Lotteries are among the oldest forms of gambling in the world. Originally, they raised money for public projects and institutions, such as roads, colleges, bridges, and libraries. They also collected funds for the poor. In some cases, they were tolerated, and in others they were banned for a variety of reasons. Today, lottery games are widespread throughout the United States. However, a few states have outlawed them.
Many of the lotteries have become popular, as they offer players the opportunity to win a big prize. Some have record jackpots, such as Powerball. These games are played with a $2 ticket and require that the player match five numbers from a pool of 70. In addition to a winning jackpot, the player also has the chance of winning a smaller prize.
Mega Millions, The Lotto, and Powerball are the most commonly played lottery games in the U.S. These jackpots range from one million dollars to several hundred million dollars. They are a form of "progressive lotteries," in which the amount increases after each draw. A person who wins a large jackpot may get a lump sum payment, or annuity payments. On the other hand, a player who wins a small jackpot will get a one-time payment. This can be a better way to play since the odds are lower, allowing for a larger payout.
Lotteries can be found in any store in the U.S., and some have become so popular that they have their own state lotteries. The most popular lottery in the country is Powerball, which has a starting jackpot of $20 million. Another popular lottery is the Mega Millions, which requires a $2 ticket and requires the player to match five numbers from a pool of 70.
Most US states have authorized online lottery sites. These sites connect players with lottery agents in their state. When the player is awarded a prize, the site will send the winner a W2-G form for federal income taxes. If the prize is below $600, the site will withhold the federal tax from the prize.
Lotteries are also widely available in mobile apps. These games can be played on a smartphone or tablet, and are often user-friendly. They allow for quick selection of the system and numbers, and are designed to be played on the go. Some of the more recent lotteries offer a random option, in which the player can select a series of randomly generated numbers.
Lotteries can be a fun and exciting game, but the cost of purchasing a lottery ticket can be more than you expected. To maximize your overall utility, you should avoid buying a lottery ticket unless you have no other alternatives. Using expected utility maximization models, you can determine whether the overall utility of purchasing a lottery ticket is worth the expense.
In the past, lottery tickets were sold by brokers. The brokers then hired runners to sell tickets. Eventually, the government sold the right to sell lottery tickets to the brokers. This allowed the lottery to be widely distributed, but some people suspected it was a type of hidden tax.

Eco-friendly messenger and overnight bags
The ultimate eco-ethical accessories, these fabulous bags produced by Craftworks Cambodia give used cement sacks a second life – and create employment opportunities for workers with disabilities in Cambodia who craft them by hand in their homes.
Cambodia and Cambodians have suffered for decades as a result of war. It is still recovering from the atrocities of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime of the 1970's. About a third of Cambodia's population lives below the national poverty level. The sale of these goods made by Cambodian workers will help keep families together with food on the table. It's especially important for women. The opportunity to earn a living will allow them to raise healthy babies and children. I believe people will buy these items when they see them. Many Cambodian crafts items are both beautiful and clever. Silk is the most common material it is spun and woven in the villages, and made into scarves, shawls, purses and other accessories. Also popular are the eco-friendly items made of discarded rice bags. Recycled rice sacks are made into wallets and bags. Further information about us, please visit www.craftworkscambodia.com

How to Declutter Your Home and Save the Planet
Your home is your sacred space where you go to relax and unwind, but it becomes harder and harder to do so when the clutter seems to be taking control. Rather than pile everything into a garbage bag, wouldn't it be nice if you could get a handle on the chaos, all while helping the planet? There are several eco-friendly ways to clear the clutter out of your home, giving you not only a clean home but a sense of pride that you did your part.
Photo albums are a great way to preserve all your memories, but they take up a lot of space. Plus, chances are you have an overflowing shoebox or two filled with photos that you keep saying you'll get around to. Well, the year is 2018, and it's time to embrace the digital world. Scan your photos via one of the many apps available, or use a scanning service. Not only will your photos be protected from damage, but it makes them easier to share with family and friends. While you are in scanning mode, go ahead and scan important documents that are taking up space in drawers and on countertops and refrigerators.
Don't Stockpile Mattresses
Mattresses are one of those items that are often stashed away in the basement, attic, or garage just to avoid the hassle of trying to haul them outside. However, they take up a lot of space, and there's no need to keep a mattress that has outlived its use. Before you take it to the landfill or chunk it in a dumpster, consider other planet-friendly options. Haul it to a recycling center, or hire a hauling company to take it. Before you bid farewell, upcycle it by removing the parts you can use for cool DIY home décor such as a wine holder, vase, vertical planter, or memo board.
Put an End to the Junk Mail
According to statistics collected by the University of Southern Indiana, "The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail." While junk mail is one of those things you have grown accustomed to seeing in your mailbox, did you know you could opt out? Rather than piling up catalog after catalog and having a drawer full of unopened junk mail, use online tools such as DMAchoice.org or OptOutPrescreen.com to unsubscribe from catalogs, advertisements, and those pesky credit card offers. You can also switch your bills to electronic delivery only, especially if you pay them online anyway.
Dispose of Electronics and Appliances Properly
Once you really get in the decluttering zone, you'll likely come across a ton of old electronics and appliances that are unused, broken, or just out of date. Perhaps you even have duplicates. No matter what the reason is for getting rid of it, most are made up of recyclable parts and may also contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment if left to break down at the landfill. Dispose of them the eco-friendly way by donating them to nonprofits, schools, or churches if they are still in good condition. Some home and electronics stores such as Best Buy and Home Depot have drop-off bins for items you wish to recycle, but you can also contact your local recycling center for information on the nearest drop-off spot.
Give Your Clean Routine a Makeover Too
Once the clutter is clear, you'll be able give your home a green clean using eco-friendly products that you find in your home. Baking soda, vinegar, and lemon are products that don't contain harsh chemicals, making them safe for use in your home and the environment. Plus, they can be used in all areas of your cleaning routine, including the kitchen and bathroom. If you do have to purchase cleaning products, be sure to shop around for eco-friendly options first.
Decluttering your home is a big task, but a necessary one. Go the extra mile and use eco-friendly methods to get your home organized. The planet and your home thank you.

Transformed Bomb Casings Into Beautiful Jewelry!!!
Mr.Chenla Chan lives in Cambodia on the outskirts of Phnom Penh City with his wife and two daughters. He is an inspirational man.
Mr.Chenla Chan was born in 1980 in a refugee camp. The eldest son with 6 brothers and sisters his parents escaped to the refugee camps in Thailand in early 1980 just after the notorious Khmer Rouge era / Pol Pot regime. He and his family lived in the refugee camp for 14 years.
His life then was very difficult he did not have enough income for food and the only way he could earn any money was by waking up before dawn to pick up leftover rice, bottles, cans and other rubbish in the dust bins to sell to a Thai business man. He went to study Cambodian language from 7.30am till 10:30am every morning and after his studies he went back to pick through the garbage to find scraps and things that could be recycled. He was also needed to help his mother with the work at home such as taking care of his younger sisters and brothers while his mother was busy to cook for her children. It was while he was staying in Phanat Nikhom refugee camp in 1989, he met Keang the founder of Craftworks Cambodia (CC).
Mr.Chenla Chan returned to Cambodia with his family in 1994. They were homeless, landless. and facing severe difficulties. There was not enough food, no income, no employment, and no shelter to stay in when they arrived in Cambodia. They asked permission from relatives to allow them some land to live on; finally, his uncle gave them some land and they built a temporary tent to live in. Mr.Chenla Chan was now old enough to be a motor taxi driver in the village and he helped support his family. He took a chance to carry on his study for two more years until 1996. He finished only grade 7. After that he decided to go to Phnom Penh city to find a job there, he was introduced to Mr.Seng and learned to make jewelry, he also learnt English part time for two years. Using the jewelery making skills he learned from Mr. Seng he now makes jewelry from recycled brass bomb shells for Craftworks Cambodia. He has now been making jewelery for over 10 years is a very experienced and skilled jeweler.
In 2001 he married Ms.Kuoch Reaksmey Wong, (age 30) at the River of Life church. His wife was also born in a refugee camp near the Cambodian Thai border. But they were born in different camps. They now have two daughters. His eldest daughter Sorya Chenla, age 9 and Konika Chenla, age 7 both go to school every day. They also study Cambodian language and English part time.
Mr. Chenla Chan worked for River of Life church from 1997 till 2013. He worked in many different roles including worship leader, playing the drum and helping to teach orphans. He decided to resign from his position at church because he wanted to spend more time with his family and wanted to work full time making jewelry as Craftworks Cambodia gave a lot of orders to him. The extra income helped his family; it helped his daughters to go to school and helped the kids in need in the rural communities.
Mr.Chenla Chan is delighted to have a decent job. He now has a lot of time to spend with his two kids and his wife. He also has time to take his kids to go to school every day, he can take his wife to markets daily as well. He is more freedom and independent to work as a home based artisan. When he wants to enjoy the special events such as wedding party, birthday or any celebrations, he can attend them freely and joyfully. No need to ask permission from the boss for a leave.
He is still facing difficulties, he works from a tiny space in his from home and his working place is too small. He sleeps eats and runs his church from the same room. He has some space behind his house for a mini-workshop in the future but he is unable to afford to expand or build this workshop yet.
If Craftworks Cambodia provides more orders to him and his producers group he is planning to build this workshop in the near future and buy some new jewelry equipment.
On 1 June 2014 he founded a new church. Without any donors/ funding from overseas or other churches, they have been able to organize and manage the church with 35 children by themselves Most of the kids come from very poor communities, they are malnourished, lack love and care from others Most of the kids' parents go to work in the garment factories, and the children are left all day without care. He and his wife decided to buy some slippers, notebooks, pencils & pens etc… and also bought some snacks, water, drinks, and sometimes food for them on Sundays. Some poor families need some help with getting enough food occasionally, and we have to support them as we can.
His wife, Reaksmey works for the church on Sundays, she teaches, sing a song, and tell the stories about God. She also helps to care for some of the children who need extra care. She cuts their nails, washes their hair, bathes kids and sometimes cook food for them. All the kids are so happy and enjoy with us so much!!!
With the support of groups such as Craftworks Cambodia, many artisans like Mr.Chenla Chan are hoping that the sales of the recycled brass bomb shell jewelry and more will generate an income that will provide their families and their communities the chance at a better future. This project (Craftworks Cambodia) ensures that the artisans are fairly rewarded for their work and helps to provide support for education and training in the communities in Cambodia.
From Weapon to Peace
Towards Fair Trade.
Recycled brass bomb shell & horn charm bracelet and jewelry, ethically handcrafted by disadvantaged home based workers in the small community in Cambodia.
Here is a very brief history; after the Vietnam War spread to Cambodia, the communist Khmer Rouge regime took power on 17 April 1975. What followed was years of devastation, mass killings, torture and fear. From 1975 to 1979, led by the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot, there was a reign of terror in this small country. In 4 years, nearly 2 million Cambodians were murdered. Under the government that followed a full pardon was given to all members of the Khmer Rouge for the genocide and atrocities they had committed, this was a slap in the face to the surviving Cambodian People. In 1993, a mere 20 years ago, peace came to Cambodia. Since then, the country has struggled to find growth and prosperity while surrounded by the remnants of war. The endless list of challenges they still face include land mines, extreme poverty, lack of infrastructure, lack of jobs and a population left deeply wounded both physically and psychologically.
Recycled Brass Bomb Shell Hammered Ring & Natural Stone Rings
· Crafting History towards a Positive Future
Cambodians are renowned for their generous, humble and kind nature. For those who have been there this reputation rings true throughout the whole country. Hand in hand with this there is an ever-present undertone of grief known only to a country that has seen horror and experienced great loss. It was in the 1970's that the savage Pol Pot regime brought civil war to Cambodia and still renders its mark with 30% of people living below the poverty line. However, this tragic history does not impede on the spirit of the Cambodian people and it is amazing to see a country building and developing for a positive future.
Now on the tourist trail, economic growth is evident and Cambodia is seeing a turnaround. Cambodians themselves are determined to work towards a more profitable country. Companies such as Craftworks Cambodia are dedicated to this cause by providing fair trade work to disadvantaged Cambodians for their arts, crafts and trades. CC is a company which works towards Cambodia's growth and development by supporting individual families. Artist Chantha Thoeun and his wife Thearny Kol are a couple employed by the company and they work as jewelers creating beautiful and unique pieces. Chantha talks of his work with CC "I have more freedom and independence. I also have more time to take care of my daughter and son." With incomes going to support families with babies and children as well as providing Jobs to other workers in the communities in Cambodia, CC's efforts to build and work towards a strong future are unmistakable.
The types of goods that are created by CC's artisans are distinctive and beautiful, touched with history. Postwar debris such as bomb casings and bullet shells are handcrafted into stunning, stylish pieces. It seems fitting to draw a parallel with the transformation of the pieces to that of Cambodia's past as it moves towards a positive future.
One example of this transformation is with the Natural Stone Rings and hammered rings, which begin as found bomb casings and result in high quality, beautiful rings. The rings are bold and distinctive, yet the fine detailing of 'CAMBODIA' intricately branded into the inner brass gives the rings femininity. The brass material highlights the natural stone that is the focal point of the piece. The stone has standout style with a flawless finish and comes in a choice of polished black or semi-polished white.
CC also works with materials such as recycled paper and hand-woven silk to produce unique and inspired products, garments and jewelry. The Recycled Tubing Purses as the name denotes are made from recycled tubing creating an edgy and reworked design on a classic purse. The purses are eco friendly and ethically made by home based workers who are living with HIV/AIDS in the community. Every purse is handmade so each one possesses little unique qualities, making it your own.

Gov. Pawlenty's office announced this afternoon that it's received an extension of a waiver to allow MinnesotaCare to cover 18,000 parents to remain eligible for the state subsidized health care plan. The feds had previously decided against renewing the waiver, which would've cost thousands of people their health care coverage.
‹ Older Where are the missing Senate votes?
AMEN!!! So many studies show that parents with healthcare coverage make sure their children have regular visits are much more likely to do so. Parents without appropriate care are not only more vulnerable to disease, but also set a poor example to their children. Minnesota has been a leader in this area and it was starting to feel like we were going to be punished for having better access to healthcare than most states in the USA, by removing that edge.
I am extremely relieved that we have been given a reprieve.

Shop dbx 231S Dual Channel 31 Band 1/3 Octave Graphic Equalizer from AMS with 0% Interest Payment Plans and Free Shipping.
The DBX 231S Dual 31-Band Graphic Equalizer meets the needs of the most demanding sound reinforcement environments, while offering the simplicity of straightforward controls. When the pros need an EQ, they turn to DBX.
The DBX 231S Equalizer includes two 31-band channels of 1/3-octave equalization, ±12 dB input gain, switchable ±6 dB or ±12 dB boost/cut range, 20mm nonconductive sliders, an intuitive user interface, and output level metering. From its extended 10Hz to 50kHz frequency response and 112 dB dynamic range to the quality componentry and meticulous attention to detail, the 231S graphic equalizer offers exceptional sound and rugged reliability that guarantees you will always sound your best.
I am pleased yet confused at my comfort zone I feel happy with how it sounds after adjusting it when I play it???????? with my Mixer & music/speakers!!!!!
The product is fine. It does exactly what I purchased it for, hence me purchasing a dbx unit. I was, however, very disappointed that it said "$50 Rebate" on the product information page with AMS, and I received nothing with the product regarding a rebate, so I returned to the product information page and clicked for more details about the rebate, only to discover that for said rebate, the product had to have been purchased prior to 03/31/2014...yet the offer for a $50 rebate was still listed as of 05/19/2014 when I purchased TWO of these units...and was excited that I would be getting $100 back by purchasing through AMS. I wouldn't be as concerned...but I considering I ordered well over $3000.00 worth of gear...getting $100.00 back was a nice perk. Needless to say, I'm quite disappointed with AMS for false advertising.
For the cost of the unit, you really can't expect much more. I've only used the 2 units that I purchased for a few shows thusfar, but would anticipate a long life.
This is a pretty easy to use product in general if you have a relative amount of knowledge about sound reinforcement. I purchased two of these units to use for feedback control on 4 monitor sends...and they are doing a sufficient job for the intended purpose.
The filters seem, at least based upon how it sounds "by ear" as opposed to a spectrum analyzer, to be accurate. I'm using these to EQ 4 monitor sends, and have been able to find and cut out any feedback prone frequencies at a few live shows since I purchased them and really have no complaints...other than the false advertising regarding the $50 Rebate.


At the helm of a quite large body of student musicians of the Australian National Academy of Music, Howard Penny directed a fairly dense program of bon-bons from the Baroque in its most expansive sense, stretching from the start of the seventeenth century until deep into the eighteenth century. This was a long program and, while some more substantial works were included — things such as one of the sonatas from Muffat's Armonico tributoor one of the Handel concerti a due corior one of the C.P.E. Bach symphonies — the fact they are all made up of smaller segments really meant one only rarely heard longer paragraphs of music. To Penny's credit, very little of the programme comprised bog-standard Baroque music, with maybe only the sinfonia from the second part of Bach's Christmas oratorio and a selection of pieces from the second Water music suite by Handel fitting that bill. Occasionally well-known composers were represented by lesser-known works, including Handel's concerto a due coriand the overture to Jephtha, but much more frequently we were exposed to less well-known composers and even lesser-known works. The strike rate with these works was mixed: Praetorius' Terpischoredances were, as always, unfailingly delightful; Zelenka's Hypochondrieand overture to I penitenti al sepolchro del Redentorewere certainly interesting, even if I did not share Penny's seemingly uncritical enthusiasm for them; but the Vejvanosky sonata was a pretty weak example of the kind of Venice-influence multi-partite sonata better represented by Bertali or Schmelzer (the latter represented on the program by the balletto Di zingari).
I felt that the later the music was, the more attuned to the music the musicians seemed to be. Handel offered the securest ground, with muscular definition and incisive rhythm in the dramatic overture to Jephtha, control of the masses of sound in the concerto a due coriand elegance in the second Water musicsuite. Also fine was the sinfonia from the second Christmas oratoriocantata, with its braying quarter of double reeds. Zelenka's Hypocondrie, with its sudden alternations of mood and juxtaposition of major and minor thirds, just hung together better than the frankly weird overture to I penitenti(maybe this overture makes more sense when not detached from its parent work?), but both were given strong, characterful and dramatic readings. The strongest of all among the eighteenth-century works was C.P.E. Bach's symphony in F major, in which the musicians navigated the composer's customary veering between the lyrical and the aphoristic with apparent ease.
The seventeenth-century works seemed less in the musicians' home territory. The comparatively uninteresting Vejvanosky sonata and the Praetorius dances offered reasonably little for the musicians to sink their teeth into, but the Muffat sonata is core seventeenth-century expression. The tension between the two styles Muffat explores in this work should have offered rich pickings for the musicians, but their performance lacked tension in the suspension-rich slow movements, derived from Corelli, and drive in the faster movements, derived from the ballet music tradition typical of a composer like Lully.
I think I'm right in saying that performances of Baroque music on modern instruments are now surprisingly uncommon: at least they are in my experience. This concert, with multiple players per part on modern instruments, was certainly an exercise in expectation adjustment and, while I am prepared to concede that perhaps not much is lost in the translation to modern instruments and scale of forces in works such as the overture to Jephthaor Bach's symphony, the Praetorius dances seemed much closer to Respighi in the scoring they were accorded and a work like the Muffat doeslose something when turned into a modern 'orchestral' work. The playing in this concert was always precise and disciplined and the engagement with the music almost unflaggingly sincere and well thought out. But the best results really came when the native scale of the music was better respected — in the Schmelzer ballettoin particular, reduced to a handful of players and in which individual contributions, the playing with and of polyphonic lines, and the sheer joy of the piece, could be heard in appropriate clarity.


One of the best parts of Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood is its location — just north of downtown, with easy access to some of the area's best dining, shopping, entertainment and cultural destinations. Between local bus and train lines, highways and the city's grid system, the Gold Coast offers plenty of options for getting around Chicagoland. It's also so close to downtown that you can minimize the pain of long commutes or heavy traffic. In other words, when you make your home in one of the luxury apartment rentals currently available in Chicago's Gold Coast, you're in the heart of everything the city has to offer.
Whether you have a car or choose to grab one of the city's abundant taxis to get around, Chicago's four major expressways can guide you in and around the city. At the same time, because the Gold Coast is just north of downtown, you may be able to skip a bad commute with easy access into the city. A cab ride downtown takes only five minutes and will typically cost you less than $10. Plus, because the city is organized on a grid system, it's easy to navigate: the State/Madison intersection is the central point — with all addresses considered north, south, east or west of it, and every eight blocks are a mile.
Even without a car, you can travel throughout the city and its suburbs with public transportation. Take the Red or Brown Line to and from your Gold Coast apartment. Or, hop on a nearby bus to take you wherever you want to go.
When the weather's nice and you feel like walking, the Gold Coast isn't far from entertainment options as well as conveniences. Make the most of the neighborhood's walkability and enjoy time outside. What's more, the area has bike lanes and bike-rack parking available, so you can cycle to work or for exercise/recreation.
Are you thinking of moving to the Gold Coast and enjoying its great convenience to the city's amenities?

Chris Biscuits was ruminating on his blog whether his future-me would be a prat and it reminded me that future-me is my favourite Friday Night thought experiment. We ask: what are we going to be up to in 2040? And then we keep drinking beer until we get a satisfactory answer.
One of my friends periodically sends this around to remind us where we'll be in a couple of decades.
That's me, rockin' the peach jumpsuit. I hope. I don't want to be the other lady in the tights. And I definitely don't want to be that dude.
Strangely, we are in America. Which either means that you have universal health care by then (because I don't plan on being in good shape at all) or you've taken us over. Or we take you over and keep your flag because it's jazzier than ours. Or we're on an inspiring holiday. Whatever it is, I look forward to meeting that gentleman in the snazzy top.
I even made a pinterest page to illustrate future-me, but as with most pinterest projects it is only half done and does not accurately reflect what I wanted it to. So I am going to hash it out here for you all.
Exhausted from my years of tireless land conservation activism, single-handedly reversing anthropogenic climate change, and selling jam at farmer's markets, future me is retired and living the good life.
Look at all that frigging canning. My family never ate any of it; I should have started on the market thing already.
I wear a lot of hats in by then. If history is any lesson, it's because I steal them from the mother of the groom at weddings, but hopefully in the future I am sensible enough to purchase them for myself.
I am quite fond of hammocks, but I currently live in a climate where it would be suicide to use one for about 8 months of the year. The other four months it is just extremely uncomfortable. So I want to purchase this hammock, but more importantly I want to purchase the front porch it hangs on. With cabana boys.
In the future, this cake will be presented to me on my birthday every year. By the cabana boys.
Current me co-owns bees, but future me owns a whole menagerie on a biodynamic farm. No, scratch that, my biodynamic winery. On my private island. Future me really knows how to live.
And I will still get around everywhere on my Pashley, because it is the bestest bike that ever was made in the history of bikes and I will be buried with it.
I expect both me and the pashley to be a lot more banged up by then.
Future me is also pretty unapologetic about dancing in the front row at jazz festivals, has a morning writing ritual, and does yoga every day. I am pretty goddamn awesome in the future.
I should add that current me is an unemployed house wife with a basement full of expired canning. But I feel hopeful. What does your future-me look like?


The Upper Primary phase of learning consolidates and builds upon the Lower Primary years. Students participate in engaging lessons that expand their interests and maintain their learning momentum. As they become increasingly independent as learners, they also interact more with their knowledge, test their ideas, encounter different points of view, and think in more abstract ways.
We not only guide our Upper Primary students to think more critically about their world, we also help them find ways of making meaningful contributions through a variety of community-focused activities. In Year 6, leadership becomes a highlight. This, along with our spiritual emphasis, service orientation and explicit teaching of the Spirit of IAS manifests in strong emotional intelligence, giving students tools to navigate adolescence and become young people of character.
After Year 6, many of our students go to secondary school at Brisbane Adventist College (BAC), located in Wishart (bus service provided). BAC shares our Christian ethos as well as our teaching and learning strategies. In order to make this high school transition as easy as possible, students are introduced to BAC in their final year at IAS, touring the grounds and classrooms and sharing activities with the teachers and other Year 6 students who will potentially become their classmates.
Small class sizes allows us to cultivate a depth of learning, social interaction and level of participation that is not always possible in larger schools. The classroom is learner-centred, with a strong emphasis on individualised planning, small group instruction and opportunities for peer collaboration.
The curriculum is supported by Phonics Workshops, Accelerated Reading and Mathletics, all of which provide very good results and allow us to differentiate the learning for children at different learning stages. Children with learning difficulties are supported by the learning support teacher and classroom teacher. Always finding better ways to meet the needs of our multi-cultural population has given our teachers expertise in helping children with low literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL) backgrounds.
At IAS, acceptance, kindness and community are highly valued. Bullying is not tolerated and behaviour management is based on Restorative Practices designed to repair relationships that may have been damaged. Our goal is to bring about a sense of remorse and positive action on the part of the instigator and forgiveness on the part of the victim.
Under the guidance of their teachers, Upper Primary students discover how to learn, communicate and problem solve in 21st century ways. Interactive whiteboards and mobile computer labs are used where appropriate to complement the curriculum. Students have weekly access to our learning resource centre (library), which is well-stocked with digital tools as well as story books and non-fiction books to enhance learning.
The Upper Primary curriculum is in keeping with the Australian Curriculum. This phase of learning focuses on building competencies in literacy and numeracy, and helping to develop learners that are inquiring, good communicators, knowledgeable, reflective and critical thinkers.
The Arts: Visual Art, Drama, Music and Media Arts.

Important Things to Know About Higher National Diploma (HND)
Chioma Oparah
This article contains information about the important Things You Need To Know About Higher National Diploma (HND)
HND is an abbreviation for Higher National Diploma which is a level 5 qualification. It differs from a Bachelor's Degree as it is a more practicable course. In other words, it places much emphasis on coursework as well as applying the content studied into practice unlike a BSC which is more theoretical with high emphasis on piles of exams at the end of the academic year.
Oftentimes, many students look down on this program because there is a misconception that individuals with this qualification are not well recognized and highly paid in organizations but the fact still remains that it's a good place to start off higher education because it is practically inclined.
An HND is equivalent to the second year of a Bachelor's degree. It therefore takes two years of full-time study to be completed and three to four years on a part time basis. HND is designed to equip you with relevant skills in your chosen career. Thus, those desirous to enter practical industries such as Health, Engineering or even Agriculture may benefit more by starting out with this degree.
HND is basically a vocational qualification that is acquired in a moderately short period of time. It is more skill focused and practice-based.
In recent times, employers look out for candidates with practical skills rather than the theoretically inclined as it is peculiar to B.Sc. degrees.

WHO IS QUALIFIED FOR AN HND?
The interesting thing is that HND is not meant for a specific set of people neither is there an age limit.
Anyone can apply depending on entry requirements which may slightly vary from one Institution to another. HND provides a beautiful opportunity for individuals who prefer what is known as "Learning and doing", that, the system of learning that is most effective through practicals. Again, depending on your career part, HND offers a direct route into that industry.
With this in mind, anybody under the following category is qualified for HND:
Already employed individuals who are desirous to improve their career prospects
Individuals who are business minded and wish to start up.
Mature students returning to education.
COURSES IN HND
Unlike in Bachelor's degree with a handful of courses, courses in Higher National Diplomas are vocational courses that can be studied in a wide range of subjects. HND courses include the following:
Business Accounting and Finance
Each of these courses has been developed with the assistance and guidance of teachers, industry experts, and employers who are working as a team to ensure the course content covers particular industry demands. Thus shows that National Diploma qualification prepares students for the professional implementation of the practical skills they have studied.
DURATION FOR ACQUIRING THE QUALIFICATION
The duration of completion is dependent on the individual in question. HND courses generally are completed in two years on a full time basis and 3-4 years on a part time basis. So, if you have other engagements, you can opt to enroll for a part time. This means that you will still have time for other things.
REQUIREMENTS FOR HIGHER NATIONAL DIPLOMA
Like other higher education programs, HND also has entry requirements that must be met by the applicant. It includes any of the following:
GCSE passes with grades A to C which must include English Language, and either a minimum of one A Level with grades A to E, a BTEC Level 3 Certificate or a Diploma.
Two or more years of work experience at any Administrative role relevant to the programme being applied for. This must be made proved through a personal statement, work experience for, supported by employment references showing the duration of employment and position held.
WHAT TO DO WITH HND
A lot of people are worried regarding what they can do with HND in a society where more emphasis and attention is given to individuals with qualifications higher than an HND. As a person with this qualification or intending to get one, be rest assured that having an HND certification isn't irrelevant as implied by many.
Having an HND presents one with beautiful opportunities. Upon successful completion, there are many options available to you. They include
Continuing higher education through a degree or a professional qualification
Going into full-time work.
Upgrading To a Full-fledged Degree
Once you have completed your HND qualification, you may wish to continue with your studies as part of career advancement plans. Many students who do not have the patients to spend 4years straight for a degree program usually opt for this. All that is required is an additional year because HND is equivalent to year two in a University. This implies that you will be admitted straight to 200 level of your degree course. At the end of the course, you will gain a Bachelor's Degree with Honours.
Nowadays, it has become a popular choice among HND graduates to top-up their HND into a degree. This recent trend has also left a lot of individuals who intend to further with numerous questions.
The most common question usually comes from those who do not know if it's possible to enroll for a degree in a different subject from that of the HND.
So, to answer that question, going for a course quite different from that of the HAND is almost impossible. In fact, it's a "NO". It is impossible for a person who took an Agricultural business related course in Bachelor's degree if the intention is to top up to B.Sc. using HND.
This is because at each stage of a Bachelor's degree, you'll be exposed to crucial knowledge that will prepare you to learn more advanced concepts in subsequent years. Therefore, in order to cope and qualify for a top up, the University usually ensures you're continuing with the same line of course as that of the HND. There is room for flexibility if the University is convinced beyond reasonable doubts.
Except that, going for a completely different course will mean starting your Bachelor's degree from the beginning.
FULL TIME WORK
Many times, it is not everyone who is capable or desirous to continue with higher studies.
Therefore, if you don't want to continue to higher education after completion of your HND, there is nothing to worry about. HND itself is a notable qualification that can provide employment opportunities which will certainly increase your earning potential especially in the future.
You can directly choose to get into your preferred career depending on the requirements and demands of the potential employers.
The astonishing fact is that having an HND qualification has the ability of making an applicant with such qualification to stand out during interviews as you can tell more about your practical skills and experience. You can never go wrong doing this as employers value real-world experience.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF HAVING AN HND
In your decision making, chances are you may consider the advantages and disadvantages of having an HND as opposed to a BSc. While I don't want to make it look as though this is irrelevant, I must have to accept that in the real sense, having an HND has both the good and limiting sides.
With this, some of the advantages and possible disadvantages are outlined below.
Advantages of Studying A HND:
Since HND offers a direct entry into your career, the said qualification enables you to acquire a reasonable amount of valuable skills, expertise and understanding which is required for your career path.
With HND, you will be able to advance in your degree and gain a complete Level 6 qualification within a short period of time, usually one year.
Unlike in other forms of higher education that is known to stress students with heaps of tests, irrelevant assignments and exams, HND tends to be assessed through assignments, projects and practical tasks.
These are the major advantages.
Disadvantages of Studying A HND:
HND is described as being role-specific in comparison to full degrees where the learning is more diversified.
Career wise, there are limitations to the position a person with an HND can occupy. This reason is why many people are of the opinion that HND is less recognized unlike the B.Sc.
Before now, the preference of one qualification over the other has raised numerous reactions. There were numerous questions as to why those with qualifications such as HND are considered last in the course of employment. This development however made a lot of people with HND qualification to always believe that their qualification can only get them blue collar jobs.
In recent years, HND courses have grown and are in high demand by employers. This is because of the focus on practical skills that HND qualifications offer which is aimed at providing students with the tools they require for excellent performance in their preferred field.
However, Employers are constantly looking for graduates with these skills and are also willing to pay adequate for their services. This has however changed the impression people had about having an HND.
So, if you're one of those with this qualification, don't be too hard on yourself. There is also an opportunity for you to secure a well-paying job that will afford you the kind of life you deserve. However, if you're an education fanatic and one who is enthusiastic about career advancement, furthering and topping up to B.Sc. will be the best bet because the fact still remains that some company policies only permit people with higher qualification to occupy certain positions which of course attracts higher pay.
As a result of such policies, regardless of your level of expertise on the job, you may never be allowed to occupy such positions with an HND.
If all you can afford is an HND, run with that and be confident about it. If you can afford to upgrade to a BSc, then, kudos to you. When you do this, better and higher opportunities will come your way. Remember, with an HND, you will be starting from the second year for your degree program which will only take a short duration of one year to be completed.

Bruce Campbell Leaks 'Ash Vs. the Walking Dead' Script?
Bruce Campbell Leaks Ash Vs. the Walking Dead Script?
— December 1st, 2015
While the last few zombie movies haven't brought in big business, with Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and Maggie both faltering at the box office, it's a completely different story on TV. AMC's The Walking Dead, which just wrapped up the first half of Season 6, is going stronger than ever, and pulls in bigger ratings than some network programing. And Ash Vs. Evil Dead, which premiered this past October and is at the halfway mark of Season 1, has proven to be a giant hit with fans and critics alike. Considering that...What would it look like if both shows collided?
Ash Vs. Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell has 'supposedly' leaked the script for a crossover with The Walking Dead. And while that show is confirmed to run well into the next decade, with story lines mapped out through Season 12 and counting, this script is short. And sweet. In fact, the whole plot doesn't stretch beyond a page. Considering that one page of script usually translates to one minute of screen time, we're looking at a crossover episode that would last roughly :30 seconds.
Coming from Bruce Campbell, of course his Ashley Williams is the star of this crossover. He's also the glorified hero. Along for the ride is Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes. The setting brings us back to the first episode of The Walking Dead, which aired way back in 2009. Rick is just waking up from his coma.

Dressed in his hospital gown, Rick finds himself disoriented and not sure what has happened. He exits the hospital, and stares on in disbelief. The parking lot is strewn with decaying, decapitated corpses for as far as the eye can see. In the original pilot episode, most of the Walkers still had their heads intact. So, what the heck is going on here?
As Rick stumbles through the bloody, stink-filled parking lot, he happens upon a car that will be instantly recognizable to any fan of director Sam Raimi. The classic 1973 Oldsmobile Delta Royale. Ash's car. It is parked in a spiral of crimson coated bodies. There, sitting on the hood is Ashley Williams himself. He is covered in blood. A stunned and panicked Rick asks, 'What the hell is going on?' Ash explains.
"Zombie apocalypse. You might as well go back to sleep, I took car of it."
End scene. Roll credits. The perfect crossover, don't you think? Or course, you have to know that this is a joke. But it sure would be fun to see Ash dropped directly into Alexandria, especially with everything that's gong on there now. It's doubtful Rick would ever become friends with Ash. And vice versa. But it's fun to imagine the possibilities, isn't it? Take a look at the official Tweet from Bruce Campbell himself.

I leave for Africa today.
By Tuesday evening I'll be staring at a sky full of stars in the southern hemisphere.
I'm not even going to pretend that's not blowing my mind a little.
My heart is bursting at the seams. There is light shining out of my face. Out of my fingers. Out of my soul.
The obstacles I have overcome to get to this place, including but not limited to the three (very recent) attempts to leave North Carolina to get back to California to fly back across the country (fewer than 24 hours later) to jump over the pond to get to the other side (of the world) have been . . . exhausting. Challenging. A bit, um. . . unstable, uncertain, and unpredictable.
You know, kinda like life.
There have been moments when I was pretty sure I was going to sell my car to finish raising the required funds for the Africa Yoga Project. There have been hours where I was so overwhelmed by the work in front of me I chose to shut down and do absolutely nothing. There have been days where I felt irresponsible for leaving my kids and my students in the middle of the school year.
But I pushed through anyway. Because I can. Because I do. Because I know.
Every setback was resolved through release. Every obstacle overcome with a few creative pivots, some crafty adjustments, an open mind, and the willingness to ask for, and receive, help.
I could tell endless stories about what has occurred to make this happen. I could share anecdotes that reveal how I reaffirmed repeatedly that I was doing the right thing. I could go on, and on, and on.
I'll just share this one, actually. Because this one — it's enough.
I could not possibly ask for more. No way. No how. To me, this is the greatest form of validation I could ask for. My kids perceive me as happy. They can articulate to me the ways in which they see that manifested in our lives. And, more importantly, they can identify that it is a choice, one that I keep making every day in the way that I choose to live.
My kids know I'm happy.
I know then, that they are too. I know then, that they will continue to be. I know then, that the work I've been doing the last few years— defining my purpose, listening to my gut, refusing to return to conventional, normal, predictable, or to take "safe bets," has been a total win.
Happiness is a choice. It's mine, and it's theirs too.
I'm leaving for Africa, and I'm happy.
I hope, most sincerely, that you are choosing to be too. Life is beautiful. Go and get yours.
Have an amazing time. Sharing that "Happy" forward will be as powerful as the yoga itself.

Safe Space helping to reintegrate Cape Town's homeless
"They can help you, but it's entirely up to you if you want to change your life"
3 December 2018 By Sophia Wilhelm News | Cape Town

The Safe Space under Culemborg bridge in Cape Town's city centre has helped secure part-time employment for 48 homeless people and reunited eight people with their families since it was opened in July, according to the City.
Nathaniel and Sophia Booysen have been at the facility since 22 July. Sophia was on the streets for two years and Nathaniel for 11 years in Oakdale. They were approached by representatives from the City's Department of Social Development about staying at the Safe Space. "We're happy here," said Sophia.
During the day, they go to The Haven Night Shelter to get food.
She is hoping to secure temporary work as a fieldworker through the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). "I'll be working at 2am every morning so we can find out where homeless people sleep at night. I'll be making R1,200 every second week."
Alderman JP Smith, Mayoral Committee Member for Social Services, said 200 EPWP opportunities will be available over the festive season.
Bonita Gamba has been at the Safe Space for three weeks. Gamba works two-hour shifts daily at the Jesus Saves programme and makes R50. Before arriving at the Safe Space, she said she spent over half of her disability grant to stay at a shelter in the city.
"I was treated like a second-class citizen when I went to other shelters. The food was minimal and the living conditions were terrible. The supervisors were insensitive and not compassionate. Here you do your own thing. Nobody is shouting orders at you or telling you how to behave," said Gamba.
Siraaj Isaacs is a drug user who has been staying at the Safe Space for two weeks. Social workers on the site have assisted him with going into rehabilitation at The Salvation Army in Klapmuts in January 2019. In the meantime, the social workers are helping him find a temporary job through the EPWP. He said he would like to be able to buy his daughter a Christmas gift.
"They can help you, but it's entirely up to you if you want to change your life. I'm still young. It's not over for me," said Isaacs.
Isaacs said the coverage provided by the shelter could be better. "When it rains, there is no protection … At night while you're sleeping, the wind blows the blankets off you. It gets so cold … I don't want to be ungrateful but the city could've done a better job in fixing up this place."
The City is clear that the Safe Space is intended as a transition for those willing to get off the street. "We've tried to make it as liveable as possible … It is not somewhere where you want to be forever," said Smith. "The arrangement with everybody is that they will understand that they need to move on at some point to the next option." He said the City hopes to establish six other Safe Spaces in the future.
The overnight sleeping facility provides 230 beds, of which 210 are currently filled. It was an initiative of the City's Social Development and Early Childhood Development Department to address the shortage of beds at shelters in the city centre and the safety of those sleeping on the streets.
The space is protected by 24-hour law enforcement officers. It supplies beds, lockers, toilets, showers and coffee. Food is not provided. The residents must leave the space at 8:30am and return at 5pm.
According to Smith, about 20 people have been either relocated to their hometown, reunited with their families, placed in senior care facilities, or in alternative shelters closer to their family and work opportunities.
Social workers have helped 48 people get part-time employment at partnered organisations such as Jesus Saves and Straatwerk. They have also helped five people secure permanent employment.
Smith said about 50 people have left the Safe Space because of dissatisfaction with the rules, such as its no-drug policy and requirement that people "commit to some form of personal development geared towards reintegration".

The Power Of Dreams, the world's famous tagline would in one's mind, conjure images of innovative products that have been produced by the worlds famous Japanese auto manufacturer, Honda. In its beginnings, the company started producing its own complete motorcycles with frame and engine of the 1949 D-Type and eventually with the first production automobile was the t360 mini pick-up truck, which went on sale in 1963. Over the next few decades, Honda worked to expand its product line and expanded operations and exports to numerous countries around the world.
Honda cars made their first appearance in Malaysia in 1969, where Kah Motor Co. Sdn Bhd was set up to further Honda's reach in the Malaysian and Singaporean markets. Since then, the Honda brand is synonymous with good reliability, all-round performance, innovative designs and sensible practicality which gained the brand a strong following ever since. Honda cars are also the go-to brand for many used car shoppers; models like the Accord, City, Civic, CR-V, and Jazz are still the popular choice for many young professionals and executives to date. The choice for car enthusiasts when it comes to Japanese cars will go after performance-oriented models such as the Honda Civic Type-R, CR-X, NSX, NSX Type-R and NSX-R supercars, and the S2000 roadster. Honda not only caters evocative cars such as these, but also offer practical family MPVs like the Odyssey and Stream.

Barnardo's and FCB Inferno Launch New Hard-Hitting TV Campaign
Press Release - London, 05 September 2019
Computer-generated hyenas symbolising the fear and anxiety felt by bullied children feature in a groundbreaking new Barnardo's TV advertisement
The ad, which highlights the charity's mental health support services, will air for the first time on Channel 4. It depicts a 12-year-old girl who feels distressed and afraid while at school, both as she walks home and while she is at her home on her phone in her bedroom. Through the ad, the audience can see that, because of social media and with most children owning smartphones and other devices, problems at school can follow young people home.
In the 40-second commercial, the girl finds support and hope for the future by talking to a specialist – a Barnardo's counselor. Creative agency FCB Inferno concepted the films, in partnership with production company Rogue Films, with award-winning director Sam Brown, VFX experts The Mill and sound studio Factory. This is the first work in a series of three new ads which are the next installment of Barnardo's "Believe In Me" awareness-raising campaign.
The stories are portrayed by actors but are based on just one of the many real-life experiences of some of the children supported by the UK's leading children's charity. Staff working in children's services for Barnardo's have been consulted to ensure that emotions are represented authentically and that a mental health practitioner was present during filming.
"Barnardo's is very proud of our new high-impact adverts which raise awareness of the services we provide for vulnerable children and young people across the UK," said Barnardo's Chief Executive Officer Javed Khan.
"Our aim was to bring to life the serious challenges faced by the children we support. The use of CGI helps give TV viewers a sense of the way a child might feel when they are bullied, on and offline, and the impact it can have on their mental health.
"Although the advert shows that bullying can be frightening, it also demonstrates that with safe spaces and specialist support, such as we provide at Barnardo's, children can recover from trauma."
FCB Inferno Chief Executive Officer Frazer Gibney added: "I am incredibly proud of the second wave of work we have created for Barnardo's and want to thank everyone involved – the clients for backing a brave idea, the creatives for originating it and Sam and the post-production company for executing it with such craft and flair. At every stage of the journey, people have put their heart and soul into this campaign, and I hope this work will raise better awareness of the life-changing work that Barnardo's does for young people."
Director Sam Brown said: "My brief was simple, but also incredibly complex at the same time. FCB Inferno tasked me with telling people about the great work Barnardo's does every day – and doing it in a highly memorable way, in under 40 seconds to boot."
"I hope people will see that the scariness that comes across in the advert is reflective of some of the real lived experiences of the children Barnardo's supports. It's devastating when a child experiences fear, anxiety and emotional distress at a young age and I wanted to ensure that these emotions were represented as authentically as possible."
"But at the same time, I hope people see that the final message of the advert is about the life-changing work Barnardo's does with these children, and realise that the charity cannot do it alone. It needs the public's help so it can support even more families."
Barnardo's mental health support services across the UK work with more than 40,000 children, parents and carers. This includes supporting nearly 29,000 children through school-based programmes which increase children's emotional resilience and empathy to prevent bullying behaviour from starting.

Friends – Good and True and Preferably Autie by Yenn Purkis
August 2, 2016 Spectrum Women
My childhood and early adulthood was characterised by my friends – either the fact that they were absent or inappropriate or downright dangerous. I never had a peer group. In fact I was so devoid of suitable friends that I found myself taking on belief systems and attitudes just to be accepted by one dodgy peer group or another – revolutionary socialists, criminals, drug addicts – I wanted so much to belong to something that I didn't seem to mind how negative or unpleasant membership of that peer group might be. I lacked a genuine culture. I felt so isolated […]
