From 17 August 2017, eye health professionals will use a new Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI) form when certifying people as severely sight impaired (blind) or sight impaired (partially sighted) in England.
The revamped form aims to provide councils with better information to ensure that people who are newly diagnosed are put in contact with the most relevant local sources of help.
The biggest changes are there are no longer two separate CVI forms for certifying adults and children. The new form has combined data fields and the single form will be used for all patients. Also, a copy of the CVI form can be provided to the patient in an accessible format of their choice.
a clear timeline detailing how quickly councils need to act after receiving a CVI form.
The form will replace outdated information such as guidance about driving from the DVLA, references to old legislation and incorrect charity helpline telephone numbers.
Eye clinic staff are encouraged to talk to patients about the form and explain the benefits of the certification and registration process. As well, eye clinic staff will have a key role in ensuring that babies, children and young people are referred promptly to the local authority’s specialist vision impairment education service. A referral should be triggered by a ‘No’ or ‘Not Known’ response to the question in Part 3 of the CVI form asking if a child/young person is known to the service.
The new form and Explanatory Notes can be found on the Department of Health website.
The CVI form and Explanatory Notes documents should be opened as ‘read only’ copies, saved with a local file name and tailored with your hospital’s logo and/or the clinic contact details.
The new form will be used with immediate effect and stocks of old forms will need to be destroyed.
The form does not apply to people who already have a CVI form.
What is the CVI form?
A CVI form is given to a patient who has been assessed by an Ophthalmologist as blind or partially sighted. With a patient’s consent, the form is then passed on to their GP, local council and The Royal College of Ophthalmologists Certifications Office.
The local council uses this form to ensure it meets the needs of all severely sight impaired and sight impaired people in its community. Councils have duty to keep a register of people who are partially sighted and blind.
Why should patients be registered?
Registeration is often a positive step to help people be as independent as possible.
Local councils will contact the patient to find out what support and advice they might need. This may include vision rehabilitation for adults or habitation for children and young people.
Patients will be made aware of information about entitlement to a wide range of concessions including discounts on travel, TV licence and benefits.
If registered, the patient may find it easier to prove the degree of their sight loss and eligibility for benefits.

Thanks to @Citi Foundation #ProgressMakers, Lesbia makes her career dream a reality!
When Lesbia was very young, her parents made a difficult decision. They wanted a better future for their family, so they moved from Central America to the U.S. to find it.
During that period, her parents were back and forth between the countries, and Lesbia rarely saw them. Six years later, she finally joined them on American soil.
When she started school, Lesbia couldn’t speak English. Other kids made fun of her name. She struggled.
But eventually, she learned to stop caring what other people thought. She realized that this new country held a wealth of opportunities.
As time went on and they worked to adjust to the U.S., other members of Lesbia’s family found Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF). They referred her, and after obtaining a work permit, she was able to get temporary child care assistance at HUF.
HUF changed Lesbia’s life. She was supported by multiple HUF programs, including Income Support, Financial Literacy, and the Bridge Program, where she completed the Customer Service and Sales Training, as well as the Patient Care Technician EKG/Phlebotomy Training. She’s currently finishing a class in math at Sheridan Technical School, and has a bright future.
Thanks to HUF, Lesbia’s family will no longer live paycheck to paycheck, and she, her husband, and her children will live better lives.
The Bridge Program at Hispanic Unity opens up a world of opportunities! With the generous support of @Citi Foundation and the Community #ProgressMakers grant, program participants have access to tuition assistance for career pathways in high demand fields, including national certifications in Patient Care Technician (PCT) and Customer Service and Sales Training (CSST).
Thanks to @Citi Foundation #ProgressMakers, Marisol makes her dream a reality!
From Boston, to Puerto Rico, to Miami, Marisol has been following her American dream since birth.
Born in Boston, she spent several years in the historic city before her family relocated to Puerto Rico, where she grew up and attended school.
As an adult, Marisol made the difficult decision to move to Florida in search of a better future for her family. She sought more safety and security. Marisol was excited and deeply committed to grow and thrive in her new home!
Starting fresh presented numerous challenges, however. She struggled to find work while caring for her two beloved children.
Luckily, Marisol found Hispanic Unity of Florida. Her brother had participated in HUF’s Center for Working Families program and referred her.
Marisol took the many opportunities offered by HUF and ran with them. She received income support through gift cards, child care assistance, hurricane relief help, and affordable housing. She also entered the Bridge Program where she became certified through HUF’s Customer Service and Sales Representative (CSR) training.
Shortly thereafter, she was able to secure part-time employment. Marisol says that the training helped her be more in touch with clients and better understand their needs.
The hard-working mother wanted to take things further and thrive in a new career, so she completed HUF’s Patient Care Technician Program (PCT) at Sheridan Technical College – a highly specialized training with a focus on EKG and Phlebotomy.
Countless new opportunities are now available to Marisol, and she plans to move on into the Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) Program. Eventually, she’ll work in a private practice, and she credits HUF for helping her to empower herself and help ensure her family’s successful future.
The Urban Institute recently released a research report titled Upskilling the Immigrant Workforce to Meet Employer Demand for Skilled Workers.
The report takes a look at the whole US but supplements its findings through site visits and interviews with a variety of stakeholders in three metro areas, Seattle, Dallas and Miami-Fort Lauderdale.
Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF) participated in the study and shared with the researchers our own insights into the work we do assisting immigrants who are both unemployed as well as, underemployed.
How many of us know that Broward County’s percentage of foreign-born residents is nearly 33% – or 3 out every 10 residents?
The implications are significant for our community. Our immigrant population is mostly first generation. And the needs of this population are different then communities where the immigrants are second or third generation or where the immigrants are English literate and highly educated.
Local communities with large foreign born residents must invest in foundational resources to assist these immigrants in their integration – which in turn – benefits the whole community.
At HUF where we serve immigrants from 30 different nations, our work is focused on English language instruction, education (for both parents and children), economic development (employment, small business creation, asset building, health and child care supports) and civic engagement.
This from the research report: This diversity within the immigrant workforce—with high numbers at both ends of the educational spectrum—is important context for our focus in this report on opportunities for immigrants employed in lower- and middle-skilled jobs.
At HUF, we simultaneously work with former professionals such as doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc. as well as individuals who never completed high school. This diversity within the immigrant community requires different approaches to the work community organizations such as HUF undertakes. For us, it means providing core services that are fundamental to all clients while providing “add-ons” such as information on how to have educational credentials certified for immigrants with college or advanced degrees.
“One out of every six workers in the US are immigrants.” The research report’s conclusions offers guidance for all our community’s stakeholders: state and local policy makers, workforce development service providers, funders and employers. Woven throughout the report are the community based organizations that are often at the frontlines of the work with immigrants.
South Florida is at full employment. Now is the time to support and address the needs of our whole community including communities of color and the immigrant community.
This article was originally published on June 6, 2018 on the UnidosUS website.
As of this posting, Florida is the only state in the nation to not have a federally approved accountability plan.
On April 20, 2018, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) submitted its revised Florida Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Plan to the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE).
Hispanic Unity of Florida is a member of a coalition of civil rights organizations that earlier this year during Florida’s Legislative Session, proposed legislation that would align Florida’s school accountability system with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the largest federal law governing K-12 education. Florida’s current system neglects to factor into its school grades the test scores of many English learner (EL) and Latino students, and fails to use a native language assessment when appropriate for the 10% of Florida’s K-12 students who are learning English.
Effective implementation of ESSA at the state and district level is key to ensuring that educators and ELs have the data and tools they need to become English proficient and academically successful as swiftly as possible.
Under ESSA, in exchange for federal funds, states must track and report the performance of subgroups of students—racial and ethnic minorities, those from low-income families, ELs, and those with disabilities—when assessing school performance.
Florida’s revised ESSA plan, however, sidesteps the intent of the federal law by bundling together the lowest-performing students regardless of subgroup. That means schools that are not meeting the needs of every subgroup can still get a passing grade, and parents are not aware.
The revised Florida plan creates the new “Federal Percent of Points Earned Index” (FPPEI) of which subgroup performance and an English Language Proficiency Indicator will be components. The fact that Florida created the FPPEI is a good sign that the state recognizes its obligation to align the state’s system with federal law. The FPPEI, a new section of a Florida school’s report card, in effect creates a parallel accountability system. The calculation of a school’s grade still does not take into account subgroup performance and English language proficiency. This decision is problematic, confusing and unnecessary.
What’s more, while the federal government urges states, when appropriate, to test students in their native language to better assess what they know—Florida chose not to meet this requirement, despite being home to one of the nation’s largest EL population.
A recent report by UnidosUS (formerly NCLR) study highlights that Florida educates the third-largest K–12 EL population in the nation. ELs make up 10% of Florida’s student population; nearly 290,000 students. The majority of ELs—75%—in the state speak Spanish. According to recent Florida state assessment results, double-digit gaps exist in graduation rates and academic achievement between ELs and their non–EL peers.
As a result of the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, it is estimated that Florida is now home to between 10,000 to 12,000 Puerto Rican students. While these students are American citizens, they also are predominately ELs.
For more information about ESSA and education issues impacting the Latino community, visit unidosus.org and UnidosUS’s education-focused website, Progress Report: Ensuring the Success of All Students.
Have conversations about ESSA with parents, teachers, principals, superintendents, candidates and state elected officials. Bring up the “Advocate Questions” in the conversation.
Engage parents and other stakeholders in your area by hosting an ESSA meeting at your school or a community-based organization.
Follow and Vote: Follow what local and statewide candidates have to say about education. Vote for candidates in the Primary Election on August 28, 2018, and the General Election, November 6, 2018 who are committed to all K-12 students. As voters we can and must make education a top campaign issue this election cycle!

In 2017, more than 5,000 eligible students attended classes at HUF and at partnering Broward and Miami-Dade libraries, and more than 30 trained volunteers contributed more than 2,300 hours as instructors last year.
The Pathways to Citizenship program led by the Office of New Americans (ONA) of Miami-Dade County and Hispanic Unity of Florida, Inc. is a county-wide initiative made possible with the support from our Corporate Founding Partner Citi Community Development and the generosity of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation. Partners in Miami-Dade County include: Miami-Dade Public Library System and the City of North Miami Beach and their North Miami Beach Library. Media partners include Univision 23, UniMas 69, Amor 107.5, Mix 98.3, WQBA and Radio Mambi.
The Citi Foundation today announced that Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF) was selected as the recipient of a $500,000 grant as part of the 2018 Community Progress Makers Fund.
The Fund is a $20 million, two-year initiative by the Citi Foundation to support high-impact community organizations that are driving economic opportunities in our communities, by bringing together residents, nonprofits, businesses, and municipal agencies.
HUF joins a group of 40 change agents (five in south Florida) that are playing a key role in coordinating the efforts of multiple partners toward common goals and working in new ways to address urban challenges in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami/South Florida, New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, and Washington D.C.
Through the fund, HUF will have the opportunity to offer low- and moderate-income families with access to customized vocational training programs, credentials and career pathways for middle-skill jobs in high demand.

The dodgems hire or bumper cars as they were previously known as are the most popular fairground rides around. Each player gets in their electric powered dodgem car, and when the siren goes, they ride around the track trying to avoid the other cars. It doesn’t really matter if you crash as the cars all have a large rubber surround on them. With the ”dodgems hire”, there is a great sensation for all the riders, there is the thrill and excitement of near misses / crashes and shunts from behind. We hire dodgems to many clients and they are always re-booked as they are in constant use throughout the duration of the event. The dodgems hire is great, and will be the centre piece of your event. The great thing with the dodgems hire is that the children and adults can use them together, and they are great fun.

Because of high wax content, sunflower oil refinery plant has one more process than other vegetable oil refinery plant. So except for degumming, deacidification, decolorization, deodorization, sunflower oil dewaxing process should be added after deodorization process in sunflower oil refining process.
Sunflower oil is one of the world's traditional oils. Rich in linoleic acid (54% to 70% of total fatty acid content) and oleic acid (about 39%), the nutritional value is higher, but the crude sunflower oil contains trace amounts of wax (about 0.10%) and oxoacid, affecting quality and storage stability. By dewaxing, sunflower oil will still remain transparent and clear even in winter.
About sunflower oil dewaxing process, there is detailed introduction, please read-- Dewaxing process.
1.Crude sunflower oil degumming In this step gums in crude sunflower oil are removed by hydration with the help of phosphoric acid.
2.Deacidification (neutralization) In this step free fatty acids are neutralized by using sodium hydroxide and convert them into soap.Additional impurities are also removed by adsorption on soap.
3.Decolorization During de-colorization, unwanted pigments are adsorbed physically and oil will become much clearer.
4.Deodorization Deodorization is used to remove unacceptable odors by steam distillation, the odoriferous compound are stripped off with the help of live injected steam into heated oil under high vacuum pressure.
5.Dewaxing (necessary for sunflower oil) Sunflower oil dewaxing machine reduce wax content in sunflower oil, which help increase edibility of sunflower oil.
Sunflower oil refinery plant produced by Henan Doing Company has exported to many countries. We can design 1-1000TPD sunflower oil refinery plant for you and offer turnkey project oversea services.

There is a new obsession among higher education administrators and the politicians who oversee them. That new obsession can be summarized as follows: Colleges must prepare students for jobs. While this new mantra might seem innocuous and even well intentioned, there is more to it than meets the eyes.
In the first place, in the world we live today the specific requirements for different jobs continue to change at a dizzying pace. What we think is most important today will most likely not be tomorrow. Leading to these changes are factors including technological transformations, as well as changes in the economic, social, and legal foundations of society. These changes make it virtually impossible to produce graduates with the precise know-how to be applied as soon as they graduate. And no one should ever think that what one learns in college is all that is needed to succeed. It is not about memorizing facts; it is about people’s ability to keep learning and adapting to a changing world.
So, what are the skills that we should be teaching in college, regardless of a particular career path? First is critical thinking, that is, the ability to gather the correct information, dismiss unsubstantiated material, and question conventional wisdom. In that way, we can make informed decisions. Second is problem solving. Life is full of surprises with new problems arising at every turn, and that is why one needs to have the ability to analyze the components of problems and discern what is the best decision possible, while being conscientious about the fact that there is no such a thing as a perfect solution. Third is the ability to work in teams. Because everyday problems are becoming more and more complex, we need the knowledge, experience, and insight from people with different backgrounds. To that end we have to be able to reach out and seek advice and alternative approaches, and that can only be achieved through well-designed teams.
Fourth, no matter the discipline or career path, being a good communicator is key. That means being able to express ideas convincingly to a variety of audiences, whether in writing or verbally.
By no means do I mean to imply that the only things that we need to teach in college are the skills mentioned above. People need to have a strong literacy in their discipline of choice, a combination of breath and depth in the knowledge and practice of fundamental subjects. But without the foundational skills mentioned above, we may be producing graduates who are not prepared for the workforce because they graduate based only on their ability to memorize facts for a particular test.
The problem is that they will forget most of those items within weeks after the exam. After all, humans are not like a computer hard drive.
And this is not just a personal opinion. A couple of weeks ago The Wall Street Journal published an article titled, “More Companies Teach Workers What Colleges Don’t.” The article describes a number of examples in which corporations are retraining recent college graduates for them to be able to contribute efficiently to the goals of their employers.
The crux of the article is that employers are complaining that many college graduates lack even basic critical thinking abilities. That is why many employers are becoming more and more skeptical of college diplomas and transcripts because of what they perceive to be “degree inflation.” Jobs interviews are being geared more towards figuring out if the applicant has the right skills or not. Thus, many employers feel dissatisfied with the way colleges are preparing students and that they have to invest time and money in teaching important skills.
So, what are some employers doing? Their thinking is as follows: If we have to teach our entry-level employees what they need to know, we will just siphon them out from high school. This approach is, of course, bad for our higher education system, a system that is more and more dependent upon tuition money, and that in many areas of the country is experiencing a drop in enrollment numbers due to a decline in the number of high school graduates.
Another factor we need to be aware regarding the message of “preparing students for a job” motto is that there is a subtle but evident predisposition for undermining certain areas that politicians perceive as “useless.” Despite such biases, many studies (mentioned in this column over the years) have shown that people with liberal arts degrees not only are able to secure well-compensated jobs, but also show a great deal of personal satisfaction. After all, what better way to develop skills in critical thinking than majoring in philosophy? What better way to develop communication skills than majoring in English, modern languages, or communications studies? What better way to engender creativity and problem solving than majoring in the arts?
These are the kind of skills we should be emphasizing in college because they are the ones that will pave the way not only to satisfying employment, but also are the ones needed by employers. Not surprisingly, a large proportion of people (near 50 percent) with a college degree end up working in a sector that did not require the particular knowledge they learned in their majors.
Therefore, both administrators and faculty in colleges and universities need to be aware of these realities in order to promote the value of a higher education degree, particularly in the liberal arts. And there is no better way to achieve that by demonstrating that we ourselves are good communicators.


text: This paper aims to investigate the impact of board gender diversity on dividend policy in the context of Jordanian commercial banks. Using a sample of 13 Jordanian commercial banks listed on Amman Stock Exchange during the period 2005-2014, we find strong and robust evidence indicating that diversified boards tend to pay higher cash dividends to shareholders since women can better address the needs of investors in impatient emerging markets. Moreover, this paper presents the negative moderating effect of both, the government existence in the boardroom and international financial crisis on the relationship between gender diversity and dividend policy indicators. Under such conditions, the diversified boards became more conservative and retained most of the profit and paid fewer dividends because of the risk-averse tendencies of women directors.

Parents are being hit by a ‘pink tax’ and regularly forking out more for clothes and toys aimed at girls rather than boys, a study has revealed.
Researchers have uncovered a ‘gender price gap’ in kids’ clothes and toys with stores charging more for almost identical items depending on whether it is targeted at girls or boys.
The research, carried out by parenting site ChannelMum.com ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8, revealed nearly three quarters (71 per cent) of parents believe girls’ clothes cost more than boys.
For example, a blue and green striped jacket from George at Asda costs £8-£9 for 1-6-year-olds but rises to £10-£12 for a pink one, an increase of almost a third.
A pack of boys’ briefs in Marks and Spencer will set parents back £4-£7, while the same number of girls’ briefs will amount to £6-£8.
It is not just clothes either. A pair of blue inline roller skates in Argos cost £7.99 while the pink pair rises to £10.99, which equates to around 37 per cent more.
But girls aren’t always paying more, with a pair of white skinny jeans from River Island priced at £20 for boys but just £16 for girls, a 25 per cent increase.
Over half (58 per cent) of parents reckon they have to pay more for accessories aimed at young girls while 52 per cent believe the cost of a girl’s coat is often higher than one for a boy.
T-shirts and tops (37 per cent), nightwear (21 per cent) and underwear (17 per cent) are also among the items of clothing parents believe are priced higher for girls.
By contrast, boys are charged more for shoes, something that has been noticed by 28 per cent of parents, and jeans (44 per cent).
Worryingly, the gender price gap begins when children are as young as 12 months, with 71 per cent of parents who have seen a difference claiming those with girls are forced to pay more.
Previous studies have shown adult women are regularly charged more for items ranging from razors to dry cleaning, something critics refer to as the ‘pink tax’.
MPs have debated clamping down on the practice for adults and now a huge 97 per cent of the 1,156 parents polled want gender-based pricing for children’s items stamped out too.
Over half (55 per cent) are calling for it to be made illegal, while 42 per cent back a voluntary code of conduct for retailers and manufacturers.
A further 56 per cent believe retailers make it difficult to compare prices by dividing items into ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ sections, with 37 per cent saying they would back moves to make all kids’ items ‘gender-neutral‘.
As a result, a third of mums and dads are shunning stores using gender-based pricing.
Speaking about the findings, Siobhan Freegard, founder of ChannelMum.com, said: “Treating baby girls as a commodity to be exploited aged just 12 months old is terrible.
“The so-called ‘pink tax’ is bad enough for adult women but a pink tax for tots is just plain wrong.
“There’s simply no justification for charging more based on gender. An item which is the same or similar should have the same or a similar price tag, regardless of which gender wears or uses it.

Twenty-eight MPs tabled a proposal in parliament on Thursday requesting a debate on the so-called occupation loan paid by the collaborationist government to Germany during the Second World War as well as the issues of reparations for victims of Nazi atrocities and looted treasures.
The proposal, signed by MPs from Pasok, New Democracy (ND), the Radical Left Coalition (Syriza) and independent deputies, calls on the issues be discussed in the presence of the ministers of finance, foreign affairs, defence and justice as well as representatives of all interested parties.
The signatories also called on parliament to adopt a clear stance on what they described as a “crucial national issue”.
The 28 MPs underlined that at an Italian-German financial conference held in Rome in 1942, the Axis powers arbitrarily decided that occupied Greece, as it had fought on the side of the Allies, was obliged to fund the country’s occupation through a “loan”.
victim of unparalleled cruelty inflicted by the Nazi forces.
because it is the only country to which Germany has not paid reparations.

Learn how to cut fabric with your Cricut Maker while making this cute DIY Personalized Pillowcase project! It’s crazy easy to make and is a fun no-sew project for your Cricut machine! I work as a Brand Ambassador for Cricut. This is sponsored content.
Last week I shared answers to some of the most frequently asked questions I get about the Cricut Maker Rotary Blade attachment. Today I thought I’d share a fun project with you that is the perfect way to show off what the rotary blade can do.
Some of my favorite things to cut out with the Cricut rotary blade are fabric letters. I love to add them to pillows, quilts, blankets, and other gifts. It’s such a fun way to personalize something simple to turn into a unique gift.
This personalized pillowcase is super scrappy and is made using 5″ squares of fabric (sometimes called charm squares). Since I used a pre-made pillowcase for this project, the 5″ squares, and a Cricut machine, I didn’t have to CUT OR SEW anything to make this project. How’s that for fast?
I chose to put “you are so loved” on the front of my pillowcase (yes it’s inspired by Harry Potter *wink*). You can change it to add any phrase or name to the pillowcase that you’d like.
I decided a few weeks ago that in 2019 I would FINALLY start getting some videos made to upload to my long-neglected YouTube channel. I’m starting with this pillowcase project since it’s such a simple tutorial and it gives you a great sense of what the Maker machine can do.
If you get a moment, go ahead and subscribe to my YouTube channel. There is only ONE lonely video on there now, but I hope it won’t stay that way for long. I’ve got a fun mix of video content planned for the channel, everything from crafty videos, to quilt block tutorials and travel journals. Hopefully, there will even a few fun surprises.
Okay, are you ready to make something?
If you click HERE you can get access to my file in the Cricut Design space. I used all Cricut images and fonts for the project (they aren’t my designs, they are Cricut’s).
If you would like your personalized pillowcase to say something different, just change the text. You can also change the font if you’d like. Just make sure you choose a thick blocky font so it will show up well on your pillowcase.
Send your file to the Cricut Machine.
BEFORE you cut we need to do a few things. Since we are “cheating” on this project by using 5″ squares of fabric we need to lay out our letters on the mat so that they cut INSIDE the 5″ squares.
To do this you’ll need to split your letters between two different Cricut mats.
Note: You’ll need to go in and UNATTACH the letters from each other in the Group in Design Space before you click MAKE IT. This will allow you to move the letters around on the mat individually.
In Cricut Designs space after you click MAKE IT, the mat screen will appear.
Click on the letter you’d like to move, click on the 3 dots in the top corner and click “MOVE TO ANOTHER MAT”. When prompted add a new mat.
Then move the letter onto that mat.
Keep moving letters until you have a heart and 6-7 letters on your first mat and no more than 8 letters on your second mat. (If you’re spelling something long you may need a 3rd mat).
Now, on your first mat, just drag the letters so that they are within the 5″x5″ squares. Since there is a grid on the screen that is the same as the grid on the cutting mat this step is pretty easy.
Once you’ve got the letters for your personalized pillowcase where you want them, proceed with the cut.
The spray I used is by Thermoweb. You spray the adhesive onto the back of the letters then wait for it to dry. When it’s dry it turns into a fusible. Make sure you follow the directions on the bottle before you begin.
The adhesive in the bottle is permanent. You don’t need to sew the letters on, but you can if you want.
Since the adhesive “catches” a bit of the side of the fabric letters it will help seal them so they do not fray (or at least do not fray much).
If you don’t have an EasyPress you can use an iron without steam to set the letters. I love using the EasyPress for fusible applique though since it gives such a nice even heat and the fused items tend to stick the first time!
To create your personalized pillowcase, you can also cut out fabric that has been fused to the fusible webbing BEFORE cutting. I just thought that the spray would be quicker than cutting sheets of fusible webbing and ironing it onto fabric (and it was!).
If you have any questions about the process be sure to leave them in the comments section!
Thanks for sharing :) I just got a Cricut Maker, if using Fusible webbing on the back of fabric should I use another blade instead of the rotary?
I prefer the rotary blade for fabric with fusible webbing. I’d only use the fused fabric blade if you don’t have a Maker machine that can’t take the rotary blade or are cutting something very small.
Great project! If I want to use fusible web on the wrong side of the fabric, do I peal off the paper before applying to the cricut cutting mat? Do I cut with the paper backing it without?
I prefer to peel the paper off first. Sometimes it will slip as the machine cuts so it’s easier to pull it off before you add it to the mat.

IOWA CITY - Two bad losses in a row do not have the Iowa football team running for the hills.
With four games - all Big Ten contests - to go, the Hawkeyes are doing the only thing they can. Circle the wagons and plow ahead.
Iowa tries to move past losses to Penn State and Northwestern with a road game against Indiana on Saturday. The Hoosiers won their first conference game last weekend at Illinois.
"The past two weeks we haven't played well," said Iowa senior center James Ferentz. "I think we know what we're capable of. I think the outlook's got to be positive and we've got to make the most of these next four weeks."
"We're a team that's lost four games, and we've got four to go. Our mindset, I hope, is that we're going to get ready to play Indiana and go down and do a nice job," said Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. "I don't think anybody's hanging their heads. I didn't detect that Sunday. I'm confident we'll come in and have a good week of work."
Iowa has plenty of room for improvement.
Most of the pressure for the losses has fallen on the offense.
Against the Nittany Lions, the Hawkeyes failed to score until late in the game. Against the Wildcats, it was more of the same. Iowa trailed 28-3 before two James Vandenberg rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Those problems have been a conglomeration of a number of factors.
Vandenberg and his receivers have struggled to connect - with blame aplenty on both ends - and many times when they do find each other, it is for short gains when more yardage is needed.
Running back injuries continue to plague Iowa. Damon Bullock and Greg Garmon were the early-season victims. Now that they are back, Mark Weisman - who more than filled their shoes - is out for Saturday's game.
The injury bug moved to the offensive line in the Penn State game, taking out two veteran starters and thrusting inexperienced players onto the field.
"Injuries are a part of football. That happens," said Coach Ferentz, whose two-deep this week features five freshmen and eight redshirt freshmen. "I just know this. We have enough (personnel) to be successful this week, and that's really what I'm worried about."
"They've been all-around team losses - offense, defense, special teams. We've just got to get ourselves in the right direction again and kind of offense feeding off defense, defense feeding off offense, and special teams contributing as well," said Vandenberg. "It's going to take a full team effort and we've got to have a good week of practice to get that done."
Iowa's defense, thought to be a weakness at the start of the season, had been a strength in the early going. Even when it began slowly, after halftime adjustments were made, it came out strong and shut down the opposing offense.
That has not been the case in the last two losses when the Hawkeyes were run on throughout the entire game. Last week, both Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter and running back Venric Mark gained more than 160 yards.
"I think it falls on every senior on this team to show some leadership," said James Ferentz. "We've had hard times before. It's not the end of the world. It starts today."
After Indiana, the Hawkeyes return home against 0-4 Purdue, go on the road at Michigan, and host Nebraska the day after Thanksgiving to end the season.
Iowa and its coach are keeping the season in perspective.
"There were a lot of benefits of spending six years in the NFL. One of the biggest ones was learning not to worry too much about things you don't have much control over," said Coach Ferentz. "I think I've always understood people are going to act very positively, too positively, when we do well. When we lose, it's just the opposite.
"The world is not ending. It's not the creation of a new civilization either when we win. Worry about the things you need to worry about. I think that's what I've learned."

STJ Advisors acted as independent advisor to the company and Oaktree Capital on the £349m IPO of Countryside Properties, a leading UK home builder and urban regeneration partner. Despite some of the worst equity market conditions in years, Countryside managed to price its IPO at a premium to the sector, with a market cap of £1 billion. STJ has continued its 100% completion success rate (4 IPOs and 6 Follow-on offerings) during an extended period of volatility that has seen an EMEA IPO failure rate of 46% since the summer (and 6 European IPOs pulled in 2016).
Countryside’s positive aftermarket trading on low volumes compared favourably to the difficult IPO background for other recent IPOs and reflected the ability to build a supportive and quality shareholder base of “true believers”, starting well ahead of the offering, that were prepared to invest despite the volatile market backdrop. Key aspects of STJ’s advice included (1) An extensive early marketing program - with 5 rounds of Early Look investor meetings prior to IPO launch, site visits and a dedicated investor seminar on the Partnerships Division, with Early look investors allocated 61% of the total offering; (2) Motivation and empowerment of a highly qualified and well-co-ordinated bank syndicate which educated a wide base of investors; (3) Flexibility on the key aspects of the IPO such as timing and sizing (with a flexible 30-50% offer size); and (4) Targeting of all pockets of investor demand both geographically and by investor category, with a strong result in the retail offering.

Every human being have some primary needs like food, shelter, clothes. Also some secondary needs like education,health center and an occupation. This needs should be available to each and human being (which together becomes a society). We live in a society which is consists of people of different social, economical, gender and physical status.

Click the above link to see how we did in our CQC inspection.
"We as family have all used the facilities at Tollerton on a regular basis for 10 years. None of us have had any concerns or reason to complain at any time. We have over the years, used all of the means of contacting the practice for appointments & have never had to wait more than say a working week maximum."
"The Tollerton Surgery delivers a high standard of care from unsuitable and overcrowded premises. We hope that new surgery facilities will be delivered soon, but until then staff, medical and non medical do a brilliant job in a couple of converted bungalows. I would recommend the practice to anybody."

I and many others already considered this dead, cool!
That can be arranged comrade!
So it is Very interesting so much. But Some work on 38A?
How to make a intro in-game level?
Not all things have been forgotten. Progress is slow and gradual, but this project is not dead folks. If necessary I might leak another level or two in the future.
I've been moving around and focusing on more serious issues outside the community, but fortunately I will not be hosting further contests and I will talk to the team about wrapping up results for more contests.
My name is bolded, even though I didn't submit a level. Might want to fix that, The Thwomp King!
I don't think he will be doing that anytime soon.
Also there is no backup host. Sorry to disappoint.
no more extensions, it's now or never lol.
I agree. It's time for my contest reign to end.
