Chloe Peacock started gymnastics when she was 5 years old and is now in year 7 at jack Hunt School. A few weeks ago she did a competition at Witham Hill in Lincoln against 13 other gymnasts and got gold for bars and on 4th November she acheived the trophy for Overall Level 4 Junior Champion with a fantastic Gold for Beam and Silver for floor, vault and bars.
Chloe attends Spiral gymnastics - Bretton, where she is now a Squad gymnast. She has mastered a range of moves including straight full twist, half-on, half-ff, backwards walkover, back flicks and upstarts. During her weekly training - approx 11 hrs a week - she is polishing up her standing tuck back and giants. Her training continues through half term and holidays.
Recently the group have started a new piece called R & C ( range and conditioning ), this is where the gymnast will perform a set of moves showing their flexibility and body strength.
Chloe would love to compete in the Olympics and was inspired by the recent events. Chloe's role models are Beth Tweddle, Louis Smith and Hannah Whelan. She knew of these gymnasts before the Olympics and was even more excited to watch them compete during. Chloe is not sure yet what she would like to do as a career yet, but wants it to involve gymnastics or something to do with sports. I sure there are more medals coming Chloe's way as she progresses through her moves.

For adults who want the warm companionship of a cuddly pet without the care and feeding, we recommend these two lovable robot pet companions from Joy For All by Hasbro.
You're buying a toy, for tricks and fun.
For years, researchers have known that pets can be effective in combating loneliness and depression. Pets also provide much-needed companionship for older persons with dementia and other age-related cognitive problems.
Recently, experts have discovered something else equally amazing. It is not only live pets that offer this benefit, pet robots also make for good companions.
For individuals who cannot or don't want to get a real pet, buying a robot companion pet is a great next alternative. It Robot pet companions confer many of the same benefits as a real pet, but without the need to feed it or take it to the vet.
Joy For All by Hasbro sells two robot companion pets that are perfect for adults.
There is the adorable Tabby Cat and the equally lovable Golden Pup.
The most notable thing about these robot pets is how real they look and feel. Instead of a hard exterior that most toy robot pets have, these ones are covered with synthetic fur.
When you interact with them, you realize they are more than just good looks. They have very realistic behavior and sounds too.
Customer reviews are mostly positive and our assessment of these two beautiful robot pets is equally favorable. Read on for the full review.
Many customers report that the older loved ones to whom they have gifted these pets have made a strong connection to them. Because of the furry skin, they feel like they are holding actual pets.
The sense of warmth and friendship they provide is simply amazing.
Not only do they feel real, they also look the part. Everything from the paws to the cat's whiskers and the dog's droopy ears looks very realistic. From a distance you could easily conclude it's a pup or cat snoozing on the chair.
The real magic of these robot pets comes in when you interact with them. They both respond when you pet them on their head and ears. The cat even rolls over to present its belly for rubbing while making soft purring sounds. The pup barks excitedly.
Both pets also have beating hearts. Place your finger on their chests and you can feel the realistic pulses.
While these actions are not exactly like those of a real cat or dog, they are close enough to make your heart melt. The best part is that the dog will not get up later and eat your socks. You can cuddle for as long as you want.
Many older persons cannot keep up with the care needs of a real pet. Feeding, bathing and taking it for walks is a lot of work.
Joy For All pets are care-free. Apart from changing the batteries and brushing the skin every once in a while you do not have to do anything.
What could be better than that? You get most of the benefits of a pet but without any of the work. This is one of the reasons why you should consider getting a robot companion pet instead of an actual pet.
It is not just adults who need companionship. The Joy For All dog or cat can make a good friend for your kids. The soft furry skin makes them especially good for cuddling when they sleep.
In any case, the manufacturer stipulates a 5 to 105 years age range. If you already got one of the playful toy robotpets for your kids, consider adding one of these gentler pets to their collection.
As with any other robot pet the ultimate limitation, at least for now, is that it is a machine. It will not be as playful or interactive as an actual pet. The pup will not jump on your chest and lick your face nor will it do many other things a real puppy can do.
But it is important to acknowledge that a lot of development has taken place. Robot pets are getting more realistic which has translated into better interactions with their owners.
One other issue to note is that the pets are not as strong as they seem. Remember these are made mostly for adults not as toys for kids.
If they are held too tight, some parts could break off. Something to keep in mind and perhaps pass along if you are gifting the pet to someone.
Both robot companion pets use 4 x 1.5V Alkaline Batteries. They are included together with the purchase. Refer to the usage guide for instructions on how to install and remove them. You'll need a screwdriver.
Never use stain removers or detergents to clean the pets. A gentle brushing will do. If there is a stain, use a damp cloth to wipe it off.
Both the pup and the cat weigh 4 pounds each. This is slightly heavier than robot pets for kids but light enough to be portable. So if you are going somewhere for a few days, don't forget to bring the pet along for company.
Both pets come with a comprehensive care guide included. They will tell you how to turn the pet on and off and the best way to interact with it. In it, you will also find instructions on how to keep your pet safe and in good shape. Refer to the guide if you need help with anything regarding one of the pets.
It is not often that words like warmth and companionship are associated with robots. But Joy For All robot companion pets can only be described that way.
I would have loved to see more features and a bit more playful side to the pets – why not include a few cute expressions and tricks, too?
But for most owners, these pets' gentle character will be perfect.
Pick the snuggly cat if you love the meows and purring or the sweet GoldenPup if you are dog person.

There is a surprising number of Star Wars patches out there, and like this one, many if not most of them are actually fan-made (or fan-commissioned at least). Indeed, patch collecting is a full-fledged sub-category of Star Wars collecting. Aside from this one, I only have a couple: the Jabba the Hutt Boy Scout Jamboree patch, and the "69th Imperial Dewback Cavalry" patch, which features Oola. In a way, they're kind of a strange collectible since I'm positive that the great majority of them are never actually used as patches. But the embroidery makes them little pieces of artwork, so I guess it's kind of like how collector plates are no longer actually used as plates. If you're interested, I found the panel about patch collecting at Celebration V to be pretty informative. You can watch it on Youtube: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4.
Anyway, this one appears to have been made by some fans in Sweden (or at least that's where I got mine from). It features the art from the "Crumb Bomber" which is a gunship from the prequels with a picture of a kowakian monkey-lizard on the side, similar to the art that was on WWII bombers. At the top is the message "laugh this off" in Aurebesh.
I think these were actually officially commissioned by Lucasfilm's Marketing team as part of a Clone Wars Comic-Con promotion several years ago.

The story behind 'Scabby the Rat,' NYC's symbol of unionized labor
Posted On Wed, July 12, 2017 By Devin Gannon In City Living, History
Photo courtesy of Big Sky Balloons
Despite a nationwide decline in union membership, New York City continues to defy this trend. The number of city workers who belong to unions has risen for the last three years in a row, growing from 21.5 percent of all workers to 25.5 percent in 2016. And because of this high number of unionized employees, city residents have become even more familiar with Scabby the Rat–one of the most recognizable symbols of unions. The giant inflatable rodent, with its sharp buck teeth and beady red eyes, has been a staple of union construction protests in NYC and across the country for decades, and if there's a development project that enlists nonunion labor in New York, expect to see Scabby out on the street.
Union rat balloons courtesy of Big Sky Balloons
For over 40 years, NYC unions have used rats as a symbol of protest. Workers who used to replace union workers during a labor strike were historically called "rats" or "scabs," explaining the origins of the moniker. The first reference in print of using an inflatable rat at a union protest appeared in a 1976 New York Times article about a sanitation worker strike. However, it wasn't until 1990 that the inflatable Scabby the Rat as we know it today came about.
Peggy and Mike O'Connor, who own Big Sky Balloons and Searchlights Inc., can be credited with designing the menacing looking rat. The Illinois-based company owners told Vice about the first time an organization called them seeking an inflatable rat. The idea first came from organizers Ken Lambert and Don Newton from District Council 1 of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers. "Mike and the organizers were going back and forth, saying, 'We need it more snarly,'" Peggy said. "They wanted a mean, ghastly looking kind of rat." Since then, the design of Scabby remains the same.

While the original Scabby design is the most popular, the O'Connors have developed a variety of protest balloons for unions to employ. There are currently seven different sizes of Scabby; a six-foot rat costs $2,585 and a 25-foot rat costs $9,295. In addition to customizing Scabby–customers can choose different colors and long or short claws–Big Sky Balloons sell "fat cats," "greedy pigs," and "union bug" inflatables.
And Scabby isn't going anywhere. In 2011, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that Scabby represents a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. Later in 2014, a federal judge in Brooklyn backed the right of local laborers' union to use the rat in a protest. Today, Scabby (who has Twitter account devoted to him @ScabbyTheRat) can be found at strikes, protests and outside of places where unions want to direct their message.

Mold and Bacteria Services | Sierra Environmental Testing and Consulting Inc.
Mold growth and airborne spore contamination in indoor environments is not a new condition however due to more recent studies and the resulting understanding of the health affects of mold in indoor environments, the response and handling of mold in indoor environment has changed. Water damage, floods, excessive humidity are just a few sources in which moisture is introduced into an environment that is just waiting for the opportunity to thrive. While mold and mold spores are ubiquitous, meaning everywhere, the excessive accumulation of mold or mold spores in an indoor environment can have short and long term health affects if not responded to quickly, properly and precisely.
Sierra Environmental Testing and Consulting Inc. has over 12 years of experience in water damage and fungal damage assessments. From source inspections, sampling and reporting to remediation plans and post remediation assessments, Sierra Environmental Testing and Consulting Inc. utilizes "State of the Art Techniques" and can handle all your consulting and project management from start to finish in order to save time and money and ensure proper compliance and work procedures by the remediation contractor.
Contamination resulting from sewage intrusion or animal and rodent feces is common and considered to be a Bio-hazard. Appropriate measures and work practices should be employed during a bacterial remediation project to ensure both worker and occupant safety. Sierra Environmental Testing and Consulting Inc. can conduct preliminary assessments to determine the category of contamination as outlined by the IICRC in the S-500 and S-520 standards. If contamination is identified, Sierra Environmental Testing and Consulting Inc. will identify the areas, develop a scope of work and conduct post remediation assessments after the work has been completed.
In the event that a bio-hazard situation is allowed to sit for 48-72 hours or longer, mold growth and contamination may also become a problem.

Another small end grain board from an old hardwood folding TV table. I think it's Oak but don't quote me. I'm always amazed how much time and labor goes into creating end grain projects…not to mention a ton of glue. Sure looks nice when completed though.It isn't fancy, just simple and "usable". It's about 8' by 12" and treated with butcher block conditioner.
Nice reuse of the wood in that cutting aboard!! good job on it..!
