The amount of time to complete the training will vary depending on which program you join. As a general rule, you can expect to spend at least 2 months with most programs running about 6 months to 18 months in length.
2. How much does it cost to complete this training?
The costs can vary with each program as well. However, we have found that most medical billing schools will offer their training at a cost of $2,000 to $2,500. Depending on the program, this may or may not include the cost of books, billing software, and supplies. Students also have the option to apply for financial aid in many cases.
3. Do I need to take the certification exam to get a job?
Actually, you do not even have to take the training to get a job. However, the odds of you getting your first job increase by getting this training and the same goes for getting certified. For this reason, we recommend that everyone get certified after the training.

This is not a problem thanks to online education. Now, many people each year are able to fit in this training regardless of how busy their schedule is.

Sabahans lost RM3.1m to Nigerian scams since 2012
City police chief ACP M. Chandra said there have been 19 cases so far this year, the latest involving a middle-aged Chinese businessman who deposited RM67,000 into an account before realising he was being duped.
"We call this Nigerian scams, due to the modus operandi of past cases. The targeted victims are usually women; out of the 86 cases, 80 were women, and all victims were in their 30s to their 50s. All of the cases remain unsolved," he said.
Chandra said that reports usually point to two common schemes, one involving an alleged valuable parcel that the suspects wants to send to the victim, and the other called a "casanova" scam, involving some romantic element.
"In Kota Kinabalu, majority incidents are of the former 'parcel' variety, at 65 cases compared to the casanova love scams at 21 cases, although both involved a similar value of RM1.5 million and RM1.6 million respectively," he said.
According to Chandra, the scams start through social media platforms like Facebook, WeChat and Skype, and the suspect takes time to get to know their victim and earn their trust. The process usually takes about six months.
"Once the victims are comfortable, the suspect then tells them they want to send them a package with valuable possessions and money as a token of their friendship, and even sends them a copy of an alleged courier delivery slip for authenticity.
"Then they will get a phone call from a 'local authority' like the Customs Department, asking them for a 'fee' to release the parcel. Once the victim believes them and banks it in, then they get another call, this time from an embassy from the suspect's country, telling them the imported items are 'protected' and they need an 'anti terrorist certificate'," he said.
The casanova scams are similar, but involving the suspect being detained by immigration and requires a "release" fee and guarantor.
At this point, some victims begin to suspect they are being scammed while others continue to pay the money.
"These cases are extremely hard to solve due to the virtual nature of the crime. The suspects can be anywhere and are hard to trace as they use fake profile photos of caucasian men. Even the bank account used for the money can be another crime on its own," he said.
Chandra said that the state police are working with federal counterparts in Bukit Aman to solve these cases.
"But meanwhile I caution people here not to trust strangers they meet, especially online. Be suspicious once they start asking for money or personal details and check with us if they have any suspicion," he said.

With so many distractions around us and at the touch of our fingertips in terms of technology, it can be hard to find the motivation to get outside and exercise or stop scrolling through various apps while you lay in bed. It can be frustrating to realize that you have wasted half an hour texting looking through Insta profiles of people you don't even know. Getting that jump start can be hard but here are three apps to get you off the couch and motivated to take on whatever the day has to throw at you.
ThinkUp: Positive Affirmations
This app is designed to help you eliminate negative thoughts that will impede you on the road to success. You can select an area of your life that you need motivation in such as your career, health, or relationships. Once you have set a goal the app will work to provide you with inspirational messages geared towards you meeting your goal. The primary focus is for you to embrace the power of positivity on your path to change.
Fabulous: Motivate Me! Relax, Meditate, Sleep
While this app is also goals-oriented it takes a slightly different approach by putting a primary focus on relaxation, meditation, and sleep habits as the keys to aiding in goal completion. You will need to input your specific goals so that an action plan can be personalized for you and if you do not meet the small goals set out throughout the week the app definitely lets you know. You will find yourself wanting the positive affirmation of completing a goal and begin to train yourself to stay on track.
Motivate: Daily Motivation
If you are a more of a visual learner and prefer to hear from those who have experienced similar situations to yourself and how they have overcome them then this will be the choice for you. It collects videos from some of the top motivational speakers in the world and then tailor's them to your specific needs. If you are trying to focus on health-related goals then the videos that are recommended to you will be geared towards meeting health goals and those who have managed it. This is a more interactive experience than the previous two.
If you just need that extra push then try one of these apps and set yourself the goal of following a prescribed action plan for just one week. After you have followed it for a couple of days it will get easier and easier and you will find yourself achieving your objectives.

|The Tornado
The Tornado is a vintage style biplane used by Sonic and Tails to travel long distances. The plane is owned by Sonic but he allows Tails to pilot the plane while he stands on the top wing. The plane is armed with machine guns and homing lasers for defence purposes and has been frequently used in combat against numerous Eggman airships.
- The plane was teased in an image released on the LEGO Dimensions Twitter page where it is shown below Sonic.
- The design of this Tornado resembles the design of the Tornado-1 seen in Sonic Adventure.
- When riding this vehicle as Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails will appear piloting it while Sonic stands on the upper wing. However, on the packaging for the Level Pack, Sonic is shown piloting the plane on his own.
- This is probably the first vehicle to have another character piloting it, the second being Elliott's bike.
- One of the alternate skins is based of the Tornado 2, while another is based of its appearance in the Genesis games, Sonic the Hedgehog 4, and Sonic Lost World.

Procter & Gamble, the world's largest household products maker, cut its sales and earnings outlook for the year on Tuesday to reflect unfavorable foreign exchange rates in Venezuela and the devaluation of currencies in various developing markets.
The changed outlook reflects the recent devaluation against the dollar of the Argentine peso, Turkish lira, South African rand, Russian ruble, Ukrainian hryvnia, Brazilian real and several other currencies, said P&G, whose products include Pampers diapers and Tide detergent.
For U.S. companies that do substantial business in developing countries, the devaluations cause their earnings in those currencies to be worth less when converted back to dollars.
(Read more: Procter &Gamble provides protection in down markets: Pro)
Procter & Gamble said it now sees growth in core earnings per share of 3 percent to 5 percent, down from its prior outlook for growth of 5 to 7 percent. It also revised its forecast for sales growth to a range of flat to a rise of 2 percent versus its prior forecast for growth in a range of 1 to 2 percent.
Procter & Gamble shares dipped 0.5 percent to $78.45 in after-market trading on Tuesday, after closing up 1.4 percent at $78.84 in regular trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
The U.S. dollar is expected to make steady gains against major currencies this year as a recovery in the world's largest economy gains steam and gives the Federal Reserve room to wind down its stimulus program.
Plunging emerging market currencies have forced many global companies to hedge foreign currency exposure more aggressively and raise prices frequently.

- Treat infected teeth and eliminate pain
- Relieves pressure associated with dental abscess
- Keep your natural teeth and avoid extraction
- Payment plans available
When a tooth becomes infected, is traumatised or develops a crack into the nerve chamber, this can cause a lot of pain and sometimes an abscess can form.
A root canal procedure involves cleaning the infection out of the tooth to relieve pain and remove the abscess, and is usually completed over 2-3 visits.
By having a root canal completed, you are able to retain your own teeth, avoiding an extraction.
How long does it take?
The time taken to complete a root canal depends entirely on the tooth; how many roots it has, the difficulty of negotiating these roots, and the level/extent of infection that was present to start with.
Appointment times vary from 45-90 mins, and usually 2-3 of these are required to complete the procedure.
The reason for multiple visits is to allow time for the medication placed inside the tooth at the first visit to begin to kill off the bacteria that have caused the infection.
Once the root canal is completed, will my tooth be back to normal?
in that, your tooth should no longer cause you pain, and you should be able to return to chewing on it like usual.
However, because of the nature of the root canal procedure, your tooth will be slightly weakened once the infection has been cleared out, making it brittle and prone to fracture under heavy forces.
For this reason, a crown is almost always recommended to protect the tooth from any further damage, and to strengthen the tooth so it can return to function normally without risk of breaking.
Dr Vik and Dr Olivia will discuss this with you at your appointment, and will recommend the best time to have the crown placed following your root canal procedure.

The AF8 exam is demanding: it's all about how to actively and skilfully analyse and apply your knowledge into a client case study. You need the ability to actively analyse, evaluate and apply information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication with your clients.
You know that our world of work is changing at an ever-increasing pace and everyone is looking for the best study methods, best way to learn or the quickest way to pass: "How do I get better and do it quicker?"
But, be careful: the AF8 exam is not an easy option and is not an option you can rush into.
It requires to you think slowly. It requires you to think and intellectually critically analyse a client case.
Decision making and problem solving requires you to gather reliable information, evaluating the information for a variety of solutions and selecting the most appropriate option based on the criteria and situation. This AF8 exam is not an easy option.
You must demonstrate problem-solving skills and actively demonstrate an understanding of critical thinking – which takes time. You must think slowly and think critically in the context of your client case study.
That can be difficult to master in a world which wants instant solutions.
Of course, we are in the knowledge business. Thinking is the core of our being. It's the core of our professional existence: deeper thinking leads to deeper advice for our clients: advice which has been demonstrated to have been thought through slowly, deliberately and critically.
In the AF8 Retirement Planning exam you are expected to compare different outcomes. You analyse, dissect and make informed judgement based on different models.
Read a book once and you will probably have a shallow understanding. Read a book multiple times, take notes, summarise concepts, and guess what, you understand the ideas deeply.
A shallow thinker solves one problem with one known solution whilst a deep thinker approaches multiple problems from different angles and AF8 requires you think deeper and think critically in delivering the appropriate advice for the client.
The AF8 Retirement planning exam is about developing and demonstrating your ability to break down complex tasks into bite size chunks, improvise, and shift strategies to meet different types of advice challenges – and we will provide you with the best (and only) guidance available for AF8 exam students. We will show you how to:
- How to structure an essay: we show you how to do that;
- How to critically evaluate a situation: we demonstrate to you how that should look;
- How to evaluate and demonstrate a logical conclusion: we show you, using real examples, using a real case study how to develop your critical thinking skills.
If you are beginning your AF8 journey and this is your starting point, then it may well be the first time you've been taught anything about critically evaluating appropriate advice. This course has been designed with you in mind and is essential to guide you through to exam success:

Supergiant Games Reveals New Game Pyre
Kalvin Martinez / Apr 20th, 2016 No Comments
Supergiant Games announced their latest game to be released in 2017. Pyre is a party-based role-playing game being developed for PlayStation 4 and Steam.
The developer released a reveal trailer for the game and a bit details regarding the game's story. Like Transistor and Bastion, Pyre will feature the developer's atmospheric presentation and stroytelling combined with fast-paced action-RPG gameplay.
Unlike Supergiant's previous games, Pyre has you commanding a team of characters where you face off against rival bands of exiles with each party's freedom on the line. Pyre will have character building as your team bonds as they journey through "the Downside".
The game begins with the main character near death, a wandering group of masked individuals come across you and revive you. After you join the group you help them learn more about the Rites, a secret competition where the worthiest band of exiles can return home.
You'll journey through a purgatory-like land call the Downside in a custom blackwagon, which will act as your home during the game. During your journey you'll meet a wide variety of characters and learn what's at stake should they find salvation in the Rites. It'll be up to you to decide who gets to go home and who must remain an exile in the Downside for eternity.
PAX East attendees can try out Pyre at Supergiant's booth (#8212) on April 22-24 and let them know what you think about the new game on Twitter.
Pyre will be available in 2017 on PS4 and Steam with more information to come.
Reveal Trailer
Quick Take
It's been a while since we've heard from Supergiant Games following the 2014 release of Transistor. With PAX East coming up, much like Transistor, it was the perfect time for the developer to announce a new game. Pyre looks to continue Supergiant's fondness of playing around with role-playing conventions and story. The party-based aspect should result in deeper character development over the course of the game.
While the trailer hints at the gameplay, there seems to be a soccer-like set-up with two teams angling to throw an orb into the other side's bonfire. It'll be interesting to see what people make of it when they get their hands on it this weekend. Once again the music in the reveal trailer is fantastic and Pyre should give Darren Korb another opportunity to create some wildly compelling music.
It'll be an agonizing wait for Pyre's release in 2017, but we're big fans of Supergiant's work here at Gaming Illustrated so we're excited to learn more new information.

Our oldest is an 19-year-old college junior; our youngest is a 4-year-old who fought a deadly illness when he was two months old. In between we have 6 more kids.
Once upon a time I had a degree in music and was pursuing a Master's Degree, but the Master Himself called me to something far greater, right here in my home. These days in and amongst the busyness of a household of 10, I am finding my identity, acceptance, purpose, value, significance, and security in God through Jesus alone by grace through faith in Him.

There are photos of open suitcases all over our Instagram feed and there's a good reason--beautifully packed suitcases are works of art to a traveler. Here at MATCH ATLAS, our favorite way to pack is to lay everything out by outfit---and we mean EVERYTHING--shoes, jewelry, accessories, underwear, socks. When you lay it out by outfit, you'll be able to mix & match with pieces you're already bringing and easily spot the gaps in what you're missing.
You'll also be able to see your color scheme and then edit from there. Are those brown booties really worth bringing for just ONE outfit when all of your other outfits go with your favorite black shoes? We think not!
Once you have your outfits coordinated, roll or fold each outfit #konmari style and pack them upright so you'll be able to see at quick glance as soon as you open your luggage. Most people tend to pack in layers but it makes it difficult to reach whatever you've put at the bottom of your luggage (like that suit that you'll need upon arrival for a dip in the hotel pool) so arranging your clothing upright keeps it all in one neat layer. If you're packing a bulkier item like a jacket, bathrobe, beach towel, you can lay the single item right on top.
Happy packing!

In an interview on Saturday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the first consignment of flood relief aid from Kuwait that was provided for Iran in recent days signifies the prevailing sense of responsibility for humanitarian issues, the solidarity, and expression of fraternity among the Muslim nations at the time of natural disasters.
He noted that a number of other Asian and European countries are also attempting to freight humanitarian aids to Iran's flood-hit areas, saying he will announce more details in future.
On Friday, the first aircraft of a Kuwaiti relief bridge landed in Iran on the orders of Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
The plane carried around 40 tons of aid and a team of Kuwaiti volunteers to Iran.
Record spring rainfall that has battered Iran in the past weeks caused serious flooding in many areas, mainly the provinces of Golestan, Lorestan, Khuzestan, Fars and Ilam, forcing thousands to leave their homes.
The death toll from the floods has hit 70, while the highest number of casualties occurred in the province of Fars with 21 deaths.
While residents in some western areas are still in need of relief aid, the Army Ground Force, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and Basij have deployed forces, heavy military machinery, aircraft and boats to the disaster zones.

A philosophy comic has reminded me humans probably have no free will.
The comic's example: imagine you travel back in time one year. You secretly watch a copy of yourself relive that entire year. Since you lived it, you can predict your every thought and action.
Now imagine you're playing The Sims, the computer game where you create computerized people and watch them live. You make their personalities and environment, and how they'll make their decisions. You could watch them live for a year and predict virtually their every thought and action.
These two scenarios are ultimately the same thing. It's hard to claim a simple computer program has free will, so how can we claim humans have it?
All humans are basically robots making decisions based on things we can't control: our personalities, environments, and the laws of physics. We're just a lot more complex than Sims and we don't understand the whole decision-making process. Not yet, anyway.
Also sadly, there's no reset buttons or money cheat codes. Not yet, anyway.

Should DTC brands sell on Amazon?
Is Amazon friend or foe? This is one of the most common questions anyone in e-commerce asks themselves. On one side, Amazon's incredible operational infrastructure and ubiquitous customer base present an opportunity for most brands. On the other, their willingness to move up / down the value chain and compete fiercely is well-demonstrated.
Walmart grew from $26B to over $400B in sales from 1990 to 2010. In those days, by not working with Walmart, you were conceding a huge portion of the market and much of the market's growth. Today if you avoid selling on Amazon, I fear you are doing the same and the market will leave you behind.
There are three reasons why most brands should be selling on Amazon: to leverage the organic growth of Amazon, play defense against third party sellers, and to build a new merchandising capability.
Brands need to come to terms with the trends facing retail. Amazon represents 49% of online commerce today and will drive 80% of the growth in e-commerce this year. The sheer dollar growth of Amazon cannot be ignored — over $50B in 2018 alone. For all brands, there is only 2 paths: you can decide that the remaining 'non-Amazon' portion of the market is big enough for you or you can ride the Amazon wave.
In the digital world, you must play offensive and defense. Chances are that a third party seller has already listed your products on Amazon and the product / service experience they are providing reflects on your brand. For many traditional brand managers, this is reason enough to have an Amazon presence and actively defend your brand equity. The more traction third party sellers gain, the harder it is to displace them. In a world where the consumer can decide where to buy your product, you must be everywhere.
Lastly, I believe the function of merchandising is changing. Merchants used to be the deciders of what products would be available to consumers and largely use historical sales data or gut feel to make most of these decisions. Merchants must figure out what consumers want in order to succeed but today's world gives them a new toolset for doing this. Merchants also need to figure out how consumers will find these products. Finding something through a search box is a lot different from an organized store with eye catching signs. Merchants of the future will need to think about what search terms might drive the customer to this product and what features will lead the consumer to convert. These merchants will be trained to understand google trends, website analytics, digital marketing tactics and will need to use this to inform how they buy products. Brands and retailers can start building this capability now by leveraging channels like Amazon to understand future shopping behavior.
I believe it's possible to create a great company without selling on Amazon; however, I don't know why you would.

Pharaohs and Queens of Ancient EgyptSpring 2016 Storytelling
Jim Weiss has been a familiar voice in households and minivans for 25 years. It's no wonder that his catalog of recordings is a key element of many homeschooling and "car-schooling" programs.
Did you know that one powerful ruler of Egypt was actually a woman? Since the pharaoh needed to be a man, the young woman Hatshepsut transformed herself, assuming all the ceremonial trappings of male authority, from headgear to a false beard and ruled as a male. Her unusual reign was much longer and more consequential than that of the more famous King Tut, whose significance was more in the drama of discovery than the deeds of his reign. Was the curse of Tut real?
Pharaohs and Queens of Ancient Egypt combines history and storytelling to present Ancient Egypt in all its rich wonder. From the geographic significance of the Nile River to the lives of the Pharaohs to the archeological discovery of Tut's tomb, Weiss expertly presents the world of ancient Egypt in a way that is accessible and interesting to listeners from elementary to junior high age. He becomes a one-man cast, acting out the drama of Egyptian history through his varied and convincing voices, creating the drama and excitement that brings the material to life. /p>

Our business address services; a quick breakdownFebruary 15, 2018 10:46 am
As a quick reminder, companies formed within the United Kingdom are required by law to provide a registered office address, which acts as the official address for all the companies' correspondence from Companies House, HMRC and other entities.
So whether you're taking your first steps to researching the company registration process, or choosing your package, you may well have come across the address services that we offer here.
The three services (registered office, director's office and mail forwarding services) are available for the simple reason to offer a virtual address service for both the company, and also a director within that company, as well the forwarding of the mail. We effectively take care of the handling and forwarding of the business mail, whereby that by statutory or non-statutory.
We understand that for some, you may not wish to publish the actual operating address, with a common example being that an individual would not want to be viewed as trading from a residential address. Also, you may be in a situation where the rental agreement at your property restricts the use of commercial activity. The address services are a simply way of providing that commercial address for you on the public record.
As the address takes our physical office address here in Nottingham in the Midlands, we receive the mail address to you immediately and subsequently handle and forward it directly ourselves.
Furthermore, we also understand that for many, the implication of perception in where the business is registered is imperative to their business; and hence why the address services are key to many starting up their life as a private limited company.
Our main rationale for designing the service is so you can instil trust with your customers, as I'm sure you're aware it's particularly important at the early stage of building and developing your business.
The forwarding of the business mail is sent within 48 hours (and this includes correspondence from Companies House & HMRC). If wish for a more digitally manage process whereby we can scan and store mail for you, then speak to us about this and we can arrange it.
We're always happy and receptive to talk about these services in as much detail, and not to forget that you can find these services within our Privacy, All-inclusive and International Packages.

How An Unusual Choice Made This Girl A Global Sensation At Just 19
In our 1.3 billion-strong country, the craze for all sort of sports is catching fire. In the beginning of 21 century, the awareness for various sports and hype around a sportsperson was not so high. Now, there is a dramatic growth in the arena of world sports.
Earlier, the only sport that was revered was cricket. Now, various sports such as kabaddi, wrestling, soccer, hockey, lawn tennis, etc are seeing rising popularity; and one such sport is golf. Although it too is a male dominated area Aditi Ashok has come out with flying colors and built a reputation for herself in the last few years.
Born in 1998 in Bangalore, Aditi started playing golf at the young age of five. Soon, she realized that this was the goal in her life, she wanted to play golf as a professional. She joined Karnataka Golf Association where she was trained by Steven Giuliano, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At the age of nine, she played her debut tournament in Karnataka Golf Club. Her father Pandit Gudlamani Ashok encouraged her a lot and helped her grow as a golfer. He also serves as Aditi's caddie.
This right-handed player turned a pro on January 1, 2016. She won many amateur tournaments before she turned a success. Aditi became the youngest and first Indian to win the Lalla Aicha Tour School and secured her Ladies European Tour card for the 2016 season. This win also made her the youngest winner of a Q School for an international tour.
She is the first and the only Indian golfer who played the Asian Youth Games (2013), Youth Olympic Games (2014), Asian Games (2014) and Olympic Games (2016).
Aditi won the 2016 Hero Women's Indian Open with a score of 3-under-par 213, and in the process became the first Indian to win a Ladies European Tour title. She picked up a second win two weeks later at the Qatar Ladies Open and finished the season second on the Order of Merit. She won the Rookie of the Year award. She also gained a LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour card for 2017 via the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.
"I have had some good finishes in the Indian Open but to get the job done finally feels really good and especially finishing victorious in front of my home crowd is a really good feeling."
Aditi was the only woman golfer representing India at Rio in 2016 when the sport made its return to Olympics after 112 years. Aditi qualified on the basis of Olympic criteria of players being eligible on world ranking. According to the criteria, a maximum of two eligible players from each country that does not already have two or more players among the top-15 are selected.
In 2011, Aditi had won USHA Karnataka Junior, Southern India Junior, Faldo Series Asia-India, East India Tolly Ladies, All India Championship and in 2012 she took away USHA Delhi Ladies, USHA Army Championship, All India Junior. While 2013 saw Aditi clinching Asia Pacific Junior Championship and in 2014 it was Eastern India Ladies Amateur, USHA IGU All India Ladies & Girls Championship. The 2015 year increased that tally of tournament wins as amateur as she won Army Ladies & Junior Championship, St Rule Trophy, Southern India Ladies & Junior Girls Championship, Ladies' British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship, and Thailand Amateur Open. In 2011 she got Hero Professional Tour Leg 1, Hero Professional Tour Leg 3.
"It feels good to win the championship, I was playing good all year, I had four top 10 finishes. I had a good front nine but made a few mistakes on the back nine, but overall it was good," Aditi said.
She has set a record in 2012 and 2014, by representing India in Espirito Santo Trophy.
Aditi has chosen a not-so-famous-sport in India and is adding stars to its reputation. There is a lot she still has to learn and teach. Her inclination towards the sport is contagious and has made her grow as a sportsperson. At such a young age Aditi has already set milestones and has proved if you believe in your dreams one day they come out to be true.

Group activities for the Geomancy Group will consist of:
- Conference Calls
- Group Exchange--Yahoo Groups, or more likely Facebook. This group will be limited to members of the Geomancy Group within the ASD. You can ask questions, or just be a fly on the wall and learn from others queries. I will post items periodically on interesting findings. This is a great way to become a better dowser and learn about Mother Earth. I am looking to fashion this group exchange after a very informative dowsing list serve I was on years ago. We will learn from each other and because membership is limited and focused you are not barraged by spam. My experiences, as well as for others, was phenomenal. I learned a lot from beloved ASD member Joe Smith (dancing pendulums)and Nigel Percy that has gone on to form a very successful dowsing business, discovering dowsing. I am sure they learned from me.
I will post more information about this in the next week or so.
Participating in this group would be a good way to learn more about dowsing and Mother Earth.
PS Membership to the ASD includes receiving the quarterly newsletter and discounts on the conference.

Seven of our youngsters had their poems entered for a competition called Poetry Escape. The theme was to inspire students to let the world know what matters to them and express this through poetry.
The pupils explored some issues relating to society, friends, bullying, school, social media, injustice and poverty.
The poetry they wrote gave them a platform to voice their opinions, thoughts and feelings, break down barriers and liberate their creativity.
The seven poems sent to the competition have been selected to be published in a book. Out of 8,000 entries across London schools it is a great achievement for Francis Barber students.
The following pupils worked hard to explore the themes and created poetry using a range of styles
Society in real life – Housing by Ellie
Bike Life by Dylan
Danger on London Streets by Dante
Why do I have to go to school? by Billy
Bikes Up, Knives Down by Jay
Crime by Louie
Grenfell by Jabari
A display was put up in the classroom for the pupils to be proud of their work and also to await news if we had any winning entries. Some examples are included below.
The favourite five published poems from this competition will each win £100 – to be announced next term.
I will continue to link with Young Writers a s they have very good resources and the pupils enjoy being part of a competition.
A book and a free copy with all the entries will be forwarded to the school.

Bigge adds 25 new tower cranes to fleet
Crane rental and sales business Bigge has added 25 new Potain tower cranes to its fleet.
The new cranes are the Potain MDT 219 J10 model. Bigge tower crane and hoist sales manager Jesse Sullivan said: "Market demand for tower cranes has increased in the past five years, and our efforts to provide best in class equipment for our customer base continues to be our driving force. We currently have over 60 tower cranes servicing California, and we expect this to increase because of market demand and the versatility of our fleet."
The MDT 219 J10, part of Potain's MDT CCS City Range generation has a capacity of 11 tons. The CCS system controls crane configuration during installation and provides maintenance reports to the operators once in use. Bigge said that both the integrated maintenance reports and crane configuration technology allow the crane to have a simple, fast and efficient assembly, saving time and money.
Bigge already had one MDT 219 J10 on site assisting in the construction of the Brooklyn Basin project in Oakland, California. The unit, which was erected In April 2017, employs a cross base chassis, eliminating the need for a concrete foundation and consumable anchors. It is being used to move construction materials including steel, concrete and timber.
Bigge is also an authorized factory dealer for Potain's City Class cranes.

A student at Kansas Wesleyan University is scammed for over $3,000.
Captain Paul Forrester tells KSAL News that a 19-year-old male student thought he found a money making opportunity through an online dating service known as seeking arrangements.com.
Police say the full time college student signed up to provide companionship over the telephone for a client and was told he would make $400 a month.
The ruse began in late February and soon the so called "client" began asking the victim for money to help some down and out friends.
The victim sent over $3,300 to the scammer via MoneyGram at Wal-Mart before contacting police.

IFRS Foundation Responds to the EC Consultation on the Impact of IFRS in the EU
The IFRS Foundation has sent a response letter to EC (European Commission) explaining its understanding on how the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has positively impacted the financial reporting in Europe. The letter also explained the significance of these international standards in obtaining the goals of new EC.
The EC started a public discussion to get the views on the effect of International Financial Reporting Standards in Europe. The EC specifically focused on views relating to relevance, cost and benefit analysis and scope of international accounting standards framework. In addition to these concerns the foundation letter focused on two points.
Firstly IFRS should be viewed as worldwide accounting language. Local authorities around the globe have made very little changes in these standards and these few changes are normally seen as momentary measures in the local authorities plan to apply IFRS. Locations like Europe would miss the advantages of worldwide accepted standards if they do not adopt IFRS and make changes in standards. As a result of not adopting IFRS, the European companies will not be comparable to other companies around the globe and investors will not be able to get vital and comparable information. Further to be able to get access to global capital markets they will have to adjust their financial statements.
Secondly, the IFRS Foundation observed that International Financial Reporting Standards are crucial in obtaining the goals of the new EC. The letter indicated that application of IFRS is important as the capital markets around the globe have become more integrated and there is need of comparability within the European market. The increased transparency in financial statements prepared under IFRS will help the investors in analyzing the information in a better way and assist them in decision making which in turn will entice more investment. Hence having comparable financial information is vital in attracting investments and increasing the economic growth which is one of the main objectives of EC.

Smooth: Apple, Vanilla, Supple, Fresh
Pommery is one of the top Champagne houses, producing over 500,000 cases of Champagne a year. Located right in the town of Reims, this is a Champagne house for those who appreciate subtlety over power and richness.
Great to have a fresh, tasty Champagne for the holidays. The house style is soft and light and the fruit comes through to give it depth. This is a great value as an aperitif or with seafood.

Two nor'easter storms are heading towards Canada and their effects could be felt as early as tonight.
Nor'easter storms so far have been creating great destruction on the coast of the United States. Now two more are going to move up the U.S. coast and then into Canada.
Environment Canada has issued multiple special weather statements for Atlantic Canada with some warnings.
Starting tonight, "Atlantic Canada will start to feel the effects of a triple nor'easter threat as the risk for heavy snow and damaging winds persist through the weekend," The Weather Network reports.
The most recent nor'easter storm that has been greatly affecting Massachusetts and the Atlantic Coast of the United States is moving eastward away from the continent. As it leaves it will make room for two other systems to come up from the south along the U.S. Eastern coastline to Canada.
The systems are smaller than the last nor'easter but they will hit Canada's Atlantic coast more directly than the last one, according to the Weather Network.
The first one will come on Thursday, March 8, across the Maritimes. The second one could come on Friday a little off the coast and affect Newfoundland. The systems will bring snow, rain, and wind into the region.
Marine warnings for the region have also been issued.
The large nor'easter that is moving offshore has already caused eight deaths in the United States, mainly due to falling trees and branches.
In Massachusetts, Governor Baker declared a State of Emergency on Saturday in order to "help protect the Commonwealth's citizens and property from the impacts of the storm and expedite the use of Commonwealth resources throughout the recovery process."
The National Guard was activated to assist with evacuations and they mobilized 53 vehicles to various cities, towns and strategic locations throughout Eastern Massachusetts, according to the government of Massachusetts.
The State of Emergency ended only yesterday.
In total, power has been knocked out for more than 2 million homes across the U.S. Atlantic coast. More than 1800 people have fled their homes due to floodwaters, and over 200 members of the National Guard were activated to help victims, according to The Guardian.
The Northeastern U.S. states are preparing for the upcoming storms, with more strong winds, coastal flooding, and heavy rains, and snowfall predicted, according to reports from Accuweather. "Multiple state of emergency declarations have been issued in the Northeast as the region prepares for another disruptive storm."
Those who live in affected regions in Canada can monitor alerts on Environment Canada or subscribe to RSS feeds.

The Power of Lace: A Voluptuous Soundtrack

Facebook, twitter, tumblr, blogging and most of all E-MAILS consume my days and suck me dry of creativity too often. I wake up with the intentions of developing new work and the next thing I know, it's four in the afternoon and all I have done is sit at my computer, firing off email after email. Recently, one of the things I've changed about my life is my usage of the internet, limiting the amount of time I offer the intangible world to two hours a day, unless I am using it for research, or to read a column (Ahem). At times I've considered falling off the face of the Internet, but unfortunately, like many of us, my career has no mercy for those of us who suffer from online anxiety. Many aspects of our work and lives depend on the cyber beast known as the Internet.
"The nightgown is an all encompassing, timeless wonder, symbolizing the fragility and vulnerability of the female soul while also remaining erotically charged, filling a girl up with confidence, grace, and power."
I've come to the conclusion that I was born into the wrong era, intended to be in my 20's in the 40's if you will. Rhonda Shear's old world nightgown and robe offer encouragement to this idea, and these self-portraits feel like evidence to back up my theory. This luscious lavender number embraces my hourglass figure as I slip it on and the feathered robe provides comfort through concepts of costume; making it the ultimate escape from technology for every girl.
I suppose there are some areas of technology that I am thankful for such as the birth of the "talkies." My hyper -ADD brain can barely sit through an entire movie as it is, I can't imagine what I would do if they were all silent! But then again, my boyfriend insists that my lack of ability to concentrate is partially due to the Internet as well, so who knows? Regardless, in reading about the "talkies," I was fascinated by the fact that these beautiful nightgowns and robes created a "voluptuous sound track" in Hollywood films. We have heroines such as Rita Hayworth and Jean Harlow to show gratitude for the nightgown's progressive sophistication in mainstream households and we have Rhonda Shear to thank for bringing it back to life.
"This luscious lavender number embraces my hourglass figure as I slip it on…"
Before the days of Rita and Jean, as late as the 1930's, nightgowns came with holes in them for intercourse, and eroticism was only meant for prostitutes. The nightgown flourished however, and by the 1940's, it was too elegant not to be worn by the woman of the house, and too sexy not to turn that woman into pure seduction. As a result, sex goddess was added to the list of wifely duties. Amen! Thank God things have changed, otherwise this sexy number would not have scored so high on the, "Buffalo Meter" (as my boyfriend, Buffalo, likes to call it) 4 out of 5 Buffalo, not bad!
When I slip into Rhonda Shear, I am the lady of the house more than ever. The nightgown doubles as my dressing gown, another common piece worn in the 1940's, (which I highly recommend bringing back, designers!). The piece gets me into the right mind as I paint on my cat-eyes and set my hair for a night out on the town.
"The piece gets me into the right mind as I paint on my cat-eyes and set my hair for a night out on the town."
The nightgown is an all encompassing, timeless wonder, symbolizing the fragility and vulnerability of the female soul while also remaining erotically charged, filling a girl up with confidence, grace, and power.

Zeopore Technologies was conceived at the KU Leuven after Danny Verboekend discovered Zeopore's core technologies in the group of Prof. Bert Sels. In the same group, Martin d'Halluin was closely working with Danny to explore the potential of the developed technologies. Both are extremely happy to form, together with Kurt du Mong, Zeopore' founding team.
Within the Zeopore team, we believe in no-nonsense approaches to transform zeolites into better catalysts. Catalytic benefits are only relevant when the cost price is acceptable and when the green character of zeolites is guaranteed. We aim to solve problems, and we have accordingly generated technologies that provide the shortest scientific and economical path from A to B.
Our know-how combined with elegant solutions make short work of the persistent obstacles in the synthesis of superior accessible zeolites. Zeopore is first to offer high-quality mesoporous zeolites at a realistic environmental and economic price. We are wholeheartedly convinced in the potential of our zeolites, and see it as our mission to bring these 'next-generation boiling stones' within reach of industry.
