WASHINGTON — Indian prisons are "a national disgrace" where 11 people have died and hundreds have escaped or tried to kill themselves the past three years, government officials said Tuesday, likening the conditions to the U.S. military's mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
Earl Devaney, the Interior Department's inspector general, painted a grim picture for the Senate Finance Committee. His report, capping months of investigation, found at least 11 fatalities, 236 suicide attempts and 632 escapes since the change of administrations in January 2001.
Its release was timed to coincide with the opening Tuesday of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian.
The Interior Department's Bureau of Indian Affairs had 2,080 people in 70 Indian jails, detention centers and other correctional facilities as of mid-2002, according to the latest figures from the Justice Department. One jail in six held twice its recommended maximum of prisoners.
Problems chronicled by Devaney included mixing of juveniles with adults that resulted in the raping of a youth; poorly trained and inadequate numbers of staff; "countless" assaults on detention officers; and broken toilets, showers and sinks.
'A matter of will'
"I reject the notion that it's simply a matter of money. I think it's a matter of will," he said in answering senators' questions. Congress has increased BIA's yearly budget for law enforcement, including prisons and other detention facilities, to $170 million from $95 million five years ago.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who chairs the Finance Committee, described the events in Iraq as a reminder that the way people are jailed is a measure of the United States' commitment to human rights.
"I think the IG has it exactly right when he says these jails are a national disgrace," Grassley said. "The IG notes that the conditions are often worse than those in Third World countries. Once again our government has failed to uphold its responsibilities to Native Americans."
Grassley, however, called it "not a problem of this administration, or the previous administration — this is a problem of an entrenched bureaucracy that isn't getting the job done."
Dave Anderson, the Interior assistant secretary who heads the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said his agency was trying hard to correct long-standing problems. "We are making progress, but recognize a lot more work needs to be done," he said.

I always loved this surprising version of the song. Gayle really knew when and how to scream. My jaw dropped, back then.
I really love some of the so-called "girl group" hits, including this one. I love the spare production. The cheesy organ break is perfection.
Chrissie Hynde is a marvelous singer, and she shows some of her stuff on this rendition of the song, with Burt ticklin' the ivories in the background. (I love Adele, but her 2008 version is somehow far inferior.)

Browse our range of publications including performance and financial statement audit reports, assurance review reports, information reports and annual reports.
The audit covered major program elements within the Department of Primary Industries and Energy and Environment Australia that are managed:
- directly by DPIE or Environment Australia;
- through the One-Stop-Shop project assessment process administered by the States/Territories; or
- by non-government organisations.
The purpose of the audit was to examine and benchmark the administrative processes established for these programs. The primary focus of the audit was to draw on the best elements of past practice (particularly in relation to programs involving the One-Stop-Shop) and highlight any shortcomings so that the risks to program effectiveness and accountability could be addressed in the implementation of the Natural Heritage Trust.
The objective of the audit was to examine how efficiently and effectively the Australian Customs Service administers the Passenger Movement Charge, including the interim arrangements with airlines. The audit was intended to provide guidance to ACS on key issues and areas of risk it should address in developing the system supporting the collection of PMC. Audit criteria were determined to consider how well revenue was protected and how well the administrative arrangements were operating. The audit sought to identify areas for improvement in the formulation of longer-term arrangements.

Blackstone Seeks Buyers for Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino
Blackstone Group, the global investment firm based in US, has explored strategic options for the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino in Las Vegas, including a possible sale of the strip property. The Cosmopolitan is a two-tower complex which cost more than $3.9 billion to build, opened in 2010.
Blackstone is working with Deutsche Bank AG and PJT Partners Inc. to solicit interest from potential buyers for the resort, which could fetch $4 billion or more. Blackstone acquired the hotel and casino for $1.73 billion in 2014 from Deutsche Bank, which gained ownership through a crisis-related loan default in 2008.

PointsBet Partners with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment As Official, Exclusive Gaming Partner for Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Mammoth & Pepsi Center
PointsBet, a premier global sportsbook operator, and Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, LLC ("KSE") announced their entrance into a new, multi-year partnership making PointsBet the official and exclusive partner of the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association, Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League, Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League, and their home arena, Pepsi Center. The agreement spans across the entire gaming category, including retail & online sports betting, daily fantasy, online casino, and free-to-play games. As part of the deal, PointsBet has also been named an official sports betting partner of KSE's Altitude TV and Altitude Sports Radio, which will feature PointsBet data integration.
"PointsBet is renowned within the gaming industry for product innovation and its unique PointsBetting product, as well as for having the fastest app in the marketplace," KSE EVP & Chief Operating Officer Matt Hutchings said. "Sports fans are hungry for the added dimension that fantasy sports and gaming add to their experience. We know that Nuggets, Avs, and Mammoth fans will be excited to have the opportunity to engage more deeply with their favorite teams via PointsBet. PointsBet demonstrated just how much they value Denver and the Rocky Mountain Region, when they chose to locate their United States headquarters here in Colorado. They recognize, as do we, that Denver is a fast-growing and dynamic city home to some of the most passionate sports fans in the world."
"It was instant from day one there were shared values between the Kroenke Sports & Entertainment team and PointsBet, with a clear focus for putting our fans and customers first. We've long stated that our goal is to become synonymous with Colorado sports betting, and this exclusive partnership with our hometown teams in the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Mammoth, plus premium entertainment spaces within their playing arena, is a momentous step in that process," noted Johnny Aitken, CEO of PointsBet USA. "We have defined ourselves via our proprietary, in-house technology on delivering the fastest and easiest sports betting experience in the USA, and Denver sports fans in-arena or at home watching games on the Altitude Sports Network will be provided many ways to elevate their viewing experience engaging with our market-leading PointsBet Sportsbook app."
As part of the multi-year deal, KSE will unveil a new in-arena destination at Pepsi Center to be live for the 2020-21 seasons, featuring three distinct areas: the PointsBet Sports Bar, an outdoor patio extension of the PointsBet Sports Bar, and the PointsBet Premium Club. Pepsi Center's club level will also undergo a rebrand for the 2020-21 seasons, now to be called the "PointsBet Club Level" featuring signage from the sportsbook, brand ambassador placements, and more. KSE will also unveil significantly enhanced in-arena WiFi for the 2020-21 seasons, complementing PointsBet's market-leading speed and ease of use across every customer touchpoint within the PointsBet app. On gamedays, PointsBet will display prominent, broadcast-visible branding and signage, including on the stanchions at Denver Nuggets games and on the ice and dasher boards for Avalanche contests.
Additional details of the partnership include PointsBet being named an official sports betting partner of KSE's Altitude TV and Altitude Sports Radio, with PointsBet data to be integrated into both pre-game and in-game features. PointsBet, Altitude TV, and Altitude Sports Radio will work together to enhance consumer education and encourage responsible gambling via integrated content. The Altitude Sports Radio relationship will strictly encompass the Nuggets and Avalanche, while the Altitude TV relationship will cover Mammoth lacrosse as well.
The partnership is soon to be bolstered with the release of the upcoming KSE mobile app, designed to dramatically improve the experience of planning and attending an event at Pepsi Center. Upon launch, PointsBet will be the app's title sponsor and will be prominently incorporated via digital media and branding, social posts, push notifications, and more. PointsBet-specific push notifications and a PointsBet digital presence will also be featured in the respective apps of the Nuggets, Avalanche, and Mammoth. PointsBet will work with the Nuggets and Avalanche to further enhance fan engagement and experience via alumni appearances and events.
Though not yet available in the state of Colorado, PointsBet is expected to soon release its market-leading sports wagering app for sports bettors within the Centennial State. Those interested can currently participate in the company's free-to-play challenge, the PointsBet Pick 6, a contest-style game that allows sports fans across the country to experience PointsBet's premier service and technology while presenting an opportunity to win $25,000 every week. A true hometown sportsbook for the Colorado consumer, PointsBet is proud to have recently began construction on their new flagship US headquarters, based in the LoDo area of downtown Denver. The premier global sportsbook operator will also have a retail presence at Double Eagle Hotel & Casino in Cripple Creek, CO.

The Munsterlander is a pointing dog of spaniel type used for hunting small game. Its origins go back to the black and white bird and hawking dog of the Middle Ages. In the past, dogs of this type were found mainly in the Munsterland region, but today, the breed is seen in many parts of Europe and North America. In Germany, active regional groups can be found in almost all provinces.
There are two varieties of Munsterlander: Large Munsterlander and Small Munsterlander. Both belong to the family of the longhaired German Pointing Dogs. In the past, breeders of Longhaired German Pointers viewed the Munsterlanders as black and white copies of their breed. After the German Longhair Club finally excluded the black color variety from breeding in 1909, the Large Munsterland Club (Verband Grosse Münsterländer e.V.) was founded in 1919 and the breeding program started.
The Large Munsterlander has a strong muscular body. According to the breed standard the ideal height at the shoulders is between 58 and 65 cm. The coat is long, dense and well feathered on back of front and hind legs, and on tail, while on head it is short and smooth. The color is white with black patches and spots or blue roan. The Large Munsterlander's temperament is described as lively and dependable.
The development of the Small Munsterlander started in the middle of the 19th century. After the change of the German hunting law which introduced systematic cultivation of the game stock, the demand for purebred hunting dogs increased dramatically which, in turn, encouraged the breeding of new German Pointing Dogs. At the end of 19th century, several German canine enthusiasts and hunters started a breeding program that included bloodlines from the red Hanovarian Heath Hound, German Spaniel, and a pointing Wachtelhund ("Heidewachtel"). Their efforts produced the Small Munsterlander, a dog with excellent pointing and retrieving abilities and a great sense of smell. The Small Munsterlander Club (Verband für Kleine Münsterländer Vorstehhunde was founded in 1912.
The Small Munsterlander is intelligent eager to learn, calm and friendly. Although the breed has preserved strong prey instincts, these dogs make good family companions ad love the company of children.

Lately, our cockapoo, Sophie, has been joining my daughter and me for storytime. She thinks she's one of "the girls" and snuggles right in. At first I thought she might be a distraction since my daughter struggles with reading and would rather be doing ANYTHING else. However, she's turned out to be a real asset.
For starters, when Sophie curls up with us, story time is extra warm and cozy – perfect for bedtime! Because she likes being with us, she's also very still and relaxed. This makes my daughter calm and relaxed as well. Now instead of my having to remind my daughter to settle down for stories, she reminds me!
Sophie is also remarkably attentive. She perks her ears and looks like she's listening. Sometimes she even pokes her nose right into the book. "Is Sophie learning to read?" my daughter asks. "Maybe," I answer, "but you certainly are!"
Since Sophie has joined us for story time, my daughter's reading skills have improved. In seeming leaps and bounds she's advanced past early readers, to early chapter books. Now we're taking turns reading paragraphs from THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE series. I can't wait to see what she picks next. Whatever it is, I know Sophie will enjoy it. So will I.
Hooray for dogs who like to read. Hooray for books. And hooray for little girls who are learning to read.

radio shack on Mesa in El Paso lies--a phone that wasted my time
I went into youtube and it says it doesnt support streaming media..also it wont go into blogger as it says "bad security certificate"..just like on my cheap phone.
What is the point of having a keyboard if I cant write? I only bought the thing out of necessity.
I called Virgin and they were pissed..they told me she HAS to take it back at the store becuase she outright lied, also I found out that the phone I saw advertised was 80 and still is..the lady lied and talked me into a more expensive phone. I am appalled at Radio Shack of that quality. I depend on this company to have geeky employees (as in techy people) who know more than everyone else about products..what cuz its near the border, employ the pregnant Mex chick? They better employ someone else becuz this bitch lies. Now I have to wait another day to do what I was going to do today. She wasted my time and I am sure when I go back she is going to try to waste my money and time by saying that I have to send the phone back..thats not what Virgin says about it.
I will post the way this is handled tomorrow. Radio Shack will get complaints if its not handled correctly. I dont have time for this I am a homeless activist and I depend on service people to get their sh*t together and give me what I need NOT SERVE THEM AND GET THEM THE COMMISION THEY WANT.

It always happens when you least need it doesn't it. and you need it among the least of all. Murphy's Law.ReplyDelete
Mobile phones to me seem almost synonymous with cons and con artists. Charges that keep racking up because you can't get hold of someone on the other side of it to cancel it, extra charges as with my neighbour C., who after he almost bought the one he wanted, was told it's compulsory to spend another 50 on...whatever the hell it was that was part of the 'deal'. I avoid it all like the plague - I'd only lose it anyway - a phone, as well as my temper - but clearly it's an
essential item for you. I do have a landlne of course, but it's ALL compromised now, as far as I'm concerned.
And the same with mobiles, and not just because you can be tracked.
This is a very unfortunate event, and if it was me i would be wondering about the motivation behind it. Would they they cheat one of their own so readily?
Those who care and can possibly assist you in any way, will, in any case.
i dont think it was anything related to gang stalking..i think it is just the way our society is. The lesson is that this is why TI's seem to go off on regular daily bs like this becuz they are basically compartmentalizing the horrors that have been done to them that are so unfathomable. All that as well as the regular hassles of life.ReplyDelete

That's all they do is lie and fabricate tall tales. I'm sure you've noticed how they love to turnaround and paint YOU as the one who lied. And they're proud of that, for some odd reason. It's like "hee hee hee we're a bunch of smug idiots tormenting you hee hee hee". So proud of that, never wanting to actually be anything other than a bunch of lame schmucks.ReplyDelete

DEAR ABBY: My brother lives in a different state, and every year he comes "home" for a week. I'm one of six siblings who live in the area, but "Jim" always stays with us. After the first time he stayed here he said, "I'll just keep your key for next year."
I love my brother, but this means giving him my bedroom for a week or more. We have no other bedrooms, so I have to share with my husband and get no sleep. I'm in my 70s, and after a week with no sleep I feel awful.
I have hinted to Jim about him staying with his son, but he says "no." The other siblings don't offer because he is so critical. Everything we do has to be his way.
I really need to tell him he must stay elsewhere, but I can't seem to find the right words. My siblings say just tell him. What should I do? -- NEEDS MY SLEEP
DEAR NEEDS SLEEP: Just tell him! Permit me to suggest a few phrases: "Jim, you will have to make other arrangements when you come to town because you can no longer stay with us. Going without sleep for a week while you use my bed is affecting my health, so please return our house key. We love you and would like to visit with you while you're here, and we hope you understand."
Do not feel guilty for saying any of it because you have been more than generous to your brother.Read more in: Family & Parenting | Health & Safety

Could You Cut Your Fingers Off to Save Your Life?
From an AP story in The Bellingham Herald:
A [Washington state] fisherman had two of his fingertips reattached after cutting them off to free himself from a sinking boat, his employer said Tuesday.
[William] Messenger, 51, cut his trapped fingertips with a pocket knife just minutes before his future son-in-law, Jarrod Todd, arrived with help and tools, Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Rick Scott said.

BANCF believes strongly in educating our future workforce and, for many years, has presented scholarships annually to students in Building Construction at Santa Fe College and the University of Florida totaling over $100,000. Scholarships are available for students who want to pursue a career in construction. Criteria for scholarships vary according to the specific scholarship and can include scholastic achievement, special talent, financial need, and a commitment to pursue a degree in construction or related field.
Through the Santa Fe College Foundation, Inc., BANCF has established four scholarship funds in memory of BANCF Members who took great interest in making sure opportunities existed to study in the construction field. They are the A.W. Fletcher Memorial Scholarship Fund, the Gene Gerber Memorial Scholarship Fund, the Charles R. Perry Memorial Scholarship Fund, and the Ron Carpenter Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Scholarships will be available to graduating seniors from Alachua, Bradford, Dixie, Gilchrist, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, and Taylor counties, and any 2nd year student in the Building Construction Program at SF who plans to pursue a degree in building construction at Santa Fe College. The amount of each scholarship will vary. The application process for Fall Scholarships is now open. Click here for more information.
The Building Construction program at Santa Fe College provides construction management training for entry-level practitioners in residential and light commercial construction. Building construction courses are offered for different types of students. The A.S. in Building Construction Technology gives graduates technical skills required in the industry and blends business management training for light construction in a two-year degree program. The A.A. degree with construction emphasis is designed to prepare the graduate to transfer to a four-year university and to pursue a bachelor's degree in building construction.
BANCF recently established a new scholarship fund for students pursuing a degree at the Rinker School of Construction Management at the University of Florida. It is the Evan Thomas Bolton Memorial Scholarship Fund, in memory of Evan Bolton, son of two BANCF Members, both graduates from UF who have continued to help students in the program. For more information on this scholarship fund, contact BANCF at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The M.E. Rinker Sr. School of Construction Management at the University of Florida prepares students with the professional capabilities to plan, direct, and coordinate activities involved with the construction and maintenance of structures, facilities, and systems. Graduates are typically employed by general contractors, developers, home builders, heavy construction industry (oil, petrochemical, paper), and service industries.
The North Central Florida area is fortunate to have two first-class colleges providing career in construction opportunities, Santa Fe College and the University of Florida. Educating and training a new generation is critical for a healthy building industry and economy in our community. For information on other BANCF Programs for training our future workforce, contact the BANCF Office.

Marilyn Crotty snapped this superb photo of a rainbow along the shoreline in the Conception Bay South area of the Avalon. Marilyn didn't tell me what time it was when she took the picture, but judging by the arc, I can tell it was not at sunrise or sunset. At those times, a rainbow's centre, the anti-solar point, is on the horizon; the rainbow is half in the sky and displays a large semicircle. As the sun rises, the bow's centre sinks. A rainbow is always located opposite the sun and that's why rainbows are not seen at noon.

Gary Sanchez hits winning HR, spoiling Justin Verlander's brilliance in Yankees win
HOUSTON – A moment after Justin Verlander left the stage, the Yankees' lineup came to life.
Gary Sanchez's towering, three-run homer off Houston right-hander Ken Giles was the decisive blow in a four-run ninth – powering the Yankees to a stunning, 4-0 win at Minute Maid Park.
Tuesday night had barely begun when Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery exited after one inning, due to tightness in his left forearm.
And then Verlander went to work on the Yankees, matching a career high with 14 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings in a brilliant, 105-pitch performance.
But Giles gave up a single to Aaron Judge and a double to Didi Gregorius to start the ninth.
After Giancarlo Stanton struck out with the infield in, Sanchez launched Giles' first pitch well over the center field wall to snap the scoreless tie.
With first base open and switch-hitting Aaron Hicks on deck, the Astros held a mound conference right before Sanchez jumped on a flat slider.
"After I noticed they were not going to walk me, I thought they were going to throw some uncomfortable pitches,'' Sanchez said through an interpreter. "I was looking for something I could hit, and he left something there for me.''
MORE:Ken Giles punches himself during tantrum following Gary Sanchez go-ahead HR
Upon his exit after just one-third of an inning, Giles punched himself in the face - twice - as he approached the Houston dugout.
Once there, cameras caught Giles picking up a bat, slamming it to the ground, and kicking it aside it a fit of self anger.
Sanchez wasn't aware of Giles' reaction, and Boone was more focused on how his young slugger came throught.
"(Giles) hung that first pitch and Gary was ready. A big-time swing,'' said Boone, who won his first game as Yankees manager against the reigning world champs.
"You know, if you're not on top of our game, that other team is going to make you pay,'' Boone said. "These are fun to be a part of.''
Based on Montgomery's initial results, there was little to suspect anything was physically wrong on Tuesday night.
The Yankees' lefty starter retired Astros in order on seven pitches in the first inning.
But he didn't come out for the second at Minute Maid Park, leaving it up to Domingo German and a series of relievers to battle against Verlander.
Montgomery is headed to New York for an exam by the Yankees team physician, Dr. Christopher Ahmad, and he'll undergo an MRI.
But after the game, Montgomery said his level of concern is "not too high. It's not like I'm hurting really that bad. Just kind of enough to (feel something) and kind of scare you a little bit.''
After Montgomery exited, the Yankees bullpen stitched together eight scoreless innings – with Chad Green, Dellin Betances, David Robertson and Aroldis Chapman finishing it out.
Matching Verlander's continued excellence, German delivered four scoreless innings – allowing four hits and a walk, with four strikeouts.
German is the likely candidate to join the rotation should Montgomery land on the disabled list, or if he'd be forced to miss at least one start, according to manager Aaron Boone.
Montgomery's velocity was down a bit, and pitching coach Larry Rothschild asked him how he felt physically after the inning.
"We'll try and get some answers and hope for the best,'' Boone said of Montgomery, who seems likely to end up on the DL.
Verlander, again
Verlander's October is the stuff of Yankees nightmares.
By dominating the Yankees in winning Games 2 and 6 of last year's AL Championship Series – both at Minute Maid Park – the Houston right-hander played a major role in vaulting the Astros to a pennant.
Verlander held the Yankees to just one run in a combined 16 ALCS innings in 2017, and he was at his best again on Tuesday night – an extension of his splendid start to 2018.
After yielding a two-out, bunt single to Didi Gregorius – who beat the shift, with nobody on base in the third inning – Verlander retired the last 16 Yankees he faced.
Nine of those final 16 outs came on strikeouts.
A long-time Yankees nemesis dating to his Detroit Tigers days, Verlander had entered the game with a 4-0 record and 1.36 ERA over his first six starts.
All three hits off Verlander came in the first three innings.
The Yankees actually threatened a second-inning rally, with singles by Sanchez and Miguel Andujar, but Verlander struck out Tyler Austin (just off his four-game MLB suspension) and rookie Gleyber Torres.

Best Masonry Paint UK
Most homes in the United Kingdom are now brick and mortar, yet there are a majority that are wood. Just like there are different materials to build houses and commercial complexes, so there are various external paints that protect them. One of these external materials is masonry paint. Maintaining a perfect outward look on the walls is an annual headache. By selecting a good quality masonry paint, you would have a home that is bursting with colour, freshness, and curb appeal all year long.
Exterior masonry paint is the most common form of protection that is used in masonry buildings. Potential buyers and guests see the external visual of your house first. A well looked after property will not only increase your property value but will also show that you love and care for your home.
Earthy tones in beige, honey, brown, and cream, are classics, yet many Britishers opt for a vintage feel. If you mix these colours with ivory, you would indeed get a unique hue for your house. Reddish copper and dark red also work excellent in rural settings, while green is a slightly more urban choice.
Greys, blacks, and whites all work excellently with each other and add excellent contrast to the entire get up of the house.
How to Select a Good Masonry Paint for your Needs?
When choosing a masonry paint for your home, always opt for a waterproof, durable, and dirt-resistant coat. There are two types of masonry paints available. They are:

Cabbages and..
Saw "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" tonight. This came hot on the heels of Little Britain yesterday.
One of these had excellent writing, competent directing, wonderful character development, sympathetic characters and a coherent plot. The other was, unfortunately, a full-length movie.
I'm not going to say much. The movie was awful, that's all you really need to know.
There was one moment that was moderately funny – or would have been in late 99, anyway. This was, of course, the brief instant where Peter channels Neo.. if only that particular shot hadn't been given homage by so many other movies since The Matrix.
Meh. Waste of $16, waste of a night that I could have spent watching paint dry.

Marsden's mild steel Trade Approved platform scales have capacities ranging from 600kg to 3000kg, and a choice of base sizes too. They are perfect for simple weighing applications that require a Trade Approved scale, because they are easy to use, have a bright, clear weight display, and provide precise, accurate weight readings.
What are the benefits of platform scales?

Platform scales from Marsden are built to last. They are solid and reliable and sit on heavy duty levelling feet. This platform scale is low profile, and the loadcells are safely mounted within the structure of the platform, should you need to move the platform around your premises with a fork truck.
What is a Trade Approved Scale?
A Trade Approved scale, also referred to as a Class III Approved scale a Legal For Trade scale or a stamped scale, is a weighing scale that is approved for use when an item is priced based on its weight.
It is a legal requirement to use Trade Approved scales in the buying and selling of goods, or when a charge or fine is raised as a result of a weight reading. Some industries, such as waste and recycling management, require the use of Trade Approved scales.
A scale becomes Trade Approved once it has passed a rigorous test programme conducted by a Notified Body and it has been issued with a Type Approval Certificate – non approved scales do not undergo this testing. Trade Approved status provides assurance to the user that the scale has reached a minimum level of quality and is fit for purpose.
Verification fees are included in the price of this scale.

Interests/Hobbies: I spend most of my time inside of my mind. Right now I'm interested in finding myself again because somewhere along the way, everything changed and I lost touch. I used to read so much that my parents would sternly ask me to put away my book during dinner. I used to love sports and was a proud tomboy, surrounding myself with energetic and outgoing people (yes, I was the athletic girl who jung out with all the jocks). I used to play piano, I used to sing multiple times a day, I used to write songs and poetry. I used to excel at languages. I always got good grades. I was even a teacher's pet, I think? Horseback riding was my life. I used to do all of these things but now it feels like a different lifetime. So really, my hobby now is soul searching and trying new things along the way.
Personal message: In all seriousness though I'm in a state of metamorphosis – with a side of occasional existential crises woohoo – so it would be nice to connect with other growing souls out there 🙂 Small talk is not exactly my cup of tea.

What to Look For in a Private Student Loan
When you're searching for a private student loan, there are a few main things to look for.
- APR: The first number likely to catch your eye is the APR. If you are offered a fixed rate, the APR will stay consistent over the course of your loan. If you are offered a variable rate, it is likely to start lower, but can change periodically throughout the course of repayment.
- Fees: You will also want to take note of any application or origination fees. Most of the top student loan lenders won't – so you should keep that in mind when reviewing options. Also, check whether there are late payment fees – it would be good to know you wouldn't be penalized if something unexpected happened and you were late with a payment.
- Credit Score Needed: Private student loans often require good credit if you're applying without a co-signer. If you do apply with a co-signer, they can sometimes be released after you have proven your ability to reliably pay off the student loan debt on your own.
- Repayment Options: You should also see if you qualify for a student loan with a lender who offers flexible repayment options. For example, some may allow you to begin making payments earlier than normal, reducing your principal balance and the interest you would pay on it.
- Additional Perks: Marketplace lenders, in particular, are more likely to offer additional perks. Some companies will give you cashback or additional support in career planning – make sure you're aware of these benefits!
Is a Private Student Loan Right For You?
Is a private student loan really the best way for you to fund your college degree? That's going to vary on a few factors.
Private loans provide a great funding resource to those who can't afford to pay for college themselves – and that's the majority of college students.
According to research, only 29% of parents plan to fully cover the cost of their children's college fees – meaning that the majority of kids will be on their own.
However, these loans often but not always come with higher APR offerings than federal loans. You can usually borrow more with private lenders while federal loans come with lower borrowing limits.
When you're planning to take out a private student loan, the question you need to ask yourself is – will you be able to pay it back once you've graduated? Will your income be sufficient?
Before you take out any student loan, do a return-on-investment calculation.
Paying back hundreds of thousands in student debt will be impossible if you choose a career path that doesn't guarantee a career with a high-income threshold.
On the other hand, if you decide to use a private loan to attend medical school, you know that your expected salary over the years is likely to help you cover these costs.
The key is to only borrow what you'll be able to pay back. For a better idea of what that amount might be, check out the estimated salaries by occupation on the U.S. Department of Labor's website.
Another thing to consider is that your ability to take out a private student loan will depend on your creditworthiness. If you're taking out a private student loan, you will need to have a good credit score and history, unless you are aided along by a qualified co-signer.
If your credit isn't the best, your application for a loan may not be approved, or you could end up paying the APR listed at the top of your lender's range.
Will You Get a Private Student Loan?
Private student loan options from private organizations may charge you a higher interest rate compared to federal borrowing options.
These private loans will provide fewer repayment options and opportunities for cancellation or forgiveness; be sure to intimately familiarize yourself with your federal loan options before considering an offer on the private market.
While private student loans may not be the preferable form of borrowing, they can be a useful tool to help you complete your education and secure a higher income over the course of your career under the right circumstances.
Handled responsibly, the right student loan can help you achieve your academic goals.

We were surprised at just how well Philips new Aurea (Europe only for now though probably US next year) looks in video. One part beautiful, one part hideous, it's an innovative product that will be perfect for a specific chunk of the market with the decor to support it (seriously, picture it next to a cement goose and twig wreath). But I think that the glowing itself works quite well. And if the frame is turned off, you quickly panic, wondering what evil force has cursed your viewing experience.
In this video, Philips Marketing Director Marc Harmsen walks us through their new product while we show plenty of action.

Science in the world around us
Science is a topic that is embraced wholeheartedly by the boys, so they were thrilled to be given the opportunity to welcome the Science Museum's Outreach project to Davenies.
Years 3 and 4 were ecstatic over the bubble show, they learnt how bubbles are made and were taught the art of 'wafting' a bubble to keep it floating through the air. Some boys were even lucky enough to be inside a huge bubble covering them from head to toe before popping.
'It takes guts' was the name of the game for the year 5 and 6 boys and it certainly took some guts to stomach this extremely detailed show as they followed the journey our food makes through the digestive system, from beginning to…. end.
The year 7 and 8 boys were introduced to the world of Science Communication and how to present to an audience effectively. Split into groups they were given a Science demonstration to present to everybody.
Once again, this was an exciting and awe-inspiring visit extending the boys' learning and understanding of Science in the world around us.
