We Bought a Zoo

All movies are "manipulative" in the sense that they're trying to make us feel a certain way. The good ones do it artfully, leading us where they want us to go without it being obvious that we're being led. Some filmmakers are better than others at hiding the strings. Then there's Cameron Crowe, whose attitude with "We Bought a Zoo" seems to be that he doesn't care if we see exactly what he's doing every step of the way, because the movie's charm will win us over.
He's mostly right. There's plenty of warmth and humor in "We Bought a Zoo," a congenial family film populated with many likable actors and earnestly devoted to pleasantness. But the movie also has the distinction of being based on a true story yet coming across as completely fake, an achievement that requires some seriously ungraceful writing and direction.
This is indeed the story of some people who bought a zoo. (No metaphors here!) Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon), a thrill-seeking journalist and recent widower, is looking for a change of scenery for himself and his children, 14-year-old Dylan (Colin Ford) and 7-year-old Rosie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones). Only six months have passed since their mother's death, and they have responded in the usual manner of movie characters, i.e., the little girl is sweetly mournful and the teenage boy is a sullen bastard. They find a nice old house on a 14-acre parcel of land that is perfect except for one thing: IT'S HAUNTED!!
No, just kidding, it's a zoo. It closed to the public a couple years ago, but the animals are still there, being tended by a small staff that includes perky young Kelly (Scarlett Johansson), drunken Scottish MacCready (Angus Macfadyen), barely-gets-any-lines-and-has-to-walk-around-with-a-monkey-on-his-shoulder-all-the-time Robin (Patrick Fugit), and somebody's 13-year-old cousin Lily (Elle Fanning). The owner has stipulated that whoever buys the property must take the animals, too, and can't ship them off to other zoos or glue factories or whatever. Benjamin loves the house, isn't so sure about the zoo thing. But hey, look at the way Rosie lights up around those peacocks! They make her happy! We'd better buy this zoo!
5/31/2011: Other Films in the 'We Bought a…' Series
It doesn't matter what Dylan thinks, but for the record, he's not happy about leaving the city and his friends and moving to a house in the boonies where he'll have to help take care of wild animals.
A familiar procession of events follows. There are mishaps and hijinks with the animals, tough decisions to make about an elderly tiger, comical setbacks related to Benjamin's inexperience, skeptical glances from the professional staff. Benjamin's brother, Duncan (Thomas Haden Church), urges him to cut his losses and get out now, before he's bankrupt. Walter Ferris (John Michael Higgins), a snippy guy from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, comes around to make inspections, which the zoo must pass before it can reopen to the public. MacCready HATES Ferris so much that he has to be locked in a closet when Ferris shows up, lest he murder him. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that dopey shenanigans like that didn't happen in real life.
The screenplay was written by Aline Brosh McKenna, whose scripts for "27 Dresses," "Morning Glory," and "I Don't Know How She Does It" suggest that she is not familiar with the way actual human beings function (to put it tactfully), or that she's simply a bad writer (to put it another way). Crowe revised McKenna's work and shares screenplay credit with her, and I don't know who's responsible for which specific trite elements like the deus ex machina plot devices (plural) or the convenient quasi-romances between Dylan and Lily and Benjamin and Kelly. Doesn't matter who wrote the cliches: Crowe filmed 'em, unconcerned at how transparent they would seem.
As a result of this ham-fisted Hallmark attitude, the movie's emotional moments don't register very strongly. When we do feel a warm fuzzy in the heart or a lump in the throat, we also see everything Crowe did to put it there. How un-subtle is he? In a scene where everyone's sad because it's raining, the soundtrack plays a somber old Randy Newman song called … "I Think It's Going to Rain Today." Yeesh.

But we only really care about the main 4 browsers when we use experimental CSS.
it's kinda tedious to search for what you want.
…but that can become very tedious (often for me… distracting) and chances are you will forget that a property needs prefixing or possibly that it doesn't anymore and you're wasting your time by adding the prefixes. It's a pain and lucky for us, some really smart people have figured out ways to kill the pain.
There are lots of better ways to automate the vendor prefixes – one of which is Gulp which I will give a serious tutorial on later because I think everyone should know what Gulp is and use it for anything more complicated than a one-page web project.
So the method I want to show you is using the command line to run PostCSS and its autoprefixer plugin.
Installing the package is super easy. We will use Node.js and NPM to get the stuff but first we have to install them.
We just made sure that 1. Homebrew was up to date, 2. Ensured our Homebrew installation is working properly and 3. Installed Node.js which installs the Node Package Manager (NPM) along with it.
and now we have Node.js and the Node Package Manager installed on your mac.
On Windows, you just need to go to nodejs.org and download the installer for your version of Windows, then run the installer. After the installer is complete you can search for "CMD" and you will find a result titled Node.js command prompt and that is the shell you want to use for the rest of thes steps in this tutorial.
After you confirm the node installation by running $ node -v in the Node.js Command Prompt you are good to go.
Find the command or package for your distribution here and simply run it. LOL.
Honestly, the hard work is all over. We will install PostCSS and the Autoprefixer plugin with a single terminal command globally on your system.
Let's process a CSS file.
Running "$ git status" shows the new directory added and then you see I just do a quick directory list and there is the new CSS file. Note it has the same file name as the processed file. This is good for testing but if you are using Gulp you would have a 'build/' or 'dist/' directory anyway.
So let's see what the autoprefixer did. I will put up a more drastic comparison later but we can see the box-shadow prefixes were stripped and the flexbox prefixes were added.
but you can see the flexbox prefixes added.
Again, I will post a more drastic change and that 'git diff' later but as you can see, from now on I can add or remove the prefixes in all my CSS files anywhere on my system simply by going to that directory in terminal and running the postcss autoprefixer command. Pretty helpful on a multi-file project with lots of CSS.
Here you can see several changes made automatically.
There's much more you can do to make your builds more efficient, compliant and clean with npm packages and you can run them all at once with Gulp or Grunt but we will get into that later.
Feel free to ask any questions or leave feedback. I know this is beginner stuff but I think sometimes these tools are intimidating so I wanted a quick lesson that made us install Node and get into Terminal again.

Decibel Q&A: Shane Baker of Alaric
June 6, 2016 Justin Norton
Featured, Interviews Alaric, death rock, interview, Neurot Recordings, Q and A, Shane Baker.
"The world's getting smaller and smaller/I can't see nowhere to go," vocalist Shane Baker says on "The Shrinking World," a song on Alaric's captivating new record End Of Mirrors. From Baker's perspective as a lifelong Bay Area resident, the world is definitely getting smaller; the tech economy is forcing out artists and long-term residents and bringing a stifling conformity to a region once known for eccentricity.
Nonetheless, Baker and his bandmates have managed to create special music even if their home – a region that also produced Metallica and Neurosis – is no longer the same nexus of underground creativity that it was for decades. End Of Mirrors combines Alaric's early Neurosis education with Goth/death rock hallmarks like Christian Death and Bauhaus to create a sad but immersive listening experience and administer a needed shot of melancholy to the monochromatic rage of the underground. Baker talked to Decibel about death rock, learning to sing and End Of Mirrors. Last week, we hosted the premiere of Alaric's new video for "Adore" — if you haven't seen it make sure to check it out.
Decibel: Is it safe to say you all came from the Bay Area metal scene? Alaric has such an interesting approach– how did you find each other?
Baker: We've all known each other from the scene for a long time. I've known our drummer Jason (Willer) since high school – he's a little bit younger. He had a band with our bass player Rick (Jacobus). We all grew up on Gilman Street seeing bands like Neurosis and all the hardcore bands that came through town. I'd say Jason put the band together. He was in Europe and came back to the US and had an idea for a dark band inspired by the heavy stuff we grew up with and some British anarcho stuff. Jason approached me to sing and we tested some guitar players and Russ (Kent's) name kept coming up because of his connection to Noothgrush. We knew he was into this type of music. He started playing the music Rick had written and had all sorts of ideas. We started jamming in a practice space and it worked out.
Did you all know you had a common interest in artists like Christian Death and Bauhaus? Did you start with that common language or did that develop as you played together?
That was the starting point. We all knew we liked that stuff and we wanted to see what we could do with this music. Our music has never been faithful to stuff like that but we've definitely used it as a jumping-off point. We're doing this music in 2016; we're not trying to do a throwback, we're trying to do something new with it and bring our own experiences to it.
What do you think it is about that music that is timeless? A lot of that music has never grown old. In many ways, you take it another step.
There are certain places you can only get to from that path. People associate this music with the 80s but that's really only when it poked its head up into the commercial world. It's not like this music ever went away; sometimes people pay attention and sometimes they don't. What I love about the music it that it creates this other world and it's super evocative and eccentric and strange.
It also conveys emotions like loss and regret and brings them to life in a way a lot of underground music can't.
I agree. These are things everyone goes through and it's a beautiful thing when you can bring it out into the world and express it. I always like that you can see how far down you can go with the music – just how dark can it be? If you look at a painting and it's all blacks and grays and just a bit of red you realize you can express so much with just those colors. Limiting your palate can foster creativity and you can explore everything inside until it becomes something bigger.
It's like musicians limiting themselves to a certain scale – it opens a whole world by setting strict limits.
Right. We do limit ourselves to a set of dark colors but inside that there is everything in the world. It's all there — love and despair, the future and the past. It's fractal.
There was a fair amount of time between the split with Atriarch and End Of Mirrors – was that just life getting in the way?
It was just life. We actually did break up for about a year. I went through a divorce. We talked to the guys from Neurosis about this record dating back to the New Year's Eve shows in 2014. We probably had half of it written and a bunch of riffs in the can and then all sorts of shit hit the fan. We were supposed to play a show with Dispirit and Russ ended up in emergency surgery for appendicitis and I was in the hospital because of flu. Jason's house burned down. We did tour in Europe for a few weeks. But ultimately it was just life, other bands and a series of calamities we managed to survive.
All of Alaric's music requires vocal chops – singing. Had you done this in previous projects or did you have to grow?
My first band was a hardcore band called Dead and Gone. It was very growly and not melodic like I am singing now. I've done some singing like this in a band called Night After Night. We recorded a little but it never got released. I wanted to come to this project with some melody because I don't hear much of that in the underground. It helps that all of this music is in a range that works for me (laughs). I definitely had to step up my game and get better but so has the rest of the band. We always try to write with our strengths in mind.
My entry point to Alaric was split you did with Atriarch a few years ago. I always come back to the song "Weep" – it makes me feel an intense sadness. What kind of music puts you in that mindset?
With that song we definitely wanted to evoke a certain feeling. When we were doing that record I was listening to early Pink Floyd and picking up on the street sadness, the melancholy of the early psychedelic scene. The Cure's Disintegration album is a huge touch point for me. I think of our music as almost a combination of these things: a soaring melodic guitar and heartbeat drums and realistic lyrics. There's nothing abstract or poetic — it's more universal. Doing emotional music can be exhausting because it keeps bringing you back to these places over and over again but I love it because it's a great catharsis. It lets people know that whatever they are feeling it's something other people have, too.
I've always appreciated that you give listeners enough space to get lost in the moment and whatever they are feeling.
I really love that about this bad – there are dynamics that I've never done before. When you are a singer you are almost urged to sing over everything so you have something to do. With us, there is a back-and-forth between the guitars and the vocals and it leaves room. When I am writing lyrics it's always a process of subtraction. I start with way too much stuff and wind up taking stuff out until it's the bare essentials. (For example) we started writing "Adore" and "Wreckage" at the same time. I ended up using some of the same turns of phrase almost like it was the same song.
You've mentioned the band's progression before – how did you want to progress on End Of Mirrors?
I wanted to integrate the old approach from our first album along with the approach of the split. The three songs on the split really came tougher for us. They almost have the same beat, tempo, and vibe. Ultimately, it was just the next group of songs we wrote. We have hours of tapes and parts that we'll end of harvesting for whatever we do next. Ultimately, it's just us trying to be more affecting and more real.

Q: How do I switch to Linux Terminal from Xorg via XF86Switch_VT_1 (control+alt+f1) with USB n-key rollover keyboard? I got this fancy new USB keyboard with n-key rollover for the holidays.  The one thing that has been bugging me is that I can no longer get to the virtual keyboards from X11/Xorg with this keyboard.  With both old and new keyboards plugged in at the same time, I can tell that I can still use the old keyboard to switch to the terminal just fine.  Also, I can use xev to verify that the XF86Switch_VT_1 keysym is being generated.  (see below).
  From what I've read elsewhere, the problem comes from the fact that the keyboard has to pretend it is multiple keyboards on USB because the USB standard only allows 6-key rollover per keyboard.
Is there any known workarounds to get this to work?
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x29e, subw 0x0, time 5626057, (675,-26), root:(679,936),
    state 0xc, keycode 67 (keysym 0x1008fe01, XF86Switch_VT_1), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

A: I have DELL Laptop with same problem
Try this:
Ctrl + alt + [n] + F1

A: XKB workaround
Since your F# keys are coming across on a different logical device than the Ctrl+Alt keys, altering your XKB layout to generate those keysyms on some of your regular keys might be a reasonable workaround.  Test keys with evdev to make sure they're on the same input; the example below assumes the number keys will be.  Caveats to consider:

*

*xkbcomp will not work under Wayland, and GNOME-based desktop environments may reset keyboard settings, so use a basic window manager for testing.  If this solution works, it can be rewritten as an XKB option or layout variant,  placed into the system XKB database, and configured by whatever means your DE provides.

*You may be able to use ckbcomp to generate a console keymap with these changes, or you may find the console's Ctrl+F2 functions properly so modifications are unneeded.  Or you may need to get friendly with loadkeys.

*Some applications may already define hotkeys such as Ctrl+Alt+2; I don't know how they might interact with this layout.
Given all these factors, this is definitely an ugly hack.  Fixing the issue at a lower layer (eg, by evdev merging the two inputs into one before acting on them) would be preferable.

First, generate a basic keymap, with setxkbmap -print; then we'll edit this file and add overrides to it, and finally load the altered keymap with xkbcomp [file] $DISPLAY:
$ setxkbmap -print > mykeymap.xkb
xkb_keymap {
    xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
    xkb_types     { include "complete"  };
    xkb_compat    { include "complete"  };
    xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us(altgr-intl)+inet(evdev)" };
    xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

Generate a full keymap with xkbcomp to find the original symbols in your layout.  Don't worry too much if symbols are a little different in your layout; as long as they are four-level or fewer this should work.
$ xkbcomp $DISPLAY - > origkeymap.xkb
#         (from)  (to)

// the # keys on a typical PC keyboard are AE01,AE02,...,AE09,AE10
// in the xkb_symbols section you'll find these:
    key <AE01> {
        type= "FOUR_LEVEL",
        symbols[Group1]= [ 1, exclam, onesuperior, exclamdown ]
    };

Now edit mykeymap.xkb and place the overrides we need into it:
// Attempting to place XF86Switch_VT_N keysyms on 1-0.
//
// starting point: setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-intl -option '' -print
// load this file: xkbcomp mykeymap.xkb $DISPLAY
xkb_keymap {
    xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
    xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
    xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
    xkb_symbols   {
        include "pc"
        include "us(altgr-intl)"
        include "inet(evdev)"

        // redefine numeric keys
        key <AE01> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 1, exclam, onesuperior, exclamdown, XF86Switch_VT_1 ]
        };
        key <AE02> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 2, at, twosuperior, dead_doubleacute, XF86Switch_VT_2 ]
        };
        key <AE03> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 3, numbersign, threesuperior, dead_macron, XF86Switch_VT_3 ]
        };
        key <AE04> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 4, dollar, currency, sterling, XF86Switch_VT_4 ]
        };
        key <AE05> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 5, percent, EuroSign, dead_cedilla, XF86Switch_VT_5 ]
        };
        key <AE06> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 6, asciicircum, dead_circumflex, onequarter, XF86Switch_VT_6 ]
        };
        key <AE07> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 7, ampersand, dead_horn, onehalf, XF86Switch_VT_7 ]
        };
        key <AE08> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 8, asterisk, dead_ogonek, threequarters, XF86Switch_VT_8 ]
        };
        key <AE09> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 9, parenleft, leftsinglequotemark, dead_breve, XF86Switch_VT_9 ]
        };
        key <AE10> {
            type= "CTRL+ALT",
            symbols[Group1]= [ 0, parenright, rightsinglequotemark, dead_abovering, XF86Switch_VT_10 ]
        };

    };
    xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

Now you can load this file and test the keys:
# load keymap for all keyboards
$ xkbcomp mykeymap.xkb $DISPLAY

# load only on device id=# (see `xinput -list`)
$ xkbcomp -i # mykeymap.xkb $DISPLAY

This won't change the console keymap, so switching back may require that other keyboard.
If testing shows that these keys work, and aren't trampling other uses of those key combinations, you can make this permanent by your favorite XKB modification method.

We all know what inflation is, but not many of us consider it when making investments. Inflation, or the general rise in price level, can have a significant impact on your return. It won't reduce your returns in absolute terms, rather lower your real returns. For instance, if you earned a return of 8%, but the inflation rate is 3%, then your real return is just 5%. So, it is important that you always keep in mind the inflation rate when making investments. One good way to beat inflation is to invest in an inflation protected fund. Detailed below are the top ten inflation protected mutual funds on the basis of return.

Citronella is widely used as a non-toxic insect repellent. It also has antifungal properties and research suggests it is calming to dogs who bark too much. It is often added to canine shampoo. The oil comes from mana grass, originally found in Sri Lanka but varieties of it are also grown in Indonesia. It has been cultivated widely in many warm parts of the world, especially where there are mosquitoes. There are chemical differences in the varieties, the Sri Lankan being preferred for mosquito repellent candles and sprays for use on skin and apparel as well as diffusing for insect and odor control indoors and outdoors. The Javanese variety is higher citronellal and geraniol and is generally preferred by the perfumery industry.
Citronella oil has been found effective mainly against the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the one responsible for Chikungunya, dengue fever, and yellow fever. Though originally from Africa, the mosquito is found practically everywhere in the world.
Chikungunya is epidemic at this time. It is a very serious disease, characterized usually by an acute stage in which there is high fever and then a chronic stage in which there is lethargy and joint pain that lasts for months or years. One human carrier can infect thousands of others.
Dengue fever is a hemorrhagic fever that is also serious and pervasive. The WHO says 2.5 million people are at risk and there are 50 million cases annually. It starts usually with a splitting headache and rash, petechiae, and goes into the muscles and joints. The virus is related to the Hepatitis C virus and has been implicated in liver cancers. Once contracted, herbs may help reduce complications and inflammation. In Brazil, cat's claw is the herb of choice.
Yellow fever gets its name from the jaundice that appears on the second or third day after symptoms manifest. Though usually milder than Chikungunya and dengue fever, the virus replicates and spreads via the lymphatic system and thence to vital organs. It is viral and potentially fatal since it may cause necrosis, hemorrhaging through the skin, or toxic shock.
We actually do not need to go on and on. What we need to realize is that, according to a report I heard on cable television years ago, malaria — just one disease transmitted by mosquitoes — has been responsible for the deaths of two-thirds of all people who ever lived on this Planet. In short, underestimating the potential severity of a mosquito bite is not just unwise, it is foolish. Preventing bites through taking adequate precautionary measures is, however, wise. Common sense dictates having mosquito netting or screens while using some sort of repellent when outside in mosquito-infested areas. Unfortunately, in today's world, this includes urban as well as rural areas, tropical and temperate climatic zones, and humid as well as dry places.
Citronella oil comes from a grass that is not particularly relished so cattle starve when attempts are made to introduce cattle to the grass. The leaves are a bit waxy but release the aroma when broken. In short, growing the grass does not really prevent mosquitoes from lurking. It is necessary to distill the leaves to capture the oil. Then, the oil can be used in luau torches or candles. It can also be misted or diffused, placed in roll on or spray bottles and applied to the skin or clothing, or added to body lotions or hair conditions to give a bit of extra power to the products. If there are mosquitoes in the air, it is often necessary to reapply the oil every 20-30 minutes because, being volatile, it dissipates quickly.
Uncaria tomentosa is a rain forest herb with demonstrated antiinflammatory properties. It is therefore often used for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Preliminary studies suggest that cat's claw slows tumor growth and that it enhances immunity. It is safe in the recommended doses; side effects are usually associated with possible allergic reactions to plants in the Rubiaceae family.
"Oil of Citronella is considered so unlikely to cause harmful effects that some citronella products are exempt from the usual regulation."
"Repels various specific insects including mosquitoes, black flies, fleas, and ticks."


Whether you are crazy about temples, interested in only a few, or maybe just want to try some crispy, buggy street food, Siem Reap has exactly what you are looking for. An experience completely unique to Cambodia, it's nearly impossible to walk amongst these marvels of human ability & not feel moved. It's a small piece of beauty & emotion that you will carry with you long after you leave.
People often say a place can have a feeling, a vibe to it, whether good or bad, that radiates from it. It is as if the land is trying to tell its story for the visitor, explain what has happened in the past. For me, that is what best describes Cambodia. Underneath the emerging, bustling cities & obvious strides of growth in the last decades, you can still feel a part of the country that hasn't healed, feels restless & not yet at peace.

Ajaokuta Steel Complex to create additional 500,000 jobs for youths – Buhari
by Nusaiba Abdul'aziz with Agency report 4 weeks ago
written by Nusaiba Abdul'aziz with Agency report 4 weeks ago 0 comment 4 minutes read
President Muhammadu Buhari, in the course of the week, said the Ajaokuta Steel Complex would provide 500,000 estimated jobs for Nigerian youths.
The president revealed this during his one-day state visit to Kogi on Thursday.
He also spoke of the determination of his administration to position Kogi as an industrial hub as well as a solid mineral power base.
He explained how the Federal Government achieved the resolution of all legal entanglements that had bogged down the progress of the Ajaokuta Steel Complex.
According to him, the project stands to benefit the people of the state immensely.
The president had earlier hosted the leadership of the FCT and representatives of the FCT community, who paid him Christmas homage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, at the beginning of the week.
During the Christmas homage, Buhari lauded the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Mohammed Bello for exhibiting the virtues of transparency, honesty and integrity while managing the affairs of the FCT.
According to the Nigerian leader, he deliberately appointed Bello as FCT minister, and refused to redeploy him because of his good character.
He said Bello had proven to be a better manager of both financial and human resources.
Buhari also told his guests that he would not be hanging around the FCT, after May 29, 2023, in order not to meddle in the affairs of the office of his successor.
He reiterated that he would return to Daura, Katsina State, his hometown, at the end of his tenure.
According to him, his decision not to make Abuja a permanent abode is to allow his successor a free hand to operate and run the affairs of government.
The president also told members of the FCT community that he had not built a new house in Daura or anywhere and hoped to live in his same house of many years.
The president also inaugurated the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) newly acquired Estate in Idu-Karmo, Abuja, on Wednesday.
At the event, Buhari said the befitting accommodation would enhance productivity and coordination of activities of staffers of the agency in view of the increasing the number of personnel to face new challenges and responsibilities
He also used the opportunity to charge security agencies that would be engaged with various support services in the 2023 general elections to maintain a high sense of professionalism.
Buhari urged the agencies to handle the distribution and monitoring of classified materials and other logistics ''professionally and in accordance with Standing Operation Procedures.''
While reiterating his earlier directive to security agencies to remain apolitical, the president said they must desist from behaviour that could bring disrepute to their organisations and the country ''by compromising the democratic process.''
On Wednesday, the Nigerian leader heaped praises on the newly promoted Commander, Brigade of Guards, Maj.-Gen. Mohammed Usman.
He described him as an outstanding officer who was serving the nation with great zeal.
The president, assisted by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya and the wife of the Commander, Dr Rekiya Usman, decorated the officer with the rank of Major-General.
Speaking shortly after the ceremony in the Presidential Villa, the president recalled his tumultuous military career marked with coups, counter-coups and detention.
He described Usman as a very lucky officer to have risen to the height of his military career with distinction and without hiccups.
The president also expressed sadness over the passing of Prof. George Obiozor, the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, worldwide.
He extended heartfelt condolences to Obiozor's family, the government and people of Imo as well as Ndigbo, at home and in Diaspora.
The president said that the contributions of the unique leader and strong proponent of peace and a stable polity, who also held other strategic public positions, would never be forgotten.
On Friday, Buhari hosted the Senate President, Dr Ahmed Lawan at the State House, Abuja.
Lawan, who spoke to State House correspondents at the end of the meeting revealed that the president would sign the 2023 appropriation bill on Tuesday.
Lawan said that he discussed some national issues with Buhari, including the president's recent additional loan request, the legislature's support to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the general elections and the 2023 Appropriation Bill.
Buhari had on Saturday paid tribute to late Pope Benedict XVI who was greatly admired globally for his selfless leadership and renowned learning as a theologian.
He commiserated with Pope Francis, the Catholic Church in Nigeria and around the world, as well as all Christian faithful mourning the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
He also lauded the deceased for his dedication to advance inter-faith dialogue and peace.
According to Buhari, the late Pontiff will be remembered as a true servant of God.
The president concluded the week under review with his administration's last New Year message released by his media aide, Malam Garba Shehu in Abuja on Saturday.
He reassured Nigerians that under his watch, their collective will and votes in the 2023 general elections would be fulfilled.
Buhari thanked the almighty God who saw Nigerians through the year 2022 and had given them the opportunity to see another New Year.
"It as an opportunity to reflect on the past year, reposition, and move forward in the new year," Buhari said. (NAN)

Four years ago this month, we started pouring lip balms. Peppermint flavored, without labels, using the same recipe we use today. We packaged them up and shipped them to a family friend, who was in need of an extra soothing, natural lip balm during his chemotherapy. Much to our surprise and delight, our lip balms were a hit - not only with our friend (who beat his cancer!), but his family and the hospital staff. It was then we realized we should start a business, making kissable, hydrating lip balms in an array of fun flavors.
Sitting with my daughters, trying to figure out a business name, my oldest said "They're natural and they're delightful. What about Delight Naturals?" I loved her idea so much and that weekend, Delight Naturals was born. The name reminds me every day of our mission to create products that are made from natural ingredients that make our customers happy.
As the years have gone by, Delight Naturals has grown and thrived, adding new products and reaching our customers in fun new ways. But we were always slowed down by still being a "hobby business." I was still working full time hours at my day job, only able to devote some of my nights and weekends to my passion project. I leaned on my family and friends (the "we" of Delight Naturals) to help me pour, label and package products with me. I would jokingly say that any day I'd be successful enough to work full time at Delight.
Then for my own birthday this year, I got more than I could have ever asked for when I entered a partnership with an investor (and one of my best friends), Dan. This partnership allows me to work at Delight Naturals full time, with the unlimited ability to grow. Today is my first day as a full time employee within in my own small business and there's no better way to celebrate our fourth year than by putting everything we can into Delight Naturals. While I'll still lean on my family and friends for help, that's only because wrapping lip balms is the best way to spend a Friday night!

Don't assume you can talk your way out of a DUI charge by simply appearing in court like you were fighting to get out from paying a traffic ticket. The laws pertaining to DUI cases are very complex and the punishments are very severe, more the reason to have a skilled criminal lawyer fighting on your behalf.
These are a few of the benefits of hiring a nyc criminal lawyer to help convince the judge that the charges should be reduced or the case dismissed.
Although the arresting officer in your DUI case has the numbers from the testing equipment to show you were driving while impaired, this doesn't always mean you have no chance of beating the case. Your DUI attorney has been in this business for years, and on top of that, they have decades combined experience backing them at their law firm. Your attorney understands machines and humans make mistakes, and drawing on past experience, will carefully study if the officer conducting the test properly calibrated the device, has experience using this device and if this one piece of equipment has a history of providing false readings.
The hardest part of clearing your name in a DUI case is being able to get the evidence and be in the position to find inconsistencies with the prosecution case. Not only is the evidence hard to acquire, it is a challenge to analyze correctly. Your DUI attorney has seen all sorts of evidence and knows exactly what to look for to be able to poke any holes in that prosecution case. Your attorney will be able to carefully check the police dash video, the equipment used to get your blood alcohol level, and the video of the arrest at the police station.
The DUI attorney has been in this court defending these type cases for years, and they have developed the skills to get many defendants out of serious trouble as a result. Your attorney has been working with certain police, judges, and prosecutors, and understands what type of defenses are going to work and which don't have a chance in each situation. This courtroom experience is the key to either getting your charges lessened or the case dismissed altogether. Experience is everything because even if things look hopeless, your attorney can find the smallest opening to attempt to poke holes in the prosecution case and get you off the hook.
As the case gets closer to trial, your DUI attorney is going to be in the best position to have a plea bargain strategy ready in case things don't play out as expected. Although the goal is to get the case dismissed altogether, your attorney understands that you can not simply hope for the best, you have to have a few options available and be able to quickly call an audible if needed. Perhaps the evidence is solid, but your lawyer is going to focus on your clean driving record or the fact the BA number was barely over the legal limit. Pushing for a lesser charge like reckless allows you to keep your license and pay far less in the way of fines. A skilled attorney will know the best time to try for a plea deal.
The charges for reckless driving are less severe than those for DUI, something your attorney will be pushing for with the evidence they have uncovered.

Q: Buffering Timeout Error (MongooseError: Operation `users.insertOne()` buffering timed out after 10000ms) Whenever i run my application. I get an error after a few seconds. MongooseError: Operation users.insertOne() buffering timed out after 10000ms
Here is the code i used to connect to the database
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const express = require("express")
const app = express()

app.use(express.static("views"))
app.use(express.json())
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }))

mongoose.set("strictQuery", false);
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/newsletter", { useNewUrlParser: true });

const User = require("./User");
// app.use(User)

app.post("/addUser", (req, res, next) => {
    console.log("reqeuest recieved")
    console.log(req.body)

    const name = req.body.name;
    const email = req.body.email;
    saveUser(name, email)

    // Make the user go to the database here
    res.redirect("/")
    next()
})

app.post("/getEmails", (req, res, next) => {
    res.end("im getting emails")
    next()
})

async function saveUser(name, email) {
    // before adding to the database, see if it already exists
    // if (await User.findOne( { name: name } )){
    //     console.log("not adding to the database")
    //     return;
    // }
    console.log("req recieved")
    const user = await User.create({
        name: name,
        email: email
    })
    await user.save()
    console.log(user);
}

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log("Listening")
})```

I called in the scheema after i connected to the databse. I tried using the link that you get from typing mongosh in a command prompt. That works but i want to use the loacl host.

A: You have to specify port in
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/newsletter", { useNewUrlParser: true });
like :
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/newsletter", { useNewUrlParser: true });
Your client is not connected to the database probabely

A: Try to connect with:
mongoose
  .connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/newsletter', { useNewUrlParser: true })
  .catch((e) => {
    console.log(e);
    process.exit(0);
  });

Also, no need to call await user.save() if you create a new instance with User.create().


Google says its enhanced alarm system for network administrators allows them to detect phishing URLs.
Google has added a new alarm for phishing URLs to a service designed to alert administrators if their networks have been compromised.
The new phishing alert is part of Google Safe Browsing Alerts for Network Administrators, a service launched in September. The idea behind Safe Browsing Alerts is to notify AS (autonomous system) owners about malicious content found on their networks.
"A single network or ISP can host hundreds or thousands of different Websites," Google security team members Nav Jagpal and Ke Wang wrote at the time in a joint blog post. "Although network administrators may not be responsible for running the Websites themselves, they have an interest in the quality of the content being hosted on their networks. We're hoping that with this additional level of information, administrators can help make the Internet safer by working with Webmasters to remove malicious content and fix security vulnerabilities."
The new feature adds phishing URLs to the mix, and e-mails warnings to administrators.
"We'd also like to point out the XML notification feature," Jagpal wrote Oct. 14. "By default, we send notification messages in a simple e-mail message. However, we realize that some of you may want to process these notifications by a script, so we've added the ability to receive messages in XML format. Click on an AS in your list to modify preferences, such as enabling the XML notification feature."

RICHMOND, Va. — A Southside brewery took a step toward gaining a needed special-use permit at Monday's city planning commission meeting, while Virginia Commonwealth University gave the city a look at its master plan.
The commission voted yesterday to approve an SUP for Dogtown Brewing Co., a brewpub planned to open at 1209 Hull St. in Manchester.
The concept is from local developers and couple Michael and Laura Dyer Hild, who announced the project about a year ago.
The two-level brewery is set to feature over 20 beers on tap and serve a menu of classic pub food, while the top floors of the building are being converted into apartments.
Work on Dogtown is underway at the former Thalhimers department store near the intersection of Hull and East 12th streets.
The Hilds have amassed over two dozen properties in Manchester in recent years through their Church Hill Ventures LLC, with a number of business ventures planned for many of them, including Butterbean Market and Cafe at 1204 Hull St., Climax Beverage Co.at 2005 Hull St. and a second brewery concept, Manastoh Brewing at 1209 Hull St.
Earlier this year the first of their ventures, Hot Diggity Donuts, opened at 1213 Hull St.
Despite putting many of their holdings on the market, the Hilds still are adding to their portfolio in Manchester. In October, Gardenia LLC, an entity tied to Laura Dyer Hild, purchased the former Lighthouse Diner building at 1228 Hull St. for $285,000, per city property records.


Once again, the Scottish capital has opened its doors to thousands of performers and lovers of the arts for the month long Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It is home to comedians, actors, dancers, singers and artists from around the globe, making it no surprise that it is the largest arts festival in the world.
Of course, whilst visiting this artistic medley, we sought out a bunch of Sheffield-based performers to see just what they can do outside of the Steel City.
Samuel Ross is a theatre-maker and performer studying at the University of Sheffield. As a member of Sheffield University Performing Arts Society (SUPAS) and Sheffield University Theater Company (SUTCo), Ross knows a thing or two about putting on a show.
Can't Stop Can't Stop is a solo show about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a condition that Ross himself lives with. The show outlines the triggers many with OCD fear and, with help from Ross' deeply personal performance, gives an insight into the exhaustion and pain this disorder causes.
Energetic and liberated, Ross' transparent performance is enthralling and emotive. The show addresses serious questions surrounding our current understanding of mental health disorders and the quality of help that is currently offered. Occasionally it was difficult to distinguish whether Ross had genuinely been triggered within the show but this only speaks volumes about the sheer talent on display. If you're looking for a memorable and authentic performance, look no further.
Buried: A New Musical has returned to the Fringe for a second year running after sellout shows last summer. Written by Tom Williams and Cordelia O'Driscoll in their final year at the University of Sheffield, this unorthodox musical displays the wonders a creative university atmosphere can inspire.
When two serial killers, Rose and Harry, meet on a date, they quickly learn they share a lot in common. The audience become innocent bystanders to their criminal joint ventures, and watch their developing relationship as they become increasingly vulnerable to each other.
Colla Voce Theater certainly achieves their aim of breaking the mould of musical theater. It's quirky, clever and guilty of more than murder. Despite the obvious heavy themes in this musical, it is full of comical, serendipitous moments. Played by a cast of six SUTCo and SUPAS alumni, the experience and confidence of each actor shine through, putting the audience at instant ease. A strong vocal range from each actor, paired with an excellent ensemble playing folk and jazz on stage, makes each number a treat to listen to. Most surprising is the size of the stage and capacity of the lecture hall in which Colla Voce Theater perform. Buried: A New Musical is capable of broadway, so jump at the chance of seeing it now.
Recluse Beaker runs an illegal body disposal service in the cellar of his pub. The only company he has is cat Paul. When Paul dies, Beaker's grief is unbearable. Just as he is about to take his own life, he receives one last body that he must dispose of. However it is with that final delivery Beaker finds himself with a new acquaintance: Drew.
Only Lucky Dogs is an independent theater company comprised of Sheffield University students who have all been involved with SUTCo. As their first ever show hits the Fringe, they successfully start as they mean to go on. Taking on themes of loneliness, grief and revenge, this dark comedy strikes the right balance between the thought-provoking moments and the comedic wit that audiences yearn for.
As a two man show, Beaker's Place is composed as a series of monologues and dialogue between the two protagonists, which are always delivered at the perfect pace. Halfway through this performance the plot slows, and could use more movement or an in depth side story to keep it enticing throughout. But for a whole show using just one set, it can be forgiven.
Sean Morley is an alumni of the university and the founder of The Sheffield Revue. Since graduating he has become an established, alternative solo comedian, featuring on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 4 Extra. I Apologise For My Recent Behaviour was listed by the British Comedy Guide 2018 as a top show at this years Fringe, and it's not hard to see why.
This absurdist show does not follow a simple set. It begins with a focus on the feelings of the audience. Forced to admit where we stood on a numbered scale of emotion, Morley analyses the crowd and begins to apologise to those with high expectation of his show. By the end, after experiencing a random turn of events, it feels as though you are part of a strange cult built on guilt and forgiveness.
Morley is an expert at audience manipulation, and has the ability to persuade you into an anxious frame of mind. The beauty of this show is that you just don't know what is coming next.
Each performance may differ depending on who is in the crowd, but Morley takes this in his stride. His expertise serves him well, as he works well with (and often encourages) vocal crowd member's playful heckles.
Surreal and refreshing I Apologise For My Recent Behaviour stands out amongst general current affairs stand up that crowd the Fringe. And for that: there is nothing to apologise for.
It's safe to say Sheffield is smashing the Fringe.
Fancy seeing some of these shows yourself? Edinburgh Festival Fringe is on until 27th August. See the website to browse all of the shows on offer.

Pharmacy Owner and Director of Compliance Charged with Defrauding United States and Distributing Adulterated Products
October 04, 2017 | By: John E. Morrone, Esq. and Tera Lynn A. Rule, Esq., Pharm.D.
On Tuesday, June 20, 2017, Paul J. Elmer, pharmacist and owner of Pharmakon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (a 503B Outsourcing Facility), and Caprice R. Bearden, Pharmakon's Director of Compliance, were arrested and later indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in Indiana, charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and three counts of distributing adulterated products. According to FDA requirements, 503B Outsourcing Facilities must comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs)- the same requirement that big pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, such as Pfizer, are required to follow.
The indictment alleges that from July 2013 through mid-February 2016, Bearden received approximately 70 potency test failure notices from companies used by Pharmakon to test compounded products potency, indicating that drugs, such as morphine sulfate and fentanyl, were entire under- or over-potent. In addition to receiving 70 potency tests indicating that Pharmakon's products were adulterated, the indictment also alleges that after reviewing the results, Elmer and Beardon actively decided not to recall any products or alert anyone with the intent to protect profits and Pharmakon's reputation. Further, the indictment alleges that during the course of three separate FDA inspections at Pharmakon, Elmer and Beardon lied to FDA investigators when they were specifically asked whether Pharmakon had received any out-of-specification test results, despite their knowledge to the contrary. This is ultimately the basis for the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
This indictment comes not long after a Massachusetts pharmacist, Barry Cadden, was convicted of racketeering and fraud for his role as president of New England Compounding Center, whereby adultered drugs were sold that that caused the 2012 meningitis outbreak, ultimately killing 64 people, and sickening hundreds more.
Five major, important lessons can be drawn from this indictment for both 503B Outsourcing Facilities and 503A Compounding Pharmacies.
503B Outsourcing Facilities and 503A Compounding Pharmacies are a hot topic on the FDA's radar.
503A Compounding Pharmacies and 503B Outsourcing Facilities should engage in potency testing or another applicable test that establishes that the compound's potency matches the compound's label.
If potency tests fail to establish that the compound's potency matches the compound's label, then the Pharmacy or Outsourcing Facility responsible should work with the FDA to initiate a recall.
Employees and representatives should make nothing less than truthful statements, which are believed in good faith to be accurate, to the FDA during any interaction or correspondence with the FDA.
Outsourcing Facilities and Compounding Pharmacies should have robust policies and procedures regarding their operations for compounding and should have a robust compliance/quality program that can identify issues or potential issues in order to respond quickly and comprehensively to any identified problems.

When intrapreneurs are given the chance to work on a new innovation program, they can't wait to get started. They can't wait to open their new innovation lab, corporate accelerator or run an innovation sprint. This is the energy of the entrepreneur and comes with the territory. In a previous article, I argued that before starting such innovation programs, intrapreneurs must take the time to learn from those in their company who tried before and failed. These people can be a great source of information about what works or doesn't work inside your company.
But here is another interesting and possibly surprising fact for you – your program is not the only activity centred around innovation that is happening inside your company at the moment. There is a lot of buzz around innovation these days and a lot of leaders are trying to get involved. I have learned that companies have a way of spawning a lot of random innovation programs – all claiming to do the same things and all with different or even competing objectives. A little unsettling isn't it?
In some large companies I have worked with, innovators are constantly running into each other. They are asking for the same resources, building similar products and even talking to the same customers. There is a lot of competition and duplication of efforts, which is a great waste of time and talent. This burst of innovative activity has become a real problem. Every leader now wants to be recognized as an innovative rockstar in the making.
Don't join in on this waste of time. Don't be one of those intrapreneurs who just want to get started and is willing to do anything to get their piece of the pie. Always be thinking about how you can create value for your company using innovation. So take some time to find out exactly what is going on, who is doing what and where inside your company. This will ensure that your own efforts are not either crushed, diluted or even obliterated in this program mishmash!
Why the programs were set up? What are they trying to achieve?
Whether these programmes focused on creating new revenue growth, transforming the company or both?
How much impact are they actually having on either creating new revenue growth or transforming the company?
What challenges are they facing? What are the main enablers and blockers with the company?
Understanding what is happening inside your company is important. The people running these programs can become your allies, depending on how you approach them and how you conduct yourself. Rather than acting as if it is a zero-sum competition for resources, try to forge a path that allows you to create value and make a unique contribution to your company. You will be glad you took the time to slow down and understand your environment.

W's beauty director explains what she loves at the moment
by Jane Larkworthy
Don't hate her because she's beautiful. When I met Jennifer Connelly, I noticed that her complexion is, in fact, as gorgeously glowing as it appears to be onscreen. But I also found out that she's worked for it. "I got in the habit of good cleansing when I started acting in my teens," says the 42-year-old. "I spend more time on skincare than on my makeup." It doesn't hurt that Connelly, as the face of the Shiseido Future Solution line, has access to some pretty amazing products. Her latest love: LX Total Protective Cream, which uses sansho pepper, star fruit, okra, and green tea extracts to build up the skin's moisture barrier. Now if I could only have those eyebrows…


A Bronx man who brutally bludgeoned another man with a baseball bat — and then backed his car over him — will spend 12 years behind bars for the vicious attack, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Julio Mendez-Santana, 23, joined four other men in the beat down of Jibrail Wirts, 33, in Mullaly Park at River Ave. and McClellan St., in Concourse, June 25, 2017, prosecutors said.
Wirts was attending a birthday party in the park when he got into an argument with Mendez-Santana over the use of a fire hydrant, prosecutors said.
"The defendant took things to an extremely violent level by beating the victim with a baseball bat, and — as he lay unconscious — backing a car over the victim," Bronx D.A. Darcel Clark said.
The group had chased Wirts down the street and held him while Mendez-Santana clubbed him three times then ran over him with his car.
Wirts was comatose for nearly two months. He needed six operations on his head, and was left with "significant, lasting physical and emotional disabilities," prosecutors said.
A jury found Mendez-Santana guilty Jan. 10.He was sentenced Tuesday to 12 years in prison, followed by five years of parole.

A heartwarming–heartbreaking story of danger, blackmail, and espionage but also love, hope, and friendship.
What do a well-bred Southern Belle and a Northern working class Pinkerton detective have in common? Espionage . . . and romance.
Hannah Mayfield is not your typical Southern Belle. She is a smart, brave, and educated young lady who believes in values like justice and equality. While growing up, her best friend was a slave named Noah. But their friendship placed both of them at risk.
James Neely is not your typical Pinkerton detective. He is a compassionate young man who shares Hannah's values.
During troubled times of war, their love flourishes and gives them strength and determination for a better life, away from all this hatred consuming everyone around them.
Genteel Secrets is a heartwarming–heartbreaking story of danger, blackmail, and espionage but also love, hope, and friendship.
This is not the first novel by S. R. Mallery that I've read, and like all the other ones, I enjoyed it immensely.
Sometimes we ask ourselves what does true love mean? Does it mean when two people commit and sign a piece of paper so they can stay with each other forever, whenever things are so easy and perfect when no one is having a hard time?
Or is true love when two lovers stay with each other under any circumstances, when they don't give up and they do anything to just experience the beauty of love again and again, no matter how hard the path is; when they don't give up and just hold hands and go on?
In this book, S. R. Mallery shows how tough life can be sometimes for people who are indeed in love, yet also how much they can grow by believing in their feelings for the true love of their lives. The author uses her creative mind perfectly to visualize a love story through the Civil War, between two people from two different classes of society and backgrounds.
This book was very well written, and again Mallery uses her gifted talent to guide her readers to imagine every scene of the story like a colorful movie on their giant brain screen.
So many parallels to today, where political uncertainty is cause for concern, but life continues on for the moment is how this wonderful story begins. At the onset of the Civil War, Hannah, an educated, proper young lady living with her family in the south finds that a friendship with the slave, Noah, has placed both of them at risk, a risk she is willing to take.
Genteel Secrets is a beautiful story which transports the reader in time. I imagined living with war raging around me, the sudden adaptation to change they'd have to make, families forced to leave their homes, their lives at stake running for safety. True to life historical fiction at its best, it's so much more than romance. I could see this novel being made into a movie.

Thank you so so much, Caleb, for this!


Risk benefits (looking at the benefits gained from taking risks) usually outweigh any adverse effects from risks taken. As long as a playground is regularly monitored for dangerous hazards, that children would not be able to manage themselves, then any planned, age-appropriate risks can only help to develop children's decision making and risk-assessing skills.
Past generations had a lot more freedom to roam and explore than young people do today. They were used to naturally taking risks during their play and would learn from their successes and mistakes without coming to too much harm.
Sadly, today's young people live in a world of health and safety regulations and therefore need to be provided with opportunities to be able to take risks in a more artificial world. School playgrounds and parks are an ideal setting to facilitate children learning to assess and deal with risk, so that they can confidently and safely deal with risk in the real world of work, in their futures.
When children play they naturally develop new skills, they gain in experience and confidence and their approach to risk will alter. They are drawn to danger and want to challenge themselves. They make countless decisions whilst deciding on what they'd like to risk doing physically, socially and emotionally.
Children then naturally build up an awareness of their own personal limits and boundaries and this not only helps them to play safely, but also allows them to challenge themselves and to develop their personal play boundaries.
Through risk management, children will also develop important skills like courage, caution and resilience. To take advantage of this chance to naturally develop children's ability to safely assess risk, nurseries, schools and parks should provide outdoor spaces that inspire children to explore, grow and test their boundaries and develop a secure approach to assessing and taking risks.
Introduce challenge and danger into your playground through physical risk taking. Equipment like Adventure Trails, Adventure Play Towers, Climbing Walls and Little Movers Range are ideal ways to introduce risk into adventure play.
The children will need to assess risk and make decisions in order to complete a trail about how to traverse, ascend or descend to navigate the adventure equipment. They will need to plan, do and review their performance, whilst stretching their physical capabilities.
Encourage your children to get messy or wet by using their senses; this provides a different type of risk to children: emotional risk. They may be experiencing something new, taking them outside of their comfort zone, so they will need to develop curiosity, courage and resilience towards discovering a new experience.
For many children getting messy isn't something they are used to, or for some children something they are allowed to do at home. So having fun in a Mud Kitchen, exploring in a Sand Construction Station, getting dirty by planting in a Planter or getting messy with the paints on a Poly Painting Station may challenge some children's parameters. They will discover what they like, don't like and will learn to deal with these emotions appropriately.
Provide open-ended opportunities to get creative. Often teamwork can help children to approach risk in a more considered way. They will be able to discuss alternative approaches and then be able to try out their theories and reflect on their results, without feeling the sole person responsible.
For example, whilst using Den Building Posts, children will be able to take risks to see if the shelter they build will be safe and functional. They will make decisions on the materials used, the structure and the coverings.
They will learn how to carry resources safely and when appropriate learn to use tools to cut or fix the materials to improve their den. If they fail to create a satisfactory den, they will learn from their mistakes, learn from others, start to develop resilience and be able to try again.
Let your children experience social and emotional risk-taking in an age-appropriate, imaginative way. Role play can be an ideal medium to let your children immerse themselves in imaginative play, so they can practise being in different scenarios and learn how to respond. By practising social skills and learning to deal with their emotions in a make-believe scenario, they will learn to experiment and try out different responses.
By enabling young children to experiment in a safe environment, they will naturally take risks and learn from their discoveries and test out social boundaries. By telling a story or sharing factual information to friends on a Story Tellers Chair, children will start to develop the courage and skills to adapt to listeners responses and to perform in front of others, sharing their personal thoughts and ideas on an open stage.
By creating their own compositions on Outdoor Instruments, they will be taking the risk of receiving criticism as well as praise for their performance. However, if the criticism is constructive, they will benefit from revising their piece of music and benefitted in the long run, as well as learning to deal with advice.
Allow the time for free exploration. Children are actively learning and discovering things for themselves when they are allowed free play at break times and during independent learning time. The Early Years Foundation Stage are experts at allowing child-led learning to take place, but all children benefit from being able to take charge of their learning and being given permission to experiment, take risks and to put their own ideas into practice.
Children will actively choose to take risks during free play, as they will naturally challenge their physical, emotional and social barriers during their own journeys of discovery. They just need to be given the time and permission to explore.
So if you're feeling inspired to provide a safe, age-appropriate outdoor space that actively promotes risk-taking and develops effective risk management in your setting, please contact our experienced professional team at Schoolscapes, who will be able to collaborate with you to create the perfect outside learning environment, where risk benefits knock the socks off risk!
What better way to prepare your learners for the real world out there, a world full of risk and decision making?
