'Children should not be having children' - health minister

Bushbuckridge – Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has warned that girls who leave school at an early age are subjected to abuse.
"Currently there are far too many girls who leave school early and are subjected to violence, coerced sex, as well as falling under the trap of teenage pregnancy, at a risk of contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases," said Motsoaledi.
Motsoaledi was speaking to the community of Thulamahashe in Mpumalanga on Tuesday, during the first day of the three-day Rotary Family Health Days campaign.
"As a community you need to work together in ensuring the well-being of girls and young women. This also involves men and all the other key populations within the community.
"I call on all healthcare workers to provide young people with all the health services that they need. These should be provided without judgement by health workers, especially sexual and reproductive health services such as contraception, condoms and HIV testing, as well as post-violence care," he said.
'We need to do much better'
He said that Bushbuckridge is one of the 22 sub-districts that the health department has prioritised to have intensive engagement with young people.
"Interventions have already started to yield some benefits, as we have seen a decrease in the number of deliveries in girls [18 years old] and younger. In 2015, 1 417 girls under 18 in this sub-district had babies. In 2016, this figure decreased by 14% to 1 222.
"Clearly, while this is a start, we need to do much better. Children should not be having children," he said.
"The three family days will help us to reduce HIV by testing and making sure people know their status. This will help them get on treatment as soon as possible if they test positive.
"Sexually transmitted diseases will also be reduced as condoms will be distributed," said Motsoaledi.

Food bank programs for seniors provide food to those in need at or near their home. Next to children, seniors are the most vulnerable group at risk of hunger.
The Capital Area Food Bank participates in the Commodity Supplemental Food Program within both the District of Columbia as Grocery Plus and within Montgomery County, MD as My Groceries To Go! In DC, Grocery Plus is a combination of the USDA Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) and the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program. Both programs encourage seniors to remain active by providing a variety of nutritious foods needed for a healthy diet.
The monthly package provides 30-40 lbs of healthy groceries to seniors aged 60 or over who live in the District of Columbia or Montgomery County, respectively, and meet income guidelines.
Fresh produce is available for DC participants at the East Capitol Walk-In Center and Montgomery County participants receive eight pounds of fresh produce each month.
During the summer months, Grocery Plus provides DC participants with farmers market vouchers through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Vouchers are redeemable for produce at participating area farmers markets. Produce Plus checks and staple fresh fruits and vegetables are also available to DC participants picking up at the Grocery Plus Walk-In Center.
Grocery Plus and My Groceries To Go! is open to DC and Montgomery County residents who are aged 60 or over and meet income guidelines. Please see the table below for income eligibility by household size.
*Income documents must be issued within the past 24 months.
Following program enrollment, participants in both DC and Montgomery County are required to confirm their contact information, income and desire to continue in the program. Participants that do not regularly pick up their grocery packages may be subject to termination if participation is inconsistent. Applicants that do not feel their application was properly reviewed may request an appeal. Likewise, participants that believe they were wrongly terminated may seek out an appeal with the Capital Area Food Bank.
Grocery Plus and My Groceries to Go! participants may designate up to two "proxies" on their application. Proxies are relatives or friends of the participant that are willing and able to pick up the food package on behalf of a participant. They must be pre-registered as a participant's proxy, and must present their ID to collect their grocery package.
For more information on CSFP in DC and Montgomery County, organizations looking to host the program can call the CAFB main line at 202-644-9880, fax 1-888-662-6277, or send an email to csfp@capitalareafoodbank.org or mg2g@capitalareafoodbank.org.
Individuals can also learn more about the program or enroll directly at the CAFB Grocery Plus Walk-In Center listed below.

Home/Latest News/STOCK WATCH: Has Martin Sorrell set up a blockbuster deal?
STOCK WATCH: Has Martin Sorrell set up a blockbuster deal?
Sir Martin Sorrell, the ad man who built WPP into a multi-billion-pound marketing giant, is said to be on the cusp of launching his boldest deal yet.
Last week reports suggested Sir Martin, whose new vehicle is called S4 Capital, spent the summer tending to his 'lemons and oranges' at his home in Belgravia. But that could be a smokescreen.
Gossips claim Sir Martin has in fact been beavering away on something big, possibly his most eye-catching takeover deal since launching S4 Capital in 2018 after he left WPP in acrimonious circumstances.
Sir Martin has hinted that his ambition is to overtake WPP one day
Details of the mooted deal have not yet leaked out. But there have been a few signs that S4 Capital is putting itself in a position to move.
In the summer, it carried out a £116million equity fundraising which will have given Sorrell more firepower to carry out bigger bids. So far it has launched more than ten takeovers of digital ad agencies to build a group worth nearly £2billion.
Sir Martin has hinted that his ambition is to overtake WPP one day, and punters expect his next deal to be a blockbuster.
S4 Capital, whose shares closed the week at £3.72, declined to comment.
Avacta Group
The talk in the City is that the boss of Avacta Group is involved with Operation Moonshot – the Government's programme to introduce same-day mass testing for Covid-19.
City sources said widespread rumours suggest that Alastair Smith, chief executive of testing firm Avacta, is heavily involved in the £100 billion scheme to deliver 10 million tests a day by next year.
Shares in Avacta have been on a tear since the beginning of the year after it emerged that it is busy developing a ten-minute home saliva test for coronavirus.
And it has seen several high profile investors take stakes in the business. These include Umar Kamani, the son of Mahmud Kamani, the founder of online fashion giant Boohoo.
The veteran retailer also struck a distribution deal with Avacta to sell the tests online once they are approved by regulators.
On Friday, Avacta Group's shares rose 6p to £1.64.
Clipper sails to £500m target price
Rumours abound that one of the bidders eyeing Clipper Logistics is weighing a £5.50-a-share offer, valuing the online fulfilment business at more than £500million.
Last week, it was reported that private equity firms Cinven and CVC Capital Partners had been evaluating Clipper Logistics with a view to making an offer for the Leeds-based company which started in 1992 with just three people and a driver. Now it has 8,000 employees at 43 distribution centres with a fleet of more than 470 vehicles.
The interest comes after the chairman and founder, Steve Parkin, teamed up with Sun Capital to take the company private earlier this year.
Talks with Sun Capital broke down and the buy-out shop backed out of a deal.
On Friday, Clipper Logistics shares fell 7.8p to £4.72.

Q: Django - How to manipulate Form data before it gets saved to model? here is my views.py
`
def CreateCourseView(request):

    TeeFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Golf_Course, Golf_Tee, form=AddTeeForm, extra=1,)

        teeformset = TeeFormSet()
    return render(request, "Courses/add_course_form.html", {'teeformset': teeformset,'course_form': course_form,})

`
here is a shortened view of my models.py
`
class Golf_Tee(models.Model):
    # choice list of index values
    INDEX = [
    (1, 1),
    (2, 2),
    (3, 3),

    hole_2_yardage = models.IntegerField(default = 0)
    hole_2_index = models.IntegerField(choices=INDEX, default = INDEX[0][0])

`
I'm trying to not have users enter in the total yardage, when they are already entering yardage for each hole. What I would like to do is, take the values of hole_1_yardage + hole_2_yardage, and have the sum of that get used for yardage.
I tried using cleaned_data to get the values, but it didn't seem to save to the model.

A: You can do the following: using clean. Check the fields hole_1_yardage and hole_2_yardage, if they are not empty, then reset the value of yardage, regardless of the fact that there is already a value there.
In this case, the GolfForm form class is created based on the Golf_Tee model. The form class is in the forms.py file:
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django import forms
from .models import student
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError

class GolfForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Golf_Tee
        fields = '__all__'

    def clean(self):
        cleaned_data = super().clean()
        hole_1_yardage = cleaned_data.get('hole_1_yardage')
        hole_2_yardage = cleaned_data.get('hole_2_yardage')

        if hole_1_yardage!= None and hole_2_yardage!= None:
            cleaned_data['yardage'] = hole_1_yardage + hole_2_yardage

As a parent, getting a call that your child is in legal trouble can leave you feeling helpless, anxious, and unsure of the best way to handle the situation. When that legal trouble involves underage DUI charges, there are certain things you can do immediately to lessen the long-term effects. It is important to know that the state of California has a zero tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving. When probable cause exists, California statutes authorize law enforcement to detain any person under the age of 21 and request that person to submit to a test, which will determine BAC levels.
Juvenile DUI violations in California are treated much the same as for adults, meaning the penalties can be quite severe even though the threshold for being impaired is 0.02 for minors and 0.08 for adults. Further, California law provides enhanced penalties for juveniles charged with DUI when there are open alcoholic containers found in the car. Your child could be facing serious DUI penalties and consequences, as well as a separate conviction for having an open container of alcohol in his or her car. In other words, your child is in serious trouble and requires immediate experienced legal assistance.
If your child has been arrested for DUI, it is imperative that you discuss your child's case with an experienced Oakland DUI defense lawyer as soon as possible. Call the Oakland Criminal Defense Lawyers at the Law Offices of Nabiel C. Ahmed today. He can meet you and your family immediately to begin building a solid defense against these serious charges. Your child's future depends on it. Call today at (510) 907-6600 or fill out our confidential contact form for more information.

Whenever I do my talks, it's hard for me to not include two plants that all gardeners should have. They are White Gregg's Mistflower and Almond Verbena. No other plants attract beneficial insects like these do. Here's more information about these two easy-to-grow perennials.
Gregg's Mistflower Eupatorium wrightii (Ageratina wrightii), Blue form is Eupatorium or Conoclinium greggi.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: Deciduous shrubby perennial. Lacy perennial with delicate lavender flowers from July to October. Does well in sun or light shade. Attracts butterflies. Spreads by rhizomes. Should be pruned to 3" after first hard frost. White mistflower is a low-growing, spreading shrub with intricate leafy branches that bear clusters of fragrant white flowers at their tips in September and October.
HABIT: It grows on rocky limestone hills and slopes in the Guadalupe, Chisos and Davis Mountains in the Trans-Pecos. Most Eupatorium species like moisture, but E. wrightii is more drought tolerant than most, although it may need watering during the summer in dry areas. White mistflower's profuse blossoms attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Its small stature makes it most appropriate for gardens. Heavy shearing in the winter will promote a denser shape and more flowers the following year.
FLOWER COLOR: white but there is a blue variety as well.
BLOOM: late summer through fall.
FRUIT CHARACTERISTICS: dry five-angled achenes.
Height: 10' - 15'. Spread: 8' - 10'.
NOTES: Native of Argentina, it has an upright habit with slightly weeping, sometimes ungainly branches. In mild winter areas, the mature plants reach 15 feet in height and 6 feet in width. At the branch tips are highly fragrant, delicate white flower spikes which sway gracefully at the slightest breeze, sending their aroma wafting over great distances. The buddleia-like flowers are produced in cycles from early spring through summer to fall. The wonderful flowers are a magnet to butterflies, bees, wasps and other nectar feeding pollinators.


The following description is provided for informational purposes. If you have any further questions about this program, or would like to request a copy of the complete set of Rehab Policies, please call the Community Development office at (336) 222-5070.
the after-rehab value of the home cannot exceed 95% of HUD's Maximum Housing Value for Alamance County. The 2017-2018 maximum after-rehab value is $143,450.00.
a family member or buyer that does not qualify for a loan assumption must pay off the remaining outstanding balance prior to title transfer.
The HUD income limits referred to herein are those limits prepared by HUD according to the United States Housing Act of 1937.These limits are revised annually. Our program will use the latest limits available at loan approval.
In structures built before 1978, the property owner must agree to comply with the lead-based paint regulations. The City will pay up to $5,000 for lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments, lead-based paint hazard reduction measures, and lead-based paint clearance testing. These costs up to the $5,000 limit will not be included in the loan to the property owner.
if the status of a handicapped or disabled applicant changes later and the applicant is determined to be a competent wage earner,the deferred loan will be changed to a regular pay loan.
Upon receipt of the completed application your name will be placed on the Housing Rehabilitation Waiting List. Waiting list time differs depending on the current number of homeowners on the list. Please allow a minimum of 30 business days to process applications in order to determine eligibility.


That sounds like a great costume. Your husband would be able to enter the park dressed up as the Mad Hatter during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. At times other than the halloween party, adults are not permitted to enter the parks in costume.
Your daughter can enter dressed as Alice whenever she would like.

Cherington spoke Wednesday at the baseball winter meetings in San Diego.
Showalter counting on Chris Davis for good year
SAN DIEGO – Buck Showalter is counting on Chris Davis to bounce back next year.
The Baltimore Orioles manager will have to wait until the second game of the season, April 7 at Tampa Bay, to pencil his slugger into the lineup. Davis has one game left to serve in a 25-game suspension imposed in September following a positive test for Adderall, a banned amphetamine.
"He is doing well. I think he's in a good mindset," Showalter said Tuesday at the winter meetings. "I can't really see anything that would point to something being negative towards Chris having a big year and getting back on the saddle, so to speak, of where he was. I'm expecting him to be solid for us."
After losing Nelson Cruz and Nick Markakis to free agency, the Orioles need Davis to return to his All-Star form of 2013, when he hit .286 with 53 homers and 138 RBIs. Davis hit .196 this year with 26 homers and 72 RBIs before his suspension Sept. 12, and he averaged a strikeout per 3.03 plate appearances — the worst in the major leagues among qualifying batters.
Davis' suspension included the final 17 games of the regular season, a three-game sweep of Detroit in the AL Division Series and a four-game loss to Kansas City in the AL Championship Series.
Davis is eligible for arbitration after making $10.5 million last season, including performance bonuses. He can become a free agent after next year's World Series.
AP sources: Astros add relievers Gregerson, Neshek
SAN DIEGO – People familiar with the negotiations say the Houston Astros have bolstered their bullpen by agreeing to an $18.5 million, three-year contract with Luke Gregerson and a $12.5 million, two-year deal with Pat Neshek.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the deals with the right-handers were subject to physicals.
Gregerson, 30, spent five years with San Diego, then went 5-5 with a 2.12 ERA in 72 appearances for Oakland last season. Neshek, 34, has pitched for Minnesota, San Diego, Oakland and St. Louis. He was 7-2 with a 1.87 ERA for the Cardinals this year, when he struck out 68 in 67 1-3 innings and was picked for his first All-Star game.
Gregerson receives $6 million next year and $6.25 million in each of the final two seasons.
Neshek gets $5.5 million next year and $6.5 million in 2016. The deal includes an option at $6 million to $9 million, depending on his performance, with a $500,000 buyout.
Scherzer could be seeking more than Kershaw
SAN DIEGO – Clayton Kershaw is considered the top pitcher in baseball, with three Cy Young Awards in four years for the Los Angeles Dodgers, an NL Most Valuable Player award and a $215 million, seven-year contract.
Max Scherzer may be seeking an even bigger deal as his talks on the free-agent market move forward.
"I'm not sure Kershaw is relevant," agent Scott Boras said Wednesday at the winter meetings, "because he's not a free agent."
Jon Lester became the first top-level, free-agent starting pitcher to reach an agreement this offseason, a $155 million, six-year deal with the Chicago Cubs that came together late Tuesday night.
Scherzer turned down an offer from Detroit last March that would have paid $144 million from 2015-20. Kershaw has the largest contract for a pitcher in both total dollars has the sport's highest average salary at $30.7 million.
"The prominent pitchers that have signed, (Justin) Verlander or (Felix) Hernandez or Kershaw, were not free-agent players," Boras said. "And certainly if you put a performance like Kershaw into a free-agent market, you're going to get a much, much different calibration of value."
Scherzer's negotiations figure to stretch on for weeks or even into next year.
But other players were on the move or close to switching teams.
In trade talks, the Dodgers were trying to acquire shortstop Jimmy Rollins from Philadelphia and send All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon and right-hander Dan Haren to Miami. The Phillies started retooling by dealing left-handed reliever Antonio Bastardo to Pittsburgh for minor league lefty Joely Rodriguez.
Among free agents, Houston agreed to an $18.5 million, three-year contract with Luke Gregerson and a $12.5 million, two-year deal with Pat Neshek, people familiar with the negotiations said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deals with the right-handed relievers were subject to physicals.
And the Chicago White Sox finalized a $46 million, four-year contract with closer David Robertson.
Lester's deal could open up the marketplace for other free agents and for players who may be available in trades, such as Philadelphia's Cole Hamels, Detroit's David Price and Washington's Jordan Zimmermann.
Lester helped the Red Sox win World Series titles in 2007 and '13. Boston made a $70 million, four-year offer during spring training, and after the Red Sox couldn't reach an agreement on a new deal in July, they traded him to Oakland. Boston fell about $20 million short with its offer this week.
"I think we would have liked to have had more chance for dialogue prior to the season," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. "Why that didn't happen, maybe there's more than one reason. I think we can certainly learn from the process."
San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers also had sought the left-hander.
"I think it raises the bar on all pitching," New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said. "Heretofore, there's been a lot of conversation about how valuable offense could be and, of course, we got (Giancarlo) Stanton, we got the big $300 million-plus contract. But right behind that, the next-highest is Lester. So I think it re-establishes the notion that pitching is still at a premium and highly desirable and costly."

The U.S. Forest Service utilizes a quota system to control the number of groups entering the BWCAW each day. Quotas reduce natural resource damage and help to protect the Wilderness for future generations.


Psychic Experiences by Mark Bajerski | Marbella Marbella – Adelante!
As I recall it was a lovely sunny Morning in Mijas Pueblo, as I opened one of two shops I own with my beautiful hard working wife Suzie , I felt my eyes pulling me toward a lady coming up the stairs heading straight for me, with a smile I greeted her and instantly new she was brought up the stairs to see the sign on my wall (angel and tarot readings), as I started the reading I felt a deep pain that could only be a loss of a loved one and as my cards spoke I picked up her wonderful husband in spirit and I continued with all that was needed to be said, as we spoke about why she married this amazing man who had lead her straight to me and seen the sigh for a reading I couldn't help feel that there had been something I had missed, we kissed and said our goodbyes, ok so now heres where it gets interesting, while I pondered over what more I could have said, suddenly an angel bookmark fell off the top shelf and landed at my feet. My heart skipped a beat, I new this was the final message I had to give this lady but she had gone and the chances of seeing her again was slim in the height of summer and hundreds of tourists plus I couldn't leave the shop full of customers either. I read the message on the bookmark which went along theses lines…MY DEAR LOVE WORDS COULDN'T SAY HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU .YOU ARE MY HEART MY STRENGTH AND MY LIFE, MY LOVE WILL NEVER DIE AND I GIVE YOU AN ANGEL TO WATCH OVER YOU AND ALWAYS KEEP YOU SAFE.
As I read this with tears in my eyes I had an powerful vision of Annie talking with my wife, but I said to myself she doesn't know about our other shop, Then I felt an overwhelming urge to call my wife., Suzie answered the phone and I explained that a lady called Annie would call into her shop who has just had a reading with me and you will know who she is! Suzie said within 10 minutes a lady came into our shop and headed towards Suzie. Annie was totally shocked when Suzie knew who she was, How Suzie new who to ask! Well that's another story.
Annie hurried back around and I gave her the message and explained how it happened. Well you guessed it! We cried some more… and said our goodbyes. Wow the final piece of the jigsaw was in place and I now felt happy my job was done.
The universe is a magical place which pulls people in the direction of help. If not me, there would have been someone else that I am sure, but what interested me was, I had a complete confidence that Annie would be pulled towards my wife and my wife not having a clue, but did exactly what was expected of her. There lies a power beyond our understanding. Coincidence or not, this true story has burned into my soul and without question Annie's late husband had played a huge role in this very special day….

One in eight people go to health institutions with electricity problem: WHO
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently expressed its concern about the difficulties faced by the health infrastructure in some countries of the world.
The institution published a new report of the World Bank. between findings They found that nearly 1 billion people living in low- and lower-middle-income countries must attend health facilities that are struggling with their infrastructure: either no electricity or "unreliable" power service.
The WHO said the number of people attending health care institutions matches the population of countries without access to electricity, such as the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan and Germany.
"Access to electricity is essential to the provision of quality healthcare, from childbirth to dealing with emergencies such as heart attacks or offering life-saving vaccines. Without reliable electricity to all health facilities, universal health coverage cannot be achieved." As indicated by WHO through a statement in which it has reviewed the report.
is that both basic and complex health technologies require electricity. For example, for lighting, equipment for measuring vital signs, for cooling communications and medicines. This is especially important to guarantee the correct use of vaccines and the execution of surgeries, which require significant amounts of light.
the report is called Energizing Health: Accelerating Access to Electricity in Health Centers And showed the latest data on the electrification of health infrastructure in hundreds of countries around the world.
Due to high occupancy in intensive care units, power supply was critical during the COVID-19 pandemic. – photo: reuters
But, it is not just limited to diagnostics, as the report also provides data on investments required to achieve better electrification in health centres. In addition, it made recommendations to governments and stakeholders interested in resolving the situation.
"Access to electricity in health centers can make the difference between life and death", said Maria Neira, WHO Assistant Director-General for Healthy Populations.
"Investing in reliable, clean and sustainable electricity for healthcare facilities is not only critical to pandemic preparedness, but alsoThere is a great need for achieving universal health coverage as well as enhancing resilience and adaptation to climate change." Neera added.
Electricity is not only used in health institutions to keep millions of people alive, but it is also used to conduct diagnostic tests. – photo: Getty Images
The WHO has expressed concern that there are countries in the regions of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa where One in ten health facilities do not have electricity.
In turn, half of health institutions in sub-Saharan Africa do not have a reliable source of electricity.
"There are also serious disparities in access to electricity within countries, Rural primary health care centers and health facilities are less likely to have access to electricity than hospitals and facilities in urban areas", WHO pointed out.
This multilateral body believes that improving electricity coverage in these health institutions can have a positive impact on access to this fundamental right for millions of people and, therefore, should be one of the top priorities for development.
In a World Bank analysis, which was included in the report, It found that around 64% of healthcare institutions in low- and middle-income countries need at least one "urgent intervention".
Without good access to electricity, patients in health institutions can be at serious risk. – photo: Getty Images
This means that they require an electricity connection to be installed or a power plant to guarantee that the power does not go out. To achieve this, the WHO said, there is an "urgent" need for about $4.9 billion to bring them to a minimum level of electrification.

A career in Childcare is very rewarding. It is also both demanding and fun and is a very responsible job. Working with children in their earliest years requires a great deal of patience and lots of energy.
Excellent attendance, commitment and good communication skills are vital. If you are a caring and nurturing person who enjoys meeting different people and you have a genuine interest in working with children then, this could be the ideal career for you.
Each working day in childcare will bring a variety of responsibilities, from supporting children with everyday care routines such as meal and rest times, to supporting or providing a wide range of interesting & stimulating indoor and outdoor activities to promote enjoyment and development.
We offer qualifications in both Childcare Early Years and Childcare Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools.
How do you get into Childcare?
If you are already employed in a Childcare setting then apply to Total People to enquire what qualifications you could start working towards.
If you do not currently have a job in Childcare then you can register your interest with Total People and our friendly Training Advisers will contact you to advise you of the different options available.
You can apply online and register your details here.
Before you can begin working with children you will need enhanced background checks by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) - formerly the Criminal Records Bureau. Again Total People will be able to give you advice to support with this.
This will be dependent on the size of the employer and if the employer is an apprenticeship levy payer. This can be discussed with Total People Ltd.
The Diploma in Caring for Children is a classroom based qualification. This course is ideal if you are 16-18 years old, not yet employed in a Childcare setting and eager to gain the knowledge and skills required to start a career in Childcare.
You would attend training at one of Total People's training sites 2 days per week to achieve the Diploma in Caring for Children and Functional Skills.
There are opportunities to progress into a Childcare placement and possibly a full Apprenticeship programme once you are job ready.
No formal qualifications are required but you will need to be job ready and have gained an employed Apprenticeship position in a Childcare setting.
To be employed in a Childcare setting, you will need to have gained experience in Childcare and have been given the responsibility of a key group of children.
The Diploma in Caring for Children is a classroom based qualification. This course is ideal if you are 16-18 years old, not yet employed in an education setting and eager to gain the knowledge and skills required to start a career in education and inspiring children fulfil their potential.

To undertake the Advanced Apprenticeship level 3, you need to have completed the prior level 2 qualification and have experience within a Supporting Teaching & learning role.


If you wait too long to talk about drinking, your kids may have already formed their own opinions. Here's what experts say to their own kids.
April is Alcohol Awareness Month, and though it may be winding to a close, the problem of underage drinking carries on. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism notes that by the age of 15, over one-third of teens have had at least one alcoholic drink, a number that roughly doubles by age 18. Binge-drinking is also a big risk among this age group, a behavior that can lead to injury, memory and learning problems and chronic conditions like heart disease.
How can you tackle this tough but necessary topic of underage drinking with your kids? We talked to substance abuse and mental heath experts who are also parents to learn the best tactics and techniques.
Often parents think the best way to tackle heavy "adult" issues is to have a formal sit-down talk where they lay down the rules. You may want to opt for a more casual talk that is more of an ongoing dialogue throughout their childhood and adolescence.
If you wait to have these tough talks until their teenagers you may have missed the [window] and they may have formulated their own ideas about having a drink.
Celeste Viciere, a licensed mental health clinician and the mother of four whose ages range from six to 17, doesn't think there's a wrong age to start talking about substance abuse especially with easy access to the Internet.
Kids are curious and they will ask questions. Crystal Rice, a social worker certified in advanced trauma treatment with three children (ages eight, six and three) finds that often, the parental instinct is to try to postpone answering them rather than tackling them immediately simply because they aren't ready to talk about this stuff.
Rice and the other mental health experts we consulted note that transparency about your own drinking habits is key.
Viciere adds that she may be more "hyper-vigilant" about the negative repercussions of drinking than a parent who doesn't work with people struggling with or healing from substance abuse, but that any parent can be more self-aware about how they communicate about their drinking, as well as imparting the increased risks of developing a problem if you start drinking at an early age.
If you're taking medication, be open about its purpose.
Rice teaches a monthly class for foster and adoptive parents to help them care for traumatized kids. Here, she implements a technique that can be helpful for any parent. Essentially, Rice explains, the parents role play with one another, rehearsing how they might handle all kinds of scenarios involving with their kids.
You should also role-play with your teens in advance of their being exposed to situations where underage drinking happens.
Hopefully your kids won't have an issue with substance abuse, but as Dr. Conlin is quick to point out, "you can do everything right and they can still be wired to have a problem." Make sure you have a stable support system in place even if everything is going fine — just so you won't be left in a lurch should a crisis strike.

When people comes to visit Japan, almost everyone plans to visit at least one Shrine before leaving Japan.
You might notice a large big box standing there, resembles something you' ve seen in a Manga or Anime. That is a "Donation box" . Of course, you might want to try to make an offer by yourself, too.
It might seems easy. But if you don' t get used to Japanese tradition, you might not sure how to do it properly.
In that case, let' s learn about manners in a shrine, "Two Bow, Two Claps, One Bow" .
2. Ring a bell that' s in front of you.
Make a bow two times, clap two times, then bow again one time.
This is how every Japanese people donates in a shrine. So, make sure to remember this before visit a shrine, or you can just ask Japanese people nearby !


Janmashtami is an important Vaishnava holiday commemorating the birth of Krishna. A two-day celebration takes place this weekend at Austin's Radha Madhav Dham temple and gardens. In San Antonio, Krishna communities host events, Sunday. In all, images of Krishna will be venerated. That's because, according to the ancient texts, Lord Krishna is an incarnation of Vishnu. In fact, the name Krishna, means all attractive.
These tales, and more, are depicted in illustrations from a San Diego collection.
Most are based on epics like the Ramayana or Bhagavata Purana.
One area, however, is devoted to Persian-language literature like the Shahnama. Yet another area, is musical illustrations. These are known as Ragamala. Typically, these were sets of 36 paintings, thus, creating a garland (mala) of images pertaining to the music (ragas).
The exhibit is at Austin's Blanton Museum of Art through October 1. Epic Tales from Ancient India features stories and images of Krishna. Traditional Indian music is piped into the gallery space.
There are dozens and dozens of illustrations of Krishna and others from the ancient scriptures in the Blanton exhibit. Images of Krishna, Yashoda, Radha, Balaram are mostly from the 1600s. They tend to be very detailed, tiny stories on paper.
To protect Krishna against a terrible prophesy, his birth parents entrusted him to Yashoda and Nanda. Krishna's birth, and escape from the jail where he was born, are expressed in a watercolor circa 1560.
The exhibit description explains several of the scenes in this piece.
Kamsa sends demons out to harm baby Krishna. One of those demons is disguised as a crane, Bakasura.
In another tale, Krishna overcomes a forest fire. After defeating a serpent, Krishna and his father return home. Tired, the fall asleep at the Yamuna river.
An opaque watercolor, from the mid 1700s shows Krishna explaining worship. There are multiple stories within the painting, representing how worship is passed on, from one to another. The eye is drawn to a colorful flower. At the yellow center of the flower, are Vishnu and Garuda. His attendants and other deities are pictured on each of the eight pink petals.
A gallery text explains one of the pieces from around 1690.
Krishna was ever popular among the gopis (cow herder girls).
As part of the Blanton show, there will be a sarod and tabla concert on September 21. Then, on September 22, there will be a lecture. Additionally, each Thursday, Saturday and Sunday will be storytelling and dance. A UT grad student, with then years of Indian classical dance experience, will perform.
The Blanton was founded in 1963 as UT's Art Museum. Therefore, admission is free to current UT staff and students. Likewise, admission is free for teachers and active military. Typically, the museum is open Tuesdays through Sundays until 5 p.m. However, the third Thursday of every month, the museum is open until 9 p.m.

When X-Men: Days of Future Past writer and Fantastic Four reboot producer Simon Kinberg landed a first-look deal at 20th Century Fox with the studio hoping he would help shepherd their Marvel properties into their own cinematic universe, we all assumed a crossover of X-Men and Fantastic Four would be in the cards. After all, it happens in the comic books, so it makes sense. But despite a rumor about a project like that being planned for the future, Kinberg recently spoke with ScreenCrush and basically shot down that idea for the time being. However, we don't think that the possibility is necessarily dead because of that.
"Well, it's complicated. Because none of the X-Men movies have acknowledged the notion of a sort of superhero team — the Fantastic Four. And the Fantastic Four acquire powers, so for them to live in a world where mutants are prevalent is kind of complicated, because you're like, 'Oh, you're just a mutant.' Like, 'What's so fantastic about you?'"
The interviewer then interceded, adding, "We have powers … just like that team down the street." And Kinberg agreed and continued, "Right, right. Exactly, 'So, I guess we'll go to school now. We'll go to Xavier's school.' No, it is, they live in discrete universes." So as disappointing as that may be for fans hoping to see X-Men and Fantastic Four come together or fight each other. It just makes sense logistically in the world that the X-Men already live in. Even with the two different timelines that are likely to exist after X-Men: Days of Future Past, it just wouldn't work with mutants already established in society.
However, that doesn't mean we can't see this kind of crossover happen down the road. After all, we just learned the producers of the X-Men franchise are hoping to shoot X-Men: Apocalypse and The Wolverine 2 back-to-back. The former would be the third film for the younger X-Men: First Class cast, and The Wolverine 2 is supposed to be Hugh Jackman's final outing as Wolverine. With all of those things considered, it's likely that X-Men will be rebooted a few years later, so this could still happen at some point. Anyway, we've got a little while to wait before any of this happens.
I'm still traumatized by disappointment after seeing Spiderman. Crossovers are the least of FOX's problems. First class was decent, FF is a turd machine and Wolverine has been destroyed. How about figuring out how to make a decent Marvel film first. + I hate that guy's smug look on his face in the title pic.
Spiderman wasn't Fox though. But I agree that I cannot see FF working with these guys.
I know it's a Sony film. still traumatized.
Fox has made some good, decent marvel films already, and wolverine is definitely not destroyed yet. of course i know I am arguing with your opinion but I think that you seemed to claim fox's films as a big problem when the x-men are about to be at their peak now.
Fox shouldn't even be making their Fantastic Four reboot, the rights SHOULD have gone back to Disney/Marvel.

Attorney Endorsements continued
"Any attorney who has not availed themselves of the incredible services of Dr. Sheila Balkan, in connection with bail, preplea reports, trial consultation and sentencing, is committing malpractice."
David Kenner
Law Offices of David Kenner
"Dr. BALKAN IS AN AWARD WINNER-----LITERALLY! In a high profile domestic violence case (post-OJ), the prosecutors were insisting on custody time as a condition of any disposition. I turned to Sheila Balkan for help. Dr. Balkan, keenly aware of politics and public perception, conceived of a unique alternative sentence---our client would star in and arrange for the airing of a public service announcement on domestic violence. A deal was reached thanks to the creativity and imagination of Dr. Balkan. As for the PSA....It was great. So great that Dr. Balkan won a Telly award as writer/producer of one of the best PSAs of the year."
Janet Levine
Crowell & Moring LLP
"She is the very best at what she does, indispensable."
Leonard Levine
Law Offices of Leonard Levine
Century City, CA
"Dr. Balkan has a unique ability to find compelling individual circumstances for each and every defendant, and present them in a manner that is compelling to judges for use in sentencing proceedings. After Booker/Fanfan, these issues are more important than they ever were, and Sheila has the ability to work with defense attorneys to obtain the best possible sentences for their clients."
John Lundin
Law Offices of John Lundin
"Over the past 20 years of working with Dr. Balkan, I can think of numerous cases in which her assistance has significantly influenced and impacted the Courts' sentencing decisions."
Stan Marks
Law Office of Stanley H. Marks
"In over 35 years of practice as a criminal defense attorney in both the state and federal courts, I have come across no one who comes close to matching the intellect, creativity and diligence of Dr. Balkan in the preparation of preplea and sentencing reports. She is truly the Rolls Royce of her profession. I have seen her reports melt the hearts of the most cold-hearted and rigid jurists."
Alvin Michaelson
Law Offices of Alvin Michaelson
"Sheila is relentless in identifying, documenting and explaining the life experiences related to criminal behavior and in bringing to the court a compelling presentation aimed at effecting change in a defendant's life, instead of simply throwing away the key."
Marsha Morrissey
Law Offices of Marsha Morrissey
"After 25 years of working with Dr. Balkan, I have come to rely on her in all my difficult cases. Dr. Balkan uses creative and innovative ways to capture and communicate to the court the hardships and personal trauma facing a client. Her video taped production of my client's daily life with his two autistic children conveyed more than any oral presentation I could have made. It won my client his liberty and his life."
Michael Nasatir
Nasatir, Hirsch, Podberesky & Genego
"The unique combination of analytical skill and deep professional insight has made a positive difference in every case in which I have engaged Dr. Balkan. The results have uniformly been outstanding for the client."
Angela Oh
Director of Western Justice Center
"In a substantial real estate fraud case, Dr Balkan's background investigation uncovered a ground for departure based on the client's family history. A generally unsympathetic sentencing judge accepted our argument and, over the government's objection, gave our client a much lower sentence than had been expected. I always feel confident that Sheila will apply her creativity to the unique facts of the case and come up with the most compelling arguments."
Brian O'Neill
"Dr. Balkan possesses unique insight and uncanny intuition to identify and effectively communicate grounds for downward departures. She expertly weaves together facts to tell a client's life story with compassion and clarity. She has helped me to obtain significantly reduced sentences for clients before some of the most formidable judges in the state and federal courts. She is a true miracle worker!"

God creating new movement to penetrate the lostness?
Monday morning found Pastor Red Brick in his pick-up on the way to the Association office.
Red was puzzled by the Great Commission Task Force's (GCRTF) report Penetrating the Lostness: Embracing a Vision for a Great Commission Resurgence among Southern Baptists.
Red had followed the convention's efforts to renew a burden for the un-churched and after reading the GCRTF report, he felt he needed to talk with Bro. Vision Nary at the Association office.
[img_assist|nid=6359|title=Rodrick E. Conerly DOM Baptist Association of Greater Baton Rouge|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=100|height=98]As he turned into the drive at the Association office, Red found Bro. Nary sweeping the last pink crepe myrtle blooms off the walk in front of the office. After Bro. Nary retired the broom to the closet, he poured Red a cup of coffee.
1. That God recreate within our churches a clear and urgent vision for missions.
2. That our convention consider the reinvention of the North American Mission Board for the purpose of planting new churches.
3. That the International Mission Board be empowered to reach the un-evangelized regardless of geographical location.
4. That the churches reaffirm the Cooperative Program as the means of supporting missions by increasing their Cooperative Program giving.
5. That the responsibility for Cooperative Program promotion and stewardship education return to the state conventions.
6. That the Cooperative Program allocation to the international missions be increased by one percent.
"Yes," said Bro. Nary, "There were at least a couple of more. A more stewardship-minded membership emerged and, perhaps the most important development, there was a move away from the society approach to fund-raising by our boards.
"Now, keep in mind," said Bro. Nary, "I mentioned that I do not agree with everything in the final report. I do have concerns about the advocacy of a method of giving that parallels the Cooperative Program.
"Bro. Red," said Bro. Nary, "God appears to be creating a new movement across the convention. Although the trust level for our convention leadership may not exist as before, one thing is sure, He who led our Southern Baptist forefathers a century ago leads us today.
"Our task is to pray for the leadership God has given our convention," Bro. Nary said.
"To quote one of our leaders of a century ago," added Bro. Nary, "'We are coming rapidly to the place, if we have not already reached it, when we must rely wholly upon the Boards and standing committees to do our thinking for us. This is to some extent both desirable and inevitable'" (Religious Herald, May 20, 1909.).

PHD Recruits The Bondi Hipsters For Mockumentary For Sydney Airport
Sydney Airport and PHD has launched a new branded mockumentary series featuring the Bondi Hipsters to promote the airport's parking products and services.
Inspired by the UK TV series 'Come Fly With Me', the four-part online series, Sydney Airport Parking, is a mock-documentary about Sydney Airport's car parks. It centres around two 'employees', Keith and Brent, whose daily tasks involve many varied duties for Sydney Airport Parking. Check the spots out here.
The video series is a response to a brief by Sydney Airport to increase customer engagement in a competitive market. The activity is designed to shift consumer sentiment, increase product awareness and humanise the brand. PHD worked with the media team to ensure parking at Sydney Airport would be the option of choice when customers are conducting their travel research.
This is the first time Sydney Airport has used video content marketing to build personality around one of its brands. This approach provided an opportunity to be progressive and courageous by using a healthy dose of self-deprecating, irreverent humour.
Commenting on the campaign, PHD content and partnerships director, Christian Heath said, "Parking can be a dry subject and we wanted to bring the brand to life with a comedic through-the-line campaign. People rarely see the 'human' face of Sydney Airport Parking. It takes courage for a client to not take themselves too seriously and show the ability to laugh at oneself. We believe the Bondi Hipsters are the perfect vehicle to make this happen."
The four content pieces will be amplified through social, alongside six second drivers which will all direct people to a Keith and Brent Facebook profile page run by the characters themselves. Unique to this campaign, every visitor to the Facebook page will be able to interact with both characters in real life, ask questions and get the low-down on the best discounted parking deals available at the airport.
"This is a new approach for our parking business. It's an exciting and refreshing take on what can be a challenging subject," Sydney Airport general manager, landside operations and transport, Craig Norton, said.
"The original concept was formed around meeting the team at Sydney Airport Parking and getting a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on in our car parks every day. Keith and Brent do a fantastic job of showing viewers just what daily life is like at Sydney Airport's car parks, and we're looking forward to seeing how audiences interact with them."

I have some Questions regarding Tableau Server, can you please help me with it..
1)Can we install Tableau server, one node in windows 10 and other node in vmware windows 7??
2)Can we install Tableau server, one node in PC and other node in Cloud/Tableau Online??
3)Can we have different versions of Tableau server in different node??
It's possible to have nodes in a Tableau cluster to run different versions of Windows OS though I'd think it would be easier to keep the same OS (at least for Production) so that for example, all nodes would get the same Windows OS patch versus having to apply different patches.
Tableau Online is Tableau's "hosted solution". So in this instance we provide customers the number of login accounts they would need and all of the underlying hardware is handled by Tableau. The customer doesn't actually have access to this underlying hardware.
Within a Tableau cluster, all nodes need to be running the same version. If there's a mismatch, the Tableau cluster won't start up.

In order to examine your priorities as a Christian, the first step is to make an assessment of your relationship to the world. Do you love the world?
If after examination it turns out that your answer is "yes," then the love of the Father is not IN you. In other words, you are not born again. In order to fully understand how to be crucified to the world, the terms need to be defined.
First of all, the world is not the earth. The world is an invisible group of "systems" that the enemy of our souls is still the god of. So in simple terms, if Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not Lord over a particular system, that system is a part of THE WORLD. Put another way, if Christ is not the head of it, it is "the world." That includes people, places and things. For example, if Christ is not the head of your family, then your family is "THE WORLD." If Christ is not the head of your school, then your school is "THE WORLD." If Christ is not the head of your career, your sport, whatever, it is THE WORLD. If Christ is not the head of your church, SHE IS THE ALL religious systems are a part of THE WORLD, if Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not the head of them.
You see the cross symbolizes deliverance from this present evil age (Gal 1:4),—from the powers of darkness (Col 1:13)—from the devils and demons who rule the world under their leader, Satan–(Eph 6:12) and—-on the resurrection side of the cross—WE ARE TRANSLATED INTO THE KINGDOM OF THE SON OF GOD! When we plead the blood, we are telling the enemy that we are dead to his world, that he no longer has authority over us, that we walk in that same power that raised Jesus from the dead.
Recovery In Christ is a spiritual growth book with a manual. To be crucified to the world is one of a major themes of the book.

Jim Starkey (born January 6, 1949 in Illinois) is a database architect responsible for developing InterBase, the first relational database to support multi-versioning, the blob column type, type event alerts, arrays and triggers. Starkey is the founder of several companies, including the web application development and database tool company Netfrastructure and NuoDB.

Education and career
Jim Starkey graduated from University of Wisconsin at Madison, Wisconsin, with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. After graduating, Starkey worked at Computer Corporation of America on a research project to build a database machine for ARPAnet.

Starkey's first major computer language was STOP, an assembler emulator
written in 1965 and used by IIT for undergraduate instruction. Starkey joined Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1975. At DEC, he created the DATATRIEVE family of products, the DEC Standard Relational Interface, VAX Rdb/ELN, and designed the software architecture for DATATRIEVE'S database. He released DATATRIEVE Version 1 for the PDP-11 in 1977, VAX DATATRIEVE in 1981 as part of the VAX Information Architecture, Rdb/ELN, the Digital Standard Relational Interface, and a variety of uncommercialized database-centric and 4GL proofs of concept. Also at DEC, Starkey invented the BLOB, a "binary large object."

In 1984 he founded Groton Database Systems which became InterBase Software Corporation in 1986. Interbase was sold to Ashton-Tate in 1991, which in turn was sold to Borland. Borland subsequently incorporated InterBase in its Delphi product. After leaving Interbase, Starkey began a series of attempts to productize innovative database technology, including Netfrastructure.  He is known fondly as "The Wolf" to Firebird SQL developers (which is an open source branch from InterBase v6.0).

In 2000, Starkey founded Netfrastructure, Inc., a platform for web applications including a relational database, integrated search, a Java virtual machine, and a context-sensitive page generator. Netfrastructure was acquired by MySQL and Starkey became a senior software architect at MySQL,  where he started work on Falcon - a new transactional database engine based on the Netfrastructure codebase. He left MySQL in June 2008, a few months after Sun purchased MySQL AB, and Falcon never went beyond beta release.

In 2008, Jim Starkey incorporated a database company called NimbusDB.  The name was formally changed to NuoDB in 2011. He is currently working on a new database model called AmorphousDB.

Patents
Jim Starkey has been issued the following United States patents:
"Database management system," patented in 2012.
"Database server system with methods for alerting clients of occurrence of database server events of interest to clients."
"Method and apparatus for generating web pages from templates"

Personal life
Starkey is married to Ann Harrison, who is "a contributor to InterBase's development."

Home / News / China expands the list of blacklisted foreign casinos
by Marry on January 27, 2021
China expands the list of blacklisted foreign casinos
That original list was announced in August 2020, with the Ministry stating at the time that such destinations were disrupting the nation's outbound tourism market by opening casinos targeting mainland Chinese customers. It also said the destinations were "endangering the personal and property safety of Chinese citizens."
While China has not confirmed any destination alleged to be on a blacklist by name, analysts had suggested it was likely pointing to emerging Southeast Asian gaming destinations such as the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam, and potentially Australia.
According to Xinhua, the Ministry "in conjunction with relevant departments" will make a list of the second batch of overseas destinations that attract Chinese tourists for gambling activities, which will be subsequently "added to the system."
"In order to better regulate the tourism market and safeguard the lives and property of Chinese citizens, the blacklist system was established through concerted efforts of multiple departments, including the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security," Xinhua's report says.
"Travel restrictions will be imposed on Chinese citizens heading to overseas cities and scenic areas on the list."
Establishment of the original blacklist last year sparked fierce debate over whether or not Macau might be included. While some analysts have outlined evidence suggesting Macau is indeed in mainland China's crosshairs, others stated at the time that the SAR could in fact benefit from such a crackdown on other potential gambling destinations.
"In the long term, this move could be seen as 'ring-fencing' gambling demand/flow within China, which in turn could drive repatriation of demand to Macau," said JP Morgan.
"In the near term, it's inevitable we will see some dent in the pace of VIP recovery given potential collateral damage – junkets/agents who bring players to non-Macau markets are the same ones as those in Macau, and they will most likely keep a low profile for now to avoid any fallout from the clampdown.
"Overall, we would characterize this news as short-term pain for long-term gain for Macau."
