Here at Busy Bees Cheam we absolutely love to play, create and educate together.
We know how important your child's safety, development and preschool education is to you. That's why every child at Busy Bees Cheam is assigned their very own key carer to ensure that we can provide you and your little ones with continuous assessment and the very best in quality childcare.
Our Outstanding Busy Bees at Cheam Day Nursery and Preschool enjoys a secure location, tucked away off Ewell Road in the same gated grounds as NonSuch High School for Girls and David Lloyd Health Club, Cheam.
Our passionate and highly qualified childcare team creates a truly home from home learning environment for children aged 12 weeks up to the age of 5.
In the heart of Cheam Village, Busy Bees at Cheam Day Nursery is within walking distance of Cheam Railway station with regular routes to London Victoria and London Bridge. We also enjoy private parking for easy, convenient drop-off and pick-up.
An idyllic location, fabulous outdoor spaces, and a passionate and highly qualified team are just a few of the reasons that parents choose Busys Bees at Cheam Day Nursery and Preschool over other childcare settings.
Children at Treetops Cheam are cared for in a beautiful purpose-built building on one level. Refurbished in 2014, we have 4 separate age-dependent rooms and a curriculum devised in line with the EYFS statutory framework. Our rooms are bright and airy and enjoy a cosy home-from-home feel, designed to settle and relax babies and children into the nursery environment.
Our passionate childcare team delivers a programme of stimulating and exciting activities and experiences to navigate children through key childhood milestones. From arts and crafts, messy play and sensory play to home corner and role play there's lots to do to challenge enquiring minds.
Though fun is the order of the day every day we begin to gently introduce more structure in our preschool rooms and deliver the foundations you'd expect for lifelong learning – phonics, literacy and elemental mathematics plus key social skills to help your little ones become confident and independent.
After safety and security, education is usually high on parents' priority lists when it comes to choosing a nursery school. Busy Bees at Cheam is proud to have a team of highly-trained and educated staff well-placed to maximise the potential of every child and prepare them for 'big school'. That's why we are a sought –after preschool in the Surrey borders.
Among the team we have a full-time qualified preschool teacher and a manager with a degree in Early Years Education. Our team is committed to their own continuous professional development and we have 3 other staff currently studying for Foundation Degree qualifications in Early Years Education.
Our preschool children typically go on to neighbouring schools including St Dunstan's Cheam CE Primary School, Cuddington Croft Primary School, Sutton, Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy, Sutton and Cheam Fields Primary School.
We have a large refurbished garden with separate play areas for under 2's and over 2's. We get out and about in the local community and enjoy walks in NonSuch Park and regular trips to Cheam Library for story-time.
Nappies and wipes are included in our daily fees!


Objective 2: Destroy all Allied forces.
When you start this level, you will begin with a base without an Con. Yard and some SAM sites and lots of Units, including Tesla Tanks. When the level begins, three Small Tanks will attack from the South. Your defenses will easily take them out. Watch out for Longbows and such and start constructing Tanks as soon as you get money.
You should capture the Con. Yard to the West. So, when you build enough tanks, send them South. You will see a Civilian Village. Destroy the Village and all of the Enemy Units that gather there.
By this time, the Allied MiG will come by to drop a A-Bomb on you so when you see that MiG, run away as far as you can, and it might actually destroy your enemies on accident. Use Flamethrowers on the Civilian Buildings and just leave them there. After you build enough tanks for a Tank Rush, send them all South and cut off their money supply, taking out the Ore Trucks. At your base, you should be experiencing pesky Rocket Soldiers destroying SAM Sites. Use V-2 Rockets and plant them at the Concrete Wall to easily kill them off.
After destroying the base south, concentrate on the base to the West of your base. Use V-2 Rockets to take out the Turrets and Pillboxes.
Next, destroy everything in the base except the Naval Yard. Capture it with some Engineers. Start building a horde of Destroyers to destroy the Longbows and the MiG when they attempt to pass by. Then, build a Transport and load some Tanks in them. Send your Destroyers South of the Naval Base and destroy all outside defenses. Unload your Transport and scout and attack as much as the little island, opening where to go and such.
After plundering, destroy everything and load the tanks back into the Transport. Go south a little bit more and destroy the annoying Airfield and MiGs. Make sure you destroyed all Allied buildings and structures.

Ne-Yo gifts mom another home, becomes best son ever
Zachary Kussin
Social Links for Zachary Kussin

Good sons such as R&B singer Ne-Yo would say every day is Mother's Day.
The 36-year-old star just snagged a $300,000 townhouse in Mableton, Ga. — a community some 15 miles from downtown Atlanta — for his mother, Harriett Loraine Burts, TMZ reports.
It's a fantastic three-bedroom gift for sure, but even better is the fact that this is the second home he's purchased for her.
In 2012, he shelled out $550,000 to buy Mom a six-bedroom manse in nearby Alpharetta, a suburb north of the city, where she reportedly still resides. That 5,900-square-foot spread has a terrace space and overlooks a golf course, according to reports. But TMZ notes this new townhouse is closer to Atlanta.
Additional information on the newly purchased momma's house is not available, but a Zillow search of recently sold townhouses in Mableton turns up five contenders.
The property gifts keep on giving.
Last summer, Ne-Yo — who married Crystal Renay Williams in February — reportedly made his baby-mama, Monyetta Shaw, a co-owner of his $1 million Atlanta condo by adding her name to the deed. He apparently wanted her and their two children to live comfortably in the 3,001-square-foot, three-bedroom home.
Nice moves, Ne-Yo, but it's a good thing you're not buying New York City real estate. You'd likely be bankrupt by now!

A pro-Russia militant stands at a checkpoint in the outskirts of Donetsk, Ukraine.
France and Germany believe the ceasefire in Ukraine is "generally" being observed, a statement from the French presidency says. But the countries' leaders, who helped broker the truce, said some "local incidents" must be "quickly" resolved.
Shelling has continued around the besieged town of Debaltseve. However, fighting in the area is reported to have lowered in intensity since the ceasefire began at midnight Saturday (22:00 GMT). Pro-Russian rebels had previously said they were entitled to fire in the town, as they believe the territory belongs to them.
Meanwhile, a military spokesman said Ukrainian troops had come under fire 60 times in the hours after the truce came into force, AFP reports. The spokesman said Debaltseve continued to be the scene of most clashes. The town – a key transport hub – has been the object of some of the fiercest fighting in the conflict zone in recent weeks, and the ongoing struggle there appears to pose the gravest threat to the truce.
The OSCE's Michael Bociurkiw: "There has been an exchange of artillery fire and I believe that is ongoing" OSCE monitors agree that the truce appears to be generally holding, but complain they have been denied access to Debaltseve. In Sunday's statement, the French presidency said leaders of the four countries that negotiated the truce last week – France, Germany, Ukraine and Russia – had held more talks on Sunday.

Singtel Innov8 looks for start-ups with eye on IoT
Singtel Innov8 looks for start-ups with eye on IoT Featured
By	Peter Dinham
Singapore telco Singtel Group's corporate venture arm, Innov8, has launched its Connect program to facilitate the search for local and global start-ups with innovative solutions that could help accelerate the adoption of Internet-of-Things technologies.
Innov8 says this year's Connect program will focus on smart IoT solutions in areas of public infrastructure, transportation, utilities, security, connected homes and personal wellness.
Singtel has been testing applications in environmental sensing, asset tracking and waste management to develop solutions for IoT, a critical lever that enterprises can use to digitally transform their businesses.
"IoT is radically transforming the way enterprises operate, and consumers live and play," said Edgar Hardless, chief executive of Singtel Innov8.
"Through a structured program like Innov8 Connect, we can specify Singtel's 'wish-list' of IoT solutions and help connect with local and global start-ups. This mutually beneficial program spurs greater innovation by giving start-ups a platform to test and validate their products, enabling them to bring their solutions to the market faster.
"As Singapore accelerates its drive towards becoming a smart nation, it is imperative that businesses embrace IoT to stay relevant in today's digital economy."
Since its launch in 2016, Innov8 says Connect has helped start-ups validate their solutions with the Singtel Group, and among the program's notable alumni are Moogsoft, a leading provider of artificial intelligence solutions for IT operations, and Xjera Labs, an AI-based image and video analytics company.
"The Innov8 Connect program is a great platform for exposing technology start-ups like ours," said Jeremy Heng, co-founder of Xjera Labs. "It gave us the ability to compete with the big guys and the opportunity to showcase our products and solutions."
The Innov8 Connect program is open for submissions until 5 August, and interested start-ups can submit their proposals for the six new IoT business areas identified by Singtel.
Project briefs and other details are now available on the Innov8 Connect portal. And shortlisted start-ups will be invited to pitch their business cases to a panel of Singtel Group management executives.
Those selected will receive up to S$75,000 to test and develop their solutions with the Group, with six start-ups to be chosen to provide a solution for each of the six business areas. Singtel will also help them explore commercialisation opportunities across the Group.

The Internet of Things has been steadily rising over the past five years. In fact, within the next 20 years, Marc Andreessen predicts that every physical item will have a chip implanted in it.
In the tech analyst Gartner's "Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies" report in 2015, the IoT is at the peak of "inflated expectations," particularly for areas like the smart home, which involves controlling your lights, thermostat, or TV using your mobile phone.
Which is why he has invested $25 million into the Californian startup Samsara, which is the first of a new generation of Internet of Things devices that solve huge industrial problems, rather than turning your fridge or your toothbrush into a portal to the web.
Gartner backs this claim — it predicts that businesses alone will double spending on Internet of Things units by 2020, going from $767 billion to more than $1.4 trillion.
Other startups in the space include the San Francisco-based Helium, which has raised $16 million from investors like Khosla Ventures and Ayla, which has raised more than $25 million from the likes of Cisco. In fact, according to the analyst CB Insights, which tracks investments, IoT startups have garnered 7.4 billion investment dollars cumulatively, having more than doubled their funding in five years.
Samsara, for instance, provides sensors and data analytics in the cloud for heavily instrumented industries like pharmaceuticals, transport, power, and water.
Pharmaceutical companies transporting drugs or vaccines need to constantly monitor temperature; logistics or delivery companies track their fleet of vehicles over long distances; and perishable food companies need to monitor internal temperature and humidity of trucks to check whether their goods are spoiling.
Samsara is already trialling its product with a range of industries, including the well-known American yogurt manufacturer Chobani, two multinational pharmaceuticals, and city water districts that want to monitor energy consumption patterns of water pumps, among others.
"The problem is that manual measurements are very common in hospitals, pharmaceutical delivery chains, and even the distribution of dairy and meat produce. Someone actually goes to the warehouse to fill out a report with pen and paper every three hours," says Samsara's CEO Sanjit Biswas, whose previous network technology startup Meraki sold to Cisco for over $2 billion.
His big idea: installing cheap sensors, and uploading and analyzing data to the cloud makes Samara one-10th of the cost of existing industrial sensors (complex systems made by huge incumbents like Intel), and deployable in under 10 minutes.
"If you want a tailored system, someone like IBM will build you a custom solution, but it usually costs $5 million so it doesn't make sense unless you're a large company," he explains.
Andreessen is a fierce believer in the impact of this wave of software-driven sensor startups. His core thesis is that over the next 20 years every physical item will have a chip implanted in it. "The end state is fairly obvious — every light, every doorknob will be connected to the internet. Just like with the web itself, there will be thousands of of use cases — energy efficiency, food safety, major problems that aren't as obvious as smartwatches and wearables," he says.
A report from Accenture this year estimated that this new Industrial Internet of Things — which has also been called the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 — could boost the British economy alone by $531 billion (£352 billion) by 2030.

UK 'not where it should be' in regard to Brexit, leading business groups warn
Five of the leading business groups in the UK have warned MPs that the UK is 'not where it should be' in regard to its Brexit plans.
The government recently confirmed that it has decided to prioritise preparing for a 'no deal' Brexit, and intends to advise UK businesses to begin implementing their contingency plans.
In a joint letter, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), the Institute of Directors (IoD), the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) and manufacturers' organisation the EEF stated that UK firms have been 'watching in horror' as politicians have focused on 'factional disputes' rather than the practical steps that need to be taken to secure an advantageous Brexit deal.
The letter also said that firms are 'pausing or diverting investment' in order to prepare for a potential no deal Brexit scenario.
The business groups believe that there is 'not enough time' to prevent the 'severe dislocation and disruption' that will come hand-in-hand with a no deal Brexit scenario. They have called for MPs to 'talk to their local business communities' over the festive break in order to help 'find a way forward' when they return to Parliament.

Acquiring either one of them means not really worrying about "going forward."
Unless I'm reading this wrong, signing Kovalchuk (or similar FA) for a short term, without losing assets, and knowing he will be off the books in 1 or 2 seasons - possibly via trade that brings back picks or prospects - does not hinder any forward movement.
a 4year deal near $7m... I can see you making a case against that, especially at the cost of picks/prospects.
If Kovalchuk is that valued around the league why wouldn't a contender sign him after July 1st and why would he rather come play here on a team that's likely to go through some rough times? Makes little since if the guy is serious about trying to win a cup. Are there no contenders that would offer him the same 1-2 year deal?
Can't that be said about any vet, though?
I don't think it's too hard to understand why someone might come here. Once youve been around the league long enough, you know the good organizations. NY has its perks over other teams and other cities. If he's looking for a short-term deal, why not NY? Get traded to a contender at the deadline - sweet. The city, the team, the lack of travel, the exposure, the money, the advertisements, etc. And it's NY, and the Rangers. They are not going to stay bad forever.
him compared to any other deals he might be offered than I would want him here even less (and I don't care how much cap space we have, it doesn't mean they can't spend it elsewhere). No they're not going to be bad forever but I didn't realize we were now offering a forever contract, so I'm confused by your if he's looking for a short term deal and then pointing to the team not being bad for ever.
It doesn't. But it's totally pointless if you aren't trying to be a contender right now. If you are trying to be a contender right now, then, say, two late firsts are more valuable acquiring Kessel.
What I'm saying is that, in a vacuum, if I'm trying to win right now, I'd rather trade for Kessel than sign Kovy, because even though he costs more, you know you are getting a good player.
It's not just about how much we would pay him, necessarily. First, there might be a contender that is up against the cap that may not be able to sign such a player. At the deadline, they will be able to fit in a bigger cap hit. Second, its not just the contract, but playing in NY will allow him to market himself a bit more, than say Arizona.
As for winning - we dont know what next season, or the season after will hold. You know, coming to NY, that if the team has a chance, they may go for it. They might sign a #1C this summer, or next. They might trade for, or sign a Norris winner. Coming to NY, you know you have a team that may be willing to take the steps necessary to be a contender, if they find themselves in that situation. Knowing a team will try to win (at one point or another) is also intriguing to a player.
We are in a situation where we can take the risk, without hurting anything moving forward - contrary to what Future said.
I never said that signing Kovy would hurt anything.

On 31 Thoughts podcast, Friedman said the Pens have serious interest in acquiring Max Domi. Given the obvious Tocchet connection, I wonder if Arizona wouldn't push to acquire Kessel in a blockbuster?
Giving up the #5 seems too high, or I'd say a 1st and Domi would get it done.
Yea, that could probably do it.
Smart bet for ARZ, because if they're getting Kessel, its consistent with planning on actually winning some games.
I think it would be a bad move for Arizona to trade the Domi + 5th overall (or any 1st rd pick) for Kessel.
They're still a horrible team, with or without him.
They were pretty good the last 30-ish games of last season. From the second week of Feb (I think) they were like 11th in the league and 5th in the West in points and only 2 points behind a bunch of the teams ahead of them over that stretch. That was around a 105-point pace, which they won't hit, but they could be a 95-point playoff team.
I think the hockey world has been waiting for them to be good for close to 20 years now. They "should be good" is always the mantra. In actuality, they're always at the bottom. They need to spend money on roster players and not just salary dumps. I believe they had more money out of the lineup this season then in it. It's a joke.
If I'm the Pens I do Domi and a 1st round pick all day long.
If I'm Arz I don't really see it as a game changer in any way though.
How would it not be? Domi has regressed more than progressed over his first three seasons and Kessel would immediately give them a serious top line (Kessel, Stepan, Keller). His goal-scoring alone would dramatically improve their offense. They were 30th in goals for last season (206). Adding Kessel over Domi adds another 25 to their totals, moving them to 18th/19th overall, tied with Anaheim and Dallas.
How is this not a game game changer in any way?

Idk man, I don't think there's a team in the league where Phil Kessel isn't a game changer.
He had 92 points last year. I know a lot of that was playing with Malkin, and he's not going to get that everywhere, but that's a lot of scoring.
No one is suggesting 5OA in the deal. Mike and I agreed a first is needed which is why a lottery-protected 2019 makes the most sense.
Lottery-protected 2019 first, Domi for Kessel straight up is a fair trade all around.


Twenty public hearings may seem like a daunting schedule. But that's OK – you only have to attend one.
It'll be Carson City's Planning Commission and other boards that will sit through an extensive set of public meetings with the goal of hearing as many comments from as many residents as possible in formulating the city's new master plan.
But the responsibility lies with residents themselves. They must care how this city is going to be shaped in the next 20 years, and they must pass along their thoughts to the people who will make it happen.
Master plans sometimes have the effect of a giant sleeping pill – particularly in their attempt to cover every potential, opportunity and issue that may crop up in coming decades. It's a big, big picture.
But break it down, and every resident of Carson will find something they care deeply about. Try it by going to http://www.carson-city.nv.us/ and clicking on the "Envision Carson City" symbol. Zoning, recreation, transportation, downtown, growth, health care – it's all there.
A great deal of work already has gone into the plan, which has been in the works for more than a year.
But that doesn't mean it's been decided. A framework has been set and the details fleshed out so that people will have substance to which they can respond positively or negatively.
In other words, the upcoming public hearings are the opportunity to shape the plan before it goes to city supervisors, probably in December. Nobody expects you to go to 20 public hearings, but we do expect you – as a taxpayer, voter and resident – to attend at least one.


I know you have probably read several articles or listened to multiple radio talk show hosts and callers give their theory of why Detroit was not chosen as a finalist for the second location for Amazon's Headquarters. Well, here's another take on the decision. At first, I was disappointed. That feeling only lasted for a moment. Detroit has heard the words "no" and the phrase "not right now" on many occasions. Though the sounds of hearing not being ready for a new development can be discouraging, it does not constitute what the city will and shall become nor does it define your worth as an individual.
When others feel we are not ready, discouragement can be an emotion we all have known which can lead doubt to settle deep within our consciousness. We feel like giving up because our idea wasn't accepted on a celebratory level. Awwww, we question ourselves and our ability. We ponder on negativity and believe we should have never tried to attempt to apply for something unimaginable. We question our intelligence and contemplate if we really had the knowledge to pull off a grand scheme that would lead to success. I've been there especially while developing the blog.
Initially, I thought of 100 gazillion reasons why I should not start a blog about Detroit. It was easier talking myself out of writing than eating two brownies and three scoops of ice cream all at the same time. If I asked someone if they wanted to collaborate with the blog and I didn't hear a response, I used this experience to validate my doubt as maybe the concept isn't admirable enough. If I reached for assistance and I didn't receive a reply, I made this to mean the blog and myself aren't well known to others with "real" clout. If I contacted someone for an interview with excitement and they weren't interested, I buried myself in disappointment. However, I had to get to a point where I would no longer accept temporary "no's" and "not right now" as deductive reasoning for me not being an exceptional being with great capabilities. Instead, I started to face these answers head on with the excitement of welcoming a day of sunshine while driving with the sunroof open. Even though you can't envision a bright moment with the words, "Yes, you have much to offer" on the first, second, or twentieth try, it doesn't mean the opportunity will never present itself.
-Let your heart be full of new ventures that will lead you to the possibilities of limitless conversations!

Like any red-blooded human services organization, Perry Wellness Center had been dreading its state audit for weeks. The routine audit required hundreds of man-hours of preparation, in order to ensure that paperwork was appropriately in place and services finely tuned.
We're pleased that our scores reflect our commitment to quality services. Paperwork itself isn't important, but it represents the work we do every day, and we're happy to get an A+ on that!
In an upcoming post, we'll share our favorite part of the audit: actual comments from peers, staff and others about Perry Wellness Center. We loved their candor, humor, and positive attitudes. We think you will, too!

The work of ACT on Alzheimer's® succeeds largely because of the passion and commitment of the partners, supporters, action communities and Minnesotans dedicated to preparing our state for the future.
Identify and invest in promising approaches that reduce costs and improve care.
Increase detection of Alzheimer's disease and improve ongoing care and support.
Sustain caregivers by offering them information, resources and in-person support.
Equip communities to be "dementia capable" to support residents who are touched by Alzheimer's disease.
Raise awareness and reduce stigma by engaging communities.
In 2009, to tackle the mounting Alzheimer's crisis in Minnesota, the Minnesota Legislature charged the Minnesota Board on Aging to establish the Alzheimer's Disease Working Group (ADWG) and make recommendations for policies and programs that would prepare Minnesota for the future.
The ADWG developed a set of recommendations for the Legislature in January 2011. A coalition was formed to focus on implementing the recommendations. Originally called Prepare Minnesota for Alzheimer's 2020 (PMA 2020), it is now ACT on Alzheimer's.


#1: Know Yourself: We each see the world through our own glasses. Removing the lens of our culture—our social, economic, and historic context—isn't easy. In every situation, our internalized perspective tells us what to look for. See how it plays out in this famous experiment.
Did you see the gorilla? If not, you're in good company. This classic experiment found 99% of participants were so focused on watching the ball that they did not see the gorilla. The lesson? We only see what we are looking for and, because of this, we miss a lot. This can be especially true for specialists whose view of the world is shaped by extensive training. Cultural competence asks us to recognize that our glasses create blind spots. It also asks us to look at our own communication style. We all communicate in culturally informed ways, making it possible to offend others without intending to.
Most service providers are unaware that they are acting out entrenched stereotypes. To develop cultural competency, we need to take a hard look at the glasses we've grown up with. We need to recognize that there is much to learn.
#3: Know Your Culture: Every culture has its own set of beliefs—different laws, governing structures, religions or spirituality, and accepted ways of being including different norms around communicating. These affect things as basic as table manners or which side of the road you drive on.
Medical interventions are most successful in treating any given health or wellness concern As a service provider, you are in a position of power whether you realize it or not. Clients are affected by your words, actions, and instructions. Only by becoming aware of your position of power can you begin to develop equitable relationships with Aboriginal people, relationships where differences are acknowledged, but power imbalances are no longer perpetuated.
Resources: Defining Cultural Safety (1:46): This clip explores cultural safety and some behaviour patterns that indicate a client is not feeling safe.
The First Step (2:57): Everyone sees the world through culture-colored glasses, which can cause us to miss the obvious.
Culture is Everywhere (3:10): This clip defines culture and looks at cultural change as it affects First Nations. Health care "culture" is also described along with tips for improving cultural safety.
Why is CS so important? (2:51): This clip examines the experience of Aboriginal women with health services who identify unintentional discrimination as a persistent problem.
#4: Know Your Power: Cultural safety asks us to become aware of our position of power within society. If you are white, educated, and employed, you occupy a position of privilege. The Flower of Power is a simple exercise, by the University of Victoria, that shows how power resides in aspects of life that are easy to take for granted. The petals on the outside of the circle are power positions relative to petals on the inner circle. Where are most of your petals located?
A Syilx person is more likely to take a holistic view of healthcare. For us, all four aspects of life—the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual—are interwoven and these support our wellbeing as individuals, families, and communities. We have traditions of treating many ailments with natural plants or remedies that have proven effective over time, though not through research in a laboratory.


Version 1.0.2 of the WSMAN ZenPack (ZenPacks.zenoss.WSMAN) has been released.
This release is compatible with Zenoss versions 4.2.5 - 6.1, and has the following additional requirements.
Detailed information on this ZenPack is available in the ZenPack Catalog.


This was soooo good! I love shrimp scampi and I love mac and cheese. This is just a little twist on the two. You could definitely taste a little spice in it from the red pepper flakes, which I liked. But if you don't want any spice, leave out the red pepper flakes.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat until foamy but not brown. Stir in the panko, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the panko is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley; set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Strain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Set aside.
Heat the half and half in a large saucepan over medium heat until it just comes to a simmer. Continue simmering until the half and half is reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring, until melted. Whisk in the Italian cheese blend until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Turn off the heat and keep warm.
Meanwhile, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce until the alcohol smell is no longer present and the sauce is a nice golden color, about 2 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and lemon zest and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside.
Add the pasta and shrimp mixture to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Stir in some of the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce, if needed. Season to taste with salt, if needed. Spoon the hot mac and cheese into bowls and sprinkle with the parsley panko.

Couple find closure in Cambodia mission
Article Published by The Lebanon Daily News
DAVID MEKEEL Staff Writer Lebanon Daily News
Standing in the middle of his hometown, Vandy Oum couldn't have felt more lost. "When I got there, I didn't recognize anything," he explained. "I asked people, 'Where's my house?' They said it's not there. It burned down. Everything had burnt down and was rebuilt."
Last month, Oum, his wife, Chhunly, and their daughter, Sulyn, joined a group of doctors led by local ophthalmologist Dr. Albert Alley on a mission to Cambodia. The trip, taken through the organization World Blindness Outreach, was designed to offer much- needed eye surgery to indigent people of the Asian nation. But for the Oums, it was much more.
Both Vandy and Chhunly were born in Cambodia, and both were forced to flee their homeland after communist revolutionaries took control of the country in the mid-1970s. For Vandy, it was a quick escape. A 26-year-old member of the Cambodian army, he was stationed on a boat between Cambodia and Thailand. When communist forces overran the capital in 1975, he and his shipmates quickly fled to the Philippines. He later found his way to America, ending up in Lebanon.
Chhunly, however, wasn't able to escape as easily. As the communists took control of the country, she was forced to leave her home and family behind. She and thousands of other Cambodians were forced to march around the countryside, building roads, bridges and whatever else the communists desired.
She witnessed hundreds of people suffer and die - some of starvation or disease, others at the hands of the communists.
Both Vandy and Chhunly lost large portions of their families. Their homes were destroyed. Their lives forever changed.
In 1979, Chhunly finally made her way out of war-torn Cambodia, also eventually landing in Lebanon. It was here that the two met, brought together by the pain of a shared past and the hope of a bright future. The couple married, had three children, and now, after years of hard work, own several businesses.
But despite the happiness they were able to build in Lebanon, something kept gnawing at their minds. They had to go back. They had to see what had become of their homeland.
After a mutual friend introduced the Oums and Alley, the idea to travel to Cambodia for a mission quickly arose. Alley was a seasoned veteran, making 54 similar trips to countries across the globe.
Before leaving, the Oums had some doubts about making the trip. Chhunly said she wasn't ready to go back, only to be convinced by her husband that it was for a good cause. Safety was also a concern, with their last memories of Cambodia stained in blood.
"It was very hard for me," Chhunly said. "The first day, when I got off the plane, my first feeling was fear."
"We were very scared about safety," Vandy explained. "We thought they'd be looking for us because we were different. But after a day or two, we realized that it was safe. We were able to blend right in."
Their worries eased, the Oums focused on the task at hand.
In five days, the 13-person team performed more than 100 eye surgeries, mostly to rid people of cataracts that had nearly blinded them. Vandy manned the operating room, translating and assisting Alley and the other doctors however he could. Chhunly's position was at the front desk, taking people's names and information, and helping them fill out paperwork - a job that allowed her a glimpse into the lives of Cambodia's poor.
"I heard a lot of survivor stories," Chhunly said. "There was a lot of emotion there when you hear stories like the woman who said she had 13 children who all died."
"I saw her sitting there," Vandy said of his wife. "She looked sad."
"You cannot help but be affected. By the third day, it was really wearing on me. I was sick," Chhunly said. "But he (Vandy) said to me 'You cannot let your emotions get you down. We have a mission. You can't be weak. You need to be strong because these people are counting on you.' So I was. I told myself I came here to help, and I can't get sick. I just had to concentrate on what I'm doing."
Alley and Vandy had plenty of stories to share as well.
Vandy spoke of a grandmother who had severe cataracts in both of her eyes, forcing her to rely on her grandchildren to care for her. After successful surgery, she was elated to discover her sight had returned.
"She was so happy," Vandy recalled. "She said she couldn't wait to get home and take care of her grandkids. All this time they had to take care of her, and now she was able to do the same for them. I couldn't help it, the tears just poured out of my eyes."
Three elderly nuns stuck in Alley's mind. After taking a bus hours to the hospital for surgery, they found themselves able to see but out of money.
"They came all this way and were elated," Alley said. "That's how much this meant to them. They didn't have a place to stay or any way to get home, but they came anyway."
After hearing about their plight, Vandy started up a collection and was able find them a place to stay and enough money for a bit of food and bus tickets home.
For the Oums, the entire experience was liberating. Being able to return to the source of such pain for such a good cause enabled them to finally come to terms with a terrible part of their past.
"It got it out of my dreams and my thoughts," Vandy said. "It had a hold of me for all those years. Now I feel free. The past is away now. I feel so good about it."
Vandy also said he now feels comfortable telling fellow Cambodians that they should try to do the same to find closure.
As for Alley, even though he's done this many, many times before, the experience never fails to have an effect on him.
"It's so humbling to see the reaction of these people. They hug you, kiss you. You've helped them in such a basic way, and they're so grateful, it's almost overwhelming," he said. "It just makes you feel very, very humble."
Alley will head out on his next mission in July when he makes his eighth trip to Ecuador. In November, he will travel to the Dominican Republic for the 15th time. And Cambodia hasn't been forgotten either. The Oums and Alley are already talking about a return trip, although it probably won't happen for two or three years.

The cornerstone of the present building was laid in 1902, with Bishop Ezekiel B. Gephart in charge of service. During the construction, the congregation med in Richards' Hall on Main Street. On completion of the project, first services were held June 9, 1903, by Bishop William M. Bell. Bishop Bell was a product of the Roanoke Classical Seminary, so it was fitting that he officiate. Those present remembered the occasion as a day of great spiritual uplift and blessing.
Of special interest in the new church were the memorial windows, which still exist. One window in the main entrance, called the Students' Memorial, has as its centerpiece a good picture of the old Seminary. Two larger windows in the sanctuary have memorials. The large on to the north ahs a Grand Army of the Republic emblem, a Women's Relief Corps memorial, and a Christian Endeavor emblem. The large window on the east side of the sanctuary has representations of the Holy Bible, cross, dove, and crown.
C.E. Nicodemus was the building contractor, and trustees were S.B. Dinius, P.B. Settlemyer, E.M. Wasmuth, E.E. Richards, and Jacob W. John.
In building the church, the congregation omitted a basement for economy's sake. However, in 1914, one of the Sunday School classes began a drive that resulted in the installation of the basement. The male members of the class actually did a great deal of the physical labor, using picks and shovels and wheelbarrows to remove the earth from beneath the building. Many blistered hands and sore muscles later, they had made a hole large enough in the northwest corner of the building – where the kitchen is now- to admit a horse. The horse, owned by Charles Fosnaugh of Mahon, pulled a scraper to remove the dirt. Later the parsonage was remodeled with installation of electric lights, a furnace, and a bathroom.
After a quarter of a century in the building, the congregation voted to add Sunday School facilities. This program, under the pastorate of Rev. Arthur F. Knepp, began in April 1, 1929, and resulted in the building of six classrooms, two assembly rooms, and discontinuing the use of the hot air gravity heating system by installing the present hot water system. A pipe organ was installed, and the basement was enlarged. The organist at this time was Helen Witherow.
In 1940 Bishop H. H. Fout appointed Rev. Charles White to the Roanoke United Brethren Church, and under his leadership, remodeling was planned and completed. Included where new chancel furniture, alter, lectern, candelabra, and vestments for the choir and clergy. The parsonage was also remodeled; Bishop Fred L. Dennis, D. D., redirected it on Sunday, Jan. 11, 1942.
On June 4, 1944, and outstanding event took place- celebration of the centennial fo the Roanoke United Brethren Church. Preparations included rebuilding the cement steps at the front and side entrances of the church, placing new, large cement walks from the building to the street and new walks along the street, replacing the old walks in front of the building, a new baptismal font, landscaping around the building, rewiring, and regulating the pipe organ. An unknown donor presented new hymnals, and a number of members provided new robes for the choir. New Eucharistic candlesticks were purchased for the altar. The parsonage was renovated inside and painted on the exterior, and other small improvements too numerous to list were made.
In 1946, the Evangelical Church and United Brethren Church met in Johnstown, Penn., where the common German-American heritage had begun, and voted to unite as the Evangelical United Brethren Church. No Evangelical congregation existed in Roanoke, so the only changes for the local body were administrative and minor.
In 1960, during the pastorate of Rev. Alva Ward, a church annex was built consisting of three Sunday School rooms, two restrooms, and a Fellowship Hall on the lower level.
The 20 year old union of the Evangelical Church and United Brethren Church began a transformation in 1966, when at the 41st General Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church, in Chicago, the delegates voted to merge with the Methodist Church. This union became official in April 1968 at a conference in Dallas attended by Rev. John Davis, pastor at the time.
On Sunday, May 12, 1968, the congregation voted to adopt the name Seminary United Methodist Church, and on Sunday, May 19, celebrated the merger with a communion service at Christ's United Methodist Church and a march from that church to the newly named Seminary United Methodist Church. Rev Davis, led the march.
In the summer of 1974 during the pastorate of Rev. Charles Hill, the Noel Richards home near the church was purchased as a parsonage, and in 1975 the old parsonage was razed, making way for a much needed parking lot. Also, in July 1974, wall-to-wall carpeting and new pews and chancel furniture were installed in the church, all of which greatly enhanced the beauty of the sanctuary.
Remodeling and enlargement of the church kitchen began in June 1982. Completed in 1983, the project included new sinks, a new stove with four ovens, a new freezer and refrigerator, steam table and serving table. Memorial funds and the church's United Methodist Women's organization made these improvements possible. Meals could now be served to the public.
Two hundred years of Methodism were celebrated in 1984. Seminary Church joined with Pleasant Chapel, Zion, and Christ's United Methodist for an afternoon of family fellowship on June 3. Rev. Edward Geleske was pastor at that time.
In 1986 a new roof was put on the Fellowship Hall, and in 1991, under the leadership of Rev. Glenda Woodcox, a new console for the pipe organ was purchased and installed for $6,816. Gifts in memory of loved ones from as far away as Florida made this possible. Mr. William E. Stout gave a recital. The console is beautiful and blends very well with the other furnishings.
Also in 1991, a new sound system was installed with $2,000 donated by Mrs. Robert Welker. New steps to the parking lot wer built at no cost to the church – W W Concrete donated the material, Amick Welding furnished the handrails, and the trustees provided the labor.
A history such as this seems to focus predominately on material gains. However, anyone who has been associated with the church has fond memories of people and events that have enriched their lives - a Sunday School class, a teacher, youth groups, choir, a pastor, a sermon, or simply the Christian fellowship that abounds at Seminary United Methodist Church.
The church started as a United Brethren organization and has gone through three name changes, but it has never changed its goal of bringing Christ to the Roanoke community.
