What does a home mean? For the homeless, it means peace, safety and recovery
Heather Scoffield
TORONTO — For Khusrow Mahvan, who lived on the cold concrete of Toronto streets for over a decade, having a home means peace, tranquility and tasty food.
For Elizabeth Bennett, having a home means the security of knowing she can trust the lock on the front door.
For Dawnmarie Harriott, housing gave her enough stability to find her way back into the work force.
For Mona Lisa Pilon, a home of her own means protection from abuse and the time to confront mental illness.
"It gives us self-esteem. It gives us hope," Pilon says.
All four spent years without a home, living on the street, couch surfing or in and out of shelters, relying on emergency health care services, hand-outs and luck to get by.
Mahvan and Bennett have been given rent-subsidized homes through a giant federal research experiment into how to best help the homeless. Once housed, they receive an array of social services and support to urge them towards more independence. They decide for themselves where they will live, and what services they will need.
Pilon and Harriott, who have been housed for several years now, are on a "caucus" advisory board that brings first-hand experience to the wide collection of researchers and technicians involved in the At Home/Chez Soi program.
Having a home means having an address. That allows clients to apply for identification and receive benefits.
It means they're not in jail and not in the emergency room. And it means they have a stable place to manage their mental illness — a place where case workers can depend on finding them and make sure they're on the
right track.
Traditional help for the homeless aims to resolve their underlying issues first. Only after the mental illness, addictions or other problems are resolved does the social support system guide homeless people towards permanent shelter. And usually, that comes with stringent conditions attached.
With the At Home program, tradition is flipped on its head.
It took Mahvan months and months to agree to join the project. He was a mess in the shelter — agitated, fearful of the constant conflict around him, confused in the chaos. But he figured one of his counsellors had it in hand, and at first turned down offers of a home of his own.
When it dawned on him that he was in physical danger and his situation was not improving after spending most of the last 14 years homeless, he took At Home facilitators up on their offer of a subsidized apartment.
A couple of months later, he is proud to show off his shiny parquet flooring, the view of Lake Ontario out his window, and his collection of spices. He can cook as he pleases. No more gagging on shelter food he didn't like but had to eat to stay healthy.
There are a few books, a coffee table, a television and some oranges in a bowl. He speaks quietly but at length about politics, his home country of Iran, his family, his diamond business that went bankrupt, and his dreams for the future.
Interviews done with the 1,000 people housed through the program over the past couple of years show that a home means stability, an improvement in the quality of life and better diets, says Jaipreet Kohli, a program manager for At Home in Toronto.
With access to a safe place, homeless people no longer have to dwell on mere survival. They reflect on other issues — a reflection that helps them organize their lives.
Most cities don't handle their homeless in this way, says Stephen Hwang, physician-researcher at the Centre for Research on Inner-City Health at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
Toronto has been heading the housing-first direction for some time, and in Alberta, most cities have adopted the approach successfully. But in other parts of the country have barely even considered it.
"The fact that we don't do it means society has not accepted that it is common sense," Hwang says.

Gavin Plews as the incoming President of The Rotary of Great Missenden and District, accepted his badge of office from the outgoing President George Rivas and briefly told the Club of his aims and aspirations for his coming year of office. As challenged by the Global Rotary International President Ravi Ravindran, Gavin is very keen to strengthen Rotary within the district by increasing membership of the Club and creating a Satellite Club within the area and has started work to establish interest and support within the Prestwood community.
In his inaugural speech the incoming President of the Rotary Club of Great Missenden and surrounding areas reminded us that Rotary is the biggest Charity in the world and this means we can and do achieve great things worldwide and also locally.
Great Missenden Rotary Club may not be obvious to local people but all the daffodils each spring on all the approach roads to the village were plantede courtesy of Rotary in Great Missenden. Then there is the Christmas Float and the annual Rotary Shoe Box appeal.We give logistical help with the Annual 10k Race in Prestwood, raising funds for the Chiltern MS Centre and frequently donate to other worthy causes.
You will be aware that I have been the Fundraising Chairman for approximately two years.This will still be my main focus and where I will be directing my time and energy whist being the Club's President for the next year. Whilst I am president I am hoping that we can look to support more small local charities and less fortunate local families/people and am also hoping that we may be able to recruit more local people to our Club. I think for a small club we do extremely well with our fund raising activities and in helping out with manpower at other local events. None of us are getting any younger and new blood is urgently required. Therefore in my presidential year I ask all members to help in any way possible to increase our membership."
Click here for his full inaugural address.
Although daunted by the responsibility of becoming President, Peter Westby looks forward to leading a Club with dedicated membershipand unmistakeable respect and loyalty for the Rotary Organisation and its objectives and hopes to capitalise on the trust and dedication that the international organisation represents.
During his year as the President, Terry Cann is keen to support and maintain the established character and culture of the Club. He highlighted the need to balance our social and service aspirations with our available manpower. We can expect to have a very active and involving programme.
Recruitment of new members and establishment of a succession plan to meet our Club's needs for the next five years will be one of his priorities.
Service and fellowship typifies our activities with a very wide range of interests.
John Skrimshire is the President of Great Missenden Rotary Club. He has lived in Great Missenden since 1966 and is a Consultant with a City Law Firm. He is a Governor of the Great Missenden Church of England School, Secretary of Abbeyfield Great Missenden and trustee of a number of charities.
# The Pepper Foundation - a charity that raises money for nursing of terminally ill children at home.
We are a small club, priding ourselves on our friendly atmosphere, ensuring that we enjoy ourselves while doing what we can to help others.
We have an impressive record of providing assistance, locally, nationally and internationally - not only by fund raising, but also by providing our time for ventures such as carrying out practice interviews to assist those about to leave school to find jobs.
In the last year, we have been heavily involved in raising funds for new play park facilities in Prestwood, and in the coming year we aim to do even more for the local community, without neglecting more far-reaching causes.
As just one example, last year we sent over 2200 shoeboxes of Christmas gifts to Romania, and trust that we will at least match this again.
At the same time, we make certain that we have a rich and enjoyable social life. We welcome new members, both men and women, so please contact us if you feel you can help.
If you are new to Rotary, you will see how we can help you or you can help us in a range of activities - at local, national and international level. We aim to combine fellowship and fun with service to community.
We have a strong-team in place to 'Lead the Way'. In the current Rotary year, there will be fresh efforts to get new members. Enjoy the fun and fellowship. We shouldn't take on too much. Projects for consideration include Rotary's national projects - Cancer related Charities and Wheel Chairs that cost just £50 each delivered.
Our club will be forward-looking. We have a strong-team in place. Being small, we will work more closely with the neighbouring Clubs in Amersham and Chesham. This year marks our club's 21st birthday. We will do fewer projects but well. Projects for consideration include Rotary's national projects - 'Hearing dogs for the deaf', 'Prostate Cancer Charity' and Mercy Ships (a mobile hospital helping countries around the world).
Club members can focus on the theme for this year, the Centenary year, "Celebrate Rotary".
Look for inspiration from the theme of RI President Jonathan Majiyagbe, which is 'Lend a Hand', motivated by his experience of poverty in his African homeland. Keep this theme in mind when you are asked to help fill an Emergency Box, or to sell the idea of Shoeboxes to your neighbours.
'Lend a Hand' in our club by strengthening and diversifying its membership. We need to encourage friends and acquaintances to come here as visitors to see how we operate - personal introductions are the best way forward. However, potential members will be discouraged from joining if they perceive that we have old-fashioned attitudes or this is a male-oriented club. Anyone, man or woman, who espouses our values and is willing to get involved in our activities should be enthusiastically encouraged to join us.
We already 'Lend a Hand' in our community with our extensive community, vocational and youth activities. In keeping with my goal of spending more of our charity income on UK and local causes, I would welcome any new initiative which helps to fulfil this particular goal of the RI President.
We will aim to achieve the Presidential Citation this year by fulfilling specific achievements in the 'Family of Rotary' plus the 'Four Avenues of Service'.
Philosophy for this year is to build on the achievements of previous years by judicious tweaks, rather than wholesale major changes. For example, instead of having a Speaker Finder, each member will be responsible for organising one Monday meeting, with Alan Jones acting as coordinator.
Special fund-raising activities will include the 'That's Entertainment' dinner in October in aid of my chosen charity The Alzheimer's Society, and an Antiques Roadshow in the spring. You are urged to support both of these functions, and others which are regular favourites, by bringing friends, relations and colleagues.
The cooperation between the Amersham and Chesham clubs will be enhanced: one new joint activity will be to hold three separate scatter evenings, when each club in turn will visit the other two clubs.
I look forward to my year as your president and know that with your support we will achieve a great deal and have a lot of fun doing it. .


The Great Lakes are heating up, along with my desire for clean energy to end our over-dependence on dirty fuels. This summer, I was shocked to feel the impacts of climate change so close to home while swimming in Lake Michigan's waters, which had reached over 80 degrees, and could not believe it when the normally frigid Lake Superior became warm enough for me to swim in.
This November 6, Michigan voters like me face an easy choice. Do we keep spending billions to import coal from other states and oil from the Middle East that are fueling climate change? Or do we move Michigan to a clean, renewable energy. I think the answer is clear. When we have the clear capability to produce nearly carbon free energy here, in state, I undoubtedly chose the policy that will support Michigan workers and give preference to Michigan manufacturers.
As a Michigan voter, this November 6th I will get to vote YES on proposal 3, "A Proposal to Amend the State Constitution to Establish a Standard for Renewable Energy" Proposal 3 will increase Michigan's renewable energy standard to 25% by 2025 though investing in clean sources such as wind, solar, and biomass.
This summer's heat are only making invasive species problems worse for the Great Lakes–pledge to vote YES on Michigan's proposal 3.
If you live in Michigan, make sure you don't miss out on this important vote for renewable energy–your vote counts in protecting the future of the Great Lakes from climate change . Prepare to vote by having a look at a sample ballot.
And if you are over 60 or expect to be away from your Michigan polling place on Tuesday, November 6th, you may be eligible for an absentee ballot. Be sure to apply for your absentee ballot this week, before the Tuesday, October 9th deadline!


Can the air inside your home pose a threat to your family's health? According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the answer is yes. EPA studies have shown that levels of pollutants are often two to five times higher indoor than they are outdoors. In some instances, indoor air can be more than 100 times more polluted than the air outside. While indoor air pollution is most dangerous for people who suffer from allergies, asthma and respiratory conditions, bad air can negatively affect the health of otherwise healthy populations, too. These warnings signs can help you determine if the air inside your home is harming your health.
Spring is the ideal time for preventative maintenance for your air conditioning system. A springtime tune up ensures that the system is in good repair and ready to go when the weather gets hot and humid. A seasonal tune up service helps to improve the indoor environment and the air conditioning system's performance.


West of Scotland-based Ayrshire Precision Engineering Ltd (www.ayrshire-precision.co.uk), which makes components for the oil and gas industry, plans to double in size after receiving a six-figure funding package from the Royal Bank of Scotland.
This follows the buy-out of the company by Chris Hepburn, its managing director of four years, who said: "The company turns 50 in 2019, and while we want to celebrate our heritage, we're also looking to the future.
"We are investing in our equipment, updating our processes, and training our apprentices in the skills needed to successfully diversify the business into new markets.
Established in 1969, the business has a turnover of about £2 million. It has invested more than £1 million in equipment over the last four years and will continue to invest as it grows.
It currently has 23 members of staff, 10 of whom originally joined as apprentices, and it intends to take on more apprentices in the coming years. Funding was provided by the Royal Bank of Scotland and Lombard Asset Finance.
Andrew Macleod, senior relationship manager at the Royal Bank of Scotland, said: "Although the oil and gas industry is in a period of relative stability, Chris and his team are taking the opportunity to expand into other sectors to grow and secure the future of the business.

Top 10 facts about the world
You won't believe these 10 facts about people
Adult vaccinations are very important, both to keep up with childhood vaccinations to ensure that they remain effective, and to vaccinate for diseases which some adults may not have been vaccinated against. The recommendations for adult vaccinations vary, depending on the immunization records of the adult, and where he or she lives; as a general rule, it is a good idea to consult a doctor about adult immunizations. Furthermore, some vaccines are contraindicated for certain medical conditions, so always disclose your medical history when receiving vaccines.
For several diseases, adult vaccinations are recommended for those who have not yet been vaccinated. These diseases include the human papilloma virus (HPV), along with meningoccocal disease, and hepatitis A and B. All of these conditions are fully preventable through vaccinations. For some adults, the tuberculosis vaccine is also recommended, and for those who have not yet had chicken pox, the varicella vaccine should be administered, as adult chicken pox is very unpleasant.
For certain diseases, routine re-vaccination is necessary to keep the level of antibodies up. Measles, mumps, and rubella are offered as a combination vaccine in childhood, and this vaccine should be administered again one to two times between the ages of 19 and 50, and again in the elderly. It is also important to keep up with the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) vaccine, which should be given every 10 years.
In all adults, an annual influenza vaccine is advised, especially for the elderly, and the elderly should also be vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia. By keeping up with these basic adult vaccinations, people will ensure that they do not fall sick or die from diseases that could have been prevented, and they will also help to contribute to an overall decline in instances of these diseases, through a process known as herd immunity. Being vaccinated as an adult, in other words, doesn't just help you, it also helps your community as a whole.
In addition to these basic adult vaccinations, travel shots are recommended for adults who travel. Some countries actually require specific vaccinations, while others publish lists of recommended vaccines which visitors are strongly encouraged to receive. If you are planning a trip, especially to the developing world, you should consult your doctor to find out about recommended travel shots.

Providing on-site construction consultation and observation for the duration of the improvement project.
Trans Associates was tasked by Upper St. Clair to take the lead on the HOP and overall design process for this project. TA was involved in virtually all aspects of the roadway improvement activities including extensive coordination with PennDOT and the Township, roadway design, drainage design, environmental permitting, property and release coordination, and on-site construction consultation and observation. Furthermore, during the on-site construction consultation and observation, TA coordinated the relay and relocation of an existing water line that required relocation due to poor roadway subgrade conditions. In order to accommodate the mitigation needed for the poor subgrade conditions, the water line needed to be excavated, isolation valves installed, and the line relayed into a deeper trench. TA was on-site to coordinate these activities with PAWC, the water line contractor, and the highway contractor to facilitate a quick resolution for the utility issue during construction.


Porter's analysis works on tabulating the five forces and analyzing the impact on M&S.
Retailing market has high entry barrier as the capital investments are huge to enter the market and to achieve cost efficiencies and economies of scale that retailers like M&S has would be very difficult to achieve for a new player. The case of peers is different, however M&S popularity and focus on quality ware would make competition fight hard for breaking M&S loyal customers. Also matching the channel efficiency by M&S would be difficult for new entrants. Keeping peers at bay would be difficult as although M&S has quality products advantage, competitors are offering discounts and price offering that woo away many of the potential customers.
M&S requires continuous innovation to keep brand position strong and to remain distinctive to meet the demands of its customer base. The clothing business is beset with substitutes – it is very easy to copy designs and get similar design at much reduced cost elsewhere. The food business is already under attack by the big stores – Tesco, Sainsbury and ASDA which have a similar range of products. M&S private label product line still offers some distinction. Going forward M&S focus on its food line is expected to offer clear advantage over the competitors (ivory research, 2016).
Customer's bargaining power is significant. Customer's price sensitivity can force the hand of the retailer. Customer has very low switching costs and has many alternatives available. M&S needs to build up its loyalty and offer its customers unmatched value and conveniences that are difficult to match. M&S is also vulnerable to negative shifts in customer perception in UK. Any move towards disloyalty towards British products is likely to have significant effects on overall company outlook. M&S competitors are also focusing on customer relationships so M&S needs to be vigilant and protect its turf. According to Euromonitor M&S had 40% value share in departmental stores. High share in this segment makes M&S vulnerable as well as in 2016 stock surplus in apparel and footwear because of unseasonable conditions led to value decline.
In late twentieth century M&S suppliers were primarily British, but competitive pressures forced M&S to outsource and reduce its costs weakening the power of suppliers. Focus on private label also gives M&S power over external suppliers. Further switching costs for M&S suppliers, especially since M&S depends on outsourced suppliers, are quite low.
Competition is strong for the retail sector from other supermarket chains for its home wear, clothing and fashion products as well as for food products. The competition is further growing in online segment where users are choosing click and collect to have a pseudo in-store shopping experience at reduced costs than in-store shopping. M&S has been able to build up its online sales with percentage of online in total retail sales growing steadily YoY. Loyalty membership cards can help stem this trend but the same strategy can also be followed by other supermarket chains. As per Euromonitor M&S is currently benefitting from highly personalized Sparks loyalty program. The focus has shifted to older female customers and everyday low pricing than discounting. The low cost strategy has resulted in decline in sales of clothing business. Also M&S has announced plans to open new "simply food" outlets, which have upmarket positioning.


Despite of the extraordinary salary packages offered in India and abroad by various MNCs and other private sectors getting hot place in the news papers & media, the Indian Administrative services remain one of the most desirable or dream career in India! Obviously the true power to affect and improve the life of millions of people and opportunity to bring about the real change in the society are the major attractions of the career in civil services! The social status and king size government perks make the civil services as one of the most sought after career.
Indian Civil Accounts Service (ICAS), etc.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is remembered as the "Patron Saint" of India's civil servants for establishing modern all-India services. In an unprecedented and unrepeated gesture, on the day after his death more than 1,500 officers of India's civil and police services congregated to mourn at Patel's residence in Delhi and pledged "complete loyalty and unremitting zeal" in India's service.
The Civil Services Examination of India is considered to be amongst of the most difficult competitive examinations in the world. On an average, four to five lacs candidates apply every year and the number of candidates appearing is 2.5-3 (approximately) lacs for the examination. Just think the final success rate is about 0.3-0.4 % of the total applicants!
Recruitment to the Civil Service is made by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) through the All India level exams process.The Process starts in the month of May with the first screening or qualifying exam called CSE (Pre.) followed by CSE (mains) Exam in October -November and Interview in next year April- May then it ends in May with the declaration of final Result. So it takes about a year to complete the process!
Phase-I: This phase is called CSE preliminary examination. After removal of optional subject and introduction of a paper testing candidate's civil services aptitude, this exam is now commonly called CSAT. This is a qualifying test in nature and consists of two fully objective type papers.
Phase-III: The personality test/interview: It carries 275 marks. The marks scored in the phase II exams are added to that of scored in the interview and then a combine merit is prepared and then the final result is declared.
It is interesting to note that the final results are usually announced two to five days before the next preliminary examination!

I love authentic desi food and miss it dearly in Qatar. Now you would say there are so many Indian/Pakistani restaurants, but most of them are altered in taste (spice-o-meter) to fit in with the masses – result: desiness lost!
Nonetheless, there are a few that remain my favourite but not as authentic. The only place so far that has come close to being original is Zaoq located at Salwa Road which is bubbling with people and never disappoints with their food. The restaurant sign says it's Pakistani but has a lot of Indian/mughlai touches. I would say it's a mix between the two countries.

The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2001/09/06/entertainment-news-20/)
By ryan | September 6, 2001
Whoa, Episode 2
The Matrix 2 has begun filming in Sydney, Australia, and insiders are already starting to leak rumors. One Australian newspaper has stated that "cloning is the key theme of the movie: Neo (Keanu Reeves) is set to fight 100 versions of himself in a stunning action sequence." Apparently the producers are going for acting quantity, not quality. Computer geeks around the globe, meanwhile, are demanding that Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) be cloned instead and the movie be renamed to Battling Computer Babes in Black Leather.
System Malfunction
System of a Down's free concert in Hollywood on Monday night turned ugly when the event was cancelled due to safety concerns about overcrowding. In an effort to prove the authorities wrong, fans trashed the stage and threw rocks and bottles at the police. Surprisingly, this little bit of reverse logic didn't work and the police retaliated with tear gas and rubber bullets. I know metal fans are notorious for being antisocial and belligerent, but picking a fight with L.A. cops? I don't care how big your death wish is, that's just stupid.
Is This Really Necessary?
The members of the American Film Institute have emerged from their dank crypts to create their own televised award show. The AFI has struck a deal with CBS for a live, three-hour "AFI Awards 2001" telecast. The event is set to air Jan. 5 in the context of a year-in-review special. A spokesperson for the AFI stated the institute intends to be a trendsetter for the awards show season with the early timing and nature of the show. Somehow, I don't think the AFI has any right using the term "trendsetter" until they update their Top 100 Funniest Films list to include more than 3 films made in the last decade. And do we really trust the judgment of a group who thinks the world needs another three-hour awards show?
On That Note …
The top-grossing movie of the Labor Day weekend was the critically panned horror flick Jeepers Creepers, once again proving that the opinion of film critics has no bearing on the American public. So, who's going to tune in to CBS on Jan. 5?
Anne Heche married cameraman Coley Laffoon last Saturday. Once one-half of Hollywood's highest-profile lesbian couple, Heche's wedding took place a little over a year after she and partner Ellen DeGeneres ended their relationship. The ceremony took place in downtown L.A. in front of 73 friends and family members. DeGeneres was not on the invite list, which is fine, since DeGeneres will have her hands full with her new CBS sitcom, The Ellen Show. In a move sure to tax her acting skills, DeGeneres will be portraying a lesbian Internet executive: a massive departure from her prior sitcom, Ellen, in which DeGeneres portrayed a lesbian bookstore owner.

U.S. News Drops Cornell to 14 Rank
By ryan September 7, 2001
In its annual survey of colleges and universities, U.S. News and World Report has ranked a surprised Cornell 14th while Ivy peer Princeton sits at the top of the list for the second consecutive year. "We immediately said, 'huh?'" said Vice President for University Relations Henrik N. Dullea '61. According to Dullea, the magazine editors "changed their methodology" in computing the rankings; over the past three years Cornell had maintained its academic reputation, hanging around the 8th spot. Because criteria such as the faculty-student ratio have been affected by the way the magazine measures independent study work, masters study and thesis work, "nothing here changed but how they played with the numbers," according to Dullea. The University maintains that its selectivity, yield rate and SAT scores have stayed the same or improved in past years, and for this reason Cornell and many other universities tend to agree that the rankings should not be taken too seriously. "While we appreciate the recognition in these rankings, we don't put much stock into this particular ranking, or to others like it," said Princeton Spokesperson Marilyn Marks. "There are issues of methodology and subjectivity, and we don't believe any ranking can capture whether any institution is appropriate for any individual student," Marks added. Dullea acknowledged the campus-wide attention to the rankings, especially among freshmen. "We attempt to describe to them why the score changed from one year to another. We know they are aware [of the score]," Dullea said. Despite criticism that the rankings undermine the goals of higher education, the magazine, which publishes the lists as aids to prospective college students, attests the rankings are only designed to be a starting point. "The hundreds of thousands of people who buy our guidebook are not buying it to find out who's No. 1," said Peter Cary, U.S. News special projects editor. "They're really buying these guidebooks to mine the data, to find out what college is right for them." Yale and Harvard tied for second, followed by the California Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania. Staff Writer Carlos Perkins and the Associated Press contributed to this story.Archived article by Alison Thomas
Army's X-C Invades East Hill
The Cornell cross country team kicks off its season with a bang today as it battles Army. The Black Knights should provide interesting matchups for the Red men and women who last blew away their competition at the IC4A's and ECAC's, respectively. "We're ready to race," senior star Geoff Van Fleet confided. "It's going to be a good race, but it's not going to be easy." The Red returns four of its top five men. Army, however, returns all of its top five and finished 15th in the nation last season. "The goal of this year's squad will be to make a trip to the NCAA's," Army head coach Jerry Quiller had stated. Army is led by senior Clay Schwabe, a former Blacksburg High School standout. The Red has a well-devised plan for victory. "We'll keep relaxed for the first couple of miles then pull it out at the end," Van Fleet said. Racing on its home course, Cornell may hold an advantage. However, the tracksters don't expect that to have a great impact. "It's great to have people out there cheering you on, but it's not a huge advantage," Van Fleet said. Expectations are also high for both women's teams. It is year one of the post-Meredith Freimer '01 era for the Red and a number of underclassmen look to fill her shoes. Junior Carlan Gray hopes to extend on her brilliant ECAC peformance last season. Similarly, Jessica Parrott, Aliza Cohen, and Kinsy Miller round out a stud sophomore class.

David Ross Education Trust
DRET Team
World-renowned portrait painter inspires DRET students
"Fantastic news" for Rockingham as inspectors praise the progress made
Barnes Wallis Academy wins award for supporting young carers
Trust launches third Annual Review
The David Ross Education Trust works with primary and secondary academies across the East Midlands, Yorkshire and Humberside and the East of England. The Trust is delighted to have a grammar school and special school in our network. We are also proud to have one open free school, and one in project management in our group of academies.
While each academy is unique, we share common goals, aspirations, values and methods that enable us to work collaboratively and collectively to achieve the Trust's mission.
Our mission is to become the country's leading group of academies, committed to ensuring each and every one of our students has the support and opportunities to succeed.
To achieve this mission, three strategic objectives are at the heart of everything that we do:
Strong Community
Outstanding Opportunities
Against our key targets significant progress has, and continues, to be made. You can find out more by clicking here.
The Trustees developed the Organisation's Strategic Plan in Spring 2016 for the next phase of our development.
Reflecting on the Trust's mission, five areas have been identified that Trustees believe will have the potential to make the biggest impact on the Trust's future performance. These were:
Developing the DRET teaching approach and practice for sustained school improvement
Strengthening leadership and governance
Developing the curriculum, with a strong focus on the educational continuum and embedding enrichment into the education offer
Developing the central functions and infrastructure of the Trust
Ensuring the long term viability of the Trust and its academies
Four key areas are also highlighted as the key areas for investment between 2016-2020. These are:
Improvement Clusters
Improvement Clusters, in partnership with the Teaching School, remain central to the Trust's improvement model. Clusters are groups of academies linked by geography, containing a strong framework which encourages best practice and resources to be shared. This alliance is the route by which DRET will address the legacy of underachievement, truly transforming our educational system.
ICT is at the heart of our teaching and learning ambitions and ensuring that our students are ready for life in the 21st century. We need to invest in, and value, the contribution that e-learning can make to the network.
The early years in a child's education are the building blocks on which their schooling is built. The Trust will extend nursery provision and support families by investing in high quality wrap around provision.
Citizenship and Healthy Lifestyles
A child's contribution should be judged on more than just what is achieved in the classroom, it is the value they add to their community. Instilling the importance of citizenship and healthy lifestyles should sit hand in hand with academic endeavour.

Hold on to the moments.
One minute they're holding you.
When the music is all wrong.
Now silence is your song.
Live for today, love lives on.
Holds on to the moments.
I'll never stop loving you.
Love's forever, love's never alone.
You can.t kiss the rain.
You can't kiss the sun.
But kissing you is a gift from God.
All I can see is you.
Today, my tanks were almost on empty. I didn't have any more energy left to manage the daily, interim or long-term crises I have in front of me. Just the acknowledgement of such, may create another crisis! I couldn't decide what to do. After all, I am responsible for family, friends, coworkers, partners, industry associates and customers.
You could even say I have a leadership crisis in the mix, if that's not too self-important. Where do you turn when you are at the end of your rope and you're last in line?
Essentially those I interact with daily, I would imagine, would be more than a bit surprised if I went off the rails. The problem is, I have all the responsibilities, all the failures, regardless of who within the organization has made the mistake(s). I have always been afraid I just didn't have the will. I have always been afraid I was to give in or give up. I just didn't. No brag. Just fact.
Here is some advice from John Baldoni, who is a leadership consultant, coach, and speaker. He is the author of nine books, including 12 Steps to Power Presence: How to Assert Your Authority to Lead. See his archived blog for hbr.org here. Baldoni's advice has helped me.
Take a moment to figure out what's going on. An executive I know experienced a major disruption in service to his company. He was the person in charge and he told me that at the first response meeting everyone started talking at once. The chatter was nervous response — not constructive — so he delegated responsibilities and then called for a subsequent meeting in an hour's time. This also helped to impose order on a chaotic situation.
Demonstrate control. When things are happening quickly, no one may have control, but a leader can assume control. That is, you do not control the disaster — be it man-made or natural — but you can control the response. A leader puts himself into the action and brings the people and resources to bear. Think of Red Adair, who made a name for himself putting out oil fires that no one else could. A raging blaze may seem uncontrollable but Adair knew could control the way it was extinguished.
Keep loose. Not only does this apply to personal demeanor — a leader can never afford to lose composure — it applies to the leader's ability to adapt rapidly. A hallmark of a crisis is its ability to change quickly; your first response may not be your final response. In these situations, a leader cannot be wedded to a single strategy. She must continue to take in new information, listen carefully and consult with the frontline experts who know what's happening.
As much as we like to see senior executives pitch in and help with the heavy lifting, there is a limit. A senior executive's prime role is setting direction. If he or she is engaged too much in front line responsibility, then who is doing the vision thing? Some executives still enjoy doing that hands-on work; they like the rush of adrenaline that comes from direct action. Too bad. That is not their job any more.
Leaders have another important role during a crisis and that is to provide perspective. As Mike Useem has written in The Go Point, an insightful study of decision-making, effective leaders can often do more by standing back from the action.
It is why, as Useem notes, that the team leader in mountaineering expeditions often remains at base camp rather than hiking to the summit. That way, if trouble strikes, he can direct the response with the perspective that comes from seeing the mountain as a whole and the conditions that affect the summit team.
The measure of a leader is often tested during a crisis. And those leaders who can engage directly, but still maintain their sense of perspective, are the ones that will help the organization survive.
P.S. I wrote this in 2013 and decided it is still relevant, maybe even more so today! I guess I am at least capable of listening to others advice. Thanks Mr. Baldoni!

Circumstances and motifs of the sacral Sapieha Foundations in the 17th century
Te reasons for the establishment of Sapieha Foundations were widely understood religious motifs, which were to prove the benefactor's piety and fervor of faith. Te Sapiehas were guided by the desire to multiply and spread God's glory. Te Sapieha Foundations were established mainly within the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It was a religiously and culturally diversified area and, due to this, the character of the foundations was also a kind of manifestation of the fight against the Orthodox and Protestant Churches, being, at the same time, competitive to these rites. Moreover, foundation acts were votive offerings made by the benefactor for achieved victories. Religious zeal, a will to help the needy and widely understood religious motifs are not the only reasons for establishing sacral foundations. They were also accompanied by the will to show one's grandeur and prestige. Apart from church foundations, the Sapiehas also initiated secular ones: hospitals, dowries for poor maidens and schools. Establishing a foundation, laymen were apparently guided by the will to do something good or useful and to support the poor. What is more, such activity manifested the need to care about social issues. In many cases, just through foundations, the Sapiehas thus designated themselves burial places even though the deceased's will was not always fulfilled. Trough a number of sacral foundations, their size and location in the state and city, the Sapiehas tried to strengthen the family's prestige. For the Sapiehas, the founded object became an important source of prestige, a proof of wealth and a visible symbol of power, which was an indispensable determinant of a social position and status. Founding sacral objects was becoming a certain kind of social obligation among the magnates. It was one of the most important ways of maintaining one's own social status.

A fantasy-inspired set features a giant garden gnome watching over a kaleidoscopic neighborhood. A playground for the Bermuda-wearing college boy and the powerful female figure in gladiator boots, seemingly in charge.
She is the star and she owns it: decked-out in jacquard suits, denim, and gold chains, she and her Amazon ponytail reign supreme. It's nighttime and we can feel the heat under the neon lights of the carousel-town.
Starring Fergie, the ultimate hip hop honey vixen, and good boy with an edge model Matthew Terry, the Spring/Summer 2017 campaign features two characters left to play alone in blown-up scenery against a pitch-black background. The town is empty, time to cash in on the fun.
A playful malice takes over the poser-characters aware of their being involved in a staged performance featuring over-the-top styles and accessories. The cold filter and blue undertones take the sweetness out of the giant-size gelato cone and the candy-houses with a good-family-home fence, a nod to 80s disco. It's time to play games and they have all the props they need: a bike, a 50s vintage car, candy, garden trolls, and, why not: a ride on the carousel.
Iconic imagemaker Steven Klein once again collaborates with Philipp Plein on another new project. A memory-shoot of the final Milan show set before the designer moves his extravaganza to New York. The images clearly state the brand's style philosophy and the clothes own the town, bringing a fantasy world to life and creating a sensorial reality that stretches out of its wonderfully imagined limits. The campaign puts women center stage, shining in gold accessories and details, always up front – while the kids can only stand back and watch. Yes, powerful and super-delicious women are back and so is Philipp Plein's exclusive Wonderland.

Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt A. Hoffman
Home > More News > Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt A. Hoffman
NEWS RELEASE 21-001 - JANUARY 5, 2021
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office is pleased to announce the swearing-in of newly elected Sheriff Kurt Alan Hoffman.
Sheriff Hoffman began his law enforcement career in 1989 at the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office. In 1997 after earning his Juris Doctorate from Nova Southeastern University, Hoffman became an Assistant State Attorney for the 12th Judicial Circuit. In 2005, Hoffman joined the sheriff's office as the agency's General Counsel and was soon promoted to the rank of Captain. Three years later, he promoted to the rank of Major, and in 2014, was selected by Sheriff Tom Knight to serve as Colonel and Chief Deputy of the nearly 1,000-member agency. In 2019, Knight announced his plans to retire and endorsed Hoffman in his campaign to become the county's chief law enforcement officer. Hoffman won the universal primary in August 2020 and today, will take his oath to begin his first term as Sarasota County Sheriff.
"There is nothing better than wearing this uniform and serving the community I grew up in," commented Sheriff Hoffman. "I am humbled by the opportunity this community has given me and I am excited about the four years ahead. Sarasota County is by far the best place to live in the state of Florida and I can't think of a better place to take this next step in my career."
Sheriff Hoffman earned his Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Saint Leo College and his Master of Science in Criminal Justice from International College. He is a graduate of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center's Police Legal Advisors Training Program and a member of the Florida Bar's Labor and Employment Law, and City, County and Local Government Law sections. In 2011, Sheriff Hoffman completed the FBI's Florida Executive Development Seminar and in 2013, was invited to attend to the FBI's National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. While at the academy, Sheriff Hoffman earned a Graduate Certificate in Leadership from the University of Virginia.
Sheriff Hoffman and his wife Teri reside in Venice.

Q: Reading files using getline fstream Im having a bit of problem with getline. I want to read line by line but only the >> reading is working while the getline doesnt read. Here is my code:
int studentSize;
string programme;
filein >> studentSize;
filein >> programme;
if (programme == "Physics")
{
    for(int i=0; i < studentSize; i++)
    {
        getline (filein,namephys, '*');
        filein >> idphys;
        getline (filein,course, '*');
        filein >> mark;

        phys.push_back(new physics());
        phys[i]->setNameId(namephys, idphys);
        phys[i]->addCourse(course, mark);
        sRecord[idphys] = phys[i];
    }
}

And here is my file:
2
Physics
Mark Dale*
7961050
Quantum Programming*
99

The output for Mark Dale and Quantum Programming doesnt work well. It seems to be getting the whole line before them. Thank you for your help.

A: A stream might fail at any time & your loop has no way of reacting to it.
You should do something like this :
if( programme == "Physics" )
{
    filein.ignore();

    // a more strict version is : (#include <limits>)
    //filein.ignore( numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n' );

    while( getline(filein, namephys, '*') &&
           filein >> idphys &&
           filein.ignore() && //** ignore the trailing newline (operator>> doesn't read it)
           getline(filein, course, '*') &&
           filein >> mark &&
           filein.ignore() )
    {
        /* do something */
    }
}

This loop immediately exits whenever the stream state becomes bad

What's Causing Increased Mortality Rates of Middle Aged Americans?
Life expectancy rates vary all over the place depending on what sources you look at. It also depends on where you live, your life style, and more. For example, one source posted in 2009 stated:
"Life expectancy is the average number of years of life remaining at a given age. It is the average expected lifespan of an individual. Today humans have an average life span of 31.99 years in Swaziland and 82 years in Japan. Our chart shows statistics for the average age you will live based on various world countries."
In the US, one source revealed that the life expectancy for white males born in 1900 was 47 years and for black males born the same year, it was only 33 years. There was also a disparity for women born in 1900 with white women having a life expectancy of 49 years and black women of 34 years.
Over time with huge improvements in medicine and other areas, the life expectancy numbers jumped by 1930. White males on the average lived to be 60 and black males lived to be 47. White women lived to be 64 and black women lived to be 49.
By 2000, life expectancy rates had increased to 75 years for a white male, 68 years for a black male, 80 years for a white female and 75 years for a black female.

Jon Gosselin's New, Humble Life
Today in celebrity gossip: Jon Gosselin lives in the woods, Prince Charles is old, and Jennifer Lawrence and Jeff Daniels had dinner.
Remember Jon Gosselin? He was one tenth of the Jon & Kate Plus 8 crew, the mega-sized family that captured the nation's attention during the strange last days of the aughts. Then there was a spectacular, ugly, public divorce, the gossip machine blaring long and loud about every sad detail of the split until, suddenly, there was silence. Nothing. Kate popped up on Dancing with the Stars but that was quickly forgotten and it was quiet. So what happened after all that? Where did everyone go? Well, according to an interview with Entertainment Tonight that aired last night, Jon moved to the woods. Yup, he packed up his stuff and moved to the woods, like a common fairytale recluse. Good for him. But what does he do in the woods all day, other than brood and snicker to himself while he collects bird bones and bits of forest fuzz to make strange figurines out of? He waits tables! Yeah he works at a restaurant that is in or near the woods and seems pretty happy! How about that. The woods: Could they work for you? Jon says he and Kate only text and email, they don't even see each other when they pick up or drop off the kids. So that's sad. But other than that, I think this story has a happy ending. After all that turmoil and strife and glare, Jon is a happy resident of the woods. That's all he needed. "All I needed was the woods." [New York Daily News]
Here's a funny little story. Jennifer Lawrence is in Atlanta filming Hunger Games: Return of Jafar. Jeff Daniels is in Atlanta to film the Dumb & Dumber sequel. So they had dinner. Yup! Two celebrities in Atlanta at the same time is cause for celebration, so they went to this hip, fancy restaurant (I mean, Atlanta hip and fancy) with the Farrely brothers and had a dinner. Who knows what they talked about! "So, you like acting?" "Yeah, I like acting. You?" "I do. I like acting." Something like that, probably! What fun. What a weird group. But that's OK. Maybe the Farrelys will write a comedy for her. She needs to do a comedy. She's so funny in real life and so serious in her movies. Though maybe that's why it works. Maybe she needs to have that balance. Maybe that's something they talked about. Who knows. Sadly, we'll probably never know. [Page Six]
As of today, Prince Charles would be the oldest king crowned were he to be crowned. He just beat William IV, who was 64 years, 10 months, and 5 days old when he was crowned in 1830. Now Charles would be the oldest. He's also "the longest-serving heir apparent," which must make him feel great. He sulks in his chambers while Camilla furiously grabs all the newspapers and throws them out, then stomps over to the telephone and dials William's number. "Oh hello, Camilla, how are you today?" But Camilla doesn't bother with pleasantries, saying "Put that wife of yours on the phone." And so William does and when Catherine comes on the line with a chilly, "Yes, Camilla?" Charles's wife spits at her, "Listen to me you hungry little commoner. Feeding vicious stories about my husband's age isn't going to convince him to abdicate a single thing to that horse-toothed husband of yours. Do you hear me? You will not win this one, you low country badger. Charles will be king, and you will have to wait your turn, you grubby little peasant." Catherine raises her eyebrows. "Mmhm. Is there anything else I can help you with Camilla?" "Yes you can piss off and leave us all alone, just like that boy's slag of a mother." "All right, Camilla. I must say goodbye. So lovely to hear from you. Ta ta." Catherine hangs up and William looks at her expectantly, hoping maybe that these constantly bickering ladies had patched something up. "Well?" "Oh it was nothing," Catherine says breezily, walking over to her husband and smoothing his shirt and fixing his hair, before her hands move further down, cooing, "And how is my little king this morning. Oh, not so little at all I see." And that's how that day goes. [People]
Millionaire contractor Ben Krupinski, who builds homes for the rich and fabulous of the Hamptons and elsewhere, is being accused by his grown, former model daughter of having had an affair with Martha Stewart, for whom he built a house. She says that's what caused the rift that eventually led to Krupinski cutting off her $26,000 per month allowance and kicking her out of the family's mansion in Bedford. This woman is 46 years old, by the way. But she still had an allowance. It sounds like she's maybe not in the best mental state, but that doesn't mean she isn't telling the truth. I like the idea of Martha Stewart having an affair with her contractor. Don't you? That sounds right. Mid-coitus she's talking about door jambs and crown molding and whatnot, asking him about quartz countertops and pasta faucets as they maneuver into an elaborate position. That seems correct to me. [Page Six]
Well it's Friday and people are still shocked that Clint Eastwood has a deeply attractive son — where have you guys been? Some of us have known this for years — so here are more pictures of Scott Eastwood. Because why not. [Us Weekly]

We embrace and can handle change. The more computers and features, the better.
Husband-and-wife mechanics Jason and Janet Bigelow, owners of Advanced Tire & Auto Center on Highway 35 in Aberdeen, are the focus of a May 12 feature story by the Asbury Park Press. The article—"Car Repair is Computer Repair at Aberdeen Shop"—highlights the entrepreneurs' niche focus on the kinds of advanced diagnostics and repairs that are typically available only at dealerships.
In the piece, Jason describes how the auto repair business has transitioned from being largely mechanical to one that is increasingly digitized. "Back in the 1990s, cars had maybe two computers, but the average car today has nearly 40," he told the APP. "So you almost have to treat cars like laptops when it comes to repair." Having invested in 21 factory scan tools (diagnostic software packages for cars), Advanced is able to provide diagnostic and repair services for a wide range of domestic and foreign vehicles. "We're the only shop on the East Coast to have this capability for so many vehicles…We consider ourselves 'neurosurgeons for your car,'" Jason said.
The 4,500-square-foot shop, which employs four technicians, provides customers with everything from transmission maintenance, to diagnostics for cooling systems, hybrid engines and advanced computers; to more traditional services such as oil changes; installation of batteries, shocks and struts; state inspections, factory-scheduled maintenance; tire sales and services; and wheel alignments.
About Advanced Tire & Auto Center.
Advanced Tire & Auto Center, located on Route 35 in Aberdeen, Twp., N.J., was established by veteran mechanic Jason Bigelow in 1995, who now runs the business with his wife Janet, also a mechanic. Known for its focus on diagnosing and repairing state-of-the-art, 21st-century vehicles, Advanced Tire & Auto Center utilizes 21 factory O.E. diagnostic tools paired with well-trained technicians to perform the same level of service offered by dealerships, but at lower costs. Its comprehensive services include tire sales and service, fleet vehicle services, an on-site body shop, wheel alignments, "check engine light" diagnostics and much more.
