In all five games of this years Six Nations, England's failure to start quickly has seen them falling behind within the first 20 minutes. Whilst in all but the Ireland game they were able to fight back, they will not be given the same opportunities against the likes of South Africa and New Zealand during the World Cup.
It's inexplicable that this happened in every single game of this years Six Nations. Whether this be down to a failure to get the side properly worked up pre-game, or a failure of the on-field leadership group, the England coaching team need to rectify this problem and quickly. Had they have resolved this earlier they could well be celebrating a Six Nations title right now.
From charge downs through to aimless kicking into the oppositions 22, there are still a number of issues that need to be resolved in this aspect of England's play. There's no doubt that George Ford has the ability to put in some sublime kicks, however he is still prone to the odd howler every so often.
This issue is compounded by the fact that other than Mike Brown, he is pretty much England's only real kicking option. The coaching team therefore need to focus on developing a few more options when it comes to kicking to spread the burden and ensure opponents don't simply target Ford and cause more charge downs in important games.
For pretty much the first time in Stuart Lancaster's reign, England fans are now in a position where they can pretty much name their sides backline before it is even announced. This represents a huge opportunity for England to go into the World Cup with a settled group who have experienced playing alongside one another for a few games.
There are still one or two positions up to debate, with inside centre representing a key one. There is also some debate over whether there may be better options on the wing, however the current side have done enough to justify retaining their places. The question now is where do players currently out with injuries fit back in?
Unfortunately Luther Burrell failed to properly grasp his opportunity at outside centre during the Six Nations meaning England must continue the search for a 12 ahead of the World Cup. Billy Twelvetrees had his most impressive appearance for England against Wales as a second half substitute but failed to build upon this.
With time running out, England now need to quickly find an option at 12, and give them time to bed in during the warm-up games. There are a few options fortunately, however it's now a case of whether they move a more experienced player like Tuilagi or Farrell outside of Ford, or if they look at someone new like Henry Slade, whatever happens, they cannot continue as is.
Whilst Dylan Hartley excelled during the Autumn Internationals, England's quest to curb his red mist has seen him quelled somewhat as a player. He looked subdued for much of the Six Nations, with even his usually accurate line-out throwing looking a little suspect at times. The question is do England stick or go with another option like Tom Youngs who impressed?
Equally Joe Marler didn't look quite at his best during the Six Nations, so is now the time for England to consider their other options at loosehead. Dan Cole did just enough to justify his selection, although he needs more game time to get back to full fitness. There's no doubt he will come under pressure from David Wilson sooner rather than later though.
Once the go to strength of this England side, the defence has looked a shadow of it's former self at times during the Six Nations. Whilst this has coincided with a more positive approach by the team, it's important they do not player with complete reckless abandon as they will surely be punished by the world's top sides later this year.
A balance needs to be struck between the positive attitude of the current side and the steadfast defence of old which is likely to be the cornerstone of any World Cup challenge. Against France the porous defence is somewhat understandable given the circumstances, however against the likes of Italy and Scotland it was inexcusable.
One of England's biggest issues in recent years has been their failure to score tries in important matches. At long last this now seems like an issue that can be laid to rest after a series of impressive displays jam-packed with tries England sides of old could only have dreamed of scoring against such opposition.
This should fill the side with confidence going into the World Cup, although there are still areas to be worked on. Against Scotland in particular, England failed to finish off a number of clear opportunities which eventually cost them dearly in the title race. If they are to seriously challenge for the World Cup they need to ensure they are finishing off these kinds of chances.
One of the things that held back England in their final game against France was the lack of game changers on the bench. Whilst the likes of Richard Wigglesworth are great options to bring on to close a game out, they are not the kind of player who are likely to pull a try out of nowhere when England need it most.
Instead the selectors need to be looking at players like Danny Care and Christian Wade who can create a moment of magic out of nothing. This may be less of an issue if England can sort out their slow starts and get an early lead, however as is they need to have try scorers on the bench to ensure they can battle their way back into games.
One of the highlights of England's recent run has been the performance of half-back pairing Ben Youngs and George Ford. Both are currently at the top of their game and were instrumental in much of what England did well over the last few weeks. It is vital that they are given the continued support of the coaching staff ahead of the World Cup.
The other important element here is that England need to ensure both players have the right men around them. Ford in particular thrives when he has willing runners like Joseph, England must therefore continue to select such players to ensure they get the very best out of their young half-back pairing.
One area of traditional strength for this England side has been the set piece. Both the scrum and the line-out have been key platforms which the team can build off. Unfortunately both of these areas, whilst not poor, certainly weren't at their best during the Six Nations. This must be an area of slight concern for the coaching team.
Some of this fluctuating form can be put down to injuries which saw an ever changing front five utilised over the last six months. That being said, Dylan Hartley didn't look up to his best during the tournament so something needs to be done. The set piece is absolutely key for this side who rely on getting ball in hand and running from deep.
Despite the positive results over this years Six Nations, it would be easy for the England coaching staff to revert to a more conservative approach which would inevitably see certain players return to the starting XV for their ability to shut-out a game rather than win it. This simply cannot happen such have been the performances of late.
Despite falling just short, the team have the backing of the fans which could be absolutely essential when the World Cup kicks-off later this year. They therefore need to ensure they're giving supporters something to cheer about which could turn Twickenham into a real trump card when even the big boys come to town.

The Duke and the Duchess's Trickery – Go Hidal-Go!
Throughout the readings for this week, one of the main topics raised in class was the fact that the Duke and the Duchess kept tricking and making fun of Don Quixote and Sancho. There were many instantness in the readings where Don Quixote and Sancho would be left in an unfortuanate circumstance while the Duke and the Duchess would be laughing behind their backs. The way they pulled so many tricks on them was because they indulged in each of Don Quixote's and Sancho's fantasies.
Don Quixote's belief that he is a noble knight-errant and Sancho's belief that he would be governor of an island one day is what both of them put a lot of value on and almost live for. The Duke and the Duchess realized that and took advantage of it. They would agree with Don Quixote's and Sancho's crazy ideas and opinions and hence gained their trust. Once they had Don Quixote's and Sancho's trust, they knew they had power over them. They used this power to abuse Don Quixote and Sancho and play elaborate tricks on them.
A great example of this comes in chapter thirty-two. This is when the servant plays a trick on him. They wash Don Quixote's head with basin and then happen to run out of water in the middle of it all. Don Quixote then has to sit at the table with a mound of suds on his head for quite a long time. A quote from this comes on page six hundred and sixty-nine, "All those present, and there were many, were watching him, and when they saw that he had a neck half a vara long, and a complexion more than moderately dark, and closed eyes, and a beard full of soap, it was truly astonishing and a sign of great astuteness that they could hide their laughter." The Duke than to keep Don Quixote from realizing it was a joke told the maiden, "Come and wash me, and be careful you don't run out of water." Don Quixote of course never realized it was a joke.
Another example of this is in chapter thirty five when a huge wagon arrives on the scene. Merlin who was in the wagon tells Don Quixote that in order to disenchant Dulcinea, Sancho must whip himself 3,300 times on his bare bottom. Sancho of course says no to this idea and says it is not his problem. The maiden on the wagon, dressed as Dulcinea, then chastised Sancho for not doing what she said. The Duke also threatens to take away Sancho's govenorship if he does not comply. After hearing that, he gives in but says that he will only preform the whipping when he feels like it and on his own time. It later shows in the novel that this was the Duke and the Duchess's plan all along.
In these new chapters, Don Quixote and Sancho are getting teased and played around with a lot but are oblivious to it. They must think that they are just having a lot of bad luck recently. I don't know if this will keep happening as the novel continues but I have a feeling it will.


Quality spare parts are actually durable and take long time before they were out compared to counterfeits in the market. Durable products actually increase the breakdown time of your motorcycle.
Genuine spare parts increase efficiency of the motorbike since they fit perfectly with your motorcycle. This allows it to give you the maximum output with the minimum consumption of fuel.
Taking your motorbike to the garage and getting it repaired consumes a lot of your time which you could have done some other work. To avoid this, you get quality motorcycle spares that take long before wearing out.
The rate of depreciation of any machine is highly dependent on the maintenance. Well maintained motorbike depreciates at a very slow rate since they have maintained their efficiency. Since you may want to sell your bike sometimes you need to have maintained its quality to avoid losses from its sale.

YouTube partners with NBC News to stream Democratic debate
The most recent debate saw relatively low ratings, but a live-stream on the Google-owned platform could help propel growth for the next round.
YouTube has partnered with NBC News to stream the final U.S. Democratic debate live on Jan. 17.
The full debate will be broadcast simultaneously on NBC News's YouTube channel, as well as its linear channel, at 9:00 p.m. EST.
Through the partnership, NBC will gain access to real-time Google Trends data. It will also forward questions from the YouTube community to the candidates.
The instant feedback nature of social media and digital video has made the live streaming of debates an increasingly popular choice. In the summer, Facebook partnered with Fox News for the broadcast of the Republican primary debate, although Facebook did not actually stream the debate but ran real-time polls and forwarded user questions from the social media platform to the candidates. Shortly thereafter, CNN live-streamed the Democratic debate in VR through the NextVR app (CNN did not make the numbers for that initiative public).
Capturing the attention of a younger audience could also be vital to the results of the election: Research by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement showed in 2012, the youth vote was vital to the election and was part of what ensured President Barack Obama's victory. Obama won the vote of 67% of voters age 18 to 29. About half of eligible voters in that demographic voted in both the 2012 and 2008 presidential elections.
The most recent Democratic debate, which took place Nov. 14 on CBS, reported relatively low numbers for this election — approximately 8.5 million people tuned in, according to Nielsen (by comparison, more than 20 million people watched both the first and second Republican debates, which were broadcast on Fox and CNN, respectively).
But by broadcasting on YouTube, the debate will be opened up to more than one billion global users. According to its own statistics, YouTube users watch more than five million hours of news on the platform every day.
In a blog post announcing the partnership, YouTube promised more election coverage in 2016, but did not provide any specifics on what it will be covering. This is the first time YouTube has been tapped to live-stream a political debate, although YouTube recently partnered with NBC to promote one of its linear television shows, Heroes Reborn and the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live.

Prized for its fragrant flowers, showy conelike fruit, handsome foliage, and smooth gray bark, Magnolia virginiana (Sweet Bay Magnolia) can be grown as a graceful, slender tree or as a multi-stemmed shrub. Evergreen to semi-evergreen in mild climates, the foliage of lanceolate shiny green leaves glimmers in the wind as a result of their silvery undersides. Solitary, lemon scented, cup-shaped flowers, 3 in. across (7 cm), appear in mid-spring and bloom sporadically throughout the summer. Adorned with 9-12 velvety, creamy-white petals, each flower open in the morning and close at night. They are followed by showy, cone-like fruits with bright red seeds. Slow-growing, with no serious disease or insect problems, this Magnolia is perfect for a small patio or as a specimen tree.
Grows with a rounded, spreading habit, up to 10-35 ft. tall and wide (3-10 m) in the North, and up to 60 ft. tall (18 m) in the South.
A full sun to part shade lover, this plant is best grown in consistently moist, slightly acidic, organically rich, well-drained soils. Unlike most other Magnolias, tolerates wet soils.
Virtually pest and disease free.
Spectacular as a specimen tree, for shrub borders or foundation plantings. Perfect near ponds and streams.
Prune after blooming during the growing season because dormant magnolias do not easily heal.
Propagate using stratified seed or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer.

Wonder Woman Adds Chris Pine To Play Steve Trevor
by Joshua Kaye July 29, 2015
by Joshua Kaye July 29, 2015 0 comment
Recently rumored to have a role in Green Lantern, Chris Pine will be playing the possible love interest of Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman
It was all but certain that Chris Pine would be joining the DC Cinematic Universe at some point as the next Hal Jordan in Green Lantern Corps. So it's surprising to see that The Wrap has reported Chris Pine will be playing Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot as the titular character. While there haven't been any plot details released for the film yet, it's reported that Trevor "will be no mere love interest for Gadot's Diana Prince, as there will be plenty of action to keep him busy."
So who is Steve Trevor? In the comics, Trevor is an intelligence officer who crash lands on Wonder Woman's home of Paradise Island, and she follows him back to America. Most situations involving Trevor and Diana typically involves a sort of reverse damsel in distress, with Diana coming to Steve's rescue a lot of the time. It'll be interesting to see how the role is written, but in a year that has had two insanely strong male/female co-leads with Mad Max: Fury Road and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, it's clearly not impossible for two strong characters of different genders. But when it comes down to it, the title of the film is Wonder Woman, so it's important that Gal Gadot is given her chance to shine.
Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and will be in theaters June 23, 2017.

My first job after residency was in a neighborhood health center in the city. We provided care for a large, relatively discrete ethnic population. Most of my patients did not speak English, but I was never without one of our excellent translators. My patients came from a culture where children's futures were considered paramount. They heeded any and all medical advice about pregnancy and birth.
There were down-sides to the job, of course. I admired many things about the culture of my patients, but there were some I found difficult to accept. The clearly inferior position of women and the way that many of my patients greeted the birth of a daughter with obvious and profound disappointment bothered me.
One spring Friday, I met Mrs. W. She had come to the US only 3 weeks before and believed herself to be about 8 months pregnant. She had two healthy girls and no history of medical problems. However, on exam, her uterus was larger than expected and I ordered an ultrasound to see if she was closer to her due date than she thought. The patient smiled brightly when the translator explained the ultrasound and the translator reported that Mrs. W was happy to have an ultrasound. She and her husband wanted to know if this was the son they both prayed for.
The ultrasound report arrived in my office midmorning on Tuesday. Mrs. W was carrying twins, 8 months along, and both girls. One of the twins appeared to have a heart problem of some kind, with clear evidence of serious illness. The twin was swollen (probable heart failure) and there was other evidence of severe compromise.
I was furious. The ultrasonographer should have called me immediately. The information was extremely time sensitive. The patient should have been evaluated promptly by me and a battery of specialists to determine whether the babies should be delivered early and to arrange special care for the ill twin. The office called Mrs. W and advised her to come to the hospital right away.
At the hospital I found that the situation was worse than I feared. The nurses could find only one heartbeat. I pulled out a portable ultrasound machine and did a quick scan. The ill baby was dead. She had died, and based on her appearance, almost certainly from congenital heart disease.
The second baby looked healthy and vigorous. The situation still remained precarious, because it was unlikely that a pregnancy with a dead twin would continue to term, and it was 8 weeks before the expected due date. A baby born that early would have a good chance of survival, but far from assured. Mrs. W was admitted to the hospital and given medication to speed maturation of the baby's lungs in advance of the inevitable premature delivery.
Sure enough, despite intensive medical efforts to prevent delivery, Mrs. W ruptured her membranes approximately 1 week later in the middle of the night. My partner on call delivered the babies. Baby girl 1 was sent to the morgue. Baby girl 2 went directly to the neonatal intensive care unit. We were optimistic that the extra week of pregnancy, and the medication for lung maturation had improved her chances for an excellent outcome.
The parents did not express any disappointment that this baby was girl. Indeed, they seemed to have bonded to her fiercely, visiting her in the NICU at all hours and willing her to live. Baby girl W had a surprisingly rocky course. She required prolonged ventilator assistance to breathe, developed gastrointestinal problems and other complications of prematurity as well.
Gradually, the Baby W began to improve and after several weeks it became clear that she would survive. Almost 2 months after her mother was admitted, Baby W went home with her parents.
Several weeks later I arrived at my office to start a day of seeing patients. Before I crossed the threshold, I knew that something was wrong. The translators had red rimmed eyes. Our patient educator was crying.
I looked around the room. "What happened?" I asked, dreading the reply.
I was stunned. Premature babies are at much higher risk of sudden infant death, but she had seemed so healthy when she left the hospital. I sought out the director and we ducked into an empty exam room to talk. I was still in shock and she looked grim faced. What had happened? What had caused the baby's death?
Baby girl W's mother had found her lifeless in her crib the previous night. She called an ambulance, which brought the baby to another hospital closer to home than our hospital. The pediatricians at the other hospital tried to resuscitate Baby W but it was far too late. Compounding the tragedy, no one could communicate with Baby W's parents because they did not speak English. They waited for a translator to arrive.
The pediatrician, who had no knowledge of the complicated history of Baby W, proceeded as if this were any other unexplained infant death. He sent the baby's body to radiology for a full body X-ray. By the time the translator arrived, he knew why Baby W had died.
I was dumbfounded. The director recognized my confusion.
I went back to my office and told my staff. They were equally stunned, and over the next few days we agonized over whether any one of us could have seen this coming. Child abuse is not uncommon in any community, and we had all been trained to look for the warning signs, but none of use had seen any.
Sometimes tragedies leave us with valuable lessons, but sometimes they leave us with nothing but grief and pain. Even after 20 years, I still cannot make sense of what happened. Baby girl W's life had been threatened by the death of her twin, by the negligence of the ultrasonographer, and by a whole host of additional complications of prematurity. We all worked so hard to save her, and then, unwittingly, we sent her home with the man who would kill her. Baby girl W's life and death must mean something, but, I confess, I cannot conjure anything positive from her story of illness, struggle and the ultimate betrayal.

An Innovator's Mission: Financially Empower Immigrants
Immigrants come to the United States with the intention and determination of having a better life and working hard for it. Unfortunately, they face innumerable challenges, including navigating a new country's financial landscape as well as its healthcare and education systems.
Amir Hemmat, founder of Welcome Technologies, believes that the sooner we harness immigrants' positive intentions, the faster they can become active participants in society and productive Americans. Instead of relying on policy, which often doesn't result in practical solutions, he proposes private sector innovation to develop impactful solutions for immigrant communities.
Welcome Technologies' approach is to provide the tools communities need on a trusted digital platform. This platform offers information and tailor-made solutions that improve the lives of immigrants and their families, whether that's a guide to building credit, a bilingual bank account or affordable healthcare services.
Fundraising Strategies Every Investor Should Know
Most recently, the Los Angeles–based tech company has launched a series of financial services, beginning with the PODERcard, a more accessible bilingual bank account that's free of hidden costs. The hope is to empower Spanish-speaking newcomers to become more financially independent and avoid predatory financial products.
What was the spark for Welcome Technologies?
My co-founder and I are children of first-generation immigrants. The idea for Welcome Technologies came from our experiences growing up and working with immigrant communities from our previous careers. We had an educational media company that produced print brochures and digital media for the waiting rooms of consulates and embassies. The largest immigrant population in the U.S. is Hispanic, and they desperately needed a trusted advisor to help them obtain the necessary information and services. We were inundated with calls. Families would drive hours just to get a few minutes of in-person time with us. No one was receiving data-driven recommendations for the services they were seeking. Regardless of education or income, it had been a word-of-mouth system. At best, that's inefficient, and, at worst, it's highly predatory.
Until now, there hasn't been a digital Ellis Island. So we developed Welcome Technologies. By solving a problem for this segment of the population, we're creating a stronger society. The technology and solutions we are building can be an example to the rest of the world for how to better support our immigrant community members.
Are there any inaccuracies about recent immigrants you'd like to clear up?
There's a false narrative that this community would rather hold cash under their mattress than open a bank account, or they're not willing to move to digital solutions because they're too afraid to share their data. Or worse, they're comfortable paying higher rates of interest. Wrong. Immigrants want to be treated fairly. If you're not trying to take advantage of them with high fees or poor experiences, they're happy to bank with you.
These fallacies hurt companies and the banking community too. Immigrants are valuable but overlooked customers. Most tech companies flock toward millennials or Gen Z or some other sexy category. When you consider the amount this demographic contributes to our GDP, leaving their success to chance is crazy.
What types of credit and money problems do they face?
When people don't have a solid banking service, they're left in the shadows. It leads to thin credit files and low data. Not having credit scores hurts their ability to get good loans. Consequently, immigrants have often been regulated to expensive payday loans and check-cashing scenarios. Several industries have been generating a ton of money on their backs, taking advantage of them.
Some people think immigrants are afraid to engage or give data, but it's the opposite. They're brave and courageous. Imagine how confusing it is for someone who doesn't speak English and is unfamiliar with new systems. It's daunting, but they're doing it.
Immigrants haven't had enough of a voice or influence at the table. That's why we're building such a massive platform. We have more than two million users. With this reach and engagement, many corporate American companies are willing to offer concessions for improved experiences and better pricing. Hispanic immigrants are the fastest-growing segment in the country, so it's a chance for them to establish lifelong relationships.
It's also an opportunity for us to be disruptive, to shake things up a bit. We like that.
How is Welcome Technologies addressing these issues?
Deep needs are healthcare, financial services and telecom, so we connect them to those resources. We offer digital bank accounts, loans, debit cards and credit cards. A large majority of our immigrant communities had no banking relationship in their country of origin and certainly didn't have access to credit. We also educate. Building a credit score is hard for people who grew up here, let alone someone coming from another country.
Before the pandemic, our members were accustomed to in-person settings. Since then, we've adapted and we're now hosting Zoom conferences helping people use their bank accounts and explaining upcoming features. We're seeing a much greater desire for digital solutions that create efficiencies. We've made it simple to open a new, more accessible bank account. It only takes a few minutes. Most haven't experienced that in the past.
Our goal is for consumers to return to the platform every time they think about their next financial service. It's the best route to long-term brand loyalty. Ultimately, we can positively influence their spending decisions.
We also recently distributed a million-dollar grant to California farmworkers. With that money, they can purchase groceries, pay their utilities and get school supplies. These were primarily families that were overlooked by the stimulus program but are providing frontline, essential work.
In what way does "Saber Es Poder" fit into the company?
Saber Es Poder, which means "knowledge is power," is our consumer-facing brand and the community platform our technology powers. It's where immigrants can get answers to their questions and connect to key resources. Many prefer to engage in their primary language, so everything, including links to additional resources, is in Spanish. In a few years, we hope to expand Saber Es Poder so it's available to other immigrants in additional languages.
This platform delivers information in a way that's accessible, smooth and easy. The person doesn't have to do a Google search that will give 30 or 40 outputs that may be irrelevant. We provide all the resources and connections. Like everyone else, immigrants are extremely busy and usually don't have the time to research a topic. Our users know they're working with a trusted resource. We spend a lot of time ensuring that the first interaction is strong and positive, regardless of the question. When you solve a problem for a consumer at a critical transition point of their lives, they can be extremely grateful and loyal. We focus on creating that value and moment with our users.
You have a beneficial revenue stream — can you describe it?
We're building a massive enterprise, not by overcharging consumers but by aligning our incentives with them. Most companies before us have focused on extracting value from this consumer, and we are a company focused on creating value for consumers and being an advocate for their needs. That's where debit and credit cards come in. With our MasterCard and Visa partnerships, we build products that enhance peoples' lives. Every time they swipe the card, we receive a percentage of the interchange fee. This way, we can grow while also providing accessible and world-class financial services.
To get the word out, we have a massive digital presence, and we've also built a proprietary channel in over 65 consulate and embassy waiting rooms across the U.S. We've transformed them into learning environments, with digital screens showing our educational content. Our field representatives are on-site, interfacing with community members and leading workshops. We see about nine million unique visitors a year.
The feedback you receive must be amazing.
It is. What motivates our team and me is that we don't just get five stars. Our members call and say things like, "I own a small business, and your bank account helped me manage my money better and begin saving more. The process was so easy, and your call center agents were so helpful. I'm so grateful." This is a pretty vocal community. They're not afraid to share their opinions. We've now had users for several years who continue to stay engaged because they see Welcome Technologies as an essential resource in their lives. That's really rewarding for us.

Feedback from our students
"I am so pleased that I followed this course with LSJ. LSJ was initially recommended to me by a Czechoslovakian gentleman who worked for the BBC and now lives his retirement in London. He without doubt lead me to the right and best place. I have no hesitation in recommending LSJ to anyone since I know how valuable your lessons are."
Elmo D
"I also wanted to let you know that as a result of sending off my interview feature, from a previous assignment, to some local publications, I was approached last week about becoming a regular contributor for one of the magazines! This couldn't have happened without my doing the LSJ course, so I want to thank you again for all your help."
Eleanor D
"I just wanted to write to let you know that I have just been accepted for publication. My work is to be included in an anthology which I am really excited about. I'm even more thrilled that it isn't the so-called 'vanity publishing'. Just wanted to say, once again, a big thank you for all the time and effort you spent with me; encouraging and helping me to develop my poetry."
Clare C
"Thank you SO MUCH for all of your help, feedback and encouragement as you have tutored me these last months. I have really appreciated and valued your insights and shared knowledge. You have encouraged me as writer, and helped me to sharpen my skills. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time spent in lessons, on assignments, and with your feedback. Honestly, I'm just sad that it's over!"
Kristen F
"The course has provided me with the skills needed to set out alone, particularly with an understanding of the business end of freelance journalism and how to get published rather than just purely focusing on the actual writing. I found LSJ provided me with excellent service - even though I was based on the other side of the world!"
Lucy B
"Just to give you an update...I am now editing two publications at work, each of which have a 10,000 readership. I also edit the work website. I also write a monthly column for a trade magazine on behalf of my Chief Executive and have since been contacted by two other trade magazines to write columns for them."
Juliette H
"I had an incredible time discovering writers I had failed to read at undergraduate level and re-discovering writers whom I had not read for over 20 years. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in reading some of the greatest literature this country has produced."
"...my tutor Ken Ashton will be happy to know that now my articles appear frequently in the local press and I will continue to send articles from Australia to Sri Lanka. I am very glad that I followed the LSJ course and for all the encouragement I got from my tutor. Please convey my regards to him."
Oscar F
"Thanks to both of you for being firstly so quick at getting Lessons and Assignments back to me and for your encouragement and support for helping me to complete my Diploma and learn new skills which I am now successfully using as a Deputy Editor for a regional film magazine and website. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, particularly the travel and writing for TV & Radio assignments."
Shizana A
"I just wanted to send you a final note to say a great big 'THANKS'. Your comments, suggestions and encouragement were a big factor in my decision to study for an MA as a technical author. Which along with freelancing will make a very enjoyable working life."
Ray D
"It was terrific to receive feedback from a real author, a title I aspire to have one day, and being able to add the great hints and advice into my next story...again thank you for very much for telling me what your keen eyes saw and for parting with your hard earned experience when it comes to all things concerning writing."
Yul M
"The producer of the show was polite, and tried to avoid an awkward silence with friendly chit chat. She asked me if I was a student. ''I have a B.A. in American Culture and Literature. Oh, and I just finished a program at the London School of Journalism'', I replied. Her eyes lit up like fireflies. I was offered a job on the spot."

This week I'm reviewing My Cake Decorating Kits. I was given this opportunity because I'm part of the Alabama Women Bloggers Community. If you want to learn more about cake decorating, I highly recommend you check them out. It's a monthly subscription system, where you receive a new kit each month. Each kit comes with a magazine with beautiful pictures and recipes, as well as all the materials needed to decorate cakes and cookies.
First Guide, Set of Two Butterfly Cutters, a Cupcake Stand, and bonus gift – Icing & Cookie Press Gun Set.
So I made the butterfly cookies and had intentions of decorating them the next night. Well, my kids got a hold of them and needless to say there were no cookies to be had to decorate.
So that was a great excuse to make the yummy chocolate cake recipe with the chocolate butter cream icing. I have never been that great at cake decorating, but I'll have to say that with My Cake Decorating Kits and a little practice, I could actually make some beautiful creations.

Celtics reshaping 2020 NBA Draft scouting to cope with COVID-19
Matthew J. Lee/Boston Globe
March 31, 2020 2:07 pm ET
In the grand scheme of things, the limits being placed on the Boston Celtics scouting process for the 2020 NBA Draft are far from insurmountable.
There will be changes, and it's already had a significant impact — but given most teams start following prospects they have interest in months to sometimes several years in advance of the draft, the team has a solid body of research already organized to draw upon.
"I think that other than the finishing of the conference tournaments, it really didn't change much at all," noted team president Danny Ainge in a recent interview with the Boston Herald's Steve Bulpett.
In today's Herald:
A look inside as the Celtics prepare for a draft with many questions.
How did the cancellation of the NCAA tournament affect their process?https://t.co/LRHm2WSjmg
— Steve Bulpett (@SteveBHoop) March 31, 2020
Ainge had been out west to see a number of prospects in their respective conference tournaments before they — and almost all basketball games everywhere — were canceled.
"Those last few days of conference tournaments were cut short, but after that we don't usually go to the NCAA tournament," he revealed. "We watch them collectively as a group. So I don't really think things have changed all that much."
That's not to say that important context wasn't lost, though, as notes assistant general manager and team counsel Mike Zarren:
"Missing those tournaments is unfortunate, because often times you plan your schedule earlier in the year around the guys [you'd hope to see later] … You know which tournament you're going to, so you don't go to see those teams as much earlier in the year."
And while, as Ainge notes, the team doesn't usually attend the NCAA tournament, it's loss will still rob the team of one of the best opportunities to see how prospects play with the stakes as high as they can be at that level.
Analyzing five prospective shooters the Celtics could draft in 2020 https://t.co/w6iEbjXGLb
— The Celtics Wire (@TheCelticsWire) March 30, 2020
"[O]ne of the really useful things about the college conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament is the level of competition, particularly in the later rounds, is really high," offered Zarren.
"And so missing those games where some of the youngest prospects get to compete at the highest level definitely makes the scouting job more difficult, there's no question. But we've seen those guys play all year, and there's a lot of data on a lot of players."
"So it's not a disaster, but obviously more information is better," he added.
It won't just end with the missed tournaments, either — the combine and even the draft may well still be impossible to conduct in-person, or at least as normal, due to the pandemic.
"The draft workout process and the combine camps are still up in the air," related Ainge. "We don't know how that's going to work, but right now I'm spending a lot of time watching all those players.
"We've got it narrowed down to a few hundred," he said in evident seriousness.
Taking stock on who the experts think the Celtics will draft in 2020 https://t.co/lR17e6K9fB
Technological advances will be a boon to what the team will be facing in order to best inform its options for the coming draft.
Had something like this happened a few decades ago, Zarren believes Boston "would be shipping videotapes around to each other and not really getting to watch all the guys that we wanted to watch."
"The technology now is such that we literally can watch every possession the guy has played all year from the comfort of each of our homes and then have a good video conference where we all get together and talk about the guys," he added.
"I suspect we'll be doing a lot of that in the upcoming weeks."

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith…
– Hebrews 12:1,2
Shortly after the first Scotch-Irish farmers settled in Basking Ridge – about 1717 – they erected a log house of worship on the site of our present church. In 1731, John Ayers deeded to the trustees of this church one and a half acres "on or near the middle of which now stands a house built and intended for the exercising of religious worship in."
To accommodate a growing congregation, the original log cabin meeting house was replaced with a clapboard frame building near the same site as the log cabin in 1749. The building was 55 feet long and 35 feet wide, with the length running east and west and the pulpit on the North. There were 52 pews on the floor and 26 pews in the gallery.
Sanctuary 1890
When this became too crowded, the building was sold and removed, and in 1839 a new church in classic Greek revival architecture, was constructed of brick. This structure was enlarged in 1869 and altered in 1908. In 1960 the pulpit and choir areas were changed to the present arrangement. The sanctuary, church yard and oak tree are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Education Building and Memorial Chapel, adjacent to the church, were erected in 1955. Across the street is the Church House, built in 1967, containing a library, parlor, youth center, classrooms and offices. This space and the Educational wing are in frequent use during the week by the congregation and community.
The Church Yard has been a community "burying ground" since the early 18th century with the oldest stone dating to 1736. Dominating the yard is a white oak, estimated by tree experts to be over 600 years old. Its dimensions are 156 feet in the spread of its limbs and 20 feet in the circumference of the trunk.
Under this tree George Whitefield, the celebrated evangelist, preached in 1740 to some 3000 people. George Washington and his troops are said to have "rested under the old oak in the cemetery" on several occasions.
The Willits Church House
Across the street from the Sanctuary and Education buildings, the church's offices, library, parlor, youth center and other meeting rooms are located in the Willits Church House. This building was donated by Harris and Gladys Willits in 1968 and the foundation they established continues to generously support its upkeep and maintenance. In 2018, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of this building and rededicated it to many more years "To the Glory of God and for the Service of His Children."

Космоле́до () — атолл, входящий в группу островов Альдабра Внешних Сейшельских островов. Длина с запада на восток составляет 14,5 км, с севера на юг — 11,5 км. Общая площадь суши — около 5,2 км², а вместе с лагуной — около 152 км². Расположен в 178 км на восток от атолла Альдабра.

Острова
Всего в Космоледо насчитывается 16 островков и рифов, находящихся по краям атолла. Список островов приведён по часовой стрелке, начиная от северных:
 Северные острова. Северо-Западный остров, Северо-Восточный остров.
 Восточные острова. Иль-ду-Тру, Гоелетт, Гранд-Полит, Пети-Полит, Гранд-Иль (с хижиной рыбаков, площадь 1,6 км²).
 Южные острова. Пагода, Южный остров.
 Западные острова. Мостикью, Балайн, Менай (2,3 км²), Саурис, Манакью, Айлет, Ближний Айлет.

Фауна
Атолл Космоледо является местом крупнейшей колонии всех трёх видов олуш, обитающих на Сейшельских островах. На Космоледо проживает популяция красноногих олуш (Sula sula), состоящая из приблизительно 15 000 пар. Тем не менее на атолле практически полностью уничтожены фрегат Ариеля (Fregata ariel) и большой фрегат (Fregata minor), которого осталось всего около 20 пар, по сравнению с несколькими сотнями в 1970 году. На северной оконечности острова Гранд-Иль находится крупная колония тёмной крачки (Onychoprion fuscatus).

Лагуна является важным местом питания для мигрирующих куликов, наиболее распространённые среди них рачьи ржанки (Dromas ardeola) и камнешарки (Arenaria interpres). На Космоледо обитает особая форма мадагаскарской горлицы (Streptopelia picturata).

Общество охраны Сейшельских островов проводит работу на острове по восстановлению природы, в частности, уничтожения завезенных кошек и крыс.

Q: ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor view returning multiple values for a Html.CheckBoxFor I have a View that contains the following Line of code:
//(DaysOfWeek is a bool[])
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.Data.DaysOfWeek[0])

It starts off as false.  When the user "checks" the box and returns, it returns a value for both true and false;
Here is what is being passed back as part of the form data
Data.DaysOfWeek[0]:true
Data.DaysOfWeek[0]:false

Why is it doing that?

A: This is because standard HTML checkboxes return no value if unchecked. To make this annoying behaviour more intuitive, the CheckBoxFor method creates a checkbox and a hidden control with the same name, with a value of false, something like this:
<input type="checkbox" name="myControl" value="True" /> My control
<input type="hidden" name="myControl" value="False" />

What you will see when the form is posted is either:
False // checkbox unchecked
True,False // checkbox was checked

Therefore, to test if the box was checked you should use Contains('True'):
bool checkboxChecked = formCollection["myControl"].Contains("True");

Ahead of Thanksgiving, this week's IJN features several fall-themed recipes and an article about the Sephardic Jewish love of pumpkin.
One of the recipes is Paula Shoyer's cornbread challah, which we decided to test out. A few things to keep in mind: If you don't have bread flour to hand (we didn't) and are using regular flour, be prepared to use more. We recommend increasing the flour amount by 1/2 cup, but keep the container nearby. You may find that you'll need more. The dough is very soft, which is presumably why it calls for bread flour, which has a higher gluten content.
Another tip: We split the dough in half as instructed, but formed one half into rolls to serve with Thanksgiving dinner. At 2 oz. per roll, half the dough made about 9 rolls.
In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast into the 1/3 cup warm water and mix in the teaspoon sugar. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, or until it thickens. Meanwhile, in a separate medium bowl combine the 2/3 cup sugar, salt, bread flour and corn meal. Set aside.
When the yeast is thick, add the oil, 2 eggs and warm water and mix well with a whisk. Add the dry ingredients and mix well with the dough hook of a stand mixer or with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle 1 tbsp. flour on your counter and place the dough on top. Knead until you have a mostly smooth dough, adding another tablespoon of flour if necessary.
Grease the bowl with the remaining 1 tsp. oil and return the dough to the bowl and rub your oiled hand on top of the dough. Cover with a dish towel and let rise for 1 hour.
Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a three-braided challah. Place loaves on a parchment- or Silpat-covered baking sheet and let rise for 45 minutes.
Place the remaining egg into a small bowl and add a little less than 1 tsp. water and beat well. Brush on top of the loaves and sprinkle the pumpkin seeds on top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden.


Awarding the compensation a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud also directed the setting up of a Committee to inquire into the role of erring officials who Nambi Narayanan said had implicated him in the alleged Indian Space Research Organisation spy case.
Nambi Narayanan had moved the top court challenging a Kerala High Court judgment that had upheld the state government s decision not to take action against the officials who had falsely implicated the scientist in the case in the mid-90s.


Even the station has changed!
These prestigious offices were first opened in 1938, survived bomb damage and numerous changes of company name, and are now destined for the crusher.
Thanks to John Hyde for taking and sending in the Photograph.
Sad to see where we spent those formative years as is now!


Mermaids. They are my absolute favourite, plus all those pastels and long wavy hair is perfect for SS14 considering as the beauty trends are one lip colours and braids. It just reminds me of modern mermaids.
Plus, I've sightly already crawled into the mermaid trend as I dyed my hair blueish green this year, but I want to try different shades of lipstick like more 'lilac' and 'orange', but I just need to find the perfect orange since I'm already in love with purple lipsticks.
The next trend I really want to try is being able to pull off that sporty look like Bella Mcfadden, one of my favourite style icons from the famous Instagram. Bella and her boyfriend always wear adidas together, which is so adorable; but how do you pull of a sporty look in a fashionable way.
I maybe need to take advice from Alexander Wang and pair it up with light nudes.
Also, dark colours are going to be my favourite this year. Especially black, everything goes with black.
What trends do you want to try this SS14?


Can't Find a Bookmark: My first sno-cone!
Lol this will be awkward for the men who enter. And sorry about yesterday. My neighborhood had a blackout and I almost killed whoever made it go out. -___- And it only came on around 4 so it was kind of late.
Btw I made a blog post and I kinda added something for guys. Nothing changed just what I asked if I could just vote for the novel instead of the guy lol. It'll help more adults to enter.
Dang, now I want a snow cone.
It would have to be Bones from The Night huntress series by Jeanine Frost.
Whew, he is smoking!!!! and ill fight with you if you deny Ky, remember, Carlos is better than Alex! but I still love him.


Since, I started my professional work life on 1 April 2010, I have served 8 different organisations in just 6 years and freelanced for numbers of other organisations voluntarily and also as consultants before. I clearly remember 13 July 2015, the day I had joined Practical Action, it was just like any other organisation I had served before. However, I had started my journey with a small road accident on the way to my office, which keeps the date full of memories for me.
A new organisation with a complete new team of people, I had not thought of being very comfortable but the people here made work life so easy, my conscience forced me to pen down this article. This is my return to each and every employee of Practical Action family for making it happen.
In India, people are skeptical about those who work with NGOs. I have faced so many situations where I feel people do not welcome the fact that I work in an NGO. When it comes to marriage proposals or parents, let me be very honest, the development sector is not something most people/parents look at. Such ironies apart, I made up my mind to mention 10 reasons why I love Practical Action more than my previous employers, however I have served in media houses, corporates and NGOs earlier. As I am celebrating my one year completion in the organisation, this is my return gift to the people around.
The organisation believes in the famous theory of the founder EF Schumacher i.e 'Small is Beautiful'. Even in work, I experienced this is so beneficial to start with small and then expand. Most of our projects are actually small and having the best impact but with a bigger future prospective. This organisation inherits this principle within you.
Innovations are the key to Practical Action's work. Though we are new in our operations in India, some innovations are unique indeed. The Small Wind and Energy System in Kalahandi providing electricity from both Solar and Wind through a hybrid system is definitely an innovation. The other country offices have so many innovations and I experience them through in-house communication. These innovations inspire me to think out of the box.
The organisation is liberal in terms of work culture. You get lots of encouragement during work and also fun elements are added. The organisation gives scope to reflect on your mistakes and also your successes. It gives much scope for self-assessment. The regular Monday meetings keep me updated about all others work and I self-asses my week's achievements and short comings if any.
This is something I love the most about the organisation. In our India Office, though a small team, we have experts from different areas. Working with my WASH team, Energy officer, Monitoring, the Admin I get to learn a lot of things. Even, I get to learn from the finance team about managing the finance in project management. If I talk about communication, my mates in Nepal, UK and other country offices are so well equipped with knowledge, I have learned a lot during the whole year. I thank them all for making my stay here with full of learning.
Oh yes! If you personally know me, then I am sure, you would have guessed how happy I am when I travel. And the organisation gives me scope to travel. Though these are official trips but, I get to learn from projects, people, and places. In a span of one year, I have had 11 trips to different project locations and out of which 4 are out of the state and one is out of country perhaps my first foreign trip to Bangladesh. All such work travels basically give me exposure to new work and let me document things both visually and in print.
Well, I am a born story teller, which I believe and try to create more stories. This happens when i meet people, I click them and write stories. Stories of change and stories of technology justice, this has made me a frequent blogger. I hope to create more such stories in both visuals and words for you all.
This is one organisation, which has allowed and actually approved my creative thinking. Some projects have actually taken shape with my creativity and value addition from my managers and other team mates. Even in other events, I had given free-hand to think rethink and create some magic.
I love my team, each of them. They get me some delicious food every day at the lunch table. I am like the finisher if something is left from the lunch boxes. The foodie in me loves them for making myself little fat. Jokes apart, being the youngest member of the team, I have been pampered, being scolded when I deserved that, being guided which happens quite often and being taught with lessons which have made me a better professional and a far better person.

Greetings to everyone soon to embark on the good ship Pathways to Enlightenment. I am looking forward to the journey very much and to your company, whoever and wherever you are. It would be good to have an active forum for this. Anyone else bought their ticket and feeling sociably supportive?
Most people enjoy using the private Facebook Group we have set up. You should have received an invitation to join earlier this week.
Be with you on the Inner Plane tomorrow morning!
Hi Wendy. Yes, thank you, I received the invite and joined the Facebook page but am a little unsure as to how private the page is. I understand it is called a closed group, and indeed can see that most members are not new to it and that so far few are choosing to post on it. I wonder if others share my concerns.
I am not overly familiar with Facebook but have discovered that it is possible to link to a member's home page and view some if not all their unrelated posts.
As someone who has previously chosen not to post personal information on Facebook I would appreciate some assurance that whatever I share there cannot be read outside the group.
Wendy, I am loving the meditations but I am disappointed not to have had a response from you about this, especially as the course was marketed as including the facility of a forum. Facebook is not comparable; it lacks the private, cosily enclosed supportive structure a forum can offer.
Wendy is unavailable right now.
Regarding Facebook, You do have access to information that other members choose to make available. Everything discussed in a closed group can only be seen by members, when they visit the group. It's like going to a closed meeting. You get to know the people at the meeting and everything said at the meeting is only available to the members who were at the meeting.
The forum on the other hand is viewable by all and you don't need to be a member to read the post.
Thank you Alex. Yes, I understand the forum can be read by anyone but privacy is ensured by the fact that forum members are unidentifiable in the bigger world. I cannot see a Facebook setting that blocks access to one's home page, perhaps I am missing it.
I raise this not just because of my own concerns but because I suspect/know others share them. The Facebook page is not being used by many and I wonder why.
Actually Facebook allows you to set the information that is available to others. Like address, location and such the individual has control of and can be visible only one person (me only) for things like address.
Anyone from a group not directly linked to you a a friend can only visit your public profile and see what you've permitted the world to see. Which may be accessible to search engines outside of Facebook, it depends on your setting. So no member of the group has access to more information than you're already freely sharing with search engines.
The above link explains a bit more how to make your Facebook more private. If it is a concern.
I am so glad Alex dived in and helped you. I have had an insanely busy couple of weeks and am just now accessing the forum. It is now used far less than it was before people started being comfortable using facebook for forum type gatherings.
I am not very savvy on facebook, so will also benefit from the information Alex shared.
Hope you've been enjoying the Saturday sessions. Isn't it a great way to start a weekend?
I hope your doing fantastically. It's been a while since we've chatted. I've been using Pathways of Enlightenment for some time and currently enjoying "Infinite Grace." I don't remember getting an invite to the Facebook group you mention. I tried looking for it on Facebook myself to no avail. How can I get access? Let me know. Thanks so much.
Why don't you email the name you registered for the Pathway series with to CustomerService@LearningStrategies.com and we'll send you another invitation.


This beautiful couple was married at the Secret Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. Their friends and family packed the HipBooth all night long.

Without Everyone Playing Their Part, England's Cricketing Struggles Will Continue
Ryan Sidebottom believes England can enjoy success again if the whole team is consistently performing
Conor Keane
Former England Test cricket bowler Ryan Sidebottom believes England can enjoy success again if the whole team is consistently performing, highlighting how reliant the team is on key figures.
England were outfought in their recent Second Test defeat to India, and it has raised a lot of questions regarding the quality of the depth within the team. Sidebottom feels that without everyone playing their part on the field, England will struggle to succeed going forward, and says the quality of India's bowlers helped to show the frailties within the England side.
Sidebottom explains to The Sportsman: "I'm sure England will be bitterly disappointed at the fact that, going into day five, they would've been buoyed by the position that they were in but they weren't able to capitalise and do the magic.
"You [England] are going to get knocked over at some stage, bowlers are allowed to bowl well but it's happening too often. It's almost that you want consistency from the England batsmen, but the consistency lies with losing our top order on a regular basis. I think heads will have to roll at some point but it's a fact that the middle order are getting exposed far too early on a regular basis."
India won the Second Test in a sensational finish after England had been in a commanding position heading into the final day. Sidebottom felt that the middle order were not prepared for shortcomings of the top order and it concerns him with the Ashes approaching later this year.
"The top order [were] getting blown away, I think you don't want heads rolling and players being dropped, you want to give them as much opportunity as possible, but it can't continue. You don't want to look too far ahead but England have got an Ashes series very soon and you can't rely on Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Ollie Robinson, Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad. You need the whole team to consistently play well," he adds.
The 43-year-old believes that England's tactics were what set them up for the disappointing finish to the Lord's Test, adding: "Sometimes it is very difficult when you know you've got the lower order and you're striving to take those wickets, it doesn't always happen.
"I know a lot has been talked about Joe Root's captaincy and his fielding positions, but sometimes it just doesn't work that way and India are allowed to play well, but I thought England were a little bit too over-attacking.
"You want to take the overs out of the last day, where India, instead of having 60 overs or 70 overs to bowl at England, they would've had 50 or 45 because they didn't score the runs quick enough. With that though, India played well and it was hugely disappointing for England to be in such a commanding position and throw it away so quickly."
Sidebottom believes there are promising signs in Root's leadership despite some criticism of the 30-year-old.
"[He is] a player who has put England in decent positions in both Test matches. I think his captaincy has improved massively; it's matured. But captains are going to make mistakes. During that final day, he probably thought that the ball was swinging around seaming. So if the bowlers are going to bowl their areas, it's going to give England opportunities.
"One thing he might question is his captaincy that day and maybe thought it was over-attacking, but you rely on your bowlers to do the business and it didn't quite work for England."
Sidebottom is convinced the way the Test against India panned out led to some tired performances in the team and he has made it clear what needs to happen ahead of this year's Ashes.
"When you've got Jimmy Anderson and Ollie Robinson bowling over after over, come the fifth day they'd be tired, and they did look tired. You're going to get that because Test matches are about grinding opposition players down and India did that so well.
"If they are going to stick with this team for the Ashes, they're going to have to work with the players, especially the top order. If not, they are going to have to do it sooner rather than later and bring in new faces to give England a better chance to win Test matches."
