Try these parent-tested tips for sane school mornings.
For many of us, the start of a new school year means the return of the morning hustle. At this time of year I usually reflect on how I'd like mornings to go at my house and what I can do to make that happen. The more I talk with other parents about their morning routines, the more ideas I collect for how to stop the morning madness. I hope some of these ideas can help you create harmony at your house.
Play music. Select some upbeat—but not frantic—tunes to set the mood in the morning. Research shows music can improve one's mood—always a good thing in the morning!
Turn back the alarm clock. I know this idea is not popular with sleep deprived parents, but consider how much time you give yourself to get out the door and how much time you really need to do it all without running around. It may be worth 15 minutes less sleep to have a more relaxed morning.
Pick out clothes the night before. If your child likes to debate the pros and cons of 12 different shirts before selecting one, you may need to take "choosing clothes" off the list of things to do in the morning.
Make lunches at night. I know friends who swear by this tactic but I've never been able to do it. I do find that simply laying the lunch boxes and water bottles out on the counter gets the whole process going faster in the morning.
Set the timer. Your child may enjoy racing the clock to get a morning task done. If your child likes to dress independently but takes a long time to accomplish the task, consider setting the timer and then telling him that he has 5 minutes to get his clothes and shoes on. Make sure you allow a reasonable amount of time so as not to create frustration. The idea is that your child should be so motivated that he always beats the clock.
Limit breakfast choices. Weekends are the time for long, leisurely breakfasts at our house. But on weekdays I like to put a few choices on the table so my sleepy little ones merely need to point. Offer too many choices and you may feel like a short order cook.
Use incentives. I'll admit it…my kids move at least twice as fast in the morning when they know they can have screen time once they are ready to go. And by "ready to go" I mean teeth brushed, sweatshirt and shoes on, backpack and lunch by the door. On these mornings, I enjoy drying my hair without straining to hear if there is a fight I need to break up. These incentives also help children learn to take responsibility for certain things like their backpacks, lunch boxes and sweatshirts—your child's teacher will appreciate this.
Know how your kids wake up. Some kids wake up ready for the day. Others need time to adjust to the world. Know what your kids need in the morning and try to adjust your plan accordingly.
This year I'm re-envisioning my calm and collected mornings. Good luck with yours. And please share more ideas for making mornings harmonious.

What the Health? Another Documentary Shows Us Why We Need to Be Savvy about How and Where We Get Health Info
What the Health, a documentary released earlier this year, has been increasingly buzzing in the social media world.
Unfortunately, it mixes facts with half-truths with outright inaccuracies. Its message isn't scientifically or medically sound.
Even more unfortunately, it's too complicated and lengthy to explain why in a blog post or other brief format.
This the heart of the problem when it comes to health information.
As is often the case with these types of exposés, the documentary is certainly captivating, with dramatic reenactments and snazzy editing. But there's simply too much scientific literature on the topics to present them in any real way in 90 minutes. Plus, doing so would make the film less dramatic and therefore less marketable.
Take, for instance, the film's crusade against eggs.
The notion that eggs are incredibly unhealthy due to their cholesterol content has been debunked. Our recent dietary guidelines reflect this. And the supposed deleterious effects of saturated...

Healthcare Workers Australia: Leadership in Uncertain Times
This article is posted on Healthcare Workers Australia.
"We're over it." Many of us, health care workers or not, have overtly or covertly expressed this state of being. The ever-changing protocols, the hybrid telehealth clinics, the endless zoom meetings, the cancelled conferences, the restrictions, the distancing, the lack of human touch, the masked smiles. Our day-to-day work and living have fundamentally changed as managers dictate what we can or can't do. We thought it was going to be a short sprint. It's turning out to be a marathon that we did not sign up for. And we're over it.
A mutated RNA virus measuring a mere 125 nanometres infected a host and went viral. Horror pandemics that made great Hollywood movies suddenly became our story. We've lost loved ones. We've lost jobs and businesses. We've lost our dreams and plans. We've lost a sense of control over our personal and professional lives.
My patients tell me that they're scared. The theatre technician tells me she's confused. Fear & confusion spread rapidly in a pandemic. What drives the R0 of fear? As I reflect on the times that I feel fearful in my work as a surgeon, I fall on these 3: lack of cognitive understanding (I don't know what's happening), lack of emotional support (I feel alone) and lack of physical protection (I feel I'm at risk). These are real human concerns that many of us have felt internally behind the heroic narrative bestowed unwillingly upon us. So, we put on that mask.
Knowing that there is still the long journey of COVID normal ahead, what can we do to resolve some of those hidden fears? Waiting for surveys, research grant, program approval and administrative intervention can take a long time. What can we do tomorrow for our colleagues, our team and our patients? What antidote can we offer for this pandemic of fear and confusion sometimes manifested in anger and frustration?
In Dr Anthony Fauci's widely viewed Grand Round Lecture to Harvard Medical School (at 1:02:20), he underlined humility as something that he has learned and has underpinned his approach. Humility is not just an esoteric conceptual idea, it is a courageous practical reality. Not knowing everything there is to know about this virus. Being willing to put aside dogma in light of new evidence. Being quick to admit wrong. Being prompt in changing protocols and guidelines. Considering the alternative view. Listening to those outside of the specialty. I have been wrong. I have criticised my managers. I have been rebuked, corrected and critiqued. We all need to embrace this humility espoused by Dr Fauci. We are not looking for perfect leaders in this pandemic. We're looking for authentic leaders willing to accept errors and embrace change. I think we could easily trust leaders who are genuinely interested in hearing every voice and who make efforts to adapt and adopt change. Humility starts with us whether we have a position of leadership or not.
What do you do when you feel you don't know what's going on, you feel unsupported at work or you feel you are at risk? You go to your leader. At this point in the pandemic your wellbeing is strongly tied to your leader/manager/supervisor. If you work under a poorly performing leader (I do not have to define that, you know what that would look like), you would not bring up your concerns. But if you have a leader with their heart on their sleeves, you will speak up. A compassionate, competent and collaborative leader makes you feel safe at work, in the midst of all the pandemic stress. Mayo Clinic has shown this to be a fact. They ran 2 studies that linked staff wellbeing with leadership scores of their manager. In 2013 they surveyed 2,813 doctors and in 2017 they surveyed 39,896 Mayo Clinic employees, excluding doctors, reporting very similar outcomes. The immediate supervisor leadership score was strongly associated with burnout and satisfaction of individual employees after adjusting for sex, age, duration of employment and job category. Each one-point increase in composite leadership score of the supervisor is associated with a 7% decrease in the likelihood of burnout and an 11% increase in the likelihood of job satisfaction. What does this mean for us? This pandemic is a long-haul journey to COVID normal. If you're in any position of leadership, have a big heart. Your team depends on you being a good leader. Your leadership influences their levels of burnout and job satisfaction. No fancy campaigns or expensive programs, be a good person. Have heart and humility. If you do not have a formal position of leadership, lead from within. We all have influence on our workplaces.
Stephen Hawking gave this piece of advice to his children during a June 2010 interview on ABC News: "One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away."
Beyond the pandemonium that is this pandemic, beyond the science and epidemiology that is pursuing this virus, beyond the fear and confusion, are 7.6 billion human hearts that beats with hope. We have seen the cracks in our health system. We have seen the true colours of leadership. We have seen the dark inequities that exist within our society. The fatalistic, nihilistic, catastrophising view is to say "it is what it is." The clinician scientists with a hopeful world view would say, "let's rewrite the story beyond the curve". Let's build a new normal. Let's focus on and fix a few things. You say we can't change the world. Well, the world has already changed. We now have a pandemic momentum to change a few things. For hope to be realistic, it has to be tangible and measurable in the present. We can start by writing down the top 3 things in our workplaces that we can change. How do we support frontline non-clinicians? How do we improve HCW protection? How do we empower team leaders? How do we better communicate the science? How do we reduce inequities?
So today, how can we and our leaders practically apply Humility, Heart & Hope in our workplaces?

Every year the Edinburgh University Theatre Company showcases its most powerful voices and dynamic talent in its own Fringe venue and is proud to present Remember This, at the 2011 Fringe. A comedy drama with mass appeal, Remember This is a witty and contemporary piece of new writing with an honest approach to love and loss at its core.
Memories can escape us, in time. Who knows what really happened, and what has been imagined to fill in those gaps? Nick and Helen are on a quest to reclaim the truth. Armed with nothing but a slide projector and a set of old photographs, they track the last ten years of their relationship, creating a funny and honest account of how they got to where they are today.
Remember This distinguishes itself with its unique approach to storytelling using not only live sensory prompts to tickle the audience's responses, like a spritz of perfume or a snippet of an old song woven seamlessly into the action, but with a jumbled array of projected photos, telling the story in an almost backwards order.
Co-writer Lizzie Bourne won the Spotlight Best Actress Award for her role in the EUTC's production of Amadeus at NSDF 2011. As a writer, her debut piece, Only One Wing, won the NSDF Ensemble Award at the Fringe in 2010. Co-writer Florence Vincent is currently a writer for the Webby Award-winning series Eastenders: E20 and has garnered Best Director and Best Ensemble Awards at the Durham Drama Festival in 2009.
'Bourne does an admirable job of turning a desperately sad situation into something magical and uplifting...' - The Scotsman (Praise for Only One Wing, Fringe 2010).

Q: Devise doesn't control the exact id to edit a user I installed devise in a rails app. If a user is log in he could access to every other users edit pages.
For example, i'm user_id 2, i can edit profile of user 1/3/4/5.....when i modify params manually in the route.
Here my App Controller :

Thanks a lot!

A: Devise is an authentication library. You have authorization problem. So, you should use something for the authorization. I use CanCan. With it, you can define privileges like this:
 can :edit, User, id: current_user.id

If you don't want to learn another library, you can always do ghetto-authorization in your controllers.
class UsersController
  before_action :can_edit_only_self, only: [:edit, :update, :destroy]

  private

  def can_edit_only_self
    redirect_to root_path unless params[:id] == current_user.id
  end
end

* authentication - I know who you are
* authorization - I know what you are allowed to do

A: The problem is this:
def edit
  @user = User.find(params[:id])
end

def update
  @user = User.find(params[:id])
  @user.update(user_params)

  redirect_to user_path(@user)
end

If you don't want to users to be able to edit other users then you don't need these 2 methods. You can also change your route file to:
resources :users, except: [:edit, :update] do
  resources :projects
end

Update
If you make the previous edits and type rake routes in the terminal, you should see that Devise provides a controller action for editing users. It should be users/edit without the :id param. In the Devise::RegistrationsController, the edit method should just use the current_user helper method for editing the currently logged in user's account information.
If you do want admin user's to be able to edit other users then you'll want to read about one of the following Gems

*

*Can Can

*Pundit
With these gems you can define which user "roles" are allowed to edit other users based on their roles. You can also use these gems to give permission to create, read, update, delete other resources.

Make Your Dream Of Building A New Home in The Calgary Area a Reality!
If you are considering building a new home in the Calgary area, we are ready to help you get the information you need and the quality you want! When building a new home you need to protect your investment with Realtor representation! We can be your new construction buyers agent. Our expertise in real estate and new home construction ensures that you'll have a smooth, hassle-free, and pleasant experience while building the home of your dreams!
We've heard the disappointment in homeowners voices when they called us after they built! Hindsight is 20-20. At that point this is little we can do. If building a home is your dream, then you need a Miami Valley Dream Home agent to represent you.
As your new construction agent, we represent your interests from the shopping for builders, selecting a floor plan, negotiating the contract, guiding you during the construction, and seeing that you have the dream home you ordered. Many agents show up only for the initial meeting with the builder. We show up for each meeting, walk through, and help you with the home inspection prior to your final purchase.
Why you need an agent when building a new home.
There is no cost to you when using a Realtor as your new construction agent. Builders desire and encourage Realtor participation. Compensation to the Realtor is paid by the builder and is considered a marketing fee that has no impact on the final cost of the home to a buyer. Builders hire very nice and competent sales people at the builder's models, but keep in mind those sales agents are looking out for the best interest of the builder. That's why you need an agent looking out for your interest.
Are you getting what you've ordered – both in quality and value? We know what you should receive and what "upgrades" will be available and which will truly increase the value of your home.
When building a home, we need to consider your investment in contrast to appreciation for resale. Considering questions of location, builder reputation, design popularity, and quality of craftsmanship are important. We understand that you are building not only for today, but for the future as well. Give your investment the greatest opportunity for appreciation and ease of sale at the moment you need to relocate.
With us by your side, you and your best interests are represented. Our experience, knowledge, and reputation represents strength and leverage on your behalf.
Most builders have a policy that if you enter their model without a Realtor, you are their customer and cannot be represented by your own agent. However, most builders will honor your relationship with your Realtor if you tell the salespeople upfront that you are working with Calgary CIR agent Steve Williamson and the NextBigMoveCalgary Team. When you give your name to the builder, give our name to them also.
It is always best to call us and we will be happy to meet you at the model and call the new home builder in advance. Builders do not give you any discount or price variation whether or not you have Realtor representation. They do sometimes oversell features and "upgrades" in a home that will NOT increase the market value of a home.
WHY HAVE US REPRESENT YOU IN YOUR NEW CONSTRUCTION PURCHASE?
We have a personal interest in the resale value of your home as our future inventory to sell for you some day in the future. The builder has little interest in the future value. Present value and final sales price are his/her concern.
There are many wonderful builders in Calgary and surrounding towns. We work with new construction and have also built homes personally. Sometimes we can offer suggestions that very much affect resale pricing in the future that cost little or no money now, but ultimately can increase salability or value of your home in the future.
Let us work with you in building your Calgary Dream Home. We will work through the obstacles for you so you can enjoy the process.
Before you visit a builder's model, let us call the builder and register you so your best interests can represented by a Calgary area Realtor.
Some of the most desirable new home communities in Calgary are: Beltline, Cranston, Evanston, Tuscany, Auburn Bay, Douglasdale/Glen, Copperfield, McKenzie Towne, Mahogany, Evergreen, Silverado and Millrise.

`Strategy`_
===========

Terminology:
------------

-  Context
-  Strategy
-  Concrete Strategy

Purpose
-------

To separate strategies and to enable fast switching between them. Also
this pattern is a good alternative to inheritance (instead of having an
abstract class that is extended).

Examples
--------

-  sorting a list of objects, one strategy by date, the other by id
-  simplify unit testing: e.g. switching between file and in-memory
   storage

On The Horizon: How dogs may help fight bone cancer
Dogs and bone cancer
A multitude of potential advances are ON THE HORIZON in the field of cancer research, as reported by Susan Spencer:
Meet Zoe. She's eight years old, full of heart, and these days, does pretty well on only three legs. Yeah, that's a good girl!
Veterinarians, and dogs like Zoe, team up with cancer doctors in the field of comparative oncology to find a cure for osteosarcoma. CBS News
Doctors had to amputate one of Zoe's front legs last fall when she was diagnosed with life-threatening bone cancer.
"Dogs get cancer," said Dr. Cheryl London. "It's the most common reason for a dog to die."
Today Zoe and fellow Great Dane Murphy are part of a new study which may help people as much as their dogs.
It's the pet project of veterinarian Cheryl London, a research professor at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, and Dr. Katie Janeway, at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer Center.
"We are trying to understand cancers in dogs and develop new treatments, and then apply those to humans," Dr. London said.
This growing field is called comparative oncology -- veterinarians teaming up with cancer doctors to find a cure.
"It puts the whole idea of dog being man's best friend in a completely new light!" said Spencer.
"Nobody would think of them as volunteers in a clinical trial of a new drug that could someday save your life."
And may save theirs.
Oncologist Janeway treats the same type of bone cancer in children that London treats in dogs: Osteosarcoma.
"It's been three or four decades since we've had a new approach in osteosarcoma that's worked," Dr. Janeway said.
"How is this any better than using the traditional model, of the mouse in the lab?" asked Spencer.
"Mice don't have an immune history like you and I do," Dr. London replied. "Because they're kept in cages, and they're isolated. Dogs get exposed to many different antigens."
And osteosarcoma, in kids and dogs, is astonishingly similar.
And the ultimate goal here? "Very promising new drugs for osteosarcoma," said Dr. Janeway.
With any luck, a new drug might even come in Zoe's lifetime. If not, well, it'll still have her pawprints all over it.

One of my current lecturers looks like Richard will in 25 years time, and I have to constantly fight the urge to hug him. It's not that I have a crush on him or anything like that (thank $deity that I'm mostly too old for that sort of thing except when it comes to synthpop bands), just that he's so fluffy and beardy and geeky and jumper-wearing and softly-spoken and tea-drinking that I feel like I already know him much better than I actually do. He is always smiling and very enthusiastic about what he teaches, to the point where I find myself wanting to nod and agree with all of it simply because he's so nice.
Must remind self. Hug family wuzzies because they're mine. Do not traumatise lecturer wuzzies by trying to hug them. That would be cruelty to wuzzies.
Hee. I know the feeling.


What is your overall retention rate?
Membership180 was started almost 4 years ago to help Associations and Chambers grow their membership sustainability through a new version of an old program…the dreaded Membership Campaign. While we still work with organizations hosting campaigns across North America in a dramatically different way, we've since branched out to offer staff development work, facilitation of Board retreats and speaking engagements that help your members market themselves better and sell more effectively. But the number one question I get asked FAR more than any other is simply this: How do I know if my Chamber or Association is READY for growth?
So let's dig in! Here are my top three questions I ask prospective clients to see if they're ready to take on a significant project, whether it be a third-party-facilitated membership campaign or an "in-house" sort of "do-it-yourself" campaign…or something completely different.
What is your penetration rate? In other words, what percentage of businesses in your footprint are already members? If you're in a small community (Chambers) or industry (Associations), the possibility exists that you already have an overwhelming majority of your potential members "locked up". For organizations with 75% penetration rates and higher, it may be difficult to see the ROI in an extended program like a campaign or membership drive. I routinely suggest that those organizations focus on delivering championship level customer service and support, and to work hard on shoring up member engagement. For those under 30%, there may be a SIGNIFICANT rationale for a targeted effort to bring folks in.
What is your overall retention rate? If you have a retention rate at or above the 85% range, we can reasonably assume you're doing some things right and the new members you bring on are going to be satisfied with the services you offer. As long as your overall retention rate is over 80% and your penetration rate points to the viability of a concerted effort, I'd say you're ALMOST there! We just need to check one last box before we decide if you're ready to increase your membership by 8-12% or more in a matter of weeks.
What is your 1st year retention rate? This question answers a few others automatically. I want to know if your affairs are in order, if your Board of Directors is squared away and playing an active role, if your staff is solid and if your pricing model works. While knowing your first year retention rate might not tell me EVERYTHING I want to know, it certainly points me towards the information. If your first year retention rate is below 65%, I typically recommend an Engagement Workshop to really focus on getting that number up before we worry about adding a ton of new members, regardless of what the other numbers say. There's no benefit to bringing members in only to lose them the next year. In fact, it's quite detrimental to the long-term success of your organization.
So there you have it! I'd love to hear from YOU. What are YOUR organizations' penetration rate, overall retention rate and first-year retention rate? Does every person on your staff know these numbers? I'd strongly recommend you make sure they do! We can't manage what we don't measure, right? Let's keep these three numbers top-of-mind within our Chambers and Associations and see where it takes us.

Valley First has donated between $10,000 and $25,000 to four different organizations as part of its Simple Generosity program. (Contributed)
Credit union cash helps Okanagan businesses
Valley First donates between $10,000 and $25,000 to four separate organizations to help businesses grow
Local businesses have been helped to keep growing thanks to Valley First.
The financial institution – a division of First West Credit Union – will distribute donations of $10,000 to $25,000. They are gifts of support, part of Valley First's year of Simple Generosity in which $1 million is being distributed to individuals, families, non-profits and businesses throughout B.C.
In the final round of donations, entitled 'Good For Business,' Valley First is focusing on entrepreneurs in the communities they serve.
Instead of choosing only a few businesses to receive direct funding, Valley First is instead making donations to organizations that can reach many more local businesses through their programs and services.
Recipients include: Community Futures North Okanagan (CFNO), Vinica Education Society, Accelerate Okanagan, and Community Futures Development Corporation of Central Interior First Nations.
With a $25,000 donation, CFNO will be able to create and implement a Human Resources Tool-kit that their clients can use to attract and retain employees.
"This donation will help address significant issues impacting nearly every business – recruitment and retention of labour," says Leigha Horsfield, executive director of CFNO. "Our Momentum Program participants have identified this as a barrier to their business growing and expanding, and this donation will go towards helping them recruit and retain the skilled labour their businesses need."
Valley First is sharing the individual stories of all their Good for Business recipient on their Facebook, LinkedIn page and Instagram account, where you can read further insights from the organizations receiving Simple Generosity donations.
"We talk to our business members every day and while many feel more positive about future prospects, they remain entangled by the financial and resource constraints brought by the pandemic," says Paulo Araujo president of Valley First. "Within our Simple Generosity program, we are boosting their opportunities to access education, resources, mentorship and other forms of support by funding programs that help owners grow and run a thriving business."

Burger King trolls McDonald's with 1 cent burger promotion
In a new marketing campaign, Burger King is offering its Whopper burgers for 1 cent, but with a dramatic catch.
Posted: Dec 6, 2018 6:53 AM
Posted By: CNN
Burger King wants people to download its app. So it's sending them to McDonald's for access to a one-cent Whopper.
Here's how it works: If you're within 600-feet of a McDonald's you can unlock a deal for a penny Whopper using the Burger King app. The app then offers directions to a nearby participating Burger King, where you can pick up the burger. The company announced the deal on Tuesday. It runs through December 12, and customers can only access it once.
Burger King's not the only fast food chain trying out creative ways to get people to download its mobile app. McDonald's recently ran a $1 fries promotion through its app, and Wendy's often offers deals through its app as well. Through digital platforms, fast food chains can learn more about consumer tastes and offer personalized promotions.
Fast food chains use stunts to get customers to pay attention, and vie for their business. Fast food eaters aren't particularly loyal to one brand over another, BTIG analyst Peter Saleh told CNN Business this summer.
For Burger King, its particularly important to win back customers.
The burger chain only recently announced plans to upgrade its stores to include digital menu boards and self-order kiosks — changes that its rivals have already put into place, helping increase sales.
Burger King's US comparable sales slipped by 0.7% in the third quarter. Meanwhile, same-store US sales rose by 2.4% in the third quarter at McDonald's.
Still, Burger King's cheeky approach is "pretty innovative," noted Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy. And so far, it's been a huge success.
More than 50,000 people have redeemed the deal so far, Burger King's Global Chief Marketing Officer Fernando Machado told CNN Business. That's about 20 times more redemptions than for any other Burger King app promotion, he estimated.
The promotion also boosted the app from ninth to first place in the iTunes App Store's food and drink category, he said.
To pull the Whopper Detour off, Burger King geofenced more than 14,000 US McDonald's locations. Machado said that it took about a year to pull the promotion together. "We want the functionality to be working really well," he said. "Or else it backfires."
Some people have complained about glitches on Twitter. Machado's not too worried about that.
"Sometimes someone has a poor connection, or maybe one specific restaurant out of 14,000 may not have been geolocated properly or somebody tried to redeem the coupon during breakfast," Machado said. But he noted that the difficulties have been the "exception."
The fast food brand has a history of flashy stunts. In January, the chain released an ad criticizing the Trump administration's decision to repeal net neutrality rules. The three-minute ad shows a "social experiment" in which a Burger King store implements a Whopper "fast lane."
It also released a video showing employees charging female customers a "chick tax" on chicken fries in pink packaging for a stunt designed to call attention to the so-called pink tax on women's products.
To promote the Whopper Detour, Burger King published a video showing customers ordering Whoppers from confused McDonald's employees.
Machado doesn't recommend that people go through McDonald's drive-thrus to redeem their burgers.
"We don't want to disrupt," he said, noting that one of the reasons the chain settled on a 600-foot radius was to make sure people didn't have to use the drive-thru to access the promotion.
Burger King's strategy is a bit risky, Hottovy noted. Not only does the tech have to work well, but once Burger King has driven customers to McDonald's, they may just order food from McDonald's.
"Convenience is really what consumer are looking for," he noted. That "may even trump free food giveaways."
Burger King didn't let McDonald's know what was coming. "We forgot to tell them," Machado said, adding that McDonald's hasn't reached out, but that he hopes the rival sees the stunt as just a bit of fun.
McDonald's did not respond to a request for comment.
It's not unusual for fast food rivals to go after McDonald's (MCD) in their marketing, Hottovy said. "McDonald's is the largest player in this category," he noted. That puts "a target on their back."

Nicole Kidman Takes Home Another Best Actress Prize For West End Play 'Photograph 51'
By Holly Williams in Movies / TV / Theatre on 22 February 2016
Follow Nicole Kidman
Her triumphant return to theatre strikes a chord.
Nicole Kidman's long awaited return to the West End has resulted in triumph as she takes home the coveted prize of Best Actress in a Play at the WhatsOnStage awards for her incredible scientist role in 'Photograph 51', which ran in Autumn 2015.
Nicole Kidman takes home another award for 'Photograph 51'
The actress - who adds the award to her already extensive accolade collection which includes an Oscar, three Golden Globes and a BAFTA among others - was honoured with the prize at the ceremony which took place at the Prince of Wales Theatre on Sunday (February 21st 2016), with the play itself also landing the award for Best New Play. She beat fellow nominees Denise Gough ('People, Places and Things'), Lia Williams ('Oresteia'), Rosalie Craig ('As You Like It') and Harriet Walter ('Death of a Salesman'), while play itself was up against 'The Hangmen', 'Oppenheimer', 'People, Places and Things' and 'Farinelli and the King'.
Kidman portrayed the British scientist Rosalind Franklin in the play about the revolutionary research surrounding the molecular structures of DNA, RNA and photography. It was a role particularly close to her heart, given that her own father Antony was a biochemist who passed away in 2014. The Michael Grandage directed play ran between September and November at the Noël Coward Theatre and marked the first West End role for Kidman in over 15 years.

'I had an emotional need for this performance because of my dad', she told the DailyMail. 'I've had a lot of scientists come and say thank you.' Another big winner from the WhatsOnStage awards was Benedict Cumberbatch, who landed Best Actor In A Play for his 'Hamlet' revival which also won Best Play Revival.
Nicole Kidman has been working alongside director Michael Grandage again with the upcoming biographical drama 'Genius' starring Jude Law and Colin Firth, a story exploring the career of Scribner book editor Max Perkins who oversaw such literature by Thomas Wolfe, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. She's also set to appear in the Indian/Australian drama 'Lion' alongside Dev Patel and Rooney Mara and the romantic comedy 'How to Talk to Girls at Parties'.

Research by Lynette Hughes and Gerard Leavey at the Northern Ireland Association of Mental Health in Belfast, UK, shows that athletes may be more vulnerable to developing mental illness than the general population. Results from their studies show that increased risk stems from pressure to perform, and from the variability in healthcare and diagnostic standards between sports psychologists, who are routinely employed by professional sports federations to work with players. But sports psychologists often target only those issues that will improve athletic performance, not overall mental health.

Irish U21s manager Stephen Kenny has given a positive update about potentially including U19s standout strikers Troy Parrott and Adam Idah in his upcoming squads for their European qualifiers.
Parrott and Idah have both impressed for their respective clubs this season with the former grabbing 14 goals for Spurs' U18s and the latter scoring eight times for Norwich U23s.
Both are also a part of Tom Mohan's impressive U19s squad which reached the elite phase of the European Qualifiers in October, with Parrott scoring a hat-trick against the Faroe Island and Idah bagging against Netherlands and Bosnia.
When asked about the pair being fast-tracked to the U21s side, despite being 16 and 17 respectively, Kenny conceded that if their form continues he may have to consider them for a call-up.
"Troy Parrott and Adam Idah being fast-tracked to the 21s is something we are going to have to consider, admitted Kenny.
"It'll be based on form but it's early to make statements as to who is going to be in the squad. I was at Spurs vs Liverpool the U23s match a few weeks ago and Troy came on for the last few minutes.
The former Dundalk boss selected a home training squad on Thursday, with nine different League of Ireland clubs represented.
Shamrock Rovers have had three players called up while there are call-ups for Sligo Rovers centre-back John Mahon, Cork City defender Conor McCarthy, St. Patrick's Athletic midfielder Jamie Lennon and also included are the UCD trio of Conor Kearns, Liam Scales and Neil Farrugia.
Kenny was also quizzed about getting the balance between the likes of Troy Parrott and Adam Idah who are impressing at big clubs but only at underage level, and the domestic selections who are gaining first-team experience in important games but in a less heralded league.
"That's the art of picking of picking a squad," said Kenny.
"Some of the U23 games in England are better than others, they are different types of games. You have to think about whether the cut and thrust of League One or League Two or the League of Ireland is a better platform for the players where the outcome of the games is hugely significant.

Soofia was established as a primary school in 1990 by the descendants of people alienated from Indian subcontinent more than a century ago and settled in Butha-Buthe, Lesotho. The primary aim of establishing Soofia was to provide a platform for the cultural and social pluralism and promote an international outlook in the young generation so that they not only support the growth of the nation but the entire world.
To fulfill the dreams of the founding members, Soofia began shifting from the local curriculum to Cambridge International in its all levels of education in 2014.It currently offers Cambridge International curricula in the Primary, Secondary1, Secondary2(IGCSC) and Advanced Level(A-Level). It also runs a Pre-school which allows young children to be given sufficient foundation in line with the curriculum offered in Cambridge Primary.
Soofia's e-learning platform is widely used by learners and educators. Our computer lab is fully equipped with necessary hardware and software to enable technology assisted teaching and learning.
The staff provide maximum support for learners to achieve their full potential. It is reflected in the performance of learners in academic and extra-curricular activities. Learners participate in a wide variety non-academic activities. Professional training is provided for soccer, netball, basketball, tennis and table tennis. Soofia's debating team is one of the best in the country. In recent years, we became national champions three times. All members of our school community are encouraged to give maximum attention and care to environmental issues.
This website will give an insight into the complete functioning of our school.


Every time we read a poem, it gives us a new meaning.
I don't need World Poetry Day to make a strong case for poetry. Those who read poetry will always do it. And those who write it may always carry an unfinished poem in their hearts. But the occasion that is observed on March 21 is just one more reason for me to believe in the power of poetry and in what its light can do.
When I wrote my first poem as a 16-year-old, she was my friend. A friend I fashioned out of stumbling words, a friend who understood my awkward solitude and weird longings. I never imagined I would end up becoming a poet or that I would start taking my craft as seriously as my life. But I was certain even then that it was a relationship I had forged through the unfettered world of imagery and imagination.
Great poetry – whichever language it's written in – prevails in the toughest times, even when "peotry" (a word I heard someone use to describe bad poetry) is popular, perhaps nudged along by social media. But this doesn't worry me terribly because great poetry shines through all the fake glitter. And without the bad, how can one appreciate the good?
It is the good poetry that can truly become balm for the soul. (I speak for poetry written in English as that's what I read and write, but it applies to all languages.) Besides the calming effect of writing verse inspired by one's darkest hours, there is enduring therapy in reading it. I remember feeling utterly humbled when a friend said one of my poems helped her while she was grieving the death of a loved one. So, one doesn't have to be a poet to reap its benefits.
As William Sieghart says in the introduction to his Poetry Pharmacy – a set of poems he chooses and prescribes for various "afflictions" – "you don't need to be a poet to find solace in poetry" and goes on to mention various poems that comforted him during different troubling phases in his life. The book itself is a reaffirmation of the power and role of poetry in our lives.
Depression, unrequited love, self-doubt, lack of motivation, mental and emotional well-being, love and loss, grief…every malady and experience known to humanity finds a poem in the book; a poem to help us cope with life in its full madness. Can there be a better poem than Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman'" to reinstate confidence and courage? When she says, "I'm a woman/Phenomenally./Phenomenal woman,/That's me," the soul sings along and rejoices.
That unexpected turn at the end, the gleeful surprise is bound to bring a smile to any one and that's what clever poetry can do. Such lines can turn even someone who doesn't read poetry into someone who turns to it for the sheer pleasure of it. Who isn't moved by the forceful simplicity of Arun Kolatkar's "Pi-dog"?
When Kolatkar writes, "This is the time of day I like best, / and this the hour / when I can call this city my own; / when I like nothing better / than to lie down here, at the exact centre / of this traffic island / …the concrete surface hard, flat and cool / against my belly, / my lower jaw at rest on crossed forepaws;…" we see a beautiful sepia photograph of this dog lying somewhere in Kala Ghoda in Mumbai, watching the world come to life. And we become part of his gaze. Poetry, when it is as subtle and unassuming as this, can offer such simple joys as well.
Some poets are able to say the most profound things in the most minimalist fashion. Take "Fairytales" by Hollie McNish: "don't end / they just finish on a high / like a sensible athlete / or a butterfly". The poem says so much by not saying much.
This line leaves us with a lingering sadness and gains all the more significance in light of his recent death.
Poets can choose to make their universe external or turn them into their private gardens. It is a freedom and right they exercise, but whatever they choose, it is only the powerful words that transform. When readers recognise their trauma or emotions in the words of poets they have never met, the most incredible thing happens. And this catharsis helps people deal with the most overwhelming situations in life.
As a genre, poetry may be demanding. It may ask you to return to read it many times, but gift you each time a certain meaning, a particular message. For all the power it holds, for the humanity it contains and imparts, it will always be one of the most transformative art forms.

Quality School Meals That Benefit All
In 2021, California became the first state in the nation to provide free breakfast and lunch to all K–12 students. Now we're building on that historic achievement with vital investments for school food infrastructure, staff training, and more freshly prepared, California-grown school meals.
The School Meals For All Coalition consists of more than 70 organizations representing education, health, agriculture, and food banks. We advocate for investments in school meals that fight child hunger, support rural and agricultural communities, help mitigate climate change, strengthen regional school food supply chains, and support school nutrition workers.
SMFA Sponsors Embark on Listening Tour
The School Meals For All sponsors are visiting school districts and farms across the state to spotlight successful nutrition programs and learn how we can continue to advocate on their behalf. Read More.
