Send my friend to school
The National Education Union is a core supporter of Send My Friend to School, the campaign which brings together thousands of children across the UK to speak up for the right to education and remind world leaders of their promise that all children should get the chance to go to school.
The campaign seeks to increase community awareness of the state of education internationally and generate the political will necessary to ensure that the UK plays an active and effective part in the efforts to secure education for all.
Quality education is empowering and transformative: it prepares young people for life, helps them reach their full potential, and has a central role in making the world more peaceful and prosperous.
But for this to happen, schools need to be safe havens – places where young people are able to learn and thrive. In the UK, we often take this principle for granted, but unfortunately, around the world, each year 246 million children experience violence at school. This has to stop.
That is why the Send My Friend to School campaign, of which the NEU is a founding member and remains a key supporter, focused on the theme Make Schools Safe in 2018, specifically asking the UK to sign the Safe Schools Declaration.
While this goal was achieved, more work needs to be done to ensure the UK implements the Declaration and takes other steps to ensure safe schools for all children and teachers across the globe.
Campaign success
At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in April 2018, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Boris Johnson announced that the UK would sign the Safe Schools Declaration.
The Send My Friend to School Campaign was a key player in this effort and we are proud to have been a part of it.
Organising for international solidarity
Solidarity is a key trade union value. The NEU stands in solidarity with the many teachers around the world who are unable to carry out their vocation as they languish in prison, simply because they are trade unionists.
Global issues affecting women and girls
75 million children, of whom 41 million are girls, do not go to primary school.

In 2018, a delegation of members went to Cuba to examine current educational provision in rural and urban environments. The group visited primary, secondary, special educational needs and arts schools; met teachers and trade unions; and took part in historical, cultural and community visits.
NEU International affiliations
Solidarity is at the heart of the NEU, be that domestically or internationally, internally or externally. We work in partnership with a variety of international campaigns and organisations to deliver our goals and theirs.
In Whose Interest? The UK's role in privatising education around the world

It is with little arrogance that I chose this blog's title. This project is an exercise in manifestation designed to better inform my practice of helping others through, among other tools, the cultivation of mindfulness and the reinforcing power of habit. I have been a social worker since 2002 and and received my LCSW in 2006. Recently I have experienced a decline into the proverbial rut and believe that the answer to this dilemma will be to revisit and actively pursue the sincerity and compassion that have marked the most rewarding periods of my career and life in general. I expect things to get hairy and plan to never shy away from my experiences whilst putting them into writing using this platform. If you choose to come along for the ride I can promise you that there will be no shortage of interesting phenomena. Such things are, to the contrary, a remarkably renewable resource for us social workers and helpers. Please come back as I will be blogging regularly. The game is afoot.

Indeed! I started my experience in living at Union Square, in the historic St. Francis Hotel on Powell and Geary to be exact. The hotel opened in 1904, just two years before the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake that, along with fires that ensued, turned most of the city into a pile of smoldering rubble. Remarkably, St. Francis suffered only minor damage from the quake but was gutted by fire. Re-opened after renovation in 1907, the hotel in the decades to come has continued to host famous guests from Hellen Keller and Woodrow Wilson to Douglas MacArthur.
St. Francis was a great starting point to explore the city. Like every other tourist, I figured I'd start with riding on the famous San Francisco cable car to get the lay of the land, going on the Powell-Mason line up to Fisherman's Warf. In retrospect, I choose to remember only the good aspects of that experience – 19th century charm of the cars and great vistas from the hilltops – and ignore the less pleasant ones: overpriced tickets for overcrowded rides and inexplicably unfriendly conductors. Guys, if you don't have a disposition for a customer-facing job please consider a career change instead of taking it out on people for whom that is supposed to be a fun experience.

I really do enjoy cooking. Sometimes, it's a therapeutic form of stress relief. Sometimes, I like to cook seasonal dishes — the first chill of autumn is exciting. Not only because it indicates that Texas summer has lost its death grip on us but also because I can get out my gumbo pot.
Fractions in the Kitchen? Get out.
Recently, on a weekend morning I was making a breakfast pie (recipe here, because I'm not a mean cook). It's one of my go-to recipes for an easy, delicious, homecooked breakfast meal. I've made this for years and gotten it down to a science.
A dear family member gave me a beautiful deep-dish pie plate that I like to use. It bakes a mean blueberry pie. But I tried making a sausage pie in it once and the recipe didn't make enough filling to fill the dish. It was just over halfway full, so doubling the recipe wouldn't work. Recipe calls for 3 eggs, so I couldn't make 1-1/2 times the recipe, either. Eggs are funny that way – they tend to limit what you can do with a recipe proportionally. Talk about a domain restriction.
With my brow furrowed, I got out the recipe (I've made this so long I don't even look anymore) and studied the eggs, milk, and cream cheese mixture since that's the heart of the filling contents. Couple of mumblings and some air math with fingers, and Eureka!
The revised Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Math, Grade 4 includes a nifty way to think about fractions.
(A) represent a fraction a/b as a sum of fractions 1/b, where a and b are whole numbers and b > 0, including when a > b.
In the kitchen, 4.3A looks like this. 3/4 cup of milk is really 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4. Or another way to think about it is that it's 3, 1/4-cups of milk. Once I had that epiphany (yes, I can be smarter than a 4th grader at times) then I saw the magic combination — 3 eggs, 3 quarter-cups of milk, and 3 ounces of cream cheese. Employing my sharp sense of logical reasoning, I supposed that if I scaled this combination up to a multiple of 5 — 5 eggs, 5 quarter-cups of milk, and 5 ounces of cream cheese — that I would have enough filling to nicely fill the pie plate.
Lo and behold, that's just what happened.
My point in sharing this story is this. Our revised math TEKS certainly aren't perfect. But the way that the elementary grades develop fractions is truly revolutionary. Until I studied the idea of a fraction as "a" parts of "1/b," I never really understood how the numerator (the number of parts) and denominator (the size, or denomination, of each part) related to each other. Throw in a math process or two and I solved a vexing problem without using any sort of standard algorithm. I was able to recognize a pattern and then scale it up mentally.
And speaking of process…the pie was, indeed, delicious.

My only worry is that the story will be too convoluted and try to go too many places at once. The trailer seems to convey that impression on me, but I'll certainly still see it.

Just came back from seeing Coraline. I missed watching the Monday screening which all my friends went to in Toronto, so here I am on Friday night [Saturday morning] to give my impressions. It's a hefty movie so I have a mouthful to say so I'll scale the font down for aesthetic sake.
Coraline is a charmingly constructed claymation which leans, thankfully, more towards the similarities of James and the Giant Peach than trying to be like The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The film uses Gaiman's theory as its driving point, being that it has to establish a full world before anything can happen in it. However, as Gaiman has demonstrated over and over again, watching the building of his worlds is half the fun, and in this case, half the movie. A good friend of mine saw the advanced screening and commented that the movie has "video game logic" and after seeing the film, I have to agree. While watching this movie, there are two games that come to mind: Persona 3 and The Legend of Zelda [ specifically Twilight Princess but Ocarina of Time works too].I'll explain how this works as it constructs the story, just so that I can get this out of the way before I go off on how magnificent the film is.
To draw the parallel first between Persona 3 and the first half of Coraline, one needs to be aware of the explicitly narrative matching of world A [The real world] with world B [the Other world]. Basically, what'll happen is a problem or moment of anxt will ensue in world A and the moment of anxt will be fixed and made better in world B. This is done in a very causal fashion where the viewer can essentially pick out in their mind what to expect in the response from world B, but it's a totally different thing to see it. It's very layered and very organized presentation, which on one hand means that not a second is wasted to develop the world, but on the other hand, means that both worlds end up feeling unrealistic instead of just world B. This part of the movie is well driven though, despite its formulaic nature, because of the sense of surprise and wonder that is delivered by showing different reflections of world A. Like in Persona, there is a distinctive process of 'Things that happen in World A' and 'Things that happen in World B', which have only a little to do with each other, and unfortunately, that feels a little disappointing and weird when you're watching it instead of playing it.
The problems arise in the second half of the film, after the whole world is explored [literally...] where Coraline steps up to the challenge and goes on a quest to find the three magical items in three magical 'levels', each with their own boss. These items have almost nothing to do with the story except for the fact that it shows the crumbling of the established world, done with Twilight Princess graphics of course: which look gorgeous, but you really get a sense of there being a 'Level complete!' message coming across the screen every time it happens. It was almost as though the director was running out of time and said 'screw the story, let's just get some boss fights!', and so instead of it feeling cool, it feels forced instead.
Aside from that, well...this film is amazing! If you can set aside the weird (not to be confused with awkward) pacing, the film has gorgeous animation, nice writing, outrageous and creepy character design, and a musical score that`s to die for, complete with a thirty second song by They Might Be Giants, which felt like it should`ve gone on for another two minutes into a whole musical number. I`m not one to usually want to buy film soundtracks, but that`s almost all I was thinking about with every song that played in the film, especially the jazzy cat song.
Something needs to be said about the characters in this review, so I`ll take the liberty of saying it. The movie opens up with an obese Russian acrobat doing palates on the roof, there is a pair of elderly women who do something that I never thought I'd see in a PG13 movie, a boy with the most insulting name ever given to anybody...worse than even Millhouse, and of course the signature Coraline cat, who acts almost similarly to another well known other-worldly feline...just more catlike, which is good.
Overall, it's a stunning package which doesn't really offer itself up as a single delicious main course, and rather as a distinctively twelve-course meal of hors d'œuvres, which you don't realize until your through just how full you are, and yet you remember every little thing that you ate. For a fun jaunt through the many layers of a darkly imagined world, may I highly recommend the Coraline.
P.S: Stay till the end of the credits for something that will blow your mind!
P.P.S: As you might've guessed, there's a trailer of '9' that plays before the film so don't skip out on the trailers. It was so good on the big screen that I started giving a 'rock on' to the screen while "Welcome Home" played. I even heard a bunch of delighted "woah!"s behind me while the trailer progressed.

Ugh. Just as a side-note, don't be surprised if the theater is full of preppy girls going to see "He's just not that into you." I was actually almost disappointed when they said that the showing of that chick flick was sold out instead of Coraline. I really hope the film doesn't bomb.

well, I certainly hope not! The theater was packed when I went to see it last night.
So, the monumental artistic talent on display here is pretty obvious so I won't bother gushing. The film is beyond beautiful, and it's freakin' incredible that it was all stop motion. I'm truly curious to see a "making of" featurette, if just to see which parts were enhanced digitally because it always turns out to surprise me, at least a couple times, which parts were actually hand-crafted effects. ( I was also very happy to see Vera and Graham in the storyboard credits at the end! Had no idea, great job you guys!).
The story really engaged me. Although I did chuckle when I made the same video game parallel that dark did in the second half of the movie, hehe. Ain't nothin wrong with that!
It really brought back to me the that great feeling of old school fantasy/fairy tale where things just ARE, you know? The fact that Coraline wasn't asking "Why?" or "What's going on!" constantly and just "rolled with the blows" of craziness in a very confident and inquisitive manner was a fine character trait that really appealed to me.
While the 3-D wasn't detrimental in any way (if anything it just made the eye candy more sweet) I thought that people that see the 2D version aren't going to miss out on the majesty. Although, certainly the bit after the credits was an awesome use of the technology. Is having both versions on one DVD too much to ask? Or was the 3D only for theaters?
At any rate, I enjoyed the film immensely, and I wish I didn't find it so difficult to scrape together the $12 to see it again (I mean, I loved the movie but that's pretty steep).
EDIT: Forgot to mention the music, it's insanely good. In fact I might use that second ticket price to buy the soundtrack instead.

Just got back from watching Coraline and I must say that it is a spectical to behold. I can see the effort put into this. Good thing I saw the making of it. I think it said that they did 2 seconds a day. Either way, it was amazing, wether it be 3D or not. Well, it's time to do some fanart!
Post by Tony » Sat Feb 07, 2009 11:32 pm
*Sigh* I did not like it. Please do not throw your shoes at me.
I have some thoughts as to why, but I'm not the best at articulating that sort of thing. I would say the film felt "flat" to me, and that it was missing some intangible elements that I don't know how to put my finger on. I am interested to hear some other opinions (esp. yours, Kazu, as your film opinions always encourage a good bit of thinking). Maybe that will help me figure out what I felt was lacking in the film.
Please avoid the 3D presentation. When it works, it looks like a magical stage play, but when it's not, it really bumps you. Maybe it's cause my head is fat, but the glasses are uncomfortable, which is also a bother. There are some great wow-ee moments with the 3D, but they're not worth the times when it breaks. My girlfriend says she had a similar experience, so I don't think it's just me, though we were sitting way in the back row - maybe that had something to do with it.

I really liked this, plus it was fun because I went straight from the screening of the movie to the thing at Gallery Nucleus with a bunch of the artists!
I agree about the 3D though - I wish 3D would go away. It never adds anything to the film for me, at best I forget about it, at worst it makes me very aware that I'm watching a movie rather than being immersed in it.
I love seeing kid's movies with a creepy edge. I think that we don't always give kids enough credit for being able to handle it, but it seemed like the whole crowd of kids was into it! And it was a crowd - the 11:45 am showing was packed!
Also, how good was that burlesque scene? Oh man! Haha, loved it.

I really liked it and agree with most of what the positive reviews above said.
The climax was a little long and didn't pay off for me but I was never bored by the movie. Most of the time I was just being amazed by the beauty of the storytelling, design, and animation. The 3D experience is only pushed in certain scenes and never took me out of the story.
Josh, I got to go to the "Coraline" panel today at Gallery Nucleus and the artists said that most everything you see, including the soon to be famous circus mice shot, was done practically. Each mouse was a separate puppet on its own rig. They only used the computer too take out the rigging and composite green screen shots, even the fog outside the house was animated by hand, it was cotton! Amazing.

are you serious!! see, that's what I'm talking about.
did they mention anything about the "fading to white" effect after each item was found? (I'm trying to be as vague as possible as to not spoil)?
Post by dark77778 » Sun Feb 08, 2009 4:59 pm
The mouse scene is why you should all have stayed till the end of the credits ^_^
Squirpy: The burlesque scene was one of the best things in the whole film. I was just staring at the screen and howling. It made me so happy that they were able to get that in there with all the random censorship that our society is subjected to these days.
Tony, the film itself is a little flat if you're not prepared for the sort of flow that the film is going to provide. There isn't a significant rising action or falling action, more of like a yo-yo effect. The story goes out there as far as it possibly can go along a linear string, then there's a moment of tension [given away in the trailer], and then the story ravels back into itself, and if you mind this sort of structure, then I can totally understand how the film can seem flat and I probably would've thought the same thing had I not been made aware of this fact and prepared myself for it.

Germany is divided in 16 states which are further subdivided into 439 districts and cities. Germany is one of the largest European economy and the third largest economy in the world in real terms, placed behind the United States and Japan, and fifth behind the United States, China, India and Japan counted by purchasing power parity.
Bergisch Gladbach is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, located east of Cologne. As per the 2004 census, its population was estimated at 110,033 inhabitants. Early settlements existed in the 13th century, but the town was officially founded in 1856.
The word Bergisch in its name originates from its location in the earldom of Berg and was added to distinguish it from Monchengladbach. In 1975, it was incorporated with the neighboring city of Bensberg and when it reached a population of 100,000 inhabitants in 1977, it received the rank of a city.
Bergisch Gladbach is the seat of administration of the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis. The town has been twinned with Luton in the United Kingdom, since 1956. Its principal industries include paper manufacturing, printing, glassware and textiles. It is said the place of best geographical environment and can trace its origins back to prehistoric times. It enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers.


Oddsocks's winter production this year set sail in Wolverhampton and while some first night 'issues' are to be expected and indeed take place, they in no way detract from the enjoyment of this superbly hilarious piece. But what does set it apart from other shows by this remarkable company is that adapter/director/genius Andy Barrow lets the adventure of the original story have room to breathe. Yes, all the hallmarks of Oddsocks comedy are there but there is also drama and tension. The show shifts gear and then shifts again, with jokes and 'business' woven into the action. Characterisations that begin as broad and cartoony become more rounded. It's very well handled indeed.
We begin at the Admiral Benbow inn where a rather earnest Jim (Gemma Aston) dreams of a more exciting life. He soon finds himself embroiled with pirates and a hunt for hidden treasure. Aston is the sober centre of the piece, the straight man to the lunacy that surrounds her – this is not to say she isn't also very funny. She is, in fact, a barrel of laughs.
Andy Barrow is a scream as Jim's mother, prone to fainting and hungry for male attention. This is the dame to Aston's principal boy, and while the show includes some overtly pantomime features, it soon sets a course for the more dramatic.
Andrew McGilligan impresses and delights with his physical skills and quick wit. His Squire Trelawney is a hoot. Joseph Maudsley is wonderful as Blind Pew and Doctor Livesey, while Dom Gee-Burch demonstrates his range of comic characters as Captain Smollett, Billy Bones, Ben Gunn and most other people. This trio have become Oddsocks regulars, Andy Barrow's own set of three stooges. They are very, very funny men.
The set is ingenious and Sarah Oxley's costumes are beautiful. Barrow directs some top drawer comic action, aided by Amed Hashimi's fight choreography. An early knife fight is absolutely superb. A later sword fight is organised chaos. The second act opens with a danse macabre to tickle your funny bones. There is a Stomp tribute and Cap'n Flint has to be seen to be believed.
In this chest, brimming with treasure, there are only a couple of dud coins. The ambient sound effects need to be turned down in some scenes. Ben Gunn is crying out for a comedy beard.
This is perhaps Oddsocks's most rounded production to date. I hope to board it again later in its nationwide tour.
It's the time of year to get out your Long Johns.

Lucasfilm Animation is currently putting the finishing touches on their new animated series, Star Wars: Rebels, and is gearing up for a release sometime later this year on the Disney Channel. The series is set at approximately 14 years after Revenge of the Sith and will document the Empire's tightening stranglehold on the galaxy and the hunt for the last Jedi remnants.
In anticipation of the show, six new posters using classic propaganda motifs have just been released which you can check out below. The posters heavily promote many of the classic Star Wars original trilogy characters and starship designs of the Empire including TIE Fighters, Star Destroyers, and Stormtroopers. One poster prominently displays the series villain, which is a new character for the Star Wars universe, the Imperial Inquisitor, who will be charged by Darth Vader to hunt down the remaining Jedi Knights.

Eliza Dushku On Voicing She-Hulk In 'Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.'
By Dr. Geek, Ph.D. | January 11th, 2014 at 11:00 am
Eliza Dushku has the reputation for taking on characters that don't let much get in their way. From playing Faith on Buffy The Vampire Slayer to being the voice of Catwoman in Batman: Year One, she seems to enjoy characters who are far from timid. She is continuing in that vein by giving a voice to She-Hulk in the new animated series Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. shown on Disney XD in the United States and premiering this week on the Canadian network Teletoon.

Disney In Depth: Tron: Uprising Review
By Brett Nachman | @ | June 22nd, 2012 at 4:00 pm
Tron: Uprising, an arrestingly-captivating new animated original series on the Disney XD channel, brings viewers back into the grid with the dynamic visuals, electrifying music and gripping storytelling that rekindled audiences with digital dazzle in Tron: Legacy.
Set between the original Tron and Tron: Legacy, Tron: Uprising focuses on mechanic-turned-renegade Beck (voiced by Elijah Wood), a deft programmer living in the stunning Argon City. Beck's free-thinking society is soon threatened by the menacing General Tesler (Lance Henriksen), one of the evil CLU's cohorts, who aims to take charge of the metropolis. Once his friend is "derezzed," or the Tron version of someone being killed, Beck avenges his death by disguising himself as believed-to-be-dead hero Tron and inspiring a revolution. In the intense prologue special, "Beck's Beginning," we see this as almost an origins story, provided with heavy exposition to better understand the characters and storyline.

'The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes' Coming To DVD
By Culturesmash | March 5th, 2011 at 12:25 pm
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes was a welcome surprise from Marvel Studios. It's an animated series that's crafted in such a way that fans of all ages can enjoy it. The series is on Disney XD which is a difficult sell to any fan above a certain demographic, but if you just hold your breath and flip over there the show will impress. Hardcore comic book fans will see the show is loosely based on Brian Michael Bendis's Avenger's Disassembled story arc, or at least the aftermath of that story. At any rate, the series features classic Avengers heroes on the team including Captain America, Thor, The Hulk, The Wasp, Ant Man/Giant Man, Hawkeye, and Black Panther.
If you aren't the type to set foot in Disney kidville, then you can still see the show because Disney has announced that the first 13 episodes are coming to DVD, conveniently broken up into two volumes. Episodes 1 – 7 will be in Volume 1 and Episodes 8 – 13 will be presented in Volume 2. Both sets will be available on DVD April 26, 2011. At this point the only bonus feature we know of is a look at the upcoming Season 2 on the second volume.

Get Your First Look at Sunday's Episode of 'The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes'
By Culturesmash | January 8th, 2011 at 12:20 pm
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is Marvel's latest animated endeavor and it's their best in many years. Marvel sent us some screen captures from this Sunday's episode, so check them out here below.
Try to block out the tragedy that was the Saturday morning Avengers cartoon from several years back. The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes does a great job of walking the line between kid-friendly action fest and older adult fan storytelling. There's a great serialized element to the show that is most often used to introduce a new hero or villain.

TV Review: Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
By Jack Bauerstein83 | November 16th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
Featuring the voices of Alex Desert, Phil Lamarr, Brian Bloom
Release Date: October 20th, 2010
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is Marvel's second crack at the premier superhero team in the animation world. The first series, Avengers: United They Stand, was an honest attempt to make the concept work but that failed quickly, mostly due to the lack of presence from the more popular Avengers. Now, with the Avengers movie just around the corner, Marvel is dead set to make a cartoon worthy of the proposed blockbuster film.
The premise of the series harks back to the original concept of the comic book series. When a threat of epic proportions rears its ugly head, only the Avengers can save the day. In the original comic book, the threat was Thor's evil brother Loki but in the cartoon, it is the breakout of various super-villains.
It seems an unknown individual has disassembled world police SHIELD's securities systems and caused their systems to crash. As a result, four super prisons went offline allowing all sorts of villains to escape. Now, it is up Earth's Mightiest Heroes to capture them all back.

Q: Running BackboneJs events in Typescript I'm writing a Backbone program in Typescript, in which I am not able to initialize any events. Here's a test class that I've created to fix the problem. The function start() is not being called when the div is clicked on.
class TestView extends Backbone.View{

    events = {
        "click #testDiv" : "start"
    }

    start(){
        console.log("Clicked");
    }

    constructor(options?){
        super(options);
    }

    render(){
        $root.html(getNewDiv("testDiv"));
        $("#testDiv").css("height", 100).css("width", 100).css("background-color", "green");
        console.log("Rendered");
        return this;
    }
}

function getNewDiv(id:string) {
    return "

"
}

new TestView().render();

Here's the console output:
Rendered

Here's the backbone typescript definition that I'm using:
https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/backbone/backbone.d.ts

Here's the CDN location for backboneJS
Minified : http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/backbone.js/1.1.0/backbone-min.js
Non-Minified : http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/backbone.js/1.1.0/backbone.js
I'm concerned if my syntax is right or this has something to do with the Typescript definition of Backbone.
UPDATE
The answer shown by Kevin Peel below is throwing an error, because in the Typescript definition file, "events" is defined as a function ( eg. events()). If I just create an "events" function, I get the error - "Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'off'". If I use the getter method (eg. get events(){}), then nothing really happens on actually firing the event.
Using delegate Events

I tried to use the delegateEvents() function in Backbone.View which creates an error:
constructor(options:any, question:Question, div:JQuery) {
        this.delegateEvents({
           "click" : "clicked"
        });
    }

Error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'off' backbone.js:1082
h.extend.undelegateEvents backbone.js:1082
h.extend.delegateEvents backbone.js:1059

A: The problem is with where TypeScript defines the events. When you define events like this:
class TestView extends Backbone.View {
    events = {
        "click #testDiv": "start"
    }
    // ...
}

What TypeScript does is attaches events as a property after initializing the instance. So when Backbone is initializing the view, events haven't yet been attached, so Backbone isn't able to bind them.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a nice way to get TypeScript to assign events to the prototype, so you need to hack around it in some way.
The absolute easiest way is by setting the events on the prototype yourself:
class TestView extends Backbone.View {
    // Get rid of the events declaration in here
    // ...
}

TestView.prototype.events = {
    "click #testDiv": "start"
}

A second possible way to get around the issue is using the getter functionality of TypeScript as suggested in this StackOverflow answer.
Finally, a third way would be to bind your events each time you render. This is another easy way to get around the TypeScript problem, but it might not be the best solution if the view gets rendered many times.
class TestView extends Backbone.View{
    events = {
        "click #testDiv" : "start"
    }

    // ...

    render(){
        $root.html(getNewDiv("testDiv"));
        // Here is where you'll bind the events using Backbone's delegateEvents
        this.delegateEvents();
        $("#testDiv").css("height", 100).css("width", 100).css("background-color", "green");
        console.log("Rendered");
        return this;
    }
}

// ...

new TestView().render();

A: I know is an old question but there is now another possibility, using es7 decorators, similar to what angular2 does:
 @component({
   events: {
     "click #testDiv" : "start"
   }
 })
 class TestView extends Backbone.View{
   start(){
     console.log("Clicked");
   }
   render(){
     // ...
   }
 }

Decorator file
export function component(definition: any) {
  return function (constructor: any) {
    Object.assign(constructor.prototype, definition)
  }
}

This way, all properties defined in the component decorator will be attached to the class prototype and will be available at instantiation time.

Another option besides using a class/constructor decorator could be to use a method decorator on the preinitialize method if you wish to have all the code inside the class braces like this:
 class TestView extends Backbone.View {
   @component({
     events: {
       "click #testDiv" : "start"
     }
   })
   preinitialize(){}

   start(){
     console.log("Clicked");
   }
   render(){
     // ...
   }
 }

Decorator file
export function component(definition: any) {
  return function (target: Object, methodName: string, descriptor: TypedPropertyDescriptor<Function>) {
    Object.assign(target, definition)
  }
}

Nokia Posts $1.2B Loss
Struggling cellphone maker said tougher-than-expected competition pushed it to a net loss of $1.2 billion in the first quarter as sales plummeted.
Matti Huuhtanen, Associated Press
HELSINKI (AP) — Struggling cellphone maker Nokia has suffered one of its worst quarterly results ever, blaming tough competition for a huge €929 million ($1.2 billion) net loss as sales plunged, especially in the smartphone market.
The first-quarter loss compared with a net profit of €344 million in the same period last year and came as revenues slid 30 percent to €7.4 billion, Nokia Corp. said Thursday.
Its share price tumbled more than 3.5 percent to close at €3.63 ($4.75) on the Helsinki Stock Exchange, even though investors had been prepared for poor results.
The Finnish company is fighting stiff competition from the likes of Apple Inc.'s iPhone and cellphone makers using Google Inc.'s popular Android software — such as Samsung Electronics Inc. and HTC of Taiwan.
It said net sales of devices crashed 40 percent to €4.2 billion, with smartphone sales down by more than half at €1.7 billion, as it failed to assert a challenge in the smartphone race with new Windows-based handsets a year after teaming up with Microsoft Corp.
It also issued a grim outlook for the second quarter, saying earnings would be "similar to, or below" those of the first quarter and that it will speed up its goal to cut costs by €1 billion by 2013.
CEO Stephen Elop described the quarter as "disappointing," conceding that Nokia had faced "greater than expected competitive challenges."
He said the company will get rid of noncore assets and focus on "making any necessary changes to our organization, structure or team," but gave no details.
"We are navigating through a significant company transition in an industry environment that continues to evolve and shift quickly," Elop said.
The head of Nokia's global sales, Colin Giles, will leave after two years in the job, Nokia said, as it restructures the sales unit, "reducing a layer of sales management."
Sales in China — the company's second-largest market — plunged 70 percent in the quarter to €577 million, with a 35-percent drop in Europe, its largest market, to €1.35 billion.
Nokia has been the leading handset maker since 1998, but after reaching a global goal of 40 percent market share in 2008 its share has shrunk to below 29 percent last year, when it sold some 419 million devices. It is expected to soon lose its status as the biggest maker of handsets.
"This was definitely one of Nokia's worst quarters ever," said Neil Mawston from Strategy Analytics. "Nokia's problem in developed markets is spreading to developing markets and that is causing a lot of their challenges. I think we'll see Samsung overtaking Nokia as the biggest volume maker of handsets."
Mawston reckons Nokia's global market share fell to some 22 percent in the first quarter, with smartphone share plunging to a record-low of 8 percent.
The former bellwether of the industry has lost its dominant position against the likes of Apple and Google in the growing smartphone segment. It has also been squeezed in the low-end by Asian manufacturers making cheaper phones, such as China's ZTE.
Nokia hopes to remedy its slide with the new Windows Phone 7, launched in October, eight months after Elop announced a partnership with Microsoft. Nokia says the Windows operating system will be the main platform in its new phones, phasing out the MeeGo and Symbian platforms, considered clumsy by many operators.
Nokia has since launched several versions of Windows-based Lumia phones. Its cheapest — the Lumia 610 — was unveiled Thursday for Asian markets with an expected price tag of some €190 ($249).
Still, sales of smartphones dropped to 12 million in the first quarter, from 24 million a year earlier, while volume sales of cellphones fell to 83 million from 108 million in 2011.
The average selling price of Nokia devices also fell, to €51 from €65 a year earlier.
"That was one of the biggest surprises — a 22 percent drop year-on-year," Mawston said. "Nokia is not only battling increased competition, they're also battling sharply falling prices."
Elop said Nokia had sold more than 2 million Windows-based Lumia phones in the first quarter and that it had a "clear sense of urgency to move our strategy forward even faster."
In 2011, Nokia announced more than 10,000 layoffs to lower expenses and has not ruled out more cutbacks.
The company has said it would not provide annual targets for 2012 since it was in a "year of transition."
Its ailing network operations — Nokia Siemens Networks, a joint venture between Nokia and Germany's Siemens AG — showed a 7-percent drop in sales to €2.9 billion. Nokia said its operating margins would "clearly improve in the second quarter 2012 compared to the first quarter 2012 level of negative 5 percent."
Nokia stock has fallen by half since Elop announced the deal with Microsoft, and it dropped to a 15-year low of €2.98 earlier this week after Moody's ratings agency downgraded its debt grade to near junk status.

MAI employees took part in small-sized rocket drive unit creation
Experts of the department 702 "Aerospace Technology Drive Systems" of Moscow Aviation Institute, together with JSC Tactical Missiles Corporation and PJSC ANPP Temp-Avia (Arzamas) carried out comprehensive work related to the design of the control system for new small-sized missile. This project was awarded second place at the 12th Russian Intersectoral Youth Competition of scientific and technical papers and projects "Youth and the Future of Aviation and Cosmonautics" in "Robotics, Intelligent Systems and Aircraft Weapon".
The work was carried out in several stages. At the first stage the corporation set the task of developing new competencies as far as the creation of electric steering drives at its Temp-Avia enterprise is concerned. The Arzamas enterprise employees received the set of design documentation for the block of electric steering drives with wave transmissions and digital control developed by the MAI department 702. As a result, Temp-Avia experts briefly created their own block of steering drives, which is distinguished by original constructive solutions that ensured the achievement of minimum possible weight and dimensions.
At the same time, MAI experts were developing specialized test stand for testing the drive unit, including in the semi-natural simulation mode, which allows check all systems of the product even before the first test launches are carried out.
"The requirements for the technical perfection of new aircraft weapons can often be met only via the implementation of new technologies, though not through the modification of the existing products" — says Artem Alekseenkov, the associate professor of the 702 department, who led the project at the MAI side. — Obviously, this increases the technical risks and the timing of development. In order to meet the terms and cost parameters, along with the design of the new units, special purpose test equipment should be created simultaneously, the one that will allow debugging the entire control system and also take into account the peculiarities of its subsystems. We interacted with JSC Tactical Missiles Corporation very closely, while within the course of the work there was a clear separation of the working processes: the corporation made a complex of semi-natural modeling, and MAI — its separate subsystem, the stand of hinged moments, working as part of this complex".
Separate elements of the hinge moments stand were effectively used even before they were added to the semi-natural modeling complex: for prototypes and prototypes of drives developed in cooperation with Temp-Avia testing.
Now the work on the drive unit is at its final stage: the design and technological assembly is currently being prepared. The work also continues on the stand, it will later be used for other products testing too.

Turn on your television and within the first fifteen minutes you will probably see someone trying to sell you toxic hair dye to cover up your greys. Sure, it makes sense – many people want to maintain the hair color from their youth. Lucky for you, we have come across a natural recipe that is believed to turn white hair dark again, from the roots. Keep reading to see how it works!
So, What Causes Gray Hair?
Let's take a step back for a moment and ask the reverse question: What gives your hair its color in the first place? Like the color of your skin, hair receives its colors from a pigment you are likely familiar with – melanin.
If it weren't for the two types of melanin that combine before birth, we would not have broad spectrum of beautiful hair color we do today.
Melanocytes are a type of cell located on the skin's surface that create both eumelanin and pheomelanin. As hair grows out of its follicles, melanocytes actually inject melanin into cells that contain keratin, which is the protein that makes up hair.
As we get older, it's generally understood that melanin production lessens which leads to our hair turning white and eventually gray. Scientists, however, do not exactly know what causes gray hair. But below, we've found various studies studies that offer a different reasons why.
In some families, members start graying as early as their late teenage years. But typically, Caucasian people really start going gray once they've hit 30-years-old, while African-Americans don't start until their mid-40s. By the age of fifty, half of all people are walking around with heads at least half full of gray hair.
In a 2005 study published in the journal Science, Harvard scientists suggested that the graying of hair might be caused by a failure of melanocyte stem cells to keep producing melanocytes.
Another study published in 2009 proposed that, since hair follicles produce small amounts of hydrogen peroxide, this chemical build-up could lead to hair color loss over time.
Whereas living skin is constantly renewing itself, hair is technically dead so it's up to you to help preserve it. With such promising effects for preserving hair color, the natural formula we're sharing today also uses antioxidant-rich ingredients. They can get to the 'root' of the problem and help protect hair from the intrinsic (e.g., genes, hormones, body distribution, age) and extrinsic (e.g., climate, pollutants, toxins, chemical exposure) forces it faces every day.
The vitamin-rich aloe plant also cleans oily hair very effectively by removing residue from hair products and extra sebum (oil). What's more is that even while it deep-cleans each follicle, it does not damage the individual strands of hair. So, your hair will not only be healthy but look shiny and feel soft, too.
Experimental evidence continues to support researchers' hypotheses that oxidative stress can spur on the ageing process. As we mentioned above, this vitamin does a lot to help protect your body from free radicals that can damage organs, tissues, and cells – the same cells needed to keep your hair from graying prematurely.
While the human body has its own defence mechanisms including non-enzymatic antioxidative molecules such as vitamin E, it doesn't hurt to supplement it to help keep cells and cell production healthy (from your head to your toes).
Combined with deep-cleaning and hair-strengthening aloe vera gel, vitamin E can be the very thing you need to help protect melanocytes from oxidative stress and restore your damaged roots.
Now that you know what causes gray hair and what can prevent it, here's the 2-ingredient serum!
Remember, applying this aloe vera and vitamin E serum just once has its benefits, but won't do anything for gray hair. You can apply it to your hair up to twice a day, but it will have to be a daily ritual if you want to start restoring your gray hair. Let us know how it works for you!

Susan G. Komen Michigan was formed on January 14th of 2015 through the collaboration of three, independent Komen affiliates: Komen Southwest Michigan, Komen Mid-Michigan and Komen West Michigan. This collaboration began when the West Michigan affiliate and Southwest affiliate shared personnel to manage administration of both offices. After working together for months, the staff and boards of directors realized that an even greater impact could be felt by widening the partnership to include the Mid-Michigan affiliate. The three organizations then determined that by joining forces while keeping local offices, outreach and races, greater savings and efficiency could be recognized, maximizing the impact on the fight against breast cancer.
Komen Michigan is an independent, local non-profit organization that is dedicated to combating breast cancer, saving lives and reducing breast cancer mortality in Michigan. There are barriers that prevent women from getting screened and receiving treatment including financial, cultural and language barriers, transportation issues and a lack of knowledge. With the help of our patient-centered network of nonprofits and community support, we are overcoming these barriers through innovative education programs, screenings, diagnostics, transportation, survivor programs and cutting-edge research.
Komen Michigan's mission is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality of care for all, and energizing science to find the cures.

MB Crusher: accounts of crushing from the heart of Baviera - MB S.p.A.
We are in Mömlingen, a small town in the heart of Bavaria, where recently-finished work has brought new splendour to one of the German town's main squares, in front of the Church of St. Martin.
A location rich in charm and historical importance, and the subject of a global restoration project for the square in front of the church: a challenging project, which saw the use of the legendary crusher bucket by MB Crusher, the BF90.3.
Fitted on a Doosan DX235 excavator, the BF90.3 crusher bucket was used for the on-site crushing of cobblestones and blocks of limestone from the preceding excavation of the square. Recycled directly on site, these crushed aggregates were then used on the same work site to fill the sub-floor for the creation of the new square.
There were two evident advantages for the company using the crusher bucket by MB Crusher: the elimination of costs for dump disposal and for the purchasing of new aggregate materials for filling, and the consequential complete recycling of excavation materials.
The use of the crusher bucket also allowed the construction company to completely recover the materials present on-site, with an evident reduction in emissions and consumption and a general reduction in noise pollution (a fundamental aspect nowadays for the management of urban work sites). There is of course also the simplicity of handling - the crusher bucket was transported installed directly on the excavator - an important aspect for any company operating in the sector that has to take on operations in urban work sites.
An experience that was characterised by respect for the environment and the possibility of moving in limited spaces: two important and delicate themes that are often related to work in residential areas.
This was the first crusher bucket in the world ever to be created and patented. Designed to resist the most challenging conditions of any work site, it is suitable for excavators from 21 tons upwards. This year it was further optimised in order to allow an increase in productivity, new options for the regulation of the dimension of materials in output, increased resistance and a reduction in maintenance times.


There is no single cutoff point used by financial institutions and also mortgage firms. It differs from one to the following. With that being stated, the majority of lenders today prefer to see a score of 600 or higher from customers looking for a mortgage. However thats simply a basic fad its not written in rock.
Rules not to follow about sale your house fast Fairburn.
You could safeguard on your own against rate of interest modifications with a price lock, since the price could transform between the moment you talk with the lender and when you authorize the mortgage.
