Newly Friends: Selena Gomez and YouTube Star Lilly Singh!
Our November cover star meets one of her biggest fans (and one of our favourites), homegrown YouTube star Lilly "Superwoman" Singh
One of the perks of being a YouTube sensation like Canada's own Lilly "Superwoman" Singh is that not only do you get to meet your ultimate girl crush, you get to sit down and quiz her for your crazy popular channel. Singh's who's an admitted "huge fan" of our November cover star Selena Gomez, played a version of the "Newlywed Game" with her called the "Newly Friend Game" and it turns out the two have a lot in common. The video, posted Monday, already has over one million views and it's pretty clear that these two are fast friends (Selena even invites Lilly to hang with her later!).
Here are five things we learned about Ms. Gomez:
1. Her favourite Taylor Swift song is a tie between "Wildest Dreams" and "Bad Blood."
2. The worst rumour she's ever heard about herself is "Every single one…Are you kidding me? It's made me stronger, I'm like a rock."
3. The emoji she uses the most? The heart.
4. She's terrible at texting back (and math).
5. The song she's most looking to releasing from Revival is "Kill Em With Kindness" because "Lyrically it's just one of the best songs I've ever written."
Watch the full interview below!

The Technomancer Review (PS4)
Do Witchers dream of electric sheep?
Spiders Studio has had a bumpy track record in recent years. While games like the Souls-inspired Bound by Flame and 2013's Mars: War Logs showed hints of promise, an overall lack of polish left these titles largely confined to the bargain bin. While not quite a AAA experience, the studio's latest release, The Technomancer, largely manages to succeed where its predecessors faltered, delivering a thrilling journey to our rust-covered celestial neighbor to unravel a web of secrets and shadowy intrigue and make contact with Earth after 120 years of silence between the settlers of Mars and their distant home world. Though it still showcases its lean development budget at times, The Technomancer's ambitious scale and captivating sci-fi setting serve as compelling reasons to immerse yourself in the game's dark and brutal world.
Set 200 years afer humanity first colonized Mars, The Technomancer puts players in the shoes of Zachariah Mancer, a newly-minted member of the game's titular faction (think Martian Jedi) who can bend electricity to their will and are trained in all forms of combat. Both revered and feared, these versatile soldiers are tasked with keeping the peace on Mars, but are frequently used as pawns for the various corporations and criminal elements who preside over the Red Planet. After discovering a secret that could shift the balance of power on the Martian colonies, Zachariah becomes embroiled in a sci-fi epic full of greedy corporations, secretive agencies, and a brewing civil war in an adventure that borrows heavily from such classics as Bioware's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Quantic Dream's Omikron: The Nomad Soul to CD Projeckt RED's modern masterpiece, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
It's an interesting, if not wholly original setup, and the game's solid writing and excellent worldbuilding do a good job keeping you engaged throughout the roughly 20-hour main story, which takes players from the austere corridors of ultra-modern cities, seedy slums ruled by criminal gangs, forgotten ruins, and the harsh martian wasteland itself.
After creating your character, The Technomancer hits the ground running, promptly introducing players to the various skills that they'll need to learn in order to survive on the hostile planet. While many RPGs force players to choose a particular class to master, here you're offered three unique play styles in the form of stances, which can be swapped between on the fly at any time. For example, the Warrior stance wields a staff and can unleash barrages of rapid-fire blows and area-of-effect attacks, while the Rogue stance offers a balanced approach, allowing you to accost your enemies with both a blade and a gun. Lastly, the Guardian class is a more defensive build, which focuses on using a shield and mace in tandem to hit hard and block oncoming attacks. However, this added power comes at the cost of the dodge ability that the other two stances enjoy. Combined with your Technomancer abilities, which allow you to pummel your enemies with blasts of electricity and even imbue your weapons in lightning for added damage, the game delivers a varied and diverse combat system that gives players lots of freedom to adapt to any given situation.
While it sounds like a lot to take in, the combat is easy to pick up and feels very satisfying in practice. Targeting and switching between targets is seamless, and the combat moves with a great sense of fluidity, even when half a dozen enemies are swarming you and your party. Stylish, slow-motion effects also accent well-timed dodges and strikes, giving the melees an almost Arkham-esque flavor. It's punchy, it's fast-paced. And most importantly, it's fun as hell.
Further fleshing out the Stance system is a vast skill tree, which allows you to unlock new abilities and augment your existing skills, as well as bulk up your knowledge in sciences and charisma, which opens up more avenues for completing the game's myriad quests. For example, having a vast knowledge of science may allow you to discern the cause of a rash of poisonings without needing to venture out for assistance from an outside party, while your charisma skills helps you coerce characters into doing your bidding without the need to resort to bribes or violence.
Over the course of The Technomancer, you'll take on countless quests for numerous factions, some of which are shadier than others. During these missions you'll often be given a number of different ways to complete your objective, and depending on the choices you make you'll directly impact your standing with the game's different organizations. For example, sparing a resistance leader that you've been tasked with killing by the Abundance military forces will cause your employers to question your allegiance, while working with the mafia is generally a good way to ensure pretty much the rest of the planet will hate you. These choices can directly impact the way the story progresses, and can even influence the way members of your party interact with the player. Killing people unnecessarily or taking on jobs for seedier organizations can even cause party members with a more finely-tuned moral compass to abandon the party altogether. However, if you nurture your companions' trust they may ask you to undertake special quests, which further their allegiance to your cause and can even spark romances. Overall, it's really impressive just how much you can influence the game's world and characters, and the game's grand ambitions often overshadow the title's limited budget when compared to the AAA games that serve as its obvious inspiration.
Unfortunately, this B-grade budget does make for some issues that can't be resolved with clever writing or deep mechanics. The Technomancer features its fair share of bugs and glitches that pop up pretty frequently, but thankfully never reach game-breaking proportions. Some minor issues include areas where you can clip straight through the walls of a row of houses, to the occasional cutscene that will play out with an NPC facing the wrong direction. While these are mostly harmless, I did find a particular location where no matter what happened, the gangsters inside a building in the slums would become active and attempt to fight me from inside an area I could not access. These enemies were impossible to face head-on, because when in combat you're unable to open doors. That said, I was to blindly swing and shoot through a solid wall to kill them and ultimately reach my destination. In this same area, even when taking quests from the resident crime lord, his henchman would attack me as if I were an enemy time and time again. Thankfully, these major glitches seemed confined mostly to this one area, and hopefully Spiders will release a patch to address these issues by the time the game hits retail.
The Technomancer features a crafting system, allowing you to whip up health-packs, mines, and focus injectors at crafting tables that are scattered throughout the world. Additionally, you can upgrade your weapons and armor as well, adding various effects to your equipment, such as an added chance to disrupt your enemies attacks, or armor-piercing capability for weapons. While upgrading your weapons is definitely welcome, upgrading your armor feels almost superficial, as enemies dole out the kind of damage you'd expect to see in a Souls game, seemingly regardless of your armor rating. This eventually led to me simply buying the armor that looked the most appealing aesthetically, as any bonuses added through the crafting system seemed entirely negligible due to the enemy's insanely high damage output. That said, the best defense is to master your dodge and shield abilities and to craft a mountain of healing items before setting off on your mission.
Despite being rough around the edges at times, there's a lot to love about The Technomancer. The degree of freedom players are given over the course of the journey is impressive, and will surely appeal to players who cut their teeth on Bioware's most memorable titles such as Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect. Spiders' vision of Mars is a fascinating place, and you'll want to see the journey through to the finish, even if it's a bit too predictable for its own good at times. Those looking for a cyberpunk adventure with a weighty combat system that channels some of the genre's best entries would do well to check this out. And the game has plenty of meat on its bones, with a main story that clocks in at 20 hours, and the side quests can easily add another 10 to 15-hours to the experience.
Overall, The Technomancer is an admirable effort from Spiders that'll scratch that sci-fi adventure itch during these slow summer months, and a great improvement over the game's predecessor, Mars: War Logs. While it's certainly not perfect, the game's fascinating setting, entertaining story and rock-solid combat are enough to make us hope this isn't the last time we see Zachariah Mancer.

"It's a bit surreal to see this project finally come to fruition, but it's been great," says Angela Clarke, il Centro's Museo* Curator, who has been tirelessly working on coordinating this exhibit amongst other events for the past two years. The exhibit, entitled "Società degli Emigrati:** The History of Italian Canadians in Vancouver," is part of Performigration, a global, European Union project spanning over 5 countries and 16 cities.
The exhibit is comprised of photos from the Ray Culos Family Archives and Photos Collection. Ray, the extremely knowledgeable community historian, did the research and was the foundation for the exhibit.
Photos on display included the three main pillars of the Italian community in Vancouver: the Sacred Heart Church, the Silver Slippers (a social venue) and the Italian Cultural Centre. In addition, there were photos of prominent and influential mutual aid societies, showing a glimpse of what the social activities (and outfits) used to be.
The exhibit is part of a week-long series of events in Vancouver, including a video presentation in collaboration with VIVO Media Arts Centre, a national conference in partnership with ICAP, an event with the Collingwood-Renfrew community, and a digital arts series. As a whole, the series looks at what it means to be part of an immigrant community, the impact of immigration, and at the same time, the shift in Italian identity amongst the generations over a long period of time.
The exhibit will be housed at il Centro's Museo until October 30th. For more information on Performigration, visit www.performigrations.eu.

With vaccination suspended, Niger gets hit with a new polio outbreak
Vaccination campaigns have stopped due to the coronavirus epidemic, and polio might be resurging as a result.
in Diseases, Health & Medicine, News, Science
The coronavirus outbreak has stopped a large number of activities across the globe, including essential ones such as immunization campaigns – highly important in Africa to prevent the spread of a wide array of deadly diseases.
Credit WHO
COVID-19 is the topic all around the world, and rightfully so. We haven't been confronted with a pandemic of this scale in modern times, and many of the challenges we must face now are unprecedented.
But COVID-19 isn't the only disease around — all the other culprits are still here.
Niger is currently affected by a new outbreak of polio. Two children were infected with the disease, one of them paralyzed.
"The poliovirus will inevitably continue to circulate and may paralyze more children as no high-quality immunization campaigns can be conducted in a timely manner," Pascal Mkanda, WHO's coordinator of polio eradication in Africa, said in a statement.
Back in December, Niger and a group of West African countries were able to end a polio outbreak that had lasted 24 months. Nevertheless, the new outbreak isn't linked to the one that ended last year, according to the WHO.
The live virus in a polio vaccine can evolve into a form capable of starting new outbreaks among children that haven't been vaccinated, and this is what happened here.
This is especially problematic now, as WHO halted this month all polio vaccination activities until June — recognizing that this would lead to more children affected. In other words, COVID-19 has delayed polio vaccination, and polio might be making a resurgence.
"Niger stopped the previous polio outbreaks by mounting high quality mass vaccination campaigns in 2019. Unfortunately, that will not be possible now as we have suspended the polio mass vaccination campaigns due to the novel coronavirus pandemic," said Mkanda.
Alongside Niger, 14 other countries are struggling to contain their polio epidemics, caused by a rare mutation of the virus in the oral vaccine. The list includes Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, Togo and Zambia.
Eradicating polio requires more than 90% of children being immunized, according to the WHO. But several factors have made immunization difficult, such as low-quality vaccines, weak routine vaccination coverage, and lack of access to some areas.
Affecting mainly children under 5 years of age, polio is a highly infectious disease that can cause paralysis in just a few hours. It's transmitted person-to-person and multiplies in the intestine. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, and vomiting. There's no cure, it can only be prevented.
When children are immunized, the virus replicates in the intestines to build up the necessary immunity and is then excreted in the feces into the environment, where it can mutate. If the immunization coverage in the community is low, then the virus can be transmitted to susceptible populations.
Most African countries have implemented travel restrictions and suspended health activities that don't fulfill WHO's physical distancing recommendations — including mass immunization campaigns. Once the situation permits it, the polio eradication program will start again.

Maurice Strong, a Canadian businessman and diplomat who led two of the world's formative conferences on environmental protection, has joined the Lancaster-based Ecology and Environment Inc. in an advisory role.
"Maurice is a great global leader and we are delighted to be working with him," said Kevin Neumaier, president and CEO of Ecology and Environment. "We view him as an extremely valuable asset to Ecology & Environment's global family of companies, and believe that his extensive experience, environmental leadership and worldwide relationships with respected leaders will benefit our growing global operations."

The Independent Student Policy is based on federal statutory requirements related to Title IV (Federal Financial Aid) eligibility. The university also follows the federal guidelines for the purposes of eligibility for institutional grants and scholarships. Students are classified as dependent or independent for student aid programs based on answers to a series of questions on the FAFSA. The philosophy behind this policy is that students' parents have the primary responsibility for paying for their children's undergraduate education. A student is automatically considered an independent student if he/she meets one or more of the criteria listed below. The following is applicable to the 2019-2020 academic year.
File the FAFSA (and Profile if a new undergraduate student) and leave the parental information blank.
Write a letter to the Appeals Committee of the Office of Student Financial Assistance, explaining the extraordinary circumstances.
Include corroborating statements from two professional adults (who are not family members or GW employees). The supporting documentation must be original signed statements which verify the circumstances you described in your letter. In general, professional adults include clergy members, guidance counselors, teachers or professors, doctors, family counselors, mental health professionals and law enforcement officials.
Notification of the appeal outcome will be sent in writing. If your appeal is successful, we will approve a dependency override and make a correction to the FAFSA. The decision of the Appeals Committee is final.
Student was born before January 1, 1996.
Student is married or separated (but not divorced) as of the date of the application.
At the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, the student will be enrolled in a master's or doctoral degree program (such as MA, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, EdD, or graduate certificate, etc.).
Student is currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, or is a National Guard or Reserves enlistee called into federal active duty for other than training purposes.
Student is a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Student has one or more children who receive more than half of their support from him or her between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020.
Student has dependent(s) (other than children or spouse) who live with him or her and who receive more than half of their support from the student, now and through June 30, 2020.
At any time when the student was age 13 or older, both of the student's parents were deceased, the student was in foster care, or the student was a dependent /ward of the court.
The student is now or was upon reaching the age of majority, an emancipated minor (released from control by his or her parent or guardian) as determined by a court in his or her state of legal residence.
The student is now or was upon reaching the age of majority, in legal guardianship as determined by a court in his or her state of legal residence.
Student was determined to be an unaccompanied youth who was homeless by a high school or school district homeless liaison on or after July 1, 2018.
Student was determined to be an unaccompanied youth who was homeless by the director of an emergency shelter or transitional housing program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on or after July 1, 2018.
Student was determined to be an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or was self supporting and at risk of being homeless by a director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program on or after July 1, 2018.
Student is determined by the college financial aid administrator to be an unaccompanied youth who is homeless or is self-supporting and at risk of being homeless.
** These rules are determined by the US Congress and are enforced by the US Department of Education's oversight over financial assistance programs.
Students previously classified as independent cannot be grandfathered into an independent status on the basis of prior independence.
Likewise, students are not independent solely because they previously depended on state, federal or institutional aid to attend school.
For financial aid purposes, a student may not declare independence due to internal family arrangements, family disagreements, or attainment of "legal age".
Parental unwillingness (rather than inability) to contribute cannot be used to justify a dependency override.
A student's resources or the fact that a student is or is not claimed by the parent(s) as an income tax deduction will not be used to determine independent status.
While it is quite possible for an individual to be self sufficient while working full time, it is very difficult for that same individual to be self sufficient while attending college full time. Therefore, the fact that an undergraduate student under 24 was on his or her own prior to attending GW is not sufficient in itself to change the student to an independent status.
The only acceptable reason for appealing dependency status is a documented severe and unplanned situation which indicates that it would be impossible for the student to obtain financial assistance from their parents. Examples include physical or emotional abuse, severe estrangement, abandonment, parental drug abuse, incarceration, mental incapacity, or another such situations beyond the student's control.

Public Release: 1-Dec-2015
Chapman University named as part of U.S. Army Research Office Grant for Physics
Chapman University is a recipient of an Army Research Office (ARO) grant as part of a larger award to U.C. Berkeley designed to understand the continuous measurement of superconducting quantum bits using microwave fields. The initial award of the ARO grant is more than $4 million over four years, of which $400,000 is subcontracted to Chapman University.
The principal investigator from Chapman University on the project is Justin Dressel, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics. The project is titled the Theory for Continuous Quantum State Tracking and Error Correction, or CQSTEC.
"One of the most promising technologies for quantum computation to appear in recent years uses superconducting quantum bits that are cooled near absolute zero," explained Dr. Dressel. "The most recent research focuses on how to control these quantum bits to avoid common errors -- our proposal will look at how to read and write information to the bits continuously with microwave fields, aiming to improve upon the established error correction methods that are discrete in time."
The experimental team, which includes U.C. Berkeley's Dr. Siddiqi, will fabricate and test new designs for multi-quantum-bit superconducting chips, building on cutting edge work pioneered by the team of Dr. Martinis at U.C. Santa Barbara (now affiliated with Google Inc.), among others. The theoretical machinery necessary to understand and realize continuous error correction for these quantum bits will be provided by the three subcontracting collaborators from U.C. Riverside, University of Rochester, and Chapman University.
Chapman University's role will focus on developing advanced methods for extracting information from continuous microwave signals, including methods for estimating changing evolution parameters in real time, for identifying initially unknown quantum states given constrained estimation resources, and for efficiently tracking the state evolution of correlated quantum bits in the presence of continuous microwave measurements. According to the ARO's website: "The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Office mission is to serve as the Army's premier extramural basic research agency in the engineering, information and life sciences; developing and exploiting innovative advances to insure the nation's technological superiority."

A rabbit from Sutton has made the final of a national competition to find the nation's most remarkable pet survivor.
Two-year-old Charlie caught the judges' attention in the PDSA vet charity's annual Pet Survivor competition after he contracted the killer disease myxomatosis in September 2013.
Vets gave him little chance of recovering from a condition normally fatal for an unvaccinated rabbit.
Alexandria devoted herself to nursing Charlie at home and finally, after two months, he beat the dreadful disease.
For more information on the finalists and how to vote visit www.pdsa.org.uk/petsurvivor.

Q: st-json:write-json - avoid exponent markers for floats (st-json:write-json-to-string
  (st-json:read-json "{\"a\":0.1}"))

Output is not valid JSON:
"{\"a\":1.e-1}"

Desired output:
"{\"a\":0.1}"

I don't see any options or other arguments for write-json-to-string at https://marijnhaverbeke.nl/st-json/
I would still be ok if the number came out a little modified like .1 or 0.10
Update: There is a system variable for float format: "The printer uses *read-default-float-format* to guide the choice of exponent markers when printing floating-point numbers."
According to this example ...
(let ((*read-default-float-format* 'double-float))
  (read-from-string "(1.0 1.0e0 1.0s0 1.0f0 1.0d0 1.0L0)"))

==> (1.0d0 1.0d0 1.0 1.0 1.0d0 1.0d0)

The implementation I'm using (SBCL 2.0.11) has float formats F and D. http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/v_rd_def.htm
I'm not sure how "The printer uses *read-default-float-format* to guide the choice of exponent markers when printing floating-point numbers." ... Is there something wrong with my test below?
 (progn
   (setf *read-default-float-format* 'long-float)
   (princ(st-json:write-json-to-string (st-json:read-json "{\"a\":0.1}")))
   (setf *read-default-float-format* 'single-float)
   (princ(st-json:write-json-to-string (st-json:read-json "{\"a\":0.1}")))
   (setf *read-default-float-format* 'double-float)
   (princ(st-json:write-json-to-string (st-json:read-json "{\"a\":0.1}")))
   (setf *read-default-float-format* 'short-float)
   (princ(st-json:write-json-to-string (st-json:read-json "{\"a\":0.1}"))))

 {"a":1.e-1}{"a":1.e-1}{"a":1.e-1}{"a":1.e-1}
 ==> "{\"a\":1.e-1}"

Thanks in advance for any help!

A: It got nothing to do with *read-default-float-format*.
Using M-. in SLIME, I could see that write-json-to-string calls write-json which in turn calls write-json-element.
write-json-element is a generic function with different methods for different type. method for real is:
(defmethod write-json-element ((element real) stream)
  (format stream "~,,,,,,'eE" element))

That format string is standard Common Lisp, resulting in the behaviour you are seeing.
CL-USER> (format t "~,,,,,,'eE" 0.1)
1.e-1
NIL
CL-USER>

I have no idea why author did that, but if you are stuck with st-json, Just redefine the method as (which will issue a re-definition warning, but ignore that):
(defmethod st-json:write-json-element ((element real) stream)
  (format stream "~F" element))

However, if you could switch to another library, take a look at jzon, it is in latest Quicklisp.

Guardian Couplings, Stieber, Stromag, Svendborg Brakes, Thomson Industries, Warner Electric and Warner Linear will be represented on the stand in Hall A4.305, with brand experts ready to discuss application requirements.
Altra Industrial Motion Corp. gathers leading brands in power transmission as a united group, offering specifiers the option to seamlessly combine products from different manufacturers to create a fully integrated, highly reliable system. The benefits include reduced maintenance as well as a single point of contact during specification. Construction machinery is an area of particular expertise for Altra, which is illustrated by the brands and products which will be present on at BAUMA.
Off-highway vehicles are expected to operate faultlessly in challenging conditions, carrying out the heavy-duty tasks that ensure any project schedule is adhered to. Whether transporting loads, digging deep or moving earth – ensuring the reliability of this equipment is symbiotically tied to success on-site.
Altra Industrial Motion Corp. will be displaying solutions for vertical lift, mining and mobile power equipment applications.
The off-highway vehicle powertrain is vital in achieving this performance in an efficient, safe manner. Minimising shocks throughout the powertrain with couplings such as those offered by Guardian Couplings, or Stromag's newly launched steel spring loaded coupling, can reduce maintenance requirements by providing effective damping. Fan drive clutches and AC compressor clutches from Warner Electric can deliver energy savings while offering total reliability, promoting long term fuel efficiency. Compact, electromechanical heavy duty actuators from Thomson offer integrated electronics and control options to promote space efficiency across a design and enhance user experience. Finally, high performance brakes can provide the raw stopping power required for large machinery.
Cranes lift vast loads, so all designs must be able to take the strain. Applications set within harsh environments such as offshore add further complications, as waves and sea water place increased stresses on equipment. Lifting must also be carried out with precision, ensuring that suspended assemblies and structures can be installed easily and reliably. Altra offers the power transmission solutions that stand up to these demands for any design of crane.
Brakes are an important aspect of any crane, with Altra offering compact, highly reliable devices for tower cranes, boom cranes, automotive cranes and offshore applications. To suit the inherent challenges of lifting at sea, brands such as Stromag offer the specialised NFF brake for the most demanding requirements. In terms of precision control, limit switches can limit the hook lift of a crane hoist for precise movement of loads. Reliability and performance are the minimal requirements for these towering structures.
Unearthing resources from the ground, processing them and transporting heavy loads across long distances places huge strains on equipment. The very process of mining means that power transmission equipment must be able to withstand the biggest shocks and loads the tunnel or pit can conjure. The greater the durability, the more resources that can be gathered.
Each of Altra's premier brands offer specialist solutions to the sector, each is designed with compatibility in mind – meaning that customers can specify brakes, backstops, couplings, gearing etc. safe in knowledge that the drive train will operate efficiently. In some instances the separate brands have shared expertise to provide integrated systems, such as Stieber and Svendborg Brakes' combined RBD backstop and SOBO® IQ system.


Are you a supply teacher, teaching assistant of cover supervisor?
If you are looking for work as a supply teacher in Norfolk please consider registering with 4myschools. You probably want flexibility; to choose where and when you work and want to be paid well for the work you do.
By registering with 4myschools as a supply teacher or teaching assistant you get as much flexibility as you want and after working for 12 qualifying weeks you may be paid to mainscale pay rates.
To register your interest simply click this link to the registration form.
Since 2014 4myschools has been providing supply teacher and teaching assistant services to primary, secondary schools and academies across Norfolk.
The service has been funded through the support of primary and secondary Schools in Essex. It was recognised by the Essex Headteachers that the benefits 4myschools provide to schools in Cambs, Essex, Hertfordshire, and Suffolk should be extended to Norfolk schools too.
This has resulted in 4myschools working with Norfolk schools who have typically had to fend for themselves owing to the large area Norfolk covers and the relatively low number of supply teachers available locally.
The good news is that 4myschools has been working for schools in Suffolk since 2009 and has built up a great pool of talented supply teachers, teaching assistants and cover supervisors who are able to help in schools in Norfolk too. We are building up a core of good teachers that Norfolk schools like and rate as good or better.
The local Norfolk schools are helping themselves by simply referring good teachers to register with 4myschools and through this simple step these teachers are able to work across a multitude of different local schools in Norfolk.
Being a supply teacher in Norfolk provides great flexibility and a sense of achievement. We have many retired teachers working on flexible arrangements through the 4myschools service with Norfolk schools. This benefits the teacher, the schools and the children and we are keen to register more teachers and teaching assistants to help us to expand the services and continue to do our bit in supporting teaching and learning in Norfolk.
There is no obligation and we hold all your information as confidential.


A wall of vivid fake flowers leaves barely enough space to squeeze past the Thai hipsters crowding the narrow passageway. A moment ago, I was browsing leather jackets and trying out goofy spectacle frames for size. The meaty whiff of pet food hits my nose and my ears ring from the whimpers of caged puppies.
Such diversity of retail options is all very well, but I'm trying to track down a coffee table for my apartment, not edibles for my girlfriend's dog. Such is life at Chatuchak Weekend Market, where everything under the blazing Thai sun can be purchased. If you can find it, that is.
Thailand's largest outdoor bazaar, known as "Jatujak"—or simply "JJ" by Thais—sells everything from Beatles cushion cover sets to shark's tooth amulets. Navigating the 35-acre site and its 15,000-plus stalls, however, can be a thankless task.
Vendors in the know haul their wares during the evening lull. "I usually bring in my stock early on Friday in time for the wholesale night market, which starts at 2 a.m.," says Ekawit Chepanukroh, who owns the men's T-shirt stall Farm Story. There's no freight entrance; everything moves through the main gate.
I emerge, blinking, from the pet section with a lingering hiss of cobras and head to an information kiosk for directions. The market is loosely divided into 27 color-coded zones. For furniture and home décor, head to sections 22-26 or to Chatuchak Plaza, a newer section to the northwest.
I weave my way toward a furniture shop called Mango in Chatuchak Plaza. While most stalls require bargaining skills, Mango's sleek, natural wood is fixed-price and beyond my budget.
Thankfully, there's no shortage of cheaper options in Mango's vicinity. Among the hodgepodge, I pick up the perfect rosewood item for a "steal" (USD 100) after shaving USD 40 off the asking price.
Content with my purchase, I graze on paella and down a cold beer at Viva, the market's atmospheric bar. Not only can you get what you want at JJ, you can also get what you need.

Looking to extend yourself in a reading unit or research project?
Have you considered undertaking Honours?
Are you planning to undertake ongoing postgraduate research? If so, Honours is where you begin to build your research skills.
Students who have successfully completed their undergraduate coursework requirements (144 credit points) are encouraged to pursue an additional Honours year. The Honours program is a 48-credit point course, comprising one year for full-time internal and external students, or two years for part-time internal and external students.
Passed units to the value of at least 60 credit points in the discipline in which the candidate wishes to proceed. However, with the approval of the Head of School, up to 12 credit points in another discipline may be substituted.
Attained at least Distinction standard in 18 credit points at 300 level in the subject in which the candidate wishes to proceed.
In the case of study in more than one discipline, passed units to the value of at least 60 credit points in one of the disciplines and at least 48 credit points in the other discipline(s).
Fulfilled any additional requirements prescribed and published by the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
The Honours Coordinator for each discipline can provide further information. For advice on choosing a supervisor and topic for your Honours year, see the relevant discipline links below.
Go to 'Course Rules and Plans' tab of the relevant Honours degree information in the Course and Unit Catalogue for admission information, including prerequisites and entry requirements.
Honours is a 48 credit point course. Full-time students undertake this in one consecutive year, part time students over two years. Honours involves a mixture of coursework and a thesis. The coursework component is a 401H unit, and the thesis component is a 402H unit.
It is important to choose your thesis topic wisely. Generally, you should have a proposal in mind before you even start your Honours program. Ideally, you should have clear idea of the area in which you want to research before you enrol. If you haven't settled on a fairly precise thesis topic, you should talk to your potential supervisors to define the focus of your investigation. This is a more urgent consideration for full-time students, but part-time students should have settled on their topic by second trimester (at the latest). You should not expect your supervisor to provide you with a ready-made topic, although they may suggest lines of enquiry. It is important that you have a real sense of ownership in, and commitment to, your thesis and this is more likely to happen when the topic is of your choosing.
Because your honours thesis must be completed within a fixed period, it is essential that you settle on a topic that can be properly completed in the time available. You cannot afford to ask questions you will be unable to answer, so avoid issues and problems that are too broad. You need to bear several very practical things in mind when deciding on a topic. You must know whether your topic has been covered by existing scholarship and whether there are important, unexplored questions to be asked. You must also be confident that your sources are both available and accessible.
Your Honours degree is a supervised degree. This means that in both the coursework and thesis components you will work very closely with a member of staff who has expertise to supervise in your chosen field. Your supervisor may direct all or part of your coursework. They will certainly supervise your thesis research and writing. In many ways your supervisor is the most important person in your scholarly life during this period because he or she does most to introduce you to academic practice and the requirements of advanced study.
You will be required to maintain close communication with your Honours supervisor throughout your Honours program. This may be take place in person or via email, Skype or through phone conversations.
You must understand what your supervisor can and cannot do for you. An Honours supervisor is an adviser who will try to guide you in your research and writing. The first thing you can expect guidance with is the selection of your thesis topic. It is rare for staff to direct a student to a particular topic; more often a student has an area of interest they want to explore further and sometimes a specific question they want to resolve. Once a topic is agreed your supervisor will usually help you map out a plan of attack and a timetable for your writing, as well as the various elements that will comprise the coursework component of Honours.

Yellowcard: Album (Review)
September 29, 2016 Concert Updater
Photo by Nicolette Cunningham
When a band that holds so many memories and so many amazing songs in everyone's hearts decides to finish their journey, you can expect an incredible last album. That is exactly what Yellowcard has given us with their final, self-titled album "Yellowcard." The ten song full length album comes out today, September 30th, 2016, but many people have already gotten their hands on it via preorder and VIP ticket packages. "Rest In Peace" begins this album with a very memorable Yellowcard sound; the ringing of the violin mixed with strong guitars. That notable sound that one would only recognize as Yellowcard continues in "What Appears," "Got Yours," and "A Place We Set Afire," sticking to their pop/punk ties. Within the album, we get a completely different side to the Yellowcard that we have all seen and heard. In songs like "Leave A Light On," "I'm A Wrecking Ball," and "Fields & Fences" we hear that vulnerability we love to hear from a band. "I'm A Wrecking Ball" has almost a country under-tone which is so different, but still remains sounding like the band. "Fields & Fences," my personal favorite, is truly one of those "you can get back up" ballads. So many people can relate to this song. These beautiful ballads are the perfect goodbyes to their fans. Also on the album are the single the band has been pushing the most, "The Hurt Is Gone", and two more solid Yellowcard songs, "Empty Street," and "Savior's Robes." These songs just scream Yellowcard, the band we all know and love, and what they stand for.
If anything, this album really is a goodbye letter. A letter to all the fans and people who have built memories from what this band has produced. Starting in October, the band will be on their final tour together. Fans will be screaming along the lyrics and this album only shows that these songs are here to stay just like every other Yellowcard album.
This goodbye album couldn't have been a better way to say farewell. Yellowcard has filled our hearts with so many incredible things that we won't forget, from "Ocean Avenue" to "Rest In Peace." We will love you boys forever, thank you for everything you have given us. Best wishes.
If you have a chance, don't forget to go out and see them on tour for the last time.

Some buyers were sure from the beginning but others have struggled with the pool buying decision right until they signed. There is a difference between deciding on whether you want a pool and deciding on which pool do you want. This article explores the first question. Here are some struggles that others have had in deciding whether they wanted a pool and the key decisions they had to make.
Pool Costs and Costs of Maintenance. A 10 minute time investment in reading these articles will help you know what you are getting into and may save you a lot of conversation. Your time is valuable. There is no need to commit to an in home 1-2 hour sales appointment when you don't have a clue what it cost and feel that you may well be wasting your time. These blogs will get you in the ballpark on cost and now you can decide if you want to take the next step and commit more time to the process. Read on.
Priorities. I have found that a pool purchase can cause buyers to examine what is really important in their lives. First, a buyer needs to decide if they have the discretionary funds to buy a pool. Second, however, there are always competing priorities for those funds including retirement, college educations, and other big purchases. Are other more important priorities covered? Third, even if you decide that you have room in your budget for a large discretionary purchase such as a pool, there are lots of ways to spend those funds including boats, vacations and vacation homes, Harley Davidsons, and … you get it…….
Commitment to ones personal situation. I had one situation about 5 years back where there was a lot going on behind the scenes. I had met twice at Fred and Kristine's house and was pretty discouraged. Fred was balking while Kristine seemed all in on building the pool. I had spent a lot of time with them. Fred appeared to be very concerned with the cost. By this time, I had had a lot of conversations with Fred and was developing a pretty good relationship. I asked Fred why, since he had know the cost from the beginning, he was still pursuing a pool but yet balking at spending the money. And I was dumbfounded what he told me. He told me that while the pool was a big expense, it was not the money. It was the commitment. He didn't want to commit to a pool unless he was sure of his commitment to his wife. In the end, Fred recommitted to his wife and bought the pool.
This same issue of commitment to ones personal situation comes out more commonly with regards to whether a buyer intends to stay in their house for the foreseeable future (who wants to spend a bucket of dough on a pool and then move the following year?).
Weighing the benefits and burdens of a pool. Properly utilized, a pool is a great tool to surround yourself with family and friends. It can be magnet for relaxation. I sold a pool to one couple who could not meet with me until after 8 pm in the evening because of their work. We probably had 4-5 8 pm meetings. They bought a pool as a rallying point to take life less seriously and relax. Guess what? I think it's worked!
Here are some key benefits. A pool entertains the kids and can make your house the focus of the kids' gatherings, allowing more supervision and more interaction with your kids. Likewise, what better way to entertain the grandkids? Exercise, cooling down and using the pool as a visual focal point are sizeable benefits also.
Oh but the burdens!!! The cost and the maintenance and the time! The cost is easily identifiable and you will just have to decide if it's worth it. The maintenance burdens can be severely lessened with the right equipment selections and can be almost completely eliminated with weekly service from your pool company! Your pool sales person can more fully describe what your time commitment would be based on your decisions on equipment and weekly service.
Comments or questions? Are you struggling with one of these issues?

SXSW: James Moll's New Documentary to Focus on Young Farmers
8:14 AM PDT 3/11/2013 by Gregg Kilday
James Moll
The documentary filmmaker, who is appearing at SXSW, is producing the project with the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance.
Young farmers will be the subject of James Moll's new documentary, the filmmaker announced today.
Produced in association with the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, Moll's new film, which has not yet been titled, will focus on the next generation of farmers and ranchers as they assume the responsibility of running family farms. It will also look at the latest farming procedures and technologies that are changing modern agriculture.
SXSW: 5 Narrative Films With Buzz
"I've always gravitated toward making films that are unbiased testaments to the subject matter," said Moll, who heads up Allentown Prods., which specializes in non-fiction filmmaking. "It's about telling real stories that will resonate with all generations. With this film, we'll be examining the untold stories of young American farmers, which I truly believe will result in the most timely and impactful film I've ever made."
Moll recently received a Grammy for directing and producing the longform music video Foo Fighters: Back and Forth. He also received the Oscar for best documentary feature for 1998's The Last Days.
At SXSW, Moll is taking part in the session "The Power of Film (To Change the World"), which is scheduled for March 12 at the Austin Convention Center at 12:30 p.m.

Home > News > Golf > Players Best Majors Year
Which Players Have Had the Best of the Majors This Year?
This years' golf season has been a thrilling one, with each of the majors providing drama, intrigue and a different winner to wow fans across the globe.
From Sergio Garcia's maiden Slam win at the U.S. Masters to Justin Spieth's incredible performance on the back-nine at Royal Birkdale, records have tumbled while a group of extremely talented and evenly-matched players have vied for the sport's most coveted honours. So while the sport may lack a dominant performer in the mould of Tiger Woods, it is currently thriving amid fiercely contested tournaments and unparalleled unpredictability.
With this in mind, the question that remains is which players have had the best of this years' majors? Let's take a look:
The Slam Winners: Who Have won the Majors?
Four majors have produced four different winners in 2017, with three of them claiming their first Grand Slam titles during the last 12 months. Sergio Garcia (the U.S. Masters), Brooks Koepka (U.S. Open) and Justin Thomas (the USPGA Championship) all achieved this career-defining honour this year, with the former doing so at the 73rd time of asking. Koepka demolished the favourable Erin Hills course to match the lowest ever score at the U.S. Open when finishing 16 under-par, while Thomas held his nerve in a final round that could have seen any one of six competitors prevail.
The only seasoned winner in 2017 was the exceptional Jordan Spieth, who became only the second player in history (after Jack Nicklaus) to win three of the four majors before his 24th birthday at the British Open in July. Despite producing a stunning performance on the back-nine at Royal Birkdale and being widely tipped to make history and become the youngest ever player to complete the career slam at the PGA Championship, however, Spieth struggled to compete and never looked like challenging Thomas for a serious tilt at the title.
This was a trend that ran throughout the season, highlighting the incredibly competitive and deep pool of players that exist in the men's game in 2017. None of this years' major winners really looked like adding to their hauls at any of the other slams in which they competed, although Koepka did claim a top-10 finish at Royal Birkdale and Thomas also came 10th at the U.S. Open earlier in the year. Spieth also tied for fourth at Augusta, although the enigmatic Garcia has struggled for form ever since his monumental U.S. Masters win back in April.
Which Other Players Managed to Impress Without Winning?
The competitive nature of the modern field is also reflected by the performers of other players, who acquitted themselves well at certain slams despite not being able to lift a major title. Take the world number three Hideki Matsuyama, who recovered from a disappointing performance in the Masters to finish joint-second with Brian Harman in the U.S. Open two months later. He played superbly at Erin Hills, where even a par final round could not prevent him from finishing 12 under-par and pushing Koepka right until the end.
He was also one of the six players to contend for the PGA Championship during the final round, ultimately tying for fifth with a respectable five under-par. A second round 64 was the highlight for Matsuyama, whose final round struggles once again meant that he fell just short of claiming a richly-deserved and surely imminent first major.
World number 13 Matt Kuchar may also feel unlucky not to have claimed a major this year, particularly after pushing Spieth so close at the British Open. Were it not for Spieth's incredible run during the last five holes (which included an eagle at the 15 and marked a phenomenal comeback given his tumultuous bogey at the 13th), Kuchar would have undoubtedly won the title and can ultimately be proud of finishing second with a score of -9. Kuchar also tied for ninth at the PGA Championship, so he has certainly show his pedigree throughout 2017.
There should also be a special mention for Ricky Fowler, who shone at this years' majors despite not claiming a title. The world number 10 started the year well with a third place finish at the Masters, finishing -5 and just a shot behind the play-off pair of Thomas and Justin Rose. He then tied for 5th on -10 during an exceptionally low scoring U.S. Open, before closing this year with a fifth place finish in the PGA Championship. Fowler was another who had a chance of winning in North Carolina, but he can certainly make an argument for being the most consistent player at this years' majors.
Falling Short: Who has Disappointed at this years' majors?
While some players may have excelled this year, others have struggled in an increasingly competitive environment. Rory McIlory is one such performer, as despite tying for fourth with Rafa Cabrera Bello at the British Open (the Ulsterman managed to finish on -5), he failed to record another top-10 finish at any other major. It is now three years since he last won a major, with the world number four unable to replicate his consistent tour performances on the biggest and grandest of stages.
World number one Dustin Johnson is another who has underperformed, although he was unable to compete in the Masters having injured his back the day before the event. He was one of several elite names (including Rory McIlroy) to miss the cut at the U.S. Open, which will have been hugely disappointing given that he was the defending champion. He also underwhelmed at Royal Birkdale and during the PGA Championship, although he has maintained his number one ranking by the virtue of consistent tour performances.
Which Players have Performed Most Consistently at Majors this year?
Ultimately, all four of this years' major winners will look back on 2017 with immense satisfaction. Spieth, Koepka and Thomas can also point to the superior consistency that they showcased at these events, while Fowler, Matsuyama and the unlucky Kuchar have also performed exceptionally well at Grand Slams without being able to achieve their ultimate objectives.
Only time will tell whether these players can sustain their form next season, or if McIlroy and Johnson can reclaim their place at the top table of international golf. One thing that we can rely on is that next years' majors will be even more keenly-contested, with a field of 15 to 20 players capable of winning Grand Slam tournaments.

Antonio Stella fue un pintor italiano de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, afincado en Valladolid (España). Su apellido puede encontrarse en los documentos  con la variante castellanizada de Estela. Realizó trabajos de encargo —lienzos de variados tamaños— para diversos lugares de Castilla. También entre su producción se han encontrado dibujos y un mural con  la técnica de grisalla.  Otorgó testamento y murió en 1591 en Valladolid, ciudad de la que se declaraba vecino.

Biografía
Hasta finales del siglo XX no se conocía gran cosa sobre la procedencia y la vida de este pintor. Se tenía la certeza de que era extranjero pues el propio Stella, viviendo en Valladolid, se calificó como «pintor extranjero estante en esta villa». Algunos historiadores extranjeros le consideraban directamente español o de escuela española; otros como Elías Tormo y Diego Angulo especulaban sobre su  procedencia de Malinas o de Francia. El historiador García Chico contempló la posible llegada de Stella a Valladolid alrededor del año 1586, basándose en el conocimiento que se tenía del alquiler de una vivienda en ese año, en la «calleja del Almirante», propiedad de la familia Villasante.

A finales del siglo XX y tras unos rigurosos trabajos de investigación salieron a la luz documentos esclarecedores, en especial el descubrimiento de un traslado del testamento del artista. En estos documentos se hace referencia a su persona como «pintor romano», «roman pintor», «pintor patricio romano».

Gonzalo de Villasante era Arcediano de Tordesillas y Canónigo de Valladolid y tenía su domicilio en esta ciudad. Debía unirle una gran amistad con el pintor Stella pues fue su principal testamentario y depositario de sus últimas voluntades. En su testamento Stella hace mención, entre otros asuntos, de obras concertadas y no pagadas —la mayoría sin localizar hasta la fecha—, de sus propias deudas y de los murales en grisalla realizados en el monasterio de Palazuelos. Hace alusión también al florentino Benedetto Rabuyate que por entonces vivía en Valladolid pidiéndole que se ocupe de tasar «... los papeles, pinturas e colores que tengo hechos y empeçados e acavados de diferentes personas...», refiriéndose a él como «... persona que lo hará con amistad e conciencia e lo que él dijere e declarase que bale, eso sea...» A través de la lectura del testamento se puede adivinar el carácter y manera de ser de Stella que se manifiesta como persona afable, amigo de sus amigos y muy interesado y cariñoso con su sobrino, su única familia.

Obras

El pintor estuvo activo en Castilla en los últimos años del siglo XVI. A juzgar por las obras conservadas y analizadas, se le supone especialmente retratista.

En la capilla de San Segundo de la catedral de Ávila se encuentra uno de sus lienzos considerados como de mejor calidad artística. Es un retrato del obispo Jerónimo Manrique de Lara que fue el fundador de dicha capilla. El obispo estuvo en Valladolid como Visitador de la Chancillería en el año 1590 que es la fecha que puede leerse en el lienzo junto a la firma del pintor. El retrato se colocó en la capilla de San Segundo para su ornato, pero en 1648 el Cabildo lo trasladó y lo instaló sobre el sepulcro del obispo que había sido enterrado allí en 1606, situado en el muro del Evangelio. En el siglo XVIII se renovó la capilla y se encargó en 1712 un lujoso marco a Marcos Tejada, maestro de arquitectura, por el que se pagó 470 reales. El lienzo mide 1,80 por 1,02 m. Representa al obispo con ropa talar, de pie y de cuerpo entero. Tiene un rico marco dorado cuyo recuadro hace un quiebro en la parte de la cabeza y sobre el quiebro se muestra el escudo de armas del personaje.

Stella tuvo como cliente en Valladolid a otro miembro de la familia de los Manuel y Lara: Juan Manuel de Lacerda, ex–obispo de Zamora y ex–obispo de Sigüenza, que por entonces tenía su residencia en Valladolid en la calle del Empecinado nº 1. En octubre de 1587 firmó con él un documento por el que se comprometía a pintar cuatro lienzos, tres sobre los temas de Nacimiento, Resurrección y Espíritu Santo y otro sobre la conversión de San Pablo; Stella recibió en pago 200 ducados. Estos lienzos pasaron en herencia a Juan Manrique de Lara,  y según consta en los archivos, «... estando como su heredero [del obispo Juan Manuel] y testamentario, tenedor y poseedor de sus bienes y de los dchos quatro [sic] lienzos, no quería pagar los cien ducados».

Por el mencionado testamento se sabe de la existencia de otros lienzos, en paradero desconocido por el momento:
Una Magdalena, encargo del monje bernardo Juan de Salaçar.
Retrato de Luis de la Cerda, tasado en 200 reales que se reclaman a su viuda Catalina Manrique (sic).
Un retrato encargo de «un fulano de alegría que bive en León»; quedan sin pagar veintitrés reales.
Se nombra en esta relación la pintura que hizo para la catedral de Palencia con el tema de San Juan Evangelista y San Bartolomé. Este lienzo se conserva formando parte del retablo del siglo XVI que está en la nave de la Epístola.

En otras cláusulas da a conocer su compromiso con el monasterio de Palazuelos en cuya sacristía conocida como «chirola» había realizado unas pinturas murales con la técnica de grisalla. Al parecer, en el momento de la escritura del testamento el pintor tenía algunas deudas de material de trabajo y por parte de los frailes también las había.
Los últimos hallazgos del pintor han sido dos dibujos con temas de San Jerónimo penitente (firmado) y el de Moisés ante el faraón.
