The Supreme Court has reversed him only once, and then only partially. In at least 13 cases, the Supreme Court adopted Judge Kavanaugh's reasoning, including in the following three of his dissents.
Kavanaugh's Reasoning Adopted by the Supreme Court
In a case involving whether a warrant was required to place a GPS transmitter on a suspect's car, Judge Kavanaugh determined that the D.C. Circuit should have considered whether a Fourth Amendment search occurred when the transmitter was installed on the car. In dissent to an order denying a rehearing, Judge Kavanaugh said that the court should have taken the suspect's property rights into account when it considered whether the Fourth Amendment permitted installation of the device without a warrant. On appeal to the Supreme Court, Justice Antonin Scalia's majority opinion relied on this property-based approach to determine that a Fourth Amendment search did occur.
In another case, the Supreme Court considered whether the method for appointing and removing members of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board violated the Appointment Clause and separation of powers doctrine. The statute provided that the members were appointed, and could be removed for cause, by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Two members of the D.C. Circuit panel held that the board's structure was constitutional. Judge Kavanaugh, however, dissented, looking to the text and original meaning of the Constitution and determining that the board's structure violated the separation of powers principle. He noted that the "Framers of our Constitution took great care to ensure that power in our system was separated into three Branches, not concentrated in the Legislative Branch; that there were checks and balances among the three Branches; and that one individual would be ultimately responsible and accountable for the exercise of executive power." While the board was designed to be outside of presidential control, Judge Kavanaugh cautioned that our "constitutional structure is premised ... on the notion that such unaccountable power is inconsistent with individual liberty." The majority opinion for the Supreme Court cited Judge Kavanaugh's dissent repeatedly in holding the board's structure unconstitutional.
In another dissent from a denial of rehearing, Judge Kavanaugh concluded that the EPA exceeded its statutory authority in writing greenhouse gas emissions rules that defined "air pollutant" too broadly. "As a court," he wrote, "it is not our job to make the policy choices and set the statutory boundaries, but it is emphatically our job to carefully but firmly enforce the statutory boundaries." The Supreme Court vindicated Judge Kavanaugh's reasoning, agreeing that the EPA's definition of "air pollutant" was too expansive.

Justice for Liz
How Kenyan police have handled the brutal gang rape of a Busia County schoolgirl has sparked popular outrage and prompted many to question the effectiveness of Kenya's laws in deterring sexual assault.
The assault and the consequences
The 16 year old girl, only identified as Liz, was walking home from her grandfather's funeral when a group of six men beat and raped her. They later dumped the bleeding and unconscious teenager in a sewage ditch. She later developed a fistula, causing her to leak stool and urine, due to the brutal nature of the repeated raping. She is also now confined to a wheelchair because of an injury to her spinal cord as a result of the men throwing her into the 20-foot pit.
After surviving a night in the ditch, Liz was rescued by local residents and later identified three of her alleged rapists. Police responded by ordering the three men to cut grass around the police station, and later set them free.
Liz did everything right. She screamed for help during her attack but though her neighbours heard, nobody helped her. She reported her attack to the police promptly and identified her attackers. She went to the police before she went to hospital, and the police stupidly asked her to go and shower before she went to the hospital. Yet, three months after her attack, Liz was in hospital struggling with the psychological and physical trauma of her attack, while her attackers remained free.
The Avaaz campaign for Liz
Liz's horror story has sent shockwaves through Kenya and now politicians and the police are under pressure to respond. But women's groups in Kenya say nothing will truly change unless the government is put under the global spotlight. They are calling on us urgently to help ensure justice is done and that Liz's nightmare marks a turning-point in Kenya's rape epidemic.
The Avaaz campaign has already generated more than one million signatures – that is more than one million voices demanding justice for Liz. The petition is directed at Kenya's Inspector General of Police and calls on him "to deliver justice for Liz including the immediate arrest and prosecution of her rapists and full disciplinary action for the police officers who dismally failed to handle her case."
Supporting Avaaz
The Wishing Well was established in 2010 to offer children in out-of-home care, such as foster care and residential care, a range of healing and treatment options usually not accessible as a free therapy in mainstream health.
The Wishing Well raises funds to enable children and young people to access developmentally-appropriate and trauma-informed treatments shown to be highly effective in dealing with severe trauma and neglect. These therapies respond to the unique needs of each child and young person.
The Wishing Well is a not-for-profit incorporated charity organisation, established and managed by people seeking to improve outcomes for children and young people in out-of-home care and their families.
The Wishing Well operates ethically, effectively and empathically with a view to achieving quality outcomes and a satisfying working environment, and as such we support such organisations as Avaaz as they encompass similar ideals.
The Wishing Well gratefully receives donations, funding and resources through bequests, corporate partnerships, fundraising events, grants, online donations and other fund raising activities. Please see our website for more information:
How can we help?
Nobody has been brought to justice — not the rapists, and not the police. We can help change that. Sign now to get justice for Liz and help make sure no girl anywhere suffers this violence:
Liz is a pseudonym given by the news outlet that broke her story and has since been widely used.

Family Flats and Second Dwellings
Family flats, in addition to the main dwelling, are permitted provided that they comply with the following restrictions:
- They must comply with the relevant bulk, location and relocation requirements for a dwelling on that site.
- They can be no more than 70 square metres in gross floor area (excluding any garage). Note: Gross floor area is measured from the exterior face of the exterior walls.
- They can only be lived in by someone of the same immediate family as someone in the main dwelling on the site.
In the Rural zone, the number of dwellings you can have on a site depends on the area of land held in that Certificate of Title. For example, in the Outer Plains, you are entitled to one dwelling per 20ha, so if a Certificate of Title contains 40ha, then two dwellings are permitted, provided that the relevant bulk and location requirements are met.
Please note that once the first dwelling on a site has been erected, a development contribution will be charged on the building consent for each subsequent dwelling on that site. The development contribution is detailed in the Council's Long Term Plan.
In Living zones, only one dwelling and one family flat may be erected on a site as a permitted activity. You may be able to apply for resource consent to erect additional dwellings.
We welcome your enquiries either in person at our Rolleston Headquarters, or phone the Duty Planner (03) 347 2868 or e-mail email@example.com

Subject Area
After studying photography at college, I then progressed to university and from there I began teaching in 2010. So, education has been my career for almost a decade and photography has been my life-long love.
Here at the College, we have a great environment, with a huge darkroom (which is where you will most likely find me) and a great studio space as well. We also have an excellent teaching team with really experienced and friendly lecturers who I love working alongside.
The Hinckley Campus has a great atmosphere and is a really great place to work and study. Previous students of HND Photography have gone on to achieve some amazing things; for instance, a recent student achieved a place in the final of the Sony Student of the Year Competition which is a global contest. The HND in Photography can also be a great way to gain your full degree as we offer a top-up year through Coventry University.

Rīga, Preses nams, 1997.
Poems from literary magazine "Descant", No. 124, issued in spring 2004. Poems are translated by Margita Gailitis.
The clearing speaks
I wouldn't open my mouth if I wasn't sure
you felt the same.
I'm confused. Full of shame. I don't know
what is old in me, what is new.
Naked. Exposed. Empty.
Cleaned out. Guilty of change.
Maybe relieved?
Roots no longer draw juices,
don't tear my flesh like cloth
as they dig deeper and deeper,
stretch further and further.
Trunks no longer stand tall
like farmers in revolt.
Magnificent torsos!
They sleep in a warehouse now,
wait their turn at the saw
to be sliced like bread.
I worry, worry about the pine,
the pine that grew
close to my heart.
Don't tremble dear, don't fear,
you were not cut for kindling
— I tried to calm her and myself —
but to be the foundation of a room.
I hope so. I do hope so.
I must now close my eyes against the sun,
for I no longer have shelter of foliage
to offer me shade
like a young girl offers a green jug
by a well.
Shade, which once allowed mushrooms to grow.
O, what a passion
for mushrooms, what desire!
Even the smartest ladies
drove here from Riga,
and on finding the chanterelle places,
their joy was as great
as that of gold-diggers finding gold.
In vain
I muse about lost days
when I was still a forest.
I find myself strangely still — I'm startled
when I spot some cranberries! What if they're
drops of my blood?
And the morels — scabs over wounds?
As I begin life anew,
I'm riddled with tree stumps
like a mouth full
of dead teeth.
With holes, scarred, as if by sulphuric acid,
disfigured by remains of fires
where the last branches were burned.
I can only accept with wonder
all the new created in me —
pines the size of dwarfs,
elbow-length small birch
young willows, maples, linden, bird-cherries…
An oak like a salad…
Flowers of many colors, a robe
I throw over my nakedness,
I survey my surroundings,
the hospital ward
where I've been near death.
Is it a loss? Or a victory?
Already tomorrow I'll escape into words
like a partisan escapes into woods.
At the horizon, a gold sun glitters,
but far away, so very far.
In the dense pine stand of thought
I'll burrow into the darkness of a bunker.
I don't know love, how many days.
I don't know love, how many nights.
By a candle as by a bonfire
I'll sing the oldest of songs
about friends fallen in battle
a loaded pen at their shoulder.
I'll escape into words before
I'm discarded like an empty bottle.
Taking with me — only cigarettes
and a flower pot with a bit of earth
from my homeland.
A heavy wheel turns nearby.
I must get off the road.
But I can't get off the road
because I am the road.
In the evenings water lilies
close their shutters
and lock themselves in.
They also are afraid
of the dark.
They also don't know
that for the dark
there is no obstacle.
Riga in water
In water. In water
guides, tourists, brick walls and musicians,
knights and d-jays,
cobblestones and asphalt,
church spires, gutters and internets,
punks and brothers of the sword,
cloister nuns and night moths —
in water. In water
bastions, church organs,
guildhalls, town halls, city halls and computers,
the Cours, wars, choirs and graveyards,
markets, bridges, tanks and harpsichords,
banks and firing squads, fear and independence,
ramparts, shop keepers, dams, and sand hills,
ships' masts and water —
in water.
"Riga conforms to anthropogeographic logic" —
a blurb from the encyclopedia,
but I say:
the most important thing in this place
is breathing
Riga is in water.
Riga herself is in water.
Riga herself is in water.
In water, in water.
Centuries sink like an axe into water.
Time is killed and thrown into water.
The people drawing water, themselves – into water,
The people pouring water, themselves – into water.
It is fall again.
Eternity signs off on water.
That's why I say:
The most important thing in this place
is breathing.
Breath — full of wind, the head of a new poet,
breath — wind dancing in swirling skirts,
wind — in revolving doors of concert halls,
wind — in windpipes, vocal chords, voiced consonants,
in vowels, in rhymes.
In the tremor of musical triangles,
jingling brass trim of Liv shawls — wind —
wind created by theatre applause.
Breath — of English horns, Russian concertinas,
troubadours, crooners, eternal showmen…
Music, music — wind —
in opera curtains, bagpipes, bassoons
willow pipes, bugles, trumpets,
lamentation and exultation
in castles and gatehouses — wind —
breath, soul, respiration,
above the water the spirit takes deep breaths
with the lungs of a Christmas choir.
Gills expand like the Dom Cathedral organ.
Breath expands insanely
through the abyss of lost centuries.
"Riga conforms to anthropogeographical logic"
But I know
the most important thing in this place
is breathing,
it is fall again.
Eternity signs off on water:
All around hills of sand.
Living sand.
Riga herself in water.
Living water.
Living Riga.
Mother, father and I
Sometimes almost, almost
I believe the newspaper babble,
that in place of a father I have – NATO
in place of a mother I have — the UN,
and to support me as an orphan
soon in my palm will be an EURO.
Then I head for the woods much greener
than the greenest flag of the greenest party.
I head for the fields more colorful
than the most colorful market.
I roam the hills
that spill tenderly into each other
like the earth and the sky,
like mother and father,
when they were young like I.
Then I sit at the edge of a river
and the river becomes my mother — as warm as milk
as warm as a tear on a cheek.
Then I look at the sky
and my father approaches me —
as he did at the railway station long ago,
when I came home on holidays.
I am with my mother, and I will be even then
when I will be covered by the green turf
which, like a blanket, slides off for a moment.
I am with my father and I will be even then
when this watch will stop in my chest
like a used foreign auto.
That's why I scream like a child
don't bother me with your orphan's courts!
I'm not an orphan!
Don't find a place for me
in an orphanage!
It resembles too much a farm
where feelings are groomed for slaughter
and thoughts are intended for export
to some orphan country.

You now have access to the exclusive Camp Electric magazine. Each year students receive this limited edition magazine and now you can download your own copy for free!
Do you need to hit the reset button? Between the holiday season and the start of a new year, January is seen by many as an opportunity for new beginnings. As you kick off this new year, or even just as you look to make a change in your life, we want to provide a few helpful tips for young musicians. Some of these qualify as career advice, while other points may be more personal and wellness-related. No matter what, we believe these helpful tips for young musicians can assist just about anyone.
Get Back in the Groove ASAP
If you're reading this at the beginning of the year, you've just survived six weeks of stuffing your face and putting yourself on standby mode at school or work. Now that you've made it to a new calendar year, it's time to get back to work. The longer you put off working on your music, the more rust you will have to remove whenever you do come back. We would hope that most musicians wouldn't allow for too much time to pass, but we know the appeal to laziness is a hard one to shake this time of year. The first of our helpful tips for young musicians is to ignore the temptation of sleeping in and get back in the groove as soon as possible.
Set Goals for Yourself
New Year's resolutions don't always pan out, but setting goals for yourself is an essential part of healthy growth. That's true for an entrepreneur, a student, or just about anyone else. Think about what immediate goals you would like to complete as a musician. Do you want to play your first live show? Record an original song? How about something as simple as learning to nail a difficult solo? Whatever goals you choose to set, just make them desirable and within reach. We're not asking for you to reinvent the wheel.
Forget About Past Mistakes
People often overplay the significance of the clock striking midnight on New Year's Eve. There's nothing inherently magical about January 1st. It simply means you have to buy a new calendar and learn to start writing the correct date on any checks you make out. One aspect of this change we believe is worth remembering, however, is that you can forget about your past mistakes. Learn from what you did wrong and move on. You don't have to be that same person today. For some people that advice might make more sense as it pertains to relationships, school, or family life. Regardless of your circumstance, today is a new day, so you better act like it.
Try Something New - Helpful Tips for Young Musicians
It's time for new things. Setting goals for yourself is one way that will play out, but there's always room for more change. Take a risk this year with your music. Maybe that means it's time for you to learn a new instrument or perhaps you should start listening to different music so that those influences can come out in your own sound. If you're not continuing to challenge yourself and press forward, you're putting yourself at risk for getting bored or complacent. Make a change here and there to see how things go. If you quickly learn these changes are untenable, you can always change things back. The point is for you to keep challenging yourself.
Educate Yourself
Do you have enough knowledge? There is always something to learn or a new method to try out. Many of us who get into music may not have the most pertinent facts until much later on in our journeys. You may be self taught (and perhaps you've been successful through this method) or you may have learned through an online course, but how much time have you spent learning from someone who is an expert? Have you ever tried a group class or one-on-one lessons in your area? In what area do you feel inadequate? One of the most helpful tips for young musicians we can give this year is to educate yourself.
Practice is Always a Necessity
Of course practice is important. You've likely been told this dozens of times by your instructor, your friends, or your parents. Here's the thing: practice never gets less important. Even a musician who has been playing for a decade can find himself rusty if he lets enough time slip by. Like we mentioned before about not letting that holiday hangover ruin your abilities for this year, don't make time for laziness this year. Be consistent and disciplined.
Networking is Important
The world might seem more fair if there were an all-seeing power who decided your career based on talent or personality. While those are naturally part of the process, the truth is that many people find work based on who they know. This is just as true in the world of music as it is in business and beyond. Make connections this year, whether they be at school, in the local music scene, at your church, or at some industry event. No one will know who you are if you never make your presence known.
Keep Perspective on Your Progress
Around the time a year ends or begins, we often think back on what we have accomplished and what we hope to do in the future. Instead of focusing on those positive achievements, it's sadly much easier to look to our mistakes. As we begin a new year, one of the healthiest and most helpful tips for young musicians is to keep perspective on what you are doing. Monitor your progression and take notice of major milestones. You will probably not be the most amazing bass player the world has ever seen today, but continual effort and incremental success could put you closer to that goal. Don't lose heart just because you aren't at your full potential today.
Stay Humble - Helpful Tips for Young Musicians
While you are keeping track of your progress as a musician, don't allow for your ego to grow unchecked. There are few things in this world uglier than someone who thinks he is better than others. You can, of course, find plenty of examples of musicians who think they are God's gift to mankind, but these types are usually short lived and hated by many of their peers. Humility is an underrated characteristic in the entertainment industry, but it's also a healthy attitude to have as a young artist. Try to strike the balance of always treating others with respect while also not losing sight of your goals as a musician.
Make Priorities and Stick to Them
Regardless of whether you sell a million albums or just a few hundred, you will find that the industry has an ability to pull you in several directions at once. People will try to use you or undervalue your work, others will love what you do but expect too much. If you're going to survive, you need to figure out which things matter most to you. Is it your family? Your faith? Your bank account? When faced with a big decision or opportunity, examine how the choice will affect what matters most to you. And as an artist who's just starting out, make priorities for your time. How much will you focus on practicing your instrument or song writing? How much time does that leave for everything else? Thinking through these things now might just save you from a little heartache in the future.
We hope these helpful tips for young musicians have made an impact on you and will help you to make the changes you need to make this year. We mentioned before how important it is to challenge yourself, try new things, and learn. A great way to do this is by attending a summer music camp. At Camp Electric, we bring in the best musicians from today's top Christian bands for a summer camp unlike any other. Find out how you can be our next student by clicking on the link below.

The Senior Housing Redevelopment Site in Elko New Market, Scott County, Minnesota, was redeveloped by Scott County Community Development Agency (CDA) as the Market Village Apartments and the new Elko New Market Branch of the Scott County Library System. The Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) Program of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) assisted Scott County CDA and its consultant, Barr Engineering, to complete environmental investigation and implement response actions to facilitate redevelopment.
Environmental issues and the cleanup process
The site, about 6.7 acres in size, was comprised of a former residential property and an adjacent property that was a former city dump. The former dump, about 0.5 acre in size, was in the northeastern part of the site. Investigations of the former dump identified up to 8 feet of fill and debris comprised of glass, brick, concrete, ceramic, paper, metal, plastic, rubber and ash. The central and south-central portion of the former residential property included two areas of surface debris.
Cleanup actions conducted in 2011 included excavating debris and contaminated soils from the former dump and removing and disposing of surficial debris from the former residential property. In spring 2012, a small volume of lead-impacted soil and debris was excavated from one of the surficial debris areas. Approximately 4,786 tons of dump materials and contaminated soils were excavated from the former dump and disposed at an approved landfill. Groundwater sampling conducted in the vicinity of the former city dump did not identify compounds above levels of concern. Funding sources for remedial actions included the Department of Employment and Economic Development, Metropolitan Council, and Scott County CDA.
Redevelopment of the site
The site has been redeveloped as the Market Village Apartments, a senior residential complex with underground and above-ground parking, which opened March 1, 2012, with address 100 J Roberts Way, Elko New Market. The eastern portion of the redevelopment, at 110 J Roberts Way, includes the new Elko New Market Branch of the Scott County Library System. The library opened on April 11, 2012.
Environmental and economic benefits
The new Market Village Apartments and the new Elko New Branch Library provide a continuing positive economic benefit to Elko New Market by providing essential senior housing and community access to learning opportunities.
Assurances received
