No need for special occasion to celebrate those who've put our country in the world map, and who continue to be great ambassadors for our beloved nation . Today I choose to celebrate @therealmambazo for the success they have amassed, 6 #GRAMMYs later and still going strong!
Do you remember this performance from the 61st #GRAMMYs? @JLo pays tribute to @motown alongside @aliciakeys, @NeYoCompound and @smokeyrobinson! Reliving it again on #GRAMMYsMotown60!
One day I'll perform at the #Grammys. Just want this tweet to exist, so when it eventually never happens, my haters have something to throw in my face.
2 years ago today, @KendrickLamar released his fourth studio album "DAMN." The #1 album spawned hits such as "HUMBLE" and "Loyalty" ft. @Rihanna, and was awarded "Best Rap Album" at the 2018 #GRAMMYs, as well as winning the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Music in the same year.


These are pretty 18k Amethyst Long Drop Hook Gold Plated Earrings.
From the hook at the ear a fine chain, holding 4 small amethysts, fall to a large, faceted, darker purple Amethyst.
The earrings are made of 18k yellow gold plated brass in a Frame Setting.

Large Popcorn, No Butter
Film with a sense of humor.
Ocean's 8: The Problem with All-Female Casts
HA! Roped you in, didn't I? I bet you were all like "OMG SHE HATES FEMALE CASTS! FAKE NEWS! CLICK BAIT!" Well, I suppose you were sort of right about that last one...but I digress (as usual).
Let me be first to say I am 100% in favor of women-centered movies and casts. Look at masterpieces like Clueless, Bridesmaids, and Girl's Trip. Women's movies don't have to be all kumbaya to be relatable. They can be hilarious, they can be cool, they can be dramatic -- they can be all the things that every other kind of movie can be. But you know what they can't be? Inauthentic.
If you had to give me one word to describe a lot of the recent attempts at all-female cast movies it would be that word: inauthentic.
Honestly, I haven't seen a movie as bad as Ocean's 8 in a really long time. And I'm the girl who sat through Oliver Stone's 1981 horror The Hand (yes, that was terrible too, but far more entertaining).
Michael Caine plays a cartoonist haunted by his amputated, murderous hand.
Yes, this is the same director that did Wall Street.
To be fair, female relationships are really hard to capture on film in general. Women are weird. We're raised in a society that praises us for being pretty, teaches us to be suspicious of other women, and has a history of pitting us against each other. Manipulation has a tendency to run rampant in inauthentic female friendships. If you don't trust a girl, you can be nice to her face but you won't be her friend -- and most girls can almost always tell the different between being nice and being friends. Maybe that's why girl friendships are so damn special -- and why movies that are supposed to be about us always end up being so fucking shitty.
Ocean's 8 makes a lot of mistakes with its...well, existence, if I'm being frank.
First of all, there's no reason to add to the Ocean saga, so like let's not.
ALSO HOW COULD YOU KILL DANNY??
(I bet he died in a really cool way though...
like Thelma and Louise style with Brad Pitt...)
Second of all, it seems blatantly obvious that they made Ocean's 11, took out like 95% of the emotion driving the heist, made the guys into girls, and tried to swap "cool" for "glam." Or something.
Whatever kind of cool they try to make these women, though...it does not play. Guys may earn the respect of other guys by being cool, but I can't think of many girls I know who respond to "cool." Girls respond to respect. Think about what works so well in Bridesmaids: they attack the pettiness factor dead-on, they're honest about it, and in the end everyone ends up being friends because they respect each other.
Ocean's 8, Ghostbusters, and many other attempts at these female-driven, nonsensical reincarnations completely disregard depth for the chance to "change it up." The plot becomes irrelevant because the fans of the prior version are going to drive to the theater anyway. And the egregious error in disregarding characters and storyline in these movies is that they become painfully boring. I really don't give a shit whose jewels they are -- none of these characters have me believing that they're real because they put out zero emotion for the entire duration of the film. Oh they stole them? Oh cool, I have more emotional involvement in the fact that I ran out of popcorn.
Ya, it's prob made out of fucking rock candy, who cares.
While Bullock emulates Clooney as best as she can, the context doesn't work. Being betrayed by a former lover that she doesn't even really seem to have liked that much anyway doesn't give us a lot of emotional investment. Worse, it turns her heist into a classic "woman scorned" trope that seriously does no one any favors. And we don't even really get the impression that she's smart -- she had been pulling off a handful of deals at a community bingo over in Jersey, we learn at one point. Seriously? What is this, amateur hour? She goes from knocking over bingo to stealing jewelry at the MET GALA? I don't buy it.
Actually, I kind of had a hard time believing that any of these women were smart. Instead of getting insights into their backgrounds and them being people that the two mains know already, each basically gets accepted into the fold regardless. We don't learn hardly anything about them.
This lack of any investment in the outcome completely disintegrates what makes heist movies so fun. In Ocean's 11, the ending is a "WOAH" moment. In Ocean's 8, the ending is an "Oh." moment.
3 outa 10. Seriously, so disappointed by this film, even though I didn't really have high hopes. But not even entertaining in a stupid kind of way. Just mundane. Hollywood needs to do better for these ladies.

This edited post about New Zealand's Bay of Plenty was originally published on the Avanti Travel Insurance blog where I write a regular post for them.
In 1796 Captain James Cook anchored off the shores of a large bight in the north-east of New Zealand's North Island. He noted the supplies of food at the Maori villages along the shores of the bay were plentiful. Accordingly, he named it the Bay of Plenty.
With 259km of sandy coastline, a mild climate and a large sheltered natural harbour it is becoming increasingly popular with international visitors. There is always plenty to do in and around the Bay of Plenty.
With so much coast open to the Pacific swells the Bay of Plenty is a popular destination for surfers from novice to experienced. For those wanting to learn there are a number of surf schools set up in Tauranga during the summer. At the less commercialised Waihi Beach there also several surf schools.
Tauranga is New Zealand's Riviera. Its beaches and climate make it a great place for a beach holiday and an ideal base from which to explore the rest of the region. Tauranga's biggest attraction is Mount Maunganui, a prominent feature along the coast that holds cultural significance for the local Maori. There are hiking trails to the top with amazing views of the bay. For those who are less energetically inclined, there are also marked paths around the base of the mountain.
The Bay of Plenty region is known for the production of kiwi fruits and there are many growers who welcome visitors. You will learn more about the kiwi fruit, how it is cultivated and sample not only the fruit but other products too.
There are a number of rivers, waterfalls and country parks for outdoor activities away from the coast. Many of the waterfalls are easily accessible and are great for picnics and a cool dip in the deep pools. McLaren Falls Park close to, and easily accessible from Tauranga is very popular for picnickers on summer days. Crowds tend to gather round the waterfalls the park is named after but there are quieter spots in the park itself.
Several companies offer river tours in kayaks on the many rivers in the region. One of the more unusual and magical tours to take is an evening paddle along a narrow gorge lit by thousands of glow worms.
Tauranga, one of New Zealand's largest natural harbours, is a popular destination for cruise ships and has a well-developed tourist infrastructure. There are a number of cruises around the natural lagoon and out into the waters of the Bay of Plenty. Cruises around the lagoon are informative both of the local Maori culture and the workings of a large seaport.
Migratory whales and schools of dolphins can often be seen out in the bay and there is a chance to take what locally has been called "seafaris" to see them and other marine wildlife.
The ultimate boat tour is a trip from Whakatane further along the coast to White Island. This is New Zealand's only active marine volcano and can be identified by the plume of smoke emitting from the peak. Boat trips will land passengers on the island were they will be taken on a guided hike among various geothermal features. For those wanting to splurge a little, there are helicopter trips to the island by aptly named Volcanic Air, which also land passengers for a guided hike. The flight in gives a completely different perspective.
Colourful pools are a result of geothermal activity in the area around Rotorua.
New Zealand sits on a number of fault lines. As a result of this there a number of active geothermal areas in the Bay of Plenty region worth visiting. The best known of these is the town of Rotorua where there are several active geothermal features. You can see constantly erupting geysers, boiling mud pools and hot springs along with colourful deposits from minerals left behind by evaporating water. The thermally heated waters are also utilised in a number of spas in the town.
Rotorua is also one of the best places learn more about the Maori people with several cultural centres and museums dedicated to educating people about the first peoples of New Zealand.
There was a massive surge of interest in New Zealand as a result of the movies The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. All the films featured many of the stunning landscapes the country is famous for. The movie set for Hobbiton can easily be visited from Tauranga and other centres in the Bay of Plenty. Tolkien fans will enjoy the guided tour around the 12-acre site past Hobbit Holes, the Mill and a stop at the Green Dragon Inn.
There is more than enough to do in the Bay of Plenty Region today. I wonder what Captain Cook would have made of it now? Being the explorer he was I am sure he would be keen to explore the region further.
Have you visited the Bay of Plenty? What would you recommend doing? Where else in New Zealand would you head to after Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty?

Q: Pystan 2.19.1.1- C++/MSVC compiler issues- cl.exe failed with exit status 2 Happy Halloween Weekend! Sorry that I have to reach out to ask for your expertise and your guidance regarding this issue I am facing with installing pystan and the C++ configuration. I have followed every single step in this website:https://pystan2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/windows.html and I am still not sure what steps I am missing. this is the error that I am seeing:

Does this occur because of windows 11? or if any of the experts could help me understand what are the C++ configuration and requirement?

I really hope to understand why this issue occurred


I am a 47-year-old man diagnosed with MS in my late twenties. The disease-modifying therapy IFN-b-1a has likely improved my quality of life and lessened the impact of my condition on society by allowing me to experience fewer and less serious exacerbations so that I can maintain employment and enjoy some degree of self-sufficiency. Three years ago, my insurance held a review and forced me to halt my DMT regimen for a period of three months. During that time, I experienced a major episode which presented significant nerve damage that rendered me unable to control my bladder and bowels, or even drive responsibly. The timing of this incident was enough to convince me that if I wanted to hold down a job, I must find a way to resume my injections. My neurologist works to "keep the horse in the barn" through DMTs, and her point is well taken: prevention is better than dealing with flare-ups after they occur. I absolutely need this medicine, and I'm grateful for the brilliant minds, funding, and patience that created it. But projecting price trends into the future suggests it's rapidly becoming utterly unaffordable, not just for my humble budget but also for my insurance. Relatives gasp to learn that this single prescription costs over $5,000. Imagine their faces when I explain that this isn't an annual charge, but rather a monthly price! Hartung et al conclude: "there is an urgent need to confront the soaring costs of DMTs." Quite so. Equally disturbing is the thought that pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in ensuring that progress towards a cure for MS is hampered because it would affect profits.

Жо́рна, зменш. жоре́нця — пристрій для ручного і механізованого помолу збіжжя, а також руд, складений з двох каменів, одного над другим, з котрих горішній є рухомий над долішнім. Один камінь жорен називається жо́рно (, род. відм.*žъr̥nъve, що виводиться від  — «важкий», «тяжкий»).

Історія

Попередниками жорен були ступки і зернотертки. Варіант зернотертки з округлою нижньою частиною, спорядженою заглибиною, відомий як «сідлові жорна». Згадки про «верхні» і «нижні» елементи жорен містяться у П'ятикнижжі Мойсеєвому: «Ніхто не візьме в заставу долішнього каменя жорен або горішнього каменя жорен, бо він душу взяв би в заставу» (Пов. зак. 24:6). Борошномельні пристрої з обертовими каменями, як вважається, з'явилися у V—IV століттях до н. е.: найранішим їх варіантом були так звані «вуликові» жорна, верхній камінь у яких мав півсферичну чи пончикоподібну форму, у заглибину зверху встановлювався кіш для зерна, а з'єднувалися камені залізною віссю. Один з варіантів римських жорен початку I тисячоліття н. е., судячи зі знахідок у Помпеях, виглядав таким чином: на циліндричній кам'яній основі діаметром 1,5 м і висотою 0,3 м встановлювався нерухомий кам'яний конус висотою бл. 50 см, із залізною цапфою на вершині; верхній обертовий камінь мав вигляд низького піскового годинника, нижньою частиною він надівався на конус (висота цапфи добиралася таким чином, щоб між каменями залишався невеликий простір), а у верхню засипалося зерно; у верхньому камені були отвори для важелів. Борошно збиралося на краях нижнього каменя. Для обертання верхнього каменя використовувалася мускульна сила людей або тварин (мускульний двигун).

Кам'яні жорна в поселеннях східних слов'ян відомі з VIII століття, у XVIII—XIX століттях майже в кожній оселі був цей простий, але такий необхідний у господарстві механізм. Про його глибинне побутування свідчить, зокрема, і згадка в давньому руському літописі, «Повісті временних літ». У ньому є фраза: , яка, безперечно, стосується роботи жорен. У процесі розвитку побутово-виробничої техніки постійно вдосконалювались і борошномельні пристрої, в тому числі й жорна. Людський досвід і господарські потреби змушували людей шукати нових, ефективніших засобів помелу зерна. Довелося певною мірою механізувати цей чисто ручний пристрій — на його основі з'явилися складніші та досконаліші механізми, зокрема водяні млини, а згодом вітряки. Так важку ручну працю було перекладено на водяну та вітрову енергію, що і зафіксувала народна мудрість: «Коло жорен піт втирають, коло млина пісні співають».

У кожній місцевості це знаряддя мало свої регіональні назви: на Харківщині це «мельничка», «млин», на Луганщині — «млинець» або «крупник», на Чернігівщині — «млинок», у зоні Полісся — «мучник» тощо.

У XIX і на початку XX сторіччя жорна в Україні вже частково стали пережитком минулого. Ними послуговувались тільки в окремих випадках, задовольняючи незначні господарські потреби, або ж у ритуальному церемоніалі. Як відомо, в багатьох регіонах подруги нареченої для весільного короваю мали розмолоти пшеничне зерно лише жорнами.

Колись по селах ходили спеціальні ремісники, яких звали жорнярами. Вони витісували жорнові камені (якщо в околиці була підхожа порода) і ремонтували дерев'яні деталі жорен, найчастіше жорнівку — ручку, якою крутили жорняний камінь. Жорнярі також «гострили» камені, адже при помелі вони поступово стирались і ставали гладкими. Щоб краще мололось, камені час від часу треба було «гострити» (кувати, карбувати) спеціальним молотком за назвою оскард, оскарб (від слова карбувати).

Нині жорна — вже віддалена історія. Невід'ємний колись елемент людського життя можна побачити хіба що в музейних експозиціях, зокрема в музеях просто неба — в Києві, Львові, Чернівцях, Ужгороді та інших.

Під час феодальних воєн жорнові камені використовувалися як зброя. Зокрема, таким був смертельно поранений Андрій Боратинський.

Конструкція жорен і принцип роботи

Жорна мають дуже просту будову: два круглі камені, влаштовані в коробці, та пристрій, за допомогою якого крутили горішній камінь.

За термінологією в Україні жорна поділялись на два типи: відкриті й закриті. До першого належали пристрої, камені яких були частково або повністю відкритими, і борошно висипалось безпосередньо на підстелене рядно.

Закритий тип мав спеціальний жолобок, через який борошно сипалось у посудину. Цей досконаліший варіант мав таку конструкцію: товста дошка (колода), закріплена на 4-ох ніжках (лабах); у заглибині колоди лежить нерухоме жорно (спідник, спідняк), над ним — рухоме (поверхник, верхняк); жорна оточує кожух (обичайка). У центрі верхнього жорна є отвір (прого́рниця); по діаметру проходить металева штаба (порпли́ця, рідше поркли́ця), на нижньому боці якої є заглибина (каганець), в яку впирається верхній кінець залізної осі (веретена), що проходить через отвір нижнього жорна — це грає роль вальниці ковзання. Над жорнами знаходиться перекладина на стовпцях, у вигляді літери П (кросна), через отвір у перекладині проходить вертикальна жердина (погонач, жорнівка, млін, милін), що нижнім кінцем упирається в круглу ямку у верхньому жорні (теж називається каганець). З-під нижнього жорна йде жолоб (мучник). Зерно насипають у прогорницю, обертають погонач, змелене борошно виходить через мучник у підставлене корито.

Дещо складнішу конструкцію мав ручний млин, що відрізнявся від жорен наявністю двох рам з корбою, цівкової передачі і коша з механізмом регулювання подачі зерна.

Спрощений варіант жорен використовували гончарі для обробки глиняної маси. Гончарські жорна не мали лаб і колоди.

Камені

Найскладнішими деталями були камені. Їх виготовляли з вапняку, оскільки він легше піддавався обробці. Там, де бракувало цього матеріалу, використовували деревину. З твердої породи, переважно дуба, відрізали круглий кльоц, оковували металевою обичайкою й густо набивали залізних скалок.

Важливим елементом жорен є насічка (карбування), яка забезпечує подрібнення і перетирання зерна.

У культурі
 , дві сестри-велетки зі скандинавської міфології, вимелювали золото гігантськими жорнами.

Цікаві факти
 Традиційно вважається, що тонфа, зброя окінавських бойових мистецтв, походить від руків'я-миліна ручних жорен.

The White Queen- Followmy.tv
The White Queen is described as a tale of love and loss, seduction and deception, betrayal and murder woven through the stories of three different yet equally driven women caught up in the ongoing conflict for the throne: Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville. The year is 1464 and England has been at war for nine years battling over who is the rightful King of England — it is a war between two sides of the same family, The House of York and The House of Lancaster, whose heraldic symbols were a white and red rose, respectively, giving the power struggle its name. The House of York's young and handsome Edward IV (Irons) is crowned King of England with the help of the master manipulator Lord Warwick "The Kingmaker" (Frain). But when Edward falls in love and secretly marries a beautiful young widow, the commoner Elizabeth Woodville (Ferguson), Warwick's plan for control over the throne comes crashing down around him. Meanwhile, Woodville becomes a queen with the help of her mother Jacquetta (McTeer), a self-proclaimed sorceress. Elizabeth's most fierce adversary is the staunchly loyal Lancastrian Margaret Beaufort (Hale), a damaged and highly religious woman who would willingly lay down her life to see her young son Henry Tudor take the throne. And then there is Anne Neville (Marsay), Lord Warwick The Kingmaker's daughter — a pawn in her father's battle for control who finds her strength and ambition when she takes control of her destiny and marries the King's younger brother Richard Duke of York (Aneurin Bernard).

Home » Experiential Education » Pro Bono Program » Student-Initiated Legal Services Projects (SLPS) » Current Student-Initiated Legal Services Projects » Reentry Advocacy Project
Students who participate in the Reentry Advocacy Project (RAP) have the opportunity to work with Root & Rebound, a non-profit in Oakland founded by Berkeley Law alums, to provide legal information to individuals who are reentering society from prison. Root & Rebound's mission is to transfer power and information from the policy and legal communities to the people most impacted by our criminal justice system through public education, direct legal services, and policy advocacy, so that the law serves, rather than harms, low-income communities and communities of color in the United States.
RAP Volunteers work alongside Root & Rebound attorneys to resolve nuanced legal questions and to provide reentry resources for formerly incarcerated individuals and their loved ones. Students who are available on Fridays assist with the Reentry Legal Hotline, which offers free legal information on reentry-related topics. Root & Rebound also receives approximately 400+ letters a week from currently incarcerated individuals; under the direction of an attorney, students research and respond to reentry-related questions in the letters. Students may also assist staff attorneys with other research or support projects. Using the Roadmap to Reentry guidebook developed by Root & Rebound, RAP Volunteers will grow familiar with California and federal law regarding reentry issues such as voting rights, registration laws, employment, and housing.
Supervision: Students will receive training and be supervised by attorneys at Root & Rebound.
Time Commitment: RAP Volunteers will complete 15-20 hours of pro bono work per semester. Volunteers will work on a bi-weekly basis with supervising attorneys at the Root & Rebound office in Downtown Oakland. Volunteers will be split into two cohorts: a Thursday Cohort that meets every other Thursday from 1:30pm-4:30pm to research and write letters and to assist with other legal research and advocacy needs and a Friday Cohort that meets every other Friday from 12pm-3pm to help with inquiries made through the Root & Rebound Reentry Legal Hotline. All volunteers are required to attend an evening training at the beginning of the semester (approximately three hours; exact time and date to be announced) and at least one Root & Rebound Clinic each semester (approximately two to eight hours, depending on the clinic; exact times and dates to be announced).
For more information, please contact the student leaders at reentry@berkeley.edu.

The Year 3 team is led by Mrs Howes and Miss Quick and is supported by Mrs Phillips, Mrs Brand, Mr Mullen, Mrs Fay and Mrs Pratt.
In Year 3, we aim to create exciting and memorable learning experiences which inspire and challenge the children. We cater to different learning styles and abilities and use cross-curricular links (linking subject areas including through our half termly topics).
Throughout the year, the children will have the chance to tackle a variety of fiction and non-fiction genres of writing including: persuasive writing, instructions, narrative, reports and poems. Our writing for each half term generally has a focus on the topic that we are studying. For instance, in the first half term, we will be looking at persuasive writing and instructions in relation to the Stone Age, using the book Stone Age Boy to inspire our writing. The children will also learn about grammar, punctuation and spelling as outlined in the National Primary Curriculum. This will then enable them to improve the quality of their writing further.
In our school, a high emphasis is put on reading and children are expected to read at home on a daily basis for at least 10 minutes and record evidence of this in their Home School book. Books will be read together in class, with clear and expressive reading modelled by the adults in the year group team. In addition to this, children will have the opportunity to read aloud (both in whole class and 1:1 to an adult) and show their understanding through responding to careful questioning. Children will also read independently and in small groups using books across a range of genres which are appropriate to their reading age and ability. There will also be opportunities to the children to read their writing to other children in the school.
Children will practise a set of weekly spellings which address common spelling patterns, commonly misspelled words and those dictated by the Years 2, 3 and 4 spelling list from the National Curriculum. Spellings will be handed out on a Monday and tested on the Friday. New spellings will be stuck into their personal spelling book. It is important that the children bring their spelling book to school with them each day (particularly on a Friday) and that they take time to practise their spellings at home each day.
All areas of Maths will be covered during the year: Number, Geometry, Measurement and Statistics. Within this, children will solve mathematical problems, reason mathematically and become fluent in mathematical concepts. They will learn to use written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well as develop mental strategies to solve problems.
Each day, the children will practise their targeted times tables (leading up to knowing all times tables up to 12 x 12) to improve their fluency and speed of recall. They will do this through times tables games and have a weekly times tables test. It is important that children also practise their times tables at home.
Within Science lessons, children will have the chance to learn about different topics through hands-on, practical lessons including experiments. They will develop their use of scientific reasoning and are taught to draw conclusions from what they have observed. They will learn about: light and shadow; rocks and soils; forces and magnets; healthy foods and plants.
History is taught through our Topic work which enables the children to gain a deeper understanding in the overall subject. This year, the children will discover more about Pre-History (Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age) and the Romans. During these topics, we will study the lives of people at these times including their beliefs, traditions and artefacts discovered. They will learn about the chronology of these eras and use timelines to help develop this further.
Again, Geography is taught through our Topic work. The children will learn about volcanoes and earthquakes as well as regions locally, nationally and in Europe. They will make comparisons between these locations, locate countries and describe their features.
As a Church of England school, we will look in depth at Christianity including the religion's values and the festivals they celebrate throughout the year. Learning will develop around questions posed to the children, leading to a child-centred enquiry approach. Children will also learn about faith during our Collective Worship which is held as either a whole Key Stage or school on a daily basis. We also make regular visits to the church and attend services to celebrate key events in the Christian calendar. We will also look at other religions during the course of the year.
Our Art and Design Technology work is again influenced by our termly Topic work. In the Autumn term we will start by working in the style of Stone Age people including using natural materials that they may have used. We will use different techniques and including charcoal, oil pastels and chalk. We encourage individuality within pieces of work whilst at the same time encouraging children to think carefully about the work of other artists and use them as inspiration.
Children have two lessons of P.E. a week – a Games and a Dance or Gymnastics lesson. During these lessons, they will learn key skills in different sports including the importance of sportsmanship and working as a team. They will also consider how to use their body to move and balance to create individual and group routines in Dance and Gymnastics. A full P.E. kit is are required for every lesson. This includes a light blue polo shirt, black shorts and trainers with optional black tracksuit, jogging bottoms or sweatshirt for the winter months. P.E. kits should be brought into school on the Monday and left at school until the end of the week. This allows for other opportunities for P.E. to take place during the week.
During the Autumn term, each class will have the opportunity to swim once a week at Archbishop Sancroft High School. When the children have swimming lessons, they need to ensure they have swimwear (a one piece costume for girls and trunks or lycra swim shorts for boys), hat and towel. The children may also bring goggles to wear.
This year, the children will begin learning French. They will do this through fun, engaging lessons which immerse the children in the language through games, role play and songs. As well as learning to speak words and phrases in the language and hold a simple conversation, they will also be taught how to read and write in the language and about the culture of countries that use it.
In line with the new National Curriculum, children will have computing lessons which will teach them about topics such as e-safety, digital media, presenting data and word processing. They will also learn about programming and coding using different software on our top of the range iPads and laptops.
We will be using the Charanga scheme of work to learn to about pitch, rhythm and melody. The children will rehearse and perform a selection of songs, using instruments to add to their performances.

The September 4, 1925 Nashville Herald reported the tragic death of Merle Elizabeth Langford.
Child Dies From Bite Of Rattle Snake
Little Muriel Langford, the 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Langford, who resides about a mile from Ray City on the Milltown-Ray City road died Tuesday morning from what was thought to be the bite of a rattle snake.
The child was playing in a potato patch, near the house, while her mother was working nearby, when she cried out and ran to her mother. The mother thinking the child had fallen down and hurt herself took her into her arms to console it when she noticed that blood was oozing from her leg just above the ankle. Thinking that possibly the child had been bitten by a snake or some reptile the mother started for the house but before reaching the house the child had become limp. The father, who was at the home of a brother nearby was notified and an effort to secure a physician in Ray City failing, Dr. Smith of Milltown was summoned and arrived within a short time after the child was bitten. Dr. Sloan of Stockton was passing and was also called in and both these physicians rendered all the aid that medical skill could give, but the child died within half an hour after their arrival.
The funeral services were held at Beaver Dam church and the internment took place in the church grave yard Wednesday, Rev A. W. Smith of Ray City and Hahira conducting the rites.

Rattlesnakes have always been a part of Wiregrass Georgia. The New Georgia Encyclopedia entry on Georgia folklore observes, "In its unburnt state, wiregrass became an integral part of the terrain and served as cover for wildlife, a place where quail might nest or predators like rattlesnakes might lurk." As early as 1763, European text were referring to the venomous rattlesnakes of Georgia. A Universal History, published that year in London over-optimistically reported, "Their woods abound with … snakes-; but none of them, except the rattle-snake, are venomous and, as in Louisiana, the natives have a ready and infallible cure for its bite." By 1804, treatments for rattlesnake bites were discussed in Georgia newspapers. In the Southern Botanical Journal of August 4, 1838 Thomas Fuller Hazzard of St. Simons Island discussed additional treatments for venomous reptile bites and cases where the victims survived. But he also noted, "many persons die annually from the bites of poisonous reptiles in Georgia and Carolina."
The New Georgia Encyclopedia goes on to discuss the Wiregrass ecosystem as a source for Georgia folklore and the rattlesnake motif in storytelling.
Rattlesnakes constitute another popular motif. A rationale for ritually burning the forest, unchecked rattlesnake populations represent a real threat to people. Personal experience narratives, as the prime prose narrative form of our times, frequently function as cautionary tales, warning about this potential threat. Several wiregrass Georgia towns (Claxton, Whigham) annually host rattlesnake roundups. These festivals shift public attention to the prevalence of this dangerous species, especially since local laws prohibit burning the woods without a special permit. Instead, communities sponsor roundups in which competitors literally capture hundreds of snakes. Every year, for example, as many as 20,000 people attend the parade and festival in Whigham (population 605). Claxton promotes its roundup as "the beauty with the beasts" competition: the judging of the snake competition occurs at the same time as the crowning of the Roundup Queen.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA only a handful of snakebite fatalities occur annually in the U.S. today.
Venomous snakes found in the United States include rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths/water moccasins, and coral snakes…. It has been estimated that 7,000–8,000 people per year receive venomous bites in the United States, and about 5 of those people die. The number of deaths would be much higher if people did not seek medical care….There are many species of rattlesnakes in the United States. Rattlesnakes are the largest of the venomous snakes in the United States. They can accurately strike at up to one-third their body length. Rattlesnakes use their rattles or tails as a warning when they feel threatened. Rattlesnakes may be found sunning themselves near logs, boulders, or open areas. These snakes may be found in most work habitats including the mountains, prairies, deserts, and beaches.

Take Lots Of Science And Math
If you want to get into top engineering schools, it's less important to be well rounded than to show that you have a solid foundation in math.
Showing that you're strong in science, too, is a nice bonus, particularly if your strength is in a field closely related to the type of engineering you're interested in .
Demonstrate your strengths to colleges by taking in advanced math and science classes. This means taking honors-level,AP, or IB courses and putting as much effort as you can into getting top grades in them, even if it means you end up with relatively lower grades in other subjects.

Is Abet Accreditation Important
As you look into engineering school accreditation, you may discover that many programs are ABET-accredited. The ABET accreditation requirements for engineering programs require programs to meet or exceed specific standards for education. It takes around 18 months for a school to earn accreditation if the program meets the standards.
Is ABET accreditation important? In general, it is an important part of evaluating a program. When students are asking does ABET accreditation matter, it really means that they are worried about how the different accreditation options differ in the view of employers. An ABET accredited online degree or an on-campus degree program matters to employers because it shows that the school or university meets or exceeds a specific set of standards. It helps students get their foot in the door when looking into career options because it tells the employer that the students school is able to provide effective education in engineering.

Did Vincent van Gogh advise how to frame his paintings?
Van Gogh realized the importance of a frame to bring out the best of his paintings. For his 'Cypresses with two figures' he wrote in detail to art critic Albert Aurier which kind of frame would probably work:
"I have noticed that a very simple flat frame, bright orange lead, creates the desired effect with the blues of the background and the dark greens of the trees. Without this there would perhaps not be enough red in the canvas, and the upper part would appear a little cold."
Today 132 years ago, on 3 May 1890,
Theo van Gogh wrote to Vincent from Paris:
"The Aurier canvas is one of the finest you've yet done, it has the richness of a peacock's tail. I'll take it to him directly, I'd had the frame made that you described, for I certainly owe him that, and he isn't rich."

This characteristic sporting portrait was commissioned by a committee of fellow-sportsmen for presentation to John Burgess (?1791-1842), a gentleman farmer of Clipston-on-the-Wolds, just outside Nottingham, which lay on the fringe of the Quorn country. Although Burgess hunted with the Quorn hounds, he is shown here with his own pack of harriers, dogs which were specially bred for hunting the hare.
Ferneley was born in Leicestershire, the centre of fashionable hunting country, and was himself a keen rider to hounds. Based in Melton Mowbray from 1814 until his death, Ferneley's work was much in demand from the wealthy sportsmen of the region.
This picture is recorded in the artist's Account Books as 'Portrait of John Burgess Esq., on a Favourite Horse, with his Harriers, etc.', commissioned in 1838 by 'The Gentlemen of the Committ[ee] Presenting J. Burgess, Esq., with a Portrait of Himself'.
John Burgess (? 1791–1842) was a gentleman farmer of Clipston-on-the Wolds, a hamlet about six miles south east of Nottingham, where he was a tenant of Earl Manvers. Clipston-on-the Wolds is on the fringe of the Quorn country. John Burgess hunted with the Quorn, but here he is portrayed with his own pack of harriers, to which he acted as huntsman as well as Master. The 'Gentlemen of the Committee' who commissioned this portrait presumably hunted with John Burgess, who had himself earlier (in 1823) commissioned Ferneley to paint a 'Portrait of his Son on Horseback' (Paget, p.131, no.151). In T03423 the setting is probably the Wolds and the Vale of Belvoir.
There is a brief mention of 'Mr. Burgess of Clipstone, Notts., who hunted his own harriers when he was not out with the Quorn', presiding at a dinner given to Mr. Rowland Errington on undertaking the Mastership of the Quorn in 1835 (W.C.A. Blew, The Quorn Hunt, 1899, p.163). 'John Burgess Esq. of Clipstone' is recorded in the burial register of Holme Pierrepoint (a village near Clipston) as having been buried on 30 April 1842, aged 51 (information kindly communicated by Adrian Henstock, Principal Archivist, Nottinghamshire Record Office).

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A paranoid dictator's estranged brother. Two young female assassins. A crowded international airport. And a mysterious poison that kills within hours.
It's the perfect recipe for a thrilling cloak-and-dagger spy novel. Except some — or possibly even all — of this tale could be true in the apparent assassination of Kim Jong Nam, the older half-brother of reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. And just like similar intriguing cases from the past, the public is hanging on to every detail because there's just something about murder by poison that captivates.
Still, speculation Kim Jong Nam was killed by two young female "agents" at the busy Kuala Lumpur airport last week left even the most seasoned toxicology sleuths shaking their heads. Add in the portly sibling was apparently sprayed in the face with a substance so potent it killed him before he could reach the hospital, and you've got a scene straight out of a James Bond movie.
Four people, including the two women — one Indonesian and the other travelling on a Vietnamese passport — have been detained. Conspiracy theories and speculation abound as police scramble to unravel what really happened to Kim Jong Nam, aged 45 or 46, the son of late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and a mistress. After falling out of favour with the family, the son lived for years in exile and was about to catch a flight to Macau when the attack took place. He sought help at the airport clinic after suddenly falling ill and died en route to the hospital. An autopsy has been performed, but the results have not been released.
If a chemical agent really was to blame, finding it may be the hardest part of all.
"The more unusual, the more potent, the more volatile a poison is, the less likely it is to be detected," said Olif Drummer, a toxicologist at Australia's Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine who has spent 40 years in the field.
Experts routinely tasked with finding answers in poisoning cases say the events at Kuala Lumpur's budget airline terminal are bizarre, but not impossible. They wonder: What substance could have been used to kill the victim so quickly without sickening the women who apparently deployed it, along with anyone else nearby? Difficult, they say, but doable.
"It's not an agent that could be cooked up in a hotel room. It's going to take a lot of knowledge regarding the chemical in order to facilitate an attack like this," said Bruce Goldberger, a leading toxicologist who heads the forensic medicine division at the University of Florida. He said a nerve gas or ricin, a deadly substance found in castor beans, could be possible. A strong opioid compound could also have been used, though that would likely have incapacitated the victim immediately.
"It would have to be cleverly designed in order to be applied in this fashion without hurting anyone else," Goldberger said.
History is filled with poisoners. From jilted lovers seeking revenge to greedy spouses looking to collect on life insurance policies. Arsenic, cyanide and strychnine are often the toxins of choice used in murders, but political hits are usually a much more complicated business.
Take the Cold War case of Bulgarian defector and journalist Georgi Markov. He was jabbed in the leg with an umbrella in 1978 at a bus stop in London. He died three days later, and a pellet of highly toxic ricin was found under his skin — shot there by a gun concealed inside the umbrella. No one was ever arrested, but Bulgarian secret police were suspected with help from the Soviet KGB.
The Kremlin has been implicated in a number of high-profile cases including Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy who fled to the United Kingdom and was lethally poisoned by radioactive polonium-210 in 2006. In a report published last year, a British judge wrote that Russian President Vladimir Putin probably approved the assassination carried out by the country's security service.
And just this month, another loud Putin critic, Vladimir Kara-Murza, fell into a coma and was diagnosed with "acute intoxication by an unidentified substance." The Russian nearly died from a similar unexplained poisoning two years ago.
Though the dramatic cases linked to espionage tend to make headlines, many other killings are overlooked entirely.
While murder using toxins is far less common than stabbings and shootings, he said his research shows that poisoners often strike more than once.
