Position Summary
Located in beautiful Tucson, the University of Arizona College of Medicine (UA CoM) established in 1967 has 20 departments, five basic science and 15 clinical science, along with 10 Centers of Excellence, dedicated to specific areas of research, clinical care and teaching. With research funding reaching nearly $177 million in 2018, come be a part of the team that is dedicated to promote health and improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease for the people of Arizona and beyond, through education, research and patient care.
The Department of Anesthesiology provides a full range of clinical service and education including Anesthesiology Residency and Fellowships. Clinical experience covers ambulatory, cardiothoracic, neurosurgical, obstetric, pediatric, trauma, transplantation and vascular surgery, as well as acute and chronic pain and critical care. Our clinical faculty, residents and nurse anesthetists cover operating rooms at Banner University Medical Center-Tucson, Banner University Medical Center-South, and Southern Arizona Veterans Administration Hospital. Our research programs are supported by the NIH and numerous private industry sources and cover coagulation medicine, clinical monitoring and engineering, anesthetic mechanisms, critical care medicine, end-of-life brain activity, the nature of consciousness, treatment for traumatic brain injury, obstetrical anesthesia and other areas producing peer-reviewed papers, national and international meeting presentations, and visiting professorships.
Our laboratory is located in the Arizona Health Science Center and is focused on the electrophysiological role of the glycocalyx in cardiovascular health and disease (Project 1). We work on the hypothesis that the endothelial glycocalyx is crucial in modulating vascular tone. Our laboratory collaborates with Dr. Andreia Chignalia, who investigates molecular and physiological aspects of the same glycocalyx-related hypothesis. In order to move forward with the above hypothesis we announce a Postdoctoral Research Associate I position available in the laboratory of Dr. Joao Carvalho-de-Souza.

Now that Governor Gina Raimondo has begun the process of opening two of Rhode Island's State Beaches on Memorial Day and has set the guidelines in place for local beaches, the picture is getting clearer for beaches in Newport and Middletown.
Town officials in Middletown decided Monday night that Third beach will open for the season to Middletown residents only beginning Saturday, May 23rd. Residents must show a drivers license or a tax bill to prove residency.
First Beach in Newport will open on Thursday, June 4th. The delay is so the beach can staff up.
There is no date set yet or Second Beach but Second Beach will be open to the general public because they took federal money to rebuild after Hurricane Sandy.
UPDATE: Gooseberry Beach is tentatively scheduled to open on May 30th.

A Pace man was arrested Monday on charges he had intercourse with two girls aged 14 and 15, respectively, according to an Escambia County Sheriff's Office arrest report.
Charles Daniel Hopgood-Rios, 23, has been charged with offenses including two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior and one count of using a two-way device to facilitate a felony, the report said.
In August, Hopgood-Rios began communicating with a 15-year-old student via cellphone messages, according to the report. The duo arranged a meeting, and because the juvenile was nervous, she arranged for a 14-year-old friend to accompany her.
Hopgood-Rios allegedly picked up the juveniles, drove them to a secluded location, then engaged in sex acts with both of them in the backseat of his vehicle, the report said.
According to the report, one of the girls reportedly told a school counselor about the incident, and a witness who saw Hopgood-Rios drive off with the girls recorded his license plate number and gave it to the Sheriff's Office.
In September, deputies executed a search warrant at Hopgood-Rios' home, and he allegedly made a spontaneous statement that he "thought the girls were 16 years old and that he had read the law in Florida," according to the report.
Hopgood-Rios was taken into custody and released on $40,000 bond, according to jail records. He is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 2.

Traditions, Not Carved in Stone
by PamFord Davis
11/12/2019 / Devotionals
The Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays are approaching. Family traditions play a major role in holiday celebrations. We often follow festive traditions started by parents and grandparents. Immigrants carry on traditions from their homelands.
Traditions have their place; yet, they are not carved in stone.
Jesus rebuked religious leaders.
"Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 'Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.' And He answered and said to them, 'Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, 'Honor your father and mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.' But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, 'Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,' he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:
'This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
'But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men (Matthew 15:1-9 NASB)."

The gin brands to watch in 2015
A gin fall out is certainly on its way, but whether it happens in the next 12 months or not is anyone's guess. In the meantime, these are our gin brands and trends to watch in 2015.
If you take the Philippines out of the equation, the gin category is absolutely booming. Renewed interest in the spirit from the world's cocktail capitals, sparked by bartenders rediscovering the spirit through the classics like Martinis and Negronis, has continued and is predicted to do so for some time yet.
Couple that interest, which has now dripped down to consumers across the US,
UK and Spain, with the raft of new product launches from start-up distilleries across the globe and you have a category that grew 2.2% in 2013 (IWSR).
There is now an incredible amount of choice within the category, from traditional London dry gins to contemporary products with unique and unusual botanicals, plus all the Old Toms and barrel-aged expressions in between. One could perhaps argue that gin has become one of the most diverse spirits categories on the planet; the obvious side effect being that consumers are more likely to stay within the category, rather than be tempted by the sweeter qualities of whisky for example.
Over saturated category
The breadth of choice does have its drawbacks – Spain is rumoured to have around 250 different styles of gin now widely available on the market, sparking ongoing predictions of a fall out, although consumption signs aren't pointing to that eventuality just yet.
Looking at global volumes, including gin's largest market of the Philippines, and the story is somewhat different. "In the large Philippine and Indian markets consumers make wholesale switches from gin to more fashionable categories such as brandy or whisky, which has had a significant impact on global volumes," reports the IWSR Yearbook.
In fact, consumers in both markets are moving into other categories so quickly that the Philippine gin market dropped 10% to 14.1m cases in 2013. That was enough to offset growth around the world to deliver an overall 2% decline.
But while the headline stat is set to drive forward on its trajectory, delivering a CAGR decline of 1.8% between 2013-18, consumer interest in developed cocktail markets will not budge. We've said it before, but drinks with bitter flavours are set to rule in 2015.

Solutions for Cracked Heels
Cracked heels may make you want to think twice about showing off your feet in warmer weather. However, cracked heels may be harmful to more than just the appearance of your feet. If deep fissures and cracks develop in your heels, they may make walking and standing painful for you. Additionally, these openings make way for germs to enter through your skin and cause infection.
There are several different causes of cracked heels. One of the most common reasons for this ailment is dry skin. This problem may make your keeps feel rough tight and itchy. Dry skin may be caused by cold air, extremely hot water, harsh soaps, and aging. Skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis may eventually lead to dry skin. In some cases, complications may arise from cracked heels. Some of these complications are a loss of feeling in the heel, cellulitis, or a diabetic foot ulcer.
There are ways you can try to prevent getting cracked heels. One of the best ways to do so is to avoid wearing flip flops and sandals because these shoes increase your risk of drying out your feet. You should also avoid wearing shoes with a tall skinny heel, because these shoes cause your heel to expand sideways. At night, you should slather on a thick moisturizing cream on your feet and then cover them in socks to keep your feet moisturized overnight. Drinking water to stay hydrated is also a good way to ensure that your skin doesn't become dry.
If you suffer from a severe case of cracked feet, you should make an appointment with your podiatrist to see what treatment methods are best for you.
Hyperhidrosis of the Feet
Each foot, on average, has about 250,000 eccrine sweat glands that produce half a pint of sweat each day. Sweating is a natural and important bodily function. It regulates the body's temperature by cooling the skin so that it does not overheat. In individuals with hyperhidrosis, the sympathetic nervous system works in "overdrive", producing far more sweat than what is required. People with plantar hyperhidrosis experience an excess amount of sweat on their feet. It is estimated that 2% to 3% of all Americans suffer from some form of hyperhidrosis. This condition is often caused by neurologic, endocrine, infectious, and other systemic disease. Other factors that may trigger the condition are heat and emotions.
People with hyperhidrosis may notice an overabundance of sweat on their feet, along with a strong odor. The feet may also have a wet appearance coupled with infections such as athlete's foot or toenail fungus. The sweat may even appear in low temperatures, such as during the winter months. People with plantar hyperhidrosis often need to change their socks several times throughout the day.
The specific cause of hyperhidrosis is unknown, and many believe it may be caused by over-activity. However, others believe the condition is genetic. Caffeine and nicotine are known to cause excitement and nervousness which are two emotions that may make the condition worse.
If you are looking to treat your hyperhidrosis the most important thing you should do is wash your feet every day. You may even need to wash your feet twice a day, if necessary. You should also make sure you are wearing the right socks. Wool and cotton socks are both known to be good for ventilation, meaning they allow the feet to breathe. You should avoid socks made from nylon which trap moisture and lead to sogginess. Other common treatment options are over-the-counter antiperspirants that contain a low dose of metal salt. In some cases, prescription strength antiperspirants that contain aluminum chloride hexahydrate may be necessary. In severe cases, surgery may be required.
Untreated hyperhidrosis can easily lead to complications. Some complications that may arise from the disorder include nail infections, warts, and bacterial infections. Consequently, it is important that you seek treatment from your podiatrist if you suspect that you may have plantar hyperhidrosis.
Pregnancy and Foot Health
Many pregnant women complain about foot pain while they are expecting. Foot pain can primarily be caused by weight gain and hormonal changes taking place in the body. By understanding how pregnancy impacts the health of a woman's feet, a pregnant woman can take action to keep her feet as healthy and comfortable as possible.
Because a woman's weight changes during pregnancy, more pressure is brought to bear on both the legs and the feet. This weight shift can cause two major foot problems: over-pronation, also known as flat feet, as well as edema, which is swelling of the feet. Over-pronation occurs when the arch of the foot flattens, causing the foot to roll inwards when the individual is walking, and can aggravate the plantar fascia tissues located along the bottom of the feet. If these tissues become inflamed, a pregnant woman can experience pain in the heel of the foot as well as severe foot pain while walking or standing. Swelling of the feet, or edema, often occurs in the later stages of pregnancy. It is caused by slow circulation and water retention, and may turn the feet a light purple color.
To keep feet in good health and prevent over-pronation, pregnant women should avoid walking barefoot and be sure they are wearing shoes that offer good arch support. A device known as an orthotic can be added to regular footwear in order to provide additional support for the feet during pregnancy. Any expectant mother whose feet hurt should first check to see if the shoes she is wearing are old, worn out and not offering the proper support necessary for distributing the weight of her body during pregnancy.
To treat edema of the feet, a good start is to wear quality footwear which offers support and good circulation. Keep feet elevated whenever possible by using a foot stool while seated. Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water to prevent water retention in the feet. Any swelling that occurs in only one foot should be examined as soon as possible by a doctor.
Good foot health during pregnancy can help expectant mothers avoid foot pain that leads to other health problems. Massaging the feet and doing regular gentle exercise like walking aids foot health by contributing to good circulation. Supportive shoes are also a good investment that will support foot health during pregnancy.
Foot and Ankle Trauma
Broken Feet
A broken foot can either refer to a fracture or a straight break. The location of any break can tell you how the break happened. Toes, for instance, break typically as a result of something being kicked hard and with great force. Heel breaks almost always are a result of an improper landing from a tall height. Twists or sprains are the other two frequent occurrences. As with all usual breaks, they result from unexpected accident or sudden injury. As with stress fractures, breaks form as a process over time from repeated stress on already present cracks. Runners, dancers, and gymnasts are the usual athletes who receive this type of break. Stress fractures result from incredible pressure on the feet. It is no surprise these athletes bear the majority of reported fractures.
Pain, swelling, bruising, and redness are all indicative of the typical symptoms from a broken foot. Severe pain—to the point of not being able to walk—usually depends on the location of the break in the foot. Toes are on the lower scale of pain threshold, but heels are high, as are a few other particular bones. As the severity of the broken foot increases, symptoms like blueness, numbness, misshaping of the foot, cuts, or deformities will become apparent. These symptoms indicate the need to see a medical professional with access to an x-ray facility.
Prior to seeing a specialist, precautions should be taken to reduce pain and swelling. Elevate and stabilize the foot, and refrain from moving it. Immobilization of the foot is the next priority, so creating a homemade splint is acceptable. Keep in mind that while creating a splint, any increase of pain or cutting off blood circulation means that the splint should be removed immediately. Use ice to decrease swelling and relieve pain symptoms.
When dealing with a medical center, the patient should note that the treatment can vary. The treatment will depend on the severity of the fracture and the cause of the break. Crutches, splits, or casts are common treatments while surgery has been known to be used in more severe cases in order to repair the break in the bones.
Broken Ankles
Broken ankles are a serious injury that can lead to an inability to walk, function, and also cause a significant amount of pain. A broken ankle is a break in one of the three bones in your body that connect at the ankle joint, the tibia, the fibula, and the talus. The tibia and fibula are your two primary leg bones that connect at the knee, which sits directly upon the talus bone. This is protected by a fibrous membrane that allows for movement in our ankle joint. A broken ankle is usually caused by the foot rolling under or twisting too far, causing one of these three bones to snap.
A broken ankle is different from an ankle sprain, which occurs when the ligaments are ripped or torn but no bones have been broken. A sprain can still be very severe, causing bruising in the foot and an inability to hold your own weight, much like a broken ankle would. If you're unable to stand, and suspect that you have a broken ankle, the first thing to do would be to get an immediate x-ray to determine the severity of the break.
A common cause of broken ankles is when the ankle is rolled over with enough pressure to break the bones. This usually happens during exercise, sports, or other physical activities. Another common cause is a fall or jump from a tall height.
One immediate treatment for pain relief is elevating the feet above your head to reduce blood flow to the injured area. You can also apply ice packs to your ankles to help reduce swelling, redness, inflammation, and pain. After these initial steps, getting a cast and staying off your feet as much as possible will aid in the recovery of the broken ankle. The less movement and stress the ankle has to endure, the more complete it will heal. A doctor can determine if surgery is needed in order to heal correctly. In these cases, an operation may be the only option to ensure the ability to walk properly again, followed by physical therapy and rehabilitation.
It is highly important to determine if surgery is needed early on, because a broken ankle can become much more severe than you realize. If not professionally treated, the broken ankle will inhibit your walking, daily functioning, and produce a large amount of pain. Treating your broken ankle early on will help prevent further damage to it.

| 13.6°C Belfast
An investigation will look into how a ferry carrying 320 passengers hit a harbour wall as it made its way into the English Channel.
Four people were taken to hospital with minor injuries after passengers and crew were evacuated from the Dover Seaways ship which hit the dock as it left the harbour for the 8am crossing to Dunkirk today, Port of Dover officials confirmed.
Passengers posted pictures on Twitter and Facebook showing upturned chairs and shop stock strewn across the floor, a disabled woman was reportedly knocked unconscious, while others likened the incident to the sinking of the Titanic.
Keith Etherton, 54, and his wife Silvia, 51, who were on board the ferry when the incident happened, told Kent Online that they were thrown across the deck just moments after the ferry started its journey.
The couple, who were on their way to visit friends in Germany, said it took around half an hour to get off the ship and that they had decided to take another ferry from Dover to Calais to continue their trip.
Mr Etherton said: "It was like Titanic hitting the iceberg because it crashed into the wall.
"There was only going to be one winner - and that was the wall."
He added: "I was on the rear part of the ship on the top deck and my wife was on another part of the deck. We had actually left four minutes earlier than expected.
Passenger Joan Tiernan tweeted: "On DFDS ferry. Just crashed into harbour wall. Back in Dover."
She later added: "On Ferry. Car reg bingo now. Shop looks like it's been ram-raided. Disabled woman knocked unconscious."
South East Coast Ambulance Service (Secamb) attended the scene shortly after 8.15am and treated people at the port for "bumps and bruises".
Four adults were taken to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, Kent, as a precautionary measure, although none were believed to have suffered life-threatening or serious injuries, a spokesman said.
Sea conditions in the English Channel were slight to moderate and visibility was good just before the ferry set off on its journey, the Port said.
The Port of Dover, which is carrying out its own investigation, said it was likely that the Marine Accident Investigation Branch would also be looking into the incident which was "normal procedure".
A spokeswoman said the Port and Dover Seaways had immediately put emergency plans into practice to ensure the safety of those on board.
She said: "Our first priority is always to ensure safety of all those who use the port.
"Thankfully incidents whilst relatively rare are always professionally and rapidly dealt with."
She added: "The vessel, Dover Seaways, is safely berthed in the Eastern Docks. We praise all concerned for their swift response.
"Naturally, the incident will be subject to our own internal investigation and that of the appropriate statutory authorities."
DFDS said passengers who wished to continue their journey had been accommodated on other DFDS Seaways ferries.
A spokeswoman said the ferry was being assessed for repairs but could not say how bad the damage was or when the ship was expected to sail again.
A Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) spokeswoman said it had been informed of the incident but that it was being dealt with by Dover Port.
She said the MCA was in consultation with a surveyor who would be assessing the damage to the ferry today.

This crossover took the car platform of the BMW 5 Series sedan and added some of the all-wheel drive control systems from Land Rover vehicles. It first ran on a 4.4-liter V8 with 324 pound-feet and 282 horsepower, although a 3.0-liter inline-6 was added in 2001 for more efficiency. 2002 saw a third engine arrive, a 340-horsepower 4.6-liter V8.
The 2004 BMW X5 got refreshed styling and sportier lines, and also replaced the 4.6-liter V8 with a 4.8-liter V8. The 2007 X5 was completely reengineered to improve the user experience with interior controls. This was also the first year that seating was available for seven passengers.
A diesel engine became an option for 2009 and in 2010, and newly available features included Active Steering, a heads-up display, and 4-zone climate control. For 2011, BMW gave the X5 a new base engine in the form of a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 with 300 horsepower. The year of 2014 saw enhanced styling and engineering, and also introduced the 8-speed automatic as a standard feature.

Mexico, August 02, 2010 -- Moody's Investors Service downgraded the debt rating assigned to the MXN
430 million enhanced loan (original face value) of the Municipality of
Atizapan de Zaragoza to Baa3 from Baa2 (global scale, local currency).
At the same time, Moody's de Mexico affirmed the Mexican National
Scale debt rating of Aa2.mx assigned to the same loan.
The MXN 430 million Scotiabank loan was issued in 2007 (MXN 397 million
outstanding approximately). The enhanced loan has a maturity of
15 years and an interest coupon composed of the 28-day Mexican
Interbank Interest Rate plus 50 basis points. It is a direct obligation
of the municipality and is payable through a trust (Banamex) to which
Atizapan has pledged the rights to 30% of its federal participation
Rating Rationale:
The downgrade of the Global Scale debt rating to Baa3 from Baa2 reflects
the recent downgrade of the issuer rating of the Municipality of Atizapan
de Zaragoza to Ba2 from Ba1, which took into account the recent
deterioration of Atizapan's financial performance. This deterioration,
in Moody's view, increases underlying contract enforcement
risks, economic risks and credit culture risks that may impact loan
performance in the future.
As part of the rating action, Moody's recognizes the existence
of a discrepancy between the amortization calendar of the loan and the
amortization calendar of an interest rate SWAP contract purchased by the
municipality after contracting the loan. Nevertheless, we
do not see this discrepancy as exerting material downward pressure on
the debt rating given the performance of the loan to date and our projections
of future performance, which incorporate the impact of this discrepancy
(see below).
The affirmation of the Mexican National Scale rating of Aa2.mx
reflects the positioning of the loan relative to peer transactions.
Specifically, the affirmation reflects substantial increases in
reserve levels via a loan modification agreement that occurred following
the contracting of the loan. As a result of this modification,
reserve increased to levels well above original considerations,
averaging 13.9x debt service coverage over the last 24 months.
Although these levels are expected to decline progressively over the life
of the loan, reaching an estimated 5.8x debt service coverage
(as the maturity schedule increases), they far exceed industry standards
and provide significant additional security to the loan holder.
Moreover, the relative strength derived from these high reserves
is also supported by a track record of strong reserve management.
In July 2009, a portion of reserves, which were drawn down
to cover a technical delay in the transfer of participation revenues to
the trust, were automatically replenished in a short time frame.
This illustrates the smooth functioning of the trust structure and efficiency
of the reserve mechanism.
The Baa3 and Aa2.mx debt ratings assigned to the MXN 430 million
loan also reflect the following credit enhancements:
1. The validity of the legal authorization of the transaction and
of the trust to be used as a mechanism for payment of debt service.
2. Strong trust structure based on an irrevocable notification
to the Finance Ministry (Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico) of
the transfer of rights and flows, and on the instruction to the
State of Mexico to send the designated funds to the trustee.
3. Strong overall historical cash flows resulting in an average
monthly debt service coverage of 2.3x during 2009, a period
that comprises a deep fall in federal participation transfers, and
minimum quarterly debt service coverage of 1.1x during Q3 2009.
4. Adequate projected debt service coverage levels despite the
20% revenue drop of 2009 federal participation transfers:
- Under a Moody's base case scenario and considering the actual
SWAP discrepancy, cash flows are projected to provide 1.6x
debt service coverage at the lowest point during the life of the loan.
- Under a Moody's stress scenario and considering the actual SWAP
discrepancy, cash flows are projected to provide 1.5x debt
service coverage at the lowest point during the life of the loan.
The last rating action on the Municipality of Atizapan was taken on 20
November 2007, when Moody's assigned Aa2.mx (Mexico
National Scale Rating) and Baa2 (Global Scale, Local Currency) ratings
to the MXN 430 million enhanced loan.
The principal methodologies used in rating the Municipality of Atizapan
de Zaragoza and its enhanced loan were "Regional and Local Governments
Outside the US" and "The Application of Joint Default Analysis to Regional
and Local Governments", published respectively in May 2008 and December
2008 and available on www.moodys.com in the Rating Methodologies
sub-directory under the Research & Ratings tab. Other
methodologies and factors that may have been considered in the process
of rating this issuer can also be found in the Rating Methodologies subdirectory
on Moody's website.

The Ready Steady Go Kids program is designed to introduce preschoolers to the fundamentals of 10 different sports (soccer, tennis, basketball, hockey, golf, AFL, rugby, athletics, cricket and T-ball).
We are the largest RSGK centre in
Castle Hill NSW 2154.
The Swing Academy is the franchise owner of Ready Steady Go Kids program in the Castle Hill and Carlingford regions. We offer Ready Steady Go Kids Program seven days per week in Castle Hill and two days per week in North Rocks.
Ready Steady Go Kids is Australia's leading multi-sport program for children aged 1.5-6 years. We currently run classes at over 210 locations across Australia, and many more internationally. Our physio-designed program teaches children the fundamentals of 10 different sports and develops essential motor skills in a fun, non-competitive environment.
Each term, 5 sports are taught in 2 week blocks which is considered sufficient time to introduce and reinforce the basic concepts and motor patterns. By rotating the sports every 2 weeks we also decrease the likelihood of children becoming disinterested in a particular activity. At the end of the term the sports are rotated at every location. The table below details the sports included in our program and the order in which they are taught.
All equipment used in the Ready Steady Go Kids program has been specifically designed and modified to ensure age appropriateness, reliability and safety.
Our program objectives are as follows:
Introduce preschoolers to a variety of sports in a structured, safe, inclusive and non-competitive environment.
Show preschoolers that sport and physical activities are fun, thus developing a lifelong passion for exercise.
Develop and enhance age-appropriate gross motor skills,coordination and correct posture.
Introduce and reinforce the importance of warm-up and stretching to help prevent injuries, and proper hydration.
Teach the importance of good sportsmanship and teamwork.
Decrease childhood obesity.
Increase each child's confidence.
Prepare children for school and participation in the broader community.
Our classes:
Each Ready Steady Go Kids class is run indoors for a duration of 45 minutes, and we cover five sports per term.
Our classes are designed to focus on a specific gross motor, hand-eye/foot-eye and/or balance activity to complement the sport component and our program structure is repeated each week so that participants become familiar and comfortable with the routine.
To ensure that every participant receives a high level of attention and support, we maintain a low instructor to student ratio. Our instructors have (as a minimum) a Level 1 Coaching qualification under the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme from the Australian Sports Commission, a current working with children check and extensive experience in teaching preschool-aged children.
We invite and encourage parental participation in our classes, and — trust us — parents love our classes as much as the kids!
Delivering a combination of physical and emotional benefits, the Ready Steady Go Kids program is designed to build confidence and self-esteem, providing a platform of knowledge and boosting school readiness skills.
Science-based foundation
Our program was designed by a paediatric physiotherapist and occupational therapist. It aims to enhance children's gross and fine motor skills, encourage their continued participation in sports and prepare them for the early school years.
Multi-sports program
We teach 10 different sports which helps children develop a broad range of skills, builds a platform of sporting knowledge and the variety ensures continued interest in the program.
Small class sizes
Class capacities range from 10-14 children and have a maximum of 1:7 instructor to student ratio. This means more attention for your child and better learning outcomes.
All classes are held indoors
Rain, hail or shine - our classes are never cancelled in bad weather. With an indoor environment you can be certain that every class will always go ahead as scheduled.
Incorporating "soft-skills"
Our program incorporates basic counting and colour concepts, encourages team work and sportsmanship, builds social skills and develops listening skills and concentration. All of which improves your child's preparation for school.
The "feel good factor"
Children develop greater self-confidence, enhanced self-esteem and a real sense of achievement, all of which shape their physiological well-being.

MIT News –
Just 30 seconds into their walk to the town center of Kitale, in Kenya, where they would later conduct a focus group about locally available solar energy options, Elise Harrington and her research partner came across a vendor selling a counterfeit solar lantern. Because they had been studying these very products, they knew immediately it was a fake. But the seller assured them it was authentic and came with a warranty.
They bought the lantern and presented it, along with a genuine version, to the members of focus groups. Few of them were able to tell the difference. It was an "eye-opening" discovery says Harrington, a doctoral student in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning who has been studying the ways that people in Kenya and India learn about solar products and make decisions about buying and maintaining them.
While consumers in developed countries generally assume that a product such as a solar panel will come with a reliable warranty — and wouldn't purchase the product if it didn't — Harrington has learned through her fieldwork that this type of information isn't necessarily communicated to consumers in the countries she's studied. So far, her research indicates that people's social relationships, for example with friends, family members, or trusted shop owners, play a critical role in the adoption of solar products, but that gaps remain in household knowledge when it comes to the more complex ideas of standards and after-sales services.

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp could not even congratulate one of his charges for finally finding the net after shooting blanks for over two years, as he was asked to give his thoughts on his side's disappointing 2-2 draw against bottom club, West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
The Reds looked to be cruising towards a win as goals from Danny Ings, who scored for the first time since October 2015, as well as Mo Salah's record equalling strike put them two ahead at The Hawthornes – before a response from the home side via Jake Livermore and Salomon Rondon saw the two sides share the spoils.
The point from the draw went some way towards keeping West Brom afloat, and they were clearly the happier of the two sides, but the same could not be said for Klopp's men, and the German's feelings were all out in the open, as even the ground staff was in the firing line.
Always the easiest target, the referee was not spared as well, and when asked what he thought of Ings finally converting a chance, the former Dortmund manager said he maybe needed a nap to see if he wakes up in the mood talk about "positive things".
Watch Klopp's angry interview in video below:
"I'm not in the mood to talk about positive things," Klopp said.
Give me a night to sleep on it, then I'll tell Danny how good it was."
"I'm not in the mood to talk about positive things." pic.twitter.com/sON6Ctix3g
— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) April 21, 2018
The man of the moment, Danny Ings downplayed his individual contribution when quizzed about it, citing that he would have been happier had his side collected all three points.
"It's alright scoring goals, but overall you want the three points, and we didn't get that today. So it's disappointing," he said.

Tables represent two-dimensional examples of the LiveForm design idea. Using the natural edge of the wood to create a line in space, we can then manufacture a complimenting or contrasting material to extend the wood in a single plane. This combination then results in a recognizable, useful furniture surface.

Hello everyone!
today I was very excited to get my first test shots of my zone back from the lab. I'm happy that the camera works but all of my pictures were out of focus. All Of the shots were taken at f/11 or f/16 which should give me plenty of depth to get everything in focus. I also, as far as I understand, was zone focusing properly.
Is there something I'm missing here? Does the crop factor of 6x7 or the design of the zone affect focusing distance?
for reference I'm using the mamiya 100mm f/3.5

Know Your Grapes: Aglianico Taste and Pairings

Aglianico is a grape that is steadily gaining in popularity in the United States. Mostly grown in Italy, it has gained notice for being a well-priced option on wine lists at Italian restaurants, and when you don't want to shell out $75+ for even a basic wine from Montepulciano, Aglianico can be a great alternative.
Aglianico is pronounced "ah-lee-ahn-i-co", which is definitely a mouthful. Eric Asimov, the wine writer for the New York Times, described Aglianico in a recent article as one of his favorite red Italian grapes, going on to say that he finds wines made from the grape "delicious, structured, and age-worthy."
I tend to agree - I think Aglianico is often the perfect wine to drink with any deeper Italian food, as it combines good fruit with the earthiness to off set acidic dishes and depth to offset meaty ones. In that vein, my favorite food to hvae with Aglianico is a spicy, thin-crust sausage pizza with a good red sauce, like you might find in most New York pizzerias.
Other good pariing bets for Aglianico are braised or grilled beef; savory or strongly flavored cheese; roasted game birds, and grilled lamb. Next time you're at an Italian restaurant and want a safe bet that won't break the bank, give Aglianico a try and let us know what you think!

Jeffery Sachs has his own model of development. He says massive aid program could help in reducing poverty in poor nations. He has initiated a program called Millennium Villages where few selected villages would be given aid to achieve Millennium Development Goals. (To know more about these villages click here)
This article is recently attracting a lot of attention which talks about Sachs' efforts at a village in Kenya called Sauri. It was the first village under the program. Thanks to Dani Rodrik for the pointer. I loved this para:
Africa has been drip-fed aid for decades, Sachs writes in his 2005 book The End of Poverty, but it has never received enough to make a difference. What money has trickled in has been wasted on overpriced consultants and misspent on humanitarian relief and food aid, not directed at the root causes of poverty. The average African, Sachs says, is caught in a "poverty trap." He farms a small plot for himself and his family, and simply doesn't have enough assets to make a profit. As the population grows, people have less and less land, and grow poorer. When the farmer has to pay school fees for his children or buy medication, he is forced to sell the few assets he has or else go into debt. But if he had some capital, he could invest in his farm, grow enough to harvest a surplus, sell it, and start making money.
So finance is important. Initial capital which is what the aid provides helps the person in a much better way than simply giving him the goods. But then finance alone is not enough. He needs mechanisms which incentivises him to produce the goods and sell in the markets.
Now, providing finance and helping him establish initial business is an easier part, it is creating that flow through of finance and goods that is important. The aid just helps initially and it is this inability of development consulatants to keep the flow going, which has kept Africa in the poverty trap.
And this is where theories espoused by North, Rodrik, Acemoglu come in front that it is institutions that matter the most. How does one go about creating institutions? Acemoglu says it depends on the colonial origins which in turn depend on mortality rates (at places with higher mortality rates, the colonizers set extractive/rent-seeking institutions). Hence Africa continues to suffer. There have been some excepetions like Botswana, South-Africa but more or less the story is similar across Africa. How does one change it? As Rodrik says,there is no one solution. One has to adopt a case by case approach. One model does not fit all. So there are many ideas what leads to growth etc we still struggle with implementation of the same.
The article also confirms this and says at the end:
This is not to say that Sauri cannot change, or that investment in the village is wasted. But if Sauri is to become a useful model for development on a bigger scale, and not just another development expert's white elephant, Sachs and others working on the project must acknowledge that they are still learning about Africa. Sauri is not yet a success.
Lasting changes in Sauri will come about not through distribution of commodities, but through education for children and training for adults. To put it another way, give a man a mosquito net, and when it rips, he'll come and ask for another one. But show him how using a mosquito net benefits his health and how it will save him money on medication in the long run, and he might just go out and buy one for himself.


text: Hi all, Can anyone shed some light on who might have made this, and when? One of three I picked up at an auction this week. It's pretty nice looking, but not running right now. I think the top might not be the original for this clock, the style seems a little different. The only markings I see are the numbers across the bottom edge of the back plate of the movement - 101171 - serial number, apparently. 40" tall x 12½" wide x 7½" deep. I have a lot of clocks piled up, I'll try to post more soon to see what you all think. Appreciate all of the wisdom shared on this site. P.S. - It sounds very nice.

Does anyone have experience with either one of these brands of trailers and what is the opinion on each choice. The first is a 99 WW 3horse slant load gooseneck Horsemans Dream for $5000 used. The second choice is a Logan 2H slant load gooseneck for 9400.00 new. What is the feeling out there regarding a 5000lb axle on the three horse only carrying one horse versus a 3500lb axle on the two horse carrying one horse? These two trailers are the best choice for us out there but we do not want to risk injury to the horse with the heavier axle if it makes that big a difference. The used trailer is 4500 dollars cheaper but may not be worth it. Thanks for the help!

524. Go to Brazilian Carnival
My Story
Updated February 19, 2009
I'm sure it's crazy, crowded, and loud, but when I visit Brazil, I'll do my best to be sure that my trip overlaps with Carnival.
In case you don't know, Carnival is the Brazilian equivalent to New Orleans' Mardi Gras – the last big indulgence celebrated before Lent. I wonder if , much like Mardi Gras, it's mostly celebrated by people who don't actually observe Lent.

Quality Assurance in teacher education through insider evaluation and stakeholder involvement: A case for programme renewal
Jennifer Yamin-Ali, Susan Herbert, Freddy James, Shahiba Ali, Desiree Augustin, Sharon Phillip and Joycelyn Rampersad
This paper presents a description of a teacher education programme evaluation that was initiated, planned, and executed in an attempt to enhance the quality of the programme's content, delivery, and impact. The evaluation comprised reports on the perspectives of major stakeholders on whether the Diploma in Education (Dip.Ed.) programme (2004-2009) had met their expectations, and on the benefits and limitations of the programme and its impact on teachers' practice. Subsequent to the preliminary inquiry into those stakeholders' perpectives, a more probing approach was applied to the perspectives of Heads of Department, School of Education (SOE) staff and Ministry of Education officials. The evaluation was guided by Guskey's (2002) theoretical and conceptual model of evaluating the impact of continuing professional development (CPD) on teachers' practice, and by the fourth generation evaluation model of Guba and Lincoln (1989). The sample for each phase was either stratified random or purposive. This research is significant in that it provides a model for programme evaluation that focuses on the role of the stakeholder in determining effective practice in teacher education. It also highlights the process of rigorous programme evaluation and renewal through staff engagement.

Fantasy football has experienced exponential growth over the past decade. What started as fun way for diehard geeks to manage their own make-believe team has morphed into a way for even casual fans to stay engaged throughout the season.
It's no secret that Fantasy UFABET is big business. All the major networks have implemented tickers with running statistical updates on skill players in an effort to increase viewership, knowing that a spectator with vested interests in a specific player's performance is much more likely to continue watching a lopsided affair than one only interested in the final outcome. Meanwhile, purists of the game are dismayed by the rising craze and suggest that the focus on fantasy sports puts undo emphasis on the individual player and diverts attention away from what is actually the most important aspect of the battle: the final score.
Variety is the Spice of Fantasy Life
Today, many online fantasy services are attempting to appeal to purists and geeks alike by offering a variety of options from which to participate. Confidence Pools and Survivor Pools have grown in popularity, but the oldest adaptation of all has begun to experience a recent renaissance. Pick 'em Pools are as straight-forward as gaming gets, and over the course of the year, represent a true test of the participant's NFL knowledge.
With a Pick 'Em Pool, the object is simply to choose which teams you feel will win or cover the point spread. This is done by either
a) choosing the outright victor
b) choosing the point-spread winner
Outright Winner Option
In variation "a", if you correctly choose the winning team, you are awarded a point. In the end, the individual that accrues the highest number of correct selections wins. A simple strategy would be to just pick the favored teams. Unfortunately, this is a widely-used approach within straight-up Pick 'em Pools, so you'll have to mix in a few upsets to differentiate your picks from other pool members.
Point Spread Option
In variation "b", choosing the right side becomes an even greater challenge. Now you're battling wits with the oddsmakers. Points are awarded only when you choose the team that covered the spread. Though it may sound like a conservative figure, if you can somehow manage an accuracy rate of 55%, you'll have a very good chance of winning your pool.
With fantasy sites now offering to manage your pools for free – many may offer alternatives that deviate from the two methods above, including
– Pick X Pools – the same concept discussed here, but focus on picking your best 5 or 10 games, for example
– Double plays – where a handful of games are awarded higher values based on your certainty of the outcome
– Using Totals – these pools add choices for picking the total points (Under/Over) to the choices
– Drop Weeks – this option allows you to drop your lowest scoring week(s) so your season is not ruined by a few bad choices made during that weekend on campus reliving your college escapades (you will have to face the consequences for certain bad choices as there are no real "Get out of jail free" cards)
Regardless of which configuration you end up in, Pick 'em Pools are a great way to create a captivated interest in every game, week in and week out. So if you're looking for a good complement to traditional Fantasy Football, consider the Pick 'em Pool and make the game's outcome as relevant as your player's performance; thereby satisfying the purist, the gambler and the geek that lives in all of us.

Sometimes I feel like I'm doing nothing, even though I feel like I'm quite busy at the same time. I think I'm just at one of those points where I need to get away from the city again…but I won't be able to until after the pending move.
Friday night I finally made it to Tropic Thunder. Funny, funny movie. Go see it. Even if you normally can't stand Ben Stiller movies. This one is good.
Saturday, I headed down to Mr. Pocket's in Manhattan Beach to catch the watch party for the Duck game. Amazingly enough, the game (UO vs. Boise State), wasn't on TV except for the Oregon's local production. Because of a new TV rights deal, Oregon games not carried by the Pac-10 contracts (ABC/ESPN, FSN, and VS.) are aired on the new Comcast Sports North West (also the new home of the Portland Trailblazers). The problem with this is that since CSNW is owned by Comcast, most of the other cable/satellite/etc providers, do not carry the channel. Normally, this would mean we were out of luck for watching at the bar, but the folks at Mr. Pockets hooked up the streaming feed from the internet, so we could watch it live after all. The game was good (in the end), even though we lost. Oregon played pretty cruddy for 3 quarters and its hard to win games like that (even though we almost came back).
I spent some time going through things in preparation for packing on Sunday. Nothing is packed yet, but I'm pretty much ready to pack. Just waiting on the rental agreement from the landlord to sign and I'll be completely official. I've already started changing my address with the various powers that be.
