What a Virgo credit card might look like? Libra personality and a credit card.
Libra is the only zodiac symbol that is not represented by an animal or a human-being. Libra is usually depicted by an old set of scales used in trading; Libra was used for the name for a weight in the Ancient Roman culture. This shows that they strive for balance and equilibrium. This is the reason behind the graphic of scales on the Libra credit card. They are fair to others and do not like to play tricks on them. If the Libra's had a motto it might sound like, "To every action may there be an opposite and equal reaction." Their inner nature is ruled by the Sun. They often fall for flattery because they love getting admired for their charm and good taste.
Libra people really like to have a good personal appearance, especially with hair, nice colors and the way they walk. They like the colors ivory, pink, rose, turquoise and blue. Libras tend to be frivolous but like the finer side of things, especially when it comes to decorating home. One of their worst qualities is spending money, so the credit card should have a high limit. The libra credit card is hence devised such that it has a maximum spending limit of a stipulated amount. Hence the Libra Card should make sure that Librans have a jolly time, but do not go over the top.
They like to live in the moment so they may use their Libra credit card to indulge on an expensive meal or go on vacation to a luxurious resort. They are socially active so they might be seen in clubs, a party or belong to a group of people that hang out and have fun. In pairs they epitomize balance, harmony and fair play. To enjoy all these, a Libran should own a special Libra Card. This would make sure that their expenses are not over the top and yet there is not stop to their fun.
They also like elegance so you may see them use their Libra Card at the box office to purchase tickets for an opera, play or some type of theatrical performance.
They like the outdoors, especially horseback riding and riding bikes. They might take a nice walk on the beach or seek out a nice walking trail in the woods or take up mountain climbing with a group. You might find them playing a game of chess or enjoying a nice skate around an outdoor skating rink.
They have a weakness for rich foods and sugar so they might have to take up some nice aerobics because even though they detest physical exercise they want to stay looking good. To be able to indulge in every luxury, it is a must for every Libran to own a special Libra Card. It makes life simpler and relives one of the worries of carrying cash and making payments in emergencies.
They desire peace and wellness for all so they might be using their Libra credit card to purchase items to help people who are in need. A Libra would manage it with grace and charm and enjoy helping others that are in need of help. They can sense when someone wants something before they even ask. Librans endeavour to make others more important than themselves. Hence a Libra Card would simplify a Librans life to a great extent.

Bangladesh's Tour Of Sri Lanka In Doubt Over Coronavirus Restrictions

Bangladesh's forthcoming Test series in Sri Lanka is under doubt after their board's chief rejected the coronavirus restrictions imposed by the hosts. Bangladesh are scheduled to visit Sri Lanka for a three-match Test series in October-November. If the series goes ahead, it would mark the return to international cricket for both the nations after a long lay-off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
However, things are not looking promising at present. On Monday, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan said Sri Lanka's conditions, which include 14 days of isolation for players after arrival — during which practising would be forbidden — were unacceptable. His comments came a week after opening batsman Saif Hasan tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of a planned training camp before their scheduled departure for Sri Lanka.
"The proposal we received is… not even close to what we agreed upon," Hassan told reporters in Dhaka.
"Under these conditions, it is not possible for us to play the Test championship… This is not even close to what is being followed in some other parts of the world where cricket is being played during this time," he added.

In an attempt to keep the coronavirus situation under control, Sri Lanka had made it mandatory for people entering the country to follow a compulsory 14-day quarantine at a government-nominated facility, which includes some hotels.
Hassan said players had been unable to train together after all sporting activities in Bangladesh were suspended in March in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. Bangladesh finally resumed their training in July but even that was not full-fledged as only one player and a trainer are allowed inside Dhaka's main stadium at a time as a precaution.
"Our players have not been in training for seven months. If we can't train… then it's not possible to play a Test," he said.
Sri Lanka's Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa told his country's cricket board to work with the health department to try and find a way around the strict quarantine procedures.
"Given the significance of #cricket in the region, I have asked @OfficialSLC to consult the covid task force and reconsider the @BCBtigers matter," Rajapaksa tweeted.
Sri Lanka Cricket are yet to comment on the matter. Bangladesh would be really desperate to put up a good show in Sri Lanka if the series is played as they are languishing at the bottom in the ICC Test Championship points table. They are the only team who are yet to earn a point. In such a scenario, they might decide against traveling to Sri Lanka if the quarantine rules are not relaxed.

Tencent has recently confirmed that the most awaited 0.11.0 update on PUBG Mobile would be received soon. The PUBG Mobile update 0.11.0 would be a zombies mode and the release date is February 19. In this concern, the game's servers would be taken down for maintenance from 5:30 am to 1:30 pm IST on February 18. The same notification can be seen when you log in to the PUBG game. After the update, the service would be resumed like before, but that depends on the maintenance progress.
The new version of the update of PUBG will be pushed to Google Play and App Store and that would be starting on February 19. This has been confirmed on the PUBG Mobile Discord and the update would be an extended beta for the 0.11.0 update. The Zombies mode will also get an official name, but for the time being, it called to Survive Till Dawn.
What you can expect in this update?
The next thing that will be added in this update is the Resident Evil 2 main menu theme and music, which will make the game more exciting.
In this new update, you can disable the shadows under settings and even you can keep the past results for one month.
The update said PUBG zombies mode in the 0.11.0 update is a kind of treat that one can play. The game seems to be easy because you can have other friendly players keep an out for opportunistic human opponents to kill distracted by zombies. So, isn't it a great update coming up? Till the update gets rolled you need to stay alert to update the game as well. It seems that the update would be a huge one so, make sure to keep yourself updated on it when it comes to playing.
Enjoy the game like never before!


The debris and fuselage of Indonesian Boeing 737 MAX 8, which went down moments after taking off from Jakarta on Monday, 29 October, have been spotted by the search team deployed for rescue operations.
Two engines and landing gear have been found and a "low ping signal" was detected by a sonar locator that could potentially be of the plane's black box voice recorder.
The plane had been carrying 189 people on board and crashed in waters 30 metres deep in the Java Sea. All passengers have reportedly died in the crash.
After take-off, the plane disappeared from the radar 13 minutes into the flight. The pilot requested to return back to the airport minutes after, CNN reported. However, he did not cite any emergency in the plane. Officials have stated technical failure as the reason for the crash.
Since the accident, more than 60 body bags containing human remains have been sent to medical experts for identification.
A diver named Syachrul Anto has also died on Friday, 2 November, while as part of a rescue operation team searching for the plane's debris. Colonel Isswarto, commander of the search operation, has cited decompression as the reason for his death.
According to a report by ABC, Anto was an experienced diver who was a part of several evacuation operations, including the Air Asia Flight QZ8501 crash in 2014.
Untill recently, Indonesian airlines remained barred from flying to Europe and US for years because of the safety concerns reported by passengers.

A: I started when I was three. I think it was my mother's decision. I've always been very attracted to the athletic aspect of dance. I was a hurdler in high school.
Q: What brought you to Jackson?
A: I came here with my husband at the time, Bob Berky. We came for a summer and decided to stay and create a life.
Q: Had you been to Jackson, or even Wyoming, before?
A: No. The first time I came here I was like, "Where are the trees?" Now I think Wyoming is so beautiful from a sculptural perspective. I drive all over the state teaching residencies, my camera right beside me. I take pictures of the clouds, the skies, and the hills.
A: I am also a visual artist. If dance is a visual language and impermanent, it's the permanence of visual art that draws me to it. I paint and collage. When I toured with dance companies, instead of writing in a journal, I created small collages.
Q: You choreograph, too; is this something all dancers do, or is it a different skillset?
A: Some dancers don't like to choreograph. They like to be the instrument rather than the player. It is a different skillset, because you have to have the ability to draw out of someone what you want.
Q: Has the choreographer in you superseded the dancer?
A: Yes. It's not that I don't like performing, because I do. I am more invested in the process. When I took on CDW, the amount of time it took administratively cornered me into making a choice. And also I am getting older.
Q: What informs your choreography?
A: Being human. Life. What I'm personally questioning or examining.
A: The Meal [an original CDW piece] was performed with three tables. The idea behind it was that we should be as fulfilled at the end of our life as we are at the end of a meal. Life is a meal.
Q: Are dancers in Jackson different than those you've worked with elsewhere?
A: I think most dancers work hard. They have endless energy. One time my mom, who is an artist, came to visit. She said to me, "This is a place of extremes." People here are extreme, and it matches the landscape. I think that that really expresses how this place affects people, dancer or not.

"I can't talk right now. I'm writing a strongly worded e-mail to my florist."
-Schmidt
"TinFinity" celebrated ten years of Schmidt and Nick living together, and it also marked a few major events in this season's story arc. While I'm not really thrilled with a couple of the plot twists in this episode, I thought that the episode overall was strong. It has a good balance of humor and heart, and Schmidt was acting more like a human being than a cartoon than he has in many recent episodes. Yeah, I can see at some point down the line having the same complaints about Schmidt that I currently have about Barney on HIMYM. I think Schmidt had a more human starting point, though, so hopefully that bodes well for the future. Besides Schmidt's heart getting crushed into tiny pieces, there was also plenty of Nick and Jess awkwardness, as Jess is determined to start dating again to move past having kissed Nick. Which leaves Nick feeling a little sore, understandably. In the end, the two friends who are celebrating with their party only have each other for now, before the TV powers at be finally allow to be with the women who are clearly meant for them.
As I mentioned in the introduction, this episode was the celebration of Nick and Schmidt living together and being friends for ten years. Apparently the ten year anniversary is the tin anniversary, so Schmidt wants to throw a big party and call it "TinFinity." Nick is down with this, but he wants some say in the party planning. Schmidt allows him to get porta potties and the balloons. Because he's Nick, Nick ends up actually buying a porta potty (a rather gross one at that) and trying to make money by setting it up in the park and such and charging people to use it. The balloons don't really go as planned, either. He buys a hot air balloon that figures into the very end of the episode. But he has no money to actually run the balloon, which kind of defeats the purpose. At the beginning of the episode, I felt kind of bad that Schmidt wasn't really letting Nick participate in the party planning, but by the end of the episode, I totally understood why!
Meanwhile, also as I mentioned in the introduction, Jess is doing her darndest to get over Nick and his hot kissing ways. Personally, I would have just gone with Nick, but thanks to the rules of television (you don't want to get the endgame couple together too early or you'll have the next "Moonlighting"…the horror!), she'll have to take the slow path back to Nick after making a few detours. Anyway, Jess thinks she's found her rebound when she goes out to the bar with the guys and meets Jax McTavish, an apparently famous football player. Winston really, really wants to befriend Jax, mostly because it would probably boost his cred as a sports reporter. To Winston's chagrin, though, Jax is mostly just interested in Jess. Jess wants a man who, unlike Nick, is really comfortable with sharing emotion, and at first Jax seems to fit that desire really well. Then Jess learns that athletes do everything really intensely, including feeling emotion. Jax goes from zero to sixty in his feelings for Jess in a matter of minutes. He claims he's hopelessly in love with her, and that understandably freaks Jess out.
Soon enough, it's time for the big TinFinity party, and the whole crew is there. It's a blowout affair, as only a Schmidt party can be. The lights and music gear up for Schmidt and Nick to give toasts, but it's the ladies in their life who end up stealing the show. Thanks to other men. First, Cece's new boyfriend (I think we saw him in last week's episode, too), Shivrang, up and proposes to her in front of the whole party. It's awfully soon for an engagement, but Cece is determined to make this semi-arranged marriage to a fellow Indian thing happen, so she says yes. Schmidt is absolutely dejected, and Max Greenfield plays it so well. You can really feel Schmidt's pain, even though he tries to play it cool. It sucks that his big party has been coopted by somebody else proposing to the love of his life. Schmidt's partner in TinFinity is soon to join him in the another guy just moved in on my girl club, though. Jax decides to seize the opportunity and going up on stage to make a huge declaration of love to Jess, too. This mostly just makes Jess really, really uncomfortable, and the runs off.
Schmidt and Nick end up in the uninflated hot air balloon's basket, and they gripe a bit about how at the end of the day, they only have each other. Jess ends up in the hot air balloon basket too, but she soon becomes uncomfortable because of Nick's presence and makes a really, really concerted effort to leave. Nick's got to feel pretty crappy about that one. This episode really left me contemplating where the two core romantic relationships of the show, Nick and Jess and Schmidt and Cece, are headed in the long run. Nick and Jess appear to have a little more growing up to do with a reconciliation and second attempt at a romantic relationship most likely set for the end of this season. Schmidt and Cece appear to be headed for a "stop the wedding!" type reconciliation somewhere down the road. Or maybe with the latter, the creative team will do something unexpected and not go the cliché route. I think another lesson this episode taught all of us as viewers is that first and foremost, this is a show about the friendship between four roommates and how they navigate their early 30's as millenials much more than it is about romantic relationships. The romantic relationships are something that happens as a part of the bigger picture.

In 1863 Adams convinced the British government to prevent Confederate ironclad ships, built in Liverpool, from leaving port, thereby maintaining British neutrality. Charles Francis Adams, Sr., like his father (John Quincy Adams) and grandfather (John Adams) kept a sequence of detailed diaries. The transcription of Charles Francis Adams's diary entries from 1861-1865 has not been verified against the original manuscript, nor has any annotation been provided. The MHS makes this content available as a valuable research source but with the caveat that it is not yet an edition as established by modern documentary editing standards.


Universities are trying to produce graduates with the skills employers need now and in the future — except no-one really knows what those are. Dr Lee Duffield proposes a better approach.
THIS YEAR'S national report on university performance produced about the same result as a year ago and in the commentary on it about the same level of confusion.
The 2017 Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) survey, for new graduates' satisfaction with their degrees – and a follow-up taken from their employers – showed 88% of students in the poll expressing satisfaction and 83.6% of employers saying those graduates were well enough prepared.
Journalists took out various angles, depending on their professional interests or company ideology, for example the Australian Financial Review declaring employers were happy with the outcome, The Australian saying that it showed up a poor lookout for the economy, and the ABC thinking the number of unhappy graduates looked high.
The whole exercise shows up a national problem: a narrow fixation on the jobs angle in university education and a general uncertainty about what education should be about.
He identified a 'native Australian tradition' that met the needs of a pioneering society and continued much unchanged from the 1830s to the mid-1950s, before an "educational revolution" finally started getting under way.
'... distinguished by such features as stress on equality of opportunity, reliance on the state, increasingly centralised control, 'fair average' standards fitted to the majority rather than an elite, a paucity of theory, emphasis on social harmony rather than individualism as a social end of education, and a tendency to prefer education that was cheap, brief and practical' (in RWT Cowan ed. (1966), Education for Australians, Melbourne, Cheshire, pp 22-23).
In the universities sector, which has continued on that line even in recent times, we've had a rapid expansion of the number of university places available in the name of opportunity for all and the hope of building a future "smart" economy — and then an effort by governments to backpedal on the cost.
Australian students pay as much as 30% of their costs through the HECS loans and universities recruit students heavily from overseas – mainly China – bringing in fees money for now, but with potential problems around longer-term financial assurance and academic standards — beginning with there being much unease about the quality of the IELTS English language tests.
It is getting tougher for universities to deliver a product that pleases anybody.
The last phase of tension over resources began with the decision of a Labor Government five years ago to lift the cap on places, causing a rush for enrolments and expansion, now off-set by last month's decision of the Turnbull Government to impose a new cap to get back $2 billion from the sector.
The 'uncapped era' had benefits and costs. It widened access by bringing in people who in the 20th century would not have gone anywhere near a university. This presented pedagogical challenges for those of us teaching 'first-in-family'/ working class/ minority students, but university managements have generally not provided sufficient resources to allow us to meet these challenges.
Rather than employing more staff to deal with increased student numbers, they cut corners while telling the world they had 'improved productivity'. This meant casualising and outsourcing teaching work, cutting face-to-face hours or replacing them with online. Many of the new students have been short-changed and this is reflected in the drastic increase in the numbers of those who fail to complete their degrees.
WILL THE AD CAMPAIGNS DELIVER?
Similar dynamics underscore the satisfaction figures being publicised this month, in the expansionist environment, of imposing new buildings and high-cost advertising and student marketing campaigns.
In keeping with tradition, those entering with strong matriculation scores, and graduating from higher-end courses with vocational applications, do well, get good jobs and make a good impression.
Those entering with weak matriculation scores, and starting in broad non-vocational courses, can upgrade on the way through or later via add-on vocational credentials — though most do not manage this and it comes out in the survey figures.
In straight language, a well-intentioned opening of the system has not been followed up with the investment it would take – by the government or the universities – to provide well for diversified cadres and levels of students. Not much logic is required to see how standards of professional preparation, research and thought, generally, can be at risk.
Crude ideas about getting business interests to write out a menu card for themselves and provide tertiary job training to meet their demands – "cheap, brief and practical" – are being heard in some quarters of the government and industry, as they have been for decades.
However, they come up against the complexity of the modern economy and uncertainty about what it will need in the immediate future — business don't really know.
If you accept that education is education at any level and might be about more than the immediate jobs drive, consider also liberal thought — which works around cultivation and self-cultivation of the individual, free person.
Liberal thought supports the idea that if you have properly studied something, you have a good chance of being able to do anything.
If you are well read and empowered by other deep studies, you can competently take charge of your own vocational search and become a useful thinker in society across a whole range of human activities.
It is the idea that universities putting resources into best academic standards will be bound to produce good outcomes for the professions, research, society in general.
For that, in 2018, the universities would need to cut back on their favourite big ticket expansion items, apologise to their academic staff and get back to supporting them well — with good scholastic performances by students alike.
Alternatively, they might continue blind expansion at a crazy pace, but understand that they are not ordinary corporations and should, once again, skew their resources towards producing quality outcomes: good degrees by any world standard.
Considering students, it would require both: cultivating the intellectual high-achievers, but also finding a way to provide more for – and get more out of – the additional large numbers expensively recruited from the front rows of the classrooms, China, or wherever else.
It might be possible, depending on the strength of a learning and thinking tradition in Australia.
The point might be further illustrated by taking a look along the line to glimpse what is happening with children in schools, the next generation of students or "customers" for higher education — which is the subject matter for the article following this one.

Q: Inherit from another class and ActiveRecord::Base I have two classes
class Animal < ActiveRecord::Base; end
class Kitty < Animal; end
But when I Kitty.find_by_name('Ser Pounce') I find that I am actually querying the Animals table, despite having created a Kitty table through a migration.
So how can I tell rails that I want Kitty.find_by_name to query the Kitty table and not the parent Animals table?

A: Inheriting from models that inherit from ActiveRecord is a pattern for Single Table Inheritance. Instead of using STI (unless that's actually what you want), I would use a behavioral mixin pattern. Basically, make Animal a module and use include, so you'd have:
module Animal; end

and then
class Kitty < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Animal
end

That's probably the simplest way of keeping tables distinct per model and still keeping behavioral style OO.

A: The answer really depends on what you are tying to do: Sharing functionality, single table inheritance, or multiple table inheritance.
You can override the default STI behaviour via the abstract_class attribute:
class Animal < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.abstract_class = true
end

Any subclasses of Animal will then use their own tables.
There is a slight drawback to this method though; scopes defined on the super class don't work.  You need to define them via a class method instead.

Has anyone tried this mask?
Yes I'm using one. I'm really new to the game and its my first mask so I can only tell you that it fits me okay and its pretty easy to clear if I get water in the mask. I've got the one with a silver frame and black silicon sides. The silver paint seems to chip easy because I don't recall dropping or knocking my mask and there's some chips on the silver parts already. If you're not too fussy about looks (like me) then it should be alright.
I have one and I really like it. Of the ones I have used ( x vision, Demon, and a Scubapro ) I like the Demon the best. The silver paint does have an issue of scratching off easily. I asked Mares about this and it is not a warranty issue because it does not effect the use of the mask. It is something they said they were trying to fix. I bought mine when they first came out like the first one my LDS sold was to me. This problem may be corrected by now.
I found the fit to be very much the same. I have no problem going from one to the other. That being said if you can try it without buying it would be a good idea. My Brother in law dives with an X-Vision and it fits with a good seal. He tried to use the Demon mask and it was like turning a hose on in his mask. It just would not seal on his face but the X-vision work great.
Its amazing how two Mare's mask can fit completely different on the same person. I am looking forward to trying this mask out.

This week in: American Football – Week 9
November 3, 2011 September 4, 2012 ~ John Lally	~ 2 Comments
Judging by my predictions last week, the NFL this season has been somewhat unpredictable. A few highlights from my week 8 picks:
Colts +9.5 over Titans
What I said: Hard to take Indianapolis after they were crushed by the Saints
What happened: I took them, and they lost by 17
Giants -9.5 over Dolphins
What I said: Last time I took the Giants when they were heavily favoured at home, they failed to cover…
What happened: They failed to cover, I failed to learn my lesson
Saints -10.5 over Rams
The Rams sacked Saints QB Drew Brees 6 times on Sunday
What I said: I'm not sure how high they would have had to make this line for me to take the Rams – maybe -20.5.
What happened: The Rams lost their starting Quarterback, Sam Bradford for the game, but beat the Saints by 10
In other games: the Cardinals had a big lead over the Ravens in Baltimore, but failed to hold on and lost by a field goal; the Bills won for the first time in five tries playing in Toronto, keeping the injury plagued Redskins off the scoreboard in a 23-0 win; Tim Tebow had another bad game but without the fourth quarter heroics – the Lions beating the Broncos 45-10, moving Detroit to 6-2 for the season; the Steelers dominated the Patriots, whose secondary could not contain any of Pittsburgh's receivers in a 25-17 loss for New England; and the Eagles put in the kind of performance that shows why many predicted them as Superbowl favourites before the season, as they beat their divisional rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, 34-7. On Monday night, the Chiefs won their fourth straight game, having lost their first three, and now sit atop the AFC West with the team they beat, the San Diego Chargers.
This week sees several good divisional matchups across the league: AFC East contenders the Bills and Jets meet in Buffalo; the Steelers look for revenge for their week 1 loss against the Ravens in Pittsburgh; the New Orleans Saints hope to recover from their shock loss to the Rams, at home to the Buccaneers, who had a bye last week after their trip to London the previous Sunday; and in a battle of the Bad Quarterbacks, Tim Tebow's Broncos face off with Carson Palmer's Raiders in Oakland. There is also a rematch of Superbowl 42, when the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots to spoil their perfect season; the Packers will look to continue their unbeaten season when they play the Chargers in San Diego – though Sports Illustrated jinxed Green Bay this week by putting them on their cover with a headline of "The Perfect Pack"; the 6-1 49ers come to the East Coast to play the Washington Redskins; and the Rams try to improve on last week's surprise win over the Saints when they travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals.
Predictions:
Last week 6-7, somehow – having gone 1-5 in the early games; Season 61-55
Home teams in bold
Falcons -7.5 over Colts
Bills -1.5 over Jets

This week in: American and English Football – NFL heads to Wembley
October 20, 2011 September 4, 2012 ~ John Lally	~ 1 Comment
The NFL Returns to Wembley
There is a perfect crossover in footballs of both types this week, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears will play the fifth regular season NFL game at Wembley Stadium, the home of English "soccer". This now annual event is well received by the legion of fans the NFL has attracted across the Atlantic, but there is still disdain on both sides for the other country's "football" – which results in those who only embrace one of the sports, missing out on the other. To most Brits, American Football is nothing more than 'rugby with pads"; alongside those in the US who consider soccer boring, due to a lack of scoring.
I first started following the NFL in the early 90s, picking the Packers as my team with their young quarterback, Brett Favre – in the days before he had a phone that could send picture messages – as an alternative to the dominant Steve Young led 49ers, or the widely loved Dallas Cowboys. While I enjoyed the sport for the game itself, it was not until I moved to New York that I discovered the culture surrounding it – watching the games in a bar with friends, drinking some beers and eating some hot wings – really adds to the experience. On the other side, those who think that English football* is dull are missing out on the tribal nature of clubs supporters, on the boisterous atmosphere at the games, the anxiety of potential relegation, the joy of winning a trophy or beating your arch-rivals. I have attended fixtures in the NFL, NHL, NBA, and dozens of baseball games, but nothing comes close to the experience of going to a football game. Those who dismiss the other code of football are usually doing it out of ignorance, I love both types and recommend either to any sports fan. Besides, they are both much better than rugby…
*I'm calling it English football, but of course I could say European, South American, everywhere else on earth – as only the US calls it soccer
To help bring these two sports together, at least for this weekend, here's a look at how the season has gone in each league – with a comparison of teams who find themselves in similar positions:
Championship Contenders
These are the teams everyone expected to be competing for the top prizes and, thus far, have been proving people right:
Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, San Diego Chargers (NFL)
Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea (Premiership)
Strong Starters
The clubs who have jumped out to a good opening to their seasons, but there is a doubt as to whether this success has any longevity:
San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL)
Newcastle United, Stoke City, Tottenham Hotspur (Premiership)
Strong Teams, Indifferent Starts
Teams that have been dominant in recent years, but have not looked themselves in the first few weeks of this season, yet they cannot be written off just yet:
Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles (yep, even at 2-4) (NFL)
Arsenal, Liverpool (Premiership)
Middle of the Road Teams
The ones who will be mid-table in the Premiership, or will be on the cusp of a wild card for the playoffs but unlikely to contend for the Superbowl – essentially, they are mediocre:
Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs (NFL)
Aston Villa, West Brom, Fulham (Premiership)
Big Teams Down Low
In the NFL, this does not have as much impact as there is no relegation, in the Premiership, falling all the way down can be fatal:
Indianapolis Colts (NFL)
Everton (Premiership)
Luck Needed
For the Premiership clubs, they require some luck to avoid relegation, for the worst in the NFL, getting the number 1 pick in next year's draft means acquiring ace college QB, Andrew Luck (N.B. Colts & Everton are in these races too)
Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars (NFL)
Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers, Wigan Athletic, Norwich City, QPR, Swansea City, Sunderland, Wolverhampton Wanderers (Premiership)
CLICK HERE FOR THIS WEEK'S GAMES AND PREDICTIONS
It is never a good sign for fans when their team is being widely lauded in the media before they have won anything – or
Last week the Bills took down the highly fancied Eagles
had not even played a game. Just ask those who root for the Phillies, Red Sox, Heat or Eagles – all of whom were being predicted to go all the way prior to their respective seasons started, but failed to meet those expectations. So when I read in Peter King's "Monday Morning Quarterback" column on SI.com this Monday that the Packers and Lions, should they both keep winning, would each be 10-0 going into their Thanksgiving day showdown in Detroit, I knew that Green Bay were cursed for this week's game.
Then I checked the fixtures for week 6 and saw the reigning Champs are home to the woeful St. Louis Rams and my fears dissipated. Having overcome an early deficit against the Falcons in Atlanta in last Sunday night's game, the schedule has really opened up for Green Bay. Before the Turkey Day showdown with the Lions, the only other unbeaten team left in the NFL, the Packers face the struggling Vikings twice, host the Rams and the Buccaneers, and must travel to San Diego to play the Chargers – the only one of those games they will not be heavily favoured in.
Since I've spent around 200 words jinxing my own team, time to move on to a recap of last week's games. The Eagles dropped to 1-4 after their loss to the Buffalo Bills; the Vikings picked up their first win of the year by beating the Arizona Cardinals in Minnesota; and the Oakland Raiders, who lost their long time owner, Al Davis, who died on Saturday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were routed by the 49ers, who are looking strong favourites to win the NFC West this year; their divisional rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, provided the upset of the week when they beat the New York Giants in the New Meadowlands; and the Chargers survived a Tim Tebow fueled comeback from the Broncos in Denver, holding on to win 28-24. The Patriots got a measure of revenge on the Jets for last year's playoff loss; the Steelers routed the Titans; and the Chiefs won in Indianapolis, dropping the Colts to 0-5.
The pick of the games this week sees the Redskins, coming off a bye week, try to maintain their lead in the NFC East when they host the Eagles; Alex Smith and the 49ers travel to Detroit to face the 5-0 Lions; and the struggling Cowboys head to New England to play the Patriots. In the race for the worst record and therefore the number 1 draft pick, which this year mans landing superstar college Quarterback Andrew Luck, the 0-5 Colts are playing the Bengals; while the winless Dolphins, who had a bye last week, take on the New York Jets in New Jersey in Monday Night's game.
Predicitions
Last week, 8-5; season 40-37
Panthers +4.5 over Falcons
Bills +3.5 over Giants
Bengals -6.5 over Colts
49ers +4.5 over Lions
Packers -14.5 over Rams
Redskins -0.5 over Eagles
Steelers -12.5 over Jaguars
Raiders -5.5 over Browns
Ravens -7.5 over Texans
Cowboys +7.5 over Patriots
Bears -3.5 over Vikings
Dolphins +7.5 over Jets

Don't cry for me Tony Romo
Last week in the NFL, the Cowboys gave away another late lead, to lose a game they had seemed destined to win. Having lost to the Jets in week 1 after a Romo fumble and a blocked punt, this time the Cowboys literally threw away a seventeen point lead, their quarterback throwing three interceptions – two of which were returned by the Lions for touchdowns. The Eagles also were victims of a comeback, losing to the San Francisco 49ers 24-23, dropping Philadelphia to 1-3 for the season. Elsewhere, the Patriots bounced back from their defeat to the Bills in Week 3 to beat the Raiders in Oakland; the Packers were powered by four throwing touchdowns from Rodgers, who added two more with his feet, in their 49-23 demolition of the Denver Broncos; the Ravens thrashed the Jets 34-17, in a game in which neither quarterback, Sanchez nor Flacco, distinguished themselves. The Giants and the Redskins both won, leaving the two tied atop the NFC East with records of 3-1; Washington beat the St. Louis Rams, who remain winless alongside the Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts, who have still not been able to cope with the loss of their quarterback and leader, Peyton Manning.
Week 5 is the first to include bye weeks, so this round gives a rest to Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, Miami, Washington and Baltimore. For teams that are playing, NFC North rivals the Bears and Lions play each other in Monday Night Football in Detroit; the Packers travel to Atlanta to face a Falcons team they defeated in the playoffs in convincing fashion last January; . In another rematch from January's postseason, the Jets and Patriots meet up again in Boston, Tom Brady looking to gain revenge for New England's defeat.
Last week 8-8, season 32-32 – this week I'll provide a reason for each pick
Bills + 2.5 over Eagles – because Buffalo is 3-1, Philadelphia 1-3 and the line is just wrong
Bengals +2.5 over Jaguars – because Cincy has a good defence and I do not think Jacksonville will win the game, let alone cover
Titans +7.5 over Steelers – because I do no see Pittsburgh covering when their QB is injured and they have been unconvincing thus far
Chiefs +2.5 over Colts – simply taking the points – Kansas City has looked much improved in the last two weeks, and Indy are still winless.
Raiders +6.5 over Texans – Houston has not played particularly well thus far and yet are 3-1, meanwhile Oakland has lost to New England and a tough one in Buffalo, but I can see them at least covering this spread.
Vikings -2.5 over Cardinals – because the coin came up tails – I could not pick between these two woeful teams.
Saints -5.5 over Panthers – New Orleans has been quietly putting together good results since their opening day loss to the Packers. They'll continue that run here.
Giants -9.5 over Seahawks – I do not think the Giants can cover this spread, yet I do not think that Tavaris Jackson can keep Seattle this close…changed my mind several times but decided that the NFC West is so bad, I had to take New York.
49ers -1.5 over Buccaneers – because although I do not trust Alex Smith, despite him leading San Francisco to last week's win over the Eagles, Tampa Bay played Monday night on the East Coast and have a short week before the West Coast game on Sunday.
Chargers -4.5 over Broncos – I would have taken San Diego at 9.5 let alone -4.5
Patriots -9.5 over Jets – because Brady will be out for revenge, and will doubtlessly get it, as well as the Jets looking very ropey in their last two games.
Packers -5.5 over Falcons – because Green Bay is the best team in the league, and I'm biased.
Bears +5.5 over Lions – I think this will be a close game, so taking the points.
This week in: American Football Week 4

Brady threw four interceptions vs the Bills
Last week in the NFL, the Buffalo Bills came from 21-0 down to beat the New England Patriots 34-31, securing a win over their divisional rival for the first time in 9 years. After their comeback the week before against the Raiders, the Bills are showing that they finally have a team that can compete with the best and have won all three of their games this season. The Detroit Lions also overcame a big halftime deficit to beat the Minnesota Vikings; the New Orleans Saints won a high-scoring contest 40-33 over the Houston Texans in the Superdome; the Colts put up a good fight against the Steelers, but succumbed to a late field goal; and the Packers beat their NFC North rivals, the Chicago Bears, 27-17. On Monday night, the Cowboys edged out the Redskins despite not scoring a touchdown, all of their points coming from field goals in an 18-16 victory.
Going in to week four, three teams remain perfect – having won all of their games thus far: the aforementioned Bills, who this week travel to Cincinnati to play the Bengals; the Lions, who play the Cowboys in the Dallas; and the reigning champion Green Bay Packers, looking to improve to 4-0 at home against the Denver Broncos. Five winless teams remain, two of whom meet in Kansas City as the Chiefs play the Minnesota Vikings. The St. Louis Rams take on the Washington Redskins, the Dolphins are in San Diego for a game with the Chargers, and the Indianapolis Colts play Monday Night Football for their game against Josh Freeman's Buccaneers in Tampa Bay. In other games, the Patriots will look to rebound from their loss to the Bills in Oakland against the Raiders; the Giants and Cardinals face off in Arizona; and two of the AFC's playoff teams from last year meet in Baltimore as the Ravens play the Jets.

Harvard's finest - Ryan Fitzpatrick
Although Week 2 in the NFL reinforced some of the lessons from the opening round of fixtures, some of the games showed that the season is still early and the shape of it is still to be determined. New England, Green Bay and the New York Jets have started strongly and have the look of dominant teams for this season; the Colts without Peyton Manning, the Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks appear to be cannon fodder for their opponents. The Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills, two franchises that have suffered barren years of late, are both 2-0 and are showing signs of promise for their fan-bases. The Bills' Quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick, led his team to 35 second half points, scoring a touchdown on every drive they had in the third and fourth quarters, for a dramatic last-minute win. However, their opponents, the Oakland Raiders, had played the late Monday game on the West Coast prior to this game on the East Coast at 1pm on Sunday, so this comeback may have had as much to do with their fatigue as the Bills resilience.
The Ravens and the Cowboys had much different outcomes in their second games compared to their initial outings. Baltimore followed up their thrashing of the Steelers in Week 1 by themselves taking a beating from the Tennessee Titans; while Dallas QB Tony Romo, who had fumbled away a 14 point lead over the Jets in the opening fixture, was the hero this time around – throwing a 77 yard pass in Overtime to set up the winning field goal, despite having suffered a fractured rib on an earlier play. The Eagles and the Falcons are both 1-1 after Atlanta won on a night that their former Quarterback Michael Vick came back to face them for the first time as a starter for another team – though it took a concussion to Vick in the third quarter to swing the momentum in that game.
The Eagles are expecting Vick to return in time to face the New York Giants for their game in Philadelphia. Elsewhere this week, the Bills host the Patriots in a battle of 2-0 teams; the Bears and the Packers meet in a Chicago in a rematch of the NFC Championship game in January; the unbeaten Redskins face their divisional rivals, the Dallas Cowboys; and the Steelers get to beat the Indianapolis Colts.
(Last week 8-8; season 17-15)
Bills +8.5 over Patriots
Bengals -2.5 over 49ers
Dolphins +2.5 over Browns
Titans -6.5 over Broncos
Lions -3.5 over Vikings
Saints -3.5 over Texans
Eagles -7.5 over Giants
Jaguars +3.5 over Panthers
Chargers -14.5 over Chiefs
Raiders +3.5 over Jets
Rams +3.5 over Ravens
Buccaneers -1.5 over Falcons
Packers -3.5 over Bears
Cardinals -3.5 over Seahawks
Steelers -10.5 over Colts
Redskins +6.5 over Cowboys

Rhode Island Overtime Laws
Federal and state laws require Rhode Island employers to pay workers overtime for all hours worked over the forty-hour per week mark. Critical overtime laws include the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Rhode Island Payment of Wages Act.
Under both statutes, all workers must be paid overtime for all hours worked over the forty-hour per week mark unless the worker is exempt from the statutes. The rules for exemption are the same under the FLSA and Rhode Island equivalent. An employee is exempt if the employee is an:
1) Executive, Administrative or Professional Employee;
2) Highly paid employee;
3) Outside sales person;
4) Computer worker making a certain salary; or an
5) Apprentice.
Contact Muller Law or another employment attorney for guidance on whether your employees are exempt from the overtime requirement.
Calculation of the overtime rate can be more complicated that you might expect. For instance, where workers are paid a commission– but that commission does not constitute a majority of the employee's pay– the overtime rate is equivalent to 1.5 times the weekly pay– including commission– divided by 40 hours. Contact an accountant, payroll company, or employment law attorney like Muller Law for a complete explanation on how to calculate the overtime rate.
Further Exceptions: In addition to "exempt" employees, there are some other categories of workers who are not covered, including: certain rail, air and motor carrier employees; employees who sell cars, airplanes and boats; taxi drivers; movie theatre employees; and, delivery drivers.
Unlike the FLSA, Rhode Island statutes also require employers to provide overtime for all time worked on Sundays as well. Click here for more information on Sunday pay.
Penalties for Misclassification of workers under the Rhode Island Payment of Wages Act
New Minimum Wages In Effect for 2016
As of January 1, 2016, the minimum wage is $9.60 per hour in Rhode Island and $10.00 per hour in Massachusetts. Contact Muller Law with any questions you have regarding the impact these increases have on you or your business.

Six-year-old Retford songster records adorable version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow
A six-year-old boy from Retford has performed a heartwarming rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow as a thank you to the NHS during the coronavirus crisis.
By Ben McVay
Wednesday, 22nd April 2020, 6:00 am
Updated Wednesday, 22nd April 2020, 12:17 pm
Will Barker, who's mum Lisa says he was 'born singing', posted the video online on Thursday last week - as thousands took to their doorsteps to clap for health workers.
The adorable footage is edited to show Will in sepia as he starts singing then as the performance goes on it switches to colour - revealing the angelic six-year-old's rainbow-coloured bow tie and waistcoat.
Will's video - put together by brother Olly, 17, - is cut with shots of birds, a rainbow and a sunset while his dad Jon Barker accompanies the song on the keyboard.
Will Barker, 6, performing Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Proud mum Lisa, 45, told how the family emailed her the video while she was self-isolating in her bedroom with suspected coronavirus - cheering her up.
Lisa described the illness as 'the worst experience of my life' - unable to get out of bed with chills, sweats and a fever along with other scary symptoms such as bleeding gums while brushing teeth.
She said: "It was frightening because you're in your bedroom on your own and don't know what's going on - it was absolutely awful.
"I've been in my bedroom for two weeks - it's amazing what our NHS are doing but it's just scary at the moment."
Will with parents Jon and Lisa Barker, along with brother Olly, 17, and sister Beatrice, 15.
Worksop 'overlooked' by police during wave of vandalism and break-ins, say busin...
Lisa said she did not have the dry cough often reported with the illness however she was prescribed antibiotics by her doctor - which had no effect on the virus.
She described feeling 'more or less' back to normal now but was remaining in isolation a little longer to be sure she would not pass it on to her family.
Speaking about son Will's performance she told how the talented youngster had recorded it in just one take.
The rainbow outfit in the video is the one he wears while performing the song - one of his favourites - at talent competitions.
She said: "He loves the song anyway and we just thought it would be nice to record it as a tribute on Thursday."

Thank You Heather for this and all you do!
Horses were sent by God to help settle our country. I just cannot imagine this horrible treatment and when it will ever end. It hurts me and others to see how badly they are treated. The BLM and livestock boards ALL need to be revamped. To see them disappear as they have been rounded up by humans that have no value for animal life. Horses were NOT raised for their meat. Cows are. Ban all horse slaughter plants and the shipping of them out of this country. When the Mad Cow Disease was about you sure didn't see any cattle meat being shipped. Perhaps it would take some kind of a thing for this to happen to our horses in order to get this slaughtering of horses stopped. I don't know.. More groups and advocates needed in this challenge to stop slaughter of horses.
Sure pray SAFE makes it this time! Excellent alert. We must persist. Horse slaughter is an abomination!

In 1978, South Kingston High librarian Linda Wood decided to remake a room at the Rhode Island school into something she called the Un-Commons: a furniture-less room with cushions on the floor, album covers mounted on the walls, 10 headphone jacks, and stacks of paperbacks, from science fiction and fantasy to mystery and romance.
Teens with a free period could choose a record, sign out headphones, and just chill out. The books didn't even require a sign-out slip.
Forty years later, Wood's son Dan would have his chance to make an Un-Commons: a teen corner, tucked behind a bookshelf, at the back of the Kew Gardens Hills Library, in Queens, designed by his firm, WORKac, and opened in 2017. "The teen space was one of the reasons why they wanted to expand the library; it was the only new program they were adding," he says.

UNI to celebrate community engagement
Gassman has been working toward community engagement with UNI for three years.

The work of UNI and Cedar Falls community members is being celebrated on Thursday, April 19, during the First Annual Community Engagement Celebration Day.
Free and with no RSVP required, the event runs from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m in the Maucker Union Ballroom.
"One of the really important parts about community engagement work is that you schedule time for celebration — you recognize the efforts of students, of faculty, of staff, of community partners and the development of students and the change in the community," said Julianne Gassman, director of community engagement.
Gassman has been doing community engagement work at UNI for over three years. She and her team have been planning this event for about 10 months.
"We've been doing community engagement work across this campus for decades; it's rooted in the history of what makes UNI excellent," Gassman said. "But we've never said as a community, as a whole, let's pause and celebrate this work."
The day of celebration will showcase 71 different projects entered in eight different categories, ranging from international service initiatives to local research projects.
Categories are divided by the origin of each project: coursework, student organizations, community research, and individual students and staff or faculty commitment to service. Two categories, social justice and sustainability and environmental awareness, are theme-based. There will also be a people's choice award, decided by attendees' votes.
"We originally expected and would [have been] happy with about 40 projects being showcased, and we're at 71," Gassman said. "So we are just overwhelmed with the excitement across campus for people to share their work."
The first two hours of the day are a time for spectators and judges to browse through the different projects.
"There are about 45 judges," Gassman said. "We reached out to members in our community and across campus."
Prominent figures present will include the mayor of Cedar Falls, the superintendent of the Cedar Falls school district, members of the UNI administration and all of UNI's college deans.
Projects by student organizations range from Puerto Rico hurricane relief and Art for El Salvador to a Healthy Kids Day partnership with the YMCA. Research projects include playground safety, immigrant experiences with Waterloo housing and youth in the community.
Gassman emphasized the all-inclusive nature of the celebration.
"This is not about saying, that's worthy of showcasing and celebration, but that isn't — but to really lift up all sorts of varieties of projects, from individuals to groups, from students to faculty and staff," Gassman said.
For projects that do not fit into any other categories, students were able to enter in the individual category. One such project is Cedar Valley's Little Free Pantries — similar to the Little Free Library initiative — where people can take or donate food items in designated areas around their communities.
The last hour of Community Engagement Celebration Day features a program. In addition to revealing winners in each project category, the program will include a performance by the Spectrum Project and the release of the Office of Community Engagement's civic action plan.
Finally, recipients of the Veridian Credit Union Community Engagement Fellowship Grant and the Koob Fund for Student Community Engagement will be recognized.
Encouraging students to attend, Gassman said: "Come and think about how you can be engaged and how you can take an active role in your learning and development," Gassman said. "Research indicates that all of the ways we're showcasing work on Thursday is high-impact, high quality, and student learning is significantly better in these scenarios than in a traditional lecture classroom style."

Firstly, for non UK readers, cream-crackered is slang for… erm… very tired, exhausted, wrecked… that kind of thing. School visits do that. They are also decidedly lovely, for many reasons. I've done a few now, but this week's visit, in celebration of World Book Day, at William Levick Primary School in Dronfield, was only the second full-day one I've done. They are tiring, those little ones. They bombard you with questions and tell you all about their friend who has a dog… no, it's not a dog, it's a cat… actually, it's a fish!!! I kid you not! They tell you their mum is poorly and then cry because they miss her. You are a recepticle for whatever happens to be going on their heads at the time.
Questions I would rather have not been asked included: How much money do you get for a book? (Not telling) Are you rich? (No!) Were you bullied (Errr….) … actually, I did answer this one as honestly as I could, although, I confess, it caught me out good and proper! The most original question, and one I hadn't been asked before (apart from the bullying one) was: Who is your best friend? I have two – they know who they are!
When I do these visits I have my box of tricks. I suspect that this may change over time. At the moment, my essentials are: my books, Ruby and Grub pictures to colour in, writing frames, puppets, example illustrations – before and afters from Grub's Pups, laminate pictures, blue tac, a pen, camera, a dummy book – this is an early one that comes from the publisher before the book goes to print and well before final proof stage, just to demonstrate the layout etc and make sure the pictures and text match.
visit motto. This time, I forgot blue tac – no big deal. I forgot to hand out the puppets to the foundation children until a little voice piped up: "Where are our puppets?" Actually, it was more like a big voice screeching: "WHERE ARE OUR PUPPETS?!!!!!" I made a complete pig's ear of the interactive whiteboard which did odd things – odd and unexpected things that made my eyes go googly. Fortunately, Miss Teacher came to the rescue, as did the children, who yelled at me from the floor as if I was some sort of I.T numpty… which I am!
Highlights of the day… while I was waiting with a class of year 2 children for the teacher to gather the year 3 children, a little boy called Thomas said: "Abi, shall we sing to you?" They then proceded to chat amongst themselves, decide on a song and sang it to me. It was a round robin of London's burning. I'm not exactly sure I heard very much of it… I was too busy trying not to cry! And a little girl coloured her Ruby and Grub picture, then said she had done it for me… *sniff!* And the other highlight is the same as it always is – the knowledge that, as a writer, you can share your stories and experiences with young minds, and watch their little faces as they listen ever so carefully and imagine just what being a 'real' writer is like.
Sounds like you had a great time. I don't wrtie for children that age, but I agreed to go and talk to my son's year one class about being a writer and making up stories. I had good fun but it's a boys only school so, as you can imagine, some of them degenerated into stories about 'poo' 'wee' and 'bums'. I had to try to steer them away from that!
That was, of course, supposed to say 'write' not wrtie. I definitely don't wrtie for children. Not of any age.
I'm glad you did that typo because for some reason, whenever I leave a comment on your posts, a wee typo slips in! Feel much better now 😉 Yes, it is a lot of fun and I can imagine the level of boy humour – bet you had to try not to laugh!
I agree – children are simply wonderful. I think everyone should spend a day with them every now and then; they bring us up against the things that are really important at that very moment.
And then raise a glass to our teachers. Who do the most important job in the world.
I completely agree Jo. And yes, I have a whole new level of respect for primary teachers now. Those kiddies can be exhausting!
It must be good to get a dose of real word reality and have some contact with your readership, or at least your potential readership. I think those of us who try to create something special have the hope that it will be get to be treasured by those who digest it. But in reality, like everything that is digested, it is soon forgotten and a hungry mind is on to the next thing to consume. The good thing about children is that that they make no presence and say exactly what they think – you know where you stand with them.
I work a lot with children with my Sumo wrestling party business. I understand, as I'm sure every teacher does, that a prerequisite to teaching is an understanding of crowd control. I learned my crowd control as front man of a rock band. In fact one of my best memories of working in schools was the day I went back into my old secondary school and played a short rock set for assembly. What a trip! The tables were turned: The kids were sitting cross legged on the floor but this time I was on the stage. It was a delight to see the panic on the teachers' faces when I got the kids on their feet and it turned into a real gig! It was a wild time and a day I'm sure many of the kids will always remember (for all the wrong reasons).
Great post, Abi. I agree that the questions they ask are often, er, surprising. I think they judge us as much by how we answer them respectfully as what we've written. The one supports the other and gets them on board. I have always asked sheepishly for a flip chart instead of using the white board. They never mind and it helps me to not have my back fully turned on the kids.
Sorry, Abi, I see the supplied link is to a different site of mine. Should be this one to make sense! Don't know how that happened!
I think you're right – it is important that we answer honestly and fully. Flip chart is a good idea. I am currently re-assessing what I plan to do in schools, so I may try this. It might lend itself better to some of the things I do, though in this instance it was for a powerpoint presentation, so interactive whiteboard was a must! Glad you enjoyed the post Eleanor and thanks for commenting.
Ah! What a lovely response Martin and lovely to hear your stories too. The 'gig' sounds ace! I can just imagine how that went down – bet the kids loved it. Back in my school days (way too long ago!) we didn't have writers visit our schools, it just wasn't done. I really hope that children do take away these experiences and that they realise that a 'job' can be fascinating, inspiring and creative. If just one child goes away thinking that they would like to be a writer, or enjoys reading or writing more as a result of these types of visits, then I think that's a success story!
Ah, sounds like you had a wonderful day! So glad it went well. I'd have been cream-crackered too!
Sounds like such fun — wish I could've been a fly on the wall to see! The little girl coloring the picture for you is so sweet; I'd have *sniffed* too!
Emma – it was a wonderful day. No idea how primary teachers do it day in, day out though.
Julia – it was great fun. The picture and the song were the icing on the cake!
That sounds rather like going back to being a teacher to me. I loved the kids but I always came away from the classroom completely drained. In the nicest possible way they take so much from you that there's very little left by the time you're finished. It's so rewarding though, isn't it.
Yes Ros, you're so right. It is wonderfully rewarding, but really, for exactly the reasons you said, completely exhausting. I think I have the best of both worlds in that I can just go in and do my bit now and again, which is lovely!

Lala Mustafa Paşa Mosque (St Nicholas Cathedral)
The cathedral of St. Nicholas / Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque is the largest medieval building in Famagusta and was commenced in 1300 AD. It must be noted that the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages often took more than 100 years to complete, so was St. Nicholas was completed about 1400.
The Gothic style of architecture closely resembles closely the great cathedral of Rheims in Paris, France.
Similarly, St. Sophia Cathedral in Nicosia (now Selimiye Mosque) and Bellapais Abbey all seem to be the work of French architect, and this is understandable when one realises that the Kings of Cyprus from 1190 to 1489 were all of the French Lusignan dynasty who, at least in their churches, "Frenchified" Cyprus.
The main facade of the building is the west front and this is shown in the picture.
There are three large gabled and canopied doorways as can be seen in the picture, the vast amount of carved stone work being very impressive.
Above the main central door is a large wheel window set in decorative tracery, a common feature of French cathedrals and known as a rose window. There is a similar rose window in the refectory hall at the Bellapais Abbey.
The upper parts of the two towers suffered damage during the Ottoman bombardment of 1571 and when the Ottoman Turks captured the town from the Venetians, the cathedral was converted into a Mosque and a minaret was added.
The full name of the building today is the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque. In accordance with Muslim religion all images of the human form in stone, fresco, or in stained glass windows were removed or plastered over. However, all aspects of the Gothic tracery have been preserved. the canopied doorways of the west front are typical of French cathedrals.
No doubt the niches on either side of the porch contained stone statues of Biblical saints as in Notre Dame, Paris. This style of ecclesiastical architecture is known as the "Decorative Period".
The interior is of course a Muslim prayer hall, the floor being covered with carpets, and all visitors must go round with the Imam. The main hall in a church is known as the nave, and here the Lusignans were crowned as kings of Cyprus.
Tradition claims that they also received the crown of Jerusalem, as by about 1350 the Crusaders had failed to take Palestine and so these French knights came to Cyprus to set up a Jerusalem monarchy in exile!
The lancet windows were probably decorated with stained glass but it was unsafe to have wide windows as Cyprus suffers from severe earthquakes. Also because of this, the nave had to be strengthened with flying buttresses.
In 1571, altars and tombs were swept away and all frescoes were plastered over but the guide will show visitors a few medieval tombs that have survived, in the north aisle.

The event, split across stores at Regent St, Selfridges (London and Manchester), Sloane Sq and Heathrow, offered customers complimentary floral customisation on their leather accessories. As well as some free goodies, a glass of bubbly and gorgeous floral biscuits.


Davide Lottieri (President of Campus Bio-Medico SpA): We are very happy about the two days of International Workshop here at Campus Bio-Medico. It's been a two-day intense workshop with seven leading architectural firms from all over the world, from all continents. We are very delighted because in two days they have had the chance to know and appreciate our passion, the passion of the campus staff… they have met many professors and students. Architects have visited the spaces where the daily life of the University unfolds, so they've had a better understanding of our (work) philosophy. Now, I think they have all the elements to design the future spaces for the growth and development of our University. I am also happy that we have provided a lot of information during these two days and many visits to the places, inside and outside the current buildings… but also cultural insights on the development of University in the future, reflections on the forthcoming technologies, a meeting with local institutions… and therefore it's been a fruitful gathering. I am pleased because competition participants have appreciated the good work we have done, the respect of deadlines and consequently the respect for everyone's work… I think that the meaning of these days has been correctly understood. And in the end the architects have caught something, at least many among them have commented that there's a family-like feeling, something personal that exceeds the institutional aspect, and, I think, this is a good point. They have understood that we want to promote an environment which is institutional/formal but goes beyond it in favour of interpersonal relations between people…that is the true wealth of Campus Bio-Medico University.
